AD 3 3 Qvrcuford Although man has been intrigued by the mysteries of the heavens since the beginning of time, modern research has proven his early beliefs in predicting the future by the stars unsound. Yet, as we look back over our high school years, we discover that our accomplishments and experiences have given us a very definite insight into the future. The past and the present do have a bearing upon the future. Tomorrow's achievements are but a reflection of today's attainments. If we successfully meet each obligation every day, our fear of the uncertainty of the future will dissolve in the knowledge that we may confidently and rightfully leave the, end result in the hands of the Divine. Should we, the Class of 1955, proceed in this light, we, perhaps, shall be a step nearer to better human relations and to the supreme possession of peace of mind. - Betsey Somerville ll! A AJ! S wp 451 gn-fp 1 A ,O 'Ar x 6-J 3 -5- Dedimfivu We grafiefully dedicate This issue of The TORCH To MR. C. E. GLASS Principal - 1928 ,............,.. 1955. ..6.. Dedication Mr. Glass's regime in Dormont High School encompasses years of significant events and changes in national life. He came to Dormont in 1923, in the decade known as the Roaring Twenties or the Age of Flaming Youth, he became principal in 1928, in the days of economic boom, which led to the stock market crash and the inevitable depression of the Thirties. The next decades the Forties, plunged the nation into World War ll with its shrinking of world horizons, its hazards and uncertainties for youth, the appalling destructiveness of the atom bomb, and the changing social problems. Mr. Glass's retirement comes in the middle of a decade of cold wars, continuing change in social problems, constant threats of Communist aggression, world-wide diplomacy, and the even more destructive hydrogen bomb. lt is important for Dormont High School that a man of Mr. Glass's caliber has been at its helm during these decades of change. The father of three sons and a daughter fall graduates of Dormont High Schoolj, he has had the viewpoint of a parent as well as that of a principal. He has felt and evidenced a personal and sincere interest in youth and their needs, but he has held a firm position against enroaching fads and movements which might unbalance the true aims of an educational institution. Mr. Glass has subscribed consistently to the theory that compulsory public education should give each pupli an opportunity to develop to the utmost his own abilities and talents so long as that development does not endanger the freedoms of others. Particularly successful products of this theory of Mr. Glass's have been the student-sponsored and student-directed school and class assemblies and the varieties show. During the years Mr. Glass has served Dormont, he has introduced products of his thought and experimentation into the school. Among the best known of these are the present system of attendance cards and the guidance log with its accompanying forms of reporting. In i928, he introduced into the program of Dormont High School a psychology course fformerly designated Orientationl, which has been an integral part of the curriculum ever since. The unknown and the unreported influences of Mr. Glass on the lives of Dor- mont students in thirty-two years will never be recounted. As Henry Adams said, A teacher affects eternity, he can never tell where his influence stops. -7- .,... ...,,,,..,.....,........,..

You have now achieved one of your most cherished hopes - a goal to which you have looked forward for twelve years. Along this happy, busy road you have been more or less guarded and guided by your parents and teachers, yet, each step of the way they have been concerned that you be given the freedom and opportunity to develop as a distinct personal- ity. Each year your educational program was planned so you would grow more and more in- dependent in thought and decision. You were given a variety of experiences to explore your potential abilities. Democracy was practiced in your home and school life that you might be familiar with its advantages and conscious of its responsibilities. You have now reached another fork in the road. Your choice of direction will test the effectiveness of your parents' guidance, your teachers' efforts, your community's interest, and above all, of your ability to take advantage of these endeavors in your behalf. We have every reason to believe that you have reached the stature for this decision. That you will choose wisely, we have no doubts. Some of you will select college and so further your formal education, others will enter business or the vocations immediately, while still others will establish homes. Regardless of the direction you choose, we wish you success. We will follow your career with a sense of pride in your every accomplishment, knowing that you will accept your full responsibility as a citizen, and that each of you will make a real contribution to society. It is my sincere and personal hope that your cup of happiness is filled to the brim and over- flowing. lax v1. l4 li 7 ' 3 az... !. f' i lf Charles H.

