Howard Lee The Senior Class oi Carnegie High School Carnegie, Pennsylvania presents the 1953 VOYAGER entitled SHOWBOAT Dedication In deep appreciation of her forty years of untiring work, her willingness to help, her desire to better the scholastic stand- ing of the school, her patience, and above all, her friendliness to us and many students before us, we the class of 1953 with pleas- ure dedicate this VOYAGER to Jane M. A. Fleming, who retires this year after forty-nine years of service in the Pennsylvania school system, forty of which were in the Carnegie system as a teacher and principal. 4 Foreword It had been our aim to present an accurate portrayal of the undergraduate activities here at Carnegie High during the past year. We have attempted to record the various accomplishments by word and picture. Without the guidance of Miss Dickenson and the untiring efforts of the mem- bers of the staff, we would have been unable to publish this book. To these people, then, we should all be grateful. So, as you look through the pages of this book, we hope that you will find here in essence all the moments, sweet or bitter, glorious or humble, tiresome or exciting, that go to make up one year—this year—within the time-battered walls of Carnegie High School.

Student Council chooses the dates for dances and for all other important events which come up in school. It also arranges the dates for the as- semblies, which are held at the library. The two faculty advisors for this year are Miss Mason and Mrs. Mikus. 11 DOCTOR HICKES Dr. Hickes, who attended Glassport High School, returned after his studies in Indiana State Teachers' College to be a teacher as well as a coach. He has used his experience for the betterment of Car- negie Public Schools. In the two short years that he has been here, he has won many friends as well as the admiration of the students. Dr. Hickes, who replaced Mr. Glasser, is always happy to add in any way to the success of Carnegie and its schools. The VOYAGER congratulates Dr. Hickes on his great success and wishes him health and happiness in his years as our superintendent. RUTH WALTON A resident of Carnegie, Miss Walton is at her desk every morning ready to continue her duties as Dr. Hickes secre- tary. Her first two years were spent with Mr. Lee; the next three with Mr. Glasser; and the past two years with Dr. Hickes. They have added up to seven years of competent service in Carnegie High School. Although she is always very busy. Miss Walton finds time to at- tend football games and other activities. With all this work, Miss Walton always finds a few spare moments to help the students and has won herself many ar- dent friends. 12 MR. LEE Mr. Lee, our principal, was born in Houston, Pennsylvania. He attended Crosscreek Township High School and then entered Muskingum College. After many years of work as a teacher, chem- ist, and an instructor in chemistry, he arrived in Carnegie to teach. He has been our principal for sixteen years. In these years he has given guidance to the seniors and advice to the new fresh- men. He has, as the financial advisor for the year book, made this series of THE VOYAGER as successful as possible. The VOYAGER and the Class of '53 want to express their deepest appreciation. BARBARA WILLIAMS Barbara, a graduate of Carnegie High School, returned to her alma mater two years ago to occupy the position of Mr. Lee's secretary. Barb, as she is called by many of the students, has taken the place of Norma Grant, and we must ad- mit that she's doing a marvelous job. Barbara is the sponsor of the sophomore Tri-Hi-Y. 13 J.

Senior Oiiicers The senior class of 1953 elected four very capable students to lead them for their last year in high school. These well-chosen people are Donald Snyder, presi- dent; Matthew Botsford, vice president; Joan Moore, secretary; and Joan Pesa- vento, treasurer. Don is very efficient and dependable as president. He is usually found in Room 5 talking about class activities with Miss Cochran, the senior class sponsor. Although buried knee-deep in class business, he manages to keep his grades high. Bo, the tall, blue-eyed blond, doesn't have a very big job to do, but if he were ever called on, one could certainly depend on him to do a good job. Joan Moore is our very capable secretary. Joan is the short senior girl with the long blond hair always seen busily writing the minutes at the class meetings. Joan takes her position very seriously and makes a wonderful secretary. Joan Pesavento is the keeper of our funds. She is forever writing notices on the board that the senior class dues are still payable. She manages to keep her accounts in perfect order. 21 Seniors JOHN ADZIMA Glee Club 10; Choir 11, 12; Baseball; Varsity C 11; Maga- zine Campaign 12. Known as Lefty . . .

