It covers such phases as ushering at all school affairs, recording points of students obtained for extra-curricular activities, operates a lost-and-found department and hall patrol, and sends cards to absent stu- dents, and plans the assembly programs. During the year, many drives were carried on. Penny-a-Week at Christ- mas made it possible to distribute 354 packages to needy children. The Red Cross Drive, totaling 347.941, helped to fill gift boxes for children of foreign countries and buy dance records for Indiantown Gap Military Reservation. Also, 350 decks of cards were contributed for use at Indiantown Gap. This year, new goals were reached. Chartered buses were obtained for all away football games. Game rooms for pleasure of students during lunch periods were equipped and supervised by students themselves. They also worked with Hi-S-Potts newspaper and Y. W. C. A. to help establish a Youth Center. Arrangements were also made to clean school flags and banner. They cooperated with classes to help decorate the school at Christmas. The outstanding social event of the year was the All-School dance, which was conducted in a most successful fashion. The benefits from this year of Council work may readily prove it has been profitable. The cooperation of its representatives under able guidance of Miss D. K. Critz has enabled the year to be a successful one. OFFICERS President ....... ..... ............. V i rginia Keihm Vice-President .... .... . .Robert Scott Secretary ....... ......

These members are chosen for outstanding participation in at least one activity, qualities of leadership, and a satisfactory scholastic standing. Seven members are chosen near the close of each school term at which time their initiation takes place. The T. K. D. enjoys the honor of being the oldest strictly student organi- zation in the school. Since its beginning, the club has sought to aid some worthy student in his education through a scholarship fund or to apply its resources in some other direction where they will be most beneficial. The activities of this group include a Thanksgiving Farmer-Farmerette dance, a spring dance, the sponsoring of a football concession stand in coop- eration with the Student Council, the purchase of records for use in the gymnasium, and the holding of a banquet for current members and alumni.

The principles of this club are better reading, better writing, and better speaking. Phi Gamma Lambda consists of twenty seniors, fifteen juniors, ten sopho- mores, and five freshmen. These students are chosen by their successful deliverance of an original oration before a group of judges from the club. Students trying out must have a scholastic average of C or better. The annual Christmas dance, this year known as the Holly Hop, started the club's activities for 1945-46. The center of attraction of the beautiful decorations in the gymnasium was a huge, lighted Christmas tree. The Phi Gamma Lambda was fortunate enough to be the first ones to use Mr. For- tune's crystal ball at this dance. The annual custom of filling stockings for the Children's Home was fol- lowed again this year to the delight of both the givers and the receivers. During the Christmas season, the opportunity of meeting new friends and renewing old acquaintances is presented at the alumni luncheon at the Necho Allen Hotel. The arrival of spring brings with it Phi Gamma Lambda Week. During this week, Phi Gamma Lambda delights the students and faculty by present- ing to them a guest artist and a play. The week is highlighted by the annual spring dance. The club officers for the following year are also announced during Phi Gamma Lambda Week. The end of the year is brought to a happy ending by a picnic. OFFICERS President ....... ................... V irginia Keihm Vice-President . . . .......,. . . . . . .

Because of Mr. l'leim's absence after the first semester of the 1945-46 term, the club is now under the capable direction of Mr. Felix Kadel. This year's activities included dissecting a cat, raising plants, raising trop- ical lish, and caring for other fish in an aquarium. Besides these activities, the members enjoy regular biology discussions and programs.

The purposes of this club are to arouse and maintain an interest in photography, to provide a means of keeping a per- manent record of activities in school, and to aid each individual member of the club in furthering his knowledge of photography.

Membership in the club is obtained only by those students who have successfully passed their tryouts by reciting two selections before a group of judges. This year the Dramatic Club has produced a series of plays known as The Four Freedoms. The first play was entitled Town Wanted, which dram- atized freedom from fear, the second play, Election of Lincoln, portrayed freedom from want: the third play, Front Page, represented freedom of speech, and the fourth, The Springfield Way, enacted freedom of religion. Miss Blanche Curran was the first adviser of the club this year, but upon her resignation, Miss lean Cooper took her place. Miss Cooper, who is now teaching elsewhere, was replaced by the present adviser, Mr. Miles Kiehner. OFFICERS President. ...... ............... .... I a ck Hock Vice-President . . . .....

