Many have sensed that within the atom a powerful force is held captive, and have searched for ways to free this energy so that it could be harnessd to serve useful purposes for mankind. ln the complex uranium atom, the answer was finally found. It took many years and many minds to make atom- ic energy a reality. Today, we look to the atom for a multitude of far-reaching developments. It promises us a longer and healthier life . . . more abundant food . . . a new source of heat and power . . . and a better understanding of the world in which we live. To help fulfill these promises, a great industry is being built. On the first and last pages of this book you will see the layout of Shippingport, America's first commercial nuclear power plant to generate electricity. Shippingport, only twenty-five miles from Pittsburgh, is adding its contributions to that great in- dustry, by putting the atom to work. All America is volunteering its help and showing the world its sincerity in the dedication of the atom to the cause of peace. We the class of 57 are trying to show that our generation and the genera- tions to come will be the ones to continue to delve into the very nature of the universe, the unlimited horizons in atomic research. And in order to do so we need a well-rounded education for we are on the threshold of an exciting new age . . . an age in which we hold the atom in our hands. 4 M k Potential Raw Material Q5 ' Q it 'gi X -h QQ ' t I X 1 Cl C I A Trigonometry Class Chain Reaction TYPing Class 'A-,'VW A- None of that Marge.

With a cheery smile, and a wave of the hand, He has wandered into an unknown land And left us dreaming how very fair It needs must be, since he lingers there. And you - Oh, you, who the wildest yearn For an old-time step, and the glad return, Think of him faring on, as dear ln the love of There as the love of Here. Think of him still as the same. I say, He is not dead-Qhe is just away. James Whitcomb Riley We, the Seniors of Monaca High School, dedicate this, our 1957 Acanom, to the memory of our friend and classmate, John Schneider.

Some of the projects were selling basket- ball pins and creating a new constitution, handbook, and club directory. The Council also acted as an in- termediary for the administration, clubs, and stu- dent body. The Council, consisting of the president of each club and class representatives, chose the following officers: Anne Harper, president, Nick Cutich, vice president, JoAnn Petrella, secretary, and Connie Verostek, treasurer. A mock election and Football program were the first activities of the Student Council. A basketball program in co-operation with the Varsity Club. was also presented. Before being dismissed for Christmas vacation, the student body was entertained and participat- ed in the Christmas program. At various times throughout the year programs were presented. Meetings were held once a month at which time committee chairmen discussed their projects, bills, and school activities. Thanks goes to all those club presidents for helping the Student Council to be bigger and better this year than in many past years. Thanks also to Mr. Kiefer who gave much time and patience to the members and officers of the Student Council. 23 SCN :'ASsQ,-1- fm WMA G.A.A.

