Just as the warm rays of the sun bathe the fragil bud and each of the petals blooms into its own glory, we too bask in the golden shafts of another sun and blossom forth in our own time. Our sun, as opposed to the earth’s celestial sphere, is bounded by no circumference; it is composed of the limitless influence of family, friends, teachers, and experi- ences. 2 We, like the flowers, have come from tiny seeds. From the moment of our conception to the last beat of our heart, we are growing, reaching out. As children, we were planted into our environment and grew under the guid- ance of the only sun we knew, our parents. Suddenly, our hard protected shell was exposed to the friendly warmth of teach- ers and first-grade friends. Then, the seedling was on its way to being a real person, sharing experiences with others, laughing, crying, becoming. Continually, we grew throughout ele- mentary school, developing into a bud which reached out for more room to grow and more light from the life-giving sun. This need required us to find a newer, more advanced sun” - Boyle. Here at Boyle we reach out to each other, we experience new things, and we learn through these experiences. Be- cause we are a small school, we have the opportunity to know almost everyone, and they know us. We can be individuals and not just part of the crowd. As each petal of a bud fans out in its particular way to become a special flower, we, too, begin to fan out our own special abilities and talents to develop them for the fu- ture. Slowly, over four years, we draw upon more than just Boyle for our growth. Its environment becomes ours. Gradually, we grow out of ourselves and begin to contribute to that environment, not only through jobs in local stores, but also through volunteer work such as Red Cross. In the past four years, we, the Senior Class, have undergone this growth and development process. After graduation, we will still grow, yet, we again become like seeds to be planted in a variety of places. Some of us will continue to grow in this environment, while others will be scattered throughout the world. What- ever and whoever we become, we can say: TABLE OF CONTENTS Guidance...........................................................10 Faculty Administration.......................................... 12 Faculty Directory..................................................20 Black Gold Day...................................................23 Homecoming.........................................................24 Football...........................................................30 Junior Section.....................................................40 Memorium...........................................................48 104 Red Cross..........................................................51 Sophomore Section..................................................56 J.

During the day her jobs vary. She is usually typing letters to colleges or making appointments for students. Her other jobs include: renting ties for 25c plus security— usually keys or wallets—to students caught tie- less, and feeding the fish in the aquarium which stands near the curtained window overlooking the gym. On either side of this office are the offices of the two counselors, Mr. Hensler and Mr. Schugar. A steady flow of students enter and leave the offices. The usual topics of discussion for Juniors and Seniors are colleges and jobs. For Sophomores, the problem is choosing an inter- esting field for college or deciding between col- lege and a business course. Discussions are not limited to academic mat- ters, however. The counselor helps students with any personal problems they wish to bring up. Each year, the counselors, schedule every stu- dent for at least one visit to the office. To provide students with the opportunity to learn about vari- ous colleges, technical schools, and job possibili- 10 ties, the counselors invite Admissions Directors from schools and Personnel Managers from vari- ous businesses to talk with the students. After school each day, the office is filled with students making appointments for the next day or trying to see a counselor then. The answer to the popularity lies in the sign— We’re friendly. li DIOCESAN LEADERS Mr. John T. Cicco, Superintendent The Most Rev. Vincent M. Leonard, D.D. Bishop of Pittsburgh What does it take to run a school? Money and supplies, sure ... but ... it also takes something more impor- tant than this. It takes the skill, patience and cooperation of a number of people who are often overlooked when it comes time for the thanks to be handed out. These people are the administration, the faculty, the secretaries and receptionists, the cafeteria help and janitors who all, in their own special way, keep Boyle running efficiently. The administration consists of the Diocesan leaders, the headmaster and the vice-principal. Every problem that occurs, falls on their shoulders, and it is their effort to overcome these problems, that helps to make Boyle the great school it is. The faculty is made up of number of people who give a lot of time and skill into making us better students and better people. They spend a great deal of time, not only sharing their knowledge with us, but also preparing for their classes. And . . . often times, they can be found after school hours, helping a student to better under- stand a subject, acting as moderator for a club, or just sitting around rapping with students. Besides the administration and faculty, there are those people who could be called Jacks-of-all-trades”. Their jobs, which are too numerous to list, include everything from taking care of tuition money and schedules, to typ- ing absentee lists. A day just wouldn’t be complete with- out a visit to one, or all of them. Also giving time to help students and administration alike, are the cafeteria help. The women who work in the kitchen also spend much time, not only during school hours but also at night, preparing the food. Last but not least, there’s the maintenance crew. They spend much of their time keeping the school as clean as they can. Often they are called upon to do jobs, such as opening locked lockers, which although they are small and insignificant, help the students in many ways. All of these people have helped us this year. They have done their best to make this a happy and successful year. And ... for that we owe them all a great deal of thanks. ADMINISTRATION Rev. Robert W. Habe Sister Anna Marie, V.S.C.

