uyxnn- wr-I ZIP-Z0-lwOZ-7 PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASS KINGSTON HIGH SCHOOL KINGSTON, PENNSYLVANIA As has been the custom in the past, every gradu- ating class wishes to take something along with them, to recall the memories of the happiest times of their lives, so we, the Class of 1945, so desiring the same, have published this book to bring back our last four years in school. We have come a long way in life. It seems that just yesterday we entered high school. The 1945 will our our our and Yearbook, which all the members of the class long treasure, has been Hlled with the doings of class from the start of our Freshman year to last day when we finally broke open the seal of Will and declared to the public our last Will Testament. This book is dedicated to Mr. Gittens, who represents the line teachers we possessed While attending our beloved school, Kingston High. Because of the shortage of paper, the book had to be made smaller and thus, more articles had to be squeezed on fewer pages. Special mention should be given our boys in the service. Some of these boys have left quite awhile ago, feeling that their country needed them, others have left in the last few months of their senior year. We don't want ever to forget these boys who are giving so much.

JOHN GITTENS The Senior Class of 1945 has dedicated this Kingstonian to another Kingstonian, Mr. John Gittens. Mr. Gittcns has been a teacher in Kingston High School for eleven years and has enjoyed every moment of it. In this sequence of time, his teaching has covered a wide field, but to the students he is known as a physics teacher. He graduated from Kingston High School in 1924, later attending Bucknell University at Lewisburg, Penna. There he received his Bachelor of Arts degree, majoring in chemistry and mathematics. When World War H began, he did his bit. First by teaching the Air Cadets along with his regular teaching here in Kingston High School. Later, he became a member of the United States Navy. While in a difficult branch of the Navy, he was one of the outstanding sailors in his company. But due to an unfortunate mishap, he received injuries which later caused his honorable discharge. After his discharge he once again took over his teaching duties here at Kingston. Mr. Gittens, a man of tolerance and understanding, has always been ready to lend advice to any student who was ever in doubt. The departing class of 1945 leaves hoping that he will have as much success in the future as he has had in the past. CHARLES B. I-IUMPLEBY A. HARDEN COON DR. A. W. GROVER The power of education is greater than any other single force in the world. Education teaches men how to control the forces of nature and changes the thoughts and actions of man himself. The United States has learned from World War II the value of every human resource. Only through the strength of her people can a country maintain a place of leadership in the world. We cannot understand the world and its inventions in these complex times without a high degree of education. Because education is so vital to our armed forces, every individual who is instrumental in furthering the education of American youth is contributing a share toward the preservation of our precious heritage of freedom and equal- ity for all. Our School Directors realize this need for trained citizens and they are doing everything in their power to give each student in Kingston an opportunity for a profitable education. To the men on the Board of Education falls the task of directing education in the public schools of our community. These men willingly give their time and assistance to the improving of education in our town. Along with all their other duties, they hire teachers, authorize the purchase of school supplies, and maintain and repair borough school buildings. The President of the School Board, Mr. Charles B. Humpleby, is ably as- sisted by Dr. A. W. Grover, the Vice-Presidentg Mr. Arthur Powell, the Sec- retary, Mr. A. Harden Coon, Mr. Albert Fairchild, Mr. Samuel Rileigh and Mr. Edward Conrad. We of the student body wish to express our sincere appreciation to these men, who are doing all in their power toward the betterment of public school education, for only through teaching can the long campaign for human progress be won. Only men and women of ability and long vision can do the work of the schools-the making of citizens who are wise enough and brave enough to establish and maintain a dynamic world order without war. ARTHUR SAMUEL AL!IER'l' A. EDWARD MARITA HYGHES POWICLL RILEIGH l AlliCHII.DS CONRAD Clerk to School lioarrl MR. IOHN B. KENNEDY Superintendent John B. Kennedy, who came to Kingston from Columbia, Pennsyl- vania, is about to complete his third year as head of the Borough Schools. During these three years Mr. Kennedy has not only efficiently directed the school affairs, but has also taken an active part in improving the social and civic conditions in Kingston. Under his direction and with the aid of the teachers and pupils, hundreds of tons of paper and scrap metal were collected for the war effort. Since coming to Kingston Mr. Kennedy has organized and supervised the Junior Police Traffic Force in each building. These junior traffic officers direct pupil traffic at all street crossings each school day. They are a distinct aid to the Borough police and are the means of preventing accidents to pupils going to and from school. We wish Mr. Kennedy continued success in all his undertakings. MR. P. A. GOLDEN Our High School Principal, Mr. P. A. Golden, possesses the qualities that make for success as an administrator and execu- tive. He is an exponent of fairness and common sense. Because of his dignity of mind and warmth of heart he handles the problems of both teachers and students with courtesy, patience and understanding. His native integrity and good humor are two traits we have learned to depend upon. During these trying days, Mr. Golden's Wisdom and foresight have helped keep morale at a high level, and those who have entered the armed forces and institutions of higher learning are grateful for his sound advice. He enthusiastically sponsors any under- taking that will refiect glory upon Kingston High School and credit upon its faculty and students. We who attend Kingston High School are proud of its excellent educational standing made possible by its able faculty and prin- cipal. MRS. LELA HAMILTON As dean of girls, Mrs. Hamilton is an asset to our High School. She possesses that rare gift of understanding the many problems of high school girls and her spirit of friendliness and cooperation have en- deared her to all those who have sought her advice. She has ably sponsored the Girl Reserve Club and the success of its social functions testify to her splendid organizing ability and originality of ideas. As sponsor of the Junior Red Cross she has the privilege of aiding greatly in our war effort. She is especially qualified for this work which yields abundant results. Because of her lively interest this worthy organization is hailed by the entire student body. A capable teacher, and an inspiring guide, Mrs. Hamilton is held in high esteem by all of the students.

ENGLISH DEPARTMENT The English Department. under the supervision of Miss Anita Williams, is the largest department in High School. Our English studies are composed of both grammar and American and English Literature. The Freshman English curriculum is composed chiefly of grammar. Nevertheless, a little time is devoted to the study of such literature as Treasure Island . Sophomore English delves a little more deeply into the construction of letters. themes, etc. Some of the classics we studied are Tale of Two Cities and lvanhoe .

LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT One of the most active departments in the Kingston High School is the Language Department. Each lan- guage teacher, aside from his customary teaching ac- tivities, takes a great interest in her particular club, such as: Latin Club, Pan-American Club, German Club, and Le Cercle Francais. The Latin course acquaints the students with Latin grammar, Caesar, Cicero, and Virgil, in that order. Besides giving the students a foundation of Spanish, this course includes an intensive study of grammar, prose reading, and free composition. The German classes aim to develop the students abil- ity to read and speak the German language intelligently and diligently. Grammar, translations, supplemented by short stories compromise the study of French. In almost any occupation, the pupil will find his knowledge of a foreign language invaluable. C0 MMERCIAL DEPARTM ENT The war, although it brings with it disaster and de- struction, does some good in its own way. lt has taught us to be more conscientious and sensitive, to the task that lay before we students, who will play a major part in the reconversion program. The Commercial Depart- ment certainly does its all to lead students on the road to success. l We were sorry to lose two valuable teachers-Mrs. B. Shepherd and Miss E. Davenport. They have been very capably replaced by former graduates of Kingston High School-Miss Kane and Miss Darrow, respectively. It is through the efforts and under the guiflance of the entire Commercial Department that students have the desire and the ego to make a success of themselves in their business careers. SCIENCE DEPARTMENT Kingston High School is fortunate in having such a comprehensive and well-organized Science Department. During this period of war. and in the time of peace to follow, the world's progress will be dependent upon the advancement of science. Kingston High School is pre- paring its students to fit into this age of science by offering a chance to study under trained and capable supervision. The course ofered to Freshmen is General Science which takes from the special branches of sciences what we should know about our environment. Biology, the study of plants and animals, is offered to Sophomores. ln the Junior and Senior years, the course in science broadens, and four branches are presented: Chemistry, physics, aeronautics, and senior science. Thus we see that Kingston High School is fully capable to send each student into the world possessing a knowledge of the fundamentals of science.

