Leadership for some, achievement for many, service for all. lf, as you turn the pages of this year's PORTAL, just one pleasant memory comes alive again, then we of the PORTAL STAFF have suc- ceeded. As years pass, we hope this book will become a focus through which our high school days can be seen as a lucid picture. 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS FOREWORD . . . . . 3 DEDICATION ....... 4 ADMINISTRATION .... 8 SENIORS ........ 22 UNDERCLASSES . . . . 44 ATHLETICS . . . . 58 ACTIVITIES . . . . 74 JUNIOR HIGH . . . . 108 PATRONS . . . . . 134 OUR THANKS . . . . 136 MR. CHARLES PUCKEY A TRIBUTE TO SKILL AND SERVICE The businessmen of this area pre- sented a clock-radio to Coach Puckey in order to show in some small way their appreciation for the time and effort he gave freely in coaching our basketball team to victory. Without Mr. Puckey's excellent coaching, it is not feasible that our team could have traveled the road to victory. NEXT COMES THE FIFTY MILE HIKE Who says we aren't physically fit? Under Mr. Puckey's direction these boys take part in a vital part of our curricu- lum-physical education class. A well- rounded education provides for both mental and physical training. In Mr. Puckey's classes, boys not only learn physical fitness, but also team spirit and good sportsmanship. Because we feel that his work in teaching and coaching has been excel- lent and that he has been a credit to our school, we proudly dedicate the '63 POR- TAL to Mr. Charles Puckey. The teachers and administrators, in loco parentis, are probably one of the most impor- tant group of people in a student's life. By offering advice and guidance, they have helped in planning a future for all those seek- ing it. As they try to render assistance, as well as to set examples, they look for the best in every pupil whether it be in character or personality. Their help has been almost im- measurable. They encourage students to pur- sue a career suited for them. They try to help the student understand diFficult subiects and help him improve his grades. Although it is often not realized, the teachers put in a lot of hard work both during and after school. Their task as a teacher or an administrator is never ending. There are always questions to be an- swered, tests to be given, schedules to be made out, etc. Although there is much hard work, the teachers and administrators are re- warded by the friendship, respect, and admi- ration of the students. 6 ADMINISTRATION AC H I EVES ITS GOALS The school board achieved one of its goals this year when the new grade school was com- pleted. In addition, new academic programs have been introduced into our school program. Plans for the accreditation of our high school are being handled by Mr. Harper. Future expan- sion ofthe high school building will be necessary to meet the growing student body. This will pose another problem 'For the school board. The lack of available teachers and our need for so many make it diFFicult to secure the best. Nevertheless, the school board makes certain our teachers are capable, well-trained individuals. They work diligently to meet the constant demands of our expanding community. We would like to ex- press our sincere thanks to the men who are pro- viding the executive action which is vital to a good educational system. Members of the board, from left to right, are: Mr. Gilbert, Mr. Yost, Mr. Robel, Mr. McQuaide, Mr. Wingard, Mr. Hoffman, and Mr. Blough. EVERYTHING A-OKAY Mr. Victor R. Zack has many clerical duties. The two ele- mentary schools at Rachel Hill and also the Senior High build- ing provide multitudes of records which must be kept in order. Since his oFfice is located at the Church Grove building, Mr. Zack is seldom seen at the Senior High. However, it is real- ized that his responsibilities are important in the managing of the Richland Township School District. MR. HERLINGER LEADS THE WAY The man who is a major key in de- veloping and improving the Richland Township School District is Mr. Fred W. Herlinger, Superintendent. During his three years as supervising principal Mr. Herlinger has played an important role in the building of the elementary schools. He has never failed in performing his duties. The seniors in particular have been aware of the changes instituted by Mr. Herlinger. Some of them have affected us and others have not. Those students in the grade school and iunior high can be assured that, through Mr. Herlinger's eFforts, they well receive the best educa- tion he can provide. NO TIME OUT Very little time can be spared during his long busy day. Mr. Herlinger, as director of our administration, must formulate school policies for the betterment of the Richland Township School District. This deals not only with academic and financial problems, but also in the realm of extracurricular activities. His primary concern is to assist the students at Richland in every way possible. 9 He has also done further study in educa- tional administration at the University of Pittsburgh and at West Virginia Univer- sity. For the first 'Few months Mr. Harper stayed in the background working dili- gently to understand and improve our school system. However, his constant supervision was felt. Mr. Harper also worked cooperatively with the various club advisors to provide students with an opportunity to plan extracurricular activities. FILLS POSITION OF HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL Mr. William Harper came to Richland in August, 1962. His first position was at Richhill Twp. High School, Wind Ridge, Pa. For the next eight years, Mr. Harper was principal at West Green Junior and Senior High School, Rogersville, Pa. Prior to that he served as Assistant Professor of Business Administration at Waynes- boro College, Waynesboro, Pa. where he received his Bachelor of Science in Busi- ness Administration. ln addition, Mr. Harper has a Mas- ter's Degree in Letters obtained from the University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, Pa. MISS RUSSELL SERVES AS GUIDANCE COUNSELOR Always with the student's interest at heart, Miss Russell works continually to insure our success now and after graduation. Long before we don the white cap and gown she has helped us plan our future. Miss Russell uses her experience in teaching and traveling to aid her everyday work. The large classes in future years will make her work more difficult. We feel she will still maintain an understanding of each individual student. Miss Rus- sell surely deserves a thank you from all. CONSIDER THE BASIC SEVEN TYPING TEAM In the top Miss Jeschonek, Mr. McLeary's secretary, and Miss Smith, Mr. Herlinger's secretary, are shown. In the bottom left picture is Mr. Harper's secretary, Mrs. Hershberger. Mrs. Rodgers, Mr. Zack's sec- retary, completes the group. The work of these highly capable secretaries is vital to the administration and to the school. Mrs. McLeary, our Richland dietitian has sufficient- ly and effectively directed our cafeteria program since her recent arrival. Economics and a deep understand- ing of food values is essential for a well organized schedule. Since being a dietitian is a time consuming job, its holder must be devoted and dependable.

