Text from Pages 1 - 78 of the 1952 volume:

P I E fx I cqfma afsz Wliere Monessen Highway wanders True to nature's call, There in stately grace and beauty Stands Rostraver's halls. All thy halls the day in dying Crowns with golden light, And the morn with waking splendor Greets thee in thy might. Long may you, our Alma Mater, Shed your light abroad, As your many sons and daughters' Live for you and God. Chorus Sing her praises, loud resounding, Speed them on their wayg We'll be true to thee, Rostraver, True for aye and aye.

Bacfiaafion To the picturesque little village Rostrevor in the heart of the Emerald Isle, we dedicate the 1952 Rostrav- Cite. Its Wooded beauty, clear mountain streams, and impressive mountains give the enchanting spot the best of natureis backgrounds. Here our own Rostraver originated. Here also lives a lively little band of Leprechauns who govern the people's daily work. To all this from the magic of Fairy Glen down to the last green shamrock, We Wish to offer this humble dedication in thanks for our Rostraver. 5512601 gfam cgifzonio 'za MRS. DANTI MR.

They have made possible many of the facilities and privileges that We have at Rostraver. We are grateful to these men whose vision, kindness, and Consideration have never failed us. Eight THE SUPERINTENDENT E. F. CARTER Here is the man who carries the load of responsibility for Rostraver. He is to be re- membered as an admirable and friendly per- son Who was always willing to help anyone who needed it. Mr. Carter is an inspiration to all students by his conscientious hard work in their behalf. THE PRINCIPAL' FRED F. HERMAN We think that three Words are sufficient to describe Mr. Herman. These Words are: good, both as an administrator and as a personality, intelligent, and kindly, which are best proven by the admiration the students have for him. W .4 'Q .J THE ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL HARRY R. FLEMING Here is a capable leader, a true friend of the Class of 1952 and of every class that has been at Ros- traver. We shall long remember him and cherish his friendship. DE: N me aauffy VIRGINIA C. WOOD Physical Educaiion JOHN R. WOLFE History, Malbemulics SABATINA D.

Grove, Mr. Jesse J. Ritenour, Mr. Samuel Cirota The,evaluating committee of the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools completed their work at Rostraver on Friday, November 16. The primary purpose of the evaluation was the improvement of Rostraver High School in the service it is rendering to the youths of the township. Miss Emma E. Christian, chairman of the committee, in her oral report to the faculty, compli- mented the school for initiating various programs of study, the preparation and ability of the pro- fessional staff, the teacher-pupil relationship, the student body on its enthusiasm and sincere loyalty, the well conducted drill and assembly program, the Board of Education for the evidences of their public spirited interest in the improvement of the school, and the superintendent on his broad grasp of mod- ern educational principles. The high school faculty had been preparing for the evaluation for the past twelve months. Their time was used in checking and rechecking two thousand items that appear in the evaluative cri- teria, which is divided into thirteen areas. The work was done to benefit the present and future students of Rostraver. If Rostraver passes the evaluation, it will be an accredited school. If not, we will know what improvements are necessary to come up to standard. In the final report both commendations and recommendations appear to fall into three classifi- cations. 1. Things which can be done immediately to make an improvement. 2. Some that require a longer period of time and finances to accomplish. 3. Others not adaptable to local conditions at the present time.

The big event was the annual spring band concert held on April 25. The concert was a big success and was thoroughly enjoyed by all those who attended. Some of the activities sponsored by the band were: a spaghetti supper, a dance, and a skating party. The annual banquet honoring the graduating members closed the band's successful year.

This is the sixth year that the club has been organized. The club is open to any 10th, 11th, or 12th grade girl who has completed one semester of home economics. Honors Were brought to the or- ganization when Thelma Naylor rated first in the County Apple Pan Dow- die Contest. The outstanding project of the club this year was the Christmas party entertaining twelve needy youngsters from one of our grade schools. Santa Claus CMr. Weirj presented each youngster with several needed and useful presents. Forty-six This year the F. F. A. has made many improvements in the agriculture shop. Under the supervision of Mr. Cocain and Sweet Eloisev fthe Stickj the thirty-two members have managed to renovate and enlarge their Work space. The group has bi-monthly meetings and attends such activities as field trips to farms and livestock sales. Skating parties and the sale of Leopard stickers help finance the club. Q. 9.

Its purpose is to give the students a broader understanding of Ro- man civilization and culture and to show its influences on modern civilization. Meetings are held once each month during which a program is presented. On Thursday, February 21, the club attend- ed the Latin Festival at the Buhl Planetarium in Pittsburgh. There were 68 who attended, and the trip was made by chartered bus. To make this trip possible the members sold Christmas candy. In March the club had a banquet at John- son,s in Monessen. A most interesting pro- gram was presented and a special tribute was given to our seniors who have been members of the Latin Club for three years. .fafin FIRST ROW: Lorraine Valencia.

A fi ljex 0 3 'VK xx Lf,-:iff T ,,.-Q-Q1--1 .11- 42 ss! f ' -ez, cqcfivifiai Qoofgaff The 1951 football season here at Rostraver did not feature a spectacular team as a whole, but under the able coaching of Mr. Weir and Mr. Naylor our boys played their hearts out in every game. The highlight of the season was the South Huntingdon game, which we won 7-6. The temperature was low but spirits were high as Keller gathered a pass from Quinn for the winning point. In spite of the fact that the Green and White eleven did not carry off any champion- ship honors in the 1951 season, Rostraver's fans still have cause to be proud, because their team is known for its grand sportsmanship and fair play. The boys-win, lose, or draw- ' were first, last, and always sportsmen. COACHES Coach .............,...... ,. .....,..i.,,,. james Weir Assistant Coach .,,., ...,..

Quinto. Around him and with the aid of several reserves from last season, he succeeded in rebuilding a quintet which made a creditable show- ing. Although the boys lacked some of the quali- ties necessary for a championship team, they made up for this in spirit and the will-to-win. Playing their final game for the Green and White were, R. Nedrow, W. Sickles, C. Glass, and R. Keller. COACH ..,,.............................,...........,..,.................

Pamela's ex-suitor, Brian Barclay fjohn Paul Symonsj, and her mother Abby's QGoldie Harrisj beau Clint Purdy QKent Daileyj decide to disguise themselves as a cook and butler to scare off the city slickers Dilworth and Winston Pickrell.
