Puuuujlvamh, 'Wlcuf 7955 jnfmwofwl As you leaf through the pages of this vear's Minetas, it is our sincere hope that you obtain a true picture of student life throughout L.H.S. May the fun. the Work, the problems, the joys that we as students, encountered be yours as you glance through this. our yearbook. 2 The author of any book, whether novel, history, scientific, or one such as ours, usually has a deep sense of gratitude to someone who helped and inspired him so that a dream eventually became a reality. Toward you, Mrs. Houchens, we the seniors of the class of '55, feel this gratitude. To you we dedicate our yearbook. In recognition of your service to our school, to our community, and to our individual lives, we wish to pay you this tribute. As our history and civics teacher you wakened us to the richness of our heritage. Not only did you help us with our school work, but at the same time you acted as guide and counselor when our problems seemed over- whelming. One of the most valuable lessons we learned IL . from you was the effectiveness of co-operation in any endeavor. We learned that for every freedom and privi- lege we enjoy, we have a corresponding duty to our home, our school, our community, our nation - that only in this way can we help to build a better World. In all of these things you set a shining example. You encouraged us to make the most of our Cod-given talentsg you made us believe in ourselves. Through hard work, generosity and willing sacrifice, plus a genuine love of humanity, you have earned ll shrine in our hearts. Because of you we believe that we shall all help to make the world a little better place in which to live. ddnzzhlhifzatzbfz Snniofw, . . Spam.. fnnhznia, 5 15133 WI' iw X 5 Q1 ei A g. 1. in X v.

As we stop for a moment to reminisce, many fond memories come back to us. Our freshman year was, at first, one of con- fusion and wonder. NVe made many new friends and had a grand time. Before we knew what had happened, we were ushered into our sophomore year. By now we were accustomed to high school life, and we set- tled down to work. We took an active part in the school functions. ln our junior year, six of our members were rewarded for their hard work by being elected to the National Honor Society. Planning the Iunior- Senior Banquet was fun. NVe are proud to say 16 that the banquet was a huge success. Upon becoming seniors, we immediately got to work on our yearbook. The taking of our senior pictures was an important event. Cheer- fully we presented an assembly for the enter- tainment of the underclassmen. Student co-op- eration for the assembly was excellent. YVe worked earnestly to make our senior class play. i'The Line of Scrimmagef, a production which will long be remembered. When the graduation exercises are over, we shall part and go our separate ways. Out into the world we shall go to make our fortune - be it success or failure - but we shall never forget our wonderful days as students of Leechburg High School.

Nlt'llllN'I'SllilJ in this eluh is open to any senior girl who loves sports. The underlying reason for the estalhlislunent ol' this organization is to promote good sportsmanship and huild line eharaeter in girls. At a husiness meeting at the heginuing of the year. ilu- officers were elected. Aliet- -lane Stitl was ehosen presiflentg Audrey Camp, viee 'T' ,Af - presidentg Dorothy Crimm, secretary-treasurer. To begin the new term, the Senior G. A. A. initiated the new memhers of the Junior G. A. A. At each of the meetings all types of sports and various games were pluved. Needless to say everyone had fun. Miss Clarkin is the sponsor of this uetive and worthwhile unit. The junior C. A. A. is eomposed of all junior girls who take at great interest in sports. Before the girls can he- eome full-pledged melnhers. they must he initiated. The Senior G. A. A. does this. First the girls are sent on a scavenger hunt to ohtain odd articles. The group that returns with all the requested ohjeets wins a prize. Now, the girls are hlindfolded and initiated informally. Every- E I U . one has a wonderful time at this gathering - yes. even the pledges. Athletic events are under the guidance of Miss Clarkin. Executives for this year were president Mary Laten Boothg viee president julie D'Andrea: and seeretary- treasurer Marie Balbo.

