5 Foreword Hello! In our T955 Robin you will see that we, the senior class of Robinson Town- ship High School, Moon Run, Pennsylvania, have chosen still life as our theme. We have selected this because we feel that an abstract conviviality binds our class. This closeness has been inherent for about twelve years, and naturally, it increased as we grew older. Of course, we had our ups and downs, and our closeness abandoned us temporarily. Yet, by the time we reached junior high school, we were really beginning to appreciate and understand each other. In our freshman year, tragedy struck! A Well-loved member of our class, Mitchell Reali, suddenly passed away. Grief struck with such rapidity and such impact that it is still impossible to fully express our great loss. , Upon entering our sophomore year, and senior high school, we once again became acquainted with each other just a little better as days passed by. We became a part of all affairs, activities, and organizations, and realized what it meant to have something either become a success or failure. We were fortunate to meet only with success, and graciously accepted all its monetary value with open arms, as this was badly needed in our iunior year. To be a recipient of a class ring gives one an inward feeling that is un- surpassed. It makes you feel both proud and honored to be considered a part of our great school. Although we were in that stage called adolescence, we began to feel grown up. Our first prom, then the class play, were thrilling ex- periences. From the play auditions and rehearsals developed a cast worthy of praise, which gave a performance outstanding. It was surprising for the student body to learn that our treasury would permit a marvelous banquet at one of the finest country clubs. And we must admit, it was wonderful. Everything was carried out to perfection. But now, the awakening of the perfect dream of the past twelve years, has proved successful. Thanks to the sturdy, but gentle, hand of our teachers, we can be proud of the knowledge accumulated in the past, because now in our senior year, we know iust how precious that education is. May all future classes realize the importance of a good American education obtained here in a free American school. I RUBINSON TWP SCHODLS f , ' if , 1 X .

This dedication of our Robin is to permit you, the reader to know iust how we, the seniors keep Mitch in mind during our everyday activi- ties. His pleasant smile and friendly Hi were mannerisms that embeded themselves in the minds of all he passed daily. He was an active mem- ber of the band, in which he played alto saxophone. H Mitchell will always be remem- bered, by all who ever knew him, for his everlasting enthusiasm and spirit. His pleasing smile and ways will never be forgotten. This is a small token to let Mitch know that he is still considered a part of the class of '55.

History of Robinson Township School The title page of the '55 Robin illustrates for you the Robinson Township's High School of to- day. Within its walls one-hundred and eighty- one pupils are preparing themselves for the future. Just as everything else had its start, so did Robinson High. The following paragraphs pre- sent a brief history of our ever-growing school. In 1911, the first high school of Robinson Town- ship had its start. Classes took place at the old Hall school in Gayly. It now serves as a dwell- ing house and is occupied by John Rowe. Classes were held there for one year, and then moved to the frame grade school building in Moon Run. The two front rooms upstairs served as class- rooms. The first class graduated from this building. In the meantime, the original high school was built. The dedicatory exercises took place in the Robinson Township High School building on Monday, September 6, 1914. The school consisted of just four classrooms. The present home economics department was used as an auditorium and the music room was used as the gymnasium. In 1915, the first com- mencement exercises took place on Wednesday, May 26, at 8 p. m. The Union United Presby- terian Church in Gayly was the site of the cere- mony. Eleven seniors were presented with dip- lomas. Classes continued in the new building for ten years, when the increase in population ne- cessitated more room in'the high school. Rooms extending from the principal's office to the end of the building were added to provide for the need of more space. The Junior high and Grove- ton schools were being constructed during the same period. In December 17, 1948, Robinson celebrated the opening of their new homemaking depart- ments. One of the finest things that ever took place at Robinson, as many students put it, was the presentation of the modern cafeteria in 1951. The cafeteria is a section of the relatively new J. W. Burkett building. lt is a rare occasion now to see anyone carrying his own lunch to school. The previous paragraph brings us to the present state of the school. You have read how our school has progressed and grown through the years, and you may be sure that it will grow and progress. Someday Robinson Township will be classified as having one of the finer high schools of this area. 'A Q Y . ', ,I '- 1, X .., QT fx' .

As well as being super- vising principal and hav- ing many responsibilities, he is known to all of us as a true friend. He is a man who typifies the spirit of Robinson in all that he does. Never once failing in his duties, he has brought tribute to the school and honor upon himself. His friendliness, k i n d - ness, and sincerity toward both students and faculty alike will long be remem- bered by those who have had the good fortune to know him here at Robin- son. MR. RAYMOND I.. McCULlOUGH Young people should not wait too long before they have an aim in life. Every student should know where they want to go and what they want to do. Let us all hope that you have an aim in life and can attain this aim which you have set for yourself, MRS, GLORIA PAPST Secretary Hearty congratulations to the class of l955. My sincerest wishes for a successful, healthy and happy future, 8 MISS ROSEMARIE E, SCAVARIEL If I were to be asked what best spelled out success, I should answer unhesitatingly, Persistence Persistence is the adamant refusal to be defeated even in losing, the plodding along in the face of obstacles seemingly unsurmountable, the attack on prob- lems head on without evasion, and the courage to stand stead- fast in spite of setbacks and opposition. I wish for you just the right amount of persistence to help make vour lives ever whole- some and completely satisfying. MISS To the Seniors I wishes for many and LOIS CERCONE Secretary send my most sincere good many a year. 9 Principal We can be proud and happy to have this person- able young woman as our principal.

