Under his guiding hand all difficult problems are solved, and always for the beneit of the students. Dr. Bohrenis first introduction gave everyone a good im- pression and all knew from the first meeting that the school aHairs had been placed in capable hands. Concentrating on improving the school, he has kept all departments busy and our values have increased rapidly. He has developed a new curriculum throughout the school. The time and work which he so unselfishly devotes to improvements of the school deserves our deepest appreciation and the fullest co-opera- tion from the student body. Besides having an interest in the studies of the school, Dr. Bohren is also sports-minded. Being once both football coach and game official, he shows an interest in the athletic department which is keen and sincere. His promotion of sports in the school has certainly given the athletes more confidence in them- selves. In the few years spent at Clairton, he has proven himself to be a personal friend to each student. No problem is too big or too small to be brought to the attention of Dr. Bohren. In view of all the good sound advice that he has given, no one was surprised when the Senior class voted unanimously that Dr. and Mrs. Bohren be the class parents of 1953. Dr. Evert F. Stabler Senior High Principal l'h.D., Ed,M., University of Pittshurgh Litt. B., Grove City College In 1938, Dr. Evert F. Stahler filled the office of principal of Clairton Senior High School. He has eapahly adminis- tered his duties for the past fifteen years and has built for the school a reputation of which we are proud. He had been a teacher in Clairton for four years when he was elected to the office of principal of Fifth Street Iunior High School which he filled for nine years. From his experience Dr. Stabler knows Well the school, the students, and the parents. His untiriug efforts on hehalf of stu- dents and teachers have put Clairton High School among the first in rank. Wilbilr K. Monks Vocational Department Director BS., Carnegie Institute of Technology MA., University of Pittshurgh Mr. Wfilhur K. Monks, who has been teaching for over thirty years, is the di- rector of the Boys, Vocational Depart- ment and Clairton Night School. Each year more hoys than the depart- mentis three shops can take Care of, ap- ply for admission and anxiously await the results of the tests which Mr. Nlonks gives the boys to see if they meet the scholastic standards upon which Mr. Monks insists for shop boys. Mr. Monks makes an effort to know each one of his hoys personally and to give them up-to-date information about various johs which they have chosen for their future. fam 0,4 scam m' Top Row: Mr. George -I.

Wrobleski, Mr. Albert Billy. The Pulse of Uur Schools Regulating and financing the affairs of a school system is a difficult and complicated task, especially when the city is as large as Clairton. Therefore, the members of the Clairton School Board must work diligently to provide Clairton students with the best of educational facilities. A person must be genuinely interested in his city and its public schools 'to volunteer giving generously of his time and efforts in order that the students, teachers, and the city as a Whole may benefit. Any problem that may arise before the teachers, pupils, or em- ployees immediately becomes a problem con- fronting the directors. The members of the Board are elected by the people of Clairton and they represent the businesses, industries, and professions of the city. Mr. Leonard C. Lehman, president, is a chemist at Clairton Works, U. S. Steel Corporation. Mr. Charles R. Cunningham, the vice-president, and Michael P. Vickers, one W -,M . of the members, Work at the Irvin Works. The efficient secretary, Mrs. Sadie Keffer, is a business woman. Mr. George Zdrale, trea- surer, is the City Health Officer. The other two members are Mr. Albert Billy, a repre- sentative from the local transportation con- cern, and Doctor Joseph W. Wrobleski, a dentist. The election of representatives with such varied interests indicates two good things about Clairton and its schools: first, that a broad range of citizens must be interested, and second, that the same broad range of citizens Will have spokesmen toivoice their varied opinions. We must give credit to the conscientious Work of the School Board Whose results are made evident in comparisons made of the Clairton Schools with others in the State. Clairton certainlv measures up to other schools and with the help of these efficient directors steadily marches ahead. 111612 DK U I SCHOOL .

