Annie, the smallest girl in our class, and like most small people, loves every one but mostly Wfalter. How happy Anna was when her hair was long enough-it having been cut after her attack of the Hu -to be put up because she felt that all Seniors should appear grown-up to have their picture taken. Annie has no definite plans at present, but we are sure she will succeed in whatever she does. Andrew Fleming-- Andy , Pat All night I heard thy voice rave over the rocky bar, 4'Andy is always hearing things in his sleep. The words which echo in his ears are one ball in the side pocket. Andy made his debut in the Minstrel. He was one of the Aces of Spades. He and Schuster sure are two good cards to hold. Pat made a hit in his song Bring Back. l-le had the right feeling because he missed his spirits. He was asked to join the Phi Beta B. S. Club but refused, stating' that he did not agree with the B. S. He was one of the political bosses in the class and made a success at it, He will open up a joint of his own upon graduation. Helen Rickert- Hel If talked-ye gods! hcw it tallkedl' Could Hel be better described than this? Vlflieu Andy and Helen get together-enough said! Helen is one of the accomplished mem- bers of our class, as the opposite sex will admit -noted dancer, which was proven in the Minuet , skilled in athletics, such as tennis, basket ball and hockey, and last but not lcast, her singing in Chapel, which can be heard by the Fresllies.l' She does, however, take time from her numerous dates to prepare for her HCOllllJ1'CllCl1SlYCSn for Wfellesley. l3 Esther Von de Heiden- Vondie For Satan iinds some mischief for idle hands to do. And now we come to the greatest heart- hreaker that ever entered High. Vondie's smiles seem to possess magnetic qualities, for they are always drawing members of the oppo- site sex. But of all the suitors, CarlH seems to be the only one who has fulfilled all the requirements. She is one of the invincible sextette. She filled the part of ,loan in the Senior play which Vivian- Martin did in the original east. Some day Vondie will rival Lucille Cavanaugh. Lee Hummel- Shrimp A light heart lives long. A squealing, tempestuous, almost infinitesi- ,mal mass of baby Hesh took posession of the Hummel home at Pottsville on November 3, 1903. They named the wee thing Lee and later, when it grew larger and stronger, they sent it to school to learn sums and things. Now, Lee is very young and everything takes on a humorous aspect, when viewed through his optics, so we must often bear with him and not become aggravated with his hysterical giggles. He is the smallest of our number, but not the quietest by any means. His ambition is to grow tall, so the girls won't have to lift him up to?-. Kathryn Lautenbacher- Kafryn VVhen one is truly in love, one not only says it hut shows it. Kafryn represents the large small town of Schuylkill Haven. She has been with us only one year, but she has won the affections of all her classmates, especially Mr. Leiby. She is noted for her beautiful curls and her talent in seeaking. In the near future, Kafryn,' will he elocution teacher at The Braun School of Nlusic. 14 Jeannette Morrison- Jeanne Ulle is al fool who thinks by forre or skill To turn the current of at W0man's willf' Behold the noted musician of our class! Also an artist of great ability. She usually aniuses the girls during' study period in Room 2, by passing around some specimens of her art. .Sonic time perhaps you Will see Jeannette gazing' off into space-fear not, her thoughts are wandering to Virginia. In the near future We shall probably hear of Jeanne settling ill the Blue Hills, but at present she is seriously contemplating entering Penn State, Percival Adcock- Perce , Detective As modest and attentive us n blushing- maid. One would never suspect that this quiet fellow hailing' from Laurel street would hope to make enough noise to be a detective, but he has succeeded and even learned, the meaning of H!-le---!!' Perce never was a ladies' nian until this year, but he finally eanie to life and captured the affections of '4Anna. XNC' wish Perce 11mcl1 success in climbing the ladder at Dives. S Margaret Huff- HuHie HYon'd be surprised! You'd really be surprised! HufF.e is so tall and stately and digniiied but once started! :Xtter each period she can be found in room No. 2-dressing room-powdering her nose. She tries at times to beat, Ruth Eckert giggling. l-lufrieu is one of Mr. Lehr's star pupils. She takes French and linglish one after the other. She has many friends in Philadelphia, but the only one in lfottsrille just now is K. 15 Etta Heisler- Eddie At whose sight all the stars hid their diminished heads. Etta was one of the girls who had her hair cut after an attack of the ilu, but now her hair is long enough to wear it up and she is feeling very much grown-up just now. Francis and Etta are inseparable friends, since Francis lives in the Hats. She makes brilliant recitae tions in history, and we are sure she will use her talents out of school as Well as she did in. Lester Ost- Les , Milk Early to bed and early to rise makes a buy healthy, Wealthy and wise. Les is the milk-man of the class and thus one of the early risers. Les is also one of the small members of the class, though small only in stature, for he is the brains of the class. One cannot help but wonder how one small head could carry all he knew. He is the friend of everyone, always willing to lend his knowledge for the betterment of those not so brilliant. We feel that Les will make a success in his future life. , Grace Otto- Gracious And only fifteen. Our last year was brightened by the presence of this young lady from Tremont. She is a very accomplished singer and can reach high HE . She was to have taken part in the vaudeville, but a severe cold prevented her doing so. She shows good school spiritC?j always rooting for Tremont's great basket ball team. Her ambition is to become 'a famous prima donna. 16 Edward Kerns- Eddie , Handsome In my every gesture there is individuality. Eddie is one of the giants of the class. He was a foot ball man, captain-elect until he broke his shoulder, and left for Annapolis Prep. They call him handsome, but is he? He likes the women, but Helen excels them all. Eddie is the political boss of the class. He tried to run the election for the Senior year, but was fooledg Charlie', and his friends beat him to it. VVe feel he will succeed. Edward McLaughlin- Ed , Mack , Luke How dry I am. Edward got his first taste at Reading, and his last CU at Yuengling's, When he served on the firing squad. He also is a woman hater UD, having a different one for each night in the week. First it is Gladys, then Quinnic, then Elsie, then Mack and finally Ginger, Luke was so taken up with the females that he did not have time for practice for the Senior play. Luke first entered into the theatrical world when he wasinterlocutor in the min- strels. He is the orator of the class also. We wish Ed much success as a statesman or as a lover. H Homer Dolan- Angelface Silence is more precious than words. This is Homcr's motto. He is quiet and industrious, being thebest student in the class. Homer is also a great musician, at least he thinks he is. Homer, although he appears bashful, is not so at all. He was one of the first to get his partner for commencement. Frankie was confident of success in that direction, but he was sadly mistaken. Ada and he journey from Yorkville, but not together. Homer will some day be a second Robert Braun. 17 Doris Stevenson- Jamey t'How far that little candle throws its beams, So shines a good deed in a naughty wcrldf' Doris is quiet in disposition, but those times are few and far between. She is always ready to lend a helping hand in short-hand. This subject takes up most of her tinie. Doris studies at night and her whole study period. This indicates she is very studious in order to be of equal mental calibre to her partner. Franklin Tanner-- Issie HB9 off with the old love before you are on with the newf' Yes, Frankie, this is good advice. Ladies and gentlemen, we have here-only the editor of our paper and deacon of the church. ln Issie's Freshman year he had a terrible case on Dorisg the Sophomore year he had a case on M. R., in the Junior year he had Ada Paul, and in the Senior year his affections fell on Lois. VVe wonder where they will land next. Issie'l was a First Lieutenant. He had many falls-even in love-and one day it was rumored that Frank was to be reduced to the ranks. He was terribly excited, as he coveted his position, but it all came to naught and he is still First Lieutenant. NVe wish him success in his future position as President of the P. R. R. Marian Morrison- Bunny filudge not a woman from the town she comes from. Marian Morrison brings the faculty news, as she accompanies Mr. Frederici daily from Auburn. She and Marie are very staunch friends, and together during noon hour can be seen picking styles for their own home towns. Marian has very pleasant and winning ways and will go through life winning new friends. -18 Virginia Rishel- Ginger XVhere more is meant than meets the ear. Yes, still waters run deep. Those dark, expressive eyes are like deep blue pools. It is with these eyes that she brings all the male members of our class to her feet on bended knees. At least there is one who stayed there long enough to be her conunenceinent partner. ,CHow about it, Luke ?D . Ginger has theatrical talent, as was demonstrated in the number of plays and vaudevilles she took part in during her High School career. She will some day become a-'lmovie star. Harry'Bausum- Tub , O'Ma1ley t'His H10fllGI'lS,Dl'ld6, his father's joyg He is indeed our darling boy. l-larry is one of the heavy-weights of the class. He loves his Flor de Manuel better than his home Ceven if the cigars are his father'sD. Harry spends considerable time in the ul'llll1JO1'll.llll.H Harry is one of the sports UD of the class fa ten cent one, I meanj. Tub is sure a good impersonator of an lrish cop. He does not believe in having a Hsteadyf' having three in the course of two months. Harry will wind up as manager of Bausum's. Hannah Morris For she was just the quiet kind whose nature never varies. Another one of St. Clair's favorite daughters Caine to us last fall. She entered into her work with a zeal that merits following: ln English, when the rest of the class were struggling' with Eurke's oration, Hannah was always ready with an answer and .received the grateful appreciation of the class. ' - ' I 4 . r1'9 l john Gillars-- Jack , Cap Talking is one of the fine arts. One morning when the R. O. T. C. was going to Garfield Square, someone asked Sgt. Gallo, who was coming up in the car flate as usualj who that hard-boiled captain was. Jack was in the act of commanding the impossible, l'Brown, wipe that smile off your face. Yes, Jack was captain, and as hard- boiled as they come. He is not only a military genius, but will very likely become a great statesman. He is the star of all the debates held in Senior English. We hope he will suc- ceed in that line and we are sure that he will be encouraged by everyone when his genius is recognized. Esther Shuey- Shuey To love and be loved is the greatest happiness of existc-nc-ef, This is Esther's belief. We Wonder if this is the reason why jack asked her for com- mencement partner. listher is a member of the Greenwood Hill Gossip Club. Shuey is a good essayist, winning the prize for best essay on Enlistment in the Army. Being small, one would expect her to be very quiet, hut have you ever heard her rave? Ask Peggy, the poor victim, when she starts. Esther de- clares she is going to be an old maid, but we wonder. John Brown- Johnny , Scrapper All the courses of my life do show, I am not in the 1-ell of vommen men, And so thinks John. The only rival I have is 'Ty' Cobb, says Scrap, He brings back the days of Tracey Sehuckers in left field. His favorite song is How Dry I Am. He is the pivot man of the steam roller formation, the St. Clair foot hall team's Crusher. They crushed 'ASwitz in St. Clair. John is always smilingfeveu the rain ean't wash away the beam of sunshine. John will become superin- tendent of the Ht-1-bein Colliery after graduat- ing from the old school. Z0 john Super- Slingy , Fast The world knows nothing of its greatest men. Ladies and gentlemen, allow us to present to you one of the world's greatest men, Slingy Super. Slingy came to us from the historical city of St. Clair. Speedy does not associate with any of the girls. They are too slow for him. He made his debut as an orator in a debate in English class, Gillars and he being in a class of their own in that art, 'Slingyu is a candidate for Congress at the next election- give him your votes, ladies. 'MVC wish him the best of luck and hope he speeds up Congress. John Schappell- Jawnie 'A true son of the soil am I. , And such is Hfawnief' No one can find a better farmer fin the classb. IaWnie comes from the beautiful suburb of Schu'-lkill Haven, Seven Stars. He has a very busy day, and after reading this you will understand why Iawnie sometimes falls asleep in class. He gets up at 4:30, milks the cow, feeds the chickens and then walks over the hill to get the car for school, After a strenuous CFD day in school he returns to plow up the 'delds and husk corn and goes to bed by 9:30, although he docs not go to sleep until after his lessons are prepared. John intends to show Dad how to run tl1e farm scientifically. VVC wish him much success in this. William Carroll- Bill , Major HI am prepared for more than ordinary things. This is proved to be true from the fact that hc was appointed Major ofthe R. O. T. C. unit in the school. Bill looks as snappv as are his commands. Bill never in his life com- manded, Company, whoa! ln his Junior year he started out as a jazzer and now he has a great reputation in that line, knocking all the women coldfl t'Bill is a wonderful studentf?D especially in American History. Bill ,will be head buyer of Lee's. 21 Eliabezth Frie+- Lib Oh, wlmit 'zz pal was Liblf' Lib used to haX'e..a,great interest in boys, but lately she has fo1'g3o'ttc'n about them. Al was the chief adinireizat one time and fChris at another. She is a nireinber of the elan that meets at h101'tllllC1'iS corner. Lib holds the honor of being' star in our History class Cshe never says a wordjq Lib will probably be seen as chief clerk in her father's store. Theodore Zerbe-- Zerb'f Secret ,and self-enntained, and as -solitary as an oyster. 1 , E Zerbe is one of the quiet mernbers-of the class. He made application for admission into our class at the opening.of'our Senior year. He eoines from the beautiful' city of Zerbe- nanled in his honor. Every morning the train backs into the station to wait for hini. -lt eouldn't go without him. -Zerbeis a good student, especially in the chemistry f'lab, Nels and he delight in spilling ehare.oal over the floor. Zerbc will some day become hcafd of Math. in Zc-rbe College, Zerbe, Pa.- Mary Marquardt- Johnny As nwrry as thevday is long. '- Hefe is another 1nen1b'er. of the Mortimer gang'. . Hazel, Lib and 'Mary are close friends. Mary studies hard and always knows her lessons and she is being: rewarded for her diligence by the high grades on her report sheets. Mary is always willing to lend a help- ing hand to her classmates and has never been known to be any way but pleasant. VVC know that there is something great in store for her, and we wish her success. 