If we have been able to acquire at least some understanding of the world in which we live, our time has been well spent.

MULLIN Friendliness, kindness, patience, and integrity are characteristics that portray our Principal—Dr. William D. Mullin. We, the Class of 1962, show our appreciation for these outstanding qualities by awarding this, the last edition of the Colophon, to our leader. After graduating from the Pennsylvania State University in 1922, Dr. Mullin came to Hurst High School as a teacher of physics and chemistry. In 1924, he was elevated to the office of Principal, a position he has held with dignity until the present. Always interested in educational advancement, Dr. Mullin early in his career earned the Master’s Degree and the Doctor of Education Degree from the University of Pittsburgh. During his administration, Dr. Mullin has become a beacon of inspiration to everyone that has been associated with our school. Students were made to realize that they were on the brink of undreamed progress, and that careers, which were yet only ideas in the minds of imaginative men, lie ahead for those that have ideas, ambi- tion and ability. From Dr. Mullin, students have learned that perserverance discovers new paths; and the more they hunt for one road, the more it leads to others, which brings new thoughts, inspiration, and success. Whether one be a student of today or one of yesteryear, each looks with pride upon his Alma Mater. It is hoped that each graduate may be a living testimonial to the lessons learned here at Hurst. Dr. Mullin has devoted his life to the establishment of these ideals. To Dr. Mullin, we extend our sincere thanks and appreciation. May he feel the joy of having had a part in the moulding of young minds and continue to reap the rewards of a task well done. inistratton = = Administration As the head administrator of the Mount Pleas- ant Joint Public Schools, Mr. Thomas J. Flaherty is responsible to the Board of Education who are elected by the people to operate the school sys- tem. At regular monthly meetings the Board deter- mines the policies which our elementary and secondary schools will follow. To provide the best possible program and facil- ities for the youth of our community is the aim of the administration. As a result of the earnest endeavors and determination of these men are the various courses, activities, and events which we enjoy as students of Hurst High School. MR. THOMAS J. FLAHERTY Superintendent B.Ed., M.Ed. Duquesne University University of Pittsburgh SEATED, left to right: Mr. T. J. Flaherty, Mr. Fatla, Mr. Rusinko, Dr. De Vaux. STANDING: Mr. Wilson, Dr. Briner, Mr. Rich, Mr. Rolla, Dr. Mullin. Another valuable administrator in the Mt. Pleas- ant Joint School System is Mr. Kensey Dillon. His more important tasks include making out the pay- roll, the maintenance of buildings, upkeep of grounds, and supervision of the janitorial force. With the aid of his very capable secretary, Principal William D. Mullin has led another suc- cessful year at Hurst. Dr. Mullin’s job includes the making out of schedules during the summer months, giving references for alumni, keeping state attendance records, and approving all extra-: curricular activities. Along with their usual tasks, these administra- tors combine their forces to make the school year a more enjoyable one for both the students and the faculty. MR. C. KENSEY DILLON A.B., M. Ed.

We became acquainted with fellow students and teachers, worshipped gridiron heroes, talked of Latin and Algebra exams, and last, but not least, we reached our goal—we were finally part of the school. We belonged! Before we could quite collect our senses, we were reliable and understanding sophomores. We now took an active part in school activities and organizations. All too quickly another year passed—a step further in attaining our education. We entered the next year as aspiring and eager juniors proud to be called upperclassmen. Our class play “Headin’ for the Hills” was an avalanche of fun and laughter. As juniors, we were busy choosing class rings and raising money for the Junior-Senior Prom. Eagerly, however, we were looking forward to the day of being called “dignified seniors.” Now we are “dignified seniors” who have acquired the poise and dignity that comes after three years of high school life. Our dramatic talent was dis- played in our successful production of “The Bachelor and Bobby Soxer.” Posing for photographs and exchanging name cards and pictures are a sure sign that graduation is approaching. With graduation all our work and fun together at Hurst will become a memory, a cherished memory. As we worked together in our many enterprises, our common interests and aims, our triumphs and defeats, we have made many memories. To us, graduation seems a great step forward, a great achievement. Yet, it is not the end, but the beginning. We shall find that we must assume new and greater responsibilities, and as we cope with them, may we remember and profit by the example which our instructors and leaders have, by their patient guidance and management of our affairs, given Us here. May the opportunities in the future for each member of our class be as great as that which we have found during the past four years!

