To many, the journey has seemed long and burden- some, to others, it was but a fleeting passage. This yearbook is dedicated to the telling of the struggles and triumphs, joys and sorrows, travails and re- wards, and to the little moments that perhaps appear not to have much significance now, but as the years pace along, will bring back fond memories of the four years of prepara- tion, that are an exchange of the long, regular path of the Golden Gateway, for destiny .... 4' ill-. .

Come in, and welcome to Lackawanna Hi h! We've had 2 9 1 very high recommendations regarding your caliber, and, of course, feel honored that you chose our school to continue your education. Undoubtedly, a new school building and its routine seems, at first, strange and unfamiliar, but we know that it won't be long before the Lacka- wanna High spirit of friendliness, so abundant here, will make you feel completely at home. You may be certain that the students, teachers, and administration will all work together to help insure your scholastic well- being, and make your four years of high school as pleasant, and, above all, as profitable and maturing as possible. Here is the spacious main office, where you'll come to know our principal, Mr. John P. Osborne, indefatigable and indispensible to the smooth operation of all phases of school life. As chief administrator, he is responsible for the supervision and operational procedure of all school activities, for the formulation of school policy, as well as for numerous other details necessary to a well-run school. In his secondary, but equally important capacity, Mr. Osborne has the well-being of each individual stu- dent as his responsibility, and is available at any time of the day as prob- lems of yours arise that need his attention. The attractive rooms adjacent to the central office are those of our guidance counselor, Mr. Edward J. Cosgrove. His task is no easy one, for today the job of school counseling is of more importance than ever before. Care must be exercised to insure that each pupil obtains the full benefit of his high school course. Mr. Cosgrove sees to this by evaluating indi- vidual programs and by making every effort to see that each student is given a schedule consistent with his aptitude and ability. In addition to this, and to administering testing programs such as the scholarship ex- aminations, Mr. Cosgrove can be approached at all times for conferences about future plans, and many kinds of literature and information on all types of occupations may be obtained at his office. Our two assistant principals, Mr. Robert Hasler and Mr. Harry Doherty, have the important tasks of managing the school student rec- ords, and even more importantly, of keeping the students in line-that is to say, making sure that the tardiness and absenteeism are kept at a minimum and seeing to the period-by-period smooth operation of the school fthey seem to know instinctively when anyone skips classy These delin- quents and others who blithly stray from the narrow path of school rules constitute a special duty-and a stern one, for these two most competent men. Their secret weapon against such waywards is the ominous jug, conducted very ably at 2:45 every school day. OUR WORKSHOP hm... 4 L .

PLANNING STARTS WHEN You ENTER SCHOOL: NOT WHEN You ARE READY TO LEAVE HIGH SCHOOL 6 Mr. Edward Cosgrove OUR ASSISTANT PRINCIPALS Helping to swing wide the gateway to our various careers are our busy Assistant Prin- cipals. In daily contact with most of the stu- dent body, Mr. Hasler and Mr. Doherty feel the day to day pulse of the school's many activities, and have the responsibility of maintaining sound discipline and regular at- tendance. This does not mean, however, that only those who run counter to school regu- lations have the opportunity to meet these two diligent administrators. Problems grow- ing out of relationships with teachers and their fellow students find their way to the desks of the Assistant Principals each school day. Never too busy to listen, and to give advice about personal problems or studies, these men must have the patience, the sym- pathy, and the firmness of decision which make possible effective instruction in a smoothly-functioning school building. They are familiar figures as they stride down the lengthy corridors on their periodic tours of inspection, checking the library permits, the occasional wanderer from gym class, and the dawdler on his way to chorus or clinic. Valu- able assistance is rendered by the office monitors who collect absentee records, do the office typing and filing, and in general, gain valuable experience for future careers in the business world. ,. 1 if , . .

His material must sufficiently absorb the students' attention so that memory captures the matter and a lasting substructure of background is implanted fthe student builds his own House of Intellect as he continues through lifej. High School training is the bedrock from which our adult citizens continue their quest for education. But if a teacher sought only to develop the retention of knowledge, memory would become the prime function of the brain, and like ancestor-adoring Confiscionists our suc- ceeding generations would revere solely the past. Instead the teacher's job demands that he help to expand the student's faculty of intellect by accentuating the creative imagi- nation, in a word the student must reason, must begin to think for himself. The power to form individual judgements and, if necessary, resist the opinion of the crowd, is a necessary part of education. Without creative imagination progress, be it philosophic, material, or spiritual, will grind to its own clumsy distinction. Finally the teacher must, somehow, stimulate the student to such a pitch of enthu- siasm that self education, curiosity and inquiry into the thing' of life becomes a settled attitude of the post high school person. Without enthusiasm even the expanded intel- lect with the creative imagination may suffer from the disease of pessimism or negatism. The truly professional high school teacher is a man or woman to be valued. 8 ffiix N VN fl Selig? ff T f 'T3N X xl! ,N x XX f X-ff X 'Q ,, f- fi H 1 I f -5 tl lj tfkafsf Q f M-.acre X.

