CLAIR HIGH SCHOOL The phases o your school lzfe . . . The moments we shared are now just memories. Most of us when reminiscing will recall the outstanding events-the crucial football game, the awards re- ceived, or the big dance. The day by day events ap- pear quite ordinary and insignificant-just another segment of the apparently iixed pattern of life. It is the total of both the outstanding and insignificant events which comprise the best and worst of high school life. From the reverent silence of morning de- votions to the thunderous clatter of locker doors, a student's life is permeated with those experiences which make high school life so valuable. We owe our Alma Mater more than we realize: our experiences help pre- pare us for an adult World, our associates give us hope and encouragement for each difficult need. Through- out the year we discovered new interests-interests which developed latent talents, helped determine our vocations, and moulded our lives. The 1961 Clairvoy- ant has attempted to record not only the outstanding events of the school year, but the deceptively ordinary ones as well. To the individual the yearbook iswhis conclusive recollection of Upper St. Clair and student life. Memories of those days grow dim in his mind, but lie preserved and waiting in the Clairvoyant. 4 Faculty Students Activities Sports Contents Page Page Page Page 6 18 52 72 FACULTY ,., N? l 9 1 ,J Board of Education Joseph McClure, Franklin D.

Streams Supervising Principal The warm, casual smile of Supervising Principal Dr. Carl Streams reflects the personableness which helped to place him in his present position, but does not suggest the weight of his responsibilities as head administrator and chief decision maker of the Upper St. Clair Township Schools. When one considers the rapid development of the community, he realizes that this has been no small task. In the past two years Dr. Streams has been concerned with the construction of new buildings in the school system. Also important among his various duties are curriculum planning and hiring of teachers. Besides performing his normal duties, he serves on the Curriculum Task Force-one of the eight committees commissioned by the Gov- ernor to study Pennsylvaniais education system. Many years of service in the field of education, together with a thorough formal education, makes him well equipped for this duty to the state as well as for his work with Upper St. Clair. 8 n..u.. -snag MM, mt t row ENUM .l George G. Betcher Principal Mr. George G. Betcher was formerly the prin- cipal of Upper St. Clair. Since January, when he was appointed to the newly created position of administrative assistant, Mr. Betcher has been mainly concerned with such duties as the super- vision of the cafeteria, transportation and cus- todial staffs, and the budget. Before his gradua- tion from Slippery Rock State College in 1949, he had served three years in the United States Army Infantry. He began in Upper St. Clair as a physical education teacher for kindergarten through eighth grades. He taught in Cook, Mc- Millan, and Clifton schools, and came to Ft. Couch in 1951. In 1956 he was appointed prin- cipal. His twelve years here have marked rapid advancement in the school system. Secretary Mrs. Bennett and School Board Secretary Mrs. Pringle Donald H. Eichhorn Vice-Principal Mr. Donald Eichhorn, formerly vice-principal of Upper St. Clair, assumed the duties of prin- cipal in January. Our students have been ac- quainted with him since January, 1954, when he came as a substitute teacher directly from Slippery Rock State College. Becoming a full- time teacher a month later, he gained experience in teaching third through ninth grades. The Army relieved him of his teaching duties for two years. Returning to Upper St. Clair, Mr. Eichhorn taught for the next two years before he was ap- pointed vice-principal in 1959. Until 1960 he also served as counselor and part-time teacher. Now, with a masters degree from the University of Pittsburgh, he holds the highest position in our school. Secretaries Mrs. Wester and Mrs. Adams Mrs. Hazel Akers, B.A. English Mrs. Evelyn R.

