During our days at Union High School, student life has played a prominent part in our strive for education. Appropriately, we have chosen student life for our theme. Our title pages, which divide the book in- to five parts, depict our life as students at Union High School. In order that we might fulfill our student- life theme, we have arranged our hook so that each division page represents a separate phase of our growth in democratic living. We sincerely hope that this yearbook will live on to gladden the hearts of every graduate with memories of the past. We of the staff have enjoyed our work on the composition and man- agement of this book, and with a justifiable feeling of pride we now present to you who have so generously supported our efforts the U for nineteen hundred and fifty-nine. fonbwiA, (page tidjwiiioA, 6 SsUfUDhA. $0 (JlaAAZA. 60 CWtlsdicA. 72 Jaculig, GdiL % tint (x)ohk QjamsiA. (BaMug. 4 (bodkjcduyfL Mr. James W. Kimberland It is with sincere devotion and appreciation of your friendship that we, the Senior Class of 1959, dedicate our annual to you, Mr. Kimberland. Throughout your thirteen years at Union as a leader and an educator, your warm smile and willingness to help us with our problems lias made you one of our most popular teachers. Those of us fortunate enough to be in your mathematics classes soon learned that we were not there to waste time but to gain a better understanding of the subject. Through your efforts and understanding we soon reached that goal. Besides your work as a teacher, you have helped Union to become a better high school by unselfishly giving of your time to sponsor the ever-popular Sportsman’s Club. We are certain that once a boy has joined the Sportsman’s Club, he will leave it with a better understanding and respect for outdoor life. You made our football games more enjoy- able by supervising the refreshment stand. On a cold autumn night you saved many of us from freezing with a hot cup of “java” and a “hot dog.” As seniors, we sincerely tell you that the memory of you will always remain in the minds of the many students whom you taught at Union. 5 tTxJjLviiuidu “It’s activities that puts our armor on, And all our just designs fulfills; Through activities our feet can swiftly run, And nimbly climb the steepest hills.” —“The American Soldier’s Hymn 6 Senior Queen for ’59 and Court S ni L disyfUA.

The Hi-Y started the 1958-59 school year with the following officers: Emile Robert, presi- dent; Joseph Muscaro, vice president; Allan Davis, secretary-treasurer; Tom Gilbert, chaplain. In October the new members were initiated into the Hi-Y, and they took upon themselves to uphold the high ideals of the Hi-Y motto which is: “To create, maintain, and extend throughout the home, school, and community, high stand- ards of Christian character.” One of the inter- esting requirements of initiation for a new mem- ber was to sing a song before the gioup. In January the Hi-Y held a dance after the Dormont game. A portion of the money col- lected was given to charity. Another project which helped to raise funds was the annual Easter egg sale. With this money, the club purchases a useful article for the school. 13 The excellent work and interest in the club’s function by its members has made the Hi-Y one of the best boys’ club in the high school. A special thanks should be given to Mr. Joseph Snyder, the faculty advisor, for making the year a success. January Dance. JhL-iHL-ty (BsdjDL Bottom Row, I. tor.: M. Toth, B. Allison, C. Boiler, B.

The Beta Tri-Hi-Y is a companion club of the Alpha, Gamma, and the Hi-Y. It is associated with the Y. M. C. A. and is an active member of the Southwest District. The main purpose of the club is to create, maintain, and extend high standards of Chris- tian living. The Ebcrlc Brothers? The membership in this club is not limited to any certain number of people. However, if you do become a member, you must live up to your obligations as a club member. Mrs. Vukotich, Beta advisor, and her officers help in keeping the club active. The officers are: President, Patty McKee; Vice President, Ruth Martin; Secretary, Mary Lou Nemeth; Treas- urer, Becky Petrucci; Chaplain, Sue Cowden; and Historian, Lana Garcia. The club is an outstanding example in its purpose to better one’s self and others. It helps people to live better socially as well as to be a better Christian. Getting along with other people is something the Tri-Hi-Y promotes a great deal. The club should continue to be helpful in future years. 14 fommjcL The Gamma Tri-Hi-Y was established at Union High School three years ago. The Gamma like the Alpha and Beta Chapters, is a service club. Under the leadership of President, Carol Cindrich and the faculty sponsor, Mrs. Edwards, Gamma has taken its place beside her sister clubs, Alpha and Beta, and her brother club, the Hi-Y. This club teaches each club member how to conduct a meeting, how to get along with one another in school, how to feel more confident in ones’ self, and how to perform duties required by the club. Members are guided by the Tri- Hi-Y motto To create, maintain, and extend throughout the home, school, and community, high standards of Christian character. The officers of the club are: President. Carol Cindrich; Vice President, Betty Jo Clark: Sec- retary, Cheryl Ralston; Treasurer, Gyla Mc- Donald: Chaplain, Linda George; and Song Leader, Carol Mecannic.

