Port Allegany Union High School - Tiger Lily Yearbook (Port Allegany, PA)

Text from Pages 1 - 92 of the 1951 volume:

ALMA MATER Although Yale has always favored The violet’s dark blue, And the gentle sons of Harvard To the crimson rose are true, We will own the lily slender; Nor honor shall it lack While Port Hi stands defender of The Orange and the Black. Through the four long years of high school Mid the scenes we know so well, As the mystic charm to knowledge We vainly seek to spell. Or we win athletic victories On the football field and track. Still we work for dear old Port Hi and The Orange and the Black. When the cares of life o’ertake us Mingling fast our locks with gray, Should our dearest hopes betray us False fortune fall our way; Still we banish care and sadness As we turn our memories back, And recall those days of gladness ’Neath the Orange and the Black.

THE TIGER LILY PRESENTED BY THE SENIOR CLASS, 195 , OF THE PORT ALLEGANY HIGH SCHOOL, PORT ALLEGANY, PA.- TO REMIND YOU OF Free Worship CATHOLIC PROTESTANT Thinking people recognize the value of prayer and the omnipotence of God. Revolts by individuals against God are made only when the value of prayer has been undermined by sentimentality and hypocrisy. In the United States, where citizens have enjoyed the privilege to exercise their free will to worship God as they deem most proper, a devout, intelligent, and sincere religious attitude has been achieved. Let us continue to respect all religions, to recognize the goodness of the ONE GOD, and to understand the value of our freedom of worship. Free Speech Senator Taft. Monsignor Sheen, and Bill Johnson have the opportunity to state their honest convictions and observations publicly and privately. They may laud the Administration’s Foreign Policy or harshly rebuke the President’s support of the Brannan Farm Bill. And there is no police organization to censor or to restrict their speech. Those farmers who, on summer evenings, relax on the porch steps of the country store and informally discuss local and national politics; the lawyer and industrialist who exchange brief remarks about excess profits tax, and the students in the classroom who debate the necessity of Universal Military Training — all are exercising their freedom of speech. They should learn to realize the importance of this freedom and to refrain from abusing it. tour YOUR FREE AMERICA Free Press The daily papers which Americans receive aid in making them the most enlightened of all people. Events in Washington, in the rest of the nation, and in the world are observed and interpreted for the public. Read thoughtfully, the newspaper is truly “a revelation of the past, a guide for the present, and a clue to the future.” Freedom of the press has given our best citizens the medium to express their ideas and ideals to all Americans. Through the press, a greater understanding between the East, West, North, and South has evolved. We have learned to understand our countrymen by reading of their problems and fortunes—their way of life. A greater unity of the United States of America has resulted from the free press. To keep America united, this freedom to express man’s beliefs and observations must be maintained. CENTUM. Hl PEWOtT Americas economic structure has often been severely criticized; but throughout the history of our nation, most of our people have had the opportunity to work. This opportunity of the individual to work, and through ambition, to rise financially and socially, has given us the highest standard of living in the world. Education has been of inestimable value to all our labors and has made America progress. A most happy feature of our way of life is that — without envy — we recognize the value of the physician, the teacher, the janitor, and the shift worker at the Pitt-Corning. Only through cooperation of all professional men, tradesmen, and laborers has America achieved its wealth and eminence. Opportunity to Work five Top I. to r.: Kilt . Bayline, Rackish, Ross Bottom . to r.: Palm, Bailey, Skok, Boyd, Hobbs, Burr Circulation and Advertising Editors The circulation managers did a great job. A greater number of Tiger Lilies have never been sold. Lois and Frank begged and threatened — and sold that yearbook. Russ. Mary Lane, and Dick knew advertising. They worked several days, let the people know about our Tiger Lily and they obtained the essential boosters. Circulation and advertising were chiefly responsible for financing our yearbook. Copy Editors They disturbed the teachers, irritated the advisors, and even caused Miss Hilton to wonder. But their curiosity was rewarded. They obtained essential data to complete their assigned topics. The Tiger Lily copy, as a result of unprecedented energy, was completed with amazing rapidity. Troublesome? Maybe. Efficient? Definitely. TIGER LILY STAFF Editor, Associate Editors, and Advisor Initiative, inspiration and leadership were provided by Margie, Chuck, Henry, and Mr. Rackish Incessant work and supervision were their contributions. Mr. Rackish whistled. Margie wrote. Chuck laughed and Henry looked bewildered. Perhaps the meetings lacked that seriousness which is supposed to be characteristic of such noble endeavors; nevertheless, the Tiger Lily was published. Those four people must be admired and respected for their labor and guidance. Sports, Art, and Camera Editors Joe and Fred got these pictures. Joanne and Fay did those drawings, and Gerald and Guy covered Sports. All were thorough, efficient and compromising. Without their help success would not have been achieved. Thanks from the Senior Class. Top I. to r.: Edgricn. Butler, Hills. Manning, Johnson Bottom I to r.: Scherer.

