Her cheerful personality has brought happiness to all of us, and she has been to us our mother away from home. ADMINISTRATION BOARD 0F EDUCATION The members of our board of education have accepted the trust and responsibility placed in their hands by the citizens of our township. The success of the school is dependent upon their judgment and vision. In appreciation of the fine work our board of education has done in the past, we of the graduating class, wish to express our gratitude and thanks. Their foresight has been and shall be in the future, instrumental in the op- eration and function of our school. They are the voice of the people, and we realize that our school is operated as the people will it. We realize the tre- mendous responsibility of these men as they seek even more ways of im- proving our school and curriculum. It is with this knowledge of their unending diligence to their task that we, the graduating class, salute them. Mr. J. Raymond Simpson .......... ................,.. P resident Mr. Edward M.

STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council has now been organized for four years and has grown from eight to twelve members, including two representatives from grades seven to twelve. That is what I call progress! The president from each class is one representative, while the other is elected by the class. One representative has to be a boy and the other a girl.

Shirley Callen This year We have been very active in backing all the community drives for T.B., Red Cross, Cancer, etc. We also sponsored a magazine-selling contest in order that the whole school could help raise money for some of the funds of the different organizations in the school. As another of our projects, we decided where it would be best to pank the cars so they would be shielded from footballs and basketballs. We recommended that the drive be widened around the school, that there would be only one way traffic, and the speed limit be reduced to 10 miles an hour. When this was completed, we saw great improvements in the traffic conditions. Our long range project for the year is the printing of a hand book which is to be given to the new students to help them get acquainted with the rules and regulations of the school. We hope it will be completed by the time this book is published. Seated: Rebecca Wimer, James Dittmer, Robert Dittmer, Alice Wible, Nancy Hallock.

Mrs. Merril Giles The schools of Penn Township are fortunate in having a progressive farsighted Parent-Teacher Association. This group has successfully carried through two projects which have been impor- tant to the health of the children. One is providing milk at small cost to all pupils. The other is making hot soup available to the first three grades at Nixon School. This is one step toward the realization of their goal of hot lunches at small cost for each Penn Town- ship School child. Many P.T.A. gifts have enriched our school days. This year's programs have all been centered around one theme, The Improvement of our Penn Township Schools. Howard and Murphy, architects, presented an illustrated talk on Modern Trends in School Buildings. Another meeting featured slides of pic- tures taken in our schools to show the actual conditions here. One program concerned Various Things We Must Do to Improve Our School Conditions. A member of the Board of Education led this discussion. The final meeting is planned as an expression of tribute to our teachers. We, the Seniors of Penn Township High School wish our P.T.A. the best of luck. -10..

History We entered room one in September of 1947, an ex- tremely fresh group of Freshmen. Led by the capable guiding hand of Mr, Wallace Baird, we began to blaze our way through Penn High. The class chose as its fiower the pink rose and as its colors, green and white. After careful deliberation, we selected a motto to try to live up to in our future school years and to carry on in our later life. It is Happiness adds and multiplies as we divide it with others. The president of our class was Alice Wible, the other officers included Dick Walker, Art Dauben- speck, and Floyd Gilliland. Our activities of the Sophomore year were also under the guidance of a basketball coach. This time it was Mr. Louis Vayo, a new member to the faculty. Having a basketball coach for a home room advisor two years in succession must have had its effect as most of the boys were on the team. - Our major social function for the year was a Hal- loween Dance with Red Bell's Orchestra. The class also held a skate and a party which were very suc- cessful. Dick Walker was elected President with Jim Mitchell, Alice Wible, and Ronald Stephens as his cabinet. As we reached the Junior year our number had decreased by four members. Mrs. Keith White was our home room advisor in this year of great activity. The girls held a large majority of the class, therefore, the officers were as follows: President-Marylou Run- yan, Secretary-Anna Marie Hallock, Vice President -Barbara Jancse, and Joan Voelkel-Treasurer. The class gave the school's romantic problem a shot in the arm by sponsoring a Valentine's Day Dance with music of Tony Carroll's Orchestra. Addi- tional finances came from the sale of refreshments at the ball games, a skate and several bake sales. We have at last reached a goal which we looked toward for twelve long years. The class is missing several girls that evidently considered housekeeping more interesting than text books. A few of the fellows also followed the call of adventure and enlisted in the Air Corps. Barbara Jancse is now Mrs. Rocco Colon- ellog Virginia Lawhead is now Mrs. Tony Carroll. Those who left for the Air Corps are Paul Bowers, Arthur Daubenspeck, and Jim Mitchell. The class officers for the year were: President- Robert Dittmer, Vice President-Ronald Stephens, Secretary-Joan Voelkel, and Treasurer-Carol Hind- man. We sponsored a formal, The Sno-Ball, which was a moderate success except for the financial view- point. To Mrs. Staudacher, our home room advisor, we give entire credit for having pushed us through our senior year. With her help we were able to partici- pate in the Baccalaureate Services held on the 25th of May with the Commencement Exercises on the 29th. The Prom was held on the lst of June with a picnic at North Park the following day. -13- JOAN MELVA VOELKEL Jo Blue eyes and blonde hair . . .