S., we will remember our teachers who have helped us and prepared us for our life beyond school. You have given your considera- tion, time, and help to even the most trivial matter which we brought before you. With your guidance we shall try to acquire success after graduation. When graduation is over, it will be our past school life which will have so much influence on our lives to come; without our teachers there would have been no school life. With the close of our school days, we thank you, our teach- ers, for making our Class of '53 better prepared for the problems that we will be faced with. Our only regret is that we cannot repay our teachers in our own Carnegie High School. We hope your memories of us can be half as sweet as ours of you. Our gratitude remains immeasurable. 37 Donald Snyder Nancy English William Grove Levina Bajoras Blair Todino Genevieve Guerriero Outstanding Seniors These students are the outstanding seniors of the Class of 1953. This year the selection of this group was made in the same way as it was last year: the faculty nominated the seniors, and the VOYAGER staff elected them. Their per- sonality, popularity, participation in the extracurricular activities of the school, 38 Evelyn Maestri Russell Homo Nancy Zebraskey Dean Chappel lilene lewis Matthew Botsford Outstanding Seniors athletic ability, and character were taken into consideration during the voting. These people certainly deserve the honor that they have received, and Carnegie High is proud of them. There is no question in anyone's mind that these are the outstanding seniors of the Class of 1953. We hope that they continue to remain outstanding in whatever field they may choose. 39 LEADS CAST Sitting: Fender, Chappel. Standing: Anther, Miller. First Row: Carson, Walton.

Father Of The Bride DIRECTORS Colville, Mr. Novelli, Obenour Friday, March 13, 1953, is a date that will never be forgotten by the seniors of '53. On this day FATHER OF THE BRIDE was presented at the Carnegie Library Auditorium. Backstage, before the play got under way, there was con- fusion and excitement among the stage crew, di- rectors, and cast, while out front the parents, friends, and relatives of the students were anx- iously waiting for the curtain to rise. The lights were dimmed, and everyone was quiet. The curtain went up, and the first act went along smoothly. The second and third acts were even better. The audience applauded approvingly. The play was a success! This was due to the hard work and co-operation of cast, committees, and directors. This year we again borrowed the very effi- cient Mr. Nicholas Novelli from our rival, Scott High, to direct the play. He did a wonderful job of directing, and the seniors appreciated the con- sideration and patience he had with them. This was the climax of one of the happiest days of their lives. March 13, 1953, is the date that added one more pearl to their string of memories. 40 Aren't you going to kiss me? A regular gab session. You've got it crooked! Dress Rehearsal.

They canvassed the area for many weeks, resulting in a grand total of $2890.38 and a profit of $948.82. Since there were four senior home rooms, four captains were chosen. They were Eleanore Spinda, Barbara Ratajack, Rose Turko, and Joan Pesavento. Nancy Zebraskey and Lilene Lewis took care of the money matters as business managers. Everything ran smoothly with Miss Cochran, the class sponsor, keeping an account of all the money brought in. The sale of magazines by each senior class helps in pay- ment for the publishing of their VOYAGER. Don't you think the senior class did a fine job? 42 Congratulations to you, the Class of 1953, from the underclassmen of Carnegie High . . 43 44 45 ABOVE.

Junior High This year the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades were assembled into a junior high. The junior high is located at Harding School. It certainly was strange on the first day of school not to see any shy little freshmen wan- dering about the halls of C. H. S. asking where a certain room was. The students of the junior high have or- ganized several clubs such as we of the senior high have. They also have a student council and publish a newspaper known as the Tartan Times which is similar to the See. Thus the jun- ior high has been a very active group. We are sorry to see three of our very well-liked teachers, Miss Fry, Mr. Giannangelo, and Mr. Sawhill, leave C. H. S. to teach at the junior high, but we know they are a welcome addition there. 59 60 61 Evelyn Maestri Editor Miss Mason Advisor The “SEE” Our School Newspaper First Row: Quinn, Schiavi, Stoab, Primo- zich.

