Text from Pages 1 - 104 of the 1946 volume:

DL 1946 UNION HIGH SCHOOL BURGETTSTOWN, PA. i oreusor j w. E have endeavored in this the 1946 U to keep alive the memories of our four years in Union. With the world still in an unsettled condition, our task has not been an easy one. Without the co-operation of the printers, the photographers, the student body, the faculty, cur parents, and the generous business- men, the production of this annual would not have been possible. This year's annual is the largest ever produced at Union. The U Staff has striven to make our annual different. We have divided the book into five sections. Introducing each section of the book is the dove of peace. It is our hope that all future annuals may be produced under peacetime conditions. We sincerely trust that this book will always re- main one of our most cherished possessions. The U Staff is very proud to present the 1946 U . w. E dedicate this our 1946 U to Mr. William P. Miller, whose good sense of humor, earnest co-operation, pleasing personality, and sincere interest have made him one of Union's most outstanding teachers. Mr Miller has served Union for ten years as a mathematics and science teacher, faculty manager of athletics, assistant principal, and during the past year he has filled the roll of acting principal. Mr. Miller is advisor to the student council. The students are proud to call him friend. 3 Union High School is proud of its World War II Honor Roll which was presented to the school by our predecessors, the Class of '45. This plaque graces the wall of the school's main front corridor. Memories of this roll will linger long in the minds of the present student body. From day to day the students pause on their way to class to read the names of those graduates who served their country. Nineteen names are starred for having made the supreme sacrifice of their lives. We are honored that Union has this permanent memorial to our alumni. 4 romoters of educational development Noon hour football Mr. McGregor Coaches Rich and Bovan Archers: Sauter and Lewis 5 TENNYSON, H.

THE BOARD OF EDUCATION With the construction of Union High School's building in 1917, it became necessary to organ- ize a board to transact any business pertaining to the operation and maintenance of the school. The Burgettstown Smith Township Joint School Board was formed for this purpose. The Board is composed of a total member- ship of twelve; five members are from the Bur- gettstown Borough, and seven from Smith Township. These Board members are elected by popular vote for a six-year term. With every second year two new members are elected; re-elections are allowed. Members can serve more than six years on the Board. If a member resigns, another is appointed by the Board to finish his term. Current meetings are held on the second Tuesday of every month. At these meetings any thing concerning the operation of Union High School is discussed and acted upon. The School Board engaged building inspectors to come to the school this year and make plans for building improvements and constructions. Each school district pays for these operational costs through the School Board according to the num- ber of pupils enrolled at Union from the respec- tive districts. Pupils who attend Union from districts not included in the Joint School Board pay a monthly tuition fee to the Board. This organization has given satisfactory service to the Union High School students for the past twenty-nine years. We appreciate their cooperation. 10 E agerly our students seek to gain the knowledge that makes them useful citizens u Tri-Hi-Y feoures U Staff cast and hats Commercial Club initiation Tri-Hi-Y pep meeting cast ALVAREZ, MATILDA Tillie A.

