SCANNING THE PAST As we look back on our happy, carefree high school days, floods of wonderful mem- ories come to mind. Although we can never recapture the reality of these memories, we will try to recall them as vividly as possible starting with our sophomore year in Monaca High School. We took over the role ol underclassmen under the guidance ol Mrs. Rock, our sponsor, and the leadership of the class officers: Rich- ard Dockter, James Moore, Mary LeDonne, and Toni Marotti. We soon became an active part ol the high school with the girls partici- pating in G.A.A. activities, and the boys tak- ing part in the sports of the school. On Janu- ary 7, we received our beautiful class rings with the Indian crest. The annual spring party with the freshmen concluded a very happy and enjoyable year. “ I ime marches on” as the old adage goes. It was in the fall ol 1951 when we entered Monaca High School as upperclassmen, an honor we had long awaited. Under the guid- ance of our principal, Mr. Groleau, and with the assistance of our class officers: Richard Dockter, Richard Yorkovich, Betty Lou Grim, and Kathleen Hall, many money-making pro- jects were undertaken. loiter in the year, Mr. Reader became our sponsor. On April 15, a talented cast presented our junior year class play, Mumbo Jumbo,” which was ably di- rected by Mrs. T. Roger Dever, assisted by Frances Lynn Dalzell, the student director. In a beautiful setting of Pink Paradise, the pink and black motif of the Junior-Senior Prom, we entertained the seniors with whom we had enjoyed pleasant fellowship during the year. The merrymaking was continued at the annual Post-Prom parly s|xmsored by the Monaca Post-Prom Committee at the Monaca Turners Hall. After a wonderful summer vacation the class of 56 returned to perhaps the most mem- orable school year of all. I'hc class responsibi- lities were shared by the members of the class who were divided into committees. Under the direction of Mrs. Locke, sponsor and advisor ol our class, and the co-operation of its mem- bers, the football programs were published, the Acanoni staff organized, the respective du- ties ol the various committees performed by early September. During the year the students enjoyed faculty-planned educational trips to various institutions and industries. The annual Football Queen Dance held in November, featured Betty S|x ht crowned Football Queen by James Moore. In a final show ol dramatic ability, the senior class pre- sented Tomboy” on October 28. The senior c lass play was under the capable direction ol Mrs. Dever and the student director Judith Mateer. Among the memories of the final social events of our senior year, we emphasize the Junior Senior Prom in the high school gym, the senior banquet at Sheffield Towers, in Aliquippa, and the Queen of May dance. I he Senior Glass Day .Assembly concluded our school activities and forcibly brought to mind that our high school days would soon be just another page in the school’s history. Baccalaureate services held May 27 made us conscious that this was the culmination of our high school life. As we received our diplo- mas at the Commencement exercises on May 28, we offered a prayer of gratitude to those who made these high school days possible for us. 28
