L IN MEMORIAM On behalf of the Class of '54, we, the Echo Staff, deem it a pleasure and a privilege to dedicate our yearbook in memory of Mr. Fred C. Gillespie, teacher, principal, and superintendent of Du- quesne Puhlic Schools for 41 years, Mr. Gillespie saw the light of day on December 5, 1889 at Mingo Junction, Chic. He passed away on lVlarch 22, I954 at the McKeesport Hospital. As years go by, he will always be re- membered in the hearts of everyone. No girls allowed! Sum, Are you really studying? The clay approaches when we will receive our diplomas and take our stand among the men and WOl11en of the world. Solue of US go to college, while others will settle Clown to some joh. Whatever our goal may be, we hope it will he a successful one. The thought of all the pleasant memories we cherish cluring our school days will always he remembered. Hope the best man wins. Is it safe now? OUR YEAR UNFOLDS IN GALA STORY, TYPE AND IN PICTURE N DING, RETURNED TO REA ' ITHMETIC ,RIT INC AND R 285 ag L .

KONVOLINKA Superintendent The eminence that Duquesne High had achieved and maintained in fields, scholastic, athletic. and extra-curricular is based primarily on the close, wholehearted cooperation of ad- ministration, faculty, and student cooperation, Xvithout the supervision and perseverance of Mr. Gillespie, Mr. Henry, Mr. Kowallis, the Board of Education, and aided by three com- petent secretaries, the school system would cease to exist. The administration's work embraces the end- less chain of detail which is removed and un- noticed hy the casual visitor at Duquesne Schools. However, one more evident act, the School Board approved, was the new insurance plan designated for the safety of the students. With the help of the Administration, every single factor necessary for the development of well-rounded citizens is present. No feature of school life is omitted that will help to form good American characters that will be a credit to their country, First Row, l. to r.-Mr. Falvo, Mr. Staisey, Miss Kenney. Second Row-Mr. Micklo, Mr. Weiss, Mr. Henry, Mr. Reed, Mr. Roper, Mr. Smith, Mi'. Allshouse. From L RAY Y. HENRY Principal After I6 years of distinguished service to Du- quesne High School, as superintendent, Mr. Gillespie resigned. His devotion and earnest- ness will never be forgotten by the faculty, alumni, and many others who came in contact with him. Dr. Harold S. Konvolinka succeeded him. For the past 16 years, Mr. Henry, principal of Duquesne High School, has endeared him- self to every pupil in Duquesne High because of his willingness to consider their problems and lend a helping hand. Mr. Kowallis, assis- tant principal since 1953, has lightened Mr. Henry's load of responsibilities. The four efficient secretaries had brightened our school with their smiling faces and their readiness to help everyone. When walking into their offices, the secretaries were always doing some kind of a job, whether large or small. By working together, the supervisors and their assistants were always on their feet trying to make Duquesne High School a greater place for learning. WILLIAM S. KOWALLIS Vice Principal Secretaries, l. to r.-Mrs. Lemak, Miss Harvey, Miss Hrebenach Miss Kenney. nmng to end, they helped us in countless ways . . K NNW iw ul.-w FACULTY Yes, but I was here first.

This group has in mind learning the business of manufacturing and selling. Stocks were sold at 25c a share. A meeting in which dividends were declared and new ofhcers were elected was held in May. The ofhcers this year were: Russell Peckman, president, Michael Sabol, vice-president, Jo- seph Sirianni, secretary, and Ernest Tech, treas- urer. This year's main product was Easy-ons, the convenient way of placing chains on tires. VOCATIO AL GROUPS Machine and Electric With the assistance of Mr. McGaw, Mr. Ben- jeski, and Mr. Schimpf, the vocational groups added meritable projects to the shops. The largest segment of construction is the 56M training board constructed by Art Rodich. Precise measurement was of great value to Richard Nebinski in his effort to complete a miniature model motor. In the Machine Shop, Jack Kelly demonstrated expert skill in making a grinder. Numerable vocationalists observe this saying, The only way to kill work is to work it to death. BEST ALI.

