1951 ALAURUM A Wroclamation ly ue Senior Class uf New Brighton High School Ve 1951 Alaurum receibed its title from Lthel Chompson, editor of the first Net Brighton High School yearbook of 1923. This title {was chosen from those submitted by the staff. Frequently seen in ald editions of Shakespearean plays, the term “Alaurmm” ammouneed the approach of an important per- sonage. Chus does it herald our amual publication. Published by the SENIOR CLASS of NEW BRIGHTON HIGH SCHOOL NEW BRIGHTON, PENNSYLVANIA In Memoriam RICHARD L. McEWEN In memory of Richard L. McEwen, our Algebra teacher, who was fatally injured in an automobile accident, December 29, 1950. His death was keenly felt by the student body and faculty. Crossing the Bar Sunset and evening star, And one clear call for me! And may the re be no moaning of the bar, When I put out to sea. But such a tide as moving seems asleep, Too full for sound or foam, When that which drew from out the boundless deep Turns again home. Twilight and evening bell, And after that the dark! And may there be no sadness of farewell, When I embark; For though from out our bourne of Time and Place The flood may bear me far, I hope to see my Pilot face to face When I have crossed the bar. —ALFRED TENNYSON [4] Shea lion It was a great task which Mr. Charles Buzard undertook when he decided to coach the N. B. H. S. football team and attempt to lead it from the dark and tangled paths of defeat to the lucid, clear paths of victory. With the zeal of a sculptor creating a statue, Mr. Buzard began to mold a “team,” a group of fellows working for the common benefit of all. Immediately the players came to life. No longer the “defeated” attitude reigned; no longer was there the fear that a fellow player would lie down on his job. Game after game was won through his cool judgment, his experience, and his all around capable leadership. The team completed a victorious season with a record of nine wins, one loss, and one tie. Therefore, we the Class of 1951, are proud to dedicate this issue to a fine coach and leader who gave New Brighton her first W. P. I. A. L. Class A football co-championship. [5] ie ore one! Having completed the first act in the drama of life, the members of the Class of 1951 have prepared themselves for larger roles. Here is a program of high school experiences prepared that their understudies might not have so difficult a time before the footlights.

[8] Superintendent of Siva LO AE CLASS OF 1751: At the time of this writing we are engaged in an undeclared war. The question for which we have no answer, is “How long will it last?” The situation has had a most disturbing influence on our economy, our way of life and especially the outlook of our youth. During times like these, the present becomes dominant in the life of all, particularly that of youth. The future and what it holds seems relatively unimportant. As you graduate from New Brighton High School, I would urge that each of you try to look into the future so that your daily preparation may lead to a long and useful life, filled with the richest of life’s blessings as given to you by your school, your church and your home. ERNEST B. McNITT, M. S. [9] ee LEOYDeE TAYLOR iain: Principal of New Brighton High School TO THE SENIORS: My sincere hope is that your high school days have been meaningful and profitable to you, and that after graduation you may feel that you have received the prerequisites for success in your chosen field. As I note your achievements in life, they will always be an inspiration to me. LLOYD EB TAY LOR [10] 4 ee oh eS Jon MILLER, MELVIN R....A. B., Westminster College, M. Ed., University of Pittsburgh...

