Completing the list of school doctors are Dr. Paul Mankovich, Dr. Walter Hazlett, Dr. R. G. Witherspoon, Dr. Ioseph Doherty and Dr. G. E. Hubert. Aiding the physicians are two dentists, Dr. B. A. Wright, Sr. and Dr. M. Showalter. All junior and freshmen students receive the check-up conducted by the doctors. The physical examinations were previously admin- istered in the health rooms but are now given at the Second Ward School. At the same time the physicals are administered to the students, they also receive complete dental examinations from the school dentists. During the examinations, the pupils are given eye tests and ear tests. They are ad- ministered by Mrs. Florence Young, school nurse for the Latrobe district. Also checked at this time are chest, heart, feet and blood pressure. The primary purpose of the physical examinations is to find all defects of the stu- dents and to make the defects known to the parents. The physical tests are given in the mor- ning and usually occur during the first sem- ester. Standing: Dr. Witherspoon, Dr. Sproch, Dr. Hazlett, Dr. Gibson.

The Vocational Training Course of Latrobe High School offers this. After graduating, boys who were enrolled in this course have an invaluable knowledge which is necessary for employment in the many industries of Latrobe and Western Pennsylvania. Included in this course are wood shop, machine and electric shops and drafting. Early in their high school career, the pupils select the particular field in which they wish to ad- vance. Students in each field acquire ex- perience and work directly with tools and machines as in actual factory work. In the wood shop boys become skilled in making furniture and producing wood articles. Many students make articles such as tables, shelves, chairs, cabinets, desks and window frames. Some who enrolled in the course make wood working their vocation. The principal objective of the electric shop is to make boys familiar and skilled in working with electrical devices. They learn about O COMPLICATED DRAFTING PROBLEMS are completed by Bob Walker, Ralph Marlett and Dennis Dudzinsky. After Long Hours Of Strenuous Labor Comes Finished Product, Satisfaction motors and appliances To understand and acquaint students with machines and tools is the opportunity offered to boys by the machine department. Graduates of this course may advance in industry as ma- chinists. Finally, the drafting class offers to students preparation in planning and managing plans for machines and products of industry. The drafting students were in charge of decorating the Hollywood Shop window of downtown Latrobe during American Education Week. Students enrolled in these courses prove to be of service to the school by applying their knowledge to actual repair work in the high school. Each year contests are sponsored by the Latrobe Lions Club and other concerns. During this period the products of the shops are dis- played. Many prizes and medals are awarded for outstanding achievement. The Vocational Courses of Latrobe High School prove to be invaluable in molding students of our school into efficient and skilled workers.

Here, amid the halls of Latrobe High, the key is waiting for every student who accepts the challenge. Entering the school for the first encounter with higher education, the freshmen found the task of making a Latin project a bit discourag- ing, but the thrill of seeing it displayed in the trophy case left him well rewarded. The soda-acid fire extinguisher made in science class was fascinating. To give an extemporane- ous talk in English class was a frightening thought, but when it was all over, well - it hadn't been so hard! The sophomores, wiser after a year of ex- perience with high school life, enjoyed doing work in the form of book reports, maps and drawings for extra credit in history class. After hours of work at the cottage, the homernaking student could proudly display a new jumper in the halls knowing she had made it. Working on autobiographies brought back long-forgoten childhood memories to many.

To assume duties of class officers the seniors chose two boys and three girls. Acting as president was Iohn Kocerha. Ioseph Cun- ningham served as vice-president while Bonnie Demangone kept meeting records as secretary. Treasurer was Nancy Wedemeyer and Ellen Cunliffe filled the office of Student Council representative. Although completing the study of the re- quired amount of subjects was the primary goal of these four-year students, numerous extra- curricular activities have been a part of this last year. Among the undertakings of many seniors were orations, extemps, debates, poetry read- ing, Shakespearian reading and declamations. The class was well represented in the various clubs of the school also. The All-Class Play, Happy Daze, and the Senior Class Play, So This ls Bliss gave opportunities for the dra- matically inclined seniors to display their tal- ents. Class Night constituted the final produc- tion for the class of '56. Among the musical organizations in which seniors participated were Band, Orchestra, Boys' Chorus ll and Girls' Chorus ll. State, district and county festivals also found twelfth grade students present, Varsity football and basketball, wrestling, track, cross country, tennis and golf found many senior boys as participants. As another class graduates it leaves behind a year of accomplishment. 28 Haw. .EEZ FLEX' 't'ELT.L'E. .. VV .........-.4 g -.1 v- .Af xg. sv 'S ,,.4 W 'tnr ?

