Home and School Visitor Latin University of Pittsburgh We, the members of the class ot 1955, in acknowledgment and appreciation of the ser- vice and loyalty you have given us, are proud to dedicate this book to you-Mrs. O'Bryan. Both in your teaching and in your friendship you have given us the inspiration to reach out Six for ever higher goals. We will never forget the unselfishness with which you gave ot your time and talents in helping us during our high school days. For your understanding, devotion, and your many contributions to us, we thank you. 5602 1411091 Ahoy! Ye Freeport Board of Education di- rectors smiled with pride as they anxiously watched ye treasure chest being loaded in ye galleon FAHS . These stalwarts-Mr. H. Mast, Mrs. M. Gosser, Mr. C. Dininger, Mr. W. Keebler, Mr. H. Huey, Mr. R. Beale, Mr. R. Gardner, Mr. E. Taylor, Mr. F. Lee Myers, Mr. W. Wiegand, Mr. F. Herold, Mr. D. Patton, Mr. G. Hill, Mr. W. Bur- ford, Mr. H. Frampton-made up the Board of Education. As outstanding citizens, they carried out their duties so that the treasure chest was piled high with valuable coins and dazzling gems. They pondered over each problem, with the in- terest ot each crew member being forernost in mind. Through their sagacious planning, Free- port Area Joint High School possesses higher standards of education today. They cheered us along the voyage which proved to be a highly successful one. Through their wise utilization of the tax- payers' money, their conscientious e'FFort to make the correct decisions at the proper time, and their youthful vision of high school problems, they have achieved great progress. Seven I 1 1 lb k Intelligent, tolerant, friendly, and fair char- acterized our Admiral Benbow , Mr. F. Lee Myers, Supervising Principal of FAHS. Through masterful leadership he has guided the FAHS through calm and stormy weather, sustaining morale among the directors of the Board of Edu- cation, among students and faculty, so that the treasure chest mgiht be safely conveyed over the rough waters. Fishing and gardening occupy his leisure time. Official lady of ye galleon, Mrs. Margaret Gosser, won mates with her gentle charm. Her constant loyalty plus profound wisdom com- mended her to her wide circle of friends. A fine example of a perfect secretary. Ten Une Can 7ell F. LEE MYERS Supervising Principal Juniata College, B.

Full of school spirit Mr. Bush gained popularity among the mateys. Great credit accrues to Mr. Bush, the great- est skipper a ship could ever have. Her amiable disposition plus a keen in- terest in the pupils combined to make Mrs. McClain so pleasing. Her clever manner of planning was recognized as but one of the many skills she possesses in running the office eFfi- ciently.

Nine months ago math, physics, biology and chemistry were buried Social Studies Un'Vers'lY of P '5b '9h treasures, but now they are precise, glittering, polished possessions. Science Freshmen get their first lessons in citizenship under Mr. Briggs' instruc- tion. A very popular man at junior high, Mr. Briggs was the Freshmen's civic teacher and an enthusiastic sponsor of the Agricultural Club. Always calm, cool and collected Mr. Briggs made Freeport history and city problems an integral part of his classes. Jack-of-all trades certainly fitted the description of Mr. Carlson. You name it and he can do it-everything from teaching physics, chemistry, and handfing the lighting for many activities. His classes were considered the high point of the day by many of his students. Making sure that girls ushered for special occasions was one of the tasks of attractive Miss Rita Casarico. She was sponsor of the Ushers' Club and a wonderful math teacher besides. Mr. Chalmers, a very likable teacher, instructed his biology students in the whys and wherefores of the plant and animal kingdoms. The biology room was no place for the squeamish. Sponsor for the Hi-Y and also Sophomore Class advisor, he guided the Sophomores in their election of officers, Sophomore Hop, and many other Class activities. Mrs. Chioldi made work, that was normally difficult, easy with her pain- less method of teaching. Her patience with mistakes made the students wish to try even harder for a perfect paper. Her business-like manner and effi- ciency were contagious and left her classes with stronger than ever desires to develop business skills equal to hers. Always ready to lend a helping hand to one of his young charges. Seventh and Eighth graders got their tirst real glimpse into the things past and things to come as they learned their history from Mr. Cook. He coached the Junior High football team and advised the Junior High Varsity Club. Under her protective hand the play property committee performed well. Gosh, that wasn't bad at all! was a common quote from many a student after giving his discourse in Miss Emmerling's informal, but informative, public speaking class. Mrs. Helen Gales set example for us students by practicing good lead- RZT 'iam' Cusarico' B's' David G' Chalmers' 'B-5' ership herself. During our trials of deciding plans for the future, she was anon Stale Teachers Geneva College always there to help counsel us and do whatever possible in the way of Mathematics Biology General Science guidance. Mrs. Gales' plane geometry classes were certainly interesting, although not easy. Her amiable disposition plus a keen interest in her pupils combined to make Mrs. Johnston so popular. She zealously guided her students to appre- ciate English. One never left her class without having acquired more knowledge in the subject of English. She consumed many overtime hours as a wonderful sponsor for Student Council. Narcissus Chioldi, B.Ed. John C. Cook, B.S., M.Ed.