Senior Class History 194960 - SEVENTH GRADE Those Dear Hearts And Gentle People headed the hit par- ade as enthusiastic seventh graders scampered up to the iunior high building. We girls and boys, for the first time, enioyed gym and vocational training as part of our curriculum. The construction work began for a new elementary building, which was to be connected to the junior high, and a campaign, headed by our class, helped finance a new library. Our spon- sors for this year were Mrs. Morrow and Mr. Synowka. We ended our year with a class weiner roast. 1950-51 EIGHTH GRADE Dont Cry Joe was sung by our classmates as the new build mg was nearly ready for use It wasnt long before our new cafeteria opened and there was no more carrying of lunches Our sponsors that year were Mr Sass and Mr Chucchmi This year was sparked by a great basketball team which went to the semi finals In the WPIAL playoffs 195162 FRESHMAN YEAR Too Young seemed to fill our ears as the most popular song We felt more a part of high school life when we elected our two attendants Janice Kruger and Fred Riddle for the annual May Day celebration We were only freshmen but already we had three cheerleaders and five malorettes among us Our boys began participating In sports Our sponsors were Mr Petredls and Mr Synowka We began thinking about our careers and the courses we intended to take Our class treas ury also began to increase It was during our freshman year that we lost Mitchell Real: and our annual spring concert was dedicated to him 195263 SOPHOMORE YEAR Cry by Johnnie Ray and Trying by the Hllltoppers were smash hits as we ran anxiously to be a part of the senior high school Some of our girls had their homeroom in the home economics department and the high school really had to adapt itself to the idea of having such a large class up here Just about all our gurls louned the F H A and a number of our boys were already taking the agriculture course Our basket ball games proved quite exciting that year and we lost lust two games Our sponsors were Miss Malone Mr Scotts, and Mr Russo Janet Ries and Jack Newell were our choice of May Day attendants. Towards the end of this year, we began to follow a fad which had started, wearing collars turned up, wearing suede shoes, and speaking a language all of our own. 1953-54 - JUNIOR YEAR Gee, was the rage of Tin Pan Alley, as everybody came back looking real kool and dancing as crazy as this fad was. It reached its highest peak naw, and our boys began sporting their flashy clothes and pegged pants, and learning the latest kat steps. This was quite o busy year for us. Everyone in our class was thrilled to think that our individual pictures would appear in the yearbook Then towards the end of September our class rings came and how flashy they were' The biggest event of this year was our tumor senior banquet which was held at the Shannopln Country Club on a warm May evening The May Day was eliminated from the activity lust this year so the crowning was held at the ban quet with Grace Severns and Richard Vesta as our attendants Our play Mr Cook Takes Over came along and was o huge success 1954-55 SENIOR YEAR Seniors At Lastl Let Me Go lover a big hit overnight en tered into our senior year Good to be back and see Mr Russo and Mr Scott: our sponsors for the third consecutive year Out football season proved to be the best in a long time and Please My Nerves set the stage as our seniors put on their great class play Then came Christmas and the annual Christ mas party was a bang with Santa Claus and all One of our New Year s resolutions was the prom which was not far off and the reservations were now taken Ouchl Move over there isnt enough room for everyone to dancel Then meas urements for our caps and gowns What a time' On our knees for Lena and on our tip toes for Louie We were then in for a treat The junior senior banquet again only this year the luniors covered the expenses and a most glamorous time was had by all at the Gateway Plaza Wait a mlnutel Settle down seniors!