I7 TEACHING LABORATORY Perhaps the most important phase ofa teacher's education is his student teaching. Although classroom work is essential, one must have training in actual teaching. To be able to conduct a class well is an art which takes time to develop. Many young men and women are learning that art here at Richland. At the right are: Mr. Burgeson, Biology: Miss Shatter, Home Economicsg Mr. Wissinger, World Culturesp and Miss Hay. At the left are: Mr. Burelli, Biology: Mr. Morris, American Historyp Mr. Torquato, World Cultures. All were stu- dents at Indiana State College. 18 l Winter driving added to the problems of our drivers. The new grade school and junior high buildings are filled with voices of students transported by the drivers. Split-second timing is required to transport all stu- dents 'From their homes to the re- spective schools on schedule. JACK-OF-ALL-TRADES THIS SHOULD BE ENOUGH The closed lunch hour gave the stu- dents more time to eat and also time to eat more. It was an everyday occurrance to see a tray stacked high with double servings. The ladies who prepare our lunches manage to have them ready on time. The aroma of what's cooking fills the corridors making everyone hun- gry long before fifth period. LEAVE THE DRIVING TO US If we had a most wanted list at Richland Township High School, Mr. Jeschonek would probably head it. When an indi- vidual or group needs help in setting up a mike, finding sets for a play, or seeking boxes for Christmas Food Baskets, Mr. Jes- chonek is always there with a willing hand. During the school day or any other time, he can always be depended upon. -1 19 At last we hold the coveted position. We have spent many yesterdays dreaming and waiting for this time. Today we are Seniors. Of course, we have set our sights on tomor- row, but our hearts belong to today. These hearts are carefree, proud, and perhaps a lit- tle sentimental. After spending twelve years preparing for the future, we have to now ac- cept the challenge to reach out and to grasp the door of success. ln looking forward, there are many opportunities to strive for. Choosing one is our ultimate goal. As we take the posi- tion of the leaders of today, we must present ourselves as able, mature adults, for we will be the ones to guide our nation through what- ever may be confronting it. As we look back to the passing days of high school, we do not realize that these days, which we will never experience again, have been some of the most worthwhile. 20 mm news Ami uuwuw :I nfs m PENN SYLVANIA xivlifffl 2251, --H '-1-u-...

The class of '63 chose Ray Faczan, president, Tom Beam, vice-president, Janet Hoffman, secretary, and Mary Lou Swick, treasurer. These four students contributed their time and ability to make the year a successful one. The Senior year is undoubtedly the most out- standing of all school years. Activities are num- erous. Thoughts turn to the responsibilities of the future. David W. Samuel, class advisor, guided the class through many projects. Two dances were sponsored, one being the annual Coronation Ball at which the king and queen of the class were crowned. The biggest event of the year was the three day trip to Washington, D. C. The trip was an unforgettable experience. Graduation marks a turning point in the lives of all Seniors. The future is a challenge which all hope to conquer.

We must hope for the best We'cl hate to have any disruptions in the school routine With Miss Cominsky as overseer we assume that all under control. An underclassman can be compared to a diamond in the rough. He has the potential to become polished and sparkling. Each year as an underclassman, the student becomes more refined. Striving to achieve success and rec- ognition, he works hard to reach the ulti- matum, to be a senior, respected and popular. As he strives toward this goal his grades be- come more important. His outlook in life has changed completely. His life itself seems to fly by without him knowing where it is going. He takes an interest in the advice and guid- ance of his teachers, for now is the time he will mould his future. Someday he may be the teacher, the engineer, the astronaut, or even the President of the United States. 42 .MV in 38 3 s i 1 3 EQ 1, 5 Q i Q 5 Q . X ' Q Q M, is Mlm, ,X in ,M 'mn ., C. Adams M.

FUTURE GRADUATES The Junior Class always has a busy year. The main activities of the class this year were the ordering of class rings, the Christmas can- dy sales, the choosing of the class symbols and the Junior-Senior Prom on May 3'I. WHAT SALES UNION? Candy captains, Pra- zich, Logar, Hunt, Hor- ner, Stoner, Bittner, Lan- gerholc, Irons, and Yost offered devoted service to the cause. Under the direction of Miss Tho- mas, the class was able to exceed its goal. Hard work and cooperation made the difference be- tween a successful or un- successful drive. With strong class participa- tion and able leadership from the captains, the class was able to collect a more than suFI'icient amount. The symbols chosen by the class of '64 were the colors, beige and brown, and the yellow rose. The essence of success is the desire to succeed was chosen as their motto. v 4 I s .

Here the Sophomore leaders Skip Rowland, vice president, Edie Bishop, treasurer, Gaye Petz, secretary, and Terry Pur- baugh, president, convene with their advisor, Mr. Maquilken to discuss various issues of impor- tance to the class. DESTINATION - SHEEPSKIN Now that Richland has a separate Junior High School all Sophomores are able to attend the Senior High. They look forward with anxiety to the oncom ing events which will confront them in their remaining two years of high school College has come out of the dark and presented itself as the dominant oblectlve in the picture of the future. They take a big step toward maturity in their sopho more year and direct their thoughts toward the life following graduation We find the future in the younger generation. Health, which was previous- ly a Senior subiect, is now pres- ent on the Sophomore schedule. Personal care and essential un- derstanding of the human body are major parts of a person's education and cannot be over- looked. lT'S THE CONVOLUTIONS THAT COUNT! 55 Whether it be in football, basketball, base- ball, or track, the varsity athlete has a well coordinated and conditioned body, both physi- cally and mentally. Just as it takes a nation as a whole to succeed, it takes a team as a whole to have victory. Here at Richland Town- ship, we can be proud of our athletes for their outstanding performances and their sports- manship presented both on the playing field and on the floor. Thus, in doing so, they have set examples for the oncoming athletes who will replace them, and they have gained great respect and admiration for our school body. ln glancing through the following pages, look at their faces and remember that these are the boys who have strived hard to participate and to represent our school in competition among the various schools in the outlying communities. 56 3 x 'x YN ff? 4 A x W 45 K ,,f 5x Row'l: Coach Puckey, Coach Pruchnic, Hershiser, Barkhimer, Fabish, Jardina, Boyko, Burman, Horner, Coach McCrae.