This is the theme motivating the Lackawan- na High School Student Council. Its present officers, nominated and elected by the stu- dent body, are Kenneth Pietrowski, Presi- dentg Ed Puchalski, Vice-Presidentg Rose Anne Sokal, Secretary, Walter Kurnik, Treas- urer, Robert Canestrari, Parliamentariang Arsillio Capuani, Vice-Parliamentarian. In addition, each homeroom selects a delegate to represent his group at the Council meetings, held bi-monthly. These meetings serve a two- fold purpose: The primary function of the Student Council is the legislation of such rules and regulations as the Dress Codeg sec- ondly, since, at these meetings, students are given an opportunity to express their opin- ions on school affairs, an understanding of the student body may be developed by the faculty. Moreover, students attending these meetings are taught respect for law and ord- er, and, at the same time, are given an excel- lent opportunity for training in citizenship. lst Row: Martha Taggert, Mary Evanovich, Marsha Watkins, Ann Bartus, Kay Sabuda 'A 2nd Row: Albert Braxton, Richard Vettarini, Gene Kupkowski, Steve Biach ,f-' lf W X x Sf 0 David Bates FRESHMAN SOPHOMORES Bottom: Joseph Butka, Judy Burns, Joyce Fadeley, Sylvia Pasherb Top: William Horbachewski, Carolyn Licata, Karen Balsavage, Joseph Amorosi, Thomas Snyder .IUNIORS 1.

Here is where you will experience the budding of new friendships, only a few feet from your desk, and a closeness that exists when you share your problems with some- one your own age. As the months of your freshman year slip by, you will, no doubt, begin to feel as if you had known your home- room frieinds for your entire lifetime. There won't be any strangeness or shyness to pre- vent you from carrying on an enjoyable con- versation or asking a question about some homework. Even the quietest of students will take part in the buzzing activity of this hub of school life. Under the guidance of your homeroom teacher, you will work as one family, in va- rious projects and campaigns, whereby each student will develop a sense of responsibility and cooperation. These are qualities which will play an important part in your character- building for it is in these years that maturity and leadership are blossoming. After ten months, these four walls will issue forth thirty wiser individuals and thirty new friends. If they have gained a ful- ler understanding of respect for their fellow student-his property, his rights and his opinion-and if they have learned the mean- ing of self-discipline, then they will be truly advanced on the way to responsible citizen- ship. Remember, you will be one of these students, eager to reach your goal. Can you apply yourself as others have before you? I am sure you will make an effort. In years to come, as you venture back in memory into the past, I know you will cher- ish deeply the significance of the hours you spent here as a member of this homeroom.

These activities also teach the principles of good sportsmanship, fair play, and fellowship. The interest shown by the student body in our athletic events, both active and pas- sive, is commendable. Because of this, many of our athletes have excelled in their particu- lar field. They include Sam Endich, Ralph Sambuchi, Jack Devic, and John Pienta for football: Gene Kaczor, George Bartokovich, Bill Bilowus, Marty Thompson, and Carvis Braxton for basketball: Johnny Melvin for track and volleyball, Ralph Sambuchi also for trackg Jack Migliore for golf 3 and George s i rt k h fo t A I - Ba o ovic , r ennis.

In rain, to crus . p cold and snow, the blue-and gray-clad cheerers urged on our not always victorious football team. Though with the approach of basketball season this cheering squacl's unity began to break, the main objective till here Go' Fight' Win' was the unified cry of the was s . . . . team. It was greatly through their encouragements, threats, tears and cheers that Coach Kaczor's Steelers were so out- standing.

Early in the season, the team showed sound promise. Light and inexperienced, the boys fac ed their toughest opponents in their opening games. Yet they managed an even break against the choice of the NFL only to have a technical ineligibility cancel their v al- i a nt e ffo rt. Before seemingly empty stands, and in the mud and water of some of the most vile football weather of recent years, our boys and their coaches gave every opponent ample evidence to realize that they had just played a real team. The record , as it printed in cold statistical form, may well appear dismal but that is only because statistics do not tell the full story - the story of individual courage,of team spirit, self-sacrifice, and pride. ckey Damsteder, Dick Vittarini, Jose Castillo, John Pienta, Peter Echeverria omas Snyder, Tom Machiocha, John Kogut, Robert Canestrari, Richard Gianicchi gene Klubek, Ralph Sambuchi, Joseph DeStefano, Steve Raymond, Joseph Amorosi if J H 'I H7 4 4 4 .Q '.