22 Gertrude Kamenetsky- Gert ml72llll'llC9 is the :1dva111-ement of all lines of life. l'tiert, quiet and demure, has certainly her share of patience. Wk- know that it will help her to 111ake her future one of success and happiness. Sl1e has evaded the wooings of n1an Zlllll does not take ll1llCl1 interest in the aFfairs of the school. She is a strong advocate of HxVOlll2I.ll,S 'Suffrage, and agrees with the ideas of Mrs. Pankhurst, We wish her success in future life. Howell Aregood- How , Airy Hilo thou but pierce his reserve and a goodly fi-Ilow thou findestf' Here we have the Anti-Tuberculosis Society. xfVlICl'CX'l'l' we find Howell we ind the Are- good. As a track lIl2ll'l How is a good black- s111itl1. He labors daily with Leiby, Reilly and Christ i11 Agricultural Park, cultivating the track. Howell's desire is to become a dairy husbandry SllDC1'llllCllilCllt. lf he is not suc- cessful i11 tl1is we hope he will niake a success as a trainer of athletes. Ada Paul- Ada Vanity, vanity, all is vanity and vexation of spiritf ' Ada is one of the niost popular girls of our class. She is very fond of the boys, having had several eases within a year. just now Homer l1as succeeded in capturing l1er heart. We hope he will last longer than tl1e rest. Ada is also a great actress, having displayed l1er talent in tl1e vaudeville show and the Senior play. In the SClllO1' play she was the hride and certainly played l1er part well. She will some day open U11 a beauty parlor in the city. 23 Ruth Eckert- Smi1es' ' Smile and the world smiles With von, Weep and you weep alone. This ,is true of Ruth. She is champion giggler of the class. Once started, it becomes contagious. And her pretty red cheeks are not painted-they are her very own. Ruth is a true friend of the true and no one could find a better friend, as Mary, Hazel and Lib can prove. She is very studious QD and we all know she will reach great heights in the future. CMaybe Greenwood Hillj. John D. Myers- Dee - Himself the judge and jury. We have here John D., but not Rockefeller by any means, because Iohn's favorite occupa- tion is gambling and he is not much of a success at it, either. Dee is one of the philosophers of the class, philosophy coming as second nature to him. He is also one of the debaters of the class, generally siding with the girls. john is real bashful but managed to forget for one day, until he succeeded in obtaining a partner. CHard luck, Kleiny j. Iohn will some day become professor of astronomy in one of our large universities. Elizabeth Brobst- Brobsty Her words were simple and her soul sincere. Elizabeth is one of our quiet girls. We have in our possession no record of any boisterous outbreak on her part since she entered High School. We are proud of her for this fact, for it is a rare achievement for a High School Senior. While Elizabeth does not make herself conspicuous in school affairs, she is one of the most loyal students P. H. S. has ever seen, and we would like to have a few more like her., 0 24 Nelson Lessig- Nels The more shallow the bowl the fewer the soup. This is what Nels thinks and so he has hlled up his bowl fl mean his headj with great ideas. He and Zerbe are great pals. Nels is a very bright student, at least his grades show it. Nels is a rather quiet sort of fellow but K. O. Eberle challenged him and to his dismay took the count of l0 Cdemeritsj. Nels will study medicine. VVe wish him the same suc- cess as he had in his recent case?? Thomas Williams- Tom VVheu the roll is called up yonder, Illl be there. - Tom is a great church member. He takes up the collection in prayer meeting. This fellow never stole, lied, swore, chewed, drank, etc., or partook of anything that was not heavenly. He is a perfect Gabriel. Tom is also a great musician, rivaling Beethoven. He is a great chum of Raymond's. Death is the only thing that can separate them. We wish Tom great success in his future undertakings. George Martin- Dog,qie Much study is a weariness to the flesh. We have here the brains of chestnuts, the star forward of the Basket Ball Team and the 'Acrookf' George is a wonderful dancer, besides his other accomplishments. He, too, is a ladies' man' having captured the affections of nu- merous girls, his latest victim being Nell. George is an ideal crook as was shown by his actions in the Senior play. He and Nell were some accomplices CU. Too bad the play only comes once a year, 'ADoggie. George will succeed father as champion blacksmith of Pottsville. We wish him success in his future affairs. 25 Ethel Harrison- Ethel For silence and chaste reserve is woman's genuine pralsef' Ethel certainly is an exception to her sex, for she very seldom speaks. She is fond of reading and spends a great part of her time in doing so. She is to be complimented on her regular attendance even though she lives in St. Clair. This young lady intends some day to be a language teacher. We all wish her much success. Charles H. Williams- Bat Training of body as well as mind is, what he sought. Ladies and gentlemen-VVe now present one of the most noted members of our class. Bat was president of our class, business manager of the book, centre of the Foot Ball Team, pitcher of the Base Ball Team and centre on the Basket Ball Team, so you see Bat sure has trained his body. Charley is a ladies' man, having had several cases since his entry into school, but they lie mainly in the Freshman Class. We wonder which one it is, Charles. l'Bat as a policeman is a good yeoman. After graduating, Charles will study electrical en- gineering and we hope to see him as professor of engineering in U. of P. rr Hattie Weiner- Hattie Patience and gentleness is power. Hattie is one of the quiet girls of the class. She is quite studious, and usually has an answer for any question asked her. She was two years in the Commercial Department and we welcomed her when she changed to the H. S. course. Hattie is a man-hater. She and Frances are close friends. WVe wish her suc- cess in the business world after her gradu- ation. 26 Lois Eberwein- Louey , Tip Beware nf spnfming and mnnningf' ' Oh, and here's Port Carbon's representative! l.ouey is very quiet and bashful in classes, hut out of them, oh, my! Her blushing must have captured iRoseherry's heart because he has made several visits to Port Carbon lately. ln later years we hope to hear of them settling down in a little cottage near Stevie's Dam. William Haskins- Bill T come from haunt of cnet and liernf' And so he does. Bill wends his weary way every morning' from the wilds and woody jungles of Mt. LaHee to school. He appears to he quiet and bashful, but get him started and oh, my-l He is a strong advocate of The Freedom of the Trish and of Prohibi- tion, Allow us to explain the causes. Bill , you see, is Irish himself and second, his father is a manufacturer of soft drinks. We wish him success in future life. - Elizabeth Hoffmaster-- Biss' CByssj f 1'he sweetest noise on earth, a VV0l'Il5il'1lS tongue- a string which has no discord. . Byss is a great talker, always ready to stand up for the right, especially inMr.l,ehr's English class. Byss'l, Ruth and Vondie form an almost inseparable trio. In fact, the whole trio talks a great deal, but what would our class he without their chattering? Byss ' allieetion for the opposite sex does not lie in Pottsville, but travels' daily to Philadelphia and Frank at Pitt University. Byss regu- larlv attends the Garden, being a close second to Lila Lee, and afterwards can be found either in Hodgson's or Iinschies. '27 Susan Kuentzler- Susan And still the wonder grew- How one small head could carry all shte knew. Susan is quiet and studious. She is a special friend of Virgil. And no one need think that she paints-those pretty red cheeks are her own. Each spare moment is used in studying. She even stays at lunch hour to study. She will surely make a success as a teacher of Latin, Sergeant Roseberry-- Raz , Tart Haill Hail! The gang's all heref' 1 Here we have the most important person in the class-the works and everything else. He is a frequent visitor of the Emporium and is Harry's right-hand man. He is base ball manager of this year's team. He is also busi- ness manager of the Senior play and from all appearances he seems to be the director of the show. T-le is also noted for his oratorical ability. He .has already succeeded in convinc- ing some of the faculty of the infinite small- ness of his mind. We hope his future will be a success. , Marie Kenna- Josie ' Irish maid with eyes 0f'blue, ' Gray and happy, fair and true. This Trish maiden comes from that great city-New Philadelphia. Marie and Marian are great chuins, and a member of the dinner bunch. She is one of the quiet ones of our class but she is more than gifted with mental quality. Being studious, she never bothers with boys -and we vvifh her much success in her career after graduation. 28 Vincent Gallo- Vincenzo'l I have much within myself that pleases me. Vincel' might have I'l'll1Cl1 in his barber shop, but we doubt if he has much in his head. is too industrious to come to school half of the time, being engaged in massaging his cus- tomer's faces. Vince is a great military student. He formerly was a sergeant in the R. O. T. C. but resigned to the dismay of his superiors. Vinee's ambition is to become as great an officer as his brother Angelo. Walter Klein- Aloysius , Looney Empty wagons make the most noise. I Wfe have here the class walking encyclopedia. NValter sure does eat up the big' Words. He has read Plutareh's Lives and many other ancients This is one of his originals Said Aristotle unto Plato, lfVonlt you have a sweet potato P Said Plato unto Aristotle, No thank you, I prefer the bottle. W'e wish Walter much success as a minister. Raymond Brqbst- Ray 'tHe that loves his bed never, never will excel. Ray certainly loves his bed, rarely coming to school on time. Ray is a very important man in High School affairs, being manager of the track team, stage manager and will some day become official announcer for the K. O. Lawrence bout to be held at Seven Stars He and Tommy are inseparable. Where one is the other is sure to be found. Ray will some day become president of the P. 81 R. 29 Hazel Sylvester- Hazel t'Give every Hying minute Something to keep in store. Another member of the Mortimer gang. She is very studious, studying every night- except the nights she goes to the Garden. Hazel is one of the Senior girls who has taken advantage of the commercial branches offered during the junior and Senior years, She is a good stenographer and typist and we wish her success in the business World. Karl Wagner-- Spin The census embraces nineteen million women. Fd like to be the census. This is Karl's ambition. He knows more girls than the census man himself. VVherever Karl wanders with the athletic teams he meets old acquaintances. Sm enjoys moonlight ' ' na ' rx t' Walks home es Jeciall with Kit. He was i Y the manager of the famous P. H. S. Basket Ball Team of '20, and also captain of the Base Ball Team. Spin also is a great musician, rivaling Paderewski in the playing of the swmettc. Karl will some day take Davy l3ancroft's place en the Phillies, Clare Long- Lanky I am resolved to grow fat and look young at forty. We are sure this 'is Clare's ambition, but we know her greatest one is following in the footsteps of Miss Betz or Mr. Knowles. Since the arrival of Miss Hawkins, the music in- structor, they have become fast friends, and were seen one Sunday enjoying a hike together.. Clare is President of the famous French Club. She has' always used her talents to the best advantage and We feel confident she will have all success in life. 30 Marguerite Patton- Peggy Vl'hz1t: l-'ly from love-vain hope: there's no retreat, When he has wings and I have only feet. VVe have here the worst case --it even rivals Romeo and Juliet. HPeg never enjoyed the movies till this year, when Francis cap- tured her affections. Now they visit tl1e Garden at least once a week. When Dr. VVillowby made love to .loan Carr in the Senior play Peggy was very interested CPPFJ. But we know Peggy is not always fickle but has some brains, and as all stories end, they will live happily ever after. Francis K. Moll- Mollie For him the world holds but one-Peg. Let us now present Captain Francis K. Moll, Cadet Adjutant. Here is one of the hopeless of the class. He has frequently applied to Charlie . for aid in his struggles with love. He is not dealing with military tactics, but rather against the unconquerable heart of woman. Mollie is a great actor. He has improved greatly in love making under Miss Critz's careful instruction. Mollie desired to become a dancer, but as Peg's ambitionis to marry a missionary, of course Francis must follow suit to keep peace in the family. His favorite song is the 'llsittle Brown Church in the VVildwood. May they rest in peace. Margaret Schoen- Schoeny The only medicine that does woman more harm than good is dress. ' Has any girl ever gone into the cloak-room flioom 25 without encountering HSchoeny be- fore the mirror curling her spittie and powdering her nose? And her snapshots-you have surely seen them. Some day Schoeny will probably follow in the footsteps of her sister and become a nurse and make some fellow happy. 31 Isabel Clay- Issy What I have been taught, I've forgot, and what I know, I've guessed. Isabel is the mother of our class. This has been proven by the various shows she has taken part in. And lssy lives up to her motto, too, as she is a come-day-go-day and very happy girl. Some day she will surprise her associates by falling in love, then beware! She will break the heart of every good looking chap in town. Sterling Mengel- Soup Vamp, Vamp, Vamp, I hardly knew you. Yes, that is Soup's favorite expression. One would hardly think it, to look at him, but he does just the same. Soup came from the Haven at the beginning of our last year and is a member of the Dinner Bunch. His best meal was the day his coffee was flavored with salt fso he saysj. 'fSoup was a very indus- trious student at the beginning of the year, but soon fell to vamping. He has succeeded in vamping several Freshics, his cousin, and his latest victim is M. Cij L. K. We wish you great success Soup. Kathryn Mack- Kit I might be your once-in-a-while. This is Kit's chief occupation. As far as we known, she has never had a steady, but this does not mean that she is without boy friends, for she is not. She is with a different one every night in the week. We have been trying to keep a record of her cases, but in vain-the only one we remember is Karl. Classmates, this is the girl who had charge of the arrangement of the pictures in her Dad's window-have your revenge. We hope to see Kitl' settle down in the near future, and then of course, the old story. 32 Harry Leiby- Harry , Father Fold thy palms across thy breast, Fold thine arms, turn to thy rest. Let them rave. Harry is our representative who saw service. over-seas. Harry has profited greatly by his experience. 'lhe war has placed Harry two years behind' in l1is scholastic standing, but nevertheless he had the courage to return and complete his course with our class. Harry is captain of this year's Track Team and is one of the fastest men who ever put on spiked shoes for P. H. S. His running brings back the days of loc Morrison. NVC wish Harry success Ruth Wertley-- Wert1ey HA woman's head is always indueneed by hex' heart.' ' Alas, too true! Shrimp found this out to his sorrow. He has her for his commencement partner, but as for the rest, Where is Doogan ? Ruth is another member of the famous sex- tette. Vondie,l' Byssl' and Ruth form an inseparable triumvirate. Under careful instruc- tions of 'KDoogan Nell has responded quickly as an accomplice in crime. We Wish them greatest success in their future crimes. 33 in his future life.

