There are some who will gaze fondly at this picture of the place where they spent some of the most important years of their lives. The red brick school house on the hill still tries to prof vide the best education pos' sible for Living in a Democ' racy. fl ,i 4 5 gf' 5:5 TT n.:5ff.L H 4 R ffffl i4'k'k'k'k'k Dedication We hereby dedicate this yearbook to the men and women of Trafford who are in the Armed Services of the United States. It is only'right that we in our own small way should honor these young people for the sacrifice they are making on not only our own but also the vvorld's behalf. Through' out the world, on all our farflung outposts, our boys are upholding with force the principles which we hold so dear to usfprinciples without which life would hold no real value. It is up to us here at home to preserve, and perhaps improve upon, the great American system of democratic lifcg and above all, to back our boys to the fullest extent, make them feel that this is an all-out war to put an end to the trampling of basic human rights, and that we are all in it together, regardless of race, color, or creed. It is hoped that our Service Alumni will recall fond memories of their own days at T.H.S. by glancing through these pages.

WORKING TOGETHER The varied activities of the school aside from the classroom give excellent training in the cooperation and participa' tion neetled for living in a democracy.

Malley 701 Jaw .fdfwfq Ln Q Ebexncfmacq Our School Board To this able group of men we owe a debt of gratitude for the priceless opporf tunities offered us as students of Trafford High School. It has been their keen judgment and foresight that has made Trafford High School what it is today. These men act in the interest of the students and teachers. They meet monthly to discuss and solve problems to promote our general welfare. Trafford suffered a loss when Mr. R. T. Gillis, former member of the Board of Education, moved to his new residence in Wilmerding. This vacancy has been filled by Mr. Edward F. Davis. We wish Mr. Davis success in this new undertaking. Because of the Board vacancy at the time the photographs were available, there was no picture taken of the Board of Education. The outstanding features of the Board's activities are the cooperation, real inter' est in the work and the evident pleasure which each member derives from doing that work well. The Board is now considering further improvements in the school build' ings which will add to them more beauty. We all know that the success of any organization depends largely upon the func' tions of its governing body, and we, realizing this fact, are proud to have these compef tent men as our guide. Often problems that require thoughtful thinking and conf sideration are presented to the Board. We must all agree that the decisions of the Board are the best and wisest possible. --Ili. We sincerely wish to thank the Board of Education for their assistance and cooperation throughout our school career. vmmazgefwmzf 4,2 Compliments of DAVID LEI-PSVRESTAURANT 'Ir 'Ir ir ir ir ir i' 'A' 'A' i' i' ir 'Ir 'ir Learning Together jbemcwmaq Zzcwcw Wa flfaizaw fda L9 C gs from DOROSA'S DRY CLEANING WW THE FACULTY l lffaf,,, - fs: , .

