Each year progressive steps toward a better high school education are taken. Canonsburg High School was established in IS87 in one room on the first floor of the North Central Avenue School. The course was a two-year one, and the first gradu- ating class numbered eleven. John B. Anderson was elected principal and served in that capacity until ISQ l. In the ears from I887 until I949, the high school was moved three times. In ISQ3, it was transferred to the third floor of the Jefferson College Building and in l89 7, to the newly-completed College Street School. ln l9l3, Canonsburg High School was estab- lished in the present red brick building at the corner of College Street and North Central Avenue. I The original two-year course became a three-year course in 1897, and in l9l I, a fourth year was added. During the years, many new classes were added to the curri- culum, and many changes were made to adapt education to a rapidly changing world with new frontiers. Many outstanding men guided education through the years of progress. W. C. Black succeeded Mr. Anderson and served until i898 when M. Shaffer became prin- cipal. F. W. lVIcVay was chosen principal in I902 and served until he became Superin- tendent of Schools in I9l2. Russell Horner was elected in I9I2, James C. Bedillion, in l9I 73 W. Lawrence Fife, in l923g and C. A. Nlathewson, in l929. R. O'Connell, present principal of the high school, assumed the position in l938 when IVIr. Nlathewson became Superintendent of Schools. Enrollment steadily increased as the town grew, increasing very rapidlv after I9 l 0. In 1902, the total enrollment was forty-fiveg in I92l, it was two hundred eighty-five: in I927, four hundred forty-sixg and in I939, nine hundred forty. The present enrollment is about six hundred sixty. A Home Economics Building was erected next door to the main building in I929. An Annex, including four class-rooms and an auditorium, was added to the main build- ing in l93l. In I944, a N.Y.A. Shop located at Curry Field and designed for training in machine operation was received from the government and adapted to school purposes. At Becl-is Field in l947, Memorial Stadium was completed and put into use. The com- munity now looks ahead to the day when a new high school will be erected and the present building given over to a junior high school. H 'Tis not too late to seek a newer world . . . To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield. ms... ,.... N...-....uuunnu.-aLuOalu.+runiausun-asv HOME ECONOMICS BUILDING -5- CAMPUS 8:30 The Beginning of a Day The Noon Hour Left Below.

MATHEWSON Superintendent of Schools The decision of the l949 Senior Class to style themselves the Forty-Ninersn is com- mendable. There were many things about those hardv emigrants of IS49 which are quite worthy of emulation. The early Forty-Ninersn had courage and daring. They had the pioneering spirit which was not afraid to venture into new and untried fields. They had perseverance to con- tinue ahead in the face of almost endless and insurmountable barriers. These qualities can still be recommended. It would be most encouraging if we could say that all these hardy pioneers found a final reward of unlimited gold at the end of their rainbow. Some did. Most did not. Probably most of the early Forty-Ninersn found their reward in the satisfaction of winning a new home and a livelihood in the face of heavy obstacles. My best wish for you Canonsburg High School Forty-Ninersn is an honorable success, success attained through the same courage, industry, and perseverance which distinguished your illustrious I849 namesakes. ...101 M. L. Taggart Assistant Principal To get the gold in them thar hills, the Forty-Niners' of a century ago needed little material equipment except a pick, a pan, and a grubstake, but they did need a spirit of per- sistence, perseverance, patience, determination, and a strong physique to attain their quest. Out of the experience of the Forty-Nin- ers and the pioneers of other eras of our national history, we have forged an American Character that is optimistic, experimental, prac- tical, intelligent, mature, democratic, and in- dividualistic. The Nineteen Forty-Niners find their ma- terial equipment vastly changed. They have traded their Conestogas for Diesels and the pick and pan for automatic machines and scientific laboratories. The qualities of spirit, however, that took the Eighteen Forty-Ninersu across the plains will be the same qualities that will put the Nineteen Forty-Niners out in the lead in building the better America of the future. The great question is not what age you live in, but what perfection you achieve under the circum- stances. Robert J. 0'Conne!l Principal To many of the Forty-Ninersn the quest for gold was only an excuse for the pursuit of adventure. The group included farmers, labor- ers, gamblers, business men, some tradesmen even a few doctors and lawyers. What they all had in common was the desire for adventure. There were few conservatives among them. They were willing to risk everything to commit themselves to a course of action from which they could not turn back. Thev were all ener- getic and unafraid of the hardships that lay cn the other side of the Sierra Nevadas. It is this daring do spirit that we admire in the Forty- Ninersf' The theme, Forty-Ninersf' is appropri- ate for this yearbook only to the extent to which the bold adventurous spirit of those illustrious seekers after gold is exemplified in present willingness to sacrifice comfort and pleasures in order to attain a future worth- while goal. -11- FACULTY Mr. Francis P.

