Carol Shearer ., Madelon Speer, Ernestine Worhatch Dorothy Hoffman . . Shirley Shick 3 JDAQWDALL Our Theme this year is the Prison. You might say there's not much to look forward to with a Theme like that. We feel that we have at least our parole to look forward to. An then what- who knows? Some Yearbooks are Ships sailing out into the great un- known future with Skippers, and Mates, and Boatswains, and Pilots. But not us. Some Yearbooks are Comets blazing forth into space. But not us. No, we're a Planet, but yet different than a regular Planet. At first we shine with the light issued us by the Guards and War- dens and finally at our parole we shine with our own light that we have hidden away until the long awaited day. Some say ci Prison is the treadmill to oblivion. A place from which no bit of hope shines forth. Well, prisons are places of confinement, of discipline, of rehabilitation, or preparation for citizenship. School is like that. It has prepared us to meet our life after parole with confidence. One thing o prisoner learns to do is live one day at a time, hopeful of the day when he is free again, but just marking off each day. We are learning to live each day and to train ourselves for service. None of us expect to go forward with any blaze of glory because prisons aren't like that. We'll face each day as it comes an dplan and work for a parole. The Future will be there when we get to it. The Parolees of 1955 go Forward! 4 1 Um 'wma Oh, dear old Mars forever, Sturdy and staunch we'll stand For her we'll stand together Throughout the entire land, No matter what befalls us . . . We'll surely fight for fame We'lI go where Mars will call us! For Alma Mater's name! Oh, Mars, Oh Mars, our Alma Mater Oh Mars, Oh Mars, our Alma Mater For you, dear Mars, we give our all! For you, dear Mars, we give our all CLASS MOTTO The reward of a thing well done is to have done it. CLASS COLORS Charcoal and Coral CLASS FLOWER White Rose 5 O ln' The Senior Class of 1955 wishes to dedicate this edition of the Planet to you, Mr. Downie. Throughout these past several years you have been our Guide, leading us through paths unknown but always with some bright spot at the end. You have been one to whom we could turn, knowing that we will receive some solution to our problems, whatever they may be. Your cheerful disposition has been a valuable asset to the school and is certainly appreciated by the Senior Class. We congratulate you, Mr. Downie, on your sincere and con- stant strivings to succeed and to improve your interests in the school. We, the Senior Class of 1955, salute you, Mr. Downie, and wish you continued success throughout your years at Mars High and the future years beyond. 6 Qmlzkzahbn, Jalzla of L70 Foreword Dedication .. ,..... .... , .

Barrett to produce a unique yearbook. Early in the term, assignments were given to the members of the staff. The whole project was divided into various departments which worked on difterent articles and conducted the business transactions. Part of financing the publication was ac- complished by soliciting advertisements. Sev- eral groups canvassed nearby districts for sup- porters. The Editors and Feature Writers were kept busy mounting the pages of pictures and securing articles concerning the activities of the different clubs. The Calendar Editors summar- ized the events of each week and chose the most interesting happenings for publication. Mem- bers of the staff who participated in sports were chosen as Sports Editors and wrote about the activities of the football and basketball teams. The writing ofthe Class will and Class Prophecy took a lot of time and thought. All the divisions worked diligently and much time was spent in attaining the goal of completion of the yearbook. We would like to thank all those who made this yearbook pos- sible. We, the Planet Staff of 1955, now present to you, the students of Mars High School, our annual yearbook. Mr. Hudson, the Supervising Prin- cipal of Mars Boro Schools, attended Geneva College and received his Bachelor of Science Degree. He then attended the University of Pittsburgh. Mr. Hudson and Carolyn Jarrett, we appreciate the help and consider- ation that you have shown the gradu- ating class of 1955. Our last four years have been the most important in our lives and the ones we shall re- member the longest. Miss Hespenheide and Mr. Downie continued this year in their capacity as principals. Miss Hespenheide received her degree at Grove City Col- lege where she maiored in mathematics. Mr. Downie received his degree at University of Arizona and Penn State University where he maiored in agriculture. We, the Seniors of 1955, wish to congratulate you both on your splendid iob this year. 'I1 Mr. Andrew Wilson Campbell Geneva, Slippery Rock B.S. University of Pittsburgh M. Ed. Geography B, P. O. D.

