EX LIBRIS 21956 US FOREWO RD Dear Seniors, With this Argus, we have tried to create for you a last- ing memory of the time you spent in high school. As the years go by, we hope that you will often pick up this book, and, glancing through it, recall many happy events and occasions. It has often been said that high school days are the best, and, now that we have come to the close oi the school year, we realize that this saying has become a reality. Although these days are vanished forever, the thoughts, ideas, and traits we have learned will be reflected through- out our lives. lf, when entering high school, we had pos- sessed the right attitude, sought knowledge, and worked industriously, then, upon graduation, we should have had a feeling of pride for a iob well done. Our country, in this modern and complicated age, will need young, enterprising citizens to help guide it in the years to come. This, as we know, is not an easy iob, there. fore, students should do all in their power to prepare them, selves for this task. Race, creed, and color are no hind- rances in our country, hence any one of us, if determined, can obtain an education and develop himself to the highest degree. To aid us in this preparation, numerous offerings and scholarships are available today for all of us. From shambles have come men of distinction. Abra- ham Lincoln and George Washington Carver are examples of such competent citizens. They should inspire us to work diligently and to achieve the utmost in life. We hope that each of you will strive to meet the chal- lenge of the future. Only if you put to effective use the knowledge you have gained and the skills you have de- veloped during your high school career, will you be able to cope with the problems that will confront our nation in the years to come. It is, then, with high hopes for your success and with great respect and admiration, that we present this Argus to you, the Class of l956.

E 2 2 3 3 I ADMINISTRATIGN elf? BCJARD OF EDUCATION The Board cf Education of the Huntingdon Area High School is composed of eighteen mem- bers. They are civic-minded men and women elected as representatives of the borough of Hun- tingdon and eleven adioining townships. It is the responsibility of the School Board to see that buildings suitable for school purposes are provided, teachers are hired, necessary sup- plies are obtained, and that funds to finance our school system are raised through taxation. To all members of the Board of Education who have so willingly given their time for the betterment of our schools, the Class of 1956 is indeed grateful. Left to right Seated-Mr. Alex Whitsel, Mr. W. L. Fouse, Supt, R. F. Getty, Mrs. Jean Weir Dr William B West Mr Cecil V Cowder, Mrs. Emily Hoover, Mi. John Swigart, Mr. Richard Endres Mr Merle Heffner Standing Mr Paul Cunningham, Mr. Lloyd Smith, Mr. Peyton Shipp, Mr. Ira Hearn Mr James R long Mr Hubert Gutshall Mr. J. Donald Guisler, Mr. William Hall, Mr, Charles Zilius, Dr Frederic Steele OUR SUPERINTENDENT We salute our superintendent, Mr. Getty, and extend to him our heartfelt apprecia- tion for his interest in the Class of 1956. Mr. Getty has been both mentor and guide to us during our four high school years. His kindness, consideration, and cheerful- ness will always be remembered. Always busy with the complex problems that con- cern the operation of the schools, Mr. Getty still found time to give us much-needed ad- vice and encouragement. Busy secretaries who keep the records straight in both offices-Kay Eichelberger, Jean Weir, and Lee Newcombe. OUR PRINCIPAL As principal, Mr. Shingler must con- stantly make decisions that contribute to the development of an eFficient school pro- gram. His influence has inspired many of us to enter fields of higher learning. ln spite of his numerous duties, which vary from arranging programs and activities to dictating daily announcements, he always finds time for informal talks with students as they come to him with their problems.

The 1956 Argus came into being last year when several stat? members met with representatives from the Canton Engraving Firm to decide upon the theme and art work. Early in the school year pictures were taken, and actual work began. The Pho- tography Staff processed the picturesg and the Literary, Class, and Sports Com- mittees started compiling and writing the material. At the same time, the Busi- ness Managers solicited funcls to help finance the book. The members of the staff are to be commended for their fine cooperation. Their work has made it possible to main- tain the high standards set by annuals of previous years. SPORTS EDITORS Seufed-Richard Fagan, Patricia Goss, William Skipper.

In order to bring the Newsreal into be- ing, a stat? is selected early in the school year. These students are divided into three groups-- feature, news, and sports. Under the super- vision of Mrs. Joyce, a Newsreal staff meet- ing is held at the beginning of each six-weeks period, and topics are assigned to the staff members. At a specific time, the articles are proofread, typed, and sent to the Daily News. When the copy is returned, the editors meet to assemble the paper. It is then sent back to the Daily News to be printed, and, within a few days, is distributed to you, the students.

