Careful, Bertha! She seems to pay no attention to the so-called ACHENBACH, ROBERT This young man of few words is one of our Shop boys. Many are not aware of B0b's efforts, but silently and efficiently he has worked here among us in P. H. S. He's going to be a draftsman Cand we don't mean he's included in the recent draftll. This lad would like to visit the land of eternal sunshine, California. May the sun ever shine on him! ACKALYSKY, VVILLIAM Vl'e look upon UBill with awe and amazement. Vl'hy? VVell, his favorite subjectfhold on to your hats!-is math. Think, student! is his pet expression, and how he does practice what he preaches! This likeable, learned chap will go on to Columbia University to prepare himself to become an electrical engineer. More power to you, Bill l ACKER, VIVIAN HShels little, but she-'s wiseg she's a terror for her size. Such is VivianA-a member of the Phi Gamma Lambda, an able typist, and a second Madame Defarge, for how she can knit! f'Sis has a gregarious instinct-that is, she never likes to be alone. ller one ambition is to see America first. Bon voyage, rt - H Sis. ADAMS, JEAN Easy going, lots of fun, and always efficient is Jean Adams. A little mite with tons of pep, vim, and vitality is she. Jean has a wide circle of friends, and one can always hear her cheery voice among them. Hiking is her favorite hobby. Mighty fine is an apt epithet for jean. ANTOKOLITZ, NORMA Norma is a girl who really appreciate: the Hne arts. Dramatics, sketching, and music are tops with her. Her desire is to become a commercial designer. She plans to attend Carnegie Institute of Art and Music. Norma, an able tennis player, was a rabid partisan at all Crimson and VVhite football games. it Wy! ARTZ, HARPER VVe know llarper as a tall, dark, likeable lad hunting or rifle handling, just ask Harper. He's a real Nimrod. K Don't forget that rabbit next season, Harp ! Artz has been an ctive member of the band and Hi-Y during his stay on The Hill. D from a suburb of Pottsville. If you want to know anything about AULENBACH, MARY ELLEN Mary Ellen is like a precious stone among us-a diamond, no less! This embryo Sonja Henie can be found during the winter season on any one of the many ponds of our region gliding gracefully over the surface of the ice fno funny cracks, pleaselj, What a kick she gets out of living. ,sro BACKERT, BERTHA Whiz! ! There goes Bertha on her bicycle. , stronger sex-that is, in school! Her winning smile and generous Q nature have laid claim to many friendships during her four years A - among us.

We who have known her longer appreciate her as a witty conversationalist and a jolly good friend. Dancing is her chief hobby, swimming is her favorite sport. What an ideal secretary Isabel will make! BALSIS, EDWARD This tall, light - complexioned, ambitious, young man 'is just one of the many of our classmates interested in aeronautics. His chief hobby is modeling airplanes. That his efforts in this line of work will hear fruit can not he doubted. He is eager tn become associated with a commercial airline concern. In a few years Ed will be one of the wings over America. BANKES, LEROY I.eRoy's chief end and aim in life is to become a traffic manager. All who have seen Bankes tap dance must admit that he'll be most prohcient in side-stepping his way through traflic. This scholarly looking chap will be an enrollee in the University at Pennsylvania in '42 - he hopes! S0 do we! BARBETTA, ELEANOR In Eleanor we present one of the most unobtrusive members of our class. She comes and goes, pays strict attention to her own affairs, and troubles no one. She's completely in her glory when she can pick out a nice soft spot from which she can listen to a concert. Next year Eleanor expects to trudge up to Bunker llill to Penn State Center. BARKER, JAMES Mr. Barker is A quiet kind of chap who has something more than nonsense stored up within his head. jim has taken the Industrial Course, for he ir an industrious young man. He has two chief desires: to become an aviator or to become a draftsman. Surely he need not depend solely upon Dame Fortune in attaining either objective. BAUSBACII, VIRGINIA Virginia is one of our Home Economics students, and she is economical-and attractive. fWhat are you guys waiting for?j She can be counted on to help in anything, be it work or mischief. Virginia took German for two years and, what's more, liked it. May she always spend wisely her time, her efforts, and her cash! K 5 is Qf f'fDl' tv -F u V BE HTEI.,xE ITH YI-ler voice was ever soft, gentle and low- an excellent thing in a,woman. Yes, friends, she is reserved and quiet. Edith was never known to break any of the rules and regu- lations of the school. Shelis a marvel when it comes to roller skat- ing and volley ball. May Life never grow dull for her! ISERGSTEIN, STANLEY Bergstein and the Ht-S-PoT'rs news- paper are synonymous. Stanley certainly has excelled in his most responsible position as co-editor. Asking questions, arguing vocif- erously, and scooping hot-off-the-griddle newsbreaks are his meat and drink. This clean-cut, industrious chap aspires to whet further his journalistic appetite at the University of Michigan. Bergstein edits the news! Page E level: ' THE PLAYERS G .50 U- BLACKTON, JACK There are two days which we should never worry about -Yesterday and Tomorrow. A sound philosophy, Jack thinks. He wants to lead a band. We suggest that he get in touch with Sammy Kaye for his preliminary training. Jack can be seen trippin' on someone else's toes in the girls' gym every sec- ond lunch period! VVhat a guy! BLANKENHORN, BETTY Betty is the type of girl in whom one can confide all one's secrets and troubles. She's a girl with a cheery voice, a warm smile, and a friendly attitude toward all. She has chosen 'nursing as her life's work and plans to go into training at the Pottsville Hospital. A white cap to you, Betty! BLANKENHORN, MARGUERITE Blushes come and blushes go, but freckles stay forever. Redheads usually do possess freckles, and why should Marguerite be an exception! You may think her a quiet girl, but when she is among her own friends-well, there's just no appeasing her. Marguerite will make a fine secretary, for she possesses both initiative and dependability. BOHLER, WILLIAM Bill believes that one should get the maximum amount of work out of the mtntmum amount of study x gemarkable lad he ts, indeed.

