Appropriately, we have chosen student life for our theme. Our title pages which divide the book into four parts depict our life as students at Union. In order that we might fulfill our student life theme, we have arranged our book so that each division page represents a separate phase of our growth in demo- cratic living. Life with our educators and our fellow students helps to form the basis of our annual. In addition to co-operation with others and our enthusiasm in athletics, we present a record to be cherished in later days. Although our future is unknown, our graduates must learn to combat all prob- lems that may come before them with an open mind and heart. We believe that our student life has helped us learn to cope with problems in just that manner. Our theme, therefore, proposes to establish a written and pictorial record of our life as students at Union. index Theme Page .,........ Frontis Piece .,.........

We hope this may be a small token of our appreciation for the many ser- vices you have rendered to us as a leader and an educator. You have been confronted with the task of instructing the senior class in their last year of English and literature, a task which you do with the utmost of skill, understanding, and patience. You realize that this is the last chance for senior students to master these subjects, and you put forth every effort to have these subjects mastered and understood. Vforking with the senior play, the pageant, and the absentees are but a few of the services you render to the entire school as Well as to the senior class. Time may pass, but your ever-ready wit, friendly atitude, and happy outlook on life will remain in the memories of all who have ever had contact with you. 5 X I 5 A 15 , JN L -' W Q E f , fb LSP, ' x '5- Q Z f 2 Sf S XXMHU Z -1 Top: May I hawc your attcntion plcasc?

The council consists of Supervising Prin- cipal XVilliam P. Millerg High School Princi- pal R. Donald Hallg the head coaches of each sport, football and basketball, Mr. Nicksickg wrestling, Mr. Babyakg baseball. Mr. Yannig the faculty manager. Mr. Mervoshg four school- board members, Mr. Atherton. Mr. Dalyerny, Mr. Zelenko, and Mr. X'Vagner. and two se- lected members of the student bodv, Fred Sarracino and joe Pace. The council, though it works as a sub-com- mittee of the Board of Education, has the important task of deciding the programs and appropriating funds for new equipment for scholastic athletics. This year they have pur- chased new wrestling and football uniforms as well as supplementing football equipment. Student Council The Student Councils main purpose is to bring a closer relationship between the faculty and students. lt meets to discuss the problems of the students concerning the school. At the first meeting this year Harold McEl- haney was elected as president, Bobert Tho- mas as vice-president and Arlene Boles as secretary-treasurer. Although Mr. Mervosh is busy with his mnnerous activities, he still has time to be advisor. Une of the most important duties of the student council members is to act as hall pa- trols during class changes. They keep the students walking single file on the right side of the hall so that the hall will not become congested. This year's hall patrol captain is Dom Trimarki. His job is to see that the hall patrol positions are filled at all times. The Council is composed of the president of each class and the president and vice-presi- dent of each home room. The council does not have a special day on which to meet but a meeting can he called bv Mr. Mervosh or the president. A dance was suggested at one of the meet- ings. lt was decided to hold it in May. The following committee chairmen were appointed by P1'esident Harold McElhaney: Decoration, Bob Thomas, chairmang Befresh- ment, Sonia Colubofskv, chairmang Tickets. Danny Calan, chairman, Invitations, Floyd Thomas, chairman, Entertainment. Bill Bux- ton, chairmang Clean up, Dennis Dimmack, chairman. For vears the Student Council has been a primary factor in student-faculty relationship. This years' Council has been successful to the end and both the faculty and the Student Council members look forward to another year of co-operation. Seated, L. to B.: B. M. Turkily, S. Mis, N.

