H. S. At first our new home seemed strange, but with the aid of our sister class and the faculty we soon arranged our course and began our journey. In athletics we were a bit timid. However, the girls organized a hockey team and supported Mary Dimmerling on the Girls, Varsity. Christmas came and with it the Freshies' tree. To us, it was the most beautiful tree we had ever seen. Our ideas of social life were soon displayed when We held our first party. Soon after that we reached the end of the second semester and drew a big sigh of relief. The following year we journeyed to the Land of Wise Fools and became Sophomores. It took only a few days to arrange our schedules, acquire books, etc. At this time we were sorry to hear that Mr. Diehl was unable to return because of illness. Mr. Weiss filled the vacancy quite well. VVe also gained the acquaintances of Misses Dunmoyer, Mclfwcn, Mrs. Steele and lwessrs. Gaskins, Beard and Coach Rogowicz. To make the classes sit up and take notice we sent a first-class hockey team on the field, which held the juniors to the tight score of l-0. Will we ever forget the banquet? Next came basketball, the class pulled together and bought suits for their faithful team. Again the g'rls were represented by Mary Dimmerling on the Girls' Varsity. During this season we also captured first prize in ticket selling. We also held a delightful social gathering, in the form of a Valentine Party, with the chaperons, Misses Short, Unger and Critz and Messrs. Long and Smith, as well as several of the mothers. At this time the Sophomore Orchestra showed its ability as future talent. After a short and very pleasant vacation we lowered anchor on the shores of the Dignified -Juniors. We were now upper classmen and had to distinguish ourselves as such, so we decided to work hard for our acquired number of credits. Two sad things happened this year when we lost our cheerful little friend, Lloyd James, and our honorable Mr. Umbenhen, for fourteen years a member of our School Board. There were alsornany changes in the faculty. Miss Long and Messrs. Flaig, Moser, Sawyer and Coach Grimmett proved very efficient and popular. Also, we welcomed llflr. Bell, our new principal. Again the Girls' Hockey Team played for the championship, losing by a score of 1-0. Then came our favorite sport, basketball. The boys clinched the class championship, while the girls sent Helen Robbins, lvlary Dimmerling and Kitty Scheurer on the Girls' Varsity. Page ffulflqlf N ,. Jigrgai' ff- r' A ,ff 'Q-gf., , , ,L--Q LK, gd ,, 'sm A I X 4 T fi ,K A 1' k LA' Q . +- -- 3--T . I ' X Instead of having a common, ordinary party, we sent out invitations to all our classmates and friends, which read: Spend a night in Hollywood-Come dressed as somebody else and be yourself. In the minds of all will be the Phantom of the Opera, Thomas Matthews, and Topsy, Caroline Raring. The music was fur- nished by the Harold Teen Orchestra -Juniors. Commencement soon came, and this time we viewed the exercises from the front row. VVe realized only too well how soon our turn would come. Our three years of travel passed like the winds of March, and our good ship landed us at Port Glory-Seniors. Again we entered upon a year of changes in the faculty, Misses Krell and Kissander and the Messrs. Hoke, Brown and Coach Stevens, as Well as our honorable principal, Mr. Moser. During one of the practices of the Varsity Football Team one of our loyal candi- dates, lllarlin lllorgan, suffered a broken collar bone. However, this did not put an end to his football career, for he coached the Class Football Team to the championship. Much to the sorrow of the girls, the hockey game had to be postponed until spring because of the early snowfall. Our last party was held at the Holly Roof and was enjoyed by all. Nothing could look any more like a circus than that party. Sometimes victors, sometimes losers, but we held the championships in basketball, fcotball and the indoor track meet. The Girls' Varsity consisted of three well-known Seniors, Helen Robbins, llflary Dimmerling and Ella Nora Pickel. Just before Christmas the A. A. presented their play You and I. And then our last Christmas in the hall of P. H. S., with the six beautifully decorated trees, made us feel as though we never wanted to leave. Later the townspeople and the students witnessed one of the best plays ever pre- sented in Pottsville, called So This Is London. As usual, the minuet proved a Wonderful part of the day's program and was given by Misses Marian Buell, Catherine Ryan, Caroline Raring, Rebecca Neal, Ida Antok- olitz, Mary Murtha and Messrs. Frank Fisher, Elwood Holstein, Ronald Lewis, Charles Hummel, Norman Dropkin and Herrvvood Hobbs. Never will we forget how diligently we Worked for the loan for a New High School Cwhich did not passj for the benefit of our underclassmates. The remainder of the term was spent in a trip to Washington and preparations for graduation. And now, we wish to express our gratitude and thanks to our teachers, friends, classmates, parents and dear principals for making these four years of journey the happiest and most profitable of our lives. We shall never forget our dear Alma Mater, for Firm are the friendships, strong are the ties, Binding us to thee. Page thirteen ,.p..1w?-' 7 ,gijxm 4 A 'EY 1 W., V ., -- ,.., orgy 1 JM.

SARAH ELIZABETH ALTER For four years Sarah has been a faithful mem- ber of our hockey team and developed a wicked whack. She is a member of the Glee Club, Scientific Society, Invitation Committee and also adds great amusement to the S. N. B. S. E. A. desires to go to Africa as a missionary. Class of 27 thinks Sarah should become a poetess, as she received a pass to Hollywood for her contributions to Hi-S-Potts. IDA ANTOKOLITZ Ida is one of the best-looking girls in our class. During our four years in P. H. S. she entered into all activities, especially in hockey. Her clear soprano voice was also a help to the Glee Club. Ida has the honor of being the first to have a commencement partner, but then we don't blame Woody, Ida has hopes of becoming a C. P. A. Don't forget we're counting on you, Ida! CARL W. BANKS Our foremost musician, Carl is the jazz hound of our class. 'In the Senior Orchestra, in the Symphony Orchestra, his saxaphone bubbles ca- ressing melodies to his certain party. Even though Carl will study engineering in Lehigh, we know he will play in the school orchestra. We fear his sax will get the better of him and that he will play jazz all his life. We wish him luck. KATHERINE BENSINGER They say silence is golden, but methinks also that silence is beauty, and a thing of beauty is a joy forever. Miss Bensinger hails from Port Carbon. That town can feel proud of Katherine. The dignity of this person is remarkable, never have we seen anyone retain their dignity with less effort, in trying times, than Miss Bensinger. Because of her sterling character her success is assured. Page fifteen N ,X fx Q ., 9- fi--7 ,,fj slrl -HL, .

When the senior football team was organized, Berndt was the unanimous choice for captain. Under his leadership the team became champions of the Interclass League. In future years Berndt will undoubtedly be identi- fied with political movements-as a leader. GRACE BITTLE Grace and her car are a very popular couple. She takes it to football games and track meets away from home. In her senior year Grace helped out in the office, assisting Miss Hutchinson. That gentleman from Cressona seems to get along very well with Grace, doesn't he? Grace, 27 wishes you all the happiness you can enjoy. MARIAN BROKHOFF Gentlemen prefer blondes is a true state- ment as applied to Marian, but remember, we said gentlemen. Marian is a member of our hockey team. She gets a great deal of practice running to school, for she lives in Mountain View. There isn't any question of the beautiful scenery at Mountain View, and it is only natural that the virtues of the chidlren should run in parallel lines. Here's success, Marian. ANNA E. BROWN One of Anna's most notable achievements was the part of Miss Bob White in the play Miss, Bob White, which she filled very capably. Since then her activities have been numerous. Nancy is an athletic young woman. She played hockey for three years and ran in our girls' meet for three years. In social life and in the realmwof music Anna is a decided success. We know she'll keep it up. Page sixteen ixifxn M E' . i lfrfsf '. ,, ..rt -413, .f4ff:,h M ., 5.-r 'i . 1- 1.-. -.pw '. -vm 'Wes-tx V :N .

If she carries this out in life we feel sorry for that C-e-r-t-a-i-n p-a-r-t-y.'l 'fBeets is a member of the famous S. N. B., and gales of laughter are often pro- duced by her wise cracks. Betty, when you are broad-casting from VVJZ, keep in mind the class of 'f27 is listening in. MARIAN LILLIAN BUELL Another member of that Saturday Nite Bunch. She may be tiny, but yould be sur- prised. In declamation Marion's pleasing voice and manner have many times entertained the audi- ences and the Juniors in the auditorium. What a charming Colonial Dame Teddy Bear made in fe minuet on Washington's Birthday! Marion must be extravagant, having so many Bills, but did manage to keep her accounts straight as cashier in the home room banking. JAMES CANFIELD Jim is one of the older fellows in our class n u ' and although he is very quiet and reserved, he has many friends. In sports Canfield is no slouch, he played class basketball for three years. During the past years he has been studious. Jim has that one trait which is lacking among most of us, he is able to attend to his own business without interfering with everyone about him. Much may he hoped for from Canfield. KITTY CANFIELD Kitty is the giggliest girl of the classy if the world were upside down Kitty would find some- thing to laugh at. The success of the A. A. dance is due to Kittyls writing cramps. Kit was up to her neck in invitations for two weeks, but came through famously. Almost every morning Kitty is late. But it's all right, 27 knows she'll get there anyway.

JEANETTE CARL What would that famous S. N. B. do without her? As hostess of camp K. K. K. Jeanette has yet to be beaten. Jet seems very fond of val- uable stones-especially diamonds. But then, Jeannette always picks worth-while things. In the future Jet expects to take up the study of home economics. 27 considers this an excellent idea since who could be more charm- ing as a mistress of a little red bungalow? NELSON CLAYTON ' Nels, Zacko and the Ford. A remarkable trio, yet no more remarkable than Nels. Nels was quarter on the 27 champion football team and by using his knowledge of football pulled the team through gloriously. Nels played a good game in basketball and is a promising infielder for the Senior Class team. The class wishes Nelson his measure of success. l JOHN CONWAY This is the Editor-in-Chief of this Annual- not an imitation. You wouldn't think it to look at him, but John is very bashful. John played tackle on the championship 27 football team and did away with several Sophomores. In his spare time he grinds gas at the Riverside fill- ing station and says he meets lots of nice girls there Cahaj. John has not yet decided on his career. LORETTA DALEY Loretta must have a firm belief in the saying Distance lends enchantment, or why Chicago? We admit it must be a nice place, but then you should patronize your home town. As opposites always attract, Loretta has an ardent admirer in Baby Face, and we expect any time Sex Appeal to serenade you on his banjo. 27 pictures you as a SIQ and coy mistress of a cottage on the Great Lakes.

She is very fond of studying, especially shorthand and, of course, dogs, in any size, color, shape or form. The class of 'f27 wishes you a great deal of happiness and success, and we suggest that you take up professional card playing, since you win so many prizes. EDWARD DEITE R Ed is one of the quiet unassuming fellows of our class. It seems he spends most of his time practicing on his banjo. Ed plays in our school orchestra. He seems to End all girls both amus- ing and a nuisance. Ed is always happy and has a smile for everyone, it is his kind that make the class. We some day expect to see him heading his own orchestra. EMANUEL DIAMOND Manny plays the traps in the famous Senior Orchestra and is responsible for a great deal of the success. Although he did not receive his numerals, due to an injury, Manny neverthe- less aided very much in bringing the Interclass football championship to us. t'Manny's Lexing- ton takes the track men down to the Fair Grounds every day. His capacity for work and desire to help others assure him of success. MARY DIMMERLING Mary is best known for her personality and basketball. To the first we may say that a more charming personality is to be had nowhere, and as to the latter-well, actions speak louder than words. Mary and HBucko make a most popular couple-what's this about a skiing party? If she plays the game of life as hard and con- sistently as she plays basketball success will surely come her way.

She is very quiet and studious, always knows her lessons, but is still popular. Alma went and got scarlet fever on a Saturday and didn't get us a day off. We don't know much about Alma's boy friend, but she has one all the same. We are confident that Alma with her well-known ability will succeed. GERTRUDE EBER Behold! Our future concert star. Gertrude always finds time to practice, which is, of course, several hours every day. Her selection of pieces shows her appreciation for good music. The event that attracts Gertrude's attention next to piano playing is football M-m-m-m-m-m-Mlll How about it, Gertrude? Gertrude has the ability to carry on a conversation with anyone, as she is well versed on every subject. The class of 'f27 extends their best wishes. A FRANK L. FISHER Here's to our best athlete. Although he has been active in athletics ever since he entered P. H. S. joe has never made a fuss about it. This season he went out for basketball and made the team, also the captaincy. Aside from ath- letics, Frank is active in school. He is our class president, a T. K. D. frater, a player in the Symphony Orchestra and the Class Orchestra. Frank was a dignified Colonial squire in the Minuet and was a dependable worker on the annual staff. He will study electrical engineering. BERTHA FLAIL Bertha is the quiet kind whose nature never changes. Bertha believes in Hnishing whatever she starts. She is also a thorough student, ready to recite whenever called upon. Her disposition is an asset to the class of 27. Bertha is very shy and seems to find the boys of P. H. S. unin- teresting. We wonder if she is that way outside of school. Success surely will come her way, of this we feel certain.

To prove he was a real he-man he went out and earned his football letter this year, thereby winning the school's admiration. Bucko will be an athletic director. May good luck attend you to the end-this from your classmates. ,DOROTHEA SELTZER FOSTER This is the girl who never argues? During our four years in P. H. S. Dot has had many crushes, and in love affairs ranks second only to Beck Neal. Dorothy seldom misses a basket- ball game. We don't blame you a bit, Dot , we do have a good team! In the S, N. B. Dot is famous for her I thought I'd die. Dot is a good student and expects to major in chemistry. ANNA FRANCIS Our cross-word puzzle shark, Anna believes in the theory of burning the midnight oil. Anna made a splendid hockey goaler and by her quick action saved many games for the Seniors. Jackie is quite a poet, and Hi-S-Potis is grate- ful to you, for their motto is Always give credit where credit is due. We suggest, Anna, that you take up Y. W. C. A. work. We know you would make a splendid general Secretary. JOHN GAUGHAN John was the surprise of the year. He went out for track and for many days in succession kept the school applauding. He lowered the existing track records on the indoor track. john is popular with his class, but not nearly so much as he is with the juniors. johnny is famed for his ready wit. His remarks about Macbeth are an education in themselves. John will surely succeed. Page twenty-one 17:73, '19hIl,.'B,MM F' in A 'lux Li. tx- I X 4 :i Vu WmQ .'L. 'mt-T-T.,asi..... J x . .