William Hays Vice President , Cyril Derek Secretary Kena Mastrorocco Treasurer Marlene Mitchell Student Council Steve Laposky As the class of 1957 commenced their third year as high school students, they elected fel- low pupils to act as class officers. Leading the class in its activities were William Hays, president: Ieff Derek, vice-presi- dent: Kena Mastrorocco, secretary: Marlene Mitchell, treasurer and Steve Laposky, Student Council representative. Helping to make the sports scene a suc- cessful one were many of the junior boys who participated in all phases of the sports field. Fourteen amateur thespians, with the assistance of production committees, helped make the Iunior Class Play, Finders Creepers, a suc- cess. Four students also enacted roles in the All-Class Play entitled Happy Daze. The annual event of treating the seniors with the Iunior-Senior prom was undertaken by the Iunior Class with the guidance of Miss Irene Mertz. The excitement of Moving-Up Day will always be remembered by the students who took part in the program. Also included on the list of activities of the lunior Class was the participation of twenty girls as members of the Iunior Guard of Honor.

Suzanne Pohland Treasurer Bret Pohlarid Student Council Donald Frye With the beginning of the 1955-56 school term the members of the Class of 1958 con- tinued their high school career. Mr. Harry Graham, acting as the advisor, guided the sophomores through a successful year. Students elected to represent their class- mates as officers include: Mark Lenz, president: Elaine Marks, vice-president: Suzanne Pohland, secretary: Bret Pohland, treasurer: and Donald Frye, Student Council Representative. The class was well represented at all school functions. Many attended the dances, sport events and plays. Several sophomores participated in the All-Class Play and others helped make it a success by serving on com- mittees. By joining the football, wrestling, basketball, track and cross-country squads, sop- homores aided in raising the high school's sports record. Girls did their part by playing in the girls' volleyball and basketball games. Sophomores were seen at the meetings of various high school organizations as the Stu- dent Council, President's Club, Iunior Classical League, Student Service and Poster Club. In the years to come, this group will look back on their unforgettable year as sophomores in Latrobe High. V, ea ,3- 'fi' Xa .1 leak DISCUSSING P L A N S for ' ks 1 f 4 1' HOME ROOM 213 First Row: I.

O PLANNING PICTURES are Latrobean Editor Nancy Palmer and Literary Editor IaDee Harvey. After hours of work, with stories either too long or too short, ideas that have failed, and a deadline which must be met, comes the lasting thrill to a journalist-the reading of his story in an edition of the High Post or Latrobean. To become a staff member of the publica- iions, the aspiring writer must enroll in Iournal- ism I taught by Mr. William Couchenour, pub- lications adviser. During the seventh period, the sophomores are taught the five W's-who, what, when, where and why, and their ap- plications in writing lead paragraphs. Having learned the do's and do nots of writing nevis stories, features and headlines, the business and advertising phases are mas- iered. Upon completing nine months of training, the journalist finds himself in Iournalism II with a position on the staff. Besides writing sfories for the High Post, students submit stories of school activities to the Latrobe Bul- letin for publication. Meanwhile, Latrobean write-ups and pictures progress according tc a rigid schedule. One of the goals of these pupils is to achieve membership in the Quill and Scroll. To do this he must have 300 inches published and rank in the upper third of his class schol- astically. ,Q .

