STORY OF A YEAR OF WORK AND EDUCATION This is the book ot life at Monessen High School. The following pages portray the events and activities that have shaped our life during the past year. Friendships that will endure long after we have graduated and knowledge which will enrich our lives have been gained through the years at Monessen High. We acknowledge the time and energy spent unseltishly by those men and women who have guided and counseled us throughout the years. We hope that you will enioy and share with us our moments of hap- piness and success - the gay, the serious, and the unfor- getable. We proudly present the Monessen High School Yearbook. l ft 0 QW WE DEDICATE THIS BOOK TO A MAN OF EARNED CREDIT The Greyhound Staff of i956 dedicates this record of the academic and social world at Monessen High School to Dr. K. Fife Sterrett, in grateful recognition of his leadership and wisdom. During his 20 years as principal, Dr. Sterrett initiated many vital advances to the school's reputation in school and public affairs. Be- sides his great task of improving every segment of the high school's world, Dr. Sterrett has maintained a direct contact with students and has made their welfare his primary interest. In providing students with the most progressive methods of obtaining a better education, Dr. Sterrett has strengthened their capabilities for creating a better place for themselves in the future. His departure fills us with a deeply felt regret which is hardly expressive of the school's great loss. We of the Greyhound Staff wish Dr. Sterrett many happy years in the future-years happy in a measure equal to the success he acquired so modestly as principal of Monessen High School. For a job well done, we say, Thanks, Dr. Sterrett, and best of luck. .e, 3.

There was the Junior Jamboree, the class play Beauty and the Beef and the Junior-Senior Prom. At last their year finally came. This is the year that will linger longest in their minds be- cause it is the last one. First came election of class officers and senior council members who planned their last Christmas Dance, Snowflake Fantasy. Following the holiday season was the class play, Curtain Going Up, a top-notch pro- duction. Soon came Class Night, Senior Teas, Banquets, and finally . . . Commencement.

First of these events was the play, Father Knows Best, high- lighted by an all-star cast. Following the play the Junior Jamboree, which proved itself most entertaining, was equally successful. In May, each iunior's dreams was fulfilled upon enter- ing the enchantingly beautiful atmosphere of the Junior-Senior Prom. Although on the sur- face the year seemed to be gilded with an abundance of social events, underneath the class worked diligently on all phases of school life, including many honor roll achievements. Looking forward to their senior year the iuniors are confident that it will be iust as successful as the year gone by, and can anticipate the future with a good solid background.

A few of the main ones are trying to raise the stand- ards of efficiency through extra typewriting practice and trying to achieve TOO words per minute. Some of the activities of this group are studying surveys made by former club members who are secretarial graduates of Mo- nessen High. The discussion of habits and at- titudes needed to establish good character and to develop a pleasing and charming personal- ity are other aims of this club. The officers of this club are: Janet McGee, president, Millie Gwyer, vice-president, Lois Rauscher, secretary, and Gerry Troychak, treasurer, who, along with Mrs. Eisaman, strive to attain more efficient, capable, and successful secretaries in the world of business. EFFICIENCY CLUB Further Academic LIBRARY ASSISTANTS Spurred on by their sponsor, Miss Catherine King, and their officers, Veronica Yursco, pres- identg Janice Palmintera, vice-president, Rose Marie Nolfi, secretary, and Myra Belan, treas- urer, the Library Assistants are given unsur- passed opportunities for growth by rendering services to others. They strive to improve the library service of the school by assisting stu- dents with reference work and helping them to choose books wisely. Everyday chores for these girls include stamping books and remind- ing students of their overdue books. The ulti- mate goal set before this service group is to stimulate reading interest. The artistic displays put on the many bulletin boards help to pro- mote this aim. Through their unceasing efforts, many books such as Soldier of Fortune and Paper Moon have been purchased, lettered, and placed on the shelves for the convenience of the student body. Always cheerful, ever friendly, and constantly on the iob are the perfect words to describe the library assistants of the Monessen Junior-Senior High School. Row I-I. McGee. I. Burger, M. Gwyer, I.

Through assembly pro- grams, club projects, and annual exhibits, the J.C.L. teaches its members to hold an avid in- terest in the works ot ancient Greece and Rome. The club also attends the annual Latin Exhibition at the Buhl Planetarium to admire among others their ovvn skillful contributions.