The thought of C.H.S. brings back fond memo- ries of classmates, activities, and enjoyable classes. It brings back, also, the memory of the people who have made those very classes enjoyable . . . the faculty. You will never forget the kindness, patience, and .mderstanding with which they presented their subject. They smiled, laughed and became irritated like everyone else, but you still can't understand how they put up with the antics of some of the students. Youill always remember the splendid co- operation they gave you on all your pro- jects . . . how they helped the Class Play become a success . . . how they freely gave their spare time to sponsor your clubs and activities . . . how they gladly met your parents and discussed your problems with them. They were always there when you needed them, and you,ll never be able to thank them enough. No, you will never forget them or your classmates, and youill never forget your classes and the many happy hours you spent there, Whether it was learning how to Work an algebra prob- lem or baking cookies for the open house. As you leave Clairton High School, you'll tip your hat to the fine faculty who has done such a remarkable job. C ffl!!!

Clairton High School offers a Well-round- ed education in bookkeeping, shorthand, typing, and otlfice equipment operation to its students. Many commercial students Work in the otlice and in other departments, thus helping the school and at the same time gaining experience. An understanding of the life and customs of our neighbors and business associates in foreign lands is today more important than ever. This fact becomes more evident as the means of communication and trans- portation constantly improve. One of the best means of advancing this program is the study of languages in our high schools. Latin, especially, helps us to a better understanding of English. Our apprecia- tion of Latin is more fully developed as We seek to increase our English vocabulary. Again this year We had the privilege of entertaining a young lady from France at the annual French Breakfast. Of course, the menu included French pastry. In our Spanish classes We learn of our neighbors to the south by reading of their life and customs in their own language. This makes class very interesting.

Jack Matz is in a typing paradise surrounded bv Evelyn Dolti, Norma Mressner, Aurora Muto, and Marian Yarlctts. V eff? Sophomore historians jim Deiley, Elsie Shus- ter, and Donald Conner learn from Louise Let- tiero ahout the conditions in Africa. Our ya-ry existence depends upon a well- devcloped knowledge ot English and the social studiesg therefore the above topics are Very important in our curricuhun. In our junior and senior years We study English and American History and the works of the masters of literature in hoth countries. A good understanding of Shake- speare is developed through years of study- ing his life and Works. For instance, MTO be or not to hen has taken on an entirely new meaning after the detailed study ot l'Iamlet.'l YVe develop facility in the use of English hy Writing numerous themes, essays. and poems. The writing of hook reports prompts us to read the finest au- thors. The study of the Problems of Democracy gives us a keen appreciation of the advan- tages of our form of government. YVe, the citizens of tomorrow, are better equipped to face its problems. Although it is not Within our province to reach decisions, it is still lots of fun to participate in the debates held Weekly in our history classes. Memo- ries of the hours will always remain with us. Top to bottom: The critics, lialph Matz, Ber- niee Bekaxac. Connie llouston. and George Mon- roe, give their x im-ws on the latest hooks.

The juniors and seniors that have taken the homemaking course realize what a beneficial program it is, no matter what your plans for the future may be. Here the girls spend six periods a week learn- ing by doing the techniques of modern housekeeping. During the semester in which they sew, Sunday-best and sport clothes alike are fashioned. We learn how much fun and how practical it is for us to design our own clothes. One can smell all kinds of tasty delica- cies in the making in our modern cooking rooms. At our social gatherings, where our parents are often invited, the food is made and served by the homemaking students of CHS. The living room, in which are found the big, comfortable easy chairs, is ideal for classroom work, which includes those extras, such as proper diets, family health, child care, consumer buying, and interior decorating. It is also a conveni- ent meeting place for our clubs. Top to bottom: Mildred Bricker tidies up thc desk as ,Ioan Cash and Pat Parnham kccp thc floors shining.

Boys who are more interested in ma- chinery than in the classes can have their desires fulfilled by working in our shops. Here they learn to operate the tools and machinery actually used in todayis indus- try. There are three shops: auto, electric, and machine. The boys who are in the vocational department alternately spend one week in shop and one week in class- rooms. All of the classroom subjects are related to their shop work. In the auto shop we will find several different makes of automobile engines. The boys dismantle and then reassemble them, thus learning the functions of the various parts. All kinds of motors and generators are found in the electric shop. Correct wir- ing procedure is learned by using the diagrams on file. A rude awakening often follows 1nisinterp1'e'tation. VVhat can be compared with the thrill of accomplishment experienced when fa- shioning a tool or machine part on the lathe, shaper, or milling machine? Try it sometimesl Top to bottom: jerry Martini, Jim Burke, Iohn llarper, and Bob Morris will have this car off the assembly line soon. The Machine Shop is in tip-top shape with the help ol' Phil Clifford, Steve Buzalka, and Dan Henderson. Edison had nothing on these fellows, as Vic- tor Cappocciama, William Lucas, Milan Dro- bac and XVilbert llill study electricity.

