DANLEY We, the Class of Nineteen Hundred Fifty-three, dedicate our yearbook to you, Mrs. Margaret Danley, for your twenty-five years of teaching the boys and girls of our township. Not only we, but many other classes have had the opportunity to be motivated by your patience, understanding, and good judgment. You were one of the Junior Class sponsors for twelve years, and through your guidance you have helped our class to become successful graduates. There were times when many of us would have given up in despair, but then you were there at our side, helping us as you had so many times before. Without your patience, many of us would never have completed our courses. You have always given us the will to try again, and have erased from our minds the fear of defeat. How can any of us ever forget the hours you spent after school explaining to us what we did not understand in class. We also wish to thank you for showing towards us a feeling of friendship and sincerity, and for giving us the benefit of the doubt no matter what the circumstances may have been. These are a very few of the things for which we have to thank you. We could never express in words our feelings of gratitude to you. This, our dedication, is just a small tribute for all you have done for our school, and for us. 6 1' X Q' '- It ,111 ' . f .'?.R Wx-E ' ., -,' , 'ff il, 'f F-f .- .5---. .A 1 -.1 .. 5 ' 1.---1. .g..-' f , c 0 14 mini I ation School Koard MR.

Weaver, our super- vising principal, has shown to us through these last twelve years, the wisdom and leadership needed to pre- pare us to cope with the problems of the world. The main part of every assembly, which has taken place in the Snowden Twp. High School auditorium, was the interesting and impressive informal talk given by Mr. Weaver. Often we have stood here and re- ceived helpful advice from this patient and understanding friend. MR. WEAVER , Mr. Weaver, who has guided us through our past year at Snowden with much wisdom and understanding, deserves more thanks than we can possibly give. We shall miss his impressive assemblies, un- forgettable lectures, and his understanding which is unsurpassed. He was most helpful to us as students in studies, activities, and organi- zations. He has helped us in every way to be better citizens. He has prepared us to cope with the world and all its adversities. We thank him for his patience and consid- eration. We shall surely never forget him. CHARLES RUFFING, B.A. FRANK MARKLEY, B.S., Ed.M. MARY MARANICH, B.S. MARGARET DANLEY, B.S., Ed.M.

We found the high school very dif- ferent from the grade schools, where we spent our first seven years. The studies were the same but still, somehow, different. Maybe it was the confusement and idea of being in high school. But something changed school from a requirement to a pleasure. It was in our eighth grade year that we made our first attempt to work as a team. We sold magazines, which gave us a start as a class. As Freshmen, we began to pick up momentum, by now we were accustomed to the new rules and were acquainted with most of the upperclassmen. That year we were given the chance to ioin the Girls' Athletic Association, which almost every girl took advantage of by ioining. And at this time the boys were permitted to go out for sports. It was this year that the Y-Teen girls gave us a welcoming party. Then, when we were Sophomores, we really got into the thick of things by ioining the Y-Teens and the Hi-Y. By then we were beginning to realize that we were coming up in the world, there was actually someone beneath us that we could call under- classmen. Next came our Junior Year, which was the year that our class learned to work as a unit. For it was that year that the Junior-Senior Prom, Central Park , was given for the seniors. Even though we were dead tired from getting things ready, the majority of us went and had a wonderful time dancing to the music of Lee Kelton and his orchestra. We also presented our Junior Class Play, Demon In The Dark , which required much co- operation from the whole class. The Junior Year brought us an- other memorable day. The day we received our class rings. It was then that we realized how far we had come since we first entered Snowden High iust four short years ago. It was then, that year at graduation, that we ourselves, in one year, would be taking our places on that very same stage in those same graduation gowns. Then, as Seniors, we experienced some of the greatest events of our lives. Since the first day of our Senior Year we have not had time to stop. It has lust been one thing after another. Be- sides taking part in the numerous money-making proiects, many other activities kept busy as only Seniors can be. A few of these numerous things were: getting our senior pictures taken, writing namecards, working on the Aquila, and class play, Here Comes Charlie , and selling Christmas Cards. Amid all this hustle and bustle, Graduation Day crept up on us and we found ourselves thrown again into a mad ordeal of preparation.

This energetic and talented group of students is soon to become the future Seniors at Snowden. This class is very ambitious and has taken over many activities during the year, such as their skating parties, class play, and movies. These projects helped raise money for their most important activity during this past year, their Junior- Senior Prom. The Prom proved to be a big success because of the fine display of planning the work that was connected with this dance. It was enioyed by all who attended. One of the most important events forthe Juniors this year was receiving their class rings. They were always ready to take part in any activity that was occurring in the school and are well known for their co-operation with other classes. In this way they have won respect from all of the teachers and the entire student body. With all these activities successfully completed behind them, they are well equipped to become good Seniors. 30 l McKee, M. Langhurst, l.. Richard- 1 1 Fourth Row-L. Fortino, D, Wood, H. Miller, B.

