English Grammar and Composition XU3C1C )l V II THE MAGNET BUTLER AREA SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL BUTLER, PENNSYLVANIA VOLUME 61 SENIOR ISSUE JUNE. 1962 This second year at 165 New Castle Road has found an entirely different atmosphere across the campus. Both students and faculty know the school better; the days of mass confusion are decreasing in number. We all feel more at ease in Butler High, as any observer realizes when he hears the Alma Mater proudly sung by everyone in the 2300 student body. New zest has gone into studying, our new cross-country team has taken honors in state competition, the clubs have increased their membership, and large audiences have flocked to school events. A wonderful school spirit invaded our “home,” and w'e are quick to show it off. From Butler High will go a versatile group of citizens into communities and jobs throughout the world — possibly even to other planets. PROJECTIONS THE MAGNET 1962 Between classes numerous students take advantage of the warm weather by using the outside walkways. Here some walk toward the academic buildings after coming from the shops. At the sound of the morning bell, students begin flooding the halls on the way to their homerooms. The variety of activities and subjects we enjoyed here have laid a foundation for any career we wish to pursue. Our school may be represented in the United States Congress, the 1964 Olympics, Wall Street, the Broadway Stage, and the Peace Corps. We shall be at home in Brisbane, Caracas, Rangoon. Helsinki, as well as New York. The influence of this school will not be confined to its 92 acres. The fondness and pride we have developed for Butler High School are not feelings which will soon be forgotten. Although we shall all lead very different lives in the future, this campus will always be “the one that binds.” Each day we pass through these halls, almost unconscious of their existence; someday we will return and recall the days when we were part of “mighty Butler High.” Before and after school students congregate in the student lounge. Here Fred and Sue discuss their week-end plans. UNLIMITED Looking out of one of the windows in the hall of the gym, we can see the front of the school which includes the cafeteria, auditorium, and the bus loading zone. 3 FUTURAMA . . . The above view of the rear of Butler High School is one that is not seen by many students. At left, Mr. Klein gives special instruction to one of his students during auto body shop. 4 This is one of the many areas in the cafeteria that provide Joyce Wile, as well as many other students, with a place to study before school or while waiting for the buses after school. A new slant on a familiar view shows the court in the center of the academic buildings without the students hurrying to classes.

Although some students drive to school, there are a great many who ride buses. Here we see a homeward hound group waiting for their bus under the sheltered loading zone. OF OUR CAMPUS This view of the two hundred wing is seen primarily by those who have classes in the vocational shops. •7 ATHLETICS 30-67 ACTIVITIES 68-117 ADMINISTRATION AND FACULTY 118-143 STUDENT BODY 144-224 9 I SCHOOL LIFE Along with everyday occurences at Butler High, there are many new and interesting experiences id our school life. Together they prepare us for a future of projections unlimited in an ever-changing world. I Butler High, along with the rest of the world, was deeply saddened by the untimely death of the great diplomat, Dag Hammarskjold. PEACE ON EARTH AFS Candidates, Dave Hindman, Phyllis Kummer, Gary Davis and Joe Douthett wonder which of them will be chosen to represent the United States abroad. 12 Dagmar Schneider-Ludorff Each year BHS students as well as the community support a vigorous drive to raise funds for the American Field Service. This money is used to send Butler High students abroad and to bring foreign students here. Last summer the Butler Chapter of AFS sponsored Judy Jaffe’s two month visit in Holland, while this fall it brought us Dagmar Schneider-Ludorff from Germany and Romeo Elbinias of the Philippines. But Dag and Romeo, our new-found friends, bring us more than friendship. They give us a much broader understanding of other nationalities. As this exchange program grows our country can improve its foreign relations greatly and as we come to know each other, we of all nationalities can learn to get along together and live in happiness, peace and prosperity. This is what the AFS does for us. OUR SCHOOL DAY BEGINS . .. “Today is Friday, November 10th,” Debby reminds the student body as she begins the daily devotions. Anyone can tell it’s Friday just by the expression on her face. As the rest of the gang catches up on the latest gossip, Bonnie races to find the hypotenuse of a certain right triangle before 8:15. Push a little harder, girls. There’s a service station just down over the hill. 15 Teachers are not infallible, hut doesn’t Mr. Atwell’s class seem to he enjoying his misfortune just a little too much? Shine, anybody? Buy a slave from Latin Club. Here, Slave Maggie strives to please Master Bob. “Step right up, everyone! Get your ticket for tonight’s game, solicits Carol, but Gene seems more interested in the content of that little box. 16 Chuch and Jack demonstrate their understanding of circuits in the electronic shop. Can this be the baseball bat that will break Babe Ruth s homerun record next season? NOBODY IS PERFECT! Oh, well — even chemistry students make mistakes! But then, maybe Cathy has found the answer to Mr. Kerr’s long quest for the fountain of youth. 17 TOO MANY? Watch your step boys, forty paperless homeroom students eagerly await your return. What’s the matter, Dave? Did you, by any chance, forget to buy Darlene’s corsage for the Hop? Everybody’s happy in the scramble for a seat at the Pep Rally. The Tornado always makes it a special point to win after they’ve had a Pep Rally to cheer them on. FUN FOR ALL! The Morning After Gang, Beth Grohman, Irene Lafferty, Jim Swift, and Fred Bennitt, spin the latest twists for us every Saturday morning as they hash over the swinging events of the night before. 20 “Be quiet, kids! Just one minute till show time,” warns Sam Ross as Sam Jones, Maria Abrams, Sandy Brown, and Dave Smith discuss which records they will play this morning on Junior Downbeat. It certainly looks as though Mrs. Kerr and Mr. Vlasic had high hopes last Christmas. Oh well, at least they got enough coal to keep their furnaces going until the end of February. “My, it’s hot in there!” Bill and Cheryl exclaim as they step out for a breath of fresh air. And why shouldn’t it be? It’s the Devil’s Delight! 22 IT’S LUNCHTIME AGAIN ♦ ♦ ♦ Could it be romance that lures Nancy and her dirty dishes to the disposal line each day? Cafeteria study halls can be unusually interesting and educational ... if your ears are big enough. 23 Diana! Leibert! Norma! Dianne! Stop that silly giggling and get that mess untangled before Mr. Atwell comes back . . . and don’t snitch any more of those candy bars. “Don’t worry, Mrs. Lindell,” assure Gary, Tom, and John. “This movie has already been censored.” 124 “Say cheese, Lucy,” directs Mr. Bennett. “We want a nice picture of you for the Magnet.” PICTURES AND PARTIES “Here’s mud in your eye!” proclaims Bob at the National Honor Initiation as Greenhorn Dunce Rodney joins Oldies, Anne, Sally and Bob in a toast of celebration. 25 INTERESTING MOMENTS Hazel Bishop, alias Lynn Johnson, hurrys to put the necessary wrinkles on Jonita’s face before curtain time. It’s College Night in Butler again. To how many eager, excited Seniors will this representative sell the glory of Old Clarion State? “Aw, cut it out, fellgrws! You’re tickling me.” 26 Just another of Student Council’s many services — the Service Center. Cut the gab, boys, and make room for cash customers. Whistle while you work, Art, but don’t set the tempo too fast for Joyce’s typewriter. “Come on!” invites Nick, “Free eats!” as the politicians of tomorrow refresh themselves after Student Council’s Leadership Workshop. Oh, the people all stare and loudly declare we'll all have laryngitis in the morning. Are you looking for an increase in box-office receipts? Advertise! “Curtain time is in fifteen minutes,” says Jeannie as she shows Mr. and Mrs. Shaulis to their seats for “Our Town’ . mm 28 There’s not a second to lose after school. Those fleet little yellow buses wait for no one. NOW THE DAY IS OVER. An ice cream sandwich seasoned with a little gossip certainly does hit the spot at 3:30. But why is everyone standing up? ATHLETICS The coaches, faculty, and the student body are proud of the many accomplishments achieved by our athletes. These achievements were made possible by our fine coaching staff and outstanding athletes.

