They have always had advice ready to help us in our acts. The plays which are participated in are of a great variety: They include clubs, sports, and classes. The maiority of the students have selected learning as their favorite play. Some of the students who did not learn their lines have been dropped from the cast. A greater number of students have succeeded though. The Reflector staff of T956 is happy to present to you a full year's drama at T. H. S.

FERRI Mr. Ferri, our music teacher and director, helped many of us who thought we were musically inclined. As our teacher, he made us slave over sharps and flats, but we certainly h' d learned music. As our chorus director, Mr. Ferri started with not ing an worked until the future Carusos and Madame Butterfiies were ready for County ' o Chorus. As our impressarlo cf the band, he took the drowning band C2 mem- bersl and put it on dry land. The band has been marching ever since, to the clus- . . h appointment of 82 members when It comes to hills. Mr. Ferri also gave t e future Louis Armstrongs a chance to sound off in County Band. As far as discipline went, When I get on this podium, everyone keeps quiet. Of course, being talkative, we still whispered! Mr. Ferri cured this one day by ' the music stand The music stand fell, the music scattered, and rilpplng on . everyone quieted, until Mr. Ferri started to conduct and asked who had taken his music. After a five minute interval, we were ready to start.

Schools must be voted in as members of the National Honor Society by the Secondary Principals' Association. Members of the Traftord chapter are selected from the Junior and Senior classes and must have an average of B or better. To be eligible for membership the individuals excel in Character, Scholarship, Leadership, and Service. Many consider Scholarship as the only prerequisite but this is not the case, as the pur- pose is to encourage development of well rounded personalities who will be the leaders of tomorrow. The impressive induction service consists of a candlelight ceremony with symbols indicating the qualities for membership. Each new member received a National Honor Society pin and a membership card. The emblem of the N.H.S. is a burning torch which represents knowledge. This year we conducted the 1956 March of Dimes campaign and were quite successful. We had a room to room drive and a March of Dimes dance. Our motto for the dance was, Come and dance so that others may walk. The ofticers for the present year were: Gilbert Burkel, President, Nancy Yanuzo, Vice President, and Dolores Cunningham, Secretary-Treasurer. We would like to publish in this 1956 Reflector a list of all the students who have been members of the National Honor Society since l948. 1948 Jane LaVerne Baker, Chester Szymd, Charles Marker, Mildred Ranto- vich, Thomas Shane, Robert Schnieder, Joan Zigarovich, Eileen Zorich, Joseph Barsic. 1949 Jean Capets, Josephine Cynkar, Gerry Gracion, Dolores Krcelic, Wan- da Lenart, Irene Lovre, John Scales. 1950 Mary Ann Beck, Kathryn Frander, Amelina Rufio, Earl Devine, Bar- bara Holsinger, Lois Hysong, Beverly Kopnitsky, Evelyn Mathias, William Morrow, Dolores Susang, William Vergot, Frank Wengryn.

Student Council The Student Council is a non-profit or- ganization and has benefited many. It is the governing body for pupil activity and supports the relationship between the faculty and stu- dents. Mr. Semes, our high school principal, is the sponsor and advisor for the organiza- tion. The representatives that participated in Student Council were chosen by the students of their respective homerooms. One boy and one girl are chosen from each room and act upon the wishes of the students they represent. It was decided that the senior class would nominate a small group of seniors and from this group, the two boys and two girls with the largest amount of votes would run for the office of President. A week long campaign, consisting of speeches, public appearances and all other general functions of running for an office, was conducted. Signs posted in the halls and rooms proclaimed the merits of the respective candidates: Patricia Fundis, Norma Jean Brad- ley, Stanley Zimmerman, and Patrick DiCesare. The campaign was brought to a climax when the student body cast its votes by Australian Ballot in specially constructed booths. Stanley Zimmerman was chosen President, over Patrick DiCesare, a close second. At the first meeting of the organization, the other offices were filled by Zora Yourcheck, Vice President, Eleanor Kain, Secretary, and Frank Urban, Treasurer. One of the main proiects of the organiza- tion was holding the annual Christmas Hop on December 26. The couples danced to the music of Lee Graham and his orchestra. The gymnasium was nicely decorated in a red and white color scheme. Refreshments were served at intermission by the Freshman members of the organization. Everyone enioyed the music and had a good time. The Student Council sponsored afternoon dances, one of which was the Mardi Gras Dance, to celebrate a last time before Lent. The Student Council also earns money by renting its records to other organizations or clubs sponsoring dances. The graduating senior members of the organization are Elaine Smithbower, Barbara Kopnitsky, Donald Ammon and William Mor- occo. Tomahawk The Tomahawk's school year started off with a bang and a few rattles and clanks that have since been ironed out to everyone's satis- faction. Gilbert Burkel and Dolores Cunningham followed their predecessor, Robert Scales, as Co-editors with Patricia Fundis as News Edi- tor, Darlene Schrock, Feature Editor, George Kurtz, Art Editor and Publicity Manager, Myro Dent, Business Manager and Treasurer, Don- ald Smith, Managing Editor, and Carole Brown as Exchange Editor. The Seniors cf T956 made a few policy changes as well as initiating a new look for the paper itself. Instead of a big four-page issue, it was changed to a smaller size, eight- page edition. Another change, which began under Robert Scales' editorship, was carried on and improved last year. This was the develop- ment of a grade school page. The special page for the kiddies consisted of a main feature story of some sterling character such as Slinky, the Cabbage Worm and a collec- tion of stories, poems, and riddles from the children themselves. Thanks from the staff are in order for the kindness of Mr. Ray Koon for the donation ofa printing press which was added to the other equipment collected through the years in the Tomahawk Press Association Room. The Tomahawk held the distinction of rating third place in the annual Pennsylvania School Press Association for the year 1955. The Seniors of '55 also won honors for them- selves and the paper. On February fourth the Tomahawk held its annual Sweetheart Dance in the gym. lt was beautifully decorated in an appropriate red and white theme with Donna Shutz and Bill Dougherty reigning as King and Queen of Hearts. A new staff of juniors, headed by Patty Morocco and Walter Lawson, was appointed at mid-term to succeed the Seniors after a very enjoyable year of hard, but interesting work. lst Row Seated, left to right-G.

