This book serves as a standard ot judging to BY 'CRITERION 1946 'i those who do not attend Plum High. means ot this book, people can easily determine the high standards and ideals which prevail within the Walls ot Plum High. FIU THE SENIUH CLASS PRESENTS THE 19116 EHITEHIUN UF PLUM TUWNSHIP HIGH SIIHIJIJI. DEIJIEATIII We, the graduating class of nineteen hundred cmd forty-isx. dedicate this issue of the Criterion to those Plum Township High School Students who have lost their lives in this war. We cannot measure the extent of their sacrifice for there is no yard- stick to measure courage, loyalty, and suffering. We cannot repay them nor those they have left behind. Statues and Memorial Days are not enough. They knew and we know the cause for which they gave their all. Now it is up to us to see to it they did not win the war to have us lose the peace. With the memory of their selfless sacrifice constantly before us, we cannot fail. E J THE Fll H PHEEDUMS In the year nineteen hundred and forty-five, the most relentless and un- scrupulous war in history came to an end. Its conclusion made the countries of the World place a greater value on the blessings of freedom. At last,. every nation realizes that only a peaceful world can be a prosperous world. As a result, the Four Freedoms have been given a position of increasing importance in the attempt to establish an efficient world organization. Iust as our American democracy was founded on the ideals of Freedom of Speech. Freedom of Religion, Freedom from Want, and Freedom from Fear, an in- ternational peace organization must be based on these same principles if it is to function justly. How can we develop the Four Freedoms so as to shield and support the infant United Nations Organization and to insure the successful progress of this promised new and better world? Education is the only answer. It has been proved time and again that the success of democracy depends upon not only knowledge and ability, but even more important, the ideals of each and every citizen. Here is where education will function to the utmost advantage. Here the church and school will instill the ideals of justice, equality, rights of minorities, the dignity of every human being. And here they will purge racial and religious prejudices, selfishness and distrust. Education teaches the value of cooperation between individualsg now it must teach cooperation among nations. The school can reach more people and be most powerful in perpetuating the ideals summed up so well under the title Four Freedoms. Our future peace depends upon how extensively and wisely the school uses that power. aux r L ' N! C1 f ' .4195 H ff? 'La Y af-'155 '-is hgnx W 41 It O ,AS Nl 2:51 . 'V gif-'f.

The four years of high school have a life-long effect upon the student, for these years greatly alter his life. During this time the teachers are continually preparing him for the future by careful guidance and Willing assistance. The administration acknowledges its important part in forming the pattern of a student's life by providing him with every possible opportunity to success. Courses are steadily being added to the high school curriculum-com- mercial, agricultural and manual training for those students who will start to Work immediately after graduation. For those students who plan to attend college, the academic course has been made increasingly interesting. So with the knowledge that no one has been more capably prepared, the American youth is ready to assume his responsibility to society. But how does this preparation tie in with Freedom from Want? The responsibility the student has been trained to assume is not a responsibility to self or family but to community and nation. It takes on the form of an ideal or principle for which sacrifices are willingly made. It takes the form of a resolution that no one shall want so long as We have the ability to help, and the desire to share. A notion is mode- qreot, not by its t1:11ttuI amos, but by the men who cultivate them . . -Lyman Abbott GUY R. SMITH, Supervising Principal I. W. HORNBECK, Principal Grove City College, Ph. B.

For him, freedom of speech is taken for granted. He cannot comprehend what his life would be without it. Everyday in the classroom he may express his opinions freely. In turn fellow students' view- points are heard and discussed. Today's student even has a voice in the government of his school. He elects a student council which has the privilege of working with the ad- ministration to the benefit of the student body. Little does the average high school student realize that he is daily carrying out the great American ideal of Freedom of Speech. But whether or not he fully realizes the value of this right, it has done something for him and America which makes this country a haven for the persecuted. It has given him a spirit of tolerance and a quality of under- standing which has made possible unity among so many different races and creeds. S fffffff f r 1 Lars .i f .fl 4' il B ar T?

