Text from Pages 1 - 136 of the 1964 volume:

Laurel High School M R. D. 4 NEW CASTLE, PENNSYLVANIA The 1964 Spartonian theme is “Reflec- tions.” Through pictures and words the year- book helps you recapture the highlights of another school year from the beginning of the year to the end. b Table of Contents Departments Special Areas Supervisors Faculty Seniors Underclassmen Music Dances Clubs Jr Football Basketball Track Baseball Advertising The Laurel Chapter of the F.F.A., under the supervision of Mr. Howard Fox, en- couraged boys to enter the field of agri- culture by offering all the most advanced farming methods. Laurel can be very proud of their F.F.A. demonstration team who placed first of 180 teams in the country. Agriculture A new teacher this year at Laurel was Mr. Ronald Pivovar, the head of the Art Department. With new ideas and new meth- ods of teaching, many students chose the art elective course for their spare time. Business Mrs. McConahy, Miss Eide, and Mr. Owens instructed the commercial students in the proper techniques for the business world. A few of the subjects offered were typing, shorthand, bookkeeping, and office practice. English Book reports, term papers, Shakespearean plays, and vocabulary were all part of the Laurel High School's English department. Mrs. Wiley and Mr. Sola taught senior high English. A new addition to the teaching method was the overhead projector. Health Pills, bandages, and a comforting hand were given out daily by Mrs. Burns. As school nurse, she also arranged for class physicals and administered first aid to all Laurel ac- cident victims. Home Economics Mrs. Platt, head of the Home Economics De- partment, instructed students in homemaking. Starting out in seventh grade with simple meals and easy sewing, the girls progressed, by their senior year, to full course meals and complete wardrobes. Guidance College boards, N.E.D.T., and employment tests fell Into the capable hands of Mrs. McCrumb, our guidance counselor. Students having any kind of problems found that Mrs. McCrumb always had a solution. Industrial Arts Mr. Hrisko, our new industrial arts teacher, instructed junior and senior high boys in wood- working and metal shop. The showcase window, which the shop boys arranged, displayed the fine quality of work they did. LJUi -t� � � • Latin Conjugation of verbs, declension of nouns, and Latin projects were all a part of Latin. Mrs. Martha North instructed Latin to all freshmen and sophomores in the academic course. Music The band, majorettes, drill team, and color guard marched proudly at the football games this year. The band demonstrated several formations such as a trombone and trumpet. The band concluded their marching season with a lights-out” show. Mathematics Mr. Watson and Mr. Weinschenk headed the math department teaching algebra, geometry, and trigonometry. Geometry notebooks with proved theorems and sliderules were a part of the requirements of every math student. Spanish This year Laurel offered its first course in Spanish. Miss Eide, “la profesora, spent her junior year of college at the University of Madrid in Spain. Her accounts of life in Spain made the class more interesting. Social Studies Battles, the Constitution, and Problems of Democracy were all discussed in Mr. Timm’s history classes. This year Mr. Timm was awarded the Valley Forge Freedom Foundation Award. For this outstanding achievement. Laurel is justly proud of Mr. Timm. Science Making explosions wasn’t part of the science department, but Mr. Robert Miller, the chem- istry teacher, did show the future laboratory workers how to prepare oxygen