Around you centered the learning and ac- tivity from which you established scholarship, leadership, and friend- ship. Your achievements will for- ever linger in the halls of your Alma Mater. fb J Eaafufafg ' Seven men, Whose influence plays an important role, comprise the Mon- essen School Board, which makes a successful effort to establish pleasant conditions and surroundings for the many students who pass through the halls of learning in our high school. Each graduating class of Monessen High School, a generation of Ameri- can youth, owes a real debt of grati- tude to the Board of Education for our educational system. Through the untiring efforts of these visionary leaders, they do their utmost to meet every need of Monessen High School. Mr. Stephen Mah President M I ph Check Mr. Perry Cozzcx Mr. Harry Dale Dr. Ioseph Dudus Mr. Samuel Pcmteleo Dr. A th y Pe To th.e Class of 1948 My Young Friends: Your high school journey is at an end. In following diligently the sign-posts along the way, and in pursuing faithfully the indicated and charted course, you have reached your destination. With graduation you start on a new journey - largely alone. The daily safe-guards and beneficent counselling, the wholesome controls and balances which your schools furnished, will no longer be at your service. You travel at your own risk, over a hazardous road. Do, be careful! What you did up till now, is not nearly so vital as what you shall do in the span ahead. What manner of men and women you are now, is not nearly so momentous as what manner of men and women you will become in the offing. Do, make your progress sure, and your dreams secure, under God's Providence. Yours sincerely, A. J. G. Not in the clamor of the crowded street, Not in the shouts and plaudits of the throng, But in ourselves, are triumph and defeat. Longfellow. Superintendent ol: Schools Dr. A. John Goetz MR. K. PIPE STERRETT. A. B.. M. A. Principal of Monessen High School MR. THOMAS F. PRESTON. B. S., M. ED. Principal cmd Vocational Coordinator Of Vocational School Principal's Message : Congratulations to the graduates of the class of '48, May your preparation be a stepping stone to greater achievement and may you do well that for which you are prepared. Always practice the golden rule. Be prudent, be patient, and persevere. Best Wishes for health and happi- ness in your chosen careers. K. F. S. Seniors : Today, you graduate. You and your loved ones look with pleasure and satisfaction up- on a milestone reached by mutual strivings. Of course, you will bear in mind that the rung of the ladder was never meant to rest upon, but only to h.old your foot long enough to enable you to put the other somewhat higher. T. F. P. MR. W. R. H. PATTERSON, A. B.. M. A. Vice Principal of Monessen High School MISS BESSIE C. PRESTON. B. A.. M. A. Vice Principal of junior High School 'Uice Pu ' Graduates 1 i This class can truly and boastfully say that Monessen has waited fifty years for the Class of '48, Since service is the price exacted for the priv- ilege of occupying space, may each of you render service commensurate to the prepara- tion afforded you, living richly in the hearts and lives of many, causing Monessen to exert a greater influence in the coming years. W. R. H. P. Dear Graduates : During the twelve years of your school career, you have learned the fundament- als upon which to build a happy and purposeful future. Along with. the knowledge of books you have been taught the values of proper social relationships. To these dis- ciplines, add conscience, and your earthly lives will be en- nobled by righteous deeds, in preparation for true success and happiness hereafter. B. C. P. GW ' ' ' The members of our faculty have unself- ishly devoted their time and effort to see that we obtain all the knowledge and preparation needed for success. The teachers in the classrooms h.ave given us the opportunity to learn about our country and others, have taught us to speak and write our own language correctly, provided us with know- ledge that would enable us to enter either the scientific or business field, and have, through their untiring efforts, given us th.e background to make us better citizens of tomorrow. To these, our History, English, Science, Commercial, and Math teachers, we owe a great debt of gratitude. Miss Marcella Amann, B. S. - - Home Economics Miss Edna M. Boag, B.