It has been said that since the freshmen don't know anything, and the sophomores think they know everything, while the seniors know they know everything, it is up to the juniors to run the school. The class of 1955 did run the school as well as they could. There were juniors, and plenty of them, in almost every extra-curricular activity. Every pupil in high school will long remember marching in and out of the audi- torium accompanied by the organ which was played by Norma Barber or Beverly Vaniel. Also the Girls' Quartet was composed entirely of juniors who were Mary Ann Semanisin, Kathryn Butchko, Nancy Mailey, and Beverly Vaniel. Elections were held and those chosen for the class ofhces were: Alex Girhiny, presidentg Marsha McCarty, vice-president, Carol Ann Byrnes, secretary, and Dorothy England, treas- urer. They did such a fine job that they were also elected as senior class ofhcers for next year. The cheerleaders were composed of four juniors who always succeeded in perking up the school spirit of the students. As a whole, the juniors had a very successful year and look forward to their senior year with determination and conhdence. Looking forward to becoming seniors. OFFICERS President . ,.

The doors of Duquesne High School were opened on September 2, 1953 to allow the pu- pils to enter. Through the doors passed 324 bewildered sophomores. The first few days were a little complicated for all, and a few lost stragglers even got into the wrong classes, but they learned quickly. Soon they became as much a part of D. H. S. as the much envied seniors. During the first week of April, elections were held. The class chose Edward McNamara as capable president. Helping Ed was Richard Capristo, an efficient vice-president. Keeping the class records was Martha Ann Toboz, a secretary who worked hard. Norman Lazor, treasurer, handled all financial affairs. The youngest members of the student body were initiated into almost every extra-curricular activity, allowing them to enter into the social life and adding it to their formal education in high school. Top stars were Chuck Jaskulski, who showed terrific action on the football fieldg Paul Ko- paslco, a 200 yard free-style starg and Eugene Robertson, Norman Lazor, and Abe Knight, shooting experts of the Junior Varsity. Much can be expected from the Class of 756.9 That way to Room 104. President Vice-Pres.

A 1' THE ECHO just as New York has its oysters and Boston has its beans, Duquesne I-Iigh has its ECHO. The ECHO proved profitable dur- ing the 53-54 term. Although only four issues of the paper were pub- lished, Marilyn Wagner, Editor, and the other staff heads, worked hard to make it a big success. Money for maintenance of the paper was obtained by selling re- freshments at the basketball games, showing movies, selling name cards and pictures, and also, the students, patronage in buying the ECHO. Mr. Lucian Clipfel, Adviser, was always at our side to lend a helping hand, when we needed some advice on writing and handing out articles. Due to the smallness of the ECHO staff, Rena Berkovitz, a jun- ior girl, became head of the sports section of the newspaper. Just before the paper was pub- lished, you should have seen Mari- lyn Wagner running around the building to make sure everything was in order.

Y-TEEN S Most numerous of organizations is the Y- Teens which consist of three hundred and three members under the faculty adviser, Miss Julia Clemens. They worked enthusiastically in cre- ating the tremendous influence they have in Duquesne High School. Topping the personality list, Corrine Reed with her superior work, ability, and earnestness, made her presidency an outstanding one. Tak- ing care of the financial part of the club was Barbara Vucic, while Nancy Mailey kept the minutes of their meetings. Highlighting the events this year was the Pink and Silver Ball with Tut Negley and his orchestra. Everyone has one everlasting mem- ory of the evening. Thanks go to the vice- president, Virginia Madeya, whose efforts made it such an outstanding success. Miss Marlene Gairnall, an Earl Wheeler model, gave the Y-Teens the do's and don'ts Y? N. Mailey, V. Madeya, C. Reed, B. Vucic. of charm and personality. Nlary Ann Semanisin presented a unique Christmas program. An old-fashioned square dance was held in October with Smokey McGowan calling the figures. A Father and Daughter Party brought many of the Y-Teens' fathers out to an enjoy- able evening. A Mother's Tea and a swimming party headed the social calendar. Besides having a very successful social year, the 1953-1954 Y-Teens were successful in reaching their goals to so many Duquesne girls. Among the guest speakers this year was Mrs. Helen Liddle, M.D. A dress-up dance was held in February. The Y-Teens also served the Commencement Dinner to the senior Y-Teens. Several girls spent enjoyable time reading to the children in McKeesport Hospital. Many Y-Teens helped the Community Chest Drive by soliciting for them. Thanks again go to Miss Julia Clemens, Cor- rine Reecl, and her hard striving cabinet.

