Penn Joint High School - Penn Point Yearbook (Claridge, PA)

Text from Pages 1 - 104 of the 1947 volume:

PENN TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL FOREWORD When we, the Yearbook Staff, undertook this publication, “The Penn Point,” we thought it would be interesting to show how the execution of the educational program of a school year is comparable to a movie program. Because of the many quite reasonable comparisons we have made in this edition between the high school educational program and that of a movie, we think you will agree that we are justified in referring to our annual, “The Penn Point” of ’47, as a movie of PTHS school life. p uiiimt die sg -sy£s BOARD OF DIRECTORS MR. ALONZA M. BARTON MR. M. M. BERLIN MR. ALEX DAVIDSON MR. SAMUEL J. GUY MR. CHARLES E. LAWTHER MR. ANTHONY MAURO MR. ANDY REGER 4 MR. QUENTIN KINTIGH Supervising Principal To this fine class of 1947, that arc now departing from the halls and familiar faces of their beloved Alma Mater, may I say, my only regret is I have not had time to know you better. The world will demand much of you, and often you will think it unfair. You must now earn your own living, and solve your own problems. May I ask, and explain briefly three questions which I hope will guide you properly in solving the problem of how to earn your living. The first question that you should ask yourself is: “What is there to do in the world?” In order to answer this question, you must survey the world of work. If you can afford it, the best wav is to see first-hand just how people earn their living. This being impossible, in many cases, the next best thing is to read and study what people do, and learn what requirements they must meet in their respective occupations. Books, newspapers, magazines, and your friends will help you answer this question. The second question is: “What can I do?” This question requires that you measure your own abilities, in terms of the world of work. If you arc not familiar with all of your abilities, subject yourself to various aptitude tests, work at various occupations, and find out whether or not you have the necessary ability. The third question is: “What can I do best? Naturally, you can do more than one thing, but it is what you can do best that reallv counts. There you will be happy, you will serve your fellowmcn best, and will be able to provide for those depending on you. G mmcnccment is not the end of your education, but the time to begin the use of it. An education is ability to do something, and do it efficiently. Find what you can do best. Quentin Kintigh MR.

PRACTICING FOR COUNTY CHORUS The chorus, first organized in 1939 by Mr. Robert Kunkle, grew in membership until it is now one of the largest active organizations of the school. As the conclusion of each term came, its record of success mounted. And the end of this term is no different. With a membership of ninety-six, and under the able direction of Miss Mary Penman, another successful year has been completed. Once more, as in years gone by, the chorus has reason to be proud of its record of achievements. An outstanding event of the year was the participation of several members in the County Chorus. Those who participated were: Jane Eaton, Doris Ross, Dolores Dugan, Henry Mayo, Tony Casagrandc, Clifford Ross, Jane Ann Fisher, Neal Mellon, Ralph Whitney, and Dorothy Deuel. Several additional honors were bestowed on two members of this organization. Dorothy Dugan, Fisher, Deuel, Miss Penman, Ross, Ross, Eaton, Mayo, Whitney, Mellon, Casagrande NOTHING TO SING Deuel was chosen as a member of the Western District Chorus. She sings in the soprano section. Jane Ann Fisher was awarded the first prize in an amateur hour sponsored by the Jeannette Lions Club. Throughout the year the chorus has made several appearances and held numerous affairs. The entire chorus supplied the musical background for the annual presentation of a “A Christmas Carol.” They also took part in the Commencement Program on May 20. Seniors who are leaving arc: Doris Ross, Jane Eaton, Dolores Dugan, Jane Ann Fisher, Norma Vinck, Mildred Haines, Celesta Petro, Nancy Ritson, Rubv Miller, Neal Mellon, Donald Espey, Ralph Whitney, Tonv Casa-grande, John Schwartz, Joe Me Cutcheon, Dorothy Gaiko, and Dorothy Deuel.