Mr. Legory, our Principal and Chemistry teacher, we shall miss his guiding hand and winning smile. Mr. McLeister, our English teacher, we shall long remember for his pulling us through the Senior Class Play, the Reflector and most of all, our Senior days. We see Miss Bierer, patiently trying to explain Caesar to us and forgiving us for handing in late English papers. To Mr. Schrock, we owe our knowledge of History and foreign affairs. Miss Byers, who also drilled History and Civics into our brains, gave us the foundation for being future citizens of our great country. Je ne sais pas will remind us of Mr. Robinson and our joyous French classes. Mr. Koepka's Physical Education classes kept us in trim and health during these four years. We will never forget Mrs. Saunders' little stories in her Typing and Shorthand classes. Mr. Lloyd, our Geometry, Algebra, Mechanical Drawing, and Aeronautics teacher, we thank for starting us out on a straight path in our Freshman year. We shall always remember Mr. Stark's patience when our Algebra, Trigonometry, and Radio lessons were never done. Mrs. Lloyd, our Science, Civics, and Latin teacher, we remember for her ceaseless efforts in begging us to pay our library dues. We shall always remember Mr. Kelly's advice and his interest in students as well as his interests in Physics and Biology. Last, but not least, we show our admiration and respect to Mr. Ruckle, our Typing and Bookkeeping teacher. As we walk -along our individual paths in life's highway, we shall always ref member the faculty of T. H. S. in the years to come. 8 X. ,I x 'jzzfef 4.-w7 '.1 v jf W ' V ' l l i OUR LEADERS OUR SUPERVISOR Mr. Seville, our Supervising Principal, has now been the leader of the educational program of the Trafford Public Schools for twenty years. He has taken a personal interest in guiding each student on the road to success. Many kind letters of en' couragement have been sent by him to former graduates who are now in the Armed Forces. The pleasant way in which he tells us of his past experiences in other small communities is very enjoyable. A lesson is learned from each story. 'We all regard Mr. Seville as an excellent supervisor and a true friend. We are proud of him and hope that in time he may be just as proud 'of us. Everyone is thankful to him for his splendid cooperation toward the betterment of the community. He has done much toward the war effort. We take this opportunity to express our thanks and appreciation to Mr. Seville. Mr. H. E. Seville T55 ' .feacfeyn in Madam fcfncnfiicufz OUR PRINCIPAL Mr. Lcgory, our Principal, came to Trafford in 1927 as Z1 science teacher. Through his outstanding ability and under' standing of the pupils, he achieved the position of High School Principal. His knowledge of Chemistry has been of value to the students. In his own clever way he has been able to gain and hold the respect and admiration of every student. His good advice has steered many a student on the right track. Regard' less of his many duties as principal and teacher, he has always been able to spend a few minutes with a student needing help or advice. Through our four years of high school, Mr. Legory has given us encouragement and has taught us many lessonsf We are grateful to Mr. Legory and appreciate his kindness toward us. We know the students of the future will have the same attitude toward him as we. Mr. L. A. Legory Q q:'a+s 1- ,wir-er- nasi:gwf'g1,-z sr arf, A 1, , . Mrs. Grace Lohr Miss Betty Earl Mr. Raymond Darr N. x Other Competent Aides OUR NURSE Mrs. Lohr, our school nurse, has been very active in prof tecting the health of the students for the past seven years. We are fond of her and shall miss the many pleasant Home Nursing Classes she conducted. Her careful instructions on health will always be remembered, and we know they shall prove very helpful. The community has become well acquainted with her and many have taken her helpful advice. We hope she will continue to keep up the good work. ouiz SECRETARY A graduate of the Class of 1941, Miss Betty Earle, obtained the position of Mr. Seville's secretary in 1942. As we enter the office, we can be sure she will be there to greet us with her win' ning smile and pleasing personality. Her efficiency and care' fulness in her work have been valuable and appreciated by Mr. Seville. She enjoys her work and does it well. We con' gratulate her for her fine work. We are proud of her and wish her many more happy days with the school. OUR MUSIC SUPERVISOR Mr. Darr, formerly of McDonald, came to Trafford in 1943. A graduate of Carnegie Tech he came here to undertake the responsibility of Music Supervisor. Through his earnest eff forts and patience he has achieved the respect and friendship of all. He has been very successful in conducting the band and the other musical activities of the school. The Mixed Chorus is progressing very well under his fine direction. With his knowledge of music he has successfully performed his duties as Music Supervisor. We hope he will remain in Trafford for many years to come. Y CLASS OFFICERS fleft to rightj-J. Baker, A.