BETTER THAN AVERAGE SEASON The Richland Rams Varsity gridders finished the '62 season turning in a fine record of five wins, three losses, and one tie. The Rams scored victories over Everett, Franklin, Portage, Blairs- ville, and Bedford. While holding the opponents to 98 points, the Rams scored 155. Two shut-out games, one against Portage and the other against Franklin, were two of the RHS team's achievements this past season. The final home game of the year was the night set aside for all the players to be honored. The night was dampened, however, when our boys were defeated by Conemaugh Township. Next week, the season was closed in fine style as the RHS boys soundly rolled over Everett 46-7. VARSITY MANAGERS INCONSPICUOUS BUT INDISPENSABLE The often ignored varsity managers turned in another of the long list of superbly man- aged seasons. Their main purpose was car- ing 'For the players and equipment. Under the supervision of Mr. Kipp, they were al- ways on the iob answering to the wishes of the coaches and players. Sept. 7 Sept.

This is the time when the players and coaches ioin together to pray a silent prayer. This time is surely a rewarding moment for all con- cerned. 59 SENIORS FRANK FABISH Speed and driving power were the combination our fullback used to enable him to lead the Rams in touchdowns and extra points totaling over 50. Frank served as co-captain and also gained honorable mention in the Tribune-Democrat All Scholastic Team. JOE JARDINA Co-captain of the Varsity, Joe proved himself well worthy of his regular halfback position. Lightning-like speed, agility, and ability in handling the ball resulted in many long runs. During his three years on the Varsity squad he was truly an outstanding offensive player. JACK BOYKO Small in size but not in ability, Jack served as first string quar- terback calling the signals for the Rams. Level headed action and prompt, accurate decisions made him a first rate player and, in turn, greatly helped in the Rams cause. GERRY BURMAN One ofthe smaller men on the R.H.S. team, Gerry held a regu- lar berth as halfback. Demonstrating his usefulness in strength- ening the backfield, his quick action and fine ball handling were of great value in many offensive drives. 60 JIM BARKHIMER Being the Big Man of the Richland Eleven, he formed an un- shakeable stone wall as the defensive tackle. Determined to do his best and to win, Jim became the Keystone in the R.H.S. line. Very few opponents succeeded in surpassing this tackle. MARK TROSTLE Unfaltering is the word best describing Mark. Earning the center position, he proved highly valuable on both the offensive and defensive teams. As a reward for his fine work, he was given honorable mention by the Tribune-Democrat All Scholastic Team. TOM HART Hard to beat as regular tackle, Tom was a sturdy asset on the line playing both otfense and defense. Hard hitting and excel- lent blocking stopped many attacking drives by the Rams' foes. A superb fighting spirit made Tom invaluable. BILL MUNDWILER Skip supplemented the main eleven many times this year as a defensive halfback. Although he was hampered by an in- jured shoulder, whenever there was a pass play, Skip could be seen breaking it up. His quickness in the defensive backfield prevented many touchdown passes from being completed. MIKE LAZER Mike did his part this year at defensive end. He was one more man for our strong line. During the games, he could be seen flashing in from his end position to throw the opponents for a loss. 61 Coach Puckey, Horner, Decker, Parker, Schmidt, Purbaugh, Hammer. Row 2: Beam, Smith, Hutzler, Knipple, Faczan, Fabish, Faith, Rowland. VARSITY POSTS 18-6 RECORD VARSITY BASKETBALL 1962-63 The Varsity cagers finished the season with RHS Opp an 18-6 won-lost record.

The Rams, for the second consecutive year, dominated the Annual Windber Rotary Basket- 55 55 53 75 ball Tournament by winning the championship, taking the team sportsmanship trophy, and plac- 29 ing two players on the All-Tourney Team. 75 The team then suffered two losses to the pow- 68 erful teams of Franklin and Johnstown Central. 72 The Rams finished out the season with 11 76 wins and only 2 losses. Included in these were 49 single victories over East Conemaugh, Bishop McCort, Nanty-Glo, Triangle Area, and West- mont. Double victories were recorded against Adams, Laurel Valley, and Portage. The two 50 losses were at the hands of Franklin and East 63 Conemaugh. 54 The Rams finished out their highly successful season by competing in the District 6-B playoffs.

To sweep the tournament as last year's team was a challenge for the Rams who were considered un- derdogs. The competing teams were Bishop McCort, who previously had beaten the Rams, Somerset and East Conemaugh. In the first game the Rams polished oFf the rangy East Conemaugh team. On the second night, the Rams took on the favored Bishop McCort team. Through determina- tion and hustle, the mighty Richland five came from be- hind in the 'Fourth quarter to seal the tournament. The dominating Rams also took the coveted team sportsman- ship trophy and placed Ray Faczan and Clyde Horner on the All-Tourney team. ESSENTIAL FOR VICTORY The pre-game warm up is spent getting loosened up for the games. The Rams use various drills so that when the whistle is sounded, they will be ready for action. LET'S GO! As the buzzer sounds for the start of the game, the players assemble around the coach. In the huddle they receive their final instructions of do's and don'ts. Here, the team is ready to break the huddle and go out to win another victory for the school. 63 RAY FACZAN Pacing the Ram cagers, the tall man was top re- bounder and led the team in points scored. Ray, who served as captain of the team, was an outstanding center. TOM BEAM Controlling and hand- ling the ball were Tom's specialties. As a regular starting guard, his coolness and untiring action on the court gained many points for the Rams. FRANK FABISH The task of rebounds come on the list of duties for Frank. Handling this iob with skill and ease, he deserved his spot as guard with the regular tive. TERRY HAMMER Adding reserve strength as a forward to the main five, Terry's aggressive- ness quickened the pace of the RHS cagers many times this season. JUMP UP HIGH Ray Faczan and Adam's Gary Pat- rick are involved in a jump ball. Each player hopes that his team will finally come up with the ball. The lump ball starts the game and is used whenever two opposing players have the ball at the same time. RAISE THE SCORE The ball swishes through the hoop and two more points are added to the Richland score. This action takes place during the first meeting of Richland and Adams on the Ram's court. Richland used their zone press to break the game wide open and gain an easy victory over the Hornets. 65 REBOUND ACTION Ray Faczan tights two McCort players, Stofa and Kur- owski, under the boards for a rebound. Frank Fabish watches and hopes that Ray gets possession of the ball. Each Richland rebound is a vital part of the game, for a rebound can be turned into a basket for the Rams. AI- though the Rams did not have superior height this year, Frank and Ray were able to gain their share of rebounds on both the offensive and defensive boards.

