X x Q 4. ei, ,N N The closing event of our voyage for that year was the school picnic held at Idlewild Park. Our first voyage ended successfully and may all others end as well. The ship is at rest in the harbor until vacation time is over. We are ready to resume our voyage out upon the Wide seas on September 6, l939. The shore grows dimmer as We sail along. A future of excitement is ahead of us. The first thing We did was to elect officers for the new year. Doris Blough, captain: Thelma Iones, co-captain: Dor- othy Smith, secretaryp Ann Ewanic, treasurer. How well we all remember the first social event of the voyage. It was a sport hop in honor 'of our football team. Miniature football players decorated the Walls and small footballs served as programs. Iosephine Mastercola ready, willing, and able, helped the other ar- tists in doing an excellent job of the decorations. Our handmen Warren Smith and 'Charles Hen- ninger.were kept busy with getting the gym ready for the dance. Virgil Good, one of the violin players, worked with a smile at everything in which We needed his assistance. Thanks to the juniors the dance was a success. All the football heroes were seen there with smiles on their faces. To help with the financial side of the tour, wax paper was sold throughout the voyage. Thelma Iones, that grand little singer, with full cooperation, succeded in selling a great deal. Mary Fender was a good little saleslady herself. Many days Lena Mae Baker and Betty Iarvis were seen helping the librarian. Kath- ryn Wasil also assisted the passengers with her services. Betty Smith and Hazel Saylor were often found during the trip, in the library in- tent in their studies as were also Iohn Trebus and Francis Wasielewski. 2. A--fx is.- -N L. u X -Qsyviry 1

ANDRIENE BAKER Broucl-I BORDER BORELLE BRACKEN Behold! Stan:ling on the shores of time we see in the distance a huge ship laden and old with cares, having fought and conquered for three toilsome years, the battles on the uncertain seas of life. Look! It is sailing slowly and quietly into the docks of the peaceful harbor of repose. Bow your heads in reverence as it draws nearer. Our hearts are overflowing with joy and in- spiration as We listen to the exciting adventures told by the crew of faithful fellowmen. Above all other noises the cry of stand by is heard. Here comes the Class of l94l. Three years ago our ship was new, setting out on a dangerous voyage with the guidance of hearty admirals, our teachers leading us through the storms of life, with the success here shown. Even though we are safe in this harbor, we have a greater voyage for the future ahead of us. Remember, keep your head up and face life with a smile. But let us retrace our steps of memory back to our first encounter with a new ship and passengers. The future looked rough and ex- citing. Three years ago a ship and sophomore passengers of Conemaugh Township High School began that long voyage on October 10, 1938. Im- mediately the following officers were elected: Doris Blough, captain, Frank Weaver, co-captaing Connie Carosello, secretary: Steve Kuchman, treasurer. The admirals chosen to guide us were john Kaufman and Carol Henderson. The first exciting event of the journey was the roller-skating party held by the new ship DON- BLouoH DORIS BLouGH BLOUCH BRENNAN BROWN CAPRFTTI at Bridge Street skating rink. Above us the noisy throng of wheels, happy voices could be heard telling us each and every one was having an enjoyable time. One of the most exciting and thrilling hap- penings on our voyage was the killing of a black snake by two of our passengers. It hap- pened in the biology room where the snake had coiled its body and pushed its enormous head against the lid of its quarters, seeking release from captivity. A scream was heard from the girls and instantly Clyde Iennings, who had left us for a different voyage on the sea, and Bob Law came to the rescue, grabbing the snake by the back of its neck. The snake twisted from the grasp of Clyde and bit him in the palm of his hand. Finally it was killed and is now safely kept in formaldehyde in the biology laboratory. Whew! What an exciting experience for that day. It is good to be on the quiet deck again and to listen to passengers telling interesting events in history. Harold Thomas gave a fine talk on world history. Iohn Richko and Steve Kosco, who also plays a clarinet in the band, both cooperated in giving interesting events of history. Our football team was certainly a success for a newly organized group. Eddie Maslanka, our backfieldman who was voted the best per- former in basketball in the St. Francis College tournament our junior voyage, made the first touchdown of the season. Congratulations to Eu- gene Stenger, our center, who has joined another ship on its voyage, for his fine work in football. f 4 ati

Our basketball team captured three cham- pionships that year. They took the Somerset County Class A title, District 5 and St. Francis tournaments. As members of the varsity, Mas- lanka, Start, Kuchman, Trachok, and Palmino sparkled with great brilliance. A bright future was predicted for the Indians, expecting to advance in a few years. When the call came for football men Bob Andriene was one who came with flying colors. He also came out on top in wrestling. Ioe Cor- tese, that bashful boy, also answered the call. The stately lad, Charles Samfilippo, joined the group in making this year a successful one. The early spring found Iohn Tomaszewski hard at work practicing for track. This squad also won a championship of District 5. Iohn never neglected his studies and certainly takes them serious without letting sports interfere with them. One of the big events of the year was the production of the junior play Pickles Becomes a Lady. Iennie Panasci, with the beautiful black hair, had the leading part. Tall, blonde and handsome Bill Intihar did a fine job in the role of a war veteran. Helen Trevorrow, class editor of Connumach, in all her giggles portrayed her part with finesse. Connie Carosello, student ad- viser of the Contownian, played the part of a walking dictionary. Handsome Frank Weaver acted his part of an aviator to a T. The class president, Doris Blough, was the charming young teacher. Of course a play has to have its vil- lians and, they were none other than Bill Virgin and Iohn Richko. The editor of the Connumach, Dorothy Smith, played the part of a girl who lisped and Glenn Kaufman, the part of a me- chanic who stuttered. josephine Mastercola, Eleanor Reitz, one of the school's bands, Gertie Walker, With her pretty smile, and Lela Mae Blough, an all around girl, played an excellent role in making the cast complete and another success fro the year. The largest event of the year was the junior- Senior Prom on May 24. The passengers danced to the music of Bob Waters, and the gym was decorated with a touch of a modern ballroom. It completed a perfect year of hardships and fun mixed together. The sea calmed down as we entered port for another vacation. Tears were seen in some eyes, others were happy. The crew as well as passengers were tired and intended to spend the vacation in the most pleasant Way possible. Thus ended another voyage with hopes of the next being just as enjoyable as the first two. During the summer Bill Border and Bud Grazier took it easy. Marjorie Kyler spent her time lying in the sun acquiring a good tan that you saw at the beginning of our senior voyage. johnny Bracken was 'seen hunting arrowheads over the hills and vales. Clair Roberts and Alvin 'Marshall forgot completely about school. That is why they were so happy all summer. One and all had a pleasant summer and seemed ready to return to the last of the voyages. Here we are back again after an enjoyable summer on land. This crew has just begun their last journey among the turbulent seas aboard