We have been in school for the entire length of the war. Now, upon graduation, we are con- fronted with the important problems of an out- standing nation in a world of chaos. Are we ready to step into the positions of responsibility, to help devise and plan our nation's part in the peace? Two hundred one shy and awkward Fresh- men entered high school on September 8, 1942. We were as frightened and nervous as any pre- vious class. After a few weeks of blunders, we overcame our bashfulness and nervousness. We elected for President—Jack Miller, for Vice President—Chris Maropis, for Secretary—Betty Cowden, for Treasurer—Audrey Russell. At the class Halloween Party, October 27th, we became acquainted. We felt more at ease as we took part in clubs and assembly programs. On September 7, 1943, 163 boys and girls returned to take the name of sophomores. We organized with the following officers—President —Jim Lee, Vice President—Chris Maropis, Sec- retary-Treasurer—Erma Marvich. Our Valen- tine Party was the event of the year for us. During the year, we proved our patriotism by contributing the most money toward the Jeep Campaign sponsored by the Tri-Hi-Y. On September 7, 1944 we became a group of 152 Juniors. Upper classmen! How proud we were with that title! Again we chose Jim Lee for President, Chris Maropis for Vice Presi- dent, and Betty Cowden for Secretary-Treasurer. The first major event during the year was January 23rd., when our committee met with representatives from the companies to choose our class rings. We finally agreed that Josten's offered us the neatest rings. On April 12, 1945 our class play Act Your Age , under the direction of Miss Eleanor Pusa- teri, proved a roaring success. Tink Adding- ton and Johnny Ratkovich, two sailors, became tangled in the nets cast by Mary Lou Ritz and Mary Jane McWhorter. Evelyn Strongosky will be remembered as the dual personality, Little Elsie and Aunt Sandra . Both Jean Sa- heim and Nancy Cikovec displayed skill as the housemaids by day and lady wrestlers by night. Keith Gaines was messengei boy and the voice of the parrot, while Sophie Pappas and Betty Cowden played the parts of the teen-age girls' mothers. Jack Miller portrayed the part of Commander Stone. The Junior Class presented the Junior-Sen- ior Prom on May 18, 1945. Lee Barrett fur- nished the music in a Mexican Hat Dance atmos- phere. The gym was camouflaged with a large Mexican Hat, revolving in the center, a wishing well in one corner, and the Cafe Da Le Palmas in another. The gym balconies were hidden by miniature Spanish balconies covered with ivy and roses. One of our class artists, Mac Padolski, sketched scenes from Old Mexico on the front walls. One hundred sixteen came back eagerly to claim the title of Seniors; with the title we ac- cepted the work and responsibilities, the fun, and good times. Jim Lee was reelected Presi- dent; Johnny Ratkovich, Vice President; and Betty Cowden, Secretary-Treasurer. Janey's One Track Mind was presented by our class on November 29, 1945, directed by Miss Cruikshank and Miss Strong. The antics of Bummy Post (Ruth Lee Clair) and Roger Wil- son (Bill Kidd) caused the audience to chuckle time and again. In the glamour class. Miss Gib- son (Olga Fernandez) offered many helpful hints to her eager students—Honey Bates (Louise Gru- ber) I am taking in glorious air ; Kate Donovan (Evelyn Strongosky) but I like to talk about my- self, too ; Myra (Rosalyn Culley) Isn't the moon- light romantic? ; Luella Smith (Joan Linn) I haven't lost any this week ; Annabelle Wilson (Pauline Noble) Mrs. Post, you aren't going to let Bummy hit me, are you? ; and Mrs. Post (Betty Cowden) Chicory Chick . Tommy Myers (Jack Miller) and Alice Harvey (Mary Lou Ritz), George Browne (Johnny Ratkovich) and Muriel Browne (Dolores Jancart), and Stuart Hunter (Bill McCaffery) and Janey Browne (Bea McCon- aughey) portray three typically American couples. Martin Richardson (Keith Gaines) State Trooper Harrity (Stanley Pensak) and Stage Manager, Butch Blaine helped with the play. Our Senior year proved to be a very busy one, with the selection of class invitations, the photographing of Seniors, and the distribution of namecards. Miss Cruikshank kept us busy with themes and term papers. Mr. Bovan amused us by sponsoring contests for prize-win- ning letters to the editor. Our outstanding classmates in sports were: Basketball— Moe Dowler, Chris Maropis, Jim Lee, Lou Dellapina, and John Ratkovich. Base- ball—Moe, Chris, Lou, and Jim. Football—Pete Coleman, John Dalfol, Lou , Chris , Stanley Pensak, George Stiak, Joe Rozmus, and John Gretsky. Our class found particular satisfaction in planning our gift to the school. The committee, with chairman. Jack Miller, served the wishes of the class in the selection of our token of re- membrance to Union. Our class party, March 1, 1946 will not soon be forgotten by any of us because of the music by Paul Campbell and his orchestra; each tried to make it the best of all class parties. Armed only with the foundation and experi- ence we have gained at Union, we will step into this post war world prepared to meet the future with determination. We have high hopes that we will help steer our nation in a straight course. We have faith in ourselves and our abilities to reconstruct a peaceful world. 27 THE JUNIOR CLASS The Junior Class this year, through its indi- vidual and group action, has participated eag- erly and willingly in the various club and sport activities Their success in these fields may be due to the noteworthy leadership displayed by their chosen officers. The President for two suc- cessive years. Bill Morris, earned his place on the varsity basketball team. With an equal amount of skill, he held the position of first baseman on the baseball team. The Vice-President, Ascen- sion Campos, who has been an officer for all three years, also earned his place on the grid- iron. Secretary-Treasurer, Nova Cowden, was another leader among her classmates and a member of the Tri-Hi-Y. Not only can the successful sports and club activities be attributed to the officers, each and every class member has been equally respon- sible. The whole student body looked upon Wade Buckwalter, Ascension Campos, John Col- lins, James Ross, and Marko Skof with admira- tion for the teamwork they displayed on the foot- ball field. Other Juniors who found places of re- serve on the squad were Robert Ceccato, Angel Gonzalez, George Gratchen, John Tobin, Joe Pauchnik, Jack Shearson, Charles Long, Ed Bitt- ner, and Jewell Robinson. Jack Brunner, one of the student managers of the football team, Jim Ross, and Joe Pauchnik were also skillful on the basketball floor. Rabbit Lee, Rusty Col- lins, Jack Brunner, and Don Downer (student manager) were also loyal reserves in basketball. During the baseball season, Jim Ross, as pitcher, Don Downer, as shortstop, Wade Buckwalter, as outfielder, and Joe Pauchnik were active, loyal team members. John Collins was the Junior representative on the Athletic Council. Is it any wonder the Juniors were proud of their boys? The Junior Class has further reason to be proud—Mary Golubofsky, their last year's Sec- retary-Treasurer, was elected Snow Ball Queen of Union High by popular vote of the student body. The affair was sponsored by the Junior Home Economics Club. The coronation took place on December 21st, at a dance given in honor of the newly elected Queen. Her attend- ants, also chosen by the student body, were Pauline Noble, Jean Christopher, Lois Gregory, and Melva Melton. The selection of rings from the Balfour Com- pany was a big event for the Juniors. The fol- lowing committee members are to be com- mended for their good taste: Thelma McCloskey, Nova Cowden, Jean Young, Dolores Kubovic, Jim Gilson, Richard Sutton, Ascension Campos, and Bill Morris. About the first of May, secret meetings of the Junior-Senior Prom Committees were fre- quent. The orchestra committee with John Col- lins, Chairman, had already chosen their orches- tra for May 17th. Jean Young, Dolores Kubovic, Jack Brunner, and Bill Morris helped select the orchestra. The atmosphere assumed a hushed, mysterious air and the Juniors posted signs No Trespassing on the doors to the gymnasium. Oh, yes, Prom time! The decoration committee —Freda Dowler, Anita Garcia, Charlotte Pintar, Donna Skinner, Dorothy Wonsevicz, John Col- lins, Don Downer, Tom Harper, Marko Skoff, James Gilson, Bill Lee, Lawrence Phillis, and Bill Morris—seemed to be cooking something spe- cial, a pleasant surprise for both Seniors and Juniors. Quite a few new Junior teachers were added to the faculty. Our acquaintance with Miss Straitiff, a Junior report room teacher, was brief but pleasant; only reluctantly did we bid farewell to her. Mr. Colesberry returned from the Navy to resume his place with the Juniors in his homeroom. Miss O'Brien, another new- comer to our school, kept the Juniors busy watch- ing their grammar and writing themes. She also accepted the responsibility of supervising the Hi-Lite Staff by starting a journalism class to pre- pare the staff for work with our new printed school paper. Miss Kushner returned to the Jun- iors with her smiling face and pretty dimple. (The envy of all the Junior girls!) Mr. Lewis again accepted the counseling of the Junior Class by offering every piece of advice to them concerning their school work and extra curricular activities. June Mad , the Junior play, received much attention and gained many compliments for the Juniors and the entire student body. These activities reveal the co-operative, and energetic natures of the Juniors. They have shown that they are prepared to take the torch of Senior-hood passed to them by the graduat- ing class. 28 JUNIORS 1st Row—Mr. Lewis, G. Goodwin, A. Enos, R. Campos, V. Loncaric, T.

