XVe lnnnbly dedicate this animal to you in appreciation of your guidance and friendship to us. VVe often disliked the homework you assigned and your insis- tence that it be done right and on time. Now We understand your purpose, and we are grateful. XVe know that we would never have grown in skill and knowledge if you had not done this. You had a way of getting things across to us little cherubsf' XVe shall never forget those times when we were involved in some bookkeeping principle, nor the time we made such silly errors in shorthand transcription. uMy goodness, you peoplelv you would always say. You acted angry, but we could see the smile trying to peep out at the corners of your mouth and the twinkle in your eyes. Then you would start to explain, not just once, but until we all understood. Patience like yours is hard to match. Instead of exploding, you laughed, and we laughed with you. It was truly marvelous the problems you could think up to illus- trate a case, contract, or principle. Those stories you dictated in short- hand class were unique. The only trouble was that you seldom had time to finish them because the bell always rang first. Time flew in your classesl Thank Vou, Xliss Telban, for being the wonderful teacher and friend that you were, and still are, to us. G Mr. Clifford Handel, Presidentg Mr. Srunuel I. Engott, Viee-Presidentg Mr. Michael Panaride, Secretary. jchrwlboalwi Very few of the general public are aware of five men who meet every month at the high school. This group is our school board, composed of Mr. Handel, Mr. Engott, Mr. Panaride, Mr. Dalrymple, and Mr. Roadway. who are elected for a term of six years by the people of Snowden Township. On their shoulders lies the great responsibility of our three schoolsg the hiring and firing of teachers and janitorial staff, raising and lowering of wages, making out yearly budgets, dividing funds for activities and expenses, and the receiving and giving out of sealed bids for repairs. They decide upon the school policies, and this is then carried out by the administrator. Their meetings are all open to anyone who is interested in attending, thereby present- ing an opportunity to see the board in action and find out how the school is being operated. They are without a doubt an im- portant factor in our democratic school system. Mr. Iohn 1. Bruce, Tax Colleetorg Mr. VValter Dalryinpleg Mr. Albert Roadwayg Mr. Frank Reich, Solicitor 8 supffw' ' , pfuywpar Itls very difficult to find adjectives to describe the man who had led us through the stormy years of high school. His knowledge and great love for his work have added greatly to the improvement of our school svstem. His friendly disposition, understanding character, and enjoyment of clean fun are just a few of the qualities that have gained him the love and respect of all the students. The Halloween situation was a typical example of his understanding nature. Some- one took soine old hrooms, put them in the ash cans, and tied them on the main entrance gate. Th following day, someone took a lot of hranches. some iron poles and an old muskrat and again decorated the front door. Both of these events were taken good naturedly by our Mr. NVeaver and proved once again that he has our interest at heart. This is only one of the manv events that was ahlv handled hy Mr. YVeaver. Time and again he helped lead us towards our goals. As long as he remains principal of Snowden we know that each class will receive the same wonderful attention toward citizenship that our class received. Mr. VVeaver.

His personality is such that all troubles are quickly and easily placed into his hands, and it is a common sight to find someone being taken care of in his office. Although some of our visits are occasionally associated with pain, we must admit that Doctor MacBurney and his wonderful pro- fession are greatly needed in our school system. Wlluwn, Mrs. Brunetti, our capable nurse, is from Brough- ton, Pennsylvania. She has been Snowdenis school nurse for two alternate years, and her assistance to doctor, dentist, and student body has been indispen- sible. She not only takes care of the bruises of the high school boys and girls, but also renders her pro- fessional service to Stewart and Broughton grade schools. No matter how slight or how serious the wound, Mrs. Brunetti is always on hand with her wonderful smile and professional knowledge. Qndm, Doctor VVilfong, our school doctor, is a great asset to the high school as well as to the two grade schools. Through his annual examinations he is able to detect bad hearts, poor hearing, faulty vision, and other bodily disorders. After he has located a dis- order, you are sure to receive professional advice. We seniors extend our appreciation to him for all his wonderful and helpful diagnoses and advice which have so greatly helped us to be better and stronger sitizens. 12 ,. 1 2 vlzfw V l I3 ..

