UA voice soft, sweet, and low is a comely thing in a woman, so they say, and Doris is a practitioner of that bit of preaching. The star to which she has hitched her wagon is that of school teaching. May it shed for her an illuminating glow to brighten life's darker ways. ACHENBACH, WILLIAM We are told that Bill's Hrst interest is his car. Those who have seen his old blue Studebaker will agree that it exists only because of the patient attention he pays to its ills. Bill is one of our handsomest chaps, and his accompanying jovial spirits have helped to make for him many friends in P. H. S. ADAMS, FRANCES Frances has chosen the role of an etlicient business woman in the universal play of Life. After having completed her commercial studies in this instif tution, she plans to further her education and enroll in a business school. When her part in I.ife's great drama has ended, may her laurels be many. ANTHONY, ANDREW A'Andy is ever up-in-the-air, whether it be one thing or another. Perhaps he will follow in the footsteps of Charles Lindbergh, or perhaps he will perfect his ice-skating to become the masculine version of Sonja Henie. Whichever he chooses, here's to a happy landing for him. ANTHONY, PETER Business. that exer fascinating oc- cupation. will gain when P. H. S. loses Peter Anthony. Although Pete has not participated in extra-curricular activities during his school career, he has been an active sports booster. Horseback riding and canoeing are his chosen forms of relaxation. We hope he may hurdle life's trials and always paddle his own canoe. ARBOGAST, VIRGINIA Outwardly. HGinnie maintains a reserved air, but when one becomes well-acquainted with her, he discovers her hidden qualities. Her extra-curricular interest was in the Tri-Iii-Y, in which club she held the office of treasurer. She also maintained a high standard in her school work. She is a grand person, and we wish only the best for her. ASAIF, MARGARET Margaret, who is one of the most vivacious girls of our class, intends to study dress design- ing when she leaves our humble midst. Her expression, Take it easy, is characteristic of her carefree nature. This dark-haired young lady permits nothing to interfere with her manner of taking the big things lightly and the little things seriously. BACHMAN, EVELYN Mr. Kiehner's Girl Friday. really canfand does- carry a message to Garcia. This vital young Miss is one oi HI-S-PO'I'I'S Annual's most etiicient and reliable aides. She possesses an ingratiating smile which is strictly her own. Who can ever forget her never-fading interest in all P. H. S. athletic contests!

' BARONE, COLETTA Many of us may recognize Coletta as the Voice with a Smile at some future date. She finds the work of a telephone operator too fascinating to resist. so has chosen it for her life's work. Coletta has a very ticklish sense of humor. and the casual observer would be inclined to believe she has few worries. BARTHOLOMEW, RITA Rita takes a particular joy in writing letters, especially to people living in far-distant towns. So if you move to California or Alaska. we suggest that you drop her a line. A student of the Commercial curriculum, Rita plans to become a stenographer. Surely in such an occupation she will be able to write letters to her heart's content! BARTSCH, PEGGY Temperature, normal. That sense of humor radiating from Peggy, which seems so contagious to her companions, will, in all probability, cheer her pa- tients immeasurably when she tends their ills in some big hospital. Peggy isn't all fun. though. for deep down inside she's dead serious. Another Florence Nightingale? That's our hope. BECK, IEAN Ieanie hails from Cressona Road. Top- most favorite of her school subjects is Home Economics. of which, we are told, she is quite the master. lGentlemen, please notell She is the presiding officer of the Home Economics Club. At the completion of her studies here, lean will take up the thread again at Penn State. where she hopes to become a full-fledged dietitian. BECKER, CHARLES Pull over to the side! Gentle reader, if you are unfortunate enough to hear such a com- mand, put on your most gentle look. Patrolman Becker might give you a break. He wants to attend the Hershey State Police School. Could it be the uniform that attracts him? A'Red has been deeply interested in all athletics dur- ing the last four years, with football holding first place. BECKER, RITA Cheerfulness and carefulness to details, two of the requisites for a good stenographer, are evident in Rita. To be a good office worker is her ambition, and. with her other qualities. she is sure to do well. Football and dancing are important to her only so far as play is concerned. Rita's immediate desire is to visit New York City and witness the numerous wonders which that great metropolis boasts of. BEDFORD, LAURA Take a letter, Miss Bedford. Yes. Laura. too. is training herself to be-that's it-a sten- ographer. Her sunny disposition should stand her in good stead. The moving picture theaters can thank Laura for not a little of their business. Ignore it is Laura's favorite expression. and that is just what she does when she encounf ters any troublesome thing. BEECH, EDYTHE She may seem shy, but oh myllll To the majority of the people in P. H. S., Edythe doesn't seem to be of the talkative type, but then they don't know her. Chief of her pastimes is that of enjoying a good movie. She was a good student in spite of the multitudinons activ- ities which laid claim to her attention. XM , , .. .M'5ZlL11.iLJ. I' get BENO, STEPHEN in view of the fact that Wings over Paris is Steve's favorite literary selection, one can read- ily understand his ambition to become an aviator. Camping holds a strong attraction for this fellow. also. l le's going to join the Army Air Corps. May he always reach for the higher things in life. Clear Ceiling, Steve l BERTSCH, FIDELL Here she comes: there she goes! Characteristic of Dell is her readiness to aid others when help is most needed. Full of pep, vim, and vitality, she has been unusually faithful to the organizations of which she is a member-namely, the Home Economics Club, the Annual Staff, and the S. A. B. May that alacrity with which she does things never leave her, BEVAN, RICHARD Small in stature but tall in knowl- edge-such is our Dick. He was president of the Tau Kappa Delta, the Associated Choirs. and the National Honor Society. What a man! This half-pint quarterback put on a brainy display of Held-generalship on the gridiron this past season. BICKERT, EDWARD Ed has been preparing himself to be either a mechanical engineer or a Deisel motor opera- tor. Whichever it is. he shows much promise of doing well. for his records are indicative of his fine scholastic endeav- or. Surely he need not depend solely on Dame Fortune in attaining his objective. BLANKENHORN, CARL Speech is silver, but Si- lence is Gold-en. If this is so, then Carl should be a millionaire by now. Carl, of all things. wants to be a chicken dealer. Though he has not take an active part in any school sports, he enioys football and baseball games. We wonder if Carl's chickens will come home to roostl Some dol BLANKENHORN, EVELYN l'rn sorry. The line is busy, This quiet girl would like to become a telephone operator. Then she will have to do a lot of talking. Evelyn spends her leisure time in reading. She evidently believes. as Bacon does, that Reading maketh a full man. We hope she may have the opportunity to do that which she desires. BOBBS, ANNA MAE Anna Mae is always smartly groomed and impeccably clothed. She is invariably calm. cool. and collected, and-here's a tip, boys. she's a very smooth dancer. During the summer months one may see her basking in the sun or laughing at Old Sol as she cools off in the nearby pools. BOHLER, BETTY Betty Bohler, Proprietress. This may become a familiar sign to all of us, for Betty plans to open a home-made candy shop. Her charmingly candid ways have added continuously to her many friends and admirers and at the same time have retained her more seasoned com- panions. All this indicates that Betty is as sweet as the candy which she intends to sell. X 'F f , ' fc tj Q 61 fi , x 43' , Qlfvd M . v '41 X,-P, ,, Ms . if y riff Uh' M, .

He has become a familiar sight snapping spectacu- lar plays at our athletic events. He has more than a casual interest in photography. We understand he has his own studio for developing. etc. His father is the famous skect shooter in Schuylkill County, and it seems that Paul is a chip off the old block. BOUND, WILHELMINA Billy is one who has gone through high school with that my best is as good as any other person's attitude. Dancing is one of her main hob- bies, along with her ability for playing the piano. Ol the various subjects of the Clerical Course, typing interests her the most. i'Billy's ambition is to enter a teachers' college alter graduation. BOWEN, IOHN Herewith we present a quiet fellow- until one really gets to know him! He has a smile for all and is likeable as can be. lack found typing and short- hand much to his liking at Pottsville High. His chief aim is to become a business man in the true sense of the word. May you realize this ambition, Iack l BRADY, HELEN Helen is another of our popular girls. She has a fine sense of humor and is known by all as a good sport. She is always on the go and is as peppy as can be. Helen is interested in clerical work but also hopes to flnd time some day to travel to the far corners of the earth. BRINICH, EVELYN Evelyn is one of our calm, cool, and collected Misses. Her pleasing attitude toward all is admirable in itself. Evelyn has made an especially good record in stenographic work and later intends to use that ability in a business oH'lce. Reading maketh a full man can also be well applied to this girl, for reading is her hobby. BRODERICK, IOHN johnny is a clean-looking chap. easy going, full of fun, and well-known in Pottsville High. He is the very efficient manager of the recording machine in the gym during lunch hours. He has been an Industrial student in high school but hopes to enter a military acad- emy after graduation. There's something about a soldier, yes sireel BROKHOFF, ANNA Anna truly believes in that old familiar saying, Where there's a will, there's a way. All her friends will readily agree to this. Anna's desire in life is to become a nurse, and a right good one she will make, with that marvelous spirit of initiative which is hers and her admirable trait of dependability. BROKHOFF, ELENORE Elenore was most active in Pottsville High. She has been one of our best students, as can be witnessed by the fact that she was accepted into the membership of the National Honor Society. Then. too. she held the office of President of the S. A. B. and also was treasurer of her class. Elenore has been on this year's Annual Staff, where she certainly has proved her worth. rw BROWN, ELEANORE Eleanore came to Pottsville sev- eral years ago and, since that time, has cultivated many friendships here in high school. She has been taking the Commercial Course. and her main desire is to take her place in the business world as a proficient stenographer. Eleanore skates well. this being her chief hobby. BROWN, LOUISE Louise is a most energetic young lady. Her favorite subject is Science and small wonder, for she intends to become a teacher in the field of laboratory work. Louise is also musically inclined and has been a member of our orchestra since she entered P. H. S, Aside from her work as a teacher. Louise hopes to travel in later years. BROWN, PAUL Paul has been known in high school as one of those fellows who just glories in mischievous ven- tures. His group of friends is large and no wonder, what with that marvelous sense of humor he possesses-a quality that is so obviously lacking in many people. Believe it or not, Paul's favorite subiect is geometry! How do you do it, Paul? BRIIEN, RAYMOND Life is iust a bowl of cherries- so thinks Raymond. Nothing troubles him and, most likely. nothing ever will. Studies are the least of his worries. although he really is a great one for mechanical work. Raymond hopes to attend an industrial school after leaving Pottsville High, but he also believes in the saying, Go West, young man. for Ray wishes to do some traveling in western LI. S. in future years. :ilk BUBSER, FRANCIS Lots of fun, always getting into mischief, but quietly efhcient is Francis. He is one of those fellows who just can't stop smiling. Francis possesses a serious nature, too. He has been taking the Clerical Course but is intensely interested in aeronautics. In fact, he hopes to make this type of work his career. This likeable lad certainly is ambitious! BUCHINSKY, GERTRUDE This young lady has stood out as being one of our most ardent advocates of sports. Her interest in cheer leading proves this point. As one who has made many friends, Gert has gone through Pottsville High with a smile for all. She hopes to become a teacher, and we are wondering whether it will be in dancing. BUTTS, RANDALL We introduce a combination of a good dancer. an excellent skater, a fine sense of humor-in general, a grand all-around fellow. Randall's ambitions incline toward mechanical work. As an Industrial student, he has found this type of study to his liking and intends to make it his life's work. Above all else. he enjoys skating. his favorite off-the-record activity. BUZALKO, IOHN Despite the fact that Iohn is reserved and rather quiet, we know that he is one of our truly good students. From various sources we have learned that he is a grand fellow to know. too.

Her progress in Commercial work, especially in shorthand, has proved amazing. Rita possesses a charming personality and has a large circle of friends. Her hobby is dancing, which she does equally as well as her work in school. Her quiet efficiency and natural attractiveness are most compelling, CANNON, MARIE Marie has made a name for herself in Pottsville High. She has been one of our outstanding stu- dents, having gained membership in the National Honor Society during her Iunior year. Not only has Marie been well-known as a scholar, but she also has proved to he a very charming and well-liked person, What an excellent contribution Seltzer City has made to P. H.

He has been a pop- ular lad in high school and has held several offices, includ- ing that of Home Room Treasurer, Bank Cashier, and Home Room Secretary. Vincent excels in the art of print- ing and intends to make it his life's work. CARESTIA, ANTHONY Anthony surely gets a pleasure out of life: he has never taken it very seriously and most likely never will. Mr. Carestia has found Commercial work very interesting, indeed, except for one thing-it's lots of work. Iust the same, he hopes to become a top-notch sten- ographer. so here's luck, Anthony! That smile of yours. in particular, would be an important factor in any office. CARL, EMMELINE lt has been said that silence is golden, but everyone seems to enjoy Emmeline's bright chatter. She possesses a cheerful and spirited attitude that adds nicely to her already gay disposition. Emmeline has a rather serious side, too. She has been interested in sten- ographic work in school and intends to enter a school of business after graduation. CARL, IUNE Iune has excelled both in her studies and in many extra-curricular activities while in high school. The Verse Choir. in particular, will lose one of its most valu- able leaders when this year is ended. Iune's circle of friends is large. Her pleasing attitude towards life in general is admirable in itself. lf personality means success, lune will be successful. CARR, VIRGINIA A sunny smile for all, but, oh, what a temper! Virginia is a happy-go-lucky young lady. She and gloom are certainly not related. She is really a good- natured girl and is never seen without one of the many friends whom she has made during her high school days. 'iGinnie wants to travel more than anything else after she leaves Pottsville High. CARRAS, ETHEL A modest nature and a quiet air-how well those words can be applied to Ethell We know that she can be lots of fun, too. because of the many friends she has acquired during her school years. Ethel has been one of our gym enthusiasts, at one time having attained the honored position of captain of our gym team. May good fortune always he with her!

