JOHN H. LINTON Superintendent A chapter of our story included the ad- ministrators. They upheld the American public schools to stand as great well-springs of free- dom, equality, and self-government. ln his tenure here, Dr. Linton as an educator has exhibited many desirable traits in personality, philosophy, and character. His foremost in- terest was that public education supported the American way of life. Dr. Linton proved his ability to analyze and evaluate our ex- tensive school building program. Coping with increased enrollment and teacher shortages, considering and studying construction costs, and consulting with architects has occupied much of his time. His awareness of the excep- tional responsibilities in the educational world ' ' today has made him an outstanding leader in 2:5 2, his field. .1- Q BOARD OF EDUCATION Seated: Mr. John Beswarick, Mr. Walter J.

HOELZLE Assistant Superintendent Progressive in method and leadership, the assistant superintendent, Mr. Norman Hoelzle, has gained the respect of everyone. Charac- terized by his humor, energy, versatility, and dependability, he has accepted his duties connected with the supervision of the mainte- nance department and the elementary school program with enthusiasm and understanding. Dedicated to high principles in the educational field, Mr. Hoelzle found nothing too trouble- some or too difficult as long as it improved the education of Penn's youth. To him our public schools were a special instrument to keep our American traditions. An alumnus from Westminster College from which he secured his B.S. degree, Mr. Hoelzle obtained his M.A. degree from Duquesne University. SECRETARIES MRS. CLARA BRUNTON MRS.

Among some of the re- sults this year were the remodeling and reno- vating of some grade schools, the beautifying of playgrounds and gymnasiums, the enlarge- ment of the present junior high school, the building of a new elementary school and, of course, the erection of the 55,000,000 senior high school. These fully-equipped buildings did not appear as if by magic, but much study, planning, and time were the factors involved. The goal of the board was to give us, the future citizens, the best training pos- sible amid the most inspirational surrounding. The seven members of the Penn Hills School Board truly displayed vision and courage in meeting today's challenge of an expanding school program. i4dlmcIn ' ' an This well-liked person displayed many ad- mirable qualities-as a person, amicable and sensible, as an instructor, informative and enthusiastic, as an administrator, competent and versatile. Coming up from the ranks as teacher and principal of both elementary and secondary schools, he became Penn's first Director of Secondary Education, Curriculum, and Research. His keen educational interests have brought him to the State Department ot Public Instruction where he served as a con- sultant. Besides this, Dr. Kelley has taught classes for a number of years in the Graduate School of the University of Pittsburgh. Reading, home'shop woodworking, and antique collect- ing, comprised his leisure time activities. l f 3 Z SECRETARY MRS. ELIZABETH DEUERLEIN In conference with Dr Kelley were Pinky Keller and Bob Hildebrand DR. JOSEPH E. WHERRY Principal mwilss sex 5 DR. MATTHEW M. ALCORN Assistant Principal THEY EMPHASIZED THE SIGNIFICANCE OF CITIZENSHIP. Working to make Penn High a superior in- stitution of learning found Dr. Joseph Wherry at the helm. His insistence on a high standard of behavior and scholarship among students plus excellent teaching practices showed his concern for youth's vocational and personal welfare. Endeavoring to develop the society of tomorrow he set the pattern of our school days. Because of overbcrowded conditions, he tackled with vigor the problematic task of scheduling a two-session day. With a look into the future, however, Dr. Wherry stated: With the occupation of the new Penn Hills Senior High School, educational opportunities should be greatly enhanced-the split-schedule will be eliminated, new courses added to the cur- riculum, smaller classes set up, and physical facilities improved. MRS, ANNA LOUISE DATZ Our congratulations went to Dr. Alcorn who was awarded his D.Ed., December 17, l957. About the past and future status of schools he said: lt has been a privilege and an honor to have served as teacher, coach, counselor, and administrator at the original Penn Senior High School. As we proceed to our new build- ing, may we transfer the high quality of instruction, the pleasant pupil-teacher and interstaff relations, and the school loyalty that have been typical of the past. These personal qualities must, of necessity, combine with adequate supplies and equipment if we are to transform what now exists as a beautiful piece of architecture, into an eFFective institu- tion of learning.

