1965 Mars High School in Butler County, Pennsylvania * The Planet 1965

Students walk through these halls every day. Each has
his special destination and his own unique way of reach-
ing it. Jim strides confidently, smiling at everyone he
passes. Diane treads softly with her head shyly dropped.
John towers above the masses. Janice steps lightly, petite
and charming.
Maximum individual development requires recognition
of individual variabilities and acceptance of these differ-
ences as being normal.
In our school a forward-looking administration and
faculty recognize and deal with individuals. Ability group-
ing, programmed learning, the choice of a course of
study, and timely conferences and words of encourage-
ment to personalize learning, compensate for obvious
differences.
All these are necessary and justified to the extent
that they keep the development of the individual student
first and foremost—to help him become the complete
person God intended him to be. If this is done, then stu-
dents are more likely not only to become a significant
force for good, but also to benefit personally from a
well-rounded education.
These are individuals. Their singularities are referred
to as . . .

ADMINISTRATORS DISCUSS merger.
Highlighting the past year of the Mars Area Joint Sch::
Board were the official merging of the school district in Janus'
and the promulgation of evaluation results from the preceo*
year.
A Team of evaluators representing the Middle Atlantic Stc'-:
Accrediting Association studied the high school in March, I9H
Results were received in late fall. Mars became an accredits:
school district with a high rating.
Due to legislation passed by the state congress, Pennsylve' •
school districts were required to merge for a more efficient $.
tern. Although the Mars Area Joint School was virtually unaffecte?
the school board diminished in size from 20 members to an
terim Operating Committee of nine. This reduction was acco-
plished in January by an election of nine school directors fromi':
existing 20. Aided by the Advisory Committee composed of r-
remaining members, the Interim Operating Committee assure'
the duties of the Board.
The size of the school board has been altered, but the goal, I*:
best education for the available finances, remains unchanged.
Educating every student to meet individual needs is vital *
the board.

The scope of administrative work is diverse and complex.
School board effort must be linked with the individual stu-
dent as teachers are selected and curriculums are planned.
Student's individual problems must be considered and
resolved.
Piloting the high school, Mr. Robert C. Downie administers
to the needs of the 49 faculty members and 979 individual
students. The principal directs new programs, such as the
enrichment program and instructional materials center. Ad-
vanced courses in summer school compose a phase of the
enrichment program. It is augmented by the TEMAC pro-
gram, reading programs, and a possible Honor's course in
English-Social Studies. The Instructional Materials Center
contains audio-visual materials, films, and a professional
library for faculty.
As Supervising Principal, Dr. Albert Manerino guides the
complete educational effort of the school system. He allo-
cates sufficient time in his schedule for both students be-
tween the elementary and secondary schools.
Mr. F. P. Long is the elementary principal and co-ordinates
the primary and intermediate school. The elementary pro-
gram was under evaluation this year. New ideas in this area
are the study of Modern Math. Also newly introduced is
an experimental reading program, teaching the I.T.A. rather
than the traditional 26 letter alphabet.

Relevant to the interests and curriculum of the student,
the field of mathematics is becoming increasingly important
to the modern individual. Courses are designed with the
theory of developing the individual's capacity to the fullest
extent according to his or her ability.
I he advanced program, initiated several years ago, plans
to provide a challenge for the accelerated students. During
seventh grade they study a combined two-year course which
enables them to begin Algebra I in eighth grade. They ad-
vance one year ahead of other students, and during their
senior year an introductory course of calculus and analytic
geometry is offered for interested and capable pupils.
TEMAC, a supplementary program organized under the
National Defense Education Act, was introduced to Mars
students during 64-65, its initial year. Representing Clarion

tial subject.

Utilized in. Science
Five years ago manned space flight was still a dream in
the minds of a few scientists. Three years ago John Glenn
orbited the world before the hypnotized eyes of millions
of television watchers. Today plans are under way for a
three-man flight to the moon. There is no doubt about it;
science is moving forward.
To keep up with the pace the Mars Area High School
science department offers up-to-date instruction in con-
temporary courses. Physics, chemistry, and biology coordi-
nate classroom lectures and laboratory study. Lab periods
provide time for experimentation. Teachers and pupils share
their time to alleviate special problems.
Physics is one of the basic physical sciences that pri-
marily deal with non-living aspects of nature. Modern phy-
sics, taught in Mars Area High School, combines the classi-
cal study of heat :ound, and electricity with such newer
concepts as the structure and properties of atoms.
The second physical science, chemistry, considers the
composition of matter and the properties and reactions
that cause new substances to form. Lab experiments serve
to verify theories developed in classroom lectures.
Biology is concerned with the study of living things. The
tiny euglena which has both plant and animal characteris-
tics divides the science into the plant and animal kingdoms.
Dissection of laboratory specimens provides opportunity
for study in depth.
Qualified freshmen may schedule biology instead of a
third year general science. This advanced program allows
them an extra year to take advantage of elective courses.
From seventh grade general science to senior science or
chemistry, the student is prepared to be an informed citizen
in this scientific age.

JOHNSON WINS mock presidential election sposored by social studies de-
partment.
Through application of the social sciences, students are
prepared to capably face contemporary problems and find
more effective solutions.
Senior high social studies introduce concepts necessary
to those individuals who will soon undertake adult social and
political responsibility. World Cultures provides a broad
understanding of human traditions, while American History
encourages pupils to search for solutions in today's world by
analyzing the past. Economic understanding and practica'
sociology are taught in the Problems of Democracy course.
Special courses and projects are being offered to quali-
fied students. TEMAC, an advanced program for select in-
dividuals in "human behavior", is given to students in a
"programmed course." In a new reading program, sopho-
mores with a 3.7 average and juniors who acquire a 3.8 have
the privilege of suspending homework and reporting on two
or'three books each nine weeks.
Anthropology and social psychology are stressed more
as important phases in developing the student's comprehen-
sion of human behavior and the nature of the complex con-
temporary society. Emphasis is now placed upon making the
individual inquire, think critically, and formulate his owr,
conclusions.

The basic philosophy of the English department is founded
on four principles. These include influencing the student to
listen intelligently, to read thoughtfully, to express himself
effectively, and to think critically.
Through the study of literature, the student gains a better
understanding of human nature. Class discussions encourage
the student to express his opinion effectively. Writing as-
signments encourage creative thinking. Adaptations to the
individual levels of each student's ability and interest are
attempted by the use of projects, poetry, essays, editorials,
dramatizations, and research.
Awareness of the power of the spoken word is acquired
through speech class. Students learn control of the English
language in order to influence others favorably toward their
position.
The Journalism class disseminates school news by means of
the Planet Dust. Novice reporters learn the style of writing
and specialized knowledge peculiar to journalism in a work-
shop atmosphere.
Recommended reading lists were prepared for use by
senior high students. In addition, a standard style sheet for
use in assigning research papers was provided for all the
departments.