CASALE, THOMAS Tom has a morbid propensityu for a little nonsense now and then imostly nowli. but no one seems to mind. ln fact, everyone really likes it. Tom is fun to know and is a great one for dancing. And what a mischievous grin he displays! He professes no particular end or aim in life as yet. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof is his present maxim. CASTILIONE, PAULINE To most people, Pauline appears to be the easy-going. carefree sort of person who sees no end in her desire for jitterbugging, yet seriousness does enter her mind occasionally, for she has chosen nursing as her career. Her peppy vitality and live-wireness along with her friendliness will greatly aid her in that well- chosen career. We're pulling for you. Pauline! CAVALIER, ALMA A'Silence is true wisdom's best re- ply. Alma is very reserved to some, but once she gets st ted, she is really a lot of fun, yet she has never been ce ured for talking during a class session.

Truly nothing more could better describe the little Miss who came to P. H. S. from Catholic High in her senior year. She very am- bitiously centered her attention on the Secretarial course. Her new friends are many: her enemies-well, she simply doesn't have any. CHIPRIANO, IOHN The old order changeth, yielding place to the new. And so will Iohn's everlasting belief that only girls are employed as stenographers. for who could resist his lovable bearing and willingness to work? He has also stood out as a very valuable addition to Mr. Sterner's Crimson and White dashers. ln short, Iohn is a man not of words but of actions. CHOMAN, ALEX Alex is of the opinion that the richest person is poor who doesn't have a musical education. His principal ambition in life is to be a music teacher. Much of his extra-curricular time was devotedly given to the P. H. S. band and orchestra. May Life ever be one sweet melody to him. CLAUSER, RUTH Ruth's conversation is brief, and her desire is to be silent. Studious and ambitious is Ruth. who is taking the General Clerical Course. To work in an office is her desire.

Most any time during the summer, Helen can be seen having a splashing good time up at the East Side pool. C'mon in, kids: the water's fine! COLEMAN, CHARLES He is perfectly well turned for the occupations of trade. Very wisely, Charles has chosen the Industrial Course to supply him with the knowledge which he needs to become what he desires most to be-a Diesel engineer. He plans to enter The Philadelphia Diesel School for Engineering. Possibly he's another Iames Watt in the making! What's that? COLEMAN, HARRIET Hail to thee, blithe spirit! Twice hail to a tiny but powerful bundle of possibilities. Harriet is one of our best typists. Her able leadership and good judgment are two substantial rungs in the proverbial ladder up which she plans to climb in becoming a Grade A stenog. Can you imagine anything so proficient to come from so little? CORBY, WALTER The smith, a mighty man is hcl Corby is far from a smithy, but his course of study is in that vein. He probably is aware of the fact that working with the hands is becoming quite popular again. He is sincere in all that he does. Some day Walter hopes to establish a radio manufacturing plant. CULBERT, HARRY All right, Culbert, give us that tune! Yes, you guessed it. Harry does-but definitely- belong to the A Cappella Choir. Besides this, he claims membership in the Hi-Y and the Library Clubs. He is now taking the Commercial Course and is as yet up a tree concerning a vocation. He said that he would, however, grab the first opportunity to travel around the world. Who wouldn't? CURRAN, ELEANOR Laugh and the world laughs with you: weep and you weep alone. Surely this gives a hint of the merriment Eleanor daily displays. In addition to this cheerfulness and goodness, she is a reliable worker and a real friend. Miss Curran, may the currents of life never be too swift for you! CURRAN, IOHN Well, here is the other half of the Cur- ran team in P. H. S. Iohn is planning to enter the Coast Guard and hopes that, in time, he may become an officer. At present he is submerged in things of a mechanical na- ture and is specializing in arithmetic. Why not? How could he hope to become master of a ship without such essential knowledge? There's something about an officer that is fine. Hne, finell' CUTLER, WILLIAM Bill has the remarkable ability of mixing extra-curricular activities with studies. Besides holding several offices and memberships in various clubs, he has regularly appeared on the honor roll. Need we men- tion that he is also in the National Honor Society?

DONMOYER, EMILIE Sincerity and loveliness are consecrated milestones toward a winsome personality, 'tis written, and we're convinced that Emilie posseses both of these fine qualities. She is rarely seen without a merry twinkle in her eyes. We trust that a happy and useful future is in store for this attractive girl. DONNE, HELEN During her four years in high school Helen has become quite interested in dress designing. Nat- urally, she is a member of the Home Economics Club. Her chief hobbies are sewing and drawing, On the top of all this, Helen is a member of the Newspaper Staff and has done outstanding work in this Held. We wish Miss Donne a Well done! in whatever she casts her lot. DOYNE, WILLIAM The merry twinkle in Bill's eyes acts as a powerful magnet. lt has won for him many val- uable friendships. However, he is not only extremely fond of having a good time. for he has also proved to us con- clusively that work and play can be combined effectively. i'Bill took the Industrial Course. His ambition is to be a member of the Coast Guard personnel. -. fri QTEK! 1 DRY, ALMA Here is one of the smallest, most industri- ous, and most sincere girls who ever trod the corridors of P. H. S. Alma. despite her stature, has made us pleasantly conscious of her presence in a friendly quiet way. She has a mischievous cell in her brain and is always ready for fun. Her sincere and unassuming manner has won for her a countless number of friends. DUVAL, VIRGINIA Virginia is another girl with a very amiable disposition and pleasing personality. She takes life at its best and chases away gloom. Her friendly manner has won for her a host of companions. When Gee Whiz can be heard coming from one end of the corridor, Virginia is sure to follow. She is desirous of becoming a beautician. EBENER, PAUL Paul is fun-loving and carefree. He always seems to be in the act of completing some prank. Monkey-business takes up much of his time in school. though he does study occasionally. He is, in addition, will- ing to aid his many friends on all occasions. Paul capably meets the requirements of an all-around fellow. EBLING, THEODORE Ted is a Shop boy who has had difficulty in differentiating between adjectives and nouns, He has provided many laughs for his classmates. When the outbursts were at his expense, he took them very good-naturedly. This amiable disposition should prove an invaluable asset in his later life.

EDMONDS, ANNA MERLE Laugh, and the world laughs with you. That's Anna's motto. We needn't tell you that she practices what she preaches. All who know her find her a very charming companion, full of vim, vigor, and vitality. Everyone's pal is Anna. Another saying which would very capably apply to her is. A friend in need is a friend indeed. EILER, BRIGHT Few and far between are men like Bright. He has gone his own quiet way, asking for nothing and giving all he has to the benefit of the school. Bright isn't the palsy-walsy type, but the friends he has are true believers in the integrity and real ability of this silent young man. EMERY, LAMAR Lamar is a happy-go-lucky. carefree lad. People are drawn to him because of his many wise- cracks and his bright cheery disposition. Studies do not seem to be his specialty, although be does manage to edge his way through.

Although no one seems to know much about him. we have reason to believe that he is the strong. silent type-apparently Hj interested in lessons. At least he doesn't look twice at any belle who passes him in the hall. Of course, after school hours--well, that's different!! ENGLISH, ROBERT You gotta be a football hero! Football and Bob are synonymous in the minds of all the pupils in P. H. S. Through his grit and determination he has carved himself an enviable position in the hearts and minds of all the students. He desires to become a teacher. Go to it. Bob ! EVANS, FRANCIS Bud was one of the stars on our football team. P. H. S. will miss him in the line-ups, for he was always on call when a touchdown was needed. Then. to be sure, there is his love life. He falls in love on an average of once every four or five months and thinks each suceeding girl is THE one. He agrees in full with another famous Francis-Bacon-to wit: To spend too much time in study is sloth. EVANS, IOHN lack could play the role of Shakes- peare's Falstaff to perfection.

He is good natured, reliable, honest. sympathetic. and most friendly-excellent qualities all too rarely found in many of us. FESSLER, RUSSELL Russell is a quiet lad. No one ever knows hc is around.

She desires to become a singer, and, from the looks of things, her goal will ultimately be attained. No one studies harder or gets more joy out of studying than Avalon. She is enrolled in the Academic department. May her gay and carefree demeanor always be with her! FICKEN, CATHERINE Dignity, sweetness, serenity-all are hers. Catherine is not, strange as it may seem. the noisiest lass in the class. Although she may not force her- self to the foreground, we know that she is the possessor of many worthy traits. The members of the opposite sex don't seem to interest her-or do they? Well, at any rate. good luck, Catherinel FILER, NELLIE A more versatile girl is hard to Find. Ready, willing. and able should be her motto. She is one of the outstanding students of our class. She possesses a very pleasing personality and ranks high in her scholastic achievement. Anything she undertakes. she does whole- heartedly and well. May life always do well by our Nell! FISCHER, ALVIN Gentle reader, here is a man's man- a droll, wise:-cracking, typical senior of whom we are justly proud. Alvin believes in the modern twist to the age- old adage, All work and no play makes-jack, and who wants too much of that?? This sorrel-topped chap, then. is doing all right by himself-and others. 'B gy. , FLANAGAN, MARY Here's one of the most carefree members of our group. Fun-loving, Mary is a girl we like to have around. Her gay chatter is refreshing: her happy- go-lucky manner serves as a lift and a bracer-upper to all of us. To sum up, she's a parcel of vitality-a blues chaser extraordinary. FLEMING, IAMES Fleming is no grind, but he does manage to pursue a steady middle course. He didn't par- ticipate in the varied extra-curricular actitvities. Fleming, however, was especially interested in the course to be found in the Industrial Curriculum. He has won many friends by his willingness to be a friend. We will be sorry to sever our day-by-day associations with him. FORTUNE, GAYLE What a happy name combination this young lady has-Gay-le and Fortun-ate! Her interest in the many school activities seems to be boundless. Her participation in the various choral organizations was espe- cially noteworthy. May the best of good fortune always be yours, Miss Fortune! FOSTER, NANCY Nancy, being a member of the Senior Athletic Boosters. is. naturally, an ardent sports fan. How- ever, she's no laggard when scholastic activity is in order, either. This little red-haired gal is interested in typing, et al. She hopes to study journalism. in which line of en- deavor a typewriter is one of the more necessary acces- sories. FOX, JOHN This Fox is a real live wire. He is inter- ested in almost everything iexcept girlsl. He does a thing and does it well, not because he must, but because he finds joy in doing it. This trait or quality is an invaluable pos- session in living a life of usefulness and happiness-one which we hope will be his. FOX, ROBERT F. Folks, here's a Fox. Which one? The silver onel These Foxes have been rather difficult to Cata- logue. Teachers especially found their identities most con- fusing. This one has become well known for his outstanding ability in his favorite sport-basketball. Good sportsman- ship and a keen sense of humor characterize him. FOX, ROBERT N. l'iere's another Fox-the sly one. He is, however, interested in dentistry. Go to it. i'Bob. Thats gold in them thar molarsl Bob's outstanding achievement in school seems to have been his football playing, One seldom, if ever, hears him discuss studies.

To be an expert typist is her desire. ln her leisure time, Evelyn keeps scrap- books. She's a friend indeed, faithful in every trust com- mitted to her. GAVALETZ, IOHN ln lohn we find a very aeronautic- ally inclined person. He is a builder of model airplanes. He has hopes of travelling around the world by plane. lohn is also interested in forestry. He would like to enter a government forestry school after leaving high school. May his most sincere desire be realized. . ilmll GEIGER, ELMER Where's Elmer? Easy-going and happy-go-lucky-such is Geiger. He took the Commercial Course and showed a marked preference for typing. Al- though baseball is not one of our school sports, Elmer is extremely interested in it. He plays rather well. we are told. GEISSLER, BERTHA Sis is a good skate. I s'pose we should add that she's a good skater, too. She is really awe-inspiring when she's on a roller-rink. Sis also likes swimming. A good sport in the fullest sense of the word is she. May the rest of her life be as happy as her high school life appears to have been. GELBUDA, BENIAMIN Ben, believe it or not, feels the call of the sea and plans to join the United States Navy. He may be another Iohn Paul Iones in the making. ln the not-too-distant future he may take his place on the bridge of one of Uncle Sam's sleek greyhounds of the deep. Ship ahoy there. fellerll GESSNER, EVELYN This blonde Miss is a West Nor- wegian Streeter. Evelyn is very domestic-that is. she's a home body. She likes to sit, listen to the radio, and read or sew. She isn't so domestic, though. that she doesn't appreciate a good game of football. Volley ball Hnds favor with her. Her generous smile is friendly. and it has been fun knowing her. c ,xg GINTHER, ROBERT Red could usually be found holding down his left-end position on the Crimson and White eleven. His ambition in life is to be a football coach. Red can really do things if he wants to. He spends most of his out-of-school time shooting darts. Here's hoping that he tackles life's problems in a most convincing fashion. GOODMAN, EMLEN This chap is a bit difficult to pin down. He's hither. thither. and yon. ln spite of this, Em- len's, as one can see for himself, a Good-man! Stories of the West intrigue him. Swimming is his favorite form of exercise. His immediate desire is to find employment in New York City. Always be Good, man! GOULD, IOSEPH Ioe is one of the busiest and neat- est-looking fellows in school. His numerous activities in- clude the Camera Club, National Honor Society. Choir, Band, and, of course, the HI-S-POTTS Annual Staff. Hc hopes to enter the U. S. Military Academy. Boy, won't hc look swell on Dress Parade in his field gray uniform! Vile salute you, joe, and wish you well. GREENFIELD, BERNARD Flash!! That was Bernie Greenfield speeding by. He's one of Coach Sterner's hur- dlers and broad-jumpers. Bernie has little to say. He lets his legs i'talk for him as did Casca in speak, hands, for me. We wish him well in his every worthwhile effort. GREENWOOD, DORIS lf one is ever in need of a good bookkeeper, we heartily recommend Doris. She's one who never starts anything unless she Finishes it. Shorthand is her favorite school subject. She's most efficient and reli- able. These qualities will be invaluable to her in her chosen line of endeavor- stenographic work. GREGOR, ROBERT Next time you see a tall, dark, and handsome gob walking down the street, look close. 'causc. for all you know, it might be Bob. You see, he wants to join the Navy and, as the old saying goes, have a girl in every port. Though he didn'nt belong to any clubs during his stay in P. H. S., he certainly made his presence felt. GRIFFITH, WALTER GritT is to P. H. S. what Nile Kinnick is to Iowa U. He truly has demonstrated that actions speak louder than words. Co-captain of this year's varsity eleven, he played magnificently in every game. ln- dicative of his stellar consistent performances was the fact that he was selected All-State Scholastic End by the Asso- ciated Press. We feel that still greater things are in stors- for him. GUINTHER, ARDELL Quiet though she may seem. her friends call her Do-Do. We wonder why! Ardell is enrolled in the General Clerical Curriculum.

