They lay the foundation tor the inside story of our school. 8-25 ACTIVITIES Extra-curricular activities are con- sidered an important phase of well rounded school life. School-sponsored activities have an educational slant and are tun with a purpose. 26-47 ATHLETICS Sports have always been a high spot in the CHS stuclent's life. Thrilled, ex- cited and tense, we cheer our athletes on, learning good sportsmanship wheth- er we win or lose. 48-67 STUDENTS The inside story of a school is the story of its students . . . their joys and problems, their achievements . . . long remembered experiences shared with 68 - III SENIOR INDEXI22 -125 fellow classmates.

Wrobleski BOARD OF SCHOOL DIRECTORS In a city the size of Clairton, the school board is an important factor in the educa- tional well-being of its citizens. Through this board must pass all the policy-forming plans for the city's seven school units. The duties and responsibilities of the school board are innumerable, ranging from the selection of superintendent to the approval of pencil purchases. lt is also responsible for the establishment of the Clairton Evening School. President George J. Zdrale, vice-presi- dent Albert Billy, secretary Mrs. Sadie R. Ket- fer and treasurer Leonard C. Lehman are the guiding hands ofthe group, together with the following members: Hugh F. Mullen, Michael P. Vickers, Dr. Joseph W. Wrobleski and school solicitor, Charles P. Lewis. Total enrollment in the Clairton schools for T954-55 was 4,347 students, with each student monetarily worth 5265.66 The com- plete budget for the year totaled Sl,324,723. The school board represents a cross sec- tion of the city, its rnembers have worked un- tiringly to give Clairton a fine schol system. OUR STORY DR. KARL BOHREN Superintendent of Schools B.S., University of Pittsburgh M. Ed., University of Pittsburgh Ed. D,, University of Pittsburgh Five years is not an ex- ceptionally lcng period ot time, but it has been time enough for Clairton High School to realize its good fortune in having Dr. Karl Bohren at the head of its school system. His progres- sive ideas in modern edu- cation have resulted in an improved curriculum, pro- moting Clairton in act:- demic standing. Dr. Bohren realizes the importance cf a well- rounded athietfc program, since he is a former foot- ball coach. His success in all phases ct school life has made Dr. Bohren an indispensable personality to students and faculty alike. It's a whopper! s sr U .

BIRCH Senior High Principal A.B., Wittenberg College M.A., Columbia University University of Pittsburgh In completing his first year as principal of Clair- ton High School, Bruce C. Birch has done an admir- able iob. Prior to his present posi- tion as administrator, Mr. Birch, 'For many years, was head of the high school's department of social stu- dies. Then, as supervising principal, he was trans- ferred to Walnut Junior High School, where he gained valuable experi- ence in student association. ln May, 1954, Mr. Birch came home to Clairton High.

All in a day's work A possible 300? 4 IN OUR PROBLEMS AND CAREERS Although Mr. Brown is per- haps more widely known as the coach of Clairton High's championship football team, his title during school hours is Dean of Boys. Much of his time is spent counseling the boys on school problems and their future plans. ln coordi- nation with this, Mr. Brown sponsors the Boys Go-To-Col- lege Club. 3'--'ws NEIL C.

MONKS Vocational Director B. S., Carnegie Institute of Technology M.A., University of Pittsburgh Sometime in the course of the school year, every senior high school girl is interviewed by Miss Barclay. Sponsoring the Girls Go-To-College Club, acting as director of student activities and as faculty chair- man of the steering commit- tee are among the many du- ties Miss Barclay capably executes. Mr. Monks might hold a record at Clairton High School for having taught the longest since he has been at C. H. S. for over thirty years. They have been well spent years as teacher and as director of both the boys vocational de- partment and the night school. Mr. Monks demands scholastic ability as well as mechanical aptitude from the boys in his three shops. Rte DAVlD ARNETT-Vocational Machine Shop ANDREW E. BASCH-Vocational Electric Shop ELIZABETH T.