Membership in Uncle Samuel's Air Corps is his ultimate goal. BOLLINGER, JANE The joy of youth and health her eyes dis- played, and ease of heart her every look convey'd. What a splen- did specimen of wholesome girlhood is Jane! Shakespeare says of one man, He hath a daily beauty in his life. This can be applied equally as well to Jane. May good fortune ever attend her! BORRELL, JOSEPH Joe is a product of that neighboring metropolis, Marlin. Shopwork claims his general interest, wood- work is his particular joy. Ile takes delight in a good football gameg he plays a line game of baseball. His inseparable playmate is Ed Orlosky. VVhat a duo! At present 'fJoe would like to be a part of Uncle Sam's Navy. Ship ahoy there, 'fJoe ! I BOVVEISS, MARIAN Marian is a veritable black-eyed susan. She puisesses a certain neatness which we all admire. This raven- haired Xlass gets her real school-girl complexion from having walked brisklylzo The Hill each day from Mount Carbon. Having read Gone1VVith the VVind is her proudest accomplishment to date. Goodsluck to you, Bright Eyes! Xt BOW , MARY ELLEN UI love tranquil solitude and such societyk s is quiet, wise and good. It appears that Mary Ellenls outloo on life is contained in this statement. She plans to go into training at the St. Joseph's Hospital of Reading to become a white angel of mercy - a nurse. VVhat a worthy ambition! x ' Page T fwelve l SENIOR CLASS '41 ,,,j , V Y 1 . t Xi 1 'txt' Sxxhy 'X NP tl by - . f A ox 4 . .M , of 1 fl' SENIOR CLASS '41 www ' I THE PLAYERS BOYER, CHARLES Sonny Boy-er is representative of the typ- ical American high school boy. The T. K. D. members selected him as their Mr. Big this year. HSonny's a Dead Eyed Dick on the basketball court. He really can arch that inllated oval through the hoop! VVhat's more, he plans to follow through and become another Nat Holman- a top Hight basketball coach. BUYER, MARLAND HCoach Boyer, as he hopes to be called in his future years, has learned by experience how the basketball game is played. His wise cracks kept band and orchestra rehearsals from becoming too dull. Always ready with a smile to help out where assistance is necessary, Boyer No. 2 leaves us with his basketball under one arm, his tooter under the other, and his diploma in the bag. VVhere do we go from here? I .M BR ', A I' sure ca s an enemy o i e s e fdjlhe wav a f , Igor s oesr't upe r ave in the vorl e b ' ves t easur I e benelici an duties. ' she l ' s to d 1c igg 'e wish h r well in her c osen ' . tior at of es de' gning. 1 BRAZITIS, REGINA jean's good nature and keen sense of hu- mor are catchy. She is very fond of reading, particularly books dealing with aviation, for her ambition is a lofty one-to become an aviatrix. Since onward and upward seem to be the watchwords in this line of endeavor, may she attain the heights to which she aspires. BREEDON, ELIZABETH To this quiet but ambitious classmate we say, in her own words, Hello, Pal! Elizabeth aspires to become either a good typist or an athletic instructor. She is plan- ning to enter Virginia State College. The good sportsmanship which she exhibits will always serve her well. Our best wishes gn with you, Elizabeth. BRENNAN, MARY From our observation, we believe Mary's creed is this: I believe in God, for I have seen it snow, I believe in miracles, for I have seen a seed grow out of nothingness into a golden glow. ' New York City is her lodestoneg to be an airplane stew rdess is her desire. This little gal has what it takes! I I 1 I 1 ',,n n I u . ,gn BRINICII, ESTHER Gay slid ambitious is Esther. . ' ' . 7 by mannler docs not keep her fine qualities concealed. Esther s ' is Stamp and photograph collecting. To go VVest is her immediate desire. ller friendly manner will be helpful in her realm of endeavor-that of an air stewardess. May go fortune be hers always! . BRINICII, HELEN Helen's unique in that she enjoys watching a baseball game. tMost girls cannot Uappreciateu such a contest. Ahem!l Louisa M. Alcott is her favorite author, G. VV. T. W. is one of her favorite books. Helen plans to continue her secretarial training at the Ford School of Business. To tour the U. S. is her present principal desire. Page Thirteen 77 l V 4 THE PLAYERS BROWN, WILLIAM Here's a chap who'd like to command the interest of Chief Gsman Edgar Hoover and make his favorite expression, Hey, Slug! more practical, for he's interested in becoming a member of the F. B. I. In this capacity he'll surely make more than a trombone moan! Bill hopes to enter the U. of Pennsylvania, where he'll study law to prepare himself for G-man duties. BUBSER, ROBERT Bob is rather quiet and reserved. My tongue within my lips I rein, for who talks much must talk in vain appears to be his motto. He wasn't especially fond of study- ing, but then books aren't everything in life, are they, Boh ? However, we trust that he won't take things too easily. BUCKLEY, JAMES Holy Smokes! QThat's his pet expresa sion.l It's that rootin', tootin', hard-riding, broncho-busting Buck Buckley! Riding horses is his hobby, The Mysterious Rider is his favorite novel. From what we gather we surmise that this chap must like to ride!!! Soon he'll be sporting legs like marks of parentheses K J. At least, he has horse sense. BUEHLER, LORETTA Witty plus happy-go-lucky equals I.o- retta. Iler actions are determined by the mood she happens to be in. Sports Cc-specially swimmingj top the list so far as her out-of- school interests are concerned. As to just what she plans to do when she leaves P. H. S., nothing has been decided upon. VVhat- ever it may be, I.oretta, our best wishes go with you. BUSH, VVARREN Chemistry is this fellow's favorite subject. The reason? VVell, we suppose he looks upon it as did Francis Bacon, who said, Chemistrie is like unto a boile-there be muche matter in it. That's no lie! fBush's pet expressionj is it, VVar- ren? lIis spare time is spent in looking at irew cars, his principal desire is to earn lots 0' dough ! BUTTS, DOROTIIY Dot plans to become a telephone switch- board operator. That'll be right in her line, for we have-n't as yet met the individual who could out-talk Dot. A mischievous twinkle in her eye is ever-present. She is full of good-humored jollity and is never really troubled over a problem, though she would have us think she is. CAHALI., FLORENCE Earth has no beauty that compares with the grace of a happy heart, and a happy heart Flo certainly appears to have. To he a teacher or a dress designer-that is her pressing problem. VVe've a hunch she'll choose the latter, for she already designs her own clothes-and most attractive they are, too. Gully ! CALIIOUN, VVILLIAM VVell, here is ONE graduate who knows very definitely what he wants! A technical school in the U. S. Army Air Corps is Bill's goal, and if he works there as dili- gently as he has as Vice-President of the Senior Hi-Y, we're sure he will win his stripes early. VVhat an outstanding historical name he has to uphold! 2' 'x v 1 E, Q ll 'J Q ' X J' X.. . l f ' 5 W , .J is if ' Q 3 J 5 xv. , , ' 3 v s u y , K?

In preparation for becoming just that, sht-'s collecting pennies and looking forward to entering the Peirce School of Business in Philadelphia. VVhile here in P. II. S., she was a member of the newspaper staff and the Senior Girl Reserves. llawaii is the land she dreams of. CARVSO, SOPIIIE VVith such an illustrious name, one would expect Sophie to follow in the steps of her famous namesake, but such is not the case. She's going to be a beautician. Hiking fa heztuty aidj is her favorite form of exercise. When those tell-tale lines and wrinkles begin to appear, we'll be in to see what you can tlo about them, Sophie. CARTVVRIGHT, EVELYN This demure Miss wants to sing via radio. You ain't kiddin', Evelyn? VVe're sure that she isn't, for upon having graduated from P. H. S., she plans to further her musical education at the Braun School of Music. Her wit, friendly spirit, and willingness to work hard stamp her as being-you guessed it - a grand girll CIIATTIN, MARION Step up and have a chat with little Miss Chattin sometime. She's cheerful, witty, and intelligent. English and French are her favorite classroom subjects. Marion wolld like to enter Temple University to prepare herself for the teaching pro- fession. VVe wish you well, Marion. CIIIODO, MARY Hear ye! Hear ye! Our Mary aspires to be- corne a bona tide prima donna-an honest-to-goodness first-rate opera singer. Gee whiz! 'I'hat's fine, Mary. Right now her hnhhy is collecting movie star pictures. Our hope for her is that she may become a star of the opera in her own right in the not- ion-tlistant future. CHIPRIANO, JOSEPH HJoe is a fine chap-somewhat studi- ous, reserved, and of a cheerful nature. Aside from bookkeeping, his favorite subject, hels more than casually interested in baseball, both as a spectator and a participant. Hels a Zane Grey enthusi- ast. VVe trust that his desire to go to a business college may be realized. CIIOMAN, BASIL Too lazy to work, too friendly to get into trouble, Basil has Ftddled his way through our noble institution. Always ready with a wise-crack or a helping hand, we hope he continues to have smooth sailing over the sea of Life. But watch out for the waves, Big Boy. They're hound to hit you some day! CIEMACHOXVSKY, JEAN One of our more quiet classmates is Jean. ller No. 1 school suhject is Home Economics. lGentlemen, please notelj She enjoys experimenting with foodsg indeed, such culinary excursions are her specialty. Jean is bent on hecoming a dietician. VVhen she takes her trip around the world shelll be able to pick up many valuable tips on her chosen vocation, Page Fifteen i EICOOGAN, VIRGINIA Jolly, jovial, and jocund is Ginny. Her pleasing personality and her cheerful disposition have made her many lasting friends in P. II. S. She is fond of spnrts, but enjoys dancing a little more. She attends Pottsville High just for the fun, studies are a minor interest. VVe wish her all the luck in the world. COOPER, JAMES VVith our c0untry's defense program forging ahead rapidly, jim has wisely decided to take advantage of the situation and become an airplane mechanic. Never in a hurry fexcept at lunch timej, his carefree attitude and ready smile have helped to make these four years a pleasure to remember. COOPER, YARNELL K'He floats through the air with the greatest of ease. These words can be said of Yarnell. Ile is fond of all sports. llis ambition is to enter Temple or join the Navy. VI'e needn't be afraid of Yarnell's having a girl in every port, for femmes are of minor importance to him. CRESSMAN, MARJORIE HVVhile I live I shall be merry. What words could better describe A'Marge's attitude toward life? She doesn't believe in spending too much of her time in studying. She would rather engage in doing something she enjoys, such as swimming or skating. Her fascinating blue eyes and friendly disa position account for her manyyfriends. ,I Q r K4 HQ:- ',, f,,t, sf f L'44l' 1-.e..ar.. 44'---Aff . af' ' fu ' CROLI.