ROBERT WALTERS MR ROBERT BEATTY Attendance Co-ordinator Director of Guidance GUIDANCE STIMULATED OUR THINKING Mr. Robert Walters, the attendance co- ordinator, earned his B.S., and M.Ed., at the Pennsylvania State University and University of Pittsburgh respectively. Besides the iob of improving school attendance, for the past eleven years he has been an assistant football coach. During his leisure time sports-minded Mr. Walters took an active part in Little League baseball. Last summer he occupied the posi- tion of manager of the Braves team. Golfing on the greens occasionally was his hobby. We admired Mr. Walters for his competency and altruistic manner. Patient, polite, soft-spoken, and helpful- characterized Mr. Robert Beatty, the director of guidance for Penn's secondary schools. For many students he laid the foundations for their future plans and dreams in addition to instilling in them good ideas and ideals. A conference appointment could be made with him at any hour in order to cope with their problems of scholarship, scheduling, credits, or personality. Mr. Beatty procured his B.S., from Indiana State Teachers College and his M.Ed., from the University of Pittsburgh. His home, family, and educational interests occu- pied the majority of his time after school hours. To Mr. Walters office students went to keep attend- ance records straight and to get tardy excuses. After the Kuder Preference test was completed by iuniors, Mr. Beatty visited classes to give advice about careers. dafu. s 5 f,,,f,,,,,f 46 Mr. Mewhirter and Mrs. Berg had numerous office visitors, both parents and students, to give advice con- cerning schedules and college courses. Besides serving as one of our guidance counselors, Mr. Mewhirter also was the assis- tant football and basketball coach. He re- ceived his B.A. degree from Bethany College and M.Ed. degree from the University of Pitts- burgh. All sports were his major interests after school time. Having received her A.B., and M.Ed., from the University of Pittsburgh, Mrs. Berg became our Dean of Girls and a guidance counselor. In her spare time she enioyed teaching music and visiting colleges, so that she might be bet- ter able to help us choose our future careers. Mr. James Golden, the director of pupil personnel, served as the mediator between the home and the school. His duties included investigating illegal absences or other attend- ance problems, and he dealt with these ac- cording tothe State law. Mr. Golden procured his M.A. degree from the University of Pittsburgh. MR. JAMES MEWHlRTER MRS. CATHERINE BAINE BERG MR.

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY ln looking backward over three years as a unified class, we ask ourselves this question: What kind of a class were we? As sopho- mores we were under the leadership of Joseph Grieco, James Slocum, Judy May, and Mar- lene Moogerman, with Mrs. Decker and Mr. Mousseau as sponsors. Enthusiastically we ioined clubs and par- ticipated in many athletic events. Our almost- perfect performance of The Happy Journey in the drama competition, under Mrs. Dunham, also gave us first place in the State Forensic Competition. We chose Joseph Tolerico and Marlene Moogerman as king and queen. As iuniors, we elected Jim Slocum president with Marlene Moogerman, Kathy Colaizzi, Vincent Del.iberto, and Pat Buhot as his assis- tants and were sponsored by Mrs. Decker and Mr. Volz. The special events were the Christ- mas Prom and the drama Cheaper By The Dozen. William McGee and Judy May be- came our king and queen. For our class colors we selected red and white, for our flower, the white carnation. As seniors we were proud of our record. The magazine campaign brought a grand total of 3520,055.60, this amount exceeding all other classes in Penn's history. We presented the play Mr. Barry's Etchings, successfully with Mr. Edward Teichert's aid. As the last graduating class from Penn High School, we will long remember the wonderful and profit- able years spent here. What kind of a class were we? We answer the question thus: We think we accomplished much. Now follow a senior's day through the candid pictures on the senior pages.