By the end of the year many classmates had left the ranks. ln the fall of I947, one hundred seventy-five sophisticated sophomores reported back at school, but again some students for various reasons left school. Some moved from the district, jobs claimed others, and still others entered Uncle Sam's service. When school convened in September, l948, one hundred fifty-seven members of the class answered to roll call, These earnest students settled down to an interesting year's work as upper classmen.

On a fair August day in I946, two hundred fifteen terrified freshmen entered the portals of Canonsburg High School. These nfreshiesu soon were lost in a maze of Hoors, doors, and stairways. They asked naive questions of upper classmen and received misleading answers. They soon cast off inferiority complexes and developed confident new personalities. At a first class meeting, Standley Hoch was elected president: Edward Witosky, vice presidentg and Joanne Rudge, secretary-treasurer. Scarlet and gray were chosen as the class colors. Many members of the class joined clubs or participated in some sport. On the wrestling squad were Roman, Shannon, Dapra, Custer, and Haney. Haney and Shannon finished the year as W.P.I.A.L. champs. Representing the class in the Girls' Basketball Tournament were the Noted Dames. Barbara Senior, joe Mascetta, Tom Mathia, Rita Wozniak, and Joanne Rudge were on the honor roll every six weeks. Social activities were few. A juke box dance and an assembly program were the main events. The year ended with the freshiesn bubbling with newly awakened talent and energy for the year to come. ln the fall of l947, the now active sophomore class chose Vincent Cesu- aldi, Edward Witosky, Barbara Senior, and jean Wood to act as class officers. Under the helpful guidance of Miss Dickson, they did an excellent job. During the year twenty-four members of the class Worked on the Gunner Gazette Staff. Band members were Don Mcvicker, Dorothy Davidson, and Dorothy Povich. On the football squad were Superick, Pankiewicz, Gesualdi, DiBiase, Galbraith, Witosky, Delfine, Pantely, and Livolsi. The sophomore 'ichickery Chicks became school champs in girls' basketball. The energy collected in the freshmen year had been put to work. Ahead loomed the junior year. -34.. As juniors, the class soon learned what was meant by a full schedule. It meant work, work, and work with never a spare moment and never a dull one. There were laughs and jokes at every turn. With a jim Cavasina in the class, how could it have been different? The first event of the year was the junior magazine sale. jean Wood received first prize for selling the highest number of subscriptions. Jean Verrone and Joanne Rudge also received awards. The Star Dust Dance held in December highlighted the Christmas season. Decorations of blue and silver provided an attractive setting for an enjoyable time. After the holidays the hard-working juniors settled down to real study, for semester tests were around the corner. Not for long did this enthusiasm for studies last. The announcement was made that junior rings had arrived. For weeks eyes were glued to fingers, but excitement gradually wore away. Semester tests were successfully passed. During the semester twelve juniors had represented the class on the football team. Kulakowski, Kulish, Karavolis, Solomon, L. Gall, and F. Severyn served well on the Cross- Country Team. Many members of the class were still active in clubs. Joe Mascetta and Don lVlcVicker were heading the Camera Staff. The main events of the second semester were the ,junior Play and the party given by the junior Class in honor of the Senior Class. Six juniors were on the wrestling team, and Steve Superick and Mike Delfine were active in basketball. The year ended with all work completed, and juniors looked forward to their last and most interesting year at Canonsburg High School. -Rita Wozniak Room 6-Back Row-Dam iel Gall, Standley Hoch.

