Spaziani, and our beloved principal, Father Loeper, listen attentively during the Installa- tion Ceremony. PURITY . .. The Junior girls know that the best way to pre- pare their souls to receive the Most Precious Body and Blood of Jesus is to purify them in Con- fession. They take advantage of this opportunity at Mt. Carmel Church. PIETY ... James Talotta serves as Father Loeper offers “The Bread of Life” to Frances Di- Pierro at our weekly Mass. CLASSES ahr a Seniors, Anthony Romano, Judy Suprys, David Paolini, Mary Jo DeRea, and Connie Sullivan make use of the map thoughtfully provided by the Senior Scholastic Press. “Where’s North Fourth Street?” quips Connie. As Father Loeper returns assignments to Rosemarie Guida, Don Giaquinto, and Sharon Cotturo, Anthony Liberto smiles over a comment written across Anthony Mondello’s paper. Father’s opened Religion book means a quiz on last night’s homework! oem Ronnie DeNadai grins as Rosemary Valletta gives a rather complicated explanation of de- creasing trigonometric functions. Mathema- ticians, Daniel Fiorot and Nancy Schultz, listen carefully so as to catch every precious word, while Carol Broglio looks at Sister Arsenia, silently asking if his diagram is correct. To say that we seniors have a schedule crammed with studies, projects, book reports, and term papers is really putting it mildly! It seems as if we've been plugging away at English IV, Reli- gion IV, and P.A.D. forever and a day. And besides, don’t forget the electives! Students with college in mind take Trigonometry, Physics, and Spanish; commercial-minded seniors select Book- keeping, Stenography, and Typing. i | No wonder our senior girls are always so peppy! Calesthentics such as these are bound to make them agile as well as. graceful. Mrs. Gardner’s gym classes are aimed to help them become poised and healthy. Smiling at her handiwork, Laurel Bilodeau listens to Danny Powlette as he explains just what torque is. Caro- line Caporaso attentively follows his interpretation to make sure it’s right. Pat Finelli is doing a precision experi- ment of the movements of force while Donato Capobianco notes the force and distance of the weights on the meter stick. SENIORS Although seniors love to misquote Shakespeare by talking about “physics’ pain” and threatening to “throw physics to the dogs,” we really like our physics class, for Sister manages to put into this dry subject just enough humor to make it interesting, as well as worthwhile. Just so, our Piuster well-being is aided by fast-moving gym classes, for the fine condition of our senior boys can be credited to Mr. Shemanski’s phys- ical education program. Mrs. Gardner’s gym classes, planned for best physical fitness, are a must for all senior girls. Stenographers Mary Jo DeRea, Sandra Falcone, Darlene Rossigno, Francine Faraldo, and Margaret Orlando prove that brief forms are the essence of a hundred and twenty words. Ronald Crafa, Johanna Sylvester, Thomas Haring, Andrea Massi, and Janice Reto aim for sixty words a minute. Impossible as it sounds, our lively senior typists achieve, and even exceed, that finger-breaking standard! As part of office practice, Marietta Boscaino puts her filing knowledge to best use, while Carla Giovanni gets an accurate total on the adding machine: Cecilia Cascioli and Veronica DeRea efficiently operate the duplicator. Keys tap-tap, bells ring, carriages slide, as our senior typists try for sixty words a minute on modern Remington typewriters. It’s not so easy as it seems though as our oldest Piusters can readily tell you. Only practice,. practice, practice, can make those limber fingers fly at a speedy rate. Speed, accuracy, and a hundred and twenty words a minute are the goals of our senior stenog- raphers as they fill page after page in those mysterious steno pads. Business-minded Piusters have a real work- ing knowledge of office procedure, thanks to our Commercial instructor, Sister Maria Bona. Take the Lead ... English IV, Spanish II, and Book- keep ing help complete the Seniors’ busy schedule, making our Pius day an all- around work day. But we have many extra-curricular activities to lighten the “drudgery.” However, there’s a good deal of satisfaction to be found, if we look hard enough. Add our spiritual guiding light — weekly Mass and Holy Com- munion—and our Piuster life is complete. Dorothy Martino has a question