Singleton, H Clrnahan Ufmlmiaa, The Leechburg High School Orchestra, under the excellent leadership of Mr. Allera, has certainly done its part to make the musical department of our school one of the best. The members are selected from the ninth through tvvelevth grades, but these students must practice With great Zeal and show improvement if they are to retain their position in the orchestra. The adding of the soft-toned string instruments, such as the violin, cello, and bass violin, to the brass, Woodwin, and percussion gives the unit the needed gentleness, and smooth-toned quality which is char- acteristic of any orchestra. The orchestra is always asked to play at all functions for which a slightly professional touch is Wanted - such occasions being the Senior Class Play, Commencement, Baccalaureate, and the Spring Concert. Our orchestra was very Well represented at the County Festival, which was held December 13 and 14 at Kittanning. There was also a fine representation from our school participat- ing in the District Orchestra. To try to acquaint and entertain others with fine music has taken much time and Work by these students and Mr. Allera. We are justifiably proud of their efforts. 58 HMM, Quafuial, Tlwsc- four lmvs am- rvullv uc,-1-S Wlu-n it cmnvs to playing thi- trumpvt aurcl tlu- tromlmom-.

The junior majorettes are practicing again to reach their ultimate goal - to be a future senior majorette. Practicing constantly, these girls try to attain skill and precision in their routines. Their Haired royal blue skirts, white blouses, 60 blue ties, and sparkling white boots with gailv dancing blue tassels make a charming picture. The leaders, Carol Balla and Barbara Cevario, wear white and gold uniforms which make a striking contrast against this background. These gals definitely give us something to look for- ward to in the next few years. 'JL Brawl Students from the fourth to the eighth grades belong to this sprightly group. Mr. Allera organized this band several years ago for the sole purpose of having more experienced drum- beaters and horn-blowers for the Leechburg High School Senior Band. This organization gets the opportunity to display its talents when the unit as a whole marches down Market Street in the Hallowe'en and Memorial Day Parades and also when they per- form in the Spring Concert. At these times the band unfolds its talents by playing various overtures and marches. The members, at the early morning practices or at their regular practice sessions during school hours, learn that there is more to playing an instrument than merely blowing into the mouth- piece or beating the cowhide. They must learn how to read music and tongue their notes. They also learn what different signs, symbols, and Latin and Italian words mean. Most of all it is tl necessity for them to learn to work as a single unit. Oh, yes, the band also practices many long hours during the summer in order to make a good appearance when practice sessions start at school. The Leechburg High School Junior Band is certainly a firm foundation for our Senior Band of the future. The membership is unlimited, if you play any type of instrument, you can join in the ranks and profit by M1'. Allera's teachings. Cul its I Querio, K. Becker Hawk, A. Mac, M. Martinisko, ll.

The Mixed Chorus is the most active of all the large singing groups. lt provides outstanding choral work for Thanksgiving and Christmas programs. or any special assemblies. Nleinhers ol' this group represent the very hest singing talent chosen from hoth the Senior Cirls' and Menis Choruses. At Christmas time a contrihution is made to the vuletide spirit hy singing carols throughout the town one crisp December eve. As a fitting finale they gather 'round the huge connnunity Christ- inas tree and sing the most heautiful and lm:-loved Christmas songs. The party at Nliss Barclays home. to which all the cho1'us IINSIH- hers are invited, is Well worth the frost-nipped fingers and toes which inevitahlv occur. Everyone has his fill ot sandwiches. cookies and pop. Naturally there is some more singing. The climax of a fun and Work-filled year is the Spring Concert. NVeeks of practice are required to perfect the songs to he pre- sented. As the date nears. a case of mass jittersu seizes the performers. And then - VVasn't it a marvelous concert! Several ineinhers of the Mixed Chorus represented our school at County, District, and All-State Choruses. Thanks again to our director, Miss Barclay. I f ll. Singleton, ll. Stuhlzle, li. Shriner, L.