Second RowgMiss F. Jones, Mrs. Toole, Miss McHugh. MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT Mathematics is the root of all the sciencesg therefore it is a necessity for any student wishing to enter the fields of science and engineering. Mathematics has always been an important subject. This has been brought to the notice of the student rather graphically by the present coniiict, for mathe- matics is necessary for advancement in the armed forces. In Kingston High School the Mathematics Depart- ment, under the capable direction of Mr. Piccone, aided by a competent staff of teachers, is geared to the needs of today and provides as complete a course as is found in any high school. ARTS DEPARTMENT The contributions of the Arts Department are of such educational and material value as to make Kingston High School outstanding. Under the able direction of Miss Mildred Edwards, the Art Department has proved itself of cultural and moral worth. Achievements of the Home Economics Department, headed by Miss Bush cannot be surpassed. The Industrial Arts Department, headed by Mr. Keef- cr is molding our boys of today to be leaders of to- morrow. The musical developments which have been accom- plished by the band and the orchestra under Mr. Netter and the vocal classes under Miss Turner will be an everlasting inspiration to us all. The library, in charge of Miss Williams is the founda- tion for the literary background of the school, serving as a primary source of information and knowledge. PH YSICAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT At the present there is a great need for the physical training of the youth of our country. As a result many high schools have developed a physical fitness program. Our school was no exception. Under the capable leadership of physical education teachers, Joe McCracken. Don Hilbert, and Harold Pugh, the boys are getting set for the job that they will be expected to do in the future. Qualities of leadership and character are brought out in the various drills participated in by all the boys. The boys all take an active part in marching drills, exercises, and tests of individual strength and ability. The girls, under the supervision of Miss Harriet Gross are doing much the same work as the boys are doing. They participate regularly in exercises of all sorts. Our physical education teachers this year are to be highly commended for the fine work they are doing in the attempt to prepare our youth for the future. SOCIAL SCIENCE DEPARTMENT Kingston High School can well be proud of her Social Science Department headed by Mr. James Jones. In times like these, social studies cannot be stressed too strongly. It is important that young people of today have a full understanding of historical and civil prob- lems of the world. Because of careful guidance given by capable teachers, any graduate from Kingston High should have the knowledge that enables him to cope with situations like the ones he studied in Civics, World History, American History or Problems of Democracy.

Senior Qificers The success of almost every organization is primarily dependent upon the ability of its leaders. Thus, we oi the Senior Class must rely a great deal upon our offic- ers to lead us through a successful social and financial year. Our Senior Class officers were elected at the beginning of the school year by ballot. Since there are approximately 200 students in the Senior class, all of Whom are eligible for an office, our class officers must be popular as well as competent people. The responsible position of president of the Senior Class rested in the hands of that tall, capable and in- telligent senior boy, Michael Barna. With the wonder- ful guidance of Mr. Boyer. and the aid of our Senior Executive Council, Mike . as he is called by almost all of his classmates, has done a really terrific job in leading our class and supervising most of our activ- ities. Yes, Mr. Barna has plenty of Work connected with his office, but nevertheless, he has accomplished all of his tasks remarkably well. The duties of vice-president of our class were under- taken by our energetic senior girl, Lois Schmoll. As the secretary of the Senior Class, Dolores Piccone took minutes at the Executive Council meetings, and recorded our activities for future reference. Hollis Holvey was elected to the reliable office of treasurer of the Senior Class, and he worked diligently in handling our finances and keeping our money mat- ters in good order. p Senior Executive Council The Senior Executive Council consists of a group of students elected from the various senior homerooms, to represent them and act as a policy forming committee for the Senior Class. This group is headed by a faculty advisor and the class officers. For the past several years Mr. Clyde Boyer has very capably advised and directed the activities of the Senior classes in our high school. This year has been no ex- ception as all the activities of the Class of 45 have been outstanding successes, socially and iinancially. Our able class president, Michael Barna has promoted many ideas for improving our class, and has success- fully carried the class projects with the aid of Lois Schmoll, vice-president and other members of the council. The other officers were Dolores Piccone, secretary, and Hollis Holvey, treasurer.

Such things as the celebrated freight elevator, the phantom room above the library, and purchasing tickets for chapel were among the fiendish designs originating in the minds of the upperclassmen. Lost in a maze of halls, windows, and doors, you could identify any of the Green Species by merely observing them as they peered intently behind doors for room numbers. Frequently we could be seen stealthily creeping across the forbidden front hall in mortal fear of our would-be superiors. We gaped with awe when our football team returned from Shenandoah hilariously proclaiming the title of Eastern Champs . Then came a lull in the gaity of our first year of high school-MID fYEAR.S!!l Safely but not too sanely through these tribulations, we started on the last lap of our freshman year. No truer words were ever spoken than when Sher- man gave his definition of war, but to us it was heav- enly, with unexpected days of vacation when rationing first appeared. Reentering the portals of Kingston High School as high and mighty sophomores we took it upon ourselves to impart to the green freshmen some of the devilish- ness which the upperclassmen had so graciously be- stowed upon us. We soon tired of this form of enter- tainment and settled down to a routine of football games, dances, basketball games, wrestling meets and occasionally we studied. Soon that dreaded time for exams arrived. After worrying about them for weeks, we were greatly sur- prised to discover that due to the paper shortage , we would be spared the gruesome task of wading through mid-years and finals. Since we had ascended a rung or two on the ladder of learning we were now permitted to take membership in a few of the school clubs. Some of the clubs for which we qualified were: the Library Club, the Lan- guage Clubs, and the Glee Club. Toward spring, our classes were frequently and rudely interrupted by air raid drills. Shrill sirens awakened us from the study of the great classic Tale of Two Cities . June soon rolled around and the teachers eagerly looked forward to a much needed vacation, Our junior year started OH with a bang! We were banged by the thoughts of chemistry, shorthand, and Julius Caesar! To the disappointment of all we did not elect class officers, nor did we have a Junior Execu- tive Council. However, our junior year was not an entire failure. In February try-outs were held for our Junior Play. The play selected being Junior Miss , and the leading players were Rita Kresge, Reese Finn, Ruth Sandler, Lois Schmoll, Charles Nesbitt, and Marvin Weisberger. Success of the play merited a repeat performance, with contribution of the proceeds to the National Red Cross. Conclusion of our junior year, brought to us the realization that our fourth and final year of high school had come upon us. On September 6, 1945, a tired and study-worn group of seniors entered Kingston High School for their final year of slumber. This Senior Class, starting out on the right foot, sponsored a Pigskin Prom to commemor- ate the close of a successful football season. Then came the Senior Play, which event was sched- uled for December, but due to circumstances beyond our control, it was postponed until January twenty-sixth. The play, entitled And Came The Spring , had a large cast including: Rita Kresge, Lee Carter, Jeanne Lou Connors, Reese Finn, Marie Berry, Dorothy Gavanus, Jane Ann Bush, and Michael Barna. Again the basketball team and the wrestling squad came to the fore. The basketball team almost reached the top except for the loss of a few games. Neverthe- less the wrestling team went over the top by attaining the Wyoming Valley Championship Award. In the early part of February, the Senior Class be- gan to sponsor a series of Friday night sport dances. On March third the Lions Club provided additional social activities for Kingston youngsters by -sponsoring a Youth Center , open Tuesday and Saturday evenings. The boys gym was opened for games such as. ping- pong and shuifleboard, while the girls gym was used for dancing. The juke box was very much appreciated by the student body. The Senior Class then launched the wild turmoil known as preparing for graduation. Orders were taken for name cards and announcements as well as individ- ual pictures. This preparation was rudely interrupted by the Star Dust Revue, but we were soon into the swing of things again when we were measured for our caps and gowns. However, graduation was not complete due to the absence of several members of our Senior Slass. To these boys, Patrick Pat Gaughan, David Dave Hoeschle, Ralph Katrosh, Leonard Lenny Bellas, Ed- ward Spook Connor, Francis Frank Czarniak, Don- old Don Ankudovich, John Poznak, Milan Shep Shepherd, David Bubbles Powell, Joseph Joe Shut- lock, James Nimmer Evans, John Gresh, William Scove Connors, Anthony 'iTony Groblewski, Francis Wizard Gildea, William Bill Goodwin, we send sin- cere and hearty thanks for their unselfish service to their country and class. Good luck, best wishes, and a fervent. prayer from classmates that God may speed their safe return.

Rehearsals were held weeks in advance and everything possible was done to make this program one of the best ever presented in Kingston High School. Th program was presented twice, The first time during one of our regular chapel periods for the student body, and on the following Sunday for the public. It was greatly enjoyed by both audiences and much credit should be given Miss Dorothy Turner without whose patient guidance it could not have been accomplished. The high spot of the program was the presentation of the Cantata- pageant, The Wondrous Story , by the Glee Club. The pageantry, which was very well done, was under the capable direction of Miss Edythe Dickover and added greatly to the enjoyment and understand- ing of the cantata.

CLUB PRESIDENTS No matter how hard we try not to remember school during the summer, there are certain things that set us to wondering and make us wish that school would start soon again. Naturally some of us are wondering if that certain someone is still true, but there are others. who are looking forward to the formation of the various clubs, and speculating asvto who the presidents will be. It isn't long before we find out and start planning the clubs activities. In Kingston, this year, we were fortunate in having a host of capable pres- idents. Due to their untiring efforts, and with the help of the rest of us, we enjoyed a successful club season. Several clubs put on programs in chapel, some held dances, and others helped considerably to promote the general wel- fare of the school. Monday was widely known as club day . The different clubs placed on a rotating schedule met about once a month. There we discussed different things pertaining to the club and make plans for the future. We would like to commend the club sponsors for their great work and understanding resourcefulness, and to congratulate the presidents on a job well done.

