Cambria Heights High School - Highlander Yearbook (Patton, PA)

Text from Pages 1 - 104 of the 1965 volume:

rmri nn n rr rj r THE HIGHLANDER Cambria Heights High School 1965 As we, the Senior Class of 1965, began our last year of high school, each of us happily anticipated the events on our school calendar. These memorable activities will be cherished by all of us as time goes by. The Highlander spirit has been maintained in all of our organizations, both old and new. With the participation of the student body, the band, the drill team, the chorus, the ath- letic programs, and the newspaper have all been successful. Several organizations, such as the Pep Club and Radio Club, were initiated. The seniors held the traditional Mardi Gras and class play. All of these activities have contributed to make this a wonderful year for us. The ’65 Highlander is a written and pic- torial review of the events of the past school year, with special emphasis placed on the seniors. Therefore, the class of 1965 proudly presents this edition of the Highlander to the Cambria Heights student body, the faculty, and our parents. As we receive our diplomas on Graduation Day, each of us will always cherish and re- member forever our Alma Mater. Let us never forget these words: “Dear Cambria Heights, all hail.” 2 FOREWORD Dedication ..................... 4 Administration ................. 5 Faculty......................... 9 Seniors.........................15 Juniors.........................41 Sophomores .....................49 Favorites ......................57 Athletics ......................61 Organizations ..................73 Activities .....................79 3 TABLE OF CONTENTS We, the graduating class of 1965, wish to dedicate this year’s edition of the Highlander to our supervising principal, Mr. Clair J. Urich. Mr. Urich received his Bachelor of Arts degree from St. Francis College in 1928. In 1938, he obtained his Master of Education degree from Pennsyl- vania State University. He began his teaching career at the former Hastings High School, where for five years he taught science and mathematics. In 1933 he was made super- vising principal of the Hastings school, a position he held until 1960 when Hastings became a part of the present Cambria Heights jointure. Mr. Urich was then made supervising principal of the Cambria Heights Joint School System. The seniors are especially grateful to Mr. Urich for his help and guidance throughout our school years. SUPERVISING PRINCIPAL As the completion of your undergraduate school days approach, so also approaches the responsibility of man- hood and womanhood in the complex society of today. It is our sincere hope that we have instilled in you those attributes which will prepare you for the chal- lenges you will face. Character, integrity, and basic knowledge will be the foundation of your future. De- velop these, and, with God’s help, you can face life with confidence in your own ability to succeed. ASSISTANT SUPERVISING PRINCIPAL The class of 1965 will always remember the week-end in November of their junior year. This was the time when a shocked and saddened world was assessing the loss it had sustained when an assassin’s bullet nded the brilliant career of President Kennedy. John F. Kennedy was a great man and a good man whose heavf vas full of the love of God and man. May you -dicate some part of your lives to the elimination of the causes that produce Lee Harvey Oswalds and to the promotion of circumstances that might bring about another John F. Kennedy. 6 HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL SECRETARIES Jo Ann Simpson As members of the Class of 1965 you have the dis- tinction of belonging to one of the finest groups to graduate from Cambria Heights Schools. I have con- fidence that you will meet all the challenges in later life as you have met the challenge to discipline your- selves mentally and physically during the past year. May I take this opportunity to congratulate you on your past achievements and wish you continued suc- cess in the years to come.

These players were Patrick Kirsch. Wayne Kirsch, Gerald Lane, Joel Polites, Richard Skitka, and George Tinnick. Under the capable management of Head Coach Stephen Bakajza and Assistant Coaches John Nevins and Melvin Brown, the team underwent long hard hours of practicing to give us the good clean football everyone enjoys. The type of hard playing and sportsmanship shown this year makes the school proud to be represented by such a fine group of boys. Judging from those smiles.

Part of the spark that moved the Highlanders w'as contributed by seniors Richard McGlynn, Joel Polites, Michael Roach, George Tinnick, and Paul Weakland. Placing second in the Northern Cambria League, Section B, the Highlanders faced many rugged opponents. Teamwork and individual skill were blended by team members into a winning combination. The teamwork displayed by the basketball team provided exciting games for the spectators. This same teamwork was carried from the basketball court to the classroom where these boys helped make the school year successful and worthwhile.

