Possibly no other person in the short history of our school has had more influence for good among both students and fac- ulty members than did Miss Mumper. A teacher who had that in- tangible quality of being able to bring out the best in her stu- dents, Miss Mumper worked without thought of self both in her classes and in other school activities. The success of her efforts attests to her skill and courage as a teacher of high school youth. Because mere words can not do iustice to such a dedicated life we content ourselves with the thought that Miss Mumper's influence is not gone from our high school but will go on and on through the years to come. 2 contents uculfq Foreword We, the staff members of the Senior Class, publish the 'l957 Charconge as a pictorial review of our Sen- ior year at Chartiers-Houston Joint High School. We hope that in the future it will bring back pleasant and happy memories of events you attended and friends you made. Y . 7 'K 'fr 4 g r in ?

EDUCATION lt has been said that an educated person is one who has a well- rounded knowledge of things as they are, some understanding of things as they were, and a vision of things as they might be. He should be able to derive honest enioyment out of some few things of the intellect. He should be equipped to earn enough of a living to iustify his existence. If we should pause to analyze the meaning of the above sentences what shall be our interpretations? No doubt we shall not word our in- terpretations in the same way but I should imagine that we shall prob- ably get pretty much the same meaning. Would not 'a knowledge of things as they are' and 'some understanding of things as they were' make for better citizenship? 'A vision of things ast they might be' should certainly develop a better sense of responsibility in order that we may better serve the society in which we live. To 'be able to derive honest enjoyment out of some few things of the intellect' would of course make for a better life. And to 'be equipped to earn enough of a living to justify his existence' should be an influencing factor in developing each of the obiectives of education-good citizenship, service to society, a better life. Nothing has been said about freedom. How does our definition of an educated person indicate that such an obiective can be attained? First, would you agree that each generation must win democracy for itself? If so, then one must have 'a knowledge of things as they are, some understanding of things as they were, and a vision of things as they might be.' ln the above l have made an attempt to point out to you, the class of 1957, some concepts of what an educated person is. Do these con- cepts apply to you? Of course when we realize that education is never complete but is a continuous process, we have made a step in the right direction towards becoming an educated person and achieving the obiec- tives of education. THE FUTURE BELCNGS TO THE FREE We people of the United States are a part of this world and not apart from it. God has put us in a top position of leadership. lt is our responsibility to live up to the obligation of this responsibility. We dare not allow our desire for ease, comfort, wealth, and leisure to dull our sense of duty or to block the keeness of our vision. Our greatest strength lies in our people and their participation in spiritual, educational, scientific, and industrial progress. The men and women and the boys and girls who make up our country are, as indi- viduals, endowed with a great capacity of potential power. The extent to which we increase our knowledge and strengthen our character will determine our power in the future. Our iob in the world is not one that politicians, generals, and dip- lomats alone can do. The leadership of theologians, educators, business, labor and management. and social workers is even more important. The combined efforts ot all these help to advance and to establish opportunities for the freedom of all people, To this end we should pledge our strength.

Those boys were Bill Jones, Tom Park, Mike Cho- lak, and Benny Macioszek. As a club project the boys supplied and decorated the large Christmas tree in the gym. Activities sponsored by the club this year were: dances after basketball games and wrestling matches, and the concession stand at a football game. Two social events were held for the mem- bers, a weiner roast and a banquet at the Man- sion House.

The color and enthusiasm of the maior- ette corps played an important part in the popularity of the marching band. This year there were tive moiorettes, four flag twirlers, a head maiorette, and a Junior head maiorette. Constant practice and drilling enabled this outstanding unit to perform well during half-time shows, in parades, and for pep meetings. Lois Bissell, head maiorette, wore a leopard white wool uniform, with gold splash, trimmed in gold fringe. Her hat was made of gold lame, with a white ostrich feather on the top. As a past cus- tom, Lois was chosen to serve as Junior head majorette last year to learn the duties and responsibilities of her position this year. The Junior head maiorette, Sylvia Far- tro, wore a gold velvet uniform trimmed with white bunny fur. Her boots were also trimmed with bunny fur balls and match- ing velvet. A large white plume ascended from her white fur hat. The other maiorettes of the corps, and the flagtwirlers wore one-piece white cor- duroy uniforms trimmed in bunny fur and white fur cadet hats with tall gold plumes. These uniforms were furnished by the Band Parents organization.

BAND MEMBERS PROVIDE MUSICAL ENTERTAINMENT The Chartiers-Houston High School Band is an organization of hard working, enthusiastic musicians. This year there were 67 members, under the direction of Mr. Chimento. School practices were reduced this year because ot the half-day sessions, making evening rehearsals necessary. However many excellent shows were organized and performed during half-time at the football games. The band also played for assemblies and pep meetings. A new activity of the band was the issu- ance of stripes to the members in accordance with the number of years they belonged in the band. A new social activity sponsored by the . i Q , 1 band this year was the Jazz Bow Jump, which replaced the square dance. Backing the musicians is a Hne group, the Band Parents. Each year they give recognition to the Juniors in the band by presenting them with sweaters. They also prepare and serve a banquet for all the band members. This year, after a delicious ham dinner, Johnny Cimino's orchestra furnished the music For an open dance. In April the concert band gave its annual spring concert. The theme this year was Spring Time Festival. Representing Chartiers-Houston at District Band were Betty Garrett and Anna Mae Antonietta.