A Spanish student plays back a recording of his pronunciation. A French student con-
ducts a club meeting in French. A Latin student challenges his classmates to a spell-
ing bee.
This is Mars High School's foreign language department in action. Emphasis is on
the individual. Classroom lectures impart a knowledge of grammar. Degree of student
interest and cooperation determines his capacity to strengthen his command of the
language.
LATIN
Two years of Latin revive interest in that dead language and introduce students to
the Roman history, customs, and art. Furthermore, it furnishes a basic foundation for
studying modern languages. Sophomore projects and freshmen term papers intensify
interest in the field of study.
FRENCH
First year French students concentrate their studies on the spoken language with
class conversations and laboratory records. Second and third year classes develop
grammar skills and spend time in writing and comprehensive reading. "Practice makes
perfect" is the maxim applied to aural-oral methods of instruction.
SPANISH
To promote better understanding of the customs and traditions of world neighbors
is one goal of the Spanish course. Use of the language laboratory results in more ac-
curate pronunciation. Coordinated textbooks and records provide a basic foundation
in grammar from which students achieve fluent speech.

Guidance Offer "Helping Hand”
Mr. James Charlton
Guidance
Mr. Eugene Denser
Guidance Counselor,
Senior High
The guidance department consists of two levels. Mr. Eu-
gene Danser heads the senior-high division and Mr. Robert
Simmons, the junior-high division.
Intelligence, aptitude, achievement, and interest tests were
given throughout the year to determine the ability of the
students.
Individual interviews as well as student-teacher confer-
ences offer a "helping hand" to students who may need help
or advice.
Another important phase of this department is the special
education given to the "slow learners." Mr. Charlton has
spent many long hours in service to these students. Working
with the students individually, he is able to give them the
special attention that they need. Through basic study and
skills, the students are able to do work up to their ability.
Under the direction of Mrs. Vida Hudson, the library
showed outstanding progress in the circulation of books
this year. Because of this the library was kept open after
school to any student who was searching for knowledge.
With research papers and monthly book reports, the
library was a great asset to all the students. Information
of all types was available to those who were interested.
A number of new books and regular magazines were avail-
able to the students.
With its warm and quiet atmosphere the library was a
haven for any "researcher" or "browser."

Shorthand, Typing, and Bookkeeping are among the sub-
jects taught to prepare the students for future office work.
Besides book work, the students are also instructed to oper-
ate up-to-date office equipment.
Distributed Education, a great aid to the commercia
students, has been added to the department. During the
second semester of the senior year a group of girls are
selected to work for a period of nine weeks at companies
throughout the community. It gives them on-the-job training
plus a short glimpse of what is to be expected in their future
jobs.
Through the business department the students are giver
information which will be of great value to them in their
future. Also the department helps them to select a job at
which they are best suited.

Mr. De Wayne Simpson
Instrumental Music
Artistic and musical talents of the students are developed,
and creativity is stressed by the teachers of the music and
art departments.
The primary objective of crafts is to encourage individuals
to develop their creative ability. Each pupil is assigned his
own particular project.
Art students express their feelings through oil, water
colors, sketches, and pastels. Miss Gardner encourages the
artistic pupils through individual projects and preparing
scenery for stage productions.
Highlighting the musical program was the choral pre-
sensation of South Pacific. Mrs. Horwitz desires to provide
individuals with a cultural experience and to instruct them
in vocal techniques.
Individual discipline along with mental and muscular co-
ordination are two of the greatest personal benefits pro-
vided through the band.

Industrial Arts
Mr. Wayne Magness
Electricity,
Plastics
Instruction in basic use of metal, plastic, and wood is the responsibility of the
industrial arts program. Mars High provides adequate facilities to develop manual
dexterity, and students learn about basic and advanced tools. Drafting and the use
of blueprints are taught as well.
A standard requirement for all of the seventh grade boys is the taking of wood-
shop. As the boys are taught safety and the use of hand tools, they progress to more
complex apparatus such as the drill press, mortising machine, and jig saw.
Correct methods and a concern for safety in the shop are instilled in the students.
Lectures and demonstrations are integral components of this course, for a student
must have a thorough understanding of a machine or specific operation before he
can safely and effectively make use of the apparatus.
In the shop students are permitted to proceed at their own rate. For the specially
skilled individual, personal projects are encouraged.
Although the industrial arts program is very comprehensive, it is by no means
explicit. It was designed and developed, not for the purpose of teaching a trade or
profession, but rather to introduce the student to trade skills which might be use-
ful in the home or stimulate certain students to enter a vocational field which may
appeal to them.
The courses available to the students include: Electricity and Plastics, Woodshop,
Mechanical Drawing, and Metal Shop.

To employ the knowledge a student acquires in school and
to enjoy life, the individual should be in good physical con-
dition. It is the task of the physical education department
to develop each student to the limit of his capability.
A fundamental knowledge of the traditional sports, such
as softball, basketball, and volleyball is taught. Students use
modern gym equipment which can be adjusted to fit the in-
dividual's size.
In addition to the traditional studies of anatomy and
physiology, eighth grade students are taught first aid, in-
cluding artificial respiration.
Seniors taking Health learn the workings of the human
body and also the functioning of the human mind. Skits and
panel discussions illustrated these points.
In connection with their studies of emotional and mental
illness, seniors planning to enter the medical field or an
associated field, toured Woodville State Mental Hospital.
A question and answer session followed the tour.
Mrs. Jean Hammond, a registered nurse, has been added
as a member of the Health Department. Formerly, she
served as school nurse in the Adams Grade School.

"If thou hast gathered nothing in thy youth, how can*
thou find anything in thine age?"
—M. Tupper
Considering the future with conviction is difficult as '
senior looks at graduation with mixed emotions. He is happy’
he is sad; he is somber; he is glad.
Events from the past: the first day of school, the fir^
football game, the first date, the first formal dance, afc
now it is all over—except for new uncertainties, joys, anc
successes.
During the senior year the guidance dept, administered
many tests to determine the abilities of the students. •*'
November, fifteen of the commercial students took th<
Pennsylvania Employment Aptitude Test. This exam vza
given to test their abilities and help them in securing jobs
Eighteen academic and scientific students took the Penn
sylvania State Scholarship Test in November. These stu
dents were able to take it because of their high scholastic
average. If any qualified they would be eligible to receive
$250 a year in scholarship grants provided they planned tc
attend a college in Pennsylvania. Among the other exam
were the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test and the an
nual college boards given in both December and January
The year was filled with gaiety as well as school work
One of the many fun-filled events which will always remair
in the memories of the seniors was the annual prom. "The
Enchanted South" set the mood for the dance. Dancinc
under weeping willow trees and beautiful pink magnolia
blossoms, the seniors had their last get-together.
As the year came to a close, the seniors realized the
greater responsibilities ahead of them and promised them-
selves that they would meet them. Walking down the aisle
on the night of commencement they knew that Mars High
and all its memories would remain with them always.

