Text from Pages 1 - 92 of the 1950 volume:

THE PENN TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL WESTMORELAND COUNTY CLARIDGE, PA. Foreword “WE TIIE PEOPLES OF THE UNITED NATIONS Determined To save succeeding generations from the scourge of war . . . To reaffirm faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person, in the equal rights of men and women and of nations large and small, and To establish conditions under which justice and respect for the obligations arising from treaties and other sources of international law can be maintained, and To promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom . . . Have resolved to combine our efforts to accomplish these aims . . . and do hereby establish an international organization to be known as the United Nations.” Because the United Nations has a direct effect upon our lives; because it is the greatest influence for peace in the world of today; and because our school is really a miniature world with its population composed of many nationalities having a wide range of needs, abilities, interests, and ambitions; We, the Class of 1950, have decided to adapt some phases of the United Nations as the framework of our yearbook. Hoping that you will find the result of our efforts both profitable and entertaining, we submit this issue of The Penn Point for your enjoyment and approval. 2 ENTRANCE TO HEADQUARTERS Directory Page Foreword............................................................... 2 Entrance to Headquarters............................................... 3 Directory.............................................................. 4 Department of Public Information—Administration........................ 5 Trusteeship Council—Board of Directors............................. 6 Department of Study and Teaching—Faculty........................... 7 Commissions........................................................... 10 Atomic Energy Commission—Seniors....................................... 11 Distinguished Delegates................................................ 21 Social Activities for Peace Prom.............................................................. 22 Snowball........................................................... 24 May Day........................................................... 26 Delegates from Distant Lands.......................................... 28 Alma Mater............................................................ 30 Assemblies—Classes..................................................... 31 Alternates—Juniors................................................ 32 Interpreters—Sophomores........................................... 33 Publicity Directors—Freshmen...................................... 34 Apprentices—Eighth Grade........................................... 35 Sightseers—Seventh Grade.......................................... 36 Honor Roll............................................................ 37 Glimpses of Life at Headquarters...................................... 38 Economic and Social Councils—Clubs.................................... 39 Secretariat............................................................ 51 Publications Pensindian........................................................ 52 The Penn Point.................................................... 53 The Power of Veto............................................. 53 Dramatic Moments...................................................... 54 ‘‘Physical Fitness is an International Asset”......................... 55 Football.......................................................... 56 Basketball........................................................ 60 Sports Snaps...................................................... 62 Commissions to Promote Physical Fitness Cheerleaders...................................................... 66 Varsity P......................................................... 64 G.A.A.............................................................. 65 Informal Moments...................................................... 66 Pure Foods Commission................................................. 67 Off Guard............................................................. 72 Advertisements......................................................... 73 4 TRUSTEESHIP COUNCIL By choosing these men to promote the advancement of education and to develop self-government, the public has organized a trusteeship system in our community.

The Alternates spent the greatest part of their year planning for and anticipating one wonderful night! Feverishly they made plans and diligently carried them out. The first problem was choosing a theme. For days the committee in charge worried and tore at their hair. Then, an inspiration at last! Eagerly they began planning their decorations around a “Southern Plantation.” But the planning was only the beginning. There followed days of labor. While the actual work was in progress, the girls anxiously waited for that “certain someone” to ask the big question; the boys bashfully approached and then drew back. Finally the waiting and planning and working were over. The big day of the prom had arrived! The huge gymnasium was a masterpiece with its slave cabins and beautiful gardens. Actual slaves toiled in the fields. Lee Kelton’s orchestra provided appropriate background music. The chairmen of the various committees were: Bob Evans and Sylvia Hague, decorating; Otha Fink, Orchestra; Carmella Cioffi, tickets and programs; and Shirley Bohince, refreshments. Under the supervision of their class adviser, Mr. Kuznik, the Alternates created, that night, a memory of lasting beauty in the minds of the departing delegates.

