Memorial High School Wilkes-Barre, Perma. . o, I. 1 F - oo-J UST ten years ago this month, G. A. R. Memorial High up School of Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, completed its H I first school year. On November 21 of the preceding year, 1925, the school had been dedicated. Named in honor of the Grand Army of the Republic, it was dedicated to the health, happiness, and education of the youth of Wilkes-Barre. The theme of this 1936 GARCHIVE -of Achievement is, as its name implies, a tribute to the achievement that has been attained by the thousands of pupils who have attended G. A. R., and the achieve- ment that has been accomplished by those educators of Wilkes-Barre, its board of education and the faculty of the G. A. R. llflemorial High School, in furthering the health, happiness, and education of the youth of Wilkes-Barre. - l2l EDICATED to a high ideal, those leaders i to whom was intrfisted the realiza- . tion of the ideal have spared no effort nor expense in helping the students of G. A. R. to a richer and fuller life. '. Placing health first among their objectives, as the foundation of all success, they made use of all i that modern science has discovered to achieve their aim. The building is light and airy, and has plenty of sunshine. lt is equipped with two fine gymna- siums, and an athletic field. Students are regularly given health examinations and instructed in hygiene. Sports are a regular part of extra-curricular activ- ities, and everyone is given a chance to indulge in some form of athletics. The belief that a happy frame of mind is conducive to health and good work underlies the second aim. And in the fulfillment of that aim provision has been made at G. A. R. for a host of extra-cur- ricular activities. Students are encouraged to follow their bents in any of a score or more of clubs of all kinds, to attend school dances, and to enjoy, as active participants or as spectators, several plays every year, and athletic contests of a half dozen sports. A series of professional programs brings them travel and scientific lectures, in- spirational talks, music, art, and drama. Q l3l L UT perhaps nothing contributes more to their ultimate hap piness than the knowledge and skills that they acquire 1 at G. A. R., for education is the final and most com- prehensive of the aims, and with the foundation built for them in their regular courses, the students are enabled to meet life successfully and so to find content. At the beginning of their high school career students are allowed to choose an academic, com- mercial, or technical course, and are guided in selecting their course and in choosing their life work that they may fit themselves for the work that they desire. Each course, however, gives the students training in both cultural and vocational subjects. In seventh and . eighth grade each student is given a sample of each vocationg that is, . a boy must taker Work in every shop and a gi-rl both cooking and sewing at some time or other. ln ninth grade the pupil is allowed an to select that particular line of work which fits him best. l4l X it CTIVI2 participation in extra-curricular activities gives the students an additional specialized training, as well as a sense of responsibility. Student patrol squads, a news- 4 V paper, written, edi-ted, and printed by students, plays, will musical comedies, puppet shows, concerts, stage crew, library service -all of these activities give the students, not only much detailed i 'h knowledge, but also a set of habits-concentration, dependability. resourcefulness-that are invaluable, as well as the feeling of joy in achievement, a confidence that comes with the realization of work is well done. ' Pt In this 1936 GARCI-uve of Achievement the aim of tht-iistaff has been to portray a cross section of life at G. A. R. and by presenting in words and pictures a year of activity in this school to show the realization of that ideal, the health, happiness, and education of the youth of Wilkes-Barre. . l5l l as i i i 7 , I 3, Q t 5 A , .A X, J ' p x l X X-,J -i X. , X ,x 7 f 1' C 1 , , X 4 1 f ,- Q X W..

The members of the class of 1936, after spending six short years at G. A. R., retain fond memories 'of their high school days as they leave their alma mater for colleges or buslnessf ' f HE class of l936 numbered three hundred and ninety-six back on, that sunny September day in 1930 when we entered G. A. R. lldany things were new to us. Those long corridors, that mammoth auditor- ium, those immense gymnasiums, all made us realize that here was a school of which we could be proud. The first few weeks bewildered us. We never before had had more than two teachers and we never before had eaten our lunch at school. Finally we became accustomed to things. Some of us joined clubs. Reverberations reached us from the grown-up world of senior high school of athletic con- tests, plays, dances, banquets, and we longed for the day when we would not be the youngest class in the school. The following year, familiar now with our surroundings, we greeted old friends, and we enjoyed the feel- ing of belonging. We began to worship the heroes of senior high schoolg and when a football idol would say, Hello, Smith, We beamed with-pride. That spring we were allowed tb select our course of study for the remainder of our stay at G. A. R. After this we could hardly wait for the time when We should change classes individually in- stead of in homeroom groups. Yes, we were eager to become ninth-graders. Upon finally reaching our temporary goal, however, we were faced with what seemed at first to be unconquerable difficulties in the form of Latin, French, and German. lldany of the inactive stu- dents of the class of '36 woke up to find their classmates joining orches- tra, glee club, dramatic club, and athletic squads. Still, we were eager for the day to come when we should be permitted to go out of the cafe- teria at lunch time, a privilege which at that time symbolized senior high school to us. But what was our chagrin when we had reached senior high school, to find this privilege of the most exalt- ed extended now to everybodyg and we, instead of being the leaders of our group as we had been in ninth grade, were once more the youngest and most-looked-down-upon members of the school. We had one satisfac- tiong at least we attended senior high school chapel. Our dignity was restored when upon reaching eleventh grade we re- alized that we were second in com- mand. We began to groom ourselves forthe exalted position of being sen- iors by going to dances, plays, foot- ball and basketball games, and by lSl ' .joining the various organizations. VVe were waiting impatiently for the day when we should be seniors. That day came, and while we were sti-ll strutting about, senior life was full upon us--clubs, dances, as- sembly programs, successful athletic seasons, Polly with a Past, The Belle of Bagdadf' the epidemic of knitting clubs, the great floods of 1936, GARCHIVE preparations, com- mencement activities, commencement itself. And our short six years at G. A. R. were over. Now we leave our alma mater. Some of us go into business, others will further their education at col- lege, and still others will become me- chanics, carpenters, electricians, or printers. Yet those little incidents and high spots that we can recall from seventh grade on will stay with us forever. This time at the end of our school year, instead of looking forward to another year at G. A. R., full of work and play, athletic con- tests, dramatic productions, activities, publications, concerts, and friends, we are looking backward, and with a slight catch in our throats remember- ing the years we have spent at G. A. R., our alma mater, fairest of all to us.

