Out 1954 to 1958 Ibiaty This is our school diary for not only our last four school years in the Township, but for the last four years of our dear Sandy High’s existence. It was with a great deal of sorrow that we wrote this foreword which isn’t a foreword at all but rather a finale, because after this there will be no more paths to climb, no more skys to scan, no more ladders of success in the name of Sandy High. All we can think to say is Farewell, oh, farewell to thee dear old Sandy High.” CONTENTS Dedication page 2-3 Fore ward page 4 Flambeau Staff page 5 Administration page 6 - 7 To Thee Sandy High page 8 Our Senior Class page 9-20 The Underclassmen page 21 - 30 School Scenes page 31 - 32 Clubs page 33-40 The Alma Mater page 41 Music page 42 - 47 1958 Queen and Her Court page 48 - 49 1957 Queen and Her Court page 50 Prom page 51 - S3 Teachers page 54 History of High School Days page 55 School Scenes page 56 School Highlights page 57 Prophecy page 58 Foliage Queen page 59 Magazine Campaign Winners page 60 Office Secretaries and Fire Marshall page 61 Senior Class Play page 62 - 63 Junior Class Play page 64 Athletics and Cheerleaders page 65 - 71 Coaches and Managers page 72 Varsity Write-ups page 73 Junior Varsity page 74 |unior Varsity Cheerleaders page 75 Athletic Council page 76 Class poems page 77 Pictures page 78 Last Will and Testament page 79 Calendar page 80-81 Patrons page 82 Advertising page 8.3-119 Autographs page 120 The Flambeau was born in 1920, when Sarah C. Johnson and Chester Dodd, seniors, were named editors. They chose the name Flambeau, because the French Flaml eaus were torches used to light parties traveling through France and also used in battle in the 17th and 18th centuries. We hope that this, the last Flambeau will light your way through a life of happiness and success. 4 THE STAFF

MR. KARL MARSH BREWER We welcome Mr. Karl Marsh Brewer as our new superintendent and wish him much fame and fortune in his position as superintendent of the new DuBois Area Schools. Mr. Brewer is of local talent having graduated from Rcynoldsville H. S. originally, but furthered his education at Clarion State Teachers College, Duke University and Penn State University where he obtained his teachers degree, A. B. degree and Masters Degree. Mr. Brewer's teaching experience has been varied, having taught in Winslow Township, Rcynoldsville, Sykesville, Corsica, and Sandy, the latter becoming the background for his first administrative experience. He served here first as principal later becoming superintendent before entering the DuBois system. All in all, Mr. Brewer has had not only a wide educational background for his present position, but a practical one also. So again we wish you success, Mr Brew'er. MR. W. D. WEAVER Mr. Weaver, like Mr. Brewer, is very well known in the educational circles of the county, and again has a varied background of experience. The two have worked together for quite a number of years so that we are certain that now they will work together to govern the DuBois Area Schools with nothing but the best results. Mr. Weaver after graduating from Mahaffey H. S. attended Grove City College, obtaining his A. B. degree, later receiving his Masters Degree from Pennsylvania State University. His steps in the ladder of success began when he taught high school for a short time in Summerville before accepting his first administrative position in Burnside, then Mahaffey as Assistant Principal. After serving as Assistant he became Supervising Principal until 1942 when he became Superintendent of Sandy Township School District. We all wish Mr. Weaver years of success and good luck in the ensuing years as Assistant Superintendent of the DuBois Area Schools. MR. J. T. HARRIGER Mr. Harriger has been our High School Principal since we entered high school and we are happy to have had his helping hand in preparing us for our future careers. A graduate of Falls Creek School and St. Bonaventure College, Mr. Harriger taught in the Falls Creek School system before earning his Masters Degree at Pennsylvania State University. It was after he won this degree that he became S. H S. principal. Since then his wise counseling and sincere interest in the school, the student body and its activities has made him very popular not only with the teachers but also with the students of all classes, Thank you, Mr. Harriger, for your sincere interest in us and your mighty fine advice to us. Good luck, and happy days! MRS. MILDRED HAFNER A true and interested friend! Mrs. Hafner, who has served Mr. Weaver as his secretary' for fourteen years, is just exactly that. Mrs. Hafner came here from New York where she had been working for the J. G. White Engineering Corporation. Mildred has helped us all in one way or another. Upon entering in the morning we are almost certain to see Mrs Hafner in the hall, and to be sure of a very pleasant smile and a cheery “Good morning.” She was graduated from Windber High School before attending the Lebanon Business College. She went directly from college to New York before embarking on a career in Sandy Township We are glad and proud to say that she has been in the school system as long as she has. We will certainly miss our “Mildred,” and envy those to follow who will cross her path. 6
