Boys enrolled in industrial courses, which in- cludes wood, machine, drafting and electrical shops, receive training in preparation for a particular field. Students in shop courses are taught to use mach- ines and tools in creating articles. The trade course is a profitable career that provides valuable know- ledge for work after graduation in the numerous factories of Latrobe and the surrounding districts. The wood shop majors construct diversified arti- cles such as desks, tables, gun cabinets, chests, tel- evision cabinets and window frames. Vllorkmanship of this department shows great skill which in later years, in most cases, will mean a life's vocation. Be- ginners in this wood work make book ends, bread boards, book covers, letter boxes, and knick-knack shelves, along with many other items. In the electric shop, boys learn to use electrical apparatus which enables them to wire controls for motors and to repair appliances. They also learn to electric weld and to wire buildings. This year the boys erected the new electrical score board in the Industrua gymnasium. The machine shop offers vocational training with great opportunities. Here the trade students learn to operate lathes, grinders, and to use tools familiar to machinists. The boys also gain knowledge in and get acquainted with precision tools such as microme- ters and various types of gauges. ln all shop classes in the school, the boys, by means of manual labor, produce actual finished arti- cles and thereby receive a good background for fu- ture work. The school benefits from the knowledge acquir- ed from these students. Repairs of desks, electrical appliances and miscellaneous articles that need at- tention are usually taken care of by the trade stu- dents who gain practical experience through the work. Drafting is offered to boys in the vocational course, and the boys who select it prepare for this occupation by working on plans for industrial mach- ines and products. Contests for the shops of the school are sponsor- ed by the Latrobe Lions Club each year and the pro- ducts are also entered in the annual Ford sponsored contests.

Among the many subjects are four differ- ent history courses. The freshmen study Civics, While the sophomores take World History. ln the eleventh grade, the juniors strive to learn in American History class about the past of the country in which they are living, while seniors enjoy discussions in Problems of Democracy classes. With the beginning of the new school term, the junior historians were requested to draw cartoons of famous explorers. Although this was a novelty, they soon were informed of many other unusual assignments. Numerous eleventh graders wrote of Southern Belles or persons coming to America on the Mayflower. The se- niors had as an important project series of educa- tional movies, which required one complete quarter. The writing of essays and reading of books earned extra credit for many. At the same time the freshmen and sopho- mores were also asked to do outside work. Al- though the World History projects consisted mainly of historical book reports, many inter- esting maps. buildings, and varied collections were brought in. The freshmen in the Civics classes made maps and drawings of the differ- ent products and places of importance in Penn- sylvania. Others constructed projects relating to colonial Pennsylvania. Regardless of the year in school, all stu- dents were subject to English in some form. Taking the spotlight in the senior class were orations, while all classes shared in the externps. The Women's Club Contest and several essay contests were also conducted through the Eng- lish classes. The sophomores Wrote their auto- biographies as the main undertaking for the year, while they also enjoyed writing short stories, plays, poems, and essays, as the stu- dents of all classes did. Throughout the year the trophy case was a display case for the many efforts of students. Several times throughout the year the work of the homemaking students could be seen there. Latin, Spanish, and French students also dis- played their work therein. Not only the regu- lar assignments of classes were exhibited, the work of all students of classes, when extra work was done. Although the projects of the shops were generally too large to be displayed in the trophy case, awards won by members of the shops were shown. 24 . 3 ai ' s Q in ........l l ,H'lr 7:7- xxx.