ALL TOGETHER? LET S GO Brinkcr, Blank, Garvis, Barton, Sauers The tap of Mr. Vonado’s baton calls our attention to a very large school organization. The band, consisting of fifty-five members, has experienced another year of trials and tribulations. Through all kinds of weather, their stout-hearted spirits accompanied them to the football games. With clever maneuvering, they presented drills between halves. Often their talented performances won the hearty applause of interested spectators. Besides their participation in games, they won awards for themselves in several community parades. In the Jeannette Halloween Parade, they received first prize for the best Junior Band represented. Second prize honors were bestowed on them in the Irwin Parade. On Armistice Day, the band members accepted an invitation to march in the annual parade at Grccnsburg. An outstanding event of the year was their appearance at the All-Star Football game between the Eastern and Western Teams. Our band marched with a number of bands representing the Western Team. Fortunately, the band will lose only one member. George Kistlcr, pounder of the bass drum, will hand over his drum stick to an underclassman. With this season closed, they can sit back and relax for awhile. They should be congratulated on a job well done. 30 ORCHESTRA Never let it be said Our school lacks jive, For this quartet Keeps it alive. Row Two: Painter, Connor. Row One: Turchan, Sauers. If you are a music lover, you will readily understand why the orchestra has been so appreciated by the students. Though this group is small, much has been expected of them. They provided music for the noon dances and several evening affairs. They have tried to keep together even though the majority of the orchestra was graduated last year. Greatly handicapped by this, the remaining four members vowed to continue the “Star-dusters. And they did. They practiced hard and spent long hours on new songs to please the students. They deserve high praise for their successful year. Small organizations usually have little success in their undertakings, but the orchestra had the faith and the “stick-to-itiveness” that are needed for success. At times, perhaps, they faltered, but not for long. They remembered the story of the spider spinning its web, and the proverb, “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. With this in mind, they continued to climb their ladder, and finally, after several attempts, reached their goal. They were small in number but great in success. Connor, Sauers, Painter, Turchan.

BickcrstafF, Miss George, Vinejt, Stankewich, Bohinee If you happen to walk into the Gym sometime and see a group of girls and boys acting as though they were walking on hot ashes, don’t be alarmed. They’re perfectly sane. It’s only the Social Dancing Club. Recently organized, this club presents many advantages to its members. Under the leadership of Miss Betty George, the Social Dancing Club is composed of all Seniors. This club ofFers an outlet for stored up energy. In this organization, members can learn ail kinds of dancing. Not only are they taught new dance steps, but often they present folk-dances in assembly. They try to encourage the student body to participate more freely in the noon dances. The young people of this club know that they will be able to step into their social life with confidence because they have been so expertly trained. YV'ith Miss George as their teacher, they certainly don’t have any need for Arthur Murray. Because of her patience, understanding, and love of dancing. Miss George endeavored to teach this group how good dancing can be an asset in their social life. Her success can only be determined in the years to come. Next year she plans to continue this club, but with a larger membership. She thinks that this can be done because so many students desire to become good social dancers. 34 ALPHA BETA GAMMA Open the windows And close the door; These kids just blew A hole in the floor. Row Three: .Mrs. Byers, Caldwell, Gilbert, Mellon, Ritson, Whitney. Row Two: Ritson, YVeightman, Fisher, Brown, Orr, Larson. Row One: Kohl, DeVal, Ashbaugh, Nixon, Painter, Schwartz. The Alpha Beta Gamma, under the supervision of Mrs. Sarah Byers, resumed their weekly meetings in the second semester. Every two weeks the members conduct experiments, thus increasing their knowledge of science and chemistry. In the accompanying picture, the students arc distilling water. By boiling a mixture of water plus potassium permanganate, the distillation of water can be clearly illustrated. The steam which evolves from the flask is diverted into a condenser where it is liquified. As each successive test tube of liquid is collected, the purple color of potassium permanganate gradually diminishes and finally disappears. This proves that distillation removes the impurities from H2O. Mrs. Byers has confessed that she has had a difficult time keeping her group under control. For, as is the nature of all scientists, the students arc inclined to be inquisitive and at times, the temptation to mix various compounds is overpowering. 1 loping to arouse the students' interest in Science, the members of the Alpha Beta Gamma sponsored a movie, “The Making of Glass.” It described in detail the processes of making glass into different things. Delving into the social life of the school, they held a dance for the entire student body. PURIFICATION OF H2O Schwartz, DeVal, Orr, Larson.