We wanted to choose a place familiar to everyone in the Class of '55, and we couldn't find a more ideal spot than the one and only Greater Pittsburgh Roller Ball Room. Our reservations have been in for several years, since people come from all over the country to visit this beautiful dreamer's paradise. I iust hope that all our alumni can manage to get here, even though some of them are quite busy. Since that 'I9th day of May back in 1955, our township has really developed: the population has increased by thousands. They now have a beautiful new school which occupies two acres. Oh! I must stop now as our guests are beginning to arrive. The door opens and here comes JANICE KRIGER, who now owns a series of drive-in theaters. Immediately behind her is BOB CLEMENTS, who is now a famous coffee roaster, following in his father's footsteps, I suppose. Next is FRED RIDDLE who is now a squadron leader, in our Air Force. Here come a few more cars, and I think I see NANCY CARLIN. Yes, and with her are EILEEN KUSHNER, JANET RIES, CAROL KELLEY, VICKY JURENA, and MARLENE GEIGER. These were the first lucky girls of our class to get married. By the expressions on their husbands' faces, I should say that they are very happily married. Who do we have here? Why it's DOLORES PHILLIPS, private secretary and part owner of the Phillips Construction Company. Following her we see JANET POLLIARD who is now a world famous model, she tells us that she has iust flown back from Paris, where she has been modeling all the latest fashions. Those with whom she came from the airport are GWEN GASPARE, MARILYN MILLER, and CAROLYN DEEMER, TWA hostesses. These fortunate girls have iust arrived from a recent flight. Robinson's great athletes owe all due respect to our next guest, Coach MELVIN SMITH. Continue your good work, coach. By the way he is under the supervision of high school principal, BILL NESBITT. Next we have two competitors in the baking field. BILL FALLETT, who now owns Aubrey's Bakery, here in Moon Run, and VINCE ANNESI, who is co- owner of Benvenuti's Bakery. Quite a few of our girls are very lucky to have their R. N. Certificate. And I am very proud to say all are practicing their profession. Here they come now, PAT LEITNER, VESTA JAMISON, LENA FORTI, BARBARA STORY, and ARLENE PUHL- MAN. ARLENE is now superintendent of nurses at Allegheny General Hospital, While we are waiting for the others to arrive, I will have JAMES MOORE, who is now our state senator, introduce our orchestra for this evening. He tells us that we have the GIL FINNELI. Orchestra, starring BILL MARTIN, world famous trum- peter. We don't have to worry about getting top entertain- ment, because we have some of the best in the business. For instance, we have the DAVE WINNING 8t REGE WELSH comedy team. who are in the process of becoming known world-wide for their crazy antics. Our platter flipper here is LARRY WILT. I suppose that is because he did such a marvelous iob at all the school dances. Did you know that LARRY now has an afternoon show on WILTY, Arkansas's fast growing TV sta- tion. LARRY says that one of his up and coming recordings is that of a duo EIe 8- Sal. They would be better known to all of us as ELEANOR WOLFE and SALLY POSCH. Next, we have RICHARD LEWIS, who now owns a little trucking company of his own, and likes it, Following him are AUDREY KACZMAREK, a beautician who has her own shop, and MIL DENNINGER, who is responsible for all the beautiful interior decorating done here this evening. Now, we have our men and women in the armed ser- vices. We find JOAN MADALINSKY, FAYE MAYS, and NANCY BURKE in the WAF, and CHARLES WILLIAMS is also fighting for Uncle Sam. Did you ever think that some of our FFA boys would really become farmers. Here comes EDDIE OWAD, who is now a big cattle rancher out West. Also from that vicinity we hear from JACK SMITH, big race horse owner. Next we have JIM MALARKY, typical business executive of the new large minute car wash, here in Gayly. He tells us that his private secretary, GRACE SEVERNS, his bookkeeper, JOAN HAUSER, and his stenographer JANICE WATTERS, will be here shortly. Oh! We're glad to see ROSEMARIE KUNKEL, who iust got back from competing in a world-wide typing contest. Congratulations from all former classmates to the grand prize winner. Other contestants who ranked high were: BARBARA BERTHOLD, MARIAN BASL, MARY ZIMMER, and MARY SHAR- KEY. Glad to see GEORGE BUTYA who supplied all the refresh- ments necessary tonight. George now owns Butya's Com- pany, and HENRY KNESS is his assistant. Do you remember the goal of ROSEMARIE MAYS, DOL- ORES REITER, and REGINA TRILLOW, to become secretaries? Well, it looks like they made it. ROSE and DOLORES are work- ing for U. S. Steel, and REGINA has iust announced her en- gagement to her boss, the president of the Heinz Company. Here are the members of the De-King Construction Com- pany, which was originated by JOHN DiSTEFANO and JOHN KING. The foreman in the company's lumber yard is RICHARD VESTA. And their chief carpenter is ELMER BLUMLING. RICHARD MADLER became well-known for designing mo- tors for the newest car on the road, the Cadaford. And the man who installs them best is none other than RAY GRUBER, mechanic. Do you remember the man who always had a keen ear for sound effects and noises? The one who makes and tests the Super-Sound Mufflers for these odd cars is none other than our own JOHN REDD. Well, folks, all former members of the Class of '55 are accounted for except one, and she'Il be here shortly. Every- one is settled and discussing old times. Here comes our guest of honor, Miss GENEVIEVE ARCH, who is running for, and determined to become, the first woman President of the United States fso far the votes are in her favori. Now we're going to see iust how everyone met their suc- cess in the last ten years, so you'Il excuse us won't you folks. Before the evening is over we're going to plan another re- union in the near future, with the hopes that we once again can discuss old memories with old friends.

Miss Lillian Pogachnick, director of our senior class play, had endless patience in molding those seniors who were in the play into the characters they were to portray on the stage. Miss Pogachnick, an established and capable conductor of our school plays, produced the sort of play that was desired. From the beginning of tryouts to the actual presentation of the play, Miss Pogachnick put forth her untiring efforts in order to make the production a success. The senior class would like to extend our heartfelt thanks for all she has done. Y. f9,'9. B. Clements, G, Gaspare, R, Kunkel, F. Riddle, M. Miller, B, Story, G. Arch, R. Welsh, P. Leitner, I..

Confusion reigns supreme when Thelma, an at- tractive girl of eighteen, is being teased by her younger brother, Ralph. Sister Gladys, four years her junior, is not yet interested in boys, and joins in chiding Thelma concerning her ver- bal combat with her date last night. Mr. Cook, a high school mathematics teacher, becomes en- raged when he discovers that Thelma had pur- chased a new dress for the dance she hadn't at- tended, because of the argument last evening. After discussions concerning the family's fi- nancial plight, Mr. Cook decided that he will manage the family budget. The family iust can't get used to the new ideas of saving. Donald Cook, a cousin of the family, persuades Mr. Cook to buy all sorts of articles at a fire-sale. lt happens that all of these items aren't labeled and iust add to the turmoil. The ensuing portion of the play turns into glorified bedlam. inadvertently, molasses is used to paint the kitchen and Mr. Cook's shirts are starched with plaster of Paris. Mrs. Cook receives a letter from an old friend, Mrs. Kelland, whom she hasn't seen in many years, informing her of her impending visit with her son. Mr. Cook then begins worry- ing about what type of meal to serve them, and is completely convinced by Miss McNabb, a dem- onstrator representing Airy-Fairy Aluminum Ware, that he should permit her to serve a com- plete dinner as a means of advertising her pro- duct. Mr. Cook believes this is iust the ticket to solve his dilemma. When Mrs. Kelland arrives, it so happens that her son isn't the handsome, strong, athletic type Thelma expected. He is very weak and eats nothing but vegetables. Ralph, being his impish self, steals his carrots, and Ned looks very embarrassed as he appears in his night shirt searching for them. At the end of the day, Mr. Cook surrenders the complete charge of the household to his wife, after some disheartening experiences. Namely, having the wind knocked from him by a billy goat that was bought to decrease the milk bill. The entire family is very happy to hear that their mother has full charge of the household once again. Our play was presented on the evening of March 26, 1954, in the high school auditorium. We, as juniors, wish to salute Mr. William L. Kearns, who so capably directed our play. We believe he did a most remarkable iob in his first experience as a play director.

