Advertisements in which we greel: the reader There it stands-Redbank Valley High School of New Bethlehem. To you, the passer-by, the school is a red brick building, old with years, set among trees sprinkled with sunlight. But to us, the students, it is more than a structure. It is a tangible symbol of our school experiences. In this 1952 Vallis, dedicated to the students, we will show you what our school means to us. Won't you walk in the front door there, and join us as we relive our school days? We want you to meet the teachers, ob- serve us at work in the classrooms, join us in our club and class activities, watch the athletes in action, and see the seniors who graduate this year. Are you ready for the trip? Then turn the pages and come along with us to see the school as we students see it.

Yearbook meeting, athletics. music-all the extra curricular activities- are well-attended by seniors. If you care to look into one of our class meetings, you may see and hear anything from a discussion of our class colors to a heated argument as to the site of our proposed senior trip. A school day in the life of a senior would consist of classesg tfrorn gym to geom- etryl. a visit to our guidance teacher to decide that all important question, What comes next?', and perhaps a chapel program or a club meeting. This year our school activities even went on after school hoursg for example, look at the hours of practice we spent on our senior play. and the dance and rummage sale We held. We viewed June graduation with a certain amount of astonishment at its coming so fast. There barely seemed to be time to hold activities in order to make money for our senior trip. One of our successful projects was a chile supper held in the basement of the First National Bank. It was fun. and an experience welll never forget. It is almost over now-all the things that school has meant to usg report cards and homework. football games and dances. But the associations we have made and the knowledge we have gained will never leave us. It is the end of our carefree life in high school. it is true. but it is the beginning of a more mature. responsible life in the world of adults. May we face the unknown as well as We have passed through the known! 6 senior snaps Left top: Girls, ghouls, and g-men appear in the Sen- ior Play. Right top: Refreshment stand going up!

We enjoyed doing our assembly programs immensely. All the participants in the programs had fun practicing. At times it may have been a little hard to get some certain characters to work, but it provided some good laughs and was well worth our while, One of our eventful activities was a round and square dance in the school gym. Everyone seemed to have fun as he dived for the oyster and Hpromenaded around the floor. The caller practically hypnotized us with his vivacity, and We were forced, willingly, too, to join in the merry-making. Several of our juniors were outstanding in various school activities. Kay Het- rick, Nancy Shumaker, Jim McCaPferty, and Wendell Reddinger were our repre- sentatives to District Chorus held at Ambridge, Pennsylvania. In the Forensic Speech Contest for Clarion County, Joyce Daugherty and Kay Hetrick did a fine job with serious and humorous declamations. In the all-school play, which enjoyed huge success, there were three juniors, Sally Wiant, Roger Allen, and Barbara Humes. We, the juniors, are proud of our classmates. Next year We shall be seniors. Of course, we're looking forward to that eventful year, but right now, We're doing our best to make the most of this one. l8 room poses JUNIORS Bottom Row: tleft to rightl Nancy Doverspike, Pat Allori, Montez Harmon, Anna Gall-w, Kay Hetrick, Joan Adams, Louella Hull, Dorothy Izzi, Mary Adams.

After the first few days of school had come and gone, it began to dawn on us that we were sophomores in our first year of senior high. We were quite thrilled to know that as sophomores we would be included in more activities than last year. The rush and confusion of school life became a part of us. Our class contributed four of the eight cheerleaders, and there were many other sophomores who were outstanding in other activities. As the days flew by, we also realized that we had to do more work than last year. Biology, JBT, and Plane Geometry presented problems we had never encoun- tered before. We sponsored many activities during the year. We had our annual Sadie Haw- kins' Day celebration, with the girls asking the fellows to go. Then we held skating parties, bake sales, and more dances. We were the class who started talking about the Ice Follies in Pittsburgh, and finally chartered buses so all Redbank Valley students who wished to go could have available transportation. Our class produced the one person eligible to attend State Chorus where only the best singers from all over Pennsylvania gather for festivals of song. Jack Wilson was chosen to represent RVHS. A school year, even if it's packed with activities, somehow has a way of disap- pearing. With only a few regretful backward glances, we face the year ahead confi- dent that we will carry on as juniors with even greater success. 20 S b .s ' v 1 a look al: room I9 SOPHOMORES Botiom Row: tLeft to Rightl Homer Sherry, William Shumaker, Thomas Rearick, Roy Warner, Milo Palaggo, Michael Pyne, Richard Stewart, Eugene Eberhart.

