In spite of Mr. Shirley's detention book and Mr. Dudley's firm decisions, they were our friends. We will appreciate them even more as we look back on our high school days at Irwin. Our administration placed a new emphasis on scholarship this year. The honor roll was posted and published for all to see, and the National Honor Society was founded. How could we get along without Mrs. Buck- ley's pertinent answers to our hundreds of questions and those witty remarks she could call up at will? Mrs. Lomicka, assistant to Mrs. B. , was always helpful to us. No other public servants receive more ad- verse criticism and as little appreciation for their decisions as our school board. These men of industry gave freely of their time to try to better our educational program, and should be commended and assisted by everyone. MR.

Mrs. Patricia Schweppe, Miss Eleanore Bellone, Mrs. Betteiean Branthoover, Miss Pegge Miller. f.. . . ,,...v.. E. What a wonderful way to get educated! was the opinion of the sophomores bound for Buhl Planetarium. Student-teacher relations determine the kind of days each have. Each group has dis- tinct problems. Understanding is needed by everyone. Here are our teachers caught during free time. Pouringtcoffee for the girls in her new home is Miss Gallagher. She is held in high esteem, especially by academic seniors, who appreciate her broad knowledge of language. Holding her cup is our Miss Hershey, whose history classes have broadened our world outlook. The problems of the class of '57, the FTA, and Hot Rodders, have often raised her blood pressure. Next is Mrs. Stauffer who taught art. Super- vising the instruction of the lower grades re- quired much planning. She helped us with posters and decorations and gave many ideas to activity promoters. Mrs. Painter, smiling in anticipation, en- ioyed this coffee break. Advising the Saber and teaching English gave her opportunities to be of personal help to many students. Bridge during lunch hour was a favorite pastime of this foursome. Mrs. Schweppe, who taught English, left us in January to become county speech correctionist. Playing South is Miss Miller, who also mas- tered knitting this year. She headed our com- mercial department. The good iobs her girls received spoke well for their training. Leading the play is Mrs. Branthoover-be fore December, Miss Keracher. She taught girls physical education, square dancing and advised GAA, the Cheerleaders and Major- ettes. The sum of her overtime hours totaled many days. Miss Bellone plays North. Although rather new, she has made many friends by her gracious management of the home economics department. Her interest in all school activities has endeared her to everyone. 3 2 w if A ' l th D Marchand B Guy and C Willby Experience in cooking will help B.

Mrs. Bowers and Mrs. Silvis harmonizing is very entertaining. Mr. Markosky seems to be carried away by the music. He may be dreaming of moving into his new home. Teaching industrial arts was an asset to him in building it. Coaching the Junior Hi and J. V. basketball teams gives him a stake in Varsity successes. He went be- yond the call of duty many times in super- vising the scenery and props for plays and proms. Although nursing is her vocation, music is Mrs. Bowers' avocation. She takes pride in her Future Girls in White and Nurses Aides. Many graduate nurses have been inspired by her. This year, she headed the Polio Vaccine Cru- sade at Irwin. Music is Mrs. Silvis' specialty, and she spends many hours working with her students in various choral groups. Her hits this year were Christmas Fun in '9l and Oklahoma. Her talents as a conductor are evident in her finished productions. Pretending to be fascinated by the talent of the ladies is Mr. Hoover, the academic math, psychology, and POD teacher. Although he left us at semesters, we will always remem- Mr. Samuel Marsico, Mr. lyman Stough Mr Joseph McMunn, Mr. Henry Funk. ber him as the originator of our senior trip to New York and the spinner of many memor- able tales. This is a dandy, isn't it girls? l wish my son were a car dealer! was Mr. Bowers' com- ment on Mrs. Hamilton's new car. In his chem- istry classes Mr. Bowers followed the proced- ure exactly, and continually tapped a beaker for order. As guidance counselor he helped us select future vocations and colleges. Mrs. Hamilton sits proudly in her new car. She held dual responsibilities as librarian and Carillon adviser. To give to her students the advantages of a quiet and well-stocked library was her goal. Miss Wiley is chuckling at Mr. Bowers' com- ment. Junior high English classes and her pet project, the Jr. Red Cross, occupied her school hours. She is very active in service groups in school, church, and community. Completing the squad is Miss Jones, our solid geometry, trigonometry, and general math instructor. Besides these classes, she found time to direct the senior play and coun- sel the girls. She often thought it necessary to put up a severe front to get her classes on the ball.

