J'DhSUVOhd,
Our Theme this year is the Prison. You might say there's
not much to look forward to with a Theme like that. We feel that
we have at least our parole to look forward to. An then what—
who knows?
Some Yearbooks are Ships sailing out into the great un-
known future with Skippers, and Mates, and Boatswains, and
Pilots. But not us. Some Yearbooks are Comets blazing forth
into space. But not us.
No, we're a Planet, but yet different than a regular Planet.
At first we shine with the light issued us by the Guards and War-
dens and finally at our parole we shine with our own light that
we have hidden away until the long awaited day.
Some say a Prison is the treadmill to oblivion. A place from
which no bit of hope shines forth. Well, prisons are places of
confinement, of discipline, of rehabilitation, or preparation for
citizenship. School is like that. It has prepared us to meet our
life after parole with confidence. One thing a prisoner learns
to do is live one day at a time, hopeful of the day when he is
free again, but just marking off each day. We are learning to
live each day and to train ourselves for service.
None of us expect to go forward with any blaze of glory
because prisons aren't like that. We'll face each day as it comes
an dplan and work for a parole. The Future will be there when
we get to it. The Parolees of 1955 go Forward!
Gun. “tflmtc THahi^’
Oh, dear old Mars forever,
For her we'll stand together
No matter what befalls us . . .
We'll go where Mars will call us!
Oh, Mars, Oh Mars, our Alma Mater
For you, dear Mars, we give our all!
Sturdy and staunch we'll stand
Throughout the entire land;
We'll surely fight for fame
For Alma Mater's name!
Oh Mars, Oh Mars, our Alma Mater
For you, dear Mars, we give our all.

The Senior Class of 1955 wishes to dedicate this edition of
the Planet to you, Mr. Downie.
Throughout these past several years you have been our
Guide, leading us through paths unknown but always with
some bright spot at the end. You have been one to whom we
could turn, knowing that we will receive some solution to our
problems, whatever they may be.
Your cheerful disposition has been a valuable asset to the
school and is certainly appreciated by the Senior Class.
We congratulate you, Mr. Downie, on your sincere and con-
stant strivings to succeed and to improve your interests in the
school.
We, the Senior Class of 1955, salute you, Mr. Downie, and
wish you continued success throughout your years at Mars High
and the future years beyond.

YEARBOOK STAFF

The Planet Staff worked diligently all year
under the supervision of C. P. Barrett to produce
a unique yearbook.
Early in the term, assignments were given
to the members of the staff. The whole project
was divided into various departments which
worked on different articles and conducted the
business transactions.
Part of financing the publication was ac-
complished by soliciting advertisements. Sev-
eral groups canvassed nearby districts for sup-
porters. The Editors and Feature Writers were
kept busy mounting the pages of pictures and
securing articles concerning the activities of the
different clubs. The Calendar Editors summar-
ized the events of each week and chose the most
interesting happenings for publication. Mem-
bers of the staff who participated in sports were
chosen as Sports Editors and wrote about the
activities of the football and basketball teams.
The writing of the Class Will and Class Prophecy
took a lot of time and thought.
All the divisions worked diligently and
much time was spent in attaining the goal of
completion of the yearbook. We would like to
thank all those who made this yearbook pos-
sible.
We, the Planet Staff of 1955, now present
to you, the students of Mars High School, our
annual yearbook.

The Junior Class of 1954-1955 is comprised of 1 1 3 members
in homerooms D, H, and F. The sponsors and homeroom teachers
for the class are Mrs. Lintz, Mrs. McCloskey, and Mr. Girdwood.
Members of the class are active in all of the clubs and
groups. A large percentage are also in the Band and the various
choral groups.
The activity in which the largest amount of Juniors partici-
pated was school sports. This year Juniors won letters in boys'
football and basketball and girls' basketball.
Under the direction of Mrs. Lintz, the class presented the
annual Junior Play in the early fall. The play, Men Are Like
Streetcars, turned out to be a surprising success for the class.
The major plans for this year are directed toward a trip to
New York City at the end of the school year. On June 6, the
members will board Pennsylvania Railroad trains and be off for
a three-day vacation in the big city.

