The purpose of the 1954 U is to create for you, through the use of pictures and Words, a living record of life at Union High School as it has been this year. At the very start We thought of our book in five divisions - faculty, seniors, rlasses, activities, and athletics. Abandoning the traditional idea of a theme We strove to build in our five basic sections a varied yet coherent picture which could be symbolized bv a full page picture at the beginning of each division. At the end of each division We summarized its contents as completely as pos- sible with two full pages of snapshots. Through our close association with the 1954 yearbook We have become very fond of it. WVe hope that your first meeting with it will be a pleasure. In years to come it is our wish that it will become dear to you and help you to relive in memory the days of 1954. gonlfenb QMJ, Sim-,M Cfmi ,641 L'1,,' lm ,414 Er,-M J4Jwr,fW1mf4 4 .iZ5eJic0Lfi01f1, BCCDAN NICKSICK To Mr. Bogdan Nicksicli, the senior class of 1954 is dedicat- ing its annual. He started his teaching career as our class en- tered Union lligh School, and through our years in school he has been not only a teacher but also a friend to all of us. After graduating from Union High School in 1934, Mr. Nick- sick worked at the American Zinc and at the Climax Molybdemnn. Due to an accident in the mill, he decided to resume his educa- tion. He attended several colleges, including George VVashing- ton University, Edinboro State Teachers College, and Texas XVesleyan College, from which he graduated in 1949. During his first year at Union, Mr. Nicksiclc taught eighth grade history, and in addition was assistant football coach, and head basketball coach. In his second year he taught ciyics, and at that time succeeded Mr. Canning as head football coach. At the present time he is teaching health and physical education. ln spite of his many duties both as a teacher and a coach of basketball and football, Mr. Nicksick is also in charge of the Varsity U and patrols the auditorium at lunchtime. lt gives the class of 1954 great pleasure to dedicate its annual to Mr. Niclcsick in appreciation of his teaching. coaching, :md friendship. 3 1 igiffi A ,T wp AM fx ?acultq Bottom Row, l to r: C.

These representatives are elected by the people of the community for a term of six years. The two boards have been operating a high school program jointly since 1917. The school board meets monthly in the administrative office at Union to conduct the affairs of the high school. The officers of the board are as follows: I. R. Culley, president, Leon Testas, vice presi- dent, C. D. Scott, secretary, and G. D. Bianchi, treasurer. The school board, having a difficult and important job, meets as a unit, however, it requires a majority vote of each of the boards to approve any action. The members are always striving to improve the education- al standards at Union. President Culley has appointed the fol- lowing members to serve on special com- mittees: Building Committee Chairman Bianchi, Wagner, Stevenson I ZZW and Caleffie inspect the buildings to see what repairs are needed. Budget Committee Chairman Bertovich, Scott, Stevenson, and Zelenko meet with Mr. Miller and plan a tentative budget for the school year. Band Committee Chairman Zelenko, jones, Scott, and Dalverny approve engagements that the band- leader plans. Athletic Council Wagner, Iones, Latella and Testas serve with two student representatives, a junior and a senior. Two members are from the Burgetts- town Borough Board and two members are from the Smith Township Board. The super- vising principal, the Union High principal, the faculty manager, and the head coaches of each of the sports also serve on the athletic Council. This group of civic-minded men try to keep Union as modern and up-to-date as pos- sible and are of great service to our com- munity. .xdcfminidfrafiue jay HALL, R. DONALD Atlaslxurg, Pa.

Dorene Blue, chairman and also secretary- treasurer of Region B, and other members of the F.H.A. attended the district meeting in October which was held in Berlin. Pennsyl- vania. On january 13, 14, and 15, girls from Union attended the annual farm show in Har- risburg. These girls were: Arlene Borio, jane Powell, Mary Ihnat, Dorene Blue, Pat Clair, Arlene Nardo, and Kathy Welsh. Dorene assumed her duties as treasurer of the state organization. She also served as treasurer in April in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. The officers of the junior F.H.A. chapter are: president, janet Sanders, vice-president, Dorothy Yaksic, secretary, Anita Rometti, treasurer, Rosalie Miller. This chapter is spon- sored bv Mrs. Lunger. It is open only to eighth grade girls. In order to become a mem- ber, each girl must take home economics. This gives the girls a good background for the senior chapter and for later years in life. Although the club is comparatively new, the girls are very active. To raise money they sold UNION HIGH SCHOOL charm braclets. They also held a dance in which a cake walk was featured. The cake was donated hy Ethel Mungello and was won by Carole Maroni and Charles Hawkins. During the club period, the junior F.H.A. was entertained several times by the senior F.H.A. One of the meetings was the Decem- ber meeting. The girls were invited to par- ticipate in a skit that was given. Patricia Lun- ger sang several selections appropriate tor the occasion. Later both clubs joined in singing Christmas carols. Under the expert leadership the girls have grown and learned much. We can truly say we will be proud of our Future Home- makers of America. ,ni A, . ..- Bottom Row, l to r: M. Slack, B. Slater, Lawrence, R. Tllrliily. M. Kllbik, I. llesnik, N. Lnkon. M.

