I SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL • OIL - £ • I FOREWORD THIS IS THE SPACE AGE WHEN OUR MINDS ARE FILLED WITH GUIDED MISSILES, SAC, EXPERIMENTAL FLIGHTS, AND SPACEMEN. FOR THIS REASON WE HAVE USED SPACE SYMBOLS AND TERMINOLOGY TO DESCRIBE THIS GENERATION. AT THE BEGINNING OUR SCHOOL CAREER IS A VAST UNKNOWN, JUST AS SPACE IS BOUNDLESS AND LIMITLESS TO SCIENTISTS. WE HAVE USED THE ROCKET TO SYMBOLIZE OUR STUDENT BODY— A GROUP WHICH LIKE THE ROCKET HAS, WITH PROPER GUIDANCE AND EQUIP- , MENT, THE POWER TO SOAR INTO A , VAST UNKNOWN. THE GANTRY, WHICH ’ « ' SUPPORTS AND SERVICES THE ROCKET, ! WE BELIEVE IS SYMBOLIC OF OUR FAC-ULTY, WHICH, BY ITS TEACHINGS, • EQUIPS THE STUDENT BODY WITH THE TOOLS NECESSARY FOR A SUCCESSFUL FUTURE; AND THEN SUPPORTS IT UNTIL IT IS READY TO TRAVEL ON ITS OWN. AND SO SPACE BECOMES ALMOST A SECONDARY THEME AS WE USE IT AS A SYMBOL FOR THIS YOUNGER GENERATION. - • • • at OPENING SECTION ADMINISTRATION AND FACULTY 14 SENIORS JUNIORS SOPHOMORES FRESHMEN ATHLETICS FOOTBALL BASKETBALL WRESTLING TENNIS TRACK • • a • . ACTIVITIES CLUBS MUSIC CHEERLEADERS PUBLICATIONS Webster Couldn't Do It-But Shepard Did We had searched and searched each of the three thousand one hundred ninety-four pages of Webster's Unabridged Dictionary, but we couldn't find it. Then suddenly with the flight of the Liberty Bell the astronauts gave us just the term we wanted. A-OK , said Shepard. And we say, A-OK really describes This Younger Generation. Many people are critical of this generation, portraying them as irresponsible individuals. However, irresponsibility is the exception rather than the rule. The average teen-ager is vitally interested in school, community, and nation; and we have facts to prove it! Students work diligently to uphold school standards. They help Oil City by rendering community services, such as making and distributing Thanksgiving favors to the sick and by participating in Youth Appreciation Day. Mass production is used in bringing holiday cheer to hospital patients. The favor committee of the Jun. ior Red Cross undertakes this project. Mary Grzasko, Gloria Giles, and Barb Hartel represent the committee also consisting of Mary Crosby, Kathy Hogg, Rebecca Hogg, Mary Nunemaker and Carol Shawl. 6 Cheer, cheer, our Oiler team .. ' Megaphones blare forth the popular school pep song, and the crowd spurs our team on to victory. Larry Lawrence, right, police chief, guards the money bag as Lonnie Cohn, city controller, adds a contribution. Pat Shaugh-nessy, councilman, and Donna Petre, mayor, supervise the proceedings. These students were appointed city officials on Youth Appreciation Day. 7 Dad helps out. Mr. Etzel repairs the sweeper which Susan has brought to him. Sportsmanship is stressed in athletic contests. Before the game, John Waitkus and Jack Deets shake hands with their opponents. 8 OiAA Mary Ann Wiltanger is recognized by Student Council president Keith Keller, and makes a motion concerning school affairs. I From Many Parts Comes The Integrated Whole We realize that the guidance of many people was necessary in preparing This Younger Generation for the future. Our homes and churches made the first contributions toward our development. Later, from school sponsored activities, we learned social responsibility, service to others, and sportsmanship. The Student Council taught us the fundamentals of democracy. All of these factors contributed toward an A-OK generation. Exchange students exchange ideas on souvenirs from Germany. Carol Lutz, who spent the summer in Germany, has much to discuss with Bernd Luftner about his homeland. Science in the making! Future scientists Cheryl Plowman, Tom Curran, Joanne Osman, and John Waitkus wonder as to the results of their latest experiment. The hampster has an altogether different attitude on this subject. 10 We Begin The Countdown For The Future These have been our formative years in which we were first introduced to science, religion, art, and literature. Now Shirley Rosin, Gail Kulling and Pat Allebach practice for the Christmas Cantata. This Younger Generation goes on to make its contribution to the future. Our closely knit group will scatter in many directions. Some will enter the armed forces, some, the world of business, and others will enroll in institutions of higher learning. Who can predict the extent of our contributions to the future? Will there be another Washington, another Rockefeller, another Einstein, or another Shepard in our ranks? Time alone will tell. If we benefit from the wisdom of the ages, if we avoid the mistakes of the past, if the fruits of our research aid mankind, then perhaps This Younger Generation will reach that star which many years ago became the symbol of peace on earth, good will toward men. The library is a quiet place in which to study and to gain knowledge. Taking advantage of the opportunity are Dixie Tingue, Arnetta Beatty, Linda Dempsey, Ken Winger, and Tom Socha. 11 SECRETARIES, SUPERINTENDENT'S OFFICE—Front Row: Mrs. Ulo Dunlap, Mrs. Ann Spangler, Mrs. Ruth Williams.