R. from the grade schools in September, shy and bewildered by the vastness and strange- ness of your nevv surroundings. lfou soon lost this shyness, however, and began to taike part in the scholastic and extra-curricular activities of your newly-adopted school. You became ardent supporters of the football, basketball, and track teams, attending the games to cheer the teams to victory. If the determination to suc- ceed continues througout your high school career, there is no doubt as to the type of high school students you will make. The class of 1936 wishes you un- limited success in all your undertak- ings throughout your school career. Seventh Grade First Row: F. Pavloski, A. Zackaravich L. Sirnoncavage, E. Mobarter, E.

Memorial High School since it opened its doors in 1925. You who have played a vital part in our school during much of this period have achieved your realization in your high school career by et- taining that somewhat enviable position of graduate. This has been made possible by an earnest desire on your part to equip yourselves with those things which some day will give you better assurance of happiness and success,which depend largely upon service. My most sincere wish as conveyed toyyou in these greetings is that the accomplishments and good reputation you as a class have established with your teachers and schoo1mates'msy continue un- falteringly in the future, and that your asso- ciates may slways feel that you as a member of thexplass of 1936 are rendering real service, which is also the keystone of achievement. .

Faculty advisers included Miss Jones, Miss Weeks, and Mr. Pelton. N December, the senior home- ' room teachers and others most closely associated with the seniors and the GARCHIVE work held a con- ference for the purpose of selecting those members of the senior class that they deemed most worthy oi being -instrusted with the important work of publishing the yearbook. On December 20, the appointments were announced. Thus began the creation of the 1936 GARCI-uve. Soon after the Christmas vacation, the first step was taken. The annual campaign of 'soliciting subscriptions got under way. To interest the stu- dent body in -the book, the members of the GARCHIVE staff presented an original humorous skit before both junior and senior high school assemb- lies, on January 22 and 23. Then the canvassers, as well as the other members of the staff, visited all homerooms to solicit subscriptions. The results of the subscription cam- paign showed that the number of subscriptions exceeded those of other years. The collection of the money was taken care of by the busi-ness managers, under the supervision of lVIr. Pelton. The work of the staff consisted of deciding upon the general plan of the GARCHIVE, arranging photograph schedules, and attending to numerous other details, in all of which the members were under the skillful guidance of llriiss Jones. The entire GARCHIVE staii held meetings when- ever the occasion demanded, but members of the editorial staff gave a great deal of their time working on the publication after school hours. The supervising of the copy was in charge of Miss Weeks, who spent much of her time with the editorial staii. GARCHIVE First Row: Editorial Staff-M. Dough- erty, A. Hughes, M. Randall, H.

Their purpose was two- fold, to keep up interest in the year- book and to earn some money to help the cost of publication. Each year the Gaacmvis stan' tries to add an innovation to the book. Several years ago, pictures of clubs were included for the first timeg two years ago, the book was printed i-n two colorsg last year a hard cover was introduced to the studentsg and this year a new style of senior write-ups and a new style of headlines was attempted. This year the staff also decided that since practically every person in the school had his picture at least once in the book, it would be better to 'omit a special page for autographs and allow everyone to sign his name over his picture. The GARCHIVE this year is larger by four pages than any preceding one and has a larger page size. There are also about ten clubs included in this book for the first time. lvliniature iigures in the division pages were all posed for by members of the student body and were taken by the photographer. They repre- sent thought and work on the part of the art editor, the editorial saff, and the photographer. The pictures of school life in the opening section of the book are not posed pictures but were taken during everyday classes in the school. In compiling this book, the mem- bers of the staff have come to real- ize that it would have been impossible to attempt to publish a GARCHIW'E Without the cooperation of the stu- dents and faculty. They wish to ex- press their appreciation to llfliss Jones for her direction in the publication of this book, to lVIiss VVeeks, for her helpful supervision of copy, to lVIr. Pelton for his eiiicient management of subscriptions and to the student body for its enthusiastic support in the subscription campaign. l . Once A Week . . . for twenty-seven weeks this group publishes a three-column, four page newspaper, the BLUE AND GRAY. This year's publication introduced many features to its subscribers. HE BLUE AND GRAY staff, who write, edit, and print the weekly school newspaper, com- prise one of the most important or- ganizations in the school. This year, a record-breaking subscription cam- paign, conducted under the direction of lvliss Jones, started the paper on a successful year. A sincere and earnest editorial staff, under the supervision of Miss Weeks, upheld the policy of the past, whi-le seeking always for fresh ma- terial and new ideas. It was the aim of the staff to provide their readers with news of the school, and to re- 'flect and to guide student opinion. Among the outstanding features provided by the paper, each week were: The lVIaestro, a column of patter on a variety of subjectsg Top- ics of the Day, short paragraphs on current news, Gardenias and Garlic by Walter Chinwell, consisting of G. A. R. gossip, The Wanderlust Reporter, a series of snapshot inter- 'views with students and teachers on various questionsg With the Editors, editorials on diverse subjects, a va- riety of feature stories, and book re- views of popular books in the library. Four times during the year the staff published a six-page issue, which included two pages of junior high school news. The junior high school reportorial staff, under the direction of lVIiss Lord, were responsible for the composition of these pages, which were of particular interest to the low- er classmen as well as to the senior high school. The BLUE AND GRAY is printed in the print shop of the school by a staff of student printers, who are under the direction of Rflr. Romig. In recognition of their achieve- ment, a gold pin is presented to edi- tors and reporters who have served on the paper at least two years while in senior high school and who have always completed their assignments.