The sponsors and homeroom teachers for the class are Mrs. Lintz, Mrs. McCloskey, and Mr. Girdwood. Members of the class are active in all of the clubs and groups. A large percentage are also in the Band and the various choral groups. The activity in which the largest amount of Juniors partici- pated was school sports. This year Juniors won letters in boys' football and basketball and girls' basketball. Under the direction of Mrs. Lintz, the class presented the annual Junior Play in the early fall. The play, Men Are Like Streetcars, turned out to be a surprising success for the class. The major plans for this year are directed toward a trip to New York City at the end of the school year. On June 6, the members will board Pennsylvania Railroad trains and be oft for a three-day vacation in the big city. 41 'JL gm, pmt, The title of the Junior Class Play presented this year was Men Are like Streetcarsf' It is a comedy in three acts, dramatized by Christopher Sergel and taken from the book written by Groeme and Sarah Loremer. The play was pre- sented in the high school auditorium on the nineteenth and twentieth of No- vember.

Maudie, the typical teenager, is continually trying to get her older sister, Sylvia, married off. In doing so, Maudie loses her own boy- friend, Davy, almost loses a contract for her father, turns her friends against herself and mixes everything up for Sylvia. After a hard learned lesson, Maudie discovers that no line is the best line and with this as her guide she regains her boyfriend and her friends, gets the contract for her father, and Sylvia finally gets her man. The hard work and cooperation of the cast, the directors, and the many committees made it possible to have a successful play, i Freshmen. Gab session. Smiling Sue. Good sfudenis. Groceries.

We received, free a guided tour of our high school, and after that we were on our own-for better or for worse. Home room, for all but the vocational agri- culture students, was the auditorium-tastefully decorated with tables and chairs. We heard about the famous bell even before we knew who our teachers were. Seats ranged from the altitude of the shelves to the stage. The voca- tional agriculture students-all 'I3 of them, had a private room in the Chicken Coop . Mr. Bar- rett, Mr. Holmok, and Mr. Garbart capably managed the auditorium and Mr. Meyer was in full command in the Ag room. Later in the year the class was split into two more home rooms- MWTAZW M?ff,ffw K and the Home Economics Room-with Mr. Gar- bart and Miss Chernay as home room teachers. Even though we were split into home rooms, there was always A-l cooperation between the officers and the class. After October we emerged cleaner, fresher, and with more shine and sparkle by selling fur- niture polish iust in time for fall housecleaning. Then in February we worked like the proverbial ant to make a screaming success of Them. At our first party we all got acquainted by playing games, dancing, and, naturally, eating. The climax of our second party was a scavenger hunt for things like limburger cheese, falselfin- gernails, and a filled diary. May we have another three years together as happy as this one has been.

The aim ot the Student Council is to represent the student body and to put into eftect their desires and is therefore one of the most important clubs in the school. The Latin Club which consists of 77 members had planned to engage in trips this year, but due to the lack of transportation these plans had to be halted.

The season opened with a win over Bessemer and was followed by a hard fought game with Union that ended with a three nothing K3-OJ defeat. The worst game of the season was with Freedom that ended in an over- whelming defeat for the Planets. Evans City was defeated and Zelienople tied to wind up the season. The Varsity team got new uniforms this year to go with their new yellow helmets. The Planets lose a number of Seniors this year-Dave Taylor, Paul Lewis, Wayne Mattern, Ron Neithercoat, Richard Papera, Ed. Datemasch, Jim O'Toole, Joe Rutkowski, Bob Penney, Chuck McCormick, and Bob Marsh. Thanks for doing a swell iob boys and good luck to the Planets for l956. This year the Mars' J. V. Planets under Coaches Girdwood and Thompson won three and lost three. Their good record shows that a winning team is coming up in several years. S C O R E S Mars 20 .,.,.

The team record was 14 wins and 12 losses. The Planets played 14 games in one of the best sections of basketball in West- ern Pennsylvania, Section 8. Ten of the 12 losses were by eleven points or less. Mars High also won the consolation trophy in the an- nual Tri-Ciunty Basketball Tournament. The team was ably coached by Mr. Alymer Girdwood, who iust finished his fourth year as head mentor. Mr. Girdwood was instrumental in building up this year's team as he has coached this year's Seniors since their Freshman days and had planned hopefully for this season. The team will lose several top performers through graduation. Among these are Dave Taylor, who at 6' 2 was the tallest member of the squad. Dave led the team in rebounding and also helped out considerably in the scoring. A6'a4lmtbalL At forward Mars will lose 5' 11 Don Wix. Don set a new scoring record as a Junior and broke his own record with 486 points his Senior year with an 18.7 per game average. Don also holds the individual scoring record for one game, with 34 points. This performance came in the Tri- County Tournament and broke the record for one game in that tournament. Don was picked on the All-Tri-County team along with Dave Wie- gand, a Junior, who made honorable mention. Also graduating this year is forward, Jim McFarland. Jim did a fine job whenever called upon. At guard, Mars loses Bob Marsh, who was a good set shot, and Ed Datemasch, who, although he was the smallest man on the team, a lot was seen of him on the floor. This year's team wishes to thank the coaches who spent a lot of their time to make this year a success. The graduating players want to wish the teams of future years a lot of success.