VARSITY . . . Butler High students can be proud of their Golden Tornado this year. Having only five returning lettermen along with a handful of experienced Junior Varsity players. Coach Bernardi and his assistants, Coach Uram, and Coach Bistransin, formed a winning team. The Golden Tornado varsity squad posted a 5 and 4 season. Butler won its first two games with McDowell and Ellwood City, lost the next four with Farrell. Har Brack, Beaver Falls, and Sharon, but wound up its season by defeating Al- quippa, Ambridge, and New Castle. With a new coaching staff supported by a fine school spirit this year and by a lot of hard work the Golden Tornado represented our school in a manner which both students and faculty are proud. The 1963 Golden Tornado should pass a fine season. Having 16 returning lettermen and a year of gridiron experience for the new coaching staff, their projection is unlimited. 32 SEASON’S RESULTS Butler 21 Butler 20 Butler . 0 McDowell 19 Ellwood City . 6 Farrell ___ 6 Butler 13 Butler . 6 Butler „ 18 Harbrack 14 Beaver Falls _ 20 Sharon . 33 Butler 21 Butler 27 Butler 13 Aliquippa . 6 Amb ridge 14 New Castle 7 VIonteleone, Bob Conklin, Larry Vick Bogard, Dave McCandless, Rettig, Jeff Goettler, Gordon Kosenzweig, Lonchena, . . .

VARSITY BASKETBALL The Butler High Golden Tornado Basketball Team had a successful season under Coach Hepe. Butler won 13 games and lost 7 for a .650 average. Four seniors, Jack Hartung, Pete Hanratty, Tom Kerr, and Ed Erdos, played their last basketball game for Butler this year. Jack Hartung was the high scorer in Section 1A play. Besides Hartung, Pete Hanratty, Tom Kerr, Mel Miller, and John McLaren made up the starting five. Due to the injuries of Lee Snyder and Ed Erdos, the team suffered a setback this season. We should all be proud of a job well done by Coach Hepe and the team this year.

SWIMMING SEASON’S RESULTS Similar to that of other sports, Butler High swimming team began its 1962 season under the direction of new Coach Bistransin. The team has a fine record of 11 wins and 4 losses with a remainder of 3 meets to be held. Perhaps some of their success can be attributed to our outstanding Olympic pool.

GYM TEAM Varsity gymnastics under the direction of Coach Paul Uram has made a magnificient showing in its two years as a varsity sport. The team has not lost a meet due to the efforts of Jim Curzi, Ken Musko, Bill Daubenspeck, Dave McKinnis and other outstanding members. Coach Uram has put in much time and hard work in training a winning team. Gymnastics is a sport where a good sense of balance and grace are developed through individual practice. The boys who participate in it are to be commended as they have brought fame to Butler by their winnings and also by their exhibitions of good conduct. 46 GYM TEAM SEASON’S RESULTS Butler -------------- 86% Moniteau ____________ 41% Butler _____________ 87 Mt.