Seldom has any high school enrolled a freshman class which carried with it the pro- mise and undoubted qualities that are re- quired to make fine men and women of the future as the class U. II. S. enrolled in the autumn of 1952. Typical of all freshies,,, shy and green, they are full of enthusiasm and pep, ready and willing to do their best for the Blue and NVhite. In spite of all the confusion that takes place during the first week of school, they es- tablished their places in school this year and took a prominent part in all school activities For their officers they chose Edward Ihnot as president, Sally Loffert as vice president, and Michael Esno as secretary-treasurer. The main activitv of the class was the Halloween Party which was held on October 29 in the gym along with the eighth grade. A large majority of the ninth graders attended. The party was supervised by Mrs. Hanna. Decorations were of orange and black crepe paper representing witches and black cats. Refreshments of hot dogs, pop and candy were served, and the rest of the evening was spent in playing games and dancing. After the grand march the following were awarded prizes: prettiest girl, Sandra Petruccig most handsome boy, Charles Abateg funniest girl. Valarie Bane, funniest boy, Anthony Mungel- log most original girl, Irene Mancinelli. Bottom row, l. to r.: llug- gins, I. B. Kinney, M. Bart- ley, V. Bane, S. Nesbit, S. Pearl. Row 2: H. Friday, li.

National Honor Society The Senior Honor Society sponsored by Miss Filipponi is relatively a new organiza- tion at Union High having been organized only two years ago this April 18. The tour principles of character, leader- ship. scholarship, and service establish the requirements for membership. A prospective member's scholarship rating is considered for the present semester and the semester preced- ing induction. A member must be either in the junior or senior class. All faculty mem- bers are requested to make recommendations to the Faeultv Council which is comprised of Miss Filipponi. the Society chairman, Miss Scott. Mr. li. D. Hall. Mr. and Mrs. Pusateri and Mrs. Hanna. For the N52-53 school term an induction service was held in the school auditorium on February 16. at which time fifteen new mem- bers were inducted. This induction ceremonv was combined with the junior Honor Societv induction services. The oH'icers from each organization took active part in these ser- vices. A unique fund-raising project undertaken was a photo contest. Each teacher submitted a baby photo ot himself. The student that identified the most teachers received as a re- ward a 1953 HUT. They also held a dance on April 17th. All members served on the vari- ous dance committees. The organization had held programs for American Education NVeek, United Nations Day and Pennsylvania Wfeek. Other I11t'lUl76I'S of senior class also took part in these pro- grams. Another project which has become an annual event is i'Student Davf' On this spe- cial day the students replace the administra- tors and teachers at their tasks.

All of these or- ganizations have strived to invest service to the school and the community. Mothers of the Tri-Hi-Y girls and repre- sentatives from Midway and Chartiers were invited to attend the induction service on September 25. conducted by Miss Scott, Miss Kosovec and Alpha officers. New oflicers of the year were installed and later refreshments were served. Each Tuesday and Thursday devotions are conducted over the loudspeaker by the mem- be1's of the Tri-Hi-Y and Hi-Y. A joint com- mittee consisting of Magdalene Russell and Howard Dunbar headed his project. All the student body were invited to participate and many willingly co-operated to make is suc- cessful. In order to raise money to further Tri-Hi-Y activities, a few projects were undertaken by the club. On November 26, a dance was sponsored by the Tri-Hi-Y for the student body. Those who helped to make this levis dance one of the most profitable of the year were: Publicity: Myrna Sonnenburg: Decora- tion: Marlene Bihum: Refreshments: Magda- lene Russell: Tickets: Ioan Knight. Again this year salt Water taffy and mums were sold. A bake sale was held in Bulger. Langeloth and Burgettstown on February 7. The Beta's annual trip to the Washington County Home was more successful this year than in previous years. The Hi-Y and Tri-Hi- Y p1'ovided an entertaining program consist- ing of a skit, Christmas carols, group singing and the patients of the Home were each pre- sented with a small remembrance of the club. The Tri-Hi-Y enjoyed the Hi-Y party this year on December 3. The boys provided 1'e- freshments and entertainment in the school gym. Together these companion clubs pro- vided two entertainers for the school. Bev. William IIill talked on boy-girl relations and Mr. Campbell impersonated Abraham Lincoln and dipicted scenes from his life. Elma Stewart, vice-president of the Alpha, was Mistress of Ceremonies at the Mother and Daughter banquet on May 12. After the wonderful dinner supplied by a local church group, all the girls, their mothers and the guests participated in singing, later a few speeches were made bv the guests. Union was well represented this year at a few conventions. Doris Cree of the Alpha and Richard Donati of the Hi-Y accompanied Mr. Moorehead to Butler for a district meeting, the Older Girls' Conference was attended in Som- erset, and six delegates were present at the U. N. assembly in Harrisburg. The delegates we1'e E. Stuart, A. Boles, M. A. Wilson, M. Bi- hum, S. Dennis, E. Stewart. Joyce Hemphill provided the Alpha Club meetings with programs and Majorie Kubick headed programs for the Beta. With Miss Scott and Miss Kosovec as school sponsors and Mrs. ll. Culley as adult advisor the Tri-Hi-Y has had a very active and successful year. Members of this club have been a part of a nation wide organization which contributes to the individual, the school and the community. Bottom row, left to right: B. Patterson, L. Shiel, J.