HAMMER, THOMAS Tom, like Richard Halliburton. feels the urge to travel. New Worlds To Conquer seems to be his watchword, also. Tom is a never-failing friend, His fine voice has merited for him a much coveted position in our well-known A Cappella Choir. May he sing his way into the business world as he has sung his way into the hearts of his associates. HANLEY, MARY This fashionable young lady has prom- enaded in many a fashion show. Her crowning beauty-her auburn hair-is most individual and striking. She possesses most of the qualities professional models need, such as intelligence, charm, versatility, and poise. What a girlll lt was really a pleasure to have associated with Mary. HARLEY, BETTY Betty is a three-act drama. First act: she has been a loyal rooter for P. H. S. Second act: she has proved to be a capable member of the Home Economics Club. Third act: her versatility has made her renowned among her chums. In this act, too, she makes her exit. And thus our play ends. HASENAUER, MILDRED Mildred is another of our many quiet gals. She has taken the General Clerical Course. Tri-Hi-Y work was her primary concern. Mildred would like to be a clerk in a ladies' dress shop. That may explain her attractive choice of clothes. Her neatness is one of her many good qualities. She truly believes that cleanliness is next to Godliness. HARTSTEIN, GEORGE George is enrolled in the Aca- demic curriculum. He is short, but that doesn't seem to be a handicap to him. One of the least of George's worries is- study. Nevertheless, he manages to get by land not with the lowest of grades, eitherj. He is a live wire-one who makes the world sit up and take notice. May Lady Luck remain with him. HAYNER, JOHN Herewith we present another fun-lov- ing chap of our class. lack is an enrollee in our Indus- trial course, in which he is a loyal worker. He can usually be found on the job in the Machine Shop. One cannot help but feel that his wavy hair and winning smile have done much in his having acquired so many friends. Keep smil- ing. and make hay while the sun shines. Haynerl HECKMAN, BETTY Betty is a girl of small stature. We aren't unduly alarmed about this, for, as the old saying goes, Good things come in small packages. She is the possessor of a delicate sense of humor and an eager wit. Betty has striven to excel in the clerical course, for her desire is to become a proficient sales clerk. A -ln - , ,W HEFFNER, GLADYS Gay, smiling, and carefree-all are descriptive of Gladys, who can be proud of her four well-spent high school years. She has proved to be a real pal to everyone. That she is very fond of dancing is evi- dent in her daily trek to the girls' gym during her every lunch period and at the various school dances. Keep up the sprightly work. Heff. HEINLY, GEORGE Friend George appears to be quiet, yet we wonder if we are unaware of some of the fine qualities in this mysteriously reserved member of our class. George, we know. is a sports enthusiast and likes to fol- low the hounds, so to speak. His artistic senses must lean towards things of a sensitive future. for he favors photography as a hobby. The cry is still, Let George do it! HEISLER, HOWARD Howie, another of our Shop boys, has no interests aside from his shop duties here in P. H, S. As a driver, 'AHowie is a very careful and exact person about such things as speed. traffic regulations, and cops. Swimming is Howie's favorite sport. He makes the round of all the famous pools in Pennsylvania, just to try them, as he would say. HELMAN, IOHN Hlackn is a boy with a loyal spirit, which is something that will put the ball over the goal line, no matter how strong the defense. If his will proves to be as strong in life as it has been in school. he will he tops always. He plans to enter Lehigh University and specialize in Architecture. The good wishes of his associ- ates go with him, HELMBOLD, ELLEN Small, yes, but her ambition in life is to become an aviatrix. That's a lofty one, isn't it? The will to do a thing is one of the most important quali- ties a person can have. Since onward and upward seems to be her watchwords, may she attain the heights to which she aspires! Excelsior! HERWIG, MARION Giggles, giggles, and-more gig- glesl Her-wig-we mean her lovely brown hair-is always most neatly arranged. Iovial Sis has endeared herself to all who know her. She has her heart set on entering St. lVlary's Hospital of Nursing, so blood pressures will he her specialty! HICKS, ROBERT The honor of being Student Council President has reverted once again to the so-called strong sex. Bob possesses many fine qualities, loyalty being a principal one. Then, too, he's a public speaker of no mean ability. To become a civil engineer is his ambition, Math- ematics, then, is, and of necessity must be, his meat. His friends are nurnberless. Our hope is that he may continue to be as useful in life in the same proportion as he was useful among us. HIGGINS, IEAN MARIE Nous sommes enchantes da faire votre connaissance! We're certain the preceding statement truly expresses the feeling of all who know this soft-spoken, fair complexioned Mademoiselle. Her current burning desire is to re-visit the land of her birth-France. She has taken a great interest in the English language, although her favorite expression is still Vive la France. May happiness and good fortune ever be hers! Through calm and storm they have arrived .... IO 97,6 S E RS,..

HOFFMAN, IOHN One-two-three strikes and you're out-at the old ball game! In Iohnny we present a bud- ding Bob Feller or Lefty Grove, for pitching is his specialty in the great American game, his Hrst love-or, at any rate. it was when this piece was written. His happy- go-lucky air is contagious. While among us in P. H. S. he was interested chiefly in electricity and its elusiveness. HOHMAN, IAMES lim, too, is enrolled in the Indus- trial course. His ambition is to enter either a trade school or the United States Navy. KA gal in every port. ehll Iim's spare time is spent playing baseball. In whatever his lot is cast, the best wishes of his classmates go with him, HOLAUCHOCK, GEORGE l'Ie's off! As if struck by lightning, we see a red streak whiz by us! To our utter amazement, it's George tearing down-or burning up-the track! George, as one can now judge for himself, is a very active member of our track and cross country squads. He's also a speedster in clerical work. He plans to enter Mc- Cann's Business College upon having graduated. On to McCann! HOSKINS, FRANCIS A dependable worker, a brilliant student, a loyal band member. and an all-around good fel- low-such is Francis. Although he was quiet, his parts were solid and wore well. His ambition is to enter either West Point or Annapolis. Therefore, whether it will be On, Brave Old Army Team or Anchors Aweigh is beside the issue. Our fondest desire is that he may excel in doing worthwhile things wherever he goes. HOSSLER, MALCOLM With all its glory, the Port Carbon Drum Corps approaches, and, of course, Malcolm is with it. Hossler expects to become an expert electrician. so, naturally, he and Mr. Sparks fire, A secondary aim of his is to become a member of Uncle Sam'S Navy. Oh. for a man in a uniform! Yes. Ohll HIIBAY, MARCELLA Never idle a moment but thrifty and thoughtful of others best describes Marcella. Her spare time in school is devoted to the Library Club. She is also greatly interested in becoming a private secretary and hopes to enter a business school at the close of her high school career. Her quiet, efficient manner of doing things is most noteworthy. HIIBLER, GEORGE In young Mr. Hubler we present our closest competition to Mr. Iohn Kieran, that brilliant Information, Please savant. George helped to maintain a favorable balance of trade for the Reading Railroad Com- pany by his having communted by train from Auburn every day. When not applying himself diligently to his studies. his off-the-record moments are spent experimenting with photography. We're fortunate in having had him as one of us. HIIFNAGLE. RUTH Ruth has a keen sense of humor. Then, too, she can usually be seen treading out the newest dance steps. I'Iere's hoping she can always dance through life as merrily as she has conducted herself among us. Dame Rumor has it that she's even contemplating being a dancing teacher. Surely, with the poet Milton. she will then urge all to Come and trip it as you go, on the light fantastic toe. z! .'E ky kkk .K Ly - .. ,.:, .. Pg 1 ' 'K' 'R 2 at .. efbsesf. .,:, 6 I .,:N. . lL,- HULING, RITA Pep, vim, and vigor are rolled into one in Rita. Of course. these are essential to become a good skater. Whether it be a waltz, trio, couple. Kentucky Steel, or what have you, Rita can readily adapt herself to whatever the occasion demands. Our advice to her is that when ice skating, she should not take lightly those probably not-too-funny cracks made by the ice. HUMMEL, IEANETTE Ieanette is one of the more re- served members of our class. Her maxim seems to be this: I love tranquil solitude and such society as is quiet, wise. and good. She is majoring in the Clerical course and hopes to become a sales clerk after leaving school. Her chief hobby is reading. Sincerity and friendliness are two of her finest qualities. A truer friend cannot be found. HURST, EDWARD Eddie is the rootin' tootin' cow- boy from Greenwood Hill-an all-around Hi-Yo-Silver enthusiast. Ed knows all the ropes in chemistry and art - Art for art's sake, we suppose! At any rate, Ed, that cowboy stuff goes over big in the movies. Gene Au- trey, you know, is the highest paid star on the Hollywood horizon at present. IMSCHWEILER, CHRISTIAN Chris desires to be- come a chemical engineer. Naturally, his favorite school subject is chemistry. He also enjoys playing the trumpet, Who knows?? Some day we may hear him playing with one of our famous swing kingsl Little boy A'Chris, come blow your horn! We present, then, Henry Busse johnny McGee lmschweilerl IONES, DONALD Ambition is one of life's most valu- able essentials, and Donald certainly has plenty of it. He has made himself well known and liked in both the Chem- istry and Candid Camera Clubs. His primary desire is to become a chemical engineer. Donald plans to enter Penn- sylvania State College after leaving high school. May good fortune be his always! JONES, EDWARD What's it to you? tThis is his favorite expression.l Well, Ted, it might mean a lot to us if you became a draftsman some day such as our own Mr. Breslin is today. Ted, like President Roosevelt, is an avid stamp collector. He lMr. Ionesll, too. is a good student, an excellent penman, but, oh, what a gift of gab he possesses! Well, that's sumpin', isn't it, Ted ? IONES, RAY What, another jones? Easy going, a lover of sports, especially baseball, is Ray. Yes, this Ray of sunshine is simply goofy over the diamond sport. He hopes to become a big league player some day. Baseball offers a brilliant future to any young lad who can make the grade. and we sincerely hope that Ray may be able to do so. Play ball! IULIAN, KATHRYN Kathryn's warm smile is indicative of a captivating disposition. Although reserved and demure, she has made her presence felt during her stay at P. H. S. Kathryn is one of our outstanding students, excelling in salesmanship and clerical work. May she ever do well! Through calm and storm they have arrived .... .