ANOTHER WINNING SEASON FOR THE JUNIOR VARSITY The JV basketball team turned in another suc- cessful season of fifteen wins and only five losses. The expectations generated by the defeat of their first two opponents were somewhat dampened by a three game losing streak. Not to be out- done, Coach Puckey's squad bounced back for the next fifteen games showing thirteen wins and only two losses. With this experienced and successful nucleus for next year's varsity team, RHS can look for- ward to another fine season.

FINE SEASON FOR RICHLAND'S NINE The Richland nine, having improved greatly over last season, downed seven of ten opponents. Overcoming their first three teams, the Rams were halted by a three game losing streak. They then went on to finish the sea- son with four successive victories. Coach Pruchnic provided the boys with the experi- ence and know-how that winning teams need. Next year the Rams are determined to better their already fine record.

TRAC KMEN SETTING RECORDS Though not having the crowds drawn by football and basketball, track is a favorite sport at Richland. The RHS trackmen found themselves against some hard opposition this season, but they had the stamina and deter- mination to come through with a fine record. Our trackmen proved to be a hard squad to beat. Win, lose or tie the boys showed the good sportsmanship Richland is noted for. Coach Emil DeMarco did a fine iob of coaching ancl training the boys. Without his ability to get a little more effort from each run- ner, many victories would have been defeats. ON YOUR MARK During practice, Terry Hammer and Jack Boyko are set, waiting for the sound of the gun, to streak towards the finish line. Prelim- inary trials are held at the practices before the meets. The winners of these trials then get the opportunity to compete in the regular meet the following day.

JV CHEERLEADERS Karen Klimeck, Linda Kirschman, Judy Kuhlman, Cheryl Irons, Sue Weller, Linda Ream, Mary Lesosky. The Junior Varsity Cheerleaders have done a fine iob this year. Their pep and spirit helped to lead the J. V. teams to victory many times at both football and basketball games. Long hours ot practice were devoted to learn- JAYVEES IN ACTION The J. V.'s, cheering with in- creasing energy, were not sur- passed by other J. V. squads. Practice during the summer and after school helped to co-ordi- nate the girls in their cheering. ing the cheers and perfecting them. The re sult was a squad which brought credit to Rich land. Leading the J. V.'s were Judy Kuhlman who served as captain, and Mary Lesosky, co captain. Mrs. Heinze was their advisor. Kormanlk Swlck Krasovlc Bittner Hoffman, Yost, Peiz, S'uart, Hornick, Smith. Seen and heard at all Varsity football and basketball games are our ten Varsity cheerlead- ers. The squad consisted of six seniors, two iun- iors, and two sophomores with the addition of Pam Gaston, also a senior, during basketball season. Early in June the girls started practice and continued to work throughout the summer. Dances and pep rallies were iust a few of their many duties in addition to the cheerleading con- test and regular games. Always neat and pep- py, they have enthusiasm to spare. Hats off to Richland's cheerleaders and their advisor, Mrs. Louis Heinze, Ignoring the bitter cold weather, our faithful cheer- leaders donned slacks and mittens and, as usual, were on hand to cheer our team to victory. Everyone pres- ent, however, was warmed somewhat when an im- pressive victory was scored for the final, and perhaps the coldest game of the year. 70 SENICR CHEERLEADERS Janet Hoffman Norma Yost Mary Lou Swick Gail Stuart Peggy Hornick , .loan Kormanik VICTO RS TON IGHT The Nineteenth Annual Cheering Con- test at the War Memorial proved highly re- warding for our Varsity cheerleaders this year. They were victorious in capturing and returning home with a well-deserved Third Place trophy, one of several trophies received by Richland's cheerleaders. 71 This year we can look back to those mem- orable occasions which were the Coronation Ball, the Pep Club Dance, and the climax of the year, the Junior-Senior Prom. ln remem- bering these times, we can also think of the organizations and their contributions. The Drama Club with its performances, the spring concert presented by our band and chorus, the Pep Club with its activity at the basketball and football games. All of these and many others have made it a rewarding year for the RHS students. While looking through this sec- tion, try to find yourself in the formal shots of the organizations. If you do not find your own photo, make it a point next year to be- come a member and do your part in making Richland Township a very active group of stu- dents. ln doing so, students, we laud you. 72 'QAM X 3 K , f' I N- 'P 'sr Pl s v- Qlu.-5.3 kx gigggikk Y N :pw ,5 .

