Earl Pllffllffl' Everyone at North Huntingdon real- izes that if it were not for the Board of Education that we have, our school and extra curricular activities would not be what they are today. Everyone realizes that without the endeavor the Board has shown by their work and interest, North Huntingdon would not maintain its edu- cational standards. There is no way we can express due appreciation to these capable directors for their noteworthy contributions to our school. Mary Shepler, secretarial asset to the office force, is always found congenial during her day's work. Her friendly advice is sought by many students. She knows most of them by their first names. Her efficiency and friendliness is greatly ap- preciated by everyone at North Hunt- ingdon. S'ta'nlry Rlll'klf'-lj, Stanley Stc'mpr'r'k. Glenn. Bauylmzau.

Sitting: Chopich, Maystrovich. The honor of being the first freshman class of North Huntingdon was bestowed upon the class of 1950 as they first en- tered their Alma Mater on September 4, 1946. After the confusion subsided, the class of '50 began taking interest in their new surroundings. The junior varsity teams quickly claimed boys interested in sports. Girls also showed active interest in the intramural and outdoor activities. Early in October they elected as class officers: Philip Henry, presidentg William McCune, vice-presidentg Lee Mull, secre- tary. Under the capable leadership of Mrs. Alice Kelly these officers success- fully presented the annual Freshman- Sophomore Party. The school term of 1947-48 proved the class of '50 even more enthusiastic. Advised by Mrs. Ellsworth Schwartz as sophomores, they chose Robert Hornak, president: Nick Chopich, vice-presidentg Harriet Lee, secretary. This sophomore class was well represented in sports and all school activities. While the varsity and junior varsity claimed many of the boys on the gridiron and hardwood squads, both boys and girls alike participated in intra- murals, High lighting the year was the Freshman-Sophomore Party held in April. The beginning of the 1948-49 term saw the members of the class of 1950 anticipating the duties of upperclassmen with hope and confidence. They began an- other year working toward their goal by electing Nick Chopich, president, Carl Nosse, vice-presidentg Lois Horton, secre- tary. After a great deal of hard work on the part of the advisers, Mrs. Alice Kelly and Mrs. Helen Hadley, the class raised enough funds for the J unior-Senior Prom. Clubs, publications, football and basket- ball teams, intramurals, and scholarship honor rolls all had representatives from the junior class. September of 1949 saw the class of '50 determined toward their hard-earned goal. After surviving the difficulties that arose early in the fall, they elected in November, under the supervision of Miss Anne Santner, Nick Chopich, president: Don Filtz, vice-presidentg Lois Horton, secretaryg Alberta Maystrovich, treasurer. The members of the class again rated high both scholastically and in school activities. Along with the new year that came in, came the thoughts and plans for gradua- tion and the undecided future. Although some climbed aboard, oth- ers dropped off our wagon of fun as we rolled through our high school days. But when it comes to reminiscing, the past four years will stand out above all others. eIflL0l 5 Were fnst class completing four years at Huntingdon Herbert Anderson Lucnlle Antonellzs Barbara Beacham Rosamond Bestwwk 4ntomf'tte Antonellw Thomas Arthurs Clara Mae Berfolma Edo, Blleszmo ANDERSON HERBERT Herb one of our qu et boys future Iles ln machmery or carpentry partxal to xce skatxng proud to be from North Irwm generally seen drlvmg hls green car ANTONE LIS ANTOINETTE Tom looks forward to bemg an art teacher showed hel abllltv IH art club favored college football spends much tlme wrlt mg stones made up other half of ANTONELLIS LUCILLE Sue Jomed Huntmgdon her Jumor year chose aca demlc course plans to be a telephone operator spec1al1zes m gomg to the movles often mlstaken for her twm ARTHURS THOMAS Stupe lxked by everyone always ready and eager for fun known as the Sherlff of the Plgs Ear gang Wlth whom he could always be found made the 1deal L 11 Abner BEACHAM BARBARA Barb looks forward to college vlce presldent. of N F L co edltor of H1 Lntes swlm mlng ranks hxgh ln sports could make anyone feel welcome Wltll constant lme of chatter BERTOLINA CLARA MAE Clar followed commerual course prefers to be a telephone operator dellghted ID seemg movles entered Huntmgdon from North Irwln durmg Jumor vear has a deep mysterxous volce BESTWICK ROSAMOND Toots cute and petlte wlth a wonderful sense of humor favored commercxal course although undeclded about the future found T E G qulte 1nterest ng especlally proud that home town IS Westmoreland C1ty BILESIMO EDA Eda always ready to g1V9 everyone a pleasant smlle full of v1p, vlm, and v1gor has made no defl mte plans for the future knew how to make home runs for her homeroom glrls' team ' n I I 0 0 o ' W I . . . .