A typical basketball crowd. Over the season, the Hastings Memorial Building is the scene of many thrilling moments. The Brass Choir, coached by Mr. Getz, performed at the Christmas Program. Mr. Getz works hard for perfection. This busy music director pre- pares two concerts in the spring, sponsors the Dance Band, and is always willing to provide musical groups for activities and special events in Cambria Heights and in the surrounding communities.

The members of the Student Council are elected representatives from each home- room. These representatives attend weekly meetings and are responsible to the students for information on the latest happenings. The purpose of the Student Council is to: improve student-teacher relationship; improve school morale; and to provide orderly direction of school activities. Some of the projects of the Student Council are the homeroom bulletin boards, the guest book and the point system. The bulletin boards help to carry the spirit of the season or the ball clubs to the student body. The guest book provides an organized guest admittance to the school dances. The newly initiated project of the Student Council is the point system. This system diminishes the poblem of some students dominating all activities and some students not participating at all. The efforts of the Student Council have helped bring about a better school. This organization is one of which every student should be proud. 74 STUDENT COUNCIL ACTIVITIES One of the many beautiful Home Room bulletin board displays during the Christmas Season. Barry Michrina, Gregory Drahuschak, and Mark Orlosky are working on a map to be bung in the Cafeteria.

The Cambria Heights Marching Band, under the direction of Mr. Karolchik, introduced the “Kalai- descope” formation, which is the ultimate result of the Moffet drills. This drill, being used for the first time in this area, utilizes the sixteen groups of four, each operating as a unit, to form a series of symetric patterns which change with the music. The annual Christmas program of the Cambria Heights Mixed Chorus was one of which all could be proud. It was highlighted by Mr. Boes’ solo “0 Holy Night”. Presently the Chorus is preparing for its Spring Concert. This program will offer a wide variety of musical selections ranging from the patriotic lyrics of “This Is a Great Country” to the foreign flavor of the “Czechoslovakian Dance Song”. The concert band is busily preparing two concerts—the Awards Concert in March and the annual Spring Concert in April. Attending County Chorus are seniors Carolyn Callahan, Gregory Drahuschak, Ellen Haluska, Rob- ert Lapenna, Herbert McConnell, and Barry Michrina and sophomores Malerie Cattoi and Lawrence Cicero. Seniors Rita Haluska, George Hughes and John McCloskey and junior Grace Mitchell will rep- resent Cambria Heights at District Chorus. Participating in County Band are seniors Nancy De Salvo, George Hughes, and Margaret Kelly, juniors Charles Horn, Jean Ann Lapenna, Jo Ann Lapenna, William Lihvarchik, and Carolyn Ya- blinsky, and sophomores Barry Morealli and Mark Stratton.

