As friend and advisor she has displayed steadfast patience and wlisdom in directing our activities as Well as assisting us with our required school duties. Her or- iginality and ready Wit ha.s come to our aid in the planning and execution ol' numerous senio.r exercises. As the years unroll we hope in her memory there Will be a niche for each of us--a niche considerably embellished by her master touch because of the paltry materials We have supplied ff wr con- struction. Since she is semmingly gifted with the power to say Open, Sesame, and immedfiately thereupon to marshal from hcr mind words-- xvords in beautiful array, her thoughts mmle visible--by some such innate quality may she mpld, retouch and stren,Q'th1en our abiding place so it may be pleasant to behold. Then for her labor of love may shc ponder the words of Vergil, Uforsan et haec olim meminisse juvabitf' l MEMORIA GRATA l , To Mr. Seville .MaHY, many years ago an Italian, Caesar Ripa, drew piCU11'6S Of ab- stract Ideas afld Dut them into what he called his Iconol0gi2- HG FGDFC- sented Memoria Grata, memory that is happy, dear, pleasant, bel0ved, HS 3- UYOUUS W0f1'161rl Of a graceful countenance, crowned with a branch of jun- iper with berries on it, and holding a great nail, and standin .etween a 11011 apd an 532510.

Brown, President Standing: Mr. C. Watts Mr. J. M.-Malley OUR SCHOOL BOARD A school is an institution. Originally the Word institution meant instruction or education but that is now obsolete. All institutions have trustees or boards of directors, and a school is no exception in this respect. The Egyptian hieroglyphic for an institution is a. women holding in her right hand a little basket with swallows in it. The nestlings represent the pupils, the basket represents the building, and the women is Alma Mater. Our board of education presides over this institution and its destiny.. OUR PRINCIPAL Mr. Legory has been teaching in the Traf- ford Schools since 1926. He is a graduate of Westminster, B. A., and Columbia University, ML A. Besides. his many duties as high school principal, Mr. Legory finds time to instruct two chemistry classes and to smooth over the little problems which arise in each s1:udent's school life. Our trips to his orffioe are never too .dread- ful for he has the ability to deal out penalties with a smile, although we don't always smile about them. A few of our class have learned that he can get tough, but for most of us he will always remain as the principal who could smile anrd still keep us lined up and respect- ing him. Mr. L. A.

