In these four years we have had our ups and downs but in most cases we came out on top. ln this 1953 Colophon, we have tried to put the life of the students into print and pictures, and I hope that our aim has been achieved. Like the seniors before us, we say the days spent at Hurst have passed all too quickly. As we leave our Alma Mater, we wish we could turn back the hands of time and become freshmen once again, but this world of ours, as never before in history, needs young men and women with true and steady hearts and minds. Sadly, we, the class of '53, will tip our hats and take our bows and last but not least we will thank the administration and faculty for helping us through the best years of our lives. We will now leave our place here at Hurst High School to the future classes of our Alma Mater and we, the class of '53, will go out into the world and do our bit in bringing about a world of peace and unity for all mankind.

Seven citizens interested in the educa- tional needs of the community comprise the High School Board of Education. The Board members are elected by the voters of the Township and meet on the second Monday of every month. In planning for our edu- cational needs the School Board is a vital factor, although at times it is not fully ap- preciated or given full recognition for its many services and numerous accomplish- ments. This representative group of Mount Pleasant Township is confronted with many problems which concern our educational welfare. They have contributed their knowledge, experience, and service in solv- ing these problems and have shouldered our educational responsibilities. In per- forming its many duties and obligations the Board attempts to perform them in such a 8 way as to please everyone although at times this is rather difficult. The Board is one of the most important civic organizations in the community. Through its efforts our needs and wants have been fulfilled and our high standards of education have been maintained. The many activities and benefits we enjoy as students of Hurst High School are the result of the earnest endeavors of these directors. The real reward of the Board is not mone- tary remuneration, their reward is the satis- faction of helping to provide the best pos- sible educational program and facilities for the youth of their community. We, the Class of 1953, wish to express our qratitude to the Board of Education, which has provided for us an adequate and a well-rounded education. nperinfemzlenf You, the members of the Senior Class, will soon be graduated from your high school. Up to the present time, your life has been somewhat sheltered. Soon you will be engaged in different activities: the service, industry, or enrolled in higher institutions of learning. Questions involv- ing moral, social, and mental problems will con- front you. It will be necessary to make decisions, to do some serious thinking. Thoughts and ideas put into action give direction to the individual's life. What you think, that which crystallizes into action, will decide the direction of your life. The fact may be somewhat sobering, but what you become will be largely the result of your acts, your decisions. I hope your decisions will be for the best. L. F. Ru mbaugh rinciyoa In this message to the graduates of the class of '53, I would like to suggest that you do some straight thinking about your future. There is no word, symbol or formula by which the suc- cess of people can be predicted. In selecting a career think straight and ask yourself if you have a life plan. You have completed your for- mal education which has given you the know- how, the information, facts, figures, and all other materials of our civilization from which you have developed skills, both manual and mental. This culture and these skills you will use in earning a living. The most important factor in your suc- cess will be determined by the human element. This human element is most unpredictable, and wh-ether you succeed or fail will be determined largely by weaknesses in your human relations with other people. Adopt a life plan-somethinq that you like to do and something that you do the best. STRAIGHT THINKING will bring you happiness and inner peace. Wm. D. Mullin acugfg MISS FISHER-Teacher of P. O.

Our iun- ior year in high school introduced us to many ac- tivities which we never knew as underclassmen. Many people said that our play The Man Who Came to Dinner was the best play that has ever been presented by a iunior class in Hurst High School. With the proceeds from the play and from selling jerseys and beanies, we set forth to have one of the best Proms ever held at Hurst. In February we received our class rings. We had waited eleven years for these trinkets, but some soon adorned the fingers of students other than those of the owner. As a class we had our ups and downs but we usually came out on top. We had a good time this year giving instructions to those green 'freshies and razzing the sophomores about being underclassmen. The Class of '54 would like to wish the Class of '53 all the success and happiness that can be bestowed on them. Filling your shoes will be rather difficult but we will try, to the best of our ability to carry on as you have. Lots of luck to you.

Being initiated into the schools usual custom and being dubbed the name freshie we received a dark view of our four years ahead. This first impression was gradu- ally changed as we began to make new friends by ioining clubs, and entering school activities as a group with the upper-classmen. As we got accustomed to the new life, the weeks seemed to fly. First the football season, then the class plays and then, lust as we were beginning to get the routine down pat, the summer vacation was here. This passed as if it were a few days. Then we were sophomores, this was our greatest achieve- ment thus far. We had weathered the storm and were ready for smooth sailing, so we thought, but it turned out almost the opposite, and al- though we are enioying this year more than any other, we are looking forward to our next year at Hurst. But no matter how bad it may seem to be, we will always make the best of it and hope for a brighter tomorrow. 37 GROUP I Rowl Heffelfinger, R., Frund, G., All: son, G., Billey, R., Pyda, F., Kos- telnik, J., Yanucll, S.