History As we, the class of '52, advance still further on the path of knowledge, our thoughts turn back several years. We re- call our confusion on our first day as Freshmen, our emotions on Initiation Day, and our first class meeting as Jolly Froshf' A year later we entered Penn High as sophomores, sad at the end of summer va- cation, but yet glad to be back with our school friends. We were proud of our par- ticipation in sports and athletics, and pleased to note our progress in school ac- tivities. Early in our Junior year our order of class rings arrived, and we began to wear with pride, the emblem of our school. Shortly thereafter we conducted a cam- paign to sell magazines, a task, which by custom, befalls the Juniors each year. There were very few homes in Penn Town- ship that did not know the presence of our salesmen.. Upon the arrival of basketball season, our class prepared to sell refreshments at each home game. Soon room two was transformed into a combination kitchen and confectionery, and the customers were attracted by the enticing aroma of sizzling hot dogs. Early February found us decorating for the Valentine's Day dance which we sponsored. There were both round and square dancing, but in spite of poor weath- er, we had a large turnout and everyone had a fine time. This year many Junior boys participat- ed in both baseball and basketball, while a large number of girls also played basket- ball. Many of our number were also active on the Penn, and Broadcaster staifs, as well as in various clubs and organiza- tions.

In our Freshman year we sponsored a skate and sold school emblems. This year we planned to have more and varied activities. As Sophomores we have so far been successful in selling pencils with the school's basketball schedule on them and sweat shirts with Penn High and the school's panther on them. On October 27, 1950, we held the annual Sopho- more Halloween Party and Dance. We were anxious to make this the biggest and best event ever held at Penn High, and we succeeded in doing just that be- cause of the hard work, co-operation and sincerity of all the members of our class. The class has sponsored a skate at Twin Willows and held a bake sale at Murphy's. Many of the thirty-five class members have par- ticipated in school sports, and four of our girls were Varsity Cheerleaders. Although we played a rather abbreviated baseball season, several of the Sopho- more boys were on the team. Almost all the Sophomore boys tried out for the basketball team. It can be seen by the fact that most of the J. V.'s and two of the Varsity's players were Sophomores that our class certainly was active in basketball. There were also quite a few Sophomore girls on the girls' basketball team. The girls have also organized two softball teams which play the other girls' softball teams of the school. The next big project we will undertake is that of being juniors, something we are all looking for- ward to.

