HEDGLIHGS UF HIHEHICH In these, our war years, all minds and eyes and hearts follow tearfully and fearfully, those fledglings who are winging their fearless flight into scarlet-hued heavens-fledglings eagles, these premature defenders, summoned to immensity on their maiden flight into tempest-wakened air. Out of our peaceful midst go they, intrepid adventurers championing the cause of freedom and humanity, little knowing the blessings of that liberty, for which their homes and churches and schools taught them to live. Gallant youth are they-flower of our nationhood-sacrificing material possessions for larger spiritual ends, abandoning personal prosperity for brighter visions of a regenerated posterity, forsaking the comforts of worldly promise for the clearer revelation of God's favor. War's voracious maw encompasses them, the while, their lives and hopes and ambitions are preferred as holocausts on the altar of propitiation for liberty's preservation. No coward-souls here, no tremblers in the world's storm-troubled sphere! l-Ieaven's glories shine in their countenancesg and noble faith shines equal, arming us, who remain behind, against the fears and woes that twist the sinews of our souls. Theirs, is a time for greatness! Theirs, a supreme oblation in civilization's salvation. Well may they deserve honor, for, by their heroic deeds, shall they erect triumphal arches to undying freedom, and eternal justice. To these fledglings, eaglets all, we dedicate this volume. Dr. A. John Goetz. -f,..,,, ...- - .....-' .... -.T '-..,-NN.-at --...Q-N-mu THHE UPF The Greyhound of 1943 is, in form, a tribute to a high-spirited American youth. Through the aviation theme, this new, yet old patriotic spirit of American boys and girls living in a country at war, has been expressed in print. With the pilot, we have glided for a birds- eye view of the administration, the seniors, the seniors of tomorrow and the activities and organizations of the entire school . . .

Even though America is at war, we, young America, have a rare privilege, an almost extinct opportunity-the opportunity of looking forward, not with dread and discouragement but with hope and con- fidence. For this is a war, not only of the present, but of the future- a war which we, high school students today but the leaders of tomor- row will have to end. It will be our ob to do what our fathers failed to do, to formulate a solid, a lasting peace. That is why we can look forward with confidence and hope. We are fitted for the job, we are ready for it, we have been educated for it. Look through this book, young America! Look back at the broad and democratic education to which you have been sub jected! Look back and realize that because you are an American, because you have had an American education, you are still able to look up! ... .. -. - -. ..... -F .. .. ....-:.. ...J- :-.':': - - -'- -T '- .....- ..--..-..- -'Z-4 ,.- ... ..... -..-.........-r4..- -1 ...-- ...'---,--.,.- .. .-....-' ---......-.- ....-.... ...lis- ...- ..........,......-... -- -.--....--.-,..

We, his students, will always remember Mr. Richardson, not only as a wise instructor, but as a good friend. 14 W W 'I' ,,.,,W my ik , I XX X Xxx nl' f X ' xxxx I Z-1 , 35-Tk' - . , f -A' , if: f' 55 x -' Yv ' 'L QA A ik ik l ik .517 3 ik ik ii? ik FHCUHU 15. i 'kind ' 'iw ' H ' , 'KH' ' ulni '5 '-'-' 'L -A Lvft, to right: lst.

That was the first time in the history of our school that both the 'junior Planen and the Senior Planen were piloted by the same presi- dent. This two-term pilot was assisted by two equally-skilled helpers, the co-pilot vice-president George Boulegeris and hostess-secretary Betty Lucas. Although the Senior Council had no serious engine trouble that year, a small setback was felt when it was found that the Senior Class had no sponsor. But, taking it all into stride, the Senior Council turned it into an asset instead of a liability. The annual Junior-Senior Christmas dance and the Junior-Senior prom, sponsored by the Council, were, as usual, pronounced successes. The selling of senior play tickets and the offering of prizes to the persons who sold the most were begun on the council landing field. Although the Senior Council was most active in social events, Hfhct :hall it be? 11:30 or 12? it proved its worth in the class war effort, and truly earned the high position which it holds in the school.