The thought of being a 'fbig senior made us feel very proud and important, and we were quite eager to begin our journey through our senior year .... Boarding the bus, we took our places and began talking over our summer vacation with our friends. Before long, we were cheerfully greeted by our expert guides, teachers that is, who distributed our travel pamphlets that would aid us in Spanish, English, French, History, Math, and much to our sorrow, good old Chemistry. Those interested in the business world were given pamphlets on shorthand and bookkeeping .... During the months of September, October, and November, we stopped off at the Memorial Stadium on Friday nights to watch our sturdy classmates in their thrill-packed tilts on the gridiron. Of course, during these months, we were constantly increasing our knowledge that would make us a prominent class in the history of Monessen High School .... Some of us stopped in at the gym to urge on our determined basketball team. Those more musical minded, went down to the Little Iowa Theater to enjoy the music of our talented Glee Clubs in their concert and their impressive Christmas Cantata .... During the month of December, all thoughts were turned toward the annual Junior-Senior Christmas Dance. Great plans were made and on the nineteenth of December, we made our way into the beautifully decorated gym to dance to the music of Tiny Wolfe and his orchstra. The days following were spent in carol singing and our work, for the time being, was forgotten .... After spending a couple of weeks in the state of Christmas cheer, we once more boarded the Greyhound Special, looking forward to a bright New Year. But, oh! The mid-semester exams put the damper on our spirits. However, safely pulling through those exams without any accidents, we joyfully continued on our way. Stopping at a newsstand to pick up the latest paper, we anxiously scanned the headlines and, lo and behold, the names of our honor students were there in front of us. How proud we were! Turning the page, we were pleased to find that our Senior Play was receiving much praise and admiration from the critics. The gay operetta also topped the list of current theater productions. Trying to catch up on our work, we were suddenly aware that the greater part of our journey lay behind us .... We continued our journey into the state of pomp and beauty to watch our lovely May Queen proudly reign over her court. We remained here to attend the long awaited Junior-Senior Prom, a night that will forever linger in the hearts of all . . . . Immediately we began leafing through our pamphlets trying to refresh our memory for the final exams. It was a tough job, but hurray! We made it .... At last our final destination, graduation, appeared on the horizon. As our bus drew closer to the stadium, we glanced from one classmate to another, wondering when and where we would meet again .... The impressive commencement ceremony was over before We knew it, and after bidding our classmates a last farewell, we proudly left the stadium. Once again we boarded our buses that would take us to all parts of the world, leaving behind us expert guides and pamphlets to be used by the classes that will follow us. INIY ALMASI, CHARLES Voc.

Preston A sense of distinction is given to our class by its governing organization, known to you as the Junior Council. To obtain privi- leges, and to get our social functions in order are some of their duties. They work hand in hand with their capable sponsors to undertake any tasks that may be thrust upon them. Sparks really fly when the junior and senior heads are together. Then we know that big party plans are in the making. Of course you know that it's this group that starts the ball rolling for the annual Christmas Dance and the Prom. They are always willing to take suggestions from their fellow classmates, and to carry them out in a demo- cratic way. IUNIOR COUNCIL Row l: Selepchuk, Melis sms, Reycroft, Zilkcx.