XT SENIORAS Four Successful Years Together A few Senior boys were standing in the hall looking at the bulletin board announcement of the Army Air Cadet Examination. Gee, said the first, it doesn't seem possible that we'll be leaving school this year. Remember how important we thought we were as Freshmen? Yes, replied the second, and how proud Huck Monahan, Pat Gorman, and jack Baker were when they were elected class oificers. They did a good iob though, considering the class they had to work with. The third fwho seemed to have girls on his mind threeffourths of the timel remembered particularly the two lovely blondes, Helen Petrina and Alma Pogue, who were the Freshies' contribution to the May Queen's Court that year. Then into the midst of their reminiscing popped Halfy, who took the part of the Jester in the operetta The Forest Prince. Both parties, they remembered with surprise, were pretty much of a success their first year, thanks to the committees. We had some star gazers that year too, supplied the first. Jack Baker, Halfy Gioia, Koony, Pedul, Pat Gorman and Mary Grace Lovett were members of the Astronomy Club. The late bell for the next class rang, and they passed on into study hall. But when a Senior be' gins to reminisce, there's no stopping him. Putting their heads together, the three of them remembered that Carl Peduzzi was big chief of the class that year with Dutchy Howes and Koony helping him. They pulled this moronic class through their second year in which Mary Grace Lovett and Margaret Lovre marched up the aisle behind the Queen. Margaret Lovre and Ann Bucar were selected as cheer leaders and Helen Petrina and Emma Zigar' ovich were very wisely chosen to lead the band. A few members dropped out of the band that! year, but a goodly number of Sophomores took part in the oper- etta Crocodile Island. The teacher in charge of study hall tapped on the desk, but to no avail. The three happy, lazy Seniors were remembering the lamp that was knocked over in the Junior Class Play Life Begins at Sixteen. But Brez and Bandy, between them, patched it up. Margaret Wiser walked up to sharpen her pencil and the Senior who was thinking about girls three' fourths of the time ibut what Senior isn't?J recalled how pretty she and Mary Kraynak looked in the May Queen Procession. Helen Baric, Jack Bakery and Andy Leger had a bigger job than ever, taking care of the business of this class which was becoming worse by the year. And the Prom: oh! wonderful life! dancing to Jack Merlin's orchestra. The second Senior remembers suddenly how they all got stranded coming home from the Kennywood Park Picnic. Some fun! With the teacher reminding them that they are Seniors now fin name onlyj and should conduct themselves as such, they can see that their officers, Iack Baker, Halfy Gioia, Carl Peduzzi, and Alma Pogue must be ready to tear their hair out. Helen Petrina walked in to make an announcement and they can picture her, in her filmy white gown, floating up the aisle to receive her crown as Queen of May. +Irene Marowski and Harriette Dean, two dark haired beauties, will be in attendance. When an ambitious student asks permission to go to the library, these studious Seniors recall their Senior Class Play, They Also Serve. Koony and Pedul kind of stole the show that time. Last but not least, the Seniors, both boys and girls, were victors in the interfclass basketball tournament. Their minds finally wandered back to the fact that they might not be able to attend the Prom this year if Uncle Sam decides he's too lonesome without them. But even though they may be scattered all over the world next year, that doesn't save them from receiving a well deserved time room slip from the irate study hall teacher, which quickly brought thcm back to the present. 11 i BREZOVIC, ROBERT Bi-ez me ' ' SENIORS BAKER, JOHN Biff Motto-Better late than never . .

You are now entering the town of Haven, elef vation 900 feet, established in 1955 by Trafford Class of 1944. Traffic laws strictly enforced, Chief of Police Robert Brezovic-Welcome! Passing the palatial residence of one George Horanic, retired A E? P millionaire, we spot a sleepy town character who ilooks familiar. Yes, it's Carl Peduzzi! It seems he forgot to pay his pro- tection dues to Butchie-Boy Czapor ,... and he had such a nice garage too! However, he intends to open a new Roller Rink if everything works out. Irene Marowski, Helen Petrina, and Emma Zigarovich are working at George Hall's Club Haveanf other. Success for the club's floor show is given to Employment Su' pervisor Charles Monahan. Banf dy's Dandiesu is the featured band now playing there, among his famous players are grouped John Klovanik, Richard Q3 timesj Goodman, and Harry Sarbo, Bennie Carter does the dancing and Al Voc' carro and Mairney Lovett are featured as vocalists. Our major critics, including Edward A. Howes, say Vaccarro's got Sinatra beat all around. The Club Haveanother's rival is the Chuckfaf luck Cafe, run by Joe Nabuda. Working for joe are johnny Vecchio, who also doubles as our anti' gambling commissioner, Wayne Frye and his viof lin, and Stanley Szajna the bouncer. John Me' halic's 'LMad Mehalicsf' novelty band is surpassing Spike jones in popularity. The Chuckfafluck feaf tures an allfgirl staff with Clara Zigarovich, Anna Bucar, Patricia Gorman in the kitchen, Helen Warden, Meryle Kaufman, and Marie Kljucarich as waitresses, and that sensational allfgirl orchestra led by Elmer, Lovre and Doris Macesic, Stephie Sedor, and Alma Pogue included in it as featured soloists. Not only have the women secured an upper hand in this club, but in the town itself,- seeing that Helen Lukehart opened her Barber Shoppe, Margaret DiRinaldo and her CleanfSoul Shoe Repair Shop, and Catherine Bostedo took over the former Winkie's Drug Store. Baker and Koon's Mortuary is doing a bang-up business, what with their slogan You kill'em-we bury 'emf' The flowers are bought from Dolly's, formerly Leger's. The new M Es? M fMinkle and Martinoj Rag- road are doing great business, says Helen Baric, their private secre' tary. She reports they cleared over ten million last year. Betty Meager and Mary Krynak are the leading fashion designers of the uptown district, and Harriette Dean, Stella Wrubal, and Olga Kochanov employed as models. Alfonse Gioia edits the Haven Holler, an' antifvarga paper. He seems definitely profRoosevelt this time. Working on the Holler are Margaret Wiser, assistant editor, Margaret Dubrave, who edits the Society Sheet, Agnes Chester-comic strip artist and creator of Sherlock Houses, and Frank Krecelic, our lonelyfheart1s editor. Marjorie How' ell and Margaret Lovre still didn't return from the Wacs yet. And, oh yes ,... Sam Cercone. He's the character that wanders around aimlessly with the abandon of a lost soul, saying in a soft voice, Well, nowql wouldn't say that! Haven! Mmmmmmm! JUNIORS JUNIOR GIRLS First Row:--VU. Minear.