Sdrfsfr. .Q Under the very capable leadership of Miss Scott. of the Alpha. and Miss Kosovec ofthe Beta, the Tri lli Y of Union High School has been made a very outstanding and Well- lilxed club among the students. This club is a member of the Southwestern District and also is associated with the Y.Nl.C.A. The lli Y Works as a brother with the Tri Ili Y to help carrv out some of its many projects. This vear, as in the past. the Beta made its usual trip to the County Home. ln the past vears the Alpha and Hi Y were also able to make this tripg but this vear, because of the large number in the Beta. onlv a few Hi Y members and members of the boys, chorus were able to go. The boys and girls provided entertainment for the patients, and each patient was presented with a small gift which had been brought in bv some member 5 . of the club or donated by individuals from the greater Burgettstown community. This year the annual Tri Hi Y party was held on February 10, with the Tri Hi Y pro- viding the entertainment and refreshments. Each Tuesday and Thursday during the home room period devotions are conducted by this club over the public address svstem. Doris Cree and Patty Morgan are in charge, and the whole student body is able to par- ticipate. A new project added to the club this year was the purchasing of sweaters for the seniors. lied and White were chosen as the colors. On the front of the sweaters was a Y with a Tri Hi Y emblem insert. The 1u1m- bers and emblems were purchased bv the club. The annual Tri Hi Y dance was held October 30 after the Trinity football game. The Tri Hi Y also carried out its traditional selling of mums at the Trinity game. Yellow, white, and orchid were the chosen colors. Un September 24 the installation services were held in the auditorium. Mr. Moorehead and the Midway and Chartiers chapters of the Tri Hi Y were invited as guests. After the installation, refreshments were served and a short social was held. Smlling of salt Water taffy was taken up again this year. The sale began in Novemberg and each member of the club was asked to sell two boxes. ln addition to the many other activities, the Tri Hi Y Beta and Alpha each contributed five dollars to the Y.M.C.A., and fifty dollars to the Public Library fund. On February 14, members of the Beta EM ji chapter took part in collecting donations from people of this community for the Heart Fund drive. Carole WVagner acted as chairman. The Beta sponsored two dances this year. On january 28 a short dance was held after the Newell basketball game, and on April 23 a spring dance was held. Both dances turned out to be successfulg the students attending had enjoyable times. Acting as officers of the Alpha this year were: president, Shirley Thomasg vice presi- dent, Yvonne Martin, secretary, Nancy Sugick, treasurer, Angela Yaco, program chairman, Margaret Ann NVilson, chaplains, Pattv Mor- gan and Doris Cree.

The Hi-Y, under the supervision of Mr. James Kimberland, began the ,53-T54 school term with Harrv Pappas as president, Mickey Trimarki as vice-president, Ralph Romestan as secretary, joseph Haba as treasurer, An- thony Bologna as publicity directorg and Robert Lawrence as sergeant at arms. On Tuesday, September 29, initiation was held for the boys who were voted into the club by the Hi-Y members. The new members are: Ronald Maltony, Mike DiBacco, Charles Abate, Paul Liebisch, john Kinkela, Ray Durko, Delvin Irwin, Robert Friday, Nick Diamond, Tom Rose, and Eddie lhnat. During the October meeting, various committees were chosen by all the members of the club: Program Committee with Iohn Kladakis as chairman, Signmaking Committee with Peter Cobleck as chairman, Ticket Sell- ing Committee with Robert F ridav as chair- man, Finance Committee with Ralph Romes- tan as chairmang and Project Committee with Mickey Trimarki as chairman. Also at the A October meeting the Hi-Y decided to have a dance on February 19 for the benefit of the club. On December 12, a party was held for all the Hi-Y members and their guests. During the December meeting, a new method of voting for officers was devised. From now on, officers will be chosen by placing all of the club members, names in a hat and pick- ing them out at random instead of bv the usual method of voting. Also in December, several Hi-Y members helped the Beta Tri- Hi-Y in their trip to the County Home, which is made annually. Records were another pro- ject of the Hi-Y club. They were purchased for the record machine used in the gymnasium for all the various school dances. The National Foundation for the Blind is onlv one of the many organizations which benefit from the generosity of the Union Hi-Y. This year's work has been a gratifying experience for Hi-Y members and they antici- pate another successful year. Bottom Row, l to rl R, Durko, Ayres, M. DiBacco, A. Fay, R. Romestan, H.