They appear enthralled by their discov- eries, don't they? The tour boys working on this car are learning many of the skills that will help them in the automotive industry long after their school years. rs. Panel discussions and heated de- bates in P.O.D. class help the members better prepare themselves to become active citizens and intelligent voters. Field trips and movies also help to make P.O.D. an enjoyable subject for any senior. These thirteen sportive mermaids prove that it isn't only the boys who can swim at CHS. When it's time for swimming class, these pert little aqua- maids don their suits and begin work- ing to perfect their strokes and dives. And they lived happily ever after, relates this speech student as he concludes a story at Fifth Street Grade School. Speech students re- ceive practical experience in story tell- ing, play acting and producing, and speaking before an audience. A popular course with the girls and boys, too, is driver education. Not only is the actual driving of an automobile emphasized, but a girl need no longer be a dumb Jane when it comes to changing a tire. 15 The complicated workings of this machine are no secret from this boy. He must also master the other mo- chines inthe shop before he can hope to have the background tor becoming a machinist. YOU WHAT WE The mechanics of that all important ma- chine, our body, are studied in health class . Check that weight, girls,-boys, toog-it's an asset to good health and good looks! Learning the rudiments of typing keeps this iunior typing class busy. These girls will go on to study shorthand, transcription, selling, bookkeeping and prin- ciples of selling, to graduate as competent secretaries and business wornen.

MARTELL-Physics, Senior Science A new and popular class with these boys is bachelor's homemaking. They are engrossed in making these sport shirts while their cakes are baking. This course is invaluable to every prospective bachelor. During Latin Week vari- ous emblems, such as those shown in the picture, dec- orate Miss Emma Will's r o o m. They represent everything from the Greek and Roman myths to Cae- sar's Gallic Wars, studied in Latin I and ll. These girls would experi- ence little difticulty in find- ing their way around it they were to Vamos a Mexico. Dressed in auth- entic Spanish c o s t u m e s, they are ready to vacate their Spanish ll class and tour Mexico. Displaying that priceless document of our American heritage of freedom is this iunior U. S. history class. The growth and develop' ment of our country is traced from the first English settlement to the modern metropolis of today. 19 L. fx The electric shop prepares its students for a wide field of jobs when they complete the course. If the two boys work- ing on this generator were to make a mistake, they would get quite a charge. Serving the entire school, students and faculty alike, is the junior-senior high school library. Up-to-date reference and fiction bocks, newspapers, picture and pamphlet files, plus the classics, all constitute a part of our li- brary. These two chemistry students seem to be having successful re- sults in their preparation of oxy- gen. By performing simple lab- oratory experiments students learn for themselves much of the phenomena of the fascinating world of chemistry. The study of chemistry is an experience never to be forgotten. 20 GEORGE MATICH-U. S. History EDITH L. MAUS-English 10, Commercial Law DANIEL C. MCCORMICK-Industrial Arts LUCILLE E.

Economics provides a valuable insight into the practical world of business, finance, and organization for the leaders of tomorrow. Sines and co-sines are no mystery to this young mathematician. Trigonometry, solid geometry and college algebra are the three half-year mathematical courses which give a firm foundation in logic. These boys are enjoying their related physics class which is intended to teach them some of the principles at physics that corre- spond to their shop work. They spend alter- nate weeks in the shop and classroom. These tour young physicists are engaged in proving for themselves another universal law-in this case, the resolution ot parallel forces. Physics helps to explain the many mysteries of the universe. CAFETERIA STAFF Our epicurean experts are respon- sible for the preparation of the nutri- tious and tasty dishes served in the cafeteria.

They provided o bulletin of prom pointers for the juniors and seniors, and also acted as guides for the new students in the spring. Seven members participated in the General Aptitude Test sponsored by the National Honor Society Scholarship Plan. SCHOLARSHIP, LEADERSHIP, SERVICE Where can I get a book on cars? What's a gcod biography for a book report? May I put a book on reserve? Will you get me this magazine from l952? These and other questions are answered daily by Miss Janet Nixon, head librarian, Mrs. Catherine Finch, her assistant, and the more than forty student librarians. Here stu- dents receive valuable experience working in the library two tree periods a week, at the desk and on the shelves. After two years of service, student librarians receive a small gold pin.

Formations were first plotted to scale on lined formation sheets, set up with miniature musi- cians, corrected, revised and, finally, pre- sented to the band. Weeks of hard drill and extensive planning were capsuled into four- minute shows.. .. . . IN A REVIEW For the first time the band has chosen from its ranks a member whom they con- sider the Outstanding Bandsman of the Year. He is the bandsman who excels in marching and musical ability, leadership, and who contributes greatly to the general esprit de corps . Clarinetist Bob Shuck holds this honored title. Congratulations, Bob, on a fine year in music! On these pages is one of the popular half-time shows, A ROCKET TRIP TO THE STARS. Each show started with the band mov- ing up the field in a two-company-front for- mation. From ranks, they formed the Bear's Head, adopted as the bancI's signature, and played the Alma Mater.