Evidently, this is Dorothy's opinion, for she is very fond of reading. Her ambition is to become a librarian. Dot is a delightful com- paniong she can always provide some humor to make life more enjoyable. Iler super-abundance of common sense is one of her distinguishing features. DAVIS, ANNA l'Ann is one of the small, quiet melnbers of the '41 contingent. Her ambition is to become a nurse. The white cap will offer a striking contrast to her dark, curly hair. It would be a pleasure to be sick if one knew a gentle nurse such as Ann would be near. Ah! l l DAVIS, CARI. It has been a pleasure to know Davis No. 3. Friendship and loyalty go hand in hand with Carl. Ilis likeable nature has won many friends for this lanky, red-topped lad. Ile will probably spend most of the coming summer on the tennis courts behind the school, then put his racquet aside to don an army uniform. Page Szxieen I ,. 'f s ' ' 'Q : A THE PLAYERS v I , 1 ..' Q 1 Y, I I as 5 I 'i tx fx DAVIS, ETHEL With jovial nature shown by gleaming smile, she meets each day and stops to laugh awhile. Therefore, in addi- tion to being an excellent typist, Ethel's charming smile and mellow disposition have stamped her as having been a real asset to her class and her school. Her even temper and co-operative spirit made work on this edition of II!-S-POTTS a most pleasant task. DAVIS, JACK Iniative is a quality which Jack has demonstrated well - not in school, perhaps, but certainly after classroom hours. His friends know he spends much time in serious endeavors. Al- ways silent and unassuming, Jack reminds us of the little man who wasn't there. His pleasant manner, though, is something we all will remember. DELPH, VIRGINIA That attractive brunette doing the latest steps on the dance floor is, more than likely, Virginia. Although she may not know much about Shakespeare, she knows how to cul- tivate friendships! Her ambition is to become a beautician. Isn't it natural that Virginia would be a favorite among the stronger ssex? DEMPSEY, MARIE Quietness and confidence constitute her strength. Marie has always given us this impression. She is fond of reading. The key to her ambition is, strangely enough, keys, whether they be those of the typewriter or the piano. Marie's alertness plus her efliciency will make for a richness and fulness of harmony in her every endeavor. ls F Y 1 fu -a DENAPOLI, GEORGE George wants to be a fashion designer in an exclusive shop in Hawaii. Could it be that he'll change the style of the grass skirt or perhaps inaugurate a new form of greeting other than the lei? In addition to his interest in designing, George has lite.rary inclinations-especially in the realm of poetry. Word designing, eh? DENGLER, CLARENCE Backward, turn backward, O Time, in your flight, and tell me just ONE thing I studied?? last night! appears to be this chap's theme song. Bubbling with enthusiasm for everything except classroom work, our blond-haired jokester has made many acquaintances. Electrical engineering SEEMS to be his future goal, but right now, well-why should you care? lle doesn't! DERAMO, MARY All virtues and no vices make Mary a very lovable girl. Always quiet and fond of studying, she plans to enter the teaching profession. Most of us would enjoy going to school all over again if we'd have this cheerful personality to guide us through the day. Our hats are off to you, Mary! DEVVALD, DORIS The better you know her, the better you like her. As President of the Girl Reserves, Doris certainly has shown plenty of reserve - what it takes! A graceful skater and dancer, she has exhibited an equal amount of zest in her studies. It isn't o ' gentlemen who prefer blondes, for Doris is equally as popular amo the g' of '41, .itggs is Dwi , X xi' x I ' N, , x Q. ' simon ctass '4li'g'ii XR N' .. , K ,, i-AX' iw -1. I is 5 V' .

VVe're cer- tain that her daily hike from South Centre Street is the key to her peaches-and-cream complexion. June plans to become a teacher of commercial subjects. Then June will reign in the classroom month in and month out! DINICH, PAULINE Report to my oliice in the morning to begin work. These words from a prospective employer will be music to Pauline's ears, for her ambition is to hecome a secretary. Paul- ine's neat, conservative appearance will be an asset to any office. One of her most admirable qualities is her ability to be herself at all times. DIXON, MIRIAM Miriam is walking proof of the statement that Bashfulness is an ornament of youth. Her quietness and reserve were her principal characteristics. She let her smile bespeak her mind-and a smile can convey plenty! Miriam plans to enter the nursing profession - a vocation in which a smile will prove more rejuvenating than any medicinal concoction. DOLAN, JOSEPH To the casual observer, Joe'! appears to be a likeable lad, with a keen wit, a fast-working brain, who has been outstanding in Student Council and T. K. D. affairs. But there is a deeper side to Joe. It may be hard to reach, but when you get there, you know you have found a friend more earnest and sincere than any you may ever hope to meet. DOVE, JACK VVC seldom think of the P. fl. S. Band without envisioning that high-stepping, baton-twirling drum major. One of those Hbehind-the-scenes boys, Jack was forever running errands and carrying packages for one of the teachers. In addition to his numerous activities, he found time to establish a nne schol- astic record. Nice going, Jack ! DOVVNEY, BETTY A vivacious blonde with a merry giggle and a pleasing personality is Betty. Like Madame Defarge, her favo- rite extra-curricular activity is knitting, and she is by no means an amateur at it! Betty hasn't decided what she would like to do after leaving school. However, we all have a good idea!! May she knit golden years into a life of happiness! DRAGNA, LUCETTA The peppy, dark-haired girl playing a gargantuan fiddle in the orchestra is none other than Lucy, Although Lucy did manage to get her classroom work finished, she looked upon such details as of minor importance. Her being a smooth dancer and a lover of music will surely help to make this girl's life as merry as it is long. DRAKE, FRANCIS It's Sir Francis Drake, sir! This gentle- manly chap hails from Mechanicsville, and a worthy addition to our group he has been. His a cappella choir membership is ade- quate testimony of his singing ability. He's no sluggard in the classroom, either. To do well in his every worthwhile effort is his desire - a truly noble one, indeed!

What could be more important in the vocation she has chosen! FOSTER, HARRY A bookkeeper he will be, says he. Small but mighty may be a fitting expression for this young man, for, although he is one of the smallest members of our group, he is by no means the least often heard from. Harry is a great football fan. To travel out West is his present burning desire. FOTI, CAMILLE Where there's a will, there's a way might be said of Camille, for she lets nothing stand in the way of finish- ing what she starts. She has been a hard worker for and a spirited booster of all P. H. S. activities. For three years her singing abil- ities have made her an invaluable member of the a cappella choir.

Not a little of her time is spent in reading, and she is ve.ry seldom unprepared. With such a background we feel sure that we'll be hearing good things about Helen in the not-too-distant future. FRANKENSTEIN, VINCENT The bookkeeping teachers will miss Vincent when he leaves, for he has been a most interested student. He really takes his work seriously and would like to put his knowledge into practice as a clerk. If he continues to work as hard as he did in school, we know he'll be a worthy employee in any business. FRANTZ, FLOYD lf you have a question, just ask Floyd. He never seems to be at a loss for an answer. Most of his leisure time is spent in model building and photography. He would like to attend Thompson's Business School. To become acquainted with the work of a commercial pilot is his current desire. FREED, RUSSEL Photography seems to have captured this young man's fancy. He hopes to gain entrance into the U. S. Army's photographic department. Russel has made many friends in school because of his rare sense of humor. But if any of you are camera shy, the safest thing to do is to keep out of his way. FREEMAN, NETTA Netta is easy-going and carefree. Her arn- bition in life is simply, as she says, to be successful. At what? VVelI, she isnlt specific in that. From this we venture an opinion that her philosophy must be, Study as if you were to live forever, live as if you were to die tomorrow. FRIE, FRANK Frank is a boy who takes delight in roaming through the forest, studying the care of IFCCS. He wants to know afl there is tofknow about them and then become a National For- ester.

Kind-hearted, witty, and every inch a musician, Donald has, without a doubt, won the admiration of his fellow students. He plans to continue his studies at the julliard School of Music. We're proud of this future Fritz Kreisler. GAINER, RUTH This dark-haired young lady is everyone's friend. Her quiet demeanor is very becoming. It's said that actions speak louder than words.

GALLIANO, MARGUERITE Marguerite is the other half of the Galliano sister team. Her desire is to become a stenographer. Try, try'again! is her watchword.

Page Tfwenty-tfwo SENIOR CLASS '4ll SENIOR CLASS '41 THE PLAYERS GREENVVALD, RAYMOND Ray strikes us as being a pretty wise fellow. VVe believe that he feels as did Francis Bacon a few hundred years ago when he wrote, Crafty men condemn studies, simple men admire them, and the wise men use them. A trip to Hawaii is his immediate objective. Adventuresome, eh? GRIES, JOSEPH YVhere there's music there cannot be mischief. Or can there? For one so interested in the violin, you'd hardly expect his life's work to he devoted to mechanics. However, that's the way joe sizes up the situation. He plans to enter Lehigh University, where much will be required of him, but let us not forget that there's a lot to him. GUNDERSON, ROBERT This Gunderson chap is Clark Taylor, Rohert Power, and Tyrone Gable all wrapped into one! What a handsome brute he is! VVe say this in all sincerity.

