The club has three objectives to which each member pledges herself. The first is Welfare, which, because of wartime conditions, is now limited to finana cial contribution. The second object is Personal Improvement, which includes lectures, demonstrations, and instruction in handiwork. The third objective is Entertainment, which includes teas, parties, and 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 initia- tive. A Each prospective member takes a written examination, is interviewed per- sonally by the club members, and is required to go through a probationary period before being accepted as a full-fledged member.

There are no entrance requirements other than that of at least one year of high school Latin and a successful completion of a probation period. The dues have been reduced from seventy-five cents to Hfty cents a year because of a larger membership. No member may have more than three unexcused absences, but, if he is dropped from the roll, he may re-enroll the following year. The club was formed in 1942 and since that time has more than doubled its roll. The officers, with the able guidance of Miss Esther Iohnson, the faculty adviser, have planned interesting and varied programs for the entertainment of the members. Among the things discussed are Roman and Greek art, archiw tecture, costumes, and legends, while parties and outside entertainment are probable.

Its aim is to give to the older as well as the younger boys some taste and knowledge of military life. Many high school boys who have left the ranks of the Cadet Corps and gone into the army have found this limited training very valuable. The company consists of two platoons.

War-time travel restrictions have prevented the out-of-town concert activities which earned many laurels for the A Cappella Choir, Choral Ensemble, and Verse Choir. Nevertheless, the Associated Choirs of 1943- 1944 have main- tained the high musical standard established by the State Contest Winners and the National Festival participants of the decade prior to 1941. The traditional Christmas Concert, held December 8, the Music Festival in May, and additional presentations at patriotic rallies, community meetings, and school assemblies, served as sufficient motivation to keep student morale at concert pitch throughout the year. Public appreciation of the choirs' singing was evidenced by large and en- thusiastic audiences at both major concerts. At Christmas, all choirs taking part, traditional carols and patriotic songs were featured. For the second year, community singing of Christmas carols was enjoyed by the audience and choirs. Mr. D.

Minnichbach, was still able to maintain a mefinbeifsgfip of seventy-five players. Again the organization played in true professional style. showing' excellent musicianship in every respect. Befbause of triestricted travel, the band played for only the home football games and dis- played fine drills and marching techniques. Worthy of special mention were the patriotic ,drills performed at the Sunbury game. Upon completion of their very attractive and original openingflghey formed a company front and paraded the colors, color guard, drum majors and majorette in review, and following- this formation the letters U. S. A., were formed. Each memb marked his position in the letters by placing on the turf an American flag attached to a all staff, The band then played Sousa's famous marph, Stars and Stripes Forever. Thexlaags presented a very colorful-effect as ,fhefband marched toward the large American flag at the east end of the stadium. Facing the flag at an angle to the grandstands, the band s ood at attention while two trumpeters, Quentin Koch and Robert Witman, standing on g osite sides of the field, played taps im memory of, the boys who have given their lives in 'thgservice of our country After taps the HStar-Spangled Banner was played, Many fine -icommentsiwere received from the fans on this thrilling performance. The band also played for patriotic affairs which included War Bond rallies, F. B. l. meet- ings, parades, and government programs. i This year, in addition to the two majorettes, four new ones w re added, which greatly enhanced the organizations appearance nd 'added more color. Betty Davis, Patricia Flanigan, Catherne S fer, and Mary Schultz were the new majorettes. The two form m orettes were Captain Vera Murphy and Doris Murray. ln I y, the P . i S.

The Annual Spring Concert was giv- en on April 20th. Dr. Peter Buys, fa- mous composer and musician, was the guest conductor, and a fine perform- ance was given by the soloists and the band. Dr. Buys, in commenting on the instrumental organizations of Pottsville High School, stated that it is always a great pleasure for him to come here because of the excellent training these students are receiving. At the All- State High School Band Festival held in Farrell, Pa., in Ianuary of 1943, Captain George S. Howard, of the Army Special Services, who was Fliegel Lord Keeney Haag Mehlman Davis guest conductor, paid high tribute to our band. He stated that even in Washington, D, C., he has heard of the splendid work and concerts of the Pottsville High School Band. The band played for the Class Day and Commencement Exercises at the close of the school term. U i s lvania. Because of the Orchestra The 1943-44 season of the P. H. S. Orchestra was a very successful one despite the enlist! ment of many boys in the armed forces. However, a membership of forty players was main- tained. Proper presentation of musical knowledge and facts has built up a great appreciation for the music of the great masters. This fact was evidenced in their concert programs which in- cluded the works of Bach, Beethoven, Brahms, Haydn, Handel, and Schubert. . The traditional Christmas concert was given in assembly on December 17, 1943, This pro- gram did much to enhance the spirit of the season. The selection, At Christmastidef' was especially beautiful and was enriched by extraordinary lighting effects. The orchestra participated in the Annual Spring Concert, held on April 20, 1944, with Dr. Peter Buys as guest conductor. Dr. Buys was particularly pleased with their performance and commended the players highly. .X The orchestra also played for F. B. I. meetings, war bond rallies, ol and community affairs. Patriotic music was stressed. g if m..!if78l7X.,v M5120 I4 CkLhjMA?tMx JM!