There was not a dull moment as the county rivals eliminated each other from the W.P.I.A.L. race. Freedom scored their first and only touchdown in the third period on a fifty-one yard run, but Monaca avoided defeat, when DeVincentis climaxed an eighty-one yard drive in the final frame. Palombo got the longest gain, fifteen yards on a fullback draw. Makowiecki got the important extra point for Monaca on a plunge. Monaca's defence played a good game. Palombo, Fronko, and DeVincentis shared the ball carrying for the Indians. RAMS NIP MONACA 7-0 In a persistant heavy rain the Rochester Rams defeated a tough Monaca football team by a slim 7-0 margin before a capacity crowd at the Monaca Memorial Stadium. The Rams scored their lone tally late in the first quarter after recovering a Monaca fumble. Their place kick was good. Rochester threatened strongly in the second period, but was stopped by the strong defensive line of the Monaca Indians. DeBacco played a sparkling defensive game. Monaca's strongest bid came halfway in the final period. Nick Cutich fumbled which the Rams recover- ed. CORAPOLIS TOPS MONACA 12-6 Monaca High School is still looking for its first victory of the season. The passing of the Blue Devils Quarterback, Larry Lanza, proved too much for the Indians to overcome. In the second quarter Lanza passed to right end Cumpston for the first touchdown of the evening. The extra point was incomplete. Maxwell scored their second touchdown but the extra point was stopped short. Monaca's touchdown climaxed a 76 yard drive re- quiring five plays. Robertson ripped off I7 yards and then Cutich fired a 23 yard pass to end ,lim Irons. Cutich then passed again and this time to Nick Mako- wiecki who was downed on the 8 yard line. Robert- son then carried it over. The extra point was no good. Neither team threatened seriously at any time dur- ing the remainder of the game. Fumbles proved very costly to the Indians. Nick Makowiedki was a rugged line backer for the Indians during the entire game. MONACA CRUSHES BETHEL 35-6 Monaca Indians recorded their first victory of the season in a convincing battle by a 35-6 margin over Bethel Township on the winners field. John Palumbo copped a seventy-three yard drive with a one yard plunge for Monaca's first touchdown midway in the first period. Nick Makowiecki drove off a tackle for the extra point. The second tally came when Nick Cutich, quarter- back ran to the left end and fired a good pass for twelve yards, to Pippy Robertson. Makowiecki again hit the line for the extra point. Before the second half ended Wal Barr intercepted a Bethel pass and returned it to the visitors sixteen yard line. Two plays later Makowiecki went around end for the third touchdown. Palombo plunged for the extra point. Robertson zoomed around his right end for fif- teen yards to score the fourth touchdown. A pass from Cutich to Jones was good for the extra point. The Indians drove sixty-four yards for their final touchdown following Bethels kickoff. Cutich threw his second T.D. pass to Jones in the end zone. Palombo plunged for the extra point. 7 Evans made Bethels lone T.D. late in the third frame. Their placement was short. Their drive was highlighted by two passes by quarterback Jamison. The Monaca Indians showed a great improvement over previous games. MONACA KNOCKS MIDLAND FROM CLASS A RACE Before a jammed packed crowd on the Monaca Field Saturday night the aggressive Monaca Indians eliminated the Midland Leopards from the W.P.I.A.L. Class A football race. A high pass from center spelled disaster for the Leopards in the thrilling game. Midland took an early 6-0 lead in its battle for survival in the title race. After driving 69 yards Pre- sutti capped the drive by going over the one yard line through center. Their all important place kick was short. The Monaca Indians dominated the entire first half as they ground out our 104 yards and 8 first downs. Both teams turned in fine defensive play, but neither threatened seriously. Monaca,s ace passer Nick Cutich, was in fine throw- ing form for the contest. He completed six tosses for a total of 120 yards in 15 attempts. Each toss hit for a first down. He hit end, ,lim Irons three times, and end, John Jones twice, and one to Pippy Robert- son. 58 Bright spots in the Monaca Defense were the ends who blocked lVIidland's dangerous end run plays. Randy Robertson. sophomore end, looked very promis- mfr. bThe crucial break of the game came with four minutes gone in the fourth quarter. Beresic of Mid- land, who was back to punt, fumbled a high pass from center. He was smeared on his 16 yard line where the Indians took over on downs. Five plays later full- back Nick lVlakowiecki of lVIonaca charged his way over the goal from one yard out and then plunged for the extra point that gave the Indians their margin of victory. The ball carrying duties of lVIonaca were carried chiefly by Makowiecki, Palumbo, and Robertson. Thus, the Monaca Indians chalked up their second and im- portant win of the season. MONACA SWAMPS HOPEWELL 31-7 The Monaca Indians racked up their third con- secutive victory in impressive fashion by whipping Hopewell High School 31-7 before about 2,000 fans in Aliquippa Stadium. The Vikings twice penetrated inside the lVIonaca five-yard line, but poor ball handling as well as an inspired Indian defense, prevented a Hopewell score until only seconds before the game ended. The pitching arm of quarterback Nick Cutich ac- counted for three lVlonaca touchdowns. Cutich hit his receivers eight of the 13 times he threw. Right end John Jones twice took aerials in the Viking end zone between the outstretched arms of the defending backs for the first two Monaca scores in the second quarter. Both touchdowns came on plays that began on the Hopewell five-yard line. A 17-yard pass from Cutich to halfback Pippy Robertson gave lVIonaca its third touchdown as the Indians marched 64 yards in six plays after receiving the second half kickoff. Late in the third period, John Palumbo, halfback, climaxed a 78-yard march by crashing over end to score from 16-yards out. A pass from Cutich to Robert- son accounted for 49 yards to set up the touchdown. The Monaca front wall opened up a gaping hole for which Nick Makoweicki plunged through to score the Brunomen's last touchdown. Palumbo plunged for the only extra point of the Indians. Hopewell's only T.D. came late in the third period when Leroy Darner traveled around right end for the points that averted a shutout. MONACA VR. BEAVER 7-6 Monaca High's Gridders edged the Beaver Bob- cats, 7-6, in a heated thriller to record their fourth straight victory of the season before a full house Saturday night at the Monaca field.