for vivacious Johanna Sylvester, while Michael Capobianco and Caroline Caporaso examine the outline on the board, preparing to supply titles of Roman- tic Novels. But why, is Anthony Caracio smiling so? — because he likes literature, of course! Linguists Ralph Lopardo, George Giaquinto, Joy Walter, and Connie Capozzola take heart with Ralph DeLorenzo, as Mr. .Melhem points out that although “hermana” isn’t supposed to have an accent, the rest of his sentence is correct. School photographer, Mr. Michael Tilli, finds senior bookkeepers Ernest Pasquot, Philip Viglione, and Janice Reto, hard-pressed to make J, C. BILLINGS AND CO.’s assets cover its liabilities. If Cecilia Cascioli, Eileen Gray, and Veronica DeRea don’t get his credits to equal his debits, poor Mr. Billings will be poor indeed! WOM eS HIGHS JUNIORS Although Juniors have experienced three years of high school, they look forward to many new adventures. The Physics course is one of them, but they brave the storm, equipped with hard study and harder work. Religion and Eng- lish are “musts” for all students, but our Juniors are especially lucky for they have Father Graff for inspiration in each of these very important fields. Jack D’Alessandro, Thomas D. Caracio, Lucy Ann Ren- aldo, and Marie Powlette cast a look of surprise at Gary Merlo as Rita Buskirk points out the mistake he made in Religion III class. “Where do you think that comma goes?” asks Donna Sartor of Aurelia Robertone and Brenda Striba as they check the sentences that Robert Picerrillo, Joseph Cistone, and Anthony Zanette have written in English class. Beverly Figlioli, always looking on the funny side of things, checks a Physics experiment with Francis Romano, Alexander Kristof, and Alfonso Giovanni. Adele Fisher and Judy Singly seek the answer to the puzzling problem. While his fellow students are figuring out where to put which angle, Joseph Cistone is taking the easy way! Not so with Pat Pezzuto, Donald Renaldo, Joseph Jamiolkowski, Robert Piccerillo, and Thomas D. Caracio, who painstakingly study the problem in Mechanical Drawing class. Click, click, clickety-click and our diligent jun- ior typists, Angela Guida, Louis Janette, Aloma Poloni, John Mack, Janet Falcone, and George Strockoz, work for speed and accuracy. Lucy Ann Renaldo and Bronwin Gardner find that their opinions differ, so Nicholi Racciato refers to her text. Joseph Jamiolkowski and Pat Pezzuto proceed to unveil the secret of fractions, hidden in Algebra. Algebra is defined as the “science of treating the properties of numbers by means of general symbols” and junior Algebra II scholars have discovered that it can be rather complicated! Typing is to the business student as algebra is to those pursuing the academic course. This is the proportion that the Junior Class has drawn up after some discussion, and it has been verified by our Mechanical Drawing pupils who have much opportunity to learn the value of correct work. Away back in freshman year, such a study as stenography appeared to be a foreign language, but our juniors are finding it fascinating as they learn to make the brief forms so necessary to the rapid taking of notes. Our gym classes are always recognized for their value in helping to “keep fit,’ and the junior Piusters strive to attain a healthy body as well as a healthy mind. Listening diligently to the explanation of Michael Stasak is an interesting class participa- tion for Stenography I students, Marie Donna DeNardo, Anna Perin, Sharon DeLesio, Carl Zito, and Elizabeth Porambe. Is Thomas A. Caracio taking notes? Gym exercises seem like a harrowing experi- ence to most girls, but for such juniors as Brenda Striba, Marie Pullo, Marie Donna DeNardo, Donna Sartor, Anna Perin, and Eliza- beth Porambo, it appears to be enjoyable. seers” Z GENS wt gasupes ece gans While Mr. Melhem, Albert Fedon, and Charles Languages help to prepare us for Capozzolo check, Rita Buskirk dictates Spanish many future encounters with people of sentences to Patricia Bet, Marie Pullo, and erhecienanousiand © to gain a ower Frances DiPierro, who write in their best : d Spanish. understanding of their customs, so our juniors delve into Spanish IT with much gusto! Kathleen Vicario and Joanne Guida use one of their free-hand drawn maps to make a location clear to Eileen Flagge in U. S. History class. Robert DelGrosso acts as chairman as Frank