Governing the student body and promoting most of the school activities, the student coun- cil, with Mr. Clarence Greenway as its guiding light, has had a very successful year. This active group consists of 38 members from the sophomore, junior, and senior classes. One outstanding feature was the decorating of each homeroom preceding the Christmas season. A radio, purchased by the council, was given to the room in each class with the most original theme for its decoration. With the aid of the Wallace Chime Trio, Lew Hershey, Pruth MacFarland, and other entertainers, the pupils received a varied pro- gram of education, humor, and music. With the honor of acting as state secretary received at the Forty-Fourth Convention last year, Duquesne was represented by five mem- bers at West View on October 22, 23, and 24 with Mary Ann Kordich acting as secretary to this convention. Another new feature was Brotherhood Week which was held in February. Three ministers from various churches aided in the program. The highlight of the year was the senior recep- tion that took place in May. Because of the cooperation of the members and the ability of the officers who consisted of Paul Balta, president, Ronald Ray, vice- president, Mary Ann Kordich, secretaryg and Arlene Betoty, treasurer, many things were worked out. Several members attended a convention at Ambridge in April. First Row, l. to r.-B. Vucic. M. Bajus. M. A. Kordich. J, No- vak. Second Row-P. James, D. Vc- her, E. Stephenson. M. Yenco. P. Stephenson.

The purpose of the club was to stress the importance of what an employer seeks in an efficient employee and to gain confidence in poise and personality. With the assistance of movies, prominent speakers, and short skits given by the members of the club, the girls ob- tained vital information which will promote them in their different fields of life. One outstanding speaker of the year was Dr. Finkelhor, the dean of Business Training Col- lege in Pittsburgh. College Interest The informative, but informal discussions of the College Interest group answered the ques- tions of all seniors contemplating advanced edu- cation. John Butchko, the able president, as- sisted Mrs. Kemerer, the adviser, in securing many interesting speakers for the club. The program for the year included talks by several college directors, and college students. The vice-president, Marlene Sharog the secre- tary, Eleanor Ivoryg and the program chairman, Elaine Terlizzi, arranged these gatherings. Une of the highlights of the year was the panel dis- cussion given at Christmas time by former stu- dents of Duquesne High School who attend college. . . . CLUBS LANGUAGES Spanish Club Miss Forrest, the faculty adviser, along with the ofiicers of the Spanish Club, planned a very interesting party for Christmas. The program consisted of traditional Christ- mas carols sung in Spanish, a number of brief talks given by Loretta Terlizzi, Robert Gasser, and Michael Hrizo on Spanish cities, ways of living, and Spanish dress. The pinata is the traditional game for birthday parties and played during Christmas in Mexico. Refreshments were served. The entire year was spent acquainting them- selves with Spanish customs.

