1976 U - Annual Union High School Bicentennial Edition Volume XXXVI To commemorate the Bicentennial Year, we begin the story of 76 with the most integral part of our school system - The Community. The purpose of a school is to serve the community. In turn the community supports the school. Without this intimate relationship. Union High School would not exist. Burgettstown Community Library founded in 1936 acquires a new image with the recently completed addition.

However progress did not bypass the area. During the Civil War, farmers discovered oil on their land. Eventually immigrants settled here to seek employment and a home. For instance, a group of employees who worked for R. G. Gillespie, a noted oil king, built homes in a small cluster and called their village Gillespie City. To- day the general vicinity is Atlasburg. Many other towns of the area developed as a result of the oil industry. Oil remnants of the past still stand in the Racoon area An oil derrick not only provides an architectural design but an artistic photograph. An oil derrick is not an uncommon sight in the Burgettstown Area The four-sided steel tower provided a source of income for many residents. Even oil doesn't last forever, so eventually the wells ran dry leaving drilling crews unemployed. This did not lead to the downfall of industrial development since there still was another resource present. Progress replaces the oil derrick with the grasshopper' which still pumps oil in Langeloth 4 Coal Center of the World The greatest asset to the area was the dis- covery of a rich coal vein which triggered the in- dustrialization of the area. From the early 1800's to early 1900 s mining towns sprang up and flourished. Largest Mines in the Area were: Bulger Mine Francis Mine 1903 Cherry Valley Mine 1906-1910 Atlasburg Mine 191 Petnccas Strip Mine in the Cherry Valley area shows how modern equipment has improved mining methods Remnant of a coal tipple in Raccoon where coal was loaded sized, and crushed By 1917, the agricultural community became the leading Bituminous Coal Center of the World. Coal was the primary influence in the growth of the area. In a sense coal led to bigger and better things. “I Owe My Soul to the Company Store” As the mining industry expanded, various mining companies had to provide housing for their employees. Therefore, a mining company would provide farmland in the area for this purpose. The land was plotted and company houses were built in long rows. Each home resembled the next, with the same general structure be- ing used for all homes. In the vicinity of the company houses there also was a company store where miners bought anything from soup to nuts. A popular song during the coal mining days entitled “I Owe My Soul to the Company Store reflected the days of depression. Remnants ot a company store still stand in Langeioth and Atlasburg. Seventy-six percent of the homes in the district were constructed prior to 1939. 6 Company Houses Then and Now-Many houses are remodeled but they still have the same general structure Industrial Development Continues Coal mining, although the largest in- dustry, was not the only source of income for the area. Other industries included meat packing, dairy products, machine shops, grain mills, and saw mills. The establishment of the American Zinc and Chemical Plant in Langeloth in 1912 provided a population increase. Com- pany houses became larger and more complex and other businesses were in- troduced. Following the closing of the American Chemical and Zinc Plant, AMAX built the Climax Molybdenum Company. Today this is the one major industry which keeps the area thriving. Sutherland Sawmill 7 Molybdenum Conversion-a backyard industry. Railroads In 1865 when the Pittsburgh and Steubenville Railroad was built north of Burgettstown. the public accepted the transportational advancement with open arms. The railroad was a great asset to the mining industry because coal could be shipped to outside markets. The railroad was also responsible for increasing pop- ulation by bringing in immigrants. Throughout the years, as mining became less important, the railroad's use dwindled. Today when the whistle blows and a train goes by it is usually hauling freight of some kind. Now the railroad seems to be coming into the picture once again and the passenger train may be available soon. Then and Now With the railroad and related industries, Burgettstown also developed a business district. This area centered around Main Street. Although not very elaborate, the buildings which were erected served their purposes. Businesses