We present it to you not With the thought that your star will rise over Broadway, nor with- the thought that you will become actors in the professional sense. Rather we present the theatre as a means of putting life into form and of showing us the ways of life so well symbolized by the sad mask of tragedy and the happy mask of comedy. We present it also because we too feel All the worldis a stage, And all the men and women merely players? We hope you play your part welleto the very utmost of your ability. Whether tragedy or comedy prevails, remember that once the curtain goes up there is no turning back; there is only the finishing of this act and on With the next until the play is ended and the curtain falls. And sometime along the way, perhaps at intermission, you may ponder over the acts that have gone before. That is the time to open your Cougar Memoir of 1956 and relive the past. We have spotlighted these happy, formative years Which have come early in the play. We hope they will bring back happy thoughts. Now the lights dim, a hush comes over the audience, the curtain rises. There is the spotlight, so-on With the show. I 1f I . I f I , I : ' .s I 1 l I I I 1, I j I l E1 . ED U U L U !

Glunt as the superintendent of schools of the Charleroi School District. It seems strange to introduce a person so well known as Chippy? Most of us have known him as principal of Charleroi High School in which capacity he served so well. A friend to faculty and students alike, Mr. Glunt devoted much energy and time to make our school a better schooleone to which we can point with pride. Now, as superintendent, Mr. Glunt is continuing his fine work of making our school a good school. His duties are more numerous; the scope of his activities is greater; the demands of his office are tremendous. Yet, this is his part; it is a starring role, and he plays it in his very best manner. As a devoted faculty and study body, we wish Mr. Glunt success and happiness in his new tble position, and hope that it will be a long and prosperous run. Twenty-Nine 3A9 Superintendent :5 eddage The theme of your 1956 Cougar Memoir stimu- lates the imagination, for it can be spacious--itAll the worlds a stage . . 3i, and confined as the backyard performance of your childhood playersi group. In it are expressed all the shades of the human emotions from hilarious comedy and music to the deepest tragedy. You seniors have been studying your parts off stage, but now you are taking the final rehearsal. Y0u are about to walk on stage, in a minor part, that will lead to more important roles only when you are willing to understudy each succeeding part. For as Francis Bacon expressed it, uIn the theater of human life it is only for God and the angels to be spectators? All your life you have been personally directed by your parents, family, religious leaders, friends, and teachers,. They have given you the benefit of their experiences in hopes that it will help you in some way in the role which you are abOut to play. Alfred Tenny- son wrote, YI am part of all that I have met? MR. DAVID L. GLUNT Now you are advancing to the role where you are going to have to do your own thinking and directing. This must be learned and practiced. You are individuals and should think for yourselves. The conflict comes between conforming to mass opinion and trying to be different. Think for yourselves and decide what is right and then have the will to do it. Decisions will have to be made on many moral issues of your time. You will be called on to help decide many vital matters both personal and international. You will have to be morally strong andiversed in all the facts that will lead to sound judgment. You will have to study the roles played by men of the past and learn from them-first, from the greatest life ever lived, the life of Christ, to the roles of many others that yOu might learn vicariously from their experiences. In that way you are enlarging the part you will play. Your role will not be judged by the glamour, monetary gain, nor the importance of the role; but by the material nature gave y0u and what you accomplish with it. What you make of the role is now in your hands. Your teachers have every good wish for y0ur happiness and success. They will be part of the audience of your new role with a prayer that some of the advice that they offered will in some way help you in your decisions and in yOur part. The Cougar Memoir is a reflection of your accomplishments to date. Your sponsor and his staff have given it to you in the usual excellent manner; they are to be congratulated. f R 3A9 rinciloaf geaAA You have about completed the third scene of the first act of the drama of your life. It has been a great act, one in which you have been the principal actor; your friends, your co-stars; your home town and the school, the location of the act. It has been a fast moving act full of the real drama of a real life in Which you have played your part well and to the best of your ability. The three scenes have been all too short, for elementary, junior high, and senior high have come and gone in turn, each with its own crisis and victory. x- bN abr t ' Act two must follow. For some of you it means a c0ntinuation of preparedness for the main act, for others it may be the main act itself in which every scene is the unfolding of a thrilling part of lifeis drama. Sometimes life will be 21 comedy in which things have a natural tendency to bring pleasure and happiness. But often there will be serious moments when we must all realize that life is for keeps, and MR- EDWIN F- LUSE we play each part but once. I know that I speak for every member of the faculty when I say that we are glad to have had a part in directing you through the first act. To have known each of you personally, some- times intimately, has been :1 real pleasure, a genuine satisfaction. We have been very prOud of the manner in which you learned to play your part, of the habits, and skills y0u have acquired. We have been very anxious to see that your attitudes have been right, your determination strong. -. t 2- - 2' Proudly we have directed. Proudly we will watch you act in the scenes to follow. May it indeed be worthy of your very best. . I- ! Mr. Lusc, behind that office counter. Thirlyu0nc eclicaf ibeloarfment Health is of paramount importance to all of us.