A ssociate Editor Bernard Palenchar .. ,,,..-.--,---- AIT Edifllfl' In the early part of our Senior Year, the newly elected Senior Executive Council receiving its first assignment, nominated several members of the Sen- ior Class for the various offices of the Yearbook Staff. After much consideration, the Senior Class elected Ray McGrellis, Editor-in-Chief, Charles Nes- bitt and Patricia Ludorf, Associate Editors, Dorothy Ancin, Typing Editor, Boyd Earl, Circulation Man- agerg Rita Kresge, Business Managerg and Doris White, Advertising Manager. The staff made a resolution to try and make this the best yearbook ever to emerge from the portals of K. H. S. This being the fourth Yearbook since the begin- ning of the war, the staff was confronted with more problems than had ever faced an editorial staff. But under the careful eye of Mr. Hankey, all problems were met with a smile. With the scarcity of paper, etc., we were able to present this fine yearbook only under the tireless work of our advisor. The special feature department was headed by the talented artist, Bernard Palenchar, and pho- tographer, Bob Powell. Rather than a lot of type, the staff thought it would be appreciated more, if action shots of our former classmates were presented as they did things while attending K. H. S. To create more enthusiasm in the 1945 Yearbook, pictures of the clubs and various sport events were exhibited in the labrary. Each homeroom in the school was visited by a member of the Business Staff and programs were given in Chapel to promote the sales of the Yearbook. The staff, ably assisted by Dorothy Golden, Bruce Zweier, Jane Ann Bush, and also Andrew Sabonis who headed the sports department, wishes to thank all who helped in any way. H-4 HI-I FU -I-I F-I CD F5 U2 CD Flash! You've read the headlines haven't you? Yes, our Kingstonian newspaper has really featured everything our student body would wish to read. It carried you to the football field, down the basketball floor, to the wrestling mats, through victories and defeats. It told you how to look smart and be up to date on fashions , f It even informed you what was happening around the gossip corner. Our photographer, Robert Powell, gave to you a streamlined group of pictures. All this was made possible by our efficient editor, Ann Marie Brennan. She made the assignments and her eficient editorial staff rushed about gathering the news and complet- ing it with full details. After the editorial staH had this accomplished the typing staff went into action. If you have passed the typing room at the end of a month you would hear the 'tclick-click of the typewriters. Yes, our typing staff worked diligently getting the paper ready for the publisher in order that the issue would appear at the regular time. You have noticed the clever ads adorning the last pages of the paper, and wondered who went about getting them. Well! we have what you call a business staff managed under the able supervision of Patricia Ludorf and Elbert Wolfe. They, with a business-minded staff, went from place to place get- ting the ads which make our paper possible. All the staffs could not have possibly succeeded without the capable guiding and advice of our ever- willing advisors, Mr. Brenner, Mr. Bennett, and Mr. Anthony. As a result of the wonderful cooperation of the staffs, editors, and advisors, the Kingstonian newspaper has had a successful year. We have suc- ceeded in keeping you informed and holding the pop- ularity we have always possessed. NEWSPAPER EDITORIAL STAFF First Ron' lleft to right!-S. Adams, R. Bellas, Y. Ungar. C. Mittelman R.

Bush, IET RS The Kingston High School Chapter of the Na- tional Honor Society has as its requirements for membership four qualities which would form an excellent foundation for any phase of good citizen- ship or community life. They are scholarship, lead- ership, character, and service. Only the upper fifteen per cent of each senior class are eligible for mem- bership. These high admission requirements make for keen competition among the students. The Honor Society has various parties through- out the school year. Included this year in its social events were a party at the Y. M. C. A, in February and the annual outing at the close of school in June. The members of this organization are privileged to be ushers at many of the school affairs, such as: the Senior Play, the Star Dust Revue, and the Band Concert. Each year, with money taken from its treasury, the Honor Society awards five dollars to the fresh- man girl who attains the highest scholastic average. The Honor Society has as its sponsor one of our most capable teachers, Miss Freda Jones. We, the members, are sincerely grateful to her for the time and effort she has so willingly given to make our club a success. We want to express our deep appre- ciation to her for her interest and cooperation.

Williams, the Library Club has completed another successful year. Assisting Miss Williams were Mrs, Barbara Reynolds and those sophomore, junior, and senior students who had met the necessary requirements. Persons aspiring for membership in the Library Club must pass an examination after being instructed by older members in the club. Each member is re- quired to work one period a week at the various operations necessary to the library. The club officers: President, Bruce Zweierg Vice- President, Jane Korperg Secretary, Dolores Piccone, and Treasurer, Ann Zekauskas planned and carried out many interesting activities and club meetings. Some of these were the Annual Christmas Party which was held in the library amid colorful decora- tions. Refreshments were served after entertain- ment by talented members of the club. The club sponsored a very successful sport dance in November. The profits were spent on the postage fund of the Lettermen's News, the June award and the annual outing in June. This year, as every year, the members eagerly looked forward to the annual outing in June honor- ing the senior members of the club. SENIOR LATIN CLUB I First Row tleft to rightjflf. Grouver. M.

Harold Landau Patrick Gaughan entered the United States Army in January, 1945, and Dorothy Golden was elected to serve as secretary for the rest of the year. Since that time about five other boys from the club have entered the Armed Forces. A committee consisting of Laura Jane Jones, James Boyle, and Joseph Roman revised the Con- stitution after it had been discussed by the club. The revision provided for a Junior and Senior Latin Club. Our first social activity of the year was a Tea Dance held in the girls' gym in December. Follow- ing this were several other social gatherings through- out the year. Quay Stine was chairman of the Social Activities Committee. As was customary each year, the Latin Club presented several awards at the end of the school year. Five dollars was given, through the Honor Society, to the freshman boy having the highest average in all of his subjects. Five dollars was given to the student having the highest average in four years of Latin. And three dollars was given to the student with the highest average in three years of Latin, .cz 3 O atin L nior Se This year in Kingston High School, there was instituted a new chapter of Hi-Y. The club started when twelve sophomores and freshmen were asked to form its nucleus, in order that the lower class might have the benefit of Hi-Y. At the second meeting of the club, six new members were chosen. Eventually, we hope to have twenty-five members. The club is associated, along with its big brother club , the Alpha Hi-Y, in the National Organiza- tion of Hi-Y Clubs. The following officers were elected to serve until June, 1945: President ........,,,.. .,,.. T ed Charney Vice-President ...... ........ D ale Griffith Secretary ......... ....,.

French students! The war will soon be over! As this goes to press we pay tribute to the boys from Le Cercle Francais who have joined all divisions of the Armed Forces. We have faith ihat they will soon return home. They have our sincere respect for their patriotic service and our earnest prayers for their safety. Mr. Mangan and many others, no doubt, are enriching their experi- ences with an inside view of France. Le Cercle Francais will not take the trip very soon because of a very patriotic bank account. We have, however, had a very successful As- sembly Program ,keeping faith with the idea that even in time of emergency The Show Must Go On We celebrated Mardi Gras, February thirteenth with an entertaining program of variety, the success of our show was helped greatly by the guiding hand of Miss Lee. Miss Lee, with Dorothy Crop, a third year French student, planned the program which in- cluded Le Cercle Francais en masse. We have plans for a spring activity which may enlarge the treasury.

Later, after some study the answer is changed to a rather indefinite Ja . The German Club is composed of members from the first and second year classes. The main purpose of the club is to create an interest in the German people, customs, and folklore, while the lesser pur- pose is for entertainment. Meetings are held once every six Weeks under the able guidance of Miss Loretta Weis. At the Christmas meeting, the immortal Christmas songs were sung. The story of Stille Nacht was im- pressively told, after which the club sang this age- old melody accompanied by the Glockenspiel. Just before the close of the meeting, the members sang the rollicking Schnitzelbank.', The second year class received a monthly news- paper written in German, Die Jugenpostf' Since our armies have been fighting in the Rhineland, the paper has particularly stressed this section, telling much of its geography, resources, industry, and lead- ing cities. Die Jugendpostu has a definite cultural value, having articles devoted to music, literature, and science. As a project, students of both classes made Christmas cards and posters illustrating the Ger- man Christmas songs and poems. These were all very attractive, and a prize was given for the best in each class. Y Besides grammar, the German course stresses the culture and folklore. In this study, the students read such famous legends as Der Mauseturmu, Die Lorelei , and Das Nibelungenliedu. Here's to ny a bigger and better Deutscher Verein .