Winning J Moore F Riddle On May 14, 1954, the Class of '55 held the traditional farewell banquet on behalf of the Seniors of '54 at the Shonnopin Country Club in Ben Avon Heights. The weather was ideal and the night was beautiful. The theme Stairway to the Stars was carried out in favors, napkins, and decorations. The menu consisted of fish or chicken, peas, snowflake potatoes, choice of beverages, and chocolate sundae for dessert. For the first time, the May King and Queen were crowned at this event. After dancing to the music of The Bill Lynch Orchestra, we broke up at 12:00 and then as- sembled at the Coraopolis Post of the Veterans of Foreign Wars for the all night party. The speakers were Miss Scavariel and Mr. Russo. Our own F. Riddle served as Master of Ceremonies. fi .

Although the formal was held at school, the crowd was one of the largest ever to attend a Robinson prom. At 8:30 the first of the sixty expected couples began to arrive. Upon arriving at school, the melodious strains ot Ted Boughton's Orchestra sounded pleasant and inviting. As you entered the beautifully decorated gym, you received the impression that you were at a huge outdoor garden party. incidentally, the theme, Garden of Friendship, was carried out to its fullest ex- tent in all of the decorations. The starry blue sky seemed to come down to meet the grey stone wall, which surrounded the very picturesque scene. A colorful array of flowers seemed to be growing everywhere, and they surrounded the little antiquated bridge, which proved to be the ideal baclcqround for all desired photos. After dancing all evening to a varied se- lection of music, the crowd began to leave, sorry that it was over so soon, but admitting that a better time couldn't have been had.

This lovely friendship we have formed Let's guard so tenderly, That it may thrive and grow so strong That friends we'll always be. The truly faithful, sturdy kind That can withstand the storms When tempest come to test our faith lt will come through un-harmed. If I should have to make a choice Be forced to take a stand And choose between my lovely friends And the gold of all the land, l'd take the stand with all my friends Tho good ones might be few, They're worth far more than all the gold That's how I feel 'bout you. This poem, written by Mrs. Jack Cook from GOLDEN GATE ANTHOLOGY was chosen because of its significant way of showing our feelings toward our friends, teachers, and school days.

Our sophomore year ran along smoothly with nothing to give us an inkling of the busy year to come. Early in October we ordered our class rings. Then we strove to make our two dances a success. Before we knew it, Christmas vacation was upon us, but it seemed we had just closed our books and it was time to open them again. We soon began rehearsing for our class play under the guidance of our sponsor, Mr. Kearns. In no time at all the play had come and gone and we were deep in the preparation for our junior-senior banquet. Now the year is almost gone and as we look back we realize it's been a very happy and successful one. Mr. Kearns and Mr. Lowery, our spon- sors for our sophomore year also, led us and prevented the state of chaos that might have been. Our class officers, under their suoervision and with the co-operation of their fellow students, headed the activities and made them all a great success. We thank Mr. Kearns and Mr. Lowery for being so patient and helpful. They have made the junior year a more enjoyable one for all.

Owad Crowning The May Day here at Robinson has been a tradition since the school was dedicated. This custom, up until two years ago, was the most beautiful and outstanding event of the year. On a warm evening in May the King and Queen, both seniors, reigned over the court, which included two attendants from each class in the high school. Leading the procession were little first graders acting as flower girls, and the evening was highlighted by a variety of dances performed by students from each grade. lt was, without a doubt, the most colorful event in the school's history. Due to the hard work, tireless planning, and lack of school time for practice, this event was selected to be the main attraction at the annual iunior-senior banquet. This included the crown- ing of the king and queen, who were followed by their court. The entertainment usually in- cludes two dances done by juniors and seniors. This year's banquet was held on May 6th at the Gateway Plaza, a most exclusive and well- chosen site for the 1955 crowning of the May Queen. May King And Queen And Court E, Kushner, B. Martin May King We have known Bill Martin for a long time, and we think that a better friend can't be found. His pleasing personality, friendly smile, and everything about him helps to cheer up everyone. His willingness to help others and the way he can fit into any situation has won him many friends both in school and on the out- side. He takes part in sports, he is in the band, and he is a member of school organizations. ln general, he is quite an all-round guy. ln our estimation, a better May King couldn't have been chosen. May Queen The T955 junior-senior banquet was highlighted by the crowning of our beautiful May Queen, Eileen Kushner. Eileen stands 5'5 tall, and has spark- ling green eyes with attractive short brown hair. Eileen, who was born in Moon Run in 1937, has been one of the most loyal members of our class since she started her school days at Robinson. Through- out those years she has proven herself qualified for this honor. Her wonderful personality, and friendly smile affects everyone she meets. As an active mem- ber of our class, she is seen at nearly all school activities. The senior class feels that no one else was more deserving of this honor than Eileen. We hope that the future queens will be as glorious and deserving as she, COURT E. Kushner Queen B. Martin King l.. Forti, E. Owad Senior Attendants B. Sedlock, J. Narad Junior Attendants -U ' , R.

The purposes of the club is to instill in each student a good spirit of sports- manship, to prepare new leaders for the new world outside school, to promote a cooperative relationship and to create strong character. The student council is the governing body at Robinson and the most im- portant of its functions is that of acting as a link between student and teacher and administration. One of the greatest honors bestowed on a student is being elected to repre- sent his class or club in the student council. The council is now in its fifth year at Robinson. Each year it has been a greater success and has made longer strides towards realization of its goals. This year the groups gave one of its three activities to the iunior class to help provide funds for their iunior-senior banquet. 72 Key Club , lst Row: W. Martin, W. Fallett, D. Winning, J.

