We the Class of 1962, take pride in dedicating this yearbook to you, Mr. Carroll. Your unfailing guidance and dedication to your duties as a teacher will always be remembered by us.

You have significantly helped us towards reaching our goal-that of becoming completely well-rounded individuals.

The ap- plication of these prerequisites are based on a knowledge and understanding of the principles for which our country stands. American education is dedicated to the teaching of these principles. At the same time, We are permitted to practice the freedoms implicit in democracy, and en- couraged to impose the self-disciplines which, in the end, make democracy work. Vfhile we often have a tendency to portray the lighter side of our years in high school, we have a deep respect for knowledge and the quest for wisdom. We know that those who have been entrusted with our education are dedicated people. Their sole aim is to show us the way and to inspire us to search for truth. The philosophy of our whole educational program is established on the theory that a man, to be superior, must develop in harmonious proportion his moral, intellectual and physical nature. This is the end toward which all men should strive, it is the only goal which constitutes true greatness. l 6 Table of Contents FACULTY . . Page 10 QDireeti0nj SENIURS . . . .

T ath Dept. XVith all the new innovations in to- dayis world, a working knowledge and understanding of mathematics is needed by all students planning to further their education. A basic foundation for higher mathe- matics is laid in seventh and eighth grades by Mrs. Maxine Zargo. Added to this foundation is Algebra I taught in ninth grade by Mrs. lean Burgess, who is substituting for Miss lean Orn- doff. In Mrs. Dorothy Harteris plane geometry, Algebra II, trigonometry and solid geometry classes, students reach the pinnacle of mathematical knowledge attainable in our high school.

To be able to understand the peoples of the world, one must know the prob- lems and situations with which they are faced. The purpose of teaching social studies is to acquaint the student with the lands, people, and problems of the differ- ent nations. In teaching their respective subjects, Mrs. Bigley, Mr. Dolmayer, and Nlr. NIcDermott hope to accomplish this. L. to R.-Mr. McDermott, BS., Mr. Dolmayer, BS., Mrs. Big- ley, BA. 13 Histor Dept. lt is true that history repeats itself. In order to benefit from past mistakes, one must understand the reasons behind the mistakes. The job of the history teachers -Mr. Carroll, Miss O,Lear, Mrs. Young, and Mr. Nigro-is to acquaint students with people and happenings of the past so that they may better comprehend the situations of today. L. to R.-Mr. Carroll, B.S.g Mr. Nigro, B.S., M.Ed., Miss O,Lcar, B.A.g Mrs. Young, B.S. Now that our world has entered the space age, more and more emphasis has been placed on the sciences. Biology, chemistry, and physics are definitely basic, all being fundamental to learning the advanced and related sciences. Biology, a required subject for all tenth grade students at L.A.j.H.S., is taught by Mr. Frank Pinto. Interested and qualified juniors and seniors may elect a year of advanced biology. Academic juniors usually elect a year of chemistry. Physics or Senior Science are the two courses that academic sen- iors may elect. Mr. Ernest Sendry in- structs all three of these courses. L. to R.: Mr. Frank BI. Pinto- B.S., M.Ed.g Mr. Ernest Sendry -BS., M.Ed. Science Dept. In the atomic age in which we are living, greater understanding of science is a urnustv. Mr. Lawrence, Mr. Vag- ionis, and Mr. Cignetti are doing their part toward the advancement of knowl- edge in this Held. Perhaps a great scien- tist of tomorrow is in the making within the walls of L.A.j.H.S. If so, he will have the opportunity and encourage- ment he needs to continue his studies along this line.

In spite of the installation of I.B.M.'s, there are still many jobs in the business world that must have the human touch. VVe take pride in our business depart- ment which trains stenographers, typists, bookkeepers, and file clerks under the capable instruction of Mr. Runco, Mr. Siverling, and Mr. Feicht. L. to R.: Xlr.

A well-rounded education is important to the personality development of the student. Although a knowledge of math and basic sciences is important, the stu- dent should also acquire some under- standing of the arts.

