The West Mifflin Area School Board, headed by Glenn Steimer, president, directs the affairs of the schools in our district. Each member is elected by the people of West Mifflin and Whitaker for a six year term for which there is no remuneration. The Board meets regularly on the first Monday of each month and also whenever a meeting is thought to be neces- sary. These meetings may be attended by any inter- ested member of the community. The important responsibilities of the Board include policy making, selection of administrators, and ap- proval of teacher appointments, sanctioning of the budget, selection of new school sites and the handling of all details concerning planning and construction of new buildings in the school district. The nine member Board serve the West Mifflin Area and as agents of the state of Pennsylvania are em- powered to maintain a high quality of education. Superintendents Extend Greetings to Graduates. Q, DR. THOMAS J. KELLY, Superintendent To The Class of T967 Congratulations and best wishes to each of you. Personally, l hope that you sincerely appre- ciate all that your parents have sacrificed for you, what your teachers have accomplished, and also the financial investment that local tax- payers have contributed in supporting our total educational program. Where are you going and what will you do now are two questions that you must answer. Throughout the world the U.S. is recognized as the land of opportunity. lt is your duty to make use of our many freedoms and opportunities. Regardless of your plans, be loyal, industrious, cooperative, persevering, honest, and enthusi- astic, and you, too, can earn a worthwhile place in that future you have been dreaming about and formulating. Decide on your goal in life, have courage to adjust yourself to all difficult circumstances of life, have faith that life has meaning and purpose and direction, and try to have imagination, for it is truly the finest flower of education. Your attitude will decide your ulti- mate success. The future is yours. Dr. Michael Radvansky To All l967 Graduates: You have passed a milestone in your life, high school graduation. Now life commences, in the field of work, or in further education. We hope that the school district has been able to provide you with the tools necessary to become a good citizen. This is one of our goals. Now is the time for you to set your goals. What do I want to be doing in ten years? Start planning and doing now! Dr. Thomas J. Kelly DR. MICHAEL RADVANSKY, Asst Superintendent I5 Mr. Helterbran Is Welcomed at South. 'QP ff MR. RAYMOND HELTERBRAN Although this is my first year at South High School, I feel the student body, the faculty, and the people of the community have made me feel very welcome. As your High School principal, I am deeply con- cerned with the type of education offered you here and can honestly say that at South we offer the best type of instruction necessary for your fullest devel- opment - mentally, morally, physically, and social- ly. To achieve this we must strive to secure cmd main- tain competent teachers, revise and enrich curricular and extra-curricular activities, cultivate harmonious school-home relationships and facilitate pupils' ad- iustment through our guidance services. To the underclassmen go my best wishes for their future years at South and to the Seniors, the Class of l967, my sincerest congratulations and hope that you will attain success in your chosen field of en- deavor. Raymond Helterbran This year there were important changes in the administration of West Mifflin South High School. When Dr. Michael Radvansky was appointed assistant superintendent of West Mifflin Area Schools, the South High School faculty and student body waited for the appointment of a new principal. Mr. Raymond Helterbran is that man. Mr. Helterbran came to South from Fayette City in August l966. Prior to his po- sition as principal of West Mifflin South High, he served as principal of McClure Junior High School located in McKeesport. Other teaching positions include three years at Marion Junior-Senior High, three years at Bellmar Senior High, and eight years at California Senior High School. His specialty is math. On the lighter side, he enioys athletics very much. While at Marion High School and California High School, he served as football coach. While this was his major sport, he enioys and backs all of the oth- ers. Mr. Helterbran works at his desk. s l Students Are Offered a ,Variety of Services. MR. DARRELL HESS MISS FRANCES RANALLO MISS BARBARA DUDA MRS. SARAH REED , Top Picture: Miss Duda writes her daily report. Bottom picture: Mr. Hess discusses the future with a student seeking advice. Guidance The primary product of West Mifflin South is not the A student, but the well-rounded individual. Under the capable leadership of Darrell Hess and Frances Ranallo, South's guidance department at- tempts to develop mature adults, physically, mental- ly and socially prepared to cope with the problems of the future. The guidance office doors are always open for students who seek the comfort and advice of qualified adults. Here they can discuss the voca- tional opportunities available for them after gradua- tion. Whether bound for college, technical or busi- ness school, each student's abilities are recognized and he is then directed in the path best suited to him. Library Learning by personal investigation has proved to be equal, and sometimes superior to getting an edu- cation in the classroom. South's library stimulates the individual to broaden his mind by providing an ample supply of books, thus allowing the student to explore the topics which interest him most. The scope of information available varies from science and math, to languages and philosophy. Mrs. Reed, our able librarian, is eager to help any student find the information which he is seeking, or to recommend a good book for pure enjoyment. Health South 'High's Health room is a place of constant activity with Miss Barbara Duda, the school nurse, ready to administer first aid to ailing students. Eye tests and physical examinations are also given to stu- dents to safeguard their health. Every precaution to halt illness before it starts is utilized here at South. I7 English Dept. Stresses Reading and Research. MR. JOHN FORSYTH MRS. JOAN P. KACIK An education in English is the important building block tor all the other subiects taken in school. Capitalizing on its excellent texts and capable teachers, South High offers a wide vari- ety ot English and English related courses. Basic English, word study, theme writing, and speech are very capably taught by Mr. Forsyth, Mr. Mintz, Mr. Bahler, Miss Newman, Miss Stanton and Mrs. Kacik. ln addition, students who partic- ipate in the Pre-A.P. and A.P. courses are given an opportunity to obtain college credits. The English department works hard to develop cult- ured, well versed English students here at South. MR. LEO MINTZ MISS CAROL STANTON MISS HARRIET NEWMAN ug- .d 'Q- Miss Newman checks homework assignments in one ot her tenth grade English classes. Language Study Opens Doors To Job Opportunities K fi MR. EDWARD BAHLER MRS. Loxl CARTER M'55 DOR'5 FLEMING MR- GEORGE G55 'fu .eg Mr. Gels observes French students working in the language laboratory. West Mifflin South's language de- partment may hold the key to a promis- ing future for many of South's students. Our language teachers are Mr. Geis, French, Miss Fleming, German, Mr. Bahler, Latin, and Mrs. Carter, Spanish. They prepare their students for posi- tions in the United Nation as interpret- ers and in business as language secreta- ries. The courses educate the student in the history, customs, policies, dress, and geography of the peoples and land of that particular language. This knowl- edge benefits its owner every day of his life, for there is a wide field open to those who have mastered a foreign tongue. A bright future is ahead of South's language students who use this talent wisely and to its fullest extent. Math Program Keeps Pace With Modern World. MRS. FRANCES BAILEY MR. NICHOLAS GE NTILE In today's fast-paced world the demand tor quick thinking individuals is great. The person who can understand statistics, think ahstractly, and make quick computations is much sought after. , Through such courses as Algebra I and Il, Geometry, Trigo- nometry, and Math V, our math department tries to produce this type of person. The teachers, Mrs. Bailey, Mr. Gentile, Miss Getsy, and Mr. Sorg, impress upon the students the value ot a good foundation in math, and