Auf Wiedersehen
Standing on the steps of City Hall, Berlin, the late John F. Kennedy said: "Ich
bin ein Berliner" (I am a Berliner.) Five months later, 60,000 of my people with
tear-stained faces and silent shuffling feet mourned the loss of your fallen hero.
From August, 1964 to August, 1965, I (Susanne Richter) have lived as part of ar
American family, sharing the abundance of the American way of life for which that
"fellow-Berliner" had died.
I shopped in your supermarkets . . . rode in nice cars (everyday) . . . attended
your modern school . . . made friends . . . ran to keep pace with my schedule
(in fact, I never stopped running until the end of my stay) . . . participated in your
athletics . . . enjoyed your concerts . . . concentrated on the American ideals and
customs . . . worshipped in your churches . . . wept in moments of emotion and
disappointment . . . and enjoyed your love and understanding.
I sincerely hope that America will never sacrifice its heritage for a life in an overly
materialistic world.
I am deeply grateful to each individual and group responsible for my American
visit. May our efforts aid in bringing a closer relationship between Germany and
America in the years to come.

New York and. the World's Fair
"New York, New York, it's a wonderful town!" The mem-
bers of the Senior class will agree with that after their
short, but lively, visit there.
The Class of '65 began their New York adventure with
a ride on the ferry to the Statue of Liberty. The rainy
weather gave extra impetus for the long climb up the nar-
row, spiral stairway.
A tour of Manhattan and a view from the top of the
Empire State Building followed. A spectacular stage show
and a movie at Radio City Music Hall ended the first day.
Alice's trip through the looking glass was no more excit-
ing than the Seniors' trip to the New York World's Fair.
As aching feet testified, one day is not long enough to
see the Fair.
The last day was filled with a tour of New York from the
Bowery to Chinatown. After visiting the impressive United
Nations building, everyone rushed to the Commodore Hotel
to pack.
On the long ride home, everyone was tired but happy as
they recalled the joys of their trip to New York.

"Class of 196&"
"Why, this schoolroom is the gateway to all the problems
of humanity-to happiness, to health, to brotherhood-to every-
thing." —Junior Play
This quote from the Junior Class Play, "The Thread That
Runs So True," expressed the feeling of many juniors to-
ward education.
To emulate standards set by the students of "Lonesome
Valley," juniors advanced scholastically as well as socially.
Studying the rise of the American nation and the phases
of American Literature, the students were better able to
develop a sense of this heritage. Students who have met
the challenge of physics and conquered the mysteries of
bookkeeping were provided with a sound background for
future study. Qualified scholars were offered special courses
in "programmed learning" to augment the curriculum of-
fered by Mars High.
The National Educational Development tests and Iowa
Tests of Educational Development measured the progress
and scholastic ability of the Juniors.
Whether the students were working hard in a football
stand or enjoying themselves at their masquerade ball, their
junior year was one of many triumphs for the "Class of '66."

"Class of 1967"
SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS: Bill Lohr, Treasurer; Patsy Campbell, Secretary; Jerry Aiken, President; Chuck Clark, Vice President.
"Our destiny exercises its influence over us even when,
as yet, we have not learned its nature; it is our future that
lays down the law of our today."
—Friedrich Nietzsche
This quote clearly applies to the sophomores, who, al-
though carefree and fun loving, also portrayed their serious
minded attitudes towards the future.
Inquisitive and creative, the sophomore class showed a
great amount of talent in choosing an appropriate theme
for their first class party. The theme, "Guitars and Bongos,'
provided an exotic atmosphere through the use of a tropical
setting, palm trees, and a thatched hut. The dance was held
October 21, and included various novelty dances.
Major emphasis this year was placed on the development
of their class treasury. The collection of dues, followed by
the sale of blue and gold pens and turtle pins, were their
major campaigns.
But the sophomores didn't spend all their time worrying
about ways to make money. Intellectual capabilities were
demonstrated by the results of the National Educational
Development Test, held on March 13.
Not only have creative and intellectual achievements
been noted in the "Class of 67,” they also appear to have
all the necessary requirements for the leaders of tomorrow.
Only time can tell.

"Class of 1968"
FRESHMAN CLASS OFFICERS: Edward McCormick. Secretary; David Leonberg, Treasurer; Daniel Housekeeper, President; Sally Fyke. Vice President.
FRESHMEN
FRESHMAN STUDENTS who make good use of study hall get good grades.
"The direction in which education starts a man will deter-
mine his future life."
—Plato
"Parlez-vous francais?" and "Como esta Ud" are familiar
phrases to language students in this year's Freshman Class.
In addition to the traditional two years of Latin, the pupils
are able to take four years of these popular Romance lan-
guages. Qualified students may study Algebra II, and those
who are interested in the structure and activities of living
organisms may substitute Biology I for General Science.
Individuals play an important part in the activities and
social affairs of the "Class of '68." Entertainment for the
October "Kickoff Dance" was provided by the Shafer broth-
ers, who played their electric quitars. Fleet halfback Don
Philips was a member of the Varsity squad, and even though
he did not letter this year, his high achievement is worthy
of recognition. Movies were shown to the class by Dave
and Dan Kroh, whose parents are on furlough from the
Congo where they are medical missionaries.
Tests aided the students in deciding the subjects and
fields in which they would specialize in later years. Indi-
vidual abilities and preferences were revealed through
Kuder Preference Tests which all freshmen took. Freshmen
who wanted to compete with other Junior and Senior High
students could take the National Education Development
Test.

"Class of 7969"
EIGHTH GRADE OFFICERS: Carol Balfour, Secretary; Larry Basilone,
Vice President;-Thomas Meals. Treasurer; Patrick Smith, President.
"Education is the highest expression of achievement <n
our society, ennobling and enriching human life."
—John Fitzgerald Kennedy
Jingle Bell Hop, a Halloween party, and dances com-
prised a portion of the year for the "Class of '69." Yet
these activities were only a small part of the year for the
eighth grade.
Academic goals were kept in the foreground. The lowe
Test of Basic Skills were administered to determine the
students' achievement during the last year. At the end of
the school year, each pupil was able to decide whether he
will follow the scientific, academic, technical, commercial,
or general course of study in the next four years of school.
Individual guidance and testing was stressed, with each
student receiving a personal interview with the guidance
counselor. Tests of find speech, reading, and hearing defic-
iencies were given and special instruction was given those
who required it. The guidance department cooperated with
the Butler County Office of Psychological Service to aid any
student who needed their services. Prognostic testing was
used to verify a student's ability to perform well in a cer-
tain course.

