Dedication MR. RALPH E. DRESCH A Tribute MRS. NAN SCOWDEN In appreciation of her twenty-nine years of successful and loyal service as a teacher and a principal in the Elementary Schools of Farrell, Pennsylvania, the boys and the girls of our schools today and yesterday as well as the teachers and the administration of the Farrell School District wish Mrs. Nan Scowden the best of health and happiness for the balance of her life which we hope will be many years to come. In Memoriam MISS GWENDOLYN BROWN To Miss Gwendolyn Brown, a teacher and a friend, who served faithfully and well thousands of the boys and the girls jn the Farrell Public Schools during the past twenty-two years, we pay honor and respect to her memory—a memory that will live forever in the hearts and the minds of her friends and her former students. Miss Brown passed away on October 18, 1947. To Miss Gwendolyn Brown SHE LIVED A LIFE What was her creed? I do not know her creed, I only know That here below, she walked the common road And lifted many a load, lightened the task, Brightened the day for others toiling on a weary way This, her only meed; I do not know her creed. What was her creed? I never heard her speak Of visions rapturous, of Alpine peak Of doctrine, dogma, new or old; But this I know, she was forever bold To stand alone, to face the challenge of each day, And live the truth, so far as she could see— The truth that evermore makes free. Her creed? I care not what her creed; Enough that never yielded she to greed, But served the children in their daily need; Plucked many a thorn and planted many a flower; Glorified the service of each hour; Had faith in God, herself, and fellow-men;— Perchance she never thought in terms of creed; I only know she lived a life, in deed! —H.

We had hardly become accustomed to the maze we found ourselves in when we elected our class officers. Under the guidance of Mr. Stephen Marin, our class advisor, wfe chose Thomas Ballish, president; Roland Tallarico, vice-president, and Gloria Chiodo, secretary. Later on, when we got our bearings, so to speak, we took part in all extra-curricular activities. Our Spring Dance, which we sponsored as the last event in our Freshman year, had all the trimmings of a Junior-Senior Prom. With our first year in Farrell High School rapidly drawing to a close, we looked forward to our Sophomore year. We, the Class of 1948, again entered Farrell High School in September, 1945— one step nearer our goal. We were no longer Freshies, but Sophomores, who were quick to show the Freshmen that we were their upper-classmen. Under the capable leadership of Miss Margaret Roux, our class advisor, we re-elected Thomas Ballish as president, with Clarence Dobrowolski and Mildred Klapack serving as vice-president and secretary, respectively. Again we participated very actively in extra-curricular affairs—the Canteen was one of them. In the spring, we held a joint Freshman-Sophomore dance, and this highly successful affair marked the close of our first two years in high school. Under the direction of Miss Julia Wallace, now Mrs. William Jenkins, we elected Thomas Ballish, president; Francis Petrillo, vice-president, and Mildred Klapack, secretary for our Junior class officers. As attendants to the Senior Harvest Queen, we chose Eleen Zahariou and Serena Tizio to represent our class. The last social affair of our Junior year was the annual Junior-Senior Prom, at which we played hosts to the Seniors. Our sincerest thanks go to Mr. Paul Komar for assisting in the decorations which employed a “Blossom Time” theme, and also to faculty members who helped make the Prom a success, and one which we will look back on with many pheasant memories. Thus, with three successful years behind us, we entered our Senior year in 1947 with Miss Esther Zentz as our class advisor. Under her direction, we elected William Gabella as president, Howard Allen as vice-president, and Gerald Paulson as secretary. Our first social activity was the Homecoming Dance with Eleen Zahariou reigning as Queen and Dolores Haney and Serena Tizio acting as Senior Attendants. Next, we chose “Forever Forward” as our class motto; powder blue and brown as our class colors; and the red rose as our class flower. Finally, we were guests of the Juniors at the Junior-Senior Prom on May 7, 1948. On May 17, we, the Class of 1948, held our class breakfast in the cafeteria, after which we presented our Farewell Program to the student body in the auditorium. After the presentation of the cap and gown by William Gabella to Walter Kaletka, Junior class president, we left for a day of fun at Conneaut Lake for our Class Day activities. We attended Baccalaureate services on May 23. On May 25, we attended our Commencement exercises in traditional cap and gown and prepared to commence into the world— to help write the peace and to help preserve it.