He played on the Junior and Senior basketball teams and the Senior football team- all champion teams. Joe is a T. K. D. man. His witty jokes, his ready appreciation, his Hash- ing smile have popularized him among his fraters and fellow-students. joe hikes to Wolf Creek often and enjoys camping there overnight. MARTHA GRAVER Martha is one of our reserved little classmates, usually very quiet and backward until she gets with her bunch-then-watch her break even the record of the vice-president of the Bachelors' Club for talking. Mart has brought laurels to our class through speed and ellicieney in type- writing. As our secretary, Martha has kept excel- lent minutes, which proves as His Secretary she will excel all her competitors. 'K27 hopes l'Lady Luckn will always be with you. JUNE GRAY In the short time june attended Pottsville High she made many friends. She came from Port Carbon to complete her education. Unfortun- ately, June became seriously ill at Christmas and has been unable to return to school. 27 is certain that June with her charming personality will succeed. ESTHER HA RDING There's no mistake about the wide-spread fame of the class of 27. It reaches as far as Auburn in this case, Esther is noted as one of the great dinner bunch. What would the hockey team ever do without Esther to sell their candy to the hungry members of P. H. S.? Even Mr. Gaskins likes to come over to Miss Critz's room to purchase sweets. i'27 hopes you will carry our name into fur- ther lands than you have.

Miss Heckman never favors gentlemen with so much as a glance. However, we believe that all her looks are being saved for some lucky fellow. We Hrmly believe that Ethel has great things stored up, and may her use of them in the future be successful. FREDERICK HE RMANN Fritz played a snappy game at end on the Senior champion team. Frederick is interested in the Junior Class-Horrors! How many re- served seats do you need when you go to a game, Fritz? They certainly do mob you, but then it must be your curly hair. Souvenir col- lection doesn't pay, does it Fritz? But we know it's only in fun. 27 wishes you great fortune along life's path. HERRWOOD E. HOBBS Stretch is the busiest man in the school. To start with, he is Editor-in-Chief of Hi-S-Potts and a very eH'icient one, too. He fought for 27 interclass meets and on the class basketball team forthree years. In his Junior year he was very popular as cheer leader and won his letter. He will be our Class Historian at Commencement. Soap will surely succeed. ELWOOD HOLSTEIN Woody is indeed versatile. His music and poetry, his oratory and acting assure him his place in Pottsville High's Hall of Fame. With one hour's notice Woody was transformed from a dozing French student dreaming of Notre Dame to a dignified Colonial squire doing the Minuet. Not at all surprising, eh, what? Woody edited the dramatic department of this book and certainly did it well. Page twenty-three -C K.. ,.tak,:,.,?-atf6 'f:411'le,,., ipv- 4 I -,,..,.a.'lf d 4 Y! .uf ' -fi. We ff .,, l , , ZW, V.

This seemed to be Charley's slogan this year, and correspondingly, f'Barney and his bus have be- come widely known throughout P. H. S. The school is indebted to Hummel for the influence he used in securing the proper furniture for our numerous plays. VVith your opportunities, Barney, we expect to see you at the head of Pottsvillels leading furniture house some day. ROBERT JONES Although Bohn has been with us but two years, he is a whole-hearted Senior. He played a snappy game at end on the 27 championship team and has served on many committees. Bob has the leading male part in the Senior play. He does not object at all to the leading girl. We believe Bob plans to go to Lehigh next year. We are sure he'll succeed in course and his profession. SAMUEL T. JONES Sam earns the money to go to Schuylkill Haven to see his Sheba by his skill at the piano at Linder's. Baron is the pianist of the 'fSnappy Seniorsll and is also at the piano in the Symphony Orchestra. We'd tell you some of his jokes, but they have been accepted by f'Judge long ago. Sam will take an advanced music course at the New York Conservatory of Music, and we know he will some day be famous. HAROLD KINZEY Scrapper is one of the boys who were barred from athletics by the eight semester rule. Many people have wondered how a fellow as good looking as Kinzey could stay away from the opposite sex as long as he has, latelyg however, this barrier has been overcome by a certain fruit found in the vicinity of Twelfth and Howard Avenue. We can foresee nothing but success for Harold if only he will remain himself and not get HPickled. Page twenty-four .H L .1 . , N J J it 'N 1.1.41 i n ,f S' 'f K f H2 w w fwawifei a ww imp sis .

'fBeans at present, besides going to school, is associated with the Hollywood Theatre, and whenever there are signs to be painted Tom- mie slings the dye. In the future there will be a very large, powerful movie circuit-The Thomas C. Knowles, jr., Theatres. ANNA LEVAN Anna played hockey for four years and cap- tained her team the last year. She is also a member of the Scientific Society and the Glee Club. In our Senior year our Hrst semesterls success was due to Anna's leadership as presi- dent. Anna, do not let the United Syndicate bother you. Like real newspaper men, they sur- mise things, write them as facts. They just think they're humorous. RONALD LEWIS s Ladies and gentlemen, it is our privilege and pleasure to introduce to you the famous Eggy Lewis, well-known character actor and raC0ntCur. Ronald impersonates anything from a block of wood to a follies girl, but his greatest popularity this year came from his doing the Polar Sweets man. Give our regard to Earl and Joyce, '4Eggy, and a rosy future to yourself. HARRY LIGHTSTONE Harry is a brilliant student and keen business man. All his class work is excellent, and his business arguments on the annual staff and A. A. Board are sound and show natural ability. His speeches in chapel on track have kept the fellows going out and served to arouse interest in track. Harry debated on the 'fWar Debtsl'-he's a whiz when talking finances. Harry will surely be a success.

NORMAN LLOYD Norm is quite undecided at present on the question of his career. Since he has been so suc- cessful as a local humorist, he feels that he should advance to larger fields, but then it would be unfair to mankind for him to neglect his music. Lloyd's only serious thoughts Cif anyj are on music and track. We would rather see you a good composer than a bum jokster. CHARLES LOTZ 'fBaby Face has served the class in many ways-football and track and strumming the banjo in the Senior Orchestra. This big he-man leads the Banking Council and has put a new era of saving in P. H. S. Charlie tries to play the part of an inebriate. He's only fooling, however, and is entirely harmless. We are igno- rant of Charles' chosen profession, but he will certainly be successful. THOMAS MATTHEWS 'fTom is the all-around most popular boy in the class. He played class basketball for two years, took high honors in all our meets and played on the championship Z7 football team. In the social world HTom is very popular and played in our Senior Orchestra. f'Tommy and Bucko'l Flannery resolved not to wear hats all winter unless the thermometer went to 60 below. Tom canont help but succeed. LOIS MICHAEL Lois is noted for her loyalty to the Senior Class and her dependability. She has ever been ready to give a helping hand in any class activity. Lois was an able president in our Junior year. Lois served on the editorial staff of this book and certainly proved her dependability. Again we say happiness and success in life.

The new scientific and, we may say, artistic way of cheer- ing, as taught by Miller, is a credit to our school. For three years 'fBill conducted the class orchestra and during his Senior year played the violin in the Symphony Orchestra. Surely success awaits him. ALICE MILLINGTON HAI has proven herself a brilliant student here. But when it comes to talking she and Zel run tie for second, with Fire Chief Steven- son first. And to hear her read in problems of democracy class one would think she would drop over any minute from exhaustion. Such speed is only shown by the Port Carbon trolley cars. With the little we have seen of Alice we are highly impressed. MARTHA MILLINGTON Martha is one of the relations, whether poor or not is unknown, although it is known that she does not lack quality of personality. She is one of the happiest and jolliest girls in school. Miss Millington, even though she comes from another high school, has shown her loyalty to Pottsville High by playing on the girls' varsity basketball team until illness forced her to give it up. MARLIN S. MORGAN Oh! Heavens, isn't he good looking? He's the big boy who coached the 27'l football team to victory and championship of the school. Mar- lin's write-ups for Hi-S-Poll: and the annual are very clever. If you wish a thrill ask Marlin to sing Dear Alma Mater or repeat Milt0n's Il Pensoroso, in French. On several occasions Marlin has displayed his ability as an orator and has been fully appreciated by his class- mates. Page t-wenty-:elven ' ' ' 'tw . 1 W.. ..- ,4:f ' A rf, , I X ,1 XX r . ORPAH MOYER Orpa is a quiet, studious girl from the east side of own. Orpah, as has been said, is studi- ousg this is proven by her work in Mr. Moserls English class. Her notes are always complete and up to date. One time Mr. Moser asked Miss Moyer what she thought was Scott's best work. Immediately Orpah replied, Emulsion With such a breadth of knowledge Orpah is fitted for life's task. MARY MURTHA A charming, active girl, Mary was our Fresh- man treasurer and mainstay of the hockey team for three years. In the Colonial play and Minuet Mary was entirely at home, going through the figures with ease and grace. Mary enjoyed the Senior party immensely. Why? Who knows? The United Syndicate has nothing on Mary. Eggie cannot scare her. As a hair- dresser Mary should startle Pottsville, make her pile, retire. REBECCA NEAL Behold! The, champion heart-breaker of the class of 27 ! i'Beck, how ever can you keep them all straight? Beck and Tom lend orig- inality to our parties. For two years Beck was a member of the hockey team and always played the game. Can Becky Charleston? Natur- ally! She can sing, entertain, in fact, most anything. UBeek's memory books would make an excel- lent reference library for the editor of Annie Laurie in Hi-S-Potts. LEONARD NICHOLAS 'tNick is one of the parrots of our class and a wise bird. He doesn't even know the meaning of the word 'Ksilencef' .Ask him sometime. He must sit up every night reading college maga- zines for wise-cracks, for he has a new one for everybody. Nick is also a loyal classmate in athletics. Varsity football, interclass meets and class basketball since his Freshman year. Every- body wishes Nick success as a D. D.

Girls like him, but most of 'AArt's activities are in athletics. This year he managed the football team and starred in basketball. He' was in the County Field Meet the last two years and helped us win the interclass meet this year. 27 wishes him success in his chosen vocation, DANIEL D. PACENTA Dan, one of the big men of our class, has changed quite a bit during his four years in high school. In his first three years he was just a real nice boy, but now he is a Senior, and how? His repute as a shiek has spread far and wide. One hears that the Duke is having three dozens of his pictures made. Dan has played football three years in high school and he is quite a valuable man in track and field. MILDRED PFLUGER We now introduce you to the bashful member of our class. Mildred is extremely bashful-even her best friends say so. We sometimes wonder where she gets the courage to whack a hockey ball so hard. , Mildred has learned to drive her car, maybe this will be a cure for her one fault. Mildred is going to West Chester and will be the future teacher of our class. ELLANORA PICKEL Zipper is the talkingest girl in the class- if you'd let her go sheld talk you to death. But it gives her exercise for her basketball, so we let her go. Besides basketball this year, Zipper has played hockey for four years. Ellanora demonstrated her ability as an actress in three of our A. A. plays and as a singer in the Glee Club. Her classmates will always remember her as one of t'27's,' heartiest supporters.

S. by fond ties is quite apparent from the time he spent there, but what one of us would not stay there all our life if we had the attraction he has. Charley is quite popular among his fellow- students and seems to get along well with the faculty. His life now is harmonious, but will it be so if certain things happen that we antici- pate? CA ROLINE RA RING Let us now present our most popular girl. Witness her in three A. A. plays, a charming Colonial Dame in the Colonial play and Min- uet -never mind, f'Coz,'l it wonlt happen again. 'fCoz is equally popular among the girls and among the boys. Her ready smile has won her many friends. Four years she stuck with the hockey team, no matter how stiff it made her. Here's good luck to you, Coz. ZELINA REESE Zel came to us from Port Carbon High School, and it does not seem possible that any of her time there was wasted, because she sure does display an unusual amount of knowledge. Her recitations are never without vim, vigor and vitality, especially in problems of democracy, where she always socializes her recitations. We feel sure that she can talk her way to success. KENNETH REEVES Ken entered from Port Carbon in Sep- tember. It looks as if he received experience in Port, for as soon as he came he started a mad affair with a certain Senior. At their second meeting he asked her for his Commencement partner. When Ken arrived in time and didn't forget anything he played saxaphone in the famous Senior Orchestra and also in the sym- phony. Ken will take architecture at State.

Her questions are never without thought, nor are they foolish. Rebecca is a very fine musician. So great were her talents that Prof. MacDonald signed her up at first sight. Rebbecca took her part well in the Colonial play. We wish you cartloads of success, Becky. S. HELENE ROBBINS Helene has been quite popular throughout her high school career, not only because of her scholastic ability, but also because of her skill in hockey and basketball. We canont say what the future holds for Helene. She seems quite unde- cided as to whether she should come back to P. H. S. and coach girls' basketball or to become a nurse, but we do know she will be successful because of her winning ways. JOHN ROWELL Johnnie reads everything from The Iliad to Here's How. john's fund of knowledge is quite large, as is his vocabulary fnothing insinu- atedj. He, together with Lightstone Harry, debated on the VVar Debts -and won. A mem- ber of the Scientific Society and former class treasurer f 25 J, John's influence in class politics has always been felt. John has all the qualifica- tions for a politician-a glib tongue, winning ways, Irish blood. CATHERINE RYAN Catherine had brought scholastic laurels to our class and has won fame in hockey. Since all rules have exceptions, Catherine finds charm in the Junior Class. Ask Cathie whether the S. N. B. like chicken sandwiches-Oh, no-not at all. Catherine was an able class president in our Sophomore year and a charming Colonial Dame in the K'Minuet. Catherine will enter Wellesley.in the fall. 27 is certain she will earn success.

So quiet and studious is she that one hardly knows what to say. However, Anna found time in her Senior year to play hockey. Her success as goaler is known to everyone. If Anna continues to study as she has she will undoubtedly be a well-known scholar. WILLIAM H. SCHLITZER Bill is one of the few taking Latin IV and claims he would get better grades if Virgil hadn't writen it in Latin. He is famed in school for his crazy and senseless cracks, Bill has been one of the forwards on the class basket- ball team since its start and halfback on the 27 champion football team. He has also been a class officer. The class of f'27 assures him success and patronage as W. H. Schlitzer, M. D. SARAH SEAMAN Sarah is one of the very few of her sex who are punctual. In fact, she is very seldom-if ever-late for school or any appointment. Sarah has also brought honor to our class by her typewriting and arithmetic. On account of this we picture her in the future as Somebody's Stenogj' and we are sure that she will be a good one. Our best wishes, Sarah! RAYMOND SERFASS Ray is our busiest Senior. Socially he is a T. K. D. frater and a jolly Gedunkerl He is baseball manager, class basketball forward and a track man. In our Sophomore year Ray was class president. In our Senior year he was Stu- dent Cabinet president, business manager of the annual and a member of the A. A. Board. Such all-round popularity is well deserved.