KANE, ELIZABETH Betty is one of the more reserved gals of our class. Talk about swimming! Say, what does Eleanor Holm have that Betty doesn't have? And her charm will aid her in any undertaking she prefers. How- ever, she inclines quite naturally towards the setting of coiffure styles. KEITHLINE, ROBERT ln spring a young man's fancy turns .... This saying applies to Bob the whole year round. His good looks, dancing feet, and happy moods all tend to popularize him fmales includedll. Spook would like to have a platform and do his stuff. No, he does not plan to be a politician. The play's the thing with him. KELLY, NANCY This quaint lrish colleen is lots of fun. always cheerful, never blue. Nan verily believes that Silence is golden, Nancy, a Commercial student, has given her loyal support to all athletic activities. She her- self is an accomplished basketball player. One of her hob- bies is the least bit sticky -that is, stamp collecting. KEMFORT, HERMAN i'There's nothing like the good fresh air, says Herman, for he never seems to be at home tliterally, of courseli. Fishing. hunting, and hiking are sources of great joy to him. Herman does his stuff in the Electric Shop and never got a shock-until the grade cards came out! In all seriousness, though, he wants to become an Aggie. lThen look out for the corn shocks, Her- manli KENNEDY, IAMES lim is noteworthy in more ways than one. He is valuable on the basketball court and is an accomplished typist, also. Iim's height enables him to tower above his immediate surroundings in much the same manner as does the Empire State building in downtown Manhattan. Swimming, building model airplanes, and base- ball playing consume his leisure time. One never finds him idle. KINGSBURY, IACK This Kingsbury boy's a handsome brute. Step up and meet him some time. We serve warn- ing that he's difficult to pin down, however, for lack's continually on the go, his coupe fairly bulging with happy passengers-usually of the female variety. Ah, mel KIRK, FLOYD Floyd surely gets a kick out of life. So far as a pleasing personality is concerned-well, this chap has just that. Every time one sees him he is smiling. Per- haps that Ialappa atmosphere explains it. Life to him is truly a song. Despite this rather unconcerned attitude, he aspires to become a serious aeronautical engineer. KIRKPATRICK, BERNARD Bernie is another delight- ful lad. There's usually a sly, mischievous twinkle in his eye. This clean, wholesome, refreshing lad is a favorite among us. To Bernie we need not say Good Luck. for he neither needs nor depends upon our Fair Lady of Good Fortune. KLICK, MARIE Marie is a lover of solitude. She seems to enjoy the quiet life which she is living. Nothing can change her sentiment. But her quietness is no handicap, for she can count her friends by the scores. This young lady desires to become an efficient hairdresser. Miss Klick, we hope you click in this desire! KLINGER, THOMAS When Mr. Ganoe left P. H. S.. Tom heaved a sorrowful sigh, for it was like losing his best friend on earth. But he has overcome his let-down and is now recovering quite rapidly from the shock. lf there is anything anyone wishes to know about electricity, he should ask Tom, for he knows all the shocking answers. We salute a future Steinrnetz. KLUCHINSKY, IOHANNA Yea, Crimson! Yea. White! Iohanna helped to make these words bristle out on the gridiron. Her athletic enthusiasm was given an out- let in her leading of cheers. Her favorite recreation is lunch-time dancing in the gym. Her classmates wish this spirited wholesome girl from Marlin her full share of cheer in the game of life, KLUVO, DOLORES Dolores has been gifted with the touch of an artist. She is very adept with both the brush and the pen. Coupled with this artistic ability is the will to do-a most fortunate combination. indeed. May there al- ways be just enough clouds in her life to form a beautiful sunset! KOENIG, ALBERT Anyone who associates with Al knows just what to expect from him. He's peppy, snappy, witty-in fact, he's a veritable firecracker! This handsome chap is a top-notch baseball player, with an arm like Ioe DiMaggio's. If he doesn't succeed as a professional ball player. he is going to try Uncle Sam's Army Air Corps. KOSLOSKY, VICTORIA Behind Victoria's exterior of quietness and tranquility there lies a spirit of gaiety and laughter. Her outward demeanor, then, is often deceiving. She likes her studies but doesn't let them overburden her. Victoria is East Mines' contribution to P. H. S., and we are glad for her having been included among us. KRAKAUER, MARTIN This chap should be able to emit the bona fide Bronx cheer, for he originates from that sec- tion of New York. In Martin we present a champion ping pong player. At least, that's how his friends look upon him. Mart is one of the few quiet, unassuming boys in the class. This young man is an earnest worker. He seldom has time for foolishness, but he does take great delight in paddling the bouncing ping pong ball. KRECKER, RICHARD Dick reminds one of an artistic volcano ready to erupt at any minute. Generally, there is some kind of mischief seen lurking in his eyes. Dick takes everything as it comes. Studies are just one of those things that must be put up with. and that's that. A rolling stone gathers no moss, but who wants to gather moss. anyway? At least, so thinks Dick. Through calm and storm they have arrived ....

After school hours he spends much valuable time ice skating or on a roller rink. 'AEd, having taken the Industrial course, appears to be quite 'Aindustrialf' for he drives a milk truck daily. KURTZ, DONALD Don Kurtz-a kurt -eous young fellow-seems to be especially devoted to trees and all their branches: that is. he, in future years, intends to study forestry-perhaps follow in his father's steps. Don is taking the Academic course, which will aid greatly in pre- paring him for college. From there he plans to lose him- self in the great forests of the United States. LANG, WILBERT lf one doesn't hear anything else, he hears Dink. This chap is one of the quiet-believe it or not-Shop boys. He is always willing to lend a hand when needed. He likes all sports, but give Dink a swimming pool, and he will dive, swim, crawl, splash-in fact, he simply goes overboard! Now you see him, then again you don't. LAWRENCE, IEAN She's, oh. so happy! Now what can the reason be? lf a smile drives away cares, lean shouldn't have a care in the world. This lass should make an extraordinary secretary. for she has the where-with-all to make a grumpy boss smile and the ability to do her duties well, Such a person simply cannot be denied. LAWSON, DAVID Whatl The sound of an airplane. Who is the pilot? Dave Lawson? Of course, didn't you know? Dave hopes to become an airplane pilot, Perhaps some day he may even belong to our national air corps. Dave expects to enter Penn State Center after leaving high school. We hope he will go far in all which he en- deavors to undertake. LEBENGOOD, BETTY She is calm because she is mis- tress of her subject-the secret of self-possession. Editor- in-Chief of the Annual, Dramatic Club head, member of Verse Choir, National Honor Society, Phi Gamma Lambda, and Current Events Club-all awaited and faithfully re- ceived Bctty's attention after the official school day had ended. May good fortune ever attend her! LEELAND, HARLAND Like father, like son is truly prophetic in Harland's case, for he intends to follow in his fathcr's footsteps and become a printer. Characteristic of Harland is his ability to retain a poker face no matter how funny the joke. Efficiency-plus characterizes this chap. He demonstrated capable leadership abilities as President of the Current Events Club. A good speaker he is, too. LEHMAN, PAUL This golden-haired chap has mechani- cal inclinations, for the greater part of his school day is spent in the Machine Shop. However. we feel safe in stat- ing that the real object of his affection is baseball. ln fact. he plans to make it his pay for his meal ticket, if possible. Take me out to the ball game! it sx S, .521 LENTZ, RUTH Ruthie, a dark-eyed beauty, is our conception of a good mixer. Her popularity with us was expressed when she was elected to the Student Council. and her scholastic rating earned for her a place in the National Honor Society. Ruth's companions tell us she is a staunch friend, especially when her friendship is most needed. Here's hoping her dream-boat comes in: may it be loaded to the holdsl LEVY, LUCILLE Laugh and the world laughs with youg cry and you cry alone. Lucille, with her jolly ways, evidently believes in this bit of philosophy, for her per- sonality ever exudes a spirit of good clean fun. Lucille has taken the General Clerical course. Her rich alto voice played an integral part in the A Cappella Choir setup. LEWIS, STUART Stewy is one of our cinder burner- uppers. Having won as many medals as he has, he should be a metal worker. However, Stewy has other ideas, for he intends to become a woodworker. We're certain that his proficiency in this line of endeavor testifies that he will be justified in hanging out his shingle, LIGHTCAP, ROBERT Bob is going in for billing and cooing in a great way, and we hope he gets the birdl Lest we be misunderstood, we hasten to explain that Bob plans to be a pigeon breeder extraordinary. All his efforts will be exerted in this direction. Bob's a fine conscien- tious chap, and we wish him well. -its -. sk., B' iam. Q ' s 1' if LILIENTHAL, ADELE We realize there is more than a little of the idealist in Adele when we view her many excursions into the world of make-believe. Among her suc- cesses we find she has been president of the Phi Gam, con- ductor of the Verse Choir, representative in the Forensic League contests, a member of the HI-S-POTTS newspaper staff, Dramatic Club, and S. A. B. Aside from her accom- plishments. the only word for 'dele is Grand! LORD, IAMES A'Iim is fond of sports, especially foot- ball. He is a very likeable lad who believes in minding his own business. lim is taking the Academic Course. He plans to be a ? ? 7 ? Girls are an important sideline with him. In all that he does, Iimmy believes in making haste slowly. LORD, WILLIAM As silent as the night is dark is Bill. We have, however, been quite impressed by the quiet way in which he goes about getting a formal education. He evidently truly feels that Nothing is more useful than silence. His quietude, moreover, doesn't detract from his splendid personality. Bill is the type who can-and will --do well in whatever he tackles. LOTZ, RICHARD This guy Lotz has lots and lots of depth in that voice of his. A profundo he really is. Ed has taken the Vocational curriculum, wood-working being his specialty. Expert craftsmen are regaining their former importance, so we feel that Lotz will have an opportunity to use profitably that wood-shop knowledge gained here in P. H. S.

A sincere and willing worker, she has been a loyal supporter of many P, H. S. sports activities. Thelma has not as yet chosen her life's work, but we wish her well in her chosen Held of endeavor. LUPPINO, MICHAEL What! Is Mike a Shop boy, too? His ambition? Well, whatever it shall be, he will take his proper place in the world. Mike is a very fre- quent visitor in the local movies. In fact, we have seen him ushering at various times. Our sincere hope is that he may usher himself into a useful and worthwhile vocation. LYNN, FRED Please be quiet, Fred, echoed in Red's ears throughout his senior year, for he talked his way through some classes and just about out of many oth- ers. However, he is a jolly fellow. always ready-to create a bit of mischief. 'ANever trouble trouble till trouble trou- bles you appears to be Red's motto. MALICK, CAROLYN When we think of Carolyn, we always think of the pleasant smile that does so much to- ward putting one at ease. Her interest lay chiefly in jour- nalism, and her zeal and integrity have contributed no little in making our school newspaper the Hne publication which we think it is. May she manage her life as efficiently and effectively as she has ssis d in managing Hl-S-PQTTS. ff we -1 MAHALL, JOHN That popular ditty, Oh, lohnny, Oh! seems to have been composed for Iohnny Mahall. that blond, well-groomed young man one often observes driving around. As one of Mr. Lindeman's aides in the commercial lab, it is evident to us that he means to become more than just a cog in the machine, Iohnny particularly likes ice- skating and is a member of the Maple Leafs hockey team. No funny cracks from the ice, pleasel MALEY, MATTHEW Matt is an honor student in every sense. His scholastic standing is good, and he claims membership in the T. K. D. Maley was a 'Afind in foot- ball last year and developed into quite a valuable player. lf effort is to be taken as a standard for measuring one's future attainments, we're sure Matt will be right up there in the thick of things. MARCH, MEYER Mike can be distinguished from the others by his little red hunting cap as he trudges up the Hill. He has given three years of faithful service to the haskeball squad. He plans to become an apothecary fdrug- gist to youll and will enroll at Temple University to pre- pare himself. May he Find the prescription for continued health and happiness. MARTIN, ROY Little, but oh my! is the best phrase with which to characterize Roy. He is always ready with a gay Hi-ya or similar salutation and has one of those smiles which never seems to wear off. Summer days fand nightsj find Roy taking an active part in the maze and craze of the East Side pooll Vyffj zwfba mf- fl gl, , f f frm' , 'of l Y MARTZ, AUGUSTUS Gus is a typical high school lad. A carefree attitude together with an amazing dry hu- mor makes him well-liked by all. He is never without his special grin which makes other people want to grin with him. There are two days that Gus never worries about -yesterday and tomorrow. He is often up to some mis- chief in order to satisfy his love of fun. MATTHEWS, RUSSELL Whitey is a mighty fine fel- low. His sturdy physique and determined spirit were im- portant features in the excellent line of play of the Crimson and White eleven this year. Whitey's not a bad student, either. We hope he receives the opportunity to widen his field of endeavor. McCALL, PEGGY This young lady has been known as one of our exceptionally good dancers. Her twinkling feet can execute any intricate step-an ability that can certainly be envied. Peg likes her studies but does not become over-burdened with them. She has been a member of the A Cappella and the Phi Gamma Lambda for quite a while. Her excellent taste in clothes and her charming self com- bine to make one swell girl. MCDONALD, IOHN Iohnnie and study had a heated argument, oh, long ago. and they haven't patched up their differences to this day! Hope they get on speaking terms soon. Iohn takes things as they come. He neither checks over that which has passed nor peers into what the future may reveal. That's his creed, and he sticks to it. MCFEE, RUTH This much-liked little girl possesses an enviable personality and attractive red hair. Ruth is a mem- ber of the Phi Gamma Lambda. Dramatic Club, and Verse Choir. Everything seems to glow when she is present. llVlust be the reflectionllj May she ever continue to bestow anonymous benefits by her gaiety and pleasantness. MCGEOY, THOMAS Stood-em-around lVlcGeoy isn't a Clark Gable, but. oh my. what a football heroll Tom is an all-around good fellow. He has a fine scnse of humor and the ability to laugh off his troubles. Incidentally. he's the official counter-upper each day at the west end cash register in the cafeteria. MCGURL, VINCENT Vince shows promise of becom- ing one of our more serious-minded and sedate contempo- raries. He's quite unpredictable, however. for he's up one semester and down the next. lt seems as though he receives his impetus from some erratic spirit within him. Vince is well known for his work on the Council. Here's hoping there'll always be a good hearty laugh in him, too. MCMURTRIE, IAMES Few people know that Iimmy's first name is William, but we think Iimmy is more be- coming to that fun-loving nature of his. Baseball is his choice of sports. both as a participant and spectator. He wants to qualify as a plane pilot.

MEYER, EUGENE Eugene is not the heftiest lad in our class, but he's right up there in the running. The good things in life don't always come in small packages, so we arcn't alarmed about this boy and his future.

