Through the use of drawings and pictures, we have tried to depict the many phases of science offered at Union High School to students who are preparing for a career in the scientific field. Each of the five divisions of our 1958 U is introduced by a drawing, quota- tion, and picture portraying some part of the student’s life that is related to science.

In appreciation for your guidance, friendship, and understanding, we the senior class of 1958, dedicate our annual to you, Mr. Mervosh. After graduating from Duquesne University, you came to Union as a civics, health, and physical education teacher. You served as assistant football coach for seven years. In 1948, recognizing the increasing popularity of wrestling, you established this sport at Union. In later years you were gratified to see our school produce several state champions. In 1949 you became head football coach. While earning your Master’s Degree at the University of Pittsburgh, you also assumed new duties as assistant principal at Union. You still maintained your interest in sports as head of the Athletic and Activities Council. As eighth-graders and freshmen, we were somewhat apprehensive of your stern appearance. As sophcmores we began to admire your determination, steady- purpose, and self-discipline. As juniors we could interpret that twinkle in %'our eye as friendly understanding. As seniors, we sincerely tell you by this dedication that regardless of where our paths may lead, you will never be forgotten as we review our years at Union High School. 5 7 School Board Bottom Row, 1 to r: C.

Sc wjoL CiihhiuL andI (Bcahd, ticiwiiisLdu founciL The School Board is the mysterious force which keeps our educational system running smoothly. The main purpose of the School Board is to regulate the operation of the schools in the newly formed Burgettstown Area. The Board holds regular monthly meetings at Union High School. Each member is elected for a term of six years. Two of the many duties of the board are approving all financial ventures and passing legislation concerning the students attending Burgettstown Area schools. The officers, elected for one year, are authorized to sign all checks. The Athletic and Activities Council is an important part of our administrative school sys- tem. It consists of four members of the School Board, the supervising principal, the high school principal, the faculty athletic manager, a faculty representative, the head coaches of each sport, one representative from the senior class and one representative from the junior class. Making plans for the various sports seasons is the main job of the Council. In doing this, they determine the policies of our school and preserve the good name that our school has made for itself in district sports. Activities and Athlet- ic Council Bottom Row, 1 to r: E.

In spite of being the smallest class in school, they were topped by none in partici- pating in activities. They, together with Mrs. Pusateri and Mr. Brozier, worked so hard on their magazine sales that they fell onlv a few dollars short of topping last year’s record- J. Muscaro, M. Blaine, Mr. Brozier, F.

No one was more excited on December 5 that the juniors, for this was the day they ordered their rings. It was a long wait, but the rings finally arrived in March, much to the juniors delight. The junior party was a very special time for many of the junior girls because on this occasion a number of the boys finallv mus- tered up enough courage to ask a girl to go to the prom. Following tradition, the juniors had the prom for the seniors. The efforts of the juniors to make this affair successful were well-re- warded. The same hard work they had done in projects all year was shown again in the way the juniors decorated the gym. Following the prom, the mothers of the juniors held a post-prom. The delicious food and entertain- ing acts will be remembered by all who at- tended. Surely their experiences have helped the juniors to mature into capable candidates for next year’s senior class.

SopJwmoAiL The sophomores decided upon the follow- ing to represent them this year: Oswald Ga- vazzi. president; Floyd Marshall, vice-presi- dent; and John Maspel, secretary-treasurer. Although they were sometimes called the noisiest class in school, no one will dis- pute the fact that they had the most fun. They participated in numerous activities and were successful at them. Their boys who played on the varsity football squad worked very hard with the upperclassmen to produce an impressive record. The sophomores were not outdone in wrestling, basketball, or base- ball either, although there were good players from other classes. Felicia Homitz was the only sophomore girl who was chosen as cheerleader last year. Joining her this year were five more peppy girls: Antoinette Kucic, Patty Muniz, Patty Sciamanna, Lynn Scopel, and Janet Scott. They show promise of being fine leaders at future sports events. One of the highlights of the year for the sophomores was the class party in April where Miss Scott and Miss Tiano the sophomore class advisors, made certain that everyone had Bottom Row, I to r: E.

The fine school spirit of this class was displayed many times during the year when they participated in school functions. One of the ways in which they hoped to promote this school spirit was through selling hats with the school colors; this was done by the Beta Tri-Hi-Y, whose officers are all sophomore girls. Much of this spirit rubbed off on their fellow students. This excellent trait will help them to carry out their duties as upperclass- men next year. Miss Scott, Miss Tiano, F. Marshall, J. Haspel, O.

JhQAhmCLVL This active freshmen class quickly inter- mingled, due in part to Mr. Welch, whose as vice-president, and Pete Blue as secretary- friendliness made them all feel welcome. They chose Lynn Hill as president, John Tasz treasurer for the year. The freshmen decided that they would like to have a hayride. On Halloween evening the class members, unafraid of the spooks, boarded George Harris' hay wagon and rode to his farm. They let neither the cold night air nor the felled trees hinder them. After arriving at the farm, they had a weiner roast Bottom Row, 1 to r: C. Jen- kins, C. Maltony, S. Ilolla- way, G. Lander. S. King. M. Lombardi, K. Kucic, S. Har- ris, M.

