We do not travel unknowingly; we have our teachers who guide us. We do not go to school alone; we have our classmates. We cannot get to God and heaven on our own; we need help from others along the way. We do not study and work as isolated units; we have the flint and goad of our fellow students. Our clubs are not monologues; they have members who act together. We cannot play sports alone; we have united, spirited teams. We are not alone: We meet people, We care.

I pray that those who have planned this first year book In the history of Homestead's educational monument to good Bishop Boyle will move fro® success to success with each new initiative they under- take in the years avaltlng the beyond graduation. To a first of this kind they had to bring a pioneer spirit. May that spirit remain in them always, youthful and creative, so that the last of the works they will one day do may bring to them and all who love them the same pride of accomplishment that Is theirs as they publish this first edition! -f- 'L c-------('V-vl 'L-f datfioCic £cfioof HBoaiJ 2 u� � «w of PuuCu Very Reverend Monsignor John B.

Ninth Avenue Homestead, Pennsylvania 15120 Dear Graduates: Every high school passas certain Important allastonoa during Its lifetime. The flrat one la, of course, Its establishment. The second Is Its first graduation. The period between these two events la crucial. It la dur- ing those first four years that the new school la set on Its lifetime couree. It is a time for building facilities, academic program, staff, and traditions. Whatever happens during these years is Irrevocable and fairly well seta forever the tone, the goale, the character, and the personality of the school. A school's first principal and first teachers have such to do with the building of a school's personality and character, Boyle High School has been singularly blessed with a talented and dedicated principal and staff. Father Conboy and the staff have labored unselfishly and unceasingly to form Boyle High School Into the kind of Institution which demands the esteem and reapect of the Catholic and general communities. But students also make a school. Its first students and, there- fore, Its first graduates are, in a real aense, the co-eatabllshera and co-makers of the school's personality. Here again we can count our blessings. The first graduating class has lived up to our highest expectations and it now leaves Boyle High School after a job veil done. It has earned for Itaelf an enviable role In the history of Boyle High School. Each graduatt can be proud of the class record, I assure you that we ara. The first yearbook is a record of the first four years of Boyle High School. It la a record of the development of Boyle's personality. It Is a record of the efforts, the sacrifices, and the achievements of the principal, a staff, and a class. It Is a proud record. Our sincere congratulations to Boyle's first graduating class, to their teachers, and to their principal. Sincerely yours In Christ, jLr- Right Rev. Msgr. John B. McDowell 'Superintendent of Schools Historical Note on Boyle High School Bishop Boyle High School was officially established by the Most Reverend John J. Wright, Bishop of Pittsburgh, April 13, 1962. It was founded as a district diocesan school, including the parishes of Homestead, West Homestead, Munhall, West Mifflin, Whitaker, and Hays. By previous agreement of the pastors within the district, the school was located in the building previously known as Saint Mary Magdalene Grade School at 120 East Ninth Avenue, Homestead. The building was renovated, and now houses educational facilities of thehigh- nasium with accompanying shower and locker rooms, auditorium, guidance offices and health room. A new and complete kitchen and cafeteria were installed. The high school opened September 4, 1962, with approximately 160 ninth grade dents. § the name was changed to Boyle High School. S''-------------- stu- Biographical Note St. Paul’s Cathedral. From 1909 to 1916, he served as superintendent oj schools Our school is named in honor of Hugh Charles Boyle, the Sixth Bishop of Pittsburgh. Bishop Roy le was born in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, on October 8, 1873. When fifteen years of age and in the first year at college, he lost nine members of his family of twelve, in the j Johnstown flood of May 31,1889. He was ordained on July 2, 1889, at St. Vincent Seminary. His first appointment was to St. Aloysius Church, Wilmerding. In 1903, he was assigned | as curate to St. Paul’s Cathedral. From 1909 to 19HLhe served as superintendents under Bishop Canevin. In 1916, Father Boyle became the pastor of St. Mary Magdalene's Parislf in Home- stead, which city had been the center of the history of American labor ..for years. For five years during the first World War and its aftermath of industrial strife, he successfully managed this parish with its varied spiritual and social responsibilities. Father Boyle was consecrated Bishop of Pittsburgh on June 29, 1921. His work for education in the diocese, especially at the secondary level, is perhaps the primary testi- mony to his gremness, and thus he receives proper and fitting acclaim in having our school named for him. It was under fi is direct guidance that the Diocese of Pittsburgh formally, began to achieve its remarkable status in the realm of education. Together with the late Monsignor Thomas J. Quigley, Bishop Boyle carefully planned and executed the establislwien om h finest secondary schools in the state. At his death in December, 1950, Bishop Boyle unknowingly helcTclaim to have founded the tradition of education which, faithfully continued and expanded by his two episcopal successors and the Diocesan Office, has marked the Diocese of Pittsburgh as a standardj of educational excellence throughout the United States. Boyle High School is privileged by its name and by i opportunity to join that tradi-j tion. Dedication What the roots are to the oak, the foundation to the structure, the preparation to the goal--that, Fa- ther Conboy has been to each of us: an influence of strength, inspira- tion, and purpose. As headmaster, his influence has been personal and deeply hu- man. He believes in each of us. He has consistently refused to let the little failings of youth hammer away at the ideal image he carries of each Boyle student: A Christian gentleman or young lady, destined for eternal happiness with God. And it is his appeal to the Christian in each of us that has always been most effective. For Father Conboy, education is always a personal matter; never a matter of mass media or whole- sale distribution. In his capable hands, Boyle High School emerged from a nebulous idea to a potent reality; nor did he ever wince under the difficulties this emergence meant. Under his guidance, one hundred thirty-one seniors grew to the stature of young Christian adulthood. Father Conboy has merited our respect and admiration by . . . his constant solicitude for us . . . his willingness to assist us at all times . . . his infinite patience with us . . . his unbounded trust in us . . . his unselfish giving . . . his humility which has given true dignity to his office. In grateful acknowledgment, we dedicate this first volume of BOYLE to Father Conboy Our Headmaster, Friend, Counselor, and Guide. It is our way of saying, We're grateful for what you've done for us; we'll live up to your expectations. Administration As his bulletin board shows, Father Richard Conboy's involve- ments of everything Boyle” best portray him. For the fourth and last year Kenneth Urasek goes to our headmaster for help to untie a knot in a conflicting schedule. And how true at anytime, any student can go to Father for any- thing. Serving from This Desk and File Sister Martina’s open door is always a sign of her constant availability and dependability. Sister Martina, S.C., vice-principal, is there when her aid, understanding, or only her presence is wanted or is necessary. Her work resembles a file marked A to Z. 10 Faculty The English department mainly composed of Sister M. Wilhelmina, V.S.C., Sister M. Rosalia, V.S.C., and Mr. JohnKeally continues to find new methods of teaching Eng- lish. One of the most practical visual aids for large group instruction is the overhead projector. Teaching the basics: English Religion History One of the main purposes of Boyle High is Chris- tian training through knowledge and love of our reli- gion. Father Francis Plantes and Sister M. Antoin- ette, V.S.C., look over material for classes prepared by the diocese and a pamphlet doctrinal series. On earth, the light of knowledge comes only through experiences. In social studies, history in- structors: Sister M. Liguori, D.D.R., Mr. Michael Mulvihill, Mr. Theodore Gladkowski, and Mr. Francis Mannion provide facts about past experiences for us to apply to the present. Sister M. Roberta, D.D.R., like the art mannequin Shimmy placed in almost any position, can still come out smiling. Sister Marie John, S.C., another Maestro , deftly helps the choral groups scale the keyboard of ex- cellence to many an encore. The fine arts are in the hands of these teachers. Faculty Classics Latin stands as stately as a column; and is basic to language as shelter to man. Fine teachers like Sis- ter Anna Marie, V.S.C., and Mr. Thomas Jackman make its difficulties worthwhile challenges. 12 And Speaking . . . Languages Who claims the Mexican hat? Oui. Si. The mo- dern language department employs versatility, cultur- al background, and conversation in French and Spanish due to the efforts of Father John Klein, Sister M. Ursula, O.S.F., and Miss Mary Lou Dacey. And Doing . . . Science There’s united interest here a- round the geiger counter measuring radio-activity in a watch. The u- nited realms are general science, Mr. Hugh Gallagher; physics, Mr. David Morrison; chemistry, Sister M. Genevieve, O.S.F., and biology, Sister M. Goretti, D.D.R. 13 Faculty Efficiency-plus typifies the business department handled by Mrs. Gilda Mammone and Sister Mary Alice, D.D.R. Opportunities, training, and skill in both clerical and stenographic fields are presented to busi- ness students by these competent teachers. Training . . for Business The three math-magicians gather for a departmental meeting on student require- ments for advancing in the math program. Sister Donna Marie, S.C., Sister Marie Berchmans, S.C., and Sister Ann Margaret, S.C. confer on the levels of alternate courses for Boylites. Someone must have suggested astronomical physics. Discovering . . . Math . . . 14 Staff Guiding Patient understanding, advice, and direction are ready to be given by Guidance Counselor Father John S. Hoehl to senior Joseph Muraca. Be it college boards, applications, texts, problems, or just some- one ready to lend an ear, Father Hoehl can be found ready and waiting for you. The library is a vital part of the school. And just as vital is Sister M. Patricia, V.S.C. whose fund of knowledge of books helps many students daily. Helping Of the many individuals who keep Boyle High running smoothly, Mrs. Dolores Carr, recep- tionist, and Mrs. Adele Peretich, bookkeeper, assist with unswerving fidelity. is 16 Class of 1966 William Andrews ST.