F F' I Keeping the annual Junior-Senior Prom in mind the class of 51 , under the super- vision of Mrs. Alice Kelly and Mrs. Helen Hadley, strived to make it even more suc- cessful and colorful than previous years. The class rings, which never fail to create excitement, arrived during Christmas vacation, making it necessary for the stu- dents to come back to school for a few hours to receive them. As every group that receives rings declares theirs are the nicest they have ever seen, this group was no exception. It was often heard that there would never be a nicer ring found anywhere. Franklin Chadima, Charles Ponitz, and Jean Lagalski were chosen to lead their class throughout the year as president, vice- president, and secretary, respectively. The students who make up the Junior class are an outstanding group, as many of them could be found participating in various activities such as the N. F. L., basketball, and football teams, T. E. G., and Pep Club. Anytime an organization wanted some- thing sold, all they had to do was call on the super salesmen of the Junior Class, and you were guaranteed to get out of the red . It is agreed by teachers and students alike, that this class will be one of the best ever to graduate from North Huntingdon.

VVar'rl . QOPAOMQOPQJ , , , Settled down to the brass tacks of learning Under the capable leadership of Miss Eva Rackley, the class of '52 showed much success in their second year at North Hunt- ingdon. Early in the fall they elected Mike .lavor as president, Ronnie Minerva as vice- president, and Mae Forsyth as secretary. These officers led the sophomore class in their second exciting year in high school. The sophomores participated in various athletic activities and joined many school organizations. Bob Steck, Bill Painter, and Jim Derby gained positions on the first string varsity football team while many others played on the junior varsity. In basketball, also, the boys of '52 put forth much effort. Three of the sophomore girls, Shirley Hlava, Lillian Plowman, and Mae Forsyth, were chosen as cheerleaders. Many others proved their talents in joining the National Forensic League, the Debate Team, the Hi-Lites staff, musical organizations, the Hi-Y, and many other of the school activities. The sophomore class is looking forward to their third year of high school as juniors with great enthusiasm. They only wish that the next two years are as happy and full of fun as the past two have been. Mi.ss RlLl'Rlf'.ll, Jaror, Minrrra, Frarsytlz Rauf I: Blumcntritt, Bernard, For- syth, Bishop.

Their first year in high school, starting in September of 1949, proved to be an inter- esting and successful one for the freshmen class. Under the able guidance of their ad- viser, Mrs. Edith Standfest, they soon be- came accustomed to the life of the high school student. With willingness and ability to co-operate they entered the activities which were opened to them. By following in the footsteps of the upper-classmen the freshmen soon made themselves an important part of the school life. Some of the boys acquired positions on the football and basketball junior varsity teams. Others showed their talent by par- ticipating in school activities, such as Foren- sics, Hi-Lites staff, Band, various clubs, and Student Council. By taking part in the intramural sports program the students en- joyed themselves during the lunch period and displayed good sportsmanship in their games.

Presented complete record in pictures and copy Under the supervision of Miss Dorothy Davis, the Norhiscope staff Worked dili- gently to maintain the high journalistic standards which had been achieved in the past years. Two years ago the Norhiscope was rated First Class by the National Scholastic Press Association, only to cope All-American last year. Co-editors, Pat Morris and Jerome Sa- dosky, cooperated in every possible way with their stalf members to bring to the students a vivid pictorial record of school life. Bob Coombs, Harriet Lee, and Alberta Maystro- vich ably handled the literary part of the book, While Louis Koper and Lois McElroy worked together as photography editors. The art work was done by Thelma Caldwell and Martha Lewis. Betty Hughes took care of the girls' sports while Bill Schanz cov- ered boys' sports. Due to the many labor strikes, this year was an exceptionally hard one to make ends meet. Business managers, Don Filtz and Reinhard Leo were met with this re- sponsibility. This year juniors acted as assistants in order to prepare themselves for next year's Work.