HAVILAND V ROBERT SCOTT Director of Choral Music THE ASSOCIATED CHOIRS OF POTTSVILLE HIGH SCHOOL The Associated Choirs of Pottsville High School combine the talents of the A Cappella Choir of eighty-six voices, the Choral Ensemble of eightyfsix, the Girls' Choral Club of seventy, and the Iunior Choir of ninety-five. The choirs are directed by Earl W. Haviland, who organized them in 1928 and has served as teacher-conductor since that time. The senior choirs, through participation in national choral festivals, numerous contest victories, radio broadcasts and exchange and joint concerts with college choirs have firmly established themselves in an enviable position of musical lead- ership among the high schools of Pennsylvania. Cities visited were Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, Detroit, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Harrisburg, Ithaca, Sunbury, Iohnstown, Oil City, and Altoona. The Sixteenth Annual Christmas Concert held December 5th, 1945, featured traditional Christmas music by all the choirs. The theme of the program, Welcome Home to the vet- ertans of P. H. S., was effectively presented by the Choral Ensemble to more than sixty guests of honor, returned to their Alma Mater from many war fronts. An enthusiastic audience which taxed the capacity of the auditorium was generous in its appreciation. In addition, the A Cappella Choir and Choral Ensemble sang for the Kiwanis Club, gave an assembly concert, and entertained the pupils and teachers of the Iunior Elementary School. Lansing Hatfield, American baritone of the Metropolitan Opera Company and star of con- cert, radio, and theatre, was sent to Pottsville May 17, 1945, by the Treasury Department in appreciation of the outstanding work of the school in the sale of War Bonds and Stamps. Mr. Hatfield gave an evening concert and graciously consented to sing in assembly the following morning. Hearing a brief rehearsal of the A Cappella Choir, he expressed his DOROTHY LEHMAN ARTHUR BOBBS 675 , l, M, enthusiastic approval and suggested, If the director and choir were interested, that he would return the following season to sing the famous Ballad for Americans with them. The singers and their director were most certainly 'Ainterestedf' and so was the Kiwanis Club, whose Under-privileged Children's Fund was in need of replenishment. So on Tues- day evening, February 12, 1946, the birthday of the immortal Lincoln, Mr. Hatfield, his accompanist, Mr. Collins Smith, the A Cappella Choir and the Choral Ensemble presented a joint concert to a sold-out auditorium. Mr. Hatfield, in addition to singing the solo role in the Ballad with the Choral Ensemble, read the Carl Sandburg Litany, The Long Shadow of Lincoln. The choral background, Songs of Lincoln's Time, was provided by the A Cappella Choir. The following excerpt from Mr. I'latfield's letter to the director conveys strikingly his appraisal of the choir. My memories of Pottsville are still very fresh and I am delighted to learn that I am to have the pleasure of working with you and your fine group during the coming season. As I told you in Pottsville, the Ballad can be extremely exciting when sung by a group as enthusiastic as yours, It is a rare thing to find a choir that sings in such a way as to give the listener the feeling that he is listening to an individual who has been extremely well trained. It is like a perfectly controlled human diapasonf' The senior choirs accepted an invitation to participate in the regional choral festival held at the Kutztown State Teachers' College, March 28th, the first trip enjoyed by the choirs since May 5, 1941. The A Cappella Choir sang in the morning before the adjudicator, Dr. Luther Goodhart, of New York University, then combined with the other choirs in the afternoon in a prepared massed chorus program. The Choral Ensemble was invited to present two costumed folk- dance songs, featuring Bobby Clappier '47, Bobby Unger '48, Betty jane Leuchtner '48, and james Landy '46, The Eighteenth Annual Music Festival, held May lst, was the culmination of a year of musical development. The senior choirs were especially effective in a cappella and accompa- nied selections, their programs being much enhanced by colorful folk dances composed and directed by Miss Hannah Chadwick, instructor in physical education for girls. Folk songs of America, England, Russia, Denmark, and Czechoslovakia provided tuneful themes and spar- kling rhythms for the dancers, who received, with the singers, well-earned applause from the large and very appreciative audience. 68 The Girls' Choral Club, in formal evening dress, sang effectively and gave promise of excellent replacements for next year's senior choirs. The Iunior Choir gave unusually close attention and presented their program with confidence and enthusiasm. From their ranks will come the male voices for the A Cappella Choir of the immediate future. The Annual Veterans' Memorial Service and the Baccalaureate Service, held in the Sta- dium, were the Hnal appearances of the A Cappella Choir for this year, P In surveying the entire program, much emphasis must be placed upon the vigorous and conscientious student leadership which is largely responsible for the continuity of superior results secured year after year. The senior choirs of 1945-1946 may Well share with their director and officers deep and rilbidincg satisfaction in a challenging program courageously accepted and 'honorably per- orme . PV?

