llrief Notes From the Senior Parade WVe, the Senior Class of l91l8, review the events of the four years since we :ntered ninth grade as freshmen. ' Q Almost all of us enjoyed our freshman year for we met so many new people. The students of Harwick, Acmetonia, Cheswick, and the Catholic Schools left Lheir respective schools and joined the regular Springdale students to. form the present class. We did enjoy school: but when the big snow kept us in for two Llays, we all cheered. Three happy events occurred in the spring of our freshman year. The first was on April twentieth when we held our Freshman dance in the high school gymnasium. The second event was the election of Rose Roda, Ruth Longdon, loan Sleppy, and Margaret Phillips to attend the May Queen on May Day. The third event was the celebration of V-E Day for that was one of the great events of our lives. We were so thankful that the war in Europe was over and that the war in japan was drawing to a close. Our Freshman year was a happy year. How meekly we walked to the high school the next fall! But we soon became at home and acted our normal noisy selves. We had several new and popular teachers, including Miss Vellis, Miss Daryman, and Mr. Bowers. We made many new friends among the juniors and seniors. We missed the weekl . . . Y assemblies that we had had ln ninth grade. Many of our fellow classmen participated in football and helped to make our anticipated victories a reality. But Steve Matthews was our pride and joy for he was a regular player on the basketball team. We elected Richard Allias, Ruth Longdon, and Ruth Longhenry as our class officers that year. After a wonderful vacation, we came back to school to a football team who brought the honor of the W. P. I. A. L. Class A Championship to the school. Wie were all very proud of Turka, Gaskin, Bonazza, Quarles, Watts, Kristoff, Spix, Nypaver, Berman, Allias, Tassotti, Harvey, Mosser, Hartz, Jacques, Lincoln, Olearchick, and Shoskin, who were juniors on the squad. -john Nypaver became a star overnight when Gabriel, Blow Your Horn was acted at School Street School Auditorium. Everyone said that it was one of the most humorous plays that our school has produced. The juniors were also well-represented on the basketball team. Marsh, Durnovich, Fajbik, Strawoet, Lincoln, Matthews, and Hartz played. Richard Allias, Clyde McGeary, and .john Nypaver were elected as our officers of that year. Barbara Smalara was elected as our May Queen, and for her court we chose Iileanore Arch, Ruth Longdon, Delores -jursa, and Ann Page. We don't mean to brag, but we don't think there could have been a nicer prom than ours. Thanks to the prom connnittee. On September 2, IQ47, we enrolled as seniors. VVe felt very important when the school photographer came to take senior pictures. Almost everyone's were powerful, Our football team had a good season with seven wins and three losses. The team's seniors were all awarded jackets by the Booster's Club with their own emblem on the back. The band and majorettes really cut a neat pattern marching up and down the field at half time. Clyde Mcfieary, .joe Valla and Marilyn Rengers were elected as our officers. Not allowing football to get the upper hand, Springdale's basketball team won the Section 2 Championship with a great season. The juniors gave us a very nice senior prom. They have our thanks. liveryone had fun as always when we went to Kennywood. The Coaster, Loop-O-Plane, and the Old Mill were regulars with the students. All good things, including high school, must come to an end. As we all walk up the aisle to receive our diplomas, we realize that these have been the best years of our lives.