Neatness, accuracy, and speed were stressed in her transcription classes. Always had a good word for everyone. An enthusiastic teacher, Mr. Karl's methods of teaching helped his students to improve their reading, writing, and speaking. Mr. Karl kept his English classes lively and interesting for the iuniors and seniors. His firmness, vitality, and thoroughness inspired his students, First and 'Foremost in his mind was the best interest of the student. The name coach was almost reverently applied to Mr. Karrs. He won the respect of each member of his rugged football team and the school populace by his excellent coaching ability and sportsmanship. The power of suggestion worked well in Mr. Lehnert's art classes. The artistic and creative ability of his students certainly was exceptional. His art students were most responsive in designing fine advertisements for plays, dances, and numerous other activities. As faculty advisor Mr. McGary was in charge of supplies and the Chris- tian Youth Fellowship. Quiet and even-tempered Mr. McGary was well liked by all his students. He taught his classes the fundamentals of arithmetic in a pleasant, painless way. Always a grin and never a frown characterized Mr. Marshall. He kept his classes chuckling with his humorous stories, and students really enioyed his class periods. Cheerfully and clearly he explained such confusing matters as the organization of totalitarian government and Hamilton's idea for a federal bank. His amiable disposition made Mr. Marshall so popular. Always pleasant, Miss Nordsiek taught the simple easy method of mas- tering the arts of cooking, sewing, and other helpful household and per- sonal hints. The material was presented in such an interesting manner all the girls enjoyed their Home Economic classes. Mr. Parry taught history with ioviality and personality. Mr. Parry approached his subject in such an entertaining way that, before his classes knew it, they were as interested in the work as he was. Assisting Mr. Karrs in football, he helped the Yellow Jackets develop into a well-balanced team. Mary Karl, B.B.A. William J.

A popular teacher with the students was Mr. Prusick who stressed and strove for safer driving by students. Drive carefully, the life you save may be your own. That was the watchword of Mr. Pru- sick as he safely piloted the Drivers' Training Course through a suc- cessful year. The big, wide, wonderful world became real and small to eighth graders in the hands of one of their favorite teachers, Mr. John Ray. He zealously guided his students to appreciate geography. Friendly Mr. Runco had the understanding necessary for instruc- tion of business subiects. He liked quiet etficiency and accuracy, but certainly expected and coped with mistakes which became fewer and fewer as the year wore on. Energetic Mrs. Scholl enioyed great popularity among the girls as their physical education teacher. Under her supervision, they learned a variety of sports and rules of good sportsmanship. Quality and harmony described our chorus under the supervision of Mrs. Shaffer. Mrs. Shaffer achieved perfection in her choral groups. Not stopping with her strenuous schedule, she sponsored Candlelight, chorus carnival, and many others. It was always a pleasure to be part of any project Miss Shaner advised because her get-up-and-go about any activity really kindled enthusiasm. Miss Shaner always seemed to derive so much onioy- ment from teaching her students English. Adeptness characterized Mr. Teare, director of the school band. intricate routines and snappy new numbers planned by Mr. Teare increased the school spirit. He made us proud of our band by drill- ing and grooming them to be masters of their instruments. Safety first was the motto that Mr. Tiiattas impressed on 'the minds of the boys in his classes. Beautiful pieces of furniture came out of woodworking shop. The boys who made them learned 'their trade from Mr. Tiiattas. Elizabeth H. Shaffer, B.S. Muriel Shaner, B.S. Paul N. Teare, B.S., M.Ed.