Three-Fourths Toward the Goal Nineteenfninety find an old lady rocking in her rock' ing chair. Cn her lap is a scrapbook that brings back memories of happy days at T.I-I.S. I'Iere's a snapshot of Camilla Lovett and Doris jenkins, the Freshmen May Queen attendants. This old football pennant reminds her of the cheer' leaders, Doris jenkins and Claire I-Iillstrom, and of the majorettes, Mary Lou Harris. Camilla Lovett, and Mar' ilyn Pogue. She well remembers how lovely their May Queen attendants, Mary Lou Harris and Ivlarilyn Pogue, looked in their pink gowns. She has looked at this page many times for it tells of her junior year. She has told her grandchildren often of the enioyment she had watching the play He Wars A Gay Senoritaf' On the program are listed the officers' names: Roy Cellich, Carl Dorosa, Catherine Petrina. and -Ieanne Brown. Also listed are the candy sellers: Doris jenkins, Lois Johnson, Phyllis Green, and Rena Mahr. She laughs as she recollects the time the Junior girls wore large hair ribbons. Because the girls resembled bunnies, they were presented carrots from the boys. Many times the elderly lady has remembered how lovely our two blonde May Queen attendants, Catherine Petrina, and Lillian Lovre looked. She recalls how tired she was the night she painted the town in preparation for the Trafford vs. Pitcairn football game. Oh, yes! she was more exhausted the night she scrubbed it off. How grateful she was for the help of some of the boys. The memory of Calvin I-Iolsingefs favorite subject those Russiansi' has brought to her many a chuckle. This sweet old lady will never forget the time she took off school to go see Frank Sinatra. She sighs as she ref members how wonderful he had sung. She needs nothing to remind her of the Prom. Breakf ing tradition, her class held the Prom at the Jaektown Hotel. How heavenly it was dancing to the music of Buddy Raye's Orchestra. Suddenly the door bell rings and she is brought back to reality. Her reminiscing will have to be put off till another day. 18 SOPHOMORE GIRLS Front Rowzr fC. Vuick, L. Venturo R. Dvoravic, A.

Little did they dream that hy the end of the year they would he spending many more hours in timefroom than in their class rooms. After electing officers. joe Tewes, Presidentg Dan Vuic, Vice Presidcntg Elsie Kromer, Secretary, and john Zyhowski as Treasurer, plans were prepared for the two parties. At these the girls worked fiercely dragging the hoys onto the dance floor. We came out, as usual. on the bottom in the has' kethall tournament hut made up for it in volleyhall. We were represented by Christine Pogue and Norma Rishel in the May' Day Ceremonies. In 1943 we came hack to school as Sophomores 59 strong. Although separated and divided into three rooms we still managed to make as much if not more noise as before. Up hudded many promising young 19 wolves, two of whom were Charles Connor and Bill Palehak. Owen Gorman was appointed dictator, with -Ioe Tewes and Elsie Kromer mcekly 171 carrying out his plans as vicefdictator and secretaryftreasurer ref spectively. At our parties the situation was slightly reversed from last year with the hoys doing all the dragging. Audrey and Cccda liyened these parties with their -litterhug Exhibitions. As Sophomores. the haskethall teams ended the tournament with a smile on their faces for they had the honor of heing second only to the Seniors. Jean Dahlstrom and Elsie Kromer were chosen to grace the May Queens Court. As a class the Sophomores are leading the rest of the school in their percentage in the hond and stamp sale. This is a record we are justly proud of. Of the three Sophomore rooms, Mr. Lloyd's leads the parade in percentage. FRESHMEN FRESHMEN GIRLS First Row:fC. Todaro, E. Todaro, V. Delia, Shirley, Y.

