Miss Hespenheide is a graduate of Grove City College where she received her Bachelor of Arts Degree. She had majored in Mathematics and has taught this subject here at Mars for many years. She has offered her generous and sympathetic guidance not only as a faculty member but also as a principal. to the students of Mars High School. We wish to thank you, Miss Hespenheide, for the warm and sincere interest that you have taken in us, and we truly feel that you have better prepared us for our future ahead. And so to you, Miss Hespenheide, the Senior Class of 1956, Want to express our sincere Wish for continued happiness and success in your future. 4 Miss Hespenheide received her degree at Grove City College where she majored in mathematics. 4 jmcwmal just as a tree springs from a seed planted by interested in- dividuals, so this book has grown and developed through the thoughts of the staff. We hope through our theme to weave the days of our high school career into the various seasons in order to aid you quietly and majestically back through many mem- ories. The pictures of the student body and their extra-curricular activities are placed into the various seasons. When the tem- perature changes so do the pictures. The book is divided into the following seasons: September, October, November represent- ing fallg December, january, February representing winterg and March, April, May representing spring. As spring draws to a close our school year comes to an end, but our memories linger OH. 6 MR.

Ed fs i Joofbal September 16 - Union came to Mars and we lost our first football game 20-0. The Planets started out good by scoring first, but the touchdown was called back because of a penalty and that seemed to take something out of them be- cause they couldnit get rolling afterwards. September 24 - The Planets traveled to Sharpsville for their first game away from home. They looked like a much improved ball team, but they just couldnit seem to get going, although they made some good threats, they couldn't push it across. The final score - Sharpsville 13, Mars 0. September 29. - The Planets went on their second away game to Darling- ton. They got off to a quick start in the game when they received the kickoff and in three plays Tim Koah raced 30 yards for a touchdown. The extra point was missed. The Planets kicked off and as the Darlington ball carrier was hit he fumbled and the Planets recovered. Five plays later the Planets scored again on a quarterback sneak by Rege Socash. After that the Planets couldn't seem to get going as Darlington scored two touchdowns and took the lead of 14-13. In the last quarter the Planets had a good chance to score but they failed. The final score was Darlington 14, Mars 13. October 8 - Because ofa heavy rain the game was postponed from the 7th to the 8th of October, and was played at West Deer. On the opening kick off, Carl Hazlitt ran 90 yards for a touchdown and that seemed to take something out of the Planets because they couldnit get started after that. Russ Spangenburg and Cuff Wiegand made touchdowns for the Planets. Final score - West Deer 35, Mars 13. October 14 - The sight of the annual Evans City-Mars game was not a pleasant one but it turned out good for the Planets because they won their first ball game. It looked bad for them in the early part of the game because Evans City started out fast to lead 9-0 at the end of the first quarter. In the second quarter Cuff Wiegand took a pass from Rege Socash and ran 40 yards for a touch- 38 football down. At the half time the score was 9-7. The second half was all for the Plan- ets because Tim Koah ran 30 and 50 yards for a touchdown. Cuff Wiegand ran 90 yards on a pass interception. Final score - Mars 26, Evans City 15. October 20-Zelienople Bears invaded the Planets for their last home game of the year. The game started out like a free scoring game because the first time we got the ball Rege Socash ran 20 yards for a touchdown. Then Zelie raced to score and tied the game 6-6. The Planets ran to the 1 yard with Cuff Wiegand leading, and Socash sneaked over. Zelie broke loose for two touch- downs to take the lead. From the 7-yard line Tim Koah went over for our third touchdown. Final score - Zelienople 25, Mars 18. October 29 - The Planets traveled to Freedom for their next away game. Freedom was a powerful eleven that night, but the Planets also looked good. On the third play Cuff Wiegand raced 70 yards for a touchdown which was called back because of a penalty. The Planets only scoring came when Tim Koah raced 30 yards for a touchdown. Final score Freedom 19, Mars 16. November 4-The Planets played their worst game of the year when they played at Plum Township. They just couldnit seem to get a scoring punch together. The Planets were weakened the week before by a strong Freedom team, and they weren't in the best of shape. November 11 - The Planets traveled to Millvale for their last game of the season. Millvale scored first but it didn't take long for the Planets to catch up. Cuff Wiegand took a pass from Psege Socash for a touchdown. Then late in the game Cuff Wiegand ran 10 yards for the last touchdown. The final score - Mill- vale 27, Mars 13. We would like to congratulate the following seniorsg Dan McQueen, Regis Socash, Russ Spangenburg, and Cuff Wiegand. We would also like to congratulate our coaches, Mr. Danser, Mr. Cird- wood, and Mr. Bitonti, and wish them success in the future games. 39 i G. A. A. Row 1: Mrs. Latshaw. S. Slater, B. Short, C.