IIARRUN, CLARENCE Dee, as he is commonly called by his friends, is blond and lightvcomplexioned. lAh, me!! Full of wise cracks and plenty of jokes, Clarence provides an element of fun wherever he goes. This is not his only outstanding feature, for he is also a diligent and industrious worker. His ambition is to enter trade school to become a mechanic. HARVEY, ,IEANNE Jeanne has established for herself a definite place among us as a sincere and loyal friend. She has ably partic- ipated in many extra-curricular activities. And how she can make that hull fiddle talk ! She is the fortunate possessor of a keen mind and a pleasing personality. Jeanne expects to further her education in Lincoln School for Nurses, VVe wish her well. HEFFNER, IWILDRED Mil is the reason why many a male heart skipped a few beats during her P. H.

How she'll miss that ride to school with Mr. Scott every morning! Page Twenty-three THE PLAYERS HEISLER, ROBERT In his two years among us Robert has found it relatively easy to make friends. Of a rather quiet disposition, he nevertheless, has made his presence felt. His activities were confined to required subjects only. Bob is interested in shop work. His prsent plans call for enlistment in Uncle Whiskers' Army. Yeh, Ar-m-m-yl IIENKEL, URSULA The name Ursula means saint. Now this clasmate of ours isn't exactly a saint fno living person ish, but she's a mighty fine girl. Ursula hopes to become a German and English correspondent, which, we think, is a lofty and worthy desire. Ursula will enter a business school this coming fall. We wish her well. HICKS, GRACE Beauty is truly beautiful when its comrade is Z1 modest mind. Grace is the fortunate possessor of both beauty and a modest mind.

HIGGINS, GERMAINE This petite French friend of ours truly is of the opinion that there is no duty we so much underrate as the duty of being happy. She's cheerfulness personihed.

HOFFMAN, ALTHEA She is so seldom heard, so seldom seen that itls almost too difficult to find a fitting comment for Althea. Speak very little or very pleasantly appears to be the philosophy of this girl with the Greek legendary name. Behind her rather serious expression there are flashing dark eyes and a warm smile. HOFFMAN, JOHN John is not one of those shy persons who is too timid to make himself known and heard. His carefree attitude toward school work is somewhat deceiving, for he and studies really are on speaking terms. He puts forth a maximum effort both at work and at play. john plans to attend Ryan's Aeronautics School or enroll in the United States Air Corps.

Smash your baggage, Latlvl HOMA, JOHN There's a certain je ne .mix quai about young Mr. Homa which most favorably impresses the casual observer.

LENNOX, FREDERICK His friends on the cross-country team know he cannot be surpassed, either on or off the track. Those of us who know him better when wearing long trousers found his optomistic and carefree attitude a real asset during our stay in P. H. S.

MARX, MARGARET Marks don't appear to mean much to Miss Marx. She doesn't talk much, either, but we feel that she possesses certain abilities which, so far, she hasn't chosen to exhibit.

NOLAN, ALBERTA Alberta is one girl who believes lcontrary to tnodern female thoughtsj that young ladies should be seen and not heard. She is training herself to be a model housekeeper in that she took,the Home Economics Course. Little wonder, then, why her chief hobby is sewing and making her own clothes.

OST, CATHERINE Strangers would think Catherine a very quiet girl, but we know that, among her friends, she's quite the life of the group. Catherine is interested in all sports in gen- eral, volley-ball in particular. She hasn't asyet chosen a vocation. Perhaps she wants to travel throughout this wide land of ours- that's her immediate concern -before turning to the more serious aspect of gaining a livelihood. OVVEN, LORRAINE , VVe picture Larry in small white cap and crisp, white dress, silently and efhciently going about her duties as a nurse. She plans to do her training at the jefferson Hospital, and we believe this young lady well qualified to render invaluable service in this worthy profession. A student of nn mean ability, Lorraine belonged to the Tri-Hi-Y. OVVEN, RICHARD Dick is a chap with,a song in his heart and his dreams in the sky. His interest in aviation accounts for thc latter, and, in order to further his knowledge in this vocation, he plans to enter aschool of aeronautics.

PERRY, MARION Who was the puet who said, Frankness is truthfulness ? Marion ,probably knows, for she follows his teach- ings. At any rate, here is one case where words speak louder than actions. She served faithfully as a bank cashier and belonged to the Senior Tri-Hi-Y. Number, please, Thank you! This line may be Marion's favorite in a few years, for she aspires to be a telephone operator. PETRIE, EARL Easy-going, good natured, the possessor of a very deep voice-such is Earl. He seems to have time for things more important Cto himj than studies. Hunting is his favorite sport.

SANDHERR, GALEN This quiet, unassuming lad takes his time and moves slowly with everything but football and females, Never in a hurry, never concerned about studies or other phases of school life, easy-going and pleasant-natured, we often wonder what Galen is thinking about.

SCllEIBELHI'T, JOHN From the stories we've heard about traveling salesmen, Jack, in that capacity, will doubtless have some interesting experiences! Always clean-cut and neat, he should have little trouble wearing down the sales-resistance of prospective customers. Even high-pressure salesmen take vacations, so Jack will more than likely turn his into hunting or fishing trips. SCHOENFELDER, RUTH A loyal and capable girl, Ruth carries a lot of common sense on her shoulders. Patience and presence of mind are virtues quite necessary to a telephone operator or a beau- tician. As Ruth hopes to succeed in one of these fields, surely these qualities will prove of great value. Good luck to you, Ruth!

SMITH, MILDRED There is only one rule for being a good talker: learn how to listen. So wrote Christopher Morley, and, judged by this standard, Mildred is an excellent talker, for she certainly knows how to listen.

SMITH, VVILFRED IIere's a boy who w0n't get his wires crossed, for it's his ambition to be an electrician in a large power plant. Of a constructive nature, as evidenced by his achievements in the electric shop, VVilfred rounds himself olf nicely with an active interest in ice-skating and football. We're looking for 'fVVil to make the sparks fly. You will, won't you, VVil ? SMITH, VVILLIAM f'Snuffy belies his comic-strip nick-name- sake, for he is far from being talkative or bodacious. Quiet and reserved, he is, nevertheless, a red-blooded Uregllar feller, having played a fine game of both basketball and football. Indus- trious, with a mind for facts and Hgures, we shall watch with interest his career in aeronautics, his chosen field. SNYDER, DONALD Don presents a riddle for which we are yet vainly seeking the answer. He is quiet and moody, which comes under the heading of 'artistic temperament, for Art is the subject in which he excels. And if we peep under his well-worn mask of indifference, we rind an individual of ideals and aspira- tions. VVhat's the clue, 'fDon ? SNYDER, EARLIN Uncle Sam is going to welcome Earlin, for it is his ambition to learn to fly and to become an airplane me- chanic. And we are of the opinion that he'll make a darn good one, if we can judge by those models he's been Hying around. The popular song, f'Playmates, must have been inspired by Earlin and Tom Toth! ,- ,, . ft fl W U Ja X wfcff . , SENIOR CLASS '4l Page Foriy-om' THE PLAYERS SNYDER, MARIE It is Marie's desire to become an efficient sec- retary. She knows that the deepest rivers flow with the least sound and that one does not need to make a great deal of noise to make an impression. Her favorite subject is shorthand. She intends to enter the Ford School of Business. SOURBER, ELIZABETH Elizabeth is a brunette who possesses both a pleasing voice and personality. ln her lighter moments she turns to dancing and skating. Her favorite subject is shorthand. Elizabeth has two ambitions: to travel around the world and to attend the Ford Business School in order to become a secretary. VVe trust that both may be realized by her. tl TANCA E, M R RET It appears at the following is Margie's ilosophy y work is m ' atest pleasure, it is, i tru , ai et r ll . e.