WEBBER IS Service Held In High Esteem Benefits MR. CARL H. TOWNSEND Principal Mr. Carl H. Townsend, our principal, always has a cheery greeting and an ever-ready smile. The responsibilities which he must shoulder are great. In his never-ending job of maintaining a smooth-running organization, he must not only advise the teachers, plan schedules, and help the students, but he must also oversee all other activities. Mr. Townsend was born in Arcanum, Ohio. He was educated in Arcanum and was graduated from Arcanum High School. He received his Bachelor of Arts degree from Ohio University and his Masters in Education degree from the University of Pittsburgh. Our thanks to you, Mr. Townsend, for the part you played in our high school careers. DR. H. VIRGIL GRUMBLING Superintendent of Schools Dr. H. Virgil Grumbling has served capably as superintendent of the Oil City Area Schools for sixteen years. His position gives him the responsibility of acting as chief administrative officer over all schools in the area, from kindergarten through the twelfth grade. Dr. Grumbling was born in Homer City, Indiana County, Pennsylvania. A graduate of Indiana State College, Waynesburg College, and the University of Pittsburgh, Dr. Grumbling has received his Bachelors, Masters, and Doctors degrees in education. We, the students of Oil City Senior High School, wish to give our sincerest thanks to Dr. Grumbling for the effective work he has done for our school. 16 Student Body Seated: Mrs. Judy Quattro Standing: Miss Loretta Lape SOUTH SIDE JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL FACULTY.

Lamey Home and School Visitor Dana M. Pringle Guidance Director Paul L. McNaughton Special Education Mary Elizabeth Williams Librarian Five minutes left ' stresses Mr. Pringle, guidance director, as Lynne Lilly takes the S.R.A. Youth Inventory Test given to sophomores. 18 Although their work was seldom praised, our guidance counselors had a great deal to do with the shaping of our students' vocations. With the help of tests and individual consultations, the guidance department was able to determine in what fields a student would do his best work. In addition to this vocational guidance, both Mr. Pringle and Mrs. Gill stood ready to help with any problems encountered by a student. Miss Lamey, in her role as home and school visitor, rendered another type of guidance service to the students. Mrs. Williams and Mrs. Daubenspeck were in charge of our library. Assisted by student librarians, the supervisors kept the library with its 6,915 volumes, 85 magazines, and 280 recordings running smoothly and efficiently. Students Become A-OK Employees Mr. Mohr teaches Georgia Beach, Betsy Tarr, Diane Rhoades, and Judy Myers the techniques of running ditto and mimeograph machines efficiently. Miss Snyder watches Gayleen Chelton correct a typing error. George E. Mohr Secretarial Practice Shorthand II Consumer Economics Office Machines Adv. Arithmetic Edith M. Bell Adv. Arithmetic Shorthand I Bookkeeping II Arthur Erbe Bookkeeping I General Business Mary Ellen Snyder Typing I II Business Education The business education department of Oil City Senior High School offered many opportunities to students wishing to pursue a career in the business world. Students were able to elect either the secretarial course or the clerical course, his selection depending upon his abilities and aptitudes. Four teachers in this department, striving to equip students with the skills and attitudes they would need when they became job seekers, stressed typing, shorthand, bookkeeping, office machines, business arithmetic, English, and related subjects. In May senior business students were sent to various offices in the Oil City area. This work experience program gave students an opportunity to learn what the business world requires of its employees. The goal of this department was to prepare students to meet the rising challenge of the modern business world. Through repetition Sharon Heffern, Frances Lape, Charlotte Conn, and Jackie Peterson become proficient in shorthand. Jackie and Charlotte are quizzing the other two girls with brief form flashcards. 19 From triangles in plane geometry . . . Charles Venturella and Linda Comet explain a theorem to the class. Gordon E. Porter Plane Solid Geometry Intermediate Advanced Algebra Trigonometry W. Ronald Webster Plane Geometry Math-From Plane To Solid Mathematics Prove it was a command resounding from each room of the mathematics department. Approximately three hundred seventy-five students had no trouble doing so if they had mastered the work each day, as had been advised by the four teachers in this department. While the plane geometry students were struggling to prove postulates and theorems, the Algebra II classes tackled binomial equations. Identities were baffling in trigonometry; properties of solids, in solid geometry. Advanced algebra students studied equations and were given a glimpse of calculus. . . . To pyramids in solid geometry. Mr. Porter, Charles Kun-selman, and Cathy Moon discuss how to find the lateral area of a regular pyramid. Harold L. Wells Algebra I Advanced Arithmetic Joseph M. Young Arithmetic Reading 20 Science s Challenge-Turbulence or Tranquility In chemistry many special projects were undertaken by the students. Honors could be won by these projects if they were entered in the Science Fair. The students in biology learned the basic facts of living things to gain a better understanding of life. The advanced course took the annual trip to Warren State Hospital and Polk State School and Hospital. An elaborate machine for demonstrating wave motions was given to the Physics Department by the General Telephone Company. In the field of projects, several boys worked on two solar powered radios. This is what we have to look forward to in advanced biology, Mike Crawford explains to Shirley Slesnick as he lifts a pigeon out of a bucket filled with formaldehyde. Warren Anna Biology Adv.