Mr. White, advisor, History We assembled in the auditorium the first day of school and learned that our ad- visor was Mr. White. During the summer we gained two members which made us a class of twenty- one, and one of the smallest classes in the high school. We started off the year with the elec- tion of officers. Our chosen colors are gold and white and our flower the yellow rose. Our motto, is We can if we try. The Seniors welcomed us by having initiation September 15. After that we felt that we were part of the high school. In the fall we took a hike through North Park. We took this hike for Science class during our study of plants and ani- mals. jWhat a hike! Everyone was worn out afterward. In Civics class we visited the courthouse and interviewed the officials to see what different responsibilities their positions held. As our first money-making project, we undertook to sell Golden Panthers. Our success in selling them was due to the en- thusiasm of our salesmen and the student body. A We presented an assembly program in which every member participated in a gymnastic exhibition. Everyone thorough- ly enjoyed the program. Along with the eighth grade we par- ticipated in dance lessons given by Bob Sheffler. We appreciated the opportunity for this activity and greatly enjoyed our lessons.

The eighth grade is quite a class, They treat their teachers swell. They are so nice, so polite, But occasionally-oh, well- When We were just tiny tots, We used to romp around, But now that we are eighth grade students, We stick to solid ground. Our home is room one, With Mrs. Walker as the guide, We have lessons by the ton, Heaped high as the rising tide. We like our teachers very much, Walker, Hubner, Winer, White and Quinn, They teach us right from wrong, With knowledge our heads do fairly spin. Jim Furl, a good president does make, For his helper Gloria we did take, Elaine Crowe the minutes can write, To our money Alice does hold tight. We think we're nice and big and strong We think we're very smart, And when we gave our assembly play, We all did do our part. Elaine, Nancy, and Alice, too, Are cheerleaders from our grade, We are so very proud of them, We always give them aid. T.B., Red Cross, and March of Dimes, With others we do share, To bring a little joy to them, We have a little bit to share. Christmas cards we did collect, Up in the thousands we now get, Crippled Children these will use, Bright colors they may choose. We make the teachers so very mad, They could pull out all their hair, But now that we know so much better, We'll treat them with better care.

Mr. Quinn, a new teacher, was elected our home room advisor. In September we chose our class officers. This year we have depairtmental work with the following people s our instruc- tors: Mrs. Walker, Mr. W fite, Mr. Winer and Mr. Quinn. Patty Tyo was elected t e J. V. Cheer- l leader from seventh grade. Three boys were chosen to play basketball on the Boys' Junior High Team. Two girls were selected to play on the J. V. Girls' Team. On January 26 we put on an assembly program in the high school showing what our classes are like today and what the seventh grade will be like in the year 2000. As a group, the seventh grade has gone on trips to the Carnegie Museum in Pitts- burgh. -33- URRICULUM English and Latin Mathematics Social Studies Science Commercial Sub ects Q., CTI ITIE Art Music Dramatics Publications Clubs Committees Assembly Programs Movies Dances r ART Due to the illness of Mrs. Green, the art supervisor, there were no art classes held in the high school. The elementary teachers continued the work for their classes. The high school students greatly miss the creative projects which have been done for the past three years even though we had little space, time and materials. The classes took up diierent phases and techniques consisting of pen and ink, oil painting, water painting, charcoal, pas- tels, linoleum block stencils for Christmas cards, textile painting, molding paper mache, and printing. Much of our work, along with the ele- mentary work, was exhibited at the Spring Festival to make an evening's excursion into the world of art. First on display were small children's drawings of houses, men and horses. Progress and growth could be seen in the art work of each advancing group. Next was seen work of the high school group. They have learned to use their colors to an advantage, making their pictures seem more lifelike. Each person has been given a good foundation to go on to make a career of his art. This year four girls painted a scene of New York City for the Senior Play. They did an excellent job and the Seniors ap- preciated it very much. We noticed the artistic talent of the Freshman Class in the decorating of their bulletin board. For each holiday they have had a gay arrangement of pictures and colors. Our newspaper also had two reliable art editors. Their covers and drawings through the paper are appropriately de- signed for the main occasion of that month. Ronald Stephens, Mary Blair, Bob Ditt- mer, Roland Weckerly, and Edith Murray, the oldest of the art students, will gradu- ate this year. We are sorry to see them go. We all hope Mrs. Green will .be back with us again next year. P. S. Since a number of students want- ed an art class, Mr. Hubner and Mrs. Wal- ker have offered their services to help in any way they can. This class has to meet at noon because their is no other period in the day for it. The art students are now preparing a display and painting the scen- ery for the Spring Festival. -35.- MIXED CHORUS Front row: Nancy Kaltenbach, Jean Ziegler, Alice Wible, Marty Wible, Donna Hamilton, Walter James, Harry Albert, Mary Blair, Edith Murray, Kathleen Gillon, Joan McGeary.

