With A Scientific Gutlook Perhaps to the uninitiated, the most fascinating rooms in the hi h h l g sc oo are those of the science department. Students ot senior science chemis- try, physics, and biology are instructed by the Professors Taggart, Rice, Serene, and Benkert. The purpose of the senior science course is not to make an extensive study of any one scienceg instead it is to give th d ' ' ' e stu ent a general knowledge of all practical science. New equip- ment has enabled the students of the chemistry laboratory to perform individual experiments this year. A six-foot model slide rule the lar est 1 8 rule of its kind in Western Pennsylvania, is a recent addition to the al- ready well-equipped physics laboratory. The biology department has at its disposal one of the largest and most modernly-equipped rooms to be found anywhere. Experiments have been conducted showin l nt g P 3 development under ideal and under poor conditions. The students have l a so made miniature plant gardens, the best of which are in the sunny bay window. An armadillo, several moles, a raccoon, and many fish have made their homes in the biology laboratory. F I7

Although puzzled . . . We look ahead THE SENIOR STORY Three long years ago the Senior Class, excited, triumphant, and green-as-grass, entered the senior high as insignificant Sophomores. It was the old senior high building, and the Slopmores, as they were affectionately named, were sent on many wild goose chases before be- coming acquainted with the mysteries of the building. The oliicers for the year for the first term were Michael Kraynyk, Robert Boyd, and Dorothy Moore: and for the second term Agnes McCallister, Gilda Stefanacci, and Donald Irons. During the course of the year, this am- bitious class participated in many worthwhile activities, such as the Silhouette, Madrigal, Debate, and Patrol. As the months fiew by, the Sophs acquired a modicum of dignity and respect, and looked forward to the day when they would have-a Junior-Senior Prom! juniors! Halfway up the high-school ladder. More respect from those lowly Sophs',! More activities with the Seniors! The year started off with a bang. The class elected Michael Kraynyk, Alex Kozel, and Don- ald Irons class officers. The change in seasons brought with it football and basketballg the all-school play, Twelfth Night, had many Juniors in starring rolesg aspiring debaters clamored for recognition: the en- semble chorus, the competing art groups, and girls' and boys' sports were filled with a goodly array of up-'n'-comin ' Juniors. And lastly, Seniors. Oh hallowed, revered name! We, the class of 40 -and such like sayin's. As Seniors we paraded, proudly leading the student body after football victories, and as Seniors some of us walked down that golden pathway to opportunity in the installation services of the National Honor Society. Between these two extremes, our Seniors filled many important offices, and participated in many activities. Our leaders for the year were Nick Hlesta, Alex Kozel, and Dennis Carroll. Our debaters placed high in their contests. Our football team became County Champsu, and was runner-up in the W.P.I.A.L. elimination. Losing only one game, our basketball team won Section III of the W.P.I.A.L., the highest honors ever attained in that section. Prominent seniors took part in the all-school play, June Mad, the Minstrel, and the Yale-Princeton game. So at the close of three years, with mingled happiness and heartache, we can say only: Let's go, Seniors! The world is waiting for us! 19 President - Nick I-llesta Vice-Pres- - Alex Kozel Secretary - Dennis Carroll X