The band consists of seventy-two pieces, eight maiorettes, and four color guards, Judy Cimbora, Margie Bartakovich, Betty Neale, and Gerry Schutz. They made a great many successful appearances. Along with marching and formations at the nine football games, the band also took part in the Hallo- ween Parade. They helped with the Armistice Day celebration and their annual concert was given in the spring. Some of the members were privileged to present a series of programs to the Parent-Teachers Association, while a number of students were invited to par- ticipate in the county band festival. Joe Barsic took part in the district band festival and went on to state band. This year the band has lost eighteen of their members through graduation. Those who graduated were Regina Rosetti, Jean Magiera, Lois Shawley, Joyce Simmons, Darlene Schrock, Dolores Cunningham, Carole Brown, Gilbert Burkel, Ronald Crookston, Myro Dent, Donn Smith, John Chiapetti, Joe Barsic, and Bill Morocco. The two senior maiorettes who graduated were Dolores Traficante and Nancy Maiernik, and the two graduating color guards were Judy Cimbora and Margie Bartakovich. This year ends with the thought, aim, and hope that next year will bring an even better band. Ist Row, standing, left to right-J. Cimbora, B. Neale, M. Dobos, B. Johnson, E. Pascador, L. Bermon, C.

Art Club The Art Club, in its third year, under the able direction of Mrs. C. Loutsenhizer, gives students the opportunity to enioy the theories of art. One of the two maior proiects during the school year was the painting of the backdrop for various activities, such as the Minstrel and Grade School Christmas Operetta. Copper jewelry, the other proiect, pro- vided a means of earning money. The new kiln was used in the process of enameling the iewelry and for other types of ceramic work. Camera Club The Camera Club is an extracurricular activity with Mr. Kenyon as the sponsor. Dur- ing the school year the club took pictures of football and basketball games, assemblies, and other school events. The pictures were used by the Tomahawk, Reflector, some local newspapers, and various organizations. The Camera Club sponsored the annual Sadie-Hawkin's Day Dance and sold pictures as a means of earning money. The club provides interested students with a fully equipped darkroom to develop and en- large pictures, and the two Press Cameras. lst Row Seated, left to right-R. Kocher, B. Garvis, G. Kurtz, D.

The Trafford Chapter of the Future Home- makers of America started its year off by elect- ing Judy Cimbora, President, Dolores Cunning- ham, Vice President, Regina Rossetti, Secretary, and Nancy Yanuzo, Treasurer. Mrs. Harris con- tinued as our advisor. The two biggest proiects of the year were doing the laundry for the nurse to earn money and making toys, which were given to needy children. Other proiects were the tea for Open House, Tomahawk Banquet and Mother's Day Tea. All members get pins and the Seniors got a special gift. Home Nursing The Home Nursing Class, sponsored by Miss Daugherty, was the largest in a long time. The attendance every Monday and Wednesday for a semester, was fourteen. The course consisted of answering ques- tions, discussing problems and general care for a patient at home. A few days were taken off from nursing the patient to have a Halloween and Christmas party. Aside from the Home Nursing Course being educational, it was very enioyable, and we thank Miss Daugherty for being a very patient in- structor. ist Row--D. Rishel, J. Dumm, C. Brown, S. Camp, S.

They put up and took down the auditorium chairs, pulled the cur- tain, took care of the stage and lighting, placed furniture and props for plays and as- sisted the janitor. Minstrels added cleaning to the various jobs. They held a few dances to raise money and at the end of the year, took their annual Pittsburgh trip for dinner and the Ice Capades. S. Draganac, E. Cigich, C, Zigaro- vich, V, Capets ajorettes The majorettes did a very fine job this year. Under the leadership of Dolores Trafi- cante and Nancy Majernik, they started prac- tice during the summer and worked hard throughout the football season. They marched at every game and emphasis was placed on the routines and dances performed at the half time shows. They held several dances to raise money in order to buy trophies for the two seniors. These girls also get jackets from the band. Seated, left to right-N, Majernik, D. Traticante. Standing-J. Fike, R. M, Petrini, M. Cunningham, N. Walko, E. Kain, J. Jones. Left to right-N. Koepka, D.

The two new cheerleaders were Nedra Koepka and Pauline Gunia. Norma Jean Bradley and Juliann Bayko are the graduating seniors. They held a raffle during the summer and a few dances to raise money for uniforms and iackets. County Chorus Six students from T. H. S. were given the distinction of attending Westmoreland County Chorus this year. lt was held at St, Vincent Preparatory School at Latrobe, on March lst and Qnd. The guest conductor was Theodore Marier of Boston, Massachusetts. The experience proved very worthwhile to those who attended.