This ambitious assemblage worked throughout the year to prove to themselves, and to their teachers, that they were capable of interpreting to advantage their store of knowledge. The challenge of both the assembly halls and the sports fields were accepted by this aggressive body. Their success wasn’t the result of one day’s work. There were problems to overcome and more than once they were ready to give up. But despite the many obstacles in their path, they have proved their worth. Early in the year, they elected George Modar as their president. Assisting him were Wilbert Jackson, vice president; Victor Rabbits, treasurer; and Daniel Rudy, secretary. The officers with Mr. McCullough to advise them, did a good job of guiding the Interpreters safely through the year. We believe that the group will continue to use their knowledge as a tool for the betterment of mankind, and that they will, in the future, not only interpret their accumulated knowledge, but constantly seek more, for knowledge is a “jewel” for which it is well worth fighting.

Upon their arrival at this noble institutuion of learning, a group of small, bewildered, but not less eager viewers began a tour of inspection. At first, they were very much impressed and saw only vague, blurred images. Then, as the novelty began wearing off, they became aware of the reality of their surroundings. Buildings, assembly rooms, campus, and faces took on form and shape. Gradually the newcomers became alive and animated. They took an interest in their studies and at the same time continued to become acquainted with the conditions around them. They looked up to the higher groups and began to pattern after them. Problems arose, and with the able assistance of their guide, Miss Stump, they were overcome. After a few trials, and some pleasant times mixed in, the group safely ended their session. Next year these newly recruited members will take their places in the main assembly, and we hope they will retain their first good impression and add many pleasant memories along the way.

Trim lines of blue moving down the field to the strains of a rousing march! That’s our band in football season, but that is only one of the many activities in which they participated. In addition, our band marched in a parade at Greensburg and at the dedication of the Western end of the Pennsylvania turnpike. In these performances, the majorettes contributed to the attractiveness of the band. These high stepping misses not only marched and twirled but also performed acrobatic stunts for the first time. After the marching season passed, the band continued its constant striving for improvement. They prepared several assembly programs including an hilarious “music depreciation revue.” Under the expert direction of Mr. Kenneth Sell, they prepared selections for the spring concert. This naturally was well received. This year our band was not only represented in the county and district bands but also in the state FFA band in Harrisburg where Ralph Kepple played his baritone. Senior members are Jack Novak, Eugene Bartus, Joe Busija, Harrold Watkins, Bernard Greggerson and Norman Turchan. Graduating majorettes are Rita Painter, leader; Patti Baloh, and Mildred Seslar.

The second of the musical organizations which grace this institution of learning is our chorus. This talented group has entertained the entire assembly on several occasions. These were indeed enjoyable performances. However, the most concentrated efforts of these gifted people were toward the annual spring concert held in conjunction with the band. Diligently they practiced daily, all efforts bent toward a single goal, a memorable concert! We, of the assemblage, noted their marvelous progress on the previously mentioned occasions when the chorus was a part of the program. Not only the chorus, as a whole, performed, but several smaller groups taken from the chorus members. The quartet, Jeannette Dry ('leaning, 3-Hr. Service, 622 Clay Avenue 42 Decoster Bros., Music and gifts nationa 1 Ch orus Roy Fink, Otha Fink, Bernard Greggerson, and Bill Kelley, delighted us with their harmonious rendition of “Stout-Hearted Men” and “Ah Ain’t Gonna Grieve My Lord No More.” Alice Shearer, Helen Bittner, Dolores Deibler, Nancy Fink, Carol Woomer, and Erma Humelsine, the sextet, also rendered several lovely selections. At one assembly we were entertained by a double quartet singing “Kentucky Babe.” In spite of the interruptions of these performances, the chorus moved steadily toward completion of their preparation for the music festival, the climax of their year’s work. Some of the musical compositions which they presented to the expectant throng on the eve of the annual affair were “Cindy,” a Kentucky Mountain song; “Paneas Angelicus,” a religious number; and “Soon Ah Will Be Through With the Troubles of the World,” a Negro Spiritual.

