THE ROAD UPENS UP Each one of us has frequently passed the Irwin terminus of the Pennsylvania Turnpike. Most of us have entered this interchange to travel over the smooth straight-away of this highway. Likewise, we all have traversed, or are traversing the clear, unbroken road of education. Irwin was chosen as the western terminus of the first portion of this Super Highway. Because of this our community has become important on the map. Every road, whether traiiic or educational, is marked with warn- ings. You observe signs along the way, warnings of curves, orders to keep to the right, and reminders of the speed limit. In school we are taught the responsibilities and rules of life. Our administration and fac- ulty do this in classrooms and by per- sonal counseling. One of the most Q-:lima-tMMu OR US AS WE WIND OUR WAY ALONG IT miraculous feats of the turnpike is the seven tunnels. Irwin High has three such tunnels, important but in- tangible. First is the personalities tunnel, which introduces us to the faculty and student body. Second is the social, opening for us the clubs and extra-curricular activities. The third tunnel, the physical, is equally important for it leads us to healthful, well-balanced lives. Searching for a theme for the 1949 Carillon we discovered a magazine picturing a portion of Pennsylvania's Dream Highwayn fading into the hazy distance. We seniors of Irwin High School feel that as the Turn- pike widened the commercial develop- ment of the community, so has our alma mater broadened our lives and enabled us to move forward on the highway of life.

Our forebears have built well and each generation has im- proved the road. It has been broad- ened educationally to the point that it can serve most demands. Its flexi- bility in course organization, and the curriculum in general, can take care of the slower trafiic as well as the faster streamlined demands. Encour- agement through guidance and very apparent objectives make for more enjoyable scenic experiences educa- tionally. As a school senses its re- sponsibility for the all-around growth and development of the youth of its community, road refinements become absolutely necessary. They are the service stations along the road. It is a basic social principle that there is a place in a really democratic Board of Education society for every young person, but to fill that place well his abilities should be as fully developed as pos- sible through appropriate education. This involves a maze of highways, but fortunately we have them through the sacrifice of our parents and so- ciety in general. In addition they are being improved constantly. How far along this Super Highway will you go? You have now reached the first service station. Will you continue to the terminus of this great Educational Super Highway, or are you content with your experiences to date? The adventures of the remaining portion of the highway are wonderful and exciting. We hope you might finish the trip. Not necessarily the college adventure, but some addi- tional pleasant miles which will bring a type of skill, training, or prepara- tion that will help insure a happy life. This is our wish for the Class of 1949. cd MRS. ROMAYNE BUCKLEY Secretary MR. JAMES DUDLEY Assistant Principal Let's talk it ovei onli ., f EM ................ BETSY CASON Yes, those delicious odors that filled the halls came from the Home Ec. Room. Un- der Miss Cason's direction the girls made many lovely clothes. Precision prevailed in all her classes. MURIEL GALLAGHER An extensive traveler, Miss Gallagher possesses a wealth of interesting' expeci- ences. In relating' those incidents to her language students, she helped make her classes live. ELIZABETH GRII-'FITHs HI can expect that of the Seniors was Miss Griffith's favorite answer to her com- mercial students. A joke always put her in a good -humor. WINII-'RED HAMILTON Mrs. Hamilton was enthusiastically in- terested in libraries, school and community. Her informal Way of teaching will be re- membered by her history students and library classes. aculfml . . . Guides of ou out th JAMEs BALOG Mr. Balogds unique way of calling' his boys' shop classes to order was shouting Attention girls. It worked, he claimed. Under his direction these boys proved to be fine craftsmen. GEORGE BOWERS With a joke and a grin, Mr. Bowers added hilarity to his chemistry classes. His personal interest in all the students in- creased his popularity too. EDITII BowERs Always ready with a remedy, Mrs. Bowers' pleasing, efficient personal qualities were appreciated by all. Girls looked for- ward to her health classes because of their helpful discussions. MARIE CARROLL Une of our best community I'elations teachers, Miss Carroll willingly directed students who performed for many town ac- tivities. Those Who met her were impressed by her serenity. ourse who pointed oteworthy things MADELINE HEIISIIEY Senior class adviser, Miss Hershey acted as moderator for our debates, whether in class or out. Her grand sense of humor withstood many a ribbing. AGNES JONES Her whole-hearted interest in the stu- dents made Miss Jones an excellent coun- selor. Although school responsibilities oc- cupied much of her time, she found many spare moments to devote to church work. MoNA Ko3AsA The newest addition to our faculty was dependable Miss Kobasa. Being able to see things as the students make her a favor- ite with typing students and forensic mem- bers. JosEPu MCMUNN Math and geography were his subjects, but Mr. McMunn's conversations centered around his singing daughter, basketball, and his dog. Completing his new home keep him busy in his spare time. DONALD ROSE A familiar sight around the gym and playground was Mr. Rose with his keys, giving out or collecting equipment. Basket- ball and baby girls were his true loves. CHARLES SHIRLEY Mr. Shirley's tales of hunting trips and outdoor experiences fascinated the fellows. He often was heard promoting wildlife con- servation in his biology classes, sometimes in civics too. JANE STAUFFER Exacting, but possessing a keen sense of humor, art was Mrs. Stauffer's specialty. She also taught several English classes. She obtained her master's in geography at Pitt in the spring. MARY WILEY No one ever thought of the junior high without Miss Wiley. An ardent church- worker, fairness was her creed, notably in her English and history classes. aculfil Hi-liglzfs . . . Time out . . . they still talked. Out of curiosity, one noon hour, our cameraman dropped in to see just what teachers do in their lunch time. To his amazement he found that teachers are very human people. They like to chatter as they eat. Sensing his surprise, they permitted him to take their pictures. We were amazed too, so in order to tell you about his revelation, we decided to use these pictures here. Words, we felt, would never convince you with- out pictures to prove them. If you are one of those people who believe pictures can be deceiving, visit a few of these places after 12:12 someday.