Under the sponsorship of lwiss Mary Ryan, commander of this fledgling government, the members plan and conduct numerous social events throughout the school year. In addition to this, it is the duty of Council members to select nominees for class officers and to count the ballots of the election. Junior Council members are selected by the same procedure as are the Student Council and Senior Council members. Each Junior homeroom selects its own nominees and then votes for their rep- resentative in the Council. There is one council member to represent each Junior homeroom. At times the Junior and Senior Councils Work hand in hand in conducting the larger social events. The Christmas dance and the Prom are always Junior-Senior affairs.

Schrading and Mr. Currie, were beginning to take shape. Ruth Stern, who deserves our hearty applause, took the role of a hard-boiled Editor-in-Chief, while the Associate Editors were Evelyn Hasco and Erma Eileen Chesmar. Supervising the Junior work in the capacity of Junior Editor was Gene Haury, who greatly contributed to the success of this volume. The two cohorts in charge of the Senior and Junior Class histories are respectively, Liz Merritt and George Stupakis. Steve Bilo, with a spark for sports, turned out fine reports of our athletic activities as Sports Editor. Adding that humorous touch was Curt Phil- lips, acting as Vocational Editor. Gloria Santell, an efficient Business Manager, took care of the financial matters. VVithout Stanley Turek, our conscientious pal in charge of the Photography, this Yearbook would not have been possible. ' h Ann Fisfis, Mary Kerr, The editorial assistants were.

To compensate for the small number of contests this year, credit has been given for all school and community programs in which the debaters and the forensic students par- ticipated. Both groups have put on two assemblies of their own besides presenting programs for church and civic groups. Twelve members of the League attended the Annual Student Congress of the Western Penn- sylvania District and of the National Forensic League held at California November 20 and 21. Ruth Stern was the senior senator and Charles Stonage, the junior senator. The representatives were: Lois lVlcShaffrey, Jeanne Kerth, Bernard Bergstein, Nick lvlelissas, Mary Ellen Reycroft, Jean Maller, George Stupakis, Richard Stonage, Joe Gorman, and Gene Haury. Richard Stonage was elected as speaker of the Pliio House and Joseph Gorman was speaker of the Clio House. Pearl Daniels and Frank Paul- inan acted as pages. The officers of the local chapter of the N. F. L. for this year have been: President ..... . . .Richard Stonage Vice-president . . . ...... Ruth Stern Secretary .... .... G ene Haury Treasurer ................... Nick lvlelissas Two top-ranking seniors, Ruth Stern and Richard Stonage, represented Mrznessen at the Student Council held at Indianapolis. The four highest ranking members of the local chapter are: Ruth Stern, Richard Stonage, Charles Stonage, and Nick lldelissas.

From a group of 100 seniors trying out for the play Mrs. Kasper chose a double east of 24. On January 4 the cast was announced and practice for the play begun. It was necessary to have three afternoon and two evening performances on the 4, and 5, of February to accomodate the large number of persons who attened the play. Assisting Mrs. Kasper as directors were Merrie D,Antonio and Aladene Carcelli, while the be- hind scenesn problems were handled by the tech- nical staff composed of: Nick Melisszis, Gertrude Palm, Jimmy Gribben, Helen Patronas, lVIa1'y Kathryn Donovan, Lander Chaverin, Erma E. Chesmar, Harold Baker, Steve Bilo, Morgaii Egidi, Edward Fohner, William Pavolich, Ed- Wina lNlcLaughlin, Ruth Forsberg, Diane Dol- insky, Genevieve Lhota, Ida Vitale, Ruth Wilson, Angeline Croussouloudis, George Boulegeris, Steve Illuryn, Alex Bartlco, Jeff Hewitt, and lliss Dorothy Whiteliouse. The lllad Hatters is a story of the mad Hatter family. As the play began, the family learned that rrTllf'j'1l'l' IIlll.S'.! The 'whoh' lot of tlwnz! We will go far, far, far! Grandma, their sole support, decided to stop her allowances. She was willing, however, to renew the allowance in three months if just one of the family could prove his worth. Gigi, the athletic daughter, entered a swim- ming tournamentg Bunny, her brother, an ama- teur photographer, entered some pictures in a camera contestg Joe, the father, got out his fish- ing rods, and Margaret, the Mother, decided to present a play. From then on things happened fast and fur- iously. Bunny failed to win in the contest, Gigi got nothing in the tournament except a black eye, lXIargaret's play was a flop, and now Grand- ma was coming. But Grandma, who flew her own plane, crashed in Long Island and lost her false teeth. All was forgiven, though, when Grz1ndma's teeth are found in a fish which Joe had caught and the play ended happily for every- one. The Cast WVas as Follows: Gigi Hatter .. . Angelica ....

