Bottom Left CLERICAL CHORES keep Miss Anna Belle Walter near her desk and the mimeograph in the Superintendenfs office. Bottom Right LATE PERMIT REQUESTS get a skeptical reception from Mrs. Dorothy Stahl. the lady with the answers in Mr. Funk's office. Educational Progress Comes As Leaders Plan For Future ADMI We remember the administration particu- larly this year after seeing packing cases clutter- ing the halls as the superintendent and the Board of Education transferred offices, from the high school to Sixth Ward. Seven citizens serve their community as members of the Latrobe Board of Education, establishing and developing the constructive policies that have been a distinguishing feature of Latrobe's educational program for so many years. Mr. George Brown heads this year's organization, with Mr. William McCullough as Vice-president. Other board members are Mr. S. G. Rummell, Mr. H. M. Reed, Mr. Francis Harvey, Dr. G. N. Huber, and Dr. I. H. Hamill. Dr. Iohn G. Hulton, superintendent of Latrobe Public Schools, moved from his high school office on Ligonier Street to the new ad- ministration offices on Loyalhanna Avenue dur- ing the Winter. The new suite consists of two office rooms and a supply room. The business office occupies one room, while the other serves as the office for Dr. Hulton, meeting place for the Board of Education and conference room for meetings among principals and teachers. The transformation of the classrooms into offices has been complete. Mastic tile floor, sound proof ceilings, fluorescent lighting and modern office equipment carry out the new theme. The stock room has everything from a hot plate and sink to drawers for blue-prints. Dr. Hulton is the chief adminisiraiion offi- cer. He earned a Bachelor's of Arts degree at Franklin College and his Masters at the Uni- versity of Pittsburgh. Mr. Hulton was awarded a Doctor of Literature degree from St. Vincent. C89 BOARD OF EDUCATION members this year initiated plans tor a new football stadium in addition to continuing the progressive policies that have characterized Latrobe's modern educational program. Seat- ed are Mr. Samuel G. Rummell, Dr. Gerard Huber, Mr. George F. Brown, and Dr. I. H. Hamill. Standing are Mr. Harry M. Reed, Mr. Francis I. Harvey and Mr. William McCullough. STRATIO ln his first year at Latrobe, he taught Latin, algebra and civics. He taught social science before becoming principal in 1922. In 1929, he became superintendent. He enjoys reading biographies and history and playing golf. He is a member of the executive council of the Pennsylvania State Education Association and president of the Department of Administration. Dr. Hulton has served as president of Kiwanis and as commander of the American Legion. Mr. Mark N. Funk, principal, organizes the high school work. Mr. Funk received his bachelors degree at Otterbein College, his masters degree at the University of Chicago and did graduate work at University of Pitts- burgh and Pennsylvania State College. He taught social studies, until 1929, when he be- came principal. Mr. Funk has been president of the Western Pennsylvania lnterscholastic Association for the last eight years. Three secretaries lighten the work of the administrators. Miss Ruth Himler is secretary to the Board of Education and to Dr. Hulton. She is the past president ot the Business and Pro- tessional Women's Club and Chairman of this district consisting of 33 clubs in five counties. Church activities occupy her spare time. She enjoys cooking, knitting and reading. Mrs. Dorothy Stahl aids Mr. Funk. Mrs. Stahl's mezzo-soprano voice keeps her in constant demand in church choir and musical circles. Miss Anna Belle Walter does clerical work in Mr. Hulton's oftice. She dabbles in art, enjoys square dancing and belongs to the Frohsinn Singing Society. f9l HEAD MAN in Latrobe High School's curricular and extra curricular program is Principal M. N. Funk. His finger on the pulse oi the school keeps every department running efficiently, providing the best in educational practice and procedure. f Q ,NV ki H nm, ey ffl? -,i . -,fp V ' Q55 t.k, , ,:j5QQ,: 7Z5-fggfi, 11, 5 L 3 H , , . .K f. . ,7 5,-N i A Usfiggi 1, f ,,M 5 2 , . g 'iify hh W Wm - ,- ' KL'. . mmf. 5 if 11 I Mig-1 A M, -SX H Q Y N + 2 5 5 K 3 i i! ig? r ns... .... f,Q-'filgffi We X, 3 ! :S .4 , if bi :Ki - 7 . , s , . wb. 1 , 1' 5- it A f V a if i x.: , NN ,wh - ' av QQ 'S wp- if 5 Q Y? : W SCIENTIFIC INVESTIGATION teaches biologists to form their own opinions.

