Remember that football game? Yes, but that was nothing compared to I remember when ... We Seniors have a lot of memories. Of all the good times we've had and all the trouble we've caused The Latin lessons where we treated Caesar worse than he troate-d the Gaulsg The letters we wrote in typing class that wouldn't even have reached the post office, and all the phony excuses we've forged, lt seems as if we were always looking forward to Graduation. It was a magic word. Now that we have arrived, we're not sure we want it all to end. All the fun and excitement and importance of being a Senior. But for all this looking back, we are really eager to get out on our own. Life will hold so many new and wonderful experiences for us. The school has helped us as far along as it can, and now the rest is up to us. 2 xi' :Na ylt vi 5 'J y Cs! 19 , Z ly If l t 'ri N yzffx R Y X.: f I gk r QLLA, is-s, l yt ls 4' fn?-. ,1,..i-ns if ,ff N VM ' 'xlx F ' 71 '-.

As seniors, we have had the advantage of using the library for only a year, but still ap- preciate the help it has been to us. The library, and other improve- ments around the school, make us proud of our Alma lvlater. This yearbook is dedicated to the nevv library because it symbolizes the spirit of progress in the school. The open and spacious room is a striking place and a pleasure in which to work. For all its modern de'cor and beauty, practicability has not been sacrificed. We recognize the vvork and effort that have been put forth in obtaining this library for us. The dedication of the yearbook to the library and its use as our theme is only a small part of this realization. The fulfillment of this library will come in future years, as the students following us come to use and appreciate it. For the library, for the opportunity to learn, for the chance to do things for ourselves, and for all the other benefits, we say thank you to the administration, lx X i X Q-+ L X ti ' f 1 Nw it X -ff' 5 Superintendent Dr. Beamer, a graduate of the Pennsylvania State University, is now serving his third term as Superintendent of the East Pittsburgh Schools.

Senior Class History Four years ago, three groups of students from different schools started their Freshman year. They were confused and unacquainted with the school building, activities and customs, but soon began planning for their careers, choosing whichever course suited them. After settling down to work, the class organized and held elections. Paul Kelly was elected President, Ray Oyler, Vice President, Janet Mazuer, Secretary and Ronald Auld, treasurer. Home room lO7 won the first prize in the JuniorXHigh Christmas contest because it was the neatest and best decorated room. Later in the year the class started a long line of activities by holding a dance. The participation of all the students in the dance ended the year with success. As Sophomores, the class was even busier. Most of the students were chorus members who participated in the operetta The Fortune Teller. The class was proud of Kay Ryan, who had one of the leading roles. Martha Flint and Ali Murtaza joined the class in their Sophomore year. Martha was talking when she came and hasn't stopped talking yet. Paul Kelly and Ray Oyler again received the two top class offices, with Kay Kontos as Secretary, Janet Mazuer as Treasurer and Kathleen Auld as Class Historian. ln our Junior year we planned even more activities. During the elections a tie occurred in the vote for secretary between L. Brannigan and K. Auld. Ordinarily the President Tom Carrigg would take care of this as a matter of course. But in this case Tom had occasions to turn several shades of red before choosing his girlfriend Laurelee. Tom Carrigg was chosen as President, Kay Kontos as Vice President, Janet Mazuer as Treasurer and Mildred Galla as Class Historian. And speaking of ties during the sale of magazines Mildred Galla and Liz DePaulo each had the same amount sold on the afternoon the drive was to close. By four o'clock the tie was broken, but both girls were awarded watches for their efforts. Ralph Silvy was an addition to our class after Christmas. The most exciting event of the year was our class play Smarter and Smoother. It was presented under the direction of Mr. John Good, with Betty Jean Bellas and Tommy Pomper in the lead roles. A ioint dinner party with the Seniors ended a very active year, leaving us very eager to become Seniors. This year we outdid even our Junior class record. Our Senior class officers were: Ray Oyler-President Tommy Carrigg-Vice President Janet Mazuer-Secretary Kay Kontos-Treasurer Genevieve Malile-Class Historian Our Graduation pictures and class rings took up some of our time and most of our money. Our Christmas spirit came from two sources, the sale of Christmas Cards and the aid we gave to the project of buying toys for orphaned and hospitalized children. December l was the date of the Senior Play, under the direction of Mrs. Helen Morgan. The name of the play was Murder in Rehearsal. This mystery turned into a very good play with a surprise ending. The most exciting event was the Prom, a really gala event that was worth waiting for. Later on, a Senior King and Queen presided over a beauti- ful May Festival. At the very last, there was Graduation. Forty students marched slowly down the aisle to receive their diplomas. Some were sad, and some were happy, but all had fond memories of their school years. 24 ,,,Lp,, .e . hs. sq .g 5 . at '- -A-X in M- 4-V if vw- viuhw Qfam rv-5 LVM I Class Officers First Row: Mary Lou O'Horo, secretory, Doris Oyler, treusurerp Second Row: Robert Wilson, presidentf Ronald Sundin, vice-presidentg Miss Monlos, advisor. .fi J First Row!P.

Our first dance was well attended, and everyone seemed anxious to participate in every activity. Our Class ofticers for our Sophomore Year were: President, Ray Jackson, Vice President, Robert Wilson, Secretary, Doris Oyler, and Treasurer, Delvo Behbi. We also had a class dance this year. We excitedly started our Junior Year by electing the following officers: .gfix ,A President Robert Wilson Vice President Ronald Sundin Secretary J Mary Lou O'Hara Treasurer . Doris Oyler We then began our Magazine Sales. Al- though it was a struggle, and we couldn't sell as many magazines as we would like to have sold, we did fairly well. i'p54l worth of magazines were sold with Margie Tomer receiving first prize. Our play was loads of fun, as well as work, and now we're looking forward to that Big, Big night, the Prom. 5 . 4 x N-f L Y .4-Q3 A Class Officers .

The band performed for the various activities and was appreciated by the student body. Groups of students received instrumental lessons from Mr. Emburg. The school can be proud of the band and its performances. The maiorettes assisted in the new look by changing many of their routines and putting a lot of spirit into their twirling. Success was achieved through the co-operation of Carole Peterson, Lolly Brannigan, Gerry Baker, Kay Ryan and Velda Pfeiffer, who alter- nated as head maiorettes. 46 - v-..-., Cheerleaders During their four years of cheering, Jean Pottinger and Janet Mazuer never seemed to lose their school spirit in a tough game, but faithfully supported the team.

They played several Class A teams and showed a good account ot themselves. With a tevv breaks in the other direction some ot the close ones might have gone the other way. Although the team is losing three or tour regulars next year, they hope to improve on this year's record. Playing football is not all glory by a long shot. It is a lot ot hard work involving many, many hours ot practice. lt takes team spirit to keep trying so hard when the scores do not tally up. One thing, you cannot say that they did not really try. A lot of credit also goes to the coaches-Mr. Flood and Mr. Mihalco. Theirs is no easy task. Thanks. ...- 1 MN D. Cook on the go. 1 umm!! mundo ! N .. .ww ' Y XXX Prix , X A., -n Going, going, gone.
