To the freshmen, the school year 1955-56 has been an open door into a new world of friends, fun, and learning. Sophomores and juniors have used this time to develop their talents and to satisfy new ambitions. It was for the seniors, however, that this year was most significant. To the senior, completing his high school education, each activity has had a special and enriched meaning. The student body is grateful to the faculty who have helped make this year so meaningful to each student in terms of his maturation, develop- ment of friendships, and the crystallization of his interests. The purpose of this Torch is to preserve the essence of these precious experiences. -JUDITH GOODMAN . -5 ff ci 3 6 Standing: C. H. Bryan, H. L. Heilman, J. A. Anderson, R. B. Holmes, H. V. Brownlee.

STRAITIFF JAY NEFF Principal We have been honored to welcome Mr. jay Neff, our new Principal, to Dormont High School. Mr. Neff has impressed all by his eagerness to become acquainted with the students and with the traditions of Dormont High. Among the beneficial innovations he has made are the weekly bulletin and the revised gym-hygiene schedule. He has also granted special recognition to the seniors in letting them leave the gym first after pep rallies and assemblies. We have been privileged to work with Mr. Neff and sincerely hope that he has felt the same way toward us. Miss Burton, whose manifold duties as Vice-Principal and Dean of Girls, keep her in contact with both the students and the administration, has guided us wisely through our stay at Dormont High. She has given freely from the fruits of her wide experience and has set a fine example by her readiness to assume responsibility. The school secretary, Mrs. Straitiff, is known to all for her friendly manner and her help- fulness. Under her expert supervision, the office functions efficiently at all times. MARY BURTON Lois D.

E IOR CL SS PL Y On Friday night, January 27, 1956, the senior class presented Bayard Veiller's mystery drama, The Thirteenth Chair. Under the excellent direction of Miss Miller, the play was tense and exciting. The cast was fortunate enough to be able to use the newly remodeled auditorium at Hillsdale School, which heightened the dramatic effect. In the play, a seance was planned by Edward Wales and a medium, Madame LaGrange, to expose the murderer of Spencer Lee, a very dear friend of Wales, who had been slain some time before the action of the play. The scheme failed when the medium discovered that the girl she was to accuse was her daughter, Helen O'Neill. Although Madame LaGrange did not disclose this relationship, she tried to evade giving the seance. Forced to do so, she refused to reveal the name of the murderer. Suddenly, during the seance, Wales was killed. None of the party left. Inspector Donahue arrived and soon discovered that Helen was the medium's daughter. He then accused Helen of the murders since her fingerprints proved that she had been the last person to leave Lee's apartment before his slaying and had been sitting next to Wales during the seance. Madame LaGrange pleaded for time to prove her daughter's innocence, and was granted ten minutes. Through a second 'tseancef' and clever scheming, she forced the dramatic confession from Philip Mason that he had murdered Lee from jealousy, and Wales, in order to protect himself. The play closed with Madame LaGrange's prediction, to Helen and her fiance, Will Crosby, of future happiness. P. Uhland, Helen O'Neillf J. Butler, Will Crosby, D. Pazin, Rosalie LaGrange: N.

In the half-filled stadium, grey metal reverberates with Fine speech, The Alma Mater sounds and resounds in the evening air. Parents, relations, sons, daughters, departg Then is there silence. A silence of pregnant thought upon the threshold of deed. On those steel walks lie footprints of four years. On that evening air lies a silence heavy with years unborn. Remembered dreams ascend to an over-hanging mist. Dreams of that first day, four years ago, When we came with anticipation and awe into school. Dreams, iridescent, weblike. Of first friends, lasting friends, Of the first class, of the last class. Assemblies and Varieties, dances, proms. All the mistakes, fears, joys, triumphs of four years sift through the mist in an instant. Starward soar our thoughts from past, To present, To future. White caps and gowns: Maroon caps and gowns The fruit of four years, A station on the road of destiny. LLoYn STRICKER 43 GRADUATION F- fz.- i 5 5 f-up K K DERCLASSM -JU HJR E. Williams, S. Bauer, T.

Our first day at school, our excitement at the football games, and our nervousness before appearing in an assembly are occasions which stand out in our memories. An introduction to after-school activities broadens our horizons and develops our leadership. We learn a great deal from the variety of subjects that we are taught, from Latin and algebra to history and French, as well as the commercial courses. To talk of these years without mentioning new friends would be to slight them, for during our time as underclassmen, last- ing friendships are made. Finally, these years are a preparatory period for our roles as seniors, the representatives of our school. Making the most of these thirty months of school assures a better individual and a better American. 4 l Row 4. C. Minnotti, R. Ste- venson, D. Philip, G. Gianni, J. Wilding, D. Keane, P. Palm- er, C.

