Vet most of the faculty are as much or more involved in life than those they teach—enjoying many of the same things that students do. Whether they’re working with community groups, enjoying the outdoors, competing athletically, browsing through the shopping center, or just being themselves makes them what they are and therefore a part of the ACADEMIC ANGLE. Faculty—11 Dr. Warren E. Howard—Superintendent A.B. Pennsylvania Military Academy M. Ed. Temple University Ed. D. Temple University Secretary to the chief administrator. Twila Pat- terson, checks over the typed agenda for an up- coming school board meeting. Dr. Howard Finds Job Rewarding, Gratifying As superintendent. Dr. Warren Howard was responsible for devising the budg- et, corroborating with the school board and generally supervising the total operation of the school district. He had to cope with the transition from nine elementary schools to the new multi-million elementary complex. The job has many responsibilities and demands but at the same time it is a rewarding and grati- fying experience.” (Dr. Warren Howard) Among the many concerns of Dr. Robert Ander- son, assistant superintendent, were curriculum development and the publication and distribution of a periodic bulletin which kept the people of the Forest Hills district up to date on the happen- ings in the school.

Penn State University 12—Administration Sworn in for his third term, Robert Chunta prepares to open the December meeting. Re-elected as officers were James Burkey, first vice-president; Anthony Nastase, sec- retary; Anthony Tanzely, treasurer; absent was Rodney Fye, second vice-president. Other board members include Gordon Smith, chairman of Per- sonnel and Policy Committee; Robert Beyer, Building and Grounds' chairman; Peter Skoner, Transportation chairman, and Dorothy Ruddek. Board Retains Chunta As Presiding Officer At the reorganization meeting held December 8, the board of school di- rectors re-elected Robert Chunta to a third term as president. Other officers retained were James Burkey, first vice president; Rodney Fye, second vice-president; Anthony Na- stase, secretary, and Anthony Tanzely, treasurer. Regular monthly meetings were held on the sec- ond Wednesday of each month in the conference room of the Forest Hills Senior High School at 7:30 p.m. Members of the student council attended the monthly meetings and voiced the student inter- ests on various subjects to the board. “The meet- ings gave me a first-hand insight of how the school board functions and of how involved the opera- tion of the school is. (Alan Krantzler) School Board—13 One of the duties of the principal was overseeing the ath- letic program. Here acting principal Edward Terek presents the Mountain Conference trophy to Michael Plnkas and Rick Keller, outstanding offensive and defensive members of the football team. Terek Assumes Role Of Acting Principal Edward Terek, former assistant prin- cipal of the junior high assumed the position of acting principal following a sabbatical leave by Joseph Madigan. During the absence of Mr. Madigan, Mr. Terek was responsible for all the duties of the principal. I assumed this job with some apprehension but after several months at the helm I have found it rather enjoyable and challenging. (Edward Terek) Assistant principal Sam Plummer continued with the running of the attendance office, conduct- ing of morning exercises and assisting Mr. Terek as the need arose. In charge of attendance, assistant principal Sam Plummer checks over an excuse being submitted by senior Terry Bertollno. Plummer, Sam—RD 1 Sidman B.S. Lock Haven M.Ed.

Dee Roberts and Millie Mitchell (below), two of the business office secretaries, pause for a moment to pose for the cameraman. Cafeteria Business, An Important Concern Cafeteria purchasing and supply is one of the chief concerns of the business office. Thomas Neff, business manager, in association with the head cook and purchasing agent, Henrietta Liska, is responsible for the cafeteria system. The business office also handles the payroll for all employees of the school district. “I enjoy work- ing here at the school’s business office and the job keeps me in contact with the students. (Dee Roberts) Working chiefly with cafeteria affairs, secretary Helen Forna- del notes changes in cafeteria food purchases. Business Officer—15 Checking blood pressures is part of the physical check-up required by the State. Here Clarann Hlllen- brand, school nurse checks junior Tom Kitchick. Elvopro Initiated By Special Services Dealing with special education, guidance, nursing, social work and school tru- ancy, special services act as a co- ordinating system for the student body. Besides the regular services, a new program has been initiated through the school social worker, Martha Kozar. In co-operation with the new ele- mentary school, Elvopro (Elementary Volunteer Program) offers students a chance to spend their study periods working with elementary students. After an initial response of over 150 people, the program boiled down to 35 or 40 regulars. These individuals acted as general aides, did secretarial work and helped kindergarten and art students on a one-to-one basis. ‘‘I found the program enjoyable and I felt good in giving some of my time to help others. (Col- leen Leach) Although the program was limited to seniors and juniors, sophomores were able to join at mid-year. Elvopro has given these kids an op- portunity to share their talents with the elemen- tary students. (Martha Kozar) Social worker Frank Leach studies a list of truancies to be dealt with. Truancy is becoming a big problem and Mr. Leach is kept busy checking out the numerous cases. 16—Special Services I As guidance director.

Aide Linda McCormick runs off some mimeo material needed by a teacher in an upcoming class. Multi-Purpose Tasks Performed By Group Working under the administration, the sec- retaries performed multi-purpose tasks. From aiding students to receiving school visitors, they were the unsung heroes of a demanding and varied schedule. “Whatever you needed the secretaries were there to help you. (Valerie Susko) The aides continued their duties in everything from collecting lunch money to mimeographing tests and worksheets. Along with assisting secretaries, they also served as a springboard for student queries. “As an aide I found it most enjoyable to work with the students and give help when needed.

Students aided in the tabulation of votes and compared the school results with the national results. See- ing the actual election procedure gave me a bet- ter understanding of class discussions. (Tammy Seese) Unlike last year the history modular courses grouped all seniors, juniors and sophomores homo- genously. Student reaction to the new grouping showed general approval. Likewise, teachers ap- proved ... “I find it easier to teach a class of the same level, and the students themselves are less inhibited in class discussions.