Scrzior Hlrzss Presents '24 Grnurrfiruf lfrzrrkcc In kilrq Arthur? Hour! The crowd is hushed. The curtain is about to open on the smash hit of the year, Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court , presented by none other than the renowned Dormont Seniors. No wonder the audience is waiting so impatient- ly. Behind scenes, the members of the cast are preparing to go on. They have worked hard to make this production the biggest success yet. Their cast is outstanding, starring that subtle comedian Ray Smith as Hank, Carol Leventon as his sister, Marion, Charlene Low as Mrs. Bennet, Hank's mother, the noted actor Franz Schubert as King Arthur, with beautiful Lois Stanton as his queen, Guenever. The other characters are Mer- lin, played by Frank Cipriani, Sir Lancelot, played by Newton Blair, Queen Morgan le Fay, by Sue Ward, and Sandy, the creation of Gretchen Huecker. Directing the play is Miss Miller, under whose supervision the annual class play has al- ways been superb. They have practiced after school and in the evening for five weeks. A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court is based on Mark Twain's book of the same name. It was adapted for stage production by John G. Fuller, and produced by special ar- rangement with Baker's plays. Hank, a young engineer lust out of college, is a real mechanical genius. While experimenting with one of his gadgets he is knocked out cold. He awakes in King Arthur's Court, believing him- self to be in an insane asylum. He soon realizes his plight, however, when he finds himself sen- tenced to death. How he gets out of this trouble and what he does then, provide a rip-roaring comedy that is enough to keep anyone laughing for hours. As the curtain opens, everyone leans for- ward. This will certainly be the play of the year. lt is in three acts with a prologue and epilogue. The interest -of the spectators is heightened as the play continues. This is the best Class Play they have ever seen. The iokes have never been given with such punch. The curtain closes on the end of the play. The spontaneous burst of applause tells the cast that their efforts have been well appreciated. All breathe a sigh of relief, and then go out to take their bows. The T955 Class Play is a rous- ing success. What meaneth this disturbance, Sagra- mor? What have ye to say, swine? Meihinks thy recent tolerance hath put wicked thoughts in the minds of the peo- ple. Arthur, you shall remain king over all your little three ring circus here and re- ceive all the bunk and claptrap that goes with it in the way of lcingship, but ap point ME perpetual minister. -Hank.

D17 wants ' Activities Qlrfuri if ltmtcr Zztulty Spvusv shin There are certainly many reasons why the various activities of Dormont High School benefit the school and its pupils. These activities en- courage the development of initiative, responsi- bility and co-operation, as well as providing social contacts and outlets for creative energy for the students. Beyond this, many of the organi- zations contribute a definite service to the school. Dormont High is not lacking in athletic or- ganizations. Among the girls, Cheerleaders Club and G. A. C. are perennial favorites. The boys develop co-ordination in the Tumbling Team, which is Dormont's only non-competitive boys' sport. The cultural side of the students' life is amply provided for in activities such as the ac- tive and very popular Glee Clubs, and the ener- getic Paint Crew, formed to plan and execute the Varieties props and scenery. Modern Dance and Tap Chorus Clubs exercise creative ability. Ushers' Club and Stage Crew are essential to the various school programs. Members of the Varieties Committee and the Make-up Club ioin with them in the Spring to plan a tip-top Varieties show. Service organizations at D. H. S. include Student Council, Library Club and Projection Club. These encourage responsibility and origi- nality. The student body of Dormont High School wishes to say Thank you to its sponsors in the extracurricular activities tor the past year 1954- l955. They have greatly appreciated this as- sistance without which extracurricular activities would be impossible. These activities have add- ed much to the enjoyment and social develop- ment of the members ot the student body. Such productions as Varieties and Musicale would never have been possible without their willing assistance. We of the Torch staff especially wish to thank Mrs. Gennaula, whose hard work and ready sympathy for us, have made this book pos- sible.
