ORANGE AND BLACK Altho Williamsport has favored The Cherry and the White, And the loyal boys of Danville For the Orange and Purple iight, Still we hold our colors' splendor Nor honor shall they lackg While the athletes stand defenders Of the Orange and the Black. Thru the three long years of High School Midst the scenes We know so Wellg There's a mystic charm to knowledge We vainly seek to spellg Q Or we win athletic victories On the football Held or trackg Still We work for Milton High School And the Orange and the Black. When our high school days are over, And life looms up beforeg We recall those days of gladness That come again no more. Still we banish care and sadness, As we turn our mem'ries back, And recall those days of gladness 'Neath the Orange and the Black. Wm MILTON ECHOES PUBLISHED BY THE CLASS OF 1945 MILTON HIGH SCHOOL MILTON, PENNSYLVANIA FORE ORD QRADUATING at one of the most critical periods of our country,s history, we, the Class of 1943, realize the tremendous responsibility that falls upon our should- ers. Ours is not the task of building a greater nation but of preserving it, of preserving the opportunities, advantages, and privileges that must be ours for future generations. Many of us shall die for the freedom that our fore- fathers bought for us with their blood, but We shall not die in vain, for there is no price too great for the freedom of democracy. If we had no faith in Amer- ica, no faith in the ideals for which it stands, we would not deem such a sacrifice necessary. We, the Class of 1943, are pledged to keep America a "nation of the people, by the people, for the people." DEDICATIO EECAUSE of her constant interest in her students, her Willingness to help them, and her excellent guidance, We, the Class of 1943, dedicate this ninth edition of the ECHOES to our former English teacher who is now serving her country in the Wo- men,s Auxiliary Volunteer Emergency Ser- vice: KATHERYN STANNERT FACULTY QM gawk may ,Qld Qfgww SM, OW, lux fgfwfffimfzwg qwkx M1g,xx mfwyw Ewxgw ,JQVKJILTWZLQ 6 FACULTY Wmwwfimwf ww On fgww K?'7'f'9M7W' QXZMQ jfvwf' g5C.LzzW4 CQ., Afwwfcfz, ,fngf 5 yur f,5,mf,1WZ 7 , J T DONALD BYERS President ELIZABETH CROMLEY Lois PAWLING Vice President Secretary DONALD PEPPERMAN Treasurer PRESIDENTS MESSAGE To my fellow students, I express my sincere thanks for the splendid co- operation which they have shown during the past two years.

The members of our class have fought for our school in varsity athletics and participated in extracurricular activities. With the help of Mrs. Pesto, our class adviser, we sponsored as well as supported many successful dances and parties. We feel that Milton High has not only taught us chemistry and Latin, but the value of co-operationg and it has helped us realize our responsibility by molding stronger characters. To the seniors, Who led us and set such a splendid example, We extend our congratula- tions and hope that we may be able to lead as we have been led. 26 CLASS OF 1945 OFFICERS NEIL BARBER - - - - - - President JUNE MERTZ - - Vice President HELEN LOUISE HARMON - Secretary ALFRED CONFER - ---- Treasurer September found us entering High School with a feeling of humbleness and awe. After wandering through the halls for the Hrst few weeks and making several intrusions on classes, other than the ones assigned us, we settled down to become a group of self- controlled students. The year was a great success, intellectually and socially. We had several skating parties and a Sophomore Class Party. We owe much of our success to the capable leadership of our class adviser, Mr. Paul Confer. We enjoyed our '43 year and will be back to give the '44 Sophomores as Warm a welcome as We received. 27 THE ECHOES STAFF Faculty Advisers - Q - - NANCY GRIFFITH, STANFORD KUNKLE EDITORIAL STAFF Editor-in-chief - - ---- HAROLD EVANS Assistant to Ea'itor-in-chief - - - ---- ROBERT SMITH Senior Section--Elizabeth Cromley QEditorj, Irene Taylor, Phyllis Enterline, Florence Lagerman, Ellison Thornton, Earl Mincemoyer, Larry Krebs, Jack Kline, Phyllis Lins, Ralph Brautigam.

