The duties and responsibilities of the Teen-Age Representatives varied from time to time, and alternated among the students chosen to represent each room. The club is functioning in a tip-top way, and the club members, as well as the representatives have done much to encourage its success. Two Sleepy People 29 girl 14 tltletic 14 Avciation The Girls Athletic Association under the di- rection ot Miss June Vorce was very active as usual this year to keep the reputation which they have so strenuously earned. Besides the Volley- ball and Basketball Tournaments, the members engaged in other sports such as bowling, hikes, roller skating, and ice skating. Their chief money yan -I . . making projects were their skating parties and the sale of pencils. The Fiesta Formal was one of the finest social events of the year.

It will be their duty, to apply this knowledge to their lives. Their success is in their own hands, and we are confident that it could have no better executors. 36 Crip tal ga ing As l sit here gazing into my crystal ball the sands of time are whirling and slowly forming a picture of the class of 1948 in the future. It is the night of their twentieth reunion, which is being held in the fabulous Zephyr Room at Ernie Gorris's night club. Joseph Borkowski, the master of ceremonies, and president of the class, is conducting the entertainment for the occasion. As the lights grow dim the spotlight brings into view the orchestra of Bill Ross with vocalists Beryle Mains and Forrest Serena. Sit- ting on the sidelines is that Deep River Quartet , lsounds better under wateri awaiting their cue to sing Nobody Knows How Dry I Am . This group consists of La Verne Norton, Gerry Bloom, George Radovich, and Bob Wawrzeniak. Burnsie now introduces his right hand man, lseated at the leftj Dan Korinko, who will offer a toast to the gay old times shared by all at our Dear Alma Mater. While dinner is being served, several of the guests are interviewed by the announcer, Norbie Franklin, from station WDYK. lWhat Do You Knowi broadcasting on a frequency of D. F. ldif- ficultyj Norbie first encounters Peggy Gatto, who has the latest new look. She tells him of the suc- cess of her branch Beauty Salons which are situ- ated in all sections of the country. A slight wave of static is caused by Mike Kurta tripping over the cord. It was obvious to Norbie that Mike had been very prosperous in his affiliation with George Kokayko and Tommy Jewart in the trucking busi- ness. Their motto is, lf lt's Gotta Go, Truck lt. Spotting a few late arrivals, Norbie strolls over to chat with Marian Salmon, Betsy Randolph, and Dolores Pernick. Marian is supervisor of floral arrangements at the Swank Flower Shoppee. The sparkle of the rings on Betsy's finger distracted Norbie while he talks to Dolores concerning her world-wide travels. The meal is kept lively by the iesting be- tween Grace Godfrey and Rita Gabauer, who are still up to their old antics. But this is stopped as everyone's attention is turned toward Dolores Ogurchak as she verifies the fact that she is still unapproached by all other women with a gift of gab, as she tells about the cute remarks of Baby Dodo. Burnsie now raps for attention as he intro- duces the Mammy singer, Willie Donofrio, and his dancing partners, The Twinkle Toe Trio, Lois Bell, Nancy Wampler, and Donna Belusar. This act is now appearing weekly at the Follies which is produced by Anthony DeJulius and directed by Cliff Lapsley. The manager of the theater is Edgar Case. Next on the agenda is that featured soloist, Evelyn Bodus, accompanied by the magic fingers of Dawn Smith which are playing I Ain't Got No-Body. The following act is Don Gorecki playing English Class Blues on his golden saxo- phone. The closing performance is a humor- ous skit put on by Dolly Borelli and Marilyn Byer- ly, both of whom have taken the matrimonial vows, depicting a scene from Mother Wore Tights. Happy-That's the way to be! Seated at one of the larger tables, is a group of teachers relating some of their classroom ex- periences. Babe Kastan tells of his effortless fif- teen minute explanations in