Ex Libris { { FOREWORD This is the first yearbook Arnold High School has produced for many years. Its completion has involved the cooperation, coordination, and intelligent efforts of the entire administration, faculty, and classes. All were indispensable. Now that our yearbook is off the presses we have begun to realize that it is not an end in itself, but a means to an end — a means to greater and finer attainment in the classrooms, mills, offices, and homes of the future. DEDICATED To the fond memory of those who died that we might continue in our American Way of Life RS “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” John 15:13 ALMA MATER bFFFE i = � Ts i Vanee HT ‘@ Left to right—A.

Scaries, secretary (on leave of absence) ; Mr. Pete Juliano, acting secre- tary; Mr. Louis C. Springer, treasurer; Mr. Andrew Romito, solicitor; Mrs. Rose Baiger; Mr. Anthony P. Bianco; Mr. Geno Bussotti; Mr. Anthony Pituch; Mr. S. A. Martin served while Mr. Juliano was on military leave. The members of the school board meet to decide the many questions that arise in the operation of a public school system. They must plan for months, sometimes years ahead to insure an efficient and well-balanced educational program. It is their responsibility to supervise the welfare and all activities of all the pupils. They are the school’s most ardent fans at athletic contests and enjoy the plays and other programs presented throughout the year. They have a serious and important work to do in shaping the future of our children; and they do that work well. Hea HOLSTE Superintendent of Schools Congratulations to the Class of 1946: You have graduated in the first year of peace following a great world war. Youth has been tried as never before and found equal to every demand of war, on the sea and land and in the air. The years ahead will call for self-sacrifice and idealism for the sublimation of self if we are to attain the highest things of life. If the ideals for which we fought are to become real and lasting you who are graduating must assume your share of re- sponsibility in the post-war world. A great era is beginning. 1 wish you all good luck and may you be worthy sons and daughters of Arnold High School. H. L. HOLSTE, Superintendent of Schools TRATION H. D. BERKEY H. H.

RICCI JUNIORS “Buy a magazine and put me through high school!” ‘This was the popular saying of the junior class when they were in ninth grade. “When are we going to do something?” they queried all through their sophomore year. The Sophomore Fiesta was the gala occasion. Peanuts! Lions! Pennants! Tickets! the battle ery of the junior class this year. The ultimate objective: the annual junior-senior prom. A familiar scene at Friday evening football games — fair or stormy weather — Juniors climbing over bleachers with boxes, bags, or baskets of — ? You guessed it. Peanuts! A few highlights of the year 1945-46 were the Theater Party, the George Washington Birthday Dance, the class play, “You Said It,” and the junior- senior prom. The George Washington Birthday Dance was held in the gaily decorated gym. Crowned King and Queen of Hearts by Martha Washington, portrayed by Dolores Zuber, were Buddy Hanna and Dolores Ponsart. The Virginia Reel was a novelty of the evening. The Junior-Senior Prom was held at the Crystal Ball Room of the Hotel Schenley. Tireless effort exerted in the various selling schemes throughout the year proved well worth while, for everyone had an enjoyable evening dancing to the rhythmic melodies of Brad Hunt and his orchestra, To represent the juniors, the following were chosen officers: President A Buddy Hanna Vice President . Robert Coury Secretary Mary Alice Hunger ‘Treasurer Raymond Ricci Advisers Miss Cribbs, Miss Zorena The class motto: “Climb, Though the Rocks Be Rugged.” The class flower: Laurel. The class colors: Green and Gold. 30 JUNIORS First row, left to right—P. Provenzano, D. Cagna, D. Echon, M. Mele, M. A. Hunger, A. Valigursky, D. Key, R. Roland, D. Ponsart, L. Davis, B. J. Parks, E.