Championsi, Bethlehem, Easton, Allentown 'tBig Fifteen Champio , A5 J and Hazleton. The team gave all it had and never quit, no matter what the score was - a highly commendablevspi t, X indeed. 3 A'Bobby Stoner was awarded the outstanding Pottsville High football plaque at the December 13th meeting o her Lion's Club at the Necho Allen Hotel. ' P. H. S. 12 sr, Clair High 0 .L Pottsville High began its 1943 football season at home before a record-breaking opening crowd of 5,200 on ida night, September 10, by defeating St. Clair, 12-0. The game marked the debut of a new P. H. S. coaching staflkonsist- A x ing of Mr. Kotys and Mr, Kadel. Pottsville scored both of its touchdowns in the initial quarter, the first having resulted from a 56-yard drive ' which McCloskey reached paydirt. The second touchdown later was also accounted for by McCloskey on a ling sgsh, 1 The Crimson line seemed very strong, but overeagerness aggregated 120 yards in penalties. The playing! the vf - erans, I. Reese, Monahan, Stoner, and McCloskey, was out-standing. N P. H. S. 18 West Hazleton High 0 l AX if Pottsville High conquered its second opponent, West Hazleton, on Friday I night, September 17, at Memorial Stadium, 18-0. The Crimson and White gridders scored early in the first period on a 44- M ,, yard drive with McCloskey scoring. Pottsville scored in the second period from the 8-yard line after the recovery of a fumble by Curtier. In the final fo period Spontak went 26 yards around end for the third six-pointer In addition to the fine playing of the line, the backfield play of McGoey. McCloskey, Lee, Stoner, and Spontak was outstanding. The inability of the A local gridders to complete forward passes appeared to be their chief weak- ness. P. H. S. 0 Lansford High 32 Pottsville High lost its first game of the season to Lansford by a score of 32-0 on the local gridiron under the floodlights on Friday, September 24, Amr' before 7,500 fans. Lansford's backs, having scored in each of the three opening periods and 1 twice in the final quarter, completely dominated the play throughout the game.l Churchran, Sniscak, and Lukac ran through the Crimson line almost l at wil . 1 Althou h outmanned Curtier Reese and Stoner starred for P H S g , , I. , . . . Curtier and Reese repeatedly stopped the ball carrier: Stoner often spilled 1 the Lansford backs who were in the open. l P, H.

Pottsville scored in 1 the closing minutes of the first half, with Stoner going across the goal line. Early in the fourth period Picus recovered a fumble on the visitors' 26-yard line: from this point P. H. S. proceeded to the second score, McCloskey hav- ing crossed the goal line on a pass play.

L1 f 4 From the early moments of the game the outcome was certain. . Bethlehem scored Hve times in the first half and once in the ju, 4' L second. The Red Hurricane's 125-pound halfback, Billy ,,,, ML? Walsh, crossed the Crimson goal line four times. Pottsville's only score came in the third period on a 71-yard drive, with Stoner crossing the double stripe. The blocking of Quarter- back Lee was especially noticeable in this drive, P. H. S. 7 Easton High 22 Before 2,000 fans who braved a driving rainstorm, Pottsville suffered defeat at the hands of Easton, 22-7, in Veter- ans' Memorial Stadium on Saturday afternoon, October 16. The Crimson Tide had held the Red Rovers to a 7-7 tie at half time, but unfortunate misplays by the home team opened the door for Easton's triumph. Easton scored first in the opening period, with Fullback Lehr going over. In the second quarter Pottsville, sparked by Stoner's 50-yard run, marched 70 yards for a score, with McCloskey going over on a pass from Stoner. The extra point was added by Macunas on a triple reverse. ln the last half Easton capitalized on Pottsville's errors and scored two touchdowns and a safety. The sad note of the game came when Charlie Macunas broke his nose in the third period. P. H. S. 0 Allentown High 39 Pottsvil1e's journey to Allentown on Saturday night, October 23, proved disastrous, as the Crimson Tide was over- whelmed by a score of 39-0. Sparked by their star, Iimmy Kline, Allentown scored once in the opening period, three times in the second, and twice in the third. Dini, the substitute-for Kline, threw three touchdown passes during the landslide. Pottsville never seemed to advance the pigskin, and the Crimson Tide never had possession of the ball in Allentown territory. P. H. S. 18 Lebanon High 12 The Pottsville gridders journeyed to Lebanon on Friday evening, October 29, to defeat the Red Cedars, 18-12, before 4,000 fans. Pottsville tallied first in the second period when Earl Reese caught a 35-yard pass from Stoner for a touchdown. In the third period Gamber and Morrow scored for Lebanon. In the final quarter McCloskey scored twice to give the Crimson Wave its victory. The passing combination of A'Bob Stoner to Earl Reese and the fine running of Mills McCloskey made the triumph possible. Slefmev- '? wx L14-.ctcuwxxt-1 -4 - R lv-we tml 1.-- uk., P. H.

