S. Y. A., Observation Post, and the organization and training of Air Raid Wardens and Auxiliary Police. We wish to express our appreciation to the citizens of our community who have so willingly taken part in these projects and organizations. We hope that this Criterion will be a contribution to the civic life and Democratic Spirit of our community. live' WE UEDIEATE 7M X943 G To one whose leadership, fellowship, and guidance has led us through These four years of memory-filled days and whose visions, hopes, and plans have been directed toward the mold- ing of our citizenship. 726 5 Glam tariff SIIHULAR ' TEACHER AND LEADER UE YEIUTH E F I JOHN LEWIS TREVASKIS Principal of Plum Township High School jmbf Jw,-.ZX 'k 'A' 'k 'k i' IIIQIMMAND ji., Q93- ,Z ,f5ff'7T11'5-,. - .

Filled with significance are my colors of red, white and blue, into which have been woven the strength and courage of American manhood, the love and loyalty of American womanhood. Stirring are the stories of my stars and stripes. I symbolize the soul of America, typifying her ideals and aspira- tions, her institutions and traditions. I reflect the wealth and grandeur of this great Land of Opportunity. I represent the Declaration of lndependence. I stand for the Constitution of the United States. I signify the Law of the Land. I tell the achieve- ments and progress of the American people in art and science, invention and commerce, transportation and industry. I wave ex- ultantly over the schoolhouses of the Land, for Education is the Keystone of the Nation and the school-room is my Citadel. I am the badge of the Nation's greatness and the emblem of its Destiny. The symbol of all we are, all we hope to be, I am honored and revered by all who know me. Believing in me, my people sing in prose and poetry the things for which I stand. Insult Me, and Millions Will Spring to My Defense! .IAM THE AMERICAN FLAG! 1.16.-.

Miss Sohn Treosurer Mrs Agey SENIOR CLASS HISTORY On October 3, I939, we entered Plum Township's new high school building. As the only Freshmen, upperclassmen could not tease us for they, too, roamed the brand new halls with a bewildered expression when they thought themselves unobserved by us. We are proud of the distinction given us by being the first class to complete four years here. Our second year saw us well established in the routine and curriculum of the school. As dignified Sophomores we set a perfect example to the dazed Freshies and made their life miserable by letting them know how small we thought them. The Junior Class Dance was our first class activity and served to start us rolling through the year with amazing, rip-roaring successes. One of the high spots was our class play, TRY IT WITH ALICE. We finished the year off by sponsoring, in honor of the Seniors, the Junior-Senior Prom, thus giv- ing one more bright memory for the records. We have at last attained our long-dreamed-of role, but with graver faces than any preceding Senior Class. We have willingly given up many activities in an effort to help protect the country we love. But we have car- ried on even though many of our class are no longer with us-some have answered the call to the armed forces of the United States, others have felt duty call them to defense jobs. We are proud to know that we, the class of 1943, have helped in some small way to make a lasting peace. -17- 2 .M e l 2 7- l Kitt' Q l Jean Alexander Audrey Allshouse Jildo Antonelli John Babl Anna Jeanne Ball Bernadine Bashiourn Albert Bentz Dorothy Beveridge Frances Binkley Ralph Black Bernaclme Bobshosky Albert Bagaty Donald Boggs Valeria Borish Geraldine Boyer Violet Brychowsky Geraldine Burford Marjorie Burns Albert Chamrad Thelma Christy 35 .f A 'mi f 1 5 VTYSV .- av- 7- A3 'W fi -'pb ,W ix ' Fr' MQ, A A vw ' ' W GRADUA J EAN ALEXANDER National Honor Society . . .

Miss Mondale JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY We entered school this year feeling a little more sophisticated since we were considered upperclassmen. We had our first class meeting and elected Pearl Truby as president, Walt Holmes, vice president, and Edna Kirch, secre- tary. Daniel Bonitsky and Regis Rusnock were elected as Student Council Representatives. Mrs. Mitchell was chosen class adviser and Miss Mondale, treasurer. At our next meeting we decided to have a dance. This being the first dance sponsored by our Junior Class, we were surprised to find our profits to be the highest of any dance held at Plum Hi. Our next project was the selling of cakes and cookies during the Christmas season. Many of our classmen were on the varsity football, basketball, baseball, and track squads. The Junior Class this year won the inter-class basketball tournament. As is our custom, the Junior Class sponsored a prom in honor of the graduating class of I943. We are all looking forward to being the graduating class of I944. -23- JUNIOR GIRLS First Row-L. Holmes, T. Golletti, A. Miller, V. Keibler, J. Gregg, B. Davis, E. Shephard, J. Randolph, D. Grosz, E.