We, the students of Clairton High School, are fortunate to have such an exceptional program in mathematics and science. Many pleasant hours have been spent in the labs and rooms 4 and 201 working towards a brilliant and successful career. Our physics students will long remember those discussions with Mr. Martell con- cerning various problems that were difficult to understand. Many happy hours, soon only pleasant memories, were spent in working our chemical and algebraic equa- tions. The experiments in chemistry and physics proved to be quite successful and we profited immensely by them. A feeling of extreme satisfaction is developed when a particularly challenging problem in math is successfully solved. Geometric theorems proved to be very interesting and also help- ful when it came to working aCroup BD physics problems. These courses are planned to help us in furthering our education. ln these subjects the student receives a knowledge that will be of great use in our modern world. Our graduates, trained as engineers, physicists. and chemists, have been able to find good positions in Clairton itself. Matthew Haramia, LeRoy Grant, and Mary VVinand show that general math prob- lems arcn't really so tough after all. Top to bottom: Dave Llewclyn, Scott Kennedy, and Charles Guy look with interest as Edmund Coury points to that weird creature. Volleyball is but one of sexi-ral kinds of sports which make gym a very pleasant and exciting period. Dolores Raniich shows Saundra Edwards, Mary Ann llabickow, Donna XVebster, Ruth Taclioir, and Betty Law-rick a balanced meal. Each student is required to spend three periods a week in physical education unless excused by the school physician. Many students look forward to the fun-packed periods spent in gym where all of the wor- ries of the major courses are forgotten. A keen rivalry develops in our volleyball and basketball games. Calisthenics and the study of the human body go hand in hand. How easy it is to Count our muscles after a good workout. Aquatic sports are popular in Clairton. Note the activities of our championship swimming team. YVhat could be more re- laxing than a swim in our cool, clear pool? Most of us would like to see more time allotted to this activity. ln our health classes We study how the human body operates and We learn how to keep it functioning properly. Co-operation and sportsmanship, for which Clairton is noted, are developed in our physical education department. XVin, lose, or draw, a fine, clean competitive spirit is always displayed by Clairton teams. This fact has been commented upon by our op- ponents. Gym is always fun as may he seen in the expcetant faces as the girls await Merrie Hud- son s volley. 93 'N Top to bottom: jim Bonner selects a book, as Phil X'Vard checks out Susan Crirnshaw, Iohn Maksin, and Angie Porrcttais book.

During these peri- ods they prepare the shelves and mark books. For his service each librarian re- ceives a reward in form of a pin. Manv interesting parties are scheduled annual- ly for them. Be it fiction, biology, Zoology, science, history, romance, biography, or any other type of book, the efficient library staff will satisfy your desires. Our library is open all day, every day.

In this department you will find the office staff, the health department, the janitors, and the cooks. lt is their func- tion to keep the ball rolling in all depart- ments of CHS. The preparation of report cards, the maintenance of adequate supplies, post- ing of announcements, and the disposal of everyday problems are just a few ol' the duties of the general oflice staff. You can be sure the health department will have just the thing to ease that ache or pain. They are also responsible for the annual physical examinations. Our students should all appreciate the Work which our janitors do to keep us comfortable during school hours. They fire the furnaces, keep our equipment in shape, shovel the Walks, keep the school clean, and do a host of other things. Hungry? Enjoy a delicious tasty meal served in our cafeteria. The facilities found here are also offered to those who luring their lunch. Sandwiches, dinners, almost anything you mav Want is served.