Jane Lann KeasSUlCh pee eae ee Bonnie Ahlborn JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY August 31, 1959 should hold a very special place in our hearts, for it was on that day that we, 153 students, officially became “Freshmen” of Hurst High School. It was also on this day that lipstick and shoe polish made its appearance. Naturally, everyone was terrified because there was so much to do in so limited a time and so many new faces to remember. Nevertheless, we managed to get through the first year; but only to look forward to another. Our sophomore year proved to.be much milder because we had nothing to fear. It was now our turn to sit back and.observe the awkward actions of the new “freshies.” But soon the days of “Ivanhoe” and “Tale of Two Cities” in English were over, and also were the days of our sophomore year. Wow! We've finally made it; we are now recognized as upperclassmen. Our junior year was one of the busiest in our lives. Not only did we receive our class rings, but we also staged our first play, “Who Killed Aunt Caroline,” which was a huge success. During these months we put many ideas into effect to raise money for the most important event of the year—the Prom. The last three years have been a long and tedious climb; they are gone and never to be re-lived. We cannot afford to look back, for we are now on the threshold of becoming seniors oursélves. So to the graduating class of ‘62, we extend our sincere wishes and hope you will live up to your distinctions. 37 Junior Class ROW |: C. Sprung, S. Stefl, N. Harrold, K. Rafferty, P. Poche, R.

After finding our homerooms, and memorizing our schedules, we began to find our way around with great confidence and ease. All in all we were the most noticed students at Hurst. Much to our surprise, the time flew and we returned to further our education with graduation as our goal. As sophomores, we became prominent in the field of our achievements. Here we are in ‘62 preparing to be the upperclassmen. We know that the responsibilities are greater but so are the rewards. With two years behind us, we strive ahead. We, the sophomore class, must say farewell to all of our classmates and the sincerest of all good wishes we give to the seniors who have been upperclassmen to us since we were perplexed freshmen. We hope in the next two years we will be “the distinguished upperclassmen” to the perplexed freshmen. Sophomore Class ROW |: B. Curtis, J. Cramer, S. Barron, J. Bash, J. Cunningham, M. Driesdadt, J.

Our first day proved to be as difficult as we had expected, because of the initiation with lipstick and the hunting of the unknown elevator. High school to us was a new experience and after the numerous wrong directions given by the upperclassmen and memorization of class schedules, the freshmen became an important part of the school’s activities. The first football.game and assembly, changing of classes, the coming of bas- ketball and baseball games, and watching studious upperclassmen hurrying through the halls made our freshman year very memorable for all. The opportunity to join various clubs and all the extracurricular activities combined to give us a taste of a well-rounded high school year. As the year came to an end, we eagerly awaited the coming of the new term for then we would be seasoned sophomores and ready to take on new and excit- ing experiences. We, the freshman class, hope that our future years at Hurst can be as suc- cessful as this one has been. Freshman Class 4 AR det it | j 4 ROW 1: B. Ober, L. McKula, D. Porch, C. Ober, B. Pyda, C.

Again, this year, the Colophon staff has endeavored to edit a book which will contain all the happy experiences of every student. This has not been an easy task; it was not merely the putting of words and pictures into print, but mellowing realities into permanent memories with a real meaning. { May this, the last edition of the Colophon, present a true picture of Hurst High School and serve as a reminder of the many happy hours spent with fellow students. a ROW I: V.

Important problems are brought before the Student Council; and after thorough examination and discussion, solutions are arrived at. Leadership of the Student Council is vested in the president who is assisted by capable officers. Mr. Joseph Stas and Mr. Eugene Cibulas, sponsors of the organiza- tion, are available to lend assistance when needed. After an absence of fifteen years in our school program, the Student Council has once more made possible a completely satisfied student body. A chance to acquire excellent training in citizenship and preparation for service in the com- munity are prime functions of the Student Council. Advisers .

Under the very capable supervision of Miss Letitia Myers, the Hurstonian enjoys a high rank in high school publications. Through the constant and fruitful efforts of the members of the Hurstonian Staff, this publication has made impressive strides toward fulfilling the optimistic expectations of the school. The purpose of the newspaper is to provide the school with a publication that is capable of keeping the students adequately informed concerning all current, newsworthy events. The Hurstonian is also a means of entertainment and personal expression; it acquaints the writers on the staff with the techniques of journalism.

To acquaint the members with the problems and responsibilities that will affront them as future teachers, is one of the purposes of the club. Each year the club conducts a project of student teaching. Another project which the F.T.A. undertook was baby-sitting for the P.T.A. As a gesture of friend- ship to the Ramsay F.T.A., a joint meeting was held in March with Mr. Yates, assist- ant principal at Latrobe High School, as guest speaker.