For the fourth time in Hve years the Milton F 0 O rr B A L L High School football team won the Susquehanna League Championship. This year's squad, boast- ing 9 victories in 10 starts, posted an unbeaten 1 9 4 2 league record-6 victories in as many games. A 33-0 victory over the previously unbeaten South Williamsport t e a m climaxed another great Orange and Black Season. How THEY SCORED THIS SEASON The powerful Panther machine rolled up 39 touchdowns and added 16 extra points to accumulate 250 points to their opponents' 56. Dick Ammerman, Milton High Schoolis hard running fullback, led the Panther scoring parade with 84 points. Carl Marshall, elusive Sophomore, followed closely with 78 points.

At first the outlook was dark for the Panthers, but they finally woke up and barely won the game. Touchdowns were con- tributed by Marshall and Ammerman. MILTON 32 - SAYRE 2 MiltOn's Black Panthers crushed a heavy, but inexperienced Sayre High School team beneath a 32-2 score at Sayre. Ammerman, Marshall, and Moser, aided by the very timely blocking of Miller, Byers, and Harpster, accounted for Milton's five touchdowns. The effectiveness of the Panther line hampered the enemy's running game. MILTON 45 - NORRY 6 The Panthers showed great offensive power as they won their first conference game on the Northumberland Held. This was the first Milton victory on the Pineknotter's field in ten years. Behind good blocking, Ammerman and Marshall each scored twice, while Moser, Strine, and Noraconk each crossed the goal line once. Norry's lone marker came on a long pass. MILTON 20 -- BLOOMSBURG 6 Playing under a blazing sun, the Panthers defeated a stubborn Bloom eleven by a comfortable 20-6 victory. A wide awake Bloom line stopped some of Milton's offensive power. A Miller to Ammerman lateral went for 5 0 yards and the first Milton touchdown. The Bloom team came within a point of tying the Panthers before half time. A pass from Miller to Strine from the Bloom 20 produced the second Milton score. Late in the fourth quarter Ammerman crashed through center for 30 yards for the final score. 35 MIIJTON 20 - LOOK HAVEN 7 The Milton Black Panthers really pulled one out of the bag this game by smashing to a 20-7 victory over Lock Haven's best eleven in years. The first quarter was all the Bobcats. Time after time they marched to the Panther goal line only to be held by Milton's forward wall. The break came when Marshall intercepted one of Mace's aerials and raced 85 yards for the first score of the game. In the third quarter Ammerman tossed a flat pass to Marshall who raced 35 yards for the second score. Marshall crossed the goal line a third time for the final score. Lock Haven's only score came on a "last hope" pass by Mace. MILTON 20 - JERSEY SHORE 0 The boys won this game for Coach Danks who missed his first game in eleven years due to pneumonia. Outplaying a stubborn and heavy team, the Panthers scored first on a two yard buck by Ammerman. In the second half the Panthers drove to two more touchdowns, one by Ammerman, the other by Marshall, while the Bulldogs were held in check by a fighting Milton club. MILTON 6 - SUNBURY 22 The Sunbury Owls, led by Leo Ballestrini, whipped the previously unbeaten Black Panthers by a score of 22-6. Ballestrini, plus some of the finest blocking ever seen on a high school field, provided the margin of difference between the two teams. Milton's only score occurred early in the fourth period when Dick Miller intercepted a Sunbury pass and outraced the entire Sunbury team for 70 yards and a touchdown. MILTON 31 - DANVILLE 0 Milton High's Black Panthers trounced a rough and ready Danville High School by a score of 31-0. Led by the superb passing combination of Moser to Noraconk, the hard running of Marshall, Strine, Hackenburg, and Ammerman, and some fine blocking, the Danksmen surpassed all expectations. 36 MILTON 31 -WEST MAHANOY TOWNSHIP 6 A powerful Milton grid machine rolled over West Mahanoy Township. Milton scored at will and also played a tight defensive game. Mahanoy's only score came against the Panther reserves. The scoring was done by Hackenburg, Strine, Marshall, and Ammerman. MILTON 33 - SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT 0 As a climax to a very successful season, Milton defeated the previously unbeaten South Williamsport eleven to the tune of 33-0. Aided by the exceptionally good block- ing of Byers, Housner, Miller, and Harpster, the hard running Milton backs were sprung loose for many a long gain. Milton's defensive showing was due chiefly to Noraconk, Schneck, Confer, and Frymire, all seniors, who played one of the best games of their careers.

