We love thee with honor, glory, and spirit, praise thee in all We do. And We will be faithful to thee forever, Alina Mater true Hail to Carnegie, We pledge now our loyalty. Hail Alina Mater, thy children sing praise to thee. 2 w 1 4 We dedicate this book to the alumni of Carnegie High School- from the first brave handful in 1896 through sixty years of growth. We are proud of our alumni, and we are grateful to them for giving us that history and tradition which We so greatly honor and of which we so proudly boast. Our high school has a long and colorful history. This history and tradition were made by the students and teachers, made with their ideals and efforts. For over half a century, one building served as the home of our high school. It housed the ambitions, ideals, efforts, and thoughts of every student. Now that building is gone. One page in our history is completed, and a fresh one is started. But though buildings change, the spirit remains the same. Though We have left the first real home of C.H.S., We have brought with us to the new building that eager ambition, that true desire to better ourselves, and that spirit of loyalty that have been common to the halls of our alma mater for sixty fruitful years. A r I X I fn A , s R I '13, IIF' f- li-'Vx iN - S 5 5. 13,1154 i 3 The history of our Alma Mater from its beginning through a steady, unfaltering growth of . . . 60 Years it ,, I 60 Years ln the year 1894 Chartiers and Mansfield bor- oughs were united into one borough called Car- negie in honor of Andrew Carnegie, the great financier and steel master. One year later a joint school board of six men was elected to consider the new boroughis edu- cational needs. They decided an institution of more advanced standing than the existing schools should be established. Many citizens of the bor- ough opposed such a school because they felt that the resulting taxes would be too high. Some felt that the unpreparedness of the children would make it difficult for them to undertake advanced work, and, also, that there was not a centrally located building which could adequate- ly house such an institution. The board, firm in their feeling that such an institution was a neces- sity in order to provide high educational advan- tages for the youth of the community, continued their preparations for opening a high school. In September, 1896, Thomas 1. George, who had been elected principal of the second ward school, gave up that office to become principal and or- ganizer of the high school. Fortunately, the W. C. T. U. building was secured to house the new high school. This building was located at the present site of the Elks' Hall and became the third high school in Allegheny County. At first, the high school education of an individual was 6 Mr. Thomas I. George to last only three years, but a fourth year was added. At that time pupils from Midway and Oakdale came to our high school for their sen- ior year. The first class was comprised of students ea- ger for a higher education. The faculty consist- ed of Mr. George and Miss Florence P. Davis. During the first year two literary societies were organized. They were named the Philoi' and the Potter.v Money obtained by a small ad- mission charge for their performances was in- vested in pictures, pianos, victrolas, and some statues, although most statues were donated by local clubs. Every student belonged to one or the other of these groups, and there was intense feeling among members, such as the rivalry to- day among modern college fraternity members. When these clubs presented their debates to the students in later years, the library was filled to capacity. Carnegie High Schoolis football team made its appearance in 1897. The squad was dressed, according to the times, in padded suits, with nose and shin guards. Their 'Enever quiti' spirit still survives in the spirit of the team members even to this day. Twelve students made up the first graduating class in 1899. The commencement program of that year must have been very interesting indeed, for it included a debate on a very touchy prob- lem at the time, Should Women Have the Right of Suffragefw The two debaters were Keturah Reno and Mary Lea. The first valedictorian was Clyde Atchinson of the classical course. Also on the program was an address by Dr. J. P. Duff. The commercial course, which still ranks high in importance in C. H. S., was introduced in 1904 by Professor R. S. Doyle. It included sten- ography, typing, commercial arithmetic, com- mercial law, and English. Also in that year was the first class basketball team. The outHts worn by the players resembled more or less those worn in football today. Mr. George became the first superintendent of the Carnegie public schools in 1911, when the superintendency was created. The standing of the high school in 1908 is revealed by the following, quoted from an of- ficial report of W. S. Hertzog, state high school inspector: of school and community, very excellent, av- erage age of graduating class, 1735, attitude of school directors, very excellent, very strong work is being done. This is the strongest three- year high school 1 have visited in the state. The orchestra, which had a humble beginning in 1912, was the first organization for instrument- al music in C. H. S. Prior to this, there were various small groups of instrumentalists formed by students. Since this time music in all its forms has had an important part in C. H. S., and at present there is a swing band comparable to an orchestra. The first operetta ever produced by the high school was given in the early spring of 1913. It was produced solely by the senior class and was held in 1929. When Mr. Glasser first came here, there was no paid coach for the football games, and our chief rival was Crafton. In 1913 after three quarters, the game was called be- cause of a terrible fight caused by a biased ref- eree. In those days there was only one oflicial, instead of the present three. One annual was published before the first VOYACER, and that was in 1915. The name of that first yearbook was The Censor and a policy, which has since been abandoned, that of solicit- ing funds, was used to get that first yearbook published. William Love and Mike Bachrach were instrumental in getting those funds collect- Character of instruction, very good, spirit ed. cis, fig! ,fi7i5l745i3ii 1fQ4'WZ g:zfQ !4fb'f?ff-2-,ass-255456 f,f,.,1 of -.1fg-5a-- ---1--..F X '? ,11' 5 inf ,iff . - , 5 . ag r 2 T laflllil' E -5 f 1 ., 1- rl-.

