It is comprised of seventeen members who are constantly striving to fulfill the wants and needs of the schools. These men give freely of their time to aid in our educational life. Their chief concern is that of bettering our schools for the youth of today and tomorrow. Their efficient and excellent direction has indeed given us prosperity and progression. Under their capable guidance Derry Area Schools have fine teachers, good equipment, and a rewarding and bright future. The numerous works of our Board of Education are too vast to list here. However, we wish to express our sincere gratitude and appreciation to those for- ward-looking citizens who donate time and services to us-the future citizens.

Supervising Principal Elected Supervising Principal of Derry Township in 1952 and appointed to the same position of the Derry Area Joint School System in 1955, the conscientious and energetic Mr. Kurtz has done a fine iob in guiding our school. Although this position places upon him a great responsibility, Mr. Kurtz still finds time for hunting and fishing. Hav- ing once been a gridiron star and a prominent football coach, our supervis- ing principal is interested in our team, and closely follows their progress from season to season. ii E'.'fiiI.7,.'.? 2 i.'Xi'-Milf? Ji? Assistant Supervising Principal Admired and respected by students and faculty is Mr. Landis. Being gradu- ated from Washington and Jefferson Col- lege, and the University of Pittsburgh, he was elected to Derry Borough High fac- ulty in 1932, Principal in 1938, and Su- pervising Principal of Derry Schools in 1948. When the Derry Schools were ioined in 1955, Mr. Landis became Assist- ant Supervising Principal of Derry Area Joint Schools. The old adage says, Men must be taught as if you taught them naught. Mr. Landis has this knack of teaching. 11 .-his PRINGIPALS Tice leadem of our facaltq and Atudenu Mr. Kurtz and Mr S p d d p bl MR AUGUSTINE EDMUNDS A t 1 P p I MR M H STUMP P p I Mr. Kurtz dictates to Miss Allman.

Club A , composed of the junior and senior members, was wisely governed by President, Alice Gelston, Vice president, Caryl Geary, Sec- retary, Louise Opatka, and Treasurer, Tom Bar- berich. The second group called Club B in- cluded the sophomore and freshman members. They chose for their officers President, Deanna Plato, Vice president, Jane Schilling, Secretary, Brenda Kerr, and Treasurer, Paula Naylon. The A group, headed by Mr. Pilato, and the B group, under Mr. Baron, held separate meetings but otherwise acted as a single club. In the fall the members journeyed to Pitts- burgh where they viewed a sky show and an exhibit of prcjects of historical value. Spring found the historians off again on another jour- ney to local points of historical interest. Of course, the big event of the year fcr His- tory Club members is their long trip which was taken over a weekend at the climax of the school year. A lot of time and planning by the com- mittee members, officers, and advisors goes into the preparation of these tours, but the results are certainly worthwhile. The club engages in many activities in the school calendar by spon- soring dances and parties and also indulges in worthwhile projects to better our school. This past year the History Club again began the print- ing of ci school newspaper after a lapse of a year. Called the Der Tow, the publication proved to be popular with our students in addi- tion to giving the staff valuable experience. The History Club members are constantly striving to keep their groups among the leaders in extra curricular activities at Derry Area Joint A High School. 14 pro :table way to A end lewure lwum HISTORY CLUB Row 'I-R.

Banquets are the cIub's favorite pastime, and the members fully enjoy these outings. Initiation time brings exciting events. The new members must come to school attired in costumes cf ancient Rome. This often proves to be a trying task. Some of the Latin projects that adorn our library tables every year are very unique. All cf these activi- ties attribute to the delight of these Julius Caesar fans. Due to their enjoyable activities, the Latin Club is tops. Monogram Club Purchasing jackets for the senior members of the athletic group is the main objective of this club. Those who have merited two letters in football, basketball, or track qualify for mem- bership. Senior cheerleaders are included and are entitled to a jacket also. Funds are raised by holding dances, skating parties, and the an- nual varsity-faculty basketball game. Also,'a small profit is realized from the sale of photo- graphs taken of couples attending the Winter and Spring formals. National Honor Society Obtaining membership to the National Hon- or Society is a goal for which every ambitious high school student, seeking scholastic achieve- ment and recognition, strives. Qualifications considered for membership includes outstanding traits of leadership, scholarship, service, and character. This year, under the capable guid- ance of Mrs. Kist, the society has appointed Robert Stump as president, Lawrence Burd as vice president, Joyce Bundy as secretary, and Shirley Dascenzo as treasurer. An annual pro- ject of the society arises near Easter vacation when they engage in selling candy. New mem- bers are initiated during their annual solemn ceremony which takes place in the spring. Richard Falenski, Gwen Howard, John Gelsdorf Barbara Frenchik, Jud Gozdick, James Latimer Y Joanne Hudak, Mary Ann Phillippi, Antoinette Antolik CLUBS Math Club The purpose of the Math Club, under the able direction cf Miss Love, is to train the math loving students of our school not only to under- stand math, but to think logically about the prob- lems of life. The students chose as their officers, John Gelsdorf as president, Richard Falenski as vice-president, and Gwen Howard as secretary- treasurer. Though a relatively new club, they have become very active in the past year. Dur- ing several monthly meetings guest lecturers spoke on mathematics in industry. The club is well known for its interesting and varied pro- grams. They have high hopes for more activities in the future. Music Club The Music Club, under the guidance of Mrs. Markle and Mr. Calvo, provides membership to all students active in any musical organization. This year James Latimer was elected as Presi- dent, Joan Yanossy as Vice-President, and Bar- bara Frenchik as Secretary-Treasurer. This ac- tive club has sponsored the annual operetta, the Christmas program, the Spring Band and Choral Concerts, and the memorable tour of New York City in the spring. The main feature of the tour was viewing of the fabulous production, Okla- homo. The club attended the annual Swing Out at Indiana State Teachers College. Ushers Club We have a seat in the third row center, sir. lf you have attended any of our plays, operettas, concerts, or other assemblies, you prob- ably have recognized the accommodation girl -dressed in a blue jumper, a crisp white blouse, and a tiny hat-as one of our Ushers Club mem- bers. Mrs. Kist serves as their able advisor. An- toinette Antolik leads as president, Joanne Hu- dak as vice-president, and Mary Ann Phillipi, as secretary-treasurer.