and hydrogen by water displacement. Mr. James Zurasky added to the science department by teaching physics. Physical Education Physical fitness seemed to be the emphasis this year in gym. Mrs. Pifer, Mr. Mattox, and Mr. Kost kept students in shape by ex- ercising, basketball, and other vigorous ac- tivities. Speech Whether or not you planned to make a profession of public speaking, speech was a necessity to everyone. Mr. Robert Sola, a former actor, made speech very interesting as he demonstrated the various methods of presenting a speech. Cafeteria The favorite ladies of the lunch hour are Helen Harr is on, Beverly Weidenhof, Elsie Goettle, Dorothy Roth, Thresa Stroia, and Betty Polenick, the five ladies of Laurel’s cafeteria staff. One reason why these ladies are so popular is that they wash all the dirty dishes. Secretaries Collecting money, giving informa- tion, and bookkeeping were just a few of the many jobs that our secretaries performed. If there were bus tickets to be bought, Mrs. McMichael was contacted. If money was to be deposited, Mrs. DeSalvo was the secretary to help you. If you had a problem about schedules or college boards, Mrs. Parks made an appointment for you with the guidance counselor. Janitors Sweeping and waxing the floors, washing windows, and cleaning up after dances are just a few reasons that the janitors will be remembered. The custodians were always there when they were needed. 13 uojiejisjippv Administration School Board The citizens of the Laurel School District had a large part in our re- flections of the last school year. The capable hands of our school board carried the responsibility concerning the educational needs of the school very well. School Board Members. Seated: Joseph Miller. U.S. Dean. Jesse Hunt. Standing: Theodore Jameson. William McKinley. Joseph Fennirk. and Thomas Allen. Administration Mr. Dale Cameron Assistant Principal Mr. Eugene V. Hill High School Principal The efficient management of our school by the administration will always be remembered by the students of Laurel High School. The interest which the administration has always taken in the activities of the students gave them the incentive to try to reach their goals. We will always appreciate with much gratitude the privileges which they have granted. Mr. Alfred F. Barnes Supervising Principal 19 Mr. Eugene Hassan Faculty Every school day in a pupil’s life is directly influenced by the actions of his faculty. They guide and direct their students toward each one’s individual goals. The student's life and his goals are often changed for the better when an instructor cares enough to guide a pupil in the right direction. This is the purpose of teachers. They are here to teach, but their influence on a student does not stop there. A teacher is an example for his pupils. Miss Judith Eide Mr. Howard Fox Mr. John Hale Mr. William Hrisko Mr. Richard Kost Mr. Richard Mattocks Mr. Robert Miller Mr. Richard Morrison Mr. Samuel Nan Mrs. Ruth Pifer Mr. Ronald Pivovar Mrs. Eleanor Reynolds Mrs. Gladys Rhodes Mr. Ri(.hard Robinson Mr. Stanley Shaw Mr. Robert Sola Mr. Fred Timm SENIORS Reflections of the Senior class of 1964 reveal students participating in all sports, organizations, and club activities. With the guidance of the advisors, Mrs. Wiley, Mr. Watson, and Mr. Owens, the class successfully reached the goal in their magazine sale. The class sponsored various activities which in- cluded selling football programs, refreshments at home basketball games, and holding sock hops after basketball games. A Christmas party for seniors and their guests was also a class project.