Numerous activities were avail- able to us upon entering N. B. H. S. as freshmen such as G. A. A. for the girls and football and basketball for the boys. The choruses and band furnished other fields for our highly endowed class. Our Junior High football team suffered neither a loss nor a tie. Our basketball squad had a successful season with 15 wins and 2 losses. Our class was guided successfully through the year by Jack Dyson with the assistance of Roland Edwards, Charlotte Braun, our accountant, and Donna Grim, the recording secretary. The ability of our group was displayed in several literaries. The literary officers were: President, Betty Kolumban; Vice-President, Alyce Enke; Secretary, Nancy Mandeville; and Marshal, George Banyas. Even though it didn’t seem quite possible we advanced another step in our scholastic career, for now we were sophomores and were allowed to sit with the upperclassmen. To make school life more enjoyable, the annex was finished for our convenience. The boys from the sophomore class, in various fields of sports, were outstanding and continued to be so throughout their senior year. Guidance programs were introduced in which each home room had its turn at the program. Goy- ernor of the sophomores was Eddie Moldovan with Lieutenant-Governor Joe Matasich, his able assistant. Frances Swaney was our secretary and Don Swick handled our finances. Our acting abil- ity was well displayed in “An Evening of Plays” consisting of three one-act plays. Three literaries were held this year with remarkable success.. The acting literary officers were: President—Harriet McConnel, Vice-President—Alyce Enke, Secretary—Lee Harris, and serving as Marshal was Cos- tel Denson. The third phase of our journey carried us into one of the more interesting periods of high school life. This year we presented our first three-act play, ““The Mystery Crooner,” under the superb direction of Mr. Grant. On May 12, the Junior-Senior Prom was a huge success as we danced in a subterranean realm to the music of the “Music Masters.” As students we had pro- gressed very well scholastically as well as in the field of sports. Some members of our class were permitted to attend the Mid-Western Chorus and Band. President of our Junior Class was Costel Denson, Vice-President — Bill McDowell, Treasurer — Arthur Epstein, and Secretary — Nancy Mandeville. Now that we had reached our fourth year in N. B. H. S., we noticed that our previous three year trek had slipped rapidly by and that the graduating seniors were then faced with the stark realization of work for many and college for others. Serving as class officers were: Joe Mata- sich—President, Art Epstein—Vice-President, Nancy Mandeville—Secretary, and Joan Cornelius— Treasurer. Numerous repairs were made in the second floor office, also a new heating system was installed. The “January Thaw,” a recent Broadway hit, was produced on our stage under the able guidance of Miss Lytle. The performance was enjoyed by all. We, the Class of ’51, wish to ex- press our thanks for the cooperation and guidance received during our four year journey through these halls of learning and do feel assured that our time was profitably spent. —Don Moore [16] Joan Cornelius, Treasurer; Art Epstein, Vice-President; Joe Matasich, President; Nancy Mandeville, Secretary S25, spirit shown during the year. | Saeaaee we've had through our twelve years of school.

On board was JOE MATASICH, President of the N. B. H. S. Class of ’51, who was a his- tory teacher in New York. Joe had arranged for a reunion of our class and had left the minor details to us since he could not be in New Brighton until the day of the reunion. As the plane landed and Joe alighted and greeted us, we saw that the co-pilots were GEORGE GRECICH and FRANK BAIR. Stewardesses on the plane were ANN BEDEKOVICH and CATHERINE SPADE. As we walked away from the plane, JOHN HARTMAN, an air- plane maintenance man, came out of the hangar and went over to the jet plane to check it. Already we had seen several of our old classmates, and we anxiously anticipated seeing more at the reunion. Boarding a waiting taxi, we found that it was driven by none other than MIKE DEWHIRST. He told us that JACK STEWART was a Used Car Dealer, and PAUL BIL- SING owned a trucking company for which BOB CANTNER and DON HITES were drivers. Since Joe had not been in New Brighton for a few years, we told him of some of our class- mates who were working in nearby areas. ANGELO GANZ and CLYDE KOAH were machinists at the