KITTY ACCARDI BETTY ACHENBACH BETHSAIDA ADAMS MYRTLE ADAMS NICHOLAS ANTHONY SVZANNE ANTHONY JOSEPH ATKINSON BETTY BATH IRENE BEACH JOHN E. BECKER CHARLES BEDFORD EDWARD BELL DOROTHY BENSEMAN LOUISE BERGER MARY LO U I SE BEYERLE 1 I17fI IQITTY ACCARDI In our midst there is a girl whom we like to have around because she doesn't seem to indulge in gossip and tale bearing. Kitty certainly does keep her doings to herself, but perhaps she has interests other than in P. H. S. ? ? ? f'Kitty is a splendid person with a lovable disposition, she is seen, but not always heard. BETTY ACHENBACH 'fBetty is always ready to lend a helping hand to someone. She is a very quiet, modest young lady. However, at the right time and place she regains her speech. Her sunny disposition cannot long remain latent and has won for her many lasting and true friends. She is also a fine and conscientious student. BETHSAIDA ADAMS f'Betty is one of the most popular girls in our class. During her stay in school she has set a high standard for herself, which she has always maintained. She has a pleasing personality, seeming quietness, a good sense of humor, athletic and executive ability, and nimble feet-all in all, a versatile girl. Orchids to you, Beth, for the example you have set! MYRTLE ADAMS Though Myrtle is the essence of merriment and hilarity, she can be serious to a certain degree. Of all her various moods, the most characteristic one is that of jollity. She merged herself into the very fiber of school life, emphasizing athletics and organizations to such an extent that she has attained an enshrined position among us. NICHOLAS ANTHONY Little, but oh my! is the best phrase with which to characterize Nick Anthony. He is always ready with a gay Hi-ya or similar salutation and has one of those smiles, necessitated by his keen sense of humor, which never seems to wear off. Keep it, Nickg it will prove a valuable asset. SUZANNE ANTHONY This bit of ever-changing girlhood is Sue, who appeared on the scene at P. H. S. from Minersville for her senior year. One moment she appears serious Cstrangers usually doj. The next moment she is laughing and chattering. She has a sunny nature and pleasing disposition. May she continue to keep her happy outlook on life! JOSEPH ATKINSON What a man! He is no genius, 'but he has that certain thing that commands attention in a big way. The more you see of him, the better you like him. joe is a bit different. It must be the gypsy in him. VVhatever it is, it makes him a very likable young man. BETTY BATH Another blonde? Yes, we hasten to inform you and assure you that at times she complies with the popular conception of one-dizzy. Betty, we must say, just doesn't seem to be cut out for a life as a stenographer. We predict that the air she will walk to will he that famous Lohengrin one. IRENE BEACH Irene is not as reserved as she pretends. WVe who know her better know that she is fun-loving, jolly, and playful. She likes to dream and does not worry about book larnin ' and such stuff. One must prove a true friend if he wants the friendship of Irene. JOHN F. BECKER John is our representative from the commercial section, and a worthy one is he. He is a diligent and steady worker. This plus his enjoyable personality has made him a bright and well-liked scholar. While he has not made himself conspicuous in school affairs, he is, nevertheless, a very loyal supporter. CHARLES BEDFORD Quiet, attentative, and well liked in schoolg friendly, carefree, and well liked outside of school-that's Charlie, His ever-present smile and his gay and witty personality have brought him many and loyal friends. He is a capable and diligent worker who believes in taking things as they came and making the best of them. EDWARD BELL Some fun, no? 'fEddie is our official mischief-maker and joke-thinker-upper. He is fond of girls, and it is in their presence that his best jokes are sprung. He has a way of getting into and out of trouble. Beware, Eddie, love has its manifold dangers. DOR0'l'llX' BENSEMAN ffDottiel That name always conjures a picture of happiness and good cheer. One need not be at the head of the class to be liked, for Dot has quite a few friends. But then Dottie's splendid character accounts for that. She goes along steadily and cheerfully and deserves the good fortune we wish her. LOUISE BERGER Here is one of our most charming Senior girls.-Not onlyazloes she have a delight- ful personality, but she also has combined with it a knack of wearing clothes and a sense of humor that make her stand out above the crowd. Louise's talent lies in her art work-and the art of making friends. MARY LOUISE BEYERLE Hail to thee, blithe spirit! Mary Louise excels in the art of piano play- ing. She is a Hne dancer and has gained quite a reputation as such. She is a beautiful singer, is a member of the musical clubs, and has given of her time freely as an accompanist for them. This peppy gal is also a staunch supporter of all P. H. S. activities. at them Mat tate! RUTH BILLMAN 'fRuthie is steadfast and very dependable. The nicest thing about her is that she is always herself and never puts on airs. Once a friend, always a friend. She has many virtues and is an apt student-the answer to a teacher's prayer. Such a person is bound to prosper. She has the good wishes of her many friends. ADESSA BLACKER Another East Side fiddler! She has lent her loyal support to the Symphony Orchestra during her stay at P. H. S. and has risen to a notable position in the first Violin section. She is also a member of the vocal groups, having shown her decided interest in music. Besides these accomplishments, she is a very industrious student. MELVIN BUUDER We present one of our shop, Melvin Bouder. Outwardly he seems quiet, but don't deceive yourself for he is quite explosive. While he does not have many outstanding activi- ties, what he does he does well. He is a likable, fun-loving chap who tries hard. May he attain his desiresl HELEN BOWEN This happy-go-lucky girl is always scheming some farcial stunt and carrying it out. Her funny gestures and manners have made her very popular about the school and town. We Wonder if she has ever been really serious. VVe hope that her spirit of hilarity may continue to be her chief stock-in-trade. ROY BOWEN Roy is quiet at timesQ?j and invariably in a good humor. His ready smile and willing hand have made many proud to have him as a friend. He is strongly attached to baseball and basketball and has loyally supported the P. H. S. teams through victories and defeats. Roy has also filled the roll of student-when necessity demanded. PIARRY BRECKER 'fYou've gotta be a basketball hero would seem to answer the purpose in this case. Harry appears to have attracted the attention of certain senior girls, and we don't question the reason for this state of affairs. Harry was our basketball captain-a good athlete who pos- sessed a sense of sportsmanship and fair play. JOHN BRENNEMAN jack is one of the more quiet boys in school, but outside they say he's dif- ferent. He is greatly interested in camp-life, horseback riding, swimming, boating, and athletic contests. He is particularly interested in baseball and has been a reputable pitcher of an East Side team. He also claims membership on the P. H. S. track team. GEORGE BRETZ We feel sure that George will be one of our future scientists, chemists, or doctors. He has always shown a great interest for science, even after having been burned about the face with acid when one of his concoctions failed to work. He is a firm believer in the adage that we learn to do by doing, so continue to do, George! HELEN BRIDGE Another BMI These B's seem to possess an attraction, for it seems they all travel together. f'Trussels is one of the best-liked girls of our class. With her sunny disposition, friendly smile, and gay wit, making friends is an easy task for her. Bridget is also quite pop- ular ffrom what we hearj among the so-called Hstrongerl' sex. BETTY BROWER Believe it or not, appearances really are very deceiving. To many of the unini- tiated, HBlu-Blu appears to be a quiet, dainty blonde. However, don't make any mistake about that! In a recent autobiography Betty states that her main hobby and recreation is to ride about our fair country-side admiring the scenery after basketball games f?j. MOLLY BROWN Molly is truly the miracle girl of the class-the only person who is completing the four-year high school course in three. We are duly proud of her. She is exceptionally bright, and nothing but a brilliant future can be seen for such a Miss. Maybe Pennsylvania will have a Congresswoman in years to come. Who knows? NORMAN BROWNMILLER Red hair, freckles, and a smile, and 'fBrownie flashes in your mind. He is a lady's man, always chatting with the girl friends, Maybe it's the red hair or a hidden magnet? His other pastimes are playing basketball and howling. BARBARA BUEHLER Here comes 'fBabs chattering with her special pal, Burnsie, giving us an idea of what an attractive dark-haired Miss is like. Her favorite expression seems to be, 'fHave you seen my 'hunk of heaven'? She is one of our athletically inclined seniors-one with plenty of pep and personality. Hats off to an ardent booster of P. H. S. ROBERT BUEHLER Peanut is the name, originating probably from the fact that he is a model boy in a small shell, the shell being his periods of silence. He's so small that he has to convince everyone he is really a senior by expressing his great knowledge. His height may help him in later years to walk under the difficulties which will confront him. MARY LOUISE BURNS A laugh, a grin, or maybe twinkling toes comes into one's presence, and we have HBurnsie. Personality, plus plenty of pep, make her one of the best-known girls of our Alma Mater. 'fBurnsie' is very much interested in all sports. We Wonder why? When cheering is in order, Mary certainly adds her share to it. eniou 18 4 f N . ' 1 ' l . If ' . ff ' ,, f 1 .