QIOAA, and consumed many pounds of hot dogs and many Pepsis. After the feasting, they headed back to the school for dancing in the gym. The dancing proved to be an appropriate wind-up to a fun-filled evening. These newcomers displayed their talents in many activities, and their names were heard often. The freshmen members of the dance ensemble helped to provide entertain- ment at many chorus programs. Representa- tives from the freshman class were sent to District and County Band. Freshman boys were the backbone of the junior high football team, and many other freshmen made the wrestling squad or basketball team. A rule was made this year that future majorettes would be chosen from band mem- bers. Since there was only one freshman majorette, several new ones were chosen. The industrious nature of this class has made them liked by everyone. If the freshman class of 1957-58 is an ex- ample of future Union High students, the outlook of the school in scholarship, sports- manship, and leadership is promising. Bottom Row, 1 to r: E.

In this same manner, they chose Albert Sella as president, Robert Delamontagne as vice-president, and Dolores Harshey as secretary-treasurer. They had decided to have the traditional Halloween party, but it was cancelled be- cause of the influenza outbreak. Therefore they had a party in the spring, which, through the advice of Mr. Hanna and his associates, was very successful. The partv started around 4:30 P.M., following eighth period. Games were played and various prizes were awarded to the winners. Delicious refreshments, pre- pared by Mrs. Lunger and her home eco- nomics class, were served. The eighth graders became acquainted with their fellow students by engaging in many activities. The boys went out for foot- ball as well as other sports. The girls found it almost a necessity to join either the Gamma Tri-Hi-Y or the Junior F. H. A. All of the ac- tivities in which they have participated have Bottom Row, I to r: S. Har- ris, M.

This information will prove very helpful to them next fall when, as fresh- men, they meet the rest of their classmates from the parochial school. Their capabilities did not end with ac- tivities; they were attentive pupils and studied hard. Many students were on the honor roll. The highest awards offered to the eighth graders were the American Legion Awards, which were presented to a worthy hoy and girl who were chosen by their classmates.

SsmjufL TlcdwnaL JtontfL Socisdi The Senior National Honor Society has just completed its seventh successful year under the efficient leadership of Miss Filip- poni. Tlte senior chapter of the society was organized on April 18, 1951. To gain membership in the society a student must be recommended by mem- bers of tlie faculty. Recognition for mem- bership is based on the four principles of character, scholarship, leadership, and service. Once a member, the student must maintain these four standards. At the first meeting in September the following were chosen as officers: Sharon Lukehart, president; Gary Fowler, vice presi- dent; Mary Jane Wilson, secretary; and John Colpo, treasurer. Each month members al- ternated in presenting programs that were both informative and entertaining. Induction services for the 1957-58 school year were held on Februarv 10 in the school auditorium. This was a joint service of both Honor Societies. Reverend Larson of Mc- Donald was guest speaker. On United Nations Dav the society pre- sented a program for the puroose of giving the student body more information about this important day. The society also purchased a set of books dealing with the United Nations. Another affair that is held annually bv the society is “Student Teachers’ Dav.” This is a day when students take the full respon- sibility of teachers. To gain membership in the society is a great privilege and is considered one of the highest honors a student can receive. 54 On November 20,1952, the junior chapter of the National Honor Society was added to Union’s many organizations. This organization is composed of eighth, ninth, and tenth graders who have proved themselves capable of this high honor. The junior chapter has five cardinal prin- ciples—character, scholarship, leadership, ser- vice, and citizenship. Once a member is elec- ted to the society, he must strive to do all that he can to maintain these high standards. The junior society' is a stepping stone to the Senior Honor Society There was no set time for meetings but one was called when necessary by Mr. Hanna, faculty advisor. At one of their meetings the following were chosen as officers by mem- bers: Lynn Scoped, president; Patty Muniz, vice president; Cynthia Gilson, secretary and David Warchol, treasurer. During April a bus was chartered and both the Junior and the Senior Honor Socie- ties went to Pittsburgh on a pleasure trip. Each year the society has a social event. The event this year was a party held in the school gymnasium. Each member invited a friend. The group enjoyed dancing, games. and light refreshments which made the even- ing complete. The pin worn by the proud members of the Junior Honor Society is in the shape of a blazing torch. This torch is a symbol of the high standards which they are to live up to as members of the junior society. Quni t Wjaihmal. cHwufi, Bottom How, 1 to r: P. Scott, A. Nencioni, S. Welsh, P.

It maintains high standards of Christian charac- ter and lives up to its name as a service club. Alpha Tri-IIi-Y is a member of the South- west District. Induction services were held for new members in September. Mr. Harry Wardell, secretary of the Southwest District, was a guest speaker. Many parents attended. The week of October 21-25 was celebrated as Pennsylvania Hi-Y. Tri-Hi-Y Week bv the Union chapter. The Alpha sponsored its an- nual mum dance after the Canonsburg Game. A king and queen were chosen. Mrs. Ralston showed beautiful color slides of Switzerland at the October meeting. Miss George and Mrs. Harris were invited to a meeting to give their views on the behavior of teenage girls. Mary Ellen Blaine, Carmel Yaco, Peggy Williams, and Kathy Colpo, who attend the Earl Wheeler Charm School, gave a demonstration at the December meeting. On December 16. the Alpha made a trip to the D. T. Watson Home. Gayle Remmert. the capable president, attended the eighth National Congress at Oxford, Ohio. The Alpha sent a representative to the Older Girls Conference in April. Gayle Remmert and Joan Frantini represented Union at the Southwest District Y. M. C. A. convention held at Uniontown. Under the capable leadership of Gayle and guidance of Miss Scott, the Alpha has set an example of high standards for students. aipkcL jAL-HL-y. Bottom Row. 1 to r: I). Filipponi, S. Mikns, M.