Greggo raises his hand to question Thomas A. Caracio on something just discussed. Because of the absence of history in sophomore year, juniors found it hard to adapt themselves again to this sub- ject, but with the help of Mr. Shemanski, they soon wended their way through the roads. lined with numerous dates and important people. Follow the Leaders. =H yy KS fay f a v § aoe - ASO Soe “Tog: 148 G- Baneeeedos i iJ 7 fae Sophomores seem quite ambitious when it comes to their favorite subject, English! While Louis Capozzola is on the alert to answer the inquisitive mind of Judy Bavaria, Maureen Pritchard and James Ciliberti discuss the in- fluence of the French during the Anglo-Norman Period. Interested onlookers are Alfred DeRenzis, Benny Manas- seri, and Alfred Ruggiero. Father Graff’s interesting Geometry class keeps these industrious sophs on their toes. Roseanne Breda explains to Judy Caracio that CD is really a bisector. Louis Capozzola, Carolynne Bianco, and Francis Bartoli are hard at work putting last night’s assignments on the board in the hope that Father will find them correct. As our diligent sophomores continue their education at Pius X, they meet with a host of challenging courses, which they are determined to overcome. They have relived English Litera- ture from the time of the early Celts to the Age of Shakespeare, and are striving to widen their knowledge of the language in the field of word study, spelling, and the mechanics of English. In the mathematical department, our sophomores are conquering the problems of proving that triangles are congruent, line segments, equal, and lines, parallel. 20 Onward they venture into the care- ful study of foreign languages. Latin II, with its many complex constructions, vocabulary, and vivid translations, has proved to be a challenge which our stout- hearted Piusters have successfully met. SOPHOMORES Are Ambitious, I 00, To Joseph Angelini, Latin II is really a dead language. Somehow, conjugating “fero, ferre” just doesn’t appeal to this musical-minded soph. Alfred DeRenzis, James Ciliberti, James Talotta, Carol Garafolo, and Wilhelmina Finta can easily understand his plight. Forward they move, delving into the mysteries of life. Armed with micro- scope and dissecting needle, they have shown their efficiency in studying God’s - creativeness. It’s not hard to see what the sophomores are studying today, since Valerie Gray obliges us by pointing to the subject. James Talotta smiles in secret amusement as Juanita Dunbar, Elaine King, Dean Dapkewicz, Joseph Angelini, and Alfred Ruggiero peer through microscopes searching for knowledge. semevenastesserecuamnllieenn ; SPERMATOPHYTES WAS Meme Fe cat oe S95 SP ee SaaS RON Ll REESE TESTER SED Bandaging arms, making splits, and applying tourniquets help the sopho- more girls face life with a decided ad- vantage as a result of their weekly hygiene class. The boys acquire much from their hygiene class also, but most probably prefer the active participation in health-building exercise which the gym classes always provide. Mrs. Gardner teaches Maria Liberto how to apply a bandage to “patient” Louise Janette, while Sharon Dotta ably assists her. Lucille Liiro and Mary Jo Zito are bound not to miss one thing needed. Some of the sophomore basketball players won- der who will catch the ball after Mr. Shemanski tosses it. Gym has many phases, and training in their favorite sports makes it more interesting. Lucia Cappola and Robert Dotta collect the Religion quiz that Father Loeper usually gives daily. Patricia Abbruzzese and Patricia Sullivan seem pleased that they have done well, but why is Carole Cascioli so serious? Robert Greene and Nicholas DeRea are also smiling happily as they turn in their papers. Donna Communale, an up-and-coming Spanish I student, reads a paragraph as Mr. Melhem checks her pronunciation. Her fellow classmates, Alfred DeRenzis, Pat Confalone, Richard Fusakio, Michelle Filingo, and Sharon Dotta, seem very much interested in the story. Sophomore religion consists mainly of the study of Church History. Although it is difficult to master all the facts of our Catholic historical background, Father Loeper does his best to make it easier for them. “Espanol” is a language that is soft and pleasing to the ear and delightful to speak, and so our sopho- more Piusters are introduced to it. These eager students like