They were quite different from the class of inexperienced Freshmen they had been last year. Instead of the shy, nervous attitudes, they assumed calm, refined and poised actions. They chose the following class officers: President, Anthony Valenti; Vice President, Anna Sheraskey; Secretary-Treasurer, Donald Cun- ningham. Tony is admired by all his classmates for his high scholastic standing, which proves his capability of handling the office of class president. Anna's popularity reflects her sunny nature. Regardless of where or when you see her, you can be sure she'll greet you with a cheerful smile. Donnie Cunningham, one of the class's half pints , finds getting along well with others an easy assignment. He is experi- enced at the art of telling jokes and enjoys roll- ing out our street beat on the drums. John Stankovich, Ray Tustin, and John Kosovec ex- hibited skill and ambition which will entitle them to important spots on Union's football team in the near future. Skip Whalen performed the duties of Student Manager for both football and basketball while Dhans and Darras make good showings on the B-Squad of our basketball team. The class recognizes future talent among their midst in Bunny Stevenson, a skilled pian- ist, whom they are proud to claim their own. On February 14th, the Sophomore Valentine Party was held in the gymnasium. Due to the co-operation of the following class members, the evening was an enjoyable one: Entertainment: Patte McCoy, Henry Boni, Loretta Boni, Bunny Stevenson, Peggy Gillespie, and Donald Fletcher. Refreshment: Elsie Toth, Jean Sartori, Do- lores LaPacz, Bill Robertson, John Kosovec, Eu- gene Tenaglio, Loretta Restanio, Karl Ulrich. Invitation: IIde Zamberlan, Florence Salva- dori. The plans for the party were supervised by Mrs. Struwing, the Class advisor. Miss Scott, and Miss Filipponi. This year, many clubs were open to mem- bership for the Sophomores. Among those clubs were the Tri-Hi-Y, Hi-Y, Home Economics, and the Industrial Arts Club. The Sophomore schedule was not so dis- rupted as that of the other classes. Mr. Hutch- ison, a newcomer to Union, had charge of a home room of Sophomore boys. Miss Hammer- strom, home room teacher for a group of Sopho- more girls was replaced upon the return of Mr. Mervosh to the faculty. Miss Filipponi, Miss Scott, and Mr. Malone, old hands at handling the Sophomores, offered guidance to their sopho- more home rooms. Mr. Colesberry took over his Sophomore History classes after returning from the Army.

Little did they know about the hall patrolmen, traffic rules or the teachers at Union—but they learned, and very quickly, too! The following officers were chosen to serve as the class leaders, (they managed to acquaint themselves with each other and Union) Presi- dent—Harry Fulmer; Vice President——Melva Melton; Secretary-Treasurer—Ann Darras. Their president, Harry Fulmer, went out for football and basketball as one of the Freshmen represen- tatives on the squads. Melva Melton was also chosen President of the Junior Home Economics Club, an organization open to the Freshmen for membership. In addition, Melva was selected by vote of the student body as one of the Sno- ball Queen's attendants. The class Secretary- Treasurer, Ann Darras, was an active member of the Civics Club, a club which is limited to Freshmen membership. The Freshmen took advantage of their first opportunity to get acquainted at their Halloween party on October 25th. The variety of costumes —spooky, comic, original, pretty—added much to make the affair a gay one. The committees who helped to make the party successful were: Melva Melton, Ann McGraw, Olga Wisnosky, Raymond Reynolds, Nancy Culley, Eugene Mar- tin, Doris Tope, Velma Myers, Kenneth Downer, Jack Gilson, Frank Koraido, Thomas Domin, Ken- neth Havelka, Mary Ann Seyda, Helen Kliach. Assistance was graciously offered by Mrs. Macks and Miss Evans to the Refreshment Committee, by Mrs. Martin, Mrs. Weaver, and Miss Pusateri to the Entertainment Committee, and by Mrs. Struwing to the Invitation Committee. The Freshmen were well represented in the realm of sports this year, too. This sports en- thusiasm is a prophecy of great teams in the fu- ture. Bernard Wysocki and Richard Coleman both played some exciting games of football. Because of practice with this year's team, Charles Beaumont, Bill Cindrich, Bill Dumas, Harry Ful- mer, Walter Tomich, Bill Prato, and Thomas Mar- tin have become promising candidates for a great future football team. Elbert Seagle, Fresh- man manager, was very proud and happy to receive his football sweater at the banquet given by the Aihletic Council in honor of the sports participants. Beaumont and Fulmer rep- resented their class on the second basketball team. This year there have been a few changes in positions of Freshmen teachers. Mr. Mervosh, who had been in the armed forces of his country, resumed his teaching of the Freshmen Civics classes. His place had been filled by Miss Ham- merstrom during his absence. Mr. Struwing came back to Union from the Navy to take up his position as an Industrial Arts teacher. In the Home Economics Department, changes also occurred—Miss Werner was granted a year's leave of absence; Miss Kebe resigned to accept another position with the West Penn Power Com- pany. Through the combined efforts of Mrs. Macks, a returned Home Economics teacher, and Miss Evans, a graduate of Union and a new- comer to the faculty, the vacancies left by Miss Werner and Miss Kebe were ably filled and the Home Economics Department carried on. Both Mrs. Martin and Mrs. Struwing returned to accept Freshman home rooms and Mr. Hutchison, a faculty newcomer, took charge of a group of Freshmen boys in General Science. Miss Pusa- teri, the class advisor, taught English and Liter- ature to the Freshies. During the course of the year, this class, the first to enter our high school with our nation at peace with the world, there were evidences of relief and happiness, a symbol of American ideals,—proper education and social training of American Youth. 32 FRESHMEN Is!