They were members of the House of Repre- sentatives and presented a bill in behalf of the club. The bill had as its purpose the removal from our highways of the habitually negligent driver. Some members volunteered to go to the Leet dale D. T. Watson Home. Thev together with members of the Tri-Hi-Y, entertained the children and toured the home. The olid) members sponsored a pep rally prior to the playing of the Canonsburg game, made a generous contribution to the National Foundation for the Blind, held induction ceremonies for the new members, held the annual Hi-Y dance, and subscribed for a full page ad in the yearbook. It was the excellent work and interest in club functions displayed bv the advisor and club officers that made membership in the club sought by many students. They who were fortunate enough to obtain membership had a great sense of pride in the club. 57 Bottom Row, 1 to r: S King, J. Smith, M. MvClain, B. Napolitano, P. Plate, M. Malone, C. Ross, Vlrs.

The Beta Tri-IIi-Y, under the leadership of Lynn Scopel, accomplished much this year. The Beta was again capably supervised by Mrs. Dorothy Vukotich. By their willingness to participate, the girls made their programs a success and cheerfully undertook service projects. The Beta made its annual trip to the County Home for the Aged on Wednesday, December IS. Gifts of cookies and candy were made by the Tri-IIi-Y girls. The girls plan- ned a very entertaining and charming pro- gram for the aged. The Beta held a gift dance on Friday, December 13, to collect gifts for them. Many persons in the commu- nity also donated gifts. To raise money the club sold blue and white hats featuring the students name, the letters UHS and the year of graduation. The Beta girls have done their utmost “to create, maintain, and extend throughout the home, school and community high stan- dards of Christian character. 58 Our new addition to the Tri-Hi-Y, the Gamma, is now in its second successful year. The Gamma, like her older sisters, is also a service club. Under the leadership of Presi- dent Betty Schulte and the Gamma sponsor, Mrs. Edwards, the Gamma has taken its place beside her sister clubs, the Alpha and Beta, and her brother club, the Hi-Y. The Gamma girls donated home-made candy and cookies to the Beta for their trip to the County Home for the Aged. The Alpha and Beta Tri-Hi-Y have aided their newest member organize and, in turn, the Gamma members have helped make Alpha and Beta projects successful. The Gamma members are working to help make the world a better place in which to live. They are guided by the Tri-Hi-Y motto: “To create, maintain, and extend throughout the home, school, and community high standards of Christian char- acter.” The Gamma had a successful swimming party for its members at the Community Cen- ter in Weirton, West Virginia. The members also held a skating partv. The December Club meeting, at which the G. A. A. was present, was an entertaining one. An amateur hour was presented. The narticioants displayed a variety of talent. Jo- Ann Zabetakis proved to be ad nt at tap dancing. Lisa Stewart was a graceful ballet dancer. The members reallv tapned their feet to the rhvthmic accordion plaving of Candy Celli. Marilvn Shaffer and Gloria Kemp displayed their musical talent by play- ing an instrumental duet on the saxophone and clarinet. An amusing pantomime was performed by Donna Allison. Carol Ann Black, Marlene Fowler, and Nancy Sue Blaine surprised the audience by appearing in the fashions popular in the Twenties. In true flapper tradition they performed a lively Charleston. Very rarely has so much genuine talent been present in an eighth grade group. Good luck, Gamma, in all of vour future endeavors! 2 ammai Jhi-HL-7 Bottom Row, 1 to r: M. Shaffer, B. Schulte, J.

This year the club elected as its presi- dent, Rose Bongiorni; vice president, Rita Bertovich; secretary, Mildred Kampian; treas- urer, JoAnn Cobleck; historian, Marcia Kun- kle; parliamentarian, Andrea Danek; song leader, Kathy Cullev; and chaplain, Virginia Tony. These girls were installed in office at an induction service held in September. New members were also received at that time. The induction service was followed by a reception in the gymnasium. A group of girls attended the state con- vention held at Pennsylvania State University last summer. This fall the girls participated in a skit at the regional meeting at Peters Township. The biggest social event of the club is the annual Sno-Ball at which Jack Frost, the Sno-Queen, and their attendants are chosen. This year the reigning couple was Bose Bon- giorni and Andrew Samloff. The attendants were as follows: first; James Durko and Linda Strope; second, John Golpo and JoAnn Gobleck; third, Robert Pompe and Carole Gonzalez; fourth, John W. Riddile and Jean Swartz. In January Rose Bongiorni, Carole Gon- zalez, Nancy Cree, Kathy Cullev, and Nila Columbia, accompanied by Miss Jackson, participated in the state farm show in Harris- burg. The girls presented a demonstration entitled “Lamps and You.” The girls of the F. H. A. feel that they are gaining invaluable experience through working in home economics toward their goal, “Better Living Today for Better Homes Tomorrow.” J . dt. CZ. Bottom Row, I to r: M. Tunno, R.