But for all our inactivity we did hold a skate and we did buy our share of War Stamps. Our class, as Sophomores this year, at its first meeting, re-elected Wal- lace McJunkin as class president. George Pochan and Melvin Uhrin were elected vice president and secretary respectively. Miss Williams was class adviser. We fared rather well in the Inter-Class Basketball Tournament, playing in the finals. This year as last, we bought War Bonds and Stamps and we think we held our own. In ending this year we look forward to our next session at Plum Hi with a bit of a gleam in our eye and a little conceit in our souls, because next year we're Juniors! SOPHOMORE BOYS First RowfW.

Miss Foy FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY We Freshmen haven't much history to tell but we are progressing in fine fashion. We didn't know how to act in a big building like Plum Twp. High School, but we finally learned. . The first thing we did was to elect our class officers and advisers. We elected John Alexander as our presidentg Andrew Herceg, vice presidentg Betty Bouma, secretaryg and as Student Council members: Loraine Stotler and Wayne Metro. Miss Foy is our adviser. Our greatest accomplishment of the year was making handbooks for the Freshmen coming into Plum High so they can learn about the activities and something about each course. We also led the school in War Stamp pur- chases. We hope that we can be successful in our three years to come in Plum Twp. High School. .. 32 .. FRESHMAN GIRLS First Row-E. George, E. J. Stolting, L.

This year the staff sent each edition of the Plum Hi Lites to our teachers and alumni who are in the armed forces. Some new features of the paper this year were a fashion column, a personal column on sports, tag letters, and monthly short stories. Underclassmen are continuing to show more interest in the news- paper and this feature in itself is encouraging. STUDENT COUNCIL This year's Student Council, under the guid- ance of Mr, Beckert, made rapid strides to- ward becoming the most active organization in our high school. A room has been arranged for council purposes and we take great pride in our meetings and accomplishments. Our group has accepted the responsibility of conducting and coordinating many school activities. Some of these are as follows: hall patrol, lost and found, club administration, lunch patrol, members delegated to act as wel- coming committees to visitors, teams, and new students, the activity award presentations, mov- ies, and various other activities of great inter- est to all students. A demonstration was giv- en in assembly of a typical meeting and this was a great help in convincing each student that he or she has a voice in school affairs. We stand for free thought, free speech, and cooperation between students, faculty, and ad- ministration. 1. ,. CII, , 5111! Ing XX. Ilullllvs. l'.

CAMERA CLUB The Camera Club was greatly affected by the absence of Mr. Frack, our faculty leader and adviser of the Camera Club, but we know that the U. S. Army got a good soldier and we of Plum High School are proud of him. We have carried on under the leadership of Mr. Max- well, who has taken over the responsibility of the club in Mr. Frack's absence. During our club meetings we have discussed the taking, developing and printing of pictures, but cir- cumstances have not permitted any actual printing or developing. We have gone outdoors on several occasions and also to the gym during the basketball tournaments between the clubs to take pictures. We hope that the Camera Clubs to come will follow in the footsteps of the clubs that have gone before them.

Club was organized in the spring of i940 with the object in mind set forth by our motto: Learning to do, Doing to learn, Earning to live, Living to serve. During the last season the club has made a special effort in the fulfillment of our motto. During the fall of l942 a considerable amount c-f work was done by the club in helping the farmers, Such work as husking corn, making cider, butchering, and grafting was done. Each member carried on a project during the year, such as swine, poultry, vegetable gardens, calves, home improvements. This is how the club purposes were accomplished. K. P. KLUB Our club was formerly the Home Economics Club. K. P. stands for Kitchen Police and we do kitchen police duties because we enjoy do- ing them. The objects of this organization are to de- velop interest in cooking and sewing and to develop interest in standards of home and family life to further social activities. We serve luncheons to other clubs on spe- cial occasions. Now we are knitting squares for the Red Cross to help in the war effort. During the winter months we prepared and sold several hot dishes for the school in the cafeteria. K. P. KLUB l i39l NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY on 1, Iliiiklcy. Y. Ilnrisli. Al. ,Xlcxziliilt-1 I .

