VVhether in the capacity of teacher, adviser, dean, or friend, she has been tireless in the performance of many acts of kindness toward everyone. VVe salute her-the First Lady of our school! Dean of Girls and Class Advisers MR. VVARREN N. BUTLER XIR. VVARRIQX N. BUTLICR For his enthusiasm. interest, and unfailing efforts in behalf of the members of our class, KI11 VVarren N. Butler has earned a marked place in our hall of memories. His attempts to inspire Within us a higher scholastic zeal certainly have not been unfruitful. MISS ESTHER MDHNSON In her quiet, unassuming manner, lyliss Esther johnson, our class aclyiser, has Won her way into the hearts of all those who know her, particularly the members of the Class of I39. During the four years of our high school career she has most effici- ently anfl faithfully fulfilled her eyery duty. Annual Adviser MR. MILES S. KIEHNER By their Works ye shall know themfy While the members of the staff receive credit for the compila- tion of the material for this year book, too much credit can not be given to our very amiable staff adviser, NIL llliles S. Kiehner. lVe deeply appre- ciate the inspiration We have received in his having guided us to higher ideals. VVe feel that any degree of success We may attain in future years in reaching the heights to which we aspire must be greatly attrib- uted to our association with Mr. Kiehner and his ability to impart the advantages of his experience.

Yes. I'm sorry. He has a class this period. Shall I deliver a message ?U The above expression we recognize as that which not infrequently is uttered by our very capable and courteous Kliss Reid over the telephone from the high school olhce. The fortunate possessor of a radiant smile and a very pleasing personality, she has won much favor with the hosts of sons and daughters of Pottsville High. Qfhce Staff MISS MINNA HUTCHINSON Those who have frequently been called to the office may have considered IXIiss Hutchinson rather severe, but we must give credit where credit is due, for she certainly has been most faithful and efhcient in the performance of her duties. VVe know that beneath an apparent outward sternness there lies an abund- ance of charm. Her sympathetic understanding and cheerful disposition compel admiration from all who associate with her. MISS INIARY REID MISS MINNA HUTCHINSON x ULII Q, M W FB Nfxozvu Mosrzu PAUL ACHENBACII HERBERT ZUKAUSKAS MILDRED LENGEL Presidmt Vin'-Presirlmzt Svtretary Senior Officers PAUL .ACHENBACH VIRGINIA LAWHEAD DORIS MARTY WALTER WYLD Pl'1'5idl'lII l'if'1'-Prfxidflzl Sn'rz'lary Page 13 Trnuurer , , . Paul Achenbach Raymond Adams Aranetta Berger Ferne Boltz Page 14 Albert Adukaitis Ethel Anderson P11111 Anderson P1111 Bechtel Mary' Beck Claude Benseman Nancy Bains Angelo Barone Vvalter Bartlett Helen Bzlst PAUL ACHENBACH-Even though Paul may be a quiet boy, he most certainly has not spent his time among us unnoticed. He has served faithfully as an executive of our class for the past three years. His handsome features and exceedingly pleasing personality have done much to make him one of the most popular fellows of our school. Paul's aim in life is to become a doctor. VVe hope he will be able to realize this most worthy ambition. RAYMOND ADAMS-Ray, through hard work and study, hopes to enter the electrical field upon leaving our school. The constant faithful work which he has done in the past four years proves that he has just what it takes to get ahead. His closest friends say that in his spare time he especially enjoys working on models of ai.rplanes. He also seems to possess a decided interest in music. ALBERT ADUKAITIS-The impression which Albert has left with us seems to be that his personality favors the quiet side. This, however, has in no way hindered him from gaining a great number of what we may term true friends. The plans which he has made for the future tend mainly toward commercial work, while his main recrea- tional interests are centered about out-door sports. ETHEL ANDERSON-Ethel's cheery, radiant smile has done much to help her classmates over the rough spots dur- ing the last four years. She is an active member of the Home Economics Club and has contributed conside.rably to the success of that organization. The old adage, Good things come in small packages, most certainly can be applied to Ethel. PAUL ANDERSON-A hard worker and a true student, Paul has just the right ideas about the best way to win a place for himself in this present social set-up. Not infrequently has his name appeared on the honor roll. In addi- tion, he was a member of our ever-active Student Council. Paul aims to become a business man, and a right good one he will make! NANCY BAINE-Directness is one of Nancy's outstanding characteristics. She always knows just what she wants to say, how she wants to say it, then promptly says it without further delay. Having arrived at P. H. S. during her sophomore year, Nan immediately found her place in the ranks of the best scholars of our class and has held her much coveted position ever since. ANGELO BARONE-With black hair and dark eyes, Angelo is a very good example of that Latin-from-Manhab tan. He has his own ideas, knows just what he wants, and does his very best to get it. Doing steady and consistent ll VVALTER HAR'I'LE'l I'-The merry twinkle in Walter's dark eyes acts as a powerful magnet, which has won for him many valuable friendships. However, not only is he extremely fond of having a good time, for he has also proved to us conclusively that work and play can be combined effectively. He is really an excellent scholar. Bartlett entered P. H. S. at the conventional time and has gone a long way since then. HELEN BAST-This young lady is one of our most active students. In view of her high scholastic standing, she was accepted into the membership of the National Honor Society. Her interest in athletics enabled her to become a member of the Senior Athletic Boosters, and a most reliable booster she is-in all that she does! Her name also appears among those on the 1939 Annual staff. Always ready, willing, and able, Helen is a most valuable asset to any group. PAUL BECHTEI.-Everyone knows that Paul, though of a quiet nature, has distinguished himself as a real scholar. After each grading period his name is sure to appear on the honor roll. Proof tif proof is neededl of his high schol- astic standing is the fact that he was selected to become a member of the National Honor Society at the end of his junior year. lle was also one of the outstanding members of our Student Council. MARY BECK-The charm which Mary possesses is something of which she may be proud. She is an active member of the Home Economics Club and always has been known to take a definite part in all of the organization's projects. She is the very incarnation of neatness- an admirable quality in any girl. The popularity which she has with her numerous acquaintances knows no bounds. CI..-KlflJE BENSEMAN-Claude is a member nf our truly famous Gym Team and has certainly done an excellent gymnastic job. Always a willing worker, he may well be very proud of what he has accomplished. Athletics, quite naturally, seem to interest him more than anything else. His musical inclinations lie in the direction of that inhale- exhale instrument - the harmonica. ' ARANETTA BERGER-Unusually reserved and quiet, Aranetta has shown herself to be consistent and steadfast in all her undertakings. She has early realized that a job once started must be completed and has aimed to carry out this principle to the letter. Her plans for the future center on secretarial work, while reading seems to be her most favored hobby and recreational activity. FERNE BOLTZ-Here's a girl who has the much-envied ability of being able to dance well with anyone. This, however, is not the only point in Ferne's favor, for she is also a reporter on the Hi-S-Poli: Newspaper staff. Then, too, she is an excellent swimmer. Her extremely friendly disposition has won for her many friendships which she will surely retain in the years to come. Page 15 Corrine Bound Frank Brazitis Norma Calhoun Ray Famodeca Page 16 Anna Brennan Fay Brigham Joseph Broderick Robert Burns Joseph Bush Nlzlrion 1gllSllIll' Mildred B r-r1 wn Carl Bnehler VVinfield Bnlat Jane Bnrgan CURRINE BOUND-Though exceedingly shy and quiet, Corrine has already formulated definite plans for the future. She intends to engage in oflice work and, since she is such a steady, faithful worker, we have not the slightest doubt that she wonlt do well. Corrine's outside interests center about the very worthwhile hobby of stamp collecting. Who knows? She may some day possess a very valuable collection. FRANK BRAZITIS-Frank's motto is Smile and the world smiles with you. Naturally, we never see him without his most engaging grin. Behind this ever-present smile is an exceedingly good nature and a sharp sense of humor. VVith this unusual combination we feel that Frank is proceeding in the right direction. He is particularly interested in industrial work. In fact, his enthusiasm for all things is quite catchy. ANNA BRENNAN-Petite, attractive, fun-loving--Anna really knows what it means to have a good time. Since she is an extraordinarily good dancer, we naturally assume that she is particularly fond of spending her free moments in practicing the latest steps. Her picture, as one can see for himself, bespeaks her beauty. However, Anna does know what it means to work, for she has certainly done her share. FAY BRIGHAM-Fay has the distinct honor of being the first member of the K'weaker sex who, in the past ten years, became president of our Student Council. Managing a governing body is no small joh. Fay has certainly done her work thoroughly and eliiciently. She holds an executive position in the National Honor Society, belongs to the Phi Gamma Lambda Sorority, and shows a marked talent for art. In fact, she is, undoubtedly, representative of all that could be desired in ally student. -IOSEPH BRODERICK-Though not too quiet, Joe never has very much to say- unless it is of real importance. lie selected the Shop Course while in P. H. S. and has shown us all what it means to work. He has laid down the rule that any job which he started must be completed. May this determination be with him always! MILDRED BROWN-Mildred is one of our quiet girls. At least, that is the impression most of us gathered. Her closest friends and classmates tell us that once she starts to talk and laugh, there is no telling how long it may last, Perhaps her tranquility at school is mostly modesty. At any rate, she is a willing worker- a tribute which cannot he paid to everyone. CARL BUEHLER-Perhaps the reason that Carl has so many friends lies in the fact that he possesses such a very attractive smile. Then, too, he also has a pleasant personality to go with it. The combination of these two always offers an advantage in any language. His main outside interests are in athletics, particularly softball games. How about trying out for joe Louis' team, Carl? l ll ll . I ll ll l 'Mil k W VVINFIELD BULAT-Winfield possesses an amazing sense of humor. This may help to account for the fact that people greatly enjoy talking with him. He is taking the Shop Course and does especially well in wood work, which really has become an avocation as well as a vocation. In coming years he hopes to come upon the world's stage as a construction engineer. May his debut be auspicious! .IANE BURGAN-Jane has proven herself to be a real asset to our class. She became a member of the Phi Gamma Lambda Sorority during her freshman year and has served that organization faithfully. ln her junior and senior years she most capably held the position of associate business manager of the Ili-S-P0tt.r Newspaper. Her laugh is contagious, her dependability is admirable. ROBERT BURNS-No, this isn't the chap after whom that ten-cent cigar is named. He is, however, illustrious in his own right. The poet was deeply interested in Nature, our Robert's alfections are claimed by sports in general and basketball in particular. Despite his weaknesses land he admits that he has somelj he, too, subscribes to A Man's a Man for A' That. JOSEPH BUSH- Joe joined the ranks of the class of '39 in his junior year and immediately gained a large circle of friends. He is especially fond of dancing and has certainly shown himself to be proficient in this art. Though his hair may be on the 'fred-ish side, he, by no means, exhibits any sign of a temper which is characteristic of his type. His friendly manner has made him most welcome among us. MARION BUSHAR-Scarcely ever do we see Marion without that individual, attractive smile - and Mary Choman! Though she may have her serious moods, her countenance gives us the impression that she is extremely pleased with life. This, however, does not hinder her from holding her own when it comes to any sort of important work, May her lot always be a happy and worthwhile one. NORMA CALHOUN-Gentlemen prefer blondes! At any rate that's what they say-whoever they are! Norma is tall, slender, has brown eyes and natural, golden blonde hair-in fact, all the qualities of a wide-awake girl. Her wit and versatile dancing ability, together with that cheerful spirit of sportsmanship, are among her out- standing qualities and accomplishments. She's most intelligent, too, her name has regularly appeared on the honor roll. Norma's favorite sport, at which she is quite prohcient, is swimming. May the currents in life against which she may have to swim never be too swift! RAY CAMODECA-Ray's apparent quiet nature may be deceiving, for his friends have informed us that he is really full of fun and always ready and willing to have a good time with others. Pleasure, however, does not by any means interfere with his work, for he realizes how important it is and has always been an excellent student. His sincerity is to be admired.