The Pan-American Club, an organization for Spanish students has completed its thirteenth year as an extra-curricular activity of Kingston High School. Mrs. Page and Miss McHugh have been the able sponsors. The purpose of the Pan-American Club is to pro- mote in its members a friendly interest in and un- derstanding of the Latin American countries. To arouse this interest, various activities are carried out. To promote understanding, the thorough study of the Spanish language is encouraged. To know a people, one must know its language. At the December meeting, a Spanish play center- ing around the Nacimiento was presented by the members. As has been the annual custom, the min- iature replica of the manger scene was placed in the library for a period before Christmas. In all the meetings, some first hand knowledge of Spanish customs is stressed. Pan-American Day on April fourteenth is a Latin American holiday, observed by the local club. The flags of the twenty-one American republics are dis- played and a fitting program is presented before the whole student body. Programs have included speakers, movies or sketches in Spanish. To encourage the mastery of the Spanish lan- guage, at the end of the year cash prizes are given by the club to high ranking students of the subject. At Christmas, greetings were sent to ex-club members now in service, some of whom are in Latin American countries. Now, more than ever should we, the students of North American high schools strive to strengthen the ties of Good Will in All the Americans . Due to the limited field constituted by the name Civil Engineers , the name was abandoned this year and in its place we substituted the title, En- gineering Club . We did this because the new name covers a larger field and enables us to deal with each special phase of engineering. At one of our meetings Miss Jones, our sponsor, had Mr. Morgan from Bucknell University visit us. He instructed us in the use of the transit and he taught us some of the fundamentals of surveying. We intend to have many more guests at our meet- ings and intend to profit by their talks. We have also been instructed in the use of the slide rule. During the year we sponsored a dance. The money from this dance along with our club dues enabled us to buy additional equipment and have our annual outing at the end of the year. We, the senior members of the Engineering Club sincerely feel that, due to the fine instruction we have received, we will be better prepared to face the world and tackle its many problems. l-I Lil I'-1'-'l I-I li-l SS IO mor Red C lu The The Junior Red Cross of Kingston High School has been a very active organization during the past year. The membership campaign was launched dur- ing the first week of November at an assembly pro- gram. Mrs Samuel Buckman gave a short talk expressing her appreciation of the work already done. The public speaking class presented the radio play It Is Important. Miss Hooper's home room took first honors in the campaign and Mrs. Hanson's home room took second honors. Mrs. Leia Hamilton, dean of girls, is the general chairman of the organization. Utility bags and hos- pital mules were made under the direction of Miss Marion Bush and Miss Mary Kitchner. Miss Mildred Edwards, art teacher, was responsible for making 100 Christmas cards, 100 library cards and 100 birth- day cards. Miss Zawatski's homeroom made 250 bridge tallies, Miss Sweet's homeroom 100 bridge score pads, Mrs. Shultz's homeroom contributed 175 Christmas favors for the Nesbitt Hospital, Miss Weis' homeroom designed and made 100 memo pads, Miss Devendorf's homeroom made 75 Thanksgiving menu covers for the U. S. Marines. Miss Miles and Miss McLaughlin's homerooms contributed 200 Easter favors. The following home- rooms filled Christmas boxes: Miss Miles, Miss Mc- Laughlin, Miss Thompson, Miss Pritchard. The high school bought 75 decks of playing cards for U. O. centers and contributed to the children's fun . The projects this year have been carried out largely by the separate home room organizations. The Junior Red Cross Council is composed of a mem- ber elected from each home room. ics Club IH 0110 eEc III The o THE JUNIOR RED CROSS First Row lleft to 1'iLl'hlTJ'0lXX'QlI Jones.

We try to live up to our motto and hope that in future years it will be of service to us. In addition to business and social meetings, plans have been made this year to show movies entitled Fashions Favorites and Facts About Fabrics . Later a fashion show will be given. In it members of the department will model the diiferent types of clothing that they have made during the school year. Almost every day some students may be found very busy making utility bags and hospital mules to add to the comfort of our servicemen who have been hospitalized.

Another successful season has been completed by the Pi Delta. There were eleven members left from last year. From these remaining eleven the four officers were elected. The club then elected twenty live more members from the senior class. Near the end of the year twenty members of the junior class were elected to carry on for next year. The major activity of the Pi Delta this year was limited to the operation of a refreshment stand dur- ing our home football games. Due to the war the club could not hold its annual Cabaret Dance to which all the members had looked forward, hoping to make it as great a success as it always has been. A weiner roast was held at Pine Grove, a Tobog- gan Party at the Country Club after which refresh- ments were served at a restaurant in Dallas. A going away party was held for the benefit of those members that left for the Armed Forces. On the more serious side time was taken in the spring to paint and repair the score board for the next football season. A sum of money was also donated to Mr. Lundy Wright's Lettermen's News. And so to close the record on another successful year. But before doing so all the members of the Pi Delta would like to show their appreciation by thanking our capable sponsor, Mr. Victor Piccone for his patience in guiding us through this year.

At this meeting the selection of new members was also completed. Thirty-six members are now on the active roster. G. A. R. Hi-Y Club officers acted as the induction team and performed the Candle Light Induction ceremony at which time Alpha formally became aifiliated with the National and State Hi-Y Fellowship. A1pha's Induction team, composed of Ray Mc- Grellis, Mollis Holvey, Jack Connolly, Milan Shep- herd, Charles Nesbitt and Boyd Earl, and assisted by many other members of the club, have been ac- tive in performing the Candle Light ceremony of induction for the G.

Membership in this organization is open to any senior girl who wishes to join. The only rules are that she pay dues, attend three-fourths of the meetings and participate in the club activities. Mrs. Lela Hamilton, dean of girls, is the advisor for this group. Under her leadership this club has become the outstanding girl's organization in King- ston High School. The Girl Reserve slogan is: 2'As a Girl Reserve, I will try to face life squarely. Our purpose is: f'To find and give the best. Our code is: Gracious in manner, impartial in judgment, ready for service, loyal to friends, reaching toward the best, earnest in purpose, seeing the beautiful, eager for knowledge, reverent to God, ever dependable, sincere at all times. The club opened the year 1944 with a dinner served in the Y. W. C A. The candle light installa- tion service was used for the induction of officers and new members. Our guests at that meeting were: Mrs. Eleanor Morgan. Girl Reserve secretary, Miss Helen Huber. general Y. XV. C.

The Junior Girl Reserve Club was organized in September, 1944. E Previous to this year the junior and senior girls had one organization but the registration was so large that it was deemed better to form a separate club for juniors. The membership totaled 98. Miss Katherine Cronin has been the very capable advisor. With no experienced group of seniors to help them, the junors had many things to learn about the work of the Girl Reserves. The activities of the club are largely social af- fairs, but the girls also do volunteer welfare work. One activity is scheduled for each month. Among the activities held during the past school year were several parties, a Valentine Dance and a Mothers' Day Tea. The latter two were conducted jointly with the senior club. By takina an active part in club activities, the girls derive great benefits, the most important being a sense of responsibility. M. Bovard. J. Broadt, D. White, L.

The Amateur Actors Association of Kingston High School, which was formed sixteen years ago, has progressed to the point where it is an outstand- ing school club. At the present the sponsor of the Triple A is Mrs. Thomas. Under her guiding genius, many students of Kingston High have been inspired to great heights behind the footlights. Membership in the association is based entirely on competition. Juniors and seniors who show prom- ise in acting ability are chosen by Mrs, Thomas along with a membership committee. Contrary to popular opinion, one need not be a Triple A member to try outi' for either of these plays. However, all members of the cast are automatically made mem- bers of the club. Members of the Triple A usually present a few one-act plays as chapel programs. These plays have the dual purpose of entertainment, and bringing to the foreground of any real talent in the school. The casts have much fun during rehearsals, despite the fact that Mrs. Thomas demands hard work. The Triple A usually conducts an outing during the school year. This year we made plans for a tobogganing party, but the weather wouldn't act like ''behind-the-footlights-weather'' does. So, the club had the party at our Y. M. C, A., with every- one having just as much fun. And so to the future members of Kingston High School's Triple A we wish the fun, fellowship, and footlight knowledge which Mrs. Thomas has so freely imparted to us. s s Xi LE TRIP The Modern Dance Club has completed its third year with continued success and prosperity in King- ston High School and holds an enviable position be- cause this oifering of cultural development is unique in secondary institutions. Our new physical education director, Miss Harriet Gross assumed direction of the club with hesitancy, but through her eager efforts and cooperation of the few remaining members of last year's club, a great interest has been maintained throughout the year. Although this year's group was limited to juniors and seniors evidence of its popularity was displayed in the fall try-outs by the large attendance of other underclassmen. From the meetings which are held once a week club members derive much pleasure and enjoyment by rehearsing and planning new dances. Following the original plan the Modern Dance Club has pro- vided for its members refinements through acquir- ing: poise, dignity, rhythm, ease, and agility which otherwise could not be attained. As previously, this year's club has contributed demonstrations to various school functions as well as its customary part in the annual Star Dust Review. The members of this year's organization have made a diligent effort and worked faithfully in order to maintain the high standards of their predecessors with the point in view of creating new interest which would establish an even higher goal for their suc- cessors. It is our sincere hope that with our departure, inspiration has been left for future Modern Dance groups, so that this activity will steadily continue in interest and popularity thereby enabling those to come to enjoy the pleasures we are so reluctant to eave.