B. W. Tube Company. ALICE FLEMING, ANNA MAE BERLINE, and MILLIE HUTCHESON were employed by the Bell Telephone Company. Several New Brighton High School graduates were well-established in the community. BOB STEEL owned a Five and Ten Cent Store which was managed by BOB KOLTER and employed KATHLEEN WILSON as ‘a floorwalker. MARTIN YOCKEL was a pharmacist and SONDRA BORIS had found success as a veterinarian. At the Beaver Valley General Hospital, CAROL MANN and SHIRLEY ROM- BOLD were nurses. JACK DYSON was back at his Alma Mater doing a commendable job of coaching the football team. ED FUTATO was the proprietor of an ice cream factory near New Brighton. His personnel manager was DICK ANDREWS and employed in the factory were BOB LOCKMAN and FRANK KRKUC. SUZANNE BURRIS was the bookkeeper, and secretaries were JO ANN HENRY and ALYCE ENKE. Talking of ice cream made us all very hungry so we stopped at Bert’s Bar-B-Q for a snack. We ordered some ice cream, and saw that the waitress was MARY LOU RADCLIFF. She told us that MARGARET HOWARD was the proprietor not only of this store but also of a large chain of similar Bar-B-Q stores. As we left, we paid the cashier, ANN TRPUTEC. Joe was very much pleased to find that so many of our classmates have had such good success. He told us of some others who had left the local area and “gone out into the world.” At Oak Ridge, Tennessee, RUSSELL GAULT was a famous scientist in atomic research. LAW- RENCE McCULLOUGH was a chemical engineer. In nearby Kentucky, MARTHA BENGURA and ANNE PETERS raised thoroughbred horses. ARTHUR EPSTEIN, a secretary to a U. S. [37] —— - a A A A delegate to the United Nations, was rapidly becoming known in international affairs. JIM MYERS owned a large truck farm near Philadelphia. JOE BRUBAKER was a well-known doctor in Pitts- burgh. At the Allegheny General Hospital in this same city, SHIRLEY HUMMEL and MADE- LINE KOPRiVA were nurses. Also in Pittsburgh were JOE BROSS and JOHN BARR who run a detective agency. TOM COLEMAN was the Chief of Police and on his force was NETTIE CONNER, a policewoman. ED MOLDOVAN, a former football star, was coaching the Pittsburgh Steelers. His star center was JON BEST. Manager of this team wasn’t anyone new, for it was JOHN VOLINIC. GEORGE BANYAS and JACK GRIMM, who played together on the basket- ball team, were again teammates, playing professional basketball with the New York Knicker- bockers. DAVE EVANS was a lumberjack in Canada. In South America, PHIL FEIT owned a large coffee plantation with JESSE NEWMAN and ED BALOG as foremen. MARY JO DOCK- TER, CARRIE ELLEN JOINES, and BARBARA TRGOVAC were at different government posts in Europe. In New York City, BILL McDOWELL was a successful banker. EARL RUFF was an accountant for Dunn and Bradstreet, while NORMA HOLMES was a stenographer for this company. MOLLY SNOWDEN was a girls’ physical education instructor in a New York high school. PAT IRWIN was a journalist for the New York Times. The Class of °51 was represented in the Armed Forces by LARRY PLATZ and FRED RIDDEL. DORIS WEIGLE was in the Waves, while CHARLOTTE CAIN was a Wac. We were so absorbed in our talk that as the cab came to a stop, we were surprised to find we were in New Brighton and at ED LOCKE'S Service Station. DAVE PLASSMEYER, a mechanic, serviced the taxi-cab, and we continued on our way. Our next stop was our destination, the new Civic Building on Third Avenue. Joe mar- veled at its beauty and magnificence. We told him that the construction engineers were PAUL SUCHOSKI and DON MOORE. Several other New Brighton graduates contributed to its build- ing: LEWIS ROWAN was the mason, the bricklayer was DON PASQUALE, and BILL WEB- STER had charge of the plumbing. As we entered the building, Joe was at once awed by the beautiful simplicity of the interior decorating. This was done by NORA STAFFORD, a na- tionally famous commercial artist. Here Joe had to leave us to attend to the program, and we sat down at our places for the program was soon to begin. Picking up the program, we saw that Joe was Master of Ceremonies and Reverend JAMES KELBAUGH of St. Mary’s Episcopal Church asked the invocation. A com- mittee of local school teachers, NANCY BYERLE, SYLVIA HARDING, and JANET McNITT were responsible for planning the program. The delicious dinner was planned by: VIVIAN CAMPBELL, food sampler for the H. J. Heinz Company; NANCY HIGBY, hospital dietitian; and a group of local housewives, nee, JO ANN SHIELDS, MABLE REYNOLDS, MARGARET MARKO, SHIRLEY McBRIDE, and JANET