Frank Rudzinsky Science Department We, the members of the class of 1951, wish to express our sinccrcst appreciation to one whose untiring efforts deserve this small tribute. Our dedication rewards a man whose work and knowledge have improved our school and consequently our own education. His advances have doubled the potentiality of our science and mathematics departments and therefore the outgoing Seniors have acquired a better background. His cooperation has been illustrated through optional and welcomed attention to the students. Teaching in this manner has had a positive effect on the willingness of his pupils. Not only has he promoted the school program but his initiative has resulted in the organization of two new and very interesting clubs since his arrival here. Because of these evident qualities, we justly dedicate the 1951 TIGER LILY to Mr. Frank Rudzinsky. tight FOREWORD Why do you buy Ivan’s oatmeal? I’ll tell you why. Because Ivan’s oatmeal is the best oatmeal. Where did you learn that Ivan’s is the best oatmeal? Big Ben from WBBZ let you know. That two page spread in GLARE of the familiar red and white parcel made you long for Ivan’s. You looked at the billboards. You sighed when you saw Muscles McMann dipping that spoon into a bowl of oats. Then you realize that you. too. could be like Muscles McMann. Ivan’s would make you into a husky individual. Big Ben said that the Vitamin Z in Ivan’s would give you pep. That handsome picture in GLARE made you dash right down to Cooper’s to buy a large sized package of that nourishing cereal. Now, what made you buy Ivan’s? Advertising did it. The American whose paydays don’t come often enough, who must control the number of checks that he signs to insure his daughter the clothes she desires, hasn’t the leisure to consider the importance of advertising. However, at one time, he has probably realized that his only reason for buying a certain brand of cigarettes or canned peas is that he has seen colorful representations exaggerating their quality in the newspaper or periodical which he reads. If he should stop to ponder, he would realize how great an influence advertising does have on an individual and how great a factor it is in American life. Advertising is of inestimable value both financially and psychologically. Knowing this importance, the Seniors are advertising their school in this issue of the TIGER LILY. Unlike much advertising, they are presenting their administration, teachers, classes, organizations, and athletics in an unbiased manner. Realizing that PAHS is, too often, criticized adversely, they are determined to make the pupils and adults understand the true nature of their school. Their medium for advertising will be SCOOP. They define SCOOP as the total knowledge gained by pupils from teachers, books, class discussions, and participation in school activities.. With SCOOP one becomes aware of his environment, aware of present national and international developments, and acquainted with universal ideas and their value. A student, to understand the ways of this unsympathetic world and to make his journey through it as full as possible must be saturated with SCOOP. The pupils necessarily realize that the Administration is responsible for their getting the SCOOP. SCOOP simply emanates from the teachers and the students have an opportuntiy to absorb it. Whether they do or do not is entirely their own affair. Activities classified as extra-curricular are priceless. They provide the outlets and training grounds where SCOOP received and retained can be applied practically. Pupils are strengthened through participation in group activities, in social units where all must cooperate. Here SCOOP is put to democratic and beneficial use through unselfish endeavors of a group to benefit PAHS. On the following pages, you will note the different personalities and their importance based on the quantity of SCOOP which they have absorbed. The Seniors have no doubt that PAHS is capable of giving the maximum amount of SCOOP to its pupils. Their advice to the underclassmen is simply this: Be popular, Be useful, Be SCOOPFUL. nine APPRECIATION of ADVISORS Mr. Frank Rackish, the originator and author of that Scoop philosophy, has earned the eternal gratitude of the class of ’5 for his efforts to give us the Scoop on deeper English and for his careful guidance and leadership in helping us to compile and edit the TIGER LILY. He has set an example in clothing, speech, and manners for the men of the Senior Class. Mr. Frank also was a great help in our magazine campaign and had charge of our commencement exercises. Mr. Frank Rackish B.S. Mrs. Nadolske, the director of the Senior play, surely has a large share of credit due to her for her aid in bringing about our gradual evolution from Sniffling Sophs to Sophisticated Seniors. In English she gave us Scoop; in Latin Scoopum, i, n. Mrs. Nadolske was also in part responsible for our successful magazine campaign to raise funds for our TIGER LILY. She is tops in popularity with the student body and always has a cordial greeting for all students. Mrs. Hanna D. Nadolske B.S. ten ADMINISTRATION and FACULTY eleven PROVIDERS OF SCOOP SCHOOL BOARD Did it ever occur to you what Port Allegany High School would be without an administration? We take for granted our daily supplies such as tablets, pencils, textbooks, and even our teachers. Yet how many of us realize that the direction of our school is the work of the principals and a voluntary group under the heading of administration. These people gain nothing but strive to help the school and the students —you and me. The Administration is also in charge of many other duties in connection with the general function of the school system. It would be a confusing situation if Port Allegany High School had no supervision. The administration makes the rules and regulations with which we gladly comply. The fact that we don’t have to be concerned with the functioning of the administration is proof that their job of operating PAHS is being well done. The Senior Class wishes to thank them. • 7 to right: Mr. McGomiell, Vice President; Mr. Berg, Treasurer; Mr. Barren, President; Mr. Baker; Mrs. Catlin, Secretary. Meml er without picture, Mr. McCoy. twelve THE ADMINISTRATION PRINCIPALS Mr. Hardy B.S. Mr. Bates, who is the principal of the Senior High School, has competently instructed students of PAHS for twenty-one years. In addition to teaching biology and plane geometry, he is the advisor of both the Sophomore class and the Biology club. Although Mr. Bates' chief interest is centered around the Sophomores, he is well liked by all of the students and his judgment is respected. Strange as it seems, even though we graduate our teachers and principals remain behind to instruct and oversee future classes of students. Foremost among these is Mr. Hardy who for twenty-one years has capably fulfilled the office of supervising principal. He can usually be found busy at work in the office. He is always ready and willing to advise or help the students. The Seniors express their sincere appreciation for his work. thirteen Mr. Bates B.S. M.S. OUR FACULTY They Give The SCOOP We are prone to criticize our teachers, but when we stop and think, wc realize the guidance and help they have given us. The faculty of Port Allegany High School have not only taught us facts from text books but also cooperation, teamwork, and sportsmanship. They have helped us when things were going smoothly and they have given encouragement to us when we were ready to give up in despair. At this time the class of ’51 extend their most sincere thanks to each and every one of the faculty for their interest in both our school work and in our extra-curricular activities. Miss Eleanor Snyder B.S. N.C. To mention all the merits of our popular commercial teacher would be a difficult task. She is particularly noted for her willingness to advance student activities. Miss Snyder is not only a dependable teacher but also a good friend to all. Mr. Rudzinsky B.S. Mr. Rudzinsky is one of the newest members of our present faculty. He came to our school shortly after having served three years with the United States Army Air Force in the Pacific theater of action. Mr. Rudzinsky received his Bachelor of Science Degree at St. Thomas College, now Scranton University. Since that time he has taught for twelve years, the last three of which have been at Port Allegany. fourteen Mrs. Loraine Gillen A.B. Mrs. Gillen teaches history, French, and business arithmetic. She efficiently fulfills her duty as Junior class advisor by her untiring efforts to help raise funds for the various class activities. We remember Mrs. Gillen best for her three minute tests in Junior history but also we remember her for those long talks held in her home room after school. She always has a willing ear for all our troubles and usually has a word of comfort for us. Mr. Cecil Gamble Mr. Gamble is the coach of our basketball and track teams in Port Allegany High School. He is well known and popular with all the students. Our 1951 basketball team is a fine example of the work he has done. This team, the best in the history of our school, has responded with willingness to his advice. Mr. Gamble has also re-organized the track team. Mrs. Hanna D. Nadolske B.S. As we recall the four years with Mrs. Nadolske, we find many pleasant memories. She has worked with untiring patience teaching Latin and Junior English. She makes Latin easy to grasp and is always willing to spend hours, if necessary, to enlighten the students. Junior English classics become a living story under her guidance and explanation. Besides being the Senior class co-advisor, she is director of the Latin Club. Mr. Raymond Poole B.S. Mr. Poole, as does every good coach, stands out in our memory for our football team. Since he has been here, Port has acquired an excellent record of athletic achievement. Mr. Poole has a nice personality and the students have a great respect for him. In addition to football, Mr. Poole teaches health, economics. Sophomore history and driving. He sponsors the Varsity P Club and is coadvisor of the Sophomore class. fifteen Miss Martha McFarland A.B. Miss McFarland, the Senior High School librarian, takes the initiative to guide the students' reading. Her cooperation with teachers and students has resulted in a well balanced library. Efficiency and energy are among her attributes which will be remembered by the students. Mr. Frank Rackish B.S. Mr. Rackish has many activities in addition to his classes. He is the advisor of the Bugle and the assistant football coach, but his most prominent duty is that of advisor of the Tiger Lily. The Senior Class of '51 extends their thanks for his perseverance in making our yearbook possible. Perhaps his smile, his jokes, his lectures in class and the poetry will be remembered, but our future use of English grammar learned during our Senior year will bring back memories of Mr. Rackish and our English classes. Miss Jean Marie Swanson B.S. Miss Swanson is one of our Commercial teachers. She teaches in both the Junior and Senior High Schools. The patriotic spirit displayed by Miss Swanson in attending the school sports is deeply appreciated by the students of Senior High. The Seniors of ’5 take this time to thank her and to tell her that she will be remembered for her interest in them. Mr. A. E. Cherrington B.S. Besides teaching agriculture and shop to the boys, Mr. Cherrington is the advisor of the Port Allegany Chapter of the Future Farmers of America. Mr. Cherrington has a pleasing personality and a jolly disposition He is always willing to help the boys with their farm projects. Mr. Cherrington will probably be most remembered by the boys for the field trips he scheduled for them. On these field trips, they learned to judge cattle and to prune and graft trees. sixteen Miss Ruth Hilton Although Miss Hilton's chief duty is that of secretary to Mr. Hardy, she is always willing to do extra tasks for the students and faculty. We will remember Miss Hilton as a pleasant and capable person. Mr. John Moyer B.M. As the director of the Port Allegany High School Band, Mr. Moyer has worked hard to promote concerts, programs, and the many other functions of the band. He is well-liked by all the students and faculty for his willingness to help and for his cooperation with the children who are musically inclined. Although he is somewhat handicapped by lack of equipment, Mr. Moyer has done much to improve the band of our high school. Mrs. Helen Michelitsch R.N. Mrs. Michelitsch is kept very busy patching up our bruises. She assists our school physician each year in performing the infinite medical examinations. She is always ready to give helpful information to those students who are interested in nursing as a career. Mrs. Michelitsch came to Port High about the time we Seniors became Freshmen, and in the four years we have known her, we have learned to love her for her nice personality. Mr. Charles Maul B.S. Mr. Maul, the leader of the Senior High Glee Club, is a likeable person because of his quick wit and sense of humor. As a result of his enthusiasm, the Glee Club produced a successful operetta and a novel Christmas program. seventeen JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING On the Ladder A Spectator Great Art Initiation The new Pavilion Practicing to Kick Off The hunter and the Bear Shorty’s Bruin Poor Pete eighteen CLASSES nineteen Classes plus Teamwork = SCOOP Smethport Won FOOTBALL - JUNIOR VARSITY twenty SOPHOMORE CLASS You can certainly recognize a person who doesn't have Scoop. Look at a crude Sophomore. His reason for being unworldly is that he is void of Scoop. He has a couple of books. But does he use them? Definitely not. He goes to several classes and what happens? He stares into space, drops his books, chews his pencil, shuffles his feet, and finally when there is a minute left in the class period he listens— for the bell. It's certainly no wonder that he doesn t have the Scoop. He doesn't know that he should read those books, listen to those teachersand think for himself. The only advice we can give the Sophomores is this: It's time to wise up and get that Scoop. Mike, if you stare into space, you'll never get the Scoop. SOPHOMORES — Crude Quality of Scoop twenty-one I CLASS OFFICERS Left to right: McLaughlin, (iambic, Miller, Wennerstrom OFFICERS President ...................... Vice President.................. Secretary ...................... Treasurer ...................... McLaughlin .... Gamble Miller Wennerstrom On September 6, the largest class of Sophomores to enter Port High in the last three years took their places in rooms 205 and 206. Initiation, which would start in a few weeks, was the main topic of every Sophomore’s conversation. “Are they going to be hard on us?” “Am I going to get it hard? were just a few of the questions asked. Surviving initiation, the Sophomores began to settle down to their work. Their class was organized with Jim McLaughlin as president. Varsity letters were given to three Sophomore boys. Also, several J.V. letters were won. Scholastically and socially, the Sophomores did very well. Their Hop was the big event of the year and several good chapel programs were presented by them. twenty-two First row, left to right Abbey Acre G. Baker J.