History of the Class of 1951 ln the September of l947 a group of frightened freshmen entered the portals of Canonsburg High for new experiences. They had reason for their fright. Had anyone else ever gone through such teasing from superior and much envied upper classmen? Finally the frosh were accepted, and life settled clown to a routine. Among the old members of the class, a few new faces were noticed. Thomas Butler had joined the class from Glen Lock: Sondra Goebel, from lndianapolis: Myrna Davis, from Pittsburgh, and Helen Underwood from Greensburg. The class soon elected Sam Karavolis, president: Bettv Jane Marino, vice-presidentg and ,loan Taper, secretary-treasurer. About half the boys of the class went out for some sport. Louis Fihakis and James Pihakis made the first team in wrestling. Over half the members of the class joined school clubs. Before one could be aware of the passing of time, Christmas had come and gone, and mid-term exams were over. By this time members of the class were well-acquainted. Mary Horn was known as an outstanding student. Henrv Horstman, Ada BiBiase, Sam Karavolis Greta Reagan, Esther Daley, Natalie DilVluzio, Joan Dybell, and Doris Hackenson had proved scholastic ability. ,loan Taper and Rose Kocian were liked bv all. Joe Solomon, Robert Simonin, and James lVlcClean kept classes alive. Easter came and went, and an interesting year drew to a close. The class thought back over the months and realized what class and home room teachers had done to mold green freshiesu into budding sophomores, and they were truly grateful. -33- The halls of C.H.S. rang with cheery greetings on the first day of school in the fall of I948 as the sophomore class returned to take a very definite place in the race for learning. There were new faces once more. Reed Hanlon joined the class from Wesley High, and Dolores Kushnar came from McKeesport. New class officers were elected. Robert Simonin became presidentg Arnold Corey, vice president: Rose Kocian, secretary: and Lois Mastic, treasurer. Many girls went out for cheer-leading. The four successful candidates were blond Alice Sifinski, tall Frances Pelan, vivacious Germaine Orsino, and active Martha Pushkar. joan Taper and Rose Kocian were chosen majorettes, and Natalie DiMuzio and Peggy Miller were appointed substitutes. Ethel Cloud became a Hag twirler. Frances Pelan and Myrna Davis proved 'highly accurate basketball players. The boys of the class had been just as active. Sam Kara- volis was an agile running back in football. George Anthou place kicked, Edward Wisniewski did most of the punting, and Donald Anthony and Harold Hunter served as guards. Dick Wilkinson and George Anthou made the basketball team. Wrestlers were James Pihakis, Donald Anthony, and Harold Hunter. By the time semesteriexams had rolled around, Marv Horn was still the out-standing scholar. Henry Horstman, Ada DiBiase, Sam Karavolis, Greta Reagan, ,Ioan Dybell, Esther Daley, Natalie DiMuzio, Doris Hackenson, Sally Dornon, and Marianne lsiminger were honor students. The year ended. The sophs had reached the half-way mark. On the last day of school, the thought uppermost in each mind was that when the class returned, each member would be an upper classman. Each looked forward to this with sincere pleasure.-Ada DiBiase. Room M-1 - Back Row- Joseph Solomon, Edward Wisniewski, Richard Wil- kinson.

After a few trials and tribulations, the members of the class began the ascent. They soon made their presence known in classes, social events, and sports. Class officers were elected in November. Twelve freshmen took part in a very successful talent program, and this gave the class a big boost up the ladder.

Mr. Howard Baker was the faculty adviser to the staff of the first Pleiad. Then no yearbooks were issued for many years. The next annual made its appearance in 1933 and was a mimeographed book known as the Canon Hi Ball. In 1938 the first Canon Log was published under the guidance of Mr. Quincy DiYenno, and a Canon Log has been issued every year since then. The purpose of a school annual is to present an accurate written and pictorial record of each school year that in future years these books may awaken pleasant memories of days spent at Canonsburg High School.

