To reach this point, twelve years ago this group of young energetic Americans started on a quest. They didn't realize it then, but they were actually setting forth on a quest, THE QUEST FOR KNOVVLEDGE. Since then they have studied new and interest- ing subjects, learned numerous facts, partici- pated in various sports, held worthwhile activi- ties, had many good times, and suffered a few heartaches. From each experience they have gained something which has added to their store of knowledge. Through the years they have continued their quest, always striving for that far off, majestic summit, KNOWLEDGE. The arduous journey has now ended and that group of Seniors stands upon that uppermost pinnacle looking toward new fields for the fu- ture. They have completed their quest ,....

Dedication With the deepest pride, we, the Seniors of 1956, dedicate this yearbook to you, Mr. NED- VVIDEK. We dedicate this book to you in a humble effort to re- pay you for the many things which you have done for us. You were always helpful to the students and always ready to l explain something we did not understand or to straighten out some problem that might arise. We appreciate the advice you gave to so many of us when we needed it and we will never forget your wise decisions. Your classes were always interesting and informative and you never despaired in your task of teaching health and history to students who were sometimes unresponsive. Your casualness and calm- ness is a trait to be admired and copied by those of us who so often became excited and lost our tempers over silly things. Along with all of these other things, Mr. NEDWIDEK, you have done what no other teacher at Snowden has ever done. You have coached our football team to the WPIAL Class B Championship. For this victory we thank you and we thank you for being the fine person you are. You are a great inspiration to all of us, Mr. NEDWIDEK, and we wish to thank you by dedi- cating this yearbook to you and saying that we will never forget you and all the things you have done for all of us here at Snowden. 5 Ahna Mater her we eherish Dear Snowden High May all evil gainst her perish Dear Snowden High VVe recall the spirit caught there Pxev'rent niind that lived and rought there Menfries of our Alma Mater Dear Snowdon High Alma Mater II.

WVith his knowledge, wisdom, and great love for Snowden, he has made our days at Snowden happy days, which we shall remember for many years to come. WVe shall miss his impressive lectures, informative assemblies, and understanding guid- ance which has helped to make our past twelve years at Snowden unforgettable ones. We thank him for the indispensable help which he has given us in our studies, organiza- tions, and extra-curricular activities during our years at Snowden. We know that Mr. Weaver has always had the interest of the students at heart. His every effort has been toward making us better citizens and to prepare us to cope with the world into which we are about to enter. We thank him greatly for the patience he has shown in trying to teach us to do right. We shall never forget the guidance and help he has given us. Mr. Martin E. YVeaver, Supervision lrin- eipal of Snowden Township Schools, at work in his office. J Mrs. Helen Dolfi, Mr. VVeax'er's secre- tary, is always very busy, but she still finds time to be friendly and helpful to all of the students. She has given many of the Sen- iors help and advice and we will remember her because she was always there when we needed guidance. ff 8 Board of Education The Board of Education consists of several men of fine character who work very closely with Mr. Martin E. NVeave1', supervising principal. They have 21 great responsibility toward building and guiding our schools and the children in tlieni. Their constructive planning has prepared us for the future and for a happy and successful life. These men are doing their utmost to direct and supervise our excellent school system. Both the community and the students recognize the outstanding school system We have because of their great efforts. To these men we owe our sincerest thanks and gratitude.

Many of the girls joined the CAA., and the boys began to take part in sports. The Y-Teen freshman party welcomed us into the school. During our Sophomore year, we real- ly got into the swing of things. Many students joined the Y-Teens or Hi-Y and managed to survive the initiations. Our class held victory dances for the team and school. Our junior year was full of excite- ment. Receiving our class rings was a memorable experience. All of the class worked long and hard to produce our play, c'Leave It To Usi' and were reward- ed with an outstanding production. The junior-Senior Prom found the students dancing to the music of Lee Kelton and his orchestra in an atmosphere of The Old Southf' The Senior year was full of activity and we found ourselves in a constant rush. Senior pictures were taken and name cards ordered. The sale of Christ- mas cards proved to be a huge success With the help of the whole class the class play, 'cMumbo-Iumbof' turned out Wonderfully. Working on the Aquila was a most enjoyable experience for us. But all too soon the year came to an end, and we were no longer students of Snow- den, but alumni.