In this workshop the employees are the students. The worker in the classroom, though, does not have the constant grind so well known to other workers. Instead each and every day in the life of the student employee brings new things to be discovered, new regions to be ex- plored. An English classic must be read, a science experiment rnust be performed, and a civics project must be completed before a fresh- man member of the workshop discovers what each particular line of work has to offer. One important thing in any workshop is the tools to aid the workers. Without these noth- ing can be accomplished. The same is true of the classroom. What are the students' tools? The most important instrument of all is known to everyone as the common text book. With this implement and some hard hours of study a student can advance far in his work. He can be promoted higher and higher in the know- ledge workshop of endeavor. Notebooks also advance the workmen greatly in his quest for higher education. Without hammer, saw and nails a carpenter will fail and lack of paint and brush greatly hinders the painter. Separation of the student and his textbook will undoubtedly thus result in much the same consequences. Any Workman knows that one of the most important reasons for doing his work is to earn wages. In the classroom workshop as in any other, the employee that tries the hardest earns the highest wages. What is put into the job comes out as greatly deserved knowledge. Wis- dom is the wage in the workshop of knowledge. When the classroom pays its wages at the end of four years the students that worked are re- cognized by the large paycheck they receive. This paycheck is not in dollars and cents, but in the form of education and wisdom that lasts longer than any material wealth. To lead and guide the workers let us not forget the foremen on the job. In the classroom they are the teachers which guide the students in their search for more and better education. They also demonstrate what tools to use and how to use them. But, like the foremen on the job, the teachers in the classroom can only demonstrate. The rest is up to the workers, the students. It is they who must do the work and when it is finished it is they who feel a glow of satisfaction from a job well done.

Wayne Campbell was chosen as pres- ident and Tom Andrako vice-president. Elaine Shirey recorded the minutes of the meetings, while Phyllis Marcinko collected class dues. Chosen as the Stu- dent Council representative was Ronald Smercani. Mr. Harry O. Wolfe acted as class advisor. During the various seasons, senior boys participated in all the major and minor sports. On the gridiron twelve members of the class did their best, while lim Tito, Mick Mickinak, lack Casey and LeRoy Myers distinguished themsel- ves on the hard court. Tom Quitko kept the senior pace in cross country and Torn Westfall and Tom Shaffer helped compile a good season in wrestling. Laurels for fine dramatic performances were awarded to Marilee Kahano- witz and Iobie Byers when they enacted the leading roles in Life With Father. Class officers trimmed the large tree at the main entrance, making it a memor- able event for the last year. On lVloving-Up- Day the class of 1955 found themselves starting to remem- ber all the wonderful things of which they were a part during their years at L. H.

With the aid oi Miss Florence Gill, Iunior Class advisor, the committees spent long hours after school and on Saturdays preparing for the big night. The ac- ceptance of the Senior Class key by Paul Carrol, also stands out in memories. Completing the activities for the year, twenty junior girls, comprising the Guard of Honor, participated in the senior commencement exercises. 54 eps T TS Foo UI' E 3 o 75 LL Ps CD .C I- -N? of xx J-f x Y '11 K A .I gwu-.ff I , 1 , s I' Ez -,N l l I 1 :5..,.,,, i fx?

O F I C E R S President Samuel Brasili Vice President Frank Milon Secretary Carol Williams Treasurer Charlotte Burns Student Council Thomas Kutchravy Beginning their second year of high school work, the sophomores pre- sented a wide scope of activities. At the start of the school term in September, the sophomores elected their class officers. Filling the office of president was Samuel Brasili, who was assist- ed by Francis Milon, vice president. Recording the minutes as secretary was Carol Williams, and collecting class dues was Treasurer Charlotte Burns. Thomas Kutchravy represented his class at Student Council meetings. Aided by their advisor, Miss Irene Mertz, the sophomores had delegates in several school functions. Acting in the All Class Play, Life VVith Father, Eugene Sarp portrayed the character of Iohn. Sports enthusiasts from the class took active parts on the football team and wrestling squad. Scoring points on the junior varsity basketball squad were Francis Milon and Bill Netzlof, while Peter Leccia and Thomas Gaudino ran their fastest with the track team. The Student Service, Student Council, I. C. L., and Presidents' Club claim- ed many of the sophomores as members and officers.