SEVENTH GRADE OFFICERS: Wendy Versaw, Secretary; Sam Barber, Treasurer; Paul Chiplock, President; Adele Varga, Vice President.
7th GRADE
"Love of learning is a pleasant and universal bond, since
it deals with what one is and not what one has.”
Freya Stark
It was remotely heard at the distant end of the hall, but
it grew. It strengthened. Soon the sound of exuberant voices
resounded. The countenances of one hundred-eighty young
scholars gazed upon foreign walls for the first time. The new
seventh grade, the class of '70, had arrived.
Within the ranks of the energetic lot were numerous types
of individuals, but they were united in a common cause to
learn. Education had engulfed their spirits.
They assumed a definite role in sports and literary activi-
ties. With maturity, the student government was supported.
Recognizing the urgency for fellowship, two very popular
dances were held in the early part of the term.
To stress individual programs, interviews with the guid-
ance counselor were provided for each student.
Profiting by the experience gained in the Intermediate
Building, the class of '70 exhibited unusual development in
scholastic and social events. The potentials of this class
would be tremendous. This would be the class to watch!
CURIOSITY killed the cat, satisfaction brought him back.

National Honor Society Expands.
NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY First Row: M. Ziegler, L. Johnston, S. Bowser, E. Voller, V. Yurko, D. Blicka. Second Row: T. Reynolds, K. Cashdollar,
D. Reiter, M. McDonough. D. Henderson, T. Willman. (Not pictured: J. Lefever, J. Barber. B. Brown.)
OFFICERS: President, B. Brown: Secretary-Treasurer, E. Voller; Vice
President, K. Cashdollar.
"Scholarship, leadership, character, and service" is the
motto of the National Honor Society. For the first time at
Mars Area High School, sophomore and junior members
have been admitted to the National Honor Society. In for-
mer years, only seniors were eligible to join.
April 28 marked the date of the first initiation ceremony
of the National Honor Society. New members were inducted
by senior members during a solemn ceremony in an assembly
program.
To become a member, a student must have at least a 3 0
average and take five solid subjects each year. A faculty
council must approve each student who applies for member-
ship on his qualities of leadership and character.
Taking charge of the commencement ceremony is one
of the responsibilities of the senior National Honor Society
members. They provide a theme and various members act as
speakers.
The addition of junior and sophomore members this year
was the first step toward the creation of a more active
group. Although the late organization of the National Honor
Society this year made any further projects impossible,
tentative plans for next year's programs have been made.

Student Council Generates School Spirit
SENIOR COUNCIL—Sitting: V. Yurko, E. Hawkins, K. Cashdollar, B. Brown. Standing: D. Henderson, S. Leone, M. McDonough.
Susanne Richter's arrival fulfilled a dream initiated by
last year's student council. The pleasant task of welcoming a
German exchange student and helping her adapt to Amer-
ican life remained for this year's council. Susanne's pres-
ence triggered a one-day exchange of foreign students
with neighboring schools.
Student Council Peptomists strived to unite Mars stu-
dents into a nucleus of spirit about which school functions
could revolve.
Profits from after-the-game sock hops, plus receipts from
the prosperous student store bought a new hi-fi for the
social functions.
The council was composed of the senior high council, ad-
vised by Mr. Danser, and the junior high council, sponsored
by Mr. Simmons. Together, the representatives served as
the voice of the student body, sharing the responsibility to
act in the best interests of the Mars Area High School
student body.

French Club
Increasing knowledge of and stimulating interest in Span-
ish speaking countries was the intention of this year's Span-
ish Club. At the initial meetings Miss Aloe presented slides
on her trip to Mexico.
For initiation, the prospective members, who must ac-
quire a 2.5 average, had to perform several stunts. They
must maintain a 2.0 average to remain in the club.
In the spring, the club held a dinner in which Spanish
dishes were served.
To stimulate interest in the French language and the
culture and traditions of the country was the goal of the
French Club. Conducting all their meetings in French
strengthened their speaking ability.
Prospective members applied for admission in February
and were accepted on the basis of French grades. The
year was climaxed by a picnic held at North Park for French
and Spanish Club members.

Science Club Latin. Club
5-4-3-2-I—Halt!!!
Undaunted by initial failure and indecision, the Science
Club conducted varied experiments and successfully com-
pleted two group projects. Their first project was a simple
telescope, and their next project was the successful con-
struction of an Estes Wind-Tunnel.
Consisting of approximately two dozen members, the
club is affiliated with the National Science Foundation.
With pomp and ceremony, Imperator Bob Winner en-
tered the banquet hall on a litter borne by slaves, preceded
by dancing girls.
A Roman wedding spoken entirely in Latin and a gladia-
torial battle preceded the banquet. Freshmen slaves served
the guests a menu based on that of the Romans.
Fostering interest in Latin customs is the primary pur-
pose of the Latin Club.

Planet Dust
"Papers! Buy your papers! Buy a Planet Dust!" These
words rang through the halls one Thursday each month
when the Planet Dust appeared in the Butler County News
Record.
The Planet Dust has been published for the second year
by an established Journalism class. The staff was aided this
year by the use of second year students who had gained
valuable depth from their experience last year. The second
semester, Journalism II students worked on other publica-
tions, such as the Planet yearbook.
Besides having their articles printed in the News Record,
the staff also sent news stories to the Butler Eagle, Monitor,
and the Richlander. In this way, school news was read by
the entire community. The "Dust" staff has a scrapbook
full of the year's events.
In an attempt to gain added knowledge and gain new
ideas, the Planet Dust staff attended a convention held by
the Pennsylvania School Press Association at Churchhill High
School. They also visited the Butler County News Record in
Zelienople to observe the operations which lead to the
printed copies of the Planet Dust.
Last year, the National Scholastic Press Association gave
the Planet Dust a "good" to "very good" rating for the
editions published in the second semester.

BAND OFFICERS for 1965 are Tom Willman, Vice President; Jim Bar-
ber, President; Dave Hauserman, Treasurer, and Mary Sue Marburger,
Secretary.
Echoing across the gridiron, the eighteen trumpet fan-
fare was the trademark of the Royal Blue and Gold Varsity
Marching Band. Under the direction of the new band in-
structor, DeWayne Simpson, the band emphasized block
formation, precision marching, and a lively tempo. Special
routines were developed not only for games, but also for
street marching.
In October, the band played in the Mars Halloween Pa-
rade and in the Republican Rally for the approaching na-
tional election. The Royal Blue and Gold marched in the
Veteran's Day parade in Butler and performed for the an-
nual Buckwheat Supper held at the high school.
This year the band was invited to the Annual Invitational
Concert at Richland and also played for the Memorial
Day service at Mars. Band president James Barber was
selected to represent Mars High at Pittsburgh Youth Sym-
phony and played bassoon for the Duquesne University
Symphony Orchestra.