Soon Weuseniors will face the hard realities of life in the outer World - a world far different from school routine. Business, college, and the army will claim some of us, others will marry and be busy making plans for their homes. These things are just shadowy dreams now, but one of these days they will become very real and clear. VVe fondlv recall the various exciting activities at Snowden High - clubs, dances, football and basketball games, class plays, and fun-filled picnics. VVe,ll miss them all.

YVe feel that these five years are unforgettable ones. J The first, and probably the most difficult, rung was eighth grade when every- thing was new and exciting, our new teachers Mrs. Ramaley and Miss Philips, the change of classes, and the confusing bell system. It all seemed like turmoil, but slowly we adjusted ourselves. WVe held our first money-making scheme that year, our magazine selling campaign - and what a success! We felt superior when our freshmen year arrived, but that didnlt last for long. Miss Miller and Mr. Nedwidek saw to that. Our beloved Mrs. Danley was always asnatching us bald-headed in our first year of algebra - and we deserved it! An especially memorable day was the day the girls forgot to dress properly. They came in pajamas, hair up in curlers, no makeup. No, not insanity - just G.A.A. initiation day. Our sophomore year was the hardest, as regards studying, but Miss Deets, Miss Telban, and Mr. Cherney kept us on our toes. 1951 brought with it a new crop of babies,' around school. The girls donned short skirts, baby bonnets, and bottles - all for the benefit of the Y-Teens. What a sight to behold! The boys wore white shirts, ties, sports jackets, and of all things, gym shorts for the Hi-Y. Searching for a mad-money scheme, we realized that our Eagle fans got hungry watching the games, so we gave them refreshments. When a new activity was desired, we held the first skating party and nearly exploded with pride at its success. Near the end of the year we went with Mr. Cherney on the yearly biology trip, and shortly after that we had our first class picnic at Willow Tree Grove - it was a picnic of picnics! Our junior year was the best in all respects. Mrs. Maranich and Mrs. Danley helped us with our two skating parties, which drew record attendance. Santa brought us our junior class rings. and we invented all kinds of ways to display them to everyone in the school building. Under the leadership of Mr. Ruffing, and with the hard labor of the cast, our production of Bolts and Nutsv became a smash hit and drew unprecedented attendance at the adult performance. Frank Iacano and Eleanor Blythe proudly displayed the 'iOscars,' they received as re- wards for being the best actor and actress. If you smelled apple blossoms that year, you werenit in an orchard - you were at the junior-senior prom. We thought it was the best ever! N Now at last we were the big wheels, and we let everyone know it - even our advisors, Miss Levos and Miss Potter. We werenlt as conceited as we might have been fhaljg we were still trying to help the school. In October we showed a movie entitled 'KStart Cheeringv and that's exactly what we were trying to inspire. Early in the year we chose our Aquila staff and got to work? ? P P Our pictures were taken by Whitehall Studios, and when they returned - well what did you expect, miracles? During the month of November our name cards came, and .we never knew we had so many friends. We certainly were kept busy sign- ing them. It was the year, a wonderful year, filled with happiness and the 1n- eyitable heartache of parting. Graduation drew near, everyone was so excited, and the chief speakers were kept busy preparing their speeches for the great occasion. It was so hard for us to learn to walk down the aisle and hard to think that it was the end of the fun and even the hard work. With a few tears and a smile, we accepted our diploma and hoped that the rest of our years would be as happy and eventful as those spent at Snowden High. Plant wisdom today, harvest success tomorrow. gleam, folzfm, 61614-'L Jlvwffr Red and White Red R050 20 spvffw . Um, 911' iajw, sms 21 Singing ability .......

The 'Kring manw was scheduled to come that morning. Many wondered when the rings would be delivered. VVould they come before Christmas? One day in mid-December this question was answered. VVhat a proud group of juniors We saw that day! They used every possible scheme to draw attention to their beautiful rings. Throughout the year this industrious class planned and labored for the Iunior-Senior Prom. They selected Russ Romerois orchestra to provide the music for this gala dance. KTreasure Islandv was chosen for the theme Bones, seaweed, pieces-of-eight, and old trunks were typical of the decorations for this original setting. Punch Was served from a barrel. Delightful memories remain With all Who attended this Wonderful dance. gm eggs-M- President ., . . . , . . ., .,.. . . . , Albena Boyer Vice president . . .. Iohn Uzmaek Secretary . ..... .. ..