Check your water? These and many other familiar expressions will in the future tif fate isn't unkindj be uttered from the lips of Bob. Ile, above all, is a diligent auto mechanic-the result of hard study in the Industrial Course. l'Iis basketball ability warranted his being a varsity team member. Bob's tine sportsmanship is a trait of which we all cannot boast. His name should be Canwell ! ELlZABE'I'll CARI.- Ternperature, 98.65 pulse, 455 you're okay. lt would be a pleasure to be ill if Betty were the attending nurse. A cheery smile, a white cap on soft, beautiful, auburn hair, and a neat appearance-what more could a patient ask for? In addition, she is a graceful dancer, an expert rider, and possesses charm, poise, and tact. HAROLD CARTVVRIGHT-''Magazine racks, end tables, book ends, etc., for sale. A professional cabinet maker is in the making. Harold doesn't believe in hanging around school for club meetings and such, but he doesnlt mind tin fact, he loves toj spend hours in the woodshop. VVe've often wondered!! Is he, or isn't he a woman hater? VVe've never been able to get the goods on him. MARTIN CASEY-Happy-go-lucky-that's Casey! VVhen some prank has been played, you can be sure 'KCase had a hand in it. Although he wasn't active in extra-curricular activities, he did take much interest in electricity and some day hopes to be another Steinmetz. Although it is not generally known, he ean't be beat when it comes to play- ing sweet swing on the sweet potato. But definitely! PEARL CHATTIN-VVhat an example of femininity! Small in stature, graceful in action, quiet and subtle-these are her outstanding personality traits. Although she participated in few activities, she was a loyal member of the Library Club. If her ambitions are realized, what an asset she will be if the old saying, A good nurse is a doctor's right hand, still holds true. She is one of the better students of our class. MARY CHOMAN-Tall, slender, witty, and carefree-that's Mary. How dull the Library Club would be without Mary's occasional giggles and worthwhile suggestions. VVhat would the A Cappella do without her beautiful soprano voice? The ability to dance gracefully is something of which all of us cannot boast. Beautiful eyes of blue plus a merry smile should have some effect upon the opposite sex. Nlaybe it does! VVho knows? HARRY CLAPPIER-Harry, better known to most of his friends as Stripe, is an extremely quiet chap, unless you are one of his most intimate friends. A considerable amount of his time is spent in reading, although he has a hobby of drawing pictures of airplanes, battleships, and submarines during school hours. Perhaps he will become a famous architect or engineer. At least, that's the hope we entertain for him. Katie. And just listen to her make that saxophone talk in the orchestra! Vl'e're sure the neighbors don't object to her practicing. VVhat a dull day it is when Kathryn, with her hearty laugh, is absent. Swimming, plus basketball, baseball and other s orts have added vim and fair ila' to her ersonalitv trails. v P l F P . VERA COLEMAN-Ride 'em, cowgirl, ride 'emi And can she ride? She makes not only a bucking bronco feel ashamed of himself but also her opponents in ally athletic contest. Footloose and fancy-free best describes this bundle of pep, enthusiasm, and vigor. Her merry smile and hearty laugh act like a magnet among her classmates. FRANCIS COLLIER-Ah! Another lad who hails from Palo Alto. Tall, handsome, and blond he is. Although he didn't play varsity football, he was very much interested in it. He usually can be found patrolling the halls. Francis doesn't believe in hurrying. Although very quiet and apparently backward, he does appear to be able to make his presence felt. There's no mistake about that. GENEVIEVE CONNORS-Blonde and petite-that's Genevieve. Even though she is quite feminine in class, she can't be beat when it comes to dropping the basketball through the hoop or clearing the net. Athletics have added another trait-good sportsmanship-to her already excellent characterisics. She's a typical out-of-doors girl. DANIEI. COONAN-Vllhat? Another native of Palo Alto? K'Dan must be a descendant of Thomas A. Edison, for he is following in his footsteps. If ever you want to know something about some intricate electrical appliance, just ask Danny. The fact that he did not participate in extra-curricular activities cannot be held against him, for a con- scientious and sincere electrician is bound to get ahead -or a shock!! HELEN CRANDALI.-Helen is a product of the ever-popular East Side. She is a Commercial student and has already embarked on a business career in that she is employed as a part-time clerk at one of our prominent stores. This sweet brunette is an enthusiastic member of our cheering squad. lier quick smile and adorable dimples are meaningful witnesses to her cheer-full disposition. ELLSYVORTII DAVIS-Splash! Splash! Look outg there goes someone to the bottom of the pool! kVrong again. It was only Ellsie doing some fancy diving. VVhat would we do without our professional tormentor and his tricky smile? This tall, slender member of the A Cappella Choir, Library Club, and Dramatic Club can also hold his own carcass when it comes to roller skating. Girls are the least of his worries, 'tis said. Page I9 Viola Davis Frank Day Salvatrice Dragna Steve Uropchick Page 20 Virginia Deeb Florence Dengler Alfred Deramo Alex Dietz Claire Dolan lohn Donovan Christie IDEVCI' Francis DiCello Richard Dietrich Robert Divtrich VIOLA DAVIS-Click! Click! Bang! 'I'here's Viola, pounding away on the typewriter. Having been enrolled in the Commercial Course, she has prepared herself to he a 'fstenogf' Her leisure hours from the ofhce will in all probability be spent on the dance floor or in the swimming pool. There certainly is nothing so refreshing as a hit of variety in one's activities, is there, Viola? FRANK DAY-24-36-45 Action! Day made the tackle!l' VVhat an asset Apie has been to our class! Captain of the football team, a member of the A Cappella Choir, a former wrestler, a good dancer fyes, he knows his stepsj, and class vice-president during his junior year- all these, in addition to personality plus, a big smile and Hello for everyone, have made him the most popular fellow in school and an All-Around American boy. VIRGINIA DEEB- Take a letter, please! Ah! These words will be sweet music to Virginia's ears. i'Lucky is the word for the employer who has this striking beauty working in his orhce. Beautiful, black hair, twinkling, black eyes, and a big smile is enough to set any heart palpitating. And can she dance? A not uncommon sight is Virginia swinging and swaying in the girls' gym at noon. NVhen it comes to members of the opposite sex-well, what do you think? FLORENCE DENGLER-Fair as the lily, loyal, obedient, sweet, sentimental, intelligent, and energetic is 'iFlossie. Be it basketball, volley ball, baseball, or what have you, 'fFloss is a lover of them all. However, swimming and dancing are tops A wecome guest anywhere is this fair young maiden with the disposition all girls desire. Our official gloom Chaser has brightened up many a dull day. ALFRED DERAMO-Quiet, backward, conscientious, and athletic-these characterize 'iFreddie. This young man of few words possesses a dry sense of humor. He has proved himself an enjoyable companion and classmate. His principal extra-curricular interest is in the activities of the Sketch Club. lie should be well qualified to grapple with life's problems, for he's also a grunt-and-groan squad member. CHRISTIE DEVER-How can anyone be blue when Christie, bubbling over with wit and mirth, is around? All types of sports, reading, and dancing occupy most of her time. Even though she wasn't active in the various clubs, she was a member of the A Cappella Choir. Many a gloomy day was made cheerful by this happy-go-lucky Miss, who hails from Greenwood Hill. FRANCIS DICELLO-VVhat is more romantic than a moonlight night and an accordion solo? Although he himself is not very eloquent in class, he certainly can make his accordion Htalkf' Perhaps a famous musician is in the mak- RICIIARD DIETRICH-All hands on deck for Dick Dietrich of the Navy! VVhat is more picturesque than mid- shipmen on parade! Perhaps Dick's ability to play the bugle will come in mighty handy when reverie or taps are to be sounded. Dick has an unusual but interesting hobby- that of raising pigeons. llow about giving the Navy a helping hand? ROBERT DIETRICH-Dietrich is a hefty enrolee in the Industrial Curriculum, his major interest centering in electricity and its elusiveness. Press a button, you or me, and then this great 'lectricity will do the rest while we with zest sit 'round and try to look our l1est - well, for such perfection is Dietrich striving. ALEX DIETZ-No group would be complete without a blond male. Our class is not deficient in that respect, for Alex answers to that description. Rather than be a jack-of-all-trades, he did not participate in any activities. Per- haps he wasn't quite so active as he might have been in class work, either. But then, many who were not particularly fond of school work turned out to be famous. CLAIRE DOLAN-Ah! A modern jitterbug! Anyone who attended our formal dances was sure to see Claire burn- ing up the floor. Dancing and swimming seem to be her favorite forms of recreation and exercise. She is just as graceful in the water as she is on the dance floor. She must have music in her soul, too, for her piano-pllaying ability, we are told, is of merit. - JOHN DONOVAN-VVl1iz!! There goes Donovan flying by. Although he wasn't near the top in classwork, he was among those present when it came to track and basketball. lt looks as though the words Donovan and sports are synonymous, for another Donovan-Arthur-is the renowned boxing referee. Donovan without a grin is like a school without a teacher. SALVATRICE DRAGNA- Sally is sweet, alluring, lovely, likeable, and demure. In addition, a lover of music is our dainty little Miss. Not only is she an accomplished pianist, but she can also sing like a lark. And - her danc- ing is divine! A big smile and a cheery Good morning from Sally are sure to start the day right. STEVE DROPCHICK-Breakfast in New York, lunch in Paris, and dinner in Yokohama-that's the life UFoozy would like. CVVho wouldn't?l VVill it be a U. S. Transport or a China Clipper that this ambitious young man will pilot? Like Henry Busse, he's an accomplished trumpeter and was a most worthy addition to our band. And does the fact that he hails from St. Clair account for his being an excellent sprinter?

Honk! Service, please! Bob, who has taken the Auto Mechanics Course, steps up to the car. Yes, sir, what can I do for you? The answer probably concerns an over-hauling or repair job. VVhatever it is, we're certain that Bob can take care of every emergency relating to automobile ailments. ROBERT DROBEL- Bob is rather well known among the students of P. H. S. He has gained the admiration of all his teachers for his academic work. Bob has been a reporter on the Newspaper staff and has been a member of the choral groups. Besides being an excellent student, he is considered a marvelous dancer. His great sense of humor, sincerity of friendship, and pleasing personality are responsible for his popularity in P. H. S. JOHN DROTTER-This dark-haired chap comes to us from another of the suburbs of Pottsville-Mill Creek. johnny is one of our more sincere shop boys. He believes that Life is real, life is earnest. Drotter is very shy in the company of girls and strangers. He works with a will. VVe are of the opinion that he is the very incarnation of sincerity. ROBERT DUFFY-Here we present a boy who has excelled in many sports, wrestling being his chief interest while he was in our high school. Although he was often battered up, Bob never quit. He always went back for a second helping-or battering. We find him very popular with the girls- especially red-heads. He is a frequent visitor to Minersville, where at one time he attended school. HAROLD DYER-President of the Hi-Y, secretary of the Dramatic Club, member of the A Cappella Choir-what more could one ask for? Conscientious and sincere while working, jovial and witty at all other times, Dyer would seem to be well armed for whatever may arise. His presence lends color to any group with which he is associated. Such being the case, the name of this chap is quite suitable to its bearer. GRACE EAGAN- Simple and sweet is characteristic of our UGracie. During her four years in our school, it has never been known that she would have her homework unprepared. Besides being an excellent student, Gracie is athletically inclined, excelling in basketball and volley ball. She seems to believe that silence is golden and that a smile brings far better results than a wail. Keep smiling, Gracie, and the world will smile with you. SAMITEI. EBLING- Sam's pet ambition is to be a highway patrolman. He can often be seen at Mount Carbon getting first-hand information from these minions of the law. And we know that he'll present a real snappy appear- ance in one of those uniforms. VVell, Sam, here's hoping you realize your ambition and do your duty as you see it. ll lll l W l l VVILLIAM EBLING-In this gent is seen prospects of a future prosperous business man. Bill is a Commercial student. He uses his spare time well, taking delight in making all types of things from wood and other materials. Bill has been rather quiet while he was with us. However, we know that he is a splendid chap, worthy of any- one's acquaintance. l'lOI,E'I'TA EDVVARDS-A sweet girl with a lovely smile is our Violetta. She is one of our girls who comes from Palo Alto. Violetta takes the Home Economics course. She likes to do practically everything, but dancing rates tops with her. Sewing and reading come in for their share in her life. Violetta intends to enter the profession of nursing. EDVVARD EMHART- Ed is one of our more quiet boys. He is more interested in his school work than in the members of the opposite sex. He is a member of both the band and the orchestra and has given his time and ability to the betterment of these organizations. His generous nature has won for him many friends during his four years with us. EUGENE EVERT-Eugene is another fellow of the reserved type. But then, his silence is not considered detrimental, for he has a wide variety of friends in P. H. S. Eugene has not yet decided what his life's work will be. His principal interest is in things of a scientific nature. llc is also a participator in all phases of out-door life. ANNA MAE FANOK-A smile for all has Anna Mae! She is one of our colorful cheer leaders, of whom we are so proud. 'LSports is her middle name, but hiking and swimming monopolize her time. Anna Mae's lovable nature has been the basis for the many firm friendships which were acquired. llere's hoping she tackles life's problems with the same spirit she has displayed in P. H. S. ROBERT FASOLD-In Fasold we introduce a boy who will be one of our future ministers. At least, such is the nature of the information which is ours. VVe congratulate him upon his choice of one of the most worth while and commendable vocations one can enter. His opportunities for doing good are unlimited. May his efforts be crowned with the fruit of achievement. ARLINE FEIIR-VVhen one peers beneath the reserved exterior, one finds a jolly, lovable girl with a heart as big as she is small. Arline's favorite avocation finds expression in doing favors for other people. She is intelligent as well as generous and has gained the high esteetn of all her teachers. Fpon graduating, she plans to continue her formal education in an institution of higher learning.

She is a true specimen of the fairer sex, with her ready laugh and fluent tongue. 'lMag's sideline seems to be dancing. One can see her swingin' it every lunch period in the P. H. S. ballroom. Besides being fun loving, 'KMag also possesses business acumen. She is circulation manager of the Ili-S-P11115 Newspaper. MARION FELIX-In Marion we find a quiet sunniness which is very appealing. Marion takes the Commercial Course. She plans to work in the business world in the position of secretary. Marion has kept herself more or less in seclusion during her four years with us. However, her lovely smile and generous heart have been responsible for the formation of many fine friendships. THOMAS FERGUSON-We introduce Tom, our athletically inclined scholar. He is another one of our happy- go-lucky Shop boys. Tom is very much interested in all types of sports. In addition, Tom enjoys dancing. He is very popular with the opposite sex. Upon graduation, UTom would like to be an atheltic coach. Go to it, Ferg. You may be another T. T. Allen. VVho knovvs?? ANNA FERNSLER- Do unto others as you would have them do unto you seems to be Anna's chief philosophy of life. Her good sportsmanship is one of her many assets. Anna is a Commercial student. Upon completion of her school career she hopes to be an asset to some prospective employer in the role of stenographer. Stamp collecting and piano playing occupy most of Anna's leisure time. LIVIA FERRANTI-Here we have a rather quiet person. Livia has been a student in the Commercial Department of our school. Her favorite hobby is playing the piano, which she does very well. She has chosen nursing as her vocation. Her sweet personality will aid her in excelling in this work in the same way as it has gathered a host of friends for her. RUTH FISHER-f'By her voice, you shall know her. Ruth's singing has done much toward increasing the fame of P. H. S. This popular young lady is a Commercial student, ranking in the upper half of the class. She has been chosen treasurer of the P. G. L., president of the A Cappella Choir, and has been on the Newspaper staff. Ruthie intends to continue studying music after she leaves school. May she attain success as easily as she reaches those high IIOICS. VVILLIAM FISHER-In Mr. Fisher we present one of the best dancers in the class. Bill is the envy of all the boys when he's swingin' it on the ballroom floor. He is taking the Commercial Course and plans to enter into the business world upon completion of his studies in school. This blond Gable takes a definite interest in the female element, with which he has won an impressive measure of approval. , . I . I l . l ll llllllllllllllllll lll'llll lll WILLIAM FLAIL--Take life as it comes, is what Bill subscribes to. He is enrolled in the Academic Course of study. Bill's favorite diversion seems to be dancing. He never allows himself to become ruffled. At least, that's something! Upon completion of his high school course, Bill intends to enter the portals of higher learning. Penn State Center is his immediate objective. DAVID FOSTER--A popular and likeable chap is this Dave Foster. During his four years in high school, he has more than once had to explain to various faculty members how he happened to have the exact facsimile of the work turned in by his contemporary, Jimmie VVatson, or vice versa. It is Dave's ambition to become an aviator in the service of Uncle Sam. lie has only two weaknesses-mathematics and gals! CHARLOTTE FOX--In Charlotte we present a very demure brunette who seems to be very quiet. But underneath this mask we find a girl bubbling over with fun-the 'Kfoxy type. Charlotte is an Academic enrolee. Stamp col- lecting ranks first with her as a hobby. As a second choice, she prefers piano playing. Charlotte has a host of friends, who regard her as tops as a delightful acquaintance. DOROTHY FRANTZ-This happy-go-lucky young Miss winks at life with a mischievous eye. To have all the fun she can seems to he her main conception of life. HDottie's contagious giggle can be heard almost anywhere at any time. She's a devotee to things commercial and plans to take up stenography as her life's work. Concerning hobbies, K'Dottie gives the nod to reading and hiking. BETTY FREEDLINE-Betty is the very incarnation of efficiency. It is, without a doubt, a quality much to be admired. Her desire is to become a full-fledged secretary upon her graduation. Betty's leisure time interests center in music. She plays the piano very well and fully believes with Fred VVaring that 'fthe song is the thing. FREDA FREEMAN-This blonde young lady comes to us from the northern section of town. She, too, is enrolled in the Commercial Course. Her immediate desire is to take up nursing. Freda is very quiet, but this trait does not lessen her popularity. She has proven herself to be a worthwhile friend both in time of need and of pleasure. HONORA FREILER-Honora, better known to her ever-increasing circle of friends as Nora, is a jolly, up-and- coming girl. Such a sports fan we never saw, for she managed to attend each and every game, whether it was played in snow, rain, or out of town. A girl as faithful as she certainly should possess a promising outlook for all her future ambitions.