Ruth is the fortunate possessor of beautiful eyes, and does she know how to use them! She is dark and slim and is always in a merry mood, all of which probably accounts for her many friends in all the classes in P. H. S. MARGARET CAKE The lady in red? Yes, one of the best dressed girls in the school. She has a pleasing personality and a winning smile. f'Marg attends all school dances with a prominent basketball player, and on the dance floor they appear to be just a blurred top. May your joy in dancing be unconfined, 'fMarg.'l NIARY CANTWEIJ. Here is a lovely charmer with blonde hair, blue eyes, and dimples. lVlary is a jolly person who is quite oblivious to her surroundings, especially when she is in school. She can step the light fantastic well enough to make many a person envious. Her motto is, Live and laugh while you may. May you hold the key to happiness! WILLIAM CARL Light curly hair, tall, and handsome-that's Bill, Bill is a part-time worker in school, hels here today, home tomorrow. He helps boost business at a local theatre by ushering. A large reward will be given to the person catching HBill with a sad countenance, it just can't be done, and we hope he stays that way, too. RONALD CARTER Ronald is a shop boy studying auto mechanism. It is readily understood why the teachers must coax him to recite, for he is so accustomed to coaxing the motors in the shop to hum sweetly. Don't forget Ronald when you have motor trouble. He'll probably become an authority in this field. IEIELEN CASARI Why would anyone as full of vitality as Helen is be interested in a Funeral Parlor? Really want to know? Well, he's tall, blond, and altogether very striking. Some day he'll have a Funeral Parlor all his own fwe hopej. He's light, she's dark, and opposites attract- so-o-0-o-o-ol BEN CIMOCHOVVSKI Ben is hiding his talents from the class. He can dance, he takes part in plays, but not of the high school variety. Rip down that fence of silence and get into things! When you do, we shall be rooting for you. Let yourself go! HENRY COCHRAN 'fMickey is always the Mother guy who helps play practical jokes on you. He and Gehres team up. His pet hobby is basketball, having played on several teams through- out the city. Henry is reasonably bright in his class work, but he shines in other fields, also. His attractiveness to the opposite sex is one of these, but Mick is very unconscious of this. ELDEN CONING Light wavy hair, smallness of stature, and smoothness of speech are some of the characteristics of Elden. He gives some good imitations of Stan Laurel, the comedian, and might even take his place some day. There is also some dynamite in him. He may be small, but only a small amount of dynamite is needed. He always has a girl friend, I guess he can't do without one. lvY CONNER Ivy likes to be called Bunny, but we, in our turn, have changed it to Bonny, Why? Because the word means beautiful. The musical organizations can be grateful to have this cute young lady with such a rich voice as a member. We'll be waiting to hear Bonny sing over coast-to-coast hook-up every Friday night at 7:30. JANE CONNER Jamey is a sweet but talkative individual. Never has anyone found dissatis- faction in her eyes, for she is content with what she has. She is also fun-loving and is willing to be a partner in innocent mischief. Her red hair and lovely disposition are opposites. May you stay as sweet as you are! DANIEL CONNORS 'fDanl' is a likeable chap with a flashing smile, and he may well flash it with those pearl-white teeth he has in his possession. f'Dan', is a trackman and is even said to resemble the great track star, San Romani. We hope he will be one of the future Olympians. EDWARD COOPER Tut is one of our number who is the fortunate possessor of a delightful per- sonality. One cannot fail to notice that ever-present twinkle in his eye. He has marked abilities but is quite reticent concerning them. His records speak for him. VVe doubt if there is any vocation in which he could not give a worthwhile account of himself. ELLEN COSTAS Ellen's quiet and unassuming manner has won for her a host of friends in P. H. S. VVill she follow her father's footsteps and make candy for us all, or will she be the best little secretary in some important firm? VVe are sure that whatever she chooses to do will receive her loyal attention. ANNA CROUSE Anna's charming manner, sweet smile, and willing attitude have gathered for her a circle of friends which anyone might envy. A very capable member of the Y. VV. C. A. is this little girl with the blond hair. Anna is particularly fond of sports and can usually be found animatedly discussing them with one of her numerous friends. ZHIOTJ KATHLEEN DAUBERT Petite, dainty, and cute-these adjectives describe perfectly this small package of feminity. Kathleen's sweet personality has stretched far and reached into the hearts of everyone of us. If she is as successful in the World as she has been in school, then we knovv she will reach the pinnacles of happiness. LORRAINE DAVIS One can see by just looking at this picture that Lorraine is chuck full of merriment and mischief. Not any of us can resist taking into our hearts this bundle of joyful dynamite. Where there is to be found a good time, there shall you find Lorraine, also-at the head of it, most likely. ANITA DENGLER Anita is a lovely red-head who hates to be called Clara CBowj. Anita will probably be somebodyls Hstenogn Cshe is receiving practice on the Hi-S-Potts staffj. She is an excellent dancer, and many boys are grateful for her ability as a teacher in the art. During the summer she transforms herself into a fish Cshe lives in waterlj. KA1'HI.EEN DIEFENDERFER She's a demure little miss who enjoys traveling early in the morning. Kathleen comes all the way from Auburn. Her habit of concentrating on studies has been a flne example to many of us. She is very quiet and goes about her duties with as little ado as possible. Her innate refinement adds dignity to its possessor. JOSEPH DONITUS This fine young gent hails from Seltzer City and brings with him many mischievous stunts which he claims his fellow students fall for too readily. He is quiet in the classroom-too quiet, the teachers think-but pays up for it outside. Joe is also an ardent supporter of the tack industry Qget the point?j. JOHN DORNSIFE This fine young man was noted the most serious and most quiet boy in high school and yet the firmest and truest friend a person could ever hope to have. That's what makes John an ideal student. john found little time to devote to outside activities, but his efficient work in making up this Annual is appreciatively recognized. COLLETTE DROBEL Tallness is a readily seen characteristic, aspirations and strivings are others less readily discerned. Nevertheless, they exist and cast their shadows before-to finer things to come. To the public eye and at school Collette is very studious and somewhat shy, although her chums have found her full of fun after school hours. STEVE DROTTER Here is our deep lover CPD of poetry. Steve is usually a quiet student, but when he Hashes his smile at people, they immediately become victims of his undeniably good nature. He is our fellow commercial pal and suffers through the same studies as we do. He hails from Mill Creek, which gives us another reason to like that vidinity. EVELYN DUNN Beauty, brains, sincerity, dependability, and many more brilliant qualities, too numerous to mention in such a short space, go to make up our friend and your friend, Evelyn Dunn. She's one of the most popular girls in the class of '37, She can certainly be considered a friend in the truest sense of the word. RITA EAGAN Rita possesses the unusual gift of knowing when to talk and when to keep quiet. Don't we all, members of the fairer sex, envy her! She will always fill a happy place in the world because she has the facility for making friends. She will be an asset to whatever occu- pation she chooses. EDWARD EBLING Flarhf ! I Down the track comes the Jesse Owens of Pottsville High School. Chicken is always full of fun and ready to chase one's blues away with a joke and a laugh. His humor, wit, and sociability have been three of his outstanding characteristics. His athletic abilities have made him a valuable addition to our class. CHARLES EISENHART UCharlie is one of our most favorable prospects for the business World. He possesses all the personal business qualifications necessary to attain the top of the high ladder of success. Charlie has worked hard during his high school career, and such zeal, ambition, and effort cannot go unrewarded, nor shall his work have been in vain. ALMA ELHAJJ A dreamy appearance, linked with quickness, depth of perception and emotion, identifies Alma. This is one time she is not late, but only because it is an impossibility. If the early bird catches the worm, here is one girl who will never get it! But who wants a worm, anyway? CHARLES ELLIOT Charlie can be better described as the 'tLone Scoutf' for he always travels alone, and he does belong to the Scouts, Troop No. 9. In the electric shop he is Mr. Ganoe's ffright-hand man, so 'fCharlie must be a good electrician. Some of his pet diversions are reading and eating candy, for he always has the latter with him. RUTH EVANS-Ruth is a charming little senior whom one might greatly prize as a friend. Appear- ing to have little to say, she is quite different when one knows her as she is, radiating fun and laughter. Ruth's smile and her willingness to help have won her great recognition and many friends during her school days. enio'z.4 22 23 KATHLEEN DAUBERT LORRAINE DAVIS ANITA DENGLER KATHLEEN DIEFENDERFER JOSEPH DONITFS JOHN DORNSIFE COLLETTE DROBEL STEVE DROTTER EVELYN DUNN RITA EAGAN EDWARD EBLING CHARLES EISENHART ALMA ELHAJJ CHARLES ELLIOT RITTH EVANS eniozi eniota JACK EVANS CARMELLA EVOL0 QUENTIN FEHR EVELYN FEY ELDEN FISHER EDWARD FLEMINC JOHN FURMAN WILLIAM FOX ROBERT GABLE WILLIAM GARNER ROBERT GEHRES JAKE GERACE I I JOHN GILES JOHN GOMBOLA MARY GOOD 24 25 JACK EVANS Dark and handsome is this young man, acting shiekish when he can. On the dance Hoor he is the envy and despair of the other fellows. Jack is the Paramount Public shiek who nightly struts his stuff in the Capitol. This may be the reason for his nvacationsf' May we present the Beau Brummel of our class! CARMELLA EVOLO Go into your dance! 'fHoney knows all the latest steps and best orchestras. Silence and seriousness are far from her door. Live, laugh, and be merry, says Honey. But there is something else beneath that gay mask. She is a charming, loyal friend. Here's luck to you in your undertakings! QUENTIN FEHR f'Quinnie is an active member of almost all outstanding clubs in the school. His efficiency as Business Manager on our 1937 Annual Staff portrays his unusual ability. We can't say that 'fQuinnie excells in any one activity, for he, in the fullest sense of the term, is a Jack-of-all-Trades. We are at a loss to state which one Quinnie will choose. EVELYN FEY In the school, out of school, everywhere, people think that Evelyn is just about the finest person they have ever known. She is particularly interested in athletics and art. Her interest and ability in these two fields certainly produce results. Whenever there is anything to be done, one can always count on Ginger. ELDEN FISHER Y-E-A-H, Fisherfn How often have we heard this yell given for Elden out on the football gridiron! He has won several letters, and the recent season found him as co-cap- tain of our football squad. His physique and handsome appearance cause many heart flutters among the fairer sex. His dependability and cooperative spirit have been greatly appreciated by all. EDWARD FLEMING Evidently, Edward believes the saying, Silence is a virtue of the wise, for he is another of our quiet, reserved classmates. This school chum, we know, always appears to be a silent observer, however, his intimate friends tell us he can be as convincingly jovial as any of us-but then, many good things unfold themselves quietly. JOHN FURMAN '!Furman is one of those all-around fellows. He is a gentleman, a student, and an athlete. A perennially cheerful countenance and a disposition preeminent for its exceptional good nature have made f'Jack among the most generally liked fellows of the class. He crowned his athletic career at P. H. S. by winning a regular berth on the Varsity five in his senior year. WILLIAM FOX This young blond is one of those rare characters who are noted for their quiet cooperation. Although 'fBill does not make much noise when he goes about his business, it seems that he accomplishes much more than the average. His interest in class room work signifies that he is ambitious for the better things of life. ROBERT fiABLE Bob, an outstanding dresser of P. H. S., came to us from Altoona at the begin- ning of our junior year. Bob is a gifted artist. As an Art Editor of our Hi-S-Pohl: Annual he has shown exceptional ability and his clever drawings adorn the bulletin board on the third Y fioor. He's a boy yould love to meet, and a pal who can't be beat. WILLIAM GARNER A diligent student, good sport, and sincere friend is f'Willie. He is always a well-behaved chap, and that, together with his likeable personality, brings him many friends. Willie is not only actively interested in sports CBASKETBALLJ but is one of our staunch and loyal all-around supporters. 'fMen of few words are sometimes the most eloquent. ROBERT GEHRES f'Bob'l is known to be a most genial fellow, always helping some one in distress, especially when it involves the fair sex. He is usually contemplating his studies, as a result of this, we see his name on the honor roll each month. Especially interested in music, 'fBob whiles away much time by playing on his trombone. Maybe he'll be a Russ Morgan the second! JAKE CHERACE 'fJake is one of our industrious shop boys. No task which is given him by his instructors is too difficult, and each piece of work he completes is a specimen of beautiful work- manship. Combining this talent with his quiet, pleasant manner, we have a boy whom we can thoroughly depend on and admire. JOHN GILES Johnny wears that descriptive air of quietness, but we've heard reports about a certain dry sense of humor which is always right under the surface. It's bound to come out some time, be it now or later. VVith his hair, his looks, and his voice, he's bound to go places. We'll be seein' you in Hollywood, Johnny. JOHN GOMBOLA If John were not so tall, one would never know he were in the room, for he is a quiet young man. Initiative, energy, ambition, and stick-to-it-iveness form the characteristics of this athletic lad. His motto appears to be, Let us then be up and doing, with a heart for any fate. MARY Goon Here's one of the most carefree members of our class. Fun-loving Mary is a girl we like to have around to hear her gay chatter, for her happy-go-lucky way is an asset and a pleasure to us all. To sum her up, she's a parcel of vitality, a real friend, and what a talker! enz'o'c.4 DORIS GOODMAN One of the most pleasant girls of the class, Doris is always willing to do a favor. Everyone is greeted with a smile and a cheery HHello as she passes by. Her beautiful blonde hair and rich coloring make her stand out as one of the most attractive and charming associates. EMMA HARNEY Here is one of the quietest girls in our class. Emma has intelligence and relia- bility plus. Her shorthand is excellent, and her seriousness about it puts her in the better half of the class. She's a grand friend, and we'd like the world to know it. Keep up the good work, Emma, we're pulling for you! HARRY HAR'1'S'l'liIN Harry is one of the smallest members of our class, but, big or small, he does his work well. Harry hasn't been persuaded to join any of our organizations, believing that 'fSilence is Golden. He is a happy-go-lucky fellow with plenty of pep, vim, and vigor. There must be something behind that profound silence. HAZEI. HECKMAN Small--but what a lot of pep, vim, and vigor she has! VVe know she does not lack nerve, for a dare is equal to a do with Hazel. She keeps up a pleasant chatter but not continuously. Dancing is one hobby she does not neglect. VVe dare Hazel to go forth and conquer. She will! VVILLIAM HEF14'NER Bill is one of our most sincere and ardent basketball fans. Whenever there is a game, there is 'fBill in the front row. He has a dry sense of humor which convulses anyone who hears his remarks. Bill always presents a neat appearance, and woe to the boy or girl who sees him 'fwith his hair down! MARIE HIBIB Here is one of the smallest, quietest, most industrious, and sincerest girls who ever trod the corridors of P. H. S. Marie, despite her stature, has made us pleasantly conscious of her presence in a friendly and unobstrusive way. Marie has a mischievous cell in her brain and is always in some fun. Her shy and unassuming manner has made her countless friends. FRANCIS HIRSCH VVe do and we don't know Francis, but what we do know about him leads us to a firmer friendship with him. We have often wondered what ideas are hidden under his wavy hair. He enjoys having tricks played on him, but, unlike many of the class of '37, does not return them. LEWIS HONICKI-IR Gentle reader, here is a man's man-a funny, wise-cracking, typical senior. Every school has one. Louie believes in the age-old adage, All work and no play, etc., so he lets the work take care of itself. He believes in studying a trifle-never too much, but enough to pass. He's a great guy! ROBERT HORN VVe present to you a great sportsman of P. H. S.-a real he-man and a senior of whom we are all justly proud. Beep is his monicker, and the tougher the sport, the better he likes it. He rates high in his classes and is not afraid to look a textbook in the face. VVe wish you luck, 'fBeep. JOHN HOWELL U-Johnny has gone out for one sport in particular during his high school career, and that is track. He has won two letters and numerous medals already. We call him our Jesse Owens. He can be awfully quiet when he wants to, but don't run away, Johnnyg'! we!re only teasing. GEORGE LIUGHES When the football season rolls around, all the gals start perking up when Rooky comes to town. He has a rollicking sense of humor and a really attractive grin which he can Hash on and off as he pleases. VVhenever a trick has been played, you always know whom to suspect. VVhom?? URooky, of course! ROLAND HUMMEL The rhythm king!! How he does swing it on the cello of his! But when he's not playing in the orchestra, he is a serious and obliging student, who not only likes to study but does it earnestly and well. Roland is also a very neat dresser and loves to dance, which further proves that he's got rhythm!!! NANCY JOHNS Just an all-around girl-that's our HNan. Her time appears to be taken up with sports Qparticipating and spectatingj, dances, and clubs, which makes her one of our busiest students. Studies also occupy a great deal of her time. Another interest this charming, lovable girl has concerns the male portion of our school. Nuff' said! LEONARD JOHNSON Len is our expressive sports writer. ln fact, several of his articles have been printed in national newspapers, and he tells us that his sole ambition is to be a war-corres- pondent. He has a sense of humor and revels in a joke-even if it is on him, which proves his grand personality. Keep writing, Len ! ARLINE JONATHAN f'Johnny is one of our most ardent sport enthusiasts, both from the view- point of the spectator and the player. Just the mention of basketball stirs her to action. She likes her clubs, and there are very few to which she does not belong. She is always willing to do a favor, and through her pleasing personality she has gained many friends. anion 26 27 DORIS GOODMAN EMMA IIARNEY HARRY HARTSTEIN HAZEL HECKMAN WILLIAM HEFFNER MARIE HIBIB FRANCIS HIRSCH LEVVIS HONICKER ROBERT HORN xv JOHN HOWELL GEORGE HUGHES ROLAND HUMMEI.