PRESCOTT Have four years passed already? Are We really leaving Plum High? My! It seems only yesterday that we were eager but quite frightened to become Plum's prize Freshies. But that timidity soon wore off and it Wasn't long before student body and faculty began to notice we were around. And We haven't given them a chance to forget us since. Why, before your Freshman year was over and throughout our entire Sophomore year, we were doing our share to make our school life at Plum a happy one. But it was in our Iunior year that the class of '46 really displayed its hidden talents. The Iunior Class Play, Lite Begins at Sixteen, was a swell play with very capable actors. Our ability to cooperate and assume responsibility really met the test when we held the Iunior-Senior prom and made it a sensational success. And We can hardly forget the pride We felt when six Iuniors were taken into the National Honor Society. As Seniors, more of our classmates were made members. And then, in December, a very talented cast gave a splendid performance in Spring Fever. Oh, my! We can't forget to give cr big hand to our athletes who have been outstanding in every contest. And remember, as our Senior year drew to a close, the banquet held for the Senior Class? How could anyone forget? It has been Work but it's been more fun. Our four years at Plum are ones we will always cherish with happy memories. . Sixteen ALEXANDER, Ioi-IN Buss . . .

SENIOR CLASS I tremble as I stand before my class assembled here: It isn't that I'm afraid, for there's nothing much to fear, But still within my being there is something tugs my heart. I tremble for tonight the class of forty-six must part. We've fussed about our petty little lessons o'er and oe'er, We felt we could not get our French, and History was a bore: And English-my, that Shakespeare stuff did surely drive us crazy. And as we went to shorthand class. our heads grew thick and hazy. But now as we look back along the aisle of high school days, We wonder why we took those things in such tormenting ways For after all we found the things that proved the most worthwhile, Were those that for attainment, hard work must beguile. I like to look ahead, and in my own mind behold, The pictures of my classmates as they strive upwards towards some goal, For I see in that great picture every student plays his part As in school-days, those who dawdle, those who work from morn till dark. Each one of us is master of his own and lorother's fate, But no one has the keeping of the parting at the gateg Yet we're always fellow students to the very end of time, So don't forget the horizon always widens as we climb. -NAoMi Ewmc Twenty Eight CLASS PHW PHEIIY Today, along with Lorraine Stotler, Editor of the Iune Henry Iournal, and Harry Walley. famed photographer, your correspondent had the pleasure of accompanying Governor Iohn Sheba. Senator Leicht, Secretary of Agricul- ture Bob Repp and their respective secretaries lean Ferguson, Elmira Potochnik and Ann Bre- vinsky to Plum Highlands, the newest most modern model community in Pennsylvania for a series of conferences and the dedication of its million dollar Civic Center. We arrived at ten o'clock in a helicopter piloted by Ioe O'Block, chief pilot for the Boggs and Fleming Handy Helicopter Lines. As we landed at the Butler terminal named in honor of Tom Butler, the internationally known aviator, the Governor's party was met by Mayor Henry Pawlik, County Commissioner Bill Farneth, President of the Women's Civic League, Iune Doak, and the youthful business tycoon, Andy Kaminsky. The Governor was then led by a motor es- cort headed by Chief of Police, Bill Spisak and Police Captain Iames Szuch down Fifth Avenue, past the Art and Science Building to the City Hall. The former building many of you will recall as the one where the world renowned physicist Andy Herceg, the equally famous aeronautical engineer Melvin Lux aided by assistants Iune Doak and Herman Muko, designed the first rocket ship capable of reaching the moon. Also in this building are the studios of those celebrated ultra- modernistic artists Elaine George, Helen Duran and Ida Daugherty. Upon their arrival at the City Hall, the Governor and Senator Leicht promptly went into a private conference with a group of distinguished businessmen and women includ- ing Iohn Bentz, Romona Duffey, Stella Ben- dick, Pat Barnes, Amelia Pivic and Russel Mc- Donald, President of the Chamber of Com- merce and labor leaders Harry Gaul, Vincent Skerl and Ioe Kukulski. The members of this conference were facilitated in their efforts by the noted economist Ed Bochman and his able staff of secretaries and statisticians Isabel Cline, Eleanor Farabaugh, Anna O'Block, Imogene Lipovitch and Virginia Favero. Simul- taneously, the Secretary of Agriculture, Bob Repp consulted privately with Ed O'Block, County Agriculture Agent and Auro Testa, Harvey Richardson and Henry Borish, leaders of the Progressive Farmers Union on the soil erosion problem. Immediately following the adjournment of these conferences, the Governor and his party retired to the Lillian Stadol Hotel to prepare for the banquet and dedication ceremonies which were to be held in the Civic Center. The Civic Center was designed by that brilliant architect, Frank Zucco. The funds for the erection of this magnificent structure were obtained by the people of Plum Highlands from various benefits which they held. Such celebrities as the popular comedienne Io Io Faix, movie stars Dorothy Snyder and Betty Goss, all who have at one time or another lived in Plum Highlands, contributed their time and energies toward this cause as also did Louise Schwab, the movie magnate. sr v At seven o'clock a municipal limousine conveyed the Governor and his party to the Civic Center. The banquet was a splendid affair. The menu, prepared by those illustrious chefs, Lavinia Simpson, Bertha Meyers, Pauline Galamoff and Alva Elliott, was delicious as few banquet menus are. The dedication program proved to be quite impressive with the Governor delivering a stirring speech. Included among those who took part in the program were Audrey Stoehr, the concert pianist who has just recently fin- ished scoring a brilliant success at Carnegie Music Hall and Iames Roberts the actor who last year received the Academy Award for his portrayel of Henry VIII. This program launched Plum Highlands on its way to be- coming an outstanding modern community.

