Monaca, Pennsylvania Alma Bathed in the waters of Hallowed by the green Fruitful and fair, in Na Part of a land God’s hie Bright as the legend of Great as the chief, whos Guided by love and gua Ever, will we praise thei Men you have moulded, women call thee Mother, Hallowed word that whispers thru the years, Gladly we met thee in our childhood wonder. Held by a love that banished fears. Sadly we left thee, when you called to others. Humbly, return we, with our tears to love Error and sadness; lighted by the teaching Ever will we call thee, Monaca, The Brave.” Mater La Be lie Ohio, of rolling hills, ture's gifts abounding, ssing fills, those primal people, name, to thee they gave, ded by thy children. “Monaca, The Brave.” Hushed, thru thy hallways, many voices echo. Sweet, the memory of friendships made. Years swiftly but increase thy splendid Clear, shining light that cannot fade. When in thy shadows other children gather, Speak to them then the message that you gave. To their dear brothers who have gone before them, Lver will they love thee, Monaca, The Brave.” PROGRESS WITH Television is one of the most marvelous of man's inventions. It can vastly expand the horizons of human knowledge, of education, and of understanding among peoples of the world. For many centuries man had dreamed of the day when he would be able to sec a picture of events taking place hundreds of miles away. With the start of the twentieth century, men began to follow the progress of radio and to wonder if it could serve to transmit “sight” as well as sound. The combination of sight” with sound offers an ap| cal that far surpasses anything that could be realized from sound alone. To sec the radio program as well as hear it brings us the ultimate — Television. With this wonderful development, one of the greatest strides had been made in the art of radio. It is interesting to reflect that over ninety per cent of what we learn is through the ability to see. There is no doubt that most of the wonderful uses to which 7elevision will be put are yet to be realized. 2. Chemistry experiments performed in the lab are enjoyed by everyone. S. The student activity bulletin l oard provides the subject of discussion many times through out the school day. 4. Our spirit was there even though the new seats were not. 5. Cheering our team on to victory is a common sight at Monaca High. 1. Students arc greeted by Dr. Kink as they enter school for another day. DEDICATION We the class of 1958 sincerely dedicate this edition of the Acanom to Mr. Phillip H. Petrie, who has been our friend for all of our twelve years of school. We will al- ways remember him for his sincere help and patient understanding. Whenever he was called on, he was never too busy to lend a helping hand and a sympathetic car. He is also admired by all for his keen sense of humor. He came to Monaca in 1928 and served as Supervising Principal of Moon Township School, which is now the fourth and fifth ward, un- til 1931. In 1931 he became the element- ary superintendent and held this position till 1935 when he became Supervising Principal of the Mon- aca Area Schools, from which he retired this year. Our superintendent of Public Schools discusses arrangements and issues necessary to the functioning of our District. Mr. Petrie has been connected with our school system for over 20 years. He has aided the schools with great loyalty and faith- fulness. The telephone played a major part in the daily business of our Superintendent. It enabled him to communicate with all of his dis- trict. The telephone was a big part of Mr. Petrie's day.

We want to express our thanks for all that has been done, just for us anti the high school. The students certainly are proud of the new auditorium seats which you, the truly backbone of our school, have made possible for us. We all realize that without a school board, a school cannot hope to exist, and again, the Class of '58 is greatly indebted to the Board of Education. Dr. Harry E. Fink — Supervising Principal of Monaca Public Schools 1 R. FINK The New Supervising Principal Our class, as well as the entire Monaca School District, has been under the direction of a new Sti|x-rvising Principal since January of this school year. After having Dr. Fink as our high school principal, we know that he will do his best to keep the standards of Monaca High School ever high. Since coining to Monaca in 1956, he has greatly changed and improved our high school. Although he was always busy, he found time to give careful consideration, and helpful under- standing advice to any problem which we had. Dr. Fink, who was born in Arnold, Pennsyl- vania, graduated from Arnold Public Schools. He received his Bachelor of Science tlegree from Slippery Rock State Teachers College and Doc- tor's degree from the University of Pittsburgh. Dr. Fink was Director of Elementary Education at Ambridgc before coming to Monaca in 1956. He is married and has one son. Dr. Fink, the “Class of 1958” congratulates you on this new office and wishes you the best in your coming years as Supervising Principal of Monaca Public Schools. Miss Betty Lutz — Secretary to Dr. Fink Page 13 In appreciation — Mr. Lewis Hlistan To Mr. Hlistan, our acting principal, may we express our sincere appreciation in the ac- knowledgement of his fulfillment of the duties and obligations, and for his guidance and leader- ship, which he has given so willingly in the time of need.