Each homeroom decorates with every- thing from crepe paper and cardboard to paint and paper flowers. The purpose for this intense decoration is twofold. First, set Serra, Boyle's traditional rival, up for mockery, Second, vie for a monetary prize for the best decorated room. Also included in the plans for the day is a live wire . A catchy phrase for the “live wire” is chosen, and is repeated by the students in the halls. The live wire”, a student unknown to the others, counts how many times he hears it. The student who says it to him for the 100th time wins a prize. This year’s phrase was Down the Eagles. A pep rally in the gym finishes the day. Cheerleaders yell, the coaches give rous- ing speeches, players are called to the front, and the students sing the Alma Ma- ter before leaving, to return home where they prepare for the Big Game. HOMECOMING 70 October 9 and 10, homecoming week- end, 1970. The week's activities had all been building to a climax. First the voting for homecoming Queen, then black and gold day, followed by a well-attended pep rally in the auditorium. On Friday night at seven-thirty a crowd of students, alumni, and other interested spectators assem- bled in the lot adjacent to the Munhall Utilities Building. The band had already begun to play as Mr. Bober climbed onto Al Lutheran’s beer truck to lead the big- gest pep rally of the year. The bonfire was then lighted and not until the Spar- tan was burned alive did the crowd begin to disperse. The majority of the students then went to the dance in the school gym. It was by far the most crowded dance of the year, and one of the best organized, even to the point of stamping hands for identification. There were almost as many alumni as there were students and no one even began to leave until ten-thirty. The next evening excitement ran high as we faced our old foes, the Mon Valley Spartans. They had beaten us last year and this was our chance at revenge and a section championship. The rain may have dampened the field and seats, but not the spirit of the fans. The pre-game activities were postponed until half-time, when Richard Baginski introduced the parents of the senior football players, cheerleaders, and band members. The students then pinned flowers on their mothers. After a scoreless first half the Lancers registered the only six points in the game. This resulted from Chris Volk’s in- terception of a Spartan pass, which set up a touchdown drive consisting of two Wargo to Suber aerials. The defense re- mained stiff during the final minutes to protect the 6—0 margin of victory. The high point of the weekend for most students was the crowning of the queen. The court approached the stands and as- sembled before the anxious crowd. Then Beverly Doerr was crowned Homecoming Queen, and presented roses by the former queen, Deanie Hobart. The sen- ior-alumni social followed the game, bringing the weekend to an end.