YEARBOOK PRODUCTION IS COOPERATIVE EFFORT Advisor Mr. William Maquilken meets here with his Editorial Staff. Much time was spent by Ray Fac- zan, Layout Editor, Mary Lou Swick, Editor-in-Chief, Lynda Zarisky, Copy Editor, and Ron Samuel, Assistant Editor, in the preparation of the 63 Portal. Lone man on the Art Staff ofthe Portal, Jack Boyko is adding the finishing touch to an outstanding public- ity poster. Jack tackled well the job of designing this year's cover and arranging the division page layouts. 74 Editors and staff members appointed at the end of the 1961-62 school term got an early start planning and prepar- ing Volume 18. The photography staff with the help of Cover Studio did a commendable job with the many pictures taken both in and out ot school. The patron drive, subscription sales, and write-ups were well under way by the middle of the school year. Mr. Maquilken, the editors and staff all contributed to make the Portal a suc- cess. Linda Friedman cmd Sandy Riffle car- ried out the task of planning and laying out the Senior section of our yearbook. Drew lvancic, Frank Fabish, and Norma Yost followed with the Sports section. Here stuff members Joan Kormanik, Nancy Wolf, Terry Purbcxugh, Cheryl Irons, Joan Pataky, and Peggy Hornick, are sorting out pictures and trying to cle- cide which ones to use. Barry Hofecker and Tim Yost are busy here cropping pictures. They played a vital part on the Portal staff, taking all candid and ac- tion shots of dances, games, and the like. They also assisted the photographers from Cover Studio when group pictures were being taken. As in the past, the Portal's main fund rais- ing campaign was the patron drive. Seen here Susie Gilbert, Gail Stuart and Joyce Shaf- fer are checking the lists to make sure all con- tributors are accounted for. STUDENT GOVERNMENT The Student Council has two major purposes. These are the improvement of both the students and the school. In the past year our council has tried to achieve both aims. The Hall Monitor sys- tem sponsored by the Student Council has been improved. A dance, the Football Finale, was sponsored by the Council and was highly success- ful. The Ram handbook has proved to be of great use to new and old students alike. The Student Council has supported two major fund drives, the United Fund Campaign, and the Johnstown College New Campus Fund. The Christmas food baskets distributed to needy fam- ilies are a symbol of what combined student ef- ort can accomplish. Although this was Miss Hoff- man's first year as advisor, the manner in which she performed her duties was highly commend- able. REGULAR MEMBERS The officers of the Student Council must con- stantly keep in mind the responsibility of service to the student body and to the school. Shown here Mary Lou Swick, secretary, Ray Faczan, vice- president, Norma Yost, chaplain, Janet Hoffman, parliamentarian, Tom Beam, treasurer, Lynda Zarisky, president, and Ellen Reed, assistant chaplain are in the process of packing Christmas food baskets for needy families.

MONITORS PROVE EFFECTIVE Serving our student body during their study halls were the strategically situated Hall Moni- tors. A branch ofthe Student Council, this group helped police the halls. The system of registra- tion when in the halls, other than between classes, has proved an effective check against hall roamers. As we were saying, our more dedicated stu- dents sacrifice their study halls to serve faithfully as Hall Monitors. Actually, Sylvia Havener, Lin- da Ellsworth, and Mike Lazer are discussing the various difficulties a monitor must face. 77 1963 INDUCTION SERVICE STRONG LEADERS MAKE A GOOD SOCIETY The ofificers of the Paragon Chapter of the Na- tional Honor Society were selected from the students who ioined the group as juniors last year. These oH'icers include: Tim Hunt, President, Mary Lou Swick, Treasurer, Miss Green, Advisor, Thomas Beam, Vice-President, and Barbara Komisar, Secre- tary Cabsent when picture was takenl. These offi- cers along with the other '62 members were respon- sible for the planning and presentation of the induc- tion ceremony. They were also in charge of busi- ness meetings which the group conducted. Along with Miss Green, the ofificers have helped the so- ciety to maintain its high standards. 78 Row 'l: Swick, Gilbert, Zarisky. Row 2: Beam, Langerholc, Hunt. HONOR SCJCIETY MEMBERSHIP-- Twelve students, including three seniors and nine juniors, possessing the qualities of charac- ter, scholarship, leadership, and service were granted membership in the National Honor So- ciety. This is one of the highest honors that can be attained in high school. These students were chosen from eligible candidates by the Faculty Council. The ceremony began with brief ex- planations of the four qualities by members of the society. A senior student, Connie George sang You'll Never Walk Alone. Mr. William Harper, high school principal, administered the oath to the new members. The ceremony ended A CH ERISH ED POSSESSION with the singing of The Lord's Prayer by Mr. David Samuel, faculty member. The society proved to be beneficial again by providing a tutoring service for students. An- other service for the student body was career night. Local people of various occupations were invited to lecture on their profession to interested students. The group climaxed the year's activities by holding a banquet at Ripples' Inn, April 13. For- mer members were invited to attend. To date the society boasts 143 members since T952 when the society was formed. 79 Row 'l: Horvath, Prazich, Reed, Kormanik, Irons.

Aside from the regular month- ly meetings, Richland F.T.A.ers participated in region and coun- ty conventionsp visited the State Rehabilitation Center, were guests at a Windber club meet- ing, and had the Ferndale FTA as their guests at one of their meetings. Seen here, cadet teacher Judy Kuhlman is assist- ing parents the night of Open House, for which the club acted as ushers. The Future Teachers of America with Miss Sue Green as advisor, gained classroom experience on both elemen- tary and secondary levels. Observing and teaching classes was an event proposed to help club members in the decision of whether to be or not to be a teacher. Ellen Reed and Jack Boyko were chosen as Richland's chief delegates to the State Convention in Harrisburg, and Senior Bill Kenny was elected President of the Cambria County branch of the P.F.T.A. Serving as oFlicers of the club were Peggy Hornick, president, Brenda Zedlar, vice-president, Lois DeBiase, secretary, and Pam Berish, treasurer. l 80 SOLVING PROBLEMS OF THE WORLD There may be a future U.S. delegate to the United Nations at R.H.S. lf there is, he no doubt is a member of our Student U.N. Club. The mem- bers of this group study the rising problems of the present world and discuss possible solutions to them. Members of this group agree that the club is both educational and fun. The club at- tended the Student United Nations Session which was held in Pittsburgh on April T9 and 20. While in Pittsburgh the members attended the planned activities and accordingly met many new friends. The trip was enioyed by all. FOR A GOOD CAUSE A familiar sight at home basketball games was the refreshment table. lt was manned by the U.N. Club members. This group also spon- sored dances after Friday night home games. In this manner the members raised money for the trip to Pittsburgh while they served the school. Elected as otticers of the U.N. Club were: Bob Kidd, president, Pat Lee, vice- president, Julie Prazich, secretary, Clark Saylor, treasurer, Susie Gilbert and Lyn- da Zarisky, parliamentarian. Miss Green is the advisor ofthe group.