Blue Devil Resume Plagued by injury and lack of depth and size, the Blue Devils could only manage to compile a mediocre 3-7 season. Outweighed by the opposition in practically every game the Devils still fought hard and never stopped hitting until the final whistle. Indiana-The Devils looked good despite losing the initial contest of the season to the larger Indiana team. The Leechburg defense distin- guished itself by holding the highly favored indians to only two hard-earned touchdowns. Plum-Stew Weimer sped 64 yards on the second play of the game tor a Devil score, setting the pattern for the first Devil victory. Bill Ober- dorf and Al F reilino also added scores as the Devil defense again shone putting Plum down 21-7. Ford City-Failing to get their offense rolling, the Devils were upset by a highly-spirited Ford City eleven 14-7 in this contest. The lone Devil score came on a ten yard jaunt by Stew YVei1ner. Springdale-The Blue and VVhite put out a great team effort in downing the Dynamos 12-0. Don Cooper and Bick Benford scored for the Devils whose defense again played a great part in the victory. Apollo--Avenging a bitter defeat from last year, the Devils rolled over Apollo 25-12. Stew 1Veimer tallied twice while Jim and Bill Ober- dorf crossed the goal line once each in the rout of the Tigers. Tarentum-Playing under the poorest conditions in two years the Devils had their offense bogged down, while the larger Bedcats managed to take advantage of Leechburgis mistakes to heat the Blue and Wfhite 20-7. Al Freilino scored the lone marker for the Devils on a 63 yard pass play from Bick Benford. Kittanning-Unable to stop the inside reverse play of Kittanning, the Devils were badly beaten 46-13. Stew XVeimer and Al F reilino scored on long runs for the Devils, only bright spots in a rather dismal evening. Arnold-The Arnold passing attack baflled the Devils to the tune of 35-12 in Leechburgis last home game of the 1961 season. Bill Oberdorf and Stew Weimer scored for Leechburg. F rccport-Bill Oberdorf had a great game scoring all 20 points but thatis about all, as the Devils dropped their big rivalry game to Freeport 27-20. Braddock-Simply outclassed, the Devils were drubbed mercilessly by the powerful Braddock Tigers 67-13. The touchdowns of the evening were scored by Stew XVeimer and Al Freilino as the Devils ended the season. Senior STEW WEIMER Halfback The fastest man on the team, Stew made great use of his speed and cut- back ability by streaking to several long touchdown runs. He also ex- celled as corner linebacker on defense. DON COOPER End Coop was the leading pass receiver on this year,s team. He also handled his defensive end position exception- ally well, despite the fact that he was BILL OBERDORF F ullback Bill our other co-captain, although rather small for a fullback made up for his lack of size in aggressiveness and drive. He scored all 20 of Leech- hurgis points in the Freeport game. Captains Bill Oberdorf and Rick Benford were elected by their teammates to serve as co-captains this year. Bill and Rick served capably and efli- ciently for us. RICK BENFORD Quarterback Rick, co-captain of our team this year, was our signal-caller as well as a capable defensive end. He showed his worth as a passer, completing 9 usually heavily outweighed. out of 18 passes in the Arnold game. 66 T Lettermen 5541 s r All .. .

Opposing backs can vouch for the viciousness of his tackling and down field blocking. Tom was an end until this year when he was shifted to safety on de- fense where he did a very fine job. His tackles many times were all that averted an opposing score. BIARK STEFFAN Guard A very hard worker, Mark was our hard-charging right guard this year. He could always be counted on to give his best to gain a Leechhurg victory. MANAGERS The greatest reward the managers get is just their knowing that they did all they could to aid the team and coaches in any possible way. The boys did an excellent joh this year. L. to R.: R. Bennardo, J. Aylesworth, I. Burgess, R. Lynch. RICH TIRA Fullback Rich, a jack-of-all-trades, could al- ways be depended upon to Hll in at either fullback or defensive line- backer. He also filled in as defensive halfback when the need arose. I t J 1 , Q Q 4159 as yye , A . A , , 40-fb-I ' I A 5 ,, V - A - it . i W f P12 i a if f W' f ' . f ..