Is algebra as hard as they say it isPv Such were the remarks We remember as We look back to that Warm day of September 9. They thought they were quite an experienced crowd. After all, it Wasnit everyone Who had had a Whole year of high school! This class, no longer composed of a group of adolescents, now took an integral part in most high school affairs. Their first step toward Winning the respect of the school was their Bon Fire Rally when they treated everyone with cokes and hot dogs. Soon this class of freshmen will be no more - its members will be sopho- mores. Wfe are sure that they will efficiently take on the added burdens of the year and the years to follow. aw. oggzwa President , . . , . .. Libby Iones Vice-President ,. Irene Errington Secretary .

The Aquila staff, composed of twenty-one seniors, started as early as August to lay plans for the big, 354 Aquila. This group Worked hard throughout the year trying to perfect their Writeups in order to pass the scrutinizing eyes of Miss Levos and the editor Nancy Leech. Since this was their first and last experience With anything as important as a yearbook, everyone was under a terrific strain. Deadlines. rewrites, and more rewrites, staying after school, mounting pictures. and hair-tearing was all part of the yearbook - but did nothing to help the staffis nerves, everything had to be soooo perfect. NVhen the long-awaited day of giving out the hooks arrived, everyone forgot the many hours of blood, toil, sweat, and tearsw, and just settled down to enjoy their well-earned product. The editors of this yearbook would like to extend their sincere thanks to those Who helped to make the '54 Aquila a success. Top Row-E. Blythe, N. Zu- pancic, P. Patellos, N. Leech J. Alordan, K.

This vearlv visit has helped make our Broadcaster the excellent publication it is. ln an attempt to give us a more complete selection, our newspaper not only gives us the news of our own school hut also carries on a very efficient exchange page. Elaine Olah. Assistant Editorg Bliss Potter, Ad- visor: Yvonne Terehiek, Editor: Cecila Some ofthe important features of the Broad- caster are the sports page, peeping pattyv, the exchange page. and of course. regular school news. The sports page gives us a complete cover- age of all the games of the month. 'iPeeping pattyw informs us of 'iromancesl' that are hlossoming. and often gives us the latest scandal. In the exchange page we find jokes that are borrowed from other school newspapers and which add humor to our paper. More of the students should become inter- ested in this project, for it helps to develop citizenship and hetter understanding of people in general. Editor . . , ..

It Was just the forty new members of the Y-Teens being initiated into the club. After a fun-filled day roaming the halls at large, these spacemen, instead of climbing into space saucers, boarded the buses and quietly Went home. At the next meeting, in the solemn candlelight service, they took the oath that made them a part of the organization. The Y-Teens is an active unit of the Y.YV.C.A. and plays a large part in the moral and social life of its members. Its membership, which now numbers 55, is open to the girls of the sopho- more, junior, and senior classes. In December the Y-Teens and Hi-Y co- Ufjakma, President . .,,,. ,.

Attended by Santa with gifts for all, the party was full of the Christmas spirit, and the children Went home with shining eyes, happy faces, and many treasured gifts. The Christmas Dance, held annually by this group, was one of the outstanding events of the year. The theme, Sparkle Serenade, provid- ed an opportunity to turn the gym into a glitter- ing showroom. The impressive decorations re- mained long in the memories of those Who at- tended. The ycarls activities Were drawn to a close by the annual picnic that provided a fitting cli- max to a perfect year of hard Work and fun. Ilelen Briggs.

