As Mr. Matchett's comedian, he surely livened up the band and orchestra. O.S.H.S. expects to see you and your trombone on T.V., Wayne ?- Ain't nothin to it, says MARGARET DELORES ADAMS who has been a member of Yfteens for three years. Peggy's favorite subjects are typing and English. NTHE' sport in Peggy's estimation is basketball, although she will always remember the Oakf mont and Verona game of '51. l Noted for her excellent speaking ability is this happy senior. ALBERTA LEE ALEXANDER'S ambition in life is to be a pracf tical nurse. Her love of telling stories will certainly come in handy in this prof fession. Dramatic Club and Yfteens will surely miss her willing hand, and everyone will miss her reverent reading of the Bible. Keep up the good work, Bertie ! i JAMES HENRY ADAMS, fast charging end for the Red and Black, would like to follow in the footsteps of Gene Kelley. Mickie's prowess in sports and directing of the Pentagon Cats made O.H.S. history. We'll follow your footsteps 'LMickie , as you dance your way to fame. JOHN C. ARTMAN . . . Jack a newcomer to O. S.

They're real cute! Naturally, this job trainee aims to ibe a top notch secretary. Dramatic Club ranked high among Dedee's extrafcurricular activities. She'll make that typewriter hum. 1- Dick Contino had better watch his step! Here comes JOHN FRANCIS PETER BONAROTI II with his marvelous accordian. The entertainment he has given us in Variety Shows and assemblies will truly be missed. Student Council, Alma Club, Le Cercle, Dramatic Club, and band occupied Tinker's spare time. Lots of luck with that band. -- Sports in general, and basketball in particular, are the favorites of ROBERTA BREVARD. Bobbie, whose favorite subjects are gym and science is a member of the Yfteens, Leaders', French, Art, Dramatic clubs, and F.T.A.

They are the two inseparables of C.S.H.S. It goes without saying that Currie is a stanch member of Yfteens, especially since janet is the president. Her favorite subject, general business, will probably lead Lorraine to a career in business. Good luck, young lady. -- SHIRLEY ANN DAVIS will soon answer Uncle Sam's call for more nurses. When that time arrives, she will not have much opportunity to listen to soft music which is her escape from her worries. F.T.A. and Dramatic Club felt the affect of this quiet but responsible miss. Nice going, senior. i BARBARA ANN DENGLER will also soon be donning a nurse's pretty white cap, for her ambition in life is to take care of the sick. Barb's favorite subjects are typing and English.

Bill, vicefpresident of the senior class likes to 'follow all sports. A broken elbow kept him from playing football but didn't quell his enthusiasm. His loyalty always backed the Red and Black. l What? Can't you decide what color to paint your walls? Then the person to ask is JEAN FESCEMYER, our future interior decorator. Fess, with her wonderful personality did a grand job in Yfteens, Drama' tic and Leaders' clubs. She will surely be missed in the halls of C.S.I'I.S. -- Who is that Hhighfsteppingu majorette? Who else would it be but LYDIA ANN FLAIS. Lydia, vicefpresident of the F.T.A. Club and active in Yfteens and the '51 Periscope Staff, still found time for her hobby, collecting photographs. Lots of luck in your nursing career. -1- 'iAnd on the affirmative side may I present DAVID WALTER FLUKE, N.H.S.

She has just added college football to her list of sports. Barb, a Yfteen and job trainee, likes to relax by listening to Frankie Laine's records. English ranked high with this Ruth Roman admirer. --g HELEN JOAN GENT had better head for Washington for that's where shc may find the mink coat she desires. Shorthand and office practice are the favorite sub' jects of this faithful Yfteen member. Hence, it's not strange that she is to be a secretary. --T Zoom! There goes HUBERT FRANK GLASS down the street in his yellow and brown Pontiac hard top convertible. Not only his car but also his curly hair make Frank the envy of the feminine contingent of O.S.H.S. eff' I'll always remember the Oakmont and Verona game of '51, and the winning of the trophy, says WINIFRED SHIRLEY GOLDEN. S'hirley's most en' joyed subjects are history and art. Her hobbies are traveling and swimming. She was a member of the band, F.T.A., Rifle, Science, Art and Dramatic clubs. Add to that her job as feature editor on the Oak Leaf Staff. Busy, weren't you, Shirley? Ben Hogan is the idol of DONALD JOHN HASTINGS who hopes to be a professional golfer and own a hardware store. To escape from the cares of the world, Don likes to take a long drive. This six foot plus senior, who enjoys hunting, proved that he has literary ability by winning the Rod and Gun Club Essay Conf test. -f- To have a million dollars would make all of FRANK PETER GROSS'S dreams come true. Pete was a member of Science, French, and Rifle clubs. He cer- tainly did a swell job as topfnotch soccer player and manager of the football and basketball teams.