We freshmen found a very complicated puzzle in September. We had to learn 143 new pupils' names and faces. We had to become acquainted with thirty teachers. We had to figure out bewildering things like A 429-3X 133 and hic, haec, hoc. After a while we were straightened out and ready to make ourselves known. A rousing bake sale started our activities, which was soon followed by skating parties and dances. To the newly-formed student council the freshmen class sent four representa- tives: Neal Campbell, Nancy Colwell, Dan Reitz, and Carol Griifin. The leading drum majorette is from our class, too. She's Betty Ann Shankle, and we're proud that she's one of us. Two of our classmates participated in the all-school play, t'Cheaper by the Doz- en. They were Neal Campbell and Harold Keefer. Our classes this year have been different, but interesting. We'll always re- member Civics. It was for this subject that we solicited donors for the American Red Cross, and collected all our banks, bulging with pennies, in order to relieve the shortage of that coin. Yes, we know that being in ninth grade is still not senior high school, but the years hurry by and even though our senior year seems an eternity away, we are already saving our money for the long-awaited trip at the end of the school year. There is something in the word 'tfreshmeni' which makes us feel a little more ma- ture, a little more intelligent, and a little more determined to meet the future with success. We're green now, but after all, green is a signal to go ahead, and welre on our way! 23 room I I freshmen pose I-'RESHMEN Bonom Row: tleft to right?

Thirty-nine fellows showed up for practice and only five of them were lettermen. Having a mostly inexperienced team. we began our schedule. Our first rival was Shenango Township. We fought down to the one-foot line, but couldn't make it over for a TD. The next opponent was Reynoldsville. to whom we lost 13-6. On a wet, third Saturday in September. we played our first home game and lost to Shannock Valley.

After losing consistently, we turned to face the Sykesville Leopards. The stellar event of the game was Allenis 43-yard race to make our first touchdown. The final whistle found Sykesville the victors. In the Curwensville game the Golden Tide engulfed RVHS within the first few minutes of the game and kept us that way. On Friday. October 19. we were handed our seventh defeat by the Brookville Red Raiders. Then came Clarion, our arch rival. The team seemed to play an inspired game.

Down That Field The junior varsity consists of boys from the junior high who are considered good and boys of the senior high who have come out for their first year. The outstanding players, not only play junior varsity games, but also partic- ipate in varsity games, and become permanent members of that group. During the season the JVls played six games, four of which were at home and two were away. Coached by Mr. Caldwell, the team put in long hours practicing and giving all they had for the sport. Our hope for successful football seasons in the future lies in the strength of our JV teams. The Games We Played GAME RVJ S OPP.

Here we are again after our second year of wrestling. Most of the matmen this year had one year's experience. As we became more experienced grapplers, we became a bigger threat to our opponents. We are very proud of the fact that high school wrestling is definitely not television wrestling. It is a good. wholesome. clean sport. We are happy this year to have had matches at home because they give us a little more to iight for. Previously all the bouts were held in our opponents gym. We feel renewed spurts of energy when we hear our friends and classmates cheering us on to victory. The wrestlers and their weights are as follows: 95 lbs.hBen Kunselman, Gary Hepler: 103 lbs.-Ken Musser: 112 lbs.-Gene Eberhart, Vernon Campbell: 120 lbs.-John Smith: 127 lbs.-Dean Wiant.

Because of the limited gymnasium facilities at Redbank for basketball purposes. we hoopmen were permitted to use the American Legion Park floor for practice. There the high ceilings and extensive area made it possible for us to bank balls, and try long shots. . Rumors say that we may have a brand new gym to use for sports next year. For once we hard- court fliers hope the rumors are true. Perhaps then we can show the student body and sports fans of New Bethlehem that basketball is here to stay!

We didn't spend much time in class that day, but we certainly learned e the intricate procedure of tree-trimming. When the weather was favorable, Miss Ley, our club sponsor, took us outside to sketch. These trips were enjoyed by everyone, and some good pictures were the result. For almost every holiday we learned how to make appropriate favors and decorations. We studied home decorating, too, and learned how colors could make our homes more attrac- tive.

Here at Redbank fifty-four of us future farmers are learning how to till the soil. At the first of the year, we had some disorder when Mr. Cunningham, our faculty ad- visor, went back into the service, but we still held our regu- lar monthly meetings and tried to carry on in his absence. Then in January a new teacher, Mr. Traister, came in to start the wheels turning. We consider this part of student activity particularly important, because this is how we expect to make our living when we graduate from high school. We are aware of the important role the American farmer plays in the world today. We will be ready to do cur share in the future. WALTER OVER SHOWS FLOSSY FERN'S GIRT TO TAKE ZND PREMIUM IN THE JR. YEARLING CLASS We had classroom study of agriculture, and then visited neighboring farms to see these principles in actual use.