The rings, the ring committee pick- ed this year, were of a new design and almost all the students liked them. The ring committee was made up of Ralph Riedel, Sue Ann Griffen, Michael Fields, and Sandra DeLuca. Jeanne Nestich and Levina Groves, our sopho- more cheerleaders, led the cheers of the sophomores during the football and basketball games. Along with the cheerleaders, Roberta Fronko and Donna Beckman, our sophomore majorettes, added their talents to the fine Monaca Band. Not only the girls but also the boys contributed to the success of the sophomore year. The experienced sophomores form- ed the center of a strong football and basketball team at Monaca High School. Along with their other activities, the sophomore class also sponsored the playing of popular records during the halftime of some of the basketball games. The climax to this joyous sophomore year was the annual freshman-sophomore dance. We hope that when these sophomore days are over you will look back at this page and remember the wonderful times of your sophomore year and also the friends who shared this year with you. Row One: C.

PZ ,f 17 T rw ' la W MTW ,J W 1 H4 At the beginning of the school year the Jun- iors held a meeting for the purpose of electing a sponsor. ln the election Mr. Ralph Cantelmi was chosen and elected. The class officers for the school term 1956-57 are: President-Robert Fron- ko, Vice President-Michael Peshut, Secretary- Rhudell Forrest, Treasurer-Sally Johnston. The activities of the Junior Class have been slightly impaired because of the tight schedule for the use of the gymnasium. The first activity of the year was the annual candy sale. There were two orders taken, one in October, for Hal- loween, one in the latter part of November and the early part of December for Christmas. The first class dance was held in November, and we are happy to report that it turned out fine. There are a few more dances scheduled for the remain- der of the school year. Row One: S. Majors. P.

The Junior Class play is to held in the Spring. lt has not been decided as yet what type of a play is to be had, but whatever the play may be we sincerely hope it will turn out as well as the senior class play. The main event for all of us Juniors shall be the Junior-Senior Prom held this year in May. We hope to have a large crowd of Juniors and Seniors. As the opportunity has been afforded us we would like to thank Mr. Cantelmi for being such a wonderful Hpalw and sponsor. Also a little word of advice to the coming juniors. 'gBe preparedf' The Juniors of 1957 would like to wish all of the sophomores the best of luck in their junior year. iu AA Sponsor , , lVliss lVI.

Seniors '4One for all and all for one. . . This motto was the guide of the Senior Class. They strove to keep their motto working at all times, especially through the trials and tribulations of just being a senior. lVIany hours of tedious and hard work were spent by this class, who were also in charge of the football crowning and dance. Wat it a success? It certainly was. The Class Play! The Senior Class worked hard and were well rewarded for their efforts. The Class put forth its greatest integrity towards the 1957 Acanom. The staff was composed of the whole class. Revisions and changes were made to make this what it is - the best ever. Although only a few of their activities have been mentioned the Senior Class of 1957 will go out in this world, some to institutions of higher learning, some to the business world, and some as homemak- ers of tomorrow. Vlfhatever their chosen paths may be, they will work well remembering their motto, NOne for all and all for one. . .W C. Scassa. Xl. Short. 86 We, the Seniors ....

