As our senior year draws to a close, many wonderful memories flash before our eyes. In this yearbook we have tried to capture all these memories in picture form. Our Highlander spirit has been upheld by our many organizations—our band, drill team, chorus, and athletic activities have all contributed toward making this year, our senior year, a year to remember. As we walk forward on Graduation Day toward our own new lives in an adult world, the words of our Alma Mater will run through our minds; words that we will always remember and hold close to our hearts. Tho the hills are green on which we gaze, Or white with winter’s snow. Here we long have seen such happy days. This is our home we know. Tho we journey to a distant shore, We’ll remain your own for ever more. Dear Cambria Heights, all hail. Dear Cambria Heights, all hail. The seniors dedicate this edition of the Highlander to Mr. Bakajza. Since he is one of the senior class sponsors and our Problems of Democracy teacher. Mr. Bakajza is in daily communication with us. He spear-headed our magazine subscription campaign and our candy- selling drives to raise money to defray the cost of the yearbook. The Class of 1963 will always remember his guidance, his help, and his friendly smile. 4 SITTING, left to right: Fred J. McCann: Mrs. Florence Zalisnock; Cyril R.

Needless to say. they also en- joy eating the food which they have cooked.

A Typical Study Hall Scene Senior Class Officers Left to right: Janet Kepshirc, Treasurer: Sandra Kost, Secretary; John Winsko, Vice-President; John Radomsky, President. One of the major activities of the Senior Class is the preparation of the yearbook. In order to finance this project, the class conducts both a candy sale and a magazine campaign. The annual Mardi Gras was held on February 9. The seniors chose Gustave Beunier and Sandra Kost to be the king and queen of this gala evening and Barry Burkhart and Carol Benosky were the prince and princess. Marcia Blick, Karen Bricker, Anna Lee Grozanich, and Sandra Selfridge were charming ladies-in-waiting and Lawrence Werfel was a humorous court jester. As our yearbook goes to press, the class is anticipating such events as the Junior- Senior Prom, the Senior Banquet, and Commencement. Senior Class Sponsors Left to right: Mr. Bakajza, Mr. Brown, Mr. Flynn, Miss Lowes. From the facial expressions, we doubt if the problem has been solved. However, with Mr. Fleming’s guidance, we feel that a suitable answer will be found before the end of today’s class. “Now you push this little valve down”—and then another and another—and Miss Lowes will soon have the correct sum to show her class. She will, that is, if she pushed the correct numbers. Mr. Bakajza is just checking to make sure everyone has the right place. Current events are also discussed pro and con in all the Problems of Democracy classes. Could Mrs. Schwab be discussing a suitable idea for tomor- row’s theme with her English class? No, everyone looks too happy. Perhaps it’s a light assignment that has inspired those smiles.

Preparing for the Junior-Senior Prom is the highlight of the junior year. The theme which the class chose for the prom this year is “Magic Moments,” and pink is the predominating color in the decorations. The music for this memorable evening will be furnished by Arnie Arnell and his Orchestra. Peter Cossitor and Mary Louise Crimaldi were chosen by their classmates to be the duke and duchess for the annual Mardi Gras.

Prior to the sophomore year, part of the class attends one junior high school in Car- rolltown and part attends the other junior high in Hastings. These three schools, along with four elementary schools, make up the Cambria Heights Joint School System. The class chose Joel Polites and Sandra Fox to be the Count and Countess at the Mardi Gras.

It is unforunate that a look at the score never indicates the long hours spent practicing, the injuries, and the heartache of an unsuccessful season. However, the Cambria Heights football team will remember good tilings about this year: the close association with their teammates; the trip to the Pilt-Penn State game; the time and effort put forth by Head Coach Cicero and Assistant Coaches Bakajza, Nevins. and Resko; and the excellent sportsmanship taught by these four men. Fourteen seniors represented their class on the Highlander squad this year: Gustave Beunier, Barry Burkhart, Francis DeLattre, Robert Depto, Robert Drzal, Theodore Endler, Eugene Huber, Jerome Humphrey, Richard Hunter, Gerald Kelly, Richard Nagle, John Radomsky, Donald Smychynsky, and Robert Yarko. 60 Highlanders FIRST ROW, left to right: Richard Nagle, John Radomsky, James Ycckley, Gustave Beunier, James Zurenko, Theodore Endler.

The true sportsmanship taught by Mr. Solomon and Mr. Demento asserted itself many times, especially in the closely played ball games. Never once did the boys from Cambria Heights forget that they are gentlemen both on and off the basketball court. James Cairns, the only six-footer on the team, was also the only senior this year. 66 Junior Varsity Basketball KNEELING, left to right: George Tinnick, Thomas Cicero, Daniel Pompa.

Mr. Getz and Mr. Karolchik worked during the summer months and throughout the football season to make the Cambria Heights Marching Band and Drill Team organiza- tions of which the school could be very proud. A Christmas program composed of band and choral numbers again won for these groups the admiration of the community. The highlight of this Christmas program was the singing of ‘ 0 Holy Night” by Mr. Boes, our assistant supervising principal, accompanied by the girls’ chorus. Band members participating in County Band are Barry Collins, Gregory Drahushak, Diane Gormish, Carol Gresco, Dominica Inzana, James Nalisnick. Rosemary Sherry, and Anne Urich. Arlene Easly, Nancy Hindmarsh. and Donna Ivory will represent Cambria Heights in County Chorus. Carol Benosky, Nancy Hindmarsh, Regina Schall, and John Winsko won seats in District Band while Marianne Haluska, Janet Long, Leslie Maher, and Mary Frances Senita took part in District Chorus.

Our representatives, the Student Council, acting as the intermediary between the student body and the faculty, have had quite a busy year. During the Christmas season they decorated our cafeteria beautifully. They were in charge of the Red Cross drive: and. due to their efforts, more money was collected this year than in previous years. The constitution initiated by last year’s group was successfully completed. They also kept their homerooms up to date on the latest events and activities of the school.

Mrs. Schwab, Mr. Voytko, and the play cast are to be commended for their ex- cellent production of “Cheaper by the Dozen,” this year’s senior class play. The time and effort spent by the sponsors and cast were evidenced by a flawless presentation from the lead roles to the “bit” parts. “Cheaper by the Dozen” provided genuine humor; yet the warmth of the story left many of the viewers teary-eyed. “Watch it!” Maybe this is one experiment that didn’t please Mr. Resko. No one else seems too excited about the results however. The Chemistry Lab periods are an essential part of the course. Habla usted espanol?—Conversational Spanish is stressed in Mr. Voytko’s classes.

It i appropriate to close our 1963 Highlander with a picture of Miss Gavlak and Mr. Karolchik working with several seniors in preparation for Cambria Heights annual Senior Day. FAREWELL As we come to the close of our senior year, we are filled with emotions of both anticipation and regret. Looking into the future, we see a troubled world which makes us wish that we could remain in your protection forever. To strangers your red brick walls may seem cold and imposing, hut to us they are a living symbol of friendship. They will always echo our voices, our joys at success, and our disillusion- ments at defeat. When we look hack, we will remember Senior Day. the Mardi Cras, those two foul shots that won the Northern Cambria game, the day the girls wore the sloppy shirts, the Minstrel Show, and the many other days that hold special memories. As we travel to distant shores, though the hills he green on which we gaze or white with winter’s snow, we will proudly sing: “Dear Cambria Heights. All Hail” TAYLOR PUBLISHING COMPANY Af ri I '� H ' ■ 88 V'-V. Brag gE SA - ifl
