Jerry, penn5gAfania Oflllal' The time has come for the graduating class of Derry Borough High School to bid farewell to the faculty and to our fellow students. We, the Senior Class of 1952, publish the Derrian, a presentation of drama in Derry Borough High School, as the remembrance of those leaving and as a record for those to come. The success of our yearbook is due largely to the splendid co- operation of the faculty and of the student body. The staff wishes to thank Miss Custer and Miss Robinson, the advisers, for their aid and interest.

There he sits behind the desk in the office. Who? Why our competent principal, Mr. Landis. How could you mistake his encouraging smile and pleas- ing personality. He is more than a friend to all of us. He is our leader and adviser. Whatever prob- lems you bring to him, you may be sure of a help- ful answer. His sense of humor, disciplinary ac- tions, guiding philosophy and good nature are of great assistance to the entire student body. And it can truly be said he is our Guiding Light through thick or thin, Z?oarcl of lirecforfi Left to Right: E. Tarr, F. Sylvester, C. Allshouse, E. Hendrickson, J. Caldwell, W. Landis. A most important factor in our school administration is the Board of Education. It is composed of five townsmen in whose hands many of the major problems of the school rest. This group of men, cooperating with the supervising principal, is extremely important for the function of our school. Always planning new methods of improving our school, this Board of Directors works diligently preparing the budget, purchasing the school sup- plies, regulating tuitions and electing teachers. These are only a few of the duties that confront them. . An up-to-date organization, our Board has loyally and honestly devoted its time to the cause of advancing the school that is theirs and ours. In view of their fine work as administrators of our school We wish to ex- press our gratitude to all members concerned. President Ferd C. Sylvester Vice-President Curtis C.

Four years ago we entered the threshold of our great Alma Mater as young greenies ready to start a new life. We chose our class officers who were very capable. We have sweet memories of our class party and record dances. Much athletic ability proved suc- cessful and we were well represented. We climbed up another notch to the gay, young sophomores. This year was not as exciting but we participated in both football and basket ball. At last! Upperclassmen! We finally made our big step. This year was our biggest with our play. Next were our class rings shining so bright and last but most important, the Junior Prom. This prom was a great success. Finally we hit the top notch as grand, old seniors. Could it really be true that we're seniors? Yes, we are seniors but sorry to say that we are leaving our grand D.B.H.S. We had a lot of fun putting on our Christmas program, getting our portraits, name cards, and of course, the prom. Personalities were selected finding the class well represented. As everything must come to an end we marched up on the stage to receive our di- plomas at Commencement. We hope these four years have prepared us for our future life as we bid farewell to our Great Alma Mater.

To start our Junior year off on the right foot, we decided to elect our student coun- cil members at the end of our Sophomore year. Those chosen were: Shirley Leone, Mar- jorie Vitale, and Glenn Waite. The first thing we did when we came back as Juniors was to elect our class officers for the year. They were: president, Stanley Burikg vice- president, David Robinson, secretary, Sam Mastrorocco, and treasurer, Ruby King. Our librarians this year were Alice Bollinger and Kathleen Fulcomer. They really did a good job. Also new this year were our class rings. At last we received the symbol of our upper- classmanship. We found out this year that we have several musical members in our little group. Ruby King, Dwight Campbell, and James Mowry were chosen from our room to repre- sent Derry at County Chorus held at Derry Township. Also from our room is the pianist for our Girls' Chorus - Marjorie Vitale. Along with all our work we participated in the Journalism Club, Dramatic Club, Girls' and Boys' Chorus, G.A.A., trips, parties, sports, and lots of other activities. By other activities we mean the Class Play, which was a huge success. Everyone in our class had some connection with the play, which was entiled, One Too Many. Another activity was the big event of the year. Of course, it was the Prom. The theme was, Oriental Dream and the orchestra was Jimmy Brunelli. We worked hard to raise money for the prom by selling Christmas cards. After all is said and done, we had some great sports stars come out of our little group of thirty-two. There was Gib Gray, basket ball and footballg Stan Burik, basket ball and' footballg David Robinson, good in both fields, and Glenn Waite, outstanding in foot- ball. All of these are our greater stars of next year. We wish them lots of luck. I know we are all eager for next year to come when we will be on our last round-up. SOPLOMOPQ5 Lf- sv .3 First Row: P.

' As freshmen in this new and exciting place called Iligh School, which we all looked up to when we were in the lower grades. We knew that it was everything we thought of. As freshies we took part in all activities that our Alma Mater could offer. Now when the summer rolled past we found ourselves proudly sitting in the Sopho- more Class. The first thing that we did was to elect officers, our president was Anna garrong vice-president, Bill Dillong secretary, Jorge Rhodes and treasurer, Phyllis Mc- lune. As for our activities in the Sophomore class, we had a large number out for both sports of football and basket ball and some were honored by getting into the Lettermen's Club. As for the dances, parties, football and basket ball games and other activities, I think the Sophomore Class has proven that they can help make their activities a great success. T fed Inen L.-1...