And how we spent the year making new friends and working to- gether? It was quite different when we were Sophomores for there were just thirty-seven of us in the new Irwin High School. The thrills of having a state championship basket- ball team, the victory dance and snake-parade-how wonderful these all were! Can you ever forget Dave and how frantically hard he worked to put over the Junior Farm Frolic, even to the extent of advertising with white- wash? The day We got our class rings, do you remember the size of Chise's? It fit Betty Lou as a brace- let. Again, we were state champs. Our trip to Lancaster made it all the more wonderful. Never was there so much food consumed on one trip. SALLY JENNINGS HERSHEY 46499-ersw had a rugged road 13 Then came the Middle States evalua- tion. What angels we were, or have you forgotten? We thought our Prom the most exciting formal ever held' and to us, or course, it was. Will that feeling of being Seniors ever fade from our memories? Those lively discussions we all had with. Miss Hershey in Room 17-every subject from marriage to politics. Saying goodbye to everyone on Class Day, getting our yearbooks, Bacca- laureate, and Commencement exer- cises-our biggest thrills as seniors we'll never forget. Although eager to face the world, we were reluctant to leave our alma mater. Other events- will crowd our future years, but these memories of school friends and teachers, 'of work and play 'at Irwin High will ever remain' vivid. in our minds. :Rive 12' ii 7-be N249 geniofzs . .

BOWERS Observed the speed limit. and took the curves carefully The Junior Class of 1949 should be referred to as the Jolly Juniors of Irwin High. This happy-go-lucky class assumed the duties of upper classmen, a little bewildered at first, but soon proved themselves capable. This year, the Juniors had their share of outstanding personalities. Those particularly high in scholastic ratings were Don Adams, Lurana Heid- breder, Dean Neiman, and Ethel Sandson. The class was represented by some of its members in all the school's organizations. Lee Allshouse, Dean Neiman, Paul Simpson, and Albert Viziola played Varsity basket- ball. On the Junior Varsity were Jack Clarke, and George Lewis. Many of the boys joined the Hi-Y group. A large number of junior girls were admitted into the Tri-Hi- Y. Others of the class joined the. F.H.A., Commercial Club, Camera Club, some played in the band or sang in some musical group. When their uniforms were donned, Lois Montrose, cheerleader, and Dolores Ray, majorette, proudly displayed their school's colors and increased its spirit. The need of funds led the class to sponsor socials and sell Christmas decorations. Their efforts resulted in a memorable Prom. Another year remains at Irwin High for this class and with the enthusiasm and school spirit shown in the past year, it prom- ises to be a successful one. Fncsr Row: David Temple, Don Adams.

