Zum eanfcklence 7a Day after day, Mr. James and Mr. Schmidt devotedly fulfill a very important obligation that has been given them, getting the boys and girls of Penn Township to their classrooms on time and safely. These good men have given freely of their time and energies, to take us to skates and on field trips, to basketball and base- ball games. But it has been the little things that have really endeared them to us, their friendly greeting on a cold winter morning, their patience as they wait for a straggler run- ning up the lane, their good advice to a dis- couraged student. But more than this, they have been our friends, and this is the high- est accolade. The Class of 1952, therefore, humbly and affectionately dedicate their yearbook to our bus drivers, Mr. Richard James and Mr. A. joseph Schmidt.

It is the responsibility of these men to direct and super- vise the educational and extra curricular programs of Penn Township's ship's Schools. With the increasing enrollment, and the rapidly rising costs of education, our school directors must face and solve problems of great importance, problems which affect not only the student body but all the members of the community. We sincerely thank the hard working, community minded mem- bers of the School Board for their work in making Penn Township schools the best. President MR. E. A. POWELL Vice President Secretary MR. FRANCIS ALBERT H. FREDERICK FLEMING ROBERT J. ATKINSON THOMAS W. ABELS -3- We 146m 7a 7466 gmc Of Om Own PARENT TEACHER ASSOCIATION The Penn Township P. T. A. elected the following officers to serve them for the year 1951-52: President, Mr. Hugh Gillong Vice President, Mr. Carl Weckerlyg Secretary, Mrs. Vera Standfieldg Treas- urer, Mrs. B. C. Huselton. The Penn Township P. T. A. aims to do much for the children of our community, for the teachers, and for the parents. The programs have been planned for entertainment and for edu- cational values. A social hour is held after the business meeting, so that the teachers and the parents might get better acquainted and work together for the betterment of our schools. A number of projects are planned for the year. The milk pro- grams was continued to serve milk to our children at a low cost. The serving of soup was extended to serve the children of grades four, five, six and seven at Nixon School. Heavy window curtains were bought for room three, at Stewart Hall, so that grades one, two, and three might be benefited by moving pictures. Lumber was purchased to provide shelves for the office and for the new room. A committee has been chosen to select strip films for the school. This is the latest project. ..9- SE IOR Clam of 1952 Motto: Work to Winn Colors: Blue and Silver Flower: Pink Carnation DONALD KETCHEM President JOHN WEBER SHIRLEY CALLEN Vice President Secretary AUDREY PFLUGH Treasurer M-M-M . . .

Sparked by the inspiring work of President Jim Nel- son, the Junior class chalked up a remarkable record of accomplishments in 1951-1952. Their aggressiveness, de- termination, and flair for the original indicate a terrific Senior year for this dynamic Class of 1953. The Juniors began their program on a high note with a very successful skate at Twin Willows, and followed their original success with a paper and scrap drive and a bake sale. Undoubtedly, the most important event on the spring social calendar at Penn High was the Valentine Dance, Cupid's Capers. ' But the shining hour for the Class of 1953 occurred early in the school year when the Juniors presented their assembly. These talented people actually had the student body standing up and cheering for a program liberally spiced with country style music, and climaxed with a pres- entation of Why I Am a Bachelor, which would have done credit to professionals. Mr. T. W. Hubner, the sponsor of the Class of '53, can be congratulated on the work of his group. Look for big things from the Class of 1953. im' MTN' gs , 9 Q 'Q ,qw X rj W ,--TM GN' f' .f Iii' .EPP W' - '-'mi rwd- 'efzf fa R ,1-r jf' -f 1 SCPHOMCRES The Clary 0f1954 Motto: We can if we try.

Compensating for their lack of numbers with unusual aggressiveness, interest, and ability, the Class of 1954 has earned the admiration of the school. The group, using to full advantage the skilled administrative ability of Presi- dent Don Greenawalt, piled up an enviable record. Their fall Halloween party was generally accorded the most suc- cessful in the school's history, and their bi-monthly hot dog and candy sales left the students with satisned appetites and the sophomores with a record class treasury. In the late spring the class demonstrated an entirely different kind of talent, dramatic talent. The program was well-rehearsed and cleverly presented, but the pussy-cat and canary bit stole the show. Miss Rita Kelly has been the class sponsor in all their activities, from picking apples to assembly practicing. 5: 7 I X I Y? i Q izj.-.