Mr. John Plischke Excerpts From The Fensivdian A LIVING MEMORIAL Fhc citizens of Penn Township have undertaken a worthwhile project in the proposed Penn Township Memorial Athletic Field. It is a commendable project both in the cause for which it is dedicated and in the use to which it will be put. The Memorial Athletic Field is to be dedicated to the memory of those men and women of our community who have given their lives in the service of our country. GOOD SUCCEEDS WYANT Mr. Henry W. Good was elected supervising principal of Penn Township Schools on June 3, 1946 to succeed the late J. Finley Wyant. He was born in Claridge, and attended the Claridge School. After graduating from Norwin High School, Mr. Good attended the University of Pittsburgh where he received the degrees of Bachelor of Arts and Master of Letters. 38 PACKING RED CROSS BOXES KINTIGH NEW SUPERVISING PRINCIPAL Mr. Quentin Kintigh has been elected supervising principal of Penn Township schools by the Board of Education to succeed Mr. Henry W. Good. Mr. Kintigh began his work here during the week of January 20, 1947. Mr. Good has returned as the supervising principal to Sewickley Township where he had previously served as principal under G. C. Gressman, who was recently appointed assistant county superintendent. Although Mr. Good was at Penn Township for only one semester, he accomplished a great deal, and became an inspiration for both teachers and pupils. FAMOUS JOURNALIST ADDRESSES ASSEMBLY Mr. Charles Wells, noted journalist and cartoonist, gave an interesting lecture on January 7, during the Assembly program in the auditorium. “If Humanity is to Survive, We Must Turn to Christianity” was Mr. Wells subject. The students were delighted by color cartoons drawn by Mr. Wells to illustrate his talk. Devotions were conducted bv Reverend Holmes. Jane Ann Fisher made a pleasing contribution bv singing several songs. A girls trio, composed of Doris Ross, Jane Eaton, and Dorothy Deuel, sang “I'll Sec You in My Dreams” and “Sentimental Journey.” RED CROSS The Junior Red Cross reports that approximately 30 gift boxes were sent overseas to children in war-torn Europe. The boxes contained such articles as soap, pencils, tooth brushes, tablets, pads of paper and small toys contributed by the students through Junior Red Cross representatives. The grade schools of Paintcrtown and Level Green together packed twenty-six boxes. THE PENN POINT PLANS ALUMNI SECTION In the past, our alumni have always responded enthusiastically to all school projects. They have supported our football and basketball games, our dances, and our dramatic productions. This year they were asked to participate in another project—that of helping the circulation campaign of the yearbook. Alumni response in this endeavor has been gratifying and has earned for them the thanks of the entire staff of The Penn Point. As a result, we expect to include an alumni section in our 1947 Penn Point. PENSINDIAN EXECUTIVE STAFF FIRE PATROL The Fire and Safety Patrol is charged with the responsibility of protecting the personnel and property of our school in case of an emergency. The membership is derived, in a large part, from the athletes of our student body. When the fire alarm sounds each Fire Patrol member performs assigned duties, usually at previously determined stations throughout the premises. SHOP RF OPENS The shop has been reopened this year under the supervision of Mr. Samuel Bohince. Boys from seventh to twelfth grades are enrolled in this subject. The boys arc instructed in mechanical drawing. CHRISTMAS BALL ATTRACTS LARGE CROWD The G. A. A. sponsored its annual Christmas Ball on December 18, 1946. The Alumni and their guests, as well as the students of the high school, danced to music furnished by Jack Lord’s orchestra. A tall Christmas tree at the far end of the gymnasium added to the colorful Yulctidc decorations. This year’s officers who helped to make the formal a success are Marilyn Wcightman, president; Jane Ann Fisher, vice-president; Julia Modar, secretary; and Jean Ashbaugh, treasurer. CURRICULUM