Keep To The Right . . .The trafiic officers of G. A. R., the hall patrol, help to prevent con- gestion in the crowded halls of the school while classes are changing. MONG the outstanding organiza- tions at G. A. R. the hall patrol is one of the largest and most useful. An important body of the student or- ganization, it is under the supervision of bliss Jones, a student president, and five 'floor captains, who are res- ponsible for members' reporting to their designated patrol stations at the appointed time. It is the duty of the patrolmen to stand at their places while classes are changing and by their presence. or if necessary by a word, to remind students to keep to the right and not to block trafiic. The patrol system is invaluable in expediting the pas- sage of large numbers of students through the halls and thus in avoid- ing the unnecessary loss of time. The patrolmen give continuous service through the year, since they must report to their places at the end of every period, every day. Assembly Book Squad . . . Every morning when the students go to chapel they find song books at their places-thanks to this eliicient group. A J HIS group perform very help- ful service for all members of the school. Under the supervision of Miss Hahn, the assembly squad take charge of the song books used for chapel exercises and special oc- casions. The squad is composed of -one stu- dent from each homeroom, who is appointed by the homeroom teacher. Each librarian is responsible for a certain number of books allotted to his homeroom. He must see that the books are distributed before chapel. First Row: M. Petruzzini, M. XVeber, M. Kellie, D. McAvoy, T. Zack, E. Eicke, A. Lewis. D. Black, E. Morasky. I. Unice E.

Highriter. The activities of the squad con- sist of ushering at all entertainments in the auditorium, taking charge of the check room during the school dances, acting as official guides for visitors on Patrons' Day and other special occasions. Everyone who attended the plays and other entertainments of the year was unconsciously indebted for part of his pleasure to the stage crew, which is directed by Mr. Nogee. It is the duty of this crew to see that the stage is properly set for all pro- grams and to arrange the settings for major dramatic and musical pro- ductions. The training these boys receive as stage hands cannot be overestimated. VVorlcing with the teachers of the manual arts courses in the construc- tion of scenery, they learn much that is of practical value to them. USHERS SQYAD First Row: E. Narsavich, president A.

The bank cashiers every week re- cei-ved the money deposited by G. A. R. pupils. Competition among home- rooms helped to raise the percentage of bankers. EYOND a doubt, this organiza- tion, whose watchword is Thrift, comprises one of the im- portant groups in G. A. R. Without the existence of this organization, many students would perhaps fail to develop a valuable habit, that of sav- ing. For the purpose of creating a greater interest in the weekly bank day, the bank cashiers used the idea of competition by awarding thrift banners to the homerooms having the largest number of bankers each week. A feature of this contest was the ex- citing battle waged among the sen- ior homerooms for the senior high school banner. First Row: G. Jones, M. Kellie, J. Peters, C. Butruce, I. Herstek, A.

DIVISION of the cafeteria patrol is the table patrol, an import- ant organization, who help to see that the cafeteria is clean and orderly at all times. Each junior high school homeroom teacher appoints one patrolman to aid hir. Pelton, the adviser, in keep- ing the cafeteria clean during the hrst two lunch periods. Each patrol- man is responsible for one table. The members are checked and as- sisted in their work by two captains for each' lunch period. A record is kept in the cafeteria indicating the condition of each table. The squad accomplishes its task so eliiciently in junior high school that it is not necessary to continue this work after reaching senior high. As a reward for service a certifi- cate is given for each year and a shield is presented to students at the completion of six semesters' service. The Minutes ...stand approved when the home- room secretaries have prepared them, since they learn to perform this duty efficiently. RIMARILY a study group, the homeroom secretaries are or- ganized into a club with a very def- inite ai-m: to learn how to record the minutes of business meetings. , The membership consists of the homeroom secretaries of both junior and senior high school. Their president is the senior secretary of student council, and the adviser is lldiss lylulhern. The homeroom secretaries meet once a month, on the Friday preced- ing the regular homeroom meeting. They receive instructions in the best ways of performing their duties, pre- sent questions about their work, and discuss their difficulties. ldinutes of the homeroom meetings, submitted previously by each secretary, are read and constructively criticised. The skill gained through this ac- tivity is one that the members can use to advantage in later years. First Row: R. Phillips, M. Gillespie R Pahlei Q Olson . ' ', .. . , J. Anthony, R. Greenwalt, M.