Its twenty-seven members write their news and feature stories with the idea that what they state reflects the ideas and opinions expressed by the students. The membership on the Hi-Lite Staff is open to all students regardless of class. Staff mem- bers enjoyed journalism classes for three days each week for a few months during the year. In these classes journalistic writing was taught by the paper's sponsor, Miss O'Brien, in accord- ance with the newly organized system for the paper's publication. Before this year the school paper was mime- ographed by the students in the form of a maga- zine. This year the paper was printed by the HI-LITE Burgettstown Enterprise Company. This change made necessary a new arrangement for prep- aration of the paper. An editor was in charge of each page, and these editors in turn checked with their managing editor. Reporters served under each page editor. In order that the staff be prepared to pub- lish a school paper with the beginning of the next year, the Hi-Lite sponsored a movie which was shown to the students. The proceeds from this movie were set aside in a fund for use next year. Near the close of the year, the Hi-Lite and the U Staff members met in an informal social gathering. At this gathering journalism pins were awarded to the Hi-Lite Staff members who had achieved standards set by the entire staff. 37 1st Row Mr. Miller, W. Morris, A. Campos, P McCoy, J. Dalfol, J.

This is an organization for the benefit of the students as a whole. It is the duty of the Student Council to present and interpret the rules and laws of the school. It serves as a council for the students. The members are taught the idea of self-government and discipline for the benefit of the majority. Under the su- pervision of Mr. Miller, Union's Assistant Prin- cipal and mathematics teacher, a new phase was introduced in the activities of the council. The home room members were encouraged to present suggestions for improvements to the Council members in their own home rooms. These members, in turn, brought these sugges- tions in to be discussed by the Council as a whole. COUNCIL Student Council members also serve as hall- patrolmen. It is the duty of these patrolmen to to guide traffic in the halls in the most crowded sections, and to maintain order in the halls. The patrolmen are responsible to the students to per- form their duties for benefit to the greater num- ber. Recommendations were made by the Coun- cil for the improvement made in the girls' and boys' rest rooms. They also recommended and aided in the refmishing of the metal fire doors which close off both sides of the lower hall. Re- pairs were also made to other doors. It was through this organization that Christmas pack- ages were mailed to Marines stationed in China. The Student Council served to bring closer co-operation between the students and the school administration. 38 1st Row—Miss Scott, D. Joncort, M. Golubofsky, E. Morvich, Y.

LIBRARY CLUB The Lib rary Club membership is restricted. Only those girls who work in the library before school, during the day and after school are members of the club. The Library Club was organized for the purpose of aiding the librar- ian and helping the students to find desired in- formation. Since the Library Club is not a regular club, regular meetings aren't held. The only time meetings are held are in the evenings. At these meetings members discuss books they would like to get for the library, ask questions about how and where to look for information, plan- ning a social event or any other business. After the business part of the meeting is over games are played and everyone has a good time before the meeting is adjourned. During Book Week, which started on the 12th of November and lasted until the 16th, posters were put up and book marks were given to the student body. There was a little verse on the book marks telling why everyone should read and enjoy doing it. The annual Tea Party was held for the teachers on December 19, after school. Tea and coffee together with dainty cookies and sand- wiches were served. Members of the club decorated the library for the Christmas holidays. Carrying out the custom of former years, a Christmas tree was put up and decorated. It was suggested and approved by all members that they would like to purchase Li- brary Club Pins. Near the close of the school year the spon- sor of the Library Club plans to take all the members to Pittsburgh. While in Pittsburgh the group will visit other libraries and pick up any bits of information that may be of value to them. 39 ALPHA—1st Row—Mrs. Smiley, M. J. McWhorter, B. Cowden, D. Tondy, R. L.

TRI-HI-Y Our Tri-Hi-Y composed of two groups, the Alpha and Beta, tries in every way to help its members get along with one another. The girls are taught to appreciate creative work, the wealth of new and renewed acquaintances and the deep meaning of private talks. All these go into the broadening of every girl.

Hl-Y Clean sports, clean speech, clean scholar- ships are the basic rules an which the Hi-Y is organized. This year the club sponsored a Blondie film and a football film entitled, Harmon of Michigan ' On January 23 the Hi-Y installed a new club in the Midway High School. Contributions are made to all worthy causes. Early in the year a very generous con- tribution of fifty dollars was given toward re- pairs on the scout hut. In the Post-War World the members of these organizations are going to be a few among the many who will be responsible for holding high the ideals of a Democratic Nation. Above all they will have to work hard to preserve peace. Only possessors of a good set of morals can hope to advance in such a difficult job. Every day these young people are realiz- ing more and more the importance of a good Christian character which this organization is trying to help them attain. 41 1st Row—Miss Filipponi, T. Yorio, E.