OFFICERS President Thomas Casey Vice President Iudith Iohnson Secretary Beverly Rorico Treasurer Carol Sue Edmiston Student Council William Silvis As the autumn leaves began to fall, the freshmen entered the halls of La- trobe high with an optimistic outlook toward good times, learning, and fun that the next four years have to offer. After a few weeks, the class chose five students to lead them through the coming year. The officers consisted of Thomas Casey as president, Iudy Iohnson, vice-president: and Beverly Ronco, secretary. Carol Sue Edmiston and Bill Silvis completed the list by filling the offices of treasurer and Student Council representative. Class advisor was Mr. Harry Graham. Tryouts for the All-Class and Christmas Plays were announced and five freshmen upheld the honors of their class by taking part in the productions. Helping to make the plays a success were Cora Lee Cravener, Patricia Peduz- zi, Richard Henry, Ronald Campbell, and George Marinchak. While freshmen football fans cheered, their players scored points for their team. On the hardcourt outstanding work could also be seen as the fresh- man team dribbled down the floor to complete their season with a perfect record. On the wrestling mat, members of the class of 1958 gained valuable experience for future seasons. Freshmen were also prominent in forensics with Elaine Schirf and Barry Betts participating in the extemp finals, while others entered the preliminaries of the Woman's Club Contest. .ff 62 -x M9 Cb mm 1 - Q Q ' W ,,- ' f ig -my 'If wwf ,fx , I i 54 ' ,xx P 511 , ' -3' ' ':gii3W'5..v...,.1...n' if , Ji: NTI, A 'Win f ,Ay ..,, 5 f ,V Wffow,-,M V '-W, 4 v 4 ggi ',' .

Beginning with the rules and styles of writing, the hopeful journalist works toward the goal of be- coming a member of the newspaper or yearbook staff. Before accomplishing this feat, the beginner goes through a training period in lournalism I. Mr. William B. Couchenour is in charge of the first year class as Well as Iournalism Il. One of the first steps on the road to being a journalist is learning to write lead paragraphs and the application of the five W's -who, what, when, where and why-in these leads. After weeks of practice in writing leads, the students endeavor to write complete news stories following the inverted pyramid order. Headlines are next on the list. After learning the count and size of each headline the students prac- tice writing headlines. The girls are then taught how to write features, while the boys learn the art of pre- paring sports stories. After completing these phases of learning, various writers are assigned stories for the Latrobe Bulletin and occasionally for the High Post. The last step in becoming a journalist is the studying of the business and advertising phases. After each is explained and learned, the training period of one year is through. The student then en- ters Iournalisrn Il and is stamped as a full-fledged journalist. After Latrobean, front page, feature, sports, and back page editors are appointed, the life of a journal- ist follows a rotary pattern-story assignments, col- lecting the information, writing the story. While the stories are being written for the High Post, work on the yearbook progresses. Throughout the year pic- tures are taken, stories are written and senior write- ups are assigned. Each journalist who acquires three hundred inch- es and stands in the upper third of his class scholas- tically is eligible for the national organization, the Quill and Scroll. This organization follows the princi- ples of truth, loyalty, friendship, leadership, and ini- tiative. During the course of the year, different issues are sent to critical surveys conducted by universi- ties. These issues, as well as the Latrobean, are judg- ed and awarded prizes. Among the awards the High Post and Latrobean have received are the All-Ameri- can, Medalist, and the Pitt Award.