Four years have passed and long c'rc since VVe've dropped our childish traits C? ?fl XVe now must enter the Wide world, And leave our old class-mates. Yes, we entered High as Freshmen, And green We were then, too, For we wandered through unfamiliar halls XVondering what to do. Some sadlv confused the class rooms, For out they came with perplexed looks And shyly peeked into another- One even asked for some Guide Books. llut we really Weren't stupid as a class For soon We learned the tricks of the trade And from Algebra certain giggling girls XVere often excused to learn to be staid. Mr. Timlin found us distressing- The garrulous ones no one could restrain, And after school for talking All Freshmen from Study Hall, he'd detain. Deelamation worried everyone, 34 lloetors were sought- --some not in vain-A llut those whose health was evident llad to endure the strain. And before the school we reeited, Qllpon that huge platformj Kleaningless words were uttered in jerks, llue to stage-fright and brain-storm. llnexpeetedly we survived that year, And he who passed subjects four Found to his great joy and relief lle was in truth a Sophomore, Sophomore means fresh fool, And I fear we lived up to the name, For now we had passed our Freshinan year And we wanted to spread our fame. M r. NVeiss no longer frightened us As he did the year before- -A For sophisticated now was eaeh, Though only a Sophomore! This year two teachers left the school To travel far and wide. A A missionary Miss Downing became, Mr. lVerner in France soon arrived. Misses Smith and Short their plaees filled, Although missing the other two, lVe welcomed them to the school, Trying to help them forget they were new. l'.ater in the yea1', after a long illness, Miss Holt quietly passed away. Her pupils will always remember ber For her kind and gentle way. lfdgar Snyder, the ehemist of our class, llrought ether to English one day To try experiments there in the room, Much to Miss Short's dismay. llut luckily his experiments failed, For the windows were thrown open Wide, And the onlv result to Fldgar and friends Wlas that Mr. Weiss them did ehide. This year the school bank was opened 3 For two weeks we saved with a vim, And then our hopes were blasted, And our visions of wealth grew dim. 'Cause to save you have to sacrifice, 33 To save means no sundaes nor shows--f And we really found it as easy To discover Where money grows. In Caesar class one day A noise like a mouse was heard In the ventilator at the back of the room, And the paper in the trash-box stirred. The noise continued, a search was made. CAlas, the truth must be told lj Lee Hummel was found hiding there, Bravely trying to keep out the cold. Two years have alrady quickly passed--v Learned juniors now are we, And we wonder if it will take Two or three years, graduates to be. Now we were really juniors! That day always seemed far away, And although our class was smaller Most had passed, we were proud to say. Mr. Diehl was made Principal this year, Mr. XVeiss became Head of the Schoolsg Three changes in the Faculty were made, And an addition of many new rules. llut we in school were only one month XVhen the flu epidemic began, For live long weeks everything was closed Not till then did they lift the ban. The custom of class trees was renewed At Christmas time this year, About the lack of trimming on our tree The other classes did jeer. After Christmas the demerit system was used Nobody was allowed even to talk, And if anyone collected twenty-five, From out of Qld High he must walk. In Spring we had a picnic Out at Marlin Lake, And a certain fair young damsel An unfortunate step did take. In her desire to set right off In a boat with another young friend, She deliberately stepped in the water And her pleasure for the day did end. Although losing a few of our class-mates. 36 On Senior Commencement Day, Wife admired their ambition And wished them good luck alway. Seniors are supposed to be dignified, And their credits to number fourteen, And those who had qualifications Their feathers surely did preen. But for some the day was not far off XVhen their high and mighty pride, On account of grades, received a blow, And was carefully laid aside. XVhen we came back in September More changes in the Faculty had been made- Messrs. Booth, l.ehr and Frederici VVere the ones to whom attention was paid. This year the R. O. T. C. was continued, fXVhich was started last year in the Springj Under comand of Captain Larkins- Results prove it a splendid thing. The uniforms came a few months ago, And the boys naturally strut around As though they are monarchs of all they survey Or King of the YVorld had been crowned. VVe had a successful team On the foot ball field this fall, For the nerve and grit of each man Our laud and praise justly call. After Christmas wegave a vaudeville show, Wlhich Miss Boyer managed again, And in which Mr. Booth led the minstrels, To buy sweaters for the foot ball men. NVe have come to the time when we must part, But we will always remember these days, And we'll not forget the friends made here, Nor the teachers, who have helped always. But in reminiscing o'er past days Let us not forget all those XVho left our class to go their ways, And make other friends or foes. Some left to go to other schools, Qthers have moved away, Few even left to go to work, XYhile we did here delay. 37 And to you, U Teachers, 21 tozwt We That you may have in future years All happiness, to blot out the sud, All joy, to keep away the tears. lt matters not where'er we he, After we leave Old High, add Our fondest thoughts will he of thee, Thou wilt be zxlvruys nighf' 33 JM 'F 'M ffJ2':i:g- , .4.f.21..,,W 7' ggi-3, gf6,j:aa!1Qq.1:x4-221 PII?

