Zollars. VVe hope that it will be a small token of our gratitude. You have not only given us a better understanding of our language in your English classes, but also a deeper appreciation of our culture in your Literature classes. During our years here at Union, you have readily sacrificed your free time and evenings in order to help us with the year- book, and as our junior class advisor, with the selection of our class rings, and with the sale of magazines. How can We ever torget your wonderful sense of luunor and your congenial man- ner as you sat with us helping us to make flowers for our Eve- ning in Paristv' When We Shook the Family Tree you must have felt as though you were standing under it. YVe have certainly given you many problems to solve and many difficult days.

A Well-prepared and capable junior class of 1955-56 entered the halls of Union High School last September. They were a little hesitant about taking on the various junior projects but chose some able classmates to lead them. The people Whom they selected as their leaders Were: joseph Antonetti as president, Sue Figley as vice-president, jan- et Sugick as secretary-treasurer, and Tom Recd as junior representative to the athletic council. Seeing that their treasury was in a rather depleted state. this junior class decided that 12 glam, their first project would he the sale of maga- zines. Uncler the clirection ot Mrs. Pusateri. their class aflvisor, the magazine sales were started on November 3. An all time high rec- orcl of sales was set hy this classg they sur- passecl all other junior classes hy selling over 962,200 worth of magazines.

The Hi-l.ite is a monthly publication of the journalism class of Union High School. All members of the staff are seniors who are get- ting their first taste of newspaper work under the capable guidance of their sponsor, Mrs. llarris. To obtain the Hi-Lite one may buy a sub- scription at the beginning of the year or pur- chase it each month as it comes from the press. just as in newspapers operated on a larger scale, sales alone do not provide the neces- sary capital for running the paper, therefore, additional resources are obtained by selling advertising space to local businessmen. One of the principal handicaps under which the staff labors is the lack of their own printing press. They must depend on the local printing office to get their paper out on time. The composition of the Hi-Lite is as fol- lows: page one features write-ups of forth- coming eventsg page two contains editorials, special events, and follow-ups of previous eventsg page three has complete coverage of all athletic events in which the athletes of Union have competed, page four consists of anecdotes. features and miscellaneous news. Besides the regular editions, two special issues - Valentine and Commencement- are dittoed and run off by the staff themselves. Each month Mrs. Harris assigns different page editors, thereby relegating the respon- sibility of seeing that all material is in on time to the four chosen students. By rotating the staff she also gives each student an oppor- tunity to experience all phases of newspaper work. 14 5 Kamal Tlu- hcst word with which to flcscrihc thc Stnclcnt Councilis Work this past ya-au' is co- opcluitivm- , Mcmlmcrs ot thc council wcrc calch of thc class prcsitlcnts and lioincroom prcsiclcnts uncl vicc prcsiclcnts.

Coin 1011 4 f NVith the addition of a new guidance pro- gram at Union High School a new club was organized, lts members were the junior and senior girls who were interested in nursing as a career. Nliss George, the guidance counselor, is the advisor. and she meets with the girls once a month. At the meetings they discuss such topics as which hospital they will train in or which plan of obtaining their R.N.', is most feasible. Nliss George suggested that the girls choose a few hospitals they would like to visit. The club's first trip was to the VVashing- ton Hospital. Student nurses, acting as guides, took the girls through the hospital. The girls also toured the student nurses' dormitories. A few of the girls were so well impressed with the hospital and its maintenance that they made applications for admission to the hospital for next fall. Later in the year the club visited the Pres- byterian Hospital in Pittsburgh, a larger hos- pital than the NVashington Hospital. Some members of the club made inquiries about the hospitalis college program. With Miss Ceorgeis help the girls had a very nice year and leamed much to help them in their future nursing careers.