CHANGES Shop, home economics, art, and music are now elective subjects for sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Previous to this year, these subjects were required of all students. Students were asked to take into consideration their talents best suited to each subject before deciding. GIRLS TO SEND CLOTHING TO EUROPE The girls in the senior home economics classes arc planning to make clothing to send to war-stricken areas of Europe. Thus, they arc helping in creating good will with other countries as well as helping people who arc desperately in need. The home economics girls have been practicing making clothing by making woolen things for their own wardrobes. 39 HOME ECONOMICS CLUB Come on, boys. You’ll bet your lives, Here arc the girls Who’ll make the best wives. Row Three: Slak, Walton, Miss Collie, Bloomquist, LaufTer. Row Two: Weightman, Ruffner, Sugcnt, Kelley, Ycskc. Row One: Bland, Baughman, Hostetler, Blank, Divens. SANTA’S HELPERS Bland, Slak, Miss Collie, Roscosky The Home Economics Club, which was recently started under the leadership of Miss Collie, is one of the most active clubs of the year. The members appointed Mary Lou Hostetler, president; Shirley Bloomquist, vice-president; Leona Bohincc, secretary; and Aleatha ftaughman, treasurer. I'he main ambition of the members is to make enough money with which to redecorate the living room of the Home Economics Department. During the month of September, the members took advantage of the remaining warm weather bv spending a week-end at a cabin in the Pennsylvania State Forest near Rector and having a hayride. At Christmas, this group displayed more of their talents in preparing a spaghetti supper. Their table decorations were a masterpiece of art, highlighting the holiday spirit. To add to this merry feast, they sprinkled the members’ names on colored Christmas tree bulbs and hid their fortunes inside. The group topped their other activitcs of the year with a Valentine Hop which was very successful despite the cold weather which prevailed. They worked in close contact with the Costume Club, another newly organized club, in preparation for various programs. Sometimes it was rather hard to distinguish between these two clubs. Their activities were designed along the same line. They were both under the same supervisor. In fact, several of the girls belonged to both the Costume and the Home Economics Clubs. The members of this club, through their close relationships, have profited both in recreation and experience. 40 COSTUME CLUB Programs, plays and other events Keep these girls quite active. Hemming, sewing, and taking in To fashion something attractive. Row Two: Mihalic, Hostetler, Miss Collie, Peters, Connor. Row One: Dcguffroy, Painter, Gongawarc, Kemerer. Another organization of great assistance to our school is the newlv-organized Costume Club. During the past year, the members have had many projects. Perhaps the greatest of all was their plan to help the Home Economics Club to redecorate the living room. They demonstrated their Christmas spirit by sending a box of cakes and cookies to Sonny Dungan. When the presentation of “A Christmas Carol” was given, these efficient lasses mended and altered the costumes used. They were kept busy pinning and sewing, a button here, a parch there. But they didn’t complain. Their irons skimmed over the ironing board removing tell-tale wrinkles from Scrooge’s bathrobe. Their experience in this club will be of great value in the future. They have touched upon many phases of home-decorating, costume designing, and Home Economics. Miss Collie, their supervisor, thinks that this group has been very active. She said, “Mv girls were enthusiastic and willing to cooperate, no matter what project was started. I am proud of this club.” When summer vacation starts, they are going to enjoy a rest at Camp Dues. Here they will do all the things that a well-planned vacation affords. The officers, elected for this year, were: Mary Alice Kemerer, president; Lois Painter, secretary; and Grace Dcguffroy, treasurer.