It consists of the 1953-54 Spanish II class, who are the active members, and the 1952-53 Spanish II class, who are members, but are unable to attend meetings. The last Friday of the month is the day set aside as their club period and on this dav regular class is not held. This year since there is only one Spanish II Class, there is only one set of officers. They are: David Miller, president, Nick Diamond, vice presidentg Martha Dugas, secretary-treasurer. In order to acquire a better knowledge of Spanish the meetings are conducted in that language. One of the main projects of the club this year was to deliver baskets of food to a needy family in the Bnrgettstown area, one for Thanksgiving and one for Christmas. The baskets were prepared during the club period. Each member of the club brought in either a toy, an article of clothing, or food. The members arranged these neatlv in the basketg this basket was then delivered to the needy family by one of the boys in the group. In her seventh year as advisor to Los Amigos at Union High School is the very capable Senora Pusateri. In the past years los espanoles have been noted for their different dancesg one of the most remembered among the students is the Sadie Hawkins Dance held in 1951. Their annual dance this year kept up this standard, and it too will be remembered for a long time. On United Nations' Day some members of the club participated in a program present- ed bv the Senior National Honor Society with the Chorus. They did appropriate folk dances to the music of Italy, France, Poland, England and Spain. si For Row 1. I to r: E. Stevens, C. Scott, M. Sandy, D. Hagan. Row 2: K. Matije- vich, R. Preston, D.

This club is under the capable guidance of Miss Tiano, the club sponsor. One eligibility rule of the Commercial Club is that a student be a junior or senior and take the commercial course. At the monthly club meetings the members discuss qualities which will help them to be successful in the business world, and problems With which they will be confronted. Some of the discussions are on the pleasant personality of the office Workerg what goes on behind the scenes of an ordinary business officeg the dif- ferent types of executive personalities and how the secretary must cope with each oneg what modern business expects of a high school student. The course also presents talks on office etiquette, proper dress, cosmetics, what to do when applying for a job. and other points of concern and importance to a potential sec- retary. The Commercial Club gives an award to the most outstanding student in the commer- cial course and also helps to finance the cost of 'Todayis Secretaryh. which is a magazine containing information and helpful ideas for prospective secretaries. The club pays half the cost of the magazine and in this way en- .ibles every member of the secretarial office practice and shorthand II classes to purchase a subscription to the magazine. The club sponsors several activities that will enable them to niake a profit. One of the activities is the selling of candy at all home basketball games and wrestling matches. The officers of the club are: Mary Ann McKee. president, Roberta Preston, vice-presi- dent. and Kathryn Matiievich. secretary trea- surer. These girls, under the supervision of Miss Tiano, deeply enjoy their club activities. Onc of thc most hclpful cluhs at Union is the Lihrairy Cluh.

To start this year the club took in new members and had elections for officers. The officers elected were: president, James Do- min, vice president, Charles Wright, secretary- treasurer, Richard Bongiorni. All of the work on the sets for the junior and senior plays is done by these members. Also, they help in the repairing and refinish- ing of broken desks and seats. Club meetings, which are held in the wood shop of the industrial arts building, are used by the members for their own pro- jects, one of these was the making of archery sets. The proper use of machinery, an import- ant factor for all members, is stressed highly. The maintenance, repair, and proper use of machinery is taught to new members by Mr. Sauter and older members of the club. Build- ing and repairing must be learned by each member. With the clubis efforts the members gain much in this line of work. This valuable construction information will be an asset in future years even if the members do not intend to follow this field as a lifetime vocation. The members are always ready and eager to undertake any task, no matter how large or small it may be. Their motto on building is: The bigger the job, the bet- ter we like itf, This is proved many times during the school year. The club has a limited membership, but this year they accepted more members than usual. With a total of sixteen, they success- fully tackled many difficult jobs. ,jfre .y1fLc!oa51fr1fa! .xgrlfd Bottom Row, l to r: bl. Maroni, F. Matsko, W. Brodmcrkle. 2nd Row: D. Miller, C. VV1'ight, R.