She belongs to the band and orchestra and is an excellent clarinet player, Sincerity is her passwordg studying, her occupation. Through her geniality and courtesy, she has made many friends. We are for you, Anna, so don't disap- point us. MARGARET JONES Margaret is one of our musical lasses, having a flute-like soprano voice. She is not inclined toward sports except from the spectator's viewpoint, but all the same, she finds amusement in many outside activities. She could not exactly be called quiet, but her slow smile and delightful chuckle are never too loud to he called noisy. Keep smiling, Margaret! PAULINE JONES Pauline is one of our happiest and friendliest Seniors. Through her personality, humor, and merry giggle she has won friends and more friends-and not all of the same sex, either! She is not inclined to study too seriously, but she always Ugets theref' and we love her for her irresponsibility and happy-go-lucky way. EDWARD KABASA Here is our friend of the sun-topped crown and sunny disposition. He is no grind, but keeps a steady middle level. He isn't active in all things, but he supports the under- takings of others. He wins many friends by his willingness to be a friend. We will be sorry to part with 'fEd. JOHN KELLY A tall, blond, easy-going fellow, who, by his reckless fnot f'wreckless J deeds, has become known about school as Spider. He never believes in studying for, at least, hardly everj but seems to have passed the test well enough to go out into the world and worry more people with his pranks. Go to it, Spider ! THERESA KELLERMAN Theresa is the proud possessor of many lovely clothes knitted by herself, which are the envy of all the girls. She has lovely dark, wavy hair and a really beautiful and sparkling smile. With a little giggle and a flash of that smile, Theresa has won our hearts completely. THOMAS KENNEDY Bang! Bang! Above the rest of the band you can hear that expert of the drums - Tom. CUTom-Tom! J We hope to hear him in the best band in the country. He is also very witty and keeps us amused with his jokes and remarks. HTom is the sort of person who is the life of the party. EMMA KEMFORT Petite is the word. Em is small and hard to see, but easy to hear. You can sometimes catch a glimpse of mischief dancing in her clear eyes. Even if she isn't sure of her P's and Q's, she does know her manners. She enjoys life as she finds it. Such a person should know happiness. JULIA KENNA We will all miss Julia of the genial personality. She greets everyone with a warm smile which bespeaks sincerity. She has no enemy and is a favorite of all. We acquired a friend always active, helpful, and cheerful-one who carries a ray of sunshine wherever she goes. Good fortune will come to such a jewel. ELVIN KEMFORT He could easily be called Shorty. He spends a great deal of his time in the shop, so we don't see him as often as we could care to. He lets himself be heard, but, alas! not in class. Just the same, we enjoy his company. There are many who would like to be as carefree. LOUISE KIENZLE Everyone knows that Louise is one who keeps things humming. She is a mix- ture of many good qualities, but we admire her good-fellowship -best. She is a patient listener as well as a willing talker and induces other more reserved persons into speaking, including her violin. We hope she prospers in the business world. BETTY KLEIN Betty certainly takes advantage of the latter half of the lunch period. She seems to have mastered the art of dancing and has gained a reputation as a dancing teacher. fAsk some of the males of the classlj She is an enthusiastic booster of all P. H. S. teams and shows great interest in all the class undertakings. GEORGE KLINGER We now introduce one of the most popular boys in the class, George Klinger. His pleasing personality has been a great asset to him and has won him many friends. His well- known laugh is proof of his great sense of humor and is in itself enough to start an uproar in the class-room. George also shows an interest for science. CATHERINE KNOLL A charming, quiet nature goes well with Kate's sunny disposition. We find Kate always agreeable, and not once has she lost her temper, even though her hair is red- red-gold, to be exact. She is well-behaved, but we sometimes find mischief in the very best. We wish the best for one who has so deservingly won everyonels confidence. IRMA KOCH This young lady has been credited with being one of the most quiet girls of her classg however, her intimate friends think differently. She is fond of dancing and parties but does not let them interfere with her school work, in which she excells. She gives her whole-hearted support to everything she undertakes. This and her winning personality are sure to bear fruit. eniota JOSEPH KOEGEL For he's a jolly good fellow and a Hregular guy. Ujoel' is a lad who knows what he wants and how to get it. He seems to leave the fairer sex alone-much to their dismay. His jovial nature has won him many friends. With the ability to keep things moving, he will get along. WILLIAM KOPP William is a boy we never can and never will be able to keep track of. He is here today and gone tomorrow and is absent-mindedness personified. His hair is the source of envy of girls. William doesn't seem to resent it for even carej, but we have our suspicions. Wake up, Willie and show the world your smile! D ANGELINE KOU'l'SOUGIANIS 'fAnge knows her Greek, even if she isn't interested in intensive study. She is always willing to help out and tries very hard to please. We like her frank dispo- sition and know she does not sham. She has proved to be a loyal and true friend. VVe hope all her dreams and inspirations will be realized. FLORENCE KRAFT 'tKraftie is tall and slim. She bubbles over with enthusiasm and goes in for everything with a will and a way. She is especially interested in all sports-a typical outdoor girl. Nevertheless, she is just as popular indoors, being an expert at dancing. We know her career will start with a bang and maintain a high 'tceilingf' RUSSEL KRECKER During his four years at Pottsville Hi, Russ has shown great interest in the band and has given his time and ability freely to the betterment of that organization. He is a member of the Crimson and White Dance Brigadiers. In due time he may probably give the elbow to Louis Armstrong himself! MILDRED KRIEG f'Pert is the word which would best describe 'fMimmie,l' who seems to have a constant habit of elevating that turned-up nose and grinning at one until all troubles vanish. Then, when the never-failing chuckle comes, one feels like hugging the first person encountered. That's our Mimmie all over-a big pack of sushine and laughter. GERT'RUDE KUTSCHER Genie is full of mirth, and such as she keep the world going round. We all listen while she carries on her interesting chatter in halls and classes. Gertiel' is dark- complexioned, having black hair and interesting, dark eyes. We will not forget her easily, and we know that for her, life has just begun. DOROTHY KULL 'tDot has red hair but seems to lack the temper that goes with it. A smile is always on her lips except when she is in deep thought. At first we thought that she was quiet, but now we know better. We wish her all the happiness and a full share of the good things in life. LOUISE LAMONT Louise is one of the smaller members of our class, but then you know that old adage about good things. This petite blonde is very adapt in the arts of dancing, giggling, and talking. However, although few are aware of it, she is a very able pianist. Here's to a profit- able musical career, 'tLou. x ANNETTE LECHLEITNER Annettes merry laugh can be heard ringing through the halls many times. She is the life of a party. What grand entertainment she has provided in that modern living class! It must be good when all these domestic lassies get together! 'What trick is she planning to do next? lt is bound to be a good one. SHIRLEY LEIDICH Shirley! The name itself portrays a vivid and charming personality. She is one of our leaders and has especially made her mark in oratory. We know that we will hear of her in later years. The secret of Shirley's popularity is that she is an all-around girl. She has a definite personality and greater things follow in her footsteps. ROBERT LEININGER We have found that Bob is a very likeable chap. He is popular with both boys and girls. A social career is not his only ambition, for he is one of our brightest students. Basketball playing is his hobby. His school career was very successful, and we know he will have a far more remarkable one out in the world. lVllL'I'ON LINER A sudden outburst of laughter acts as a trumpet heralding the coming of Milton Liner. His sense of humor is such that it is not uncommon in the classroom to hear it reach its zenith-namely, the 'foutburstf' f'Flash Qas the name indicatesj is also a member of the track team and is goin' places! LESTER LINDERMUTH 'fLes is a happy-go-lucky chap. He is a quiet fellow among strangers, but amongst his friends he has his fun. This chap's favorite indoor sport consists of sleeping during assembly periods. Although he did not participate in any sports, Les was an ardent supporter of Crimson and White athletics. AR'I'HUR LORD Arthur, known to his many friends as Tut, is of the quiet type but has that certain thing which enables him to acquire numerous acquaintances. Tut's hobbies are entirely concerned with scouting and sports, and, although he does not participate in school sports, he is a loyal supporter of all our athletic teams. . anion 30 JOSEPH KOEGEL VVILLIAM KOPP ANGELINE KOFTSOFGIANIS FLORENCE KRAFI RUSSEL KREC ' MIHQCf7z12g 1 N' , GERTRIIDE KUTSCHER DOROTHY KULL LOUISE LAMONT ANNETTE LECHLEITNER SHIRLEY LEIDICH ROBERT LEININGER MILTON LINER LESTER LINDERMVTH ARTHUR LORD eniotf enz'o'z5 ALBERT LOTZ EDWARD LOTZ ROBERT LOTZ BEATRICE LOWTHERT MARY LYNCH ANNA MAHONEY SARAH MARBURGER MARY MARX SARA MASTELLER SARA LOUISE MATTHEWS POLLY MCCOOL IOSEPH MCCARRY 1' . 1 A f a , A ff' jrf JJ ,-'Lf 1, . , ffxfbj ' ' IIN., ,fl Y V.

