S., which a few years ago, seemed but a childish dream. Although four long years have passed since we entered its portals, there is no one who does not remember that eventful day. It was a beautiful day and the sun seemed to be trying to give us courage, which we surely needed. We gathered together from the Grammar Schools and entered the awe- inspiring auditorium, in which we little suspected our happiest days would be spent. Before our schedules were fixed, with the aid of our Sister Class we had formed new friendships, renewed old ones and were truly a united Class, the Freshman Class of 1923. Miss Short soon found out how united we were, when she found out that exactly 30 girls had decided on the same schedule. Vile began our Freshman year by seeing how much trouble we could cause. The first thing we did was to have trouble with our sponsors. How- ever. that was settled satisfactorily and none of us will ever forget Miss Smith, now teaching in japan. The upper classnien soon began to think they had received a group of Bolshevists in their midst, for iwe had enough class meetings to make plans for the VVorld XVar. Nothing startling was the result as we didn't even have one social, being told by a Senior that they were not permitted. To add to our greenness, the first day we attended classes, Miss Unger's whole Freshman Latin Class filed out for a fire drill at the sound of the Class bell. led by Miss Hopkins and Miss Umbenhen. Then, tired of being subdued the whole class of boys turned out for R. O. T. C., athletics and other activities. and the girls won the Basketball Champion- ship. When Christmas time came. we proved ourselves worthy of being part of P. H. S. by' having the finest programme and the prettiest tree fso we thoughtj ! Vacation came and went and we were sophisticated Sophomores. That year we had enough socials and parties to last us for our four years in High School. That year R. O. T. C. was started for the girls and we found our class had some crack shots chief among them being Alta Taylor and Sara Louise Hoeffer. In the beginning of the year the girls won the Hockey Championship and Captain Glenwright had reason to be proud for it was a hard fight to defeat our Sister Class, the Class of '2l. They- still remained our friends, however, and neither the boys or girls'-will forget those parties given by them at the Out Door Club. Then with spring came the botany ,16 hikes with Miss Boyer. The first hike Miss Boyer offered a pound of candy to the one who co'lected the most specimens. Immediately Virginia Kerns got her aide-de-camp and began the search. However. she had to divide the honors and all those who saw Big Larry Roseberry crawling on his hands and knees, trailed by three of the smallest girls in the class in search of trailing arbutus, agreed that he deserved half the box, By the end of our Sophomore year we had proved ourselves rather good students but all around nuisarces. XYe spent an all too short vacation and returned to our Alma Mater, dignitied juniors. We have changed the saying from dignified Seniors to juniors, for who could accuse us of being dignified now? Our junior year is just a memory of wonderful times and?-hard work! Hard work was certainly needed for when we returned as juniors we found ourselves with ten full fledged junior Boys, George Lynn and Julius Diamond rivalling to become first of the ten. Two athletic meets were held this year, school and county. At both of these the boys did their part and began to give bright hopes of some Ere athletes for our Senior Year. Prof. Murray said that the most interesting feature of the school meet was the girls' relay. We are not sure whether he meant the wonderful showing Betty Seitzinger made as a runner or the spectacle of Hannah Chaseman's downfall. Then the girls won the cup for the rifle match and Carolyn Skelly declared that her score was nothing short of a miracle or we would rot have won. Then the boys showed thein ability for jerry Rettig became center of the foot- ball team, and Captain for our Senior Year, and Buddy Whitehouse won his medal for track. Then speaking of wonderful times, we will never for- get Mr. Booth and the Uke Club and Peg Miller and her little Jew QKarl Flailj at the Hallowe'en Party at Rettig's. Minna Hutchinson vowed and declared she'd never go to another class party in a truck just because Phil Ost sat next to her with his pockets full of chipped onions.. .Poor Phil was unaware of it for Russel Dormer and Peg acted quietly. And then we were Seniors. We came back to a year of interruptions in the faculty and the classs. Our friend and advisor, Miss Short was ill and had not returnedg Miss McCamant had to leave for the same reason and the class friend, Mac Haas missed a large part of the term. Then we missed our old class mates Ed, Sara Louise, .lean and others but welcomed as new friends, our teachers, Mrs. Long and Miss Moyer and the bunches from St. Clair, New Philadelphia and Branchdale. Eddie Dormer being the most noted of them all in making trouble. Grig , Chy , Beaumonte, Betty Short, Mary Birmingham, and others too numerous to mention, found welcome places in our midst. 17 The whole year was just one preparation for the Play, the trip to Washington and Graduation. VVe had tried to have good times and at the same time have a large honor roll. We hope we have succeeded. Isabel Zerbe said if Latin were eliminated all would be well, while Kitty Shugars cheerfully suggested the removal of Geometry. VVe have smashed', many precedents this year by editing a Year Book instead of a magazine and producing the Musical Comedy Kathleen instead of a play. We know that after seeing Roseberry as Hans , Eliz- abeth Horinann as Arabella , Carda as Kathleen and Brownie as the Hero they were not sorry of the change. This year has been a happy one for us due in a large measure to our sponsor, Miss Critz, our principal, Mr. Diehl and our president, Miss DeLong and Mr. Flanagan. We have ended our year with flying colors, the girls winning both Hockey and Basket Ball Championships and the boys forming the nucleus of Track, Foot Ball and Base Ball. We know we are a terrible class but we hope the faculty is not too glad we are leaving. And now we want to thank all of our teachers and school mates for making the last four years the happiest years of our lives. We are sorry to leave and yet glad we are able to go, but our Alma Mater will live in our hearts forever, for Firm are the friendships, strong are the ties, Binding us fast to thee.

Every day she may be seen nodding her bright head in the Garden, However, what kind of a Hower she is we do not know, for she is as modest as a violet, cheery as a poppy, sweet as a rose-bud and in- dustrious as the apple blossom. VVhose heart has she charmed? She will not tell but surely some day a gentle hand will pluck her from the Garden', and bear her far away to blossom anew. Lately she has been powdering her nose frequently. Does she think that flowers must have a sweet perfume? . m A:- Doll Com. Play Chorus fl, 33 Girls' R. O. T. C. VERNA BAST American Girl, kidnapped by Natives in Honolulu Islands. Verna Bast, American Girl, was sto- len from the American Hotel early Monday morning- llorrors, can this be our classmate? Verna the quiet, Verna the silent. how did she get to Honolulu? VVe knew she always admired the curly locks of the Hawaiian natives but we never knew that the Hawaiian natives would admire her curls. Well, there is one consolation, if the natives bother her too much, she can play sweet music to charm their savage breasts or recite Milton by the reams. However, we hope she will soon get away from her abductors and return to the United States, attended by the best of fortune. Senior Play Cirl's R. O. T. C.

She had been valedictorian of her class there and had set out to conquer new fields. French, Chemistry. Caesar, Shorthand, Typewriting and English were the dragons that stood in her way. She bravely gird on her armor and started to light. She is still Fighting. but she is winning the day. Indeed she likes French and l.atin so much that we are afraid she is going to become either a Roman or a Frenchman, if she does not become a sailor. She is from New jersey and is so fond of the sea that sometimes we fear she would like to drown Caesar, her best friend. NVhat- ever she will be in later years, she is sure to be successful, for she has the three requisites of success, good na- ture, determination and intelligence.

Don't be alarmed, for although she is a dia- mond, she didn't come from South Africa. She can more than scratch the surface of a problem in geometry, and algebra is child's play to her. She is wonderfully kind and generous and never becomes angry. To keep her tem- per as sweet as possible she eats a lot of candy which surely does the trick. But llertha's accomplishments do not stop here for she plays the violin and dances like a sylph. The boys fight to dance with her, for she doesn't step on their toes. She is helping to make the Senior Play successful by perform- ing in the choruses with right good will. She sings in the Glee Club with a sweet soprano voice. If she ever enters comic opera she is sure to be successful and Madame Diamond. beautiful prima donna will perform for 330.000 a night. Senior Play Glee Club fl. 3, 4D Doll Com. Girls' R. O. T. C.

Besides showing what St. Clair gives in the way of knowledge, she showed us what such a small town can turn out in the way of short story writers. Betty however does not agree with this. Ask her.

After three years of overwhelming study and recreation we now face the last lap of that joyful experience School l.ife with a brighter and more hopeful out-lrok upon the things which will be expected of us in the com- mencement of I.ife's VVork. NVe often hezr the words repeated Ml the world is a stage and the people actors. but so far many of our class, especially boys, have been will- ing to leave the acting to too few. Many do not attend the class meetings and therefore take no active part in the work of our class. Of course, next year when we are seniors each of us will attend all class meetings and make our class the best graduating class that has ever left Pottsville High School. VVe also hope to further the good work scholastically, athletically and socially in which we are gaining an ever increasing honor. Scholastica'ly we stand very high and we can feel sure of having at least fifteen honor pupils in our class of '24. Athletically, well we all know the position we hold having many mem- bers on the Foot Ball, Base Ball. Hockey. Basket Ball and Track team who share honors in all these sports and who helped to make our school success- ful athletically this year. VVe cannot imagine that any of us will ever forget the party at Dives which was the most successful held by our class. Remember the B. B. Relay Race between Miss'Moyer and Mr. Konrad, who. together with Miss Filbert, Miss Rhinehart. Mr. Diehl and Mr. Knowles attended and added to the good time enjoyed by all. The Junior Class bids farewell to the graduating class with whom all of us have formed lasting friendships during three years association with them. YVe bid them good-bye and wish them a great amount of success due them in their chosen profession. OUR OPINIONS OF EACH OTHER Agnes Holahan . ..... .................

