His devotion to duty and his willingness to spend long hours in our behalf have not gone unnoticed. Mr. Hoffman is unswerving in his loyalty to high principles and is constantly alert to the scientific advances in his subject field. It is for these qualities of character, altruisrn, and scholarship that we proudly name him in this dedication.

Gaiety, laughter, and happiness are usually associated with birthdays and anniversaries. Frequently there is a sense of pride and accomplishment related to the observance. This occasion of the tenth anniversary of the initial issue of The PORTAL combines all these good features To the Class of T946 must go the laurels the compliments for undertaking the publica tion of a yearbook Considerable enthusiasm for the task as well as optimism in the future was shown by this group Members of succeeding classes have accepted this initial challenge and have proceeded to improve and expand on the original publication What contrasts there are between that first book and this present edition' Only 68 pages bound in a paper cover made up that first book Some 92 pages now constitute The PORTAL which is further enhanced with a padded cover The Cla s of 1946 embraced 46 members whil the Class of T955 consists of 80 students Even the faculty has changed Only four of the ll teachers on the T946 staff are still members of the present secondary school staff which numbers 29 Our school plant is now made up of 25 classrooms while in 1946 the entire secondary school of grades nine through twelve occupied only eight classrooms Yes anniversaries and birthdays are happy occasions to remmlsce And yet they are times to look forward with enthusiasm to anticipate the opportunities and challenges of the future The members of the Class of 1955 through this tenth edition of The PORTAL have entered record on the pages of history at Richland The challenge to each graduate is to go forward individually and make a commendable record in the years that lie ahead Be interested be enthusiastic be alert to the potentialities of the future SU PERVISING PRINCIPAL DR GLENN C HESS 'IO S S I ... . . 1 Q - 1 1 . BOARD OF SCHOOL DIRECTORS Ten year ago The PORTAL made its appearance on the Richland scene. At that time the district schools had iust begun lo reach the limits of their capacity. The Board of Directors, at that time, realized that a building program was imminent, but just how a building program of the required magnitude could be carried through was the sixty tour dollar question. However, ten years ago the existing district schools were accommodating the school population. In this year of 1955, The PORTAL is ten years old. Within its brief span of life, the seemingly impossible was accomplished. A new building was erected, and for a time it seemed that the School Directors could rest on their oars. The classroom space was adequate. In case anyone believed this to be true, he was soon to be disillusioned. Two years ago, or several months before the last unit of our new school plant was com- pleted, it was necessary to rent classroom space outside our own district. Again the Board of Directors is confronted with the sixty-four dollar question. Marlin Wingard . .. ., . ,, President Robert S. Bogar . . Vice President A.