The Marching Band, led by Dolores Brulia, had a year-'round job. Classes were held throughout the summer, and rehear- sals started a week before the regular school session began. During the fall, the band per- formed at all football games. It participated, with 60 other bands, in the Band Day celebra- tion held at Penn State in November. It was always on call for parades, for school functions, and for civic purposes. The merit system was again employed. ln- troduced last year, this system resulted in better BAND cooperation and better band spirit. Awards were presented to students who had earned the required number of merit points. During the winter months, the Concert Band spent many long hours preparing for the annual school concerts. Deserving members were sent to county and district band festivals. The band also provided music for the Commencement ac- tivities in May. The Pep Band, a small aggregation from the main band, bolstered school spirit at pep rallies and games. lt, too, played a popular role in high school life, and offered additional proof of the importance of the band in major school activities.

These students were active in all music affairs at the high school, and had a distinctive place in the programs at both the Christmas en- tertainment and the spring concerts. They were frequently requested to sing at banquets and in churches of the community. They also took part in the Baccalaureate services given in honor of the seniors. Members of this organization represented our school in county district and state chorus This year the Choralairs served as host group for the State Chorus held in Oller Hall early in May. ln all activities they conducted themselves in a creditable manner. From this group, the director selected small groups and soloists whose presentations added much to the programs in which they participated. Outstanding among these were the Madrigal Group and the Rhythmettes. The Madrigal Sing- ers, a group of twelve, became widely known for their unusual manner of singing and the type of songs they presented. The Rhythmettes, six girls who have sung as a group for three years, also took active part in the music presentations of H. H. S. Both groups were much in demand as entertainers by local clubs and organizations. The Choralairs whether presented as solo- ists small groups or the entire chorus proved indeed a credit to their director the music de partment and the high school Rowl Mr Williams Barbara Rupert Constance Cullman Jean Whitsel Nancy Beaver Kay Burket Patricia Leabhart Jon Peterson Lynn StrerghtiFt Joel Fouse Joan Ciccarelli Row2 Dorothy Powell Ann Johnston Toni Fortey Margaret Whittaker Ruh Porter Sylvia Middlekauft Jane Taylor Dorothy Yoder Charles Fleming Row3 Alice Porter Marian Rockwell Jean Lilly Linda Miller James Shugert Glen Riden James Rockwell Richard Wakefield Duncan Appleby John Swngart Row4 Judith Coen Margaret Lloyd Rutw Purdy Carole David Pamela Guisler La Vonda Getz Grant Nier Jon Mark Richard Fagan Kim Burket Thomas Gutshall 1 ' I r r 1 1 - 1 ' , . 1 - 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 - 1 1 1 1 1 A , . . . .

Maudie and the Opposite Sex, a three-act comedy by Kristin Sergel, was presented by the Senior Class in the Grand Theater, March 7 and 8. This rollicking comedy, dramatized from the well-known Maudie stories by Graeme and Sarah Lorimer, was thoroughly enioyed by the audience. Each cast eftectively portrayed the dilemma of the Mason family with their growing concern over Maudie's affection for her steady, Davy. When Maudie was taken by her family to their distant summer cottage in an effort to cure ,-1 this aFfection, events came to a climax. Maudie pretended to admire a man to whom her parents objected, thereby hoping to be able to return home to Davy. Just as her plan seemed about to succeed, Davy arrived, having hiked 500 miles to see Maudie. Davy's anger at seeing Maudie evidently so fond of another, and an older man at that, brought further complications. How- ever, everything was satisfactorily explained, andthe situation of the Masons and their friends returned to normal, with everyone happy.