MILLER. The elaborate cover and sketches on the program were made by the popular cartoonist, ED KALCEVIC, of the New Brighton Daily News. On the same staff, RONNIE BLACKBURN was editor-in-chief; NANCY MANDEVILLE, society editor; JOANN BROWN, news reporter; and BOB BURGESS and CALVIN BEATTY, photog- raphers. The floral decorations were contributed by the ELEANOR STRAILE Flower Shoppe and were arranged by her two assistants, DONNA GRIM and SHIRLEY BODNER. Music was supplied by the Swick Swing Band, which was under the direction of DON = [38] Sol Se ee ee a ae SWICK, by whom ED YAGELOWICH, RALPH HOUSEHOLDER, BOB GOEHRING, and JIM PASQUALE are employed. MARION UNDERWOOD favored us with an original poem entitled “The Success of Our Lives.” Next the outstanding soprano, MARY EVANS, sang an aria from one of the famous operas composed by the musical genius, COSTEL DENSON. A style show was presented by the Harris Fashion Store of New York, of which LEE HARRIS was the proprietor; RAY MURRAY, manager; FRAN SWANEY, secretary; MARY BALAZS, dress designer; RHETA BOBROW, hat designer; and ANNA MAE BALIK, chief salesclerk. Acting as models were MARGIE TEREK, PEGGY HOGUE, and NANCY BUTLER. The jewelry was donated by the ROBERT BRAUND Jewelry Store and was selected by his personal secretary, BETTY SMITH. Next on the program was a drama entitled “Reunion Fun in Sixty-One” by the famous playwright, JANET HARDY. The main characters were: JOANNE TAGGART, movie actress; JOAN CORNELIUS, television star; FRANK FRANZE, funnyman of the movies; BURTON GOEHRING, successor to the fabulous comedian, Lou Costello; JOE ZAGORSKI, radio star; and BILL MITCHELL of the television show ‘Stop the Talking.” Technicalities and stage managing were under the capable direction of GENE RAWL and BOB WILLIAMS. The splendid make- up artistry was produced by the Hollywood make- up artist, JO ANN DE VINNEY. Scenery was made by the local carpenters, GEORGE MAJORS and JACK PAVLINICH. The program was concluded with a speech by HELEN VASILKO, famous world traveler, whose secretary was RITA LEO. A telegram was presented to Joe and stated the regrets that JOHN REINA, TOM WEBER, and LEROY CRAWFORD were working with the historical society excavating the ruins of an old Aztec village in Mexico, and were not able to attend. With them were: PEGGY LOU PUL- LION, who is on the job as an interpreter, and DENISE HELBLING and SHIRLEY HALL, who are also members of the expedition. Many compliments were bestowed on class members who participated and our successful reunion came to an end. The New Brighton Daily News stated that such a reunion should be made possible again in the not too far-distant future. We really felt from this experience that the Class of “51 may be proud of what we had accomplished. —Betty Kolumban and Frank Peluso Prophecy of the Prophet Engaging in a conversation involving the host and hostess, I learned that BETTY KOLUM- BAN was married to the owner of a large sporting goods store in New York City and was gen- eral manager over the Advertising Department of his store. I was told that FRANK PELUSO was the chemistry teacher in Rochester High School and was employed in the Chemical Depart- ment of the St. Joseph Lead Company during the summer months. Meeting both Betty and Frank before leaving, I expressed my appreciation for the delightful time I had had at the reunion and for the fine manner in which they handled the affair. —Bob Goehring [39] See CL: iy leuy Strange sounds coming from the music room, hasty last-minute checking of make-up, the flurry of footsteps; all were preparations for the first senior class play, “January Thaw.” This comedy was enlivened by the appearance of a live pig on stage that threatened to make its debut a short one by its squirming. The cold of a snow storm in Connecticut was equalled and sur- passed by the cold relations between the Rockwood and Gage families. By mistake, the Rockwood homestead had been sold to Mrs. Gage who installed her own modern conveniences. Mr. and Mrs. Rockwood and their son, Matt, took charge of the house upon their return. The storm hit. Not only were they left without food, heat, or modern conveniences, but their oldest daughter, Barbara Gage, had disappeared with Matt Rockwood. Cold and near starvation soon brought about the reconciliation of the two families and Barbara returned with Matt to explain that they had only gone on an errand of mercy in the storm. Even Mr. Gage became interested in Jon- athan Rockwood’s farm, including his pigs.