Their first event of the year was the Freshman-Sopho- more party at which everyone en- joyed games, grab bags, dancing and an entertainment provided by their talented students. The class has been outstanding in all fields. The Varsity squad claimed Nobi Ackermann and Nick Gelis. Members of the Junior Varsity included Carl Davis, Eddie Jennings, and Maynard Kemerer. They were spurred on by the J ay-Vee cheerleaders, Catherine Beter, Shir- ley Epley, Dorothy Jones, Martha Koury, and Norma Lender. Active participants in club Work and music organizations, the orchestra and string quartet boasted two sopho- mores, Nobi Ackermann, violinist and Bob Wolfe, cellist. Ann Schnur sang alto with the Triple Trio. Many of this class also sang with the glee club, girls chorus, and played With the band and Jazz band. Their ver- satility Was proven by the interest they took in Forensics, Camera and Commercial Clubs. The honor roll stu- dents were David Barnard, Evanna Heidbreder, and Carla Norberg. By their past record it is evident that if this class keeps up the record they have made, a bright future is in store for them. The Efieshman Glass OFFICERS President ,.... . . .

They Went industriously to work, earning a reputation for themselves in all ac- tivities. Under their officers' direc- tion, plans for the HalloWe'en Party were carried out with our Freshmen making merry in a traditionally decorated gym. This lively class' next social event was the Freshmen- Sophomore Party later in the year. The high school's music groups, bands, and Forensic organizations have drawn many from the Freshmen group. A number of sports minded Frosh carried on in true Irwin spirit on the Junior High Basketball Team. These included Eddie An- thony, Allen Berk, Eddie Brown, Bill Carlson, Marvin Jackson, Bob Rich- ards and Bob Unrue, with Tommy Parker as manager. On the Junior Varsity they had Arthur Youngstead. Outstanding in scholarship were Allen Berk, June Christman, Dolores Fer- ence and Gloria Staymates. With these achievements behind them these Freshmen can feel their first year in high school Was a commendable one and though this is just the beginning we are confident that they will make excellent upper classmen.

These live wire Eighth Graders made the halls ring with their banging, clanging locker doors and incessant chatter. Nevertheless they very definitely proved the fact that they were capable and willing to shoulder their duties in the years ahead. Eighth Graders were found offering their services to many of the school's organizations. They were seen among the band and other musical groups. The fellows in the class were both football and basket- ball minded. The Golden Tornadoes rated tops with them and not to be forgotten are the Eighth Grade boys who helped make a name for the Junior High Basketball Team by taking second place in their section play. These boys were Gerald Gon- gaware, Jay McFarland, and Eddie Siegel. Their cheerleaders, Nancy Benninger, Marlene Gordon, and Ann McElfresh, were the backbone of their cheering section. Two girls shared scholastic honors in the Eighth Grade this year. They were Marlene Gordon and Nancy Kooser. Socially the Eighth Graders carried on their activities with equal enthus- iasm. They sponsored a class party, attended the Junior High Hallowe'en Party and supported all the school socials. They also were loyal rooters for the Varsity's basketball games. Irwin High can look forward to a greater future with this group's en- trance into the Freshman Class next fall. 7-lze gevenflr qfzade OFFICERS President ...4.4..A,..,.

Their enrollment was greatly in- creased by the addition of Penglyn students who added even more zest to the group. Recognition must be granted to those who maintained high scholastic grades. These were Janice Cooley, Mona Lee George, Lar- ry Milburn, Colin Norberg, Charles Patton, Jean Sam, and George Schade. Another all-around sports-minded class, both boys and girls, partici- pated in intramurals. Larry Milburn Was manager of the Junior High School Basketball Team, and players on the same team Were Bill Cum- mings and John Waugaman. They have helped to keep the squad in the sports limelight. Whenever the team played, Mona Lee George could be seen assisting the Junior High Cheer- leaders. The Golden Tornadoes Foot- ball Team also attracted members from this active class. Various school musical organiza- tions and clubs will go forward to an even more satisfactory future with many enrolled in their ranks from this group. School socials were well supported throughout the year by these students. You can be assured that this class will assume their re- sponsibilities next year vvith en- thusiasm.