W- Algebra and chemistry rank high with JOHN ANTHONY HRIBAR, N.H.S. This two letter man in soccer is a member of the Math and Alma clubs. John, treasurer of Student Council, will always remember Oakmont's first year luck in soccer, We believe John has enough ability to realize his am- bition of becoming a successful engineer. Although just joining us in her sophomore year SUSAN DEAN HUBBELL, N.H.S. has a record to be proud of: Y-teens, Rifle, French, Leaders' clubs, Perisf cope, Student 'Council and Editorfinfchief of Oak Leaf.

Bien fait, Suzette! --f Oak Leaf Staff, class secretary, Dramatic Club, member of the cast of Along Came Peggy, French Club, Y-teens and Art Club gave BETTY JEAN JACOBSON, N.H.S. little time for her hobbies, music and roller skating.

The '51 Periscope and '52 Oak Leaf felt the influence of his efforts. We hope you won't be using your favorite expression I give up when you become an engineer, Wayne. 1-1 The interests of NANCY JEAN LOVE include stenography class, swimming and Dramatic Club.

L'Good things come in small packages is a perfect description of RICHARD THOMAS MATOR. Tuta whose hobby is woodworking hopes to be a pat' tern maker. Richard, vicefpresident of his homeroom 102, enjoyed plane geometry and shop. --- JOHN MARK McAULIFFE, one part of the twins, came to Oakmont High for his senior year from Harrisburg. When he isn't busy with Dramatic and French clubs and other things, Jack likes to play 'basketball and base' ball. We'll be reading about you when you're a big league baseball player. i- I hope we don't get any homework, says THOMAS McAULIFFE, the other part of the twins. Could it be that he's lazy or just too busy with basketball and figuring out the finances of the Dramatic Club.

Although b'Cuta didn't attend O.H.S. his freshman and sophomore years, he certainly made history on our football team. -ff- Foot' ball, football, and more football. That's all JCSEPH PERPICH cares about. To Perp that's the important side of school. His work on the gridiron proved the truth of this statement. Dramatic Club was the only other extra curricular activity of this gentleman from Harmarvillev. Photography and stamp collecting are the hobbies of H. ALAN PUGSLEY.

Her varied activities included Science Club, the vicefpresideney of the Dramatic Club, designer of Annie Oakleaf, Periscope, N.H.S. and Art Club.

Win was president of Leaders' Club and a member of Y' teens and Dramatic Club. Her hobby is collecting photographs-ffcould they be of a certain football player, Win ? -if Oh, for a breath of air, sighs NANCY GRACE TOPPING. This busy student, whose time was hlled with things like Student Council, May Queen, Yfteens, Alma Club, Dramatic Club, Le Cerele, Naf tional Honor Society, and editor of '51 Periscope plus many more, surely needs it. Before you leave please bequeath us your straight A report card, Nancy. Some of us could use it. -T Having car trouble? Then the man to see is CYRIL EDWARD WOODINCS, our future car mechanic. Many times Ed was conf spicuous because of his absence during hunting season. Well, after all he couldnt let his guns get rusty.

Happy hunting for that millon dollars you desire. TO YOU, MY ALMA MATER Three short years have passed, since first I came to you. To all your familiar rooms and halls, I now must bid adieu. The laughter, cheers, and even tears, that filled my days with thee Have made an imprint on my heart, ne'er to depart from me. But as I go, I'll remember well the memories you hold, Of the games, the plays, dances, and clubs, all the friendships edged in gold. Ubi est Cornelia? Parlez-vous francais? The antilog of .4l6, and Forensic meets today Are only some of the little things that make me want to say, Please, dear Alma Mater, don't make me go away! But the sands of time continued to slip quickly through the glass. Senior themes were finished, and we were working as a class To plan our picnic, play, and show, and to place upon the wall, A great big handsome '52, the pride of one and all. Then one day we realized as marching down the aisle To the strains of Pomp and Circumstancen and trying hard to smile That THIS was IT-the time had come, our diploma we had won But, dear Alma Mater, leaving just WASN'T any fun! Then, as I stood alone, the commencement o'er and done, I knew that those dear memories would be cherished every one, And as my eyes filled up with tears, I knew the past would soon grow dim, For I was but an alumnae on the outside, peeping in. -iNancy Topping, ,52 O.S.H.S. wishes the seniors of '52 the best of luck.

