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? Page 21 s

ROBERT DREISBACH--Honk! 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. Page 23
