Q Might Oaks From Little Acorns Grow This year thirty boys got their first taste of rough, tough football under the guidance of Mr. Volkavich, the freshman coach, who spared nothing in whipping them into shape. Along with the bumps, bruises, and broken bones was sprinkled a wealth of experience and sportsman- ship which will prove invaluable in their three remaining years of football for Dormont. The freshman record of two wins and .four losses shows that they have begun to work as a team and are well on their way to learning the finer points of football. They have learned to put the strategies taught on the practice field into play under pressure in actual games. As we watch their improvement, we hope they will continue to be a source of pride to Dormont and to grow successfully from the acorns of a freshman team to the mighty oaks of the Varsity. 1 4 Row 3: Mr. Volkavich, Coachg D.

Aside from their partici- pation at football and basketball games and their leadership at pep rallies, an important part of school life, they set a good example ol' spirit and sportsmanship for the student body at these events. Long hours of summer practice, as well as practice nearly every day after school, were included in the time the girls spent preparing and perfecting their cheers. 'l'l1Cy also very ably headed a club which met alter school for the purpose ol' training future cheerleaders. At the suggestion ol Miss XVatson, who was more than just a sponsor to them, they attended a cheer- leaders' contest held at Mount Lebanon High School where they competed with cheerleaders lrom twenty-nine other schools. Their originality and precision earned them a trophy and second place in the contest. These girls have set a standard that will be hard to match by cheer- li-aders in years to come. M.-XRGIE MCL.-XUGHLIN Margie was the peppiest and most spirited of the girls. -M--+ ...gnhx sd...-uni l.liNORli HICKIQY l.enore's big smile added sparkle to all the cheerleaders.

The story of this year's Basketball team is not the impressive and successful one it should have been. Instead, it is one marked by hard playing and an astonishingly high number of two and three point losses. The first few games seemed to set the pace for th a few mid-season of Peters Twp. and e others with the exception of games. Nl-'e won the last two the exhibition games easily with Bethel and YVCIII O11 to H1146 the fll'Sll two league games with Trinity and Burgettstown. Canonsburg spoiled the winning streak, resulting in our having only four of our games in the win column at the end of the season. Every season, in spite ol' its record, is valuable. l'Vith the ex- perience the boys have gained this year and through profiting from the mistakes they have made, our team should forge ahead to bigger and better things next year.

The boys, coached by Mr. Kling, had an above- average season, winning 7 of their 11 games. They played, good, hard, fast basketball. The main purpose of every team is to win, but in the freshman year it is equally important to get a good background and learn the fundamentals. Passing, cutting, and dribbling are necessities for a good basketball education. Also, the fresh- man must learn to play as a team which is often difficult as they have never played together be- fore. In anticipation that they will continue to improve their playing, keep up their interest and enthusiasm, and always maintain a spirit of good sportsmanship, we could safely say they will someday be line representatives of Dormont. 0PP0 f'lt Dm-mont Opponent 7 15 Langley 24 27 Castle Shannon P 23 29 Carnegie 24 64 McNaugher 22 28 Fort Couch 30 Track Men Take Their Hurdles in Stride Row 3: j.

It has a pleasing mixture of seniors, who score the points, and inexperienced underclassmen, who are gaining experience un- der fire. Herb Brownlee and jim Bramer have provided the strength in the hurdles to win this event in every meet. Dave McLaughlin and Al Clerihue have scored points in the dashes. jack A group of boys representing Dormont's track team went to the Connellsville relays in which our shuttle high hurdle team placed seventh in a field of thirty-two. Congratulations to these boys. In the Independent Districts' meet held at Mt. Lebanon, Dave McLaughlin placed fifth in the javelin to win a ribbon. Although nobody else was in the top live, Jin. Bramer and Herb Brownlee placed seventh in the low and high hurdles respectively. Mr. Loeffler, Head Coach. Lammert, ,lim Dittmar, and Don Campiti al- ways have given a good account of themselves in the longer distance runs. In the field events Paul Palmer, jim Coyne, john Minneci, Dave Keane, Dave McLaughlin have helped raise the total score, although the season record is not good, the sportsmanship, which was developed through competition, is more important than winning.