ROW THREE: Liebert Mustello, Ron Rock, Larry Young, Pete DeSantis, Paul Kressin, Harvey Bell, Gary Swanson. TRACK TRACK AND FIELD All men possess three natural skills: running, jumping, and throwing. The opportunity to demonstrate these skills has been provided by a track and field meet. Running events take place on an oval track while the field events are held inside or around the oval. The running events consist of sprints, hurdling, middle distance, and long distance. The field events are composed of the high jump, pole vault, broad jump, javelin, discus, and the shot put. Athletes competing in track must have a high level of strength and endurance, but they also must have a great sense of desire and will power. The head coach of the Butler High track team is Mr. Rosenzweig, who is assisted by Mr. Glenn. Eleven returning letter-men form the nucleus of a good squad. L Mr. Rosenzweig, coach of varsity track, along with his staff, is to be commended for his efforts and achievements. 49 Pete Hanratty shows his championship form during spring practice. Last year Pete broke the school high jump record. 50 Above, Howard Hamrtionds, Don Hinchberger, John Walker, and John DeFoggi prepare for the mile relay race. FRONT ROW: David Eichenlaub, David Gordon. Bill Fleming, Larry Young, Tom Hammonds, John McLaren. BACK ROW: Howard Hammonds, Don Hinchburger, Bob Rothwell, Jack Hartung, John De Foggi, Chuck Moult, Pete Hanratty. CROSS COUNTRY Coach Edward Hepe well deserves the congratulations of all in turning out a very fine cross country team in its initial year. The team sparked by Howard Hammonds made a fine showing in every meet. They also concluded a fine season by taking third place at the PI A A cross country meet at Penn State. At this same meet Howard Hammonds placed a brilliant first. We can be very proud of this new varsity sport. Howard Hammonds here displays the winning form which brought him first place in the state cross country meet. As you can see he left his two opponents far behind. 51 Doug Creamer, Tcm Horwitz, Dave Ford and Gary Davis have been playing hard this year and have proven themselves quite adept in the game of tennis. TENNIS Tennis, which is a relatively new varsity sport at Butler High, requires both physical coordination and endurance. The tennis courts at the school offer excellent facilities for the development of the sport. Under the capable direction of Coach Meisner, the Butler High tennis team is looking forward to an improved record this coming season. Coach Meisner has prepared the tennis team so that they can play against their opponents with confidence. This is Mr. Meisner’s second year of coaching tennis at Butler High. 52 r Tem Horwitz and Doug Creamer practice for a doubles match. The boys are anticipating a good season this year. 53 FRONT ROW: Richard Stroup, Bernard Vensel, Ray Andrews, Bill Barbary, Tom Ellison, Walter Cooper. BACK ROW: Dennis Snyder, Frank Steighner, Ron Hemphill, Mr. Ray, Bob Snider, Allen Melnik, Richard Herlinger. RIFLE TEAM Mr. Ray, Metal Shop teacher of the junior high, has been coaching the new varsity rifle team since last year. In 1961 Varsity Rifle was added to our list of varsity sports. The boys on the team must have keen eyes as well as steady hands. Because of these requirements the boys find this sport very competitive. Our rifle team has a fine standing and these boys deserve a lot of credit. Riflery is not limited to boys alone, but at the present Butler does not have any girls on its rifle team. Part of the rifle team demonstrates different positions for shooting. Mr. Ray gives Bill a few hints to help him improve his score. 55 A few members of the rifle team practice to improve their skill. Senior, Clyde Lutton, is feeling good and seems sure the ball will land just where he wants. With a downward stroke, Dave Ihlcnield gathers momentum to drive the ball down the course. GOLF Above is pictured Mr. Siljander who coaches the golf team. He has held this position for two years. 56 TEAM Larry Weist, Clyde Lutton, and Dave Ihlenfeld are debating who is going to carry the equipment out to practice. Mickey Ihlenfeld, the junior member of the golf team, puts street shoes on after a hard day on the course. Jim Leighton polishes his clubs before a meet. Let’s hope this polishing brings success to the team. 57 As you can see intramural riflery interests many boys. Pictured above are some of the members of the intramural rifle team. INTRAMURALS Lee strokes into bis flip turn amid the excitement of a hectic 100 yard free style race for intramural stars. These hoys take a few warm-up shots before their intramural rifle meet. As is plainly visible, Coach Bemardi takes an active interest in this sport. 58 These boys sure make weight lifting look like a cinch, but they know it takes a lot of effort to lift weights like these. INTRAMURALS “What the Pirates?” No, it’s only the boys in intramural softball out trying to develop their skill. 59 INTRAMURAL SPORTS Gary Neyman exhibits top form as he practices for archery Sam Bello stands prepared as Dave McCandles6 tries to block Sam’s layup. 60 In a close game the possession of a rebound like this could mean the difference between a win or loss. Each boy anxiously awaits the tip during an Intramural basketball game. By their expressions this game is more important than a championship. Intramural sports affords an outlet for those boys interested in a sport but who do not have the time necessary to participate in varsity. For this reason many of the intramurals are the same as the varsity sports, but the competition is limited to that within the high school. Butler High has an extensive as well as a highly supervised intramural system. Boys may take part in basketball, volleyball, softball, riflery, weight lifting, track, or swimming. This variety spans a vast number of interests and it is for this reason that we have such a successful intramural sports program. The men elected to supervise these sports are Mr. Bernlohr, basketball and softball; Mr. Bernardi, riflery; Mr. Voelker, weight lifting; Mr. Rosenzweig, track; and Mr. Bistransin, swimming. 61 GRA EXECUTIVE COUNCIL — FRONT ROW: Peppy Hanratty, Vee Amos, Irene Lafferty, Margaret Bishop, and Nanci Graham.