The mite-y Milton bellowing at the track team members Che's their managerj is a far cry from the dreamy Steidle-and-his- fiddle of the orchestra. His pet subjects are Latin and History, with the exception of Music, of course, for Milt aspires to become baton wielder. STEPHENS, GEORGE George is one of the best liked chaps in the class. VVhat a figure he presents as he leads the band with Old gbry waving proudly 0'er his head! lle has achieved the distinc- tion of being one of the most brilliant students in the Industrial diiirse and displays remarkable ability where anything mechanical is concerned. t STEPIIENSON, GEORGE Small but dynamic is 'fChick. He has won a name for himself in the minds of all the P. H. S. foot- ball fans for his heads-up performances, for he played hard, fast, and furiously. If his brand of football-playing is any criterion of his determination, we know he'll not let anything slow him up in the game of life. STOCK, MILDRED This tall brunette of quiet nature and mod- est charm, although not in any club, is inclined to be obliging and cooperative. She is willing to lend her aid to all worthy enter- prises brought to her attention. Mildred is a commercial student. Her favorite sport is volley ball, To visit Mexico seems to be her pet desire. Page Forty-tfwo SENIOR CLASS '4l SENIOR CLASS '41 THE PLAYERS STOLTZ, HERBERT If ever a little blond lad clambers over your back fence, don't empty the dishwater on him without taking a second look, for it may be Herbie in quest of one of his model aircraft. lIe's a spic and span chap and exhibits a quiet good humor. To be an aviator or a bookkeeper-that's Herb's pressing problem. STONER, JANE It must be Jane's feeling that Music exalts each joy, allays each grief, expels diseases, and softens every pain. She has demonstrated her leadership ability by steering the Phi Gamma Lambda through another successful year. Class, organi- zation, homeroom, and accompanist-in-assembly duties put aside, she now expects to devote her time to the study of music. No discords, Jane! STRANGE, LILY lt takes a super-abundance of fortitude and ambition to win a diploma in three years. Yet, with a load so great, Lily still found time for active membership in the Phi Gamma Lambda and the Dramatic Club. VVe trust that Lily, with a love for dramatics and an eye for art, may continue to excel in her every endeavor. STRANGE, VVALTER If you hear him telling how he shot someone, don't worry! He's rambling on about photography again. One of our better student photographers, Walter, whose dry sense of humor produces many a chuckle, has two main interests. One is accumulating a million dollars, the other lies in the telephone book. That's Strange!! SUGRENSKY, BERNARD If a quiet little fellow in a postman's uniform ever drops a letter in your box, it may be Bernard. Studies can wait, says he as he puts his fishing pole over his shoulder and heads for the creek. We hope his efforts in life are as fruitful as those he enjoyed as a disciple of Izaak Walton. TASSONE, JOSEPH Another of our musically minded classmates, UJitter-Bug Joe certainly wore out shoe leather in the gym. He didn't say much in any class, but when it came time for a cappella choir practice, he was right on deck. He would like to further his interest in music by becoming a teacher of the stuff. Cheery chirping, Chubby ! TAYLOR, JOHN Basketball and music are of primary impor- tance to Jock. Making his debut in the Christmas Concert last December, Johnnie showed what it takes to keep Fightinh The possessor of two dancing feet, he would like to study physical edu- cation at Virginia State College. Maybe some day there'll be a Taylor's Gym. 0. K., Taylor! TEEPLE, CARLYLE Have you ever seen his bedroom? One would wonder where he sleeps! Yes, Jeff is a collector. Of what? VVell, almost everything imaginable. Definitely on the literary side, 'KTeep is a great favorite in the Dramatic, Library, and Current Events Clubs. VVe've heard that he's almost as fond of his pipe as was VVhittier's uncle! Page Forty-three T XX YQ, . THE PLAYERS! ,vV,,' TEMPLIN, ANNA Anna, whose quiet but pleasing disposition has won for her many friends, devotes her extra moments to the cultural things of life-music and reading. When school is in session she still seeks culture, for English is her favorite subject. An industrious somebody, she plans to einer the Geissinger Mem- orial Hospital to study nursing. TEMPLIN, RUTII Short and sweet! Not too short but really very sweet! Ah!! Fun loving tif the joke is on youj and intel- ligent fNational Honor Society, no lt-ssl, Ruth is a fresh-air Fiend. VVhether it be hiking, ice-skating, or bicycle riding, she can be ready before you say, Oh, Heavens! -if you say it slowly enough! Vl'e salute you, COIIIt'ly Miss Templin! THOMAS, HERMAN Not many people have talents as varied as H. OIiver's. A rich sense of humor, a line baritone voice, and an artist of no little ability tall rolled up into a cappella choir gown No. 305 is what the Associated Choirs call their vice-presi- dent. The Annual Staff, Student Council, Current Events and Sketch Clubs all received his service and attention. VVe know he will be a welcome addition to Pennsylvania Military College. THOMPSON, ROBERT Those of you who watched the cross- country team have surely seen Bob run. And, believe it or not, hels as quick on shop math as he is on the track. An indispens- able memher of the stage crew, he has taken his Industrial studies seriously. VVe may also add that he is intensely interested in skat- ing, and HSuperman simply spellbinds him!! THORNBURG, MARGARET An all-around athlete is she! How can you tell? My dear Dr. VVatson, have you not noticed the S. A. B. emblem on her sweater? Have you never seen her perform in a swimming pool? Have you never seen her cheering excitedly at a sports contest? VVe hope, however, that she'll slow down a bit and let us in on what's comin' up after she receives her diploma. TOTH, THOMAS Come-day, go-day, easy-going '!Tom, with his ever-ready smile and pleasant voice, neither worries nor intends to worry about the war, the weather, or anything else. Heart trouble and nervous break-downs will never alliict him, for his ambition is Cso he saysl to he a satisfied working citizen of the United States. The lad may be a philosopher some day. VVhose nose?? OVVLE, MARY JANE Another of our up-and-coming clerical students, jane has shown her interest in world affairs by becoming, a member Qand later the treasurerj of the Current Events Club. VVhen she's not pushing a pencil or pounding a typewriter, you will probably find her in the gym, slapping a basketball around. Because of qualities both physical and mental, a gym teacher's position is what she aspires to- and should have. TRANQUILLO, JULIA julia's small in stature but big in heart. Always smiling and always willing to help, she has gained many friends in P. II. S. Iler two chief forms of recreation are dancing in the girls' gym each lunch period and roller skating at Willow Lake whenever the opportunity presents itself. In all emergencies, always remain tranquil, Miss Tranquillo! N simon ctass '41 Page Forty-four .f f X 9 Laveas ef' Www JSM SENIOR CLASS '41 l aren't th l all contented like me? This, it appears, is Fritz's feeling toward things in general. Studies did not play an impor- tant part in his daily schedule. However, he's a likeable chap, especially among the female contingent of our class. VVho'll ever forget his performance in On Our Way ! ROUT VAN, FRED Happy am Ig from care l'm free. Why TRUMAN, DARIEL Dariel agrees with Francis Bacon in that 'iStudy is not an end in itself but a means to an end. The end for which this young lady is preparing herself is that of an ehi- cient stenographer. She has creditahly taken care of the study end of this quotation, too. To thine own self be true, Miss Truman! TUCCI, CELESTIA It is well to be able to be a good speaker, but it is a more difficult and commendable art to be capable of being a good listener. Celestia IS a good listener. And a second Eleanor lIolm she is, too, for swimming is her principal joy. On the diving board she's perfectly at home. TUCKERMAN, LYLA Lyla is both capable and efficient. She thinks life was made for more serious things than dancing or laughing. A student? Well, she can give anyone lots of competi- tion in this field. To gain a governmental position is her objectiveg to see America is a MUST for some time in the future. UMBENIIAURER, ELVVOOD Elwood believes that Nothing is impossible to a willing mind. Hels going to be a chemical engi- neer, so this otherwise carefree chap became a serious student in the laboratory and diligently searched for the desired reactions and results. Baseball is his principal off-the-record interest. VENTRESCA, ANTHONY High-spirited? Well, I guess! Have you ever seen a thoroughbred that wasn't? The stronger the oppo- sition, the more fight, for co-captain Tony enjoys a hard game. VVhen the opponents cry, IIold that line! it is just the stimulus for f'Tony to crack it for a gain. May he ever continue to run the ends and hit Life's line hardl XVAILACE, PEGGY To Peggy, Nothing is more useful than silence. Her quietness, however, does not detract from her per- sonality. Peggy, while in school, believed in taking life easy. She hopes to become a nurse, which means that a life of ease cannot be indulged in in this profession. VVALLAUER, RAYMOND Ray always has a cheerful greeting for everyone. But then, customers always expect that from a busi- ness man. Yes, he wants to become associated with some large business firm. He was an active booster of all sports but had only a nodding acquaintance with his class work. Horseback riding is his idea of worthy use of time.

