These attributes compose the base upon which our lives will be built. Through knowledge we broaden our views and, therefore, increase our under- rr 1-' - F' standing. When our understanding increases, we become more tolerant of the views and beliefs of others. We gain knowledge of our- selves through our understanding and tolerance of others. t. , L. wr Years from now, our life in high school will not come to us in an ordered sequence, but will occur in random flashes originating from a memory of three fun-filled years at DHS. The fun and frolic at the club and class parties, the joyous holidays, and somber vacations fill our store- house of memories. Y fi lug'-. As juniors, and again as seniors, we spent many memorable hours practicing for our class plays. Although we enjoyed getting to- gether for these practices, we did not always enjoy the work involved. Many times it seemed as though the many details of production would never fall into place, and that the night of our play would arrive before we were properly prepared. We were ready, however, and our plays were successful both as far as the audience and the cast were concerned. X ax vu E , Y I I? November 22 The death of our thirty-fifth president, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, was the most dis- heartening event of the school year. It was disbelief, anger, and sadness combined into four agonizing days. This greatly respected man represented the high ideals and aims of our nation. He gave the most that any man could have given to this country-he gave his life. , A CL 4, LQMLQL-1 swf 3fuM.!Q,l ocLAQ,A,QeJALLf,bfLAVu-L .

E fi ' i H-5535: ,X 1 in :si M The Class of 1964 has been led for the past two years byateam of competent officers. In the fall of 1962, our class held its first election of officers. At that time, Thomas Smith was chosen to be president, Michael Matthews, vice-president, Virginia Sala, secretary, and Peggy Stinogle, treasurer. Because of their skillful organization in work for the Junior-Senior Prom, and their successful money-making projects, they were re-elected in conjunction with the Student Council, and halved the Prom responsibilities with the officers of the junior class. Our officers have done well in an assignment which combines dependability, criticism, and honor. 'PI mall if EDWARD E. ABROMOVITZ No man is happy who does not think himself so.

The Class of 1964 finds itself in a very changing world. It is confronted with the space age and a challenge to learn to get along with other people. Education is one of the greatest influences on both America and the world today. We hope that you graduates now have a firm foundation upon which to build your future living. What you learn tomorrow and all of the tomorrows of your life, depends on you. Some of you will go to college, some to the armed forces, others to work or some other ventures. We wish you well and the best success in your immediate future. MARJORIE A. HORAK Secretary fu 41.2 .Seated-Andrew S. Sukel, Andrew A. Barone, Archie F. DiCenzo, Geo. O. Frazier. Standing-Edward R.

Student Teachers Initiate Teaching Career At DHS. At the beginning of each semester, a group of four student teachers arrive at DHS. Their aim is to put into practice for the first time the funda- mentals they have learned at California State College. They are able to study the students and to develop their indi- vidual teaching methods in the class- room. Student teachers represent an interesting and somewhat different part of school life as they are considered members of the faculty yet are students themselves. These future teachers have received a small significant portion of their training here at DHS. Second Semester-Miss Judith DiBuono, Mr John Bogovich, Mr. Wayne Sayre, and Mr Joseph Markulike.

Staff of 1964 Dragon Molding the myriad aspects of life at Donora into a concrete image, which encompasses its variant phases from awkwardness to nobility, has been the goal of the staff of the 1964 Dragon. ln doing this, we have portrayed a portion of ourselves, have infused our spirits into a book which we have tried to unify even though our views were often individual and diverse. We have created a book whose photos and typescript reflect the integration of our loftiest dreams and our perceptions of reality. Though often difficult and time-consuming, the creation of this book has been an integral part of our lives for the past year. Our sincere hope is that it may become a small but also significant part of your lives. ' 'ER 5. xx yf'-6' xx SANDRA L. WARHOLIC LEE P. SYMONS MARILYN H.

Holding the purse strings for our successful yearbook and paper was a capable staff of seniors. Throughout the year they worked diligently trying to raise money for the publi- cations. The first and major fund raising campaign of the school year was the inevitable magazine sales, which were punctuated by a pep assembly to bring out salesmanship in all the students. Also used to win over salesmen were many tempting prizes including the always sought after stuffed dogs, won by selling three Look subscriptions. Another favorite means of gaining the student body's participation was homeroom competition. The end of a year's work came when the students received their anxiously awaited yearbook.

Most people at some time or another have an impulse to write, a desire to I- al communicate something to others. Some also have a desire to improve their writing ability. Anyone with these goals is welcomed as a reporter on the staff of the newspaper, or a contributor of original poems to the anthology. The editorial staff is composed of eager, hopeful reporters, aspiring poets, and many who just plain enjoy writing. Though their styles and procedures may vary, they have several qualities in common: they are interested, they wa.nt to learn, they wish to improve. Because the staff is continually changing, guiding it is a difficult job, but f Mr. Clark and his editors perform this task well. By this means, honor is O justly given the school and the staff. school life. T ml! THOMAS' DREZGA virginia Hanna, editor of Poetry Ant1w1og-yy Barbara Nickle Photographer assistant editor.

The officers and new members were inducted into the club during a solemn ceremony on October 23. To help a deserving graduate planning to enter the teaching field, F.T.A. gives a one hundred dollar scholarship at commencement each year. The fund raising activities for this scholarship included a bake sale on Va1entine's Day, and checking coats at the Senior Dance and Prom.