It serves the school in the capacity of a good-will ambassador. The Key Club is the high school branch of the Kiwanis, and is an international organization. The club at Robinson. now in its third year, is sponsored by the Carnegie Kiwanis Club. Mr. Russo, the faculty advisor, has done an excel- lent iob in these three years, to make the Key Club, here at Robinson the working organiza- tion that it is today. A few of the many services the Key Club render are: the serving of free refreshments to both home and visiting athletic teams, the clean- ing up of school grounds and school properties, and the donatinq of necessities to the unfortun- ate in the community. These charitable gestures are some of the fine acts for which the Key Club is responsible. This club has become a genuine asset to Robinson Township High School, and will continue to be an asset as long as it retains the wholesome attitude of helpfulness that it now possesses. Our hats are off to Mr. Russo and his fine group. Yearbook Fred Riddle Mr. Joseph V. Scotti Carolyn Deemer Editor Yearbook Advisor Business Manager Honorary Editor-Mitchell Reali We, the yearbook staff, present to you, the student body, faculty, and administration, our 1955 Robin, with the hope that you, the reader, will derive as much pleasure and enjoyment from it as we did while compiling the book for you. Anyone who passed Room 5, during the eighth period each day, probably thought it nothing but a state of mass confusion. How- ever, we, the staff members, knew that we were really working hard to produce something that the seniors would be proud to say, lt's ours, and it's good. But to make it good, it took co-opera- tion, hard work, and determination. And it took more than patience on the part of Mr. Joseph Scotti, our advisor, who really kept the staff working and on their toes. Now we can be thankful that he did. Write-ups were constantly being written and re-written, typed and re-typed, and then sent to Mr. Kearns for the final check on gram- mar. They had to be re-typed and matched with the appropriate pictures, which had to be cut and proportioned. Then oft to the printer they went in order to meet our deadline. Thcit's the same pattern we followed from September to March. We hope it has proved worthwhile not only to the staff but to all the seniors, under- classmen, and faculty, without whom we could not have managed this laborious task.

They have various projects which they are required to undertake and successfully complete in order to obtain their diploma. These boys aim to utilize the advanced and scientific knowledge they have accumulated through the years here at Robinson when they graduate. Some of these Future Farmers of America members journeyed to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, this year in order to take part in the annual State Farm Show. These boys range from the ninth through the twelfth grades. Not only does the Future Farmers of America prepare the boys to become scientific farmers, but it also prepares them to become better citizens. Two noteworthy deeds performed by the members of this group are the constructing and setting up of class play scenery and the plant- ing of shrubbery about the school. The best way to describe the goal of the Future Farmers of America is to read their motto which is Learning to do, doing to learn, earning to live, living to serve. ist Row: Mr. McCullough, J.

These senior, jun- ior, and sophomore girls are doing outstanding work in adhering to the purpose of our F.H.A. which is: to build better and happier homes, constituting better living for America's future. The many activities throughout the year are not only held in the school and community, but throughout the county and state as well. This year many of the girls attended the Region B Convention at Mercersburg. Since there is such a great number of clubs represented, the school is honored to have some ofthe girls assume the ofifices at these meetings. With the co-operation of everyone, the annual bazaar proved to be a huqe success. We wish to express our appreciation to Miss Beatrice Malone for her expert guidance of the club. lst Row: L.

That is the purpose ot the Tri- Hi-Y, During the years, this club composed of girls from the senior, iunior, and sophomore classes, has carried out this purpose to the fullest extent. The girls are always ready to be of service to anyone who needs their aid in any way. Through- out the year, many activities are held entirely for the benefit of those people who are in need of a helping hand. One of these is the Orphans' Day. The girls select an orphans' home and have a party for these underprivileged children. This was started last year and it proved to be such a successful project that the girls have made it an annual aftair. During the Thanksgiving holiday the girls pack baskets of food for the worthy families to help make their holidays a little more pleasant. After belonging to this organization for three years, and contributing their services the senior girls receive beautiful red, white, and blue reversible jackets with the Tri-Hi-Y emblem. Congratulations to Miss Lillian Pogachnick the Tri-Hi-Y faculty advisor. Her ideas and enthusiasm have proven to be of inestimable value to the girls. Varsity- ln 1946, the Varsity-R was organized in recognition of those athletes who so deservingly won letters in their respective sports. By means of social activities held under their auspices they raised money to buy yellow sweaters and letters. As was done in the past years, the present Varsity-R Club members undertook the task of raising money to buy the senior athletes var- sity iackets as a remembrance of their athletic participation, and fellowship. This task was a ditticult one due to the fact that the number of senior athletes receiving jackets was greater than ever before. Refreshments were sold at the various athletic events. The Varsity-R also promoted a school dance as a means of increas- ing their coffers. Mr. Russo, Mr. Phillips, and Mr. Birko were the club's advisors. They encouraged the mem- bers through the year, offering their assistance when the boys needed it most. Sergeant of Arms Richard Madler President Fred Riddle Vice President John Marek 'lst Row: R.

President Marlene Geiger Vice President Marilyn Miller Historian Dolores Reiter The Robinson Township Commercial Service Club has proved to be a real boon to both the school and the community. Under the very active and vigorous sponsorship of Mr. Sidney Left, business education instructor, work by members ranged from organizing tabulated ma- terial and statistical data to the typing of themes, stenciling, and mimeographing of booklets, drills, etc. Services completed this year include work for school groups, such as clubs, teachers, individual students, PTA, and community organizations. Work will continue to be performed for both school and community, free of charge, says the advisor, as long as time can be found. lt is not always easy to complete a given project in the period of time requested, but the person or persons request- ing the service may rest assured that a sincere attempt will be made to do so. This assurance is echoed by each group and it has become a by-phrase. The Service Club is a member of Student Council, organizing itself under a Club constitution. This constitution was amended to include only as officers those students who are on the honor roll. As an added service, this year the Service Club will award a 55100 scholar- ship at the Honors Assembly to some deserving commercial student-this sum to go towards the tuition of a business school of the winner's choice. The money was raised from an activity sponsored by the Club-the first activity ever to be help by this group. lt is believed this award will become an annual contribu- tion--a service to some capable student who will carry the good name of Robin- son after graduation. 80 The editor handing out assignments.

