'Y --' A ' ' THE STORY OF OUR PAST SCHOOL YEAR RELATED With the goal of Graduation Day constantly before them, Seniors, Juniors, and Sopho- mores strive for perfection in their chosen courses. From all the opportunities, both edu- cational and social, offered at Har-Brack, these students hope to gain confidence and knowledge that will equip them for a pro- fession and to meet the problems of every- day life. They have hours of hard work in class- rooms and labs, but there are also football games, pep rallies, dances, and many other varied activities to provide the atmosphere that make school days ci treasured memory in later years. A sound mind in a sound body. This is the aim of our athletic department at Har- Brack High School. Long a favorite, football draws extremely large crowds to the Har-Brock field where the team fights for the Green and White on home grounds. The early spring season finds baseball, track, and golf practice well under way and the Tiger prowess becoming a well established fact. Between the fall and spring sports, an active basketball aggregation seizes the sports spotlight and keeps school spirit very high as they gamely fight for the Alma Mater. IN PICTURE AND IN TYPE An education is not complete unless the student is provided with the opportunity to fully develop the social graces necessary in society. In Har-Brack a wide variety of organiza- tions provide the students an ample oppor- tunity for supplementing the education ob- tained from the classrooms with the knowl- edge obtained from association with others. Some organizations, through tours, debates, and guest speakers, demonstrate how prin- ciples learned during study time are applied in business, manufacturing, and other fields. Other clubs function solely for promoting fel- lowship and establishing lifelong friendships among the Har-Brack students.

'H-gg -- Q +-vi' Co operation for Accamplishment SCHOOL BOARD The School Board is the keystone of the school and the link which ties it to the com- munity. The reason for an elected board is that it can make wiser and sounder policy decisions and is more representative of the total popu- lation it serves than an individual agent. The board acts as a safeguard against fraud and corruption in educational services and since the members serve without compensation it Standing is an economical means of management. The School Board is in charge of supervis- ing our school and seeing that the needs of the students of Har-Brack are fulfilled. Due to the foresight and efforts of the mem- bers a new addition was planned and com- pleted. To the Board of Education goes our grateful thanks for all they have done for our school and for the Senior Class. z Mr. Henschel, Mr. Korpanty, Mr. Marshall, Mr. Hunter, Mr. Huinsfurther, Mr. Ross, Mr. Walter, Mr Qui le r 9 Y Sitting: Mr. Wadding, Dr. Rollins, Mr. Young, Mr. Coulter, Mr. Friel, Miss Jastremslti, Mrs. Pierre qi 'aww A M---'Q-i.,,,!