But he's right up there in school affairs, espe- cially when there's talking to be done. Since one is often judged by the company he keeps, we can say that Bob must be one of the finest. The Hi-Y and the Ili-S-Poli: Newspaper will lose a real spark-plug when he leaves the corridors of P. H. S. VVith a wish for his luck and prosperity, we salute the good-will philosopher of '39. VVARREN FULLER-Warren, an Industrial student, is one of the few quiet male members of the senior class. How- ever, VVarren is quiet only when ordinary conversation is involved. VVhen it comes to singing, he has a lot to 'fsay ! He has a very powerful, deep voice-a most valuable asset to the bass section of the A Cappella Choir. FRANCIS GAFFNEY-Red hair-temper? Well, in this case, red hair isn't accompanied by a flaring temper. At least he has kept it under control, for it has never reared its head in our presence. Although Francis has always been, more or less, a 'lsilent partner, there is inside information that there's more to him than meets the eye. Nevertheless, our best wishes for his chosen career go with him! FRANCIS GAINER--Francis is one of the bashful, good-looking boys in the class of '39. He is willing to cooperate to the fullest extent with all of his teachers, and, as a result, is well thought of by both teachers and students alike. He likes sports from the fan's point of view. All in all, we are proud to call him a friend. PAUL GLENN-During his four years in high school, Paul has taken the Industrial Course, showing special interest in machinebshop work. Although a quiet fellow in the classroom, he has plenty to say when in the company of his friends. Being athletically inclined, he enjoys most sports, particularly basketball and football. He has our best wishes for a successful future! THOMAS GOLDEN-The old adage, Words are women, deeds are men, might be applied to Tommy. But he certainly must be commended on the excellent work accomplished when he does get down to business. Tom proved a most able leader, having served in the capacity of officer in many organizations. He possesses an infectious good humor, and, thank goodness, is one person who can see a funny side to life. LESTER GOTTSCHALL-May we present the class's 'fharrel of funn? Therels never a dull moment when Les is around, especially when he's with his inseparable playmate, f'Bob. He swings it with the best of them, being a member of the Brigadiers. One thing which presents a mystery is why he can't get good grades. He does, we think, apply himself. Vi'e suggest a bit of J't'fflI!l5 thinking! lll l 'll llllllllllllllllllll lllll l ll . l , MARY GRIES-VVe'll say it with flowers to the little Miss who has accomplished quite a feat in the eyes of her classmates. She took four years of Latin and liked it! Showing superior ability, Mary was admitted to the National Honor Society in her senior year. Not many have been able to penetrate her quiet reserve, but we feel sure that she is a true friend. BERNICE HAINES- For she is just the quiet kind, whose nature never worries. Here is Miss Punctuality herself. Yes, sirree, she's always on time. Bernice puts everyone at ease with her slow, earnest, kind, sincere manner and ready smile. Always willing to help another, she is a sure cure for those gloomsl Madame Know-It-All-Hi-S'Potts predicts nothing but a glowing future for her. LESI.EY HALBERSTADT- Les is one of those amiable fellows who serves as a great lift when one has the blues. In thinking of him, we are reminded of the saying, Men are not measured by inches. llis light heart, cheery smile, and carefree manner will be missed from the halls of P. H. S. Vl'e add our wish that complete happiness and satisfaction be his always. FRANCIS HAMMER-Francis is another of these silent men who goes about his own business. He has been active on the cross-Country team for the last two years, In addition, he is never too busy to indulge in a bit of horseplay with the rest of his many close companions. Quiet, but very much alive - such is he. ALBERTA HANSMANN-Alberta is another member of the cheer-leading squad. Incidentally, since she has led songs, her future might lie in conducting an all-girl orchestra. VVe don't know her chosen Field, but we feel sure it will be one requiring plenty of pep and action. Her formula is I.10Gfi'I'3-S2H15. QI.aughs plus good times yield success and happiness.j VVe hope there are no explosions! JACK HARLEY-jack is a quiet fellow who takes great pleasure in tinkering with machinery, especially automo- biles. Driving a car seems to be his favorite diversion. He also takes a great interest in most athletics, particularly in baseball, a sport at which he excels. jack is a leader in his class in the Machine Shop. LEONARD HARNEY-f'Red is following in the footsteps of big brother - that of being an outstanding student in the Commercial Course. Everybody knows him for his ready smile that shines amid the freckles and red hair. He has many friends, both in his classes and around the school, and his quiet sincerity has netted him a wide circle of acquaintances.

VVe have heard that when he gets out with the boys there are all kinds of mischief afoot. A willing worker and a student of no mean repute, he can face the future with the satisfaction of having made a fine record in P. II. S. GLORIA IIAYNER-VVe are happy to have Gloria back with us. This young lady really has talent. Have you ever heard her play the accordion? Perhaps if you ask her in the right way, she might favor you with some of those grand selections. Dizzy finger your way through life, Gloria, and yours surely will be a harmonious one! CONSTANCE HEBLICH-Who was that Bashing by in such a brilliance of splendor? Oh, we see, it's Connie, that marvel of all dancers. VVe think it's so nice to be natural when you're naturally nice. May we have your secret, Mademoiselle? Connie was the topic of much amused conversation when she 'Kcame down with the chicken-pox, but don't worryg those who laugh last, laugh best. CLAIRE HELLER-Claire is a tall, bright-eyed miss, not easily forgotten. Her voice must always be gentle, for we've never heard it otherwise. She also designs many of her own garments for are we wrong?j. Always appearing refreshingly calm, she presents an example for the rest of us. During her senior year she was accepted as a home- maker and a most competent one, we are told. LOUISE HELMAN-Some writer must have had Louise in mind when he wrote, A splendid girl with a gentle voice. Her sunny disposition and cheery smile have certainly been an asset to such a charming personality. The very soul of reliability and truth, Sneezy is our idea of a real friend. She has been a very active member of the Phi Gamma Lambda, even though having been admitted in her senior year. ANNA MAE HESS-Attention, all prospective suitors! Here's a gal who is the very image of neatness. And can she cook! Ummmm! Anna is also experienced in all kitchen work, having very ably assisted in our own cafeteria. A real worker combined with a keen sense of responsibility is our Anna Mae. VVhat more could anyone ask? RICIIARD HESS-Upon entering our Opportunity School, Dick was a member of that club bearing the motto, Happy-go-lucky, fair, and free, nothing ever bothers me. But now, P. H. S. can well feel proud of him. He is considered a real student by his classmates. VVhen he concentrates f?j, he puts the generally accepted good student to shame. VVith his many witticisms and good humor he has won many friends. lull ll' tiii ll lllllllll W lllll llllllllll no lllllllllllllllll ELEANOR HILL-Jingle, jingle! Sleigh-bells? Of course not! It's just Eleanor walking down the hall with her new fang-dangled bracelet. Now here's a Miss with the modern idea of Why We Go to School. Upon our having ques- tioned her, she said, Never let your studies interfere with your education. So there! But she can always be depended upon for a good job at all times. JACK HIPP- Rah, rah, team, team, team! l Three cheers, Jack. You might pat yourself on the back and chalk up a few points for yourself. Except for your pep and leadership we could have lost the championship. They'll miss you next year, but then it's their loss and our gain. Sn let's have a short cheer for a long, satisfactory life. JEAN HOAK-VVith a smile here, a giggle there, and general good will everywhere, Jean is a good gloom chaser. Tell her your troubles, and y0u'll find they're only productive problems of the imagination. May we present her philosophy of life for didn't you kllow you had one of those things, Jeannie ?J: Never trouble trouble till trouble troubles you! Now, suppose you take a lcttern f?J. JACK HOLOHAN-That quiet, serious fellow with the blond hair whom you see about school is Jack Holohan. Although he has little to say, Jack makes up for it with worthy effort. He is usually seen behind the steering wheel of an auto. Perhaps this explains his liking for mechanics, particularly machinery. If he follows his natural bent, he will make a good mechanical engineer. STEVEN HOLAUCHOK-K'Steve is a very reliable chap. At least, his teachers think so, for it is a rare day in June that he is caught without the correct answer in the class room. Steve sits quietly, paying attention, and, when called upon, he is seldom wrong. However, he isn't any bump on the log, for Steve has a ready smile which makes him quite friendly. BERNIE HOLSTEIN-VVith a booming, thunderous Knot alwaysj voice, Bernie can usually be heard before he's seen. But A'thar's gold in them thar hills. In other words, there's much wisdom found rolling from his tongue. Possessing a keen sense of humor and a hearty laugh lwe think he'd make a good Santa Clausj, he has made many friends during his stay on The Hill. HAROLD HOLTZER-VVas that a hurricane? Oh, no! lt was only Harold out for a little track practice. Besides being a member of the P. H. S. track team, Harold is a good student. He likes sports more than studies and fre- quently demonstrates this fact in classes. However, it is safe to say that he is a typical American boy. Page 29 Ruth lloltzman Bilyllfll llostler Anna Julian Russel Keating Page 30 Mz1rj41l'ic Hood Doris llorning Susan l'Iruska Nlnrion jones Pluicida Jones Evelyn Joy joseph Ilughes George Ilummel blames Jennings Robert Johns RIITII lIOL'liZNl.XN- Quiet, sweet, without conceit aptly describes a very popular Miss of our class, She's at good student, an earliest and loyal worker, has an enviable personality -but then, we could go on forever describing 4'Ruthie. With a never-say-die spirit and a remarkable stick-to-it attitude, Ruth fairly exudes happiness in her every gesture. Hers is a distinct personality. B.-XYARD HOSTLER-Here is a member of our excellent gym team. Bayard has taken part in the exhibitions for the last several years and has proved himself to be quite a good gymnast. He is especially noted for his work on the horse. He also spends much of his time playing the harmonica, and, if reports are true, he must play very well - no horse play, either! MARJORIE HOOD-UMarge is one of our truly Hall-around girls. She is extremely popular and makes friends very readily. Being an outdoor girl, she is naturally interested in swimming, golf, and horse-back riding. Possessing a droll sense of humor, she affords much entertainment for her many friends. At dances she is a greatly desired partner. DORIS HORNING-'Doris is one of those girls who is often seen but seldom heard from. Everything she does, she strives to do with excellence. This little girl joined us in our sophomore year, and, although she has been here only three years, she has gained the respect and love of all who know her. She is learning the arts of typing and short- hand in the Commercial Course, and a very apt pupil she is. SUSAN HRIISKA-Susan is one of the more quiet girls of our class, but her quiet ways have won her many true friends. She is a good, efficient, and dependable student. No matter what she does, she does well. Nothing is ever too much for her. VVe predict a bright future for you, Susan, for a girl with such title qualities will triumph sooner or later. JOSEPH HUGIIES- Joe promises to be a very efficient business man. He has great ambitions and the ability to go ahead and do things for himself. Although he went to school every day, he spent most of his spare time working after school hours and on Saturdays. VVe are proud of you, Joe, and may your present progressive spirit alwfays be with you. GEORGE HUMMELiGeorge is another of our Shop boys. He has been a loyal booster of P. H. S. in general dur- ing his four years here, but most of his time and energy have been given to shop work. Though not acquainted with all of us, his intimate friends know him as an earliest and determined young man. Let George do it is undoubtedly , ll , l ., . ll II 'llll ll it ll ll U his motto. l ll ll ll l , 'll ll JAMES JENNINGS-james left school before the end of the term. In fact, we saw very little of him this year because of his having been absent so regularly. Ile did show an interest in vocational work on those days when he was among us. Should you desire to renew his acquaintance, drop in at the Farmer's Market, where he's actively engaged. ROBERT JOHNS- Bob once said, What I don't know would Fill the books of the Congressional Library, so he joined the Library Club, over which he has presided for four years. A love of fun and mischief makes him a favorite with everyone. Then, too, there's something about a trumpet player, especially when he appears in a brand new, classy uniform! 'Nuf said! MARION jONESfMarion is another of the quiet type. Although she is seldom heard from, she has acquired many friends during her high school stay. She is a member of the Library Club and spends much of her time doing her share in carrying out its functions. ller devotion to duty is most admirable. PLUICIDA JONES-A cheery smile, a rousing cheer-these make Pluicida's presence felt. This blonde girl can always be seen hurrying here and there, sometimes to her Commercial Classes and sometimes to meet her many friends. She may be seen at all sports events at home or away, for football, basketball, and volley hall are her chief interests. Vl'e trust that she'll continue her enthusiastic support in life's never-ending game. EVELYN JOY-Although Evelyn is quiet, she takes an interest in many things and can always be depended upon to do her part. She possesses a keen appreciation of and takes an intense delight in the finer things of life. In fact, her last name is indicative of all this. VVe believe that she subscribes fully to what Keats, the poet, said: A thing of beauty is a joy forever. ANNA jl'LlAN-llave you ever noticed Anna's beautiful black hair and how neatly her curls are fixed? ller ambition is to be a beauty culturist, and she is well suited for her chosen vocation because of the artistic touch that she has acquired. This vivacious young lady is liked by all her friends because of her most pleasing personality. RUSSEL KEATING-Russel's main ambition is to be an aviator. VVe wish him luck and hope that some day he will be a second lloward Hughes. He derives much pleasure from playing ice hockey. VVhile ice skating several months ago he was seen to be laughing incessantly. VVhen asked the reason for all the hilarity, he replied that the ice was continually making funny cracks! Faye 31 Marjorie Kehler Edith Keller Josephine Kusilavage John Kucllak Page 32 John Kelly Ethel Kelly Edith Kemfort Doris Knebel AAIIIIZI Krizon Robert Krohmer Jett Kemfort Florence Kilmurrny John Klemer Mary Louise Klitsch NIARJORIE KEHLER- She is pretty to walk with, witty to talk with, and pleasant, too, to think on - such is Marjorie. Our editor-in-chief is an idealist rather than a realist. Her thoughts often dwell in the realm of the make-believe. She is primarily interested in endeavoring to make right that which is wrong wherever that wrong may exist. Marjorie, our hats are off to you! EDITH KELLER-She doesn't talk often, but she talks muchg and once you get her started, you can't stop her. She is capable of inaugurating a good time anywhere-and frequently does. Edith is ever cheerful. The sound of her laughter reaches one before she, herself, appears. She took particular delight in driving her friends to the football games. JOHN KELLY-It is very easy to distinguish John from the rest of the class of '39, for he is its tallest member, Besides being tall, he has a rich tenor voice and has been a faithful member of the A Cappella Choir and Ensemble during the two years he has been with us. He can be seen every morning providing ballast for Mr. Breslin's Pontiac on their pilgrimage from New Philadelphia. ETHEI. KELLY-The Bard of Avon certainly knew what he was writing about when he wrote, Her voice was ever soft, gentle, and low-- an excellent thing in woman. Our Ethel is the possessor of such a voice. Her presence is like a ray of sunshine in that she brings joy and banishes gloom, so 'firiail to thee, blythe spirit! EDITH KEMFORT-Edith's interest is in stenographic work and its allies. She expects to continue her business education at the Peirce School of Business. Although she did not belong to any of the musical organizations, her favorite hobby is listening to music. VVe don't know why she is secreting this interest. Maybe it's her intention to surprise us some day. ,IETT KEMFORT-Jett is a very quiet member of our group. ln fact, we believe that he has never- well, hardly ever? -been censured for talking during a class session. Although we are not aware of that which jett has chosen for his life's work, we hope that he will experience good fortune and happiness. That's :olnf comfort, isnlt it, Mr. Kemfort? FLORENCE KILMURRAY- A silent tongue and a truthful heart are the most admirable things on earth, 'tis said. VVe know that Florence possesses the former and have every reason to believe that the second admirable thing most assuredly is hers. These two qualities are extremely helpful in buffeting any storm which life may brew. Our best wishes go with you, Florence. llll l W ll JOHN KLEMER--Are you listenin'? Lookg he holds a trumpet whence he blows soul-animating strains! Yes, my brass instrument devotees, he's the real McCoy! Mr. Minnichbach tells us that his place in the band will be most difficult to fill. jack's scholastic efforts may be summed up thus: he's not afraid to workg it's just that he isn't in sympathy with it. MARY LOUISE KLITSCH-Mary Louise is one of the nicest girls we know. She is very reserved, but that does not hinder her from being highly regarded by her associates, Studious and ambitious, Mary Louise will always prove an asset to her school and classmates. Although she does not participate in many sports, she can always be depended upon to contribute in supplying that spiritual encouragement in the form of lusty cheering. DORIS KNEBEI.- Such as hang on Hehe's cheek, and love to live in dimple sleek 4 thus wrote the poet Milton. And what devastating dimples Doris displays! She surely is Mirth personihed. Doris' chief desire is not only to own an airplane, but to pilot it herself. Here she comes, there she goes - Gone VVith the VVind! ANNA KRIZON--Although Attila may appear to be quiet, she is really the opposite when one gets to know her. She is a very active member of the Home Economics Club, and this year she had the honor of serving in the capacity of secretary to that organization. May the knowledge she gained here serve her well in solving the many problems life offers. ROBERT KROHMER-'fBooks! 'Tis a dull and endless strife - in this feeling Gummy and the poet VVords- worth see eye to eye. CThe eyes must have itll f'Bob has inclinations of a mechanical nature. Dame Rumor has it that he 'lbuilt a Diesel engine down in the machine shop-or have we been misinformed? This chap is also a long-distance driver and a practical joker. JOSEPIIINE KUSILAVAGE- jo gives much promise of becoming a top-notch stenographer. lt appears that her toes are equally as nimble as her fingers, for she certainly can trip it on the light fantastic. Evidently, any cares which she might have are lightly danced away. VVe hope she may ever retain this not-too-serious attitude. JOHN KCDLAK-Kudlak didn't have to fly a kite as Ben Franklin did to learn all about electricity. john knows everything concerning circuits, shocks, and what else there is to know. Let me play the fool seems to he his motiv- ating desire when not experimenting with the juice, for how this lad loves to play!