'Wg in STUDE T COUNCIL :-ave gm, ' The Student Council provides each pupil with the chance to learn the forms of democracy. It is a great honor to be chosen to represent a home room in this body. One student is elected from each report room through the junior yearg two area? en from each senior home room. The Council is very active, and manages? hh diverse functions as the magazine campaign, the Christmas tree fund, the hall guard appointments and the noon dancing. From the pro- ceeds of the magazine campaign, it has been customary for the Student Council to present some necessary piece of equipment to the school. This year it has purchased a new record player which may also be used as a public address system. LIBR RY CL B The Library Club is responsible for keeping our library in the excellent condition that most of us take for granted. Under Mrs. Lauder's careful super- vision, the girls handle the incoming and outgoing books and aid in the finding of that reference which is so necessary. The presence of these well-trained assistants results in a pleasant, workable library. FUTURE TEACHER OF AMERIC The Future Teachers of America is a new club at Dormont High. Its pur- pose is to show its members the varied and rewarding satisfactions of teaching. The many activities sponsored by the club included a trip to Slippery Rock State Teachers College and trial teaching in the primary grades by some of the senior members. L. Artman, Presidentg B.

The work- ings of this club are well co-ordinated and well handled. Each member assumes a great deal of responsibility. He must come and get his assignments, work them out, and hand them in on the required date. Along with the regular features of the Dormonitor, a bi- monthly Roto Section and an editorial column has been added this year. The most eagerly awaited day around the school-the day the Dormonitor is distributed-attests to the fact that each of the members of this dedicated club may well be proud of his work. .ii QJzfRow 4: G.

DRAMATIC CL B Students interested in acting and play- study have had a chance, for the first time this year, to develop their interests further in the newly organized Dramatic Club. They worked very hard, for, in the short time they had, they produced at Christmas time an ex- cellent adaptation of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol. It is hoped that this will prove to be the precedent for an annual pro- duction. Row 4: P. Sarno, C. Thompson, B. Stevenson, D. Grabe, E. Rudt, R. Skarvelis, P. Worthy, N. Matlack, M. Sekula.

IJIHHI CLUB During Varieties, Musicale, and the school sports activities, the very compe- tent and helpful ushers are always at work taking tickets and seating people. Sponsored by Mr. McLaughlin, this unobtrusive but important group is always hard at work during the school-sponsored programs. T P CLUB Dormont High School girls, who are noted for their enjoyment of dancing, have enthusiastically supported the Tap Club. In this organization, the mem- bers learn many new tap steps and develop grace and poise. The climax of their season is the Varieties, when the best dancers are chosen to dance in their ever popular act. AN A group of which every student at Dormont High is justly proud is the high-stepping, high-spirited Band. During the football season, it practices every day after school, and its precision performance at the half-time highlights every game. The band, led by Bill Hrach, this year's student conductor, also plays for the pep rallies. After four years a member in good standing is eligible for a band letter. B Reed, L. Kennedy, B.

The Glee Club is one of the school's hardest working organizations. The enthusiastic members went caroling in December of 1955, after which they had refreshments in the cafeteria. They also sang for the Christmas program, the Musicale, the Varieties, and the Baccalaureate, and took part in the all-school assemblies. The varied programs they pre- sented included selections from South Pa- cific , Christmas carols and songs, Shenan- doah, a sea chantyg traditional songs, and rounds: and several songs of religious nature. The members of the Glee Club work well to- gether and enjoy their work very much. The listeners, as evinced by their applause and complimentary remarks, have also enjoyed the Glee Club's efforts.

Under Mr. Dicker- hoff's direction, they learn to thread, rewind, and splice the films. RIFLE CL B The establishment of a Rilie Club at Dormont High has drawn such a response that it has grown by leaps and bounds. The members, at their weekly meetings, learn about the different kinds of rifles and hear lectures on related subjects. They have also had practices at Mt. Lebanon High School, and have engaged in several interscholastic contests. CA EBA CL B The Camera Club concerns itself with the complicated field of photography. The members learn techniques of enlarging, developing, and printing pictures, and study the use of the various lenses. With a newly-completed, well-equipped darkroom and several school cameras, this club is sure to go far. J. Skarvelis, E. Walters, L. Members of the Rifle Club listen J. Anthon, B.

