This is the hour when life suffers a major change. We climb the first step of the ladder of life never to return to the simple happiness of childhood. The fruits of opportunity and experi- ence start on the upward flow to the brim of our earthly urn. This hour is one full of many emotions. Some leave this old era in joyg others, with tears of sentiment, ny to wash away a feeling of unhappiness as they look back through the mirrorof the past. With our footsteps directed forward to a new world of experiences, many of us cannot help but turn around for a minute and with a faraway look in our eyes recall with these words, I remember when .......... Now the lamp of learning lights our way along the pathways-- across the world--to eternity. Ann Crawford 23 I'm going to tell that Einstein r PROPHE Y The story you are about to hear is true only the names have been changed to protect the m nocent My name is O'Brien Gene O Brlen. I work here. l m a cop At 10 47 A,M I got a call from an old classmate Al Ginther the well known rancher He mformed me that a group of well known citizens was planning a class reumon It was my duty to invesngate. That night I returned to my rooms in an apartment house that was owned and operated by Herb Hoffman The next mornmg I looked tntothe case about WhlChGlIlt1l6l' had informed me I went to the home of Nancy Burr the well known party hostess and the chxef suspect tn the re unlon plot I tried to get informauon from her but she chose to remain Slldlt I was puzzled unul ln walked a frtend of hers Suste Schnelder Seetng these two together I knew that somethlng was bemg planned Susie had been held on similiar charges when such thtngs happened at the offtce of Ginny Henry the president of the lonely hearts club where Suste IS an accountant After questionmg her for several hours she asked me what it was all about I rqahed Just getttng the facts Ma am. She mformed methat Dan Hasselman was donatmg the l1qu1d refreshments I went to see Dan to get more information When I arrived at his house his butler Laddie Cochrane, answered the door He took me to the library where Dan was dtctatmg a letter to his secretary Betty Green. The letter was intended for wilhe Haller the lumber tycoon wmllxe was to supply the f1rewood needed for the reunion barbeque. After seeing this letter I knew that I could no longer handle this case by myself I called in my asststant A1 Marconi. Aland Iplcked up a suspect by the name of Larry Whiteman Larry a blind newspaper vendor told us that Ed Stoker had been stealing penmes from hts cup Al and I took Stoker the thief down toheadquarters and made out an 809 on htm Throw the book at htm, Cluef of Police JerryHanessa1d Wedropped the charges agamst Stoker after his wife the former lady wrestler Dolly Fleming said that Ed was stealing the pennies for food for his ten children 3 37 Al turned to me and sald what do you think of this case? I replied It s goxng to be a tough nut to crack Al and I didn t have much time. We had to work fast and the best thmg I could thmk of was to get rlght to the bottom of this case On our way to the home of Paul Sadley professional pohce informer we stopped off at the Morroco Club which was owned by Jane.Feldbauer At the club we hoped we might ftnd Joyce Mecca who we thought might be m1xed up ln the crtme. She was a well known dope peddler who usually supplted parties w1th ktcks Joyce wasn't there As a matter of fact the place was empty except for torch smger Evelyn Bogo who was rdtearsmg her number She told us that the jamtor of the club Paul Lodes had acted str angely durmg the past week and mtght have something to do w1th the caper Evelyn also told us of telephone operator Frances MoGeary who handled the calls to and from The Burt's Manor We talked to Frances but she preferred to remain silent We went back to headquarters to get the advice of Chtef Hanes He told us that whxle we were gone he rece1ved a phone call from Dick Lander Plans for the class party were really underway we would have to work qmuckly As I was crosstng the street after leaving headquarters I was nearly run down by Don Clouser a hood from Chicago I then knew that the gang was really out to get me. I immediately sent out a patrol to pick up Clouser but by the time we found where he was staying he had skipped town In his room however we found another person we suspected of bemg in on the Job lt was Leo Fingers Herzing a member of the old Ann Killer Crawford gang that had been put out of commission by policewomen Erma Friedl and Kay Rigard Leo than gave us a lead on Carol Krteg rmowned woman stock car driver who mlght be mixed up in the case. 24 : - I ' , .