Block Formation
On May 14, the varisty band presented many fine se-
lections in the annual spring band concert. The performance
was enhanced by the lighting and backdrops which helped
to produce the desired atmosphere.
This year Mars High was also honored by being host to
the annual County Band concert, which was held on Janu-
ary 30. Fourteen Mars instrumentalists were among the 140
Band members chosen from schools in Butler County. Guest
conductor was Dr. Richard Strange, assistant professor of
music and director of Carnegie Tech's "Kiltie Band."
"The First Snowfall" was the theme of this year's Fantasy
Ball. Open to the entire student body, the annual dance was
held on December 29. Music was provided by "Frankie
Sawhook's Orchestra." The ball reached the exciting climax
when senior majorette Sharon Thompson was crowned "Fan-
tasy Ball Queen" by band president James Barber and last
year's queen, Connie Renick.
Awards and recognition were given to band members.
Seniors were honored at the Richland game, which marked
their final performance on the football field. During the
Christmas program freshmen received patches, while the
seniors had their band sweaters and letters presented to them.

School January 30. More than 135 student musicians from
Butler, Karns City, Knoch, Moniteau, Slippery Rock, Seneca
Valley, and Mars took part in the concert. Fourteen Mars
students participated.
The concert was sponsored by the Pennsylvania Music
Educators’ Association. The guest conductor was Dr. Rich-
ard E. Strange, assistant professor of music and director of
the "Kiltie Band" at Carnegie Institute of Technology.
The Mars band director, Dewayne Simpson, was host
band director. He introduced the program and conducted
the first two selections.

Planet Staff Develops Theme
EDITORS: Mike McDonough, Mr. Hawkins, advisor, and Virginia Yurko ponder the theme for the 1964-65 PLANET.
Planet Staff
"Join the drive for '65" was the motto of the subscrip-
tion sales campaign of the 1965 Planet yearbook. The year-
book, under the sponsorship of Mr. Thomas Hawkins, is not
only a memory book for the students but also a public
relations media promoting the Mars Area High School.
Composing the Planet staff are six different staffs: make-
up, photography, finance, sports, typists, and literary.
The first task of the staff is to choose an appropriate
theme for the yearbook. This year it was "individual dif-
ferences." Not only must all the articles illustrate the theme,
but any drawings inside the book and the cover must also
be appropriate.
The 1964 Planet was awarded a first place rating by the
National Scholastic Press Association. First place rating is
the second highest rating any yearbook is awarded by the
association.

"Grecian. Holiday" G.A.A. Dance
Setting the mood for the annual Girls' Athletic Associa-
tion dance was the theme "A Grecian Holiday." The school
cafeteria, decorated with Grecian pillars and other similar
designs, presented a very gala scene.
The highlight of the evening came when the former 1964
G.A.A. queen, Miss Kitty Briceland, crowned Diane Blicha
the 1965 queen. Varsity football captain Dick Pauls pre-
sented Diane with a charm bracelet containing a miniature
football with her name engraved on it. After the presenta-
tion, Diane was honored by a Queen's Dance, where the
other varsity football players took part.
The organization is under the guidance of Mrs. Darlene
Weinzetl, physical education teacher. Membership in the
association is based on the athletic activities of the girls.
Applications must be filled out and checked by former
members before entrance into the club is completed.

VARSITY CHEERLEADERS
"Are you rootin' for the boys? Yea, man! Are you matin'
any noise? Sure, am! Well, give us a fight!"
This cheer and many others were repeated throughout
the year by the varsity cheerleaders. As in past years the
cheerleaders were very active in supporting both the foot-
ball and basketball games.
"Tromp Northwestern" and "Ram the Rams" were only
two of the many signs which were placed in the halls before
each of the games. These signs and the "skits" at the pep
rallies seemed to strengthen school spirit and get support
from the students.
Something different occurred in the number of cheer-
leaders. The number rose from six to ten. This eliminated
the junior varsity squad and also the confusion of who was
going to cheer at the various games. A different squad of
five was on hand for each game. This new situation gave the
girls a chance to cheer and yet not be behind in their school
work. A grade average of 2.5 was necessary to remain on
the squad.
Practices were held throughout the summer and once a
week during the athletic season so the girls could keep in
shape and have the time to work out new cheers.
The girls were very loyal to the team members and the
student body. They cheered for all they were worth. They
cheered the team on to victory or stood behind them during
a defeat—which helped a great deal in keeping the team
alive with "fight."

Driver's Club
Modern. Dance
Safety was the goal which this organization endeavored
to impress upon the whole of the student body. A skit was
put on at Halloween to caution both the drivers and the
halloweeners of the need to increase their vigilance. A
windshield-washing campaign was inaugurated at one of the
home football games. Advice on safety methods were con-
veyed at certain home basketball games.
"Rhapsody in Blue," "Slaughter on Tenth Avenue," and
"Exodus" set the mood for the modern dance team. Their
creative interpretations of the music conveyed their art to
the audience.
The Modern Dance Team, under the direction of Mrs.
Darlene Weinzetl, climaxed a year's work with perform-
ances at the senior talent show and the gym show.

TRIPLE TRIO
Select twelve attractive senior high girls and combine with
popular Broadway show tunes. Stir with the hand of the
school choral director, Mrs. Margaret Horwitz. Carefully
blend in twelve voices until the desired harmony is reached.
Add dance steps and stage maneuvers and for best results
include a dash of enthusiasm and a pinch of determination.
Dress in pastel evening gowns and set on a softly lighted
stage. Christen the finished product the Mars High Triple
Trio and behold the transformation of the former girls'
ensemble.
Many hours of hard work after school contributed to the
success of the group. They strived to achieve their goal
which was to serve as a Mars Area High public relations
media. Mrs. Horwitz felt that good music, sung well by
talented girls, does a lot to advertise the work being done
in the school.
The group also appeared in school programs and assem-
blies. One of their favorite selections, "Love Makes the
World Go Round," entertained students at Christmas time.
The members also doubled in the Performing Chorus and
played reading roles in the musical, "South Pacific."

CHORUS OFFICERS—Patsy Campbell, Sec., Shawn Boyle, Treas.,

Dominating the cultural lives of sixty senior high students,
the Performing Chorus successfully completed its initial year
by presenting the musical "South Pacific."
Relaxation was stressed by the director, Mrs. Horwitz.
Mixing enjoyment with work, the chorus gained proper
techniques of choral work. The chorus acquired experiences
with frequent rehearsals; on-stage practices provided a
familiarity with professional work.
Favorable results were evident in the first program pre-
sented to the student body at Thanksgiving.
Sonorous chords floated through the school halls as the
chorus perfected their Christmas program. The goal of Mrs.
Horwitz was to excell all past performances.
Laboriously they practiced, for the work of the chorus
was just beginning. "South Pacific," Oscar Hammerstein's
musical paradise, was scheduled for production in March.
Through hard work, Mars High presented its first musical
comedy to the public.
Time will offer new challenges. A sigh of relief was
breathed as the final encore was given in "South Pacific."
The job was finished.