DEMOCRATIC STANDARDS GOVERN CGUNCILS Students of Clairton High School have an opportunity to put democracy to work through three main governing hodies: Student Coun- cil, Senior Council, and Iunior Council.

Two representatives from each Senior home room comprise Senior Council. This group, cooperating with the faculty. guides the Senior Class smoothly and efficiently. A major share of the schoolis social activi- ties can he attributed to Iunior Council. Which represents the Iunior Class. SENIOR COUNCIL First Row: D. Rahuxzi, C. Krueger, D. Ncsti, N. Amatangelo.

Our high school band is under the able direc- tion of Professor Rutilio Rotili and Mr. Robert Testa. Rehearsals are conducted Zealously not only during the school year but also during the summer Vacations. Orange and black are not the official colors of am- bassadors, but the members of our band are instrumen- tal in bringing about good public relations for our school. They represent our school in civic affairs at home and in other towns, football games and industrial affairs. During 1952 the band has participated in a march- ing band contest at Kennywood Park and at a profes- sional football game at Forbes Field. T8 SENIOR IIICII BAND 'irst Row: L. Letliero.

Under the skill- ful, masterful baton of Professor Rutilio Rotili, the orchestra meets three times each Week. Classical, semi-classical, folk music, and novel- ty numbers are enjoyed. The experience one has in orchestra furnishes not only a good mu- sical background but also is inspirational to those who plan to make music a career. Our orchestra proves its talents and its achievements when We are so ably represent- ed in the Western district and very often in the state festivals. Annually the orchestra gives concerts to the students and to the public. The concerts are usually varied in scope. Included in this yearis concert were selections from uState Fairf Carouselfl Tales from the Vienna VVoods,n and Francise Militairef, At the annual senior play, the orchestra usually has a short concert before the opening of the play and special numbers between the acts. Clairton graduates will long remember the orchestrais interpretation of the Processional and Recessional symphonic numbers at their Baccalaureate services. Members of the orchestra are often invited to play at religious, civic. and social functions in our city and in our neighboring towns. Our music department helps to cement better public relations. YVe are sure that We speak the sentiments of all when we say Pro- fessor Rutilio Rotili and good music are syn- onymous. C CHOIR PRESENTS RELIGIOUS NUMBERS The Senior Choir of Clairton High School is made up of about ninety-two students. This choir. under the direction of Miss Jennie Mae Botdorf, sings mostly religious numbers. Their renditions of such numbers as 'iThe Lordis Prayerf' KCloria In Excelsisf, and the old fa- vorite, i'Battle Hymn of the Republicv were some of the outstanding Works in the Mid- W'inter Concert. Not to be forgotten was their interpretation of uThe Nutcracker Suitefi a beautiful and inspiring piece of music writ- ten by Peter Tschaikowsky. During the animal Christmas candle-light ceremony the Senior Choir presented I'Iark Now O Shepherdsfi The Holy Cityf, and The Hallelujah Chorusv from llandelis Messiah Out of this group. certain students were selected to represent Clairton High School in the County Chorus. This was held in Pitts- burgh in October of 1952. Another place Where they represented our school was at the District Chorus which was held at Ayonworth. Those who were successful in their tryouts attended the State Chorus. The attempt by Miss Botdorf to organize a religious choir has proven very successful. This is only the first step in the building of future choruses of Clairton High School, as the ,53 seniors will long remember. GIRLS CI IORUS irst Row: C, Clumiinghzun. M. A. Mihalko, B. Thompson, L.