especially the humor- ous stories they have to translate. To avoid the danger of mis- using the microscope, Mr. Melhem explains the proper method of handling it to Robert Stoncius, while other General Science scholars pay strict attention. James Or- lando, James Detzi, George Uliana, Francis Cerino, and James Maso are not missing a word. Religion is the most impor- tant subject in our school, all students agree, but espe- cially freshmen. Although it is not entirely new to them, ie ie [= S bod M i. N Religion takes on a new aspect, as James Maso points out to his fellow students, John Jamiolkowski, Frank ADE Our Youngest Piusters Zito, Floria Poloni, Diane Manasseri, Carol Meixell, Diane Trigiani, Kathleen Sabatine, and Donna Greggo. seas September brought sixty-eight brave new Piusters. Such a large number made it necessary to divide the freshmen into two classes, 9A and 9B. To say that all freshmen are bewildered at first is false generalizing—the same thing can be remarked about any sophomore, junior, or senior at first try at a knotty scholastic problem or new adventure—and these eager students soon became unbewildered and developed a liking for, and a proficiency in, certain subjects. General Science is one that freshmen boys especially look forward to learning. 2322 EERE ERT OU ES ISS Although General Science isn’t exactly a freshman girl’s forte, she can at least get some understanding of the subject in Mr. Melhem’s class. Then there’s always the English class, which can make up for her lack of enthusiasm in science! All the freshmen realize how important it is to recognize the essential parts of sentences, or later on in the year, to delve into literature and examine American culture from the time of Anne Bradstreet to Walt Whitman. Starting with the fundamentals, freshmen enjoy reviewing past English lessons. Fred Mick, James Angeline, Jo-Ann Reto, and Stephanie Zelenka look to Paul Karner for his comments on their work, while Danie! Turtzo and Roxanne Armeline appear to agree with him. Helping one of his General Science students, Mr. Melhem explains a difficult scientific law, while Kathleen Sabatine, Antoinette DiPierro, Jeannette Due, Phyllis Kotch, and Theresa Greco check their papers. “Fake time for mutate, it aa gift God take time lo practice. it ja the key to auctéaa. ‘he A test is coming up soon and our freshmen girls prepare by going over a few equations. Adele Nelson explains to Regina Mondello, Judy Jones, Lorraine Leraris, and Carla Cerino how important removing parentheses is to the solution. The first time the freshmen boys multiply polynomials by binomials, there undoubtedly will be a few mistakes! Father Loeper makes a correction on Michael DeRenzis’ work, as Jeffrey Asure and John Falcone listen. Mean- while, Anthony Ricevuto, John Martino, and Frank Zito take careful note. i Boys and girls alike find those x’s, y’s, and zs of Algebra I quite befudling and mysterious, but that doesn’t keep our “freshies” from trying. We seniors think that, young as they are, this year’s freshmen have some inkling of just how important those fundamentals are, how often they're used in General Science, Geometry, Trigonometry, Physics, and Chemistry, and that basic Algebra usually holds for quick, easy solution to problems. 26 Languages, history, and physical education fill in the freshmen’s roster, making the curriculum of our youngest Piusters complete. Pius life is well- rounded, too, as freshmen have ample social and spiritual opportunities. They can participate in any after-school activ- ity they wish, and some are before school, also! There’s always a place reserved for the freshmen in our Royal tradition. It seems as if Joanne Capobianco has completed her conjugation of “porto” before Eugene Rushin, Thomas Sapone, Joan Walsh, and Stephanie Nasatha. While James Detzi, Lucia Giovanni, Carmella Farole, William Zanette, and Donald Vicario give a last minute check, Frank Baskar seems eager to recite. World History must be interesting, judging from William Waring, Thomas Sterlachini, John Racciato, Concetta Scagliotti, Carol Vil- liano, and Angela Caporaso, as they focus atten- tion on that highly cultured nation, Italy. These freshmen seem deeply absorbed in re- search as they avail themselves of the many sources of information in our library during one of their study periods. Meet the | Piuster Family.