The play took place in the classroom of Miss Brooks at Madison High School. Action revolved around the hilarious antics of the one-and-only teacher, Miss Brooks. The plot related the many problems, large and small, encountered by Miss Brooks as director of the high school play. She was constantly in trouble with the principal, basketball coach, and the school board in her almost futile efforts to put on the school play.

Laurie, a college Sophomore majoring in psychology, returned home in June for summer vacation. She ex- pected to find a normal, well adjusted family. However, she found what she called a bunch of psychological knots . As the plot unfolded, Laurie came to realize they weren't actually that bad. The play was directed by Mrs. McDonnell.

WERE GGNNA CHEER Leading the cheers at sports events and pep meetings this year were six attractively dressed, enthusiastic girls. These cheerlead- ers, coached by Miss Peacock, followed the teams, whether near or far and cheered our boys, winning and losing. The cheerleaders' attire for football sea- son was gold V-neck sweaters, white flared skirts and collars, and white bucks. For wrestling matches and basketball games, the girls wore white V-neck sweaters, maroon and black corduroy skirts and white bucks. Patty Congie, the only Senior on the cheerleading squad, has led her last cheer for Chartiers-Houston High School. Next year the two new cheerleaders from Junior High School will join the squad. Our cheerleaders meet those from other schools during games. Pictured at right they are with the Canonsburg cheer- leaders. KS?

Mr. Mullins' 1956 Bucco baseball squad was made up of ten veterans and five first-year men. ln the infield were two new faces-Bill Jones at third base and Wayne Urbanic at the initial sack. Holding the infield together with some great plays were Ronnie McCabe, playing at second base and Norwood Young at short stop. The im- portant spot in the infield is behind the plate, this position was held down by Bob Burgess. On the pitching staff was Gary McCullough, the ace pitching star in the past years, with veterans Gary Young and Bill Miller backing him. To strengthen the infield was a competent cutfield. There were three in the top lineup- Bill Plunkett, in left, Chas Smith, in center, and Frank Hess, in right field. Regardless of the 1 win-4 loss record, most of the games were highlighted by some out- standing plays, both defensively and offensively. Because of the extremely rainy weather, the team was only able to play 5 of the scheduled 9 games. Mr. Berry, the faculty athletic manager for all sports.

This year the Chartiers-Houston football team completed its most successful season since T947. The season ended with 6 wins and 3 losses. Chartiers-Houston Buccaneers remained in the running for class B championship till the final game when Centerville eliminated them before a crowd of 4500, the largest of the sea- son. The Bucs were small in size, but big in heart and determination. The squad was fast and showed one of the best scoring offenses in the WPIAL. Against 9 opponents, the boys scored 38 touchdowns and a total of 245 points. First game on the schedule, Trinity, gave the school a preview of future action. The Buc- caneers completely out-played their AA oppo- nents throughout the game, only to get beat in the last T4 seconds by a score of 25-20. All-in-all the season was a big success. The band, with their enthusiastic music, and the stu- dent body, with much spirit, followed the team loyally throughout the season. Coach Scarton has called his T956 squad, the nices and most respectful group of boys I have ever coached. Cecil back to short gain Graduation will certainly take its toll this year. There will be 9 seniors who have ended their high school football careers on a sweet note.

The school year T956-57 found the Char- tiers-Houston basketball team, coached by T. A. Smith, facing a very difficult schedule. This, to- gether with lack of experience, accounted for the five victories and seventeen defeats for the season. In W.P.l.A.L., section T4 competition, four victories and six defeats placed the team in a two-way tie for third place. Only six men earned letters this year: two seniors, Bill Jones and Lovelle Patterson, two juniors, Robert Grassi and Norwood Young, and two freshmen, Dennis McCullough and Richard Sherrow.

The team practiced every evening learning new holds and getting into top notch physical condition. Throughout the season the boys displayed excel- lent sportsmanship. Many iniuries hampered the team and it seemed as if hard luck was constantly in the wrestlers' path. A bright spot in the season was the excellent performances displayed by the new boys on the team, such as Truman Burgess, Lee Chew, Neil Dorchak, Bill Mele, James Anto- nietto, John Englert, Phil Camden and Ed Ma- canga. Senior boys with no previous experience, Louis Kobuchi-Charleroi Match John Englert-Burgettstown Match such as Dave Smith fNovice Championj, Bob Roupe, and Bernard Bogush substituted very capably at various times. Veteran Seniors on the squad were Bob Stinespring, Joe Piasente, Louis Kobuchi, Tom Park, Larry Baker, and Benny Macioszek. Outstanding performers in their weight class were veteran underclassmen Larry Burgess and Ray Bazzoli. The Chartiers-Houston wrestling squad won the Section 3 Wrestling Tournament of Western Pennsylvania interscholastic Athletic League. They won over teams from Canonsburg, Trinity, Burgettstown, and Washington. The individual champions were: Truman Burgess, 88lb. class, Larry Burgess, lT2lb. class, Benny Macioszek, T54 lb. class, and Ray Bazzoli, T85 lb. class.

Success means doing, day by day, The very best you can, lt's going on, yet taking time To help your fellow man g.. To make your mark, to reach your goal, To take your rightful place, To strive and strive and strive again, Yet wear a smiling face . .. To make the most of what you have, To build and not to lean, To take what happens with a heart That's steadfast and serene . . . lt's knowing how to meet success, To handle joy and sorrow, Believing in your inmost heart There's always a tomorrow! lt's keeping on when heart and soul And courage seem to fail, Convinced that faith and hope ancl WORK Are certain to prevail! -Grace M.
