When a student leaves Latrobe High School after a four year course, he has knowledge stored away for use in many fields. For example, the English classes: here a student requires a knowledge of our standard language. The results are not always visible. but their absence is keenly felt. A class such as General Science, teaches the pupil to think for himself. When one finishes such a course, he leaves able to cope with many problems. ln shop classes, the boys, by means of manual labor, produce actual finished products. Here they receive an education that will be profitable to them after finishing school. And so Latrobe High School continues to turn out young men and women with well- rounded educations. f V 'P gf 3 if 'HM ' -in xnn , 45 4 Af Q if J ' 1 '43 . in Q w ff .

Dorothy, Don and Chester. O F President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Student Council C ERS Chester Brighenti Donald Adams Elaine Sartoris Alice Keener Dorothy Palmer At the beginning of the 1952-53 school term, the Iunior Class elecled ofifcers to repre- sent them for the coming year. Chester Brighenti, a member of the football and basketball teams, was chosen president and Don Adams was elected vice-president. Re- cording the minutes of all meetings was Elaine Sartoris, secretary. Money matters were han- dled by the treasurer, Alice Keener. The Class of '54 was represented in the Student Council by Dorothy Palmer. As football season rolled around, the grid- iron showed some new stars such as Bill Mc- Ginnis and Bill Gross. The hardcourt produced Iohn Monchak while Kenny Peffer won fame as a wrestler. Turning from the field of sports, we find Dave McCullough with the male lead in the All- Class Play. Also in the field of dramatics was the lunior Class Play, We Shook the Family Tree. Helping to make it a success were Alice Keener and Larry Kepple. Aiding in turning out B.C.C. 'casts were luniors such as Elaine Keffer, Ron Carey, and Ianet Smith. ln order to make the Prom a suc- cess, the various committees worked untiringly for their last junior event under the watchful eye of Miss Florence Gill, class adviser.

Playing for all school activities, the instru- mental department of Latrobe High School pro- vides a necessary part of everyday school life. Football games, holiday parades, the an- nual Spring Concert and assemblies during the year claim the attendance ot the eighty-five piece band. Many hours of practice were spent on intricate drills and skits for the football games, while after school sessions readied the group for the concert. Leading the band is the drum major and the seven high-stepping major- ettes. The local Veterans of Foreign Wars Post presented the school with the American flag and the school colors early this spring. Playing for the school dramatic presenta- tions, regular assembly periods and the Spring Concert is the thirty-four piece orchestra. New musical organizations consist of a Dixieland Band and a dance band called Band X. Also new this year is a brass sextet, com- posed of two trumpets, two trombones, a French horn and a tuba.

STUDENT SERVICE May I see your hall pass, was the phrase often heard as a student slipped to his locker between classes. With the hard-working Stud- ent Service on the job, the corridors were al- ways kept quiet. Presiding over this organization as presi- dent was Charles Dziak. Vice-President Mike Stewart took charge of meetings when the president was absent. Secretary Colette Derek kept minutes for every meeting. Money of the organization was in the hands of Lucy Ridil- la, treasurer, while George Felbaum reported all activities to the High Post. The main purpose oi this organization was making school life more pleasant for the stud- ents. Posted throughout the halls, they checked to see that the lockers were locked and also to see that the hall lights were turned off. A branch of the Student Service is the Lost and Found.

Reporting on all school activities occupied the talents of the class.

Throughout the year, the class participated in several broadcasts over the local radio sta- tion WAKU. Among these was the presenta- tion of Mugby Iunction, the annual Christmas play. Slcits, Iwritten by any or all members of the staffl poems, or songs made their debut on the semi-weekly broadcast, along with straight news.

COACH WILD accepts automobile at Silver Anniversary celebration before Greensburg game. AN UNEXPECTIED TURN of events brings Wildcat subs to their feet. 86 Coach Wild Ends Grid Caree Courage and sportsmanship were qualities exhibited throughout the 1952 football season by the Latrobe High School eleven. Although the gridmen did not compile an impressive record, the squad displayed foot- ball knowledge in all contests. Unleashing a good ground attack and an efficient aerial game, the Wildcats obtained three triumphs quickly. Schenley High School was the first to bow before the Orangemen, 27-6. In the second home tilt Latrobe trounced rival Derry Township 33-6. For the first AA contest the gridmen traveled to Penn High of Rosedale, where the Wildcats scored a third triumph by a 20-12 count. The Donora Dragons tallied three times in the first half to down the Orange eleven 20-O, for the season's first defeat. Successive losses were handed to the Wildcats by Ieannette, 6-O, and Altoona, 25-13. Then, the locals deadlocked with the Connellsville Cokers, 0-O. A week later, the community saluted Coach Ray Wild for 25 years of grid leadership. But the team succumbed to a powerful Greensburg lion eleven, 14-O. In a well played game, the Wildcats dropped a close encounter to Wilkins- burg, 10-7. The season was concluded when Latrobe hosted the Uniontown Red Raiders, but met defeat by an 18-O score. fter 25 Years' Service The grid action provided thrills for the Wildcat followers, although the season record displayed three victories, six defeats and one deadlock. Late in November, Coach Wild presented letters and certificates during an assembly. Seniors recognized included: Herbert Murphy, Robert Davis, Vincent Moranelli, Ronald Schiri, Henry Gebhardt, Ioseph Beredino, Clarence Clair, Iarnes Beatty, Iohn Kintz, Charles Dziak, James Smart, Michael Moffa, Wesley O'Hara.