H.5. eagerly anticipates is the Junior-Senior Prom. So it was with the Class of T956. During the Junior Year, shortly after mid-term examinations had been completed, the president appointed the various committee members. They immediately selected a theme-to be kept a deep secret- and began to work inclustriously toward a suc- cessful Prom. Finally, Friday, May 6, l955, arrived! The decorating committee spent the entire day trans- forming the gym into a setting of enchantment for those three wonderful hours. At nine o'clock the doors to the powder room were opened to reveal blue and silver stars hanging from ribbon arches, and multi-colored flowers decorating the lockers. Soft music could be heard in the back- ground. The gym had been transformed into a love- ly spring garden with the moon shining brightly through the trees. The theme, Some Enchanted Evening, had been carefully followed in plan- ning and decorating for this event. Pine and dogwood trees encircled the room, with lawn furniture arranged in artistic manner beneath their branches. Also indicative of springtime were the white trellises entwined with red and pink roses. In one corner of the gym, between two lamp posts, was a quaint love-bench. Couples seated here could see the moon shining through floating clouds. The main attraction, however, was the moss-covered fountain that had been erected in the center of the floor. By means of lighting effects, the fountain constantly changed color, and caused the spouting water to glisten with varying hues. For the guests dancing happily amidst all this beauty to the strains of The Seven Notes, the midnight hour arrived all too quickly, and this long-to-be-remembered night was brought to a close. As the members of the class and their guests departed, all agreed that this had truly been Some Enchanted Evening. ,, RWM fi' Y I don't think it will tit, exclaims Kay. Ann suggests that she stretch that crepe paper. Miss Barrick and John consider the problem seriously. Sue and Mary hand out dance programs while the boys dig for their tickets.

At last fulfilling a dream, the 1955 team racked up ten straight victories, with no ties and no defeats, thus raising the Bearcats to the old standard as a real football power. After a mediocre start, Coach Weaver polished up his charges for the most unexpected of all seasons. Taking a group of boys who had won only one game the previous year, he molded them into a team that was destined to take the Western Conference by storm as they compiled a perfect TO-O season. They shared top honors only with the also undefeated Bisons of Clearfield. The Bearcats were also noted for having two All-State players, tackle Wayne Reinbold, who was placed on second team, and fullback Thomas Gutshall, who gained a third team spot. The 'Cats of T955 have indeed set a record that should be a challenge to future football teams.

In the final period, Bellwood lost the ball on downs. Hun- tingdon took over and scored in nine plays. Fa- gan added the point on a bootleg to end the game. Before a capacity crowd, an underdog Bear- cat team took the field against Tyrone and ex- ploded for four touchdowns and a 27-7 victory. Fagan hefted a 35-yard pass to Feagley who went the full route. Miller's boot was true. The 'Cats went 55 yards for the second score with Gutshall and Miller sharing honors. In the sec- ond half, Eichelberger raced 40 yards for the third score, but the point was blocked.

A pass interception by Eichelber- ger resulted in a third 'Cat score. Again before the half ended, Huntingdon scored after a long pass from Fagan to Feagley. Gill made the ex- tra point. In the third period Lock Haven scored again. After the kickoff Huntingdon went all the way in three plays for the final score. A firm H. H. S. line held State College to 46 yards as the Bearcats ground out a 19-6 victory over the Little Lions. The 'Cats first scored of? a punt blocked by Gill on the State 15 and pounced on by Bush. Early in the second period H. H. S. produced another score on MilIer's recovery of a State fumble on the Lion 48. In the second half Perry States' interception of a pass set up the third and final score. 55 yards and 10 plays later the Bearcats crossed the goal line. Ike and Feagley combined for 18 yards, Fagan ran 18, and Gutshall 11. Gutshall made the final TD and Fagan added the point. The lone State tally came on a pass from Pierce to 6' 5 Sweetland who scored. All right, wise guy, let go! Sorry, Dick. Almost, but not quite, ove Huntingdon's seventh win came at the ex- pense of a strong Curwensville team. Eichelber- ger scored after two minutes of play. Curwens- ville fumbled, the 'Cats recovered, and Feagley scored the second TD after a 45-yard run. The Golden Tide hit back in the second half with two quick scores for the lead. Gutshall took the en- suing kickoff 82 yards for the 'Cats' third score and Miller converted. The Tide rebounded to go ahead 20-19 with less than two minutes to play. Following the kickoff, in three plays Fagan set the stage for his perfect toss down the middle to Feagley. Feagley scored, Miller booted the point and the Bearcats won, 26-20. The Bearcats bottled up the highly-touted backs of the unbeaten Hollidaysburg Golden Tig- ers to gain their eighth victory, T9-12. Early in the game Feagley, who tallied twice, put the 'Cats ahead. Miller's boot made the score 7-O. Eichelberger ran 54 yards for the second H. H. S. tally. Hollidaysburg scored on a 5'l-yard Al- bright to Dangel pass, but the extra point try failed. ln the second half Hollidaysburg's Hel- sel scored, but the Bearcats blocked the extra point. In the fourth period, Fagan hit Feagley down the middle, and the scat back hustled the last 25 yards for the final score. The Bearcats ground out their ninth straight victory in a contest lacking flash and zest. Hun- tingdon's first score over Chief Logan came on a 22-yard scamper by Gutshall after two minutes of play. Early in the second period the 'Cats struck again with Eichelberger doing the honors from the ll. Again the extra point was no good. The lone Chief Logan score came after a drive of 80 yards. Following a fourth down gamble, which gave Huntingdon the ball on the Chief Logan 'l4, Fagan unccrked a pass to Gutshail to cap the scoring fcr the day, and the game ended 18-7, Huntingdon.