Pictured are five sophomore homemakers, Ianet Flack, Clarabelle Allshouse, Anita Felbaum, Sue Iohnson and Edna Prasnitz, taking their turn working with the children. For about an hour and a half each week-day after- noon during the three weeks the project oper- ates, the girls read and play games with the chil- dren as well as try their hands at introducing their young charges to the pleasures of coloring and singing. Some six children from homes in 4229 the nearby area served as textbooks for the girls, and in doing so enjoyed themselves. They soon learned to look for the girl assigned to take them to school right after lunch and to object on occasion when it was time to be taken home for that afternoon nap. One of the most worth- while contributions any high school girl can make to better family and community living lies in assuming care of children either in her own homes or in homes of friends and neigh- bors. Learning to live by doing is democracy in action. , is ,I if 'A I I t-, x 'ij , V 5 ggi gs I ' if 7 f W' .L1 ,QXM uf F I u I I I wifi I . i I ff I-If Q I 1 I E v 1' If fer x xkf wx, , , ,,, , V , ,g,E.f WR, ,Swag YQ - y I I I 1 'gif sk I I 'I I 1 I I I I 'I :II I I I .

Martha Ridilla decorates the top of her jewel box with chip carving. Eleanor Gratcar hammers out a design on a belt that she is developing as a leather craft project. OSCAR'S INNARDS give health class boys an opportunity to check pressure points. Gerald Harman shows where to stop the flow of blood, and Iames Barlock tests his skill on Ronald Cameron. Herbert Murphy waits for an oppor- tunity to try. The boys hope they can replace Oscar's back before the class period ends. SUPPLEMENTARY MATERIAL sets the stage for advanced reading in civics class. Seaching for material on local government, Barbara Walters, lane Kessler, Paul Verchuck, and Iames Ransel desert their desks for the book shelves at the front of the room. Added references increase daily interest in developing individual projects. HISTORY PROIECTS amuse sophomore world history students as they examine sample pyra- mids, log houses and chronological charts in- cluded among the host of features on display. Leonard Reeves and Andy Keefe show Lavina Hostetler and Emma Yafchak how easily the top comes off a pyramid to reveal the interior layout. C243 -4 as SENIOR HOMEMAKERS prepare for the Christmas season by helping Santa make toys. The girls stuffing the ani- mals include Eleanor Gratcar, Elizabeth Nicely, Ioan Struinsky, Elizabeth Bialon. and Elizabeth Crouse. Learning to create useful and attractive articles is a phase of work in the related arts department. Helping Others Makes Despite the personal complaints and grum- bling, the classroom had its own qualities that endeared it to the inrnatesfthe chattering horde of students who brought the human element. In classes every student muttered Mr. Chairman, and tramped nervously to the front of the room or smiled to himself at French and Spanish dialogue. Those were the days when- Homemaking girls in cooking class carted a chunk of fudge rolled up in a napkin to their friendsfthe sewing class drew the attention of the boys sitting near the window in the mech- anical drawing roomgfreshman shop boys raced up to fourth ward school in cold weather to slave over their projects-upperclassmen finished shiny cedar chests and neat end tables. Biologists discovered that they were homo sapiens as well as human beings-greenies found out how to take a bunsen burner apart but not how to put it together again-mathemat- icians calculated the answers to five problems in three minutes-plane geometry students used Hobbies Worth While a whole sheet oi tablet paper to do one home- work problem-chemists experimented with solvents that smelled like skunk cabbage. Fellow world history students couldn't determine whether their project models were people of distinction or those of another world -seniors discovered that P. of D. is found in every little phase of school and private life- Latineers translated paragraphs to mean some- thing altogether different from what the writer intended-seniors in physics class stood on the tables to tighten C clamps. Gay young sophomores paid visits to many places by means of English classics-typists chewed their nails to keep them short so they would not click on the keys-junior health students took Oscar apart to see how he ticked and forgot to put his heart backwjournalists interviewed teachers and school mates in order to get information for a story. From the greenie to the stately senior some of these incidents served to highlight the school. .egg it ll' if 'Q n -NN -s gf sep!!