The Mandolin Club was organized on january 29, 1915. The G Clef and Clee Clubs also came into being in 1915. Girls' athletics really had no part in C. H. S. until 1916, when a girls, basketball team Was formed. The team played a schedule similar to the boys, varsity. The year 1924-1925 was a momentous one in C. H. S. Our yearbook, the VOYACER, came into ex- istence in 1925. The magazine campaign, which still goes strong at the beginning of each school year and which is sponsored by the senior class, had its origin in 1925. Since the publishing of the second VOYACER the senior class, by all of their hard work, has helped meet the annual deficit. Mr. Covey organized the first girls, swimming team in that year. The girls, basketball coach, Miss Ag- nes Stoughton, had a small turnout for the team, and as a result, they lost the majority of their games. Helen Prosser, the artist for the 1927 VOYAGER, designed the ship which is the source of the eu- graving on the standard high school ring. The athletic Held Was first used for contests by the football team in the fall of 1929. Fourteen com- mencements have been held on the athletic Held Without being postponed on account of the Weather. Under the direction of Walter H. Cameron, pres- ent-day director, the first band of C. H. S. prepared to hold its first concert in the spring of 1930. The next season they played at the football games, and uniforms were purchased in 1931. There were sev- enty-seven members enrolled in the first band. 8 Mr. R. E. Knarr, principal from 1926 to 1936, began many policies to strengthen the already firm foundation of Carnegie High. . History in the Making Mr. H. Howard Lee, principal from 1937- l954, left Carnegie to teach chemistry at Wash- ington and Iefferson College. The Senior Choral Club, consisting of seventy members, made its debut in 1931. The choosing of the May Queen and her attendants was spon- sored by this group. It Was similar to our pres- ent mixed choir. Athletic management of C. H. S. dates back to 1921 when the Athletic Association was or- ganized by Coach Weaver for the purpose of supervising athletic activities of the school. In 1931 they started the policy of giving letters to varsity athletes. The ever popular G. A. A. was formed in 1932 under the sponsorship of Miss Corbett. It Was iMr. Norman L. Glasser, superintendent from 1926-1952, maintained Carnegieis prestige and high academic standards throughout his ad- ministration. in 1932, as it still is, one of the largest and most active groups in C. H. S. The baseball team was the most successful team that year, winning the WPIAL champion- ship. One day early in the school year of 1933 mu- sic emanated from the upper halls of the build- ing. It was the beginning of the Senior En- semble, Whose members studied music more dif- ficult than that usually studied. Because of the increased popularity of vocal music, a male dou- ble quartet Was organized in 1935. After many years it is still an outstanding vocal group, made up of the best male voices from the Choir. The first standard ring was used first by the class of 1933 or 1934. A chapter of the National Honor Society was installed in C. H. S. with the sole purpose of honoring students Who had attained high scho- lastic, service, leadership, and honor standards. lt is still the most respected and honored group in Carnegie High. This same year, 1936, saw also the fortieth anniversary of the school. With Ruggerio Aldisert as editor, The See had its beginning in the spring of 1937. Before this a Weekly CarhighWeev was published. Up un- til 1954-1955, when it became bi-monthly, The See was a Weekly newspaper. Desiring a nickname for C. H. S. in 1939, a poll was taken and a student vote. The Winning name was Little Tartans. Orange and black have been the colors for as far back as anyone can remember. We may think nowadays that majorettes have been in C. H. S. for years, but they are fairly new. There had been a drum major for several years, but in 1940 the first drum majorettes made their appearance. Our 1940 football team was really terrific- eight wins, one tie, and one defeat. Flag twirlers were added to the band in 1942, also in that year the band played for men leav- ing under the Selective Service Act. Musically, C. H. S. had three additions in 1942 - the A Cap- pella Choir, the Triple Trio, and the Mixed En- semble. A club now non-existant in C. H. S. was start- ed 1942 to provide extra-curricular work for art students interested in advanced work such as making scenery. It was called the junior Scarab Club. The Tri-Hi-Y was started in 1946 and since its organization has grown to be one of the most popular in the school. Katherine Nolf was the first sponsor, and Eleanor McDonald was the first president. During the first year they secured canned goods for war-torn Europe. The Robinson Township Tri-Hi-Y ofliciated at the induction of the new Carnegie Club. Also in 1946 two C. H. S. students participated in the junior Town Meeting of the air. They were Charlene Tohey and Don Yourd. The topic of discussion was a very interesting one, What place should women have in post-war industry?,' In 1950 to help the cheerleaders cheer