Learning to do, doing to learn, learning to live, living to serve is the motto of the Future Farmers of America. The F. F. A. is a national organization for farm boys studying Vocational Agriculture in high school. Each year the F. F. A. holds o father and son banquet. Along with many other activities, they have F. F. A. iudging contests where the members show their ability in iudging livestock, crops, and soil. In December of 1955, the F. F. A. performed a thirty minute demonstration on television station WQED on the breeding, feeding, and management of dairy cattle. Each month a meeting is held and run according to parliamentary procedure. Tri-Hi-Y This worthy organization, under the able supervision of Miss Kasperik, consists of 73 mem- bers-sophomore, iunior, and senior girls-who have more than shown their usefulness to their school, church, and home. Their major proiect was the purchasing of soap dispensers which have been desired facilities of the past. Besides actively sponsoring dances, Christmas found these girls of Christian-like character busy mak- ing scrap books and favors which would be filled with candy for district hospitals. They proudly claim Eileen Marcinik as president, Gloria Somple as vice-president, Donna Williams as secretary, and Joyce Levrio as treasurer. This charitable club makes contributions to many needy organi- zations. They can certainly be assured that they have upheld to the best of their ability their es- teemed motto, which is, to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and commun- ity high standards of Christian Character.

Under the careful guidance cf Mr. Struble, the Council has functioned in many important aspects. ln the past year they have purchased a camera for the better- ment cf the school. The president, Tom Pavlik, and vice-president, Ann Schilling, aided the council in deliberating on all problems. Secretaries, Ann Adams and Evelyn Barnhart, represented the school at the Student Council convention earlier in the year. Other senicr members include, Eileen Marcinik, Nancy Hoyle, Alice Gels- ton, Ted Marron, and Joe Roman. The an- nual semi-formal dance, Sno-Ball was sponsored by the Student Council. They also were responsible for the sale of candy at noon, the new milk machine, dances, and the lost and found case. Needless to say, they have functioned properly.

The honor award was made at a special assembly by the national executive sec- retary ofthe National Forensic League. A second program presented to the student body under Forensic club sponsorship was an exhibition de- bate between Pitt and Princeton. Our chapter also played host for three district speech tourna- ments, a student congress, and a debate tourney. Among the seniors our inimitable Willy Pukmel continued winning first places in humor, Alice Gelston, Gwen Howard, and Jerry Bechak emoted dramatically-and successfully, and Tony Sobota captained the debaters. Under the direction of Miss Smith, club sponsor and speech coach, and Miss Stathis, debate coach, stars in speaking shone in all four classes. It was a heavenly season!

Due to the newly organized Derry Area Joint High School system, the band performed double duties this year-serving both Derry A and Derry B on the gridiron as well as in all student activities. Dur ing the fall, it is composed of approximately ninety members, eighteen of which are major ettes. During this time they are very busy par ticipating in parades, and expertly entertaining the fans with their precision drills and fine music S l l Eighth period band practice keeps our musicians busy. .lim Prohaska selects the proper hat for his I o a 1, film ter u mUAlCldhJ Throughout the year there have been seven- ty programs at which music was furnished by this organization.