Shore has all the ear marks of a good lawyer. His love of argument is quite apparent in Mr. Hoke's P. of D. classg however, there are always 'fgood arguments to both sides of the question. jack, because of his care-free nature, should have an interesting future. FREDERICK STOFFLER Very cynical about nothing in particular, Ink will some day take the place of G. B. S. Fred is the best-dressed Senior boy. His Jolly Gedunker red top-knot adds much to the color harmony of his clothes. The wails of his sax in the Senior Orchestra harmonizes also on occa- sions. Fred is quite a manager, having man- aged f'You and I, the Senior football team and class basketball team. MARGARET STRAUSSER Margaret quite often visits Tremont. One hears she has a boy friend over there by the name of. .it almost slipped. But we won't tell. Margaret is very musical, for she played in our Symphony Orchestra and sang in the Girls' Glee Club. Her quietness and dislike for boys probably explain why her school work is so well done. The class of 27 wishes her success and happiness in her career. WILLIAM TYSON For no reason at all Tyson was chosen to be it this year. When things went wrong Tyson did it, or when someone made the winning basket 'fTyson did it. Bill did something. He wrote the best essay on movies and received a movie pass for two months. Not bad at that. 'fBill's ancestors for generations were eminent bankers. We are looking to William to uphold the family traditions.

A science bug and member of the Scientific Society, Harry is also a track man. He scored in the indoor meet and looks promising for the county meet. From all appearances, girls do not interest Harry. But why is he not a member of the Bachelor Club? There must be a reason. l FRED WARMKESSEL Fred is the owner of The Galloping Ford. Lynn Edwards and he are the two Flivverites of P. H. S. Fred says to Lynn, How's your car- buretor? Lynn says to Fred, Not so good, hows your distributor? Fred can go all the way to Philadelphia on a broken cylinder-head gasket. Fred's newest passenger is a certain Sophomore by the name of Ruth. Fred is studi- ous and certain of success. MARION WEINMANN No introduction is need for Marion, since she is our school pianist. Music is a great art of Marion's, and her playing helped make the Minuet a great success. This brunette is Very studious, for she carries so many subjects. We don't really see how she can pass them. Success seems to a Senior to be a word to be preached about, but the class of 27 wishes you all the future can hold. Page thirty-four er-QT ' , -. H... ,M Y W 4. is - M, . .

TALE The Editors We're in the class of 28 And Juniors as you know, But you'll never find out who we are Unless we tell you so. You've chosen us as historians, And we apreciate the fact, But it took much time and labor And a great deal more of tact. We hope you'll like our tactics And also like our lines And not, when we disclose our names, Impose upon us fines. We've done as. well as possible, And better it's hard to do, Even if we do say so, But then-that's up to you. Of course, we pulled some wise ones And added some innovations, But please don't, when you know us, Shower us with condemnations. There's one thing we wish to tell you, And one that can't be denied, For no matter who or what you are Your name has not been defied. But before we disclose our identity We have something more to say About our weekly paper And the enthusiasm you did display. We wish to thank you for it, And we say we're mighty pleased, But we had to discontinue, Or our grades would soon have ceased. But now it's time to tell you Who we really, really are, For we know you're nearly crazy From looking near and far. I. Bear is Francis Smedleyg Herbert Stephenson, A.

JOE having found the weight of the cork in air, tried to weigh it in water, but with no success.

FRANK PRESTILEO, Prop. - Athletics In athletics the Juniors were quite suocess- ful, having six members of the class in varsity football, four in varsity basketball and four in girls' varsity basketball. Intra-mural footbal was an innovation this year. The Juniors took third place. The Junior basketeers gave a good account of themselves in their various games. ' The girls responded to the call of hockey but encountered a poor season, so they played but one game. However, taking everything into considera- tion, the juniors were very successful in the athletic world. P. H. S. THEATORIUM COMING! COMING.'

PAUL SCHLITZER has been intrusted with the funds of the Tszorus Club. All members are shadowing him. CLARA DENGLER says she doesn't know what will become of the world if it doesn't reform soon. PAUL MATTHEWS is the Junior nit-wit. A revolution is nothing compared to a class with him present. EMMA YERKES was a new addition to the class this year and has already become a tamed penman. Not to be outdone by Shelhamer, HAROLD POLLACK will open a school for the teaching of Latin exclusively. It would be easier to pull a pair of Tug-o- War Overalls apart than to separate VIOLET ZIMMERMAN and EDNA WILLIAMS.

SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY MM. -M Station S-O-P-H broadcasting from Pottsville High School. Wave length 29. Announcers-lllartha Hertzog, Ruth Eber, Edward Dormer and Ned hlessersmith. The static is very bad this year due to Hopper Allen and Betty Nagle. The first number on the program will be a summary of the activities of the class of 29 during the year 1926-27, by the well-known orator, Ernest Zukauskus: Shortly after the school term of 1926-27 began, the Sophomore Class held its first meeting of the year. The oHicers'elected were: Margaret Bell, Presidentg Edward Messersmith, Vice-Presidentg Dorothy Knoll, Scretary, and Russel Charles, Treasurer. Miss Johnson was our charming and very much interested sponsor. On November fifteenth, our annual class-party was held at the Holly Roof in the form of a Masquerade. Miss Short livened up the party by appearing in a most unique costume, which 'took first prize. lVliss Krell was the hit of the party and had all the boys falling for her, especially Dick Moore. Everyone had a pleasant time, but, unfortunately, the party broke up too soon for most of the Sophs. The football season was now in full swing, and the Sophomores came forth with a fast team, which just about missed being the champions, due to the fastest player, Butch , Wachter, being promoted to the varsity squad. ' The girls' hockey team also fared well and will play the final championship game with the Seniors. At the beginning of the second semester a meeting was held for the purpose of electing new officers. The following were elected: Edward Messersmith, Presi- dentg Anne llflurtha, Vice-President, Robert Reilly, Secretary, and Martha Hertzog, Treasurer. s At the opening of the basketball season the Sophs appeared with a fast team as usual. . Last, but not least, we must not forget our hard-warking cheer leaders, Russ Charles and Glennwood F reeze.

Miss Krell says that the Sophomores make more noise than any other class in the school, but that's just 'because there are two Howells in the class, Marian and Burton. i Frank Thompson would like 'to travel, but he has heard that travel broadens one, and he can't afford to get any broader. Marian Robbins makes a lot of noise for a person of her size. Helen Zubritzky has waves aspermanent as those of the ocean. Johnnie Candee is very sweet on Freshmen.

Chester Starr says that women are all right if you treat them all right, but don't treat them too often. William Gressang has a job taking pictures-frames and all. -Q Mike Bowler is the renowed 'Hi-S-Potts writer of the Sophomore Class. William Dirschedl believes that good goods come in small packages. He thinks he's lovely. Clyde is a dandy Dando. Ethel Berger has a schoolgirl complexion, and not graduated, either. Mae Drake may be some relative of a duck, but that doesn't prevent her from being a chicken. Mirium Silvius would love to be a Countess That's easy, just marry an Earl. The Sophomore Orchestra, consisting of Bill LeVan, Al Hargey, Homely Horrman, .Moe Refowich, Karl Arbogast and a few Juniors and Seniors, is pretty good, if they must say so themselves. They all finish at the same time. We expect to see Mary Kuentzler prepare for rifle practice soon. She's bent on catching a Haak.

After I want to Philadelphia I took a sleeper and settled down for a long night's sleep. My pet parrot began to amuse itself by singing a song I had learned when my school was working for a new building. Pottsville true, Pottsville true, croaked Polly. Across the aisle in the berth several bumps and thumps warned me that I must quiet the bird. She began again, Cross my heart, I love you, announced Polly. The person in the berth across the aisle continued: Every person in Pottsville is ready to vote, and Hnished it, much to my astonishment. The next morning I went in to breakfast, and opposite me at the table sat the person across the aisle. On investigation he proved to be my old classmate of P. H. S. William Hill. It appeared that We were on the same mission, namely, to see the world 3 so we agreed to travel together. We stopped at Pittsburgh and went to our hotel. There in the lobby, as after a hockey game, was Esther Chadwick, on her knees scrubbing the floor and her hands at the same time, much to the amusement of a very progressive-looking man talking to her. The man glanced up as we entered and rushed forward to greet us. It was Mart O'Hara, who had pushed his way through the steel industry just as he had ploughed his way through a football line in earlier days. Esther told us she had followed her profession, as it was the cleanest on the market. The next morning we arrived in Chicago. George Serfass took our trunks. It seemed that he was bustling baggage to keep in trim for the All-American Eleven. Outside the station a man and a lady were holding a heated argument. The man was our classmate Robert Mattison, who evidently wanted a Warehouse that the lady, Hannah Chadwick, owned. She used it to store up energy and hot air for future use, and he wanted it for cattle. Next we set out for Waco, Texas. Here we hoped to see the West as it is. We did see a cowboy and a cowgirl, who proved to be joe Lagus and Nan Higgins, but they were advertising only a brand of soft drink. We decided we would try their suggestion, and, lo and behold !-Sylvan Diamond was the barkeeper. We left Texas and entered the metropolis of Coyote, New Mexico. This is near an Indian Reservation. The agent here was Gerald Jacoby. He surely made those Indians mark time! One little person we mistook for a squaw was none other than Catherine Zacko, who sold tobacco to the Indians and visitors. We took a stage across the desert. On the way we were attacked by two bandits. They were both girls, and after they had taken my watch and our money, the smaller of the two began, Let's give a 2-4-6-8 for the travelers! Come on, now! Let's go! Thereupon, I recognized Sophie Friedman. She unmasked and introduced her friend, Evelyn Hoke, after which she repentantly returned our belongings. When we reached the Grand Canyon the first sight that met our eyes was that of John Beisel about to jump over the edge because his pet corporation had failed. VVe convinced him that there were others just as good, and then followed our little guide. This guide was Leslie Seaman, who, in spite of his size, could surely spin wonderfully long yarns about the canyon. We then went to Los Angeles to see the Santa Barbara Mission. Here was Robert Hoke parading around in a long black gown and cowl. We were walking back to the hotel when a car pulled up beside us, and Mary Dirschedl, who had won her way to the silver screen by rolling her eyes, and Max Havison, who had done the same with the aid of a patent reducing system and a facial Page forty-nine z iv' I ' N N f U pail .L f ff M' -,. i'.:Q2f ' f H'-...-1: 2 43 Q -32 5.4-flf.f.eaf2 N f i s -W I .i 'i A -- sy :ii il- 13 .Jw J 1' 1- 4. gay h3,35g,m1,gr',57,, :,,m,.,,L.

They invited us to their studio to join the movies, but our screen tests were not successful, so we didn't stay. V We proceeded to San Francisco where we engaged our passage to Honolulu through a very obliging lady whom, when we first saw her, we recognized as Ruth Beck. On the docks there we saw Lester Schuyler lifting a trunk five times his size, to the deck of a steamer. On our trip we met Princess Riz . Helen VVertley had married an Italian nobleman whose name neither we nor she herself could pro- nounce. Much to our surprise, Polly the parrot was not seasick at all. Our time at Honolulu was short, but we managed to see three more of our class- mates there. James Day was the advertising agent for a cocoanut firm, and llflary Burgan had become the ll-la Governor of Hawaii. But the crowning glory was Marie Powers who had given up aesthetic dancing to devote her time to Hawaiian dancing under a Hawaiian moon. I When we landed in Japan we solemnly agreed to ride in 'rickshas only, so we climbed into a beautiful red and gold one. The runner helped us in, and something in his voice told us that it was Henry Esterly. ,Through him we learned that Mary Werez was the most successful missionary in Japan. We crossed Japan by train to a little town named Komatsu, where we bought a rowboat from Emanuel Cohen. He intended to charge us 550.00 for the boat, but because he was so glad to see us, his old classmates, he charged us only 554999. ,He volunteered to get us a helmsman and a rower. When we came to disembark we found out that the helmsman wasn't a man, but a woman. She was Margaret Cunningham. The rower was also a loyal member of the class of ISO, Anthony Cerulla. When we reached Shanghai we were very glad to step from our boat. We were sick of staying in such cramped quarters. The first thing of importance that we did was to find a buyer for our boat which we would now have no use for. As we were strolling through the streets thinking of the nearness of the fighting to this neutral city, we noticed a man with a determined look on his physiognomy hurrying toward us, apparently going toward the docks. When he got nearer we noticed something familiar about him. VVe were right, it was Karl Deibler making with all speed for the nearest boat out of China, as he told us. When we told him of our boat he willingly con- sented to purchase it. A steamer would not leave for his destination before a week. That was one load taken from our minds. The next person we visited was the American Consul for information about certain things. Here we received another surprise, for the Consul was none other than Carl Reith who willingly consented to do whatever he could for us. We told him we should like to travel through China. After much persuasion about how we could take care of ourselves, he finally Wrote out passports for us, accompanied by many warnings. We received much information about the territory we were to visit from a nurse who had just returned for it. It may enlighten you to know the nurse's name was lllartha Blew. She had at last fulfilled her aspirations. We next decided that the only way to cross China was by railroad. The station agentf told us we would have to take pot luck and get on a supply train. This man puzzled us because he could speak English. VVe finally guessed that it was Charlie Guers. He had changed very much. The next supply train that passed received us as two more passengers. The other passengers were Chinese soldiers and a few adven- turous marines from our own U. S. There was one especially who attracted our atten- tion. This alleged marine appeared slightly girlish, so we edged closer to get a better scrutiny. When we managed to catch his eye, we motioned him to join us. Upon our asking who he was, he hesitated, then answered that he was not a man, but a Page Jiffy , H X --fr -f A ., , A M KZ' MMI.-M',,...w ff ' fi ,,,'mfM 'ii iff, ei: 2-4 N 'es--eg A fy -ssl?