The magnet of business has drawn her to- ward its center. Will it be her fate to work in the office she desires? Her quality of daintiness will never be for- gotten by us. NIORRIS, AMELIA Amelia has proved to be a real asset to our class, She became a member of the HI-S-POTTS newspaper staff during her freshman year and has most capably filled the position of Associate Business Manager during her senior year. She also is a member of the Verse Choir. May life balance her sorrows and joys with a per- fect blending of sweet song. MORRIS, CHARLES Call -- for - Phil-ip - Mor-risl Gosh, we have the wrong guy! Charlie's really lots of fun. He is always ready and willing to have a good time with others. His chief hobby, however, is stamp collecting. Because of his ever-courteous manner, we dub him Charles Sir Walter Raleigh Morris! MORTIMER, ALLEN Determination. an indefatigable will to do, and a persevering nature are his. Besides, Allen has a dry sense of humor, which has more than once madc him the life of the party. With him, the eyes have it, for he's going to be an oculist. How about a Htting for rose-colored glasses, Mortimer? MOSER, LEAH Leah has been a most valuable member of the Choral Club, A Cappella Choir, and Ensemble. She has a hankerin' to be one of them thar school marms what teaches book larnin', We reckon that when she's aheadiu' fer her last round-up, she'll look back 'pon much happiness and success in this here life. MUSCHOCK, GEORGE George, in his own way, is as conventional yet indispensable as a breath of air. He enjoys roughing it but despises studying or anything which pertains to it. George, who was a member of the Cross Country team, would like to be a sports reporter or announcer. NEUSER, HELEN Gentlemen prefer blondes - and, gentlemen, Helen's a blonde-and more. She is fun-loving, an extraordinarily good dancer, and a capable swimmer. Helen was an active member of the S. A. B. and the Annual Staff. She's individual in her ambitions, too, choosing to be either a dress designer or a foreign buyer. Keep us constantly informed about the latest modes, Helenl NEVILS, MARION What a joy it is to contact a person who exhibits such a fervid interest in that which surrounds her! Sincere and friendly with all, Marion never fails to bestow that engaging smile. The gift of being a good con- versationalist is not attributed to many, but this Miss is one of the chosen few. She really does demonstrate in its full- est the proposition of living. gj -R - UIQ - .1 in .J ,.

OWENS, NORBERT Norbert, better known as Fritz, took the General Clerical Course. He says Problems of Democracy is one of his favorite subjects. Could that be the reason he appears to be so interested every day during the fourth period? He plays a trumpet and would like to qualify for some outstanding orchestra. Happy touting. Henry Busse Owens! PACHELBEL, BARBARA Barbara is quiet and very effi- ent. She usually appears to be in deep thought. Barbara Ann would like to write books for children. We think her stories would be very interesting. for she has a vivid im- agination. She also keeps a scrapbook, which, we are told. is most unique and one of her prize possessions. PALKO, MICHAEL Mike aspires to be another West- brook Pegler or Walter Winchell, for he's greatly inter- ested in newspaper reporting. This much we can say for him in advance: he'll never need a typewriter because of the fact that his penmanship is unusually legible and dis- tinct. May he score many scoops! PAPAPIETRO, PASQUALE This diminutive lad with thc unusual yet picturesque name evidently prefers the warmer climates, for he yearns to visit South America. He's inter- ested in Uncle Sam's Army and plans to become a part of it. Papapietro, too. is at home on all types of gym appara- tus. His collection of rare stamps is unique. PARRY, ETHEL Ethel is most clever at fashioning gad- gets with her hands. Her unusual yet interesting hobby is collecting wishbones. She would like to tour England, for English literature and history interest her in no small meas- ure. To be a dietician is her objective, May she ever parry anything which may tend to impede her from doing welll PARTON, WILLIAM It's the butcher-boy for mel Billy IS an honest-to-goodness meat chopper. Probably this, added to the fact that he's a good wrestler, explains his desire to become a chiropractor. Boy. will he toss 'em around! lf his study hall manner can be relied upon fhow he applied himself therelj, Parton has all the earmarks of a student. PASSARAS, VIVIAN Vivian would like to be a designer. Although she is small, she is an important increment in the class of 1940. Her hobby is, naturally, designing. mainly clothes. She plans to attend the New York School for De- signing. Gowns by Passaras one may be noticing in the not-too-distant future. We wish her well in her design for living, also! PEARCE, CONNIE And one was a saucy little red- headl At least, that's the way the song goes, doesn't it? And pretty she is, too. Connie withdrew from our midst during the fore part of her junior year to live in New Ier- sey, then rejoined us in September, 1939, so it can be seen that she's somewhat of a prodigal gal. She plans to enter the field of Social Service. ,-g ,,--1 I 1, K Eg P ,v ,,,, .ser feszf- -at . . PEIFFER, KENNETH Ken was a bit listless at the beginning of this school term, but we are glad to note that he now demonstrates a heads-up attitude. That he has music in his soul can be attested by his membership in our band and orchestra. He delights in making model airplanes. The up-and-coming aviation industry has first claim on his interest. PFLEUGER, ETHEL Ethel, although she is small, is never overlooked. for she always has a friendly smile and greeting for all her friends. of which she has many. Midge is interested in Tri-Hi-Y work. Strange though it may seem, she has taken the Commercial Course of study but plans to become a gym instructress. PHILLIPS, EILEEN Allegne-gnac-gnacl Yes, it's Eileen leading us in another cheer. Certainly next year's squad will miss this valuable member. When there's a skating party on. one can be sure this smilin' colleen is among those present. Although she has studied commercial work. she aspires to be a teacher. We wish thee well. Eileen! PICTON, DORIS Doris is a lovely person who certainly holds her own in a conversation. She is attractive and is a good dancer. We gather that this young lady is aiming to get the most out of life. Doris' reply to that popular song. A'Are You Having Any Fun? , must most emphatically be in the affirmative. PICUS, MARCELLA Have you noticed Marcie's ever neatly coiHured crowning glory? Marcella's foremost de- sire. it seems, is to aid and please others. She's musically inclined, too, for she and her flute were inseparable so far as band and orchestra duties were concerned. Tennis is her favorite outdoors sport. PLADAS, NORBERT Air-mindedness seems to be most catchy, for it has also caught the fancy of this one Norbert Pladas. Uncle Sam needs good fellows in this newly devel- oped field, Norbert. The course may be full of air pockets, but we hope that he may never lose sight of his goal. Some day we may point him out and proudly say, He graduated with our classln PONTER, ROBERT Bob Ponter's carrot top certainly sets an example for his favorite expression. Look alive. What an adventuresome soul is he who would take a sail- boat and go around the world, if he had the opportunityl Bob has been interested in commercial work. However. he, too, desires to enter the Army Air Corps. Baseball is his choice of outdoor sports. POORMAN, HARRY One always hears a lot about teams and their activities hut never much about the man- agers. Harry is one of these forgotten men, being the man- ager of the gym team. This lad is small--in fact, some people are amazed that he is a senior! He surely is no poor-man when it comes to humor, for he possesses an abundance of that.

Her ways are ways of gentleness. ln her spare moments she engages in dancing and skating Agnes plans to enroll in the Ford School of Business, then embark upon a stenographic career. PUDDII, RITA Absolute sincerity is the keynote in Rita's personality. She has that very creditable desire to do those things which are worthwhile and helpful to others. Rita is also a conscientious and reliable student. Though rather seriously inclined, she has a grand sense of humor. May her strivings to make this a better world in which to live be realized. QUINN, HAROLD Governor, as Quinnie is known to his chums, can beat a drum-and a rap!!-But definitely! A'Dewdrop is of the opinion that a fool and his money are some party! Quinnie possesses a dry sense of humor and enlivens any group of which he is a part. He's lots o' fun. May life be good to him! RADZIKAUSKAS, HELEN Helen contributed consider'- able zest to our school life with her cheerful, sunny ways She is an active member of the Tri-Hi-Y.

He's not bad looking, either. Ben is extremely fond of skating: in fact, he's almost a professional at it. He is interested in things of a commercial nature and may become an outstanding business man some day. We're for you, 'ABen. REBER, LESSIE lf eyes were made for seeing, then beauty is its own excuse for being, said Emerson. He must have seen a gal of Lessie's type when he was inspired to write this, for she fits into the picture very snugly. But listen to this: her ambition is to become a mortician. Well. blow me down, mates! REBER, WALTER Walt is one of our more serious- minded chaps: he is a real worker. His obstacles have been overcome by his perseverance, so. consequently. he has be- come quite successful in his school career. Walt must have lots of push and drive, for he usually can be seen delivering newspapers every afternoon in a very industrious Inannef. REDDINGTON, RITA Take a letter. Of course, Rita is always ready, for she is a capable student of things of a secretarial nature. Her favorite subject is shorthand. She expects to enter the Peirce School of Business. Among her hobbies are swimming and dancing. One can always find Rita with plenty of partners at any dance. A most viva- cious redhead she is! lil ! l l I 3 1 i ' - '5a'vW'f1XA- T ., l REEDY, BLANCHE Norwegian Township has given us Blanche, that energetic girl who never seems to be without a stick of chewing gum. Her ambition is to attend the Peirce School of Business and to become a typist or secre- tary. Blanche's favorite relaxation. one of the simplest, is walking. The Tri-Hi-Y has in her a loyal supporter. REHNERT, EDWARD Edward, better known as Eckie, is one of the active members of our famed gym team. Eckie's present chief end and aim in life is gym work and all its relationships. This little package of T. N. T. is, strangely enough, not considered dangerous. He is a jolly good fellow and sport. This nobody can deny. His favorite expression being O'K, we might add that we think he's O'K. .X R IFSNYD , AM S U el for Mrs Ines! E oJ Qfo l , w s hx lbw U he Wel l .

We now present Bryce Rcigle, artist of the day and vice-president of the P. H. S. Sketch Club. Perhaps some day his pictures will be winning prizes for being outstanding. At any rate. we know that his attempts will bear all the earmarks of sincerity. REILLY, CATHERINE Sh-h-h-hl Everyone, please give your attention! We want you to meet Kits Reilly, who shows promise of being one of our future opera stars. Cath- erine, taking the Academic course, plans to study for the concert stage or Grand Opera. Her lovely voice and pleas- ant disposition have won her many lasting friends, and we are sure she will attain her due measure of success in her chosen vocation. RICHARDS, STUART Many good things unfold them- selves quietly. In this manner Stu has made his way through good old P.H.S. He is quiet some times and keeps one wondering what will come next. What a speller he isllll Stu has declared that he is especially interested in getting into aviation in the near future. Whatever he tackles, we trust that he may come through with flying colors. RIEGEL, ROLAND Roland can be readily classed as one of those short. handsome young men with a nice disposition and an excellent sense of humor. His happy-go-lucky char- acter has made him a welcome friend in any group finclud- ing girlsl. His life ambition is to become a good salesman. Lady, l'm the original Fuller Brush man! RIEHL, CHARLES Charlie is one of those rare com- binations of an athlete and honor student. He has stood out admirably both as a member of the P. H. S. football squad and of the National Honor Society. Charlie's ambition in life is to become a member of the Naval Air Force.

RISSINGER, HARRY Calling all girls, calling all girls! Here we have Harry, another red-haired lad in our midst with a very likeable personality. He is a member of the ,Current Events Club, Chemistry Club, Library Club, and Hi-X. He also manifests a special interest in the sports of P. H. S. Some day he wishes to be a man in uniform - 'an aviator. The sky's the limit! ' 1 RITTTER, ARLEBN Ike possesses a personality and chfarm for' which anyone would give a million dollars. She is always ia demand at'dances and social gatherings, and ,it's'nu Wonder. She isla friendly girl with many friends. Afleen has beenfa member of the A Cappella Choir for three years. Her greatest asset is the ability to laugh at Old Man Woe. Good Luck, A'Nursie ! RITZKO, FRANK Frank and shop work are synonymous. Most of his time and energy are devoted industriously to this line of endeavor. Though not well known to us all, his intimate friends look upon him as an earnest and determined associate. We hope that he may excel in his chosen line of endeavor. RODGERS, GLORIA Hi, Iitterbug! This is Gloria's favorite expression, for dancing is her fun, and she executes it to perfection. But Gloria also is interested in commercial workg in fact, she tells us she would like to become a pri- vate secretary! lf she possesses as much ability in secre- tarial work as she does in dancing, we are sure she will realize her desire. rfqisiemw ,'-' 1 mel, - - , .. , ROEDER, ADELAIDE Boys, here's a mathematical prob- lem that anyone can Hgure out. Brains+capability+person- ality:??7 What? Right you arel Adelaide is the answer. Besides being very studious, Adelaide is a member of the Annual Staff, S. A. B., and the Phi Gamm. This blonde Miss would like to become a dress designer, but whatever her goal may be, we feel sure she will not be found lack- ing. ROSE, BETTY Beholdl Another member of the quiet, re- served group of Pottsville Hi is Miss Rose. But Betty always has a smile and helping hand for all. She is a brilliant student and one of the more efficient members of our class. Shorthand seems to appeal to Betty more than anything else, and some day we expect her to be the head stenog of a large Hrm. ROSE, MARY This student is as quiet as a lamb. She seems to believe that silence belongs on the gold standard. Although Mary is not very widely known, she appears to be quite bashful. We believe. however, that many people would appreciate her quiet friendliness. We wish her good fortune in whatever she undertakes in the business world. ROTH, BETTY Vivacity! Gaiety! Pep! Vim! Vigor! Charm! Personality!-add red hair and you have-Betty! Being a member of the Tri-HifY, an excellent dancer, and shedding joy seem to take up most of Betty's time. But she has devoted some of her efforts to the Commercial course, so we foretell a bright future. Redheads usually get breaks. so here's to you, Betty! ROTH, GEORGE Well, what's this? Oh dear, it's George, bedecked in overalls and completely covered with grease. Yes, he's feeling fine. but he has just been puttering around autos-as usual. His ambition in life is to be a ma- chinist, for which he seems well qualified. Although George has not participated in P. H. S. sports, he has enthusiasti- cally followed them through thick and thin. RUCH, ROBERT Ruchie, a wrestler, has proven him- self to be a valuable asset to Coach Steltzer's grapplers. This handsome member of the '40 class is an Industrial stu- dent, is particularly interested in joining the Navy and in becoming an airplane mechanic. Although he may seem quiet to some, Bob is a fine chap to know and takes plenty of time out for fun. RYAN, FRANCES Frannie came to P. H. S. the latter part of her junior year. Her ever-ready smile breaks forth like the sun from a cloudy sky, changing the gloom to mirth, One of her special hobbies is dancing, in which she is really talented. Frances seems efficient in commercial work, and we have hopes that she will prove this to her employer some day. SANDHERR, DONALD We present Donald, the provin- cial football herol Don played center on the Crimson and White Varsity and aided greatly in its numerous vic- tories. With eyes of blue, Smiler. as his nickname im- plies, has always a twinkling smile for everyone. He would like to attend a military school. We are sure that he will do well with so splendid a personality. SARTO, DOROTHY Dot is one of our mischievous Senior girls. She is always creating some fun for her friends-and how they enjoy her! This dark-haired Miss hails from the East Side. Aheml Nuf Sed! We are not sure of her ambition. What's it to be, 'ADot ? Somcbody's Stenog? Whatexfer it is, we are sure she will click in any undertaking. SAUERS, ANNA Anna is one of our ambitious young girls who wants to succeed in the business world. Short- hand is her chief interest, and typing runs a close second. Anna likes to read in her spare time. ln the near future she intends to enter the Ford School of Business. After that we venture to prophesy that she will be a leader in her chosen vocation. SCHAPPELL, VIOLET Here is a quiet and studious young lady, folks, who gains one's confidence with simple sincerity. When Vi does a thing, she does it well be- cause she wants to, not because she must. Why? Well. she finds happiness when she does her best. To become an office girl is Violet's ambition. May she ever continue to find happiness in her out-of-school life. SCHARGO, ELLA Ella. we believe, is of the opinion that work is worship, for she's at her best when performing some worthwhile task. She takes an active part in nearly every extra-curricular activity. What a girll She expects to enter Bloomsburg after leaving P. H.S. Orchids to you, Ella!