The Mixed Chorus has. made public ap- pearances at the Community Day Pro- gram, assembly, Spring Festival, Com- mencement and Baccalaureate. One of our big accomplishments was the combining of all the choruses to sing a special selec- tion for our Christmas Program. We also had an ensemble of selected voices sing for the Christmas Program. Under the honor point system each student is trying to earn a music letter. The honor points are received according to each student's participation and con- duct in class and any extra work the stu- dent does. If the honor points are high enough, the student receives a letter at the end of the term. To receive this letter is the ambition of each music student. -37- GIRLS' CHORUS l Front row: Joan McGeary, Joan Voelkel, Nancy Kaltenbach, Kathleen Gillon, Carolyn McCullough, Marty Wible, Shirley Huselton, Patricia Voltz, Mary Brady, Jean Ziegler, Roberta Chambers, Jean Callahan, Kathryn Wecker- ly.

THE BOYS' AND GIRLS' CHORUSES The Boys' Chorus is made up of 16 boys. Because of such a small group they were quite handicapped. They had a lot of new and interesting music this year which helped stimulate the boys' interest. The Girls' Chorus is composed of 33 girls. We have been doing very well this year, but We find we are shy a few second sopranos! Both choruses have made appearances for Community Day, Assembly, Christ- mas, and the Spring Festival. The boys meet 4th period on Tuesday and Thursday while the girls meet on Mon- day and Wednesday. JUNIOR CHORUS Our Junior High School music depart- ment consists of three groups, a boys', girls', and mixed chorus. Mr. Winer di- rects all our activities. The combined chorus participated in singing Thou Bethlehem, the main fea- ture of the Christmas Program. We also sang in the assembly program and the Spring Festival. The Girls' Chorus meets Tuesdayg the Boys' Chorus meets Wednesday, and the Mixed Chorus meets every Friday. The usual meeting place for the girls' and mixed chorus is in Room 3. The boys' chorus usually meets in the seventh grade room. Scene from Act II DRAMATICS Everybody's Getting Married was the name of the play given on November 21 and 22 by the Senior Class. Reginald D'Arcy CDick Walker? was left a sum of 81,000,000 by his late aunt, Agatha D'Arcy. But before he could get the money, he had to find husbands for Mrs. Lancaster iShirley HusletonJ, Mrs. Hardin fCar- ol Hindmanl, Marie Blake CJoan Voelkell, Miss Effie Cramer iNancy Kaltenbachl, Dulcey Lane tAlice Wiblel, and Mrs. O'Leary fMary Blairb. At the time of her death Miss D'Arcy was running a matrimonial agency known as The True Companion Social Club. She had the names of these six women on her books. Reginald employed the help of Dean Garrett tBob Dittmerh and they set to work to find six men. They ran into a little trouble with Viola Compton tMary- lou Runyanb, Reginald's fiancee, but soon got it straightened out. Floppy Smith fLou Gillilandl, Tip McCarty CGail Monroel, and Spike Jones fJim Ditt- merb, three gentlemen of fortune who were willing to be married, James tBud Weekerlyb, Reginald's valet, and Mr. Gordon 4Ronnie Stephensl, Miss D'Arcy's lawyer, made five eligible men. Dean and Reginald found themselves caught in the net too, and all were happily married. The play was directed by Mr. Hubner. Anna Marie Hallock was the business manager and James Mitchell was in charge of the stage. Edith Murray was the prompter. The Senior play is not the only dramatic produc- tion we have, however. This year every class from grade seven to twelve presented an entire assembly program. These programs were very original and varied, and everyone enjoyed them 100175. -40-.