West Chester State Teachers Thiel College Penn State College California State Teachers Vocal Music English Instrumental Music Industrial Arts Choral Music Mathematics Fourteen They Wrote The Zo A reassuring pat and a concerned look made Miss Turner, instructor of English, the students' friend. Literature and grammar made life more inter- esting under her tutelage. Miss Turner, a word-lover herself, aroused an appreciation of them in her Senior English classes. Although English was her special field, she expertly coached those memorable Senior plays. Under the capable leadership of Mrs. Vorko, the library was kept run- ning in an orderly manner. Mrs. Vorko and her librarians selected the acceptable reading matter for various realms of the literary world, making books available on special days for scheduled proiects. Advisor for the Hi-Y and in charge of the Merit bulletin boards still left Mr. Wadding quick to respond to the wants and whims of the students. Mathematics became much easier under his expert guidance. He was also an advisor of the Freshman Frolic which was a big success. Nothing could be named that Mrs. Wadding would not have been more than willing to do for anyone. Mrs. Wadding knew the tricks of efficient and thorough housekeeping and tried to pass the techniques on to her girls. Skill and artistry with a piece of wood and a friendly disposition char- acterized Mr. Yedlowski. Coach of the Junior Varsity basketball team, he taught his boys the fundamental techniques of basketball, which merited them a victorious year. His wonderful sense of humor made his Industrial Arts classes more interesting. Efficient Miss Yurchich knew her math books from cover to cover. Her ability to teach the fundamentals of mathematics exceptionally well helped many students think clearly and accurately. Coordinator of activities, Miss Yurchich was responsible for the smooth running of our Thursday activity period. A top-notch instructor of literature was Mrs. Zargo. Every other Tues- day ofthe month found this busy teacher advising the Senior Tri-Hi-Y. Under her supervision the club was very progressive. The seventh graders got their first taste of literature through Mrs. Zargo. She will always be remembered by her friendly smile. Always on hand and willing to help anyone who asked her-that's Mrs. Craig, our school nurse. Friendly and cheerful to all, she made her patients feel at ease. All aches and pains soon departed after a friendly talk with Mrs. Craig. Elizabeth Turner, A.B. Mary Kay Vorko, B.S. Allegheny College Clarion State Teachers English Librarian Richard V.

Three years it's been since we put to sea on our treasure hunt. Hoisting the lofty sails, we boarded the old galleon for the last lap in search for the treasure. As their last year got under way, they sailed the choppy seas which kept them bustling with the Harvest Dance , the sale of magazines, and the Senior Class Produc- tion, Seventeen Summer. This last year on ye old seafaring brig yielded many hearty experiences. The Senior Reception attended by many parents helped raise the morale of the crew. The launching of the Coronation Ball with the crowning of the May King and Queen splashed fame and fortune into the ship and its crew.

The Junior Prom was a jolly venture for the disembarking grads. And so the treasure hunt was over. Each senior had drawn his share of wealth from the chest. At ceremonies of Class Night, Bacca- laureate, and Graduation, some of the softies shed salty tears of sadness and joy. The long sought treasure, their graduation, would walk the waters with them for the rest of their lives. And now we must bid farewell to a fine cruise on a happy ship under good captains, Mrs. Gales, Mrs. Karl, Mr. Marshall, Mr. Prusick, Mrs. Shaffer, and Miss Turner.

They walked up the gangplank of the great FAHS that led them on a new and exciting expedition. The experienced sea-dogs launched a Sophomore Hop that kept them from being marooned, like Robinson Crusoe, on a desert island. It was a gala affair that enabled them to become acquainted with their mates in the upper classes.

Com- posed of hands drawn from all decks of our ves- sel, this sixty piece organization sparked the ac- tivities of the FAHS . Pep assemblies, parades, or accompaniment for various programs-the Blue and Gold was always ready to lend a note ot distinction. Practice began in August for the hearty crew as they looked forward with anticipation to a bursting schedule. These music-makers loyally attended each football game, and, during the half, they produced clever and novel entertain- ment with which no other schooner could com- pete. David Keener, Diane Lauffer, and Judy Myers, fortunate and accomplished mateys of this seaworthy schooner sailed on a salty sea of pride when they were given the top honor of attending district band festival. 7qmpaniA M N Row l-J.

