Your Staff Presents The 195 TIGER TIGER OF 'JtcueteeH ROBERTSDALE HIGH SCHOOL Robertsdale, Pennsylvania VOLUME EIGHTEEN A builder builded a temple. He wrought it with grace and skill; Pillars and groins and arches All fashioned to work his will. Men said as they saw its beauty, “It shall never know decay. Great is thy skill. O builder; Thy fame shall endure for aye. A teacher builded a temple With loving and infinite care. Planning each arch with patience. Laying each stone with prayer. None praised her unceasing efforts One knew of her wondrous plan. For the temple the teacher builded Was unseen by the eyes of men. Gone is the builder's temple. Crumpled into the dust; Low lies each stately pillar. Food for consuming rust. But the temple the teacher builded Will last while the ages roll. For that beautiful unseen temple Is a child's immortal soul. It is with humble admiration and appreciation that wc dedicate this, the 1958 “TIGER , to one who has been a con- stant source of encouragement to all his students— MR. H. DON BROCHT ©WW U Sdcccatum Henry They.'. President. James Park. Vice-President. John Gannon. Secretary-treasurer, Robert Davis, and Irvin Croft. Dear Seniors, Throughout the ages men’s lives have been influenced chiefly by the knowl- edge gained front man’s endless conquest to seek and to learn. During the past few years it has been the privilege of your teachers to share today’s knowledge in your preparation for tomorrow. It is the wish of the members of your Board of Education that the knowl- edge which you have gained from your studies, activities, and associations shall make you strong for the challenges which lie ahead in your life—a life that demands personal responsibilities to home, community, and country. May success be yours, especially that rare success which comes from the wisdom of understanding one’s self. HARRY THEYS, President Supervising Principal To the Class of 1958: Seniors, you are the citizens of tomorrow. The potentiality which you represent cannot be estimated. There has never been a time in world history when men and women of all nations, colors, creeds and religions had more need to reason together. Tomorrow’s citizens must use their intelligence and the resources at hand so that all the world's people can enjoy a life of abundance and make this plenty a pattern for peace. You are at a point in man’s travels where it can be clearly seen that un- less ways arc found to stay the hands of those who might make pushbutton wars, we will have no plenty and no world. HARRY H. ALCORN. Supervising Principal Principal Dear Seniors, The democratic philosophy of life must be maintained at all costs. The “political pressure conversions” of the Soviet Union make us shudder at their magnitude and the possibility of a disentegration of our free society. This cannot be; it must not happen! it must be prevented by the freedom loving peoples of the world, no matter what the costs, means, or sacrifices. You, the members of this graduating class, together with others of your gen- eration. must hold sacred and inviolate the unsurpassable heritage that posterity has bequeathed you. Our forefathers' sacrifices of life. limb, and fortune, and your sacrifices must be the foundation upon which our nation shall be the citadel among the free nations of the world. Never allow any of your inalienable rights to be taken from you, and defend “to the bitter end the God-given rights of other peoples. The next score of years will be a critical period in our history. Guard our principles, our freedoms, our loyalties, and our sacred honor above all your ma- terial endeavors, and I am sure a brighter, fuller, finer, and more democratic society will people the earth. This is your challenge; accept it. Remember: “It is better to die on your feet than live on your knees; thus, “Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.” O. W. TROY, Principal Elementary Supervisor Dear Graduates, I wish it were possible to speak to you individually. As this is impossible, I will communicate with you by eye. It is true that vision, courage, and creativity are characteristics which only you the youth of our country have in abundance. It falls to you to seek out the new. build new bonds of understanding between nations, and produce a peaceful world in which you may live. Yes, I hear you remark, I can't do very much about all this. I am only one. It is no accident that the great creative ideas of the world come from young minds. Studies show that men of science reached their zenith in their younger years. This is an exciting time to be alive. Put your best efforts forward in the direction for good for all, and you may be surprised what God hath wrought. You have your niche in society to fill. Do it nobly. WARD S. TAYLOR, Elementary Supervisor ANN E.