Every member realizes this and tries to live up to its motto, Noblesse oblige. Students from the junior and senior classes are eligible for member- ship. They are selected only if they are out- standing in all four requirements, which are: leadership, scholarship, service, and honor. All new members are voted on by the faculty. The initials LSSH appear on the pin, a President Vice President Secretary keystone crossed by a flaming torch. These initials signify the four requirements. The only activity of this society is the in- duction service. The seniors wear caps and gowns, and all new members are given mem- bership cards. This is always a very impres- sive ceremony. The society and its pin are recognized na- tionally, and all who wear its pin realize the great privilege bestowed upon them.

Dramateur Club President Vice President Secretary Treasurer The Dramateur Club is one of the most popular clubs in school. The membership is limited to fifty persons, who are chosen from the sophomore, junior, and senior classes. Tryouts are held at the beginning of the year, and all are anxious to see whether or not they have been accepted. After the new members have been chosen, they await that most dreaded of all nights, initiation night. The initiations are pretty rough, but all come out alive with only a few scratches, flour in their hair, and blue dye on their hands as tem- porary souvenirs. The president of the club this year was Mike Fabrizio Barbara Ratajack Cathy Veard Levina Bajoras Mike Fabrizio, and Miss Hepler was the spon- sor. Business meetings were held during fifth period on the second Friday of each month, and social meetings were held after school on the fourth Tuesday of each month. During the meetings a group of club members enact a short play or skit. The members of the club usually attend two plays a year at Carnegie Tech. On No- vember 21, 1952, a group went to see Golden Boy. One complete production a year is pre- sented by the members at the library and is seen by students and teachers alike. 64 The Camero Club Our Camera Club's sponsor is Mr. Burkett. The purpose of the club is to teach its members the fundamentals of photography, the devel- opment of films, enlargement of pictures, and printing of them. A part of each regular meet- ing is devoted to such work. Experience in the dark room actually takes place. Since the organization of the Camera Club, its members have taken informal snap- shots for the Voyager. Meetings are held twice a month, the first and third Fridays of President Vice President Secretary Treasurer every month. Thirty members is its maximum, and fifty cents is required for dues for a sem- ester. Officers for the year are elected at the end of the previous school term. Students interested in photography and those who would like to become a member of this club hand their applications in to the club's officers. All applications are rated by the members of the club and have to be approved by the faculty.

Tri-Hi-Y President Vice President Secretary Treasurer The Tri-Hi-Y is made up of girls who are interested in promoting Christian ideals and good citizenship and also in having fun. The Tri-Hi-Y is under the leadership of the Y. M. C. A. and is the girls' division of the Hi-Y. The Y. M. C. A. sponsors many activities for the club such as the officers' training camp at Grove City, a week-end of fun at Camp Kon-o- Kwee, and a convocation service at Heinz Chapel in the fall. The girls have social meet- Nancy English Dorothy Carson Margie Clayton Barbara Witzel ings as well as business meetings. At the so- cial meetings they have movies, speakers, or basketball and volleyball games. At their an- nual Christmas party all the girls bring toys which are taken to an orphanage later. The activities of the Tri-Hi-Y are financed by the selling of Christmas wreaths and the annual May Queen dance. Mrs. Sawhill is the advisor of the Tri-Hi-Y. It is with her advice and help that the club is kept running smoothly. 66 Hi-Y The Hi-Y, sponsored by Mr. Logon, is a group fellowship organization which seeks to create, maintain, and extend Christian charac- ter. This organization is connected with the downtown Y. M. C. A. The club helps to sup- port the weekly Canteens and donates the material to decorate the school at Christmas. The club has a basketball team and plays neighboring schools. Each year it combines with the Tri-Hi-Y and sponsors a swimming party at the Y. M. C. A. This club donates to the yearly project, which at this time has not been chosen. Last year's project was the adop- tion of a war baby and donating money for its clothes and food.