Burton works carefully on the underclass section while j. Keller. Editor-in-chief. gives H. Mt-Nfillan pointers on a sports write-up. The close of a school year means many things to different people. To the Freshman, it is the comple- tion of the first year of a new experience. To the Seniors, it is the end of' four years of study, work, and fun: the finish of preparation for college, a job, or the armed services. The doeumentors of these years spent in Dormont are the members of' the TORCH staff. They are the ones who give the student the book which will aid in recalling one's classmates, activities, and teachers. Our school, in proportion to its size, is exception- ally active. There is always much going on. From sports and extracurricular activities to Varieties, Mus- icale, and assemblies, its pupils are kept very busy indeed.

This news- paper could be compared to a huge tree, con- sisting of many small branches: these are its re- porters. Each reporter is given an assignment which he carries out with efficiency. The Dor- monitor must and does meet its deadlines, for its monthly appearance is never interrupted. The paper contains such items as sports articles, fashion notes, editorials, exchanges, and school assembly writeups - in short, good reading ma- terial for everyone. In addition to these regular articles, the paper features special writeups in honor of such holidays as Christmas and Easter. The fact that the paper has a high rating in the high school publications division is proof that it has attained its goal. Each student, from fresh- man to senior, looks forward with eagerness to Dormonitor-distribution day and is pleased with D. Moore and G. Diomataris help I..

F T.A., National Honor, and Student Council The Future Teachers of America Club, the National Honor Society, and the Student Coun- cil are organizations which, though varied in duties, are united in purpose. That purpose is to produce amiability, cooperation, and signs of leadership among students. These groups help their members to grow-up and to assume new responsibilities and new attitudes. The Future Teachers of America Club, in its second year at the high school, has done much to better the average student's view about the teaching profession. During the year the Club has visited Indiana State Teachers College and has given some ol' its senior members an oppor- tunity to teach in the primary grades. National Honor Society is an organization composed ol students who have shown signs of leadership and integrity as well as scholastic ability during their three or Your years at Dor- mont. Membership in the Society is awarded to deserving students at the end of their junior or senior years. This membership represents a just reward for successful achievement. The Society worked on a handbook this year, which it hopes to use in years to come. Student Council acquaints its members with student government and its diverse activities. Each report room has one representative, with the exception of senior-report rooms, which have two. The Council manages the hall guard apf pointments and the Christmas tree fund. It supervises and provides records for noon dancing. From the proceeds of the magazine campaign, Student Council purchases a much-needed piece of equipment for the school. The honor given each representative has been justilied by his con- scientious eliorts to make our school a better place in every way. Row 5: E. H1'llCll, R. Nichols, A. Dedcrich E. Gee. Row sl: NI.

Those Who Serve: Stage Crew, Make-up, lf the Varieties, Musicale, and the Class Play are the flowers and foliage, then the roots and trunk of our school are such clubs as the Stage Crew, Make-Up, Projection and Camera, Ushers and Gate Squad, and Library clubs. The Stage Crew prepares the gym for Mus- icale and Varieties, erects the scenery for the Class Play, and does many smaller jobs, such as erecting the tree at Christmas time. The Make-Up Club is most active during the Class Play and particularly for the Varieties. Creating realistic facsimiles of the many diverg- ent characters of the world, past and present, young and old, is an art, the job of Make-Up Club's members. Because of their overlapping memberships, the Projection and Camera Clubs have this year been combined into one organization. Members of the club show the movies in our school's visual aid program and are responsible for the mainte- nance and care of the machines. Those pupils who wish to expand their knowledge and skill and photography comprise the Camera Club. Availing themselves of the school's equipment, the members become greatly experienced in the handling of the intricacies of photography. The spaciousness, inviting atmosphere, and excellent condition of our library result in a large usage of it, a usage which makes a mainte- nance of its excellence increasingly difficult. YVith sufficient determination and pride, the members of the Library Club and the librarian do keep the library in the condition the users have come to expect as a matter of course. Permeating every member of the Ushers and Gate Squad is the quality of courtesy and polite- ness, this club's basic qualification for member- ship. Their duties include ticket taking, the seating of people, and render- ing any service an emergency or question for aid may necessi- tate. Dormont is justifiably proud of its Ushers and Gate Squad, known for and compli- mented on their successful re- lations with people. Row 8: R. Gillis. J. Montgomery, Anderson, Mr. Reed, G. Gianni.

