We overcame our shyness, and presented the student body with a fine as- sembly. As sophomores, we were well represented both socially and scholastically. We held a sopho- more party, at which time the members of our class became well acquainted with each other. Our junior year is a memorable one. We were recognized by the faculty and students as a hard- working group, interested in school improvement. To climax a wonderful year, we played host to the seniors at our Devil's Dream prom. At last we reached the top rung on the ladder of education-our senior year. Now we were the leaders of the school, those who set the examples for our underclassmen. The excitement of this fun- filled year began when we had our senior pictures taken. It wasn't long until we ordered our name cards and invitations. Our class play was an ex- ample of the versatility and ability of our class. Caps and gowns were ordered and Class Day re- hearsals began. Before we realized it, we had received our diplomas and the four best years of our lives were behind us. Now as we go out into the world, we realize the value of our complete, well-rounded education. . beautifying Brisky . a noontime stroll . . watching the mercury rise Yrvadcaw tA over 51177 . . . 23 THE 1955 SENI .

This organization, sponsored by Mr. Caputo, is extremely active. Their initiation is sparked by gay French peasant costumes which are worn by the initiates. The French ll members then show their hospitality by holding the annual spaghetti dinner for the French I students. To stimulate an in- terest in French beyond the four walls of the class- room, the members, at their monthly meetings, lay plans for their annual trip to Seton Hill College for French Week, and for various student projects. HISTORY CLUB Foreword ever, backward never is the motto of the Benjamin Franklin Chapter of the Pennsylvania Federation of Junior Historians. It is composed of sophomores, iuniors, and seniors who are currently studying some phase of history. Piloted by Mr. Pilato, the club this year presented a fine display of creative projects in the library. A special assembly in honor of Abraham Lincoln was presented by the organization in February. Don Fal- enski did a superb iob in his portrayal of Lincoln. The club made a visit to Pittsburgh at the beginning of the term. There they toured such educational sites as the Phipps Conservatory, Carnegie Museum, and the Greater Pittsburgh Airport. Serving as president for the second consecutive year was Mary Lou Campbell. Proving his qualities of leadership was Ed Schrum who was: elected vice- president. Efficient and dependable Germaine Ko- tera was secretary-treasurer. The largest undertaking of the club each year is their weekend field trip. Looking forward to it, the members work hard and plan a full sight-seeing schedule. This enlightening experience broadens the background of these historians. This was truly an eventful year. 53 Don Falenski, Gary Brubaker, Rose Sinemus Oui, Monsieur Caputo Mary Lou Campbell, Ed Schrum, Germaine Kofera J Richard Geary, Ed Schrum, Michele Yacobush, Mary Lou Sonafelt Dave Vallana, Joanne Saba, Regis Skoloda Carol Andre, Jack Kepple, Calvert Smith Providing 1-elaxatroi NATIUNI-lL HONOR SUCIETY As in the past, this organization at Derry Town- ship continues to remain the goal of those ambitious students seeking scholastic achievement and recogni- tion. Members this year totaled seven. Under the capable supervision of Mrs. Kist, the society proved its integrity with Richard Geary serving as president, Mary Lou Sonafelt as vice president, Michele Yaco- bush as secretary, and Ed Schrum as treasurer. To be eligible for membership, one must qualify in scholar- ship, leadership, service, and character. Each spring an impressive initiation ceremony is presented before the entire student body in the auditorium. MUNUGRAM CLUB Chaperoned by Mr. Conti, the Monogram Club is re-organized each year to honor and pay tribute to the lettermen in football, basketball and track. All senior cheerleaders become members. Each sports- man has a goal-to earn two letters which will earn him membership to the Club. The lettermen work hard to raise funds for iackets which are purchased for all senior members, including the cheerleaders. We are truly proud of these outstanding athletes. LATIN CLUB Complete with togas and tiaras, thirty young Romans proudly became members of the Latin Club this year in genuine Nero style. Composed of Latin I and ll students, this organization, sponsored by Mr. Caputo, presented a fine display of Roman paintings, sandals, shields and catapults in November, bringing out the creative touch of these language students. And after Thanksgiving the club enioyed its annual banquet and party. At their monthly meetings a re- search proiect is assigned each member which he must prepare and present during a class period. 54 x ,.

Attired in blue jumpers, white blouses, and blue and gold pillbox hats, these ushers serve our school at plays, concerts, operettas, and various functions held in the auditor- ium. Under the capable direction of Mrs. Kist, the girls plan parties, hold dances, and work at other so- cial activities. The profit made at these activities is donated to buy some article for the school. These girls certainly deserve our praise.