(pinio/c (plaAA. (play.
The title of the Junior Class Play presented this year was "Men Are Like
Streetcars." It is a comedy in three acts, dramatized by Christopher Sergei and
taken from the book written by Groeme and Sarah Loremer. The play was pre-
sented in the high school auditorium on the nineteenth and twentieth of No-
vember.

Mix a typical teenage girl with a typical older sister and you will have the
play in a "nutshell." Maudie, the typical teenager, is continually trying to get
her older sister, Sylvia, "married off." In doing so, Maudie loses her own boy-
friend, Davy, almost loses a contract for her father, turns her friends against
herself and mixes everything up for Sylvia.
After a hard learned lesson, Maudie discovers that "no line is the best line"
and with this as her guide she regains her boyfriend and her friends, gets the
contract for her father, and Sylvia finally gets her man.
The hard work and cooperation of the cast, the directors, and the many
committees made it possible to have a successful play.

The Sophomore Class had a class party on
October 22 and on February 24. We also
had a skate at Twin Willows. The class voted
that each member bring in $.50 a month start-
ing with December until school is out plus their
$1.00 dues. This will cut out bake sales, etc.
and save us work and confusion.
The Sophomore Class is divided into four
different rooms. Room C, E, S.H. I, and S.H. II.
All of the homerooms had their own homeroom
officers. The sponsors for the rooms were Miss
Renison, Mr. Mellett, Mrs. Roberts.
A number of our girls made Baton Twirling,
Flag Swinging, and G.A.A.
The G.A.A. members for 1955 are: Mary
Bender, Joanne Proie, Judy Hessler, June
McDonald, Judy Crawford, Pat Stoup, Dorothy
Mowery, Donna Spangenburg, Marion Schmidt,
Sally Hackney. Baton Twirling: Marion Schmidt,
Judy Kaufman. Flag Swinging: Donna Span-
genburg, Carol Niethercoat, Nancy Hanna, Pat
Boggs.
Marily Nolan made Drum Majorette which
is a great honor to any girl. All the Sophomores
wish her luck.

On September 8, 1954, 204 scared fresh-
men milled around in the auditorium—soon to
be our home room—looking desperately for
familiar faces. We received, free a guided tour
of our high school, and after that we were on
our own—for better or for worse.
Home room, for all but the vocational agri-
culture students, was the auditorium—tastefully
decorated with tables and chairs. We heard
about the famous bell even before we knew
who our teachers were. Seats ranged from the
altitude of the "shelves" to the stage. The voca-
tional agriculture students—all 13 of them, had
a private room in the "Chicken Coop". Mr. Bar-
rett, Mr. Holmok, and Mr. Garbart capably
managed the auditorium and Mr. Meyer was in
full command in the Ag room. Later in the year
the class was split into two more home rooms—
K and the Home Economics Room—with Mr. Gar-
bart and Miss Chernay as home room teachers.
Even though we were split into home rooms,
there was always A-l cooperation between the
officers and the class.
After October we emerged cleaner, fresher,
and with more shine and sparkle by selling fur-
niture polish just in time for fall housecleaning.
Then in February we worked like the proverbial
ant to make a "screaming" success of Them.
At our first party we all got acquainted by
playing games, dancing, and, naturally, eating.
The climax of our second party was a scavenger
hunt for things like limburger cheese, false fin-
gernails, and a filled diary.
May we have another three years together
as happy as this one has been.

for next year.
The members wrote to a number of schools to obtain infor-

The aim of the Student Council is to represent the student
body and to put into effect their desires and is therefore one of
the most important clubs in the school.

The Planet Dust has again proved its worth
in its success this year.
A new system was tried this year to relieve
the Seniors of responsibility in the second sem-

Bob Hitt, as Senior Editor, and his staff did
the bulk of the work until mid-semester when
Bruce Comstock and the Junior staff took over.
Congratulations go to Bob and Bruce and
many thanks to Mrs. McCloskey and Miss Aloe
as advisors.
Mars High School has added to their extra

This year the Mars' Planets under the leadership of Coach Girdwood won
two, tied two, and lost five. The team did well this year compared to past years.
The season opened with a win over Bessemer and was followed by a hard
fought game with Union that ended with a three nothing (3-0) defeat.
The worst game of the season was with Freedom that ended in an over-
whelming defeat for the Planets. Evans City was defeated and Zelienople tied
to wind up the season.
The Varsity team got new uniforms this year to go with their new yellow
helmets.
The Planets lose a number of Seniors this year—Dave Taylor, Paul Lewis,
Wayne Mattern, Ron Neithercoat, Richard Papera, Ed. Datemasch, Jim O'Toole,
Joe Rutkowski, Bob Penney, Chuck McCormick, and Bob Marsh.
Thanks for doing a swell job boys and good luck to the Planets for 1956.
This year the Mars' J. V. Planets under Coaches Girdwood and Thompson
won three and lost three. Their good record shows that a winning team is
coming up in several years.