Although the distance to the printer in Braddock hampered the staff, they nevertheless managed to put out thirteen issues. This would not have been possible, however, without the untiring efforts of Mrs. Marian Daily, the capable adviser. Much of the leisure time of the editors was occupied by the Hi-Lites, and burning the midnight oil was not an un- usual occurrence. The co- editors of the paper, Lois Gongaware and Barbara Beacham, successfully carried out the duties of their posi- tion and guided the remaining editors to the best of their abilities. Elaine Roth, news editor, could frequently be seen in the halls pleading with reporters to hand in tardy assignments. When the paper came out, subscribers anxiously turned to Lee Mull's sports page to read the write-ups and comments of this tal- ented sports editor. Mr. William Couch- M rs. Marian Dailey on 0 0 o enour, sports adviser, added much to the success of the sports page. Carolyn Pas and Amelia Exton handled the feature page skillfully with their unique wit and originality. Exchange papers, collected and sent out by Janet Kleckner, served as a yardstick in measuring the Hi-Lites with other pub- lications throughout the na- tion. The subscription campaign was planned and carried out by Dave Johnson. Many ads were solicited throughout the community. These ads which contributed greatly to the support of the paper were sold by Carl Nosse and Dale Kober, advertising managers. One of the main events of the year was the Christmas Hop, co-sponsored by the Hi-Lites. An old fashioned Christmas was the theme. Numerous socials were held. The annual election of the principal and secretary for a day was also sponsored by the Hi-Lites. To climax the year, a picnic was planned. x N Rau' 1.' Miller, Kleckner Neri, Johnson.

Many interesting routines, that would go with songs familiar to the student body, provided the entertain- ment during half-time. One of the outstand- ing performances of the season was a square dance by the majorettes who were decked out in bonnets and full skirts. Various music lovers of the organiza- tion were selected to go to the County Band Festival held at Youngwood in December, January, also, held great interest for other members as they were delegated to partici- pate in the Western District Band held at West View High School. Mr. James Dunlop of the Penn State Blue Band conducted the group. The annual concert was held in the spring which proved of great interest and enjoyment to students as well as to the visitors. CLOPLLJ , , , Delighted students with musical talent Superbly directed by Mr. Joseph Menham, with accompaniment on the piano by Harriet Lee, the Mixed Chorus gave evidence of their talents in a Thanks- giving program in our gymnasium. The male section of the chorus, however, did not participate because they were as yet unorganized. Much difficulty was encountered by Mr. Menham toward Christmas because of the lengthened Christmas vacation. This was due to the fact that the old section of the school building was being torn down to make a site for the com- pletely new west wing that is to be con- structed. Because of crowded conditions the music room had to be made into a classroom. Thus the group had nowhere to practice and their activities were cut short the second semester of school. Mr. Menham and the group are to be congratulated on the excellent music they furnished under the handicaps. The near future, however, gives definite prom- ise of an auditorium where Mr. Menham can exercise his full talent. Row 1: Kleckner, Claar, Davis, Viecelli, P.

Though many practices were held in anticipation of noon dances, as had been done in previous years, the Dance Band was forced to curtail activities, however, due to the lack of sufficient room. Several freshmen and sophomores have joined the group which should make for an even better band in a few years. Mr. Joseph Menham organized the Dance Band in 1947 and has provided, until this year, the students with music for noon dancing at least once a week. It also played for a few evening affairs held at the school which were sponsored by the Band. Knowing that room will be available when the new school is finished, the Dance Band has been discontinued with a full program for next year. Smindiny: Roth, Claar.