The G.A.A. not only takes in basketball, but volleyball and softball too. This gives the girls a better chance at sports all year round. The organization started the year oft by choosing Darlene Schrock to lead them through the year as President. The girls also elected Zora Yourcheck as Vice President, Patty Morocco as Secretary, and Dorothy Dra- ganac as Treasurer. The G.G.A. consists of the four upper grades ofthe high school. The membership is open to any one who wishes to ioin and each girl is given an even chance. The first activity played were the inter- class basketball games. They were bottled out by the Freshman, Sophomore, Junior and Senior girls. The annual volleyball tournament games, which were played towards the end of the year, proved very exciting and were well sup- ported by the student body. Each year it has been a custom to give jackets to the graduating seniors who earned them on a point basis. This system is based on the girls activity in the club. Points were given for participating in the games, keeping score, keeping time and refereeing. However, due to so many extra activities in the gymnasium the G.A.A. members could not get the gym until the latter part of the year, thus leaving a money problem. Because of this problem, the only awards given were the Trafford T's. The Seniors who received these awards were Josephine Cim- prich, Nancy Maiernik, Dolores Traficante, Barbara Kopnitsky, Joyce Martino, Mildred Lapcevich, Patty Fundis, Juliann Bayko, Dar- lene Schrock, Carol Zeravica, Rose Marie Kuch- ta, Margie Bartakovich and Florence Geiger. The senior girls leave with this one thought in mind. They wish the G.A.A. luck and success in the coming season and they will never forget all the wonderful moments they shared together. arsity Club The Trafford Varsity Club, sponsored by Mr. Karanovich and Mr. Kellner, elected Jack Kopylcheck as President, Stanley Zimmerman as Vice President, and Walter Lawson as Sec- retary-Treasurer. The club had a membership of twenty- two and its main purpose was to raise money to buy jackets for the graduating members. Those graduating were Stanley Zimmerman, Ray Hiner, John Doperak, Arthur Toocheck, Carl Zigarovich, Ed Cigich, Joe Schopp, and Ed Mandich. The club also wanted to pur- chase sweaters for the Juniors who belonged. After the boys set their goal, they de- cided to sell Christmas cards and necklaces. The money they received from selling these articles wasn't enough, so the officers dis- cussed another project with Mr. Semes. Mr. Semes gave his permission and the club was on its way to sponsor a basketball game be- tween the Seniors and Faculty. Some of the members of the Varsity Club participated in the money-raisina campaian, while those that didn't play, sold tickets to the students. The student body turned out in f'-ll force to see the Seniors beat the Facultv, 57 to 46. This was the first senior team in about five years to send the teachers down in defeat, much to the suprise and disappointment of the faculty and joy of the students. Mr. Siegel, Mr. Karanovich, Mr. Trembath, Mr. Miller, Mr. Kellner, and Anthony Zigaro- vich upheld the Faculty, while Carl Zigarovich, John Mikan, Art Toocheck, Sam Draganac, Stanley Zimmerman, Don Ammon, Bob Green, Joe Schopp, and Ed Cigich played for the Seniors. . The Faculty came out in new uniforms, which strangely resembled pajamas, both summer and winter styles. However, these were discarded when the game began. The Seniors took an early lead of about twenty points which they held for the first half. The teachers rallied, but slowly fell behind again. Many fouls were called on the Sen- iors, whether they had been committed or not, but the Faculty was still left far behind. High scorers were Stan Zimmerman of the Seniors with 14 points and Mr. Siegel of the Faculty with T5 points. The game was very entertaining and en- abled the Varsity Club to almost reach its goal. A few dances were held and the jackets were bought. lst Row Seated, left to right-R. Hiner, A. Washko, A. Toocheck, J. Schopp, K. Matulia, C. Zigarovich, N. Klujaric, R. Faulk, J.

