As he probes farther into the area beyond our sensible atmosphere, he will learn more about his environment. He will understand better the order and beauty of creation. Man may then come to realize that war will avail him nothing but catastrophe. He may grasp the truth that there is something much bigger than his one little world. Before the majesty of what he will find in space, he must stand in reverential awe. There is, then, no question of man's belonging or not belonging in space. He belongs wherever his knowledge and skills can carry him. As his technology advances, he will be free to devote more of his time to thinking and to dreaming; he will be able to raise civilization to new levels. When space flight frees man from the final chains of gravity, he will have a new and wonderful experience of God's truth. The gateway of heaven will be open to him. We, the class of 1960, are the leaders of the future. In this yearbook, we are endeavoring to show that our generation will lead the flight into the future. Mrs. Walter is telling Mr. Cantelmi something interesting. Is Mrs. Craw-ford wondering when school will be out, too? Are you sure vou really want to buy it Mr. Tuffie? Mr. Cutrona is relating another tale about his football days. 6 What Is Miss Koman reprimanding the girls for? One of the Library Club members is helping in the library. 7 Sitting Pretty G.A.A. and B.A.a. Christmas Formal Grand March. Who is leading the march?

Monaca started the 1959 football season on the right foot by defeating the Bulldogs 20-6. Most of the first half was a defensive battle, for each team failed to score. Both teams displayed great defensive ability to stop one another from scoring. In the second half, however, the Indians scored the first touchdown on a keeper by Sam lx Faso around the left end. JohnAntoline converted for the extra point. At the end of the third quarter Monaca was ahead 7-0. Early in the fourth quarter Corky Robertson intercepted a pass to set up the next Monaca touchdown which was scored by a pass from LoFaso to halfback Bert Petrella. The placement by John Antoline was neatly blocked. Again, the Indians scored their final touchdown when Richard Job set it up by recovering a fumble on the Bulldogs' 10 yard line. Dave Renzo scored the touchdown off the left tackle and Antoline converted it for the extra point. Freedom, however, did not give up and managed to score a touchdown late in the last quarter after their speedy halfback picked up 83 yards on two plays. The same halfback scored the touchdown from Monaca's 2 yard line. Freedom's placement was unsuccessful. onaca Playing their first home game of the '59 season, the Indians won their second game by a decisive score, 8-0. The first quarter was scoreless, but the Indians dominated most of the quarter over the bigger Rochester team. Early in the second quarter the Rams' quarterback fumbled the ball on his own 46 yard line, where John Makowieckl, defensive linebacker, picked up the pigskin and ran the distance for the only Monaca touchdown. The placement by Antoline was unsuccessful. In the final quarter of the second quarter of the second half Monaca received two points when a low LoFaso punt was touched by the Rams on their own five and it rolled loose into the end zone where Monaca received an automatic safety. 56 VootUf Ve eam FIRST ROW: Left To Right, C.

Shannon, onaca The Indians picked up their third straight victory when they romped over Langley High of Pittsburgh, 27-0, at Monaca. The Indians dominated the entire game by scoring a touchdown in every period, having two touchdowns called back, and threatened on several other occasions. All of Monaca's touchdowns were by passes. Sam LoFaso threw three of the touchdown passes and sopho- more Ron Mattes threw the ball to him. Bert Petrella caught passes for touchdowns in the first and third quarters, while Renzo caught a pass in the second quarter. All these passes were thrown by LoFaso. In the last quarter Mattes threw a touchdown pass to end Ed Benko. Our place kicker John Antollne converted three out of four attempts. The Mustangs failed to score a single touchdown. They were outplayed by a better ball club. The Indians won their fourth consecutive game by defeating the Sharps ville Devils, 13-7. The Devils outplayed the Indians in the first half and the Red Skins found themselves behind 7-0 at half time. In the third quarter, however, the Indians found the path to victory by scoring two touchdowns. Both of these touchdowns were scored bv halfback, Bert Petrella. He