TO EAT OR NOT TO EAT, THAT IS NO QUESTION When counting our blessings, we must not forget the many services we enjoy which were scarcely known a generation ago. A corps of capable bus drivers maintain ci near flawless schedule in transporting us to and from school. We are also privileged to eat a delicious hot lunch in the cheerful atmosphere of a clean and well- lighted cafeteria, and each morning as we enter the building we are impressed with the spotless condition of the halls and rooms which are kept neat and clean by on alert and hard working janitorial staff, NOW WE KNOW WHY THOSE HALLS SPARKLE f 'Q '-fi., 11111 111111111111 1811 11111 11111111111 1 11111 I 111211111 11111 1111111 11111 111110 I 11111 N1 1 1 11115111 111111111 11 11111 1111111 1111 11 11 1 1 S1111111s 811111111 1111 111111 IIISIN 1 1111 111 1 1 I'111111 1l11ff1S 111111 111111111 BC11S1I 111681111111 11 1181111 1 11 If 11 11121116101 111 111111 1 II 11111151 1 1118 1 1 1 1 1014 11111111111111 111111 11111111111111 sn I 1111111111 11111111111 11111 11 1111 1 1 811111111 1 1 ll 1 111 1111 SEARCHING Carol Pailos, Secretary, Diller Helman, Vice Presid THE SENIOR CLASS . . . This was it. This was our Senior Year. All of Us had looked forward to it, but now that it was upon us, some of our number began to wonder whether it was really what they wanted. After all, the completion of this year would bring with it a tremendous change in our lives, but there was little time for any of us to try to predict what that change would mean. First to occupy our attention was the organiza- tion of the class. David W. Samuel was appointed as our class adviser, and the election of class officers gave us Glenn Keiper as president, Diller Helman as vice president, Robert Berish as treasurer, and Carol Pallos as secretary. Almost immediately we began the work of replenishing our treasury in anticipation of our Senior Trip. The first few months of school were set aside for the selling of wallets, bracelets, Christmas cards, and stationery. Some of the financial endeavors were combined with pleasure. For instance, the Pigskin Prance in September followed a football theme, and the October dance picked up the spirit of Hallowe'en and was named the Bums' Bounce. Cider and ginger bread were on hand for refreshments, and everyone had a great time. The Coronation Ball in January was one of the most important events on the school's social calender. The Class selected -Xxx s NEW HORIZONS ent, Glenn Keiper, President, Robert Berish, Trfasurer Ronald Smith and Nancy Feightner as its king and queen, The entire school was proudly aware of the contribution to sports by members of the Senior Class. Football, basketball, baseball, and track were all indebted to Senior athletes. Unwilling to be outdone by their male counter- parts, the Senior girls did their share in Richland sports' circles. Twice they loosed their wrath against the Johnstown Center University of Pittsburgh Girls' Basketball Team, and twice they came through victoriously. The first game was played on the Cypress Avenue floor, and the second on our home floor before a crowd of five hundred students. Richland's team consisted of Carol Pallas, Darleene Beck, lllene Holsinger, Florence Livingston, Beverly Kramer, and Janet Rogers. Three Student Council offices were filled by Senior boys. Ron Smith was chosen president in an election held in April, '54. Ron was also presi- dent of the West Central Pennsylvania Conference of Student Councils. Jim Caldwell and Bob Decker won the offices of vice president and treasurer respectively. Rest Assured was the title of our Class Play. Director David W. Samuel was assisted by Phyllis Freeburn as student director. The cast, headed by Robert Berish, included Frank Smith, lllene Holsinger, George Kleban, Glenn Keiper, Barry Sipes, Lois Medling, Barbara Ziants, Francis Hlavay, and Darleene Beck. Membership in the National Honor Society was granted to seven members of the class. This honor went to Elizabeth Chontas, Robert Nagrant, Robert Berish, Glenn Keiper, Phyllis Freeburn, Donna Bloom, lllene Holsinger, Rosalie Charney, and Stanley Kronen. All through the various music groups there was a generous sprinkling of Senior talent. Following the preference of the maiority, the class visited the nation's Capitol, Washington, D, C., on April l8, 19, 20. Enjoying the advantages of a guided tour, the class visited the points of great- est historical significance. One of the most enjoyable experiences on the trip was a moonlight excursion trip down the Potomac River, Exciting as our Washington trip was, things were very much astir when we returned home. Preparations for the Junior-Senior Prom were well under way, and May 7, the crowning social event of our school days was upon us. The Juniors went all-out in their effort to make the Prom second to none, and not a detail was overlooked in their effort to accomplish their aim. We danced to the music of Dave Dysert in the beautifully decorated gymnasium. So much happened during the next few weeks that weeks passed like days. Baccalaureate was held on Sunday, May 22. Class Day followed with the program centering around a baseball theme. Any attempt at a description of these last days of high school would prove inadequate. lt is better that each one remember the events in his own way. However, Commencement exercises on May 26 brought an end to the thrills and experiences of twelve years in school. These are not really the outcasts of the Senior Class. They are a group of girls who were assigned to Mrs, Ruth Brewer in the Home Economics Department for home room. Of course they look nice, but why shouldn't they? They have everything a young girl's heart could desire, that is, almost everything. They have an ironing board and iron, a washer, and plenty of mirrors. lncidentally, we don'7 know whether ar not anyone noticed that there are no boys in this home YOOTTI.