SENIOR CLASS ECHCE Freshmen - 1954+ We took the role of freshmen under the sponsorship of Mrs. Doris Sowash and the leadership of our class officers: Nick Cutich, Sally Waxler, Marge Waxler, and Sylvia Kovac. The first social ac- tivity was a Halloween dance. Another highlight was the Valentine Dance, at which Priscilla Wasil- ko was crowned queen, and Jay Romigh, king. The annual spring dance with the sophomores con- cluded a very happy and enjoyable year. Sophomores - 1955 As our sophomore year rolled by, our ties with the school became more closely knit. Our class officers, Gene Scassa, President, Nick Cutich, Vice-President, Barbara Davis, Secretary, and Anne Harper, Treasurer, contributed much to our class welfare. We were especially proud of our cheer- leaders, Sylvia Kovac and Joan Dettore, and our high-stepping majorettes, Madeleine Howell and Marge Waxler. Soon after we augmented our treasury with our spring candy drive, our year closed with the annual Freshman-Sophomore dance. Juniors - 1956 Then, in the fall of 1955, we returned to school as juniors happily anticipating only one more year until we would become full-fledged seniors. Our junior class sponsor, Mr. Reader, and the class president, Robert Zupsic, placed emphasis on the great need of increasing our class funds, therefore, we began with a candy sale with the proceeds going to the junior-senior prom. On April 13, we suc- cessfully presented our play, The Curious Savagesi' under the able direction of Mrs. Clifford Teets. Much planning was spent in preparation for our junior-senior prom, Devil or Angeli' which was our way of bidding farewell to the class of '456 . Seniors - 1957 As our summer vacation came to an end, we were faced with the responsibility of many im- portant senior projects. With the help of our officers: Robert Zupsic, president, Nick Cutich, vice- president, Nancy Mangin, secretary, Sylvia Salinshiek, treasurer, we completed the work on our football programs. Now under the guidance of our new class sponsor, Miss Margaret Smith, we elected an Acanom Staff and began at once on our yearbook. Janice Leonard held the position of Editor and Bill Swager, Business Manager. On November 3 we presented our Senior Class Play, Curtain Going Up , directed by Miss Elesa Henkin. We enjoyed a successful football season with lively school spirit exhibited by our student body. At the completion of our football season, Alice Jean King was crowned Football Queen by King, Nick Cutich, at our annual Football Dance on November 8. As the forthcoming basketball season approached we looked forward to the same success we had last year. In order to increase our funds the Senior Class undertook the project of selling re- freshments at the games. Our last social events included the crowning of our May Queen, the Senior banquet, and the beautiful Junior-Senior Prom given in our honor by the Junior Class. The senior Class Day Assembly marked the end of our school activities and we grudgingly re- linquished our title to the Class of 1958. Baccalaureate services held on May 26 and Commencement exercises on May 28 brought the realization that our carefree high school days were over. Although the doors were closing behind us, we would always cherish fond memories and knowledge gained at Monaca High. 116 Name Jim Adams Eileen Aiken Susanna Antoline Tom Avolio Walter Barr Marsha Bender Peggy Biskup Janet Blistan J im Boyd Pat Breckinridge Joanne Brubaker Dorothy Cade Patty Carlson Patsy Catanzarete Betsy Clarke Judy Claspy Patsy Coukart Nick Cutich Orlando Danello Ellen Davidson Barbara Davis Dick DeBacco Joan Dettore Eddie Dierdorf Tom Dinsmore Jim Draganac John Eberhardt Donna Egyud Eddie Elmer Joe Figley Dave Forse John Forse Guy Grater Donna Hall John Haney Bob Hannen Anne Harper Don Houser Madeleine Howell Thomas Huff lrma Huffman Paul Hughes Elaine lnhoff Ivan Istavanic Barbara Job Shirley Johnston Dawn Johnston