The club program was sponsored by student council. We were able to choose, from a large variety, the club in which we were most interested. Of course, there were athletes who be- longed to the well known Varsity Club and girls whose record for good sportsmanship entitled them to wear the GAA emblem. Our future nurses will never forget their trips to the various hospitals, from which they later anxiously awaited letters of acceptance. The Shutterbugs delighted in every opportunity to snap pictures. They even learnezl the art of developing and printing them. The FTA encouraged those interested in teaching, Junior Classical League promoted the study of Latin, the Bachelorettes, contrary to name, perfected the art of homemaking.

Speakers introduced com- mercial students to problems of the business world, college-bound seniors, to the advan- tages of higher education. Square dance clubs were barrels of fun -even for the majority who didn't quite have the knack of the do-si-do. Junior Red Cross was really a council which represented each home room. lts ser- vice proiects were all successfully carried on. Altogether, these club activities formed a memorable part of our high school story.

He also won the Tom McCann Award, a scholarship award for his out- standing ability, together with a trophy that holds one of his own shoes cast in bronze. Still another honor was Cmaradafs Hall of Fame Award, a citation which named him spark plug of the team.

Once again, the stiff Section 6 competi- tion stopped Coach Stan Berkman's Clairton High basketeers. The Bears, who rolled through their pre-league games with a 6-l record, were handed seven defeats in league competition. Despite these losses, the Bears were able to come out with an over-all ll-8 season slate. Coach Berkman developed in his boys good sportsmanship and a sense of fair play which is, by far, just as important as coming through with a championship team. Next year Mr. Berkman faces another rebuilding iob since tour regulars will be lost through graduation: Leon Hearing, Robert Gadson, Harold Weightman, and Joe Tran- chini. The coach will also lose the services of seniors Bill Relt and Ronald lsger. However, all is not lost. With Willie Bradford, who made second string on the All- District team, and Russell Fenton, both ex- perienced ball players, returning, he will have a nucleus with which to start. Other promis- ing boys are Trosch, Marincic and Batton. The J.V.'s were under the coaching of Gene Gibson. JV'S POLISH TECHNIQUE.

Like the football team, the swimmers got oft to a poor start when Oliver outscored them. But the team's will to win, together with their outstanding ability, proved to be too much for the next eight teams. These meets were won by overwhelming margins. The team will lose some of its best swim- mers with graduation, but Coach Lewis has a good group of freshmen and sophomores coming up, and the main load will be carried by the juniors. Can they pull Clairton to an- other championship and chalk up number ten? We salute the T955 WPIAL Swimming Champions and their coach, Paul Lewis. Dick Soderberg swims in the 200 yard free style relay. The other members of the re- lay are Byron Scott, Harry Aiken and Martin Boback. They will compete in both the re- gional and state meets.

Cross-country runners off to another victory over Duquesne, Gecan and Groce leading. 62 DOWN TO THE WIRE This is an optimistic year for John Soich's cindermen. ln the past few years, the track team has steadily improved to become one of championship caliber. Many of our boys will participate in the Mansfield Relays. Certain to go is Clairton's record-breaking 880 relay team, one of the most feared in Pennsylvania. Relayers Joe Belland, Don Williams and anchor man, George Craig, have been together for three years. Craig became one of the five fastest men in the state when he broke the 220 school record last year. He is expected to break the school record in the l00 yard dash this year. Outstanding hurdlers are Don Williams, Howard Johnson, and Leon Hearing who should be on top when the season ends. Long distance boys have a leader in Bob Hays, a hard worker who really pours it on when the going gets tough. Richard Hafner and Eugene Preacher Groce are returning quarter-milers. ln the field events we have Jerry Keeney, who is attempting to till Bob Guenther's place. John Sgroi is the most promising new member of the weight team. Smallest member of the team is pole vaulter John Blotzer, who makes up in ability what he lacks in size. Altogether, the team looks quite promis- ing. Good luck to our thin clads!