COMMERCIAL CLUB The commercial club was organized chiefly for the purpose of acquainting students with what the business world expects of them and to help them prepare themselves along these lines. Membership in the club is purely voluntary. However, the sponsor constantly urges that only those Juniors and Seniors genuinely interested should join. After those interested become members of the club they are constantly being reminded that those keeping their scholastic standard high will be the most likely to succeed in whatever position in business they choose. New members are formally initiated at an evening meeting. Ideas for the initiation are usually contributed and carried out by the old members of the club. Social events and get to- gether are held after school or in the evening. Monthly meetings are devoted to the dis- cussion of problems that most students are inter- ested in. Personality in business and social life is by far one of the most interesting topics. The members are told how they should act at inter- views. There are also definite traits and quali- ties that any good office worker should possess. All these traits and qualities are enumerated; then students are urged to keep these traits in mind and practice them. These are only a few of the many things discussed in regular club sessions. Senior girls act as secretaries to various members of the faculty. In this way the girls are taught to assume responsibility. Then too, working helps the girls to be more conscious of their errors and start doing something about them. Every year the group sponsors a pencil pro- ject in order to raise funds to be used in the commercial department. 42 1st Row Mrs. Martin, L. Mena, Y Foley, C. Seminich. 2nd Row—J. Babyak, A.

SPANISH CLUB The Spanish Club is the only school club whose activities are based on use of a language in their meetings. All the members must be stu- dents studying Spanish under the supervision of the c!ub sponsor, Mrs. Martin. An exception this year is the honorary membership of Angel Montequin who attends all club meetings, but who does not study Spanish. Last year membership in the club was open to Spanish II students only. Club meetings were held during the regular class meetings each month. This schedule was followed because there was only one Spanish II club. The mem- bership this year is open to all Spanish students, but the membership is low due to the fact that many Spanish students are members of other clubs and cannot be members in more than one club. The meetings are conducted in Spanish. The secretary is required to read all the minutes in Spanish, too. When the roll is called, mem- bers must answer by calling the name of some animal or inanimate object in the Spanish lan- guage Dues collected from the club members were used to purchase prizes for winners in the Span- ish lottery game fashioned after our American game of Bingo. This game was played during the club meetings. The meetings were usually ended by the singing of Spanish songs. A party was held for the club members at the close of the school year. Spanish students found Club activities both interesting and worth- while. 43 1st Row—Mrs. Macks, M. Golubofsky, D. Yadrick, R. Majernik, A. Gobleck, L. Panzica. 2nd Row— F. Schilinski, B. Waltl, I.

Curtains, lamps, and small accessories have been bought in the past to keep the Home Ec. house neat and comfortable. The main purpose so far as the members are concerned is to be able to conduct meet- ings, carry out a program, plan for activities and carry them out as a group. As in other clubs, membership is volun- tary. Those girls who had been members of the Junior Home Ec. Club were eligible to join if they wished. New members were initiated into the club at the beginning of the school term. The former members of the club were held res- ponsible for the program at the initiation. Those girls being initiated into the club were required to do stunts and take part in games that were played. A committee is appointed and held respon- sible for the discussion that takes place for one club period. After the main points of the topic have been brought out by the committee mem- bers, a group discussion is held. Personality and manners proved to be a very interesting subject. Members showed much enthusiasm when the subject of clothing came up. Where to travel and what to take with you is another important topic. During the remainder of the year subjects dealing with the members person- ally or with Home Ec. in general were brought before the group. Every year the club is entitled to have one dance. This past year the dance was held on November 25, the day before Thanksgiving. It has been suggested that instead of doing the same old thing all the time that the club should try something different. Two suggestions were made, but as yet they haven't been decided upon. First—a skating party was suggested. Later it was thought that a sleigh ride would be different, yet enjoyable. Neither of the sug- gestions has been decided upon. 44 1st Row—Miss Evans, M.

JUNIOR HOME ECONOMICS The Junior Home Economics Club, organ- ized this year under the supervision of Miss Mary Jean Evans, a former alumnae of Union High School, has the largest club enrollment of all the clubs at Union. Its fifty-three members have organized their club with the aim to purchase furnishings for the Home Economics house, and to sponsor activi- ties for the students7 enjoyment. In addition, activities for the enjoyment of the club members only are also sponsored. In the past year the club purchased window shades for the living room of the house. This year the club added new curtains for all win- dows and scarfs and doilies for the furniture. One of the main events sponsored by the club this year was the Sno-Ball Dance at which a Sno-Queen was chosen. This dance will become an annual event in the school. With the close of the year the club combined with the Sen- ior Home Economics club to enjoy an outdoor picnic. This spring the club will hold an open- house. At this time the parents of the students will be invited to come to the Home Economics house and view the new furnishings and condi- tions. This club, which was first organized in 1942 under the sponsorship of Mrs. Macks, has main- tained its aim to purchase furnishings and to sponsor activities. With each year the club en- joys more success. 45 1st Row—Mr. Lewis, T. Horper, H. Dolfol, W. Robertson. 2nd Row—R. Stewart, R. Meyers, J. Gilson W. Mitchell, G. Nemeth. MECHANICAL DRAWING CLUB The Mechanical Drawing Club was first or- ganized at the beginning of this school year under the sponsorship of Mr. Lewis who is the Mathematics teacher at Union High School. The club now meets on scheduled club days once a month. The meetings are primarily work per- iods. The club does not hold any social activi- ties for the school and it does not sponsor par- ties for its own entertainment. Membership of the club consists only of boys. When the club meets the members study and develop the more advanced forms of mech- anical drawing and drafting. These drawings and drafts include oblique projections, cabinet projections, and cavalier projection. Each in- dividual is responsible for his own work and re- quests aid when necessary. The abilities at- tained in this club prove to be of value to the boys in their regular mathematics and aeron- autics classes. During the course of the year the drawing of curves and curved surfaces was studied. The club members also investigated several of the developments of truncated prisms and cones, as well as the frustrums of these bodies and their development from orthographic projection. The work of the Mechanical Drawing Club appeals to those boys who desire to develop their mathematical ability. 46 1st Row—Mr. Souter, J. Globosky, J. Culley. E. Seagle. 2nd Row—D. Cunningham, W.