GRA Throughout the school year there are various intramural sports offered to the girls of Butler Area Senior High School by the Girls’ Recreational Association. Miss Nancy Rodgers is the adviser and is to be commended on the fine job she has done. GRA offers volleyball, basketball, archery, tumbling. bowling, swimming, and trampoline to all girls who are interested. To participate in these intramural sports the girls must give their name to Miss Rodgers and report to the gym at the time for which they are scheduled. 62 VARSITY CHEERLEADERS — FRONT ROW: Peggy Comin. Jayanne Gould. Captain; and Dianna Blum. BACK ROW: Nancy Suchy, Beth Grohman, and Judy Robinson. During the football and basketball seasons the cheerleaders work hard to arouse the school spirit and encourage our athletes to victory. These girls take much of their own time to practice and really deserve a lot of credit. JUNIOR VARSITY CHEERLEADERS — Michele Rudiak, Sue Keck, Mary Turowski, Captain; Nancy VanCrootenbrucl and Sandy Pell. Glenda Eichenlaub is missing from the picture. 63 AT LEFT ARE ORA OFFICERS — FRONT: Jeanne Geibel, President; and Mary Turowiski, Treasurer. BACK: Peggy Hanratty, Vice-President; and Marsha Isreal, Secretary. BOWLING AND SWIMMING From the expression on Connie’s face we can gather that it's a good ball. 64 One for the money, two for the show, three to get ready, now go girls go. The members of each team anxiously await the results of the jump ball. BASKETBALL AND VOLLEYBALL OH Girls! Surely all of you girls aren’t needed to return a small volleyball. Patty displays graceful form in an attempt to gain points for her team. 65 “Watch out, Mirai, here I come.” says Sue as they practice double somersaults. “Don’t be such a sorehead, Glenda,” says Irene. “Anybody can make a mistake.” GRA Can’t we have this orchestra?” Jan asks the rest of the GRA dance committee. What goes up must come down, and for these girls the coming down had better be the easy way. That’s it, Linda, watch the birdie! ACTIVITIES Ping . . . Pong; Ping . . . Pong! Susan and Betty are trying not to break this rhythm. 67 Oops, Here we go again. ACTIVITIES Through dramatics, music, and various clubs, the students at Butler High are able to develop and enjoy their individual abilities. These talents will.be projected far into our country's future, adding to, and enriching our culture. Emily painfully makes the transition from the world of the living to that of the dead as she leaves behind not only family and friends but also a world which she has just begun to appreciate. ALL SCHOOL PLAY - OUR TOWN” “George ... I think maybe the moon’s getting nearer and nearer and there’ll be a big ’splosion.” 70 Mrs. Webb and Mrs. Gibbs discuss everything from highboys to Paris over Mrs. Webb's beans. This year, Butler High’s stage became (.rover’s Corners, New Hampshire — the setting for Thornton Wilder’s Nobel Prize-winning play OUR TOWN. A fine cast projected themselves into the aspirations, sorrows, and joys of the citizens of the quiet little town from 1901-1913. Hard working crews under the capable direction of Mrs. Martha Seyler added to the mature interpretation of this play to present Butler with exceptional enter-tainment on November 10 and 11. “Yes, sir. I tell you. you’ve got to look both ways before you cross Main Street these days. Gets worse every year.” “The cottage, the gocart, the Sunday afternoon drives in the Ford, the first rheumatism, the grandchildren, the second rheumatism, the deathbed, the reading of the will, — once in a thousand times it’s interesting.

Hours of diligent practice under Mr. Gibson’s capable direction developed the potential of the band members in musical formation, and marching skills, These talents were achieved not only in the month of August but also in individual and small group practice outside of class during the school year. One of the most demanding responsibilities was the job of .drum major which was capably performed by Glenn McCrea. Certainly the rallying strains of the band’s well-known numbers, along with the performances of the drill team and majorettes, accounted for a great deal of school spirit. 76 'Eyes front, lines straight” — Marching Band comes down 'i ‘ t r .

CONCERT CHOIR Officers of Concert Choir play an important part in the success of the choir. This year, the student director was Syd Paul. It was his duty to take charge of the choir in the absence of Dr. Dryden. At such times, he could exercise complete authority over the group. Syd also directed a number in the concert. The assistant director, Dave Parks. Carol Olsen worked this year as secretary. It was her responsibility to take the roll at the beginning of each choir period and to organize the ticket sale for the Spring Concert. The largest Concert Choir in the history of Butler High began early in September to prepare for its long list of engagements. The first performances were on December 14 and 15 during the three Christmas assemblies. The choir presented a cantata and several other numbers including “The Song of Mary”, “Oh, What Can I Give to the Holy Child”, “Beautiful Savior”, and “Cradle Hymn”. After vacation the group continued working to increase its repertoire of songs. The numbers were taken from Broadway musicals, religious arrangements, classical music, and spirituals. During March and April, the students and Dr. Dryden traveled to several area high schools and colleges. Concert Choir also sang in programs for various civic groups in Butler. The year was climaxed by the annual Spring Concert held on May 18. Nostalgically, the twenty-six senior members sang the theme song “Beautiful Savior” for the last time. Members of Concert Choir line up in anticipation of a good performance in the Christmas Assemblies. 81 BOTTOM ROW: Tom Hice, Joan Lang, Kathy Vogt, Mary Ann Boros, George Vcnsel.

A CAPPELLA CHOIR “Doc” looks worried as Anna strains for a note while checking off a piece of music in preparation for the concert. For the first time in many years, the students in the vocal department have had the opportunity to participate in an a cappella choir. Meeting every second period, the group practices selections ranging from religious hymns to lively folk songs. The results of this work were evident in their performances at both the Christmas Assembly and the Spring Concert. Helping Dr. Dryden to achieve this success were the student director, David Smith, the assistant director, Jan Hollak, and the secretary, Mary Ann Boros. These students were elected to their positions at the beginning of the school term by the members of the A Cappella Choir. The director is responsible for conducting the practice when Dr. Dryden is absent. If the director is not there, this responsibility is taken over by assistant. Every day the roll is taken by the secretary who is also responsible for distributing tickets for the Spring Concert and keeping track of the number of tickets sold. Certainly, A Cappella Choir is a welcome addition to the music department of Butler High School. Aha! Last minute cramming takes place in the music department as well as in regular studies.

FOURTH ROW: Dufford, Masters, Dreese, Hart, Bilowick, Fecich, Fair, Wilson, Focht, Bowser, Shide- The purpose of Junior Choir is to train the group on the fundamentals of music. Through the use of various drills and exercises in their “black notebooks”, the one hundred forty-five members learn how to read music and become better singers. After spending a year in Junior Choir, the students are assigned to various groups in the vocal department on the basis of individual tests taken during the second semester. On Mondays only the girls practice, and on Tuesday the boys. This helps the different sections get their individual parts better. The rest of the week the whole choir practices. The results of all this hard work were evident in the Spring Concert. Some people evidently consider a good appearance more important than a good performance.

NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Membership in the Gertrude Reed Chapter of the National Honor Society is the highest scholastic honor that the school can bestow upon a student. In addition to a scholastic average of no less than 4.5, each member must also possess such qualities as honesty, leadership, a willingness to serve, good citizenship, and excellent character. All juniors and seniors who have achieved the necessary scholastic requirements are then rated by their teachers ip the above mentioned categories. Old members are re-evaluated each year. With Hie fine supervision of Mr. Dennis Keiser, this organization offered tutoring services to the rest of the student body and presented a talent show in the annual NHS assembly. Other projects included the traditional banquet in April, and a visit to one of Pittsburgh’s educational institutions. This year the National Honor Society celebrated its third anniversary in our school. Every person at Butler High should be proud of this fine group of students. 86 FRONT ROW: Carol Kurtz, Secretary; Maria Abrams, Treasurer.

In addition to representing the student body, the Student Council of Butler High conducted numerous projects this year. Services were extended to the community as w'ell as to the school. Activities were Bundle Days, a collection of clothing for underprivileged people, Austerity Week, a collection of money for our adopted Korean orphan, Heart Fund drives, the sale of tickets and the sponsorship of programs for the AFS. Early in the school year, a Leadership Workshop was held to acquaint not only Student Council members but also officers of all clubs with their various duties and to give them ideas concerning meetings, projects, and programs. Revision of the Code of Ethics and the printing of the Constitution were additional activities of the group as they strove to attain smoother student government. Activities in the school also included the Honor Scroll for homerooms with the highest grade averages, a new Service Center, the Suggestion Box, get-well ca ds for sick students, and a bulletin for articles to buy or sell. The sponsoring of dances after school, Splash Parties, and Student-Faculty games rounded out an active year for Butler High’s Student Council.

Georgia and Paul demonstrate the many operations that must be done before one page of the yearbook is completed. 90 Phyllis Ragazzo, Associate Editor in charge of Administration and Faculty; Nancy Robison, Associate Editor in charge of Seniors; and Bob Rider, Editor-in-Chief of the Magnet. Each year the most important problem facing the members of the Magnet Staff is — how shall we change the yearbooks? To help them find an answer to this question, the various publishing houses held conferences which the staff attended. Then through innumerable discussions between the editors and advisors the general lay-out, the color and design of the cover, and the size of the Magnet were decided. During the rest of the year- all of the staff members worked long and hard requisitioning pictures, writing captions, designing and redesigning pages. Mr. Palmer, Mrs. Kerr, and Mrs. Becker, besides actually working side by side with the students and helping solve the many large and small problems that plagued them, also offered endless encouragement so that those pressing deadlines would be met. A great deal of credit must also be given to Bill Kidd and his assistant photographers for the giving of countless hours of their time. The cooperation and abilities of the entire staff produced this book. Andrea Kovalchick, Associate Editor in charge of School Life and Activities; Carol Winne, Picture Editor; and Betty Lou Slater, Associate Editor in charge of Sports and Juniors. SKYLINER STAFF Dorothy Derkics Edilor-in-Chiel Maria Abrams Assistant Editor Mary Lee Zorb Assistant Editor Hours of hard work and a great deal of effort brought the first place Columbia Award to our Skyliner this year. Along with their adviser, Mr. Jerome J. McGinnis, the student editors assigned various stories to the reporting staff. After the information was collected and the stories written, they were then checked and sent to the page editors whose job was to set up the dummy sheets filling in extra space with ads and pictures. The Skyliner is a newspaper that is a credit to our school. Nancy, Dagmar, and Romeo check the assignment sheet to find out what their next “scoop” will be. 92 Typing and dictating are two necessary evils in the newspaper business. 93 Members of the Skyliner staff prepare to send out copies of Roto Magazine.

SKYLINER These German Club initiates depict one of the many hilarious stunts they must survive before becoming actual members. DER DEUTSCHE VEREIN German Club seeks to stimulate interest in the German language, literature, anti culture, in a variety of ways. This year a graduate student of Pitt who participated in the Youth Hostel Program presented a lecture and slides on his recent travels throughout Europe. Other projects included singing German carols at Christmastime and sending a Care package overseas. This student organization, with the guidance of their excellent advisor, Mrs. Erma Stewart, adds much to the school scene. 94 Marsha scores another 35 points in the Latin Scrabble game as the others register their amazement. PETITORES SCIENTIAE Each year the members of Latin Club prove that Latin is anything but a “dead language.” Through the use of skits, reports, group singing, and Latin Scrabble, the students are given an idea of what life must have been like in the days of Ancient Rome, when Latin was the language of the day. Under the excellent supervision of Miss Dorothy Doerr, the club also raised money to send two of its members to the annual National Convention of Latin Clubs in Montana. Maggie, Joe, Miss Doerr, and Fred become involved in the ageless tragedy of Medea as she plots the death of her husband and children. OFFICERS: Jim Manor, Vice-President; Cheryl Burgess, Secretary; Maureen Steiner, Treasurer; Fred Bennitt, President. 95 The officers of Spanish Club arc: Beverly Crawford, Vice-President; Andrea Tray, President; Diane Maker, Treasurer; Peggy Hanratty, Secretary. “El Circulo Espanol” was formed in order to study and learn about the Spanish American peoples and their customs. It also promotes a mutual feeling of respect and friendship. Mrs. Pence, who is the adviser of Spanish Club, gave the members a better understanding of Spanish through her knowledge of the language. This year the club ratified the constitution, had speakers who have toured South American countries, had a bake sale, and finished the year with “una Grand a Fiesta.” 96 senoritas catch reading their Spanish newspapers. OFFICERS: Georgia Brose, Vice President; Judy Jaffe, President; Connie Rod-wanski, Secretary; Edie Hutcheson, Treasurer.