scored the first touchdown on a one yard plunge. John Antollne failed to make the conversion and the Indians again found themselves behind, 7-6. But before the third quarter ended, Petrella scored the second touchdown by grabbing a 15 yard pass from Sam LoFaso. Antoline's extra point was good to make the final score, 13-7. Jam Vo WicKanJ onac The Midland Leopards handed Monaca their first defeat of five games. Most of the game was a de- fensive battle in which neither team could gain consistently. Midland opened the scoring late in the first stanza with a fantastic plav which covered 62 yards. The play began when Midland s quarterback handed off to his halfback, who immediately lateralled back to the quarterback. The quarterback ran around left end and was hit by Monaca tacklers. He alertly lateralled to the fullback who carried theb Uover the goal line Midland failed to make the conversion. Monaca scored its lone touchdown late in the second quart when our center Mike Maier recovered a Midland fumble on Midland’s 19 yard line. Several plays later Sam LoFaso sneaked over the goal line from the one yard line. Antoline's conversion was no good. The first half ended in a 6-6 tie. The third quarter was a hard fought battle, but neither team managed to score a touchdown. In the fourth quarter the Leopards took advantage of an J n d i a n f u m b 1 e a n d ° r ed t nec - essary touchdown and conversion to win the game by a decisive 13-6 score.The game eliminated Monaca from the WPIAL running. 57 Hopewell's powerful team helped to hand Monaca its second straight defeat with a 27-14 score. The Vikings managed to score two touchdowns in the first stanza. Monaca finally got into the scoring picture early in the second quarter after Rich Job blocked a Hopewell punt and the Indians took control of the ball on the Hopewell 23. The touchdown came on a pass from LoFaso to end Bob Whittington who caught the ball even though it was deflected by a Hopewell defender. Antoline kicked the extra point and Hopewell led at half time 14-7. The Vikings took control of the game when they scored two more touchdowns in the second half. In the last stanza, Hopewell drove 45 yards for another touchdown. The place-kicker made the extra point to bring Hopewell's score to 27 points. Monaca managed to score in the fourth quarter by moving the ball 70 yards on short passes. Bert Petrella took the ball over the goal line for the second touchdown. The game finally ended with Hopewell the victor. onaca Braddock tied a national record when they beat a scrapy Monaca team 28-8 in North Braddock. Their tremendous ad- vantage in weight and power spelled the difference. In the first period Braddock scored with a touchdown, a conversion, and an automatic safety. In the second period they boosted their score with 2 touchdowns and a P.A.T. The score at half time was 22-0. In the third quarter, Braddock completed their scoring with a touchdown. In the final frame, Monaca moved 66 yards in spite of the sloppy condition of the field. They gained largely on passes by LoFaso who also gained 12 yards on the ground. He was stopped though on the try for the extra point. The touchdown came after Mike Maier nailed Davis, a Braddock halfback in his own end zone for a safety. Maier and Makowiecki were out- standing linemen and LoFaso, Petrella, and Renzo sparked the backfield. onaca us. 'e aver A steady drizzle made the Beaver field slick anc the plays difficult to execute. The first Bobcat touch- down came late in the first quarter and commenced a drive sparked by Bloom and completed by Binkoski. The Indians only serious threat came with only a minute remaining in the first half. LoFaso intercepted a Bloom pass on his own 30 and ran 38 yards, but an illegal substitution penalty cost the Indians 5 yards and the loss of precious time. The next play completed the half. Beaver’s remaining scores came in the fourth quarter, John Makowiecki and Bob Whittington were outstanding on defense. Monaca wound up its season in a 7-7 deadlock with New Brighton. Monaca missed a scoring chance early in the first period when they were stopped at the 5 yard line, and the first half remained scoreless. John Antoline set up the M.H.S. touchdown in the third period with a pass interception. Bert Petrella then carried from the 4 and Antoline booted the extra point. But New Brighton came back in the fourth quarter to tie it up with a T.D. by Hornick and a conversion by Cambell. Thus Monaca ended its season with a record of 4-4-1. LEFT TO RIGHT: P. Taormina, J. Cutrona, A. Bonomi, R. Bezuk, J. DeLuca. Mr. Bonomi Heads New Coaching Staff VARSITY FOOTBALL COACHES This was Mr. Aldo Bonomi's first year as a head football coach and his first year in Monaca. This was also the first year in Monaca for his assistant coach Mr. Robert Bezuk. They were both well-liked by all the M.H.S. students, and we all enjoyed their humorous remarks at banquets and pep assemblies. But things weren’t so humorous at practices. The boys were drilled and trained from the first days of practice to the night before the final game. Although many of their valuable seniors will graduate, they will have a strong nucleus about which to build another successful team next year. The other coaches who assisted Mr. Bonomi were Mr. Joseph Cutrona, Mr. Phil Taormina, and Mr. James DeLuca. We feel that Mr. Bonomi compiled a favorable record this year and we will be glad to see him coaching the Indians in years to come. 60 MR. ALDO BONOMI ROW ONE: Left To Right, A. DeLuca, D. Lucci, S. Mayfield. ROW TWO: D. Graeser, D. Hundley. The football team was centered around the coaches and the managers. Some of the duties of the managers were seeing that the uniforms were cleaned for each game, that the dressing room was kept clean, that the practice equipment was taken care of, and that each player received his own practice equipment. Without the managers, it would be a difficult task to have a well-organized ball team. The managers also helped the coaches in the medical treatment of the injured players. There were always some players who needed to be taped, and the managers were the ones to tape them. They helped the coaches in any way they could. The team and coaches agreed that the managers .su- pervised by Domonic Lucci pictured at the right, did a very good job. The junior managers are: Don Hundley, Skip Mayfield, Dave Graeser, and Allan DeLuca. 61 TONY BLOBNER JOHN MAKOWIBCKI Although the Monaca High School varsity had a losing season, our squad failed to lose their team spirit. The mighty Indians had thirteen outstanding seniors whom the Monaca squad will greatly miss next year. Our talented quarterback, Sam LoFaso, gave Monaca supporters many thrills with his fine passing tech- nique. Many of Sam's passes were caught by three of Monaca's capable ends, Tony Blobner, Bob Whittington, and Rich Job who displayed a great deal of skill with their pass receiving and running ability. Dave Renzo, Bert Petrella, and Joe Danna, three speedy halfbacks, could always be counted on for a fine per- formance. When the going got rough, they gathered quite a few of Monaca's needed yards. BERT PETRELLA DAVE RENZO 62 ennen Mike Maier, a competent senior star, centered the ball in many important touchdown plays. When one or two extra points were needed. Coach Bonomi could usually count on the kicking ability of John Antoline. Last, but not least, are our powerful guards and tackles. John Antoline, Gene Winship, and Fred Keefer did remarkable jobs at their tackle positions, while the guard spots were capably filled by John Makoweicki and Bob Robitz. Although these boys did not receive much of the glory given by the novice spectator, those who understand the game know that they always did a splendid job. Despite the fact that the varsity has lost thirteen talented astroids, the Indians will, we are sure, have many future stars to fill their experienced shoes.

However, this does not speak for the efforts of our hard-working players. In every game, Monaca played to the best of their ability, and they were always backed by the spirit of their fellow classmates. The entire team played hard in every game, but they started their season with only three lettermen, and therefore, lacked speed and experience. Although the season was not a prosperous one for Monaca as a win-loss record is concerned, they did prosper in school spirit and sportsmanship.

Senior BASKETBALL COACHES LEFT TO RIGHT: Head Coach. Otto Pritchard; Reserve Coach, Howard SarRe Alberts. £ eserues This, the second year of Sarge” Alberts' coaching career, was plagued by varsity drafts and injuries. Sam Peshut, a lanky center, and Jack Lang, a husky forward, were moved to the varsity during the season. Also reducing the number of players, Jack Hemer and John Raymer were bothered by foot injuries. To compensate for this, Mr. Alberts drafted two managers, Jack Massa and Paul Sant Eufemia. Mr. Alberts felt that the team played very well despite the drafts and injuries. This J.V. team will provide excellent material for the varsity teams of future years.