teach them the basic tun- damentals needed tor an occupation, or just for work around the house. MISS ARLEN E GETSY , MR. ROY SORG Mrs. Bailey employs the overhead projector to illustrate a problem to Jay Kacho, Linda Ratter, and Tom Boker Science Emphasizes Natural World. A good science department tries to explain the whys of today's world, to excite the students' interest in nature and its laws, and to sponsor various proiects for students interested in careers in science. By these standards, the South High Science Department can be iudged as an excellent one. Mr. Harry Flister, Mr. Evan Hughes, Mr. Frank Napier, and Mr. William Steiner acquaint our students with the won- ders ot the natural world around us. ln such courses as General Chem- istry and Applied Physics, a student is taught the the fundamentals of the laws of nature. Such courses as B.S.C.S., Advanced Biology, and Advanced Chemistry enable a student planning a career in medicine, nursing, chemical engineering, etc. to acquaint himself with these laws on a more intense level. Through the many projects possible for stu- dents, this classrooom knowledge can be applied to specific problems. For these reasons, our science department can be considered one of the best in the area. MR. HARRY FLISTER MR. EVAN HUGHES Mr Steiner, Stan Odoski, Scott Mullen and Terry Widel inspect a model used in their Applied Physics course. MR. FRANK NAPIER MR. WILLIAM STEINER Social Studies Prepares Tomorrow's Citizens. MR. NICK BRACCO MR. NItK De ROSA MR. ANTHONY RAMANTINO MR. FELIX ZABROSKI Q. Mr. Romantino points out something very amusing to Norma Murdoch, dent in one of his Problems of Democracy classes. Being aware of the past and future is very important in our country today. Everything is moving rapidly and the need tor knowledge is increasing. The Social Studies Department at South tries to fulfill this need and make the students of today, the citizens of tomorrow. a stu- N.. The Business Dept. Offers an Up-to-date program. ' if X. A-31. MRS. MARCIA HILL Mrs. Hill looks over the work of Carol Gallagher in the fifth period Typing I C ass. South High School should be quite proud of its excellent Business De- partment. Students enrolled in the business courses are given a practical, well-rounded education, suiting them in the best possible way for eventual careers in the business world . At the same time, those students partici- pating in other courses find many of the business classes of great value in their everyday lives, and a contribution to their total education. The business courses are some of the most modern offered at South High. Students are exposed to the numerous business machines and neces- sary techniques encountered in big business through the instruction of the business teachers, Mrs. Hill, Miss Kushnir, Miss Mendelson, and Mrs. Peters. Proof that their efforts have not been in vain is evidenced by the fact that a considerable number of South's graduates continue in the business field. Some of the courses taught are Typing I and Il, Personal Typing, Short- hand, and Bookkeeping. These, along with other necessary qualifications, prepare students, whether in the business course or not, for their future work. MISS JOAN KUSHNIR MISS LOUISE MENDELSON MRS. BESS PETERS Fine Arts Cultivate Talents and Appreciation. MRS. WALESKA BRUCE MR. CHARLES BOSLEY MR. KENNETH GOULD ,M-. MR. HENRY SOKOLOWSKI R411 Mr. Sokolowski conducts band practice in the music room. A glance into a showcase or ata bulletin board would be impressionable to a visitor at South. A further excursion into the Art room would provide a re- warding experience for any individual. Students complete projects in leather, clay, rugs, iewelry, water color, oil, pastels, sculpture, and stitchery. And to promote the enthusiasm found there, is a very capable art teacher, Mrs. Wales- ka Bruce. Throughout her years of experience, she has acquired much knowl- edge which she passes on to her able students. However, the characteristic stressed most in her classes is originality. All students are encouraged to express themselves in whatever media they prefer, and their accomplishments can be witnessed all over the school. This year's music department showed more enthusiasm than ever before. From the small pep band in the morning before a game, to the musical comedy Li'l Abner, to the l lO member combined West Mifflin Area Band, the coop- eration put forth by all concerned made every endeavor a complete success. Mr. Gould, in his first year as director of the Senior High Chorus, was readily welcomed by many of his former students. Aside from the musical play, choral concerts, and hootenanny group, the vocal department had time to arrange a brand new fight song for the victorious Spartans. The head, of the music department in West Mifflin, Mr. Sokolowski, with the assistance of Mr. Forsyth, very capably directed the marching band in its most outstanding season. Mr. Bosley, also in his first year at South, has ably devel- oped the South High Orchestra. Home Economics and Industrial Arts Courses Are Varied. There have been some changes made in the Home Economics Department this year. The smells are the same - tantalizing - and so are the sounds - the whirring of the constantly used sewing machines. However, it one were to wander by or into rooms 209 and 211, he might be surprised by the presence of the young men of South High. In the past, the Home Ec. Department was the domain of girls only, but this year, the course of study has been expanded to meet the needs of both girls and boys. To the existing pro- gram of cooking and sewing instruction have been added courses in family living, food services and inte- rior decoration. Thus the Home Ec. Department is the key to useful and practical knowledge for all. Even in the most secluded part of the school, the shop, South High is buzzing with activity. Besides de- veloping practical skills, the shop boys help out around the school in any manner possible. The boys are instructed in the correct use of various power tools and other mechanisms in the wood and metal shops. Basic mechanical drawing is also included in the curri- culum tor those who enioy creating from their own ideas. MRS. SARAH SMITH Above: Mrs. Smith conducts a sewing class. MR. THEODORE GLADYS Below: Mr. Gladys gives a valuable lesson in the wood shop. MR. PHILIP SHUSHNAR Phys. Ed. And Health Coordinate Mental And Physical Well-Being. L lat . MISS PAT HECKEL MR. NED MERVOS ln keeping with the late President Kennedy's plan for physical fitness, South High School requires that all students participate in two physical education classes a week. Thus, an active and all inclusive Physical Education Program is employed. Miss Heckel, the girls' gym instructor, teaches her students the basic rudiments of field hockey, soccer, basketball, marching, baseball, gymnastics, and vol- leyball, as well as the exercises suited to the needs of the individual. A more active and strenuous class is taught by Mr. Mervos, the boys' gym teacher. ln his classes, the boys are worked hard, and their stamina and strength are tested atleast once a month when they are given physical fitness tests. The boys concentrate on football, basketball and wrestling. in the first se- mester, and volleyball, softball, and gymnastics in the spring semester. All students at South are required to take gym, even those who have physical handicaps are able to participate in a limited program. Thus, the physical education program involves the physical development of all students. In the pictures above and at the right, Miss Heckel and Mr. Mervos supervise various activities in their physical education classes. Secretaries Aid South's Smooth Operation. MISS MAUREEN KUNZIC Any student or teacher at South High will readily admit that our school functions as well as it does be- cause ofthe efficiency of the office staff. Their job is one of the largest, most difficult, and is well per- formed. They handle correspondence, bookkeeping, and the innumerable problems which evolve daily. Although constantly confronted with trying jobs, the office staff remains courteous and always willing to help. The untiring efforts of Mrs. Verna Gombosh, and Mrs. Doris Lynn who was her successor as guid- ance and library secretary, Miss Maureen Kunzic, and Mrs. Bert Vietmeiier, secretaries in the main of- fice are indeed appreciated by all. Pictured at right: Miss Kunzic smiles prettily for the Sohian camera Picture above: Mrs. Lynn sets up a guidance appointment. MRS. BERT VIETMEIER 1 MRS.

