Superintendent of Schools Dr. Karl Bohren with the approval of the Board of School Directors had led our supervisors in drafting a new program. It incorporated those changes which he felt were dictated by the times: longer class periods- Russian fwith televisioni German advanced language and mathematics courses third required year of social studies- an honors group in each grade other homogeneous grouping integration of technical students for academic subjects- new emphasis on the Guidance Departmentg new departmental courses of study. lf drastic curriculum changes for acceleration should be required by new state or national set-ups, we Clairton students would already be conditioned for hard work.

'knlilnn , ' aunt IIIVG-SUBJECT SCl1GCUlGS Nation's survival rests on scholars Men like Dr. James B. Conant, Dr. James Killian, Jr., and the presidents of our great universities say that the fate of our way of life rests squarely on our ability to educate minds equal to the task of preserving it. But, they say, today too many bright young Americans come from high school unprepared to meet true university standards. They offer statistics to prove that fwhile they may not approve of Russian methodsl more Russian than American minds are being trained for advanced scientific and cultural thinking. Finally, they call attention to this frightening paradox: although the United States is the traditional stronghold of education, we care less than most nations, do less, and spend less to fund and to train the brilliant minds we desperately need - not iust to maintain our world position, but to safeguard our very freedom.

Five solid subjects with double lab periods, double English periods, and physical education left us five periods per week for electives and study - a change- over which made past years seem like play. While most of us have met the challenge, we did discover that we had never really learned to budget our time, to concentrate, or to study effectively. We strongly recommend that somewhere these skills be specifically taught. We have not minded being the first to struggle, but we should like to record that it has not been easy.

We are ready to acknowledge the purely cultural benefits and the mental discipline of language study. But when we are told, as we have been this year in both fact and fiction, that an American diplomat's mastery of language-learning techniques could one day save our lives, we are shocked. We are further warned that Americans are hated now in other countries, particularly in Asia, because our representatives there neglected to learn native languages and to study and respect native customs. Their Russian counterparts, on the other hand, are Huent whatever the language and tactful about local practices. Evidently, if we are to get along with the world, we must change our attitude. For us to acquire the foreign language habit in public school could be part of the solution.

Uv. sp, COmmUl1I1I VISIOHGO l'lGl2G Languages do gain emphasis When Dr. Karl Bohren announced to the language faculty that he had arranged for the introduction of German and Russian into the curriculum, he expressed the hope that one day Clairton would be known as the town in which everyone is able to speak at least two languages. As a step toward this goal, he added, plans were being discussed for starting languages in the Clairton grade schools. A little later we students learned that in addition to the new German and Russian courses, we could also choose from a third year of Latin or Spanish. In view of the national need, Clairton students should become more language-minded, should take advantage of the courses offered, should make Dr. Bohren's dream a reality. uzdw-4 wnol Sclm.i,l3wCDC4Ll.s lK0,QrQaM6S N Z, Sims Cllcuvvwlsf .

Because ever-increasing numbers will be knocking at their doors, they are being forced to set their entrance standards on rising scales.

The co-ed cooking controversy in California made television headlines. These curriculum purgers may have noble aims and may be right to a degree.

The question of whether courses like these and student-run organizations are, or are not, worthless frills still requires careful study. We hope that the nation, and Pennsylvania, 12 and Clairton will come to the wisest of conclusions. Although some of us students this year have regretted the sharp cut in our extra-curricular program, we have been grateful that the administration kept many electives on the program of studies. Although some were offered on restricted time schedules, we were able to elect art, band, chorus, public speaking, homemaking, typing, driver training, blue print reading, or laboratory journalism for either newspaper or yearbook. Un- fortunately many of us who wanted these courses were not able to fit them into our five-subject schedules.

Six-lettermen strong, the team defeated Connellsville and Hickory on their courses, copped wins at home from Penn, Baldwin, and Shaler, and placed seventh of i4 in the Central Catholic Invitational at Schenley Park, and also seventh in the WPIAL meet at Aliquippa.