The 1955-1956 Bearcat basketball team, composed of nine seniors and six iuniors, not only had the best season in eleven years, but also broke and tied several records. This year's team scored more points than any pre- vious Huntingdon High team in any one sea- son, and also in any one game. The 'Cats also tied the record for the most points scored on the Huntingdon court by any team. This record was set when Lock Haven scored 84 points in a game during the 1953-1954 season. The Bearcats compiled a record of eighteen victories and iust three defeats. The H. H. S. players scorecl 1,267 points as against 1,019 points for their opponents. The 'Cats were sparked by Ron Drolsbaugh's 339 points that gave him an average of 16.3, Ron Rin- ker's 320 points for an average of 15.2, and Bob Rudy's 244 points for his 11.2 average. We can certainly thank Coach George Weaver for his efforts in directing the H. H. S. hoopsters through this very successful season. mi .av . nu-M, Seated-Ronald Holland, George Mark, Kim Burket, Robert Rudy, Ronald Eichelberger, Rodney Ritchey Stephen McCoy.

Knepp collected 17 points for Chief Logan. Huntingdon suffered the f1rst loss ofthe sea- son to State College by a 54-53 score. lt was a thrilling game from start to finish. The H. H. S. cagers hit an amazing 60 per cent cf their shots the first half but failed to pull ahead at the buzzer. Rinker was the pace setter with 18 points, Drolsbaugh hit for 15 points, and Bush gathered 12 points.

Huntingdon High again encountered the Hornets of Juniata Valley. This time the Bear- cats handed the Hornets a 7-4 defeat. Zauzig, the workhorse for the 'Cats, again went the dis- tance, striking out nine men and issuing no walks. Rinker chipped in with two hits and scored two runs to aid the Bearcat cause. This win gave the 'Cats a 4-3 over-all log and a 3-3 County record. The Bearcats played a game with the Cap- tain Jack Trojans that decided which team would play the County League Championship.

Q90 .1 'lf 5 nft f GIRLS' GYM During the past school term, the girls' phy- sical education ciasses enioyed greatly the par- ticipation in numerous activities that included soccer, volleyball, basketball, tumbling, calis- thenics, apparatus work, rhythmics, and small games. The girls were very ably supervised by their new instructor, Mrs. Mary Barley, who came to Huntingdon from Tyrone High School. Before actually engaging in the various sports, it was necessary for the individual player to learn the official rules of the games, as well as all safety precautions. Throughout the year, although there were no intramural games played, interclass teams were organized and competed against each other. BOYS' GYM The physical education department of Hun- tingdon High School offers a diversified and well- rounded outlet for the ever-present energy found in the boys of this school. This past year, under the supervision of Mr. Weaver, the boys worked out on various equipment and engaged in other activities such as basketball, softball, volleyball, and calisthenics. All these exercises helped de- velop our rnuscles and improve our coordination. During the freshman and iunior years, we spent part of our time in classroom work learning First Aid and the principal facts of health. Gym class was thoroughly enioyed by one and all, and was one of the most popular periods on any student's schedule. Nancy Gibboney, senior Nancy Beaver, senior This year the cheerleaders ot H.H.S. were very ably supervised by Mrs. Barley. Our energetic squad played an active part at pep meetings, rallies, ball games, and parades. For the first time these girls had the privilege of attending the Shippensburg Cheerleading Clinic. Here they learned many ot the snappy new cheers and mo- tions that have become so popular with the student body. So, at the close ot the school year, we salute them for a job well done, Row I-Nancy Beaver, Nancy Gibboney. Row 2-Cynthia Hawkins, Carol Bush.