The reason - the quality of food served by the compe- tent members of the cafeteria staff is the best. The head of the staff, Miss Katherine Neel, and the district dieti- cian, Mrs. Olla Daschbaugh, plan the meals and a la carte selections with the tastes of the hungry students in mind. Under their supervision, the staff pre- pares a complete lunch, plus sandwich- es, pies, cakes, pudding, and salads. Because of the efficiency of the caf- eteria staff, South's students are well fed.

Though there are few of them, and their task is great, they are always on the iob with a smile. Mrs. Ann Shirley, Mr. Matt Dixon, Mrs. Mary Strinich, Mr. Glenn Graham. POLICEWOMAN Mrs. Ernie Woy Mrs. Ernie Woy, better known to the South High students as Ernie, begins and ends the school day with a friendly smile. Mrs. Woy is the policewoman who is stationed directly across from South High School on busy Camp Hollow Road. Her service is a vital one to the high school students as well as to the younger boys and girls from Lebanon. On dark, rainy, or foggy mornings, her iob becomes a more dangerous one as well as an important one, as she directs the fast-moving cars and trucks, and supervis- es students crossing Camp Hollow Road. We hope that she will remain at her iob in West Mifflin for a long time and continue to help the whole community. g Nl 1019453 G5 A . . 1 Two roods diverged in o wood ond I I Took The one Iess traveled by, And thot hos mode oII The difference.