Tap, G.A.C., and Modern Dance Are The Some organizations which contribute to the physical and mental well-being ol our girls at Dormont High School are the Tap Club, the Girls' Athletic Club, and the Modern Dance Club. ll these groups had a motto, it would probably be, as the twig is bent so the tree's inclined. Tap Club teaches its members the funda- mentals and special techniques ol tap dancing. It helps them to develop poise, so essential in everything they do. The best dancers are chosen in the spring to dance in the cIub's outstanding Varieties acts. These acts display the precision and coordination ol this well-trained group. The Girls' Athletic Club offers lun, work, for example, such games as volleyball, ping-pong, shullleboard, and bowling. During the year some ol the members participated in a play day at Mt. Lebanon High School and were hosts to some schools in the district for a play day at Dormont. C.A.C. also sponsored the Twirp Twirl , an annual November dance. These events were quite successful. lXIodern Dance Club, the acorn of these recreational clubs, is increasing in size and popu- larity. Varieties is the Highlight of this group's intensive work and planning. Each year those Chosen for the Modern Dance act perform in an original interpretive dance. The originality and fine execution ol' this choreography are surpris- and friendships to its girls. Members can play, ing. ow 4: S. Paslin, S. Bell. V. Hafenbrak. C. Leeky, N. Munn.

Skzlrvclis CXCCIIIC Unified Cheerleaders' Club Attains Success Perhaps the most necessary club in school is the Cheerleaders' Club, for in it is the nucleus of all school spirit. The club trains girls to be cheerleaders for the games and pep rallies. Mem- bers ran be seen practicing cheering their free gym periods or leading the numerous cheers at football and basketball games. Two years of active participation in the club are required of every girl before she becomes a Dormont High School cheerleader. This achieve- ment means more hard work, but it also pro- vides an opportunity for visiting other schools and meeting other cheerleaders and teams. From association with other cheerleaders, many new ideas can be acquired in the art of effective cheerleading, which is never as easy as it looks. Our cheerleaders, in addition to their forceful cheerleading, have another attraction - striking outfits of beanies, sweaters, short pleated skirts, and saddle shoes: these outfits add to the cheer- leaders' appeal. The girls who do not meet the requirements the first year are permitted to try out another year. Enthusiasm for this club and its activities never dwindles, even temporarilyg its members continue their practicing. Their growth in skill is astounding, and involves not only a physical but a mental growth. Each year the Varsity Cheerleaders think up new cheers which add sparkle to the games. Extra, Extra, Dormont Locomotive, and Boom Chick A Boom are but a few of the many cheers the girls learn. Another interesting activity which the girls enjoy is a routine with the Band at football halves. Rain or shine, lose or win, the cheer- leaders pep up every game. Is this participation worth the effort? The girls and the student body think so, for without them a school lacks that certain color and unity so necessary for its suc- cess. Somehow, nothing seems to equal the thrill of cheering at a game, whether the outlook be good, bad, or indifferent. Cheering seems to be a national pastime, one that needs to be nur- tured. A highly capable group, with two years of training, assures us a blend of energy, poise, and school spirit, with a touch of good sports- manship. s- ml-lznv 7: C. Tgcliow, L.Tarker, P. Otway, J.