We are grateful for the friendships that grew from our common experiences, whether it was watching a football game from the hillside, shouting excitedly at a basketball game, or discussing school policy in our homeroom meetings. We cherish the memory for our first green and white float at the football game with Etna on Senior Recognition Day, the memory of the school spirit shown when we played our best basketball game against undefeated Avalon, the memory of our vege- table corsages at the Sadie Hawkins Dance, the memory of decorating the gym in pink and white for the Senior Prom and the effort that was put forth to rebuild the burned champagne glass, the memory of the crazy antics of the candidates running for Student Government of- fices, which culminated in speeches that influenced our decisions, and the memory of our band and majorettes marching on the field and playing our new Alma Mater. We are grateful for the guidance of our teachers who have helped us in analyzing poetry, Hguring square root, conjugating the verb sum, etre, or sein, dissecting 20 Class Emblem COLORS 1 Green and White FLOWER White Rose MOTTO Preserve the past by building the future' HOMEROOM OFFICERS Row I J Selan J Bonwell L Miller L Trackler Row 2 L Miller P Welder M Hamel Row3 J McClure H Burton M Poellot C Miller the lowly frog, and developing the practical skills ta-s-d-f-j-k-l-gl. They helped us not only scholastically, but by setting examples of high character. Our teach- ers were also prominent in our extracurricular activ- ities. Who can ever forget the faculty basketball game and cheerleaders? We are grateful to the administration, who have directed and encouraged our activities, and who have strived to refine our curriculum and expand the physi- cal plant. We are confident in the present because we de- veloped our mental abilities, as many seniors appeared on the newly formed honor roll and many have been accepted to our highest ranking colleges. We developed good sportsmanship, from our victories we felt the exultation of accomplishment, and from our defeats we learned how to cope with our disappointments. We developed new interests by participating in plays, clubs, and sports. Not only did we have our leading ladies, editors, and athletic heroes, but also our walk- ons, reporters, and second-string players. From these past associations and experiences, our present confidence and ability, we look forward to the future with expectancy. 21 CLASS OF 1961 DONNA ANDERSON At typing, Donna's tops we all agree, The best of secretaries she will be.

Bateman R. Fuchs C. Crane These are the heirs apparent of Upper St. Clair High School. With their senior year before them the juniors strove to prepare themselves and to build up an im- pressive record. They learned ionic valences and Sand- burg, quadratics and the date of the War of 1812. They wrote with inspiration, worked with vigor, and usually used the right stairways. Their pride in Upper St. Clair High School was reilected as they turned out full force at all varsity and junior varsity games and helped make Christmas for needy families. They contributed hard-working members to the var- ious squads and committees, to the staffs of St. Clair's publications, and provided a majority of the play cast. Their willingness to work and the lessons they have learned will be beneficial when next year they iind themselves the oldest members of the school, the lead- ers of the other classes. The heirs apparent of 1961 are ready to become the Seniors of 1962. 34 Row I R MCCllHIOCk T Swann D Telegdy A Ymglmg J Blshop H Mlk IHVIC H Morrow Row 2 J Kenna W Glenn L Crawshaw B Leonard E Ruano G Howell B Hall D Greenberg C Crane G Crews B Smlth Row 3 E LeBaron P Crum P Baggerman A Oswald G W1llldmS J Bateman R Fuchs T Newburg, D Obencham E Graef Row I B Love K Elben A Russell B Glaser B Hunter C Whaley K Hauser T Ross Ron 2 I Vrsansky D Wlstar D Boal S Simon L God wm S Wlley B Schnure J Beck T Thomes B Davls Ron 3 S Gam b1ll M Davls G Mmclla K Luxbacher M Redhead B Poellot O OW L Ives R Pascoe Row I: F.

Homeroom Officers Class of 1963 When that familiar bell rang signaling the start of another school year, 118 sophomores joined the ranks of Upper St. Clair Senior High School. During this year, we assumed greater responsibilities than we had ever known, and we came to a fuller realization of the great opportunity offered us in education at Upper St. Clair. We did our best to have our class represented in all phases of school life. Academically, we placed many members on the honor roll. We had participants in every sport: football, basketball, baseball, track, and golf. There were sophomores in almost every club and activity group of the school. We were proving ourselves worthy of Upper St. Clair. We are looking forward to the new experiences and responsibilities we will meet in the years ahead. We are proud of attending Upper St. Clair, and we hope to make it proud of us, the Class of 1963. 37 Row I: R. Livengood, N. Bryant, P. Smee, F. Dublin, B. Kerry, D. Winters, R. Cox, R. Gualuzzi, N.

Homeroom Oyjicers Xl, Class of 1964 In many ways the freshman year is one of the most vital of our lives. Each one of us has a goal which he wishes to attain some time in his life. The hrst year of high school lays the foundation in the form of basic knowledge and disciplined habits for growth toward this goal. That we are freshmen in Upper St. Clair High School means that we have matured enough to assume the responsibility of preparing ourselves for a higher education and our vocation. In years to come we shall think back on our fun- lilled days at Upper St. Clair with feelings of pride, but sadness that these years are past. Let us hope that in the future other freshman classes will carry on the tra- ditions of Upper St. Clair High School, our Alma Mater. 40 9-1 Row 1: R. Fekete, S. Wilson, M. Purvance, S. Youngblood, T.