our football team on to victory, the Pep Club, with Miss Walton as sponsor, was organized. This club was proof of the true loyalty of the students to their team. The French Club was organized in 1951, with Miss Coogle as sponsor and her dog Bijou Cno, not a French poodlell as mascot. Carnegie had something to be proud of in their sports department this year. Skirpan went on to the WPIAL wrestling tournament and was crowned champion of the 165-pound division. He then went on to Johnstown to compete in the PIAA, where he lost a tough one that would have made him state champion. This year was the first year of the newly organized junior high at Harding School. Plans were started for a new high school in 1952, but it took a few years to make these plans a reality. That year was the Hrst for our capable present-day superintendent, Dr. Roy Hickes. It also saw the retirement of Mr. Glasser, who had served forty-seven years in Pennsylvania, with thirty-eight of those years in Carnegie. He was well loved by all, and it was with regret that C. H. S. said good-by to him. Bosko Skirpan made it this year! He was the first state wrestling champion in the history of C. H. S. 1952 was also our year for football. Regardless of other games, the one with Scott is the most important. We won by the score of 33-6. Wonderful! In 1958-54, Mr. Lloyd Garrett became the new principal of the Harding junior High, replacing the beloved Miss jane Fleming. Also in this school year a new Hi-Y club, the Novus, and a new Tri-Hi-Y club, the Colden Prule, were or- ganized because of the popularity of the Y clubs. The Hrst junior class play, presented by the class of 1954, was The Curious Savagef' Car- negie again went to the wrestling WPIAL in the persons of Chuck Knepper, Fred Sentner, and Paul Sentner. Mr. H. H. Lee accepted the job of chemistry instructor at Washington and jefferson College and had to leave us. We were all sad to see him go, and we will not soon forget him. In this same year, 1955, the last class was graduated from the old building. What a sad thing to think that this meant the end of the building which holds precious memories for many. One of the most wonderful people and a true friend to the students taught her last year, after teach- ing Latin and English in C. H. S. for many years. It was with sadness that we bade Miss Agnes Nesbitt good-by at an assembly in her honor. She is one teacher who will remain in the hearts of many. She, along with the seniors, walked down the athletic field at graduation as usual, but it was her last time as senior advisor. 1955 was a year for changes! Mr. Iames E. Knarr, who had taught at C. H. S., returned as principal in place of Mr. Lee. His father had also been principal of our school in past years. Musically, we saw a small changeg the Triple Trio was changed to the Girls, Ensemble. There was an increase of three girls in order to give the group more volume and to allow them to sing four-part music. In sports, basketball was tops. The varsity had a terrific team, and the B squad, the varsity of 1956, started their reign as basketball leaders in the sectiong they went undefeated. Fred Sentner represented our wrestlers in WPIAL and advanced to the PIAA, where he lost. Now we are up to the present year of 1956, with a long history be- hind us. Things of joy, sorrow, gaiety and never-to-be-forgotten mischiefs that have occurred in C. H. S. are recalled. No one who has attended Car- negie High School, whether in the old or new building, shall ever forget it, and we shall always cherish fond memories of our school days when all the world was green and we were very young. C .f T 2 15,451 S Q IKE . x Nv f ' ADMINISTRATION Mr. Thomas JeHerson George Principal C1897-19111 Superintendent C1911-1926l Died - 1931 No man ever devoted himself to his profession with greater singleness of purpose than Thomas jefferson George. His high moral seriousness, his spirit of work, and his strict discipline en- abled him to educate his students not only in their regular schoolwork but in the orderly hab- its of living. His own loyalty and perseverance instilled in the students a high sense of loyalty to the school. But in spite of his belief in strenuous Work, Mr. George was not a pedant. So sincere was Pappy,' Georgeis interest in the students that he knew each one by his first name and would shake hands on meeting. He would follow the activities of his students after graduation and knew what many graduates were doing. Each Christmas saw him playing Santa Claus, buying the biggest red apples and giving one to each boy and girl. One of the courses that Mr. George advocated was mental arithmetic to make his students more alert and able to think more ac- curately. Through his elforts Carnegie High School earned in its early days a reputation of very high scholastic standing. . ,-,. ,- .,,. if . , -- Q i ' - l ti 'f -- ' iffflffi ' i 'W '- , , ar -we-.1 -. t. grief 2 fe1 Me- ' f ww g' , -3 v gs, f ti, K-.:fr,f,..w ig, I ' . .s 4 ,, fr - . , - I ,fm wa! 4-, ' - .- - . , in . . , . .5 1. 5 mg , .Q,,. if A .,,. - ' , , . - A 'V W - isis! - i 1 F 'W - - . gl 1 --'?+f.'i1x'.f,' '. 1. 1. 11, N i 5 if , - ,f ' r M1 : 5' 5? .

