They presented the facts to the School Board members, who decided to give the plan a few months' trial. The Board considered the idea because they were impressed by the fact that it would be a substantial saving of money to the District. After a few months, the School Board was so pleased with its success that they decided to add another year. Snowden Township High has shown a steady increase in enrollment. In the first year of the high school, 1933-1934, the enrollment of 87 was handled by two teachers, Mr. Weaver and Mr. Magill. During that year, however, there was only the Freshman grade, the next year a Sopho- more year was added. The new enrollment showed an increase of 70 students over the pre- vious year. The following year it was found impossible to add another year, therefore the Juniors were compelled to attend another school. Then the Iunior year was added for the term 1936-1937, and the enrollment totaled 211. Through the co-operation of the School Board, the citizens of Snowden Township, and the con- tracting company, the Senior year was estab- lished for the term 1937-1938. ln 1944, Mr. Weaver succeeded Mr. Cutshall as Supervising Principal of the Snowden Township Schools. For the 1946-1947 term, the eighth grades were moved to the high school from Broughton and Stewart as a result of the large enrollment at the grade schools. For the 1953-1954 term, the seventh grade was also moved to the high school, but the completion of four new rooms at Broughton enabled the seventh grades to return to the elementary buildings. Today the high school, consisting of five grades, has a total enrollment of 407 students, a considerable increase over the 87 who began here. 5 , 5? is Q S I x 3, M SE E SSS I O O 7 ' i Dear Seniors, This is your day-your day in which to rejoice and be glad. You have run a good race, you have Hn- ished the preliminary stages of self-development. May your joy be that of a job well done. May you enjoy to the fullest the fruit of satisfaction which oozes from the realization of a task successfully completed. But in a sense, your task in life has just begun. Imagine, if you will, an intricate cosmic jig-saw puzzle made up of all the men and women of your generation, in which you are an important and necessary piece. Do you know exactly how and where you as an individual fit in? Fortunate, indeed, is that senior who knows what he is to do after leaving the hallowed and pro- tective walls of his alma mater. On the other hand, let us suppose for a moment, that you are among the myriad seniors who are graduating from high schools all over the country this spring - graduates who realize the importance of their existence as human beings in modern society but, who are just a bit, if not a great deal, undecided on what parts of the gigantic jig-saw puzzle are to be filled by themselves. I would consider myself remiss in the duties of my office if I did not take time to give a bit of paternal advice to you, my parting seniors, my grown-up citizens. Let's try to figure out the answer to your problem to- gether. The solution to the problem can best be determined, I think, by the good old question and answer method. Since you are the piece to be placed in the cosmic jig- saw puzzle, let us begin by asking this question? What are you? VVell, you are a human being. Where did the first human being come from? He was created by God. Why did God create you? Well, since our intellect does not permit us to will something that does not add to our happiness, I think it's safe to say that God created us for His own and our own happiness. How can we fulfill His purpose in creating us? We can fulfill the purpose of our existence by doing God's will. How can we do Cod's will? We can do God,s will by doing the task that confronts us from day to day in the best way possible, by being true to yourselves, your fellow men, your country, your God. Now you have one answer that will help you find your place in the cosmic puzzle. But you might say, What are the tasks that will confront me as an in- dividual - an important individual- as you sayf' That's a good question-a question which you will answer by the choices you make in life. The task you choose may be in the field of government or shoe-repairing, medicine or banking, communications or automobile body and fender work, labor-union leadership, or busi- ness management, education or fruit huckstering, the military or marriage and family life. Whatever vocation you choose as your piece in the cosmic jig-saw puzzle, carry your own load of the work and responsibilities, fulfill the duties of your task, don't sacrifice principle for the sake of expedience or personal, ephemeral gains. If you have been in the habit of letting George do it in your school activities, BEWAREl you are off to a bad start. Break this habit now! If on the other hand you have fulfilled all of your school duties to the best of your ability, you are on the right track. Stay there! In our Great Democracy, thanks be to God and our logical thinking forefathers and precursors who drew up the constitution of the United States of America, YOU ALL HAVE EQUAL OPPORTUNITY-Oppon tunity which is limited, and shackled and hampered only by yourself. Most of us are average people with average talents and average abilities. Bear in mind that it's really the average man and woman who makes the world go round,', so to speak. How effective and influential a part you will fill in the world,s giant jig- saw puzzle will depend upon your own use of your talents, your individual initiative, your perserverance in the fulfillment of your daily tasks and how true you will be to yourself, your neighbor, your country and your God. Sincerely, MARTIN E. WEAVER Supervising Principal Mr. Martin E. Weaver, Miss Helen M. Susko, Secretary Supervising Principal jrhoolbnafwl Mr. Samuel Engott Mr. Clifford Handel Mr. Michael C. Panaride Vice-President President S ecretary Mr Albert Roadway Mr. Frank Reich Mr. john Bruce Mr. Walter Dalrymple Solicitor Tax Collector Once a month the school board members meet in the high school. All the citizens of Snowden Township are invited to attend these meetings. The Board, composed of Mr. Handel, President, Mr. Engott, Vice-President, Mr. Panaride, Secretaryg Mr. Roadway, and Mr. Dalrymple, makes all the important de- cisions concerning the Snowden Township Schools. Some of these decisions are the acquiring and releasing of teachers and the custodial staff, raising and lowering salaries, approving all our many activities, and making out the budget and dividing all the funds so that we receive the best benefit from them. We all are indeed grateful to these five men for making our school sys- tem what it is today. 9 Raymond Nedwidek University of Pittsburgh Slippery Rock, Bachelor of Science Masters Degree Physical Education, Health, Social Studies Frank Markley Duquesne University Bachelor ot Science, Master's Degree Physical Education, Health, Social Studies Emily C.