Iohn Zamer As the class of the half century walks through the portals of Latrobe High School for the last time, the words, Thy sons and thy daughters from far and from near will sing loud thy praises thy name will revere, echo down the hall and they recall all the memories of the best years of their lives. Not only in the words of the anthem but in the pleasant memories of four years of activity, the class of '50 finds a satisra:.ion that will prevail in their lives forever. Tneir first experi- ences as greenies when Wilber Kirk served as class president, Nancy Erny as vice-presi- dent, Beverly Crowe, secretary, Edward Seremet, treasurer, and Iohn Walker, Student Council represen ative, were the most frighten- ing. Geraldine Hurley overcame the under- dog feeling when sne played in the all-class play Brother Goose. bob Burns won the extemporaneous speaking contest for the fresh- men in 1947 to preside as class speaker. Then under the supervision of Miss Flor- ence Gill, class adviser, today's graduates doffed their robes of green and were sophomores. Barbara Iohnstin, class president, Howard Lenz, vice president, Helen Laird, secretary, Alfred Wittenmaier, treasurer and Paul Cline, Student Council representative, pledged while at work or at play to serve their class faithfully. Then the class of '50 pledged to be loyal and true to the upper class ranks. Now they were jolly juniors. Donald Bossart led the class with Dennis Yamber, vice president, Pauline Derek, secretary, Bruce Ienkins, treasurer, and Wayne Iohnston, Student Council representa- tive. Robert Morris, Elmer McDonald, Gerald Sshmucker, George Halula, Albert Nigro and lack Denny received football letters. The class presented Dear Ruth starring Sara Black, Geraldine Hurley, Robert Ritts, Emma Sue Rexrode, Anna McKelvey, Patricia Shaw, Robert Fen'on, Bruce Ienkins and Michael Smetanka. Under lack Emery they drafted plans for the class flag, with the motto Sound Minds, Able Citizens. The class of '50 chose the daffodil as their flower and green and gold, their colors. Then came the Iuniors biggest thrill, the junior-senior prom. Choosing Trop- ical Splendor as their theme the class fashioned a life-long memory with Barry Blue furnishing the musical background. Then as the words we'1l sing loud thy praises thy honor proclaim, they marched into the stately senior class. William Buchanan stepped into the limelight as class president with Anna Margaret Gross as vice-president, Ioan Skoloda, secretary, Iohn Zamer, treasurer, and Michael Cirucci, Student Council represen- tative serving under him. Oraiions and worry since the beginning of this year produced Wilber Kirk as the top class orator. The Birds' Christmas Carol starring Anna Margaret Gross gave the school the true yuletide spirit. The '50 basketeers copped third place honors in the section, with William Buch- anan, Donald Bossart, Howard Lenz, lack Emery and Edward Walters receiving basketball letters. Then the key was passed into the hands of the class of '51 and the words thy sons and thy daughters- swelled from the throats of the class of the half-century as they marched forth into the wide-wide world. SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS walk out of the portals of Latrobe High School ready to take their places as citizens of tomorrow.

Emma Sue Rexrode Robert Klapchar Dianne Parker l ALBUM CF PERSONALITIES Spotlight Ot lndlvudu Patty-Cake, Patty-Cake . . . and similar homemaking activity sounds are easily associated with talented Ioanne Planinsek, for Ioanne loves to spend her time in the home economics cottage experimenting with new foods. Her work has never failed to win good grades either. Above everything, dress designing rates first with Ioanne. lt's my future, she says. Burning the Midnight Oil . . . has won many a scholar his reputation. Richard Guskiewicz, however, has not limited himself to strictly scholastic activities. He has served as sports editor of the High Post, treas- urer of the National Honor Society and as a member of Quill and Scroll. In addition to winning the Ruth Robb Debate as a junior and the Kiwanis extemp title this year, he has been associated with Boys' Chorus and many home room activities. Service on the Student Service filled out his well rounded four year program. Speaker's Spotlight Shines . . . on Geraldine Hurley. Who devoted her free time to speech activities. lay made her debut as a sophomore in the Ruth Robb debate. Since then she has been heard from as student direc- tor of an all class play, as a reporter on the Broadcasting Class's bi-weekly newscasts and as a speaker on the Iunior Town Meeting pro- gram. Music Hath Charms . . . which first snared Henry Romersa as a freshman. That year he gave himself up to the band, orchestra, and boys' chorus. During the following years, Hank never missed a note of active participation in his three great loves. He finally Wound up as a Latrobe repre- sentative to the district chorus and district orchestra. His plans will tie him to music for lifefas a music teacher. Take A Letter . . . is the request which produces a quick and efficient response from Beverley Crowe. Effici- ency has become routine to her, for Beverley has served as freshman class and home room secre- tary. Although many extra duties as Student Council representative and librarian demand her time, Teddie always managed to gain high l l t chievement Shines On Senior Standouts honors. She was vice-president of the National Honor Society. Footlights and Grease Paint . . . hold special charm for Emma Sue Rexrode who has appeared in plays since her freshman year. She has been a member of the casts of ' The Late Christopher Bean, Dear Ruth, Love Your Neighbor, and Mistakes at the Blakesf' Her talent also has found expression in the fields of art and literature where she won prizes both in scholastic writing contests and scholastic art contests. However, the actress of the year is going to be an art teacher. Molds and Lathes . . . have molded and shaped Robert Klapchar's high school career which revolved around the workshop's drills and saws. Known for his accomplished workmanship, Bob also took time to prove his capabilities as a high honor student and as an efficient basketball manager for the Wildcat varsity. Thus he too acquired the polish of a finished product. Newspaper Know How . . . earned Dianne Parker the distinctiton of being the top journalist in the class of 1950. Dy spent her senior year turning out top notch bi-weekly editions of the High Post. Her service on the Student Council and her venture into radio as a participant on the Iunior Town Meeting program also deserve special mention. Block That Kick . . . has a familiar ring to Gerald Schmucker whose second home has been the gridiron. Gerry, who won a letter his junior year, led the '49 football squad to five victories. Gerry also displayed considerable ability as a track man his sophomore year and as a home room basket- ball competitor for four years. His versatility earns him the title class athlete. Follow the Leader . . . best describes the pace Donald Bossart set for the class of 1950. Science Club members elected him vice-president and the I. C. L. select- ed him for vice-consul his freshman year. He led the grand march last spring as junior class president. Don climaxed his four year career as he wielded the gavel for the National Honor Society his senior year. .