We have Striven” hard to attain that successful moment when we receive our well deserved diplomas. Through good leadership, hard work, and the class standing as a team, we have been able to become one of the strongest classes to graduate. Among our class projects was the construct- ing and selling of the football programs, which were among the best and most com- plete of the season, and the selling of re- freshments during basketball season. Our Football Crowning, which was held in the high school auditorium, was another big success as was our Hand Crowning which was held at half time during the New Brighton game. Then came our Senior Christmas Party at Sheffield Towers. Was it a success? It sure was! This year the graduating class has been able to publish one of the best and most complete Acanoms with many long and hard hours of work behind it. So as you can see, we have strived and we have accomplished success in all ways, and we hope our future lives as parents, business and professional men and women will be as successful as our Senior Year has been.

In our freshman year, we had a delightful time being the “Uppei classmen of the Junior High School.” Under the sponsorship of Mrs. Kline, our sponsor , and our president, Paul Pupi, we participated in raising money to help us through our high school years. Everyone enjoyed himself at the spaghetti supper and, likewise, had a marvelous time at a baseball game one evening at Forbes Field. Our money-making projects for the year were selling magazines and greeting cards. At our Freshman-Sophomore Prom we crowned our Queen, Cathy Marcello and our King, Tom Alexander. The evening was spent danc- ing and eating the delicious refreshments which were prepared by the girls in our class. With our Freshman year closing rapidly behind us, we were eager to proceed on our educational journey to become, once again, Under- classmen”. As Sophomores . . . In our sophomore year, the first duty to be undertaken was the election of our class officers. Bob Fronko, president: Dorothy Sharatz, vice-president: Rhudell Forrest, secretary; and janice Kugcl, treasurer, accomplished much with the aid of our sponsor, Mrs. Rock. Our cheer- leaders, Pauline Restak and Cathy Marcello, helped us cheer our ex- cellent football and basketball teams at the pep assemblies and games, along with our high-stepping majorettes, Patty Mechein and Regina Danello. When we received our class rings, they made us feel as though we were now a real part of Monaca High School. The finale of our sophomore year was the annual freshman-sophomore prom. As Juniors ... Through our junior year we stood as upperclassmen, carefree but realizing the importance of the coming year and the responsibility we now carried as juniors. Under the sponsorship of Mr. Ralph Cantclmi and the guidance of our class officers: Robert Fronko, president; Michael Peshut, vice president: Rhudell Forrest, secretary; and Sally Johnston, treasurer, our first money making project got under way with the annual candy sale. Our Junior Class Play, which was a great achievement, dis- played the talents of many of our classmates. The Junior-Senior Prom, our main social event of the year, en- joyed by all, brought the year to a rewarding close. Finally, Seniors . . . As we entered Monaca High School for our last year, we, as seniors, realized the responsibilities that lay before us. We immediately set to work on our biggest project of the year, the Acanom. The com- petition set by the preceding Acanoms was great, but with Rhudell Forrest, our editor, we knew we had a good start. We passed out our name cards and later, our pictures, in the hopes that we W'ouldn’t be forgotten by our classmates. We accumulated funds by selling candy at basketball games. Betty Harich and Tom Alexander, our football queen and king, were crowned at a dance, which we held in their honor, at the end of football season. Regina Danello and Pat Mechem, our senior majorettes, added charm to the band. We were well pleased with the way the Juniors conducted the Junior-Senior Prom, and we would like to express our appreciation. As commencement exercises rolled around, we realized that our days at Monaca High would soon come to a close. Wherever we may be, memories of our high school days will always remain with us. Page 46 JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS Levina Groves, secretary; Paul Huyzak, president; Mike Fields, vice- president; Ed Bcighey. treasurer. THE JUNIOR CLASS At the start of the new year, the Juniors held a meeting, to elect a sponsor and to elect officers for the new school term. Mr. Cantelmi was chosen as our class sponsor. The president, Paul Huyzak, was very helpful in conducting the class activities and in carrying out the responsibilities which were placed upon him. The vice-president, Mike Fields, was very helpful and always working in the best interests of the class. The secretary, Levina Groves, did a lot of work, such as typing out copies of orders and organizing ideas for our activities. The treasurer, Ed Beighey, had a very hard job caring for any and all financial matters of the class, such as dues and sales money. Under the sponsorship of Mr. Catelmi, the activi- ties of the Junior class were kept on a money-making basis. At mid-term, the candy sales were all that we had accomplished, although many other plans were being considered, such as, a dance sponsored by our class, and a trip to a baseball game. A class play, which we had hoped to have, was an impossibility due to the fact that the auditorium was under repair. The high-stepping majorettes of the Junior class are: Donna Beckman and Roberta Fronko, who did their best in arousing the spirits of the students at the games. The cheerleaders of the Junior class arc: Jeanne Nestich and Levina Groves, who attended all the games and kept up the cheering spirit of the crowd, which helped to keep our team fighting and playing their best throughout all of the games. The money that was made by the candy sales will go for the Junior Senior Prom which will be held in May. Almost every student anticipates this day of the year.