MARY ANN is earnestly writing a letter to the printer while MADELINE and JACK make arrangements for more advertising pictures. PHIL, our expert photographer, has al' ready gone with TOM to take some more action pictures at the game. Let's sneak over and try to listen in on those senior writeups that PAT FLYNN, PAT RUSKEWICZ, ALENE, and BOB have been checking and refchecking. No! They just won't let us peek. Next let's visit the candy room. Oh, it is really a busy place. While OATHY is filling the candy box for the daily rush, GEORGE carefully cuts a piece of paper for another eyefcatching poster to boost the dance on Saturday night. GLORIA and COOKIE, who are Page Thirty-four trying to find a 1935 book, are moved aside by SONNY, who just must have a candy bar before he and DONNA can complete their actionfpacked sports slants. Since we can't possibly squeeze in here, we'll just sit and relax as JILL displays her lovely art work on which she worked day and night so that you and I may enjoy pages adorned with gay drawings, As the hands of the clock near five o'cloek, LUOINDA and GLADYS help our sophs, MARIANNE and PEGGY, wrap the package so that it may be sent in the mornings' mail. MARGIE, CHUCKY, and ARLENE B. are now checking the day's income. This means the Periscopers' day is near the end. It may be five o'elock or it may be six o'clock. And so it goes the whole year through. These junior journalists have worked hard, but the feel' ing of satisfaction and accomplishment when the book goes to press is surpassed only by the thrill of the delivery of your Periscope in May.

With a hope for luck, Mr. Gross, our splendid coach, fielded a team of small hut scrappy hoys. This team really battled its way to victories over Etna and East Deer. Then came the Plum game! In the first half, when a penalty put them on the one yard line, Plum pushed across the only score of the game. Our hoys fought hard through a rainy second half hut were stopped in the waning moments short of the goal hy an intercepted pass. After that our hoys just couldn't seem to get hack on their feet and lost three straight games to Brentwood, West Deer, and Hampton. Then it came! The most unforgettahle game of the season. With high spirits, Oakmont invaded a highly touted Aspinwall team. After spotting their opponents six points, our hoys came to life. Be' hind great hlocking, Sams filled the air with passes. A heautiful catch hy i'Mickey Adams and a timely hlock hy Wagner led to our score. Calmly Meloni added the point hy placement and our team went home with a well deserved victory. Our hoys then lost a rough house game to Springdale, hut came back in fine form to defeat our traditional rival, Verona, on a snowy, muddy field for the third straight year. By doing this our hoys won permanent possession of the Scaife Trophy. Our Tenth and final game with Bellevue was can' cellcd hecause of had weather. We will always rememher the running of the hacks led hy Wagner and Ronnie Santicola, the passing of Sams, receiving of Evanusich and Mickey Adams, placefkicking of Meloni, and the hard charging line led hy Bob Palguta, Mzirius Santieola, and Boulton. But most of all, we will rememher how the team stood together as a unit, never put to disgrace hy the strongest of opponents. We all hope that O.S.l'l.S. will, in the future, he ahlc to see teams as good as the team of 1991. To the gridders of the Red E95 Black, we say thanks for a great season.

In that game with our great rival, the Uaks went on the court as an underfdog but completely hatfled Verona and dominated the whole game. Throughout the season the passing and scorf ing ahility of our two captains, Eddie Calle and Nick Evanusich, of our twins, Tom and -lack McAuliffe, the hook shot artistry of Herky Boulf ton, the amazing corner shots of Dom Venturella, the hacking of other fighting players, their un' wavering love of the game-all these facts com' bined to make a good haskethall season for the Red and Black in spite of the story told on the scoreboard.

Shortly afterwards an international dinner em' phasizcd the pleasure of having friends of various nationalitiesg food of many lands brought all closer together. Room 206 housed many peppy discus- sions on questions of the club's own choice. At one meeting a fascinating speaker on Fashions def lighted those present.

Scarcely a week passed without trips to the Y.W.C.A. to take part in the activities of the 'kmotherw organization. To complete a happy year together, President Shook and her committees planned a top notch picnic. The members agreed that it's fun to belong to a club of friendly serv' ice. The Oakmont chapter of HIfY was reforgan- ized this year for the purpose of stimulating a high standard of Christian character throughout the school. Through educational trips and partif cipation in athletic contests the boys have furthered this interest. The putting up of baskets for outdoor basketball was the special project of this year.

With the influence of the new lab and guidance ofa new sponsor, budding scientists could hardly resist joining the SCIENCE CLUB. These Einsteins of the future exhausted many worthwhile hours with their interesting experiments. They especially enjoyed the visit and demonstration by the Etna Science Club.