Adjusting ourselves We held a skate which was very successful and made us proud of our accomplishments. As carefree Sophomores we found ourselves ac- customed to school routines. Our Sophomore year was rather inactive, but We showed our sports- manship by participating in athletics and other activities of the school. This year, being upperclassmen, we made it more eventful than our past years. As jovial Iuniors We are taking our place as an important group in school activities. We started our year with a Iunior Class Hallowe'en Party which proved our ability to cooperate with one another. The dance alter the Vice President .,.,. .. ....

We held an amateur hour with the purpose of bringing out the hidden talent in the school, and the lunior Class proved that the class of '47 is not devoid of Ienniler Ioneses and Gregory Pecks when it produced the Iunior Play. However, all these events were dwarfed by the huge success of the Iunior-Senior Prom, which was the closing event of the year.

Thhty Seven CLUBS 4 4 ACTIVITIES Catholic, Protestant, and Iew-Plum High School is fortunate to have representatives of all religious denominations. The close association ot these students in their clubs and other organi- zations has taught them deep appreciation oi their classmates' talents and the value ot their lasting friendships. Moreover they have come to respect a person for what he is, and not to shun him if he is not the same race or religion. Plum High School can well be proud for it has taught its students that nothing can hurt more than racial discrimination and nothing valued more than freedom of religion. tx 0 L tx Mx W They have Ielf unsfained what they found- Freedom to worship God, The Landing of the Pilgrim Fathers By Felicia Dorothea Hemans N NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY This year Plum Township High School cele- brated the sixth year of membership in the National Honor Society. In the past five years, forty-two students have entered their names in the Honor Roll Book. These students were chosen by the faculty on the basis of four qualities, namely, scholarship, leadership, service and character. Each year at an im- pressive candle light service the new members take the society pledge and sign their names in the book. Their pins are presented by Mrs. Agey, the sponsor of the National Honor Society. NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY I'- Vv, Boggs. H. Sommer:-. r. Mrs. Aga-V. STUDENT COUNCIL The aim of the Student Government Asso- ciation is to promote cooperation between stu- dents and the faculty and to regulate student activities. Two girls and two boys are elected from each class to serve on the council. The members of the Council and the home room representatives meet with Mrs. Agey, the ad- viser, every two weeks to carry on the busi- ness of the group. A representative group of students accom- panied Mr. Hornbeck on visits to neighbor- ing high schools. The purpose of the trips were to exchange ideas and to discuss stu- dent problems. The council also sponsored an evening performance of KDKA entertainers. STIIDENT COUNCIL Seatkdr If. Ijnmrlinik, C. Shmighvwssv, P. Crowley, I. Alcxamlvr. G. Vnvtko, A. lIt-frog. Mr:-. Aqcy.