At the end of last year, the boys purchased a new panel truck which is used on their many field trips. Members this year enioyed the trip to Harrisburg for the state farm show. The club, supervised by Mr. Campbell, concluded its active year with the annual square dance in March and father and son banquet in April. MATH CLUB In its initial year at Derry Township, the Math Club has attracted a great number of students. Under the guidance of Miss Love, the club applies the mathe- matical knowledge gained in the classroom to con- tests, practical puzzles and games. Membership is open to any student who is currently enrolled in a math class. An outstanding feature this year was the participation of members in the problem-solving contests emitted by the University of Oklahoma, hon- ors this year going to Harry Switzer and Richard Fa- tora for participating in the University tests. The club was enlightened on the subjects of Gambling and lmportance of Mathematics in lndustry by two guest speakers. To explore the wonders of mathe- matics, members iourneyed to the Buhl Planetarium in Pittsburgh, and during the course of the year en- ioyed moth for recreation in the way of games, riddles, and puzzles. Election-wise, the club chose John Gelsdorf as president, with Agnes Burd as vice-president and Rita Bigi as secretary. Terminating the school year, awards were pre- sented to those students securing TOO points during the year's activities. 58 ...CLUBS F. F. A. Row l-F. Kubislek, E. Carpenter, R. Ankney, P.

Sko- loda 59 i IIRGIINIZI-ITIONS Three hard-working and unsung groups at Derry Township are the Librarians, the Stage Crew, and the Proiectionists. Each is doing a tremendous behind-the-scenes job, namely, or- dering and cataloging books in the library, cre- ating sets for operettas and plays, and operat- ing the film proiectors for classroom instructions. Recognition of the groups as fine organizations, directed by Mr. Pilato and Mr. Campbell is justly deserved. Secretaries par excellence comprise our group of seventy junior and senior commercial students, Perfection in office and clerical work is a goal for which they are striving. To help finance expenses, the club held dances, and bake sales. The crazy hat initiation this year will long be remembered. Under the leader- ship of Miss Hallam, the senior commercialites enioyed a field trip to New York which con- cluded their activities for the year. ' T 4 iff' A. 5 .

Members are chosen during the first month of school and are initiated at a formal ceremony before the student body. They have among their duties, operat- ing a refreshment stand in the back hall at lunch time, supervising the lost and found department, holding noontime dances, and sponsoring several special dances during the year. They also supervise dismissals, and during classes, two members patrol the halls. One of the large proiects undertaken this year was the task of printing a hand- book for the school. A special event this year was the semi-formal dance held in February, co-sponsored by the Student Council and the Forensics Club. .

There's also the satisfaction of getting a 'lst or 2nd, and the sound of applause, as well as the pleasure of going new places and meeting new people. Competing with twelve other Western Pennsyl- vania schools, the boys and girls traveled to Pittsburgh, Donora, and Monessen as well as nearby areas. As a result of their ettorts, twenty-one students were received as new mem- bers, and seven of these earned the additional degree of honor. This year Derry Township was reinstated into the National Forensics League. FORENSICS CLUB plernan, D., Kelly, C., Falat, McClel- land, S., Krinocll, E., Yacobush, M., Petrarca, R.

This year they presented the successful op- eretta, Tune ln. The setting for this musical play was a studio in a radio station. The cast featured Chauncey Watkins, Michele Yacobush, Harry Switzer, Rosemarie Rich, James Boyer, and Joan Shultz. Wednesday morning devotional periods were inspiring with music by the chapel choir, directed by Harry Switzer. Before Christmas vacation the chorus pre- sented their cantata, the highlight being the can- dlelight procession with the mixed chorus par- ticipating. The spring spotlight was on the concert. The chorus, under the direction of Mrs. Markle, sang many lovely selections. Those participat- ing in County Chorus held at Jeannette were Rosemarie Rich, Harry Switzer, Vaughn Piantine, Joan Shultz, Michele Yacobush, James Boyer, and Ellen Kozemchak. District Chorus partici- pants were Vaughn Piantine, Rosemarie Rich, Joan Shultz, and Ellen Kozemchak. A social event greatly anticipated by every- one is the yearly trip to indiana State Teachers College to attend their annual Swing Out. s B3e 'E.M, 64 Mary Fabian, Mrs. Markle, Harry Switzer, James Boyer, Rosemarie Rich Row I--Koway, J., Hodgson, B., Perino, S., Rich, R., Ray, M., Samac, A., Kozemchak, R., Bundy, J., Andrews, D., Yates, V., Yaco- bush, M.