He is all ready for a day in- structing boys' physical education. Teaching driver education to students and the public was his sideline. His '57 goal has been to coach our wrestling team to fame. Awaiting an opinion of last night's game is Mr. Stough, varsity basketball coach. When not planning strategy for his Knights, he taught freshman algebra and social studies. His tall, broad, and handsome appearance makes us proud wherever he represents us. Well-liked by all was our good-natured ath- letic director, Mr. McMunn. He liked to spend his spare moments discussing sports when not teaching geography and junior high math. Next in line is our new science and applied chemistry instructor, Mr. Funk. He is a mem- ber of the Jeannette Board of Education and recently left his job with Westinghouse to be- come a teacher at lrwin. Our teachers have played a major role in the best days of our lives , but, of course, we have been an important part of their lives, too, when we have learned what they have tried to teach us. What were the best days of their lives? College, raising their children, and teaching school, were among the replies to our questionnaires. To quote one teacher: I feel that l am contributing to the lives of others through teaching, and, there is no better way to find happiness than by giving. Another teacher made a very concise sum- mary: The best years of life are those in which we have something to anticipate and work for. That, really, is the whole of life. . . by our daily experiences These Landmark recordings add fun to the study- ing of history, decide R. Gross and C. Beech. Peace and quiet, hard to come by in this speedy world, were sought in the library.

We tried to get the most from our senior days Before we tell the story of our underclass- men we must answer questions about our sen- iors: What did we like? What will we remem- ber? What did we do?

Brosnahan, P. Durant, J. Durnin, P. Cummings Faced lite with a carefree attitude What is a iunior? A iunior is a sophomore plus many new ideas. He is an apprentice to future leadership. He has acquired a varying amount of poise which he uses when circum- stances demand. Sometimes it is hard to bal- ance the amount of work and play, but he always seems to manage. A iunior looks 'for- ward to being a senior and is very certain that he will carry out his duties well. Dick Malt, Eddie Smith, and Pat Dailey were newcomers. Jack Rain left the class to loin the Navy. Mary Lou McCune, Chuckie Weaver, and Dick Malt were iunior representatives to the Student Council. In the mock presidential election, a variety of talent was displayed. The Democratic team of Murray and Marchand were victors over Republicans Behler and Malt in the pri- maries. Hillbilly Chapas' platform speech, maiorettes Kuhns and Lomicka and Elvis Weaver brought down the house. The success of the basketball team can be partially attributed to juniors Ed Murray, Paul Hollis, and Reggie Davis. The class boasted of one Varsity Cheerleader, Barb Rainey, and tour JVs, Dee Chapas, Nancy Whalen, Peg Cummings, and Jean Schade. Maiorettes were Nancy Cook and Pat Durante. Some of their fondest memories include: frequent lectures by their teachers about their hidden talents, Alan Bel'1ler's rare sense of humor, Dwight Holderbaum's miniature H bomb explosion in chemistry class, Chizmar's zany signs. Assuming senior leadership will open a new world of responsibility which will chal- lenge all of their talents. W. Hillier, R. A. Grahm, R. Davis, C. Glun Hauber. On bench: D.

Thomas Conscientiously carried out their obligations Just what is a sophomore? A sophomore is wiser than a freshman yet not as important as a iunior. A sophomore is like a kitten, play- ful yet sharp. Jokes, parties, food, and the opposite sex are favorite pastimes. A soph- omore's personality is split between the earn- est desire to learn and the pleasure derived from foolishness. If neither characteristic out- weighs the other, the sophomore will develop well-rounded junior leadership qualities. Our Sophomores easily became a part of the senior high. Mrs. Painter, Miss Miller, and Mr. Funk supervised the homerooms of the largest class in our senior high. Because of its size, the sophomore class held the decisive vote in the mock presidential election. With the help of Mrs. Painter, class adviser, they held two parties with the Freshmen.