Class elections, first concern of the year, set up the organization: The banging of Presi- dent Benjamin Lowenstein's gavel: Vice-Presi- dent Donald Domenic serving as committee head: Anita Buerger's minutes: treasury reports by Mary Ann Funk: and ideas taken to Council by Ronald McKenzie. This is a picture taken at every meeting. A flower, motto and flag provided things to be remembered in the future: hard work of Priscilla Beatty's committees: the selection of the motto Truth Above All : choosing a white rose as the flower: setting plans for the flag of maroon on white: hours of deliberation by Eleanor Volek, Helen lane Moersch, John Paior and Regis Kessler.

BIOLOGISTS go way back to the beginning of time for soap-carving subjects and poster displays. Francis Hurite checking corridors and rooms whenever a fire alarm sounded. Their main concern was protection in a time of need. Athletics: heroes of the gridiron and hard- wood courts: cheering crowds as boys played their hearts out for the team: proud display of football letters at the season's end by Donald Domenic, Francis Glamp, Charles Carpowich, Iohn Rudy, Ioe Pry ancl Iohn Paior: Fred Weg- ley, Ioe Iioio, Iohn Gangemi and Ioe Scarfi also piled up a required twenty quarters.

Life would not have been complete for any first year student without a lasting memory of some everyday incident.

DRAMATICS Footlights And Grease Paint Leave Memories Of First Night J f Crowded back stage wings, grease paint and wigs, the glare of footlights, final notes of the orchestra before the first act curtain-all these and more are treasured memories for the dramatists of the year. Along with turkey and stuffings came the greenies and their major production, excerpts from The Courtship of Miles Standish. The freshmen members who played the leading roles were Frances Peduzzi, Rose Mary Franko and Iames McCormick. Ina Moran, Ioseph Visconti and Ronald Cameron supported them. Fifteen students presented the pantomine for the scenes. They were Jerome Marco, Loretta Kusinsky, Collette Derek, Shirley Marks, Donna Lloyd, Robert Steele, Donald Accorsi, and Franklin Piper. Iames Beatty, Robert Kintz, Iohn Wright, Barbara Fischer, Ioyce Stewart, Dorothy Dietz, Iohn Kintz and Gretchen Bad- stibner completed the list.

PUBLICATIONS Printers Ink And Blue Pen Working behind the publications scenes the journalism staff of Latrobe High School found their deeds and misdeeds snapped into pictures for the photo album of memories. The editors: period nine for Dianne Parker, editor-in-chief, when deadlines weren't met: sleepless nights for Lenore Kahanowitz, feature editor, trying to think of a new idea for page two: extra work on the part of Richard Guskie- wicz, sports editor, because of a one man staff: Edward Zabkar, advertising manager, keeping up to date on the spelling of lightning: financial problems kept Dennis Yamber, business man- ager, busy keeping the department self-support ing: incoming and outgoing mail was the prob- lem of Anna Margaret Gross, exchange editor.

FORENSICS. . Speakers Flourish In Community Sponsored Contests Backstage jittersfthe traditional clattering knees and sweating palms-were hardly evident as Latrobe High Schoo1's 1950 crop of speakers stepped to the microphone and enjoyed them- selves. The 25th annual Rotary Oratorical Contest opened the forensic season. Urging as Our Freedom the encouragement of individual enterprise, Wilber Kirk captured first prize. Second place Went to Geraldine Hurley for her Man of the Half-Century, an eulogy to Win- ston Churchill. Ann Workman took third with Blessed Are The Peacemakersf' and Robert Fe-nton's The Great Provider earned honor- able mention. Other finalists were Donald Bos- sart, Helen Keffer, Carol Moberg and Emma Sue Bexrode. Eight speakers discussing Socia1ized Medicine participated in the 20th annual Ki- wanis Extemporaneous Speaking Contest. Rich- ard Guskiewicz gained the school title after being selected as senior winner over Harry Dundore.