The theme of their annual fall semi-formal dance was uAutumn Fantasyf, The theme song for this year's dance was the very appropriate Autumn Leavesf' According to custom, the grand march was led hy the president. Arlene 40 a Baker, and her date. The auditorium was deco- rated to represent a sidewalk cafe with a typical awning of brightly colored crepe paper and ap- propriate tables with a candle in the center. The dance proved to he a success with the auditorium filled with swirling couples, which included many alumni who had come hack for this event, dancing to the sweet and delightful music of Pete Bartoli and his band. The seniors wish to thank their sponsor, Mrs. Latshaw, for making their last year in the club a success. flazm, Pfzophcry, In 1976, twenty years after their graduation. four alumni from Mars High School decided to take a vacation from their work. They have been striving very diligently toward their goals, and now they are quite proud of their achieve- ments. Dr. RUSSELL WHITESIDE, accom- panied by Nurses LOIS EDDINGER and EV- ELYN LAWTHER, joined the photographer, DAVE HAWKINS, to go on a long trip. After re- turning to their various homes they have written an account about their many experiences on their tour. This is a first-hand account from letters they have written to their friends. As we embarked from New York City on the ship, the U.S.S. Planet, we were met by the porter, LLOYD GREEN. While on route to our cabins we saw Captain TOM HUDSON and his first mate, RON HUBER. We went to the dining room after getting situated in our cabins, and there we saw MARION COON as head cook. Later we saw a water show with the star BER- LENE LaFORCE. That night we were enter- tained by the great magician IOHN HUTCHI- SON. After a nice trip on board the ship we landed at Bermuda. We were met by the presi- dent of the Bermuda Short Company, REX- ANNE SCHNEIDER, with her three chief mod- els, ROBERT BLACKSTONE, BOB BOICE, and ALBERT KRAMER. We then took a taxi to the hotel. Our driver was BILL WOOD who introduced us to the doorman, ROBERT WHIT- LEY. That evening we were entertained at the beach by BETTY HAYS, the star of a popular water skiing show. Co-starring with her were ANNAMARY MAGEE, EDITH MAIER, and SUE DIETZ.v The next day was Sunday, and we Went to church. Much to our surprise we saw, in the pulpit, Rev. BRUCE COMSTOCK. Among the choir members were BILL OESTERLING, BILL REYNOLDS, and LARRY MCCAND- LESS? We said farewell to Bermuda and headed for the United States to see the Mardi Gras at New Orleans. As we enjoyed our flight we were visited by the pilot, IACK LEES, who had turned the controls over to the co-pilot, MILTON KOVAL. Our dinner was served by the hostess, DOROTHY MESHANKOY' On our way to the Mardi Gras we stopped at Fort Myers, Florida to see the Pittsburgh Pirates in their spring training. At the pitcher's mound we saw GUF F WEIGAND winding up to strike RUSS SPANGENBURG out. They were bound to win the series with HOMER BLYSTONE as their manager. After leaving the field, we were met by our old classmate, BILL KEYS, who invited us to his resort, The Gateway, for a nightis entertainment. That night we rented a car from the Vogel Car Agency and were per- sonally driven to the Gateway by PAUL bound- to-get-you-there-sometime VOGEL. We arriv- ed at the club around seven o'clock and were es- corted to our table by LUCILLE SETZEN- FAND, the hostess. The entertainment con- EMM Pfwphfw- sisted of the 3-X Cheerleadersv, BARBARA REMMEN, CAROLE ENGLISH, and MAR- GARET PORTER, doing the Cha-cha accomp- anied by DAVE NESBITT at the piano. After a very enjoyable evening, we were escorted to our car by JIM SCHMID, and were driven home to get ready for the exciting day aheadf, The next day we rose bright and early and went out to the tennis court where we were sur- prised to see WILEY MCKINLEY giving ESTH- ER HAYS some tennis instructions. After a strenuous morning of tennis, we boarded our plane and headed for New Orleans and