WITNESSES: Silas Mamer, Macbeth. Julius C aesar. 109 Jl roscop e As plans were being completed for the 1970 reunion of the Class of'60, the services of the Don’t Dilly Dally Detective Agency were employed to find the members of the said class. The first member of the class to be located was Carole Adamek who was giving a concert at Carnegie Hall in New York City. Among the members of the audience enjoying the performance was John Antoline who now owns his own Muscle Building Salon. He informed the detectives that Jerry Crizer and Jerry Dotson are now the owners of a large New York art gallery. As the detectives were leaving the theater, they saw the sign, Larry’s French Restaurant, on a building across the street. On further investigation, they found that the proprietor was Larry Johns. The music in the restaurant was provided by Pat Clark and her all girl orchestra with Marian Chop as soloist. While reading the newspaper, the detectives found that Dave Biskup had just received a prominent position with Harper Publishing Company owned by Jim Harper. Turning to the Sports page, they found that Joe Danna was to officiate at a title match between Richard Gavura and Lewis King at Madison Square Garden the next week. Also appearing on the Sports page was a picture of Richard Job, Fred Keefer, and Tony Blobner who had just signed football contracts with the New York Giants. They also noticed that Ted Eberhardt was to do mound duty for the Pirates baseball team the next day, and that Norma Feller had won the tennis championship. On the Entertainment page, they found that Marilyn Fabi was playing a four weeks engagement at the El Morocco. Also appearing on the same bill were the Four Sparkles, a singing group composed of Mary Ellen Barbara, Janet Basar, Sandy Corless, and Sally Donovan. The detectives decided to go to the branch office in Chicago and boarded the Chicago plane. Mary Ann Barber, who was the stewardess, showed them to their seats and informed them that the pilot was George Freeh and the co-pilot was George Barber. Landing in Chicago, they hailed a taxi and to their surprise noticed that the driver was Chuck Johnston. During their ride to the office. Chuck told them that Marianne Austin was manager of a music store; that Eileen Barr and Sophie Behun were directors of the Girl Scouts of America; that Catherine Bedich was a star on TV; and that John Bickerton was president of the First National Bank of Chicago. At the office they looked up the records, and found that Charlotte Biskup and Carol Colligan were Rockerfeller’s private nurses. They located Cecelia Boyd and Georgine Domyancic teaching languages at the University of Chicago. They reported that Carole Egger was a private tutor for the Shah of Iran’s son, and that Bob Hutchinson now owned a chain of food stores. When returning from lunch they passed the office of Krebs and Krebs, Attorneys at Law. Deciding to see if the attorneys were Janet and Joanne Krebs formerly of Monaca, they entered the office and the secretary, Dorothy Labasik informed them that they were the same Krebs girls. As they turned to leave the office, Barbara Guy entered the office seeking some legal advice. It seems that she and her partner Chris Glasser were having trouble with a customer who fell in their beauty salon. Thanking them,the detectives returned to the office where they found a telegram for the Pittsburgh office saying that Dorothy Kiefer and Sue Kelley were the owners of a large department store there and that Gene Garber was a radio announcer at station KDKA. Soon other reports began to come in. They found that Bob Collins was the director of a Lonely Hearts Club; John Brandenberger and Jim Kushich were working for the Bureau of Internal Revenue; Virginia Catanzarite was a highly paid model; and Eileen Kovac was a successful author. The detectives heard rumors that some members of the class were in California, so they instructed their secretary, Chris Linn, to make plane reservations for them to California. They were met at the plane by Chuck Gromo, who is the president of the United Airlines. He said that the members of the class living in California were having a party that evening and that the detectives were invited to attend. At the party were: Joyce Chrobak who is a famous scientist; Juliana Chuey and Shirley DeWeese who are working at MGM: Randy Chunchick who is a general in the Air Force; Pat Kennedy who is a well-known poet; and Kay Lang who is a columnist for the Associated Press. Kay said that Janet Hood and June Johnson were unable to attend because they were serving with the Navy Nurse Corps in Japan. After some inquiries we were able to locate Brenda Louer who is working in the United Nations building. She told us that Dominic Lucci owned an exclusive beauty salon on 5th Avenue and to get in touch with him. We were unable to see Dominic but talked to one of his beauty operators Mary Ann Mangin. We lost our way on the streets of New York and asked a policeman for directions. We soon recognized him as Ronald Luzzi after directing us he told us where to find Michael Maier, John Makowiecki, and Larry Malone who owned a Cadillac agency in Manhattan. On leaving New York, we happened to run into a