Eleven sophomores played JV basketball. Ed Mance and Jerry Jellison were the managers, while Janice Whalen and Janice Thomas cheered the squad. Bob Montrose made them proud by being a varsity star. Memories of their sophomore year include: the two Eagle Scouts, Schade and Senulis, the peculiar enjoyment derived from hiding classmates' belongings, the strange power that drew Bob Bryan to the library.

Kasparek, R. Kunkle Seriousness is a quality that will come with age What are freshmen? The boys begin broad- casting their extensive knowledge of cars and trying to impress the girls by hiding their purses and pulling their hair. The girls' feel- ings are characterized by constant giggling, chattering, and note-writing. Many of them have crushes on older boys and dream of go- ing steady. Freshmen love practical iokes, are enthusiastic about running any type of errand, know all the words to popular songs, idolize upperclassmen, and are capable of diligent study, although they have extreme difficulty in getting started. For an outlet to their energy, our Freshmen participated in various school activities. Pat Crabill, Kathy Sullivan, Fayette Wilhelm, Sandra Mack, Bonnie Anderson, and Wava Daniels composed the cheerleading squad. Tom Shrump had the honor of being the only Freshman onthe first string JV basketball team and of being a sub on Varsity in the county tournaments. Combining their etcforts on Jun- ior High basketball team were: Jim Hook, Butch Yenerall, Fred Jones, Bob Schade, Bill Johnston, and Dave Parry. Incoming and outgoing students were Joan Vacerelli, Michael Fleming, and Jo Ann Rymer. Mr. Stough and Mr. McMunn's rooms were the check-in stations for the Freshmen. Represent- ing them on the Student Council was Bonnie Anderson. Everyone enioyed the big social event of the year, the Freshman-Sophomore Bunny Hop. Ronnie Copeman's classroom antics and Bob Kunkle's tumbling feats brought deserv- ing chuckles. Freddie's long-shots, the boys' embarrassment when asking the girls to dance, Mike's imitations, were all a part of the Freshmen's best days this year. This is a class which deserves many more.

Teachers adore their enthusiasm for learning and deplore their lapses into childhood. Parents wonder how they will ever live through this trying period. Everyone will be amazed at the changes summer vacation will make and these eighth graders return as freshmen. This year's eighth grade showed ability in many ways. Chuck Carver, Bill Trimble, and Howard Smalley were their contributions to the Junior High basketball team under the management of Larry Gartland. Pauline Mor- ris was seen marching as a iunior maiorette. The eighth grade student council represent- ative was Gretchen Bailey. Carol Green and Bonnie Naylor were proud winners ofthe Fire Prevention Essay Contest and Larry Gartland and Gretchen Bailey of the American Legion Essays. This class will never forget Walter Adams' impersonation of Donald Duck, Richard Gross' candy snacks, Amy Waugaman's hiccups, Chuck Carver's daily tardy slips, and the clowns-Alan Cenis, Leslie Collett and Nancy Murray. It always is a thrill for eighth graders to step up to ninth grade status. Next tall will see them ready for it. 569455 AMERICAN LEGION CITIZENSHIP AWARDS LARRY GARTLAND LINDA SCHADE HONOR ROLL GRETCHEN BAILEY LARRY GARTLAND RICHARD ROGERS LINDA SCHADE DIANNE SNYDER JOHN STEVENS AMY WAUGAMAN Third row-A.