The creed of the Hi-Y, a brother organiza- tion of the Y. M. C. A. and the Tri-Hi-Y, is to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and the community a higher standard of Christian character. Thus, this club is important to the school and to its members. New inductees met at the school on the night of October 22, to be initiated into the Hi-Y, led by their president, Leon Testas. On january 19, after the Waynesburg bas- ketball game, the annual dance of the Hi-Y was held in the school gym. The boys who participated in making the dance a success were: Tickets: F. Kriznik, I. Morra, H. Pappas, F. Warrender. Refreshments: A. Bologna, Stroud, R. Vega, F. Thomas. Entertainment: Tunno, T. Campos. Another project which helped to raise funds for the club was the selling of Easter eggs. With the money obtained from these projects, the club usually purchases a useful article for the school. The Tri-Hi-Y and the Hi-Y had an enter- aining evening on December 8, this was the night that the Hi-Y held its biannual party for the girls of the Tri-Hi-Y. The club entertained their guests with delicious food, enjoyable games and dancing. As in the past years, the club actively joined with the Tri-Hi-Y to visit the Washington County Home and to enter- tain these people. Also, the Hi-Y joined with its brother organization to obtain two notable speakers, who proved to be entertaining to both the students and the faculty. The Hrst, Rev. W. H. Hill talked on boy and girl rela- tions. On February 19, Mr. A. Cambel por- trayed scenes from the life of Abraham Lin- coln. These assemblies were enjoyed by all. However, the Hi-Y did something new this year. All the members and Mr. Kimber- land, the sponsor, took a trip to Pittsburgh on March 11, to see the world-famous Globe- trotters. According to the boys, this was one of the most enjoyable activities of the year. The club contributed its services to the school by petitioning all other school clubs to donate money for the purpose of buying new records for the dancers. All the clubs re- sponded enthusiastically. Iu addition to this, the club purchased an ad from the yearbook. The members of the Hi-Y also took an active part in the morning devotions held over the loudspeaker every Tuesday and Thursday. The Tri-Hi-Y rendered service to the com- munity again this year by donating money to the blind. At one of the meetings a movie was shown which explained the procedure used at meet- ings of similar boys associations. Thanks to the Hi-Y program, its members have gained new ideas of character and citi- zenship. All of these boys are proud to say that they have been of service to the school and the community. Thc Varsity U. one of the most active clubs at Union, had one of their most active years. They started the year by electing the following boys as their officers: Harold Mc- Elhaney. prcsidentg joe Vajentic, vice presi- dent and jim Dallara, secretary treasurer. Mr. Bogdan Nicksick acted as their sponsor this year. Mr. Nicksick, Who is the varsity basket- hall and football coach, helped the hovs plan a varied and busy activities schedule. This schedule included an innovation to Union. The boys parked cars and sold pro- grams at the football games. The charge for parking cars and the money received for pro- grams added greatlv to the revenue of the club. Many people commented favorahlv on the help the boys gave to the heavy traffic at football games. One of the cluhls projects appreciated hy the students was the selling of Pepsi-Cola in the auditorium at noon. Bill Buxton and Louis ltoss were in charge. In addition to this the club handled candv bars, gum, and nuts for the refreshment of the studens. This vcar Shirley l,aPacx and Anita Campos han- dled the selling. The Varsity U was responsible for a joint fund for records for the dances. Each club donated money for this and a committee chose the records. This enabled each club to have popular records at their dances for a nominal cost. The boys also sold stationery for addi- tional funds. The club held an alumni dance on De- cember 26 in the gym. John Boni's hand played from nine until one o'clock. ln addi- tion to this the baseball, football and wrestling squads held dances during the year. The Varsity U is composed of boys who have either won a letter in a sport or who have participated in a sport at least two years. Boys who have dropped a sport are ineligible for further membership. The Varsity U was started in 1946 by Mr. Dom Rich. Other sponsors have been Mr. Canning and Mr. Mervosh. Many of their activities have been worth while to the school and to the boys.