This year we began our season with the excellent iunior class play, Father of the Bride. Complete with wedding cake, Men- delssohn's Wedding March, and programs in the form of wedding invitations, the play, directed by hard-working Miss Stathis, featur- ed our talented iuniors--actors and actresses with poise and good diction. With Gloria Somple as the bride, Jerry Bechak as the groom, and Jim Boyer and Kathy Bisi as the bickering parents of the bride, Father of the Bride deserved the welcome reception it re- ceived in its two-day presentation. Then followed our annual Christmas can- tata, with Mrs. Markle handling the music and Miss Smith the emoting. From Winter Won' derland to the solemn Christmas carols, the choruses were pleasing to the ear. Margaret Alfelda and Sandra Baker provided comedy with their humorous monologues, An innovation this year was the presene tation of a condensed version of Dickens' Christmas Carol , via the PA system, by Miss Smith's forensics group.

Tune ln's lead- ing roles were filled by Chauncey Watkins, Michele Yacobush, Harry Switzer, Rosemarie Rich, Jim Boyer, and Joan Shultz. Then in the spring came the anticipated senior class play. Miss Kasperik, working diligently at casting, coaching, and correcting, presented the student body with our versa- tile seniors doing their last high school class play. What a prolific year!

SEASON lat and a powerful per- ormance The inaugural game of the season on September TO, at Bellmar, was played in a steady downpour and ended in a 7-7 tie. Lacking experience, but showing great fight- ing spirit, Coach Conti's rookies showed that they were ready for vigorous training in the weeks to come. The following week the team traveled to Latrobe to meet our arch rivals, with the Eagles trimming the Wildcats for the second consecutive year. A capacity crowd wit- nessed our 20-4 win. We were then host to the St. Vincent Prep on our own gridiron. The Township eleven easily came through with a 26-7 victory. The high-spirited team, with victory in sight, eagerly awaited our next opponent Blairsville. On October 'I the Eagles ad- vanced to a 12-0 lead during the first two quarters. But a feeling of overconfidence turned our expected victory to a tragic 20-12 defeat. Tasting their first defeat, the injured Eagles fought viciously but bowed to Vander- grift's AA veteran team, 26-0. The following week, Mount Pleasant, still contenders for the WPIAL Class A cham- pionship, was erased by the Eagles with a surprising upset of 7-6. Our team then traveled to Hurst to play the Hurricanes. Something went wrong with the Contimen. They were outplayed by Hurst. As a result, the Eagles were on the short end of the score, 26-7.

Township's basketball representatives iumped into a victorious start this year by de- feating Ligonier, St. Vincent, Blairsville, and Derry Boro, respectively. These first few games of the season found the Eagles looking superb. As the season progressed, luck seemed to be against the boys, but they consistently gave a good account before capacity crowds in the school gym. Lack of substitutes and previous football iniuries to some of the key players played a large role in the close de- feats suffered by the quintet. Coach Festa's five took things in stride and terminated the BASKETBALL Speecidzn Mr. Festa, Mr. Fiorina, Mr. Cignetto season with a record of 12 victories against 10 defeats. As members of Section 2 of WPIAL, the boys closed the season tied for sec- ond place with Rostraver Township, winning 6 and losing 4-but all was not so sad. Lan- ky, six foot four Don Falenski captured the section scoring title by recording a total of 218 points. At the Westmoreland County Basket- ball Tournament our quintet was eliminated by Latrobe, 60-36. This year graduation will claim Regis Skoloda, Don Falenski, George Bisi, and Bill Phillippi. Row 1-T.

COMPETITION Competition and the freedom to compete have made America great. lt is typical of our way of life that we ask no restraint on competition. The greater the challenge placed before us, the greater effort we put forth-both as a nation and as individuals. We at Vanadium-Alloys Steel Company are called upon to com- pete with producers many times our size. We ask only continued freedom to do our best to make and shape steels that will merit the First Quality label which accompanies our brand names. We know if we always give our best we will do all right against competition.

If we are going to continue to be proud that we are Americans there must be no weakening ofthe codes by which we have lived, ' it by your right to go to the church or synagogue or even the mosque of your own choosing, by your right to speak your mind and be protected in it. 'f ' the things that make us proud to be Americans are of the soul and of the spirit. They're not of the jewels we wear or the furs we buy, the houses we live in, the standard of living that we have. All these things are wonderful to the esthetic and to the physical senses. But let us never forget, the deep things that are American are the soul and the spirit. The Statue of Liberty is not tired, and not because it is made of bronze. It's because no matter what happens, here the individual is dignified because he is created in the image of God. Let's not forget it. Dwight D. Eisenhower, November 23, 1953 3 NNAMETAL 9... ...,. . 90 M W 4 fa, , WF! i ' f 7, JM 1 fy ' MMW' ' ff lfsgfaf I My 'jf My f Mg, my W fgffgm ff?