Thrills, comedy, talent, romance, all given for your pleasure. . . . . Now, folks, the show at the Big Top doesn't start for a while, so if you will follow me to the midway, I will present the greatest sideshow performers ever presented to the public .... Yes sir, right over here for instance, we have Jack Muscles Sparacino, who will leave you wide-eyed at his spectacular feats of muscle power .... But follow me, we haven't much time before the big show begins, and we still have a few other acts to see .... At the next show we find Dale Obade, our India rubber-man, who can stretch himself into all sizes and shapes .... If you will kindly come along, we shall go to the Big Top where the most talented group of performers in the world await our arrival .... On your left, as we enter the Big Top, you see our circus band, the best group of musicians to be had .... We have Eddie Dacko, Ed Rizzutto, and Tom Blackie Nuzzacci at the trombones, Kay Sterrett and Walt Radosh at the sax, plus Joe Regula and Kirk Saylor serenad- ing us on the clarinet. Horning in, is Rennie Manetti going to town on the tuba, and Bob Gribben making those drums rumble for help. Talented Eddie Dalfonso accompanies them on the ivory keys .... We must not forget to linger a moment to hear the melodious voices of our chorus of men, Mike Capco, Bob Ondulick, Bob Pastella, Frank Taravella, and women, Kay McAlpine, Jean Sawich, Argiro Koklanaris and Doris Conti .... If you folks will take your seats, we will commence with the main attractions. . . . . If you're having trouble finding your seats, our ushers, Alfred Amatangelo, David Newman, Paul Kisinko, Edwin Dawson, Bill Moffat or John Selcan will aid you .... Yes indeed folks, in each one of our three rings there will be a show going on all th.e time. . . . . In the first ring, we have a sensational group of bareback riders. They are Loretta Dwyer, Betty Sabo, Alice Kovach, and Ruth Rosiak, who will make you gasp for breath at their feats of balance and precision .... In the middle ring we have a group of performers who will put on a mock basketball game. Displaying their accuracy and skillful ball handling will be Eddie Hasco, Wally Harris, Walt Lave Malinchak, Ray Johnson, and Delmar Frew .... By the way, here's a little tip to you, ladies and gentle- men. If you get thirsty or would like something to please your appetite, don't forget our concession stands. Barbara Beycroft, Ellen Harrison, and Alice Waytovich are handling the soft drinks that will satisfy your thirst, while Marie Melissas, Martha Wilton, Carole Economy, and Rosemary Swade, will be selling candy and popcorn .... Before the closing parade begins its tramp around the arena, let's go to the third ring to see our clowns, Elisio Di- Vitto and Frank Pullion, who will throw you -into fits of laughter . . . . Well folks, this ends this year's activities, but we will be back again next year with an even better show.

It's time for a day with the sophomores .... Hurry, hurry, we don't want to be late, or do we! .... Ah, ah, don't leave before you get prettied up. After all, you're going to meet the sophomores of Monessen High. Ready? .... I Entering the building whom do we see waiting for us but two of our faithful ushers, Vernon Behanna and Dorothy Andercheck. They are going to show us around, so let us begin our tour .... As we pass the office we see Ken Husher, John Husher, and Ann Sofilkanich, some of our sophomore patrolmen, getting their orders from their sponsor, Mr. Patterson. Our patrolmen have the tedious job of regulating traffic throughout the halls .... Let us go to some of our sophomore classes and see a few of our geniuses at work. Outstanding in Latin are Marilyn Voorhees, Patty Johnston, and Joe Maldonado .... When you mention a hypotenuse, triangle, or bi- sector, you'1l have Edgar Duncan, Victor Wysochanski, and Thomas Feehan on your trail, for they know all about these. When some students come out of plane geometry, they look as if they had just come off the J ack Rabbit .... Wait, What's that we hear .... It sounds like music. Well, it's our orchestra and combined Glee Clubs practicing for their operetta. Let's go down and watch them for a while, and see what starring sophs we have there. In the Girls' Glee, we find Beverly Junk carrying sweet solo music, also Nancy Travis, Marianne Skirpan, and Margaret Ambrose doing much toward the perfection of beautiful music. The Boys' Glee has Paul Kowell, Edward Sedlar, and Dallas Lea, lending their voices to the good old Monessen High. In the orchestra, we have Eugene Proch, Eugene Kudlik, Jim Destefano, and Donna Stofka aiding in the music making .... Now let's go upstairs, providing you want to leave this beautiful music, and take a peek in at the debate and forensic classes. In the debate section, we have Stanton Farber, Jim Manderino, and Robert Vitalbo earning a name for themselves and helping to make the name of M. H. S. better known. In forensics, we have Lola Gaudio, Jane Beatty, and Kathryn Ch.eck doing outstanding work. They .... oh, oh .... there goes the last bell, and we had better hurry, because we still have plenty to take in before the end of our Day With The Sophomores .... Since this is the night for the Junior Classical League to meet, let us take a walk over and see what goes with the sophomores there. This club, with its sophomore president, Roderick Wiseman, is composed entirely of ener- getic students. How do we know? Well, they have all taken or are taking Latin, wh.ich requires plenty of energy . . . Let us n-ow take a quick jaunt down to the gym and view our basketball squad. Our class is also heavily represented here. With Bill Gilman, Victor Drahobecky, and Leonard Zoretich on the team, what more could we ask? .... To climax this great day, we will take in a football game at the Monessen Memorial Stadium. We just arrived in time, as it is almost kickoff time. Included in the grid- 1I'O1I gang are several sophs who are sure to see action. Among these are fullback, Five-yard Ralston, a snappy guard, Mimi DiFlorio, and a sticky-fingered end, Sonny DeSantis .... Our faithful performer at half-time at these games is the Monessen High Band, with a sophomore leader, Mary Towson, and the snazzy majorettes, Matilda Sowko, Dolores Sowko, and Dorena Yates. Giving their talents to the actual production of the music, we also have many sophs. Don't they look nice in their bright blue and red uniforms? ....