The Freshman Angels have harped their way through myriad activities under the leadership of forceful jim Furl, President of the Class of 'S5. A gay and frolicsome initiation party, sponsored by the Seniors, headed the program of activities. During the day, moans and groans were heard from every nook and corner as the weary Freshmen bent over with creaking bones to gather up toothpicks strewn about by the untidy Seniors. The Freshmen are especially proud of a mid-winter dance which they sponsored for a local family whose home was destroyed by fire. The price of admission was a house- hold article. Bath the school and community applaud the chantable and democratic spirit of the Freshman class which engendered their project. A light-hearted one-act comedy play was presented by these glowing-faced cherubins at their assembly in late winter. As an added attraction, several white-robed angels sang three delightful, fast-moving songs, and the entire class, chewing purple chewing gum, articipated in a rous- ing and original Finale. Mr. Keith White was the sponsor of these angelic students. 127.- wil Y 35 'M Z ' a PM lo ., ..- H-4 EIGHTH GRADERS BRADFORD MYERS The Clam 0f1956 er goals.

Under the leadership of Brad Myers, the eighth grade was ready for another action-packed year. They got the ball rolling by having a different kind of Valentine project. Instead of exchanging Valentines among the class, they decided to give one to the school. It consisted of a strip-film library to be enjoyed by the whole school. The big social success of the year was a class party. The boys had a good time dancing and cutting in on Mrs. Hubner, even though Mr, Hubner threatened to give them study hall. IK!

We started off our year with a feminine touch, by electing jean Jurincic President of our class. With her as our energetic leader, we were able to accomplish much. One of the highlights of our year's activities was our trip to smokey Pittsburgh. We visited that sweet smelling appetite building plant of Heinz, where we were shown a movie Big Kitchen, and then were taken on a tour of the plant. Our next stop was KDKA, where we had the privilege of witnessing Brunch with Bill, a very entertaining and amusing program. A place that was of interest to all was the University of Pittsburgh, where we saw the Commons Room and Syria-Lebanon Room. ...31... amwl Zane First row, Ieit to right: Dorothy Marsh, Roberta Chambers, Dorothea Dietrich, Kathleen Gillon, Patricia Steigh- ner, Joan McGeary, Kathryn Weckerly, Jean Callahan, Rebecca Wimer.

'Wea Wfafzw at :de tene SENIOR The house lights were dimmed, the audi- ence hushed, and the curtain went up on the sensational Senior class play, Mother Is a Freshman. The audiences were extremely enthusiastic, and after that last curtain call the cast felt that the long hours of practice were very worthwhile. W Pat Voltz and Don Ketchem were teamed in the romantic leads, lovely Pat as Abby, and virile and charming Don playing the Pro- fessor. John Weber, in the very demanding role of Dean Gillingham, did a perfect job, and his scenes with clever Walter James, as Bobo, were a special delight. Some perfect type-casting had Pat Steighner, Shirley Cal- len, and Carole Birch in the role of college PLAY glamor girls. Another bevy of campus beau- ties was Arian Smith, Peggy McCafferty, Pat Leseman and Diana Stepanovich, who were pursued by some big men on the campus, Bob Shipe, Gary Zeigler, and Ed Runyan. Busy trying to keep these gals and guys apart was housemother Artimas Morgain. The play, directed by Miss Kelly, was much fun for the cast-the spaghetti at Natili's af- ter a late practice, those basketball games be- tween the boys and the girls at which Miss Kelly reffed, the homemade cakes that were consumed between acts, the backstage jitters when Don got the wrong corsage box. The cast will be forgiven for agreeing with the audience. It was, truly, the best yet.

The Penn Broadcaster, now in its third year of existence, has many accom- plishments of which it can be proud. Each year, many new ideas andgfeatures have been added which have contributed to the appearance of the paper, a monthly publication. The attractive covers drawn by the art editor helped to bolster the sales. The Seniors, who are in charge of publishing the paper, selected junior assistants who helped in publishing the April issue. The May issue, the work of the Juniors alone, assured the Seniors that the Broadcaster is being left in capable hands. The staff is proud of the fact that through the paper they have helped to keep up the spirit and morale of the school by keeping students well-informed and in touch with all phases of school activities. The staff extends its sincere appreciation to Mrs. McCloskey and to all the other teachers who have helped in the past term. -35.. THE PENN STA FF Editor-in-chief ..,,..,A.., .,.. ,...., .,..,.,....

