Since our community celebrated its Golden Jubilee last year and our schools will celebrate their fiftieth anniversary this year, it seems only fitting that we acknowledge the splendid strides with this pictorial summary. Our book will be divided into seven fields of school life. We salute the administration, the teachers, the outstanding sports, the many activities, the clubs that have remained constant, the seniors, and the community celebration. We have tried to break into ten year periods and arrange chronologically all Of the main developments that have contributed to our present school system. VVe realize that many will feel that a great deal has been omitted or that we might have substituted other things for what we have, but due to lack of knowledge and accessibility of ma- Dave N obers terial, we have been, to some extent, limited. We wish to thank the many people who have helped SUCCCSS.

O'Donnell X I A - Q The first recorded meeting of the Neals Independent School District was held in 1907. The officers and members of the first Board of Education were: Robert B. McMastersfPresidentg John J. Jarrett, Jr.- Secretaryg E. J. HarnmfTreasurerg J. A. Lawlerg E. P. Brennon and Mr. Buhot. At this meeting it was decided that a new building would be erected to fulfill the needs of this community. f In 1911 Midland Was named a 4th class school district and the size of the school board was set at ive. In 1913 the official name of the school district was changed from 'tNeals Independent School Dis- trict to Midland Borough School District. In 1914 the Board requested the secretary to Write out a standardized requisition form to be reported each year so that the Board would be informed on the financial status of the school. The Board first used the Committee System in 1915. They started with two Committees and in- creased until now, at present, there are five. The business-like procedure used by the board was due to the guidance of Mr. Frank Ketler-supervising principal. In 1921 the Board sent its first members to the School Directors' Convention in Harrisburg. Each year the Board has been represented by at least one member, the secretary, and a superintendent.

At the same time the Board rc- quested a superintendents commission for Mr. Ketlerq however, Mr. Ketler resigned, and the Board was forced to find a new superintendent. Out of many applicants, Mr. Harry Herlinger was selected as superintendent. At the same time two more members were placed on the School Board to bring the number of members to 7. In 1933 the Board passed a resolution which stated that Midland was against any legislation which would lead to larger units of administration affecting Midland. The School Board does not wish to givc up its independence. . During the past years the Midland School Board has done much to improve the schools of Midland. They have carried out the four principal responsibilities and objectives of all School Boards. The four are: to raise money, to hire teachers, to maintain buildings, and to improve the education system in any possible way. Surely no one can deny that the Midland School Board has made and helped to make much progress ovcr thc past fifty years. I.

The teachers hired in 1907 were Arthur T. Meeder, who was to teach and also act as principal for 380.00 a month, Miss Delores Reed, and Miss Martha Ralston. Before 1957, women that were married were not permitted to teach in the Midland schools. In 1937, a law was passed which per- mitted married women to teach, but did not approve of any woman wearing short skirts or bobbed hair. Since 1907, there have been over 500 teach- ers which have taught in the lVlidland Public School System. Many of our present teachers have lived in Midland all of their lives. There have also been a good many teachers which have passed away while teaching in our fine schools. Miss Mairgaret Hogan, the principal of Fourth Street School, has been a member of the Midland Schools for 40 years. Although she has taught the longest in Midland, there are many others who have been here for many years. Some of them include, Nliss Catherine Rutherford, Miss Ethel Pettit, Mrs. Gertrude Bonzo, Miss Cora VVickline, and Mr. Francis Lamberson. All of these teachers are still teach- ing in the Nlidland Public Schools and we hope that the rest of our teachers can set as good an example as they. Football and basketball were the first two sports offered in the Midland School District, both of which were started in 1919. Since the Fourth Street School was being used for high school classes, and because there was no gymnasium in this building, the upper room of the City Building was used for basketball games. In 1921 the school board agreed to install showers there for the basketball players. In 1923 the board agreed to allow 3100.00 to be used for athletic expenditures. By 1925, 3300.00 a year was allowed to be used for athletics. This in no way compares with the budget of today which provides approximately 33,000.00 for the athletic program as well as several thousand dollars for the improvement and maintenance of the football field. Track was first organized in 1926, and coached by Paul Lomond. By 1951, when the Mile Belay Team were the County Champions, the players had already received many awards and trophies. Since 1931, our track teams have continued to win many honors. In 1949, when the track records were revived because of new stadium facilities, Midland set many new records and still holds many of them. In coun- ty competition, Midland holds records in the 100 yard dash, 440 yard dash, 880 yard run, 880 yard relay, mile relay, and the broad jump. In 1953, the first night track meet to be held in Beaver County was held in Midland. This is called the Midland Invitational Track Meet and consists of all the neighboring schools. This track meet still occurs once every season. ' Baseball was not started until 1946. The team was coached by Mr. Wilson, and the first season produced a record of 4 wins and 7 losses. However, in 1947, the team won the section title. In 1949, a golf team was organized. Coached by Mr. Meyer, they played their home matches at the Ohio View Golf Course. Because of the lack of ex- perience, they lost all of their matches. Interschol- astice matches were discontinued after one year. 4 I 1 Sf. 4 , QQ .