Noon dancing, other oroiects undertaken hy governing body The new constitution which was drawn up the latter part of last year called for representatives elected from the home rooms plus representa- tives at large from each class which made a total of 27 members. Under the leadership of Louis Koper, president, and Pat Morris, secretary, the council settled many problems which came up before them. Jerome Sadosky was vice-president and Jackie Carson, corresponding secretary. Several locker inspections were carried out successfully, and laws were set up whereby students were-s not permitted to eat in the halls. Recommendations which the Student Council thought would be for the betterment of North Huntingdon were made to Mr. Schwartz. Since the school year was disrupted greatly by the building of a new school, the Student Council was called upon to assume more responsi- bility than ever before. Mr. Bruce Lawson, adviser of the council, assisted whenever the going was tough. L to R.: Beacham, Mull, Hughes, Whitlatch. orenfiicd . . . G. M rs. Lorraine Cornell Advance the art of public speaking Just as an arrow is aimed towards its mark, so did the senior members of N. F. L. aim toward their goal, a new award that was presented to the out- standing senior in speech. This award is sponsored by the Masque and Gavel, a national speech organization of great merit. Competing for it were seven seniors: Lee Mull, Jerome Sadosky, Bar- bara Beacham, Carolyn Peat, Betty Hughes, Bill Schanz, and David Johnson. The N. F. L. had an eventful year advised by Mrs. Lorraine Cornell and headed by Lee Mull, presidentg Barbara Beacham, vice-presidentg Betty Hughes, secretary-treasurer, Ellen Whitlatch. librarian. First there was the Student Congress held in Greensburg on Novem- ber 21-22 in which five members partici- pated. Then there was the District Tournament at the beginning of April. Last of all was the banquet for the initia- tion of new members which, it can be said, was the most appreciated and pos- sibly most educational. Since 1946 when Mrs. Cornell became adviser, the North Huntingdon Chapter has steadily gained in rank in the N.F.L. Largely responsible for this of course are the talents exhibited by its members. Barbara Beacham excelled in her drama- tization of the reading The Highway- man. Jerome Sadosky, Lee Mull, and Betty Hughes were equally good in ex- temporaneous speaking, while Lee also took many iirsts in oratorical declama- tion. Franklin Chadima is in a class by himself in humorous readings, best re- membered for his character sketches. Georgette Carosso, Ellen Whitlatch and Ella Fay Cross also show exceptional talents that need only experience to be wholly appreciated. While fifteen freshmen participated in various tournaments throughout the year in the attempt to gain membership in N.F.L., four of them made the grade. This not only required time, but a lot of hard work on the part of Don Creighton, Robert Hamilton, Larry Tharp, and Nancy Vaughn. DEBATE Row l.'

This organization is among the outstanding extra-curricular activities at North Huntingdon and is made up of sophomore, junior, and senior boys. With Mr. William Couch- enour serving as adviser for the third year. the boys had as their officers: Nick Chopich, president, Jerome Sa- dosky, vice-president, Bill Schanz, secretary: Gene Walters, treasurer. Throughout the year the Hi-Y maintained an effective hall patrol which kept the traffic Howing smoothly in the corridors of the school. At Christmas time, in conjunction with the Tri-Hi-Y, the club prepared and distrib- uted baskets to needy families in the area. The induction ceremony for new members was also held with the sister organization. Accenting the year's plans was a drive for better parliamen- tary procedure during the meetings. Educational trips, entertainments, and parties were planned and carried out by the program committee. One of the year's accomplishments, however, was gaining membership in the Pennsylva- nia State Hi-Y. With the knowledge that theirs was to establish throughout the com- munity high standards of Christian character, the Tri-Hi-Y accomplished . , many worthwhile projects. L . . 0 Officers were elected last spring in order to get off to a good start this year. Lois Gongaware, president, kept the girls busy collecting Swan Wrap- pers for the children of Europe and. also, selling greeting cards. Daisy Mae, Jacque Weaver, caught Lil Abner, Tom Arthurs, at the annual Sadie Hawkin's Day Dance which was sponsored by the Tri-Hi-Y. The new initiates of the club portrayed the various characters of Dog Patch. The girls worked under a point system whereby so many points were given for each duty performed. At the end of two years' membership each girl having three hundred points received a silver key embossed with the club emblem. With Mrs. Edith Duncan as ad- viser the club's functionings ran smoothly.