Beaucoup d eleves de francais aiment jouer a “Keep Talking” comme ces quatre etudiants dans cette photographic. LE CERCLE FRANCAIS The French Club believes it has something unique in its library which consists entirely of both fiction and non-fiction “livres” written in French. The members learn a great deal about the French language, culture, and literature through the reading of these books. In addition to collecting books for this library, the students also send a Care package overseas each year. At every meeting they are entertained by plays and skits whose participants are fellow members of the club. Under the supervision of Miss Ruth Helm this club has come to play an important role in school life. 97 OFFICERS: John Gloz, Treasurer; Susan Mitchell, Secretary; Tem Horwitz, Vice-President; David Hindman, President. To become a member of the Butler Senior High Chapter of the National Forensic League, a student must be in the upper third of his class and must be personally recommended by his principal. Upon receiving his membership he is awarded a Degree of Merit, indicating that he has successfully accumulated 25 points. This year, under the excellent supervision of Miss Gertrude Ritzert, a tournament was held in which 30 high schools from the Pittsburgh District participated. We can be proud of these students whose speaking abilities will help them be successful after leaving Butler High. Tem and David, with ample reference material close at hand for much needed information, prepare their voluminous notes for the debate. NATIONAL FORENSIC LEAGUE The Thespians work hard to fulfill their desire to promote the dramatic arts in the secondary schools. Every major stage production involves any number of these talented students in every phase of both onstage and back-stage activity. Besides participating in these theatrical affairs, all of the members study, by means of films and demonstrations, the techniques of stage make-up and lighting. Each year they also attend several professional productions and entertain our student body with the presentation of a play in assembly. This highly successful club is under the excellent guidance of Mrs. Martha Seyler and Mr. William Lehnerd. The Christmas program included this scene from 0. Henry's classic “The Gift of the Magi. THESPIANS OFFICERS: Maria Abrams, Clerk; Carol Winne, Secretary; Georgia Brose, Treasurer; Clyde Lutton, President; and Rodney Fritchley, Vice-President. 99 Judy and Betsy ponder the writings of a native of Butler.

PEN AND INK CLUB Creative writing is afforded to interested students through the Pen and Ink Club under the supervision of Miss Gertrude Ritzert. Original essays, short stories, poems, and skits are submitted to the club for evaluation. At the end of the year, each member is furnished with a booklet containing the corrected and retyped articles. LIBRARY ASSISTANTS The Library Assistants under Mr. Albert Miller try to further the relationship between students and the library, stimulate reading interests, improve library service, and help students use the library correctly and profitably. In order to obtain these goals the members spend a great deal of time designing displays for both the large bulletin board and show-place. These students also engaged in such projects as selling pens, Christmas caroling, and attending library workshops. The magazine section of our library serves a very useful purpose in that it makes available recent reference material to the students. Patty is returning magazines, which were used in writing research papers, to the “stacks”.

Under the able direction of Mrs. Grohman, appreciation of the organ and its music grows along with a knowledge of organ literature. Each member is given the opportunity to perform before an audience including the student body at assemblies and various other groups throughout the community. Meetings are conducted at the homes of the students and their adviser. We are proud of this club and the contributions it makes to our school. ORGAN GUILD 102 Carol conscientiously practices “The Angelus” in preparation for one of the many programs that the members of Organ Guild participate in each year. PALETTE ART CLUB Nearly all of our publicity posters for fiances, plays, and special programs were designed and painted by the members of Palette Art Club. Under the fine supervision of Mr. Thomas Crane, the students also worked long and hard on the scenery for all of our dramatic productions. Through field trips and various speakers, the members enriched their knowledge of art. Certainly, without our Palette Art Club, Butler High would lack a great deal of color.

With progress being made each day in the science of air travel and space exploration, this group was able to have vast amounts of material available for discussion at the meetings and for the club scrapbook. Its goal was to further enhance the education of students in the various phases of space science. Many interesting and informative trips were made by the club. These included a trip to Saxonburg for a tour through the atomic reactor plant, one to the missile base in Pittsburgh, and a visit to the Air Reduction Company here in Butler. Mr. Hutchison served as adviser to the club. 'Oh, no, this is the moon,” said Susan to Alex. GEOGRAPHY CLUB Miss Margaret Puff, serving as the advisor to the members of the Geography Club, impressed her students with the importance of geography in their daily lives. Among their projects was a trip to Phipps Conservatory to observe the Fall Chrysanthemum Show and another to Pittsburgh for a tour on the Gateway Clipper. Representatives were also sent to the spring meeting of the Pennsylvania Council of Geography held at Indiana. Certainly, these students put in a very busy and profitable year. • - , former Geography Club member, who has come back to Butler igh as a student teacher, is shown demonstrating the correct ocedure in compiling geographical data. 7FICERS: Jim Sandloop, President; George Presco, Treasurer; salyn Ramsey, Corresponding Secretary; Judy Foley, Recording ■retary; Joe Lucas, Vice-President.