The students who were supposed to he in Mr. Starks room were transferred to Miss Byers' room and vice versa. By the end of that day we were all settled. When we received only five hooks, we thought our first year of high school was going to he sim' ple, hut we found out differently when we started to read them. We like all of our suhjects, hut most of all we like algehra. It seems that the freshmen can hardly wait until they get into the algehra class. Then there is Latin class. Most of the Latin students were saying that they enjoyed Latin class so much that they would like to take three or four years of it. Of course, they were just talking ahout this, hut some of the students are serious ahout it. The Freshmen had successful parties this year. The first party did not get going until the latter part of the evening hecause some of the hoys were too shy to ask the girls to dance. At the second party the hoys were really in the groove. We owe our good times to the assistance of Miss Byers and Mr. Stark. The Freshmen Baskethall Teams, hoth hoys' and girls', put every effort into their games in order to win, hut it seemed luck was against them. Naturf ally it dampened our spirit when we lost our games feight in suecessionj, hut perhaps next season we shall come through with winning teams. We hope the Freshmen hoys who participated in the class games this season will he on the squad next year. They made an exeeellent showing in the games in which they did play and they will prohahly play even hetter next year. In the interf class sports to come, the freshmen teams will he there doing their hest. We the class of 1947 leave our hright, cheery. freshmen rooms to the future Freshmen. 20 M. Primozic, F.

In spite of all the work necessary to make this book possible, we have enjoyed every minute we put into it. The first Reflector was published in 1937 and proved to be very successful. Since then, one has been produced every year with few exceptions. The success of the annuals published thus far, and the ones to be published in the future, is due chiefly to the foundation laid by the first edition. This Reflector tells of the many happy hours spent in Trafford High School. We shall always want to remember our school days, for they were truly the happiest years of our lifeg years when we were growing into manhood and womanhood. This book will enable us to live those years once again. We shall want to remember all the happy times we had in school, our classmates with whom we spent many enjoyable hours, and our teachers who aided us in all our tasks, whatever they might be. This year's Reflector staff was headed by Robert Brezovic, editor, Jack Baker as business manager, and Alma Pogue, as treasurer, helped us through our financial affairs. They were, of course, aided greatly by the whole staff, each one doing his share, making the work not too burdensome for any one person. Let us not forget all the unselfish aid given to us by our Class adviser, Mr. McLeister. Our thanks also go to all our advertisers, sponsors, and patrons, whose willing and gracious support went a long way in financially aiding us to make this Reflector a success. I First Row:-B.

This year marks the fifth year of publication for the Tomahawk and is a record to be proud of. The Tomahawk was printed in a new form this year. Instead of having the usual mimeographed paper, it was sent to Michigan to be printed. This method was more convenient than the old and the staff hopes it has met with the approval of the students. I The staff this year is composed of 33 high school studentsfwith A. Gioia as editor. Many interesting exchange articles from all over the country were put in by Marjorie Howell. Mary G. Lovett kept the girls informed on the fashions and H. Behe and Hartley ably covered all the sports events. Free, of course. And of course nobody would escape the roving eyes of our Tommy reporter, who man' ages to keep close check on all the budding romances??? The Staff, although they did ignore dead lines a little UQ deserves much credit for their hard 'work and faith' fulness in bringing the paper to you. In two special issues, the results of the May Queen and the popularity contest, were announced. Margaret Wiser, our business manager, was constantly on the go keeping her eye on the money and keeping us on the right side of the ledger. The Tomahawk raised money by sponsoring dances which proved to be quite successful. The graduating members of the staff sincerely wish that the Tomahawk will continue to be published next year and for many years to come. I . crimp 1' ,HQ STAFF First Row fsittingj:-I. Corcoran, B.