Under the supervision of General W. R. H. Patterson, the Student Council Corps has gone all out towards win- ning the war. The Student Council is comprised of high school students, one representative from each home- room. The members pledge themselves to offer suggestions for the good of the school and to assist the executive council in the administration of the high school. Many campaigns were supported by the Stud- ent Council silver wingers this year. Directed by ri win-the-war pursuit force, composed of George Stupakis, commanderg George Kerestan and Bernard Bergstein, three successful projects were carried out. The first offensive stimulated the interest of the students in the collection of books for the armed forces. The second drive was to help the students in attaining 10021 in Defense Stamps. The last campaign was to seek the co- operation of each high school student in a pro- gram to impress the importance of tin can salvage.

The duties of the organ- ization, under the sponsorship of lliiss Eleanor Knuttila, are many and varied, the primary one being the promotion of social functions. Save-serve-conserve was the timely theme chosen by the Vocational Student Council as a guide in carrying on its activities. This theme served not only as a guide for the Council, but also as a challenge to every student of the Vo- cational School. Due to the critical condition: which exist With' regard to scrap metal and shop equipment, and to the great number of skilled men needed in the war effort, the Student Coun- cil urged every student to gain the most knowl- edge and skill possible and at the same time conserve valuable material. Activities promoted by the Student Council were highlighted by a f'Victory Dance g admis- sion being limited to those purchasing at least one Defense Stamp. Other activities included form- ing a student patrol, sponsoring a dancing club, and providing recreation for the luncheon period. Representatives were also chosen to make, with the help of Nliss lllarjorie Harvey, a scrap book depicting the work the Vocational School has done for the government.

This time the boys must have liked it, for they began wearing White shirts, neckties, and a nice shine on their shoes. It was a big change for the people living on Rostraver to see those well-dressed young men going by in place of the grease-monkeys with overalls. But, along with these many changes came a big surprise, Miss Harvey, the captain of the English classes, had brought plans for a Debate Club with her. She sent out calls for enlistments and fifteen members signed up for the Vocation- al's first debate club. The purpose of the debate club is to encourage public speaking and various other speech activities. Meetings of the Debate Club are held every Thursday.

Slacfewl' Penal The Student Patrol, which is sponsored by the vice-principal, Mr. W. R. H. Patterson, is an organization of 85 members. The duties of the patrolmen are to prevent unnecessary noise in the halls and to prevent any nuisances by the students. Seniors who have had two years of patrol service received a letter on or before October thirty-first of their senior year. Gther seniors received a letter during the Easter season. The officer of the Patrol are: President ..... Jeff Hewitt Vice-president . ..Robert Hornack Secretary . . . ........... Genevieve Lhota Lieutenants .. .Jeff Hewitt, Harry Jarouse llleetings are held every two weeks to discuss traffic rules. Important general orders the patrol must learn are: 1. Be courteous, alert, and prompt. 2. Do not engage in conversation or read while on post. 3. Do not allow any nuisance committed near your post. 4. Be specific in giving orders. 5. Show no partiality. 6. Report violations promptly. 7. Attend every patrol meeting. 8. Have a good record in the office. 9. Receive culture award cards. Stand erect at least three feet from the wa . . . With these rules to follow the patrol has been an asset to the school ever since its organization. 1 ' Sim! Www! At the beginning of another year at the Vo- cational School, the students were running in and out of school like an army of pursuit planes, up and down the halls like jeeps. hir. Thomas Preston, the commander-in-chief, was faced once more with the task of slowing them down to a safe landing speed. Upon looking over his draft quota for the year, he immediately sent out questionnaires. ln a few days his draftees were organized and as- signed to their posts for the duration of the school year. It was their job to maintain safety and courtesy in and around the school and to prevent unnecessary noise in the halls. It was not very long until these efficient partolmen had the situation well in hand. This year's Student Patrol, however, went far beyond the call of duty, for, along with their combat services, the patrol members took over the functions of the U. S. O. by furnishing the students with music during the noon lunch hour. Next in command to Mr. Preston is the hard- working captain, George Sennita. Captain Sen- nita and his Lieutenants, Arthur Dubinsky and Phillip Santini succeeded in organizing one of the most efficient patrol systems the Vocational School ever had. The patrolmen for the year were: Milan Sudor, Kenneth Sharpnack, Steve Muryn, Mat- thew Owsiany, Donald Byron, William Dubin- sky, Joe Imbrogno, Myron Kunka, Dominic Galilie, Lawrence Bonari, Elmer Waiton, David Lewis, George lVIarinkovich, Ferdinand San- chez.