Enioy- ing their work in helping the members are the officers: Gloria Lupoli, president, Jackie Cieply, vice-president, Norida Senich, secretaryp and Marion Ferrer, treasurer. The club members use their imagination in typing, and as their fingers move swiftly over the keys, they create a great skill of accuracy. Miss Fallon helps to prepare them tor secretarial positions after graduation, To gain experience these ambi- tious speed typists spend their extra time ren- dering their services to teachers and adminis- trators. These efficient girls vvill in time make some boss a very happy employer ot a well- 'rained secretary. Character and Poise TENNIS CLUB Tennis anyone? These are familiar words shouted by summer tennis enthusiasts. Having acquired the tennis bug from the recreation department's summer program, many of our athletically inclined students organized a tennis club. Working with their sponsor, Miss Mary Kordistos, and officers, Jim Baker, president, George Katsuleris, vice-president, Julia Alatsis, secretary, and Vera Victoria, treasurer, the members learned theory during the winter and developed court skills in serving and play- ing in the spring. Perhaps you have seen some of these boys and girls, clad in white sports clothes, charging around the tennis courts yelling deuce ithis means the score is tiedj, fault lout of boundsl or ace Ca powerful serve that can't be re- turnedl. This romantic game is loads of fun with the loser always ending with love iequals to a zero scorel. Clubs GIRLS' USHERS CLUB Courtesy and cheerfulness are the Girls' Ushers Club's keynotes of success with audi- ences and adult school groups. The members are always ready to perform their duties at civic as well as school functions with a smile. Besides preventing congestion and confusion, the girls collect tickets, pass out programs, and provide the best seats possible for the audi- ence. Their value is especially evident in their handling of school rallies and assemblies. In the spring, the annual club banquet was held, climaxing a year of varied activities. Gold pins were presented to the graduating seniors at the banquet. The purchasing of these pins was made possible by the club's sponsoring an assembly and holding a dance. Plans for the banquet, as well as the club's activities during the year, were made by the club's sponsor, Miss Mary Koklanaris, and the officers: Barbara Farnsworth, president, Nancy Gouger, vice-president, and Nancy Kuvinka, secretary-treasurer.

SENIOR DRAMATIC CLUB The chief aim of the Dramatic Club is to aid its members in developing a deeper apprecia- tion of good theatre. Under the direction of their capable sponsor, Miss Carolyn Sedey, and their officers, Donna Maykovich, president, Nancy Kuvinka, vice- president, Sadie Jane Tyler, secretary, and Barbara Farnsworth, treasurer, the members of the Dramatic Club have been learning of the history of the theatre. Through this foun- dation the group tries to understand various styles of acting, the co-ordination of body and voice, make-up techniques, and acquirance of good theatre presence. Thus, through these obiectives, the members are provided with an excellent outlet for creative expression. Al- though but a few of these students may be- come professional, the entire group will have a sufficient theatre background called for in the average individual. Clubs F. T. A. Diligently preparing for the future is the Future Teachers of America. Under the able supervision of Miss Wilma Lander, the F.T.A. members are provided with specific informa- tion about opportunities in the various fields of education. The F.T.A. acquaints young people with in- spiring stories of teaching in the past. They are encouraged to cultivate in themselves the qualities of personality and character, which are the foundations of successful teaching in the future. Their yearly program includes ushering at Parent-Teacher meetings and selling Monessen High School stationery. Under the guidance of the officers: president, Lillian Duvall, vice-pres- ident, Patty Buchar, secretary, Judy Milinovichg and treasurer, Marilyn Smith, the club pro- gresses onward, Visiting grade schools and observing teaching methods are also among their various activities.