The performance of the Hurricane Band at football games manifested the spirit of the school. At all the school plays, assemblies, and holiday parades, the 72 members of the band displayed their ability in marching and music skills. Notable among the achievements of this group, was the attainment of two positions in the District and State Bands. Under the direction of Mr. James H.

To interest as well as encourage junior and senior girls in some aspect of the nursing profession is the goal of the Future Nurses Club. This is the first year since its organization in 1960 that the members have monitored the medical room. The girls thoroughly enjoyed helping the students and benefited from the experience. On the other hand the students who were administered to are probably still dubious about the student nurses since they lack experience; however, all of the patients have survived. In order to present a one-hundred dollar scholarship to a senior member who has been accepted by a school of nursing, the club has organized throughout the year certain fund-raising projects such as dances, bake sales, collecting bottle caps, and club dues. These funds are also used to buy members senior pins and present them a formal banquet.

Striving to produce better American. homemakers by helping young girls to ' obtain valuable experience in cooking, sewing, and general economic problems, is the purpose of this club. Their motto, “Toward New Horizons,” fits this club perfectly. They are con- tinually striving to obtain more useful housekeeping knowledge, which will be of much importance to our country, not only now, but more so in the future. ae a ee SPONSOlg = ere re ee ee Miss Dorothy Hacker President 4 280s: - ek ees he ae ei ee ies st Patty Baum fee et = Le eee Patty Nunamaker SO CICTAlgueas =eenk ne ee 5 ae ee ee Carol Keto TPEaSUlEr | wee Aan Sh ee ie eS Joan Gondosh Chorus The Chorus, a training class for young voices, is held in high esteem at Hurst High School.

The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer presented March 2, 1962 In this three-act comedy, the main topic centers around the flamboyant life of Richard Nugent—artist, playboy, and general nuisance. When Susan Turner, a teenage girl, becomes infatuated with Mr. Nugent, wild things begin to happen. To complicate matters, Susan’s sister, Judge Margaret Turner, seems to be always presiding at a case in which the accused is none other than Mr. Richard Nugent. Some solution must be worked out. The therapy, which forms the very funny heart of the play, is provided by Matthew Beemish, uncle of Margaret and Susan, and the rather bemused city psychiatrist. After fast-paced action and bright humor with uproarious situations, the play ended successfully. 80 Bessie Kathy Null Judge Turner Sue Craig Susan Turner Linda Lynn Dr. Beemish Eric Jorgeson Tommy Chamberlin Dick Nugent Lawrence Schroll Robert Cibulas Jerry White Eugene Kiral Judge Thaddeus Turner Dave Harr ils y eee Ss ee ___ Thomas Hixson Jean Vance Florence Sandra Fisher Lynn Reese Robert Bellish Melvin Ronald Wright Bailiff Kenneth Fetter Gerald Kutch Bonnie Pavick Joann Muchoney Francis Prosnik Niles Sefchick Nancy Gorton Mary Jane Evancho Mary DeArmint Kenneth Roadman Cigarette Girl Airlines Ticket Clerk Police Officers Directed by Miss Jane Fisher 82 Junior Class Play Ee 3 | = ROW |: B.

Who Killed Aunt Caroline? presented December 1, 1961 In this play was portrayed just the type of people that live next door, however, one of them had committed a murder. Up to the very end, the audience was kept in complete suspense over which of these genial people had poisoned Aunt Caroline. In this three-act portrayal, the audience witnessed a new approach to a mystery play. Instead of filling the stage full of frightening suspects, each with a diabolical reason for committing the crime, the play presented an amiable group of people known as the Endicott Family. Of course, Aunt Caroline deserevd to die, but just who had killed her kept the audience guessing up to the very end. Finally, Miss Mabbitt, a little wren-like character, with no motive at all for committing the crime, confessed to it.

All of these girls were nominated by the junior and senior class members during a student assembly. Another feature of the annual affair was a gruelling gridiron battle waged between Elizabeth-Forward and Mt. Pleasant Joint, with the Vikings emerging as the victors.

Pleasant Joint Vikings Long-awaited history was made in our community this year when the combined football teams of Hurst and Ramsay joined forces for a rough Double-A schedule. Area fans have long awaited for these two schools to join forces as one unit. This year a total of fifteen lettermen were in the fold as the jointure squad began pre-season drills at Ramsay’s stadium. The grid aspirants worked hard because they were well aware of the better competition they would be facing week after week. In their initial season, the Vikings chalked up a commendable record of seven wins and three losses.