SENIOR CLASS PLAY Chester is not so lucky this time as Donald Swift threatens him. Mrs. Schwab and Miss Gavlak work care- fully for perfection. Chester finds a unique way to avoid a beating. Mr. Simmons is not too impressed by playboy Roger Shields. “The Whole Town’s Talking” Mrs. Jackson congratulates Ches- ter as Mr. Simmons beams his approval. The whole town is still talking about our three act comedy, “The Whole Town’s Talking.” This brilliant satire exposed the hilarious escapades of Mr. Simmons and his business partner, Chester Binney, as they schemed to marry unromantic Chester to Ethel, Mr. Simmons’ vivacious daughter. To make Chet appealing, Mr. Simmons created several make-believe love affairs with the famous motion picture star, Liz Baylor. All went well until Liz and her fiance, who at one time was a prize fighter, came to town. Poor Chester was really “in for it”, but he weathered the storm and won Ethel. The cast included: Gregory Drahuschak as Mr. Simmons, a successful businessman; Barbara Covel as Mrs. Simmons; Herbert McConnell as Chester Binney, Simmons’ partner; Rita Haluska as Ether Simmons; Sandra Fox as Liz Baylor, the motion pic- ture star; Robert Lapenna as Donald Swift, a motion picture director and ex-prize fighter; George Hughes as Roger Shields, a young Chicago playboy; Ann Tocarchick as Lila Wilson and Wanda Greenaway as Sally Otis, both friends of Ethel; Linda Craver as Annie, the maid; Beverly Mothersbaugh as Sadie Bloom, the dance hall girl; Barry Michrina as the taxi driver; Kathryn Berzansky as Mrs. Jackson; and Dorothy Lenyo, Lottie Mortenson, Donna Welsko, Joyce Eckley, and Peggy Kelly as the girls. Miss Gavlak and Mrs. Schwab, class play advisors, and Regina Niemiec, student director, worked hard to make our play the huge success it was. Chester and Ethel are happy, Mr. and Mrs. Simmons are happy, but Donald and Roger seem to be a little the worse for wear. 87 CHRISTMAS IN SONG The ensemble sings “Merry Christmas” in eight different languages, George Hughes and Robert Lapenna duet the Mexican carol “Search for Lodging”, Kathryn Bcrzansky clowns through “Twelve Days of Christmas”, and Mr. Joseph Boes climaxes the concert with “O Holy Night.” CHRISTMAS AROUND THE WORLD “Christmas around the World” was the theme chosen by the Student Council for the dance held after the Christmas Program. The motif was carried out in the decorations with “Merry Christmas” written in many languages throughout the hall. ALL SPORTS-BAND Mr. Albert De Luca, former head football coach at St. Vincent College, was the guest speaker at this year’s highly successful All Sports-Band banquet. The Girls’ Ensemble comprised of Mary Jo Caprone, Rita Haluska, Carolyn Callahan, Kathryn Berzansky, Mary Stoltz, Ellen Haluska, and Grace Mitchell accompanied by members of the Cambria Heights Band provided top-notch entertainment. Mr. Urich and Mr. Boes pictured with Mr. De Luca and several members of the local clergy appear well-satisfied with the even- ing’s festivities. A group of happy young men and women are thoroughly enjoying their dinner. BANQUET AND DANCE The Memorial Building was appropriately decorated for the All Sports-Band banquet. Here a number of students are arriving for an evening full of fun. The Cambria Heights school seal is displayed in the background. A typical scene of the dance following the dinner. Many Cambria Heights’ girls, too, worked hard to make the banquet a success. Shown here are the boys who volunteered their services to provide a gqod hot meal to the banquet guests.

HIGHLANDER SCRAPBOOK Wanda Greenaway and Linda Rougeux kept a scrapbook of all Cambria Heights activities throughout the school year. PEP CLUB OFFICERS SEATED: Linda Rougeux, President. STANDING: Edna Hoover, Treasurer; Margaret Kelly, Secretary; Kathryn Berzansky, Vice Presi- dent. SPECIAL HONORS Paul Baran represented Cambria Heights at the National Youth Conference on the Atom held early this year in Chicago. Accompanying Paul was Mr. Donald Resko, his former chemistry teacher, now principal of the senior high school. Paul Baran and Karen Mikula were chosen to represent Cambria Heights on the Scholastic Quiz seen on Channel 6—Johnstown. Robert Doughty won the local American Legion Oratorical Contest and competed in the District competition where he placed third. No wonder John McCloskcy and Geo e Hughes are sporting such big smiles. George earned first chair and John seventh in District Chorus com- petition, and they have just learned that they will represent Cambria Heights at State Band. FAREWELL Now we seniors must leave the hallowed halls of Cambria Heights, but along with us we are taking a portion of the Highlander spirit. Knowing that we have just spent the most wonderful year of our life, we still look forward to the challenge of the future because we realize how well our school has prepared us to face it. Yet, on graduation day, along with that feeling of accomplishment and pride, there will be a certain sense of emptiness which will stem from the memories we are leaving behind. Gone are the various club meetings, the band and chorus rehearsals, the pep rallies, the dances, the athletic contests, and even many of our friends. Yes, they are gone; but in their places are memories to last a lifetime. Thus ends the ’65 edition of the Highlander. Yet, in all reality it does not end but only begins; for from it will come for many years hence a fountain of memories. Although we seniors may go our separate ways, our sentiments toward Cambria Heights can be summed up in the words of our Alma Mater. Though 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. Though we journey to a distant shore, We’ll remain your own for ever more. Dear Cambria Heights, all hail. Dear Cambria Heights, all hail. 96 TAYLOR PUBLISHING COMPANY «•.id • '•� « 00 1 A„ ? ■ t nwnrnvir- rw.-trh.