This shock was enough, but when we were told that she was Arwilda Laurence we nearly rolled off our seat on a packing case. She also informed us that Frank De Francesco was on the train. As we progressed to the front lines, the soldiers and marines left disembarked with the supplies, and some refugees boarded the train. This particular train made a wide detour and travelled through Russia. Before we crossed the border a terrifying incident occurred. The train stopped very suddenly, and we were confronted by bandits who ordered all to stand up and allow themselves to be searched or else shot. When the chief came around to us we noticed a familiar face beneath his beard. He was Robert Fleigel, who consented readily to pass us'by. He was attracted by my parrot, but did not take her, much to my relief. His accomplice happened to be Harold Leininger, and another fierce-looking individual in a large hat was Richard Rees. Our train finally got under way again, and we arrived at Nij Udinsk, Siberia, without further incident. Here we left the train because we were informed that it went no farther. It was a regrettable state of affairs. To continue our journey was the next question. All the while we were standing on the station platform. We finally determined to ask the first person we met what sort of transportation there was to be had. As two men were standing on the platform not far from us, we Walked up to them and plied our questions. Say, your faces look familiar! Where do you come from ? When we told them Pottsville, Pa., U. S. A. they pulled off their trick beards, and there stood junior james and Malcolm Berret. They assured us that a caravan left next day, and they were assistants to the leader who was none other than that famous sheik james Hoke. It was an interesting journey across the desert, but never- theless, we were glad to alight from our camels at Agra, India. They made us seasick. At Agra, as we wanted to see the Taj Mahal, we hunted for a guide. We were rewarded by seeing a booth advertising the very person for whom We were looking, with a very oriental-looking woman in charge. After we had engaged her we found, to our surprise and delight, that it was Emily Albanese with an extra coat of sun- burn. She told us she was just starting to work at this position. When We arrived at the entrance to the grounds, we were accosed by the guard. Where do you think you're going ? he challenged. VVhere's your guide P I am the guide, said Emily, surprised. VVhy, I've been on this job for ten years. Well, what in the name of - if it isn't some old friends from P. H. S., cried our old friend, Edwin Minnich. Pass on. In the famous building we were surprised once more to find Bessie Blacker at her favorite indoor sport, sketching the temple. From Agra we journeyed to Bhopal, also in India, to see the famous Begum, the last woman monarch with much authority. VVonder among wonders! It was Adele Brenner, up to her old tricks. There she was surrounded by attendants among whom were Jean Artz, Dorothy Spence and Catharine Bright. Next we Went to Khelat, Baluchistan, by mule train because the leader just hap- pened to be Truxton Williams, and one of the guards, a very stately fellow, by name Herbert Zimmerman. Crossing the mountains which separated us from our next stopping point was no easy task. To add to our troubles, we saw a fierce, native man and an equally fierce native woman, or so they appeared, riding toward us. Nothing happened, however, because they were Francis Bosche and Isabelle Doublestein. Soon afterwards we arrived at Shah lsmali, Afghanistan. From here our next hop was to Yedz, Persia, where we looked for something new to happen. It happened soon enough when we entered an ancient-looking opera house. There we espied two dancers all decked out in glass jewels, tin ornaments and long Page ffty-one 'r ' X , M sf 'S f fe f ' 'N pg:-2 fliers..

A lady next to us told us that they were the famous dancers, Gwendolyn Laudeman and Catharine Holt. We left Ydez after a short stay and traveled to Tabriz, still in Persia. This city is famed far and wide for its beautiful rugs. One of the chief designers Was Mildred Dando, who said her best assistants were Helen Conway and Ruth Diamond. Next We went to Bagdad to see the city of the Arabian Nights. We were very anxious to see a real harem, and a friend told us that Arthur Messersmith ran an exhibition harem for his curious American friends, at the Palace Theatre. So we Went, and lo! up on the stage dancing and singing like regular Ziegfield stars were Anna Gross, Catharine Goetz, Charlotte Heinbach and Catharine Lightcap. We then wanted to see a real sheik and picked Shekih as our destination. VVe saw one, too. He captured us and took us home. His slave, Walla-Walla, happened to be Mary Margaret Shore, and his right-hand man Oregon was Howard Yost. When the Sheik appeared at dinner after shaving, we beheld still another of our comrades, John Seitzinger. We, of course, had to see Jerusalem, and there we found Alice Weiner inciting a campaign against Hot-Dog-Stands. From Jerusalem we went to Cairo and, through VVillfam May, we arranged a tour to Giza. At Giza we thoroughly explored the pyramids, and upon reaching the Sphinx noted a black spot on its nose. The black spot disappeared and soon came down on our side of the Sphinx in the shape of George Boone and his able assistant, Muriel Lloyd. The ever-curious George had been trying to find out how the Sphinx blew his nose. We then left by camel for Mariahelfgwhere we were met by Harold Schablein. He had arranged for our passage on the new Capetown to Cairo Railroad, for he was the ticket agent, and so we had luxurious first-class apartments. On our Way a lady passed through selling Wrigley's chewing gum and peanuts. We decided that she was an American, and upon investigation she proved to be Isabel Yerkas. At Kazingula, Central Africa, we got off to see the renowned Victoria Falls. Here we learned that a certain Albert Pacenta, Pottsvillian, had successfully gone over the falls in a barrel the previous day. We called on him to offer congratulations and renew our acquaintance. Then on to Kimberly. Here, through the influence of another of our classmates, Herbert Saltzer, who was manager of the works, we visited those famed mines. From Kimberley to Capetown We then traveled. Here we took the boat and about halfway across the Gulf of Quinia I discovered that I had lost the valuable diamond fonly three small faults in itj that Herbert had handed me at Kimberley. We went to the purser who was none other than Robert Moser, whom We recognized by a sign over his office. He aided us greatly, and I recovered my precious diamond. We left the ship at Bingerville on the Ivory Coast, intending to stay ashore only till the ship left. But we were disappointed. When We returned to the dock to board the ship, there was no ship to board. We asked a likely looking tar what had happened, and he replied that she had put out about an hour ago. Now We were in a predicament. VVe were still in a daze when Victor Taminosky came strolling along and told us his caravan was leaving in a few hours, bound for the Northern Coast of Africa, across the Sahara. Saved once more, we accepted his invitation to join it. On this caravan we met George Gross and Frances Illoyer, who had just returned from Africa's interior after a fruitless search for the missing link Ccuff linkj. We said farewell to the caravan at Fez, Morocco. There we met a very gloomy man indeed. His name was Robert Mootz. He had been a maker of Fez-caps, but was put out of business when the Page ffty-two rr Q H Qkavza? ,. ff .Wg m. - ' W-,3'i. 1' A 7 JI'-Mfjm Mg. , ,,Q a..j'x.,A.

He brightened up a bit, however, when we suggested that he turn his F ez-caps upside down, attach a handle and sell them for sand buckets at Atlantic City. From Fez We traveled a short distance to the Strait of Gibraltar, where we went the English Channel swimmers one better by swimming across to Europe in company with Evelyn Yaisle. At Gibraltar we met Robert Michel, a trim British officer who aided us in secur- ing transportation to Valencia, Spain. At Valencia We met Mildred Schermer who was practicing Spanish dancing. She chose Valencia from other cities because she liked the song. We next arrived at Rome and visited some of the ruins. While We were in the Coliseum we met a tourist who was so engrossed with her note book that she nearly bowled us over. You might, or might not, guess that this personage Was Sara Snyder. She said she wondered how the people ever lived in such fallen-down houses. From Rome We Went to Venice, where the streets are navigated by motor-boats and gondolas, instead of Hivvers. But give us a flivver every time in preference to a gondola. One ride was enough. Every other minute we were pushed aside by a spluttering motor-boat. One consolation-there was another who shared our disappointment. She was Catharine Marrah. This former classmate vowed she would Write to Mussoll'ni that very day asking him to drain off all the Water from the streets. They were so unsanitary. Our next port of entry was Athens. This city was also a pitfiall to our feet. We could not speak a word of Greek. But, as usual, we were saved in a very coincidental manner. We grew so hungry that we managed to put aside our fears and entered a restaurant. We were anticipating how very hard it was about to be for us to order something. But our Waitress was an American girl, a student who was learning Greek. She had large tortoise-shell-rimmed glasses and appeared wild enough to devour any kind of books, Greek or otherwise. This learned-looking person was and is Catherine Scherzinger. . Constantinople followed Athens in our itinerary. The Turks have changed much since women's suffrage has gained a footing. At the present time we found Laura Royds leading a rebellion against long skirts, unpainted faces and long hair. This just goes to show how much the women appreciate the favors already bestowed upon them in Turkey. Give them a bite, and they Want the whole apple. We then Went to Rostof by our boat and saw a great many peasants at work in the grain fields. We continued on to Moscow, and while there met a lady hurrying along with a newspaper package under her arm. lt was Julia Farquhar who was now a Russian Princess. The Bolsheviks had attacked her palace, and the package was her crown jewels. We gave her our dear parrot, as she seemed rather lonesome. At Helsingfors in Finland, the land of ten thousand lakes, we met Augusta Dohn Who was busily counting the lakes to see if there really were ten thousand of them. From there We went to Stockholm. In one big building we saw a sign Chas. Rieley. .Boss. Upon inquiry it developed that Charles was the 'Boss' of a silver mine and supplied the silver for the numerals of the class of 30. In Copenhagen we found lVIarion Dresher at the head of a dye factory. She was sort of partner to Charles Rieley, as she supplied the Copenhagen blue. At Berlin we met Catharine Reddington dispensing beer and pretzels at a garden party. She told us that our husky friend, Lillian Williams, had just climbed the Jungfrau in record time, beating John D. Rockefeller by 4f5 of a second.

VVilliam loaned her a nickel, and in two days she was Worth three million dollars. Then she Went home. In Paris we climbed the Eifel Tower and met Marion Taminosky up there taking pictures. We took the airplane route to London, and who do you suppose was our pilot- Frances Rohrer! She told us how to reach Mildred McKnight in London. There we found Mildred preparing for her presentation at court. We went up to Edinburgh, Scotland, to see the Wonderful scenery and also to photograph the famous Holyrood Palace. After we had taken all the Views of the palace that we could on one side, we walked around to the other. There we saw a cemetery with astonishing small tombstones. VVe had begun to think that all we had heard about the Scotchman's tightness was coming true, when We espied a sign that read, Cat and Dog Cemetery, and at the same time ha girl who Was mourning over a mound. She informed us that her pet cat had swallowed her best jade ring before she died, and she hadn't the nerve to dig it up. We left Edinburgh the following night and arrived at Dublin, Ireland, the emerald isle. Here we bought some green ribbon from Anna Thompson to remind us of the days when we were green, green Freshmen. Shortly afterward we crossed back to Liverpool so we could take the boat for South America. When we inquired at the docks about what time the next ship left we were informed that one Was bound for our destination in three days. We accordingly hunted for a hotel and deposited our luggage so that we could tour the city. We had gone no farther than a few doors from our hotel when we passed a store which advertised lf it's American, it's here. We immediately raided the place. As there was a restaurant included, we decided to try good old U. S. food once more. The aroma of hotcakes from the usual open hotcake stove was so pleasant that We sat down nearby. When we were able to get a closer scrutiny of the girl who was flapping the cakes we found, to our delight, that she was Grace Welker. VVhen she recognized us she was so bewildered that an extra large pancake she was flipping was left unheeded in midair and came down upon her head. Those three days in Liverpool passed very quickly, and we were in good spirits when we stepped aboard the ship bound for Buenos Aires. The journey across was uneventful, as we didn't even see sign of a storm. At our destination we, as usual, went prying around to see what new thing We could dig up. Of course, we visited the great refrigerating plant, where enough juicy beef steaks, in the form of cattle, are stored to feed an army. It was while touring this establishment that we heard loud cries of entreaty issuing from a side cooling room. Our guide immediately unlocked the door and out tumbled Norman Pugh. He told us he had been on ice for several hours and felt rather cool toward the management. From Buenos Aires we went to Sao Paulo, the great coffee market. Here we found Virginia Smith and Clarissa Prifer sorting coffee. They declared they would never again drink a cup of coffee without voicing their contempt for the insignificant coffee bean. It was only a day's journey from Sao Paulo to Para, Brazil, and we decided to see how the rubber industry was progressing. Near that famous city we visited a rubber plantation. While we were being shown around we came across a young man cutting slivers of bark from a rubber tree and examining them with a microscope. This man we saw at a glance was Daniel Deibler. When we asked him what he was Page ffty-four 1 -1.4:--W fra-T--. ,f i' ' T T' A w-gl... i all-yy:..,.

Our next stop was at Cayenne, city of pepper. We had some doubts as to whether we should visit a pepper factory, but we overcame our fears and hunted for one. We had not long to hunt, so we Were soon on our way through. Nobody was sneezing, much to our amazement, but we finally concluded 'that they must be used to it. At one of the sorting machines We saw Helen Picus. She was not exactly used to the pepper and once in a while she sneezed. She was careful, however, to avert her head from the piles of newly sorted pepper so as not to blow it around the room. But she was much surprised upon beholding us, and she sneezed straight into a large pile. About a pound of the stuff got into our noses, and we went into a Ht of the profoundest ker-chooing. , When we had enough of the pepper industry, We Went to Bogota. In the emerald mines we met Maud Koch and Martha Rees hunting for those precious stones. They had much influence in that region, so it was through them that we received a large emerald apiece. Good fortune, I would call it. When they arrived back in the States they said they would start a jewelry store and asked us about values. We told them what we knew. From Bogota we Went to Cuzco, famous for the silver of the Incas and also for the mines of the present day. There lllarion Gibson conveniently supplied us with some excellent silver, and we immediately had our emeralds set in silver mountings. At last we arrived at Valparaiso, Chili. If you made use of your geography you will know that it ships nitrate, but whether you made use of it or not, your geography book would not have told you that Rita Leddy held the nitrate monopoly there. Here ended our stay in South America. We were sorry to leave 3 but leave we finally did for the Panama Canal. We boarded our boat and sailed up through the Canal. Since our boat Was British, we had to pay, and Inez Hodgert collected the toll. After several more days on the Water We at last anchored at New York. We were met at the dock by Margaret Schlitzer and Ella Staller, who were private secretaries to J. P. Morgan and VV ill Rogers, respectively. ' After a few days spent in getting used to the United States again we Went to Niagara to see how the Falls compared with Victoria. We liked our own better. When we told Richard Reihle, who was there, about Albert Pacenta he was not to be outdone- so he jumped over the falls and came up smiling-also unhurt. We then left for home. At Pottsville we were met by friends and relatives, all anxious to hear of our classmates. We decided that the words of our old song Alma Mater were right when we sang 'It matters not where e'er we be After we leave old High, for we had found friends and classmates in nearly every place we visited, all around the globe. Though Benjamin Franklin said, United we stand, divided we fall, the class of 30 has continued to stand although its members are scattered to the ends of the earth.

Under these conditions the Commercial students hardly, if ever, showed their colors. In the year of 1926 the Commercial students separated themselves from the ranks of Sophomores and were classed as Senior Commercials. We soon held a meeting and elected officers, with Josephine Witman as President for the first semester. One of our first appearances was at a class party held- at the Hollyroof with the junior Commercial students present and chaperoned by the Misses Betz, Holfmaster, Long and Mr. Knowles, with Professor and Mrs. Moser as our guests, along with Mr. Bailey, of the Hollywood. The next event that received our attention was sports, both by the girls and boys of the class. The boys who were keen on football played with the Sophomore class. The girls organized a basketball team and progressed under the coaching of Miss Long. They played some out-of-town games, as well as those of the other classes of the school. The boys organized a basketball team and elected Howard Smith as their captain. Soon the Christmas holidays came and, with the junior Commercial class, we pre- sented a Christmas pageant. The first semester ended, we held ea class meeting and elected officers for the second semester, with Preston Wineland as President and Clarence Bohler as Class Historian. During the second semester the girls organized a baseball team. The boys who were baseball enthusiasts again played with the honored Sophs. Most all of us are entering the business World, with the exception of a few, Who are entering music schools and higher business schools. And since all books must have an ending, so our school days end with happy and cherished memories of our school life, as we enter into the school of life. Page ffty-.fix 'T' . RW if 4 wall.