The only difference is the cast of characters. 1970 was the year in which Boyle High School finally obtained its own practice field. In previous years, the Boyle aggregation traveled from field to field and some of the players insisted that the nickname of Gypsies” was more appropriate than that of Lancers. However, the practice field (and I use the term loosely) was “nothin’ to write home to Mom about,” as the saying goes. The condi- tions of the field reminds one of a rock pile, on which a few grains of dirt managed to find a place. Nevertheless, the Boyle High players became accustomed to such “mi- nor” inconveniences, and they continued to struggle on. Practice was difficult as the players suffered through the ritualistic ordeals outlined for them by novice head coach Tim Bober and his rookie coaching staff. In time, however, the Lancers began to look like a team and showed some signs of greatness when they defeated South Public and Fifth Avenue in the pre-season scrim- mages. “Silent Optimism” was apparent among the players and coaches as they awaited the initial encounter of the season with Turtle Creek. The Lancers seemed to have a formidable squad and were blessed with the return of a dozen lettermen from 1969's 8—2 squad: ends, Tim Barry and Floyd Butler; tackles, Mike Quinn, Jim Butler, and Dennis Dominic; guards, Chris Volk, Tom Gledhill and Dave Tobasco; centers Terry Fries and Ken Weir; halfback Ed Politylo and as quarterback and captain, Larry Wargo. 30 31 Excitement permeated the school as the Lancers pre- pared for their battle with the team from Turtle Creek. The slogan written on the Boyle Scouting Report read “Cripple the Creekers and victory was on everyone's mind. The day of the game had arrived and the players boarded the bus, which would carry them to the battle arena in Turtle Creek. Both teams went out for their pre- game warm-up and last minute preparation for the game was being made by the mentors of the respective teams. The captains from both teams met at the 50 yard line and moments later Boyle had won the toss and elected to receive. Thus started the 1970 season for the Lancers. The game was pretty even at half time with Boyle holding a 6—0 lead via a screen pass from Larry Wargo to Nash Suber. The second half was much the same and going into the fourth quarter, the score remained 6—0. Turtle Creek then proceeded to destroy the dreams of Boyle High (momentarily at least) when they scored on a punt return late in the fourth quarter. The Lancers of Boyle, showing tremendous courage, fought back to break the 6 —6 tie. The team scored in the final two minutes of play on another screen pass from Wargo to Suber and the Lancers had brought home victory number one, 12—6. Next, Boyle traveled to Greensburg Catholic, where they engaged in a great defensive battle. This struggle foreshadowed the rest of the season, but it ended in disappointment for Boyle High fans as the Lancers dropped a 7—0 decision. The winning touchdown came on a last minute quarterback sneak by the Centurions. Braddock was next on the agenda and the Lancers displayed an awesome running attack despite a torrential downpour. The Boyle backs ran wild as Larry Wargo led the rushers by gaining 100 yards and scoring two touch- downs. Bob Spratt and Nash Suber also scored as the Lancer crew pleased a sopping wet home crowd with a 26 —12 victory. 32 A trip to Freedom, Pa. proved quite profitable for the Lancers the following weekend as they defeated the Quig- ley team by a 6—0 count. The game was sluggishly played and the Boyle squad, in spite of the fact that they gained a phenomenal 323 yards rushing, scored only on a quarterback sneak by Wargo. Homecoming means celebration, reunion, a football game and a bonfire. On Homecoming night, the Boyle football team lit a fire of their own as they surmounted Mon Valley to avenge the Lancers’ highly disputed 22— 16 loss of the previous season. Again the defense was superb and although the offense provided only one touch- down, it was enough. The score occurred in the fourth quarter as Larry Wargo connected with Nash Suber on a nine yard pass for the final 6—0 score. Following this most satisfying victory, the Lancers ven- tured to Waynesburg, where they barely managed to overcome the college town team, 7—6. The Lancers, down by six points in the waning minutes, moved the ball to the enemy one yard line, where they were confronted with a fourth down situation. Wargo plunged into the end zone to tie the score, but it was Jeff Tobasco's kick for the point-after-touchdown that was the margin of victory. That was the last win of the year for the Boyle Lancers and their record at that point stood at 5—1. The next two games, played at West Field, both ended in ties. Scott was the opposition for the first of these home games. The North Braddock team is perennially one of the best Class A teams in the area, and they displayed a most impressive defense. The Lancers, however, also had a fine defensive unit and as a result the contest ended in a scoreless tie. Bishop Carroll, in the season’s home finale, scored late in the fourth period to tie the Lancers, who had taken the lead with a run by sophomore Bob Spratt. Thus the Boyle team, having beaten Mon Valley and tied the Crushers, were 1—0—1 in league compe- tition. VARSITY FOOTBALL TEAM The last game, another league one, was versus McKees- port Serra, where Boyle lost a heart-breaking 13—7 deci- sion. The Lancers’ only score was a touchdown by Bob Spratt. The 1970 Lancers finished the season with a respecta- ble 5—2—2 slate and placed two players on the Big 33 Checklist: guard Chris Volk and center Terry Fries. All- Catholic honors went to Volk, Fries, Tony Sunseri and Jim Butler. At the post-season banquet, Jeff Tobasco was named Most Valuable Player, Terry Fries was named Most Valuable Lineman, and Larry Wargo received the Most Valuable Back award, the Student-Athlete award and the Captain’s Trophy. Although the season terminated in a fashion that was not pleasing to Lancer fans, the year in toto was a suc- cess in numerous ways. Once again the athletes of Boyle provided the community with the rugged, hard-nosed, winning football that they have become accustomed to in recent years. Most important, however, the great Ameri- can game of football taught those who were involved in the program the spirit of life—the spirit of Boyle. Boyle can take pride in adding the names of Terry Fries, Tony Sunseri, Chris Volk and Jim Butler in the current book Who’s Who in the High School Athletics”. 35 100% Pure Beef Hamburgers Carlone’s Tempting Cheeseburgers Old-Fashioned Shakes Drive In Crisp Golden French Fries Thirst-Quenching Coke 6001 Buttermilk Delightful Root Beer Hollow Rd.