A., the farmers of the future, is under the supervision of Mr. Simon. This year has proved to be a very active year for our F. F. A. The officers of the club this year were President, John Cadzow, Vice-President, Edward Hunt, Secretary, Dick Miller, Treasurer, Harry Carey. These boys are the young men who strive to keep our agricultural standards high in Amer- ica in the years to come. Toward the end of January the F. F. A. took a trip to Harrisburg for the annual farm show which proved to be very educational to the boys. During the year, we see many exhibitions of their skills. The one that we recall the best was their sale of delicious Bar B. Q.'s at lunch time. Another highlight of the F. F. A. is a banquet given in honor of the boys' fathers. A banquet is also held for the new freshmen members. So you can truly see why the F. F. A. is a worthy organization. We can see by their past records that these boys have been doing a fine iob and we are certainly proud of their achievements and hope they can main- tain similar records in the future. .ynchaafriaf .Aria The Industrial Arts is a club consisting of all those boys, who are interested in learning the usage of practical tools. The very able instruc- tor of this vocational course is Mr. Christner. The first year students are not permitted to use all tools but they are at liberty to use the iigsaw and wood lathes. The tools which are used by the other Industrial Art boys, are circular saws, hand saws, wood and metal lathes, sanders, and a drill press. As a result, from these many tools, the boys are taught to make many useful things from wood and metal. These boys are also per- mitted to make whatever they wish. Some of the work done by these boys is excellent. Some pieces of furniture made by these boys are really neat. The boys are all taught the use of every piece of machinery. By learning the different uses of this machinery, the boys are more apt to get a better iob when they leave high school and go out on their own. The Industrial Arts Depart- ment, like the Agricultural Department, is down at the Norvelt building. The officers for the past year were president, Donald Funk, vice-presi- dent, Mike Rady, secretary, Wayne Miller, treas- urer, Bob Shebeck.

The spirited Hurst High School Band com- posed of approximately ninety-six members, marched in ranks and presented an excellent per- formance at each and every game. Dressed in brilliant scarlet and white uniforms, they were an organization Hurst could well be proud of.

These am- bitious gals held evening practices with Mr. Dundor, an experienced baton twirler, a month before school began. They were taught a modulation of routines and aimed to perfect them. Finally our football season began and our strutting ma- iorettes led the Hurst High School marching band down the football field. Their entrance brings forth a tremendous applause from those seated in the grand- stands. A breath-taking feat during the season was a baton twirling act, with the use of blazing fire batons. At all football games, in all kinds of weather, our prancing maiorettes always show their extraordinary talent. 5165, Le Rowl Wison, M., Gehemy, J., Craig, M., Firmsione, M., Jankowsky, D., Polcha, D., Depto, N., Trice, J., Gaul, N., Smail, A., Brown, Chicka, J.

It needed a whole new backfield and a few good linemen to replace the graduated ones. It is a privilege to say that the boys have responded tremendously to this effect. Football practice began on August 18, and continued through- out the season. The boys had little hopes of winning this year, due to the lack of training and experience, but with the splendid work on the part of the three coaches, Mr. Hart, head coach, Mr. Mihalic and Mr. Gorinski, assistant coaches, they had a very good season. The football squad started the season off with a bang , by winning the first three games. Although the next game was with Greensburg, which is classified as a A-A school, there were hopes that the Hurst Eleven could win over them. They lost but only by a 7-0 margin and it was considered one of the Hurricanes best played games of the season. Even though the loss to Greensburg was shock, the boys dicln't lose their good spirit and courage, and as a result, they were able to win the next four games. The Hurst Hurricanes were now in the running for the Class A, W.P.l.A.L. and of course, this was quite an honor. Staying in the W.P.l.A.L. might have climaxed a very fruitful season, but the Hurricanes were de- feated by the Ramsay rivals T3 to 7. Hurst lost the last game also but all in all it was a very good season, for the players as well as the fans. A few of the players received scholarships to different colleges due to their athletic abilities. There is no doubt that every- one will remember the fighting Hurricanes of '52. 1 Q-l W 4?