In the second period Stoner scored after he had run back a punt 414 yards to the visitors' 6-yard line. The extra point was scored on a pass to Earl Reese. In the third quarter Stoner climaxed a 41-yard drive by going over for a touchdown, The backfield work of Lee, McGeoy, Spontak, and Stoner, along with the Hne blocking by the Crimson forward wall, brought the team a well-deserved victory. P. H. S. 7 Hazleton High 12 On Friday night, November 12, Pottsville was defeated at Hazleton, 12-7, before 4,000 fans. The Crimson Tide had the Mountaineers defeated, 7-6, in the last two minutes of the game, then disaster struck. The P. H. S, gridders scored first in the second period after McGeoy had intercepted a Hazleton pass on the Moun- taineers' 10-yard line. Lee crossed the goal line on a quarterback sneak. Stoner, on a fake pass play, drove over for the extra point. Parrell scored for Hazleton in the third period, but the extra point was not made. Then late in the fourth period a 15-yard penalty was called against P. H. S. for 'Aillegal use of hands, and immediately Referee Harry Rudolph walked off another 15 yards for McCloskey's having been in that officials way. This completely demoralized the local team, and, with two minutes remaining, Parrell crossed the P. H. S. goal line on a pass play. The Pottsville honorary captain for this game was Tackle MBob Wallace, who left for the U. S. Army Air Corps the following week. This game was one of the most outstanding any Pottsville team has ever played against Hazleton. The players worked as a unit and de- served to win, but victory was not to be theirs.

S. cagers split their 22-game schedule, winning ll and losing ll, The team from the beginning showed great promise of becoming a championship club, but they never seemed able to reach their peak. In the exhibition games they defeated all their opponents at least once, except Frackville and the Alumni, Both the Frackville games were closely contested, with the outcome in doubt most of the way. The highlight of the season came when an under- rated P. H. S, team upset Allentown Central Catholic, one of the strongest teams in the state. The P, H. S, showing in league competition was fair. After giving Bethlehem a great battle in the opening game, and then defeating Tamaqua, great things were expected, but injuries hampered the squad's progress, Hazleton and Allentown swamped the home squadg mean- while, we had defeated Easton. ln the second half the Crimson and White were only able to defeat Tamaqua. McClure was the high scorer for the year with 238 points, followed by Scheipe l38, Beisel 129, Kelly 109, and Harvey 95. This years squad was composed of Capt. Scheipe Beisel, McClure, Harvey, Kelly, Gould. Stoner, Majeskie, and Koons. McClure, Harvey, and Kelly, three starters, are underclassmen and will play more basketball for P. H, S.

Don't waste time giving reasons why you didn't, or couldn't, or shouldn't. If I hire you to cook for me, I expect my chops and baked potatoes on time, done to a turn, and appetizing. I am not interested in the butcher's mistake, nor in the stove's defect, nor the misery in your left arm. I want food, not explanations. You can't eat explanations. If I hire you to take care of my automobile, or factory, or shirtwaist counter, I do not want to hear why things are half done: I want results. So also if you come to me and hire me to do a job of writing by the fifteenth of the month, you do not want me to show up on that day with a moving-pic- ture story describing how I couldn't do what I was paid for. You want the writing, and you want it first class, all wool, and a yard wide. This is cold, cruel, heartless talk. It is - to all second-raters and shirkefs. But to real men it is a joy and gladness. They rejoice to make good them- selves, they expect others to make good, and they like to hear preached the gospel of making good. Mr. Yust, the Rochester librarian, in his report some time ago, spoke of the Parable of the Talents, in which we are told of the three servants who re- ceived talents, five, three, and one, respectively. On the master's return they all rendered accounts of their stewardship. The Hrst two had doubled their capital. Each of them said so in fourteen words, and their work was pro- nounced: Well done, good and faithful servant. Servant number three had accomplished absolutely nothing, but he made a full report in forty-two words, three times as long as the other reports. There you have it. The less you do, the more you explain. EFFICIENCY! Learn that word by heart. Get to saying it in your sleep. Of all the joys on this terrestrial sphere, there is none quite so soul-satisfy- ing and one-hundred-pergcentish as Making Good. Do your work a little better than anyone else could do it. That is the mar- gin of success. Making good needs no foot-notes. Failure requires forty-two words. 102 IRJ at Qfza uafion ime The exchange of photographs with classmates keeps sehool-day friendships for all tinie.