X, K l I. k 4 VVALTERS, RUTH Ruth is unassuming, dependable, and hard- working. And a fine student she is, to boot. She was an ardent follower of the Crimson VVave and possesses a sweet, melodious voice, which blended beautifully with the others of the Choral Club. Her wavy witticisms were most enjoyable, indeed. And just think. Soon we'll be Ruth-less! VVALTON, DOROTHY Dorothy is well known for her giggles, jokes, and jovial moods. She was a soprano in the a cappella choir. Some day twho knows?l we may be turning her in on our radios. Dorothy was always seen sitting in the football stands until the last whistle was sounded. We wish her well in her chosen endeavor. WATSON, ROBERT A'Bob sings it, talks it, yes, and maybe he even dreams it. The it is music. But his abilities are not con- fined to music alone. For what would the Chemistry Club do without Bob at its helm? Musicians are not usually good ath- letes but this dnesn't hold true of him. Ask Mr. Wilbur.

A hea laugh, a joke, and plenty of pep are Dot's principal stock in trade. VVEIS, DOROTHY If the cupboard is bare, it will never be Dorothy's responsibility, for a cooking instructor she's going to be. Problems of Democracy, she said, is one of her favorite school subjects, Problems of Cooking must hold a place of equal impor- tance with her. To Dorothy we direct her own pet expression, 'tKeep up the good spirit! VVEISS, MARGARET This blonde livewire's pet dislike was homework. How she loathed it! She takes delight in light, airy, fiudy things. lt takes all sorts of people to make up this world, doesn't it, Margaret? Cie me a pair of dancing shoes, then bye, bye blues! is her theme song. To make so-called permanent waves more permanent is her goal. VVHITAKER, KATHLEEN Kathleen Cwhat a quaint namely possesses many of the qualities of a precious stone- a sparkle and a beauty which have drawn to her a host of admirers. An uncanny and magnetic attraction has laid low male hearts in many other schools besides P. H. S. l'll take you home again, Kathleen - well, here our song ends. , ,, g , . KQV . x X ' S , , - 1 M f K, ' 3 xg? X tl THE PLAYERS VVINTERSTEEN, WILLIAM Big Bill has always run paral- lel with our conception of the word Viking. A sportsman in every sense, he has given his all to P. H. S. athletics. But more than that, the Student Council, Tau Kappa Delta, and Chemistry Club have received his faithful services. VVe hope he handles his chem- ical engineering problems as deftly as he has handled those of basketball. VVISNOSKY, STELLA Stella's secret potion of happiness is life- simple, unadorned life. To her, every moment is an event, every day an occasion. She puts herself whole-heartedly into every sec- ond. No day is hum-drum to her. Each new dawn brings a whole day full of new happenings. This zest seems to be the motivating factor in Stella's life. VVITMER, ESTHER Esther is a tall, blue-eyed hlonde who is thought highly of by all who associate with her. Her ambition is to become a secretary, her hobby is hiking. Mr. Bernarr Mac- fadden undoubtedly would find in her an enthusiastic disciple. Although she enjoys sports of all kinds, basketball is her favorite. WOLFE, VINCENT VVe introduce to you, reader, the eternal triangle -'fVince, action comics, and Yehudi!

The figure leaves the board, then cuts the water like a knife. A head bobs to the surface. Yep, it's Johnny. He has just executed another perfect dive.

Coherent and always to-the-point, we always enjoy reading those sport columns written by him. Then again, maybe he will cash in on those stamps hels saving and retire early! YOB, MARION Marion is a popular and peppy individual. Being a member of the Senior Athletic Boosters, she is, naturally, an ardent sports fan. A favorite book of hers is The Scarlet Letter. How she does yell at a football game! Ilere's hoping you get a good Uyob when you leave school, Miss Yob! YOST, DOROTHY Here is a girl who believes, If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Her ambition in life is to become a piano teacher. She heartily enjoys reading. She also has a mischievous cell in her brain and is always ready for fun. May she ever continue to bestow happiness to others by her gaiety and pleasantness. YOST, LEONA Sweet and quiet is Leona, who has many out- standing qualities-courteousness, neatness, and a kind word for all. A student of the General Clerical Course, she would like to be an oflice worker. She has been an active member of the Girls' Choral Club and the Girls' Tri-Hi-Y. Dancing and swimming are her favorite off-the-record activities. YOUNG, IRMA Irma is easy-going, quietly efiicient, and appears to be getting a lot of fun out of life. Although she hasn't been interested in many extra-curricular school activities, she does enjoy dancing and swimming. Among her many ambitions are her desires to work in an office and to visit California. ZAMMER, NORMA Norma believes that the unpardonable sin is not to care, for she has nothing at all to do with indifference. She's a dandy student and hopes to become an expert accountant or book- keeper. May she experience as much pleasure in this work as she seems to have gained from her varied activities during her stay in P. H. S. ZELINSKY, HELEN With Miss Zelinsky we conclude the varied comments concerning the featured players in our HI- S - POTTS drama. Helen is short in stature but abounds with activity. In fact, she's really awe-inspiring on the roller rink. In keeping with her always-rarin'-to-go spirit, her heart is set on travelling-anya where at any time!

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 underclassmen by awarding a certificate of scholarship at the end of each semester to the boy and the girl of the Freshman and Sophomore classes having the highest semester average. Membership in this group is based on scholarship, service, leadership, and character. Candidates must have a scholastic rank in the first third of their respective classes and must have spent at least one year in the secondary school which selects such persons. Any member whose name fails to appear on the Honor Roll twice, not necessarily successively, is automatically eliminated from the Society. The members of the local chapter are Mildred Miller, Elsie Mullin, Alma Kehler, Ruth Smith, Lyla Tuckerman, Ruth Templin, Mary Alice Mooney, Jane Stoner, Stanley Bergstein, William Nlachonis, Joseph Krederavage, Milton Liner, lklarian Prosser, and Evelyn Klitsch.

HAVILAND Director The Associated Choirs are composed of the A Cappella Choir of 90 members, the Choral Ensemble of 90, the Verse Choir of 25, the Girls' Choral Club of 50, the Sophomore Choir of 65, and the Freshman Choir of 110. The choirs are ably directed by Earl W. Haviland, who organized them in 1928 and has been their teacher-conductor since that time. A nation-wide reputation in the field of school choral music has been established by many contest victories, participa- tion in national choral festivals, radio broadcasts, and out-of-town concerts. Among cities visited have been Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, Detroit, Cleveland, Pitts- burgh, Harrisburg, Ithaca, Sunbury, Johnstown, Oil City, and Altoona. Exchange and joint concerts with college choirs and glee clubs have served to keep student interest and desire for further achievement at a high level. Vigorous student leadership has been a large factor in the steady progress made by the choirs. It can be said of the choirs of 1941 that they have maintained and advanced the high cultural standards established in former years. Pride of achievement in a concert repertoire of high musical quality and Wide appeal to singers and audiences have even served to inspire the members of the choral units to present their very best- a most natural and gratifying result of the policy and method pursued.

It was the largest production of its kind ever given in Pottsville and was an unquestionable success, with the choirs playing a large part in the outcome. As in previous years, the Choral Ensemble presented a concert of Christmas Carols by amplification at Doutrich's store, followed by many serenades throughout the city.

The Crimson Singers fthe Alumni Choirj contributed much to the success of the X, concerts by their artistic a cappella singing. The vitality of the choral program in our high school is demonstrated by its extension into the adult life of those students whose character and ability were responsible for the outstanding achievements of their respective organizations during their high school years. s The musical effectiveness of the Senior 'Choirs is considerably enhanced by the appeal of Well-disciplined, thoroughly organized personnel, beautifully robed in white satin and maroon vestments.