The first game was no more than an exhibition warm-up with Rochester. In this game Mt. Pleasant displayed a powerful unit in winning 40-7. League competition began the following week when Baldwin visited the Hurst Stadium. Baldwin had an experienced team that expected to go a long way in the W.P.I.A.L. race. In this game, area fans witnessed one of the hardest fought battles of the season which featured a hard-charging Mt. Pleasant line that made the difference. Final score was Mt. Pleasant 25, Baldwin 13. For Homecoming weekend, Elizabeth-Forward visited the Hurst stadium. It was during the week of this game that the jointure at a student election gave the nickname to our team—the Vikings. Our gridders lived up to this name in the game because the Warriors of Elizabeth-Forward were eager for a win. After an awesome display of offensive power by both teams, the Vikings emerged victorious for the third straight week, winning by the score of 41-25. A real “back-yard” struggle was in the offing the following week, when for the first time a combined Hurst-Ramsay unit collided head-on with a good Greensburg team at Offut Field. Area prognosticators recalled the many fine Hurst and Greens- burg contests in the past and hoped that now our team would have enough to defeat the Golden Lions on their home grounds. The three straight wins made the fans more optimistic. However, a blocked punt put the Vikings in a hole, and they never recovered. The game ended Greensburg 20, Mt. Pleasant 7. Our next opponent was Hempfield, which was one of the better teams in the AA ranks. Both Hurst and Ramsay had played this team previously and these players knew they were in for a rough night. The Spartans featured a massive line and speedy backs. The game was bitterly fought and when the final whistle blew Mt. Pleasant was on the short end of a 20-0 score. Still suffering from their fierce battle at Latrobe two weeks earlier, the un- defeated, title contending Indians of Penn Hills were the next visitors at Hurst's stadium. Our team was up for this op- ponent and the crowd witnessed one of the best contests of the season. In a driving rainstorm the Vikings almost pulled “the’’ upset of the year. However, as the field became soaked, the Indians’ weight advantage finally told the story; Penn Hills 6, Mt. Pleasant 0. Next on the schedule was a competely new team to area fans, the Norwin Knights. Norwin, although not an im- pressive team, boasted one of the heavi- est lines in the W.P.I.A.L. The Vikings hadn't tasted victory in three weeks, but their hunger subsided that night as they downed the Knights at Irwin by a score of 30-13. Fresh from their victory at Irwin, Mt. Pleasant travelled to Vandergrift the fol- lowing week. During the first half the game was close, but as the game wore on Mt. Pleasant’s superior backfield strength spelled doom for the Lancers. Final score: Mt. Pleasant 31, Vandergrift 6. In the final home game, Mt. Pleasant hosted Gateway. The team from Monroe- ville had high hopes of stopping Mt. Pleasant’s new winning streak at two games. After a gruelling contest how- ever, the Vikings again emerged victor- ious by a score of 25-12. Jack Barr turning the corner for long yardage. Mt. Pleasant linemen stack up opposition. A Gateway back on a long gain. A shake of the hand—a flip of a coin—then kick-off. A Viking Interception! Bitner scores after a sustained drive. The final game of the season was with the Derry Area Trojans., At Derry, Mt. Pleasant faced probably the toughest winless team in Class A ranks. The Trojans awaited the arrival of the Vikings with the thought of an upset in mind, for if they could, it would turn a dismal season into a success. However, the Vikings had other ideas as they ended their season victor- iously 38-13. Thus we can close the record book on the first edition of Mt. Pleasant Joint’s football fortunes. Some of the opponents were tougher than expected, and others not so tough. All in all, however, it was a good season of football. The squad was graced with several standout per- formers such as Barry Queer, Tom Yara- binetz, Andy Fornal, Vaughn Bitner, Frank Puskar, and Ronald Burtyk. All of these boys are seniors. Other graduating seniors are: James Yuhouse, Ray Noble, Bob Cibulas, Jack Barr, Tom Coleman, George Boytim, Gil- bert Ludwig, Orlando Bell, Francis Prosnik, George Dodd, and Joe Baluh. One other boy, Bill Goulding, will be ineligible. Hitchock leads Queer on a kick-off return. 