Penn's snappy camera club got off to a flashy start on September. 20. At their first meeting they elected officers' and got the bulbs rolling. Under the leadership of Mr. Hubner, club advisor, and inspired by president Gail Monroe, the organization acquired twice as many members as in the 'previous year. As a money raising scheme, the club pur- chased a carton of film aiidresold it at a profit to the students. Not satisfied with their riches, the club set up a portrait studio at the pep dance and took pictures of the students. Other activities of the club have included a field trip to the plant of Mr. deCoux, photogra- pher and engraver for the Eagle, and a meet- ing at which Mr. Russell Bennett spoke on taking portrait pictures. At their regular meet- ings the club also did photo-laboratory work, took various kinds of pictures, and discussed their photographic problems. With its expanding membership and broad- ening scope of activities, you can be sure that you will be hearing more from the camera club in the future.

With Mrs. Walker as our club sponsor, we again assembled for another year. Our iirst project of the year was that of electing officers. The counting of the votes showed the following results: President-Lila Jean McGrath Vice President-Jean Jurincic Treasurer-Pat Tyo Secretary-Carolyn Donaldson Among the activities enjoyed by the club was a Learn to Dance party for the boys on January 31. It was decided among the girls that identi- cal gym suits would look nice, so with the help of our mothers and Mrs. Walker, blue gym suits were made for each girl. Girls from the club are appointed each week to serve soup to the students of Stewart Hall, and they have been doing a magnificent job. In our meetings we discussed questions which the girls put in the question box in Mrs. Walker's room. This has been of great help to us and has solved many of our problems 'throughout the year.

Early in the school year, with Mr. White and Mr. Hubner as sponsors, the boys of the junior high school organized the Penn Sports- men's Club. Bob Huselton was elected presi- dent of this group. Assisting him were Nelson James, vice president, Curtis Wible, secretary, and Jim Cronenwett, treasurer. The primary aim of this organization was to foster good sportsmanship at Penn High. A well-rounded program featured a junior high basketball team, intra-club football and basketball games, and a wonderful party at which the boys acted as hosts to the members of the Girls' Club.

Penn opened its fifth year of organized baseball with a small and inexperienced group of players. Under the leadership of Mr. White, the team was quickly drilled into shape. A lack of pitchers and consistent hitters were the primary reasons for a mediocre season: Possibly the greatest find was the control pitching of Jim Scholter and the handling of the keystone sack by Irish McNeillie. Much credit is also due Swede Nelson for his fine handling of the pitchers. Because of lack of experience, the Panthers were unable to register a victory, but a large majority of the players will be back to repre- sent Penn High next year. The graduating members of this year's squad are Don Ketchem, a pitcher, Gail Mon- roe, utility player, and Walt James, an out- fielder. f ..-42-. :mlm tie cwafzdlef we F Kneeling: John Weber, Scorekeeper, Carl Hughes, Manager, William McCormick, Donald Ketchem, Co-Captain, Walter James, Co-Captain, Thomas McNeillie, Harry Albert, Timekeeper, Ronald Harmon, Manager.

Early in the fall the halls of Penn High rocked with cheers as girls from every grade competed for the highly-contested positions on the cheering squad. Election to the squad was by vote of the student body. After a week of interested speculation, the names of the girls thus honored by their classmates were revealed at an assembly. Shirley George, president of the squad, quickly organized the program of activities. At the fall pep dance the basketball team stole the show. After each player had been in- troduced, the team demonstrated its Versatil- ity by leading several school cheers. Oh, what form! A novel feature of the dance was the ad- mission price, a penny for every inch around the waist. Not only was this much fun, but the profits were used to buy new uniforms for the squad. The snappy blue and gold uniforms made their debut at one of the most rousing pep meetings of the year, during which a spirited inter-class cheering contest was held. The 1951-52 cheering squad was one of Pennls finest. Much of the credit for their per- formance is due Mrs. Walker, their sponsor, for her great patience, generosity, and excel- lent guidance. These cheerleaders were surely the girls behind the teams behind the ball. 1.531 077i0'!6 gomzce ta tie Ounce ALL SET! ARE YOU READY? -54- YOU BET!