How can you tread the paths of this complicated world without IT?” Kes, the JunioiS discovered Scoop and were happy. They retained some and became almost conceited. But, even they are miserable creatures ,for they have only attained the regular or average amount of Scoop. The refined Seniors smile at the eleventh graders. They recognize that the Juniors have begun to pursue knowledge and to grasp some. But they think of that old quotation: “A little Scoop is a dangerous thing. twenty-five Juniors — average quality of Scoop CLASS OFFICERS Left to right: Johnson Saiers, Luce. Elder President .... Vice President Secretary Treasurer . . . . OFFICERS ......................... Luce ....................... Saiers ........................ Elder ...................... Johnson Don’t look now, but the great class of ’52 is on its next to the last lap in a handicap race of public education. Thus far, we have had to overcome the obstacles of raising money, deciding on class rings, and giving a successful Prom for those wonderful people, the Seniors. Under the leadership of our capable president. Joe Luce, and with the help of our advisors, we have done very well in all our undertakings. We believe our class worthy of praise. In the field of sports we have excelled. Jack Dunn, Gary Lyons, Pitt Raymond and Dick Meacham proved to be very good basketball players. The Junior boys who went out for football also made a good showing. At the football banquet two very dependable co-captains were chosen, Joe Luce and Johnny Waid. In closing, we want to thank the Seniors for setting us such fine examples and we will do our best to follow in their footsteps. If we can succeed in this, we will indeed have made a leading start in a longer race. twenty-six First row, left to right Anderson Babola Bayline Bee Bergholtz Second row Black Bosworth Boyer Brown Buckheit Third row Burgess Crain Doll J.