SOPHOMORE OFFICERS AND STUDENT COUNCIL REPRESENTATIVES How I — D. Lucci, president; E. Barr, vice-president. How 2 — R. Mitchell, rep.; K. Lang, secretary; S. l.aFaso, treasurer: J. Sinclair, rep. SOPHOMORE CLASS It took only a few weeks for us, the sopho- more class, to settle down to our routine at Sen- ior High. As we gained assurance we joined the extra-curricular activities offered to us, and be- came better acquainted with Senior High life. Under the guidance ot Mr. Kiefer, our class sponsor, we held our first meeting. At this meet- ing we elected the following officers: President, Dominic Lucci; Vice-President, Eileen Barr; Sec- retary, Kay Lang, and Treasurer, Sam LoFaso. We were represented in the Student Council by Robert Mitchell and JoAnn Sinclair. We were especially proud of our reserve sophomore cheerleaders, Christine Linn, Dorothy Kiefer, Rochelle Sakulsky, and JoAnn Sinclair, and our majorettes, Joyce Plet and Frances Sabo. Our much-awaited class rings arrived on Feb- ruary 11.1 his year we were able to buy our rings on the monthly installment plan. On February 21, a skit entitled The Bookie , was presented by a group of sophomores. It was an amusing and entertaining play. To build up a treasury, in order to cover the expenses of our class activities during the year, and yet, to have a sufficient amount for a good beginning in our junior year, class pins were sold, and a dance sponsored in the spring. Our final anti most important social event of the year was the Freshman-Sophomore Prom, which was held in May in our beautifully decor- ated gymnasium.