The Girls' Athletic Association is an organi- zation whose purpose is lo teach the girls good sportsmanship. lt is composed of girls he- longing to the sophomore, junior, and senior classes. The girls, activities are numerous. They play haskethall, volleyball, and softball. Dur- ing their cluh period they dance and partici- pate in sports. Each senior memher of the club received a sweater this year. The GAA sponsored a dance in the school gymnasium in Octohcr after the liellmar game. They held a cakewalk for which Rosemary Nice baked a delicious cake. Chuckie Cun- ningham and Nancy Cree were the lucky win- ners of the cakewalk. The cluh held a Christmas party this year in the school gym during the Decemher clulm period. The chairman of the committee was Wiletta Reid. An enjoyable evening was spent during this period. Refreshments were served. The last activity of the school year for the girls was a cluh picnic held at the Raccoon State Park. Each girl hrought something to help make the picnic a success. They swam. played games, and went rowing on the lake. The CAA school term was very successful under the guidance of Nlrs. Beyer, physical education instructor. ...fX'w-V I' N . M Q. , J -lr. F. II.

Its purpose is to create. maintain, and extend throughout the home, school, and community high standards of Christian character. All junior and senior girls are eligible to become members of the Alpha club. In September the Alpha officers planned and conducted an induction service for all the new members of both the Alpha and Beta clubs. Each Tuesday and Thursday the chaplains conduct devotions over the public address system with student volunteers Who assist them. In May, a Mother-Daughter banquet was held. At this banquet, officers for the follow- ing year were installed. The project carried on by the club alter- nates each yearg however it is either a club, community, or World service project. Last year, the members are proud to say, they helped finance their vice president, Sally Lof- fert, to the XVorId Centennial which was held in Paris, France. This was the first time that Union High School had the honor of having a student chosen a delegate to a meeting in a foreign country. This year the club's project was to raise money for the Burgettstown Pub- lic Library. Means of making money were the annual Mum,' dav at the Moon Town- ship game. the selling of salt water taffy, and the selling of ball point pens. This active group carries out its purpose yearly by setting high standards for others to see and follow. ' .1 JL. Q.

Llfldlf The Varsity U hegan a successful year with an election. the results of which tound Richie Blihalich, presidentg Ronnie Maltony, yiee presidentg and Eddie lhnot, secretary- treasurer. The activities of this cluh are under the supervision of Mr. Nicksick, who is the varsity foothall coach. The Varsity U is the cluh for the athletes of the high school. lt is composed of the var- sity letter-men and those boys who have heen out for a sport for two years. Every year the cluh gives Varsity U jackets to the graduating senior memhers. The hoys pay half the price and the cluh pays the re- maining half. Money for the jackets is earned hy sponsoring activities or projects. At their first meeting. the hoys decided to start immediately on a money-raising project. Shortly after Mr. Meryosh and Mr. Nicksick completed the final arrangements with the Standard Pennant Company, the cluh sold gaucho sweatshirts with the words i'Union Hi Blue Devils and a Blue Devil insignia printed on them. The overwhelming numher of sales made this project a very hig success and en- larged the depleted treasury. This year, as in the preceding years, the Varsity U had the Pepsi-Cola machine in the auditorium. For the second year the cluh is indehted to Nlr. Hanna for keeping a watchful eye on the machine during the lunch period. Gold charms. which represent the various sports. are given to the varsity memhers who have maintained a CV average during their three years in senior high school. 'l'hc lli Y. whosc officcrs arc: C.

'gffphv The graduating class of 1958 entered the halls of Union in Septelnher, eagerly looking forward to the coming year. This dependable and co-operating group quickly became u vital part of Union High School. The first thing the sophomores did was to choose an able group of leaders. Those picked as the class officers for 1955-1956 Were: john Colpo us president, john R. Riddle us vice-president. and -lack Maroni as secretary-treasurer. Under the competent leadership of Mr. Yanni, the sophomore class advisor, they held 22 glam, a wonderful party. They worked long and hard on this class event. making it an enjoy- ahle affair. As the sports year progressed, those who had been the promising players of last year actually lu-came the foundation of the varsity teams of this year. Quite a few sophomore names appeared on the rosters of the various sports. Nlany of those tenth graders received their letters. Many sophomores showed their school spir- it hy being very active in the programs of the senior hand. Those sophomore majorettes who led the hand this year were Rose lion- giorni and Andrea Danek. Sophomores en- thusiastically leading the cheering at the freshmen football games were: lieheeca Chris- ty, Mary 'Io Figley. bloan Colmleck. Nlarie Tun- uo. janet Sanders, and Earlene Ayres. The chorus also was very proud of its sophomore memhers this year. XVe are looking forward to seeing these friendly and hard-working students coming hack next year as 1ipperclassmen. ff: w Boihnn Row. l. Ko r.: fl. Ilouk M.

