We, the seniors of the class of 1955 present The Diamond Jubilee. Beautiful, sparkling gems of many kinds. The polished gems, our seniors, ready to face a world so different from what they have known. Before these gems were polished and set. they had to he cut and given special care. So it is with the seniors, who have been guided and cared for by the faculty and administration of our school. We hope that the uncut diamonds, which are our sophomores and juniors, will be as fortunate as we in having such attention and care, and will emerge as beautiful polished gems. And so, after being set, the gems are sold and go to all parts of the world. The seniors shall have the same opportunity to give their services and help in everyway they can and to give their time and effort to help make the world a better place in which to live.

Diamonds as they come from the earth look, at best, like pretty pebbles Some are in odd shapes. Some resemble pieces of broken glass. Some have a dull coating on the outside. To be beautiful, they must be properly cut and this cutting requires great skill. From this mine comes our gems. 4 (DodiaxtiovL “Only my best is good enough,” has long been the motto of both the students and faculty of our high school. The latter may also be applied to the efforts put forth by the faculty of Scott High School in helping to mold the students into respected and useful citizens of this community. It is only with supreme patience and understanding that this task may be successfully accomplished. That is why, we, the graduating class of 1955 dedicate this Highlander to our entire faculty in appreciation of a job “well done.” Qua, Hoohd oft. T Ilvul (DjlmcJLdaa, MR.

DIAMONDS HAVE NUMBER ONE PRIORITY AT ALL BUSINESS SESSIONS. DIAMOND DISPLAY ROOM OkJl WJnSL DH. F. DeWITT ZUERNER Our Superintendent NOTHING IS SO DIFFICULT BUT THAT IT MAY BE FOUND OUT BY SEEKING - IBID 8 FELLOW STUDENTS: The theme of your Year Book for 1955 is “DIAMONDS.” I am reminded of the lecture given by Russell H. Conwell, the founder of Temple University, on “Acres of Diamonds.” In ancient Persia lived a man called Ali Ha-fed. He had vast orchards and gardens, and he loaned much money at interest. He was wealthy and contented. Then one day a Buddhist priest visited him. and he told Ali Hafed how the earth was created, and how silver, gold and diamonds were made. Said the old priest, “A diamond is a congealed drop of sunlight.” And that is true, for a diamond is an actual deposit of carbon from the sun. Then the priest said whoever has a mine of diamonds can put his children on thrones. THAT NIGHT ALI HAFED WENT TO BED A POOR MAN. WHY HAD SUCH A RICH MAN SUDDENLY BECOME POOR? HE WAS POOR BECAUSE HE WAS NO LONGER CONTENTED. Rising early the next morning, he sold all his lands to his neighbor and set out to find a mine of diamonds. First, he went to the mountains of the moon in Africa; from there he travelled throughout Asia and Europe. Finally, all his money gone, the wretched man. while standing on the shore at Barcelona, Spain, threw himself into the sea and sank beneath the waves. Meanwhile, the neighbor, who had bought Ali Hafed’s orchards, had noticed a curious flash of rainbow hues emanating from black rocks lying on the white sands of the stream flowing through the orchards. Upon examination the black rocks contained diamonds. And lo! here was the diamond mine of Golconda, the most magnificent mine in all the history of mankind, excelling the Kimberley itself. The Kohinoor and the Orloff, crown jewels of England and Russia, the largest on earth, came from that mine. Here were “acres of diamonds.” Then, more recently in Sacramento, California, in 1847 a man sold his ranch to Colonel Sutter, and then the man went away to another state to search for gold. The man wanted gold, and he could have secured it for the mere taking. Indeed, thirty-eight millions of dollars in gold had been taken from that ranch in the matter of days. Just as it was in Golconda and in Sacramento, so today in our own community — North Brad-dock — or anywhere else, we find opportunities worth “acres of diamonds,” and they are ours if we strive to attain them. If we are good citizens who will build a better community, whether we work in a factory, a mill, or behind a counter or desk, our opportunity for service is found right here at home — acres of diamonds in our own back yard.