I thought of the girls-back to the garden-f-all the flowers were in bud. The soft gray was pushing thro the brown eases of the pussy- willow, the greenish Ilower of the lilac bush was growing bigger and whiter, from the tight red bud of the rose the petals began slowly to loosen and curl back, from under- neath the green bud of the Shirley poppy a soft satinv pink showed, the white petals of the daisv shoved its green sepals aside and the hollx hoek's round bud opened to let the colorful petals of its flowers out, and the green- ness of the sweet alyssium became dotted with white. And then all the flowers were open and in the white lilac was Naomi and in the heart of the crimson rose, Mildred Smith laughed. Sara nodded in the Shirley poppies and -ll Helen swayed in the pussy-willows. Ruth smiled from the yellow center of the daisy and Marian Shaw was nestled in the hollyhockls bell and Elsie danced forth from the white massed flowers of the alyssium that trailed happily along.

HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1923 Minna Hutchinson One day in September, 1919, a group of forlorn-looking boys and girls came into the building of the Pottsville High School. They were Freshmen, having their first experience in entering the school as students. Thev had. after eigtht years of work in the grade-schools, attained the acme of their ambition--they were enrolled as students of the Pottsville High School. For a few davs, confusion reigned supreme. How should the program be arranged? VVhen we thought we had at last arranged it to the apparent satisfaction ot the teachers and ourselves, we were told that we must change it again for some reason which seemed very vague to us. After many changes and re-changes, we finally succeeded in making a definite program. Then, work started in earnest. VVe began to realize that there was hard work connected with the school, besides other more pleasant things. Some entered into the work with a zest, but a few others began from the first to reap the failure which may deprive our class of their membership. Hazing, which is usually the terror of all Freshman, was not indicted upon our class as a Whole, except for one attempt. One day after we had been in school for a few months, an announcement was read in class which said that all Freshmen should read a notice on the bul- letin board. XVhen the class was over, a crowd of Fresh- men surged around the bulletin board. Thev were filled with importance that a special mesage had been pub- lished' for them in particular. Then as each one read the 50 notice, shouts of laughter could be heard all around the crowd. It is not necessary to tell the purport of the notice. The instigators and victims of the plan and the greatly amused on-lookers all know what was written there. llut it can not he said that it's advice was heeded. It was not long before the mid-year examinations loomed like a black storm of clouds on our fair horizon. To some they were only threats of impending danger but to others they really betokened great storm and con- fusion. For a week before the examination almost every- one was intent on study and thens-fthe testsl It is a painful recollection and one to he quickly passed over. Some of the Freshmen had been interested in athletics, hut none of the Freshmen greatly distinguished them- selves in this line. However, we still have a future of three years in which to win honors and glory for our class. VVe formed a Literary Society, as all the classes were requested to do. The Literary Societies presented pro- grams, which took the place of declamation. The Fresh- man Society presented only one program this year, but we hope we have made up in quality what we have lacked in quantity. The weeks have lengthened into months and now we find ourselves almost at the end of our Freshman year. The time until the end of the term is short and will quickly pass. Vtie find ourselves on the brink of our Sophomore year. .YVhat does it hold forth to us? XYe cannot tell but We hope thatit will be success for all of our classmates and that through the success of its mem- bers, the Class of 1923 may always live in the memory of the school. Rhyming Recollections glean Allan: . She has a very tender heart, Although to tell toward whom I will not start. blames Archbald: A study we know he finds no delight in And hopes not to find, is Freshman Latin. Esther liaehertz She writes successful character sketches, Although, l fear, some things she stretches. Yerna llastz ' She is quiet and bright, And must study all night. 51 Alice Bergen: ' Her work in Algebra is always right, As an example she is a shining light. Charles Berger: Upon him our class did confer The honor and work of editor. Ray Berkheiser: He knows the wonders of ancient time, But these do not lit well into rhyme. Gordon Ely: . In Ancient History he is most originalg He sometimes says things that no book did ever tell. Annie Evans: Although she may be otherwise gifted, lWe fear her lessons are often shifted. Alfred Fernsler: That he is short in stature is conceded by allg llut his gift of speech is not nearly so small. Howard lfernsler: In the Latin class it doth him behoove ' From other things to Caesar his thoughts to move. Karl lflail 1 Of this boy l know nothing to tell, For his friends all guard their knowledge well. Lester Flail: A Hail is a grain-thresher, as we all know 3 lint he, contrary to his name, Latin-threshing ability does not show. Thomas Flanagan: He usually knows his lessons well, This, of some boys, is strange to tell. lrene Glaser: She studies hard so that she may pass, 4 And is a somewhat garrulous lass. Evelyn Glenwwright: She gained great renown in Hockey, For the Freshman captain was she. Helen Grady: She certainly believes that study will pay, And no doubt her studv will some dav. gl ean Gray : Although at talking she is adept, ller liest thoughts are on paper kept. 52 Allen Hater: He does not love lessons, that is plain, Algebra especially seems a bane. Hanna: I vocabulary is of such a great rate, strangehis mind can bear such a weight. Carson His 'Tis listher. Hanney: This girl is very quiet and has little to say, But she may become garrulous some day. Mary Harron: Her favorite UH mode of recreation Is studying about some ancient nation. Isabel Haskins: Probably she too linds lessons a bane, But that she studies is very plain. Merlin Hepler: For a boy he's unusually UB quiet, In Latin especially he is known to try it. Frederick Hoefel: He was a regular foot ball hero, As his injuries last Fall did plainly show. Loretta Horan: She is very quiet and is seldom heard To utter an unnecessary word. Loretta Kendrick: A late arrival in our class, VVith a certain Freshman is oft seen to pass. Sara Louise Hoefer This girl our comprehension is beyond, For of Algebra work she was very fond. Marian Hopkins: Through her our class Hrst won fame, She was our first editor in deed and name.

Blew ln the fall of 1918, after struggling eight long years in the graded schools, we entered the first year of our busi- ness career. As allvwho attended High School know, there are many curious questions asked such as, K'XVhere do we go? XVhat shall we do? Such was the case with us, but we soon became accustomed to the building. Although hard studying took up most of our time, We had several socials and picnics at which Prof. Knowles proved that he could forget he was a teacher and enjoy himself as much as anyone else. In September, 1919, we came back as Seniors, but our class had greatly decreased, some having gone to work, others still remaining juniors. This, however, did not deject us and we resolved to keep up the standard ofthe school. 1 shall now try to tell you something of the members of our class. Russell Acker is our dwarf-the best goods generally come in small packages. Josephine Althouse is the shining light of the class and an all-around student UD. Harry Bean has become popular with the girls of the class.

XVe surely feel more confidence in ourselves now than we did when we wandered uneertainly about the halls looking for the rooms to which we had been assigned. Among those who trod the halls of fame in uncer- tainty are the following: Francis Ammoifs love affair is the despair of all the other girls. XYilliam Bertseh is an all-round athlete.

' Alice Kennedy is one of our charming out-of-town girls. She lives in far-away Port Carbon. Hazel Kenney is our old reliable who sometimes gets irresponsible giggles. Minnie Kaminetsky always introduces the latest modes from Paris. ' 63 Loretta Kenney is always seen hurrying to classes about five minutes after the bells have rung. H Clyde Lebengood is noted for his ability for getting out of classes. He is commonly known as Fungi.', Carrie Leiby is about the most cheerful and best- natured girl in the school. ' VVho does not know Minette Lord? Minette is popular with everyone but very much so with H. B. Kathryn Manwiller is one of our very charming girls. She is very studious because she says study is becoming. In Kathryn's case, we agree. Constance Meyer creates a sensation in her Girl Scout uniform. David Michel is always in love and is always stung. Teresa Minchoff's black curls are the envy of everyone.

She even sleeps with an Arithmetic book under her pillow. Esther XVeissinger knows the prices of all kinds of household articles. She is about to go into the business. Frances NVerner never speaks unless spoken to. Oh, goodness no! Is it Sister who attracts Misses Young and Moser so much that they always stay for lunch?