Although they hold no official meetings, the captains, to- gether with their sponsor, hold con- sultations whenever the need is ap- parent. Their work consists of a thor- ough check of the lunch permits of all pupils going to and returning from lunch, they also see to it that pupils who do not have permits do not stray from the school grounds. The lunch permit checkers are an important part of that branch of stu- dent government that is the cafeteria patrol. Their final reward is ashield, given by the school to each one who has completed six semesters of ap- proved service. Classes Go On . . .for some, while others eat, dur- ing one of the three lunch periods. S0 the cafeteria patrol see that no lunching students interfere with classes by walking in the halls Where classes are in session. ITH several hundred hungry pupils going into the cafe- teria at the beginning of three sep- arate lunch periods, it is necessary to have some system for maintaining order. This duty devolves upon the cafeteria patrol, under the supervi- sion of lVIr. Felton and the odicers of the squad. This activity, like other student government positions, offers to its members an opportunity of develop- ing and exercising the 'quality of leadership. A certificate is awarded each year to the students who have served on this squad, and a shield is given to seniors for six semesters' service. First Row: M. VVood, A. Richards V. Cera, M. Murray, F.

Varsity rchestra These senior high school students played for senior assemblies and for all evening entertainments. A pin is their reward for faithful service. HE varsity orchestra, which occupies a place of promi- nence in the extra-curricular activi- ties, is composed of students who are members of senior high school. Under the direction of hir. Rob- erts, th-is group of instrumentalists met every Wednesday seventh period to hold their rehearsals. They played for various a s s e m bl y programs throughout the year, and on such special occasions as the Christmas play, the senior play, the musical comedy, and commencement. The chief contribution of the var- sity orchestra, however, was to fur- nish music for senior high school chapel exercises. The main object- ive of this group of musicians was to improve instrumental music in G., A. R. and to demonstrate to their fel- low students the value of a know- ledge of music. In recognition of their service, the senior members of the varsity or- chestra are awarded a gold pin at the end of their senior year. Membership in the varsity orches- tra is of great value, since the mem- ber gets needed experience in playing with other musicians. Only a few seniors will graduate this year, while several ninth-graders will be eligible to join the group next year, thus forecasting a successful season. unior Orchestra ...This musical organization pro- vides a training ground for young players. LTHOUGH quite a number of the members in this musical organization had not had any prev- ious experience in an orchestra be-- fore coming to G. A. R., under the direction of hfliss Pugh they have be- come an active part of the school. Composed of students from the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades, the junior orchestra provided the music for the junior high school chap- el exercises, for assemblies, and for special occasions. Their extraordi- nary activities included a part in the Patrons' Day program, and in a mu- sical that was given for the parents earlier in the year. They also played for programs presented by other schools at G. A. R. The meetings of the junior orches- tra were held in the school auditor- ium every Thursday seventh period, where they practiced hard in prep- aration for their programs. It was the aim of this youngest group of musicians at G. A. R. to play so well that when called upon they would be ready. At the end of the year a certificate is awarded to everyone who has been a member of the orchestra for three years. SENIOR ORCHESTRA 7F11-st Row: D. Kaplan, A. Siegel, E. Third Row: N. Ametrano, F.

QQ H OEEPING abreast of the times, the VVilkes-Barre c i t y schools this year instituted a new and important project. This was Safe- ways, organized under the sponsor- ship of the department of physical education, Mr. Jones being the ad- viser in G. A. R. The object of the organization is to teach the members the safe way of doing things, to make them safety- conscious so that they will take pre- cautions for their own safety and that of others at all times. In all schools each homeroom was organized as a safeways club, with a president, vice-president, and secre- tary. At the monthly meetings the members discussed a definite phase of safety education suggested by the safety directors. The central organization, known as the safety counci-l, was made up of the presidents of the various home- 1'oom safety clubs. One member was selected to act as the safeways repre- sentative in student council, and also as the G. A. R. representative on the VVilkes-Barre city schools Safe- ways commission, which was com- posed of one representative from each school in the city. SAFETY First llnw I Wvilliams M Bi nel . . : 1.

Watts, was composed of fifteen members, the best students of the senior class who were taking second-year typing. During Monday activity period, these students were offered a further knowledge of sec- retarial work and artistic typing, which could not be obtained during class periods because of lack of time. These members formed one of the most useful organizations of the school. They tabulated results of various tests, took care of the BLUE AND GRAY mailing lists, and made stencils of tests for different depart- ments. During the club period, the members also held contests among themselves. g During the club meetings, the members improve their typing and so get a knowledge of one phase of secretarial work. This experience enables them more easily to find a position after leaving school. SENIOR GIRLS' GLEE CLUB First Row: A. Nevitskey, M. Mosko- witz, R. O'Connor, M. Jacobs, secretary: R.

The senior boys, glee club, with- out thei-r attractive mascot, combine with the girls' glee club in all their activities. HE senior boys' glee club, which is comprised of tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grade boys, is sponsored by QMr. Roberts. The boys' club and the girls' club usually com- bine their meetings, and annually they present a musical comedy. This year they chose The Belle of Bag- dad as their production, and the merry songs and gay dances still re- main in the students' memory. The real work of this club comes during practice for their musical comedies, ,when, for over a month they practice daily, and when, during the last few weeks they even rehearse in the evenings. As a result of these extensive preparations, their produc- tions are always marked as excellent and are always well received by capacity audiences. This year the club also entertained on Patrons' Day with a few selections from their musicale. Mr. Roberts chooses the members of the club with great care and helps them to develop their voices through exercises in proper breathing, enun- ciation, and volume control. When h-.M ,B,, .,,,,,, M., , if not practicing for the musical com- edy, the club study four-part, choral, and classical music. The members of the glee club be- sides gaining enjoyment from their singing, also gain real experience in choral singing so that they often are able to join an adult organization after leaving school. Prima Donnas .. .in the making, these senior high school girls practice twice a week. They take part in a musical comedy near the end of the year. HE senior girls' glee club was comprised of girl-s from the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grades, and met on each hflonday and Thurs- day during activity periods. Although the girls, glee club was a separate organization from the boys' glee club, the two clubs held many combined meetings. The aim of llflr. Roberts, who sponsored these groups, was to de- velop the students' voices for choral music, semi-classical and classical. During club meetings he instructed the members in proper breathing and correct methods of singing. This year as a fitting climax to their club activities the combined clubs presented i'The Belle oi Bag- dad, a musical extravaganza. This year's group of girls in the girls' glee club proved no exception to the rule that members of the sen- ior girls' glee club are not only good singers, but are also pretty. Their part in the musical comedy added much to make it a finished perform- ance. Also, the stage presence that they acquire in their presentations is of much value to them in later life.

