UNIOR CLASS HISTORY The Shrimp boats are coming and so are the Juniors coming to the throne as Seniors. We have notoriously achieved this honor after striving for eleven years to reach the end of our goal. As 4'Young Saplingsi' we must admit we had a very striving class. VVe started this hectic year by breaking in two new teachers, Miss Smith and Miss Remaley. Our parties were quite exciting and will go down in history as being very vivacious. Our Freshman year was the beginning of our newly acquired high school years. We are now convinced we took it boldly. Opening our Sophomore year we elected class officers and commenced to build up our treasury department. Our bake sale added much to our petty Fort Knox. This was the year of the immortal Slip Slop Quartet. We will never forget their quivering in the min- strel. They finally pulled through with high honors. We were proud to contribute Marion Harvey and Frances Stojakovich to the May Queen Court. The girls were very successful in inter-class basketball that year winning the championship, while the boys contributed their talents to the Varsity. We were also proud that year to send Maryann Mikan as our donation to County Chorus. At the beginning of our present year we chose as President, Evelyn Morrow, Vice President, Bill Ogle, Secretary, J, P. Owensg and Treasurer, James Sage. We wish to thank the officers for their co-operation. To earn greenbacks for the annual prom, we sold magazines which proved not too suc- cessful. Also, we held a dance which was profitable and sold Christmas wreathes. Representing the Student Council were four capable students: Dave Josephic, Presi- dent, Jim Wracker, Vice President, Maryann Mikan and Mary Jean Ruffo. Chosen by popular vote Maryann Mikan and Mary Jean Ruffo represented the Junior Class in the May Queen's Court. On the gridiron we were proud to have donated our talent. Among those were: Tom McHugh, Dave Josephic, James Kelly, Joe Mazur, James Sage, Delmar Koepka, James Majernik, Jim Owens, John Kerin, Bob Smeltz, and Jim Morocco. WVe are looking forward to a successful season next year. Continuing their position as majorettes we have Dorothy Banasik, and Frances Stojako- vich. Marion Harvey and Anna Mae Nabuda are our peppy cheerleaders. Contributing to Mr. Trembathis Quintet are: Eddie Lenart, Dave Josephic, Joe Mazur, John McCann, Tom McHugh, and Graham Grubb. The basketball team has proved fairly successful. The Junior girls and Junior boys decided to match their basketball ability in an official game. The grudge game turned out with the boys on top winning by a few points over the well proved girls. This game was played under girl's rules. P. Owens seemed to get quite excited when the girls would surround him! All in all we had a very enjoyable eve- ning. We added another face to our Junior Class. A real southern rebel named Jim Moore. Jim hails from the famous winter resort, Flori- da. Having never seen snow before he came to Trafford, we were just as excited as he when the first Hakes fell. Jim Texv Moore resides at Duquesne Avenue and can be seen driving a blue Ford. Having gained a new student we lost two. Bob Smeltz having moved away is now at- tending North Huntingdon High School. He left us after our reading of the tragedy, Mac- beth. We can understand his leaving after the great Shakespearean play. Also, Harry Corl left our notorious Junior Class. To the ever progressing Trafford High School Band we donated our own: Graham Grubb, Maryann Mikan, Violet Klimovich, Dorothy Banasik, and Frances Stojakovich. To the newly organized color guards Marion Ludmann and Mary Jean Ruffo were chosen. Mr. F erri deserves great credit for his achieve- ments. In the Minstrel this year as end men were Tom McHugh, Jim Morocco, and Eugene Patrick. ln the dramatic field we put on our pro- duction of Thats' My Boyf, Portraying the characters were: Jim Moore, Jim Wracker, Anna Mae Nabuda, Frances Stojakovich, Don Schopp, James Sage, Dorothy Banasik, Mary- ann Mikan, Jim Julian, Tom McHugh, Mariet- ta De Frank, Mary Jean Buffo, Audrey Schel- ler, and Violet Klimovich. We wish to thank Miss Smith for her help in making the Junior Class play a success. We close our Junior Year with our hearti- est thanks to Mr. Heaps and Mr. Ruckle our sponsors. . ,

SOPHOIVIORE CLASS HISTORY As usual our school year started with a bang. This was the result of our president's efforts to extract last yearis dues from us. Around the end of September we elected our class oflicers, which are as follows: Dolly Czapor, president, Betty Petrina, Vice Presi- dent, Lois Wanner, secretary, and Rose Bucar, treasurer. The Student Council members were Jackie Pratt, Eddie Krcelic, Pat Prines, and Chuck Jones. It was with the guidance of these faithful servants that we were able to get through the year without a mishap., The sophomore class contributed gal- lantly to the football team by the addition of Joe Frydrych, Mike DiCesare, Kenny Kinley, Don Lintner, Don Hopkins, Roland Dobos, Barry Brickle, Jim Furimsky and John Hartzer. We proudly contributed Betty Petrina to the ranks of our high stepping majorettes. We also had a group of musicians as band mem- bers. Leonard Colangelo, Jackie Pratt, Walter Trkula, Lois Wanner, and Certrude Meager. Adding a touch of class to the band was our color guard, Dolly Czapor. In October we staged a bake sale in Har- lich's Drug Store with the same purpose in mind-namely, moneyl We made out rather well in this, too, about SSO. Also, we can't forget those talented actors and actresses from our Latin II class, who put on a skit, under the direction of Miss Bierer. This was of course put on during football sea- son at one of our Pep rallies. In the course of the year we gained a promising addition to our class. His name, Chuck Jones, better known to all as Buck. He turned out to be a great and promising artist for our school newspaper, the Tomahawk. The sophomore basketball players were Bob Mathias, Bill Henkel, Barry Brickle, Den- ny Robinson, Jim Furimsky, Leonard Colan- gelo, and Eddie Krcelic. The sophomore girls who contributed to the C.A.A. volleyball, and basketball teams were: Patty Erwin, Dolores Fedor, Dorothy Fedor, Joann Cotch, Janet Iovino, Tance Leffler, Gertrude Meager, Mary Lou Merritts, Jackie Pratt, Eleanor Radosh, Pat Reed, and Lois Wanner. Frequent couples seen during the year were Elly and Mike, Bose and Rich, Pat and Bill, Jackie and Cap, Dolly and Bud, Barry and Anna Mae, Pretzel and Fran, Pat and Jim, Bunny and Yunny, and of course we can't for- get those three new romances which happened over the holidays, namely Jan and Paul, Wood- gie and Ron, and Chache and Myrrl. Oh, those out of town boys. At mid-term we lost one of our most popu- lar boys, Walter Trkula, to Penn Township. On January the seventh we had our first class party, our Freshman dues finally being in. This was a grand success and the boys, as usual, enjoyed the food. Toward the end of January we started an all out drive to raise money. In this we returned to the old stand-by of selling maga- zines. Our new student, Chuck Jones, came through with flying colors by selling the most subscriptions. While this did not make us millionaires it was fairly successful. As the old year went out with a bang, we found ourselves staring at the second Week of January, and came face to face with that dreaded time of exams. We then started look- ing forward to see if there were exemptions and who would be exempted. To our dismay we found only four teachers had exemptions and only the few students who had all Sis were not compelled to take the tests. Our hopes fell with a thud as the news circulated. To our amazement, the tests weren't as difli- cult as expected and no one needed to fear the consequences of facing our parents. And so we brought to a close our Sopho- more year and looked forward to a bright future in the hallowed halls of Trafford High School. ' I
