No sooner is a thing brought to sight than it is swept hy and another takes its place, and this, too, will he swept away. afzwout -Marcus Aurelius Four The purpose of the 1953 Edition of the Rostravette is to record the deeds of the boys and girls, who, for the past four years, embodied the spirit of Rostravcr High School. In the years to come this yearbook will keep alive the mem- ories gathered during their under- graduate days. The future years will bring new faces and changes to the school scene, but there shall be this record of the friends they knew, the things they did, and the memories that are still dear to them. ., HE, 0 . a ll -mi'- Q4 D . In a land where the skies are cloudless, Sweet music and bliss fill the air, Where everything's bright and beautiful, Now that you and Ronnie are there. A thought of sweet remembrance, Memories so fond and true, In the few short years of our friendship, Dear Janice, with Ronnie and you. We'll miss your smile each morning, Your kind words and caresses, too. We've tried to express our feelings, In this Yearbook for Ronnie and you. Our pals -though you have left us, For that everlasting peace, The friendship we have in our hearts For you will never cease.

Perhaps we can't write like Willy Shakespeare, and all We remem- ber from Latin is te amof' and though the school will little note nor long remember what we said or what we learned, it can never forget what we did here. And oh, brother!! What didn't we do? Say, do you remember, a long, long time ago, way back in '50, when we entered the hallowed halls of Rostraver as green little freshmen? We even tried to get to classes before the second bell rang! Elma Sandy, Jack Shearer, Hank Marciniak, and Bill Kline were our home-room presidents. With the help of Mrs. Jones, Mr. Porter, Mrs. Danti and Mrs. Weir, we really had a bang-up party. We thought we would never get through that year as the lowest form of human life-the freshman. Will you ever forget our sophomore year? We were a little wiser by that time. Remember the party? How hard we worked on that treasury! You must admit we did try a little. Mr. Brady and Mr. Naylor coached Jack Shearer, Bill Kline, Nancy Shearer, and Sara McAlpine to lead the fun for the biggest and best sophomore class yet. At last!! Upperclassmen!! Our officers, David Laird, Bill Kline, Nancy Shearer and Shirley Tylka had to work very hard to get more money for our treasury Cforever moneyj. With the help of Miss Luzanski and Mrs. Winnett we did. Our first activity was a skating party. With a cake walk and all the spills it was a big success. The first big thrill as Rostraver Juniors was when we received our class rings. They were real classy, and were we proud! We were all polishing our rings for the next three Weeks. What's the time? Half Past Teenf' of course. Will you ever forget Sam Bullitt and the yeah of Galsworthy in the junior class play? These future Hollywood players really brought the house down. The annual Junior-Senior Banquet was held at Lebanon school. We 'iritzy juniors even had dinner music by the Bafile Trio. The seniors even knew what they would be doing a few years from now via the senior class prophesy. In May we picked La Fleur D'Amour that the prom committee planted for us. The gym was done in roses, and Brad Hunt and his orchestra played flowery and mellow music, who could ask for anything more? Well, summer is over and it's back to the salt mines with Mrs. Winnett and Mr. Mattee as our sponsors. Sophisticated Seniors!! Pawdon us! We know all the tricks now for so we thinkj. No longer can upperclassmen sell us tickets for the elevator. Freshmen beware! Does everyone have an appointment to get his picture taken? Abbie will be here to take or- ders for your picturesf' These are famous words around picture time. David Laird, Jack Shearer, Marlene Bailey and Peggy Poole were our leaders for that one short year of fun. Then came the magazine sales. We went over the top of our quota, but with such super duper salesmen we couldn't miss. Did you notice how many of those big, handsome athletes were seniors? Remember how we cheered for those boys? They really tried their best to have a successful season. You could almost hear the heart beats of the John Barrymores and Helen Hayeses when they took their curtain calls at the senior class play, Beanes For Breakfastf' We will always remem- ber those many nights of practice and those hectic minutes before the big performance, but it was worth every minute of it. Remember how sharp the girls and boys looked the night of the Prom? QThis was one thing the seniors didn't have to pay for.j We were a little sad at the thought of this being our last Prom while attending Rostraver. A good time was had by all. P. S. Didn't the juniors do a good job on the gym? Signing yearbooks took up a lot of time in our senior year. We just had to get this person to write words of good luck in our book. We will always remember the fun we had taking pictures, writing copy, and selling the yearbooks. This was another of the biggest and best adventures of our senior class. Now as we Wait to take our seats at this, our last assembly, we think of Commencement Week with all its solemnities. The blending of the blue and white caps and gowns seems to make the audi- torium an altogether different place. Leaving the auditorium, we realize we may never see many of our school friends again. As We look at our red rose, the class flower, we will always remember Ros- traver: the teachers, the rooms, the activities, the sports, the classes, and last but not least, our friends.