Girls’ Athletic President Vice President Sesretary Treasurer The Girls' Athletic Association has again upheld its original purpose of instilling clean sportsmanship and developing grace and agility in its members. The requirements for membership in the G. A. A. are that a girl has participated in some particular sport. Applications for mem- bership are voted on by the girls. The Association sold candy at the foot- ball games held on the home grounds. The Association Irene Auther Jean Walton Ida Mae Pica Julia Dozen proceeds were shared with the Athletic Asso- ciation. The G. A. A. is one of the most active clubs in the school, and the annual skating party is one of its highlights. In the spring of the year the club holds a mother-and-daugh- ter banquet. At this event the new officers for the coming year are announced. Mrs. Pruner, our former sponsor of the G. A. A., has re- signed, and in her place is Mrs. Blyth. 68 Varsity “C” Under the sponsorship of Mr. Giannan- gelo, the Varsity C is a club that nearly all the fellows would like to belong to, but not everyone of them achieves his goal. This is the only club where membership is not based on popularity. In order to belong to the Var- sity C , a boy must first earn a letter in at least one or more of the major sports of the school, which takes a lot of time and hard work. The boys who do receive letters are very proud of them, and can always be seen displaying them on their jackets around the school. Their chief purpose is to raise money to help pay for injuries that occur during com- petitive sports. In order to raise money, the Varsity C sponsors a skating party and other club affairs. The boys are very proud of this club and do all they can to keep it a success. President Marvin Snyder Treasurer Jerome Ferguson First Row: Reate, Ferguson, Snyder, Klim.

Commercial Club President Vice President Secretary Treasurer The club for future secretaries of Car- negie High is none other than the Commer- cial Club. This is the twenty-second year since the club was first started. The purpose of this club is to add to the Commercial Department of the school. This year the club joined with the See in purchasing a new electric type- writer. Because there is no grade limit, the club now has thirty-nine members. Since an- Loretta Tyrone Jane Jordan Barbara Matalka Genevieve Guerriero other purpose of the club is to teach the girls the ways and means of becoming a secretary, they have many good speakers in office habits and good grooming. The club sponsored a Valentine's dance on February 14. This club, sponsored by Miss Jane Boyle, has done much to aid in the efficiency of the future secretaries of Carnegie High School. 70 Rifle Club The Rifle Club of Carnegie High School was organized in 1947 under the leadership of Mr. Robb. It has been gradually growing in popularity and mem- bership since its organization. Prospective members have to try out by firing ten shots. Those with the highest scores are considered for membership. Mr. Robb teaches each new member how to handle a gun carefully and correctly. During the year ihe club has matches with other teams from local schools. The main match is wilh Oakmont. Usually the club sponsors some social event, a dance or a skating party, to raise money to pay for the purchase of new equipment. The members practice at Harding School every Wednesday evening.

This group played the background music for the stage show, consisting of vocal solos, dances, and several demon- strations introduced by the master of ceremonies, Donald Snyder. The Swing Band spent much time practicing during the win- ter, but the entertainment provided by them in the concert was well worth every period of practice. 77 78 � 79 IM Athletic Association The Athletic Association is in charge of everything in the field of athletics. It is composed of the different coaches of the school and the two physical educa- tion teachers. Scheduling games, providing transportation, and handling the financial affairs of our sports events take much time and work from this group. The stu- dents of the high school are thankful to these people for the full schedule of sports that help to make school fun each year. 80 Kneeling: Mathe, Gerrero, Undo Lewis, Sandrus, Rankin.