The Tall Ship is their daily efforts which bring them closer to QW' their goal, the Star is the Senior Class whose example the Juniors emulate. The Juniors have carried on many successful projects which brought and will continue to bring them closer to their goals -the Prom in their Junior year, graduation in their Senior year, and a prosperous future throughout their lives. Some of their undertakings were the magazine sale, the toothbrush sale, and the Christmas candy sale. However, it wasn't all work and no play - there were fun nights, picnics, and of course, the Prom. MARTY GETTY . , , President TOM HOLLENBECK , . . Treasurer MATT SARSFIELD . , .

NICK DeROSA, Class Sponsor Q x Y The sophomores of I966-67 were the first new class of underclassmen to enter South in two years. Although it is customary to look down upon the new Freshies , they good- naturedly took criticism and were a vitalizing and refreshing addition to South. Their bewil- dered looks and seemingly senseless questions during the first few weeks of school turned into helpful ideas and enthusiasm for the betterment of South High School. Through the sale of car plates, magazines and through other fund raising projects they were able to make a stab at their goal for the I968 Prom. Their sponsor, Nick DeRosa, and President, Larry Reister, Vice President, Nick'An- gelou, Secretary, Charlotte King, and Treasurer, Cheryl Patterson, proved their capability of leadership throughout the year. The spirit and hard work of the Sophomore Class was a credit to themselves and to South High. 2 P' , .. :L ef' l.f,..e J 3 . ,L: . t A Arr . Q- J. it . 9 ' Q M . g. KA ty!

The Canteen had a constant supply of necessary items for all students. School spirit was increased with the sale of sweatshirts, pennants, and aerial stickers. The candy sale after school was the high-point of the day for many students. Pens and pencils were available for the forgetful , Through the Suggestion Box, Student Council was able to achieve many necessary improvements at West Mifflin South.

Of the many clubs representing South High, the Biology Club is one of the few organizations that combine serv- ice and education. This club not only provides an interesting and varied array of activities for its members, but also sponsors a school conservation program intended to beautify the school grounds and inner court. This yearly project, along with the arrangement of field trips, films, and speakers, keeps the officers, Doug Diemer, president, Dorothy Cooper, vice-president, Barb Howells, secretary, Kathy Evans, treasurer, the members, and their very helpful sponsor, Mr. Frank Napier, quite busy throughout the year. Through the efforts of these people, the Biolo- gy Club has become one of the largest and most unique of all clubs at South High, offering to its members an inter- esting and educationally rewarding program.

Lends Helping Hands. One of the keys to service in South High School is the Future Homemakers of America. The motto To- ward New Horizons opens the door for girls to serve their community as well as their school. The club undertakes many activities in which all work and plan together for the betterment of society. This club has many accredited services to its name, This year, sewing kits were issued to all rooms of the school, and an Easter party was held for the children of faculty members. Baked goods were sold each month to raise money tor the decorations on the Queens car for Homecoming, and forthe partic- ipation ot two girls at the state F.H.A. Conference. This club is also well noted for serving at all school banquets. Thus, through Future Homemakers of America, the door is open to all at South for oppor- tunities to serve school and community.

Teaching for an entire day, the members gain insight into the work they will face when they enter their own classrooms in years to come. The year was filled with inspiring speakers, unfor- gettable classroom experiences, and fun-filled mo- ments during Homecoming when the members pooled their efforts to decorate the Junior Attend- ant's car.

One of the largest activity groups at South High School is the German Club. Their eighty-six members are comprised of both students from Lebanon Junior High and from South. Under the sponsorship of Miss Doris Fleming, they have organized such activities as a roller skating party, Christmas party and caroling, and a kite fly at Schenley Park. The month of May was set aside as a fund raising month. During this time the members supported such activities as bake sales, car washes, and a dance. The money earned was used for their annual picnic. Here the food is supplied by the club money, and the fun by the members. The purpose of the picnic is two-fold, first, to celebrate the end of a successful school year, second, to say Auf Wiederse- hen to the senior members. J.C.L. Lights Up South! Because of its well-planned and organized activi- ties, the Junior Classical League, formerly known as the Latin Club, is o club with a respected name among South High students. Despite its reputation for being a group ot Latin brains , the J.C.L. functions for any- one who has once taken Latin and has an interest in the classics. Under the supervision of Mr. Bohler, the J.C.L. moderator, the members held a successful light bulb sale earlier in the year. The profits of this sole were used to send six of the members to Tucson, Arizona to represent South High at the National J.C.L. Conven- tion. Another successful activity sponsored by J.C.L. was its annual Olympic games which were held in May. This year eighteen schools participated in the pentath- lon events. Afterwards, a dinner for all participants was held in the school cafeteria. is 3 'X A FRED CAMPI - President .

Sohian Staff Holds Key To Memories The door to the memories of the H66-67 school year is unlocked by the key to South l'ligh's Activity Room - the room where members of the Sohian staff combine their efforts to produce a yearbook. The staff, divided into five groups, works throughout the school year collecting significant information and then attempting to present it in a way mo.st meaningful to South's students. The advertising and homeroom representative staffs hold one of the most trying jobs of all, for they are faced with the task of raising over 53,000 needed for the book's publica- tion. The layout staff arranges the pictures and copy on each page. The writing staff supplies the explana- tion of the pictures and activities, and the typing staff types this copy. The individual efforts of these five groups are combined under the supervision of Miss Harriet Newman, Sohian sponsor. Through the hard work and great amounts of time devoted to this year-long project, the Sohian - a book Truly repre- sentative of West Mifflin South - is produced.