The 1955 edition of the Mars Planets was
undoubtedly the best basketball team ever as-
sembled in Mars. The team record was 14 wins
and 12 losses. The Planets played 14 games
in one of the best sections of basketball in West-
ern Pennsylvania, Section 8. Ten of the 12
losses were by eleven points or less. Mars
High also won the consolation trophy in the an-
nual Tri-Ciunty Basketball Tournament.
The team was ably coached by Mr. Alymer
Girdwood, who just finished his fourth year as
head mentor. Mr. Girdwood was instrumental
in building up this year's team as he has coached
this year's Seniors since their Freshman days and
had planned hopefully for this season.
The team will lose several top performers
through graduation. Among these are Dave
Taylor, who at 6' 2" was the tallest member of
the squad. Dave led the team in rebounding
and also helped out considerably in the scoring.
At forward Mars will lose 5' 1 1" Don Wix. Don
set a new scoring record as a Junior and broke
his own record with 486 points his Senior year
with an 18.7 per game average. Don also holds
the individual scoring record for one game, with
34 points. This performance came in the Tri-
County Tournament and broke the record for
one game in that tournament. Don was picked
on the All-Tri-County team along with Dave Wie-
gand, a Junior, who made honorable mention.
Also graduating this year is forward, Jim
McFarland. Jim did a fine job whenever called
upon. At guard, Mars loses Bob Marsh, who
was a good set shot, and Ed Datemasch, who,
although he was the smallest man on the team,
a lot was seen of him on the floor.
This year's team wishes to thank the coaches
who spent a lot of their time to make this year
a success. The graduating players want to wish
the teams of future years a lot of success.

The J. V. this year was coached by Mr.
Thompson, who is the head of the Athletic De-
partment.
The boys on this year's team were Jack
Lees, Chuck Croskey, Bob Gumm, Bill Aiken, Jack
Hardt, Joe Dietz, and Jim Garber. Sometimes
when the going got rough we were fortunate to
have Russ Spangenburg, Dan McQueen, and
Lyn Walters to play for us. We hit some good
teams this year and really enjoyed the season.
Chuck Croskey was our tallest man. He
and John Davenport were our rebounders. Jack
Lees, Tim Koah and Dick Fusca did most of the
ball handling. The team this year was made
up mostly of Sophomores who will be moving
up to Varsity next year. Most of the time we
used a man-to-man defense and once in a while
a two-three zone.
The team came through in winning eight out
of twenty-three games of which three were
league games. We averaged 33.5 points a
game.