Row Two: Bland, Baughman, Nesbitt, Miller, Mellon, Mihalic, Krcelic. Row One: Miller, Painter, Gongaware, Kunkle, Crescenzo, Warren, Kiadnik “May I help you find a book?” This is the question so often heard when one enters the library. Open to the students for the first time, the library provides many opportunitiesfor them. Not only does it offer desirable leisure reading material, but it is an aid in securing references. The librarians keep the students up to date on all new literature. When needed, they aid Miss Bertolinc, head of the library. Efficient in their duties, these book lovers seek to maintain the pleasant and quiet atmosphere found in the library. The opening of the library was one of the worthy projects started by Mr. Good, our supervising principal during the first semester. ‘THAT’S AN INTERESTING BOOK” AN INTRIGUING SUBJECT FOR STUDY Lauffer, Miller, Kiadnik, Wigle, Garris, Brown, Modar Bland, Mellon, Roscoskv, Stover, Baughman 44 GIRLS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION Here arc the girls of the G.A.A.

Miss George, the sponsor of this athletically-inclined group, has gained special recognition by her tireless patience. She has devoted much of her time to teaching the girls the fundamentals of sports, and the ideals of good sportsmanship. Perhaps you have been in the gym and watched the girls play basket ball; if so, you know their grand reputation of sportsmanship, and possibly you sense their vitality and enthusiasm as they race across the gym floor. The Christmas Ball, an annual event, has been set aside as the gala occasion sponsored bv these ambitious girls. Serving this group as officers are: Marilyn Weightman, president; Jane Ann Fisher, vice-president; Julia Modar, secretary; and Jean Ashbaugh, treasurer. TIME OUT FOR ROMANCE LAST MINUTE INSTRUCTIONS Turchan, Modar, Stambol, Weightman, E. Ashbaugh, Mains, J. Ashbaugh, Morton 45 Fennell, Gongawarc, Miss George, Weightman, Dcguffrov, Ferguson MAJORETTES Quite a picture they make In their little white suits, With their gay charming smiles And high white boots. Row Two: Ruoff, DcgufTroy, Schmuck. Row One: Ross, Seslar, Baird. PRACTICING FOR NEXT YEAR Stepnick, Baloh, Seslar, Stephens, Painter It was at the half of the Ramsey game, the final one of the season. With batons twirling, six petite majorettes marched across the field to present a short drill for the fans. Their blue and white uniforms lent harmony to the surrounding scenery. Everyone was silent as the majorettes went through their clever presentation of “The Old Gray Mare” When it was over, they returned to their places amid the applause of the spectators. For the Seniors— Dolores Schmuck, Thelma Seslar, Doris Ross, and Marjory Ruoff— it was the last appearance. Not only were the majorettes active at pep meetings, but Mildred Baird, Dolores Schmuck, and Marjory Ruoff gave an excellent performance at the Christmas Ball. At the banquet of the teachers of Section Four, these girls won everyone’s applause. The spotlight shifts from these “old troopers” to their successors, pictured at the left, who arc ready to march into the spotlight for the next four years. 40 CHEERLEADERS Calm your nerves, And plug your ears, Here are the girls Who “give” with the cheers. Left to right: Miller, Shearer, Bittner, Raton, Stankewich, Stankcwich. Who helps to make the most noise in this school, and why do they? Naturally the cheerleaders do because it’s their job. This active group leads the students as they cheer the different teams on to victory. At times, you feel as though the walls will explode with the force of these shouts. But to these cheerleaders, it’s all in a day’s work. Like the majorettes and the band, they aid in boosting the team’s morale. They endeavor to keep order at games bv helping to suppress shouts that become too boisterous. The Senior members who are turning over their jobs to the newlv-choscn cheerleaders are: Captain, Betty Bittner; Jane Eaton, Betty Shearer, Mary Stankewich, Dolores Stankewich, and Ruby Miller. The junior and sophomore cheerleaders ready to take over arc: Jean Ferguson, Josephine Roscosky, Alcatha Baughman, Mary Alice Kcmcrcr, Patty Goss, and I.ois Painter. Let’s give out with fifteen rahs for these energetic little lasses.

They saw the completion of the Shop and Home Economics departments, auditorium, gymnasium, and cafeteria. They organized activities and edited the first paper, “The Blue and White Mirror.” In their Junior year they chose a class ring which has been the accepted ring of all the succeeding classes. To help finance the first edition of “The Penn Point,” the Seniors of ’40 gave the play, “Growing Pains.” Their pecuniary contributions to the school, given just before their graduation, totaled $138.87. The amount of $78.87 was given towards the purchase of a piano; $40 was spent for shrubbery; and $20 was donated to the alumni fund. After graduating with the Class of ’40, Samuel Bohincc continued his education at the State Teachers’ College of California, Pa., where he received his Bachelor of Science Degree in Industrial Arts and Physical Science. He then began his post graduate work at the Ohio State University. When war was declared, Mr. Bohincc served two years as Lieutenant (j.g.) in the U. S. Navy. Now that the war is over, Mr. Bohincc has returned to PTHS where he is now the instructor in the industrial arts class. High honor student and class president of 1940, Arthur Jacobs spent over three years as an engineer in the Army.