INDUSTRIAL ARTS CLUB The Industrial Arts Club of Union is one which limits the number who can join this organ- ization because of the type of work which is carried on during club periods. This is another club which has been organized primarily for construction purposes. They learn by actually working with the hands. If more were allowed to join the club, the sponsor would not be able to spend enough time with each member. The club's sponsor is Mr. Sauter, who is the wood shop instructor at Union. It was Mr. Sau- ter who first organized this club which is in its second year. Under Mr. Sauter's supervision the boys work on projects during club periods. Many of the boys made model airplanes during this past year. All fourteen members are boys, although membership is open to girls. Those who are not Industrial Arts students can also join this organi- zation. If a person wishes to join the club, he must submit his name to the club members and they decide his eligibility by popular vote. The club offers opportunity for those who have ability to work with their hands to expand their knowledge in this field. 47 SENIOR CHORUS 1st Row—A. Sherasky, O. Williamson, H. Pappas, F.

THE CHORUS The chorus groups are divided into groups which have daily hour-rehearsal periods. One class consists of the first-year chorus group, and the other is the advanced chorus group. During these daily periods, the chorus rehearsed their singing, and learn to read and to write music. In addition to singing rehearsals, reading music, and writing music, the chorus also learned to appreciate the theory of music by listening to recordings, and by seeing musical films. Some of these films were also shown to the student body. Each person benefits by her own efforts. Individual talents are encouraged by the partici- pation of the girls in amateur programs once a week. The chorus groups share in various school programs during the year. These programs in- cluded the annual Christmas program, the Bac- calaureate program, and several others. 48 1st Row—W. Alexander, C. Certich, E. Bonjourni, E. Kuzior, J. Christopher, R. Neil, L.

THE BAND At the close of the first quarter of the year, R. P. McGregor, Union High School's band direc- tor, returned to his position after being honor- ably discharged from the Engineering Corps, of the United States Army. For the first nine- weeks of this year the band was under the cap- able direction of Mrs. R. P. McGregor, who had directed the band for the past two years. It was during these two years that summer rehearsals were inaugurated in the band on a regularly planned schedule. These summer rehearsals were conducted mainly to prepare for the football season, and to keep the members advancing in music. The band appeared at every game this year. This was also the first year since the end of the War that transportation was available to take our band to our opponents' fields. Through the ben- efit of summer rehearsals the band was pre- pared to add color and enjoyment to the foot- ball games. Again this summer the band will meet for summer rehearsals. In addition to preparation plans are being made to organize a concert band. This band plans to present a series of concert programs throughout the summer to the public. This will be the first time that a series of this type has been attempted by the band. Concert music was also introduced on a larger scale to the band during the past year to provide a background for the future series. These pieces were played in school programs which were presented during the school year, and they met with promising success. Membership in the band was not so high in the past few years due to the lack of available instruments during the War years. In succeed- ing years it is expected that expansion of the band will exceed former levels. The lower membership did not affect the standards of the band. Its fifty-three members presented pro- grams to the students and to the public which were well-received. The organization of the Union High School Jive Busters was an added attraction in the music department for the enjoyment of the stu- dent body during the past year. This orchestra was composed of twelve members. The major- ity of these members were also in the regular band. A party was held for the members of the band at the close of the year. Guests of honor at the party were the graduating members of ♦he organization. 49 1st Row—Miss Hommerstrom, R. Fronz, L. L. Molone, K. Downer, S. Karp, J. Williams, R. Darras, J. Burns. 2nd Row—W.

It was organized to help promote worthy civic con- duct in the home, school, and community. Since it is important that students get train- ing in civic affairs as early as possible, only Freshmen may become members. Upon en- trance into the club members are urged to fol- low rules and regulations or the By Laws. They are as follows: 1. Officers of the club shall serve for the entire year. 2. Members must attend all meetings. In case of non-attendance a valid excuse must be offered. 3. Members must conduct themselves prop- erly at all times. 4. Co-operation is demanded of every member of the club to make each meet- ing a successful one. 5. Members must maintain an average scholastic standing. During regular club sessions those activities which are of a civic, social, and cultural value are discussed. The programs are varied in order to keep the members interested and alert. One club period may be devoted to plays that are both entertaining and educational. In the next meeting, however, current topics about the world today may be discussed. One of the things every student is urged to do by their sponsor is to think long and seriously about their vocation. How to use one's leisure time to the best advantage, character, and good citizenship are some major topics discussed. Of course, health is one of the first topics to be discussed; because, without a sound mind and physical body, all these other things cannot be accomplished. The members of the club plan a trip to Pittsburgh toward the end of the school term. Places of interest to be visited are the museum, zoo and Cathedral of Learning. A picnic at the Burgettstown Park is also being planned to close the activities of the year. 50 1st Row—Mr. Hutchison, S. Lescoliette, A. Volenti, M. Stroen, A. Emler, D. Perkins, J. Patterson, V.

SCIENCE CLUB The Science Club is, as its name signifies, an organization which gives members a chance to broaden their scientific knowledge. Membership in the club is purely voluntary. No voting is done by the old members of the club. New members are usually initiated in the evening. For every club day, a committee is ap- pointed to see that the group has something worthwhile and interesting to talk about. All members are encouraged to watch for any news pertaining to science. Anyone who wishes may contribute to the discussion which is started by the appointed committee for that particular day. At each club meeting the committee gives cer- tain members topics on which they report dur- ing the next club meeting. When the time comes these reports are given to ihe group and a dis- cussion of the report follows. The sponsor tries to answer any question that may come up during ihe course of the meeting. Since our Science Club is a branch of the Science Club of America, material in the form of pamphlets and letters are sent out in order to help members to get a still broader view on the subject of science. These pamphlets and letters prove very valuable in regular club meetings. As yet the club hasn't had any social activity However, if the school calendar is not filled they are planning to have some sort of get-together before the end of the school term. 51 Contests in sports teach us the value of teamwork 1945 Baseball Squad Third base Home plate Dowler rounding third 1st Row: J.

