This was a day that we'll never be able to forget. For, after waiting eight long years, it was like a dream come true. We knew that we would no longer be looked upon as babies, or be scorned for at- tending high school dances, or other affairs. We, the Class of '51 were now to be an active part of T. H. S. Our first social affair for the year was, of course, our class party. As most Freshman parties, it did not go too well. Most of the boys didnit know how to dance and the few that did just sat around and talked. We sat and listened to the music, and when the food was ready, we went upstairs to eat. At the close of the evening, we all agreed that we had had a good time. In October of the same year, Patti Haines and Patty Cole were added as the personable Freshmen to the Pep Club. But at the end of the year, Patty Cole moved to East Pittsburgh leaving a vacancy for a Freshman Cheerleader the following year. To attend the May Queen on May Day, our class elected as their representatives Bar- bara Holsinger, and Patti Haines. They wore gowns of yellow, and carried red roses. WVe must of course not forget our active class officers, Bill Morrow serving as president, Beverly Kopnitsky as vice-president, Patti Haines as secretary, and Paul Sorokach as treasurer. We entered this year with 61 of our own students, and acquired two new ones, namely Ioan Dashkewitz, and Earl Devine. We left to enter our Sophomore year with 54, leaving a few behind to help the teachers with the new greenies. Our Sophomore year was a great improve- ment over the previous one. We chose Bill Morrow, once again, to be our leader, and to serve under him were Peggy Gibbs, Ronald Peduzzi, and Lucy Asquino. We entered this year with 57 students, adding three new students, Barbara Klujaric, Clyde Minnis, and William Vergot. This year our class was, perhaps, the most active class to enter T. H. S. We were well represented in every field. On the football squad were the Peduzzi Twins, Patsy Paul, Mike Zeravica, Donald Vanisco, Frank Wengrzyn, John Schneider, John Nabuda, Russell Loutsenhizer, and Ed Banasik, with Randall Groth as Manager. The girls inter-class team, The Amazonsf' as they were called by the boys, because of their daintiness, did very well by only losing one game, and being defeated for the cham- pion-ship by one point. To fill the vacancy left by Patty Cole, Lucy Asquino was chosen cheerleader. Of course we must not forget the two girls who added their beauty to the May Queen,s Court. They were Lucy Asquino and Anne Capets. During the year we had a few parties which were very successful. To end the year, we held a Wiener roast at Bill Vergotis home. Of course, it rained as it always does, but we had fun just the same. We left that year 55 strong to become the Mighty Iuniors. CContinued on Page 16D