Success was due to the election of cap- able officers. This year’s officers are: President, James Suica; Vice President. Paul Ward; Secre- tary-Treasurer, Jayne Bable. To start the club’s activities, feathers with Union High School on them were sold to the student body. This sale proved to be a success, for almost everyone bought one. Since the Spanish Club began needy fam- ilies have been remembered during the holi- days. On Thanksgiving, baskets were filled with food and distributed to deserving families. At Christmas time baskets were filled with toys and distributed to the less fortunate children of our area. Since no year is complete without a dance sponsored by the Spanish Club, this year was no exception. Reversed Weekend was the theme chosen for the dance which was held on Decem- ber 6. The Spanish Club successfully completed all of the club’s worthwhile projects. Bottom Bow, 1. tor.: D. Lawson, C. Hamilton, M. Andrikanich, J. Pagasky, P. Morgan. 2nd Row: W. Fratini, II.

The Latin Club, sponsored by Mrs. Pusateri, elected the following members as officers in Sep- tember: Kerry Jelovich, president; John Ozimek, vice president; Janet Lnkon, secretary; and James Johnson, treasurer. At the first meeting the members decided to do something different at their annual dance by making it a semi-formal, stag dance. This dance called the Harvest Ball, had for its main attraction a group of singers, The Shakers. The Harvest Ball proved to be one of the big- gest events of the year. The Latin and Spanish Clubs joined efforts during the Thanksgiving season, and each mem- ber brought food for baskets which were given to needy families. During the Christmas season the two clubs again united, and each member brought old toys for distribution to children. The members worked hard repairing and painting them. Another project at Christmas was the visit to the Day-Care-Training Center to hold a party for retarded children. Both the Thanksgiving and the Christmas projects have been permanently adopted by the club. Harvest Ball 17 c ibhaJu (flub cH IpA. VYhim SiudsmJtA.. Bottom Row, 1. to r.: H. Horovitz, J. Fratini, C.

Miss Scott, and her librarians did a fine job of charging books to stu- dents and checking them off when they were returned. In October a meeting was held and officers were elected. They are the following: Presi- dent, Helene Horovitz; Vice President, Jo Ann Fratini; Secretary, Callie Ann Kennedy; Treas- urer, Carol Pasqualini. The Library Club has no regular meetings, but a meeting is called whenever necessary. The library is one of the most needed rooms in the school. There students have the privilege of reading books and newspapers and finding information needed for classes. The Library Club held its annual tea party on February 12th. during the eighth period iii the library. The event was well attended by the club members and their faculty guests. The party was greatly enjoyed by all who attended it. 18 fomm JvriaL Qlub (phovid A. (Additional Jhainim The Commercial Club was organized primarily to give its members additional in- struction on topics which cannot be fully covered in the classroom. Another function of the club is to instruct anyone enrolled in the Commercial Course as to the duties of an efficient office worker. Every year the club undertakes two pro- jects—to buy a pin for the highest ranking commercial student and to pay half the cost of “Today’s Secretary,” a secretarial magazine which seniors receive for use in class work. To obtain money for these projects, the club members sell candy and gum at games. Under the guidance of Miss Tiano, the girls are given a better understanding of the commercial field and are made fully aware of the many requirements necessary to equip a secretary for a responsible position. The following officers were elected: Sara Fodor, president; Barbara Krynak, vice presi- dent; Mary Rose Caruso, secretary-treasurer; Helene Horovitz and Nellie Fritch, program chairmen.