Houses have stories, ladders have rungs, the earth has layers, and even man has levels of being. A man starts in a lowly state and is in a constant state of striving. His arms and hands reach out; yet he often fails. Man tries to discover a more gradual means to carry him to the next level and he finds this escalator in education, which can up- lift him to the level that he wants. This is the purpose of Boyle, to de- velop our minds to carry souls. We wish to present the history of Boyle in its various stages of growth as a proud family presents home movies. Watch her levels. Watch her grow, young and stumbling. Watch her mature, developing and gradually coming into her own. In cinemascopic fashion Home- stead's scene is before us and one building is singled out. St. Mary Magdalene Grade School became Bishop Boyle High School on April 13, 1962 when officially established by Bishop John J. Wright. It was necessary for the school to exist in the Steel Valley. Many prayers and petitions had been offered so that Boyle High would come into Being. 34 The school serves students from the following parishes: St. Agnes, St. Anne, St. Anthony, St. Mary Magdalene, St. Michael, SS. Peter and Paul, Holy Angels, St. Francis, St. Margaret, St. Rita, Resurrection, and St. Teresa. In addition, students also come from St. Stephen, St. Rosalia, St. Albert the Great, St. John Cathedral, Corpus Christi, Sacred Heart, Nativity, St. Philomena, and St. Elias. In September 1962 the school opened her doors to one hundred fifty- five ninth grade students. The Bishop appointed Father Richard L. Conboy as headmaster with Sr. Martina, S. C. as vice-principal. The staff that the first year included: Sr. Wilhelmina VSC, Sr. Anna Marie VSC, Sr. Lucia Marie SC, Sr. Gracia SC, Mrs. Betty Kelley, and Mr. Francis Mannion. That September minds were about the only things that the faculty had to work with, for all the other physical educational facilities were non-existent. A pioneer, roughing it spirit prevailed and inconveniences became adventures. We didn't let our handicaps hinder our progress. Where there were no walls, no lockers, no electric bell system, there was tremendous generosity on the part of teachers and students. Our Christmas Pageant was a great perfor- mance even without stage curtains. The pounding of the hammers fi- nally subsided for February 9, 1963 when Bishop Boyle High School was formally dedicated. As Father Conboy put it so fittingly: Today, the longed-for, prayed-for, begged-for Catholic Secondary School for Steel Valley is a fact--a happy satisfying fact. Many years and many people have come and gone with no hint of the realization which today is ours. And so administration of the school took place from a small third floor office: the third floor was our domain, as the grade school stu- dents still occupied the rest of the building. Student Council was or- ganized, the Lancers began their team work, the cheerleaders started their pep rallies. The ball was rolling; the reel is moving. The First Year 35 In September 1963, two hundred four freshmen joined the one hundred forty-two sophomores. With Father Conboy and Sr. Martina still taking the leading role, the rest of the cast was: Sr. Wilhelmina VSC, Sr. Anna Marie VSC, Sr. Louis Marie VSC, Sr. Rose of Lima VSC, Sr. Marie John SC, Sr. Zachary SC, Sr. Francis Teresa SC, Sr. Roberta DDR, Mr. Mannion, Mrs. Blasko, and Mr. Magnus. This year the entire third floor became ours with half of the second floor, and two annex rooms at St. Francis School. The ten minute walk provided recess for the students and a coffee break for the faculty. The cafeteria opened in Oct- tober. In November President Kennedy's death moved us all. Who doesn't remember the place when Father gave the announce- ment? Then the post office flag and municipal building flag low- ered to give mute testimony. The Christmas Event moved in with its moving star. Forensics, J. C. L., Soph Corner News began. We had our first Spring Concert with a Civil War theme. The Spring Dance found Gary Sweeney and Theresa Wakefield as King and Queen. Boyle's third year in 1964 had an enrollment of 534 students. This year we participated in a shared time program with Steel Valley Technical School and Schwab Vocational in the after- noon. The staff comprised Father Conboy, Sr.Martina, SC, Sr. Wil- helmina, VSC, Sr. Anna Marie, VSC, Sr. Louis Marie, VSC, Sr. Clotilde, VSC, Sr. Patricia, VSC, Sr. Mary Alice, DDR, Sr. Roberta, DDR, Sr. Marie John, SC, Sr. Mary Jean, SC, Sr. Francis Therese SC, Lights. . .