Musical organizations, band and orchestra extend to musically minded students an oppor- tunity to participate in these extra-curricular activities. Under the tutelege of Mr. Ernest Teichert, instrumental instructor for the grade schools and high school orchestra, the high school organi- zation performs for many things. County or District orchestra are attended by those students selected. Ligonier High School was the site for the 1956 County Orches- tra with the following participating: Barbara Gebicki and Nancy Morley, violin: Iack Frisk, viola: Carol Gordon, cello: Carol Feather, bass: Peggy Green, flute: Gary Long, trombone: and Nancy Halsall, horn. District orchestra participants were Barbara Gebicki and Nancy Morley, violin: Iack Frisk, viola: and Carol Gordon, cello. It was held at North Allegheny High School. Under the baton of Mr. Ronald Shurie, music theory teacher, the band performs at football games, pep assemblies, the annual concert and at Baccalaureate and Commence- ment in the stadium. The band drills two weeks before school starts and also every evening after school during football season. Likewise, in band, students are chosen to represent the school in county and district band held this year at Waynesburg High School. Those included were Sara Iane Bitner, oboe: Zoe Ann Burgoon, alto clairnet: and Nancy Halsall, French horn.

Mr. Ronald Shurie led the choral groups in supplying musical enjoyment for the re- mainder of the student body. The advanced choruses included Girls' Chorus II and Boys' Chorus II. Twice a Week, members of Girls' Chorus II gathered in the auditorium for practice. Ac- companist was senior, Donna Pottinger. Major activities began in December with the singing of Christmas carols in the halls. They also sang at the annual senior ceremony, Bacca- laureate. Sophomore, junior and senior boys com- posed Boys' Chorus II. Playing the piano was Lynn Gordan, sophomore. This male chorus sang for the oration finals on February 8. For an exchange assembly, the group traveled to Aspinwall High School on April 30. On the same date, the Aspinvvall Chorus sang in La- trobe's auditorium. In preparation for the advanced choruses, freshmen interested in choral Work join either Girls' or Boys' Chorus I. Those who comply to Mr. Shurie's standards graduate into the secondary choruses. Iudith Ann Carnahan, freshman, and Car- ole Martin, junior, were accompanists for Girls' Chorus I. Members of this preliminary or- ganization looked forward to becoming a part of Girls' Chorus II. A major activity of Boys' Chorus I was singing for Eighth Grade Day on April 21. Aiding the director as he taught the fundamen- tals of choral singing was freshman Marcia Guzik, accompanist. The local choruses also vied in district, county and state contests. Selected members attended these events as representatives of Latrobe High School. In March County Chorus was held at St. Vincent College: while District Chorus was conducted at Shaler High School in April. The choruses worked hard to perform the various activities.

Gnridders Provide Exciting Moments In Seasons Gaines Sportsmanship and spirited team work were several of the many outstanding qualities displayed throughout the 1955 football season by the Latrobe High School eleven. Although the Wildcat gridders did not compile an impressive record from the stand- point of games won and lost, the squad ex- hibited an understanding of football technique and provided followers with many exciting moments. In the first game of the season, the Orange men recorded their first victory of the '55 cam- paign. Scoring markers the first two times the Cats got control of the ball, the Wildcats re- corded a 14-0 decision over the Schenley High Spartans. Carrying over both of the touchdowns was Ierry Goebel, while Sammy Smith made good on both extra points. ln their second home encounter, the Latrobe eleven was upset by the running of Iohn Gelsdorf, who sprinted 73 yards down the middle of the gridiron to score the second marker for the Derry Area Joint A High School. The final score read 19-0 and a loss for the Cats. pre VARSITY-IUNIOR VARSITY FOOTBALL First Row: Sarnese, Hunter, Piper, Houck, Macey, Cunningham, Goebel, Stynchula, Carroll, Rusnock, Marinchak.

In the last home contest of the year the gridders were handed a 13-6 defeat by New Kensington High School eleven. Early in the game Ierry Goebel scored on a one-yard plunge. Another 'AA' defeat was administer- ed the Latrobe Wildcats by the Uniontown Red Raiders, 27-0. Thus the gridiron season with the record showing two victories and eight setbacks. 0 P R A C T I C E AND MORE practice, rnctlo cf coaches.