He seems to get a Ubig kick out of life and enjoys the little things in it. After all, it's the little things that count and not always those which look the biggest or easiest. Isn't that right, 'fAl ? EDWARD LOTZ Edward C Huggum J Lotz has always shown a great interest in newspaper work and is a member of the Hi-S-Potts Newspaper Staff. Who knows? Perhaps Ed will be the editor of some great newspaper. He is an efficient and capable worker. This will surely aid him in his chosen line of work. ROBERT LOTZ When in need of a friend, get acquainted with Bob. Anyone will tell you that. He is a true friend, an honored student, and an excellent basketball player. What more could anybody ask? Bob is about the best liked student in P. H. S. He always has a cheery salutation for everybody, whether big or small. BEATRICE LOWTHERT Did you ever see a dream walking? Maybe not, but if you were a Short- hand teacher, Beatrice would come close to it. Yes, she may be tiny in size, but how much real stuff there is in Beatrice! Don't good things usually come in small packages? Dependability, sincerity, and ability-all in one small package! MARY LYNCH Mary is one of the jolliest girls of our class. She's always full of fun and ready to enjoy a good laugh at any time. Many a gloomy hour in the dressing room of the gym was chased away when she popped on the scene to tell a good story. Her willingness to help a friend in need is a valuable characteristic. ANNA MAHONEY Anna is one of the smallest members of this year's graduating class. What a powerful bundle of pep, vim, and vigor! She is always ready for fun and, unconsciously, enter- tains others with her witty remarks. She is interested in several school clubs. Even though her home is in Wadesville, she never misses an athletic event. Her faithfulnss will be missed. SARAH MARBURGER She's by far one of the best-dressed and neatest girls in this class. Sarah has made herself known to all of us. Her quietness and intelligence are succeeded by a gayness and a lightheartedness which break through at the most unexpected moments. We've found a grand friend in her and feel that she is an honor to us. MARY MARX Mary is a very good student who does everything conscientiously and well. She has made hosts of friends during her four years here and is certain to be successful wherever she goes when she leaves us. We are proud to have had the experience of knowing her and wish her a full measure of happiness and good will. SARA MASTELLER A versatile girl indeed is Sara. She's been a very busy and important person this year with her clubs and all outside sports and activities. Beside this, she is a good student and a willing worker. Sara belongs to the musical organizations and through these has made friends with many of her under-classmen. Stick-to-it-iveness is what counts, and Sara has it! SARA LOUISE MATTHEWS We present to you our talented Associate Art Editor. This dainty young Miss is one of the most clever girls of our class. A lovely voice and a graceful, poised air have won for her many friends. Her nimble feet have won applause for her on the occasions of her appearance at school functions. We predict that she will be among those present in years to come. POLLY MCCOOL A disturbing noise is heard in the corridor and then that familiar phrase, Don't be silly! It is none other than our own fun-loving Polly relating one of her humorous stories to her jolly friends. She is also one of these gifted artists of which the class of '37 can boast. Polly takes a great interest in the activities of the Junior class? ? ? JOSEPH MCCARRY You see him, then you don't. That's Hoe walking by. He enjoys walking and reading, particularly the latter, which he does whenever an opportunity presents itself. Joe has limited his participation in our activities because of his living out of town. Still, joe is far from being a forgotten man, for he is known and liked throughout the school. THOMAS MERCHANT Tom is known to only a chosen few of our class, but has succeeded in gaining their confidence. We can't seem to be able to picture Tom in the future. He is one of the many students who comes from Mount Carbon, the little 4'burg of big men. Believe it or not, he might even turn out to be a merchant ! BENJAMIN MEYERS Words fai-l us, for we can think of none which adequately express all that we should like to say about Ben, or, if words could be used, we wouldn't be able to limit them to so few. Ben likes to drive an automobile. After school he can be seen piloting his car in almost any part of the town. Can it be that he's sponsoring :fthe complete car-completely new ? THELMA MILLER The girl with the many coiffures! It seems to us that she would make an excellent hairdresser. Are we right? Thelma is the proud possessor of a teasing disposition which is merely a merry mischievousness. Her engaging smile brings joy to all those around her. May everything she does be as bright as her school days were gay! en1'o'z.4 4.1 HARRY MOHL Harry is a real live wire. He is interested in almost everything Cexcept girlsj. He does a thing and does it well, not because he must, but because he finds joy in doing it, or perhaps because a friend has asked him to do so. We'll never forget Harry and the fun we had with him. DORIS MOORE From our friendly little neighboring town, Port Carbon, hails this friendly little classmate. Doris joined us last year in our Commercial Curriculum and has made things prac- tically 'fhum ever since. Someone must have told Doris that a true smile is like a ray of sunshine, for we have never seen Doris in any other mood except a cheerful one. FLORENCE MOORE The high school boasts many pleasing personalities but none so lovely as Flossie's. She is an asset to any good time. Fun and smiles were made for her. Whenever anything was well done, especially dancing, it was Flossie who did it. Her presence always adds a warm, happy touch. Long will she be remembered! CHARLES MORAN Charlie, although interested in athletics and possessing many friends, has taken but little part in either school activities or sports. Charlie is noted for his funny stories and can easily draw an audience, which is often the case. f'Charlie is particularly good on gym apparatus, although he is not a member of our gym team. RUTH MOSER In Ruth Moser we have a fine, serious, hard-working school-girl. Other activities of Ruth are few, but as a student she is splendid. Much work and little play' seem to constitute her life, yet we could be wrong! Her smile is not often seen, but her friendship is a proud pos- session. KATHRYN MOYER The Moyer family, for years, has been setting a high standard of scholarship and activity in P. H. S. Kitty follows in the example of her predecessors. Phi Gamma Lambda owes a great deal to her pleasing and efficient character. Her worthiness does not stop here but reaches out into all occupations in which she participates. ROY MOYER Roy takes life and school rather seriously. He gives the outward appearance of quiet efficiency, and his actions verify it, for he is an excellent worker in all respects. He is fond of horseback riding and spends many hours enjoying this form of recreation. Whatever the future holds for Roy, success is bound to smile upon it. WILLIAM MELVIN MOYER Bill is one of the accomplished trombone players in the high school band. Wherever the band went Billl' was sure to be seen proudly displaying his school colors. He wasn't a football player, nor a basketball star, nor a 'fbig hero to any girl, but just a plain and earnest person and a good friend to all. HARVEY MULLIN UA friend in need is a friend indeed. That's why we all like Hib. This is especially true when one is in a blue mood. He always has a bag full of tricks and jokes ready to use when the proper time presents itself. All in all, they just don't make them any better than Hib. WILLIAM MULROY Here is one of the members of the 1937 edition of The Three Musketeers. If Bill were present, the teacher found it unnecessary to ask if Mohl or Mullin were there. If you ever want the 'flow-down on things or an earful of high school gossip, 'fBill is the person who can tell you. He knew the unknowable and could even tell you what the Dead Sea died of. RITA MURPHY A smile, a blush, a small pint of dynamite-thatls our pal'l- the best of sports, Murph, We sincerely believe it would be very difficult for anyone not to fall under the spell of her happy, carefree disposition. She is a basketball devotee, both as a participator and as a supporter. Her contagious smile is a worthwhile asset. JOSEPH NAGLE Woe has been an outstanding track man during his four years in high school and has received several letters which he proudly wears as the symbol of his 'fAlma Materf' Hjoev likes to have many friends, which is an easy task for him, and fortunate are they who are chosen to be his friends. MINNIE NAUNDORF Quiet girls seem to predominate in the class of '37, Another possessor of the reserved quality is our friendly Commercial Course Hpalf' She has not participated actively in sports but is an ardent booster of all things in which our school participates. She hopes to be 'fSomebody's Stenog in the future, and the whole class is certainly behind her. ANNA NOCKE1'T Anna is known to our class as being among the most quiet. Perhaps if we saw her outside of school, we would change our minds. One thing about Anna which everyone notices is the attractive way in which she always has her hair. Maybe she's planning to be a hair- dresser? No matter what she does, she has our most sincere wishes. HELEN OLIVER Clubs, music, dances, athletic organizations, athletics-is there anything in school in which Helen does not take an active part? She enters into everything with plenty of enthusi- asm and pep. By the way, Lellie is very much interested in the latest dance steps and hit songs. Her favorite song? f'Night and Day. No particular reason, Helen? eniou '35 HARRY MOI-IL DORIS MOORE FLORENCE MOORE CHARLES MORAN RUTH MOSER KATHRYN MOYER ROY MOYER WILLIAM MELVIN MOYER HARVEY MI'LLIN WILLIAM MULROY RITA MURPHY JOSEPH NAGLE MINNIE NAVNDORF ANNA NOCKETT HELEN OLIVER enl'o'Z.4 enioza KENNETH ORF JACQUELINE OWEN ELLIOT PECKMAN MARCELLA PETROSKY JEAN PHILIPS CLARA PIERCE Q ,wk I I , I. , 1., ANNA POTICHER!