Wallace Science Geography English The tensile strength of different types of wires is tested in physics lab. Mr. Etzel explains to Max Skiba, Robin Horne, Ken O Neil, Bill Walters, Jim Etzel, Bill Passauer, David Downing, and Denver Slagle the fundamentals of this experiment. Language--The Bridge to Diplomacy Languages Many activities were held in different classes of the language department supervised by its eight teachers. English students prepared book reports and source papers. The reading program was unique, for our school is one of the few where the librarians talked individually with each student about his book. French and Spanish students were instructed by Mr. McFall, who replaced Miss Eddy. Records, songs, and visitors provided variation; and students were further exposed to a language by having it spoken to them throughout the class period. Latin classes, ably directed by Mrs. Skinner, studied the writings of Caesar, Cicero, and Plato. All work and no ploy is fine for Jack but Spanish club members vary their educational program when they meet one evening of each month. Refreshments, served by Linda Adel-son, are enjoyed by Linda Louret and Mr. McFall, adviser, (front row) and Ron DeWoody, Cheryl Plowman, and Clinton Best (back row). Who ever heard of a time keeper in English class? No, they're not playing games, they're giving book reports. Jay Kase holds the card which signifies that Cathy Linehan has only three minutos in which to finish her report. Ruth R. Bankson English Reading F. LaMonte Lewis English Speech Highway Safety Ed.

Miss Reid commends Sally Cameron on her excellent English project. Sally made this replica of an Elizabethan theater for Mrs. Deiter's English class. Robert C. Allen Problems of Democracy Vance D. Brown Robert L F|ath C'v'cs U. S. and World History Arithmetic Henrietta Leyda U. S. History Mankinds Story-From Rocks To Rockets Social Studies The evolution of man and his country was presented in the Social Studies Department by six teachers. Every student in Senior High was enrolled in this department. The classes of world history and world cultures studied the arts of nations as well as the historical backgrounds, while the eleventh graders probed the who, whats, whens, wheres, and whys of American history. Problems of democracy became more realistic to the student through his study of elections, income tax returns, and monthly reports. Margie L. McCash History Physical Ed. Health Clement Urban Civics World Cultures World History This attractive bulletin board, prepared for Mr. Urban's history class by Charles Witmer and Sandra Williams, shows the natural resources and industries in Pennsylvania. Mike $a-bousky listens to the explanation. 24 Geography cannot be separated from history, learns Gary Barnes when he is quizzed by Miss Leyda in American history class. All juniors are required to take this subject. The unusual structure of Oil City High School provides on interesting subject for art students. Patty Cowden, Dennis O'Neil, and Gene Schiffer take advantage of a sunny afternoon to sketch the building. Art--The Perfection of Nature C. Frank Puleo Music Philip Runzo Music Director Fine Art Under the capable direction of Mr. Watkins, students readily became aware of the beauty in art. In his three senior high and two junior high classes, sculpture, architecture, oil paintings, and copper enameling took form and gradually evolved into excellent examples of creative art. An emphasis upon the importance of art in culture—past, present, and future—gave the students a well-rounded course in creative expression. Music groups will be found in the activity section of this annual. 25 Jacques R. Watkins Art Do os I preach, not os I practice, says Dave Myers. Although he was asked to pose this way for the picture, Dave explains that this is the incorrect procedure for playing a tuba. From Their Skills Will Spring Their Vocational Department The intriguing mechanism of a complex automobile engine, the baffling diagrams and blueprints by which machines were made, and the tricky formulas needed to refine gases were just a few of the problems vocational students were subjected to daily. In meeting these challenges, one hundred-four students and nine teachers displayed extreme patience and skill, realizing that a thorough knowledge of classroom work would lead to success in a related vocation. Though small in size, this department, consisting of auto shop, machine shop and oil and gas shops, provided invaluable knowledge for its students. Mr. Ziegler explains to Bob Amsler and Hugh Dykins how lo find the dimensions that apply to that blueprint. Blueprint Reading III concerns the exceptions to the rules of blueprint reading. John W. Askins Industrial Arts Edwin J. Jakubowski Machine Shop Peter S. Scierka English History R. Russell Buckham Petroleum, Natural Gas Archie Matha Machine Shop Blaine E.