Stellar Musical Groups Come In On Down Beat We remember hearing violin squeaks and flute shrills as the orchestra tuned up or mi-mi- mi-mi's drowning out boo-boo-boo-boo's as the choruses got ready for action. We watched the 91-piece band march in straight ranks and files. The band joined in celebrating seven football triumph's this year by parading down Ligonier Street playing La- trobe High Victorious with three-fourths of the spectators following. During the half the band presented such skits as Old McDonald's Farm and the history of dancing. They also displayed marching compared to that seen at West Point. Two drum majors and seven drum major- ettes preceeded the musicians. When Don Lazarchik tooted his Whistle, the band followed his commands. Bon Carnahan twirled the baton. As head majorette, Ann Flowers was responsible for keeping Barbara Dutrow, Pat Robinsky, Irene Lupchinsky, Ioan Leccia and Gwen and Sandy Syster in neat ranks. The band also played indoors. The medley from Showboat and Rhapsody in Blue were among their offerings at the spring concerts. Ben Lowenstein with his baritone, Mary Lynch with her flute and Mary Morrell with her French horn, journeyed to West View, for Western District Band. Mary Morrell was selected from this group for All State Band. First Row: W. Lynch, Mazon, Newingham, Dutrow, Lazarchik, Flowers, Wittenmaier, Zenone, Peterson, Dibble. Second How: Kelter, B.

We remember 75 freshmen girls learning the fundamentals of choral singing in Chorus I and hoping that they could advance to Chorus II. Donna Lloyd accompanied them for their assembly. For the concerts Chorus I sang Little -David, Play on Your Harp and Dear Land of Home. Boys Chorus and Chorus Il blended soprano and bass voices in a mixed chorus for the concert. Helen Kefler and Iim Smith were at the twin pianos as the group sang The Battle Hymn oi the Republic and Onward Christian Soldiers. Five upperclassmen sang in Western Dis- trict Chorus at Canonsburg. Barbara Iohnstin and Netta Cadzow sang alto, while Barbara Dutrow sang soprano. Howard Dira and Henry Romersa sang tenor and bass respectively. We remember this year's innovation-an octette singing hymns for assembly. Barbara Iohnston and Netta Cadzow sang alto, and Pat Hall and Janet Taylor, soprano. Basses were Henry Romersa and Leonard Kostley, while William Adams and Charles Bell were tenors. Martin Hellenic accompanied them on the organ. We remember the German Band, too. Henry Romersa was the leader and trombonist. Bob Newmeyer and Charles Lemmon played the clarinets. Ierry Nagel played the bass horn and Don Bossart the trumpet. Iim Dibble was at the drums. We remember music filling the air all through the year. . And Even Boys Join In The Harmony BOYS' CHORUS First Row: Stanko, New- meyer, Hauser, Newing- ham, Wittenmaier, Sa- bota.

McGuire and Ioan Cline discuss assembly reading assignments with President Bruce Ienkins. Student Council, Latrobe High School's service organization, is caught in the many ac- tivities it brings the school as candid flashes record the projects for the year. The camera first recorded the initiative and seriousness of the group, under the supervision of Mr. I. R. Beatty, faculty adviser: the silence that reigns when President Bruce Ienkins calls for attention: Marilyn McGuire's readiness to serve if the president is called away: up to date minutes and balanced financial reports heard from Pauline Derek and Ioan Cline: voices of other members raised to give their suggestions and opinions. These are the Work of the day. The yearly projects of the Council are num- erous: purchase of a movie projector as a gift to the school: Autumn Stag and Country Store , two dances of the year: Hot dogs, pop corn, ice-cream! Buy it here, as members run concession stands at basketball and football STUDENT COUNCIL First Row: Gibson, Robb, Cline, P. Derek, Ienkins, M. Mc- Guire, Dorn, Iohnstin. Second Row: Hauser, Pearson, Lawson, Kessler, Seitanakis, Hall, McLaughlin. Third Row: Sistek, Saxman, Mitchell, Bender, Poole. Short. Bryan. STUDENT CCDUNCIL Assembly Audience Appreciates New Movie Projector games: regular and special assemblies on Wed- nesdays and Fridays in the auditorium. All are necessary parts of every one's school day and all are sponsored by the Student Council. Not just planning entertainment, but hard work crowds into the program of every Council member: scrubbing down corridor pictures: keeping the Council room spick and span: ushering for special programs: ticket and nov- elty sales: nervous wait before Bible readings: March of Times movies once a month: annual spelling bee. Not tremendous tasks when everyone bands together, these things weld Council into a working group. It's here, recorded in pictures, the proof of the organization. Listing service to the stu- dent body as the main objective: striving for improvement in the form of actual gains: the Student Council is the voice of the students acting in accordance with their wants.