The student body has been constantly aware of our hard- working staff through such representatives as Dick Boy with a Camera Greenberg, and Chester Phillips, our sports writer. Those of you who find your face cropped from some picture can thank the eagle eye of Editor June Selan and assistant Linda Person. Becky Breen, who served most ably as our copy editor. We have, of course, enjoyed bringing this year's Clair- voyant to you and hope you will enjoy reading it for years to come. Row I: K. Mazza, D. Henry, J. Oswick. Row 2: P. Neff, J. Cancilla, D.

These words, spo- ken frequently by President Ray Cona- way, were a postlude to many pieces of legislation adopted to improve our school. The objective of Student Council is to promote good will between the students and the administration. This purpose was made evident in its unceasing efforts to satisfy the needs of the students. Symbolic of democracy in action, Stu- dent Council consisted of representatives from each homeroom in addition to homeroom presidents from each class. It's members met weekly under the guid- ance of Mr. Eichhorn, the administrative adviser. With minds open to all propositions, the Student Council, melting pot of ideas, strove for the betterment of our school, and their endeavors were not in vain. 56 Activities Club , . X 7 W. N...

In order to encourage among the students an interest in teaching as a possible career, a Future Teachers of America Club was organized under the guidance of Miss Dorothy Harpster. During the past year Mr. George Murdoch, the schoolas guidance counselor, also became one of the spon- sors. The goal of the club is to acquaint members with various aspects of the teaching profession. During the weekly meetings the club members see movies about teaching, hear guest speakers, have debates, and discuss their future careers. The club sent representatives to the F.T.A. Con- vention in Harrisburg, sponsored an annual square dance, and provided opportunity for its members to observe class procedures. During National Edu- cation Week the students held an afternoon tea for all faculty members. The 1960-61 officers of F.T.A. were President -Cherie Miller, Vice-President-Jane McClure, and Secretary-Nickie Blaker. 58 Debate President Richard Greenberg Secretary Linda Person Business Manager Nancy Buc Row 1: E.

Future Nurses of America Would 1 like to be a nurse? Many students ask themselves this question, which The Future Nurses of America attempts to answer by pro- viding a means for exploring various health pro- fessions. Guided by Mrs. Victoria Yurchey, our chapter this year presented programs including films, a trip to a school of nursing, discussions, and speakers from various medical professions. In its hrst full season the Upper St. Clair High School Debate Club fared well. About a year and a half of arguing and debating has qualified it for an affiliate membership in the National Forensic League of America and it is now in line for a full charter. Despite its youth the club compares favorably with the more experienced clubs in the district and has fourteen members and degrees. Row 1: R. Doran, J. Pugne, S. Mitchell, O. Ow, J. Oswick, M. Davis.

The same motives that prompted the organization of er ay ey e a intramural sports for boys brought about the creation of the Girls' Athletic Association. Through the dedi- cation of its sponsor, Mrs. Carolyn Grant, and its presi- dent, Dorothy Youngblood, this group has been able to find a sport for every girl and a girl for every sport. Some of the strenuous sports in which this group en- gages are ping-pong, shullleboard, basketball Cgirls, rules, of coursej and tennis. The values of cooperation and good sportsmanship are firmly ingrained in the members. Among the club's other activities was the sponsorship of a dance, the proceeds of which were used to provide awards for deserving seniors. , 60 Cheerleaders Varsity T. Boss, C. Ross, J. McClure, C.

Their enthusiasm and evident faith in their teams were all unior Varsity that was necessary for a finished performance. To these girls, cheerleading is an art, each motion a well- rehearsed phase of a big production. Much of the success of the squads can be attributed to the efforts of their captains-Carol Fischer, Carole Williamson, and Barbara Jones. junior High Row I: D. Kelly, B. Jones, P. Lack. Row 2: N.

Dramatics Recent dramatic productions of our school have been of various types. The Spring, 1960, production, The Remarkable Incident at Car- s0n's Corner, was a mystery starring Jackie Mar- tin, Lance Miller, and Chester Phillips. In the fall of 1960 the comedy T ime-Out for Ginger, starring Mary Dacey, John Streams, and Donna Tindall, was produced. The most recent play was a Tennessee Williams drama, The Glass Menagerie, starring Betsy Hall, Jackie Martin, John Streams, and Bruce Wilson. These plays were presented by members from the student body and directed by Miss Dietz and Mrs. Reeves. 1961 Senior Prom Misty, gay, pink and pretty-such was the mood so beautifully cast at the Senior Prom- June, 1960. Fulfilling the theme, 'gPink Cham- pagne, was a soft, pink champagne glass filled to overflowing with innumerable balloons. Each detail, from the pink mirage surrounding the dance floor to the delicate cakes and tangy punch served by candle light on the Adjoining Ve- randa, contributed to the memorableness of the evening. At one o'clock, however, the mood changed. The formerly polished ladies and gen- tlemen dashed home to change and return for all night bowling and entertainment at Lebanon Lanes. All and all, it proved to be an exciting evening and morning not soon to be forgotten. ii w....s '- M X TSM- 5 .. Row I: K. Hanushek, L. Kowacz, S. McElroy, L. Kowacz, J. Chapman, B. Warwick, L.

