We readily entered into such activities as Junior Varsity Basketball, Junior High Cheerleading, The School Band, and the Girls' Team. Then, too, each of us participated in the club of our choice. We enthusiastically sponsored Tea Dances” which added to our steadily growing treasury. Our class president that year was Helen Paulisick. All in all. we had a very successful year which accounted for our confidence as we advanced one more rung in the ladder leading toward graduation. Under the able leadership of our sophomore president, Tom Cain, we continued to progress. The outstanding events of the year were a skat- ing party held at Rock Springs and our own Easter dance. We were represented in the var- sity by Tom Cain and Bernard Schlenke. The girls' team boasted Margaret Gebrosky. Joanne Pyle. Sandra Watkins, and Barbara Holzshu. Dena Restauri. Loretta Carfagna, and Maureen McGarrity were chosen as cheerleaders. To be sure, our Junior year was one of sig- nificance. We elected Bernard Schlenke to lead the class, and at once we got down to business with a highly successful bake sale. Next came the minstrel which we all enjoyed with Jack Kelly as one of the endmen. Dolores Grudowski, Eleanor Tomer, and Marlene Towle were chosen for the National Honor Society The traditional Junior prom was held at the Greensburg Country Club with music by Bobby Dale and his or- chestra. Even more activities at this time in- cluded the school play, For Pete's Sake, with three Juniors—Marilyn McElfresh, Mike Mastoro- vich, and Jimmy Voithofer participating, and the May Crowning with Eleanor Tomer and Ellen McCurdy representing the Junior Class in the May Court. We can't forget the incomparable job of our baseball team as they swept aside all competition to gain the title of Western Penn- sylvania Champions in the W.P.I.A.L. Tommy Cain, Don Rivardo, Lawrence Stiffy, Tommy Bebar, and Joe Gruber were the Junior assets to the team. Now we are coming to the end of the trail. As Seniors, we are potential graduates. With Margaret Gebrosky as our competent president, we started raising funds with a raffle and a bake sale. Sally Fagan, Jimmy Voithofer, Mar- lene Towle, Dolores Grudowski, and Joe Gruber participated in the Gay Nineties Production, Golden Hollyhocks.” Next we held our Christ- mas Dance with Joe Menham and his ensemble. Our activities are without end, for in the future we still anticipate another play, our Senior Ban- quet, May Day. and graduation. We can look back on these past four years with pleasant memories. They were four whole years of fun and strife, and smiles and tears. Our sincere thanks go to our principals, Mr. Ellsworth and Mr Swacus, our sponsors.

Gee, it makes you feel so melancholy when you look back to the “good old days and think about all the kids and everything. By the way, most of the old crowd turned out pretty well. Waiting at the airport for my husband, Louie Prima, to return with his orchestra from his tour, I saw those two world famous admirals, Charles Kidney and Dean Brunecke, returning to their respective ships, the U. S. S. Sarasota and the U. S. S. Pennsylvania. Sally Fagan, Sophia Holodnik, and Helen Paulisick were just arriving from their work abroad. Their sensational health clinic in Korea was finished recently; and now that they have returned home, they will all receive the world renowned Nobel Award for their exceptional work in the field of nurs- ing. By the way, their airplane was piloted by Miss Dolores Lapcevic, who has just set an endurance record with her non-stop flight from Murrysville to Export. The stewardess was none other than Rhoda Hauser. Oh my. I just looked out the window and saw the little white wagon clanging down the street. Well, I knew it would happen sooner or later. Jack Aspros and Joe Gruber will soon be committed to the L. A. Mental Institution where they will be under strict supervision of George Geiger, head of the institution. Oh well, there are always an unfortunate few. Getting back to my old classmates, many of them have become well- known in the field of sports. Tom Cain, Sam Mastorovich, and Don Rivardo have all been selected to play in the Olympics. Also in sports we hear that Dolores Grudowski is once again coach of Notre Dame. This makes the fifth consecutive year she has been with the team. On T. V. tonight, they have booked for the main wrestling event, Marlene Towle. The odds are all in her favor. Also, Bill “Mr. America Marts, is to wrestle against Argentina Rocco. Back in Pittsburgh, Loretta Carfagna has taken over the