As reflected in the crystal ball in mid-March, the '55 baseball secxson looks promising. The opti- mism is due to seven senior letter- men who are expected to keep Borone's Bears in strong conten- tion. Lacey Sirnmons, performing on the mound, and Joe Tranchini, ver- satile catcher, should turn out to be o hot combination. Third base will be occupied by Bob Gad- son, one of the best infielders in the district. The keystone bag will answer to the cleats of Bill Schweit- zer while the outfield will be rounded out by Doc Geletko, Bob Pyle and Jerry Coburn. Together with these seniors are several undergraduates. Willie Bradford is a good pitching pros- pect, Vernon Presley is routed high at first. These positions are tenta- tive, however, and will be open for competition. ln conjunction with the piloting of Sam Barone and George Matich, his assistant, we predict thot our nine will give the other teams in the section a good run for tlrst place. 64 SOPHOMORES IN ACTION HIGH-SCORING BOW LERS Sophomore girls enioyed bowling every Monday atternoon Seated: Mary Piatek, president, .layneann Thompson, senior at the Trombi Bowling Alleys, Although girls did not compete interscholastically in sports, they did have limited intramurals. Over T50 girls belonged to the bowling clubs. Sophomores, iun- iors and seniors participated in this activity which provided keen com- petition since there could be indi- vidual as well as team recognition. Shrieks were frequently heard coming from the gymnasium as ex- citement mounted in volleyball, basketball or a relay game. This year, modern dance was studied for the first time in the phy- sical education course. Late in the spring, o program was presented under the direction of Mrs. Olga Malutinock, Mrs. Mary Lou Sebastian and Miss Clare Boy- er. The exhibition included danc- ing, marching and a drill by senior high, with a tumbling perform- ance given by the iunior high school. The girls health program is quite extensive, even to the inclu- sion of good grooming and make- up techniques.

Ted- dy's clowning certainly added that spark which is symbolic of Clair- ton's get-up-and-go. This year's Bear, Jackie Moller, did a great job of supporting the team and en- tertaining the fans. CHS could never get along without its energetic and devoted cheerleaders. The girls add color to the games with their stunts and cheers. Winning or losing, they're always rarin' to go, never lacking the pep or enthusiasm to cheer their favorite team to victory.

There was much anticipation. There were many questions in our minds as to who would be in our home rooms, who our teachers would be and, most of all, could we ever find our way around this big school? Yes, those first few days were both frightening and joyful. Weren't we proud to walk down the hall, exchanging smiling glances with our old friends and our many new friends at CHS. We must agree that the first few days were the most confusing. How many times did we find ourselves in the wrong class after a portion of the period had already passed? With help from many sources, including our handbooks, things finally calmed down and we learned the daily routine of the senior high. Before long, activities and clubs were our main topic of discussion. Although we are outnumbered by iun- iors and seniors, seven of our sophomores have achieved special recognition in the band.

This council is doing a wonderful job col- lecting toys, pocket size novels and baskets for the needy. The sophomores also have taken interest in the Shutter- bugs numbering thirteen, and they outnumber iuniors and seniors on the iunior varsity. Three of the boys earned varsity letters. There are also nine sophomores on the swimming team, eight substitutes and one varsity diver. lt is evident that we are participating in clubs, sports, and other school activities. We have enrolled five hundred fifty-two soph- omores, and stand academically as the highest class in the senior high school. We will elect our class otalicers in the early spring under the direction of Miss Angeline Tait, our class spon- sor. We will surely elect capable students as leaders of our junior year, since we realize the importance of class officers. Now that we are a part of the senior high and have taken our place in activities and clubs, we are proud to say vve're from Clairton High School. 71 5 . lr? 5 l ,- .mom Bottom Row-left to right: Howard Tennant, Frank Vavor, Mickey Mrvosh, Peter Karloski, Herbert Urbanik, Gary Pratt, John Norcline, Jelitery Hogg Second Row: Joseph Fant, Florence Elias, Ken- neth Mamula, Janice Smith, Donna Martin, An, nette Lewis, Maureen Hanlon, Mary De Pretis, Harold Pascoe Third Row: Jay Roblee, Nancy Tyson, Thomas Eells, Mary Patterson, Gwendolyn Pipkin, David King, Michael Kaclar, Ronald Deems, Michael Brnilovich Top Row: David Barnes, Donald Cochran, Harry Andrews, Charles Mathews, Ralph Fitterer, Joseph Dickson, Norman Zimmerman, Wayne Whitfield, David Lewis Bottom Row-left to right: Dave Dranko, Tim Stefan, Bob Shobel, Dale Chewning, Thomas Lloyd, Angelo Lagona, George Merrit Second Row: Elsie Hindman, Marilyn Craig, Con- nie Lister, Norma Michel, Connie McKenna, Mariorie Hammar, Joan Fekety, Emma McCul- lough Third Row: Anna Mae Oluivic, Margaret Pazo, Helen Johnston, Audrey Foaks, Betty Petric, Francis Bateman, Carole Ordino, Barbara Black Top Row: Patrick Campbell, Lola Scappellato, Marion Sporio, Connie Charniecki, Dolores Coshdollar, Pat Workman, Bertha Washington, Marva Puryear, Marie Golden, John DeRoss Bottom Row-left to right: Robert Tidball, An- thony Palumbo, Harry Aiken, Edward Prince, Russell Szuhoza, Paul Hay, Robert Metcalfe Second Row: Larry Henderhen, Alex Papade- metriou, Joseph Kettish, Robert Tracy, Lenore Culmer, Mary E.