BA KETBALL 1942-1945 This year's edition of the Milton High School basketball team is a team we can well be proud of. They established an enviable record of 21 wins and 4 losses. The Panthers scored 981 points in 25 games for an average of 39 points a game. Our Panthers won the Susquehanna League Championship and the District 4 title, but were eliminated by Lower Merion in the semi-finals of the P. I. A. A. state championship play-offs. FIRST HALF The Panthers journeyed to Shamokin to play the strong Shamokin Greyhounds to open a most successful season. Showing plenty of class, the Panthers lost a close one to the coal regioners. Miller led the Milton attack with 11 points, While Korchuck was high for the winners. Milton then traveled to South Side where they won their Hrst victory of the year from the stubborn Mountaineers. With a good third quarter the Panthers pulled out a close one by 26-22. Miller led the offensive showing of Milton with 11 points. The South Side team came to Milton to avenge an earlier defeat but was sent home with a 28-21 beating. Showing the best passing to date, the Panthers started to hit the loop in the second half. Ammerman was high for Milton with 14, while Wood was high with 7 for the South Siders. Opening the Susquehanna League with real style, the Panthers handed the Miillinburg Comets a stinging 39-19 defeat. Miller scored high with 27 points. Boyer was high for the Comets, making 13 points. Going to Sunbury, the Panthers lost a Close extra-period decision to the Owls by 39-38. After a second-half letdown, the Panthers rallied in the last few minutes to tie the score on a beautiful long shot by Ocker. A field goal and foul by Fetter in the extra 39 period saved the game for Sunbury by one point. Miller was again high for Milton with 16 points. Playing one of the best games of their season, the Panthers knocked Bloom out of first place by beating them 32-29. Leading all the way, the Panthers had little trouble with Bloomis defense. Dick Ammerman, getting many short shots, was high scorer with 16 points. For the seventh game of the season the Panthers met the Lewisburg Dragons on Milton's home court. The Dragons offered little or no resistance to che smashing attack of the Panthers. When the final gun sounded, the Dragons were swamped 41-17. Ammerman led the Panthers, scoring list. The next victim on the Pantheris list was the Selinsgrove Seals. The Milton quintet downed them on the Seal's home floor. Miller led the Panthers to this win with 12 points. The Panthers really peppered the cords at Danville to mow them under by a 70-38 score. Dick Ammerman again led the attack with 19 rallies, while "Stew" Miller was second with 14 points. Trevorton came to Milton for this game only to go home after receiving a 50-27 beating from the fast cutting Black Panthers. The two Dicks, Miller and Ammerman, again set the scoring pace with 20 and 16 points respectively. Milton, playing the best defensive game of the season, held Northumberland scoreless for the first 14 minutes of play. The substitutes played most of the second half after the boys, led by Dick Miller, who had 22 points, ran up a big score. SECOND HALF Milton took one on the nose this game by receiving a 44-31 beating from Shamo- kinis Greyhounds. Milton had little defensive punch after losing heart in the beginning of the game. Dick Miller had 13 counters, while Shamokinis Korchuck had 14 and Konuchuk 16. This game was our third defeat of the season. Milton traveled to Mifflinburg to swamp the Comets by a 47-28 score. Miller and Ammerman again led the scoring column with 16 and 14 points respectively. Milton, in this game, started a winning streak of 12 consecutive games. This game was the best all-around game that Milton played in the league. Sun- bury's highly touted Owls came to Milton with high hopes of a victory only to be sent home with a 31-30 defeat. This game determined the final champion of the Susque- hanna League, since these teams were tied for first place. Miltonis high-flying Panthers again came through by spanking a 51-27 beating on the Bloomsburg team. Dick Ammerman again led the attack with 19 points, while little Bobby