CHARLES DEVENz1o DEDICATION The class of 1957 is proud to dedicate its ELECTRA to one of the most beloved teach- ers in our school, Mr. Charles DeVenzio, popularly known as Coach D. V. All the stu- dents think the world of Coach and praise him as a wonderful teacher. His American History classes are always the best because he knows how to hold interest with the right amount of study and fun. Coach and his family live in a comfortable, stylish house on Moyhend Street in Spring- dale. He has a charming and lovely wife and three young sons, Charles, Richard and David. Born in Coraopolis, Pennsylvania in 1921, Coach attended grade school there and was graduated from Coraopolis High School. Geneva College was his next step. A popular student, Mr. DeVenzio was elected vice-pres- ident of his class in both his sophomore and junior years. While at Geneva Coach amassed an illustrious basketball record. Sportcasters referred to him as the Coraopolis Flash and Dead-Eye Sharpshooter. Chuck DeVenzio was one of the most skilled basketball play- ers when in 1942 he became the highest scorer in Western Pennsylvania with 240 points for a single season. Without a doubt, the most thrilling event for Coach that year was the night Geneva beat Duquesne in an overtime game which ended 49-45. Geneva has never been able to repeat that performance. Coach graduated from college in 1947 after an interruption for service in the United States Navy. In pursuit of education he at- tended Geneva College, Bethany College, Northwestern University, and the University of Pittsburgh. He holds a Bachelor of Science and Master of Education. In 1948, Coach D. V. came to Springdale and Springdale never knew a greater day. Our basketball team became a top contender in the section. Five times Springdale lost the championship by only one game but Coach never gave up. His comment was, It just wasn't my time. The baseball team, under his direction, won first place seven times and was W.P.I.A.L. champion in 1954. It is hard to believe, but Coach D. V. finds time to sponsor the junior class, the Junior- Senior Prom and the sale of peanut brittle by the junior class. He has many interests but his idea of heaven would be sports every day. It is very evident that we of Springdale High School consider Mr. DeVenzio a swell teacher, a great coach, and a thoroughly won- derful person. r , o fy JLQYJ KI! iq!

ATHLETICS Farewell . . . This year we say farewell to one of the best loved people in our school system. Mrs. Estelle Hendrickson, secretary to the Super- vising Principal Mr. Marshall, is retiring. Mrs. Hendrickson was born in Harmar Township, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Mahaffey. Her elementary education was re- ceived in Harmar Township, Sharpsburg, and Springdale. Since there was no high school in Springdale, she secured her high school edu- cation at Tarentum. She taught school for two years at Birdville. In 1909 she was married to Mr. John Hen- drickson and the young couple set up house- keeping in Springdale. The Hendricksons had four children. In 1924 Mr. Hendrickson was chosen as secretary to the Springdale Board of Educa- tion and secretary to the Supervising Prin- cipal. At his death in 1926 Mrs. Hendrickson was elected to fill that position and she has served in that capacity ever since. During those years she helped and be- friended countless people. They all remember her for her kindness, her willingness to help a person in need. She is especially loved by the teachers of our school. As a teacher in the Springdale School District I was priv- ileged to meet Mrs. Hendrickson. She was al- ways considerate, gracious and sympathetic to all with whom she came in contact. Forget- ful of self, she worked tirelessly and consci- entiously for the best interests of others. Her influence and guidance have been an inspir- ation for many who cherish the memory of this staunch and loyal friend. --Amelia Cooper Forester. At the time the Allegheny Valley jointure was formed, Mrs. Hendrickson was elected as secretary of the Joint Board and as secre- tary to the Supervising Principal. Mrs. Hendrickson has many line qualities but her most outstanding one is forgetfulness of self. She never thinks of herself first but did her best for the other person. Elfreda Kun- kle Jack is one of the many people who can attest to this fact. I know Mrs. Hendrickson as a wise and understanding friend. She is never too busy to offer kind words, sympa- thetic notes or interesting conversation. She is a person who can never be forgotten. She made no effort to impress people with her worth. She didn't have to. It shone 'round her. Mr. Charles E. Williams likens her to the lamplighter in a story once told to him. I could never see the old lamplighter as he went about lighting the lamps because it was dark at the base of the lamp post, but I knew where he'd been by the row of lights he left behind him. Mrs. Hendrickson's friends will be glad to know that we will not completely lose her. She will remain as secretary of the Springdale School Board. The words of Supervising Principal Mar- shall hold our wish for the future of Mrs. Hen- drickson. I am certain that all who have known her through her years of service will remember her for her many kindnesses. We wish that she will greatly enjoy her retire- ment. Four separate boards of education compose the Allegheny Valley joint Schools board of education, one from each of the four consol- idated school districts, Harmar Township, Cheswick, Springdale, and Springdale Town- ship. The board has various tasks to perform and numerous problems to solve at their monthly meetings. A full schedule faces them every year with such matters as finances, mainte- nance of school buildings, retarded children, BOARD OF EDUCATION HARMAR TOWNSHIP Standing-John Rehak, Ernest C.