Opinions Differ With Restructuring Of Mini-Courses Opinions concerning the newly struc- tured mini-courses varied with the student body. It's a much better system; teachers no longer have to cram material because of a tight schedule.” Greg Wirfel) The new system limits the variety and flexibility of different classes with different teach- ers. (Kathy Kostick) The renovated mini-courses (twelve weeks in- stead of six) offered ten different courses and combined related topics of previous classes, such as science fiction and literature of the. super- natural and Broadway Musicals I and II. Some new courses were added. Latin and vocabulary study, for example. Under the new system, scheduling problems were greatly minimized. As a result, students did not lose too much time in schedule changes. “Having twelve weeks instead of six in which to teach research paper was a great help to me and the students. (Fran Matvay) English—23 Prior to the start of his plane geometry class, Michael Petrunak prepares a transparency to aid in the day's lesson. Having checked his senior math tests. Peter Gdula arranges the papers for recording. John Sunderland begins an experiment of distilling water for a senior science class. Calculus Added To Math Curriculum Due to students' need and desire for a more advanced math class, the math department added calculus to its cur- riculum. Taught by George Mesoras, the course proved an aid for college bound stu- dents. “As a future math major, I am thankful for this course, knowing that it will put me one step ahead of students whose high school does not of- fer it.” (Cindy Penatzer) For some reason or other the physics classes attracted more students than in the past. It was generally shunned because of its difficulty. Mr. Endler’s explanation for the upsurge was “stu- dents seem to like physics because they can re- late it to everyday situations, such as the speed and acceleration of cars. Examining a student's spore slide, George Pettorini (above) shows some concern with his findings. Assisting Lisa Hart with a chem equation.

Business Department Acquires Key Punch With the acquisition of a number of new business machines, commercial students were able to explore new fields of study. Among the new equipment was a data processing machine, more familiarly, a key punch. Students spent about six weeks of the office prac- tice course experimenting and working with it. The other new items which served as study aids included a dictating machine, three electronic calcu- lators and a wireless shorthand lab. “The new equip- ment has proven to be a successful innovation to our program and has made the students more well- rounded in the field.” (Frank Krentz) In a practical application of their studies, several business students spent some class time working at the local banks and the Forest Hills Credit Union. I was glad for a chance to put the things I learned to good use.” (Eva Smay) In his Business Machines class. Frank Krentz takes time out to put a new reel on an adding machine. 26—Business Education Language department chairman Hans Ruddeck (below) awaits an answer to a review question given to his German II class. Donna Gramling (bottom) assists Rose Ann Mucker in the construction of a pinata to be used by the Spanish class in a Christmas program for the elementary students. Spanish HS Performs For Elementary Kids Traditional Christmas celebrations for kindergarten students took a backseat to a Mexican-styled program originated by Mrs. Donna Gramling and her Span- ish III and IV classes in conjunction with the Span- ish Honor Society. A new approach was taken in Spanish IV. Class time was divided in six week mini-courses with the students given an option to take any one or all of the courses. Included in the courses were Con- versational, Spanish Culture, History and Geogra- phy, Prose, Poetry and Vocabulary. The mini- course system gave me a chance for an indepth study in the areas I was most interested. (Annette Smith) German students grappled with the language in the language lab under the tutelage of Hans Ruddeck. Film strips, cassettes and other visual aids were used by the students. With the use of headsets, tape recorders and cassettes, the stu- dents were better able to grasp the proper pro- nunciation, making them more affluent in speak- ing the German language.

Students Silkscreen Designs On T-Shirts Art students were able to become fash- ion designers as they learned the tech- nique of silk-screening in their art classes. With the help of Albert Damico, students were taught how to stencil their own designs on to a wax sheet and transfer them to T-Shirts or other garments. “The kids really picked this up quickly because they were so eager to see their own work professionally done.” (Albert Damico) Harmony classes were again taught under the supervision of Phillip Mollers and the chorus, under Sam Coco's direction, continued with its Christmas and Spring Concerts as well as taking part in the broadway musical. 28—Fine Arts Terry Crissey points out to Mark Barron, a senior shop stu- dent. the proper use of the large square. Practical Arts Adds Power Technology Repairing everything from lawn mowers to mini-bikes was part of the new practical arts course, power technology. Under the supervision of Terry Crissey, the new course instructed students in the care and maintenance of small engines. I found power tech to be one of the few courses which I could actually put to work for me.” (Alan Wirfel) As a new and different project the home-ec girls had fun with the stuffed animal sewing kits, complete with fur. However home-ec was not all fun and games as the girls learned the basics of sewing, cooking and bak- ing. I took home making because I feel that it was practical and will be valuable for me in the not too dis- tant future.” (Gina Webb) Kathleen Ronan (above) gets some needed utensils for her baking class.

Penny Matlin, physical follow. education instructor, awaits a go-sign from a student referee. Co-Ed Gym Classes Lauded, Criticized State legislation early in 1976 provided for a new concept in physical educa- tion—co-ed classes. The change evoked both criticism and praise from the student body. On the negative side, many girls thought the competition was visibly one-sided. Others felt that they were no longer participating as much as they had when the classes were seg- regated. I felt self-conscious and I don't really think any of the girls played as competitively as they did before. (Terry Bertolino) Students en- joying co-ed classes found them a good way to get to know their classmates. Many felt the mixed atmosphere was more fun. “The gym classes were much more relaxed.” (Joe Molnar) Faced with the change, instructors Charles Sponsky, Penny Matlin and the newest member of the trio Ruth Ann Biesinger adapted their pro- grams with little trouble. After teaching girls for 14 years, I enjoyed the new ideas and fresh outlook the boys brought to my classes.” (Penny Matlin) Prior to the start of his phys ed class, Charles Sponsky questions Terry Smith concerning a previous day's absence 30—Physical Education In the new 1977 Ford Ellas Kudrick, driving instructor, awaits a student driver A student was required to have six hours of driving experience prior to taking his test.

