Therefore the world as we know it has been bounded by black- boards and school books, and peopled by our parents, teachers, and schoolmates. We have been very happy in this small world. In the 1955 TOMAHA WK we have tried to show our high school life, as we have lived it, in picture and in story. Q n Every class needs an adviser who is both understanding and cooperative. Mr. Iames Rittner, has been chosen man ot the year by the senior class. Through the passing of time many incidents oi our high school days may be forgotten, but the friendship. enthusiasm, and sincerity bestowed upon us by our adviser will never fade away.

The Board of Directors of the Cresson Ioint Schools is made up of twenty-five men and women Who were elected to the position of school director in the various communi- ties which make up the Cresson Ioint Schools. Directors are elected for a term of six years and are permitted by law to succeed themselves. School directors have the responsibility for the efficient operation and administra- tion of the school. When policies are determined, the task of carrying out the wishes of the School Board is delegated to professional employees of the school. Each of the districts belonging to this jointure is an fourth class district, that is, its population is under five thousand people, and the number of directors that a district of this size is allowed to have is limited by law to five. The Board of Directors of the Cresson Ioint Schools has sixty employees and one thousand pupils housed in five buildings, under its jurisdiction. It is now in the process of completing final plans for the new one and three-quarter million dollar high school build- ing which is to be built adjacent to the athletic field. During the next school term, the di- rectors will supervise the expenditure of more than S35U,000.00. l Ashville Borough School Board-Mrs. Ienny Holtz, Mrs. Evelyn Eyer, President, Mrs. Nora Conrad, Mrs. Rose Brannigan, lAbsent from picture--Reverend I.

With our efficient president, Mike Prebish, setting, the pace, the class of '55 pitched in to help make our senior year a memorable one. Mr. Bittner, adviser, was just the stimulus we needed. Dances were held every Friday after the home football and basketball games. The con- cession stands at the athletic field, the magazine subscription campaign, and all-purpose cards sale also helped to build our finances. All work and no play was certainly not the motto of the class of '55. In extra-curricular activities we were outstanding. The football squad was manned by twelve seniors, wrestling squad had four, the basketball team, eight: the baseball team, five, and the track team. seven. Ron Reghetti was elected most valuable player and Bill Carney honorary captain by their teammates for the football season. William Glass was elected most valuable player and Richard Stanley honorary captain for the basketball season. The band boasted fourteen members from the senior class. Marcie Trexler and Carol Con- rad represented us in All-County Band and Chorus. Eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow you die, may be just an old philosophy, but for the seniors it recalls a real experience: namely, the ball and banquet. The banquet was held on April 27, at the Legion, and the following night, the ball. Have fun? You bet. Ask any senior and he'll tell you. Following three days of hard thinking came class day. Thrilled and happy, the seniors marched into the study hall to take their seats, while all the underclassmen stood silently by to Witness the last senior class meeting. It included a roll call dating back to our Freshman year. Then came May 25, the last time the Wonderful class of '55 Was together. Graduation ex- ercises were held in the Legion. The World re ceived 95 happy, fun-loving, boys and girls from Cresson Ioint High School. a da 730 9112.211 BETTY ABBOTTS . . . Bets . . .

Represented by 131, the Iunior Class of '56 is the largest eleventh grade in the his- tory of our school. Activities such as dances, the Prom on Friday, May 13, and the arrival of our rings in December kept the title of Iolly Iuniors in highlights. Almost everyone participated in some kind of school activity. In football we were represented by 145 basketball, llp wrestling, 55 Girls' Chorus, 8. and Boys' Chorus, 8. We also had a good turnout for the band with 14 members. Helping lead the cheers at all of our games are Mary Alice Rightnour-our only varsity cheerleader-and Barbara Briel, Carol Boland, Audrey Oldham, and Ioann Nazit, our tour junior varsity cheerleaders. In the annual oratorical contest sponsored by the American Legion our class was given honor by Ioseph Krise. He received the final vote ot the judges and later advanced to Ebensburg where he achieved second place. Five of our members were among those who participated in the forensic play, The Long Christmas Dinner. Iimmy Harris was in All-County Band this year. Iimmy Harris and Ioann Nazit were elected attendants tor the Football King and Queen in October, and Richard Bergamaschi and Mary Alice Rightnour were selected at- tendants ior the Christmas King and Queen. The Iunior members of the Boys' Council were Melvin Baker, Pete Plummer, and Paul Borlie. Members of the Girls' Council were Mary Alice Rightnour, Ioann Nazit, and Mary Mastri. There were three girls' intramural basketball teams from the Iunior class - Star Lighters, Dog Patchers, and Shooting Stars. The champs were the undefeated Dog Patchers. The dream of every Iunior finally came true on May 13 when the Prom was held in the American Legion Ballroom. The fun and hCIl'd Work Of this Year Will, We 1101991 1115149 seniors of all of us.