GI FRESHMAN CLASS Freshman Class History. Early in September of the ancient year, nineteen hundred and twenty- two, our party, which consisted of one hundred and twenty pilgrims on their way to the great Empire of Education reached a small Dominion called High School. As many were anxious after the long journey which we had so far suc- cessfully traveled, our leader knocked softly at the gates of the Imperial city. We were soon admitted by the gate-keeper and, upon explaining to him that we should like to enter the city and stay until we were rested, we were soon ushered into the presence of the austere ruler, King Diehl. From him, we learned that this Dominion was divided into Provinces each of which chose a president and three assistants. VVe were then told that. if we should stay in this Dominion for any length of time, we should have to elect a leader and form our Province. Accordingly, a council was held and Viola Hartzel was elected as our president. To aid in her duties, Kathryn Jonathan, VVilliam Neiswender and VVilliam ljast were also elected. After forming our own Province. we enthusiastically entered into the spirit of the Dominion in which we now lived. As many of the customs and modes of living were new to us quite a period of time elapsed before we became accustomed to them. One was a large tournament which was held annually. , Preceding this tournament, each Province usually held a ball or festival. Following this custom, the leader of our realm proclaimed that a masquerade festival would be held at Dives Castle-On-TheHill on the eve- ning of November seventeenth, in which all citizens were to take part. In preparation for this event, several committees were appointed, one to take charge of the decorations, another to take charge of the entertainment, and last but not least, one to take charge of the refreshments. On the eve of the festival, the Castle was ablaze with glory. Beauti- ful decorations adorned the walls: and. everywhere, mingled the Knights and Ladies in brilliant costumes to partake in the gaiety. Many games were played. but most of the evening was spent in the enjoyable sport of dancing. The air was rife with talk of the approaching contest. According to the laws of the Province. the festival had to end rather early. The revelers left the scene of gaiety, telling each other how well they had learned to like the life in this Dominion. The first few days of the tournament were given over to the sport of football. Being new to the customs of the tournament. we did not take much part in this sport, but stood by gazing, astonished, at the queer antics of the contestants. . All this time. the Ladies of the Province had not been idle, but had been initiated into the sport of Hockey under the direction of Miss Critz. The Hockey was rather a disappointment as not many games were played. The weather grew cold. therefore, not much time was given to Hockey. The last game was played between our girls and those of the Commer- U5 FRESHMEN CLASS HISTORY-Continued cial faction. The game was very interesting and ended in a tie, 5-5. This tie left the Championship of the Dominion suspended in mid-air. The Hockey fans at the tournament were thus left looking feverishly forward to warmer weather and the playing of the game to a finish. VVith the coming of cold weather, thoughts turned toward indoor sports. In response to this desire the sports were conveyed to a large shel- tered arena which had been built for this purpose. As soon as thoughts were turned to indoor activities. Basketball was agreed upon as the best means of entertainment. Here we met much suc- cess and were greatly encouraged after our former disappointment in Hockey. Not only in our provincial sports had fortune smiled upon us, but she had given us the honor of having three members of our Province Dimmerling, Donohue. and VVllS0ll on the team of the Dominion. known as the Varsity team. The Freshman Province turned out one of the best provincial teams that had been known in High School. The team of our Province consisted of O'Reilly, Greenhalgh, Lynaugh, Nuss, Dengler. Hill, Knapp and Esterly. To other Dominions this team was known as Stonehurst. The team first met and defeated that of the Commercial. Somewhat enboldened by this success, they challenged the Sophomore teani, and de-- feated them by four points. The Sophomores were met again, and, this time. were defeated more easily. Self-satisfied by these victories. they challenged the juniors: a rather audacious challenge, for it represented one of the hardest games played in the tournament. Nevertheless. the Freshmen won, only by hard lighting all through the game. The next. and one of the last games, was with the Seniors. This game represented the championship of the Dominion. At almost the last minute. the Seniors cancelled the gameg and, thus, forfeited it to the Freshmen. The forfeit made the Freshmen the champions of the Dominion. Under this new title. Saint Clair. a neighboring Dominion, was played. In this game the Freshmen met their first defeat. Undaunted by the defeat. they accepted a challenge from the Fresh- man team of Shenandoah. another neighboring Dominion. This game the Freshmen won by one point. and won. too. the championship of Schuylkill County. After the tournament, life in our Freshmen Province settled back to a quiet and peaceful plane, much as it had been before the tournament. As a permanent record of each one of our distinguished citizens. the chosen scribe. and her assistant, adds a personal account of each one's vices or virtues. One of the seven wonders of the world is the sight of either Dorothy Achenbach or Alice Dando without a Library book. Ella liachert, Amelia Cooch, and Ruth Stevenson are the Three Mus- keteers of the class. Mildred Baron is the only lady of the nobility of which the class boasts-according to her last name. William Bast tried to take a short-cut in Science. but found out he had 'to take it the l.ong', way cut. G6 FRESHMEN CLASS HISTORY-Continued Hilares Bechtel evidently inherits the good judgment which she dis- plays in her choice of clothes. Hilares always makes a very good appear- ance. Don't you know that Carol Beecher's pet phrase is Dontchaknow ? Daniel CDannyj Bergen is lanky and long-drawn out but not tiresome. Earl Berger is the owner of a very famous name. In French. it means shepherdg in German it means mountain. Quite an appropriate name for one who tends his father's sheep on Lawton's Hill. Ralph Blew and Paul Brown are the only colored members of the class. Day by day, in every way. Mildred Underwood and .Betty Boone get Hchummier and chumn1ier. Blanche Bowle and Ruth Kepner are close rivals of Mary Coleman and Frances Carey for the title, The lnseparablesf' Margaret Bright is so wrapped up in her romance with a certain Robert-as to address her father thus one day at the dinner table: Bob, will you have some potatoes F Margaret was glad that Dad was a bit absent- minded. .lames Canfield is the freshest member of the Freshman class, as he did not arrive until after the mid-winter tests, at which time he received his hon- orable discharge from the hospital. Charles CChuckl Carlin is the lad who, in cultivating a taste for poetry, licked all the color off of his Lady of the Lake. Frank Cohen has hung up on the telephone to hang out a radio. Catherine Conway and Alice Reddington are our daily out-of-town visitors. Benjamine Cooper is a prominent Boy Scout. He displays his creden- tials from the north-west pocket of his coat in the shape of a massive fob about the size of a Roman shield. William fThe Baronl Crawford will undoubtedly get somewhere as his father has a strong pull. just because of Ella Davenport's last name. it does not follow that Ella likes to lounge Her only failing is her blush. Samuel Deibler says, if he gets through Latin all right this year, he is going to take up Egyptian. Tut! Tut! Edward Dieter has some ideas about Algebra which would do Einstein credit. He recently claimed that July 4th plus a sky rocket equals Pottsville Hospital. Arthur Derr has been unanimously voted the brainiest chap in the class. And still the wonder grew. How one small head could carry all he knew. It is rumored that George Dimmerling had an oder from the New York Celtics, but the Principal blocked the deal. Clement Donohue of basketball fame claims the best record he ever made on fouls was when he threw three sixes at a raffle for a turkey last fall. Catherine Dreshman is small, but it is not size that counts. Alvin Dress works eight Algebra problems in live minutes. He, there- fore, may be judged a mathematical genius, but it is to be remembered that whether his problems are difficult or not has not been mentionedg nor do all his answers agree with those of the text. Eva Eberle is the only grown-up in the class. at least she is the only one who wears her hair up. Margaret Ernst is more familiarly known as the Civics Shark. 67 FRESHMEN CLASS HISTORY-Continued Louis QPee-Weej Esterly proves the Darwinian theory. He is a very minute creature. How he manages to climb up on the high boards of a gi- gantic Mack truck, especially with two or three books in his hands, is a feat for his feet. He can be seen any school morning on a truck going westward on Market Street. Hyland Fernsler is a f'Highland laddie since he discarded the kilts for long trousers. Louise is not a Fisher for compliments, but wishes only those words of praise which she deserves, and they are many. VVillard Flail looks up to his brother who is a six-footer. Amie Foster's greatest ambition is to meet a real Sheik Ernest Glaser is learning to play a fiddle and supposes in time he will get a job with Ole King Cole -driving papals black diamond 'livery. Kathryn Glaser is a quiet, hard-working young lady whose chief occu- pation is bringing home her father's cows every night. Robert Glassmire has a very happy disposition and often bursts into sudden laughter. Someday. when he bubbles over, the Science class will study his explosive habits. Helen Gluck would make an admirable lawyer-she developes so many cases. Francis Gordon is a typical Freshman whose chief aim in life is to at- tract the attention of his classmates by his silly capers. ' Earl Greenhalgh goes in for athletics, but the only way he will ever break any records is to fall on them. Adam Grossman has no special characteristics or features except his feet which defeat all others in running. Jeannetta's Hart beats for everyone, especially for Thomas-but that would be telling tales. The sight of Grace Hartzel without any candy would be such a shock to us that we would not be able to vouch for the truth of the statement after- ward. Viola Hartzel was our amiable and hard-working class president dur- ing the first Semester. Marion Hause has won quite a reputation for herself by studying twenty hours out of every twenty four. Marion Heckman believes in having her lessons prepared no matter how long it takes her to prepare them. Walter Hill's ambition is to be Erst to fill the chair of sports in Potts- ville High School. He believes that. in the course of several years, Latin, Science, Algebra. and similar unimportant studies will have to be abandoned. John Hoffman's attempts to be a comedian nearly always end in trage- dy for John. Raymond lmschweiler does not claim any connection with the popular Confectionery store, but it is well known that Raymond has a sweet tooth. Kathryn Jonathan is very fond of telling Jokes about every one else. but if we should tell some we know about her-! l ll 'The Freshman class would be in a broken state of affairs if Alys John- son and Irma VVeaver should be separated. Mary Jones has the distinction of being the youngest member of the class. Thomas Knowles received an attractive offer of chief ticket seller for Ringling Brothers Circus. but the A. A. went the show people one better. Tommy will continue to be found as usual in the big tent at 12th street broadcasting paste-boards for basketball and baseball games. GQ FRESHMEN CLASS HISTORY-Continued Reuben Kaplan always has his hand on his pocketbook when on the street. The reason was not known at first, but now it is said that he hails from New York. Abram Kamenetzky is as noisy as a boiler factory-two minutes before the whistle blows for quitting time. He will undoubtedly be appointed chief cheer leader next year. Gott Mit Uns is Nellie Keiser's motto-according to her last name. Elizabeth Kerns and Estelle Richards are the far-reaching and ambi- tious Freshmen. Their chief ambition is to hitch themselves to a star-pref- erably a Sophomore one. Harold Kinzey has learned from a last year's graduate that the first four year's of High School are the worst. Donald fSkipperj Knapp is never caught napping except in the class- room. Marie Canfield conducts herself in such a demure CU manner that all known about her is that the male members of the Junior class hold great attractions for her. Sara Kock and Florence Montgomery are alike, yet different. Their types of beauty are exactly opposite, yet both girls are more studious than any other girls in the class. Grace Lechleitner is the baby-vamp of the class. just because Maurice Lefkowitz's father owns a clothing store, it does not follow that Maurice is a dummy. Homer Lewis is named after his famous ancestor who wrote the Odyssey, which he thinks is a history of the Odd Fellows. Anna Lightcap had almost convinced one of the teachers that her beautiful. creamy complexion was natural, until, one day, he saw her flourish a powder-puff ----- !!! VVallace Lime drops into school very often, but he is no slackerg the Port Carbon express is behind time. John Lynaugh declares he will not continue the English course until England adjusts the home rule muddle on his ancestral island. Catherine Lynn tried to put the Easter Bunny out of business by sell- ing all his eggs. Paul Matthews, alias Matches, is popular with the cigarette hounds, of which the class has many-hounds not cigarettes. lames McCabe is as thrifty as old Benjamin Franklin. He has Figured out. on a conservative estimate. that he has saved one hundred twenty-seven dollars in taxi hire by riding to school on trucks. VVilliam McCord says that if a miss is as good as a mile. there are some in the class who are miles ahead of the bunch, and still going strong. Messrs. Smith are generally the most numerous in a directory, but Williaiii Messersmith is the only one represented in the class of '26, His number is A-l OK. Catherine Moore is determined that she shall never join the forces of hard-working married women. The only thing Catherine ever fell for was a pair of steps. A recent test. under the strictest conditions. shows that John Mootz is the best Latin student on S. Centre St.. between Howard Avenue and Union street. It is not generally known that Martin fFatj Moyer is traveling under an assumed name. as his real name is O'Bese. Naturally he smokes Fat-ima cigarettes. G9 FRESHMEN CLASS HISTORY-Continued George Muench sells candy by the bar to High School students. He is always eating it himself, hence the title, Munching Muenchf, Allen Nuss will be a veterinarian, but does not think he would care to be a valedictorian. V Thomas CBuckj O'Reilly was a star in the Basketball firmament. He trained on raw meat. and played such a strenuous game that it was feared that they might have to take the cage away from him. Robert Otterbein says he will not take up French until the Ruhr situa- tion is cleared up. Rufus Patton's sister was valedictorian of her class in 1920, but he is not keeping up the family's reputation by following in her foot-steps. If Walter Perrot would change the e in his name to a , he would indeed be a wise bird. He should be a polly-tician. The 'fPrice of feeding Isabel in order to keep her at her present size is a weighty problem to her parents. Probably the oldest member of the class is Charles Ramsey. Betsy Ross made the first American Hag, and Ramsey wrote an essay about it. win- ning a prize of live dollars. Ruth Redcay was a very great sports enthusiast. She made the basketball team and succeeded in doing the same in Hockey. Francis Rees. who attends High School in the class of '26, when not otherwise engaged at the Post Office, persists that he is going to be a man of letters no matter what the English teacher says. Ruth Refowich's father is one of the J. I. M. Brothers-naturally Ruth is fond of Jimmies. Leland Reid is built on the plan of Abe Lincoln. He has leanings to- ward Science, and says Mr. Long can't talk over his head. Frank Reilly is never seen unless encased in a white sweater. One would as soon expect to see a turtle without its shell as to see Reilly without his sweater. Why does Mary Reilly like Latin so much? Because the kernel of the Filbert is so sweet. Joseph Rettig's free taxi service has been so well patronized that he is thinking seriously of getting a 'bus. His many friends will keep him busy. Russel Stevenson keeps on the right hand side of Rettig. When Skipper Rettig takes out his boat, Stevenson is always first-mate to make the car-go. This Texas species. Dallas Root. is at the root of many a practical joke. A large number of his wittv ideas and actions are stolen from Bobby Glassmire to whom he is strongly attached. One of the diversions of the Freshman Class is Abraham Rosenzweig's horse laugh. VVhat does he eat for breakfast? Hay? When you see Hannah Rudnick, you are reminded of the old saying. Short but sweet. Hannah is also a musical genius. It is rumored that Stokowski offered to share his fame with her, but Hannah refused saying she had higher ambitions. Schollenberger is the official spelling of Alfred's name as authorized by Alfred himself. Promoters of spelling-bees might be interested in this alphabetical procession. john Shore acknowledges that he never read a book on etiquette. but he knows it is good form to decline a Latin noun-when invited by the teacher to do so. Though VVilliam Shugars does not pose as a lady's man. all the girls think him sweet. T0 FRESHMEN CLASS HISTORY-Continued Grace Snyder's cheerfulness is as deep as her dimples. Edward Speacht, who is interested in literature, has informed the English teacher that, during the summer vacation, he intends to translate The Lady of the Lake into Pennsylvania Dutch. Mary Stayman would make an A-l French teacher-for those who have studied the language before. Mildred Sterner is the noisiest C??j girl in the class. Charles Sunday is a mild, learned chap whose crime in life was chewing gum on a public occasion. Some of the class think they have given Joseph Tomaino's name a witty twist by dubbing him Tomatoes, This is all Wrong. Joe is not a dub although he was a sub on the basketball team. He has never been canned by any of the teachers. Ruth Umpleby's motto is Slow but sure.'l Paul VVallesia made a resolution at the beginning of the term to re- frain from all boisterous and riotous conduct in class. His sound-proof method of reciting is remarkable. Elizabeth Williams is another sport fan. She went in for all sports and made good in most of them. Kimber VVilson of '26 made the Varsity cage team. He bettered the record of ex-President Vkfilson, whose fourteen points made him famous. Chester VVoocl has solved many a knotty problem. and is sure to get to the top if it is in the timber. Those who believe in signs should consult Leo Zacko. He paints them in the highest style of art at the lowest prices. Bidding goodby to some of our party, who have become so attached to the Province that they can not leave it, we are marching sadly out of the gates of the Province that has treated us so kindly, and are proceeding slow- ly to the next one where we shall stop under the care and sponsorship of the Sophomore Province.

