A Our School Canonsburg Canf' the motto of the industrial town of Canonsburg which has grown up on the banks of Chartiers Creek in Washington County, Pennsylvania, is a challenge to the people of the town, to the townis business, to its industry, and to its churches and schools. What are the proofs that Canonsburg can ? The able leaders who guide the progress of the town endeavor daily to make Canonsburg a pleasant and profitable place in which to live. Business offers with courtesy the best in goods, produce, and service at fair and reasonable prices. The industries offer worthy em- ployment for workers who are interested in a high quality and a high maximum of production. The churches fill their pews with members who are a moral, earnest, generous, and sympathetic group. The schools try to train their numerous students to become successful businessmen, economical housewives, conscientious workers, and forward-looking citizens. Members of the Class of 1947 accept this challenge and go forth and become worthwhile citi- zens of this community and continue to make your home town an ideal place in which to lead a rich and happy life. w5z55R3EENl3.iA4iQNSi ifkl ld i 'W N . .Y DR5 5C'??l?,S.S't' M5SiA.k 5.5' 'tf3fY?5!'iRE51.QB?'.2,?1irW'E.LSd'Lli'i.

OyConnell, Francis Buckley, Bernard Lee, John Yoney, and George Hutchison. The Board of Education is the policy making body of the school. As the guiding hand and the governing body, this board controls Canonsburg's school system. The management of finances, the hiring of personnel, and the proper care of school property are the board's three most important functions. It is also the responsibility of this body of men to approve all changes-no simple task nowadays. Students and patrons of the school appreciate the efforts of the efficient and vigilant members of the board. The man who guides the forces that mold the men and women of tomorrow must himself be an example. The life of C. A. Mathewson, superintendent of schools, has been a successful one. Mr. Mathewson graduated from Edinboro Normal School in 1909 and received his B.A. and M.A. degrees at Washington and Jefferson College. He started his career in rural schools, came to Canonsburg as teacher of Latin in 1922, attained the principalship of the high school, and was finally elevated to the superintendency of the entire Canonsburg Public School System. By his ability, kindness, and sympathetic understand- ing, Mr. Mathewson has gained the respect and admira- tion of his teachers and students, and the goodwill of the townspeople. He is a worthy citizen of Canonsburg. I-le is public spirited and takes an active part in com- munity affairs. Truly, Mr. Mathewson can, by his own example, direct students toward worthwhile living. C. A. Mathewson -3- Mr. Robert O'Connell, general manager of Can- onshurg High School, handles capably all situations. His office is the active and systematic center of the school. Here such duties as keeping attendance records, maintaining permanent records of students, and plan- ning the school calendar are daily functions. Mr. O'Con- nell himself is the helpful and encouraging guiding force. His students admire his sense of humor, his frank- ness, his impartiality, for he always does the thing he thinks is right for the most concerned, and his genuine understanding. Mr. O'Connell received his B.S. and lVI.A. degrees from Penn State and the University of Pittsburgh. He first taught physics and chemistry at Canonsburg High School. In 1932, he became a successful wrestling coach. In 1938, he became principal of the high school. This year he is chairman of the W.P.I.A.L. Wrestling Com- mittee. His chief school concern at present is the new guidance program in the' high school. Robert J. O'Connell Mr. M. L. Taggart is the man with the sparkling eyes and the pleasant smile that is never quite overshadowed by his mustache. Since receiving his degree from Grove City College, he has taught somei twenty odd years. The last eight of these years have carried with them the added responsibility of being assistant principal of the high school. All this experience has given Mr. Taggart a broad understanding of the younger generation. He is a con- stantly busy person, an all round good sport, and an understanding friend. Mr. Taggart also has an avocation. He is a highly successful gentleman farmer. He is a nature lover and enjoys hikes at all times of the year. He has taught his students the value of friendship horn of association. ...9.. M. L. Taggart Their Ahwesh Decker TEACHERS MISS LOUISE SCROGGS teacher of Senior Home Room 5 MISS A.

The Canon Log Canon Log, the official title of the Canonsburg High Schoo1,s annual, means much to the student body. Canon represents Colonel John Canon, founder of the town of Canonsburg, while Log represents the log cabin school built in 1780 which was the beginning of Jefferson College. This log cabin was removed to the Canonsburg High School's campus in 1895 and became the pride of the students and their symbol of the value of education. Financing, designing, and composing an annual is an educational project. Through the years, Canon Log staffs produce compact records of prominent school activities and events. Much work goes into the preparation. First a subscription campaign to raise the money needed to publish the book is carried on. With much thought, the editor plans the general content and assigns articles to student feature writers. Student photographers take many photos of school activities. Picture iden- tification committees spend many hours labeling pictures. - The theme of the 1947 Canon Log is Canonsburg Canf' Carmela Lucchitti, editor-in-chief, has chosen this theme because she believes that students need to be reminded of the rich opportu- nities offered by the community in which they live. john Russ and Betty Bowers have conducted a successful business campaign. The art work of Lenora Lyons and the pictures of Anthony Cam- pana, Marie Hohowslca, and other Camera Club members have made the book attractive. The seniors hope that this yearls Canon Log is a worthwhile record of 1946-1947.