Wide-eyed with wonder at their superiors, they become like little sponges, trying to absorb everything they admire. The girls become clothes-conscious and strive to train various sizes of ponytails. The boys collect in groups to discuss such sub- iects as stars and their Dad's car . . . never girls. Secretly, they worry a little because the girls are growing so tall. Full of enthusiasm, our seventh grade crowded into one big homeroom, supervised by Miss Wiley. Eagerly, they joined the iunior high activities. The iunior Maiorettes were Karen Gardner, Pat Koch, Beverly Wentzel, Cathy Guy and Ruth Rain. Shan Bowen was elected to the Student Council. Ronnie Goras, Kenny Curnow, Jerry Marchand, and Henry Good were ambitious members of the Junior High basketball team. Memorable events filled the year: Tommy Rodgers' soprano voice, the rock and roll stars of the basketball party, Barry Watson and Karen Frye, Bill Kim's interest in science: Kathy Warner's southern accent, the boiled egg incident, Mr. Stough and Mr. McMunn's ability with the board of education. We hope the seventh graders have ab- sorbed some good qualities from the upper- classmen and will go on to be fine eighth graders.

Since teach- ers and parents insist, These are the best days of your life---make the most of them, we thought The Best Days of Our Lives would be an appropriate theme. Housing the material for a yearbook in two drawers of Mrs, H's desk took some doing. Roger, who insisted upon an orderly place for the business staff, often left notes for the edi- tors about the virtue of neatness. One of the most difficult problems of our public press room was to keep anything a secret. Pictures always collected a crowd. In the fall, the coeeditors presented a photo- graphy workshop at the WPSPA conference. Information obtained through research for the workshop proved to be beneficial in our own picture planning. Organizing the soliciting campaign and the subscription drive kept the business staff occu- pied. For the latter, our own rendition of the Al Stevens Show was presented. Such per- sonalities as The Mad Scientist Brentzel, Tarzan Penetozski, and Sheik Long and his harem were interviewed. Profits from bracelet sales and the con- cession stand at the basketball games ran high this year. A new proiect, selling high school stationery, unfortunately, wasn't successful. Dances sponsored by the Carillon were The Record Hop, and The Thanksgiving Home- coming Dance. On April sixth, the co-editors attended the Connie, Ellen, Carole, Ruth Ann, Sharon, Dave, and Judy decide which picture would be best for a division N Qyexi cms Show Copie plays a little Man on the Street music Pitt Journalism Conference. Helpful hints sug- gested there benefited us in tying up the '57 Carillon. Work was rather evenly distributed throughout the year, until March, when we plugged unceasingly to meet the April dead- line. The first place award from the NSPA and the Gold Medal from Columbia were received by the '56 Carillon. This inspired us to strive for perfection in our book in hopes that we may attain the high standards of former Carillons. Our trip to General Press in Tarentum helped us to understand all the steps in pro- ducing a yearbook. Roger, Jim, Gene, lla, and Polly liked the idea of the Record Hop for their dance. 3?

The stat? was composed of senior high students interested in iournalism. At the suggestion of the administration, our newspaper became an ottset lithography publication. Formerly, it was mimeographed. A monthly issue, the Saber highlighted all the school events. ln addition to the special features , there were editorials, pictures, car- toons, puzzles, and iokes in each issue. Several contests were run to predict basketball scores and prizes were awarded the winners. Every- one enjoyed the news and iokes from the ex- change editors. Working together very efficiently were sophomores Bob Bryan, Jerry Jellison, Dave Creighton, and Gary Barner, of the business staff. David Bailey was in charge ot photo- graphy.

Fitted our social events into the calendar The Student Council has infiuenced the en- tire school by its approval of dances, parties, new clubs, and other high school activities. Upon affiliating with the National Asso- ciation of Student Councils, they were sent a membership certificate and a subscription to the National Student Council magazine. Some of the members attended an assembly in Greensburg High School in April, to learn how other Student Councils function and to get ideas to improve our own body. ln addition to revising and adopting a new constitution, it has also revised the Student Handbook, approving the point system for activities which it contained. The Student Council sponsored their annual Christmas dance, The Snow Ball. The profits were used to treat the student body to a party in honor of our team's winning the county championship. Another major project of the The top brass of the Student Council Polly Dick, and Jack, take time out for a poke Student Council, the fiower fund, was in- creased in size through contributions made by the students.