Forty One CHRLS CHORUS Many times you have heard the strains of sweet music emerging from the auditorium. Oi course, it was the forty-eight combined voices ol the Girls' Chorus of Plum High School. These musically inclined young ladies meet every sixth period with their director, Mr. Swyers to learn the fundamentals of music. They become familiar with the principles of reading music, directing, theory, and ear training. The girls entertained the student body with a very impressive Christmas program. In Ian- uary, they were invited to present the musical program at the Plum Creek Valley Woman's Cub. The program consisted ot solos and choral numbers. We are proud that the Girls' Chorus is one ot the most active musical organizations in our high. school. BOYS' CHORUS First Row: I. Znvzttlftk. R. lmm, l.. Sprinkle, B. lltfksmt, R.

When it Was announced that a boys' chorus was being formed, approxi- mately forty boys reported and now com- prise the chorus. A number of the boys were picked to sing with the Girls' Chorus in our Christmas As- sembly. They sing folk songs and ballads and an occasional novelty tune. The chorus with Harry Gaul as its accom- panist, is fast coming into the limelight. We look for it to become a regular part of the school's activities. Forty Two T ... .,z...w..

Hi-Y members above all are taught to be unselfish and to show sportsmanship and char- ity to the other fellow. It is well worth the while for any boy to join this new club for under the leadership of Mr. Marsico the Hi-Y is planning big things in the future months. l BOYS' LEADERS CLUB Here are the athletic-minded boys in our school. Under the leadership of Mr. Haddick these boys learn the ethics of good sportsman- ship and the principle rules of all major and minor sports.

VARSITY CLUB The Varsity Club, under the sponsorship of Mr. Haddick, is the most exclusive club at Plum High, since membership in it is limited to those boys who have won a letter for their participation in some sport. This year from the proceeds of the sale of T shirts lettered Plum Hi Mustangs and from the presentation of the movie made of the Plum Hi-East Deer football game, Senior awards, emblems, and sweaters were pur- chased. The big event of the year was the Annual Minstrel show that was directed this year by Mr. Thorne and which ended a very successful and eventful year in sports at Plum High. - .1 1 TWIRLERS The Twirlers' Club under the able sponsor- ship of Mr. Thorne, is an auxiliary organiza- tion of the band. It is composed of a drill team plus a newly elected majorette section. The drill team will execute fancy and military marching and at the same time be a nucleus for future majorettes. Twirlers have been selected for our l946- l947 school year with the head majorette, Iane Farneth. It was a new idea this year. but everyone Will agree that is was a fine one. . s I2 I kinson, l, Dautovich. I Roman, V. Charvamxlk Cr. Nl. Gircllrh, Nl. Go:-is M. Whisncr. D. Constant P. Kerr.

Because of the large number of girls Who desired to join this active organization, the club was divided into two groups, a senior section tor the Iunior and Senior girls and a junior division composed of the Freshmen and Sophomore girls. These two groups were ably sponsored by Miss Diznoft and Miss Ranallo, respectively. t IUNIOR GIRLS' LEADERS F'rst Raw: Miss Ran' alle. Suhv. II. Prtcrncl. I.. Lcicht. R. Oiilork, D. Cnnsmnt. D.

It has par- tially materialized as they presented a movie in assembly introducing the students to the Wildlife of Pennsylvania. The film taught the protection and care of these animals and birds. The future plan of the club, under the able leadership of Miss Mondale, is to take trips into the mountains and gain first hand informa- tion about their interesting hobby. . g A by f .- is -ww- FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA Plum High is making its contribution to- ward the advancement of scientific farming and community betterment by its activities in the F. F. A. Under the capable supervision of Mr. Gis- mondi, a program of two classes daily and two days of shop or mechanical work a week has stimulated competitive activities and interest in better farming in Plum Township. In October a group of the club members with their adviser spent a week at Pennsyl- vania State College gathering information and techniques to further their work here at school.