They have attained the goal for which every ambitious student aspires, To them is given the highest honor the school can bestow on members of the Junior and Senior classes. THE LITER The Literary Circle has been very busy this year under the sponsorship of Miss English. For the first two months of school we were engaged in preparing an assembly program which was dramatized during Book Week. After that our meetings consisted of routine duties such as keeping the library scrap book up to date, keeping the magazine files in good Chosen for Scholarship, Leadership, Service, and Character, they were admitted into the scciety during an impressive assembly pro- gram, In this group are the leaders of our school and they take part in almost all of the school activities because they are the most capable and dependable. ARY CIRCLE order and mending worn out books. We read and gave comments during club period on new books which came into the library. Throughout the year members of the club have helped Miss English keep books in order on the shelves, checked books in and out, and made out fine notices, reserve slips, etc. The Circle hopes to enlarge its program and increase its activities as facilities will permit. 40 -- btziiiiliiig R.

P. stands for Kitchen Police and we do kitchen police duties because we enjoy do- ing them. The objects of this organization are to de- velop interest in cooking and sewing and to develop interest in standards of home and FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA The Colden Eagle Chapter of the F. F. A. Club was organized in the spring of l94O with the object in mind set forth by our motto: Learning to do, Doing to learn, Earning to live, Living to serve. During the last season the club has made a special effort in the fulfillment of our motto. During the fall of i942 a considerable amount of work was done by the club in helping the farmers. Such work as husking corn, making cider, butchering, and grafting was done. Each member carried on a project during the year, such as swine, poultry, vegetable gardens, calves, home improvements. This is how the club purposes were accomplished. . KLUB family life to further social activities. We serve luncheons to other clubs on spe- cial occasions. Now we are knitting squares for the Red Cross to help in the war effort. During the winter months we prepared and sold several hot dishes for the school in the cafeteria, K. P.

NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY These carefully selected few have met the high standards of the National Honor Society. They have attained the goal for which every ambitious student aspires. To them is given the highest honor the school can bestow on members of the Junior and Senior classes. THE LITER The Literary Circle has been very busy this year under the sponsorship of Miss English. For the first two months of school we were engaged in preparing an assembly program which was dramatized during Book Week. After that our meetings consisted of routine duties such as keeping the library scrap book up to date, keeping the magazine files in good Chosen for Scholarship, Leadership, Service, and Character, they were admitted into the society during an impressive assembly pro- gram. ln this group are the leaders of our school and they take part in almost all of the school activities because they are the most capable and dependable. ARY CIRCLE order and mending worn out books. We read and gave comments during club period on new books which came into the library. Throughout the year members of the club have helped Miss English keep books in order on the shelves, checked books in and out, and made out fine notices, reserve slips, etc. The Circle hopes to enlarge its program and increase its activities as facilities will permit. 40- Si-aitulr vl. llli-tru.

We fol- low the Red Cross First Aid Manual and teach our members accordingly. Instructions on arti- ficial respiration and bandaging are accom- WHLDL Some of the usual activities of the Wildlife Club have been curtailed during the past year due to the rationing of gasoline and tires. But we have managed to carry on our local activi- ties. We have not been able to have group feeding parties, but instead have had regional committees whose responsibilities and duties have been to care for the feeding sta- panied by demonstrations that make instruc- tions clearer and more helpful because of ac- tual experience gained. First Aid is a very useful thing for every student to know and we hope that the time will come when every stu- dent will be so trained and thus benefited by this course. IFE CLUB tions in the various parts of the township. Our social activities consisted of several gatherings at homes of different members. High-lighted among these was the initiation of new members last fall. We are making plans to have a reunion of active Alumni and honorary members some- time after the war is over.