Indiana, Pa., said: The manner in which the Counties en- tered into the movement is very commendable and the records made by those who participated in the various events speaks well, not only for the faithful efforts of the competitors, but also for the quality of teaching done by those under whom the competitors received instructionsf' Alberta Schlitzer- Schlitzei- A light heart liveth long. Schlitzer certainly has one of the lightest hearts of the class, even rivalling AL Sch1itzer also acted as office girl sometimes, but the excuses did not seem to be any more plentiful because of the fact. Alberta is the star typist of the class, as she has won many prizes in speed work and made an admirable record at Indiana State Nor- mal School last year. Marie Sclllitzer- Marie Wht'rt- more is meant than meets the ear. Marie is one of the quiet girls of the class. She cloesn't say much, but what she does say counts. NVhon she is with the other two members of thc inseparable Three. she certainly has her share of the tloor. Good lurk, Marie! NVe hope you have success in selling.: pink pills in your father's store. Stella 'l'ut-ci- Doc-, Stella Small of stature, large of heart, Once a trim-ntl. she never parts. Ext-use us, Stella, but we just had to put that Doc in to remind you of the society of four, in the corner. NVQ know that Stella will make a, mark in the world be- cause she has been an ext-ellent pupil from the time she entered school. XVQ wish you luck in ho1tlin,f.r down your post hehintl the counter in Palo Alto. Catherine Stagllano-''Catlleriuen A friend is tlocl's gift. Catherine is always willing to help her fellow students in distress, especially when one of the corner four wishes to borrow her mirror. Catherine is also a goorl student and a firm friend of Stella's. VVe shou'd not be surprised to hear of them as partners in the future. 73 Emma Ehlers- Emma For the best of me is diligence. Emma has kept herself in a shell this year and has not t 'th manv of her classmates. Her closes made friends W1 lf friends are the Vaiughnsu and she may be seen with them often.