Skinny's main ambition in life is to get a Hbitl' thinner. Skinny expects to become a typist for a prominent business firm of the town. Best of luck. ESTHER BANKES Tall, fat and expects to become forty. Esther is another of the champion Ulightweightsn of the class. She is one of the best basketball players on the Commercial team. Esther is an all-around good girl, except for one thing, and that is her incessant talking. Theclass of 27 wish her a most successful future. CLEO BEACH 0l1! You sandy beach. We do not know what beach Cleols ancestors hailed fiom, but every one of the opposite sex say that Cleo Beach certainly is a peach. Cleo seems very popular with the mails fmalesl, as she gets at least two letters a day, and they are all from one person. What is the attractiong are you learning to fry ice cream? PAUL BERNARD lVai!fd on Madam? This is one of Paul's favorite expressions, as he is a 'fClerk in the Reed Stores. Paul is also one of those boys who can be classed as a favorite of the opposite sex. Paul expects to become manager of one of the Reed Stores in the future. The class wishes him the best of luck. ELIZABETH BEVAN Liz'l is the most talkative person of the classg she even talked while being photographed. Elizabeth is also very fond of sweets, especially chewing gum, sour pickles and boys. We expect to see Liz as the Hoflicial taster for Heintz's famed sour pickles. Best of luck in your sweet chosen profession. EMMA BOECKER Emma is the only girl in the class who is not always talking and bothering about the other person's affairs. Seems strange, doesn't it? But it is true, for she is always seen hard at work fwith her school workj, we wonder? The class wish her the best of luck. Page fifty-se-vel: y N A .-A -mm, 'ffl v ' 1 .f Q , ,,. CLARENCE BOHLER Mac believes in hard study and is rewarded by his place on the honor roll. Clarence certainly has an exquisite wave. Does his mother curl his hair? Mac is our class historian. Is it going to be autoes or radios, lKMaCU? ISABELLE BOSCHE Shel: here, I heard her giggle. Isabelle is a perennial giggler, which might lead a superficial observer to think that she is a bit simple, but the careful analyst can see that this giggle phase of her nature is just one of a well- balanced many-sided make-up. Isabelle is one of the brilliant girls of the class. We certainly hope she will keep up her good work when she gets out into the cruel world. JOSEPH CAMPION ' A'-Ioeu is a short boy, short of stature, but not short of 'gabf' Hoe surely holds his own in this line and in shorthand. We exepct to see joe as a stenographer for a leading busi- ness firm, and our only fear for him is that he will out-talk his employer. MARGARET CERULLO Margaret, the most studious girl of the class, can always be seen studying. She likes to study so much that she carries a high school subject besides her commercial subjects. We hope Margaret will be as conscientious in the business world as she is in school. CARL COLEMAN The Fritz Kreisler of the clam. Abe shows his talents with the violin by playing in the school's most distinguished symphony orchestra. 'tAbe is very witty. His wit sometimes gets him into very hot arguments with 'fLillian. We hope to see AbeI' some day as a director of a great orchestra. PEARL DAVIS She's little, but slze'.v fwise, She's a terror for her size. Pearl certainly is a terror for her size, but in a different sense. She is a terror in bookkeeping and shorthand. Pearl is very quiet and always has a smile for everybody. . She has not yet told us her ambition, but the class of 27 extends their best Wishes to her. Page fifty-eight I -,.,-as-149' ... ' ' . ,,.--we fm., X A l ra, .

She favors the lady who dances to the click of the castanets and the whirr of the shawl, who is no other than the Spanish Dancer. Julia is very talkative, she doing most of her talking in law class. She expects to become a stenographer in the future. Best of luck. DOROTHY DIMMERLING lVa-vy hair, tfwinkling eyes, fl natural fwit, fwe idolize. Here we have the natural wit of the class. Dot shows her ability in landing whatever she starts by making the varsity basketball team and winning her boy friend's heart ? We are sure that if he gets Honey for his wife the restau- rants will surely go bankrupt. Best of luck, Dot, as a future housekeeper. - 'N LORETTA DROBEL She doe.m't .ray much-but just get her staffed! just get her started, and she would talk the leg off a wooden horse. Loretta doesn't only talk, for she is an all-around good scholar. We do not know any of her future air-castles, but we wish her luck. HELEN DRY Helen is just the opposite of why gentlemen prefer blondes, as she is a decided brunette, who is most sedate in her ways. Helen is very quiet and seems to be shy on the opposite sex, but will she always be this way? The class wish her a most successful future. EVONA ECKERT Another reason shy gentlemen prefer blondes. Evona is another of the host of blondes of the class., She has blonde hair, a fair complexion and dreamy eyes, which we all idolize. We have not heard any of her future intentions, but we wish her a future as bright and light as her hair. MARGARET ELISON A girl that is good and true, Ilfithout her I fwonder :what -we would do. Margaret is very quiet and reserved and is also a lover of all fun and gaiety. Margaret paved the way for honor pupils of the Commercial Department by being the first commercial student on the honor roll. We are sure that Margaret will in the future fulfill her position in a worthy manner. Page ffty-nine Am'if X sw. 'Xi .. Vg.-NL Q. , . MILDRED FEGLEY This lass likes to drafw and write Things that hll us with delight. Mil is a great artist who spends most of her time drawing. She seems to be a quiet and shy girl, but you can never tell a book by its cover. Mildred's pleasing personality will 'win her a place in everybody's heart, as it did in joe's.l' LEO FERRIS lVatfh the birdie! Leo is a great photographer ?. He has a thriving business. His most profitable customer being Mr, P. Bernard. Leo is also famed for his speeches, which he makes in English class 'i?. We expect to see Leo as one of the city's prominent photog- raghers. Best of luck. ELIZABETH FETTERMAN A Elizabeth is another of the perennial gigglers of the class. It seems to be second-nature of some girls. She is also a great gum-chewer and a great reader, as she likes to read her short- hand notes ?. We have not heard what she expects to do, but the class wish her the best of luck. CATHERINE GAFFNEY Oh! Those eyes! 'lKitty certainly has wicked eyes, and she certainly knows how to roll them. Catherine is a great piano player. She shows her talent at the piano by playing in the school orchestra. l'Kitty expects to go to a music school after she leaves school. The class wish her the best of luck. CATHERINE GERBER Her air, her manner, all fwho safw admired. This is the dignihed girl of the class. Catherine makes up for most all the rest of the girls. She is one of the quiet girls of the class, maybe it is because she talks so low that we never know when she is talking. Catherine has not told us what she intends to do, but we are sure she will make a success out of her life. FRANCIS GOTTSCHALL Uppie is a great mathematician' ?. He is very accurate when it comes to 'ladditionf' for he is well versed in the use of the Adding Machine. Francis certainly can be called speedy in bookkeeping, for he is always miles ahead of the rest of the class. If he keeps on with this good work, We know he will succeed. Page sixty - J s,.r- fm.: Wx uf- I' . . . -, -.' ,-' . 4 ,if-nwvf 111 Nt JAMES GREENWOOD Sets he in his study nook W'ith his elbofw on his book. Jimmie can always be seen with an English book under his arm. We think he wants to be different from the rest of the class by choosing English as his favorite subject. We do not know whether Hjimmieu will be an authority on Business English, but we hope to find him on top of any ladder he may choose to climb. BERTHA GRIFFITHS IVhen speaking of fellofws, She knofws them all. ' Bert knows them all, fat and thin ones, to those big and small. But why shouldn't she, look where she wo:-Ice, She works at a lunch counter. 'fBert can be classed as one of the quiet girls of the class UP, in some only. We know that she will make a good wife for Jesse, as she certainly can cook. MARION GROSS Marion is one of the most difficult girls of the class in describ- ing as she is very quiet and seldom, if ever, is seen up to any mischief. Wherever Mildred Roberts is seen you can rest assured that Marion is near at hand, as Mildred and Marion are like the Siamese Twins. The class wishes her the most successful future. HILDA HARVEY A fair cheek, a sfweet smile IVuuld make a man fwalk u mile. Hilda certainly lives up to these lines by making a certain young man walk a mile out of his way to take her home from the class-party. Hilda is a great basketball player and displays her ability on the commercial team as side-center. Hilda has not told us what she expects to do when she leaves school, but the class wishes her the best of luck. ELEANOR HESS For she is just the quiet kind, W'hose nature newer fvariesf' Eleanor is very quiet and shy. She hardly, if ever, talks during classes. She is also a good scholar and generally always has her lessons studied before she reaches her classrooms. Eleanor may not always be so quiet and shy-who knows? We wish her the best of luck in all her undertakings. BEATRICE HUGHES If there is music she danees, If there are men she praneesf' Bee is another of the flappers of the class. Bee seems very interested in newspaper men, especially those on the force of Hi-S-Potts. Beatrice had a yearning for Tamaqua once upon a time, but we never hear her talk of this big town now? We know Bee will fulfill whatever she undertakes in a worthy manner. Page sixty-one K. M' N K ,ff-JE Ili? 4: fi 'f 'L f K E. f a - Q . . fm' . ,.

Miles is a typist of par-excellence, and we hope he retains this good quality all through his life. MELVIN MOSSER Here fwe hafve one of many hoys, W'ho lowex to play -with Irinleets and toys. Melvin likes to play with the ink-wells. 'fGoose, you had better look out for ink is a very dirty play-toy. We hear that Melvin intends to be either a movie manager or a toy-maker in the future. We know that whatever he takes as his profession that he will make a success. MILDRED PETRIE Mildred is one of the many blondes of the class who is very fond of the opposite sex. Mildred is also a great baseball player. She has not told us what she intends to do, but the classes wish her: A husband, both gallant and true, Proud of himself, but prouder of you. EMMA REBER Fall from a tree, fall from abo-ve, But nefver, newer fall in love. Emma is all those lines signify, a confirmed man-hater. Emma is a faithful scholar and always ready with a helping hand for the Y. W. C. A. When Emma is not hard at work with her studies she can always be seen with a baby in her arms. We know she will make a most efhcient child's nurse in later year. HAZEL ROBERTS I lorve to tease them, And lea-ve them in a rage. That's her, the champeen teaser of the class. Hazel must take a special course in talking, for she certainly holds her own in that line. We have not heard what Hazel intends to do when she leaves school, but we know she will make good in anything she under- takes, as she has a winning personality. MILDRED ROBERTS A friend in need is a friend indeed. Mildred certainly upholds the meaning of those few words, for she certainly will help everyone, even if it puts her to a whole lot of trouble. We expect to see Mildred as somebody's stenog for a prom- inent business firm. Page sixty-I-wo M. -. f- .. fe 'x t , ' X a .-..v.

Dollie can hardly wait till the end of the term, for then she is to get a promotion where she is now employed. Best of luck. CATHERINE SCHEIBELHUT Catherine seems to be very shy on the opposite sex, as she is never seen talking or flirting with the boys of the class. She says she is too busy for such foolishness. - The class hopes she Will be as interested in her work when she leaves school as she is in doing her school work. ALMA SMITH Hofw dreary and lonely this fworld -would appear, If maids like Alma did not appear. The world certainly would be dreary and dull without Alma around, for her head is as light as the sun. We have not heard of any of Alma's intentions after leaving school, but the class wishes her a bright future. HOWARD SMITH -, Noi one of Cupid? darts Has pierced his nor his maiderfs heart. We wonder whether the above statement is true? It hardly seems so, but then we can't have things too conspicuous. Howard is captain of the boys' commercial basketball team, and he is worthy of the honor. We know that in the future Howard will make a good pro- vider for Doris, for, as the old saying goes, 4'Where there's a will, there's a way. RUTH SMITH A face more fair, a voice more sfweel, Ne'er has lt been our lol to meet. Ruth is the prima donna of the class. She recently made her debut in the f'Grand Store's Opera Company. Ruth expects to finish her career as a great opera singer, and we know she will succeed, if she does not get tangled up in the matrimonial wires of one of our future electricians. EDITH SNYDER A very low fuoice has she. Edith has a very low voice, but she keeps on talking, even though she has to talk in a whisper sometimes. She is also one of the bookkeeping sharks, running tie with Bertha Tucci. We will see her as a bookkeeper, and we know she will make the grade. Page sixty-three ff , f' 5'-. GLADYS STEIDLE So let us be jolly and east afway folly, For grief turns such a head as this to gray. Permit the introduction of one of the most happy-go-lucky girls of the class. Gladys is in for all sport and fun. She plays on the commercial basketball team. Glady is also a great movie fan, she spending all her money sending for the stars' pictures. Do you expect the t'mails to pick a good-looking 'tmale for you, Gladys? Best of luck. BERTHA TUCCI A quiet kind of girl Of whom it may be said Has something more than nonsense Stored up fwithin her head. Bertha is always the same, never known to break any of the rules and regulations of the school. She studies early and late. A distinguished gentleman of the school has said that Bertha would make a wonderful bookkeeper. We do not know whether she will continue with bookkeeping as her profession, but we wish her luck. ALMA WEBER She danced her fway to his heart. Here is the greatest toe-dancer that ever graced the halls of P. H. S. Alma is a great talker. She does most of her talking in the halls with P, Alma expects to finish her career as a dancer, and we know she will rival Pavlowa. Alma keeps her sylph-like figure by indulging in basketball. HELEN WEISS She likes to ra-'ue and rant, To keep from talking she simply can't. Helen is one of the 'tstout girls of the class. Her main ambi- tion being to get as thin as her inseparable friend Emily. We are sure that if she exercises her body as she does her mouth she will lose ten pounds daily. If Helen works with as much enthusiasm as she plays side- center she will succeed in any undertaking. JEANETTE WILLIAMS Speed is great, but silence is greater. Jeanette certainly is the silent member of the class. She is both small and quiet and sometimes so quiet that we hardly know she is in our presence. Jeanette is Lillian Gish's only rival, and we expect to see her as a double for Lillian. We, the class of 'f27, wish her the best of luck. PRESTON W. WINELAND Pep is the president of the class, and since his election he has become the busiest and most important commercial student in the school. Pep hopes to run one of the elevators in the Masonic Building ???, but we think he would do better as a stenographer, as he has had some experience in this kind of work.

We expect to see Jo as a stenographer, and we know she will fill the position in a most worthy manner. , EMILY ZEIGLER Shelf sfweet, and .rhe': neat and attractive and petite. Take a look! Doesn't Emily live up to those few words? Emily is so quiet in school that Mr. Knowles gets a cold every other week from the draught of her talking in class.