West Virginia University Patience Required In Teaching Driving Patience is a must for any driver educa- tion teacher. I don't know who would have had the patience and courage to teach me to drive if Mr. Kudrick hadn’t?” (Holly Law) In that vein another crop of 16-year olds learned defensive and courteous driving skills. In safety education class sophomores became acquainted with driving theory and familiar with the workings of a car. After 39 years of teaching in various fields, instructor William Lee is retiring. There were al- ways those moments in which I was a little un- nerved but I am very happy to have been able to help students become good safe drivers. (William Lee) Planning to show a film in a safety ed class, William Lee picks it up at the main office. All sophomores were required to take a safety ed class for one semester. Driver Education—31 Custodians’ Work Goes Unappreciated Clean lavatories, polished floors and freshly painted walls heralded the opening of school; yet within one month student vandalism had turned the lavs and hallways into eyesores. Custodians spent the summer rejuvenating the school but soon found their work unappreciated and wasted. ‘‘I was very disappointed with the student treatment of school facilities. I think we should have more respect for our building.” (Mary Aliquo) Employed at a thankless anomalous job, the janitorial staff is responsible for lawn care, snow removal, swept floors and a thousand and one other tasks. These school employees were also on hand for extracurricular activities and school functions. After an evening of snow, Henry Naglic, head custodian, and Bob Myers, a veteran staff member, prepare to go over the school grounds for needed cleanup work. About to embark on their cleaning chores are the three female custodians. Marion Kuhn, Peg Deitle and Edna Duell (above). Having completed the sweeping and tidying up of a room.

Students Disgruntled With New Arrangement Frustrated students had to fight a bat- tle with hunger due to the discontinued staggered” lunch period and the formation of three 30-minute lunch periods. Often I had only five minutes to eat because the lines were so long. (Scott Dillon) There was always a rush at the start of the lunch periods, then nobody in line.” (Jane Utzman) Subs and pizza remained lunch favorites with the new Parmesan anu meatball sandwiches fast gaining popularity. The cooks worked hard to please students with quick efficient service. “I really enjoy my work and I appreciate the grati- tude of the students.” (Henrietta Liska) Cafeteria—33 ACTIVE NHS president Jean Wantiez (right) informs members of an upcoming Teacher Appreciation Day.

Cindy Penatzer, Sandy Lucci, Sherie Stuver and Wendy Roth clown around while waiting for band-camp cafeteria to open 34—Activities ANCLE A Different Look at the Same Activities A picture in the yearbook or a notation in the senior directory is often the only recognition an activity member receives. An activity or club demands much more. For cheerleaders, band and band front there are lengthy after-school practices to learn routines. Fund raisers figure prominently for the Humanitarian Club, Spanish Honor Society and the yearbook staff. Each club learns to work with an advisor and plan activities together, such as the Spring Concert, a ski trip to Seven Springs or a Christmas dance. Activity periods find clusters of NHS members in the cafeteria, Jaycee members in the chem lab and Student Council in the conference room organizing their activities. Yet most important is the fun and good times each member derives from the club he participates in—the greatest benefit of the ACTIVE ANGLE. Activities—35 Exchange Program Conducted We tried to bring in new ideas for the benefit of the stu- dents. Although it was rather difficult at times, we did our best to carry them out.” (Alan Krantzler) The 20-member student forum conducted an exchange program with Richland and Conemaugh Townships schools, enabling students from these schools to observe classrooms and facilities at Forest Hills. Aware of the clutter filling the hallways, the council posi- tioned hand painted trash re- ceptacles at key spots through- out the school. For the Christmas holidays the group bedecked the school with tinsel, holly and evergreen and in the same vein organized the annual Snowball Dance. In conjunction with the class officers, the student council contracted the installation of the marquee and shrubs and prepared weekly notices for it. The council served as an or- ganizational body for the annual Spring Carnival held on May 28. 36—Student Council Juniors Chris Bertolino and Judi Gdula (above) concentrate on an Uncle Sam insignia which they are painting on a trash can Preparing for the Christmas holidays are sophomores (Left Center) Cindy Gallardy.

HUM members Margaret Costello and Kim Wilson share a dance with two students from Woodvale School. Humanitarian Club Active Throughout Entire Year Halloween and Christmas Par- ties brightened the lives of men- tally retarded students. Mem- bers of the Humanitarian Club dressed up as witches, clowns and Indians for the October 30th affair and passed out treats to everyone. At Christmas, Santa and his elves made a special trip to hand out presents to the Woodvale students. The HUM-sponsored Cystic Fibrosis Benefit Basketball Game pitted the Forest Hills faculty against the WCRO super jocks.” Headstart children received bundles of clothing and Easter baskets when club members visited their school in Salix. Armed with treats and gifts, the hospital committee visited local hospitals to distribute these items to the children confined there for the holidays. A carnation sale on Valen- tine's Day, together with sub, pizza and candy sales in March and April helped the group carry out its financial commitments to fire relief and other charities. President Terry Bertolino summed up HUM'S purpose, Our club did things for people and kept active the entire year. 38—Humanitarian Club At left chairmen of the various HUM committees include (Seated) Terry Bertolino; (Front Row) Tama Werfel, Kathy Romanchock, Mary Aliquo, Alan Krantzler, Sally Jo Brunnet, Gwen Wilt and Lisa Dan el; (On Ladder, Clock- wise) Barbara Martin, Kim Wess, Kim Casti, Renee Wolfhope, Missy Rosemas, Rita Soohy and Edna Sweltz.

Veteran members were in charge of the event which featured a welcome by president Jeanne Wantiez and speeches by Mary Aliquo, Edna Sweltz, Cindy Penatzer and Joe Cronauer on the four quali- ties of membership—character, scholarship, leadership, and service. The candlelight ceremony was held at an assembly for the student body as well as in the evening for the parents of the inductees. A social hour followed the evening ceremony. In late April the NHS held its annual Teacher Appreciation Day at which time corsages and boutonnieres were presented to all teachers and administrators.

The 1976 grand champions failed to break through the alert Altoona and lost by a one-sided score of 285-80. The Ranger team, all seniors, consisted of Edna Sweltz, Alan Krantzler, Richard Becker and David Stuver. Alternates were juniors Doug Endler and Ronald Secary. Edna Sweltz, a three year veteran on the team and captain for the past two years, stated, It was a real disappointment to lose the first match but we had the consolation of being grand cham- pions last year.” EDNA LEE SWELTZ CAPTAI N Coach Henry Polasko (above) quizzes Dave Stuver and Edna Sweltz during a practice session held during fifth period.