The boys are all hard workers and spent many long hours at practice both before and during the season, but they never complained. Now their hard work has been rewarded because the season's record shows seventeen victories and only four defeats-enough to finish first in Section X of the WPIAL. They also participated in the County Tournament at Greensburg and no loyal fan will ever forget the excitement of the Vandergrift game which we won by the huge margin of two points in an overtime, and also the easy victory when we defeated Jeannette in a real thriller by one point. Although the season was very successful no one except Mr. Nock and the players will ever know the actual heartbreak that was felt when the team was defeated by Greensburg in the county tournament and by Monaca in the first round of the WPIAL playoffs at the Pitt fieldhouse. The first team was composed of five equally good hoopsters which included Misiak, Lipko, Mullin, Resnik, and Malesky while Yurik, Bielecki, and Spinella can not be overlooked. These boys along with Mr. Nock and the Junior Varsity are to be congratulated for their excellent record. Since there are three memb-ers of the Junior class on the Varsity and several of them on the Junior Varsity the outlook for next year is xfery bi-ight. 68 --...gx - i --NB..

The i952 edition of the Hurst High School Baseball Team won its eleventh sectional W.P.I.A.L. title in thirteen attempts. After fourteen straight victories, the only defeat was suffered at the hands of McKees- port High School by the score of two to one in the Western Pennsylvania Semi-Final game played at Munhall. Immediately after the game, Johnny Patula was signed to a bonus contract with the Boston Red Sox, and Bobby Forys received a full scholarship from the University of Virginia. Other seniors who performed nobly were Paul Kozusko, Robert Holoman, Mike Miscik, Bill Rosky, and Bill Hoover. Returning to form a fine nucleus for the 1953 squad are the fol- lowing lettermen: Seniors: Bill Misiak, Russell Smith, Mike Rody, and Richard Yurick. Juniors: Bob Resnik, John Rakaczky, and Leonard Pavick. Sophomore: Ray Holoman. Other returnees of whom much is expected are-Kenneth Shaw, Bill Mullin, Richard Biller, Bill Grabiak, William Dunn, Donald Stahl, James Knapp, and Bobby Miller. We feel reasonably certain that these boys will uphold the splendid tradition of winning baseball at Hurst in fine style. 70 T QQTCH A BALL 2 nv XJ S 3 ORIG Odffmm Senior Leonard Pu Senior Kenna Senior Richa CAQZPLQJQP5 Our cheerleaders play an important role in the athletic activities at Hurst. Faithfully they cheer our football squad on to victory during football season, and also our basketball team. They attended every football game. Theresa Burns-Terry, a senior regrets leaving H.H.S. She traveled to Hurst from Latrobe her senior year, a very popular miss with everyone. She enjoyed the energetic life she led as a cheerleader. Andrew Blosky- Bud always got a laugh, anywhere at anytime. Bud was head cheerleader this year. Was known for his Alabama Shake lt. Donna Aultman-Being very small didn't stop Donna from cheering, She is a senior and a cheerleader for three years, as well, she enioyed every minute of it. Robert Bums-Always there when you need him, that's Bob , a cheerleader for two years. He would like to keep cheering, but will be awfully glad to get that diploma. Snmual Hixson- Sam is a iunior who is known and liked by all. He hails from Brinkerton and next year will take over as head cheerleader. Florine Pyda- Flo resides at Standard and is the third of the newly chosen cheerleaders. She especially enioyed foot- ball games and that certain player. Richard Albright-Chosen this year, Dick helped lead our team to victory. He lives at Calumet and claims it to be the best place on the map. Louise Williams-The shortest of the short describes Louise. She has completed one year of cheering now and says she enioys it very much. 0lWL8COWLLl'Lg DLQQVL On October 24 the annual Home- coming Day was held at Hurst. ln a special assembly William Misiak and William Dunn, football captains, crowned Evelyn Mondock as the Homecoming Queen of 1952. Evelyn was attended by Patricia Ewing and Jacqueline Stinebiser. Edmund Davis, senior class presi- dent, made the introductory remarks. Then, the queen and her attendants were escorted to the stage by the maiorettes. As a lasting tribute to all the alumni, the student body sang, Auld Lang Syne directed by Mr. Somers. During the half at the Hurst versus Derry game, Queen Evelyn and her attendants were chauFFered around the field followed by the band. As a final event of the Homecom- ing Celebration, the senior class sponsored a record dance following the game in the Hurst gymnasium. 3? f A gg , A Q . 1- .- gg, - 5 A ii gf - X .N Q V- .
