Wars always bring unrest, sorrow and a feeling of insecurity. ln the face of these difficulties the faculty and stu- dents have put forth their best efforts to uphold the standards and tradi- tions of German Township High School, one of which is this Laureola. We have tried to picture life at German Township High School during this war year where we are endeavoring to prepare our students for war' or peace, hoping however that for most of them it will be the latter. A special tribute is due to the teachers and students who have gone out from this school to take their places on the battle-fronts of the world. When we think of their sacrifices, our own contribution to the war effort fades into insignificance. J, A. GAULT OUR SCI-IOGL -3- ,ree LAUREOLA'S COVER OUR HIGH SCHOOL GOES TO WAR In one of our early staff meetings, after we had decided to have a picture on the cover of our i944 year-book, the ques- tion came up-just what kind ot picture would be best for our cover, Some thought we should select one which would be det- initely l944, such as a picture of one ot our former graduates telling us ot some of his experiences after returning from over seas. Others thought a picture ot our High School would be best. Then came the idea to combine the two, and this seemed to please every member of the Staff. Then came the question of who the soldier should be, as there was hardly a day that passed without some service man or woman visiting us. Some thought he should be a sailor, others said the Marine uniform was tar prettier. We were getting nowhere when it was suggested that we use a picture of the very next service man or woman graduate returning from over seas duty who visited us and consented to talk to us about some of his experiences, The sugges- tion was accepted and that man was Tech.

This settled the question of our cover picture without a dissenting voice. lt seemed to be just what the staff wanted. They are definitely war-minded. The suggestion that we picture the plaques of our communities opposite our dedication page was immediately agreed upon. These plaques list many of our boys and girls in service and some who have died in battle. We are indeed proud of them. Q4 The metamorphosis that war has caused is even more sig- nificant than is known to the average citizen who reads that there is a serious teacher shortage, that women are teaching wli, shop subjects and even coaching football teams, l-lere at German we were able to cope with the situation by shifting teacher per- sonnel to some extent. l-lowever, many of our students have l l A left school to go to work in war defense factories. Many of our f older boys are working in part-time and full-time jobs while mb still attending school, earning more than their teachers, A and, incidentally, coming to school and boasting about it. The fact that American students buy enough War Stamps in one .-ga' xg year to give Uncle Sam twenty-five destroyers, or 300 Flying Fortresses, or more than a million Garand rifles cannot be over- looked.

Ever present and ready to ser SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Little did the Freshmen realize what was in store for them back in '39 when they first entered through the doors of G. T. H. S. The graduating class of l944 has had many exciting events during the four years that they've been here. Let's go back a few years when we were Freshmen. During that year Virginia Kennison was President, Evelyn Ho- vanec was Vice President, John Savanick was Secretary, and they had been very successful in making our Freshman year a pleasant one. A class party was given which enabled everyone to become better acquainted and gain new friends for the coming years. Now, we advance to the Sophomore year which was more interesting than the first. With such leaders as Eddie Baer as President, Helen Ungurean as Vice President, and Mary Maher as Secretary, we were able to have a class party that was enjoyed by all. Everyone cooperated to the fullest extent. We were growing up now that we became Juniors. lt seemed that the main attraction throughout the year was the fact that we were getting class rings. Frank LeDonne was President then, and Evelyn l-lovanec was Vice President, with Joseph Olenik as Secretary. This year, due to difficul- ties, our officers could not arrange a class party. The students entered into every field of activity in the school which made the term go very quickly. The last term, which seems to have come almost instantaneously, was our best, but the only odd circumstance was that we had no other class ahead of us to look up to. We were there now, with no one to guide us. We didn't need guidance-our class was able to stand on its own ground firmly. This year the class elected Joe Raubaugh as President, John Turlik as Vice President, Helen Ungurean as Secretary, and Betty Yaworsky as Treasurer. These officers, with the aid of the class, had a party, several dances, Senior Assembly, Senior Play, and the most important activity, the Senior Ball, to which everyone looked forward. A few irregular activities this year have helped a number of boys from the Senior Class to take tests to enroll in various branches of the Service. As for the girls, a large number has been interested in the course of nursing. The class has been reduced somewhat because some of our boys are out helping Uncle Sam. Jim Hetes is in the Army, Frank LeDonne, Robert Blanch, and Bill Kittridge are in the Navy. Yes, we Seniors look on with pride and glory in our hearts, because each of us is doing his share in contributing to win peace for the United States and her allies. This is a great country to live in, so, Seniors, make ylrour future life worth while, whether it will be on land, in the air, or on t e sea. ,281 xx E t x PLEDGE TO FLAG I Pledge Allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for l'Vl1ich It Stands, One Nation Indivisible with Liberty and justice for all.