However, the class of '40 is proud of the part Paul has played as center of the P. H. S, drihblers. Academically, Paul is interested in sci- ence. His ambition is to be a doctor, so we might catalogue him as a future Man in White. SCHIELE, WILLIAM Bill, a devout science enthusiast, has taken the Academic course, intends to go to college to major in biology. In his spare moments and in study hall Bill looks very studious, but we wonder if he's not mak- ing captions instead of studying. You see, Bill's hobby is lettering, and he's mighty good at it. Girls just don't interest him. Wonder why??7 SCHLITZER, CATHERINE Sweet and quiet is the title affectionately placed on our Catherine, who has made many friends as a student among us. As is expected, Cath- erine wants to he a filing clerk. She is one of those girls who believe that Silence is golden, for we seldom hear her speak. But numerous friends have told us that she is quite jolly once she is set in motion. SCHNECK, RALPH Ralph never allows his work to in- terfere with his hobby-racing around in the car. Although we never heard of a polo team 'round here, Ralph claims that polo is his favorite sport. Football runs a close sec- ond. Ralph wants to travel and see the sights, especially the New York World's Fair. lt's to be better than ever this year, Schneck! SCHNEIDER, FLORENCE All successful candidates for the Verse Choir report to the Little Theatre at dis- missal today! Among the group which assembled as a result of this request was Florence. She was one of the Verse Choir pioneers. Swimming and dancing are her fav- orite oil'-the-record activities. SCHOLATO, EDWARD Might be, may be. will be! is A'Eddie's pet expression. Another appropriate saying he might add is. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. for his ambition is to become an undertaker. Shakespeare said. Cowards die many times before their death, so there s a tip-off for you, Ed. SCHRAMM, ROBERT Bob plans to enter the Peirce Business School to become an accountant. but from what we hear, he ought to stay right here and continue to teach bookkeeping-his favorite subject. He is Mr. Lindeman's ace in the hole. Bob feels that this office practice experi- ence has been invaluable. Basketball-playing is his favorite diversion. We doff our hats to this fine student. SCHREINER, ALLEN Whisk is a blond. generous. good-looking son of an insurance man. He possesses all the qualities one could desire in a true friend. Allen is a member of the A Cappella Choir and has been an ardent follower of sports and supporter of activities throughout his stay among us. Al also gets along with the fair sex. I i 2 SCHUMACHER, IOHN Under Iohnny's reserved man- ner shines a grand sense of humor. He aspires to become an author. He's at home on the stage. too. Either Cornell or Duke University is his immediate objective. Iohnny's interest in photography is no mere passing one, This ex- cellent dancer and gay companion has brightened the drab moments of many a P. H. S. Miss. SCHROPP, WILLIAM Five feet eleven and every inch a manl Big Stoopn is a big man with a big heart. Too lazy to work, too energetic to get into trouble, he has laughed his way through P. H.S. Schroppie is a fine chap to know. His imitation of a well-known dictator is tops. SENCOK, IOHN john, a diligent student, wants a good job. fAnything in particular, Iohnil His favorite school subject is salesmanship. So. reader, if you should happen to answer the door and someone says. Can l interest you mil , d0n't slam itl It may be john. Baseball is his favorite sport.

But we must not overlook the other side of Mildred, for she is a loyal and faithful worker of the Phi Gamma Lambda. The nursing profession is her goal, and she is sure to cure her patients with her own prescription-cheerfulness. SNYDER, ROBERT Good day. Madam. Did you call for a radio mechanic? Bob, whose chief hobby is, of course, the radio, will soon be on the job. This chap is quite hand- some. but he devotes the major portion of his time to his pet hobby. thus overlooking the opposite sex. Heaven can wait is what Bob evidently thinks. SOELLNER, WILLIAM Happy-go-lucky Bill l Few things dampen his spirits, which are always jovial. He has done his job well as all-around manager of athletics. There have been fellows who have loved books more than Bill, but not many equal him in warm friendliness and witty remarks. Incidentally, he lays claim to having written the poem Snow Bound THIRTY timesllll SPINELLI, VINCENT We are of the opinion that Miss Reid and Miss Hutchinson could write a more authoritative comment on Vince, for it seems that most-well. almost -of his high school life has been spent in the office. It is altogether probable that his perennial presence there can be explained by his interest in office and stenographic work as a vocation.ll? SPONTAK, PETER Over hill and dale Pete follows the course during the cross-country season. Perhaps his interest in speed is due to the fact that both the coach and he have the same name. He says little but thinks much. Always a loyal and industrious student, Pete has fin- ished the course in a creditable fashion. SPOTTS, DOROTHY Quiet, demure. and shy is she, but when it comes to willingness, Dot holds her own. This quiet lass moves along with little to say, but probably much is going on in her mind. She reserves her opinions but proffers that never-failing helpfulness whenever the occa- sion arises. SPOTTS, KATHRYN The piano yields to the skilful touch of Kathryn's Hngers. However. few are aware of the fact that she is mistress of the ivory key board. Blonde and witty, she is seldom without something to say. Her greatest interest in school appears to be history, but is it really the study of history which engages her attention??? STEIDLE, BETTY Underneath Betty's line reserve one finds a happy, fun-loving girl. Betty seems to like her studies but does not believe in taking them altogether too seriously. She is one who is extremely interested in ath- letics and does all in her power to boost P. H. S. in all athletic contests. Through calm and storm they have arrived ....

STERANKLE, MELVIN A snap-shooter and a souvenir collector-that's Melvinl Though he belonged to no clubs during his stay in P. H. S.. he took a very aggressive in- terest in his vocational studies. He was a Home Room Booster, but, Melvin, don't over-emphasize souvenir col- lecting and snap-shooting. It might cause trouble. STERLING, BETTE Bette's always laughing, never let- ting anything worry her. Her chief ambition is to be a nurseg she should make a good one. for her cheery dispo- sition should dispel her patients' misery. Have you ever noticed the attractive ways in which she wears her hair? Well - her mother's a hair-dresser. STERNER, ELIZABETH HBetty is very quiet. How- ever. underneath this outward calm can be found a deep understanding and a friendliness for all. Betty seems to take her studies rather seriously. Because of this We think she is bound to come out on top in whatever field she fhooses to specialize. Hats off to you, Betty, for the quality of stick-to-it-iveness is quite rare indeed, STERNER, VIRGINIA Ginny is small, but her quality cannot be gaugcd by her size. Her cheery laugh and friendly smile have won her many friends during her stay in P. H. S, She is looked upon as one of the gayest per- sons among us. May she laugh her way through life's school as she has laughed her way through school lifel STOFFA, MICHAEL Where's 'Mike'? is the day-in and day-out query which emanates from the locker-room during the football season. If Mr. Breslin doesn't ask for him, Mr. Rogowicz doesg if Mr. Allen isn't paging him, Mr. Steltzer is, Mike will realize shortly that Life, too, is continually making demands upon one, so he has a head start advantage on most of us. STROVINSKY, ALVIN Some day we feel that when we walk into a certain photographer's shop we'll see Al there manning the camera, ready to shoot us. Won't that be somethin'? Or will it? He is a student of the Aca- demic course. He plans to enter Temple University to complete his formal education. STYLER, MILTON Lots of brains here are wrapped up in one small unit-Styler. Short stature is no drawback to Milton's popularity. And what an affectionate attitude he takes towards femmes!

I-Ie saw the sea. Well, this old chant docsn't seem to influence Iohn's mind about being a sailor, for he has definitely decided to join the Navy. if the opportunity presents itself. Here's one guy who isn't afraid of being seasick, anyway. t1 SZCZEPANSKI, CHESTER Quiet but friendly, that's Chester. None can ever surpass that incomparable smile of his. He is particularly interested in automobiles, There- fore, whenever your car starts acting up-or doesn't act at all-just cry out for Chester. His friendliness and mechan- ical ability should always make for happy motoring. TASSONE, BERNICE Does everyone know Bernice? Well, l'1l sayl One cannot help noticing and admiring her. for she is one who participates in anything from which some fun will result. She is a happy-go-lucky girl-laugh- ing just enough, studying just enough. This swart-complex- ioned, mirthful girl is just what the doctor orderedl TASSONE, ROSE Rose has done everything set before her with a willingness which is almost astonishing. This and the fact that she is a sport in every sense of the word are only complementary to her natural beauty. Rose wishes to become somebody's stenog after she leaves high school. May she experience as much pleasure in this work as she seems to have gained from her varied activities during her student life. TERRILL, EMILY ln Emily we End a combination of very engaging characteristics. Whenever a good conversa- tionalist is needed, just call on Emily. She is of the opinion that he who is able to listen gets credit for being a charm- ing conversationalist. Her chief aim is to become a labor- atory or X-Ray technician. She literally wants to see THROUGH people. eh? TERWAY, FRANCIS Terway is a sincere, conscientious student. His every day endeavors demonstrate that he is of the same opinion as the poet, Robert Browning, who said, A man's reach should never exceed his grasp, or what's a Heaven for! ln other words, though we can never attain the ideal state, we are stronger for the effort. We salute himl THOMAS, HELENE Outwardly Helene appears to he an extremely quiet girl. And she's really no doubting Thomas, eitherl Helene has the fine qualities which make for real friendship.

Her school-girl olive complexion blends excellently with her discriminating choice of clothes. She has a most pleasing personality and winning smile. Eleanore was an enthusiastic spectator at the majority of our athletic contests. TRANOSKY, MARY Mary is loved by all her classmates because of her endless reserve of smiles, giggles, and wise- cracks. Wherever Mary is seen, there can be seen a crowd of happy smiling faces. Such gladness and cheerfulness should help this sometimes-rather-dull world look rosy to Mary. VISNEFSKI, RITA We believe the word ubiquitous- that is, everywhere present- best describes Rita. for truly she flits here. there, and everywhere. She is extremely in- terested in sports and derives much pleasure from partici- pating in them. She plans to become a gym teacher or camp counsellor. VOGELSANG, MARY This little mite is really mighty! Mary is well known by all of us because of her friendli- ness to everyone. Her face is always wreathed in smiles. One of her more pressing duties this year was to carry ofiice messages to the various homerooms. May she ever be the bearer of the message of cheerfulness and goodwill. i l., WACHTER, VIRGINIA Among her classmates, Ginny is Popular because of her sincere qualities of leadership. During her Iunior year she had the distinction of being instrumental in the formation of the Current Events Club. i'Ginny should be able to obtain the secretarial job she so sincerely wants, for she's one who sees her duty and performs it. WAGNER, FRANK Frank is desirous of becoming a top- notch machinist. Skilled mechanics are in demand, so we feel that he will be provided with the opportunity to do his stuff. Frank's quite handy with a rifle. too. He's con- spicuous by his absence from school at the opening of each deer-hunting season. WAGNER, STANLEY It seems that the Wagners in par- ticular have mechanical inclinations. Stanley is no excep- tion. Shop work is evidently his sole interest. l'le's a very quiet chap, having little to say. Probably he plans to let his hands do all the speaking for him! WALLACE, MARY Mary lays claim to being a humor- ist, for she is continually amusing her friends with her witticisms. She also is a musician and belongs to the or- chestra. One might see only the one side of her-the social. However, we know she is a willing worker and will try to do any task set before her. She expects to enter a hospi- tal to prepare herself to become a nurse. , ,Mx I1 s L WALCHAK, IOHN Attention, sick-car ownersl Your worries are over. for lohn is getting a D.