Do you hear a lot of racket? See people staring at the clock0 No. No, you don't because that’s the Senior room. There, the refined members of Port Allegany High School reside. What do you see? There’s Fay with a lot of books on her desk. She looks to several sources for material on tomorrow’s lesson. A group of individuals are quietly discussing an idea which was presented to them by a teacher. They are going to do some research on that idea. There I noticed the difference between a Senior and an underclassman. Seniors read, listen, think and evaluate. They know their reason for being in PAHS is to get that Scoop. They have certainly received it. They have reached the heights. They are refined. Scoop did it. twenty-nine Seniors — Refined quality of Scoop •CLASS OFFICERS Hobbs .......... President Keltz .... Vice President Butler ........ Treasurer Doyle............Secretary It was the first day of his Sophomore year. He trudged sorrowfully up the beaten path to the door and after one quick look behind him, our hero entered into the inner sanctum. From that moment on until the end of the school year, life for the poor greenie was a far cry from beautiful. After many narrow escapes, he was ready to ascend to a greater height, that of the dignified body called Juniors. He could scornfully smirk at the initiation proceedings. He received his class ring and helped make plans for what was to be one of the best proms in the history of Port High. He bid a tearful adieu to the graduating Seniors and with a beaming face assured them that his class would carry out the traditions of the school. A Senior at last. Our little friend was now a man of distinction around Port. As a result of his untiring efforts, the Tiger Lily was published on time. Then came graduation day. He smiled bravely amid a flood of crocodile tears, took one last look at his dear old alma mater and walked manfully down the road of life.

