DEDICATION the graduating class of 1954, wish to dedicate this year- Jeepest appreciation, to M for her unfailing inti book, with deepest appreciation, to Miss Carrie May Rentz, terest and helpfulness toward us. Graduates of the class of 1954, You have at last reached the place where the road turns after what many of you have considered to be a long journey, no doubt, but one which you nevertheless end with a bit of reluctance. It has been a journey on which you had the opportunity to work side by side, sharing each other's successes and fail- ures, each other's joys and disappointments. As you take leave of each other and start out on widely-separated paths may God and the spirits of your alma mater go with you and guide you to your goal and into useful citizenship. May you have good health, many loyal friends and success in your chosen careers and may you ever be mindful of the motto that We Finish To Begin. Carrie Mae Rentz 4 C HE theme of our yearbook is, The Sea Around Us. It represents the highlight and darkness in the world into which we are about to step. It has lighthouses where we may receive help, and dark abysses where we shall falter. Many of us will flounder in this sea, a few of us will achieve high acclaim, but the most of us will live normal lives, and take our places beside the average citizens. CLASS SONG Melody-WHEN I GROW TOO OLD TO DREAM When we leave dear Union High We'll have things to remember We'll have dreams both sad and glad That stay down deep in our hearts So sadly we part to search this wide world But 'til we meet a-gain someday the memories live in your heart. Remember the work the pleasure the fun. But best of all through all the years remember Old Union High. Joan Mattocks CLASS POEM Attention, dear readers, lend me your ears, And I'll tell you a story down through the years. Beginning with reading, spelling, and such; Ending with chemistry or typing by touch. Our teachers so very patient were. And also tactful, I declare. They started our lessons very slowly. Observing our progress rather closely. Our number of books grew year by year; New subjects gave us a touch of fear. But after a while we mastered them. By reading, reciting, and then an exam. Between spells of learning we also had fun With football; and baseball under the sun. With clubs and plays and parties and such. Refreshments with candy, cake, and good punch. The years rolled by and older we've grown. Our childish whims out the window hove flown. We no longer try to aim for the sky. But we'll do our best and boost Union Highl So thanks to the principal, teachers, and all Who graciously answered our beck and call. Taught us our lessons till now we are done. May God bless you for it, yes, every one.

Ma - Always hard at work. Mary Bell - Those failures never bother her. Office - Conference (wonder what about?) Shop - What will this turn out to be. Office - Boy is this discipline rough. Socs - What's gonna happen next. Pat - Never a full moment. Elma - Familiar scene in Library. Fox - Will this ever be a dress? ■D- This KNOCKER was not meant to hurt So Don't get angry, please. Cause we know you're all good sports And can take a friendly tease. the knocker The way BILL BAILEY hangs on to his money, he'll be a millionaire before he is 21. PATTY HUFF misses so much school that when she does come, the teachers all think it's visitors day. The Senior class is going to get together ond buy CHRIS ROGAN an alarm clock. Maybe then he'll get where he is going on time for a change. SHIRLEY HEPLER doesn't pretend to be a brain, but then who does? If JIM REED were as much of a lady-killer os he thinks he is, he'd be sent up for first degree murder. I wish someone would wise SHIRLEY VERENSKI up to the fact that she is not in Hollywood. You'd think she was the star of the year the way she is always painted up. Have you ever noticed the size of DON BOWDEN'S lunch? I sweor he brings everything in it but the kitch- en sink. It's a wonder JANE ANN WALLACE'S jaws don't get tired from her continual talking. Pretty soon the school board is going to issue ear muffs to all the students. ALABAMA SPARKS seems to be pretty good at basket- ball. I didn't think there was such a thing as basket- ball where he came from. If you ever have ony news don't bother putting it in the paper, just tell it to STELLA SNEIZEK and it'll be sure to get around. If DICK JACOBSON ever gets a girl-friend she'll have to get used to riding around on a tractor. Dick just isn't at home without one. MARTHA JO HILL has a habit of always laughing at the wrong time. Some day she'll learnl (The hard way.) NEIL SAMS' favorite saying is: Better late than never. He can't even make it to the games on time anymore I MARGARET METTE seems to be nice and quiet at school. But have you ever been around her out of school? CURLY STEWART is really a Casanova when it comes to women. If you don't believe me just osk him! You'd think SUZANNE MORRISSEY owned a Paris Dress Shop. At least she looks it from the way she dresses. Just because JIM HUDSON'S hair is wavy he doesn't have to wear it Veronica Lake style. I wonder why EUGENIA MARTINKO has such long legs. Maybe it's from chasing boys. Have