On the placards which adorn the front of the theater we see that the production this year is the 1951 ALAURUM. Joanne Taggart and her off-and-on backer Art Epstein with suggestions and requests from the director, Miss Couch, are rushing around with last minute preparations before curtain time. The prompter, Pattie Irwin, is checking the script for any last minute changes. A knock is heard on the door of one of the dressing rooms. It is the orchestra leader, Mary Jo Dockter, who was having trouble with Costel Denson and Joe Matasich, who had been cover- ing the local tournaments and wanted to see the play. The society of the town was being covered by Rheta Bobrow. Curtain time was slowly drawing near. Mary Balazs, our head of organizations, and Janet McNitt, our administrator, were assembling their friends and critics before the final curtain call. The cast was fortunate in being able to secure this well-known theater for their performance, but it was only through the efforts of Shirley Bodner, who is in ch arge of the calendar, that we obtained it. Jo Ann DeVinney, the chief scribe and her assistants, Pattie Irwin and Sylvia Harding, saw to it that the programs were perfect in every detail; Joe Brubaker and Nora Stafford were putting the finishing touches on the scenery. The cast, our Senior Data Committee, included Lawrence McCullough, Bill Mitchell, Nancy Butler, Paul Suchoski, Margaret Howard, Carrie Ellen Joines, and Joe Zagorski. Numerous sketches of the common gentry and cast were drawn by Nancy Higby, Mary Lou Radcliff, Shir- ley Hall, Calvin Beatty, Sondra Boris, Molly Snowden, and Midge Underwood. A short time before the curtain rose, Bob Goehring and Russell Gault, the business managers, were seen frantically counting the receipts and worrying about the financial success of this impor- tant production. Finally the curtain went up, and a huge crowd viewed the production with eager anticipation. When the final act was over and the curtain had dropped for the last time, it was evident that the efforts of those involved had borne fruit. It was then certain that this year’s ALAURUM was the greatest production ever. aN @ Sp a ee 44, Ss [42] ae ber of 5f We are the Class of 751! Great things we'll do, as great things we’ve done. We’ve worked long years to gain the day, When from neath our caps, we’d proudly say We are the Class of ’51! On life’s steep ladder, we’ve but reached a rung; There’s much yet to climb . . . we are so young. Let’s hold our chins up high; today is but a starting place, Be strong! We must go on to win the race, For the Class of ’51! It’s an oft? unkind world beyond our tiny one, With hardships and tears, laughter and fun, Toil, sweat, and sorrow, joy in life, true faith in God, A path that’s rough, the path all men have trod. So must the Glass of 51! There’s so much ahead; good and bad, right and wrong, to find. Let’s straighten our shoulders, hold up our heads, make up our minds, To challenge the future, whate’er it be, To make the best of our ability. (As the Glass-onro lL The door to contentment is locked to those Who shirk, who fail, who quit,—who lose! High school’s behind us to give us a start; Let’s use it to find that peace in our heart That comes from success, a job well done, And to make Alma Mater proud Of this Class of 51! —Midge Underwood [43] [44] punior CE Nancy Harris, Secretary; Susan Hamilton, Vice-President; ’ Ronald Bell, President; Marguerite Hummer, Treasurer There goes the whistle. The third quarter is over and the junior class has come through ahead. Our class of 1952 has contributed to many activities in the high school. The athletic teams, the choruses, the different clubs, and the band were bursting with their share of juniors. Our class play, “Every Family Has One,” was unusually entertaining, and it was directed by Mrs. Johnson. Our class advisor, Mrs. Geary, helped us with our annual Junior-Senior Prom. From our standpoint, it was a big success. It has been a fine game, so far; but we know that we can’t relax in the last quarter of our | education. Next year, we will be seniors, and we know that we have worked long and hard for | eleven years and we should not quit now. [45] en — ——EEEE . —————_—_—— — — 7 — !

Sophomore ES Shirley Moore, Treasurer; Walter Gorgas, Vice-President; Dan Hunter, President; Jane Riddel, Secretary “This day we fashion Destiny, Our Web of Fate we spin.” We spun our freshman year into a fine pattern after a few trials and errors. In our sopho- more year we added some extra “warps and woofs” such as organizations, dances, sports, and class plays. In musical organizations, namely: High School Band, Dance Band, Mixed Chorus, Girls’ Chorus, and Boys’ Chorus, we were well represented. Our athletic activities were not to be underestimated as our sophomore athletes came through with “flying colors” in lending their ability to down our opponents. To our teachers we owe a great deal of credit. They have been most helpful to us as they served in the capacity of advisors and instructors. Our Christmas vacation was saddened when we learned of the tragic death of our esteemed algebra teacher, Mr. Richard L. McEwen. His loss will be felt by the many friends he made dur- ing his short time with us. As sophomores we did well in these various undertakings, but the next two years will find us leaders in these varied interests. We still have more interesting patterns to add before we go on to the “Halls of Ivy” after which our “Web of Fate is spun.” [49] ROW 1— John Peters Don Mittica John Hurley Harold Frantz John Cobbs Dick Cardosi Don Albanese Bill Ciganik Ben Hardesty Paul Jackson Bill Murphy Jack Wurzel SS —.