Daily Noon Mass was initiated. The school newspaper, The Lance, began. The first members of the Na- tional Honor Society were inducted. In our jun- ior year the designfor the school ring was com- pleted and there was an impressive ring day ceremony. We were as radiant as the golden sapphires. We handed in ID cards or lost them. The Christmas play was called Answer, a modern allegory. Our Spring Concert was a panoramic view of the U.S., replete with our own folk singing group. We earned many honors in Latin. The Musart Group traveled to New York for the World's Fair. The shorthand stu- dents won a national award. We were starting to feel the weight of years. The Auditorium be- came a ballroom for our first formal dance. There are usually countdowns at the be- ginning of movies. Ours, instead, comes at the end. With an enrollment of 688 in 1965, we en- tered the fourth year at Boyle. This book re- cords that year. Our senior officers are George Overton, Alex Sabo, Timothy Lynch, Cheryl Kubick. Sister Liguori is senior class moder- ator. We have grown and still are growing. This movie isn't over yet, but when it is, there'll be reruns. 37 They’re Ready Following fast in the steps of their predecessors, the juniors added to the history of Boyle in a number of ways. When they came as freshmen, the grade school had not yet moved to the new building; conditions at Boyle were con- sequently on the crowded side. To ease the situation, the incoming freshmen had several classes at the nearby St. Francis School which necessitated a daily trek up tne Ave- nue. But the Class of '67 was none the worse for it. It ranks high in scholarship as well as leadership, and gives fair promise of being a worthy successor to the first sen- ior class. HOMEROOM 105—Sister M. Rosalia, V.S.C.

Sophomores vary in size, in likes, in ambitions; they are united in their desire to be recognized. When they came to Boyle in Septem- ber, 1964, the grade school had moved out; and with the nearly 200 thrust given by the Class of ’68, the school was near- ing full capacity.

MISS- ING: Elaine Moore, James Lesko. They’re Hesitant Representing the ’’youth” of Boyle, the freshman class of 187 members faced a new frontier of excitement, learn- ing, fears, joys, and hopes. With their coming, the school reached full four-year status and the facilities of the physi- cal plant were stretched to their limits. As a group, freshmen contribute to making Boyle a school alive with people, life, and spirit. Hesitating with the forming of new friendships, yet meeting, growing, ma- turing, they are awake to the challenges of their high school years and a welcome addition to Boyle High. Wonder, hesitation, anticipation--all play havoc in the minds of freshmen en- tering Boyle on the first day of school. Daniel O'Toole, Eugene Horgos, Celeste Gamboa, and Mary Beth Quinn.

They’re Growing Introducing the freshmen to high school, helping them with schedules, giving them the you re welcome here” feeling--this is all a part of vice-principal Sister Martina's job. Here Sister Martina explains to Rita Dobnak an apparent conflict in her schedule. The line outside Room 113 waiting for Sister Martina's assistance was always long, but freshmen were not usually the problem children. Their problems were simply confusions. Other confused freshmen in search of help are Paul Sakalik, Janet Vlha, Susan Smith, and Robert Horgos. HOMEROOM 306--Sister M. Goretti, D.D.R.