ISLAND GIRLS and Luther Billis sing of "Bali Hai."
Mars Area High School's first musical, Rodgers and Ham-
merstein's "South Pacific", was presented March 12 and 13.
It was performed by the Mars Area High School Performing
Chorus.
The play took place on two South Pacific islands during
World War II. The cast was composed of marines, sailors,
sea-bees, nurses, and islanders.
Of greatest importance in the plot is the love affair be-
tween Nellie Forbush, a lively young nurse from Little Rock,
Arkansas and Emile de Becque, a gallant, middle-aged French
planter.
The romance between Lt. Joe Cable and the lovely Ton-
kinese girl, Liat, ends tragically with his death.
Bloody Mary, Liat's mother, is the shrewd operator of a
souvenir trade. Luther Billis is the earthy seabee who per-
forms in the Thanksgiving entertainment.
Erica Augustine and Kathleen Smith both played Nellie
Forbush one night. Charles Long had the role of Emile de
Becque. Nearly sixty students were in the cast.
Directed by Mrs. Margaret Horwitz, "South Pacific" was a
sell-out both performances. Marlin Clay served as set de-
signer and technical director. The dances were choreographed
by Diane Blicha. Accompanists were James Barbera and
Phyllis Cohen from Carnegie Tech. Senior high boys served
as ushers.

Junior Class Play
"Why that’s impossible! It's awful. We're not going to
have a junior play!"
Students with drooping spirits had just attended a junior
class meeting and filed from the auditorium, shocked by the
news that had been revealed. The 1964 Junior Play was
cancelled! A director could not be found.
All was not lost, however, since sensing the students dis-
appointment, Mrs. Lois Latshaw and Mrs. Ida Mae Meckley
volunteered for the wearisome job. Wes Horner was selected
as student director.
Valuable time had been lost and so an accelerated sched-
ule was prepared for a large cast. Undaunted, the directors
modeled the cast into the comical characters of the play and
after concentrated effort, the curtain was pulled. "The
Thread that Runs so True" became a Martian reality.
With "mountainous" enthusiasm, the cast unravelled the
"thread," Jesse Stuart's autobiography.

Senior Play
Meg Wheeler has used statistics to get her way since she
was fourteen. She used them to convince her parents that
she should move to New York City. Once there, she lands a
job working with statistics for a market research company.
Becoming interested in Evan Doughton, she can't seem
to get him seriously interested in her. She persuades Miles
Doughton, Evan's serious brother, to undertake a motivation
research project. The object is to determine how the prod-
uct (Meg) should be changed to please the consumer (Evan).
As far as unsuspecting Evan is concerned, the project is
a success. Although the result of their project is not what
they expected, Meg and Miles are pleasantly surprised by it.
This is the tale told by the senior class play "Ask Any
Girl," which takes place at the Madison Avenue Girls Hotel
in New York City. Directed by Mrs. Lois Latshaw, the play
was given April 22 and 23. Virginia Anderson and Dave
Hauserman acted as student directors.

Junior High Cheerleaders
BASKETBALL game gives Junior High cheerleaders a chance to explode.
Victory, victory is our cry! This cheer rang through the
gym many times during the season coming from the Junior
High cheerleaders.
This energetic group of girls tried to keep school spirit
alive at each of their games. They helped in many ways
to cheer the boys on to victory or to comfort them when
a defeat occurred.
Some of the highlights this year were taking a major
part in "varsity" pep rallies, selling programs at the home
varsity football and basketball games, having their own pep
rallies and helping to sponsor a student bus.
Any girl in seventh, eighth, or ninth grade was eligible
to try out. Practices were held during the summer so that
the girls were able to organize themselves and revise cheers.
The girls that met the requirements for the squad have
worked this year to cheer on the boys and create school spirit.
The girls have promised themselves to continue their job
of keeping school spirit alive by trying out again next year.

Cadet Band
Junior Chorus
For the first time in several years the Cadet Band did not
perform with the Varsity Band in a concert. This year they
shared their concert program with the Junior High Chorus.
Cadet Band members not only gained valuable exper-
ience in concert music, but also played in the pep rally
for the Richland football game and for a basketball rally.
Under the direction of Mr. Simpson, new band director,
the members received special attention through weekly
sectional practice in addition to the regular rehearsals.
They all hope to become Varsity Band members.
The junior high students participating in the Junior Cho-
rus realized the necessity of music in modern life. The means
to this end were facilitated by the charms of lyrics and
melody.
The fundamentals of chorus work were first instilled by
unpretentious songs. Later, the intricacy of the music in-
creased and the love of singing was stressed.
No serious program was performed, but these seventy
sets of vocal chords will hopefully bind the musical program
of the school in the future.

Reading Club
Reading can be the key to the world. It will always pro-

seventh grade Reading Club, sponsored by Mrs. Vida Hud-
son, was formed to instill a love of this valuable art in the
members.
The club holds monthly meetings in the library. Books
are reviewed by members and followed by a general dis-
cussion on the worth of the book.

7 th and 8th Grade Art Clubs
Education is many things. It is learning and studying,
building and creating. In the Eighth Grade Art Club, stu-
dents combined materials and talents to create pictures of
charcoal and crayon. Guided by Mr. Marvin Clay and Miss
Mary Ann Gardner, various types of art forms, such as
water color and spatterwork which were produced, enhanced
the school lives of the students and improved the atmos-
phere of the school.
Take just one piece of construction paper and hand it
to a member of the Art Club and what do you get back?
—a beautiful creation.
The clubs donated their different projects to the St. John
Lutheran Home in Mars throughout the year to brighten
the patients' lives.
At Christmas time, the club made angels, shepherds and
Santa Clauses which were easily constructed.

They assisted in the Junior and Senior Class Plays, the
assemblies, the production of South Pacific, Band concerts,
and the Pixie Playhouse.