The Gunners' Gazette In 1933, the first issue of the Canonsburg High School's newspaper was printed under the title, Canon-Hi-Ball. Jess McClelland edited this issue with the help of Mr. Hugh Duffy, faculty sponsor. In a short time, the name was changed to Gunners' Gazette. The 1935-1936 issues were directed by Miss Mary Alice Neill. Mr. Quincy DiYenno was the next sponsor, then Miss Mary White supervised the publication until 1943. When Miss White entered the services of Uncle Sam, Mrs. Marguerite Hiles, the present sponsor, assumed leadership. The Gunners, Gazette became a well-organized and smoothly functioning newspaper with an efficient staff. Procedures were regimented. Some years seasonal issues were printed, other years monthly issues were sold. Although the Daily Notes printed the school newspaper at first, students were soon mimeographing their own newspapers. Each year new equipment supplemented the old. Soon the student body learned the power of the press. The Gunners' Gazette became an agent for the betterment of school life. The editors of the Gazette tried to make their paper useful. With Bernice Galbraith, editor-in-chief, and Eleanor Kunkle, able assistant editor, the 1946- 1947 Gunners' Gazette was well-prepared and interesting. The position of business manager was held by Bob Schehl. Harry Pollock with Joe Adamson, his assistant, wrote the sports pages. Do- lores Wheeler was art editorg Nancy Campbell, literary editor, and Gretchen Donaldson, news editor.

Weekly programs of discussion of current topics and group singing are held. For the holidays, the club helps to make the needy happy by sending food baskets.

Coach Ahwesh proved he could produce fighting players and fighting teams. In the opening contest, the Canonsburg eleven played a spectacular game against Clairton. The Gunner offen- sive was led by Koceski who scored all points. The first touchdown came after a long drive when Koceski made a 23 yard dash. He then placed the oval between the uprights to make the score 7-0. In the second quarter, he again took the ball around left end for 73 yards and his second touch- down. In the second half, the Clairton team came Crumm, I-Iorr. Let's Give a Cheer! Lou Aquilmo, Betty Bowers, Julia Valery, Jean Bird, and Ed Norwood led the cheers.

The following week the Gunners mer the Buccaneers of Chartiers High at College Field. The Gunners started the scoring by shaking Koceski loose twice in the first quarter, but the Bucs came right back. and scored twice. In the third quarter, Ogrodowski, CHS full back, intercepted a pass and returned the ball for 60 yards and a third touchdown. The final score was Canonsburg 19-Chartiers 12. The Gunners suffered their only defeat at the hands of Waynesburg. The Yellow Jackets defeated them 20-19. A slim margin, but a defeat! This was a game of two halfs. Waynesburg took the first half, and Canonsburg took the second. Mancini, out for injuries, was sadly missed on the line. On September 27, the headline the Gunners had been waiting for since 1940 became a reality when the Gun- ner team made history by defeating the Little Presidents 13-0. The first half was a seesaw affair. In the second half, CHS was not to be denied. Three running plays brought the ball to the Wash I-Ii 42 yard line. Koceski went around left end for the first score. Michalak made the extra point. Wash Hi then brought the ball to their own 40 yard line. Michalak intercepted a lateral and romped 40 yards for a second touchdown. And the greatest game of the yearwasover. Bridgeville and Carnegie were the next victims on the Gunner list. Scoring three touchdowns in the first quart- er and one in the third, Canonsburg defeated the Bridgeville eleven Z5-0. Carnegie's team could not stop the Gunners, and two touchdowns in the second half made the score 12-0 in Canonsburg's favor. When the Gunners met Trinity, they were out to show everyone that last year's tie with Trinity was no, fluke. There was no doubt in the mind of anyone that Canonsburg had won this year's game Z7-6. Koceski scored two touch- downs on runs! of 74 and 75 'yards. Ogrodowski scored the second touchdown when he plunged over from the five guard line. Koceski passed to Thomas for the third touchdown. This was one of the best games ever played against rinity. A driving rainstorm broke a nine-year jinx for the Gunners, and they scored an impressive defeat against Mc- Kees Rocks. The Brown and Gold scored twice in the first quarter and once in the third. Two touchdowns were scored on runs of 53 and 60 yards, and the other on a plunge through the center of the line. The weather did not permit kicking for extra points, so the extra point was scored by running the ball. The game ended 19-0. To finish the season, the Gunners defeated the Blue Devils of Burgettstown 41-7. Everyone played a bang-up game, and the touchdowns were well-distributed. One of the spectacular plays came at the kickoff for the second half. Ogrinldlowski got the ball on the 5-yard line, fumbled it, picked it up on the Z yard line and raced 98 yards for a touc own. For the second consecutive year, Leo Koceski, Gunner star half back, was chosen on the All W.P.I.A.L. team, the first Canonsburg football player ever to be chosen twice consecutively. At the end of the season, Koceski had 19 touchdowns to his credit. In running, passing, and punting, he ourclassed all rival backs. James Chemento, Albert Man- cini, Joseph Ogrodowski, and Lou Popiolkowski were mentioned on All W. P. I. A. L. teams selected by the Pitts- burgh papers. Seniors on the squad were Albert Mancini, Lou Popiolkowski, Dominick Ortuso, Paul Katocs, Leo Koces- ki, James Chemento, Robert McPeake, and Pat Haney. ..53... .15153 radio Back Row-Coach Olie Orsino, Clifford Wagner, William McKim, Charles Leish, Ted Severyn, Sam Molinaro, Manager Tony Campana.