THE ATHLETIC COUNCIL The Athletic Council gave us an interesting athletic program this season. This group of men are responsible for all athletic activities car- ried on by the high school teams. They make the football, basketball, and baseball schedules. All officials for the games are approved by the Council. The Council also sets the amount the officials are to receive for their services. Prac- tically every point concerning athletics is under the jurisdiction of this organization. The students themselves are represented on the Athletic Council. Every year the Sopho- more Class appoints one member to serve on the Athletic Council. The following year the appointed member becomes an active member of the Council. There are at least two students from school serving on the Council, one a Junior and one a Senior. The faculty is represented by having the faculty manager, coach, principal, and super- vising principal on the Council. The faculty members automatically become members each year. The School Board is also represented on the Athletic Council. The president of the board appoints the members to serve on the Council each year. All meetings of the Athletic Council are sub- ject to call by the president. During the course of the year the Council held two Athletic Banquets. The first was held in honor of the football team. The second hon- ored the basketball and football squads, the band, the cheerleaders, and the aides. Awards were given at the latter banquet. At the close of the school year this self- governing organization holds the last formal dance of the year—the Commencement Dance. This organization deserves much of the credit we achieve in the different sports. 53 BAND IN FORMATION CHEERLEADERS 1st Row, left to right—L. Conrad, D. Kubovic, L. DelTozzotto. D. Yanega, P. Hixson.

These three groups, along with the band, were what we call super-plus. They made the stadium swell with enthusiasm. Our football squad worked from the hot days of mid-August to the cold frosty days of early November. The team was directed by head Coach Dorn Rich. Bill Miller and Michael Bovan helped spark the attack. Mr. Rich came to us from East Pittsburgh to pilot our team to a brilliant record. His coaching ability was defin- itely shown this last season. Our cheering section make our team better than ordinary. Seven peppy blue-uniformed girls cheered the team on to victory. They gave added zest to the games. The cheerleaders practiced long hours after school to acquire per- fection. The girls led our student body in clever cheers by peppy, rhythmic motions. Our hats are off to these girls for helping us cheer and giving our team more punch. Mr. Robertson's refreshment stand at the stadium was a popular spot during the games. That's where we got a lot of pleasure. The hot dogs and peanuts were delicious; without speak- ing of the candy, coffee, pop, and chewing gum sold there. Robertson and Company did a won- derful job. We salute these boosters who made our Friday nights enjoyable. We'll long remember the excitement, the loud cheering, the band playing, and the delicious food of our football games of 1945. 55 Stanly Pensak George Stick SENIOR FOOTBALL PLAYERS Chris Maropis John Gretsky Charles Dowler Louis Dellapina John Dalpol OUR 1945 RECORD Sept. 7 Union 13 Moon Township 6 Sept. 1 4 Union 0 Waynesburg 20 Sept. 21 Union 7 Avello 0 Sept. 28 Union 6 Midland 6 Oct. 6 Union 7 Coraopolis 0 Oct. 13 Union 32 Chester 0 Oct. 19 Union 43 Findlay Township 13 Oct. 26 Union 15 Trinity 6 Nov. 2 Union 21 Canonsburg 7 Nov. 9 Union 26 McDonald 0 56 SENIOR BASKETBALL PLAYERS Louis Dellopina Charles Dowler Chris Maropis John Ratkovich James Lee OUR 1945-1946 RECORD Dec. 4 Union 23 Chartiers 17 Dec. 7 Union 23 McDonald 11 Dec. 1 1 Union 28 Monaco 26 Dec. 14 Union 23 Chartiers 31 Dec. 18 Union 40 Hickory 20 Dec. 21 Union 45 McDonald 12 Dec. 28 Union 44 Hickory 18 Jan. 2 Union 46 Avella 26 Jan. 4 Union 41 Trinity 37 Jan. 8 Union 46 Chester 45 Jan. 11 Union 32 Waynesburg 42 Jan. 15 Union 40 Washington 37 Jan. 18 Union 31 Weirton 64 Jan. 25 Union 45 Canonsburg 33 Jan. 29 Union 42 Alumni 28 Feb. 1 Union 34 Trinity 40 Feb. 5 Union 32 North Catholic 50 Feb. 8 Union 40 Waynesburg 52 Feb. 12 Union 23 Washington 38 Feb. 15 Union 39 North Catholic 48 Feb. 19 Union 26 Canonsburg 29 57 1st Row—J.

Our cagers proved where there's a will there's a way. These ten boys did not think of the lack of experience in fighting their way to a successful season. They defeated such formidable teams as Chester, Monaco, Washing- ton, Trinity, Canonsburg, and Chartiers. These victories far overshadow the reverses the team suffered. The past season offered an exciting brand of ball. Under Coach Rich's direction the team played the kind of games the public likes to see. Everyone can remember the tense Chester game, the fast Monaco game, or the exciting Washing- ton game. Every evening from three to five-thirty, Union's team worked hard to perfect their ball- handling, shooting, and passing ability. Plain work was essential. The team gave us many an exciting evening whether we were on the top end of the score or not. Five Senior players will say farewell to their basketball days in high school. Of the ten lettermen on the team five will graduate. Mr. Rich deserves credit for the time and work he put into the team. An added attraction at the basketball games which was enthusiastically received was the swing band. At our home games the swing band assured the team that the school was backing them up every inch of the way. Although our team did not win every game, they were a fine team and gave us a good season. 58 1st Row—L. Dellapina, C. Maropis, C. Dowler, W. Morris, J. Lee. 2nd Row—D. Downer, J. Pauchnik, J. Ross, H. Fulmer, J. Brunner, Cooch Rich. THE 1945 BASEBALL SQUAD Union High School's baseball team of last year completed the season as the runner-up for championship of the section. The team was under the direction of H. Clarke. The boys on the team were hard-pres- sed for positions on the team by the large turn out of candidates. The boys played some keen games. Such players as Maropis, Dowler, Dow- ner, Morris, and Dellapina carried the brunt of the attack. The clever pitching of Maropis, the skillful catching of Dowler, the brilliant fielding of Morris, the aggressiveness of Downer and the slugging of Dellapina were responsible in many of the games for the difference between victory and defeat. Our team of '45 won nine games and lost five. They started off the season with a defeat by Wilkinsburg, then bounced back to defeat North Fayette twice. The Blue Devils were vic- tims of two defeats by Weirton. Washington was brushed aside the first game only to win the second. Union toyed with Hickory in the next two games. Union continued their domination by defeating East Washington twice. Union kept their stride by easily defeating McDonald twice. Finally the season drew to a close with Union throwing away the chance of winning the section championship by losing to Findlay. The team was made up mostly of under graduates. Only four Seniors graduated from the squad. This leaves the prospects of baseball rather good at Union for our '46 season. Our baseball team of last year gives us the satisfaction of knowing that our chances of a good baseball team in '46 at Union are good. We're proud of this baseball team that repre- sented us on the diamond. Yes, we're mighty proud of the players who gave their time for our enjoyment. 59 1st Row—Mr. Rich, C. Maropis, A. Campos, J.