Maybemas that brisk autumn air, or maybe director Paul Passoja injected a secret serum into the veins of his band members that gave them that extra zip during the half-time performances at the football games. .At any rate, the superb exhibitions of musical versatility and the intricate maneuvers of the Monessen High School Band, clad in their snappy new red and blue uniforms, are highly praised by all. No one will forget their impressive ceremony at the dedication of the Monessen Memorial Stadium. Other out- standing performances that were enjoyed by all were On The Avenue and The Parade of the Wooden Soldiers. However, these performances were due neither to the brisk autumn air nor to a secret serum, but to hard work, patience and perseverance on the part of Mr. Passoja and his top- notch band. Along with their half-time maneuvers, the band is always ready to add needed vim, vigor, and color to pep rallies, parades, and other school functions. The members are highly rewarded for their many serv- ices at the annual band concert. A silver pin is awarded for two years, a gold one for four years, and seniors holding solo positions are rewarded with a letter.

It's really not that bad, but these boys who run the drills and lathes with a steady hand, spend most of their time on machines and pay little attention to small articles like pencil and paper. The machinists are often con- sidered the brains of the Vocational gang , because of the great speed they have for learning all about machines. The future of these machinists looks very bright, for there is always a demand for men skilled in their trade .... Hey, you .... Look out! Do you want to get shocked? Oh, don't be alarmed, it's only those juniors and seniors of the Electric Shop throwing a scare into a few of the sophs. These boys were once sophomores, eager to learn their trade, but now they have reached the stage where they are developing the skill in the field of electricity. These electricians, working with wires, staples, gen- erators, and necessary tools, are learning what a hard day's work can be like. They are constantly working on radios and all types of jobs dealing with wiring and are bound to go far in their field .... What's that, mister? You say your car broke down and you want to know if it can be fixed ? Sure thing, just leave it with the boys of the Auto Shop. These dead-end boys are the ones who work on carburators, ignitions, and motors. They always guarantee their work, even though they are full of mischief. As we look around the shop, we see sophs, juniors, and the master-workmen, seniors, that is, taking the different parts of a car apart, giving jallopies a paint job, and administering a grease job to some cus- tomer's car. Hey! We forgot that car that came in a while back. Well, I'll bel They fixed it with perfection. That just goes to show you how efficient these boys are.

Striving to promote and encourage worthwhile activ- ities for the students, is the Vocational Student Council, a democratic organization, composed of one member from each homeroom. The council has placed the welfare of the student body at the head of its list of achievements to better the school. Another duty of this organization is to create a better understanding between the students and faculty. Through this under- standing and cooperation, the council has maintained a high standard of democratic student government.

Governing, protecting, and keeping order are the duties of the Vocational Student Patrol. Under capable supervision, this group of boys enforced law and or- der on the school grounds. They are looked upon as a protector and friend, and are always on the job, ready to undertake any task that may be thrust upon them. Upon graduation, each senior of this worthwhile or- ganization is presented with a Vocational V , sym- bolizing services rendered to the school.