Ziegler Mechanical Drawing Let the chips fall where they may, thinks Ray Dunkel as he surfaces a board with a planer. Supervising his work is Mr. Askins who also points out the fundamentals of this art to John Welms. Mr. Jakubowski instructs Bob Brown and Dave Lynn in the use of a precision machine which measures the accuracy of machine ports. Styles do change; therefore, girls in the homemaking depart ment iearn how to modernize old hats. Patty O'Brien (rights displays her product to Elva Knight. Homemaking A project on the renovation of furniture was responsible for the sparkling new look in the home economics room. In addition to this skill, sewing, cooking, nursing techniques, and child care were taught under the capable supervision of Mrs. Best, Mrs. Matthews, and Mrs. Krug. Scholarships, the Betty Crocker Award, and the Crisco Award gave the students added incentives for their work. Training for girls in the vocational home-making course was more concentrated and designed to prepare them for securing a position upon graduation. Students in the general homemaking course were prepared to adapt the many phases of home economics to their individual problems and interests. Successful Homes - -A Successful Nation Students learn the useful art of renovating old furniture in the homemaking department. Pam Piercy assists Mrs. Matthews in putting springs on a chair. Betty Rishei Best Home Economics Ruth Mead Supervisor of Homemaking and School Lunch Program 28 Ruth Ann Krug Home Economics Edith M. Matthews Home Economics Health and Safety Imperative In World Crisis Realizing that health and safety influenced each student, Senior required tenth grade health and eleventh grade safety classes. Determined to help in the prevention of cancer in the world, Mrs. Bartlett taught its causes and cures to the girls' health classes. This information was followed by a cancer notebook project. Another problem that our generation is concerned with is the crowded highways. Through safety education, students learned the standard rules and used them in Mr. Houtz's driving classes. Eva D. Bartlett Health Civics Emily Fry Head Nurse James L. Enos, Jr. Physical Education Highway Safety Education Blair Hildebrand Athletic Director Health Fire! Fire! Not really. This is a practice fire drill held periodically throughout the year. Students are instructed beforehand as to which exits to use and the correct procedure on leaving the room.