New uniforms featur- ed this season. HE G. A. R. cheerleaders in- troduced many things to the football fans this year. Resplendent in their new white uniforfns, these five boys added much color to the football games. lt was their duty to direct the or- ganized cheering of the students. For this purpose new cheers were given to the students. The cheerleaders this year also used a tumbling trick on the school cheer, which entertained everybody. l 1 5 CHEERLEADERS ' Francis SClllllGl', Henry Skobodzlnskl, Nicholas Macrl, Jenkin Lake, Edward Narsavlch Shades of Sousa Attractive uniforms, snappy marching drills, and new songs, all made this a successful band year. Two concerts finished the season for the boys in blue. NY boy at G. A. R. who shows promise of playing any kind of band instrument is immediately taken under the wing of the band leader, lllr. Roberts, to be groomed for a place in the G. A. R. band. Dressed in their uniforms, consisting of blue trousers and Capes trimmed in white, the band played at all foot- ball games, where they added much color as well as cheer to the grid- iron contests. One of the high-lights of the past school year was the excellent evening program, Words and lWusic, pre- sented by the band, in conjunction with the ninth and tenth grade dra- matic club. The program for the concert was made up of several class- ical numbers, a solo by a member of the band, and a comedy number that provided merriment for the whole audience. Later in the year, on April 26, the band played before the northeast district convention of the Pennsyl- vania State Education Association, which was held at lVIeyers High School. On Bday 1, five members of the band, accompanied by Mr. Rob- erts, went to Susquehanna Univers- ity, where the boys represented G. A. R. in a huge band consisting of the best players from hi gh schools throughout Pennsylvania. This year's group of musicians turned out to be the finest in many years, and all of their programs were greeted with enthusiasm. As there are only three seniors in the band, practically all of the members will return next year. The aim of this group is to become fine musicians, and so to further the advance of music appreciation in their school. First Row: R. VV9lliVGl', T. Mastro, E Amaitis, E.

This club gives training to young- sters with talent in dramatics. HE Jolly Entertainers is a title that well describes the youngest actors of our school, stu- dents from the seventh and eighth grades. Each week this club, spon- sored by llliss Brown, met in their club room and presented a program of dancing, singing, and readings. These entertainments helped to de- velop talent and to cultivate self- confidence in the young performers. In commemoration of the birth- day of George Washington, the jolly Entertainers presented a play, en- titled The General Goes Home, to the junior high school assembly. Their first venture promised succes- ful material for future pr-oductions. Wfahwahtassec ...or Girl Reserves, add much to the social side of extra-curricular life. Senior high school girls com- pose the membership. HE Wahwahtassee Girl Re- serves have rounded out this year a full season of joyous times. Initiation, followed by the candle- light ceremonial, at which the new members take the pledge of a Girl Reserve, started the year. Then came a Christmas party, a roller-skating party, a scavenger hunt, sight-seeing trips, and a dance, which served to bring together the students of the three city high schools and to estab- lish among them a more friendly spirit and a feeling of goodwill. During the year, the girls also held a lllother-Daughter tea, which served to bring the mothers into clos- er contact with the work and play of their daughters. The more serious side of their activities included mem- bership in certain interest groups, meeting at the Y. VV. C. A., at which time they had discussions on dancing, dress, use of cosmetics, and health. One of the high-lights of the year's program was an interesting health talk given to the members by Dr. Crittendon, director of Kirby llflem- orial Health Center. GIRL RESERVES First Row: A.

The club this year was composed of fifty members of the eleventh and twelfth grades. Many of the seniors were members in their junior year also, and the rest were selected, by means of try-outs, from a large num- ber of applicants. The club's first production forthe year was the Armistice Day program, a simple but impressive program of readings and music, dedicated to the memory of soldiers killed in the war. The Christmas play, entitled The Silence of God, portrayed a dramat- ic incident of Christmas eve. With the mysticism of a mediaeval relig- ious legend, it made a strong appeal for peace and fair dealings among all nations and all men. The club members also presented to senior high school assembly a short skit, 'iThe Vaudeville Agency, con- sisting of miscellaneous numbers. A number of the senior members of the club earned parts in the sen- ior play, Polly with a Past, which was coached by llliss Edwards.

The members devoted some meetings to theory work in shorthand, and at other times took dictation and trans- scrihed their notes in the typewriting room. During the year most of the mem- bers succeeded in winning standard awards given for proficiency in short- national hand. Nfembership in a honorary society was gi-ven to those required whose notes reached a standard, and the complete theory certificate was awarded to students who qualified in the final test.

The membership is limited to forty-eight students, and consists only of those persons Who, instead of shops, art, or other special subjects, are studying library work as a part of their prescribed course. The course, which carries the same credit as any other one-hour subject, includes regular lessons in the theory of library work and practical experi- ence in the school library. The mem- bers learn by doing, the schedule being so arranged that there is at lea-st one club member working in the lfbrary during each class period. All members, at various times, serve also during activity period, and be- fore and after school. They perform all the routine work of the library and read the shelves every day. llflany members have gained so much exper- ience in library work as a result of belonging to this club, that they are able to obtain jobs in outside libraries.