BAND - 1945-1946 The Pottsville High School Band hit a new high from the standpoint of musicianship and marching techniques during the 1945-1946 season. This organization is directed and drilled by Mr. Leo F. Minnichbach, whose inspiring leadership is responsible for its high rank among the better high school bands. For the first time since the beginning of the war, the band made its spirited presence felt at both the away and home football games. The press in the various cities visited were highly complimentary of its performance. The splendid appearance and excellent musicianship of this organization were sources of pride for all P. H. S. followers. The outstanding drills of this season were the Bubble Drill fin which the six majorettes threw bubbles to the audience in the grandstand while the band played 'Tm Forever Blow- ing Bubblesnj and the Turkey Time Drill on Thanksgiving Day. The band formed a turkey and a clock with the hands set at five, while the announcer proclaimed that at five o'clock it would be turkey time in Pottsville. On April 4, 5, 6, the instrumental music department was host to the Pennsylvania School Music Associa- tion All-District Band, a composite of one hundred fifty of the best musicians selected from the high schools of Berks, Carbon, Lehigh, Northampton, and Schuylkill counties. Mr. Adolph Vogel, well-known conductor of the Univer- sity of Pennsylvania Band and former member of the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra, was the guest conductor. The main concert was given on Satur- day evening, April 6th, in the high school auditorium. A masterful per! formance was given by these young inf strumentalists, who delighted the large and enthusiastic audience, not only with their brilliant playing, but also with their colorful array of band uniforms, each one wearing the garb of his own particular high school. The audience in- cluded music directors from each one PAT KNOBLOCH 70 MURPHY SCHAEFFER FLANIGAN SCHULTZ FLAIL MURRAY of the high schools represented, together with parents and friends of the participants. This concert succeeded admirably in its purpose of acquainting the public with the great good that is being done in our schools through music educationg it also served as a means of giv- ing purposeful expression to the talents of the pupils. The annual Spring Instrumental Concert was given on April 25th, at which time Miss Doro- thy Knauss, famous harpist, was the guest soloist, and Mr. Henri Elkan, of the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra, guest conductor. Mr. Elkan was lavish in his praise of the instru- mental groups and paid high tribute to Mr. Minnichbach, their director. The P. H. S. Band played for victory parades, honor roll unveilings, assembly concerts, and many community affairsg it closed a very successful year by providing music for the annual commencement exercises. P. H. S. ORCHESTRA- 1945-1946 The Pottsville High School Orchestra, always ardently received for its splendid perform- ance of the classics and other high-grade musical compositions, again enjoyed a very suc- cessful season during 1945-1946. The orchestra is directed and taught by Mr. Leo F. Min- nichbach, whose long experience in the realm of professional music helps to account for its high standard of achievement. The selection of four members of our P. H. S. Orchestra to participate in the Pennsylvania School Music Association All-State Orchestra held at Harrisburg on Ianuary 30-31, Febru- ary 1-2, 1946, was an acknowledgment of the high esteem in which our orchestra is held. 71 William McLaurin, a senior, won first place in the Tenor Saxophone Sectiong Harold Len- gel, a senior, won first place in the First Horn Section: Rachael Lawrence, a senior, won second place in the Second Clarinet Section: and her sister, Mildred Lawrence, a junior, won second place in the Second Flute Section. All were given medals of honor and certifi- cates of merit for their excellent playing. Two hundred high school students participated in this Grand Musical Festival. The program chosen for this occasion by P. S. M.A, exemplified the high objectives of this organization. Among the compositions presented were Symphony in D Minor by Cesar Frank: Adagio Pathetique, Godard-Iungnickelg Thornrose Waltz, Tschaikowsky: Slavonic Dance