PW 'V' 51, .Ml-' txg 3, W 'Y mg With one more to go, the kids want to go all the way! Thursday night before fateful November 22: burnt offerings. make unexpected second trip to Pitt Stadium Crying towels had been wrung and re-wrung by the coaches at the 10-day August training session in the mountains near Trent, Pennsylvania. We've lost everything! Only one starter back. This team is too GREEN! Three months later on November 22, they were pacing the sidelines at the Pitt Stadium AA-WPIAL play-off. What had happened to their Bears between August and November? Fans first witnessed a one-sided Bear win over Pitts- burgh's Peabody. Then the boys tied their Glassport neighbors. Since the Gladiators were not AA, the record was still clean, but the outlook was cloudy. Two quick, easy wins, though, over league com- petitors Mon City and Donora sent more confident Bears to face undefeated Munhall. There two quick scores, intercepted posses, and a goal-line stand add- ed up to a 13-7 Clairton victory. A smashing victory over Ambridge made mount- ing hometown excitement soar. This couldn't be true! But trophy-headed Charleroi was next. It meant sud- den WPIAL death for the loser. As the Bears played their best game of the season, it was Charleroi who dropped out of the race. Brownsville, Connellsville, and Duquesne were the final stepping stones to the play-off. This was a wonder team. A strong line, bench deep, built itself into a brick wall around Kaltenbach. Fleet youngster halfbacks by the half-dozens proved able replacements for the injured Lancaster. Yaksick and Young at fullback were fearsome. Tiny SieFfert's torpedo punt returns were breath-catching. But most beautiful to see were the passes tossed to ends Liv- ingston, Kelly, and Guba by miniature, iron-horse, perpetual Paoletti, who quarterbacked the 1958 Bears to fame. So, Coach Neil Brown's green Bears traveled to the Stadium for the second straight year, this time to brave a strongly favored, much heavier Johns- town eleven. They Iost 3-0, really a moral victory. In 1957, it was 13-O to Wilkinsburg. In 1959, they'Il go a third time, they say, and this time 3 will be their lucky number.

WYATT EARP, ZORRO, script signature new in '58 Losing many seniors and the Jefferson sopho- mores meant that the Varsity Marching Band had to start from scratch last summer. But a music camp session in Kentucky for a few players and performances at the Clairton Lions' and Wilkinsburg's festivals hinted early that the year would be brighter than Director Ben E. Benack had been anticipating. New entrance music written and arranged by Assistant Director Richard Bertini put the year's accent on the military, Loyal fans cheered as the Band with the Beat swung onto the field, their new gray uniforms set off with bright-orange scarves and plumes. As the season moved on, Wyatt Earp almost, but not quite, replaced Saints as the cheering X , XA BEN E. BENACK D. . Q :rector RICHARD A. BERTINI Assistant Director W section's favorite, and the familiar theme music for the Zorro show made a hit. A brilliant Trombone King backed the maiorettes' spectacular dice routine. Formation-wise, Mr. Benack's script-CHS signature was an eye-catching replacement for the old Bear's Head. A variety-show-type spring concert with stage dec- orations including the Honeybears was to feature Clarinet Capers, the Barber of Seville, and music from the current Broadway hit The Music Man, besides requested last year hits like Coat of Arms. After the May Band Banquet, always climaxed by awards to best bandsmen and maiorettes, seniors- to-be would take over preparations for the Memorial Day parade, the graduation concert, and Pittsburgh's Bicentennial Parade. i I For the Pitt Stadium show, Mr. Benack rehearses the band to perfect its new signature, the script CHS.

Miss Audrey Smith's routine for Zorro with black masks and capes was the big hit until later when the dice appeared - then that was it.

Fun helps to make work easier in Miss Kruppa's English classes. gggnuui lt you like free verse or dactylic dimeter, the Bard of Avon or Ogden Nash, CHS's English classes are for you. Sophomores meet the world of literature through personalities like Julius Caesar and Silas Marner. Edgar A. Poe and Mark Twain bring American prose and poetry to life for juniors. Seniors sharpen their wits on British essays, epics, and epi- grams. Common to all are the six-a-year book reports and the grammar exercises, never appreciated until later. A sophomore making pudding for an audience of thirty is not an unusual sight in Speech classes, where students learn to ignore stage fright. ln Public Speaking, seniors and iuniors gain self-confidence producing and acting in the class's play. Besides assured speaking, these classes teach appreciation of fine speeches, drama, and other literature connected with these arts. Mr. Pinto's ruler says that Marilyn Trognitz, Gerry Mitro, and Sandy Jackson are not demonstrating the proper posture for even the most informal conver- sation. .:r- Q, Recordings in French make Mrs. Young's class most enioyable for Mary Quinn Bill Jones, and Sandra ta, 5 ,ff x J 'H 1 4 V D .1 .

Combine plane and solid into a one-year course. More than any other math, students need algebra. Give them as much as possible. Don't bother about calculus or analytical geometry. You teach them algebra and we'll take up from there. Who is this we ? College math professors! CHS math teachers sat up and took notice to these and other suggestions in March and April of i958 when Dr. J. H. Neelley of Carnegie Tech conducted a conference series on mathematics education. This inservice teacher training program was the first step toward the revision of Clairton's mathematics course of study. Mr. Lazzaro helps Armand Martin and Bill Ingram learn to apply one of the many useful general math WMM Mr. Jacobs introduces Francine Cheeks Q to Pythagoras and his famous theorem.