Tom Johnston John Jones Alice King Bill King Nicknames Jacque Eileen Sue Vie Wuhbet Marsha Peggy Janet Jim Pat BoBo Dot Pat Patsy Betsy Judy Patsy Mike Gig Ellen Barb Moose Joan Eddie Tom Jim John Donna Ed Figs Dave Jack Gus Donna John Bob Annie Termite Madeleine Huffey Erm Pigmy Elaine lvan Barb Shirl Dawn Tom Buckle Jeanie Bill Anne Marie Knechtel Anna Sylvia Kovac Dan Kraft Charles Kugel Henry Lavrusky Janice Leonard Shirley Lincheck Betty Lutz Frank Lynch Nick Makowiecki Toots Peanuts Chuck Henry Jan Shirl Betty Frank Lenny SENIOR HOROSCOPE Likes Best Pidittles Her friends Sewing Looking intelligent Himself Nice Clothes To have fun A certain boy Being shy Ray Acrobats Rings Having Fun Anything but studying Pizza Kelly Don Sports Beaver Ralph Larry Basketball and Football Being shy Money Speed Cops Sleep People Her Glasses Teasing Delp's Store Skipping classes Pat I Girls Teasing Short girls Playing trumpet Bermuda Shorts Homework Clothes Mechanical drawing Joe Loafing Cracking jokes Nice Days Skating Being quiet Staying home Teasing the girls Girls 4-H School Melody Smashers A graduate Linda Study halls English Working on Acanom Tally A certain one Singing Hustling Seen Doing Fishing and Hunting Flapping her eyelids Directing plays Meditating Looking in a mirror Tooting her horn Winning Contests Dancing Setting up pins Ambition Lab technician Foreign correspondent Buyer Card Shark Dancing instructor Beautican To join Air Force Secretary You name it Typing College ThemesTo be rich Going to Turners Smiling Talking Sleeping Talking to Judy Goofing off Day dreaming Making headlines Drinking tea Smiling Chewing gum Hunting moose Cheering Driving his Buick Driving certain black car Eating Punching people Giggling in English class Thumbing up 14-th Street Hill Sleeping Sleeping Drivin truck for Nu- E Way Talking Making Faces Singing Han ding out gum Conducting Student Council meetings Nothing Blushing Working at Atlantic Station Working at the Ranch Loafing Loafing with hill gang Studying Identifying pictures Her French Coming in late Driving his Plymouth Making touchdowns Giggling Driving Looking for a green Buick Acting up Leaning at Grater's Hot rodding around Loafing Studying Laughing Sewing Driving his Chevy Training Pigeons 117 Nurse Marriage Buyer Ditch digger Nurse College girl Secretary Professional basketbal player Join the Navy Stenographer A Mrs. Professional ball player Secretary Machinist Graduate Glass cutter Boxer Nursing career Money collector To graduate To be on time Sailor Another Rudolph Valentino Dietitian Actor Math Teacher Gym teacher To Graduate Beautitian Engineer A housewife Be rich To be an Alumni To be a carpenter Gym teacher French teacher Model Car designer Monkey trainer Hairdresser History teacher Chemist Cheerleader for Geneva Flvis 42 Heart breaker Boss at Elvidges English teacher Housewife Stenographer Artist College graduate Destined to bei Great Actor Mad Scientist Politician Church organist A Don Juan Short Square Dance Instructor Homemaker Bird watcher Poor Housewife Bride Gossip columnist Chiropractor Pepperoni cutter Holy terror Homemaker l Mortician Cake Baker Wild game hunter Just that Coach of Indians Spinster Chemistry Teacher Chauffeur Alert Punch drinker 6 feet tall Dimple driller for Plastic Surgeon School Teacher News boy Truck Driver Soda jerk Comedienne Another John Barry more Piano tuner Female Jim Thorpe Happy Book Checker Grease monkey A babysitter Treasury Dept.

In the Fall of 1956, our editorial staff, with an eye to change and improvement, decided at the beginning of the year that the ACANOM needed a complete remodelingg thus mak- ing the cost of the Acanom greater, including the spaces for advertisements. Therefore we should like to express our sincere thanks for the kind cooperation of all those concerned which enabled us to produce a yearbook that we hope the students and the townspeople will be proud of.