Margaret Orlando, David Paolini, and Judy Suprys check to see if it really is a solution. ne il MO GR eR UREA Promptly at 9:15 every morning, Piusters hear the morn- ing prayers and daily announcements via the P.A. sys- tem. Student Council President, David Paolini, starts our busy day with, “In the Name of the Father . . .” en nN “Keep to the right,” reminds Student Councilor Joseph Jamiolkowski as our photographer snaps the action be- tween classes. Alex Kristof, another junior S. C. member, helps him maintain the post outside of the library. Sophomore S.C. members show that “the grace of God is in courtesy .. .” by politely holding the door for Lucia Giovanni as she returns from the lunch period. Pat Confalone and Alfred DeRenzis have their post on the first floor. The Student Council hasn’t stood still dur- ing its ten-year existence. Membership has grown from eight to eleven active councils. The Presi- dent, Vice-President, Secretary, and Treasurer are elected from the senior class. The juniors and sophomores each elect two representatives, while the freshmen, because of their larger number, choose three. “That isn’t a picket fence, Father, they're telephone poles,” narrates Father Dismas, O.F.M., as he describes his ride in Father Loeper’s Chevy. Our Retreat Master’s warm informality gave him a place in each Piuster’s heart. The student body reverently murmurs, “Domine non sum dignus,” when Father Graff displays the Sacred Host at our weekly Dia- logue Mass. Sister M.St. Angela, R.G.S., earnestly speaks of the life of a Good Shepherd Sister dedicated to helping and caring for “girls with a problem.” Pius X is growing, and naturally, during the course of its growth, many things are becoming traditional — our Dialogue Mass, for instance. Just three years ago, the late Cardinal O'Hara gave Piusters permission to actively partici- pate in the Mass, and already this has become a custom. The annual retreat and talks on vocations have always been a part of Pius life. Modern Crusader, Father Boucher, S.S.E., gives the boys’ annual vocation talk. He mentions the work of the active-contemplative religious in the Society of St. Edmund. Will any of our Royals answer the Call? December brings the ultimate of Pius tradition. After three months of earnest gazing at the seniors’ class rings, eager juniors receive their own sapphires } in gold settings engraved with the Pius | seal. On the last school day of the old | year, our Piuster family gathers in the auditorium for the solemn Christmas tree blessing, the joyful carols, and the Christ- mas tableau. Adele Fisher and Rita Buskirk receive their | long-awaited rings from Father Loeper during the traditional ring ceremony. How proud our juniors were that day! December brings a Pius Christmas along with freezing cold and gray, snowy skies. Father Loeper blesses the Christmas tree which our juniors decorated with shimmering rain, blue balls, and warm cheer. Another memorable event is the senior Christ- mas. tableau. Members of the senior class re- create scenes of the happenings one cold night in Bethlehem many years ago. OPEN HOUSE Stephanie Zelenka’s revolving solar system shows that Pius’ Freshmen aren’t shirkers when it comes to making blue-ribbon science projects! Satu rn’s rings give her entry the crowning touch.

Once every school year, Pius X opens its doors for all to view the progress made scholasti- cally and scientifically in just a few short months. At this time, parents are invited to discuss their children’s records with the faculty members, new student s are registered for the coming year, and all our Piusters are eager to display the newest developments at P.X.H.S. Refreshments, pro- | vided by the thoughtful Student Council mem- bers, make it a social success, too! SCIENCE FAIR One of the highlights of Open House is our Science Fair. Despite the problem of transforming our gym from a temporary chapel on Sundays to a dis- play room for our projects, we managed an efficient solution through the strong arms and helping hands of our loyal Piusters, and the result was amazing! Bread molds can be interesting, as Peter Scarlese will tell you. Peter, who captured one of the prizes in the Senior Division, checks with another Sophomore, James Talotta. ul day, A.

James Talotta’s beaming smile seems to reflect some of the glow a blue ribbon puts into a boy’s heart. Also shown is another Freshman entry, Uranium-238, which Ed- mund Kozlowski presented. The indefatigable Business Staff lays the groundwork to finance the CLAVES. Anthony Caracio, Elaine King, Francine Faraldo, Marie Powlette, Marietta Boscaino, Veronica DeRea, Mary Jo DeRea, Margaret Orlando, Johanna Sylvester, Sandra Falcone, Carla Gio- vanni, George Giaquinto, and Michael Capobianco have one goal—money!