He is a noted musician-a fiddler lor, as some prefer, a violinistj in the P. H. S. orchestra. He is also able to adapt himself to any situation, and this, we are sure, will carry him a long way. JACQUELINE OWEN We are sorry to say that f'Jacky has been with us only during her senior year. However, she has taken an interest in all phases of school life-in a social, educational, and athletic way. She is one of the most diligent and studious girls in our class. Outside of school, so we hear, her interests vary. ELLIOT PECKMAN El has been a sincere and willing worker, taking time out now and then to participate in some sports, usually track and basketball. El not only takes part in sports, but he is ever boosting the athletics of P. H. S. El hasn't joined many of the school organizations but gives his support when called upon. MARCELLA PETROSKY Demure, business-like, efficient, and charming begins to explain our Assist- ant Editor-in-Chief. She was also, during the first semester, President, which proves that beauty and brains can possibly go together. Marcella has a charming personality and a winning smile which put all who meet her at their ease. We know she'll have all the good fortune in the world, Marcella, so here's to you. JEAN PHILIPS Jean is one of the schoolls outstanding personalities. She has great ability in every field, but perhaps the acme is in the form of her silver voice. Jean's sense of beauty, pertaining to literature and its recitation, is far above the average. Perhaps it was this that hypnotized a certain gallant John, who is well known to all of us. May there be a long existence to both of you. CLARA PIERCE At last-a person with the genuine, priceless gift of a dry sense of humor. Many of her friends tell us that this very quiet senior girl has the knack of saying many things in a highly amusing way. She is a girl, however, who believes in being seen only, this probably accounts for many people not being acquainted with her personality. ANNA POTICHER This student is as quiet as a lamb. She seems to believe that silence belongs on the gold standard. She is not very well knowng she appears to be very bashful. VVe believe, however, that many people would appreciate her quiet friendliness. We wish her success in whatever she undertakes in the business world. ELEANOR POTLUNAS Eleanor is one of the girls who prefers school looking on from the outsideg hence, her frequent vacations, Those who know her admire her for her happy-go-lucky atti- tude, her cheerfulness, and her never-failing sense of humor. She is different, we must admit, in one thing-a football hero doesn't attract her. CAROLYN Poweits Laugh and the world laughs with you, is Carol's motto. She makes a ioke of everything, including her troubles and studies. It is our hope that time will always afford her hours of dancing, for she takes a great interest in it. Another interest this dancing daughter of P. H. S. has lies in the former gym teams. No more need be said! JOHN POWERS Pete has been the student manager of the basketball team-and an excellent one. Pete, in his junior year, practically had taken care of the class basketball league himself. We wouldn't be surprised to see f'Pete's name in sports columns as a prominent promoter. Pete's chief interest is in motorcycles-in Power tsl. Get the idea? RITA PRESTILEO 'fSpeech is silver, silence is golden, is by far the outstanding motto of Rita's school life. One never knows when Rita is around, except when one sees her friendly smile and hears a cheerful Hello. She is another commercial student who, we predict, will be an efficient, dependable worker. Best wishes, Rita. JOHN RAZZIS Johnny is one of our future grocers. He'll take over his dad's store, but first, his father remarked, that he must keep his mind on the profits and not- eating. I hope ffJohnny's prices won't be as high as the balls he hits when playing baseball. Did I forget to mention his love? I did? Well, it's basketball. MARTHA REGA Here is a woman interested in politics. Martha is a very singular person, and we find it hard to analyze her. She holds our interest by keeping us guessing, but she does let us know our faults and virtues by constructive criticism. We hope, some day, to see her launched in a Better Politics campaign. MARTHA REH So! Not only Hollywood boasts of a Martha Raye! P. H. S. can now relate the story of a similarly named person in the form of a senior Miss who appears at times to have certain characteristics of the famous star. Martha is a diligent and clever student who is well liked by her intimate friends, and she is the possessor of a keen sense of humor. FRANCIS REHNERT Rosin, this blond giant, says his only love is basketball, but hels holding out on us, for although he never admits it, one can draw very good conclusions from what one sees. The person who'll miss him the most will be Pop Gaskins fhe'll have no one to yell ntl. Incidentally, we must hand it to him, Rosin is an excellent German student. enio'z5 NORMAN RICHTER This fine fellow hails from the East Side. f'Whitey is a great advocate of sports and has always given his support to the teams. He is known throughout Pottsville and vicinity for his superb ability as a swimmer, being one of the outstanding celebrities at the East Side Pool. Good luck, VVhitey l ROBERT ROBERTS And here we introduce you to a pleasing, handsome, and red-headed person- ality. Especially popular is he with the portly, golden-haired youngsters of the freshman class, but t'Bob'l mildly ignores them and sticks to his own dark-haired lass. Your masculine classmates may call you hen-pecked, but don't you think they're just a wee bit jealous? NuE sed! ROLLAND ROGERS Rolland is one of the more quiet members of our group. Unexcelling in any one activity, he always seems to make the grade near the top. Placid and forever unassuming, his individuality is one which will always be remembered. Oh, yes, and by the way, is your motto really Gentlemen prefer blondes ? TLIERESA ROSENBERGER Hailing from the west side of town, i'Therese is another of those grati- fying students who always seem to spring up in good old Yorkville. Perhaps it's this Miss's agreeable manner which has won her the attention of some of our stellar track men. At any rate, she has it. Cross-country runners are tops, though, eh, 'lTherese ? JOHN ROZETAR t'Rube believes in signs. He once saw a sign, f'Keep Smiling, and he has been doing so ever since. John took part in but few activities during his high school career, believing that it is better to do a few things well than to be Jack-of-all-traders and master of-well, need we say more? NELLIE RUNKLE A blonde-yes, but dizzy-never. Nellie is a very sensible young miss who could hardly go by the old by-word, just a dizzy blonde. She has just enough sense of humor, enough personality, enough of everything, including a fine sense of loyalty to her school to make her tops with all of us. HAROLD SACHS Here shines one of our brilliant stars of the basketball court. But why limit it here when we can say so much more good about H ? He may have a distaste for class work, but outside of that, he is a real live wire. Always in the center of activity, a good time is insured when H is present. JOSEPH SAMOLIS In every class there is sure to be one person who is a bit singular. f'Joe, unanimously, takes that position. Always witty, with a clever comeback for every wise-crack, he was the cause of much merriment in our classes. This lad could easily be dubbed the 'fTouch- stone of the class of '37. GER'1'RUDE SCHNEIDER We could place a list of adjectives a mile long after this young lady's name, and they all could be summed up by one word-likeable. One could not call Gert brilliant, but she is always dependable, and this, after all, is the best. Brilliance sometimes may fade, but one who is dependable always remains constant. MILDRED SCHOENAUER Loyal is the word for Millie-loyal to her school, her friends, and, above all, to sports. Here she excels. Any call which goes forth for a participant in intra-mural activities is always answered by this energetic lass. Her ardent work as a Senior Athletic Booster is enough to tell us just what kind of popular Miss she is. ELWOOD SCHRAEDLEY jack-of-all-trades is true in the case of Elwood. Who has helped more in the detailed routine of our athletic teams than Manager Schraedly? Ready at all times to give a helping hand, his usefulness to our team members has known no bounds. Chucked full of vigor, he will make his way in the future as manager of some all-star athletic team. MARY SCHRANK Our shorthand wizard - Betty. We poor unfortunates who do not have the nimble fingers and technique which f'Betty possesses certainly admire her for her skill. She is the teacherls ideal student-one whom, alas, they seldom see. Betty, on the other hand, is a very friendly girl, she is one who is well liked by her classmates. HENRY SCHEURINGS f'Henny is one of the real fellows in our school. He likes the boys, and the girls like him. Ranking high in that Economic f'stuff, ffHenny was always able to tell us what he thought. Basketball also had a part in his busy high school life. Tall, lanky, and rosy cheeked, HHenny will soon be among the community's leaders. BENJAMIN SEAMAN t'Ben,l' we hope, will bring fame to the class of '37 as the future Fred Astaire. See the latest? is f'Bennie's favorite phrase. And can this man dance? All who have seen him at lunch can answer favorably to this. Dance your way through life as you have danced into our hearts, and you will reach the heights. ALBERT SEIBERLING Albert is one of the quiet boys of the class. His motto is Action speaks louder than words, and so it is, if you have seen any of his drawings or sketches. In eighth grade he won first place in the Poster Contest of Schuylkill County. Albert is also known for his ability as a dancer. eniota 3 39 NORMAN RICHTER ROBERT ROBERTS ROLLAND RODGERS THERESA ROSENBERGER JOHN ROZETAR NELLIE RUNKLE HAROLD SACHS JOSEPH SAMOLIS GERTRUDE SCHNEIDER MILDRED SCHOENAVER ELVVOOD SCHRAEDLEY MARY SCIIRANK HENRY SCHITERINGS BENJAMIN SEAMAN ALBERT SEIBERLING eniots enz'o2.4 !