ECHO SUCCESSFULLY PUBLISHED WEEKLY News, action, sports events, club activities, elections! Wherever you find these happenings, you find eager Echo reporters taking notes to re- port to the rest of the school. Echo, the school's official newspaper, is printed once a week. Mr. Hozik, advisor of the Echo, was a great help in seeing that deadlines were made. He did a commendable iob aiding the students in criticizing the different write-ups turned in by his staff. Although sometimes not able to reach their publication goal, they, nevertheless, turned out an enjoyable newspaper every week. The paper contained many different news items-among them dances, club news, faculty news, and many editorials and added features. Never missing a sports event the reporter always related accurate happenings of football, basketball, baseball, and track events to the stu- dent body. Excellent work by the staFF proved a big pay-off for all. Row'l: Himes, Heidorn, VanEiken Row 1: McMillan, Shatter, Hileman, Mr. Hozik. Row 2: Dravis, Hcmak, DeBartola, Row 2: Knapp, Milazzo.

The cast of this play is shown in the upper right photo. The second play, Thunder on Syca- more Street was performed for the public the eve- nings of March 7 and 8. Other activities of the group included Christmas caroling and the order- ing of pins for the members. In the lower right photo the stagehands are shown. Without the work of these people we could not have enioyed the many plays and assemblies this year. Officers ofthe Dramatics Club are: Jack Boyko, vice president, Joe Sukenik, presi- dent, Janis Thirkell, secretary, and Barbara Morbit, treasurer.

JACKETS DISTINGUISH LETTERMEN Advised by Coach Don McCrae and led by President Joe Jardina, the Varsity R is an honorary club for lettermen. To qual- ify for membership, one must letter either in football, basketball, baseball, or track. Various activities of the group include coat checking and ushering at basketball games, selling Ram auto decals, and sponsoring an annual fund raising dance. Members are easily distinguished by their red and blue Varsity R jackets. Otificers include Frank Fabish, vice-presi- dent, Joe Jardina, Rick Slatcott, treasurer, and Jack Boyko, secretary. DOLLAR DAY DOWN TOWN? No, it's just a few of our dependable Varsity R coatcheckers after one of the basketball games.

SUB SALE SMASHING SUCCESS nw Q56 S lf: ' 2? r Of the many Pep Club money making projects, the sub sale proved the most successful. Over twelve hun- dred subs were sold by the girls in the organization. They contributed many of the ingredients and pur- chased the remainder. In the process of making the subs, the girls started early, and, working in shifts, completed them by supper time. 88 OUR PEPPY PEP CLUB The Pep Club was one of the most active or- ganizations at Richland this year. The girls con- tributed greatly in promoting school spirit and clean sportsmanship throughout the past sea- sons. At any sports event you can always hear them cheering their team on to victory. Win or lose, our teams were always backed by this fine group of girls. Although Mr. and Mrs. Louis Heinze were in their first year as advisors, they did a commend- able fob in leading the girls through many activi- OFFICERS ON THE GO The Pep Club officers did a fine iob in organizing and following through their many activities.

Limited not only to sports events, they also participated in many other worthwhile proiects. Among them are the car wash at the Richland Fire Hall, a submarine sale, the annual Pep Club Dance, the selling of booster buttons during both football and basketball season. The strong support of the Pep Club at the Cheering Contest this year helped the cheerlead- ers greatly in capturing third place honors. Their formation of Rams in red was one example of their never-dying school spirit. STUDENT EFFORT FOR SUCCESS Row1: L. Benzon, C. Horner, B. Hofecker, D. Murphy, J. Horner. Row 2: F. Heming, G.

SING ALONG WITH RlCH The Senior High Mixed Chorus, under the direction of Mr. Richard Cuppett, took pride in presenting a separate concert on April 27th. This year three extracurricular groups were formed. They are the Girls' Ensemble, the Girls' Sextette and the Boys' Quartette. These groups met after school. Connie George, Gretchen Redick, Ken Diable and Gary Naugle qualified for District Chorus which was held in Leechburg, Pennsyl- vania. Gretchen also had the honor of attending State Chorus held at Conemaugh Township High School this year. The following were elected as the officers for the 1962-63 school term: Karen Mochtley and Brenda Zedlar, librarians, Connie George, secretary, Janet Hoffman, vice-president, Clyde Horner, treasurer, and Gary Naugle, president. Last year the Richland music department, through combined efforts of the chorus and band, presented its concert entitled Rythmic Rainbows. In follow- ing the theme, the chorus per- formed numbers of different tempo, style, and origin. Among the favorites were: Louise, Little Brown Jug, Tuxedo Junction, Rockin' Red Wing, and the encore, Ode to Amer- ica, in which both chorus and band personnel participated. 91 Row 'l: Reeder, Hetrick, Scholael.

