HIGH SCHOOL, LIBRARY, PA FOOTPRINTS n ON THE SANDS OF TIME Lives of great men all remind us We can make our lives sublime, And, departing, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time. -A Psalm of life, H. W. Longfellow Whose footprints are those below? Yours, perhaps, or mine-some senior's of the Class of 1957. It was early in our history that the best-loved of all the American poets, Henry W. Longfellow, taught us in his oft-quoted poem above that only by climbing can we reach the summit of our hopes, that only by marching straight forward can we succeed in our ambitions, and that only by planting our feet firmly on the shifting sands of time can we make an impression that is enduring. We, the Senior Class, have gathered together here, under the covers of the T957 Aquila, the evidence of our efforts to leave an imprint on Snowden Township High School, an imprint that will, indeed, be lasting. We have recorded for the future years the story of our final year at Snowden. Turn with us, then, the pages of the Aquila, our memory book, and live again those precious moments of our final year. See the footprints we have left. Follow us up and down the sands of time and note that we have given those who remain cause to remember us. In this remembrance we shall be happy. 4 CCDME WITH US THROUGH OUR SENICJR YEAR AT SNOWDEN Ad 7 CI 13 A 31 S 45 Ad 56 GQ QD Q QQ QQ WE DEDICATE OUR MEMORY BOOK In recognition of his efforts to make our school life a fruitful one, we dedicate the 1957 Aquila to Mr. Frank Markley, Mr. Markley has taught at Snowden for the past fifteen years. In that time he has endeared himself to the students because of his superabundance of good humor, his consistent friendliness, and his ever-present smile. Varied, indeed, have been his teaching assignments. For some years, because of his background in sports, he was part of the coaching staff as well as a history teacher. His ability to infuse life into the subiects of history and government has earned him the everlasting gratitude of those who found these subjects difficult and dull. His development of the guidance program has enabled the seniors to prepare more adequately for the jobs ahead or to find more easily the colleges they wished to attend. This year he was responsible for securing a chapter of the Na- tional Honor Society for Snowden. Thank you, Mr. Markley, for all you have done to enrich our lives. 6 Mr. Frank Markley B.S., M.S., Duquesne University Teacher of the Social Studies Senior Class Sponsor v ' Facuhy OUR ADMINISTRATORS PROVIDED US Mr Samuel J. Engott Mr. John Broglie Vice-president President Mr. Frank Reich Mr. John J Bruce Solicitor Tax Collector THE BOARD OF EDUCATION The Board of Education made all the friends of Snowden Township High School happy this year by making plans for the building of a new iunior-senior high school during the next two years. Located on Ridge Road overlooking South Park, the new build- ing, which will accommodate 750 pupils, will have thirty classrooms, a large gymnasium, a cafeteria, and a spacious auditorium. Two changes were made during the year with regard to Board personnel. Mr. Edward Opferman was appointed a Board member to succeed Mr. Walter Dalrymple, who resigned because of ill health. Mrs. Helen Dolti was appointed to act as secretary to the Board as of March 'l, l957.

His duties are to carry out the instructions of the School Board, to super- vise the school system, to pre- pare the school budget, to as- sist the teachers, and to advise the students. .J 5, s 'WM WE WELCOMED A NEW SUPERVISOR FOR THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS 9 Mr. Frank Lash ioined our school family this year. His position as supervisor of the three elementary schools - Broughton, South Park, and Ste- wart - is a newly created one.

N M-M? WE WERE THESPIANS IN DECEMBER Just Off Broadway, a three-act comedy by Don Douglas, was presented in the audi- torium by the Class of T957 on December T2 and T3 under the direction of Miss Miller. The plot dealt with a group of young men and women who hoped to be Broadway stars. They lived in the boarding house of Lulu Haddock, an ex-glamor girl. There, too, George McArthur, Jack Zupancic, and Ross Gadd played a vital part in the success of the play by setting up scenery, providing sound effects, and operating curtains and lights. lived old Mr. Baxter, who hated germs and secretly practiced the old game of counter- feiting. On his trail came Tony Jones, a T- Man, who also courted Carol Haddock. Tony's arrival brought the plot to its hilarious climax and then to a happy ending for all the stars and starlets. Amelia Milavec transforms Bob Zenkevich into a Broadway star-to-be, while Shirley Butelli applies effective eye make-up to Caryl Ann Gatalsky, who played the part of a television actress. nf- ...vs The student director, Libby Jones, here is coach- ing Diane Ali and Robert Gallegor on the fine points of dramatic love-making. Diane coldly resists Bob, who is trying to convince her that he really is the fictitious Tony Jones. Donna Verno, prompter, provides a forgotten line to keep the practice running smoothly. Judy Droder, playing a very dumb blonde, and Bob Zenkevich, trying desperately to make a hit on Broadway, smile encouragingly as Charles Wrana tries iust one more time to do that egg trick. Gloria Worman, his fiancee, knows he will never be a successful magician, nevertheless, she gives him her support. Harry Criss, playing an elderly gentleman con- stantly an guard against disease, here talks with the girls, Caryl Ann Gatalsky and Carol Johns. ton. Caryl Ann, a dialect comedian, feels she will never reach stardom. A veteran star of past years, Carol Johnston encourages her household of would-be stars. Marian Openshaw, promp- ter, feeds lines. The business manager of the class play, Alice Langhurst, and the senior girls who acted as usheretfes here await the arrival of the parents and friends of the seniors to the night perform- ance on December 13.

