Turtle Creek High School Tilrtle Creek, Pennsylvania uremnrh During the past three years at Turtle Creek High School, we have had many expe- riences which have made deep impressions in our memories. The five images which we think will be remembered most clearly are a key, a class ring, an activitiesa pin, a refereeis whistle, and a crown. Each of these symbolizes many important events in our high school life which have helped to mold our lives, and which we know will assist us in the achievement of our goals in the future. The key represents three years of knowledge and experience gained in textbooks and from teachers and the gay times we had learning. This knowledge may open many doors to opportunities in the future. The class ring is a symbol of more than two hundred students in our senior class, full of laughter and seriousness, who have worked diligently to make our Snowball DancefiMemorieshDance; our sophomore, junior, and senior plays; and our prom successes. The activities7 pin is symbolic of hours of hard work and fun spent by our seniors helping with the dances, plays, assemblies, water shows, newspapers, and yearbook. The refereeis whistle reminds us of the colorful football games, track meets and basketball games which our spirited TC. cheering section witnessed. The crown brings back memories of the first coronation ball held by our class: the snowball dance; and the most memorable one of all: the iiMemorieshCoronation Ball. Remember the excitement that filled the air as our ctMemoriesli Queen was about to be announced. The thrill of the proms the hilarious halloween masquerade ball and the many other dances are represented by the crown. And so in the future years when a key, a crown a ring, an activities pin or a referees whistle causes us to reminisce we hope that memories of Turtle Creek will fill our minds. If the Victories and defeats the happiness and sadness the beloved faces and familiar places associated with Turtle Creek High come ba to us leaf through this annual, then it has achieved its purpose. jtwwx AW - MW 1 U 0311 0:1: y i w - . CW in MM To our Alma Mater, Turtle Creek High School, we, the Senior Class of 1961, dedicate our 11Memoriesfl For many years, Turtle Creek High School has been among the top schools of Allegheny County. Some students have acquired fame; some have obtained 1 excellent jobs in the world; but most assuredly, every student has i gained valuable experience from his years at Turtle Creek High 1 School. l We can never express our appreciation to the faculty and admin- . istration for the guidance they have given us. How many times there have been when we,ve had to turn to them for help! They l were willing to offer their advice for any project we undertook and backed us faithfully. To the retiring faculty members we say a fond farewell. Each one 1 has given of himself to make Turtle Creek High School a better 1 school. As they linish their last year here, we hope they have enjoyed having us students as much as we have enjoyed having them. We wish them the best of everything in the future. ngv' Jeka, l 1 .

Now that were seniors about to graduate, it seems impossible that we were once alarmed at the thought of facing what we have found to be the three most wonderful years in our lives. Looking back on these three years, our minds are showered with memories. Even though our sophomore and junior years were Blled with many unforgettable things, our senior year will always be above them for giving us our most tangent memories.

They are a very familiar part of the band during football season and add much color and zest to everything in which they perform. The faculty chooses the ma- jorettes, and the head is Chosen by the majorettes themselves. Lynn Hamilton was selected head majorette this year. The Creek- erettes, as they are called at T.C., always do a wonderful job, and are appreciated by all. Our girls received new dress uniforms this year when the band members got theirs. For pep meetings they wear their summer uni- forms. W611 always remember the long line of blue-and-white-clad girls with fingers Hying on sparkling bato'ns. The Cheerleaders were established by the physical education teachers in 1918. The first Cheerleader was a man named Frosty Miller. Girls were not introduced as cheerleaders until 1940. Their purpose is to en- courage school spirit, to provide an activity in which the entire student body can participate, and to provide a cheering section for the inter-scholastic athletic teams. The cheerleaders are Chosen every spring by a group representing the faculty, the retiring cheer- leaders, and the physical education teachers. They are judged by the following points: neatness, friendliness, ability to follow the routines, grades, sportsmanship, and ability to cooperate. In 1959 a junior varsity squad was formed, and a tumbler called TTThe Creeker Blue DeviY, was added to the varsity squad. Remember? e TC. High School, hats off to thee.