The candidate receiving the most votes becomes president. This year’s student council, under the supervision of Mr. Samuel Wein- schenk, sponsored the point system for achievement pins and bought all the most popular records for the school Officers: Seated: Eileen Cox and Barb Gibson.

National Honor Society With the close of another school year the National Honor Society ended its fourth year. To become a member of the Honor Society, a student must reflect such qualities as character, scholarship, leadership, and service. A person must be in the top half of the class and be voted on by the faculty. This year the Honor Society was composed of seventeen members. Some of the activities that the Honor Society sponsored were giving an honor roll plaque to the homeroom with the most students on the honor roll, a Christmas card mailbox, two successful book sales, and the annual Honor Society induction of new junior members in the spring.

Leadership, scholarship, coopera- tion and all other divisions in a program of work are very important, but it is from the money earned and experience gained from raising crops or live stock or doing work experience projects that gains advancement in the FFA. This past year the 32 Chapter members won 16 gold, 17 silver, and 15 bronze awards in the Butler-Lawrence-Beaver Project Record Book contest. In the State contest for 1963 project record books. Laurel garnered three gold, five silver, and four bronze awards. The Chapter continued its cooperative enterprises with other FFA’s in the Mid-western Pennsylvania area and also with the township super- visors in erecting and maintaining road name markers in Hickory, Scott, and Slippery Rock Townships. Fred McConnell, Robert Stoner, Charles Tillia, and Larry Walters, the FFA Demonstration Team, won first in both the FFA and the electric contest on the district level. For the second consecutive year, the team won the Walter E. Gross Memorial Award and Plaque for the best electric demonstration. On the state level the team received third place in FFA competition and first, a $60 cash award in the electric division. Under FFA leadership development, Jim Dean and Robert Stoner were members of the State FFA Band. Five members showed dairy cattle at the District Dairy Show in Meadville. Jim Dean, Robert Glenn, Robert Stoner, and Larry Walters showed in the state contest at Harrisburg. Larry won a blue ribbon in his class, Robert Glenn received first in his class and was judged second in the state with his Jersey cow. Early in October the Chapter received word that they had won a silver spur in the National Chapter Award Contest. This contest covered practically all FFA activities. This annual award is given to only three chapters in Pennsylvania. Laurel now has won two silver and five gold awards in the past eight years. Richard Lukas, Fred P. McConnell, John E. McConnell, and James Rhodes were advanced to the highest state degree—Keystone Farmer At the annual Father-Mother-Son Dinner, 1964, Fred and John McConnell were named Chapter Star Farmers; Jim Dean was the star Greenhand Farmer. Under Earnings and Savings, seven hundred calendars were published, greeting card sales were the highest in the Chapter’s history, and the seed and plant sale was very successful. The $5,000 budget provided money for trips to Harrisburg, Dairy Show and Farm Show, Penn State Activities Week, FFA Leadership Conference, saving bonds. Father-Mother-Son Dinner for 180 people and operating expenses. President John McConnell conducted FFA meetings with dispatch. The Chapter Procedure Team advanced to the district finals before elimination. Scholarship awards were furnished by the FFA Scholarship, plaque and saving bonds were given to seniors with high scholastic standing by Superior Sand and Supply Company. J. Francis Boak Insurance Agency, and the Rodgers Insurance Agency. In 1963 the FFA made a trip to Eastern States Feed Mill at Buffalo, New York, Fort Niagara on Lake Ontario, a zoo, museum, and art gallery in Buffalo. Recreation was provided at local Round-Ups and at the Leadership Conference at Brandy Springs Park. Penn State FFA Activities Week also provided a varied program of judging, demonstrations, recreation, and mass meetings. A very successful Father-Mother-Son Dinner, March 12, 1964, was enjoyed. The new 1964-65 Officers presided over the affair. Larry Walters acted as Toastmaster. Mr. Jerry F. Longwell of Elderton and Mr. Richard C. Porter of Lines- ville, student teachers, were with Mr. Fox from January 6 to March 13, 1964. They also spent two weeks here in September for observation. Youth Correspondents Kathy Bodziach and Bob Lukas were Laurel's Youth Correspondents for the Newcastle News. Their articles reflected the typical school spirit of the students in the numerous activities. Be- ing Youth Correspondent was hard work and very time consuming. Driver Training Mr. Kost gave last minute instructions before beginning another hectic day of driver training. What would happen that day. was a big question in his mind. Organist Shirley Kerr faithfully practiced the organ daily for the chorus festivals. Her diligence is an example of several enthusiastic music students.

CAST How could anyone forget the story of eight people hiding in an attic in Amsterdam for two years to escape the concentration camps and death? The day to day account of their terror is found in a diary kept by a thirteen year old girl. Romance, suspense, and adventure were reflected in this year’s Senior class play, The Diary of Anne Frank. ” Mr. Frank. . . , Meip......... Mrs. Van Daan Mr. Van Daan Peter........ Mrs. Frank. .