Membership in LE CERCLE is open to any member or exfmember of second or third year French class. At the meetings held Hchaque mois dans Salle lOl, on parle francais, on joue et on chante en francais. This year marks the ninth year the club has sent boxes of clothing and food stuffs to leur enfantu in Paris. Several members carry on a lively correspondence with French boys and girls in Paris and Algiers and realize that the language they are studying is a live, usable, and interesting subject. Once a month the Euclidean Society, better known as the MATH CLUB, discusses an inf teresting phase of mathematics or toys with some fantastically intriguing problems presented by Sponsor Bottenhorn. Although all math stu' dents are eligible to belong, the membership is small but enthusiastic. The members find that math can be lots of fun even when mixed up with slide rule manipulations and the study of college entrance exams. Euclid would be proud of his descendants.

This club organized in 1924 is small but enthusiastic. Club members never realized art would afford so many interesting games. Trips to art exhibits and to the Carnegie Institute gave them the opportunity to observe the world in art. Dramatic productions of any kind Hnd some club members working with their sponsor as make-up artists. In fact, most projects at O.S.H.S. feel the helpful influence of this club. To them, art means service and fun with the paint box and brush. Quietly but effectively the FUTURE TEACH' ERS OF AMERICA Club has proved its worth. Although the W. Lee Gilmore Chapter, so named to honor our former superintendent of schools, has only completed its second year, it has already gone down in O.S.H.S. history. The senior members actually taught and observed in the elementary schools for a half day each report period during the second semester. A Christmas party, a visit to the F.T.A. of WESTMINS-TER COLLEGE, several speakers, and part sponsorship of the P.T.A.fGuidance Teas in October, gave all the teachersftofbe a varied program of fun mixed with practical and useful experience.

These boys and girls chosen from the parochial schools as well as the public school system were those who received the American Legion Medal Award upon graduation from the eighth grade. They were chosen by their eighth grade classmates and teach' ers on the basis of scholarship, leadership, courage, service, honor and Americanism. The Oakmont group is called the E. N. EDMISTON CHAPTER in honor of the late Mr. Edmiston who founded the organization. Merit and scholarship are recognized at O.S'.H.S. by membership in the NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY and by granting HONOR PINS. According to national rules only 157, of the graduating class and 571 of the junior class are eligible for election in the first organization. The members are chosen for the following qualiiicationsg leadership, service, character, and scholarship, all of equal importance. The HONOR PIN system was inaugurated by the Student Council. The pins are to be awarded to those on the Honor Roll for one, two, or three years. To receive this recognition a student must Pa ge Fifty-six have an average of B or better in solid subjects. Those who wear either the National Honor or the Honor Roll pin should wear them proudly, they mean clean character and good scholarship. Job Trainees are ready for action: Standing: V. Nasse, H.

The second semester always brings them the opportunity to make a practical application of what they have been studying. Many times this experience leads to permanent positions, for our secretarial career' ists are known by the local business men to be responsible, willing and courteous. The best wishes of O.S.H.S', go with these business women. Late in the year a small but enthusiastic group of shutter bugs joined forces to form the PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB under Mr. Master's sponsorship. Instead of just shooting promisf cuously, hoping for good results, they have learned the various parts of the camera, the functions of each, and how to shoot good pictures. The mysf teries of the dark room and its uses are unraveled as the camera artists learn to develop and print their own work. For some, this hobby will become a profitable avocation, perhaps even their vocation. ' MEMBERS OF HI-Y K. Braden R. Chase B. Gauger C. McNeil E. Tessaro R. Butler T. Catullo R. Hanus G. Short M.

S. and my name is Cathy. I have a story which I think will interest many of you. It's about my experience in the retailing field. Here at Murphy's one learns retailing from the bottom up! I started out as an extra salesgirl, working every day after school. When I was graduated, I was fortunate to be placed in charge of a counter. I never knew how really interesting this work could be . . . it's just like having a shop of my own. I'm growing here, taking more responsibility as I go. There's still more room for advancement . . . I can work myself into a position of merchandise buyer, section supervisor, or bookkeeper in the office. Soon I hope to be selected to train for the job of Personnel Directress in a large new Murphy Store. All of us at Murphy's have an equal chance to better ourselves. From what I can see, Murphy's is tops in training . . . and there isn't a store in town to beat Murphy's on Employee benefits! If you're ambitious to make a go of retailing, join the Gang at Murphy's as soon as you can. G. C. Murphy Company OAKMONT, PA. VERONA, PIA.

I ind that I can rest in peaceg Noise and confusion NCIW will cease. But back they come and then things hum Until the tardy bell has rung.