The enthusiastic applause at the end of this year's Musicale certainly demonstrated this fact. The Musicale of 1956 was one of the best in the school's history-something that will need the concentrated effort of next year's group to outdo. No particular part of the concert outshone any other. After Christmas, the extensive preparations began. Daily, during Block V, the Band practiced its numbers. Corrections, changes, and perspiration were combined to give an overall effect of good playing and good listening. The Glee Club also worked very hard. On Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays after school, and in the chorus classes, Glee Club members worked at a killing pace to produce the mighty force of the Hallelujah Chorus, the tender aflirmations of God So Loved the World, and the humor in Scotland's Burning. The fruits of their work were very heartwarming to the performers-a good job well done is worth the effort itself. These musicians, for they have earned that title, are proud of the excellent program they presented this year. SYMPHONIC BAND MR.

There is a bit of the actor in each of us, and that is one reason for Varieties' continuing excellence. The latent abilities waiting to be used, the creativeness involved in designing scenery and making up acts, and the co-ordination of the performers and backstage workers are all given the chance to develop through Varieties. Several organizations are particularly concerned with Varieties. Paint Crew and Stage Crew devote much time and energy to the scenery and the flats to which it is stapled. The stage crew set something of a record this year, in putting up the Hats. In one day, exclusive of the wings, the entire boys' end of the gym was blanketed from floor to ceiling with these flats. The credit for the perform- ers facial appearance goes to the Make-up Club, which does this fine job before the performances. This fine, flawless undertaking is the responsibility of the Varieties Committee, which must review and approve all acts, make sure that everything runs smoothly and take care of all last minute details. This year, the theme chosen was The Enchanted Bookshelf. Modern Dance Club presented sterling performances of the Red Shoes and the Fire Dance, while Tap Chorus gave them tough competition with their rendition of Hot Canary and Ragtime Cowboy Joe. The Glee Club, with its customary fervor, sang selections from South Pacific. Tumbling Team was superb in its presentation of daring acrobatics. A host of small acts, including music, comedy, and dancing, brought resounding applause from an appreciative audience. Varieties is always an excellent showg full of fun and hard work. The ex- perience gained is well worth the time and trouble involved. From the Torch Staff, to all the students who have participated in the '56 Varieties, comes this commendation: A mammoth project, well done. STAGE CREW 72 VARIETIES COM MITTILE Row 3: Mr. Reed, D.

CHEERLEADER We of Dormont High School have always been fortunate to have the best of cheerleaders. This year's group of girls is no exception. They started the foot- ball season with fine pep rallies and no matter what the weather, were there to cheer our boys on to victory. They went to more basketball games than any other group of varsity cheerleaders. The girls showed their originality in the many new and popular cheers they made up while working hard fifteen hours a week last summer. Their finest and most respected job is, however, showing more than 150 underclassmen how to develop into fine cheerleaders. The following five girls have served as varsity cheerleaders this past year: Barbara Hunter, Head Cheerleader-Through the truly great job Barb has done as head cheerleader, she has become one of the leaders of the school. This very popular senior will be missed by all in years to come. Sherrie Stitt-- Sherrie is an excellent cheerleader, who, like Barb, has been a varsity cheerleader for two years. She has especially helped the underclassmen to perfect their cheerleading. Jo Lee Miller--though a cheerleader for only one year, Jo Lee has done won- ders in stirring up interest in Cheerleaders' Club and has made up numerous new cheers. Margie McLaughlin-The very neat appearance of Margie has been her greatest asset during her first year as a varsity cheerleader. Mary Lou Del Sardo- Mary Lou is another line junior cheerleader who is looking forward to the new year's season with great interest and enthusiasm. 77 FOOTBALL Row 5: B. Hall, Mgr.g J. Bramer, J.