Their abilities were outshined just a bit by their dispo- sitions in that they never complained about their rigid practices or their frigid duties. Led by Jennien Claar, senior, Nancy Caldwell and Jeanne Viecelli, juniors, and newcomer Doris Bergman, sophomore, the strutters made many a difficult exhibition of their talents seem easy. Doris, who formerly did her march- ing in Michigan, proved her versatility to the point that her baton did everything she compelled it to do except talk. Aside from marching at half-time at all the football games the majorettes and Band took part in many local and distant parades at which they copped many firsts from the judges for all around ability. The most historical parade for them, however, was in honor of Governor Duff who dug the first shovelful of dirt at the ground- breaking ceremonies for the western branch of the Pennsylvania Turnpike near Scull School on November 23, 1949.

Jef CLA . . . Exquisite figurines, flowers made hy members Exercising their talents through many channels, the Art Club members, whose abilities were brought to the surface by Mrs. Helen Hadley, proved their versatility by attempting and completing many totally different projects. In their first project time was spent in making china-like flowers. The way to do it, as explained by Mrs. Hadley, was to cut patterns from paper, make several layers of petals attaching all to a thin length of wire, and then dip the flowers into bright colored paints. The stems of the flowers were done in the same way, and the result was very pleasing. After the flowers were completed, the members painted dresden figurines which they ordered unfinished from fac- tories. They first painted the figures with white enamel to be used as a base. Then they painted them with different colors of enamel. The finished products were exquisitely done and served as quaint knick knacks for the home. After these two projects were completed the members were permitted to do anything they wished. A new method of presiding over the club was tried suc- cessfully by Mrs. Hadley this year. Rather than have elected officers for the school term, each of the members had a turn at leading the meeting. This added variation to the club for everyone was given the opportunity to exercise his executive ability. he-.TH , Q. . . M rs.

One difficulty was that the work room and the dark room in the old section of the building were torn down to clear a site for the new modern section which is to be constructed. In addition to that Mrs. Marjorie McNeilly, the adviser, was ill for several months. In spite of these handicaps most of the members learned the technique of devel- oping negatives and using lightmeters. One of its members, Jerry Radosh, was seen at all the basketball games taking pictures, some of which were used in the newspaper and Yearbook. In the science department each mem- ber had some sort of project to undertake that was a requirement of the club. Some of the numerous projects were papers con- cerning various phases and accomplish- ments of modern science. Other projects were handmade motors, aquariums, and intricate drawings of biological life. These projects brought the members much en- joyment and, also, taught them the won- ders of science. With the modern facilities which will be available in the new building the Camera and Science Clubs are making big plans for next year. M rs. Jean Wills Junior Classical League The Junior Classical League led by officers Franklin Chadima and Jackie Car- son and club adviser, Mrs. Jean Wills, mixed Latin with pleasure at their monthly meeting. At these meetings discussions were held on the early Roman social life, their customs, traditions, and their system of government. Latin Classics were also dis- cussed at these get-togethers. Each member bought a pin with a burning torch as the crest symbolizing the immortality of the Latin language. The one activity that everyone looked forward to and attended was the Latin Festival that is held at the Buhl Plane- tarium in Pittsburgh annually. The purpose of the club is to get more students interested in Latin and to as- sure them that it is as interesting as the more animated French and Spanish.

The girls learned how to master the mysteries of the culinary arts and how to go about sewing an almost invisible stitch. The principles of knitting were also taught to the members who had never attempted it before, and those who had a small knowledge of knitting and pearling made squares for an afghan. Giving excellent advice on this practicable art was Miss Anne Santner who is something of an expert on this subject. As a project, Mrs. Vanderscott took senior members on a tour through the meat cutting section of a market. There they were shown various type of meats and were told how to recognize them. They also learned how to judge meats in the way of quality. Not only did this prove of interest to the girls. but it will enable them to be better homemakers in the future. CAri6fma:5 ala . . . Spotlighted an Old Fashioned Probably the most looked-forward-to event of 1949 was the Christmas llop held on December 23 and sponsored annually by the publication staffs. The most anticipated event of the evening was the crowning of the King and Queen who were chosen by a vote of all seniors. It was a pleasant surprise when Bill Noble was elected King and Lois Horten, Queen, while their attendants were Nick Chopich, Jerome Sadosky, Harriet Lee, and Pat Morris. Participating in the coronation were Jeanne Best and Clarke Lauffer, the 1949 Queen and King. The theme for the decorations was An Old-Fashioned Christmas which was carried out to the last drop of paint by members of the news- paper and yearbook staffs under the supervision of the art editors, Thelma Caldwell and Martha Lewis. This effect was rounded out beautifully with a huge Christmas tree in the center of the gym making the overall scene a little nostalgic for all who viewed it. Music was appropriately furnished by Lee Kelton and his orchestra. Christmas A glimpsr al the Coronation Iris a grand night for danf'ing Qui! an .Sara . . .