David Samuel guided the discussions about the many intricate problems of our times, from the much discussed and often over-emphasized teen-age problems to problems of international scope. Each week, thought-provoking panel discussions alerted the Seniors to the problems confronting a complex civilization, and endeavored to show the best method of coping with such problems. SOLID AND TRIG Courses in Solid Geometry and Trigonometry had twelve and fourteen students respectively, all Seniors, and all boys. Both classes had Miss Lois Kindelberger as teacher.

The masterful use of language is a fine art. The correct use of our native language is a duty too often disregarded. In our English Classes we were not only being constantly retaught correct usages and the need tor clarity of expression, but we were taken back and introduced to the ways and lives of many of our English authors. We began the year with the study of the Shakespearian tragedy, Macbeth, and we devoted a considerable amount of time to poetry. The course would not have been complete without our share of writing, and so we worried through such assignments as investigative themes and auto- biographies. Michael Hozik was our English teacher, FRENCH CLASS French is where you find us, and usually the us referred to here was in the Driver Training Classroom. This room is iust a small room in the south wing of the building and was originally designated as the Men Teachers' Room. Either because of its size or because of the Drivers' Training sign now on the door, it was a difficult place to find. On occasions when all attempts to locate the room tailed, our teacher, Miss Ellen Kauftman, would assume the role of a detective and seek out the lost wanderers and return them to la salle de classef' Such cases of mass amnesia were always followed by rather severe symptoms of writer's cramp. It is understandable why, on certain days, we wrote more French than we spoke. YOU MEAN WE'RE NOT GOING TO WRITE ANYTHING TODAY? ENGLISH 'X Weaver, Hlavely, Chontos, Mr. Hozilc, Dowen.

Editor- in-chief Robert Berish and his crew had many a skirmish with deadlines. However, the Year ended with the outcome of these skirmishes definitely in the staFf's favor. The young journalists were well supplied with material for news stories, and it goes without saying that the basketball season produced plenty of material for the sports' page. The paper, which is one of two high school weeklies in the area, carried many regular features which were extremely popular with the student body. MECHANICAL DRAWING Approximately one hundred forty students were enrolled in the Mechanical Drawing Classes of Leonard Orange during the course of the year. Enrollment in the exploratory course for Junior High students changed each nine weeks. This course consisted of the fundamentals of mechanical drawing, blue print reading, lettering, planning, sketching, and learning the use of various types of drafting tools. Senior High students had more advanced work in drawing, and each student was required to complete a project. After having a particular proiect approved by Mr. Orange, they would make a drawing and follow through with the completed article which was usually executed in metal or wood.

HOME ECONOMICS HOME ECONOMICS Sixty girls and six boys of the Senior High School are enrolled in Vocational Home Econo- mics, while all the girls of the Junior High are enrolled in a less intensive course termed Home Economics. As the name implies, these students devote their time to acquiring the skills that will aid them in planning and caring tor their own homes. The Junior High worked on the basic principles of sewing and cooking. The Senior High students did more advanced work such as interior deco- rating, crafts, and grooming. The attractive green print drapes now being used in the Home Economics Rooms are the result of their work. These drapes were made from start to finish by the students, and point up the worthwhile accomplishments of the classes and their instruc- tors, Miss Riddell and Mrs. Brewer. PHYSICS CLASS Six periods a week are devoted to the study of Physics. The twenty-one Seniors on the class roster have the textbook and workbook assign- ments supplemented by lectures, movies, experi- ments, and field trips. The principles of sound, mechanics, electricity, light, and atomic energy, each received its fair share of attention. To find and develop future physicists who will be able to carry on the work so well advanced by others is the hope of the instructor, Galen Hoitman, THE RESULTS ARE SOMETIMES BAFFLING HOPE THIS ONE TURNS OUT O.

