We, the class of 1944, dedicate this edition of the Maroon and White to our former basketball coach, Gilbert Rutter, who is now serving his country as a member of the United States- Navy. We wish to express our sincere gratitude and appreciation to him for his patience, understanding and ability, not only as a coach but as a teacher, advisor and friend. We wish him lots of luck in the Navy and hope he will soon be back on the faculty of Youngwood High School. 1 . Alma Mater Here as the evening shades are falling, And gone is every care of day, We gather and the campus echos With laughs and shouts of students gay. Thy sons, well guarded from all sorrow, Stand firmly 'neath the evening sky, Forget the care that comes tomorrow, And praise old Youngwood High. II But High School friendships all must sever,' And fade as does the dying day, And closest kinship shall mbe broken, As out in life we wend our wayg And yet whatever -be life's fortunes, Though memory fail and friends be few, Dear Youngwood High, our Alma Mater, We will always love you.

S ' OFFICERS ' ' f I JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY 'iUijon 'eritering' our Freshman year in high-school, we were the proverbial green Freshies, but during that hectic year of study and social activitr, we 'won many friends and gained much prestige. Our Sophomore year was not quite so satisfying as the previous one--due to the absence off the Class of 42 , but, nevertheless, we succeeded ' in becoming prominent members of old Youngwood High. Although our first two years -within the fwalls of our beloved school have proven successful, this, our Junior Near, has been the real proving .ground for our many talents. The number of our class was greatly increased by the enthusiastic members from New Stanton. At the beginning of the year, our class contrifbuted the most 'prominent footlball players of the team, namely, Henri' Hart, George Blanda, Merle Long, Dave Hepler, Chu-ck Sullivan and Eddy Robertson. Of course, we may be a bit fprejudiced, 'but its quite evident that our class members have proved them- selves worthy of recognition. President .................

JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY Not only have many of our class members become distinguished football stars, but we mai' also iboast of our basketball players- especially George Blanda, who 'was the first Youngwoold player ever to receive the honor of ,being selected most valuable player, also, Gerald Mertz and Chuck Sullivan are two of our most promising stars from New Stanton. The other p1aYers on the team are Henry Hart, Merle Long, Dave Hepler. and Louise Acite, U In preparation for our annual prom, the class presented the successful play. They Did Away With Uncle. Among the memories -we will cherish are: Chuck Sullivan in a sarong. Gerald Mertz's casanova habits. Jimmie Clapper's worry over the financial stand- ing of the class. Wilda Fox's winning smile. George Blanda's pride in his powerful build. Elaine Baker's habit of always having her Book- keeping done???

They donated our share of football stars--Milton Brdar, James Oravetz, Steve Karas, Georlge Heskey, and many others. Three of their class were members of the fbasket- ball varsity, and these boys, Milton and George Brdar and Jimmie Moore did their share to help Young- wood win the 1944 championship. The team's efficient manager, Bob Morgan, is also an esteemed me-mlber of this class. Will we ever forget Richard Steiner and Grace Overholt as the vparson and his wife in the highly successful Sophomore assembly? And remember Betty Haley as the 'iblushing bride and Frances Cordial as the village beauty.

Grace Overholt's giggle. Alice Eichner's waistline. Frances Cordia1's corny Jokes. Norma Buskey's line of chatter. Bob Morgan's futile attempts to be dignified. George HeskeN's way with women .

OFFICERS p FRESHMAN CLASS The Freshies entered Youngwood High School through the usual portals. They were properly painted and 'paddled and the upper class-men did their befl t make them feel definitely inferior. However, thc'-' proved themselves worthy and have many accont- plishments to their credit. The boys have taken their part in athletics and many of them show great promise. While not many :were big enough for football this Year, they outdid themselves on the basketball courts. Few of us will forget Bob Storey's long shot at West Newton, or little Paul Wagner-'s tricky man- euvers. We hope next year to see these 'boys on the varsity, along with Merle Henderson, Derby Wing- field and many others. And the girls at least will long remember Jimmie Henderson under the mistletoe at the Junior Dance! How could we forget! President .................. Paul Wagner Secretary .... . . .

Many off them belong to the Home-Ec Club and have often made our mouths water with those delicious odors of food. The Freshman assembly was a big success, thor- oulghly enjoyed by all. It was unique--the only darkie show orf the whole Year. Eddie Carlson is undoulbtedly the fblondest negro for miles around. The Freshman dance resulted favorably also. The gym was tastefully decorated with spring 'blossoms and memos were in the form of tulips. The upperclassmen wish to commend the freshmen class of 44 not only for -their individual achieve- ments, but for their su-pport of the other class activit- ies and of the school in general. The girls have fbeen active in the glee club and the class is well represent- ed in the school band. The Freshies, 'being rather lively, have given the teachers a few gray hairs, nevertheless, we predict a great future for them in Younglwood High School befause they have what it takes--plenty of school sp rit.