Car- negie High School has gone a long way in sixty years, and over 3,700 students have been grad- uated from its halls. Yet that spirit of hard work, loyalty, service, and strong character begun by Mr. Thomas J. George lives on as strong as ever in the halls of our alma mater. Dr. Roy M. Hickes Dr. Roy M. Hickes, who attended, taught at, coached at, and was principal of Glassport High School, came to us in 1951. Dr. Hickes believes we as students Kshould always better our aca- demic achievements and have increased recog- nition of the righ'ts and prerogatives of others and develop personal qualities which eventually lead to good citizenshipf, Although he is ex- ceptionally busy, he is considered one of our best friends, and this is something that really is a necessity if a school system is to be a success. This very erudite man has introduced many new subjects into the curriculum which have helped raise the standards of Carnegie High School. Many new subjects and teachers have been in- troduced including a librarian, a special home economics teacher who is also a dietitian, a high school art course, and a more complete shop course for boys interested in manual training. In the past few years a drivers, education course 1 14 and a much-needed guidance counselor have been added. Future years will probably see more courses of value added. On the shoulders of Dr. Hickes rests the task of constant advancement. One step forward is our new high school, which has some of the best facilities and equipment available. His job has been a hard oneg he has had to act as admini- strator and to help in orienting school policies and pupils. Dr. Hickes is not only well known as school administrator but is also known to be very much interested in community activities. He is the father of twin daughters, who attend grade school. He has been in Carnegie only five years, and yet it seems we have known him much longer. The class of 1956 would like to thank him for all the time and effort he has put forth to mold our lives into a better and more desirable form. Dr. Robert D F1e1scher Before coming to C. H. S., Dr. Fleischer taught social studies at Edgewood for three years. Prior to that, he at- tended Grove City College. He earned his bacheloris, inasteris and doctoris degrees at the University of Pittsburgh. Dr. Fleischer is looking forward to a long stay in Car- negie High School. We know that our high school has be- come a vital part of his life, just as he has become a part of Carnegie High School. He has guided the sophomores in- to regular routines and has given advice to upper classmen concerning advanced education and future occupations. He has won the admiration and respect of the student body during his first year as principal at Carnegie. VVe hope this is only the beginning of a long career as principal of our school. 15 Miss Barbara VVilliams Miss Barbara VVilliams, a graduate of the class of 1950, has served as secretary to Mr. Lee and Mr. Knarr, and is currently Dr. F leischeris secretary. She is well known by all the students and does many favors for us. Barbara enjoys her work and does a wonderful job heading the office. She takes an interest in all the school activities and can be seen at the school's sport- ing events. She is sponsor of the Colden Rule Tri-Hi-Y, which keeps her very busy. We are all in agreement when we say that Barb, with her splendid personality and high calibre of work, will keep C. H. S. happy for many years to come. Miss Dolores Dombrowski Dolores Dombrowski, Dr. Hickesis new sec- retary, was graduated from Carnegie High School only last year. She took the place of Buth Walton, who is now on a leave of absence. Dee says that, having worked at the high school, she is now able to see both the teachers, and the students, points of view. Dee likes to play the piano and paint in oils, and she tries her hand at bowling with the teachers. l 1 6 Mr. Elmer Match Guidance Counselor, Psychologist Mr. Match is now ending his fifth year at Cal negie High School. During these years he has taken a personal interest in the future of each of the students. He has listened to many problems and has guided many in the choice of college O1 profession. He has informally talked with each senior individually, giving the information and personal advice each needed and appreciated Mr. Match studied at the University of Pitts burgh, where he earned his degrees of Bachelor of Science and Master of Education Board of Education Bottom Row: Edward I. Lesko, Solicitor, James Firth, President, Benjamin Kahn, Vice Presi- dent, Harry Garner, Secretary. Top Row: James R. Jones, Fred Bateman, Ir., Arthur Phillips, Stanley Roth. Through the untiring efforts of the Board of Education the new Carnegie High School on Franklin Avenue is now a reality. These nine men have the responsibility of seeing that all our school functions are car- ried out properly. We are sure the people of Carnegie are extremely proud of this group. They have done their work well and, in doing so, have had the welfare of each student in mind. Any problem brought to their at- tention will receive careful consideration, and an attempt is made to solve it. Years from now, as students walk through the halls of Carnegie,s new high school, we hope they will be as proud of it as we are today. The beautiful gymnasium, the clean and sanitary locker rooms, the elaborate home economics room- all these owe their existence to the men on the school board. Thanks to these men, we now have an auditorium in which we can hold our assemblies and the junior and senior plays, instead of walking to Carnegie Library in the cold weather. Our school rooms are bright and cheerful, with an excellent lighting system. We are proud of these men, and we are sure that each class after us will be just as proud. 17 Dr. Roy Hickes FACULTY Languages MISS JANET L. CURTIS English IV, Latin B.