Students Rate Paper 'Good,' Puzzle Page Most Popular As the Montage increased its number of pages so did the num- ber of students buying it increase. The monthly paper, co-edited by Mary Aliquo and Lisa Wess, increased its spread from four to six pages, including an ad page and a popular puzzle page. A school-wide survey con- ducted by the Montage staffers revealed that the overall rating of the paper was good and well worth the cost of 25 .” Sales indicated that approximately 100 more students than in previous years were buying and reading the publication. Comprised of 15 students, the journalism class concentrated on creating layouts, composing headlines and proofreading with the help of advisor Albert Keller. A new format, the use of graphics and introducing reverse print in headlines further bettered the paper. Assisting the jornalism class were about 20 reporters, seniors and underclassmen. The Montage-ers ended their journalism work with the publication of a 12-page senior edition in June. Upon being chosen Most Valu- able Staffer by her co-workers, editor Mary Aliquo commented, “I appreciate the confidence my fellow staffers placed in me. With their help, we produced a better paper.

Unique Student Aide Program Initiated for Elementary With the opening of the new elementary building there came a unique student aide program. Elvopro (Elementary Volunteer Program), developed by Mrs. Martha Kozar, utilized high school students as all purpose aides at the elementary school. During study hall students in the program could sign out and spend their free time helping out in art and phys ed classes or lending a hand in the cafe- teria or library. Although the program attracted large num- bers at the start, the average number of consistent volunteers was 25. “Working with the elementary students at the new school helped to break up the school day and was fun for both the students and children involved. (Tammy Facciani) Two other student aide ser- vices, Mr. Plummer's office aides and the Library aides, continued as in previous years. The girls in Mr. Plummer’s office handled absentee records and distributed absentee lists each morning and performed other jobs pertinent to the attendance office. Library aides checked out books, ar- ranged the stacks and took care of library materials. Student Aides—53 Soprano and Bass Section—First Row: Sharon Plummer. Lisa Mehall. Vanessa McNemar.

Playing the tune Color My World,” the FH entry further carried out its chosen theme. For two weeks prior to the opening of school the band re- assembled and spent days learn- ing marching routines for the up- coming football season. Also at this band camp new members were introduced to marching techniques. Under the direction of Phil Mollers and assistant Charles Cannin, the band, led by drum majorette Tama Werfel per- formed half-time routines for the fans. They boosted their spirits with tunes such as Minnesota Rouser, “Happy Days” and “Get It On.” With the close of marching season the group set to work on concerts. The Pops Concert featured the Stage Band in sev- eral jazz numbers. At the Spring concert held June 8th the full band combined with the senior high chorus for the Battle Hymn of the Republic. Other selections included Folk Rock and Mr. Lucky. Throughout the year the band appeared in many of the parades held in the area. “Band was time-consuming but the fun we had made up for the work.

The colorguard chose a more formal look with vests and skirts and silky gold bow-tie blouses. Gold braid and buttons accented the flagtwirlers’ cross-strapped forest green jumpers. We worked very hard for our uni- forms but we received so many compliments I know it was worth every cupcake at every bake sale. (Sue Costello) While the colorguard used new flagtwirling techniques, the majorettes and flagtwirlers often worked together, performing synchronized Star Spangled Banner” sequences and forming matching patterns on both sides of the field. The time spent performing as a flagtwirler will be among the most cherished moments of my high school years.

They worked long hours during the summer months to prepare for the year's sports season. The jayvee squad participated mainly at basketball games and wres- tling matches. During the football season the girls manned the concession stand at home games, which was their chief means of obtaining funds for their jackets. The year began with fourteen cheerleaders and ended with fourteen friends.

Held on November 12 and 13, the event highlighted the club’s yearly activities. There were many sore muscles and tired eyes but as Rick Baxter president of the organization stated, “It was well worth the cause.’ The club also planned inter- scholasric baseball games and aided their “big brothers” Jay- cees of South Fork in the annual apple butter sale.

Girls Spread Easter Joy Visiting the home for the aged at Scalp Level was a new pro- ject for the Jayceettes. At Easter time, the girls made up baskets and presented them to the elderly at the home. “Because we were so much appreciated and it was such a rewarding experience, I hope the visit will become an annual event,” stated president Lisa Wess. The girls also were a big help with the Jaycee marathon. So- liciting donations, being ticket collectors and scorekeepers as well as competing with the jay- cees on the basketball floor made them an integral part of this event. Approximately thirty girls were members of this group. Junior Jayceettes—65 Appearing on the Now Hour show.

From 7:50 to 8:00 each Friday morning the junior delivered school news and weather reports interspersed with top tunes of the week. The organization decorated the lobby with an over-size calen- dar which served as a means of student graffiti, birthday wishes and scheduled events. Items noted here often served as material for weekly news broadcasts. The 20-member club worked under the supervision of faculty advisor Fran Matvay. I think the broadcasts did a lot to break up the monotony of the daily routine.” (Ann Susko) Radio Club—67 Bad Weather Hampers Trips for Extra Large Ski Club “I always looked forward to those Wednesday ski-trips.

The old pros developed their hot-dogging techniques while the beginners concentrated on the basics. Although bad weather altered the schedule and prohibited ex- tra trips to Blue Knob, the club did manage to round out the sea- son with a full day outing at Seven Springs. Sub sales and a flea market enabled many enthusiastic skiers to raise their $35 fee needed to make the trips.

Intramural Program Initiated With the addition of two activi- ty periods a week, the phys ed department was able to initiate an intramural program, including basketball, softball and volley- ball, the most successful being basketball. In this activity various home- rooms battled one another to seek a champ. At the end of the six week program, playoffs were held to determine class champs. Senior homeroom 148 emerged as senior champs by defeating Room 142 by a 31-16 tally. The playoff contest between junior homerooms 213 and 217 found Room 213 the victors by a nar- row margin, 20-19. Sophomore homeroom 119 ran away with their game against Room 119 by a 26-15 score. In a student assembly the sophomore champs of 119 faced junior titlists of 213 to deter- mine who would play the senior champs of 148 for the grand championship. The juniors were victorious, showing a 25-17 victory. In the championship game which pitted the juniors of 213 against the seniors of 148 there was not much of a contest as the seniors overran the under- classmen 20-6. Senior Mark Dixon was named MVP with six points. Senior homeroom 148 emerged as grand champions of the intramural basketball program initiated by the physi- cal education department. The champs include (seated front) Chuck Galosi, Russ Gillman and Stan Debias; (standing) John Fedore, Mark Dixon and Jeff Dimond. Russ Gillman (above) out-maneuvers his opponents of 142 Mark Baker, on the left, and Ed Bopp. Russ was high scorer in the contest with 12 points. Room 148 won the contest by a 31-16 count.