DeSIMONE SOPHOMORES Our senior high school careers started as the school bell rang on the morning of September 3, 1945. At that time, there were one hundred and fifty- six potential juniors enrolled in our class; however, in strength of character and of mentality we are stronger than in mere numbers. When football season opened, seven sophomores were listed on the varsity squad. One representative of the sophomore class played on the basketball varsity; many others held positions with the Junior Varsity. Holidays during the year brought the customary parties and festivities; and with the first signs of spring we began making plans for our most important activity of the year, the Sophomore Dance. ‘This dance, a gay affair, launched a long campaign to raise the necessary funds for the Junior-Senior Prom of 1947, which will be treated at length in next year’s Arlion. The sophomore class was under the leadership of the following officers and advisers: President John Biss Vice President . Edward Sharick Secretary Geraldine Kuster ‘Treasurer Marilyn DeSimone Advisers Miss Margaret Morrison, Mr. Paul Rosati @ Class flower: American Beauty Rose Class colors: Green and White. Class motto: “Always forward, never backward.” 34 SOPHOMORES First row, left to right—D. Wissinger, R. Holes, J. Stennett, G. Petri, C. Sukala, D. Barr, J. Rayburg, M. Rusnock, L. Haser, G.

BAND The high school band, symbolizing school spirit, is an indispensable organization of every high school. School activities would certainly be mono- tonous if it were not for the stirring music of our band. The high school band has provided entertainment at all the football games, both before the game and at the half. These performances in the band’s colorful orange and blue uniforms were enjoyed immensely by the spectators. Vhe Arnold High School Band has also played for the home basketball games and has participated in numerous parades held in this district. The band rehearses four times weekly and plays for high school assemblies and pep meetings. Every year, our band presents a spring concert which is always well attended, This year, our band was chosen to play for the Allegheny Valley Safety Council meeting in New Kensington, A notable event in which a group of our band members were chosen to participate was the Westmorcland County Band Festival, held in Greensburg, Pennsylvania.

Their brisk steps and routines created quite a sensation, Rain or shine, the majorettes’ demonstrations were a part olf every lootball game. Chartered buses provided transportation to games at Ford City and “Varentum. Phe girls practiced arduously on the athletic field many afternoons during activity periods. Much of their success must be credited to the capable direction ol Mr. Glenn Davis and their leader, Betty Jane Crider.

As a fitting climax for a successful season, they attended the annual cheer- leader’s party at Tarentum High School. The party in honor of them all, was attended by the cheerleaders in this vicinity. 44 NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY The outstanding scholastic honor in Arnold High School is membership in the National Honor Society. This erganization has been in existence since May 14, 1927, when Arnold received its charter from the National Council. Members in this group are chosen by the faculty on the basis of character, service, and leadership. This year twelve seniors and three juniors were elected. The purposes of this honorary seciety are the developing of well-balanced personalities, the desire for growth of higher ideals, and the training of young people within their influence. D.

Throughout the years of service the J.C.C, has done much to improve the commercial department through supplying additional equipment for student ase. The organization has been awarding 40, 50, and 60 word typing pins to pupils achieving those levels. Thus a keen competition has been developed in the field of typing. A medal of honor is awarded to the senior member having the highest scholastic record at graduation. The meetings are held once a week. Business is discussed, and programs are presented. These programs consist of skits and plays based on personality, manners, and social and business interests.