Wally Morrison and Pam Sterner deliberate over the desserts at lunch time. CUSTODIANS—Front Row: Mr. Richard Ahrens, Mr. Rowland Plowman (foreman), Mr. Adolph C. Kulling. Back Row: Mr. Henry Thomas, Mrs. Betty Snyder, Mr. Howard T. Tock. Custodians Clean floors, washed blackboards, shiny windows, warm rooms, dustless furniture—these we take for granted, giving very little thought to the work required to do these jobs. Yet, during each day and night of the school year, six custodians, supervised by Mr. Plowman, perform these tasks, which not only add to our comfort, but which maintain a healthy atmosphere. Then, too, if we occasionally think about the work of the janitorial staff, we think of it in terms of the school year. Few of us stop to realize that all summer long, while we are enjoying our newfound leisure, these people with the help of part-time personnel are preparing the building for the new term. To these people and to those of the maintenance staff who are never too busy to be our friends we say, Thanks! LUNCH ROOM - STUDENT STAFF—Front Row: Mary Jane Sylvester, Helen Neil, Janet Horn. Row 2: Marcine Shontz, Peggy McClintock, Judy Strickland. Back Row: Elva Knight, Crystle Strouse, Mary Anderson. 30 Cooks Prepare Over 600 Meals Every Day. Lunch Room Staff Five hundred fifty to six hundred lunches are served each day. Few of us would want to face this tremendous task, yet Mrs. Mead, supervisor of the school lunch program, and her staff complete this job with utmost efficiency. Mrs. Mead's many duties include planning menus, buying food, selecting and supervising personnel, and managing the finances of the school lunch program. Manager Mrs. Ruth Siver-ling heads a Senior High staff, consisting of four full-time and two part-time employees. Women cannot become full-time employees until they have participated in a regular training program and have worked on a part-time basis. The purpose of the program is two-fold. It enables an applicant to appraise the advantages and disadvantages of the work, and it gives supervisors an opportunity to observe the applicant's skills and attitudes. In addition, regular members of the staff are encouraged to attend Pennsylvania State University each summer to participate in a week's workshop on food preparation and management. This staff is proud of the new steam jacket kettle, steam pressure cooker, and stainless steel refrigerator which were purchased this year. Bill Graff receives from Mr. Robert Witmer, head of the Supply Department, materials necessary for a smooth and efficient running school. LUNCH ROOM STAFF—Mrs. Mary Ward, Mrs. Kathryn Garmong, Mrs. Muriel Coon, Mrs. Ruth Siverling, Mrs. Myrtle Burchfield, Mrs. Josephine Patterson, Mrs. Pearl Beightol. SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS—Front Row: Pot Shoughnessy, president; Bob Montgomery, treasurer. Back Row: Joyce Dempsey, secretary; Mr. Ziegler, adviser; Roberta Breene, vice president.

They are (seated) Lonnie Cohn, Keith Keller, Donna Petre, (standing) Pat Shaughnessy, Nancy McFate, Jack Deets. 56 Outstanding Personalities Superlatives A combination of many personalities make up every group. Each class has its cheerful people, its thinkers, its athletes, its helpers, its talented, and its outstanding personalities. The Class of '62 chose those of their classmates who possessed an abundant amount of those qualities and labeled them superlative, which means of the highest degree. The yearbook editors chose the categories for the superlatives and members of the Senior Class voted for two people they thought were outstanding in each of the various categories. MOST HELPFUL Bob Wiltanger Cathy Moon MOST ATHLETIC Jack Deets Joyce Dempsey PERSONALITY PLUS Pat Shaughnessy Nancy McFate 57 63 s Graduating Class The Junior Class started its campaign to earn money this year with the sale of season tickets to the football, wrestling, and basketball games. The successful magazine sale resulted in $1578.36 being added to the class fund. An ice cream party was given to room 343, the high home room with $1129.81 worth of magazines sold. Peggy Stewart, the high saleswoman, won a Decca three-speed stereo-phonograph for her sales of $361.89. Greg Williams sold magazine subscriptions totaling $133 which brought him an RCA table radio. The proceeds of these sales will be used to help finance the 1963 Oil Can and the Junior-Senior Prom which will climax the final activities of the 1962 graduating class.

Although at the season's end the Oilers had compiled a 3-5 record, both coaches and students are hoping for a more successful season next year. This season's head coach, Mr. Hildebrand, was assisted by Mr. Flath and Mr. Russell. The addition of new assistants, Mr. Urban and Mr. Burch, rounded out the coaching staff. This year's squad was quarterbacked by Ted Stoudt. The Oiler backfield was composed of Jack Deets, John Waitkus, Tom Kerr, and Chuck Venturella. The Oiler line was led by Steve Stephens, DeWayne Hilton, Dick Krug, Jim Kur-tick, Steve Maher, Mike Morris, Leroy Motter, and Greg Williams. Ralph Fox and Terry Ingham presented formidable opposition for the opposing teams' passing attacks. In individual honors this year. Oil City placed high. John Waitkus won the Section II scoring title with thirty points and Jack Deets was second with twenty-eight points. Oiler standouts De-Wayne Hilton and Ted Stoudt were selected to the Section II defensive first team and the offensive second team. Sharing the Section II honors were the following teammates: second team offense, Steve Stephens and John Waitkus; second team defense, Jim Kurtick and Jack Deets; honorable mention, Ralph Fox, Steve Maher, Mike Morris, Leroy Motter, Ed Szympruch, and Chuck Venturella. John Waitkus is about to receive a forward pass.