EXPECTED TO BE THE FIRST CLASS FROM THE NEW PENN HILLS HIGH THE CLASS OF 1959 Only time will tell it we as a class can surpass the standards set by our predecessors. But with the words Study the past if you would divine the future sounding in our ears, the Class of 1959 has set a high goal. Realiz- ing that we will be the first graduating class from the new Penn Hills High School, our task was to inaugurate a precedent for future classes. We began by building class spirit, by informing our members of the various school projects, by co-operating with the administra- tors, and by preparing for the responsibility which will be ours as seniors. We took as o'ur motto- Of all the classes down the line, we're the best, we're '59. Gold and white, our colors, and a white rose, our tiower, became the symbols of our class. On December 20, 1957, we danced to the strains of our own Dance Band near the angel at the Heavenly Holiday. Directed by Mrs. Mildred Dunham, on March 7, 1958, we successfully staged the drama Antic Spring by Robert Nail. Besides this, our part in the Drama Cam- petition, cannot be underrated. On April 17- 18, 1958, we also presented the class play, The Night of January 16, by Ayn Rand.

EARLY ADJUSTED THEMSELVES TO SENIOR HIGH LIFE THE CLASS OF T960 Never before in Penn's history had there been a class so large that its students had to come directly from the buses to the auditorium for their homeroom period, Here under the supervision of Mr. Robert Walters was the time for orientation and devotions. Helping to increase the school spirit at pep rallies, this class launched its first social function. Under the direction of the Sophomore Board and the sponsors, Mrs. Comenetz and Mr. Starsnic, the Winter Wonderland dance, held December 13, 1957, proved to be a huge success. They honored Dan Girdano and Sandy Eagen by electing them class king and queen. Pat Kress, Sue Wherry, Sam Murrow and Neil Shorthouse were members of the royal court. In the Drama Competition their play Sugar and Spice by Florence Ryerson and Colin Clements and directed by Mr. Spirrizzi re- ceived recognition. Their showing in these activities, including participation in the Girls' Chorus Christmas program and the boys interest in sports, added much to make this school term a good one. x OFFICERS President .,.,,, , ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, , Neil Shorthouse Vice President , ,,,,,, W Gary Hoffman Secretory ..... ..,,,, J eannie Shockey Treasurer ,, , Ralph Hoover Hoover, Hoftman, Shorthouse, Shockey.

What were the advantages and dis- advantages to belong to this group? First of all, this group through concentrated thought, time and overtime, and much effort made a constructed dummy come alive in order to produce a book of superior quality. This involved guidance from our sponsor, Miss Marie Stoehr, and certain knowledge in the fields of journalism, art, and photography. We had problems galore too-the most prominent ones were to keep the secrets of the book, to find space to keep our material, to get sopho- mores to buy the Seneca so early in the school term, and to get enough persons to stay two periods daily. We, however, derived satisfac- tion from all our work. Mr. Miller headed the business statt and with his assistants organ- ized the campaign for the subscription drive. A trip to General Press in Tarentum gave us a better insight in the production of an annual. With the i956 and 1957 books re- ceiving first place awards from the National Scholastic Press Association and the Columbia Scholastic Press Association, we were obli- gated and inspired to perfect this, the 1958 Seneca.

TOLD THE BI-MONTHLY STORY OF THE SCHOOL To have the student body look forward to receiving each copy of Penn Points, our school newspaper, was the job of the staff and their sponsor, Mr. Walter McLeister. Efficient re- porters searched for news concerning sports, social events, outstanding student achieve- ments, and club news. ln addition to the regular issues, five special issues were pub- lished-two play specials, publicizing the junior and senior class plays, a Christmas issue, full of holiday spirit, and a senior edition, giving the highlights of the senior year. At the Coronation Dance, a popular annual fall event, the class kings and queens were crowned by the staff. Members of this hard working group gained experience in writing and publishing. Membership to Quill and Scroll was awarded to those who did exceptional writing. The old slogan- Penn points with pride to Penn Points -was an acceptable one.