[50] ' XK “aw. = Me ee oe a hia Cie: Once again, the Freshman Class has triumphed. What is this great achievement? Our class of 1954 has safely survived the first year of high school. Next September, it will be our joy to harass the lowly newcomers. To them we will give our prized balcony seats, our home rooms, and our old text books. We have not sat idly by while the rest of the school has participated in activities. At the beginning of the school term, many of the girls were all dolled-up for G. A. A. initiation. Then, there were the ones who felt they were musically inclined. A surprisingly large number of us were found in the choruses and the band. We have also sponsored some of the dances in the gymnasium, and in the spring of this year, conducted a very successful bake sale. Our guidance programs have been very helpful in our struggle to become adjusted to high school life. Much of our success can be credited to our advisor, Miss Heckman, who directed our freshman year.

During the assigned chapel periods, each class has its discussion on a phase of their topic for the year. HIGH SCHOOL LIFE begins with the orientation of the freshman into a somewhat confused cycle of existence. Social adjustment, in the first trying weeks, overshadows the academic ad- justment; but after the first few weeks, the student settles down to serious studying and time is a major factor in his life. By the termination of his first year, the student feels he is capable of taking an active part in the world around him. In his second year of high-school life, his chief concern is winning some more independence from adults. His disappointments and blunders are now felt more severely than at any other time in his life; now he has cultivated interests in the opposite sex for companionship, and DIS- COVERING MYSELF is his chief aim in life: Having successfully completed the first two years of this new life, he is eagerly awaiting the third year with his friends. He is given a profile test so that PLANNING MY FUTURE will not prove such a difficult task. It will aid him in determining the vocational field for which he is best suited; then he may choose subjects which will aid him to achieve his goal in later life. His high-school life is slowly drawing to a close. With the arrival of a new school term, the student turns toward the familiar halls which he had trod for several years. There is a notable difference in the self-assured, sophisticated sen- ior of today, and the shy, awkward youth of three short years ago. The senior knows that his chief purpose in life is to educate himself TOWARD ADULT LIVING. Whether he is planning to further his education or devote his life to his family, he is certain that he has a place in society; and society has a place for him. [56] Sudbni (Gas Membership in the Student Council is limited to those having an 85% average or better. A primary election was held in each homeroom; from this election, four students were nominated. Then, at a later date, another election was held to determine the representatives. One mem- ber is elected from each homeroom; and in addition, the presidents of Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y are members. The Student Council is under the able sponsorship of Miss Carter. The council is divided into three committees: the School Spirit Committee, the School Prop- erty Committee, and the School Activities Committee. The council directed the Thanksgiving assembly program which was enjoyed before dis- missal for that vacation. The members of the council in the three upper classes were elected the first semester, while the freshmen were not elected until the second semester.

These six girls were on hand at all the football and basketball games and pep meetings going through their routines to help us in cheering. Anyone who went to the New Brighton-Monaca football game saw them soaking wet and their uniforms covered with mud. Two seniors will be lost this year. Lee Harris and Betty Kolumban are graduating. The cheerleaders have done very capable work under the supervision of Miss Evelyn Bergan. G. a i Gi wer Miss Patterson Nancy Butler Molly Snowden Treasurer Secretary Anna Mae Balik Lee Harris Vice-President President The G. A. A. held its first get-together of the year in the gym. Its purpose was to intro: duce the freshmen to the club and to acquaint them with the old members. Later the new mem- bers were initiated. On October 31, the traditional Hallowe’en party was held. The crowning of the football king and queen brought to a close a most successful season, and it was the main event of the year. With the arrival of the Christmas season, the, annual Christ? mas Party was held in the gym on December 19. A good time was had by all! The activities of the G. A. A. were brought to a close with a covéred di8h dinners. The awards to the club members were presented at the annual banquet. Through the efforts of Miss Patterson, the sponsor, and the members. of. the cabinet each meeting proved to be a huge success.