DECORATING THE GYMNASIUM DECORATING THE GYMNASIUM AII other activities seem to be outdistanced in popularity by the activity which prepares the way for the main event, namely, that of decorating the gym- nasium. On some occasions, there exists a doubt as to whether the gym is being decorated for the dance, or the dance is being held so that the gym can be decorated. Be that as it may, there is never a shortage of workers for this delightful task. Some students will even forego the privilege of attending class just to help with the decorations. It is, of course, only fair to make note of the fact that the cleanup work following the party or dance moves forward with an equal amount of vim and vigor. The group in the accompanying photo was pre- paring for the annual Coronation Ball at which the King and Queen of the Senior Class were crowned. SEEDING THE LAWN Much effort is required to landscape and beautify an area as large as the grounds surrounding our school, but the work has been far advanced by the students enrolled in the Agricultural Course, under the capable supervision of Donald Fyock, Vocational Agriculture Instructor. The task of transforming the desert-like areas of yellow clay and stones into sweeping lawns is not to be accomplished without a lot of hard work and a generous portion of know-how. The results attained so far gives us some concept as to the results when the project is completed and the grass has had a chance to develop into healthy green lawn.

It was the comedy, Rest Assured, and enjoyed a run of two matinees and one evening performance. The story was woven around a wealthy family, the Morlocks, and an Italian family, the Lanconis. lt told what happened when Mr. Morlock wouldn't let his daughter marry Joe Lanconi. Mr. Morlock and Mr. Lanconi become engaged in a scuffle. The events which followed became almost as complex for the audience as they did for poor Mr, Morlock when he discovered he was dead. The climax was reached and the mystery clarified when the maid SCENE AND STAGE CREW FOREGROUND - Freeburn Medling, Charney, Giffin Kramer, Holsinger, Ziants Luther, Mattis, Smith, Hlavay Sipes, Keiper. awakened Mr. Morlock who had gone through all the experiences of an inferno in his dream. When he discovered he was still alive, his vices of greed and selfishness changed to generosity and kindness toward his family. The ending was a happy one. lncidentaly, Robert Berish, who was absent when pictures were being taken, capped the leading roles in both class plays, and to Bob we must say, Well done. David Samuel, the Senior Class Adviser, directed the play, and was assisted by Phyllis Freeburn as student director, LEFT PHOTO-Holsinger, Giffen, Smith. ON FLOOR-Hlavay.

Suspense and anticipation vied with each other for supremacy as the crowd gathered in the beauti- fully decorated High School Gym to witness the ceremonies of the Annual Coronation Ball on January 5, 1955. The verty atmosphere itself, as well as the carefully prepared throne, gave silent but eloquent testimony that some spectacular event was about to happen. A hush fell over the guests as the snow-like carpet was rolled out for the royal procession. Down the long white aisle, which must have seemed endless to the crown bearers, came the attendants, followed by the flower girl who scattered flower petals along the royal path, Nancy Feightner and Ronald Smith entered through the latticed portal and ascended to the throne where they were crowned King and Queen of the Class of '55. Gifts were presented to the new monarchs and their court, after which the ceremonial cake was brought in and cut according to the traditional NOW, WHAT ARE WE supposso TO Do? custom.

The work on this project was begun early and was under the expert guidance of Class Adviser Miss Sue Green. The popularity of this proiect has resulted in a series of broken records in total sales. This year's sales topped those of previous years. The candy sale enabled the class to earn most of the money needed to carry out its programs, the most important of which was the Junior-Senior Prom. Next in line was a round and square dance which proved successful in every way. Through the remainder of the year a series of events kept class spirit high. The ordering and delivery of felt goods caused quite a stir, not only in the class itself, but throughout the entire school. As is the custom, the Juniors were permitted to display their felt goods for one day. The display consisted of wearing the hats which were made in every con- ROOM 200 'I ' - i... lmiemes ROW-Paul, Allen, Seliga, sfuu, McGough, Mcciuan, s. zammgfmsn, 'Bottom' Row-Mas!

Made up in the class colors of gold and gray, the hats made a colorful spectacle as they bobbed back and forth through the halls. The Class selected the yellow tea rose as its flower, and adopted the motto: Whatever you do, do wisely and think of the consequences. Annie Get Your Gun was the selection for the Class Play, and was presented on March 25. The play had a western plot, and was taken from the movie and stage play of the same name. lt had a cast of some forty persons, and was directed by Mrs. Nora Covode, assisted by Mrs, Katharyn O'Connor. Patricia Boyer and Fred Karchnak had the lead roles. The Junior-Senior Prom on May 7 ended the Juniors' social functions. This was the second year the affair was held at the school. The luxuriously decorated gymnasium took on the appearance of a ballroom, and it really was one of those rare occasions we'll always want to remember.