And the Score Goes Up Another Notch! Basketball Coach Dutch Burch, in his second year as head coach, led the Oil City basketball team to a 10-1 1 season. Led by seniors Bob Fry, Dick Straw-bridge, Ed Miller, and Duck Motter, the Oilers played an aggressive, fast-moving style of game. Of the many thrills witnessed by Oiler fans this year, two highlights predominate. When the Dutchmen upset the previously undefeated Warren Dragons, pandemonium broke loose in the Oiler ranks. The final game of the year literally put the stopper on the 1961-1962 season. In a fast-moving game which ended in double overtime. Oil City defeated the Corry Beavers by a score of 88-82. Several Oilers received Section II honors. Bob Fry and Dick Strawbridge were selected to the Section II second team. Ed Miller received an honorable mention.

Moderns Turn Ancient Latin Club Latin, an ancient language, has found new meaning in Mrs. Skinner's Latin Club. After studying the intricacies of grammar in class, the fifty-five members of the club enjoyed using the language for recreational purposes at their monthly meetings. Under the direction of the president, Jeanne Linehan, the business part of the meetings was conducted in an orderly manner. When the secretary, Harry McFate, called the roll, the students answered with the well known Adsum. Then the program was turned over to Sandra Morris, program chairman. Through jokes, songs, pictures, and plays, the historical background and grandeur of the language was brought out in an interesting and worthwhile manner. The members of this club have truly profited by the fun and pleasure involved in getting together.

Language Pupils Journey Abroad In Studies Spanish Club French Club This year's Spanish Club was under the direction of a new teacher, Mr. McFall. The club met once a month at night in the home economics room. Refreshments were served at the close of each meeting. Speakers, movies, and songs were among the most numerous of the programs presented. Both first year and second year Spanish students were members of the club. The officers of the club were president, Jerry Spangler; vice president, Dick Hockenberry; secretary, Connie McCarthy; and treasurer, Mike Morris. Bonjour. Comment allez-vous le soir? This conversation might have been heard between two French students. Under the leadership of Mr. McFall, club adviser, the French Club met on the last Monday of each month at seven o'clock in the evening. Consisting of twenty-six members, the club elected the following officers: Nancy McFate, president; Nancy Caldwell, vice president; Carol Lutz, secretary; and Carol Brecht, treasurer.

The Future Teachers of America Club consisted of members wanting to be a part of this highly regarded profession. F.T.A. was capably guided by president, Linda Adelson; vice president, Mary Crosby; recording secretary, Peggy Stewart; and corresponding secretary, Susan Shreve. The club members gave much service to the school by acting as monitors between eight o'clock and eight-thirty in the morning in front of the auditorium door. The members also served as guides on the annual Visitor's Day. A friendly welcome greets visi.'ors to Senior High on November 9, 1961.

This saying may have been remembered by F. H. A. members as they learned decorating, nursing, and the cooking of tasty recipes, all of which goes into making a comfortable and happy home. Officers for this year were Roberta Breene, president; Jane Cochran, vice president; Mabel Huber, secretary; and Dianne McLaughlin, treasurer. Their advisers were Mrs. Best and Mrs. Matthews. All of the girls took a trip to Pittsburgh as one of their projects. Senior girls participated in the Betty Crocker Homemaker of Tomorrow Contest. The club motto was again Toward New Horizons. Profiting from their meetings, the girls gained ideals and helpful tips which insure them a better tomorrow both in community and home affairs.

This club, made up of fifty members, gave the students an outside interest in business. In October the members of F. B. L. A. went to Pittsburgh to visit and tour the Alcoa Building and the Robert Morris School. Mr. Erbe, Miss Bell, and Miss Snyder were the chaperons. The students had a discussion about the trip when they returned, and everyone thought it was really a worthwhile venture. This club sponsored many other activities such as football and basketball dances. They also sponsored a Christmas party which was a huge success. The officers were chosen at the beginning of the year and were as follows: president, Mary Jane Sylvester; vice president, Judy Turner; and secretary Judy Myers.

Club Activity Art Club Encourages Student Ability Euclid Club For the first time in the history of the school, the Senior High Art Club, supervised by Mr. Watkins, was divided into two groups, each containing twenty students. The purpose of this club was to provide an opportunity for Senior High students to further their education in art. Under careful supervision, the students worked on projects pertaining to their interests. Knowing that hard work would be the backbone of every project, and that no honors would be received, members worked diligently, claiming personal satisfaction as their compensation. After a year's absence, Euclid Club was reorganized under the supervision of Mr. Porter. Any senior taking an advanced mathematics course could become a member of this illustrious group whose purpose was that of doing more concentrated work in the field of mathematics than could be done in class. Steve Stephens, president, ably presided over the monthly meetings and was given staunch support by Steve Maher, vice-president; Terry Ingham, secretary; and Larry Lawrence, treasurer.