Activities were created to give the students something to do in their leisure time, and to broaden their interests. Among the first activities which took place in Nlidland High School were lVIay Day, Yearbook. Band, and the Class Plays. Later the 'LYH Service Clubs and the Student Council were formed. These are two of the very important Clubs in our school. They were formed to pre- pare the student for leadership and service to his community after finish- ing school. Today, our club program meets every Wednesday during Activity Peri- od. Students are entitled to choose their own clubs according to their par- ticular interests. These clubs enable all students to get better acquainted and to get along with their fellow class- mates. 1947 A Cappella Choir l13l SENIGRS The Senior Class of 1917 was the first class to graduate from the Nlidland School District. The class of 4 girls and 1 boy graduated from the Neal School. The class was comprised ol' Grace liyons. Nlyer Silverman, Irene Yost, Eleanor Nlcfieehan. and Nlatilda Edmonds. Because of the difficulty in handling so many new pupils that were constantly moving into the dislrict, it was decided that new classes would be started in January. as well as September of 192-1. This meant that there were two graduating classes. one in January and one in June. This system con- tinued. until 1929 when there was only one grade uating class. Those who finished their work in .January were held over and graduated with those who finished in June. The two semester plan was discontinued entirely in 1930. and the grade level of all pupils in the school district was determined on the basis of previous achievement. The Class of 1927 was the first class to graduate from the new Nlidland High School. Through the past forty years over 3,500 students have graduated from Nlidland High School. Nlid- land can be very pr'oud of the many outstanding persons who have graduated from our fine school. and have made names for themselves. The Class of 1956 had the unusual distinction of graduating six sets of twins. This year. the class of 1957 is honored to have the tenth member of the largest family ever to graduate from N1idland High School. The old graduates pictured on the following pages are only a few of the many, many. outstand- ing students which have graduated from our high school. l 1 gy y.

It was a very small frame building. As Midland quickly expanded, more room was needed, so another frame building was built at the site of the present Tonti Hotel. At this time the names of the schools were changed, the first building was called No. 1, and the new building No. 2. Before long, the rapidly growing community outgrew both buildings. Plans were made to erect another frame building at Seventh Street. This was called building No. 3. Building No. 1,s services were discontinued, and Buildings No. 2 and No. 3 were used. Even after the new school was built, it soon became overcrowded. ' By September 1908, a new brick building was constructed which was called the Neal School. Elaborate plans were made for the dedication of this building. The streets and store windows were decorated, and badges and souvenirs were purchased for the occasion. By 1911, the classrooms were very overcrowded. Every day new students were being added to the rolls. By 1912, the condition was so bad that temporary classrooms in three other buildings had to be rented. Building No. 2 was sold to the people, and converted into what was the first Catho- lic Church in Midland. Building No. 3 was used for storage. The Neal School, or Seventh Street School as it is now known, is the oldest school in Midland, and has been the place of education for many children for the past half century. Many teach- ers have offered their services there and the present faculty includes: Mrs. Jean Marx-third grade, Miss Inez Bonnessi and Miss Mary Conlon-second grade, Mrs. Matilda Jewell and Miss Mary Pasternak-first grade, and Mrs. Evelyn Mahoney-kindergarten. l2Ol ....4....,................,..,.4 I 1954 School Board Y -1 1Pieturc Above! an K ,,,,,, Q ' Alhl i l,el't. to right.: Standing are Mr. .