At our first meeting of the Freshman Class we elected our officers: President, Eugene Davis; Vice President, Corwin Robertson: Secretary, Kay Mc- Coy, and Treasurer, Georgia Carroll, with Mrs. Kline and Mr. Palumbo as our sponsors. As there were a lot of new- comers to our school, we had a Get-Acquainted Dance in the high school auditorium. This gave us a chance to make a lot of new friends. Our next get-together was a very enjoyable skating party at the Roller Dome in New Brighton. We had a chartered bus with about seventy stu- dents attending. At our Valentine Dance on February 13th, many students and visitors came to watch the crowning of our lovely ciueen, Barbara Leitschaft and our king, Edward Benko. The members of the royal court were Sandra Neese, Eugene Davis, Karen Herman, Paul Saint'Eufemia, Rose Bellock. Jan Harr, Verna Romesburg, Donald Hundley, Rosa lye Danna, Bill Mosca, Nancy Patterson, Corwin Robertson. Barbara Thomas, Charles Curti, Kay McCoy, Tom Zup- sic, Carole Young, and Phillip Massey. Our two attractive cheer- leaders, Sandra Neese and Carole Surowiec led the cheers at all the junior high games. We concluded our activities for the year, with the annual Freshman-Sophomore Formal. Next year we will make our journey to the high school and start all over as the “un- derclassmen.” As to what our future holds, only time will tell. Row I — B Buvan. C. Newman. M Conrad. C Humbert.

VARSITY BASKETBALL TEAM BASKETBALL REVIEW The varsity team started off by winning three ex- hibition games and losing four. In the New Castle Tournament the Indians lost both games, one to New Castle and the other to Shannock Valley. However, neither the Indians nor the student body became dis- couraged. The first Section 8 game was played on Freedom's floor and Monaca won by 11 points. The Indians start- ed on a tremendous winning spree by defeating Free dom, Hopewell, Beaver, New Brighton, and Midland. The Midland game made a record of 29 consecutive wins, which was broken by Rochester at Dawes Gym. Our second games with Freedom, Hopewell, Beaver, and New Brighton were won very easily by our great varsity team. Our next game was with Midland, in which we were defeated and eliminated out of the Section 8 running. Then we played Rochester and rallied back to make up for our previous defeat at their hands. Even though the Indians were not eligible for the W.P.I.A.L. play-offs, the team showed a great season of basketball for Monaca High School. Coaches — Mr. Larry Bruno. Mr. Joe Cutrona.

At Rochester the reserves were rough, but lost their game in the end. With Carnegie our boys won, and started on a winning streak of four games before losing to New Brighton and Midland. In that streak they defeated Fredom for the second time and upset Hopewell. The reserves beat Beaver and ended their season by defeat- ing Rochester on the Indians' floor. As the season progressed, the Monaca reserves grew stronger every game, and the sophomores really came through with flying colors. The juniors certainly show- ed some good actions, also.

THE SEASON On the team this year there were no regulars who returned from last season. In the exhibition games there were two losses to Beaver, two losses to New Brighton, and two wins over Rochester. The “section games were played against Beaver Falls, Ambridgc, Aliquipjpa, Ellwood City, Hopewell, and Midland. None of these games were won by Monaca. Most of the scoring was done by Ed Benko who was moved from a forward position to that of a guard. All of the other players did their best, but luck wasn't with these boys this year. The reasons for all the defeats were height, lack of experience, and inadequate bench strength. We hope that these players will have better luck next season.

The Councils’ first project was the task of organizing all clubs. Next, the Council was given the authority to select four different assembly programs for the next school term. The Council then de- cided to standardize a school seal enabling Monaca High School only to use this seal on various documentary papers. Football and basketball pins were sold by the Student Cquncil. Throughout the school year various assembly programs were pre- sented to the student body. Meetings were held once a month at which time committee chairmen discussed various projects, bills and other school activities. Thanks go to all the club presidents, class representatives, and the officers for helping the Student Council to do better than all past Councils, and providing a path for the future Student Councils at Monaca High School. Also the deepest appreciation is most deserving to the Council sponsor, Mr. William Kiefer, who devoted his time and patience, helping the members and guiding the officers of the Student Coun- cil into the most efficient Council it has proved to be.