K. stands for Klever Artists Klub, which is quite apt, since the members are clever, are artists, and have formed a club. Mr. Murray has always been their sponsor. HEN you saw the elaborate multi-colored posters and banners displayed in the lobby and throughout the school, you were viewing the brain children of hir. Murray and his Klever Artists Klub proteges. The advertising of plays, athletic contests, and campaigns, by means of these posters, is a valuable contribution of the K. A. K. to the school. This year twenty students of the eleventh and twelfth grades who show special talent in drawing, com- posed the club. Having mastered the fundamentals of art, they proceeded to more advanced work, such as the painting of landscapes and portraits. The construction of grotesque masks occupied several meetings. An interesting project of the year's work was the designing and carving of signet rings from light wood, each ring being inscribed with the letters K. A. K.. and the owner's initials. These Kiev-er Artists learn their art from a man who has a published -book on drawing and who has years of experience behind him. Because of this, when they leave G. A. R., the K. A. K. members are well- versed in art. They Pull Strings ...in order to guide their puppets, but members of the marionette club also make their dolls and take the speaking parts. HE members of the marionette club, the former junior art club, became so much interested in their project of making marionettes last year that they decided t-0 con- tinue it this year and also to change the name of their club. Last year bliss Evans, sponsor of the club, directed them in all the steps of making and manipulating the marionettes, and Miss Lord coached them in the production of the play. In iylay they gave their first present- ation, which was so successful that the young puppeteers were invited to give it for various organizations out- side the school. This year they made new charact- ers and settings for their spring pre- sentation, two plays, The King of the Golden River, and The Scare- crow VVho Wished for the ll-Toon, which were given on Patron's Day and at assemblies for junior and sen- ior high school. WVork in the marionette club gives the members experience not only in handling the puppets but also in speaking the lines of the actors in character, and they performed the double task with great skill.

The main aim in life of the girls' ping-pong club was to become expert enough in the game to defeat the boys. HE girls' ping-pong club, spon- sored by bliss Nlulhern, was composed of eighteen Latin students from the eleventh and twelfth grades. Every Wednesday during activity period the sound of the small cellu- loid ball bouncing rhythmically back and forth over the net was heard in the shop lecture room. This year a plan was devised whereby each girl had a chance to play with every other member of the club. The girls' aim was to become so skillful in the art of playing ping- pong that they could challenge and defeat the boys' ping-pong club. For many years the G. A. R. girls who were taking Latin, envied the boys of the Latin classes, since the boys had formed an exclusive ping- pong club. The members of the male sex, with their usual boastfulness, bragged about their exploits and about how they had defeated the so- called champion, until the girls, be- came angry, and revolted. The result was their own ping-pong club, which they started last year, and which has increased in popularity ever since. VVhen that day comes when the boys are defeated the girls will consider their life a success. GIRLS' PING-PONG CLUB First Row: M. Jones. E. NVeinstein, i Sc-cond Row: V. Traplo. V.

Q l49l whom were members of the boys' ping-pong club. Sponsored by lllr. ltdiller, the club met in the shop lec- ture room every Thursday activity period. lklost of the members have shown a great deal of improvement in their style of play since joining this club, and so have become a great deal more'experienced at the game. They trained hard for their matches while poring over the difficult passages of Virgil, and claimed that they could beat the girls with their eyes closed and with one hand tied behind the back. The members of this club took a great deal of interest in the tourna- ment, in which all three members of the faculty were defeated by the stu- dent winner. Tournament games were marked by keen rivalry among the participants, who gave their ut- most to win each game. The club owns a regulation size ping-pong table, and many nets, paddles, and balls. Well equipped with the necessities of,a good ping- pong club, it is the aim of the mem- bers to become expert players while enjoying themselves at this widely popular game. .

They tried various schemes throughout the year and succeeded in many. Anything goes- QD'-g7ERSATILITY is the keynote of this unusual club, sponsored by lifiiss Phillips. Everything from the proverbial soup to nuts was discussed at their meetings each Tues- day activity period. When you read the daily excerpt on the bulletin board in the main lobby you became acquainted with one of their many activities. i This club, which comprised both boys and girls of the seventh and eighth grades, kept scrap ,books of motion picture stars, aviation, manu- facturing, advertising, quotations, in fact, of anything which won the in- terest of the members. They ex- changed among themselves novel bits of material, stamps, and interesting toys. The newspaper which this club published near the end of the year has given the members practical val- ue in this line of work so that they will be able to be more experienced and will have a better chance to get on the BLUE AND GRAY staff in a few years. Their various scrap books will give them a vast store of know- ledge on interesting things which will be of use to them from time to time. All's Well . . .that ends well, and the story tell- ing club, with their endless narra- tives, had a happy ending to their year's activities. RULY a social group, the story telling club, composed of eighth grade students, and sponsored by Miss lifloses, held interesting meetings throughout the year. When the club convened each Tuesday, every member answered the roll call with a quotation. The members then related true or fictitious stories, or gave book reports on children's cur- rent literature. During the Christmas holidays the club held a contest among the mem- bers and offered a prize to the one who story. Besides pleasure, the story tellers feel that they have gained a wider knowledge of literature, ease and skill in telling a story, and a better understanding of what makes a good book report. The weekly quotation that each member brings in adds much to his knowledge of important things and teaches him to express him- self more clearly. The recital of a story every Week teaches the mem- bers to talk pleasantly and to make themselves understood. Besides all of this, the pleasant contact gained by this group gives each member poise and sociability. could tell the best Yuletide ODDS AND ENDS CLUB First Row: R. Uilman, L. Jones, K. Freund, H.