Senior Class Pla A nervous wreck, a strange Frenchman, a fortune teller, and a kidnapper, incorporated together, provided a very hilarious evening for those who witnessed the senior class play entitled The Nervous Wreck or Please, My Nerves. The play was about a young man named Jimmy Washburn, fRonald Crookstonb who had a very bad case of nerves. Ralph Wilson, Jimmy's doctor, CPaul Wislockyj had made arrangements for Jimmy to stay at a small hotel owned by Mrs. Higains, Uudy Cimboraj for a rest. Then the fun began. Staying at the hotel were three quests who were very stranae. One of these was Pierre Bonaparte, a French adagio dancer, CBill Moroccoj who was trying to make amends with his dancing partner. Another was a nice old ladv who was hard of hearina. Her name was Althea Coldwater, alias Bud Hicks, fGil Burkell. He or she, whichever pronouns you want to use, was an escaped kidnapoer wanted bv the police. The third was Madam X, fNancv Maiernikb who owned a magic ring which would arant wishes. The antics of these three people com- bined reallv aave Jimmy Washburn a rest. Nat onlv did he become uoset. but the rest of the hotel was in an uproar. Cynthia, the six- teen year old daughter of Mrs. Higgins, CDar- lene Schrockl who was already a little rattle- brained, became worse, when she obtained posession of Madam X's ring. By wishing with the ring, she complicated matters. Pat Fundis was the older Higgins daughter, Alice. Eddie Higgins, the seventeen year old son, fMyro Dentb who was always getting into trouble, made Jimmy's nerves worse than ever when he threw a carton of firecrackers into a fire, accidentally. Not until the kidnapper is unmasked, Pierre gets a new dancing partner, who, by the way, is Tildy Mae Jenkins, the maid for Mrs. Higgins, fCarole Brownl and Gladvs and J. M. Burr, CDolores Cunningham and Ed Man- dichl come and settle things, does Jimmy find peace. Gladys was the fiancee of Jimmy. J. M. Burr, her father, daesn't approve of Jimmy. Finally, J. M. Burr gives Gladys and Jimmy his blessing. The play was directed by Mr. Lloyd and Elaine Smithbower, who were aided by Juli- ann Bayko and Regina Rossetti as prompters, Lillian Ventura and Josephine Cimprich, who were in charge of make-up, while Carl Zigaro- vich, Ed Cigich, Don Ammon, and Victor Ca- pets were members of the stage crew. Junior Class Pla At their first attempt at drama, the Junior Class presented Aunt Cathie's Cat , a mystery comedy. An old house which two old maid aunts bought was the center of activity. The 'Fun began as two Spanish servants, unknown to the aunts, sneak around the house very mysteriously. One aunt, looking in the cellar for her cat, gets knocked down and hurt. Of course the police are called in and solve the mys- tery. However, instead of only one romance, there are three: the real estate agent and a niece of the aunts, the cop and a servant, and the most surprising the old maid aunt and her ex-boyfriend take over where they had left oft. Zora Yourcheck and Patty Morocco were the two old maid aunts, Jane and Cathie Tremble. Judy Dumm was a niece of the aunts, Margaret Peggy Trem- ble, while Judy lovino played her younger sister, Dorothy Tremble. Jim Barsic took the part of Bill Pryor, a young real estate agent and Bill's sister, Liz Pryor, was played by Sydney Graham. Joan Vince and Joe Rufio were the mysterious Spanish servants. Their son, Juan Garcia, was Nick Cavalancia. Gerald Pasca- dor was the gas man and Michael Gotch played the cop. Sandra Camp was an- other servant, Tilly Pitts, and Miss Walker, a traveling saleswoman, was por- trayed by Carolyn Brown. Mr. Brent, as the owner of the house, was Walter Lawson. Make-up was by Donna Schutz and Joanne Lawrence, prompting by Dor- othy Rishel and Antoinette Paola, and tickets were sold by Nadine Walko, Mary Ann Snopko, and Gary Fresh. On the stage crew were, Nick Kliucaric, Bill Daugh- erty, Leroy Wampler, and Joe Drakulic. The play was under the capable direction of Mr. Lloyd, the faculty advisor. His assistant, Marion Cunningham, did a very fine iob as Student Director. Ist Row, seated, left to right'-J. lovino, A. Paola, M. Cunningham, C. Brown, D. Rishel, J Dumm 2nd Row-N. Walko, Z.

At the close of the school year, every member had earned enough points to make them members of the National Forensic League, and three of the members received awards for their effort and high number of points. Dramatic Club The Dramatic Club consisted of high school students, directed and sponsored by Mr. Lloyd. Several plays were presented to the stu- dent body and the Dramatic Club did its part in trying to put Christ back into Christmas with a simulated radio program, during the Christmas season. The officers for the present year were Myro Dent, President, Bonnie Ruckle, Vice President, Alice Jane Ruckle, Secretary, and Barbara Ruckle, Treasurer. The plays were enjoyed and everyone wishes the club many more successful pro- grams in future years. Brown. l 'lst Row-D. Smith, M Dent C Burkel, H.

Youngwood ., Derry Boro Pitcairn .... 32 Football With the start of the 1955 Football season at Trafford High, it appeared that this would be a very good year for Trafford. All in all, it was a fairly successful season, but probably would have been a much better one if Trafford had not gotten so many bad breaks. Don Karanovich was back for his third term as head mentor, with Harold Ernst and a new- comer to the coaching ranks, William Kellner, as his assistants. The series of bad breaks started when Wayne Mikach severely broke his leg in a pre- season scrimmage game that put him out for the season. The next one came when Stan Zimmer- man, back for his third year on the varsity, was declared ineligible for having too many semes- ters in high school. The Tomahawks traveled to North Hunting- ton for the season's opener, and for the fourth straight year were shut out by the Bulldogs, this time by 43-O, Trafford being no match for the strong North Huntington eleven. The Trafford eleven next traveled to Ligonier where they got some revenge as they beat Lig- onier 25-6, as Sonny Vaccaro ran wild in the sec- ond half. Here again Trafford received another bad break when Ken Matulia had his collar bone broken, and could not play for the remainder of the season. The Tomahawks then made it two in a row as they defeated East McKeesport 6-0 at the los- er's field. The winning and only touchdown being scored on a pass from Vaccaro to Schopp. ln their home opener with West Newton, pass defense proved to be the downfall of the Tomahawks as West Newton scored all their touchdowns on passes, two over forty yards, whipping Trafford 'I9-12. ln their next encounter Trafford met Snow- den Township, a team that proved they were the best in Class B this year. After spotting Snow- den two early touchdowns Trafford came back to take the lead 'l3-'I2, but Snowden came through in championship form as they scored two touch- downs in the last quarter to defeat the Toma- hawks 25-13. For their next contest Trafford traveled to Penn Township for the initial game under their new lights. The lights were all right but Traf- ford iust couldn't seem to get going on the muddy field. Meanwhile Penn Township scored twice, once on a long run, and once on a pass to down the Tomahawks 14-0. Mud seemed to be the downfall of Trafford again as Youngwood consistently moved the ball to defeat the Tomahawks 25-7, marking the fourth loss in a row for the Tomahawks. In this game Joe Ruffo injured his leg and was forced to sit out the last two games. In their next game it seemed as though Trafford was warming up for their finale with Pitcairn as they broke loose in the second half to defeat Derry Boro 18-6, breaking their losing streak of four. For the last game of the season, Trafford was host to Pitcairn, maybe for the last time in their long series, because of the iointure between Pitcairn and Monroeville. But first let's review a little. The game was figured to be an evenly matched affair, considering the almost identical records of the two teams. On Wednesday, Traf- ford students and supporters were shocked to learn that Sonny Vaccaro, star quarterback, Mike Gotch and Joe Drakulic, first string ends, and Jim McHugh, had been declared ineligible for the Pitcairn game because of illegal absence. Even this didn't stop the Trafford team as they went out on the field, confident that they would come off victorious. Pitcairn scored first on a punt return after they had been stopped on the one yard line making the score 6-0 at half time. Trafford came right back in the second half to score on a pass from Lawson to Schopp, to tie the game at 6 all. Trafford got the break they had been waiting for all season, when the Pitcairn center centered the ball out of the end zone for a safety to give Trafford the victory 8-6. Thus, once more the bell came back to Trafford High. Varsit Basketball lst Row-J. Morcoz, M. Vorsofsky, W Lawson J Culllver R DeFronk 2nd Row Mr Kellner W Mor occo, N.