Bacon, Treasurer SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In September, in the year of our Lord. nineteen hundred and forty- three we landed upon the shores of the Temple of Learning better known to local geographers as Trafford High School. We were a goodly number ol' explorers and seekers after wisdom but we were quite shaken in spirit from our rough voyage upon the sea of experience and were quite terrified by the three tribes already inhabiting this rea.lm. There were the Soplis, wild, reckless. and always ready to jump upon newcomers from any hidden point, attacking with sarcasm and ridicule. A tribe of greater power, but not so much given to inflicting punishment upon strangers, were the Juniorsg the chief settlers were Seniors, a mighty group who spent much time eluding the Rulers known as faculty members. The members of our band were called Freshmen which in the language of the realm, meant green. We were eighty-two in number and for the purpose of protection and mutual advancement we organized and elected our learlers, john Lucas, President, james Bowden. Vice President, jean Mertz, Secretary and William Kellner, Treasurer. In spite of our greenness we made rapid progress anfd soon became au- thorities on the subject of Noise, Laughter and Silliness. We had our ups and downs but managed to come through that f'irst year with flying colors. Geraldine Brickel and Louise Turchan were chosen as peppy cheerleadersg they also added their beauty to the May Queen's Court. 12 Incited by the daring of the higher tribes we gathered occasionally fOr Revels known as Parties and even went so far at intervals as to break rules. Although the boys were quite shy, they soon were in the SVOQVC and our parties were successful. These good times we owe to the assist- ance of Miss Byers and Mr. Stark, rulers who were kindly disposed .and soon became of much assistance in guiding us and supplying provisions Without serious catastrophe, we came to the end of our first year. At for our minds. the beginning of the second year, we advanced and took possession of thf- stronglrolds of the Sophomores. This was the year which started off with a bang. To protect our interests and to lead us on to greater achievements we elected as class officers, james Bowden, Theodore Surmacz, and William Kellner, as president, vice-president, secretary-treasurer respect- ively. We knew we had to take Latin II, but we wanted to be contrary and to refuse to take it. We were privileged characters that year, our classes started at eight in the morning and continued until five in the afternoon. We enjoyed our office work, there always being about five of us in the offiice haviing a friendly fAne you kidding?J chat with Mr. Legorv. the chief ruler. Rebellions of small import arose occasionally such as the time when Mr. Shrock grabbed Kaul Hamel by the shirt and said, You're the ring leader. Karl meeklv nodded his reply. Heavy taxes were imposed by lessons and welie settled by peaceful arbitration until one dav in Eng- lish class Robert Campbell made an outburst and Miss Bierer said, Pick up your books and lrit the road. The .same went for Robert Bacon in Biology class. D We spent a gneat deal of our time talkling it over with Mr. Kelly. Miss Byers was a pa.tient history teacher. Ah, yes, we learned much that year. Mr. Lloyd was the kindest teacher, he gave us only one theorem a day to learn, or else. We gave Mr. Ruckle some rough times. One day we :iid his chain in the cupboard and he was in no mood to play hide and see r. Our pa.rties began to get some -zip in them as the boys were not afraid of the girls any longer. Our chapel proifzrams reached a new height. Rem- embeg the time Dick Fitzsimmons tried to put out a fire with a cup of water. There were contentions and internal strife because of members strugg- ling for prominence in sports. The girls placed second in inter-class bas- ketball, losing by one point to the Juniors. The credlit for that successful year in basketball is given to Mr. Lloyd fwho taughft us the skills for the game. The boys were even more successful than the girls in inter-class basketball. 'They were recognized as Champs , Th'ere was a new-comer from Barnesboro, Pennsvlvanlia that year who joined our ranks. She was that well-known Betty McCully. Jo Ann Miller and Karlyn Johnson added their beauty to the May Day crowning. The credit for thie successful May Day program goes to Miss Bierer and Mrs Lloyd. We were a good group and although Melvin Buchin did flunk Geom- etny that year. advanced strongholds of learning we-re conquered and the Sophomores grew in favor with the various members of the faculty. With the beginning of the third year there were several changes. The valiant band who had entered as Freshman, and had conquered the lessons of the Sophomores, now aidvance-d and occupied the territory of the Jun- iors. To preside over them as chief executive they elected one. Theodore Surmacz, who walked wfisely before thiem. followed by Karlyn johnson and Melvin Buchin as vice-president anid secretary-treasurer.

A SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Continued from page 13 During basketba.ll season we contributed six girls to help- win the games. They were Dot Shope, jean Mertz, Mary Lou Morocco, as forwards and Dona Furimsky, Louise Turchian. and jo Ann Miller as guards. That year our Junior girls came in second in inter-class basketball but the boys lost four of their good. players, Charles Glass, Leonard Golick, Frank Lawrence, and Bill Kellner. Mary Lou Morocco and jean Mertz were Junior! beauties in the May Queen's Court. Gerry Brickel and Louise Turchan continued their chieer- leading just as peppy as when they started their Freshman year. We hfad good times in bookeeping classes. Dorca.s Seybert and Eleanor Fedor were the upsetters there. We will always remember the Physics classes and parties we had and eats including potato salad. M11. Kelly al- ways objected but soon found out he could eat just as much as the rest of us. The most important social event of this period was the Prom. We had a good time decorating the gym withi streamers from one wall to the .other and the moon shining through. The center piece was a lily pond surround- ed withi grass. There were lounge chairs and couches. The guys and gals danced to the music of Tommy Carlyn. We will never forget the Junior class play 'AA Ready Made Family , with Ted Surmacz foaming at the mouth. Of course it was only soap suds. And the baby talk Jo Ann Miller used. Mr. Robiiinson, our faculty ruler, h-ad a tough time to get the play under way but without him it would never have been a success. We kept Mr. Stark hustling to think up enough jokes to tell our junior homeroom for we were a. pretty fast bunch of jokers ourselves. Since we had attained an enviable class standing, we began to look for new fields to conquer. Th'e humble band that had invaded the Freshman trenches three years before, now became Seniors, the mighty leaders of the realm, a.nd the In- vincible Class oi' 1947. The wise and sagacious Ted Surmacz was again elected our leader, the other officers being Charles Glass, vice-president Alice Schaab, secretary, and Robert Bacon, treasurer. The Senliors. numbering 57, greatly impressed themselves upon the lower tribes of the Temple of Learning and became noted for their ability and diligence. The only deserter from the class was Harry Portik who was lured into the outside world by a band of waifriors calling themselves the Marines. Continued on page 22 21 SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Continued from page 21 0-ne of the great occasions of the year was the Senior class play Don't Take My Penny which Miss Bierer and Mrs. Lloyd coached. A complete success -------- except financiallv. Great honors were bestowed upon Geraldline Brickel who was chosen May Queen with Eva Todaro and Virginia Patrick as her Senior attend- ents. ' Among the noted warrfiors o-n the athletic fields were Charles Glass, Harold Koepka. Bob Bacon, Frank Lawrence and Dorothy Sh0DC W110 WWI honors for the Seniors because of' thier might and muscle. The Seniors endeared themselves to the Faculty wh.o gave much effort to fitting themselves for the great contest of Graduation. For example Karl Hamel turned on the fan in chemistry class to remove pungent odors and almost suff'icated the entire class. Thev argued with Mr. Schrockin history class and spelled the words incorrectly for Mrs. Saunders in Busin- ess English. A rebellion of great importance over school board rulings resulted in fl school strike which lasted three days. With their motto do it tomorrow---never today emblazened upon their shields, the 'Class of 1947 goes forth to invade and conquer new terr- IIOTIEES. SENIGR CLASS WILL We .do hereby appoint and charge Mr. Legory, the lawful icustodian of the clas's funds, to faithfully attend to look'ing up the numerous bills we owe and to settle all accounts of the departing class from the exhausted pennies of an already depleted treasury. No money are we taking with: us from this expensive institution of education, neither shall we leave any debts behind us. To our kind:-hearted superintendent, Mr. Seville, We bequeath our many thanks fo.r his keen foresight and strength that enabled him to kecp us close to the line even though we were wilful and contrary at times. A To the members of our beloved faculty, who look upon our demise with smilles of joy. We bequeath? the satisfaction which comes from duties well performed, and a peaceful rest from tlre weary task of making grad- uation shrouds. We also leave them a large amount of sympathy for tht-if depressing attemps to pound knowledge into our craniums. In addition we bequeath them our regrets that their work with us was so barren of results we leave them, but we don't leave them much! To the Board of Education we bequeath our desire for the betterment of the schools of Traffond in every department - a desire which has been both inculated and increased by our acquaintance 'with their high and noble standard. Our Well-known capacity for exaggeration we bequeath to the comm- unity at large, whose favorite topic of conversation is What I would do if I were a member of the Board of Education. 22 SENIOR CLASS To joe Simmons we leave our love a.nd best wishes for his success in the future. To the school in general we leave the out-of-way nooks where we have been wanting to hide usually 'in couples if the girls could inveigle the boys to wa.ste th-e time we should have spent in studying. To the school library we leave the collection of volumes setting forth the charms, the escapades, the achievements, and the startling knowledge gleaned from our examination papers. To the junior class, as our rightful and worthy successors, we leaveg Cal Our seats. Occ-upy them, but do not try to fill them. I 1 fbj Our senior dignity. May you uphold it with becoming SCTIQUS' ness, endeavoring to overcome your usual hair-brained and frivolous flipp- ancy. To the Freshmen and Sophomores. collectively and individually, we convey ou.r power of saying the wrong thing in the right place, or the right thing in the wrong place. just how this is accomplished we are not able to explain. Each one will need to work the matter out for himself. There is no 'doubt that much benefit will result from the effort. The fbllowing valuable pe.rsonal bequests, freely and fully given, shoulld be treasured as a continual remlinder of the abundant and over- whelming generiosity of the class and the indivliaduals' thereof.