Other officers elected were Helen Mis. secretaryg Bernadette Dugas, tI'C1lSlll'0l'Q Sarah Nlancinelli. historiang Cerry Apple Pan Dowdy contestants Dellapina, parliamentarian and Carol Cun- ningham, song leader. The officers were in- stalled at a candlelight ceremony on October 8 in the gym. The F. H. A. is the largest girls' club at Union. Girls from ninth grade up are invited to join. The F. H. A. is dedicated to the idea that every Woman is a homemaker whether she lives with her husband. parents or by her- self. To enlarge upon this idea a girl must know the fundamentals, at least. of housekeeping. Some lucky girls like Helen Mis know much more than that. Helen Won the Apple Pan Dowdy contest at Union, then the county champion and continued to Somerset Where she competed in the Apple Pan Dowdy baking contest and was judged regional queen. Helen flew to Harrisburg Where she placed an entry in the state contest. Among the prizes Helen Won Were a Betty Crocker picture cookbook. a compact, and apple pan dowdv dress and an expense paid trip to Harrisburg. The F. II. A. has truly had another good year. The luuior Future Homemakers of Ameri- ca is the only club open to eighth grade girls. This group was first organized at Union in 1942 by Mrs. Ilelen Macks. The club was then guided bv Miss Marjorie Creamer and for the past two years by Mrs. Barbara Lun- ger. The aims of the club are practical, for they seek to develop and prepare its members for social living-an all important phase to educa- tion. The club also tends to develop leader- ship and to promote a spirit of co-operation tln'oug'fi the teaching of parliamentarv pro- cedure and other activities. ln order to be a member of this group it is necessary that the individual take home eco- nomics. This year the girls believe they have shown good judgment in their election ol' ofli- cers. They chose as president. jerry Pirihg vice-president. Norma Stoneg secretary-trea- surer, Thurma VVharton. In addition to their home economics activi- ties. this busv group sold Betty Crocker Cook- books. held a successful dance in the gvm, had a skating party and sold greeting cards to augment funds for their treasurv. NVith these funds thcv sent a delegate to the Senior F. II. A. convention at Harrisburg and were respon- sible for the re-decoration at the Home Eco- nomics House. The club is a chapter member of the Fu- ture llomemakers of America and we are rapidly made aware of its benefits to any girl preparing for future home management. Row 1, I. to r.: M. Karas, J.

The club's aim is to help Span- ish students as they try to gain a practical speaking knowledge of the Spanish language. The members consist of all Spanish II stu- dents. The meetings are held on the last Friday of the month. The meetings are con- ducted in Spanish and the members speak en- tirely in Spanish. In the last few years the club's enrollment has grown so much that it has been necessary to have two Spanish Il classes. Each classroom selects its own offi- cers. A joint president is chosen from the two presidents with the other becoming the joint vice-president. There are two secretary- treasurers. The oflicers for the nineteen fifty two-fifty three year are: President, Senor Ronald LeCouvreg vice-president, Senorita Alice Linkeshg secretary-treasurers, Senor Howard Dunbar and Senorita Mary Ihnat. The Spanish Club claims as its sponsor Senora Iosephine Pusateri, the Spanish and Latin teacher. Senora Pusateri, who has been the Spanish Club sponsor for six years, has so much interest in the students and club's activities that the club has grown to be one of the most popular at Union with the girls and boys alike. This year the group wrote to Spanish speak- ing young people from all over the world. This exchange of ideas with pen pals was both interesting and educational. O11 Pan American Day in April the club gave an interesting assembly. It was an edu- cational fiesta. At Thanksgiving the Espanoles donated two baskets of food to needy families. The group also held a joint meeting with the McDonald Spanish Club. Skits in Span- ish were the entertainment. All in all they have had an active year. Row 1, l. to r.: S, Dnlvs-rny. C. Nogivr, P.