The board of education is a group of pro- gressive and responsible individuals. They performed their varied duties with efficiency and a thoroughly unselfish attitude. To say thank you is hardly enough. However, the class of 1957 wants each and every member to know that it gratefully appreciated their conscientious service. Editors ., junior Editors. .

We seniors certainly can verify that fact. Before we had a chance to protest, there we were-deeply absorbed in our studies with English extra-credit looking us in the eye. In any spare time, there was always the senior obligation to meet. Around March first, the chant going around the halls was, I stayed up all night to linish my senior theme. Make no mistake, it wasn't all grind. Who can ever forget the marvelous senior class play, Gown of Glory, superbly directed by Mrs. Hendrickson and Miss Sober, the fun of ELECTRA distribution, the gala class party, and the memorable junior-Senior Prom? Yes, when the work was finished, we did have good times. The grand linale of the year was, of course, graduation. All eyes centered upon us as we accepted our all-important diplomas. It was a line year. We learned, we laughed, and we iinally made the grade.

Their hours of hard work could not be counted. Conse- quently they exercised precise supervision over every facet of the yearbook organization. Early in the year, the advertis- ing committee began their cam- paign. Nobody was safe from their super-sales know-how. As a re- sult, their motto became a reality, A yearbook for every student. Dependable and deft fingers manipulated the keys of the type- writers. All the pages of the year- book were carefully and accurately copied by them. With neatness and efficiency the typing committee worked, intent on finishing the job. TYPING COMMITTEE Front row-S. Patula, A. Pospistle, N. Heimck Row 2-R, Morris, J. Sharkins, G.

True to form, these clever girls came through with pleasing descriptions for all the seniors and interesting com- ments for every one of the activ- ities. The business committee cer- tainly knew its business. The year- book linances were always kept up to par and in perfect order. They collected the money and spent it well. The sports committee never missed a play throughout the year. These boys, naturally interested in athletics, reported every contest in vivid detail, accenting all the sig- nificant facts. Art plays a major role in year- book publication. Therefore, it was necessary to employ a dependable and talented artist. Although lim- ited by time, the art editor contri- buted wonderful work to the an- nual. BUSINESS, ART, AND SPORTS COMMITTEES G. Coulter, R. Jerich, j. Stipanovich, C. McCalmont, Mr. Sinclair, L.

Every student who belonged to a choir at Springdale High School realized this fact. From their music studies they derived a satisfying and thorough knowledge of the voice. The third period mixed choir gave many excellent performances throughout the year. The reason for the successes was a common feeling of co-operation and the appreciation of music. The choir members worked well to- gether. The choir's appearances included: The Allegheny Valley Choral Festival, Christmas program and the Spring Festival. The Girls' Ensemble is an experienced group of select voices. In their own sparetime these twelve girls practiced until they per- fected a large repertoire of songs. Obviously, the members of the ensemble enjoyed music and found a special incentive to sing. They performed for numerous community groups and actively competed in the forensic league.