Having survived the inces- sant ridicule of the upper classmen, we devoted ourselves to the attainment of a prerequisite for later years. That year we chose as our President, Ann Markatan, Vice President, Phyllis Sharpnack, Secretary, Lois Stilwell, Our major activity that year was the Freshman Party, regarded by all as a memory long to be cherished. During the following year our activities were limited due to various restrictions brought on by war. However, we partook in an earnest desire to improve the standards of our school As a result of the election of officers for the Sophomore Class, Lois Stilwell became Presdent, with Ann Markatan as Vice President and Ed Bilpuch as Secretary. ln the fall of '43 we had advanced to that for which we had long strived --upperclassmen. Determined to become a class long remembered, we were duly represented in the field of sports, numerous assemblies and various clubs. When the rain of ballots finally ceased, the ,Junior Class had as its leaders Joe Gurtis, President, Mike Bokatch, Vice President, Lois Stilwell, Secretary, and Mike Bozick, Treasurer. The outstanding events of this term were the Junior Class Party of February 25 at the High School gym, and the Junior Class Play, Good Night, Ladies, which were thoroughly enjoyed by all.

This was brought home strikingly when Rudy and Bill K., while both, oblivious to teaching in any form, suggested that they be given a period to hold classes for boys who wanted to brush up on Math which might help them if called into the Armed Forces. Special Math books which dealt with Aviation Mathematics were used and the class under the general direc- tion of a Mathematics teacher has done a very acceptable piece of work. Then there was the case of the boy who asked if he might prepare a special report on electricity in physics class because he had noticed that Navy tests dwelt a great deal on this subject. It is indeed serious, One day I walked over to Joseph's desk, ready to reprimand him for his failure to pay attenton while Virginia was explaining a two-cycle engine. Joe, I said, please hand me that paper you are working on. To the basket with it, my friend. Gosh, no, not this time, grinned Joe, it's my draft questionnaire l'm filling out. -And when talky Mary gives me her excuse for not being in school Thursday and Friday because she had gone to New York to see her brother off to England, then I know that things are different in school today. One needs only to visit our school to see how things have changed. On our class bulle- tin boards, once for the proud display of notes on how to scan an Elizabethan sonnet or conjugate the irregular verbs, posters now speak of Blood Banks, A Jeep Campaign, Greek War Relief or How to I-lelp Civil- ian Defense. But today it's total war with the stu- dents of German Township. It is in their every thought. Although it is Macbeth we are studying, it is I-litler and barbarism who go on trial. Macbeth's hounding of Macduff's wife and children is no different from the mass murder in Lidice, we conclude. The war gives purpose to every class today. I know it when the students rush to a window at the hum of a plane, identify it 137- I TOP-Left to Right Pvt. Carman Guappone, Cpl. Nixon Davis, Pfc. Steve Tandrich SECOND ROW- Pvt.

