Donora students have had more than average good fortune in the past quarter of a century. Many have begun this educational trip under the capable, understanding guidance of primary teacher Mae Ostrander Dietz and have completed their secondary schooling while they could share the personal interest and help so willingly given by Eva E. Weddle. ln recognition not only of many years of service but the excellent quality of that service, The 1953 Dragon is respectfully dedicated to Mae Ostrander Dietz, first grade teacher of Castner School whose retirement cre- ates a vacancy which is a challenge to the newcomer-to achieve the fine profes- sional respect accorded Mrs. Dietz will be an accomplishment. AND Eva E. Weddle retiring English teacher in Senior High School who typifies the best in refinement, thoughtfulness and service to others. Her sincerity, persever- ance and concern for each pupil will long be remembered by her alumni and asso- ciates. To Mrs, Dietz and Miss Weddle are extended best wishes for many years of good health, happiness in reminiscence and enjoyment of tl1e leisure hours so richly deserved. 1 '7f-1- '-..

Zin illllrmnriann THOMAS BERNARD MCDUNN, JR. On August 20, 1952 Thomas B. McDunn, Jrfs soul re- turned to God. The son of Tom and Catherine O'Boyle McDunn, Tommy was born on March 22, 1935. He started his school days at St. Charles Parochial School, continued his education at Doxtora junior High School and would have been a senior in the high school. A well-liked clever lad with an Irish wit and an enjoyable vocal talent Tom's memory will long be cherished by his classmates. llrquirarat in Marr! 43 Anchors Away some dictation from Dr. John Law, who hand- les the x-ray machine superbly. Dentist, Mary Ann Schmitt, is conversing with Mary jane Digger Rabe, who is under contract with the S. S. Dragon in case anything should go wrong. Can you hear the discussion from the ship's Board Room? By the sound of Anne Pellicci- one, President of the AI. C. C., this trip must be rather expensive. It seems as though Evelyn Gonzales has just finished her report and Helen Couser, Dolores Gerbasi and Margie Saxon have talked it over and are a little dub- ious over what should be done about it. Nothing can stop Gail Nash and Ev Vojtas from being late for dinner this evening . . . they're pressing their party clothes now! We all seem a bit wilted. Let's stop at the PX for awhile and have some refreshments. Rose Fronzaglio, Rebecca Panos and Ellen Fowler are selling cokes. What's this? Ed Kustron sell- ing homemade custard pies and James Strain, drumming up business for him. Here come a group of boys. Sam Barbour must be through trimming them up. Their haircuts are pretty sharp! ' We are summoned by our guide to continue with the tour, It's getting hot, hot, hotl No. it's no fire, it's just the boiler room. After we stumble our way through stacks of boxes and crates and plow our way through oceans and oceans of paper, we finally arrive at the boiler where jim Coulson, John Mitchell. and james Calzacorto, our strongmen, are shoveling coal into the firebox. Frank Puia and Manuel Yoco- lano seem to be having a little trouble with the valves. Wait! There go Leo DiBiasi and Bern Adamek to the rescue. All is well againl Now on to the stock room. Kenny Marshall and Chuck Barton are supervising the assort- ment of dishes by Don Wilson and Angel Fer- nandez. Oops, there goes a saucer. QIt's flying, toolj Hugh Couser leaps into the air . . . gloves it with one hand to save the day for the crew. We follow the twisting corridors and arrive at the brig. No hurrying necessary. We'll just stroll through. Lookl Who's this? Why, it's Bob Pastor and Emil Matsko! Now what could these two law abiding citizens be dong here, of all places? 0h, there's john Sento and Andy Sento in Cell 2 entertaining stowaways Paul Chanko and George Polonoli with the newest in jitter- bug steps as Lee Coughenour hums an appro- priate tune, Oh Happy Day. We're told that, It's in the Book for din- ner, so we rush off to get on our best bib and tucker for the occasion. We can be sure that -lack just, Art Brown, and Russell White will appear in the latest fashion and probably start a new fad of their own while they're at it. At the dining room door, pretty hostesses Pat Alcott and Marge Malaski greet us and show us to our tables, while busy waitresses- Mary Rose Moschini and Collette Gedeon- serve us with water and give us menus. Flo M itro comes to take our