A. are: Doris Hawkins, presidentg Shirley Hawkins. vice president and program chairmang Janice Yanek, secretaryg Margaret Roberts, treasurer. The C. A. A. sponsored a skating party at the Langeloth hall this year. The attend- ance was very goodg the club raised enough money from this party to buy basketball uniforms and jackets. The jackets are for the senior girls. The regular girls' basketball team is made up of the following girls: Frances XVojcik, Doris Hawkins, Shirley Hawkins. Shirley Bock. janet Slack, Shirley Bennett, Wfiletta Reid, Norma Lee Brown, Daryle NVQ-bster, and Donna Bomestan. The other members also participate in the game.

The Girls' Athletic Association has a benefit show at the Mary Ann Theater and sponsored a polka dance to help raise funds for the club. A trip to the WVeirton Recreation Center was also enjoyed. During their club periods the members discuss old business that must be dispensed, and then suggestions are brought up on how improvements can be made in the club. After the business portion is over, the girls either play basketball or dance. Some of the girls teach the others diffe1'ent kinds of dances. The C. A.

Mr. Longevitsh, who takes an active interest in designing and build- ing model planes. was instrumental in organ- izing this club. The monthly meetings, which were held in the metal shop. were used primarily for the building of model planes. The necessary tools, equipment, and materials were obtained from the school. The members worked on similar pro- jects. They started with simple gliders and progressed to small motor planes. Each de- sign was made by the members and was du- plicated for the use of all members. One Saturday a month the club held a contest called flight sessionv which was held in the gymnasium. Prizes for these meets were contributed by Mr. XVayne Culley, a local merchant. These prizes. Certificates of Achievement. were given for the best planes of a class. At the end of the year trophies were given to the best planes. The judging was based on neatness, construction, and flying endurance. The members of the club held a success- ful dance in the gymnasium and two skating parties to raise money for tools and material used by the club. To start the year rolling the club elected the following officers: Floyd Thomas, presi- dentg Joe Cindrieh, vice presidentg Carl Rubin, secretaryg Robert Spiotta, treasurer. The club also chose members for their committees. The contest committee super- vised the flight sessions. A social committee planned dances and skating parties. All the members worked hard for the model show held at the end of the vear in the gymnasium. This event was the highlight :if the clubis activities. Included in this model show were all the planes made bv the mem- bers aloug with the awards and trophies awarded these planes and their owners. The Lyre Club is composed of students who are either especially talented or very much interested in music. Each month a program committee is chosen to provide en- tertainment for the club members. The stu- dents on the program committee may perform before the club members or read an article about music. The theme for the entertainment depends upon the month. For December a beautiful Christmas program was presented. Club meetings are held once a month. This club is comparatively new and was established soon after Mrs. Lowry came to Union. The clubis name comes from the lyre, a small instrument which is similar to the harp. The club has one special traditiong it tries to present the most unusual dance of the year. This time it was the XVaist Dance. The amount of admission paid bv each person corresponded to the number of inches around his Waist. Everyone was advised to eat heartily before coming to the dance. The special at- traction was a cake walk, which was won by David Miller and jo-Ann Hemphill. This year the club's project was to buy a dolly for the piano in the auditorium. A dolly is the device used to move heavy objects. lt will be very useful to the school. This year's officers which were elected last May, arc: Jane Powell, presidentg Rosalie Schilinski, vice presidentg Frank McChancey, secretaryg and Ronald Cetsinger, treasurer. Each year the club plans either a picnic or party for its members. Last vear the mem- bers had a picnic at the Burgettstown Com- munity Park in june. They played games and had a delicious picnic lunch. Since last vear's picnic was a success, this year the plans are the same. The Lyre Club works with the chorus on many occasions. The aim of both the Lyre Club and the chorus is to stress music appreciation. 1. J... 54.4 Bottom Row. l to r: I.. Nesbit. N c.UllIllll7l'l li ll'u'rell I Powell ll 1 , . 1 . . , . Cetsinger, ll.

