OFFICERS President Mr. John Cribbs Vice-President Mr. Percy Nelmes Secretary Mrs. Mary G. Nesbitt Treasurer Mr. Alfred Heard It is with great pride that we salute the government of our school system. To each one, we show thanks for their time and effort. It is only through their constant school leadership that we have reached the place in life where we can take our place among them, and it is our greatest desire that they be justly rewarded through our success in years ahead. Thanks to this board, we face a challenging future with calmness and confidence that our school years have provided for us a noble start in life's long surge. Since our two new schools are in full operation, the school board has been concentrating their efforts on the erection of a high school cafeteria and new Industrial Arts and Home Economics rooms. Because of their constant concern for the betterment of our schools there have been numerous improvements made during the last year. For these comforts and pleasures, we offer them an enormous vote of thanks. 8 The 1957 Senior class of Saltsburg High School wishes to pay special tribute to Miss Betty Lou Powers. It is due to her kindness as a teacher and friend alike, that we strive to pay her our debt of gratitude. And for her great help, so generously shown to us throughout our school life, we dedicate, to her, the 1957 La Saltianna . The honor we give is of no comparison to that which we do humbly accept in the knowledge she has put before us, through her teaching and guidance. Although the time has come for us to leave her classroom, we will always take with us the memory of her graciousness and thoughtfulness. Congratulations, Miss Powers, and accept our best wishes for a happy future. OUR DESERVING TEACHER, AND CHERISHED FRIEND SUPERVISING PRINCIPAL Dear Seniors: In the past twelve years you've done a lot of things you shouldn't have done. You should have done a lot of things you didn't do. You did a lot of things you should have done. But whatever you did or didn't do, it's been done. May I pray that in all your doing or not doing that you have learned to know thyself and that to thine own self you will be true. Mr. Paul Runyan HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL The Class of '57 will always be remembered for being interested in the betterment of our school. The class actively participated in all affairs being sponsored by the school. You have set a high standard by which the future classes will have to work hard to equal. It is with regret that I watch you leave school, but I am confident you people will do your part in making your community a better place in which to live. John R. Coulson Yes, sir!

Receiving our Class rings, cherished momentos of high school days, and the Christmas Dance, were the big events of our Sophomore year. As Juniors we had the privilege of sponsoring the Prom.

Five factors helped make up this book: work, patience, co-operation, pleasure, and the capable guidance of Mrs. Anna Mae Chicka. Through the medium of many pictures and few words, we have attempted to relate this year to you in a pleasant and memorable way. Our wish is that you will cherish these memories and look back upon them during the years to come. As you browse through, or ponder over the pages of this book, a few of you will realize the extensive amount of work that went into the molding of it. Behind each picture and between every printed line there is an array of work and worry. Our staff is not seeking praise, but simply the satisfaction of seeing our efforts rewarded by your enjoyment of The 1957 La Saltianna.

STUDENT PATROL This year, under the guidance of Mr. Gould, the Student Patrol did a fine job in protecting the property and students of our school. Regardless of the weather, the patrol boys could be seen each school day at their respective corners, until the students had all crossed the streets safely. As a reward for their fine services, the members of the Student Patrol were permitted to enter athletic contests, movies, and other school activities free of charge. Although the boys received little recognition for their efforts, they were an asset and a necessity to the school and community, and they shall continue to play an important roll in years to come. STUDENT COUNCIL The student council was organized with Brenda Jordan, president; David Jones, vice-president; Helen Dosch, secretary-treasurer, and Mr. Noel as advisor. The activities for the first semester included work with the lunch rooms and a study of hall traffic which resulted in improved conditions. For the second semester, the Student Council was organized following the plans recommended by the National Organization. February 1, at a special assembly, Mr. Noel presented the members of the Student Council with pins. The pins bore the insignia of the National Student Council with which the Saltsburg chapter is affiliated. A movie on school life, Mike Makes His Mark , was very interesting. 51 TRI-HI-Y First Row: R. A. Smelik, E. Lasher, A. Auen, C. Jones, C. Emanuel, M. L. Gaulin, G. Emanuel, A. Hullenbaugh, G.