I feel it when I drop in at the gym. ln the minds of the boys there, one seems not only to sense wrestling and football, but also thoughts of scaling an eight-foot wall, crawl- ing under a barrier with an eighteen-inch clearance or jumping a ditch two feet deep and seven feet wide. Our music, too, has gone to war. There has been hardly an assembly program with- out one or two war songs supplementing such things as talks by returning soldiers and sail- ors, outstanding among which was one given by our former Athletic Coach, Lt. Louis Rossi, of the United States Navy who gave us a very interesting account of some of his experiences at sea. All in all, we can say that German Town- ship High School is definitely war-minded. 8 - 7944 President ,AA.A ..., D olores Richardson Vice President e.ee.. ,e,.e.w.eee s Ann Kavach Secretory A.eeev..e ......e,..

Wright When the I943-44 school term started, there was a ques- tion on the face of many stu- dents. It happened that mast everyone was in doubt as to whether or not we would be able to again publish o year- book. Regardless of priorities, manpower problems, paper shortages and other inconven- iences due ta the war, the Staff under Mr. Wright's supervision started to work and soon made known the fact they could put out a book which would compare favorably with any Laureolo ever published in the school, war or no war. This action was prompted by the many, many letters from alumni service-men and women who insisted that a yearbook should be published because in addition to its many other values, it is a great morale builder for our boys and girls in the Service. IMITIGCIIOTGIY pictures of the Seniors Gnd other classes were taken so that they could be mounted by the staff members, discussan took place and the new padded cover was decided upon, material was collected for the write-ups, the business staff became ad-con- scious and campaigns were inaugurated to boost the sales. After all of this and more too, the book was well under way, and this is the finished product. The Staff wishes to express their thanks to Mr. Gault for the cooperative spirit he showed during the course of the publication, Mr. Bryon for his aid in the advertising field, Mr. Nickey for his printing and to Mr, Wright for his picture work and 'without whose general assistance we could never have published this book. 3 1 11320 ,441 guna-M mman - Jfi !Vew4 Rv Soon after the first classes entered German Twp. High School, the first school paper was printed, in booklet form, bearing the name of Micro- scope, In the fall of l93O, members of all school papers of Fayette County had a joint staff meeting. It was decided that the booklets were no long- fashionable. The outcome of this meeting was the introduc- tion of a four-page newspaper called the German Hi News. Under the title it has been consistently printed until the present time. Again in l944 the German Hi News has ranked as one of the leading extra curricular g , activities in the school. Under - . N A the supervision of Thomas Hartley, faculty advisor to whom we are deeply indebted, and through the management of co-editors, Virginia Kennison and Marilyn Weller, the staff, composed of twenty-eight members has continued the high standards set by preceding staffs. This year the German Hi News organization was instrumental in sending a copy of each issue to members of the armed forces who had attended our school. Through the efficient work of Carolyn Valensic and Helen Ungurean, over one hundred fifty copies of the paper were sent regularly, both in the states and overseas. No paper is quite complete without a sports section and, in order to gain first hand information, members of the football, basketball, and wrestling teams, who also had journalistic ability, were chosen as sports editors. The credit for this paper is claimed by Rudy Boyle, Joe Raubaugh and Joe Gurtis. Each class was represented by its own class reporters. Senior reporters were Faye McCartney, Joe Olenik, Betty Ann Patterson, Helen Ungurean, Carolyn Valensic and Eddie Baer. The Juniors responsible for editing the news from the class of '45, were Gladys Hiles, Patricia Reese, Lois Stilwell, Alwilda Johnson, Ruth Ellen Flemming, Thelma Hobaugh, Steve Kovach, Esther Hutzel and Antoinette Susa. From the Sophomore class the reporters were John Shuss, Jane