The orchestra and band, musical organizations of Latrobe High, are extra-curricular activities which extend an opportunity to many musically inclined students. The groups provide an outlet for the execution of ability of playing in groups. Many students who consider music as a hobby later find it as their life Work. Under the baton of Mr. Iames Gibson, instrumen- tal teacher of the grade schools, the high school or- chestra performed for assemblies, plays and con- certs. The group consisted of representatives from all four classes who possess the necessary qualifi- cations. Each year selected students from this organi- zation are sent to County or District Orchestra, spon- sored by the Pennsylvania Music Educarors Associa- tion. This year Southwest Greensburg Iunior High School was host to the 1955 County Festival. Stu- dents vvho attended were Barbara Gebicki, advanced violin: Sylvia Zarzeczny and Nancy Morley, violin 2-B5 Rebecca Stahl, cello: Wayne Carns, string bass and Nancy Caylor, saxophone. Mr. Ronald Shurie, instructor of Music Theory and the choral groups, also directs the Senior Band, composed of members representing the four classes. The main activity of this group is performing at the football games during half time. Another of their major appearances is marching in holiday parades. Like the orchestra, the band members also take part in County and District festivals. ln the spring St. Vincent College was host to the annual County Band with 13 students representing Latrobe High School. Ieannette High School was the site of the District Band activities. Latrobe's delegates includ- ed: Dolores Terinni, Daniel Porembka and Nancy Halsall.

' 4 Music of practicing choruses rang through the halls to remind all that Mr. Shurie and his songsters were on the job. Voices of lO3 freshman girls rose and fell under the direction of Mr. Ronald Shurie as they learned the fundamentals of choral singing in Chorus l. If their vocal ability meets the test set up by Mr. Shurie they may enter the advanced chorus their sophomore year. Accompanists for the group were Nancy Morley and Diane Shirey. Accompanied by Donna Pottinger, Girls Chorus II practiced twice a week. Four upperclassmen at- tended the County Chorus Festival. They were Ruth- ann Augustine, soprano I, Elaine Hugh, soprano l, lean Brinker, soprano ll, and Norine Hurite, alto I. The berobed girls appeared in an assembly and also sang in the spring concert. Every Tuesday and Thursday, the auditorium resounded with the voices of Boys Chorus I and ll. Boys Chorus I, the elementary chorus for boys, was directed by Mr. Ronald Shurie and accompan- ied by Lyn Gordan. There are 38 freshmen boys en- rolled in this choral group. Boys Chorus ll, the advanced chorus for boys, sang to die accompaniment of Charles Frischmann. The group was well represented by five boys at the county chorus held in February at Ieannette. The representatives to this affair were: Ichn Gardner, Wayne Campbell, Daniel Reeping, Robert Shust, and Martin Small. The choral groups performed in the annual Spring Vocal Concert at the high school along with 'he other choruses. Both solo and mixed numbers were included in the program. F' Completing the twenty-fourth year of service to the high school is the Student Council under the supervision of the advisor, Mr. Iames R. Beatty. This student organization is composed of pupils, se- lected by classmates from homerooms or other school or- ganizations. During the first week of school, Kenneth Brookbank was chosen as president of the Council. Assist- ing him as vice-president was junior, Robert Young. Tak- ing minutes at the meetings was recording secretary, Ruth Coll, while Iim Danko as treasurer kept the financial re- cords. One of the many services of the Student Council was conducting the refreshment stand at the athletic field. Dur- ing the football, basketball, and wrestling seasons the public could purchase refreshments from the Council members working in these positions. Another of the Coun- cil's jobs was conducting the check room for the major social affairs at the school. Representatives Unite O OFFICERS Ruth Coll, Ken Brookbank. lim Danko and Bob Young discuss the Sadie Hawkins Dance. Each year three dances are sponsored as social acti- vities for the student body. An annual event is the Sadie Hawkins Dance to which the girls invited boys. The Stu- dent Council also sponsors the All-Class Play. The annual art exhibit was presented again this year to the student body by Mr. Beatty. The students then se- lected the three pictures which were purchased by the Council and added to the permanent collection. The duty of caring for the pictures rests upon the Council members. Completing the list of services rendered by the Stu- dent Council were bi-weekly devotions in assembly, and ushering for Eighth Grade Day, Freshman Day and Parents' Night. As recognition of their service, 22 members of the Stu- :lent Council received letters or certificates on Awards Day, which were obtained by earning a total of eighteen points or credits during the past year.