SCHOOL BOARD The school board was first organized in 1907. Because of its size, Midland was classified as a fourth class school district, having six members on the school board. In 1928, Midlands classification was changed from fourth class district to third, because its popula- tion was over 5,000. As a third class district, Midland was entitled to a seven member board, a-nd such has been the case sincc 1928. Since 1907, there have been approximately seventy-five people that have served as members and offi- cers of the Midland School Board. The School Board is a very important part of our community today. Along with appointing teachers and a superintendent, they work along with them to promote the general school system. They take the responsibility of spending money, so that the students of the Midland Public Schools will enjoy the best of educational opportunities. i211 Present Principal-William A.

Bazard, Doctor R. H. Jewell, Walter Patterson, David Snyder, W. P. Dershimer, and our present princi- pal William A.

Miss Helen Disdore is Mr. Walters' efficient secretary. She was graduated from Midland High School in 1954, and has been working in the principals office for two years, Miss Disdore is not only a fine secretary, but also a favorite with all the students. 1221 4 ER 'I'I, 'I958 HIGH SCHOOL 'NEWS NOTES Honor Rall William A.

This building was to be located at Fourth Street and Ohio Avenue. By the start of the 1917 term, the building was so nearly completed that it was put into use. By February, 1918, the school was completely finished, but it wasn't long before it was found inadequate to house the growing school population. Contracts were sent out in .lune and July for bids on a new addi- tion to the school. At this time, our country was engaged in the First World War, so the building was de- layed. WVhen it was completed, it was used as a combination elemetary and high school until the new high school was built in 1926. Since 1928 it has housed all the fourth, fifth, and sixth grades in the entire school district. In March, 1919, the school board sent a letter to the Borough Council instructing them to put in sidewalks around the school. In 1952, new gas fired boilers were installed to improve the heating of the building. Each classroom was also equipped with modern fluorescent lighting fixtures after the building had been Completely wired. The teachers that are presently teaching at Fourth Street School include: Mr. William H. Lohr, Miss Ethel Pettit, and Mr. James VVilson-Fourth Grade, Mrs. Gertrude Bonzo and Mrs. Cecilia Steeves-Fifth Grade, Nliss Karen Oberg and Miss Catherine Rutherford-Sixth Grade, Mrs. Mae Rutherford-Special Class, and Miss Despena Gagianas-Music Supervisor. The teachers at First Street School include: Miss Cora VVickline-Kindergarten, Miss Ethel Emerick and Mrs. Alberta Gregor-First Grade, Mrs. Helen Bradfield and Miss Esther Mc- Leavy-Second Grade, Mrs. Irene Steinacker and Mrs. Mary E. ZapsicvThird Grade. Miss Margaret Hogan is the Elementary Supervisor. l46l at is m es.- 71' E I an 1 W X l OLD STAGE CREW Row 1---K. Bussard, D. Adkins, M. lVIit.r'oViCh. Row 2-L. Dawson, J.

STAGE CREW The Stage Crew is a group of hoys which together perform a service to the school via assembly pro- grams, plays, and other outside entertainment. This group of boys was first organized in 1929 under the sponsorship of Frank Rohmer. It was comprised of three boys from the wood shop and three from the metal shop. Today there are many more boys who take part in this active organization which is now sponsored hy George Ordich. M71 V .-Lx. .. VARSITY l'IIIiERI.lCADERS Row 1 P. Tepox'ic'h, G. Krixzm, P.

This year, even though we had only two lettermen re- , turning to the squad, we finished the season W holding second place in Section 8.

RODIS The first yearbook in Midland High School was published in 1923. It was a paper-back book published seven times a year and called The Arrow. It was discontinued in 1928. . From 1928 to 1945, there was no yearbook at all. Then in 1946 they decided to publish another yearbook. A contest was held to find a name for the new book. A senior, Eileen Roach, won the contest by naming it Rodis. This stands for R-rcminiscenses O-of D-days I-in S-school. Eileen not only named the Rodis, but was also the first editor. This year the Rodis is sponsored by Miss Mary Elizabeth Wagner, the business and advertising is under the direction of Mr. Dennis Cambier. We, the staff, would like to thank them for their kindness, consideration, and help in making our 1957 Rodis a success. We also would like to thank Don Parker, our photographer, Arc Engraving Company, The Tribune Printing Company, our advertisers, and all the people who have given us so much cooperation. .- :ages 'iz-, ,, ' ,-s.:Qi':::..,. 655:21-i:!?'Q:'g:i:5:-:..:2355.522-':i2::.i'::2 122 ffl -1 I- -' - iii 'f 2 ' iff 2-.-: .V-1 .... - . . . r- .1- .:?