This year our junior chapter of the Fu- ture Homemakers of America was full of enthusiastic girls who were always ready to work for the benefit of the club. It is open to eighth grade girls only and is advised by Mrs. Lunger. This year’s election found Bonita Allison president; Charlotte Boiler, vice president; Helen Hennequant, treasurer; Sally Harris, secretary; Carol Gould, song leader; Judy Kraeer, historian; and Darlene Kinkela, par- liamentarian. As their fund-raising projects, the girls sold Christmas cards and rainbow candles. They also sold “sloppy joes” in the auditorium at lunch time. With the funds remaining from last year’s Junior F. H. A. and the money they received from their fund-raising projects, they paid one-half the price of an R. C. A. senior model movie sound projector that was pur- chased jointly with the Senior F. H. A. They also bought nine dozen glass punch cups for the home economics department. This fall the)- attended the regional meeting at Peters Township, and some of the girls served refreshments at the Sno-Ball. At Christmas time they packed a box of used clothing for Crossmor Schools, Inc. in North Carolina. Their future plans are to purchase a mirror for the living room of the Home Economics House and to send delegates to the state convention at Pennsylvania State University. The club’s aim is “Toward New Hori- zons” and they certainly did put their best foot forward toward this goal. 61 Bottom Row, 1 to r: C. Gonzalez, A. Rometti, R. Christy, M. Titnno, J. Sanders, J.

The members started the club pro- ceedings in excellent style bv electing Janet Sanders as their president. Frank Mika as vice president, Mary Jo Figley as secretary, and Joe Muscaro as treasurer. The first calendar date on the club agenda was November 25. This was the club’s first dance of the season. Next, in conjunc- tion with the Latin Club, all members came through in the true spirit by donating baskets of food to the needy families of the Burgetts- town Area for both the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. About this time Mr. Campos decided his proteges had developed their command of the Spanish language to a point where it was safe to allow them to correspond with English students in Spanish- speaking countries. Then spring came and it was Fiesta Time at Union High School. All the hidden talents of the club’s members were revealed in a gay assembly program that gave the viewers an inside look at the customs of other countries. Finally as the school year came to a close, the Spanish and Latin Clubs once more united, this time for a little self-indulgence. Their final fling manifested itself in a happy “Let’s get to- gether” party. The setting was romantic; the food was delicious; and the company was ex- cellent. What a way to end an active year! 62 At the first Latin Club meeting last Sep- tember the following officers were elected: president, Frances Swartz; vice president, Emile Robert; secretary-treasurer, Larry Rem- mert. The club members planned a very ac- tive year for themselves. During the Thanks- giving holiday season, the Latin Club joined forces with the Spanish Club to deliver bas- kets of food to the needy families of the Burgettstown area. During the Christmas holiday season the two clubs again united. This time they collected old, broken toys; members repaired and painted them like new and delivered them to a number of this area’s children whose Christmas was made a lot happier and brighter by receiving them. For the retarded children at the Burgettstown Day Care Training School, the Latin Club planned a party at which the children re- ceived Christmas stockings and presents from the club members. As a final fling before mid-term exams, the Latin Club held its first dance on January 10. Tlie members agreed to submit a project to the Buhl Planetarium Latin Festival. A lot of hard work, cooperation, and talent manifested into a very fine display that proudly represented our Alma Mater in a highly competitive exhibition. Finally, to round out an active year filled with service to others, the Latin and Spanish clubs once more combined for a happy festive party. XaiuL Bottom Row, 1 to r: M. Wilson, G. Remmert, L.

Their main duty is to charge books to students and check books off when they are returned. The Library Club does not hold regular meetings or collect dues. When necessary either Miss Scott, the advisor, or the presi- dent may call a meeting. The organization of this club took place at a meeting held in November. At this time the following girls were elected as officers: president, Shirley Mikus; vice-president, Helene Horovitz; secretary. Donna Schiavo; treasurer, Rita Lounder. In December the annual Christmas tea, which was attended by the facultv and the Library Club members, was held in the lib- rary. The library had been specially decor- ated in the Christmas theme, including a tree. A beautiful centerpiece graced the table. The tree was later planted beside the com- munity library in an effort to beautify the grounds. The fines from the overdue books are usually used to purchase new books for the library, thus helping to keep our library' up to date. However, this year the fines were used to purchase a listening table. This table was placed in the library to be used by students during their library periods. Symphonic music and classic books were the subject matter made available to the student by this purchase. ctib ia uf Bottom Row, 1 to r: E. Ayres, R. Lounder, D. Schiavo, Miss Scott, S. Mikus. H.

The induction services were held in the library. Several interested teachers were present at the services and the tea which followed. The purpose of this club is to instruct any junior or senior who is enrolled in the commercial course as to the duties of an effi- cient office worker. The instruction this year included good grooming, and personal con- duct; it also introduced the machines used in an office. Each year the club presents an award to the outstanding student in the commercial course and pays half the cost of Today’s Sec- retary, which was subscribed to by the secretarial office practice and shorthand II students. As a main project, a vertical file was purchased for room 200. In addition, all the club members showed their artistic abili- ties by having a different bulletin board for each month of the year. In order to finance their many projects, the girls sold candy and chewing gum at all the home wrestling matches and basketball games. Under the guidance of Miss Tiano, the girls had a better understanding of the com- mercial field and were made fully aware of the many requirements necessary to equip a secretary for a responsible place in a business office. 65 Bottom Row, 1 to r: H.