CORNO Band Director Band Animatcs Spiri 'Q It has been said that music is the medicine of the mind. In this thought what better way is there to round off an education than belonging to the DHS Band? A band is a unit of many working as one. It is a single precision unit comprised of separate individuals. What true band member can ever forget his first half-time show, or his last, or the many fun-filled seasons in between? We shall always remember the thrill of the cadences and the formality of concerts. We have donned our uniforms many times Q during the past years, but each donning was but a prelude to the personal satisfaction derived from a job well done. bi? Senior Band Members: First row-M.

Under the skillful direction of Mrs. Herk, members aid the librarian by placing the books and cards in accurate arrangement. Members also maintain order during study periods and assist students in locating particular data on a variety of topics. The club is useful not only to the faculty and students, but also to the membersg inasmuch as they receive useful training and experience in the func- tioning of a library. Many librarians have received their first spark of interest from membership in a high school library club. Whether for knowledge or experience, members have enjoyed performing duties for the benefit of DHS students. Row 1-A. Bolek, K. Badzik, V, Sala K. Anstandig, B. Castner, K. Martinez holic, R.

Increase Knowledge and Skills of Members. ln addition to sponsoring the Library Club, Mrs. Herk found time to revive the Speech Club. Early in the year she held tryouts and selected 22 members from the senior, junior, and sophomore classes. Although the club was able to meet for only one-half hour every week, the members managed to gain experience in public speaking. Club members introduced all assembly pro- grams. One group participated in a radio discussion with students from He1enW,Herk Karlwapiennik Monongahela and another group pre- Library and Speech Orchestra sented a program on Teenagers in the Modern World for the Community ' Club of Donora. he Mr. Karl Wapiennik taps the baton, raises his arms, and the music begins. This is a familiar scene during orchestra 'evil 'I in practice and prepares the members for activities in public. This activity provides an outlet for the musical talent of our student body. The Twenty-third annual concert was gi presented by the orchestra in early spring. The audience listened to pieces of music that were the result of hours of 1- practicing and perfecting. Our orchestra proved to be very I successful under Mr. Wapiennik's supervision. It was evident that the endeavoring effort of the orchestra and the patience of its director were required to make the orchestra successful. Row 1-Mr. Wapiennik, Mr. Sukel, C. Menendez, E. Palko, C.

These annual functions mean much to each graduating class for they represent one of the significant steps in their lifetime-the momentous step from carefree nonchalance into independent adulthood.

They began the school year by traditionally pre- senting the skit for our first pep rally. The high-steppers enriched half-time intermissions at football games with vivid performances. They marched onto Legion Field with the band under skillful direction by Mr. Guy Corno. The baton twirlers also marched in many commtmity parades. This year the senior majorettes received small, circular necklaces containing a miniature majorette on each. Part of the money from car washes the preceding summer paid for the necklaces.

Richard Seader Tom Woods Kenny Cole The Dragon gridiron story can't be told in a simple array of games won and lost. Two games were lost by a single point margin. Those games could have changed a 4-6 mark to a winning 6-4 record. Canevin beat the Dragons by one point, 32-31, as well as Charleroi, 13-12. Larry Crawford, sophomore fullback, scored 108 points during the season and gained over 1000 yards. He became the leading high scorer in the Big Six Conference. Larry won a first string berth on the Big Six All-Star team as well as honorable mention on the All-State team and ALL WPIAL team. Bill Urbanik, junior tackle, gained a first string berth on the ALL WPIAL team. Seniors Dave Muniz, Mike Matthews, and Joe Greco won honorable mention awards on the Big Six. Coaches James K. Russell, Rudy Anda- baker, and William Pykosh were just two breaths away from a winning season. 1 963 Football Review v I l 1 ' f 1 I Dragons Mike Matthews, Joe Greco, and Dave Muniz received honorable mention from the Big Six.

Feb Feb Feb Feb Feb Feb Dave Muniz tries to slip a two hand pass through a tough zone defense, Basketball Summary 1963-64 At season's end, Coach Ignatius Hokaj found his Dragon basketball team with a 9-12 overall record and 5-9 mark for Section Five play. John Tyree, senior high scoring threat for the Dragons, set a new Donora High School record by looping 417 points through the nets during the season. John topped Davy Russe1l's six year old mark of 403. The Dragons were known as an unpredictable team, and showed up well, particularly in the very hard games. They beat Charleroi twice and dumped Monongahela in the last game after the Wildcats had beaten them at home in a previous contest. Tyree, who gained recognition for setting a school record, also came in second to Uniontown in the Sectional scoring race. The big C6-41 senior was invaluable for the Dragons. Nevertheless, basketball is a team game and it takes a team effort to score or to move anywhere. The varsity was made up of Dave Muniz, also scoring high in sectional action, and a senior, Bob Neil, a senior, Ricco Davis, a senior, Bill Urbanik, a junior, and a rebound artist, Eugene Pasterick, a seniorg Tyree, Tom Smith, a seniorg Gregory Lewis, a senior. The Dragons finished the season in fifth place in Section Five standing. Coach Francis LaMendola handled the J avee team successfully. The Javees played the preliminary games to the varsity contests, and ended the season with a 15-4 record. John Tryee slips by his defenders and lays the ball gently against the backboard. wi. e,,., av H 'K l ,..f , ,Y L 1 mesa is - M.. sims: 1 ' 3 Senior Lettermen .