BASKETBALL CLASS B CHAMPIQNS In the 1943 - 1944 basketball season, Youmgwood High, by the expert coaching of Mr. Rutter and by the skillful playing of the squad, won the Class B Basketball Championship for the first time in 18 years. The boys on the team are to be commended for their very fine sportsmanship throughout the season. The squad received much backing and encouragement from a great number of fans. A large cheering section supported all their thrilling games. C295 302 Youngwood won 15 out of 18 in the W. P. I. A. L. Conference. The most interesting of these games was the West Newton contest played on the home floor January 18, 1944. Throughout the game the score was close, and the fans as well as the .players were on their toes till the whistle blew with Youngnwood leaaing as to 20. ' ' In the County Tournament, victories over Avonmore. Mount Pleasant, Sewickley and North Belle Vernon, gave us the Class B trophy and also a plaque. George Blanda was voted the most valuable Class B player, and he also had the highest number of points for the season, 316.

HIGH SCHGOL BAND Since the death of our beloved band director, Mr. Taylor, the 'band has had its many ups and downs. But with the coming of our new director, Mr. Boyer, the band is definitely on the way ulp once more. The iband memfbership has greatly decreased since so many of our boys have gone into the service. The new underclassmen 'who have joined this organization filled in the vacancies of their predecessors. , A very successful concert was presented this spring, which proved the 'band - to be a worthy organization. wa r James Clapper, Doris Sams, Mary Ruth Sillaman, James Moore. CHEERLEADERS C411 5 42 iii' SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Oh, look I the circus is in townq ' ' ' ' Oh, I beg your pardon. It's only the Freshmen coming up the walk. I Wonder if that paint will ever come off. ' Thus did the doors of Youngwood High School swing open to a small but determined group of Freshmen. Although we were considered a very insignificant part of the school, we possessed the abi- lity to tackle each task assigned to us with a remarkable amount of zest and enthusiasm which won for us the coveted admiration of our upper class men and our teachers. Our Freshmen party and Assembly were very ably organized by our class president, Bernard Delserone and his appointed committee's. The climax of the year was our Starlite Dance, which proved that we could really make plans for a large affair and carry them through to the last detail. Our hopes for a successful high school career were high. ' We entered our second year of school with a more thorough knowledge of high school routine, thus enabling us to lose that shyness which predominated. Our oflicers performed their duties well. The main event of this year was our dance. We will always remember this year because of December 7. Little did. We 1:eiliZ8 how much a part it would play in our future lives. Our Junior year was a continual round of activities. K up I The Officers, headed by Leonard Perrquet, had quite a job on theirhands. Early in the year we selected our class rings. Our next activity was to have a really suc- cessful Christmas dance with Santa Claus and all the trimmings. ' ' Our next concern was money. This we had to have. The class presented the annual Junior Class Play, entitled, An American is Born. The members of the class who were dramatically inclined had a chance to do their stuff , The fin- ancially minded one's had a chance to count the dollars as they rolled in. The money we earned from our play, enabled us to banquet the Senior Class. This banquet was held at the Penn Al- bert Hotel in Greensburg, and was enjoyed by all. This completed our third year of high school. i Seniors, at last. The success of this year is given to Paul Bizub, the President and his co- oflicers who worked tirelessly to accomplish the many tasks which confonted them. The Senior Barn Dance was a different type of dance than had previously' been held and went over with a bang. The Christmas assembly met with the approval of the entire student body also. , The dramatic ability of our class was again proven when we presented the play, Don't Keep Him Waiting. It was also a success from a financial point of view. Throughout the entire year, the staff of the yearbook worked hard to make it the best we've ever had. C e Aswe come to the end of a happy four years of high school life, we pause to pay tribute to a beloved classmate, Harry Overholt, who is no longer with us. Also, to the boys of ,our class who are serving in the armed forces of our country, so that the future generations may enjoy the same kind of happy days we are now bringing to a close.