Indra trial 14rtA C1116 HMA 'flue School Under the able sponsorship of Mr. Sauter, who is also the Industrial Arts teacher, this club performs many useful and worthwhile services to the school. The Industrial Arts Club's main purpose is that of construction. The club makes the stage settings for the senior and junior plays, they provide the school with door stops and they supply the locker passes. Wheiievel' the desks need refinished, the boys are there to do that also. Besides all these projects for the school. the boys will have time for projects of their own. Each month the club meets in the Indus- trial Arts building so that they will be able to use the necessary machinery and equip- ment. The beginners are taught the use of this equipment so that they will have an un- derstanding of the machineryls parts and its construction. Because of this, the members of the club are able to recognize the disturb- ances in the machines and to repair this ma- chinery skillfully and immediately. Although many of the members of this club do not plan to make Industrial Arts a life-time vocation, the knowledge that they gain in this club will help them later on in life. The boys are always willing to under- take any job required of them because of the valuable experience gained in metal and woodcraftg thus both the school and the in- dividual members beneHt from this club. At a meeting in September, officers were elected to head the club: President, George Harveyg Vice-President, Martin Laurichg Sec- retary-Treasurer, Robert Bodnar. The Refreaflument Stand 94 greatly Nppreciated All of the foothall fans who have hought a cup of coffee on a frosty autumn night know and appreciate the excellent service one receives at the refreshment stand. The urusliv hour at the refreshment stand seems to he during the half period when many cold and hungry spectators crowd around to huv the delicious hot dogs and coffee or some of the other refreshments. The following students, supervised hy Mr. Hanna, are the hard working hut smiling people who serve you. They arc: John Clair, Larry Griffith, David Or- gan. Lucv Mendez, Pearl Sentipal, Nancy Strongosliy, James Malone, Shirley Plazarin. jane Ben. Marv jane Richy. Martin Griffith, Iohn Rash, Marv Ann Mc- Kee.

These students who have offered to work in the refreshment stand deserve our praise, for they do it on their own time. Their only reward is 'their free ad- mission to the game. Mr. Hanna has his difficulties, too, for he must estimate how much food to huy without knowing the size of the crowd. VVc often tease them ahout their coffee, hut we truly appreciate this service and look forward to another year when we can step up to the counter and order a cup of ujavai' and a hot.D 59 If a student needs any help in finding a special book, help in seeking some informa- tion or desires to use the library's vertical file material, the school librarians and Miss Scott are always ready to give a helping hand. It is the duty of the librarians always to be willing to help whenever needed. These librarians are juniors and senior girls who are willing to give up their free li- brary period to assist Miss Scott, the faculty librarian, in giving library service to the school. This group has joined together to form the Library Club. Unlike other school clubs it does not function in the regular man- ner. It does not meet every month, the mem- bers do not pay dues, and minutes of meetings are not kept. Meetings are called only when- ever they are needed. At the club's first meeting in October, offi- cers were chosen to lead the clubis activities: President, Ioan Roberts, Vice-President, Ar- lene Boles, Secretary-Treasurer, Sylvia Cap- ozzoli. The treasury consists of money collect- ed from overdue books. This money is then used to purchase new library magazines and books for the continual buildup of the library. The chief project of the club is the annual tea which is given for the members of the club and the faculty. This year's tea was held in the school library on December 11. The Home Economics classes provided the refreshments and the Library Club members served them to the guests of the tea. The library was decor- ated to the theme of Christmas. A tree was set up in the center of the room and gay dec- orations were used to brighten up parts of the library-tinsel, holly wreaths, and pine predominating. An unusual decoration this year was the two reindeer heads which are mounted on the library wall. A wreath was hung on back of the reindeeris nose and icicles were draped over the antlers. The girls who act as assistant librarians for Miss Scott are proud to do so because they are in constant contact with books, informa- tion on authors and information on any other subject. Under Miss Scott, the library has grown to be completely up to date and is conside1'ed as one of the best among other school libraries. Seated, l. to r.: A. Boles, R. Turkily, J. Rupani, E.