The junior Mixed Chorus has approximately sixty members. This group specializes in secular music. Their selections presented in the Mid- Winter Concert included Joshua Fit the Battle of jerichov and Country Stylef two old stan- dards. In the annual Music Week Concert, they sang such popular numbers as I Talk To The Treesf' Hello Young Lovers, and the rousing Russian Picnicf' This group is also instru- mental in conducting the group singing in assem- blies held each month. The Sophomore Chorus together with the combined choruses sang You'll Never VValk Alonef, Give Me Your Tired, Your Poorf, and a novelty number Iohnny Schmokerf, which showed the versatility of the chorusters in the Mid-Winter Concert. This chorus is made up of fifty sophomore vocalists. The awe-inspiring Christmas tree formed by the Girls, Chorus held the audience in rapt atten- tion. While in this beautiful formation they sang Ave Marian and 'KLo How a Rose Eier Bloomingf' The Girls Chorus together with the girls from the other choruses sang Away In A Mangeri' in the pattern of a round. The combined choruses are accompanied bv hard working. co-operative girls. Long hours are spent bv these students bringing about per- fection in the music. The graduating accom- panists Rosemarv Staropoli, Mattie Capponi. and Marion Werner, leave empty places which Miss Botdorf will have to Hll with the up-and- coming sophomores and juniors. The vocal music department offers the stu- dent au opportunitv for growth in musical power and understanding through the media of the voice. The activities sponsored bv this depart- ment aim to further the student's music percep- tiveness to a maximum degree. Through the interpretation of various forms of choral litera- ture the student learns to use his voice with facilitv. He recognizes his voice as a personal instrument capable of artistic and emotional expression. Emphasis is placed upon musician- ship at all times rather than upon tef-hnicalities. The student learns to appreciate and sing pure, well-placed tones. 83 Club FUTURE TEACHERS OF AMERICA Sponsor-Miss Rose Schepis First Row: R. A. Erdnian, B. Laudise, M. Bleiehner R. Staropoli, P.

They could visualize the endless hours of work, both mental and physical, that would be necessary before the 1953 Clairtoni- an was finally sent to press. But, using as an impetus the idea of paralleling, if not bet- tering the work of last yearis award-winning staff, they dug right in, and no matter how arduous the job might be, were always willing to shoulder their responsibilities. 1 A ,.

Under the very capable direction of Miss Rosemary Stra- ka, the editors and their staff of nntiring work- ers were able to make the Clairtonian Newsl' the official voice of CHS. This year, the News,' contained, among other articles, school news, sports, gossip, and ubrilliantl, comments by the paperis mascot T eddy Bearf, Goblius and witches roamed the pages of the first issue, for this edition dealt mainly with the Halloween theme. At Christmas, the Clairtonian News set the Yuletide spirit for the whole school by publishing their edition just a few days before the Holidays. Dan Cupid was the big attraction of the third publication. for this edition contained many new and i'interestingv articles which VVRITINC AND ART First Row: V. L. Welch, B. L Laudisc, M. Bleichner, , son, E. Clapper. ler. BUSINESS liak. Lewis. Shraniko. dealt with the Valentine theme. A final issue, the Senior Special, was pub- lished especially for the departing Senior Class. It contained their class will, many memorable events, and commencement an- nouncements. Perhaps one of the most interesting and unique projects that the staff encountered this year was producing their own issue of the Clairton Progress. Seventeen eager staff mem- bers invaded the Progress office and battled with the problems of writing, advertising, and publishing a commercial newspaper. This task proved to be hard work as well as fun, for it meant devoting time both after school and on Saturdav to the Progress office where most of the work was done. After the assault was over, everyone agreed that the experience they gained will prove valuable in future years and the members of the staff expressed their deepest gratitude to the editors of the Progress for this opportuni- tv.

Even when it seemed as though they would lose, you were behind them all the way. This support paid off, too, for you had your best football record in ten years. YVho could forget the victory oyer McKees- port . . . the rivalry in the Duquesne game . . . the eight-two final record? Remember the hand and the sparkling half-time pro- grams they put on . . . the cheerleaders too. No one could top them. They were always there . . . urging the team to a touchdown . . . or to an extra point. The majorettes added just the right amount of glamour to the show. None of you will ever forget this football season. You have had many other sports, too . . . basketball, where the whole cheering section would hold its breath as the outcome of the game depend- ed on that one foul shot. Swimming . . . track . . . baseball . . girls, bowling every Tuesday after school. How much fun you had there! At every sports allair there was always the sensation of a game that was played well and won fairly. And the GAA pledges . . . you couldnit even recognize who they were with their enormous sacks of candy. Yes, youill always remember thc fun you had at the sports affairs in Clairton High School. 4 V 0 1 i AIAIW . ,A1i:,. - 1 -q...., xvth , gp!-E , -4 4 Q , ' , : 54 gf If -.