I TAUGHT THEE. fShokespec1reD Sponsors: Mr. Beck, Miss Broadfoot, Mr. Hudson, Mrs. Mitchell The class of T956 was an accidental dis- covery. Three years ago, in September of l953, the faculty of Har-Brack High School suddenly caught a glimpse of something strange and new. Just inside the front door, huddled together in mute embarrassment and anxiety, were the members of what has be- come the class of 1956. Gently, attempting to clispel the fears of the strangers, the faculty bade them enter and spent the next few weeks attempting to gain their confidence and friendship. During the first month at school, the sopho- mores suffered much inconvenience because of their unfamiliarity with the traffic rules of the new country. They were always taking wrong turns, being on the wrong floor, and arriving at their classes fifteen minutes late. But by Thanksgiving, they were often in the right place at the right time. A class meeting was called. Barbara Rum- mel was elected the first female class Presi- dent in the history of Har-Brack. To help her bear the responsibility of our first year, we Chose Robert Stimel, Vice President, Marlene Gamer, Secretary-Treasurer, Charlotte Hogg, Activities Board Representative. The advisers elected to aid us were Miss Broadfoot, Mrs. Kennedy, Mr. Glowacki, and Mr. Hudson. Our sophomore year was highlighted when our boys led us to an unbeaten football sea- son and Pitt Stadium for the W.P.I.A.L. Play- off. Our worthy opponent was Donora and as it happened the score was 0-O. The schools were declared co-champions. The S 8- S was the only social event of our sophomore year. The females enioyed it greatly, but the male sophomores found the dance torture. Our projects were selling Snow-Magic and stationery. William Montgomery Barbara Rummel Carol Strobel President Vice President Secretary The following were elected officers for our junior year: William Montgomery, President, Barbara Rummel, Vice President, Emanuel Gregory, Treasurer, Carol Strobel, Secretary, and Walter Zahorchak, Activities Board Repre- sentative. Mrs. Mitchell was elected as spon- sor to replace Mrs. Kennedy. The junior year found classrooms more familiar and studying much easier. Our talents were now developing. During this year, we honored the Class of '55 with the Junior 8t Senior Prom on May 6. The projects of our junior year were selling Easter Candy and subscriptions to the nation's leading magazines. On Move-Up Day we proudly took the place of the graduating class, and looked forward to our approaching senior year. Once again we had a class meeting and elected as our senior class officers: William Montgomery, President, Barbara Rummel, Vice President, Louise Mattioli, Treasurer, Carol Strobel, Secretary, and Thomas Walkowiak, Activities Board Representative. The social events in our senior year were of marked brilliance. There were the Senior Prom, the J 81 S, sponsored by the Juniors, and the S 81 S, sponsored by the Sophomores. Our Senior Class Play showed talents quite beyond surmising, and the donors were re- ceived gracefully by all. On Move-Up Day we took our places on the stage as the gradu- ating class. The faculty and underclassmates helped and pampered us until the closing of Commencement exercises. We explorers now must continue to higher goals, each with a chosen vocation. However, all shall not be forgotten. Ten years from now we shall meet again for a Class Reunion.

IN SPRINGTIME-Love On Friday evening, May 6, 'l955, the couples began to arrive at the Brackenridge Heights Country Club to attend the annual Junior-Senior Prom. The Prom, sponsored by our junior class, was in honor of the graduat- ing seniors. How diligently everyone worked selling magazines and candy to raise funds for the dance. The money enabled us to finance the Junior-Senior Prom successfully. That very afternoon our junior class Prom Committee gathered together to decorate the ballroom. The theme of the prom was Au Printemps-L'Amour or In Springtime-Love, The committee worked vigorously arranging freshly cut flowers, making centerpieces, and giving the room just the right atmosphere. The ballroom became filled with dancing couples. The orchestra of Barry Blue enter- tained everyone with fine music. As the eve- ning went by, pictures were taken, and, of course, there were punch and cookies served for refreshments. But this evening had to end all to soon! Those who attended the Prom had enjoyed themselves. We were proud to honor the seniors this night and it is with great anticipation that we look forward to this year's Junior-Senior Prom. We wonder wl1at's so funny There was evidence of a good time Prelude to an enjoyable evening JUNIORS OFFICERS: President, N. Gamer: Activities Board Repre- sentative, R.

TO STIMULATE A SPIRIT The Har-Brack Tiger Football Squad opened the 1955 football season by meeting the Brad- ford High School team at Bradford. The Tigers won the game by a score of 20-0. Following the game the team went to the Emory Hotel where they stayed the night. The school re- ceived a letter from the hotel manager com- mending the fine behavior of the boys. The following Friday the Big Green met North Catholic and were again victorious I9-0. Windber, the Tiger's next foe, was defeated by a score of 8-0. lt was the first time in five years that Windber was held scoreless. The squad then iourneyed to Butler where they met the Golden Tornadoes. Although the game ended in a 7-7 tie, it was a moral victory for the Tigers, since the Tornadoes were chosen a two touchdown favorite. With five regulars out due to the hard fought Butler game, Har-Brack went down under Central Catholic 8-O. This was our first downfall. The Big Green had very little trouble in defeating Donora, the team which they tied in the Championship game two years ago. The score was 13-0. Against Ken Hi the Big Green again came out on the winning side of a 'I9-0 score. The Red Raiders have not beaten a Har-Brack team since the present coaching staff took over the team. OF FAIR PLAY AND TEAMWORK The squad met a fired-up Vandergrift team and was on the losing end of a 21-6 score at half time. However, in the second half the team showed more spirit and with a thunder- ing offense came on to win 25-21. In the next game the tables were turned and Har-Brack lost to o highly spirited New Castle team, 'I4-6. The Tigers defeated Rochester in the final game of the schedule by a 14-6 score to end the season with a 7-2-l record. The four- point stance, a new one for Har-Brock, proved to be very successful in this game. lt will undoubtedly be given great consideration next season. Concentrated team effort and the inspired play of the defensive unit drove the team on to many victories and made for a very successful season. Back Row: C, Olsxewski, J. Koteski, B. Geiger, H.