Commitment rist, e sacrament « 9 h Church, e sacrament r cwri s-f Tiny Margaret Heim points out to David Timko the derivation and importance of the Hebrew word QAHAL to the Greek ECCLESIA and to the English CHURCH during a review lesson in junior religion when the students study God's people en route. Judy Crawford is ready to supplement the explanation. The Bible holds a place of prominence in every religion class whether enthroned or not. Irene Need- ham prepares a verse to be applied to another junior in her homeroom. God Gives His Word Boyle students mature in Christ through their relationship with others. Only by becoming OTHER conscious can they achieve their roles as Christian students. Opportunities are given on every level of religion classes to be closer to God, the OTHER, by liturgy, Scripture, dogma, and witness, and to other fellow classmates in daily practical Christian life. First we learn it, then we live it. Sophomore Gary Lester cites a text from Scripture to answer a question on the life of Christ. The seated theologi- ans bear him out: Ponald Sklencar, Edward Sage, Gerald Zamborsky, Deborah DiTillo, James Kundravi, and Geral- dine Kruth. 56 It must be the end of a project session or the be- ginning of an ’’open house” in freshman religion with Elaine DiLucia and Marian Gregory handling charts with Sister M. Antoinette. Father Plantes’ senior boys appear in a fes- tive mood for the holidays while some (two to be exact!) catch up on back work. Ronald Schoff scans the students: William O’Rourke, George Overton, William Pacacha, Paul Pohuly, John Major, Joseph Manfred, Charles McGreevy, Jos- eph Gentile, Earl Hemminger, Robert Bost, Mi- chael Cepko, James Dee, Stephan Horvath (getting Father’s eye) and Kenneth Urasek. We Learn Religion The senior girls wonder, doubt, consider the answer Father Plantes has just given on marriage. The mixed reactions belong to Joan McElhinny, Millie Palo, Karen Price, Karen Moxley, Paulette Fetsko, Theresa Wakefield, Marita Miles, Judy Sterling, and Marie Nee. It would take another Vatican Session to really clarify matters. Church With the daily celebration of Noon Mass at St. Mary Magdalene Church, confession can become a regular part of every Boyle student's life. Taking advantage of this opportunity are Carol Puskar, Steven Baran, Rosemary Di- Lucia, Linda McGreevy, Janet Skapinak, and Marita Miles. . the light around the tabernacle . two lighted candles . stained glass windows . creak of wooden pews . green light over the confessional . click of a ladies high heels . voices and souls praying together . murmur of an organ . solemn pronunciation of Amen . tinkle of a bell before the Word is made Flesh . people of God . the presence of God The stained glass window illustrates our world in miniature--labor, educa- tion, government, strength, art, music, inspiration, science, training, and skill. f I We Live Religion 58 We Respond To His Word The student body is led in the new Liturgy rby senior commentator Wil- liam Andrews. Others have assumed that position, but Bill was one of the first. Geraldine Erleba and Paula Polischak take time out after school to express religion graphically. They arrange a panoramic view of Advent by showing Christ coming in HIS- TORY in Bethlehem, MYSTERY in the Eucharist, and MAJESTY in the Second Coming. Bible quotes on ’’coming” and con- temporary illustrations have helped convey the message which certainly was accepted and responded to. 59 The nucleus of a Boyle students’ life is the noon Mass offered daily at St. Mary Magdalene Church. Many students realize the immense privilege being offered and avail themselves of the opportunity. Sculptured by senior Raymond Gillespie, the Madonna Lancer is proof of the spir- itual guidance that permeates the at- mosphere of Boyle High. She instills in the students a ’’will to win” through her intercession and serves as our model of fair play, good sportsmanship, and victory. As members of the Mission Club, Rosemary DiLucia, James Lenkner, Roseann Zaremba, and Terrence Shields make ready to carry the offertory gifts to the altar. Moderator Sister Antoinette helps Roseann with the cruets. Aside from the world of pep assemblies, and the usual part and parcel of cheers, victory chants, and team enthusiasm, sophomore Mary Evelyn Roth pauses a moment in prayer to ask our Lady to guide our team home to victory. 60 Christ, the Sacrament of God, the Church, the Sacrament of Christ Our yes to the interior demands of grace, to that greater life, that wider freedom, that more em- bracing splendor which comes from within and is called grace and belongs to Christ, the crucified and risen, is spoken in the Mass and must be fulfilled in life. --Karl Rahner In our hands, the world and life are placed like a host, ready to be charg- ed with the divine influence, that is to say with a real presence of the In- carnate Word. --Chardin Besides Mission Club, one religious group presently handled on a diocesan level is TARGET, a teen age en- richment program in re- ligion. Four of its repre- sentatives from Boyle have a discussion on the Chris- tian Community: Kathleen Brogan, Earl Stevens, James Lenkner, and Chris- tine Ryczek. The TARGET group conciuded an Advent Day at Fontbonne Academy by a Bible Service around the crib and tree. The In- carnation became a reality. 62 Our Industry 63 Expanding Our English Literature Discussion Grammar Writing The ability to use good English, both written and spo- ken, is essential to everyone. Boyle's English course, in ad- dition to making the students more proficient in the use of grammar and vocabulary, also includes an appreciation of good literature and practice in composition. Notebooks, textbooks, and pens are being used conscientiously in Sister Wilhelmina's fresh- man English class. The bent heads over the grammar exercise belong to Joseph Farring- ton, Kathleen McCusker, Hugh Morgan, Daniel O'Toole, John Smith, Patricia Karasinski, John Martine, Casey Rusko, Ronald Maxin, Barbara Froelich, Dolores Susinskas, Arthur Seng, Susan Shank, Jo Ann Mayni, and Lois Ann Brugos. Elash is the center of this sophomore literary . Mary Beth Slater, Nicholas Kopay, and Ber- nard Kusibab prepare to add their comments. 64 Literature a la Shakespeare captivates juniors with Sister Rosalia. Carolyn Lancos and Elizabeth Hallman interrupt their attention for the span of a shutter. Mr.Keally projects a lesson from Dr. Peterson's Manual of English Composition for seniors using the overhead projector. Attentively (?) watching are: FIRST ROW--K. Kuzma,R. Ward, R. Williams, A. Sabo, F. Radison, D. Vereb, C. Golofski, J. Aul, R. Stein, T. Miller; SECOND ROW—B. Shank, W. Parnell, S. Horvath, M. Findlan, C. Puskar, P. Cush, L. Vilage, J. Kenney, J. Lanish, R. Gillespie; THIRD ROW--R. DiLucia, N. Kaselonis, V. Polischak, P. Kusek, C. Kubick, E. Munson, F. Ruffa, D. Dobrzynski, G. Sweeney; LAST ROWS--J. O'Toole, J. Komorosky,T. Trout, D. Woolheater, A. Swetz, L. DiGiosio, K. Johns, J. Muraca, P. Mulligan, and R. Sega. Clues on the bashful senior beside Richard would be appreciated by the yearbook staff. 