L Creed will be presented at this time. The Pennsylvania State Convention was held at Kennard Dale High School, Fawn Grove, Pennsyl- vania. Ann Pollins and Mary Reeping were delegates from Latrobe. During the past year Miss Adeline Reeping, advisor of the local Iunior Classical League, filled the position of state chairman. The duties of state proconsul were preformed by Mary Steele. The state convention lasted for a weekend, with a chartered bus conveying 45 students from Latrobe High to the gathering. Events of all kinds kept every- one busy. Discussion groups, dances, and many other organized activities continued throughout the weekend. Although a local Latin banquet was not held this year, invitations from many nearby schools were extended to the Latin department. Southwest Greens- burg High School, among others, included Latrobe in their banquet plans. Another activity in which the Latin students par- ticipate is to correspond with other students in La- tin. These pen pals are Italian boys and girls who are also studying Latin. In this way a better use of Latin is gained. Projects displayed during Latin Week included research in Roman culture, myths and legends, as well as other objects of interest. Baked goods, Ro- man styles, and artistic works helped give students a better idea of life in the days when the Latin lan- guage was spoken. Through trips, activities, and projects, students learn not only the Latin language, but cultural mater- ial. Knowledge of Roman family life, business life, and recreation aids in stimulating interest in Latin. lasslcal League eature Convention, Banquet, Inttatton, Bus Trtps Assembly To further love of Roman culture and language lS the purpose of the Iun1or Classical I ague a na tional organ1zat1on to which he La robe d1v1s1on belongs Under the direction ot MISS Adellne Reepmg the group was headed by consuls Ann Poll1ns and Peggy Green Serving as proconsurs durtng the past year were Bill Hays and Mary Reeptng As scr1bes Margaret Krehlic and Iudy Iohnston record ed the m1nutes of the meetings Quaestors Nelson lVlcGu1re and Dennts Donnelly and exporators Peg gy lVlcCullough and Tom Marley complete the list of ofhcers Protect d1splays gave a t1tt1ng welcome to the annual Latin Week 1n February Each 1 ear Auxllium Lattnurn tests are adm1n1stered to the members of the Latin department Because of the high scores of several persons Latrobe High School was awarded The Readers Club headed by Ioyce Graham IS another aCl1V1lY undertaken by the Latin students ICL Fxrst Row Hettertch Potthotl Har vey Zmk Sowers McRae I Fry lnselmlrl Rullo Blame Hunter Oshnork Blame Second Row Kutchltvy Mtlon Snyder Senior B Per Rupert Schtrt Short Kalokennos Mar tm Roman Hanna lVl1tchell Third Row Mooney Lrghtcap Berberlch Pagnanelll Bangor Paxton Leccta LalVlant1a Zun dell Halsall Rafferty Guztk Mowry Campbell Fxrst Row Cerxt Reeptng Mc Gu1re McCullough Dudmsky Green Pollms Ioltnston Mall ey Krel 'tc Hayes Dunlap Second Row Campbell Edmtns ton Brode H .vttt Myers Stck enberger Morlcy Mtckwtcz Kattan Brant Sh walter Lloyd Harr Thtrd Row Ktng Poerstel Haspet Cram Doltnar Kuhn E1cker Pershmg Shultz Shtrey Fatt Yanarella 77 Readmg to the bedrtdden ch1ldren was done through out the year Each Christmas a basket of g1its IS g1ven to the ch1ldren at Latrobe Hospttal by the or ganlzation The Nat1onal Latm Honor SOCIETY l as a number of students from Latrobe as members To be el1g1ble for the honor an average of 90 for the first three quarters IS necessary The 1n1t1at1on of new members to the society took place 1n May Anotl'-er protect of the I C L 1S the sale ot pen c1ls with the I C L creed printed on hem The pro ceeds are used to a1d delegates to attend the state and nat1onal Iun1or Class1cal League conven 1ons A modern1zed vers1on of Aeneas and Dido was presented 1n assembly by the Latin department for the enjoyment of the student bodv A v1s1t to telev1s1on stat1on WQED in P1ttsburgh was one of The Iunlor Classical League not 0 ly furthers interest 1n Roman culture but also 1n Greek culture 0 I . . . .