The development of leaders is stressed and the fellows soon lea rn to accept the respon- sibilities and duties so essential to the physical education program. A club basketball tourna- ment revealed a fine spirit of competition be- tween clubs, and helped to interest the whole student body in basketball. A number of our members are now actively participating in track. Our physical fitness program proves that we are training excellent leaders. LEADERS' CLUB--GIRLS This club is for girls who have an interest in sports. Members played competitive basket- ball games with other clubs for experience and entertainment. The club sponsored a contest to obtain new school cheers and football yells. Between activities, the girls learned how to participate fairly and successfully in school sports. We purchased mirrors for the girls' locker room. Good sportsmanship and cooper- ation within the team were emphasized. A patriotic drive to obtain clothes hangers for soldiers climaxed a year of cheerful activity. ts tim' bl. Yzilt-iicw. .X. Rzulvzlii- ni , . Iligzi y. .. iivcy. .. af, .. l:u1ci'.

During the club year the members gave a dance after the big Plum-Penn game. lt was PUBLIC The aim of the Publicity Club is to serve other clubs by publicizing their activities through the circulation of posters drawn by the club. We gave a service flag to the school in order to pay tribute to those members of the faculty and former students who are now in a big success and the club put the profit to good use by buying books for the soldiers' can- teen in Pittsburgh. The purpose of the club is to try to improve the members' personality and social activities. ln accordance to the purpose and achieve- ments the club held a private ceremony dur- ing which the members were formally accept- ed. Each was presented with a club pin and membership card. ITY CLUB service. Included in our activities, we spon- sored a movie, Blockade, to which we gave free tickets to members of the home room which bought the most War Stamps and also to the winning team of the inter-class basket- ball tournament.

Siu-lol, BAND The band this year, under the directorship of Mr. Maxwell, has given some very fine per- formances, in assemblies, at football games, basketball games, and several plays. This year the band has 25 pieces, an increase over last year, and we hope it will continue to grow. Special recognition should be given Richard Thompsonn, Charles Cumpston, and Eugene GNL? The Girls' Chorus, handicapped by necessary schedule changes, has been unable to perform as often as usual this year. We cooperated with the Girl Reserves and the Speech Class in McKenna for their leadership in Mr. Maxwell's absences during the football and basketball season. Such patriotic marches as Over There, Anchors Aweigh, Marines' Hymn, Cais- sons Go Rolling Along, Army Air Corps, and 'Grand Old Flag, have been our specialty.

FOOTLIGHTS CLUB This is one of the more active clubs in the school. ln view of the transportation situation, the club has adjusted itself quite admirably. Interesting meetings are held during club per- iods in which its own members contribute to the program. Plays are presented to the stu- dent body as assembly programs thus enabling its members to receive the constructive prac- tice afforded in other less difficult years. During the term, representatives of the club attended performances presented in near-by schools and also one Shakespearean play at the Carnegie Drama School. The club pays for all or part of the admission fee and expects its members to bring back criticisms of the plays. The Footlights Club and the Literary Circle combined efforts and made National Book Week a memorable one in Plum High by pro- ducing skits from the famous books, Uncle Tom's Cabin, See Here, Private Hargrove, Captain Blood, and Tom Sawyer. Likewise the club cooperated with the Com- mercial Club to produce the play Boss vs. Secretary, a guidance program for assembly. The feature presentation of the year was Meet the FamiIy. Other plays presented in assembly were Stranded in Luck, The Trial of Ain't, and Holiday Tempest. All the productions were made successful through the cooperation of the Stage Crew. J. Metro, W. Sommers, R. Block, N. Lopoto. STAG The play must go on is the aim of the Stage Crew. This group of four boys are the handy men of the auditorium. They are in charge of operating the slide projector, the movie projector, lights, curtains, and scenery for assembly programs. They set the stage, E CREW see that it is ready for the actors exactly on time, and then step quietly backstage. These boys deserve a great deal of credit because it is their hard work and fine cooperation that make things run smoothly. TRY lT WITH ALICE Presented by the Class of '43 Under the direction of Cpl.