The council consists of four school board mem- bers - two members are from the Smith Township Board and two members are from the Burgettstown Borough Board - the super- vising principal. the high school principal, head coaches of each of the sports, represent- atives from the senior and junior class. and the facultv manager, Mr. Mervosli. john Zelenko was elected as the president of the council, Pat Yanni was chosen as vice- president, and Nick Mervosh was chosen to be the secretary-treasurer. The athletic council is responsible for making plans in regard to the varsity athletic teams. They also recommend the purchases of new equipment, set admission prices, dis- cuss schedulcs for games. print tickets, and plan athletic finances. The members discuss any problem involving high school sports. such as policing the grounds at the games and obtaining transportation for the players. By doing these things, the council reduces work and saves time for the school board. The final approval of any proposal must be sent to the Borough-Smith Township School Board where the proposal must be stamped approved or disapproved. The members of the Athletic Council, meeting before and after each sports season, plan for the oncoming sports season and give reports on the preceding season. joe Pace, the senior member, is serving his second year while George Rollage is in his first year. cxglfdific Glnnczf Bottom Row, l to r: C.

The refreshment stand gives our fans the energy to cheer our team on to victory. The refreshment stand is under the super- vision of Mr. Kimberland. Mr. Kimberland has enlisted the aid of Mrs. Kimberland who has helped make things run smoothlv at the' stand this vear.

These Workers received manv compliments on the delicious hot coffee and hot dogs they served which were most welcome on those cold nights. The stand was open for all the varsity, B-Squad, and freshman football games. Mr. Kimberland received cooperation from the members. They worked together with speed.

The student council's main purpose is to represent the student body. One of their duties is solv- ing any problems which arise in school. They give each problem much thought and consideration. realizing that they represent not just themselves but the Whole student body. The council is composed of the presi- dent of each class and president and vice president of each home room. Dom Trimarki was elected president, Martha Dugas, vice president, Doris Cree, secretary treasurer. The council advisor is Mr. Mervosh. Although no regular meetings are held, anytime a problem arises Mr. Mervosh or the president calls a meeting. One of the accomplishments of the coun- cil Was relieving congestion in the halls by setting up a hall patrol. The hall patrol cap- tains Were Dorene Blue and Steve Shearson. This yearis student council has worked on the problem of setting up a standard class ring. Two student council members from each class were selected as the committee for this project. The representatives of the various classes Were: senior, Dorene Blue and Dom Trimarki, junior, joe Haba and Liberty Za- betakis, sophomore, Deanna Bertovich and james Pace, freshmen, Stephenie Mis and Charles Cunningham, eighth grade David Hoover and Mildred Kampian. This com- mitteeis first job was to hold class meetings to find out Whether or not the students want- ed a standardized ring. The student council is not only helpful to the students in solving their problems. but also to the faculty by relieving them of some of their duties. The student council has again this year followed the tradition of the student councils of past years in endeavoring to make Union High School a more pleasant school to attend. The Varsity U began a successful year with the election of the following officers: Dominick Trimarki, presidentg Ralph Homes- tan, vice presidentg Dick Donati, secretary- treasurer. The activities of the club are under the supervision of varsity football and basket- ball coach, Bogdan Nicksick. Varsity U jackets are given by the club to senior members. The boys pay half the price, and the Varsity U pays the remaining half. To earn the money for the jackets, many activities are sponsored. One method of earn- ing money is selling programs at the football games. Not all the profit from the programs is theirs. From the profit comes the money for sports posters and films of the football games. The Pepsi-Cola machine is the second money-making method. The boys are respon- sible for the filling of the machine and the picking up of the bottles. Mr. Nicksick is ever present to see that these tasks are carried out. The presentation of the Christmas holi- day public dance, which has become an annual affair, was enjoyed by many students and alumni. An orchestra furnished the music for this event. During the course of the year other dances were held by various squads. Gold charms were given to senior var- sity squad members who had maintained a C average during their three years in senior high. The charms represent the sport in which the boy was most prominent. The club was very proud of one of its members this year who received the Player of the Week TV award. The football award was first given to Dominick Trimarki on the Iay Michael show then engraved and pre- sented at an assembly by Mr. Hall. To become a member of the Varsity U is an honor that is held in high esteem by all boys who have athletic ability. Mrrdify ff! Bottom Row, l to r: F. Sedlak, F. Matsko, 1. Miehelucci, R.