They have tried this year, not only to keep song in South, but to show the great spirit within the chorus. During football season they were staunch supporters of the team, for they could be heard singing fight songs and victory chants. By raising money through car washes and bake sales, the chorus was able to present a very successful musical production, Li'l Abner. Under the direction of Mr. Kenneth Gould, the chorus sang in the Christmas pro- gram and also participated in the annual spring concert. Mr. Kenneth Gould rehearses the chorus for the spring concert.

This practice became evident with the suc- cessful performances presented in the half time shows. The marching season was high- lighted by the combined performances of the South and North Bonds at South's final football game. Practice continued through- out the school year in order to present a spring concert. The band also marched in a parade at Kennywood Park.

They gave a fine performance at the Spring Concert in addition to performing at the opening ceremonies of the New England School and at the Christmas Program. This year the Orchestra was able to send three of its members, Susan Talaga, Barbara Walker, and Ray Griffiths to the District Orchestra Festivities which IIO were held at Baldwin High School. These students spent three days preparing for a program presented through the combined efforts of selected musicians from schools in surrounding districts. The South High Orchestra hopes to send more of its members next year to participate in District Orchestra, a truly wonderful musical experience. With only two graduating seniors and the prospects of more interested musicians, the orchestra looks for- ward to a promising season next year. Maiorettes' Performances Please Spectators.

Pre-game and half-time shows were certainly enhanced by the maneuvers of the Spartan Maiorettes.

The color and excitement of a good football game isn't complete without a half time show. As South High's or- ganized, hard-working team leaves the field, another group of hard workers comes on. This is the Spartan Drill Team, under the able supervision of Miss Patricia Heckel. Their iob is to entertain the roaring, cheering Spartan fans with a show equal to the performance of the football team. After an exciting first half, the fans want action in the half time show, and these twenty-four smiling girls give it iust that. The Drill Team's iob isn't an easy one. Working in the summer with the band and maiorettes, they learn preci- sion marching routines. Not only do they add color to the games, but to the pep assemblies as well. From the beat- ing strains of Granada, to the melodious Blue Spanish Eyes, the performances of the Drill Team will long be remembered as part of the exciting Undefeated Season of '66.

The i'soul of South was inspired by the ten vivacious cheerleaders. These girls led the student body onto the field to formfvictory lines, and led them in singing fight songs and cheers to show the team that we were right behind them. The Col- orful signs, the idea of Blue and Gold Week, and the home-room decorating contest, were just a few of the activities our cheerleaders used to fire up the spirit in South. With their sponsor, Miss Fleming, the girls en- couraged a feeling of friendship and good sportsmanship between our team and student body, and the opposing teams and their student bodies.

Led by a sparkling offense which scored a total of 272 points and followed by a stingy defense which allowed only 29 points all year, never gave up more than a single touchdown in any game, and shut-out a total of five opposing teams, this year's Spartan football team dazzled nine consecutive adversaries on the way to a perfect season. This year's first victory came over Class A Munhall and was followed by eight straight victories, six over Class B opponents, and two other triumphs over class A teams. The most exciting game this seosonwos the T5-8 victory over Scott. This contest was a see-saw battle at North Braddock in a sea of mud. Scott drew first blood but the Spartans came back and took the lead, 7-6. After a brace of safeties, one for each I20 team, South again had the lead, and never again trailed. Scott Mullen scored an insurance touchdown to give South the final point spread. Late in the game, Perry Tiberio intercepted a pass deep in Spar- tan territory to stave off a North Braddock drive, in- suring Southern victory. For his outstanding offen- sive and defensive play, Scott Mullen received hon- orable mention forthe Back of the Week in the Daily News. This year's star-studded squad was loaded with seniors, twenty-two of them. Heading the list, senior quarterback Terry Widel threw 76 completions for T159 yds. and l6 touchdowns with only 4 intercep- tions. Widel was also the third leading rusher, Terry was chosen, along with senior end Jim Cominotti, for Alle-Mon Conference All Star team. Widel was also selected to W.P.l.A.L. Class B All Star Team and Daily News Back of the Week along with senior halfback Perry Tiberio. Tiberio was the leading rush- er for the Spartans with 5l7 yds. and the leading pass receiver with 33 receptions for 599 yds. and 9 rst Perfect Season. . 5 ta 3 i ixx I -fm SU.