Fleeger, Baseball Coach; N. A. Ventura, Equipment Custodian; A. Tannas, Football Coach Athletic Staff From the last weeks of August, all through September, October and into November, Coach Tannas worked unceasingly in his efforts to put on the field every week a football team prepared to hand out and receive severe punishment. Coach McGuire assisted him then; and Coach Tannas assisted Mr. McGuire when in late November basketball season rolled around and Coach McGuire began placing five good men on the hardwood who knew their plays and knew how to execute them. Then again this spring, as he does every spring, Coach Fleeger began converting his boys into a baseball team. Many points driven home by the Coach will no doubt be of value to these fellows in any walk of life. Equipment is a big issue; and to Mr. Pallone and Mr. Ventura belongs mainly the credit of having the best in equipment. ‘To Mr. Pallone goes the credit for having games scheduled, officials hired and tickets sold. Upon the shoulders of these men falls the responsibility for a successful year round athletic program. The greatest reward these men can ask is not necessarily a victorious season, but rather, the satisfaction of seeing a job well done and of seeing boys become men physically as well as mentally. 54 Football The Arnold High School football squad tutored by the coach, Mr. Alex Tannas, and assistant coach, Mr. L. F . McGuire, began its season early by opening its training at Etna Springs Park, two miles from Slippery Rock, Penn- sylvania. The Lions launched their 1945 campaign by playing host to the blue- and-white-clad gridders of Leechburg High. The bee was played under the lights at the Leslie Memorial Stadium on September 7. W esley Johnston scored Arnold's first touchdown of the season. The score at nie end of the first half was Arnold 6, Leechburg 6. In the final quarter Arnold changed the tide with Louis Sukala scoring, and the game ended with Arnold taking their first, 12 to 6. The Orange and Blue ran wild in their next encounter by drubbing Rankin to the tune of 32 to 12. Wes Johnston and Jack Biss played bang-up ball for the Lions, with each tallying twice. Peter Cropcho also came through by snagging a pass to tally. First row, left to right—R. Predebon, R. Baginski, R. Romito, G. Fisher, J. Kuba, H. Schultz, G. Kowalyk P. Cropcho. Second row—J.

In the waning seconds of a hard fought contest ‘“Tate” Sukala intercepted ‘Tom Gryczyk’s pass on Arnold's 30 yard line and behind superb blocking dashed a full seventy yards for the lone tally of the game. Johnston was stopped at center on the attempted conversion point; and before the Scott- dale team could line up for their next play, the game ended. This 6-0 victory marked the Lions’ third straight win of the season. With a crowd of four thousand fans looking on, the Tarentum Red Cats surprised the Arnold High Lions by handing them their first setback of the season, 20-6. In the first period Wesley Johnston crossed the last stripe alone after a beautifully executed 66-yard sprint. Sypula scored for Tarentum, and Holliday converted to make the score 7-6 at half-time. Two bad passes from center set the stage for the final two touchdowns. The Tannasmen next invaded Dreshar stadium to trim East Deer in the last forty-five seconds of playing time. After an evenly matched contest Arnold wound up on their own 47-yard line; with the last seconds ticking away versatile “Wes” Johnston faded back and heaved a long pass to the 50-yard line where Peter Cropcho gathered up the pigskin and raced the remaining distance for the game’s only touchdown. Sukala drop-kicked the conversion to make the score Arnold 7, East Deer 0. The rough going started alter that, however, when a strong Springdale eleven dropped Arnold by defeating them, 34-6. Ray Predebon snagged a Johnston pass for the Orange and Blue's only tally. A strong Mars squad invaded the Leslie Memorial stadium to edge out the Lions by two conversion points — 14-12. Louis Sukala scored in the first period; and in the final quarter Johnston crashed his way through from the Mars 9-yard line. It was then that Mars staged a touchdown drive which defeated the Lionmen. On Saturday, October 27, the Arnold High Lions invaded Ford City only to bow to the Glassers, 16-6. The Lions failed to capitalize on scoring opportunities. The Lions were in the running until the final quarter, when the Glassers recorded their final touchdown. Going into the final period the Tannas crew trailed by only three points, 9-6. In their finale of the season, the Arnold High School gridmen were handed an unexpected setback by Plum Township. Arnold’s lone tally came in the last quarter when Sam Torchia scored on a center plunge. First downs lavored Arnold, 10-9. Arnold had seven downs to Plum’s one in the first half. Final score, Plum Township 18, Arnold 6. A summary shows that Arnold High School won four and lost five, scoring at least once in every contest. Wesley Johnston and Anthony Marsico served as co-captains. 56 : J. McKillop, Manager; R. Predebon, F. Peck, C. Jaraczynski, E. .