The chess club completed an in- teresting season, having held two elimination tournaments. lVIember- ship was open to all comers. Q ORMERLY restricted to boys of the senior class, the chess club this year was opened to all boys and girls of high school. Under Mr. Herman's sponsorship for the first time, these si-xteen chess enthusiasts completed a highly successful year, having held two tournaments. These tournaments were held at the weekly meetings and all members participat- ed. They were conducted on an elim- ination basis. The few members who were nov- ices at chess in the beginning of the year were taught the fundamentals of the game and through frequent prac- tice became experienced players. The chief aim of the club is to provide recreation for the members and to give them experience in the game of chess. lVIany people are of the opinion that chess, one of the oldest intellect- ual games known, is an almost un- rivaled method of developing the mind, and if this is so, the members of the G. A. R. chess club are get- ting a desirable benefit as a result of their membership. This game also affords a pleasant recreation and di- version to one who learns the tactics thoroughly.

The club was divided into two sec- tions, there being an eighth grade and a ninth grade unit, each organized separately with its own officers. At the club meetings on lllonday afternoon, the members exchanged stamps and stamp news. They devis- ed a novel manner of exchanging stamps, which was to have each mem- ber place an envelope containing stamps in a box, and then to draw the envelopes from the box in grab bag fashion. Through this club the members enjoyed learning interesting details about the countries of the world, their history, their languages, and their monetary systems. There were forty stamp albums in the club, one member owning four. Contests to find old, odd, or beauti- ful stamps were held, and during one of these contests a really valuable stamp was discovered. Since Stamp collecting is a hobby which finds addicts throughout the world, the G. A. R. club serves as a convenient place for the members to exchange, sell and buy stamps. For this reason, membership in the club is worthwhile to stamp collect- ors. TIVELFTH GRADE KNITTING CLUB First Row: M. Hughes, M. Ponting, M. Ferris, R.

These girls, known as the senior limit-Wits, have knitted brightly-colored indi- vidual sweaters, twin-sweater sets, gloves, pocket-books, and suits. ln celebration of the Yuletide season, the members held a Christmas party in their regular meeting, which all the members enjoyed. On Patrons' Day they exhibited their beautifully knitted handiwork. Before the annual event, a prelim- inary display and contest was pre- pared for the club members, and the girls chose the winning entries for Patrons' Day by ballot.

URNING back the pages of time to when grandma was a girl, twenty-three girls from the eleventh grade, interested in the old- fashioned pastime of knitting, organ- ized this year the eleventh grade girls' knitting club, under the spon- sorship of lbliss Dembitz. Every Wednesday' during activity period, the members worked steadily. and produced before the end of the year many beautifully-knitted scarfs, pocketbooks, and sweaters. The mem- bers who had previously known how to knit became more skillful as the year progressed, while those who were not familiar with the art of knitting, learned it.

In the club room, the sound of knit, purl, knit, intermingled with the clicking of knitting needles, re- sounded, as the girls knitted on their various projects. Purses, sweaters, and bedroom slippers were proudly placed on exhibition for Patrons' Day. The club furnished recreation for the girls while giving them a chance to knit useful articles.

HE junior knitting club, the only knitting organization in G. A. R. which admitted members from junior high school, was com- posed of thirty girls from seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth grades. Under the guidance of Miss Reedy the club met every Tuesday activity period. During the club hour, the girls used many brightly-colored balls of yarn in knitting pocketbooks, skirts, and sweaters. ln making these articles, the members tried many dif- ferent and intricate patterns. As a climax to their year's activities, the girls held a party. The varied membership in this club gave the members a chance to compare diiierent ideas on the styles of knitting. adviser. gorski.

VERY Thursday during ac- tivity period, twenty-six eighth grade girls, under the guid- ance of bliss Rosser, met for an enjoyable time, engaged in useful occupations. These girls were in- terested in many different needle- work projects, such as embroidering samplers and scarfs with many-col- ored thread, making tatting for hand- kerchiefs, crocheting lacy gloves, and knitting ever-useful sweaters. In club meetings each member, not only became skilled in her own particular kind of needlework, but by watching the work of other mem- bers, learned how to do a number of new things. On Patrons' Day, the girls' projects were displayed. ards, C, J. Richards. i541 Splash ...is a good word to describe the scene at a meeting of the boys' swim- ming club. Races and various water games constituted their order of bus- iness. HE G. A. R. swimming club this year was under the spon- sorship of llflr. Schappert. Composed of about forty eleventh and twelfth grade boys, the club met once a Week at the Meyers High School swim- ming pool. Water games, including tag and races, were enjoyed by the members who practiced to improve their swim- ming and diving. An early attempt to teach lite-saving to the boys was discontinued later in the year when the ll-Ieyers pool was closed after it had been damaged in the flood. Weekly dues were paid, which amounted at the end of the year to one dollar. This sum was used by the club to hold an outing at Lake Carey, late in the year. The main purpose of the club is to give the boys a chance to enjoy the sport of swimming during the winter. Because of this they do not get out of practice and when sum- mer comes can continue their sport until they become really proficient swimmers.