Under the di- rection of Miss Tiano this club approaches and discusses some subjects not learned during the regular class. To be eligible to join the Com- mercial Club, one must be a junior or senior who is taking the commercial course. At the meetings, the club members had planned pro- grams consisting of demonstrations of the various machines used in the business world, how they are operated, what use is made of them, and their profitability. They discussed 1-inplover-employee relationships, what will be expected of them, how to dress and how to act. Occasionally movies were shown which tried to teach Improvements in Teclmiques in Typing. All typing students were invited to attend these movies. Students of the Secre- tarial Office Practice Classes also attended the meetings and actively participated in these discussions. Every question that was brought up was answered by Nliss Tiano and the other members ot' the club. As a means of obtaining money for the Row l, I. to r.: C. Daske. Row 2: P. llorsos, M. A.

With the profits earned from this project, the Commercial Club has bought the clock in the typing room and each year the club buys an award for the highest student in the Commercial Department. In December. the animal dance of the club was held in the school fym. Every member of the club volunteerec to serve on a committee to make the dance successful. A picnic was held in South Park in May for the enjoyment of the club members and its sponsor. This is to be an annual event for the girls. Officers were selected early in the year to nlan the various activities engaged in during the year. They are as follows: Nora Rodri- guez. Presidentg Nancy Strongosky, Vice- presidentg and Bertha Mae Hollaway, Secre- tary-treasurer. As a result of joining this club. the active members are sure to have gained the basic re- quirements necessary to be tomorrow's lead- ers. Seated, l. to r.: Mrs. Lowery, S. Watson. 1st Row: C.

Members of the group planned several musical programs to be presented be- fore the club during the year. Members that also participate in the band, for example, pre- sented a program of classical records which were explained by a club member. Such pro- grams as these are to familiarize the students with classical music. Following the tradition for the most un- usual dance of the year, a Bow and Tie Dance was held in the gym. Prizes were awarded for the prettiest how and tie. Alice Linkesh, Glenda Holland. Carol Christy, Carol Maroni and Shirley VVatson received prizes for the prettiest bows, Lee Tucci and Donald Mackey for the ties. The club is proud of a project completed this year after several unsuccessful attempts for they succeeded in raising funds for the material for a long desired set of collapsible risers for the chorus. This project was built by the senior boys of the wood shop and su- pervised by Mr. Sauter. Other activities promoted by this group this year have been the purchase of records for the schoolls library, an annual picnic and an active quartet. Mrs. Lowry, the clubls sponsor, and the following club officers can be proud of their record this year: President, Frank WVilgocki: Vice-President, Albert Shearsong Sec., Ramona Vega, and Treasurer, jane Powell. land The band, for the first time in eleven years, has a new director in Mr. DiPasquale. Much credit goes to him for the fine work he has done with the band whose chief function it is to perform at all the games, both home and away, and at assemblies. The biggest project of the year was buying jackets for senior band members. Myrna Sonnenberk, head majorette. is to be com- mended for a very creditable job this year. Flowers were presented to Myrna Sonnen- berg and Shirley Dennis at the final home game. This procedure was in keeping with the traditional courtesy afforded departing senior majorettes.

Poltel, Xl, lhnat CHORUS 1952-53 The chorus this year had sixty-five voices that blended into a smooth harmonv. Their first appearance was during National Educa- tion IVeelt. In conjunction with the National llonor Society the chorus supplied the music for a play 'iSchools for Freedomfi In November the chorus was asked to sup- plv the music for the dedication of the Han- over Township Crade School. At a special Thanksgiving assembly presented with the F. H. A. and Tri-Hi-Y, the choral arrangement of Bless This House hrought the meaning ot the holidav season closer to the students. In December the chorus prepared their annual Christmas program. Miss Kosoyec directed the pantomime section of the Christ- mas sing. She called on students from all five classes to enact the Musical Christmas Cardsl' presented by the chorus to the assemhly. January brought ahout a special project repairing and filing all music. ln February the chorus heard the Tam- buritzans from Duquesne University. County contests were scheduled for March at Charleroi. From the chorus a small group of thirty-five was chosen according to experi- ence. interest and type of voice. Thev proud- lv won first place in this contest and look for- ward to other victories. Spring brought various activities of sing- ing engagements-concerts. haccalaureate and eommencement.