the Mar- di Gras. Upon arriving we were very surprised with the gala festivities of the Mardi Gras. We walked down the street and bumped into REGE SO- CASH dressed like a dragon. Then we saw something that was supposed to resemble a snake which turned out to be MARGARET WOLFRAM, DON STAMM, and EVA TAY- LOR. While we were walking up the street we happened to spy the biggest and most beautiful float of all on which we saw the queen, ARLENE BAKER, and king, TOM BOGAN, with their six attendants, SUE SLATER, BETTY SHORT, PAT ROMAN, JUDY MERGANHAGEN, JA- NICE FERGUSON, and GAY GRAHAM. That night we went to the masquerade ball and saw DICK MAXWELL dressed as the Chief of Po- lice, fsome law we must have around herej, BOB COX and DAN MCQUEEN as the Mighty Mid- getsv, and NANCY VECCHARELLA, the Span- ish dancer, singing Lolita,'. Next We saw the terror of Highway 101, CHUCK KUSHNER. racing around the room chasing Maybelline, bet- ter known as JOYCE HENSELLK We said farewell to the Mardi Gras and boarded our train for Bumble Bee, Arizona. The conductor was REID MILLER, and the engi- neer was CARL SCHMIDT. Since we had Jne of the new jet-propelled trains, invented by GERALD ENSMINGER, we made the trip in eight hoursf, After making our residence at the Lazy MHS Ranch, we found out that BILL MCAFEE was its rough and tough proprietor. Everyone was glad we had arrived in time for their rodeo. We saw HELAINE BALL there with one of her prize steers, and who did we find riding it but ED ARMSTRONG. We saw DONNA GEORTZ riding her big palomino leading the parade fol- owed by SHIRLEY CHRISTNER and SALLY KENNEDY riding their twin chestnut horses. Doing some fancy trick riding were NANCY KIRBY and MARTHA MERCER. Our atten- tion was then attracted to an arena where RUSS HACKETT was seen roping a wild steer. After this exciting event a bull fight was scheduled with Wildv BILL BIERAU, the famous mata- dor, fighting Ferdinand the Bull. He seemed to have run into some difficulty so GAY never readyi' HARTUNG took over with his crazy mixed-up clown antics. Being interested in rid- ing we decided to take some riding lessons. Giv- ing instructions to the dudes were LOIS JEAN Klau WMPIWUI- HILCERT, SHIRLEY COLE, and JUDY COL- LINS. To our surprise we saw them teaching EVELYN STEEB, ROBERTA MYERS, and CLADYS RAPE. Since we were from way out east our names appeared in the society column of the Desert Star . We were amazed to find BILL WEICAND as the editor and MARY RUHL as society column writer. On our return trip by plane 'to New York we stopped at Washington D.C., our nation's capitol. Who should we find resting comfortably in the President's chair but LYN-baby WALT- ERS. Serving as the first ladyi' was IOAN TIN- DALL. The Presidentis secretary turned out to be JOYCE MASLOWSKY. Among the mem- bers of the Cabinet were ALICE COVENTRY and NANCY DIERDORF. The head of the treasury department was HARRY LAWTHER. Now We know where all of our money is goingf, We were going down Pennsylvania Avenue when we were stopped by that law abiding peace officer, BILL BAIR. When he recog- nized us as fellow classmates he said he would take us on a tour of this great city. First we went to see the Washington Monument. After a fine view of the city we started to walk down the stairway, instead of using the elevator. We happened to run into AUDREY DANNER and IOYCE KEIFER who were on their vacations from teaching. After leaving the monument we got into our car. just out of curiosity, we turned on our radio and heard the familiar voice of RONALD BLACK giving the latest news of the day. He related the facts about CAROLYN IOHNSON trying to get elected as the first wo- man president. Her running mate was DONNA LEONBURC. Suddenly, our attention was brought to a billboard on which was advertised the coming event of the world heavy-weight championship bout between HARRY BRAT- CHIE and LOWRY LEONBURC.', After a very exciting trip we returned to Mars High School to see how things had pro- gressed.