In the face of Kemnore East's towering veterans, no team in the NFL was too optimistic. Locally, Coach Kaczor was faced with a partial rebuilding problem. Size was not too important a consideration, since Thompson, Bilowus, and Tom Machiocha could sweep the boards against most opposition. Carvis Braxton possessed considerable experience and Sam Endich gave promise as a junior that he ha'd the poise so necessary to a floor captain. Gene Kaczor, Len Kovach,A1 Braxton, and Paul Buntich rounded out a. squad with potential that was still a question mark. However, the dedication game against Niagara Falls gave solid answers to all the questions. Seldom has a Steeler team in a challenging situation risen to greater heights - and they rose again and again to the same heights throughout a tough schedule. an f- 5 N J QQ Carvis Braxton .lwgff 1 Ula . ,2 Bill Billowis 80 I J fp 5 Nm WIN Aff f p ff X, ah iff ii M Wx XX, rx T 3 5. :Q 2 oiutriraupqp- ZN 0,5 X J I MANAGERS 11 - Steve Zeluny, Richard Zelany, Mr. Bonarek, -X - Angelo Velaquaz, James Hendra. - l O Xl' 1 f ' Z2 VARSITY BASKETBALL TEAM Row 1: Paul Buntich, Carvis Braxton, Sam' Endich, Gene Kaczor Row 2: Mr. Zadzilka, Assistant Coachg Albert Braxton, Thomas Machuta, Martin Thompson, Bill Billowis, Kenny Kovac, Mr. Kaczor, Coach x -- .-.+ ..,...., . , A rails El-F0 6.51-6 KQELE gil-5 3 Row 1: Douglas Madar, Anthony Violanti, Dan Shea, Larry Stetz, Reginald McQuil1er Row 2: Coach Zadzilka, Rich ard Sczepanski, Eugene Kupkowski, Robert Biskup, Charles O'Conner, John Wallace, Charles ROSS' Jake Mayenko' l.V.

Try-outs for the team began in late October. and although nearly one hundred boys showed an interest the first few nights, the team was finally whittled-down to twenty fellows. All the members were conscientious and hard-working, however only a few had the experience of competitive swimming. Never- theless, the boys fought well and the skill acquired by the undergraduates, particularly the Freshmen, should produce a top-flight team in a couple of years. The coach, Richard Lallmang, who was a champion swimmer in high school and col- lege, did an excellent job of training our boys. Among the Seniors were Terry Burgon. Chris Glab, Ken Polencarz, Dave Peszko, and Tom Johnson. Not pictured is one of the divers who did a fine job and racked up quite a few pointsg he is Bill Horbachewski. LIFESAVING CLASS ,Tv 'il' 3.1.

Team Captain John Melvin, our top point scorer with 86541, points, was un- beaten in the high jump during the season, and in the Sectionals at Amherst he smashed the school and league records with a tremendous jump of 6' lllf. Also one of the N.F.L.'s top runners in the 100-yard dash, John has been beaten but twice, once by teammate Dave Barnett. Dave was also responsible for Ralph Sambuchi's only defeat in the Hop, Step, and Jump. As our second highest point scorer with 86113, Ralph was undefeated in the Running Broad Jump. Other fine performances were turned in by Don Brennan, who set a new school record this year in the 440-yard rung Frank Blakely in the half mile, Sophomore Tony Mazzuchi in the mile, and sprinters Louis Bullock and Jerome Chillis in their favorite events. lr- 3 'B l' 36 mek TEAM TENNIS TEAM Coach N0V2k, Richard Zambron, Bob Shaw, George Bartokovitch, Steve Raymond, Paul Williams, Bill Billowis, Robert Canestrari 3 iam-, 01 Row 1: Coach Joe Gonsiorek, Buddy Russell, Gene Kaczor, Tony Fontana, Sam Endich, Joe Young, Tom Maciocha Row 2: Ken Kovach, Dan Shaffer, Tom Evancho, Nelson Malayny, George Kosanovich, John Pienta. 87 BASEBALL TEAM While treating each student to a full course of the essential vitamins of learning, the modern school also offers numerous opportunities to enrich and Jroaden youthful experience through a program of zo-curricular activities. Lackawanna, with superb facilities, can meet the tastes and interests ofall Lts student body. Sports, both inter- scholastic a.nd intra- mural, claim a major share of student interest and Participation. Yet those activities closely allied to the curriculum attract an equal number of boys and girls who wish to extend the range of their sub- jects through independent research in clubs and in projects. The yearbook, the student council, speech and dramatics groups, to mention only these few, contribute to the basic interest a student shou.ld have in school while at the same time creating new hori zons of interest and accomplishment. In a practical sense, participation in these activities in d i c at e s to employers and college admission boards the energy and the curiosity which they regard so highly.