Moderator ESPECIALLY TO OUR DAUGHTER KATHY MEYER FROM MR. AND MRS. JOHN MEYER RED CROSS Over the intercom a familiar voice in- forms the school of a coming planned visit to Hutchinson Hall, an orphanage near Bellevue; words are traded over the lunch tables and between classes; and after the last period of the day a small group of 12 or 15 people gather in Room 306 to let Sister Goretti know they will come. And this is how Boyle’s almost “underground” Red Cross works. No membership cards clutter the wal- lets and purses of its members; there are no weekly meetings, or dues to be paid; no, not even any elected officers. Yet when Sister Goretti gets an invitation to entertain at an area institution, the re- quest is always amply filled by students from every class. Can a teenage boy find true happiness as a Red Cross volunteer? Considering the opportunities of becoming involved in that frightening world of the com- munity, and experiencing an interna- tional” feeling of accomplishment, it's really very possible. The county’s youth group, is run entirely by young people with a good sense of combining fun and constructive action. From the monthly council meetings at the Chapter Home in Pittsburgh, come the ideas and planning. For providing Allegheny County with smiles, entertainment and concern for hundreds of its aged, veterans, orphans, and hospitalized residents, council, made up of an appointed body of repre- sentatives from area schools, acts as coordinator of events and provides vari- ous and assorted inspirations for pro- jects to be used at the county institutions. While attuned to its own community needs, the Red Cross youth group keeps abreast of international affairs, being the sponsor of foreign orphans, producers of Friendship kits, school chests, and disas- ter outfits, and one of the prime promot- ers of the “Write Yanci” campaign, attempting to get some word of our pris- oners of war. Having a great demand for leaders, the Red Cross trains its own each year by sponsoring the annual leadership Devel- opment Center at Grove City College. For one week, youth group staff members teach leadership skills and discuss as- pects of community living with represen- tatives from all over the state. Sessions on communications, meetings, and work- ing with people are combined with dances, picnics and a Ruby Begonia tal- ent show. Involvement is at a peak, and the commitments made are sincere and never forgotten. The Center provides the stimulus for a year's worth of effort to- wards helping the community. Red Cross Youth have taken the motivation of a few and turned it into the happiness of many. But council is not an isolated group of people, handling intangible goals and un- real ideals. The work load goes out to the schools in the areas around Pittsburgh. Among the outlets of all this stored-up involvement is Boyle High School. While the cry of “make nutcups not war” filters out from the Biology lab at Halloween, Christmas, Thanksgiving and Easter, the favors for hospital patients are not the only products of Boyle’s Red Cross. The group produces pounds of smiles on old people’s faces, bushels of laughter from small children and a good share of personal happiness that goes to all who are involved in the activities. Accordians, guitars, dancers, comedy skits and FF-key voices make up the greatest part of the variety shows pre- sented at the request of Homestead’s Willis Center. In the dining room on the lower floor, between wheel chairs and meal tables, weave the sing-a-long group, trying to carry most of the words to Puff the Magic Dragon or Day is Done. Shows are evenly balanced for both the older listeners and the young people who have to spend time at the center. Dancing a fast polka, or getting Sister Liguori to do the Holly- Gully, is usually on the program. So while the accordian sings, the group joins in exhibiting “unique” dance skills to the patients. Although the Red Cross has perpetu- ally had the image of being an organiza- tion of old women who run out into the battlefield mercifully handing out band- aids, Boyle people have overcome this false impression and attracted a good number of boys as volunteers. Male in- sight into basketball, pool, and touch football come in handy at the almost an- nual visit to Hutchinson Hall. For one Sunday afternoon, the group takes over a tiny row of houses built around a court- yard, each supposed to model a family home for young people. Twelve to fifteen children prove to be quite a task to enter- tain for some hours. However, guitar mu- sic and light voices blend well, creating a moment of “forget”, when the institution is no longer so impersonal and there is someone who cares. While Christmas Eve usually means the family gathered before a great fire, singing away the cold and snow and time before morning, to Sister Goretti and the Red Cross group it means a very special visit to Homestead Hospital. From floor to floor the group moves softly along halls with words of “Silent Night and “God Rest Ye Merry Gentle- men” resounding in the rooms. Christmas then is making that old man tap his foot to the music against the bed clothes, the woman in 215 think of other things than the pain in her chest, and the girl laughs who had cried all day at the thought of being away from her family on Christmas morning. With the spring come series of kids, equipped with sponges and buckets to do battle with every make of car that pulls into Leo’s gas station. Paper bun- nies attached to nutcups begin to line up on the lab tables of 306, and in appeal for summer volunteers at the district hospitals resounds through the halls. The delegate from Boyle prepares to attend the Grove City Center and fresh- men make plans for completing a school album that will be exchanged with some foreign country. A familiar voice comes over the inter- com informing . . . words between classes . . . and a small group of 15 people gather in . . .