Who can forget the unequalled per- formances of Barb Kindl and Jim Prohaska in Mother ls A Freshman , the junior class play? Bob Vella as Dean Gillingham and Margie Alfelda as Sue Abbott can also be commended for their fine portrayals. The long-to-be-remembered presentation was the result of Miss Stathis' untiring efforts and superb coaching. The Christmas spirit was manifested in the program presented by Mrs. Markle, Miss Smith, and the music students. The program, entitled Christmas Party, was an exhibition of satirical skits illustrating Christmas. RIO RICO, chosen as operetta for 1956, entailed much singing, dancing, and laugh- ter by the school songsters, and starred Harry Switzer, Dolores Gipson, Jerry Be- chak, Roger McChesney, and Barb Kindl in the leading roles. Under the direction of Miss Kasperik, the senior class play was an outstanding success. Bob Mumau, Kathi Bisi, Gloria Sample and Harry Swit- zer rehearse their lines. 70 0 A show-stopping scene from Mother ls A Freshman.

The Contimen passed their first Class A test and showed a lot of promise. Their experience and determination paid oft. The following week, Derry A invaded the Latrobe Wildcats in the big rival game. The Eagles were really up for this one and for the third straight year, they came home victorious by a score of 19-O. FO0TBllLL Mr. Pilate, Mr. Conti, and Mr, Weber view their boys in action. The Eagles next traveled to St. Vincent Prep. The Derry eleven were at their best and came through with an easy 40-12 win. The Eagle gridders next encountered the Blairsville Bobcats at the Blairsville Stadium. The Contimen fell behind early in the game, but came back strong to grind out a T4-6 win over a very good Blairsville team.

V Power and per ection on our gridiron On a completely muddy field and with rain pouring down throughout the game, the Eagles lost their first contest of the sea- son to the Vandy eleven, by a score of 7-O. Again the Eagles were on the road and again they played on a mud-soaked field. The Conti eleven iust didn't have it that night and they bowed to Mount Pleas- ant Ramsey by 24-13. This second defeat eliminated them from WPIAL Class A con- tention. Derry A next played host to Hurst High School and for the third consecutive week the Eagles were defeated by a sur- prising Hurricane eleven, 20-7. Again the Eagles were at home on ex-gridders night and they put on quite a show for the old timers, overpowering Georges Township in an easy 44-7 win.

The Eagles were outclassed and outplayed by the Clark High gridders and came out on the short end of a 35-'I9 score. For the last game of the season, the Eagles traveled to meet an undefeated Braddock team, who were gunning for the Class A title. Only Derry A stood in their path. The Eagles fought hard, but a strong second half won out for Brad- dock by a 26-13 margin. The 1955 Derry A Golden Eagles, spurred on by spirit and determination of the boys, and the confidence and patience of the coaches, tin- ished the season with a split-five victories, and five defeats.

The Derry A cagers started off by copping 6 of the 9 exhibition tilts, defeating Laura Lamar twice, St. Vincent Prep, I.C. Connellsville, Blairsville, and the alumni. The Eagles, members of Section TOA of the WPIAL, got better as they went along. Having an exceptionally small squad, Coach Lou Festa was amazed by the play of his team. The Eagles won their first 10 Section games, and went on to capture the Section title, winning ll and losing only l, that to Ramsay. In winning the title, the Festa five defeated Ramsay, and Hurst, Scottdale, Dunbar, Ligonier, and Rostraver each twice. This was the first Section title for the Golden Eagles in Class A competition. The high flying Derry A quintet moved on to the Pitt Field House to compete for WPIAL honors, but the Eagles were complete- ly cutclassed and bewildered by a stronger and much taller Farrell five, 88-44. The members of this year's squad claimed by graduation are regulars, Joe Smith, Tom Pav- lik, Walter Corey, Gene Cech, Wilbur Watkins, and subs, Pete Angeline and Charles Kessler. The only returning regular is Dick Falenski. 78 An attentive crowd watches our varsity five Walter Corey lumps high for the rebound.

The boys, under the capable directicn cf head coach, Mr. Conti, and his assistant, Mr. Baran, spent the first few weeks rounding the track and getting ready for a rough nine-week schedule which included such stiff competition as lndiana, Greensburg, the W.P.l.A.L. Relay, Pitt iunior, and the Westmoreland County meets. With standouts Al Taylor and Phil Lep- ley as ci nucleus for the mile relay, Joe Yu- man, a swift dash man, and John Gelsdorf, hurdler par excellence, the cinder situation was well in hand. The field corps bolstered by pole vaulter Joe Smith, and iavelin throwers Walt Corey and Larry Burd cast a glow on the scene.

The club members are girls of the Sophomore, Junior, and Senior classes. The girls participate in basketball, vol- leyball, soccer, and softball tournaments, along with the annual swimming party. A sock hop, skating party, and square dance helped to raise funds, which were used to improve the girls' lccker room. The club brought the term to an end with its annual picnic at Keystone Park. 83 Carolyn Markiewicz, Nancy Hoyle, Margaret Ament 'T' 3 ff' If-sg 111 X 'f f ff!!