French Club The familiar strains of La Marsielles, the French National Anthem, opens the monthly meeting of the French Club. Mlle. Hazel Stewart, efiicient adviser of the group, was a source of inspiration and help to presidents, Margaret Bajus and Robert Webb, as well as to the whole French Club. Much effort was put into planning the an- nual French assembly program given for the faculty and students of the school. Le Cercle Francais believes in having a won- derful time while learning to speak French. German Club Tier, Gemuse, oder Merall might be heard at a German Club meeting. The informal pro- grams consisted of various reports on German culture and the lives of Famous Germans. A movie, The Rise and Fall of the German Armyf' was shown, and games were played during the year. Bernard Pisascich, a capable leader, presided with the aid of John Butchlco, vice-president, and Joseph Cali, secretary. Miss Forrest, whose efforts were shown by encouraging results of the meetings, provided much help and guidance. ORGANIZATIONS Put their heart into all they did. Prove Art Club The Art Club has held its weekly class in the art room at Junior High School for a num- ber of years, but finally provisions have been made to have the class transferred to the Sen- ior High School. This was made possible by the construction of the new library. The Art Club has found this change more convenient for the students interested in art. All necessary arrangements are being made by Miss Wright to resume classes in their new lo:ation as soon as possible. Debate Club The Debate Club, whose name is the Forum, completed a very successful year under the supervision of its faculty adviser, Mr. Paul Village. Its members learned the fundamentals of de- bating and how the President of the United States should be elected. The group made several radio broadcasts during American Education Week, and parti- pated in debates with other schools, as well as intra-squad debates. Its officers included Carol Ochtun, presidentg Audrey Obroslcy, vice-presidentg Raymond Dickerson, treasurerg Patricia Lowery and Thomas Korbanic, secretaries. ART CLUB Fi noske. V. Glovis. P.

A Cappella Choir Organized in 1951, the a cappella choir developed into an active choral group under the direction of Miss Maude Witherson. Devoting four periods a weelc to practice, the a cappella choir entertained school, civic, and church audiences with sacred and secular compositions. Accompanying the choir through endless re- hearsals, Norma Barber proved tireless. The responsibility of managing rhe choir rested upon thc shoulders of the ofhcers. Ida Mae I-lerder, acting as president, along with the help of vice-president, Autumn Kapples, proved cap- able of their ability to handle their positions. The financial affairs remained with the treas- urer, Williaiii Martin. Thomas Sullivan, secre- tary of the choir, kept an accurate record of all meetings. The Hallelujah Chorus intrigued its audi- ences during an early chapel program. Another successful number was the Showboat Medley.,' A great privilege was bestowed upon Thomas Sullivan, a faithful choir member, who sang with the All-State Chorus at Meadville. Lois Smith, Georgene Graw, Mark Bogasilc, and Thomas Smith also attended the Western District Chorus at Vanclergrift. es I l O I t's Songtime! GIRLS' QUARTET liirsx Row. l, to r.7K. liutrliko. N.

ORGANIZATIONS Instruments and voices were usually hea The Naturals A well-rounded music curriculum isn't com- plete unless it has touched the modern vein of good, legitimate jazz. This has been the objec- tive of Mr. Silagy, the very able and versatile conductor of these few and well qualified musi- cians from the high school Band. The organization itself was on a voluntary hasisg the participants giving much of their free time and effort toward bettering the Band for posterity. If, through the course of the year, the Nat- urals have pleased their audiences, their objec- tive had been reached. Sophomore Girls' Chorus The largest choral group was the Sophomore Girls' Chorus which bubbled over with enthu- siasm to please all their listeners. As all other choral groups in our high school this one, too, was under the direction of the most inspiring Miss Maude Witherson. When you combine her patience and the cooperation of all the girls, you have the most pleasing sound that offered much competition to the choral groups of their upperclassmen. The accompanist at all times was Mari-io lVlanns. THE NATURALS liars! Row, l. in Cali Gnydos. Ii. lilvlnu-ui. R Dudinak. Second Row - R. Nlaroskn. R Simon. liuiflxko. VU. 4.hi-gi anoslce.

The girls went alternating periods every week, but attended practices on Tuesday and Friday. The songs worked on this year included Ro- mancew from the Desert Song, Spanish Gar- densf' Forest I-lymnf' and a medley of Strauss Waltzes. The chorus was under the direction of Miss Maude Witherson, with Carol Ann Byrnes and Mary Jane Thompson as pianists. TRIPLE TRIO First Row, l. to r.-B. Vaniel D. Renda. E. Abbott. L. Smith E.