you ever noticed the muscles in DAVE LEEPER'S arms? That comes from putting them around girls whether they like it or not. I don't think there could ever be a dance at school with- out MARY ANN NOGEE on some committee. In case you ever hear a big boom out New Bedford way, it's onlv FRANK THOMASAC going up in the air with one of nis physics experiments. He's never had a suc- cessful one yet. ELAINE VAN HORN always flirts with the boys. Is if because boys won't flirt with her? I wonder where GEORGE SAFRANIC gets all his extra cash. There have been quite a few robberies in New Castle lately. But, of course, that has nothing to do with George! Hoi JOAN MATTOCKS is really the brain of the class. But then who wouldn't be if they always had their nose stuck in a book. If JIMMY GWIN had another brain it would be lone- some. His thinking ability is limited to girls only and that's not saying much. DONNA PRIMA VERE had a hobby. It was collecting engagements rings. Let's hope she found the right guy this time. ED LANGFORD'S last name should be Sullivan. They both have such hearty smiles. By looking at LAURA DOUBLE you could quote the old saying, You can't judge a book by its cover. RONNIE FELGER'S love for hof-rodding will soon ei- ther get him to the Pulaski Speedway or the Edenburg Cemetery. PATTY RUDESILL could be the perfect model of our class except for a few minor details. If JACK HENRY or ANDREW JANOWICK didn't vawn or sneeze once in a while, no one would even know they were alive. If JOYCE CRAWFORD got rid of her hot temper maybe she could get along with someone once in a while. DICK LIST is always willing to chauffeur kids around in his truck. But he never thinks of the doctor bills to pay for their injuries. If FLORENCE and FRANCES'S last name wasn't KAUFF- MANN you'd never know they were even related. One's taking Geritol. I don't know what MICKEY YANNUCCI would do with- out his classmates. They always have something he needs including paper, pencils, notes, and homework papers. We all know ELVIE HANNA has worked in the meat dept, of the A P for quite a while now. I wonder if that's where all her extra pounds ore coming from. You know you can't have brains and good looks both. Just ask BOB SELTZER how he thinks he rates. The Seniors must not be good enough for KATIE ERRICO. She prefers underclassmen, and a preacher's son at that. If ED PHILLIPS didn't spend so much time running up to the dairy between classes, maybe his legs wouldn't be so long. PEGGY MC KINLEY has the cutest way of ignoring people when she brings the announcements around. And it's not because she is timid, that's for sure. I wonder why BOB NELSON is so pokey? He acts as if every move is his last. I wonder why everyone's so nice to THERESA PETRELLA. Maybe it's because they are afraid of her dirty looks and unkind words. JIM VALIENSI can sure make a lot of noise for all the bigger he is. You hear him even before you see him. ETHEL GODDARD'S hair always looks nice and neat. But then who wouldn't if they spent all noon in the lav, primping. 16 KNOCKER CONT'D. If BOB JONES spent as much time studying as he does holding Peggy's hand he'd be on high honors. BARBARA ALLEN should write a book on How to make Nasty Remarks, because she sure is an old hand at that. You can tell by ALICE FLEEGER'S walk that she was a majorette. Hal DICK TAAFE has a cute dimple that he thinks impresses the girls. Shall we tell him otherwise? MARILYN MORRIS'S purse looks like the surplus coun- ter at the 5 10. She carries anything and every- thing. Maybe by the time JOHN SLICK graduates he'll be able to afford a car instead of the heap he has been driving. If RUTH JONES tried to get along with her friends in- stead of complaining how they act she might get along better with them. JIM ROBINSON should have a leading role in the movie, The Silent Man. He wouldn't even need to attend rehearsals. FLOY ARTMAN is slowly, but surely, becoming the Margaret Truman of the Senior Class. SHIRLEY MULLEN and NANCY WINGARD are old hands at hooking out. At least they should be by now. I wonder what it is about TOM TROUPE that impresses the girls so much. I'll give you 3 guesses and it's not his flirty giggle either. DONNA PLANO wants to be sure she never fails any- thing. With all the browning she does she'll be sure to pass. RED VOGUS goes around calling everyone a mental case. I wonder if he ever considered his own case. The only thing that has grown on SHIRLEY TORCHIOin the past few years is her laugh, at least that's all thafs noticeable. It seems KENNY WELKER gets a back seat in every class. Of course, that's so he has room to stretch his legs without disturbing everyone in the row. ELEANOR ZELINSKI seems to enjoy her work in the office. But then, who wouldn't enjoy eating and day- dreaming 2 3 of the day. TEDDY LATIMER'S hair looks too nice to be real. Need we say more? ROLAND BATOR sorta looks like a great big you all hillbilly. All he needs now is a hound dog at his heels. JO ANN TAYLOR likes 3 D movies, cowboy movies, love story and drive in movies. But it takes a twosome to make a movie woosome. I wonder if that's why she likes movies. BOB KRATOFIL should go into the wrecking business. He