Tisw jAip.
During our Junior year, the class of 1955
took the first trip that a class, as a whole, from
Mars High has taken in many years.
After discussing the matter for some weeks
we decided to go to New York City. We wanted
to see the "Big Town" and everything it had to
offer.
Arrangements were made with the Har-
mony Shortline Bus Company for the trip to New
York and plans were made for a schedule to be
followed during the trip. We each paid $15
of our own and the other $10 was paid out of
the treasury.
We left Mars at 8:00 P. M., Friday, June 4,
1954 on three Harmony Shortline buses. Our
trip really started then. Not many of us got any
more than three or four hours of sleep that
night. We made several stops at Howard John-
son restaurants throughout the night we spent
on the road. We arrived in New York City
about 7:00 A. M. the following morning and
checked in at the Hotel Belvedere. After break-
fast we went down to the dock to see Charlotte
Raab, our schoolmate from Germany, off for her
trip across the Atlantic.
Charlotte was seen off in good style and
then we saw New York. So big it is! Our tour
took 6’/i hours and covered everything from the
Statue of Liberty to Central Park. All morning
we rode around New York while a guide pointed
out all the sights we had heard about for so
long. We stopped at the Frick home to see the
famous Frick collection of art that is almost
priceless in value. At noon we visited the Statue
of Liberty. We went out on the ferry—(no one
got seasick.) The Statue is one of the most
beautiful sights one could ever imagine standing
so tall and erect and proud. Such a wonderful
emblem of our country's freedom. It looks pure
white until you get up close to it then you realize
that it is actually a light shade of green. We
landed on the island and a lot of us climbed to
the very top of the statue and looked out through
the holes in the statue's crown. If the ferry
didn't make us seasick the stairs were enough
to make us airsick. So small and windy they
are!!
When we got back to Manhattan we con-
tinued our tour through Chinatown and the
Bowery and the sights we hadn't seen in the
morning.
That evening we saw two television shows
—Perry Como's show and Chance of a Lifetime.
It was quite an experience to see what goes on
behind the camera on a television show.
That night was another almost sleepless
night and what a night! You'll have to experi-
ence one yourself to know what I mean.
Saturday morning we saw a stage play,
heard the Radio City Concert Orchestra, and saw
the movie, "Executive Suite" in Radio City Music
Hall. From the Music Hall we took an extensive
tour through Radio City in Rockefeller Center.
One of our experiences was riding to the top of
the RCA Building in the world's fastest elevator.
We stood at the top for a while and waited for
our breath to catch up with us. Believe thee me,
it is a fast trip! From the top of the building we
could see both ends of the island and everything
in between.
After the tour of Radio City we had lunch
at the hotel and then were free for the afternoon
to do what we pleased. No one actually got
lost but we heard some strange reports. Some
of our brave boys lost themselves in the subway!
New Yorker's don't seem to feel sorry for small
town people lost in subways. I understand
they're still wandering around in the under-
world!
We had dinner at the hotel and bid adieu
to the wonderful East Side, West Side, the Bronx,
and the Bowery of good old New York at 8:00
P. M. Saturday night. The poor bus drivers
shuddered to see us but we weren't quite as full
of zip this trip. We arrived in Mars at 6:30 A. M.
Sunday morning and found our way home to
spend the next week convalescing from the most
wonderful experience a class could ever have.
We would like to thank all those who
helped make this trip possible and who spent
a great deal of their time trying to make it a
worthwhile trip.

The Girls' Varsity Club is under the guid-
ance of Mrs. Miles.
The club is working hard in order to earn
money to buy sweaters for the four seniors who
are leaving.
The club wishes to express their sincere
hopes for success for the future years for Mars
High School students.
The Boys' Varsity Club was organized under
the direction of Mr. Girdwood.
The club presented the lettering Seniors
with a varsity sweater with service stripes.
The club earned money for the sweaters by
selling programs at the football games and by
sponsoring a varsity faculty basketball game.
The varsity club wants to wish the coming
athletic teams much success in the future.

McGee
The girls were chosen in the spring of 1954
for the 1954-55 season. This is the first year for
all of them. The girls elected Gail Papera as
their head cheerleader and she has done a fine
job.
Since jumpers are the fad this year, the
girls bought gold material and made jumpers.
For football, they wore the jumpers with the tra-
ditional heavy blue sweaters over them. For
basketball, they bought blue jerseys for under
the jumpers.
The cheerleaders got out the old mega-
phones, painted them, and started using them
again. Because the old cheers have been the
same for so many years, the cheerleaders re-
vised the cheers and added some new ones.
In order to raise money for two senior's
sweaters, the girls made and sold booster pins
for the football games, and programs for the
home basketball games. They also held dances
after some of the basketball games.
We sincerely thank you, the cheerleaders of
Mars High, for your fine work at the games.
The Senior Play is composed of seventeen
members of the Senior Class. The name of the
play is "Father Knows Best." It was adapted
from the television production of the same name.
It is a story of the Anderson's and all of their
family difficulties. Betty, the oldest daughter,
seems to be desperately in love with Ralph.
They go out to a dance and Father is going crazy
all the while because he thinks they have eloped.
Patty Davis is in love with Bud who can't stand
her. Mother is in desperate need of a new
washing machine. Naturally we can't forget
Kathy who contributes to the mischief. The high-
light of the play gets under way when the officer
of the law has to be called to track down their
lost daughter, Betty.
All of the members of the cast have worked
very hard to make the play a success. They
have been under the direction of Mrs. Lois Lat-
shaw and under the student direction of Shirley
Shick.