Band The Band, a hard working group of fifty- five members, earned the distinction of being one of Unionis finest musical organizations. Under the direction of Mr. Snyder, who is teaching at Union for the first time, the band has been a welcome addition to pep meetings, assemblies, plays and football games. The band elected the following officers: president, Thurma Wharton, vice president, Arthur lionig secretary-treasurer, Kathryn Za- betakisg publicity chairman, Sandra Petrucci. After completing a course in the junior band students graduate to the senior band. The junior band performed well at the B- squad football games. The junior band mem- bers also serve as substitutes for the senior band when someone is absent. Members of the band have participated in state band, district band, and for the first time in a county band, which performed for teach- ers, institute. A program of Christmas music was broadcast by the band to the classrooms bv means of the public address system before Christmas vacation. The main event of the year was the Spring Concert for which the band worked very hard. A bake sale and a dance were sponsored by the band to raise money to buy band jackets for the seniors. Much credit is due the majorettes for their excellent work at football games and other activities with the band. Many thanks to Mr. Snyder for his original and entertaining ideas, which have made the band an outstanding organization at Union. ' ontball On August 18, Coach Bogdan Nicksick started on his fifth year as head coach at Union High with Pat McGraw assisting for his second year. Ten seniors turned out to form the nucleus of the 55', squad. These seniors were Coach Nicksick's hopes for a successful year, but he also relied on the sturdv juniors and steady sophomores. Practice was rough a11d rugged the first few days and saw many underclassmen unable to stand the strain, hut as the week passed a smooth-working team was molded into shape. Union had two pre-season scrimmages with Coraopolis and Freedom to give the boys some taste of action. In the opening game with Cecil Union had little trouble scoring a 22-6 victory. The next two games, Chester and Waynesburg, fell to Union with identical scores, 21-0. Union now had a record of 3-0, but visiting Bellmar changed that hy a 13-6 defeat. Union then traveled to California only to be beaten 13-12 hy an extra point. West Alleg showed little strength and Union subs played most of the game. The Blue Devils won by an easy 26-19 score. Union then lost a hard-fought game to Homestead in the last three minutes-25-12. The first-string Blue Devils scored five touch- downs in seven plays and then sent in the subs to win over Moon 39-14. In the annual classic with Canonsburg Union led 6-0 at the halftime, but Canonsburg surged ahead to win 28-13. Unionis final record was live wins and four losses for the 1955 season.

The boys were eager and willing but the breaks were against them, they finished their season with two ties and three losses. Lack of experience and size were two deciding factors in this year's record. The junior high boys. anxious at their first game, went to Bridgeville. The only touch- down of the game was scored in the first quarter on a reverse that went around right end. The final score was Bridgeville 7, Union 0. Hoping to do better in their second game, they played host to South Lafayette. The opposition scored the first touchdown but Burgettstown came right back with Fred Wright plunging straight ahead for the score. The game ended in a 6-6 tie. The junior var- sity next faced a powerful Washington team and lost by their worst score, 40-0. In this game Ben Diamond cracked a rib, but the injury was not serious. Another bad defeat was tallied when they traveled to West Al- legheny. jim Barkley scored the only touch- down for Union and the game ended with West Allegheny on top 31-6. Discouraged by previous games but eager to do better, the little Blue Devils played host to Trinity and got their second tie for the season when Ben Diamond scored the lone touchdown for Bur- gettstown to make the final score 6-6. This was perhaps the hardest fought game the junior team played. Ccfmten, Ldmwlmbnal is 'K F 'ffiv A 'WMF ..J1sf..,,, - Senior F.H.A. Bottom Row, l to r: M. Bokoski, R. Bertovich, A. Stanish, D.