VARSITY The newest addition to our list of clubs this year is the Varsity U Club. The club is an organ- ization whose membership consists entirely of athletes. To join, each member must have had at least one year of experience in football or basketball. Officers are elected at the beginning of the school year and must serve the entire season. The officers and an executive committee direct the club activities. All officers are elected by popu- lar vote, and the executive committee is ap- pointed. The purpose of the executive com- mittee is to take care of all matters not under the jurisdiction of the officers. Meetings of the club are not held regularly. The president or advisor of the club can call a meeting when they see fit. All meetings that are called are held on Friday afternoons when there is neither football nor basketball practice. Meetings at night are held about once a month. These meetings must be agreed upon by the entire club. At the night meetings there is U CLUB always refreshments and entertainment. The business of the club is carried on only at after- noon meetings. A movie on some sport is usually rented for these get-togethers. Every month each member must pay a quarter to finance the club. The dues that are collected are spent on the social life of the club. All the coaches are honorary members of the organization. Mr. Rich advises the club on new ideas or on how to carry on business. The main purpose of the club is to give to every Senior who has earned a letter in basket- ball or football a souvenir. The souvenir is a gold football or basketball. The club holds dances or parties for the school. The money received from the dances and parties is used to pay for the footballs or basketballs. Although this is the first year for the club, we hope it will be carried on in the future years at Union. AO 1st Row—Mrs. Weaver, L. Conrad, L. DelTozzotto, M. Dettorre, E. DeSantis, A. Martinez, M.

They are President, Lois Conrad; Vice President, Lorraine DelTozzotto; Secretary, Mary Dettorre; and Treasurer, Edith DeSantis. The officers are elected at the beginning of the year and serve until the end of the year. Each member of the organization must pay ten cents a month for dues. The money collected from dues is used to finance any expense or party that the club may have. Meetings are held once every month. First the business of the club is carried on and then the remainder of the meeting the girls play dif- ferent games. The purpose of the club is to teach the girls good sportsmanship. Any girls in the high school who are interested in sports may join the club. The G. A. A. sponsors dances for the school. The money they make on these dances goes into the treasury. When the club wants to make a trip or finance some other activity which is rath- er costly, they take the amount needed from the treasury. The advisor is Miss Eleanor Pusateri who sees that the business is handled properly, makes arrangements for trips, gives new ideas on the club's activities, and helps the organiza- tion when any difficulty arises. 61 Enthusiastic cooperation of our friends, the advertisers, has helped in the publication of our U The Senior Class of 1946 wishes to say Thank You to the following patrons: Don Brown '41 Navy Helen Sergakis '45 Betty Kuhn '40 Gerald Kuhn '45 Army Dominick Sarracino '38 Thomas Lee '43 Navy Robert Lawrence '43 Air Corps Joan Lawrence Lonick '41 Charles Pappas '43 Lucille Monestario '44 Michael Thomas Vernillo '37 John Paul Vernillo '37 Babe Joseph Vernillo '40 Louis James Maslyk '38 Navy Don Downer '47 Ruth Cadoul '37 Bucky Buxton '42 Jim Tennyson '43 Bubba Buxton '44 Juanita Mendez Charles Winders '42 Josephine Montequin '41 Jean Russell '44 Jimmy Reed '45 Marion Malone '45 Tony Pappas '44 Pat McGraw '43 Air Corps Tom McGraw '45 Marines Olga Garcia '42 Rose Rinella '42 Louise Jackson '44 Bub Weigman '44 Navy Lucille Jackson '44 lola Martin Grabsky '35 Emma Povero Bundy '39 Saturno Spots Prendes '43 Navy Bette Franz '43 Wilma Buritz '45 Helen Pappas '46 Buzzy Gonzalez '47 Sophie Pappas '46 Geraldine King Davis '34 Mary Stevenson Plance '35 Betty Hart '33 Vera Mae Webster '45 Irene Latzo '45 Melvin Toucher '38 Army Arthur Toucher '39 Marines Anthony Longo '42 Army Thelma Wagner '43 Mary Louise Panconi '43 Betty Babyak '45 Tony Pusateri James Plance '42 Army Gus Diamond Air Corps Robert Kidd '42 Navy Charles Getsinger '40 Army Irene Brown '45 Ruth Friday Mike Robb '44 Jeanette Rago '39 Manuel Garcia Marines Rose Longo '46 Mary Machak '43 Clyde Marvich '39 Coast Guard Josephine Goldbach '45 Cara Pusateri Anne Rinella '38 Pansy Gomez '44 Pvt.