Harvest Visit a Hawaiian Harvest as the Sophomore Class, by means of decorations, took their guests on a three-hour trip. Leis, surf boards, and a flowered gate greeted each visitor and also ac- cented the dance floor. Refreshments were served by parents who stood on a form of the island natives. The highlight of the evening was the coronation of the king and queen of the Harvest Ball. The corona- tion began at 10 p.m. Leading the procession were last year’s King and Queen. Following them the three sophomore couples and four junior couples took their places in the court. Then the six senior couples who were candidates for the King and Queen entered and took their places. The moment had arrived and Mary Jo Leonhardt and Joe Roth were crowned the Harvest Ball Queen and King of 1963. Pictures were taken and the royal couple led the dance followed by the court. This ended the corona- tion. Gifts were given away and the dancing con- tinued until 11:30. The first dance of the fall re- flected that another school year had begun. Walter Berry.

Coronation Homecoming The evening of October 26, 1963, reflected the third successful Homecoming of Laurel High School. At 7:45 p.m. the three senior candidates the queen and the remaining girls of the court arrived in their convertibles. As the bands played Moon River” Mr. Sola an- nounced the girls while their escorts ushered the girls out to the field. Each girl carried a bouquet of mums. The ends of the mums were tinted to match the girls’ gowns and the bouquets were held by matching ribbons. The suspense built as the moment for crowning the new queen arrived. As everything be- came quiet, Mr. Sola announced Shirley Sicka- fuse the 1963 Homecoming Queen. Last year’s Queen, Jean Tonder, crowned Shirley and Mr. Powell of the Boosters presented her with a bouquet of red roses. The Boosters also presented the senior band, drill team, majorettes, color guard, and cheerleaders with white mums. Queen Shirley 77 Thanksgiving Dance Cast from 1. to r.: S. Vredenberg, M. Withrow, G. Miles, D. Dean, G. Allison, S. Hunter, L. Kennedy, C. Riley, D. Barnes, and K. Cowan. To highlight the Thanks- giving vacation, the Junior class planned their annual dance for November 29. The decora- tions of multicolored crepe paper displayed the feeling of the Thanksgiving holiday. Tables were arranged in the lobby and several waitresses dressed as Indians and Pilgrims served the guests. The high- light of the evening was the skit A Turkey on the Table Is Worth Two in the Bush,” written and performed by mem- bers of the Junior class. Mrs. Wiley and Mr. Bonner were announced the queen and king of Babyland. Joe McMichael Christmas Party With the coming of the holiday season, the Senior class started making plans for the Christmas party. This year the class decided to have a party for Seniors and their guests. Each guest brought a toy which was given to a charitable organization. Bob Lukas acted as emcee for the entertainment. David McClymonds played several numbers on his accordion. Then a skit was presented by a few of the seniors. To close the program, Mary Jeanne Scotia played several Christmas carols. Milan Bales, the class president, presented the Senior advisors with Christmas presents. A lunch was then served, followed by dancing. Enjoy a Spartan Holiday. After months of waiting, the biggest event of the year arrived. On May 24, 1963, the Juniors and Seniors of Laurel and their guests prepared for an evening in old Rome. The decorations reflected the Roman atmosphere as white ivy-twined pillars stretched the blue cloud false ceiling. The band was featured on one end of the gym while a fountain surrounded by ferns decorated the opposite end. The prom added another reflection of the past year. Dancing to the music of the “Classics CHESS CLUB The thought-provoking challenge of chess will not be forgotten quickly. The wrong decision might mean that the game will have to be forfeited to the oppo- nent. Questions rose to be pondered over. “Will I castle my king? Which shall I sacrifice, my bishop or my rook? Much profitable time was spent by the girls as they made cards and favors to cheer the people in homes for the aged. The feeling of making someone else happy brings happi- ness to the giver. 11226416 ROARING 80’s STYLE SHOW The fashion show was a brilliant success. Soft music in the background with Mrs. Kost describ- ing the clothes which the students modeled so well, make us remember with agreeable satisfaction the assembly which the Roaring 80’s sponsored. SCIENCE CLUB Were you interested in space, atoms, experiments, and space flight ? If you were, the Science Club would have been your choice of clubs OUTDOOR CLUB Enjoyable memories will be recalled by the mem- bers of the Outdoor Club. The field trips that were planned, the many hours of skating and bowling, and horse shows will pleasantly brighten our memories. Dramatics Club The stage reminds us of the many field trips taken to see various plays at the nearby colleges. Many of the members also participated in the school plays by working on the stage crew. Mr. Sola, advisor to the Dramatics Club, often made the theater and its history become a reality by telling anecdotes of his own career. Future Nurses Nurses from the various hospitals of the community gladly consented to have the program for the club several times this past year. Looking at the “real nurses brought questions of what the career is really like to the minds of the prospective girls. 82 Future Teachers The Future Teachers Club, under the direction of Miss Eide and Mr. Watson, encouraged students to enter the teaching profession. A visit to college was planned, various reports on the teaching profession were given, and several members helped with the pre-school clinic. Hostess Club What would we do without a Hostess Club? The smoothly run banquets would have been impossible without the effi- cient hostesses. Each club day held a new program to be enjoyed by the girls. 83 Varsity L Club Newspaper Club Boys who have lettered in any sport are eligible to join the Varsity L Club. The various projects the club has sponsored this year include a canned food drive at Christmas, a dance after a basketball game, and a project of selling school sweatshirts. Everyone who came to basketball games this year certainly enjoyed the convenience of a program with the starting line-ups. The Newspaper Club took the responsibility of printing these programs. The club also 84 sponsored a record hop after a basketball game as one of its activities. Roaring 80'$ Club The purpose of the Roaring 80’s Club was to in- crease interest in school activities. The various activities promoted by the club were a fall fashion show, a sale of basketball figurines, and a Sadie Hawkin’s Dance. Travel Club We remember the enchanting but tiresome trip to New York. Trains, buses, sights, and a million other things are brought to memory. Of course the tons of candy which were sold for the trip are not too quickly forgotten either. 85 Intramural Intramural sports were a very popular activity at Laurel this year. These sports aroused a competitive spirit among the different teams. The varsity and junior varsity basketball players coached the junior high teams. The champion team received trophies. Girls were included in the intramural program for the first time this year. Although the girls’ basketball games were rougher than the boys’, the best players became the champions. Jumping for a rebound. Jumpball. The boys make the extra effort to get the ball. The team listens to last minute instructions from the coach.