These meetings are under the direct super- vision of the club's sponsor, Mr. Albert Di- julio. who has joined the faculty only this year. This group conducts such experiments or projects which may interest them at the time. Some of the experiments attempted this vear were the analytical analvsis of un- known compounds, to make gases and to pro- duce gunpowder. Although Mr. Dilulio re- ports that the time element for the experi- ments was short during these club periods and that the results of the experiments could not be considered too successful, he felt that they were interesting and had educational value for the members. As an activity the members visited the Climax on a field trip this year. In addition to their experiments the bovs act as their instructoris aid during the regular laboratory periods. It can be seen bv the limited size that this organization is onlv starting and we look for- ward toward greater interest in this club which will promote its growth and increase its value to students anticipating college work to include this field.

Mr. Babyak began working with the big linemen while Mr. Nicksick and Mr. Yanni whipped the backficld into shape. This con- tinued for a week until the squad moved to Tomlinson Run Park, West Virginia, where the football camp was held. Here the players worked hard, were fed the right food, and received plenty of sleep. The iirst practice scrimmage was held on the last day of camp. VVith a nucleus of returning lettermen from last vear, Mr. Nicksick had built a fairly strong team. Returning from last year were: Ends, R. Lawrence and Louis Bennett, Tac- kles, B. Thomas and M. Kislag Guards, A. Campos, A. Fave and T. Vafienticg Center, Pasquale, Backs. H. McElhaney, F. Sarracino, B. Cecoma, M. Trimarki and Pace. During the season halfback Bob Cecoma was iniured and unable to play for the rest of the season. Our Blue Devils defeated Waynesburg, South, California, Chartiers, and Trinity while being defeated by Cecil, Midland, WVest Alle- gheny and Canonsburg. The Blue Devils lost a close game to a spirited Cecil Eleven to open the season. Union then won the next two games in a row bv shellacking Waynesburg and South. The Blue Devils then traveled to Midland where the powerful Leopards downed a fighting Union team. Bouncing back from the loss to Midland, the Blue and White defeated Cali- fornia and then lost a close game to a fired up West Allegheny team. Union again bounced back from defeat to win their next two games. They defeated Chartiers and Trinity. The Blue Devils then lost the last game and the Southwestern Conference Cup to a highly touted Canonsburg team to bring down the curtain on the 1952 season. The 1952 squad compiled a record of 5 wins and 4 losses-the best record since 1947. Everyone connected with the 1952 football squad deserves a great deal of credit for a fine season, a good record, and a very exciting brand of football. The Union high school football reserves had a very successful vear in 1952. Although they played but one game. they showed their skill and determination by handing out a 20 to 0 defeat to Trinity's reserves. This squad is composed of second and third string players from the varsity and a few select members from the freshman team. Coached by the very capable Steve Babyak, the boys showed plenty of pep and fire at all practices, and they showed exceptionally well in their one game together. Coach Babvak and the U. 11. rererve squad should be commended for their fine account of themselves during the 1952-53 season. Coach Patsy Yanni's freslnnan eleven went through a tough five game schedule and fin- ished with a record of three wins. one loss. and a tie. The opening day on October 2 saw the little Blue Devils trekking to NVeirton only to bow in the final quarter bv the score of 7-0. A week later. on the local turf. Follansbee fought the locals to a scoreless tie. On October 15. the Yanni-men slaughtered Cauonsburgis Gunners. 221-7. The highest peak of the freshman year came a week later. llighly touted NVashington came into llill Stadium a heavy favorite to win. but a smooth Working U. 11. eleven walloped them. 311 to 13. Then on October 30. the team rounded out the schedule by beating XVest Allegheny. 19-7. Some of the individual stars on this vear's fine team were T. XVichter. lt. Mihalich. li. Maltonv. Murin. C. Mendez. Penderville. D. Irwin. Petrel, B. Cipranic. and Nl. Dillaeeo. The rest of the squad is too numerous to name. but should be commended also for their fine Worli all season long. Not to be forgotten also is Coach Yanni. whose wisdom and experience were important factors in leading the team on to such a successful year. The 1952 version ofthe Union high school freshman squad per- formed excellentlv. They can feel very con- fident.