He is ever willing to do what he can-a quality much to be admired in any person. Evert though he seems a bit shy, he is always well received by his associates. His talents are of a mechanical nature. Electrical work is his specialty. ANGELINE LASCALA- Angie is our bundle of charm. A more fun-loving, active, bright-eyed young Miss is nowhere to be found. Still, none of her vitality is lost. She is a keen supporter of many school activities and is an excellent gymnast. Her name is on the role of the Phi Gamma Lambda, the Dramatic Club, and the S. A. B. The twinkle in her eye will get her by. VIRGINIA LAVVHEAD-Virginia is a born leader in every sense of the word. This ability to take hold and lead seems to run in the family, and Ginnie is no exception. No task is too trivial for her keenest attention. Where, may we ask, is there worthwhile activity in which she is not represented? However, studies do not suffer, for she ranks near the top of her class. She, with Menander, believes that Education is a possssion that none can take away. BETTE LEAMAN-What have we here? A future poet? Bette certainly made a good attempt with one of our football songs. Perhaps some day we'll read the poems of our classmate. Bette is also active in work at the Y. VV. C. A. She is very fond of making candy-particularly chocolate fudge. Quite appropriately, she is a member of the Home Economics Club. MARY LENGEL-VVhatever would we do without our Home Economics girls? Mary is one of these, and a good one, too! She's a keen booster of all P. II. S. activities and is vitally interested in church work. Singing seems to be one of her chief delights, and she does her part in both the A Cappella Choir and the church choir. Merry is the word for Mary! MILDRI-ID LENGEI,-VVhoever wrote Silence is a woman's true adornrm-nt must have had Mildred for an inspi- ration. Yes, quiet she is and equally as pleasant, for seldom do we see her without her sunny smile. Ambition, diligence, and dependability are a few of her most outstanding trails. Need more be said in praise of one whose qualities speak for themselves? DOROTHY I,E'I'CI-IER- Dot is another of our many classmates who subscribes to either be silent or speak words that are better than silence. VVe've found that the longer one knows her, the better he likes her. Perhaps beneath that calm there shines a brilliant light, for her closest friends tell us she's loads of fun. Her athletic interest centers in football and basketball. ll ll , l ., ll ll , ll l l lllllllllllllllllll.. ll ll U VI'Il.I.I.-XM LEYVIS-Here is the boy who usually wears a big grin and bursts forth with a cheery Hello, for Bill rejoices in joyous things. Ilis cheerfulness is contagious. Happiness to him! VVelcome! Farewell! Go in peace, and may Lady I.uck attend you! EVELYN LIGHTCAP-- Eve is a delightfully cheerful girl. Her pep and individuality have won her many friends. She is not particularly interested in the numerous school activities, but is a willing worker whenever called upon. Evelyn is a devotee of swimming, horse-back riding, and dancing. She is well on her way to mastery of all three-particularly dancing. May her cares always be light ones! JEAN LLOYD-VVas that a giggle? Could it he jean Lloyd? Yes, we thought so. In fact, she's shaking with laughter as usual. I.ife certainly is a 'Lbowl of cherries for her. She even enjoys boys' sports and all kinds of mischief. At least, so we are told. Next year she hopes to attend Pettit State Center to prepare for the teaching pro- fession. VVILLARD LONG-- If anyone begins his task well, it is likely that the end, too, will be good. So said Sophocles. VYe are of the opinion that this is VVillard's belief, also, for he certainly has bt-gun well. He is interested in art, music, and the many extra-curricular activities our school has to offer. May his satisfaction in these ever be complete. RYLAND LORD-Did you see that red and white-shall we say car?-go by? That's Ryland Lord with his trusty P. ll. S. rooters. And they don't seem to be afraid to ride with him, either. VVe've heard that before the crate starts, Ryland turns to his passengers and says, Have no fear, the 'Lord' is with youll! lIe is one of the best dressed boys in P, II. S., and 'tis said that he even sets the pace for college styles. IIELEN LOTZA-Helen is a student, a dancer, a sports fan, and a fun-loving girl. l I,otz to Helen, isn't there?J Perhaps lessons aren't the most pleasant things in life, but she does them-and rather well, too. She is a member of Phi Gamma Lambda and the Verse Choir. This proves she is a good speaker in school as well as outside. ,IUSEPHINE 1.0'I'Z- The way to have a friend is to be one. jo certainly fulfills this ancient proverb, for she is one of the most amiable girls in our midst. According to our observation, her two chief delights are driving a car and -of all things-talking. Yes, we're sure, had Macaulay known her, he would have said that she has a morbid propensity for talking. But even that's no crime, is it, jo ? Page 35 Huclis Lovit Seth Lowe ,lost-ph Meta Edith Mills Page 36 Doris MZlL'KlIlI10ll George Mnjeskie Dolores Malkely Tom Maurer Bette McLauriu lklarie Meiswinkle George Nfxllsou Fdwzlrcl Martin Kay Martin Doris Marty HADIS LOVIT-Although Hadis is as quiet as the proverbial church mouse, she is one of the most sincere girls in our class. She would go to most any extreme to help someone. Though not athletically inclined, she is quite energetic in any task which she undertakes. It seems that her modesty is an asset rather than a liability. Her last name is suggestive of her personality. SETH LOVVE-VVhat an unusual, yet unique name! It's distinguished, too, for Columbia I'niversity has its Seth Lowe Law School, and New York City had a mayor who bore the same name as our subject. Our own Seth has dis- tinguished himself in sports. It is, in a large measure, because of his spirited playing that the Auto Shop boys have won such an enviable record in their intra-shop league. DORIS MACKINNON-Doris is of Scotch descent. She is a red head, but, as far as we know, she does not have the characteristic fiery temper. On the contrary, she is rather quiet and very fond of reading-especially poetry. CBet Robert Burns is her favorite poet. VVanna bet?j She is very neat in appearance, is a heads-up student, and is well liked. GEORGE MAJESKIE-If you are in need of a good trumpeter, don't overlook George. Ile has been one of the most potent and best players in our band. On trips George was known as the boy who kept things moving. He also possesses much scholastic ability, having been regularly included on the Honor Roll. Let George do it isnlt his attitude- or is it? DOLORES MAKELY-Dolores, even though her name has an altogether different connotation, is one of the gayest persons around our school. She is very well known and can seldom be seen without a group of fun-loving friends. ller pep and vitality have made her a desirable cheer leader. VVhatever the call, Dolores is always ready for action. She rarely misses any P. H. S. athletic activities. GEORGE MALSON-VVe herewith present an embryo airplane mechanic. President Roosevelt's recent call for addi- tional youths to become airmen and mechanics certainly must have been received most enthusiastically by George. He spends much of his time out of school toward the realization of this worthy ambition. Girls don't seem to bother him. Perhaps that's why he has turned to mechanics. He is of VVelsh descent. EDVVARD MARTIN-Martin is another commuter, for Palo Alto claims him as her very own. His interests are mechanical rather than academic. VVe leave with Ed this morsel of truth: Attempt the end and never stand in doubt, nothing's so hard, but search will find it out. l W l lltt KAY MARTIN- A voice gentle and low is a come-ly thing in a woman. Look at her. Does she not look as if she were made only to laugh and dance and sing? But she will tell you that life was made for more serious things. A student? Yes, her record verifies it. Kay is one of whom all of us are proud. DORIS MARTY- Earth has no beauty that compares with the grace of a happy heart. lf one can judge from outward appearances, Doris certainly is the fortunate possessor of a happy heart. May this capacity for being joyful ever be with her. She was most active as a member of the National Honor Society, the S. A. B., and the Phi Gamma lambda. TOM MAURER-We present Gene Krupa Maurer. If Tom were to express his feelings in words, he'd probably say something like this: 1 love musicg it is my life. VVhy am l expected to be content and settled? l.et me beat it out, beat it out! Truly, we hope that he will be able to drum up whatever his chief desire in life is. BETTE MCLAURIN-Though this bonnie Scotch lass may seem quite reserved, she is really full of lnerriment and bubbling over with fun. One of her main interests is in athletics, as is evident by the fact that she holds an executive position in the Senior Athletic Boosters Club. No one knows what would happen if persons such as Bette ceased to inhabit the world. MARIE MEISVVINKLE-VVhat more can one desire than a winning smile, a pleasing disposition, and a creditable ambition? Marie has all of these. Her air, her manners, all who saw admired. Courteous though coy, gentle though retired, the joy of youth and health her eyes displayedg and ease of heart her every look conveyed. She has shown an interest in literary and newspaper work. JOSEPH META- jo is our dark-complexioned friend from the extreme end of Mt. Carbon. VVhat a trek to school every day! He's rather quiet in the classroom but most boisterous when among his pals. CVVho isn't?j His neatness is one of his more favorable qualities, and his favorite sport is the great American game- baseball. EDl'l'll MILLS-Edith is interested in things commercial. Some day she hopes to be a stenographer. She is another of our timid girls and has a tendency to stick rather close to her own group of friends. She is not particularly inter- ested in many extra-curricular activities. However, she does show a keen interest in volley ball, a game in which she excels.