The auditorium was so crowded that seats were placed in the doorways. The audience was anxiously awaiting the program. A hush went through the halls, the lights were turned down low, the curtain was raised. Scene: the living room of an average American home. Plot: a day in the life of a regular American family, the Smiths. The rather scared Seniors survived the performance, the curtain closed, and the audience rushed from the auditorium acclaiming what a superb play it was. It was undoubtedly the best play any Senior Class ever produced.

The purpose of the club is to promote athletics and good sportsmanship among the high school students. The club began to function shortly after the beginning of the basketball season. Then, several new members who had completed their varsity requirements were admitted. After two and a half days of initiation, they were received as full-fledged members. One project of the club this year was the construction of football yard markers for the community park field. It took considerable time and work to complete this project but these numbered auto tires should be greatly appreciated by the players as well as the fans. If you failed to notice or trip over that pile of tires in Mr. Poole’s room, you will have a chance to see and admire them on the Port High gridiron next season. Hack row: Meachum.

Gretta Elder Our school’s only religious club, the Tri-Hi-Y, has done much for the school and community in spiritual leadership. This year’s Tri-Hi-Y has been one of the most active in Port High’s history. Self-improvement, Christian fellowship, and united service are the ideals advocated by the club. These ideals are symbolized by the club’s colors: red, white, and blue. This year’s officers were sent to Lock Haven for a course in leadership. There, they acquired different ideas and incorporated those ideas into the year’s program. The end result was a successful club guided by efficient officers. Two girls attended a district meeting at the Y.M.C.A. in Bradford to trade ideas with students from many other towns. The club held numerous candy sales during the dinner hours and sponsored a successful Teen Age Fashion Show. fifty-four SCOOP From The Sages LIBRARY CLUB OFFICERS President ...........................