The girls worked hard and enthusiastically to make it a success. At Christmas they presented a very inter- esting program. This program painted a musical picture of traditional Christmas activities. The two chief attractions in the program were: “Jolly Old Saint Nick and The Chipmunks.” These scenes were ably acted out by Pete Blue, John Sarracino. Charles Webster, and James Bernola. The musical organizations of Union High School have been created and have thrived on an interest in music alone. Thirty-eight girls were chosen for membership because of their special ability in reading music and in blending their voices and tone quality. Their first public appearance was the At the choral festival held at Mt. Lebanon High School, our school was ably represented bv Jean Dluski, Irene Fuller, Carol Malone, and Laurel Malone.

The College Club, under the leadership of Miss George, our guidance counselor, has com- pleted its fourth year at Union High School. The members, of the club, are composed of seniors interested in furthering their education. The main purpose of the club is to answer all questions the members may have about col- lege requirements and the life of a college stu- dent. Since the group doesn’t hold regular month- ly meetings, there is no need for officers. The faculty adviser, however, sees that they meet when there is a problem to be discussed. Many times during the course of the year the members of the club could be found in Miss George’s room seeking help in filling in appli- cations or applying for scholarships. The Nurses Club, sponsored by Miss George, is devoted to girls interested in the nursing pro- fession. This year the club consists of thirty-five jun- ior and senior girls interested in becoming fa- miliar with local hospitals and training oppor- tunities. In order to establish interest and famil- iarity in nursing as a career, the members take hospital tours. Some hospitals visited were Mercy, Washington, and Presbyterian. They have heard guest speakers and discussed the profession at their meetings. On November 4, the club saw a movie and heard a guest speaker, Mrs. Frank, who is on the teaching staff at Washington Hospital. She outlined the important information that must be considered essential to those selecting a nurses- training school. The members were familiarized with areas in the profession which are available.

The Future Teachers of America, under the expert guidance of Miss George, our guid- ance counselor, accomplished many things this year. The purpose of the club is to study and identify the qualities, traits, and aptitudes which are essential for successful teaching. Different teaching fields are studied. To be a member of the club one has to have an interest in the teach- ing profession. The following members were chosen to serve the club as officers: Helene Horovitz, President; Donna Schiavo, Vice President; Jo Ann Fratini, Secretary. The club raised money this year by selling book covers and sweaters to the student body. Club meetings were held, during lunch hour, on one Wednesday of each month at which time various problems about teaching were dis- cussed. Often during the year senior members were seen walking about the halls looking very neat and well-dressed. This happened on the days when the members were given opportunities to teach in the elementary schools. A great deal of practical experience was gained by members who did substitute teaching during the year. 23 QnduAbiiaL (Ani , 'Hoa. (Active (lfacuc Cabinet makers Experience is something that must be achieved by each individual. Through the efforts of the Industrial Arts Club, its members gain much useful knowledge. This knowledge gained by the boys will be of great value after their graduation. The Industrial Arts Club is under the spon- sorship of Mr. Philip Sauter. It began the years activities by electing the following officers: Presi- dent, John Krynak; Vice President, Robert Davis; Secretary-Treasurer, John Minko. New members were selected at the same meeting at which the officers were elected. Hageman Bolling, Tom Puskarich, Bill Revay, and Mickey LaRocka were chosen. Club meetings are held once a month dur- ing club period in the shop. The members are taught the importance of the correct use of shop equipment. This knowledge must be acquired before the boys are permitted to use any machin- ery. The club members are frequently seen about the school working on stage sets, repairing fuse boxes, fixing chairs, or other school equipment. When not doing this, they are working on small- er projects of their own. The efficient manner with which the mem- bers complete their tasks deserves much credit. Bottom Row, I. to r.: J. Minko, R.