varied from grocery to clothing stores, bakeries to ice-cream parlors, and hardware to fur- niture establishments. The Smith Hotel, located on the corner opposite the bank, provided accommodations for weary travelers. In Burgettstown A horse and buggy double parked along Mam Street was a On the corner of Mam Street the old National Bank stands proudly as it serves many pur- common sight to shoppers browsing around the town. poses Someone taking a daily route through Burgettstown might not notice the old National Bank building, established in 1890. which still stands on the corner of Main Street. However, to a woman shopper or someone in need of legal assistance, this building may be a familiar site, visited fre- quently. 11 Recreation to the residents of Burgettstown might have been hunting in the woods, working on the farm, spending a night at the movie theater in Atlasburg or loafing one afternoon at Wilson's Livery Stable. Social Event of the Year Burgettstown Fair, the major social event of the town, was est- balished for farmers to display farm products and livestock, however, entertainment soon became a part with various competitive events. Farmers display talents on horses Community Park Offers Recreation During warm weather gym students test their skills at a mov- ing game of basketball or a tiresome game of tennis. However, students without athletic ability may decide to express themselves in a work of art. These types of recreation offer the students a chance to escape the monotony of everyday classroom work. Revolution Then and Now The American Revolution initiated progress as colonists united under a democratic government to build a great nation. Here at Burgettstown we also ex- perience progress through changes in the school and community. Although we sometimes resist these changes, our goal is to form a more perfect UNION. meus Historical figures stand out in our history books, famous quotes echo in our ears, but the morals and leadership of the colonists of 1776 leave the greatest im- pact on our minds. Throughout our coun- try's lifetime, changes concerning citizen's rights have continuously oc- curred. The Declaration of Independence proclaimed liberty to the thirteen colonies, the Emancipation Proclamation proclaimed liberty to the Negro slave and the Nineteenth Amendment proclaimed liberty to today's female. Revolution is as effective as one makes it. It may take a violent war or a constructive demonstra- tion; however, it may occur naturally in the mind of an individual, you... 18 19 20 As we view our community we witness im- provements in industry, transportation and business. Who would imagine that the simple machines of the In- dustrial Revolution would result in the improvised, ef- ficient machines of today? What was once a nearly va- cant lot in Burgettstown has become a four-lane highway open to modern motor vehicles, representing quite a step from the horse and buggy and Ford's Model-T. Numerous school buses replace a student's feet as a means of transportation and bring students at Union closer to the school environment. r The first ten amendments to the U S. Constitution, the Bill of Rights, recognize certain freedoms of the American citizen Similarly, the Student Bill of Rights recognizes certain freedoms of you, the student, and hopes to provide a more democratic school system. . Opposition to racial discrimination resulted in the granting of Negro rights. Today, sex discrimination remains the main concern of the female sex with the Nineteenth Amendment being the foun- dation upon which women began to build. 23 A school day at Union is never quite the same as the one before it. With each day comes a new experience, a new face, or a new oppor- tunity. Students discover that they may broaden their horizons by utiliz- ing the knowledge gained through these numerous changes. However, even with this ever-changing system, students may revert to a daily routine. With all of these changes around us, it is almost im- possible to go through life without being affected in some way. Some of these changes bring a feeling of enjoyment while others bring a look of disgust. Like the beauty of nature, these feelings we express each day, in our hearts or Openly, never change, but are hidden within the smile of happiness, the tear of sadness and the look of love. X ► I Homecoming 75 The annual Homecoming was held September 20, 1975 beginning with a parade through Burgettstown. Par- ticipating in the parade were bands from Burgettstown, Avonworth, and Fort Cherry, and special alumni guests, the ‘Class of 26'.