Aside from three severe lacings administered by West Deer, Ken High, and Har-Brack, the team showed improvement as the scason progressed. Several games could have been victories, with a few breaks here and there. The Lionmen dropped their first encounter to Har-Brack, 5-2. Next they traveled to West Deer, where they were trounced 23-0, They then lost to Free port, 8-7, and to Ken High, 1-0. In a ten-inning ray they were defeated by Tarentum, 6-5. Arnold was also dropped by Har-Brack, 21-6; West Deer, 7-5; Freeport, 6-1; and Ken High, 9-0. Five of the Lion regular players hit above .250. Milan Filcik, a hot corne: guardian, led the team’s batsmen with a 474 batting mark. Next on the list came John Kakuk, the Lion receiver, who hit a .364 mark. John Resetar vir- tually led Section X batters in clouting triples. Matthew Peconi, with cight hits in twenty-nine times at bat, made a .262 mark; and Wesley Johnston, with a 250 batting mark, came next in line. 60 CLASS PROPHECY It’s the spring of the year A.D. 1956, and our fancies have turned to the thoughts of travel. Our excursion, which will be under the direction of Milan Filcik, the noted chemical engineer, will originate from our old home town. We call the Peter Cropcho Travel Bureau to make arrangements for a trip to New York by plane. We are informed by the receptionist, a Miss Beverly Harris, of the Northeast Airlines (now under the management of the Messrs. Richard Kantorski and Albert Wicks), that space is available on a Gordon Francart- John Harrell built sky-cruiser piloted by David Tomkewitz and his co-pilot, John Valente. Upon our arrival at the airport via the Oryst Balaban Taxicab Service, we are greeted by Fred Galie, the president of the Arlion airport, and_ his attractive secretary, Lucille Galic. We have been informed that our plane is on the runway; so our baggage is put on the transport by a red-cap, none other than George Shaheen. Now we are soaring over the beautiful landscape of Pennsylvania. Sitting across from us is that alluring movie star, Elsie DeGregorio with her press agent, Enzo Sestini. Directly behind them we recognize Lt. Commander Albert Baxter and his aid, Ensign Richard Balog. After an hour in the stratosphere, the stewardess, Maxine Donati, informs us that we are nearing La Guardia Field, and then helps us fasten our safety belts. After we have landed, we are greeted by the mayor of New York, William Colditz, Senator Joseph Ogurchock, and Police Chief James Moses. The Mayor promises to show us the high spots of the town: first we are sped to the City Hall, where we meet the district attorney, John Parshook, and his secretary, Rosemary Bishop. scfore we tour the city, we stop at Evelyn Kowk’s restaurant for a light lunch. We are served by Mary Stano and Amelia Karrs. After a delicious meal we proceed further on our journey. From the windows of our car, the latest Charles Stadterman model, placed on the market by the Lester Artman-Ted Meixelsberger Auto Co., we notice a huge pickle factory which we are told is owned by the multi-millionaire Arthur Ricci. As we proceed down Broadway we recognize familiar names in lights. Featured at the Orrie Hazelett-Charlotte Hazelett Theater we find Dan Anto- nucei and his band, with his guest artists of the day, James Smith and Robert Butler and their “Golden Trumpets.” Directly across the street we find Mary Ann Ewing's Beauty Salon. Inside we find the manicurists to be Dolores Grayson and Dolores Fiscus. Skilled at the latest hair-styles created by Anthony Marsico are Irene Glubish, Janice Gray, and Alice Smith. The beauty shop is patro- nized by such noted figures as Roxie Ungard, the well-known newspaperwoman, Dorothy Ray, the sole heir to the Ray millions; and Carolyn Becker, who wrote the latest best-seller, “How to Win a Man.” Moving down a lew doors to the Doris Johnson Building, we notice familiar names on the office directory. Occupying Room 101 are Mabel Pratt and Dorothy Zimmerman, the well-known criminal lawyers. On the seventh floor we find the offices of Dr. Eugene Prokopik, the successful dentist. In Room 310 is