A yearbook is the biggest project a class ever undertakes. Publishing a yearbook is really a business transaction and in business there can be no mistakes. VVorking all summer, the Aquila editors laid the plans for the book and when the school term began, they chose their staff, and really went to Work. From the very beginning the editors and Mr. Baur, the Advisor, were aiming for a Championship yearbook. They struggled, worried, planned, and pushed them- selves to the full measure to produce the best yearbook possible, but through it all they loved every minute of it and would not have had it any different. This hook was the editoras brainchild and they saw it through from the iirst 'vague ideas to the thrilling moment it was delivered. The editors only Wish to say that they did their best and hope that they have achieved their goal. EDITORS Seated-ll. Scott, Editor-in-Chief Standing-K. Chcplic, I. Harrold ll.

This all-girl organization is under the fine direction and leadership of Miss Emily C. Miller. This year the G. A. A. has brought about many new firsts for its club. The girls held their initiation of new members in the evening in the school auditorium. At the invitation of the club thirteen girls joined the ranks of the G. A. A. Another Hrst for the club was drawing up and adopting a constitution. In this constitu- tion are all the objectives and standards that the club shall try to attain. This year the girls decided to buy lapel-pin emblems. The pins are to be in the shape of a torch. Something new for the school was added when the girls sponsored the sale of several hot lunches to the student body. These proved to be Very successful, and the students enjoyed the good food prepared by the G. A. A. Due to the Football Banquet held earlier in the year, the annual Athletic Banquet which the C. A. A. sponsors was not held. A separate ban- quet was held at the end of the year for the basketball team. The Girls Athletic Association has done a fine job this year, and it will continue its splendid record in the future. . Broglic, and old C. A. A. member, puts P.

Initiation of new memhcrs the girls who Wishcd to join, as Sheila Rinnc in the picture at tho right, had to wear outlandish costumes to school. Audrey Vfeyers wus also one of the girls who joined the G. A. A. this year, and sho thinks the ini- tiation stunts were wcll worth it now that she is a nielnhcr. QQ OFFICERS Seated-I.

Eff The Biology Club is an enterprising organization that is composed of two Biology classes. Each class chooses its own officers, pays monthly dues, and se- lects its club name. A small amount of their dues is spent for educa- tional movies and the remainder for a picnic at the end of the school year. The purpose of the club is to further and advance knowledge in the field of biology. Each class works together to achieve this endeavor. They are spon- sored by a capable science teacher, Mr. William Cher- ncy, and with his guidance, reaching their goal is in- evitable. Educational trips to Pittsburgh are looked forward to by all the members. Some of the more important points of interest they visit are the beautiful Heinz Chapel, Carnegie Museum, the University of Pitts- burgh, Phipps Conservatory and the Highland Park Zoo.

Other purposes of the Hi-Y are to pro- mote clean speech, clean living, and good sports- manship. Opening the activities this year as well as in previous years was the initiation of new mem- bers. Following the initiation was the annual Sadie Hawkins, Day Dance which took place on November 18. All who attended this affair had fun and prizes were given to the best Daisy Mae and Little Abner. The annual party for the orphans of two local orphanage-s was held with the help of the Y-Teens and the Key Club.

Artnalq In May of 1955, the last full month of the 1954- 55 school year, the Kiwanis Club of Snowdcn Township founded the Key Club in Snowden Township High School. The Key Club is an international organiza- tion, founded in May, 1925, by the Sacramento, California Kiwanis Club to provide vocational guidance progranis in high schools and to give high school boys a chance to be members of a service, rather than a fraternal organization. Since then, the Key Club has expanded its horizons. The Key Club of Snowdcn Township High School, for instance, carried out many worthwhile projects. The building of a control panel for stage lighting, assistance to underpriv- ileged children and trophies for school athletic events are typical projects. In the fund-raising vein, the Key Club car- ried on a cooking school, sold souvenirs at the Kiwanis All-VVestern Horse Show, and carried on a car wash service. The Key Club intends to try to carry on school and community service projects. They are very grateful to the school administration, thc local Kiwanis Club, and their advisor, Mr. Xlurray. For their co-operation and assistance. On May 4, 1955, the Snowden Twp. Key Club was presented its charter which made it a full-fledged member of Key Club International. At right is a pic- ture of Key Club President joel Rinnc receiving the charter from Art Blvthe. Kiwanis President. Jack Hurst, Secretary of the Key Club, receives the flags of Canada and the United States which all Kiwanis and Key Clubs have because they are internation- al organization. The Hags are being presented by Kiwanis Secretary Don Wright. , KEY CLUB CHARTER NIGHT Seated-E. Zupancic, G. Crown- over, H. Criss, Mr. Murray, J Hurst, R. Scott, j. Rinne. Standing-R.