Patricia Bet, Judy Suprys, and Joy Walter pore over that vital dummy, while Rose Mary Valletta, Donna Comunale, Frances DiPierro, and Rita Buskirk comment of the latest results. Our hard-working Editor-in-chief, Judy Suprys, puts in many long after-school hours on the CLAVES. If generous service alone means an award-winning yearbook, we've got it made! Quantity, as well as quality, has been the need of this year’s CLAVES Staff, More pages mean more work, so we like to think of the 61 CLAVES as the flower of effort—started from the seed of thought, watered with the sweat of many hustling business staffers, and nourished with the words of hard-work- ing copy writers. So here’s the ‘61 CLAVES—complete with eighty whole pages! CLAVES '61 edeeehentin eesaiain eT On gray, dismal October lst, the cheery warmth in our Piuster’s hearts as we sallied forth to the Villanova Press Conference, made up for Mr. Sun’s lack of enthusiasm. After seeing many “ter- rific’ books from schools far and near, and attending countless conferences on yearbook making, we returned, weary, but eager to make our own beloved CLAVES deserving of All-American, Medalist, and All-Catholic. “Work, work, and more work!” groan sports editors, George Giaquinto and Michel Capo- bianco to some of the editorial staff as they share life’s burden of copy writing and picture identification. Here’s one person no year- book can do without. Student photographer, Pat Confalone, examines the results of his handiwork. Pat’s shutterbug interests have made him in- valuable to the 61 CLAVES. Mr. Sun makes his only ap- pearance of the day at the Villanova Press Conference. We like to think he came out just to make our Piusters’ sunny smiles sunnier! Love is the melody of the heart, and since all Piusters have deeply reverent love for Mary, we paid special tribute to her in our finale. As the Band played and the Glee Club sang the joyful “Regina Coeli,” the stage curtain was slowly drawn back to reveal a : moving tableau of Our Lady of Fatima. All Pius X High School members want to thank Sister Lucilla, who is now teaching in Lebanon High School, for graciously giving her valuable time and unsparing effort to make our ’60 | Musicale one to remember. PIUSTERS SERENADE... With Enchanting Melody. Stars of the Musicale were Wilhelmina Finta, piano accompanist, Mr. Louis Angelini, conductor, and Joseph Angelini, organist. Because of their talent and hours of sacrifice during rehearsals, bn Ue they presented the audience with a delightful evening of music. ———_————— BP ws AEE nt, all Delightful rhythm and brilliant color characterized our Spring Musicale of 1960. Through the hard work of Sister Lucilla, and under the able leadership of our lively band director, Mr. Louis Angelini, our Second Annual Combined Concert was a great success. We realize that the extra practices and hard toil were not wasted. From the moment Harry Kachline introduced the first three numbers, the audience radiated enthusiasm, and really enjoyed our rendition of “Sound of Music.” The real triumph of the Glee Club, however, was “The Tribute to Romberg,” a medley of a number of Romberg “greats.” The band set feet tapping when it struck up “Rock around the Clock” and other lively band hits which won hearty praise. Wilhelmina Finta capably provided piano accompaniment for all the Glee Club numbers. The boys were a striking picture in their white dinner jackets, blue bow ties, and blue carnations. Not only did they look handsome, but they also sang in clear and vibrant tones at the Musicale. These Piusters were an important asset to the concert, and helped to assure its success, DANCES Sprinkled With Stardust The exotic “Club 60” provided the setting for our 1960 prom at Pius X, Patrons Rose Mary Valletta and David Paolini have been caught up in the spirit, and warmly agree that a wonderful evening was enjoyed by all! Holiday festivities are in the air, and everyone’s heart is filled with Christmas joy. The magic of the silver bell and twinkling stars transforms our auditorium into a winter wonderland, as the dancers sway to the delightful melodies of Benny Falcone’s orchestra. John Ferrazano and Joy Walter pause for refreshments during intermission at “Club ’60.” The punch bowl was quite an attraction during the evening, and a focal point for friendly gatherings. Glittering stars and romantic music were not designed for the younger set alone. Mr. and Mrs. John Melhem, Mr. and Mrs. Vin- cent Shemanski, and Mr. and Mrs. Louis Angelini, chaperones at our annual Christmas Holly Hop, have been caught up in its spell. Judy Suprys and Ernest Pasquot “trip the light fantastic” amid holly, pine, and Christmas lights. Every Piuster eagerly awaits the occasion of our Christmas dance. A glorious evening at our prom draws to a close as Louis Pagano assists Caroline Caporaso with her coat. Cecelia Cascioli, Aloma Poloni, and Mary Jo DeRea enjoy hearing of