Records show that these students were quite active both in sports and social activities. In sequence to the previous year’s senior production, they gave the senior play, “Young April,” which was enjoyed immensely by the whole school. At Christmas time they assisted in the presentation of “A Christmas Carol” which has since become a yearly tradition at PTHS. Under the guidance of Mr. Wilson, the yearbook staff worked hard and produced the second edition of “The Penn Point.” Having earned money through their senior dramatics presentations and other projects, the Class of ’41 had $84.92 in the treasury when they were graduated. Of this, $33.36 was used in publishing “The Penn Point,” and $51.56 was spent in the purchase of shrubbery for the school grounds, grounds. Marguerite Divcns, who was graduated with the Class of '41, is now working at the Wcstinghousc Electric Cor-poration in East Pittsburgh, Pa.

Lucy Rogers Thomas Sandrick Their reputations already established by their participation in the events of previous years, the Crew of ’42 then stepped to the helm to steer the good ship “The Penn Point” through another successful year. Their dramatic presentation of “The Kid” offered entertainment for all, and the log which they kept of their last voyage shows evidence of much planning and perseverance. Of the money that had been saved in their final year at PTHS, Si5.15 was used to make up for a loss suffered during the publication of the yearbook. The remainder, $93.17, was donated toward the purchase of a movie projector. After a year’s post-graduate study at Wcstinghouse Memorial High School in Wilmcrding, Janet Whitney, PTHS graduate of ’42, entered Margaret Morrison Carnegie College. During her first year there, she became president of her class and a member of Kappa Phi National Sorority for Methodist College Women.

Vice-president Secretary _____ Treasurer Kenneth Maines .. Joseph Orris Shirley Dungan Kenneth Geiger In this merry group of seniors, the girls outnumbered the boys almost three to one. Because of critical wartime shortages in materials, it was thought, at first, that the production of “The Penn Point” would be impossible. However, late in the year, conditions improved and the class produced an annual, “The Seniorette,” in the form of a magazine. The title appropriately emphasized the predominance of the feminine clement in the class. After graduation in 1943, Paul Weightman worked on the turbine assembly line at the Elliot Company for one year. In June, 1944, he entered the Amiv and spent the next four months at Camp Hood in the Tank Destroyers. While on leave after basic training, he married Ella Mae Smith.

Paul, his wife, and daughter reside at R.D. 1, Jeannette, Pa. Their dramatics production, “A Ready Made Family,” found appreciative audiences for both performances, matinee and evening. As their senior term came to a close, these seniors gave S30, of what they had saved during the year, for French and English records. The S70 which remained was given to the movie fund. Eleanor Ashbaugh, graduate of ’43, is now employed as a draftsman at the Wcstinghouse Electric Corporation in East Pittsburgh, Pa.

John McClain Charlotte Wonders — Louise Zatezalo Robert McWilliams After eleven years of ceaseless striving to better themselves both scholastically and socially, the class of ’44 finally emerged as Seniors at PTHS. A sturdy and ambitious team, they proved their mettle when, despite the still pressing shortages of wartimes, they resumed the editing of “The Penn Point.” When they read the play, “The Haunted Chair,” they decided to produce it for the entertainment of the community as well as the student body. Money acquired through this project, and that accumulated in various other ways, amounted to a grand total of $100 when their final year terminated. Of this, $50 was used in the purchase of chorus robes. The remaining sum of $50 was contributed to the general fund.____________________ Audrey Siegfried, now training to be a nurse, was graduated with the Class of ’44.