This year for its part of the pro- gram, the club sang the Christmas Cantata, The Wondrous Story by Richard Kountz and gave a commendable performance. Membership in this organization is open to only those sophomores, juniors, and seniors who elect to take music as a part of their regular school cur- riculum. The Glee Club has made excellent prgress along many linesg the most noticeable of these being a much finer balance between the various voices. Rehearsals were begun in February for the other club activities of the year, namely, the Star Dust Revue and Commencement. Last year the chorus gave a fine rendition of The Wedding of the Painted Doll in the revue and it is aiming even higher this year. U2 ho Ie Sopho o he T The measure of success attained by the Fresh- men Chorus last year encouraged the girls to go to Miss Dorothy Turner, our music supervisor for per- mission to continue this year as the Sohphomore Chorus. After due consideration, the girls were called together to begin rehearsal for their part in the Christmas Vesper Service. The sixty-five girls who turned out put forth a great deal of earnest effort and their rendition of Gesu Bambino by Pietro Yon received enthusiastic praises from the audience. The voices of the chorus as a whole were more mature than they were last year. The years training the girls had received un- der the direction of their capable leader was very much in evidence and each and every member showed her appreciation by singing to the best of her abil- ity. The Christmas number was artistically staged, the girls made an attractive appearance and the accompaniment by a second year girl made it an all sophomore event. Many of the girls comprising the Sophomore Chorus are members of the various church choirs and other musical organizations in Kingston and take pleasure in getting together under the auspices of the High School group. Not a few have made the Glee Club, which is an outstanding achievement for an under-classman. It goes without saying that we may expect greater things from these ambitious songsters when they become juniors. More power to the girls and their director for giving of their time and talent to such a worthwhile project. A. Super, N. Kohn, J. Mott, L. Brown, ld Davis, M. Culp. C. Mittelman, IJ. Geida, P.

It was organized at the request of the students. that they might have the experience of singing W1th.3 large choral group. Membership is open to any girl who is a member of one of the freshman music classes. It is almost needless to add that each and every girl made the most of her opportunity and joined the chorus. The numbers to be sung are learned separately by each music class and the whole group is called together for the final rehearsals. The first appearance of the chorus was at the Christmas Vesper Service which was held in the high school auditorium on December seventeenth. The girls were seated in the balcony, a novel idea in our school, and sang Silent Night and Joy To The Worldn with descants. The girls have accomplished much but their chief ambition is to have a part in the Star Dust Revue and they are working hard to attain their goal. Perhaps the best account of the Freshman Chorus is to be found in the following poem which was written by one of the girls: The Freshman Chorus of '45 was really very fine, At the Christmas Vesper Service their songs were just divine. If they should be in the Star Dust Revue No seats would be left-perhaps a few. They accomplished a lot in one little year, The girls enjoy music, so never fear- They'll be in the Sophomore Chorus next year. Do you realize the important part the Kingston High School Orchestra plays in our Alma Mater? Of course you know it is essential to our assemblies and you are no doubt thinking of its value to our senior and junior plays. Just in case you may hzue overlooked these small facts, I'm sure you will join with me and say we were well entertained. The man whom we are well grateful to for giving us this fine organization, is Mr. Willis Netter. He has entertained us with marches, and soft mellow classical selections, to the latest popular lines. Outstanding members of the orchestra are given awards each year. Our senior members are given pins and the non-senior members who completed two years of service in the orchestra are given letters on the approval of the director. So, if in later years you hear soft musical strains soaring through the air, you will know that it is the music of the Kingston High School Orchestra, try- ing to get on the beam so they will be able to enter- tain the school body. Therefore, you see, there can be no doubt as to the value of our Kingston High School Orchestra. May the High School Orchestra of the future keep up the good record that this year's orchestra has es- tablished for them. ESTR R Club CG F eshmen Sc1en I After opening the door of the physics laboratory and passing through a mixture of smoke and gases, you gaze upon the Freshmen Science Club at work. This ambitious club which meets every Monday during the activity period has Miss Marion Dunstan as their supervisor. The members of the club have chosen the following students as their officers to guide them through the year: President ...........................................,,,,.,... Bill Mulligan Vice-President ,.,.......... .....,.. M ahlon Knott Secretary ............ ,.,.. E dward Walsh Treasurer .,,.,.,,,.....,,. ...,..,,...., .... F r ank Osborne Reporter ..,.,,,,..,.,...,....,,.......l...,.........,,....., Joseph Moran When the club was first organized, the group voted to contribute to the Science Clubs of America because it was felt that much helpful information might come through such an organization. Espec- ially interesting are the Things of Science which are sent to the club each month. This keeps the group well informed on the happenings and discov- eries taking place in the world around them. Thus through research, experimenting, and guest speakers each member hopes to gain a broader knowledge in the field of science. In the beginning of the year each member chose a project of interest with which to do some research work. Some of the projects in- cluded research in the fields of electricity, chemistry, aeronautics, physics, etc. Each project will be put on display during the last weeks of school. This is the first time for a. club of this nature to be formed for freshmen in Kingston High School and the members are hoping that this will open the pathway toward the world of science for future members.

The Hobby Club is an organization which gives the boys of our school an opportunity for free ex- pression of their individual ideas. Selection of the members for the Hobby Club was made again this year through a survey of the various hobbies and after careful consideration a number of boys were selected. The club officers are as follows: Joe Roman, president, Bill Hagan, vice-president, Jim Brady, secretary, and Mike Barna, treasurer. The club holds one official meeting every month. The members may come in and work on their hobbies any evening after school. They have at their dis- posal the numerous facilities of the well-equipped shop which contains power and hand-tools suitable for construction of wood, electrical and metal pro- jects. In each department you will find a library which contains many reference books and other materials that are useful in this type of work. Some of the projects constructed were as follows: small electric motors, radio receiving sets, center punches, cold chisels, clamps, sanding drums, enfl tables, pigeon crates and snow shovels. The interest developed in the Hobby Club has had a surprising effect on the choice of the life work of these boys, and many of them after graduating from high school have either taken up further study or enlisted in the Armed Forces where they have ad- vanced to responsible positions. The club is sponsored by Mr, George W. Keefer, director of the Industrial Arts Department. G. A. A. l First Row lleft to rightj-B. Hicks, S. Evans, l B, Thomas, D. Konnick, M.

The G, A, A. is the Girls' Athletic Association of our school, It is one of the most outstanding clubs in our school. The G, A. A. has attempted to maintain high principles, ideals and standards which are set forth in its well-constructed constitu- tion. This constitution was formed and introduced at the organization of the association and is obeyed and looked-up to by each and every member of the club. In order to be a member of the G. A, A. one must have earned fifteen points. These points are gained by the participation in activities such as: varsity or reserve basketball teams, tumbling team, dancing team, cheerleading, intramural basketball, intra- mural volleyball, swimming club, basketball and tumbling managers, highest physical education aver- age, majorettes and twirlers, officiating, or by sell- ing candy for the club. Each of the said activities gives a certain number of points to help gain per- centage for membership, The G, A, A.'s purpose and cause is to help pro- mote a fine quality of sportsmanship, and also to en- courage an interest for and in school sports among the female students. The G. A. A. under the able direction of our sponsor Miss Gross has ended its third full year of existence. This year we have accomplished many good results and have added much in helping to reach the goal, that goal which stands for what the G. A, A. seeks. In every way the G. A. A. represents sports- manship plus! The officers of the G. A. A. are as follows: Pres- ident, Jane Korperg vice-president, Ruth Hendlerg secretary, Ruth Alles, treasurer, Eris Bonham. There is also an executive board which consists of one person from each class. ociation SS tic le h ' t iris The Gym Club sponsored by Mr. Hilbert is com- posed of a group of boys primarily interested in learning more about the fine art of tumbling and excelling on the various pieces of apparatus. This year's veteran club members were Supulski, Shepherd, Reese, Groblewski, Aiken, Smith, Earl, Jones, Bellas, and Strunk. Gymnastics is a sport in which the under-priv- ileged physically built boys may excel, It promotes physical development, courage, daring, and leader- ship which is vitally necessary for the continued suc- cess and well-being of the American nation's youth and future leaders. The club members staged an enjoyable chapel program and appeared in the Star Dust Revue. New members elected were freshmen and sopho- mores to insure a future well-drilled gym club team. Future plans are proposed to raise money so that each may purchase suitable gymnastic uniforms. .-Q l I5 .-I bi SWIMMING CLUB Flrsf Row lleft to rightj-C. Ruggere, S. Ilivis, J. Noyrle, M. Hanlon, J.

The club is under the able supervision of Miss Gross, as- sisted this year by three senior girls-Jean Kulina, Ann Zekauskas, and Nanette Bartow. Instead of meeting every Monday night, as was done last year, the girls met at the Y. W. C, A. every other Monday night. This carried the swim- ming program way into the spring. The system of grouping the girls' classes, accord- ing to skill in swimming, was practically the same as last year. The four groups, beginners, intermediates, ad- vanced, and the Junior or Senior Life Saving Classes met at designated times. How well the beginners remember their first strokes across the pool. At the end of the course, however, they showed great improvement. The advanced swimmers thought they would never get that right spring from the board for a perfect dive. There were plenty of belly- iioppersn at first but these Hops were soon changed to graceful jack-knives and back-dives . Junior and Senior Life-Savers, will you ever for- get those words, Approach victim, reverse, now a firm hold! More than one victim WAS doused, while a rescuer was trying new tactics in life-saving. All in all, the course was fun as well as educational We sincerely hope that further courses will be of- fered in the future. The memories of hot chocolate or a barbeque party after a cold night's swim will linger forever in the minds of all the swimmers of Kingston High.