A. are as follows Donald Christ, Presidentg Helen Riekert, Vice-Presidentg Ruth XVertley, Secretaryg Harry Bausum, Student Treasurer. The Foot Ball Team made- a very creditable name for itself, losing only one game and tying one. The boys- certainly deserved some reward for the splendid showing they made so through the kindness of Miss Anne Boyer, a show was held the proceeds being devoted to a fund for the purchase of sweaters. The annual A. A. Dance was held in December and was well attended by teachers, students and alumni of the school. The proceeds were turned over to the Treasurer. The music was furnished by Seltzer's Orchestra and was enjoyed by all. Basket Ball and Track activities were renewed this year after a few years absence. Both had successful sea- sons, considering all circumstances. Hockey had a very good season. Inter-class games were held, the Sophomores winning the championship. This also was under the supervision of the Athletic Asso- ciation. ' 68 'm ! 1 w I '11 A V C -3 U1 3' X-4 1-4 13 Si 7 1 I ie 00 Q 69 Q gi Na, The Season's Games 1Valter S. Farquhar, '05 livery loyal Pottsvillian should be proud of the 1919 Foot llall record. No team since 1900 has done anything like it. The 1919 team ranks as one of the best we have ever had and certainly the best in the last twenty years. ln speed and team-work alone, no team we have ever had could compare to it, either before or after 1900. More powerful teams we have had, but none faster. This team won the city's support as no previous team has ever done. After years of effort, Pottsville at last came to realize that the old Crimson and Xlvhite had turned out a real team, one which eould more than hold its own with the largest schools in the State. On the season's play only three teams in Fastern- Central Pennsylvania can show a better record: Harris- bursf Tech., Easton and Lebanon. Harrisburg Tech. had the championship High and Prep School team for the entire country and was in a class by itself, but it is doubt- ful if l.ebanon and Easton could have defeated Pottsville on our .own field. Comparative scores show that P. H. S. was on a par with any of the big Philadelphia high schools last fall. The defeat at Lebanon denied us the riguht to claim State championship honors, but even considering that tragedy, the record was remarkable. Here it is: P. H. S., 6g Qrwigsburg High and Ex-High, 0. P. H. S., 37g Pottstown High, 6. P. H. S., 7, Mt. Carmel High, 6. P. 'H. S., Og Reading High, O fat Readingb. P. H. S., 27, llahanoy City High, O. P. H. S., 255 Steelton High, 2. P S., 36, Tamaqua High, O fat Tamaquaj. .H.- 70 P. H. S., 0, Lebanon High, 28 fat l.ebanonD. l'. H. S., 355 Lansford High, 13. 17. H. S., 275 Shamokin High, 6. a P S., 51, Sunbury High, 0. Steelton Game liirst and foremost in the seasonis review comes the Steelton 25-Z victory. This was one of the greatest victories of all time for P. H. S., and it is only to be compared with the 35-0 victory over Reading in 1897. lt was the first time l'ottsville defeated Steelton in any kind of an athletic contest and the game is referred to as the most brilliant ever played by a l . H. S. foot ball team. The victory was clean-cut, Pottsville's scores coming as the result of consistent advances, right down the field. Steelton was not weak and had tied Lancaster only the previous Saturday. This victory set the old town buzzing with excitement and rallied old grads. to the games, who had not visited lDolan's Park in years. ' Reading Game The 0-0 result with Reading on their own field was a great moral victory. P. H. S. outplayed Reading and should have won by two touchdowns. It was the first time since 1900, 1'. H. S. has done anything like that on Reading's field. Tn 1897 we won 35-0, in 1900 we won 11-5, in 1918 we tied them at home, but in all other games played, Reading was on the long end by varying scores, which were sometimes close and sometimes one-sided. An accident to the Pottsville full-back, early in the game, prevented- us from surpassing the 1900 record. Shamokin Game The 27-6 victory over Shamolcin loomed up very big to old grads. 111 the old days, Shamolqin was a big rival, and although close games were played, l'. H. S. could never defeat them. This score was the largest ever made against Shamokin by a Pottsville team and was only the second time Kin the writerls memoryl that we have been able to defeat them at all, the other being the 13-0 victory in 1913. Shamokin's team was on a par with their previous teams and although they played a hard game, they were forced to yield to Pottsville's bewildering attack. Alumni, who played for l'. H. S. eighteen years ago, attribute the victory to a varied and wonderful offensive, which was lacking in their day. 71 Sunbury Game Sunbury had a lighter team than P. H. and was out- classed from the start in the Thanksgiving game, but it was about time the Crimson and White faced a lighter team. The score, '51-0, stands as the largest score ever made by a P. H. S. team against any opponent at any time, and former P. H. S. teams have faced weaker opposition than Sunbury put up last fall. Tamaqua Game The 36-0 victory at Tamaqua was the largest score ever made by P. H. S. against Tamaqua, either at home or away. lt was made on a wet field under severe handi- caps. P. H. S. has only been able to win at Tamaqua in 1905, 1912, 1914, 1918 and 1919, although Tamaqua has never fwithin the writer's memoryj defeated us at Pottsville. Pottstown Game The 37-6 victory over Pottstown was the first notable victory of the season. This was not the largest score ever made against Pottstown, as the 1918 team won 38-0, but had not the entire scrub team been put in, P. H. S. would easily have broken all records against Pottstown. Mt. Carmel Game P. H. S. faced Mt. Carmel in a' terribly weakened con- dition, early in the season. Deull, the team's best ground gainer, together with several other regulars, was out of the game. The team had not yet found itself and was fortunate to win. However, had Mt. Carmel been played at the time of the Shamokin game, the score would have been about the same as .it was in that case. The victory is notworthy because it was the first time we defeated Mt. Carmel at home. In 1914 P. H. S. was leading, 6-2, at Mt. Carmel, when the game broke up, since which time the teams have not met. In 1910 and 1911 Mt. Carmel bowled us over on our own field, with a team no better than their 1919 team. Mahanoy City Game The 27-0 victory over Mahanoy City was the largest score ever made by P. H. S. against that team. The teams have not been meeting regularly, but around the years 1907 or 1908 Mahanoy City defeated us. 72 Lansford Game The 35-13 Victory over Lansford was unsatisfactory, but it must be remembered that Pottsville started the game with many substitutes in the line-up. Lansford then uncorked a wonderful forward passing attack, after which the Hrst string men were put in and l'. H. S. turned a seemingly close game into a last quarter route. Orwigsburg Game The Orwigsburg game was the opener of the season. There were many unsatisfactory incidents connected with 1'ottsville's play, but the Orwigsburg team was a High and Ex-High team, Qmeaning that it was about the best team from that townj. Orwigsburg had practiced diligently and hoped to put a surprise over, which they would have succeeded in doing had they been facing an ordinary team. l'. ll. S. would have undoubtedly won by a large score had the game been played late in the season. Lebanon Game The Lebanon game was nothing short of a tragedy. P. ll. S. hardly expected to win from the 185 pound Lebanon team on their own Held, but the 28-O score by no means shows the relative merits of the teams. 13. H. S. actually outgained Lebanon from scrimmage, queer as that statement appears, but owing to mistakes and bad breaks, Lebanon was able to make spasmodic gains and run up a score. There was no such thing as walking the ball right down the lield as Pottsville did against Steeltong it was hit or miss foot ball, with Lebanon's team on the lucky side of the ledger. The score should have been 8-O, and Pottsville's mistakes gave Lebanon those eight points. A grain of consolation is found in the fact that Lebanon defeated all other visitors to their Held by twice the num- ber of points run up against 13. H. S. In view of this analysis, it is seen that our 1919 record was really remarkable and few previous P. H. S. teams can show so many and varied achievements. The 1919 bunch was a real team, the line being the heaviest since 1902, The backfield was only of average weight, but it was unexcelled in speed and smoothness of teamwork. 73 lt is unfair to praise the individual players, as the success of the team was due to co-operation, but a few remarks on their individual prowess are not out of place. Youngfleish, left end and full-back-Jerome Youngileish was a fairly heavy and experienced end. He played with-the team previous to enlisting for the war in the Navy, but only for one season. He is not to be confused with Frank and Carter Youngfleish, former P. H. S. players, as he is the youngest of three brothers. Youngfleish is a bear at cutting down inter- ference and a sure tackler. In the last half of the season, he was drilled to take Hoffmaster's place at full-back, which he did to perfection. Youngfleish bore the brunt of attack against Shamokin and it was his playing more than anyone else's that pulled the game out of the fire that day. The Shamokin game stands as a monument to this player. Golden, left tackle and captain-Norman Golden won the dis- tinction of being picked for a tackle position on the All-Pennsyl- vania team, an honor not often won by a Pottsville player. Golden weighs 185 pounds and is fast with it. On the one man back formation, he was run with the ball, always responding with a gain. His offensive and defensive play was stellar. No one game is given to his credit, as he starred in all. Fleming, right guard-Andrew Fleming was a big and rugged guard, who held his own against all opponents. Hopkins had a calm confidence about him that encouraged the entire team. His work against Steelton, Reading and Lebanon was very noticeable. Williams, centre-Charles VVilliams ranks as the best centre P. H. S. has had since 1902, when Chock Striegel occupied that position. Willianis was heavy and fast and was deadly accurate in his passing. with one or two exceptions. This man outplayed every centre he met, barring none, and should have been con- sidered for the All-Pennsylvania team. ' McLaughlin, right guard-Edward McLaughlin was a heavy, fast and rangy guard. When he first reported for the team he was very green and responded to coaching slowly, but in the last half of the season he arrived with a bang and played a brilliant and hard game. McLaughlin played conspicuously against Steelton. In the Lansford game, he was on the bench throughout the first half, but his entrance later braced P. H. S. 50W and paved the way to'a good-sized victory. This game proved McLaughlin's true worth to the team. . Roseberry, right tackle-Sergeant Roseberry was a fast and rangy tackle, who rose to the occasion in the big games. His fighting spirit, when aroused, was unexcelled. The 7-6 victory over Mt. Carmel was due to Roseberry, as he kicked the goal from touchdown that added the winning point. It was a ticklish situation and everyone on the field knew the game depended on the goal. Brown, right end-John Brown was a light but fast end. Like Roseberry, he showed great fighting spirit when aroused. Brown won his spurs in the Reading game, after which no fears were felt concerning him. He played conspicuously well against Steelton Reilly, quarter-back-James Reilly was one of the 74 fbrainiest and smoothest quarter-backs who ever represented P. H. S. Beside running the team well, he was very fast, capable of taking the ball around the end or through the line. As a 'defensive back, he was one of the best in the State. Reilly's most brilliant effort was the advance for the first touchdown against Shamokin. lt took thirteen plays to take it over for the first six points, and Reilly had to use everything he had to do it-. The way in which he mixed his plays was a revelation, which showed spectators the real powers of the team. This first ad- vance won the Shamokin game as surely as day and night, and without it, they might have torn us to pieces. Christ, half-back-Donald Christ was a fast and heavy back- field man, who played a difficult position in acceptable style. Christ bore the brunt in interference in almost every play, doing much valuable work that went unnoticed. Toward the end of the season, Christ developed an uncanny ability to run with the 'ball on the one man back formation. He shared honors with Youngfieish in the Shamokin game and it was he who literally tore Sunbury to pieces every time he was given the ball. Against 'Stcelton he played an important part, as planned. In the Read- ing game, he advanced on a line plunge, from his own 10-yard line to mid-field. Deull, half-back-Harold Deull was the star of the team and was picked for the second All-Pennsylvania team, his weight alone keeping him off the first. NVeighing only l35 pounds, he was able to penetrate the heaviest line and was a regular eel in the open field. On defense he was unexcelled by any schoolboy back in the State. He was also a fair punter. Deull started in every game and against Reading won the plaudits of even the opposing crowd by his single-handed efforts to put the ball over the line. This man ranks right up with Dave Bechtel, Cack Hill, Bill Tyson, Yank Youngfieish, Cherry Simonds and -other well known P. H. S. backfield men of former years. Hoffmaster, full-back-George Hoffmaster was an excep- tionally light full-back, but his speed and ability to team-work made him a star. If there was a hole on the line, Hoffmaster would findit. ln running off tackle, he was most efficient. Hoffmaster gained yard for yard with Deull, until the end of the season, when injuries weakened him. His playing against Steel- ton was the most conspicuous of our back-field players, as he averaged ten yards at a clip. It was the injury to Hoffmaster that prevented P. H. S. from defeating Reading, for had he been in the game to share the attack with Deull, P. H. S. would surely have scored two touchdowns. Hoffmastcr was also a good punter and forward passer. Hummel, manager-Lee Hummel was a small but able man- ager, who never missed a practice and kept close tabs on things. Martz, end-Lloyd Martz started the season as a substitute, but got into every game, and must be classed as a regular end. VVhen Youngfleish was shifted to full-back, Martz was always sent in at end and this shift was frequently made. Martz started many games because of injuries to either Hoffmaster, Young- Heish or Brown. His playing was steady at all times and in the Thanksgiving game, his cutting down of three men out of the interference was conspicuously evident. 75 YVagner, quarter-hack-Carl VVagner must also be classed as az regular, as he was able to play quarter-back to perfection when- ever called on. He was very light but fast. Against opponents' of equal weight, VVagner always starred, but against teams like Reading and Lebanon, he was at a disadvantage. He opened the- onslauffht against Pottstown and starred against Tamaqua. Switsavage, sub-guard or tackle-Alonzo Switsavage was the- most loyal man on the team. Being' young and inexperienced, he was at a disadvantage at first, but stuck to it until his services became valuable. As a defensive guard, he did all that could be- expected and should be a big asset next year. Switsavage sat on the bench without complaint until his chance came. Keenan, sub-guard or tackle-Robert Keenan was handicapped by illness at the start of the season, but came along strong at the close. After returning to condition, Keenan became an im- movable guard, whose services were needed in all games. Follett, sub-tackle-Arthur Follett was an aggressive though light tackle. 1-le stuck to the team, playing on the scrubs in 1918 and 1919, for which he was rewarded by being put in enough games to win his UP. Follett had the distinction of playing in: part of the Steelton game. Bcyerle, sub-backfield-Clarence Beyerle was a light but fast back-field man. He was able to step into any back-field posi- tion with perfect mastery of the signals, his ability to learn them quickly standing him in good stead. Beyerle played full-back against the heavy Reading team and gave the best that was in him. Honorable Mention-The players named above are the letter men, but there were others worthy of comment: Rettig, Deisher, Morgan, Toussaint and others stuck manfully to the team and should develop into valuable players. 1: A I fb fs x 5 4 EASE-BALL ' U I U .