Centuries old but ever young is tumbling, a kind of topsy-turvy activity which appeals to young and old. Displaying its precision perform- ances on the horse and the mats, our tumbling team ranks with the best in the area. This group of boys is organized early in the spring and should be given much credit for its excellent Varieties presentation only a few months later. Students active in tumbling must show an apt- ness for this strenuous and demanding work, the success of which depends upon common sense as well as extraordinary strength and control. The skill exhibited by these boys is worthy of note, for it emphasizes the thoroughness with which these boys have practiced their stunts: gymnastics such as are performed demand more than just the desire to perform them. Elementary in all types of movement is grace, utilized to the utmost in tumbling. Grace, in tumbling, is a combination of correctly timed control and co- ordination. Strength, acquired during the high essential element in school years, is another tumbling. Like grace and skill, strength can be developed only through guided and faithful practice. .-Xkin to grace, skill, and strength is control, a composite of these three. The team, in its various formations, shows a definite mastery of control seldom surpassed by professional gymnasts. In the past, the team has won prizes for its skill on the mats, proving its worth genuine. Individual talent has done much to heighten tumbling's appeal, but its main drawing card is teamwork, a feeling of oneness compelling every member to do his best for the team, a desire to share applause. A group becomes outstanding, rather than mediocre, because of its teamwork. Dangerous as this activity is, its danger is lessened when each and every team 111Cll1l.X'l' maintains his control. Mlithout this unity, there IS no team. The Tumbling Team, with its wonderful reputation, owes its fame to a combination of the above characteristics plus a desire to excel. Each attribute is important in itself, but only when mixed with other attributes is it effective. Because ol' the application of such a technique, success in the future is assured. Row 2: B. Brown, Row 1: J. Wvessel, Rifle - Marksmanship:Majorettes and Band Virtually every high school in the United States has sports programs containing the more active, body-contact type sports such as football, wrestling, and basketball. Often these sports are over-emphasized. In the well-balanced program, the less rugged but equally demanding sports must be included. The qualities of coordination, clear thinking, and steadiness of nerves need development. One of the finest ways of practicing and building up these skills is the competitive and acutely accurate sport of shooting. Two years ago, a rille team, too long absent from Dormont High School, was reestablished. In this short span the team has grown and ex- panded astoundingly, competed zealously with long-standing and well-known teams, and shown that they are ai team to contend with and to watch closely. VVhen it comes to considering the girls as far as precision, talent, and coordination are concerned, the Majorettes automatically spring into one's mind. These Gve girls have established for themselves a reputation for being pure qual- ity in everything they do. The Majorettes are known mainly as an integral part of the Band. In their attractive maroon and gray uniforms they are a familiar and appreciated part of the half'time routines at football games. By their rhythmic, high-stepping leading of the Band in the local Memorial Day and city-wide Saint Patrick's Day parades, they give ample evidence of their superior quality. Besides these more public activities, the Majorettes aid the Cheer- leaders in arousing the enthusiasm of the rooters at the basketball and football games, and assist at the pep rallies at the school. Ylfith the grace, precision, and hnesse of the well-trained that they continually show, the Majorettes are and will remain an organization of which to be justifiably proud. N. Thomas, J . Muir. S.

The hrst impression a visitor to a Dormont football game receives is that of the Band. For- tunately, Dor1nont's Band gives that all-import- ant, good first impression. The Band's flashy brilliance and obvious esprit de corps reflect favorably upon the school. Even the fans of the team that 1JO1'lllOl1l'S eleven will be opposing take notice of the excellence of the Band. This first impression is the pre-game cere- monies, which are only a prelude to, or a teaser to, the half-time show. In the parlance of march- ing bands, such performances are labeled rou- tines , truly a classic misnomer, for the Band is anything but routine. lngenuity is as much a part ol' this organization as performing and marching ability. The grace and coordination that the Band shows during these seven-and-a-half minute routines belie the many long hours of practice and rehearsal spent in achieving the Band's flow- ing and precise performances. Of course, all the activities of the Band are not confined to the football games although these are the Band's most important public per- formances. The Band participates in many par- ades, plays for school assemblies and pep rallies, and supplies much of the music for the Varieties. Indeed, few groups in Dormont High School have as crowded and diversified a schedule as does the Band. Fortunately, the school has the dependable organization upon which to place these demands - the Dormont High School Band. Sparkling Entertainment Means Hard Work Row 3: J. Lznnmerl. P. Palmer, D.

The Boys' Ensemble, the special boys' singing group has proved itself worthy ol' its name by presenting wiclely-varied progrzlms in the Christ- mas Concert, the Mnsicule, and Var- ieties. The boys have clemonstratecl their ability in singing Negro spirit- uuls by their rendition of Some- bocly's Knoekin' At My Door in the Nlusiczile.. liquully accomplished are they with novelty and show tunes. Each ol their PCl'llO1'lI121IlCCS has been mzirked Ivy much applause and many compliments. In years to come the Boys, Ensemble hopes to carry on the good name it has made by bet- tering the quality and increasing the amount of work if does. For Glee Club and Its Two Special Groups A group which has gone places, both literally and figuratively this year, is the Girls' Ensemble. Consist- ing of ten girls, the Ensemble has sung at assemblies, in the Musicalc, Christmas Concert, and Varieties. The girls are greatly in demand for meetings of men's and women's or- ganizations. Thus, they have estab- lished themselves as good-will repre- sentatives for Dormont High School. The group enjoys its many activities and has acquired much polish since its initial appearance last year. The Ensemble hopes to continue its high- caliber performances in years to come. Often, while walking in the lower hall, we hear singing com- ing from room 24, the music center of Dormont High School. In this room meets our 200-voice Glee Club, an organization whose size and worth have in- creased twofold since its begin- ning lonr years ago. Each year the club presents a Christmas Concert and participates in the Musicale, Varieties, and some all-school assemblies. These pro- grams are 1101 presented without ellort, for they are products of practice, practice, and more prac- tice. Boys and girls combine their talents in these beautiful presen- tations. This year the Glee Club sang selections ranging from Christmas carols to songs from Broadway musicals. It has sung religious music and folk songs, selections from Carousel and songs depicting America's great- ness. Audiences, throughout the year, have heard these songs and have shown their enthusiasm by their cordial response to them. Row 3: j. Dengler, P. Shanabrougli, Miss Knoer, P. Sarno, C. Lecky. Row 2: j.