This goal will prove to be one ot the most trying they have ever undertaken. The large sum ot money which they now have in their treasury was acquired by hard work and co-operation. During the past year the sophomores have held such ditlierent activities as, selling candy, co'Ffee, pop corn, and potato chips at the football games. They also put on little skits for the di'FFerent clubs ot the high school. Everyone liked them and have great expectations of them in the future. All their proiects proved to be successful. This class, other than being a class that has hustle, is also considered friendly and mannerly by both teachers and upper-classmen. They have done their best to achieve a good standing since they came to Snowden. We can safely say that they have accomplished that goal. 31 . l First Row-M. Webster, A. Trussell B. Moore, R.

Participating in all the activities of the school year was a task that they undertook with eagerness and enthusiasm. At all of our games they tried to outcheer the upperclassmen. They repeatedly boosted the boys' morale. They have gained recognition from teachers as well as other students. Time and time again they have demonstrated their willingness to work and to do their part in making Snowden a pleasant school. You will find that they are well mannered both in school and on the campus. One of the outstanding events that the Freshmen attended this year was the Freshmen Welcome Party held by the Y-Teens. The purpose of the party was to initiate them into high school life. They were entertained by the Y-Teen girls. This worthy class will not have to worry about getting along in their future years at Snowden. 32 Hamilton, L. Cashdollar, J. Lacko- Fourth Row-C. Leonard, D. Wil- First Row-B. Hinton, K.

As you can see, they are by far a large group. In September, when they first entered Snowden, they were met with stern- faced teachers and a puzzled look from the upper-classmen. Everyone was a little wary about these new students whom they knew so little about, but soon it was realized that here was a fine group of boys and girls. Making themselves worthy of being able to learn rules and regulations was an easy task for this group. They rolled up their sleeves and began working, making friends, and getting the general idea of high school life. As many of the other students now know, they became our best cheering section at all athletic events. Their magazine selling proiect, which they under- took during the year, proved to be a tremendous success. This was only one of the things they accomplished. Their success in future years shall not be denied. 33 Junior misses, Goin' our wc1y??

The Class of '53 has always had in mind that this year's Aquila would be one of the finest ever to be published. Hard work and co-operation from the members have gone into making the yearbook the success we hoped it to be. Although the work was at times nerve wracking, those on the staff enioyed it immensely. Looking back over the years spent in our Alma Mater, this yearbook will be the perfect mirror of all the fun, happiness, and heartbreaks we shared together. STAFF FIrst Row-A. Sullenberger, M.

Under the supervision of Miss Vida Potter, they publish a monthly newspaper, which brings enioyment to all. This is the result of hard work and co-operation. The Broadcaster is made up of students from the eighth to the twelfth grade. Everyone who wishes to participate is eligible. This year's staff has been very busy selling greeting cards and silver polish to acquire an electric mimeograph machine. They proved to be very profitable proiects. Our Broadcaster is considered one of the finest publications and has gained the recognition of not only our students but those from other schools. OFFICERS G. Tewell, Assistant Editor, M.

Membership is open to the Sophomore, Junior, and Senior girls. An impressive meeting the Y-Teens hold is the candlelight service. At this service, every old member lights a new girls' candle, thus complet- ing the initiation. The Y-Teens have sponsored a Freshmen Welcome Party, Orphan's Party, Christmas Dance, and Mothers' Tea. At the end of the year, there is a Hi-Y and Y-Teen picnic, a highlight of spring festivities. This club will continue to carry on its fine work and help contribute to the success of many girls' lives. Y-TEEN OFFICERS R. Bruce, M. Cleary, N. Zupancic, P.

The Hi-Y Club is built on a platform of clean speech, clean living, and sportsmanship. These ideals make it a very important function in our school life. The Hi-Y Club is one of the largest clubs in our school and each year more boys real- -YI ize the pleasure and good fellowship which can be had by joining the Hi-Y. An annual activity of the Hi-Y Club is the Sadie Hawkins' Day Dance. To make the club a never ending success, the members continually strive for one goal, good Christian character. First Row-M.