In organizing the staff an attempt was made to define the work of these two groups separately, but as the year advanced, the duties and assignments were made to persons who were available at the moment and there was a tendency for the editorial and business staffs to lose their identities. ln the end, the important thing was the pooling of the efforts of everyone toward one goalp namely, the publication of the yearbook. From the time the lirst line was drawn in the dummy until the last sheet of galley proof was read, a thousand and one details received the attention of an alert and enthusiastic staff. Even all this would have been in vain had it not been for the co-operation and assistance of those who gave financial help, as well as those whose contributing roles are acknowledged on page 84 of this book, WALTER F.

The stated purpose of the organization is to build a fellowship of women and girls devoted to the task of realizing those ideals of personal and social living to which they are committed by their faith as Christians. January was the month of the Sweethearts' Ball to which the Y-Teens invited the members of the Hi-Y. Each year the Club selects representatives to attend the Tri-State Conference at Bethany College where they receive leadership training in club work. Donna Bloom was the Club's president, Eileen Mickel, vice president, Nancy Feightner, secretary, Rosalie Charney, treasurer, and Barbara Fisher, chaplain. Miss Martha Schwing was the adviser.

JUNIOR Y-TEENS Membership in the Junior Y-Teens is limited to the Freshman girls. Like its elder sister organiza- tion, it is also a branch of the YWCA. The Junior Group works with the Senior Y-Teens in various undertakings, and its members are also eligible to represent the Richland Unit at the Tri-State Conference which is held at Bethany College each summer. Among the Club's specialities were coke dances which were held for the Senior Y-Teens. Adviser Miss Nettie Jean Russell was aided by Sandra Luther as president, Carol Knipple as vice president, while Barbara Davis and Joy Matthews filled the secretarial and treasury posts, JUNIOR Y-TEENS UPPER PHOTO, TOP ROW-Shaw, Knep- per, Hockensmith, Stafford, Klaum, Harvey, MIDDLE ROW-Luther, Easly, Gennett, Koontz, Matthews, Hostetler, Moehler, BOT- TOM ROW-Miller, Boysza, Hunt, Reed, Martin, Krise.

GIRLS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION Greater interest in girls' athletics was the motive which prompted the forma- tion of the Girls' Athletic Association. Membership in the Association is merited through the accumulation of points by participation in sports' events. A new admendment was added to the Association's constitution this year which should do much toward maintaining a lively school spirit. It provides for members or prospective members to acquire two points for attending any major varsity sports' event. Through the co-operative efforts of the G.A.A. and its male counterpart, the Varsity R , the Sock Hop was held. It is at this event that the King and Queen of Sports are honored, and the affair has become a red letter day on the school's social calender. Mrs. Mary Wissler, girls' physical educa- tion instructor, is adviser to the G.A.A. HIGH-Y VARSITY R THE HI-Y CLUB Though not primarily a club for the promotion of athletics, the Hi-Y gave considerable attention to basketball. The Club formed a team to compete with other Hi-Y organizations, but the results of games played were not available prior to our going to press. Albert Smith held the adviser's post, .lohn Grimaldi held the presidency, Karl Niederlander, the vice presidency, and Fred Karchnak filled the dual oFfice of secretary-treasurer. The Hi-Y was a co-sponsoring group of the Sweethearts' Ball, having shared this distinction with the Y-Teens. THE VARSITY R CLUB To be counted as one of the Varsity R Club, one must be a holder of one or more letters earned in varsity sports' competition. The Club was fortunate in having co- Advisers Charles Puckey and Nick Campitelli. Activities' periods were devoted to tumbling, viewing sports' movies, and playing basketball. The Sock Hop, which is one of the more important events on the school's social calender, is co-spon- sored by the Varsity R and the Girls' Athletic Association. It is at this dance that the King and Queen of Soorts are crowned. Unfortunate- ly, the event is held too late in the year to receive full coverage here.