Uma Ugfic-mm, flazm, Zlflaimq, As We look back at the past years spent at S.T.H.S., many fond memories are recollected. Of course, that long road Was a bit rocky in places, but there Were more than enough good times to cover any of the sad spots. Let's take a peek behind the scenes, shall We! How can We forget all the fun and new ex- periences that We had in the eighth grade! Miss Phillips and Mrs. Ramaley started us off on the right foot toward becoming good citizens. It Was during this year that We got acquainted with Snowden. We admired and looked up to the Seniors. They represented a goal-a goal that We hoped We could someday reach. Believe it or not, we finally did. We found out that We were included as a part of this marvelous life- that we really belonged. It was truly a Wonder- ful feeling. F reshies! Gee, now we Were really in. The girls Were thrilled, because now they could join their first organization-the G.A.A. Three Whole days of initiation-they really poured it on that year, but We didnit mind. Other things were happening, too. There Were the different com- mittees that our class organized-the hall duty committee, wash-room committee, and quite a few others. We felt that We should do something for the place that was doing so much for us. Sophomores! Our third year in the high school found us quite grown-up and mature. We were no longer green,', but full-fledged members of Snovvden High. The boys got their opportunity this year by joining the Hi-Y, and the girls came through again with the Y-Teens. We had another first, this year-We sold pop- corn, coffee, and cold drinks at the home football games for the first time in the history of Snow- den, and We have been doing so ever since. Juniors! Oh, we were finally getting up there. We were enraptured by the splendor of our class rings. For days We Walked around our Alma Materv holding our hands out in front of every- one. Although we didn't have a class play, We made up for it by having one of the most beau- tiful proms ever to be held at Snovvden High. Our theme was Treasure Island and Russ Romerois dreamy music seemed to cast an en- chanted spell over all Who were present. Seniors! At last our goal was reached. This was the year of all years. The first item on the busy agenda Was the distribution of name cards. ln October We had our Senior pictures taken. We held a very successful skating party, and put on the first Thanksgiving skit ever to be presented at Snowden. 'December proved quite fruitful, as this was the month the Seniors put on their class play, Betty's Millionairev, which was truly delightful. All year long we were slaving on the yearbook, and our Work did pay off. We sincere- ly Wish that all the future Seniors can have as much fun and enjoyment as We did. .Samba Ash, Vernon Eugene Vern The first name on our every class list, but he was always last to get to class . . . seen roller skating at Charleroi . . . he would love school if one incidental were eliminated - teachers.

They all worked very hard to make their class a success and a fine example for the under- classmen to follow. The Juniors were all very excited about the measuring of their fingers for their class rings, which they received in December. When they finally received their rings, everyone knew about it by the buzzing in the halls and the familiar words, Look at my ringv. r Always lending their constant and wholehearted support to the extra- curricular activities here at Snowden, they showed fine leadership and other admirable traits that made them a truly appreciated class. We, the Seniors of Snowden Township High School, are proud of the class that is to take our place as leaders of the school and set the example for the underclassmen. gm oggaw, President ........ ...,... ....

Their directness and simplicity Won new friends faster and kept them longer. They were loyal and sincere, and had a strong sense of responsibility with an outstanding Willingness to help others. They were a determined, level-headed group of students who were anxious to carry out and make each class project a huge success. Each student Worked in fellowship with the others. By good examples, every student and teacher respected and admired them. In return they showed consideration and respect to their teachers and classmates. Theyive made swell sophomores and in their humbleness, weire sure they will stay as friendly and co-operative as they are now. W.-- 3 The Freshmen took the hustle and bustle of high school life in their stride by forming the habit of rushing from class to class with the change of periods, They began to use their home rooms only to eat in and as a place to keep their books. They also became much better ac- quainted with the other teachers in the building Whom they had not come in contact with While Top Row -- I. Atki.ns P. Watterson, M. Chep- lic, D. Emph, D.

They seemed well accustomed to Olll' routine methods after spending a year of foreign faces and meaningless class bells here last year, While in seventh grade. They have mingled Well With the upperclassmen, who gladly accepted them. They are very respectful to teachers and upperclassmen, eager to learn and anxious to help Work for the good of the school. Everyone has a good Word to say for our eighth graders. They set excellent examples as American students. They are a credit and a joy to Snowden High School. They enjoy a lot of gay and riotous times like most students, and the school really gets a charge out of their amusing gestures and comments. They are Willing and certainly capable of taking over the responsibilities their class inherits under the leadership of their officers and sponsors. 3 5 5 Y I s R 2 S is Q X J 4, SE 5 ? as 2 42 x 2 3 1 o oo 29 Standing-Mr. W.