This picture, taken in 1897, shows the entire first group of Carnegie students, with the com- plete faculty of two, on the steps of the W.C.T.U. building. With it We open' our portraits of the present-day upperclassmen. 23 Molinaro, Aston, llyankoff, Sperring Senior Class Officers That the seniors of l956 are proud of their officers is no Wonder because the officers were Well-chosen, capable people With personalities to match their abilities. Joe Aston-the tall basketball star Who, in the midst of all the practices and the glory, still had time to tackle the biggest job, that of president. He proved to be an efficient, hard-Working president and has had the unusual dis- tinction of being our class president for two years.

Instead of being sev- enth graders, we became part of the new Car- negie junior High School housed at Harding School. Ours was the first class to complete the three years of junior high. Instead of going to the high school for our freshman year, we re- mained at Harding to be junior high seniors? While at Harding, we planned and set in motion its first student council. We also began a junior high club program offering clubs such as the Tri-Hi-Y, Hi-Y, Gym Club, Drama Club, and several others. Ours was the class to have the first Carnegie junior High School basketball team. This team, already showing themselves to be champions, had a wonderful record and trav- eled to the tournaments. In tenth grade we had to take our place as the underclassmen, and our light couldn't shine as brightly as we would have liked. We did, however, institute a practice which has been adopted by every class. VVe elected, as a class officer, a social chairman to be in charge of all social functions of the class and see that all members of the class had an opportunity to par- ticipate in class activities. During the tenth grade Mr. Van Arsdale was our class sponsor. During the eleventh grade, with Mr. Speziale as our sponsor, we began to hit our stride once again. We set several projects as our goal for the year. Among these were filling the library for the Spring Concert- seven hundred tickets were sold, having a superb junior prom, and collecting dues in order to have a class picnic. And now the climax of our efforts, our senior year! This year our sponsor is Miss Cochran. She has been sponsor of senior classes for many years, but we hoped to be co-operative to the point where she would have no worries. We are the first class to be graduated from the new building. As we had wonderful facilities in the new building, we became the first class to have two performances of the senior play and spring concert. WVe had a winning basketball team this year. Carnegie won twenty-three games in a row to become Section XIII champs. Now graduation time has come. We made a wonderful record during our years of junior and senior high school, and weire proud of it. But we know that this record can be surpassed, and we offer it as a challenge to the underclassmen. Above are Miss Gladys Cochran, senior class sponsor, and Pete Vivi- ano, social chairman, thc boss and brains of our once-in-a-lifetime senior ball. At right are the under-chairmen who added ideas, time, and hard work. Decorations Refreshments Tickets ,..,....

The decorations, purple-and-white streamers and a rotating purple-and-silver center-piece, helped to make it a dance we seniors shall never forget. A large sleigh and a silver-trimmed Christmas tree, very royal with its purple lights, formed the setting for pictures. Girls in their beautiful gowns with their hand- some escorts danced to the strains of Bob Kingis orchestra. Dainty, petite hors d'oeuvres were served, and at twelve olclock the memorable evening came to an end. Although the purpose was not to raise money, the ball brought an add- ed sixty-seven dollars to our class treasury. 4, Dolores Soho, Betty jean Soho, Maxine Kanoza, Frances Young, Arlcen Boyda. Queen of May On the night of May 4, Eve lovely girls, chosen by popular vote of the students of Carnegie High School, marched down the aisle to the strains of a beautiful melody. Arleen Boyda, fourth attendant, was radiant and glowing in her blue gown, Dolores Soho, third attendant, looked gorgeous in her yellow gown, Frances Young, attractive second attendant, entered in a smart aqua gown, Betty Jean Soho, Hrst attendant, breathtaking in a pink gown, looked beautiful and doll-like on the court. As Maxine Kanoza, the Queen of May, entered, her subjects rose. Stately and regal in a white gown with a long flowing train, she was crowned, a lovely and fitting queen. Everyone will remember that night as being one of the most beautiful events of the year. First Row: Young, Gendt, Chccco. Second Row: Reynolds, Petrie, Markosky, Hersko, Duff, Caruso, Hladik.

Senior Play Seventeenth Summer The senior play, aSeventeenth Summer, was pre- sented in the auditorium of the new high school on April 5 and 6, but the activity before this date pre- paring for the big nights would fill a book. Practice was held every night for six Weeks, but in spite of all the hard Work, the cast had a lot of fun. The romantic comedy Was under the supervision of Mrs. Mary Kay Vorko, director, and Ruth Ludwig and Geraldine Boscia, her assistants. Everyone was worried that he might forget his lines, but when the curtain Went up, the play met with the approval of everyone. The success of the play Was due to the hard work and cooperation of the cast, director, prompters, and committees. 44 Director: Mrs. Mary Vorko Above: Student directors and prornpters.