The spectator sees only the homerun hit or more agonizing the strike- out but each competitor must build stamina, control and drive that fans only get a glimpse of. Behind every football game, wrestling match or track meet there are hours of grueling practice with players working with their coach establishing plays, line-ups or relay teams. Still from the thrill of victory to the agony of defeat the spirit of competition is ever present accentuating the ACTION ANGLE.

Senior Joe Cronauer quali- fied for the District 6 playoffs but failed to bring home a trophy. Alan Pepoy, a senior, became the first four year letterman in FH history. Over the four years Alan proved to be the backbone of the golf team and compiled an excellent record, averaging in the low eighties.

He further de- scribed the upcoming year as a rebuilding year. Of his 16 let- termen seven were starters in the '75 campaign and nine played on specialty teams. Among the largest turnout ever 30 were sophomores who offered good promise. Although the offensive line showed some inexperience, the backfield was just the reverse. Also Bailey had ten lettermen on the defense, the Rangers’ strong point for the gridiron season. Bailey hoped that his defense would keep the team in the game until the offense got things together. All in all Coach Bailey looked forward to a good year. First Row: Tom Knieriem. Don McCrory. Mark Wadsworth. Dave Miller. Bob Crum. Chad Oldham. Pete DiMarino. Dave Nastase. Tim Eppley. Kevin Keller.

Football—77 Rangers Capture Mountain Conference, End Season Undefeated With 8-0-1 Chart By defeating Windber in the final game by a 12-0 score, the Ranger Eleven earned the Moun- tain Conference Title, a first in the 10 year FH history. The team charted an 8-0-1 season record, with seven shut- out victories. Only fifteen points were scored against the gridiron squad and the team earned the title of Number 1 Defense in Western Pa. Defeating the Portage Mus- tangs by a 20-0 score in the opening contest was perhaps one of their most cherished vic- tories since the arch-rivals were expected to win by three TD’s. The Windber Ramblers’ shut- out in the season's finale capped the best season ever for the Ranger football team. Coach Bailey was more than proud of this team since these were the boys with whom his head coaching career began three years ago. Scampering around right end.

Whether it was opening night of the musical, the crowning of the prom queen or the solemn procession of the seniors at graduation, these moments stick with us. Yet often we fail to look behind these occasions to find what really made them so special— the tedious hours of make-up before the play, the grilling rehearsals weeks before the production, the twelve years of hard work leading to graduation, the numerous meetings and planning time going into the prom. From arranging evergreen boughs for the Christmas dance to the golden programs scattered on seats after graduation each aspect of these events is a part of the ATTRACTION ANGLE.

HAUNTED HOUSE m ■ave Stuver, working under the direction of Ski Club advisor Martha Kozar, united 50 skiers with the Forest Hills Jay- cees for a terrifying Halloween experience. Students and Jay- cees renovated and remodeled the old St. Michael Sportsman's Club and transformed it into the area’s first Haunted House. Lasting for two weeks, the at- traction featured a torture chamber, coffin room, witches' kitchen and a mind-boggling maze. Student ghosts and ghouls guided the terror-loving visitors into a haunting world of catcalls and cobwebs. I enjoyed playing the part of Dracula and witnessing the frightened crowds as they came through the house.

At this time the Junior Jaycees and Jay- ceettes challenged the wheel chair team from the Rehab Center. Fifteen games and eight teams later the marathoners had dribbled their way into the hearts (and pockets) of the various local sponsors. After dribbling and shooting for thirty consecutive hours, the weary, red-rim eyed par- ticipants jubilantly painted a new red line on the thermometer indicating that they had reached their goal of $1500. “The marathon was well re- ceived and we were proud to be part of it.

Marathon—103 ■■■ eanne Wantiez, Yvonne Wieczorek and Brenda Poruban were among the 20 con- testants who competed in the Cambria County Junior Miss Pageant. Besides the interviews and questionnaires required of the girls, they had to perform in three major categories—physical fitness, poise and appearance and talent. Each girl performed an intri- cate mop and chair routine for her physical fitness entry. Attired in long dresses and twirling parasols, the girls promenaded before judges to be rated on poise and appearance. Each girl also presented an original talent. “I had loads of fun and met some really nice people.

SNOWBALL DANCE Pam Colosimo reigned as the 1976 Snowball Queen at the annual affair held during the Christmas holiday season. Over 100 couples at- tended the event sponsored by the student council. Highlight of the dance was the crowning of the queen by Deb- orah Duca. who received this honor in the 1975 festivities. Seniors, juniors and sopho- mores each nominated girls from their classes to vie for the title. Voting was done several days prior to the affair, held on December 29. A student cast one vote for each penny donated to the student council. The girl receiving the most penny votes was acclaimed the winner while the remaining eight acted as the queen's court. Snowball Dance—105 GL„ sen as first homecoming queen, remarked, I am very flattered to be picked for our first home- coming festivities. The October 28 football en- counter was nearly cancelled, but the all day rain did not dampen Ranger spirits, even though a pre-game bonfire had to be cancelled. The steady shower forced the queen and her court to remain in the stands, forsaking the idea of a wet and muddy crowning ceremony. After a whopping 28-0 victory, 300 fans took cover in the gym and rocked to the sounds of the C.R. Goodtimes. During inter- mission Donna was crowned by Dan Penatzer, '76 class presi- dent, and members of the court Jeanne Wantiez and Pam Colo- simo were each presented roses by Marion Hostetler, '75 class president.

Alan, cast as Johnny, a dismayed little drummer boy, searches for the true meaning of Christ- mas, hidden behind decorations and blinding lights. In a world disillusioned over the Vuletide Season, the familiar Christmas characters, Frosty the Snowman, (Kim Dillon), Suzie Snowflake (Carol Kudnrod), Santa and Mrs. Claus (Yvonne Wieczorek and Pat Snyder), Rudolph (Mary Aliquo), the Littlest Angel (Tammy Seese) and a Christmas Tree (Linda Stif- fler) help Johnny search for Christmas along a road polluted by commercialism. But Scrooge. (Corey Wingard) a money hungry businessman interrupts their pro- gress as they seek Christmas. The climax of the play brings all together to the birth site of Jesus in Bethlehem. 108—The Christmas Search red Vrabel, direc- tor of the play, “I Never Saw Another Butterfly”' presented it in a multi-media format uti- lizing slides, film, a detailed sound track and numerous light- ing cues. Set in the present day, Raja Englanderova (Kathy Plummer) relives her past. The play travels back in time to the German con- centration camp of Terezin. where a younger Raja (Joette Stormer) must learn to survive everyday life amidst the terror of mass executions, beatings and bombings. She finds comfort and encouragement there from Irena Syncova (Kim Dillon), the teacher who showed her that love, and above all, hope can survive, even in a seemingly loveless and hopeless situation.