DRAMATIC CLUB If you ever get in the mood for a bit of drama you should saunter into room lO7 where you would see Miss Margaret Conroy's Dramatic Club in action. To develop poise is one of the main purposes of the club. Under the leadership of their officers: Shirlee Alte- mare, presidentg June Wiker, vice-president, and Sandra Wilcox, secretary-treasurer, the en- thusiastic members acquired artistic apprecia- tion and learned how to creatively express themselves. Their high aims and ideals have kept the girls quite busy. CAREER CLUB To secure information about various fields of occupation open to women and to find what personal qualifications are necessary for suc- cess in fields of employment is the purpose of the Career Club. At the weekly meetings the members hear reports on various professions. Throughout the year they have had business and profes- sional men and women as their guest speak- ers. The club is led by Rochelle Weiss, presi- dent, Lia Daniele, vice-president, Helen Hreno, secretary, Patty Giannetti, treasurerp and Miss Katherine Lermann, sponsor. Work Draws Out Personality PATROL CLUB Members of the Patrol Club, sponsored by Mr. Alfred Hazelbaker, consist of boys and girls from both the iunior and senior high schools. The officers are: president, Wilma Bass, vice-president, Judy Todarog secretary, Rose Duche, and treasurer, Leo Fallon. The aims and obiectives of the patrol club are to keep traffic flowing smoothly in order to avoid and to prevent confusion. To promote safety in both schools is the purpose of the club. Assigned to posts located in either of the two buildings, this group has succeeded in keep- ing our halls orderly. DISTRIBUTIVE EDUCATION Occupying positions at local retail establish- ments, members of the Distributive Education Club gain first hand experience in the art of retail merchandising. Learning fundamental methods of good sales techniques in the morn- ing session of school, the students then use practical application in the afternoon and eve- nings, while working and earning money. Various displays on advertising, window dress- ing, and arrangements of show cases are in- cluded in their activities. Their store-like room contains displays of merchandise and colorful bulletin boards. Many store executives will rise from this group. lubs Forensics Strive To Master Through the art of speaking, the Monessen High School National Forensic League has once again brought honor to their school. Under the sponsorship of Miss Carolyn Sedey, the participants in boys' and girls' ex- temporaneous speaking, oratorical, humorous, dramatic, and original oratory have had a suc- cessful season participating in various tourna- ments. In case you are one of the persons who are unacquainted with the various speech divi- sions, here are a few of them defined. Ex- temporaneous speaking is a speech on current events. The speaker is given approximately 20 minutes to prepare his speech and may give it with the aid of reference cards. Ora- torical is giving a speech that has been pre- pared and studied before hand. lt is usually given without reference notes and is iudged on quality of the deliverance. In original ora- tory, the speaker follows the same procedure as in oratory, but he writes his own speech which may be on any subiect he desires. Hu- morous and dramatic readings are prepared speeches similar to those in oratorical, but dif- ferent because of the subject matter. Dra- matic readings are really excerpts from plays. While serving their school the N.F.L. mem- bers have also learned to better express them- selves through the medium of speech. Debating was sponsored by Mr. John E. Kerekes this year. The debaters attended sev- eral college debate sessions to better acquaint themselves with the latest techniques. Top-Extemporaneous speakers prepare materials. Center-Karen looks at a new oration.

JUNIOR HIGH ACTIVITIES Tops on the list ot Monessen Junior High organizations and activities are the Jr. High Cheerleaders, Student Council, Junior Glee, and various other clubs. The Jr. High Cheerleaders, under the spon- sorship of Mrs. Ena Labeka, their head, Nancy Mentzer, and co-head, Gerry Mascetta, help to make the cheerleaders a vivacious and cheer- ing group. They help to spark spirit into our Junior High Football and Basketball games. When we think ot the Junior High Student Council the first thing that comes into our minds are the foundations on the Junior High School. There would be no better way of ex- pressing it, for under the supervision of its sponsor, Mrs. Elizabeth Askounes, and its ot- ticers: Donna Laatu, president, John Dankosky, vice-president, Helen Federko, secretary, and Joanne Maund, treasurer, the Student Council helps to make the Junior High a better school. Mr. Petaccia, the new Junior Glee sponsor, is trying and succeeding in making the Junior Glee Club a top notch organization that will be well known for its singing ability in the Monessen Junior High School. He is ably sup- ported by the otticers in this task. They are: Judi Epstein, president, Stacy Weibl, vice-presi- dent, Lynn Brown, secretary, and Gerry Bello, treasurer. These organizations along with the other activities of Monessen Junior High School are helping to make it the model of all other Junior High Schools in the valley.

The Future tudent Council STUDENT COUNCIL Among the most important and successful or- ganizations in Monessen High School we place the Student Council. Meeting weekly under the leadership of President John Mallino, the coun- cil solves many of the problems and manages much of the business concerning the school and student body. Its foreign exchange student project, the first in our school's history, was this year's largest undertaking. At the opening of this school term a magazine sale was held to promote the organization of another such project next year. Another first with the council was the holding of a variety show in which talent from neighboring high schools participated. With cash awards as the top prizes, the council held, in early spring, a Safe Driving Essay and Poster Contest for the students of our school. The stu- dents' welfare is not the only concern of the council, for they held a March of Dimes Dance and also a Canned Food Drive for the less for- tunate. Miss Helen Williams is the helpful and conscientious adviser of this extremely active organization. Fosters School Spirit And Pride STUDENT COUNCIL Row 1-L. Katsuleris. M. Max well. E. Chambers, I.

Before the Hounds entered their first game with Greensburg they were three point favorites. But after the smoke cleared it was a far different story. Monessen had whipped Greensburg in a very decisive manner by a score of 33-13, to stretch their opening game winning streak to 18 in a row. Carl Crawley led the way to score three touchdowns and two extra points with Maurice Mathieu and Wayne Cipriani getting the other six-point marker. But in the second game the Hounds didn't fair so well. They played to a 6-6 tie with Monongahela. Mathieu scored the Hounds' only marker. lt was at practice dur- ing the week between the first two games that Monessen lost the services of end George Chico Loukas. ln the next game with Uniontown the Greyhounds again marked the victory column with a 13-6 win over the Red Raiders. Monessen had to come from behind to win on a muddy field, with Crawley and Cipriani doing the scor- Top-Manaqer Melvin Mills surveys damage.