A Jayvee finds him- self sandwiched between two forces; the glory and prestige of the upper-class ath- letes who play in the varsity contests, and the hustling and eager freshmen threatening his position from below. The J.V. player regardless of the sport, clings to the hope of some day becoming a var- sity star. The sophomore year is the most tiring and rugged period in a career in any high school sport. It is usually during this time when a player may decide to quit the team or, when he may see a ray of hope, to play on the varsity in the future. Only a select group of sophomores get the oppor- tunity to join the varsity in a game, and an even smaller num- ber earn letters. Our student body virtually ig- nores the junior varsity teams. No one cares to go to a game just to see the sub-team play. How- ever, the Jayvees continue to condition and practice, knowing that their chances to get into a varsity game are slim. They real- ize that a team cannot be suc- cessful if it does not have depth in its bench. This is where the sophomores' opportunities lie. The junior varsity players cannot ignore the possibility of some day being called upon to replace an injured starter. Z9 The ultimate dream of a J.V. player is to start in a varsity game. He cannot wait until he can pass his lowly sophomore stature to the upcoming frosh. The menial tasks, such as carrying the pads up and down the hill, to and from daily practice are a joy to leave behind. The future of the junior varsity player is the glory of a varsity position, and the future glory of the varsity depends upon the junior varsity. 69 70 Boyle's sixth annual Semi-Formal, the “Jingle Ball,” was held on Wednesday, December 30, from eight until eleven at the Duquesne Country Club in West Mif- flin. After arriving, checking coats, adjust- ing corsages and boutonnieres, and re- ceiving their dinner reservations, the participants began assembling into groups and enjoyed the music of the “Moffet” until dinner was served. After dinner, Senior Class President “Bags Baginski escorted Sister Liguori, the Class Moderator, to the front of the hall and expressed the thanks of the Jun- ior and Senior Classes. He then pre- sented her with a bouquet of red roses. Dancing followed until eleven, which officially marked the end of the Semi- Formal. But for many, eleven o'clock was only the beginning: the beginning of the long night of parties ahead of them; which, together with the Semi-Formal it- self, made this night one that many would not forget. Have you ever noticed those new people at Boyle this year? Especially the girls in those spiffy r ew uniforms. Well, I’ll let you in on a little secret, they’re the Freshmen. The new look for the new people. The ones with the fresh ideas . . . that give Boyle its mark of distinction. In case you’ve forgotten, I’ll fill you in on just what it's like to be a Boyle Freshman this year. Kevin Barry Susan Daniel Bascovsky Batko Robert Bingham ROSH Timothy Blankenship Deborah Bollens F? John Borsch After the first day or so we were confronted with a schedule, containing a jumble of letters and codes, and then expected to follow with skill and procession. We met new faces, new people, and gradually associated them with names. Within a few weeks we no longer said we were from St. Mary’s, St. Michael’s, or St. Teresa’s, etc., but from Boyle; a united class. Isn’t that what Boyle is all about?

Sister Mary Patricia, our librarian, gives the Fresh- men an introduction to the library and its many facilities. Also, we are to become bilin- gual, that is, speaking two languages. These classes offer something new, a chance to learn and study, not only the way people speak, but also their way of thinking and living. In Mademoiselle Kratzenberg’s French Club, the officers and club members keep busy with a few projects. Earlier this year they had a sta- tionery drive which proved very successful. In Hermanita Ursula’s Spanish class, the use of charts and records gives the class a deeper knowledge of the Spanish culture. Senora Flesch uses the tape recorder to drill, and it gives the students the advantage of hearing a native speak. Mary J.