Everyone worked hard and tried to sell as many magazines as possible. The record of previous classes was surpassed, and we went far over our 353000 goal. Many an evening was spent after school count- ing the dayis receipts and straightening the rec- ords. Each room had two captains and two inan- agers to make the work a little easier for Arleen Boyda, general manager, and Ronald Mach, treasurer. Nellie llyankoil was high salesman with 35167, and Ruth Duff was second with 814950. They each received well-deserved priz- es. Those pictured above each sold over forty dollars, worth of magazines.

It was at first used as a watering trough for horses before horseless carriages came into existence, but for many years afterwards it was used as a place of sport and fun, at least for the senior boys of Carnegie High. Here the freshmen had to go through the ordeal of being formally initiated into C. H. S. by ducking. The ducking was done in fun, how- ever, and is still remembered by the older alumni. Even though it has not been in existence for many years, the fountain holds clear memories for many, and for us who have never seen it, the ducking stooll' can be as vivid, by means of pictures and of tales, as it was to students of a few years ago. 49 First Row: Cable, Ferro, Iacobs, Colicchie, Hastings, Gallucci, Bishop, Duval, Godfrey, Dean, Jaap, Bercini. sec ond Row: Armani, Charitan, Kastovich, Houy, English, Garber, Demain, Arnold, Carlson, Jordan, Conley, Her- bert, Bernaciak, Foster.

The story is about a mock trial put on by a group of high school students which turns out to be a serious episode involving the entire com- munity. The janitor is blamed for the killing of a young boy who might have accidentally fallen through the railing on the steps of the school. The action of the play reveals that responsi- bility for the accident is shared by the entire community. CAST Mr. Kovalesky .....

Giannaugelo 64 In Memoriam Mr. G.,,' as he was better known to us all, was born in Monongahela, Pennsylvania, and educated in the schools of that community. He was graduated from Kansas University, and then went on to complete his masteris degree in education at Duquesne University. At the time of his death he was working toward his doctorate at that school. Mr. Giannangelois coaching career began at his alma mater, Kansas University, where he coached freshman football. He continued in the same capacity at Kansas State Teachers, College in Emporia, Kansas. During World War II he was trainer with the Second Air Force football team. In moving to this area, Mr. Giannangelo coached all sports at the Pennsylvania Training School at Morganza. Prior to coming to Carnegie eight years ago, he coached at Snowden Township. In addition to his duties as football coach in Carnegie he became basketball mentor in 1951. Known as a willing, indefatigable worker, Mr. Giannangelo gave nothing less than his best. He imparted to his players the ideals of fair play, good sportsmanship, and gentlemanly qualities. Try to win, but if you have to lose, lose like gentlemenf' was his philosophy. A successful coach, he hit his pinnacles during the year 1952, when his football team won all games, and the present year, 1956, when his basketball team won twenty-three consecutive victories and its sectional championship. Students, teachers, townspeople V- all have lost a devoted friend. We who have been so closely allied with him know that we have lost a re- spected coach, a wise counselor, and a trusted leader. May we, in the years to come, never lose sight of the good he inspired in us. 65 K. fr, 013. Q! x I' 1 4' ,f P ' X ' X . ACTIVITIES Many things can change in sixty years. Buildings can crumble, great men can live and die, generations can pass. But one thing remains the same. Today, as sixty years ago, high school days still hold mo- ments of relaxation, fun, romance, and hard play. G7 Voyager Staff Eugene Pysh De Ann Checco Co-editors Here, in the thirty-third issue of the VOYAGER, are the time, effort, and ability of twenty-eight hard-Working members of C. H. S. When this book will be just a re- minder, a diary, to some, it will be more to us on the staff, who gave a little of ourselves to it. How can we forget the last-minute Work on the alumni directory, the confusion of taking pictures, the excitement of examining proofs? Of course, there will also be memories of losing sleep for Betty Jean Soho Ronald Mach Business Manager Picture Editor good copy, the tremendous amount of research for such a historical issue, the often tedious job of copy-reading, and the unending mountain of typing. With a good crew the VOYACER completes another bon voyage. We were happy to add an additional two pages to the junior high section and add a member of its student council, Shirley Black, as representative, although somewhat late in the year.