XVO hope you ' ' nrler the Mayor. will hold donn .1 position u 74 Katherine Suess- Suessie For the ln-st of me is diligence. Vutherine always knows her lessons, with the excep- tion of times she doe:-:n't, like the rest of us. Katherine is one of the Inseparuble Three-perhaps the ring-lender for :ill we know. Suessie has fallen for the Autograph HCRAZFT' und it is not unusual to hear her asking.: someone to write in her album. Elizabeth Quin- Quinnie, Nep VVhat l've been taught, l've forgotten, What I know, I've guessed. VVe think that is just the expression to suit you, Quin- nie and we are sure you will agree with us on it. Ne-p likes il life of high lights. She is ax member of Moyers bunch and leads a happy-go-lucky existenve, and we vnn't blame her for Quinnie is all we could wish. Anthony Di.-ello- Tony, Dir-ello I have much within myself that pleases mc. 3 lJicellu is one of our out of town scholars, coming if from the Wilds of Palo Alto. He is one of the studious set gr of the c-lass, getting good grades in ull his subjects. He l espeviailly likes Bookkeeping, tm' is it because Alice is in the c'Iz1ss'???l. We are sure Tony will succeed in the business world :ind we hope to see him keeping: the books of some 1:11-ge vom-ern in future years. Violet VVilliallls- VVilet As happy as the day is long. Here is :mother of the c'orner four, and without ai doubt one of the most popular. VVilet has :L wicked laugh, and people at Centre Street can usually tell when she has passed the' portals of P. H. S. but we like her for that. The c-lass extends its best wishes for success in handing out tulmeen at the Pottsville Candy Co. 75 Katherine Hoke- I-l0key A friend is God's gift. Here is another of our quiet girls. Katherine believes in thinking more and talking less, and we agree with her although it is impossible for us to practice it. But H0key has no trouble in keeping her motto. She is at perfect example for us girls, as she doesn't even look at the opposite sex. Just keep it up, I-Iokey, and you will soon see your likeness in church windows. Minnie Neiman-- Min She is young, industrious and of a noble, modest nature. Min is a. very regular church member, who, with Wilet sits in the back pew ftalkingl. Min won laurels as a Hockey player in Junior year and got many a swelled ankle, too. VVhen XVilet and Min get together you can expect to hear them giggling tat nothingj. Anthony Albanese- Al Alb4lll6SE'P Give every fiying minute something to keep in store This is what Al thinks and so he comes hailing from Sanderson Street for the purpose of developing the contents of his head. He is jolly and fun loving, but nevertheless very quiet and studious. The result of his study is shown in bookkeeping class, where he is one of the most bril- liznnt students. XVe wish you success, Albnneser. Joseph Blakely- Joe Secret und self-contained and as solitary as an oyster. Joe is one of the quietest members of the class. Hu wends his wily to sehool from the Wild and woody jungles of Meehztnicsville. Joe is one of the dinner bunch. He always uses his time to great advantage and we feel conti- dent he will make at success in the business world. TG XValter Schneck- Shrimp, Chim Hflis n1nlher'S llI'lflQ', his fall'l6I S joy, He is indeed our darling boy. NVe have here the dwarf of the class. Never mind, Shrimp -good goods come in small packages. Chim is very popular with the girls, especially the Junior Commer- cials. Shrimp's ambition is to follow up the commercial work, but we all know that his greatest one is to grow taller so that the girls won't have to lift him up to- Robert Elison- Bobby XVhen the roll is called up yonder, I'1l be there. Here we present the class's greatest church member. This fellow never stole, lied, swore. drank, etc., or partool: of anything that was not heavenly. He is a perfevt Gabriel. Bobby studies at night and his whole study period. Ho and Kleiny are great ehums. Where one is the other is sure to be found. XVe wish Hobby much sur-eess after his graduation. Joseph Smith Smithy, Joe Kenneth Falls- Ken, 'Cowboy 1 have much within me that pleases mv. Cowboy may have much at home, but we doubt if he has in his head. Ken has a hard time keeping the girls away from him so he carries a body guard. This proves very useful to him, especially in Bookkeeping Class when he calls on his assistant to think of something for him to write in tho girls' Autograph Albums. They call him handsome. but is he? Cowboy is a great athlete, participating in all athletic' sports. In future years we see Ken kit-king: the oval for Yale. flllaybe .T--alel Mueh study is a wearine-ss to the th-sh. Yes. this is a Smith but not a blaek one by any means, because Smithy thinks a bla:-ksmith's oerupation is too much like work. He's a lady's man. One would hardly think it, to look at him, but he is just the same. Joe makes some very brilliant reeitations C21 espoc-ially in English. He is also very clever. at least he thinks he is. Smithy. we wish you mueh sur-ress as a eomedian or as a lover. 77 Joseph McGarry- Mic, Joe For him the world holds but one-Marion. Mic, a representative of that famous city!Palo Alto, is kept busy making up excuses, seldom coming to school on time because of his love for his bed. Coming from out of town, he is a member of the dinner bunch. Joe is the giant or Sky-scraper of the class. He likes the women, but Marion excels them all. However, this does not seem to interfere with his studies very much, as he manages to keep more than his ahead above water. Mic will some day be managing Fernsler's drug store. Yvilfn ed N arllter- Bee A light heart liveth long. Bee Certainly is an exc-eption to his sex, for he is si great giggler. He beats them all-even the girls. Some- how he manages to keep a straight face and work studious ly when he is in Bookkeeping class. Bee is a well-known shark in this study. He will. no doubt, wind up as the chief bookkeeper of some large concern. Alive Cox Coxief' Alice Esther KVeaver- Esther l-'or silence and chaste reserve is woman's genuine praise. Esther is very quiet. She bothers no one and expects the same treatment in return. If you adhere to this prin- ciple, you will sail through life very smoothly. rr It talked ye gods! how it talked! Alice is one of the popular girls of the class. She and Mr. Dicello have hard times trying to surpass each other in Bookkeeping-4HoW about it, Alice'?J. Alice also likes candys-especially when she sees her neighbors indulg- ing in Law Class. WVe hope to see her in the future help- ing her sister at the HY . 78 Marion Super- Marion, Super You'd be surprised. You'll really he surprised! Marion is so stately and dignified but once started, Oh my I She can be seen arrang- ing: her hair or powdering her nose whenever a mirror is in view. Soup is soon going to leave for Reading-That's too bad. 1sn't it, Joe? She makes brilliant recitations in English. and we are sure she will use her talents out of school as well as she did in. Mabel Knowles- May Sr'hool work first, last and always. So it is with May , she certainly does her work first, last, and ALVVAYS, especially her Shorthand Work. ltlahel and Minnie are very close friends as they travel to and from school together. She has many friends due to her happy disposition and smiling' face. It is beyond us to disc-over if she favors any one of the opposite sex, for she seldom utters a, word about them. May is full of school spirit. She expevts to become a St6I'l0gl'2lDllE'l' in one of the large stores of town. so we wish her the best of success. Olive Morris- Olive Dorothy Heller- Dot Always thu- sann- good friend, jolly and good naturedf' This is true of Dot for she has won many friends through her unfailing.: good humor and her cheery smile. She and Hazel, her nrm friend, can often be seen roaming: the halls together. Although Dot is an A No. l sf-holar in Shorthand, the only delight she soc-ms to take in Look- keeping Class is to argue with Mr. Knowles. lYe all hope this will end alright Hang sorrow, care will kill the Lat, Therefore, lt-t's be merry. And so thinks Olive, She considers this :Ln ideal motto and she certainly lives up to it. Olive is one of the halmpy-go-lucliy members of our Class. No doubt, that is the reason why she is so popular with her classmates. She is a friend to all and a loyal supporter of the school. We do not know what she will do but wo know that the future holds much in store for her. 79 CLASS JUNIOR COMMERCIAL Junior Commercial Histor . September 6, 1922 will always be remembered in the annals of the Junior Commercials. Wlieii we entered High School that day we felt as if we were transported into a foreign land. Every room we entered seemed like a new country and every new subject seemed like a new language but most of all Shorthand-that resembled the inscription on the walls of King Tut's tomb. I suppose Miss Hoffmaster realizes this for some of us have not yet succeeded in deciphering these hieroglyphics. Although everything was new to us and we were handicapped some- what because of the crowded conditions, we, nevertheless, made great progress-at least, some of us. Helen Stoudt wending her way supposedly to Penmanship Class was surprised to find she had advanced so rapidly within a few days. Looking up she saw unfamiliar faces around her and to her amazement was informed by a Senior that she was in Second Year Typewriting Class. As the days passed into weeks and weeks into months we became acquainted with out fellow students and succeeded in finding our way through the building. The first event of importance was the class meeting called by our sponsor Miss Hoffmaster. It was a splendid opportunity for the Junior Commercials to assemble as a class and they certainly took advantage of it. There was a perfect becllam but they finally succeeded in electing their officers. At our second meeting, class rings and pins were selected and two months later members of our class were displaying them. Miss Critz, fearing the girls would develop mentally and not physically, called a meeting of those interested in Hockey. The junior Commercials were well represented and after much deliberation, the following team was chosen: Captain M. Hay, E. Matthews, A. Oberle, K. VVilliams, M. Super, O. Morris, A. Neiman, M. Neiman, G. Higgins and H. VVright. The first practices were amusing but the girls soon learned to wield their sticks very dexterously and it was not wise to quarrel with them to or from practice. In November the Hockey Team played the first game of the series with the Freshmen. This was a very exciting game and resulted in a score of 5-5. Owing to weather conditions, the final game had to be postponed until Spring. On Hallowe'en our class had the most delightful party of the season. It was held at Dives' Bungalow. The committee in charge worked very hard in decorating the bungalow and preparing the refreshments. They were repaid for their efforts for the party was a decided success. At the beginning, the boys were extremely shy. They sat around in the corners until some of the girls brought them for the march and persuaded them to play games. As the best talkers of the class were present, they succeeded in drawing the boys from their shells. Dorothy certainly worked wonders upon Joseph Frew. VVe marched around the room to display our costumes for the benefit of the judges. The chaperones gave a prize to the girl and boy with the most unique costume. This was very difficult to decide, for most of the girls looked very bewitching. After much consideration, it was given to Anna Oberle, who represented a Pierrot. The prize for the boys went to 81 JUNIOR COMMERCIAL HISTORY-Continued Earl Thornburg. Mr. Thornbug was very formal that evening. Perhaps there was a reason-I suppose he thought the safest place for his high silk hat was on his head. The timidityi of the boys soon vanished when the Basketball season opened. E. Freiler, D. Schoeneman, T. Owens, C. Inquartano, W. Lord, E. Donkin, S. Messina and W. Charlton played on the Junior Commercial team. Although they did not win many games, nevertheless, they played well and we hope we may cheer for some of them on the Varsity next year. Our school work progressed very nicely until one fine morning Mr. Diehl announced the approach of the dreaded-mid-year examination. Com- mercial Arithmetic was now put into use for every one, except the fortunate ones who had worked faithfully during the term and attained an average of ninety per cent., could be seen rapidly calculating how many points were needed to pass the various subjects. Some thought they had over-taxed their mental capacity during this crisis and, consequently, attributing their laziness to the obnoxious disease most commonly known as Spring Fever, indulged in a respite. We were soon aroused from our lethargy by the announcement of a Schuylkill County Contest to be held in the Pottsville High School on April 21st. This in- cluded Penmanship, Shorthand, Typewriting and Rapid Calculation. Every one worked zealously and tried to do his level best so that he might be able to represent his school in this work. Malcolm Sterner distinguished himself in the First Year Shorthand by attaining a grade of ninety-eight per cent. VVe are proud that he is a member of our class. Mr. Jacoby regretted that Thelma Rauch was not entered for Rapid Calculation, for, she, to the amusement of her classmates, displayed so much brilliancy in his Arithmetic Class. The series of Hockey games postponed in the fall were played during the week of April. To our regret, we had lost six of our best players and, therefore, had to secure practically a new team. Since the new memlbers had little practice, the Freshman gained an easy victory. Nong came the final thrill of the year. To the pleasure of the girls but to the disgust of the boys, we were lined up on 12th Street and asked to smile sweetly for the photographer. Margaret Hay and Grace Mohrbach followed instructions and tried to look their best. No more comments on the picture are necessary, for you have probably seen the results on the preceding page. Here's hoping that every one on the picture may be present as a Senior next September to welcome the incoming juniors and make High School a land less foreign than it was to us. mr S- cc 82 Typewriting Awards It has always been the ambition of every student interested in com' mercial work to get an Underwood or Remington honor. During this term many have been successful, for before April 1923, more than 50 Awards had been given. Remington Card Cases for writing at a net speed of 45 words per 1'Ill1l11lfC were awarded to the following pupils: . Francis Wenrich, Anthony Dicello and Alice Cox. Nine pupils have won Underwood Bronze Medals, for writing 40 net words per minute. The remainder of the fifty awards were Underwood Certificates which were given to pupils who wrote an average of 30 or more words per minute. County Commercial Contest A contest, open to students from all parts of the County, was held in the Pottsville High School on Saturday, April 21, in which nine high schools competed. The subjects taken up were First-Year Typewriting, Second-Year Typewriting, Free-for-all Typewriting, First-Year Shorthand, Second-Year Shorthand, Rapid Calculation and Penmanship.