Under Mr. Bohn’s leadership, the club ex- panded into a model builders club rather than remain a model airplane club because members were interested in constructing dif- ferent types of models rather than concentrate exclusively on planes. The purpose of the Models Club is to teach the boys not only the building of model exhibits but also to read the blueprints and to understand how they work. This year the club started their activities by electing the following officers: Jim Span- ogians, president; Carl Jeffrey, N ice president; John Sarraeino, secretary-treasurer. The club is working upon an unusual two-year project which entails the construc- tion of a model race track complete with electrical-driven model racers. When the track is completed the members can compete in races using their own model racing cars. Under the supervision of their faculty advisor, Mr. Bohn, the club has become quite popular with mechanically inclined students. 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 their club's activities.

One of the popular clubs for boys of Union High School is the Sportsmens Club because it deals with activities boys like to do. Sportsmen take a fling at life The club, under the supervision of Mr. Kimberland, limits membership to about forty- five boys from the freshman, sophomore, jun- ior, and senior classes who are interested in sports such as hunting, fishing, and trapping. The chief purpose of the club is to teach boys good sportsmanship and safety. The chief objectives of the club are to learn through experience and group discus- sions a knowledge of the out-doors, an ap- preciation of wild life, the safe and proper methods of using firearms, and the joy of clean sportsmanship. The club meetings are spent in the dis- cussion of sports, guns, animals, and sports- manship. This year a list was compiled of the per- centages of different animals that had been caught and the total amount of game that had been bagged by the members. The re- port showed a record amount, however, mem- bers reported a scarcity of some species in places where a great number were found in former years. This year the following officers were elected: President, Joseph Harvey; Vice Presi- dent, Pete Blue; Secretary, Tom Garcy; Treas- urer, Charles Farulli. (bdtivsL tjihLbu £nj0Jj ihsL (L. (L. The Girls’ Athletic Association is an organi- zation whose aim is to teach girls good sports- manship and provide opportunities to develop athletic ability. The membership of the club is composed of tenth, eleventh, and twelfth-grade girls who are interested in sports. The girls' opportunities to take part in sport activities are numerous. They can play basketball, volleyball, or softball. Dur- ing monthly club periods that are held in the gym, they dance or participate in games between member teams. The officers of the club this year were: Susan Rash, president; Betty Melnyk, vice pres- ident; and Kathy Stewart, secretary-treasurer. The club’s annual dance was held in Decem- ber. The main attraction of this dance was the crowning of the 1959 Football King and Queen. This year Sam Samloff was crowned king, and Mary Ellen Blaine was crowned queen. Susan Rash and Frank Mika were selected as first attendants to the king and queen. At the annual party, food was brought bv all the girls. After refreshments were served, the remainder of the evening was spent in dancing. Everyone enjoyed themselves. The evening passed all too quickly. This year the club was under the sponsor- ship of Mrs. Jean Beyer. Ambitious maids. Bottom Row, 1. to r.: J. Zabetakis, K. Young, C. Harris, B. Melnyk, S. Rash, Mrs. Beyers, K. Stewart, M.

It is printed at the local printing office in an easy-to-read type and published at the end of the month as a regular newspaper. The paper is self-supporting. Most of the money is obtained by selling ads with the rest being acquired through the selling of the paper to the student body. Mr. Regis Brozier is the advisor of the Hi-Lite. The business manager is Carol Pan- coni. Sara Fodor, the news editor, is assisted by Rose Gallo while Mary Rose Caruso, the feature editor, is assisted by Carol Panconi. Jo Ann Fratini is the correspondence editor. The staff collects and writes the news and then sends it to Mr. Brozier who decides if articles are worthy of publication. Each month copies of the Hi-Lite are sent to various area schools which in turn send copies of their paper to Union. 29 The paper has arrived! %L Stag . o£ 1959 Business U. Bottom Row, 1. to r.: B.

Samloff Throughout the years the Student Council has been a credit to Union High School, and this year is no exception. The council advisor, Mr. Mervosh, calls meetings when a problem or question arises in the school that requires the student’s opinion in school matters. The following members were chosen as officers for the year: Floyd Marshall, president; Thomas Gilbert, vice president; Mary Ellen Blaine, secretary-treasurer. The Student Council is composed of presidents from each class and presidents and vice-presidents of each home room. Members of the Student Council strive to gain the co-operation of the students in regard to the questions and problems that arise in the school. At the first meeting two hall-patrol cap- tains, Francis Swartz and Frank Mika, were chosen. The purpose of the hall patrol, since it was organized in 1952, is to cut down the congestion in the halls. High praise should be given to the Student Council for making the school year a big success.