The blending of voices brought many pleasant hot Triple Trio Radiating warmth and vitality was this year's Girls' Triple Trio. Their practices were happy affairs with Miss Maude Witherson joining in, to laugh with the girls at some of their antics. But the girls worked hard, and were in cle- mand to sing at the Spring Festival, for Y-Teen meetings, on the radio, and on a number of other occasions. Some of the songs included in their programs were Ave Maria, The Snow White Fantasief' and Smoke Gets in Your Eyes. String Ensemble To stimulate the musical instincts of our in- strumentalists heard in high school was the String Ensemble. Under the direction of Miss Witherson, this organization made several ap- pearances this year. The senior members of this group included Steve Martony, Mary Jane Thompson, and Pa- tricia Tamok. If, in a few years, you hear of a Duquesner playing a stringed instrument with a great sym- phonic orchestra, you'll know that they had reaped the benefits of the String Ensemble of D.I-I.S. ,S D.H.s.

Lois Smith was their accompanist, and Miss Maude Witherson was their capable and efh- cient director. This barber shop quartet con- sisted of Tommie Smith, Thomas Sullivan, George Binkney, and Steve Martony. Octette Diligent practice, coupled with youthful en- thusiasm, made the Mixed Octette one of the highlights of this year's entertainment. This group, under the direction of Miss Maude Witherson, and accompanied by Beverly Vaniel, built up a repertoire of various types of music which included When Day is Donef' ulndian Love Callf' With a Song in My Heart, and Thank God for a Gardenf' Some of their performances were heard in chapel programs, at the Christmas assembly, and at the Spring Festival.

Again, the Duquesne Dukes, coached by John Donelli, started the season with high hopes as a victorious team, only to have their dreams shattered when downed by Turtle Creek 21-14, after showing great form in their first three contests. The season opener was dis- appointing to fans, with Duquesne showing only flashes of form. Having waited a year to avenge their loss, the Dukes, led by little Bobby Green, won their first class AA tilt by downing the Brownies 40-19, That week, Green was chosen Back of the Week and made a TV appearance. The week of the Duquesne-McKeesport game was full of excitement. The team was ready for anyone or anything that night, but the Dukes had a tough break leaving lVlcKeesport on the short end of the string 20-16, losing by a safety. The Donellimen won their next two games, but were downed in the final contest by Clairton 28-6. Lady Luck seemed to be shining the other way throughout the season. James Kleist, for the second year, received a broken leg in the third game of the season. John Washko and Richard Bowen also were out of action because of broken legs. Herbert Nelson, a junior who suffered an eye injury, returned shortly. Pappy won a place on the All-District and All-State Squads. With almost half the regulars returning next year, the Dukes may go all the way. Hereis hoping! ' STOP! Showed joint action and fair play ALBERT TAGLIAVINI . . .

In view of the team's unimpressive record of 9 wins and 13 losses, Coach Lemmeris only defense was, A fine bunch of boys, they practiced hard and played to win, but just tightened up in the game. Coach Lemmer, hoping to jolt his cagers into a game winning team, frequently switched his starting lineup. This, with the inevitable prob- lem of poor shooting, explains the fruitless at- tempt to win honors. In the shalcedown of players, the juniors again received valuable, but much needed experience. The Dukes, while threatening the Section VI crown many times in past years, displayed signs of being victorious until bowing reluctant- ly to the big team in this year's league compe- tition, McKeesport. Perhaps Duquesne's best game was played at Munhall, with the Lemmcr- men losing in a heated, heartbreaking, over- time period. High-scoring Danny Feruclc. along with Gene Lightner, played in the Section VI All-Star game, representing Duquesne. Look ahead to a brighter future, for rhe Dulce is boasting a bigger and better season with Denne, Baran, Danko, Klein, Moore, Kurimslcy, and Coleman, promising to avenge this season's defeats. rr the future . .

The setbacks of the '53-'54 season occurred at the hands of Monessen, Clairton, and McKeesport. The sophomore squad displayed accurate shooting, excellent team-work, and revealed all- around ability for the entire year. Gene Robertson, a very promising center for future Duquesne High Basketball plans, paced the scoring column by tallying a total of 333 points. Other hopefuls, in a future Duke powerhouse team, are Abe Knight, Chuck Jus- kulski, Joe Sucevic, Alf Gooden, and Norm Lazor. With talent as these boys possess, perhaps the '54-'55 basketball season will see the Dukes basking in the glory of the Section champs, as they have done many times in the past.