This year We introduced the new litheograph type which not 'only saves space but allowed pictures to be used. The Hi Lites included items of in- terest concerning school life, a sports page, chatter, and the latest fashion news. As each issue went to press, we knew it represented a large amount of work for the staff and Mrs. Nahar, the adviser. We owe much of our success to the local merchants who provided us with funds by their advertisements. NEVVS STAFF First Row: ll bnvrlvx. ' Nlmwln l . nt V. . Y I nv. l..

No, American youth is now tree lrom the tear ot military training which would snatch him from high school. He may now finish those best years of his life. In America, athletics take the place of regimentation in building the body. Even more important is the part athletics play in developing a wholesome mind. For they have taught that no American need fear to tackle any obstacle, no matter how great it may seem, that defeat is no disgrace when the game has been fought fairly. For Americans consider a man greater it he has fought tor a princple and has lost than to have been afraid to tight at all. ti' :- unr- W 0' ur 3 O 4 . .

FOOTBALL TEAM Plum High School enjoyed the best football season in its history-Winning six out of ten games. The capable coaching of Mr. Haddick and Mr. Christy plus the fine team Work of all the boys deserve the credit for our fine football season. Coupling the speed of Iohn Alexander and Leo Cackowski with the power of Wayne Metro and Iohn Sheba, the Mustangs gave the opposing teams a hard battle. Wekluk's kicking and O'Block's plunging helped Plum outplay her opponents even in defeat. But success Was due to the splendid co-operation with these men by their team mates- Zucco, Boggs, Walley and Bentz. Next year Plum High will lose all those boys but they have set a sterling example of good playing and fine sportsmanship for the unlderclassmen Who so ably assisted them.

BASKETBALL TEAM When we say the Plum High Mustangs had their ups and downs in basketball this year, We aren't kidding. They were off to a flying start with seven consecutive wins to their credit but Export brought them to a sudden stop. However Plum played to win again only to have Oakmont tilt the scale back in the slump section. They continued for three games but you can't keep a good team down, especially the Mustangs So off they went on a winning streak again. And how sweet was their revenge when they dealt Oakmont her first defeat of the season in an outstanding performance. East Deer will never forget the scare Plum threw into their Sectional Crown hopes, nor will Verona forget the thrill of that over-time game which finally came our way. The season was concluded by a defeat at the hands of Penn High but in victory and defeat the Mustangs were very much in every game.

TRACK TEAM OF '45 Due to the fact that many schools cur- tailed their spring athletic program during the War, Plum Was unable to schedule a full track program With neighboring schools. ln a practice meet with Wilkinsburg, an AA school, We did exceptionally Well in the field events, getting a total of 30 points to 23 for Wilkinsburg. First places in these events Went to Leo Cackowski, discus throwing, Ed Yakshe, javelin hurlingg Marion Cackowski, pole vaulling and Harry Gaul, high jumping. In the runnlng events, Plum fared badly, get- ting just 2 points to 33 for Wilkinsburg. The final score was Wilkinsburg 56, Plum 32. On May 13th, Plum entered the Class B track meet at Clairton. The meet Was held under the most trying conditions for a heavy rain early that day had practically washed out the field and during the entire meet in- termittent showers made the going very difficult. Out of a total of l7 Class B schools, Plum placed 4th. This was noteworthy indeed when one realizes that We had an inexperienced squad and a very light spring schedule. The outstanding event of the day Was Dave Erzon's brilliant spurt in the last few yards of the mile run Which placed him first and gave him a chance to compete in the Pennsylvania State finals at Penn State. Another group to qualify for the finals at State College Was our 880 relay team, composed of Iohnny Alexander, Tom Butler, Eugene Montanari and Leo Cac- kowski, which came in third. The climax of the season was the trip to Penn State for the Pennsylvania State finals. Our 880 relay team and Dave Erzon made the trip. The finals were held in a setting reminiscent of the Clairton meet, dark and very damp. The outstanding performance of the day Was Erzon's sensational finish to Win for him and Plum a 3rd place ribbon in the mile run. This fine performance on Dave's part had con- testants and spectators on their feet yelling and cheering him on. In the 880 relay, our boys simply did not have it. They took last place, but they fought all the Way. All in all, it was a fine season and we can proudly say to the boys-Well done! Fifty Six l l r First Row: lVlr. llnnlrluk, B. Statler, U Bloyk. R.