orders and assures us that the main course is food and plenty of it. Emma Wilson, helping us to get our food spread out in a tempting fashion, is nearly knocked over by Herb Allen and Don Comp- ton getting ready to supply the guests with some after-dinner corn. Gloria Kostella, Gloria Tokay, and Irene Wehousie try, with a few interruptions, to continue the show and bring us a few selected favorites of the day. Pat Bartley sits down at the piano . . . a hushed silence falls over the crowd . . . she raises her fingers, ready to play, and . . . Bang! The doors fly open and in comes Edith Kas- pick! just call her the late Miss Kaspickf' Versatile Romeo, Art Hayes, in his inimit- able fashion, gives his rendition of the top hit of the day, jesse Gonzalez following, adds to the flavor of the dinner with some South American Rhythms. The orchestra under the direction of Jay Siren played a fanfare. Then the spotlight focused on featured vocalist Enery Lopez as she sang. Sam Simpson, Cutie Murray and Dave Koskoski did a musical trio. Intruding sounds from hot rods being tuned up by Dune Russell, junior Evans, Dale Cardis and Ronnie Pacy blended with the music. Martin Valko's solo was followed by high step- pers janet Ritchie and Char Robson who in- troduced a very special guest for the evening. The one . . . the only . . . Billy Eckstine of the year, Jerry Burns. After the swooners were dragged off the floor, Jerry favored us with a few songs. Before floor show time, the orches- tra settled down and we got up to dance. Sud- denly we realized that no boys were around and then we saw why. Vinnie Valeri had asked one of the girls to dance and all the boys were standing around admiring his unusual way of dancing. After we had danced awhile, our mascot high stepper, Marlene Amatangelo, announced that it was time for the floor show. Tonight, the great stargazer, Don Iczkowski presented the review Gazing at the Stars with the help of Frank Muziani and the Astronomy Club. Eddie Lario, Bob Bowen and Bob Mona leave their hidden portholes and go down the gangplank as our trip is completed and we reach our port of Graduation. Wave of Education Envelops Juniors J unior il'RllDY SUPP S.-XM PERRY . ,. NIICLYIN REPKX , , . , EDITH RONI.-XNTINO .. As the waves of education lapped against the speeding S. S. Dragon the juniors aboard gathered arotmd the rail to picture in the changing swirling waters the school events of their eleven years. The tttrbtilency of the whirlpool was rem- iniscent of those early jtinior high days with new schedules, activities. teachers-the excite- ment of May Crowning. the Legion Award selection of Carl lfetkenhour and Marianne Krajnik and the promotion exercises which sent them along a few more knots in their educational jottrney. See the huge roller coming in! How like the newness which engulfed the cubs or sopho- mores as they strove to move along through tenth year with whole-hearted enthusiasm over contributing Trudy Supp and Edith Roman- tino as cheerleaders and sponsoring a big noisy class party as part of the social calendar of the school year. As the ship sailed into calmer waters the assured self-possession that was theirs as jun- iors became apparent. lVith several campaign- ing for class offices the juniors had the thrill of indicating their preference by electing Sam Uflicers Treasurer , ,. President .. Vice-President . ,. ,, Secretary Perry, president: Melvin Repka, vice-presi- dent: secretary Edith Romantino and Trudy Supp, treasurer. Under the leadership of these officers junior Tea Dances were sponsored, and the junior-Senior Prom was enjoyed with true class pride as the junior officers led the Grand March. When the winds ruffled the sea in their journey the sound and fury of the exhilarating waves carried back echoes of a boisterous excit- ing evening when homerooms vied with each other in competitive games at the annual Class Party. Breezes blew sounds of l,i'l Abners Qas Bill Isaacs, Chuck Vaira, Carl Fetkenhourj running from their Daisy Maes fI.orraine Duda, Marcine Doyle and Joanne Adamuskoj at the Sadie Hawkins Day Dance and in the splash of the water resounded the applause heaped upon the all junior cast in its first dramatic venture. As the ship drops anchor to discharge sen- iors of the farewell evem of accepting the pick and the lamp as symbols of seniority for the approaching lap of the journey terminate junior day dreaming and emphasizes the prac- ticality of their responsibilities.