The Robinson Township High School Band Our student body and all who are connected with Robinson can be proud of the fine marching band representing our school. ln T954-55 the band proudly exhibited their new uniforms at summer par- ades and football games. As usual the band was very successful, copping many first prizes. Directed by Mr. Joseph Picchi, the band has also won many prizes at the annual Allegheny County Fair. During the eighth period every day we can hear a real iam session in the band room. This year the project for the band is to buy new instruments. They have already bought 5 new trumpets, 3 alto clarinets, 'I base clarinet, and T baritone horn. We hope that we will get as much enjoyment in the future as we have had in the past from Robinson's pride and ioy-our band. SENIOR BAND MEMBERS Our senior band members can rightly be called the nucleus of the band. All the band officers this year have been seniors. They were: Gil Finnell, President, Jim Moore, Vice-President, John King, Treas- urer, Lena Forti, Secretary. ln recent years Robinson has been invited to send representa- tives to Tri-State District Band Fes- tival and the District orchestra. By now some of these musi- cians have become important as- sets to the band and will be sorely missed. We would like to thank Mr. Picchi for the encouragement and aid he has given us as musicians an':l also as students. lst Row: J, Polliard, G. Arch, L. Forti, B. Story, J. Watters, V. Jurena, V.

M aioreHes BARBARA STORY Every year an honor is bestowed on an outstand- ing senior maiorette. The honor is that of being elected head maiorette. The band made a wise choice this year in selecting Barbara Story to fill this position. Her duties have been drilling the other maiorettes, teaching routines, and assisting Mr. Picchi in his selec- tion of half-time shows for football games. LENA FORTI Seen marching at summer parades and football games right in front of the band is Lena Forti. She was chosen band maiorette by election. Lena has been a maiorette for 4'2 years. She is also secretary of the band and lxeeps a record of all prizes from parades. Barbara Story Lena Forti Kneeling: L. Forti, B. Story. Standing: B. Sutherland, J. Petanowick, C. Leia, G. Arch, V.

The average maiorette from Robinson is: 5' 4' 1 tall Weighs T23 pounds Has green eyes Light brown hair Lilses movies, ice cream, cake, and summer parades. The maiorette has two important duties each year. They are leading the band in parades and during the football sea- son, and baton vwirling at the spring concert. Again this year, the summer parades in which the band participated were a great success One reason for this suce cess was the faithfulness of the maiorettes. This year, for the first time, the girls wore their new uniforms and to complement their new outfits they purchased lighted batons There were seven senior maiorettes this year, the highest number in the school's history. ln the spring concert the majorettes performed to marches p'ayed by the band. As in the last two years, two of our girls participated in the annual High School Day at Pitt Stadium. Senior Chorus lst 2nd 3rd 4rh lst Row: Miss Eddy, L. Forti, A. Puhlman, V. Jamison, E.

During the past year the chorus has delighted the school with its many num- bers at the assemblies. ln the fall they sang numbers which added a patriotic air to the United Nations Assembly. For Christmas they ioined with the inter- mediate chorus in presenting an appropriate program. They sang carols and other seasonal songs while the elementary children presented a pantomime en- actment ofthe Nativity. In February four members of the senior high chorus were sent to the chorus festival at Moon Township High School. There they participated in the District Chorus along with other schools of the community. This past year they elected officers, formed o constitution, and were accepted into Student Council. Starting out as a Girls' Glee Club and a Boys' Glee Club, they united and formed the Senior High Chorus. Now, under the direction of Carolyn Eddy, they are doing splendid work. JR.

The band, directed by Mr. Picchi, gave a fine demon- stration of the work and practice of the preceding year. A few of the numbers presented were: Bach's Chorale and Fugue in G. Minor, Sunny- land Overture, The King and l, and Elsa's Pro- cession from Lohengrin by Wagner. The chorus also gave an excellent presenta- tion of the group of songs chosen by Miss Carolyn Eddy. In her first year at Robinson, Miss Eddy proved her ability and skill in making the choral concert a great success. This year, as in the years gone by, proved to be a very successful one for both our band and chorus. But iust as everything else is growing, so is our band and chorus. The Spring Concert now consists of senior high band, intermediate band, senior high chorus, intermediate chorus, and ele- mentary chorus. So, one concert does not allow enough time to do justice to both groups. The Band and Chorus I After the concert plans were made for the future. It was decided that there would be two concerts. The choral concert, consisting ofthe senior high and inter- mediate choruses under the direction of Miss Eddy and the band concert of senior high and intermediate band under direction of Mr. Joseph Picchi. This will provide more time for a greater number of songs and more enioy- ment by all who attended and performed in these. P. T. A. The Robinson Township Parent-Teacher As- sociation, now in its ninth year, has shown a marked advancement. lt has become an in- tegral part of our school system. Without the co-operation which has been given the school by the Parent-Teacher Association, it is doubt- ful if the school could have progressed as rapid- ly as it has. The Parent-Teacher Association has served to bring about a more informed populace, and has created a greater understanding between the parents and the teachers. lt has also alleviated some of the burdens which before had rested upon the shoulders of the school authorities. The Parent-Teacher Associa- tion has undertaken many tasks, and it is con- stantly assuming more responsibilities.

The spirit and determination of this year's squad, ex- celled that of any of Robinson's teams for a number of years.