The Penn Broadcaster in its second year of existance made considerable prog- ress. Many new ideas and features were added to our paper as the staff and mem- bers of the school began to get into the spirit of publishing it. The Senior section of the staff selected their assistants early in the term and all hands turned toward publishing the first edition. As yet the Penn Staff has not been able to publish a paper as often as it would like. Next year we hope to be able to turn out bigger and better issues. We of the staff are very proud of our publications and hope that through them We have contributed to the building and maintaining of interest and spirit in Penn High School. Also We would like to thank Mrs. Stau- dacher and all the other teachers for the help that they have given us in the past term.

The developer's over here! Mr. Hubner, what do I do now?? With sounds such as these, the Camera Club of Penn High got off to its rather mud- dled but definite start. A The idea for a camera club had been in the minds of many for the last few years, but it wasn't until December, 1950, that it finally became a reality. About a week before Christmas vacation, a group of the school's camera fans, assist- ed by Mr. Hubner, met and formed the Penn High Camera Club. We agreed to meet on Wednesday nights at the school, and we elected officers: Walter James ....,,,..,. .......... P resident Ruth Simpson .,.............. ......,... . Secretary Patricia Steighner ,......,......,, ., ...,,,.....,.,.,,,.,..........,..,.. Treasurer Since the club's organization we have been meeting regularly. At our meetings we take and finish our pictures and discuss photography. We have been developing almost all the pictures we take and are doing it with perfect results. Although the Camera Club was organized too late to do it this year, we plan to make photographic Christmas cards next year. Also among our plans for the future are tak- ing pictures for the yearbook and making portraits of the members. Our advisor, Mr. Hubner, has worked hard for the club, and much credit for our success should be given him. - 43 - SENIOR GIRLS' CLUB - Penn Teens The Senior Girls' Club is composed of the Sophomore, Junior, and Senior girls. We have as our advisors, Mrs. Walker and Mrs. Myers. We selected as president-Alice Wible, Vice-President-Shirley Callen, Secretary-Shirley George and Treasurer- Arian Smith. The object of our club is to do something for the school. At our meetings we discuss different projects and any problems that come up. We sponsored a skate at Twin Wil- lows to raise money and hope to have other projects. We started a campaign to paint the girls' dressing room and showers. There is also a social side to our club. The Junior Girls' Club and our club combined to hold a George Washington dance for the enjoyment of the members and their guests. We hope the school and the students benefit from the things our club is trying to accomplish. -44- JUNIOR GIRLS' CLUB The Junior Girls' Club was first organized the latter part of 1950. Because of the late start, We didn't get as much accomplished as we had planned, although we did hold some meetings during the summer. At the beginning of the 1950 school year, the forty-two girls of grades seven, eight, and nine met in the auditorium to organize. We elected officers: President ......,..................,...,.......,.....,.4.,4...,..........,.. Shirley Percy Vice President ...,,....,. ,.,.,.,.........

S andra Murray With Mrs. Walker as our sponsor and Mrs. Myers as co-sponsor, we began to progress in our work for the year. The purpose of our club is serving others. We bought a full length mirror for the hall to help improve the posture and neatness of the students. In order to finance the buying of the mirror, the club members are serv- ing luncheons to the faculty members. The group in charge plans the menu and decora- tions. The luncheons have proved quite successful. We have really profited by this experience because we learned to work together and we learned to utilize what we have. What fun it was arranging our table and then stand- ing back and hearing the exclamation: Oh! Doesn't it look beautiful ! Our dining room is the stage and We use the boys' dressing room as a kitchen. Cn February 10, we held a bake sale at Murphy's store. This was the first public activity we had and it was a real success. The George Washington Party, held February 24, was one we will always remember. It was a combined party with the Senior Girls' Club. Our chairman, Ruth Alice Weckerly, and her committee really spent a lot of time helping others to enjoy themselves. Every- one thoroughly enjoyed themselves. There are many other plans which will be developed later on in the year, and you can assure yourself that there will be worthwhile projects for the year. ....45...