their gala time. Through the doorway, Father Loeper and Father Graff watch the remaining dancers as they take a last twirl. eee iw Rhythm, precision, perfection —that’s our band! Mr. Angelini, our versatile band director, radiates with school spirit. His demand for co-operation from all those in the band results in one of the best bands in the area. Their half-time performances are a joy to everyone as they enliven the games with their snappy numbers, and the part they play in our concert is an unforgettable one. Our little Royalettes, Judy Campa- nario and Mary Lou Ruggiero, proudly hold the Pius banner as Sergeant Caroline Caporaso, Sharon DeLesio, Marie Donna DeNardo, Rita Buskirk, and Eileen Gray stand at attention. “Hail to Pius High . . . We will be true to thee, our blue and white .. .” Flags are slanted as the band plays our “Alma Mater.” Majorette Constance Scagliotti has a great responsibility. Those whistles mean precision, and precision means a good band. Connie’s first year as Head Majorette can be marked with success. Standing in a “P” formation as they play the Alma Mater, our band fills hearts with a booming school spirit. BAND Color guard and cheerleaders lead the band on to the field for half-time performance. They put on a lively show for an appreciative audience at each game. “Rock! Rock! Rock around the clock!” Every Piuster will remember the cheerleaders’ rendition of that stirring song at P’burg. The “V” in cheerleader captain, Rose Mary Val- letta’s name surely must stand for Vim, Vigor, and Vitality! A ready smile and a warm heart are Rosa’s chief characteristics. Our first and last pep rallies were a major part of Pius’ football season. They provided the students, as well as the players, with a spirit of enthusiasm which they carried to the games. 44 “On Wisconsin” really means “On Pius” in the hearts of all joyous Piusters. These blue-and-white boosters demonstrate their athletic and vocal ability in behalf of the school they love. Spirit radiates from our seven peppy Royalettes: Eileen Flagge, Frances Di- Pierro, Rose Mary Valletta, Nancy Schultz, Janice Reto, and in the back row, Bron- win Gardner and Darlene Rossigno.

Bob DelGrosso and Alex Kristof look on after throwing key blocks. We present: PIUS X HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL TEAM of 1960: Front Row: Louis Capozzola, Donald Vicario, James Detzi, Frank Zito, John Racciato, Joseph Genteel, James Talotta. Second Row: Ronald DeNadai, Joseph Jamiolkowski, Stephen Ferrazzano, Michael Stasak, Francis Cerino, Thomas Haring, Anthony Liberto, Ralph Lopardo. Third Row: Robert DelGrosso, John Mack, Anthony Zanette, David Paolini, Albert Fedon, Richard Curcio, Donato Capobianco, George Giaquinto, Michael Capobianco, Anthony Caracio. Back Row: Alexander Kristof, Richard Fusakio, Philip Viglione, Carlo Broglio, Jack D’Alessandro, Anthony Mon- dello, Brian Miller ( Assistant Coach), Vincent Shemanski (Coach). The will to win, fine teamplay, and plain old- fashioned persistence tell why the Royals gave football fans a thrilling exhibition of gridiron tactics. The team, with its earnest “never say die” spirit, knocked over all but two of nine powerful opponents. The fiery enthusiasm of Piuster rooters was with our team all the way, and, we like to think, inspired them to no less than a “Royal” victory. FOOTBALL Quarterback George Giaquinto barks signals as the Royals get ready to roll against Notre Dame. Mike Capobianco is finally brought down by Daniel Boone de- fenders as he crashes for a first down. Pip, Pigskin, and Dave Paolini grinds up yardage as he sweeps end past several Belvidere linebackers. This game provided many thrills as each team battled perilously close to the goal line, but midway in the Per SO@VGh CLAGE fourth period, an intercepted pass and a well executed drive proved fatal to Belvidere. feadis FOOTBALL RECORD: OPPONENT WE THEY St. Michael’s Industrial ........ 16 Marian Catholic 2.03 ste Uae Notre: Dame iv. pean eens CEU Goplayidctin che idpan stance states tater ine Belvidere i). 525 2A es ADDO oO Tony Caracio, star halfback and co-captain, dives the final yard for a touchdown.

Gaping holes like this one enable halfback Mike Capobianco to q plunge unmolested into end zone. This was characteristic of the unsung heroes, the Pius line, whose hard blocking and tackling were keys to another successful season with Coplay. It started with a handshake, but it ended in disaster for the Royals. P’burg Parochial, led by all-state tackle George Orangio, and Nick Youpa, scored a decisive 31-0 vict ory over us. They are pictured with our co-captains, Anthony Caracio and Anthony Liberto. Tony Caracio heads goalward on a punt return against Daniel Boone High School. Getting ready to pave the way are Anthony Liberto (35), George Giaquinto (10), and Dave Paolini (11). With this 19-13 victory, Pius’ string against public schools remains unblemished.