The Science Club is an organization of students interested in furthering their knowledge of science. Some of the programs presented by this group included movies of a scientific nature, a series of scientific experiments presented by members, and reports on various phases of science. Our club has again qualified for affiliation with the Science Clubs of America, a national organ- ization. Membership in our club is limited to those who have successfully completed at least one year of high school science with an average of 80% or better. The club was under the able supervision of Miss Campbell, our biology instructor. [70] ECR eI ne. ik ar hea, eed, Te ea We arc.

[73] An unusually large membership, thirty-two girls, was active in the Library Club this year. The various duties of the Library aides include taking charge of the desk, answering refer- | ence questions, filing cards, and shelving books. Decorating the library for the holiday season was | an assignment which was especially enjoyed. The club enjoyed an active social year. Besides sponsoring a Sadie Hawkins dance, the girls had a number of get-togethers. Several members took part in the Pennsylvania Week program. Securing and wearing the Library Club pins climaxed the year. The success of the club may be attributed to the capable direction of Miss Hamilton, and the club officers.

LONG yh, Vee bSrighton High See] Earl One of the highlights of the activities of the New Brighton High School is its crimson and gold band of seventy-five pieces. Under the direction of the new maestro, Mr. Long, the band has completed a fine year. The people of Mr. Long’s home town, Williamsburg, Pa., were sorry to see his family and him leave. Nevertheless, he soon became well-acquainted with the student body through cheer practices and with the New Brighton townspeople at various civic functions. The half-time shows at the 1950 football games were especially entertaining with the merry- go-round and its painted horses as one of the best. The majorettes served as an added attraction with their high-stepping, lighted batons, and their race around the track formed by the band. The performance of these girls in little Lion costumes at the Beaver Falls-New Brighton pep meeting this year was tops. Special groups organized by Mr. Long included the trombone, clarinet, and trumpet quar- tets. The antics of the “Hungry Five” were cause for much uproarious laughter during pep meet- ings and entertainments. The finale of the band season was the excellent spring concert.

Eugene Rawl was the narrator and Eileen Thomson and Bob Brubaker portrayed Mary and Joseph, respectively. The Chorus took part in the annual spring concert with confidence and ability. These well-blended voices added to such school highlights as the crowning of the May Queen and the graduation exercises. The director of the Chorus is Miss Snow.

N George Majors Varsity li dd! The New Brighton High School football eleven completed its 1950 campaign with a record of 9 wins and 1 loss, and 1 tie which captured co-championship honors in Class “A” of the yaa oad Ber Gels The Lions struck in the opening game by defeating Hopeweil Township High 20-0. Moldo- van galloped 60 yards for a touchdown. Don Snowberger made a one-handed interception and spurted 85 yards for number two. Denson added another for safety having knifed over from the nine. Extra points were made by Jack Dyson and Costel Denson. The real test came, however, when Brighton encountered a flashy Shaler Township Class A eleven. Moldovan saved the day through timely blocking—by returning a punt 75 yards for the TD. Dyson added the extra point. The alert Brighton line tackled Shaler Township’s Bigelow behind the goal line for a safety. Near the closing minutes of the game, Kurnot scooped up a Brighton fumble and rambled untouched for the score. The final, 9-7. Ambridge High proved a powerhouse and defeated the Lions by the score of 32-9. New Brighton was beaten by a better team, but they kept the never-say-die attitude. Again the alert Brighton line rang up a safety and again Moldovan ran long and far! Taking a kickoff he pranced straight down the sideline for 80 yards. The extra point was tossed in by Dyson. This was the only loss to be suffered by the ‘“‘co-champs.” On this quiet night there was an upset in the making! Rochester fought hard, they fought long, but they lost 25-0. Like a cannon in the dead of night, Moldovan exploded for three quick TD’s on runs of 18, 55, and 36 yards. Costel Denson hit for another and added the extra point leaving the Rams terror-stricken. It was definite—New Brighton was on the march. With a record of 3 wins and 1 loss, Brighton risked its Class A record by traveling to Beaver. They needn’t worry, however, for the situation was well in hand. Moldovan