The librarians charge out books for students. The club met to be formally organized during National Book Week, on Nov. 16. The following ofHcers were elected: presi- dent, Sally Loflert, vice president, Valerie Baneg secretary, Linda Homer, treasurer, janet Sugick. As a project, the club decided to decorate the bulletin board for the various holidays by using quotations and book covers. The annual tea for faculty members, office personnel, and club members was held in the library during December. The tea and cookies were prepared and served by the librarians. The librarians select and purchase new books with the money collected from fines on overdue books. The book is then inscribed with the names of the girls who chose the book. Added to the library this year were a set of Collier Encyclopedias and a set called March of Democracyf, The latter was ex- tremely helpful to senior history students. Many novels were purchased also. A survey of the library was made in March. Visitors observed the system of filing used, neatness of records, and efficiency of the librarians. During the Christmas season the librarians decorated a tree which was placed in the library. ln the past summer the library was re- decorated. The Walls are now gray, with red shelves and trimmings. The librarians learned much through their experiences in the library. Snmbfr, 1. JL. .

I lil Club de Espanol, or the Spanish Club, is the only foreign-speaking group at Union High School. The members of the club are all Spanish ll students who are interested in learning more of the language and customs of the Spanish-speaking peoples all over the world. The club met during the regular class period on the last Friday of the month. As there was only one Spanish ll class this year, there was only one club and one set of offi- cers. The following were elected to fill the positions of president, vice-president, and sec- retary-treasurer, respectively: Senor Charles Abate. Senor Andrew Kortyna, Senorita Irene Mancinelli. The club had a very active year under the direction of their able sponsor, Senora .lo- sephine Pusateri. After a yearls leave ot ab- sence, they heartily welcomed Senora Pusa- teri back for her eighth year as their sponsor. This year all members of the Spanish Club were also members of the International Stu- dent Society. This means that they correspond, in Spanish, with boys and girls in Spain and the Latin American countries. By doing this they had a chance to put to a practical appli- cation what they had learned in the classroom. Another of the projects of the group this year was the packing and distribution of bas- kets at Thanksgiving and Christmas to needy families. At their club meetings the members learned Spanish dances and Spanish songs. played records, and learned Spanish card games. Beta Tri Hi Y Bottom Row, l to r: P. Orenchuk, S. Latshaw, P. Labishak, P.

Mrs. Pusateri was the capa- hle advisor of the group of Latin students. The officers for the 1955-56 school year were: president, john NIcKeeg vice president. Nick lannettig SOCl'0tk1l'y-tl'62lSlIl'f.'l', Cerry Pirih. During the Thanksgiving season the Latin Cluh worked on a very worthy project. All the memhers donated food which was put in- to a large hasket and given to a needy family in the community. This project was so suc- cessful that the group planned to repeat it during the Christmas season. One very inspirational custom of the Christ- mas season at Union Iligh School is the Na- tivity scene in the front hall. The Latin Club originated this idea. The members planned this display and placed it in the main hall dis- play case. The Nativity scene makes us stop to think of the more serious side to this joyful time of year. An additional project of this group was the planning of a Christmas party for the children of the retarded school. The members of the cluh worked very hard to make this a mem- orahle occasion for these children. The Latin Cluh has adopted the children of the retarded school as a permanent project. Small treats and parties were provided for them during the year hy the students in the Latin Cluh. junior Play Bottom Row,ltor: M. Dalverny, L. Homer, A. Boui, L. Malone, A. Mungello, bl. Sugiek.

This group doesuit hold regular monthly meetings, however, Mr. Hanna, the faculty advisor, sees that they meet when a problem is to be discussed or when an officer calls to his attention the need for a meeting. The 11ew members were initiated at a special meeting held for that purpose. As active members, they are striving to make their school and community a better place to live in. They like to do and see new things, which explains in part why they have been looked on as so active a group. A dance was held to make money for carrying out some of their other activities. During March a bus was chartered and they went as a group to Pittsburgh, to see Cinerama. A social event is held once each year. This year the event was a party. Each member brought a friend who was not a member of the society. The group enjoyed dancing and playing games. The evening was made com- plete With light refreshments. Many times a Society member has been able to amend his wrong-doings by seeing a fellowmember set good examples, or by dis- cussing the problem with the advisor. junior Honor Society members are encour- aged to maintain their high scholastic rating and admirable character, so that at a later time, they may qualify for the Senior National Honor Society. ' Soricfq, The Senior National Honor Society is com- posed of junior and senior class members who have been recognized for having shown scholarship, leadership. character, and ser- vice. Members of the faculty submit to the facul- ty council recommendations for all students they believe worthy of membership. The fac- ulty council then decides upon the students' eligibility for membership, based on the four cardinal principles of scholarship. leadership, character. and service. An induction service is always held for the new members after the first semester, usually during the early part of February. The induc- tion service is conducted by the previous year's members. The Society bought and assembled plastic replicas of the United Nations buildings. These were placed on display in the library during the week preceding United Nations Dayw. At each meeting this year some members were in charge of a program which was both informative and entertaining. Games were played and refreshments were served during the December program. A donation of 3510.00 was given to the Cood Fellows at the holiday season. During the holidays each member inter- viewed a college friend. and written reports were submitted to Miss Filippoui. the advisor. These were discussed at the meeting. As a special project for the year. a Guid- ance Weeki' was held. Both old and new members participated in the planning and conducting of the event. This year. the an- nual student-teacher day was made a part of the Guidance Weekf' Having membership in the Society is a dis- tinction held in high esteem by the high school students. jr.