VVliy do we live or die? VVho knows that secret deep? Alas, not I Elinore hasn't made the above statement to us, but from our observation we feel that those words really express her innermost thoughts. At any rate, Elinore, don't take things too seriously. RITTH MILLS-Ruth, another of the many whose major interest is in the Commercial Course, is a reserved young lady. Most of her leisure time is spent in reading, for she believes that books are her silent servants. Throughout her four years in high school she has been a conscientious student. She plans to attend a business school, where she'll continue her preparation for this business of making a living. CHARLES MILLER- Charlie's usual hangout is on the second floor. Reason? VVell, he's a Commercial student, so that's where he is supposed to be. He hasn't played a major role on our school-life stage, but his own peculiar position among the student body is a well-earned and deserving one. VVe trust that he has made a large number of worthwhile acquaintances while he was among us. AMELIA MINCHOFF-We've tried to get some inside information on Amelia, but it seems to be the general concensus of opinion that she's just a quiet girl. But then, it is better to be of service than to be conspicuous. Com- ment must be made of her earnest application to her studies. She appears to know what she wants and is striving for it. LILLIAN MONTAG-Lillian is the possessor of a pleasing smile set off by lovely dimples. She has done well in her scholastic work, which was her chief concern. Her secondary interests center in athletics. In fact, she participates in practically all sports offered to girls. Lillian derives exercise and pleasure from swimming and dancing. Socially, she's enrolled in the Tri-Hi-Y. LEO MORREL- Gie me a pair o' dancing shoes, then 'Bye, bye Blues' l Here he is - the best dancer, most jittery jitterbug, and our all-around dandy. VVe venture to say that so far as dancing is concerned, there is no one among us who even comes close to this whirling dervish. In addition, he's a student, a singer, and an actor of no mean ability. MARION MORTIMER-Marion is a member of that already famous, though rather new, Verse Choir. She possesses a very sweet soprano voice. VVe .recall this quotation which describes her in a nutshell: It is better to be small and shine than to be great and cast a shadow. She is quiet, determined, and moves unerringly toward a goal which we feel she has set for herself. l ll l llllllll ll l l W ll DOROTHY MOSER-UDottie very quietly but definitely has wended her way into the hearts of many. Both in her manner and speech she has that charm of graciousness which will surely work wonders. Truly, Oh lady, nobility is thine, and thy face is the reflection of thy nature applies, in its fullest meaning, to Dorothy. NAOMI MOSER- If I were to grow up I'd lose my indivdiuality, and, Allah, where am I to find it again among the children of men! VVhat a brilliant performance Naomi gave in Don't Ever Grow Up! Her classmates are confident that with the whole world as the stage, she will continue to perform just as superbly in her role as a nurse - her chosen vocation. EDVVARD MULROY- Eddy is one of those quiet, likeable chaps always ready to help. More than that, he is a hard-working artist and a leader about the school. 'fEd has always been very active, but this year he outdid him- self. He is a rnemher of this year's Annual staff, the Sketch Club, and the Tau Kappa Delta Society. And from what can he observed, he's an integral part of the Pottsville Journal personnel. HELEN NOCKET-Helen comes to us from Schoentown and is one who doesn't revolt at rising early and traveling a long distance to go to school. At first glance she appears to be quiet and shy, but her closest associates know her to be loads of fun. Helen is an excellent Commercial student and will make a first-rate secretary. VVe feel that her willingness to do will hear worthwhile dividends in life's investment. THEODORE PAPISH-His conversation is brief, and his desire is to be silent- just a moment! Tha-re's something decadent in Copenhagen, for the above statement suggests just the opposite so far as Ted is concerned. VVe believe that the room in our school with which he is tnost familiar is the detention room. Bet he'll be missed there! HAZEI. PARSONS-Hazel's ambition is to become an efhcient secretary. VVe hope she attains this objective, for certainly her happiness will lie in doing that which finds favor with her. Hazel has been active in the work of the Girl Reserves and has belonged to the Tri4Hi-Y since she was a lowly frosh. AI.BER'I'A PENKAITSKAS-Butler says, For brevity is very good, when we are, or are not, understood. Alberta believes in being brief. VVhether or not we capture the full signihcance of that brevity is another thing. The popular song, Us on a Bus must strike a responsive Chord in her, for she busses in from Seltzer City every day. Page 39 Helen Petrosky Anne Pflneger Virginia Reber Dorsey Redwine Page 40 Leah Philips Miriam Pines Loretta Pollack Fern lane Raetz Margaret Ran Leiper Read VVillium Pulte Richard Pugh Loretta Purcell George Quin HELEN PETROSKY-UCharm strikes the sight, but merit wins the soul. Helen possesses both charm and merit- what excellent qualities in a girl! She retains that ruddy complexion by virtue of her having hoofed it from Hill- side to and from school every day. ln passing, llelen, your invaluable assistance to the Annual staff merits a bow from the waist, which each member gives you. ANNE PFLUEGER--Anne is of the Vivacious type and is interested in outdoor sports, especially swimming. She has also been active in archery and the game of volley ball. She is going to prepare for the nursing profession, so her interest in chemistry is no passing fancy. Anne is also a dependable member of the Tri-Hi-Y. Before having come to P. H. S., she was a reporter on the St. Patrick's High School paper. LEAH PHILIPS-It appears to us that Leah's feeling concerning school work could he summed up in these words: I strove with none, for none was worth my strife.'l Or is our observation wrong? I.eah plans to enter the secre- tarial field upon leaving high school. The Phi Gamma Lambda listed her as one of its members. MIRIAM PINES-Miriam is definitely of the opinion that clothes make the man-or woman, for her principal desire is to design clothes. It is altogether likely that our Miriam may some day dictate what milady and the well! dressed man will wear! All of us are slaves of fashion, so don't make too many radical changes, Miriam! LOREI IA POLLACK-Someone has said that a pleasing countenance is a silent recommendation. VVe direct your attention to Loretta's photograph. It surely bespeaks one of the highest recommendations for her. Reading maketh a full man, wrote Francis Bacon. Loretta is of the same opinion, for much of her time is spent with books. VVILLIAM POTTS- Bill's little, but there's a lot to him. He is quite versatile. Not only is he a singer of no mean repute, but he also displays business acumen in that he is the efficient manager of our track squad. We don't know whether Bill enjoys the game of post office, but we do know that his highest hope lies in becoming a post- master. Drop us a line some time! RICHARD PUGH- A man am I grown, a man's work must I do is the way Dick feels. And he's interested in a man-sized job-hotel management. tHe even confided in us that he'd be willing-but doesn't prefer-to start as a janitor. VVell, that's what Gareth did, Dick. Remember?j This chap is also fond of sketching, dancing, and stamp collecting. lllll l llllllllllllllllll lll , lllll lllll ll llllllllllll.. t ll ml LORETTA PURCELL- Here a smile, there a smile, everywhere a smile, smile - and we don't mean Uld lVIcDon- aldg we mean our Loretta. She is a combination of stenographer, athlete, and athletic fan. Loretta, too, is a faithful working member of the S. A. B. Hats off to someone who has found that it is best to Hkeep the sunny side up and hide the side that gets blue. GEORGE QIIIN-Mix some scholastic ability, a little dancing, a little music, the qualities of a gentleman, the ability and willingness to work, boil well, then sprinkle with quite a bit of wit, and lo and behold, you have George. He is our very efficient assistant business manager on the Hi-S-Poli.: Annual staff. In this capacity and in classes we have all found him to possess what it takes. lncidentally, ask him for his own rendition of John Anderson, My -lo ! FERN JANE RAETZ-Fern Rat-tz Qratesl with this class. She hails from the East Sidef a fact of which all East Siders are proud. She is one of those Believe It or Not women who know when to talk and when nut to talk. Fern thinks art is 'I'lIE thing and spends quite a bit of her time drawing, so lots of luck in the dabbing profession, Fern l MARGARET RAI!-Bethlehem lost, and we gained when Margaret came to us in our freshman year. She likes to dance, and fbots, lake note! lj she makes some of her own clothes. ller chief club interest lies in the Y. VV. C. A., where she was rt-ally a worker during her high school years. VI'hatever her ambition may be, we hope she will attain it. LEIPER READ-llere is another of the blond men of our class. Many of us have not known him personally, but those who have know he's tops. lf you want to talk about exceptional abilities, tune in on Station VVXRZK, for Leiper has built, owns, and operates his own licensed radio station, and it really works! VVhen a fellow can do that, he can do anything! VIRGINIA REBER-A Hash, a smile-that's Ginnie. VVhether in a class, at a dance, a football game, or a basketball game, that smile is bound to pop up. Virginia is a Phi Gamma Lambda girl. l.iving up to the high stand- artls of that organization is another reason why her many, many girl and boy CP! friends pass with a Hi, Ginnie. DORSEY REDVVINE-Shels a quiet, active worker. It takes a lot to he a leader, but Dorsey proves her worth as president of the llobby Club at the Lincoln House. She is also a member of the Current Events Club and the Home Economies Club. Her favorite game is cards, and we hope she is unlucky Cyou know- lucky in cards, unlucky in lovel. In everything else -success! Page 41 I.2ll,OI'1lIl Reifa11yde1' Betty Rc-i11h:11't Joseph Sage Betty S:111111le1's Page' 42 Karl Rhoades Gloria Rich I,:1111'c-tm RiCha1'clso11 Pearl Russel Olin- Rflilllll Virginia! Suckea 'lllwoclore Ritcl111Cli lrma Rizzurcli C2llYl'lLl Roclgers Jennie Romano LADORAN REIFSNYDER-Here is a girl who is as exceptional as her name - exceptional in the way that she seems to be at a half dozen places at once-exceptional in her almost countless number of friends. But just ask a tiny favor, and you will find that she is both swell and a regular guy. So, a toast to LaDoran. IKETTY REINHART-We don't know just what to say about Betty, for one report says she is quiet and conserva- tive and another says she is the life of the party. Consequently, we have COIHC to the conclusion that Betty knows how to suit the occasion. One report, though, is the same from all sources. It is that Betty is a friend really worth having, KARL RHOADES-Advertising copy editor is the full and rather lengthy title of the position which he holds on the Newspaper staff. It is not unusual to see Karl rushing hither and yon a few days before an edition of the Hi-S-Potts is printed. Dependable and reliable, Karl has worked hard to attain this position. He carries out his duties to the minute detail and at the same time maintains a good scholastic standing. VVe have great hopes for his future. GLORIA RICH--A quiet girl? Definitely yes - until one becomes acquainted with her. Then she blossoms forth with dry wit and good humor. Gloria always enjoys having a good laugh. Her ability to argue and her invincible spirit in not yielding her point until she is proven wrong are outstanding characteristics. She is a wide-awake member of the Current Events Club. May she ever be rich - not only in name, but in all the better things life has to offer. LAURETTA RICHARDSON-This young Miss entered our school in the middle of the junior year, having come from neighboring Frackville. A conscientious student and a pleasing manner characterize her. I.auretta's cheerfulness and gaiety are catchy. Her favorite hobbies are roller skating and swimming. Such an avid interest in these and similar activities bespeaks a wholesome personality. THEODORE RITCHUCK- Ted is one of the silent men about the school, yet to those with whom he comes in contact, he is well known and liked. f'Ted has earned the reputation of a hard-working Commercial student and has duplicated this feat in the other classes and activities. Truly, he has been a worthy addition to the class of '39. IRMA RIZZARDI-Irma is the proud possessor of a happy-go-lucky nature. Her fun-loving spirit makes her more valuable in the estimation of her friends. A good time is had by all whenever Irma is present with her dry wit and sharp humor. VVherever there is a game of basketball, hockey, or volley ball, one is sure to find Irma, for sports are her hobby. I'Iere's to Irma. May she do well wherever her efforts are directed! lllll ll llllll lllll ll I. .I I , l ll ll l lll ll ll ll Il ll lll CALMA RODGERS- Peppy is the right word for Calma, who seems to possess abundant energy. Her enjoyment of roller skating proves this. A great lover of music, Calma thoroughly likes to sing. This accomplished young lady also plays the piano as well as the guitar. Her sole ambition is to become a stenographer. The constant clicking of the typewriter keys must be music to her ears. JENNIE ROMANO-Combine flaming red hair with black, piercing eyes and the result is an attractive young .rag- azzo-namely, Jennie. Although not very active in outside activities, she dues take more than a casual interest in dancing. It is nothing unusual to see Jennie doing the latest steps in the girls' gym at noon. She has good looks and a pleasing personality. VVhat more could a girl ask for? PEARL RITSSEL-Although Pearl may seem quiet and reserved, all her friends say that she sheds this reserved cloak when she is with her acquaintances. During her four years in Pottsville High School, Pearl has always been reliable. Reading occupies a considerable portion of her leisure time. VVilh these admirable qualities we know that Pearl will do well in her chosen vocation. OLIVE RYLAND-This space is too small to give full credit to Olive, who holds the office of secretary of the Phi Gamma Lambda. She has fulfilled these duties as only Olive can. Her love of books has created within her the desire to become a librarian. VVe already imagine that we can hear her, in a Hrm voice, say, I'm sorry, sir, but your book is overdue. Twenty-five cents, please. VIRGINIA SACKS--The title to the popular song, Simple and Sweet, describes Virginia to perfection. Ginnie, with the radiant personality and sunny smile, always has a cheery greeting for everyone. With these many charms she has endeared herself to all. She has been a conscientious student throughout her four years, always having done her level best. Armed with these meritable qualities, Virginia will surely continue to go forward in her own quiet way. JOSEPH SAGE-Our romantic quarterback and basketball player is as fond of girls as he is of sports, but is it any wonder? joe is a Hashy sort of person, whether it be concerned with sports, girls, or clothes. We find him to be quite industrious --in fact, even Usage. Herels hoping he'll translate his sports spirit into the game of life. BETTY SAUNDERS-Betty, a very quiet and studious girl, is the president of our newly formed Home Economics Club. And, fellows, since economy means wise management -well, 'nuff said! Bet blonde Betty can bake some tasty Brown Ht-ttys! VVe hope that she excels in all of her gustatory and savory endeavors.

They, in turn, helped him all winter while he was hobbling around with a broken ankle. To those who do not know him, he appears to be a rather quiet fellow. As for those who do-well, he's as much fun and as energetic as a circus clown. No foolin'! MARIAN SCHAPPELL-Although Marian is very quiet and studious, she, at the same time, was active in outside activities, having belonged to the Home Economics Club and also the Tri-Hi-Y. Marian has proved to be a faithful booster of Pottsville High sports, as have most of the seniors. VVe hope she may always do well. HERBERT SCHATTMAN-In Schattman we present the odd fellow of the class of '39. Believe it or not, he's a fellow whose likes and dislikes are the same. Herbie agrees with Francis Bacon in that Hto spend too much time in study is sloth. By the same token, he disagrees with Carlyle, who believed that work is worship. VVhat a guy Herbie is! VVILLI 'E - ' ' ' - ' ' ' AM SCHE RER Viell, if it isn t our handsome friend, Scheerer. He possesses personality plus, is an all-around athlete, and does he wow the girls! Yes, it is just our modest Bill, who would never let a friend down, who is a devoted member of the T. K. D., and who, we are sure, promises to be a well-known figure for years to come. ROSE SCIIIFF-Rose has a heart as sound as a bellg her tongue is the clapper. What her heart thinks, her tongue speaks-and how that tongue wags! Rose is at her best when piloting that Ford around the county. No back-seat driver is she! She doesn't have to take a back seat when the business at hand is of a commercial nature, either. MARX' RITA SCHLITZER- For she is wise, if I can judge of herg and fair she is, if that mine eyes be true - truly, VVill Shakespeare must have had such a girl as Mary Rita in mind when he wrote these lines. Mary certainly does her share in endeavoring to make this world a more cheerful and worthwhile place in which to live. May her cup of joy ever continue to overliovv! AGNES SCHOENAUER-This young lady is one of the co-editors of our Newspaper. Although much responsibility rests upon her shoulders, Agnes never shifts it. She's reliability personified. Then, too, she is among those present when it comes to scholastic ability, for her record is a most creditable one. May it always maintain such a high position! ll I ll v I ll l l llllllllllllllllllll .. ttlllll 4 l rllllllllllllll,..,,,l. lf MARY SCHOENFELDER-Mary, as we know her around school, is very friendly and quiet. However, when school is dismissed for the day, we find an entirely new girl -one high in spirits and still higher in oustide activities. An ardent booster of our many sports is Mary. She holds in check her enthusiasm, but that doesn't mean that it isn't so robust as the more boisterous type. CLARA SCIIOFFSTALI.-Students, meet Clara, who is one of the most reliable students the class of '39 has to offer. VVhen Clara has work to do, she goes about it in a quiet, serious way. Her accomplishments and friends are num- erous. She is soft-spoken but always ready to help a friend in need. In her own quiet way we know she will reach the top. FRANCIS SEIBERLING--This is one time that 'fCy is not late, probably because it is an impossibility. Cyn has been a student in the Commercial Department during the four years he has been with us. He is athletically inclined, football being his main love. Cy's hobby is stamp collecting. As a sideline he chooses girls. Vilonder if he gives them a Uline l His friendly attitude has won him many friends in P. H. S. VVILLIAM SEITZINGER- Music hath charms, says Bill. Though it be little known, Bill is quite a musi- cian. He may have a voice like a fog-horn, but this is off-set by the fact that he can make an accordion do everything but talk. Bill is a student in the Vocational Course and really takes an interest in his work. He is serious'y consid- ering the developing of his musical abilities after graduation. ELIZABETH SEYMOUR-K'Betty is a loyal booster of all P. H. S. activities. Her motto seems to be, VVhere the action is greatest, there will I be also. 'fBetty,!' we understand, is also quite a talker. More power to you, 'fBetty ! VVhere would the prestige of this marvelous school be if there were no girls like I-Betty to make known its glory to the world in general! FLORENCE SHEELER-We find Florence hailing from Seltzer City or Treasure Island, as the inhabitants call it. She has proved to be a really delightful friend to have and is always ready to tackle anything. Florence is also one of our charming blondes. She is fond of sports and a sincere booster of P. H. S. teams, especially football and basketball. MARION SHOLLENBERGER-Always ready for a good time and always willing to help a friend out of difficulty is Marion or Peggy, as she is known to her friends. Marion is a cheerful companion. To her nothing is so wrong that it cannot be righted. Her pleasing attitude toward people and life in general have won for her the admiration of many. Page 45 Lewis Schultz Rose Sidellzt Marjorie Snyder Ruth Snyder Pagt' 46 Carrie Simon Chester Smith Dorothy' Smith William Smyth Doris Snyder Joseph Snyder ,lean Smith Juno Smith Thomufz Smith Vllillinm Smith LEVVIS SCHITLTZ-I.ewis hails from Port Carbon, and, naturally, he must have some means of transportation to our fair city. Therefore, when you see a big, gray Franklin pulling up, you immediately know who it is. For who else would bring a crowd of students with him as this good-natured fellow does? His heart seems to be as big as his car-- always room for one more! ROSE SIDELLA-Rose comes from a suburb of Pottsville known as Schoentown. She has an enviable record of not once having been late fa lesson for many of usll. In her freshman year, Rose played the violin in the orchestra, but she soon took over the important post of bull Hddler.