Let Music Swell The Breeze When the air is brisk and the stadium is filled with hopeful, yelling students, what better way is there to encourage a football team on to victory than by a stirring, martial air played by a group of students, confident and gay? The Band has followed our football team to almost all of their games, which added to the spirit of our cheering section. And if you've wondered what all the blaring is about at every Chapel Program, that's the Band too. They are a joyfloving bunch, even Mr. Darr, in spite of all the trouble he still has in getting James Gabriel Parry's mind off the girls and on his music. The Band took part in something this year that has never been done before. On February twentyffourth, our Band was seen boarding a bus bound for the country. They went to Penn Township High School to give a concert. On February twentyffifth, Penn Township's Band was seen boarding a bus for the big city. Yes, they came to our school and presented an amusing program. You can be sure that we will have many more exchange programs in the years to come. Two of the Band members, much to the Band's dismay, have blown the last notes that they will blow for T.H.S. They are Pat Gorman and Aviation Cadet Carl Bandy. Two parties were held by the Band this year, a Christmas party and one in honor of the graduating seniors. Everyone had a good time at both. Mr. Darr, the conductor, has worked both hard and well with our Band this year, and the results, as you can see, are more than satisfactory. 24 MIXED CHORUS CHORUS First Row:-E. Snopko, W.

The members of this chorus are very enthusiastic at each of the meetings held every Wednesday. Of course, occasionally, gloom hangs over their heads because of an unexpected test during the course of the day, but when Mixed Chorus time comes with Mr. Darr's gestures, the gloom disappears. After the frogs are cleared from their throats and some exercising in scales the chorus is ready to begin on their favorite selections. Among these are StoutfHearted Men, Gypsy Sweetheart, The Bells of St. Mary's and The Road to Mandalay. But they are prouder of Mr. Darr's own arrangement of Temptation Late in April the annual Musicale was held with the 'Mixed Chorus taking a large part.

Capable and Trained for Any Emergency 'The Red Cross Home Nursing course was introduced in our school this year by our school nurse, Mrs. Lohr. All Senior girls were required to take it and after having the required thirty hours, all received Red Cross certificates. The course was designed to develop a wholesome philosophy of living and greater resourcefulness in meeting everyday problems. It offers an opportunity to learn: 1. Simple Nursing procedures that enable one to keep a sick person clean, comfortable, and vvellfnourished. 2. How to recognize signs of illness in its early stages, what to do to protect members of the family from communicable diseases, and how to carry out the instructions of the doctor in giving medicines and treatment. 3. What to do in the way of relief measures for thecommon emergencies of ' illness and accident in the home. 4. How to take care of the body so that one may be reasonably sure of having mental and physical vigor for doing whatever job is to be done, and to enjoy some of the pleasures of life. 5. The essentials of a healthful home, of congenial family life, and of the care of children and old people in health and illness. The Senior girls were divided into two groups, one group had a class on Thursday and the other on Friday. It took the place of their regular Friday health class. The Senior girls wish to thank Mrs. Lohr for her troubles and the effort she put forth to help them complete this course successfully, for indeed, it was anything but a Waste of time. It is a real accomplishment for all who took the course and will aid them all through life. 26 Pep - -Tl1at's Us The Pep Club is an organization small in number but rich in enthusiasm. All eight members were cheerleaders during the football season. At the opening game next term, they hope to be wearing snappy brown jackets. The money for these jackets was raised by dances held through' out the year. Pep meetings were held at the assembly programs during the football season. These added to the great enjoy- ment of all.

Like most Americans, the Seniors are concerned about what they can do on the home front toward furthering the war effort. A contest is held to see which team can sell the most 'War Bonds and Stamps, and collect the most scrap metal and waste papgr. Following Mr. Henley's suggestion a Senior Victory Dance is planned, with phonograph records, and the purchase of five dollars worth of War Stamps as the price of admission. But all this is looked on as just kid stuff' by Davey Sawyer, who believes the only way to win the war is by fighting in the front lines. When Davey runs away to enlist, the theft of Miss Barton's cash box seems to point to him. Through the efforts of Phyllis Connor, Sawyer has the oppor' tunity to exonerate himself, and Stan Parsons turns out to be the real culprit. The play has a happyi ending, and the tall man with the high hat and chin whiskers nods his head in a prova. p The great success of the play is largely responsible to the untiring efforts of our directors, Mrs. Lloyd and Mr. McLeister, and to the magnificent job done by the stage crew: Alphonse Gaoia, Stanley Szajna, John Mahalic, and Carl Peduzzi.