It is printed at the local printing office in easy- to-read black type and it is published at the end of each month as a regular newspaper. Students may become customers by subscrib- ing at the beginning of the school year or by paying ten cents monthly for one copy. All members of the staff are seniors. Each month Mrs. Harris selects a page editor for each section of the four-page issue. The pages cover the news in this manner, page l, all the important news, page 2, feature articles, edi- torials, letters-to-the editor, and sometimes, poetry, page news of secondary importance and all social events, page 4, sports, page and all news pertaining to athletics. Reporters are responsible to these page editors. The editoifs job is to discover possible stories and assign them to the reporter, rewrite and choose bet- ter stories, write headlines, read copy, lay out pages, and keep assignment sheets. The reporter, who must always be alert for news, is responsible for writing most of the stories. .Each reporter has a certain beat which he must cover at a certain time. The advisor, Mrs. Harris. co-ordinates and guides the thinking of the staff. She has the final opinion of what will and will not be printed. The Hi-Lite staff also publishes a Valen- tineis Day issue and a Senior issue each year. The newspaper is supported by money gained from the sale of the papers and from a dance sponsored by the staff. On Novemher 24, 1953, the class of 1954 proudly presented their senior play entitled No More Homeworkf' Under the supervision of Mrs. Pusateri, the faculty director, and Irene Bokulich, student director, the play was presented as a matinee for students in the afternoon and an evening performance for adults.

This year, during an illness which required the absence of Mr. DiPasquale for many weeks, the band was directed by Mrs. Ruth Lowry. To show their gratitude to Mrs. Lowry, the band presented her with a dozen red roses. The band, made up of fifty-four members, eight of which are majorettes, elected the following officers: president, jessie McCoy, vice president, janet McDonald, secretary, Vincent Boller, treasurer, Norma Lee Brown, publicity chairman, Shirley Hawkins. Students are graduated into the band after completing a course in the junior band. At the last football game, the junior band joined the regular band in playing the Alma Materu. They also played selections in the annual spring concert, which is the highlight of the bandis activities. During the Christmas season, the band broadcasted Christmas music from the audi- torium into the classrooms by means of the public address system. The band also furn- ished music for the Halloween parade and the homecoming of P. O. W., Gregory Sarish. On Memorial Day the band paraded in Bur- gettstown, Raccoon, Cherry Valley, and Bul- ger. Afterwards, they were served a light lunch in Bulger. The band also took part in the parades celebrating the Midway Centen- nial and the Burgettstown and Slovan Fire Department street fairs. Vincent Boller and joe Haba represented Union at a conference held at Bethany Col- lege in November. In February joe Haba and Jessie McCoy were admitted to the annual Western Pennsylvania District Band. Ioan Cole, the head majorette, is to be congratulated for the job she accomplished, along with the fine majorette squad. They added much color to the band. A lot of credit goes to Mr. DiPasquale for the good work he is doing, and to the student director, Bobby Vega, who takes over when Mr. DiPasquale is absent. ZZW! Bottom Row, l to r: D. Robertson, M.

The chorus has presented en- joyable programs at many events this year. The girls' and boys' choruses sent the following people to County Chorus as repre- sentatives of Union High School: Iosephine Comis, Pattv Clair, lane Powell. Carole Ma- roni, Marlayna Farulli, Ronald Getsinger, Richard Owens. Fred Crupe. and Lee Tucci. This Countv Chorus. which was composed of representatives from all high schools in VVash- ington Couutv, sang for Teachers, Institute in October. Earlv in December, practice for the Christmas program was begun. On December 18. the girls, and bovs, choruses presented their Christmas program. There were sacred numbers, such as: O Ilolv Nightn and i'Cesu Bambinof' secular numbers: ulted Berries and Mistletoev and Silver Bellszp and various other songs. Solos were sung bv Pattv Clair and Marlene Bihum. Miss Kosovee narrated the program. On Ianuarv 15-16. 1954, District Chorus was held at Vandergrift. Pennsvlvania. Those persons from our school participating in the chorus were: Marlene Bihum. first sopranog Ronald Getsinger. first tenorg and Fred Crupe. second bass. Last vear. Uniouis chorus placed first in the Countv Forensic Music Contest held at Charleroi, Pennsvlvania. and also in the Dis- trict Forensic Contest. which was held at California, Pennsvlvania. This enabled the chorus to compete in the State Forensic Finals held at Pittsburgh. The girls placed third in this last contest. That. in itself, was an achievement in which all the school takes pride. VVhen spring came, there were more programs which reouired more practice. A few of them were the spring concert. bacca- laureate. and connnencement. All in all. these girls and bovs have worked hard, and they surely deserve our appreciation.