The County Scholastic League was inactive because of lack of participation among the member schools. The abbreviated season was quite a dis- astrous one for Penn. Playing lackluster ball, the Panthers were unable to register a victory. This brand of ball was due most- ly to the inexperience of the majority of the players. The excellent playing of Jim Mitchell stood out above that of the oth- ers. Pitching three games, he allowed a total of only six hits. Although disheartened by defeat, we were pleased to see the large number of younger fellows who are developing into good players. We hope that these boys will represent Penn High in a well organized league next year. .-43.- PENN PANTHERS , 3 Kneeling: John Weber, scorekeeper, Robert Greer, manager, James Scholter, Richard Kaltenbach, Roland Weck- erly, Walter James, Harry Albert, assistant manager.

After having their opening game of the season postponed because of heavy snow, Penn initiated its season by absorb- ing a 53-20 defeat at the hands of Evans City. Walker led Penn with 10 points from the pivot position. In our home opener on December 12, Penn took a first half lead over invading Hampton but wilted in the second half as Hampton went ahead to win 42-37. Walker again led Penn, scoring 15 points. On December 15, Penn opened its league schedule at home with a 35-27 victory over West Sunbury. Walker and Stephens paced the scorers with 12 points each. Penn kept their league record clean by winning at Bruin in a close game, 35-33. Walker and Ketchem led the scorers with 10 point efforts. Walker led the Penn hoopsters with 12 points as Penn lost at Hampton 41-27 in a poorly played game. The first game of 1951 was also the first league loss as Penn was beaten by Worthington 30-24. Walker took game honors with 10 points. On January 9, the Panthers traveled to Slippery Rock, where they were soundly trounced 51-32 by a towering Rocket team. Upon their return to league competi- tion, Penn was beaten by Chicora, 49-39. In this game, the Panthers hit only 2071 of their shots, Walker leading the scorers with 17 tallies. Traveling to Winfield for an exhibition game on January 16, Penn played listless ball in losing 32-18. Walker, with 9 points, again led the scorers. At Harrisville on January 19, the Pan- thers broke out of their scoring slump to win 49-46. Stephens and Gilliland paced the scorers with 16 and 15 points, respec- tively. . On January 26, Penn traveled to West Sunbury and handed the home team a 44- 25 defeat. Dick Walker cut the cords for 23 points to lead all scorers. Returning home on January 30, the Panthers defeated the Bruin Bears in a close game, 36-33. Walker was outstand- ing with 22 points. Penn flashed a steady attack in winning its game at Worthington on February 2, 43-31. Walker led the Panthers with a thers to East Brady, where, without the services of Dick Walker, the Penn boys lost 59-33 to the husky Bulldogs. Lou Gil- liland and Don Ketchem led Penn with 12 and 11 points, respectively. In a poorly played game on February 23, the Blue and Gold went down to defeat at the hands of Winfield 32-26. Ketchem and Walker led Penn with 8 point totals. At home on February 27, the Panthers lost again to the East Brady Bulldogs. This time the score was 54-29. Walker, by caging ten tallies, led the Penn forces. On March 2, the Panthers played a game that was to have been their opener. Evans City and Penn waged a tight battle dozen tallies, Ketchem and Stephens chip- ped in with 10 points each. On February 9, in their most crucial game of the year, the Panthers were de- feated at Chicora, 41-35. Walker featured for Penn with a 19 point effort. In a home game on February 13, the Panthers proved easy prey to Slippery Rock as they lost 62-27. Walker, with 14 tallies, paced the Penn hoopsters. Dick Walker's 22 points led Penn to an easy 48-36 victory over invading Harris- ville in the last league game of the year. This win gave the Panthers 2nd place in league competition. February 20 took the white clad Pan- in this game but the Big Red pulled away in a last quarter surge to give them a 54- 40 victory. Dick Walkeris 19 points in this game gave him a 4 year total of 1039 for the Blue and Gold. This is believed to be a Butler County League record and we sincerely hope it is. This is the last season for four of our varsity players. Dick Walker, Lou Gilli- land, Bud Weckerly, and Ron Stephens will be graduated this year, but let us not forget the boys still on the team. Next year these fellows will be under a great coach, Keith White, and they'll all be striving for another championship year. Good luck, boys! -51- OUR OFFICIALS Consulting the Referees before a Game.