ANTHONY Math II Algebra I SAMUEL K. Algebra ll CHARLES c. PATTON Mm, III Plane Geometry Advanced math geared to new needs After Dr. Neelley's talks, CHS teachers did much thinking and then made a number of changes in the math program. Juniors got more than they had expected from plane geometry this yearg for one grade period, parallelopipeds,and prisms replaced flat circles and triangles. Solid geometry was taught for the last time as a senior subject and gave up four weeks of its semester to more trigonometry. ln response to the more and more algebra call, college algebra was expanded from a one-semester to a full-year course. CHS math is being trimmed for action. 81 ' 5 Nw is kit . up L ,--.1-Q lbw--'...-ff' 5 mick ASX, 2 LW 033 f A! . '.- a Wu! if-KI' ' mf A , ' . I - ' 5 ' .1 . f , I 1 if xlf. 1 .i 5 , 1- z E.

Commercials learn skills vital to today's economy Just as our modern world needs mathematicians, scientists, and technically-skilled workers, it also needs persons to make and keep records, to sell goods, and to handle money - in short, to keep the business world running smoothly. CHS's Commercial Depart- ment prepares students for employment as secre- taries, bookkeepers, stenographers, other oFfice clerks, and stores sales persons. Three majors are oftered to commercial stu- dents. Bookkeeping trains them to keep business records involving money. Stenography leads to good secretarial positions. Clerical-selling prepares those interested in selling, merchandising, and the distribu- tion of goods. Class trips give commercials opportunities to observe modern office practices and to look into their own futures. The annual trip to the G. C. Murphy offices was made this spring, but the addition of a new one to the Burroughs Office Machines was an acknowledgment of the tact that to know today the typewriter, the duplicator, and the adding machine is no longer enough. Business has become a mosaic of punches. Office Practicers Pauline Butvin and Sandra Cheeks must checked out on duplicating machines by Miss Marovich. 1 While Connie Pecsi continues to type, Miss Ortner points out how Althea Nester should correct a wrong typing habit. ln General Business, Barbara Vibostak's and Elaine Matlovxch s first tries at shorthand require Mrs. Lewis's help. 1-Q if -Tr ! f 5 JOSEPH C. SCHRECK Director, Tech Education Adult Education Tech boys are all-important in applied-science crisis The national emphasis on science and technology has increased greatly the demand for mechanics and technical workers. CHS's Tech Department turns out boys well trained in the mechanical arts, qualified either to enter industry or to continue in other technical schools or colleges. Future radio and TV workers or electrical con- tractors train amidst a bewildering tangle of wires, tubes, and generators. Wheels, gears, pistons, and axles decorate the workshop of prospective auto- motive workers. Drill presses, grinders, and lathes prepare boys for all-important tool and die jobs.

Besides, they learn to appreciate all the ways the arts can contribute to brightening their lives. Home Talents, lnc. Do you want a casserole, a sizzling platter, or a pecan roll? A buttonhole, a French seam, or a box pleat? A tip on what to wear to a garden tea or a formal dinner? Clairton's Homemaking Department is ready to oblige.

Stage Door, a drama set in a boarding house for young actresses, is about the difficulties they encounter in finding and keeping jobs.

Student Council officers and their sponsor, Mr. James Martell, managed to make the organization a functioning one this year in spite of having no definite meeting time available during school hours. After their October installation, members set to work on a United Fund Drive, new for CHS. It re- placed. the usual CARE campaign, and meant that students would not be asked to contribute to any other fund-raising drive. One of their adopted aims was more social affairs. A Sweater Hop in November, a Snowman Council sponsor James Martell in Eames, conference on Parents, Nigm. Wonderland at Christmas, and a Heart Hop in February kept them busy decorating and selling tickets. The officers assisted in making plans for the Prom. Their revival of the information desk in the front hall proved its worth from the beginning. With the new emphasis on parent conferences bringing so many persons into the building, someone to direct them became very essential. New council members, standing at attention, wait for Mr. Birch to read them their pledge of duty as representatives.