Her cheery smile and friendly greeting will be sorely missed. She typifies her namesake in the play, Valiant Is the Word for Carrie. CARRIE SINTON-Carrie may seem to be a lady of few words, but she probably can hold her own if the need 1 CHESTER SMITH-He's tall, light, and handsome. At first sight Ches creates quite a stir in the hearts of many girls. He seems ,rather quiet until you know him well enough, at which time he proves to be the life of the party. He is truly a fine fellowg in addition, he is indeed a friend in time of need. DOROTHY SMITH- Dot is another product of the Commercial Course. This fact makes one think that she, like many others, would choose to be a private secretary to some famous lawyer or some popular business many however, Dot does not select this occupation for her life's work. Her ambition is to become a nurse, then Dot, a very attractive girl, will probably always be in demand by the opposite sex because of her winning disposition. JEAN SMITH-jean has the remarkable ability of mixing extra-curricular activities with studies. During her four years in high school, not only has she appeared on the Honor Roll with an A average, but she also has been active in various school activities. The success of the Hi-S-Pail: Newspaper for the past two years has been due largely to her untiring efforts as associate business manager. JUNE SMITH-just another Smith? This may be true in some cases but not in June's. She possesses much individ- uality, which accounts for her popularity among her fellow students. She has a keen sense of humor, thus making her welcome at any social gathering to pep things up. She has been an active member of the Tri-lli-Y and was honored with the post of secretary during her senior year. 1 ll ll . ll 'll' l ll II l ll ll l lll THOMAS SMl'l'H- Torn is the happy-go-lucky type of fellow. lle is not inclined to take things ltltl seriously, especially when it comes down to school studies, however, he somehow always manages to get by. He is quite pop- ular among the fair sex due very much to his reputation as a good dancer. Perhaps he will be a second Fred Astaire. VVILLIAM SMITH-Here comes the band! You are always able to hear that beater, Bill, the drummer boy, above the rest of the oand. Perhaps he is a second Sammy Kaye in the making and will some day be the leader of a famous orchestra. VVe are quite sure that his ever-ready wit will aid him greatly in any type of work that he may enter after his departure from our midst. YVILLIAM SMYTH-llats off, classmates, for now we present the pride of our '39 staff-one who has been bur- dened with the heaviest load of all. Bill, with his nonchalant, carefree attitude, coupled with an amazing dry humor and deep sense of loyalty, has carried out his duties as business manager with the same true hard-working spirit which has won him honorable recognition among his classmates. May good fortune be his! DORIS SNYDER- Short and sweet. This can in every sense be applied to Doris. She is short in stature and pos-- sesses a most delightful personality. During her senior year she did a very splendid job as secretary of the Student Council when she was the First secretary to introduce the informal minutes which abolished those boring ones. jOSEPll SNYDERiIf we were able to foretell the future we might tell you that some day Joe would be found in one of our large cities as the director of a well-known advertising establishrnentg but we can't be sure, and no one knows. Although the future is IIOI always clear, we would logically think that such would be the future of a boy who has displayed unusual leanings toward and aptitudes for art. MARj0RlE SNYDER- Margie has contributed much to the musical groups of P. H. S. during her fourayear stay within its corridors. She has been a member of the Symphony Orchestra, A Cappella Choir, and the Ensembleg she has also shown excellent ability in scholastic circles. She especially excels in typing. The Annual staff very greatly appreciates the work she has done as typist. RUTH SNYDER-This young lass portrays a ve.ry keen sense of humor. As a result one is always able to hear her merry giggle above all others. Ruth's constant mood of levity, together with her winning ways, make her a person in great demand with members of both sexes. While among us she was an active member of the A Cappella Choir. Page 47 Dorothy Speucht llilclz!

She has always been considered one of our best students. VVe wish you luck, Dotty, as you continue on your educational road. A friendly girl with many friends would well be a fitting title for this mighty mite. She doesn't need good luck charms. They would be superfluous. HILDA STARK-The poet Browning said, UA man's reach should exceed his grasp, or what's a lleaven for? Hilda, one of the taller girls in our class, has ever been reaching high to grasp some of the finer things of life. She has always been most obligingg never have we been rejected when we have asked her to help. She may seem rather shy, but in her circle of friends she is known as a good scout. EARL STARR-Joseph Addison's comment concerning Will VVimble in the essay of the same name might also be aptly applied to Starr, for truly He is perfectly well turned for the occupations of trade. Starr is one of the many registered in the Industrial curriculum, his major interest being Z1llt0 mechanics. He is also interested in wood-work and many other crafts requiring dexterity of hand and mind. MARGUERITE STEIDLE-Quiet, oh yes, but she seems to be happy enough, however, we do know that when she has something worthwhile to say, she says it. Peg has a decided leaning toward the domestic side of life. Her ability as a cook and seamstress is no mean one. VVe wish her well in all her tasty adventures. SYLVIA STEINBERGER-Sylvia seems always to be in good spirits. At least if she isn't, she makes an effort to conceal her emotions. We predict that she will go unusually far because of her sunny disposition. Perhaps we could even class her as happy-go-lucky, but isn't it true that it is Better to be merry than burdened with cares ? We think so, too. RICHARD STOLTZ-Here's another sorrel-top member of our class! Yes, but he does not have the quick temper most red-headed people do. Quite the opposite. He has been one of the helpful students connected with the vocational department and is ever jolly and quick to give smiles to all with whom he comes in contact. He has been on the llonor Roll and deserves to be called an asset to P. H. S. EDVVARD STOUDT- Ed hails from the East Side of the town. He's a rather quiet individual but one with many friends, nevertheless. His favorite pastime is that of passing sticks of chewing gum to all his friends. Unci- dentally, Ed is seldom without a piece for himself.l Although he is rather quiet in class, his close friends tell us that he is really a very humorous and enjoyable fellow. l if NIYRTLE STRANGE-f'Strange as it may seem, we've got a shrinking violet among us, for her nature is to be ever quiet and serene. She has accomplished several things, however, among them being the mastery of the violin. She has played in the P. H. S. orchestra for four years. It wouldn't he so t'strange then, would it, if our own Miss Strange were to appear some day together with Evelyn and her violin in Phil Spitalny's all-girl orchestra? STELLA STRASICO-Coal black, wavy hair, dark eyes twinkling constantly, and a merry smile are all rolled into one in Stella. Whom, other than Stella, could this statement describe? What an alliterative name she has! Though she is of a quiet disposition, what she says always carries weight. ller aim in life is to become a truly good sten- ngrapher. Her favorite form of physical recreation is ice skating. MARIE STRAUSE-It is usually supposed that when a hearty laugh is heard, there is someone accompanying it. So it is with Marie. She ever looks toward the brighter side of life in an effort to make other persons' lives radiant. A cheery smile and a kind word go a long way in making one's life full, rich, and worthwhile. She's a confirmed optimist. VVILLIAM SULLIVAN-HSully has made many friends during his sojourn with us. He seems to be the quiet, reserved type, having taken little interest in any school activities except-his studies?? However, this is only a front, for Bill is one of the most boisterous members of the class of '39. He takes much pride in his ability to swim, and justly so. Bill desires to become :t member of Uncle Sam's Army Air Corps. CATHERINE THORNBURG-Someone has well said, The soul that perpetually overflows with kindness and sympathy will always be cheerful. Catherine appears to have such a soul. She has come to us from Mechanicsville and is interested in Commercial work. Her distinguishing quality is her quietness. However, there must be much activity within her, for dancing is her favorite form of recreation. ROSE TOMAINO-Rose, a short-of-stature brunette, is one of our Commercial students who does everything in a serious manner, particularly her homework. Her quiet and industrious ways have earned her the respect and admira- tion of all who know her. VVith these fine habits and her capacity for efficiency, she is sure to do well in the business world. ' MARY TOOHEY-Mary, the fortunate possessor of a head of lovely red hair, has a good-natured and charming disposition. A lover of conversation, Mary will talk about anything from the latest in clothes to the latest in-you guessed it--the male of the species. Mary, we pass Christopher Morley's tip on to you. This is how it runs: He who is able to listen gets credit for being a charming conversationalist.

