All through junior and senior high school we have been anticipating with much jubi- lation this year. A busy year with responsibilities for the annual, reflector, and senior play, it has more than tulfilled our expectation. Reminiscing with some sadness our past years at Sewickley, we first remember our junior high days and the treshman dance, our first adult affair. As soph- mores we entered a new phase. senior high, and tackled the new courses and activities with determination. Our junior year and the prom, which then seemed to be the crowning achievement of our lives. came next, but now as graduation draws near our class looks forward to a new and completely difterent life for which we have been preparing these past years at Sewickley High.

Medical Staff The chief aim of the medical staff of Se- wickley Area High Schol is to keep our pu- pils healthy and to help maintain our school health standards. The staff endeavors to ac- complish this by regular physical and dental examinations, preventive inoculations, and other health measures. The members of the staff are A. J. Cerne, M.D., H. L. Highberger, M.D. and E. Louise Carlson, R.N. In effect, the medical department may be classified as a necessity of the school. The health stand- ards of our school have gained prestige among the citizens of Sewickley Area. In gaining this prestige, Sewickley Area High School students have a substantial means of seeking the road to good health. Egg, 4 W., A. J. Cerne, M.D. H. L.

Mary Ann Zachetti Judy Leasure Ursula Serro As we the class of 1960 entered our junior year, we looked forward to a year of many new and interesting activities. The junior girls sold candy in the halls at noon and served refreshments at the football games. In late October we received one of our most treasured possessions, our class rings. Every- one was pleased and proud to wear them. Our class made its mark scholastically and athletically. We were represented on the honor roll and several of our boys played varsity in both football and basketball. Our two class dances, the Christmas Dance and the Prom, were successful and very beautifully decorated. As we leave our junior year we hold many memories that will be with us forever. We hope we can assume the responsibility of be- ing seniors. Top Row: T. Fisher, N. Milton, G. Topinka, R. Grdijan, R. Moore, T. Grushecky, C. Natale. Bottom Row: M. Constanza, E. Klus, R. Kuszai. G.

Victor Dalla Betta Secretary-Treasurer .. .... Arlene Kosor Student Council ...... Tonna Long Paul Holomshek Jay Cook Our hearts beat with joy and excitement when we, as freshmen, entered the halls of Sewickley in September and began another year in our scholastic career. At first every- thing seemed to be very confusing, but with the patience and help of the faculty and up- perclassmen, we soon became accustomed to our new school life and settled down to work. Though shy for awhile, it was not long un- til our voices were heard on the football field, in assembly, and in the halls and class- rooms. Much latent ability quickly came to life among us in social, athletic, musical, and scholastic fields. We recognize the importance of the work ahead of us and with a spirit of win or die, we shall forge ahead to prepare ourselves for the future years of our education and of our lives. 42 Top Row: S.

Bonnie Sochacki Louise Mitchell John Johnson Beginning their second year of junior high school, the eighth graders reported to the rooms of Mr. Decker, Mr. Vassia, Mr. Law- son, and Mr. McCune. As eighth graders we gained much experience in dealing with prob- lems yet to come. Our class participated in many activities and enjoyed the assemblies and pep meetings, in addition to all the foot- ball and basketball games. Many of our class- mates also participated in the band. chorus, or athletics. Those wisely chosen to guide this group are: President, Barry Smith, Vice President. Richard Critchfield, Secretary, Mary Catherine Stader, Student Council, Louise Mitchell, Bonnie Sochacki, John John- son. Taking all into consideration, we eighth graders had much fun. work, excitement, and the other things that go with high school and growing up.

M ary Prejza Linda Shink Louis Kleid Thrilled with the idea of entering the Junior High, one hundred and forty-eight seventh graders were enrolled on September 2, 1958. The seventh graders found that they had a very full schedule, with junior high curricu- lum. Besides the academic subjects, they took gym, art, music, home economics, and in- dustrial arts. Many of our seventh grade class have par- ticipated in the band, chorus, junior high football, basketball, and cheerleaders. Our cheerleaders are Maxine Vozel and Joyce Vozel. We have also participated in as- semblies and pep meetings. We are proud of being a part of Sewickley Area Joint High School, and we like to take part in assemblies. As we face the coming years, we will try to do our best, and to co- operate fully with our teachers and our class- mates. 46 Top Row: J. Keenan, R. Ricci, T. Tainton, J. Freeman, J. Peters, D.

Varsity gooiball The varsity football consists of boys who have proven, through their diligent, hard work, their fine ability to perform on the gridiron, their sportsman-like conduct and their intense desire to win, that they are capable of displaying the brand of football for which Sewickley Area's teams are noted. This is an accomplishment of which they can be proud as it took them many, long, ar- duous hours of practice. Through the competent assistance and leadership of their coaching staff, Mr. Bru- no, Mr. Slosky, and Mr. Rodebaugh, these boys gained more football knowledge and ability and an important sense of co-opera- tion. As in previous years they were well-re- warded for their efforts with a fine record and a highly succesful season.

Varsity Basheffiall Our 1958-59 Sewickley Area Basketball Team, coached by Mr. Hopkin- son, had the potentials of having a promising season. The teams experience, height, and ability are the necessities of a good team. The seniors are: John Radencic, William Spoonhoward, Robert Critch- field, Walter Slgllt, Ernest Anzur, John Zakutney, and Dennis Tepke. All of these seniors had lettered at least once in previous years. The juniors, Richard Grdijan Edward Poland, and Noble Milton and sophomore, August Popella also saw considerable action. The season's opening games found the Bisons bowing to its competi- tors, but improved as the season progressed. This group of boys repre- sented our school by excelling in sportsmanship if not in victory. 57 U14 M lx R A 14414. qv I B 1 . y V! an x X. i by 5 1 X x -2 -,ff ' Back Row: R. Spoon howard, T.