The familiar melodies of the school song,
Alma Mater, and other pieces which rang
through the band room every homeroom period,
were made by the Mars High School Band con-
sisting of sixty members.
Before school, in the month of August, the
members spent many evenings getting ready for
football season. A new idea was tried this year
by combining with the chorus to form a half-time
show. Included were "It's a Big Wide Wonder-
ful World" and "The Battle Hymn of the Repub-
lic". We also marched in the Halloween Parade
and in the Armistice Day Parade in Butler.
A Christmas party was held in the school
auditorium, at which we found Mr. Ebner to
be real gone. Could it be the coo-coo clock that
did it?
After many long practices, the band ex-
hibited their talents by presenting a concert on
February 18. The performance was very enter-
taining and highly received by the audience. We
looked forward to the Spring Concert, which was
an exhibit of our contest work.
The band has been supported by the Band
Mothers organization and through their help and
our co-operation, you will see the band marching
in brand new uniforms next year.

Another successful year of the flag twirlers
has come to a happy end. The squad of ten girls
who were all seniors proudly marched on the
football field with their uniforms of blue cordu-
roy skirts and white turtle neck sweaters.
Barbara Bender, who has been a flag twirl-
er for four years, was elected leader.
The girls worked together to have a success-
ful year and an outstanding group.
After another spectacular season of march-
ing we are losing five capable senior girls. They
are J. Inda, G. Ferguson, N. Swinderman, C.
Sable, and B. Powell.
Under the supervision of Mr. Ebner the Ba-
ton Twirlers performed their outstanding twirl-
ing ability.
Georga Ferguson, who was leader of the Ba-
ton Twirlers, along with her squad was seen
wearing the colors of gold skirts and white turtle
neck sweaters.

The mixed chorus consisted of 80 members and was
under the capable direction of Mr. Ebner. This was Mr. Eb-
ner's first year at directing both band and chorus since 1951.
All of us who have worked with him realize his great ability
and appreciate his patience. The chorus was accompanied
by Carol Cashdollar, a junior.
The chorus planned three big events to be worked on
throughout the year. The first was held a week before Christ-
mas and was entitled "The Nativity". It was a tremendous
success with the auditorium packed. Practice for the Nativity

performance.
Practice for District Forensic and Music Contests kept the
members busy for three months until contests took place on
April 1.
The annual band and choral concert was also held in
March and was a great success.
The chorus met during the first period in the afternoon.

The Ensemble this year consisted of seven
Senior girls and five Juniors.
In the Soprano section were Sylvia Schafer,
Betty Lee Zimmerman, Madelon Speer, and
Arlene Baker; the second Soprano section in-
cluded Carol Sable, Sally Brannon, Barbara
Wheeler, and Pat Roman; with Altos, Joanne
Nolan, Gail Papera, Connie Farrell, and Helaine
Ball.
The girls met at noon on Wednesdays, and
Thursdays with Mr. Ebner, their director.
They took part in the Christmas program,
"The Nativity" in which they sang, "The Little
Lamb" which they used as their selected song
for District Contests. Later, when the chorus was
asked to sing at St. Barnabas, they repeated the
Christmas performance. The Ensemble also
sang for the Mars P. T. A. and the Women's Lit-
erary Society of Mars. They always sang for
May Day and this year was no exception. The
girls were constantly working on good tone and
blend.
Last, but of course, not least they would like
to mention and extend their very sincere thanks
for their director, Mr. Ebner, who was not only a
fine director but a wonderful person to work
under. He gave all his time and ability to make
the group a success.
We want to wish the girls much success in
future years.

The F. F. A. has had many activities and
field trips during the year. For our field trips
we went to various places. Usually we went to
Harry Kushings at Parker. We sold pine trees
for him. We usually go to the annual Farm Show
held in Harrisburg every January. This year
seven of the F. F. A. boys went to the Farm Show.
We take two main field trips and visit different
farms in the vicinity.
Each year the F. F. A. plants from 10,000 to
20,000 pine trees. We also take care of the
Memorial Plot at the Mars Cemetery. This year
we are trying a community safety program to
cut down accidents on the farm.
The most important activity of the year is
the annual Parent and Son banquet. This year
the banquet was held in March at the Hope
Grange. 100 parents and students attended this
banquet. At the banquet club members made
speeches on projects and activities during the
year.