Eight seniors, seven juniors, one sophomore, and one freshman made up the staff. Faculty advisers were Miss Alice Neill and Mr. Hugh Duffy. Today's Gazette is issued six times a year, and each class con- tributes an equal number of members to the staff. The present adviser is Mrs. Marguerite Hiles, who has directed this activity for the past five years. The object in publishing a newspaper is to boost school spirit, influence student thought, encourage achievement in scholarship and sports, foster clean sportsmanship, serve as a medium for unbiased student opinion, and make known to the student body general informa- tion and school regulations. ,SIL Back Row: joseph Mascetta, Virginia Boles, Anthony Colaizzo, Anthony Terling, Fred Sev eryn, Miss Mehaftey-Adviser.

Leslie Emerson, editor of the 1944 Canon Log, took most of the group pictures and snaps for that Log with his own cam- era. At the end of the year, he persuaded the members of his class to purchase a Speed Graphic Camera for the school as a gift from the I944 Senior Class in order that a camera staff might be organized . William Kotylc of the Class of I945 headed the first staff. New equipment has been added each year to further the work of each staff. The members of the 1949 Camera Staff above are Joseph Mascetta, who heads the group, Paul Modrak, Jack Addo- bati, James Taggart, and Donald McVicker. Usherettes as an organization came into being in I947- l 948 when Memorial Stadium was completed and put into use. The girls of this group are courteous and obliging.

For when the Brown and Gold come down the field, All other teams will have to yield! Leading the Brown and Gold Band of Canonsburg High School are six Flag twirlers, seven majorettes, and a drum major. These girls practice long and hard with the band and are always full of pep and ready to march. The girls are chosen for their skill by Mr. Scarci, and each girl serves from the time she is chosen until she graduates. The brown and gold outfits of the Hag twirlers and the white and gold uniforms of the majorettes add color to many a parade, game, or concert. If ever these girls stand quietly by as the band plays, then they honor their school's Alma Mater. All Hail to thee, our Alma Mater, Colors of Brown and Gold Stand as a symbol of our love Kindled in days of old.

The l948 football season introduced Canonsburg's new coach, Al Del..ucia, produced a fighting team, and prepared good material for the year to come. Before l0,000 fans at Washington Stadium, the Gunners began their I948 campaign with a victory that was sweet revenge for the reversal exper- ienced in the dedication game at Memorial Stadium the year previous. ln the game this year, each team had good and bad breaks in the first half. The real Gunner break came as the second quarter opened when Mancini downed the ball he had recovered at the end of the first quarter. ln the grid clash with the Buccaneers the following week, the Gunners permitted the Bucs to leave the field at the half, leading 6-0. The next half was a different story. The Gunners, now alert, scored three times. Gesualcli twisted his way for the first TD, Scarci gathered a long pass and rolled over for the second, and Haney cashed in on an end run for the third. CHS next shattered the Yellow Jackets dreams of no defeat and won their own first game in the Class-A Southwestern Conference Series. Canons- burg came into its own in the second quarter, scoring twice. Two more touch- downs followed in the third and fourth quarters. COACH AL DeLUCIA A strong Duquesne team stopped the winning streak by capitalizing on Canonsburg fumbles in the third and fourth quarters. ln this game the Gunners scored only once in the fourth quarter on a pass from Superick to Scarci. Outlasting the Gunners, Bridgeville defeated them in a close exhibition game when the Gunners failed to convert the extra point after scoring a TD in the final quarter. The 0-0 tie with Homestead eliminated CHS as a W.P.I.A.L. Class-A contender. Pass inter- ceptions and fumbles proved costly in this game. -54- HONORARY CAPTAIN JOE SCARCI FOCTBALL Entering the game with Trinity with visions of victory the Gunners tasted defeat again. This was their first Conference loss. The Gunners secured their only TD in the third quarter. By checking Crafton with desperate stands, the score stood I3-6 at the beginning of the final period. The Cougars, however, scored I2 points in the last three minutes of the game. Defeating Union High, the Gunners won their fourth victory of the season and moved into second place in Conference standings. Modrak secured the first TD in the Hrst period, and Loughman accounted for the winning marker in the second quarter. The curtain went down on the season at the end of the game with Glass- port. joe Scarci, joe Mancini, Jack Hoch, jim Romano, and Steve Superick were named on the first string of the Southwestern Conference All-Stars. Joe Scarci was named on the first string of the W.P.l.A.L. Class-A Team. THE-SCHEDULE Washington .......... Canonsburg 6 .......... Away Chartiers .... Canonsburg 21 .... .... H ome Way nesburg ....