Trigonometry. Tom Witkowski, the noted French teacher, gives an ac- count of his class which causes an outburst of hilarious laughter. There have been a few other changes in the faculty, including Angela Kasmier who is in charge of the Home Economics Depart- ment showing the students the fundamentals of burning water. Ruth Karap teaches the finer points of gymnastics. The conversation drifts to sports as Angela asks Coach James Kemp lll who will be in the lineup for the first game which will be played at the recently completed stadium at the Ninth Street grounds. He tells them his hopes are high because of his two efficient assistants, Paul Usko and Richard Wesolowski. As for the other sport which attracts the fans, basketball is placed next to football. The team that repre- sented our class is split up and many of them are now noted for their ability in advising college teams of the country. Jim Weber is at Columbia, John Sabolic at Dartmouth, Bobby Klob at Cor- nell, and Guy Zebrowski at Notre Dame. In the smoking room a few of the industrial- ists are discussing the various methods of business contracts. Bill Slafka and John Slepecki have iust come back from a conference at the Copper- weld. Bill Cothery has the beer concession for Allegheny County. Denny Ecoff has iust been Who laid that egg??? promoted to chief cook and bottle washer at lsaly's. Tom Cagney, having completed his train- ing at Annapolis, is owner of the Cagney River Boat Transportation Company. Not to discredit Tom, but his first three boats sank land not in the bathtub.J Clyde Brodell is vice-president in charge of Fluffy Mattress Testing, and complains that it is a very tiring job. Glenn Lust, a prom- inent banker, enioys all the small pleasures of iuggling the books. CHe's an acrobatl Joe Bry- lanski, the postmaster, is quite satisfied with his position of reading the penny postcards. Don Teahan is managing the Sons of Ireland Club of America. Leonard Stetz has organized another Polish Aristocrat Band in which Arthur Tudek plays the triangle, Richard Kaska is on the cym- bal fhe had better watch or he may fall offl, George Synkoski on the drums, and Flo Zielinski strums softly on the harp. Catherine Conley, seeing that her nose is shiny, asks Regina Pasinsky to accompany her to the lounge. Upon entering they hear the former Alberta Kostkas, now a Mrs., telling her neigh- bor Evelyn Eichost, that the pastries from Jim Di- mitroff's Bakery were the best she had ever eaten. That subiect reminds Vince Como of her latest en- terprise, Cookie's Cracker Crumbs. Phyllis Griv- na, Margie Kasmarik, and Betty Lou Hubbard are exchanging baby formulas and the finer points of good housekeeping. Della Pomocky, Kathryn Gardner, and Grace Keim are demonstrating some of the technicalities of modeling to Eleanor Lanyi and Norma Zeleznik who are now private secretaries in a large Wall Street firm. Betty Salvador and Ida Mae Prettyman are clerks in a woman's clothing store which is owned by Vera Knaus and Mildred Blasco. Sitting in front of the mirror, repairing the damages, are Theresa Ickie- wicz and lrene Kwiatkowski comparing their tips for the week earned at Tom Gibson's Restaurant, Brown Nose Haven. Listening to all the gossip from the grapevine are Elinor Book, Dorothy Kor- posh and Dorie Easton, who are nurses at Kenny Liebn!l's KET Klinic. Strolling into the Cocktail Lounge, Landy DiMarco and Richard Bell who are joint owners of the local pool parlor, meet Cecilia Sowa and Dolly Kushner. Cecilia is hostess at the Mazur Hotel, while Dolly can be found daily behind the counter at Dom Brylanski's Record Center. At the bar Harold Hale, famous movie executive iust back from Hollywood, and AI Petrosky, his yes- man, are reminiscing with Larry Swartz, the lead- ing man, about his latest picture, Insomnia In- corporated. Co-starring with Larry is Theresa Belkowski, better known as The Cheese Cake. Feeding the iuke box is Charles Brooks, recently elected District Attorney. Waiting for the music to begin is Elmer Gabauer and his partner Dor- othy Lykowski, The Two Tops Dancing Team. Joe Tyskiewicz and Irene Golik are