For the juniors, sophomores, and freshmen, a summer vacation and more school days remain; for us seniors there is something else—the challenge of mak- ing a place for ourselves in a new and different type of surroundings. Let us, for a moment, look back—back on this past school year with all its memorable moments. As sophomores we remember the mixed feelings we had as we entered into our second year of high school. It wasn’t entirely a new experience for us as we moved forward, learning the ropes, gaining confidence, and making friends. Wc remember the struggles we had with our studies and the pride we felt as wc played with our school band and participated in the various sports contests. For the sophomores it was an exciting year. As juniors we remember the confidence we felt, knowing that wc were old hands at this learning business. We mastered our physics and American history and turned to thoughts of dances, games, and fun. Next year wc would be seniors! For the juniors it was a confident year. As seniors we remember the strange feeling we had when wc realized that this was our last year at Robcrtsdale High School. There were so many things— the noisy crowds at the basketball and football games, the thrill of winning and the disappointment of losing, the challenge of learning and the realization that there is so much left to learn—the excitement of the trip, the prom, and graduation— all of these and so many more—our moments to remember. For the students who have traveled this way, for the faculty who guided their path, and for our parents and friends, the TIGER staff has tried to capture in these pages the glimmer of our memorable moments at Robcrtsdale High School. We want you to share these memories with us.

The industrial arts department gives boys an opportunity to combine mental and manual abilities, thus enabling them to express themselves and encouraging them to undertake various projects which utilize their time to advantage. Under the supervision of Mr. Thomas Black, instructor, many of these boys arc working on advanced projects which include cabinets, chests, and tables. Stu- dents are also taught fundamentals in mechanical drawing, electricity, and blue- print reading. Senior industrial arts students work on projects. . . . We Learn By Doing Seniors working on advanced projects which they selected under the super- vision of their instructor. Mr. Black demonstrating the use of various equip- ment. Safety measures in th.2 uso of different ma- chines is stressed at all times. ■MB Others Learned that Business Makes the World Go Round Students who expect to enter the field of business take advantage of the cour- ses offered by our business education department which is one of the best-equipped in the area. In addition to acquiring experience in typ- ing and a background in stenography and bookkeep- ing, the students are taught the use of the latest equip- ment found in the modern offices of today. Mr. kolva shown here as he explains to his bookkeeping class the principles of the work sheet. Daily persistance makes for efficiency in typing classes. THE ATOM SMASHERS Have the sputniks and the talk of outer space jolted the spirit of these students into learning more about science? To increase one's knowledge of sci- ence, to study the achievements of scien- tists, and to understand and appreciate the importance of chemistry in our daily lives are the aims of these students. Any senior with an average or better ability, a healthy curiosity in the world about him. and an urge to learn through scientific experiments and projects will find science classes very exciting. They come up with something in this experiment, but they don’t know what it is! Learning A Lout Plants ana Animals Biology instructor. Mr. Wible, is shown in one of his biology classes as he explains the phyla of the earth- worm which is one of the ten phylac of animals. Studying and taking care of plants, dissecting cats and other animals, and collecting and study- ing insects are a few of the things which students of biology do in order to gain a further knowl- edge. Marlin Williams and Isabel Covert examine species of insects. Veronica Black and Axel Horton ex- amine parts of cat which has been dissected for the purposes of closer examination of the anatomy. Students always find this part of the course very interesting, since from the study of this animal more is learned about the work of the human system.

We'll allow you to judge for yourselves, hut we will tell you that he has served as president of his class for four years, and during these years he has proved himself a reliable and qualified leader. Not less outstanding is our vice-president. Ronald Eichcl- berger. who served in that ca- pacity for three years. Known for his prowess in athletics, Ron excels in other fields too —politician, class leader, or all- round good guy—just name it. and Ron’s it. Our treasurer last year, our secretary this year, a member of the band, chorus, and Girls’ Ensemble highlight Peggy Blasko's list of school activities. As a participant in many of the school's organizations. Peggy has won the admiration and respect of faculty and students. To handle our finance we elected depend- able Juliet Gambacurta our class treasurer: how she kept after us for those class dues! Juliet was one of three seniors who had the determi- nation to stay with the basketball team. OUR LEAVERS i A editor of our annual we elected Orvis Wagner, whose role as “Granddad” would have won him an Oscar had he been nominated. Orvis can sing. Orvis can dance. Orvis can play a guitar, and Orvis can hluff too. Our TIGER business editor. Eunice Cook, can look back on four years profitably spent at R.H.S. In ad- dition to maintaining a high scholastic average. Eunice was engaged in numerous school activities including hand and dramatics. In all our class projects Eunice's contribution helped make them successful. To help Orvis with our yearbook we gave him Ellis Griffith who was always successful in putting to work his plans. Ellis love of hard work made him a genuine student both in scholastic and extra-curricular activities. Carolyn Spencer served as our assistant business man- ager. and a fine job she did. Carolyn always believes that if a job is worth doing at all. it s worth doing well, and all hers she did well. We shall always remember Carolyn for her friendliness and initiative.