He also has to make many decisions concerning which courses he will take, which extracurricular ac- tivities he will pursue, and which sports he will participate in. While he is making these decisions, he is spending most of his seventh grade year in activities that revolve around the classroom.

During a visitation in senior P.O.D. and sophomore health classes, the nurse left no ques- tion unanswered. In fact, she hit upon every aspect of the subject and concerned herself with the problems brought up by the students.

The program is available to 10th, 11th and 12th grade students. One-half day is dedicated to academic subjects that can be used in everyday situations. Vocational English, math, history, science, and vocational guidance are presented. The second half of the day is used for on- the-job training. Each student is given several experiences with various jobs before graduation. For the student to be placed in this program, he must meet several qualifications, including interest in this type of program. Work Study - ROW 1. B. Stanley, T. Kokoskle. D. Collins. B. Englert. R.

The first half of their day consists of learning the same vocational subjects as those students who participate in the Work Study Program. However, the second half of the day is devoted to construction training. This differs from the Work Study Program in that it offers the student oppor- tunities to learn the basic skills in carpentry, elec- tricity. masonry, plastering, etc. The criteria for the student placement into this program is the same used for the Work Study Program.

The French Club began its year of activities by building a float for the Annual Homecoming Parade, entitled “Betsy Ross. Because of their hard work, it received first prize. To raise money, they sponsored a special Halloween dance on October 31, 1975 in the cafeteria. They also sold candy to help raise money for their annual field trip to Quebec. Canada.

The rain dampened the grave cleaning, but the pic- nic was still held at Raccoon State Park. The Burgett graves were cleaned a week later and it took a full two days of work to clean them up. Burgett’s grave now has red, white, and blue flowers on it, and the grave itself is now visible from the road. To celebrate the Fourth of July, the Historians painted the Welcome to Burgettstown sign on the south end of Burgettstown red, white and blue. Also during the summer, various members of the Historians participated in a Clean-up Burgettstown project. This project included sweeping the streets and sidewalks, pick- ing up all of the garbage in Burgettstown, and decorating the fire hydrants. A tree plan- ting project was initiated to plant trees along the newly constructed Burgettstown by- pass. An old-fashioned candle dipping night was held and was enjoyed by all. The Annual Variety Show and a possible field trip to a convention in Philadelphia ended the year for the busy Junior Historians. TOP PHOTO: Junior Historians- ROW 1. M. Cain, D. Barr, R. Valenti, F.

The money raised will be used for the club's main activity - attending live plays. Due to the lack of male members in the club and also the lack of proper stage equipment, the club is unable to produce plays here at the school. PHOTO: ROW 1. D. Chilensky, J. Shaw, J. Slopek, N.

During the summer months, members attended numerous meetings to discuss ideas for the 1975-76 school year. The Senior High officers attended the Grove City College Workshop and Junior High members Lisa Raggi and Susie Martin attended a workshop at Shippensburg to aquaint themselves with new ideas. In September, the group discussed plans for the Homecoming celebration and began work on their float. Many activities were sponsored by the Student Council throughout the year including the Donkey Basketball game in November, and a very successful fund raising drive for Children’s Hospital which netted over $3600. Each month, members attended the Intermediate Unit Meetings (Student Forum) of which Janice Louder and Gary Ozenbaugh are representatives. The Student Council sponsored many assemblies throughout the year for the enjoyment of the entire student body. In concluding another successful year, members look forward to their planned trip to Washington, D.C. to celebrate the Bicenten- nial. TOP PHOTO-Senior High Student Council-ROW 1. J. Howard. T.

For initiations, the boys were given a list of items they were to wear during the three day period. The first day they had to wear their clothes inside out and carry a bucket and baby doll. The second day, they were required to wear dresses, panty hose, make-up and carry a purse. For the third and final day, they had to wear their clothes inside-out and backwards and slick back their hair. Of course, the boys had to obey com- mands from their club brothers. These commands ranged from singing “Jingle Bells” to proposing marriage to various girls in the halls. TOP PHOTO-Varsity ‘ B’ -ROW 1. B. Triebsch. J. Comis. T. Bertrand. G. Sergakis. ROW 2 R.

The team, though sporting a 1-9 record, was in contention throughout every game except two, those against Fort Cherry and Quaker Valley. The Big Blue Machine”, at times, purred along with brilliant success . . . other times, however, it sputtered with failure. It was a year marred by inconsistencies . . . This was a mark of an inexperienced young team ... a team heavily membered by un- derclassmen. The potential of the team is limitless, and with a little luck the team could bring the con- ference championship back to Burgettstown in 1976.