Forty-nine Uic torivzw Uirta0AvA CIick, click, the characteristic sound that echoed on the main deck during fifth period was the mates' cue that the orchestra had begun to practice. Only many hours of practice could have produced the refined strains of the overtures and intermission numbers which pleased the sailors and their friends at maior performances like the class play and commencement. Because Mr, Teare, the gifted maestro with the responsive baton, drilled them so diligently, even the most involved selections were mastered. Heave out the main sail! Lifting melodies floated from room 115 each day that the Blue and Gold Chorus met. The singing seamen of ye great sailing brig, strove to keep spirits high. With Mrs. Shaffer as pilot, the chorus learned the tactics and correct procedure of a good singer. These young vocalists were likely to burst out into song in the gym, the halls, and even in classrooms. Often a iovial song was heard as they mended torn sails, spliced ropes, or scrubbed the decks. As a result of their endeavors, these shipmotes were able to swell the volume of the chorus during Candlelight, not to name other programs throughout the year. Through her tireless efforts, Mrs. Shaffer created a ready crew for next year's brig. Fifty Cannvnading C'lwmlleerA SINGING SAILORS Aloft there! Their steersman, Mrs. Shaffer, taught them to sing sharp, never be flat, and always to be natural. The fleet not only learned the words and music for a variety of melodies but they learned more and better tech- niques for creating good music. At each session the gobs prac- ticed breathing exercises which helped their voices to become more mellow and, therefore, produce the flawless tones often heard drifting out o'er the sea. PROFESSIONAL PERFORMERS Frequent entertainment provided by the ensemble was always eag- erly anticipated by the entire crew of the brigcmtine, FAH5 . The long voyage was spent in memorizing words, studying the fundamentals of music, practicing voice control, and learning the basic parts of harmony. The crew's applause revealed extreme satisfaction as these merry-makers performed under the direction of Mrs. Shaffer. MATURE MUEZZINS Our harmonious songbirds under the title of Senior Chorus forged ahead in diverse lanes of activi- ties. The unselfish and untiring efforts of the director, Mrs. Shaf- fer, proved fruitful. She was in- tensely interested in the cultivation of music tastes. Mrs. Shaffer's continuing labors with this organization and her at- titude toward the girls and boys combined to win the crew's whole- hearted support and their keen in- terest in learning about music. The district choral festival gave FAHS choristers an opportunity to participate. Those who attended were Judy Freeman, David Keener, Kathy Cramer, Judy Young, Bill West.

Many benefited from their friendly advice about problems from dressmaking to redecorat- ing a room. They were also very obliging in making cos- tumes for assembly programs. NEEDLEWORK CLUB Miss Gladys Nordsiek, an ardent needlework enthusiast herself, aided the girls who were interested in turning out valuables for their treasure chest. Yarn was sometimes tangled, stitches were often dropped, and knitting needles were occasionally sat upon, but spirits ran high. sig X23 ,MM y fp .Technical Trovpem gg? if M l y':ciENcE CLUB ' The development of Science rmed the backdrop of modern civili- zation.

HIA torical M14 Jandry Under the leadership of our librarian, Mrs. Vorko, and her crew of book lovers, the logs of ye great FAHS were kept in ship-shape condi- tion. Each literary fiend had a specific duty. The various iobs of these yoemen were related to arranging disheveled shelves, collecting over- due fines, and filing index cards. Clever arrangements of colorful book iakets decorated the bulletin boards, and weekly displays of the best-sellers created appeal for net or timely library riggings. These mariners made it possible for the new-bound sailors of the FAHS to become ac- quainted with the 'logs of the library. Sixty-one fiational Honor Society Honor has opened its door to sixteen wor- thy seniors. We knocked upon Honor's door seeking advice, and through the help of our sen- ior faculty members, we found it. These seniors possessing admirable characteristics and out- standing qualities in leadership, having shown helpful endeavor in school activities, and having acquired success through hard work and good scholastic ratings have won their place of dis- tinction in the National Honor Society. A chapter of the National Honor Society was started in the Freeport High School in 1925. A committee of twelve teachers and the principal rate the seniors in the upper third of the class. Fifteen per cent of the class may be elected. Congratulations to the following seniors from the class of '55: Robert Coffman, William Cramer, Judith Freeman, Joseph Gaydos, Joanne Hay, Robert Jones, Janet Keener, Barbara Ken- nedy, George Klinzing, Anita Piperato, Janet Renouf, Patricia Schwietering, Nancy Toy, Lor- etta Trettel, Rose Marie Venderlic, Eileen Viletto.

Qluture KuAineAA leadem of Nmerica The aim of the Future Business Leaders of they may have to make them useful and wo America Club is to provide a well-rounded stu- dent plus as much specialization toward a busi- ness career as time permits. Time has been spent in developing the in- dividual student's personality. More and more we are finding an increasing number of students who do not have the ability to learn a skill. Yet these people should have a knowledge of the basic principles of business for everyday living. With our assistance, this group will become use- ful citizens. It is therefore our iob to try to de- velop whatever desirable traits and abilities rth- while citizens. There are four basic principles which this club follows. They are: l. THINK for themselves. 2. Accuracy more important than speed. 3 Be particular and very critical of their own work. 4. Get along with others. Learning to get along with others, and prac- ticing the Golden Rule, will go a long way to- ward making successful, useful citizens.

He knew the F.A.H.S. man of war had to be made sea- worthy before laying out a course from home port. Coach had all hands on deck from early August until the middle of No- vember drumming the T and the Split T formations into our Yellow Jacket priva- teers. Even after they had lost their first game to Ford City, the Yellow Jackets kept up a steady pace. Coach Karrs was not caught swabbing the decksf' he has already started showing the '55 grid team the ropes. COACH KARRS Coach John Karrs finished the 'I954 season steersmen. Such a season's record despite close with a record of six wins, two losses and two . . f- tl - ties.