KIRSCHNER Principal Owl UJdjxL Members of the class of 1955, as you leave the portals of your Alma Mater for the last time and take your place in the adult world, there is an important obligation you must recognize — the necessity of work. Your attitude toward your job will make your life pleasant or unpleasant. Work should be considered as a welcome chore, not as so much detestable drudgery. It is a divine provision for developing in us self-reliance, initiative, diligence, and inspiration. In every activity we should do our best, and let the world make its own appraisement. We should have the will to work to achieve our latent potentiality. We should never be satisfied with less than our best. However well we have hitherto done, we can still do better. Unlimited possibilities are before us, and the field of opportunities constantly widens as we persevere in honest purpose. The person who wins the race is he who has the will power to work a little longer and a little harder than his competitor. We are in the race whether we will to be or not, so it behooves each and everyone to try to be a winner. 11 12 (DmnwnjcL QidisAA aruL floLudwiA ELLA MAE RIXARI) Slippery Rock State Teachers College - B.S.

That is what we, the Junior Class, have had since the day we entered the portals of Scott High School. Although we entered in a somewhat bewildered state, we have gained knowledge, participation in sports, and tried to cooperate in all school activities. We greatly appreciate the help we have received from our teachers and classmates. They have given us the inner confidence that we needed to conceive the knowledge of such things. We have been proud of our title of Juniors, we have put our best efforts forth to do our best, and we anxiously await the time when we, too, shall become the Seniors and have our chance to go out into the world to gain more knowledge and become the leading citizens of our community. When our time comes, it will be difficult to leave the cherished halls of Scott High. It will be quite a long time before we will forget our teachers, their kindness, their best time put forth to help us, their humor which made everything so interesting, and their favorite expressions and habits, bast but not least, we want to wish the class of 1955 the best of luck in coping with their new-found responsibilities. They too, like everything else will hold a favored spot in our memories. UNCUT STONES Room 6 — Miss Balogh Row 1: L. Michalak. C. Montalhano, J. Morris, L. Kuzmic. Row 2: E. Masters, G. Milko, M.

We were entering the halls of Scott High as sophomores. That first day the class rooms were filled with excited chattering as we were greeted by new teachers and a new routine. We rushed from class to class meeting each teacher with great expectation and before we knew it the day was over. That first day now seems so remote. The sophomores now attend our classes with more dignity and confidence. Many of us have set goals for ourselves, hoping that by the time we are seniors we will have reached them. Our contribution to the various school activities was small in the beginning, but now we have begun to participate in them fully. When graduation is over we know the seniors will face the world with bright hope and we trust they will all fulfill their highest ambitions. 43 ctitfjL la cl qjxsicd, buuiclliL liiiisL thinqA..

Scott High School’s governing body, the Student Council, has been in existence since 1937, almost two decades ago when some of today’s members were just born. The Community President of that historic ’37 group was Senior William Durant. Although Scott had a Community President as far back as 1931, when Olive Phillips, a fair and popular prexy, held sway as a student representative in all school functions, it was not until 1937 that a more democratic administration was instituted from among the student ranks. The Scott Student Council has changed very little in the seventeen years of its existence. For the most part, its members were chosen from home rooms as they are today, with the Senior President holding down the chief executive’s position. In function. Student Council has various duties and responsibilities. As a group it sits in discussion with the school principal and at times with tin- Superintendent of Schools. School dances anti parties, home room activities, stage presentations are just some of the functions under the jurisdiction of Student Council. In accordance with our national philosophy of democratic governmental affairs, the high schools of our great land likewise take part in their own government, thus grooming students for the responsibilities which face them. So it is at Scott with its Student Council. UNION STEWARDS First Row: R. Meklas, J. Kotvas, L. Cerrone, E. McMullen, A. Duch, T. Wolfe, J. Mehalko. Second Row: G. Grcock. B. Calabria, R. Cortese. R.

Kliskey. The purpose of this organization is to gain more knowledge about the importance of our country and to learn more about its growth and history. Meetings are held on the third Thursday of every month at 7:30 p. m. The dues required from each member is 10 cents per month. The main object of the club this year is to make plans to place a plaque in front of the school commemorating the historic battle of Braddock’s Field. The “Historians” feel that they should erect this plaque as nothing eventful has been done in the past in regard to it. A bake sale was held in January to raise funds for the purpose. Membership is open to any Junior student interested in American History.

In the twenty years that followed, the student body and members of the faculty tried several times to regain this school activity, but many reasons, including student indifferences, prevented a student publication from starting again. However, in the Spring of 1953, the dreams of the students came true after Student Council met with the Superintendent, Dr. DeVVitt Zuemer and Dr. Kirsehner, both approving of the new project. This year's staff worked long and hard trying to put into each issue the current events of Scott High School and the two Junior High Schools. The editorial staff hoped it has gained interest and has tried to keep the newspaper as one of the favorite activ ities of our school in the future issues. Students having any suggestions for the succeeding issues were asked to tell them to a member of the staff. The faculty sponsor is Mr. J. Kliskey. The staff is as follows: Editor ......................................