EVALUATED THE NEEDS OF ALL THEIR FELLOW-STUDENTS. A vital link in our school story was the Student Council, headed by competent Jim Slocum and elfectively sponsored by our busy assistant principal, Dr. Matthew Alcorn. Be- sides these, this governing body was com- prised of the officers, ten standing committee members, and forty-four homeroom represen- tatives who acted as a communication medium for their particular homerooms. At the meet- ings, numerous current problems were dis- cussed and disposed of. When definite answers were reached, the messengers reported them to the homeroom. Then, too, the Council had many activities. They arranged and financed informative assembly programs, handled the refreshment stand during home football games, managed the tenth grade orientation program, encouraged all school activities, and published the Student Handbook. This group made an honest effort to perform their many duties for the glory and honor of the school.

To help Miss Smith, head librarian, Mrs. Walsh, assistant librarian, and Miss Fowkes, library secretary, were student assistants- some hoping to become future librarians. This group learned the procedures of library operation by doing such tasks as dusting, shelving, repairing, sorting, shellacking, or circulating books. Also, they arranged and dis- played new books or cleverly decorated the library bulletin boards. Finding sources for students, who had to give reports or write research themes was a major duty of an assistant. ln addition to this, they brought vocational pamphlets or magazines from the stocks to a student wishing to do extensive reading to broaden his outlook, to give him on cultural background, or to teach him to make use of his leisure time. A year of enjoyment in serving others was brought to a close with an annual tea to honor senior members.

Neatness in the library was an understood fact. Linda Penney put a reference book back on the shelf where it belonged. Patricia Fowkes, 1957 Penn graduate, acted as cata- loger and library typist. Among the stacks of old magazines, Betty Ross hunt- ed for material for a his- tory report. The student assistants, Dar- lene Matter and Jan Dorri- cott, were taught to place clippings in the vertical tile. My To gain actual library experience, to learn to meet the public and to find pleasure in doing, were a few reasons for students from all classes volunteering for library service.

This club renders a tremendous service to the school. After a year's study of commercial subjects, the seniors were encouraged to study the new developments in the business world, to become business-minded and social-minded, and to learn to appreciate the value of good business ethics. At all times the daily classes assumed a business atmosphere. Mrs. Harriet Naser, the sponsor, placed the senior members of the club in a secretarial environment by assigning a student secretary to a teacher. This experience gave them more knowledge in dealing with adults and showed them their own weaknesses or strengths in doing a job. Their activities included field trips, visiting such firms as the Heinz Company, the Mellon Bank, and the United States Steel Company to acquaint them to a business atmosphere. The year's end was highlighted with a ban- quet for alumni and club members and by the selection of Penn's Ideal Secretary.

BROUGHT VISUAL AND AUDIO AIDS INTO EACH CLASSROOM. Another service club was the Projection Club, a unique organization without officers or dues. But this fact did not effect the ac- complishments or abilities of its members. Sponsored by Miss Mae Pierce, the film li- brarian, the club had one of its forty-five members in each class in order to eliminate absenteeism from classes. Any sophomore, junior, or senior who wanted to spend con- siderable time in learning to operate all types of projectors and who wished to be respon- sible for valuable equipment could belong to the club. Needless to say, these willing mem- bers through their eFForts brought both enjoy- ment and knowledge to the students of Penn High. Threading the projector, splicing film, cleaning machines, carrying and safely storing all equipment were a few of their jobs.

Sixty-nine persons met with these requirements and were inducted into the organization during an impressive candle- light service at assembly with parents at- tending. The society's first speaker, Dr. Donald Spencer, challenged and thrilled everyone with his message. Their activities included selling refreshments at the senior class play and holding the annual banquet during the Christmas season at which time alumni related facts about their colleges. Co-sponsored by Mrs. Betty Ziegler, Mr. Charles Hemphill, and Mr. Julius Spizzirri, their chief proiect was giving a scholarship to a worthy person de- siring to enter college.

At their meetings they carefully dis- cussed and evaluated problems or difficulties encountered in club activity. They eliminated inactive clubs, reactivated others, and made all presidents submit revised constitutions. Putting all these things into effect were Mrs. Betty Beadling, director of activities, and James Slocum, Student Council president. To finance and present awards-Activity Oscars -to students outstanding in school activities was the club's chief responsibility. Mrs. Beadling gave advice to the two Hi-Y presi- dents, Jay Roy and Larry Wikman.