Anytime you hear a buzzing in the office practice room, you can also find Spike and Daeg knee-deep in papers. The SEE tells of scholastic events and the antics of the entire student body. The ink-spat- tered mechanical operator torments the poor innocent artists, typists, and journalists, but amid all of this confusion the SEE is ready to be distributed to the appreciative student body. There is never rest for the busy members of the SEE staff. Without the sponsorship of Miss Mason and the expecta- tions of its editors, Daeg Brenner and Robert Reynolds, the SEE would not be the fine paper that it is. Behind them the staff of 1955-56 has left a year of hard Work, and to future Workers of the SEE they bequeath the best of memories, the highest of ambitions, and hopes for success in the future.

A planning committee was therefore elected last fall to lay the foundation for a new Student Council. As time passed, this planning committee itself became known as the Student Council. It con- sists of homeroom representatives, plus the class presidents, the seniors having the majority of membership. The Student Council has spent the past year wholly upon the process of organization and preparation. A com- mittee was chosen to draft a constitution. The framework for this law was developed in as democratic a way as possible under the constant supervis- ion and aid of its sponsor, Miss Janet Curtis. Its major aim is for the im- provement of the student and the school, and it will constantly strive 'to serve the student community in a democratic manner. The purpose of the Student Council is very accurately put forth in the preamble of its constitution. It states: c'We, the students and faculty of the Carnegie Senior High School, in order to create and foster a spirit of understanding and cooperation with each other, to develop character, initiative, and leadership, to afford training in citizenship, to foster advance- ment in scholarship, in school spirit, and in ideals of friendliness, fair play, and loyalty, to provide for pupil expression, and to promote active coopera- tion in all school activities do ordain and establish this Constitution for the Carnegie Senior High Schoolf, 72 National Honor Society President Michael Morelli Vice-president Arleen Boydfl Secret try Jacqueline Nadolny Sponsor Miss Gladys Nordslek Although having but one activity, the National Honor Society is the most honored and respected group at Carnegie. Election of new members usually takes place at the end of the first semester, however, due to getting settled in the new school, they were not chosen until March. It is the goal of every student to be in this organization. Members, chosen by the faculty, are selected for their high standards of leadership, scholarship, service, and honor. Its one activity is an impressive induction service held the week of graduation. The seniors wear caps and gowns and after the ceremony, the members serve their parents and friends refreshments. The Honor Society pin is made up of a keystone and a Haming torch. The motto of the society is Noblesse obligef meaning superiority has obli- gations. As Miss Nesbitt, the former sponsor, retired last year, Miss Nord- seik was selected as the new sponsor. Under her careful guidance the Hon- or Society continues to broaden the fine reputation it has maintained throughout the years of its existence. First Row: Boyda, Morelli, Miss Nordsiek, Nadolny.

In recent years, the Hi-Y clubs have become more social, but they still perform a few services to the school.

Cameron, the sixty- piece band has completed another year of practicing and per- forming. It was heard and seen at football games, at pep rallies, in the Halloween parade, and Christmas caroling. The most important event, of course, was the animal concert, featuring the much-practiced marches and light classics. The Swing Band took over in the second half of this concert, along with our tal- ented student acts. Finally, after the Memorial Day parade, the seniors, after waiting four years, enjoyed a delicious spaghetti dinner, putting a close to years of practice, bus rides, and performing. With practically the entire Swing Band being graduated, we wish the band luck in its concert next year, with these words, taken from a senior band memberis essay on music: . . . Music is what you think music is. From the tom-tom-beaters in Africa and from the string section of the New York Philharmonic, music flows. So remember, the next time you hear the Carnegie High School Band playing- music can be anythingf, 87 Mr. VValter H.

The VOYAGER pays tribute to a great man, Mr. Adams. 92 After earning a letter in a sport at Carnegie, membership in the Varsity comes automat- ically. The major purpose of the group is to raise money for the injury fund. This year the club held its second annual masquerade dance with a floor show directed by its sponsor, Mr. R. Zaney. It was quite a sight to see Romano pan- tomiming in shorts and Mitry leading a chorus line. The Varsity MCU also played the faculty in a basketball game, and after a hilarious free-for- all the teachers emerged victors. 34-22.

When Carnegie clashed for their second game of the season, they were de- fcatcd by McKees Rocks. It Was a uip-and-tuck game all thc Way until the Rocks broke things up with a pass from Kourachi, the Rockis quar- terback, to Schneider, the halfback, that was good for 65 yards and a touchdown. At the end of the first half, the downhearted Tartans Were behind 7-O. In the third quarter, Kourachi, after leading his team for a 60-yard march, scored from the two-yard line to double the Rocks, score. Carnegie, still playing hard, scored once in the final quarter, with VVrobleski going over from the two-yard line.