Its purpose is to create, maintain and extend, throughout the home, school and community, high standards of Christian character. Its slogan is clean thoughts, clean speech, and clean actions. At their meetings the girls in Tri-Hi-Y have discussions concerning personality traits, good behavior, bad habits, dating problems and many other subjects which interest the modern teenage girl. As a service club, the Tri-Hi-Y had several campaigns throughout the year. These service drives, like World Clothing Week and Bundle Week, give the girls experience in service for others. GIRL'S ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The G. A. A. was organized for the purpose of promoting interest among the girls in athletics, health and sportsmanship. This year's club was headed by Seniors: Jean Negley, president; Jean Heard, vice-president; Josephine Danilowicz, secretary; and Kathryn Grosklos, treasurer. One hundred twenty-four girls took advantage of the organization's noontime activity program and outside projects. Points were obtained by participation in the activities and awards were presented at the end of the year to those obtaining a specified number of points; 100 points— G. A. A. wings, 200 points—G. A. A. jacket, 300 points—G. A. A. pin and 400 points—G. A. A. trophy. 52 GIRL S ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION First Row: I. Frye, D. Bash, M. Sharp, E. Emanuel, M. Ball, C. Heifer, R. Reynolds, D. Steele, M.

THESPIANS SENIOR SCIENCE AND PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB The Senior Science and Photography Club has done much this year toward teaching the maintenance and use of photographic equipment. Linder the direction of their sponsor, Mr. Gould, the members have learned to operate the projector and have shown movies for various teachers. A highlight of this year's organization was the purchasing of a new modern developing outfit, which was located in the newly completed dark room. The club also has three cameras which were donated to the club by the Argus Camera Company. Many of the Yearbook snap-shots were taken with the club's cameras. SENIOR THESPIANS The Senior Thespians is a group interested in promoting dramatic activities in the high school. The club presented several plays this year in which the members displayed the ideas they learned in the club meetings. The members enjoyed the opportunity to act before a group. Twenty-one members of the club became members of the National Thespian Society, an honor for those earning the necessary number of points. The sponsor of the club this year was Miss Margaret Jackson. The officers were John Johnson, president; Mearl Naponic, vice-president; Judy Jordan, secretary; Mary Edgar, treasurer; and Nelson Tilden, news reporter. THESPIAN CLUB left to Right: F.

JUNIOR BAND The Junior Band practices on Monday and Wednesdays during the activity period, under the capable direction of Mr. Reese. The future band members are endeavoring to improve with practice, so that they may capably fill the ranks left vacant by graduating students, and keep one of the outstanding and most active organizations in the school. All of last year's Junior Band members were promoted to the Senior Band; thus we are in the process of rebuilding again. However, the Junior Band has made considerable progress this year and we hope that next year will be highly successful. MIXED CHORUS The Mixed Chorus of Saltsburg Joint High School, which is made up of tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grades, practiced diligently this past year under the direction of Miss Carson. Two of the members, Fred Barkley and Royal Palmer, were selected to attend District Chorus at Portage. Several others were chosen to go to County Chorus at Purchase Line. Fred Barkley was our representative to State Chorus, held at Washington, Pennsylvania. A Christmas program was held in a school assembly and several special selections were used to make the program both interesting and inspirational. In May the Mixed Chorus presented a concert which everyone enjoyed. JUNIOR BAND Sitting: D. Johnston, J. Stratton, T. McCoy, L. Prenni, R. Franklin, K. Lindenberg, S. Luciow. Standing: Mr. Reese.