To accomplish this, they visited different hospitals, heard interest- ing speakers, saw informative films, and learned by exchanging ideas on problems in nursing. The club members served the com- munity by making favors for hospital patients and generously doing other volunteer work. Moreover, these girls, our future women in white, advised by Miss JoAnne White, had to maintain a high standard of scholarship here. FUTURE HOMEMAKERS CLUB To stimulate an interest in homemaking among girls was the primary purpose of having a Future Homemakers of America Club affiliated with the national organization. Gaining exceptional skills in cooking, sewing, child care, and homemaking duties were some of their main interests. The latter skills were exhibited at the annual Christmas tea held for the office force, faculty, and adminis- trators. Furthermore, the members, sponsored by Mrs. Virginia Cramer, learned about family- community relationships. To extend interest in homemaking, delegates went to the regional F.H.A. meeting held in Pittsburgh and to the state conference. F.T.A. OFFICERS Bottom: Hagan, Blanck, Mettrick.

Haines Future Teachers Club, advised by Miss Marie Stoehr, strived to in- spire seniors and iuniors to enter the re- warding profession of teaching and to help partially prepare them for such a career. This was accomplished by having panel discus- sions, by listening to prominent speakers and specialists, and by studying about eminent educators. Field trips took them to district meetings, schools, and colleges to get specific information. Teaching or observing 'four days in the township's school system highlighted their activities. Among their projects were watching handicapped children, forming other clubs, and having bake sales to finance dele- gates attending the state convention.

LZSCIFMI s ,. .1 -- cial ADDED INTEREST AND VARIETY TO OUR SCHOOL DAYS. SPECIAL CLUBS The Historical Society induced history stu- dents with above average grades to contribute material of various kinds to the department, to make field trips to historic spots, and to complete projects. The purpose was to gain a better knowledge and understanding of his- tory. Mr. Bond, originator, and Mr. Hemphill sponsored this club. The Seneca and Penn Points representatives did a tremendous job in doing the clerical work tor and in distributing the yearbook and newspaper. The Boosters promoted school spirit and sponsored buses to 'Football and basketball games, receiving awards if mem- bers made a sufficient contribution. Any junior or senior with a biology credit was eligible to join the Biology Club. The I cIub's objective, as outlined by sponsor, Mr. John Pancella, was to further a student's knowledge in nature study. To do this, nature movies, field trips to places of natural history, and guest speakers were on their agenda. Wearing red and yellow arm bands, the boys belonging to Hall Patrol rendered ser- vices every day. By keeping traffic moving quickly during the change of classes, by assist- ing with tire drills, and by directing new students and visitors within the building, they maintained excellent order. Dr. Matthew Al- corn sponsored the boys. The Deb Club was composed of seniors who were the Sub Debs in their junior year. They sponsored gracious living.

Led by Mrs. Jeannie Cross, this two-year old club imbued its mem- bers with a zeal for helping those less for- tunate than themselves. One of their proiects this year was a 2000 book collection sent to the Pittsburgh Chapter for distribution. Their visitations included orphanages, hospitals, and homes for retarded children. Affiliated with the Pittsburgh Red Cross Chapter, the club has made wonderful progress toward making this world a better place in which to live.

INDUCED STUDENTS TO EXPRESS IDEAS QUICKLY. This club was instituted for the purpose of promoting the students of Penn High in public speaking. It helped them express ideas clearly, think quickly, and developed self-confidence. The members traveled around Western Pennsylvania participating in various speech activities such as debates, extemporaneous speaking, orations, declamations, and student Congresses. In this way they earned points and degrees, the highest of which was the Degree of Excellency. This year R.-N.F.L. sponsored a contest on What Local Elections Mean to Me. Three first prizes were awarded in addition to a grand prize. This contest took the place of the mock election, which was usually held each year. Traveling to various districts, meeting new people, making friends, and developing character made it worthwhile to belong to R.-N.F.L.