FEBRUARY'S HlGHl.lGHT WE ELECTED ouiz KING AND QUEEN The climax ofthe Hearts Ball on Friday, Feb- ruary T5, was the announcement of the results of the school's vote on who should be crowned king and queen on May Day and who should serve as court attendants. Before the dance the entire school had cast a plurality vote on each of two lists, the first containing the names of all the senior girls as nominees for queen, the sec- ond, the names of all senior boys for king. The winner of the girls' list became queen, the boys' list, king. The two runners-up on each list be- came the senior court attendants. Each class also chose two girls to serve in this capacity. They are not permitted to serve again until their senior year. For the past seven years Snowden has been celebrating May Day by the presentation of an original physical education program produced by Miss Emily Miller. A narrator presents the theme while dancers interpret it. This year's theme was Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. The crowning of the new king and queen by King Paul Gray and Queen Ardath Neish of last year's production was the highlight of the event. This year's court consisted of King Walter Keller, Queen Libby Jones and the following at- tendants: Carol Johnston, Alice Langhurst, Harry Criss, Charles Wrana, seniors, Janis Broglie, Judy Klotz, juniors, Carol Topelski, Diana Verna, soph- omores, Maureen Barati, Toni Sakely, freshmen, Nancy Guthrie, Sandra Waggett, eighth-grade.

Although the Eagles did not win the cham- pionship this year, they played with such cour- age, stamina, and pep that they were in the sport spotlight for the entire season. Their record of five victories, two ties, and one defeat was achieved in spite of a string of iniuries to key players. Coaches Nedwidek and Bauer succeeded in molding the holdovers from last year's cham- pions into a fighting unit that did not go into high gear, however, until after its initial and only defeat of the season at Monongahela, Then the Eagles plowed through their next two opponents, Bellevue and Pitcairn, like a bull- dozer. Perryopolis was a rugged foe that was beaten only in the last two minutes of play by a heave from Austin to Wrana. The tie with South Fayette not only dimmed championship hopes but also resulted in injuries to stellar performers. Although not a league game, the fracas with Bethel is a highpoint of each season. Snowden outplayed its rival, but challcecl up only a tie. The Eagles polished off their season with a romp over Cecil. 3. i BUT DlDN'T TCP THE HIGHEST PEAK E 4,24 9 Stewart J Austin, R. Gadd, J.

Head Coach Nedwidek trightl and Assistant Coach Bauer lleftl have been consistently successful in turning out good teams at Snowden. Mr. Nedwidek came here in 1950 from Brookville, where he coached football, basketball, and baseball teams. He was in military service in 1951, then he returned to resume his work here in 1952. Mr. Bauer served as athletic director at the Pennsylvania Train- ing School at Morganza for two years. He also coached the basketball team there. In 1951 he came to Snowden, where he was appointed assistant coach in football and head coach of the basketball team. SEASON RECORD .S. . . 0 .. .Monongahela .S. 35 ... Bellevue .S. . . 34 ..

This forward wall of giants-Ted Glasser, Jim Bott, and Ross Gadd-averaged 205 pounds. Glasser, playing his first year, warded oft blockers with an iron hand. Bolt, at right tackle, played bruising ball for the Eagles for two years. Gadd, the left tackle and middle guard, was so good that he made the W.P.l.A.L. B team.

The first team, piling up a 27-O lead at half-time, gave Coach Neclwidek the advantage he needed to give his sub- stitutes the experience they required. 48 SENIOR These three musketeers are Walt Keller, Whitey Criss, and Rich Pro. Though not a starter, Keller played with ease and con- fidence. Criss, who powers his way for every inch, made the W.P.l.A.L. B Team last season, this year it was a mere for- mality. Pro, elusive and speedy, swept the ends, slanted oft tackle, and zipped through openings. Rugged and fast were the ends of our for- ward wall, Chuck Wrana and Louie Bott. BoFf's down-field blocking was certain to spring loose any ball carrier who suc- ceeded in penetrating the secondary. Wrana's catch of a pass for the winning touchdown in the dying moments of the Perryopolis game will long be remem- bered at Snowden. EAGLES Two key players for the Eagles were Jack Hurst and George McArthur. Though hampered by iniuries most of the season, Hurst was an able defensive captain, showing exceptional iudgment in crack- ing the opponents' offense. McArthur was a capable boss on the field. His call- ing of deceptive plays at the right time added an extra punch to Snowden's T- formation. Speed and fight marked the play of Red Shandor and Will Stewart. Though light, Red was pound-for-pound the toughest tackler on the team, a standout as de- fensive end and linebacker. Stewart, playing his first year at football, tried out for end, but proved more suitable as a defensive halfback and starred at in- tercepting enemy aerials. Alternating at guard and tackle, Alvin Ross pulled expertly down the line to cut loose a sweeping halfback. Because of size and speed, he was most eHective on defense. John Baumann, pile-driving linebacker, was handicapped by injuries to arm and shoulder, but couIdn't be counted out. He made up lost time by harder and more aggressive play. Although the second half of the Cecil game opened with many underclassmen in the lineup, Snowden's successful drive continued. Whitey Criss sparked many of the Eagles' gains. To the left CNO. 573 he is making a nine-yard advance. George McArthur CNo. 607 is shown in the process of cutting down an opposing player.

President Libby Jones, who designed it, is pinning this new insignia on Barbara Trax, vice-presdent, while Anita Rich, secretary, and Carol Johnston, treasurer, look on.