To attend a school of higher learning is his immediate obiective. Warren is a quiet as well as a persistent chap, He is another of our many unsung hu- morists and keeps his friends constantly amused. He's rather complacent academically but can turn on the heat when the occasion demands. WATERS, GRACE If you happen to see a car go by crowded with girls, you'll know that Grace is at the wheel, She is quite skilful in the art of driving as well as in the art of studying. Her ambition is to teach or to be an in- terior decorator. Whichever she may choose. may she he equally as skilful in the art of living. WAZALIS, DANIEL We present in Dan one of the mainstays of our hardwood-floor performers. Dan is quite spectacular and has played hard for P. H.S. He certainly is at home in the Wood Shop. There, with his white apron. a piece of two by four-or something-and his trusty machine, he is more than happy in spending every entire morning of each school day. Smooth lathing. Danni WEAVER, HARLAND Did you ever see my etchings? might be Harland's opening barrage. Seriously. though, he really possesses excellent artistic ability. The division pages of this edition of HI-S-POTTS bespeak his unusual talent and careful attention to details. Fine sketching, etching, inking, drawing, or what have you in the field of Commercial Art, Weaver! WEBER, IANE lane is one of P. H. S.'s most poised girls. Then, too. she's refreshing, wholesome looking, and retains that charming air even when she giggles, which is often. Singing and piano playing are the things she enjoys doing most. lane desires to be either a nurse or to enter the realm of music. May good fortune be hers in what- ever her lot is cast. WEDROW, THERESA Theresa's foremost urge is to become a nurse. She has acquired many friends during her days in high school because of her charming manner. Her hobbies are reading. movies, and tennis. We need not say Good luck, for we know that she will not sit back and wait for Lady Lucky she will make her own breaks. VVEHNER, ELEANORE Eleanore is one of those persons who appear to be so quiet and solemn, but one simply doesn't know Miss Wehner. if that's his opinion.

We trust that this clean-cut chap may do exceedingly well in his chosen endeavor. WINDLEBLECK, THOMAS Tom is one of our Homp- pah boys. He plays the trombone in the hand, but aviation seems to hold flrst claim on his interest. After graduating, he expects to attend the Chicago Aeronautical University. Tom has taken the General Clerical course and seems to have done rather well. We extend our wishes to him when he goes soaring through the stratosphere. WELKER, IOLA lola's truly an unusual lass. She doesn't get the chills when she thinks of a corpse, for she plans to become an undertaker, fFrankly, we're scared stiff-and we mean STIFF!!!J Our thoughts now wander to Shakes- peare: The evil men do lives after them: the good is oft interred with their bones. At any rate, we wish Iola well in her mortician-extraordinary role. WENTZEL, IOAN This gay lass hails from Mechanics- ville. loan has a contagious sense of humor. She keeps her friends rocking with laughter whenever she is in their pres- ence. Her cheerful outlook on life is one of her big assets. Athletics hold her interest, both from a spectator's as well as a participant's standpoint. To be a nurse is loan's im- mediate objective. WESTON, DOROTHY IANB Dottie is truly repre- sentative of the cream of the crop of '40 and has created an enviable niche for herself through the medium of her remarkable abilities. She's also lots of fun and has an ex- tremely pleasing personality. Her ambition is to become an interior decorator. We feel confident that she'll also excel in this endeavor. WILLIAMS, BETTY One would have to go far to find is girl with a more radiant personality than Betty's. She likes to treat people squarely and fairly. Dancing and all kinds of sports are her favorite diversions. She intends to become a nurse after graduation. May she find much joy in lead- ing such a life of usefulness! 3 f 1 'PK xaaef.

She. too. expects to become a nurse and should do well in this endeavor. My friends. what a pleasure it would be to be sick if Nancy were standing by! WINTERER, NORMA Norma is a raven-haired, must attractive young lady who refutes the adage that beauty and brains arcn't on speaking terms. She is one of Me- chanicsville's most notable contributions to P. H. S. May this soft-spoken brunette find life equally as attractive as we've found her. WONDERS, VIRGINIA Ginny hasn't been so well- known in that she didn't spend the entire four years with us, but those close to her look upon her as an extremely merry and lovable person. She. too, is one of our better students, having made a creditable showing in her every day duties. Ginny plans to follow in her father's foot- steps and become an ace photographer. Watch the birdie!! YAROWSKY, MAE Mae has all the qualities of a charm- ing young lady. In fact, she is most likeable and sweet. Although somewhat shy, she is a friend to everyone.

YOUNG, DONALD Here's a boy who has hopes of help- ing to protect our country. Donald is going to join the navy-and see the world, we presume. He's a Commercial student and has the ability of sticking to a subject until he has mastered it. Skating seems to be his hobby. He also seems to enjoy whizzing hither and yon in his car. ZACKO, JOSEPH loc is one of our Beau Brurnmels. He dances smoothly. wears slick clothes, and is rather handsome. What more can one ask? His chief interest is airplanes. He can speak intelligently upon that subject for hours. Ice isn't exactly what one might call studious. but he does do a bit of work. He's also a candid camera fiend. UQuick, Watson, my camera!

The objects of the Society are 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. This year the Society undertook to inspire scholarship among the under- classmen by awarding a certificate of achievement to the Freshman and Soph- omore student with the highest scholastic average for each six-weeks period. A certificate of recognition was presented to the organization having tha high- est percentage of members on the six-weeks' honor rolls. In order to determine whether the amount of homework carried by the average student in the various curricula was excessive, the Society conducted a survey along this line.

The amount of 511900, which was collected for the benefit of the unfortunate children of this city at Christmas time, was used to purchase candy, oranges, dolls, and toys. The Council also sponsored a Christmas party for the small children of the faculty members and for the brothers and sisters of the Council members. The Constitution Committee is a new addition to this representative group. and it was formed for the purpose of adding articles to the Council's Consti- tution. As in previous years. the Student Council ad charge of the decorations for the Pottsville High School football banquet. he members also acted as guides when the P. S. E. A. held its annual convent n in this city. A questionnaire was circulated among on the honor students for the pur- pose of obtaining opinions on the problem of t amount of homework students were receiving. This survey was the result o the Council's cooperative spirit with the high school students. The most outstanding social even of ar was, of course, the annual All School Dance.

S Ng g ROBPRT HIFKS 0 Phi Gamma Lambda Phi Gamma Lambda has finished its fourteenth year of glorious work. Every effort has been made to fulfill the principles - better reading, better writing, and better speaking - for which this honorary oratorical society of Pottsville High School stands. The activities of 1939-40 opened promisingly with the addition of live new members from each of the sophomore, junior, and senior classes. Phi Gam girls worked unceasingly selling programs at all the home football games. The annual Thanksgiving Dance was a success, to put it mildly. At Christmas time the lovely old custom of having a reunion was revived, During this season the girls, as usual, filled stockings for the Children's Home. The New Year dawned with the prospect of five new freshmen who were chosen and initiated in the latter part of Ianuary. Phi Gam Week, one looked forward to by everyone, was observed the week of April 15. During this period Phi Gam had charge of the assembly programs, having presented a speaker, an artist, and produced a play. This eventful week was brought to a reluctant close by the annual Spring Dance. The usual picnic fittingly concluded the year's many activities.

The T. K. D. was organized in 1925, thus making it the oldest continued, strictly stu- dent organization in the school. A form of scholarship fund payable to a worthy student is the organization's outstanding contribution to the school. Because of this fund, many boys who would have otherwise been forced to discontinue for financial reasons were able to complete their high school education. Some of the activities of the organization include the holding of the Thanks- giving Dance for students and alumni, the operating of the concession stand in cooperation with the Student Council, and the sponsoring of pep dances and a movie, A spring dance and a banquet for members and alumni are also part of the year's program. Near the close of each school term, seven new members are elected - three juniors, two sophomores, and two freshmen. To be eligible. a student must be outstanding in at least one school activity, show qualities of leadership, and have a satisfactory scholastic standing, Initiation of the new members takes place during a set week near the end of the school term. Tau Kappa Delta works quietly but, nevertheless, elliciently and has always backed every school activity to the best of its ability. When the call for vol- unteers is given, T. K, D, is always among the first to respond. The current members of the society are Charles Riehl, Henry Ost, Henry Weissinger, George Thompson, Robert Hicks, Matthew Maley, Richard Bevan, Ioseph Krederavage, Ioseph Dolan, Charles Boyer, Anthony Ventresca, Tack Stoner, and William Mahall.

The membership in this club is limited to thirty students. ln order to become a member, one is required to give two selections, one optional and one required. The judges consist of the oflicers 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 dramatics. 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 to encourage them to do their share in developing a high standard for dramatic production in the school. With unwav- ering enthusiasm, the charter members have worked to make their club worthy of this high purpose. At every meeting, a program is presented. This is to promote the dramatic ability throughout the club. lt is the plan of the players to present publicly one full evening's entertain- ment each year.

This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Library Club. The first week in November was devoted to the club's anniversary. One of the highlights was a question bee, Ask Me Another, entirely made up of questions per- taining to books and their authors. Many books, magazines, and newspapers were given to the library during Book Week, an annual affair sponsored by the club for the library. It has been a custom of the members of the Library Club to act as aides in the library during study periods under the supervision of Miss Albanese, the faculty adviser. The meetings are held the second and fourth Wednesday of each month. After the business portion of the meetings is completed, programs are held con- cerning the important events of each month. The dues of the club are fifty cents per annum. The members of the Library Club are concerned not only with the P. H. S. library but also with those in outlying towns.

The club sponsored a roller skating party in December. ln the future the group hopes to take trips to art museums, present marionette shows, sponsor another skating party, and award scholarships to worthwhile art students. Un various nights of the week the club members hold life and modeling classes. The Sketch Club, which is composed of seventeen leading art students, started its fifth year of existence by electing Harland Weaver president: Bryce Reigle, vice-presidentg Dolores Kluvo, secretary, and Iohn Fiorillo, treasurer. Miss Isabelle Zerbe is the capable adviser to this group.

The Home Economics girls have pledged themselves to carry out three major objectives by which they uphold the purpose of the club. The first is WEL- FARE, which includes the making of stuffed Christmas toys for distribution to the poor and needy children of the community. fAt Easter time, baskets are filled for similar purposeslg second, PERSONAL IMPROVEMENT, which includes lectures and demonstrations 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, programs, and refreshments are all home-made by the members. Membership rating is based on scholarship, interest, cooperation, and ini- tiative.

IEAN BECK President The Candid Camera Club The Candid Camera Club is one of the most recently formed organizations of the school, having been established in the term of '37-'38. The interest cre- ated by the club made it necessary to increase the membership. Although handi- capped in its initial year, it is now becoming one of the foremost organizations of the school. The objects of the club are to foster interest in photography among the stu- dents and faculty, to provide them with an interesting extra-curricular activity, to provide a means of keeping a permanent record of school activities, and to help the individual member enhance his knowledge and work in photography. In all extra-curriculum work the maintenance of the student interest is essential. For that reason, photography may be regarded as an excellent recreation or hobby well worthy of attention. The interest in photography tends to increase with age, It has the advantage of being just difficult enough to challenge effort, yet easy enough to be accomplished with satisfying results.

'XNIJ f lift-idcn' - -- AC' ' The S -Potts Newspaper The Hi-S-Potts Newspaper marked the 12th anniversary of its founding by the establishment of two all-time records. One was the winning of a national championship at the Columbia Scholastic Press Conference in New York City in the spring of 1939. The other was the editing in the past fall of the first eight-page newspaper in Pottsville I-ligh history. Great honor and credit for the publication of one of the finest 'fsheetsn on the journalism record of Pottsville must be given to the two editors, Ruth Smith. '41, and Stanley Bergstein, '41, and the capable staff of advertising managers, Phyllis Miller, Carolyn Malick, Amelia Morris, and Emily Terrill, all of the Class of 19410. With little experience they rapidly swung into the same fast pace and high standard which has characterized the Hi-S-Potts in recent years. For their faith- fulness, loyalty, and hard work, Pottsville High School owes them high tribute. STANLEY BERGSTEIN RUTH SMITH Lo-Editors AMELIA MORRIS CAROLYN MALICK PHYLLIS MILLER EMILY TERRILI. MR. CARLTON R. STERNER Associate Business Managers Faculty Advise, The Chemistry Club The Chemistry Club is a newcomer in Pottsville Highs roster of organiza- tions. For many years students especially interested in chemistry have sought for a chance to do laboratory work. This year a group who intend to continue with chemistry as their life work voiced their desire for after-school experi- mentation. Consequently, on Ianuary ll, 1940, the Student Council granted a charter to the Chemistry Club. Meetings are held in the Chemistry laboratory on alternate Thursday alt- ernoons, After a short business session, the entire meeting is given over to individual experiments of many different types. One of the main projects for 1940 has been the cultivation of plants without soil in chemically treated water. This being its first year of life, the club activities were rather slow in start- ing, but, under the competent guidance of Mr. Nuebling, the adviser, a solid foundation has been established for the years to come.

And the people loiter as they pass by And linger and listen and wish again That they might be joining the last refrain. Frank W. Moser, a former principal of our high school, in the above quota- tion has very aptly expressed the sentiments of the entire student body in regard to the annual presentation of the Minuet. It is indeed a pleasure year after year to present this charming yet dignified dance of our highly regarded ancestors This year the Minuet, under the able direction of Miss Dorothy Critz, was presented before the Assembly and visitors on February 21, 1940, and several performances were given throughout the week at various teas and meetings. No presentation of this dance would be complete without the descriptive prologue. This was rendered by Adele Lilienthal in her own inimitable manner.

Directed by Earl W. Haviland and inspired by vigorous student leaders chosen by the members, the choral groups of 1940 have maintained and advanced the high cultural standards established by former choirs. Pride of achieve- ment in a concert repertoire of high musical quality and wide appeal to singers and audiences has ever served to inspire the members of these various choral groups to present their very best -fa most natural and gratifying result.