65 In the junior U.S. history class the students participate in a demo- cratic panel discussion: William Barca, Eugene Saus, John Kominsky, Joseph Gajdos, Anthony Amendola, and speaker John Coyne. We see that Thomas Vojtek and Michael Evans are enjoying his talk, but Rob- ert Clair and Lorraine Linkhauer aren’t going to reveal themselves. For convenience we separate social studies into history, geography, economics, sociology, geology, and anthropology. As the studies in social sciences deepen, they overlap just as man relates to man. He strives to be united as is evident in the United Nations, a symbol of the union for which Christ prayed. History, a Record of the Past Mr. Mulvihill's geography class has moved to the library for research work on a project. (It’s here where the photographer caught them poring over a terrain of books!) Kenneth Rusnica and Francis Wargo are the only identifiable students at the rear table. Kevin Rafferty, Thomas Vojtek, James Sailor, Charles Custer, and Robert Clair do their research close to the reference section. The growth of U.S. business is por- trayed by the graph in Mr. Gladkowski’s economics book. Are Alex Sabo, William Mattiko, and Randall Williams wondering why their homework assignments lack a resemblance to this profile? ' I The weekly TIME magazine serves as a supplement to P.O.D. class, but James Lanish (giving US the eye!) wonders if the photo- grapher will stay longer. Sister Liguori gives HIM the eye while the seniors look over the issue before small group discussions begin. The front group is com- prised of Shirley Sedlak, Audrey Katis, and Patricia Kusek; the farther group is Joseph Muraca, Joseph Yarkosky, David Wool- heater, Frank Ruffa, and Gary Sweeney. Mr. Mannion casually discusses a point of world culture class after the bell with Maureen Glackin, David Facchiano, James Fenton, and Douglas Drown. It may be the Olympic score of 420 B.C. . . . and Guide to the Future Sister Liguori's Problems of Democracy lecture gets varied reactions from those in the first row: Robert Ward, Randall Wil- liams, Alex Sabo, Frederick Radison, and Daniel Vereb. Behind them we see a drowsy William Parnell, Nancy Kaselonis, and Linda Vilage. 67 No, not 'tour' as in’trip',” Mr. Mulvihill explains to the second half of world culture class, but as in 'cathedral'. Doesn’t ’cathedral1 start with 'c'? quips someone from the sophomore class. Languages: Classical Mr. Jackman drills the pronunciation of the first and second declension to first year Latin student Hugh Morgan. To his left are guests from Puerto Rico: Carlos Fernandez, Alberto Arroys, and Tomas Sarona who spent three days visiting Boyle High, particularly delighting in the language classes. Latin II comes alive when sophomores act out a section of mythology. Anthony Russo pleads before his accus- ers: Patricia Patterson, Ernest Sota, Geraldine Ducko, Mary Margaret Treshler, John Weir, and Barbara Dudas. Sister Anna Marie gives a glance of approval, and if Sister shows assent, then you're all right, Anthony! As well as studying the de- c 1 e n s i o n s and vocabulary of a foreign langu- age, we view a way of life. From the ancient Romans to the modern Spanish and French, we find quite a few similarities be- tween their cul- ture and ours. Latin In the advanced Latin class, Kathy Rousher scans a verse of Latin poetry. John Smalley (on the ex- treme left) appears satisfied, but the foursome of Robert Leitzel, Simon Kovalik, Patricia Slater, and David Franzetta turn to Sister Anna Marie (and the camera) for verification. Father Klein shows Paula Polischak the vocab- ulary words for the day’s French I lesson. Edward Grosick, Michael Kelly, Christine Harbodin, Thomas Vojtek, Geraldine Erleba, John Koval, and John Horensky pause until class resumes. . . . and Modern Customs read from a book and customs related by Cesar T. Medina, visitor from Puerto Rico, may account for the concen- trated attention of Spanish II students in Sister Ursula's class. Charles McGreevey, Robert Ward, William Schuetz, Michael Cepko, William O'Rourke, and Stephen Horvath listen to Cesar's every word. Senior French II students admire Mont Saint Michel shown them by Father Klein. Father's personal experience and interest causes France to be transplanted to Room 203 temporarily for John Major, Joan McElhinny, James Dee, and Mildred Palo. French Spanish Miss Dacey may be asking what record should be used as a fol- low up lesson in Spanish I or she may be inquiring who put the 9 between the 5 and 6 on the flannel board clock. In any event, we hope Keith Caito, David Rousher, or James Kontul supply an answer. ’’There is no place in the world but contains some trace of God; He has left His secret marks every- where, and they need only to be found.” Jacques Maritain Thus we have science, which whets man’s curi- osity and seeking. General science, biology, chemis- try, and physics provide the territory for finding some ’’marks” of God. Donald Szokoly, Patricia King, and Frank Vereb discover the world of microminiative life through the lenses as Sister Goretti observes these prospective biologists during sophomore lab period. Experiments and Experience in Science Freshmen not taking biology get their introduction to general science from Mr. Gallagher. Here he lectures James DiLucia, Michael Mulligan, Michele Krescando, Robert Rosek, John Spelman, Janice Besselman, Margaret Trout, Joseph Luberto, Patrick Miller, Francis Popp, and Robert Kuzma. 70 A post session of senior science gets this demonstration of a solar eclipse of the moon on Australia. Mr. Mor- rison's extra lectures are delivered to David Horgan, Kenneth Johns, John McManigal, and Joseph Yar- kosky. Mr. Morrison compares the practi- cal differences between calculus and algebra to his bewildered students. As he always says, It's easy, just plug in the values. Members of this junior physics class are William Tapolcai, Norma Thomas, Terrence Shields, Robert Leitzel, Monica Leech, and Janet Bodnar. . .sometimes explosions! Seeing is believing, and in chemistry it is no exception. Paula Polischak, Jean Novotny, and Robert Orozco prepare an orange and magenta brew (we’re sorry this isn't in living color!) directed by Sister Genevieve while John Koval, Charles Carr, John Halko, and Lawrence Connelly wait for a chemical change, miracle, or explosion. The emulsion separated. 71 Minors and Majors in Math Mr. E. Hensler joined the Boyle staff for second se- mester assisting in the math department. John Horensky demonstrates the quadratic functions of a circle before Sister Marie Berchmans and to an attentive algebra 2 class. James Astuto and Paul Weir apparently grasped it. William O'Rourke makes it look so simple on this large slide rule think Bernard Rousher, Edith Smith, and Joan McElhinny. Sister Marie Berchmans knows it is in math 4. 72 Ha Sister Ann Margaret helps Gary Sweeney with a problem in special math class. The varied expressions belie the typical character of Joseph Muraca, Anna Marie Karadus, Timothy Lynch, Marita Miles, and James Lanish. Geometry class finds Joseph Toth having a bit of difficulty trying to construct the per- pendicular bisector and to explain it to a fellow classmate. Sister Donna Marie explains the principle of additive inverse to John Praskovich and Theresa Borsch in algebra I. The purpose of math is to stimulate the reasoning ability of the individual. Students are given an op- portunity to exercise this ability in Algebra I and II, Geometry, Math IV, and Special Math. Grinding the Ax with Axioms Boyle Business Business is BIG business at Boyle, as far as equipment and course offerings go. A complete course enables students to become proficient in basic business skills and to receive initial training in a number of business machines shown on the next page. BELOW: Bookkeeping students immersed in their ledgers: Barbara Besselman, Janet Gmuca, Jean Gmuca, Paula Cush, Steve Horvath, Audrey Katis, Michael Findlan, Linda Kostelnik, and Nancy Kaselonis. RIGHT: Mrs. Mammone's shorthand stu- dents, completely oblivious of the camera: Lor- etta Kinevey, Mary Lou Godec, Patricia Bolger, Janet Asmonga, Theresa Bayuk, Lucy Quinlan, and Dolores Zilko. The shorthand H students in their most unambitious pose. It was the second last day before Christmas vacation, the second last period of the day, the last few minutes of the period--and Sister Alice was minus her glasses. Consequently: Peggy Woolley takes her twenty winks; Nancy Kaselonis is off in a trance; Audrey Katis seems to be directing Sister in matching the needle and the record, and Ellen Munson has her bland smile for the photographer. Star junior typist Lorraine Di Lucia portrays the concentration that brought results. By De- cember, Lorraine was typing 68 words per minute on her speedy Selectric.