' ' ' The vocational staff of Greyhound annual must possess the wisdom of Solomon and utter words no less wise and truthful about their fellow machinists, electricians and auto mechanics. Realizing this, they have gone through the halls of the Vocational gathering bits of news, about their fellow students, catching them in little informal groups, talking over past experiences or the relating events to come. These six boys who compose this staff have obtained and put into writing the eventful hap- penings of the Vocational High School. V Vocational Editor - - - William Ruoco Vocational Bus.

Everyone cheers for the basketball and football play- ers, everyone cheers and praises the band, now we would like to give a cheer for the ones behind all of these cheers.

The chief aim of th.is lively group is to strive for physical efficiency and with the help of their spon- sor, they are sure to attain their goal. We are proud of these sporting girls with athletic tendencies and congratulate them on their second successful year. President ---- Virginia DiMiche1e Vice Pres. - - - Gail Cheesebrough Secretary ----- Mamie Smerelli Treasurer - - - - Alice Kovach Sponsor - - - Mr. DeAnge1is ,afflwfwfvf AWWWM 1898 ...... FIFTY Ylllllt M - '7fzen Two farms once stood upon the site we now call Monessen. They were owned by A. McMahan and W. J. Manown. A group of capitalists from the thriving community of Pittsburgh decided that this was an ideal spot for a settlement and immediately set out to buy the land. Some of these men were Colonel James M. Schoonmaker, Honorable P. C. Knox, Judge James H. Reed, H. Y- Sellers McKee, George O. Morgan, and George B. Motheral. As we know, each has had a street named in his honor, living monuments to these pioneers who made great financial sacrifices to prove their ideas. Our appropriate name, Monessen, suggests our livelihood and main industry, steel. Named after Essen, the great steel manufacturing center of Germany, we have lived up to and surpassed any hopes and ex- pectations these capitalists held in regard to our growth in this industry. The Mon prefix in our name comes from th.e Monongahela River, which today carries steel goods from our mills to ports all over the world. The first Monessen election, in which John Beal was elected burgess, started the town toward many civic improvements. Fordam, which Monessen was originally called, had as its first building a restaurant on Schoon- maker Avenue and Fifth Street. The first patter of little feet in this ever-growing community came from John Cooper, son of Chief of Police D. W. G. Cooper, and the first brick building was Louttit's Hall, now owned by the Monessen News-Call. In eighteen hundred and ninety-nine, the town put up an ultra-modern structure which became the first pillar of education, the McKinley School. Along with education came our spiri- tual guidance, shown by the sixteen churches which were organized by the year nineteen hundred and three. We now see the pioneer citizens of Mon- essen advancing in the fields of religion, education, culture, and industry. All of these were needed to change our town into The Industrial Center of the Upper Monongahela Valley. 0F Pll0GllllSS ..... 191.8 IW -New Today, as we pass through our farms on the two and one half mile avenue called Schoonmaker, we notice a change. A city has sprung up in the last fifty years from a few pioneers to a community of twenty-five thousand. We are proud of not only our roaring blast furnaces and billow- ing smokestacks from our never ceasing production of steel, but we boast of our civic developments, equalled by few. Our fine water supply, gar- bage incineration plant, motorized fire department, and adequate sewage are some of the innumerable civic qualities available to all. Monessen takes pride in its progressive business section, covering two spacious avenues, that is contantly widening its boundaries for new establishments. With our active Chamber of Commerce ever striving to make Monessen a better place to live and our municipal officials enacting their duties in the modern City Buildng, our citizenship is at all times kept alive to its future needs. Our mayor, along with our city council and capable police department, form the executive, legislative, and judicial segments of our city govern- ment. We have today a public library catering to the literary desires of both young and old. The schools and library together form an unbeatable pair in the art of education from every angle. Our City Park, with its thirty-nine acres of rolling hills, provides endless hours of enjoyment for all through its picnic tables, shelters. kiddy rides, and tennis courts. It has drawn the attention and admiration of visitors from many neighbor- ing towns wh.o flock toward it each summer to enjoy its serenity and recreation. Along the outskirts of this playground is the new housing project which has recently sprung up. With these many new projects plus our ancestral principles, we have a right to be proud of this City of Opportunity. But while proud of th.e past, we must not be satisfied with the present, but build for the future.