train conductor from the class named Paul Mason. i io We arrived in Pittsburgh after several hours and a long talk with Paul, who told us where to find several more of the class. Michael Michaluk is working for Conrad Hilton. Mary Fran McCartney and Beryl McCaw are also working for him. Beryl had talked recently to Ruth McLaughlin a teacher at West- inghouse High School in Pittsburgh. She gave us information on Laura McKelvey, Barbara Miller, and Nancy Miller all of whom are Working for the Greater Pittsburgh Airport. We hailed a cab to go to the airport and soon realized that the driver was Stanley Olash. He informed us that his cousin Barbara Olshanski was painting billboards for the H. J. Heinz Company, under the new management of Leo Parish. We asked Leo if he knew where Geraldine Pacitti or Ruthann Minnitte happened to be. To our surprise he said they both worked for him along with Joan Pallay, Mary Lou Patterson, and Karen Massey all tasters in the soup factory. Robert Lubert is co-owner of a Turkish Bath on Smithfield Street with Dennis Malloy. From Pittsburgh we drove to Monaca to visit the school and who do you think we found tl re, but Olive Newman teaching Spanish. She gave us a list of other classmates who were teaching there. They are, Margaret Shugert, Gym Teacher and Ruth Michic teaching P.O.D. Each added several names to our list. Leonora Jones now owns the Garfield Business School and Stella Lipnicky is her private secretary. Rita DeChellis and Priscilla DiCicco are co-owners of the Monaca Pizza Palace. Two of the waitresses in the Pizza Palace are Delores Dietrich and Martha Emert. Marian Elmer is married and lives in a $100,000 home on Broadhead Road. Edna Gallagher is secretary to the supervising principal of the Monaca Area Schools. Nancy Fronk, Mary Ann Guantonio, Betty Harper, and Carrol Hill are the officers of the Monaca P.T.A. Next to Florida to find Joyce Stanye, Carolyn Snyder, and Jack Smith all of whom are working for Marineland. A short journey to Key West to find Thomas Slaby, James Snyder, and Jack Susie, all are visiting Uncle Sam at the Navy base there. They told us that Ronald Tempest along with August Tuffie and James Tritt were also serving Uncle Sam but with the Army. News came from Washington D.C. that Edith Stitt the Secretary of Typing had set a new record. She said in her letter that Peggy Taylor is in the ladies speed race at Cleveland and Denny Strauss is doing pantomimes on the Ed Sullivan show. Carol Sosnowski is the owner of a beautician school near Butler, Pa. We find that the owner of Beechnut - Spearmint Gum is Barbara Steffler. Reports from Alaska told us that Robert Whittington owns a Chinese back scratcher industry. In Philadelphia Pat Weber and Sally Williams now publish the Saturday Evening Post and are soon to be owners of the Curtis Publishing Company. Jean Sullivan is a writer of short stories and biographies. Jean is planning to do Erla Stewart’s biography for Erla is now a famous scientist. Linda Tyler and Judy Swager now represent Pennsylvania as senators. Mary Trella is dancing for Robert Svirhra's band in California and Virginia Ventresca is head of a height building salon in Michigan. The salon is the only one of its kind and her first customer was Robert Wilson. A telegram just received at our office said that they have located Robert Whippo, Gene Winship, and Robert Logan owning a drive-in under a new name of ”Eat n Park”. Marsha Wolfe, and Annette Verostek are waitresses there. It also said that JoAnn Woods .was working lor the U. S. Mint and Joann Zurek was located In Erie, Pennsylvania. We arrived at Las Vegas by a jet piloted by Bill Patton. We asked Frances Sabo, the stewardess, where we could find Dave Servick. To our surprise she told us that he was the owner of the Last Frontier Hotel and that Dan Rayback was the dealer with Bill Riddle as the bouncer. Upon entering the hotel we checked our coats ’ with Nancy Patton. After taking a tour of the hotel we went to see their famous Pancake Band directed by Dave Renzo with Bill Porto at the drums. The next morning we continued our search for Bob Reese. We found him the caretaker of the Sierra Desert. Bert Petrella and Jim Piersol now own a profitable Camel Riding establishment. After a weary journey through the desert we met Don Prince, inspector of the Hoover Dam. He told us that Shell Sakulsky was the head of the nose plug industry. When we arrived there we found Marie Petrella the able manager of Shell's industry. After spending a quiet day with Marie, we returned to the hotel finding Bob Robitz and Joyce Peltz doing a new fangled dance called the ’’waltz!” We then went to an all night grocery store run by Shirley Reigel with Barb Shrum as the cashier. Lee Rubino and Tom Pogledich then drove up in the new orchid Rolls Royce. They informed us that Faye Meidinger was now with the government. We could not get in touch with Faye or Shirley Miller for they were on the moon testing the possibilities of establishing an all- night laundry. , J „ . . . Well that includes everyone in our list I believe. Wait! here is a special delivery from our agent in South America. Sam LoFaso now owns a coffee plantation there called Last Drop Plantation.