Football players come in assorted weights, heights, iersey colors, and numbers, but all football players have the same creed: to play every second of every minute of every period of every game to the best of their ability. Football players are found everywhere- underneath, on top of, running around, iump- ing over, twisting from, or driving through the enemy. Teammates rib them, officials pen- alize them, students cheer them, kid brothers idolize them, coaches criticize them, all the girls adore them, alumni tolerate them, and mothers worry about them. A football player is Courage in cleats, Hope in a helmet, and the best of Young Manhood in moleskins. Walt Zclhorchak, Jean Simmers, Queeng Bob Orris, Kingg 1955 Sept. Oct. Nov.

Despite pre-season predictions, the Har- Brack quint played sound basketball through- out the campaign. They even came through with a few upsets to make the race a little tougher than it was supposed to be. The games they lost were to the league leaders, and these were only by a few points. The starting five, consisting of three seniors and two iuniors, showed marked improve- ment over last year's team. Coach Karl, in BASKETBALL his sophomore year as head coach, stressed all-around speed in place of all-around height and took advantage of the fast break. Sen- iors playing their last games this year were: Jim Foster, Carl Hooks, Bob Orris, Bill Reitler, and Willie Stroud. The iunior varsity enjoyed a very successful season, winning better than seventy-five per- cent of their games. Coach Staresinic had a well-balanced team, and his record shows the fruits of his efforts. The section, in general, was considerably tougher than in previous years. New Ken- sington, Butler, and Ford City led the pack. The Tigers were not among the leaders, but they tasted the blood of many a victim who fell before their fangs. But yet in a wider sense, basketball is not all winning. The losses must be accepted with the victories, and our Green and White cagers never gloated over a beautifully played game nor were they ever depressed over a defeat. They will always be on top in sportsmanship. The outlook for the future is very bright be- cause ofthe good showing by the iuniors and sophomores. ln a few years we are all sure that the Tigers will be on top looking down, instead of in the middle looking up.

All that you will read and see is being perpetuated on these pages, so that in times to come, when you read the '56 Yearbook, it will bring to your mind many cherished memories. Each student, when he becomes a senior, can still remember each of the last three Sep- tembers, every one with a thrill, especially the first, when as a small and inexperienced GER Assistant Editor: Barbara Rummel Editor: Kenneth Rankin Carol Strobel R AND BECOME FRIENDS . sophomore he was ushered into an adven- turous chapter of his life. Three times he has seen the leaves blown from the trees, just as his troubles were blown away by his kind teachers, and twice in June, looking on with a dream in his eyes, saw his upper classmates graduate. Yes, this cycle has been and will be wit- nessed for many years to come. Students will come and go, but fine school spirit and traditions will remain with them, through the Tiger, their Key to the Past. STAFF: Standing: Art Editor, M. Gamer, Photography Editor, E.