2 Ings Vike x MS RAY NOBLE L. E. A senior from the Ramsay building, Ray held down the left end position for the Vikings. Ray was particularly noted for his fine defensive end play. He contributed greatly to the success of the squad. FRANK PUSKAR L. T. Frank was a steady performer for two pre- vious years. When the jointure came about this year, he continued his fine play. A rugged, hard- hitting lineman, Frank always put out 100% in every game. ANDY FORNAL L. G. Another fine ballplayer from Ramsay, Andy added his talents to the M.P.J.H.S. line. A fine competitor, a steady blocker, and a good defen- sive player were attributes of this senior Viking lineman. BOB CIBULAS C. Bob, a senior from Hurst, was a regular per- former for the football squad for two years. Fine offensive blocking was this boy’s trademark. Anchoring a good Viking line, Bob made a fine showing in each contest. RON BURTYK R. G. A hard-working lineman, Burtyk was noted for his ability to open up holes in opposing lines and to lead the way for Viking backs on wide end sweeps. Defensively, he turned in creditable showings at either linebacker or end. Ron was a two-year regular. TOM YARABINETZ R. T. Big, tough, and ready summed up Tom’s play. He seemed to have a knack of being in the right place at the right time. Tom, never recognizing defeat, made a lasting impression on all oppo- nents of M.P.J.H.S. ; JIM YUHOUSE R. E. Steady and reliable can best describe the play of this Viking terminal. A fine down-field blocker and a good short pass receiver, Jim gave the jointure a passing attack that was a threat to the opposition all year. VAUGHN BITNER F. B. Making up for his lack of size with speed, drive, and fierce determination, Vaughn im- pressed area fans. In the Vikings’ toughest games, Bitner was at his best. A fine display of running against Greensburg was the highpoint of the season for him. BARRY QUEER R. H. A big powerful back who was one of the “bread and butter’ runners for Mt. Pleasant best describes Barry. Possessing the power to hit a line and the speed to go around it, made the Viking senior one of the most feared backs in the area. JACK BARR L. H. This boy was the most dangerous “breakaway” running threat on our team. A runner who had the ability to “go all the way” on every carry, Barr posed a serious problem to all foes. Place- kicking was his specialty. TOM COLEMAN L. H. A running back who seemed to explode on each carry best sums up this boy. A hard runner, who possessed fine broken field running ability, Tom added power to the Vikings’ offensiv e play. GEORGE BOYTIM Q. B. George directed the offensive unit of the jointure squad, and helped make it one of the most feared in the area. A truly fine ball handler, Boytim masterminded the important wins of the M.P.J.H.S. grid team. GILBERT LUDWIG Q. B. A defensive specialist, but often displaying great offensive ability, Gib was a valuable asset to our team. Noted for his running ability, Ludwig picked up valuable yardage in crucial games. ORLANDO BELL L. E. A fine all-around athlete, “Boots” lent his serv- ices to the squad in his senior year. A member of the kick-off and punting teams, Bell used his speed to great advantage. Basketball This year, for the first time, the squads of Hurst and Ramsay joined forces to enter into competition against the powerful foes of Section Il. Under the mentorship of Coach Thomas Beck, the newly formed jointure displayed an abundance of determination and desire to make a lasting impression as a Section II contender. Throughout the season, injuries and lack of height plagued and hampered our team’s play. But area fans knew that on any given night, the Vikings could give any member of Section II a fierce battle. This was proven by the close scores of many contests. The first basketball team of Mount Pleasant Joint High School, although they suffered a losing season, gave the people of this area many thrilling moments of action. The combined varsity cagers of Hurst and Ramsay compiled a record of 1 win and 13 losses in their first year of joint team play in Section II. With this action was the promise of “better days ahead” for the hardcourt teams of the jointure. THE SQUAD SEATED: M. Olenchock B. Blaine T. Thomas D. Barnett R. Zsolcsak J. Kashin T.

In that season finale the dreams of a jointure championship were shattered as the opponent, Hempfield, won by a score of 6 to 5. As a team, the jointure squad batted nearly .300. They had a solid team, cap- able of giving the opposition a good game. The ability to come from behind and win crucial league contests marked this year’s team. Although not able to qualify for the championship, the M.P.J.H.S. baseball team made a fine showing for themselves. | | | : | i | SEASON'S RESULTS LETTERMEN MPJHS 2227 1 Penne Jom 2. 4 nek Muchoney MPJHS 2 ee 6 Greensburg 0 aul Kostyo George Boytim MPJHS SS is ] Norwin ------------------+ 2 Jim Yuhouse MPJHS = eee 7 Hempfield 6 Barry Queer .