They practiced diligently and at various points; they even had early morning practice sessions beginning at 6 a.m. and lasting until the first period began in the morning at 8 a.m. Due to their fine efforts, they posted an overall record of 14-8 and a 12-4 mark in Section 12-AA. The boards were pounded by returning Senior lettermen Bob Triebsch, Mike Kowalski, and John Tunno. Returning from last year’s J.V. team that posted an 11-3 section mark, were Bryan Pavan, Dave Pusateri and Joe Galentine. Also, Rick Englert, a junior first year varsity man, hit the boards. Unfortunately, five seniors will be lost to graduation, so next year’s squad will have to rely on the performances of the underclassmen. TOP PHOTO-Varsity Basketball Squad-KNEELING. Coach Mahoney.

With more public and student support, the girls managed victories over rival Fort Cherry. Returning letterpersons to the Devils were senior Lorraine Lillard. junior Ann Roberts, and sophomores Norma Alrutz, Terry Jenkins, Cindy Truax, Jan Cassidy, and Bernie Cherenko, the team's leading scorer. Junior Audrey Harris also returned to the Devils but was forced to retire due to injury. Also providing for the Devil’s strength were first year starters, senior Diane Zalaznik and junior Vicki Cummins. Also, a new school record for points scored in a girl's game was set by Amy Miller, varsity starter, with 26 points. Coached by Jean Newman, the girls hope to improve with the coming of the 1976-77 season. TOP LEFT-Coach Jean Newman. TOP RIGHT-Varsity Girls Basketball-ROW 1. Coach Newman. ROW 2. T. Jenkins, V.

Inex- perience and injuries contributed to the disappointing season. With only 4 seniors, one of whom wrestled for oniy one year in Burgettstown. the team had to place heavy burdens on its underclassmen. Injuries were also a downfall to the squad. Sophomore Buddy Bertrand, first year Varsity starter at 145, was slammed at the Moon Township match and did not finish the season. Junior Mike Pappas and sophomore Gary Havelka, both at 119, suffered neck injuries, but were able to return at the end of the season. Because of these injuries to the Varsity grapplers, the J.V. team members were soon wrestling Varsity. However, as hard as they tried, it was not hard enough. It should be pointed out, however, that most of the losses were with much larger schools. In spite of their record, outstanding individual records were held by seniors Tom Bertrand, 185, and Jon Comis at heavyweight. TOP PHOTO-Varsity Wrestlers- ROW 1. J. Bennett. G. Seraakis, M.

Mr. McGraw resigned from coaching during the 76 season. His role in coaching baseball for the past fifteen years was a major one and he will certainly be missed.

On the sympathetic side, some will say, They tried their best. It's better than nothing, or It makes a terrific doorstop! But none of this really matters now that our job is finished. To us, the 1976 yearbook will bring back many memories, some fond, others not too fond, which are next to impossible to put into copy or pictures on a layout. One thing we won t forget is all the work that was in- volved You're probably thinking-“What do they mean, WORK? What is so hard about making a yearbook? I thought it was supposed to be fun. Well, you're right, it is SUPPOSED to be fun, but sometimes it isn t. For ex- ample, when three people do sixty pages of labor during one weekend, staying awake to all hours of the night, the fun soon disappears. When staff members don't cooperate and when students criticize the product before it's even finished, the fun fades away. But because of all of our time and effort, we feel we have accomplished something, no matter how small it may seem to others. Truthfully, it hasn't been a total waste. We would like to express our appreciation to all those who helped us compile the 76 yearbook especially Mrs. Janice Ostop, who did more than just advise us. Also, to our photographer Mr. Rick Couch, who fulfilled our every command, we express our gratitude. And finally to our patrons, businesses, families, and friends who contributed even in the smallest way we say THANK YOU! This letter hasn't been too profound, nor is it supposed to be; we simply wanted to inform you about the action behind the making of this book. Sincerely, The Editors Teresa, Pam and Rosemary 270 VS ll °K HiaoMsnvM m — m WAISWORTH Matrrltnr M Ljk -