They prepared spe- cial programs for Thanksgiving, Christmas, liaster, and Baccalaureate as well as a Spring Concert. A smaller chorus of nearly forty members 51 I-'gc-r, . --, ,. T: , . . Wilson, ll. Hull, K. Welsh. was chosen for the music contests in the spring. ln making up this special group. last vear's choristers were first chosen, then out- standing voices from the new members were addecl. Two mezzo-sopranos, Loffert and K. Culley entered the closely-competitive contests as soloists from Union. C. Heunnert was solo pianist and accompanist. Six persons were chosen from the chorus to represent Union in the county chorus, which was a group of 200 voices from high schools in Washington County. R. Nice, K. Culley, L. Reed, B. Robert, B. Christy and B. A. Hucilc participated in this clioiris per- formance at the Teachers' Annual lnstitute and in its tour of tour county schools. One of the memorable numbers sung by the county chorus was Thumbelina.'i directed by Mrs. Lowry. Another specialized group chosen from the chorus was the busy ensemble Whose mem- bers are: Sopranos R. Nice, S. Loffertg Sec- onds Pm. Lander, C. Maroni, li. Hucikg Altos A. Miller, C. Remmert, B. Christy. The smallest group chosen from the chor- us was the trio-S. Lotfert, C. Maroni and A. Miller. The extensive repertoire prepared by these three was used many times at a mo- mentls notice for entertaining various organi- zations. They also sang in the district chorus at Shaler in April.

On September 7, 1955, il new class of stu- dents entered the halls of Union High School. Although shy and nervous at first, this class of 1960 was soon feeling more confident. As these people began to accustoin themselves to the routine of 21 new school, they chose their class officers. The ofHcers who were elected were Virginia Buble as president, Carol Yukevich as vice president, and Oswald Gavuzzi as secretary-treasurer. Mr. Hanna served as class advisor. 5 2 ight The first project which these new stuclents took upon themselves as a class was a Hallow- e'eu party helcl on Thursclay, Uctoher 27 in the high school. There were niany prizes given for the different costunies. Dressed as the prettiest girl in a hig honnet ancl oltl-i'ash- ionecl clress was qlulianne Calan, while the prettiest hoy was Patty Muniz as a toreaclor hoy in an elaliorately-lieaclecl costume with a reml cape to tease 'itil Torof' The prize for the inost original went to Connie Miller, a tlczuhle-legged creature with a n1op'i of hair. The ugliest hoy was Susan Phillis who was clressecl as a railroatler, ancl the prize for the ugliest girl Went to Dayicl Dunay, who neecl- ecl only to Hy in on a hrooni to he a perfect witch. As the year progressecl, several of these eighth graders showed ability in foothall. haskethall, wrestling, and hasehall. This group was also very ahly representecl in hantl antl chorus programs.