Kennison, Delores Richardson and Louise Vayda. Elinor Newcomer and Ellen Maher were the capable Freshmen selected to repre- sent the class of '47, As the typist, Louise Kurtik must be given credit for her fine work. Advertising is an important phase in publishing a newspaper. The Advertising Man- agers, under the direction of Miss Ruth Wcod, Faculty Business Manager, did a fine job. Those who had full responsibility for the advertising were Alwilda Johnson, Eleanor San- tella, Marilyn Weller, Mary Senyitko and Virginia Kennison. The German Hi News provides an opportunity for creative writing among the stu- dents. lt is the medium through which news and student opinion is expressed, and through its policy it encourages school enterprise, promote good scholarship, and unifies school spirit. -45.. ...K fVa,l'ianal Jfcmafz Soni . I . Q? ln December, l943, the secretary ofthe National Honor Society of Secondary Schools granted permission for the faculty Of the German Township High School to or- ganize a National Honor Society, A commttee of students and faculty wrote a consti- tution which was accepted by the national board, The society was named for the late John W. Williard, prominent German Township educator. Students are selected for outstanding qualities in Scholarship, Leadership, Charac- ter and Service. No more than lOfMp of the senior class and 'SW of the junior class are eligible. The first induction service was held in the high school auditorium on February l5, l944. Dorothy Wright and Helen Stefanko of the Carrie A. Ross Chapter of the National Honor Society of Masontown High School assisted with the service. The following officers and members were inducted: Betty Yaworsky, president, Rudy Boyle, vice president, Marie Richnafsky, secretary, Anna Manzuk, Virginia Kennison, Joseph Olenik, Carolyn Valensic, Eleanor Hopkins, Dorothy Smore, Ruth Hiles, Donald Plava, Helen Pastor, Anne Yakovac, Ruth Gray, and Helen Kozer, Members of the senior and junior classes were guests. Mrs, Daisy Stilwell and daughter, Jean, of Masontown, daughter and granddaugh- ter of John W. Williard, were special guests. On April 4, i944 the junior members were inducted at a service held in the high school auditorium, The members of the sophomore and freshman classes were guests. The junior members were: Ann Markatan, Charles Wilson, Ardafay Davis, Gladys Hiles, Rose Racic, Jack Smodic, Martha Shaffer, Thelma Hobaugh, Ruth Ellen Flemming, and Re- gina Nevlud. Faculty sponsors are Miss Melinda Fiat and Thomas D. Garbart .46- 7f1i-Ali-W Glad T41 To build a better world, ready I must be is the thought that is behind the actions of the Tri-Hi-Y Club. This club tries to help equip every girl who is one of its members with those mental, spiritual, and physical qualities that will aid her in being able to go out into the world and make it a more desirable place in which to live. This year the remaining members of the Alpha Tri-Hi-Y and Beta Tri-Hi-Y of l943 have combined under the supervision of Miss Hague to form the Alpha Tri-Hi-Y which is composed of approximately fifty girls. Twice a month these girls meet during the lunch hour and the activity period to have their regular meetings. lt is through the programs which may be either spiritual, social, or educational that are put on at the meetings that the members receive most of their benefits. Always the success of a group is largely determined by the group of members who comprise the officers. The officers of the Tri-Hi-Y who led the club during this school term were: Pres. Mary Maher, Vice President Evelyn Hovanec, Secretary Helen Un- gurean, and Treasurer Louise Vayda, These girls enjoyed a successful year in their offices and they made the club a real pleasure to all who belonged to it. With graduation goes some of the best members of every group and the Tri-Hi-Y will suffer the loss of several of its best workers and past officers, The Seniors who are to leave the club this year are: Faye McCartney, Anna Manzuk, Ruth Hiles, Betty Yawor- sky, Betty Ann Patterson, Marilyn Weller, Helen Ungurean, Carolyn Valensic, Virgin'a Kennison, Mary Maher, Evelyn Hovanec, ,lean Momeyer, Eula Jean Messenger, Eleanor Hopkins, Mary Coffman, Eleanor Puskar, Betty Witt, Helen Kozer, and Betty Gray. -47- ww nzwzawpfu, em Q X my 68 N ers if sl , XSSKSS s X 1 E X .