Everyone has seen, but perhaps without realizing it, the handiwork of the Library club. They are responsible for the novel decorations set up each month on the library bulletin board. The Library club has also completed many other successful projects this year. Of these, the square dance they sponsored at the gym was their most popular undertaking. Many of the boys and girls who attended the dance had never before had an opportunity to square dance. They experienced the new thrill of stomping feet to the screeching beat of “yellow man left.” That dance left us with the promise that square dancing may soon become the favorite pastime of the students of Ye Olde Scoope Shoppe. Another important social function was the record dance and dinner held at Grange Hall. I.clt lo right: Nunn, Winston, Studer, Norton, Reese, Luslilmiuli, McKillin, Turner, li s Mac Kurland, Dunn.

Phyllis Johnson To promote a better understanding and more thorough knowledge of Latin, the Latin Club (S.P.Q.R.) was established in 1930 A.D. by Mrs. Nadolske. The new members for the year proved their worthiness by undergoing and usually surviving a little initiation. (Just a trip through Hades, but occasionally the spirits got a little rough). The activities of the club are varied and entertaining as well as educational. The favorite past-time of all is either a fast game of Bingo (played in Latin, of course) or else a rollicking good time with Proficiscere. This year, instead of the customary Christmas Banquet, the schedule was changed for a Christmas dance, which, to the joy of all, was a success. The climax of the year was the traditional Roman Banquet. Each member took especially long in dressing for this important event for the costume of all must be that of a famous Roman citizen.

This editorial is written mainly for the Senior’s benefit, but since underclassmen arc also only a comparatively short time from graduation, this artic e may be helpful to them. We, as Seniors, now find ourselves at an incalculable number of crossroads. This is the beginning of the end, the point in life where we should commence directing our efforts toward a high and optimistic goal. We have before us an unlimited number of occupations and professions from which to choose. However, we should by now have one or two chosen that will suit us best. In many cases, however, a person finds through tests that the career which he has chosen through the guidance of others is not for him and that he would not be content in such a profession. In view of this, don’t let another’s choice guide your life. A boy may have great mechanical ability and hold promise of great achievement in that field, but because of his parent’s insistence that he follow in his father’s footsteps and become a banker, he will probably be unhappy and bitter in the profession they have chosen for him. I do not mean to say here that parents are necessarily always in the wrong, rather that one shoi Id be able to think for himself in the selection of a career. As to the choosing of a career, we should set our s ghts high. As a great poet once said, “A man’s reach should exceed his grasp, or what’s a heaven for?” The true joy of life comes from striving to reach some before unattained objective. True, there is a sense of satisfaction and contentment after the goal has been reached, but we soon become restless again without some occupation to keep us busy. You might say to yourself now, “What’s the object of becoming a success if I won’t be happy after I have achieved same?” Here we come to the “setting of sights,” the aiming of ourselves at some distant goal. For a person to be happy throughout life, I believe this set goal should be unattainable, or very nearly so. Then, even though we do not attain the ultimate success we have set, there is the satisfaction of coming as close as possible. Through this method, I believe that a person will live a full, happy, and productive life with few periods of indecision or lapse of initiative and ambition. I leave you with this thought: Prepare yourselves today for tomorrow. Don’t just live from day to day but think about and plan for the future. This selecting of your career is one of the most important and serious decisions of your life. Future generations are depending on you. Let’s set a good example and establish a better American way of life for them. JOKES FROM EXCHANGE She: “Where do you bathe?” He: “In the spring.” She: “I asked you where, not when.” The class had been given a rather difficult sum to do for home work and strange to relate, Tommy, the dunce of the class, was the only one with the correct answer. “Did your brother help you with this?” asked the teacher. “No, sir,” replied Tommy truthfully. “He did it alone.” “What did one strawberry say to another?” “Heaven preserve us. We’re in a jam.” MEASLES EPIDEMIC STRIKES PORT HIGH During the latter part of March, those red spots came out upon several people. They only lasted three days and nights; however, they proved irritating. People scratched, wore ('ark glasses, and missed school. When April came, the showers seem'd to wash away those red marks. The measles epidemic h id run its course. NOW, HEAR THIS. All students anticipated Monday mornings. They da hed through the halls 1 stening eagerly for more news. Something shocking and exc ting was usually revealed. Were they seeking news of football games? Basketball games? No. This news concerned human relationships. P o-ple talked when Mr. Tess married Joella. They were stunned to silence when Mrs. Bay ine announced the engagement of her daughter, Marjorie. All this, and it wasn’t even spring.