JhsL dibhaAi How fortunate we are having a library in our school today. Did it ever occur to you the difficult time we would have to find certain books, encyclopedias, etc., if we had no library? We should all appreciate this privilege. Our librarian devotes many hours to give us the best reading material and assistance that is possible. The student librarians are proud to be a part of this great work. They have a certain responsibility which will be a great factor when they are ready for their respective positions after graduation. They must have the ability to work with one another, be courteous, neat, and trustworthy. Remember, a kind word goes a long way. Students, when you go to the library, appreciate what you have and take the best of care in handling the books, magazines, etc. This will improve the standard of the library for the students to come. 05 book, may bsL cla qhscd cl ihinq a cl baJtilsL.

The Music Department of Scott High School is composed of two phases, vocal and instrumental. The vocal music consisting of a mixed chorus of 52 voices performed often this year. The program included baccalaureate and commencement services. Also during the year they participated in outside activities, such as, singing at the Hotary Club, and other community affairs. The orchestra played for baccalaureate, commencement, and Senior Class play. The band, as usual, excelled in many displays at the football games. During education week the hand played a very fine concert and in the spring another concert was held. They also participated in several parades including Kennywood Park, the Hallowe’en Parade and the St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Pittsburgh, at which time the band won first prize for Junior Bands for the second consecutive year. gloomy. cw A. wifi bsL hqMsmsud by.

FRANK FOSTER Board of Education MR. WILLIAM BACHE Basketball Coach hidvwn, finvisHV The 1954 season came out as well as could lx expected for the Raiders, even though there were enormous casualties. The won and lost column showed 5 wins, 3 losses and 1 tie, which may be on the equal to the record of the 1953 club. The team opened the season by handing a strong North Catholic-team a 19-12 defeat. They went on downing Taylor Allderdiee 26-7 when they then met some strong opposition in the Indians from Munhall and deadlocked to a 0-0 tie. They then went across the hill to Homestead and defeated them 25-18. Again just as in the 1953 season, the Raiders suffered its first loss at the hands of Har-Brack 14-0. The following week still found defeat in the air as the Raiders fought valiantly to upset the unbeaten Dukes from Duquesne, but lost 33-27. The next week was different at the Raiders went to the Holy City of Wilkinsburg and beat them 34-22. The Rival game as always, saw the Raiders losing to the Braddock Tigers, W.P.I.A.L. Class A Co-Champs, 13-12 before a chilled rain-soaked crowd. The final game found the Raiders up for the next game in downing Turtle Creek 21-6. Helping Johnny Reed on the coaching staff were Mr. Shuntill, Mr. Bache and Mr. Celigoi. On the forward wall for the Raiders were Goudelok. Egnatz, Kobul-inskv, Hurst, Dumbo, Pidit and Meklas. Composing the backfield were Brahim, Burdell, Yurek, McMullen, Pepe, Smith, and Yurko. Brahim, McMullen and Yurko missed some of the season due to injuries. t TRAIN'KR JIM STLVES 77 JJisl (Diamond, Ia JthsL handcAt AiibAtanco, known, to man,.

There were only three holdovers from last year's squad, George Burdell, Bob Pepe, and “Woody” Mramor. In Scott’s exhibition tilts, Scott was only able to eoine out with three out of seven starts, but anything can happen during preseason contests. Scott started its League games with a loss to Turtle Creek and kept on losing to teams such as Swissvale, Rankin, Penn, Wihnerding, Bract dock, and Wilkinsburg in the first half. Scott lost its second Half Season opener to Turtle Creek but bounced back with a victory over Swissvale. Scott wasn’t strong enough to outplay Rankin and Penn and lost both of them; but finally beat the Wihnerding team. Scott finished out the season by losing to Braddock and Wilkinsburg. The overall record for the season was five wins and seventeen losses. Helping this year's squad were juniors, “Gus” D’Urso, Joe Bache; sophomores, Bob Tomasic and Bill Bichsel. Taking the high scoring spot for Scott was George Burdell, who also was a good playmaker. Pepe took care of most of the rebounds but received help from Joe Bache, a late season starter, and D’Urso. “Woody” Mramor also was a late season starter due to an injury. In 1956. the Scotties will have D’Urso, Tomasic, Joe Bache, and Bichsel as holdovers plus a fair reserve of boys to make it rough in Section 7 race. Left to right: Coach Bache, C. Burdell. R.