He probably subscribes to this statement: Let be my name until I make my name. That he is preparing to make a name for himself cannot be doubted, for in the classroom he is on his mental toes and is usually prepared to make an intelligent comment on the subject at hand, ROBERT TYSON- Bob, as he is known to his many friends, is somewhat of :t stranger to P. ll. S., having come here from Catholic High in his third year. However, in the short space of two years his amiable nature and easy- llowing wit have tnade him many friends. Bohn has scholarly inclinations, particularly in mathematics and physics. lie believes that the fight of time is caused by the spur of the moment! LAURA ULMER-Our Laura is simply goofy over large, solid-hoofed quadrupeds with long manes and tails of coarse hair-especially those used for riding. You guessed it, we're referring to horses. Laura is quite an accom- plished equestrienne. My kingdom for a horse is her watchword. Laura's musical abilities are expressed through her singing and cello playing. MARY URBAN-Mary believes that it is a wise head that makes the tongue still. VVell, Mary, a silent tongue and a truthful heart are among the most admirable things on earth. Our subject is interested in secretarial training pri- marily, she participates actively in basketball, volley ball, and ice skating as hobbies! She has also made her presence felt in the Tri-Hi-Y. SARA URCH- Take a letter, please- will be the request Sara shall be complying with when she leaves school, for being a full-fledged secretary is one of her strongest desires. Judging by her school activities record, we are sure she will be a valuable asset to any employer. Her hobby, by the way, is swimming, then, too, she is not averse to engaging in a game of basketball or volley ball. LILLIAN VALENT-Lillian, at pretty, dark-haired Commercial student, possesses a very merry disposition, always enjoying a joke or a laugh and frequently supplying one herself. She has an elusive charm -- an indefinable something. ller smile is one of her distinguishing features, and she is rarely seen without it. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why she has so many friends. VVe trust that a happy future is in store for this light-hearted girl after she leaves P. H. S. ALBERT VILLELLA-Albert, another of our numerous Commercial students, has been on the llonor Roll many times during his high school career. VVood-working is his hobby and favorite pastime. He has proved himself to be very prohcient at it, having produced many fine pieces of furniture and other wooden gadgets. Upon his having been graduated, he expects to enter the Thompson Business School at Harrisburg. llllllll ll l l l t XVILLIAM VVAGNER- Bill is a big, handsome Commercial student, who is very popular with the fellows. VVe have also been told that he is quite a ladies' man. f'Bill is an ardent sports fan and enjoys playing basketball and football. He also served as home-room president during his sophomore year. He has been quite faithful in all that he did. DORIS VVALDRON-The philosopher Plato said, VVe ought not to reckon mere life but life spent virtuously to he the highest good. Doris evidently is interested in a virtuous life-we commend her for this interest-for she is president of the girls' Hi-Y. That she possesses singing ability is evidenced by her membership in some of our choral groups. ESTHER VVALLACE-Esther speaks little and at rare intervals, but when she does, she speaks pleasantly. She is preparing herself to become an eflicient private secretary. Although her interest in all school sports is of an objective nature, she actively engages in her favorite form-swimming. May the current in life's swim never be too strong for her. LOUISE VVALLAUER-Louise believes that the most completely lost of all days is that on which one has not laughed. l7on't ever banish this belief, Louise. This young lady not only looks upon this as a theory, but she also practices it, for she possesses a pleasing personality. This will be a significant asset in her chosen vocation -secretarial work. JESSIE VVALTUN-Jessie verily believes that Music has charms to sooth a savage breast, to soften rocks, or to bend a knotted oak. She is not only a listener but sings with the A Cappella Choir and plays the cello in the symphony orchestra. She plans to further her musical training upon having graduated. May her life ever be one of sweet harmonies. JAMES VVATSON- But words are things, and a small drop of ink falling like dew upon a thought produces that which makes thousands, perhaps millions, think -- this is what Jimmie thinks, and we believe that he has some- thing there! His skill is by no means limited to the brush and pen, for he warhles a mean note, also. Q Quick, VVatson, a tune! j ANNA VVEAVER-If we were to ask Anna for a statement on her feelings concerning things in general, we believe her answer would run something like this: I love tranquil solitude and such society as is quiet, wise and good. At any rate, she appears to be of such a nature. She has been enrolled in the Commercial Curriculum. Page 51 Anna VVebe1' Helen Wleihe VVilliam Womer Clyde VVood Page 52 Lorrzline Wiener Louis Weiss Jean Vilentzel Robert Williams Lillian VVolf john Wolfe Jane Vtlhite Emma XVildermuth VVr1rren YVildermuth Charles XVilliams ANNA VVEBER- The rising blushes on her cheeks o'erspread are opening roses in the lily's bed. Anna is redolent with that school-girl complexion. She is quite proficient-no, not at gossip, but in the art of conversation. VVe have been told that after a busy day in this mad whirl we call life, Anna finds peace by retiring to one of the cinema emporiutns - or somethin'! HELEN VVEIHE-'Tis said, 'flt is often the worldly wise who remain the most silent! llelen surely must be worldly wise, for her silence, in most cases, is one of her outstanding characteristics. She is preparing herself to become an efficient secretary. In view of the fact that she doesn't talk much, she probably gives expression to her feel- ings through her feet, for she really is most adept at dancing. LORRAINE VVIENER- On with the dance, let joy be unconfirmed! Such is the spirit which Lorraine exudes. She seems to throw herself with wild abandon into those things which strike a responsive chord within her-even stamp collecting, which, we are told, is her pet hobby. Lorraine is also at home in the realm of the make-believe, for she played her part well in the various dramatic productions in which she appeared. LOUIS VVEISS-Among the boys, Louis is best known as a very friendly young man. The girls front the VVest End are also well acquainted with this likeable fellow. They affirm that Louis is loads of fun. Besides being popular, VVeiss knows his stuff in school, for he is a good scholar. VVe still feel, however, that he hasn't been doing his best. JEAN WENTZEL-Her fellow students say she is comical, but they all know she takes things seriously, too. jean is the kind of girl who always has her work done on time, for she believes in being prompt. This is a quality which is lacking in most of us. We are sure that this will be a great asset in helping her to fulfill her hopes of securing a position as typist after her high school days are over. JANE VVHITE- Build thee more stately mansions, Oh my soul. Poise is a characteristic for which ,lane is uni- versally known. She is enrolled in the Academic Course and has also been a member of the well-known Newspaper staff of Pottsville High. She is very popular with all members of the class and is a follower of all sports activities. From observation it is evident that Jane dances with the poise and grace that she possesses when she walks. EMMA VVILDERMUTH-Her fingers glide over the ivory keys, making them her servants. Emma's principal con- cern is music. She played a trumpet in the P. H. S. Band and entertained many through the medium of her xylophone. She also presides at the piano when there is singing during the assembly periods. This quiet, rather shy, soft-spoken girl lets various musical instruments speak for her. M l i+t VVARREN VVILDERMUTH-VVarren is gifted with an ability which very few of us possess-that of the artist. He was an active member of the Sketch Club, and, with a few strokes of his pencil, he can transfer to paper an imaginary picture or any object he may see before him. VVe suppose he's a member of the f'Art for art's sake school. CHARLES VVILLIAMS- Charlie, who was one of the most outstanding football players in Pottsville High School, played varsity guard position on the 193849 championship football team. lt will take a lot of ability to Hll his place on the squad. His one ambition is to win a scholarship for football. Here's hoping his ambition may be fulfilled. ROBERT VVILLIAMS- Bobby, an excellent dancer, receives much satisfaction from this form of activity. Our fellow student is one of the quiet members of our groupg he takes things very seriously. Being of this classification does not, however, keep him out of mischief. Because of Bobby's intention to further his education at an institution of higher learning, he has been on his toes in his scholastic endeavors. One can truthfully say that VVilliams is a sincere classmate, a good sport, and a real friend. LILLIAN WOLF-We are indeed sorry that Lillian was, out of necessity, forced to withdraw from school at the end of the first semester. She always appeared to have given her very best in whatever she attetnpted. Her absolute sincerity of purpose was one of her noteworthy qualities. May this sincerity continue to be a part of her always. ,IOHN VVOLFE-Perhaps john, one of our Commercial students, was one of the boys trying to convince the P. H. S. Powers That Be that they should have a baseball team, for he is greatly interested in this great American game. We have learned that his ambition is to become a highway patrolman, so let us sound this warning: Don't do any speed- ing, for you may pull over to the side of the highway and find the VVolfe at your fcarl door! VVILLIAM VVOMER- Bill, as he is called by his classmates, has never known a serious moment. His smiling face and ever-ready jokes are a familiar sight and sound to his friends. The possessor of a fine bass voice, he is one of the supporting members of the profundo section of the A Cappella Choir. VVith a smile and a song he goes along. And he doesn't like to be rushed! CLYDE VVOOD-Clyde is a chap of few words. The old adage, Actions speak louder than words, is certainly true of Clyde. Much cannot be said concerning those actions, however, for he also is a firm believer in inactivity. VVrestling is his favorite sport. He has proven himself to be a valuable asset to Coach Steltzer's grapplers. Page 53 Edwin Yerger Milton Young Phyllis Young joseph Yourgal Kenneth Youst Anthony Zebertavage Carolyn Zimmerman George Zimmerman Mildred Zimmerman Herbert Zukauskas Page 54 Anclrew llerwig VValter VS-'yld EDVVIN YERGER- Ed is a young blade who has a IIIOSI carefree slant on life. His attitude is Heat, drink, and be merry, and to heck with trouble. He is one of ever-enlarging clicque who refuses to let Old Man Trouble get him down. Ed is as yet undecided as to what phase of the business world he will turn after graduation, but it will, without doubt, be a wise one. MILTON YOUNG-Milton is one of our big, silent fellows. lle seldom speaks, except when spoken Itl. He was IJ member of our 1938-39 championship football team, having played the center position. He has no particular hobbies, with the possible exception of all strenuous sports. As a vocation, we find that Milt takes an interest in salesman- ship and may continue in this line of work after graduation. PHYLLIS YOUNG-Here we have a girl who, contrary to femine ideas, believes that it is better to be seen and not heard. Phyllis is training herself to be a tnodel housekeeper by taking the Home Ee Course. Besides being deft at sewing and other household duties, Phyllis is quite an artist's model, being very popular with the Peter Arnos of the Sketch Club. Incidentally, they tell us that she's a model model! JOSEPH YOURGAL- Joe is a member of our 1938-39 championship football squad, having played the position of center. He is well liked by his classmates and never has any trouble assembling listeners whenever he is about to tell one of his tall tales, for which he is famous. joe has taken the Commercial Course during his four years. He has confided to us that he would like to become a salesman--yes, even a traveling one! KENNETH YOUST-- Kennie, who has been about the same size in stature since his primary days, is also busi- ness minded. He is a very intent listener, especially when in class. In fact, teachers have quite a hard time in getting him to my anything at any time! It is his ambition to become a super-salesman. VVith the pep, vim, and vigor that he possesses, it is generally suspected that he could even sell insurance. ANTHONY ZERBETAVAGE-Anthony is another one of the class's more reserved boys, lle believes that silence is golden. Faculty metnbers have seen evidence of this occasionally. Anthony frequently likes to indulge in a good rough-and-tumble game of neck-twisting football .CVVhat a man! lj He is a student of things industrial and would some day like to be a first-rate mechanic. CAROLYN ZIMMERMAN-One of the most versatile members of the class of '39 is Carolyn. During her sojourn in P. H. S., Carolyn has distinguished herself as an actress and public speaker. She is a member of the P. G. L., Dramatic Club, Orchestra, Animal staff, not to mention her having played excellently a role in the Senior Play. Carolyn, we know, fully believes that The flowers of rhetoric are only acceptable when backed by the evergteens of truth and sense. GEORGE ZlMMERMANfGeorge, better known as 'fPete, has succeeded in making class history through his gymnastic abilities. He was a member of our championship gym team for four years, having been captain in his senior year. Although he is an all-around gymllilst, Pete takes particular pride in his ability to perform his breath- taking feats on the high-bar. Better do a little well than a great deal badly is his watchword. MILDRED ZIMMERMAN-Mildred left our midst last year to take up residence at Honesdale. XVe are glad to extend our greetings to her at this titne. If our memory serves us correctly, she was interested in studies of a com- mercial nature while here. Our desire is that she may realize her every worthwhile ambition. HERBERT ZUKAUSKAS- Zukie certainly leaves a metnory in P. H. S. halls which shines as brightly as the intellectual trophies which he has won. Perhaps the most interesting thing which can be said about this mite is that he was, at one time, mind you, the possessor of a fine soprano voice. Upon discovering that most women pre- ferred men with deep voices, he emulated the barefoot boy and deliberately went wading one autumn day. tHe'll deny this, but don't believe his deniallj You guessed it! He caught a cold, his voice having become a mere croak, and he's been a basso ever since! ANDREW' HERVVIG-f'Andy was a newcomer to our midst during the ear'y part of this year's term, having come from Aliquippa. His philosophy, so far as we can observe, seems to be this: Vile enjoy ourselves only in work -in our doing, and our best doing is our best enjoyment. Our desire is that such enjoyment may always be his. VVALTER VVYLD-This young man's lastname is misleading, for hels anything but that which it tnight suggest. In fact, we find him to be of that fine calibre of which Tennyson spoke when he wrote, For thou hast ever answered courteously and, when reviled, hast answered graciously. VVe hope that he may ever retain this courteous and gracious matmer. Page 55 ,ll l lll l lli 3111 illlemnrimn in YVC pay tribute to the memory of this classmate of ours, who died on October IS, 1935, as the result of an automobile at Q-7 329 lrr V Q all ' ' A . -' an Q accident. 1 ' Vg' 'fi g .

Frank VV. Nloser, a former principal of our high school, in the above quotation has very aptly expressed the sentiments of the entire student body in regard to the annual presentation of the lylinuet. It is indeed a pleasure year after year to present this charming yet dignified dance ot our highly regarded ancestors. This year the Klinuet, under the able direction of Nliss Dorothy Critz, was pre- sented before the Assembly and visitors on February 21, l939, and several performances were given throughout the Week at various teas and meetings. The dancers were accompanied by a selected orchestra, and Virginia Lawhead gave a very complete and interesting account of the history ot the lVIinuet. No presentation of this dance would be complete Without the descriptive prologue. This was rendered by Carolyn Zimmerman in her own inimitable manner. The group of dancers consisted of the following couples: Fay Brigham .............. ............ , Alfred Deramo Doris Marty . ...... . . .VVilliam VVagner Constance Heblich .. . .Leo Klorrell -lane VVhite ..... . . .joseph Bush Carrie Sinton .... . . .Paul Achenbach Nlarjorie Kehler .. ..VVilliam Smyth Page 57 Juniors FIRST SE1xIEQ'I'ER fDFFICERS HIfXRRIET COLEMAN ..

Once upon a time Herbie Zukauskas and Paul Achenbach were BOUND for a dense VVOOD when they saw a YOUNG FOX run behind a FERNE Clgoltzj on a STRANGE HILL in the distance. They ran through a BUSHCarj of VVYLD SAGE till they came to two RI-IOADES where they saw a LONG BROVVN ani- mal with LOTZ of NVHITE QSDPOTTS on its tail. They crouched down LOVVE TUCCI the GOLDEN colored creature IWOHR plainly. Herbie got out two burlap SACKS, and Paul reached for his HANIINIER, which was fastened at his HIPP.

The Society endeavors to create an enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote leadership, and to develop character in the students. It endeavors to maintain student promotion of worthy school objectives. The awarding of certificates of recognition to the group having the highest percentage of members on the six-weeks' honor rolls was one of the outstanding projects undertaken hy'the organization. A step of great importance was taken when this year's Chapter formulated a local constitution, which will guide the organizations of the future. Corollary to the accept- ance of the constitution, a change from previous years was made in deference to senior membership in the society. Instead of the usual ten senior members, a maximum of fifteen was created, the increase being provided by the enrollment of no more than live senior class ineinbers at the end of the first semester of the twelfth year. Xlemhership to the Society is based on scholarship, service, leadership, and character. Candidates must have a scholastic rank in the first third of their respective classes and lllllst have spent at least one year in the secondary school which elects such persons.

Yes, this thirteenth year in the history of Potts- ville High's governing body has indeed been a successful and an eventful one-one which will leave a deep impression upon the minds of all concerned. In addition to fulfilling its usual duties, this organization has undertaken and suc- cessfully carried out many new ventures. Outstanding among its feats has been the establishment of a new record in the annual Penny-A-VVeek drive. The astounding sum of 5110.00 was collected in the ten weeks immediately preceding Christmas. The Council has also sold stationery in the cafeteria, filled orders from the students for our newly designed school pennants, and has occupied for the Hrst time the new concession stand in the athletic field. Delegates from our Student Council have distinguished themselves and their school at the National Convention in New York and at the State Convention in Dullois. The Red Cross Committee, the Assembly Committee, and the President's Coni- mittee have been welcomed additions to this representative group and have aided in enabling this yearls Council, under the able guidance of Nliss Dorothy K. Critz, to be the best in the history of Pottsville High School. The Executive Committee consists of the following: FAY BRIGHAM ..............,.....,.....

During the last week of September, tryouts were held for the sophomores, juniors, and seniors, five girls being admitted from each class. This year marked the largest group of eager participants ever to compete for membership. XVith the ranks of the society complete, with the exception of five freshmen chosen during the last week of january, anticipation of the annual Thanksgiving Dance was in evidence as the girls scurried to and fro in preparation of one of the outstanding social events of the season. ln several Ili-S-Pairs Newspaper editions appeared the best lfnglish compositions and similar material of students which was selected bv members of the Phi Gamma l,ambda. This was undertaken in order to make P. H. S. students English conscious. Klany interesting speakers were presented during the meetings. The girls partici- pated in well-planned programs. Visits were made to civic centers at Pottsville, from which much valuable information was derived. Phi Gam VVeek, perhaps the most important week of all in the life of a Phi Gam girl, was observed in April, the outstanding events of which were a guest speaker in Assembly, a play. election of next year's officers, and as a grand climax-the animal Spring Dance.

This year the T. K. D. has again continued its scholarship fund, which enables two worthy students to continue their high school education despite financial difliculties. The main social activities include a Thanksgiving Dance and a Spring Dance. T. K. D. also has a share in the operation of the concession stand. A banquet is held at the end of the school year for the active members and the alumni. The chapter, at the beginning of the school year, consisted of VVilliam Smyth, Herbert Zukauslcas, VValter VVyld, VVilliam Scheerer. George Goodman, VVillard Long, Tom Golden, Dick Bevan, Dan Carpenter, lfarl Fox, Charles Riehl, Charles Boyer, and joseph Krederayage. George Goodman and Dan Carpenter continued their formal education in prepara- tory sehools. Their places are taken by lfdward lllulroy and Henry Vlleissinger.

The work of this organization is carred on by various units, such as the program. social, and membership committees. Nloney is raised by holding skating parties and selling various things, such as candy. llembership does not require any special qualifications. Each member must serve on one committee and attend all meetings. However, if she misses three consecutive meetings, she is automatically taken from the membership list. Activities include lectures, hikes, dances, parties, and business meetings. The Tri-Hi-Y and Hi-Y have combined meetings at various times of the year, which tends to maintain a cooperative feeling between the two clubs. Some important events during the year are the Worlcl Fellowship Banquet, llid- VVinter Conference, and the Summer Conference at Lake Ae1'ial. These events are most beneficial, for ideas are exchanged at these conferences. The Tri-Hi-Y concludes the year by spending a delightful and enjoyable week-end at Camp Chickagami.

Page 75 Double Thirteen The Double Thirteen is a literary organization of twenty-six members whose pur- pose is to create interest in better reading throughout the student body. It was organized shortly after the opening of the school term in l929. Certain achievements are required before admittance into this Club is gained. lt is the custom of the members to act as aides in the library during their free periods, under the supervision of Miss Albanese, the faculty adviser. This provides an effective and practical experience. Every year a week is set aside for the public to donate books to the library. This is known as Library Gift Week. lt has always proved to be successful. The meetings are held every other Monday. At these meetings, after the business is attended to, programs are held to enliven the interests of the members in books and library work. These programs usually consist of the reading of poems, the review of books, and the discussion of current subjects. The dues of the Club are fifty cents a year. The Double Thirteen members are concerned not only with their own library, but have inspected and profited from those in outlying territories.