As the last strains of our Alma Mater ring through the air, it gives us a chance to tell a little about the band that is playing this music. lt is really worth telling about too, for of all the surrounding towns that were represented in the Armistice Day parade at Charleroi this year, the Monessen High School band, under the di- rection of Mr. Paul Passoja, had the distinction of winning the first prize. The band has also taken its place in the com- munity war effort and plays regularly for the draftees who leave for camp. Part of the regular function of the band is to play at all the sport events. Our football and basketball games never would be the same if the band were not present.

Uaafzubza The High School Orchestra, under the cap- able direction of Miss Reah Seanor, has com- pleted another successful season. As is its usual custom, the Orchestra has per- formed at all of the important high school func- tions. A After several months of intense preparation, the Orchestra presented its Annual concert in January. Among the numerous well-known selec- tions that were played, the one that was best received by the audience was an arrangement of selections from Show Boat. ln February, the Orchestra continuing its policy of entertaining the public, put on its usual good performance between acts of the Senior Class Play, The Rlad Hattersfy The climax of an unusually busy and brilliant season was the important part performed by the Orchestra in the Operetta Rio Ricofy The performance portrayed the excellent coordina- tion that exists between the Orchestra and the Glee Clubs. Beyond its entertainment value, the Orchestra also functions as a club with its own officers and customs. One of the most distinctive feat- ures of the club is the presentation of the much honored Orchestra pins to those members who have served the required periods. Members who have served two years receive silver pins and those who have served four years and have held solo positions receive gold pins. The officers elected to serve this year were Lander Chaverin, presidentg Louis Rizzuto, vice-presidentg Joe Bafile, secretary-treasurerg lllary and Rlargot Leinberger, librarians.

Rio Rico began as Amos Molecule, inventor and professor at Brighton college, with his gold detector and a few of the Brighton students were about to leave on a treasure hunt. The Gold Recovery Expedition, the technical name for the trip, was paid for by Lewis Morgan, a wealthy financier. On reaching the island Professor Molecule and company were amazed to find pirate ghosts who were also looking for the same lost treasure. The pirates led by the mysterious Black Spider, took matters into their own hands and made Professor Molecule, king of Cocus Isle. Along with the gold detector they set out to find the A King is Born I lost treasure. Having found the gold, the pirates were about to leave the island when Mr. llflorgan stopped them and explained about the Hmysteryl' he had planned to make the treasure hunt more exciting. The operetta came to a close when the Lewis Morgan . . Jane Morgan . . Julia Morgan ..... pirates having unmasked, turned out to be mere college students and Amos hloleeule received the money to build his new laboratory.

Under the able leadership of Miss Reah Seanor, this group presents several concerts during the school year, besides providing music for school assemblies, graduation exercises, and the May Day festival. The Club is almost always, or so it seems, in the midst of rehearsals for some activity. The combined Glee Clubs have a membership of ninety-two students, fifty-six girl members and thirty-six boys. Tryouts for positions in the Club are held in April, and any member of the sophomore, junior, or senior classes is eligible.