In a general state of bewilderment and confusion, the verdant freshmen entered our high school to start their first performance. Under the direction of Miss Carter and Miss Robinson the class elected their officers for the coming year. Filling the position of president was Richard Hendersong vice- president, Donna Kissingerg secretary, Richard Sweeney: treasurer, Lillian Pattig and historian, Robert Bucci. Our Student Council representatives were Joseph Greubel and John Klym. Our first project was electing a freshman cheerleader. From many candidates, Linda Walkinshaw was chosen. We Freshies took part in most ofthe school clubs that were new to us. We were well represented in the Girls' and Boys' Chorus and the majority joined the Civics Club. We tried to attend all the dances, basket ball and football games and other activities connected with school. We hope to have just as much fun in the next three years as we have had our first year. .xdalclecl .Af fraclionb 53 Q IQ r io X - T ' xl 2 ggi 5 '29 JF- 3 .P arf' -i- errian Siu!! This year as in other years, it was the work of the Senior class to publish the yearbook. Know- ing this would be a tough job the class went ahead. Slowly but surely the Derrian began to take form. Pictures were taken, ads were collected and write-ups were handed out. It really made you dizzy just to think of the magnanimous task ahead. But the staff faithfully kept its nose to the grind- stone. And what of our faculty advisers, Miss Custer and Miss Robinson? Without their tremendous as- sistance, this book would never have been pub- lished. They faithfully kept at the job and spent much of their time and effort willingly putting it together. But this is your book. As you look through it, you will no doubt be reminded of many mem- ories. Some happy, some not so happy-many you will share, many you will not share, but all near and dear to your heart. We hope you will be as proud of this book as we are. We worked hard but it was well worth the task. First Row: P. Betts, P. Kleitz A. Clark, D. Maguire, M Ramsey, L. Bozelli, C. Rhodes B. Allison, P. Mortimore, K DeMalta, M. Haase, M. Mc- Wherter, M.

Along with Dick Platt, our able editor, and many typists, these two nursed the production lines along so that we received a Rambler at regular intervals. In days when the Rambler came out, everyone clamored back to their home room, after the final bell, to read such inter- esting items as - The Inquiring Reporter, the latest school news, reports on basket ball or football games, thought en- couraging editorials, or even the latest love affairs. Of course, we must not forget all the writers of these many, many articles either! Congratulations to all for a fine job on the Rambler this year. 1 L , -L , . M., , .... . . . .. .. . t..,., . .

The Rambler Staff, super- vised by Miss Custer and Miss Robinson, did a commendable job in issuing the school paper as part of the curriculum of the Journalism Club. The members of the club col- lected all the available news and wrote it up in an interesting way. The Journalism Club chose the following staff to publish the Rambler. Dick Platt had the important' position of Editor-in-Chief, David Robinson was chosen as his assist- ant. Arlene Clark was Social Editorg Phyllis Betts, Assistant Social Editor. The job of gathering the sports news went to Sports Editors, Donald Ryan and Stanley Akins. Their Assistants were Stanly Burik and Gilbert Gray. Feature Editor was Shirley Leoneg Ex- change Editor, Alice Bollingerg Inquiring Reporter, Jean Laurenziog Art Editor, Ralph Sylvesterg his Assistant Glenn Plummer, Qu'est-ce que c'est, Kathleen Fulcomer. All these people banded together and made the Rambler something to look forward to and enjoy.

They have the responsibility of sponsoring assemblies, dances, movies, and selling refresh- ments at the football and basket ball games. At the beginning of the year council members elected officers to guide them during the term and under their sponsor, Mr. Landis, the Student Council has proved to be ' ' ' ident Thomas Dillon, vice-president, 'Mary Ann worthwhile. Those servlng were pres , Doraziog secretary, Shirley Leone, treasurer, Glen Waiteg librarian, Marigrace Hensler. The funds from the year's activities were used to purchase equipment for the office, auditorium and gymnasium. Three members of the Student Council attended the State Student Government Con- ference at Kittanning on October 18, 19, and 20. Ideas and views on Student Govern- ment were given by students from various schools. These ideas will be used to make ours a happy, orderly, and more progressive school. i .Airsfory President .. . , Donald Ryan Vice-President , , .

In 1942, the Club was organized and the following year became a member of the Federation of Junior Historians. The William Penn History Club, besides being educational, is the one club in which you are sure to have fun along with business. During this year we have had very interest- ing trips and meetings. We were honored this year by holding the annual Convention in our high school. All in all the History Club is one of the finest clubs organized and shall long be re- membered by all of its present and past members.

But all in all there are some things we would rather forget, such as tests and nightwork for Civics. The club consisted of freshmen members only, and has an enrollment of thirty-five students. No time was wasted and we began immediately the election of officers. 'Who said, this isn't a man's world ? The officers of our club are as follows: president, Ronald Mc- Kinneyg vice-president, Richard Rhodesg secretary, John Klym and treasurer, Samuel Avampato. During the school term we enjoyed two parties, with the committees doing a wonder- ful job at both. We spent the evenings dancing, playing games, and, of course, eating. Also during the year we held contests, one on Christmas Poems and Essays, and the other, Posters of Citizenship. The winners were Ralph Luster and William While. We also enjoyed wonderful and interesting trips to the Westinghouse and to a Council Meeting. The members will never forget the things they learned and the fun they have had in this organization. We also hope that the oncoming freshmen will benefit as much from the club as this year's members have. . -M-A We .W ....::i...',.': ....' it . .W ' ' - 1 --L .