Perry was also the leader in punt re- turns with 22O yds. on T4 returns, and pass intercep- tion returns with 3 interceptions returned for 54 yds. With l 5 touchdowns for a total of 90 points, he was also the leading scorer for the Spartans. Tiberio and Scott Mullen were elected by the team to the position of Mr. Football 1966. Senior fullback, Scott Mullen played outstanding football, offensively and defensively for the Spar- tans all year and was instrumental in their fine sea- son. Scott was the Spartan's leading rusher with lO2 carries for 563 yds. for an average of 5.5 yds. per carry. Mullen scored on 4 touchdowns, 5 P.A.T.'s and shared a safety with senior defensive end Tom Cratty for a total of 30 points. Jim Cominotti, senior offensive end, was the sec- ond leading pass receiver with 29 receptions for 423 yds, and third leading scorer with 32 points. Def- ensively a standout. Jim recovered 3 fumbles and in- tercepted a pass. Senior guard, John Murtha, led all tacklers with 58 tackles and 25 assists. He was followed closely by senior Mike Barca, tackle, with 47 tackles and 22 assists and Bob Creely, guard, with 45 tackles and 25 assists. Besides being outstanding on defense, any running play led by these three and senior center, Ed Thompson, and junior tackle, Terry O'Donnell, was bound to gain yardage. Even with the over-whelming loss of all these tal- ented seniors, followers of South's grid fortunes have something to look forward to. Besides tackle Terry O'Donnell, John Zaluski, a fine sophomore halfback, Don Lynch, an outstanding player on both offense and defense, Joe Parsyck, a hitting defensive end, and we hope, Bill Himmelwright, a tough end who broke his leg midway through the season, will be back to lead South to many more successful sea- sons. ln retrospect, this season will have to be rememL bered as one of the most successful in our school's history. Being undefeated and untied is something many schools, larger and older than ours, cannot boast. Head Coach - Ned Mervos Our end coach, Bill Howley, is an- other completely local product. He is a graduate of Munhall High School and of the University of Pittsburgh. He was a member of the T963 football squad at Pitt which finished with a 9-l record. Coach Howley was drafted by the Pitts- burgh Steelers in l965, but because of a recurring knee iniury, upon which he had two unsuccessful operations, he was unable to compete for the pro- Club. Bernie Tennant is another brand- new addition to our coaching staff. Coach Tennant played halfback at North on the W.P.l.A.L. Class AA Championship team. He also played on the Waynesburg College football squad. We at South also owe a debt of grat- itude to Coaches Belich and Stagan, the iunior high coaches, who took time to come to South and aid Mr. Mervos and his staff. No group of boys, no matter how talented, is a 'iteam without the cohe- sive force of a coaching staff. By the same token, no team can be success- ful without a good coaching staff. We at South and, indeed, the whole West Mifflin community owe Mr. Mervos and his coaching staff a Thank you. I22 Coaches Foresee Promisine The success any team attains either, on the foot- ball field or any other arena, must in part be attrib- uted to the quality of the coaching. The quality of our coaching staff is equaled in few schools in the state. South's head mentor, Ned Mervos, shares with many other coaches the opinion that football is not a contact , but collision sport. In only his second year here, Coach Mervos has made the name of south one of the most feared and respected in West- ern Pennsylvania football circles. Mr. Mervos attend- ed South High School in Pittsburgh and after gradu- ation continued his education, both academically and athletically, at Pitt and Youngstown University. Before coming to South, Coach Mervos was an as- sistant coach at West Mifflin North, and helped lead them to the W.P.l.A.L. Class AA football champion- ship. Not enough can be said for Mr. Mervos either as a coach or as a man. Mr. Felix Zabrosky, a backfield coach, is a gradu- ate of Glassport High School. Coach Zabrosky played football for Wittenberg College and coached at Wilmerding and Griffin llndianal High Schools. He now coaches South's fine gymnastic team and teaches history and health. Mr, Nick Bracco, another backfield specialist, is also a local man. He attended Munhall High School, where he played football, after which, he went on to play for the Bulldogs of the University of Georgia. Before coming to South to teach history and coach, Mr. Bracco was head coach at Mt. Pleasant High School. 1 avi, ,SWL --,..

Led by three new coaches, head coach Nick DeRo- sa and his assistants, John Forsyth and Tom Trosch, the 1966 - '67 South High basketball team gave their followers some exciting moments en route to a 7 - 15 record, and a fourth place finish in Section 12 of the W.P.I.A.L. The always shorter but always scrap- py team gave evidence of much desire, determina- tion, and sportsmanship as the season progressed. After a slow start of 2 losses, the Spartans came back with a 62-56 victory over rival Thomas Jefferson. This was followed, along with other victories, by a 78-53 win against East Pittsburgh and an 82-59 rout of highly touted neighboring Serra. The Spartan cag- ers then set their season high with 91 points in a sec- ond victory over East Pittsburgh. Next came an 85-65 victory as the Spartans avenged an earlier loss to Pe- ters Township. Fans will also remember the heart- breaking losses in extremely close games to Avalon and South Park, which, if won, would have changed the entire context of the season. Perry Tiberio, the only returning first stringer from last season, led the club in points scored with 357 and a 43.67 scoring average from the field. He also stole the ball from rival players 61 times for a new school record. Terry Widel, another senior, was the second highest scorer on the team and hit consistent- ly from the outside. Tom Blake and iunior, George Koscho controlled the boards. Although constantly outmatched in height, the Spartans pulled down 363 rebounds between them. Sophomore, Mike Mihalov, hustled on both offense and defense while showing considerable poise against older, more experienced foe. Fans will long remember this scrappy team which put up a great fight in every game they played. As coach DeRosa said, Every team that we played knew that they were in a real ball game. ns an Exciting Season.

However, he is not a stranger to Spartan players or fans. He coached the same boys who play for him now, through- out their iunior high school careers at Leba- non. Coach DeRosa is a graduate of Dono- ra High School and the University of Pitts- burgh, where he played both basketball and football. Assistant Coach, Mr. Tom Trosch, is an alumnus of our own high school. He is the first South High graduate to serve in the ca- pacity of a Spartan coach. Coach Trosch played his college basketball at St. Francis of Lorretto, and now coaches the Junior Varsity team. Coach John Forsyth served as a scout for this year's team. He spent most of his Tues- day and Friday evenings traveling to vari- ous schools to observe and analyze the ma- neuvers of South's opponents. Coach For- syth is a graduate of McKeesport High School and Duquesne University. The Spartan basketball coaching staff should be commended for the many hours spent in molding their players into smooth- working and spirited teams. Five Seniors Make Final Appearances in '67 Season.