The Halls Are Alive. . . Directed by Sister Marie John, a freshman choral group scales as high as the very Christmas Stars they sing about. Accom- panist Barbara Grove manages to keep mu- sic, Sister, and choristers in her span of vision above those keys. Private lessons precede group practice of the Boyle Band. Mr. Suskalo points to a passage executed by Robert Stein on the saxophone. Christopher Tyner has some- thing terrifically pleasant in his mind. ’’Softer! Let the trumpet carry the melody now,” conducts bandmaster Mr. Suskalo to clarinet players Joseph Gentile, James Stitt, David Tarasevich, Kathleen Alexander, and drummers Dolores Jacobs, David Facchia- no, Charles DeMonaco, and William Galvin. 76 . . . with the Sound of Music The musical notes of and from the sophomore chorus cause Sister Marie John to anticipate the forth-coming annual Spring Concert. A tribute was paid in song to Pittsburgh and the surrounding area this year. 77 From the trying days of the first mu- sic class to the last choral period of the year; from Noon Mass to singing on the bus, singing fills our lives. We may not be Bellafonte's but we try, and that's the important thing. Art Classes The Studio in 201 With the graceful curve stitching in the background, seniors Robert Bost, William Jeffcoat, Raymond Gillespie, Bonnie Shank, and Peggy Woolley finish up their prints or paintings. And what does Ray see? A birdie by the camera or a pigeon at the feeder? In a way, the freshmen art class is ’’cook- ing up” something. David Shuba, James May, and Linda Cerra roll out a brayer background in preparation for a charcoal sketch. Art students share ideas, evaluate, ex- hibit their work, and assist one another in every class. Geraldine Dueko displays her duck tempera abstraction and Frank Batorick gives a critical glance at Karen Freda's clown. 78 Well, if it's pizza, it's not the first time! It IS an enameled ash tray Kathy Rousher removes from the kiln while Steve Baran and Kyran Mangold watch the change of color. Linda Village and Millie Palo ex- amine another copper piece in senior craft class. Artists are the antennae of the human race; they think and feel ahead of others. —Ezra Pound The juniors combine art history with var- ious projects in different media. This col- lage is being arranged by Deborah Carr, Vincent Bruno, and Claudia Sage. Sr. Roberta is the art teacher. The function of all art lies in pro- viding a window on the Infinite for the hungry soul of man. Through art the senses give wings to the soul, to raise it above petty things and fleeting troubles toward the eternal . . . toward the only true Good, God. Pope Pius XII 79 Steel Valley Mr. Robert Paul explains how to use the AISC handbook in Civil Construction I to James Stitt, George Gribar, and Gary Lucas. The resemblance of Mr. Paul to Mr. Mac Namara is as coincidental as Gary looks like Frank Lloyd Wright. The chalk board doesn't show election returns, it shows the answers of the co- op group of second year civil construc- tion students: Julius Sota, Ronald Schoff, Keith Kuzma, and Allan Blocher. Now, what was that last reading? Pressure, stress, and strain on metal is being measured by Mr. D. Hemphill for the future engineers and for architects Joseph Manfred, Kenneth Urasek, Paul Pohuly, Keith Kuzma, Allen Blocher, Julius Sota, and Ronald Schoff. . . . From 1:00 to 4:00 80 Technical School Electronics I class finds Kenneth Rusnica and Mr. O’Brian showing the fundamentals of AC circuit analysis to James Bryan, Rudolph Sterner, and Edward Peretich. In data processing, Robert Horgos activates a computer as John Ver- banick, Gary Volk, Frank Eged, Robert Stein, and instructor Mr. B. Kaiser await results. John is the first to decipher the GE joke. Jovial Mr. R. Rishell demonstrates to Janet Dimsa, Kathleen Alexan- der, Pauline Bodnar, Concetta Col- liza, and Bruce Varga that although this 402 accounting machine looks simple enough, appearances are deceiving. 81 Shared Time Steel Valley Technical School Yes, we give green stamps is written all over Stephen Lesko’s face as he registers a sale of an imaginary article for an imaginary buyer in a very real marketing class. With all those wires and instrument panels, the scene is either a cockpit or a second year electronics class at SVT. Instructor Mr. V. Coder supervises Bernard Rousher and David Heckman taking a reading from a volt meter. From diagram to machine Stanley Wrobel will be able to make a smooth adjustment under the tutelage of Mr. L. Hayes, diesel instruc- tor. The first year marketing class glances upward from a store’s organization chart. Miss Rhoda Wilson looks justifiably proud of Janice Mrzy- got, Isabel DiNicola, Patricia Linkhauer, and Sharon Shlapak. 82 Shared Time Schwab Vocational High School also instructs Boyle stu- dents on a shared time basis in the afternoon. Practical expe- rience becomes Thomas Trout’s in auto body class. That car window will be fixed yet! James Kenney works cautiously on his project as Mr. J. Koenig gives a few good pointers on precise drafting. The fourth of July is celebrated by fireworks daily by the electric arc welding of James Costelnik and Michael Dembski. Mr. W. O'Farrell oversees part of his welding class engrossed in acetylene welding and burning: James Costelnik, Andrew Swetz, and Michael Dembski. Schwab Vocational School Student Council Among the Council-sponsored activities of the past year were Black and Gold Day and Cookies for Vietnam. BELOW: Darryl Dobrzynski, Jim Lanish, Teresa Wakefield, Bill Andrews and Paulette Fetsko appear to be enjoying the decorating in Room 109. Black and Gold Day culminated in the Boyle-Serra game at which senior athletes and their parents were honored. LOWER RIGHT: Kathy Rousher, Simon Kovalik, and Millie Palo packed Boyle’s contribution in the Cookies lor Vietnam drive. Boyle’s Student Council is the school’s leadership organization that aids in interpreting and carrying out administrative policies. It is the school’s most impor- tant organization. Officers for the 1965-66 school year were William O’Rourke, president; Simon Kovalik, vice-president; Kathleen Rousher, secre- tary; and Wanda Schlecht, treasurer. Sister Ann Margaret, S.C., is faculty moderator. One of the big accomplishments of the Student Council was the publication of a Student Handbook. Begun during the 1964-65 school year, the book was completed during the summer and ready for distribution on the first day of the new school year. The book provides a ready reference for stu- dents, covering all school activities, regulations, and policies. At the candlelighting ceremony, John Kopay lights the candles of scholarship, leadership, character, and service. Re- ceiving the flame are Kathy Rousher, Cheryl Kubick, and Linda Kostelnik. A chapter of the National Honor So- ciety was begun at Boyle when the pre- sent seniors were juniors. Six members were received that first year: Robert Bost, John Kopay, William O'Rourke, Kathleen Rousher, Edith Smith, and James Tuite. This year, thirty-one more students (seventeen juniors and fourteen seniors) gained recognition by acceptance into the Society. Four seniors were received in- to the National Business Honor Society. These students represent the best at Boyle in scholarship, leadership, charac- ter, and service. A pleased and pleasant headmaster looks over the list of new honor society members. Father Conboy presented the students with the emblem pins and spoke at the assembly. Kathy Rousher, charter member, pins the new honor society member, William Andrews. Mu One of the active honor societies at Boyle is the Musart Club, y ith field trips as a major part of its activities.