However, this is no indication of what may happen in the future, as the team was composed of only 7 seniors, 9 juniors, 17 sophomores, and 7 freshmen all of whom exhibited the will to learn as well as much fight, In the lidlifter of the '49 grid season, the Glassers of Ford City were host to the Bulldogs. In a slow game, with many fumbles for both teams, inexperience and lack of satisfactory replacements from the bench caused the Bulldogs to go down to defeat 20-0. Playing their best game of the year, the fighting Blue and Gold of North Huntingdon went down to defeat in the last minute of play by the margin of an extra point. On a pass from Cher- venick, Dubosky scored in the first quarter. Soon after, Chopich bucked over the five yard line to account for Hunting- don's two touchdown lead. The lead was short-lived, however, as Kittanning scored two touchdowns late in the game to cop the encounter 13-12. Outmanned and outplayed, the Bull- dog gridders were routed by the powerful Greensburg Lions. With a dazzling dis- play of power and deception the Golden Lions scored touchdowns on runs of 15, 34, 66, 16, 38, and 40 yards. Surprisingly the Bulldogs racked up seven first downs to Greensburg's four. Next the Bulldogs journeyed to Hurst to encounter the pow- erful Scarlet Hurricanes. Led by Ponko, all-county fullback, the Hurst team again made the grid feature a game of long runs. The bruising fullback scored on runs of 38, 20, 69, and 15 yards. The Gold and Blue's lone touchdown was made on a neat pass play, Chervenick to Dubosky. -Q, Coaches Kassian Koralcheck and Roy Sezbert In a wide open first half of the Bull- dogs' only home game, Wilmerding scored 19 points to the Bulldogs' 7. After a quick touchdown by Casey, spectacular halfback of Wilmerding, the Bulldogs roared back to take the lead 7-6, as McCune recovered a blocked kick in the end zone, and Chopich plunged over for the extra point. A weak pass defense proved the Bulldogs' undoing as two 40 yard pass plays ac- counted for the Wildcats' remaining tallies. After a scoreless second half, the gun sounded with Wilmerding ahead 19-7. Playing over their head, the Kovalmen nevertheless put up a hard fight in losing to a much bigger and more experienced Derry Township eleven 33-0. Sparked by a sensational back, Chester Rice, Derry pushed a stubborn Huntingdon defense back time and again. Several factors in Derry's favor simply proved too much for the Bulldogs in the grid finale of the '49 season. 'QF' Bill Painter Jim Derby Jack Dubosky Nick Chopich Bill Sherbondy CHEERLEADERS The student body of North Hunting- don, though responsive to cheers in their own right, were led admirably in the cheering department by five girls. These iron-lunged cheerleaders were Jackie Car- son, Nellie Eichelberger, Lillian Plowman, Mae Forsyth, and Shirley Hlava. Partly responsible for their vim and vigor was Mrs. Marianne Buerkle who taught them original tricky cheers and how to get their all from the audience. The girls were clad in uniforms of a gold skirt, a blue V-necked sweater, and gold dickies. At the football games they donned gold and blue mittens which made them look right smart and their followers right proud. Since none of these inspirationalists will graduate this year, they will be on hand to give a little rise and shine to games next year. CHEERLEADERS Row 1: Eichelberger, Carson. Center: Plowman.