This team is an excellent combin- ation of grace, skill, and balance, all rolled into one. Teamwork is the most important feature in building a good team. It is as essential in tumbling as in football, basketball or any other sport. livery year the team puts on an exhibition for the students and public. It usually consists of a number of circle drills, pyramids, and individual stunts. Some of these stunts would take your breath away. For instance, June Broadt dives over six or more people and through two headstandsg June Luff and Ruth Bellas do their Upaper doll as June calls it. Elaine Nagle and Eris Bonham can literally turn themselves inside out. Little Lorraine Evans, the smallest of the team, can be tossed around as easily as a ball. Emily Harlor turns a complete circle while standing on her head. Many of the others are also very versatile. This is the first year the team has been combined into one group.

TRIPLE N BIOLOGY CLUB CNature's Nearest Neighborsj This year, as in previous years since its found- ing in 1930, the Biology Club was organized. How- ever, instead of having one large club each biology teacher conducted his own club. Mr. Brenner's stud- ents organized their club in the early fall with a volunteer group of twenty-seven. At this organization meeting officers were elected and they immediately took charge. They were: Paul Lutz, president, Jean Davidson, vice-presidentg Hil- lard Kemp, treasurer, Joan Snyder, secretary. lt was decided to conduct all meetings in an orderly but informal manner. At the first meet- ings hikes into the surrounding country, visits to museums, the conducting of experiments, and the building and care of seed flats were discussed. These suggestions were received with enthusiasm by the members. The seed Hats in the solarium were cared for after school by the students. Some of the stud- ents transplanted their seedlings into Victory Gardens. Visits to the local museums were both entertain- ing and educational. One of the most enjoyable projects were the hikes. Since the main purpose of the club was to become acquainted with the facts and phenomena of nature, these hikes were pur- poseful. At winter meetings, our sponsor, Mr. Brenner, showed films and slides related to the topics studied in class. The club members were most responsive to their duties and under the leadership of their officers planned programs and projects were car- ried out. ub 1 OQY C lil o -v-I ID CD I-I Q.. -c: E-l Among the many outstanding clubs of the school is the Biology Club. This organization is made up of sophomore students studying biology under Mr. Iveson. The club was organized when a group of students met and elected to form a club. Member- ship in the club is limited, there being twenty-five members from the three classes. These, in turn, formed a constitution and by-laws and later elected the following officers: Robert Maras, president, Patsy Davis, vice-president, Mary Havard, secre- tary-treasurer, and Sylvia Adams as reporter. At each meeting, movies concerning biology, are shown to the group. These were provided by the school and much is profited by them. The club's treasury is invested in recently produced biological films from the Eastman Kodak Company. The study of live grasshoppers was taken up as well as the microscopic life of the protozoans. Those who live in a city area realize the im- portance of learning and teaching the knowledge of plants and animals, especially in wartime. The present Biology Club, therefore, has dedicated itself to retaining the beauty of our country by planting, caring for, and watching the results of flowers and plants, in our own community. Still more important, the students of this group are investigating diseases and sicknesses resulting from this war. I ulo 1 ogy C r1l o 'I-I DQ UD M n-II I-I E-' n-il This year for the first time there has been formed a Junior Latin Club composed only of students tak- ing second year Latin. Members met in the fall of the year and chose their officers for the school year. The office of president was very ably filled by Mark Heller. Jane Roseman was vice-president, secretary, Marilyn Culp, treasurer, Jack Krubitzer, and reporter, Leah Davisg sergeant-at-arms was Burke Flanagan, After the selection of officers, plans were dis- cussed for the year's activity including a full time assembly program later in the year. Besides this, during the Christmas season we had a part in the Christmas celebration giving two musical selections, Silent Night and O Come All Ye Faithful which were sung in Latin. In our own club we had a series of interesting meetings in which we were enjoyably entertained by the talented members of the club. There were so many intresting entertainments available for our club meetings that programs were not difficult to prepare. The chief disappointment was that we were allowed so few meetings. One of the outstanding features of the year was the Truth Or Consequencet' Show which we held in January in the girls' gym. During the month of May we sold milk to help finance the award of two dollars which the Latin Club presented at the end of the school term to the student having the highest average of the first two years of Latin. Topping off the yearis accomplishments we held the annual club outing. So we felt the Junior Latin Club had justified its existence and we were grate- ful to our sponsor, Miss Sweet, for her help.

The Activity Office, like the school itself has had to make many adjustments during the war years, but it has been fortunate in the past two years in that the three directors have brought a wealth of experience to their aid. We cannot express our gratitude and apprecia- tion, too fully, for the accomplishments of these previous directors. Two years ago, Mr. John Man- gan very ably directed the activities of this office. At that time he was inducted into the Armed Forces and later sent to France, where his knowledge of French is being used by the Army. Mr. Mangan was succeeded by Miss Edythe Dick- over who remained with us until February first when the business world called her away. During Miss Dickover's tenure as director of activities her train- ing in dramatics and speech correction contributed in a large measure, to her splendid success. At the present time Miss Katherine Cronin has taken over the responsibilities of this position. There is no doubt in our minds that this necessity of tak- MISS KATHERINE CRONIN Director of Activities ing a position in the middle of the school year is without advantages. However, Miss Cronin's wealth of experience as a grade school principal and teacher will overcome this handicap. We are looking for- wardvwith confidence in the knowledge that the work of this office is in very capable hands and will con- tinue to make that part of the high school program interesting to the student body. As a place,' in the high school, the Activity Of- fice is just what its name implies. It is the place from which the various activities of Kingston High School are directed. Each club functions through this office. Here its meetings are arranged and its funds are deposited and recorded. Assembly pro- grams are planned and supervised as are all events which take place in the auditorium. The annual Star Dust Revue is organized in this office and with the capable assistance of all teachers is made one of the high lights of the school year. One can read- ily see how this office becomes the focal point of' the social activities of the school. SENIOR PLAY CAST First Row tleft to riyrhtl-fMrs. Thomas, Donald Carter, Marie Barry.

S. brought March to a l 1 climax witn the presentation of their anual play entitle-l i What a Life . The play presented to the public a hilarious account of the trials and errors of one Henry Aldrich. Poor mis- understood Henry is made miserable by nagging teachers, an annoyed principal and his secretary, the typical high school athlete, and a detective. However, the play is brought to a riotous climax and all's well that ends well. The members of the cast gave a repeat performance of the play for the benefit of the Red Cross on the following Friday evening. Due to the untiring efforlfs of' lVl1-s. Thomas the play was again a huge success. STAR DUST REVUE On May 10 and 11, the seventh annual Star Dust Revue was presented to the residents of Wyoming Valley. It was hailed as one of the best ever produced. The beautiful, appropriate scenery, and the magnificent costumes added greatly to the success of the presentation. The opening act, Sidewalks of New York , gave us a clear picture of what we would actually see on the side- walks of New York. The United Nations Act was a very timely one, in- deed. This act consisted of a number of folk dances repre- senting a few of the major United Nations. Our Star Dust Orchestra, as usual, occupied a major part of the Revue. The novel broadcasting idea with which it was presented aroused almost as much praise as was actually received by the orchestra. Another new item inaugurated this year as the final half of the show was a minstrel. The minstrel pleased the audience so greatly that it will no doubt become a regular part of the Revue. The effervescent end men kept the audience in stitches with their humorous antics, while on the other hand the well-trained chorus came forth with some beautiful selections. i -if YOUTH RECREATIONAL COMMITTEE First Row tleft to rimhtl Glenn Reinlmrtlt, Ted Chzlrnuy, Fred Schleprel, Joan Smith, Andrew Saboni Ann Marie Brennan, Louise Rentschler, Charles Nesbitt.