BEARS HAVE IMPRESSIVE RECORD Under the reins of one of the finest coach- ing staffs in the country, the 1952 football team attained an S-2 record, the finest since 1944. Opening the season with only two returning regulars, Mr. Brown and his assistants were constantly experimenting to find a working combination. The season opened in fine style with an impressive win over VVest Deer. but the Bears, stock fell considerably after the close game with Glassport. The next week further mysti- fied Clairton fans as the team was losing to a weak Mouongahela team until the last quarter, when they exploded with four quick touch- downs to Win 32-7. The following game marked the high point of the season with a resounding 18-6 victory over McKeesport, for which local fans had waited seven years. Suffering a natural letdown, the Bears journeyed to Munhall and absorbed a real drubbiug, but quickly rebounded the follow- ing week to defeat Central Catholic. After being shaded by Charleroi, the team then swept their Final three games, defeating highly regarded Turtle Creek, 14-7, in a game high- lighted by fine defensive playg winning easily over Brentwood -15-0, and then closing the season on a high note with a 19-0 triumph over arch-rival Duquesne.

Coach Stanley Berkinan's Cagers found themselves at the start of the league season and played consistent hall thereafter. finishing with a 9-12 record. The league rec- ord of 6-S. while not impressive. indicates a marked improvement over recent years and included in the losses are two very close games with section champion Homestead and one with runner-up Xfclieesport. Lack of an out- standing rehounder. the necessarv require- ment for haskethall champions. hurt the Bears. especially in the Section VI scramhle. Standout performers included seniors Larrv Barone, a consistent rehounder and point- makerg Svlester Flowers. another steadv floor- maug and juniors, lieuhen Lverlv who. de- spite his size, amazed the crowd with his ex- cellent -rebounding: ,Iohn Tucci. the squads outstanding hall-handler and plavniakerg lin- gene Bernardi. the teamis high scorerg and Bill Hill. a terrific rehounder and constant scoring threat with his almilitv to shoot equally xvell with either hand. Throughout the sca- son Nir. Berkman spent much time in experi- menting to find a consistent combination and in doing so gave everv varsitv squad memher an opportunity to make the starting line-up. Highlights of the year include the final game with Ric-Keesport at BicKcesport featur- ing a long argument by Mr. Berkman when the officials failed to notice two fiagraut vi- olations hv hlCKl't'S1JlJI't. and Svlester Flowers playing his hcst game of the year: the home game with Duquesne when the Bears avenged an early season druhhing hv the score of 78- 541 the close game with Brentwood. which found the team winning in the last few seconds bv a scant three pointsg and the game at Bald- win, which marked the highest point total of the vcar 86-50. The Iunior Varsitv. under the expert tute- lage of Nlr. Cihson, compiled a fine record and developed manv fine performers for next vearis squad. Chief among these are Leon Hearing, Queenie Nelson, Ronald lsger. and loc Tranchini.