Most of the talent aboard was out in full dress for the ship's g-T-la parade of talent, which helped explain why we rate the S. S. Dragon- he Finest Vessel Asea. All the females on board came on the upper deck and enjoyed the wildness of the sea and afterwards gave thanks for being able to do so. This morning the music department on board put on a beautiful program and sent wig-wag si nals to all other ships in sight and to all our s ip's passengers, telling them to have a Christmas that's Ship-Shape. This afternoon there were gala celebrations in all the ahip'a cabins, cele- brating our landing in home port in time for Christmas. With everything intact, the S. S. Dragon again set sail on her long voyage through the year. Already the patter of dancing feet began to entice all the tars to join their patter. The ship's team just climbed aboard after a tiring anne on the S. S. Charleroi. The opponent was too much for them. The Efharleroi team won. That old adage about never giving up the ship's team held good tonight when the ship's team beat that of th-e S. S. Monongahela. For a twist that was unusual in shits entertainment the passengers and crew were entertained with a full length movie How Green Is My Valley. Tonight most of the passengers scampered on board the brand new S. S. Monessen to see the dedication of their fine new gymnasium, which is Qzally one of the finest around. They also saw a good basketball game. e won. Today everyone took off and watched a new president of a great country being inaugurated. Today our fine football team, cheerleaders, and majorettes had dinner with the officers in the Officer's Mess and paid tribute to their great coach. Rare tickets were today vied for and the victor was Mate Richard Elco. All the passengers on board were stirred up for this battle for the title position on the sea. The ship's team came out second best, but we still have faith in them. Here's a looked forward to point on our trip. A group of the passengers fiiom the upper deck put on a performance that was equal to professional p ayers. Two teams trying for second place honors on the sea met tonight and battled it out. The S. S. Monessen won. Now all the linguists on board got together and got each other and the cooks thoroughly baffled ordering their meals in another language. Some of the ship's passengers took to professional dancing as a few of them put on a performance for the rest of the passengers displaying what they had learned. The student governing body tonight put the Ship's mess to good use as a beautiful feast was set before them as a final tribute to their accom- plishments. The girls were at it again tonight but we all expected it this time and were on guard. The entertainment committee went all out again when they brought this highly enjoyable assembly on board. The ship docked this afternoon so that the passengers could be on land with their friends for Easter. Another of those greatly anticipated events where the acting talents of the passengers were brought to light was put on today by the passengers of the middle deck. The strain of voices singing echoed over the ocean today when the Chorus presented a version of H.M.S. Pinafore. One of the last things the passengers of the top deck did togetherg today they got permission to use the Grand Mess Hall and they all sat down and had dinner as they recalled the past trips on all the other boats. This evening before a large audience the top deck's passengers bid fare- well to all their friends on the other decks and on the other ships and wished them all the luck and joys that they had and many more. Parting isn't all sadness and the passengers agreed as they went through the traditional antics of a Class Day skit. After getting a scroll from the ship's officers tears of joy and sadness were shed as we departed from the S. S. Dragon into a land of unknown circumstances known as the land of life.

The review of the current year in The Dra- gon has been the work of the editorial and business staffs-one to prepare the book, the other to successfully finance it. The excellent co-operation and interest between the staffs makes the work of advisors Miss Kelly, finan- cial and Miss Coggin, editorial much more enjoyable, The Dragon was well staffed with Mary Ann Schmitt as the capable and earnest editor, Anne Pelliceione the hard-working business manager, Gail Yates conscientiously seeking subscriptions and Cyril Assad the tal- ented artist working together and supervising the assignments in their editorial and business departments. The annual magazine contest to finance the yearbook brought money to the treasury and prizes to Lorraine Duda as high salesman and to Room l0l as high homeroom. This project gave the financial staff many busy hours. The eighteen editorial staff members had experi- ence in committee work as they planned their articles and worked out their assignments to the chairman's satisfaction. The publication staffs have found pleasure in accepting their responsibilities and grati- fication in re-reading their efforts. oinpetent First Aid Available to ll CL.

Two weekly meetings were planned to concentrate on speech and debate in a formal pattern. As a member of the National Forensic League the Donora Chapter conscientiously worked to realize the aims of the organization: to achieve a more adequate understanding of speech and to further refine the ideas and feelings which the speaker and reader com- municate. Through participation in debate it is hoped the individual would be inspired to gain knowledge in related fields since a de- bater would be induced to study economics and government and study them better be- cause of his training in argumentation. Build- ing better citizens through an interest in gov- ernmental affairs is an important goal of all debate organizations. Donora had three teams representing the school in debate competition. The A team composed of veterans Herbert Allen, Richard Elco affirmative and Don Compton, Emilio Roncace, negative attended most of the tour- naments at the beginning of the season to give junior and sophomore members an oppor- President .......,.,.. Vice-President ..... ,. Secretary .....,.., Treasurer .................. Business Manager ...... tunity to become familiar with techniques and later as B and C teams to gain experi- ence in the field, All debaters were concerned with the selected topic, Resolved: That the Atlantic pact nations should form a federal union. U Speech competition offered six main divi- sions in which a member may participate: ex- temporaneous, humorous, dramatic and ora- torical declamation, original oratory and poetry. An important representation in this department was to the Student Congress meet- ings at one of which Richard Elco was nomin- ated to attend the national finals and was elected as the outstanding speaker of the house. Club members help with the financing of the forensic program by sponsoring conces- sions during the home basketball season. As an extra-curricular activity Speech and Debate justify their part in the school pro- gram by preparing students to express them- selves clearly and conduct themselves as ladies and gentlemen in their argumentative experi- ences.