Canteen rrol.l, Tre-:s.g I. Errington, Sec., One of the many extra-curricular activities at Snowden is the Canteen Dances. These dances, held in the auditorium, are enjoyed by a great many of the students. All of the latest popular records are played, and Miss Miller and Mr. Cherncy, the canteen sponsors, always see to it that a good time is had by all. At these canteens we have the opportunity of making new friends in our school and neighboring communities. Some special dances that are held in the auditorium include victory dances at noon, Halloween Dances, Sadie Hawkins Day Dances, Y-Tecn Christmas Dances, Valentine Dances, and the CAA. King and Queen Dance. These canteens have done much to promote better social ease and fellow- ship among the students. Y'Ve hope the canteens will continue to be as successful in the future as they have been in the past. WORKERS Record players-R. Scott, K. Scott. Coke sellervj. Crownovcr. Ticket seller-E.

Casf of Character-S It was presented in the high school auditorium on De- cember l4 and 15, 1955. The play was under the excel- lent direction of Miss Emily C. Miller and was enjoyed by all. Mnmbo-jumbo was a gay, modern farce, crammed with action, and loaded with laughs. Two college boys go on a secret mission to their nncle's farm. Their uncle is away so the boys decide to turn the farm into a coun- try hotel. Thcy soon have a honseful of ill-assorted guests. That night one of the guests is slain. So involved does it become, that after a long investigation and a series of hilarious mishaps, they finally solve the crime. The cast enjoyed working toward making the play a hit, and the hard work and efforts of Miss Miller will not be forgotten for years to come. At the end of the play the cast was rewarded with a tremendous round of applause from the audience. After an evening of hard work, the cast went out to celebrate and a good time was had by all.

The plot of the play centered around two young man- agers of a promoting company who found very little to promote. Then one morning an inventor presented his new face cream, another inventor brings in some spot remover, and last a society woman asks to have some beauty promoted for her homely daughter. The society Woman gets the spot remover by mistake and uses it on her daughterls face, but all ends Well when she is beautified by the spot remover. The members of the cast will never forget the long hours and hard work spent at rehearsal after school, nor will they forget after their hard work how everyone would pile in Nlr. Bozicis car for a 'fcrazyn ride home. Under the superb direction of Nlr. XVilliam Al. Bozic the junior Class play was a great success, and after the last performance the cast and members of the junior Class went to Henryis for a party, concluding a job well done. 47 Pkljkllllil party at 3:00 A.

I Truly this was Snowdenis year in Class B grid- iron competition. At long last the Snowden elev- en, under the excellent coaching of Raymond Nedwidek and assistant Raymond Bauer, proved to everyone their fighting ability by rampaging through a rough schedule to become the WPIAL Class B Champions. The season opened with an exhibition game with the Monongahela Wild- cats, a double A school, that proved to be too tough for the Eagles who suffered their first and only defeat of the season, 26-0. A week later the Eagles faced their arch rivals, the Bethel Blackhawks, in another non-league game. Spoil- ing for a battle after their first loss and always ready to tangle with their rival, the Snowden team charged into the fray and edged Bethel 7-6. This win proved to be the spark that lit the fuse and the red hot eleven exploded through the next seven games to victory. Game after game the Eagles improved their playing and showed more aggressiveness toward the champ- ionship. Next meeting Pitcairn, the Eagles tramp- led them 24-0. The Perryopolis game ended 19-0 in favor of Snowden, and a week later Trafford Snowden 0 ...... ........ M on City 26 Snowden 7 ...... ........ B ethel 6 Snowden 24 ...... ........