' I Los Angeles, California May 125, 1957 Dear Mary Lou, j I was delighted to receive your letter telling me of the class reunion and willibe thrilled to death to see all the kids and hear about their adven- tures and expeniences. It is haild to believe that ten years passed so quickly. As for myself, I am now married. You remember The Reverand Clark Culp, don't you? Well, I finally tackled him Cafter two years of fightingj: But, now we are happily married and have our own church in California. It is callred'The Little Brown Church lin the Vale. We also hiave four chil- dren who sing in the choir. They are known as the Clark Bar Quartet. You might be interested in this cllipping from the Los Angeles Times. You remember Chuck Scanlon, don't you? He is here wlitlr his string of nace horses a.nd has just won the Santa Anilta handicap--his winning hforse is called jonsey . He leaves flrom here to 'race his horses at the Ken- tucky Derby b-ut I will try anfd get in touch with him and tell hli'm about the reunion. Dr. Violet Delia and her assistant Helen Watterson are here at the University of California. They have established a Dr. Crane Worry Cllinic to assist the students in getting through? their exams without having nerv- ous breakdowns. You remember when we were in school what firm be- lievers they were inDr. Crane's theories--th'ey call themselves the Worry Birds, and their slogan is Let us bite your finger nails ilor you.. When I told them about the reunion thiey immediately began to worry about train schedules, accidents. etc. - Well, I'll save the rest of my news until I see you.

Wayne, thlat's my dear husband, you know often says to me, Lois, I don't know how you Ido it. I just tellf him I icoruldn't if it wasn't for my dear friend Gloria Lintner who nursed me through my last illness a.nd stays with me constantly guarding my healthl. But of course you know Gloria-- we were all classmates. Lois Johnston is my socia.l secretary and is so dependable. She takes care of everything for me. My dear, she is a priceless jewel. I see jo Ann Reagan every day. I must remember to a.sk lter if she is planning to attend my party or yours. She iis so active in the Little The- atre here. I Wouldn't be surprised if she ended on Broadway---that is, pro- viding her husband doesn't object to her being a career wife. You must come and visit me. Thfere are so many things to do here in New Yorgk. Dorcas Seybert Wislosky anld, her husband dropped 'in on me several weeks ago. They were here for the hanging of he-r latest picture. She looked like a picture hertself---real.ly stunning. It w'as such fun to talk over old times. VVell, my dear, forgive me fo.r not coming, but I know you will under- stand.

Right now I'm in California and this is where I am staying. Remember when I used to dream of going to places like Ciro's and the Pal- atium? Now I'm there every night and with none other than the famous ' R - 1 . V. . . H v I movie star obeit Campbell. Bob has Just finished the film My Seventh Sm which will be previewed the night of our reunion at McBride's The- atre. His press agent Fast Talking joe Kopnitsky will arrive the day before to make final preparations. Hot Lips Parry and his all girl orch- estra will be with? him accompanied by the Songbird of the Airways, Char- lotte Whitaker. By the way, shall I get in touch with Virginia Patrick and see if she is coming? Since she has become Bob Hopes' Pepsodent Girl, her time is not her own. Her famous smile is seen on billboards from Maine to California. I doubt if Carolyn Todaro will be able to get away at this time. She is on location in Arizona where they are filming 'In The Blue of The Night . Carolyn's famous dress designs have won her an enviable position here on the West Coast. She was voted the best dressed woman in America last year. You probably read about it in the newspapers. Speaking of newspapers, how did you like the write up Dona Furim- sky got when she brought all the honors of the Olympic Games home to America. Life Magazine devoted an entire issue to her, I put all the pict- ures in my scrap book. Remember our little ole basketball team in school. I was down at the beachi the other day and watched the most amazing thing. An excavation company bv the name of Fanty and Sons were dig- ging iin the Pacific Ocean. Couldn't help wondering if they were any re- lation to Helen Bostedo Fanty. Well- Gmlf Of TlTlS T?1mbliUS- We will really talk when we get together. jean Mertz New York City My Dear Miss Vacarro Please be advised that I shall be able to attend the reunion of the class of 1947.