Strange noises pierced the air as the band rehearsed on Monday evenings. Boasting seventy-tive members, it is the largest organ- ization in the school. Almost every night of the week Mr. George Weaver, the band di- rector, gave lessons to prospective members as well as some of his regular musicians. Performing for various civic organizations throughout the year provided valuable ex- perience to the combo and the German Band. Both presented some enjoyable entertainment for the community and their classmates. As in the past, the band marched in the Loyalty Day, the Halloween, and Memorial Day Parades. On two occasions they played for PTA. Their annual concert, which marked the Tenth Anniversary of the band, honored all former band graduates. Receipts from the con- cert financed the Band Banquet for members and their guests. At this banquet, the grad- uating Seniors were awarded pins in recog- nition of their service. Since only eight members will graduate, next year should be very successful. resulted in many enjoyable performances The MAJORETTES, clad in navy skirts and white, bulky-knit sweaters, stepped high to the music of our band. Under the leadership of Pat Benish, they formulated some clever new routines. Although the refinished gym fioor lessened their number of performances, they practiced diligently for local parades. Imitating cowgirls in the mock presidential election proved to be fun for them and brought enjoyment to the spectators. Perform- ing at the Band Concert gave them ct chance to demonstrate their skill. They were invited to march in the Loyalty Day Parade in Greens- burg along with the band.

This ten-member club was associated di- rectly with the National Education Association. Ellen Clare Hensler, Dolores Carlson, Ruth Ann Pitcairn, Carol Wyant, and Sharon Flanigan were elected to the offices of president, vice president, secretary, treasurer, and student council representative, respectively.

Tri-Hi-Y good will projects this year were gathering clothing for a needy Kentucky fam- ily and sending Care packages with pop bottle money. A swimming party at the Y, the annual Twerp Dance, and the picnic at Bushy Run with the Hi-Y were among the social events. President, Sandra Shoup, Vice president. Connie Coates, Secretary, Shirley Osselburnf Treasurer, lla Sensenich and Adviser Miss Jones presided at the induction service. A spaghetti dinner was served before the in- duction. bridge M.

Other officers were Dave Schmidt, vice president and Roger Good, secretary- treasurer. Because of a change in the by-laws there was no initiation of new members this year, however, the induction of new members was February 21. Eleven juniors were intro- duced into the organization. The evening end- ed with a basketball game followed by re- freshments served by Chef Bowers , their adviser. The annual Hi-Y--Tri-Hi-Y picnic at Bushy Run was enjoyed by everyone. sia, J. Bricker, M.

At club meetings, they learned howto develop and enlarge negatives, and how to better the quality of their pictures. Movies on photo- graphy furnished by the Eastman Kodak Com- pany made learning more enioyable. Sponsoring the movies Seal Island and Beaver Valley was one of their proiects this year. Everyone appreciated their display of National High School Photography Awards. ln the spring, a tour was made of Irwin Photo Lab and the WQED studios. Officers were: Herbert Brown, president, William Chizmar, vice president, Mike Chiz- mar, secretary. Mr. Dudley and Mr. Funk co- ordinated their duties as advisers. LIBRARY AIDES What do those girls at the library desk do? Check in about two hundred books a day. Check and deliver pink slips. Answer ques- tions such as: Do you have another book like this one? Any books about Hot Rods? How about a skinny book with big print? Where's the book l reported on last time? Patience with the impatient, kindness with the timid, shushing the noisy, all three, are a part of a good library aide's duties. Our library is a place of many meetings Here the Saber and the Carillon are hatched, students are initiated, and many social affairs are planned. Trying to maintain a library atmosphere is difficult. Everyone will appreci- ate having room for activities next year. 'lydvtlfdlftd Helped train our future secretaries in social living Third row-P. Bainbridge, J. Johnston, S. Osselbum, J. Schade, J.

Sending a Christmas basket to a needy fam- ily was one of the projects undertaken by the club. ln past years, the baskets consisted of food only, but this year toys were also in- cluded in the gift. Canned foods were pur- chased individually by members of the club and were packed together in the basket. Very unique and successful was the Sock Hop sponsored by the club. A prize was awarded to the girl with the fanciest socks. A prominent event of the year was the party held at the home of Joy Smith. The Tri- Hi-Y and Hi-Y members were their guests. Standing-R.