Rosemary Di Lucia, Nancy Kase- Cubick, members pictured above, New this year at Boyle is a chapter of the Future Scientists of America. Eleven stu- dents comprise this select group, eligible on the basis of keen intereJI in scientific pur- suits and a high academic standing. Each member completes an investigation during the year on any topic of his choice. In the picture at left, Peggy Donovan, Joan Surdy, and Larry Connelly watch Bar- bara Dominici work on her experiment: the investigation of the effect of various indica- tors on plant life. Members of the Latin Honor Society chalked up a n enviable record for themselves during the past two years. Pictured at left are some oftheLatin- ites who under the direc- tion of Sister Anna Marie, V.S.C., brought many laurels to Boyle. Bob Bost won a poster prize at the Buhl Plane- tarium Latin Show; Janet Bodnar and Bob Leitzel (EXTREME RIGHT) placed second and first in the Latin Achievement Test of the Classical As- sociation of Pittsburgh and Vicinity; and Kathy Roush- er (CENTER) won a first place in the Latin Vocabu- lary Test sponsored by the Diocesan Classical Honor Society.

BOYLK HIGH SCHOOL MAMFCTFAD PENNSYLVANIA October 22. 1965 T Out of the confusion . . . order. Confusion seems to reign at journalism meetings when discussions are in progress, articles are assigned, and copy prepared. But eventually, order emerges, deadlines are met, the print- er obliges, and the paper comes out. It's a great day for the journalists. Page editor Rosemary Di Lucia passes out articles for the clippings notebook that each journalism student keeps. Virginia McElhinny in the foregound. Lance photographer John Urban trains his camera on a subject . . . lost for lack of space. During this year, the school acquired a Yashica camera complete with a Honeywell strobe unit. Begun in September, 1964, the school newspaper, The Lance, has proved to be what it set out to be: a means of informing, en- tertaining and influencing stu- dents in developing good sports- manship, better citizenship, and able leadership. The Lance was one of the eight schools in the Diocese to achieve All Catholic rating for its 1964-65 issues. James Tuite was editor dur- ing the first two years; Janet Bodnar will assume editorship for next year. Every aspiring reporter hopes for the office and administration beat, an assignment which requires tact, poise, and a delicate sense of knowing just how far to question. Janet Bodnar keeps her ears cocked in the direc- tion of the office; then meets with Father Conboy or Sister Martina to check for accuracy. After the confusion . . the luxury of solitude. Editor James Tuite is justly proud of the staff's work, yet his critical eye is quick to note what needs improvement for the next issue. Decisions are a part of the journalist's job. What to put in and what to leave out; where to cut and whom to crop—all these come up for consideration. Deciding on which pictures to use are Nick De Martino, John Urban, Pauline Bodnar, Joan Surdy, and Sister Mary Alice. LOWER RIGHT: Pasting up the galleys is both interesting and pain- staking. For page editors, it often means more decisions since the printer is adamant in his decision: No more than 17 inches in each column. Working on paste-ups are Bill Schuetz, Charles Carr, John Urban, Janet Bodnar, Rosemary Di Lucia, Edith Smith, and Karen Moxley. LOWER LEFT: Keeping a journalism notebook of all articles written and published seems a happy task to Rosemary Di Lucia, Mary Margaret Treschler, William Gal- vin, Peggy Donovan, and Janet Bod- nar. BOYLE—The School Annual People, togetherness, community, form the underlying theme of Boyle's first annual, but Dave Franzetta is also convinced that solitude is necessary at times. As editor, Dave uses solitude to help crystallize the ideas of the year- book. With the first senior class comes the first Annual. BOYLE, Volume I, proposes to be a record of the first four years of this new Diocesan School. While the em- phasis is on the story of the sen- ior year, the staff has tried to show how Boyle High School e- merged from the chaos of Septem- ber, 1962, to a smoothly-running high school in June, 1966, ready to send out the first members of its graduating class. Everyone needs a booster. Members of the yearbook business staff chose Peanuts to help them in their campaign for patrons. Good Grief, we still need money for the Yearbook, says Charlie Brown on the poster that Nancy Kaselonis and Kathy Rousher are putting in the hall. Staff members working on page layouts: Karen Price, Bill Schuetz, Paulette Fetsko, Dave Franzetta, Bob Bost, Edith Smith, Steve Baran, Rosemary Di Lucia and Nancy Kaselonis. An efficient typing staff works at the mechanical details of getting BOYLE to the pub- lisher. Cheryl Kubick, Janet Salay, Angela Strasick, Elaine Nadzam, and Joan McElhinny. Art Staff of BOYLE: Kathy Rousher, Peggy Woolley, and Millie Palo contri- buted and coordinated ideas for making the annual artistically A-l. Artist Ray Gillespie was responsible for most of the art work on the Divider pages as well as those in the opening section of the book. Ever ready with film and flash is SamWorhatch from Hill’s studio who is primarily responsible for the pictures in this book. Forensics Roseann Zaremba attempts to combine all the elements that make for effective speaking: voice, expression, ges- tures, and posture. Though it had been started here two years previously, forensics became increasingly popular during the pres- ent school year. Under the direction of Mr. John Keally, forensics became a '’credit course,” and students participated in tournaments in almost all areas of speech. The Boyle forensics group hosted the district debate tournament for schools in the National and Catholic Forensic League. After a round of tournaments came the presentation of awards. Pictured above is Father Conboy after making the presentations to the winners. Students shown with him are not from Boyle. A group of speech students made the trip to Erie’s Gannon College to participate in the Student Congress there. Discussing last minute plans with Mr. Keally are David Tarasevich, Don Carney, Frank Ruffa, Dennis Knapp, Sharon Hobart, John McManigle, Dolores Jacobs, John O’Toole, and Patricia Patterson. Drama The often-expressed wish for school productions was satisfied this year with the organization of the Drama Club. More than sixty students manifested their extrovert ten- dencies by joining the group. Nor did they begin on a small scale. Less than a half year after it began, the Drama Club staged Arsenic and Old Lace, a play of hilarity and homicide, called one of the fastest and craziest comedies of the American stage. The play had a three-night run and set a precedent for future productions. Where could we be married in a hurry--say tonight? Mortimer coaxes the ready-to-be-coaxed Elaine Harper (Marita Miles). Get out of here! Do you want to be poisoned? Do you want to be killed? Do you want to be murdered? screams Mortimer as he drags Mr. Gibbs from the two sweet old ladies (Bonnie Shank and Cheryl Ku- bick) who have determined to bring peace through arsenic to another old gentleman. A typical scene on stage for many weeks before opening night, February 12, was this one, showing the cast readying for the production: Steve Hor- vath, John McManigal, John O'Toole, Fred Radison, Cheryl Kubick, Bonnie Shank, John Tov- Hn, and Dennis Knapp. Yeah, I'm a playwright. Oh, this being on the police force is just temporary . . . twelve years, explains Officer O'Hara (Bill O'Rourke) to the astonished Mortimer Brewster (Timothy Lynch). Music—Melody at Boyl The beat of music is everywhere . . . studied, subdued, confined at first, but breaking out eventually in a swelling chorus of sound called the Christmas Chorale and the Spring Concert. Sister Marie John, S.C., heads the music depart- ment which now includes a general music course for freshmen, a sophomore chorus, a glee club, a band, a folk singing group and a folk dancing group. LEFT: The glee club performed at Carnegie Mu- sic Hall this year, participating in the 29th annual United We Sing, Christmas Festival.

Directing, encour- aging, keeping spirits joyful and voices har- monious is Sister Ma- rie John. Without her, Boyle's music depart- ment just wouldn't be. With four years of experience behind them, members of the glee club sing at their last Christmas program here. Other public appearances were at the Carnegie Music Hall, at Boyle's Spring Concert, at the Diocesan Music Festival, and at adjudi- cations at Canevin. Judith Needham, representing France, carries her symbolic offering of mistletoe to the Christ Child. Christmas at Boyle Christmas at Boyle means many things: the expectancy of ad- vent, the joy of anticipation, the tedium of practicing, the satisfac- tion of performing. It means the Christmas pageant, carols, vaca- tion; it means making others happy; it means CHRIST. BELOW: Close-up section of the band at the Christmas pro- gram: Joan McElhinny, Wanda Schlecht; Christopher Tyner, Thomas Vogel, Robert Stein, Cathy Stecher.

Down under, peering up through the first and second elevation is Gary Lucas, making doubly sure. Year ’Round Activities Something is always happening in the world of Boyle. Activities are not extra-curricular here; they’re co-curricular, going right along with learning activities. ABOVE: The senior Christmas party, first of its kind, sponsored by the Student Council. Hopefully, the senior party will be a tradition here. Andthen there were the record hops! ’65-’66 was a record year for record hops, with Sister Ann Mar- garet attempting frantically to satisfy everybody's re- cord hop requests. After all, there ARE only four week ends a month! Easy does it . . . Don't rub too hard; the paint will come off. Kyran Mangold’s jam-packed car found a ready octet of girls to give it that spring clean-up job. Janet Saunders, Linda Kostelnik, Anna Marie Karadus, Barbara Bes- selman, Teresa Wakefield, Carole Puskar, Judy Sterling, and Angela Strasick. AND INSIDE: Kyran Man- gold, Don Carney, Steve Baran, John Franks, and Bill Andrews. Sharing her birthday cake with several friends at lunch period birthday party is Maxine Larkin. Very obviously overjoyed is Bobbie Cush at left. There were others, too, of course; but an unkind camera . . . This is what we'll do when the customers come, says Arlene Cuzel to Paula Cush, without, however, re- linquishing her baked goods. Ellen McMillan and Nancy Kaselonis think it'll be another successful senior bake sale. School spirit ran high on Black and Gold Day as classes vied with each other in pre- paring for the homecoming event and the hon- oring of the senior athletes. From the van- tage point of the fourth rung on the ladder, Dave Strelecki can afford to ignore the in- structions given by his assistants, Rosemary Di Lucia and Joan McElhinny. A little lower, but still very spirited, are Bob Bost, Ray Gillespie, and Barry Bier. A jolly old St. Nicholas in the person of junior Thomas Vogel makes his appearance (not .down the chimney) at the Christmas party in Room 203. Enjoying the treat with the jun- iors is Mrs. Mammone. Formals A day to remember ... a night to recall. . . Formals andsemi-for- mals . . . For juniors and seniors these are the highlights on the activities calendar: the junior-senior prom and the Christmas semi-formal. Boyle's first formal was held by the Class of '66 in their junior year. An active and enterprising decorat- ing committee transformed the audi- torium into an idyllic Shangri La and seta precedent for future school proms. As seniors, the class used the Churchill Country Club as the set- ting for the junior-senior prom. 'Twasthe week before the prom, and all through the school, not a person was studying . . . there oughta be a rule. I'm dreaming of a ... If teachers only knew— or do they? Thoughts of the coming formal obscure any pretense at studying. Deep in thought are Ray Gillespie, Stan Lowe, John Smiley, Gary Sweeney, Larry Di Giosia, Bill Parnell, and Earl Heminger. They might be thinking about P.O.D.; and then again, they might not. BELOW: The 1965 Formal, Moonlight in Shangri La .