Witnesses: Miss Sleighter Attorneysr Barbara Kunkle A J W Mrs. Miller Gail Carroll h 4453, - CLASS PROPHEC Y 1944 sees another group of seniors leave the rather sheltered life of high school to take their places in the complex and hurried modern world of today. Each individual has his own hopes, dreams and ambitions and each wonders over what the dubious future might hold for him. Let's read on and we will see what Madame Zu Zu, the Gypsy fortune teller finds as she gazes into her crystal ball. . ' Crystal ball what apparition can you send forth, what knowledge of the future can you reveal concerning the lives of these youthful seniors. Ah! Slowly the mist clears and I see a host- of marching men representing millions of brave Americans who have returned from the war. Of these I recognize Keith Stoner and Len Perru- quette of the Navy, Francis Beatty of the Army, Merle Ober of the Marines, and Thomas Flicky of the Air Corps, who offered their services to their country in the time of crisis. I also see that each has attained a prominent place in his resp ective branch of the service. Everyone is glad that great strife has terminated and that each one has been restored to his former life. Now the color of khaki and blue -begin to fade. . .and yes. . .it's the bright lights of Broadway that flicker in the distance. It's the opening night of a new opera starring Anna Mar- garet Ebner. Across the street I can see a gigantic movie theater. Wait--the letters of the sign are becoming more distinct...yes!! I can read them now. . .Now showing David Ridenour, the great lover, starringuin The Attentive Gentleman? Tell me crystal ball, are there others who have come this way? Truly another vision forms. Faintly I' see a business man. But!! What business!! It's Don Krider, interviewer for Powers Modelsgchatt-ing busily with a group of charming girls. One is Audra Young, the fas- cinating brunette. Well! Who is the dashing blonde who brings a looklof admiration from the interviewer as she strolls in. Could it be Marie Kochis, the cover girl--of course! And with her is Hubert Long, her publicity manager. . . But what comes now? The scene suddenly changes to an office. I see two heads bent, con- centrating on piles of papers. I find by reading the sign on the door that it is Paul Bizub, Robertshaw's Personnel Manager and his assistant, Wesley Baker. The door opens and Kitty Pahel and Melva Lunk enter with arms full of files which they unload on the desks of their respective bosses. Several papers from the top of the pile fall to the floor. The typists initials are JS and HP, Jane Sillaman and Helen Placey, ,who are the head typists. Something seems to be blurring the scenes. . QI justican't quite make it out. But, yes, there they are--wedding bells!! And now two brides appear. . .why it's a double wedding. The brides are Margaret Springer and Dorothy Buzzard. Two others will take this important step soon-- they are Mildred Markle and Ellamae Fidler. 1463 Wait, the scene is returning to an office, but it's another oflice. . .it is the main oflice of the new fashion magazine. At the editor's desk sits Pat Carlson, one of the leading fashion edit- ors, and talking to her is Betty Blockstein, who has become quite famous as a commercial artist. And now a third person joins the group, it's Marjorie Snedden, who is employed by the magazine as a model. On the next desk there is a note signed by Mickey Murray, one of the fashion reporters. She has gone to interview Murneth Martin, who is a buyer for a nearby dress shop. A mist seems to cloud the crystal, not just a plain mist, but one with numerous blending hues. Peering through the cloud, I can discern the images of two chemists. Joe Fisher is work- ing over a formula while Barbara Kunkle is preparing an experiment. Hm! It seems every class must have a few who prefer to travel. Here comes two traveling salesmen down a street in an unknown town. Now let's see. One is Joe Trout, selling encyclope- dias and his friend is Addison Lee, who demonstrates to his feminine admirers, the proper way to apply make up. I see that Joan Riley and Harriet Fetters ha ve accepted government positions in Washing- ton. They should be complimented on their success. - It will not amaze many to find that Bernard Delserone accomplished his ambition, and his receptionist, Nita Buskey, enjoys working for a dentist very much. I wonder what this massive stone building coming into view can be. It seems to be a 'hospit- al. Yes! I see the doctors and nurses in their clean white uniforms. In one room I see several small children talking with their favorite nurse, Laverne Truxel. Further down the hall I notice the head nurse, is sitting at her desk discussing with Betty Leeper, her duties as supervising nurse of the woman's ward. I catch a glimpse of two patients laughing and joking together. They are Ward Harrold, Manager of Harrold's Lumber Company, and Nevin Shoaf, who has established a funeral home near by. As the scene fades I see Dr. Patricia Highberger calling on her patient. My what a change! From a hospital to a summer resort in Florida. Here I find that Gwendolyn Colonna has become the owner of an exclusive hotelg and Betty Reed is the effic- ient switchboard operator in this busy lobby. The scene passes on to a small shop on Fifth Avenue. Betty Harrold is the owner of this neat and well managed beauty salon. I see Nancy Smith, one of the operators, arranging a customer's hair in a new style. The customer is Florence Peterson, a well known radio enter- tainer. Now the crystal ball shows me another brick building which appears to be a large high school. There stands Mary Irene Roberts instructing her class of girls in calesthenics. On the next floor I see a Home Economics Room whichis kept spotlessly clean by Mary Lou Hamill, the very capable teacher. Alas! The mist returns and the last apparition fades slowly away. C477 HUMOR Miss Balentine'--Give me an example of how heat expands and cold contracts. U T. Flicky--In summer the days are longer, but in the winter the days are shorter. 1Mr.,.Truxal--Who were the first Americans?