sure got enough practice on Union High School. DOROTHY PRESNAR claims her nickname is Dippy. We think it should be Daffy or Drippy . JIM DIAMOND is on expert at getting away with things, but then who wouldn't be, when they can tell such big whoppers. Anyone not having the knowledge of using peroxide, just consult DOROTHY CWYNAR. She knows all about it, at least she oughr to by now. RUSSELL STUMP must think he's Tyrone Power with his sideburns, but in case he's interested it takes more than sideburns to make a man. If it weren't for the rusty water out New Bedford way, KATE FRYE'S hair wouldn't be such a pretty shade of red. JERRY TINDALL has one certain policy he likes to fol- low, I like me, who do you like? If it wasn't for JUNE GORDON'S boyfriend she might make it to school once in a while. ROBERT DOYLE might be quiet most of the time, but occasionally his corny jokes and tricks get ahead of him. If BARBARA CAPITOLA would study history as much as she talks, she'd be the brain of the class. BOB CLAYTON'S favorite past-time seems to be riding around in a Ford flirting with the girls from Ne-Ca-Hi. Union girls aren't good enough, so he thinks. If it weren'f forAuthenreith's 5 10, PATTY BENKOSKY wouldn't know anv boys at all that she could fill some- one else's ears with. Remember the time DON HEASLEY crashed the gym class? As a penalty he had to take gym with the girls. He didn't seem to mind a bit. Just ask him. JANICE BAUGHMAN is eating the wrong kind of foods. Doesn't she know about Ovaltine and Wheafies? DONNA MONN is collecting pots for her hope chest. RUSSELL BROWN is one of them. But she has one special name for him as far as pots are concerned. One day in shorthand class PAT RYHAL told us about a trip she took to Niagara. No one likes to see the falls alone so she took her boyfriend. She never did see the falls. No wonder MARY HEASLEY has such pretty white teeth. The way she chews her gum would keep anybody's teeth sparkling. Or does she use Ajax toothpaste? If ALICE VANATTEN is the angel of quietness she ap- pears to be, then Gabriel move over. ELIZABETH LANGIOTTI sure put the announcement company in the bucks. That's ok Liz. Not all of us con have so many relations. The way SARA JEAN HOUSTON buzzesand flies around the school she could almost pass for a bee. All she needs is the wings. Speaking of wings, she could use a halo too. MARIE SMITH'S turning out to be quite the cook. With the practice she's had on her boyfriend she can now boil water 3 different ways. Even parked with a boiling radiator. STELLA JAWORSKI seems to be awfully good friends with a certain gym teacher. Is it for passing grades or some new boyfriends? 17 ADVISER Miss C.

It was a group full of spirit and good sportsmanship. In this first year we were assigned to rooms 109, 201, and 210, where our advisers were Mr. Patterson, Mrs. Krauss, and Mr. Venturella, respectively. We had no ac- tivities and elected no officers this year. In our sophomore year, we held our first class meeting on September 21, 1951, where we elected Don Smith, president, Russell Stump, vice president, Ethel Goddard, secretary, and Joan Mattocks, treasurer. During this year we sold sweatshirts arid pencils, earning money toward our Senior Year. We also ordered our class rings. On February 13, we held the annual Valentine Dance, where Frannie Carbone reigned as queen. Her attendants were K. Frye, P. McKinley, M. J. Hill, E. Hanna, S. Verenski, and S. Mullen. Our advisers this year were Mrs. Hughes in 203, Mrs. Shields in 204, and Mr. Keil in 207. After spending a pleasant summer, we returned as Juniors, and got right down to business, holding our first class meeting on September 16, 1953, and re-electing Don Smith as president, Russell Stump as vice presi- dent, Martha Jo Hill, secretory, and Ronnie Felger, treasurer. Our advisers were Mr. Roussos in 204, and Miss Rentz in 202. On October 22, we held our Harvest Moon Dance, where Kathleen Frye and Gary Clark reigned as king and queen. Not long after this dance Gary moved away. In February we had a very success- ful magazine campaign with Room 202 winning the contest. The final event of our Junior Year was the extra special prom at the cathedral in honor of the seniors. It was during the summer of this year that our president, Donald Smith, was drafted into the Armed Forces. Yifiere hove the gay, spirited freshmen gone? They have been replaced by a more conservative grown-up group------------Seniors. We storted our senior year by electing Ronnie Felger, president; Russell Stump, vice president; Martha Jo Hill, secretary; and Bob Jones, treasurer. Again we have Mr. Roussos and Miss Rentz as class advisers. °Ul f,!7t b'9 Pr°i®ct was selling Christmas cards, with Mr. Roussos' room selling the most. On December 19 we held our annual Christmas Dance in the auditorium. After semester tests, we found our year rushing away. We ordered our dinks, name cards, and announce- ments; and then found ourselves dancing through our last Jr. Sr. Prom, and on to graduation. This is the end of the history of a group of students, and now you see them scattering through the world facing the future whatever it moy be. 66 KIRK HUTTON CO.