Early in the first quarter, a steady rain began, hampering both teams' chances for gains. Mid- way in the second quarter, Bill Lampe con- nected with Richie Koren in the end zone for six points. The conversion was missed, and at the end of of the half Dormont was still holding a wet six-point advantage. Late in the third quarter, Koren paced off 45 yards for a touchdown. Al Trevor converted and when the game ended Dormont had 13 points and their first win. CRAFTON-6 DORMONT- 1 2 With one W.P.I.A.L. win tucked away, Dor- mont started rolling with the kickoff. After only 4 minutes, Lampe passed to Wayne Paul for the first Dormont score. In the second quarter, Jack Maurer blocked the kick and Nick Danas recovered in the end zone for a second touchdown. At the end of the half, Dormont held the lead at 12-0. In the third quarter, Crafton put across 6 points. Our Dormont team held for the remaining minutes of the game and added a second win to their record. BETHEL-2 0 DORMONT-7 Because of an extremely wet field on the scheduled Friday, this game was played on Monday evening. At the half, Bethel was leading, 13-0. Dormont scored at the begin- ning of the half. On the third play, Corso went across and Trevor added the extra point. Later, Snyder of Bethel added 6 points by scoring from the 12 yard line. The game ended with a 20-7 score. This loss eliminated Dormont as a contender for the Class A championship. SHALER-7 DORMONT-6 Dormont traveled to Shaler for a contest with the fine Shaler contingent. On the sec- GAMES ond play of the game, Richard Koren ran 55 yards for a touchdown. The extra point was missed. Though Shaler only scored one touch- down in the second half, they definitely out- played the Dormont squad. The touchdown was a pass play and the conversion won the game. MCKEES ROCKS-20 DORMONT-28 On Friday, October 21, Dormont scored their first win in three games by beating McKees Rocks 28-20. Rocks jumped to an early 14-0 lead in the first quarter. Dormont scored only once, leaving the score at 14-7 at the end of the half. At the beginning of the second half, Dormont pulled ahead with a pair of touchdowns by Lampe. Both teams then added an extra touchdown and an extra point, and left the final score remaining at 28-20. Al Trevor successfully converted 4 points. CLARK CScott Twp.j-30, DORMONT--0 Dormont went into the Scott game with high spirits because the '54 game lingered in their minds, but Scott proved too much for them. On the third play of the game Stanton scored. In the second quarter, Arbuckle scored from the 5 yard line, after receiving a pass from the 20. After the half, Scott's Arbuckle again passed under the goal posts on a handoff. Later in the third quarter, Stanton intercepted a pass on the Dormont 30 and went all the way. At the end of that period, Scott's quarterback scored off-tackle. All the extra point attempts were missed. BRENTWOOD-0 DORMONT-18 Dormont High closed their 1955 football season by defeating Brentwood 18-0. The first half saw little action. In the second half the Dormont eleven came to life with Koren carrying once and Lampe twice to give Dor- mont their three touchdowns. All three extra points were missed leaving the final score Dormont 18, Brentwood 0. FRE HMA FOOTBALL Row 4: M. Vacca, Mgr., H. McMillan, P. Black, M. Burns, P. Conklin, Mgr.

In the middle of August, over twenty boys were on the field ready to be put through their drills by the new coach, Mr. Volkavich. They worked hard together, day after day, and produced a fine team, full of spirit and determination. Although their season record is not impressive, the experi- ence they gained cannot be measured in terms of wins and losses. SCORES Clark CScott Twp.j 19 Dormont 0 Ingram Jr. High 6 Dormont 7 Mt.

The team lost their first league game to Washington, 55-35. Dormont proceeded to win the next ten league contests. Among these were the 50-44 win over Washington and the 59-44 win over Mt. Lebanon. They moved Dormont into a first place tie with Washington. This was the first league game in 77 that Washington had lost. The final game of the season, a 74-51 loss to Mt. Lebanon, eliminated Dormont from a playoff.

Though many had never played competitive inter- school basketball before, the boys achieved this winning season by a determina- tion to do their best. Francis Audia was the highest scoring player on our fresh- man squad with 108 pointsg Barry Johnson was second with 88 points. Our team was fortunate to have an above average height. With the coaching of Mr. Kling, the team has learned to work and practice together for the coming SSSSOII. SCORES Mt.

Before the first meet the boys had only three good days of prac- tice. Dormont promptly stepped into the bucket by dropping three successive meets to Mt. Lebanon, South Hills and Baldwin. 'Because of bad weather, Dor- mont did not meet Langley and Brentwood until early May. After defeating Langley, Dormont traveled to Brentwood, which resulted in a loss. Thus, a poor season ended with a poor record. On the track the sprints were handled ably by Al Clerihue, Dick Koren, Casey Fisher, and Lou Corso, the quarter mile by Dave Kelly and jack Maurerg the half mile and the mile by Dean Steele, Wayne Paul, Keith Van Riper and Kent Van Riperg the 880 relay by Corso, Clerihue and Koren, the mile relay by Lampe, McLaughlin, Maurer and Kellyg the hurdles by Brownlee, Kelly and Bramer. In the field the shot and discus were taken care of by Danas, Mingrone and Thomas, the javelin by McLaughling the high jump and broad jump by Ma- loney and Lampe, and the pole vault by Koren. Although this year was not what would be termed successful, the boys deserve recognition for the effort and determination they showed. 85 TORCH PATRON S MR. AND MRS. H. R. ARTMAN A FRIEND W. P.