JUNIOR DRAMATICS CLUB Interest in dramatics drew such a large number of candidates for club membership that a Junior Dramatics Club was formed. Mrs, Katharyn O'Connor was the adviser. Serving as president and vice president were Myrna Felix and Diana Wagner. Pat Hillegas was secretary, and Jo Ellen Bowers was treasurer. The Club did a puppet show and three one act plays. Another play was presented for the PTA with Myrna Felix and Pat Hillegas in the lead roles. ln addition to providing opportunities to speak before audiences, the group was taught something of the arts of stage lighting, scenery, and makeup. THE NATIONAL THESPIAN SOCIETY Privileged to become a member troupe of the National Thespian Society was an honor accorded the Dramatics Club of our high school. Troupe Number T078 was officially established at Richland in February of this year. The eight charter members were inducted into the new organization by High School Principal Carl Lundquist The Thespian Society, which is the successor to the Dramatics Club, is fortunate in having Mrs. Nora Covode and Miss Beverly Riddell as its advisers. Mrs. Katharyn O'Connor rendered valuable assistance in the organization proceedings of the troupe. The Thespians presented two one-act comedies, Shock of His Life, and Who Gets The Car Tonight? They also participated in the Variety Show and in assembly programs. On April 2, the group spent the day at the Eighth Regional Dramatic Arts Conference of Western Pennsylvania, which was held at Green- ville, Pennsylvania. The climax of the year was an initiation ceremony for 21 new members.

Confining its activities to crocheting edgings on hankies and doilies, the ten members of the Crocheting Club were true to its name. The seventh grade girls who comprised the Club were under the supervision of Miss Leora Hoffman. There was marked improvement in the work of these girls as the year advanced. Many of the members look forward to next year when they plan to undertake larger and more difficult proiects. THE LIBRARIANS Unlike most of the groups in this section, the Librarians do not hold regular meetings. Their reason for existence is to assist in the library, checking books in and out and helping to keep books and periodicals in order. The members devote from three to five periods a week to this work, and each member who is faithful to his task receives a pin as an award. THE BOOKBINDERS Top priority in the Bookbinding Department goes to library books. However, the Bookbinders do considerable text book repair. Faculty Librarian Lois Kindelberger has charge of both the Library Assistants and the Bookbinders. The two groups laid their work aside long enough to go on a picnic the latter part of May.

Assuming its rightful place among the most important extra-curricular activities of our school is the Band. lt deserves high ranking, both because of the large number of participants and the many school and community functions in which it shares. With uniforms that still reflect their newness, the Band is always on hand to entertain during the half time interlude at football games and is also among the more reliable units in local and district parades. Numbered among its more important annual engagements are its role at the Cambria County Fair and the Spring Music Festival... The Band is also called upon to supply the musical background for numerous school events. The Maiorettes drew much favorable comment by their clever routines and M B their well-executed drills.

The Girls' Ensemble will move on to the district competi- tion at Huntingdon, Pennsylvania. Both these groups were in demand to supply entertainment for local civic and service groups.

This discovery was made by examining the membership list of the Bache- lors' Club. All members came from Junior High. Presiding over the club was Robert Burkhart, and his assistants were Vice President Ronald Custer, Secretary Larry Adams, and Treasurer John Marhefka. Among their projects were cooking and learning table etiquette. Mrs. Ruth Brewer was their adviser. At times the members failed To display genuine bachelor-like qualities since there were occasions when they would sneak up the hall to visit the Y-Teens. 67-3 SEATED-Berkstresser, Alwine, Bukovec, Custer.

Miss Sue Green, who has had considerable experience in safety work and patrol supervision, was the adviser. Albert Christ and Wilma Livingston served as presi- dent and secretary-treasurer respectively. The demands placed on the Patrol has changed drastically in Richland Township since the erection of the new school, and the members of the Patrol have kept pace with the chang- ing times. Their diligence and devotion to duty was rewarded with a Hallowe'en party and a banquet given by the PTA. It was also their privilege to be guests at a hockey game.