At an assembly, 16 candidates were selected, 4 for each office. The week follow- ing, you might of thought the third floor was a newsstand with assorted posters and literally hundreds of tiny orange dots. When elections fi- nally came up, Boyle again succeeded in a newly started tradition, a Gress as our leader. This year it would be Charlie. Anthony Verbanick Mary E. Vojtek Walter Wdowiak Joseph L. White Linda Wilbik David Williams Robert Wooley Paul Yobbi Alan Zatek Missing: Pasquele Cardomone ———— Throughout the year a great number of Fresh- men maintained themselves on the honor roll, striving to show their ability. Also, this year the Freshmen had a retreat to give us a deeper un- derstanding of Christ. The retreat went rather well with various decorations, including a beauti- ful banner. The banner was a flower with the word life on it, the theme of our retreat. Then before we know it, the year passes, and we find ourselves filling out course selection sheets. We now prepare ourselves to become Sophomores. Now maybe we are a little wiser, a little more experienced; yet, we will have many happy times remembering all the naive Freshmen volunteering for Pep Assemblies, Paraliturgicals, and even the more daring . . . joining the year- book staff. FRESHMEN SPORTS FRESHMEN BASKETBALL TEAM Future Varsity basketball and football players, under the dis- guise of Freshmen, are showing great promise. Both teams tal- lied fantastic records this sea- son. The Freshmen football team, under the brave leader- ship of captain Gary Gill, cap- tured the league championship title. Both teams are looking for- ward to their entrance into J. V. competition next year. 81 FRESHMEN FOOTBALL TEAM AN INTERVIEW OF WRESTLING COACH TIM BOBER AND A PLAYER Q. Were you pleased with this year’s wrestling season? Coach: We didn’t do as well as we thought we could. Bill's accident hurt the team. Player: We could have done a lot better with Kuc. Q. What makes a winning wrestling team? Coach: Dedication and long hours of practice. Player: A lot of hard work and practice. Q. What were the high and low points of the sea- son? Coach: The loss to Central was the low point and the victory over Serra was the high point. Player: The loss to Central was a bad defeat and the win over Serra was the high point of the sea- son. Q. Describe the most important part of wres- tling. Coach: Discipline. Player: Practice and good moves. Q. Did any weight classes or wrestlers excel more than the others? Coach: I think that Tom O’Connor, Dennis Domi- nick, John Chapko, and Dave King all had a fine season. Player: Denny and Ape did real well this season. Q. Comment on the tragic accident of Bill Kuc. Coach: Bill’s accident was a freak of nature that couldn’t have been prevented. Player: It was a bad accident that really hurt the team. Q. Who was the toughest team you faced? Coach: Immaculate Conception. They were a team of experienced wrestlers who’ve been wres- tling since grade school. Player: I.C. and Canevin. Q. Do you feel the students at Boyle have shown enough interest in the team? Coach: No, we have only one-third the attendance that we should be getting. Player: The students should attend the matches because it helps team morale. Q. What perspectives does the team have for the future? Coach: Although we lost three starters this year, we’ll have seven wrestlers with two more years of wrestling. Player: We’ll have a good, experienced team next year. Q. What were the team’s strong point and weakness this season? Coach: Our strong point was that we had fewer pins and more decisions which is good. Player: We had a lot of wrestlers that could remain strong for the whole three periods. VARSITY WRESTLING TEAM 84 R.V. Anderson Funeral Home Inc. 806 West Street Homestead, Pa. 15120 ALFRED M.

The fash- ion show was sponsored by the Mother's Club. Stores participating in the event were: The Robin Shop, The Dress Shop, The Fashion Shop, Grin- berg’s, Bonnie's, and Hyman’s. The clothes worn by the girls were the latest in fashions; from the most “in hot pants to a display of elegantly de- signed prom gowns. Under the direction of Sister Carla Ann, SC., the fashion show proved to be an overwhelming success. The girls put in many hours of preparation to make this year's show their best. TO THE GRADUATES OF ’71 May every blessing this life can hold Be yours in the fullest measure. May content, that is better than gems or gold.

The generous free shots given to the Faculty by the Varsity were in vain, for the Faculty could not get the better of the Lancers. Even the efforts of the “Gorgeous” Faculty cheerleaders could not cheer them on to a victory, although they did a good job trying. FACULTY 46 The Lancers outrun the Faculty once again. ALUMNI- VARSITY The Boyle Alumni played the Lancer Varsity team, April 3, 1971 in St. Mary’s gym. The Alumni featured many Boyle stars including Ruben Montanez, Pat Mulligan, Bill Mattiko, Tito Rosario, Car- men DeLuca, and Bob Pacacha. The first four were Roundball nominees. But the Lancers were too much for the Alumni as they defeated them 101—68. The Lanc- ers countered te Alumni attack with their own Roundball player, Ruben Rodriguez. Along with him were Tom McCafferty, Jack Linsenbigler, Tim Barry, and the rest of the Lancer team. POCKETFUL OF MEMORIES The Prom Court and their escorts, from left to right: Dave Cain and Sue Becze. John Gidel and Lynn Wonsock, Ed Laughlin and Kathy Carson, Rocky Prosdocimo and Suzanne Donovan, Kathy McCafferty and David Tobasco, Pam Wotosek and Bill Starkey, Cindy Grove and Tom Maletesta. On May 21, the Junior Class sponsored the 1971 prom, titled this year, “Pocketful of Memories”. The location of this formaal event was the foyer of the Carnegie Music Hall in Oakland, and the music was provided by Pat Oliver's Trumpet and Orchestra. The Prom Queen and her Court were selected by nominations and elections by both Senior and Junior classes. Junior Court nominees were Sue Becze, Kathy Carson, Janet Erleba, Cindy Gaston, Laurie Tupi, Marian Vanek, and Lynn Wonsock. Senior Court Nomi- nees were Beverly Cush, Beverly Doerr, Suzanne Donovan, Cindy Grove, Karen Kopko, Kathy McCafferty, Ann Louise Munson, and Pam Wotosek. After an election during the second period, the final Junior Court members, Lynn Wonsock, Sue Becze, and Kathy Carson, and Senior Court members, Pam Wotasek, Kathy McCafferty, and Cindy Grove were selected. Suzanne Donovan was voted to be Queen of the Prom. Many hours of hard work by the Junior Class contributed to the final goal of lowering the price of the prom ticket. Some of these events held were a spaghetti dinner and a bake sale. The evening was truly beautiful and provided a true “Pocketful of Memories” to all those who attended.