This is a weekly dance held by the students in co-opera- tion with their sponsors, Miss Miller and Mr. Cherney. This canteen has done much to better the social ease and fel- lowship among the students. At Canteen we enioy meeting stu- dents from other schools who have come to share the fun and clean fellowship which it offers. The Canteen is the largest club in our school and in years ahead may it pros- per as it has in the past. l 40 Ufficem G. A. A. Oflicers--D. Johnston, L. Trunzo, P. Schol- lenberger, M. Hughes, P. Patellos The G. A. A. is an athletic and social club under the supervision of Miss Emily C. Miller. This association consists of girls whose main interest are sports, and a better understanding of their fellow workers. They have worked hard to estab- lish these aims throughout the years. Their most important event was an athletic banquet which proved a great success. The G. A. A. also sponsors the May Day Program and the Youth on Parade. All these projects have become traditional since the club has been organized. Girls varsity, which is also sponsored by this club, is made up of its mem- bers and their records will always be remembered. Success in future years will be the outcome of this worthy club. los, M.

It is divided into two groups, each having different ofticers, but one united purpose, to be well educated in biological studies. The members bring in specimens which serve as the basis of instruction. Discussions and experiments prove most interesting to all who take part. ln the spring, a field trip is taken to Pittsburgh to see the Flower Show at Phipp's Conservatory, the Museum, the Library, Cathedral of Learning, and the Zoo. Their biggest thrill was renting biological movies to serve as a visual aid to further their education. First Row-J. Siler, L. Comis, C. Fuhrer C. Leonard, D. Schmitt, E. Romano, B May, E. Kubis, C.

Relaxin Smile pretty, Posing, In a iolly mood, Don't be mean! 43 ' l l Memory bmp After years have gone by cmd Snowden has forgotten the Class of '53, mem- ories ofthe wonderful days we spent here will linger on. How can we forget the way Frank Zupancic always argued with the teachers? Or the ribbing John Prokop took from the kids? Games and dances have given us a chapter in our memory book. Joe Gleason's sharp-shooting and Dave Kurtak's football playing are things we'll never forget. Remember the time at Canteen when Julie Melani fell? Or how about that little incident when Walter Harriett gallantly tried to hurdle a fence at a football game and fell flat on his face? Irma l.ee Montgomery's purse snatching and comic antics will never fade away. John Zelena's fighting with the girls and Richie Harriett's catty ways are vivid in our memories. The picnics we've had throughout the years were really a riot. What about the time Mae Cleary and Margie Hudson got doused in the water can? Ruthie Bruce, Barbara Briggs, and Adrienne Mahalkey doing the Charleston for May Day. May Days add more lines to our book. The wonderful acrobatic ability of Peg Schallenberger, Rosann Brandis, and Dolores Johnston was none less than the strength of Ronnie Gates, Bill Gray, and Bud Felix in the adagio dances. Wilma White, Hilda Quivers, Willie Bea Bradley, and Ann Richardson added a certain touch to their singing which will never be forgotten. We'll constantly be reminded of the little explosions in the chemistry classes. Duane Kennedy, Wayne Love, and Fred Engel have scars to remind them. Teresa Dobrowolski and Rosemarie Shinsky will always be known as the twin dressers . How we laughed at Don Banker, Chip Lawrence, and Bob Podlesnik the day of the Mayview trip. They wanted to stay!!! The quietness of Helen Barnett and Joanne Anton is well made up by Jeane Davis and Joanne Finch. We'll always remember when Ed Dickmon took some fancy spills roller skating. We'll never forget Bob Fosbaugh's and Gert Tewell's ad-libbing in the play. We'll always remember how Janet Emph, Marie Latorre, and Dorothy Gorsin giggled at lunchtime. How could we forget lilas Sewchok and Donna Lasko guarding in gym class? First period study hall will be empty without Janie Hardinger and Charlene Buresch. We'Il always remember Tresa Polacek and Marlene Trapp in our Junior Class Play. Frank Nagy and Clark Owens will always be remembered as being neat dressers. We'll miss Jimmy Felix's joke telling in P. O. D. class. Zammer Spencer's crazy iitterbug steps won't be for- gotten. Mildred Pierce and her quiet ways will always be remembered. The last chapter of our memory book says that in spite of our crazy moments, we realize the good times we had and we are thankful for this fun to- gether. We know that in years to come we'll have all these pleasant memories of our days here at Snowden. For now we must relinquish the best years of our lives to the underclassmen. 44 1 r ! + -.

