J,-5 Suze mineieen gorfy Un THE FIRST GRADUATING CLASS OF PLUM TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL RECORDS FOR POSTERITY, THE STUDENT LIFE FOR THE YEAR 1940-1941, IN THE PAGES OF ERIIIEIIIUN eclication . Dedicated to our parents whose self sacrifice, vision, and love have inspired and encouraged us in our search for truth and understanding. It is the tendency of youth to gradually push their parents into the background in their eager- ness to develop their own personalities. As we are beginning to grc-w older we are gradually learning that it is they who fight our fights, do the worrying, and pay the bills. They are the persons to whom should go the honors we think are ours. They are proud of us. Let us be worthy of their pride.

Kerr Endslow, B.S., University of Maryland THE HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 41 On October 3, l939, we came to- gether for the first time, after spending two years in other high schools, in the new and nearly completed building which was to be known as Plum Township High School. Not long after school began, we held our initial class meeting. Werner Stresky was elected president, Wil- liam Simpson vice president, and lvah Muffley as secretary. Mr. Gage was elected our class adviser. This meeting organized the first graduating class of Plum Twp. High School. We soon became acquainted with our new building, our teachers, and our fel- low classmates. Clubs were organized and many members of our class were elected to various offices. Student Council was organized with the following elected as our first representatives: William Farkas lloter succeeded by John Connl, Heil Truby, and Bet- ty Davidson. Plum High's new basketball team got underway with several of our members an the varsity. We cheered with the rest when Plum High, in its first basketball game, defeated Export by a score of l7-l6. Our class held the first high school skate at the Trocarino on January 25, l94O. This was a great success and we were really proud of ourselves that night. We started the second semester in a nearly complete equipped building. We had our auditorium seats now and teachers' desks, and gym bank boards. March ll, l94O, will be remembered as the day we received the first order of our class rings. We strutted the halls all day with our hands extended displaying those keen class rings of ours. As our first year at Plum High drew to a close, we held our second big skate, on June 3, l94O. This time it was at the National. We certainly did some fancy skating and flops on that eventful eve. Our Class Night was held on June 20, l94O. How we did shudder at the spooky movie that was part of our program! We celebrated that night for the next day was the last day of school. This last day closed our first year at Plum High. After our vacations we were glad to start back to our final year of high school. We were Seniors and how we shouted for joy! At the first class meet- ing of the year we elected Roy Hartzell as president, Frank Zalac as vice president, and Sara Thomas as secretary. Miss Sohn was elected as sponsor, and Mr. McJunkin as faculty treasurer. Our Student Vice President .. Secretary . Faculty Adviser . Faculty Treasurer SENIOR OFFICERS President . ., . . . . , ,. . Roy Hartzell Council representa- tives were John Conn, William Simpson, and Betty Davidson. Later, in December, Student Council was reorgan- ized and our repre- sentatives for the re- mainder of the year were Betty Davidson, Jane Eiler, and John Jameroone. Our first event of the year was a re- cording dance held on September 20, l94O. Then too, the annual staff started its long year's work on Plum High's Criterion, Early last No- vember we come to school dressed in our Sunday-go-to-meeting clothes for that was the day we had our Senior pictures taken. November 22 was a red-letter day for us. We presented the first Senior class play, Parents' Holiday. We puffed out our chests with pride when we heard our audi- torium fill with roars of laughter. The play was truly a big success. We held a skate at the Trocarino on November 27. As true of all our skates, it was o success. We ended i940 by selling basketball schedule pencils. During January we held recording dances after the Friday evening games. These dances were fol- lowed by the Senior Heart Hop on February l2. Angelo Baldi's orchestra furnished the music for our swinging and swaying. On March l7, we held our last big skate at the National. We were a happy crowd that night. On March 27 and 28 we presented the Senior Footlight's Club play, Here Comes Charfie. It was a produc- tion that any Senior class would be proud of. Now, with all these happy events but pleasant memories, we look forward to the Junior-Senior re- ception on Moy 23, which of course, is always one of the highlights of the year in any school. The Senior boys are pondering who they will ask, and the girls are wondering whether the right one will ask them. Then will come the climax of our four years in high school-graduation week! Baccalaureatte on June l, followed by Class Night on June 2, and then finally, June 4 will bring graduation night and our diplomas. How proud we will be while we are wear- ing our purple and gold caps and gowns! After graduation, what then? Some of us will go on to college, others will find jobs, and, of course, there will be marriage for many of the girls. Who knows? America will be honoring some of its greatest citizens and, perhaps among them there may be names of graduates of the first graduating class of Plum Township High, the Class of '4l. --Claude Gould . , Frank Zalac .