PROVIDED LAUGHS, THRILLS, AND EXCITEMENT On March 8, 1957, Cue and Curtain pre- sented the annual drama competition in the Penn High School auditorium. The three one- act plays were truly a fine evening's enter- tainment. The winning production, The Monkey's Paw by W. W. Jacobs and Louis Parker, was superbly presented by the Seniors of 1957. Mr. White Clfrnest Keehnlej, Mrs. White fDoris Brysonj, and their son Herbert fKen Riceb, were granted three wishes by the magic of a monkey's paw. The acting of Ben Elisco and Norman Eddings added greatly to the tragic story ot how the three wishes brought no joy, but only heartache and misery. The Trysting Place by Booth Tarkington, the Juniors' presentation, was an enioyable comedy concerned with the secret meetings of several pairs of lovers in a hotel lobby. The secrets were not secret for long, however, and the ending was a delightful surprise. The talented cast included Linda Leech, Richard Averell, Laura Eldridge, Myrna Fazi, Vance Meanor, William Sutter, and Robert Beck. The Sophomore class presented The High Window, an engrossing mystery by Verne Powers. Formed around the window where Mr. Warren Winthrop had been killed a year before, the play involved his widow, Mrs. Emily Winthrop QCarole Crothersj, Judge Stephen Craig CRoy Rabatinb, Judith Ware, Emily's secretary and nurse CNancy Humph- reysj, newspaper reporter Linda Norton Uean Mettrickj, and Emily's nephew, Walter Hodge CGeorge Hamiltonj. of The Monkey's Paw.

ENCOURAGED ACTING ABILITY AMONG YOUNG THESPIANS To develop poise and self confidence in its members was the chief aim of the Cue and Curtain, the dramatic club. lt aspired to bring out their acting qualities through sponsoring a yearly Drama Competition among the senior, junior, and sophomore classes and by having members attend current productions in the Pittsburgh Playhouse. To qualify for membership a student had to be a senior or junior and had to memorize sixteen lines of prose or poetry for tryouts. If a student had acted in class plays, however, he automatic- ally became eligible for membership. Mr. Edward Teichert capably directed and brought out their talent. THE HAPPY JOURNEY received first place in the State Forensic Competition. Here Esther Eldridge, William Whirl, John Stedeford, Myrna Fazi, and Nancy Snyder enioyed the experience. I A small but eFficient stage crew were Dale Porter, leon- ard Esch, Robert Aber, and Carl Angotti. Bob Aber had the privilege of demonstrating to Rich Rutkowski, Joanne Smetek, and Betty Hess how quickly chairs could be stacked by the stage crew. Patti Flach got first hand information about stage crew work from sponsor Mr. Robert Carpenter and Carl Angotti. e deem OUR UNSUNG HEROES BEHIND THE SCENES Although few in number, the Stage Crew had an all-year job which they did quietly and diligently. Under the expert supervision of shop instructor, Mr. Robert Carpenter, the boys' tasks consisted of preparing thestage for assemblies, P.T.A. meetings, concerts, play productions, and setting the stage for the crowning of the class kings and queens. Moving pianos, placing risers, taking them down, carrying chairs, being responsible for lighting eltects were hard jobs. The attitude and work of the crew cannot be under- estimated.

FRENCH CLUB Under the able sponsorship of Mrs. Elaine McKelvey, the French Club played a vital role among the French students. To make the language course more effective and interest- ing, the members conversed only in French. They attended French movies, too, at the Squirrel Hill cinema. Among their activities they featured their annual Sidewalk Cafe on the auditorium patio. With the money received from this affair, the club helped to decorate the language suite in the new Penn Hills Senior High School. At the Christmas season they made Penn's corridors more lively with their colorful Christmas posters. Mexican arts and crafts. SPANISH CLUB Senores and senoritas from the Spanish Il classes combined to form the Spanish Club under the sponsorship of Miss Phil Massarelli. Their aim was to achieve greater conversa- tional ability and to gain better reading skills. Once a month each member received and read a Spanish newspaper, la Luz, which contained interesting articles and stories. A pinata party, showing an old Spanish custom at the Christmas season, gave the club additional information of that festive celebra- tion. This year a committee from each class shaped the pinatas like a guitar and sombrero and filled it with gifts for everyone, the pinata was then broken in the manner and true spirit of the Mexican people.