I began to ask my mother where did smoke go to, and why was it that she burned candles every Friday night. To these questions I never got satisfactory answers, because my mother was of the old school-she believed that children should be seen and not heard. I never dared ask my father because he. in my opinion was some awful per- sonage to be worshipped from afar, but never to be approached. My older brother and sisters cuddled me. because I was the baby, but as for answering my questions, their questions were never answered and they didn't intend to answer mine. And so my questions remained unanswered. and returned to puzzle me when I least wanted them to. The questions grew and later I was able to cast some aside but the smoke mystery and the secret of the lighting of candles on Friday evening remained. I could not understand what happened that there should be such an upset state of affairs all day Friday. My mother and my three sisters, Rachel, Leah and Cecilia. started early Friday morning and until about two or three o'clock thev worked like Trojans. They scrubbed and scoured and polished, they baked three or four different kinds of cake and bread: they made dainty dishes of carrots and other vegetables: and finally at about three o'clock they stopped to dress. The house shone as a result of their efforts. The table was covered with a snowy-white cloth. Two loaves of bread covered with an embroidered napkin graced the table where my father sat, and three candle-sticks. that glistened in the rays of the setting sun. stood in the centre. The Hoors were well sanded with clean fresh sand and the aroma of freshly cooked food pene- trated the house. Presentlv my father entered dressed in his best and after speaking a few words to my mother. called the boys and departed to worship at the syna- gogue. After they went my mother and sisters dressed in their best and after dressing me in ia stiffly starched dress, they sat down to await my father's return. It was slow waiting but he nnally did return and after grace was said we sat down to a meal ht for a king. There were nine of us and a happy noisy meal it was. XVe got through some time and after benediction we sang re- ligious songs. Everyone joined in. even little me with my baby voice. It sounded better than professional singing because we sang with all the pent 8-1 IN ANOTHER LAND -Continued up longing of two thousand years, the longing caused by long exile and per- secution. ' Sleepy, I was carried to bed, and the next morning I woke upon a calm world, the world of the Sabbath. We all went to the synagogue and had a hearty dinner after we returned. My parents then took a nap, my sisters went for a walk and took me along, my brothers indulged in some forbidden pursuit. These proceedings were unintelligible to me. My mother taking a nap in the middle of the afternoon, my sisters out walking and my brothers not in school studying. It was not until later that I learned, And the Lord rested on the seventh day, but at the time it was mysterious, unexplainable. But those were happy days even if I was ignorant. I was too young to know that changes might come and when they did come the mystery was more mysterious than ever. Plsllslkvkikfkfkfk Time flies and in what seemed a few months, as I look back over it now, I was eleven years old. I now knew that the stream that our town was situated on was the Nemen, that we lived in Russia, or more specifically, in Poland, and more than that, I knew that I was different from my neighbors in religion, and in tradition, I knew that I was a Jew. I went to school until I was ten and then I studied at home. with my father as tutor. This was one of the changes that had come into my life. I had lost my awe of my father altho I never lost my fear and respect for him. He was my idol always and forever. It was at this time that our town began to take on some life. The revolutionary movement was in full sway and the news spread that radicals were being put in jail. Animated discussion followed. Times are getting too good for some people, soliloquized Eli Moseck to a group of men gathered there in front of our store. They,re bothering with the government now. It was too quiet. They have started something, remarked Mordecai, the baker, sagely. Now it's the government, then it will be the Jews, as is always the case. prophesied another. Let me add here that the prophecy proved only too true, ten years later. This was the current discussion of the day and it proved disquieting. too. It grew more animated and finally came the big crash. the abduction of the Czar of Russia. Private affairs absorbed my interest and the public was forgotten. Rachel was engaged to be married. The wedding was to take place in three months, in june. She already had four dozen doilies, all hand embroidered, but she only had seven tablecloths. This was terrible. I don't see how I can start housekeeping with only seven table-cov- ers. she complained to my mother. Well, you might be able to make two or three more before the wed- ding, consoled my mother. Two or three, she cried, what is two or threeg ten or fifteen, you mean. VVhy I must keep house! My mother smiled and said nothing. I think it's an awful calamityf' was all she said. with a twinkle in her Pye. especially when you must use three cloths at one time. 85 IN ANOTHER LAND -Continued My sister said nothing. seeing that she was laughed at. At last the wedding came. It was a clear, bright day. The house was a scene of bustle and preparation. My father was stern, and authorita- tive, and my mother. red-eyed and weeping. My brother enjoyed the novel- ty of the situation and as for me it was all I could do to keep from taking my new dress out and fingering it. At last the eventful hour came. The violins struck up a slow march, my sister, red-eyed and weeping, looking like a picture in her white dress, leaned on the arm of my father, and the wedding procession wended their way slowly to the synagogue. 'There in front of the synagogue a canopy was raised and in the presence of the whole town Cin small towns, if there was a wedding, it was a municipal affairj and with the moon and stars as addi- tional witnesses, the ceremony was performed. Now a lively march was played as my sister and her husband wendecl their way homeward. and my sister was not red-eyed and weeping but smiling and happy. Arrived at the house the music struck up a tune, and the maid- ens who had been practicing ever since the engagement was announced, took their positions for a cadrille. Many cadrilles followed and waltzes and the lancers and at a late hour supper was served. Such a slipper it was, it even excelled our Friday night meals. The next day everyone returned and the merrymaking continued. For a whole week it lasted and then my sister and her husband tired but happy settled down to housekeeping in a little house not far from ours. Needless to say I was their constant visitor and many a happy hour I spent there. I did not know then, that before I reached that stage of life, I would have en- dured more trouble than could be deemed possible. I was now seventeen. The troubles which were to be my lot had al- ready started. Business was bad and my father had emigrated to America with the hope of being able to take us over later. He was gone but about half a year when the war broke out. My two brothers were of age to go into the army and could be called any day. This haunted the house like a phantom. It is all very well to fight for your country but to lay down your life for a government that will connive at massacre and says they're nothing that drives you from one place to another like hunted deer and classes you with the worst of brutes, that is something different. At last the day came for them to go. My mother could not speak. she had cried so much. We girls tried to bear up as much as we could and we tried to console our brothers by repeating rumors that the war would end in a few weeks. It was all very well while they were in the house, but as soon as they started to leave we all broke down and cried like babies. When they left we retired into the house and cried for the whole day. Then we calmed down a little and went to bed. It was the blackest day I knew since I was born. The mobilization slowly went on. My sister's husband had gone to America with my father and she and her two children stayed with us. My uncle's son was called and this fact added to the family sorrow. We received no letters from my father and we could get no communication to him. The enemy was slowly advancing and our armies were being pushed farther and farther inwards. Prices were soaring and food and clothing was getting scarce. but worst of all we received no mail from the front to tell us that our loved ones were yet in the world. At last the crash came. The Germans occupied our town. It was not as bad as we expected. The Germans were under strict military discipflirre 86 IN ANOTHER LAND -Continued , and could not harm us much. They were cleaner than the Polish troops, and not so profane. The only hardship that they occasioned was that no one was allowed to leave town without their permission, but this occasioned no hard feelings because no one wanted to leave town, it was too dangerous. Things went along smoothly for a few months. Then came a letter from my brother Abe, that he was taken prisoner. He was wounded in his shoulder but was getting along nicely. He told us not to worry because he did not think that he would be in active service any more during the war. We thanked God for this and prayed for my other brother, Joseph. Then events began to follow each other in rapid succession. There was trouble at Petrograd. The revolutionists were at work. The czar tried to stall them off as long as possible. Then one clear morning came the news that the czar was no more. He had abdicated when he learned that the revo- lutionists not only wanted his crown, but also his life: he fled. There was trouble in the capital. Russia's troops were impoverished. She could do nothing to help the allied cause and slowly she dropped out of the war. Peace was not restored by this because all Russia was in a turmoil. but we thought that when the war on the continent would end we would enjoy a little peace. Meanwhile we lived. How, I don't know. VVe had no new clothing and very little food. Then the Poles and the Bolsheviks were constantly fighting and kept us in constant terror. My father had not written since 1914. VVe had heard nothing at all from my other brother and we feared that he was killed. The days were so dark that we thought we would not live thru them, but there is an old saying that you don't die when you want to, but when the time comes. Cut off as we were from the outer world. still we learned that the Americans had come to fight for the Allies. and that they were successful. All through the summer we hoped and prayed that the war would end and November the 11th, 1918, our prayers were answered. Hosilities ceased and we were eagerly waiting for news from the outer world. The news came all too soon as it seemed because the news was not good news. VVe learned that in Austria Hungary and in some parts of Poland all the hatred that had been stored up during the war was being let off in a new direction, namely the Jew. They were being massacred and driven from place to place. No mercy was shown them. They were not allowed to enter the universities and those that were already there were accorded the worst of treatment. It was unbelievable that in this civilized age after a war was waged for humanity people should be so barbarous as to indulge in race prejudice. Yet this was the case and the worst of it was that the tendency was spreading. Soon we also would be victims of theapassions and of the en- raged beasts. The suspense of waiting was ended one hne morning in February, by a company of men descending upon the town. They came upon the Jewish element like a thunderbolt. All Jewish houses were vacated and we betook ourselves to the woods: like frightened deer we ran. shivering with the cold and with fear. We knew we could not plead for mercy because they had none and we could not resist. because there were no able-bodied men in our group, all having gone to fight for the Allies and indirectly for the freedom of Poland. a freedom used, not that all men might have the right to live. but used to crush a weaker people for no earthly reason. We lay in the woods. huddled in little groups. VVe made a little fire 87 IN ANOTHER LAND -Continued but we dared not make it big for fear the enemies would discover our where- abouts. The ground was covered with snow and ice, and there were clouds in the sky that boded no good. Towards evening it began to drizzle and then to rain. A cold nasty rain that chilled the body to the very bone. VVe could not sleep on account of the rain, but still we were glad that it did rain, be- cause the Poles would not follow us. In fact we were sure that we were safe from pursuit for a few days because knowing the people as we did we knew that they would get drunk and be in a stupor for a few days. All through the long hours of the night we lay, shivering and praying for our deliverance. At last the morning came, cold and dismal. We set out upon our wanderings not stopping to eat the little food we snatched in our Hight but keeping it for when we would be more in need. We trudged on through the woods. not daring to show ourselves near a town. I was extremely weary, being both hungry and fatigued by carry- ing one of Rachel's children. My mother was hysterical as were my sisters, and my brother who was leading Rachel's other child by the hand could scarcely restrain a tear. How long we walked I did not know, but finally we stopped and after taking a bite or two of bread Qwe were afraid to eat much, as we did not know how long we would wanderj we laid down too weary to speak, and fell asleep. When I awoke the sun was shining brightly. The others had already risen, and after ascertaining our position by the aid of the sun we started in the direction of the German border. Day by day we continued our prayers eating little and walking much. How the little food we had held out, I do not know. Our shoes were worn threadbare, our clothing changed to rags because of exposure. The snow was melting and we waded in mud sometimes knee deep. Our supplies were getting lower. VVe now only had a thin slice of bread a day, and Finally this was exhausted, only two loaves of bread being left for the children. We were on the point of starvation when we reached our goal, the German border. From one side of a boundary line to the other is not a great distance, but to cross it might take a very long time to cross this distance. Starved and emaciated as we were, we lay in the woods waiting for a favorable chance to cross. VVe did not wait long, for a terrific thunderstorm arose. It was pitch blackg the impenetrable gloom being dispersed only by flashes of lightning which made it still more terrible. Slowly we made our way to the line. We feared to speak for fear the sentinels' attention would be attracted. VVe could now discern the fort in the distance and moving farther below it until it was invisible, we gathered what little strength we had and ran for liberty, freedom. life. We crossed the border safely and were making our way safely when everything went black before me. When next I came to it was still dark and pouring rain. The children cried piteously for bread, and the old men were gathered in a group chanting psalms. My mother was holding my head and was giving me some stale bread. the best she had. Little by little the lightning did not flash so often and the rain stopped. I dozed off to sleep and when I woke it was morning. The sun shone brightly as if laughing at the storm and we dragged ourselves to the town which was two miles distant. We managed to obtain something to eat by paying an exorbitant price for it. The others of our party went on, but we stayed at a little inn, where we managed to obtain lodging for a few days. VVe also bought some clothes and rented a little house. It was fully a month before we recovered from the -88 IN ANOTHER LAND -Continued effects of our wanderings. Then my sisters and brother found work in a fac- tory, my mother opened a store, and I took care of Rachel's children. VVe had been settled in Germany for about three months, and were fast acquiring German habits, when we received a letter from my father. It was so loving and so kind, that I wondered why I ever called him a stern man. Dear Dora. he wrote, it is so long since I have heard from you that I have often thought you were not in the land of the living. How has it gone with you during the dreadful war? Are Abe and Joe alive? Are they back from the army? Please tell me that they are and I shall consider my seven years of annuity nothing. I hope the time did not deal harshly with my three litt'e girls, and that Dan was a real man of the family. I heard about the dreadful pogrom in our section of the country, and I prayed day and night that no harm should come to you. I hope to have you soon in my country fI'm an Ameri- can citizen alreadyj where such things are unknown and where anyone, be he a Jew or Gentile, may live in perfect freedom. Harvey is doing Fine. He has a responsible position with a large firm and it is very likely that he will become a partner in the business. He already has bought tickets for Rachel and the children and is getting the necessary passports. I also will send for you soon. Until then, may God keep you well and happy and bring you safe to In . e AARON. :sf if 4: Pk ar ir ff :sf How much cheer this letter brought to us can not be told in words. If can hardly be imagined. VVe became new people full of life and happiness ready to cope with anything. The only bitter drop in our cup was the fact that Abe and Joe had not returned. One morning when we opened the store two men came in for tobacco. They were tanned so as to be almost black with hair that was graying at the temples. My mother handed them the tobacco. They took it and started to walk out without paying. My mother called them back. VVhat do you want, they said. VVe asked for tobacco and got it. so we are going home. But the money, said my mother. Mothers don't charge their sons for things from their own store, so you mustn't charge us. Abel joe! cried my mother and fainted. We finally revived her and when she came to, we listened to a tale of hardship and woe that would fill a book. Abe had been a prisoner since the beginning of the war, and Joe had been wounded twice. VVe laughed and cried over them. and for a week we would not let them out of our sight. 4: 4: -k in ak wk 4: 4- At last after what seemed years of waiting the passports came. We started to pack and prepare at once. Everything was jumbled in my mind. Packing, trains, visas, passports, were our lot for the next two months. My mind was ready to burst with the many things that I had to do. I was in despair, when like a Hash my brain cleared, we were to sail the next day. We sailed on the afternoon of the next day. It was dismal, cloudy and the pier was crowded with people. Some were waving farewell to their 89 IN ANOTHER LAND -Continued friends. Others were there merely to see a ship sail, and still others were there for mercenary reasons. The ship let off a loud blast. There was a Wav- ing of handkerchiefs and the ship pulled out of the harbor. We had now seen only sky and water for six days. It was not monoto- nous but still I longed for a bit of solid land. On the evening of the sixth -day we went to bed as usual. We were told to gather our belongings as we would reach land the next day. As soon as we awoke we were made ready and all at once, such a noise arose that it's a wonder we weren't deafened. But this noise was noth- -ing compared to the joys in our hearts. VVe had reached our goal, life, liberty, :self-respect. After an examination as to our physical condition, my father came and we went to our American home. 'We made ourselves at home and in a few months began to acquire American customs and manners. We breathed air not polluted by race prejudice, and when we went to the synagogue where we prayed for our brethren and sister in Poland, we also prayed for the Poles. We prayed that God might give them kind hearts and sensible minds.