The Saltsburg Joint High School Band, under the direction of Mr. Reese, played for half-time shows for seven of the regularly scheduled football encounters. The band also participated in the newly created Kiski Valley Charity Game. This music was played in cooperation with the Elders Ridge High School Band. The band sent ten numbers to represent our school at the County Festival held at Purchase Line Joint High on March 22. In addition to this normal activity, the band participated in the second annual tri-school concert representing Bell-Avon, Elders Ridge, and Saltsburg Joint High Schools on Wednesday, May 8. The band of 1956-57 realized an interesting, and musically productive year. The majorettes under the direction of Mr. Reese attended all the games with the band. The two new members for the year were Rose Marie Kin-nan and Linda Dee Hart. These seven girls made-up their own routines to be used in various formations. First Row: R. Kinnan, L. D. Hart, J.

FOR ADDED FUN AND FELLOWSHIP JUNIOR RED CROSS Our first activity of the year was sponsoring the Junior Red Cross enrollment campaign through which $78.33 was collected from the high school and grade schools and sent to Indiana. This money will be used for projects such as the buying of wheelchairs and the packing of kits containing various personal articles. These kits are distributed to residents of Indiana County who have lost their homes because of fire. Other activities consisted of planning a Hallowe'en party for the children of Willard Home, a well-attended, enjoyable school dance, and the collecting of contributions presented to the Overseas Chest Committee. Hl-Y The Hi-Y is primarily a Young Men's Christian Organization. Under the leadership and guidance of Mr. Roy Lytle, the club met every Tuesday for the purpose of studying ways and means by which the boys might become better citizens, now and in years to come. They discussed teen-age problems which they must face in every day life. Although some topics were quite contraversial and induced heated arguments, these discussions were valuable to all of them. This year's efficient officers were: President, Finley Graves; Vice- President, Floyd Leonard; Secretary, Harry Brown; Treasurer, Herman Flaminio; and Chaplain, Ronald Woodrow. 58 VARSITY CLU3 First Row: Mr. Flick, J.

VARSITY CLUB The Varsity Club consists of sports participants who have earned one or more varsity letters and cheerleaders with at least two years service, Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors are eligible for membership in the organization sponsored by Mr. Flick and Miss Turner. The Varsity Club is devoted to raising funds for purchasing sweaters, letters, and other such awards which go to the boy and girl athletes designated by the respective coaches. By awarding sweaters to Seniors who have earned two successive letters in any sport, the Varsity Club greatly encourages athletics in our school. LIBRARY CLUB The Library Club's main purpose was to take care of the library and repair all damaged books. All members helped keep the bulletin boards in the halls always looking bright and cheerful. Several members were appointed to care for the library while Miss Carson, the versatile sponsor, was teaching music classes. The student librarians did a splendid job in keeping the library an orderly and attractive room in which to study. This was achieved under Miss Carson's guidance and her never ending desire to help all students. LIBRARY CLUB First Row: (Around Table): M. Brosko, D. Kulka, K Chrisman, H. Dosch, L. Moran, J.

The advisor, Mr. Bechtel, helps the members design and undertake projects which include making wagons, trailers, and gun racks. This year the club, which met every Monday, elected the following officers for the 1956-1957 school year; President, Lawrence Bash; Vice-President, Barry Baker; Secretary, Frank Rehak; Treasurer, Ray Lytle; Reporter, Ernest Quick; and Sentinel, Wayne Beitel. Some fine accomplishments were made and special honors were received by William Lyons. He won several trophies and quite a few ribbons at the Indiana County Fair and at Harrisburg Farm Show. F. H. A. The F. H. A. members began their busy and exciting year with an initiation party and wemer roast at the home of president, Esther Kelly. The annual Sadie Hawkins Day Dance in October was a big success. The Christmas Party was held in the Home Economics Room. An F. H. A. pin was awarded each senior in good standing. In April the annual spaghetti dinner, in honor of the Seniors, was prepared by the members themselves. Mrs. Irwin directed the installing of new officers at a candlelight service, followed by a Mother's Day Tea. As Future Homemakers of America they shall continue to strive toward better homemaking. GEOGRAPHY CLUB The Geography Club was organized for the purpose of providing an educational activity for the eighth grade students. The club was divided into three groups which met once a week. Among their activities they included corresponding with pen pals from foreign countries. In April two members attended a conference in Indiana at which they accumulated ideas for making a better club. They enjoyed their field trip to Pittsburgh where they toured the Greater Pittsburgh Airport, Buhl Planetarium and many other places. Finally came what all the club members had been waiting for—a picnic which was held at the athletic field. JUNIOR SCIENCE AND PHOTOGRAPHY The purpose of the Junior Science and Photography Club was to create an interest in the fundamental principles of developing film and making pictures. The organization was composed of eighth graders and was divided into three sections. Each section elected its own officers and no dues were paid. With Mr. MacBlane as their capable and eager sponsor, the club carried on many lively and intriguing discussions during the club period. Upon the completion of the new dark room, the members actually experienced the act of developing their own pictures. They also possessed the facilities for enlarging any photographs.