Lehnerd, they learn how to operate the scenery lights, sound effects, and curtains. They put their knowledge to good use by spending many hours setting the stage for assembly programs and participating in the plays and musicals produced by the high school. They also donate their services to charitable organizations that sponsor shows on the Butler High stage. They enhance their knowledge of the stage and receive much enjoyment from such things as attending local theaters, seeing films on certain aspects of the theater, and constructing special effects and equipment. 109 OFFICERS: John Thomas, President; Marsha Cornibe, Vice-President; Emily Smith, Treasurer; Maureen Steiner, Secretary. Students considering the teaching profession as their life’s work find that the Esther Johnson Chapter of the Future Teachers of America answers many questions which they may have concerning this field. Through films, conventions, and speakers from various colleges, the members are informed of the requirements and qualities of a good teacher. During the ’61-’62 school year the students of this club did their share in service to the school and community. The distribution of gifts at Christmas time for the Salvation Army, the sponsoring of an Information Desk in the Student Lounge, and the tutoring of students who are having difficulty with their various subjects are examples of this club’s industry. The selling of book covers enables the F.T.A. to present a $50.00 scholarship to one of its members each year, hoping that that individual may someday help the torch of learning glow a little brighter. Miss Esther Johnson and Mrs. Jane Kerr, two fine members of the teaching profession, serve as advisers to the members of this worthwhile club. John Thomas watches intently as two initiates light the torch of learning symbolizing the goal of the teaching profession. FUTURE TEACHERS OF These F.T.A. members have captured the true Christmas spiA as they gather gifts for the Salvation Army. AMERICA FUTURE NURSES OF AMERICA These future nurses are getting a taste of thei own medicine. The Junior and Senior Future Nurses of America Clubs provide interested girls with the opportunity to learn more about a nursing career. Guiding the members toward their goal of learning about the profession are their advisers, Mrs. C. Michael Spina and Mrs. Mortimer. The active group conducted several projects including a Toy Drive in December in which they collected toys and contributed money to the Butler Retarded Children’s Organization. In addition, programs featuring a visit to a New Castle hospital, and speakers including an X-ray technician, a dietitian, a nurse, and a laboratory technician, helped to acquaint members with various opportunities in medicine. This “consultation” with Dr. C. Michael Spina is similar to many others in which these students will participate when they become nurses.

FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA Under the supervision of Mr. Graham the Future Farmers of America were introduced to the most modem methods of farming. One of the main projects of the Butler Chapter is the livestock ring. Under this plan the chapter owns livestock and awards an animal to one of its members on the basis of interest and need. The boy then returns livestock of equal value to the club. Other activities include a judging contest and a banquet for- members and their parents. In these ways the members prepare for their roles as future farmers of America.

The students who participate in the Distributive Education program, under the guidance ©f Mr. Shaul, are preparing for a future in the business world. After filing applications, each student is given several personal interviews and it is in this manner that the final decision is made as to which position he will hold. Every afternoon they work at various jobs in downtown Butler, thus gaining valuable work experience. The members of DE, together with the Co-Operative Education students form the DeCo Club. The students who take part in the Co-Operative Education program, under the supervision of Mr. Holden, are receiving valuable experience which will enable them to find better jobs in the business world after graduation. The members of Co-Op are employed in the banks and offices of Butler and work at their respective companies every afternoon. The Co-Operative Education students along with the Distributive Education students collected food, clothing, and toys at Christmastime for a needy family.

A great deal of the efficiency of operating Butler High School is due to the work done by our five groups of aides. These are the Attendance Office Aides, the Principal’s Office Aides, the Visual Aides, the Guidance Office receptionists, and the Stage Office receptionists. The one duty which all these aides have learned is the important job of dealing with people. Not only have these students been a help to the high school but they have also gained a great deal of experience which will be valuable to them in later life.

The knowledge we have gained from their teaching will guide us through future years and will enable us to seek our places in this world of unlimited opportunities. ADMINISTRATION DR. HARRIGER Although our Superintendent of Schools Dr. Guy N. Harriger was born and educated in western Pennsylvania, his interest in the field of education has been nationwide. He graduated from Kittaning High School, Clarion State College, and the University of Pittsburg obtaining his Doctors of Education degree from the latter in 1947. Since that time he has been a N.E.A. delegate from the Mid-Western District to San Francisco in 1951, and more recently a member of the committee of 36 superintendents participating in the Superintendents’ Work Conference at Columbia’s Teachers College in New York City. DR. CROSS As a native of Butler, Dr. William Cross attended the Butler Elementary and Secondary Schools. He was graduated from Grove City College in 1934, and received his Masters and Doctors of Education degrees from the University of Pittsburgh. The twenty-six years of professional life of Dr. Cross have been with the Butler Schools. Here he has served as Faculty Manager of Athletics, assistant football coach, head basketball coach, in addition to being a teacher and administrator. His present duties include recruitment of personnel, coordination of curriculum and instructional program, supervision of professional personnel, and director of student teacher program. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ DR. MOORE Dr. Charles Moore has been the principal of Butler Area Senior High School since 1957. He first came to Butler in 1940 and was then a teacher of social studies and assistant football coach. He also acted as head basketball coach during the school year of 1942-1943. In 1943 Dr. Moore temporarily interrupted his teaching career to serve as a Gunnery Officer in the United States Navy. In 1950, the same year in which he received his Master of Education degree from the University of Pittsburgh, Dr. Moore was promoted to the position of assistant principal. In the same summer in which he received his Doctor of Education degree, he was elected principal of the high school. 120 MR. DESIMONE Since February, 1950, Mr. Samuel DeSimone has been associated with the Butler Area School System. He began his professional life here as an English teacher and now holds the position of Assistant Principal, Director of Curriculum and Supervision. In the past he has participated to a great extent in student activities by directing many musicals, minstrels, and assemblies. Mr. DeSimone spent two years with the United States Army Air Force before attending Mount Mercy College. He received his Bachelor of Arts in speech and Master in Education from the University of Pittsburgh. Presently he is working on a thesis for his Doctor of Education degree at the same school. MR. SHAFFER Mr. Shaffer obtained his B.S. degree in art from Edinboro State College. After receiving his Master of Education degree from the University of Pittsburgh, he took additional graduate studies at Carnegie Tech and John Herron school of Art. He is presently attending the University of Pittsburgh working toward his doctorate. Before coming to Butler, Mr. Shaffer served three and a half years in the Armed Service during World War II. In 1947, he accepted a position as an art instructor and in 1961 became Assistant Principal at Butler School. DR. RADAKER As school Psychologist, Director of Research, and Consultant for Juvenile Court, Dr. Leon D. Radaker is often called upon to serve the community as well as our school. After receiving his Bachelor of Science degree in sciences from Slippery Rock State College, he decided to take graduate work for his Master of Science degree in biology at the University of Pittsburgh. Dr. Radaker completed his education at Pennsylvania State University where he obtained his Doctor of Education degree in psychology. During his professional life he has served as a teacher in Butler Senior High School, a lecturer at Pennsylvania State University and Westminster College, and was privileged to study under the Ford Foundation Fellowship. 121 Magdalene Becker Advanced English Magnet Alice Douthett English Edith Ifft English Student Council Jim Taylor presents his side in a debate in Miss Ritzert’s debate class. It looks as though Tem is very attentive. English is a required course at Butler Senior High. Starting with the sophomore class, literature in the form of Ivanhoe, Julius Caesar, and Silas Marner is introduced. Poetry, novels, and short stories make up the major part of the junior year. The literature of Great Britain is studied by the students of the Advanced English and English 12 courses. This year new grammar books were purchased for use for all three classes.