Soon thirteen juniors and seniors joined the ranks of this organization. In order to qualify for membership, each was required to have high grades in either chemistry or physics this year. In December the new members were initiated. Following the initiation of the new members, all at- tended a party at Bill Busche’s home in Levelgreen. Now eighteen members strong, the club elected officers as follows: Norman Turchan, president; Roger Vaglia, vice-president; Jean Baughman, secretary; William Kelly, treasurer. With the expert knowledge of Mrs. Byers to guide them, the members conducted experiments during their club periods. These were to increase their knowledge and to show the club members how interesting Chemistry can be. Making invisible ink and later fire writing were two of the projects which fascinated the students. Proud'of their club, the new members bought club pins.

Club has undertaken many projects among which was the entering of exhibits of canned and baked goods in the annual farm show held in the high school gym. Spaghetti was served at the Xmas party held December 16 in the Home Ec. Room. Mr. Rometo, portraying Santa Claus, distributed gifts. The presentation of Mr. and Mrs. Dan Cupid (Dee Herrholz and Bob Evans) as a special feature of the Valentine Hop added the mysterious part to this always enjoyable affair. In April the members presented a fashion show to Women’s Clubs of the surrounding district. Each girl modeled an outfit which she herself had made as a project during the fourth class period. After the show a luncheon was held in honor of the girls’ mothers. Pooling their resources with the G.A.A., the Home Ec Club purchased a mirror for the girls’ room in the gymnasium. The girls devoted part of their last meeting to making plans for the annual camping trip to Ligonier. They will go in June under the supervision of Mrs. Bengel and several guests. Grace Raymaley, president, guided the club through the activities of the past year. Assisting her were Cecelia Hartman, vice-president; Betty Hostetler, secretary; and Shirley Bohince, treasurer.

At their first meeting, the members elected Russell Barton, president; Roy Fink, vice-president; Annabelle Painter, secretary; and Cameron Fisher, treasurer; and chose new members. Stage Crew Mr. Wodnick replaced Mr. Bohince as head of the stage crew. During the year they undertook the responsibility of setting our stage and arranging for proper lighting for the various programs which were presented in the auditorium. The club chose Robert Dorohovich as their manager and James Nixon as his assistant. Being shop students, the stage hands also contributed many useful props.

The duties of the librarians consisted of keeping the books arranged in order and checking books in and out of the library. A fine of one cent was charged for each day a book was overdue and with this fund, new books were bought for the use of the assembly members. Fire Patrol Greatly to be admired are the boys shown here, for theirs is the difficult task of fire prevention. Constantly they have to guard against fire hazards. Another of their self-assigned duties is passing their knowledge on to the others at headquarters. In the event that a fire does occur, to these lads goes the dangerous job of extinguishing it.

Under the leadership of Mr. Dorsey, the boys have studied diligently. However, in the course of their busy year, they found time to journey to Harrisburg for the state farm show. The trip was both enjoyable and profitable. At their election, the boys unanimously chose Nick Harrison, presjdent; Bill Martin, vice president; Jesse Walton, secretary; and Jim Connor, treasurer. The Junto Club made its initial appearance this year with Mr. Plischke as the adviser. The group decided to donate one book about Benjamin Franklin to the library each year.

Repeating last year’s procedure, the group sponsored a very successful White Elephant Sale, the proceeds of which were used to buy dictionaries and other needed material for this department. At headquarters, the attractive lass pictured here acted as head secretary. Her duties were many and varied. She typed reports, answered the telephone, which seemed to be constantly ringing, and acted, in general, as an information bureau. But through it all.

For the first time, the Thanksgiving issue featured a colored drawing depicting the holiday. The novel idea was received with cheers by the readers. Aside from advertising and circulation as a means of raising funds for the publication of the paper, the staff sponsored a Harvest Dance in October. Needless to say, the affair was a great success. Helen Bia, as editor of the paper, did a splendid job. She was able to do this with the invaluable aid of Norma Reeder, assistant editor; Helen Kotarski, in charge of features; Carmella Cioffi, artist; and Mr. Plischke, the newspaper adviser.

Neither team scored in the fourth quarter until the last minutes of the game when Rabbits charge over for six more points. Deguffroy scored the extra point thus ending the game.