Nancy, left, and Sally add finishing touches to their Hallowe'en display which features mystery stories. Library This year our library staff has undergone some changes. The sixteen novice sophomore librarians have united with the junior and senior staffs under the recently appointed head librarian, Mrs. Williams. Aiding Mrs. Williams is Mrs. Daubenspeck, the new assistant. The librarians' duties include the dusting and straightening of the school's seven thousand volumes, the cutting of bookmarks, the distributing of new magazines and books, and the checking in and out of books, pamphlets, and records for the pupils. Their appreciative smiles and willingness to help are welcomed by the students and teachers alike. SOPHOMORE LIBRARY STAFF.

Board Sets Pace For Vocational Students Vocational Board A government of the people, by the people, for the people is a good motto for the Vocational Board. This board was headed by the president, Gary Griffin; secretary, Hugh Dylans; and vice president, Gordon Cook. All of the officers were members of the Vocational Department. The governing body consisted of student representatives from all the shops. The ten members of the board had the job of making and carrying out the rules to be followed in the Vocational Department. Mr. Rorabaugh, their adviser, and the members arranged all the activities that the shop members sponsored. A few of these activities were the selling of vocational jackets and the sponsoring of the annual spring picnic in May. Whenever problems arose, the board discussed the situation and tried to find a reasonable solution.

H (♦“ Extend a Helping Hand Debate The federal government should equalize educational opportunities by means of grants to the states for public elementary and secondary education. That was the question confronting this year's debate teams. There were two teams, negative and affirmative, each consisting of four students. They were ably coached by Mrs. Skinner, Latin instructor at Senior. Every Tuesday evening the teams met to discuss the topic and practice debating. The scheduled debates included matches at Warren and Cochranton. One of the many advantages of membership was that it taught the students how to think clearly and logically. Ushers Good evening, sir. May I help you find a seat? These cheerful words and a friendly smile were the greeting of the seventy-six junior and senior girls who voluntarily served as ushers for various special events held at Senior High. Such events included Community Concerts, the Senior Class Play, the annual mystery play, and numerous meetings. This group, sponsored by the Student Council, was under the supervision of Mr. Bromley. Nancy McFate and Linda McCracken, co-chairmen, were responsible for making assignments. DEBATE—Front Row: Sam Cangemi, Ed Miller. Row 2: Helen King, Joanne Strickland, Shirley Rosin.

The task was performed during the Senior Class Play by Carol Thomas, Keith Keller, and Pat Stralka. This scene was one of the highlights of the entertaining ploy. There was always Room for One More in the Rose household and, no matter how hard it was to make ends meet. Poppy and Mother Rose could never say no to a homeless child. Tragedy, happiness, and yes—even violence—contrasted to bring us the wonderful Senior Class Play, Room for One More, which is based on the best selling novel by William Davidson. In addition to Mr. Lewis, director of the play, the production staff included Connie Rice and Carol Rogers, student directors; Tom Socha, Diane Rhoades, and Helen Neil, prompters; Beverly Bickel, properties manager; and Karl Seifert, sound effects.

Plot of Suspense and Suspicion Mystery Play A dark, drafty mansion converted into a boarding house in the nation's capital was the setting for the happy, haunting comedy. Terror in the Suburbs, this year's mystery play. This suspense-filled comedy in three acts by Frances L. Stuart set the audience on the edge of their seats—one moment in suspenseful terror, the next in riotous laughter. The strange chanting of If a Body Meet a Body gave an eerie sensation to the interims between murders. In the end the villains were bashed, the spy ring smashed; justice was triumphant—and laughter rampant! Mr. Lewis was ably assisted by student director Mary Alice Boland, sound manager Karl Seifert, and prop manager Beverly Bickel.

Ill Make a Joyful Sound-Serve With Gladness Music The A Cappella Choir, composed primarily of senior boys and girls, has given Senior High a wonderful gift—the gift of music. One hundred thirty students were members of this year's choir. Under the direction of Mr. Runzo, A Cappella sang a musical repertoire which included religious hymns, Negro spirituals, folk tunes, chorales, and novelty numbers. The major activities of A Cappella were the annual Christmas cantata, the Broadway musical —' Anything Goes, Swing Out, and the A Cappella assembly. In addition to giving concerts in several surrounding high schools, the choir presented musical programs to several of the Oil City service clubs. The officers for this year's choir were Keith Keller, president; Joanne Osman, secretary; Jack Deets, librarian; and Nancy McFate, robe mistress. The following section leaders were elected: Soprano I, Linda McCracken; Soprano II, Susan Shreve; Alto I, Jeanne Linehan; Alto II, Cheryl Plowman; Tenor I, Terry Bussard; Tenor II, Gary Morrison; Bass I, Doug Dinberg; Bass II, Larry Hamilton. The accompanist for this year was Sally Bankson.