also on the floor iwill the bouncer please pick them up?J Joe is a member of the Big Five basketball team which is touring the country. Irene is an Air Stewardess on the W. F. H. iWe Fly Highi airlines. Criticizing their technique are three dancing instructors, Nancy Lee Gay, Marcella Cologie, and Claire Borosky from the Ballroom Dancing School. On the terrace, taking advantage of the fresh air, are Bill Thomas, main pants presser at Tony Pepe's cleaning establishment, Bill Bonadio and Angelo Tarli. Bill Bonadio is now a used car dealer who advertises the following, If there's a Ford in your future, we've got it. Angelo, a famed archaeologist, has flown from Egypt in time for the reunion and reports that the girls over there have acquired the longer new look. Bill Aiken is giving a mute illustration of a piano rhapsody, Browsing on the Bars written by Erma Betzner. Bill Lokash and Angelo Schinosi are scoutmasters of troop 903 iwooshi. Back in the dining room are found Tommy Bell, the drummer boy of the Bugle Corps, and Theresa Carneval, dean of Irene Kaduke's finish- was ing school for girls, lingering over their coffee. Ed Urbanski, our chief of police, and Jim Tiberi, head of the F. B. I. CFunny Business Institutei, are having a last minute adieu. Waiting for them are Stan Savage and Ed Pasinski, the tax collec- tors fvery popular fellowsl, talking about politics. As Shirley Schmitt and Blanche Zarski receive their coats from the hat-check girl they see Mary Lou Beattie and Josephine Schinosi coming to- ward them. These are the four renowned Mur- phy Girls. Charles Lere arrived too late for us to question him about his activities since we saw him last. As the reunion draws to a close the sands in my crystal ball are obscuring the figures from my sight. I, Madame Booble Goom, must now leave you with these parting and never-to-be forgotten words of advice: Be sharp, feel sharp, look sharp, eat razor blades. The moral of this seance is: Never try to prophecy because only time will tell. Friends-that's what we are. C1444 0 I 94 9 To the Junior Class is left the necessity of living up to the standards set by the classes preceding them.

Mr. McKee1a, as mentor of both the football and baseball reams, is a well known figure in this region. His congenial spirit has made him popular among his colleagues iust as his teams have brought recognition to the school. We hope he will have many more successful seasons. 44 Our first away game was at McKeesport where the team fought a hard battle but suffered a 20-7 defeat. Our boys showed good sports- manship by playing clean and hard fought ball. But let's remember that we play McKeesport again and maybe the tide will turn. For our second away game we traveled to Clairton where the boys carried the bacon home for Glassport. The score was 21-6. Our first sectional league game was played on Sept. 'I2 with Homestead. Homestead boasted of a big line and a fairly large-built backfield. After the first quarter the boys began to play ball the way they knew how, and the score ended in our favor. Glassport 26-Homestead 13. For our third game we traveled over the mountains to Johnstown. We couldn't do it this time, but Johnstown was worried until the last minutes of the game. The Gladiators suffered a 26-l 2 defeat there. Our second sectional win came when we went to Clairton to play the Elizabeth Warriors. Although it appeared a hard fought battle the game was in our favor all the way. Glassport 25 -Elizabeth O. The boys next went to Wilmerding where they beat the Wildcats just as badly as they had beaten us last year. The score winding up, Glass- port 20-Wilmerding 0. This was the third league victory for the Glads. The Gladiators dropped a real heartbreaker and suffered their lone league defeat at Swiss- vale. Held on even terms the whole game by the inspired Swissvale eleven, Glassport saw the game stolen T4 to 7 by a last minute desperation pass. Glassport captured their fifth victory by de- feating Derry Twp. 20 to 6. This being the first year that Glassport knocked Derry out of the race for section championship. K. Liebel, M. Kurta, J.