Tw J 'ff il 1 1 Truly fine bands in every respect have become traditional for Pottsville High School under the artistic and inspiring leadership of llalr. I.eo F. lllinnichbach, who was appointed Director of Instrumental lllusic on December 1, 1934. During these inter- vening 'years he has brought our band up to such heights that it now rightfully takes its place among the best high school bands. This year the band made its initial appearance a few days after school opened at a football game between the St. Clair and the Pottsville High Schools. A very credit- ble showing was made. People marvelled that such fine drills could be performed so early in the season. Throughout the season many colorful and spirited drills were executed. These ranked our band with the best college bands. Outstanding among these drills were the formation of a huge red cross for the National Red Cross drive and the formation of the letters U. S. A. with flags, during which the band played the Red Crossl' march and God Bless America. These drills, which were performed at Reading during a game be- tween Reading and Pottsville, brought front page articles of praise from the newspapers. The patriotic spirit of the band was evidenced by its appear- 'g L, Q , , ance at every such function where a band was needed. The iff 'i.. band played for every contingent of draftees that left Potts- ' a ,,.- . 'Lf 'Ili , tiff ,J , M, L :Ml -5' 1 ville, regardless of how small the number, and it also played f ' for many other community functions. Thus, our band renders , , invaluable service to the community. . ' V , Un l'ebrua1'y 19 a splendid instrumental concert was given in the high school 2lL1Kl1IOI'1UI11. 'lhe band played the last half are X W e we MR. Leo MINNICIIISACII Director Page Niizvfy-I-'wo W I 1 4, an fl wanna of the program. Dr. Peter Buys, internation- ally known bandmaster and composer, was the guest conductor. Dr. Buys told the large audi- ence that Pottsville could be justly proud of its high school band. He spoke highly of the spirit of the boys and girls and of the artistic finish with which they played. He also said that it is the first school band he has ever con- ducted in which the reed instruments played in accurate pitch. Compositions by Dr. Buys and many of the old masters were played. Thus, another great concert was added to P. H. S. Band history. Another honor was conferred upon the band this year when they received a special invita- tion to participate in the Pennsylvania School Klusic Association Eastern Pennsylvania All- District Band held at Mt. Penn, Reading, Pennsylvania, March 21 and 22. Our director was honored by being asked to conduct several numbers on the program. High commendation ALYCE KENNEDY MIRIAM STARR was given the boys and hir. Minnichbach for Drum Majorettes their fine work. The excellent performance of the band last year at Susquehanna University during the All-Master Band Festival, at which Dr. Frank Simons was guest conductor, was responsible for an exchange of assembly programs this year between our band and the Shamokin High School Band. Mr. Anderson, director of the Shamokin Band, was present at this event and said he would like very much to exchange programs next year. As a result, a spirited and most enjoyable concert was given in our assembly. It was much appreciated by our student body and many townspeople who were on hand to greet them. Our band reciprocated by playing at Shamokin High School on lllarch 26. The band was enthusiastically received and invited to return the following year. The great love for instrumental music, built Vis up in our community in a large part by our high school instrumental groups, made possible the appearance, in Pottsville, of the famous if l Allentown Band under the direction of Alber- gx-Dirx tus L. Meyers. A joint concert with our high school band was given on the night of April bg 16. A capacity audience was in attendance, I 'S and a concert that will long be remembered by all was presented. JACK Dove Drum Major Page Ninety-three 'ORCHESTRHH Y W 1- The orchestral season began officially this year with the presentation of Cn Our YVay,'y an educational review, on November ll, 1940. Because of a lack of seating space in the pit, the large orchestra could not be used, so a special fifteen-piece orchestra was selected to play for this presentation. This orchestra was composed of the follow- ing: Violins-Donald Friedman, Joe Griesg Cello-Cynthia Pines, Bass Violin- .leanne Harvey, Flute-Seemon Pines, Clarinet-Alexander Chomang Saxophones- Charles Boyer, Frank NIacHenryg French Horn-George Roberts, Trumpets- Clarence Sharp, Lamar Dalton, Trombone-VVilliam Brown, Drums-Gale Qstg Piano-jane Stoner, Conductor-Leo F. bliririiehbach. VVith their highly creditable playing, this group made a contribution to the success of On Our Way which cannot be over-estimated. In fact, many out-of-town people asked if the members were high school students and commented on the professional style with which they played. The Chamber Ensemble, which has been of invaluable service to the school and community for several seasons past, was greatly in demand again this year. The per- sonnel consisted of Donald Friedman, violinist and leaderg Cynthia Pines, cellistg Seemon Pines, tlutist. and .lane Stoner, pianist. The excellent musicianship of each member of this group was very apparent in the fine ensemble and artistic finish dis- played. The full orchestra made its initial appearance at the hlid-VVinter Concert, Febru- ary 19, with Dr. Buys, noted conductor and composer, as guest conductor. The same high standards set by the truly fine orchestras of the past several years were upheld, and new laurels were added. Proof of the high type of music played is shown in the fact that a number, The Entrance of the Sirdar, by Iufrznotu, played by our orchestra on its lklid-VVinter Concert. was played by the Detroit Symphony Orchestra on its Sunday evening broadcast, February 9. Dr. Buys praised the orchestra members for their fine spirit and playing ability and was very much pleased with their excellent presentation of one of his own compositions, The Governor, a grand march Written especially for the inauguration of Governor Brumbaugh of Pennsylvania. The fact that our instrumental graduates are sought by leading college directors is proof of the fine training afforded here in Pottsville High School.

S. 18 St. Clair High 0 Pottsville High defeated St. Clair High, 18-0, in the opening game of the 1940 season, under the lights, on the Veterans' Memorial gridiron, September 6, before a crowd of about 6,000. Pottsville made a slow start. The Saints tackled hard and held for downs three or four times deep in their own territory. Then Jerry Evans went into the fray and made his presence felt. He passed to Madara and Maley for repeated gains, then eventually tossed touch- down passes to Matt Maley, 43 and 45 yards, respectively. Coach Allen sent in a lot of substitutes, the understudies seemed to gain better than the starting regulars. In the final quarter Eugene Riehl got going and was then sparkling in a touchdown march of 65 yards, Sidler having scored the final tally. Tony Ventresca, P. H. S. co-captain, was injured and was unable to show his usual speed, while Co-captain Eagan was in for not more than half of the game. P. H. S. 27 Ashland High 12 On Friday night, October 13, the Crimson Wave defeated Ashland High, 27-12, in a highly exerting game on the local field. Ashland stunned the crowd by scoring first when Albie Evans raced 55 yards for a touchdown near the end of the first quarter. A few plays later Pottsville scored and felt gratified that the extra point was converted, thus making the count 7-6. P. H. S. made it 14-6 at halftime and was ahead by 27-6 until the last play of the game, but Ashland gained a lot of ground, and the whole affair was highly exciting, though somewhat erratic. Bob Sidler plunged hard and elu- sively, and Griff Morgan showed up well. Jerry Evans and Morgan each scored once, Sidler went into pay dirt twice in this contest. . B! ll P. H. S. 20 Overbrook High 6 TU Q Pottsville High defeated Overbrook, 20-6, Saturday aft- ernoon, September 21, here. The visitors scored first and scared home patrons con- siderably, but a 47-yard run by Matt Maley, following the next kickoff, put Pottsville back in the game. Pottsville made a 46-yard march before the first half ended with the score 14-6 in favor of the home club with Tony Ventresca and Jerry Evans gaining well. In the last quarter Pottsville showed its best offensive of the early season by marching consistently for 65 yards and a touchdown on nine plays. Jerry Evans did the best gaining on the advance. Pottsville couldn't get started until the wind advantage, penalties, and a 24-yard march gave the visitors a touch- down, but considerable good defensive work was shown, with Madara throwing back several early threats around end. Battery F, 213th Coast Artillery, was present for the occasion as guests of the Athletic Association. The sol- diers marched through a guard of honor formed by the Pottsville High School Band and were applauded roundly by spectators. Patriotic songs were sung by the assemblage, , and the Rev. E. W. Weber, pastor of Trinity Lutheran Q Church, spoke to the veterans, telling them they were the First Defenders of this vicinity and that it was appropriate to honor them at Veterans' Memorial Stadium. P. H. S. 7 Lansford High l2 Lansford earned a 12-7 victory over Pottsville High in a tensely exciting game before a huge crowd on Friday night, September 27. r The visiting team scored first and outplayed the home club during the Hrst half. Then Pottsville came back and , went ahead, 7-6. In the last quarter, with about a minute f to go, Lansford won out, 12-7. 1 L MR. THURMAN T. ALLEN Head Coach Page Ninety-nine it Ukwrf ' - JJQWW Mrf'fLfyW'f f roomate WY if QWJWW a e 'W I 'W Morgan Sheipe Evans A. Ventresca Sidler Maley Madara J. Lutchkus P. Lutchkus Eagan Cahall Covage Stephenson McGeoy Carusella Kern Macunas There was no fluke about Lansford's victory. The first touchdown was attained on a steady march of 55 yards on nine plays. The last was of 46 yards on eight plays. In between, Pottsville scored on a 40-yard forward pass gain by Maley. Lansford played an almost Hawless game and showed Z1 great scholastic star in Kennedy, who ran reverses with the speed and agility of a rabbit, while Delpero hit the line for repeated gains. Pottsville seemed to have the game won at 7-6 in the last quarter after a good kick by Maley put the battle on Lansford's 12-yard line. But exchange of punts, a penaltv against Pottsville, and a heavy loss on an attempted forward gave Lansford position for its final drive of 46 yards. Not till then did Lansford cut loose with its forward passes, the Pottsville team having been drawn up in expectance of running plays. Jaso caught two passes for the winners at critical times. It was a hard game to lose, for it seemed won, but Lansford had the first downs and yardage and deserved to win. Incidentally, it was the first time Lansford ever won from Pottsville High. P. H. S. 14 Sunbury High 21 Striking with a furious aerial attack in the second half, Sunbury High School's grid Owls defeated Pottsville High, 21-14, Friday night, October 4, after the Crimson had scored two touchdowns in the first three minutes of play. Three rugged gridders who learned their early football fundamentals at the I. O. O. F. Orphanage near Sunbury, Backs Bob Seymour and Leo Balestrini and End Bo-b Stevens, gave a brilliant exhibition of passing and ran the Pottsville defense forces ragged over the grassy turf of Sunbury's Fourth VVard Stadium. Nearly 6,000 fans, of whom more than half traveled to the game from Pottsville to see the Allenmen open their Big 15 schedule, watched the Owl attack register two third-period scores and clinch the contest with another in the final quarter, all on pass plays. With the exception of the blazing first-period assault, the game was dom- inated by the Sunbury team. Pottsville's every offensive drive bogged down, either as the result of a penalty, fumble, or inability to penetrate the Owl defense. Co-captain Francis Eagan's line play and the running of Jerry Evans, Bob Sidler, and Tony Ventresca featured the Allenmen's battle. P. H. S. 0 Bethlehem High 24 Bethlehem High, with the most powerful club to visit this city since 1938, defeated Pottsville High, 24-0, Saturday afternoon, October 12, before a capacity attendance. Bethlehem scored once in every period and made three sustained marches. The first tally came in the first few minutes, after a kick had been blocked on TONY VENTRESCA Co-captain Pagf One Hundred s if gf . , I, r A , 5 .fl , 1 . ' I . Pbttsville's 17 line. -Bethlehem's second touchdown came after a march of 80 yards on twelxle plays. The tlziird was a march of 53 yards on nine plays and the fourth an advance of 50 yards on twelve. Pottsville had thyee opportunities to score. Once Matt Maley ran back a kickoff to Bethlehems 27 line. On another occasion Ventresca picked up a fumble and ran 80 yards for what appeared to be a touchdown, but the play was recalled on a technicalityg on a third occasion, Joe Lutclikus capght a pass' and advanced S3 yards to Be-thlehem's 27 line. But, the home club could ffiot gain consistently and was the victim of many penalties. N Y Bethlehem turned out to be the Big Fiftebu Conference ghampions, and Pottsville's consolation was that its team fought gamely against a great high school team and against a number of bad breaks. f J X P. ll-I. 6 lzaslionsl-I1 h 25 Q X, Pottsville High lost by ZSV6 at Easton,', Satu5day, October 19, but played a hard game.

