Class of 1961 CLASS OFFICERS Treasurer Dan Harty Secretary Lynn Trackler Vice President Lance Miller President Bruce Wilson The one hundred and eight members of the class of ,6l look back on their past four years at Upper St. Clair High School with gratitude, look at the present with confidence, and look toward the future with expectancy. 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

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