As the field was in a very poor condition, no practice could be held and the candidates were not called for until April l2. About fifteen men reported, but the first two games were cancelled because of the Weather conditions. Some good base ball material is in the school and a good team should be turned out. Mr. Farquhar, the coach, is getting a team into shape from the rather small number of candidates and greater hopes are being held forth for the remaining games than with theifirst two played- -Taniacpia and l.ansford both defeating the Crimson and XYhite by close scores. The defeats were due to the errors made, because of the lack of practice. P. H. S. was defeated by Tamaqua with the score of ll-5, in a closely contested game. l ottsVille's lineup Was: Stoudt, 3bg Brown, lfg NVagner, cfg Schuster, cg lDeull,fssg Martz, Zbg Hay, rfg Keenan, lbg Wlilliams, p. In the l.ansford contest the game ended with a score of S-6 in favor of Lansford, The line-up was practically the same as the Tamaqua game, with the exception that Vlfagner twirled for P. H. S. in the game. The interest in thesport is not what it should be, and for this reason a record- breaking team cannot be picked from such a small number of candidates. ' 79 TRACK TEAM fi . H. S. A QQ, ES 3 Gffmmia A call for candidates for the track team was made about February 1, and about twenty candidates reported. The First in-door practice was held in the Y. M. C. A. a few days later, with about ten men on the track. After two and a half months of hard in-door work, these dwindled down to about six men. On April 12 the first out-door practice was held, much to the satisfaction-of the squad, at Agricultural Park. McLaughlin and Christ appeared at the beginning of out-door work. Three weeks of prac- . tice were held under the expert supervision of the coa-ch, Prof. Murray, and on April 28 the final tryout was made' . for the picking of the team., Leiby, Reilly, Christ, Mclaughlin made the team with Aregood first substitute. The team entered the races on May 1, at Franklin Field, with the determination to capture first place. As has beentthe case for the last number of years, P. H. S. had been placed with those schools around Philadelphia, so as with the last team, the team was outclassed in this case by Lansdale. P. H. S. taking third place. The Lansdale team completely outclassed all its competitors, making the wonderful time of 3.41, which was better than the time made by the competing preparatory schools. Pottsvilleis time was 3.51, with the team in the order they ran, making as follows: Reilly, 57 2-5,5 Christ, 605 Mclaughlin, 58, Leiby, 55 3-5. Every man ran his best, and the defeat was honorable. The relay team wishes to thank Prof. Murray for his excellent coaching and his interest in the team, as he turned out a team who were in as good a physical condition as possible. 81 ' TCA M, EYT HOCK HOCKEY After several years of hard struggling, the girls have linally succeeded in obtaining representation in the line of athletics. 'ph XYhen the new term opened in September each class team held a meeting to elect captains, to represent them. They are: , Seniors .... . . . .Elizabeth Hoffmaster Juniors ...... .......... H elen Foley Sophomores .... ..... I eannette Boone Freshman... ....... Evelyn Clenwright Commercial ...... . ....... Bessie Zacko All the girls took great interest in Hockey and the results were fine strong teams. livery day after school the teams practiced, and due to the kindness of the foot ball squad, they had the use of Dolan's field several after- noons a Week. This was a great help to the teams. ' Also the kindness of Miss Zerbey, former star of the Ciastle School of New York, and Miss Critz, member of the faculty, was greatly appreciated by the girls, as they gave every afternoon up to coach us in Hockey. ' ' The first big game of the season was played on Novem-' ber 15 at Dolanls, the Juniors defeating the Seniors 3-O. This was no disgrace on the part of the Senior girls, as' they all worked hard and showed good team work. Due to the absence of one of the line players a girl from the back field had to be shifted on the line. This mixed things up and helped along defeat for the Seniors. A Some of the plays of the nluniors and Seniors were very' spectacular. The line-up was as follows: 1 Seniors juniors H. Rickert ............... C. F. ..... . .... Flsie blames C.

Hell, '22 83 On November 21, the Commercial Freshmen and the High Freshmen met to play for the championship of the Freshman Class. This was a very clean game and showed wonderful spirit on both teams, the High School Fresh- men defaeting the Commercial by a score of 2-O. On November 22, the winning team of the Freshman. Class met the- Sophomores. This game was largely at- tended. The good spirit of the Freshmen was noticed by everyone. lloth teams played their best and were evenly matched. The score of this game was 2-0 in favor of the Sophomores. Then on November 29, the Sophomores and Juniors were to meet to play for the championship of the school. Tags were printed and a large number sold, but on ac- count of the bad weather the game was postponed until the following Monday. Here was seen some real Hockey. The Misses Shaw and Boone were the stars for the Sophomore Class. Miss Shaw's one spectacular play was when she dribbled the ball for 50 yards. Miss Boone's good clean-cut hits were remarkable for an amateur. Misses Dolan and Moore, of the Junior Class, starred. Miss lDolan's hitting and dribbling was noticed by every- body, while Miss Moore, who played Coaler, kept the ball outof the goal several times. For the first three quarters neither team scored. NVith only three minutes to play in the last half Miss Shaw, of the Sophomore team, shot a goal. This decided the championship of the school. Miss Evelyn Davis, Y. NV. C. A. Secretary, of XVilliams- port, formerly a member of the Pottsville High School Faculty, refereed the game. , To show how , much the teams appreciated Miss Zerbey's coaching, an informal dance was given at the Out-door Club on November 25. Miss Zerbey was pre- sented with red and white 1'oses tied with the school colors. The evening was enjoyed by all in spite of the bad weather. Then on January 6, a banquet was given in honor of the Sophomore Class, at Dives' Bungalow, near Schuylkill Haven. This was one of the most successful events throughout the entire year. After the banquet, games were plaved and there was also dancing. Many of the girls walked home in spite of the bitter cold night. The Senior girls, although they will not have a chance to play again, wish the following classes much success in the way of girls' athletics. 84 BASK FT RA LL TICA M BASKET BALL Line-up Forward ..... .......... ............ ly l artin Forward. . . . . . . .XYalleisa, Beyerle Center. . . ...... McLaughlin Guard .... .... N Villiams, Carroll Guard ................................ Christ, Brigham Manager .................................... NVagner Pottsville High School up to this year, did not have a Basket Ball Team for a number of years. Although receiving a late start, the team nevertheless managed to play six games under the managership of Carl XVagner. Because of the late start of the season, the interest of the school and its supporters was not what it should have been. But one, out of the six games played, was won. A close and plucky tight, however, was put up in each of the other games, and considering the teams played against, such as Bethlehem High and Schuylkill Haven High- teams that have played all season and who are considered among the best in the State, the team put up a good game and are to be commended on their gameness against such discouraging conditions. The lack of a capable coach seriously handicapped the team and this should be taken care of by the beginning of next season. Martin, Beyerle, VV'alleisa, X'Villiams, Christ, Carroll, McLaughlin and Brigham compose the personnel ofthe Basket Ball squad. Martin, NValleisa and Beyerle, the forwards, were fast men and hard to hold down, always to be counted on for a goal at the right moment. VVilliams and McLaughlin, at center, were good on the jump, and fast all-around players. Christ, Carroll and Brigham, in the guard department, held many more ex- perienced players than themselves to a minimum number of baskets and were very good on getting the ball down the Held. The games in their order played: Pottsville High, l9g Schuylkill Haven H. S., 53. Pottsville High, 28, P. Independents, 18. Pottsville High, 93 Bethlehem High, 32.