P. H. S. 18 William Penn High O Pottsville High won at William Penn, Harrisburg, 18-0, Saturday, November 2. William Penn gained a lot of yardage, however, and threatened dangerously on several occasions. A fumble on the 20-yard line gave Pottsville position for its Hrst touchdown. A fast 95-yard sprint by Tony Ventresca earned the second. The third came on a 30-yard pass gain carried by Eagan, who bowled over tacklers on his way across the goal. Pottsville's line held well, throwing back drives through the middle. Eagan stood out in backing up the line, while Sheipe and Covage did well in blocking kicks or rushing the William Penn backs. X P. H. S. Z0 Tamaqua High O .1 jj Pottsville High won at Tamaqua, Friday, November 8, 20-0, playing one of its best games of the season, barring considerable fumbling. Tony Ventresca was the main feature, as he ran the ball beautifully for consistent gains. Matt Maley registered the first touchdown on a long pass from Ventresca and got the second, too, on a well-executed reverse run of 30 yards. Ventresca earned the third on a fast 48-yard dash, which he started through center. l Pottsville intercepted a number of Tamaqua passes and ran some of them back for good gains. The blocking was better than ever, too. It was a cold, windy night, with the wind blowing in gusts i m e the ball hard to handle. That may have accounted for the misplays of both sides. . x . l' .,' l l l :Q l si Smith Gregalonis Fanok Canheld Calabro Davis Hughes Catsampas Uranko Reber DeVecca Mr. Jones Rosetta Evans Croll l Page One Hundred Tlwo L R ei- . is r 1 'i , 2.

' P. H. S. 7 Hazleton High 12 Hazleton High nosed out Pottsville High, 12-7, after trailing 7-6 up to the last quarter. The game was played here Friday night, November 15. Pottsville scored first on a march of 63 yards, with Ventresca sprinting 30 yards for the touchdown on a lateral from Sheipe. But a fumble on the second play after the second half's kickoff gave Hazleton the ball on Pottsville's 42 line, and from that position the Mountaineers marched to a touchdown on five plays. The extra point was missed, however. just before the last quarter began, Hazleton started a 59-yard march, which gave the winning touchdown in the last quarter. Pottsville then advanced from the next kickoff to Hazleton's 6 line, where a touchdown seemed imminent, but Hazleton's left end caught Ventresca from behind at a critical time, and the ball was lost on downs near the 11 line. P. H. s. 6 Reading High 13 Reading High defeated Pottsville High, 13-6 in an excellent and exciting game at Albright Field, Saturday, Nov- ember 23, before some 9,000 spectators, who formed Reading's best attendance of the season. Reading scored early when a Pottsville receiver deflected a pass into Missbach's hand, but from then on it was a nip and tuck game. Pottsville tallied in the last quarter when Tony Ventresca sprinted exactly 80 yards around the Red Knights' left flank. On another occasion Pottsville staged a 68-yard march to Reading's 12 line, where Maley lost the ball to Fromuth. Pottsville held a threatening Reading advance on the one-yard line, and, when the kick-out was run back, held again on the 15. Coach Allenls team played its best game of the season, with the line holding one of the most powerful teams in the state as well as any opponent has done this season, forcing the Red Knights to win on an interception and a pass. It was a game full of exciting plays. P. H. S. 30 Lebanon High 7 Pottsville High concluded its 194-0 football season by defeating Lebanon High, 30-7, here, Thursday afternoon, November 28. Snow covered part of the field, with the space between the 20-yard lines being cleared but treacherous of footing. Frequent fumbling, caused by the cold, a gusty wind, and, to some extent, the snow, made it an erratic game. Neither side could gain consistently in the first half, Pottsville's first touchdown coming on one long 80-yard run by Ventresca, while position for the second was set up by a kick blocked by Kern and recovered by Hughes, with Evans then running 15 yards for a score. Lebanon's touchdown was set up when the wind blew a reverse english kick by Maley back to Pottsville's 15 line, with Hess ultimately sprinting 6 yards around end for a tally. Lebanon still was in the game, 18-7, with the third quarter ended, but an interception and 60-yard run by Ven- tresca ended the anxiety at 24-7. A blocked kick and 4-yard run by Evans brought the last six-pointer. Near the end of the game, Coach Allen sent in nearly all his substitutes, thirty-four being accounted for. Eagan, Ventresca, Stevenson, McGeoy, Kern, Morgan, Maley, and Sheipe played their last game for P. H.

A Magazine Romance Gne Time in this Living Agel' of ours I took the Liberty to make a Pictorial Reviewu of something that was really Cosmopolitan.', The Outlook,' from my Window was not so clear, so I had to use 'LThe Telescope in order to see Who's VVho. Every week 'AThe Country Gentleman, who was the son of an old Path- finder, a Popular lVIechanic,,' came to see HlVlodern Priscillaf, who was admired for her Good Housekeeping. She loved Nature,' and Dumb Animals. In the little town of Harpers where the Hllrlodern Priscilla' lived, there was a Saturday Evening Post. Here is where she would always wait for her Country Gentleman. She became interested in him, as he was a real American,' and would make an ideal VVoman,s Home Companion. After a few months of True Romance, during which he made a True Confessionl' of his love for her, they were married by The Judge. Their Life was divided between School and Societyf' spending much of their Time', on their Education.,' ln the evening they would attend the Theatre together, where they would see all phases of l'lWovieland,', HScreenland,U and also the HCurrent Historyu of the HNati0n. After the HTheatre, '4lN'lcCalls,' invited the young couple over to listen to KWVhat's On the Air , it seemed that all lVIusical American was on the program. Our young couple enjoyed the entertainment, for they were enthusiastic readers of the Hlitudel' and Radio Digest. Our 'KCountry Gentle- man became interested in '4Science and later became The lVIath. Teacherl' in the New Republic. After making A National Geographic study of America, the couple took their American Boy with them on a trip to 'iAsia. Yes, this is a True Storyul 49 C9 6?