Each club has two essentials: the mod- erator and the members of the club. A leader unites and helps develop the in- dividual skills of each one. The members willingly learn how and when to compro- mise for the good of the club. Other than the main essentials there are many minor ones, like common inter- est and pride in oneself.

Under the direc- tion of Mr. James Belles, Drum Major, Chuck Kritko and featur- ing the Golden Girl, Terri Fu- nyak. This was the opening announcement heard through- out the marching season for the Lancer Band. The voice of the announcer was Mr. Richard Munoz, director of the junior band, brass chorale and dance band. While marking time, a shrill whistle signaled the step off into a variety of the band’s marching maneuvers. Among them was The March of the Olympians which proved most enthralling. The majorettes captured everyo- ne’s attention with the use of fire batons.

They feature an array of classical to contemporary selections. The senior and junior band practice long and hard to make each of these concerts a lasting mem- ory. Last year’s spring concert may be the most memorable. It was the same concert that the Lancer Band presented on the steps of the Capital Building in Washington, D.C. This year's spring concert had a sad note hanging over it. The musicians played their best be- cause it would be the last time Mr. Belles stood before them as their director. The theme from Love Story, directed by Mr. Munoz, was dedicated and played to him as he sat with the band. The band members and majorettes will miss Mr. Belles very much and will always re- member the dedication and pride he had for the band.

The 15 new members and the 20 previous members are living examples of these characteristics. A ceremony was held this spring that is held every spring, the induction of new members into the National Honor Society. The address to the old and the new members was given by a person familiar to Boyle and the NHS, Sister Ann Margaret, S.C. Sister, who is presently principal of Sacred Heart High School, was previously a member of the Faculty here at Boyle and the first National Honor Society moderator. A new thing was added to the membership of the NHS this year. Three Sophomores; Mark Slivka, Teresa Giovannini, and Diane Dzurikanin were inducted as provisional members, in addition to the 10 Juniors and 5 Seniors inducted in the candle-lighting ceremony, traditional to the NHS. The inductees held lighted candles as the pledge of membership was repeated. After the formal ceremony, a social was held in the library for the members and their families, sponsored by the Senior National Honor Society.

The Senior Class presented Wil- liam Shakespeare's classic tragedy of circumstanced plagued lovers on four consecutive performances. One of the first problems encountered by Mr. John Bobinski, Director, was to pick the play itself. After a long period of thought, Romeo and Juliet” was finally decided upon for two reasons: (1) the absence of royalties and (2) all the preceding plays had been more or less comedies . . . above: The famous Balcony Scene; right: Juliet listens in disgust as Paris plans their wedding; below: Friar Lawrence (Russ Miller) as he officiates Romeo and Juliet’s marriage below: Romeo explains to Benvolio how he under- stands love; right; Causing a scene at the ball is Tybalt because he spies a Montaque in the household Since “Romeo and Juliet” was written in the 16th century, some of the lan- guage was difficult to understand. There were a few scenes and characters that were unessential to the play as a whole. Revision and editing of the script was done by Mr. Bobinski and Martha Wil- liams, Producer. Tryouts for the female parts were held on three consecutive afternoons. The male parts took longer, because of the abundance of the people who tried out for the parts. Finally the members were selected ... a good choice by the job they did. 129 The transformation of the stage and balcony into a street in Berona and a room in the Capulet house was per- formed by a group known as the Stage Crew. Not enough recognition was given to Mike Hreha, Judy DeMartino, Steve Sakalik, Suzie McMeekin, and Paul Dusch, who donated many hours after school and on weekends. Music and choreography were two ele- ments that gave the play that added touch. Miss Janice Oliver choreographed the dance in the Ball scene. At the Ball scene, too, Paul Dusch, an accomplished vocalist, sang a solo version of Romeo and Juliet”. Terry Sutch, a gifted senior pianist, demonstrated her ability throughout the play with the overture, which she arranged, and the musical in- terludes. Practices took on the air of tenseness as opening night drew closer. Prepara- tions for the play were long and hard. At one time some students didn't think that all the work would be done. But finally, the curtain rose on May 6, at 8:00 P.M. and continued for the four consecutive nights. above; Here we see behind the scenes as Dennis Stacer controls the center light on the cast; below; Mercutio after he challenges Tybalt is shown with Romeo and Benvolio as he dies • denior Pareri Lining I' utlv$a.