T fi The Tri-Hi-Y Club is associated with and sponsored by The Young Women’s Christian As- sociation. Consisting of approximately fifteen girls from the sophomore, junior, and senior classes and under the supervision of Miss Hazel Angle, the club meets weekly to carry out its well-rounded program. The aim of this club is to create, maintain, and extend throughout the community, school, and home higher standards of Christian living and character. An important phase of its work is the study of “Teen-Talk” which deals with problems facing the young adults of today. Worthwhile and helpful discussions result from this program. The club’s calendar had been rather crowded, for its participation in various activities has been extensive. As a world service activity the Tri- Hi-Y sponsored a clothing drive conducted under the auspices of Save the Children Federation . • ■ The girls collected more than one hundred pounds [I of clothing and sent it to the federation which J in turn forwarded it to distressed and war-torn areas throughout the world. Another of the club's activities includes send- ing messages of cheer to those of the area who are hospitalized. For Christmas the girls made and presented holiday corsages to their mothers, teachers, and teachers' wives. Members include Julia Banco, Sandra Cook, Helen Crotslcy, Carole Meek, Minnie Ncudcr, Susan Trout, Darla Hollingshead, Betty Brum- baugh, Mary Jane Carowick, Barbara Hess, Dar- lene Smith, Irene Yankanish. and advisor.

Composed of Alfred Scellini and Jack MeKeta, accordionists, Roy Black, drummer, and Orvis Wagner, guitarist and vo- calist. these boys are much in demand both for school and civic social functions. No, Orvis isn’t in pain—he’s just rendering the lyrics to one of those “rock and roll” numbers. Scenes from the Football Banquet Our Highstepping Majorette, Patricia Snyder We'll Have These Moments To Contributing to the success of our fine band are these twelve seniors.

Our March When it comes to a marching band, whether in parades or at football games, the Robertsdalc High School band, under the direction of Mr. Don Brocht, always comes out on top! This year's band, attired in attractively stylish new maroon and white uniforms, played and furnished music at all football rallies and games. The group was honored with an invitation from Juniata College to play at one of its football games. As these young musicians dazzled the spectators with their fancy strutting, from the grandstands could be heard many complimentary remarks. The band also participated in a number of Halloween parades where it won several prizes for its colorful formations and lively tunes. The band's good work didn't just “happen”; plenty of skillful planning and long hard work were behind each show. Just as football coaches drill their players, so does Mr. Brocht drill his bandsmen. With the close of football season the band con- centrates on concert music. The group presents an annual spring concert in addition to the com- mencement night concert, both of which are en- thusiastically received. Outstanding instrumen- talists have an opportunity to participate in county and district band festivals. Students reach the pinnacle of musical success in high school when they earn an opportunity to participate in the all- state band event. Several of our bandsmen have attained this recognition during the past several years. Band Notables Inez Clark, who serves as student conductor, plays the baritone. A member of the ban.; for four years. Inez has attended four county band festivals, and this year she had the op- portunity of attending the district band meet. Band Officers: Ted Diehl, president.

We All Had A Grand l ime Director Of Athletics Physical fitness is a prerequisite to survival in any civilization. In this present age of possible space travel and total destructive forces it is all the mote important that the physical being be conditioned to survive the rigorous demands which it will encounter. It is my belief that physical education classes, although fine, will not suffice in physical preparation. The participants in interscholastic athletics will be much better prepared for the type of exertion and endurance this age will demand. 1 am sure that boys or girls who have participated in our athletics program while attending our high school may consider themselves fortunate for the fine physical training they have received; but this training does not end with graduation. To you. the members of the Class of 1958, may I say, continue caring for your bodies through self-guided exercises, and when nature calls for that extra fuel for survival, you will not be left “at the gate. Best wishes for your success! O. W. Troy Athletics Director Contemplating the next move for our gridiron squad is one of the football coaching staff's big- gest tasks. Many games can be won or lost by the coaches' spotting flaws in defense, opponent’s weaknesses etc. Here head coach Forst discusses the situation with assistants Hastings and Stholer. Football Opened The 1957 Last September Coach Charles Forst and his assistants, William Hastings and Richard Slholer, were confronted with the difficult task of shaping a win- ning eleven from what remained of a team following heavy losses through gradu- ation. After hours of long hard practice and the usual amount of revamping and shifting to find some kind of working combination, a Tiger Eleven, led by Captains Roy Black and Ronald Eichelbcrgcr. was molded to start a season which posed a rather strenuous schedule. Although the record was not impressive from a win-loss standpoint, the fine spirit of good sportsmanship and cooperation was latent in every player as he struggled through to the final whistle. We all agree that the experience these boys shared in their participation will make them finer men. for the aim of a team is not merely to win every game, but to teach teamwork, build character, and to put the participant in good physical condition. Through their persevei- ancc and participation these athletes have been made more fully aware that the game of football and the game of life are similar—in both they must learn to take the bitter with the sweet, the defeat with the victory. This game of football, then, merely prepares them for that bigger job of space-age living. 1958 Sports Season Seniors: Ted Diehl. Roy Black. Ronald Eichelberger, Frank Neville.