The ninety person Mixed Chorus consists of students who were chosen for vocal quality, interest in singing, and willingness to par- ticipate in activities. The Chorus provides much entertainment for the valley by singing for various clubs and groups, and on each program they proudly wear the green robes, obtained through the efforts of their diligent work. The Mixed Chorus has many projects and social affairs. Together with four other schools, they presented a Choral Festival. Later, with the Har-Brack Band, they presented a Spring Festival. Then, at the closing ofthe school year. QByronJ the Integrity Lodge became the scene of a formal dance for all Chorus members. Senior members are presented with sweaters bought with money gained from bake sales. Credit is given to Mr. Bruno, Sponsor, the officers, Nick Claditis, President, Bobby John- son, Vice President, Louis Pisani, Treasurer, and Carole Koteski, Secretary for the work they have done to produce a fine Chorus. We hope that the Har-Brack Mixed Chorus will be as successful in the future as it has been in the past, and that it will reflect the spirit of co-operation and friendliness to all Har-Brack students. img 'f af 7 'Q .f -' 4 F51 9 -.J ft '53 rv X. diffs: my X V 4' -7 3. f ' - .N , d ., -. h lt, -.

Two of the most progressive organizations at Har-Brock High School are the band and mixed chorus. Their efforts put forth to enter- tain the community as well as the school are unsurpassed by other organizations. The students and faculty realized how out- standing the band and chorus were during the Christmas season. The combined band and chorus presented one of the best assemblies of the year, and all who saw it were pleased with the talents of both organizations. In belonging to the band the students gain the experience of being a member of an active organization where co-operation and self- discipline are practiced and where a feeling of accomplishment and confidence can be experienced. The band in our school supplies all of these valuable experiences and also gives the students many hours of enioyable activity. During the summer the band, the major- ettes, and the cheerleaders went to Blue Knob State Park for one week of concentrated prac- tice and drill. For recreation there were swim- ming, baseball games, and wiener roasts. But along with the fun each student had his share of K.P. The Har-Brack Band and Tigerettes of 1955 marched before the football audience for the first time at the Har-Brock-North Catholic foot- ball game. Mr. Heinrichs presented the band in a colorful drill displaying the results of their intensive efforts at the band camp. The biggest crowd ever to converge on a Har-Brock field was at the ninth annual Alle- gheny-Kiski Valley High School Band Festival in November. More than one thousand mem- bers of eleven high school bands participated in the event. The combined bands of Apollo, Arnold, East Deer, Freeport, Har-Brack, Leech- burg, New Kensington, Springdale, Tarentum, Vandergrift, and West Deer played and per- formed drills for the audience. Mixed Chorus is a subiect that demands thinking, it utilizes all the senses of a human being. Mixed Chorus is a wonderful socializ- ing factor and, as for the pure enioyment of being together and singing, it brings to the student many happy hours spent in socializa- tion. In chorus, one learns to respect the rights of others and to become a good citizen. On December 6 and 7 the second annual Choral Festival was held at Arnold High School. The Chorus of approximately five hundred students from Arnold, Har-Brack, New Kensington, Springdale, and Tarentum sang Christmas selections for the vast audi- ence. Mr. Bruno organized the plan for the Choral Festival last year. Its purpose is to foster better relations among participating communities, schools, and students. u ki ,,,,,,,.2' , A 9 B WYL' f, as A 4 A . 4 5 K -I -, A tix-fix-IVQPKG V 7 .. af' .,. + I xl' Ea u ' -Q 'xl RH , ah X---4?

The band has partic- ipated in many activities which include march- ing at football games, Halloween Parades, the Holy Name Rally in Pittsburgh, the Heights Plaza's opening day celebration, and the Christmas Parade in Tarentum. Prior to football season the band members went to band camp for the first time in its history. The site for this year's camp was the Blue Knob State Park. On October 'l, the Har-Brack band played host to eleven other high school bands in the Allegheny-Kiski Area Band Festival. The fes- tival which displayed a wide array of talent was witnessed by six thousand people. This year's band has a new addition. He is Tony Cywinski, the band's first drum maior.