S. has always had earnest and enthusiastic cheer-leaders, but never have boys worked harder in this line of work than Chas. Alter, Arthur Brown, and Robert Rich, the cheerleaders of 1923. Representatives of three classes, Senior, Junior, and Sophomore, they have displayed enthusiasm un1 bounded in their work. But not enthusiasm only has marked their course, but skilled leadership, displaying admirable teamwork in every way. , This year has been noteworthy for the fine programs presented almost weekly at the mass meetings held in the Auditorium Friday afternoon. Every pupil, from dignified Senior to expectant Freshman. literally howled with delight at the boys' antics until the very rafters resoundecl. The orchestra kindly was present at each meeting and deserves much credit for their work. The school cannot thank the boys enough for their hard work in Find- ing new cheers and painstakingly teaching them to the pupils. We hope that the well-deserved picture of the class of 1923 will ease their aching limbs, cure their hoarse voices and sore throats, and cool their perspiring brows. If it will, they may have it with full measure.

The team won seven games and lost three, scoring two hundred and seven points to their oppo- nents' fifty-four. The speed and team work of this team compared with that of some of the best teams that ever represented the Crimson and VVhite. The following is a record of the season: Tamaqua High Coaldale High. St. Clair High Freeland High Stevens Trade Sunbury High. Summit Hill .. Hazleton High. .. . . .. Lykens High . Pottstown High .... . . . QAt Sunbury, QAt Hazletonj fAt Pottstown COALDALE GAME The first game of the season was a defeat for P. H. S. 6-2. The P. H. S. team could not get started, as they had only one week of practice with practically a new team, but even under this handicap they outgained the well balanced Coaldale team. The lone touchdown scored against P. H. S. was a well executed for- ward pass. ST. CLAIR GAME St. Clair had a lighter team than P. H. S. and was outclassed from the start, but the team that represented P. H. S. was comprised of many substi- tutes. The score 42-O would have been considerably greater if the entire var- sity had been put in. FREELAND GAME The 20-0 victory over Freeland showed that the team was rounding into form. The game was played in a down pour of rain which placed the players under a severe handicap. STEVEN'S TRADE GAME The 18-6 victory over Steven's Trade was the greatest of the season. In this game P. H. S. defeated a team which is in the Prep. school class. 'This game was one of the best games ever played at Dolan's Park. The P. H. S. team was outweighed considerably but the representatives of the Crimson and White had a wonderful offensive which bewildered the visitors. This was the first meeting of these teams and some of the old grads expected a defeat from this powerful team but the P. H. S. squad turned it into a decisive victory. 98 SUNBURY GAME Through the failure of the P. H. S. team to stop a powerful forward pass attack they met defeat at the hands of Sunbury, 20-0. The score does not show the relative merits of the teams. The P. H. S. offensive worked well but the secondary defense failed to diagnose Sunburys' forward pass plays. SUMMIT HILL GAME The 40-12 victory over Summit Hill showed the superiority of P. H. S. over teams of its own class. The visitors were unable to gain by rushing the ball and they resorted to forward passes and kicking throughout the game. This is the first time P. H. S. has met Summit Hill. HAZLETON GAME The Hazleton game was the next great victory of the season. The Crimson and White team made consistent gains and completely outplayed Hazleton. s The Hazleton team was on a par with their previous teams, outweigh- ing the P. H. S. team considerably, but they could not check the powerful attacks of the Crimson and White representatives. The team work of the P. H. S. eleven was very noticeable in this game, which showed the new eleven had rounded into perfect form. LYKENS GAME The Lykens game was a c'ean cut victory for P. H. S. The only gains which Lykens made being on forward passes. A number of substitutes were used in this game after it was seen that Lykens was powerless against P. H. S. POTTSTOWN GAME VVhile the game at Pottstown was the first defeat received by P. H. S. from Pottstown for over a period of fourteen years, P. H. S. actually out- gained Pottstown in scrimmage but owing to a blocked kick Pottstown was able to score. It was hit or miss football all through the game with the Pottstown team on the lucky end. TAMAQUA GAME ' The 37-0 victory over Tamaqua was the largest score ever made by P. H. S. against that school. The Crimson and White gained consistently, and reduced Tamaqua's tactics to a kicking game. It was a notable victory for P. H. S. as the previous year the team was defeated at Tamaqua. This was the final game of the season and the Crimson and White team lived up to the old standard of closing the season in, a blaze of glory. 99 As We See Them Falls, right end-Kenneth Falls started the season as a substitute. but improved rapidly. Falls played conspicuously against Stevens Trade and Lykens. In the Stevens Trade game he turned what seemed to be a tie game into a vic- tory. This game proved Falls' true worth. Roseberry, left tackle-Lawrence Roseberry was a heavy and expe- rienced tackle. Roseberry weighs 210 pounds and is fast notwithstanding it, he making an exceptional tackle on the kick-off, downing a runner in his tracks in the Summit Hill game. When he was called on to run the ball, he always responded with a gain. On defense Roseberry was unexcelled by any school boy in the State. No one game is given to his credit, as he was a star in all. ' Grigalonis, left guard and half back-Stein Grigalonis was a fairly heavy, fast and rangy guard. When he reported to the team he was very green but responded to coaching rapidly. In the last half of the season Grigalonis played half-back when he accomplished an unusual feat. in the Lykens game. receiving the ball at the kick-off he dodged through the whole Lykens team for a touchdown. He also played conspicuously well against Hazleton. . Rettig, center and captain-Gerald Rettig was a fairly heavy and expe- rienced center. Rettig was deadly accurate with his passes, he was also pow- erful on the defensive, outplaying every center he met, and breaking thru and busting up many plays of the opponents. Rettig was probably the best center P. H. S. has ever had. Being a fighter to the last he was a very capable leader of the team. Nash, right guard-James Nash was a fairly heavy, fast and rangy guard. His offensive and defensive playing being stellar. Nash outplayed every guard he met barring none. His kicking was exceptionally good, especially in the Hazleton and Lykens games. His ability to break through and block kicks was very conspicuous in the Stevens Trade game. Nash will lead the 1923 team. Flail-Lester Flail, a rangy tackle who held his own against all oppo- nents. Flail did not go out for the team at the beginning of the season but 'nade good when he reported and can be classed as the regular tackle. Flail should be a big asset to the team next year. Whitehouse, left end-Clarence VVhitehouse was a light but fast end. His playing was steady at all times, being a sure tackler and a bear at cut- ting down the interference. When called on to skirt the end Whitehouse was a Hash. He played conspicuously well in the Pottstown game. Beaumont, quarter-back-Bruce Beaumont was a light, brainy quarter- back. He ran the team in fine style, and due to Beaumont's absence the necessary punch was missing in the Sunbury game. At open field running he excelled as his lack of weight handicapped him from hitting the line. Chylack, half-back-Leo Chylack was a fairly heavy back, but his speed and ability to team work made him a star. In hitting off-tackle he 100 was sure of a gain. It was Chylack's line plunging which enabled us to roll up such a high score on Summit Hill. Chylack was also a steady defensive player, his ability to break up forward passes being noticeable. VVilson, half-back--Kimber VVilson was a heavy, fast back. His line plunging against Freeland was very conspicuous as he averaged ten yards at a clip. Wilsoii was injured in the Hazleton game and was unable to play the remainder of the season. He will be a big help to the Crimson and White team next year. Miller, full-back-Otto Miller was a heavy back. He was a fairly good punter. Toward the end of the season he showed great improvement in running the ball. On several occasions Miller took Beaumont's place and ran the team in fine style. In the Hazleton and Lykens games he played an im- portant part. Miller, right end-Stanley Miller started the season as a substitute but got played into almost every game. When Whiteliouse was shifted to the back-held Miller was sent in at end. He played a steady game at all times and as a defensive end he did some splendid playing. Hawley, left guard-Nathan Hawley must also be classed as a regular as he held his own against his opponents when called on to do so. He played exceptionally well in the Tamaqua game. Hawley should develop into a valuable player next year. Fernsler--Howard Fernsler was an able manager, who kept close tabs on his team, being at every practice. Honorable Mention-All the players above named are letter men but there were others who helped make the team a success and deserve some mention. Pacento, Dolan, Neiswender and Brown will be big factors in next year's team. 'Jacoby-Coach Jacoby deserves most of the credit for the team's suc- cess. This being his first year as coach at P. H. S. he began the season with a green team which he turned into a winning combination. No person deserves more credit than Mr. Jacoby for the spirit and pep he instilled into this year's team. ll K fd i b 7 T ix r if 'f K, ill , S. . tj 0 wlffsfa ir an .