Soloists Claudia Karl, Kathy Notley, Maureen Arsztalos, Fred Hendra, Robert Kulbek, pianist Mar- garet Wesley, and the chorus, singing in four-part harmony, were commended for a competent and inspiring performance. In addition, the chorists sang at Ridge Junior High School and Lincoln Annex assemblies, and entertained the Mc- Kinley l',T.A. at an evening meeting. The next project was the New York State Music Festi- val at Amherst Central High School, a competition among many choruses from the surrounding area. Being new in this field of many experienced groups, the chorus nonetheless re- ceived an excellent rating and adjudication. The fine choric work done by Mrs. Milosevich and the group was tremendously enjoyed by all those who attended the Class Day exercises. In the coming year, it is hoped to present another can- tata, and a Spring concert, the latter possibly in conjunction with the school band, to enter the highly regarded state com- petition, to visit more P.T.A.'s, other schools, and to present some musical programs at our own school. The sincere thanks of the chorus for a full, fine support received from Mr. Osborne, Mrs. Long and the Student Coun- cil are to be noted. To our graduating members, the rest of the chorus says, Best wishes for success throughout life. We'll miss you. I? i Q. 5 5 5.

First, it made clear that the honored seniors were the sole leaders of Lackawanna Senior lligh. Also, through this vital school activity, the so-called baby freshmen and sophomores displayed flashing signs of maturity. Further, homm-rooms 114 and 115, led by Mrs. Nytrai and Mr. Boda, respectively. illustrated that the juniors, after all, were not without vitality. This was proven by their all out struggle to attain first place in the junior classes. With our magazine subscriptions totaling 310,000 as evi- dcncc, it can be established that Lackawanna lligh's student body consists of persuasive and persistent students who not once deviat- ed during the campaign. .X I - vi g 1 1 - F41 if 5- 21' A Niilb fl t r Q F' ,f' ff ,.,,,..

The Jun- iors were fortunate enough to have the use of our spacious gymnasium, which lent itself beautifully to the theme. Pastel-colored crepe paper, paintings of picturesque French cities, and sweet-smelling lilacs gave the room a majestic, ballroom-like appearance. The climax of the gay evening was reached in the coronation of the King and Queen by Gene Klubek and Geraldine Ja- worski, last year's monarchs. The Queen was Bonita Lgutko and the King, Big Ed Puchalski. Ronnie's ladies-in-waiting were Carol Camilloni, Sandy Putich, and Karen Rcnzi. Attending His Majesty were Joe Am- orosi. Dan Monochino, and Ron Mavrek. As the last notes of the Grand March faded, we realized our Prom was on its retreat onto a memory. but that it was also Enchante ! The Grand March SURPRISE!l!!l!l!l!

A cloudless, Sunday afternoon sky reveals our world spinning dizzily on its appointed round while the affairs of man, imitating the twirl of the earth, whirl in their own chaotic sphere. Ideologies conflict, politicians pontificate on Kseeminglyj many sided truths, beatniks bop their bongos, heroes with feet of clay crumble before senate sub-commit- tees and military men .ponder such names as Quemoy, U-2, Vietnam, Berlin, and Nepal. It is indeed a crazy, unsettled, turbulent world. Appearances to the contrary, order and reason still remain the ideals of mankind. and for refreshing assurance of this, there is the traditional high school graduation cere- mony. Young men in blue and young ladies in white scho- lastic gowns file into an auditorium and take their places before a stage which supports local gentlemen of importance. Anthem and Pledge open the program and a Saluta- ian greets all assembled on behalf of her school. Instrument- als, the Oration, Awards. diplomas, flashbulbs, the Valedic- torian, A Few Brief Words, and the Recessional follow, one upon the other until the ceremony is completed. Upon request parents and friends retain their places while grad- uates and faculty leave, then gradually the auditorium empties. This annual ceremony is meant to honor the four years of newly born adults, but it also voices an inaudible, almost unconscious salute to the concept that education, knowledge, the development of reason and imagination re- main a major hope of our society. Perhaps it is no coincidence that the young matricu- late into the world with unjaded confidence and ambitions in the Spring of the year. Even as proud parents and happy graduates return to the world of late afternoon sun and un- certainty, the confidence of youth seems to assure that the troubled globe and its inhabitants may yet come to some answers to the human predicament. The brilliant crimson sunset which promises another bright summer day, echoes this hope. 113 COMMENCEMENT 5-w I ' - 1 1 S v 4 x I Q 7 , K ,.-v- 94 5 --wr SCHOLARSHIP CLASS lst Row: Barbara Mazur, Sheila Myers, Mary Ann Doherty, Nancy Hercek Joanne Kwarta, Elma Wilson, Margaret Wesley 2nd Row: Ted Kloc, Ray Whipple, Terry Burgon, Stanley Zambron, Paul Tollar, Maureen Asztalos, Amalia Leonetti, Mr. Shea .