A i551 Forty Fishes . . . filed feverishly and frequently to the swimming pool, where they en- joyed a swim. Surprisingly enough every fish can swim. , LTHOUGH there has been a G. A. R. boys' swimming club for the last three years, meeting weekly at the Meyers High School pool, un- til this year the girls did not have this privilege. Last fall, however, the girls asked to be permitted the same pleasure that the boys enjoyed. A sponsor was found in the person of Miss Gwilliam, and applications for membership were received. The applicants were more than the pool could accommodate at one time, so membership was limited to those junior and senior girls who could swim like a fish, as the club was to be purely recreational. All who could not swim the length of the lVIeyers pool were eliminated, and finally Forty Fishes were selected. Once a week thereafter the Fishes swam in the Meyers pool. The members of the club spent their time in practicing swimming and diving, and in playing water sports. rssi . Success ...crowned the venture of the senior class in dramatics. Polly with a Past, their ef- fort, was a smashing hit. 9 OLLY WITH A nAs'r, a popular three-act modern play, was splendidly enacted by the seniors of the class of 1936, on the evening of llflarch 13. Under the direction of lldiss Edwards, the young actors and actresses attained a degree of perfec- tion almost professional. The play itself is concerned with the romance of Polly Shannon por- trayed amusingly by Rachel Wil- liams. In the apartment of his two chums, Clay Collum and Harry Richardson, played by George Charles and Abe Mitchell respect- ively, Rex Van Zile, 'better known as Billy Lewis, meets Polly. In order to arouse the interest of lVIyrtle Davis, a reformer, a part taken by Ruth Owen, Rex and his chums ask Polly to pretend to be a siren who has Rex in her clutches. As the plot develops Rex ,finds that he is more interested in Polly than in Myrtle. After many com- plicating incidents have been un- raveled, the play comix to a delight- ful conclusion.

VVhen Ellen sympathizes with Eddie, he be- gins to realize what a nice girl she is.

TgQ,eQ7tli1:igipa'tic club, under the di- rectioii'3of,'llYfIiss' Lordppresented two one-act plays. Their first selection wasii The Birthday of the Infanta, a Stuart VValker dramatization of the story by Oscar VVilde. The pic- turesdue -setting of th-e royal balcony and the rich and colorful costumes of the sixteenth century provided a delightful background for the sym- pathetic portrayal of the story of the little princess and the tragic fan- tasticf' . The spoiled and selfish little prin- cess is delighted on her birthday when a hunchback, or fantastic, is brought in to amuse her, and she throws him a rose. Left alone in the room, he dances from sheer joy. Sud- denly he becomes interested in his image in a mirror, but he thinks that the grotesque creature who dances toward him is another person. Final- ly, however, he realizes the truth. Overcome with grief, he sinks to the floor and dies just as the little prin- cess returns, and, angry because he does not dance at her bidding, kicks him. ln contrast to the first offering, the second play was a modern one, Three's a Crowd, the setting being a park on a summer evening between eight and nine o'clock. A mistake in securing transfer tick- ets on the street car ,has forced Eddie, Spring Was In The Air . . . as the GARCHIVE dance was held. Appropriate decorations and popular music enlivened the affair. 65-9 NE of the finest social events of the year was the GAR- CHIVE dance, which was held April 17, under the auspices of the GAR- CHIVE staff of this 1936 year-book. Blue and gray were the colors used to decorate the girls' gymnas- ium, where the dance was held, and blue and gray programs were pre- sented to the guests, who danced gayly to the strains of a popular or- chestra. A white mantel-piece served as a background for the orchestra, and 'Hower boxes surrounded the platform. ras' i531 NH LUICS . ,i First Bow: Diaco, Stankevich, Flana- gan, S.

Alice Golembesky played jumping center, and Aldona Lisow- ski and Helen Sliker were the guards during the whole season. Side-cent- ers were Regina Stanulis and Elizaj beth Gudaitis. By graduation the G. A. R. girls' basketball team this year will lose four of its best players, Verna Kovach, captain and forward, Helen Sliker and Aldona Lisowski, guards, and Alice Golembesky, jumping cen- ter. Although the loss of these girls is regrettable, indications, if the showing of the remaining members of the team can be used as a measure, point to a team which will carry on with the same brand of basketball that has characterized G. A. R. girls' teams in the past. Girls' basketball has become very popular at G. A. R. The home games played by the girls' teams are always attended by a large crowd of students. G. A. R. girls' basketball teams, under the direction of Miss Brennan, have always played excel- lent basketball and this y-ear's team was no exception. Bliss Brennan this year also coach- ed a reserve basketball team, whose members gained much experience by playing the reserve teams of other schools.

HIS year marked the second year of the G. A. R. wrest- ling club's existence, and this year marked also the Hrst venture of the club, representing G. A. R. on the wrestling mat, into competition with other schools.: The mat game, being a new sport at G. A. R. has developed a great deal of interest among the student body. This .interest was evident in the number,-of spectators present at the practice sessions of the team, as well aszin the enthusiasm displayed by the large number of students pres- ent at the regular competitive match- es with other schools. Ninth, ' t e n t h, eleventh, and twelfth grade boys comprised the membership of this group. Some fine material from last year was available, but most of the boys were inexperi- enced this year. Nevertheless, the G. A. R. boys made a good showing, and in a few years the Garmen should be a powerful outfit. Wrestling was introduced to G. A. R. students two years ago in the from of a wrestling club. Because of the fine material available and the encouraging results 0-btained in the inter-club matches, inter-high school matches were arranged for this year. Coached by hir. VVhitney, the team engaged in bouts with ll-'Ieyers and Wilkes-Barre Township High Schools. The llieyers bouts were not ofiicially counted, but were regarded as practice sessions. The tilts with VVillces-Barre Township, though, were carried on under regulation in- ter-scholastic rules. Two bouts were held, with G. A. R. winning one and losing one.