Most of the members were underclassmen, in choir for the first time. This group worked toward a high-set goal and really felt the re- wards of its accomplishments. The choir par- ticipated in the Christmas program, Spring Festival, and a fine Minstrel Show. Although smaller than usual, girls' choir CHORAL GROUPS was as good as always. The members worked especially hard for a better and larger sound quality. After hours of tiring practice, they presented the public with an exceptionally line Christmas program and Spring Festival. To Miss Svedberg, choir director, a huge Thank you is extended. Her superior guid- ance was a great asset to the choral depart- ment.

The band made a hne showing with precision footwork and excellent music. We could expect no less under the leadership of Mr, Wareham and Mr. Stroehecker. Band carnp at Blue Knob State Park was a highlight of the band's year. Other exciting events included the Miners' Day parade, an appearance on Band Day at Kennywood Park, Springdale's Centen- nial parade, and the traditional Memor- ial Day parade. Members of the band worked hard to raise money for band camp and senior awards. The year of fun and activity was closed with a banquet. 1 lg., t' fue .

After that came individual work to improve twirling skill for our majorettes have a reputation as the best baton twirlers in the valley. The corps felt the rewards of the work when each appearance was received with cheers and aplause. CONCERT BAND Springdale High School concert band has come into its own. After years of hard work, Mr. Wareham has finally realized his dream of having a concert band equal to any in the valley. Band members set two main goals and by working ceaselessly, achieved them. They won an excellent rating at forensic league com- petition and held their very own concert. This concert, with Mr. James Dunlop of the Penn State Blue Band as guest conductor, was the first of its kind in our school's history. It was quite a year. But the band members aren't satisfied.

How- ever, this year saw the inauguration of a new arrangement. Because rehearsal for the halt time entertainment took valuable time that could have been used for concert music Mr. Wareham formed the pep band. This group of students practiced after hours to learn the many numbers used. The practice seemed to pay off, for the group was well received. judg- ing from audience reaction, the pep band is here to stay. COLOR.GUARDS At all band appearances the school banner and colors were proudly displayed by our color guards. We all felt a wonderful sense of Americanism and a wonderful sense of Spring- daleism as the Hags passed in review. The girls took their duties seriously and always made sure their appearance was perfect. Their smart uniforms and immaculate gloves gave them a crisp, military air. To identify themselves. the girls purchased jackets on which were written the words, Springdale Color Guard. These jackets were one more evidence of the pride the color guards had in belonging to the Springdale High School band. l e i l. r P COLOR GUARDS R. Malarik, K. Warner, A Tarasi, J. Fentzel, J.

In the cold of winter they cheered the football team to vic- tory. By the same token, the cheer- leaders weathered every humid gym in basketball season. Surely, no group worked as hard as they to evoke school spirit. Their well- planned pep meetings gave hint to the hours they spent in thought of a sports victory. New cheers and perfectly co-ordinated actions were a common sight at all our athletic events. Wherever they went, the cheerleaders gave a magnificent performance and made S.H.S. proud of their loyalty and appear- ance. All the cheerleaders and their energetic sponsor, Miss Nitsche, and Diane Golian, head cheerlead- er, were considered the best ever. It was a pleasure to watch the precise movements of the Junior Varsity Cheerleaders. They exhib- ited their exceptional skills at every performance. The J. V.'s practiced long and hard, aptly guid- ed by their leader, Dolores Gon- zalez. At all home basketball games the Junior Varsity Cheerleaders presented a trim and lively picture.

Long, tiring hours of work by the very talented Miss Nitsche and the student body resulted in a magnificent display of vivid color and rhythm. The lavishly decorated gym was like a fairy castle as the royal couples with their attend- ants proudly took their honored places on the Hower-bedecked stage. The strains of Pomp and Circumstancew added to the splendor and excitement of the event. Hushed silence fell upon the audience as the retiring King and Queen, David Lewis and Linda Couch, placed the crowns on the bowed heads of Judy Trebac and George Castelli. It was the most beautiful scene of all and quite a few tears of happiness were shed. The gorgeous pastel and white gowns like whiffs of smoke mingled with the radiant faces and dazzling lights to form a breath- taking and memorable scene. SENIOR MAY COURT Front row-J.