X f Varsity Basketball The Trafford High basketball team under the coaching of Don Karanovich and William Kellner, completed the 1955-56 season with a fine, though not spectacular season record of ll wins and 9 losses, which might have been much better, except for the fact that the Tomahawks lost 6 out of their last 8 games. The Tomahawks started the season out with a bang, with victories over Penn Township and Sewickley Township. The season cpener with Sewickley Township ended in an overtime vic- tory for Trafford. But this three game winning streak was stopped by Penn Township in a game at the victor's court, which was decided by o slim one point margin. Trafford jumped right back on the victory trail, downing Export easily, and then lost a tough contest to Irwin, who later went on to win their section title. Over the Christmas holidays, the busy Traf- ford quintet defeated the Alumni in their annual encounter at the Trafford High School gym. In their first sectional contest, Trafford de- feated East McKeesport, and then traveled to East Huntingdon where they defeated a strong quintet. The Tomahawks next encounter was with their arch-rival, Pitcairn, who defeated the Trafford team after a very exciting game. This defeat left the Tomahawks with a record of one win and one loss in Section XVI. The Tomahawks next defeated North Hun- tingdon in a non-sectional contest, and then came back in a thrilling overtime victory over Edge- wood for their second win in section play. East Pittsburgh was next on the Tomahawk schedule, and proved to be too tough for Trafford, hand- ing them their second section loss. Trafford came right back to defeat Export for the second time in a non-sectional contest. The Tomahawks next traveled to East McKees- port where the fired-up Rams pulled a big upset by defeating the Tomahawks. East Huntingdon then caught the Trafford boys in a slump, and Z.. .. gained revenge for an earlier defeat by handing Trafford their second loss in a row. Then came the most thrilling game of the season. Pitcairn was scheduled to play the Tomahawks at the Trafford gym, and was the only team with a chance to catch East Pittsburgh for the section title. The Tomahawks, who were up for the game, led most of the way, and when the final buzzer sounded, Trafford led by a single point. Trafford next visited West Newton, a new- comer to their schedule, and were defeated by the Eagles, who broke the game wide open in the fourth quarter. For their next contest they traveled to Edgewood, where they were again defeated. This made their section record three wins and four losses. For their last regular scheduled game, Traf- ford found the high-riding East Pittsburgh Sham- rocks invading the Trafford High School gym. The Tomahawks put up a fine struggle, and were leading at half time, but were subdued by the third quarter onslaught of the Section XVI cham- pions. Not only did the Shamrocks win the sec- tion title, but went on to become WPIAL champs, the first time in history that a Section XVI entry had won this title. The regular season had ended, but the Traf- ford quintet was again entered in the Westmore- land County Basketball tournament, which was to be held at the newly constructed St. Vincent College Gymnasium. The Tomahawks success- fully passed the first round contest as they de- feated South Huntingdon to advance to the quar- ter-finals. Their next opponent was Irwin, who again proved too strong for the Tomahawks, and defeated them to eliminate Trafford from the tournament. The Tomahawks will lose only two players from this year's squad: Ed Mandich and Jim Cul- liver. With most of the team returning, the Toma- hawks should have o very good record in the 1956-57 season. 1st Row-Mr. Kellner, S. Plecko, J. Kain, W, Wilson, D. Carditt, F.