Al talked to her for a few minutes and came back to our table with a pleased smile on his face and said that she wasn t connected in the Reunion Caper mn any way In the meantime we ordered our meals from waiter Leo Lenze who had lost all his money whm the bottom had fallen out of the doughnut busmess On the way out of the club we checked out wtth cashier Jeannette Meyer who seemed frightened when we approached her The next mornxng A1 and I hopped 1.nto his new Cadillac convertible and went to the S 8: S done terms at Dagus State Prtson We received no help from those two because they had both gone stralght but they told us that Mary Jane Mallison treasurer at the local bank had been out early in the morning to see about renting a truck Al turned to me and said Things are getting pretty serious now that they have that truck aren t they? ' I replied They sure are but we ll get them He asked How do you plan to do it? ' I rephed I thought you d never ask Dragnet Headquarters called us and satd that they had pxcked up Malltson in a car accident m whtch she banged up the car of inventor Don Woods This was a break for us We immediately rushed down to headquarters and started the third degree on Mallison After hours of questioning she finally broke down under the pressure and started to tell us everything we wanted to know F rom her we found out that singer Sara Burdex had been hired to provide the entertamment at the party Knowing that Sara was going to provide the ettertalnm t the chief soon figured that her manager Ellen Brown must also have some sinister reason for being in town We checked at the theater where she was supposed to be staying but stage hands Dewey Rlnella and Ronme Hannibal told us that she had left. When we were leaving the theater by the back way we saw a ftgure gomg through the alley Al and I captured him and after a fifteen minute battle we saw that xt was Ellen s body guard Louie Strangler Ehremsberger We left the Strangler and proceeded to Jetty s lodge The lodge was empty excqat for the professional floor washer Tom Lecker who said he was cleaning the place for a party Lecker told us that hehad re ceived his orders from movie actress Janice Wickett 25 Used Car Center owned by Honest Wayne Singer and Square Deal Cliff Snyder. Both the men had n This was all the evidence we needed. I ordered a city wide Dragnet set up. 8:07: The Dragnet went into effect. We closed the business establishment known as Ron's Poo1room which was owned and operated by one of our chief suspects, Ronnie Schaefer, Along with Schafer we brought in shoplifters. Judy Gerg and Dorothy Krieg. The net was starting to tighten. We took the criminals into inspector, Ronnie Stanish, who patted us on the back, promised us a week's vacation and told us we were good cops. As we left the station, we saw Don T.V. Scolari driving his red truck in the direction of the lodge and we saw that the back of the truck was filled with food. We guessed that he hadn't heard that we had cracked the Reunion Case, and he was delivering some of the goods. We put patrolman, Don Miller, on his tail and we soon had him under our custody. Irene Mosemiller, ovmer of the Daily Scandalizer , sent over her star reporter, Helen Jameson, to cover the story and this is the story we gave her- just the way it happened. Trial was held August 23, 1957--in a moment the result of that trial. All suspects were senteiced to Dagus State Pen to serve from 200 years to life.

However, that has not dulled the enthusiasm for the big events of the junior year. At one of the first class meetings, class officers were elected. The president is Art Haber- bergerg vice-president, Charles Krug, secretary, Mary Krug, and the treasurer is Pat McManig1e. In order to raise the necessary money for the prom, the juniors sold license plates. The plates were black and white with S t. M ar ys written on them. In February, class members sold magazines to raise money for their trip to Washington. 38 .11 FIRST ROW: C. McClain, P. Ross, D. Sarginger, N. Schwentner, J. Ganoe, P. Kelson, P. Martin, P. Hannibal.

FOURTH ROW: T. Dornish, A. Schaut, A. Sporner. The juniors have planned to take the Washington trip in the fall of 1954. The class rings were ordered in September and by December members of the class could be seen wearing them. The rings were set with red stones, different from those of several preceding classes. The biggest event ofthe junior year was the Junior Prom. It was held the Friday after Easter. The theme was An Eveningin Paris. Everyone agreed that it was one of the greatest proms ever held, and that it, as well as our junior year, had been a great success. 39 , T, ...T 19' -36 fx X FIRST ROW: E. Fritz, S. Resch, P.

OPIIO ORE C ASS HI TORY The sopho more :lass started out with the motto Born in the Atomic Age and we will continue to be known as the Atomic Class of 1953-54 . At the beginning of the school year we elected our class officers who are as follows: Jim Mildrew, president, Nancy Ross, vice-president, Art Fritz, secretary: and John Gerg, treasurer. The members elected to the student council were Shirley Cattoni, Manuel Gerarge, and Gary Pauline. 40 'Qi FIRST ROW: D. Crawford, J. Samick. N. Del-lass, R. Hoffman, P. Seelye, D. Dippold, N.

Football was one of the major events inthe athletic department of our class. We had thirteen boys representing our class on the football squad. Basketball was also a major sport as we had nine of our classmates participating in this sport. The Christmas Dance, sponsored annually by the sophomore class, was a great success, as the auditorium was attractively decorated inkeeping with the Christmas season. The music for our dance was furnished by the Etudes and the sophomore girls served delicious refreshments. 41 js FIRST RO W: C. Krug, M. Stoker, M. Distler, N. Ford, A. Benson, M. Fox, J. Nelson, J.

For eight years we have been going along the quiet roads of grade school. Now before us are the gates of the tumpike. On August 30, 1953, a new model rolled into the traffic--the class of 1957. Fifty-six boys and 51 girls became the freshmen class of the current school year at St. Marys Public High School. look More work! New responsibilities! Greater freedom! Wider horizons!