The Lyalls were simple folks who enjoyed the natural gifts of life. For the welfare of the parish, they gladly sacrificed common conveniences and luxuries. The Lyalls were a friend to everyone, and everyone was their friend. They never became famous or rich, but they were great. The story of how the Lyalls attained their Gown of Glory is a touching epitome of the strength of charity. I CAST jeremy Lyall .,.... ., .. ..,... . . ., Faith Lyall . .,...,.., ,. . ..

Weiss From the kick-off to the very last play, every football game was one of thrill- packed maneuvers. Under the experienced direction of Mr. Hazlett, head coach, the boys were well prepared both in playing skill and sportsmanship to meet other valley teams. The clashing Dynamos made a favorable showing of iron will against all opponents, and closed the season with a respectable 5-5 record. Everyone at S.H.S. was proud when Gary Graham was voted the most val- uable player in the section, and Stan Wagle received honorable mention. Throughout the year, the team worked hard together to make necessary and valuable improvements that made a great difference on the gridiron.

Usually when a dif- ficult game like soccer is first introduced, it takes years to develop a winning squad. The team must be built, the skills learned, and the experience acquired. However, under the wise instruction of Coach Lenosky the boys mastered the game with little difficulty and became worthy opponents for any high school team. Soccer was so well received that we are sure it will be a lasting sport at Springdale High School. We're eagerly awaiting our first soccer championship.

V. and Coach Turley, set a fast pace throughout the season with long, hard practices and perfected plays. To add to the glory of our Alma Mater, Larry Galcik was chosen the most valuable player in the section. Larry well deserved this honor because he was a league leader all season exhibiting split-second timing and perfect shooting. The fans roared in the galleries every time the lighting Dynamos chalked up another victorious win. Everyone felt the spirit and determination of the team.

Castelli Nothing can quite compare with an exciting baseball game. The pitcher winds up, releases, the ball is struck--another home run! How simple it sounds, but how much practice it requires. If practice makes perfect, our baseball team must have been almost there. Coach D. V. and his boys set their goal early in the season. They practiced long, worked hard, and, as a result, enjoyed many wins. It is supposed that a feeling of oneness gave the baseball squad their success. Perhaps they did not take Hrst place in the section, but at S.H.S. the baseball team was tops.

It has now become a firmly estab- lished institution in our school. The game requires a good eye, body control and much patience. To say the least, our golf team demonstrated all these qualities, strengthen- ing their will for good, fair play and sports- manship. If the team continues to improve at the same rate as in the past, we should be see- ing some golfing trophies soon. Coach Wagner was proud of his boys. He always made sure ., , they had the best possible instruction and Q - they made sure they tried their best to win. We were certainly lucky to have the serv- X ices of Bill Kravenko who came in thirteenth in the state finals. Bill is a fine golfer and will go far in this field.

We look forward to it with joy, yet deep inside our hearts are heavy. School days are the golden days of youth and freedom. We know we can never relive them, but still we want to capture every happy moment to cherish through the years. For each of us a door stands open. We have only to cross the threshold to shape our future. Perhaps we hesitate a slight bit in awe. No, we are not afraid, just cautious. We will take our place in the world because now we are men and women. We will walk away from our Alma Materg we will leave the familiar class- rooms, the noisy halls, and all our faithful teachers and loyal underclassmen. Some of us may even venture to the far corners of the world. But come what may, a small part of each of us will always remain here in Springdale High School. Long after we are gone, our laughter will still be impounded in the wallsg our joys, our sorrows will still be locked within the foundations of this very building. As our paths begin to diverge, we realize how much we have derived thus far. We are among the privileged to have been given the opportunities of a priceless education and of an equal oppor- tunity. Now we are prepared to enlarge and enrich the future. A fond farewell to all our friends at Springdale High School. From now on we will walk with God.