SMITH JAMES SOMMER JEAN SPEHRLEY FRANCIS SPLAN RAYMOND STARR ETHEL STEIDLE VIVIAN STROUP VALERIA STROVINSKY DOROTHY TAMBUIRELLI ROSALIE TAYLOR MARGARET TELFORD 41 CURTIS SHELLHAMMER HShelly is the all-around athlete of the school, being a football and basketball player and pole vaulter. P. H. S. will miss him in the line-ups because f'Shelly was always on hand at a crucial moment. The person who employs him should certainly find him a valuable asset to his business. RUFUS SHORTER Rufe's last name certainly isn't practical, for he is far from being shorter than the average student. Rufe is the star center of the colored team in the Junior City League. He also provides an attraction for the girls because he always makes it his duty to escort one home from school. DONALD SKEAN Does anyone need a handy-man? Donald can Hx anything which is placed before him. He has taken his shop work seriously, and we suppose in years to come he will become a professional Mix Fixitf' A willing spirit and friendly smile should help him achieve success in anything which he determines to undertake. JACK SLA'1 1tERY Tall, dark, and handsome-and does he fill the bill! VVhen Jack arrived from Palo Alto it didn't take the girls long to find it out. But this young man goes his own quiet way, pretending to be so indifferent to us. We often wonder whether he's shy or just won't tumble! ! RUTH A. SMITH Ruth has been a great addition to the Hi-S-Potts newspaper staff. She is one of the most able solicitors Mr. Sterner has. Our t'Ruthie is a very likeable girl and one of the most congenial in the class. She's a blonde, but as you have probably guessed by now, not dizzy. JAMES SOMMER Small, but, oh my! How 'fjimmieu does get around! His cheerful face and those twinkling eyes are enough to open the doors to anyone's friendship. He can usually be found in the Student Council room teasing the girls, or excitedly telling of the good times he had telling her Where to get off! JEAN SPEHRLEY Jean is an ardent sports fan. Both phases seem to interest her-that of spec- tator and also as an active participant in any game which happens to be in season. We often wonder how many gym suits this girl with a zest for all sports wears out in a year. FRANCIS SPLAN Francis is the mystery man of the school. No one seems to know very much about him. He is the strong, silent type and appears interested only in his lessons. At least he doesn't look twice at any belle who passes him in the hall. Of course, perhaps after school hours- RAYMOND STARR Raymond is a shop boy who has had a hard time learning adjectives and nouns. 'fRay has provided many laughs for his classmates and has taken them good-naturedly, which has made everybody like him. Since he will do much with his hands, he won't need a great deal of English. His good nature should prove a great asset to his business life. ETHEL STEIDLE Our Ethel is One in a Million. She believes in the old saying, Silence is golden, and really lives up to her belief. Petite, jolie, Ethel has made many lasting friendships in her four years here among the students and teachers with her sweet smile and charming manner. VIVIAN STROUP Rhythm seems to be Vivian's chief interest. If not on the dance fioor, then in the school orchestra, or taking lessons from Lee Berger. Wonder of wonders! She doesn't appear at all interested in the other sex! Some of you boys should get busy and see what can be done about this Amazon who just won't fall. VALERIA S'rRov1NsKY t'Val'! is one of the school's most energetic blondes. Her energy reaches out to all her interests and makes her a success in each one. Her occupations include tennis, dancing, bicycling, the opposite sex, her hair, and soliciting for the Hi-S-Potts newspaper. Need- less to say, she excels in all of these. DOROTHY TAMBURELLI The haunting, dreamy strains of Star Dust reaches the ears of Dottie,y' and her eyes become pensive and dreaming. This girl is one who is certainly fond of music and dancing, and the result is that few dance steps have ever held much difficulty for our brown- eyed senior. She is an ever-popular person where dancing is concerned. ROSALIE TAYLOR Rosalie is a gay, smiling, carefree girl who no doubt is proud of her four years in P. H. S.! She is always the same smiling person no matter what the task. And for dancing-naturally, she loves it. Work might become tiresome, but Rosalie is never tiresome to her friendsg they admire her. MARGARET TELFORD This quiet lass moves along with little to say, but probably with much going on in her mind. Outwardly she has no special aim in life or desire for any one thing, and yet one wonders if inwardly it is the same. She keeps her thoughts secluded, but some day she will surely blossom forth into a woman of success and understanding. enio'c5 NORMAN THORNBURG The spring brings sunshine and baseball to 'fDutch. He is greatly inter- ested in sports, and on the diamond he is unequalled. ffDutch proves to be studious as well as talented. We admire his eagerness to help others in their work. Perhaps a Big League team will find f'Dutch some day. MARIAN THRAN She is very quiet and appears to be very niceg her friends tell us that she is just that. Marian doesn't make herself conspicuous, although she is always smiling and appears to be very happy. VVe believe she possesses great ability, and her calm temperament will make her an excellent model for others. BEATRICE TILEY Beattie heads the top of the list in most everything, and we're proud to have her as our Editor-in-Chief of the Annual. Personality and her inseparable friendliness are Bea'sl' high lights. Boys and brilliant A work constitute a great part of her school life. There is no one we would rather have as a pal than 'fBeattie. LENA TRANIQUILLO Lena is a girl who can -be well titled as capable She is one of our busi- ness course students, and we have reason to believe that she is a good one, too. Her pleasures are many, and we all know that she gets a big kick out of dancing at noon. Exit P. H. S.- enter business world. CHARLES TROUGH 'fCharley'l is kept rather busy in his Alma Mater with his interest in our singing groups. Then, too, there is the typing in which he excells. We might call his friendship f'secret, but when you know him we are told he is a real fellow. It is our sincere hope that his future will spell victory. VVILBUR TUCKER Yes, sir, here he is! Our own pleasingly plump paper boy, and one of the school's fine singers. Wilbur is a great talker, and his humor is often side-splitting. My, but he is jolly, and all goes well with Mr. Tucker! He did enjoy expressing Economic Viewpoints, too. More quips from Tucker! - EMILY URCH Here we have a very pleasing, obliging, quiet, and unassuming personality. She is a splendid typist, and the Annual appreciates her staff work. We all know her because of her true smile and willingness to work. Fine girl, me thinks. Never is she too busy to help others, and that is something. VIRGINIA WADE It is a flash of green down the corridor and lo and behold, it is tall Virginia making her presence known. She is a runner-up as one of the school's best dancers. Her clev- erness and apparent seriousness will aid her in getting her man! We'll be hearing of Virginia later on! ALLAN WAGNER HAI is one of the school's handy-men, having been trained in our school's Vocational Department. HAI likes sports, especially basketball, which he very often plays at the HY. Besides these things, HAI finds time to enjoy his friendship with Rolland Rogers, with whom HAI has traveled ever since he entered high school. JEANNE WAGNER Quiet and easy-going is Jean until it is time to express an opinion, and then we find her-her true, happy-go-lucky self. With an enhancing smile and a slight tilt of her blonde head, 'fJean is your friend. She has a very suave, nonchalant air that is priceless in girls. ELLIOTT VVALKER The school's leading tenor-the Lanny Ross of high school. Elliott-tall, blond, and handsome-created a stir when he entered into our musical circles in 1935. His calm quietness is outstanding, and we are always glad to know and talk with Elliott. His future lies aheadg may it always be melodiousl MARIAXN WALLACE A dark -haired, pretty-eyed maiden is Marian. She is so meek C?j and unalarming, yet she has been known to go in for drama. Her serious mood prevails, although we know of her in her dancing mood. No doubt there is another Marian besides the scholar, we would like to know her. However, shels O. K. as is. RUTH VVEINER 'fRuthie is one of our class's funsters. She quickly adapts herself to the humor- ous side of things and no doubt finds work a bore. A pal to everyone--that's Ruth. Her favorites are few, her friends are many. Again, we must say she's another dance enthusiast. A more pleasing person one could not know. ROBERT' WEISS Robert, better known as 'fBob, is a hard-working business student and is doing very well along this line. f'Bob is very calm and allows nothing to upset him. We have missed f'Bob's company in school activities, in that he took very little part in them. His true identity is hidden, but we know he will Uproducef' ANN WELLER We all like Ann. She is so very kind to everyone. When times are blue, a cheery HHello from Ann will do the trick. She is very interested in people in general, and there is that f'Romance in her life. She is a true sports fan, a fine student, and a real friend. We salute herl eniou 42 43 NORMAN THORNBURG MARIAN THRAN BEATRICE TILEY LENA TRANQUILLO CHARLES TROUGH WILBUR TUCKER EMILY URCH VIRGINIA WADE ALLAN WAGNER JEANNE WAGNER ELLIOTT WALKER MARIAN WALLACE RUTH WEINER ROBERT WEISS ANN WELLER J , wJ z X15 w A 5.