VValter Klein Vice-President .............. Ada Paul Secretary ....... . .... Charles XVilliams The first program was presented on Roosevelt's Birth- day. In the absence of the President, Ada Paul took charge. Appropriate readings were rendered. Rev. Bawden delivered an excellent address on the life of Roosevelt. The Society made its second appearance November 22, when it produced a farce, The Courtship of Miles Standish. The stage was furnished to represent the colonial home. Gladys Davis impersonated the blushing Priscilla Mullens to perfection. As John Gillars had his arm broken at the time, the part of Miles Standish, the returned veteran, was becoming. VValter Klein seemed very experienced in the actions of john Alden. Lee Hummel, in his little red jacket, made quite a hit as messenger boy. An orginal dialogue was prepared for the Christmas number by one of the members. After spending much time in working up the program, We were unable to have it because of sickness in the school. On account of the numerous school activities, it was impossible to have a very elaborate program for Wash- ington's Birthday. However, the music, speeches and readings were very interesting as well as appropriate. Probably the most appealing part was the Minuet, an old English dance. The eight couples, in their costumes of NVashington's time, were very attractive. JUNIOR LITERARY SOCIETY Edward Lessig, '21 The junior Class was not found tardy in organizing a Literary Society, when this project was suggested by Professor Diehl. At an early date in our school term an enthusiastic Junior Class met in secret session and ' 88 proceeded to make the Junior Literary Society a reality. The following officers were elected: President ....... . ...... Edw. T. Lessig Secretary .............. Ruth Williams These officers, with a program committee of eight, were deemed sufficient to carry on the work. The organization of our Society was none too soon, for Prof. Diehl 'an- nounced the purpose of leaving the Armistice Day program in our hands. This program was arranged and prepared, and on November the eleventh was rendered in open meeting before the High School. In it were called to mind brave deeds, sacrifices and rememberances of those who gave their last full measure of devotion, but calling to mind above all, victory for humanity and triumph of virtue. May we never forget the significance of this victory that Right makes might. A The Society prepared to take part in the Christmas program, but on the morning of the twenty-third it was necessary that the school abandon the exercises of the day, as diphtheria had infected one of the students, making it necessary to place the school under quarantine. january passed and February was at hand, the month wherein were born two of the noblest characters that the world ever produced-VVasl'1ington and Lincoln. The committee arranged for a Lincoln program, which, after some discussion it was decided to make a simple old- fashionecl program-, which would best bring forth the character of this sturdy man of the people. This program was delievered before the High School, February the twelfth. An attractive feature of the program was the roll-call, to which each member of the Society answered with a quotation from the writings or speeches of Lincoln. The noble thoughts and keen, intelligent mind this great man must have had were thus brought forward. And now as the Junior Literary Society, with the train- ing we have had under the guidance and aid of our kind teachers, may we be fitted and able to assume our place as Seniors, as worthy successors to those who have so well filled that position this year 'and to take up the Literary work where they have left off. A89 THE SOPHOMORE LITERARY SOCIETY Carson I-lanna, Secretary. In place of declamation this year the Faculty decided to try a new plan. This was to have a Literary Society for each class. So the Sophomores held a class meeting for the purpose of electing its officers. The following were elected: A President .... .... R uth Ramsey Secretary .............. Robert Keenan This Program Committee was also appointed: Eliza- beth lierger, Mildred Herman, Emily Shaw, Luke Noecker, joseph Rose. The initial program of our Society was on Greek Myths. The following participated: Bruce Clayton read an essay on Greek Mythology. Rita llossler rendered a piano solo. Mary Gerber read some Greek stories. Ruth Haas recited. Ethel Griftith was to have read an essay on the Life of Godfrey Saxes, but she was absent. Miss Smith was our first adviser, but when it was decided that the Freshman Class would have a Society, Miss Hoyer consented to be our adviser. XVC think our first program was a success, but we know there was room for improvement and we hope that we shall improve in our future performances. FRESHMAN LITERARY SOCIETY The Class of 1923 held a meeting for the express pur- pose of forming a Literary Club, October 28, 1919. This meeting proved to be more like recess for the pupils attending. The teachers of the adjoining class-rooms grew somewhat hoarse trying to make themselves under- stood above the din, and as a result the work of the day was- fwell, as one teacher put it-- highly unsatisfactory. However, in the course of time, the chairman established sufficient order to proceed with the business. The following otiicers were elected: President ...... . .... Minna Hutchinson Secretary. . . . . .. .... Carson Hanna 90 Mr. XYendell Freclerici was chose as director, and almost immediately started making out a program to be given exclusiyely to members of the 1923 class, and by the members. About the time this was to be rendered, Miss Frederica Smith, our English instructor, was unani- mously elected to the position of director to succeed Mr. Frederici, who was at that time elected to advise the Sophomore l.iterary Society. lt' was not long after this that the Freshmen were prepared to give their first program to l'. H. S. This proved to be a great success, and this class can well be proud of its participants. The opening song, 'f0ur Bright Starry Banner. was sung with a great show of enthusiasm by the school. Then followed an essay by Miss Frances Miller, on the Life of Dickens. This was liked and generously applauded by all. The third part of the program was a piano solo, skillfully and beautifully played by Miss Mildred Rower. Then followed the sen- sation of the event, which was four selections from Dickens' Christmas Carol, given by Miss Alta Taylor, Arthur Brown, Gerald Rettig and Miss Frances Keenan, They spoke in a manner which would have made Daniel XYebster and others look after their laurels. Seriously speaking, we were proud of the members of our class who took part, and Miss Smith was also. The program was closed by a song, The Quilting Party. 91 1 N 4 1 If he J., xxitiitlltfil The Senior Play- Stop Thief As it is the custom for every Senior Class to give a play, the proceeds of which are to buy some parting gift for the school, a committee chose the farce Stop Thief for the Class of 1920 to present. ' They secured the esti- mable services of Miss Critz as director. , A try-out for the cast was held one afternoon in the Auditorium before some members of the Faculty as judges. The results were as follows: Nell, the leading lady, Miss Ruth XVe1'tleyg .lack Uoogan, the leading man, George Marting Miss Isabelle Clay, who distinguished herself in A Happy Dayf' as an elderly ladv, was given the part of Mrs. Carr and Fdw. McLaughlin as Mr. Carr. The remaining parts were assigned to Misses Von der Heiden, Patton, Paul and Messrs. Kline, Moll, Myers, Gillars, Adcock, XVilliams, Roseberry, Bausum and Kerns. Practices were held after school and at the homes of members of the cast. Fortunately these were not in the quiet zone or the neighbors would have blessed them. VVhy?-just get VValter Kline or Francis Moll to scream and you'll know Why the cats on the back fence hadn't'a chance to compare with them. If an observant one wondered why certain Seniors were punctual to their classes the Hrst and fifth periods, someone should inform him that these Seniors had prev- iously attended practice for Stop Thief. Although at times the outlook was discouraging, the play came off without a hitch and from general opinion was enjoyed immensely by everyone. VVho could help enjoy seeing two clever crooks get away with valuable wedding presents and a jeweled ear-trumpet? It should be 93 taken as a warning to all honest people to see that their safes are safely locked and not to hire a lady's maid heed- lessly. And any absent-minded fathers or kleptomaniacs should hire the services of a good detective to watch them. We also know where to look for our future police- men, and who recognized Handsome Mchukeu as a dignified, absent-minded old gentleman? Surely every- one admired the scenery and stage settings-who did it? Raymond llrobst and Tom XVilliams, the two faithful 'fstage-hands of the class. So now, if anyone didn't see the play, l hope to have aroused their curiosity sufhciently to realize what talent there is in l'. H. S. and to support next year's entertaine ments. The Vaudeville and Minstrel Show Ada Paul After such a glorious foot ball season, the team con- sidered giving each man a sweater, as well as his letter. They decided to give a vaudeville show and minstrels, under the efiicient direction of Miss Anne Boyer and Mr. Booth, to raise the necesary funds. ln order to show what a success it was, I shall endeavor to tell about it. The first act, the Symphonic Lymphonic Orchestra, with Tiny , May as its leader, and ,loe Clay as its mezzo- soprano soloist, brought clown the house. The musical art here displayed was a rare treat. The Musical Review, consisting of a number of choruses, who sang and danced in costume to popular melodies, comprised the second act. Patches, f'Shoulder Shakers, Happy Days and the Old-Fashioned Garden were among the attractive songs. Next was the skit, A Happy Day, featuring Miss Mcliinstry as leading lady, but who, on account of sick- ness, was unable to take part. The vacancy was ably supplied by Miss Kendricks. Those in the cast were: Misses Clay, Rishel, Dolan, NVhims, Yon der Heiden and Mack. Then came the address by the Honorable M. T. Porke Harrell, which made a decided hit. The entertainment closed with the Minstrel. , 94 . It had been several years since P. H. S. had given a Minstrel Show and this one met with a rousing success. Messrs. Fleming and Schuster, as the Ace of Spadesg Messrs. Roseberry, Keenan and Morgans, as Unfortunate joe, Echo and Slippery Elm, respectively, sang catchy songs and told clever jokes. Mr. XN'alter james sang a beautiful soprano solog it is believed that some day he'll rival Galli-Curci. The Auditorium was packed each night and I hope few missed it, for they certainly missed a good, lively show. Several weeks afterwards the Foot llall veterans came to school proudly wearing their Crimson and White sweaters.

T ll , - ll , 4 l MILITARY DEPARTMENT To provide army oliicers for any future emergency that may arise, Congress, by Act of hlune 3, 1916, authorized educational institutions throughout the United States to establish units of the Reserve Officers' Training Corps, upon compliance with certain requirements. This act divided the R. O. T. C. into two divisions--the Senior and Junior. Units of the Senior Division were authorized at colleges and universities, while units of the Junior Divis- ion are established, as a general rule, only at preparatory and high schools. This school now has a well established unit of the Iunior Division. This unit is under the direct supervision of a commissioned oliicer of the Army, detailed to the school by the VVar Department. The continuance, and future success of this unit depends wholly upon the de- sires of the student body. As the School Board, Super- intendent of Schools, Principal and Faculty of the High School have vouched their approval of the department. The government is desirous that the course in Military Science and Tactics become a permanent course in the school curriculum. Approximately 315,000,013 worth of arms and equip- ment is furnished the school by the War Department. This equipment is used for the benefit of the cadets in various phases of military instruction. Equipment and uniforms to the value of 380.00 is issued each cadet who is a member of the R. O. T. C. This equipment includes 98 rifle, bayonet, cartridge belt, and shelter half: a complete uniform consisting of cap, coat, breeches, leggins, shoes, two shirts, waist belt, chevrons and ornaments. In addi- tion each cadet is allowed ZOO rounds of ammunition for target practice. . Course in Military Training, Junior Division R. O. T. C.