The Aquila staff of 1955 Was composed of seniors, all striving for the same goal- to publish the best school annual that Snovvden has ever had. Wliile glancing over the pages you will agree that these people have reached their goal. Hard Work, Worry, tears, and laughter helped to com- pose the Aquila this year. This yearbook was the biggest project ever undertaken by the sen- ior class. We are all quite proud of it, and in the years to come we will have this bit of the pastv to help us remember all the activities and accom- plishments of our high school days. Top Row-R. Klein, R.

On December 10 they sponsored the Snowball jwm Frolic, our annual Christmas dance. Also at Christmas time, the Y-Teens, together with the Hi-Y organization, held a joyous Christmas Party for a group of orphans. In April, the traditional G'Mother,s Teal' was held.

A. once again sponsored the May Day Program and the Youth on Parade Program, both of which were as big a success as they usually are. These projects have become traditional since the club has been organized. The girls, basketball varsity Was also sponsored by the G. A. A. The Athletic Banquet, another yearly feature of the club, was extremely successful. We hope that this club will continue to be as successful in the future as it has been in the past, because the fine traits taught by this organization have contributed greatly to the fine character of many former Snovvden girls.

Criss Hardball The 1954-55 football season was hardly successful in the win and loss column, but it was highly successful in priceless lessons of life. Throughout the season the boys were determined in their efforts but lacking in combined team output. Time and time again a break or a touchdown could have meant victory. In the first game the Snowden Eagles met a powerful Mon City team. A long pass took the heart away from the Snowden players. They recu- perated a little when they played Perry and won, but they didn,t keep their spirits for long. After Perry the next game they won was the last one, which at least made a happy closing. All in all the season ended with three wins and five losses, two tired coaches, eight worn-out seniors, a few aching bones, and a lot of tired muscles. imma, Snowden 0 ...... ..,...

For one year the Snowden Five finally put a scare into the teams of Section 14 by stacking up Eve and Five in the league running, and an over-all record of ten wins and seven losses. This team has shown to be one of the most successful teams for the last four or five years, and has compiled higher scores and won more games than all the rest put together. The loss of team members this year total up to four alternating Hrst string men who are Tom Williamson George Spencer, Bob Nagle and Bob Marting and two highly important reserves, Joe Markiewicz and Robert Williamson. With the patience and help of our two coaches, Mr. Raymond Bauer and Mr. Raymond Nedwidek, the boys worked and practiced every night hoping to build a championship team. Although not quite succeeding in their goal of a championship team, they put forth the best effort they had. The next years to come, are sure to show greater accomplishments if the boys have the same fight and will to win as the boys had this year. imma, East McKe-esport 46 Snowden 48 Peters EuSW01'th 45 Snowden 53 Bridgeville Shafpsbufg 49 Snowclen 66 Cecil Ellsworth 58 Snowclen 75 Chartiers Sharpsburg 55 Snowden 59 East McKeesport Cecil 50 Chartiers 57 Snowden 45 South Fayette Alumni 45 Snowden 40 Bridgeville South Fayette 40 Snowden 47 Peters 42 57 74 54 49 51 37 61 52. Chun Mary Lou Patcllos Co Team Go . . . This was the rousing cheer heard at all of our pep meetings, basketball games, and football games. Our seven capable cheerleaders, clad in blue and white skirts with turtleneck sweaters, were always seen cheering vigorously along with the student body. The Senior cheerleaders this year were pep- pyv Mary Lou Patellos - a veteran of four years - and 'cpetitep' Marilyn Hughes - who really puts her heart into her cheering. Next, our two juniors, alivelyv Arleen Trussel and usmilingv Betty Lou Moore, who were continuously on the job cheering the team on. Our two sophomores, I Marilyn Hughes Carol Johnston and Libby Jones, really showed school spirit as they sang along with the others. Last, but not least, is our freshman cheerleader, Anita Rich, who was certainly just as peppy and energetic as the rest of the girls. A newcomer to our cheering section was K'Lady Lucky, a beauti- ful white collie dog, who served as mascot for the team. We all owe a cheer to our fine cheerleaders for the wonderful job they have done in raising the morale of the team and adding so much to the spirit of Snowden Township High School pupils.

From the eight games played only three were victories. The girls had their hearts in playing basketball and, even though most of the games ended in defeat, the girls Were good losers. Thanks to their coach, Miss Emily C. Miller, the girls didnlt give up. The team Will lose live of its players this year, three of Whom were on varsity for two years. Barbara Craft and Nancy Sevvchok were experienced guards, and Rosalie Ritonia the forward. Marie Moore and Dolores Ferry played only one year, but added much to the morale and spirit of the team.