Now, the headmaster of that school became concerned about the pupils. Oh, their academic work was still of the high quality that was expected of them, I wish you to understand. The pupils still participated in many extracurricular activities and sports and enjoyed all the experiences possible for students after school. But this wise headmaster realized that all education does not come from books. He also knew that the students needed the experience of cooperating together and performing before a critical public. He decided the school needed a little variety and he knew how it could be had. Therefore, he put together a committee of his faculty and students and told them what to do. The headmaster, as I have said, was a wise man. His choices for that hrst committee were good ones, for he had chosen people with the right amounts of artistic, musical, managerial, abilities because of the great amount of work entailed. The committee of course could not do everything that had to be done, hence, they called on the students. Those who could dance, sing, act, or play music were called on to per- form. Those who could paint, or work with wood, or design costmnes and make-up were asked to lend their talents. They all did and put on a great shoui. As the years went by, the shows were such successes that they were continued by popular demand. And the money they earned enabled that good school to become even better by allowing it to increase its services to its students. Odd, is it not, the parallel between that school and Dornlont. Xlle have a show headed by a hard-working committee, conceived by stu- dents, produced by students, and immensely suc- cessful with theipublic. The benehts that we, the students, and our school earn are immeasurable. lVe have realized the broadening of our interests that that good headmaster so long ago wished to instill in his students.

The health suite was being remodeled. Dr. Kenneth Rogers had secured funds from the government to make a study of the health problems of teen-agers and had chosen Dormont as the spot to make the study. Miss Grace Sutton was hired as the regular nurse at Dormont High School and toward the end of the year, Miss Marion Mohan, a social worker, was added to the staff.

To provide this fuel our school has a cafeteria staff. The ladies on this staff have a job that is more difficult than most people realize. Five days a week for an entire school year they must provide meals that are well- balanced and possess variety enough for the hundreds who buy them. Despite the difficulty of the task, they do it successfully. Our hats are off to these ladies for their job well done.

I l.Ll Seniors Make Dramatic Debut In Class Play A wave of excitement swept through the senior class one afternoon last December, for the seniors were told that Miss Miller had selected the class play, Family Circle , a comedy in three acts. The auditions for the various parts would be held within the following week, and all seniors were encouraged to participate. The response was enthusiastic. Choosing among the many potential performers was a difficult task, but finally the choices were announced. The following weeks were strenuous as our actors and actresses developed their talents. Rehearsals were held each day after school, and as the month progressed, Miss Miller met with them during the evenings until at last the appointed day arrived. It was a cold winter's eve January 31, 1957, but the weather did not prevent Dormont High School students, their parents, and friends from attending the performance of the senior class play. The atmosphere in the auditorium of the Hillsdale School was one of warm congeniality as the audience Hlled the large room to capacity. Backstage, there was the expected flurry of ex- citement as the players, nervous with anticipa- tion, prepared for their debut. Colorfully cos- tumed in the fashions of the Roaring Twenties , they impatiently waited while the finishing touches of make-up were applied. Our stars were ready. The auditorium lights were dimmed, the chatter of the audience subsided, and slowly the great curtain ascended. Family Circle had commenced. The play, Family Circle , reveals three days in the life of Cornelia Otis Skinner at the age of seventeen. Cornelia will graduate from high school soon, and Mr. and Mrs. Skinner want their daughter to attend college. Cornelia, how- ever, is determined to follow in her parents' footsteps and become an actress, even though her father is convinced she has no talent. How Cornelia goes about proving her acting ability is displayed in two hours of delightful comedy. Cornelia was portrayed by Suanne Frame, with Eleanor X'Villiams and David Anderson as her parents. -Iudi Campbell enacted the role of Mah, Cornelia's best friend. Amy, a sweet young thing who lisps, and Grace, a forgetful miss, were portrayed by Patty Los and Judy Smith. Charlie, Cornelia's heart interest, was played by Bob Poirier with Regina Skarvelis as Enid, her rival for Charlie's affections. XVilliam, Henry, and Gordon, college boys, were played by Paul Palmer, Ronald Gillis, and Charlie Alcorn with Peggy lXIcCardle as Abby, the maid. Cornelia and her friends meet to practice their school play. Scenes from Shakespeare . Ther are interrupted, however, with the appearance of .Xbher who announces the arrival of Charlie and Ulilliam. Though Mah and 1-Znid welcome the inlrnsion, Cornelia ponders how to keep the boys husv while she continues the rehearsal. Family Circle , A Delightful Comedy Cornelia lincls a fraternity pin and permits Enid and Mah to believe that she is pinned to a wealthy Princeton man. This leads Cornelia into clilficulty when Charlie, a school chum of X-Villiam, comes to her home to claim it. Grace, Mah, Abbey, Xvilliam, Enid, and Charlie watch with admiration as Cornelia re- hearses a scene from Macbeth for her father. Cornelia hopes that he will recognize her acting ability and consent to let his daughter become' an actress. Cornelia decides that self-expression is essen- tial to an actress. Although Enid thinks that it is too ridiculous, Grace and Mah attempt to adopt their friencl's attitude. Grace portrays a cuddly poodle as Mah tries to become an ele- phant. VX-'ishing to be more dramatic, Cornelia acts as a dying swan.