The first two weeks were spent getting the boys into shape for the tough road ahead. The boys were very inexperienced but they all learned fast. Each and every boy that participated in football this season deserves plenty of credit. A capacity crowd viewed the first home game of the season with Cecil. Both teams relied on their defensive ability as they played to a scoreless deadlock. Poor weat er con- ditions dampened the spirits of both teams. The second game of the season saw the Blue Devils trek to Waynesburg in their first South Western Conference game. Don Res- nik scored twice, once on a twenty-nine yard end run and again on a four yard pass from Trimarki. Trimarki scored on a quarterback sneak and Witcher raced twenty yards for another score after picking off a fumble. Union traveled to South High for their third game of the season. The Blue Devils jumped off to a 6-0 lead midway in the first quarter and added a safety in the final period for an 8-0 victory. Trimarki threw a twenty yard pass to Kinkela for the touchdown and Tenaglia 'tackled Zoblonski for the safety. Union played host to a highly-rated Scott Township eleven. The spirited Blue Devils showed great determination and drive but lost out to their opponent by the score of 18-13. Union scores came on a nine yard pass play from Trimarki to Rollage and on a two yard plunge by Friday. This loss put the Blue Devils out of the W. P. I. A. L. running. Union traveled to California for their second Southwest Conference game. The Trojans of California, who were losing until the fourth quarter, came from behind to de- feat the Blue Devils by the score of 24-20. Kinkela scored all three of the Blue Devils' touchdowns on successive passes of 16, 50, and 53 yards from quarter-back Trimarki. Union entertained an underdog but tough West Allegheny eleven at home and finally won by the score of 12-6. Guard Al Fay picked up a fumble and raced 42 yards for the Blue Devils, first score, and Pal Roberts scored the other on a nineteen yard pass from Trimarki. Union traveled to Chartiers and played a young, spirited Chartiers team. The Blue Devils had a fairly easy time as they defeated the Buccaneers 29-0. Herky Romestan scored two touchdowns on passes of forty-two and thirty-eight yards. Kinkela and Roberts also scored for the Blue Devils. This seemed to be the game in which the Blue Devils gained confidence in themselves as a team as they played one of their best games of the season. Union played host to their traditional rivals, the Trinity Hillers. The Nicksick men were twenty-one point underdogs at the start of the game. The Blue Devils brought the wildly-cheering Union fans to their feet in an exciting 26-18 climax. The Hillers scored early in the game but the Blue Devils came roaring back with Kinkela scoring two touch- downs on passes of thirty and thirty-nine yards. Friday and Trimarki also scored touch- downs, Friday on a 'thirty yard pass and Trimarki on a one yard plunge. As always all good things must come to an end. Next the Canonsburg Gunners invaded Hill Memorial Stadium. The game Blue Devils were defeated 14-12 as eight seniors played their last game for Union.