Though they participated in only two contests, they showed promise for the coming seasons. The Bullpups met the Wilkinsburg Jayvees in the first game of the season on Oct. 17. A much heavier and more aggressive team literally outmanned the North Huntingdon recruits. The Jayvees fought hard but didn't have enough as Wilkinsburg won 27-7. On the following Thursday Oct. 27 the Bullpups locked in a duel with an old rival, Sewickley Township, under the lights. The North Huntingdon team gave a good account of themselves, but Sewick- ley went on to win 13-0. Among those who showed exceptional ability was Dick Robertson, sophomore quarterback. Dick scored the only tally of the year for the Bullpups in the Wil- kinsburg game. v-w.',.4.. O! omenffs . . .

Handicapped by a lack of experience the North Huntingdon cagers completed a not too prosperous basketball season. Coached by Mr. John Brace, the Bulldogs ran through the regular season with a. record of 9 triumphs in 23 tries. The team was comprised mainly of juniors who served notice that they will be tough competition next year. North Huntingdon started the season slowly as they dropped 4 exhibition tilts while winning only 3. As the league season opened the Bulldogs got hot winning their first 4 section XI games. It was in the 5th league game with Latrobe that North Huntingdon started down the league lad- der. After the loss to Latrobe, they dropped two more successive games, one to Jeannette and the other to Greensburg. Hopes were still high as the Bulldogs won over Derry Townshipg but the following game they lost to Scottdale which elim- inated them from the championship race. North Huntingdon ended the season in 4th place in Section XI with 7 victories against 6 defeats in league play. Bill Noble highlighted the year with his magnificent display of basketball. He totaled 362 points in 23 games to become the highest scorer in the history of North Huntingdon High School. Bill was also elected to both the All-County and All- Section basketball fives. Phil Henry and Dave Johnson were the only other two seniors on the team. This leaves almost a complete squad for next year's play. Dubosky, Reynolds, and Sherbondy, all of whom are juniors, played nearly every game and gave a good ac- count of themselves. Records of the previously mentioned are as follows: Du- bosky, 1993 Reynolds, 1763 Sherbondy, 91 points. North Huntingdon faced probably the toughest exhibition schedule in their short history. The Bulldogs met two section champions in the warm-up games at the beginning of the season. They were Young- wood, Class B and Section XX champs, and Monessen, Class A and Section VIII victors. Monessen played the Bulldogs in the first game of the Westmoreland Coun- ty Tournament besides participating in a regular exhibition contest. Both of these games ended with the Gold and Blue at the short end of the score.

Completing their first season in the Junior High League of Westmoreland County, the North Huntingdon Freshmen team ended the campaign with 6 wins and 10 defeats. Playing under the direction of Mr. Robert Wray, the Bullpups were ham- pered considerably by the lack of experi- ence. This was overcome at the climax of the season when they upset highly favored Harrold and Mt. Pleasant teams in succession. Dick Robertson was the high scorer for the Freshmen with 152 points. Miller and Orell followed with 116 and 59 tallies respectively. Among those who fell victim to North Huntingdon was Mt. Pleasant, Harrold, and New Stanton. North Irwin, due to the use of an ineligible player, was forced to forfeit two games to the Bullpups. JUNIOR VARSITY Ably coached by Mr. William Couch- enour, the North Huntingdon Jayvee basketball squad proved to be a high- scoring aggregation of boys with bright futures ahead of them. By amassing a total of 693 points, or an average of over thirty points a game, the final record shown by the team was 9 wins and 13 losses. This record was built up with single wins over Young- wood, East McKeesport, St. Vincent. Scottdale, Hurst, Trafford, and a notable victory over Latrobe by a 38-21 score. Derry Township was downed twice by the Bullpups. Led by Captain Eddy Thomas, who totaled 169 points, such boys as Gonga- ware, Borza, Pavlik, and Minerva also showed talent which can be looked upon with favor. North Huntingdon can look forward to good basketball seasons with material from teams such as this one. FRESHMAN Row 1: Derby, Bailey, Javor, Dudura, Plues, Borza.