Each class elects officers and pays monthly dues. The classes this year were known as The Bug Clubn and Biology Crackpotsf' The fifty-eight members explored the wonders of nature in book study and - of all places - in Mr. Cherneyis room, which contains various types of plants, acquariums with live fish, and pickled animals, bugs, and snakes that are located in jars in his cupboard. Dues go to rent educational movies which are seen during class periods. The highlight of the year is the yearly club trip in which all the members board the school bus and spend a wonderful day at Phipps Conservatory, Car- negie Museurn, Heinz Chapel, Pitt University, and Highland Park Zoo. The climax of the year comes when the two classes go together for one big picnic. Food anyone? there's plenty of it! Mr. Cherney sees to it that everyone donates, and the event is always a successful one. 84 Second Row Q L. Bell, A. Tcl'- Ccrar, A. Morousc, VV. Her! -I, Melavec. 1, Zupancic, Binnc, F. Corisck, B.

On many Thurs- day nights, from 7:30 to 11:00, We dance to all the latest music by the most popular bands and vocalists. The only complaint is that We donit see these famous celebritiesg they come to us via records. These records are purchased from the twenty-five cent admission fee that is charged to all who attend. At the end of the year the remaining funds are used to buy a gift for the school. Under the competent guidance of Miss Miller and Mr. Cherney, the officers conduct a Well organized program that has made Thursday night nhighlight nightf, At these dances We have the opportunity to see and dance with old and new acquaintances from Our school and neighboring schools. In October combination bonfire rallies and Canteen dances were held. Everyone gathered around the huge bonfire, cheered with the cheerleaders, and had hot dogs and coke supplied by the freshmen. Later, the usual Canteen dances were held. The rally-dances were great successes, for they showed our true school spirit. Record Players . , ,... . ....... . .. D. WVood and ll.

The trek of forty girls through the halls dressed in burlap and smeared with makeup was not evidence of poverty or hard times -- it was merely a Girls, Athletic Association initiation which showed the high spirits and sportsmanship of this group. Survivors of this initiation are readily accepted into the C.A.A. for their dis- play of fine ncliaracterf' This organization, made up of seventy-four members ranging from grades nine to twelve, is sponsored by Miss Miller and plays on im- portant role in the lives of its members. Players for the Varsity Basketball Team are picked exclusively from the G.A.A., and the games are important occasions to both new and old members. Spectators will not easily forget Roeis one handed push ups, Kayis long shots, or Pattyis and Helenis fine guarding. Looking back, February brought with it the election of the Court for May Day. Everyone waited with bated breath to 'learn' who would finally preside as King and Queen. Wlhen news of the selection reached our ears, congratulations were in order for the winning couple. ln March the C.A.A. members prepared for the Athletic Banquet, which was attended by all varsity members and cheerleaders. The senior boys and girls were guests of honor and received their sweater and letter awards. The last G.A.A. affair the 1954 seniors had with this organization was the South Park picnic at the end of the year. YVith this knowledge in their hearts, a proverbial tear came to the girls' eyes. Thus another year came to an end with officers and members well pleased. oggrcw. President . ., . , . . Patricia Patellos Vice-President ., , ,...

The 1953 football season officially opened in September, but to the boys and their coaches it started near the end of August. Our boys were full of fight and ready to start off a good season. This year the Snowden Eagles had two coaches, Mr. Nedvvidek and Mr. Bauer, to catch their mistakes and make them drive for a suc- cessful season. The opening game took place at the Mon- Gity stadium and saw our boys not quite ready. The night was Wet and the rain fell heavily. This and other factors led to a 19-0 defeat for the Blue and YVhite. For the second game of the season the Eagles traveled to Bethel to encounter a long- time rival. It vvas a hard-fought game on both sides, but Bethel turned out on top 12-0. The third game of the season Was a heart- breaker for the Eagles and their coaches. Snow- den dropped this game to Pitcairn 7-0. The Eagles took Perryopolis into the field and heat them 12-7 at the South Park Oval. The Blue and White Warriors of Snovvden traveled far to Robinson to prove too much for the Bobinson club, as they romped easily to a 19-2 victory over their foes. In the contest With South Fayette the Eagles lost 20-12, but came to life again by beating Morganza by the score of 27-6. Snovvden wound up in one of the hardest- fought contests when they traveled to Bridge- ville to play a good Cecil team and the game ended in a tie 7-7 that left both sides feeling very proud because of the outstanding job they did. This game ended a better than average season and savv the Eagles Winding up With four losses, three Wins, and one tie. Hats off to Mr. Nedwidek, our head coach, and Mr. Bauer, his assistant.