Kashner kept his team in the game by mustering 18 points himself. Milton again rolled high and mighty by thumping Lewisburg's Green Dragons by a 53-25 score. Jack Ocker led the fast attack with 20 points. The Milton scoring machine was again set in motion when it swamped the Selins- grove Seals by a score of 70-35. Milton rapped out a 49-20 decision over Danville's Ironmen. The leader of the scoring column was Dick Ammerman with 13 points. Danville played a hard game in the beginning only to be mowed under by a smashing attack. Our Panthers then journeyed into the coal regions to play a highly regarded Trevor- ton five. The game was played before a very partisan crowd of about 200 fans. As 40 usual our boys got off to a very slow start, but in the second quarter they really got down to work and displayed a brand of basketball that amazed the coal-town combina- tion. Strine and Miller led the Milton scoring parade, the final score being Milton 48, Trevorton 27. The final league clash of the year found our boys traveling to Norry to meet the highly-touted Pineknotters. In the early period it looked like a defeat for the locals When, by the clever shooting of Confer, they held a 12-0 lead. After a two-pointer by Frymire our boys got to work and slowly but surely overcame the 12 point advantage and went on to win by a 44-30 count and thus clinching the Susquehanna League Championship. P. I. A. A. PLAY-OFFS SHAMOKIN-MILTON AT SUNBURY After winning the Susquehanna League Championship, Milton's Black Panthers entered the play-offs for the 4th District Title. They rnet Shamokin on the Sunbury High School floor. The game was played before approximately 600 wildly screaming fans. Time after time the fans were brought to their feet by the dazzling one-handed shots of Dick Miller. Milton held the lead throughout the game, but in the closing minutes, Shamokin tied the score. Then Jack Ocker, a fast Milton guard, sank one to give Milton the game with a final score of Milton 34, Shamokin 32. Dick Miller led Milton's attack with 18 points. CONYNGHAM TOWNSHIP-MILTON AT BLOOMSBURG Milton met Conyngham Township on the spacious court of the Bloomsburg State Teachers College. Our Panthers displayed a very smooth-passing attack and were in no danger at any time during the game. Ammerman and Miller did most of the scor- ing aided by the timely passes of Strine, Frymire, and Hackenburg. Milton led by 8 points at the half. The final score was Milton 46, Conyngham Township 36. MT. CARMEL TOWNSHIP-MILTON AT MILTON The Panthers encountered Mt. Carmel Township for their third tilt in the District 4 Play-offs. It was elected that this game should be played in the Panthers' own back- yard. A capacity crowd jammed the M. H. S. gym, and that same capacity crowd went home with the smile of victory on their faces. Miller himself had enough points to defeat the Mt. Carmelites, racking up 32 of our S 8 counters, while the opponents accumulated 30. SAYRE-MILTON AT WILLIAMSPORT Milton now journeyed to Williamsport to play Sayre for the district title. Sayre had a surprisingly big club, and from the starting whistle the Panthers knew they had a job on their hands. Using a fast-break to dazzle the opponents, Milton led at the end of the first quarter, 14-8. Sayre put on the pressure then and was only two points behind Milton at half-time. The second half was a thriller, but Milton High School's Black Panthers emerged victorious. The final score was Milton 55, Sayre 52. Miller and Ammerman led the scoring with 23 points and 18 points respectively. LOWER MERION-MILTON AT PHILADELPHIA Milton, as District 4 champion, next played Lower Merion at the University of Pennsylvania Palestra at Philadelphia, before a crowd of approximately 6,500. The 41 Panthers got off to a smashing start and were leading, 13-7, at the end of the first quar- ter. At half-time the score stood 17-15, favor of Lower Merion. In the third quarter the Milton attack bogged down and the game ended with Milton on the short end of a 47-26 score. Ocker and Strine led the scoring, but Frymire's rebound work helped to keep Milton in the game. Dec. Dec. Dec. Jan. Jan. Jan. J an. Jan. Jan. Jan. Jan.