Basketball in 1923 G. R. LYNN ,.i...-l. Pottsville High School opened its 1923 basket-ball season under some- what of a handicap. Since all of the members of last year's team had left school it was necessary to organize an entirely new team. But candidates were not lacking and they made up in willingness to practice what they lacked in experience. Practice was held either at the Armory or Dimmer- ling's. Coach Jacoby kept them hard at it and when the timte for the first game arrived, they were prepared for it. Although the team did not prove phenomenal, which it would hardly do since there were no veterans on the team, it did show what practice can do to help win the game. Manager Hopkins worked hard to get the schedule filled and did his best to keep things going. Although he was checkedsomewhat by his ill- ness, he managed the season in fine style and he gave P. H. S. a successful season in basket-ball. In all, 29 games were played and of these, P. H. S. won 12. Four- teen Schuylkill-Carbon League games were played, Pottsville winning five and losing nine. A very creditable showing was made by the team when one takes into consideration that it was an entirely new team, only one of the players, Grigalonis, having played on a High School team before. Credit must be given to Coach Jacoby for the way in which he trained the team. The season was started with a game at Tamaqua. Pottsville lost by the score of 30-26 but it was taken as a moral victory because the new team gave such a good showing. The next night, December 16, Girardville was played at the Armory. P. H. S. handed their opponents a decisive defeat by the score of 34-10. Eleven players were used by Pottsville, thus giving everyone a fair chance to show what they could do. The game scheduled for january 9 with Mahanoy City at Pottsville, was played at Schuylkill Haven as the Armory could not be secured. Al- though on a. neutral floor and playing against last year's state champions, Pottsville put up a good light. P. H. S. led at the end of the first half by 20-14 and Mahanoy City only won by making a spurt in the last three min- utes of the game. Grigalonis was high scorer with five field goals. On January 19, Port Carbon was defeated at the Armory by the score of 27-16. The Armory was crowded as about 100 Port Carbon rooters came with the team. Hasler had five field goals. The next night Pottsville lost at Lehighton by 47-46. An extra five minute period had to be played to decide the victor. But for poor foul shoot- ing Pottsville would have won. Hasler had nine field goals. On January 27, Coaldale was played at the Armory in a rough game. Several of the players were injured. Coaldale had a fast team having six straight victories before playing Pottsville, which made the seventh. P. H. S. defeated Nesquehoning in an extra period game by 33-29 on January 31. Grigalonis was high scorer with five Field goals. Mauch Chunk was defeated at the Armory on February 14. The score was 49-10. Hasler had nine field goals. Dimmerling had three field goals and 14 fouls. Near the end of the season Pottsville won its first and only game away. It was at Port Carbon by the score of 27-15. 104 Record for the Season Opponents P. H. S.

The Team Grigalonis, the captain, played guard. He played an all-round good game. Grig was the only member of the team who had played on a high school team before. He scored high in all games in which he played. Hasler, forward, was another high scorer for P. H. S. He is a Sopho- more and will be here for next year's team. Dimmerling, centre, excelled in shooting fouls. He will be here for next year's team. Falls, forward, played a good game throughout the season. Flail, guard and forward, though small, usually managed to do his share in scoring. Krause, guard, another small member of the team played well. He will be back for next year's team. Wilson, guard, did well, blocking many plays. He will be back next ear. y Sanders, forward. made good whenever he played. Donahue, forward, was another one who made good. He will be back next year. 105 GIRLS' BASKET BALL TEAM Girl's Basket Ball Plenty of girls, plenty of pep, a coach, a ball,-but try to find a place to play! This was the eternal cry of the Basket Ball candidates from De- cember to May. Basket Ball started immediately after our return from the Christmas Holidays, and in spite of the great difficulty in securing the Gym., became very popular. Whenever the boys were not using it the girls practiced with enthusiasm, so that each team had a practice about once every two weeks. After these numerous practices the first game was played April 10. The Freshies beat the Soplfrs. with a score of 12-9. On.April 12, the Sophs. beat the Juniors with a score of 22-4. On the auspicious day of Friday 13, the Freshies and Seniors played. No casualties occurred, doubtless due to the presence of a ra-bbit's foot. The Seniors were again victorious. this time with a score of 19-3. April 14, the Sophs. and the Freshies played again. The score was 14-6-the l4 belonging to the Sophs. April 16. the Championship game was played between the Sophs. and the Seniors. Each team had won two games, and this deciding game proved by far the most interesting one of the series. The teams were well matched, but the game ended in a victory for the Seniors, with a close score of 14-10. The li-ne-up for the game was as follows: SENIORS SOPHS. Hutchinson .... .... R .

LI. 8 !-1' ., , I 9? ll Gjzmandn ICYFLI. HJYHL P. H. S. Relay Team 1923 P. H. S. Relay Team of 1923 was the fastest in the history of the school. With McKeeby, Martz, and Whitehouse of last year's team back, a strong team was assured. Beaumont, a candidate this season, proved a find, replacing Weller, who had left school, and made a strong anchor man for a well rounded team that did not have a weak spot in it. The team started indoor training after New Year's Day and kept in practice from then until the U. P. Relay races. The first hint of a fast team was given in February when McKeeby clipped off two seconds from the in- door quarter mile track record, with the other runners finishing at his heels. With outdoor practice, the men started lowering their last year's time by seconds, Rettig this year's substitute turning in a quarter that was ex- celled only once by any of last season's team. A week before the University of Pennsylvania Relay races the team turned in a mile in 3.43 on the Agricul- ture Park track, only two seconds behind the record for their class established by the famous 1920 team of Lansdale on Franklin Field. The coach predicted that the team would turn in a mile in 3.40 on the fast track at Franklin Field, lowering the record held by Lansdale. Friday, April 28th, the team was taken to Philadelphia and was given a light work out on the track. Easton and Latrobe, last minute entries in the class were given first and third positions from the pole, Pottsville being handicapped with the eighth position. equivalent to two seconds in time. McKeeby was the lead off man for P. H. S. and had worked in from eighth position to the pole on the back stretch. As he turned into the home stretch he sprinted and finished third, close behind the leaders. Martz running number two swung into his long half mile stride and cut loose with a magnificent sprint from the 330 yard mark pulling down the man ahead and sending Whitehouse off in second place. Whitehouse loped along easily, permitting the Latrobe runner to set the pace. From the time Martz passed the baton to Whitehouse the race was between Latrobe and Pottsville. the other teams being outdistanced. Whitehouse un- corked a fast sprint as he entered the home stretch passing the Latrobe run- ner and giving Beaumont a small lead. Beaumont set a fast clip, the Latrobe runner hanging on till the back stretch was reached where he challenged Beaumont. The latter allowed him to take one stride lead and pace him around the dead man's curve and as they entered the home stretch Beaumont pulled up on even terms and the two runners came up the home stretch neck and neck in the most spectacular High School finish of the day, the two breasting the tape together in what appeared to be a dead heat. The judges finally decided in favor of Latrobe as the winners. The time 3.39 3X5 estab- lishes a new track record for the class. and iustified the coach's prediction that the team would turn in a mile in 3.40. The team was congratulated on all sides for their wonderful showingg and P. H. S. can feel proud of its 1923 relay team. 110 BASBQKZQZALL PHP!

'W ,525 HOCKEY 113 HOCKEY TEAM GIRLS' Hockey The 1922-23 Hockey season opened in the middle of September, with the usual enthusiasm on the part of the girls, and the usual ambiguity ou the part of the weather-man. ' But despite the heat and frequent rains, the girls worked hard, sometimes practicing at Dolan's, sometimes at that indescrib- able place politely called the Playgrounds. Meetings of the various teams were held and the following captains elected: Senior ........................ Catharine Potter Junior ...... ........ lN Tarion Simonds Sophomore . . . .... Elizabeth Roseberry Freshman . .. .......... Betty Boone Commercial ...................... Margaret Hay Additional sport was furnished by the VVhatnot team. organized by Miss Eva Garrett and Jeanette Boone, and composed of P. H. S. Alumni and girls who had played at school. The first game of a proposed series was played on November 9, between the VVhatnots and Senior girls, a hard fought battle resulting in a score of 1-0. and a victory for the Seniors-to the infinite amazement of all concerned. But our joy was short-lived, for just one week later the Wlhatnots emerged victorious from the second game, the Seniors losing with the same maddening score of l-O. The same week the Interclass Championship series opened with the Senior-Junior game, in which the Sen- iors were victorious. The second game, between the Freshmen and Com- mercials resulted in a tie, score 5-5, and before another game could be ar- ranged the weather-man interfered so decidedly that playing was impossible, and we reluctantly postponed the games until spring. In April Hockey sticks regained their popularity, and on the 19th the belated Freshman-Commercial game was played, resulting in a score of 7-0 in favor of the Freshmen. On the 23d an exciting contest between the Sophomores and Freshmen proved the latter excellent players, for in spite of the fine playing of their more experienced opponents, the Freshmen won with a score of 3-2. The final game of the series. between the Seniors and Freshmen was played the 25th, the Seniors carrying off the championship with flying colors. The line up for the game was as follows: FRESHMEN SENIORS B. Boone ......... ...C. F.. .. ..... M. Hopkins E. Richards . . . .... R. F. .... .. .M. Hutchinson H. Bechtel . .. .... L. F. ..... ....