Also having a part in help- ing were Brenda Tillman and Sandy Cook, student directors, Patricia Buhot, pianist, and Laurel Stewart, organist. The harmony, precision, and cadence of the chorus gave many enioyable perform- ances. Presenting a religious anthem was part of the devotions of each assembly, instilling in us the spirit of worship. The choruses also showed their ability at the Christmas and Easter programs. Besides presenting carols, secular Christmas selections, and portions of Cantatas, the junior-senior chorus gave a lively rendition of The Night Before Christmas this year. Talented students were given an oppor- tunity not only to sing as a unit but also to do solo or ensemble work at the Spring Music Festival. Representing Penn at the District and County Choruses were Brenda Tillman, Myrna Fazi, Carolyn Cleland, Jerry Henderson, and JeFfrey Weisz. The iunior-senior chorus met the seventh period.

JOHN FRENCHY FISHER Student Director 77ia46c Anyone who had musical ability and who had a successful tryout under the supervision of the director, Mr. Fred Williams, and the band committee could join the band. At half- time ceremonies at each football game, at pep rallies, assemblies, and concerts, the band always gave a magnificent performance. Sell- ing milk chocolate candy bars and having concerts gave them sufficient funds to pur- chase music, instruments, and equipment. Other music organizations available to serious-minded music lovers were the or- chestra, of which the string ensemble was a part, and the dance bands. The orchestra, ver- satile in style, offered musical entertainment to sophomore devotions and all class plays. Barbara Fritsche from the orchestra was sent to the State Band. The Penn High Dance Band provided music for the schooI's social functions such as the Coronation Ball, Heavenly Holi- day, and the Junior Prom. For the Junior Achievement Dances at the Sherwin Hotel, Pittsburgh, this organization's sweet notes were heard on Thanksgiving and St. Valen- tine's Day. All of these groups offered students a thorough background for a future vocation in the music field. BAND LIBRARIANS Hodil, Renton, Somerhalder, Patrias.

During almost any day of football season, especially on Monday nights, the band, under the direction of Mr. Fred Williams, could be heard practicing their memorized strains of music. Up and down the field they tramped until their routines were ready for the next football game. The marching band performed at Forbes Field for the annual Shrine football game. During concert season they gave their annual Jazz and Spring Concerts. The band also en- tered the Forensic League Musical Competi- tions. Getting superior ratings at both the County Competitions at North Versailles and District Competition at California State Teach- ers College, they won the same title at the State Competition at Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. On the return trip from Bethlehem they were privileged to play in the State Capitol at Harrisburg. How proud we were to have the band become state champions. Because of this vic- tory, the members received the long-awaited, new red and white uniforms.