The offensive plays of Lapato and the defensive work of Black was an inspiration to the rest of the squad. Reviewing the season, we find the fellows off to a bad start by losing to a powerful East Deer team 31-6. Next we lost to a much larg- er and heavier Perry team, 30-O. Of the next five games, we won three, first defeating Mars l3-O, which served to uplift the spirit and en- thusiasm af our boys. The second was won from Sharpsburg, 28-13. The third straight game was won from Verona, I3-O. This was one of the toughest battles fought and won. The next game we had a bad day and Penn's boys beat us 40-O. Our boys were outclassed, but fought to the last minute. The last game was a night game played at Oakmont in mud, ice, and snow. lt was a tough game to lose be- cause after leading 6-O, a reversal of form led us to a l9-6 defeat. When all the scores were tallied, we found that we won three out of five class B games. Even with a green varsity held together by a nucleus of three holdovers, the boys drew many long, loud cheers from the crowd because of their snappy maneuvers and cleverly executed plays. Only a few boys leave us this year, and we are looking forward to a much better season next year. 53- Stonding-R. Simpson, R. Rusnock, W. Christy, M. Kuzma, A. Pellish, W. Holmes, R. Thomp- son, R.

BASKETBALL SQUAD Establishing themselves as the best basket- ball team in our short athletic history, the Beckert-coached floormen finished the l942- 43 season with a record of lO wins and 8 losses. We were defeated only once upon our home floor. This loss was suffered at the hands of Oakmont who went to the finals in the W. P. l. A. L. play offs. Employing a fast-breaking style of play, we broke the nine-game winning streak of Export by the score of 42-33, scored wins over Wil- merding and East Deer for the first time in Plum High history, and highlighted our season by trouncing our biggest rival, Penn Township. Our three co-captains will be missing from next year's team. Nick Lapato and Albert Chamrod will enter the armed services im- mediately upon graduation, and Russell Nesbit is already serving in the U. S. Army, having left us in mid-season. Five lettermen, Black, Thompson, Kuzma Pellish, and Bonitsky, will report next season, but they will be hard pressed for starting posi- tions by other experienced boys, namely: Wait- kus, Rusnock, Sweet, and Metro. With these experienced boys available we are looking for- I ward to another successful season. BASKETBALL SCH EDULE Plum 25 , Faculty 23 Plum 27 . ..

JUNIOR The war and its resulting transportation dit- ficulties made it impracticable to play a long Junior Varsity schedule. Although the squad was organized at the beginning of the season, they played only a few games, yet they showed true Plum Twp. spirit, This group served as practice material for the varsity and gave them plenty of competition as well as entertaining VARSITY the spectators in preliminary games. Coach Maxwell uncovered some fine prospects for next year's varsity. As many as fifty boys re- ported for try-outs and some of the standouts are as follows: Wilbur Christy, Edward Yakshe, George Pochan, Paul Phillips, Marion Cackow- ski, Wayne Metro, and John Alexander.

Although we were unable to defeat these veteran teams, we provided them with stubborn competition. Since track and field is a new sport in our school program, we are sure, as our students become more interested, we will be able to compete successfully with other established teams. In competition many of our boys showed to advantage. Among these were: Vandzura and Nesbit, 880-yard runners, Thompson, 440-yard sprinter and discus throw- er, Vanery, 220-yard and lOO-yard dashes and broad jumper, Yvorra and Bonitsky, milers, Chada and Randolph, pole vaulters, Smith, high jumper, Black and Kornuchuck, shot, and Krusper, javelin.

Wins were scored at the expense of Avon- more, Franklin Twp., Etna, and all other teams we met except Bell Twp., sectional winners. Our team of 1943 has many promising pros- pects and hopes to pick up where we left off EB ALL at the end of l94l when we entered the W. P. I. A. L. semi-finals. Missing from the team of l942 will be Shalenko, Saksek, Cray, Borosick, and our veteran coach, Mr. Haddick, who en- listed in the U. S. Coast Guard where he is coaching baseball. Mr. Haddick's position as Plum High's baseball coach will be filled by one of our new teachers, Mr. Callaschun. -57- 'Hn Y? ,qnpdvll 4-4: Eff,-Q, .ln Q14 Maj? f f K.