Elias Asaif likes school, he comes for a half day and is absent a whole day. Harry Atkinson is a quiet boy when he is not speaking. But when he talks it sounds like a clap of thunder. Lester Bair will die when he can no longer tease anyone. Miriam Baker, Ruth Derr and Mildred Dietrich form the eternal triangle. Elizabeth Bast is very fond of her dishesg that is the reason she delays in doing . them., Harry Boyer never worries about sleep when a radio is nigh. Gladys Brinich, Silence gives consent. Laura Brower will be a wonderful little typist if 'she continues the good work. Gladys Brown and Elizabeth Charlton are belles of the Commercial Department, although you never hear them ring. e A George Candee, I say, folks, look who is here, one of our prominent Commercial members. Catherine Carlisle: ' , F ull of fun and mischief too, Doing, things she shouldn't do. Elizabeth Caruso may be a renowned vocalist too some day.

S. vs. Schuyl X 4 4 i X f ft i gd S. It lPE r rigLi g H ug.. S.. FOOTBALL The prospects for a successful season in 1926 looked quite promising for P. H. S., as Reed, Robbins, O'Reilly, Pacenta, Goul, Bell, Shore, Dengler, Cole and Buckley had returned from last year's squad. These fellows formed the nucleus of the team, and it was indeed a well-balanced team that played its first game against Schuylkill Haven at the new West VVoods Athletic Field on September 25. P. H. S. had no difhculty in winning, as the game ended with a score of 37-O. However, Schuylkill Haven protested the presence of O'Reilly and Robbins in the line-up. The game was played, but the P. I. A. A. Board later decided that the game did not count. The ruling of the board not only made Robbins ineligible to play, but also Shore, Dengler, Kaplan, Joe Holahan and Greenhalgh. This left practically a green squad to play the remaining games, some of which were against the fastest teams in Eastern Pennsylvania. As a result, the season was a disastrous one for P. H. S., since they lost all the remaining games. This was not due to lack of interest or effort on the part of the players, as they worked with incessant pains to give the best that was in them. The chief fault lay in the fact that our lads were inexperienced. In order that P. H. S. would never again meet such conditions, a new idea was instituted. .that of having class teams. Accordingly, the different classes called for candidates and formed teams, which played through a regular schedule. The purpose of class teams was to teach unknowing fellows the fundamentals of football, to develop them physically and to bring to light any player who already could play well enough for the varsity squad. They served their purpose so well that the class team method was used in other sports this year and will continue to be used in future years. The second game of the season was played at Steelton. Here the boys met a team which proved to be the champions of Pennsylvania. They had a fast heavy team, but that did not stop our boys from putting up a plucky battle. Reed starred for P. H. S. with several long gains, but even these were insufficient to put us on the scoring column. The game came to a close with the score standing 35-0. Coaldale, our bitter rival, was the next attraction on our home grounds. The game was hard fought, but showed true sportsmanship throughout. P. H. S. was defeated in spite of the fact that a marked improvement was noticed in its defensive play and aerial attack. Bell, Pacenta and O'Reilly blocked many attempts at the line, while Zacko, playing substitute half, showed the prettiest bit of tackling of the afternoon. The following Saturday the team traveled to Sunbury and were given the Worst licking of the season. In the first half Sunbury used straight line plays and were unsuccessful in scoring, as our line was fully capable of turning back their rushes. However, the blue and white lads used a different method of attack in the last half. They threw forward passes and ran end-runs with remarkable accuracy. The whistle blew after Sunbury had piled up a 59-0 victory. Page .fr-vrfnty-ive 'hrfasaffrf . -- -lwg' t be gi.: i ' ' e f f N aff arise . . X After a lay-off of a week the team met Mt. Carmel and sustained its fourth defeat. The field was full of rocks, which sorely bruised our lads and made the game an aerial battle. As usual, Pottsville was on the losing end. In this game a triple pass, one of the rarest plays in football, was pulled off for a neat gain by Gould, Reed and Martz. Zacko also figured in a few long passes. The sixth of November found our team playing York. We met our customary fate after a hard battle against a more experienced team. The game was unusually hard fought, as we held them to 6-0 in the first half. The end of the third quarter still found the score 6-0, but then came the crash. Our boys were weakened by the valiant stand they had made in the Hrst three quarters, and the York team was able to score 31 points to our nothing. The next game was played at Allentown. The field was soft and soggy, thus making it hard to get going. Allentown had a big heavy team, and it was but natural that they were able to plow through our line for repeated gains. Our team played hard but was forced into defeat by the steady charge of the Dutch team. Reed and Gould starred with several long runs. The eighth game of the season, with Tamaqua High School, was played at West Woods on one of the coldest days of the season. In spite of the cold weather, several hundred fans witnessed the game. The team gave a good account of itself and made the more experienced Tamaqua team extend itself to win, 13-0. The final game of the season was played with Minersville High School at the M. A. A. Park on the morning of Thanksgiving Day. It was a real cold day, and the game started as soon as the Pottsville team got on the field, so our team was sorely handicapped from the beginning. Our lone score came after Fitzpatrick caught a forward pass and ran twenty yards for a touchdown. The tabulated results of the season follows: P. H. S.

HARRY i'DICKER REED Dicker as captain of this year's team was one of the fastest backs in the county. His line-bucking, passing and receiving of passes was excellent, but at times he was not given the support he should have had. He was a good captain and always fought hardest for the success of the team. This is Harry's third year of varsity football. He will be back to strengthen next year's team. CHARLES HCHUCKH GOULD Chuck is captain-elect of next year's team. He filled the quarter position and backed up the line in A-1 style. He was a good tackler, a fast end-runner and an all-around steady player. Chuck starred in the Mt. Carmel and Sunbury games. This was his second year of football. We hope Charlie will have a champion team next year. ' THOMAS BUCK OYREILLY At centre Bucko was a tower of strength, both on the defense and offense. He used not only his strength but his head as well and did much to instill a fighting spirit into the whole team. Bucko was out nearly half the season with an injury to his knee, but came back strong in the Minersville game. His breaking up of passes helped to hold down many of the scores. I DANIEL TUsco PACENTA Dan is another one of our two-year men. He played a heady game at tackle and could always be relied upon to give all he had. His strength and fine tackling proved to be valuable in more ways than one. We hope Dan will stick to football when he goes away to school next year, for we know he will succeed. ROBERT HIRONMANU BELL Bob played a snappy game at guard. Although he was one of the heaviest men on the team he was also one of the fastest. Ironman was a hard player and lent much strength to the team. His playing at Allentown was especially fine. This was Bob's second year of varsity football, but he will be back next year to make the prospects look brighter. V RICHARD IIREDY, HOLAHAN Dick hails from Mt. Laffee, but that doesn't detract from his ability as a football player. An Irishman, he was fighting every minute of the game. Red was a flashy back and never failed to gain whenever he carried the ball. When given a broken field, few opponents could stop him. We expect great things of Red next year.

I - P A r JOSEPH UFITZU FITZPATRICK Fitz is another one of our fighting Irish. He played left end and was the ideal man for that position. Joe is a good tackler and exceptional interferer and can break up or receive passes as good as anyone. Fitz was the lone scorer for P. H. S. in the Minersville game, when he carried a pass over the opponent's goal line. LEONARD KKNICKH NICHOLAS Nick put in a successful season at guard. He was a fast heavy man and a stone- wall on defense. YVhen the season first opened Nick thought a football Was some kind of a dance, but by reporting faithfully to practice he developed into a valuable lineman. Len could stop anything from a mountain lion to a tornado.. He starred in the Sunbury game. V CHARLES NGUNNERH HAY Gunner fitted in nicely at tackle and played hard in every game. It always took a crack to make Bud play, but the crack usually came and then things did hum. Gunner starred in several games but seemed to have played best against Schuylkill Haven and Coaldale. Unfortunately, Bud twill be ineligible for next year's team under the P. I. A. A. rules. XVILLIAM BILL MARTZ Bill filled the right wing position. He was a fast dangerous man and an excellent interferer. He was also adept at breaking up passes. Bill starred in the Tamaqua game when he successively completed three of Dicker Reed's passes for an average gain of ten yards. Adonis will be one of the mainstays on the 1927 team. WILLIAM Rose FLANNERY Bucko is the fellow the fans called that pretty blushing chap,',' but opponents know him as the tough hombref, Rose was a hard clean player and played the game according to Hoyle. However, as this is his last year in P. H. S., his ability and the experience gained in the games this year will not be available to next year's team. ELSWORTH HCOLEYH COLE Coley played his first game for P. H. S. this year and made a good showing. What he lacked in weight he made up in speed. El was a real end-runner and could buck the line besides running back punts in clever style. His side-stepping and shifting fooled opponents at all times. Coley will be back next year. PHILIP HFLOPU ZACKO Farina took all honors in the backfield. Although handicapped by weight, Phil showed his true fighting spirit in every game. He was a deadly tackler and won for himself the name of Flop. He is a born football player, but says that is natural, as his brother runs a sporting goods store. Phil will be lost to next year's team. Page seventy-eight , ,S ,, 41 '1?.,N i'2sf... ...W g L , ,J P34 'r 1-2-'iff'1fii'l..gg.144151, Sl , N- -za, . if 1-f aff .PK aa If -...ww YY?

He played a roving centre and backed up the line as good as any of the backfield. Clem was also a whiz at, breaking up passes and could handle the ball like a professional. His best game was played at York. Buck will be back again next year. SUBSTITUTES , The record of the 1926 football season would not be complete without a word of appreciation of the plucky boys who constituted the Scrub team. The faithful manner in which they turned out to provide opposition to the varsity team at practice deserves particular commendation. To O'Hara, Moore, Lloyd, Serfass, Seiders, Lein- inger, A. Pacenta, Boyle, Gressang, VVachter and Sheridan the student body extends sincere appreciation and thanks. It also expresses the hope 'that all may make the grade for a varsity team before leaving P. H. S. CoAcH WILLIAM STEVENS Coach Bill gave his best efforts to develop a first-class team out of the material with which he had to work. While his endeavors were not successful in producing a winn'ng team, he, nevertheless, instilled a fighting spirit into all the players as well as the spirit of true sportsmanship and fair play. He won the respect and earnest co-operation of the players and student body. VVe hope the future may bring to him a large measure of success as a coach. r - ARTHUR Noose NUss Noose, as manager, was the only success of this year's football season. He not only managed the team efficiently, but kept up the fighting spirit as well. Every member of the team will remember him for his encouraging works and his cheerful dsposition when things were going wrong. Art pulled the finances out of a hole by holding fiery mass meetings and keeping the students alive. Surely his undying effort to produce a winning team classes him as one of the best managers P. H. S. has ever had. Page seventy-nine 'i swf, i A . 1 1215 i 4, A 1 , X ' X i N 5- - F ...- . ffvirgy .211-esfic 1 ix I :ugh-ffQ,'TT' ,VjL,L,giflGLi ,W f' .... A X V l X 1 1 4' .

With this start, candidates were called about the first week in December. Fully sixty boys reported to the first practice, held at the Armory, and the basketball season was on. Coach Stevens made his selection of the varsity squad, while the others were told to go out for their respective class teams, from which they would be taken if they should show any promise. On VVednesday, December 15, we played our first game with Tamaqua. Although we won by the score of 27-17, there were a great deal of flaws in the team, which was composed mostly of non-experienced men. In our first league tilt we met Coatesville on the seventeenth and Norristown on the eighteenth. We lost both games by the respective scores of 33-17 and 44-24, but it must be remembered that both these schools had veteran teams. Before the Christmas holidays we journeyed into Berks County to play Reading. They had a fast-stepping combination and severely trounced us by a count of 57-13. We were beginning to show the results of non-experience. The first game of the new year was against Allentown at the Armory., This tussle was fast and furious, and our rooters were sure we would have the game, but the gods of victory smiled upon our opponents, and we went down in defeat fighting gamely. The final tally read 30-23. The team's next jaunt was up to Nesquehoning, where we met their squad on the eighth of January. Again We lostg this time by the score of 27-19. We do not wish to alibi or excuse ourselves, but it must truthfully be said that it was our off night, while Nesquehoning had struck a winning streak. They certainly deserved to Win. According to our schedule we were next pitted against Coaldale High on our home floor. lNIuch to our surprise and more to theirs, they nosed us out 24-18. The game was slow and badly played. january 14 found the team on Bethlehem's home floor. Although We dropped to the count of 46-18, the score by no means gives any idea of the hard fight we put up. It was one of our best-played games thus far. This was our third league game which we had played, and had lost all three. We next played Danville at home and surprised the townfolks by winning. This game was fast and furious, marked especially by fine passing. VVhen the final whistle blew the score stood 18-16. Easton was the next league attraction. At this time it was a fight between Easton and Pottsville for last place, and it was expected that our boys would win. But Fate is fickle, and Easton turned the tables, leading us by the score of 14-11. Page eighty-one LT L, jf 0-,,,..-flj,v'5W',wu?' ' ei ,-- ,f U 1.

Nevertheless, our team managed to get to Allentown, where they played one of their best games of the season. It was a real thriller and brought the fans down from the gallery. The scorebook tabulated a 36-28 defeat. Then came the game with our former Coach Rogawicz's team, and the Wanamie lads went home elated over a 32-17 victory. This was Captain Buck O'Rei1ly's last game for P. H. S. on account of the eight semester rule. Buck always played hard, and, if afterwards he was able, he was out to practice almost every night with other men such as Robbins, Dengler, Holahan, McCormick and Shore. Pottsville High can be congratulated upon the spirit of these, both graduates and under-graduates. On the fifth of February We met Pottstown on our home fioor, but little did we know of the trouncing awaiting us.' The blue and white lads ran over the crimson and white like a cyclone, handing us a terrible lacing. The fray ended with the score at 54-27. The second time we played Nesquehoning we got revenge for the defeat which they had handed to us earlier in the season. We set them back 34-17. The team next set their guns for Danville, but their boys were master of the situa- tion and registered a 33-21 victory. The Bethlehem game was the big event of the season. It was hotly contested with the score see-sawing first one way then the other. At the end of the fourth quarter the score was a tie and necessitated an extra five-minute period. The boys from the steel town proved to be the luckier of the two and won, 43-41. ln this game Dicker,' Reed's ankle was badly sprained, but he came back and played a whirlwind game. On February 25 the team cast anchor for Pottstown. At the end of the first half We were leading by a few points, but in the last half Wentzel and Elliott, the Potts- town stars, played rings around us. The blowing of the final whistle again found us forced down in defeat, score 38-26. We then played Coatesville and dropped another league game by the score of 30-25. Our last league game brought us against Easton. When we arrived there we were surprised to see the small crowd. But just to show them that it could be done we won our first and only league game, score 33-30. On Friday, March 18 we went to Tamaqua, where everything seemed to go wrong. They defeated us to the tune of 41-11. Johnny Niece, a Sophomore, showed nice form, considering the fact that it was his first game. On March 19 we played our last game at home with Phoenixville and won, 26-19. It sure was a funny feeling, but it felt good. Phoenixville had a wonderful one- Page eighty-two , -V-,LIN ,.,,, f.