This club is made up of girls interested in dancing. The dancing does not include rock and roll, however. Mrs. Vukotich started the club only this year, but the dancing started last year when Sirs. Vukotich taught physical education in place of Mrs. Beyer who was on leave of ab- sense. The girls liked to dance so well that many joined the club this year. The girls meet every Thursday during the eighth period. Those who cannot be there the eighth period because of classes meet the first period on Friday under the direction of Mrs. Beyer. Although the club is called the Kolo Club, kolos are not the only dances the girls do. They have done most of the standard dances and have even tried the cha cha and square dance for variety. The girls had a very fine program this year, and there are even bigger and better plans for next year. The Kolo Club promises to be a new and popular form of entertainment at Union High School in the future. Bottom Row, 1. to r.: L. Duni, M. Nicholson, S. O’Palka, B. Allison, S. Harris, M. Fowler, W.

It was only the students of Union High School serving refreshments to the fans. The refreshment stand is under the super- vision of Mr. Kimberland; assisting him are Miss Filipponi, acting as cashier, and students of Union High School. The students who offered to work in the refreshment stand did so on their own time with free admission to the games as their only reward. The stand was open for all football games including those of the B-squad and freshman teams. With the excellent cooperation of the staff, Mr. Kimberland had another successful season. The members deserve the thanks of all the fans for the fine service they have continually given them. 33 The Pause that refreshes HawL dladu Swuulaa£juL (1 uVl Bottom Row, I. to r.: S. Rash, R.

The band, under the artful direction of Mr. Snyder, again came through this year with a fine showing of performances. Although the band membership was considerably smaller this year, their fine playing and skillful routines cleverly overcame this handicap. The majorettes led by Susan Rash, excelled this year on the football field. Their witty and unique skits proved entertaining to all who watched them perform. We all remember two skits that will especially stand out in everyone’s memory. These were “The Space Man” and “Mr. Touchdown. This year the band will be losing three graduating majorettes—Susan Rash, Mary Ellen Blaine, and Rita Lounder. We have always been able to count on the band to give their best performances at pep rallies and assemblies. The concert this year presented a very colorful scene, and the band gave a fine demonstration of its ability. We, together with the whole school, say thank you, Mr. Snyder and thanks to the band for a job well done! 34 VtlajoArilsLAu VVlaksL SfioAtA. Qoloh uL Bottom Row, I. to r.: M. Esno, S. Rash.

The club membership is made up of boys who won a letter in a sport or who played in a sport for at least two years. The officers of the club are: Emile Robert, president; William Hemphill, vice president; James Suica, secretary-treasurer. When a member receives a letter in one sport, he can purchase a sweater. Seniors who have received a letter in more than one sport become eligible to receive not only the sweater but also the choice of a gold football, basket- ball, baseball, or wrestling medal if scholastic records over a four-year period average C or better. The annual Varsity U dance was held on April 17th to help finance club costs. Mark Flan- agan, disc jockey at WEEP was master of ceremonies.

Senior majorettes were Susan Rash, head majorette, Rita Rounder, and Mary Ellen Blaine. The only member of the class in the band was Ronald Tasz. The cheerleaders were well represented. Marianne Mungello, head cheerleader, was supported by Nellie Fritch, Dolores Mankowski, Frances Swartz, and Jo Ann Marra. JoAnn Fratini, class secretary-treasurer, was chosen to represent the Pennsylvania chapter of the Tri-Hi-Y as State Chaplain.

Jimmy, a fine student and a promising athlete, participated in Little League baseball and enjoyed various outdoor sports. He had many friends among his classmates. Ilis untimely death on August 2, 1953, was a shock to the entire community. His brothers, George and Harold McElhany, have established in his honor an award which is presented annually to the senior student most outstanding in the field of athletics. 57 James Lee McElhany Four sophomores Driver training Tickets!