JUNIOR CLASS HISTGRY After an amazing amount of study and an even greater amount of worry, we passed our final exams with flying colors and became Sophs. Our Sophomore subjects were not to terrible and neither was our elect- ion of officers, since we were now experienced hands. Thomas Shane was vote.l our able president, Peter Kucan our vice president, Joanne Peduzzi became secreta.ry and John Louvre, treasurer. Betty Radosh and Elva R ubright rose trfiumphantly in the May Queen election with' Aqua gowns. Duningthe past year several exceptional things have hiappened to the Junior Class. First was in the sports department of the inte.rclass activities in which our Juniors fared very wellg well enough, in fact, to captu.re bas- ketball honors in both boys and girls ldivisions. Our boys team, The Junior Comets , accepted post season bids to play the Junior Varsity and the faculty tea.ms. Althfough we lost both con- tests, the students had an enjoya.ble time witnessing such unusual compet- ition, espeoially in the game withi the faculty. As this is being written, our hithento successful athletes a.re completing plans for the organization of what we hope will be a champlionship softball team. Second was in the class of drama, Aunt Tillie Goes to Town , in which Patricia Nale, Thomas Shane, William Camp, Joann Peduzzi, Carl Mikan and Jane LaVerne Baker carried the leads -under the directorship of Mr. R. LA. Robinson. The funds raised from the play together with the money earned by the usual magazine and stationery sales we put toward the Junior and Senior Prom on May 7. Juniors chosen for the Girls' Varsity Team were Dorothy Noll, Meryl Shope, Eileen Loutsenhizer, Mary Rose Turchan and Mary Eleanor Pogue with Marie Connor as manager. One of our best boys, Leslie Wiser, left school and joined the U. S. Army, he returned home for his first leave dur- ing ou.r beloved Easter vacation. We held elections thtis year like veterans with Joe Baric ,President, Thomas Shane vice president, Joann Peduzzi secretary, and Eileen Zorick, a new addition to the Junior Class from Clincinnati, Ohio, as treasurer. Dorothy Noll and Alberta Bonde were our gorgeous May Queen rep- resentatives dressed in blue gowns. With the closing of the third edition of our class history, we wish to thank most heartily our teachers and our principals for the many ways in which they have helped us to arrive at our final year of high school. 9 SOPHOMORES SOPHOMORE GIRLS C.

The first 'day ol' school we Freshman were completely confused--most of us still are. Mr. Kenyon told us where to go but the locations of rooms io and 35 were deep clark, mysteries. We Caused quite a bit of trouble for our teachers tho -fi first few days. Gur happliness was .shattered when we glanced at our five little books. Most ol' us enjoyeld our subjects until We got to class. We even eu- joyed chapel programs until it came to running tlrem of'f. Room 39 never tlicl Celebrate Arbor Day properly.

According to custom the boys sat in one corner and the girls in another at the first party, but the second time it was a different story. At this point we wlish to thank Mr. Kenyon and Mr. Cibulas for their cooperation. Betty Zigarovich and Florence lfogue were chosen to represent our class in Pep Club. They proved to be nifty chleer-leaders. jane Drost and Violet Olinzock were our May Queen attendants, while Geraldine Gracion and Betty Zigarovich played parts in the May Day pageant. Un the junior High Basketball team our centers were john Henkle, Iiugene Maliey, and Bernard Gonkog our forwards were john Seralin, john Scales, john Nabu-da, and Robert Mikan, our guards were Lou Bucar, james Leffler, Louis Legory, james Cavalanci-a. Because of Mr. Trembath's careful coaching the team plucked up toward the end of the season as the members began wo.rking together. Lou Bucar paced the scoring with 148 points. Quite a few of ouiv girls played on the Girl's junior Varsity. We lost to Irwin, beat Penn Township, were beaten by lrenn Township, and that about concluded our season. Our Freshlman players were Margaret Lawr- ence, lflorence Pogue, jean Capets, Bertha. Lawrence, Patricia McCuea11, and Geraldine Gracion. After dropping games to the juniors and seniors the freshinan girls' in- ter-class team looked hopefully ahead to the sophomore game, which, much to our despair on joy---we never really have been able to figure out which---was never playe-d. The representatives on our team were, forwart s Margaret Lawrence, jean Capets, lfatty McCuean, Lois Weyandt, Betty Zigarovich, Rose Mastroiannig guards, Bertha Lawrence, Geraldine Grac- ion, Florence Pogue, Amelina Ruffo, Florence Sa.nders, and Irene Lovre. Maybe we'll have better luck next year. As usual, the boys interclass team ended last in tournament although we did manage to beat the sophomores in two contests with the help of the junior high boys. Many of these freshman boys, both iunior high and in- ter-class show good material which we hope will nzold into the best varsity ever. Inter-class softball has interested both boys and girls. The freshman boys who took part in the high school band are Louis Legory, John Scales, and Donald Todaro. In the Traffordians, a dance orchestra sponsored by Mr. Shank, were Louis Legory, john Sca.les. Irene Lovre, Amelina Ruffo, Lois Smith, Irene Ca.pets, Kathleen Desmond, and joan Cole participated in Blow Me Downn. the hfigh school operetta.