We elected our officers in the first part of the year. Dominic Zandona was elected our first president, Melvin Promosic our vice president, and Susan Kertis was our secretary-treasurer. We were strong sup- porters of the many activities of our first year at Plum Hi. We started our second busy year at Plum by electing our Junior Class officers, with Dominic Zandona elected as our president again, Mike Mondale as vice president, and Susan Kertis re-elected as secretary. We were again part of the backbone of the school in supporting many of the school ac- tivities. We often wished that the Seniors were out of the way. Our big activities of the year included the Skirt and Sweater Swing on April 30 and the big Prom that we held for the Seniors on May 23. Now we are looking forward to our big Senior year and then our final goal--graduation. , X K t ll ls 5: rim ,f if 23- SOPHOMORE OFFICERS President ......,...,...

The old joy of ribbing the Freshies was denied the other students because they were as lost in this building as we were. We hardly realized the year had started until it was over and we had become Sophomores. No longer green, we began this year with the hope of becoming sophisticated Sopho- mores. No hope, it just wasn't in us. We had the thrill of watching our first football team open the season with a victory. Through the remainder of this and basket- ball season we cheered for the team. Then we attended the first big Senior Play. We all resolved to someday hold the center of the stage. Once again exams caught us and we were now p tically Junior class members. f -25- N rf X-u 'tc Faculty Treasurer . FRESHMAN OFFICERS President . . , . Regis Rusnock Vice President . . . .

To remedy this situation a Student Council was formed. ln the first year, one member from each home room served as representatives. This plan proved very unsatisfactory. When the constitution was adopted, it provided for three representatives from each class. Under the sponsorship of Mr. Pero and Miss McJunkin this organization rapid- ly gained power. A president, Betty Davidson, three vice presidents, Betty Davis, Rose Subic, and John Jameroone, were elected to lead the council. A secretary who has no vote was provided for. lvah Muffly now fills this office. -23- Soon this organization had committees governing clubs, hall patrols, and activity points. The Student Council had complete charge of the Wednesday Penny Dances, a very popular function in school life. ln April a group of seven members attended a con- vention in Greensburg where they learned how other councils were organized and the powers they controlled. Student Council sponsored a tree plant- ing project in the spring. ln all, a total of ten trees were planted by various clubs. All in all Student Council feels that they have accomplished much in this year of school. NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY The National Honor Society of Secondary Schools was founded by the National Asso- ciation of Secondary School Principals in I92I. While it is not an old organization, it has made great progress since its found- ing. There ore now twenty-five hundred local chapters. The founders of this movement originally established the Society to stimulate the scholarship, leadership, service, and char- acter of the students in the schools of our country. As it has grown larger and its scope has become wider, its remote objec- tive has become that of raising the stand- ards of our schools. lt is the present hope ofthe living founders to direct and to center the enthusiasm of the youth of our land, and as they in turn take their places in the world, they will raise our high schools to levels of more effective service by training young people within their sphere of influ- ence. It is the hope of each school that organ- izes a chapter of National Honor oci l that it will serve to create an enthusiasm for scholarship throughout the school, it will encourage a desire on the part of the pupil to render service to the school and to the community, it will help the pupil to evaluate himself and to see if there are ele- ments of leadership within him, it will act as a stimulus to the student to watch those acts that develop character. The constitution of the Plum Township High School chapter was accepted and the charter granted October I6, l94O, The members were chosen by the Society's standards for scholarship Ca B average or betteri, leadership, service, and character. This is the highest honor our school bestows u n itslstudents and should be the goal of ev r enior, Junior, Sophomore, and Fresh- The faculty council is made up of the principal, Mr. Trevaskis, and three teach- ers, Miss Eversole, Miss Sohn, and Mr. Shearer.

As our own athletic field was not ready for use, we played all games away. This disadvantage, as well as the inexperi- ence of many of our players, is one reason why our season's record reads, One win, one tie, and five losses, Despite this record we all feel that this team may claim a fair measure of success. The experience gained in this year's games should make our team stronger next year despite the fact that the twelve mem- bers of this squad will be lost either through graduation or as a result of recent age regu- lations of the W.