Dale Weav- er served as choreographer with Sam Coco heading the musical end of the show and Philip Mollers the orchestra. Auditions in late March de- termined the cast with rehear- sals continuing for the next nine weeks. Cast members, light- ing crews and technical crews spent long hours at the junior high fitting the show together. The show opened April 28 and continued through a matinee May 1st, playing to sell-out crowds at each performance. The Sound Of Music —111 c __________|orey Wingard stated. “ ‘The Sound of Music' was the best experience of my senior year. Through everything the cast shared, there emerged a closeness for one another. Of all the aspects of the show, the audience most loved the musical numbers. The charac- ters of the Von Trapp children delighted all with their rollicking Do-Re-Mi,” Lonely Goatherd” and “So Long, Farewell. For inspiration, the Mother Abbess’ Climb Every Mountain” offered confidence in one's dreams. Elsa and Max's “No Way To Stop It tackled the problems of the day with humor and an old touch of logic.

Contrasting with the plush decor of the night club, pink and maroon were chosen for the prom colors. Junior class hostesses handed out silver necklaces and booklets as re- membrances and Cover Studio was on hand to capture the magic moments on film.

As the prom court and their attendants proceeded to the dias, background music was supplied by seniors Greg Wirfel and Shari Grasser, singing the popular Maybe I'm Amazed, chosen by Betzi.

SPRING CARNIVAL my Jo Deer's hermit crab was the smallest entry in the Pet Show, the high- light of the third annual Spring Carnival. Twenty-four youngsters turned out for the event at which were entered a wide range of pets from a red fox to a caped duck. At the carnival itself each club was responsible for a booth and the attractions included a fish pond, ring toss, candle squirt, sponge throw and a basketball toss. The Literary staffs were in charge of concessions and their sno-cones proved to be the most popular item of the scorch- ing day. The event netted the class officers about $500. The late date and lack of student interest made the carni- val less of a success than we had hoped.” (Lisa Hampton) 118—Spring Carnival Sno cones were a popular item on the hot sultry afternoon Randy Smay (above) purchases one from Holly Law, a member of yearbook staff which was in charge of concessions.

Yet these two classes refused to take a back seat and expressed themselves through their involvement in crucial activities. They realized that being underclassmen presented its own limitations and they worked within them gaining experience and maturity so that when they assume leadership they will have the confidence needed to lead. They made the most of being a part of the AMATEUR ANGLE. Underclassmen— 129 Sophomores Initiations Held During Summer Camp Initiations were a standard procedure for sophomores who wished to join various organizations upon entering senior high. Instigated by the seniors, they were used mainly for band, cheerleaders and football recruits. The first week of summer camp ended with some frantic fun when the seniors let the sophomores have it. Band members and cheerleaders modeled the latest styles in cleaning apparel while shy, blushing football recruits sang and danced for the upperclassmen. The wearing of outlandish costumes and the performing of wild stunts were all part of the initiations. Although the sophomores expressed some embarrassment, they realized it was harmless fun and took it all in stride.

The new staffers exhibited a fresh style for the monthly publication. Montage read- ers discovered a pleasant- ly different approach to school functions and en- joyed reading their articles. Although not enrolled in the journalism class, due to scheduling problems, the sophomores took an active part and were always prompt with their assigned articles. The sophomore year served as an apprenticeship for these young journalists. With a year experience they would be ready to become members of the editorial staff and participate in the actual publication of the school newspaper.

The look for the year was classically casual and dramatically different and sophomores kept in pace with stylish new denim ideas. In contrast to past years, dressed-up looks ap- peared on the scene and the class of '79 deserved an A + for following fashion trends. Dresses were worn more frequently by sophomore girls while the tenth-grade guys sported good looking sweaters and slacks. 1977 focused on fashion, as did the sophomores.

In the two party system only girls filled out petitions for class officers, four Peace Trainers and four from the Spirit Party. After several weeks of campaigning and a final rally the day before elec- tions in which the party platforms were discussed, the tenth-graders elected the following: Joan Krug, president; Donna Endler, vice-president; Pam Siveri- nac and Marietta Chulick treasurer and secretary re- spectively. All winners were members of the Peace Train Party. The only close ballot- ing was for the top office in which Joan Krug just squeaked by her Spirit op- ponent Jane Utzman by a 61-58 count.

Judy Pepoy begins disecting a frog. Judy does not appear squeamish as many sophomores are when they first begin disecting. Sophomores Student Biologists Experience Disecting For most sophomores, biology class was their first experience in disecting. Al- though a little leery at first, most tenth graders looked forward to confirming that which the biology book me- thodically stated. As the scent of formaldehyde per- meated the room, students bent over preserved ani- mals and followed explicit instructions with razor blades and tweezers in hand.

Sue Costello Donna Czapp Lisa Dell Denny Deyarmin Gary Dibert Kim Dillon Juniors—143 with future employment in mind With a sophomore year of bas- ics behind them, juniors decided to vary their studies and choose courses which could lead to fu- ture employment. Computer programming, taught by George Mesoras, was an interesting elective for many students. With the need for com- puter programming expected to rise 100% in the next five or so years, a number of juniors decided to make the course an introduction to further computer study. Taught for one semester, the course became very popular with juniors and from all indica- tions would continue to show an increase in student enrollment. Learning by doing was the attracting factor in the new Power Technology course. Jun- iors enrolled in the course with the idea of working on something already familiar to them. Mr. Crissey's course involved work- ing with all facets of small engines—from repairing them to making them. Future mechanics found this elective not only useful and well worth their time but also rather enjoyable.