In its seventh year of service at Latrobe High School was the Fire Patrol. At the sound of the siren this organization went to work seeing that fire drills moved quickly and efficiently. After a fire drill had been signaled, members of the patrol inspected the building to see if win- dows and doors were closed and lights were turned off. Removing unauthorized persons from the area was also the duty of the volun- teers. Fire extinguishers and fire alarm systems are checked at the be- ginning of each year in order to be in perfect condition in case of fires. The patrol is composed of boys from all four classes.

Although the Wildcat gridders did not compile an impressive record from the standpoint of games won and lost, the squad exhibited an understanding of football technique and provided followers with many exciting moments. in the opening game of the season, the Orange men recorded their first and only victory of the '54 campaign. The Cat squad came up from behind to defeat Shenley High, 19-6. Bill Bleehash registered two tallies for the locals, while Ron Hauser struck paydirt once. In spite of the fact that the Cats triumphed over their first opponent, the Derry Township Eagles downed the local gridders by a decisive score of 20-4. The pour points for the locals were scored on two safties. The contest was spirited and displayed hard fought football. For the first away tilt, the gridmen traveled to Penn High of Rosedale, where the Wildcats again tasted defeat, bowing 26-O. The Cats lost their third game of the season as they were downed by the Wilkinsburg Tigers by a score of 27-0. The Penn game opened competition with AA foes. The powerful Ieannette layhawks provided the next grid tussle for the Orangemen. Although the locals held the Iayhawks scoreless throughout the first half and most of the third period, the leannette eleven departed with a 33-0 victory. The victors went on unbeaten until their final game, that with Greensburg. Displaying marked improvements, the Wild- cats narrowly missed overthrowing the Connells- ville gridiron aggregation. Up to the fourth period 'he Wildcats held the Cokers to a 0-0 standstill. In the final canto, however, the Cokers scored four straight touchdowns. Ralph Hunter, a reserve half- back, scored the Cats lone tally to end the game with a score of 26-6. A week later, the Orange and Black team yield- ed to a powerful Greensburg Golden Lion eleven by a 14-0 count. The Cats threatened to score several times, but the Greensburg defense was too strong. Long runs won for the county seat team. The Wildcat eleven narrowly escaped being l shut out when the New Kensington football squad downed the locals, 28-6.

Latrobe's lone tally was scored by Ierry Goebel. The season was concluded when Latrobe en- countered the Altoona Mountain Lions. Although this contest was originally scheduled to take place much earlier in the season, the disastrous flood waters that covered this district at that time forced a cancel- lation. ln this closing encounter, the Lions reigned victorious by defeating the Wildcats. The game was played late in November, and the host eleven tri- umphed. Thus concluded the gridiron season with the re- cord showing one victory and nine setbacks.

Iumping back into the winning column, the kit- tens defeated the Derry Twp. jayvees l2-7, at Mem- orial Stadium. Hitting paydirt this time were half- backs Ken Macey and Ralph Hunter. Both attempts for the extra point failed. The Twp. reserves threat- ened several times but the locals were able to hold them to one touchdown. On October 25, the kittens closed their home ap- pearances by bowing to the Connellsville understu- dies 32-6. The locals hit the scoring column on a five yard plunge by Tom Riley: again the try for the extra point failed.

This time the greenies played to a 0-0 deadlock, although the proteges of Coaches Wild and Dunn threatened to store several times. For their first home appearance of the year, the Freshmen squad lost their second game to the Greensburg freshmen, 6-0. A blocked punt in the first quarter set up the opponents' score. Despite this first canto handicap, the greenies play- ed the rest of the game to a deadlock. Hitting the road once again, the Frosh fell before the Connellsville Frosh 26-6.