No. 8, Dvorak, and Procession of the Sardar, Ippolitov-Ivanov. The fine perform- ance given by these young musicians was comparable to that of professional symphony orchestras and was a great credit to their instructors as well as to those who instituted this particular activity in Pennsylvania. This year, as in former years, our own orchestra performed at the Annual Spring Concert of the instrumental groups, presented special assembly concerts, played for the Senior play, and assisted in civic activities. The Chamber Ensemble, traditionally associated with the annual presentation of the Min- uet, and active in other school and community affairs, proved itself worthy of every occasion on which it appeared. The personnel of this group is: William Stanton, violinist and leader: Mary Warmkessel, cellist: Adelaide Picus, flutist, and Dorothy Lehman, pianist. The orchestra concluded a highly satisfactory season by providing music for the Class Day exercises. P. H. S. DANCE ORCHESTRA- 1945-1946 The P. H. S. Dance Orchestra, newly organized last year by Mr. Minnich- bach, was continued again this year, because of its great popularity with the student body. This orchestra played for school dances, the National Honor Society Talent Show, and gave assembly concerts. The student body has shown warm appre- ciation for these merry-makers. All the members of this group are now playing regular engagements with professional dance orchestras, which is a testimonial to their proficiency. The personnel includes Ronald Messersmith, piano: William Marbaker, first trumpetg Chester Howells, second trumpet: lack Flanigan, trombone: Iames Deegan, first Eb alto saxophone: lack Spotts, third Eb alto saxophone: William McLaurin, tenor saxophone, Iames Coote, drums, and Mr. Leo F. Minnichbach, leader. 472 ATHLETICS WILLIAM BRESLIN CHESTER ROGOWICZ Director of Athletics Co-ordinator of Athletics Mr Mr Mr Mr Mr. Mr. A. A. BOARD OF CONTROL Lloyd L. Martz Herrwood Hobbs Howard S.

The team won nine out of the eleven games played, losing only to Allen- town 1Big Fifteen Championsl and Easton, a team P. H. S. has never defeated. The team was very light, being outweighed in every game played, but what it lacked in size it made up in spirit. Perhaps this fine quality can be summarized in the words of the head coach, Nick Kotys, In my ten years of coaching football, I have never had such a fine spirit. Fred lei Winn received the Lion's Club plaque as the most outstanding player of the year. His spirited leadership throughout the season brought the boys through many tough spots. P. H. S. 20 St. Clair 0 Pottsville High opened its 1945 football season on Friday evening, September 14, by de- feating St. Clair High School 20-0 at Veterans Memorial Stadium. The first score came on a safety after a bad pass from center on the five-yard line. Bob Clappier scored two touchdowns: the first on a two-yard plunge after a 57-yard march, and the other on a pass. Unger scored the other touchdown after an 85-yard drive, highlighted by a long run by Mike Palko. 4 The line, although light, was fast charging, and runs by Clappier and Palko were Out- standing. Corby featured the St. Clair play. P. H. S. 34 Schuylkill Haven 13 Pottsville High defeated a strong Schuylkill Haven club before 4,500 fans, Friday night, September 21. Ierry Laubach started the ball rolling by scoring two touchdowns on plunges of 9 and 2 yards each. Clappier also reached touchdown land twice on runs of 54 and 19 yards. Hoak chimed in with the others, taking a pass from Unger. Unger came in for his share of honors ik. 32.2 :aa xi' . 75 by kicking four extra points. Deibert passed to Sabolesky and Shaw for the Schuylkill Haven touchdowns with Kaufman kicking the extra point. The work of the Flying Featherweightsn high- lighted the game for P. H. S. Sabolesky's catch of the first touchdown pass was said to be one of the greatest exhibitions ever seen on the P. H. S. field. P. H. S. 14 Lansford 0 The Crimson Wave defeated Lansford for the first time in five years, before 6,129 thrilled spec- tators. It was one of the best played, and most interesting games of the season. Laubach hit pay dirt after a 67-yard march fea- tured by a 32-yard end-around run by Reaves. The other touchdown came on a 98-yard run bv Leo Ward. This run was the longest