(fJwAJUA A major change was made this year in the scheduling of students for the vocal depart- ment. Fifty-three girls worked daily as a unit trying to produce a better tone quality, bring about better note reading, and generally to put a more professional sound into their music. As a result of this schedule the chorus mem- bers received full credit for their work. Trio: L. Malone, K. Gulley, B. Iiucik. The chorus established its own grading system. They also worked to rid themselves of poor posture habits, gum chewing, and talking too much. Their first performance was for United Nations Day. The chorus was crippled that week by the flu epidemic, but those that were left performed well. Thanksgiving found them in full force and improving in tone quality. The Christmas program brought the group to a high point in its ability to entertain. During this season the ensemble and trio were very busy with several programs. At this same time applications for district chorus were answered. Kathy Cully, Betty Ann Hucik, and Ben Mader were chosen to attend district chorus which was held in February at Trinity High School, Washington, Pennsylvania. Immediately following Christ- mas came the music for county music con- tests. Kathy Culley, the Girls’ Ensemble, and the Girls' Chorus were entered. Spring weather found the chorus working hard on devotional music for the Easter as- sembly. The annual concert in May was the best performance of the year. It was appar- ent that the chorus, as one personality, sang music with intelligence and true feeling. 67 QolhiqsL — Under the leadership of Miss George our guidance counselor, the College Club has completed its third year. The club is a non-profit organization. Since the group doesn’t hold regular monthly meetings, there is no need for officers. The faculty advisor, however, sees that they meet when a problem is to be discussed. Any mem- ber of the senior class who plans to further his education may become a member. The primary purpose of the club is to answer any questions the members may have about college requirements or college life and to aid each in the selection of college. Many times during the course of the year the members of the club could be found in Miss Georges room seeking help in filling out applications or applying for scholarships. Bottom Row. I to r: K.

TIuaasa The main objective of the Nurses Club is to introduce the girls to nurse’s training. It prepares them for what they must do in order to become nurses. The club this year was composed of thirty junior and senior girls interested in nursing. Miss George is the club’s advisor. She meets with the girls, and at these meet- ings they discuss such topics as which hos- pital they will train in, the duties of a nurse, and how to go about becoming a nurse. On March 11, Miss Mable Tustin. a reg- istered nurse, gave an interesting talk on nursing. Our new elementary school nurse, Miss Stroud, showed picture slides and discussed with club members the life of a nurse. The senior girls also took tours of hos- pitals to help them choose the one in which they would like to train. Bottom Row, 1 to r: V. Tony, J. Sanders, S. Mc- Coy, M. J. Figley, Miss George, R.

The following members were chosen to offices of the club: Jean Swartz, president; Helene Horovitz, vice president; Donna Schiavo, secretary; Jo Ann Fratini, treasurer. The meetings were held during the lunch- hour on one Wednesday of each month at which time refreshments were sened. The main project of the club this year was to raise money so that a scholarship might be presented to one of the senior mem- bers. The recipient of the scholarship last year was Mary Ann Spartage who is attending Austin College in Texas. The club earned money to further this project by selling sta- tionery and magna pads. The purpose of the club is to acquaint its members with the teaching profession and also to answer any questions they may have about teaching. Many times during the year the senior members had interesting and informative ex- periences when they were given the oppor- tunity to do substitute teaching in the elemen- tary schools. All the members of the club had fun dur- ing the course of the year while at the same time learning about their chosen field. Holtoni Row, 1 to r: J. Kcrtesz, D. Scott( P. Engel, Miss George. E.

QnduAihiaL CbiJtA, The Industrial Arts Club, under the supervision of Mr. Philip J. Sauter, began the year's activities by electing the following members as officers; president, Ronald Rudy, vice president, Donald Peck; secretary-trea- surer, William Martin. The club’s aim is to provide the boys with an opportunity to discover their hidden mechanical talents. This year the members were technical assistants to such projects as the class plays, assemblies, chorus programs, and the erecting of auxiliary basketball nets. The zealous effi- cient manner with which the members com- pleted their tasks deserves much praise. Seated, I to r: P. Stricko, L. Malone. Standing: Mrs. Lowry, W. Roach, M. Roberts, B. Mader. Since the club has a limited membership, the members are able to receive more indi- vidual attention, which is an advantage over the larger type club. The new members, the majority of whom are industrial arts students, learn that neat- ness and orderly procedure help to simplify a hard task. They are taught the proper use of equipment and must have a basic understand- ing of a machine’s construction and function- ing parts before attempting projects. The knowledge acquired by the boys through the club will be of value to them after their graduation. JjjASL After a year’s absence the I.yre Club returned to the school’s did) roster with a small but interested group of students. The meetings gave members varied musical op- portunities. They worked with the tape re- corder, searched for an appropriate yearbook quotation, became familiar with music sym- bols, and were entertained by guest artists— Rebecca Holt, pianist, and Mr. Regis Brozier, baritone. They had panel discussions on music, and club members themselves performed. The club checked the music files to see that all music was filed correctly and could be easily secured. This club has purchased risers, a piano cover, and records for the library. The annual Arion Award is given to a senior out- standing in music. 70 The Models Club, under the sponsor- ship of Mr. Bohn, began this year’s activi- ties by electing the following members as of- ficers: president, John Tasz; vice president, Joseph Massengill; secretary treasurer, Steven Roman. The objective of the club is to acquaint the boys with the many aspects involved with the making of model automobiles, ships, and airplanes. The simple materials such as glue and straight pins are supplied by the club. Such skills as learning to read and in- terpret blue prints and understanding the use of intricate instruments and oarts will help members in anv career which mav re- quire a knowledge of such technical skills. The club membership is limited to boys '«'ho are in the ninth grade. This club provides the ninth grade bovs with the opportunity to learn together in the friendly asmosphere of a social club. The members held two parties this past year. One was held at the club meeting place near the end of the school term and the other was held just before the Christmas vacation. The funds for the party are deducted from the dues. Although this was the club’s first year in existence, it has been highly successful and will continue to be so under the watch- ful eye of Mr. Bohn. As the years progress, the members will be able to look back upon this year with a sense of pride and with fond memories of the club’s numerous projects and activities. modsk. Bottom Row, 1 to r: P.