This was better than expected of the team after losing all tive starters of last year's team. Among the feats of the Trafford J.V.'s was shutting out tour different teams in the first quarter and scoring as high as 40 points in one half. The first team was comprised of Jerry Marcoz, high scorer with 163 points, followed by Ron Petrichko, 132 points, Bob DeFrank, 129 points, Ken Matulia, 'IO7 points, and Mathew Brletic, lO2 points. The second team consisted of Dan Car- diff, Steve Plecko, Frank Urban, Bill Wilson, and John Kain. Next year's team has hopes of bettering this year's record. They will only lose Jerry Marcoz and Bob DeFrank from the squad. Trafford's Junior High basketball team got off to a slow start in the first half of the season, but picked up gradually as it went along. The first four games of the season were exhibition ones and all four were lost by Trafford, but the boys didn't give up. The exhibition games opened with Traf- ford again defeated, this time by lrwin. The first game was only lost by one point, but the second one by a larger margin. The last of the exhibition games was a defeat by Monroeville. Two of the deciding factors of this game were the large fioor and the fast break of the opposing team. The following eight games were in league competition. Trafford split even by winning four and losing four. The first two league games were with East McKeesport and our rival school, Pitcairn. Trafford was defeated in both of these con- tests by very slight margins. Franklin Township held first place in the section when they came to Trafford, but the mighty Tomahawks stopped them with a de- feat of 48-28. Trafford then lost a disappointing game with Wilmerding. After leading for three quarters, the game was lost in the last few remaining seconds. Lincoln Park then defeated Trafford in the next game, which was an exhibition one. The opponents had complete control because of their height and rebounding ability. East McKeesport then was defeated, 25-2l. Pitcairn was our next opponent, and the Tomahawks took control of this one. ln the next game, by defeating Franklin Township, 35-32, Trafford entered a first place tie with Wilmerding. The boys tried their best during the title game with Wilmerding, but lost 40-33. The captain, Jim Johnston, was high scorer of the year with 155 points. Jim also estab- lished a new record for the most number of points scored in one game for a iunior high player. He scored 21 points against Franklin Township. Kenny Simmons was the second highest scorer with 64 points and Bob Ference was a close third with 60 points. In spite of the fact that the team didn't win the section title, they came very close. This year developed good experience for the boys in coming years. Junior High Basketball Row-B. Halgas, C. Mandich, E. Gallagher, W. Cardiff, T. Lawson, M. Martino. 2nd Row-D. Graf- fius, J.

The coach of the wrestling team, Mr. Ruckle, said this is one sport where you can't be too small or too large. On the Varsity team the weights were from 85 pounds to 185 pounds. The weight on the Junior High team went down to about 60 pounds. Even though the school board just voted wrestling in this year, a good number ot boys went out for the sport. On the Varsity team were Ray Hiner, Myro Dent, Nick Kliucaric, Gerald Pascador, Arnold Richey, Bill Garvis, John Kashawlic, Jim Smith, Jim McHugh, Bob Hydac, Don Wracker, Bernie Halgas, Bill Jen- kins, Dennis Geary, and Larry Brown. Those on the Junior High team were Jim Jones, Bill Mathias, Bob Westwood, Dennis Surmacz, Paul Burkett, Bob Nigrini, Bill McHugh, Charles Des- mond, Tom Grande, Dean Allen, Albert George, Stan Novak, and Gilbert Lentz. Mr. Ruckle expects an even larger turnout next year. The schedule for this year was a good start. There was an inter-team exhibition in January for the public, which drew a large crowd. There were two exhibitions with Irwin and one with Greensburg. On the last day of the season, there was another exhibition for the sixth, seventh, and eighth grade students, mainly to give them an idea of wrestling, and to get them interested in the sport. The team plans to try to get a schedule and enter WPIAL competition if all the weight classes are occupied. They would also like to enter a Junior High team in competition. Mr. Ruckle and next year's team hope to be as successful as TraFford's T930 team.