We may have been 126 Silly Sophomores at the beginning ol our second year of school, but nine months oi hard work made a great change in our dispositions. We had iun initiating the Freshmen. Later we got down to the serious business of making money for our class. We sold refreshments at dances and wrestling matches, and our bake sale in Ianuary netted S4U. However, our chief money-making project was a spaghetti supper in February for which our mothers turned cook. Bill Delozier and Pat Chirdon received varsity. football letters. Fourteen sophomores were out for football this year. Eight classmates were junior varsity basketball stars. The wrestling team claimed four Sophies-Pat Chirdon, Melvin Gonsman, Owen Horten, and Norman Murphy. ' The tumblers were Connie Reilly, Ann Plummer. Nadine Koons, and Doris Little. Nadine Koons is doing fine as a varsity cheerleader. Following her are Ann Plummer and Doris Little in the junior varsity. Iudy Criste is making good as .a majorette. Laverne Krug and Eric Iudd were attend- ants to the football king and queen. Ellen lane Eckenrode and Bob Campbell were elect- ed attendants to the king and queen at the Christmas dance. Leonard Basil entered the I Speak for Democracy contest. Mr. Flinn has eight sophomores to help with his fine band. The Sophomores have three intramural girls' basketball teams-Iitterbugs, Scorchers, and Hot Shots. The Scorchers are the class champs.

We were duly welcomed into high school life at the Freshmen-Sophomore initiation party, an occasion we'll never forget. In February, we scheduled a skating party where we earned money while we had fun. The class also decided to boost the treasury with yearly class dues of one dollar. Many Freshmen participated in school activities. Eleven band members were from our ranks. Mary Borlie and Carl Martynuska were attendants from our class at the annual football Coronation. Io Ann Herby was a mem- ber of the tumbling team. Q The three Freshmen wrestlers were Larry Eckenrode, lim Rice, and Leo Davis. Eddie Luther made the Iunior Varsity basketball team. For the first time in five years a Freshman received a varsity letter in football. This honor went to our classmate, Iim Eckenrode. Freshmen on the Iunior Varsity squad numbered eleven. The backbone of the Iunior High basketball team was the twelve Fresh- men athletes who dressed for each game. We were capably advised throughout our Freshman year by Miss Ann Eckley.

The need for an active Dramatics Club in our school has been felt for a long time, so in November such a group was organized by Miss Ann Eckley cmd Mr. Philip Stetson. It consists of 75 potential actors and actresses, and their project was a series of one-act plays this year. An original play patterned after Our Town was presented for Thanksgiving. Next came the Christmas musical pageant. Then Mr. Stetson picked a cast to prepare a play, The Long Christmas Dinner to be given in Foren- sic competition. Ianet Hall and Irene Tutsock directed Pat's Matrimonial Venture. Grace Rice and Peggy Farren directed the other, St. Patrick Saves the Day. Both Irish plays were given as paid assemblies. Later in March a one-act play entitled The Valiant was presented by several other mem- bers of the club under Miss Eck1ey's direction. ROW l: G. Seliga, I. Hall, L. Feyock, P. Farren, I.

Meetings are held in which problems of the girls are dis- cussed. Barbara Zupon and Yvonne Capouillez, president and secretary of the council, helped the cafeteria by selling candy during the noonhour. The Boys' Council functioned in '55 for the first time in several years. They instigated the student-controlled pep rallies. With the aid of Mr. Robert Primel, the council has attempted to re-establish the Boys' Federation. The combined councils helped to bring the Four-Way Test to the school. yum' gummy t SEATED: R.

A. is sponsored by Mrs. Ardath Nelson, girls' phys- ical education instructor. Mem- bership was limited this year to senior and junior girls be- cause of the large turn-out of candidates. S During the year we played S basketball and volleyball at the school. We also enjoyed swim- ming parties at the Hollidays- 3 3 burg HX and bowling at the Cresson Moose. 1955 was climaxed by a spa- ghetti supper in May which was prepared by the girls them- selves. lf .5 Intramural basketball was a favorite among the girls. The class champions were the Sen- ior Flirts, Iunior Dog Patch- ers, Sophomore Scorchers, and Freshman Ridge Run- ners. The result of the elim- ination brought the Flirts out as the school champions.