Fundamentals will be stressed throughout the season. The pur- pose of a J.V. squad is to prepare Varsity prospects for the season ahead: therefore the Won and Lost Records will not be the ultimate goal. There are several boys who possess the natural ability to become var- sity material in future years. Only the com- ing seasons will prove their value to Sewick- ley's basketball fortunes. The little Bisons started the season with a completely new team, as there were no holdovers from the previous year. The main purpose behind this team is to provide the boys with a fundamental back- ground in basketball. By doing this when they reach senior high they will be able to take their places on the varsity and provide Se- wickley with another representative team. Junior high basketball also develops a sense of competition among the boys. unior Higti Basketball Top Row: W. Aujay, J. Perlick. Middle Row: V. Dalla Betta, R. Vozel, P. Holomshek, C. Zag- ar, VV.

The staff has worked diligently to prepare the materials necessary for the production of a yearbook. Photography, layouts, and written matter were planned and carried out efficiently in order to meet the ever ap- proaching deadlines. The members hope the new ideas that were incorporated will meet with student approval. The staff hopes as you read through this annual that you will remember the class of 59 and the students who have put forth their efforts to make this yearbook a success. .fs 3 ..-f- f-- 'i .---v ,,,,.

The staff, headed by Ar- lene Rosensteel, has accomplished this aim by selling advertising space in the annual, taking subscriptions, and sponsoring movies. It is not an easy task to finance a year- book such as this. It requires time, patience, co-operation, and hard work. We can truthfully say that each member of the business staff has done his share to lessen the financial burden of this yearbook. We know this work was not done in vain. We hope you will enjoy your U59 Sewickley for many years to come. Back row: A. Rosen- steel, V. Watt, D. Ga- lante, R. Smouse, R. Grushecky,,J. Kaufman. Front row: E. Yarko- vich, F. Valore, A.

Fronted by its eleven majorettes the band has participated in community parades, high-lighted the halftimes at football games, and taken part in other activities. As we see the end of this year's football season the band is busily preparing for the coming Band Concert and next year's season. The Band Concert is the main event of the year for the band members and will feature various musical selections plus twirling rou- tines by the majorettes. The officers for this year are: President- David Johns, Vice-President-Janet Popp, Secretary Treasurer-Albert Abateg Student Council-Dennis Tepke. The Sewickley Area Majorettes are eleven high-stepping girls who colorfully display their talents at football games, pep meetings, pa- rades, and the annual band concert. Led by head-majorette, Cynthia Menozzi, these girls perfected many twirling routines and tricky for- mations during the summer and seventh and activity periods. Cynthia Menozzi, Anna Mary Martz, Patricia Yelich, and Marilyn DeTurk are the graduating majorettes. Janet Anzur, a junior, is the assis- tant head-majorette. All these girls deserve much praise for lend- ing us their time and ability. Majoreffes...

V Stage Crew The Stage Crew, headed by Clark Bussard, as capable chairman,is a group of hard work- ing boys under supervision of Miss Mitchell. Throughout the year these boys are called upon to give assistance in preparing the stage for assemblies, movies, and programs for the public. The boys who work diligently behind the stage curtains are seldom recognized as an important part of school life, but without their reliable and untiring effort many per- formances could not be presented. Movie Crew e Clubs J W. Janitor, C. Bussard, t K. Miller. Services rendered by the crew consists of showing guidance movies to aid students in their studies, and also full length movies for entertainment. Although often deprived of study periods, members are expected to main- tain high scholastic standingg to be trust- worthy, and to be able to assume responsi- bility of operating and caring for valuable equipment and films.

The students have received French corres- pondents and enjoy writing to their friends abroad. Under the supervision of Miss Mitchell, the group will strive exceedingly to emphasize its motto: Liberte', EquaIite', and Fraternitei Thanks to Le Cerle Francais for our bon voyage of memories. This year the staff of the Sewickley Area High School newspaper, Reflector , was capably advised by Mrs. Elizabeth Garlow. During the course of this year, the staff worked hard trying to meet deadlines, typing, and tried to get as much school news as pos- sible in a small space. The Reflector was published four times this year, including a special Christmas edi- tion. This paper was published in the interest of the students and was enjoyed by all. This active club was organized at the re- quest of English students for the purpose of expressing original creative writing. The club gives encouragement to those who like to write and it provides them with a means of presenting their manuscripts to others. The meetings of this organization are held bi-monthly under the supervision of Miss Mitchell. These meetings are made more en- joyable by guest speakers, who are interested in literature and writing, and contests for the best original pieces of work. The club members have chosen these of- ficers: President, Cynthia Menozzig Vice- President, Olive Joy Villottig Treasurer, Le- roy Bussardg Assistant Secretary, Karen Sle- ber: Secretary, Patricia Uranag Student Council Representative, Patricia Kopcakg Re- porter, Karl Kuszaj.

The Constitution was revised this year so that this organization may more effectively meet the requirements of the students and the school. This group gives the students a view of government in an institution and therefore students are better prepared to take part in community government. It is a neces- sary part of our school life. unior Hign Student Council I t Standing: L. Mitchell, B. So- chachi, J. Long, L. Shink, M. Prejza, J. Cook, L. Kleid. Seat- ed: P. Holomshek.