Under the capa- ble leadership of head coach Bodie Nicksick, the Blue Devils finished in a tie for fifth place in Section Four with Trinity. Washington won the league championship. There were four seniors on the team this year, and one of them, Bill Koval. broke the all time school record for total points scored in one season. The other three seniors were Bill Buxton, lack Kernohan. and Victor Cilson. One junior, Ralph Bomestan, also finished his high school career in basketball due to age. The other varsity starters on the team were Charles Fri- day, Mickey Trimarki, and Chico Senczvszyn. Also not to be forgotten are the boys who werenit quite good enough to make the varsi- ty, but who gave those boys already on the varsity plenty of competition. Mr. Tony's dBi, squad also came through with a very good season, despite their record. Our team held public interest and manv sports-minded people followed the Blue Devils throughout the year. The students at Union High School can be rightly proud of their basketball team this year for they have furnished us with manv a thrill. B Squad-Bottom row, I. to r.: Mr. Tony, M. Herhert, R.

Illatmen - Wonderful Semen Unionis mat team, for the first year under the direction of Steve Babyak, again romped through a successful season, winning eleven out of fourteen matches. The losses were at the hands of Washington, Trinity and Shaler. After losing to Trinitv bv the score of 26-22, Unionis boys showed their grappling skill and determination when they again met and hand- ed the Hillers their first defeat by Union in four vears to the tune of 31-12. Union's varsi- ty, composed of six seniors, one junior, two sophomores and four freshmen, has been one of the districtis outstanding teams. Twelve Union boys competed in the YVPIAL Class B tournament at VVashington on Februarv 27th and 28th with two coming through to take titles. Harold McElhaney, 185 lb. senior and Richard Bonjiorni, 95 lb. sophomore, took honors at the WVPIAL and competed in the PIAA tourneys which they took with little trouble. They lost out in the state finals with Bonjiorni taking second place in his weight. Coach Babyak did a creditable job in pro- ducing these two champions. an honor any coach would be glad to haveg but not to be forgotten are the other members of the team who worked with Mr. Babyak to make the season successful. The 1952 Union high school baseball team had a very sucessful year. Under the direc- tion of head coach Patsy Yanni, the Blue Dev- ils swept all opposition in Section Four and emerged undefeated as the section champions. ln the first round of the W.P.I.A.L. playoffs, Union drew West View as an opponent and defeated the Indians 2 to 1 to move into the semi-Hnals. But Beaver Falls knocked the locals out of contention as lefty Kirkpatrick blanked them on just three scattered hits. The final record for Union high schoolis baseball team in 1952 was twelve wins and two defeats. That is a very successful season. The team started practicing early in March with workouts in the gym. Practice was at the field only when the weather allowed. which wasn't too often. Hampered by the lack of practice, the Blue Devils treked to Washington on April 3 only to lose, 6-5 in the final inning of play. But as the days passed on, they finally got rolling and won the next twelve in a row before the Beaver Falls de- feat. Leading the way were four seniors, four juniors, and two sophomores. The seniors were joe Pienkosky, Frank Delprato, jack Penderville, and Pete Mudre. Pienkosky was the ace pitcher of the squad, Delprato became the star slugger, Mudre played good all-'round ball, and Penderville was the clutch hitter. The juniors were Raul Campa, Joe Vajentic, Leon Testas, and Fred Sarracino. The sopho- mores were Ralph Romestan and Mickey Tri- marki. Campa, Sarracino, and Trimarki sparked the hitting attack while Romestan, Testas, and Va'entic were the best fielders on the team. Also not to be forgotten are the boys who werenit good enough to make the first team but stuck it out. Mr. Yanni and his 1952 baseball team are to be congratulated for their successful year, and we hope that there will be many more. Bottom Row, l. to r.: ll. Lounder, J. Vajentic, R. Ronivstan, J.