The main purpose of this yearls council was to arouse student participation in the various war drives sponsored by the Red Cross. During the Christmas season, the Council be- gan its first drive. ln an effort to collect Christ- mas gifts, the Council girls were able to arouse the home rooms to such an extent that they con- tributed enough gifts to fill 47 large cartons which were sent to children overseas. The next important cainpagin was the drive to collect old silk stockings for use in war indus- tries. For several weeks it was a common sight to see on every teacher's desk, boxes piled high with stockings contributed by boys as well as girls. Along with its War activities, the Council still retained several of its annual high school functions. Each year the Council selects one out- standing girl of the graduating class and awards to her the Council medal for general excellence. Each year, the Council, with money earned by sponsoring two sweater hops, presents to the school, a worthwhile, permanent gift. The girls who headed the Council were: Pres- ident, Deanna Faust, Vice-president, Rosaly Scuterig Secretary, Doris Anne Steele, Treas- urer, Anna Bflae Russell, nl Zfdlaead. As the women of the XVAACS and the WAVES are essential to the armed forces, so the girls of llfliss Veschio's ushers club have be- come essential to lllonessen High School. Before the girls are accepted into the club as full fledged members, they mugzt prove their capaltilities by serving as hall patrolmen in their Freshmen year. The club, organized in -1935 by the present sponsor, Bliss Lillian Veschio, has always had a limited membership of sixteen. The officers for this year, eleceted as always by two-third major- ity, are: Betty Lucas, President, Eleanor Lupori, Vice-President, and Aladene Carcelli, Secretary- treasurer. The girls in their pretty, long dresses are always around to see that everything runs smooth- ly at the annual Christmas Cantata, the Senior Play, Glee Club Concert, and Operettag the assemblies wouldn't seem the same if the girl ushers werenlt there assisting and directing traffic. Upon graduation, each member receives the well-lcnown and much-admired Usherls Club pin and letter as an award for her service to the school.

The camouflage department of Monessen High School is ably handled by Miss Esther Galley's Art Club. Miss Galley and her twenty- five crayon cadets have worked hard this year to create a greater interest in natural and man made art. Leading the club in its many activities for the year were these high ranking officers: President ..... ...Erma Eileen Chesmar Vice-president .. ........... Steve Bilo Secretary . , . . . .Mary Evancho Treasurer ..... . . .Paul Kuzma Sergeant-at-arms .............. Robert Comet In addition to their rear guard activities of sketching and painting, Monessen,s promising Glad young artists have earned their places in the front lines by their contributions to the nation's mili- tary hospitals. The patriotically designed tallies and scorepads, made and sent by the Art Club, have cheered many wounded soldiers during their stay in the hospitals. For the past four years the ultimate objective of this camouflage crew has been to present an original oil painting to the school. During one of the large art exhibits at the Carnegie Museum in Pittsburgh, the crew selects an original oil painting that is hung in the school corridors. To raise sufficient amount of money to buy the picture, the camouflagers designed and sold various types of novelty pins and ornaments. A aa, mam' ezul The Boy Usher's Club was formed so the Monessen high school might have an organized group of trained boys capable of caring for the large group of patrons at the various social and athletic functions. The Usherls Club with a maximum member- ship of twenty-five, functions as a group or as individuals depending upon the demand of each occasion. In order to belong to the club, each boy must have had at least one year's training on the student patrol, and must remain an active patrol member during the time he is a member of the club. The duties of the boys who are on the job at all events, include ughering, taking tickets, pas- sing programs, and controlling the movement and behavior of students. The only reward received by the ushers be- sides the satisfaction of giving valuable service to the school, is a letter awarded to each boy with the approval of the club and the sponsor. Although the club has no formal officers the boys selected through their good work as ushers to be lieutenants for the year were: Jeff Hewitt, Jack Zelenak, and Robert Hornack.

Among the most im- portant War drives was the collection of keys, promoted by the commercial department. More than 6000 keys were collected for Uncle Sam by the pupils in the Monessen schools, in a drive supervised by Miss Virginia Fallon, com- mercial teacher in the high school. Miss Edwina McLaughlin, high school senior, won the title of Queen of the Keys, when she turned in more than 500. Betty Reday turned in 350 keys. Named as the queen's attendants, are two other senior girls, Miss Ruth Carney and Miss Rosaly Scuteri, who were runners-up in the competition. Dr. A. John Goetz, superintendent of schools, turned the keys over to the War Production Board. Another campaign that was conducted with equal success was the drive to collect books for the armed services. Even before the Victory Book Contest was announced by the Student Council, the students of Room 103 were instilled with the desire to bring in as many books as possible for their rel- atives and friends in the armed forces. During the entire course of the contest, the students of Room 103 were engaged in friendly competition with other rooms. Mrs. Duaine Hicks was the 'fengineu of the crew-clearly conveying the need of good reading material for the soldiers and sailors. It was quite a surprise landing for the students of Room 103 to hear that they Won the Victory Book Contest but the sentiment of the students was best expressed in the statement made by several l03-ers -- 'Tm glad to know that l can do my little bit to help win the Warlm Q - 2 fi MR lf Slums VX H ffl' A Q32 GQ' , 9, 4 3 PW maxi N7 QS Q Kp.