The aims of the club are simple and practical. The main purpose is to teach the boys how to become good sports- men. It also teaches them ways of conserving wildlife in the forests and our natural re- sources. Under the supervision of Mr. Kimberland, the sponsor of the club, the boys are taught many things about guns, rifles, hunting, fishing and wildlife. The club has its regular meeting once a month. At these meetings the boys hear talks, and see movies which interest them and en- courage them to become better sportsmen. The club is not primarily a money-raising or- ganization so they did not conduct any fund raising projects. In November and in connection with the opening of hunting season, the club invited a speaker to discuss with them the care that should be taken by hunters in handling guns; a demonstration of this was given. The club helped the safe hunting campaign by making posters illustrating safe hunting rules. These were displayed in various parts of the building. The officers chosen at the first meeting were: president. Robert Tucci; vice president, Wilbert Kemp; secretary, John Gobleck; trea- surer, Thomas Vajentic. In the future the Sportsmen Club plan to organize a rifle team. Bottom Row, I to r: R. Blakley, it. LaPosta, P. Blue, J. Radacoy, J. Gobleck, Mr. Kimberland, R. Tucci, R. Ma- lone, J. McNair, D.

The Girls Athletic Association is a club consisting of girls from the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grades who are interested in sports, especially basketball. The girls spend most of their time in club periods each month playing basketball and volleyball. The pur- pose of the club is to teach the girls good sportsmanship and leadership. The officers of the club for this year were: president. Flora Neil; vice president, Frances Saxton; and secretary-treasurer, Dorothy Daske. The sponsor of the club was Mrs. Zollars. She substituted for the regular sponsor, Mrs. Beyer, who took a year’s leave of absence. This year, as in previous years, the club paid for part of the cost of each sweater issued to the senior girls. Mrs. Edwards, sponsor of the Gamma Tri-Hi-Y, asked earlier this year if the mem- bers of her club could share the gvm with the GAA during the December club meeting. The Gamma Tri-Hi-Y joined the members of the GAA for a Christmas party. Some of the Gamma members performed for the group. The girls enjoyed light refreshments and dancing afterwards. The members had a picnic at Raccoon State Park on the last day of school. Each girl brought delicious homemade food to the picnic and took active part in the games. This picnic was the perfect end for a good club year. 73 Bottom Row, 1 to r: N. Cree, Mrs. Harris, N. Zabetakis. 2nd Row: S. Lukehart, P. Stevens. D. Filipponi, S. McCoy, S. Dnnay, V. Tony, C.

The Hi-Lite is published every month by the journalism class, which is composed of seniors who want to improve their style of writing. All news and special articles are written by the members of the class, and the paper is printed outside the school. The Hi-Lite contains many and varied articles. The first page concerns events for the current month; page two carries editorials and miscellaneous articles; on page three are spe- cial events and follow-ups; page four contains the coverage of athletic events; pages five and six carry humorous features that make the paper interesting to all class levels. Mrs. Harris is the adivsor of the Hi-Lite. Even though the articles are written by the staff, everything must meet with Mrs. Harris’ approval. Two special issues are published each year—the Valentine issue and the Special Senior issue. The distribution of these is eag- erly anticipated by the entire student body. These issues, which are compiled, typed, and duplicated entirely by the journalism class, are not included in the regular subscription price. The paper has been self-supporting. Most of its money is obtained from the sale of ads. The rest is acquired through the selling of the paper to the student body. The Hi-Lite also participates in an ex- change system with the other schools in the area, by which it sends papers to them and receives their papers in return. 75 This year for the first time a wrestling club, with Mr. Babyak as advisor, was organ- ized to promote a further interest in the sport of wrestling. At the first meeting of this club the following officers were elected: Robert Marshall, president; Jack Maroni, vice-presi- dent; John Babyak, secretary-treasurer. The wrestling club members learned the set-up of wrestling activities in Pennsylvania. During the season wrestlers from different schools compete in dual meets. At the end of the season three tournaments are held. The first of these tournaments is the sectional The four sections in Western Pennsylvania belong to District Seven. Winners from each of these sections compete in the district tournament. In the state of Pennsylvania there are twelve districts. Each district sends eleven winners to Penn State to compete in the third and final tournament. The winner at Penn State is the state champion. Athletic Institute surveys indicate that the number of schools participating in wrestling will increase by 256% from 1956 to 1966. Sur- prisingly enough, wrestling is less hazardous than football or basketball. The outstanding attendance and fan support for wrestling has been one of the main assets to the full devel- opment of wrestling as a part of the Union athletic program. The club intends to use all money that is made to purchase a bronze plaque to honor Union High’s own state wrestling champions. I'OteAilinq.. Bottom Bow. I to r: E. Ploppa, (). Gavazzi, H.

