FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY We started the year with 26 pupils. Our homeroom was in the Library with Mrs. Taylor as our class advisor. On December 14, 1953 Mr. Fen- chak became our new teacher and class advisor. We held our first class meeting on September 4, 1953 and elected the following officers: President Don ld Chiodo Vice President Thomas Renwick Secretary Rachel Woodward Treasurer ......................... Bernard Clark Class Advisor Mr. Fenchak We selected for our class flowers yellow and white roses and our class colors yellow and blue. On September 21, 1953 we selected our motto — “Nothing without labor.” The Juniors held an Initiation for the Freshman Class, Friday, Sept. 26, 1953. It was gruesome for the Freshmen but the Juniors had a wonder- ful time. Afterwards we were served cup cakes, ice cream and pop. The members of the Freshman class who participated on the basket- ball team, which began in November were as follows: Donald Chiodo, Ron- ald Brundridge, Daniel Scanish, Thomas Renwick, Ronnie Hudsick. Those who played baseball were Thomas Renwick and Ronnie Hudsick. We participated in a Christmas program, which was shown only to the students of the school. A film strip was shown and Bernard Clark act- ed as narrator. The girls chorus sang Christmas Hymns. Some members of our class took part in the Variety show held on May 6, 1954. They took parts in such acts as “The Bunny Hop,” “Choir,” “Baby Show” and other skits.

EIGHTH GRADE For the school year of 1953-54 our enrollment consisted of 26 pupils. This number included two new members, Sally Batterson, who had attend- ed school at Cyclone, and Linda Riccadonna of Big Run. Later in the year Mary Carroll of St. Catherine’s School in DuBois and Marena Cataldo of Weedville Schools joined us. Near the end of the term we took part in a “Musical Variety Show.’’ Mrs. Jameson, our music teacher, directed this production. Robert Scan- ish opened our part by playing, “After the Victor March.” This was fol- lowed by a piano duet, “La Grace, played by Alice Riccadonna and Patri- cia Newell. The entire class then sang, “The Little Dutch Mill.” The girls wore white hats representing Dutch hats. These hats were made by the eighth graders who also made Dutch shoes. Neil Rogers, John Zernell, and Edward Seduski were stage helpers for the entire show. Patricia Newell