a year of study and fun for everyone. We iun- iors have had a wonderful time. Our studies didn't prove to be as diffi- cult as we had anticipated. We aren't as learned as the seniors, but we have a slight edge on the sophomores in the knowledge de- partment. We can smile now at those chem- istry formulae, geometry equations, history battles, and English grammar. But, in their turn, they were big problems. However, we know their mastery was for our own good. Now we can relax from study for a few months. Of course, our work meant a lot to us, but we still had time to get in a lot of fun and activities. Remember the excitement of the Varsity Hop on November 29? We had won the W. P. I. A. L. AA championship and iust had to celebrate. We were especially proud to be able to honor the fifteen 'Football play- ers who were part of our iunior class. 75 Although they received no special recog- nition, we can't forget our classmates who were on the other varsity teams. Remember April 29? It was a dream come true for most of us. We were surrounded by the glamour of New York and Manhattan Towers. For one night we were really soph- isticated as we waltzed to the music of Ham- ilton Whitlinger and his orchestra. What a wonderful prom! The year was over before we had a chance to catch our breath. We had accom- plished quite a bit. We had made new friends, formed clubs, planned special events and oh, yes-we got our class rings! lt was truly a wonderful year. We had lots of fun and studied hard, some of us even decided upon our careers. We'll remember T955 as perhaps our best year. lt's all over now, but we have something very special to look forward to in 1956. Next year, we will be seniors.

We are looking forward and wondering what the years will bring-fame, fortune, marriage, happiness? It will be interesting to see what life will do to us in the next ten years. It will be even more interesting to see what we do with life. So remember, it is a date. In 1965 we shall publicize the hour, place and other im- portant details. So, farewell and thank you until we meet again. C?!6L51f jillfef - ' QM? Cjfczgigi CZAJP5 - - ggw aww! VXMJLLQ LEAVES CHS TO WRITE A BIGGER STORY Seniors-at last! It seems so long and yet so short a time since we were first trundled off to school at the age of six. So much has gone behind us and so much is yet to come. Some will go on to college, many into various fields of business, and others into the armed services. 8l We hope that our education and associa- tions through the years have prepared us to face the complex adult world. We, as seniors, have presented you the inside story, as we best know it, of our last year at Clairton High. 'E'-ixgpki as x-5 z jj xx 1 ,if i X 'lf' 'ii I . , .,. , . Qi In F - .

Paper, paint and ingenuity completely transformed the gym into a world of beauty. The Post-Prom Party was a huge suc- cess, too. Sophomores had their first taste of CHS night life at the Get-Acquainted Dance. Later in the fall the Victory Hop was held in honor of our gridiron champions. Holiday spirit prevailed at the traditional Christmas Dance . . . Frosty Fantasy, where couples danced gaily beneath sparkling snow crystals. Valentine's Day brought Dan Cupid with red hearts and paper lace ,.. the Sweetheart Hop. We had a wonderful social year, with excitement and an' ticipation a great part of each long-remembered evening. WHIRL 1 .V .N NWN!

Under the direc- tion of Mrs. Elizabeth T. Bayles, the Senior Class provided two evenings of hilarious entertainment, as they pre- sented You Can't Take lt With You, a three-act comedy by Moss Hart and George Kaufman. The Sycamores, among their many oddities, indulged in raising snakes, manufacturing fireworks and writing plays. These strange characters were difficult to portray so, behind the scenes, makeup was applied feverishly, and lines were quickly rehearsed once again, while over all, a frenzy of excitement prevailed. But the students proved to be real actors and the production was a huge success. At Christmas, the Senior Choir, cli- rected by Miss Jennie Mae Botdorf, told the story of the Nativity in the beautiful cantata, The Song of Christmas . An impressive tableau enacted this Christmas message, with Mrs. Elizabeth T. Bayles and her speech students re- sponsible for the presentation and elab- orate costuming.