C. This year, that honor went to the Marching Rams of 1962-63. ln order to make the journey to Washington, it was necessary for all band members to participate in various money making pro- jects. This they engaged in wholeheartedly. The Marching Rams have also won recognition for Richland in several parades throughout the year. The high-stepping maiorettes were quite an asset to the Marching Rams of 1962 and 1963. With sparkling performances, they contrib- uted greatly to both football and basketball half-time shows. Surrounded by the group's admiring omcers, President Don Wil- son is seen here modeling one of the band's new uniforms. Other officers include: Row 'lz Skip Rowland, Bill Ketterer. Row 2: Gretchen Redick, Susie Hershberger, Sandy Bender, Frank Heming. Row 3: Nan Reeder, Kathy Stewart, Bill Cover, Robin Lewis, Ed Chaplain, and Jeff Smith. i WHAT A GOAL POST! Posing a bit different for their group picture this year are the Richland Ramettes Elain Rod- key, Candy Killen, Pat Lythgoe, Judy Mrsnik, Lucky Curry, Ann Langerholc, Betty Finch and Debbie Vince. 94 Puttsy Bittner and Rick Slcxtcotcf, Peggy Hornick and Gerry Burmon, Monry Lou Swick and Skip Mundwiler, Norma Yost and Joe Jcrclino, Goil Stuart omol Frank Fobish, Joinet Hoffman ond .lock Boyko, Sandy Krcsovic and Clyde Horner. KING AND QUEEN LEAD COURT IN ROYAL DANCE FOOTBALL MONARCHS CROWNED .Ice Jordinc: and Norma Yost were crowned king and queen of football out the Football Finale on November 30. The dance was sponsored by the Student Council. The court consisted of two iunior couples ond five senior couples. Although there was stiff competition, cull felt that Queen Norma ond King Joe were deserving of their crowns, 95 Mary Lou Swlck and Jack Boyko SENIORS CROWN KING AND QUEEN Ray Faczan and Lynda Zarisky were crowned King and Queen of the Senior Class of 1963 at the Coronation Ball on January 12. The purpose of this annual event, sponsored by the Seniors, is to select, as King and Queen, the two students who have kept in stride with their class motto, Leadership for some, Achievement for many, and Service for alI. Ray and Lynda were cer- tainly deserving of this honor. The high school gym was decorated in the Senior Class colors, gold and white. As the couples of the court entered, the mood for the coronation was set to the strains of Moon River. After the crowning, King Ray and Queen Lynda were presented gifts bythe class. Norma Yost and Joe Jardma Linda Friedman and Tom Beam Nancy Reed and Bob Harbaugh, Linda Friedman and Tom Beam, Peggy Hornick and Bob Bassett, Lynda Zarisky and Ray Foczan, Norma Yost and Joe Jarclina, Pam Gaston and Don Wilson, Mary Lou Swick and Jack Boyko.

The full course meal served at the banquet proved to be a test for even the hearty eaters. The ban- quet was an occasion to try out a few clusty manners and etiquette. A FUNNY THING HAPPENED TO ME ON THE WAY TO THE PROM TONIGHT . . . Mr. Paul Wissler, master of ceremonies at the ban- quet, made an enjoyable evening even more enioyable by the manner in which he executed his duties. Mr. Thomas Sigmund gave the invocation. Ray Faczan, Jun- ior Class President, extended a welcome to the Seniors. Jim Reed, Senior Class President, expressed thanks to the Junior hosts. The Girls' Trio, including Connie George, Susan Pritts, and Sharon Streilein, accompanied by Judy Kaufman, entertained. The annual Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom was held on May 25, 1962, at the Sunnehanna Country Club in Westmont. Beyond the Rainbow was the theme carried out that night. The Junior Class, who served as hosts to the Seniors, were responsible for planning and financing the banquet and prom. To begin the evening, a full course meal was served. Then, after food, speakers, and entertainment, the dancing commenced. As the night ofthe prom faded, memories of this special time were formed. All will certainly remember this night as being a most enjoyable one. 9 8 What do you mean, they don't serve champagne? Well, no mat- ter, I'm sure we can get some cokes. Here a group of prom goers seem to be enjoying themselves. Perhaps the topic of conversation relates to activities after the prom. Whatever else it may be, this was undoubtedly a welcome interlude between dances. Not coming as a surprise to anyone, the twist in- vaded prom dancing. Despite beautiful gowns and heels, the girls had no trouble engaging in this par- ticular form of locomotion. As the evening progressed, no one would admit that he was growing even a little tired. This was a night he would remember always, ll the night Beyond the Rainbow. Music at the prom was provided by Bill Wilson and his orchestra. The soft numbers set a perfect atmosphere for the evening, while the twists were a welcome change to all. 99 DAN CUPID VISITS RICHLAND On February I6, 1963, the Senior High Pep Club sponsored its cinnual semi-formal dance. Held in the beautifully decorated gym, the dolnce began at 8:00 ond continued until I l:OO. In keeping with the date, the theme of the dance centered around Valentine's Day. During the main intermission, President Nancy Wolf presented the club's advisors, Mr. and Mrs. Lou Heinze, with a token of the group's appreciation. But Putts, I haven't eaten in months, was Charlie's reaction when he spied the refresh- ments. The display of sandwiches, cookies, and punch looked inviting to all who attended. The Playboys, a local group, provided the music for the evening. Choosing an ex- cellent variety of tunes, the combo sang and played many smooth, slow numbers, a few tricky cha-chas, and an occasional twist. As can be seen, everyone enioyed themselves im- mensely, including chaperones, club members, and dates alike. This year, as has been the custom in the past, graduate members and their dates were invited to the dance. Seen here, Morilyn Blough and Kerm Inman, Helen Shaffer and Lorry Horne, and Alice Kenny and D. Grow decided to take a breather after that last twist. I in DESIGNING THE BROOKLYN BRIDGE? Under the guidance of Mr. Hollick, mechanical drawing students learn how to draft, and also to use the drawing in- struments correctly. This is a valuable course for many boys, especially those who plan to enter the field of architec- ture or engineering. END OF A LONG DAY Where do you find contented stu- dents? Dismissal. At 2:45 students can be seen embarking from the institution of education. To the awaiting coaches seemingly lifeless students take on a new air as the final bell sounds. GYM CLASS? Although dancing is not the usual thing to do in gym class, these senior girls welcomed the change. This shows the efforts of Mrs. Heinze to co-operate with the PORTAL staff the day pictures were being taken for the yearbook. ESQUIRES ENTERTAIN audience. 'l0'l A new group formed at Richland this year is the dance band.