Zimmerman, P. Fundis, E. Smith- bower, W. Morocco. t , Q oments To Remember We, the i956 Senior Class of Trafford High School, have iust re- ceived our diplomas and are about ready to depart forever from these dear old battered walls of our alma mater. But wait, we cannot leave without reminiscing over some of the past experiences of our high school career. I Since this is the age of Bridey Murphy and hypnosis, perhaps we can be taken back into time to that day in September, 1952, when sixty-eight notorious and intelligent ? students entered the sacred halls of T.H.S. to begin a wonderful high school career. To keep this thundering herd of sheep in wolves clothing in check, two kind shepherds, Mr, Miller and Mr. Trembath were appointed as our guardians and guides. Both scientific and mathematical formulas were used to try to slow us down, but our two guardians soon found out that it was useless. In attempt to keep ourselves in some kind of organization, we chose a group of officers to govern us. These were: Pat DiCesare- President, Bill Morocco-V. President, Darlene Schrock-Secretary, and Dolores Traficante-Treasurer. To represent us in the Student Council, we chose Tom Davis, Arthur Toocheck, Dolores Traficante, and Julionn Bayko. After a few weeks, we found that it was going to be tougher than we thought. The commercial students of our ranks were all tangled up in some kind of course called J.B.T., while the academic students were fighting desperately to conquer Miss Bierer's Latin I. lt wasn't long until we found that two of our classmates had strong voices and fairly large mouths. This was proved especially on the football field and basketball court, for we are referring to our two cheerleaders, Juliann Bayko and Norma Jean Bradley. During the year, our class was well represented in the field of sports. Sam Draganac carried our banner on the grid-iron, Ed Cigich upheld our honor in basketball, Paul Wislocky and Carl Zigarovich were members of the T.H.S. baseball team, while Ray Hiner, Ronald Crookston, Myro Dent, Donn Smith, and Ed Cigich participated in track. Dolores Traficante was chosen as one representative in the ma- iorette corps. Other members of our class were members of the band and chorus. By mid-semester we were getting into the swing of things and at the end of the term we found that all of our ranks had conquered the first year of high school work and were looking forward to our Sophomore year. Il When we returned as Sophomores we found that certain im. provements had been made on our wonderful building, giving us a greater initiative to work during the coming year. This year we received two new guardians. They were Miss Re- maley and Mrs. Gilbert fwho was at that time still Miss Shaulis, poor guyl. Although they were both members of the feminine sex, we thought we had better watch our step for they both had strong hands, Miss Remaley developing hers in Physical Education classes and Mrs. Gilbert developing hers by punching the keys of a computing machine. The first thing on the agenda was to elect a new group of officers to lead us. We did this with promptness and selected Dolores Cun- ningham, Joyce Simmons, Barbara Kopnitsky, and Pat Fundis. Dar- lene Schrock, Norma Jean Bradley, Paul Mathias, and John Chiappetti represented us in the Student Council. At the end of the first semester we began to realize that we had better begin to fill our treasure chest, for in a year and a half we would be responsible for a Junior-Senior prom. With this in mind and led by our capable homeroom captains, we set out upon our first profit making campaign, a magazine sale. We netted approximately S150 in our first sale. During the course of the year we gained two new students, Dorothy Smith and Stanley Zimmerman. Once again our class was well represented in T.H.S. athletics. Larry McCoy, Stanley Zimmerman, Ray Hiner, and Carl Zigarovich, beat out their brains on the football field. Paul Wislocky, Ed Man- dich, Joe Barsic, and Carl Zigarovich were members of the T.H.S, quin- tet. On our baseball team we placed Paul Wislocky and Stan Zim- merman, while Bucky Capets, Stan Zimmerman, Donn Smith, and Myro Dent showed their ability on the track field. Not only did we shine in the field of sports, but also in the field of music. Paul Wislocky represented our class and our school at County Chorus. From here he went to District Chorus and then became the first student from T. H. S. to be chosen to attend State Chorus. Also many of our ranks participated in band and Chorus. Nancy Maiernik was chosen as the other maiorette of our class. Another classmate, Gil Burkel, was the first member to partici- pate actively on the debate team. ln February, our annual minstrel was presented and Joe Barsic held our honor high by proving that he was a capable end man. Several other members of our class showed their talents by also per- forming. The beauty and Iavliness of our class was finally put intomtltle limelight when Norma Jean Bradley and Juliann Bayko were Qlkected as the Sophomore May Queen Attendants to adorn the May court. After the May Queen crowning, we settled back to the 'last month of school, took our final exams, and after we had received our report cards, some of us exclaimed, Thank goodness, I passed. Ill After what seemed to be a very short summer, we found our- selves back in school, this time as Juniors. This year we found that our teachers were really getting desperate for they assigned another math teacher and a former wrestling coach to us. CWe weren't that bad, were we?J Of course, by now you've guessed who they are, Mr. Lloyd and Mr. Ruckle. We were really scared. We didn't know what type of hold Mr. Ruckle would use on us if we didn't behave, and after a few days in Mr. Lloyd's class, we were afraid we would be missing a few students. It seems Mr. Lloyd likes to string cord up all over the front of the room when teaching Solid Geometry. We didn't know when we would find one of our classmates all tangled up or perhaps even hung. As usual we began the year by electing our class officers. This year we had to be doubly sure that we choose a group of capable persons, for this was the year of our first class play and the Prom. We chose Paul Mathias, Patty Fundis, Barbara Kopnitsky, and Ken Noll to the positions of President, Veep, Secretary, and Treasurer respect- ively. Our Student Council representatives were Pat Fundis, Margie Bartakovich, George Kurtz, and Arthur Toocheck. We found that we had two new students to add to our ranks. They were Rose Mazzochetti and Don Ammon. Now that the Prom was only eight months away, we still needed a large amount of money and so we again decided to turn salesmen and sell magazines. This time, led by our class officers and our magazine captains, Darlene Schrock and Donn Smith, we proved our- selves super salesmen, as we set a new all time high for sales. We sold a total of 5765.09 worth of magazines, giving us a net profit of 526833. We also sold such things as sweat shirts, combs and hats. One day in late February, we were told that Wedding SpeIls , a farce, had been chosen as