For the first time in the history of the paper the editorial reins were placed in the hands of both a feminine and a masculine leader as co-editors. Agnes Schoenauer and Herbert Zukauskas filled these posts. Jean Smith and Jane Burgan, their second year as business managers, capably handled the financial side of this self-supporting publi- cation. Anxious to keep abreast of state and national competition, the newspaper officials introduced an important item to the high school news agency. Photographs and snap- shots became more common, for the school paper appointed Ned Bradley and Henry Schultz as staff photographers. Increasing circulation could be handled only by two circulation managers, Kay Niartin and Nladeline Fehrman occupying those two offices. Carlton R. Sterner, faculty adviser for the publication, completed another year of veteran guidance and advice. Eight of the seventeen issues were six-page editions, setting a new record in this respect. One of the most memorable of these was the special football edition for the Hazleton-Pottsville game. The paper rose to new heights in literary, journalistic, and intellectual efforts. Advertising, the back-bone of the paper, soared to an unprece- dented mark. journalistic conferences and contests, including the Columbia Scholastic Press Con- ference at New York City, provided Hi-S-Potts with an opportunity to prove itself one of the most outstanding papers of the country.

It was founded September 15, 1937, numbered twenty-seven members, and received its charter on December 4 of that year. The Home Economics girls have pledged themselves to carry out three major objec- tives by which they uphold the purpose of the Club. The first is welfare, which includes the making of stuffed Christmas toys for distribution to the poor and needy children of the community. At Easter time, baskets are filled for similar purposes. Second, Personal Improvement, which includes lectures and demonstrations, which are held twice monthly, conducted by well-known persons in their respective fields. Third, entertainment, such as parties and pep dances. The annual semi-formal spring dance is one of the up-and-coming frolics of the year. The decorations, the programs, and refreshments are all home-made by the members. lVIembership rating is based on scholarship, interest, cooperation, and initiative.

Candidates for membership are required to give two selections, one optional and one required, before a group of judges, usually consisting of the officers and several veteran members. The purpose of this organization is 1. To give the members an appreciation of the drama and instruction in stage technique. 2. To direct dramatic activity into a coordinated effort and to arouse student interest in dram- atics. This interest is developed through the use of two texts, The Theatre and The Play Book. 3. To further the members' knowledge of theatrical art and encourage them to do their share in developing a high standard for dramatic production in the school. VVith unwav- ering enthusiasm, the charter members have worked to make their Club worthy of this high purpose. Every other Week a program meeting is held, at which time one-act plays are dram- atized, and the two texts mentioned above are studied. During the football season the dramatists presented a one-act farce entitled HThat's Football. During Christmas Week, l3angl Goes Christmas, a long one-act play, was: presented in assembly. It is the plan of this enthusiastic group to give an evening presentation some time in spring. Plans are also being made for the entire Club to attend a stage performance in one of the larger city theatres at the close of the school year.

Under the vigorous and understanding leadership of their director, Mr. Earl VV. Haviland, higher stand- ards of appreciation and choral performance have been attained than in previous years. liach choir has mastered an interesting and comprehensive repertoire of standard choral literature, from the basic polyphony of the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries through folk song of many lands to the works of modern choral Writers. The Christmas Concert, December 14, attracted the largest and most appreciative audience in the history of school functions. So many patrons were unable to gain admittance because of the crowded auditorium that two additional performances were given during school hours for students and parents.

The program was broadcast from the Reading station, XVEI-IU, the Sunday before Christmas and by amplification from the lloutrich Store during Christmas week. ln all, seven public performances were given, and community appreciation was most generous. As a concert unit, this year's A Cappella Choir has made a significant advance over last year's large group.

After hearing the remarkable Work of your choir, which for vitality and spontaneity, as well as comprehensive musical quality, I consider unsurpassed, it is the concensus of faculty and students that We Want you to return again next yearf, The Pottsville High School Ensemble Was the first choir to be so signally honored, and the members were happy to accept the return engagement to sing before such a discriminating and enthusiastic audience. The Verse Choir, organized last September, made amazing progress in exploring the joys and challenges of choric speech. VVith the A Cappella Choir, the Christmas Theme was presented at Bloomsburg State Teachers, College, in a radio broadcast, and at two school assemblies. Programs of poetry were contributed at both local con- certs, at Susquehanna University, and at the Reading High School. The power of choric speech to portray character and to express historic and patriotic meaning was evidenced at the Lincoln Birthday celebration through the medium of 'flohn Brown's Bodyfl Stephen Vincent Benetys great Work. Robed in maroon and white satin vest- ments, well trained and enthusiastic, the girls were given well-merited audience approval at each appearance. The Junior Choir, the Sophomore Choral Club, and the Freshman Choir have shown a steady improvement in appreciation and performance throughout the year. Participation in concerts and support of the ideals and aims of the Associated Choirs have demonstrated the ability of large numbers of young singers to achieve choral distinction, to merit program sharing with highly trained and experienced choristers, and, above all, to discover Worthwhile and deeply satisfying rewards for the spirit in enjoyment of the choral art. Page 82 The Band This year marks unquestionably a new all-time high in achievement-musically and physically- for our band. Never before has it risen to the high plane it attained this season. New uniforms were purchased, and the organization took on a distinct college air. Doctor and Mrs. Heller presented two fine glockenspiels, which added to the band's appearance and likewise to its instrumentation. During the mid-winter concert, which was given in conjunction with the High School Orchestra, Mr. Albertus Nleyers, our genial guest conductor and director of the Allentown band, said, in a speech following the presentation of a gift to him from the members of our band, that, without a doubt, the P. H. S. organization was the Finest high school band he had ever conducted, all of which made us feel justifiably proud and grateful for the patient efforts of our director, Mr. Leo F. Nlinnichbach. jack Dove Druuz lMllj0I' Arthur Pryor, noted conductor and composer, was the guest conductor in the Spring Concert held on April 19th. A packed house was on hand to greet Klr.

Herwood Hobbs, and Mr. Howard Fernsler, pre- sented each of the eighty members of the band with an insignia as a token of their appreciation of the splendid work they had done, both on the football field as well as for the many civic duties fulfilled without thought of pay or thanks. A contest held to determine and select a design for these insignia was won by William Brown, '41, the design selected being a beautiful crimson lyre with a white crimson letter imposed thereon.

Albertus Nleyers, its guest conductor at the llid-VVinter Concert land director of the Allentown bandl, said that the work of the string section of the organization was way above the average in quality for high school students-that the splendid unity with which the entire seventy-Hve musicians played and the accuracy with which they followed his beat would have done credit to seasoned adult musicians. Mticli of the credit for this result is undoubtedly due to the painstaking work of our director, Klr. Leo F. Nlinnichbach. Indicative of the high type of music played by the orchestra this season was the creditable rendition of the famous HPetite Suite de Balletll by Gluck. This presentation was made during the Klid-YVinter Concert. On the Saturday evening following this concert, lVIaestro Toscannini, an admitted leader both in musical art and in the type of music selected for his programs, included this same number on his repertoire. ln the Spring Concert, lklr. Arthur Pryor, noted composer and conductor, acted as guest conductor. Everyone was thrilled to have this world famous personage wield the baton before the P.H.S. group. His famous YVhistler and His Dog simply brought down the houseg it was greeted with a veritable ovation, and llflr. Pryor was forced to repeat it. A gractful gesture was noted at this concert by lllr. Albertus Nleyers, who acted as conductor in the Klid-NVinter musical. Nlr. Kleyers was, in his earlier years, a soloist with the Pryor Band. NVhen he learned that llr. Prvor was to appear here, he journeyed from Allentown and, with his wife, was on hand to greet his former leader, much to the enjoyment of Klr. Pryor and all of our orchestra members, who delighted in seeing these two great men on our podium together. It was decided to permit those of the orchestra who have qualihed as permanent members to purchase the adopted insignia presented by the Athletic Committee of the School Board to the P. H. S. Band members. Xlany of the members of the orchestra also belonged to the band. The majority felt it would be unfair to have some of the organization wear the emblem and not others, so permission was granted to those who had not been presented with these insignia as members of the band to purchase them. if they so desired. A facsimile of the insignia is shown at the bottom of this page. Page 84 'T.,, ... The Candid Camera Club The Candid Camera Club is one of the recently formed organizations of this school, having been founded near the end of the last term by -lack Hadesty. The constitution of the Club originally called for an enrollment of twelve, but an amendment was made early this year, increasing the total to seventeen members. llany interesting pictures of football games, basketball games. and speakers who have come to speak in our assembly have been taken. Local landscape views have also been shot.ll The Club members believe that, as a hobby, photography has no superior. lts pos- sibilities for interest to young and old are practically unlimited. ln these days when leisure-time activities are becoming so important, it provides one of the best means of personal pleasure and at the same time creates permanent record of interesting hap- penings. Blore than 759 secondary schools now have such clubs in operation. Almost with- out exception they report considerable interest on the part of the students and regard it highly as an extra-curricular activity. Considering that the Club has been organized for less than a yea1', the members have made much progress in the field. and in a few years the Candid Camera Club should be one ot the best organizations in the high school.

Touchdowns were scored by Evans, Ventresca, Neyer, English, and Riehl. On the night of September 16, the wearers of the Crimson defeated Freeland High, 26-6, in a game which showed both good and bad football. The winners made several slashing sustained 1narches, but were held for downs on several important stages of the game and were penalized a total of 75 yards. Lansford High was edged out, 6-0, by P. H. S. in a highly exciting night game before a capacity attendance on September 23. A 16-yard forward pass gain by Johnny Neyer was the game's only scoring play. Unleashing a powerful offense in the third and fourth periods that netted three touchdowns, the Crimson Wave bowled over Ashland High's gridders by a 25-12 count on Ashland's liflemorial Field on Saturday, October 1. After trailing by a 12-6 count in the first half, Pottsville came back with one tally in the third and a brace of six points in the final quarter to sew up the game. The performances of fleet-footed f'HummerU Neyer and shifty Bud Evans of P. H. S. and the excellent open-field running of NBill', Kellegher of A. H. S. were most noteworthy. Walter NVyld received a severe injury in this fray. On Saturday, October 8, Pottsville High defeated Bethlehem High, 20-7, in one of the most sensational games ever seen here. A crowd of 8,000 looked on in suspense. Bethlehem had a marked advantage in yardage, but Pottsvillels speed told whenever a runner got loose. It was a wide-open, ball-tossing, good-gaining game which was in doubt until the last few minutes. Evans, Neyer, and,Sage scored for the winners, Ruyak, for the visitors. Pottsville High kept its undefeated record intact by battling Easton High's Red Rovers to a 6-6 tie on the latter's field, Saturday, October 15, before 9,000 fans. Both teams had several opportunities to break the deadlock but lacked the necessary scoring punch. It was the diminutive Neyer who again crossed into pay dirt for P. H. S. The try for a fourth-quarter field goal was unsuccessful. Another sensational game was played on the local gridiron on Saturday, October 22, when the Crimson Wave defeated the Canaries from Allentown High, 7-6, before an estimated crowd in excess of 8,000. It was another thriller. Pottsville scored on the fifth play after the opening kick-off on a forward pass gain of 42 yards, Evans to Neyer. Ginther kicked the extra point, which was to loom so big in the end. Piff scored for Allentown in the final quarter. The seventh victory for the P. H. S. gridsters was XVOII when they defeated Tam- aqua High's Blue Raiders, 13-0, before a capacity crowd of 6,000 at Tamaqua, Friday night, October 28. Neyer and Griffith provided the scoring punch. The first downs favored Pottsville, 11-4. On Saturday, November 5, the members of our husky squad followed Horace Greeley's advice and went Westu- to Windber, where they nosed out Wiiidber High, 7-6, in a hair-raising contest which was played in a sea of mud. This slippery field condition greatly handicapped the fleet backs of Coach Allenls club, particularly Johnny Neyer. VVindber started off with a bang and held an advantage all through the first half, having scored once on a sustained advance. But P. H. S. came back in Page 91 the second half and put on an uninterrupted drive, with Bud Evans going the last 20 yards on a neatly executed cut back play. HBob English plunged for the extra point, which won the game. Charlie VVilliams excelled in this contest. It was Wiiid- ber's first defeat on its home field by an Eastern Conference team. November ll CArmistice Dayj turned out to be anything but a day of rejoicing, for the Hazleton boys weren't in the mood to call off hostilities. In fact, they played an excellent brand of football, the Crimson lads were most unfortunate in that the breaks went discouragingly against them. The result: Hazleton 30, Pottsville O. The largest crowd ever to witness any sports event C20,000j in Pottsville's history was present. VVhat promised to be a night of victorious rejoicing for the P. H. S. fol- lowers turned out to be a real nightmare. The Crimson gridders rebounded from that Hazleton morass and defeated a classy Reading High team, 13-6, on Saturday, November 19, in a downpour of rain at the Albright Stadium in Reading. Evans and English reached touchdown mud in this fray, the formeris remarkable running on a sloppy field being the offensive highlight. Captain Frank Day's defensive work was outstanding. Scheerer, Golden, and Eagan also performed admirably on the forward wall. Pottsville High concluded its best season in history by convincingly trouncing Leb- anon High, 45-6, at the local stadium on Thanksgiving Day, November 24. The game was played under the worst weather conditions a Pottsville High team ever experi- enced. Snow obliterated yard lines from the very beginning, near the end a real snow storm was in progress. In fact, so severe was the downfall that two officials scheduled to handle the game did not arrive until it was over. HBud', Evans and UTony Ven- tresca each scored three touchdowns, 'K-Ioe Sage accounted for one. Rhenn tallied the only six-pointer for the losers. As a most Htting climax to such an illustrious record, Pottsville High was awarded the Big Fifteen Championship Trophy. VVhat an honor for Captain Day and his teammates! VVhat a tribute to Head Coach 'lTubby,' Allen and his able assistantsn- Steltzer, Guertler, Butler, and Dimmerlingl Head Coach Hjiinn Crowley, of Fordham University, was the principal speaker at the annual football banquet, which was held in the high school cafeteria. Other guests were Coach Glenn Harmeson, of Lehigh University, and Coach 'flerryu Frock, of Lebanon Valley College. THE 1938 RECORD P. H. S' Op.

Highlight of the season was the magnificent performance of Harry lVIcClure, who proved himself easily the greatest harrier in Crimson and VVhite history. lN'IcClure broke Howell's record of 13:17 early in the season and then smashed his own ZX mile record three times thereafter. He also broke the Pottsville High record on for- eign fields. XIcClurels present record for the home course is 12: 52. Klagnificent and heroic work was also contributed by Pete Spontalc, Steven Holaucholc, George Holauchok, Robert Thompson, Joseph Luehkas, Richard Dietrich, VVillard lN1aeFeeand, and Alfred Bound, the other lettermen of the squad. Pottsville finished fourth in the Conference and third in the championship run held over the Crimson and VVhite's fine QM-mile course on Armistice Day. MR.

These fellows represented District ll in the state finals, which were held at Penn State College on Nlarch 17-18. NVood and Eagan were eliminated in the preliminary round.