Good Rewarded some tor scholastic and iournalistic effort NATIONAL HONOR SOCIE l'Y In order to place more emphasis on scholar- ship, the administration started a National Honor Society this year. Charters for both Sen- ior High and Junior High membership were granted. Any student who maintained a 3.5 average was nominated as a member. These prospec- tive members were iudged by a faculty council on qualities of leadership, ability, character, cooperation, and service. Our first induction was conducted by North Huntingdon High School chapter, under the supervision of Mrs. Henry Cornell. Each mem- ber received a National Honor Society pin and a membership card. The diplomas of all qual- ified seniors were stamped with the society's seal. QUILL AND SCROLL The hours of work needed to produce school publications are appreciated only by those who do the work and their advisers. Taking this into account, the Saber and the Carillon have added seven more names to the Quill and Scroll roster. This is a reward prized by all who have earned it. lt includes the cream of the crop of high school iournalists. Initiation of these new members into the John Bayard Rodgers Chapter was conducted by alumni members in late April. Past Carillon editor, Barbara Millen spoke about her work with the University of Pittsburgh Press. Re- freshments were served by Miss Bellone's girls.

Included in this year's activities was a trip to the Irwin Post Ofhce where they were shown the processing of inbound and out- bound mail. Since there are many new stamp collectors, much of the club time has been used to ac- quaint them with the necessary information about stamp collecting. At meetings they had discussions on stomp albums, buying approvals and first-day issues. Charles Snyder demonstrated how to detect watermarks in stamps at one of the meetings.

At Christmas time they were highly praised for their a cappella ar- rangement of Silent Night at the operetta. Their voices also blended ettectively in Bless This House , and Give Me Your Tired, Your Poor , and f'Were You There? . These girls enjoyed practicing their songs with Mrs. Silvis and occasionally at Allie Lou's house. Margie Murdoch and Penny McCune accompanied the Teenettes. FRESHMAN GLEE CLUB The Freshman Glee Club furnished the music for several assemblies. They sang the Prayer of Thanksgiving in a seasonal program. After they gained a little more experience they took charge of a patriotic assembly in Feb- ruary. They put their hearts into singing the Caisson Song and God Bless America . Many of these Glee Club members were adopted by the Senior Chorus later in the year. These young singers thoroughly enjoyed their promotion and prided themselves in being apprentices of the Senior Chorus. 746456646014 In special fields vt Dick Cooley, Janice Schade, Gene Cenis, Jack Naylor Peter Shults, Jim Long SHOP AND HOME ECONOMICS train high school students to meet the domestic problems of life.

The sport that is close to the heart ot all A rugged exhibition schedule gave the Knights valuable experience. We opened the season by defeating Trafford in the first game. After losing our first section game with Perry, we retaliated to win eight consecutive section games. We tied for the honor spot by edging out Perry on their home floor. A sur- prise upset by West Newton made this a three-way tie. In the section play-offs at Connellsville we trailed Perry by twenty points in the third quarter. The Knights made a fast comeback to bring us within two points of victory. Al- though Perry won, we knew we had played a good game. After elimination from the WPIAL, Coach Stough's boys entered the county tourney at Hempfield. Easy wins over South Huntingdon and Laurel Valley put us in the finals. The Knights brought home a trophy after upsetting the Bell Avon five to close a success- ful season. Standing-A. Kistler, E. Murray, R. Marchand, R. Guy, R. Montrose, P. Hollis, D. Detar, J.

JUNIOR VARSITY The eleven Little Knights had a very suc- cessful season. Coached by Mr. Markosky, the boys won eighteen out of twenty-two games. In their section they were defeated only once. The reserves, who were capable of keeping the lead tallied by the first team, played often. Never to be forgotten will be the basket that sophomore Dick Marchand scored for Home- stead. The future of lrwin's basketball will be bright if these sophomores continue the good JUNIOR HIGH Although they ended up with four wins and nine losses, the junior high boys' game im- proved as the year progressed.