Rolling over South Fayette, 27-6, the Snowden boys had come quite a long way, but before them was Sharpsburg, possibly their toughest foe all season. VVith an urgent determination to stay in the title race the Eagles charged into the iight and beat Sharps- burg 13-2. Then the Eagles had only to face Cecil in the last game of the regular season, and more determined than ever, they met Cecil and mangled them, 31-7. They had it now. The championship sat be- fore them tantalizingly close. Only Shannock Valley stood in the way and every boy on the Snowden team must have said a prayer and made a silent vow to remove this obstacle. On November 12, the only two teams left in Class B, the Snowden Township Eagles, and the Shannock Valley Spartans, clashed in a do- or-die effort to capture the title. The game was hard fought all the Way with each team using everything in its bag of tricks, but in the end with the score 32-13, Snowden Township had taken the title and had tasted victory at long last.

Criss, iR. Craig. Varsity Basketball The Snowden Basketball team, inspired by the success of the football team, was very eager to match the record set by their gridmen. They fought hard and worked as a team all year and in the end they had had one of their very best seasons. The final total showed that the Snowden Hoormen had a record of seventeen wins and three losses. The Eagles started off the season with three straight wins before losing their first game to the sharpshooting McDonald Hoormen in a non-league con- test. Showing no relish for the taste of defeat the Snowdeners out-played and out-scored the next eleven teams for eleven consecutive victories. Inevitably, the law of averages caught up with the high-flying Eagles and they lost a very hard-fought game to Chartiers. This was their only defeat in league competition and after winning the last three games Snowden found itself in a tie for the Section Championship with Chartiers, each team having lost one league game. On February 24, 1956, the tie was played off on the Dormont High School floor. Both teams were primed and set for a hard game, but there was probably more tension in the Snowden players and rooters because everyone wondered if it could happen again. Could there be two championships in one year at Snowden? It was almost too much to hope for, but at least the Snowden floor- men had come this far and that was a success in itself. During the game the Eagles played hard, but it was not quite enough because the Chartiers team played very well and proved too much for Snowden. At the half, Snowden was trailing by four points, but they moved ahead in the third period by ten points. Chartiers came back in the fourth, though, and at the end of the game the score stood 58 to 58. After a three-minute overtime the boys from Chartiers were on top 65 to 59. The Eagles accepted defeat as the good sports they are, but by no means was this yearis season a poor one. It was the best basketball season Snowden has seen for a long, long time. 54 Hculd Coach lhlymond B2llll'1' SIIUNYKIK SIIUXVIIK S1 I4 rwfh Sm md: Sllcmwclc SIlOXYClC Snmvclm Smm'cl4 Smm mlm Slmwclz Snrmwdm SIIUXVCL SIll7XYdl Slmwdc SIIOXVCIQ Sllowclc Suuwcla Snowcln Smmwdv Snowdm II Il ll Il ll Il Il Il ll ll ll Il ll Il H Il Il Il Il ll 12 57 GT J 2 4 6 60 653 653 57 8,1 62 53 62 66 67 54 62 56 65 51 Scores . li ll Aunmi XIOIIUIIQZIIICIRI l'1llsxx'm'tl1 lillsxwwtlm klt'IJUll1lld Bcllilvyvillv Sll2ll'DSbIl1'Q' Cvcil ..

Due to the early publication of our yearbook, we cannot write the final chapter of success or failure of the Girls Basketball Team which is making every effort to live up to the superb records established by the Boys Football and Bas- ketball Teams. At this writing, they have played four games, winning three and losing one, a hard fought contest to Avella. Their spirit, enthusiasm, and teamwork has been outstanding and we are looking forward to a promising season. Under the able coaching of Miss Miller, the fourteen girls on the squad are showing consistent improvement in running plays, and greater shooting ac- curacy from the Held and foul line. This is the result of long practice hours. High morale and effort, added to Miss Milleris patience and skillful coaching, cannot help but develop a top flight team. This year, the schedule was made up of old traditional rivals and every game played so far has been hard fought and thrilling to watch. We know that this yearis team is going to bring additional honor and prestige to good old Snowden High and we Wish the future teams of Snowdcn the best of luck with their coming games.