Flash news4direct from station BCC, broad- casting class of Latrobe High School, rang out over the airways every Monday and Thursday for high school students. Three BCC regulars returned to supervise behind the scenes. Geraldine Hurley and Irene Kittey were standbyes from last year's staff. Anthony Zenone, the only junior representative faced the microphone for his second year. Sixteen broadcasters reported the news to eager students. Of this group, sophomores composed the majority. Harry Albert, Cam Eiseman and Iohn Ondriezek faithfully reported the outcome of all athletic meets in their sports casts. Other sophomores broadcast al1 the news around L .H. S. These girls included Lois Fowler, Roxanne Freeman, Margaret Smith, Rosemarie Cirucci and Christine Slater. Gilda Larry, Bheta Felbaum, Gloria Himic, Barbara Hinger and Marie Derek also served as report- ers for the broadcasting station. Station BCC did not confine its activity to school news. They put on their annual Christ- mas play. The 1949 edition was Mugby Junction by Dickens. Displaying promising talent, they also aired the drama over station VVHIB, Greensburg. The group also gave the Halloween assem- bly. Their play was entitled, The Ghost of Benjamin Sweet, a mystery suspense. In the spring, the group toured KDKA, Pittsburgh and glimpsed the mechanism needed to operate a nationwide broadcasting system. INITIATION PLANS outlined by Mr. Beatty interest National Honor Society officers. Seated are Barbara Iohnstin, Don- ald Bossart and Beverley Crowe, while Richard Guskiewicz, Lenore Kahanowitz and Bruce Ienkins look on. As students of Latrobe High School pass meeting, selecting Donald Bossart as president Scholarship And Service on year to year one of their ambitions is to be- come a member of the National Honor Society. To be a member of this group is one of high school's top distinctions. An Honor Society member must rank in the upper quarter of his class scholastically, be willing and ready to be of service to his school, have demonstrated qual- ities of good leaderships, and be able to con- form to certain character obligations. Fifteen percent of the senior class and five per cent of the junior class may be elected. The entire faculty votes for eligible students. Eight seniors carried out the society's aims this year. Under the supervision of Mr. Iames R. Beatty, they elected officers at their first Seated: Lenore Kahanowitz, Bar- NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY Travel Hand In Hand and Beverley Crowe as vice-president. Serving the society as secretary was Barbara Iohnstin, while Bruce Jenkins represented them on Stu- dent Council. Richard Guskiewicz took care of the financial duties, and Lenore Kahanowitz fill- ed the position of High Post Reporter. Other members included Geraldine Hurley, and Emma Sue Rexrode. The late Sara Black was also elected to membership last spring. The Latrobe High School Chapter of the National Honor Society received its charter in 1925. From that time until l949, 747 Latrobe students have had their names placed on the society's membership roll achieving a place of scholastic distinction. NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY bara Iohnstin.

Student Council's three dances provided opportunities for dance lovers to keep abreast of the latest in dancing steps. Girls got their first chance to show off new outfits at the Autumn Stag. The annual Sadie Hawkins dance was a favorite of all. At this dance girls had a good time catching their favorite man and dragging him to the Country Store. Here plaid shirts and blue jeans made the gym a bright place. Spring outfits were pulled from mothballs for the last school dance of the year, Swing With Spring. Boys rejoiced over permission to use motor vehicles in the Homecoming Day float. For the first time since the beginning of the war, they were relieved from pulling the floats in the parade. The brains of 103 thought of the idea, Wild Waves Support Good Sportsman- ship, and captured the award in the 29th annual Homecoming Day float. Betty Grable and Van Iohnson were set on their heels with the three class plays. The gb, X ,- 4 MV :- AS ll-D A5 U00 whole school combined acting talent to produce the All Class Play, The Late Christopher Bean. Next the Iuniors held up the class tradition with The Parlor Story. All mystery loving seniors tried their skill in A Murder Has Been Ar- ranged. After the purchase of the movie projector, Latrobe High School's auditorium might have been mistaken for the Manos or the Grand. The first school production, Treasure Island, made everybody forget they were in school. The only difference from the real theater was the popcorn and the boy friend. Future doctors and Nightingales made a good start by joining the newly formed Ars Medica Club. Girls from the club spend pleas- ant Saturday mornings reading to children in Latrobe Hospital. Some club members received their first taste of hospital air by visiting Latrobe Hospital and other institutions. Girls decided on the best nursing school to attend by collect- ing data on various schools. One senior girl put her paint brush to good use. Anna Mary Barnhart's painting, Out Big Barn, won a prize at Harrold Fair last fall. C837 01.1.'?'F MA ' .tif Wx, h ' ' an 4, X A ws .tir . .I I J... -9,-' ,gf x ' , 4' 3 'I we i .