Tammy Dolan Driver education, chemistry on 11th grade curriculum Being a member of the junior class meant maturing and under- taking new responsibilities. Two more courses were made avail- able to the juniors in conjunction with the new maturity. Academic students found the science department opening up for them when they enrolled in the chemistry course. Because of potentially dangerous lab as- signments, they had to rely on themselves and common sense to exhibit sound judgment and awareness. As the new chemists progressed in class and worked New responsibilities come to maturing juniors in certain courses more and more on their own, they acquired more responsi- bility and trust in themselves. When a junior reached his sixteenth birthday, he became eligible for the drivers ed course. This “actual training course necessitated a responsible char- acter, as the driving student be- came responsible for his life as well as that of others. The par- ticipating students benefited un- der Mr. William Lee and Mr. Elias Kudrick and were able to receive a long awaited driving license.

Brenda New, secretary: Sue Costello, president and Pam Long, treasurer Class officers initiate major change in social event Junior prom committee decides to take prom out of school When the junior class officers took over in November, they initiated a major change. They decided to hold the prom away from the school. The four girl officers, all mem- bers of the Spirit Party, in making the decision, did not act hastily. They asked the four candidates of the opposition party, girls also, to be members of the prom com- mittee. These eight met and after much discussion on the prom decided to break with tradition and take it out of the school gym. Having checked various loca- tions, the girls finally agreed on THIS IS IT, a local night club near Johnstown. The only other major concern of the officers was working in conjunction with other class offi- cers in sponsoring the annual Spring Carnival which was held at the latter part of May.

Humanitarian prove helpful to others Club, Elvopro Juniors volunteer time and services to help and to guide needy Being humanitarians at heart many juniors willingly gave up their free time to help others. They joined various clubs and organizations whose purpose was helping those less fortunate or those needing guidance and understanding. One such organization was the Humanitarian Club which formed various committees to help out in specific areas. These groups included the hospital, the mus- cular dystrophy and the mentally retarded, to name but a few. These committees sponsored activities for their respective groups, aiding them socially and financially. Also, some juniors participated in the Elvopro (Elementary Vol- unteer Program), newly formed this year. The purpose of this organization was to give a hand with the elementary and kinder- garten groups. These volunteers found the assistance given to these or- ganizations self-satisfying and it gave them a feeling of pride, knowing that what they were doing gave enjoyment to others. Juniors—149 In order to complete his ring order. Bill Myers checks out his proper ring size. Acquisition of class rings, important occasion Undoubtedly the biggest event of the year for most juniors was the acquisition of class rings. On September 10, anxious eleventh-graders impatiently squeezed into Room 148 to pick up their long-awaited class rings. About seventy-five per cent of the class ordered rings. Of the 168 rings received, the vast majority were 10 karat-gold. The price of rings varied with the medium 10 karat gold costing $54; the paladium plus. $45 and the sterling silver, $34. Juniors proudly display rings which give them a sense of belonging Two additional variations of stones were offered for the first time at an additional $5 cost. These included the sparkling Starflame and the dazzling Fire- burst. Since the school colors are green and gold, most stu- dents ordered a green stone. However, their birthstone was also available. With drumming fingers and waving hands, the juniors proud- ly displayed their cherished rings, a symbol of the days spent at Forest Hills.

Under the sponsorship of the Quality School Plan, the sale took place the latter part of September. An added attraction was of- fered. Records were also avail- able along with a choice of some 130 magazines. The usual prizes were awarded, including spirit buttons, mugs. FH mascots, plush toys and a free subscription of the '77 Forester for those who sold 14 subscriptions. Debbie Mickus and Colleen Caroff, both of whom sold over $600 in subscriptions, received grand prizes, 8-Track Stereos.” Since the class exceeded its super goal of $8000, a special drawing for a portable TV was held for all participants. The winner was Barbara Peters. Juniors—153 ACE Part-time UPJ student Betzi Main- hart (right) leaves for her after- noon classes at the college. On the job’’ at Hickory Farms.

The increasing number of seniors employed in after-school jobs reflected this attitude. Others applied themselves to volunteer programs sounding them out as possible careers. College bound students spent frustrating hours pouring over catalogues and brochures. Some attended UPJ trying to get a headstart on their education. For many the choices were not always clear and at times the only way to move ahead lay in looking back and reliving the ACE ANGLE. Seniors—155 Getting away from it all Joan Esdinsky finds a deserted stairway to write out some pictures for classmates. that was the week that was “That was the week that was.” It was the week of September 19 when the 220 seniors came to school in their best attire and posed for their senior portraits. This was, no doubt, the first big event for the class of '77. Cover Studio of Johnstown spent the week photographing fidgety and concerned sen- iors. Photographer Paul Cover remarked. “You certainly have some pretty girls here at Forest Hills.” A week later the proofs arrived to the awe of some and to the dismay of others. After choosing the best proof. the seniors waited patiently for the finished product. In the early part of December the pictures came. “It’s amazing how good they can make one look,” stated Shari Grasser; all the pictures were really nice.” Throughout the following weeks, seniors spent many hours, in class, study halls, hallways, and any secluded place possible, writing me- mentos to classmates and underclassmen friends. “Ten years from now these pictures will bring back memo- ries of my wonderful days in high school.” (Gwen Wilt) Aliquo, Donna — 2 25 59 — R.D 1 Portage — Flag Twirler 12.

Each sport depended upon them for leadership and confi- dence. Often forgotten, these individuals performed menial tasks and were always there when needed. Seeming to pos- sess eight eyes and twelve hands, they became the coach's right arm and helped ease his burden. “Since I couldn't participate athletically, I enjoyed being a part of the team as a manager and sharing their wins and losses. (Dan Novak) Another important facet in sports was scorekeeping. Some sports employed paid help for this job but not so in wrestling. A number of girls volunteered their services and gave up their evenings to keep score at the grapplers’ matches. These girls also participated in money- making projects sponsored by the wrestling team. Bennett, John — 3 7 59 —- South Fork — Band 10. Ski Club 12; Track 11.12.

At the half-time show, which was dedicated especially to the seniors, members of the band, band front and cheerleaders were called before the crowd. As goes tradition each senior received a flower pinned on by a favorite underclassman. Band members sported gold- en mums for the girls and tinted carnations for the guys. The band front and cheer- leaders received corsages. Following the Ranger victory over Windber, jubilant seniors headed for area restaurants and snack bars to celebrate.