School Directors continue The Board of Directors of the Clairton School District has been the springboard for the accentuated learning program. Recognizing the need for acceleration and new emphasis, the directors quickly acted upon recommendations which Superintendent Karl Bohren made. They gave their approval to junior high reading and writing remedial work, to emphasized science, foreign languages, and mathematics. For next year, the Board will have installed a foreign languages laboratory, one of three in the state! Individual booths, complete with recording machines and earphones, will be set up in one of the classrooms. The outstanding step taken is their securing of the services of Dr. Helen B. Knipp as an assistant superintendent in charge of cur- riculum. She will begin her work in Clairton late in August. YA?

They reported a delightful eve- ning there and a fine time at the post-prom party set up in the auditorium and the school cafeteria. This year it was to be a Moonlight Fantasy at the Baldoc Country Club, April 24, music by Richard Bertini, and a civic- sponsored post-prom party in the recreation room of the First Presbyterian Church.

They look forward to further competition in the intramural games. This year, however, the tight schedule and boys' basketball interfered with the tournaments until spring, and they would not be completed until sometime in May. As for the GAA, sponsor Miss Barbara Ceryak was able to work in a gym night or two during the winter, and the members were officiating in the after-school tournament games.

Wx, use middle spot to The seniors are King. The sophomores are low man. We juniors in between like the people's rule. Each member of our class has had a say in solving our problems. As a result, we have the first new class ring design in many, many years, and a set of prom rules which express the majority ideas of the class. Class business seemed less unwieldy this year. As the largest sophomore class in CHS history, we made the school simply bulge. Then the new Thomas Jeffer- son High School was opened and swallowed at least half of us. We'll be the first class in over thirty years to graduate without any Jefferson township students. The accent on learning affected us too. Fine year. Big reward: for eighty-five per cent averages, five subiects to carry. We took College Board and Na- tional Merit tests and found we had vacuums in our vocabulary and mathematics storage cells. Muscles developed carrying books enabled our boys to share, then to steal the spotlight in all sports. The girls were better able to shoulder prom re- sponsibilities. Now as soon as the old King abdicates, we can take over. Who knows - maybe they'll say in June, 1960, There'll never be another class like it.

So ends Year One in the new era of learning The school is deserted. There's laughter at the ' '35 swimming pool and on the tennis courts. The school year of 1958-1959 has ended, but not the accent on learning. Many rumors were flying that September, or August, perhaps, would bring changes all in the direction of more learning, not iust for college preparatory students, but for com- mercial and technical students as well. Learning in Clairton would continue to keep pace with the times.

Now we would like to put it on those who have helped us most. A gigantic accent is awarded Miss Suzanne Phillips, yearbook adviser. Other im- portant accents go to Mrs. Jean D. Cowan, Mr. John Young and his selling classes, Council money collectors, and Mr. Jack Marshall of Edwards Brothers. The last accent, transformed by magic from a broom, is for Mrs. Maggie Marincic, the iournalism room's ianitress, who saved many a yearbook page's copy from the terrors of the furnace room. Maggie Marincic, who kept the late- ones in 120 in a good humor, and who seemed to know iust which scraps to SCV6. 151 Allridge Flower Shop American Legion Post 8I7 Arnold's Shoe Store Sponsors Sponsors These persons orgamzatlons and business establushments have generously helped to make the I959 CLAIRTONIAN posslble Sponsors We thank them sincerely Robert D Baird John T Baker 8K Son Baron Ford and Edsel Sales Incorporated Bekavac Funeral Home Benacks Studlo Blackburn Brothers Dr D M Bones Dr and Mrs Charles C Bookert Bowen Drug Store Braum Brothers Bruce s Sunoco Servuce Brunos Dalry Store Dr J R Buser and Dr G R Buser Carls Oldsmobile Incorporated Carroll Motors Central Electnc Dr W B Charlton Children s Shoppe and Style Center Cnty Plumbing 81 Heatmg Supplies Clalrton Commercial Incorporated The Clalrton Progress Clalrton Publishing Company Clalrton Sport Shop Claurton Works Benefit Club Dr and Mrs W P Clark Cloverleaf Barber Shop Cmaradas Curnnga Pharmacy Mrs Wllluam Datch Debs DeCarlo s Frult Market Demons DeCesares Shoe Store Noble J Duck Llnes Dr and Mrs George Dragan Dravosburg Coal Company Edgar s Men s Shop Farrell s Furmture Flrst National Bank of Clalrton Fisher Barber Shop J Frederlcks Flowers Clyde L Friend Agency Fullerton Funeral Home Genuine Motor Parts Glenn s Furmture Goldstrohm s Market Gregg Motor Company Gumbel Chevrolet Hannes Super Market Route Hanson s Glft Shop Hams Style Shop Dr H Vmcent Heldenrelch Norman llkuvitz Italo American lnstructive Club J.