In the summer their evenings are spent at the field practicing every day for the coming football season. During football season many happy moments will never be forgotten as the team went undefeated. The cheerleaders are: Seniors: Lilene Lewis, the captain they always called Mama ; Dee Fek- ula, especially interested in the games and with lots of pep; Gen Guerriero, the energy- filled one who never stopped talking or cheer- ing. Juniors: Jeanne Gerrero, always wanted flips or cartwheels in the cheers; Bobbie San- drus, quiet and as neat as a pin. Sophomores: Ginny Mathe, who put her whole heart in cheering; Ruthie Rankin, who never said much but adhered plenty. Mascot: Linda Lewis, the cute, peppy four-year-old. All in all, they en- joyed every minute of cheering and will never forget it. 81 — Our Undefeated Team A Carnegie 0 Dormont 0 Carnegie opened the 52- 53 season at Dormont. The game was played to a 0-0 deadlock. Both teams made long drives into each other's terri- tory, but these drives failed as far as the scor- ing was concerned. Marking the game was the 60 yard pass Botsford completed to Lasota in the second half and the attempt for a field goal in the last ten seconds of play. Carnegie 20 Bridgeville 7 Carnegie downed Bridgeville 20-7 in their first home game of the season. Carnegie was tied 7-7 at the half, moving into the lead in the fourth quarter, when they made two touchdowns. Reale scored the first touchdown from the Bridge- ville two. Shinko's conversion was good. Bots- ford made the second touchdown. Shinko's sec- ond conversion was also good. A Botsford-to- Shinko pass was good and also the conversion, resulting in a win for Carnegie. Carnegie 13 Elders Ridge 6 Carnegie picked up its second win of the season from Elder's Ridge. Carnegie made its scores against the Ridge in the first quarter on a pass from Botsford to Zemon, and in the fourth quar- ter on a hand-off from Reale to Shinko with Shinko's conversion good. Zemon received Bots- ford's pass in the first quarter after it was de- flected from the hands of a Ridge player, who nearly broke up the play.

The Carnegie score was 13 points at the end of the first period, 20 at the half, 33 at the conclusion of the third quarter and 39 at the game's end. Moon re- ceived its two points when they got a safety in the final period after giving up the ball to Car- negie on downs at the Carnegie 3 yard line. It was the deepest penetration made by the town- ship squad. The game was highlighted by a 50 yard run for the goal by Botsford which open- ed the second half. Otherwise, the Carnegie club clicked off scores with machine-like precision. Carnegie 14 Stowe 6 Carnegie traveled to Stowe and downed the home team by a score of 14-6. Botsford ran over the goal line twice in the third quarter to give us the lead with Shinko making both con- versions. The first touchdown came on a 35 yard run; his second, a 3 yard plunge. Stowe got its tally in the last minute of the second quarter. They threatened only once more in the ball game. Carnegie got 16 first downs to Stowe's 8. Carnegie 39 Chartiers Twp. 7 It took only six plays for Carnegie to show their stuff in the Chartiers game. Following a kick- off to Chartiers, Botsford intercepted a pass, and in five plays he took the ball over the goal line. Following a successful conversion by Shinko, Car- negie again kicked to Chartiers, who fumbled on their own 30, setting up a 4 play touchdown march which ended with a quarterback sneak by Botsford. Shinko again gave the extra point. In the third period Carnegie picked up two more T.D.'s, one by Reale on an 11 yard run, and the other by Shinko on a 20 yard run. Nidbella re- covered a fumble and ran 78 yards, to be spec- tacularly stopped by a Chartiers player. Miller went over for the final score. Chartiers' only score came in the fourth quarter, when Licey took the pigskin over. Anderson's conversion was good. Carnegie 41 Glassport 0 Carnegie stayed in the Class B running by de- feating Glassport. Carnegie began to roll in the second quarter. The first score came on a run by Getty from the Glassport 6 yard line. Later in the period, Snyder fell on a kick, which he blocked in the end zone. The third touchdown came on a 31 yard pass from Snyder to Getty. Later in the game Snyder again blocked a punt. After two plays Botsford went over on a quar- terback sneak. Homa intercepted a Glassport pass on the eight and went over for a score. The final scoring saw Walters intercept a Glassport pass and Miller completed a pass to Wilczek on the Glassport 3 yard line. After two plays Swent- kowsky took it over. Shinko made 5 conversions in this game. Carnegie 46 Mars 0 Carnegie's scoring against Mars began in the second period when Botsford picked up a tally on a quarterback sneak and Shinko made the conversion. Shinko's conversion was also good later in the period after a Botsford-to-Getty pass was good for 55 yards and a TD. The half ended after Carnegie's third score was made on a Bots- ford-to-Snyder 22 yard pass and the record showed 20-0. In the third quarter Shinko passed to Botsford picking up 55 yards, making it 26-0 and Reale made a one yard plunge with Shinko's extra point good for 33-0. Ferguson ran 15 yards to open the fourth period scoring for Car- negie with Shinko again getting a point and the final six points were made by Miller on a two yard plunge. Carnegie 27 Crafton 0 Carnegie blanked neighboring Crafton despite the fact that the scoring was limited to two quar- ters. Zemon picked up the first score in this game when he took a lateral from Botsford on the Carnegie 40 and went for a touchdown. Shinko's conversion was good. A 59 yard run by Getty after he took a pass from Shinko gave Carnegie another score, and a Botsford-to-Zemon pass with Shinko's second conversion gave Car- negie 20 points as the half ended. Crafton's deepest penetration was to the Carnegie 20 yard line. A drive from their own twenty gave Carnegie their next touchdown on a Botsford-to- Shinko pass good for 35 yards which ended this drive with a T.D., and Shinko's conversion left the score at 27-0. Carnegie 35 Scott Twp. 12 Carnegie ended their most successful football season by remaining undefeated even defeat- ing their rival Scott. The first period showed no score. After a 60 yard march, Carnegie was stopped on the Scott one yard line just short of a first down—the closest play of the quarter. Both teams scored in the second period. Botsford ran over on a plunge to rack up the first tally for Carnegie, and a Botsford-to-Snyder pass of 30 yards was good for the second with Shinko mak- ing the conversions good. Fritsch of Scott threw a pass to Baker 30 seconds before the end of the half to score for Scott. A running play failed to give the home team its extra point. Getty scored in the third quarter. In the final period of play Carnegie scored twice and Scott once. Shinko and Ferguson went over for Carnegie's scores, and Fritch threw a pass to Scottie and it was completed for a T.D. 84 First Row: Knepper, Kyle, F. Sentner, Lewis, P. Sentner, Ferguson.