We won all three games in the opening round, but lost two close ones in the final round, causing the section to end in a tie. Bell Township with whom we were tied, was defeated in a game played at New Kensington by a score of 10-U. ln the sectional play-off, we were less fortunate, since Hurst defeated us by a score of 9-5. One of the feature games of the season was the defeat of New Kensington to the tune of 12-1. This victory certainly added a large feather to Plum's cap. We are sorry that by graduation we have lost Wilbur Christy, Robert Lang, Paul Phillips and Marion Cackowski.

Marion Cackowski's last inning single to break up a pitching duel between Thompson of Franklin Township and Phillips of Plum. Leo CackoWski's one hitter against New Ken- sington. Wilbur Christy's consistent brilliancy around first base. Eugene Miskinis's catch of a long drive in the Saltsburg game. Wilbur Christy's and Leo Cackowski's out- standing hitting during the entire season. Fifty Seven GOLF TEAM 45 -Mr, lnloruhrulc. B. Sritt, W. Nletro. VV. Whlsner. K. Clark, A. Kaminsky. GOLF TEANI The second year of competition in golf proved no better than the first at Plum Hi, for we dropped all of the tive matches played. One man, Wayne Metro, was back from last year's team, He played in the fourth match, fol- lowed by Andy Kaminsky. Freshmen Bill Stitt and Ken Clawson were numbers one and two men respectively, While Bill Whisner rounded out the quintet as third man. The first match, against Oakmont was dropped: two were lost to Penn High district champs, and two to Butler High. The Oakmont Country Club was used as our home field while we traveled to Alcoma and Butler Golf Clubs. Against stiff competition Plum High put up a good fight. We are looking for improvement in each successive team and hope next year's golf team will meet all expectations. NT CHEERLEADERS They've got the pep, they've got the steam, they're pretty enough to inspire any team. Who? ? ? Why our cheerleaders, of course. Before every kick-off, at the sound of the whistle their vim and personality put the crowd and team in a cheering mood. They have backed the team in sunshine and rain, in success and defeat and we will miss the loyalty and sparkle of Lois Iackson, Lavina Simpson and Alice Langer next year. But even the best of leaders need the fine cooperation of the student body and it students and leaders con- tinue in this year's spirit, the next year promised bigger and better cheers, and more victories.

For alas, we are parting from all we hold dear, Kb From teachers, from classmates and all, 3 For now in this school our duties are U o'er. The voice of ambition doth call. Four years we have spent here to- gether, Four years of work and of play, Each striving to do what he learned here, Each doing his best every day. Now in the world we must wonder, Each following his star without rest, S Till we have arrived at our destination And earned for ourselves the best.

Now shed your tears cmd hide your fun, 9 Because they do expect it. This class you know so very well, There never was a kinder, About them all I cannot tell, But here's a good reminder. 9,622 Ray Wekluk is their president, A most important persong The girls all say He's sure some gent Without the least exertion. Henry Pawlik is noted for his grin, A most delicious crinklep And when a pretty girl comes in, His eyes begin to twinkle. 5.622 Harry Walley is a busy guy He's always on the go, Trying to make good people buy A ticket to some show. 'E Q I wish I'd grown about six feet 5 Cried Iimmy Szuch in despair, . The girls all say I'm too petit Boot Hoo! it isn't fair. J Iames Roberts too must be included, So handsome and so tall: For him the girls would gladly swoon, It only he would call. You've probably heard from time to time Ot the Senior Class nightingale, Miss Sommers with voice sublime To charm will never fail. George Fleming and Walter Boggs No matter what the weather From Monday until Saturday Are always seen together. Now here's a senior Henry Borish Whose marks are most exquisite To school he sometimes comes around! 19 lust to make a visit. Ed O'Block with a baby smile Stretched clear across his lace, Fair ladies all hedoes beguile And leads a merry chase. Now there are more I'd like to name Who shine in 'the annals of our class But remember all of us the same In all the Years That Pass. -Irene Starman '47 0 Seventy Eight E 3 7 .