Projectionists Club
PROJECTIONISTS—B. Hasley. Mr. Papilc, J. Knox. J. McCandless, Mr. Henicheclr, D. Brailey, J. Boyle, D. Campbell, G. Comely.
Convenience and education were only two of the ad-
vantages which this organization succeeded in fulfilling.
Education of its membership in the correct use and opera-
tion of the various apparatus was the prime objective of the
organization. Teachers could rest assured that the equipment
would be available when needed, thus alleviating many
worries and misgivings they might have had in connection
with their lesson plan.
In addition to the audio-visual aids which have been
acquired in the past, a technifax developer and a copier
were introduced this year.
The desire of the school administration to have an instruc-
tional materials centers will be extensively enhanced by the
contribution the Projectionists Club offers. Composed of
nineteen members, this club meets periodically for the pur-
pose of discussion, instruction, and work. These hard-working
individuals rightfully deserve the acclaim which was often
omitted for the numerous services which they performed.
Mr. Clement Papik, himself a new teacher at Mars, is the
sponsor of this industrious organization. He personally main-
tains the orderliness that is characteristic of the audio-visual
aids room.
PROJECTIONISTS, Dave Brailey and John Boyle, make photo prints for the

F.B.L.A. Office Aids
From the labyrinth of clicking typewriters and whirring
office machines emerges a group of people distinct in their
chosen career. These are the Future Business Leaders of
America.
Members were primarily concerned with preparing for
the business world. Annual subject skill contests served as
a goal to stimulate the members.
Under the leadership of Miss Aloe, the members under-
took the task of soliciting for Butler County Heart Fund in
the Mars Area School district.
Typing, filing, answering the telephone! A secretary's
work is never done! Composed of senior members of the
commercial department, the Office Aids assist the school
secretaries and the guidance department.
Gaining experience for future employment is the main
purpose of the group. No matter what the field in the bus-
iness world, the experience they gained forms a firm foun-
dation for future employment.
Under a cooperative program with business, many of the
girls worked in business offices part time.

Varsity Club Hobby Club
Pulling together, the club strived for a number of com-
mon goals and accomplished them by working as a team.
As is necessary for any goal one hopes to attain, money
was an inevitable problem. Some of their fund raising proj-
ects included faculty games for Varsity, Jr. Varsity and Jr.
High Awards. With their proceeds they sponsored the
athletic banquet and bought letter sweaters for Varsity and
Jr. Varsity Award winners.
A model car contest was the climax of the Hobby Club's
year. The contest was open to any student, not just club
members. Recognition was given to applicants whose en-
tries were considered best of the show.
The creative ability and skill of the members was de-
veloped through the activities of the club. Their imagina-
tion and knowledge is also increased.
The club is sponsored by Mr. Marlin Clay.

Debate Club Library Aids
Building citizenship requires a basic knowledge of gov-
ernment and the ability to express one’s views fluently.
This year a new club, the Debate Club, under the guidance
of Mrs. Shirley Kelly, was taught to interpret eminent issues,
take a stand, and support their position. Such topics as
foreign aid and the school dress code were discussed dur-
ing the course of the year.
On October 31, they held a car wash, the profits going
toward the purchase of debate and research books.
Aiding Mrs. Vida Hudson, the school librarian, is the job
of the Library Aids. Thess students gave up free periods
to assist with such tasks as card filing, repairing books, and
checking on overdue books and fines.
December 15 was the date of the annual faculty tea
given by the group. The students served tea, cookies, and
candy to the teachers and administration.
Toward the end of the year, book repairs and research
students took much of their time.

Future Nurses
Camera Club
The newly organized Future Nurses of America, under
the sponsorship of Mrs. Helen Knaell, R.N., included girls
interested in a nursing career.
The club undertook such projects as field trips to different
hospitals, helping out with the "shot" programs and lending
a helping hand to students who had the misfortune of
wearing crutches this past year.
Throughout the year the girls also tried to develop better
understanding about nursing through the aids of movies
and lectures.
Look at the birdie! Throughout the year, the camera
club of Mars High kept an eye on the birdie and focused
their sight on learning the art-science, photography. This
group of young camera buffs desired to see their photos
printed in the Planet or the Planet Dust. The aim was ful-
filled by experimentation.
Under the sponsorship of Mr. Foster and Mr. Hawkins,
pictures with improved quality were made for both pleas-
ure and purpose. The initial year was one of experimenting.
Future years should be marked by contributions and pride.

Season a Success
HEAD COACH Paul Douds and assistant Clement Papik discuss
Richland game with captains Jim McCandless (25) and Dick Pauls (67).
Jack Reddinger Ken McAlpine
Center Tackle
Looking back over the season leaves many things to be
said.
It was a rough year for the Planets but a good year at the
same time. Despite the poor record of 2 wins and 6 losses
the team played well. From the beginning up through the
season's end, injuries to key personnel hurt the Planets.
After the first five games the Planets were winless and
it was said, "The boys never gave up." The team fought
hard in every game and were rewarded with victories over
Center and Richland.
Standouts for the team were quarterback, Steve Leone,
halfbacks, Jim McCandless and Dave Wilds, guard, Dick
Pauls, and center, Jack Reddinger. The passing and running
of Leone, Wilds, and McCandless plus the fine line play
of Pauls and Reddinger were instrumental in leading the
team. Many of the 24 men who lettered this year will remain
next year. With these lettermen back and a few breaks,

Football Resume
Mars vs. Knoch (20-7) Lost. In the lid lifter of the 1964
season the traditional battle was decided with a 13 point
scoring drive by Knoch in the fourth quarter. Bright aspects
of the game for the Planets were the passing of Steve Leone
and running of Jim McCandless, which enabled Mars to
score.
Mars vs. Union (25-0) Lost. The Planets journeyed to rain
soaked Newcastle for their first away game. The adverse
weather conditions stymied the Planet running and passing
game, and the men from Union had no trouble. They took
the initial kickoff and literally sunk the Planets.
Mars vs. Northwestern (7-0) Lost. The rain followed Mars to
their home field and a defensive battle was the story of their
game. Fine passing by Leone plus the running of Hasley
and Wilds made for an interesting game, but a pass inter-
ception in the final minute of play resulted in a heartbreaking
loss for the Planets.
Mars vs. Hampton (48-6) Lost. Fullback, Doug Barber and
quarterback, Steve Leone teamed up for a touchdown, but
the Planets were completely outclassed in this game. Hamp-
ton had little opposition and presented a fine offensive
thrust as well as a stiff defense.
Mars vs. East Deer (13-6) Lost. In a bitterly contested battle,
the East Deer Bucks managed to score the winning touch-
down in the final frame. A beautiful punt return by Dave
Wilds set up the Planets score but this wasn't enough as the
losing streak continued to five in a row.
Mars vs. Center (25-14) Won. Victory came at last for the
Planets in a hard fought game. Center scored twice to hold
a 14-7 lead in the first half. The second half proved big for
the Planets as Jim McCandless, Dave Wilds, and Steve
Leone provided an overpowering offense. The defense
picked up incentive as the Planets proved too tough for the
Tigers of Center.
Mars vs. Bellevue (41-0) Lost. The powerful Bellevue "B"
Champions were just too strong for the Planets, offensively
and defensively. The game saw the loss of two fine backs,
Doug Barber and Bill Hasley, in one of the worst defeats the
Mars Planets have suffered in many seasons.
Mars vs. Richland (19-12) Won. A big second quarter plus
a real team effort made the Planets' season a success. Once
again Dave Wilds, Jim McCandless, and the defensive squad
turned in fine performances to down the Rams. The game
not only topped the season, but it also sent Richland home
still looking for a victory.