Singing for the Christmas Assembly brought many thrills to- the members as well as those who heard the beautiful music. The Chorus, under the capable direction of Mrs. Eleanor Pryce, worked hard each week to achieve per- fection. Strains of music were heard throughout the halls every Monday evening after school. The Sextette, a group of girls chosen from the Chorus, almost helped in making the pmt year a more enjoyable one. They sang at assemblies and many community pro- grams. The Chorus and its director deserves much praise for the wonderful job they have done in the past year. Q i -sf Q Ogff CAOFMJ First Row: W. While, IJ. Campbull, D Platt, li, Hensler, l'. Rupert, W.

The officers were elected at the first meeting held at the home of the Club's sponsor, Mrs. Kelvey, in October. Eugene McKelvey was chosen presidentg Stanley Burik, vice-presidentg secretary, Mary Ramsey, and treasurer, Connie Rhodes. The first play, A Modern Thanksgiving, contrasted the way our forefathers cele- brated the day, and the way modern civilization has transgressed from the original idea of a Thanksgiving celebration. In February we presented Lincoln The Man which related many interesting and unusual details of our Emancipatofs life. A high light of the year was our trip to Pittsburgh where we enjoyed seeing The Student Prince. We were thrilled with Cathie and her Prince, and disappointed that their love affair did not materialize. Nevertheless we were inspired and in our hearts we yearned to become professional.

Their duties are to deliver the mail, make special announcements, run errands, type absence slips, and aid Mr. Landis in any way they can. These girls give up their study halls in school to do this work. They were chosen for their honesty, dependability, manners, appearances and quietness. This is good training for the girls in their work for the future. They learn how to meet people, fol- low orders correctly, and many incidental things. Truly, the office force is an indispensable net- work in the high schools of today. Sfage fell! Iland me that hammer. ls this picture hanging straight '? Where does this furniture belong?

Under the guidance of their sponsor, Miss Robin- son, the girls have done quite a lot during the past year. First of all was the joyful Christmas Party that went off with a big bang-not mentioning the fun that was had while swimming at the Greensburg Y.M.C.A. With great enthusiasm for sports and activities the basket ball and volley ball tournaments were played. Not only did the tournaments prove to be fun, but also gave an opportunity for the teams to show their best. Congratulations, Miss Robinson, for such a successful and joyful year. Left to Right: M.

With a Senior dominated squad and the return of eight lettermen, the Derry Rams, coached by Mr. Bucci, compiled an honorable record of seven victories, one tie, and a single defeat. Derry's opener was a toughie but the Rams defeated Penn Twp. by the margin of 12-7. Tom Dillon and Don Ryan chalked up the victor's score by each hitting paydirt for a touchdown. The following game found the Rams up against Bell Twp., one of the finest Class B teams in the W.P.I.A.L. Derry absorbed its worst and only defeat by a 31-0 count and thus were eliminated from the W.P.I.A.L. race. Traveling to Homer City the Rams once again found the going rough. Coming back in the second half to score their only marker by fullback Ryan, the Rams had to be satis- fied with a 6-6 deadlock. Playing host to Armaugh the Rams came out on top while holding the visitors scoreless 25-0. Ryan scored all the winning points. Again playing at home the Rams eked out a 13-12 victory over a strong Elders Ridge eleven. Again Don Ryan did the scoring for Derry by chalking up two touch- downs and the winning extra point. Derry kept on the winning trail by downing Trafford and West Newton by a 13-7 score in each game. The lose fearing Rams journeyed to Ligonier where they downed their arch- rivals in a rough batle 16-13 to end the gridiron season of 1951. This was also the final game for the following seniors: Louis Bozelli, Richard Platt, Charles Nicholson, Ernest Serena, Bernard and Kenneth Hensler, Thomas Dillon, Donald Ryan, Richard Sindorf, Teddy Bucci, and Stanley Akins. . rx t ua .

Getting off to a bad start by dropping a close 41-36 to North Huntingdon, the Rams came along to finish with a good all-told record of 18 wins and 5 losses. Derry was once again in Section 15-B. The Rams finished with a league record of 10-2, trailing only Irwin in the final standings. This year's Rambler team was undoubt- edly the highest scoring machine in the history of the school. Paced by James Taubler and Donald Ryan, who were selected to the all-section first team, with Ryan also mak- ing the all-county first team, the Rams maintained an average of 61 points per contest. Next year the Rams will be without the services of James Taubler, a three year letterman, and captain Donald Ryan, who has scored a total of 843 points in three year of varsity competition. Also lost through graduation this year arc brothers Kenneth and Bernard Hensler, Stanley Atkins, Teddy Bucci, and Richard Sindorf, VARSITY RECORD Derry Name Opp. 36 N.