M ary Sickles Treasurer ,,,..i.. ........ E laine Ahlborn aaiafw The Junior Class was organized rather early in the school term through the normal procedure of nomination and election of class officers. The class made several achievements largely through a wise and aggressive leadership and the coopera- tion of its individual members. The class play, You're Young Only Twice, was presented in December and was a great success, financially and otherwise. This year the class decided to adopt a standard class ring, The reasons for doing so were quite obvious: to offer to the students something that would forever be uniquely and genuinely RostraVer'sg to produce savings, financially Cper- haps not so much now as in the futurejg and to give to the class the honor of being remem- bered as a wise, forward looking, progressive body. As a climax to an active year the juniors enter- tained the seniors at a banquet held in their hon- or on May 6, at Rehoboth Church and on May 22 provided an evening of dancing pleasure to the music of Wally Gingers and his orchestra.

Seekers of wisdom, yes -but by their ambitious actions alone, give proof of their unfoolishness. The wisdom displayed in their selection of officers antecedes again the part of 21 fool. Two overjoyed sponsors, Mrs. Wood and Mr. Del Rosso were selected to advise and coach in a minor way, the teamwork that was beginning to develop. A successful Hallowe'en Party was held in which all those attending gave vent to their fool- ish nature and enjoyed a hilarious evening. Again, that vital spirit of adventure was dis- played, and before long plans had been laid for future parties and activities never before attempt- ed by a sophomore class. The highlight of the year for this group was the Operetta. Quite conclusively, the sopho- mores have shown that talent, ambition and forti- tude are expressive of a Q'W'ise Fool. Santa M.

The Rostraver High School Leopards opened and closed their 1952 season on a successful note. The Leps began with a moral victory over a much bigger and highly-tout- ed Monessen eleven. The scoring came in the first period when Ron Quinto blocked a punt which put the ball on the Monessen two. Chuck Quinn then passed to Clarence Lemon for the score. But after that the Greyhounds proved a little too much for the Leps and went on to win 14-6. Two weeks later found the Leopards traveling to Hurst, their first Class A opponent. The first half showed the score to be 7-7, but Hurst pulled away in the second half and went on to whip the Leps 27-7. A week later the Leps fought it out with a spirited Perryopolis eleven in a game which resulted in a 7-7 deadlock. All eyfs then turned to the breaking of the 20 game win streak of Jefferson. After nursing a 6-0 lead during the firs: ha1f, Rostraver seemed to fold and came our on the short end of a 10-6 score. Then came the big one. The game that the Leopards had pointed to for so long resulted in a disgraceful 25-7 loss to Bellmar. Rostraver, by this time, a little hungry for victory turned back a tough Sewiekley eleven 19-7. The Leopards then edged out South Huntingdon 7-6 and wound up their season with a 3-4-1 record. The 1952 edition of the Rostraver High School Leopards may not be able to be proud of their unimpressive and even disappointing record, but they can be proud of their fighting spirit, which after tragedies, injuries, and the like, neither they, nor Mr. Weir, refused to give up. 7 .

BAND OFFICERS No sooner had the first football made its first appearance spiraling through the air, than the band was out for its usual fall training, straightening lines and getting rid of all the mice that had nested in the horns over the summer vacation. Thus, the band ventured on its first task, entertaining at thc halves of the football games. Under the direction of Mr. Charles Del Rosso and Mr. john Pelar the band offered a va- riety of musical shows from jazz to classical music, even incor- porating ballet. The majorettes performed superbly and out- standingly in their ballet rendition of An American in Par- is. Weren't they stunning in their lovely costumes? Outstanding musical and marching recognition was earned at the Battle of Bands in Brownsville and at the various parade competitions entered. The marching band was led again this year by its capable head majorette, Kathleen Worrell. The unit was the largest ever, numbering SCVEHEY-IWO. Immediately after the football season, the band embarked on its torturous rehearsals for its two concert series of the year. The first concert was composed entirely of solo instru- mental compositions with the band accompaniment. The music selected for this concert and the following spring concert was a true test of the musicianship of the organization. Confi- dentially tho-: the band members practiced and really pro- duced two most worthy performances long to be remembered at Rostraver. Showing merit of true individual talent, members of the band were accepted in the County Band Festival, District Band Festival, and we even had Kerin Narbut to represent us in the All-State Band at Penn State College. Seated: Sara McAlpine, Treasurer, Gloria Dayner, Of course the time and effort spent in developing these Secretary, talents and programs is not wasted-the aim of the music de- Standing: John Pelar, Assistant Director, jack Shearer, partment is to develop individual personalities and integrate Vice President, David Laird, Presidentg Charles Del them into a single unit, thus preparing its students to live R0550, D11-egmr, more amiably and faithfully in their future undertakings. eadafz wma ,as KSA 1u-Q--.