This was the responsibility of this student govern- ing body, to discuss and make the de- cisions which effected the students and to supervise student activities. At Mr. Clawson's call, the ofiicers of the classes and clubs in the senior high met in the early fall to organize Student Council. The duties of organization were reviewed by the the Mr. Clawson, and a brief outline of problems to be confronted was the presented. At this meeting the ofli- cers for the year were elected. Fol- lowing suit, Mr. Dudley called the officers in the junior high together to organize their group. Because of the similarity of problems that this group and the senior council had, it was decided that they meet together. Before basketball season the Stu- dent Council assembled to select cheerleaders. The number of cheer- leaders was decided upon and after tryouts were held two girls were chosen to join the three cheerleaders from last year to form the Varsity Five. Also six J ay-Vee cheerleaders were selected. The problem of finan- cing the Carillon was brought before the council. A discussion followed, the members took the ideas to their various organizations, and another meeting was held. Action was taken and it was decided that each club in the school contribute as they could to help pay for the yearbook. These are just two examples of how this organ- ization functioned. The Student Council is in its first stage of becoming a working force in our school curriculum. Experience is needed by its members to make its social and assembly committees more eHicient. Nevertheless, we can be proud of these students and their de- mocratic way of handling school prob- lems. Officers for the year were as fol- lows: President, Clay Stahl, Vice President, Dean Neimang Secretary, Dolores Heighes. 32 Tai-Hi-17' Thought 'of the rights of others Every Monday after school a group of girls gathered in Room 15 for a meeting of the Tri-Hi-Y. There, after a brief devotional meeting the members had programs and formu- lated many of the worthy projects which they carried out during the year. The service committee, led by chairman Norma I-Iasselberg guided these projects such as making favors for the children's home at Thanks- giving, a clothing drive for the un- derprivileged people of Europe, raised ten dollars to send to Care, and collected candles for Europeans who have no other means of lighting. The program committee with Bar- bara Millen as chairman made the meetings as varied as possible. Speakers were obtained, song fests Were held, charades, and special pro- grams Were put on by the members. Lindy Ackermann was chairman of the social committee which planned a swimming party, the Twerp Dance in February, and the induction cere- mony. The devotional committee with Shirley Mackey as chairman handled the devotional exercises of the meetings. Patricia Plues as chairman of the financial committee, Was heard at the meeting reminding the girls to pay their dues. They also made money by holding several successful dances. The girls con- cluded another year of Tri-Hi-Y ac- tivities by entertaining their mothers at a tea at which the officers for the next year were inducted.

The high stan- dard of conduct and principle en- acted by these boys made them ad- mired by the entire school. At the beginning of the year the old members put the new members through three days of initiation an- tics to the amusement of the whole student body. The initiation was fol- lowed by an induction at which eight junior boys were admitted. Carrying out the true Christmas spirit, the boys voted a donation to the Westmoreland Children's Aid So- ciety. Another of their worthy proj- ects was to help prepare the public library for use by removing plaster from the walls of the newly pur- chased building. 3 Realizing that the development of the body is as important as the de- velopment of the mind and spirit, the boys enjoyed a number of game nights which were held in the gym. They also played several basketball games with the North Huntingdon Hi-Y boys. To increase their funds in the treasury, the club sponsored socials. In February the club members bought Hi-Y emblems and some bought red sweaters too. These the boys wore proudly. The officers for the year were as follows: President, Clay Stahlg Vice President, Peter Naumanng Secre- tary, Dante Bertanig Treasurer, Ned McElfreshg Faculty Adviser, Mr. Bowers.

'f. H. CZ. Contributed many comforts to Weary travellers Early this year the girls who were interested in forming a home eco- nomics club met with Miss Cason to reorganize the Future Homemakers of America. These girls wanted to learn more about homemaking than the fundamentals taught in their home economic classes. They held their meetings once a month during which they planned and discussed future work. Throughout the year these girls did handiwork such as knitting socks and embroidering bedroom sets, making of plaster of Paris decorating pins, and they also undertook some weav- ing. At Easter the club filled a bas- ket and sent it to one of the needy families in the Irwin vicinity. In May these home economic students held the Annual County Style Show here at Irwin. This special event was attended by many of the schools in Westmoreland County.