The council was the governing board for all the music groups. The sale of tickets for music department productions was under the direction of the Music Club Council. Mr. Jacobs was in charge of the organ students. These students played for all assemblies, school plays, and other school productions.

Nancy McFate was the manager of Girls' Ensemble. Girls' Chorus The melodious voices heard throughout the halls during sixth period belonged to the sophomore girls chosen for Girls' Chorus. This is the first step in the climb to become a member of A Cappella. Under the direction of Mr. Puleo, the group selected Sharon Depew, president, and Linda Comet, secretary.

Varied Melodies Entrance Audiences Band The band, under the supervision of Mr. Puleo, sparked the half-time shows during football season with the:r precision drills and lively songs. They also presented half-time shows for two of our four away games. These were at Titusville, our first game, and Franklin, our next to the last game. Pep meetings were another highlight of the football season for the students in the band. Here they assisted the cheerleaders with our three school songs and the Alma Mater, in addition to several pep cheers. For the past year the following officers were chosen by the band: Jerry Spangler, president; Helen King, secretary; and Doug Dinberg, student director. Section leaders were also chosen to keep order in each section. In the spring of the year this group displayed their talents to their parents on Band Night. This night's performance was achieved through constant advancement of the students in the band. This organization played a part in community affairs by participating in the Venango College Campus parade and the Memorial Day parade. District Band was held this year at Fairview High School on January 11, 12, and 13. From Senior High six students were chosen to represent the band. They were Doug Dinberg, Jerry Spangler, Dave Downing, Peggy Sayers, Verna Gage, and Jayne Kribbs. 117 Precision From Practice Majorettes Flashing batons and intricate routines were the outstanding features of the majorettes.

Other events to which this organization contributed its musical repertoire were Swing Out and various plays presented by the students. The annual band tour and an assembly program presented to both the junior and senior high school in February were important occasions. The twenty members of Swing Band who were under the expert direction of Mr. Puleo were selected from the school band for their musical ability and talent. The group chose a member of the senior class, Roger Hurt, to be student manager. 119 Watch the rhythm in the second measure, advises Mr. Puleo to Tom Perry, the drummer for the Swing Band.

The varsity squad, made up of three seniors, one junior, and two sophomores; and the junior varsity squad, made up of two juniors and four sophomores led the student body in support of our teams. They also conducted pep parades and pep meetings. Coached by Mrs. Samonsky, the cheerleaders practiced diligently after school, for they knew that practice makes perfect. Before the football season, cheerleaders were busy selling advertisements for the football programs which they sold at the games. 120 Practice makes perfect. Proof of this is shown by our excellent cheerleaders who give their time and effort to earn this reputation. Nancy McFate and Joyce Dempsey practice backbends. VARSITY CHEERLEADERS.

All freshman, sophomore, and junior girls are eligible, and these girls are trained by the senior cheerleaders. After the training period, twelve girls—judged for their ability, their scholastic record, their personal appearance, and their attendance—are chosen by members of the faculty. These girls begin practice before school starts in the fall in order to insure a successful season. 121 Newscasters Inform Public of Stage Force The stage force, under the supervision of Mr. Townley, handled this year's many and various assemblies capably.

ALTHOUGH WE ARE SORRY TO LEAVE SENIOR HIGH, WE REALIZE THAT THERE ARE NEW GOALS TO REACH—NEW WORLDS TO CONQUER. WE ARE CHALLENGED BY THE EVER CHANGING WORLD, AND THIS CHALLENGE MUST BE MET. THROUGH THE NEVER ENDING EFFORTS OF OUR FACULTY, WE HAVE BEEN PREPARED TO COPE WITH THE PROBLEMS OF THE FUTURE. WE ARE EXCEEDINGLY GRATEFUL FOR THEIR CONTINUOUS PATIENCE AND GUIDANCE. WE WOULD LIKE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE DEDICATION OF THE OIL CAN STAFF WHO GAVE OF ITS TIME AND TALENT TO MAKE THIS BOOK POSSIBLE. WE WOULD ESPECIALLY LIKE TO THANK OUR ADVISERS, MISS BELL AND MR. ALLEN, WHO GUIDED US WITH THEIR KNOWLEDGE AND ABILITY. AND SO FROM THE UNCERTAIN CONFINES OF ADOLESCENCE WE ARE LAUNCHED INTO THE VASTNESS OF ADULTHOOD AND OUR ROCKET BEGINS ITS FLIGHT.