Dugas, Mr. Borzier, C. Pasqualini, R. Ayres. QunwhAu The class of juniors has many outstanding individuals of whom they may be very proud at the present and in the future. There are, first of all, the class officers: President, Carol Pasqualini; Vice President, Ron Ayres; Secretary-Treasurer, Francis Dugas. This selection was made wisely and intelligently. Next, a few teachers put their heads togeth- er and chose Felicia Homitz, Patty Sciamanna, Janet Scott, Lynn Scopel, Toni Kucic, and Patty Muniz as the junior cheerleaders. These girls showed boundless enthusiasm at the football games, basketball games, and at the wrestling matches. Another group, the majorettes, were chosen by Mr. J. J. Snyder, our band director. Marianne Esno was assistant head majorette for the 1958- 59 season and will be head majorette for the 1959-60 season. Linda Maroni and Donna Kiger were selected as regular majorettes. The major- ettes did a stupendous job in the cold weather marching in front of the band. The magazine campaign was in full charge of Mrs. Pusateri and Miss George. The class did a great job at selling, for it is the first class to ever reach their goal on magazine sales. They topped their goal of $25(X).(X) by $107.53. The number in the class is much larger than the graduating class of ’59. They total 156, 92 girls and 64 boys. (Every boy has one girl plus, so gentlemen please don’t fuss.) The Junior Class Play was held, and it was a very interesting and exciting play. Congratu- lations Class of '60! The class party was well attended and it proved to be a great success. The big moment that the juniors were ex- cited about was the Junior-Senior Prom which was the biggest event of the year for the juniors because they made all arrangements and plans on their own. It was a wonderful event. Bottom Row, 1. to r.: A. Capozzoli, M. Allison, F. Bartoletti. B. Dalvesco, I). Anderson, D. Drazick, K. Coipo, M. Cagnon, J. Can- ning. 2nd Row: J. Collins. J.

SoplrwmfftSLbu The sophomores of this year went forth and proved themselves worthy of being called next year’s upper classmen. They started the year bv electing three capable officers to lead them. They were: John Tasz, president; Lynn Hill, vice president; Karen Kosem, secretary-treasurer. Many outstanding individuals contributed to the school in the form of athletics, scholastic ability, and leadership. Among those out as cheerleaders were: Karen Kosem, Lana Garcia, Carol Gavazzi, Gloria Boni, and Harriet Holt. The class was represented in the cheerleading section by Alice Alvarez. The entire class dis- played great enthusiasm at pep rallies, assem- blies, and games. In the spring of the year the sophomores held their annual class party. This event was looked forward to by many students. The turn- out was tremendous. Class Officers: L. Hill, K. Kosem, Miss Scott, Miss Tiano, J. Tasz. For many of the members the sophomore year is the stepping stone to greater opportuni- ties. Under the capable leadership of Miss Scott and Miss Tiano, this year has prepared them for the honor of being called juniors. Bottom Row, 1. to r.: C. Gav- a .zi, I.. Barnhart, P. Camp, K. Esno, R.

They started the year by electing a capable group of officers to represent them. Those students who were elected were: President, Carl Jeffrey; Vice President, Kathy Homitz; Secretary-Treasurer, John Guna. With Mrs. Vukotich as their faculty advisor, this freshman class was destined to have a very eventful and successful school year. During the summer the members had built up a vast store of pep and enthusiasm that was to prove a valuable asset to the various clubs which they joined during the year. Their annual party took the form of a hay- ride which was certainly different from the usual type of entertainment found at school parties. This ride was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone who took part. A great many of these freshmen showed considerable interest and ability in the various sports and other activities in which they parti- cipated. Sixteen reported for band (one as color guard), twenty for football, thirteen for basket- ball, six for baseball, and eleven for wrestling. Under the skilled direction of Mrs. Vuko- tich, this enthusiastic freshman class made a rapid adjustment to school routine at Union High School. The freshmen willingly took part in all noon-hour sports. From present indications it seems apparent that this class should develop into an outstanding sophomore group. Bottom Row, 1. to r.: C.