The Gunners finished the season, holding third place in Sec- tion 7. Tony D'Amico and Roy Pratten were elected co-captains for the season.

At this point, they continued to fall before Crafton, 55-44, and Mt. Lebanon, 55-29. But the Brown and Gold came back to hit their high point as they scored a 49-26 victory over Burgetts- town. The Gunners next slipped before Dormont, 55-25, but hit the win column again by defeating Stowe Township, 39-32. The CHS cagers next fell before Carnegie, 40-33, and McKees Rocks, 44- 29.

CROSS-COUNTRY Cross-Country, the forgotten sport at Canonsburg High, was resumed this year under the lead- ership of Coach Robert Smith. Under Coach Smith's fine guidance, a speedy new team was formed, and the team responded well. The only defeats were at the beginning of the season. The opening meet was lost to Brentwood by a 34-21 count, and the second to Mt. Lebanon, 40-15. After these defeats, the team exploded and won the next five without a set back. The Gunner Harriers first de- feated the highly favored Connellsville team 19-36, next downed Dormont by a 20-35 score, and then turned back Penn High 21-34. Continuing the winning streak, the Harriers won a decisive victory at the Ambridge Invitationals with the low score of 39, placing five men in the first 12 run- ners to cross the finish line. They next handed defeat to Central Catholic High by a 24-31 score. Tony D'Amico was the boy who always seemed to score, but he could not have done this without the push of the other boys. The Harriers wound up the season by placing 4th in the W.P.I.A.L. meet held over the ZH mile course in Schenley Park. Top-Place!

In the first one at home the score was 15-1, and in the second at West View, the victory was 13-1. This thirteen held no evil for the Gunners, as they proceeded to extend their list of vic- tories to thirteen by going all out to defeat their rival, Wash Hi, 8-6, with five decisions, one draw, and a fall scored by Addis. The Carnegie match was the last one played at home, and the grap- plers made it a blaze of glory by winning 14-1. The season ended with an exciting return match with Chartiers Hi. CHS scored a 10-4 victory, and this permitted them to enter the WPIAL tour- nament undefeated. At Washington on March 8, the Canonsburg team won six of the twelve individual titles and succeeded Waynesburg as champion in the annual Western Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic League wrestling tournament. Don Haney, who was not present when the squad picture was taken for the yearbook, came forth as one of the WPIAL champs along with his brother, Pat Haney, and Eugene Bowman, Harold Addis, Joe Ogrodowski, and Charles Shannon. Seniors who took part in their last wrestling matches for CHS were Bob Blandine, Eugene Bowman, James Chemento, Sam Costanza, Pat Haney, and Bob McPeake. Match with' Jeannette 1946 TRACK After four weeks of strenuous practice under Coach Quincy DiYenno, the 1946 Track Team put through a not unsuccessful season that taught the squad much that can help them in future seasons to put the Gunners on top. Only a few consistent point gainers were left after last year's graduation, and this necessitated a complete rebuilding on the part of Coach DiYenno. Canons- burg got off to a bad start by dropping the first meet of the season to Connellsville by the score of 88-39. Four days later, entering only fifteen men against a large array of athletes from other schools, the CHS inexperienced track team captured a total of live points and placed eleventh in the W.P.I.A.L. Relays at Washington. Then two defeats followed. The Gunner thinclads placed third in a five-team meet at Mt. Lebanon and eighth in the Washington Invitational Meet. On May 10, the Gunners came into their own and defeated their rivals by swamping Washington and Trinity, 74-32-29. This was the high point of the season. An underrated Dormont team next tripped the Gunners 72 Z-3 - 54 1-3, and CHS placed sixteenth in the W.P.I.A.L. outdoor track and Held car- nival at Coker Stadium, Connellsville. The Gunners finished the season by placing second in a tri- school meet with Brentwood and Central Catholic. The outstanding work of Koceski, Mancini, De-Iohn, and Millikin should receive recognition. Koceski proved himself to be the one man who could score in almost every meet. All members of the team gave their best and gained valuable experience through competition. Last Row-Loughman, Toth, Solobay, Addis, Ogrodowski, Worgul, Leish, Santoni.