He would cease wondering if he had strolled ing it was only the hilarious comedy, He Was a Gay Senloritaf' presented by the Junior Class. , In college Daniel Benjamin QCalvin Holsingerj and his close friend Manuel De La Torriente agreed that when they were married, Manuel's daughter should marry Daniel's son. By telegram the Benjamins are informed of the senorita's impending arrival. Arnold Benjamin, fRoy Cellichj his son, is not interested in any Brazilian beauty for he is in love with Vera Stewart fMary Lou Harrisj. Arnold persuades Larry Moore Uack Ungermanj to impersonate the gay senorita. Mrs. Spangossi fRose Marie McCuskerj is selected to chaperon the senorita. Larry arrives before the real senorita and tries to break down Daniel's high opinion of the senorita by making love to Daniel. After Daniel, he attacked the gardener, Fritz Lutzenheim fCarl Dorosaj, who is caught by his wife Lena Lutzenheim fBeverly Neadj, and is severely punished. Meanwhile Vera, being suspicious, and her friend June Cale fCatherine Petrinaj suspecting her boy friend Larry, engage two actresses QMarilyn Pogue and Virginia Paichj who take the names of Senorita De La Torriente and Senorita Carlotta Ferrez, respectively. Senorita Costa meets Patsy Forest fEdward Lowej and they fall in love. Daniel has a nervous breakdown and Doctor Forsythe fEdward Turshanj is called in. Everything works out, though, by the real Senorita marrying a senor from Brazil and Vera and Arnold marrying with the blessings of Daniel. Orchids to jack Ungerman for his fine impersonation of a Spanish senorita. Please, Jack, watch those beads next time. Thanks, Beverly and Carl for your fine comedy. It was funny-hilarious, in fact-but your German accents were perfect. As for Calvin Holsinger's part as a dignified father-well, it speaks for itself. Oh! yes, let us not forget Rose Marie McCusker's entrance after the Fire Department dis' entangled her from a tree.

Mon' T.H.S. with what the students thought would be just an' other season. However, after the team was drilled and polished, it turned out to be one of our best football teams at good old T.H.S. As the season closed we saw the Tomahawks had scalped their opponents five times while they lost only three hardffought battles. The Tomahawks opened the season with Hurst, at Mt. Pleasant, and went down nobly in defeat. Then jump' ing over to Derry, the Tomahawks started to show great form by defeating Derry 13 to O. We thought we had Wilmerding defeated, this year, but old lady luck just wouldn't give our boys a break. Jumping into the lime' light, the Tomahawks won four successive games against East McKeesport, Bell Twp., Penn Twp., and Ligonier. The last game of the season with Pitcairn was perhaps the most bitterly fought contest ever to take place be' tween the two teams. The first quarter,, Pitcairn put on the power and made two touchdowns. The score stood at this point, 14 to O. The rest of the game showed Trafford pushing Pitcairn around the field, but lacked the needed punch to put the ball over. Finally, in the last quarter, the Tomahawks put over their lone six points and the game ended 14 to 6. A disappointing season was not in store for our boys, for when the totals of the schools of Westmoreland County were added up, it was found Trafford had won the County B championship. Trafford High School now holds the trophy in the library and may the trophy conf tinue to stay there till it is ours. 32 BASKETBALL Five Men and a Ball THE SCORES Trafford 20 Pitcairn 26 27 Wilmerding 50 28 Pitcairn 34 30 E.

The boys must be commended for their spirit in defeat, which they experienced fourteen times, while taking the limelight only five times. Directed by Coach Arnold Koepka, the boys put forth their best efforts. The boys, led by Captain 'tDutch Howes, opened the season with Pitcairn Qscore 20 to 26D and, although losing, made a fine showing. This type of basketball went on through the whole season, for it just seemed our boys could not get the one or two points needed for victory. At the end of the season statistics showed that the Tomahawks scored a total of 484 points to their opponents' 603 or an average per game of 25' to 30-points. In the Westinorelaiid County Basketball Tournament, Trafford was eliminated after a hard fought battle with Sewickley Township, score 13 to 30. While the season was not so successful, our boys did have the spirit and the sportsmanship, that makes great teams and prepares them for greater teams outside the walls of T.H.S. May this spirit be handed down to the next worthy successors and may T.H.S. always be a symbol of good sportsmanship. 'The Lettermen for this year are: Howes, E. QFD Horanic, G. QFD Koon, W.