The hustle-bustle of the FHA was divided into two groups. The Junior FHA, made up of sopho mores, was lead by their faculty sponsor, Mrs. Dor- othy Slickg and their president, Hope Ortz. The Senior FHA, made up of junior and senior girls, and :ponsored by Mrs. Pauline Smith, was lead by the president, Helen Marshall. Both groups were busy all year with various piejects such as selling all-occasion cards, holdin! buffet suppers. hobby exhibits, skating parties, dance and game parties, and preparing cooking demonstra- tions. Then our long-awaited trip to the Farm Show at Harrisburg came. Some of the girls were privileged to speak over the radio there, giving a talk on mixers and roasters. FHA certainly added a spot of color to our life! PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB-Bottom Row: CLeft to Right? Jerry Doverspike, David Lower, Edwin Doverspike.

This is the Way the Song Goes-At a 9:00 Party in the Gym A1 as .Y 4 Fifty-two of us girls from Redbank Val- ley participated in thc activities of the Tri-Hi-Y, the club that has as its slogan, to seek, to find, to share. Our first meeting was a mad scramble. The new girls that wanted to join the club were wondering what would happen next, and we didn't know just what would either. After the installation ceremony in October, when the girls took the Tri-Hi-Y vows, we all worked together with Miss Evelyn Sellner, our club advisor, and our officers, and felt much at ease. Our year was a full one-skating parties, dances, bake sales, CARE packages for Korea, candy boxes for Deshon Hospital, and interesting programs filled our club calendar. We hope that somehow, some- way, through our activities and in our school life, we have promoted high stan- dards of Christian character with our Tri- Hi-Y Club.

Wendell Reddinger, treasurerg Donna Lee Shurnaker, managing editorg Con- nie Kugler, secretaryg Mary Gene Pyne, vice presidentg Lillian Allori, president. Many students like to write, so we decided to see if We had a Charles Dickens or a Victor Hugo in our school. Yes, we're talking about the Journalism Club. Once every month in The Leader-Vindicator four local paperl we have a whole page devoted to the different activities in which we participate, to all sports events, and to the im- portant happenings around school, There are different fields in which we can work. Poetry, short stories, cartoons, news articles, and jokes-e all have a place in the paper. Approximately two weeks before the deadline, the halls of the school are filled with division editors rushing from room to room trying to assimilate all the written rnaterial. Editor-in-chief Donna Shurnaker consults with staff heads, Roger Allen, Sally Sloan, Carol Hutson, Pat Allori, and Lorraine Skinner for the page layout. Our supervisors, Mrs. Campbell, Miss Shannon, and Mrs. Dovenspike, and the members of the Journalism Club someday hope to have a newspaper published regularly by the Club. We know that journalism is providing us with worthwhile experiences.

Whatever you decide, a little money would be a big help. We of the Go-Getters Club think defense bonds and stamps the perfect answer to that big question, How? Save money and help your country at the same time-what could be better? Every Friday we sell savings stamps to the students of the school. Miss Armagost's Junior Business Training class means much more to us now that we can apply what we're learning. Not only do we help with the defense pro- gram. but also with other welfare organizations. It was interesting to watch the sales increase each week. One of the big factors that pushed purchases to the top was a speech given in assembly by a member of the Treasury Department, Washington, D. C. He spoke on the values of defense stamps and urged students to spend now in order to save later. The officers of the club are: president, Shirley Morrison! vice-president, Audrey Boyerg secretary, Shirley McCauley: treasurer, Joan Bowser. 54 quiet, please lLeft to High!! Mildred Cerutti, Bonnie Smith, Nancy Colwell, and Ruth Williams will help you find that book you're looking for. Sometimes We complain that we haven't time to read library books, but that excuse is rarely heard now since our library has undergone so many renovations, and since the Library Club has been organized under the direction of Mrs. Jeanne Haines. Fifteen students meet every Wednesday to see how We can carry out our objectives-to become better acquainted with the library itself, and to get other students interested in it. Most of us are library assistants, but anyone can join. This year we have been kept quite busy getting new books catalogued and shellacked for the shelves. keeping the magazines up-to-date and in their proper places, and repairing torn books. All semester we have been working, also, on a vertical file which will serve to supplement ma- terial found in books. We have been cutting out biogra- phies and autobiographies found on book jackets in order to preserve them for future reference work.

Here's the music room. What a cacophony issues from the open door as the Redbank Valley Band members tune their instruments. Mr. Ake raps his baton on the music stand, raises his hand, and the triumphant music you now hear is the band in action. For three years We strived to build our de- partment to one hundred pieces. At last we reached our goal! Throughout the school year we played for many different functions. Here are just a few of them. We played at most of the football games- home and away-and led several parades-the Armistice Day parade, the Lions Club parade, the Halloween parade, and the Christmas parade, with good old Saint Nick right behind to cheer the children. Bob Bish, Bill Lucas. Jack Bish, Eugene Nine of our musicians participated in the All- County Band, which played for Clarion County Teachers' Institute. Ten of our members played in the All-Star Band that provided music for the All-Star Foot- ball Game at DuBois on November 16. The band concert and spring concert were two other activities we scheduled. It was the first time we had an entire program by ourselves. Several members played solos, and the music we all played was tuned to the tastes of the audience. Our drum majorettes also performed during the program.