SWIMMERS DO IT AGAIN For the seventh consecutive season the Clairton High School swimming team. coached by Mr. Paul Lewis. Won the YVPIAL cham- pionship, each meet being won by at least a comfortable twelye points. This year's team included one record-breaking performance when the medley relay team of Haramia, Shuck. and Troth broke the school record in this eyent. Noticing the two juniors on this relay team and the small number of graduat- ing lettermen, it seems safe to predict that next year Coach Lewis and his boys will bring home still another trophy. In the NVPIAL meet. the Clairton boys again waltzed off with most of the honors. taking home no less than five firsts. Bill Troth started things oil by winning the 100 yard breast stroke. followed by juniors Larry Ilaramia and Frank Shuck. who breezed through the 100 yard free-style and back stroke respectively. Troth and Shuck then combined with Floyd Irons to win the medley relay. and Haramia. swimming along with Scott Kennedy, Dick Soderberg. and Bob Au- gustine, led the free style relay to victory. The following week at the regional meet. the team slacked olt, as IIaramia was the only first place winner. However, Troth, Shuck, and the medley relay team all qualified for the state meet where Haramia and the relay both placed sixth. Jfmck J This year the track team, again coached by Mr. john Soich, is looking forward to ong- of the best years in the school,s history. The rebuilding program, which was begun two years ago, is now beginning to pay dividends as there are many returning lettermen on the squad. Along with these experienced boys, there are many fine prospects from the junior High. Chief among these are George Craig and lohn Blotzer, Iunior VVPIAL champs in the 100 yard dash and pole vault, respective- ly. The returning regulars include Mike But- Napoleon Anderson, left, two-year letterman, and one of the best high hurdlers in the district. VVilliam Valvo, middle, two-year letterman who is an outstanding low hurdler of the district. Rudy Sharkey, right, three year letterman who, as a member of the mile relay, is eyeing the school record. Cris Soich, left, two-year letterman, another member of the mile relay team-a strong contender in the 440. Tony Capul, middle, two- year letterman whose all around ability will strength- en the team, especially in the relays. Phillip Clif-ford, right, two- year letterman who is ex- pected to be XVPIAL champ in the shot-put. l0 ler and lrludy Sharkey, who will try to appor- tion their time between the 100 yard dash, 220, 440, and both relays, Phillip Clifford and Bob Cuenther-both fine performers in the field events, Cris Soich-440 and mile relayg Napoleon Anderson and XVilliam Valvo- hnrdlers, Bill Hill-high jump, and Tony Capul--both relays. Even now, as the 'cClairtonianv goes to press, Mr. Soich is preparing some of the boys tor the indoor meets in March, and as the regular season opens, we are sure to hear more from the track team. 3 .4 W Bazmball, p!lQ.ll1:Q.LU As this book goes to press, Coaches Sam Barone and George Matich are in the midst of a rebuilding program placing emphasis on sophomores and juniors. However, the coach- ing staff has high expectations for the coming season and they expect to take a back seat to no one in the race for the section champion- ship. The team was hard hit by graduation last year and therefore only two returning senior lettcrmen-outstanding three-year pitching veteran, Larry Barone, and smooth-Helding second baseman, Bonald Bascati. Other sen- mf' iors expected to supply much needed aid this year are: pitcher, Don Wojciechowski, out- fielder, Leon Kaltenbachg and infielder, jim Cerasoli. Top-flight junior prospects for the 1953 Nine include shortshop, John Tucci, infielder, Valdo Benedettig infielder, Bill Wilson, and outfielder Bob Wilson. The boys, along with a few sophomore prospects, should provide the nucleus for this yearis team, and' accord- ing to coaches, should provide stiff competi- tion for all its rivals. Larry Barone, left, three year regular pitcher who will be difficult to replace next year. Leon Kaltenbach, right, combination outfielder and inficlder, sure to be a wel- come performer on the squad. Ronald Rascati, left, hust- ling second baseman, known for his graceful fielding around the keystone sack. D o n a l d Wojciechowski, middle, reliable relief pitch- er who can be counted on when things get tough. james Cerasoli, r i g h t , hard-hitting utility infielder who should see plenty of action.

' The Girls' Bowling Club, organized a few years ago, can trulv boast of another successful year. This organization, under the leadership of Miss Laura Belle Hess, is composed of sophomores, juniors, and seniors who meet weekly. Though they are always ready to join in the fun, they are just as ready to do their part when it comes to racking up points. Therefore, the competition is very keen, and only the best teams come out with victories. GIRLS ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION 5.4. . The Girls Athletic Association, better known as the GAA, is sponsored by Miss Laura Belle Hess. The purpose of the organization is to promote sportsman- ship and to aid in all girls' intramural sport activities. Election to the association is by unanimous vote of all members. YVhen new members are elected, they go through a one day pledge period with traditional pig-tails, runnered stockings. and pillow-case book sacks. They are then guests at a party which consists of a solemn, formal initiation ceremony followed by food and fun. A GAA member is easily recognized by her GAA emblem which is Worn on a black sweater every Friday. 104 CIIEITRLEADERS First Row: Alice McGee, llelen xIC'llilQ,'g2l1't, Marilyn Nlinilu, Nlairie Snycler.