Benefits of the R. O. T. C. This question has often been asked: To whom, and how is the R. O. T. C. beneficial. In answering this I wil say that the school, government and student are all benefited, as explained in the following paragraphs: The school will secure a bond of connection with the national government which will bring it into touch with national problems, give it an opportunity for national service, develope close relations with other schools as part of a national enterprise. An increase in its educa- tional efficiency because of the conscious effort at char- acter building which the military training makes, the live subject matter which will enrich its regular course, addi- tional optional subjects that will enrich its curriculum. 99 The government will secure trained officer personnel for emergency service, training facilities organized to develope officers promptly in emergency, opportunity to develope training methods and teachers in the Army, inti- mate knowledge of the educational resources of the country, broadening contact with civilian enterprise in time of peace. The direct advantages of military training in the R. O. T. C. to any individual may be summed up as follows: fab Discipline as a leader which is of value in any life work. Qbj Training in team play and in methods of securing organized action by a group. fcj Assurance of service as an officer in a period of national emergency. fdj Physical training that will make him fit to pursue his civil career as well as to perform his miltary duties. feb Preparation for national service, thereby fulfilling his patriotic duty. 7 Qfj Upportunity to attend summer camp without ex- pense. These camps are both beneficial and helpful in character building. Qgj Opportunity to qualify for a lieutenantfs com- mission in the Officers, Reserve Corps without interfer- ing with training for civil life. fhj Training that develops neatness, mental alertness, respect for authority, leadership, self-reliance, confidence, courtesy and a keen sense of duty. R. O. T. C. General In addition to the free issue of the uniform to all students of the R. O. T. C., students of the Advance Course are paid by the Government as ration money the sum of 40 cents per day. This amount is paid only for two successive years and includes the summer months between the first and second year of the Advance Course. From this source the sum or about 3252.00 will be re- ceived by each student completing the work of the ad- vance course. The Government in granting certain pecuniary allow- ances to the students of the R. O. T. C. does not do so through motives of charity, but from the view point of national defense. XYhen war was suddenly declared in April, 1917. there were less than 9,000 regular army officers. The selective service law having been passed, the Government was confronted with the necessity of 100 providing officers for about 4,000,000 men, approximately 200,000 officers. If we were to be victorious the question of time in educating civilians to become officers was an important element. The Officers' Training Camps was the scheme decided upon as the one most likely to produce the quickest results. Only three months' time was available in which to educate and train the first officers. The XYar Depart- ment realized that this time was entirely inadequate, but nothing better could be devised. In order that our national existence may not be im- periled again by lack of officers, the Wlar Department is now devoting every attention to the development of the R. O. T. C. as established at various institutions through- out the country. The United States must have a large number of Reserve Officers, and we will produce our quota at this school. It may be asked why we need these officers. In the first place we need them because no army can exist without officers. In the second place we need them because in warfare every individual soldier is entitled to the best leadership that is possible to obtain. I Every mother's son in America is liable to be called to the colors in a time of national peril. If, through lack of proper leadership, he loses his life then someone is re- sponsible. Every soldier should be given a sporting chance for his life, at least, when on the field of battle. I-Ience the necessity for officers educated and trained in every phase of modern warfare. On December 18, 1919, there were enrolled in the R. O. T. C. at various institutions throughout the United States 116,365 Cadets. On duty as instructors at that date were 392 army officers and 900 enlisted men of the Army. It is therefore apparent that the Vtfar Department is doing all things possible to provide future officers and to pre- vent a recurrence of the situation as it existed in April, 1917. Among those who do not understand we hear a great deal about military training destroying intitiative and making the soldier a mere machine. This was to a large extent true of the German army and was one of the causes of its defeat. In our system of military training the initiative of individuals is encouraged in every pos- sible way. In the dense forest of the Argonne the initiative of the individual American soldier was one of 101 the primary causes of our advance. Sergeant Alvin York could never have gotten away from, much less captured, the large number of Germans that surrounded him and his little party had he not exercised intitiative to the fullest extent. This is only one of the hundreds of similar instances in vihich individual American soldiers when. out of touch with his officers used his brain. An important element that we are trying to inculcate in the moral and mental make-up of our students here is the quality of GRIT. Not that they would prove cowardly in battle necessarily, but some in the beginning of their military life have exhibited a tendency to throw up the sponge upon the administration of a rebuke or criticism. The average American youth has an exaggerated opinion of his independence. He forgets that the conventions and customs of society limits' the independence of each indi- vidual. Ry the discipline and requirements of military life 'he is made to realize that, in many cases his own opin- ion of personal liberty must be subordinated to law and to authority. Military life teaches the individual to weigh and judge between unlimited personal liberty and the necessary restrictions imposed by the conventions of society or by the applications of law and authority in its many and various phases. On entering college all young men are in the formative stage of life, physically, morally and mentally. The majority are not ready for the rough edges of life. At this school we are trying constantly with all the energy at our command to instill into the very souls of our students that indomitable spirit that enables one to get out of self, to keep one-fs eyes Hxed upon the goal rather than upon the roughness of the path, to realize that one unable to raise above the hard knocks of discipline cannot hope to face with equanimity the tremendous responsi- bility of the officer under modern conditions of warfare. Neither can we hope to face the severe trials of civil life in this great age of strenuous endeavor and keen competi- tion. In the beginning, strict obedience to the requirements of military discipline may hurt the feelings' of a student. but eventually it will make him a MAN. Capt. Ray H.

The weather did not dampen the boys' enthusiasm, however, and the officers in the Battalion looked forward to a successful year. The School of the Soldier was taught first. Captain Larkins was well pleased with the progress made by the men the first few weeks. Next they were instructed in the School of the Squad, which they found difficult to learn, but, after much practice and thought, succeeded in mastering. lt was then decided by the Commandant to make three companies instead of two, which made matters very con- fusing. i IS. Gillars, Captain of Company li, retained command of his company, while il. R, Stoudt received the commis- sion of Captain of Company C. Each Captain worked hard with the hope of making his company the best in the llattalion. The work was very promising when Major lid. Kerns left for Annapolis. His leaving left a vacancy which had to he lilledi Captain Carroll, of Company A, received the commission of Major, while Don. Christ, who had just entered the Battalion, received command of Company A. On November 11, rifles and rifle equipment arrived for Company A and Captain Larkins began teaching the lylanual of Arms. November 15, orders came from the Ular Department stating that no less than fifty men should be in a com- pany. The llattalion was divided into two companies. Captain Christ received command of Company A and Captain Stoudt, Company ll, while Captain Gillars was transferred to the Officers, Stall' as assistant instructor, with former rank. About this time the Battalion was called together in the Auditorium, owing to inclement weather, and the men were issued texit-hooks, including the 1. ll. Rf, Cinfantry drill regnlationsj, HN. C. O's Manualv Cnon- cominissioned oflicers' manual, and the Military Stu- dent's Text-book. The men wondered what they were going to do with all the books, and soon discovered that 105 1 7 L5 si P . c: :Z I CG w z 5 2 c: LJ F i ROSTER COMPANY B Captain Moll, Francis K Lieutenants Martin, G, A.

Company B Jeannette Morrison, Sponsor Tn September, with the opening of school, the outlook for the Reserve Ofhcers' Training Corps Unit seemed very dark. The officer detailed to this post was ordered elsewhere with no one ordered to take his place. For several weeks things seemed black, when one day news came that a new commandant had been appointed. A few days later Captain Ray H. Larkins appeared on the scene and the Military Department of the Pottsville High School took on new life. In the previous year's work the students had been organized into a battalion of two companies. This plan was kept up at the beginning of this year, two companies, A and B, being fornred. john B. Gillars, of the Senior Class, who received his training at Camp Lee, Ya., in the summer of 1919, took command of Company IKM G. Russell Kepner became first lieutenant and O. l.ee Hummel and Francis K. Moll second lieutenants. After approximately a month of work, the comman- dant, in order to reduce the number of men in a company and therefore make possible better individual instruction, divided the battalion into three companies+A, B and C. This necessitated some change of oflicers. l.t. Kepner was at this time transferred to the Battalion Staff, and his place filled by one of the second lieutenants. Franklin Meyers, of the Junior Class, who previously had been the First Sergeant of B Company, was made Second Lieu- tenant in the same company. A VVith the work progressing so well it was hoped that no further changes would have to be made. But, events have a fashion of shaping themselves contrary to our wishes, so, in early December an order came from Wfash- ington that no company in the Reserve Onicers' Training Corps would consist of less than fifty men. As Com- panies B and C were each below this standard, another change was made necessary. The first two squads of B Company were sent to A. The remainder of li Company consolidated with ,C and formed one company, which was known as BH, Com- pany C going out of existance. Captain Gillars, of B 110 Company, was transferred to the Battalion Staff, Captain Stoudt, of the now non-existant C Company, taking his place. l.t. Meyers, B Company, was transferred to A. l.t. Martin, of C Company, was taken over upon the roster of Company B. During the winter months, courses in Signalling, Interior Guard Duty, Theoretical Field Service Regula- tions, 'Small Arms Firing Manual, Military Map Reading and 'Theoretical lixtended Order Drill were given by the commandant, assisted by the company officers. Enough Close Order Drill was given to keep up the snap and morale of the students. The morale of the students, which was very low during the winter, was raised considerably when news came that the long-delayed uniforms were on the Way. After E1 short time the companies began to be equipped with uni- forms, and the spirits of the students continued to rise. Now, practically all the unit is uniformed and presents a line appearance. ' During the month of March the company lost its com- mander, Josefh Stoudt, whose place was filled by the Company First Lieutenant, Francis K. Moll. ln the months of April and May, intensive Close Order Drill, 'Extended Order Drill, the Manual of Arms, to- gether with some practical field work, practice marches, etc., were taken up under the direction of the Comman- dant, together with the Company Commander The purpose of tne Reserve Officers' Training Corps is that of training the student to think for himself. A man who thinks for himself, whether it be in peace or in war, is sure to getahead. The German military svstem made the man a mere machine, which broke down under our system of individualistic training when brought face to face with it at Chateau Thierry, Relleau VVood and in the Argonne. The basic work thoroughly instills into the Cadet the essentials of discipline and courtesy, both military and civil, and makes a sure foundation for future work and, eventually, if the student carries out 'the Government pro- gram, a commission in the United States Army. Pottsville High School may well be proud of her unit. In a town noted and proud for its military record, this Battalion, yes, this R Company of the Reserve OHiccrs Training Corps will see to it that the traditions of the past are not in vain. 111 TEACH EHHQLQU ZZLE g Qf'A'A'ZWm v.