Some will be alumnig others Albert Mangine- Zubby, our Junior center died this winter His cheerful cooperation and sincere effort are sorely missed by all his friends both on the field and off Andrew Czubiak- Ansey played quarterback. He called plays and blocked well. He was safety man on defense. Fred Rusnock- Rooster was a valuable backfield per- former. He played the position of half and quarter- back. Charles Haddick--He was one of our regulars at half- back. He was a hard runner and left-handed passer. Dominick Zandono- Dom was still another of our first string backfield men. He played halfback and was a very hard runner, a good passer and kicker. Howard Lamont- Hun played a lot of football at center this year. He was o good line backer on de- fense. Pete Kornechuk- Pete put in most of the season at guard but he also played tackle, He was a defensive star in several goal-line stands. Frank Lapofo- Pete, our masked rnarvel, at fullback was very good at hitting the line and a vicious tack- ler on defense. Mike Stangle-Mike got a late start in football but played a lot of tackle and some guard in our later games. He was hard to take out of plays. George Motto-George was a regular at tackle. Few plays went through George's position. He was also a good offensive player. Paul Myers-Our explosive guard who could usually be found in other teams' backfield. He was one of our hardest workers and a defensive star. Mike Mondale--Mike was an outstanding tackle who threw opponents for many losses. He was equally good on defense and was the honorary captain for the year. -45 I O 'Q BASEBALL ,Q 4 l'irst1'nw: Bl. Primnzic. 5. Horwatt. Mr. Hrulrlick. F. Rusnnck. Nl, Nlnmlalc.

This book contains the picture and record ot last spring's baseball group. Our baseball team last year used the Renton diamond as its home field. ln our first year ot competition we played teams from Braddock, Turtle Creek, and Franklin Township in non-league competition.

This is one of the most active clubs in the school, The purposes of this organiza- tion are to promote a higher type of dra- matic art, to advance a better appreciation of drama, and to establish a higher educa- tional and social club within the school. lt has many regular monthly meetings in which a definite program is followed. Many interesting speakers were heard and o num- ber of short plays given. Besides learning President . . . Vice President . . . Secretory ..,, Treasurer . . . . , the principles of acting they also studied stage setting and makeup. The project for this term was the three-act comedy, Here Comes Charlie, given in cooperation with the Senior Class. A large part of the pro- ceeds was used tor scenery which will be used for future plays. All in all this club has proved itself valuable to the school and to its members. . . Werner Stresky . .

The whistle blows and the figures on our new electric scoreboard roll up two more points tor Plum Hi. We are winning an- other basketball game. The team finished third in our section of the W. P. l. A. L. this season with nine wins and tive losses. We lost two of these games by one point and one by two points so with a little luck we might have done much bet- fer. In non-league games we didn't do so well. ln fact we lost twelve-all we played. Our season's record reads: 9 Won - l7 Lost SCHEDULE AND SCORES Plum2l ,, Plum 9 . Plum l7 ..

Four are Seniors and the other three will be ineligible. Among John Teeak-- Tets was one of our players who hit his stride this year. He saw much action and turned in some brilliant games. He will be missed when the going gets rough next season. Howard Lamont--Although not a regular, Howard, known as Hun, was always ready in case he was needed. Hun was always in there plugging, trying hard for a chance to help Plum on to victory. Dominick landona- Dom was one of our most spirit- ed players-always played hard and well no matter what the score. He was also one of our high scorers and well known for his sportsmanship. Steve Horwatt--Co-Captain of Plum High's team, was high scorer. When Steve let go that ball, look out for that bucket, boys! When playing Plum all the op- ponents were on the watch for him. Charles Haddick--Better known as Chas, was also Co-Captain of Plum High's team. There was never a dull moment with him in the game, Both defensively and offensively, he was always a worry to Plum's opponents. George Mat-to--Better known as Murph, was always in there fighting for Plum Hi. When that ball was in the air, you could be sure that George was there to get it. He was a very good defensive player. Mike Mondale- Mike has been a letterman for two years now. Not a high scorer, but he played a guard position very well. He was one of the fastest men on the squad. these seven are several of Plum's outstand- ing players of the last two seasons and all will be very hard to replace. 55- !