After copping their first game of the season 69-57 from West Deer, the Devils hit the skids and proceeded to lose their next five games in exhibition before downing Apollo 54-42 to end the streak. Luck just wasnit with the Devils, however, as they lost two heartbreakers in the Ford City Tourney. Each loss came in the final minute-each by two points. The Devils finally got a breather and clobbered Elderton 66-31 to end their pre-season exhibition schedule. In Section 11-A action, however, the story was just the opposite. The Devils compiled an 8-2 record, good for undisputed second place in the section. Both Devil losses came at the hands of Springdale, the section champs. The second one was truly a heartbreaker with Lady Lucky completely deserting the Devils who outplayed the Dynamos but lost by two points, The Devils also dropped three of four exhibi- tions during lulls in section play, bringing their season record to 12-12. This was a commendable record for a short, scrappv team. Although the Devils' opposition was continually taller, the Hghting spirit made up for their shortness in height. Mr. McDermott, with Mr. Cignetti assisting, did a great job coaching and should come up with another good team next year. 80 1. Managers 2. Cont-li and captain 3. Stutisticians Dec.

Steve had his hest gznne at Tarentum leading the Devils to a hard fought victory with 16 points and many rehounds. Senior RICH CRIBBS Using his excellent hall- handling and drihhling ahility. Rich was the playmaker for the Devils this year. Although leading the team in assists, Rich eould he eounted on to score his share on his long one- h'mders and sometimes unhe- lievahle drive shots. JERRY LINCENFELTER The l e a cl i n g rehounder i'Ling proved that despite his 6' 1 size he could garner the rehounds. Lingv hit a high percentage of his shots seor- ing on short jump shots and tip-ins. He usually played half the game seramhling on the iloor for loose halls-a true ew- ample of his eontinual hustle. 82 IU BOB SULAVA i'Sulav', led this yearis team in scoring. Combining a deadly jump shot with his speed and driving ahility, he averaged close to 14 points per game. His eluteh haskets in the final seconds helped net victories over Brentwood and Freeport. Lettermen ogg JOHN LENZ 'iBig Iohny' used his size to maneuver under the hoards for many rebounds. He played his hest game of the year in pae- ing the Devils to a victory at Arnold, scoring 7 points in the iirst quarter on long jump shots and foul shots. Junior Varsity Team Kneeling, L. to R.-A.

This yearis team got off to a slow start losing their Hrst live games. However, when the team Hnally jelled, they played 500 hall to end the season with an 8-13 record. The best game Mr. Ciguettiis little Devils played came at Springdale, when, after losing previously to Springdale by 38 points, they came hack to down the junior Dyna- mos 54-52. The prospects seem bright for the future and when these boys reach their potential, Leeehhurg will be assured of another good season. 83 Girl 9 Ba ketb ll Team Bottom Row, L. to R.-C.

Senior Class Pla The Thread That Runs So True This is largely a story about an attractive young man, not yet twenty, suddenly made the sole teacher of the Lonesome Valley School somewhere in the hills of Kentucky. Young jesse Stuart feels quite 'clonesoinev when he is put in charge, for many of his students are big- ger and tougher than he is, and none of them can see much sense in studying when there are still chores to be done back home. There is a determination in Jesse, however, because his cousin, who once tried to teach in the same school, was driven out by a local bully, Guy Hawkins. With patience, with humor, and often with Hashes of brilliance, Jesse begins to excite his students about their work. His task is made difficult because he isnit any older than they are, because the same bully, Cuy Hawkins, is a constant threat, and, finally, because he falls in love with a girl in his class. In spite of some hi- larious setbacks, Jesse begins to win the whole valley to his program. Guy Hawkins, aided by a few local people who look on education as a waste of time, fights back. Then to make matters worse, Guy falls for the same girl that means so much to Iesse. In the midst of the excitement, humor, and rather colorful developments a strong case is made, indirectly, for the dedicated teach- er. This is an unusual play with a delightful conclusion.