Evaluation of Kingston High School A highly satisfactory reporton the relative standing of Kingston High School with other secondary schools throughout the nation was recently received by the local school authorities from the Commission on Secondary Schools. The report came as the final phase of an evalua- tion survey made of the local High School last' Spring. For twelve years Kingston High School has held mem- bership in the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, an organization comprising a group of colleges and secondary schools in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, and the District of Columbia. In keeping with its purpose of promoting the improvement and extension of college and secondary edu- cation throughout the territory of the association, the organization functions as a fact finding and rating agency in the preparation and maintenance of a list of accredited secondary schools, and as a clearing house of information of a professional character concerning the schools in the territory. To hold membership in the association, high schools must meet the requirements and standards laid down by the organization, and in addition, must undergo an evalua- tion. The latter is three-fold: a self-evaluation by the faculty, an evaluation by a visiting committee of repre- sentative school officials, and a review of these two eval- uations by the Commission on Secondary Schools, In April 1944, Kingston High School, one of the seven schools in Wyoming Valley holding membership in the Middle States Association, made its self-evaluation. Short- ly thereafter, sixteen school men from different parts of Pennsylvania, spent three days at the High School mak- ing the committee evaluation. The results of these two evaluations, wherein almost two thousand items covering all phases of secondary education were considered, were then sent to the Commission on Secondary Schools for final study and rating. In its evaluation, Kingston High School wascompared with the standards that had been previously set by the Commission after a study had been made of two hundred widely scattered schools of all types-large and small. public and private. ln such surveys, nine areas of' the school are studied, and the final rating given to each area evaluated are classified as very inferior, inferior, average, superior, or very superior. In two phases of its educational program-Pupil Ac- tixities and Guidance,-the local high school maintained the average rating. However, a superior rating was given to five of the areas studied, namely, School Plant, Admin- istration, Curriculum, Instruction, and Outcomes of the Educational Program. Contributing factors to these com- mendable ratingc were the economy and efficiency of the building and equipment, the organization and business management' of the school administration, and the pro- gressive development and amount of offerings of the high school curriculum. Both in the School Staff and in Library Service, King- ston High School has been adjudged very superior. The high rating of the former was largely determined by the professional preparation and experience of the teaching staff, as well as by the general efficiency of the clerical and custodial staff. The High School Library rates un- usually high because of the size, recency and general ade- quacy of its book collection and periodicals. Aside from the findings of the visiting committee to determine the ratings in the specific areas of the school, the members of this committee were highly impressed by the relationship that existed between the School Adminis- tration and the community, the forceful leadership of the principal, and the long-range planning of the educational program. ' MR. JOSEPH MCCRACKEN Heading the Physical Education and Athletic De- partment in Kingston since 1931, with the exception of a year spent as a member of the coaching staH at The Citadel, the Military College of South Car- olina, Mr. Joseph McCracken has at one time or another directed Kingston's teams in football, bas- ketball, baseball, wrestling, track and swimming. The records established by his track teams which were undefeated over a period of five consecutive seasons still stands as a challenge to all opposition. Local and state championships have come to our gridiron teams under his direction and the records established by the teams of 1934-35-36, that of play- ing twenty-seven consecutive games without a de- feat, and by the unbeaten and unscored upon cham- pionship team of 1939 have never been approached by any other Wyoming Valley teams. In 1940 Mr. McCracken coached the Maroon and Gray basketball team to a championship with a record of 23 games won against 3 lost. His leaving at the end of the 1945 school year to accept a position with the U. S. Veterans' Admin- istration will be received with mixed feelings of regret at his departure and pleasure at the recogni- tion extended him by the Federal Government. The record of accomplishment he leaves behind and the friendships he has formed in Kingston will long be remembered by students and Alumni of Kingston High School. The Lettermen's Club of Kingston is an organ- ERS EERLE Our cheerleading staif this year was one of the biggest in the history of Kingston High School. It consisted of twelve members, only three of which were left over from last year. The three hold-overs from last year, Rhuea Williams, Marvin Weisberger, and John Reese, together with Dolores Piccone, Ann Marie Brennan, Loraine Clime, Betty Thomas, Jane Mott, Catherine Alles, George Liddicotte, Cliif Parker, and Carl Swanson comprised the entire staff. The cheerleaders did a fine job of instilling the nec- essary spirit in the school body. This year something new was introduced. The seniors rotating in sets of two, served as co-captains for certain games. This scheme worked out very well. Miss Harriet Gross, and Miss Lorraine Cook di- rected the activities of the cheerleaders and their untiring efforts resulted in one of the best squad of cheerleaders ever produced in Kingston High School.

The purpose of the club is to form a link between the athletes in the school and those who have graduated. The Alumni Lettermen's Club has done much to promote the athletic activities of the school, although many of its projects have been stopped because most of the Lettermen are in service. At the time this article was written, there were 353 members, out of which 338 are in the Armed Forces. Mr. Lundy Wright, president of the club, keeps these members posted on the events in Kingston as well as news of fellow lettermen, by publishing and mailing a four- page letter twice every month to these fellows. This organization is the only one in which the students and alumni are so closely connected, and when the war is won, the Lettermen's Club will re- sume their activities to maintain and create clean and true sportsmanship.

Foster, 1945 marked another eventful chapter in the out- standing history of Kingston High School Band. Under the capable leadership of Mr. Willis Netter, the K. H. S. Band continued in its traditional posi- tion of leadership among the bands of Wyoming Valley. This organization has among its members, about sixty in number, some of the most talented musicians ever congregated into a K. H. S. Band. Mr. Netter fused them into an entirely successful group. The band this year was distinguished by its will- ingness to enter whole-heartedly into various phases of community endeavor. In cooperation with the ABCD Club, our band furnished music at the cere- monies held for our local men entering the Armed -.l.r.liF. THE B ND Forces. Early in November, the band marched in the gigantic parade which inaugurated the local Fifth War Loan Drive. The musical picture at K. H. S. was greatly en- hanced this year by the outstanding Junior Band. This organization composed of musicians selected from the various grade schools throughout the bor- ough, proved to be one of the most successful groups ever assembled. These junior members will be the future members of the senior band. Under Mr. Netter's zealous leadership this organization of 1945 came to be regarded as one of the more competent organizations in the brief but imposing succession of junior bands. . As in years, past, awards were presented to vari- ous members of the band. For two years of faithful service, members are entitled to a band letter, for one year, a band pin. Again this year K. H. S. Band was distinguished by its impressive group of color guards. This splen- did aggregation greatly aided the appearance of our band in its numerous public appearances at sports events, parades, etc. ' Another essential group which continued in its tradition of supremacy was the Hashing majorettes. The sparkling performance of these girls, as they proceeded the band, once more established that group as a leading marching high school band in this region. wil l- Our school has had many winning teams. Each and every one of these teams contributes a great deal to the excellent coaching and management given them by our superb and complete coaching staff. Mr, McCracken, our football coach, did an excel- lent job this year with the boys on the squad. A good portion of the team in the beginning of the season appeared to be merely raw material . As the season went on, Coach McCracken gradually im- proved the team. By his constant help and guidance the raw edges were made smooth and polished. Eleven individuals were turned into a team. Thus presenting the finished product-our 1944-45 grid- ders. These boys made a fine showing with Mr. U1 McCracken leading the Way. Mr. Hilbert basketball coach, is another person Lil who built a team and did it in such a way that it was one of which K. H. S. could be very proud. His team members, some experienced, some inexperi- enced, were led by him to practice sportsmanship, U fair play and smart basketball . These cagers Went through a good season-thanks to Coach Hilbert and his outstanding knowledge of both the game and his players. Our wrestling team was outstanding. They were coached by Harold Pugh, and led straight up the COACHES ladder of success. Our matmen showed every char- Mr' Hilbert Miss Gross Mr. Pugh U acteristic which goes to make up a winning team. They were victorious in many ways-not only in scoring but in a more important way-that of sports- manship and clean play. In our female physical education department we have Miss Gross, the girls' basketball coach. Al- though this is her first year here, she has done a wonderful job in producing a winning girls team. The team worked for her and completed a victorious season--due to her excellent advise and coaching ability. Need we say more of our coaching staff? They have done an excellent job and without them we could not boast as freely of our athletics and the records of which we are so proud. FOOTBALL SQUAD First Row lleft to rightJfT. Jenkins, G.

This year the Kingston Huskies had a very event- ful season, under the capable direction of a former coach, Mr, Joseph McCracken, who returned to the coaching staff to help keep our team among the favorites. Coach Pugh and Coach Hilbert are assist- ing him. These three men have proved they know how to coach for they have produced championship teams. To these coaches is due the credit for their untiring efforts and hard work, which went far to make the team function so well. When the season began the coaches were con- fronted with a group of fellows who had an urge to play the game. The coaches took these fellows in hand, and in a few weeks their hard work and willingness began to show results. It produced a team that was a credit to the school. The season opened with Kingston coming up against a not-too-well trained Edwardsville squad. It gave everyone on the team a chance to play. The Huskies were out ahead on the end of a 33-6 victory. Thus began the very eventful season for the Huskies. The Huskies then traveled to Berwick, a new- comer for Kingston. This squad was an experienced one and after a hard fought game Kingston came out on the short end of a 6-0 score. Undaunted by this defeat, Kingston met Ply- mouth on our gridiron where they had the mishap of having a kick blocked which gave Plymouth the chance they needed to put them out ahead. The Huskies again tasted the bitterness of defeat by a 13-0 score. Having by this time become more experienced, the Huskies became the guests of Larksville. After a game which showed some of the power of the Huskies, they came through with a 13-7 count. Coming back to our home field Kingston again was victorious. This time victory came from Plains, a team which had had nothing but setbacks. The Huskies tallied 32 points to their 2. Keeping to our home field, Kingston played against Meyers, which had beaten us twice in suc- cession. The Huskies then proceeded to defeat Mey- ers by a score which will be long remembered in Kingston. The Huskies trounced them 25-7. Now having won the last three games, Kingston traveled to Nanticoke, and in one of the most trying games came out ahead by the narrow margin of 7-6. Coming back to their home field with an air of confidence, the Huskies had the jolt of their season by losing 7-0 to G. A. R. Kingston, not being too confident, traveled to Allentown, another new-comer on our schedule. They came through at the half with a 7-6 score. This was to be short-lived for the Huskies had a kick blocked which ofset the game, and put our rivals out in front Not having lost hope, the Huskies put up one of the fiercest battles of the season. It finally ended 25-14 in favor of Allentown. Coming back to Kingston, the Huskies were de- termined not to be beaten in their annual Turkey Day classic. It was a beautiful day. The Huskies could not be turned from victory. This game was the last for many seniors and when the last whistle blew Kingston had won 20-0. Although the team had a few setbacks, they had played that sort of football which brings credit to Kingston. Even though they had lacked experience, they Went out onto the gridiron and learned it the hard way. Thus the season came to a close, the students of Kingston should pay tribute to these senior Huskies, Captains Len Ballas and Milan Shepherd, Charles Armstrong, Jack Connelly, Frank Petras, Donald Wagner, James Jones, Hollis Holvey, Anthony Grob- lewski, William Gusgekofski, Robert Powell, Charles Supulski, Merl Norcross and Andrew Sabonis. Kingston had the great honor to have two of its players selected on the All-Scholastic eleven. They were Len Bellas and Charles Supulski.