Vocational Agriculture was started in Mars High School eight years ago. The department has grown rapidly and is con- tinuing to grow. The F. F. A. chapter, the organization for and hy Voca- tional Agriculture students, serves to help boys to become better leaders for the organization and for the society in which they will live after high school. VVhen the F. F. A. first started in Mars, the lmoys only car- ried one or two projects. Today boys in the same course are carrying five or six projects. This will make the students better prepared to enter farming when they leave high school. This year we have added a new program to our regular Agriculture program, we call it junior Vocational Agriculture. Through this program we hope to give hoys in the eighth grades. of Mars High School and Middlesex School, a pre-course training in Agriculture and help them become established in a project program. The F. F. A. is under the leadership of Mr. Nlyer. F. F. A. Row 1: Mr. Myer, L. Green, I. Selunid, XV. McKinley, C. Schmidt, B. NVhitley, C. llartung B. Boice, D, Datt. Row 2: li. Kraus, B.

This was the second trip to New York by Mars High students. We departed from Pittsburgh by train and traveled all night. Everyone was so excited the first night that no one got any sleep. We reached New York in the morning and registered in the Governor Clinton Hotel. While in New York City, we had most of our meals at Child's Res- taurant. We took a complete tour of the New York Times Building where we saw how the news- papers are made. The New York Times is the biggest newspaper in the World. Their motto is that they print only the news that is fit to print. We went through the teletype room where news comes in from all over the world. They have their own radio station WQXR which plays only music. We took a three hour lectured yacht cruise around Manhattan. We passed near the Statue of Liberty with its beautiful coat of green. Sur- prisingly no one got seasick on the cruise. We were amazed to see how small our boat was compared to the liner U.S.S. United States, which In was docked along the wharf. We went on lectured tours through the Rockefeller Center where all the buildings are connected with underground passages and the United Nations Building where a lot of the im- portant decisions of our country are made. the Empire State Building we were taken to the observation tower from which we could see most of New York City. We took a bus ride through lower New York and later walked through China Town. While in China Town we went into a souvenir shop, but strangely, everything was made in japan. We were surprised to see that the Chinese lived in a completely different surrounding than the neighboring New Yorkers. At the Radio City Music Hall we were enter- tained by the Radio City Concert Orchestra and a stage play which featured the famous Rockettes dancing girls. We later saw a movie there en- titled Love Me or Leave Me with Doris Day and james Cagney. A few brave students decided to take a sub- way ride and everyone was surprised to see them back the same day. On our evening off we trav- eled around to see New York City at night. There are so many movies in New York that it is hard to decide which one to attend. On our last night in New York City we went to a radio show by taxicab. Those poor taxiesl They will never be the same again, since seven or eight students jumped out of each one. We arrived at the radio studio and saw The Disc Derby, a record program Where the visiting star was johnny Applewhite. Every one received a free record before they left the show. On our way to the Pennsylvania station to catch our train home, a few students seemed to have gotten misplaced. Can you imagine those poor New Yorkers with a group of Mars students at largef, VVhen train time came all students were accounted for, strangely enough. We departed from New York City at night leaving a lot of thankful New Yorkers behind. Oh, those poor bus drivers and lecture guides! We arrived at Pittsburgh in the morning and boarded Harmony buses for Mars. It was funny how everyone was so quiet on the way home. After a few days of rest we were as good as new and began thinking of all the fun we had in good old New York City. W, if .md-if F X ,ypndw 1...--guv' '-sk 1. lflm-ns. 2. Now. 3. W'iL-nic Roast. 4.