The South gymnasts also won a second place trophy in an A.A.U. meet, in which they competed with l5 West- ern Pennsylvania gymnastic teams. The Spartan gymnasts started the season with a three meet winning streak by defeating Kiski, Mt. Leb- anon, and Shenango. The team then suffered an ago- nizing 50.5 - 45.5 defeat at the hands of Penn Hills. However, the next meet resulted in an impressive 68-28 win over Springdale. The final three meets re- sulted in a loss to Belle Vernon ldefending state cham- pionsl, a win over area rival, North, and a heart- breaking 49 - 47 loss to Rochester. 'i Outstanding performances were given by Tony Mass Blasko, who totaled 399 points, a second place in the all-around competition at the A.A.U. Meet, a third place and two fifth places in the Pennsyl- vania State Gymnastic Championships. He was also invited to the Eastern Championship Meet. Additional outstanding performances were given by Paul Blasko who totaled l34 points, a fourth place in State Cham- pionships. Paul was the only Freshman to qualify at the State Meet.

This year's constantly improving team defeated Turtle Creek, Serra, and Homestead in dual meets and finished with two two seconds and a third in triangular meets against such tough rivals as Brentwood, Av- alon, McKeesport, and West Mifflin North. Also, in the W.P.l.A.L. qualifier meet at Chartiers-Houston, South finished with a venerable second place out of twenty-one schools. ln the W.P.l.A.L. finals at Mt. Leb- anon, Spartan performers finished within the top seven in four different events. T967 was also a great year for individual perform- ances. A total of ten school records were set during the season. These include records in the mile and half-mile by Rich Koschik with times of 4:47.11 and 2:06.13 respectively, and a record in the two mile run by Bruce Yount with a time of lO:46.8. ln the field events Ed Thompson set a shot put record with a toss of 44'3 and John Gamble set records in the broad jump and triple jump of l9'6 and 38f2 respectively. Individual scoring leaders were Bob Fischer, with 72 points, Chuck Hoover with 70W points, and Rich Koschik with 54 points.

The record does not show that this year's team was a young one, consisting of only one senior, one iunior, with three sophomores and one freshman completing the six member roster. It does not show the potential of freshman golfer, Dennis Saver, who made the team as number four golfer. Nor does the three and nine record show the enthusiasm and drive displayed by each team member. South's golfers, who are ably coached by Mr. Ted Gladys, scored one win over Brentwood and two wins over Clairton. Senior, Al Hornfeck, led the team with a low average score of 85. Sophomores Phil Mascara and Chuck Krol, and freshman, Dennis Saver followed with average scores of 90, 9l, and 95 respectively. The best low score shot by a South golfer was a 78 by Al Hornfeck.

I48 Varsity S Club Encourages Good Sportsmanship The Varsity S Club, under the sponsorship of Mr. Ned Mervos and Mr. Nick De Rosa, is composed of the letter- ing athletes of West Mifflin South. The club tries to promote good sportsmanship within the group and among their opponents. The Club's main goal was to raise money to purchase jackets for the senior members. This was achieved through the annual sale of Wonder Bars, and through dances such as the Mr. Football and Mr. Basket- ball Dances, which honored the outstanding player in each sport. They also sponsored two basketball games. The first, a double header, featured the Junior girls vs. the Senior girls, and the second put South High men's faculty against the team from WMCK. The remaining game in March was a battle between the Varsity S seniors and the men faculty. The Club worked cooperatively to promote friendship, to earn money, and again they achieved their goal to complete a successful year. , K: Bottom row: Mike Barca, Dutch Kaufman, Tony Blasko, Terry Widel, Paul Kelly, Pat Hamilton Middle row: Tom Baker, Jay Kacho, Dick Stom- baugh, Walt Ayers, Mike Pratt, Bruce Yount Top row: Jim Cominotti, Chuck Troy, Chuck Hoover, Joe Urbanek, Joel Newman, George Precopia Bottom row: Martin Getty, Don Lynch, Merl Steimer, Jim Panaia, Paul Bonoski Middle row: Larry Schilatz, Jim Kennedy, George Kos- Bottom row: John Murtha, Scott Mullen, Bob Creely, Ed Thompson, cho, Steve McFall, Bob Fisher, John Zaluski, Chuck Jacobitz Top Jim Kovic Middle row: Tom Baker, Francis Stupar, Glenn Steimer, Al row: Mike Mihalov, Jack Bowers, Bill Best, Terry O'Donnell, Bill Him- Orchowski, Joe Falce Top row: Tom Schelat, Scott Burd, Jim melwright, Joe Parsyck Schwille, Fred Weston, Al Hornfeck I49 'W 5 V 4 jf f4!Z7!t5 .1 wa ff THE KEYS TO MEMCJRABLE MOMENTS Corol Zihol ls Crowned Quee N N 1 Left to right: Dorlene Lirfle, Junior Atfendonh Carol Zihol, Queeng Cheryl Paterson, Sophomore Attendant y N l52 r t Homecoming Festivities.

This tragic drama with touches ot comedy was admirably di- rected by Joan P. Kacik. lt portrayed the heartbreaking loneliness of a woman, Mrs. Lucy Greer, recently re- leased from a mental hospital, her fight to regain the respect of society, and her attempts to govern the lives ot her daughters and to keep them from the insanity which had defeated her. The play ended with the death of her daughter Waverly - the victim ot a tragic love affair, and with Mrs. Greens realization of her own insanity. The whole cast should be congratulat- ed for providing the audience with an evening of enjoyment. lass Presents Stirring Drama. l Lucy threatens Burtorvand Keene as Dora looks on.