Ralph Lopardo, Pius’ sharpshooter and high scorer, dis- plays his famous jump shot. “Lumpy” broke all school scoring records when he poured in 462 points this season and a three-year career total of 857. Mike Capobianco, Tony Caracio, Ralph Lopardo, and Ronnie De Nadai woefully watch a Pen Argyl player drop in two more points through the hoop during our first game of the season. The Royal’s scrappy guard, Mike Capobianco, throws a two-pointer in a close game with Notre Dame. GIRLS BASKETBALL Piusters Bronwin Gardner (10) and Joanne Guida rally to beat Wilson, rebounding the ball for a second shot, in the opening game of a victorious season. It goes up and in! Pius’ forward, Connie Sullivan (34), although heavily guarded, raises the score two points, while Notre Dame guards look on.

Philip Viglione scoops up a fast ball. Catcher Dave Paolini receives a perfect ball as a Belvidere pla yer charges and is out! Pius’ lead-off hitter and shortstop, George Giaquinto, loosens up. This paid off, for moments later he rifled a single into left field.

Thomas Sterlachini, Robert Renaldo, Joanne Sylvester, and Sandra Falcone pur- chase supplies from our con- scientious salesgirls, Mary Jo Zito, Carole Cascioli, and Wilhelmina Finta. Our sta- tionery store keeps Piusters supplied with pencils, pens, notebooks, and paper to help encourage better study habits. Efficient cafeteria aides, Thomas A. Caracio, Alfonso Giovanni, Joy Walter, Judy Bavaria, Donna Comunale, and Connie Sullivan, con- tribute to the smooth opera- tion of Pius’ cafeteria. Under Mrs. D’Imperio’s careful guidance, each has a special function — even clean-up chores! the greatness of Pius. Cleanliness, friendliness, and order are put into effect by the combined efforts of these loyal aides, With- out their co-operation and efficiency, progress at Pius would be definitely retarded. These are the individuals who show true school spirit; they are willing to work cheerfully and well to maintain regul arity in our care- fully planned organization. Pius X’s chief receptionist, Connie Sullivan, helps Miss Antoinette Tumolo sort the daily mail. The graciousness of our secretary and all our receptionists contributes much to the spirit of our school. Their cheerful smiles indicate that work for Pius is a pleasure! No one man in history has ever built an empire alone. Many seemingly unimportant jobs have been per- formed by people who often remain unnoticed. So it is with our “empire,” Pius X. Hence, we offer special tribute here to those unsung workers who help to bring about Advisors and Aides Promote Progress. Without the generous assist- ance of our willing Pius X Athletic Association, none of the great sports events, which have occurred through the years, could have been accomplished. These men pause for our photographer during the testimonial ban- quet which is an annual affair to honor our coaches and team. Our sincerest gratitude for their en- couragement!

Who do you think made all those posters that decorated old Pius High before the football games? Our “cheery” poster squad, of course. Father Loeper paid them a charming compliment by saying that what the posters lacked in artistry was made up in cleverness, Here our senior cheerleaders, Rose Mary Valletta, Darlene Rossigno, Nancy Schultz, and Janice Reto admire their handiwork after a poster-making session at Rosa’s home. Wednesday morning finds us Piusters assisting at our dialogue Mass. Alas for poor Michael Capobianco, whom our student shutterbug caught unawares!

PES aliiknat rita. a eet my So neon none Our 1960 graduating class was fortunate in having Dr. Graham as the guest speaker. He counseled them to be alert to the new era opening to them, and to go forth with courage to meet the challenge. The final step in our secondary education is the distribution of the diplomas—keys to | unlock the door to the world of tomorrow. | Last year’s seniors thrilled with excitement as each was called to receive that precious parchment.

Rose Mary Valletta, Philomena DiGiacomo, Judy Suprys, Daniel Powlette, Lucy Ann Renaldo, and Mar- garet Orlando are among those anxiously awaiting their rewards. As our May Queen, Patricia Guida, places the crown on the statue of Our Lady, her court prepares to lay their bouquets at Mary’s shrine. Janice Reto, Rose Mary Valletta, Mary Eleanor Caracio, Gene Fusakio, Frances DiPierro, Anna Perin, and Patricia Sullivan are the lovely princesses. Queen Patricia Guida lovingly crowns Mary while the student body of Pius X bursts forth in praise of Our Lady. Then they fervently recite her rosary as a “thank you” for all her care of them during the year. OUR FRIENDS Special Patrons Bangor Lumber Company Educational Association—Mt.