The choir did this on Tuesdays and Wed- nesdays during the past year. Seventy in number, we practiced long and hard for the Christmas program and all our other activities. The other activities that were held during the year were an operetta. a spring con- cert, Commencement, Baccalaureate, and the For- ensic and Music League Contest. Five members of our choir attended district chorus at Ambridge. They were Kay Hetrick, Nancy Shumaker. Jack Wilson, Jim lVIcCafferty. and Wendell Reddinger. Some of our members took part in the All- School Play by singing different numbers between acts. The choir was proud to have one person selected to represent Redbank Valley High School at the State Chorus held in March at Harrisburg. This group was invited to sing before the confer- ence at Philadelphia where music teachers and supervisors from all over the United States met to discuss music. Throughout the school we were busy singing at various meetings-sometimes solos, sometimes duets, sometimes octettes, and sometimes the entire choir en masse. It has been fun for everyone of us. Ruth Ann Angehr has been our piano accom- panist during the year, and Miss Kathlegn Boarts. our choral director. fa so la CHORUS, CAROLS, AND COLORATURAS-Row 1: fLeft to Rightl Ruth Guthrie, Hazel Hilliard, Dorothy lzzi, Pat Allori, Mary Pyne, Keitha Smith, Ruth Williams, Mary Jane Constable, Anna Blair, Joan Adams, Mary Ann Adams.

That's not the way it's supposed to soundf' So seventy girls in the chorus of Redbank Valley listen while she tells us how the song should be sung. Yes, we really go through vocal calisthen- tics every Thursday morning during activity. We participated this year in the Christmas operetta, which included songs from both chorus and choir members. We all love to sing, and somehow, singing the familiar hymns and carols brought us closer to the true meaning of Christ- 1'I'1aS. Then came the spring concert, and finally, the Forensic Music and Speech Contest-when our entire group went to Clarion for singing com- petition with other schools in the disrict. With our pianist, Roberta Marsh, at the key- board, we sang during the year such songs as Grandma Gruntw, HOde to Starlight , and Ah, Sweet Mystery of Life. We used the Grandma Grunt selection for our contribution at the For- ensic Music Contests.

Butch will always be in our thoughts of Redbank Valley High School because he was an integral part of it. Active in sports, co-operative in spirit, friendly to everyone, Emmett Stahlrnan passed from this life to one of eternity. Someday we will meet him face to face, and tell him all the things we would like to say now. There is not one of us who will ever forget him or his shining ex- ample of true friendship. 62 the poets' corner The poems below, written by students of Redbank Valley, attempt to capture mood, imagination, and emotion. The little things of life that we so often ignore are called to our attention by the lilting lines of poetry. We hope you read and enjoy them, and that you, too, will try to write verses of your own someday. WINTER MAGIC Glistening, glistening, glistening, Like tiny white, soft feathers falling down To the earth, and under the dim lights it glistens, As tho' a burglar had passed and lost his stolen jewels, People go hurrying through the snow covered with white. As tho' they were miniature snow men Who came alive during the night. Soon the sandman comes, The snow keeps falling on, and on, Dawn comes, and then you find An unknown city all made of white. -Ruby Smith RAIN Did you ever hear rain singing a song As it patters away on an old tin roof? It sounds like the prancing of restless hoofsg It sings you to sleep and you sleep very long, And when you awaken the rain has gone. -LeRoy Hepler 63 r THOU MOUNTAIN You are like a woman, Thou Mountain beyond, As I stand here gazing to have it just dawn That to me you are different, Not rugged, but graceful, Something more feminine, something more faithful. You look not forlorn to one who can see The feel of love you express by your lee Unto those who need thy band To bind their strength, To grow, to spread, to be at length The power, the wisdom, the enactment of lifeg As I said, to spread the glory, the strife. So you see that the mountain. Something great. something strong, Is a picture of a woman guiding us on. -Ronald J. Klimek THE SEA As I sit and watch by the water Of the roaring sea, It makes me feel like jumping Right into it to see How far that it will travel: How deep that it can beg How many people watch it Just like you and me. -Anna Mae Gallo ,-7 operation 'Ill is slzuderiti splendid cg- iflggl 6F list of Si - i we um ii iii h5as.nu vailq, High Schgol. i i i ,if 2:63 to the seniors PATRONIZE THE FOLLOWING WHO New Bethlehem- Ake's Music Shop and Studio Alcorn's Funeral Home American Legion Auxiliary American Legion Park Army Sz Navy Store Auto Parts Service Bain's Gulf Station Blatt Bros.