S., and the wonderful spirit and sportsmanship of their opponents made it a game worth remembering. The girls are very grateful to Miss Critz, our coach, for all she has done to make Hockey successful, and also to Jeanette Boone, who gave much of her time in coaching practices and refereeing the games. A. M. T., '23, 115 Field Day The third annual field meet of the high school took place on Tuesday afternoon at the Penn Land Co. park, where Industrial baseball pastime was put on last season, beyond 12th St., and despite the weather which was any- thing but ideal for this sort of pastime. the athletes, both boys and girls, showed up well and the crowd that was present got entertainment aplenty out of this program. The threatening rain kept away not only many of the regular adult spectators of these annual events, but it also kept down the crowd of student spectators and had the effect of eliminating from the pro- gram many who had intended to participate. Prof. Murray was in charge of the affair. it being the third year that he has put across such a program for the high school. He had everything ready so that the program was started shortly after 1:30 P. M. It was drizzling slightly when Prof. Murray announced the start of the program, a series of preliminary heats in the 100 yard dash events. but when the first race was about to start, the rain had ceased. It was quite damp on the grounds and many of the participants did not hasten into their running attire for this rea- son. A big feature of this yearis events was the increase in the number of girl's events. The girls surely showed up well in every event they undertook and they had just as much action in the number of events they participated in as the boys did. They brought forth much applause by their activity and the outside spectators said it was one of the best exhibitions they had ever wit- nessed. The boys, too. did their part toward putting it across and they all got credit for doing the bit assigned to them well. As usual there was a division in the boys athletics. a heavyweight and lightweight class being -established. 116 d HOINSIS-..X5lIEl'IH.LVH,, V'I X '31 ei The Senior Play The Romantic Musical Comedy, Kathleen, presented by the class of 1923, on May 3. 4 and 5, under the management of the J. li. Rogers Co., was undoubtedly a howling success. Anyone who could witness Sheriff's ice- cream pants, Arabella's evening gown, Teck's valued hat tied fast to the table with a red baby ribbon, or Hans Schwindler's dress suit when he ap- peared at the reception,-and remain unmoved certainly possessed a most ex- traordinary sense of humor! The plot of the play revolved around the love of Kathleen and Jimmy Stanton. Michael Flynn, wealthiest citizen of Flynnville, Mass., plans the future of his niece and ward, Kathleen O'Day, according to his own hard- hearted and monetary standard of life. l-le chooses one Ned Rollingston to marry his niece, disregarding the rumored love of Kathleen and Jimmy, a clerk in the village general store. Cupid. circumstances, and tricks in human character play strongly in the events that follow in the lives of Kathleen, Jimmy, and Ned, before Michael finally bestows his blessings. It was ro- mantic enough to suit the most exacting: the music spoke for itselfg and if more stress should have been placed on the comedy part, it was due not to any fault in the production, but to the natural and astounding ability of the comedians. The title role was cleverly acted by Carda Elliott, while Arthur Brown, as Jimmy Stanton was a decided success. This martyred couple worked well together, their singing and dancing particularly being greatly commended. Elizabeth Hormann, as Arabella VVilkins, village postmistress and gossip, was superb! At the reception, arrayed in a gorgeous trailing creation. with her hair beautifully curled, she was particularly enticing. Lawrence Roseberry as Hans Schwindler, was an ideal Dutch grocer whose appearance alone caused a mild riot. while to hear him talk was worth the entire price of ad- mission. Gerald Rettig, as l.em Underduck, played the complicated role of Arabella's lover, Sheriff, private detective, and the entire Flynnville police force with an ease and vividness that continually sent the audience into gales of laughter. Thomas Flanagan acted the part of Michael Flynn as only Tim could have done. His self possession was not in the least disturbed by his somewhat unruly mustache, which, being overcome with stage fright, sank to the floor, making the urbane Mr. Flynns' exit more hurried than grace- ful. The role of Ned Rollingston, the college chap, was ably enacted by Ed- ward Dormer, whose fine appearance and perfect ease were very favorably commented upon. Marion Hopkins, as Flossie Neverest, vamped and danced with characteristic ability, and gave a very finished performance. Francis Ost. as Teckley Bramble, champion checker player. a great friend of the spirits, and a man of frequent moments, was a very successful defender 118 of his dignified title, and a perfect New England villager. Ray Berkheiser as Higgins, the butler, was all a butler could possibly be. In addition to the cast. the musical numbers were very popular, espec- ially the Arabella chorus, assisted by the By-Heck girls, who were recalled again and again. The impatient Lassies, in the opening chorus were very pretty in their neat white dresses and blue aprons. The Tennis girls, with their attractive sport outfits and tennis rackets, made a decided hit, and when they next appeared in the jazzy Dance O'Mania chorus they were all the name implies, and carried off the snappiest chorus of the show in a very professional way. The Shy Maids looked very demure in their dainty blue dresses and coquettish bonnets-quite different from their appearance in the Second Act, where as Guest Girls, they very successfully entertained both the reception guests, and the audience. But what greater contrast could possibly be imagined than the one displayed between the Villagers and the Dance My Lady Couples? Does it not seem incredible that those eight rubish looking villagers could be transformed ipto four charming Dance My Lady Couples, resplendent and dignified in their formal evening clothes? Then, last, but not least, camethe Grand Finale by the entire ensemble, open- ing with catchy Every Road. followed by Dance O' Mania, and closing with that irresistible Arabella Curtain l-and the Romantic Musical comedy was over. Mr. R. Rowland, director of the play, certainly deserves mention for his splendid work and inexhaustible patienceg also. Charlotte Neice. who gener- ously gave her time to accompany the singing and dancing at rehearsals: Hummels , who loaned furniture for the play: and members of the faculty who kindly chaperoned evening rehearsals. The Senior class also wishes to thank Miss Critz for her untiring assistance, and the pupils of the school for their wonderful cooperation both in selling tickets, and managing the pub- lication and stage work. A. M. T. llfl lllll X YIIEQQIE Music Music has played no small part in the work of P. H. S. this year. al- though as yet no outward manifestation of our increased knowledge of the' science of singing has been given. Early in the year 22-23 Girl's Chorus started with a vim. By dint of much work the girls were able to make a cred- itable showing. An able contemporary of Chorus was the High School Orchestra. This jolly crowd furnished much pleasure and joy at the mass meetings each Friday afternoon. Music formed a large part of our Christmas program. We were fav- ored with songs by the Chorus, selections by the orchestra, solos, piano selec- tions and songs by the boys double quartette which had been practicing very diligently for some weeks. After Christmas interest drooped somewhat. The Orchestra disap- peared as well as the double quartette, but Chorus struggled on. As spring approached, Miss VVingert, by her expert direction, had rounded this group of girls into a chorus, well worthy of any H. S. Indeed they sang so well that a program was arranged with which they entertained the public, some night during the annual Musical Festival. The chorus hav- ing been organized had as its president, Rhoda Ritter, secretary, Kathryn DeLong, and members numbering forty. To this chorus was added a group of boys famous for their Friday morning singing and with this excellent material to work with, the chorus set to work in earnest to prepare for the spring festival. Due to the combined efforts of Miss Wingert and Mr. Deihl, and the kindness of the faculty. a Monday morning chorus period was arranged. This was used for the mixed chorus, and the Monday 4 o'clock period continued as Girl Glee Club time. The girls and Miss VVingert are working hard, new and very good music has been procured. and everyone is looking forward to the Spring Music Festival particularly as it is the hrst public exhibition of the wonderful results Miss- Wingert has accomplished in High School. On May 18, during Music Week a program was given in Chapel period that was certainly an inspiration to all music lovers and all would-be musicians. Mr. Albert Kear, one of the leading violinists of town, gave a number of selections. which were greatly appreciated. Norman Lloyd a pupil from the Bunker Hill School also played several numbers, proving himself an exceptional player for one of his age. High School is very grateful to Miss VVingert for the interest she has taken and the time she has devoted to its Musical education, and hope she can return to us next year. 1 'O The Minuet VVhat would Wasl1ington's Birthday be without a Minuet? The school would feel it a direct insult to the Father of our Country if his natal day were not marked by the representation of the popular dance of his day. There have been many and varied Minuets given in P. H. S., but this Year's Minuet ranks with the best of them. The Minuet means more than the twelve figures, quaintly clad, en- tertaining the school for a few minutes on Washington's Birthday. This year as usual, it meant hastily swallowed lunches, people breathlessly hurry- ing to noon practices, then the practices themselves, with Miss Critz direct- ing trying her hardest not to look too disappointed. It was almost laughable to see the dancers, bowing at the wrong time, or to watch the girls trying vainly to successfully perform the graceful curtsey of Dame Washington's day. lt would be unfair to forget the pianist, Miss Betty Short, who came day after day and patiently accompanied the struggles towards perfection. Her part in the Minuet was by no means insignificant. But, the spectators, who watched day after day, their eyes glued to the crack in the door must not be forgotten. Who knows how important a factor they were? How could the dancers fail to be inspired by the enthus- iasm of spectators who were willing to climb up to giddy heights, to brave discomfort and peep through transoms and even to crouch behind the seats of the Auditorium in an attempt to escape notice, so that they might have one glimpse of the practices. Such eagerness to see the results of their efforts made the people in the Minuet more determined to please these brave souls who went to such lengths for a momentary view. Curiosity, in truth, works wonders,-sometimes. There was, of course. the usual difficulty in procuring suitable cos- tumes. But finally every one had been cared for, even Roseberry having been pushed and pulled into an, ancestral coat. The swords were assured, everything was in readiness as VVashington's Birthday drew nearer,-except the wigs. One evening all the girls assembled at Miss Critz's home to make the wigs. Little did their partners realize how their fate lay in the unaccus- tomed hands of these wig-makers. All went well, the wigs were progressing rapidly, when one fair maiden discovered a hole in her nearly completed wig. To her horror and consternation she discovered that the cotton had separ- ated, leaving one spot entirely bald. ,Her,effdi'ts to cover this spot were worthy of any hair-tonic manufactuer andfzjniuch more effective. After some time all the girls succeeded in making a wig that was at least able to be recognized as one. Then, aft.er an exchange of doubts and fears, the wigs were taken away to await the doubtful trying-on time. Now everything was in readiness, the Minuet awaited another Wash- ingt0n's Birthday. But the fame of the Minuet had gone abroad. Imagine the surprise when the American Legion asked the boys and girls in the Minuet to give it as part of their Washington's Birthday program. Accordingly, on the even- ing of February 22, the Minuet was given at the American Legion rooms. The next day the Minuet was given in school. With the first note of the music, the doors opened disclosing the dancers. They advanced slow- ly, the girls with their powdered hair, quaint. colorful dresses, and the boys 121 with their old fashioned costumes and gleaming swords, combining to form a charming picture. Swaying to the sweet, dignified movement of the music, the dancers once more tread the measure of ye old time Minuet. No dain- ty maids of long ago were ever more demure than these as they glanced coquettishly as their partners who displayed all the chivalric deference of the gentlemen of Washington's day. The school watched with interest and pleasure until the doors had closed again on the retreating dancers. Another Minuet was over. Once more Washington's Birthday had been celebrated with the time honored Minuet. This Minuet is a delightful custom. It seems a peculiarly beautiful and fitting way in which to commemorate the Birthday of the well-loved Washington. It carries with it a remembrance of the grace and charm of the people of the period. It is more than a mere entertainment, it has gained a place in the customs and traditions of old P. H. S. May this custom of the Minuet always continue, an annual tribute to the immortal Washington !

Thinking of the Boys and Girls, leaving school and starting out in life, made me think of the state of mind, they should be in so far as a position or job they may take, is concerned. And this thought occurred. A man's job is his best friend. It clothes and feeds him, pays the rent and supplies him with the necessary to develop himself and care for his family. The least you can do is to love your job-you'1l find it grateful and like a little garden, will thrive on love. It will bear you Flowers and fruits worth while, for you and yours to enjoy. Any successful person will tell you that they made good because they liked, yes loved their work-heart and soul are wrapped up in it-all their energies, mental and physical are centered on it, they walk and they talk their work-they are tied right up to it. And that is the way we all want to be if we are worth our salt, and intend to make of our work what we should, and make of ourselves, what we should want to be. Love your job, and your Job will bring you many returns. WE SELL FURNITURE, CARPETS, RUGS, CLOTHING-THAT'S OUR JOB-AND WE LIKE IT. BRITTO -HOFFMA THE CO. 141 Sy X XM Z . 5:13 M X.