With the return of many veterans, hopes ran high for a successful season. Fans could hardly be disappointed in the splendid record which our boys compiled. In the first game of the season the powerful Jeannette Javhawks defeated an outclassed, but fighting, Penn Township eleven, 38-15. A last quarter attack netted the Indians two touchdowns and a safety. This was the greatest number of points we ever scored against Jeannette. Still stunned by the defeat of the week before, the Indians traveled to East Deer where, after a stiff battle, they succumbed to a 20-7 score. Due to an open date, Tar Onder’s boys had two weeks in which to prepare for the game with undefeated Pitcairn. Displaying an aggressive brand of ball, the Indians outplayed Pitcairn throughout the entire game. An enthusiastic home crowd watched the townshippers run up a 13-0 lead before the Railroaders made their six points. Final score: Penn Township 13; Pitcairn 6. This was our first victory in two years. The Indians made it two consecutive victories as they downed the Mountaineers of Ligonier by a score of 20-0. The highlights of this game were long touchdown runs by Adam 'Zubaty and George Brown. Zubaty sprinted 70 yards in the first quarter, and Brown duplicated this feat in the third quarter. The next week the Indians were guests of the Trafford Tomahawks. Our boys proved too much for them and came home on the long end of a 35-6 score. Finding no real opposition in the I rafford boys, they ran up a 20-0 score by half time. The Tomahawks did not score until G ach Onder put in his junior varsity early in the fourth quarter. In turn, the JV’s came right back to add another six points as the game ended. In the second home game of the season, PI HS added another victory to its ever-mounting list of wins when they defeated a small but stubborn Youngwood team 33-6. After getting off to a slow start, our boys finally started to roll and soon had the situation well in hand. The second and third teams played most of the last half and held the Youngwood team to a lone score which came as the fourth quarter sarted. Gaining another step in their quest for the county GO BROWN GAINS YARDAGE AT TRAFFORD championship, the Indians, after a tough struggle, subdued'Bell Twp. The game was 60 minutes packed with thrills and excitement. Our boys drew blood first when they climaxed a 6o-yard drive early in the second quarter with a touchdown. Bell’s quick counter attack caught the Indians off guard and scored. At the end of the half, the score was 7-7. The winning margin was Zubaty’s plunge for the extra point after our second touchdown. When Bell scored in the waning minutes of the game, they failed to convert the extra point. The game ended 14-13 in favor of the Indians. In the final game of the regular football season, the Indians triumphed over the Ramsey Bobcats who were considered one of the strongest teams in the county. Playing inspired ball, our warriors electrified the crowd by scoring two touchdowns in the first Five minutes of play. George Brown had the crowd standing on their feet most of the game with his spectacular ball carrying and was credited with two touchdowns. His running mate, Adam Zubatv, chalked up another touchdown, giving Penn Township a decisive 19-7 victory. This wound up one of the best football seasons in the history of our school. Despite our fine record of six victories in Westmoreland County, Vernon High was awarded the county championship on the basis of their undefeated season. Some of our boys were given extra recognition by being picked for various All-Star teams. John Moser and James Kladnik were chosen to participate in the All-Star game at Jeannette. Adam Zubaty and James Kladnik won first string berths on the All-County Team, while Henry Moser and Roger Ondcr received positions on the second team. George Brown rated honorable mention. Besides achieving all of these honors, the Indians will be looking forward to a still better season next year when many of this year’s team will return for action.