John Reed and his able assist- ants, hir. James Currie, hlr. James C. Schrading, and hlr. Frank llfic- Kosky enjoyed an undefeated season. VVith their nine victories and one tic, the Reedmen also won the Valley Big Five championship. Scoring 299 points to the opponents' 18, the Greyhounds had the best offensive and defensive record in the WPIAL. Leon Johnson and Ed- ward Dastolfo carried the offensive burden for the 'Hounds with commendable assistance from Don Shrader, Edward Staycer, Joe Beck, Allen Crosby, and Francis Branch. The bul-- warks on the defense were Captain Jim Smarelli, Mike Dzonko, Charles Comko, John Resetar. Joe Kasper, August Galente, George Falbo, and Richard Heath. Coach Reed started practice at Kiski on Aug- ust 24, although Rankin did not invade the lklonessen stadium until September 4. Cn that evening the Greyhounds celebrated by a sur- prising 26-0 triumph over a presumably strong 'jack Rabbit eleven. ' After a week lay-off, the Reedmen traveled as under-dogs to Monongahela to battle with the VVildcats. Shrader's plunge for the extra Conch JOHNNY REED Qaeda! 7943 point after the touchdown pass from Johnson to Staycer in the second period proved to be the winning factor making the final score, 7-6 Monessen. The third and fourth consecutive victories came when Central Catholic and Donora were trounced at the stadium by the scores of 33-0 and 18-0 respectively. Then came the unforgettable battle with Brownsville at Brownie town on October 9. By tightening up in the shadows of their own goal posts, the Brownies managed to hold lllonessen to a 12-12 tie, thus throwing the ,Hounds com- pletely out of the WPIAL running. Charleroi was the next victim of our fierce attack when it invaded yHoundtown on October 16 only to return with a score of 25-0, downcast, to the Magic City. Monessen then defeated Cannonsburg the following Friday evening to the tune of 39-0. October 30 wilf long be remembered by Kiski Prep boys as being the first time they were ever beaten by a high school team. The final figures were 14-0. Thsc whole bench was cleared on November 6 when the Essen lads annihilated Norwin 73-0. Schenley almost met the same fate the fol- lowing week when it wilted early in the game, allowing the Reedmen to march to an easy 52-0 victory. The end of a successful season saw johnson placed on the all WPIAL team, and along with Comko, receiving honorable mention on the All- State team. The 'Hounds were represented on the Big Five eleven by Johnson, Shrader, and Dzonko. Left to right: lst row-Natali, Hardoby. Dwnko.

Of the one hundred and fifty freshmen, sophomores and juniors who tried out for the positions, four made the grade. These four, Mathilda Beres, Betty Kunca, Lee Keefer, and Curtis Sherwin, along with the four veter- ans, Vilma Duralia, Charles Freidhoff, Betty Ruth Horne and William Rodgers, made up lVIonessen's crack cheerleading squadron for 1943. Garbed in their snappy black and white uni- forms, this enthusiastic group opened its bag of tricks to lend pep and color to the athletic events throughout the year. Besides leading cheers at all the home football and basketball games, this year's cheering squad raised the tempo of the student cheering sections by the introduction of three new cheers. In addition to leading and promoting new and old cheers, the cheerleaders this year as ever, held two most successful parties honoring the football and basketball players.

THE NON-UNION MAN The non-union man is a person who reaps where he has not sown. He comes at the hour and receives his penny. 'He gains and profits by the efforts of others to whom he has given no support. Worse than that he destroys the unity of the union man. The union man rep- resents unity, a builder of nation, moulder of institutionsg unity made of individual sharing, borrowing, respecting ideasg individuals toler- ant of race and creed working together for betterment of self, others, and country.