With the help and understanding of the upper class- men, they soon settled down to their new routine and became acquainted with their fellow class- mates. At the first class meeting officers were elected for the year. These officers are: Ted Mervosh, president; Jerry Gava . .i, vice presi- dent; Paul Tepsic, secretary-treasurer. Mr. Hanna is the capable advisor of the class. The first social activity attempted by the class was the Halloween party which was held in the high-school gymnasium. It was well attended, and a good time was had by everyone. One of the main attractions of the party was the awarding of prizes to those who were dressed in the best costumes. Carol Cindrich received a prize for having the prettiest costume; John Kumblick for the ugliest; Joseph Prebish for the most original; and George Swanik for the funniest. Many of the eighth graders displayed great interest and ability in the various school activi- ties. The year found four members out for football, nine members out for basketball, and four members out for wrestling. The class was also ably represented by eighteen members in Class Officers: T. Mervosh, Mr. Hanna, J. Gavazzi, P. Tepsic. the band and in the chorus. Many joined the different clubs and were very active (One of the most popular among the girls' clubs proved to be the Gamma Tri-Hi-Y). The eighth graders, who excelled in scholar- ship, club activities, and sports, have a promising future ahead of them in the remaining four years at Union High School. Bottom Row, 1. to r.: B.

Twelve lcttermcn reported to form the nucleus of the “58” squad. These lettermen, along with twenty- eight juniors and sophomores, rounded out the squad. Coach McGraw took care of the backfield while Coach Campos handled the linemen. Practice was tough for the first few days, and many candidates were unable to stand the pace. However, as time passed a smooth-working team was molded into shape. The opening game with Bethlehem-Center found Union on tin short end of a 0-19 score. The following week found the team still suffering from shock when they met Waynesburg. Again Union lost, 7-13. Then the team came to lift and defeated Chartiers with the whopping score of 29-7. Resting on their laurels, the team met Jefferson-Morgan next and lost, 6-25. After this loss, which was followed by a pep talk from Coach McGraw, it was impossible to stop the team. Union went on to defeat powerful California, 14-13. This vic- tory was followed by a win over previously unbeaten Madonna, 27-14. Brentwood lost to Union, 12-0. Hic- kory was smothered by a score of 35-6. Union closed the season by defeating Canonsburg, 33-12. The final record showed six wins and three losses for the season.

Although the boys were inexperienced, they con- tinouslv showed a determination to learn everything possible about football. They did not win many games, but they gained ex- perience steadily throughout the season as evidenced by improved scores made by the team. During the season the “B” squad had one win and three losses. “B” SQUAD Union vs Bridgeville 0-14 L Union vs Trinity 7-13 L Union vs Follansbce 14-18 L Union vs Scott Township 13-12 W The freshmen, under the guidance of head coach, Mr. Babyak, with the assistance of Mr. Thames, closed the season with one win, three losses, and one tied game. The coaches had to start teaching the simplest fundamentals before adding the more complicated plays. Limited time, therefore, was probably a factor for losses that might have been wins. Like the members of the “B” squad, however, the freshmen compensated for their lack of experience by their determination to keep fight- ing until the end of the game. The season’s record is as follows: JUNIOR HIGH Union vs Follansl ee 12-31 L Union vs South Fayette 13-12 W Union vs Bridgeville 0-21 L Union vs Follansbee 0-0 T Union vs Moon Township 8-13 L Despite the scores the reserves and freshmen have shown that next season they will be back to give their opponents some real competition. 75 ChahiAhsuL TYlstmcfiioA Nellie Line Up!

This was a hard-fought battle between Burgettstown and Avella with Union High coming out on top by a score of seven to three. Sparking the club were two power hitters, Ken Kavensky and Bill Ozimek. Also outstand- ing were Jim Matalik, a scrappy infielder, and John Riddile, a superb pitcher. One of the highlights of this season was John Riddiles one-hitter against Mt. Lebanon.

These members, along with Ken- neth Gavazzi, Joseph Harvey, John Krynak, James Manni, Frank Mika, Morris Harvey, and Robert Pirih, proved that long, hard work and fine coaching make a winning team.