Sometimes when the going got rough we were fortunate to have Russ Spangenburg, Dan McQueen, and Lyn Walters to play for us. We hit some good teams this year and really enioyed the season. Chuck Croskey was our tallest man. He and John Davenport were our rebounders. Jack Lees, Tim Koah and Dick Fusca did most of the ball handling. The team this year was made up mostly of Sophomores who will be moving up to Varsity next year. Most of the time we used a man-to-man defense and once in a while a two-three zone. The team came through in winning eight out of twenty-three games of which three were league games. We averaged 33.5 points a game.

Bedtime?!? 75 'Flew Jlulu, During our Junior year, the class of T955 took the first trip that a class, as a whole, from Mars High has taken in many years. After discussing the matter for some weeks we decided to go to New York City. We wanted to see the Big Town and everything it had to offer. Arrangements were made with the Har- mony Shortline Bus Company for the trip to New York and plans were made for a schedule to be followed during the trip. We each paid 515 of our own and the other 510 was paid out of the treasury. We left Mars at 8:00 P. M., Friday, June 4, 1954 on three Harmony Shortline buses. Our trip really started then. Not many of us got any more than three or four hours of sleep that night. We made several stops at Howard John- son restaurants throughout the night we spent on the road. We arrived in New York City about 7:00 A. M. the following morning and checked in at the Hotel Belvedere. After break- fast we went down to the dock to see Charlotte Raab, our schoolmate from Germany, off for her trip across the Atlantic. Charlotte was seen off in good style and then we saw New York. So big it is! Our tour took 6V2 hours and covered everything from the Statue of Liberty to Central Park. All morning we rode around New York while a guide pointed out all the sights we had heard about for so long. We stopped at the Frick home to see the famous Frick collection of art that is almost priceless in value. At noon we visited the Statue of Liberty. We went out on the ferry-fno one got seasick.l The Statue is one of the most beautiful sights one could ever imagine standing so tall and erect and proud. Such a wonderful emblem of our country's freedom. It looks pure white until you get up close to it then you realize that it is actually a light shade of green. We landed on the island and a lot of us climbed to the very top of the statue and looked out through the holes in the statue's crown. If the ferry didn't make us seasick the stairs were enough to make us airsick. So small and windy they are!! When we got back to Manhattan we con- tinued our tour through Chinatown and the Bowery and the sights we hadn't seen in the morning. That evening we saw two television shows -Perry Como's show and Chance of a Lifetime. It was quite an experience to see what goes on behind the camera on a television show. That night was another almost sleepless night and what a night! You'll have to experi- ence one yourself to know what I mean. Saturday morning we saw a stage play, heard the Radio City Concert Orchestra, and saw the movie, Executive Suite in Radio City Music Hall. From the Music Hall we took an extensive tour through Radio City in Rockefeller Center. One of our experiences was riding to the top of the RCA Building in the world's fastest elevator. We stood at the top for a while and waited for our breath to catch up with us. Believe thee me, it is a fast trip! From the top of the building we could see both ends ofthe island and everything in between. After the tour of Radio City we had lunch at the hotel and then were free for the afternoon to do what we pleased. No one actually got lost but we heard some strange reports. Some of our brave boys lost themselves in the subway! New Yorker's don't seem to feel sorry for small town people lost in subways. I understand they're still wandering around in the under- world! We had dinner at the hotel and bid adieu to the wonderful East Side, West Side, the Bronx, and the Bowery of good old New York at 8:00 P. M. Saturday night. The poor bus drivers shuddered to see us but we weren't quite as full of zip this trip. We arrived in Mars at 6:30 A. M. Sunday morning and found our way home to spend the next week convalescing from the most wonderful experience a class could ever have. We would like to thank all those who helped make this trip possible and who spent a great deal of their time trying to make it a worthwhile trip. George Ball .. Regis Bogan Bill Booth ......

The club wishes to express their sincere hopes for success for the future years for Mars High School students. The Boys' Varsity Club was organized under the direction of Mr. Girdwood. The club presented the lettering Seniors with a varsity sweater with service stripes. The club earned money for the sweaters by selling programs at the football games and by sponsoring a varsity faculty basketball game. The varsity club wants to wish the coming athletic teams much success in the future. BOYS' VARSITY CLUB Row I, L-R: R. Neithercoat, D. Wix, J. Rutkowski, D. Taylor, E. Datemasch, C. McCormick.