As the 1950-51 season of basketball ap- proached, the thought of conditioning practice entered the minds of many boys. For those boys Who were not varsity play- ers, there was an organization called the Junior Varsity provided for them. The Junior Varsity is an organization of boys who are not especially skillful in the game of basketball. It is organized to teach them the game and also give them experience in the games. The purpose of the Junior Varsity league is not to win games, but to provide experience for all boys who are Willing to gain experience. Some of the principal points of playing were taught to these boys by their two coaches, Mr. Hubner and Mr. Quinn. One point brought out was that if you didn't have basketball in your heart you were not good in the sport. Another was that you were Working as a team and not as an individual. In the future years We hope to show our coaches and fans that this system works very well and that all of the Work carried on by these boys and their coaches is of a benefit to the team. INTRAMURAL BASKETBALL Intramural basketball was organized this year to give not only entertainment at noon, but also to give experience to boys of our school who will compose our basketball teams in the future. These boys of grades seven through eleven were divided according to- age and ability to form the teams. The games were conducted under the supervision of Mr. White, and were refereed by members of the Junior and Senior Classes. This league was subdivided into Junior and Senior levels. In the Senior league the Panthers took first place while the Dukes were the forerunners in the Junior level. Forward Forward Center Guard ........... .,..,....

This year the enthusiastic girls' bas- ketball team came back to school only to find out that most of the other high schools in the district had discontinued their girls' teams. After writing many letters to the schools, to try to convince them that they should have a team, our manager, Phyllis Barnes, finally lined up games with Mars, Cathedral, Worthing- ton, and Evans City. Anna Marie Hallock was chosen by the girls as captain. Anna was also a very able forward and one of the Senior members of the team. Shirlee Huselton and Nancy Kaltenbach were the other two Seniors. Starting at forward for the girls were Anna Marie Hallock, Ruth Pflugh, and Diana Stepanovich, with Audrey Pflugh, Arian Smith, and Ruth Murray as guards. We would like to thank Mr. White and Mr. Yingling for the assistance which they have given to us during the season. For the first time girls formed intra- mural mushball teams. A team was made up from each of the Senior High School classes with a girl from each class being elected as captain. The Sophomores chose as their captains, Ruth Pflugh and Ro- berta Chambers, the Juniors: Audrey Pflugh, and the Seniors: Anna Marie Hal- lock. Many games were played and a good time had by all. -55- CHEERLEADERS On November 4, the cheerleaders were chosen by a vote of the faculty and six members of the high school. They were chosen on five traits: personality, co-ordination, neatness, co-operation, and leadership. Those selected for Varsity were: Marty Wible, Shirley George, Joan Voelkel, Jean Callahan, Kathleen Gil- lon and Kathryn Wfeckerly. Chosen for the Junior Varsity were: Elaine Crowe, Alice Cashdollar, Nancy Percy, Patty Tyo, Ruth Simpson and Shirley Percy. The varsity uniforms were two piece blue cordu- roy with gold satin lining, while the Junior Varsity girls made blue gabardine skirts and wore yellow nylon sweaters. The cheerleaders organized a club, and the follow- ing girls were chosen as officers: President-Jo Voel- kel, Vice President-Shirley George, Secretary-Jean Callahan, and Treasurer-Shirley Percy, We sponsored a skate held at Twin Williows which was a success. Part of the money taken in was used to buy varsity cheerleaders letters. We wish to express our sincere thanks and grati- tude to Mrs. Staudacher, our sponsor, for a grand job, and also Mrs. Walker, our chaperon, who went with us faithfully to all the games away from home. The spirit of the cheerleaders was always an in- spiration to the players and the school. W 8 XV f 01 X! ,ali 45, W' 40 I a in l 6 lg Ll' fro g Trick or r EA J' Q Q 9 -Q-s 'CB WJ.