The basketball records of Carnegie were completely smashed the day the terrific 1956 team went on the floor. The Little Tartans won twenty-three games in a row before losing to Far- rell in the semi-finals of WPIAL tournament. During that twenty- three winning streak the Tartans set five new records: The most points scored in one season .................,.. 1,545 The most points scored in one game , ..,......,.,...,.. 102 Individual high by Joseph Aston ....,,.,..,,,.............,. 545 Individual high in one game by Joseph Aston ..,..... 42 The only team to play a full schedule undefeated. Joe Aston, a 6' 4 senior, is a three-year letterman and has a total of 1,261 points for his three years. This lad was a sen- sational standout throughout the year, and at the tournament he was said to be one of the finest ball players since 1954. Don Steinhart, a 6' 5' ' Senior, scored 350 points during the year and did a good job helping Joe under the basket in bringing down rebounds. Don averaged 14.6 points per game. Handy,' Andy Cubic, a 6' 2 senior, scored 334 points dur- ing the season and played defense with ease and coolness. Andy Eoultl jump high for his height and gave a lot of help under the oart s. Nick Nicoletta, a six-foot senior, scored 191 points for the year. Nick was the smallest man on the squad and the play- maker. With his constant harassing he managed to steal the ball many times on defense. Merv Bailey, 6' 3 and the only junior on the team, scored 307 points during the season. He was anothcr outside man with Nick. Merv played defense like a hawk, and his shrewd defensive work led him to steal the ball many times. Other ball players on the club were John Stack, 5' 11 sen- ior, Mike Morelli, 5-' 10 senior, Bruce Mach, 6' 3 junior, and Iohn Sawhill, 6' 2 junior. These boys were always ready to help the first string, and their moral support played an important part in the winning of the games. We congratulate the 1956 Section X111 champs on a fine season. 98 Varsity Basketball Mr. joseph P. Giannangelo, coach of the Little Tartan champs ,,Au......,.....,..,,,,.

Wrestling Coach of the Tartan matmen, Robert R. Savvhill, Fred Sentner. The 1956 Wrestling team ended their season with a meager record of one win to eight losses. Coached by Mr. Robert R. Sawhill, the team seemed to lack spark and initiative. Also against them Was the fact that they had only three veterans returning from last year. Fred Sentner, a four-year letterman, ended his last season in the final round of section competition. James Shearer, three-year letterman, ended the year in the semi-Hnals of regional competition. VVith only one member graduating, We can look forward to an experienced squad next year. and Fred Sentner, only senior on the squad, is the last of a long line of Wrestling Sent- ners.

Coach Chuck Stockum Baseball The 1956 baseball team, with a few veterans plus a few rookies with a lot of playing ability, should have a prosperous season. The center attractions will probably be Andy Cubic, jim Torchia, Mike Niorelli, John Walasik, and Bon Hatcher. The early practices showed a lot of desire, ambition, and ability. In 1954 Mr. Stockum brought a section title to Carnegie, and last yearis team ended with a record of four wins to four losses. Left to right: Torchia, Cubic, Hatcher. Coach John I.. Bandyk Golf Last year the team ended with a 5-5 record, winning over Robinson and North Allegheny twice, splitting two games with Avonworth, and losing to West View and Bridgeville. This year only one starter, Nicoletta, a three-year letterman, is backg but there are great prospects in John Sawhill and Ronald Geisler. With the fine coaching of Iohn Bandyk the team should do fairly well. Other possibilities for the team are Don Steinhart, Anthony Ragazzo, John Stack, and Lee Bradley.

During the football season the girls sell refreshments at the home games. They also have basketball and volley- ball teams, which are selected by Miss Creschner. These teams set an example of ability and health. In the spring the C.A.A. has its annual mother-and- daughter banquet, which is a gala affair Where the mothers are honored by the girls. Membership is open to girls interested in sports and, if they prove them- selves, they may receive a letter an as award. 104 All- Stars Home- room Champs 105 Girls' Volleyball Early in October, the girls in Miss Greshnerps gym classes brushed up on their volleyball utacticsf' Among other points, they were taught to 'iset-em-upn and to rotate their line. After they had mastered the technique, each gym class was divided into three or four teams. During class, they competed with each other. A short time later, each homeroom met and picked a cap- tain for their respective teams. These teams were scheduled for play each night after school. By the process of elimination, Room 204 emerged victorious. Room 210 put up a gallant effort to stop them, but the champs were not to be denied. They re- received a golden trophy to place in their room in recognition of their standing.

A tremendous amount of work was done in compiling this directory. The alumni representatives devoted their entire summer to the job of locating the missing 3,600 Carnegie alumni. Later the entire staff joined in the job. However, as the deadline for the yearbook approached, the directory was still not complete. We tried to the last minute to include a directory in this VOYAGER but, rather than include here a faulty, incomplete directory, We finally had to abandon that hope. As the next best thing, we have continued working on this directory and will publish a complete and accurate alum- ni directory during the summer, probably during the month of Iuly. This supplement will be immediately sent to each sub- scriber of the 1956 VOYAGER.