Every eye turned toward the doors as the senior class, tall and erect in their caps and gowns, marched into the gym, took their places in front of the decorated platform, and awaited the invocation which would announce the beginning of the Baccalaureate service for the class of 1957. Seated on the platform were three clergymen familiar to the community: Reverend Charles R. XVolf representing the Dormont Methodist Church, Reverend Harold J. Uhl of the Bethany Evangelical Lutheran Church, and Reverend James T. Orr from the Dormont Presbyterian Church. They would lead us through this devo- tional service. From the moment Reverend W'olf stepped forward to offer the invocation and Reverend Uhl to read the scripture lesson, Baccalaureate progressed smoothly. Reverend X'Volf led the audience in a prayer for strength and guidance for which each senior felt genuinely grateful, and then Reverend Orr stood before the seniors. He was there to speak to them, and his message was one of logical advice. One may have a full tank of gasoline in his automobile, said Rev- erend Orr, but he only wastes his fuel if he doesn't know where he is going. So it is with the graduating class. Each senior is endowed with certain talents. The development of these if gg. .... ss REVEREND JAMES T. OKR Dormont Presbyterian Church talents and then using them to gain our ob- jectives in life is the difference between success and failure. The path of success is most assuredly difficult, and one must be prepared to put into his life much more than he expects to receive. Yet with faith in God, one's fellow-men. and the world in which one lives, success can be achieved. l'Vith the conclusion of Reverend Orr's inspiring sermon, the benediction was given by Reverend Uhl. There was a choral response, and the Baccalaureate service ended on the beautiful notes of the hymn Abide Y'Vith Me . REVEREND HAROLD j. UHL Bethany Evangelical Lutheran Church REVEREND CHARLES R. XVOLF Dormont Methodist Church R ss The C ass Cf I957 Graduates The Dormont High School stadium was ablaze with lights on the evening of June 4, l957, for it was there that commencement exer- cises were being held for one hundred eleven seniors. The faculty, their hlack caps and gowns con- trasting attractively with the blue and white robes of the seniors, led the processional on to the Iield to the music of the traditional Pomp and Circuinstancen. Following the invocation by Reverend Charles R. XfVolf of the Dormont Methodist Church, three speeches the theme of which was A Liberal Education were given by Sue Bilby, High Honor, Dave Anderson, Saluta- torian, and Jim Keller, Valedictorian. The pro- gram continued with a stirring arrangement of America-Our Heritage by the Senior Chorus. As the applause died away, the main speaker rose to present his special address entitled It's No Sham Battle . He was instantly recognized as The Very Reverend N. R. H. Moore, D.D., Dean of Trinity Cathedral. The presentation of diplomas was a happy and long-awaited event for the seniors. One hy one the seniors proceeded to the platform as Mr. Nelf called their names. The Very Reverend N. R. H. Moore, D.D., Dean of Trinity Cathedral and speaker for the Dormont High School connnencemcnt exercises. Mr. Bryan presented each student his diploma, the symbol of a job well done.