These fellows really live up to their name. The shop is open to senior and junior boys who are interested in construction work. Now, of course, the green juniors have to be initiated by the seniors, and this night of initiation is never forgotten. After this ritual the juniors are of- ficially members of the Woodpeekers. Tradition stands high in the minds of these wood chippers. Each year since the organiza- tion has begun, the fellows have adopted a child from the Children's Home in Greensburg at Christmas. Last year they bought gifts for 3 fourteen year old boy and made him very happy. Each year the Woodpeckers hold a picnic at Monessen City Park. This comes near the end of the year and is enjoyed thoroughly by the boys and their sponsor. The Woodpeckers can always be found proud- ly wearing their Wootlpecker jackets. They are L1 happy-go-lucky group, enjoying many good times together.

During their training these lads spend about fifty percent of their time in actual shopwork, the 1'e- maining time in related subjects, English, and social studies. Not all the work done by the boys is practice. Repairing equipment from local mines, rewind- ing motors, doing lathe work, working around the school, and operating milling machines keep the Vocational Mining boys very busy. Among the many educational trips, the one most outstanding was the Coal Miners' Conven- tion held in Cleveland, Qhio. ln order to finance such a trip the boys have sponsored several skat- ing parties and dances, VOCATIONAI.

One of Rostraver's most popular clubs is the Rem- brandt Club. Under the leadership of Mrs. Wood, the club offers further training beyond the regular class period in the field of art. Any student desiring to enter the club must prepare one free hand drawing and one of copied work drawn in the presence of a club member, It is not necessary to name the activi- ties of the club, the name is significant. The Rembrandt's were responsible for the stage dec- orations during the Chorus Concert at Christmas and is ready to help at any time when the services of its members are needed. Meetings are held every Thursday evening in the art room of the high school. At the end of the school term each member is required to submit a project from which their talent and progress is judged. Recently, honor was brought to the school and club when Nancy Radich, 11 talented artist, was awarded first prize by the Monessen Chamber of Commerce in the Fashion Design Contest. As a group, the club visits annually the exhibit of French Paintings, the Scholastic Art Exhibit, and the Associated Artists' Annual Exhibition at Carnegie Museum.

The Future Farmers of America is a national organiza- tion of students who study agriculture in junior and senior high school. The Rostraver Chapter of the F.F.A. under the lead- ership of Mr. Cocain and its capable staff of officers has brought to a close a very active year. During the past school term the organization has held several skating parties to help finance trips to other schools, farms, and livestock sales. Honor was brought to the local chapter on November 17, when Edward Rinkhoff was elected Secretary of the Westmoreland County Chapter of the F.F.A. Although the club devotes most of its time to the study and practice of agriculture, the members play a a limited schedule of basketball games with other West- moreland County F.F.A. teams. All regular meetings are held bi-monthly to plan, or- ganize, and transact business. I-.I-.A. .....,.......,............,..............., ........,..,............,,.,..

Its main purpose is to prepare students for a business Career. Miss Luzanski and Mrs. Vizza, the sponsors of the group, direct the activities and train the members. Under the guidance of their able sponsors the group made a trip to Greensburg where they visited the court- house, county jail, Greensburg Business School, and the Greensburg School for the Blind. In carrying out the purpose of the club, the members learn how to make artistic designs on the typewriter, how to apply for a job, and how to become acquainted with the various machines that would be found in any office. The Business Club was organized two years ago, and will probably continue its fine work for many years to come. BUSINESS CLUB ........................................................

This group belongs in the service club category. lts main purpose is to help maintain a creditable school li- brary. Some of the duties of the members are: stamping book cards and date-due slips, returning books to shelves, help- ing keep books in order on the shelves, making minor book repairs, helping take inventory, helping prepare new books for the shelves. All of these may seem like menial tasks, but they are very necessary if your library is to be main- tained properly and be a source of information for all students. Qualifications which are assets for student librarians are: passing grades in all subjects: trustworthiness, depend- ability, and school citizenshipg a respect for books, an interest in library work. Membership is open to grades seven, eight, nine and ten. All of the present senior mem- bers have been with the club sinee it Was first organized. liven though the Library Assistant's are more or less in a trial period, we believe they will become a permanent elub in the school. They have proved their worth by the dependable way in which they have performed their duties. , LIBRARY ASSISTANT S .....,.,.,.,..........,..,..,.....,...