Capping the Section by easily drubbing Plum Hi. Babe Kastan and XVII crown without too much difficulty they went Jim Weber led the scoring with T7 and lO points on to bigger things. A resume of the season is: respectively. Glassport, 52-Plum Twp. 22. Our coach has again put Glassport in the sports headlines. His record Q with previous Gladiator teams has shown them winning seven sectional l championships out of ten. Mr. Whirl stresses a strong defensive attack and . has proven its worth. He has been acclaimed one of the finest coaches in the district by many sports fans. His methods of accomplishing better than average teams are strict regulations, employing new offensive tactics, and requiring good team material. We are sure that in the future he will have a great deal of success in building championship teams. Mr. Whirl, Coach J, Sabolic, J. Orlando, R. Murphy, Managers 50 The Whirlmen won the first home game of the season by trounc- ing Rankin. After the first half the Jackrabbits couldn't get within striking distance of the Glassport lead.

Jim Jefferson starred on the offense while Radovich played well defensively. Glassport, 52-Plum Twp., T7. The defense of both teams figured prominently as the Glads chalked up their fourth win. With the score knotted at the end of the regulation game, Jim Weber came thru with a field goal to win the contest in an overtime period. Glassport, T2-West New- ton, TO. The Glads looked like champions against an inferior opponent on the home floor. The Whirlwind shooting and passing showed an indication they would be one of the best teams we have had for many years. Smokey played a good floor game, scoring T4 points. Glassport, 48--Peters Twp., 28. Glassport was evenly matched by a hard fighting Hornet team. The Glads had many scoring opportunities but failed to take advan- tage of them. The West Newton five won the game at the foul line. Glassport, 24--West Newton, 25. Glassport won their sixth non-league game at Rankin. The Whirlmen led the whole game but had ta stave ol? a last quarter rally. Jefferson and Rozanski capped the scoring honors. Glassport, 36-Rankin, 33. The Whirlmen started ol? the league games with a victory over the Hilltoppers. Glassport's fine defensive play was outstanding. Matt Rozanski was high scorer with 8 points. Glassport, 32-East McKeesport, 25. The Gladiators traveled to East Pittsburgh and defeated the Shamrocks without much trouble after a slow first period. The Glassport scoring was evenly distributed among six players. Glass- port, 46-East Pittsburgh, 2T. Glassport came to life in the second half after being behind 23 to 8 at half time and scored 27 points. It was a harder fought game than the score indicated. Kastan racked up T2 points. Glass- port, 35-Irwin, 44. The Warriors came to the Glassport gym well primed to upset the Glads. Although they fought hard to win they were no match for the home team. Jefferson and Weber were hot, scoring T9 and T4 points respectively. Glassport, 5T-Elizabeth, 30. After Glassport held the lead for three quarters, the fast mov- ing Central team outscored the Whirlmen in the final quarter. Jim Jefferson led the Glassport offense with B points, all in the first quarter. Glassport, 43-Central Catholic, 49. Who shot it? Hold it, Smokey-Rfp's coming. Playing at home the Gladiators were given plenty of trouble by a strong Pitcairn team. The Glassport defense held their opponents in check all the way and went on to win a hard-earned victory. Glassport, 36--Pitcairn, 27, Continuing their winning ways, the Glads downed a scrappy Wilmerding five on the losers court, Rozanski and Jefferson again paced the attack. Glassport, 4T-Wilmerding, 37. The Whirlmen went to North Catholic and lost a hard-fought non-league encounter.

The red hot Glassport oHense was working on all cylinders after being led 5 ta 3 at the end of the first period. Glassport, 48-Elizabeth, 30. Tight defenses and poor shooting on the part of both teams gave way to a dull battle. One of the deciding factors of the game was Central's control of the boards. The Glads outscored Central in the last period but couldn't get the necessary points to win. Glassport, 20-Central Catholic, 22. Pitcairn upset the favored Gladiators in a hot duel on the Railroader's floor. Glassport's inability ta penetrate the Pitcairn zone ond the Railroaders foul shooting spelled the defeat for the Glads.