Henry Keltz Business Manager ........................................... Joe Luce Faculty Advisor ......................... Mr. Rackish The duty of the Press Club is to write all the latest school news for the BUGLE. The BUGLE, our newspaper which is published every two weeks, is the most that can be bought for the price of one thin dime since inflation. The night before the assignments are posted, our efficient editor-in-chief checks and rechecks the list to make sure he has made an assignment for each of the club’s members. After the assignments are posted, the reporters have five days to write their columns and to hand them to their respective editors. These editors proof read the matter, check the errors, and then give it to the editor-in-chief and advisor who thoroughly re-check it again. When all this has been completed, the “dummy is sent to the Steno Club to be printed. Approximately 150 copies of the BUGLE are printed and they go as fast as Russ Edgreen runs. So next time you hear that the BUGLES are on sale, rush right up to Room 201 and be the first to purchase the biggest little paper ever published. After reading it, you will realize the work of the Press Club. fifty-eight They Stencil The SCOOP STENO CLUB OFFICERS President ........................... Vice President ......................

During the year they had a Halloween party, a birthday party for Miss Snyder, and a Christmas party, but several scheduled sleigh rides never came about because of lack of sleigh, horses, snow, and men. The Steno Club’s main activity is to print the BUGLE every two weeks. They also make tickets, programs, and posters for various school and community functions. They issued two copies of a new publication, THE STENOGRAPHERS NOTEBOOK As their chapel program they staged a very successful Minstrel Show starring Shirley Manning. It was a panic, a riot, and also funny.

The Juniors and Seniors who were members were transferred to the Science Club. The membership, consisting of both boys and girls, was twenty. The officers were elected as before, but the customary initiation was dropped. The aim of the new club was to successfully complete several projects relating to the interest of biology. They studied photography, then went out and took pictures which they succeeded in developing. They saw some unusual film slides of science topics. The year's activities also included the dissection of the star-fish and squid, several nature hikes to study flowers, leaves, and trees, and the sponsorship of an assembly program. A deep and lasting conception of biology was gained by the members. BIOLOCX - CLUB Standing, left to right: Mr. Bates, K. K. Crowe, II. C o|K_ r, Thomas, Kenner.

The club was organized in September of 1950. The purpose of the club is to encourage pupils to build mechanical devices and to perform experiments other than those required in the regular science courses. The first few meetings were occupied with the framing and adoption of a constitution. The first project was a telescope that would magnify up to one hundred diameters. They also built an A.C., D.C. generator. The Chess Club began to function after Thanksgiving vacation. Another chess tournament was formed this year, but it was not carried out with the same enthusiasm as that of the previous year. sixty-two Music In The SCOOP Manner MUSIC MAKERS Apollo, the god of music, was seated on his celestial throne thinking that this wasn’t going to be a very busy year and it might be a good idea to take on some extra activity. As he opened his reference book, his eyes fell upon Port Allegany High School Band. From that moment on, the Port High band had a new invisible guardian. His first acts were to convey the ideas of a Fall Concert and a chapel program to Mr. John Moyer, the director of the band. The band sounded heavenly and as a result fourteen members were chosen for County Band, three for District Band, and one for State Band. As the season progressed, Apollo again helped the Port Band with his thought messages concerning a Spring Concert and the summer parades at which the band received many honors. As a result, the band was invited to march at the football games where they acted as great morale boosters. During a lull in the game, one of the appreciative audience told Mr. Moyer that his music sounded “out of this world.” Apollo just sat upon his throne and smiled.

As the thunder roared. Mr. Seer seemed to hear the sweet sound of voices rising above the din of the storm. He entered the building and followed in the direction from which the sound had come. Having arrived at the auditorium, Mr. Seer found that the sweet sounds were coming from the members of the Glee Club who were practicing a beautiful selection for a future program. Upon questioning different people. Mr. Seer discovered that the Glee club was under the direction of Mr. Charles Maul and that every Wednesday afternoon the club met in the auditorium to sing. Sometimes they practiced for a chapel program and sometimes for a special holiday concert such as the one they gave at Christmas time. Mr. Seer found that they also produced an operetta entitled THE HITHER AND DITHER OF DANNY DITHER. As Mr. Site Seer prepared to proceed with his tour of Port High, he knew that no matter how many other things of interest he saw, he would remember the Glee Club best. 1st Row: ('asker.