The 1947 Football Season With Coach Anthony Paulekas succeeding Coach LeRoy “Hank” Day as grid mentor, the Farrell High School football team left for football camp at the Great Lakes Camp for Boys on August 18. Under the hottest August sun seen in years. Coach Paulekas and his squad prepared for the opening game with Greenville. Coach Paulekas appointed Francis Petrillo, Paul Adams and Thomas Ballish co-captains for the forthcoming season. SEPTEMBER 5 GREENVILLE 6-18 A well conditioned Night Rider Squad opened its 1947 season with an impressive 18-6 triumph over Greenville. Keryan started the show with a forty yard touchdown jaunt, in the first quarter. The second quarter was comparatively quiet. Greenville came to life in the third quarter when a touchdown march was set up by a pass interception. After a series of plays, Greenville scored. Early in the final quarter, Ballish recovered a blocked kick by Nicastro in the Greenville end zone for a touchdown. Farrell again capitalized on another blocked punt for the final tally of the night. The Night Rider forward wall was superb in limiting Greenville to eleven net yards gained by rushing. The 1947 Football Season SEPTEMBER 12 MEADVILLE 7-7 The next Friday evening, the Night Riders went to battle with the Meadville Bull Dogs. In a drenching rain storm, the Night Riders scored shortly before halftime. It was fleet-footed Keryan who skirted left end for 16 yards and a touchdown to climax a 45 yard touchdown drive. On a bad pass from center, A1 Paulekas was forced to run for the extra point instead of kicking. Opening the third quarter, the Bull Dogs scored on a 77-yard touchdown play. Although the statistics were heavily in Farrell’s favor, “fumbleitis” stopped them from scoring any more. SEPTEMBER 19 VANDERGRIFT 12-0 Vandergrift, defending WPIAL champion with a host of veterans, greeted the returning Night Riders, with their first defeat of the current grid campaign. Flashing a deceptive offense coupled with fine passing, Vandergrift scored twice in the first half. The Night Riders were definitely in the game all the way, but they w'ere never able to cross the final marker. The forward wall of Farrell again played magnificently, and the “Vandies” just couldn’t penetrate it. SEPTEMBER 26 ELLWOOD CITY 18-0 Farrell High invaded the Wolverine stadium for their second WPIAL game and ran into a keyed up Ellwood City squad who completely mastered the game throughout. Scoring once in each of the first, second, and third quarters, the W olv erin)es were never in trouble. This was definitely the worst form the Night Riders were to show' all season. Although the Night Riders tried gamely to fight back, they never had the drive enough to score. The game ended with the Night Riders on the Ellwood City 2-yard line. OCTOBER 3 CAMPBELL MEMORIAL 6-7 Determined to show' better form than they did the previous week at Ellwood City, the Night Riders battled and fought Campbell Memorial for three scoreless quarters. During this time, Farrell missed several opportunities by driving deep into Memorial’s territory only to have their attack bog down. Memorial scored first on a 30-yard touchdown run, off tackle, midway through the final canto. Time was running out and everything looked dark when suddenly the Paulekasmen connected for a touchdown on a pass from Keryan to Staul who lateraled to Yazvac who ran the remaining six yards to paydirt. With the crowd tense and w'aiting, Samuel Nicastro calmly booted the extra point, winning the game. OCTOBER 10 NEW CASTLE 6-6 Playing an impressive brand of determined football, the hard charging Night Riders knocked previously undefeated and untied New' Castle from the ranks of the WPIAL AA with a 6-6 deadlock. This eliminated them from title consideration. Before 10,000 fans the 18 point underdogs battled the Red Hurricanes completely off iheir feet. Keryan scored first for Farrell on a fourth dowrn by smashing over from the 3-yard line. New Castle scored on the final play of the game, via a desperate pass. Hailstock and Keryan were the big ground gainers on the attack for Farrell. The stalwart “unsung heroes” of the line stopped the vaunted New Castle running attack cold. The 1947 Football Season OCTOBER 17 BEAVER FALLS 27-13 A brilliant passing attack and heads-up football helped the Beaver Falls “Tigers” hand Farrell their third defeat of the season 27-13. Beaver Falls scored first, but Farrell roared back up the field and scored themselves. Beaver Falls scored again in the second period, but Farrell scored again just before halftime. This left the score at halftime 14-13 in favor of Beaver Falls. In the last half, it was Beaver Falls who pushed over two more touchdowns to bring the final total to 27-13. Keryan scored both Farrell touchdowns. Nicastro connected for one out of two extra points. OCTOBER 24 ROCHESTER 12-12 The valiant Night Riders won for themselves the title of “Leading Spoilers” in the WPIAL by eliminating the Rochester Rams from the ranks of the undefeated and thereby squelching all of Rochester’s hopes for title consideration. Just two weeks ago Farrell had dealt New Castle the same fate. Rochester came to Farrell with plenty of morale, pep, and spirit. However, they came to town on the wrong night, for the Night Riders had been inspired by a loyal and determined student body. Rochester scored first, but on the kickoff that followed, the Night Riders marched up the field and scored with Hailstock going over from the 4. Farrell scored again early in the final quarter on a pass from Hailstock to Keryan. They held this lead until late in the quarter. Rochester then pushed over the final tally, tying the score. NOVEMBER 7 SHARON 0-0 Concluding a successful season, the Night Riders battled the Tigers from neighboring Sharon to a scoreless deadlock. Twice Farrell penetrated deep into Sharon’s territory only to be halted by a stubborn bunch of Tigers. Fan-ell was as close as Vz yard from the final white marker. The closest Sharon was to the Farrell 20. A highly touted Sharon aerial attack was checked so closely that Sharon completed only two passes during the game. The final game of the year brought praise to all of the boys on the Night Rider squad. Thus in the four years of high school for our class, we own the dubious distinction of never losing a football game to Sharon. The crowd and both teams showed extremely fine sportsmanship. 1947 FOOTBALL RECORD September 5 Greenville 6 Farrell 18 September 12 Meadville 7 Farrell 7 September 19 Vandergrift 12 Farrell 0 September 26 October 3 18 Farrell 0 Campbell Memorial 6 Farrell 7 October 10 New Castle Farrell 6 October 17 October 24 Reaver Falls 27 Farrell 13 Rochester 12 Farrell 12 November 7 Sharon 0 Farrell 0 Varsity Football 64 Varsity Football Squad, Senior Players, Football Reserves Varsity Football Squad First Row: George Keryan, Gasper Guerino, Alfonso James, Emanuel Hailstock, Victor DeVito, Frances Petrillo, Paul Adams, Thomas Ballish, Claude Gibson, Samuel Leyshock, Julio Perri, Samuel Nicastro, Gerald Staul, Alfred Paulekas.