She is a brown-haired lass and a most pleasing person. Her work is good, and her friendships are better. Things with Maude are taken for granted, yet her ready smile and other traits will see her through life. ELIZABETH WILDER Elizabeth is our idea of a clever girl with a lot of good ideas and a great sense of humor. fShe also falls up stepslj In the classroom she is always willing and very able, and Miss Zerbe knows how helpful. There are happy days ahead, ULizzie ! We're for you. BETTY WILLIAMS Here we have one of the school's unusual personalities. One of her joys is dancing at noon Cand at other timesl. Her dry wit, willingness, and cheerfulness add zest to her presence. Betty is always willing and is a very good sport in everything. She, too, has interests among the masculine set! AUDREY' WINTERER HAudie is best described as vivacious. This bit of feminine pulchritude will always be seen smiling, happy as a lark. She has fulfilled all tasks set before her in her four years in school with a willingness that makes everyone form a good opinion of her. An added attribute is her natural, school-girl complexion. CHARLES WITMER Charles is another quiet boy, but does he have a smile! Most of his Chem- istry periods are spent trying to 'Adrown one of the girls. The funny part is that the girls don't seem to mind a bit. Blond hair and blue eyes work miracles in making the girls forget all about Mr. Neubling. JEAN YAISSLE 'fVariety is the spice of life must be Iean's pet slogan, for she certainly has tried everything. Music, sports, dancing, and even now and then a few piano lessons demand her attention. But that's all right, try everything, Jean. The more experience one has the better equipped for life she is bound to be. MICHAEL XVANNI Curly, black hair and a pleasant disposition make Michael a 'iregular guyf' He is very serious and one of the few conscientious boys in the school. f'Mike is always willing and helpful, but let anyone begin to impose on his good nature and watch Michael stand up for his rights. RACHEL YAROWSKY Rhythm is her middle name. How she loves dancing, and how well she dances! She is quiet and can be quite cool when she chooses, which, Qwe are glad to sayl, isn't often. Dance through life, Rachel. We are sure whatever you elect to do will 'fclick with you at the helm. GEORGIA Y'AVIS Sports, sports, sports! Does anyone ever hear anything else uttered from Geor- gia's lovely mouth? They fill her entire life and then some! She feels right at home with a basketball in her hands or when off on a dash around three bases towards home. May she go through life with the same spirit. CHARLES ZALONKA One of our big, blond heroes and, oh, what a hero! Football and Charlie'! are synonymous in the minds of all the pupils in P. H. S. He has caused quite a tremor in the fem- inine half of the school. Any boy with his grit, determination, and ability should certainly go far in life. Victory makes history!'! JOHN ZEDONEK Few and far between are men like John. He has gone his own quiet way, asking for nothing and giving all he has for the benefit of the school. Jack isn't the 'fpalsy-walsy type, but those friends he has are true believers in the integrity and real ability of this silent young man. eniotd J , K ' L2 ff ' A ' S X 'YV4-L ' uniot gfmu 1 K x ,,..,dLfL1' Spf 'af p, p 7 , X Lf' 1 V i A 111, a,L,L, L, X1 V ' f L, JL, V fx 1 ,Q 'f LDV f -K-ff jQ4A,-K 1 1 Aff ff , s Kgs, .ff X ,fait .QWL v ,vo ,, ,W ' .Vx ' I 461 Top Rofw-Josephine Feris, Eleanor O'Gitis, Anna Kristin, Betty Laurence, Bertha Mowen, Ruth Smith, Ruth Kohr, Rose Mary Poole.

The Staff of Pottsville High School's odicial news again feels proud that theirs was the guiding hand that piloted the journalistic ship through the port of its first anniversary. Throughout the current year the Hi-S-Potts Newspaper produced tangible and effective proof of its maturity since those first days of 1926-27 when Herwood Hobbs became the first editor. Hi-S-Potts Newspaper entered into three competitive journalistic conferences and again achieved the high honors that in the past few years has stamped it as one of the best high school newspapers of the country. The contests and conferences entered include the Columbia Scholastic Press Conference at New York City, the Pennsyl- vania Scholastic Press Conference at Penn State College, and the Lehigh Conference at Bethlehem. The 1936-37 edition of the Hi-S-Potts Newspaper was produced under the guid- ance of,Associate Editors Harriet Boone and Doris Armbruster. Nlartha Reh proved to be a fine Business lwanagerg in this capacity she was ably assisted by Edward Lotz, Assistant Businessslwanager. Leonard Johnson turned out a fine sports page. Valeria Strovinsky was Circulation Nlanager. Carlton R. Sterner is the Faculty Adviser. Seventeen issues of the Hi-S-Potts published during the first seven issues were six- page editions. ln journalistic, intellectual, literary, and advertising achievement the newspaper rose to new levels of achievement. A Staff of about forty journalists provided the brains behind the literary guns of the newspaper. Of at least forty, only four are members of the Senior Class. New fields of journalistic glory should be on hand for next year's Staff, which will take up the work that the reporters of 1936-37 did so well. The National Honor Society Robert Leininger ................... President Quentin Fehr ...... . . .Vice-President Sara Nlasteller ...... ...... S ecretary Creighton Lawhead ................ .Treasurer The National Honor Society of Pottsville High School was conceived in June, 1936, but it was not until January, 1937, that it really became an organization and began functioning. The society purposes to create an enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote leadership, and to develop character in the students of the high school. lt attempts to promote a school consciousness of a worthy school objective and formulates and executes plans for the attainment of this objective. Membership is based on scholarship, service, leadership, and character. Candidates must have a scholarship rank in the first third of their respective classes and must have spent at least one year in the secondary school which elects such persons. Not more than fifteen per cent of any senior or graduating class shall be elected to mem- bership in a chapter. The election of not more than five per cent of the 11A fsecond semester Juniorj class may be accomplished during the sixth semester. Also, election of not more than ten per cent may obtain before the end of the seventh semester. The remainder may be chosen during the eighth or last semester before graduation. , STVDENT COYNCIL Rear Ruiz'-Kenneth Urf, jean XYagner, Paul Achenluarlx, Jessie XYalton, Clarence lloutl, Sara hlaareller, Creighton Lawhead, Mary Hanley, Douglas Vlfilliams.

President Shirley Leidich ..... Vice-President jean Baehman ....... ........ S ecretary Robert Horn ....,,..., ......... T reasurer Miss Dorothy K. Critz .........,...... Faculty Adviser This organization group has been instituted for eleven years, during which time it has done much to promote student welfare. The field of its activities covers various phases of student life, such as recording the points obtained for participation in activities, attending student conferences, char- tering organizations, presenting and studying questionnaires pertaining to student problems, establishing a central location for lost and found articles, and sponsoring an annual dance. The Student Council also provides an ushering squad to assist at public affairs staged in the high school auditorium. Each Christmas season it gives for the children of the faculty members and the brothers and sisters of the council members a Santa Claus party. It welcomes the new teachers by holding a covered-dish social in their honor. Through the annual Penny-a-VVeek drive the council collects money for the pur- chasing of dolls and toys which are distributed at Christmas time among the needy children of the community. This year a total of eighty dollars was collected. The eleventh year of existence of the council stamps the initial year that the council pin, designed by Bethsaida Adams, has ever been a part of the apparel of members of this organization. One no longer thinks of the Council Room as simply another class room, for its furnishings are new, complete, and different. Through the aid of the Vocational Department and the Board of Education, the room has been made into an attractive club room. Co-operative in deed Obedient to authority Umpire for problems Noted for success Eager to help Careful in decision Never to fail lnstituted for service Tolerant at all times Successful in attempt Thoughful in action Upright in judgment Diligent in progress Loyal to purpose Phi Gamma Lambda Eleven trying but beautiful years have become history, and yet Phi Gamma Lambda lives on. Contrary to the fact that most organizations of this type last but a few years, the Phi Gamma Lambda girls each year have pledged themselves to carry on the principles for which they stand - better reading, better writing, and better speak- ing. In order to become one of this literary group, a girl must present an original oration. Any girl who passes satisfactorily the necessary tests may certainly feel that part of her high school life has been worthwhile. Even the Jane Addams Club of Hazleton, which inspired the organizing of this society, has long since passed into oblivion. Twice yearly the girls' gymnasium rings with the gaiety of two of the most popular frolics of the year-the Phi Gamm dances. The decorations, the programs, and refreshments are all home-made by the members. Probably the biggest and busiest week in the life of a Phi Gamm girl is the week preceding the Spring dance. This is designated as Phi Gamma Lambda week. During this time certain formalities are held, a play is enacted by the members, and an able entertainer is presented to the student body. It was decided that each year two scholarships would be offered to outstanding par- ticipants of the clubls activities for the furthering of their scholastic pursuits. lwiss Florence H. Short has been the faculty adviser for the body for the entire eleven years.

The club has participated in all state Hi-Y activities, and it has ranked among the leaders in state activities ratings during the past year. The club attempts to support all movements of Pottsville High School whenever possible. Included in its activities for the current term were educational trips to indus- trial establishments in Pottsville and vicinity, speakers, joint meetings with the Tri- Hi-Y, educational movies, demonstrations, discussion periods, and socials. The Hi-Y in cooperation with the Tri-Hi-Y Club conducted an Older Boys and Girls Confer- ence on February 13. Due to the great success of this event, it has been planned to hold a similar conference every year. The club was also host to the Hi-Y clubs of Schuylkill County at a district conference in October. The purpose of the club is: HTO create and maintain throughout the school and com- munity, high standards of Christian character.

Several times during the year prominent women in social work spoke to the girls. Mary Beyerle, Florence Kraft, Sara lylasteller, Rita Nlurphy, and Arline Jonathan represented the Tri-Hi-Y at the summer conference at Lake Ariel. The meetings of the club are held every Tuesday from 4:00 to 5 :00 at the Y. W. C. A. Nlembers are from the junior and senior classes only. During the year the Hi-Y entertained the girls at the Y. KI. C. A. Consequently, both clubs are endeavoring to have joint meetings more frequently. One of the most important events was the VVorld Fellowship Program, which is held every year in the high school cafeteria. All county girls are participants. An outstanding feature of this year's work was the adoption of a five-year-old child from one of our poor districts for the purpose of clothing her completely for one full year. A Tri-Hi-Y year ends successfully with the girls going to the Y. W. C. A. Camp Chickagami for a delightful week-end. I S. A. B.

Senior Athletic Boosters The Senior Athletic Boosters, better known about school as the S. A. B., is the only girls' athletic organization in the P. H. S. It consists of 22 members- 11 seniors and 11 juniors. This club was first introduced into Pottsville High School by the sophomore class of 1928. ln 1929 it became the junior Athletic Boosters, and in 1930 it was perma- nently known as the Senior Athletic Boosters. The aim of this group is to promote athletics in the high school and to enhance the social life of the school as well. To become a member of this club, the girls must be juniors, have 10 athletic points, and maintain a scholastic average of Cf, Every year it is the custom of the organization to sponsor a spring dance.

It is composed of thirteen active, leading students, including seven seniors, four juniors, and two sophomores. Seven new members are admitted to the organization each year- three juniors, two sophomores, and two freshmen. Elections are held near the close of the school year. To be eligible a student must be outstanding in at least one school activity, show qualities of leadership, and have a satisfactory scholastic standing. Its noted contribution to the school is in the form of a scholarship fund payable to some worthy student, who, because of financial difficulties, would be otherwise forced to discontinue attendance at school. Other activities include an annual Thanksgiving dance for students and alumni, several pep dances during the football season, and a dinner-dance for members and alumni at the close of the school year. The Tau Kappa Delta, although working in a queer manner, has always backed every school activity to the best of its ability and is really an asset to the school. Dr. A. P. Knight, the founder of this society, is the honorary adviser, and Nlr. Thurman T. Allen is the faculty adviser.