The social studies courses offered in Butler Senior High School are intended to deepen a student’s knowledge and understanding of past and present events. World Cultures, American History, Geography, Sociology, Government and Economics make up this necessary and important branch of learning. These courses are often made more interesting by the use of debates, panel discussions, and special projects. Social Studies trains youth for tomorrow by teaching them to avoid the mistakes of yesterday.

The forty sciences classes a day help prepare hundreds of students for their future careers.

IN MODERN MATH Ellis Love Applied Research Math Solid Geometry Trigonometry Wray Miller Algebra In the field of mathematics Butler High School offers its students a great variety of courses. These courses are well distributed in both the academic and commercial fields. They are intended to train students in logical reasoning, basic rules of mathematics, and the practical application of these rules. In the complex world of tomorrow the math of today will play a big part. Emil Rosenzweig Applied Math FootballTrack 129 Dorothy Doerr Latin Latin Club Ruth Helm French French Club Butler High School offers courses in four foreign languages: French, German, Spanish, and Latin. These courses help students to deepen their vocabularies and at the same time to better understand the country which the language represents. For college-bound students a foreign language is almost a necessity.

The Homemaking Department of Butler High consists of Homemaking I, II, III, and Family Living. In Homemaking the girls learn the basic principles and skills in making clothes, preparing foods, personal grooming, consumer buying, and interior decorating. Family living prepares the students to cope with some of the problems which they will face as modern homemakers. Agriculture I, II, and III are taught in the Vocational Education Department. In Agriculture the students are taught the business of farming, the use of farm machinery, farm management, and marketing.

TALENTS DEVELOPED IN MUSIC AND ART The Instrumental Music Department of Butler High School consists of the Marching Band, which plays at football games and parades; the Orchestra; and the Organ Guild, which plays for the assemblies. Making ceramics, posters for the school plays and sketching are a few of the many projects of the Art Department. In Art I, the basic fundamentals of sketching in five different mediums are taught. In Art II, the students make ceramics, murals, scenic designs, and posters. Advanced students go on to Art III. Future Michelangelos? It’s doubtful, but they are still busily working on their masterpieces. 135 SAFE DRIVERS ARE MADE IN DRIVERS ED. Herbert Elias Driver Education John Stutz gallantly opens the door for Joan I ang as she gets behind Walter Lonchena the driver’s wheel first. Be careful Joan, there are other cars on the road. Driver Education In Driver Education, the pupils learn the rules and regulations that are necessary in order to become good drivers. The mechanics and manipulation of the car are also learned. These basic facts and rules are put to use when a student gets behind the wheel. The instructor directs and gives good advice to the student, so that he can correct his mistakes and become a safe driver. OCCUPATION EDUCATION Ernest Pate Occupational Education Health Occupational Education students study their daily lessons. Once in a great while the regular daily class routine is broken when the students take time out to draw. Occupational Education provides the opportunity for students to progress in certain subject areas at a level equal with their abilities. One main objective of Occupational Education is to increase the students reading comprehension. To do this, the students read as frequently as possible and study spelling and punctuation. Various other subjects, such as history and health, are also studied. Painting a car is serious business, as can be seen by the expression on Mr. Klein’s face. The windows and chrome must be covered carefully before tbe car is sprayed. Let’s hope there are no accidents here. INDUSTRIAL ARTS George Bernlohr Jr. Electric Shop Radio Club Knowles Eldridge IVood Shop Did you ever overhaul a motor? If you don’t know how, just ask Jack and George. Actually, it’s not that easy.

In Auto Body and Auto Mechanics, the students learn the different parts of an automobile and how to repair them. Students work on many different types of electrical equipment and appliances in Electric Shop and Electronics. Metal Shop students have various projects to do, such as making useful tools. House plans are laid out and drawn carefully by the pupils in Industrial Drawing classes. Elmer Klein Auto Body Paul Shaulis Industrial Drawing 137 Gladys Abes Physical Education Health A.

Information can be found on almost any subject. A portion of the library is set aside for Advanced English students. Guidance classes and the guidance counselors help advise the students as to the subjeots they should take to follow their chosen course. During the senior year, the counselors help interested students apply to various colleges that they might like to attend. Both the library and the guidance offices play very important parts in the life of each student at Butler High. Mr. Miller and Marilyn check the books read by Butler High students. The latest copies of magazines are made available to the students. Many important articles for research and class reports can be found in the magazines. George Bernlohr Guidance An industrious hum fills the library as these students make good use of the excellent facilities for research and study which our library offers. Esther Johnson Guidance F.T.A. Sponsor LIBRARY AND GUIDANCE BENEFIT STUDENTS The Butler High School Library contains over 1400 volumes, many of which are used daily by our students.

Theirs is an all-day job. Members of the staff arrive at the school as early as seven o’clock in the morning to prepare the lunch for that day. They bake cakes, cookies, pies; make salads and sandwiches; and prepare the main courses. The large amount of food consumed every day by the students proves what a good job the staff does. CAFETERIA STAFF Here are three members of the cafeteria staff preparing some chicken salad sandwiches to be sold at the snack bar. Um . . . looks as though we’re going to have chocolate cake today!