The team was organized two years ago by Mr. Schrock and has suffered only one defeat in that time. They opened their season by defeating their rival Pit' cairn, 55 to 20. Their games continued, each a victory, until they faced Bell Township. They were defeated by the close score of 39f41. This being their first defeat, pushed the girls on to another string of victories. When the time rolled around to play a return game with Bell Township they were proud to say they defeated them 49-39. After a hard fought game at Franklin Twp. they were treated at the La Barben by Mr. Schrock. The season closed with the defeating of Turtle Creek, 35 to 21. After this game they were invited for a swim in the pool at Turtle Creek. They boast two accurate forwards in Lillian Lovre and Mary Walsh, who scored 254 and 137 points respectively. Effective guarding by Marilyn Pogue and Mary Lou Harris paved the way for many victories. The teams total score was 548 points, an average of 42 per game, against 270 or 20 per game, for their opponents. The outlook for next season is very bright as all the girls will be eligible for another year of varsity competif tion.

The custom being for the Varsity Club to buy jackets for all Senior lettermen, preparations were made to order them. This year the boys decided to get sweaters instead of jackets, but the company didn't seem to agree with them as to when they should receive them. They ordered the sweaters during the Christmas Vacation, expecting them in about two months. Then the company said they had to take white sweaters instead of -brown. As the Varsity boys leave their Alma Mater and march out into life, they will always have a shining hope that someday, . . . someday, those blessed sweaters will arrive. l Compliments of TRAFFORD BARERY ADVERTISERS Heartiest Congratulations to the Class of 1944 366 May Success Attend Your Every Honest Effort in Life ESQ C.

Without hesitation one of the girls popped up and said, Are you kidding? As the Gremlin was talking, he said, I thought Buddy Murray was always in TimefRoom! After that, the girls, not being able to stand any more, gathered around and tried to explain. Didn't you know, it is'n't Buddy any more, it's Cpl. Francis Murray of the Army Air Force.

As the Tomf ahawkn has reported all the events that have taken place during the past school year, we thought we could use it as a refresher to bring back memories of a happy school year. We discover as we look through the first issue that our old Study Hall is no more. It has been divided into two rooms, one of which is our new Library. Many new books have been purchased, and plus the trophies, the Library is getting a good start. The Freshmen held their first party during this month. The green haze at the party was not part of the decoration. In the November issue, we dis' cover that the sports page is full of good news. Except for the one defeat at the hands of Pitcairn, - Z I I Ma.. the Seniors finally had their party, which turned out to be a great success. It almost turned into a hog calling contest when a few of the boys got to' gether and began to exercise their vocal cords, but I think every one will agree that it was a lot of fun. In this issue we also learned of a funny experience that happened to the Senior Play Cast. It seems that some one locked the door to the Library when the Seniors were rehearsing for the play. Nobody came to open the door. The confusion that followed is something that only can be imagined. Finally the door was taken off. A summary of the basketball games shows that the boys won five games while losing fourteen. All the games that were lost were promptly replayed on the corner next day and were wonf?l The Girls' Basketball Team com' pleted an excellent season by los- i ing only to Bell Township, a def A N. QJ3 :-Tl I f 1, ri BA the football team won every game - in the Class B competition. Also we note that the Tomahawks have won the Class B County Football Championship. N We found that the Junior Class play, He Was A Gay Senoritaf' proved to be very successful and also hilarious. In this issue, we also published the results of the election for May Queen and attend' ants. Helen Petrina was chosen as Queen of '44, with Irene Marowski and Hariiiette Dean as Senior attendants. In the April issue the Seniors were congratf ulated on their Class Play, They Also Serve, a threefact comedy which was very successful. Our Band went to Penn Township to put on a chapel program for their assembly. The next day, their band came to Trafford and entertained us with a program of band selections and a puppet show. Well, feat which they later avenged. Coach Koepka also announced that he planned to have a track team this year if it interested the boys enough. The Stamp and Bond sales have steadily been increasing during the school year. Mrs. Saunders' room has been getting a string of 1007275 that would make Adolph very sick. The Juniors voted to have their Prom at the Jacktown Hotel this year. It will be the first time that the Prom has been taken out of the school. Buddy Ray's Orchestra is engaged for the Prom. In the May issue we find that the minstrel has been called off this year. The Band also gave a concert which was very successful. The lower grades and the Mixed Chorus also participated in the concert. Beverly Nead has also been chosen to succeed Alphonse Gioia as editor of the Tom' ahawkf' Greetings from TRAFFORD WOMAN'S CLUB 47 ADVERTISERS v We are happy to be able to offer a complete banking service to the Trafford community.