Inevitably It Comes Anticipation Inevitably it comes . . . the last school day, the last class . . . the last assignment. Four years ago, as we sat in the same place, much the same group, listening to Father Conboy, the future seemed far away. Graduation was unreal, hardly thought of. But day followed exhausting (or exhilarating) day; the hours ticked on; days became weeks and weeks wore into months and years. Four years are done. Inevitably it is coming. Graduation Day. The beginning of the end: antici- pation for the great day grows with the sending of commencement announce- ments. Margaret Breznai and Rose Ann Brailsford. They told me it would come . . . the last school day. Don Carney hesitates at the school door. NO MORE TEACH- ERS, NO MORE BOOKS . . . Steve Baran, Bill Andrews and John Smiley envision a bit of heaven in the prospect. Graduation BOYLE HIGH is above all, PEOPLE Vibrant, active, alive Chorus of spirit Groan of tedium Thunder of football Echo of a single step. BOYLE HIGH is PEOPLE Thinking, searching, learning Darkness of ignorance Light of knowing Diligence of study Ambition of success BOYLE HIGH is PEOPLE Spirited, stubborn, talkative Heat of endeavor Stimulation of challenge Strength of defense Exuberance of victory BOYLE HIGH is PEOPLE Growing, meeting, maturing Fear of new fellowship Joy of sharing Boldness of decision Happiness of friendship BOYLE HIGH is PEOPLE Entering, changing, leaving Anxiety in beginning Caution in progressing Pride in seniority Fulfillment in graduation BOYLE HIGH is PEOPLE . . . People it's hard to leave. Typifying the Boyle gradu- ates of 1966 are Joseph Manfred and Linda Kostelnik. But the end is only the be- ginning. These seniors have given serious thought to their future. Joan McElhinny, Bob Ward and John Kopay study col- lege catalogues long before that last day.

SEATED IN FRONT OF THE TEAM, managers: Joseph Ballestrieri, and John Smart; William Schuetz, re- porter and scorekeeper. Although the Lancers went 0-9 this year, the season was more exciting than the record indicates. In at least three games, the Black and Gold were about to outscore their opponent when time ran out. In the South Catholic game, the Lan- cers had the ball inside the Rebels 20 eight times, but were unable to penetrate the end zone and lost 13-7. At Canevin, they were trailing 13-12 in the third period when a pass was in- tercepted and returned 103 yards for a Canevin T. D. In the final minutes, the Lancers were on the Crusader 12, but time again ran out. Finally, in the Rankin game, our team trailed by the score of 24-19 when an alert defensive halfback picked off a Jackrabbit pass. In the final 30 seconds, the Lancers completed 3 passes, and the ball was inside the Rankin 1 yard line when the final whistle ended the game. Even though twenty seniors have played their last game, many juniors and sophomores received valuable experi- ence during the 1965 season and now anxiously await the next season. Rain or shine, win or lose, the var- sity cheerleaders were mere: Shirley Sedlak, Judy Sterling, Kathleen Cullen, Mary Jo Kozbelt, Marie Nee, and Geral- dine Erleba. 108 1 965 Football Season Time out at the Boyle-Greensburg game sees Coach Mannion discussing a play with Lancer quarterback, Skip McGreevy.

The Lancers ended their 1965-66 basketball sea- son with an 8-6 record in the Catholic A League. The record placed them behind South, Central, and North in the standings. Though fourth position does not sound too im- pressive, it is worthy of note that our team had al- most as much to do in deciding the No. 1 teams as did the champs, South Hills Catholic.

CarmenDe Luca and Pat Mulligan tangle with South Hills Catholic Rebels Dave Stobbe and Steve Litz for possession of the ball. The en- tanglement ended in a jump ball. The game with South on the home floor was tough and close with a tie when reg- ulation time ran out. In overtime play, the Lancers were defeated by the Rebels but not before they had been properly scared by the Boyle team. Said the Pittsburgh Press the following morning: Bishop Boyle Scares Rebels; South Hills Catholic Just Escapes, 64-61. Boyle Baskets Dark but decisive, this moment in the Northgame. Gary Sweeney (11) hits on afoul shot with two sec- onds remaining in the game, to give Boyle a 63-60 vic- tory over the Trojans of North Catholic. The game was played on the losers' floor. Carmen De Luca leaps high for re- bound and a tap, good for two points against the Vikings of Central Catholic. The Lancers opened their 1965 Catholic League season with a 74-59 victory over the Vikings. Backing the Lancers in all their contests were the girls cheerleaders, the boys cheering section, and a spirited segment of Boyle students. Although our Lancers did not finish on top in the Catholic A League, Boyle students were Number 1 in the League with their spirit, backing, rooting, and cheering. Win or lose, the Lancers could always be sure that We're all behind you.

Kingpin Kegglers Boyle High, in its first year of varsity bowling, suc- ceeded in capturing the diocesan championship. The title was won with a 31-5 record, with the team posting a high game of 940. Captain Jim Dee claimed the high individual title with a score of 245, and the high three with 627. Though this is the first year in varsity competition, intramural bowling has been on the sports program here for four years. ! !! !!•!!! Jim Dee displays the first place tro- phy won by the team.

Contemplating a tricky shot from the trap is Dave Franzetta. Encourage- ment from Roger Ellis was not in vain. The following shot left Dave three feet from the hole. Fathers’ Club It would take another volume to do justice to the persons and work of the Fathers’ and Mothers’ Clubs of Boyle High. Representationally, the pulse of the group is dependent on Mr. Leo Finegan, Mr. Dominic Gigliotti, Mr. Ludwig Bost, Mr. Eugene Smith, and Mr. Paul Kontul, president of the Fathers' Club. It wasn't a New Years Party, it was Mardi Gras! This round table discussion of Mo- thers'Club officers: Mrs. John Kopay, Mrs. Frank Stecher, president Mrs. Charles Moxley, Mrs. Stanley Lowe, Mrs. Francis Griffin, is the spring- board for sounder relationships with those involved with Boyle High. Mothers’ Club Mrs. Regis Tuite, Mrs. Thomas Bre- znai, Mrs. John McManigal, Mrs. Lud- wig Bost, and Mrs. Eugene Smith take time out to pose in between planning a Mothers' Guild Party. 124 Dietician and cafeteria supervisor par excellence is Mrs. Virginia Def- fenbaugh who manages daily to get out wholesome, tasty lunches prompt- ly for three lunch periods.

You could show closed doors; seniors traveling toward the future; goodbyes; a mosaic of what the years have meant. We are too open for closed doors; we are still living in the realistic present; we are WITH one another and will be yet in some degree even after graduation; we are not fragments set in a pre-planned pattern; That is why we chose a mobile, BALANCE IN MOTION. These free forms mean Boyle High for us: a balanced freedom, beautifully revolving under control. What moves us? Why will we ever be active? Look at the symbols: the open book and pupils . . . study the Bishop's portrait . . . ideals, Christian traditions the instructor's hand ... a challenge the hall telephone . . . communication the bells . . . esthetic values the Church . . . spiritual growth in Christ the mixed crowd . . . school spirit, our friends the players . . . athletic drive, a will to win the pope on stage . . . school activities the late slips . . . organization, rules the pencil sharpener days . . . that make years simple things that make 128 Boosting BOYLE over the Top Top Salesmen 1.