Y. M. C. A., where Jim Hixenbaugh is the Physical Instructor. More about T. V. . . . The critics are raving about Eleanor Tomer since she made her debut on the Howdy Dowdy Show last week. She is really causing a sensation as Princess Summer Fall Winter Spring. And speaking of the Indians, Melvin Maxwell, the last of the Mohicans, has returned to his long lost tribe to become their beloved chief. Movie stars have been per- mitted to star on T. V. shows, and next Wednesday a long-awaited four- hour show is to be presented to the public. Some of the acts will be: Louie Prima and his orchestra with his featured vocalist and song stylist, Marilyn 26 McElfresh, who will introduce her future song hit, Handsome Malcome, Pass the Talcum, You're the Man for Me ; Gloria Galetti, Loretta Rebich, and Shirley Smith, better known as, ’.’The Three Twinkle Toes , famous dance trio; Dena Restauri, ’’The Butterfly of Ballet,” and the Metropolitan's latest find, Geraldine Bohinc, will be starred with lames Voithofer and Mike Mas- torovich, winners of the 1960 Oscars. Sandra Watkins, noted concert pianist, Eleanor Shaw, author of the best seller, A Tree Grows in Murrysville, and Barbara Holzshu, whose latest paintings have been hung among the world's most precious collections will be among those of the other famous celebrities. The costumes for the show will all be made by Ellen McCurdy, who has taken over the Singer Sewing Machine Co. This benefit show is being sponsored so generously by those two socialites Mrs. Rita Vargesko Rockefeller, and Mrs. Dorothy Sencher Astor. In the field of medicine. Dr. Harold Lucas in collaboration with Dr. John Novak have finally brought into the world the cure for the dreaded cancer. They will go down in history as quacks. Thomas Bebar is beginning to lay the foundation for his new modern clinic. The Stiffy Construction Company will complete the job. The new Weister-Hill Bus Company has opened its new station in Mur- rysville where it will be run by the Smith, Watson and Kelly, Inc., self-service station. Also in Murrysville, Bruce Porterfield and Russell Heider have opened their ultra-modern diner. They now will have to compete with Alice Jones who owns the Penn-Monroe. These restaurants are supplied with the freshest fruits and vegetables by the two most modern farms in the county. These farms belong to Mr. Walter Urick and Mr. William Starn. The cattle is shipped in from Johnetta Aber's ranch out west. While traveling through Las Vegas last week, I made it a point to stop at the fabulous Frenchie's Gambling Casino” owned by that notorious card shark, Joanne Pyle. I hear that Dave Thomas and Henry Swasky have just been offered con- tracts to go on T. V. as Sport's Commentators and that Mr. William Bovard was elected chief dog-catcher of Murrysville. Already he is setting a record for the most dogs caught in a month. A flash has come over the radio just now announcing that the Countess Margaret Gebrosky Karp has just put an end to the revolution that was breaking out in Germany. Her diplomatic influence has given her world- wide fame. Well that's about the whole class and they're all pretty famous by now. I guess dear Diary I'm getting kind of tired so I'll say good-night. 27 Betty Lou Dona Geraldine Johnetta Ellen Jimmy fc. ...

The group of students responsible for Franklin's Yearbook is the Quill Staff. These students are supervised by Miss Krysik and their editor is Eleanor Tomer. This yearbook is your book of memories because it reflects your life in your school. But behind those words lie much labor, unending planning, and a great deal of worry. The staff worked earnestly and devotedly. Each member of the editorial staff became a rambling reporter, gathering bits of information here and there, covering a definite assignment by a certain date, and then combined it all into a complete and interesting story of what hap- pened during the happy days in your school life. 38 Student Council First row—Left to Right, C.

NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Miss Krysik, Sponsor, E. Tomer, D. Grudowski, M. Towle. To become a member of the National Honor Society is the highest honor a junior or senior can achieve. The faculty chooses three juniors and two seniors annually on the merits of scholarship, leadership, character, and service. It is a worth-while achievement. At the end of the year the members of this nationwide organization are installed at a candlelight ceremony. Miss Ruth Krysik is the sponsor. 42 Mr. Good GALLEY STAFF Mrs. Spiegel, Mrs. Lessig V.