Fogcl Entering its eighteenth year of publication, the Cougar Courier continued to win praise this year by its record of service to our school and student body. It faithfully printed all the school news that was fit to print. Each reporter aided in this by collecting the news events of interest including sports, gossip, alumni news, and all kinds of feature events. Much of the growth and development of the paper is due to the efforts and capable sponsor- ship of Mrs. Ethel Steiner. The members of the staff have also worked hard and long to make the Cougar Courier the success that it is. This year our paper is again a member of the Pennsylvania School Press Association.

Missiriotis One Hundred Five Every publication must have a business staff that is responsible for the financial end of the project. In our school we have a very capable staff performing this duty for both the Cougar Memoir and the Cougar Courier. The staff is to be congratulated on doing such a fine job. The work of the Business Staff is of a varied nature, but its chief responsibility is the so- liciting of advertisements for both of our school publications. They also sell and distribute the Cougar Courier. Although the sale and distribution of the Cougar Memoir are handled through the Memoir staff and senior homeroom chairmen, the Business Staff manages the finances. A new policy was inaugurated this year. Membership in this club is now limited to seniors and juniors only. A highlight of the club,s activities was a dance in April. The Club was again very capably sponsored by Mr. Joseph Dielsi. 4 We ....a The Business Managers, Maria Halkias and Sandra Rogers, did an excellent job. m m m JUNIbR MEMBERS lst Row-N. Paterline, G.

An oath is taken by each member to uphold this motto. It is their purpose to create, maintain, and extend throughout the home, school, and community high stand- ards of Christian character. The principal objective of this club is to seek, to find, to share. In trying to carry out this objective the girls have carried on various projects. At Christmas time, instead of collecting toys for orphans as in preViOus years, they collected personal items for orphaned girls their own age. Some of the activities of the club included a hay ride, several bake sales, parties at the meetings, and a Valentine Day dance.

Besides the educational value of this work it also brings variety and some entertain- ment in the classroom. Mr. Baird, the present sponsor, has been very capably directing this work since he started it in 193 8. He is assisted by two efficient secretaries, Tonia Paig and Dorothy Baka, and by three expert set-up men, Robert Smith, Edgar Hoffman, and Lowell Wadsworth. All the members of the A.V.A. give up valuable study periods to operate the machines. The club has modern equipment With which to show the movies. They have two 16mm pro- jectors, one an Ampro and the other an R.C.A., two film strip machines that show film strips and slides, two opaque machines, three screens, and P.A. outlets for projectors in the auditorium. AbOut 80 films have been shown this year with successful results. We commend the A.V.A. for its grand work. lst ROWeE. Hoffman, C. Ellis, S. Brown, XV. Ellis, R. Jurczak, B. Kichinko, L.