Kneeling in front are assist- ant coaches, M. A. Barron, M. E. Rizzo and C. S. Westfall. Racking up their best season since 1945, the Wildcat gridders posted a record of six wins-four over AA opponents-and four loss- es, at the hands of AA competitors. The Orangemen wasted no time in launch- ing a successful season as they humbled the Derry Twp. Eagles 14-O. Iohn Rudy, back, opened seasonal scoring by cracking over from four yards out in the initial canto. Latrobe con- tinued its scoring pace When Cam Domenic bolted into the promised land from the two. Glamp converted after both counters. In the next encounter, the Penn High Indians thoroughly scalped the Wildmen 18-0. The loss bounced the Cats out of the WPIAL race. A favored Hurst eleven invaded the Wildcat den on September 24, and were smash- ed by the home team, 27-14. Latrobe's third victory came as a result of a 28-14 triumph over the Donora Dragons. The win gave the Wild- men their first victory over an AA opponent. October 7 will be a date long remembered by Latrobe fans. On this occasion, the Wild- cats battled the Ieannette Iayhawks down to the last second before bowing 7-6. Early in the initial period, Ioe Pry slammed over from four yards out. G1amp's all important extra point soared wide of the mark. Ieannette over- came the lead in the second canto, when Dick Gounder, Iayhawk end, swept into block Iohn Rudy's punt and recovered the ball in the end zone for the score.

In the waning moments of the ball game, the Cats recovered a fumble deep in Ieannette territory, but the clock ran out before the Orangemen could capitalize on the break. The Orange and Black tripped the Altoona Mountain Lions, October 15, by a 20-7 margin. The win was the first scored over the Scarlet since 1939. After battling a supposedly weak Sharon outfit for three quarters, the Wildcats finally pushed over a score midway in the final canto to tally a 7-0 win. Glamp broke into the clear and raced 43 yards for the tally. Greensburg proved to be another stumbling block as the Wildcats bowed to the Brown and White 13--7. Latrobe drew first blood with Pry carrying over from six yards out in the first half. Glamp converted. In the same canto, a Wild- cat aerial was pulled in by Ammerman, Lion end, and returned to the Cat three yard line where Medved, Golden Lion back, scored. The bonus point by Basick was good and the score was deadlock at the intermission.

BASKETBALL Coach Wild Resigns As Cage Mentor After 20 Year Reign What started out to be a dismal season fin- ished on a flourishing note for the Orange cagers as they won 13 tussels and dropped ten battles to finish third in the Section XI race and chase Monessen down to the wire for the county Class A basketball title. Irwin spoiled the Cats' debut as they dealt the Orangemen a 45-31 reverse in the season's opener. Somerset tell to the Latrobers 31-14, but Irwin stepped in and sank the Orange battle- ship for the second straight time 29-28. After a 35-24 loss to Uniontown, Coach Wi1d's boys took Somerset on the rebound to hammer out a 40-18 win. Pre-league action continued as Brentwood evened up a two year series by winning over Latrobe 48-34. The Wildmen completed pre- season action by losing to Uniontown's Maroon Raiders 44-32 on the Latrobe court. Sectional competition opened for the Cats on Ianuary 10 as Ieannette stymied the Wild court machine by a 48-25 margin. Greensburg dealt out league loss number two by Whipping the Orange charges 47-32, but a 57-32 victory over Derry Twp. started the Latrobe five on a five game victory skein. Scottdale fell by a 61-47 score: North Huntingdon dropped, 44-317 Hurst, 44-31, and Alumni 37-28 to climax the Winning streak. Second half competition started off in the same fashion as the initial round as Ieannette and Greensburg both dumped the Orange Cats. Another victory span began as the Latrobe quintet downed Derry Township's Eagles 57-35. Coach Wild's cagers continued their winning pace as they downed Scottdale 50-41 and North Huntingdon 47-36. League action closed on February 21, as the Orangemen whipped Hurst 51-37. The Wildmen gave Coach Wild a good farewell present as they battled Monessen right down to the wire in the finals of the County Tourney before losing 48-38. They reached the finals by whipping Scottdale 44-30 and a highly touted Greensburg team 46-32. Mr. Wild closed a 20 year regime as basketball mentor at La- trobe at the completion of the 1949-50 season by withdrawing from the coaching assignment. With him went an excellent won and lost record which stands high in any list. Seven varsity cagers and one manager gained letters. Players included: Iohn Emery, Howard Lenz, William Buchanan, Donald Bos- sart, Edward Walters, William Adams and Thomas Buchleitner. Manager Bob Klapchar rounded out the group.