Haeuiff Enya' 56'aA.A'm56alL The 1953-54 Snowden Eagle basketball campaign, though not a success in the win column, was one of experience and learning for the underclassmen. Our Eagles were unsuccess- ful in their attempts to gain a win, but they hope for a better season next year. The Eagles, under the direction of Mr. Bauer and Mr. Nedwidek engaged in twelve exciting games, losing all of these due to stronger opponents and the loss of a few players. They opened the Section 14 play by drop- ping a hard-fought contest to Chartiers on the home floor. Things went from bad to worse with losses to Bridgeville, Carnegie, Peters, Chartiers, Cecil, and South Fayette in home and away engage- ments. The coaches tried everything possible -- juggling the line-up, benching some players, and playing others - all to no avail. The Eagles just couldnit seem to put the ball through the hoop. The Eagles wound up the campaign with South Fayette in a home game. They fought hard and tried to avenge an earlier loss, but things just would not go right.

MIL' A5'a.4lmfl:alL This year our girls, basketball varsity has Mbrought home the baconi' many times. The fourteen girls on the team have fought bravely for their many tri- umphant victories, they were ably coached by Miss Miller. If any of the girls didnit get to play during a game, they always cheered STHS from the bench The schedule was packed full of old traditional rivals. Next yearis team will have to go some to make up for the six seniors who are leaving. The captain and center, Rosemarie Kellar, will be very hard to re- place, she was fast, tricky, and a high scorer. Janet Jordanis lay-ups and foul shots made many an extra winning point. When Kay Schang started driving, or got in the clear for a long shot, look out! Shirley Iohnson seemed to know just when to pass, shoot, or dribble. We mustn't forget, either, the splendid support of the under-Classmen. The two senior guards are Patty Patellos and Helen Briggs. They did a good job of passing, blocking passes, and keeping the oppositionis scoring down. The underclass guards also did a commendable job. All of the seniors are three-year varsity members except Janet, who has been on varsity for four years. SCORES Snowden 28 .. ., ..........,..., ,.....

This was the cry heard from the seven top- notch Snowden High cheerleaders as they tried to push our teams to victory. A quick glance. and one immediately saw our two senior cheerleaders, Ianet Iordan and llelen Briggs. Janet. the attractiyc energetic leader of the group, filled each assembly with pep and enthusiasm. At athletic eycuts Helen, our other senior, hlond hair flying, spurred on the other younger girls. Not only will these two he missed, hut they will he hard to replace. Mary Lou Patellos and Lydia Nagy, who represented the juniors. added their own hrand of yitality. Mary l,ou's high kick and Uliootsy easy manner were indelible trade marks. The sophomores were represented hy Betty Lou Moore and Arlene Trussel. Both had that winsome way peculiar onlv to sophomores. Our freshman cheerleader was ludy Droder. She rounded out this fine team and had the Azipu that was typical of the whole group. These girls Were ahly directed bv Miss Potter, who put them through long hours of practice that made these girls a hit all through the year. Their school spirit neyer lagged, eycn when the score was low. Ability. friendliness, attrac- tiycness. and yersatility added together equaled an outstanding team of cheerleaders for the 1953-1954 season. Briggs.

Snow Quail, On December 22 a host of strange and wonderful creatures found their way to Snowden High School. Reindeer, ice skaters, gypsies, dolls, sunflowers, and skeletons dazzled the eyes and thoughts of the student body that day. Although it wasnlt 3-D, it had all the color and excitement of an evening at Cinerama. Students and faculty alike were thrilled by the performance of these people. The musical, if we may call it that, was entitled the Snow Queenf' and followed the adventures of a lovely girl who loses her lover and goes in search of him. In her wanderings she sees magic flowers dance in a garden, skeletons perform at night, gypsies whirl to exciting music, and stiff-legge-d dolls dance. Under the guidance of Miss Miller the cast worked diligently to perfect the performance. They were so well prepared that a week before the actual performance they were able to give a preview at the P. T. A. meeting. The P. T. A., as well as the faculty and student body, will not soon forget this unusual enter- tainment.
