Lgblo omore Cycwd Adforg In the early days of our career as Sopho- mores, we were still a bit timid, but as the days turned to weeks we finally came out of our shells and rose as one of the most active classes in the high school. We chose as our chief executive Bill Mor- row who once more proved to be an efficient leader. As members of his cabinet we chose Peg- gy Gibbs, Ronald Peduzzi, and Lucy Asquinog vice president, secretary, and treasurer respect- ively. To fill the place in our hearts made by the departure of our two peppy cheerleaders Patty Cole and Patty Haines, came Barbara Kljucaric and Bill Vergot from Patton Twp., and an old classmaate from way back, Clyde Minnis, who hailed from Swissvale. We were well represented in the musical and athletic fields as well as in many of the var- ious clubs and activities as proof of our active- ness. On the football squad were the Peduzzi twins, Patsy Paul, Mike Zeravica, Donald Vanis- ko, Frank Wengryzn, John Schneider, John Na- buda, and Russel Loutsenhizer. Randall Groth was a manager of the team. On the Basketball floor we had representing us John Serafin, Eddie Banasik, and John Schnei- der on the Varsity, and on the J. V. there were Ron Peduzzi, Bill Vergot, Frank Wengryzn, Frank Stanisic, Jimmy Brown, John Schnieder, Eddie Banasik and John Nabuda. The girls chosen for the Varsity were Lois Turchan, Hattie Boyd, Angie Cannillo and Bar- bara Kljucaric. On the track team we had S. Serafin and B. Lloyd. On the baseball team Ron Peduzzi, Mike Zeravica, Bill Morrow, John Schneider and Frank Wengryzn added their athletic ability and Rey Peduzzi offered his brains to be scorekeeper. The girls inter-class team CThe Amazona', as the boys so fittingly called themj played ex- cellent basketball, losing only one game and then only to be defeated of the championship crown by the Seniors with the heartbreaking score of 17-16. The boys however did not do so well, winning only one of their games and losing three. Pat Cole's vacancy was excellently filled by Lucy Asquino, another cheerleader is to be pick- ed. In the Band were J. Brown, A. Capets, P. Gibbs, M. Murray, L. Turchan, B. Holsinger, and T. Mikan. Bill Vergot, B. Lloyd, B. Morrow and J. Serafin served as color guards. Our high- stepping majorette was Jeannie Traficante, who will lead the band for the remainder of her high school years. ' A. Capets, J. Brown and T. Mikan lent their musical talents to Mr. Shank,s swing Band. The Student Council representatives were Barbara Holsinger, Billy Vergot, Evelyn Mathias, and Bill Morrow. Lucy Asquino and Anne Capets were the happy girls when the votes were counted for May Queen attendants. They made a pretty picture as they marched up the aisles in their lavender gowns. Ron Peduzzi was the only Sophomore end man in the Burnt Corkeris Minstrel, and he was a corkerl Some of the people are still wondering how he managed to lean out almost parrallel to the floor without falling. We sure put on a swell chapel program this year. It was the talk of the school for a week. And how can we forget that Sophomore Masquerade Ball? Both of our parties turned out successfully and every one had a great time. Do you remember, we even got the boys to do some folk dances. To conclude the year we had a wiener roast. It of course rained, but that didn't stop us! We just sat in the rain and had twice as much fun. We set a record these past two years. We got all of our Freshman dues and most of our Sophomore dues paid. Looking back over the year brings back many pleasant memories. Maybe not for Miss Wilson and Mr. Kenyon though, we nearly drove them frantic with our spit balls. Will they for- give us? The year is over and although we are sorry to say we are no longer MWise Foolsf all that sorrow will turn to joy next year when We be- come the high and mighty Juniors.

omior ,JQ46f0lf'y Seventh Grade We, the seventh graders began the year by having our first presidential election. The offi- cers were as follows: Jackie Pratt, president, Ed- die Krcelic, vice-president, Patty Erwin, secre- tary, Mike DiCesare, treasurer. The Student Council members were Jackie Pratt and James Walko. In October we had our first party of the year with Mr. Shank's orchestra playing for us. Then came the Christmas Party with all its pomp, ceremony, and mistletoe! We had Steve Turchanis recordings for this party. Not that we liked parties or anything like that, but we did have two more, the Valentine party and a picnic at the Gun Club. In the middle of the year Dorothy Harvey and Charles Wilson left us. Soon after that we gained two new students, Patty Prines and Joyce Denton. At the end of the year we lost another student, Doris Guynn. Miss Barr left us due to serious illness and everyone was sorry to see her go. Eighth Grade After a happy summer we returned' to school anxious to try out the long awaited Home Eco- nomics and Shop classes. We started our hectic year by having an orderly election of class offi- cers. As President we chose Maryann Mikang vice-president, David Josephic. As our Treasur- er we chose Jim Wracker and Vincent Morocco as Secretary, although not a speck of minutes can be found, written in his ulegiblev hand writing. Eddie Lenart, David Josephic, Jimmy Ten- ney and Joe Mazur proudly represented our class on Junior High Varsity. And the chapels we had! Such acting or shall we say promoting? Remember how lovely Jim Tenney looked in Mrs. Neilas strapless eve- ning gown, not to mention Pfs popular imita- tions. They clapped so long and loud for us that we surely thought we must be good, but soon found out that they just wanted to get out of classes. We had a few prize winning people who carried away the honors and the prize money in the Fire Prevention and Citizenship Essays. Our contribution to the Minstrel was P. Owens, who received several encores for his be- loved c'Mamief' Miss Murf has called our girls 'idearsn many a time for helping clean up, and Mr. Seigel surely wouldn't have enjoyed school this year if it hadnit been for our boys. Freshmen The 'idiapered darlingv of 1934 entered the regal halls of T. H. S. this year with all pomp and splendor due scholars of their standing. A past filled with experience gained in the elementary grades promises to act as a solid base for the building these aarchitectsi' hope to accomplish- building strength in their bodies, knowledge in their brains, and the spirit of fairness in their hearts. David Robinson alone entered the T. H. S. hall of fame as a Letterman in Track, his en- deavors as a half-miler and relay man were in- valuable. Dave also, along with Anthony Ban- asic, was a medal-winner at the Valley Junior High Track and Field Championship Meet. Moving from the scene of sports to that of club activities we again find many of the F rosh class occupying key positions. Jack Connor stood out among the grease paint Dramatic Group showing his talents as an End Man in the Minstrel and an annoying Ukid brotherv in A- Date With Judyf, The two songbirds of the Class of 52, Josephine and Lexine Carter, were outstanding as vocalists for the school orchestra. Others from the class played in the orchestra or school band, those playing in the latter were led by twirling cuties of the class, Marcia Gracion, Arlene Neale, and Marjorie McKee. Chosen as cheerleaders to lead our teams to victory were Mary Jane Marshalic and Irene Litwin. Moving on to the path of a scholastic achievement we see consistent Honor Roll Award being taken by Mary Jane Marshalic, Marcia Gracian, Ann Behe, Wilma Meagher, Josephine Zyhowski, and Margaret Baric. The Freshman Class Assembly was out- standing during the school year. It followed the pattern of radiois Di: I. and gave to the con- testants and audience a memorable hour of laughter and information concerning the school, the faculty, and the students. ' By now these gangling guys and gals have weathered their first year of high school activity and have matured to proportions with which they will proceed to a higher rung of their ladder of life.