LIBRARY CLUB The Library Club was organized in 1955 for the purpose of creating an interest in the use of books in the library, to stimulate reading interests, and to improve the library service of the school. Members must maintain a C average and work the equivalent of one period a week in the library. Social activities of this year included: A Halloween Party, a Christmas Tea for the faculty and members of the organi ation, and a covered dish dinner. Pins were also selected this year.

A girl for each sport, a sport for each girl” is the motto of the Girls' Athletic Association. Under the lead- ership of Miss jacquelin Davies, physical education in- structor, we opened our athletic season with a successful volleyball tournament. Our G.A.A. volleyball stars en- joyed playing their games at noon, especially the game which was played against the B.A.A. volleyball stars. On December 21, the annual G.A.A.-B.A.A. formal. Candy Cane Ball, was held in the school's gymnasium. Our popular bowling tournament was next on our calendar for the year. All of the teams did a fine scoring job, and certainly enjoyed themselves while stacking up their points to win the championship. Other spring activities included: a swimming party at the “Y”, soccer at our football field, a hiking trip, a skating party at Melody Lane Roller Rink, a picnic at North Park in Pittsburgh, and the annual banquet, hon- oring the senior members, which brought to a close, an enjoyable and successful G.A.A. year.

The Boys Athletic Association The B.A.A. has been kept very active by its officers consist- ing of the following: President, Roy Grimes; V. President, Eu gene Horvath; Secretary, Philip Corless; Treasurer, Eugene Fink. These boys arc under the sponsorship of Phillip Taormina who has done an excellent job in keeping the B.A.A. a well organized club. Over half the boys in Monaca High School have participat ed in at least one of its many activities. This club is one of the largest in our school and is recognized by most of the other schools in Beaver Valley and surrounding areas. This club has done much to increase the desire for sports in our school along with providing much entertainment foi our students. The first sport on the B.A.A. schedule is volleyball. Eight teams participated, each team under the leadership of a cap- tain. These teams rivaled each other eliminating one another until only the championship team remained. The winning team consisted of Bernard Olshanski, Bob Tuccinard, Phil Pat ton, anti Leo Parish. Sam Catan arite was the captain of this team. All the boys that participated in this sport arc to be congratulated on their good sportsmanship and co-operation. Other sports on the B.A.A. agenda include basketball and bowling. These sports will be played until only a champion- ship team remains. After the completion of the sports, trophies will be awarded to the Volleyball champs, Basketball champs, highest individual average, second highest average, and the Bowling champions. Other activities of the B.A.A. include the Christmas Formal held on December 23, 1957, a skating party at Melody Lane Skating Rink on January 24, 1958, and a scheduled Weiner Roast.

A CKNO WLEDGEMENTS Each year it is the duty of the senior class to publish a yearbook for the student body. I. having been chosen editor, was responsible for the production of the Acanom this year. Finding that it requires the efforts of many to prepare a yearbook, I wish at this time, on behalf of my co-editor, Regina Dancllo, and the staff, to thank the following persons for their kindest cooperation: the administration, the faculty, Graule Studios, the Hurley Publishing Company, the student body, and our sponsor. Miss Margaret Smith. 1 sincerely hope that our yearbook, the 1958 ACANOM, will be enjoyed by all who read it. Rhudcll H. Forrest, Editor-in-Chief.

Mr. Johns, known to almost everyone as Earl, retired this year after serving as custodian of Monaca Senior High School for the last twenty-eight years. To him alone goes the credit of keeping our school spic and span. He was always working; there was never an idle moment in his hours spent in working at our school. Quite frequently it was necessary that he be at the school from early in the morning to fire up, until late at night to lock the doors after a dance. We the Class of '58 are grateful to him, anti we hope that he will always remember us. We will certainly remember Mr. Johns as the best custodian a school could hope to have. Page 112