The purpose of the club is to allow students who are interested! in photography to acquaint themselves with the developing and print- ing processes. The members learn how to develop roll and sheet films, how to make contact prints and enlargements. The chairman of the club is Faye McCartney. lt is her duty to help new members become acquainted with the dark room facilities and teach them the fundamentals of making and developing pictures, to see that a sufficient supply of developers, hypo, and other materials are in stock. The assistants are Robert Boord, Edward Poole, and Charles Wilson, who assist the chairman in over-seeing the darkroom, schedules and work. There is a definite schedule for each member of the club ranging from a double period every week to a single period every two weeks. The following students are members: Joseph Olenik, Ruth Ellen Fleming, Ruth Gray, Thelma l-lobaugh, Mary Coffman, Edward Poole, Betty Farnella, Tommy Younkin, Joe Owens, Edward Bilpuch, Philip Pope, Eddie Baer, Frank Liposak, Hilda l-lumberston, Eleanor l-lopkins, Mildred Glumsic, Carolyn Valensic, l-lelen Ungurean, Joe Glagola, Mike Bokach, Betty Yaworsky, Irene Augustine, Charles Wilson, Fred l-lenderson, Joe Kovach, Vance Blanc, Ann Markatan, Elaine Clearage, William I-lrivnak, Blaz Gusic, Ruth Cowell, Martha Shaffer, Genevieve Oziemblowski, Albert Sheranko, Paul Martinkovic, Mary Margaret l-lostetler, Paul Glogola, VVill'arn Bryan, Robert Boord, Virginia Kennison Gladys l-liles, Edward Bobin- check, William Guidas and Faye McCartney. -43- 7!w fidamq Glad The Library Club has not been able to function as actively in our school this year as in former years because the small room reserved for the library is now used, also, for a class room. This condition limits the service of the library to our students both in time and material. At present our reference material numbers about six-hundred volumes, and fiction one-hundred and fifty volumes. Many of the reference books are showing hard usage and all the fiction books are badly worn. A number of popular magazines are available to students in all departments. Of these, Popular Science, Popular Mechanics, The National Geographic, Good Housekeep- ing, and Better Homes and Gardens are in great demand. The care of the library has fallen almost entirely to students, as teachers were not assigned to library duty during the term, These students form the Library Club which con- venes when an occasion arises that calls for instruction or consideration. The service carries no material rewards from the school, but is the most responsible service rendered by our students. Our appreciation and hearty cooperation should be given to this group at all times. Members of the club are: Katherine Baron, Mary Capitoni, Virginia Coffman, Kath- ryn Daugherty, Elsie De Palma, Ruth Gray, Thelma Hobaugh, Eleanor l-lopkins, l-lilda Kess- ler, Mary Maher, Nancy Reeves, and lrene Yaniga. 14 Q.- '7!w Bam! 'J As students of German Township, along with our faculty and alumni we have reasons this year, more than ever, to take great pride in our High School Band. We feel that each and every person or persons being connected in any way with this organ- ization has put forth an honest effort likely to be noticed in the band itself. The atti- tude or our direct members seems to be set on attaining one goal-that is to put our band on the high standard to which it rightfully belongs. The appearance of our band in uniform seems to have given our whole school the needed zest on many various occasions, namely, football games, basketball games, pep meetings, our annual graduation ceremonies, and last but not least, our willingness in at- tending ceremonies for the dedication of service plaques. lf this is the condition existing now, then the time to come should and will prove even more helpful in maintaining for the musical portion of our school, an organization worthy of the credit bestowed upon it. .-501 OUR DIRECTOR Our director, Mr, Frank Wright, to some of us was a complete stranger, to others, and old friend and music teacher, when he took the leader's stand at the beginning of this term. As a leader and teacher he has proved worthy of much credit in adding to our music department. Aside from managing the band and orchestra he has started many underclassmen on what may turn out to be a decisive factor in many of their lives. Mr. Wright was completely unaware of the conditions prevailing in our music de- partment, but through his tireless efforts to make the best of things and the apprecia- tion displayed when he was being helped, he has gained by leaps and bounds toward being one who is mainly responsible for the musical portion of our school activities. Although some of our best players are leaving us this year, as is the usual way, we feel that this will not lower our standards in music because there are underclassmen who can fill in these spaces and carry on to the full extent of their ability. We all can hope for the best under Mr. Wright. ,, ,',,, TH E ORCH ESTRA f X Our orchestra, although not as large in membership nor RQ sg quite as popular as our band, holds an important role in our, ,, nzzlnivllnn ff., school activities.