Due to costly fumbles, the Ramblers trailed 6-0 at half- time. The Rivermen scored two touchdowns in the third period of play, before the Rambler offense began to click. Robin- son gained fifty-five yards on three plays to score their only tally of the game. An offside penalty against Neville put the ball on the one yard line and a quarter-back-sneak made good the extra point. The final score read: Neville-19 Robinson-7. ROBINSON vs. WEST ALLEGHENY Robinson played host to their neighboring rival, West Allegheny High for the third nocturnal contest of the year. The Ramblers scored the first six points of the game in the first quarter, but before the end of the first half, West Alle- gheny came through to tie up the contest at 6 to 6. Robinson gained on the opposition with six more points in the third stanza and seemed to have the game under control until the Indians opened with a passing attack that foiled Robinson's defense, to score with only minutes remaining. Riddle and Terabasso broke through the line to break up the attempt for the extra point, thus deadlocking the game at 12-12. ROBINSON vs. CECIL Robinson traveled to Canonsburg Stadium seeking to avenge their defeat at the hands of the Cecil Bulldogs last season. The Ramblers got off to their usual slow start, thus enabling Cecil to score easily by the end of the first quarter. Cecil threatened again in the second quarter, but the Rambler defense proved too potent for them and at half- time the opposing Cecil still led by a score of 6-0. In the third quarter the Ramblers began to move and Riddle quickly tallied to tie the score at 6-6. The Bulldogs scored again at the beginning of the fourth quarter, but from then on it was all Robinson. The Ramblers began a 60-yard march that was concluded by a pass from Kozak to Koller to tie the score once more. The attempt to make the extra point was missed and the final score read: Robinson-12 Cecil-12. ROBINSON vs. AVALON The Ramblers iourneyed to Avalon for the purpose of earning their first victory of the 1954 season. The game was scoreless until the beginning of the second quarter, when a drive, sparked by the hard running of Fred Riddle and a pass from Kozak to Koller gave the Ramblers their first touchdown. The attempt for the extra point was blocked. Probably the most exciting run of the evening began on the Avalon twenty-five yard line. Koller picked up a Panther fumble and raced seventy-five yards to paydirt. A three- yard buck by Riddle added six more points to the Ramblers' tally seconds before the quarter ended. In the early minutes of the third period, Riddle intercepted a Panther pass and streaked forty-five yards for another touchdown. Macek made the conversion. Soon after the Ramblers ended a fifty-yard drive, with Kozak going over from the two-yard line. Macek converted again and the score read 32-0. The scoring climax of the evening came with Kozak plung- ing over for the last tally from the six-yard line. When the final whistle sounded Robinson had blanked Avalon by a 38 point margin. ROBINSON vs. BELLEVUE The Black and Gold of Robinson handed Bellevue their fifth straight defeat of the season on the latters' gridiron. The first score of the game came with fullback Fred Riddle going over from the three-yard line. John Macek booted the extra point. In the second period the Ramblers staged a fifty-yard drive that was concluded by an off-tackle buck by Riddle. Macek again added the extra point, and at halftime Robinson was ahead by a score of 'I4-0. At the beginning of the third period our Ramblers fumbled deep in their own territory and Bellevue recovered to set-up their lone tally of the evening. Robinson bounded back as Riddle took the following kick- off and sprinted ninety-five yards to put the Ramblers ahead 20-6. Quarterback Gary Kozak added the finishing touches as he streaked fifteen yards for a touchdown in the fourth period. The conversion was good and Robinson won their second con- secutive game by a score of 27-6. ROBINSON vs. SEWICKLEY The Robinson Ramblers registered their third consecutive win against Sewickley High School. Robinson played host to their opponents from the valley. There were honors to be shared by every Rambler partici- pating in the victory, but top billing was held by fullback, Fred Riddle, who thrilled the crowd with his brilliant display of run- ning. The opening kickoff was taken by Robinson, and the Ram- blers occupied most of the offensive playing in the first quar- ter. They marched steadily up the field to paydirt. In the second quarter, the Indians, after carrying the kick- off to the 35 yard stripe, hammered their way through the Rambler line to tally their first 6 points. They made good the conversion to give them a 7-6 lead at half time. The Indians threatened to score following the kickoff, but a fumble picked up by Gruber on the Rambler 'I7 ended their chance for the time being. The subsequent play had Riddle scampering off tackle to wing his way 83 yards for a T. D. Two long pass plays gave Sewickley their final score of the evening. Riddle accounted for Robinson's final two touchdowns, a 90-yard kickoff return and a 50-yard off-tackle play. ROBINSON vs. MIDWAY Our boys played host to a powerful, once beaten Midway team in the last home game of the '54 season. The visitors took the opening kick-off and within five plays scored their first touchdown of the evening. The Ramblers came back in the second quarter with a series of plays that foiled the Midway defense. A thirty-yard aerial from Gary Kozak to end Gene Midili put the ball on the visitor's two-yard line and Fred Riddle plunged over for the tally. Even though the attempt for the extra point was blocked, the Black and Gold could not be stopped. Minutes later they recovered a Midway fumble and fought their way to the opponent's three-yard line where Kozak barged over for the score. A Kozak to Midili pass made good the extra point and at the end of the half Robinson was ahead by a score of 13-7. ln the second half fumbles proved costly for the Ramblers, as Midway quickly converted two of them into touchdowns. The visitors held our boys scoreless during the third and fourth periods of play: but when the final whistle sounded Robinson was in scoring position on the twenty-yard line. Thus the Ramblers lost their second game of the season by a score of 19-13. ROBINSON vs. SOUTH FAYETTE The Robinson Ramblers, coached for the first season by Robert Phillips, compiled a seasonal record of four wins, two losses and two ties by defeating South Fayette High. Robinson eluded South Fayette with all sorts of back- field deception to do their part as offensive men by scoring 26 points while the defense performed equally well by shut- ting out their opponents. The Ramblers progressed upfield to score following the opening kickoff, with Fred Riddle leading the running attack for Robinson. After frequent exchanges of the ball the Ramblers came up with another touchdown to their credit, Riddle carrying over once more. An aerial attack proved to be of no avail to South Fay- ette, for at half time Robinson still led 13-0. In the fourth stanza a drive climaxed by a quarter-back sneak gave Robinson the upper hand with o I9-0 lead. With time about half gone in the fourth quarter, Madler intercepted a pass setting up Robinson's final tally of the con- test. Riddle threw Kozak a screen pass, and with a host of Rambler blockers before him, Kozak scampered down to the one yard stripe. There he handed off to Riddle for the touch- down.