SCOOP Maybe they didn’t do cartwheels or backflips, but they were the best cheer leaders in this area. Their job was to incite enthusiasm for the various athletic events. They did that job. During football season, there was wind, rain and snow. But they braved the elements to lead those cheers. Basketball season found them even more energetic. They hired buses to transport Port Allegany’s patriots to the away games. They worked continually to make the students realize the quality of their athletic teams. Jo Ann. Betty. Margie. Mary Lane, and Barbara had energy and perseverance, the qualities needed by good cheer leaders. 2-4-6-8 Whom do we appreciate? The cheer leaders. Mary Lane Butler Betty Lundgren Joanne Boyd Marjorie Bayline Barbara Kaziska sixty-six SPORTS sixty-seven Gamble's SCOOP Inspires Cagers. RECORD 18-6 The year 1951 should long be remembered in the history of Port Allegany High School basketball. This season our cagers won more games than any other team ever has won. The hard work and long training of the boys has shown itself in the eighteen games won against only six losses. This has been our greatest team. The team next year will be without the services of three Seniors: Captain Chuck Ross. Russell Edgreen, and Dick Johnson. It goes without saying that these boys will sorely be missed. Ross and Edgreen have been members of the varsity for three years and Dick Johnson has also been one of Coach Gamble’s best substitutes. With the coming of these players Port has seen three successful seasons. In league play Port placed fourth with a record of nine wins and five setbacks. All of the losses were close and hard fought contests usually resulting from poor foul shooting or some other cause. Because of the team’s fine play this year Port has risen from obscurity to a position of esteem in the Northern Tier League. After the regular season had been completed the team was invited to participate in the Mansfield State Teachers College Tournament where they won three straight games but lost to Otto in the championship playoff. The regulation game ended with the score tied at 42 all; therefore, a three minute overtime period was necessary. The Gators lost then after a hard struggle, 43-42. Because this is the Senior’s yearbook and the articles are written by persons who will never return to Port Allegany High School as students, we leave this thought to future basketball players: VARSITY If you think you’re outclassed, you arc. You’ve got to think high to rise. You’ve got to be sure of yourself before You can ever win the price. Life’s battles don’t always go To the stronger or faster man, But soon or late the matt who wins Is the fellow who thinks he can. Left to Right: Coach (Iambic. K cl green. Meacham Lyons.

Although they won six tilts of a nine game schedule, even more impressive is the fact that these six games were won in succession. The Gators displayed their fighting ability equally well on offense and defense. Although the squad had no opportunity to train under night playing conditions, they were able to win over a highly favored Bradford team by a score of 20-0 and thus became the first Port High team to win a night game. For further proof of the strength of the Gator squad, they suggest that you ask the managers how many times they had to replace and repair the tackling dummy. Smethport should also be able to add a few interesting facts about this year’s team. Port will lose eight letter men including the co-captains, Dick Johnson and Russell Edgreen. The other graduating seniors are: Gerald Hobbs, Francis Ludwig, Fred Palm, Charles Ross, Joe Skok, and Bob Strait. The four games which the Junior Varsity played were against Otto and Smethport.

The Port Allegany High School track team was one of which the school could be proud. Working under adverse conditions and handicapped by the number of trackmen, Coach Gamble produced a surprisingly strong team. The boys had to work harder than the contestants from the other schools because of the condition of the track, and the limitation of needed equipment, but this was their incentive. The mile relay team established a new District record and Phil Cooper did the same in the high jump. These two representatives went to the first state meet in which any Port Allegany boys have participatd. Of the two triangular meets in which the team entered, it won one and took second place in the other. Elder, Ross, Luce, Edgrecii seventy-two They Boost The SCOOP Shoppe BOOSTER CLUB Some people who read this article may not be aware of the Booster Club since it has only recently been organized. Already the services of this well managed endeavor have been recognized as noteworthy achievements. Among the more apparent benefits to local sports the Annual Sports Banquet seems to stand out. To reward the athletes of Port Allegany High School for their fine performances of sportsmanship on and off the track, football field, and gymnasium, this group took the responsibility of sponsoring one of the finest banquets in the recent history of our town. The students of this High School wish to thank them for this banquet and the subsequent ones we hope will follow. Although the Club now has certain limitations as to the functions it is able to perform, it has shown what appears to be a good step in the direction of furthering our High School athletic program.