Only four lettermen returned for the new cage year. The seniors Were Dan Calan, Mic- key Trimarki, and Carl Senczyszyn. Only one junior Charles Friday, remained from last yearis team. Coach Nicksick wo1'ked the squad out rigorously every evening, training them for the long season ahead. They had practice games with Hickory, Elwood City, Chester, and Chartiers to improve their play. They won the first game of the season against Clark 41 to 20. Dan Calan led the section in scoring with an average of seventeen points a game and broke Unionis individual scoring record with 313 poi11ts. The basketball team of ,54 was proud to claim Dannyis fine playing. Union also had two good pivot men. Mickey Trimarki and Meats Friday got almost every rebound from the backboard. Harry Pappas and Chico Senczyszyn played their guard positions well and made some remarkable shots from the outside of the court. The two managers should receive a lot of credit for their fine job. They were Richard Donati and Chicken Shearson. John Kinkela, Bob Friday, .md Richard Hampton served as capable subs. With not too much height Union depended on fast breaks and good defense. The whole team could shoot well and play good defense. enior ln Section lV play, Union ended in fourth place with a record of five wins and seven losses. Under Coach Nicksick, Union is getting respect from the surrounding school cage teams. The reserves, coached by the capable Mr. Tony, played all the preliminary games to the varsity contests. In this Way they gained valuable experience which will aid them in their future years on the varsity squad. The squad consisted of three sophomores and two juniors. The boys who look like sure varsity material are john Kinkela, Bob Friday, George Rollage, Ronald Cilson, and Andrew Kortyna. Mr. Tony,s freshmen team has made a very good showing for this season. The can- didates had to start from scratch bv learning the rules and simplest fundamentals such as shooting, dribbling, and various types of of- fense and defense. They were willing to learn and the fact that they learned well was evi- dent in their games. Not much would have been accomplished without the tireless efforts of Mr. Tony. He had some good ball plavers in W. Brunner, T. Schilinski, I. Antonetti, C. Cun- ningham, Riddle, and R. DiOrio. They beat such teams as Hickory, Trinity, McDonald, East Washington, and Peters Township. Mr. Tony is to be commended for his effort toward better basketball teams at Union. oopazfem L to r: llarrv Pappas, Danny Calan, Richard Hampton, Carl Senczyszyn, Dominick Trimarki. omiolf wrdify g6L:5A8iA6L!!

Coach Pat Yanni. 60658 ACL! The 1953 Union lligh School baseball team performed exceptionally well under the capable coaching of Pat Yanni by winning Section IV and going to the Semi Finals in VV.P.l.A.L. playoffs. They had a great year. Of the twelve games played, Union won ten and lost only two. They lost to Clavsville in Section IV and they lost to Evans City in the Semi Finals of VV.P.I.A.L. playoffs onlv after an even battle to the tenth inning with the final score seven to six.

Performers on the mound were Butch Sarracino, nine wins and one lossg Richard Mihalich, one win and one loss. Butch Sarracino's pitching abilitv was so outstanding that he may become one of our major league stars in a few years. He is now playing in the minor league. The catching was done bv Spike Berto- vich, who did a very good job behind the plate. The lettered members of the squad were as follows: seniors: Raul Campa, Ioe Vajentic, Butch Sarracino, and Leon Testasg juniors: Mickey Trimarki, Ralph Romestan, and Spike Bertovich: sophomores: joe Kortyna, Don Res- nik, and George Rollageg freshmen: Richard Mihalich.

Mis. ucraify The cheerleaders of Union High School have greatly increased in number this year. The girls are divided into three groups: the Varsity squad, the B-squad, and the Reserve squad. Have you noticed the new skirts that the cheerleaders have been wearing? The girls sponsored a dance and raised enough money to buy the material for those ski1'ts. The varsity girls who cheered our boys on to victory at football games were: Alice Brunner as head cheerleader, Marlene Bihum, Doris Hawkins, Dorene Blue, Helen Mis, Cynthia Sciamanna, and Daryle WVebster. Because so many of the basketball games and wrestling matches occur on the same night, the cheering squad has had to be di- vided into two groups. The cheerleaders were given their choice as to which sport they would follow. There were eight girls cheer- ing for each sporting event. Those who cheered for basketball were: Alice Brunner, Doris Hawkins, Marlene Bihum, Dorene Blue, Doris Baker, Janet Besnik, Donna Mika, VVilma Senszvszyn, QQPAQJQPJ Blanche Petricca, Patricia Plate, and Mary lane Richey. Those who followed wrestling we1'e: Helen Mis, Cynthia Sciamanna, Daryle Web- ster, Margie Kubik, Carol Mis, Deanna Ber- tovich, Lillian Kover, Marlayna Farulli, and Norma Mancinelli. Because the cheerleaders must maintain a C average, several of them are sometimes temporarily laid offv. As soon as the C aver- age is regained, the cheerleader returns to the squad. If a C average is not maintained for two consecutive semesters, the girl is automatically disqualified. The cheerleaders are sponsored by Mrs. Pusateri. The girls practice every night during the eighth period under her supervision. The cheerleaders, with Mrs. Pusateriis help, make up their own routines for the cheers. During football season the cheerleaders travel to the games on the band bus. For basketball and wrestling they travel on the bus with the players. The cheerleaders were pleased with the cheering section they had this year. ski- :uni 'lm' gm- rwulx' im' notion.