GIRLS' INTBAIVIURAL BASKETBALL - 1946 Gunner Girls enjoyed the intramural basketball program carefully planned by Miss Donna Shaver for the 1946 season. Sportsmanship, body building, exercise, and enjoyment were the aims of the intramural program, a program still in the development stage at Canonsburg High School. At noon dismissal bells, girls rushed to the study hall for quick lunches. Then with much laughter and talking, they soon proceeded to the dressing rooms. Practice shots and last-minute in- structions followed. The game was on! All games provided thrill-packed action and tense excite- ment for both players and spectators. The championship game was the climax. This was at first a tie, but St. Mary's won the play-of, 9-2.

During the company's first thirty-five years, it fabricated and erected bridges and buildings for the country's expanding industrial econo- my. In World War I, the company cooperated with the Submarine Boat Corporation in building prefabricated cargo ships, as well as fabricating large numbers of airplane hangars for' the United States and France. In 1930, a new company was formed, combining the Fort Pitt Bridge Works with the Massillon Bridge and Structural Company of Massilon, Ohio, and known as the Fort Pitt Bridge Works. During the 193O's, the new company fabricated structural steel for many Federal Aid buildings, post offices, schools, hospitals, highway work, as well as industrial work. During the recent war, the Fort Pitt fabricated steel for aircraft, chemical steel, public utility and ordnance plants, and for structures and installations for the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Panama Canal, and other government agencies. A huge press was built for forming plates, and thousands of tons of ship plates for tankers were turned out. At present the works are fabricating structural steel for the nation's buildings and bridges. Fort Pitt Bridge Works has played an important part in building Pennsylvania's Dream', High- way and in supplying steel for Pittsburgh's great bridges and buildings. The Fort Pitt Bridge Works maintain their general offices in Pittsburgh and their plant and purchasing department in Canonsburg. Present officers are: James M. Straub-President A. V.

Continental Can Company, Incorporated Plant No. 3 of the Continental Can Company, Incorporated, at Canonsburg, dates back to 1910 when on July third the first machinery was installed. Soon 10,000 cans were being produced in ten hours of operation. In 1919 the can line equipment was moved to Chicago, and the plant manufac- tured paper gasket ends. In 1922 major production changed to covers, and in 1925 Plant No. 3 be- came a service plant to other plants. Five lacquer ovens were installed in 1943, and since then the plant has been supplying lacquered plate for its own end production and for consumption in other plants. The factory has grown from the two-room building in 1910 to a seven-room plant in 1941. Production has grown from five million in 1924 to ever two billion in 1945, this production being made up entirely of ends for packer's cans. Canonsburg has an average of 425 employes on a full time basis. The 1945 production record could not have been met if it were not for the spirit that prevails throughout the plant. Factory Manager John A. McKee looks proudly over his organiza tion and regards highly all employees who have helped attain the high quality and high maximum production. Present key personnel includes: John A. McKee-Factory Manager Walter Johnson-Foreman of Lacquer Dep't Ira Underkogler-Master Mechanic Ray Rasel-Foreman of Shipping Dep't Charles Kriss-Production Planning Paul Redinger-Manager of Industrial and Scroll Shear Foreman Relations William Perring-Day Production Foreman George Atkinson-Plant Accountant of End'mking Depit Wallace Richards-Foreman Steve Churray-Night Foreman of Encl- making Depit Canonsburg Pottery Company Canonsburg, Pennsylvania Full fashioned dinnerware that attracts the discriminating buyer and selective consumer al ike.