JUNIOR VARSITY Lacking experience, as well as size, the junior varsity Tigers bowed three times to strong Roaring Spring, Everett, and Northern Bedford teams. Although they lacked scoring power, improvement evident in these boys during the season was encouraging to coaches and fans looking forward to next year's teams. If you have enjoyed recalling the thrills and refreshing your memories with highlights of our teams’ activities, credit goes to Robert Everhart and Ronald Eichelbcrger, whose tireless efforts have been responsible for compiling these sports statistics. Both Bob and Ron have been active in the school's athletics program. We held on to the Buckskin! Frank Neville, veteran football player, proudly points to that most coveted of all awards, the “ole buckskin, as two of his teammates look on. Playing an unequalled brand of football against their old rival, the Saxton Wildcats, the Tigers were able to retain possession of the buckskin for the sixth consecutive year by holding the oppon- ents to a scoreless tie. We Helped! Sporting their award jackets, these hoys made up the nucleus of our football team.

Miss Angle, the Ti- gerettes played ten contests this season: the team lacked height which accounted to some extent for its lack of scoring depth. The team, as a whole, was energetic and offered good viewing for on-lookers throughout the basketball season. Through graduation the team will lose the ser- vices of Juliet Gambacurta, forward. Carolyn Spencer and Marion Clark, guards. To support next year's team will be approximately ten girls whose experience should prove competition for opponents. Miss Angle has coached girls bas- ketball at Robertsdale High for ap- proximately fourteen years. Her time and interest in an effort to keep a girls’ team going, though the teams were not always first-class, have been rewarded by the realization that tor the girls who were interested in the sport, the opportunity for participa- tion was afforded them. Marion Clark, Juliet Gambacurta, and Carolyn Spencer were members of the girls' has- ketball team for three years. Having acquired the necessary percentage points, each girl has earned an R” and the 14-K gold miniature basketball pin, the top award which is given on the merit of scholarship and sports participation. To these girls we extend our best wishes and hope that their spirit of perseverance will always be with them in their future under- takings. The girls shown here represent the varsity—Elaine Germaux, Ann Lou Cialone, Barbara Taylor, Diane Clark. Eleanor Lowry, Carolyn Spencer, Marion Clark, Juliet Gambacurta, and Margaret Heath. Other team members include Sara Belle Black, Martha Spencer, Sandra Cook, and Nancy Lazor. Here we have the managers, scorekeepers, time-keepers—well, you name it and these two lassies, Barbara Hess and Frances Huston have been it; and they take their duties seriously too. Next year's team will miss the services of Ted Diehl, Ron Eichelbcrger. and Robert Everhart, but with experienced players such as Gannon. Morgan, May, and Rourkc, plus the roster of substitutes which includes Adams. Black, and Martin, our team next year should show us some real action. Team members included seniors Ted Diehl. Ronald Eichelbcrger, Robert Everhart, juniors Paul Gannon. Charles May, Tarry Morgan, Robert Rourkc. sophomores Jesse Adams. Roy Lee Black, and Don Martin. Coach Font's Cagers Despite the fact that Coach Forst's Tigers were hurt considerably through the loss of all lettermen due to graduation, they still completed a rather success- ful season with the final slate showing a record of nine wins and nine losses.

It must be good when it meets with Gannon's approval! No time for conversation here. And they saw to it that R. H. S. remained clean and neat. No TIGER would be complete without some recognition to our custodian, John Everhart, and his assistant, John Guiness. Mr. Everhart, better known as “Speedy” to his friends, could make the rounds of the building blind-folded, and he'd never get lost—do you know why? He’s been the custodian here since the building first opened its doors way back in 1935. Although Mr. Guiness has not been with us too long, “Dutch as he is known to the students, helps us along with his hearty laughter. Dear Patrons, The 1958 edition of the TIGER is one of our final achievements as a class. This accomplishment has been made possible through the genuine interest shown by you when you were contacted for a financial contribution. Not only does your generosity make our goal a realization, but it gives us the assurance that you have faith in us as being more than just teen-agers all wrapped up in rock and roll. It gives us the assurance that you believe in us. In behalf of our advisor. Miss Marcocci, and our staff, I extend to you our good wishes for your continued success.