RHYTHMETTES Marching with the band were thirty-two rhythmettes clad in red and white uniforms. To obtain membership in this club, each can- didate had to be tested and judged on her physical appearance, marching ability, and alertness. Their primary purpose was to enter- tain at the gay half-time festivities of all football games with dance steps and march- ing techniques. ln addition to this, they have become an integral part of Penn's Variety Club and frequently have performed at various community affairs. Advised and trained by Miss Ruth Kronenwetter, they will long re- member their captain and leader, Carolyn Dira. MAJORETTES Woven into our story of the year was the performance of the maiorettes wearing their white and gold uniforms. Led by their captain, Estelle Murray, with fast-flashing, twirling batons under brilliant lights, they strutted to the lively music of the band at half-time inter- mission at each football game. Their unforget- table routines brought both pride and enjoy- ment to the spectators and to the sponsor, Miss Kronenwetter. Further opportunity to demonstrate their skill was at parades and pep meetings. But highlighting these, they matched their skills with other twirlers at the maiorette clinic at Point Park, Pittsburgh, and at the annual contest for maiorettes at Kenny- wood Park. A wine Zkzaa On the night of November 22, 1957, the Penn High auditorium was packed with people waiting to see the three act, senior class play, Mr. Barry's Etchings, written by Mr. Walter Bullock and Daniel Archer and directed by Mr. Edward Teichert. Living with his sister, Mrs. Taylor CLaura Eldridgel and niece, Evelyn fFiona Hendersonj, Judson Barry fRichard Averelll made artistic etchings of pictures and for fun, money plates. When Fifty Ferris CCarolyn Diral and Saw- buck Sam CPete Spaderol found out about the expert fob of counterfeiting Mr. Barry had accomplished, fireworks began. In the midst of everything, two Federal investigators, Tom Crosby CRobert Beckl and Daisy QGrace Hertelj came to town posing as reporters for the town's Sesqui-Centennial. Evelyn, forgetting about the stuffed shirt Marvin Pritchard CWiI- liam Sutterl fell for the handsome, supposedly newspaperman. ln the end Judson Barry has Mr. Barry lRich Averelll and his sister Bess flaura Eldrldgel gave their opinions of the Griswolcls to Marvin IBIII Sutterl a movie contract otqered to him from Kenneth Plunkett Nance Meanorl.

Both did a superb characterization of these roles. CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN A three act comedy, Cheaper By the Dozen, was presented by the class of T958 on May 3, 1957. The play revolves around the Gilbreth family and some of their acquaint- ances. Mr. Gilbreth fBill Whirlj was a time- study expert and was therefore always trying to save time around his household. To keep things going smoothly Mr. Gilbreth would cmdafz 66444 Zag have assembly call several times a day.

Fol- lowing were ties with Latrobe and Mount Lebanon, eliminating all three from WPIAL competition. After a tie with Shaler, the third in a row, Penn went on to edge West View in a high scoring game, 25-20. On the following Friday, the gridders lost a heartbreaker to undefeated and untied Wilkinsburg by a score of 6-O. On a mud-covered field the team held the Wilkinsburgers scoreless most of the game only to see them score with less than a minute left in the first half for the only score of the day. Assisting Mr. Nemec in the coaching duties were: Bucky Walters, end coach, Chuck Mc- Ginley, backfield coach, Lou Rossi, line coach, and Dutch Elicker and Jim Mewhirter, Junior Varsity coaches. Although losses due to graduation are not overly high, Mr. Nemec is losing the following capable senior gridders: Jim Ruane, deceptive quarterback, Joe Grieco, hard driving full- back, Henry Zitelli and Mike Dougher, speedy ends, and sturdy linemen, Lou Cardamone, Carl Stifter, Bob Williams, and Tony Morell, With many returning stars such as Bob Bell, Clarence Schrecengost, Jack Kumer, Ralph Heck, Jim Morrow, Larry Wikman, and Bruce Linhart, to fill the gaps, Mr. Nemec can look forward to a highly successful season next year as Penn High's team members, which consisted of mostly iuniors this year, become seniors with more size and experience next year.

A letter is worth ten points ancl a numeral five points.

Also the team needed the football managers on the gridiron to bring them comfort and in the field house to care for equipment.

The lndians finished second, losing to Central Catholic after having edged Elizabeth-Forward by a score of 53-48. They received a trophy for their accomplish- ments. In another exhibition contest, the faculty continued their reign over the varsity with another victory this year. In league competition, Penn placed sixth in Section Seven with a record of four wins and eight losses. The boys beat Rankin twice, split with Turtle Creek and Swissvale, and lost two to Scott, Braddock, and Wilkinsburg. The team was directed by Mel Munson with Jim Mewhirter assisting him. Losses due to graduation were not overly heavy, although the squad did lose Bill Patterson, Dave Burkett, and Jim Ruane, who gave two years of varsity service. Also lost were Henry Zitelli and Ed Pottmeyer, who often came in handy over the past year. Hoping to fill the gap are such upcoming players as Clarence Schrecengost, Jim Morrow, Bob Bell, and Rich Card. High scorer for the season was Bill Patterson, a deadly player on a jump shot.