THE W P I A L RELAY CARNIVAL OF 1948 for the first time in track history at Canonsburg High School, the W.P.l.A.L. Relay Car- nival was staged at Memorial Stadium ln Canonslaurg, on April 23 and 24, l948. This was the first time Canonsburg had the facilities for holding such an event. The fine new track and field at Memorial Stadium was put into use for the first time this year. Coach Robert Smith of Canonsburg High School acted as director of the meet and handled the event in a very eflicient manner. Spectators received a thrill when they saw over 500 track and field stars from 25 schools participating in their special events. Nlt. Lebanon won the relay Carnival for the seventh consecutive year. The Canons- burg team of Brown, Severyn, Kifer, and Nlatyuf won the distance medley plaqueg and Terling, Addis, Gress, and Nlatyuf, who comprised the sprint med- ley team, won a second place medal. Dorothy Flowers, a senior was crowned Queen of the Carnival by Mr. Donley Molle- naur, president of the Track Association. Delores Jankowski, Roberta Hulings, Ger- aldine Verchek, and Germaine Orsino were the Queen's attendants. The Queen and her attendants presented plaques and medals to the winners in the meet. The presence of the CHS Band added to the color and spirit of the events. Standing: Roberta Hulings, Dorothy Flowers, the Queen, Geraldine Verchek. Sitting: Delores jankow- ski, Germaine Orsino. TRACK Coach Robert Smith again guided the Gunner Track-Field Team through a very successful i948 season. The local Tracksters began the season by placing third in the indoor Tri-State Coaches' Meet held at South Park. The Thinclads placed firsts in the 50 yard dash, won by Terling, and the mile relay, won by Brown, Pankiewicz, Gress, and Terling. As the outdoor season opened, the use of the fine new track at Memorial Stadium was appreci- ated. The first meet was lost to Penn Hi, the score being 75 2X3 to 60 lf3. Of the fifteen new track and field records written in the books following this meet, seven were set by the Gunners in the first meet ever staged on the new track. The Gunners came back from this initial defeat to table wins through the season over Wilkins- burg, Carrick and Dormont, Ambridge and East Palestine, and Brentwood and Connellsville. ln the Triangular Meet with Dormont and Carrick, Terling broke Koceski's record of 22.4 in the sprints by traveling the distance in 22.2g Addis scored a double victory in the hurdle events: Brown won the 440 yard rung and Toth vaulted 9 feet 6 inches to give another first. ln the meet with Brentwood and Connellsville six track and two field records were shattered. Canonsburg made four of the new records. Next came the W.P.I.A.L. Relays to which the team and townspeople had eagerly looked forward. The Gunners scored nine points and placed eighth in the meet. The Gunners then traveled to Washington for the annual Invitational Meet. ln this meet they finished second in a field of thirteen.

IUNIGR FGOTBALL This year for the first time, Canonsburg Schools had a junior High Football Team. A new field at the south end of Memorial Stadium was prepared for the use of the junior gridders. Coach John Ross was faced with the task of building the team from scratch. He selected his players with care from the Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Grades. The season consisted of four games. The team won two games, lost two, and completed the season by competing in the junior W.P.l.A.L. Football League. The season opened with a hard-earned 8-7 victory over the Mt. Lebanon junior High. The battle was tough, but the junior Gunners were not to be denied. ln the fourth quarter Tony Pierchalski found a hole in the Mounties line and romped 50 yards down the Field for a touchdown. The following week at Memorial Stadium, the junior Gunners played host to a strong Penn Township junior Team and came out on a short score of I4 to 2. The team next traveled to Uniontown and made their record a two to one by defeating the Uniontowners I3-6. Tony Pierchalski scored both the touchdowns after his team was behind at the half, 6-0. The last game of the season was played with Washington at the Washington Stadium. The junior Prexies were too tough. They handed the junior Gunners their worst de- feat, 20-0. The forming of a Junior Football Team will provide the Gunners in future years with seasoned material and will give younger boys a chance to learn football before coming to high school. -69... THE.