A student can sing his way from the first year chorus to the Triple Trio. Miss LaValley has worked out a system of steps for the Upper St. Clair vocalists to climb. The first step in a student's vocal career is first year chorus foddly enoughl, which this year consisted of fifty-nine members. Despite the fact that this was the seventh grade chorus, first year together, they successfully performed a Thanksgiving program. From here the choristers move on to the eighth grade chorus where the maturing male voices add a deeper tone to thc group's arrangements. In this step the chorus does basic productions including this year's highly successful Spring Concert. The third step in this stairway of sound is the Senior High Chorus. This group consists of both the old hands and the greenhorns of the singing society in the ninth through twelfth grades. The aim of the Senior High Chorus is to develop an A Cappella choir. The top of the terrace is the nine select girls who sing in the extracurricular Triple Trio. This group is always in demand for public performances. The chorus has expanded from fifteen members six years ago to today's nearly two hundred vocalists, showing itself to be not only a large group, but a fast growing one as well. 64 Eight Grade Chorus Row I: D.

The year 1960-61 was one of iirsts for the Upper St. Clair music department under the di- rection of Mr. Angelo Ruzzine the band, or- chestra, and majorettes all took important steps forward. The band, as well as entertaining the student body with a Christmas program and producing its annual spring concert, set a new tradition on the football field. Neither rain, nor heat, nor Orchestra hail, nor snow could keep our marching band from appearing at all but one game during the football season. That each show was completely original possibly surprised some of the students, but anyone who stopped at school during the weeks before it opened saw how this was pos- sible. As soon as the football team left, the band took its place and practiced diligently for the season which lay ahead. When that season came, Row 1: R. Mitchell, J. Hoenshell, H. Kreps, K. Hauser, A.

Avonworth Neville Millvale Etna Bill Obenchain, fullback Chester Phillips, manager The 1960 Football Team was proud to find itself in possession of our school's first winning season. This is no small accomplishment for a school which has been in varsity competition for only two years. Our first game was a night game with Avalon. Paul Welder, senior halfback, scored twice on long runs. Avalon scored twice in the second half, but a blocked extra point saved the game. Upper St. Clair was vic- torious 14-13. The iirst home game was with Bellevue. This time St. Clair was turned back 26-7. The defeat was caused by mistakes and injuries, including two brain concus- sions. Because of the large number of injuries, the team lost to Snowden the next week, 21-0. East Washington came to Upper St. Clair the next Friday. It was raining, but that didn't hold St. Clair back. The team came from behind to win-21-12. The next game, with Avonworth, was the high point of our season. We led the entire game, until they scored a desperate last minute touchdown which tied the game 7-7. The following week St. Clair played at Neville. A fired up Neville team beat us 26-7. The Millvale game was a special occasion for the football team. That Friday was Mr. Merritt's birth- day. Millvale was easily defeated 43-7, and when the team arrived home, they threw a surprise party for Mr. Merritt. The team had an even record going into the last game with Etna. It was a hard fought contest, but St. Clair was victorious 14-7. The team's record was 4- 3-1. - X f f , , ..-WM Q ,, . :E A., N55 N?

TQ eeee '1,'1 'LAL V Dan Harty The 1961 record of the Upper St. Clair bas- ketball team showed a marked improvement over the previous year. The Varsity, coached by Mr. Christ, ended with a 14-8 record, ranking third in our section. Mr. Norton coached the Junior Varsity, which ended with a 21-1 record, marred only by a pre-season loss to Fort Cherry. Mr. Christ's task was diflicult, since he lost the entire first-string team of last year. The squad was built around Bill Zondorak, Kent Johnson, Dave Welder, Dave Minor, and Paul Welder. This group, well-supported from the bench, car- ried the banner for U.S.C. Our happiest mo- ment was defeating Avonworth, and our saddest, the 55-56 loss to Avalon. The prospects for next year are bright since there are many potentially good players as well as four returning letter-men. Cx gf K ps , Dave Minor .