Last day of school—Remember us! 93 Acknowledgment Publishing a yearbook like the VOYAGER would be impossible without the work and cooperation of many people. One of the greatest rewards of guiding the production of this book has been my association with these people. Most of them receive little recognition for their service and ask none. While written words do not suffice to express my gratitude, I should like to take this last bit of space for a brief acknowledgment of my appreciation. First, a heartfelt well done to every member of this year's staff. Each of you has made a substantial contribution to the book, and though space does not permit mention of your individual parts, I hope that you will find a reward in the finished results of our combined effort. In particular, I should like to thank the following people for assistance, will- ingly given, that went far beyond anything that was my right to ask. Lilene Lewis, Picture Editor, without whom I might never have gotten the book to press. Her contribution is immeasurable. I can only offer one more Thanks, 'Diamond', for everything. Miss Louise Dickenson, our Faculty Advisor, for the confidence in us which often seemed over confidence but which kept us going when the job seemed impossible. Mr. Lee, our Financial Advisor, for his invaluable advice on financial problems. Rosser Studio for their promptness in delivering the pictures which helped us meet our deadlines. Mr. McWilliams of the John Ollier Engraving Co. for his advice and assistance with engraving problems. Mr. Walter L. Wyant of Kurtz Bros., our printer, for his exceptional cooperation, his patience with our mistakes, and his willingness to put long hours of unre- warded overtime in the fight to get the book out on time without sacrificing quality. Teachers for their patience when their classes were interrupted by us when pic- tures for the VOYAGER were being taken. 94 —The Editor Farewell from Class of 53 Autographs ‘ (mwivjiui1 v Tr sn y 7 “ yy� 'v' t v r rnmnwirf fff' vrjn Wl M t|S ' ' ' Wv -'ft V$� 5fl wVtKr ■ Yit-Hx •' X v • ' WW5 S S V3 P ’ • , • v XN.