After assem- bling in the Boyle auditorium to don their caps and gowns, the Seniors proceeded to the Church at 7:30. Richard Baginski, Sen- ior Class President was also lector, reading the prayers and the Epistle. Father Thomas Murphy of Resurrection Church, delivered the homily, which focused on the “City of God.” After the mass, the graduates and their families went to a social in the gym, sponsored by the Freshmen Class. Rosanne Clementi, valedictorian, addresses fellow graduates of 1971. “Good Evening, Reverend Fathers, Sisters, Faculty, Parents, Fellow Graduates, and Friends: Today, as a class, we are leaving an experience that has spanned four years and encompassed many areas of growth. We are accepting diplomas as a representation of all that has been learned and experienced ... not just intellectually . . . but emotionally, physically, and spiritually. Our diplomas are not mere rewards for credits earned or courses taken. They signify the whole experience of Boyle High School. Because of this, the reception of a diploma and the holding of a commencement ceremony achieves much greater meaning. Today for a few moments, we can reflect of the significance of our four years together. The very fact that we are here today—together—demonstrates a community that we share with each other. When we entered Boyle as Freshmen, we were 155 people—of diverse backgrounds and interests. Boyle High School brought together 155 unique persons. Each one of us possessed an individuality that was his alone. Through our four year experience, we have blended uniqueness with oneness and have become a community. This process of becoming was not always easy. There were struggles—accepting differences, and attempting to understand our differences. We have learned to work together through constant sharing. At our last Senior assembly, Father Habe remarked that he was always impressed by how well our class worked together, how well we got along with each other. By the many activities we have shared in common, we have been able to see the value inherent in each other. We have come to appreciate the uniqueness of each individual in our class. So many events have occurred, Senior year in particular, that have made us realize the value of the person sitting next to us. From the first football game of the season to the final performance of “Romeo and Juliet” students have struggled to put things together. From our first trig class in September to our final English class last week, Boyle High School has not been an experience in isolation, but one that has been continually dependent on each other for fulfillment. We have met many of our friends at Boyle—people and experiences that we will never forget. Graduation speakers often choose “going forth into the world” as an appropriate topic for a Graduation Day Address. We are not going forth into the world, we are simply broadening our scope. Boyle High School has been a small world for us. During the course of our four years at Boyle, we have made choices—not just as students, but as whole persons— that have given us a life experience. We have taken certain options—our choice of jobs, college, friends, and we are already emersed in life. Some of our choices may have been wrong ones, some have perhaps hurt us, some could have set us back. We have learned the effects of many of our choices—both short term and long range. We have been vitally involved in life for the past eighteen years—not merely preparing for it. Our choices have pointed us in certain directions, and now we have it in our power to make our world. Gerald Vann once wrote that ‘All living is making, and the aim of education, therefore, is to produce makers, to produce men and women who will think of life as a whole, of all life as something to be created by their efforts ’. Now—whether or not we fulfill our goals, is dependent on us. We must continue, for the remainder of our lives, this process of growth. Now that we are graduating, we are leaving the security of a familiar environment and are reaching out for something more—that is good. Reaching out and changing invites growth. I would like to leave you with a quote from E. E. Cummings that expresses what I wish for all of you today, 'you should above all things be glad and young. For if you’re young, whatever life you wear, it will become you; and if you are glad, whatever’s living will yourself become.' Congratulations.” Growing . . . it’s all around . . . years of sharing ... of loving ... of cheering . . . of withered flowers ... of parties and picnics . . . rememberances of to- getherness . . . tears.