The Student Council is composed of a member and an alternate from each home room. Both members and alternates attend all meetings. Miss Ellen Kaultman is the faculty adviser. Three members of the Council, accompanied by Miss Kauffman, attended the Annual Pennsylvania Student Council Convention at Abington, Pennsyl- vania, last fall. Florence Livingston, Thomas Hancock, and Glenn Keiper represented Richland, and they brought back both interesting and infor- mative reports from the convention.

An eighth game with Adams was canceled. The Rams opened the season against Ferndale, and left the field at the end of the game at the short end of the 40-I2 score. The following three games with Westmont Portage and Boswell all went the wrong way RHS permitted 79 points to pass their goal line in the next two contests with Shade and Somerset, saving everything for a do- or-die battle with Berlin. We died, 6-O. A Berlin lineman pounced on a Ram fumble in the RHS end zone for the game's only six-pointer. But all is not gloom in the Rams' locker room. The Richland spirit is not dead, and, if we might borrow the saying of the Brooklyn Dodgers, Just wait 'til next year. I Seven Seniors and one Junior finished their football days for Richland with the final gun of the Berlin game. In this number are Pete Saba, Ron Kermin Ron Keyser Frank Rodda Ron Smith Stan Kronen Foster Allen and Merle Zimmerman.

He will be ineligible for grid play next season. Zimmy was the Rams' hard- charging fullback and through fine offensive and defensive play earned the coveted R . STANLEY KRONEN Smiley was another Ram letterwinner.

Stan is noted for his industry both on and off the field. FOSTER ALLEN Foster was an end in his first year of play. Allen was a loyal Richlander, and a hard worker. He saw most of his action during the latter part of the season. , Keyser Zimmerman Kronen Allen MANAGERS s FRANK RODDA Frank held down a first string end berth, and through fine play earned his letter. His gangly, lithe frame aided him in grabbing Ron Smith's passes. Frank was mentioned for the Tribune- Democrat All-Scholastic Team. RONALD KERMIN Ron was another letter winner on the RHS squad. Kermin handled a guard spot on the Richland Eleven. A tough, burly boy, he was a strong point on the Ram forward wall. PETER SABA Pete was another diligent RHS footballer. He earned his second letter this year at guard position. Through his hard work and team loyalty, Pete was a consistent first-stringer. RONALD SMITH Ron was one of the smallest boys on the starting team. He received his letter through fine quarter- backing. This year Smitty finished out three years as varsity quarterback. He will be remembered at Richland for his fancy passing. Rodda Kermin MANAGERS - THE MINUTE MEN OF SPO STANDING-Kelly, Hamilton, Decker, Mr, Hazik, St rt FOREGROUND-Stinebiser. Saba Smith nv if Q A.

The Junior Rams finished the season with a 'I6-6 card, We5 0 ' 39 37 II-'I in league play. Coach Nick Campitelli had only one regular back from 'Nanty-Glo 49 38 'West Central League last year's squad, but through long practice and hard work he gradually molded his boys into a smooth-working unit. The Jayvees didn't begin like the champs they turned out to be later, for they dropped five of their first seven games. But the prelims caught fire and finished up the other fifteen with only one loss, and that to Portage, West Central's second-placers. During this stretch, the Junior Rams overran three opponents that had beaten them earlier, namely, Westmont, Ferndale, and Shade. The boys chalked up a record for the school when they skyrocketed 72-26 over Nanty-Glo. While the Varsity and Jayvee Teams were in the limelight, the Junior High also added some shine to the trophy case by contributing to the collection. The Junior High topped all opponents and turned out to be the only team to boast an undefeated season, and brought home the Conemaugh Valley Junior High trophy. Coach Nick Campitelli's five ran roughshod over its five league opponents and added to the string of wins by double victories over United Joint and Shade Township, both non-league opponents. Only one member from the regular starters will be back next year. He is George Marsh, the Little Rams' playmaker. Brook Levengood paced his team in scoring as the little men set a new per game average for the Junior High. TOP ROW-Rodda, Matcho, R. Campbell, Instane, Levengood, McQuaide.