The hrst Senior Activities Committee was organized in 1939 by Mr. William Lewis, then senior class adviser. The purposes of the committee are to raise money for the senior class and to plan social afiairs in the school. The activities committee held many dances, and also conducted campaigns to sell peanut brittle, 9G0, Creekersi, stickers, and 9G0 TC? ties to help raise money for the 1961 yearbook. Such memorable dances as the Halloween Dance and the Christmas Dance, with its Christmas trees and mistletoe, were sponsored by the Senior Activities Committee. The Senior Day Program was planned through the combined efforts of the committee and the annual board. To become a member of the committee, the student must first submit his name to Mr. Lazaro, the senior class adviser; then he must earn fifteen credits by selling peanut brittle. The class ochers serve as offi- cers 0f the committee. After each weekly meeting representatives report the proceedings to their home- rooms. They are responsible for keeping the committee and the homerooms informed as to the requests, sug- gestions and plans of the senior class. 84 Dombrosky, Pat Daugherty, Verne Stewart, JoAnn Mc- Cleskey, Linda Belisky, Dixie Burnett, Carol Sikora, Mary Ellen Chamberlain, Kathy Hughes.

JUNIOR ACTIVITIES COMMITTEE The junior class of Turtle Creek High School formed its activities committee in 1950. Since that time, this organization has handled the affairs of the class very capably. Mr. Michaels, their adviser, has used magazine sales campaigns as the chief money- making plan for several years. Any student who wishes to become a member of the committee must sell twenty dollars, worth of magazine subscriptions dur- ing the ten-day period. The purposes of this commit- tee are the same as those of the Senior Activities Com- mittee. In addition the committee sponsors the junior prom, which was held May 19, 1961, at the Churchill Country Club. SOPHOMORE ACTIVITIES COMMITTEE This was Mrs. Campbellfs first year as sophomore class adviser. She formed the Sophomore Activities Committee along the plans of those of the upperclass- men. The Sophomore Activities Committee was first organized in 1953 and has been continued through the years. Every sophomore homeroom officer is a member of the committee. In addition, two representatives are chosen from each homeroom. The main project of the committee is the Snowball Dance, at which the Sopho- more King and Queen are crowned.

The purposes of the club are to prepare the members for college compe- tition, to help them acquire additional information about chemistry, to make the members aware of the laboratory operations of industrial laboratories, and to motivate them toward chemistry as a career. The members were Chosen mainly by their academic standing and then on a voluntary basis. The ad- vanced chemists have learned the use of the ana- lytical balance, they have studied nuclear chemistry, and they have done many advanced experiments in order to prepare for college science. Students in the club have the opportunity to experiment on their own rather than under direct supervision. They learn self-reliance and responsibility in working with chemicals.

The dinner began at 6:30 with a choice of either shrimp or harm for the main dish. Dancing started at 8:00, when the floor became a maze of pastel gowns. Music for the evening was provided by Tommy Konnc and his orchestra. A number of faculty members and students attended the gala affair. For entertainment the Vogue Ter- race presented a singer, a dancer, and a comedian. The whole school joined in praising the Class of 1961 for presenting one of the rrost suc- cessful proms. Whenever the students think of the junior prom of 1960, the theme song from mMy Fair Lady! will come to their minds . . .

Our record for the t season doesntt look good, but anyone reading the scores realizes only that we lost, and nothing more. Scores do not relate to the reader the hours of prac- tice, the disappointment of the team, the hopes of the students. We never gave up hope that our boys would pull through a victory.

The 1961 squad proved this statement, for every game saw a good crowd behind it. The blue and white hoopsters started out as a championship team, but somehow couldrft come through with the Sec- tion 7-A title. Led by Jim McNulty, their 6'4 captain, our boys came from behind in many games to finish on top. Almost every game of the season was filled with excitement and anxiety. Throughout the gymnasium, students could be seen clenching their fists, bit- ing their nails, and screaming till they could scream no longer. The student body supported the team and displayed true Turtle Creek High School spirit. The Rice Cagers certainly tried their best, and can be commended for their excellent sportsmanship, their co-oper- ative teamwork, and their champion ball-playing. Joe Homony and Jim McNulty fight for possession of the ball in a fast- moving game. This game was typical of the 1961 basketball season. 125 Our senior basketball stars and the other boys on the DON CIFRA - GUARD hf.

Forming a blue and white TC. on the l'lGlCl, our band plays our Alma Mater, symbol of the loyalty of our students to their school. Weill sing the Alma Mater for the last time as seniors at our graduation. May this occasion always have a lasting impression, and may we never forget our years at Turtle Creek High School. The Class of 1961 will long be remembered by many who follow in our footsteps. To these people we give our heartfelt wishes for as much success and happiness as we had in our year as seniors. We, as seniors, have many new experiences to face as we set forth into the world. Some of us will go on to school, others to work, and some will marry and have families. With these tasks come responsibilities.