DeZanet Mr. Hieder JACK McALPINE Jack —Forward—Junior A boy who has a tremen- dous desire to win. He can be depended upon for his calmness and his team spirit when the going is rough. Jack drives in for his lay-ups beautifully and is noted for his skill in ball handling. This is Jack's fourth year in basketball, and he is now reaching his peak as a player. ROBERT HILL Bob —Center—Senior Rob is a substitute con- ter, and a fine boy with a wonderful attitude to- ward sports. He has done a lot for the team, and has shown marked improve- ment the past season. Bob can always be counted upon to do his very best. RICHARD URICK Rich —Forward—Junior Rich got his start on the Junior High School Team. During the second half of a game with Patton Town- ship “Rich sank shots from all comers. Since then Rich has been a very ag- gressive boy, with a strong desire to play good ball. He should do his best play- ing in his senior year. DONALD RIVARDO Duck —Guard—Senior Playing his last year of varsity ball, Duck is probably the most im- proved boy on the squad. He shoots exceptionally well from out front, and is also a fine playmaker. We will miss Don and his ex- cellent playing next year. THOMAS CAIN Tom —Forward—Senior Tom plays the pivot spot on offense. He is a cool and steady ball handler, and his terrific one hand shot racks up many points for his team. Tom has a wonderful attitude toward fellow players and coaches, and with his atti- tude and ability he should go far in the sports world. He is among the best ath- letes that graduated from Franklin. SPORTS ON BENNY GEBROSiTY Benny Guard—Freshman Benny in his first season with the varsity has shown the fans of what he is ca- pable. He has racked up many points with his fine set shot, and is a very calm, cool and collected ball player. “Benny should havo a great fu- ture in basketball in his re- maining years at Franklin. WALTER UHLIG Walter Center—Freshman Walter is another one of our very capable Sopho- more boys, whose first year with the varsity has shown what we can expect of him in future years. He has an excellent shot from any position on the floor, and is very adept at tip-ins. This year should prove of great value to him in giv- ing him experience. ROGER THOMPSON Rog —Guard—Sophomore Rog” with two years of Junior High playing expe- rience. has shown wonder- ful improvement during the last season with the varsity. He can always be relied upon to check the opponent with his excellent defensive play. We will look for- ward to seeing Roger play ball his remaining years at Franklin. EARL STOVER Freshman Right Fielder—Boy with a wonderful arm and strong desire to win. Hits a long ball. Has a great future in baseball. ROGER THOMPSON Sophomore Catcher — This is his first season as a catcher. He is a good receiver with a wonderful arm. This year’s experience should pave the way for future success dur- ing his high school career WALTER UHLIG Freshman Fielder—A fine fielder and defensive ball player. Ex- cels in bunting. He will see lots of action this year and will be a great help to the team. ROBERT BERTL Junior Left Fielder — Bob is a quiet Junior, but this has no effect upon his qualified handling of left field. He is especially good at fielding ground balls and fly balls REVIEW CARL SKENA Sophomore Shortstop — Carl is the Sophomore whom you see filling the gap between second and third base He throws and bats right handed and is a very cap- able fielder. He remains calm in tight spots. TOM CAIN Senior Pitcher — This is Tommy's fourth year on the team, and wo ve found him prac- tically indispensable. He has many games to his credit with his skillful right-handod pitching. This demon from White Valley will finish up in his last year. DONALD RJVARDO Senior Shortstop— Don who has previously pitched and played the outfiold has been switched to shortstop to steady an inexperienced infield. He's a very fine defensive ball player. JACK Me ALPINE Junior Center Fielder—-This com- petent Junior is often called upon to carry us through with right-handed batting and throwing. Jack patrols center field and can al- ways be counted upon to do his best as a base run- ner. GIRLS BASKETBALL TEAM First row—Left to Right, Mrs. Stephan. G. Yant, S. DeZanet. F. Rubright, J.