This is the first year for all of them. The girls elected Gail Papera as their head cheerleader and she has done a fine job. Since jumpers are the fad this year, the girls bought gold material and made jumpers. For football, they wore the jumpers with the tra- ditional heavy blue sweaters over them. For basketball, they bought blue jerseys for under the jumpers. The cheerleaders got out the old mega- phones, painted them, and started using them again. Because the old cheers have been the same for so many years, the cheerleaders re- vised the cheers and added some new ones. In order to raise money for two senior's sweaters, the girls made and sold booster pins for the football games, and programs for the home basketball games. They also held dances after some of the basketball games. We sincerely thank you, the cheerleaders of Mars High, for your fine work at the games. .JL MM The Senior Play is composed of seventeen members of the Senior Class. The name of the play is Father Knows Best. It was adapted from the television production ofthe same name. It is a story of the Anderson's and all of their family difficulties. Betty, the oldest daughter, seems to be desperately in love with Ralph. They go out to a dance and Father is going crazy all the while because he thinks they have eloped. Patty Davis is in love with Bud who can't stand her. Mother is in desperate need of a new washing machine. Naturally we can't forget Kathy who contributes to the mischief. The high- light of the play gets under way when the officer of the law has to be called to track down their lost daughter, Betty. All of the members ofthe cast have worked very hard to make the play a success. They have been under the direction of Mrs. Lois Lat- shaw and under the student direction of Shirley Shick. 81 pfllb-UID 'Wbwlc .Y ff lx? -,ir 1 1 1 ' Kami The familiar melodies of the school song, Alma Mater, and other pieces which rang through the band room every homeroom period, were made by the Mars High School Band con- sisting of sixty members. Before school, in the month of August, the members spent many evenings getting ready for football season. A new idea was tried this year by combining with the chorus to form a half-time show. Included were lt's a Big Wide Wonder- ful World and The Battle Hymn of the Repub- Iic . We also marched in the Halloween Parade cmd in the Armistice Day Parade in Butler. A Christmas party was held in the school auditorium, at which we found Mr. Ebner to be real gone. Could it be the coo-coo clock that did it? After many long practices, the band ex- hibited their talents by presenting a concert on February 18. The performance was very enter- taining and highly received by the audience. We looked forward to the Spring Concert, which was an exhibit of our contest work. The band has been supported by the Band Mothers organization and through their help and our co-operation, you will see the band marching in brand new uniforms next year. jlaq Jwbtlefm, Another successful year of the flag twirlers has come to a happy end. The squad of ten girls who were all seniors proudly marched on the football field with their uniforms of blue cordu- roy skirts and white turtle neck sweaters. Barbara Bender, who has been a flag twirl- er for tour years, was elected leader. The girls worked together to have a success! ful year and an outstanding group. Baton jwbzlcfm, After another spectacular season of march- ing we are losing five capable senior girls. They are J. lnda, G. Ferguson, N. Swinderrnan, C. Sable, and B. Powell. Under the supervision of Mr, Ebner the Ba- ton Twirlers performed their outstanding twirl- ing ability. Georga Ferguson, who was leader ot the Ba- ton Twirlers, along with her squad was seen wearing the colors ot gold skirts and white turtle neck sweaters. pfzjauon, Brawl drtzkulzlm, 9 S-Lg, -CT . e ' 3 FV! .mg 1, ffwe mg! 1.WuifIngg 2.

In the Soprano section were Sylvia Schafer, Betty Lee Zimmerman, Madelon Speer, and Arlene Baker, the second Soprano section in- cluded Carol Sable, Sally Brannon, Barbara Wheeler, and Pat Roman, with Altos, Joanne Nolan, Gail Papera, Connie Farrell, and Helaine Ball. The girls met at noon on Wednesdays, and Thursdays with Mr. Ebner, their director. They took part in the Christmas program, The Nativity in which they sang, The Little Lamb which they used as their selected song for District Contests. Later, when the chorus was 87 asked to sing at St. Barnabas, they repeated the Christmas performance. The Ensemble also sang for the Mars P. T. A. and the Women's Lit- erary Society of Mars. They always sang for May Day and this year was no exception. The girls were constantly working on good tone and blend. Last, but of course, not least they would like to mention and extend their very sincere thanks for their director, Mr. Ebner, who was not only a fine director but a wonderful person to work under. He gave all his time and ability to make the group a success. We want to wish the girls much success in future years. lj. . Rowl: R. Miller, T. Nixon, T. Duzenski, N. Davidson, J.