Do you remember our Junior Class Play. ‘ A Visit to a Small Planet. Pictured here are Clark Young, Janet Thompson, Milan Bales, and Jayne Armstrong. uou FOOTBALL With September just three weeks away everyone’s attention was focused on the 1963 Spartan football team. The highlight of the season was the hiring of the new head coach, Mr. Sam Nan, and the new assistant coach, Mr. James Zurasky. Coach Nan didn’t expect to set the world on fire his first season al- though eleven lettermen were returning to the squad. The enthusiasm shown for football was greatly increased by the scheduling of four home football games under the new foot- ball lights. A special effort was made by everyone—the Laurel Boosters operating a refreshment stand, the band performing a new routine at each game, and the spectators com- ing to cheer for the team. Combining long runs, hand offs, safetys, extra points, passes, and touchdowns, the team made football history at Laurel, bring- ing a record of four wins, two losses, and two ties. The 1963 football team and their coaches introduced football to Laurel. Scores Game Opponent Laurel Wilmington 26 7 Mohawk 0 0 Shenango 27 12 Neshannock 14 20 S.S.

Mr. Weinschenk led Laurel to its first track meet victories during the 1963 track season. He devoted many hours to the team not only coaching but repairing and building a track for Laurel. The members of the squad also donated many hours to hard physical labor digging the three badly needed pits. As a result of their efforts Laurel was able to hold its first home track meet. The coach's efforts didn’t stop with the team. He tried to encourage track events throughout the school. At the end of the season he held an intramural track meet between the sophomores, juniors, and seniors. The outcome of the meet exposed the true reflections of our physical condition. The Class of “64 became the champions and received a well-earned trophy. Gary hurled the shot. Co-captains Larry Lough and Milan Bales received Invitation Trophy from Mr. Weinschenk.