The following officers were electecl for tht year: Stella Blatijevich, presiclentg llernaclette McKee, vice-presiclentg Patty Link. secretary- treasurerg Sue Krzeczowski and Virginia liar- toletti, program chairmen. 54 The Lyre Club, although small, had an in- terested group whose common interest was an appreciation for good music. A unique dance was sponsored by the club in November, namely the Pound Dance. Prizes were given to the persons weighing the most and the least. A highlight of the evening was the cake-walk. Refreshments were also served. Program projects of the club included lis- tening to such complete works as Billy the Kid by Copeland, Cinderella,' by Coates, Grand Canyon Suitev by Grofi. After much intense listening, a unit of art work expressing characters in the music and in the theme or motif belonging to that character or scene was put together. Thus these great works were followed easily by those members not familiar with the classics. These units were filed in the library where anyone can take them out to study. A great deal of fun was shared by the mem- bers on their animal picnic at Raccoon Creek State Park. Mrs. Lowry, the club's sponsor, and the fol- lowing officers can be proud of their accomp- lishments this year: president, Ronald Mercer, vice-president, Robert Tucci, secretary-treas- nrer, Naomi Day, publicity chairman, Thorn- as Riffle.

The students who made the refreshment stand such a success this year were: ,lean Bender, Darla Cunningham, Elizabeth Karas, Martha Karas, Shirley Griffith, Rose Gallo, Lorraine Vlackson, Laurel Malone, Dolores Vega, Flora Neil, Ronald Rudy, Stanley Esno, and Larry Griffith. The refreshment stand is under the super- vision of Mr. Kimberland who had a difficult 55 Commercial. Bottom Row, l. to r.: C. Bur- tolelfl. S. Krzeczowsk i, V. Rurtolelti. 2nd Row: S. Matijevich. B.

Mrs. Kimber-land helped make things run smoothly at the refreshment stand, and Miss Filipponi assisted as cashier. All these efforts were very much appreciated. Each member rendered his own time and service. The only reward was free admission to the games. Through the help of the Kimberlands, Miss Filipponi, and their aides the refreshment stand has had a very successful season with hopes of many more. College Bottom Row, l. to r.: P. Viakley, S.

They are always eager and willing to do necessary repair jobs about the school. Their meetings are held once a month dur- ing club period in the shop where they have access to the necessary equipment. The mem- bers learn to use these tools in a way that bnefits the whole school, and the knowledge acquired will always be of use to the boys in enabling them to do their own repair jobs in later life. The clubis biggest project of the year is building the sets for the senior and junior junior plays. The clubis advisor, Mr. Sauter, emphasizes the importance of the correct care and use of the machines. Every boy is conscious of the fact that machinery must be kept clean and feels it his personal responsibility to give the best possible care to the machinery that he operates. Before the boys are permitted to use any machinery, they are taught how it functions and are given a complete explana- tion of all its parts. As equipment in the shop is in constant use, parts of the machinery are continually breaking or wearing out. The boys are not handicapped by this because they are taught to recognize the trouble in the machine and to repair it skillfully. At their meeting in September they chose as their officers: Jim Murin, presidentg Ioe Dominski, vice presidentg jim Walters, secre- tary-treasurer. ll L 6 ties cluring the Christmas -season anal clonatul D 24.0, the profits to the funcl for the new l'ubhL The college elub is something new in the way of elnbs at Union High Sehool.

Along with the first league game came a tremendous blow to the team. joe Kortyna, a senior and a good clutch,' player, was in- jured and remained inactive the remainder of the season. Union could have remained undefeated in sectional play had it not been for the third and fourth clashes. Both games were lost by one run. Each of the runs was unearned and was scored in the last inning of play. After the two setbacks the Blue Devils sparked to life, went on to win the next five games in a row, and tied with West Allegheny for the W.P.I.A.L. Section IV title. On May 16 Union trekked to Washington to play West Allegheny for the section champ- ionship. john Dunn pitched a terrific game, but three costly Union errors allowed two runs to SCO1'C. Home runs by Mihaliclm and Resnik were the only other Union high points as Mihaliclfs run went on record as being the longest ball ever hit in Washington Park- 450 feet! The final score was Union 5-West Allegheny 6. The following senior boys completed their high school career with the ending of this game: Don Resnik, George liollage, Bob Mat- alik, and joe Kortyna. 59 'LL Editorial U.

I was brought up in the same town with Chuckie, and I often remember the games of army we used to play together, and some of the trouble we got into by doing so. During the summers when I announced the Little League games, Chuckie became one of the highlights of the Pirate team. He was well liked and respected by all his teammates. He could always be depended upon in the clutch. He held a record for strike-outs and swung a powerful bat. His Pony League antics were also famous. Now that he's passed on, things wonlt seem the same. But I'll always remember him as a close friend.