The boys were somewhat deiected for they had the potentialities and instruction to carry them to the top of their section but the breaks did not lean their way. The boys went through the first round of the section play hoping to break into a winning streak for they felt once they got started, the team could go all the way. The Ramblers' hopes were strengthened after posting wins over Avon- worth, Evans City, and South Fayette. But as luck would have it, Robinson concluded the sec- ond round with only one victory against six close- margined losses. Next year's campaign shows signs of being a fruitful one, for six lettermen will return to the hardwood. These six hoopsters, along with capable bench strength, should be the Section XXII powerhouse of l956, For they have been a playing combination since their iunior high school days. Kneeling: F.

They won half of their games, and fol- lowing the pattern of the Ramblers' varsity squad, lost many of the section tilts by tight scores. ' The B-squad, as always, proved invaluable from the standpoint of obtaining experience and poise which are necessary factors in a success- ful varsity club. From the junior varsity line-up were summoned a few players for varsity com- petition and for supplementing depth to the team. Through the interchange of players during the basketball games a great many boys saw action. Coach Anthony Russo had opportunity to visualize on what basis his future teams will be established. Boys from the freshman class through iunior class had splendid opportunity to manifest their potentialities. lst Row: Coach Robert Phillips, J. Barlow, G, Gordon, G. Rogers, E.

Macek, Girls' Basketball Girls' basketball began here at Robinson back in the 'l92O's. This was when we really produced championship teams that iust couldn't be beaten, and for years and years this was a tradition. The girls were devoutly interested in those days. Transportation was quite a problem, but our girls traveled in a milk truck back and forth to games. They sometimes walked. The girls, dressed in bloomers, were state champions for three consecutive years and were awarded many trophies. Some of their victims included a team from Slippery Rock State Teachers' College and tour- naments won in Youngstown, Ohio. The games were conducted in part boys' rules and part girls'. The gym was always filled to capacity. Girls' basketball was the real thing then and two of our girls played on a na- tional girls' team. They were coached by Mr. Gardener. Our team was followed regularly by Paul Kurtz, of the Pittsburgh Press, and several other newspaper writers. After these girls graduated from Robinson, they organized as a professional team and played college girls and attended tournaments in difierent cities. This great team is now a part of our faculty here at Robinson and the cup they received for their outstanding work is still on display in our high school ofiice. These last few years our girls have been trying to organize again. The team was quite active last year under the direction of Mrs. Fritts, they won several games. This year, it has been hard getting organ' ized, under the direction of Mrs. Morrow, they've had to start over again rather slowly. This year two teams were selected. A sen- ior team, and a junior team. The girls alter- nated throughout the season playing other girls' teams. Few victories were the result of no practice. The greatest difficulty for the girls' basketball team was the lack of time or place to practice. The gym is occupied each night by the boys who are practicing ancl our girls this year really didn't get a chance. Our girls and their instructor, Mrs. Morrow, who was new to us this year, deserve a reward for their outstanding performances and tiring efforts. We only hope that in the future girls' bas- ketball will live up to the fine spirit the girls have shown this year and bring top honors to Robinson once again, Loft to right: Mrs. Morrow, M.

The starting five was composed of three freshmen and two sev- enth graders. Mr. Birko was confronted with a group of tyros when the court campaign was inaugur- ated. As the season progressed, the rough edges were ironed out and they developed into a well rounded squad. Although their lack of height proved to be a disadvantage, it was com- pensated by their fine fighting spirit. Our hats are off to Mr. Birko for his patience and guidance for comprising one of the most successful of all junior high quintets. Baseball Hi Lifes ROBINSON vs. W. ALLEGHENY Robinson traveled to West Allegheny with hopes of winning their first league game. Ap- parently high spirits and a never-say-die attitude weren't a winning combination, for the Ramblers lost their opener by a score of 6-I. ROBINSON vs. AVELLA ln addition to playing host to the invading Avella nine, the Ramblers were aiming for their first victory of the '54 season. By brilliant all- around playing, they hustled the Avella team off the field and copped a 2-O victory. ROBINSON vs. BURGETTSTOWN Our Rambler nine played host to Burgetts- town and applied their winning magic to over- take them as the section leader by the score of 6-5. ROBINSON vs. W. ALLEGI-IENY The West Allegheny Indians invaded the highly confident and winning Ramblers' territory, only to be manhandled and set back 4-I by the section-seeking Ramblers. In defeating the ln- dians, the Ramblers chalked up their third straight victory. ROBINSON vs. AVELLA Our boys ventured to Avella with high hopes of attaining their fourth consecutive vic- tory, and also maintaining their position as the leading team in Section IV. Their dazzling play apparently bewildered the Avella team, for the Ramblers made good their ambition by a score of 7'I. ROBINSON vs. BURGETTSTOWN Burgettstown played host to Robinson for the last game of the scheduled season. The Ram- blers got oFf to a bad start and never achieved their regular form. Errors proved costly as the Ramblers lost their last game by a close margin of 4-3. ROBINSON vs. BURGETTSTOWN fplayoff gamel Due to Burgettstown's late season victories which served to tie our Ramblers' record of four wins and two losses, a playoff-game was sched- uled at Crafton Athletic Field. Robinson got of? to a good start in the first inning with two con- secutive hits to frustrate the Union boys. Behind beautiful pitching and potent hitting, the Ram- blers became Section IV Champions by a score of 5-O. ss' .71 - 1 ,.-1 ,QS 1. -' -.. , - '1.'-io'-12,5 -.1 'ff .? . 1 '-, 1 ' A , f ' '.' - , .1 . .v I -- '- J.