twice, Dyson, Den- son, and Braund read the scoring column. “Tito” Francona “kicked” his way into the limelight. Magically he toed five extra points through the uprights. Final 35-0. Now the future co-champs really had it rough! German Township, California, Midland, and Monaca stood in their path for that coveted trophy. German Township was the toughest. It was fight, fight, fight for every inch of ground; however, the machine bulldozed through for a 12-7 victory. Denson from the 1 and Dyson from the 9 for Brighton, while it was Stan Sid- dorsky for German Township. Rough and tough were the characteristics of California, but Coach Buzard’s proteges came out on the top 20-6. Excellent blocking paved the way for Denson and Dyson. Jack Dyson—the Fullback—skipped 65 yards. Denson followed with 55 yards. Migan scored for California. The Midland Leopards brought a hard-charging spirited ball club to battle the Lions. Al- though New Brighton won 20-7 the task was not easy. Dyson registered one touchdown and Costel Dens on added two. Francona capably added the extra point. The last obstacle to the crown was the Monaca Indians. New Brighton struck quickly. for 20-0 lead at half time. Moldovan knifed from the two yard line with Denson dashing 36 yards and 16 vards. Again Francona added the extra points. Late in the third quarter Costel Denson, behind beautiful blocking, skipped 85 yards for the final. The Lions were in the playoffs! Beaver Falls, the across-the-river rivals, were taken through a rough battle by a 21-12 score. A pass from Dyson to Moore, and neat running by Moldovan and Leaf accounted for the touch- downs again with “Tito” Francona adding the points after the TD’s. At this stase the New Brighton Lions travelled to Dormont to meet Canonsburg for the Class A battle. The game was close and thrilling all the way! Wisniewski scored twice for the Gunners and Dwyer galloped 72 yards for the Lions to make the score 12-6 at half time. Moldo- van knifed over from the two to make the final 12-12. This is the first time in the history of this school that New Brighton has gained the W. P. I. A. L. crown, even though it was a co-championship. As an acknowledgement of this achievement, civic-minded individuals and organizations of the town purchased jackets for every member of the co-championship team. The gold football emblem on the jackets indicates a mem- ber of the New Brighton co-championship team. [96] ——— —————— = MR. BUZARD Mr. Buzard gave up seven years of successful coaching at Swissvale High School to come to New Brighton and try to rebuild our damaged football team. He is a very able coach in basketball and volley- ball as well as in football. Several of his volleyball teams and basketball teams have entered champion- ship competition. Although he has produced excel- lent football teams at Bell Township, Apollo, and Swissvale, he was not able to enter a W. P. I. A. L. “play-off” game until he came to New Brighton. Mr. Charles Buzard graduated from Vander- erift High School, attended Gettysburg College, and Pitt University from which school he graduated. He has now completed 27 years of successful coaching. [97] Pin A Once again the “mud jug” was returned to the trophy case of New Brighton High School. After being defeated by the score of 21-13, the Beaver Falls High School foot- ball team—represented by John Cupac and Ronnie Smith—presented the “token” to Jack Dyson, honorary captain of the New Brigh- ton squad. Neither school has had the jug for two successive years. Let’s hope that we will be the first to do so by defeating our “arch rivals” again in 1951.

The New Brighton High School Reserves.:met Freedom in the first game of the season. It was a tough battle throughout. However, in the third quarter Bill Pasquale culminated a sus- tained drive by slashing off tackle for the touchdown. Final 6-0, New Brighton. The second game of the year for the highly touted jayvees was with Beaver Falls. The Lions emerged the victor by the score of 6-0. Late in the second stanza, Mickey Crawford flipped a beautiful pass to Bill Beck for a twenty yard scoring play. New Brighton easily defeated Monaca by the score of 19-0. It was Beck all the way as he scored all three TD’s by going the distance on a fumble, and by passes from Bill Pasquale and Mickey Crawford. By the score of 27-0, the jayvees were set down by the Ambridge Bridgers. The Lions put up a valiant fight, but the Bridgers were too powerful. The Wolverines of Ellwood City gave the roaring Lions a rough battle until the final whistle. Francona and Mickey Crawford did the honors. Carrying a record of four wins and one loss into their final game, the junior Lions rolled over the Rams of Rochy High with Freddie Leaf scoring both touchdowns on long runs. John Francona added the point after the touchdown.