JL. 5. agmilmfball Jmm the bag in order to earn the berth of first place season to make his debut into the rank of head basketball coach of Leechburg High School, was responsible for the showing of a well-rounded squad. The team had great potentialities and dis- played them by putting on some wonderful exhibitions both at home and away. This yearis team fought for the first three berths in the section with Springdale and Taren- tum most of the vear. Leechburg was a tough opponent all year, and the boys could never be counted out of any game until the final buzzer had sounded. A good example of this was the last Springdale game where the Devils overtook a highly touted and undefeated Springdale five in a hard fought 46-44 contest. This was a typical thriller where the long hours of practice and sweat paid off in full. The rest of the Devilis schedule had its share of heart-breakers such as the 44-42 upset bv the underrated Bell Township in an exhibition tilt in the earlier part of the sea- son, and the 55-54 win Tarentum pulled out of in the section. The tough practice schedule which Coach Bouch believes in so ardently paid off extremely well for two members of the Devil squad. The high scoring record for Leechburg High School Basketball teams, which was previously 31 points, was broken by Emil Magdik, a junior who played excellent ball all year long. Then in the final game with Plum Township, Ed Bono, a senior, tied the record which Magdik had pre- viouslv set by scoring 32 points in the 79-53 romp over Plum. Overall, the season was a successful one show- ing a total record of 13 well-earned wins and 8 losses. The teamwork was excellent. The boys had a lot of fun and learned many priceless les- sons under Coach Bouch. Regardless of what the scores may have been, we know that this Blue Devil Team gave their best, and the future will produce many more great basketball squads. .L JL. S.. junfbad Imam. The L. H. S. Football Team of 1954 closed the season with only one victorv chalked up on the scoreboard. This vear's fighting Blue Devil squad went down to defeat eight times but not once without a spirited scrap. The seasoned opened at Indiana under our new head coach William McCandless. The Devils lost a heartbreaker to the Indians in the final seconds of the game. The first home game saw the Devils edged out by a determined Homer City eleven bv the score of 14-13. Ford City, Springdale, Appollo, and Tarentum came out on top in hard fought contests. Then Leechburg fought from behind to take a well-earned 26-24 victory over Kittanning. The next two games with Blairsville and Freeport came out with the Devils on the short end, making the final record 1 and 8. The Devils ran from the winged T this year and as the season moved on a few T formationi, plays were added. When the season closed, Leechburg had a multiple offense which gave plenty of head- aches to the opposing defense. However many headaches the squad gave, the results of the ames indicate that the season was a losing one. But was it really a llxosing season? It certainly wasnit for the boys who played their best. They learned that the real benefits of football are obtained in a losing season as well as a winning season. Co-operation and teamwork were plus all year long. and once more the support of the students and the towns- people was gratifying. With that backing and the L. H. S. spirit, the Devilsn will soon be back on top of the heap. Front row D Till :rom I Boario, E. VVolford, A. Moravec, E. Bono, li. Zanotti, E. Magdikg Bac row nager, J. Curtis, ll. Carnahan, J.

After the final buzzer of the season had sounded, the little Devils were responsible for a season record showing 16 wins and 5 losses. There were only two league losses for the Blue Impsg thus they earned a high rating in the standing of all V. squads. The job of finding raw material and then developing it into varsity material has been handled by Coach Ernest Sendry. The Little Devilv squads of the last few years have had good season records under Coach Sendry and have been able to hold their own with their league opponents. The V. team, playing their games before varsity tilts, brought much excitement and many thrills to the fans this year. The next few semesters should produce some good polished ballplayers with a lot of spark', making Leechburg well repre- sented on the basketball court. C Lt it Stevenson. But, coach . . .

Of all the incidents which occured during the 1954 baseball season, the most interesting to watch was the development of Dick Hunter as a baseball player. Dick was the only member of the squad with the desire and ability necessary for the entrance into professional baseball, therefore, it was fascinating just to watch him. He started slow. The cold blasts of late March and early April do not stimulate great baseball. Baseball players only come into their own when, wrapped up in heavy cotton socks and thick wool sweaters, they begin to simmer under a blistering Iuly sun. Then muscles become warm, reflexes become quick, and fast balls are really fast - so it was with Hunter. Early season found him removed from the third spot in the batting order because of weak hitting. In this contest the bitter, wintry weather reached its peak, and the batter was forced to brace himself against the shocks of a frigid wind which rolled across the unobstructed plain upon which Har-Brack,s field is located. However, when things got hot - weather-wise or otherwise - so did Hunter. A couple losses to Vandergrift in a pair of frenzied ballgames hurt Leechburg considerably, but altogether the season was not a poor one. It witnessed Ellis McCracken,s last attempt at coaching at Leechburg High School, and it also witnessed quite a few other fantastic things. Underclassmen carried the load all through the season with two seniors fDick Hunter and Chuck Noonanl playing vital parts in winning ballgames. Pat Smail and Alex Kroll watered down their smoking bats after every ballgame, and Don Tallarom pitched fine baseball through- out the season. Emil Magdik, Kenny Clever, and Ed Clowatski also put in their best, but all in all it was a ball club that could have played better ball if a little more support had been given to it by the student body. Letis not let the Devils down in one sport and support them iii another. When everyone,s behind them Weill be sure to see future L. H. S. teams play the brand of ball they're capable of playing. 1 .