In October, the club held a Hallowe'en Party. The main event of the evening was a scav- enger hunt. After the hunt, the group reassembled in a gayly decora- ted room two for refreshments and dancing. Maintaining the purpose of the club the senior girls presented a pro- gram to the rest of the members, showing them the types of clothing that should be worn in an office. They also demonstrated office man- ners and correct behavior procedures used in the business world. These same senior girls practiced the meth- ods they had learned by working in the school office as secretary to Mr. Clawson. In doing this they discov- ered the real value of their office training. Many of the Commercial Club members had jobs in the com- munity. These jobs acquainted them with the ways of the business world and the proper etiquette used in deal- ing with people. Problems confronted in these jobs were discussed in the club's meetings. Later in the spring the group de- cided to complete their year's activi- ties by another social affair. A pic- nic was held out-of-doors, and the members agreed it was an enjoyable and fitting way to finish a successful year. Officers for the year were as fol- lows: President, Nick Gelisg Vice President, Dorothy Allan, Secretary, Mary Lou Huntg Treasurer, Albert Viziola.

This group of selected girls represented the school on occasions when only a small group was Wanted. Their numerous appearances in the com- munity gained for them a praise- Worthy reputation of which We can be proud. These girls were the nucleus for the formation of the Glee Club, which was organized at the beginning of the second semester. It included the boys of the school who were inter- ested in singing. Many people were pleased to hear the volume and deep tones of these boys combined with the girls' higher, clearer qualities when they appeared at Commence- ment exercises. Jerry Flanigan was selected to sing with the Westmore- land All-County Chorus held at Hurst High School in February. Carl Dean Davis Was elected president for the year.

Qifzls Gliotuses Harmonized on happy occasions No one minded the musical notes that drifted through the halls during the first period every Thursday morn- ing. Class work was much easier when listening to the music created by these thirty-five girls of our senior chorus. Both the senior and junior choruses entertained with several numbers at Open House and at Christmas assembly. The blue and gold robes that were received as part of the Norwin settlement were worn for the first time at the Christmas as- sembly.

Joanne Harrison, lrma Yates, Dolores Ray. When the strain of the Wash- ington Post March came floating through the building, you knew that the band was practicing in room two. Their hours of tireless practice paid off through the excellent perform- ances they made this year. They marched in the street fair celebra- tion held at Circleville in the fall, the Armistice Day Parade and on Decem- ber 18th they entertained shoppers by playing Christmas carols down- street. Perhaps the biggest event of the year for the band was their spring concert. The numbers played at this concert included marches, overtures, selections by the sextet, and several duet and solo numbers. The service rendered by this organi- zation to the school and community increased the respect and admiration for this talented body.

Gfzclaestfzas Softenied the rough spots with smooth melodies This year the orchestra continued to flourish under Miss Carroll's di- rection. The only major change was making Jerry Flanigan accompanist so that Miss Carroll could be free to do the directing. The orchestra con- sisted of ten pieces, two violins, one bass viol, one cello, one trumpet, one trombone, two clarinets, the drums, and the piano. They played for the annual Christmas operetta. Part of the group, the string quartet, played for many local groups. That section also participated in the Westmore- land County Orchestra. The jazz band had another success- ful season under Mr. James Weaver's direction. It included three saxa- phones, two trombones, two trum- pets, a bass, a piano, and two drums. This musical group played for a so- cial sponsored by the regular march- ing band. Vocalists for the jazz band were Margie Durnin and Joanne Loughner. It is hoped that this band will appear even oftener next year. FIRST ROW: Peter Naumann, Dean Neiman Wayne Brown, Edward Siegel, James Jacobs, Kenneth Lomicka.

During October and November the cast brought their lunches and work- ed under the direction of Miss Agnes Jones rehearsing Are You Mr. But- terworth ? , a successful comedy.

On December 22nd the music department presented the annual Christmas operetta under Miss Marie Carroll's direction. The play centered about Tina, a small girl portrayed by Gloria Staymates, who was stolen by the gypsies. She escaped only to be taken by a cruel lady, Norma Has- selberg, and put to work in a toyshop. Tina's father, the toymaker, once owned the shop, and after searching for her, returns to find her in his shop. Another important character was the oldest doll, Jane Schade. The senior play had a very typical name, Spring Fever . The action centered in a boarding house run by Barbara Millen. Jerry Flanigan, as Ed Burns, kept things popping with a few dynamite explosions scattered throughout the play. An aspiring ar- tist, Dante Bertani, even tied his models to a hat rack, which contrib- uted to the play's hilarity. The unsung heroes of these dra- matic productions were the stage crews, make-up and properties com- mittees. Credit must be given them, for without them these plays could not have been the success they were. f X ,w k Quill an gcfzoll Awarded the journalistic minded at the end of the road LINDY ACKERMANN Editorial Staf ...,,.. ,. ..,... ,Carillon JERRY FLANIGAN Editorial Staff ,......, . ,...,...