The Junior Varsity Football team experienced a poor sea-

while playing a rough schedule. Despite their poor record
of 1-6, a bright spot was the running of Junior fullback
Larry Fox. In their only victory, over Etna, he paced the
Junior Planets to victory. Also, valuable experience was
gained by the whole team for next season.

only team to score upon undefeated Richland. The only
touchdown of the season was scored by Dick Reddinger on
a pass from Dan Housekeeper in the Richland game.

Varsity Basketball
The 1965 WRIAL season of play was, for the Mars Planets,
a long one. New head coach Michael Crist and his team
faced a rough schedule. This was the first season that a
Mars basketball team had played in WPIAL competition. The
Mars team won only 4 of 12 non-league games, and could
capture only a single league game. Mars was last in its sec-
tion with a record of one win and ten losses. The total
season record was 5 wins and 17 losses.
The Planets had almost an even record before league play
began. Then they hit an eleven game losing streak. Despite
a fine start in many of the games, there was usually one
quarter in which the men from Mars would fall behind. This
quarter often proved fatal, and cost the team several games.
The most important win during the season was against a
tough Rochester team. This win knocked Rochester out of a
three-way tie for first place. It was a close game, Mars
winning 69-68.
A great amount of experience was gained throughout the
season by both the juniors and sophomores. This experience
should help to improve next year's record a great deal.

Varsity Planets
COACH CRIST discusses strategy with his team.
Even though the Planets had a poor team record, there
were several fine individual showings. Senior Jim McCandless
demonstrated his great rebounding skill throughout the en-
tire season. Offensively, Jim contributed 132 points. Assist-
ing Jim under the boards were juniors Dave Foster, who
scored 130 points, and Bob Stanzaki, who scored 73 points.
The leading scorer on the team was senior Rich Fitzgerald..
In each of ten games he scored 20 or more points, including
33 against New Wilmington. Also, he led the team in field
goals and in foul-shooting percentage.
Another senior, Steve Leone, contributed 186 points to
the offensive attack. During the season he played out front
and under the boards, doing a fine defensive job.
Junior Bob Cleva was second in scoring with 285 points
in foul-shooting and field goals. After scoring in the double
figures in most of the games, he was chosen to be on the
second all-star team of section 14-A of the WPIAL.
Sophomore Chuck Clark, who played on the Varsity the
last half of the season, accounted for 78 points. He played
well for the Varsity, once scoring 19 points against Rochester.

Have Even Season
Coach Nancy Church led the varsity girls in the first even
season for many years. In a disappointing season premiere,
Mars varsity girls dropped their first game to Knoch. Back
on their own floor for the next, the Planets defeated Fox
Chapel for their first victory. Mars held Richland to a three-
point lead at the half, but in the third quarter the Rams
proved too much for Mars. A second win was scored against
Seneca Valley. An away game with Fox Chapel added
another win to the varsity record. After tieing the game in
the third quarter, the Planets lost their second contest with
Knoch. The varsity team picked up two more wins over
Slippery Rock and Seneca Valley. Losses to Vincentian and
Richland ended the season with an even five wins and five
losses.
The varsity girls also participated in the Richland Tourna-
ment at the Richland Youth Foundation. Mars met defeat
at the hands of Sharpsburg and Richland to place fourth
among seven participating schools.
Linda Hood, high-scoring varsity forward, was awarded
an all-star trophy for outstanding ability in the tournament
games.
The junior varsity team started their season off slowly, but
picked up in the second half to end the season with four
wins and five losses. The high point of their record was a
win over Knoch.
MARS FORWARD, Linda Brooks, looks for help against Knoch.

students, who excel in gymnastics, a chance to participate
in a spring sport. The boys' team, sponsored by Mr. Paul
Douds, will have its third annual gymnastics exhibition, with
the girls gym team, on May 6. The hard work of the team
is pointed toward this exhibition, because the team has not
yet started competition.
The team consists of boys specializing on one or more
of the following pieces of gym equipment: trampoline, still
rings, parallel bars, side horse, and the free floor exercises.
To be elected to the team a boy must be proficient on three
of these apparatuses.
JOHN McLAUGHLIN perfects the L-hang on the still rings.
HARRY MAZUCH warms up on the parallel bars.

GOLF TEAM
The spring of 1965 saw the largest golf team on the fairways
for Mars High School. Under head coach, Michael Crist, and
his assistant, Gerald Dambach, the team played out at the
Bakerstown Golf Course. The nucleus of the team was composed
of Steve Leone, Pete Laskovich, and Jack Reddinger. These
three seniors provided the scoring punch and were capably
backed up by seven sophomores. These sophomores were Clyde
Weller, Bill Johnston, Bob Winner, Roy Park, David Burk, Bob
Burk, and Chris Bruce. The team competed in match play in
the W.P.I.A.L.
A great amount of interest has been shown in the golf team.
The sophomores are gaining experience this year which will be
needed for the next year's team.
In early season matches the team achieved a great deal
more successes than in the previous year. Golf, one of the
country's leading forms of recreation, has proved to be a wel-
come addition to the extracurricular slate of activities at Mars
High School. This is evident by the increasing number of
students participating in and supporting the team.

Track: A New Spring Sport
DON PHILLIPS leaps hurdles.
JIM HOFFMAN tries the pole-vault.
A new sport, track, was introduced to the Mars student
body during the 1964-65 school year. This sport was met with
enthusiasm by the entire student body. A great number of
boys were active in the sport which covered a large variety
of events. The 120-yard high hurdles, 100-yard dash, two-mile
run, 880-yard, 220-yard, mile relay, and the two-mile relay
were all included in the track events. The field events included
the shot, pole-vault, discus, high jump, broad jump, hop-skip-
jump, and the javelin. These events improved both physical
condition and individual character.
Due to the great number of track and field events, more
boys were active in track than in any other sport. Unlike other
sports, track gave each participant a chance to be active in
the sport throughout the season.
The track team was under the able direction of Coach
Gerald Dambach. Coach Dambach kept the boys on their
toes, in order that they would always be able to give one
hundred per cent.
Track, as a new spring sport, hopes to prove very suc-
cessful.
TRACK TEAM—First Row: R. Kaufman, W. Kennihan, L. Fox, R. Cleva, F. Hespenheide, R. Wegemer, J. Yeager, T. Willman, S. Pell, D. Kirk, D.