COACH GATES FOOTBALL The Trafford High Football Squad went out into the field this year under the direction of our new coach, Mr. Gates. The boys didn't have a very good season but then, it wasn't too bad either. They finished the season with one win and nine loses, with Trafford scoring 83 points to the opponent's 192. ,f The Trafford Tomahawks started the season off with a loss to the fast stepping Wiliinerding Wihdcats by a score of 25, to 6. Then they we-nt on to lose the next two games, to Derry Boro by at score of 21 - I3 and to Rankin I3 - o. The loss of these thiree games aroused the boys so much that when they met Youngwood, they went wild, and rolled up 33 points to Young- Wood's 6. This victory got the boys so over confident that when they met East Mclieesport they were defeated by a 13 - o score. In thze next game which was a night game against Ramsey, the boys put up a hard flighit all the way. Trafford Went into the game with the idea of .knocking Ramsay out of the run for the Class B Championsh'ip but they were again defeated with Ramsey holding 38 points to Traffordfs 13. Trafford thought that since they had been losing so many games they might go into a winning spree, but they went down to defeat again loosing the next two games to a. hard fighting Penn Township by a score of 25 - 6 and then to Ligonier by a close score of 6 - o. Then came the big game oft the year: our last and best rival--Pitcairn. The boys went into this game and put everythling they had into it, but to no avail, again Trafford was defeated. Pitcairn 25 Trafford 0. This closed the regular season but the coach scheduled a post season night game with North Huntingdon Twp. Trafford lost by a score of 20 - o. Tlris wound up the season with Trafford winning one and losing nine. 67 VARSITY BASKETBALL First Row:-Q. Quick, W. Koepka, H. Koepka, F. Lawrence, P. Kucan J. Lovre. Second Row:-J.

In comparison with the games played in other years, thiis was a good season. In the beginning it looked as through we wer'en't going to have much of a team, but under the leadership of our new coach, Mr. john Gates, a team was produced that surprised everyone. At the opening of the season the boys were really on the ball, by defeating Franklin Twp, 35 to 23. Our following game with Export, being decided in the last minutes of play held the interests of' the fans each second until the final whistle sounded with Trafford out in front, 36 to 34. Nearing the end of the season, although luck was against th-em., they refused to let their spirits become dampened. Entering the Westmoreland County Basketball Tournament, Trafford whipped Washington Twp. by a score of 39 to 26. The following day they met Irwin. It was a fast and furious game but when the final whistle bl-ew, Irwin won 57 to 39. The four leading scorers for the Tomahawks are: Lawrence - 180 pts., Glass - 142 pts., Lovre - 64 pts., and Golick - 49 points. The departing sen- iors are leaving their coach and members of the squad with regret but they wish them success and a better team next year. JUNIOR VARSITY VVell, here we are, looking over and comparing the record of our great jr. Varsity team w1ith that of their predecessors, and we fincl that they have finally broken that sad, sad slump by winning one game. The-ir great vic- tory came when they opposed the powerful Ir. Comets and defeated them by a score of 22 to 4. Under the coaching of Mr. Gates they managed to squeeze 156 points through the hoop, but allowed 216 points to be scored against them. Although their inter-scholastic record was unvictorious the boys showed great fighting spirit throughout all their games. Here's hoping that when next year's basketball season rollrs around, next year's team, with the help of the experienced boys coming up from oun jr. High School team, will be able to break tliis slump and come through with a very successful season. 40 BASKETBALL GIRUS VARSITY First Row:wD. Furimsky. J. Mertz, J. Miller L. Turchan, A. Schaab, M.