On the ground floor is the domestic science room, manual training workshop, storage rooms three large classrooms, and the boiler rooms. On the main floor of the building is: the office of the medical inspector, a large study office of the medical inspectors, a large study room and library combined, one large class room, one small class room and offices. The main floor of the gymnasium is on the same level as that of the main floor of the building. In this gymnasium are the boys, showers and locker I rooms, the girls' showers and locker rooms and the office of the physical directors. The bleachers will seat from four to five hundred people. The auditorium has a stage thirty-six feet wide and twenty feet deep and is provided with two dressing rooms. The auditorium will seat between eight and nine hundred persons. The auditorium and gymnasium have separate entrances and can be cut off from the classroom section by closing the doors into the hall. The third floor of the building contains two regular classrooms, the Commercial department, in- cluding a bookkeeping and typewriting room, and a large laboratory to be used for chemistry and physics. On July 12, 1945, the board purchased nine acres of land from the Crucible Steel Company, at the eastern end of Midland Avenue for the purpose of building an athletic field and stadium. The first game in the new stadium was played on Septem- ber 10, 1948. In the fall of 1953, the new INIusic Forum was completed.

In 1931 the Mile Relay team won the County Championship and were sent to the Penn Re- lays at the University of Pennsylvania where they took second place. Today the Mile Relay record is still held by the Midland team. This season at the District Meet at Slippery Rock, the Mile Rc- lay team, composed of Leroy Turner, James Petties, Bob Stevenson, and Milan Lona, set a new county record of 3:37.9. Also at this meet in which 9 schools participated Turner took second place in the 440-yard dash. At the County Meet, Midland took second place among 7 schools with a total of 48'Ws points. Midland's track team, under the fine coaching of Mr. Thorne, had another very successful season. TRACK SCHEDULE-1956 Midland 5695 ..... Sewiekley 52 UQ Midland 53 . Ellwood City 47 Midland 70 . .

The program was carried out to the theme of Through the Years and was the history of Midland portrayed through the art of dancing. The program started with the Indian dances symbolizing the first settlers on Midlands soil. Then came the Gay Nineties, and with the coming of the steel mills many people of all nationalities settled here. Some of these national dances were performed. Follow- ing this were the dances of the Roaring Twentiesf' and the present trend---Rock and Roll. The music was provided by the band under the direction of Mr. Charles P. Henderson.

Be- fore 1938, there was a Girls' Chorus, Boys' Chorus, Fourth Street Choir, and a combined High School Chorus. Today the choir, which is still directed by Mr. Deffen- baugh, is one of the fine musical groups in our school, They have presented us with many entertaining pro- grams. The Choir not only presents a program at Christ- mas and in the spring, but also provides music for Bac- calaureate, and Commencement. Last year for the Golden Jubilee Celebration, the Midland High School Choir, along with the Crucible Male Chorus, and the Johnson Singers, gave a concert in the park. The picture above is of the combined choir and orchestra of 1938.

ORGAN CLASS The new Hammond organ was installed in the high school auditorium on December 1, 1954. It was played for the first time by Mrs, C. Lloyd Deffenbaugh at the Open House and Christmas Choir Concert. ln January ol' 1955, the first organ class was organized and taught by Mr. Deffenbaugh. The class consisted of Louis Doutt, Jackie Lovejoy, Marilyn Silverberg, Jeanie Ketterer. Corrine Reid, and Sandra Moll. In February, Johnny Mitchell came from Pittsburgh to play a concert for the students. Mrs. Deffenbaugh began giving organ lessons in the fall of 1955. This year a new set of chimes was installed which are played for devotions every morning. The organ is not only used for devotions. but for choir concerts, open houses, baccalaureate, commencement, and other special programs. x IUHI 1- AUDIO VISUAL AID The A. V. A..

H19 I Not only are the schools of Midland cele- brating their 50th Anniversary, but also the community of Midland. Midland became a town in 1906 and started schools in 1907. Through the past 50 years, Midland has made a reputation of having both a fine community and fine schools. These are some of the pictures depicting many of the activities which took place at the Golden Anniversary Celebration last July. We would like to congratulate the people ol' Midland on having built such a fine coni- munity in the past 50 years. May the next 50 years show just as much progress. Illll f... m a-S+ I-1 is A i v .