All we can say is for these students to keep up their fine work. lviv i , ,, .....51- SENIOR PLAY The Seniors presented as their class play the comedy, The Doctor Has a Daughter, The ploy recounted the hectic adventures of Miss Tommy Billings, a small town sub-deb endowed with an ever active imagination. ln her attempt to make every body happy, she succeeded in getting them in hot water instead. When o wealthy spinster, Miss Cassandra Thorn, visited the family and Tommy tried to revive on old romance, the ensuing complications almost taught her o lesson. With answering Lonely Hearts advertisements, rewriting the school play, patching up broken hearts and various other projects, Tommy had a busy time before she finally emerged triumphant. Tommy and her associates provided excellent entertainment and plenty of laughs. Cast: Tommy Billings Dodo Grants sss,s, L Cleoto L s,s,ss, Mrs. Billings ,a,sss Doc.

When their arrival was delayed, Sam Raleigh and his pal, Jug Brown, decided to impersonate them. Sev- eral new students were drown into the deceit, as was Professor Dex- ter.

With the beginning of school came also the opening of the football season for German Township, under the supervision of Coach Jesso and assistant Coach Hrivnak. Another time for gaiety and joy among the throngs and cheers of the tremendous crowds as the German Township Eleven demonstrated their ability and courage in one of America's favorite sports. A sad beginning however, made the team look rather slow against an experienced Brownsville team, our first game due to a rush of schedules. After ironing out the defects, the boys made a comeback at Trinity, where they played a hard fought game and a large experienced team, resulting in a scoreless tie. A week later the German team took their positions on the Johnstown field where to our sorrow, we lost another hard fought game. The tables turned however for the team scored a complete victory over the Georges team on their own field. On October l5, the team again scored a victory, defeating South Union 20-O. In that game German Township displayed an excellent example of ability and courage when Raubaugh received a South Union kick on his own 49 in the second quarter and romped the remaining 5l yards for German's second score, the longest run of the game, The last three games were lost to our opponents, Redstone, Monessen, and Mason- town. But even in defeat our boys have accomplished what any winning team would envy and that is respect from the officials and coaches for a fighting team to the end and also a clean, sportslike attitude from the players.

Then Uncle Sam stepped in and we lost two of our star players, which placed the team on a very low standard of morale.

One way to achieve physical fitness, is to take an active part in the World of Sports which in America has built brown, sturdy, and outstanding men, which has been more than an auxiliary to those sons, Sweethearts and fathers, who are fighting amidst the burst of bombs and shells. Among the many sports in America, Wrestling stands out as foremost-the sport with a future. A few years ago German Township introduced to Fayette County the sport of Wrest- ling. Enjoying moderate but over the average success, the first few years saw the sport running strongly and gaining popularity in the estimation of the rapidly growing wrest- ling fans. Then for no apparent reason and at the time when we had finally developed a team that could take their place with leaders of W. P. in the wresting field, this sport was dropped, but was however revived this year with our team being coached by Pop Ellwood, a fine wrestler himself. This sport tends to develop self-reliance for at the time of a match there are just two contestants-you and your opponent. And as we, the class of '44 leave this High School, nothing could please us so much as to see the art of wrestling remain so outstand- ing in the World of Sports.