Have you ever noticed the big crowd around a small building at the football field during half-time of an exciting game? In case you have wondered about the commo- tion, it was the active students of Union High serving hot coffee, hot dogs, pop, candy, and gum to the fans. The refreshment stand gave the fans the energy to cheer our team on to vic- tory. The workers did their share of cheering too. The refreshment stand was under the supervision of Mr. Kimberland, who had the difficult job of getting everything ready be- fore the game and deciding how much coffee, pop, candy, gum, hot dogs and buns he had to order. Mrs. Kimberland helped make every- thing run smoothly at the refreshment stand. She had a cheerful smile for everyone. Mrs. Vukotich assisted as cashier this year. All their efforts were greatly appreciated. The students who offered to work in the refreshment stand also deserve our praise for no matter how busy they were, they managed to give prompt, friendly service. Their reward for doing such a nice job was free admission to the home games. With the splendid co-operation the stu- dents gave Mr. Kimberland and his wife the refreshment stand profited financially and the workers had a lot of fun besides. The students worked together as a group very successfully. The football fans should appreciate the many courtesies given to them at the refresh- ment stand. 77 Bottom Row, 1 to r: R. Dalvesco, J.

SLwdjwL QounciL The Student Council is a co-operative or- ganization which helps solve the students’ problems. The members ot the Student Coun- cil are very understanding because they realize that they represent the student body and that they must set an example for the students to follow. The Student Council is composed of the presidents of each class and the presidents and vice-presidents of each home room. The members of the Student Council chose the following to be their leaders; president, Robert Marshall; vice-president, Tom Gilbert; sec- retary treasurer, Jeanne Capozzoli. Mr Mer- vosh is the advisor of the Student Council. There are not any regular meetings, but Mr. Mervosh or the president of the Student Council may call a meeting when a problem arises or when he thinks it is necessary. The Student Council chose two mem- bers to be hall patrol captains. These two members were Mary Jo Figley and James Durko. The hall patrol helped to control con- gestion in the halls between classes. The Student Council relieved the fac- ulty of some of its duties by helping to solve the students’ problems and some school prob- lems. The Student Council has lived up to its objectives this year. It has made our high school a more pleasant school to attend and a more pleasant place to study. We at Union High School are very proud of our Student Council and the many duties they perform throughout the year. 78 Editorial Bottom How, 1 to r: Mrs. Vukotich, F. Saxton, P. Sendreak, L. Yoho, S.

A group that has done much to further music appreciation is the Union High School band. Under the direction of Mr. Snyder, this organization has had a successful year. The following officers were chosen: president. Nancy Cree; vice president, Carole Gonza- lez; secretary treasurer, Darla Robertson; stu- dent director, Thomas Bane and assistant to Mr. Snyder, Kathy Culley. We shall never forget the many colorful performances of the band at the football games; even on the coldest nights we were assured of the band’s appearance to high- light the game. In December the band sponsored a bake sale. For a second time a banquet was held for the members. They also enlivened assem- blies with their light numbers and were al- ways willing to co-operate when musical talent was required. The annual spring concert this year was a farm show. It was built around the inhabi- tants and life of an imaginary community, Daisytown, U. S. A. Mr. Malone was the pro- prietor of the general store and did the nar- rating. Appropriate farm selections were played. Special mention should be made of one of the band’s best musicians, Robert Tucci. lie has won many honors for himself and the school with his wonderful tuba playing. The majorettes should be commended for their share in the band’s success. They were a great asset to the band in their varied performances. Rose Bongiorni did a superb job as head majorette. 81 (?fauLhl ad A Soph. Front Row, 1 to r: A. Kucic, P. Sciamanna, F. Homitz. Back Row: L. Scopel, J. Scott, P. Muniz. Jrs. I to r: M. Mungello, F.

The club raised some of the money by operating the Pepsi-Cola machine in the auditorium. A New Year's Eve dance helped in raising funds for their treasury. This dance was open to outsiders. The Varsity U was under a new advisor this past year. Mr. Nicksick, who resigned from his post last year, was succeeded by Mr. McGraw. Mr. McGraw is the head coach for the football team and is also manager of the baseball team. The officers of the club were: president, Robert Pompe, vice president, William Ozimek, and secretary-treasurer, Emile Robert. The total number of mem- bers in the club increased considerably this year, because more boys participated in more sports during the year. The increase was from sixteen members to forty-three members. The requirements for entering the club were to earn a letter in any sport or to have participated in a sport for two or more years. An initiation was held for the new members and a small entrance fee of $1.00 was re- quired from each new member. Each senior member who maintained a C average for a period of four years received a small gold token representing the sport in which he excelled. (JaAAih 2L Bottom Row, I to r: J. Coipo, R.