After a few weeks of vigorous training, the first-string positions were filled and the boys eagerly awaited the opening game. It turned out to be a thrilling encounter, with Elders Ridge winning in the last few minutes 19-13. Then the Trojans nit high gear and rambled over Washington Twp. and highly favored Purchase Line. But, the injuries and the consequent lack of bench strength weakened the team, and the opposing elevens took advantage of the stricken Trojans, preventing them from tasting victory in the ensuing contests. The 1957 edition of the Red and White grid squad was distinguished for its fighting spirit in the face of a series of tough breaks and provided valuable experience for the stars of future seasons. As a result of the teamwork, fair play, and the unquenchable will to win shown by ihe Trojans throughtout the season, Saltsburg was privileged to have Indiana County's second highest scorer, speedy right halfback Floyd Leonard, within its ranks. Players ending their Trojan gridiron career include: guards, Ronald Wilson and John Johnson; tackles, Leonard Bundridge and Herman Flaminio; and full back, Marvin Holmes.

The starting five were Seniors Bob Whitesel and Bill Sorbin, and Juniors Ronald Woodrow, Floyd Leonard, and Dick Clawson. Rounding out the team were the able substitutes Herman Flaminio, Nelson Tilden, John Angelini, Bill Cantola, and Michael Brosko.

The Jay Vees were comprised mainly of Juniors and Sophomores, of whom the key performers were: Harry Fennell, Homer Fennell, Frank Shirley, Jim Fulton, Bill Can-tola, Ronald Brink, and Paul Corridoni. Throughout the season, the boys displayed fine teamwork and fighting spirit, showing promise of successful seasons ahead for Trojan cage teams. This year, Mr. Flick reorganized the Junior basketball team primarily to teach the fundamentals of the game to boys who have had little previous experience with the sport, and who are ineligible for Junior Varsity competition. They did very well in the recently organized Indiana County League, considering the tough competition of much larger schools. This vital part of the basketball system of our school, provides important experience for the varsity stars of the future. 68 MUST LEARN TO BEAT THE CLOCK RON WOODROW FLO LEONARD FIRST STRING VARSITY MR LYTLE BOB WHITESEL BILL SORBIN DICK CLAWSON 69 TROJANETTES DORA LYDIC, MISS TURNER, JOSIE DANILOWICZ, JEANIE HEARD, JEANIE NEGLEY, MARCIA SLOAN.

This was the introduction to every cheer that was led by our girls in red and white. They were always on hand to encourage and strengthen the good sportsmanship of our athletic teams. The squad, consisting of five Junior Varsity cheerleaders and four Varsity, served our school well by leading pep rallies and cheering for games. Besides their cheering duties, they sponsored after-game dances and sold Trojan emblems, which helped them to earn money for uniforms. Our school is proud to have had such a fine group of cooperative girls, whose services will long be remembered. VARSITY AND JUNIOR VARSITY CHEERLEADE First Row: C. Duke, C. Clawson A. Smelik.
