Eager to assume upper class duties, the class of 54 has finally reached the goal of official membership in Irwin High School. What a class this is! It has always been loyal, full of rivalry and possesses a school spirit unequalled by any other group. Any school function found them attending in force. Their big event, the traditional Hall- owe'en Party in which they joined the sev- enth and eighth grades, was a huge success. Later in the year the Freshman-Sophomore Party was made lively by square dancing. Starting early to develop their dramatic talents, several members of this class pre- sented a humorous play Be My Valentine, which was appreciated by everyone. In the cast were Carole Rainey, Nancy Benninger, Joanne John, Bill Wolf, Harold Johnson, Bill Stubbs, Barbara Bergad, Joyce Williams, and Dan Creighton. Outstanding in scholarship were Nancy Kooser, Carole Ann Rainey, Edward Siegel and Marlene Gordon. Bill Stubbs was discovered to be a great little speech maker at the Student Congress in Monessen. Being an outstanding singer, Eddie Siegel was one of the few freshmen to be selected for County Chorus. On the junior varsity basketball team was Gerald Gongaware and on junior high were Jay McFarland, Edward Siegel, Louis Dalessandro, and Paul Vasquez. These boys were urged on to good scoring by cheer- leaders Marlene Gordon, Ann McElfresh, Joyce Williams, and Nancy Benninger. Having a reputation for impishness carried over from last year, the freshmen have grown up this year, but are still well organized in delaying action, a method of geting a teacher off the subject. They will never forget the imcessant chatter of Nick and Carole and the sprawling legs of Stacy and Gerald. As a group they were well liked for their good sportsmanship and en- thusiasm. However, Mr. Shirley will pro- bably give a big sigh of relief when they be- come sophomores. Looking forward, we know that this group of H-Bombs will con- tinue to develop its many talents and be a credit to the school and the community. 24 Mr. Shirley, J. Williams, R. McFarland G.