Provided competition for the athletic-minded Under the supervision of Miss Olga Cawley a very well-developed girls' sports program has been adopted. The purpose of this program is to give the girls an opportunity to play in actual game situa- tions. The intramural program is held, on a seasonal basis, during the lunch hour to enable all girls to participate. Basic rules and skill are stressed in the gym classes, but the fundamental reason for the girls' sports activities program is to enjoy the sport. The intramural program includes table tennis, volleyball, basketball, bad- minton, field hockey, archery, softball, tumbling, and tennis. These games are played mainly to develop sportsmanship and leadership and to provide enjoyment for the participants as well as the spec- tators. There is keen competition in all sports, but the gym is packed to capacity when the playoffs are being held. Two senior home rooms were able to cop the volleyball and basketball championships. Room 34 took the former and Room C the latter. One of the most active and hard- working clubs in the school is the Leaders' Club. This year the girls chose Rosemary LEADERS' CLUB Row 1: Miss Cawley, Peat. McHugh, Maystrovich, Lee. Row Lauffer, Carosso. Hlava, Gongaware, Beacham, McCuean Carson, Claar. McHugh, Carolyn Peat, Alberta Maystro- vich, and Harriet Lee, president, vice- president, secretary, and treasurer, re- spectively, to lead them. Not only does the club have to referee the games and see that an accurate score is kept, but they are entirely in charge of setting up the whole intramural program. Under this set-up there is a chairman and committee for each sport, they were: badminton Alberta Maystrovich, Rosemary McHughg basketball, Pat McCuean, Jackie Carsong tumbling, Betty Lauffer, Jenniene Claar, Jean Viecellig softball, Jenniene Claarg table tennis, Harriet Lee, Alberta Mays- trovich, hockey, Barbara Beacham, Lois Gongawareg volleyball, Clara Hlava, Bet- tie Laufferg archery, Carolyn Peat, Bettie Lauffer, The first girl listed under each heading was the chairman of that sport. The Girls' Athletic Group of Sewickley Township High School sponsored a fun night. Four senior members of the Lead- ers' Club, Rosemary McHugh, Pat Mc- Cuean, Albert Maystrovich, and Carolyn Peat, acted as representatives of North Huntingdon.

TOUCH FOOTBALL 4 Climaxed by the Lettermen's Ball, the club concluded a very successful year. Led by officers Bill Fawcett, Jack Fecko, Bill Noble, and Nick Chopich, the club con- ducted an initiation for the new members who had earned their letter through foot- ball during the 1949-50 season. Later in the year another initiation was held for basketball players and wrestlers who had not received a letter before. A banquet, sponsored by the Boosters' Club, was held at the Manor Legion Hall for the presen- tation of jackets to the senior basketball and football players. With the theme April Showers, the Lcttermen's Ball on April 21 was a great success. Phil Cavezza's orchestra played for this annual social event. Accompanied by their advisers, Mr. Kass Kovalcheck and Mr. Roy Seibert, the club journeyed to McKeesport to enjoy a swimming party near the end of the school term. The well- planned and carefully-executed activities were enjoyed by all members. Under the leadership of Mr. John Brace and assisted by the Lettermen's Club, a well planned boys' sports program was a great success. The fundamentals of all sports were stressed in gym classes to both upper and underclassmen before the intramural program got under way. The well earned football champion- ship was won by Room 34 in the finals with Room A. During the winter alternat- ing with basketball were tumbling and also ping-pong. After a series of elimina- tions, senior Bill Noble won the table tennis championship from Albert Dick, freshman. Later in the year volleyball and softball gave much excitement to the students. Wrestling was also started this year on an interscholastic basis under the able coaching of Mr. Roy Seibert. Good sportsmanship and hard play were stressed at all times. Throughout the tournaments ardent support from the stu- dent body was readily given to the con- tenders. Emblems representing champion- ship achievement were given to the win- ners in each sport.- lftdf .gun DATES DANCES PARTIE W'ish wr would do it Prffpuriny for thr' Prom Look of contentness Grlfiny flu' riyhf rfffwt On to sec the Goz'ern0'r Ready for an evening of fun Enjoying milkslmkes after school This Daisy Mm' gots lu' Lil' Ahnvr Class rings aVlu'u-ys a, thrill ' Thrsf boys knml' bnrbr- shop lmrmmry Dolupafrlz r'l1rLrf11'fr rs in r'e1'ie1r S211 ior pictu res vrra tc 6.1't'iten1s'n t X, . -y V -4 Kg ,Vs , , HA .fi Q., 1L7 332 ,xl sg .L .ia ..