FRANK JOE FISHER Frank besides playing his first year of varsity ball also captained the team. He played a hard dashing game at guard and earned for himself the respect of opponents, fans and the student body. Frank was not a shooting player, but when he did shoot they usually registered. His brilliant passing and fine footwork Went a long way towards making the team what it was. Frank will be lost to the 1927 squad. THOMAS BUcK,' O'RE1LLY Buck was a fast forward, but due to a ruling of the P. I. A. A. was unable to play the last half of the season. He was an expert shooter and led the team in scoring for the first half. Buck may be complimented on the fine sportsmanship he showed by continuing to come out and help coach the rest of the squad. It was mainly through his efforts that the Alumni game was played. HARRY KKDICKERH REED Dicker, lanky centre, was high scorer for the season. He was a good shooter, a fine dribbler and an all around hard player. Dicker out-jumped nearly every centre he met and was picked by several as the all-scholastic pivot-man in the Eastern Pennsylvania lnterscholastic League. This was Harry's second year of varsity ball, and as he is but a Junior he has one more year to play. ARTHUR Noose NUss Art was another Senior who played his first year of varsity ball. Last year Noose was a mainstay on the championship Junior team, and with this experience proved to be a valuable asset to the varsity. Art was used as a Utility man, playing forward, guard and centre. Due to the fact that Art is a Senior he will be missing from the ranks when the roll call of the 1927 season is called. CHARLES HCHUCKH GOULD The fans who watched Chuck,' play never knew what happened when he took the ball because he Was so fast. Chuck may have tried for new records in dashing down the floor, but his speed and excellent dribbling gave many of our scores a boost. Gould reminds us of the swift Huey Cantwell, of the 1925 team. Both are men who could capably fill a position on any college team. CAPT.-ELECT ROBERT HIRONMANH BELL Rob fought for his position as guard and held it by fighting. The first half of the season he was a sub, but by hard and faithful plugging he won for himself a position on the varsity. The Ironman is a Junior this year and will be back next year to fill his old position at guard. Page eighty-four , xu . mf T 1 - . '-ir 335.

LIGHTSTONE, Manager At the close of the last track season prospects for a successful season in 1927 were not very bright. With the exception of Sterner, all the members of the relay team were lost by graduation, and many other valuable men in the field events were also lost. And to make matters look still darker it looked as if Prof. F. Murray would no longer be at the head of track in P. H. S. For seventeen years Prof. lVIurray had successfully coached the track teams in old P. H. S. without receiving any reward for his labors. For various reasons he resigned as coach at middle of last year's season. This was a great blow to track activities, and although last year's season was completed quite successfully the outlook for this year in track, without Prof. Murray, looked dark indeed. As the opening of the school drew near an announcement which brought joy to the hearts of the followers of our track teams appeared in the newspapers. The School Board had finally given recognition to Prof. lllurray, and he signed a contract to coach our track team once more. Soon after New Year's Day thecall Went out for track candidates. Over fifty men reported for the first few practices. Beside Sterner of last year's team, Martz, first substitute of last year's team, was the only other experienced man. Besides this call for track men another call for field men to report every Saturday at the Y. M. C. A. was issued. The result of this call was also gratifying. After the first few weeks of indoor practice the working squads diminished in numbers until there were about twenty men in each squad left. Among the track men Sterner, Rol Edwards, Martz, Lloyd and Hoffman soon stood out above the rest in the quarter-mile. VVhile John Gaughn and Boyle looked like prospects for the mile. Besides looking well as a quarter-miler Bill Martz also looked good as a half-miler. Among the field men Bob Bell, Tom Matthews, Dave Frie and Dicker Reed appeared as likely men for the shot-put, Bob Reed, Charlie Lotz, and Harry Ubil in the high-jump also looked promising. In the broad-jump Lotz, Matthew, Candee and a few more soon were forging ahead of all competition. In the pole vault Johnny Yaag's closest competitor was Andy Hoke. Johnny was developing quite well during the indoor season. With. the close of the basketball season Dicker Reed, Gould, Lagus and quite a few other men reported for track. Reed, Gould and Lagus looked like likely men for the sprints and will doubtlessly be used in the County Track and Field Meet. During the indoor season Sterner, lliartz, Edwards, Lloyd and Hoffman were making good time. Martz, besides developing into a quarter-miler, was breaking the half-mile record time after time, while Sterner, although not equaling Carlin's record time for the quarter, really was not very much slower than that. Lloyd was the find the season, as this was his first year out for track, and his time was equal to the best Page eighty-.warn --- .... we-M . -1 T?

The balance of the squad consisted of quarter-milers--Sam Jones, R. Serfass, G. Marsden and Hummel, milers--Gressang, Walter Jones and E. Kunkel 3 high jumpers-Nuss and Nicholas, and another pole-vaulter in young Johnny Beisel, who is only a freshman this year but looks like good material for future years if he con- tinues to work faithfully. Near the close of March Prof. lVIurray took the men outdoors. The track men went down to the Fair Grounds, while the field men practiced at the Twelfth Street grounds. The track at the Fair Grounds at the start of practice was harrowed and was consequently not in the best condition for the men to run on, but they did the best they could under such circumstances. The weather was anything but favorable. If it did not rain it was very cold, and if it became a little warmer a strong wind would handicap the runners. But in spite of all this the runners, including the relay men, were rounding into shape satisfactorily. Sterner, Martz, Lloyd, Edwards and Hoffman, the five relay men, were running their quarter-mile in fast time, and the difference between the fastest and slowest time was only a fraction of a second. Prospects for a winning relay team were very bright, and it was expected that once more would a P. H. S. relay team capture first place in the Penn Relays at Franklin Field. Friday, April 29, the team left for Philadelphia. The party was composed of Captain Sterner, Martz, Edwards, Lloyd, Hoffman, Prof. lllurray, coach 3 Manager Light- stone and Assistant lllanager Paul Matthews. The team made established headquarters at the Central Y. lll. C. A. at Philadelphia and after lunching went to Franklin Field to see some of the Friday events. After competition was at an end on Franklin Field the team warmed up, getting the feel of the track, and ran a 220-yard in quite fast time. After this the men all had supper and came back to the Y. M. C. A., Where they were rubbed downl' and were told to go to bed, which they did. A Saturday dawned cloudy and threatening with rain. While the team was out for a walk a light drizzle began to fall and continued, becoming heavier all the time. By the time the team was ready to leave for Franklin Field the rain was pouring down without any visible signs of slackening. The track was very slippery, and the footing was treacherous. At 1:00 o'clock our event was called, and Captain Sterner, our lead-off man, lined up with the rest of the men in our event, at the start. VVe drew fourth position from the pole. At thestart of the race Pete jumped the gun and was therefore penalized one yard. When the race started with Pete in this position and he tried to get the pole he found that he had been caught in a pocket and was forced to hold back until he reached the back stretch. At that time he was near the end of the line of runners. Pete then began to try to make up some of his lost ground and was gradually doing Page eighty-eight -rye --... 'wtf' .

When he handed the baton to Edwards he was in third place and about 12 yards behind the first man. Although Edwards is a light man and was at disadvantage on this sort of wet track, he nevertheless took the baton and ran a fair race, holding his own with the rest of the men, or, perhaps, losing a yard or two. When Martz took the baton from Edwards he was over-anxious and tried to make up all the lost ground in the first 220 yards. Indeed, he Went into second place and was crowding the leading Battin runner in the early part of the race, but coming in the home stretch the pace began to tell on him, and the best he could do was to send Lloyd off in fourth place with about 18 yards of a handicap. Lloyd ran a beautiful race and demonstrated that he was from 10 to 12 yards faster than any other anchor man in the race. Coming in the home stretch he uncorked a fine sprint and Went into third place, in which position he finished, only a stride behind the Woodbury man who was in second place and about 5 yards behind the winning Battin man. Had the race been 30 yards longer we believe the results would have been altogether different. This is the fifth consecutive year that our relay teams have brought medals back from the Penn Relays. After what was expected of this year's team the result was indeed a great disap- pointment to all concerned, but that was just the beginning of the season, and the team will have some more chances to show that it is really as good as we think it is, and that we can depend on every man to give the best that is in him. On May 7 the relay team leaves for Scranton to participate in the Scranton relays. The team is going there with the determination to fight and will do all that is pos- sible to bring the cup to P. H. S. On the same day the balance of the squad will leave for Coaldale to participate in the Coaldale Meet, and although it is unlikely that they will win there with the men on the relay team absent, the school feels that they will certainly do the most that it is within their ability to bring as much credit to our high school as possible. The final event on our track program will be the County Track and Field llfleet. This year, beside Tamaqua, who beat us by a half a point last year and who has a veteran team with the exception of one man, we will have as' our opposition such strong teams as Coaldale, Shenandoah, Mahanoy City and Schuylkill Haven. We have an inexperienced team, and victory is not very certain, but we feel certain that whether we win or lose our team will certainly put up a valiant fight. 3' Page eighty-nine 114.

GIRLS' VARSITY BASKETBALL TEAM HELEN ROBBINS, Manager Like the end of a perfect day the girls' basketball season ended with an established record. At the beginning there were only two Letter Girls remaining from former years, namely, Helen Robbins and Mary,Dimmerling. However, Miss Hutchinson soon found some valuable material. The team that represented P. H. S. the first game consisted of Mary Dimmerling, centreg Grace Higgins, side centre, Helen Robbins, forward, Dorothy Dimmerling, forward, Martha Millington, guard, and Ella Nora Pickle, guard. It was with deep regret that after the first few games we lost our guard, Martha Millington, who was suffering a growth in her neck. It did not take long to find a fine substitute because Helen Campbell proved to be right there. PERSONALS Mary Dimmerling, captain of the team, was one of the best players P. H. S. has known. In the role of captain she was very efficient. P. H. S. can well be proud of such a centre. Although Mary will not return to P. H. S. next year we hope to see Mary in action as the captain of one of our college teams. We wish you success, Mary! Grace Higgins, as is well known, was our side centre. Grace's high jumping proved a great asset to her, and through it she was able to obtain the majority of Mary's tap-offs. Grace has been elected captain for next year's team. May she lead her team to the great success she so ably helped to bring about this season. Helen Robbins, manager can well be said one of the best players P. H. S. has ever had. As manager Helen filled her oflice quite well. In leading the scoring of the team's points she summed up the grand total of 170, which she can well be proud of. To Helen belongs much credit for the team's accomplishments. Her work as forward, guard and manager was highly satisfactory, and we are sorry to see her leave. Dorothy Dimmerling always played a good game at forward. Dot and Helen worked together like sisters, and it was through their hard work that many of our victories were pulled f'out of the fire. Although Dot was absent from several games, her playing while at her post was so great that she worked herself in second place standing. Dot will not return next year, and we know it will be hard to find another like her. Ella Nora Pickle was of great value to the team. She played exceedingly well in the Hazleton game. Her work at guard was remarkable and well appreciated. Ella Nora, we are sorry to say, will not return next year. Page ninety-one -. J... -'.. ,vmxv v .A s. sa Qtr.. f 1 N Jin.

Helen will return next year and a great deal is expected of her. Marquarite Portland played side centre very Well and could play a good game at forward when called upon. VVe can count upon Marguarite doing her bit next year. To Miss Hutchinson the team wish to express their thanks, for she worked with them incessantly. 1 December 15-Tamaqua ..

BASEBALL About mid-term the Athletic Association held a meeting where it was decided that baseball should be classed as a minor sport and that this year only intra-mural baseball should be played instead of inter-school baseball. Consequently, the various classes formed teams, of which the Juniors were the champions. Due to no varsity baseball this year, the Juniors got most of the varsity ball players of last year. However, Cole who was an outfielder of some repute last year developed into a star pitcher for the Juniors. Moreover, it was his batting that also greatly aided his teammates. The Seniors who were champions in football and basketball relinquish their title in baseball to the Juniors.

This Council, although not endowed with the power that such other bodies manifest, functioned with a great deal of zest and vim through- out the entire year. The Student Cabinet directed the high school section of the parade in which they participated last fall and won a prize. Among the other duties were the maintenance of a library, the inspection of the building and the keeping of a record of all events of interest at high school this year. The plan to elect members to the Cabinet was this: The Seniors were to elect four representativesg the Juniors were allowed threeg the Sophomores were to have two representatives, and the Freshmen, Senior Commercial and Junior Commercial were each allowed one. Those elected by the Senior Club were Mary Dimmerling, Lois Michael, Ronald Lewis and Ray Serfass. Nlarguarite Portland, Betty Lidy and Jesse Gray were elected to represent the Juniors. Dorothy Knoll and Wynn Morgan were elected by the Sophomores. The lone representatives of Freshmen, Senior Commercial and Junior Commercial classes were Carl Reith, Clarence Bohler and George Marsden, respectively. These people comprised the Student Cabinet. They then elected as their ollicers for the ensuing year Ray Serfass, Presidentg Jesse Gray, Vice-President, and Marguerite Portland, Secretary. Although not much importance was attached to the Student Cabinet in future years it will become a body which must be recognized by the students. On the picture there appears only eleven students, whereas there are twelve mem- bers. Jesse Gray is the missing member. I - C Page ninety-:ewn N'-M-N-r.,.g,K,:.

Moser and Professor Franklin L. Hoke, a semi-monthly publication, Hi-S-Potts, was finallyipresented to the student body on December 23, 1926. It was immediately evident after the initial bow of the paper that its size was entirely inadequate for the needs of the Pottsville High School, and, accordingly, after the Christmas holidays the paper was enlarged to the size commonly used by high schools and colleges for thir publications. Since then the paper has become twice as attractive in appearance and content through the efforts of a progressive staff and advisor. Herrwood E. Hobbs was elected editor-in-chief of Hi-S-Potts, and Betty Lidy and Jesse H. Gray were elected assistant editors. The other members of the staff are: Earnest Zukauskas, Goldye Rosenzweig, W. K. Miller, H. Blake Hobbs, Leonard Nicholas, Sylvia Eber, Charles Hummel, Paul Matthews, Janet Aikman, Mary Stayman, Wesley Gordon, Klein Krimmel, and the special writers, William Bowler, M. S. Morgan, Ronald Lewis, Norman Lloyd and Beatrice Hughes., A One of the high-lights of the publication was the excellent work of the special writers QUnited Syndicatej, whose articles always ranked among the best for orig- inality and humor. Hi-S-Potts filled the needs of the high school very well in every respect and deserves the support of not only the student body, but of the alumni and townspeople as well. Hi-S-Potts conducted numerous contests during the year, and the recipients of the valuable prizes offered for competition expressed themselves as being delighted with the pleasures afforded them during such contests. Undoubtedly next year will see a similar policy followed by the new editor. Altogether, Hi-S-Potts has enjoyed the good will and support of the school and attributes its success to strict adherence to their motto: May this be our motto and keep it in view, To always give credit where credit is due.