But this was an up and down Greyhound team, and unfortunately the following week was a down one, for the Hounds were upset by Trin- ity, 13-12. Monessen piled up an early lead of 12-0 on touchdowns by Mathieu and John Boga- vich, but due to carless play and some bad breaks, lost the lead and went down in defeat. The following Friday, Monessen defeated Browns- ville in a very well played contest, 19-O. The Hounds really showed their stuff with Crawley, Cipriani, and Maurice Rice scoring. ln the next Bix Six tussle with Redstone, Monessen again showed who was boss by whipping the Hawks, 26-13. Crawley again led the scoring with two touchdowns. Then North Catholic came to town and Monessen went on a scoring spree. The Grey- hounds whipped the Troians 48-14 with Crawley leading a vast field of scorers with 23 points. In 115 The Greyhounds encounter other teams in enthusiastic scrimmuges. Football The one that got away! Stresses Sportsmanship the annual game with Charleroi, Monessen went down in a heartbreaker, 14-7. The game, as usual, was a hard tought contest, but the Cougars capitalized on their breaks and won. Mathieu scored the Hounds' only six-pointer. The Ros- traver game ended as usual with Monessen on top, this time by a score of 34-14. Mathieu led the scoring column with three touchdowns, get- ting help from Crawley and Rice. In the tinal tilt of th '55 season Monessen defeated Donora 20-O to give the Hounds their best grid record since 1949. Crawley scored two touchdowns to give him the runner-up spot in the Big Six scoring race, only six points behind the leader, Carmen Capelli. Redstone upset Charleroi and the Big Six ended up in a three-way tie between Monessen, Charleroi, and Brownsville. As the '55 Grey- hound gridiron boolc is closed at a very respect- able seven wins, two losses, and one tie, the class of '56 can be proud ot their football team. 116 X Pascarella. R. Bronson. Thiry.

The experts had already thought about it and had rated the Monessen cagers as the third place team in Section Five. Little did they expect the 1955-56 edition of Greyhound basketeers to end up in the WPIAL finals after compiling a season record of twenty-two vic- tories and just four losses. This was a very surprising Hound team. Open- ing the season with a victory over McKeesport, Monessen kept on rolling. They whipped such powerhouses as Washington, Duquesne, Ford City, Johnstown, Greensburg, and Aliquippa. Carrying a winning streak of twenty-two straight Section Five games over from the T953 and l954 seasons ,the Greyhounds embarked on the valley competition and found it not as strong as pre- dicted as they shattered the old section winning streak of twenty-four games. Monessen whipped all valley teams that dared face them. Donora tried to freeze the ball, but the Hounds outfroze them, the Charleroi Cougars tried to slow up the game but the Greyhounds outplayed them, and as the various teams would try different attacks, Monessen could always outplay, outscore, and has literally outfoxed the opposition, carrying their victory skein to thirty-four games. From there the Greyhounds traveled to the Pitt Field House for the WPIAL elminations. ln the first tussle, Washington almost proved too much for the local quintet, but being the tremen- dous team that they are, Monessen came from behind to whip the Prexies, 63-60. ln the quar- ter-finals, the Greyhounds rapped Turtle Creek and they now were in the semi-finals against McKeesport.

Although the crowd screamed Kill the umpirel, the poised Greyhounds kept their heads and pulled the close ones out of the fire. They bunted, homered, and slid their way into the lead, and stayed there. Here's hoping they stay on top in the years to come. E. Mason. I. Duche. I. Comet W. Cipriani. , . 'mncx ' Row 1-R. Minnie.

Crawley. familiar words to the ears of all trackers every- where. The Monessen High School track and field team, coached by Clifford Jones,, completed its second year of competition with a commendable record. The events in which the team partici- pated are principally made up of running, jump- ing, and throwing. The runners take care of the meter runs, relays, and sprints, the jumpers-the hurdles and board jumps, the throwers-the iave- lin, shot put, discus, and hammer throws. Let's hope that the future teams will be as successful as the first two teams have been. Fu Cheerleaders of School Spirit CHEERLEADERS Shining examples of vim, vigor, and vitality is a perfect description of this versatile group, the Monessen High School cheerleaders. ln their snappy black and white unitorms they added spice to school lite with their entertain- ing pep rallies, which were eagerly anticipated by the student body. At football and basket- ball games these girls did much to boost the morales ot both the team and the students. Highlighting the close of football season was the long awaited Pigskin Prance, at which time the Football King and Queen were crowned by Mr. Armand Niccolai. Under the leadership ot the captain, Lenora DeVittio, co-captain, Rose Marie Koval, and sponsor, Mrs. Ena Labelca, the cheerleaders remain a lasting mark ot school spirit, M.H.S. can be proud of these tine lasses who are an example ot fair play and good sportsmanship.