our first class play. With the aid of Mr. Lloyd, our director, we showed our acting ability. No one can ever forget Charlie Cooney fBilI Moroccoi, who always said the wrong things at the wrong time, or giddy Mrs. Pettingill CDarlene Schrocki, or Reeves, the English butler, CGil Burkell, or the moving clock. We'lI never forget the famous line, Have a peanut or a piece of candy whenever someone couldn't remember his correct line. We left our mark as -thespians, although it is doubtful whether any of us will make it to Hollywood or Broadway. The entire cast included: Nancy Maiernik, Ed Mandich, Gil Burkel, Dolores Cunningham, Rose Marie Kuchta, Tom Davis, Joyce Simmons, Carole Brown, Dolores Traficante, Darlene Schrock, Pat DiCesore and Bill Morocco. Judy Cimbora was the student director. Next came the biggest task of our high school career, the Junior- Senior Prom. It was indeed a challenge and we accepted it and began working together until we had reached our goal and had pro- duced the best prom in T. H. S. history. We chose Cinderella for our theme and our committees permitted us to dance to the music of Buddy Kirk and his orchestra in a fantasy of fairyland in the huge ballroom of the palace. There was even a pumpkin coach drawn by a white horse. During the year we elected several of our classmates to different honors. Paul Mathias and Norma Jean Bradley were elected King and Queen of Hearts and reigned at the Sweetheart Dance, while Barbara Kopnitsky and Nancy Maiernik represented us as May Queen attendants in the May Festival. Our class was the answer to an athletic coach's prayer, for we sent Stan Zimmerman, Ray Hiner, John Doperak, Ed Cigich, Carl Zig- arovich, and Pat DiCesare to the football squad, Ed Mandich, Bob Green, Stan Zimmerman, Paul Wislocky, Ed Cigich, and Carl Zigaro- vich to the T.H.S. quintet: Ed Mandich, Ray Hiner, Paul Wislocky, John Doperak, and Art Toocheck to the baseball diamond and Stan Zimmerman, Myro Dent, Donn Smith, Don Ammon, and Ed Cigich to the track team. Once again our man with the voice , Paul Wislocky, went to county and district chorus, and once again Joe Barsic, along with John Mikan, performed as endmen in the annual minstrel. Myro Deht served as interlocutor. In the field of scholarship, twelve persons from our ranks were inducted into the National Honor Society. They were as follows: Dolores Cunningham, Darlene Schrock, Pat Fundis, Margie Bartakovich, Elaine Smithbower, Nancy Yanuso, Carole Brown, Gil Burkel, Myro Dent, George Kurtz, Ronald Crookston, and Joe Stanisic. Also, Gil Burkel was the first T. H.S. student to take first place in the county in the Physically Handicapped essay contest. Finally, we found ourselves at the end of the year and once again all of us received our promotion slips. IV At last we were the mighty seniors of Trafford High and were ready to face our final nine months of high school. This year Miss Bierer and Mr. Kellner were assigned to keep watch over us. If we clidn't watch our step, Miss Bierer would always add a few more briefs or themes to the list per six weeks, or shove a little extra English literature down our throats. We once again found that we had gained another new student, Ken Walters, from Penn Township. We next chose our officers for the year. Bill Morocco was chosen as presiding officer, Pat Funclis, vice president, Elaine Smith- bower, secretary: and Stan Zimmerman, treasurer. Then our eyes turned to playing real politics, for a Student Coun- cil president had to be chosen from our ranks. We chose as nominees, Pat Fundis, Norma Jean Bradley, Pot DiCesore and Stan Zimmerman. During the ensuing days, vigorous campaigning was done by all the candidates. Then came election day and after all the votes had been tabulated, Stanley Zimmerman had been elected president. Elaine Smithbower, Barbara Kopnitsky, Bill Morocco, and Don Ammon were elected to represent each homeroom in the Student Council. Next came the Senior Class Play. Mr. Lloyd, our director, cg a three act comedy entitled, Please, My Nerves. With the defi- ence gained in our Junior Play and the success at selling tickets, our play was the best in T. H. S. history. None of us can forget the hap- penings which caused Jimmy Washburn CRonaId Crookstonl, to become a nervous wreck or the lively dancing done by Pierre Bona- parte CBilI Moroccol, a French adagio dancer. Then there was the disguised kidnapper, Bud Hicks, alias Althea Coldwater' fGiI Burkell, and the gypsy fortune teller, Madam X fNancy Maierniki. Others in the cast included Judy Cimbora, Carole Brown, Dolores Cunning- ham, Paul Wislocky, Myro Dent, Pat Fundis, Ed Mandich, and Darlene Schrock. The play was directed very capably by our student director, Elaine Smithbower, About this time, Norma Jean Bradley and Joe Schopp were chosen Daisy Mae and Lil' Abner to reign at the annual Sadie Hawkins Day dance. Not all of our players appeared on the stage, however, for Joe Schopp, John Doperak, Ray Hiner, and Carl Zigarovich played their roll on the football field, while Ed Mandich starred on the basketball team. In baseball, our class sent six warriors to the diamond. They were Art Toocheck Canother Bob Felleri, Carl Zigarovich fKiner, the secondl, John Doperak fStan, the Mani, Paul Wislocky fDuke Sniderl, Ray Hiner iYogi Berrai, and Ed Mandich fFrank Thomasi. Myro Dent, Donn Smith, and Don Ammon upheld our honor on the cinder path. In music, Joe Barsic, became the first T. H. S. student to attend State Band while I8 other classmates participated in band. Several of our number also attended County Chorus. In the field of journalism, Darlene Schrock edited the Reflector, while Gil Burkel and Dolores Cunningham edited the Tomahawk. Also several members of the Tomahawk editorial staff were inducted into Quill and Scroll. V Our class was well represented in Forensics also, for Gil Burkel and Myro Dent were the first two students from T. H.S. to receive the degree of distinction for gaining over 200 points in the National Forensic League. Finally after a surprise snow in middle March, the weather brightened and Spring was really here. With the coming of Spring, we think of the May Crowning and sweet Miss Nancy-Nancy Maiernik-as Queen of May. Juliann Bayko and Pat Fundis served as Senior attendants in the court. We closed our final year with the Prom, Baccalaureate, Senior- Faculty Picnic, and Commencement. Oh, here I am telling the whole story. Well, I guess there is no need for a hypnotist, so we'll let Bridey Murphy and the 'I8th century alone, and make our departure. As we go our various ways, we may forget each other individually, but we will always remember the friendships we've had among classmates and teachers and most of all, we will remember these battered, but hallowed halls, where we built the foundation stones of our life and spent the best years ever.

We, the Senior Class of 1956, being of sound mind l?l and sound body GD, do solemnly make this our last will and testament. It is our wish before we leave this school in peace or pieces, that we leave these individual traits and peculiarities to the lower classmen.