The 1952 football season was not on a par with the past seasons. The Blue and White Grid- ders won only one of the eight games played. This mediocre showing was due to two things: the unusually strong teams played, and to the lack of new football material. The candidates for the team reported in August to Coach Nedwidek, who had replaced Coach Bauer. Six senior lettermen, augmented by several promising substitutes, formed the nu- cleus of the squad, which practiced early and late to get into shape for the opening game with Monongahela, September 12. The opening game with Mon City was a thriller. Both sides battled fiercely, but the Wild- cats outscored the Eagles 20-0. ln the second game, Snowden met Bethel and played the hardest game of the season, only to lose to a score of 26-0. Pitcairn was the third defeat dealt to the Snowden eleven. It was a home game played in the South Park Oval. The second home game was with our old rival, Bentleyville. The game was a close one which ended in a 13-6 win for Bentleyville. Snowden next encountered Robinson. ln this game, Snowden reached a height of perfec- tion when they played as a perfectly co-ordinated team. They won over Robinson 40-14. South Fayette was host to Snowden for their sixth game. Snowden lost a hard-fought battle by a score of 13-7. The seventh game was lost to Bridgeville by a score of 40-7. The last game was played at the South Park Oval, where the Blue and White clashed with Cecil. The Eagles lost 21-O. The graduating seniors who will be missed from the line-up are: RONNIE GATES, co-captain and 48 minute man, outstand- ing on both offense and defense. JOE GLEASON, end and ace pass receiver, gained valu- able yardage. CLARK OWENS and DON BANKER were the two best blockers on the team. BUD FELIX was a rough man to stop when playing de- fense or offense. CHIP LAWRENCE, after a late start, fitted very efficiently as offensive center. DAVE KURTAK, co-captain, was the rugged mainstay of the backfield and high scorer for the '52 season. SCORES SNOWDEN 0 ....,...... MONONGAHELA 20 SNOWDEN 0 ..,....,....,....

McKee 50,4 mlwfaazz The 1952-53 Blue and White Eagles-possessing the characteristic Snowden fight -played through a long and difficult schedule of fourteen games, winning five and losing nine. Despite the final record, the Eagles played fine ball and were always con- sidered the upset threat of their section. They played every game to the hilt of their ability and kept pressing to the final whistle. The team was built around three experienced seniors and several promising undergraduates. Considering the lack of depth that handicapped Coach Bauer and the boys, we all think they had a highly successful season. The outstanding member of the squad was Joe Gleason. With only one year of varsity experience behind him, Joe rose to the occasion and became one of the high scorers of Section 14. His 298 points were largely the result of his excellent lay-up shot. 48 Another mainstay was Clark Owens. Clark is a four-year squad member and this experience made him the playmaker for the team. Natural shrewdness, ability to fake and long looping set shots made him a threat from any part of the floor. John Prokop, Our Boy , was the most popular player on the squad, His 6' 3 helped us control the boards and his one-hand push shot made him a leader in Section 14. John's spirit helped the boys over many a rough spot. Equally important were Harry Haenig, Michael Cero, and Chester Byars, whose hard work and determination helped make the season successful and who will be the backbone of next year's squad.

Brandis, B Moore, M. Cleary Pep! Steam! Yea Team! Any morning you'll hear these familiar cheers as you walk past the gym. The cheerleaders' hard work and earnest practice really show up in our games. They've added many new cheers and have added new and peppier arrangements for the old ones. The cheerleaders for the T952-53 season were: Seniors: Mary Cleary, Rosann Brandisp Juniors: Janet Jordan, Virginia Aldridge: Sophomores: Mary Lou Patellos, Carol Vaira: Freshman: Betty Lou Moore: Eighth Grade: Carol Johnston. These girls have cheered exuberantly for all sport activities. Their success is due to the able supervision of Miss Potter whouwillingly gave up her time to help them. 51 fiume A bright smile, a cheerful hello, and a neat appearance are among the few things that have made Miss Sallie Zoerb liked and respected by both teachers and students. During the school term, she has tried to do her best to help comfort and ease the pains and troubles of each boy and girl. Patience and understanding are the finest qualities that she possesses. We wish to express our gratitude for all that she has done. Senior C7444 Play, On December 4, 1952, the Senior Class pre- sented Here Comes Charlie , a three-act com- edy, under the direction of Mr. Charles Ruffing. lts success and popularity was greater than any other play ever presented at Snowden. This year, for the first time, Oscars were awarded to the best actor and actress chosen by the students who attended the play. The Oscars were won by Joanne Finch and Robert Fosbaugh. Ku briclem Transporting the students to and from school is a grave responsibility, one that must be taken in a serious and cautious mood. Our bus drivers have accepted this responsibility and have achieved an enviable record of twenty years' accident-free transportation. We cannot be too lavish with our thanks for these wonderful and considerate men who have set our welfare and safety on so high a standard. Hn? and Queen Left to right: Standing-L, Nagy, A.

While the attendants were chosen by their individual classes, the Reigning Couple was selected by the students. The selection of the King and Queen and the May Day Festivities are eagerly looked forward to by the student body, for it is the highlight of the spring calendar. Pledge of Nllegianee One nation indivisible, with liberty and iustice for all . . . are a few of the words we speak each morning with pride and respect.

Also, in this prayer, we ask that He guide us safely through the coming day. We are very thankful to be living in a nation that permits us to worship God as we wish. Throughout our lives we shall do the utmost to keep the Lord's Prayer a sacred trust.