VValker, Pastor of the Second Presbyterian Church, is Leader, and Mr. Eugene A. Long is the Faculty Advisor. The Hi-Y Club has met weekly since September 8, 1926 and has enjoyed many interesting and helpful discussions under the leadership of Rev. Walker and Mr. Long. Among the activities were several very enjoyable co-ed parties under the direction of Arthur Brower and Marlin Morgan, a get-acquainted party for the incoming Frosh, a visitation to the Grammar School, at which time they strongly urged, by well-delivered addresses, the continuing of the education of the grade school boys and girls. The Hi-Y basketball team enjoyed a very successful season, winning 13 of the 15 games played. The personnel of the team included Stuart Madenford, Captain John Niece and Burton Howell as forwards, Herrwood Hobbs and William Martz at centre, while Marlin Morgan, VVilliam Flannery, Edward Kunkel and James Greenwood took care of the guard positions. Mr. A. J. Zimmermann, coach. The members of the Hi-Y Club are: SENIORS-Marlin Morgan, William Flannery, Frank Fisher, Daniel Pacenta, Norman Lloyd, Herrwood Hobbs, Samuel jones.

Scientific Society The average man's conception of science is a conglomerated mass of formulas amassed in books which can be read by men possessing high foreheads and many honorary degrees. His idea of a laboratory is a mass of bent tubes, all kinds of beakers, oddly shaped bottles and all kinds of paraphernalia. To the initiated science is no more than a fascinating game. The Scientific Society,was organized to aid pupils in their difficulties arising in the different branches of science. It required the VVorld VVar to show the world that science is no plaything. Science is the basis of every modern business. There is political science, science of economics, scientific methods of teaching. In fact, everything is now reduced to a science. The society so far has been mostly a joke, but it is new and takes time to get it going. With a membership reduced to six, actual experimenting will be possible. The programs consisted mainly of discussions, but the society members will in the future visit the industries of the city. WM. SONES, President.

Under the baton of Mr. Robert lVlcDonald, former Boston Symphony man and one who has had years of experience with school orchestras, this organization has reached the point of perfection. Every instrument blends well, and the tonal color obtained by these musicians is something unheard of in public school music. These students are the cream of Pottsville High musicians. Their successes have been many, and they look forward to the next season when many new members will be welcomed. Many instru- ments will be added, and lucky are those who will be given the opportunity to study them. This is the largest school orchestra in this part of the State, with the exception of the Hazleton Orchestra. They have played at all the larger school functions, and the brass section of the orchestra constituted the band which led the parades in the great school loan campaign. The school appreciates this orchestra to the extent that whenever they give a concert there is a great demand for seats from the student body. Full credit must be given to the Parent-Teachers Association who financially backed the orchestra. It was through their untiring efforts that the finances of the orchestra were put on a stable basis. Day by day the general public is coming to realize the value of public school music. Besides developing a love for real music it gives the student an opportunity of expressing himself or herself through the medium of a musical instrument. School authorities everywhere are admitting that music is a vital factor in education. From the City of Detroit comes this statement from Frank Cody, Superintendent of Schools, Detroit, Michigan. He says in part: Music is an essential part of the core of'our curricula -both in the elementary and higher schools. There is nothing which we can teach which has a more humanizing and uplifting influence. In addition to the general value of the study of music for all pupils, our music departments have established advanced courses upon a vocational basis. These classes are among the most interesting and valuable of our projects in the field of vocational education. This orchestra may prove to be an inspiration to other high schools in this region, so that in a few years great music festivals can be promoted with success. The great symphony orchestras of to-morrow will contain the public school musicians of to-day. The majority of the musicians of the Pottsville High orchestra are under-class people, so that together with the many grade school musicians coming in a well-balanced ensemble is guaranteed for the next two years. Each member gives his best, and the best will come back to them in the form of better playing and valuable experience. Taking all in all it is a start that will lead us to better things. Not many years hence there will be a band in this our school, together with many other forms of musical activities which will be a blessing to this school, and when that time comes let us never forget the labors of the founders of the orchestra, the Parent-Teachers Association.

W w The Senior Orchestra of 1927 The Orchestra of 1927 is one of which we can be justly proud. It has furnished music and entertainment for this class throughout its high school career. This orchestra has never refused a request to provide entertainment if it was at all possible for them to perform. All the experience gained in the three years will culminate in our Senior year with a grande finale. VVhen the Seniors go to Washington, D. C., the orchestra of Class 1927 will play in the hotel at which they stay. - THE SENIOR ORCHESTRA or 1927 The following men compose the orchestra: Name Instrument Wm. K. llfliller, 'Leader .... ........ V iolin Samuel Jones, hlanager .... .... P iano Thomas Matthews. ...... .... V iolin Emanuel Diamond .... ....... T raps Carl W.

He's a nice boy. Somebody told us his favorite selection is I Love You. We don't know her name, but the initials are Emma l And Baron Jones. It isn't Barren, either. We wonder when Sam had time to collect all the jokes he knows and still do his Daily Dozen on the piano. Tommy llflatthews is our prize Sleepy Head Cwhen the rest of the Senior Class is absentj. But did you ever see a particularly sleepy look on Tommy's face? He's wondering what he will do next to torment Lotz. - Manny Diamond is one of the many taxi drovers whom students of P. H. S. patronize. And, apropos of nothing in particular, he certainly can play the traps. Bud Banks Loves the College Girls, but, then, who doesn't? Bud synco- pates on the Sax. A Fritz Stofiler is one of our prize Senior sheiks, a regular collar-ad for some firm when he is discovered. ' ' Kenny Reeves fell F or My Sweetheart and, to date, has not recovered. Baby F ace Lotz, our prize story-teller fwhichever way you look at itj, is one of the big problems of our class. He says he is girl-shy, but-we doubt it. Joe Fisher, also known as Schubert.', Frank is one of the best all-round Seniors. A good athlete and student, he is probably the most popular man with both sexes. And, so, we have finished the history of the 1927 Orchestra. We hope the under- classes will care to develop orchestras that will improve from year to year as this orchestra has done.

For on Twelfth Street Heights in Memory Hall, Is ringing the thrill of a nation's cally ' And never a wonder that everyone Will whisper the name of Washington. And presently, borne on the music's beat, Comes stealing the tap of dancing feet, And the silent spirits of long ago . Billow and curtsey on heel and toe. . For the fairest maids, when the land was young, And the bell from Old South Church had rung, Are peeping out from the blonde and jet, And swinging free in the Minuet. And the men who went from the tap of feet To the tap of drum, intense and fleet, Are casting their rosy shadows down And wearing patterns of old renown. Oh, Memory Hall ne'er seemed so dear, For something with trembling wings is here. -Mr. Frank Moser. Page one hundred eleven N' ll N 71 H ,ITS U . Af '4 . Q -M N W wa s SOCIAL M. .T-..... THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION DANCE On December 29, 1926, the Athletic Association Dance was held at the Holly Garden. This affair proved to be one of the biggest social successes promoted by Pottsville High School students in many years. It was particularly enjoyable this year because of the fact that last year we were unable to present to the people of Pottsville the combination Christmas Party, Alumni Dance and Athletic Association Dance which the event of this year proved to be. I The Christmas spirit was embodied in the decorations of the hall. Four beautiful evergreen trees, trimmed with small, colored, electric bulbs, occupied, respectively, each corner of the dance floor. Red and green crepe paper festoons draped the walls and ceiling. To complete the lovely Christmas background, girls Hitted here and there like many animated dolls. Good music Was furnished by Allen Quirk's Keith Circuit Orchestra. Girls from the underclasses, dressed in the school colors, crimson and white, served very dainty refreshments. Our appreciation must be extended to the' hard-Working committees through whose efforts the dance was a success and also to the patronesses who were: Mrs. Frank Moser, Mrs. T. R. Daddow, Mrs. Otto F arquhar, Mrs. Louis Eber, Mrs. Herman Beck, lNIrs. Louis Holstein, lVIrs. C. A. Breiner, lVIrs. Dreshman, Mrs. Howard Hobbs, Mrs. VVilliam Long, lkirs. George Boone, Mrs. George Mootz, Mrs. Frank Buck, lllrs. Ray Serfass, Mrs. Harry Miller, Mrs. Alice Foster, Mrs. John Raring, Mrs. George Schott, Mrs. A. C.

Freedman, Mrs. Whitman, Mrs. Baker, Mrs. Fisher, Mrs. Willard LeVan, Mrs. Bell, Mrs. Norman Beisel, Miss Dorothy Critz, Mrs. Eugene Long, Mrs. L. C. Hargey and Mrs. George Kaier. THE JUNIOR DANCE Last year, when the Class of 1927 was a Junior Class, it tried to promote a Junior Prom. We are sorry to say that it never materialized. This year, however, the ever- peppy Juniors came to the front with plans for a class hop to be given on April 22, 1927, at the Holly Garden, in honor of the Class of 1927. The Seniors were quite Hattered. The dance was a great success, not only as a social treat, but also as a pleasant instrument with which to break up the slightly bitter rivalry between the two classes. i Page one hundrzd tfwelwe A N Jehu' h .A -'f?1? ',, WS- , ., 7'-.--.,.' f' ,, N amd W . ...wry-1 is-a...X +.x...,gX About five hundred invitations were sent out to members of the Alumni and friends of the school, many of whom attended the dance. To quote Mr. Herrwood Hobbs, editor of H i-S-Potts, May this be our motto, and keep it in view, To always give credit where credit is due,,' we wish to thank the committee and patronesses who devoted their time and efforts to making this dance a success and to thank particularly Miss Florence Short for being the promoter of every commendable Junior movement. In the last few years Pottsville High School has been in the ascendency in the field of dramatics. Talent has been profuse and this past year especially has resulted in frequent exhibitions of this dramatic ability. But these were limited to playlets, entertaining sketches and short farces, and we had but two opportunities to show our prodigies to the publicg namely, the play for the benefit of the Athletic Association, You and I, and the Senior play, Just Out of College. YOU AND I This play was produced on December 11 for the benefit of the Athletic Association and greeted by a large attendance of students and friends. Under the able supervi- sion of Mrs. Stevens the cast had worked untiringly, but, unfortunately some of the characters interrupted the fascinating trend of the action by forgetfulness of their lives, and the play suffered irreparably, despite splendid characterization by the cast in certain parts. However, the cast of You and I deserves the gratitude of the school for nights of long and tedious practice devoted to the .Athletic Association and were responsible for a great increase in funds. Miss Sarah Bast as Ronnie was a charming leading lady and one of the best players in the cast. Miss Mary Kaier capably filled the role of Mrs. White and was very entertaining as the modern young lady assuming the dignity of a mother. Miss Sylvia Eber excelled in her role of Etta, the maid. Miss Eber's excellent acting introduced the humor of the play and received an ovation from the delighted audience. Mr. Paul Matthews as Roderick was entirely in his element. The cheerful young fellow who should conduct himself as befits his age but who enjoys himself more by not is our Roderick, competently acted by Mr. Matthews. Mr. Shore as Mr. White was very imposing as the artistic business man and really looked the part. Mr. Robert Bell as Mr. Warne, the boss of Mr. White, was very competent and deserves special mention for substituting at the last moment. Mr. Smedley as Geoffrey Nicholas, old friend of Mr. White, was another member of the cast who filled his role competently. Page one hundred thirteen 1 4' . N JUST OUT OF COLLEGE This rollicking comedy was produced by the Senior Class on May 27 and proved a success as the final exhibition of the dramatic ability of 27. Through all the years that it has dwelt in Pottsville High the Class of 27 has upheld its pre-eminence in this field by fascinating playlets and sketches, but this was its first and last presenta- tion of notable size. The gifted actors and actresses unravelled the all-absorbing fate of one Edward VVorthington Swinger, just out of college, and engaged to Miss Caroline Pickering, daughter-of Septimus Pickering, the Pickle King. Swinger, devoid of financial support, asks Pickering for twenty thousand dollars to invest as he sees fit, and Pickering, dazed by such self-assurance, assents. The hero uses the money to, finance a rival pickle factory, and events follow with headlong speed. The play is replete with humorous situations which the cast played to perfection. Mr. Robert Jones as Swinger interpreted the leading role as a quiet yet resourceful young man whom fate seems to persist in annoying with ridiculous situations and excelled in them accordingly. The leading female role was played by Miss Anna Brown, who furnished charms enough to satisfy the most fastidious as to the desirability of Miss Caroline Pickering. Mr. Daniel Pacenta as Septimus Pickering was unusually fine. The Pickle King kept the audience in gales of laughter with his pugnacious, go-getting, business methods. Miss Caroline Raring as Mrs. Pickering gave an inimitable picture of a modern wife, and her commanding presence enhanced the role. Miss Anna LeVan as Jones, founder of the Bingo Pickle Company, played her part of a business woman vividly, and her splendid acting was another of the factors that made the production a splendid success. Miss Mary Murtha, the beautiful, haughty stenographer, captivated all who saw her as Miss McCormack. Miss Mary Day supplied the character of Genevieve, intimate friend of Caroline, with vivid and delightful acting. Mr. Frederick Stoflier as Professor Bliss rendered a comical impression of an artistic soul, refused to express himself in anything but polysyllables. Mr. Ronald Lewis as Mason, college chum of Edward, delighted with his breezy conversation and gestures. Mr. VVilliam Flannery showed ability as Bradford, the bookkeeper in love with Miss McCormack. Mr. John Gaughan regaled his audience with the role of Rufus, the oHice boy. Among the minor characters Were: ' Misses Ella Nora Pickel, Martha Graver and Mary Dimmerling, Bingo Girls. Miss Helen Robbins, Lady Traveller. Miss Rebecca Neal, Newstand Girl. Miss Dorothy Foster, Aunt Julia. Mr. George Seiders, a very humorous Train Caller. Mrs. Charles Hummel, a Souvenir Collector. Mr. Frederick Herman, Ticket Seller. Messrs. Nicholas, Rowell and Reeves, Collegians. Mr. Arthur Nuss, Solicitor of Insurance. Mr. Marlin Morgan, Union Delegate. Mr. Elwood Holstein, Book Agent.