Christmas was everywhere at South High School, in the gaily decorated homerooms, in the lobby where stood a be- decked tree, and in the hearts of all who participated and en- joyed the holiday presentation, This is Christmas . The Inter-Club Council bought a beautiful artifical tree for the lobby. All of the clubs donated money for trimmings for the tree. The yule season was complete with a toy train and gifts. The Christmas program, presented in the afternoon and evening, was quite inspiring. The orchestra, under the direc- tion of Mr. Charles Bosley, played a few Christmas selections. The chorus, directed by Mr. Kenneth Gould, sang a variety of songs of the season. The chorus also featured the .lo- Deb-Bevs. This group of vocalists included Jody Welch, Debby Fitzgibbons, and Beverly Cherney. The drama club enacted the scenes typical of every home on Christmas Eve. This portrayal was enhanced by a back- ground of music sung by the chorus. With the holiday spirit begun at South, the students went home to celebrate Christmas and the New Year with their families and friends. ring The Yuletide Season.

Kacik, was the comedy, OUR HEARTS WERE YOUNG AND GAY co-authored by Cornelia Otis Skinner and Emily Kimbrough. The plot of the play deals with the hilarious experiences encountered when Misses Skinner and Kimbrough, both naive young ladies, embark upon an unchaperoned voyage and tour of Paris. Cornelia and Emily must contend with Mr. Skinner who very reluctantly allows the girls to make the trip alone, and Mrs. Skinner, the domi- neering mother who is careful to make certain that both girls follow her instructions and use the handy safety pocket for their valuables. Many funny mo- ments occur when the girls meet Dick and Leo, two handsome Americans, the ship's crew, Madame Elise, and her daughter Therese, who own and run a dilapi- dated hotel in Paris, and Madame de la Droix, an act- ing instructress. Laughter was the order ofthe evening and a sign of the audience's complete enjoyment of the perform- ance. The entire cast, crew, and director can be cred- ited with a hit. udience at the Senior Class Play. Mademoiselle Dela Croix charms Otis Skinner as Cornelia and Mrs. Skinner look on with distaste. Therese and Madame Elise laugh about the naiife Americans who don't understand the mechanics of French bathrooms. 3 if Emily, Cornelia, and the purser discuss the dead man's shoes.

After the film, a dance was held in the cafeteria. WAMO's Porky Chedwick spun the records for the dancers and listeners. Vito DiSalvo's group, The Standards, performed for the crowd also. Everyone, includ- ing teachers got out on the floor to dance. The football team brought great pride to West Mif- flin South, their 9-0-0 record was something to celebrate - and we at South - sure did! .4 Above: Coaches Tennant, Zabroski, Mervos, Howley, and Brocco cut the victory cake presented to them by the cheerleaders.

Senator Leonard Staisey addresses the Honor Society and the assembled students, teachers, and parents. The four outstanding qualities of a National Honor Society member are citizenship, service, leadership, and scholarship. Each year the fac- ulty at South meets to choose a certain few per- sons, who in their opinions, excel in all of the four mentioned qualities. Prospective members are selected from the students who have a B average or better. The faculty then reduces the list by reviewing the students' records. The final selections are made by a committee of faculty members. Both academic achievement and ac- tivities in and out of school are considered in choosing the members. This year's members were announced at a special assembly of the entire student body and faculty. Lou Ann Luther inducted the new mem- bers. Speeches included those by this year's offi- cers dealing with the four virtues necessary for membership. The guest speaker was State Sena- tor Leonard Staisey, who congratulated the new initiates and advised the entire student body of the necessity to attain and practice the virtues if they wish to succeed in life.

South High was a merry-go-round of excitement and preparation as the Junior Class spent long hours planning and decorating for the T967 Junior-Senior Prom. The results of their efforts were breathtakingly beautiful with a setting of fountains, carousels, and gardens filled with flowers and butterfliesg and hand- somely dressed couples dancing to the gay melodies of Jimmy Tucci's orchestra. The post-prom party was held at the Twin Coaches. Jack Jones, the very popular vocalist entertained the group who danced and socialized until the Hwee small hours of the morning. The prom, held on Friday evening, May l9, was the work of the entire Junior Class. Heading the commit- tee was Debbie Polutnik, vice president of the class. She and her entire committee are to be congratulated for providing a splendid evening.

With diplomas in hand and high school perform- ances behind them, the Class of T967 marched from Spartan stadium with feelings of personal pride and satisfaction. Students such as Valedictorian, Russell Verbanec, and Salutatorian, .lay Andres, could look upon graduation not as the completion of a goal, but as a stepping stone to further educational opportuni- ties. Their talks on The Pursuit of Excellence - Through Self Pride and Through Social Responsibility were evidence that their years of education have been fruitful. Whether further schooling or immediate employ- ment lies before the '67 graduate, his goals should be high and his ambitions great. As a citizen of our na- tion, he must be ready to face responsibilities as an adult and to regard the future as a ready challenge. As the strains of Pomp and Circumstanceu fades in the distance, the path divides and each graduate con- tinues to march - this time alone - into a more com- plex world outside of the walls of South High. High School days will be only a fond memory. Q ,--' W kyi . A Russell Verbanec, Valedictorian, and Jay Andres, Saluta- torian, lead their class into the stadium.