Dr. Roy Young, the famous brain specialist, and his nurse, Katha- rine Reichert. On the thirty-ninth floor is radio station WKPZ; so to make our tour complete we visit the studio. We are taken up in an elevator operated by 61 CLASS PROPHECY Mildred Zemleduch, After being received at the studio by Joan Young, we are introduced to Joseph Radzwill, who is to act as our guide. Joe first takes us to the control room, where we find radio's top-notch engineer, Richard Wood, with his charming assistant, Agnes Tierney. Next we are taken to Studio Y, where the cast of the new program “Stars of Arnold” is rehearsing for its next program. Here we find that new musical success, Dom Mele and his “Three Little Dominoes” — Salvatore Argento, Robert Stein, and James Nardelli. Just finishing their program in Studio Z we find the new Frank Swoo- natra, Rudolph Adamiak and Metropolitan opera stars Elaine Frederick, Mary Sacriponte, and Ruth Landis, whose voices took the country by storm. Guests of honor on today’s program are Julia Lacinski and Mario Caicco, the noted ballet dancers, and Helen Malecki and Marian Longo, owners of the Norma Andree Chewing Gum Company. Our next stop is to see the Yankee Stadium, which is now owned by Nick Pogolescki, that versatile baseball player. Playing today are the Pittsburgh Pirates, managed by Ernest Fiorina, and the New York Yankees, who are run by that well-known manager, Joseph Sokol. As we glance over the fans, our eyes fall upon a few more members of the class of 46’ — First we see Betty Jane Crider, the world-famous dietitian, dressed beautifully in a business suit and wearing an exquisite hat creation designed by the famed milliner, Joanne Esser. With Miss Crider is Gloria Guzzo, the poet, and her capable secretary, Augusta Murin. And with Kahle Johnson, the noted explorer, is Genevieve Gates, that beautiful Hollywood model. On our way to a nightspot, we pass Theresa Spezzano'’s Super Market, which is patronized by many of the celebrities of the town — Dolores Gaudy and Nancy Chilia, social speakers; and Mary Lou Barcus, Vivian Ross, Berna- dine Moxon, Malalda Salvatore, and Doreen Theibert, five of the best dressed women in town. Now we find ourselves at the Margaret Knosky Night Club. Waitress Palmina Ulizio shows us to our table, and our orders are placed in the hands of Connie Nicastro, While waiting to be served, we see John Nigon, the noted deep-sea diver entering the club, At a table at the far end we find Joan Wetter, Ruth Wescoat, Nancy ‘Tilmans, Evelyn Porchia and Mary Lou Powell, a group of Powers models, Dining at another table are Marie Kirkwood, private secre- tary of the President of the United States; Lillian Mazza and Mary Ann Mulfley, dancing stars of the stage; and Hilde Jacob, authority in enginecring. Belore leaving this beautiful town of New York City, we visit the Lola Baldwin College. At the college (which is strictly a girls’ school) we recognize these personalities — George Fisher, all-American end, president of the college. Members of the faculty include Mary Louise Gillis, master of mathematics, and her assistant, Clara Cernicky; Margaret Housholder and Marie Puglisi, dramatic instructors; Rena Beroni, Helen DeMayo, and Patricia France, English Super- visors; Sylvia Baglieri, Marion Flaherty, and Dorothy Seman, shorthand in- structors. After thanking the mayor for an enjoyable stay, we depart for the airport. Upon our arrival at the airport, mechanics Robert Artuso and Joseph Plasynski inform us that our plane is ready for the return trip. Now we are on our last leg of the journey and as we head back over the beautiful lands¢ ape al Pennsylvania, we say to ourselves, “Yes, that’s our class of 1946. 62 . 63 CLASS WILL We, the senior class of one thousand nine hundred forty-six do bequeath the following thoughts to our underclassmen: I, Mildred Zemleduch, bequeath to all underclassmen my ability to study govern- ment on the way to school every morning. 1, Salvatore Argento, bequeath my bus to anyone who likes to drive a taxi. 1, Mary Lou Barcus, bequeath my liking for short skirts to no one.