The 1944-45 Kingston basketball team completed another season with great success. Although the team did not win the championship it was noted for its cliquing at the moments when a game looked its darkest. Kingston lost an exhibition game to Swoyerville 50-40. but came back to win its official opener from Meyers 52-39. Playing Hanover on the latters court, Kingston came through with another victory. After brushing up on some minor details, the team added Berwick to its list of growing vic- tories 36-27. Pouncing on G. A, R. the squad pro- duced a 44-35 score. Having triumphed over New- port 40-20, we clashed with Plymouth, and in a nip- and-tuck game came out in the last few minutes on the short end of 47-45 score. The team lost the next game to Nanticoke 24-34 and Coughlin won the last game of the half 31-37. As the half closed Kingston was in third place. Not being dismayed the team again began win- ning victories. They took the opener from Meyers 54-53, but dropped the next to Hanover 37-41. Com- ing back into the spotlight they defeated Berwick 49-44, G. A. R. 49-27, and Newport 50-45. The Kingston Cagers now came to the rough part of their schedule. Before a capacity crowd, Kingston gallantly struggled against Plymouth, but was turned back 30-47. The next contest was played in the Nanticoke gym where the cagers valiantly tried to stave off defeat, but as the time ticked away, Kingston Was still on the short end of the en- counter 40-46. Calling on their reserve strength, which was evident in the last game and was pre- dominate most of the season, the cagers proceeded to roll up point after point, and when the final whistle blew were ahead of Coughlin 61-26. We congratulate Coach Hilbert for the fine job he has done in producing such a fine team. The team has shown itself to be one that merits praise, not only for its fine exhibitions but also for its clean sportsmanship on and of the court.

RESTLING This year the Kingston Wrestling Team, with Chick Armstrong and Tony Groblewski as captains, was composed of a group of boys who had much ex- perience in the art of wrestling. These boys, along with a few new-comers, constituted a team which has won the admiration and respect of the school for their brilliant successes. Mr. Harold Pugh, who has had great success in coaching the wrestling squad thus far, has worked very hard teaching the veteran boys new methods and to the new-comers the fundamentals of wrestling. Having arrived at the peak of conditionn, the team entered the Y Tournament where they showed their outstanding ability. The Huskies had a most eventful season as is shown below: 1.

Kingston, however, was turned back in her eighth match by Washington 22-12. The ninth and final match saw Kingston go down in de- feat against its greatest rival Forty Fort by a 21-12 score. The season, having officially drawn to a close, Kingston entered into the District 2 Eliminations, which would give each member an opportunity to become eligible to be a state champion. In these matches, Kingston had the good fortune to win five positions. These five boys, although none became champions, showed the other schools as well as ours, that Kingston has one of the finest teams :ind coaches in Northeastern l'ennsylvania.

Kingston's team en- joyed success by winning two tri meets, a dual meet and were very close runners up in the District II Track Carnival held at Dunmore. This year's fine showing was due to the hard work of the boys, and excellent coaching of Harold Pugh and Don Hilbert. The membership of the team was practically the same as last year, and so were in a position to de- feat their opponents. This team traveled to G. A. R. for their first meet. They entered into competition with G. A. R. and Nanticoke, and after the meet was over the final score showed Kingston 54, G. A. R. 45 and Nanti- coke 20. This victory was chiefly due to the vic- tories of Merle Norcross in the 220-yard dash and low hurdles, and also Charles Armstrong's fine vic- tories in the two distance races. The following week Kingston went to Plymouth. They performed excellently against Plymouth anzi Coughlin, and as a result tabulated 47 to Plyrnouth's 42 and Coughlin's 27. Armstrong and Norcross again sparked the team in their inflixiflnal events. with Norcross breaking unofficially the record for the low hurdles Edward Malikowski, John Reese, Charles Supulski and Boyd lflarl also contributed heavily to the advantage of the team. Kingston closed their competitive meets by de- feating Meyers, the eventual district champions, at our field by 64-65. Michaels, our sophomore miler came through with a fine victory. Marinos. Mali- kovvski, and Norcross again won their specialties. The meet was won in the last event by Kingstonls mile relay team composed of Earl, Malikowski, Arm- strong, and Mciirellis. In the district meet Kingston trackmen did them- selves honor by taking five iirst places. Merle Nor- cross won the 220-yard dash and the low hurdles, lloyd llarl took the javelin, John Reese the broad jump and Charles Armstrong the half mile. These boys along with a group of others tabulated enough points to give Kingston an unquestioned second place.

This was accom- plished by the coaching of our new teacher, Miss Harriet Gross, and the excellent cooperative spirit of the members of the team. The girls lost their first game of the season to Dallas Borough on their fioor, but they made up for that defeat by a long string of victories. Among these victories was our game with Ashley on their Hoor. In this game, Rhuea Williams was high scorer with 17 points. Then we went to Wilkes-Barre Day School where we defeated them 35-25. The final outcome of this game was due largely to the efforts of Dolores Piccone. Next, with Wyoming Seminary as our guest, we overcame their defenses to the tune of 43-20. Marian Brown was the outstanding player with 15 points to her credit. To help the G. A. A. treasury, the Girls' Varsity were challenged by H. R. 106 to a game. The girls outplayed the boys with a score of 29-27. The return engagement was not so favorable, however, for the girls. The boys won 25-23. Ruth Hendler, our first string forward, was at her best in our return game with Ashley on our floor. The score was 33-6 with Hendler making 24 of the points. The rest of our games merely repeat the above performances. Our opponents' scores could not pos- sibly have been so low had it not been for the ex- cellent team work of our guards. These include: Captain Ruth Alles, Ann Marie Brennan, Lois Schmoll, Jane Korper, and Elaine Nagle. Our team works as a cooperating unit only through the untiring efforts of the coach, thc girls, and the managers. H ET '1 rn. 5 Q 3 5 m I A :A 6 I F F' o E.

This year Kingston revealed its ability to play baseball by organizing for the first time in this decade a team which, by the end of the first half had occupied first place. This team's success was due largely to the coaching of Joseph McCracken. He showed the boys the finer points of baseball as he has in the past when the school had no team and baseball in Kingston was confined to sandlot com- petition. As the days of practice grew shorter and the scheduled games were drawing closer, Kingston played two exhibition games in which the ability of the team was becoming apparent through their will- ingness to work and cooperate together. The first 'team they opposed was Wyoming Seminary which was defeated in easy fashion ll-1. Continuing on their road to victory they played Shickshinny on the Huskies new diamond and Won 5-3. Traveling to Kirby Park to play their first sched- uled game they were defeated 2-O by Coughlin. Kingston then staved of further defeats by mak- ing their hits count defeating Nanticoke 3 to 2. Thus began the Huskies initial season of baseball. Pi Ei 'I :- W c T FC sv 2: 5 o : ca Pi :. -3 0 .+ 5' o- 2 fi- 'U o 2 fl 'CD o -4 n. F1 E P-1 Q. 2 m 5 ra.

Again playing against this city school they went down to Meyers where they showed their marked hitting and fielding ability. When the last inning had passed and the field cleared Kingston had won their third straight victory 5-1. Kingston's team was now half through their season and was in first place with Coughlin. Kingston enjoyed an open date by journeying to Shickshinny to again defeat them 5-1. Kingston's baseball nine then met Coughlin, and this time the outcome of the game was to be the deciding factor in determining the champion of the league. The ball game proved spectacular going into extra inn- ings, and as it happens in many a tight ball game, the pitcher drove in his winning run. The game ended Kingston 2, Coughlin 1. Thus Kingston edged ahead in the league and also determined to bring a championship to Kingston.