With nine veteran cagers returning, they compiled an impressive record of league victories. In the initial game of the season, our boys tamed the Golden Eagles of South Huntingdon 26-20. The Rometomcn temporarily regained their stride by trouncing South Huntingdon 49-34, but went down to defeat twice before the onslaught of the Jeannette Jay-hawk quintet. Inaugurating our sectional play, the Township five pounded out a decisive victory over the visiting Export team. Kazlausky poured 21 points through the hoop as we triumphed 45-27. At Saltsburg, the following week, Penn Township gained an easy 41-17 victory. In our toughest first round battle, the Indians came from behind after trailing for three quarters to crush Avonmore’s bid for section supremacy. The final score was 32-18. Handicapped by playing on Trafford’s diminutive floor, the Indians were defeated 47-41. Opportunity for revenge came when the Blue and White defeated Sewickley Township, 36-34 in a thrilling home game. Our fourth league victor)' was tallied when Art Rometo’s sharpshooters piled up a total of 59 points to Franklin’s 33. In a contest marred by frequent fouling. Bob “Slim” Anderson paced his free-scoring mates with 12 points. In a benefit game for our Memorial Stadium Fund, our Alumni made use of their greater height and experience in edging our boys 38-37. The Townshippcrs upheld the faith of their followers as they took Bell Township in stride 41-31. Through the fine second half shooting of Kazlausky and Sauers, the home five added to the small lead they held at the half-way mark. Traveling to Export, the Indians handed the Orange and Black their fiirst home defeat in three years. A frenzied crowd watched the Export crew wilt before the Township’s devastating last quarter attack. Joe McCutcheon and Dick Rizzardi, our stellar guards, scored 14 and 11 points respectively. Most of these were made when the chips were down. Outscoring Saltsburg in every quarter, the Indians played under wraps, using the first string sparingly. The final count read 51-30. The mighty warriors of Penn Township clinched the Section Twenty-Two title by defeating Avonmore 35-26 on the latter’s home floor. A greatly improved team met the Trafford Tomahawks and this time had little trouble in gaining vengeance for a previous loss. The faculty proved to be feeble opponents as they went down to a 65-22 defeat. Handicapped with three varsity players on the injured list, our boys traveled to try to uphold an unblemished record inScction Twenty-Two. After trailing in the entire game, a last minute attack spearheaded by McCutcheon and Moser netted the Indians a 34-31 victory. With everything to gain and nothing to lose, the Franklin Township team made an inspired effort to hand the Indians their first league defeat. Still hampered by injuries, the Indians had but a slight lead at the half. The stubborn Longhorns, sensing an upset in the offing, trailed the league leaders by six points at the third quarter mark. The last quarter, however, was a different story. The game became a rout as the home team staged one of their usual last quarter rallies. Chuck Anderson hit the hoop for 11 points in our 49-36 victory. With a fine record of 15 wins and five losses, non-leagues, the Indians gained the honor of entering the WPIAL playoffs and the county tournaments. Extra credit should be given to the boys who played their last games for Penn Township. They are: Robert Anderson, Joe McCutcheon, Bill Kazlausky, Dick Sauers, and Dick Rizzardi. kSlim” Anderson “Jags” Rizzardi Kuzzic” Kazlausky Moe” McCutcheon 63 Buckets” Sauers JUNIOR VARSITY FOOTBALL Row Three: Warren, Busche, Brosius, Bochneak, Prady, Fisher, Morris, Kepple, Mahoy, Bickerstaff.

Led by the Varsity coach, Mr. Romcto, the “ten little Indians” displayed an aggressive brand of teamwork and a stout defense. Returning regulars were Glenn Kepple and Edward Slifkey, guards, and Jildous Hilty at forward. With these three boys forming the nucleus, Don Anderson took over at center and Andy Cianciotto rated the other forward position. Substitutes who saw almost as much action as the first team were Dave Tharp, Carl Roscosky, Cameron Fisher, Ernie Warren, Richard Prady, Paul Roscosky, and Don Gilbert. The highlight of the season was our Jayvees thrilling 21-19 victory over the little Jayhawks of Jeannette. The contest was not decided until the final seconds of the game when our Jayvees staved off Jeannette’s desperate attack. Sewickley seemed to hold a jinx over our Jayvees as they were the only team to defeat us twice. All of the boys gained valuable experience this year, and most of them will be fighting for Varsity berths next year.

CUTTING FOR A BASKET This year’s Varsity “P” Club is one of the biggest in the high school’s history. Henry Moser, a junior and three-year lctterman, was chosen president. His brother John carries the duties of vice-president. Robert Anderson, another three-year lctterman, was chosen secretary and James Kladnik, treasurer. The last three boys are seniors. One of the biggest projects of the club this year was helping to raise money for the new athletic stadium which is under construction at the present time. The stadium is to be called The Penn Township Memorial Stadium, in honor of the boys who served in the armed forces during the war. It is scheduled to be finished in time for football next year. This group is composed of 14 boys who have participated for the last time in high school sports. Nine underclassmen make up the rest of the club. The club was under the able leadership of our football and baseball coach. Tar Ondcr. (J(i BCrtCfiR. TOvJN (i!)