Pennsylvania, last spring. They whipped Williamsport and Reading to gain the crown. The winners represented Latrobe and the WPIAL in the tournament. This represents La- trobe's second such title. Iack Roof and George Greubel won the crown in 1945. Inaugurating his first year as head track mentor, Mr. Richard Braun began the cinder campaign with lettermen Dick Hauser, Francis Glamp, Iack Emery, Bill Buchanan, Fred Lenz, Fred Wegley, Bill Adams, Don Noonan, Ed Gearing and Roger Caldwell. These boys car- ried the brunt of the Wildcat attack. Track ac- tivity began in April with the inter-class meet. Competition galore was found in the annual ping pong tournament. Coming out on top of the heap were Fred Zenone, freshman winner, Hugh Shields, sophomore titlist, Ioe Pry, junior champ, and Bob Reeping, senior crown-man. In the final matches Hugh Shields downed Don Bossart to garner school champion honors. Ping pong also caught the eye of the girls as they also battled one another in a white-ball tour- ney. After the smoke cleared, Barbara Pohland reigned as champ in the girls' ping pong circle. Turning in a repeat performance with that of last year, the seniors won the school basket- ball championship. Heading the pack of under- class performers was Boom 214 who downed the freshman Room 201 to win underclass laurels. In the upperclass group, it was 104 who turned the tide on junior home room 119 in the battle for the upperclass crown. The seniors clicked consistently as they won the school crown by whipping the sophomores 24-16. Sporting two one man teams, Room 120, underclass champs, and 103, upperclass victors clashed in the championship tilt. Room 103 slammed the greenies 20-6 to win the tourney pennant. All scoring was done by two girls. Sarb Iohnstin canned 20 markers while Ann 1961 CHEERLEADERS First Row: Hackman. Kessler, Shaw. Second Row: Walker, Cirucci, Albert. Edwards of the losers scored her team's six points. With only two lettermen returning to bolster their attack, the golf team, under the tutorship of head coach Robert E. Cook tackled a tough WPIAL schedule. Spearheading the squad was Eddie Zabkar, Francis Cmar and Emory Lesho. Mr. Rise's tennis team underwent a rebuild- ing process as only one senior, Don Bossart, returned to the roster. Other veterans on the roster included: Dick Atkinson and Iim Roof. Early in the year, Iim Roof and Don Bossart represented Latrobe in a WPIAL tournament but lost to Shadyside. An Orange and Black round-robin girls' basketball tournament and a boys' tennis tour- ney also were included in this season's athletic plan.

Athletic competition helped students use leisure time as a variety of games were carried on in the intra-mural class in Latrobe High School in 1949-1950. The seniors kept up what has now become somewhat a tradition as they won the boys' homeroom basketball championship downing the underclass champs, sophomore room 213, by a 24-16 score. In their quest for the crown the new titleholders won over four teams. They scored wins over 101, 112 and then humbled 119 to win the upper-class title. The fourth win, of course, came over 213. Seven boys comprised the winning aggre- gation. They were Ronald Marshall, Ludwig Kubicki, Leon Kosker, William Lynch, William McCurdy, William Luttner, and Howard Lenz. Senior team 102 won the crown last year. Two girls stole the show in the girls' home room basketball tourney as they scored all of their team's points in the final game. Barbara Iohnstin scored 20 points, and Ann Edwards counted six points as 103 won over 120. The score was 20-6. The girls from 103 were the same bunch that won the title for 116 last year. The majority of the time, all the boys and girls were cheering for the basketball and foot- ball teams, but no one said a thing about a crowd of gentlemen who carried on their work -rain or shine. Yes, the cheerleaders and managers were like Old Man River, they just kept rolling along. The football managers were led by Ronald Frye and Robert Klapchar was the top man on the totem pole for the court managers. Ronald and Robert both served four years as managers in their respective sport. Seniors Mike Cirucci and Iohn Walker led the cheerleaders in their 2-4-8-8's and L-A-Ts at the football and basketball games. Girls also participated in class basketball as Monday first whipped Monday seventh to win the health class title. The score in that tussel read 21-14. Barbara Iohnstin led her team to the title. A girls' round robin basketball tournament was also held this year. A gymnastic class also was active this sea- son. One of the big features of this group was a demonstration put on for the students in the gymnasium. Two seniors, Mike Cirucci and Anthony Cirucci, led the gymnastic team. All of these things put together make up just one thing-intra-mural activities. C997 BASKETBALL MANAGERS are busy on the afternoon before the court squad hits the road for another league game.