With the wonderful cooperation on the team'.s part and the successful coachling of Mr. C. R. Schrock, the team was able to win I3 of the I5 play- ed The Export .and the Bell Township games were the only defeats. but the Trafford Girls came back with smashing victories on the return games. Of course, you can't win all the games, can you? The leading scorer was Dorothy Shope, who tipped the balls over the rimi to score 246 points. The other high scorers were Dorothy Noll with III points an'd Mary Rose Turchan with 87 points. These two Juniors brought up the score by their thrilling long shots. Not only the forwards should be given credit for a successful season, but also the guards. This yea.r's outstanding guards were Captain Louise Turchan and Donna Furimsky. Ma.ry Lou Morocco and .lean Mertz were the all-round players playing both guard and forwa.rd. Alice Schaab, lo Ann Miller and the other junior members., Marv Eleanor Pogue, Meryln Shope, and Elieen Loutsonhizer, 'did their part in making the team a suc- cess. Even though seven of the twelve members will not return next yea there will be experienced girls left, together with the junior Varsity which boasts some good players. Then came the tournanrent which we do not wish to discuss. The Team played Sharon Buhl at St. Mary's Lyceum and was defeated. g The managers, Beulah Sarbo and Marie Connor did a good job keeping- the book a.nd score straight. The seven seniors leaving the team are: Dorothy Shope, ,lean Mertz. Mary Lou Morocco, Louise Turchan, Donna Furimsky, Alice Schaab, and -lo Ann Miller. GIRIJS JUNIOR VARSITY The Girl's jr. Varsity, composed of Freshmen and Sophomores, com- pleted their first season, under the direction of Mr. Shrock, with two vic- tories and two defeats. They started the season by losing their first game to North Irwin lr. High School, with a score of 22 - IQ but avenged it by winning the return game. The next game, scheduled with the newly flormed Penn Tlwp. lr. Var- sity, was a thrilling game and a victory for Trafford. The last game was hard fought, only to be lost to Penn Township. The leading scorer for the team's first year was Bernice TwardOWSk with 39 points. 42 GHIBSHND ORGHNIHIIUNS ACTIVITIES BOY'S VARSITY CLUB The varsity club has usually included all football players who earned letters for the year, but this year it was composed of the ten seniors who earned lebtters, because the club planned to buy a jacket for each member and one for each Ietterman would have cost too much.

Spring no sooner came than it was time for the schools annual operetta staged by the high school glee club. It was presented on April 15- 16 under the direction of Mr. Darr and Mr. Robinson. Although much work was necessary by all concerned the success of the production made the energy put forth well worth while. Blow Me Down is the story of a pirate slhip invaded by a group of young stwdents who soon convert it to a, peaceful cabaret much against the pirates' wishes. When the ques- tion of waitresses is raised, the pirates find the answer by taking a group of students from a girl's school aboard to work in the cabaret..

ACTIVITIES HOME NURSING Home nursing has been a featured addition to the health schedule for several years. Miss Irene Daugherty is in charge of this class which meets evefry Friday. The Senior girls are the only ones who are eligible and they take hc me nursing in place of health because it really is very interesting. Miss Daugherty has fr unfl out :that teaching girls to take temperatures is worse than pulling teeth!! But just as things were giong well and the fun was just starting, alas! the class had 'to be discontinued because Miss Daugherty was kept busy taking care oil the Frehmen and Junior physical examinations. Next year let's hope t-he clas. is resumed and the Juniors enjoy home nursing as much as we did. 51 HOME NURSING Turchan. Corcoran, K. Joihnson. First Row:--P. Vaccaro, J. Miller L Second Row:-L.