A new, smaller print was used this year, which ac- counted for the longer, varied arti- cles. The additional space permitted use of James Jacobs' talent as a pho- tographer. Many of his pictures ap- peared in the paper. Credit is due Dolores Heighes for her cleverly drawn cartoons. This year the paper won second place in its class in the Columbia Scholastic Press Contest and last year was awarded a silver certificate of honorable mention in the Quill and Scroll for photography. It is generally agreed that this is proof of the paper's improvements over its first issues. Through the year Business Man- ager David Tornblom and his staff concerned themselves with dollar signs and advertisers lists rather than copy sheets and glue pots. Dave's ideas for financing the paper provided adequate ways and means to do just that. One Friday each month the newsboys took time out, and spread the news . The work of these combined staffs had produced another year of Round-Ups which have pleased every one. The Gafullon Edited the memory book of the journey An unusual theme with which to cope and a specially designed cover by Crafto of Chicago challenged the Carillon staffs to make this year's book outstanding.

Kasketlmll Added up victories to a county championship Coach Donald Rose for the third consecutive season led the Irwin Knights to a victory, the winning of the County Tournament. Although the success of this yearis team may be overshadowed by the two preced- ing State Championship teams, the title County Champions, is never- the-less a coveted one. The Irwin cagers compiled a seasonal record of nineteen wins and eight losses. In the Section XVI race the Knights finished in second place by winning nine games while losing three. Irwin lost twice to the section winners, Der- ry Boro, in two thrilling but heart- breaking games. Both contests were lost by the same close score, 46-43, the game at Derry going into an over- time. The Knights other sectional loss came by way of an upset from Ligonier, 36-34. The rebounding and point-getting of Dean George, who was sidelined due to a foot injury, were greatly missed during this game. The highlight of this season, was of course, Irwin's bid for honors in the County Tournament. The Knights moved through the first four games, defeating Avonmore, Franklin Township, Youngwood, and South Huntingdon, with little difficulty Then followed the game long to be remembered in which Irwin again clashed with her bitter rival, Derry Boro, in the tourney finals. This third time proved to be a charm, for Irwin was victorious winning 47-44 in an overtime. Ronnie lVIowery and Dean George were honored by being select- ed for both the all-county and all- section teams. Bill Goras was placed on the second string all-county team.

He en- deavored to carry the fine traits of good sportsmanship, fair play, and cooperation learned by these boys in athletic competition into their school activities, and finally into all phases of their life. Heretofore the chief activity of the club was the staging of the Lettermen's Ball, but it Was decided by this year's Lettermen to discontinue this annual function. In- stead an informal dance was planned, which was held on the eighth of April, from 9:00 until 12:30. The prepa- rations for this dance were directed by the following chairmen and their committees: Dean George, Publicity, Ronnie Mowrey, Ticketsg Dave Torn- blom, Decorations, and Dean Nei- man, Orchestra. Music for the dance was furnished by the Lavelle Quartet. The Senior Lettermen who have played their last game for their alma mater are: Ronnie Mowery, Dean George, Bill Goras, and manager, Dave Tornblom. Inspired the teams and enthused the spectators It's no Wonder our basketball teams compiled such 'admirable rec- ords since they had these three groups of peppy cheerleaders to de- velop school spirit. When the four Junior High Cheerleaders dressed in gray and scarlet would perform the 1-2-3-4 cheer, the very spirits of the Junior High Team were spurred. The Junior Varsity Cheerladers were elected as substitutes for the Varsity and led the student body in cheers for the Jay-Vee Team. The biggest job of cheerleading fell to the Varsity Five. Their new uniforms and new motions added zest to their cheers and the team's spirit. JUNIOR HI Marlene Gordon, Mona Lee George, Anne McElfresh, Nancy Benninger.