The degree of interest in sports is de- creased or increased in Junior Varsity athletics. the hot summer days couldn't keep the loyal band members from practice. Their ef- forts, as well as those of Mr. Cuppett, gave Rich- land the right to boast the best band they ever d . The cheering squad, strengthened by spirit, worked in earnest to bring honors to Richland. The cooperation of their advisor and the support of the Pep Club gave the girls the confidence they needed to win their trophy. ONLY TEN MORE MINUTES! WHISTLE WHILE YOU WORK One of the many proiects of the Pep Club this year was a car wash held at the Richland Fire Hall. The time and ef- forts spent that day are good examples of the girls' loyalty to the club. THIS CALLS FOR STRATEGY Every autumn Friday one could see the Rich- land fans fill the stadium to witness another grid- iron battle. Only at Richland can you see this spirit and enthusiasm. Varsity football has held the enchantment of the fans at Richland for IO years. LOOKS LIKE A PICNIC Although this may look like the makings of a picnic, band members will agree that practice should certainly not be described as one. However, they find time for refresh- ments several times during the day. From childhood to adolescence, from ele- mentary to iunior high, these, relatively, are the first steps in becoming young adults. As these young people grow, they will be able to fill the shoes and broaden the horizons of the present generation. For this, these pupils must now acquire the ulterior factor to learn and to accept whatever responsibility is placed up- on them. Soon these pupils will move onto a new and brighter horizon, senior high school. They will always hold in remembrance those wondrous days of adolescence. As you look through this section, remember that these are the faces and minds of the students which will soon be governing the senior high school. Upon the completion of the iunior high school building over the 1962 summer vaca- tion, the seventh, eighth, and ninth grade pu- pils were able to return as a whole body to a newly equipped and elaborate environment. In accordance we, the PORTAL staff, have re- served the following section in its entirety to the iunior high school students. 106 JUNIOR HIGH Mr. Nick Campitelli, graduate of Windber Area High School, holds the impressive title of first principal of Richland Township Junior High School. After seven years of teaching and as a coach at RHS, Mr. Campitelli took a leave of ab- sence for graduate studies at Penn State. Upon returning, he was assigned to be the assistant principal at the high school. After the Junior High School reached completion, he was chosen as its first principal. HAVEN'T WE SEEN YOU SOMEWHERE BEFORE? Miss Mary Burns, a graduate of the class of 6I, returned to the Richland Township School District last year. She is Mr. Campitelli's secretary. Having many duties to perform, she is given the title hancIyman. Her main duties are keeping student records and run- ning errands for teachers as well as Mr. Campitelli. Miss Burns said she enjoys her work and finds it very interesting. 108 Mr. Campitelli has accomplished the task of running a large school with efficiency. This is his second year as principal. Although quite busy with the responsibilities, he still finds time for coaching. During basket- ball season, he coached the undefeated Junior High team. He also helps Coach Puckey with the Varsity and Junior Varsity teams and with the winter recreation program held on Saturdays. l RESPONSIBILITY PLUS JUNIOR HIGH FACULTY Judy Stoltz .............,......

Although everything is new and spa- cious, it is still hard work preparing a meal for so many students. The method of serving is the same as at the high school. Members of the kitchen staff are: Ruth Kring, Rita Marsden, Vera Holsop- ple, Julia Shaller, Stella Sushereba, Lena Morely, Margaret Vezi, Mrs. Lang, and Irene Holman. I JUNIOR HIGH HANDYMEN A custodians' work is never ended. There is always something to be re- paired or something to be cleaned. They keep the Junior High shining im- maculately. There are too many odd jobs to do as the regular ones. The responsibilities ot these men are too numerous to mention, but each and everyone is done well. Shown here are Graham Wissinger, John Marcin- ko, and Dean Way. II3 D. Cann C. Cemo M. Chuba D. Cigich C. Condron R Coyle C. Cummins S Davis J DeBarto L. Dereant J. Deshong S Dick J. Donate D.

YOU JUST CAN'T BEAT US Not iust an empty boast, the Junior High cag- ers were unbeatable. The Little Rams, coached by Emil DeMarco and Nick Campitelli, ended the season with an enviable 16 wins and no losses. Twelve of these victories came at the expense of foes in the Conemaugh Valley Jr. High League thus making our team champions for the third consecutive year. Proving themselves rugged and determined, the Jr. High registered victories over United, Bishop McCort, Conemaugh, West- mont, Ferndale, Conemaugh Township, Franklin and Adams.

JUNIOR HIGH SPLITS EVEN JUNIOR HIGH FOOTBALL - 1962 The Little Rams, after losing their first three games, got on the winning trail this year. The undiscouraged gridders made a strong come- back the second half of the season. Coached by Emil DeMarco and Richard Matey, the young Rams finished the season in grand style. HOW DO WE LOOK MRS. SILK? Under the critical eye of Mrs. Jack Silk, the group's advisor, the Junior High cheerleaders performed their cheers with near per- fect precision. Always look- ing neat and trim, their uniforms consisted of blue skirts and red vests sym- bolic of RichIand's colors. Linda Thatcher and Linda Crelli served as captain and co-captain.

ALTERNATES In its second year of functioning, the student council was a success in student governorship and the overall student leadership of the school. Helping with the orientation and dedication of the new junior high building, they proved capa- ble of directing the many guests to the various parts of the building. Throughout the school year they sponsored a coming events sign in the cafeteria, the lost and found, and the student supply in which school supplies are sold every lunch period. Two dances presented by the Student Council were remembered by all in attendance. Co-advisors, Mr. Campitelli and Mr. Pruchnic, directed the Student Council through many more proiects too numerous to mention. Row'l: Marunich, Senft, Just, Leone, Grove, Layton.

The bell ringing a minute before the end of the period automatically excused the hall monitors to open doors of all classrooms. This makes it more convenient for stu- dents to change classes. Keeping order in the halls is expected of the hall moni- tors and they achieved this goal through- out the school year. Traffic in the halls during the periods was slight and those requesting to leave the classrooms dur- ing class had to sign out with the class teacher. Kneeling: Turner, Birtle, Coyle.

OUR THANKS There are many people who make possible the presen- tation of a yearbook. A co-operative and enthusiastic staFF is a great potential force, but more than this is needed. Without the staunch backing of the senior class and the junior class, this yearbook could have been little more than a noble effort. Various other organizations and clubs have greatly aided the PORTAL. We also recognize the fine job of photography done by Cover Studios. The co-operation of the Zimmerman Engraving Company and Kurtz Bros. Printing Company was greatly appreciated. Although it is not possible to thank everyone personally, the editors and staFF appreciate the eFforts of all those who contributed to the publication of the PORTAL. 'I36