The program was dedicated to the better understanding of other national cultures. through the singing of many European and Latin American songs. The axiom that art knows no barrier of national frontier or racial prejudice was abundantly justified by the joyous and sympathetic presentation of English, lrish, German, Finnish, Russian, French, Czecho-Slovak, Iugo Slav, Cuban, Mexican. and native American compositions. The rich flavor of several European folk songs was enhanced by dances in national cos- tume, directed by Miss Hannah Chadwick of the Physical Edu- cation Department.

The Associated Choirs, in addition to their own public concerts and assembly programs, sponsored the appearance in Pottsville of the Heidelberg College Concert Choir and the Motet Choir of Susquehanna University, Each organization sang in assembly. The Motet Choir also gave a Sunday evening concert at the local Trinity Lutheran Church. The senior groups, the A Cappella Choir, the Choral Ensemble, and the Verse Choir, gave brilliant performances at the Christ- mas Concert and the Musical Festival. lf proof were needed of their ability to please discriminating audiences, it could be found in the second visit to the Bloomsburg State Teachers College on December ll, and the third annual concert at Susquehanna Uni-f versity on May 1, . i f if in -sf G ' 2, 1: . - Q s tt ' ,, - 7 if 'ff 9 -arm 15 : ar 5 -f .Q s2i :eaJ' +f 2. f if' 'Se C5542 1: 2 Q- r .-an ii t 'ii . arise f PT' ee 'K Q1-:A Q. 1 e ai s 5 - r . rafsefsife Q it sf- .r,A 1 -5,4 5 -, A at z 'F rl ,l .

He Wrote, It has been the cus- tom at Susquehanna to have an outstanding school choir sing for the faculty and student body each year. After hearing the remarkable work of your Choir, which, for vitality and sponta- neity, as well as comprehensive musical quality I consider unsur- passed, it is the consensus of faculty and students that we want you to return next year. The choral effectiveness of these groups has been enhanced by the visual appeal of well disciplined, thoroughly organized per- sonnel, beautifully robed in white satin and maroon vestments. The Iunior Choir, the Iunior Girls' Choral Club, and the Fresh- man Choir have steadily improved in musical skill and cultural understanding during the year. Participation in public concerts and assembly programs, and acceptance of the educational ideals and aims of the Associated Choirs have demonstrated the ability of large numbers of younger singers to achieve choral excellence, to merit program sharing with well-trained and experienced chor- isters, and, most essential of all, to find in the active participation of the choral art deep and abiding spiritual rewards. ,-89,-, V V Ss' s .e.e. fp .-255: F'. if-4' of L, gf .

Band made its initial appearance in the 1939-40 school year when it participated in the dedicatory ceremonies of the Veterans' Memorial Stadium on September 8, 1939. Everyone was thrilled to see that the band numbered one hundred members and that a distinct innovation had been made by the addition of two pretty majorettes, the Misses Alyce Kennedy and Miriam Starr, who were strikingly uniformed in the traditional crimson and white. This was the first time in the history of the school that the one hundred mark in membership had been reached. The increased number greatly en- hanced the drilling routines and gave a wider variety to the various letter formations which thrilled the football audiences throughout the season. The band met with praise on all sides and was repeatedly complimented on its splendid appearance and excellent musicianship by persons of the highest - X If w fff' ' ' ,U , fc..

As a unique mark of ap- preciation for the splendid work done by the leader of the band, Mr. Leo F. Minnichbach, the students of the Bethlehem High School presented him with a large basket of chrysanthemums when the band ap- peared in their stadium. This is the first time, to our knowledge, that such an honor has been bestowed upon the band by the student body of another high school. The mid-winter concert given on February lst saw the welcome reappearance of Mr. Albertus Meyers, director of the Allentown Band, as guest conductor, who brought with him as guest cornet soloist Mr. Earl Heater. Both were enthusiastically received by the appreciative audience which more than filled the auditorium. Mr. Meyers paid high tribute to the band, saying that it was not only the finest high school band that he had ever conducted but also that it had shown marked progress since his appearance here a year ago. Included in their program was the Golden Sceptre Overture by Schlepegrell, which was performed that same week by the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra under Eugene Ormandy. This is mentioned merely to give the reader some idea of the very high type of music the P. H. S. Band is including in its reper- toire. At the spring concert, Mr. Henri Elkan was guest conductor. Internationally known for his work as associate conductor of the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra for opera and ballet, Mr. Elkan was most enthusiastically received and spoke in highly flatter- ing terms of our High School Band. During the spring the band accepted a pressing invitation to give a concert at Susquehanna Univer- sity, which was considered a distinct honor. The organization was enthusiastically received and was invited by the University to play a return engage- ment next season. ,-.,..

Ever higher has been its constant aim, and this year the playing of such numbers as the famous Andante Cantible from the Tschaikowsky Fifth Symphony, and the Water Music, by Handel, especially arranged for string orchestra. well attest the high standards achieved. Mr. Albertus Meyers, guest conductor at the mid-winter concert, was most lavish in his praise of the organization. He said, The artistic finish with which the orchestra plays the high class numbers included in its varied repertoire unquestionably marks it as one of the first rank. Much of this credit is due to the untiring efforts of the director, Mr. Leo F. Minnichbach. Particularly delightful in the spring concert was the playing of the Strauss Waltzes. The program also included the majestic Introduction to the Third Act of Lohengrinf' by Wagner. This tremendous work requires the highest type of musicianship, and the audience greeted its performance with a highly appreciative ovation. Worthy of particular mention is the work of the quartet of french horns. which was really outstanding despite the marked improvement in all the other sections of the orchestra. ln the rendition of the above-mentioned selection from Lohengrin, these horns added that unique tonal quality which is so pleas- ingly characteristic of the full symphony orchestra. Mr, Henri Elkan, the noted associate conductor of the Philadelphia Sym- phony Orchestra, composer, and arranger, acted as guest conductor at the spring concert Probably no other conductor among the many famous person- ages who have been brought here to direct our orchestra has had the varied background enjoyed by Mr. Elkan. His career as a conductor is as varied as it is great. He directs opera for the Philadelphia Opera Company, conducts the famous Catherine Littlefield Ballet, the Wanamaker Band and Chorus, and a host of other organizations, so that all praise which he gave to the orchestra is to be considered highly, since it came from such a great personage. This year the orchestra numbered eighty members, with all the various symphonic instrumental groups well represented. The fact that P. H. S. instru- mental graduates are welcomed into membership by the finest college bands and orchestras is adequate proof of the high standard of training they are receiving here. .-.92.-.

ALLEN Head Coach .,... ec , , if W 2 ' 41 W The 1939 Record Pottsville High pried off the lid of what proved to be another highly success- ful gridiron season Friday night, September 8 with a 13-0 victory over Saint Clair. Nearly 7,500 fans turned out to see the 1939 edition of the Crimson Wave and the oflicial dedicatory ceremonies of the Veterans Memorial Stad- ium, in which Pottsville paid one of its highest tributes to the city's soldiers of three wars. Bud Evans and Red English provided the scoring punch in the first and fourth quarters, respectively. The Saints failed to get beyond Pottsville's thirty-yard line at any time throughout the contest. Windber High, in the season's most important intersectional game, was defeated 12-0 the following Friday night, September 15, before approximately 8,000 spectators. Bud Evans made the initial touchdown on a spectacular 86-yard run early in the game and the second on a short center plunge after his teammates had advanced 62 yards on eight plays. Coach Allen's team showed improvement over its opening game showing. Besides Evans, Maley and English gained well, Grillith was expert in stopping opposing runs, and Whitey Matthews very effectively roamed the field, making tackles at will. On Saturday, September 23, the Crimson Tide aided Lebanon High dedicate its new Sl00,000 stadium before an overflow crowd of 6,000, but the invaders more or less spoiled the occasion for the homesters by racking up a 32-0 triumph. Co-captain Evans again made some sensational runs, having gone 63 yards on one of the most spectacular gains ever made by a Pottsville High back. Leba- non sports writers said that he was easily one of the best backfield men ever seen at that place. Co-captain Griflith and Tony Ventresca also tallied, and English dashed 17 yards in the final period to complete the scoring. Little Dick Bevan, too. played honest-to-goodness football throughout the game. On a field that was drenched by rain which ceased falling only a few hours before game time, the wear- ers of the Crimson defeated Lansford, 14-0, on the night of September 29. Two long runs by the elus- ive Evans did the damage, the local Co-captain hav- ,L ulbvlnl ing wended his way for 43 yards on one and 34 on the other. They came in the first and second quar- ' if ters, respectively. Ventresca and English ran the 2' ball over for the extra points. Early in the final period Q 1 V ,A. Lansford threatened most seriously, but P. H. S. held on the one-foot line. ' ' .. -i -.4r::?-1.3-1 . in :: ' -fzssaaz.-1.1. . '12 MM .f:21Q:71:-17. ' - . ,.-,, .. .... ,.,.:.:.---.

S. gridders their first defeat of the season, 12-6, before 14,000 onlookers on the afternoon of October 14. Two interceptions harmed Pottsville's chances early in the contest when everything seemed favorable, and separate long runs by Majczan and Husosky swung the game. ln the final period, after a sustained drive, Tony Ventresca, a Crimson back, took a lateral from English on the Hurricane 15-yard stripe and raced around left end for a touchdown. ln one of those games in which everything went the right way for the win- ners and everything wrong for the losers, Easton, playing in the Crimson's back yard, turned back the local lads, 25-0, Saturday afternoon, October 21, before 8,500 fans. Co-captain Walt Griffith, however, played magnificently for his team. He made tackles all over the field and oftimes out of position. lt was not an uncommon sight to see him catch runners going around the opposite end, thus having stopped cut-backs. Rute, Rothenhauesler, and Top- per were the Easton aces. The rebound came when P. H. S. caged the Allentown High Canaries, 6-0, at the latter place Friday night, October 28, in a game which was played on a heavy pool-studded turf. Allentown outgained the winning club and once advanced to the Pottsville three-yard line. However, late in the final quarter 'ABob English set sail on a sensational 35-yard voyage to pay-off mud. George Grava's excellent punting was a life-saver in this panic. Piif played well for the Canaries. The seventh victory of the season was obtained at the expense of William Penn High of Harrisburg on the local gridiron, Friday night, November 3, the score having been 19-0. Evans regained his touchdown stride and scampered off on two goal-line runs of 46 and 64 yards, respectively. The third score was realized on a pass from Evans to Grava. Frequent fumbling hindered both elevens. On the night of November 10, Coach Allen's charges came from behind to defeat Tamaqua, 19-7. before 6,500 fans at the Veterans Memorial Stad- ium. Although early misplays were costly, a 65-yard run by 'ABud Evans pulled his team out of the hole, the Blue Raiders having scored first on a 47-yard sustained drive in the opening period. Bob Eng- lish and Tony Ventresca scored in the third and fourth quarters, respectively. Before the largest crowd t14,000l ever to witness a sports event at Hazleton, the Mountaineers turned back a fighting, valiant, and stout-hearted P. H. S. crew, 21-6, on Friday night, November 18. Over 5,000 loyal and enthusiastic local fans were on hand to cheer for Pottsville High, Hazleton scored twice in the first quarter on long runbacks of punts by Cheverko and Andrejco, though the Mountaineer attack from scrimmage was stopped dead through- out that period. ln the third quarter Evans carried '-' CO-CAPTAIN BUD EVANS the ball into pay dirt on a lateral from English, What a game! And what spirit every P. H. S. lad displayed! The curtain was rung down on the '39 season in a blaze of glory and the plaudits of over 10,000 fthe best of the season and the third best in P. H. S. historyl loyal followers of both teams when Coach Allen's boys conquered the Reading High Red Knights, 26-7, on the doubly glorious Thursday afternoon. November 23 f- truly a day of Thanksgiving for all P. H. S. enthusiasts. In spite of the apparently one-sided score, this game was highly exciting. Until the final quarter the score was only 7-0 in Pottsville's favor. The feature of this period was that brilliant 67-yard run by Bob English. 'iCharlie Riehl. too, played exceedingly well, as did all his teammates. P. H. S.

MR. GLIERTLER MR. BUTLER MR. WILBLIR MR. STELTZER MR. DIMMERLING A ssociate Coachm -98.. Jill. if rg. 4 .K The 1939 team won nine of twelve games for the fine percentage of .750. ln the East-Central Con- ference, five victories were attained against three defeats for the good percentage of .625. Only three Pottsville High teams since the turn of the century turned in a better record than did the 1939 outfit. Those of 1919, 1937, and 1938 each lost and tied one, while this year's club lost three. Pottsville's best physical game happened to be against William Penn, or perhaps against Hazleton. The best tactical game was either against Hazle- ton or Windber. The former game, in spite of the defeat, was excellently conceived, with Hazleton un- able to make any long gains from scrimmage. Pottsville was at its season's worst against Easton, when a number of misplays, coupled with Easton's peak of the season, made the score larger than it should have been. Misplays cost the Bethlehem game, too, though there weren't many of them. Bud Evans' first touchdown run against Leba- non was the most spectacular of the season. As for the most dramatic run, it was Bob Eng- lish's 35-yard winning touchdown run at Allentown. in the last two minutes. That was when Pottsville had its back to the wall, after two successive defeats. and when another defeat would have been most dis- heartening. English did the same thing when Pottsville played against Reading, except that his run was 67 yards and that later figures made it seem less dramatic. The 1939 season was unique in the fact that it marked the fourth successive time a Pottsville High team has defeated Reading High and in that P. H. S. vanquished Windber for the second successive time, Windber having been a power in the Western Con- ference, not having lost any other game throughout the season. -99... nv., I - 1 '7 'F I fl l' , ' K 4 . .