The Sketch Club The Sketch Club of Pottsville High School is comparatively new to our school. The oflicers are: Robert Gable, presidentg Herbert Zukauskas, vice-president, Klar- cella Petrosky, secretary, Sara Louise lllatthews, treasurer. Among the members are Anita Dengler, Evelyn Fey, Bethsaida Adams, Eleanor Ogitis, Polly lNIcCo0l, Fay Brigham, llflartha Reh, Anna julian, Ruth Evans, Dolores Klews, VVillard Long, Joseph Snyder, Edward llfulroy, Horland Wleaver, Philip NVoll, and james VVatson. In its own rather modest way, this club has grown and become one of the high-lights of our school program. Every lVlonday, from three to four, one can find a queer looking group somewhere on the premises sketching scenes from life. At times, the model was a fellow student, who soon would be amazed to find his likeness adorning the corridor walls. Then, too, there were rare, pastel sketches of the great wide open spaces, they were very rare! The real fun was in the actual process of making the sketches, whether they were charcoal, pencil, or pastel. There were many compli- ments, although they were over-shadowed by snickers of the members as they admired UD each otheris work. Under the sponsor's guidance, the members endeavored to improve their talent. Miss Zerbe was very instrumental in their success. VVe truly appreciated her aid. The Sketch Club grew from a few original, interested students to an active club of the limited twenty members. The Library Club OFFICERS SENIOR JUNIOR Doris Goodman .........

Secretary Thelma Smith ......... .Treasurer Agnes Schoenauer ...... .Treasurer lVI1ss Albanese ....... . ............... Adviser The Library Club is an active literary organization formed to promote interest in better reading material throughout the student body. lt was organized in 1929 and since then has grown to such an extent that two clubs are necessary-one for fresh- men and sophomores, the other for juniors and seniors. The total membership is now 67. A written examination on general library work must be passed for admittance. It is the custom of the club members to act as aides in the library under the direction of Miss Albanese, the adviser. This is an educational and productive training. The senior club meets every other Nlondayg the junior club, on alternate lylon- days. Dues are 50 cents a year. Each member, in his turn, contributes something to the regular program. Poems, book reviews, and current subjects usually play some part. The big social event of the year was the joint party in celebration of Valentine Day. Those present will remember its success. This year, in order to awaken interest in books other than fiction, a play was given in assembly called, The Non-Fiction Partyfl The action took place in a library, the characters having been certain non-fiction books who complained of their neglect. Each book character presented an interesting synopsis of himself. This was the club's con- tribution to Book VVeek. In December, the annual drive for more books was staged. Requests for donations were sent to members of the community in the form of scrolls, which were tied with dainty red ribbons. The response to the plea was very encouraging. The M usical Organizations The Nlusical Clubs of Pottsville High School, under the direction of hir. Earl W. Haviland, with lVlr. Leo F. Mirinichbach in charge of instrumental activities, include more than a third of the student body, or approximately 500 members. During the nine years since the organization of the clubs, a high standard of choral and instru- mental performance has been achieved, many concerts given, and signal honors won for the school through contest victories and participation in national and regional music conference activities. A CAPPELLA The A Cappella Choir during the State Contest held in Pottsville, April, 1936, won for the first time the title of state champions. The Choral Ensemble of the Choir won for the fourth consecutive time the state championship. In September, Mr. Earl W. Haviland, director of music, began with the choir of 125 voices as compared with the 100 voices of the previous year. The Christmas Concert, held December 16, was very successful. The Choir sang: Little David Play on Your Harp, a negro spiritualg HNursery Rhymes, composed by Molly Brown, a mem- ber of the Choir, Beautiful Savior, by Christiansen, and O Holy Night, by Adams. The latter number was sung by the combined Crimson Singers and the Choir. February 4, 1937, marked the first performance in Pottsville of the world-famous VVestminster Choir, under the auspices of the A Cappella Choir. On April 12 was held the joint concert of the Choir, Ensemble, Crimson Singers of the Y. W. C. A., and the Penn State Glee Club, inter-collegiate champions for six years. A matinee concert for students of the junior and senior high schools preceded the evening concert. Capacity audi- ences greeted the combination of championship choruses. .The Commencement Choir of fifty voices sang for the Baccalaureate Service and Commence- IIICIII. 66 JUNIOR CHOIR The Junior A Cappella Choir of 100 voices was organized last September. The Ch0ir's first appearance before an audience was when they sang for our own assembly several days previous to their Christmas concert. In April they again showed the tireless work of their leader in a joint concert with the Penn State Glee Club under the direction of Dr. Grant. The grand finale, sung by 500 mixed voices, was something that those who attended will never forget. During the annual music festival in May these young singers took an active part and proved to Mr. Haviland that his labors had not been in vain. The program included the Russian Vesper Hymn, Be Gone, Dull Care fOld Englishj, and the Huntsmen's Chorus, by Von YVeber. THE FRESHMAN CHORAL CLUB The Freshman Choral Club, composed of 130 girls, made its first appearance in the Sixth Annual Christmas Concert. Two songs were sung: Little Buttercup, from Gilbert and Sullie van's H. M. S. Pinafore, and the Kye Song of St. Bride, by Clokey. They next were honored by participating in the grand finale of the joint concert given by Dr. Richard Grant's Penn State Glee Club and our A Cappella Choir. Again they contributed a fine program in this year's Spring Music Festival held April 14-th and 15th. Among the songs sung by this year's Choral Club were On the Bridge of Avignon, French: an Italian folk song, Tarantella, and The Cuckoo Clock, by Grant-Schaefer. CHORAL CLUB Eighty girls' voices constitute one of the well-known Choral groups of the school organized since 1928. Progress and achievement have been chalked up on its history because of its present and past presentations of seasonal concerts. Programmed for the Christmas concert were the selections Some Folks Do, by Fosterg t'The Scarf Dance, by Chaminadeg and The Prayer from Hansel and Gretel, by Humperdinck. The Choral Club assisted in the singing of The Prayer of Thanksgiving in the joint concert with the Penn State Glee:Club on April 12. Its final appearance before the public was at the Ni'th Annual usic Festival in May, in which more than eight hundred choral and instrutnent usiciijmia ticipated. - , l rf' ' f ', L 4' ' Aj MD ,Pl 1 lr I 4 J ' I' f e X 5 .t .

Additional uniforms were purchased and the largest hand in the history of the school marched forth. Also, for the first time, the hand has had its own color guard, which added greatly to the appearance of the group. The band participated in all of the football games, concerts, and various parades, having received many favorable commendations and won several prizes. P. H. S. SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA The High School Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Leo F. lyiinnichbach, also increased its membership this year to fifty-five players. The violin and woodwind sections have been greatly improved. The orchestra played a number of fine concert programs and also furnished the music for the Annual XRYZlSlli1lgfOIl'S Birthday Miliuet. Nlarked precision, accurate intonation, and line tonal quality have been developed to a high standard this year. 'V Rear Row-Mr. Butler, Mr. Dimmerling, Mr. Guertler, Mr. Sterner, Mr. Steltzer.

VVhen the teachers were assembled before him, the spokesman of the trustees made the following address: HTeachers: I've been disputed by my fellow-cowleeks of the Board to make a short Collation to you on the subject of running this school practical. Wfe donyt want you to learn the scholars no fancy things. They learned me lots of nonsense where I went to school, and I never made the first dollar out of it. Now, there's arithmetic. YVe want you to play light with that. You can learn the children to do sums in Partition, Distraction, Stultification, and Long and Short Provisions, but thatls all. Don't you teach them Fractures. I lost six months when I went to school learning Fractures and last week I spent two days trying to measure off an acre of pasture, and Ild have been at it yet if Pd stuck to them Fractures. I had to go over the ground with a two-foot rule after all. Fractures is too puzzling. You are always converting the Divider the wrong way, or getting the Fumigator and Nomination mixed up on the wrong side of the line. 'KThen there's English Grabberg thatls another book we don't Want you to use much. I learned all about it when I was a boy, and what do I know now? I could- end Parsley ten Words if I had to die. Of course, all these boys may be the President of the United States, and then theylll want to know a little about it, for there's no use in a man running for an office unless he's good at Grabber, so you can just learn the children what they call the Smarts of Speech-the Article, the Clown, the Axletive, the Herb, the Parsnip, the Injunction, and the rest of them. As for Geog- raphy, we don't Want any of that in the school unless you get the new and improved one. The Geography that me and my cowleeks of the board learned at school was filled with a pack of lies and nonsence: it said the earth was covered over with criss- cross lines that they called the lines of Gratitude and the Cathartic circular and the He-Quaker that ran all around the earth after the Great Sarah. Now that's worse than dime novels, and don't you teach any of it here. Then I see in the next district they raised 520 off the taxpayers to increase the Falicities of their school, so they said. Now, we don't want you to use any Falicities in this school, if youlve got to use anything of that kind take a rattan, but I tell you public opinion is against corpora- tion punishment in any shape and though the taxpayers may stand a rattan they'll kick if any of their boys is waled with a Falicity. The only kind of punishment that is allowed in these times is moral swearing it hurts they boys just as much as rattans, and don't leave no marks on them. HThese are all the rules and regulations we have drawed up for the present but at b I our next meeting we'll get up some more.

Along the country highway walked a beautiful young maiden. She looked neither to the right nor to the left. Along came a delapidated flivver. 'fWhat say, honey? sang out the driver. f'Would you like to take a little ride? The girl looked up scornfully. On your way, she retorted. HI don't care to ride with strangers. The Hivver chugged away. The girl continued to walk. Some ten minutes later another old machine chugged up. 'fHey, baby, yodled the driver, you wanna 1ift?', The girl stiffened. On your way,H she repeated. I don't care to ride with strangers. The second car rolled away. The girl strolled on. A short while later, an expens- ive limousine stopped beside her. 'fG0od evening, young lady, said the driver. 'LNIay I take you anywhere? The damsel eyed the classy car. She gazed at the driver. What's your name? she asked. K'Tom, replied the driver. The girl nodded and stepped into the machine. The car started off, and the driver turned to the girl. Tell me,', he questioned. 'WVhy did you ask me my name? The girl shrugged. l'Because,l' she explained, 'TI donlt care to ride with strangersll' iop.. Barney Kemfort relates the following story about his home and the nearby sur- roundings. 'fIn the hills of Seltzer City, a son was born to one of the natives. As he grew from infancy he never spoke a word, and his parents raised him as a deaf mute. The father pampered his son because of his infirmity. One day, many years later, the father was in the orchard when he was attacked by an enraged bull. The old man was bent over at his work, and he did not notice the bull. fLook out, Paw,' the son shouted. 'Here comes the bull! The father ran to safety and was overjoyed that his son had found his speech. 'Nope, Paw,' the son replied, 'I just ain't had nothing to say before'. 1101.