Due to their ability, these students were recommended and successfully auditioned for the Indiana University of Pennsylvania Honors Band. In its fourth year, the pro- gram attracted over 200 students from nine counties in southwestern Pennsylvania. Rehearsals began on Satur- day. December 4 and con- tinued once a week through- out the month. Cindy captured first chair on the baritone sax while Alan achieved first clarinet, second chair. The efforts of these students culminated in a public concert Saturday, December 18. “Honors band was a re- warding experience for me in that I had the opportunity to improve my playing and at the same time meet other students interested in music.” (Cindy Penatzer) Killinger, Susan — 1 4 58 — South Fork — Library Aide 12.

Isn't school monotonous? These are just a few remarks heard from many of the students. In order to break up this boredom and monotony of the regimented school day, students had informal get togethers and rap sessions. Congregating at lockers, at lunch tables in cafeteria or during activity periods, stu- dents chatted and had a chuckle or two on the day’s happenings. It was a time to relax and exchange ideas, to let others know of pet gripes and just to rid oneself of the daily tensions. These get togethers meant more to seniors since they realized that this was their final year of such confabs with friends of long standing. All too soon graduation would see these friends going their separate ways. These ses- sions would then become fond memories. Without these rap sessions and friendly get togethers, school would have been a complete bore.

Working entirely on their own. the seniors learned the responsibility of relying on their own sense and skill. In addition to responsibility, Mr. Pettorini’s “micro-bugs” were taught the “how-to’s” of maintaining cultures of microorganisms in different environments. For 18 weeks, and one-half credit, students studied spores, medical and pathological bacteria and the use of the oil immersion microscope.

(Diane Krisko) Peter Burkholder, represent- ing Student Services printing firm, met with seniors and explained the procedure in ordering announcements and name cards. Order forms. sample name card pamphlets and other pertinent material were passed out. After proper instruction concerning the fil- ling out of these forms was given, the seniors were told to take forms home and check with parents on ordering and return orders one week later. Approximately 2500 an- nouncements were ordered. About fifteen per cent of the class purchased name cards and a few seniors ordered memory books and charms.

From September until June, students added high school mementos to a locker- door collage of fond mem- ories and keepsakes. Each morning was a trip down memory lane as seniors were greeted by a pictorial story of the fleeting past. The day designated for locker cleanup assumed an air of finality as silent seniors re- membered . . . and bade good- bye to a wonderful childhood.

Frigid temperatures, unprec- edented blizzards and an ill- timed energy crisis played havoc with the winter schedule. School was cancelled so often that through January and February students aver- aged only three days a week. More distressing to many were the icy classrooms. In com- pliance with a request to con- serve energy thermostats were fixed at 68 degrees but in many rooms temperatures dip- ped much lower. Heavy sweat- ers, chattering teeth and clusters at radiators became a common sight during the crunch. “Some- times the cold really got to me but I knew it was im- portant to save energy.” (Mis- sy Rosemas) The energy crisis posed several long range effects upon students. Winter sports events were rescheduled in- to March and many extracur- ricular activities were curbed. Disgruntled seniors were faced with an extended graduation date. “I think it was really a rip-off to have graduation moved up.” (Lisa Danel) 180—Seniors Patricia Price Jerry Richards Joseph Progar Kathleen Romanchock Anna Marie Psioda Marissa Rosemas James Rice Linda Ross Seniors Pam Celmer, Diane Krlsko, Lorrl Dell.

Under the direction of Mr. Turchetta, senior members of the political science classes supervised the elections of class officers. Seniors Donna Price and Alan Pepoy were appointed overall chairmen of the activity. Cam- paign managers selected were Dave Stuver who headed the Peace Train Party and Barb Gdula. Spirit Party chairman. Registering voters, schedul- ing debates and rallies and pre- siding over all phases of the election became the responsi- bility of the above chairmen. Prospective candidates ob- tained nominating forms from those in charge and had to get 25 signatures of party members in order to get on the ballot. The election board then con- ducted a primary election and prepared ballots for the general election in November. Voting was held in the tax lobby where voting booths were erected. Tabulation of the votes and declaration of win- ners were the final duty of the chairmen. I never realized the amount of work that goes into the elec- tion process, but the practical experience was well the time and effort.

With the arrival of caps and gowns in early May came the stark reminder to seniors that the “good ole school days” were drawing to a close. There were those who were jubilant that graduation was so near at hand but, by far, most of the seniors were a bit sad- dened by it. It meant the break- ing up of friendships which many had acquired over the years. Many would be off to college to seek new friends while others would leave the area to find employment. The only thing that would remain for most seniors would cherished memories of good times which they shared with friends. “With graduation so close at hand, I became a bit saddened to think that many of my friends would be leaving and that many good times would be over.” (Pam Celmer) Due to inclement weather, school had to be closed on several occasions and in all some nine days were lost. Since the State Department required that all students, including seniors, be in school 180 days, the seniors were forced to make up the lost days, putting off graduation until June 17.

With the help of Mr. Steve Hrapchak, guidance counselor, seniors learned the entrance requirements of various col- leges and prep schools. Sug- gested courses of study were discussed. Class rank and results of college boards pro- vided many seniors with some idea how they might fare in future schooling. Those who intended to enter the armed services also con- tacted the guidance department for information pertinent to the service of their choice. “I found that guidance be- came an integral part of my senior year since it helped me with my future educational plans” (Lorri Dell) Financial assistance through scholarships, grants and loans were also topics reviewed by the counselor and seniors.

The four senior girls, representing rangers, a bunny and a beaver, were chosen by advisor Penny Matlin prior to the beginning of school. Beginning with the football season, the “mascot- ettes” worked to involve more people in cheering the team on to victory. The girls were especially appealing to children who became their faithful fans at sports events. “Mascot-ing” became a full time activity for rangers Joan Esdinsky and Kathy Roman- chock. beaver Linda Stiffler and bunny Brenda Poruban. “I loved being an active part of the cheering squad and being able to help us become “number one. (Joan Esdinsky) The mascots also participated in various local parades. Concerned, bunny Brenda Poruban watches as cheerleaders perform during a time out at a home basketball game.