Dudeck J. Coipo R. McCuen The Union High football team, coached by Mr. McGraw and Mr. Campos, had a very successful season this year with five wins and two losses. The two iosses were to VVavnes- burg and Coraopolis. The Blue Devils had eighteen lettermen returning from last year’s football team, which undoubtedly boosted them to this fine record. After losing to Canonsburg for twelve years in succession, the Blue Devils of 1958 won over Canonsburg by a score of 18 to 0. The high point of this game occurred when John W. Riddile galloped 102 yards for a touchdown, which won the game for Union. Three players from the Blue Devil squad were picked for the Eastern Pennsylvania All- Star Game. These players were Bob Marshall, Ken Kavensky, and Bob Pompe. A few weeks after the closing of the sea- son, the members of the Blue Devil team were treated to a chicken dinner at the Burgettstown American Legion Home. The fathers of some of the boys supplied the funds to pay for the dinner. The boys that were awarded letters for participation in the most games were Bob Marshall, Ken Kavensky, Bob Pompe, Ted Dudeck. Don Hart, Ruben Campos, John Coi- po, Jack Maroni, John Riddile, Jim Matalik, Ron Lounder, Bill Ozimek, Bob McCuen, Joe Radacoy, Harry Wolfkill, Bob Pirih, Frank Mika, Sam Samloff, Morris Harvey, Dmvayne Cain, Emile Robert, Paul Morgan, Bob Wil- liamson, Jim Suica, Floyd Marshall, Ron Ayres, Bill Wilkins, and John Ozimek. Letters were also awarded to the managers, Chuck Nicholson, Adolph Schilinski, and Ozzie Gavazzi. The freshman football team, coached by Mr. Nicksick and Mr. Babvak, gained a lot of experience in their games this year. They showed good team spirit and good sportsman- ship throughout the season despite difficult opposition. Each member of this junior high squad received a numeral for his participa- tion in the game. The junior high team had a very loyal following. Leading the fans in cheering was a special group of cheerleaders organized just for these games. The experience gained from the games of 1957-58 will be invaluable to the players in their future years at Union High School. Union High is looking forward to some inter- esting and entertaining football games in seasons vet to come. 89 Joseph Radacoy Jainese Matalik 90 Ronald Lounder Kenneth Kavensky Robert Pompc Donald Hart John W.

He also found his work cut out for him, for the whole infield had graduated The coach went right to work and was rewarded by having his team repeat as section champs. John Dunn, star pitcher for the Blue Devils, was a very important part of the team’s record. John pitched a no-hitter against Avella, the biggest threat in the sec- tion. It was John who clinched the title with his seventh inning home run against Avella in the section play-off game at Washington. In the W. P. I. A. L. play-off game the Devils lost to a tough Mt. Lebanon team. The 1957 team, including seniors John Dunn, Joe Antonetti and Marius Dalverny, certainly was a credit to the coach and to Union High School. M. Dalverny J. Antonetti J.

Riddile Robert Karas James Matalik The Union High varsity basketball team finished the 1958 basketball season in fifth place in section IV with a record of nine wins and thirteen losses. The loss of four seniors this year—John Riddile, Jim Matalik, Bob Karas, and Ron Taborski—will be a blow to the team; but with players such as Denny Delprato, Joe Mus- caro, and John Ozimek, and a coach such as Mr. Fisher, the prospects of a successful 1958- 59 season are very encouraging. Although the B-squad had a record of three wins and nineteen losses, the courage displayed and the experience gained assure us that they may be a promising addition to the ’58-’59 varsity team. The junior high team, coached by Mr. Nicksick, had a record of four wins and six losses. Their eagerness to learn and sports- manship are in their favor to promote them to the varsity squad. Through the efforts of Mr. Fisher and Mr. Nicksick, members of Union High School’s basketball teams are constantly improving, not only as individual players but also in working as a team. The increasing popularity of the sport at Union is a result of the boys’ hard work and determination to win. B Squad Bottom Row. 1 to r: J. Cunningham, A. Davis, R. Ayres, Mr. Nicksick, G.

Marshall The 1957-’58 wrestling team achieved an unprecedented record of fourteen wins and two losses which brought to Union its first athletic trophies in seventeen years. Throughout the season four boys went undefeated. Douglas Harris was a newcomer to the varsity souad. His division was 88 lbs. but he wrestled twice in the 95-lb. class. In one of these matches he overcame an addi- tional handicap, an arm injury. Ronald Della- pina had an easy win at the W.P.I.A.L. Dis- trict Tournament. Floyd Marshall, using his specialty—the cradle, rocked his way to vic- tory' in the 145-lb. division. Bob Marshall, the state champion of the 1956-’57 season, con- tinued his fine record this year by pinning all but one opponent, including those in the tour- nament. Andy Rommes and Jack Maroni fol- lowed close behind these winners with only one defeat. These boys representing Union at the dis- trict tournaments earned the nickname ‘‘Mur- derers’ row” and brought home the district tournament trophy. As winners in the district tournaments. Bob Marshall, Jack Maroni, and D. Hart T. Dudeck Floyd Marshall represented Union High at the tournaments at Penn State on March 29.