Annie became engaged. The Senior class did anything common or right. The first day Lou Gilliland came to school with the Flying Saucer. When the mixed chorus sang at Commun- ity Day. When the P.O.D. Class went to Butler. The Sophomore assembly program. WOW! All those movies we saw. Miss Kennedy applied first aid to Mr. James' false finger. The Junior and Senior girls started home nursing. The big snow. Jean Callahan and Bud Weckerly danced on Route 422. Stevie didn't say buy it at Murphy's. Play practice. When the cheerleaders got along with each other. The Thing Dick Walker came to school on Monday. Mr. Hubner's collection of fingernail clips. Mrs. Whitehill substituted for Mrs. Stau- dacher. Oh those grades!! Chuck didn't'rush us through our lunch. Mr. Quinn first came. Those lucky 7th graders. How all the Senior girls wanted to be Mr. Quinn's secretary. Nancy didn't have a smart remark for everything said. Those luminous socks and sweaters the boys and girls wore. Mrs. O'Bryan had a shiner. The Seniors ate onion sandwiches and coke. Jean Ziegler became engaged?????? Bob Dittmer wrote the spicy history of the Senior Class. Jo told Steve she trusted him 50c worth. Three girls saw Chuck Hartzell in Butler one afternoon. What were you doing in there???? Senior Sneak Day. They have pictures to prove it. Mr. Winer talked nonsense in Girls' Glee Club. Mr. Hubner said he couldn't stand pin curls. Bud said Annie had all the physical char- acteristics for a secretary. The mirror in the girls' dressing room fell down. It contained 25 combs, 12 pen- cils, and a handful of bobby pins. Mr. Hubner became engaged, Wow, what a grouch. Latin Classes went to Pittsburgh. The Juniors had a bowling party. The Seniors went to the Reform School. Should have left a few of them. Bob Dittmer smashed a plane into the of- fice door at the Airport. Those splin- ters really looked good on Kenny. Phyllis didn't come a whole week without missing a day. Mrs. Staudacher's 17 children. . The Yearbook had the deadline but it seemed that we would never make it. Lou's car ran out of gas with a certain Sophomore girl in it. Well trained car. Huh, Lou???? Mr. Quinn got tough with a certain Fresh- man. The Sophomores didn't feel like doing al- gebra, so they had a gab session. Mr. Hubner couldn't find his pie. Ronnie Hageter put perfume on everyone. The Latin Class quickly became a club to appear in the yearbook. Bob Heckard always had the last words with every teacher- I don't agree with you. Mr. Hubner made the Sophomores write out five word lists in U. S. History. Tom McNeillie stuck his hand through a window While taking a suit case from Joan McGeary. The Junior Varsity started winning a few games. ' Jim and Bob had a little smash-up. Remember the Fashion Show. All those pretty models. Remember when the Seniors told Mrs. Staudacher to save her Christmas present for her children. The gymnastic exhibition at Slippery Rock. Oh that modern dance. Harry asked Carole if she would sit with him on the bus. Don Ketchem went home sans pants. Shirlee asked Marylou if she would make it to her own funeral. She always was so slow. The night of the Prom. Senior Class Picnic. The party the Seniors had after the play at Herolds. The faculty had the dinners at noon. Stevie lead the Mixed Chorus. Annie was always going down to Green- walt's store. What was that for. The Christmas Program. How Shirlee and Jo always seemed to miss the same day of school. Was it an ac- cident???? How the Hanger boys were always sick?? How a certain girl always'had a dying calf' look. Who was it???? -50- W V V L Mr. and Mrs Mr. and Mrs. Mr. and Mrs Mr. and Mrs Mr. and Mrs Mrs. Fred J.