Distler, D. Bauer, M. Luhr, K, Salter, T. Goetz, R. Erich. As we became accustomed to all these changes, we held class meetings, elected officers and decided what part we would take in social and other activities of the school. Many of the freshmen boys went out for football, basketball, and baseball. The girls were more interested in the social type of work, but we all found that we could develop our hobbies in the clubs that are active in the school. The Halloween Dance was the freshmen's first social event, and it was a bright spot along the way, with an orchestra, and brilliant costumes. Soon after the school year started, we were saddened one morning to hear that Mr. Kelly had died. He had been with us all of our school years. His death was a personal loss to each of us. We missed him in the halls and classrooms, and we know we will never forget him. We have passed many milestones this first year of high school. Now we are ready for the next turn in thehighway. Weareglad the rules say: stay right and go with care. We are anxious to reach our destination, but there is much to be seen and much to be learned along the way. 43 1'-. -as ..- W.-J JU 5 Art Haberberger, President Mary Krug, Secretary Charles Krug, Vice President Patty Mc Manigle, Treasurer IOR ASS OFFI ER li V K ,limit T-Y 1' V, A -l-W SDI N3 if by ll r fl!

The Dutch won second place in the Allegheny Mountain League by winning three and losing only one of their four league games. The last game of the season, against Coudersport, was can- celled because of inclement weather. Representing the Dutch on the AML All-Star Team were: halfback, Ronny Stanish: center, Edwin Wittman: tackle, Jerry Hanes, and end, Wayne Singer. Fullback, A1 Marconi, and guard, Paul Keller, received honorable mention. The Elk County All-Star Team found Al Marconi and Paul Keller gaining first team berths, with Ronny Stanish and Jerry Hanes receiving honorable mention. The greatest individual award went to A1 Marconi, who, by the vote of his teammates, was recipient of Radio Station WKBI's most valuable player trophy. 48 Haller, H. Wolfe, Assistant Coach.

ITY DUTCHMAN UNIOR D T The Junior High Football team, led by coach, Chuck Lewis, ended the past season with a very commendable record of four wins and one loss. This was the first Junior High team in Dutch history, Thirty boys were members of this team. Coach Lewis deserves much praise for shaping inexperienced eighth and ninth grade boys into a talented young football squad, which defeated such formidable foes as Johnsonburg and Brockway. Their only setback came at the hands of the Little Elkers of Ridgeway by a one- touchdown margin. The gridiron performances of these boys gives the Dutch followers much to look forward to in the future. Many of the above boys also participated on the Jay-Vee team, which managed to win only one of four games, this season, The close of the Junior High football season was made official by the awarding of letters to twenty deserving players.

RSITY D T IIME The Dutch varsity basketball team, under theleadership of Coach Harry I-lap Wolfe, posted a record of 8 wins and 13 losses at the close of this past season. The Dutch opened the season by losingahard-fought verdict to the Class A Clearfield Bisons by a margin of two points. The Dutchmen could be proud to have played on even terms with a Clearfield team that was later to enter the Class A Regional play-offs. Following the initial game, the Dutch recorded two consecutive resounding victories over Port Allegheny and Brockway, respectively. After these two victories, the Dutch basketeers hit a tailspin and were.n't able tc right themselves for any appreciable length of time during the rest of the season. Thus their hopes for a successful season went unfulfilled, and they were forced to settle for their resulting record of 8 wins and 13 losses. ln Allegheny Mountain League play, the Dutchmen garnered a fourth-place tie with Sheffield with a record of 5 wins and '7 losses in league competition. individual honors went to three members of this year's squad. Wayne Singer, co-captain and caiter, won a second team berth on the AML All-Star Teamg he had placed fifth among the league scoring leaders. Receiving honorable mention were Dewey Rinella and co-captain Ronnie Hanniball. The season ended on a happy note with the awarding of letters to eleven performers, among whom were eight seniors. 54 Y -aj'Q UNIDR VARSITY The Little Dutchmen, who were guided by Coach Chuck Lewis this past season, won 8 games and lost 13. Their win-loss record was identical to the one turned in by the Varsity. The Junior Varsity, in contrast to the Varsity, started out slowly and improved gradually as the season progressed. The Little Dutch inaugurated their season by dropping a contest to the Clearfield J ay Vees by a margin of thirty points. They climaxed the season by defeating Brookville by four points. The team was composed of seven sophomores, four freshmen, and two juniors, from among whom the future Dutch Varsity will be selected. Many of the J tmior Varsity boys improved with each successive game: this should give vindication of what to look forward to in the succeeding years. Another team that should be mentioned is the Junior High basketball team, which isn't shown ln the below picture. The Tiny Dutch team, whcih was made up of boys from the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades, emgaged a sixteen game schedule. They were victorious in twelve of those six- teen games. It is tmanimously agreed by all those concerned with basketball here at public that the members of the Tiny Dutch will make St. Marys' presence felt around basketball circles in future years. The season was officially brought to a close whai letters were awarded to the Junior Varsity and Junior High performers by Coaches Chuck Lewis and William Oleszewski, respectively. LEFT TO RIGHT: J.