ever made by a P. H. S. player. Unger converted on both occasions. Clappier had two long runs for touch- downs called back. During the game the line, led by Winn and Heffner, put on what is said by many to be the KADEL KOTYS UNGER finest exhibition of blocking ever seen on a high Coaches school field. P. H. S. 20 Sunbury 6 Pottsville High opened its final Big Fifteen season by defeating The Sunbury Qwls under the floodlights on October 5, by a 20 to 6 score. Both teams played a listless first half, but Sunbury managed to score near the end on a pass from Viola to Bastian to lead, 6-0, at half-time. P. H. S. came back strong the second half with Clappier taking the opening kickoff and racing 80 yards for a touchdown. Clappier scored another soon after, and Reaves finished the scoring with a 65-yard run. Unger kicked extra points after the first two touchdowns, running his string to eight straight before missing after the third touchdown. Clappier's runback for the first P. H. S. touchdown, in which he outran Viola, brought double revenge: since it was Viola, who last year, scoring a last-minute touchdown by out-running Clappier, snatched victory from the Crimson hands. P. H. S. 31 Frackville 0 The Crimson Warriors ran roughshod over a weak but game Frackville team on Friday, October 21, for its fifth consecutive victory. . Clappier scored two touchdowns on 25- and 26-yard runs. Hoak, Ward, and Augustine scored the others on a plunge, a pass-play, and a 26-yard run, respectively. Coach Kotys only had the first string in action for only ten minutes of the game with the second string playing the rest of the time, and all of the players seeing action. Iohns, Sidler, and Weiss played a good brand of ball for the second team. P. H. H. 7 Easton 14 Pottsville lost its first game of the season to the Red Rovers of Easton before the season's largest crowd of 7,841. The Easton scores came on runs by Braun and Wesley with Bamford kicking the extra points. Pottsville's score came on a 20-yard pass from Unger to Clappier. Neither team was able to make any sustained marches. The team seemed to be keyed up to too great a pitch and couldn't get started. Even though the boys did the best they FRED WINN Q Captain l ,A , ,2K... could, the plays failed to click, and several times the players ran into each other. Evidence of how hard they tried was the fact that Reaves, Dzamko, and Helfner had to be taken from the game with injuries. P. H. S. 0 Allentown 32 Pottsville High journeyed to Allentown for a disastrous night on October 26, where a machine of football precision ran all over a bunch of plucky kids before 8,000 fans. On the third play of the game, Clymer started the rout by racing 58 yards for a touch- down. The touchdown parade continued with Snyder, jackson, Wanish, and Welbel hitting the pay dirt. The Crimson Warriors threatened twice, during the first period when Clappier broke loose, but was caught from behind by jackson, and in the second when Augustine sparked a drive that was stopped by a fumble. Winn and Sourber rallied the defense. P. H. S. 26 Lebanon 7 The P. H. S. gridders made their second trip of the season to Lebanon, where they broke a 7-7 halftime tie to hit the comeback trail, winning, 26-7, before 6,000 fans. Boehler scored the lone Red Cedar tally with Snyder's placement being good for the extra point. Clappier scored Pottsville's first touchdown after a march of 54 yards. In the second half, Hoak broke loose for several long runs, and scored two touchdowns, climaxing drives of 60 and 68 yards. Eagan scored the remaining touchdown on a quarterback sneak from the one-yard line. Hoak's runs and long kicks featured the offensive play, while Ulmer and Rizzardi for P. H. S., and Resonivich for Lebanon starred on the defense. P. H. S. 27 Tamaqua 14 The Crimson Tide returned to Veterans' Field before 6,000 on November 9, to defeat a strong Tamaqua team, 27-14. Clappier, on the the first play of the game, raced for what seemed to be a touchdown, but was knocked out on the one-yard line. Two plays later he took the ball over for the score. Five minutes later he ran 53 yards for another six-pointer. Unger converted on both occa- sions. Hoak took a beautiful pass from Eagan for the third touchdown and Clappier again hit pay dirt for the final P. H. S. score. During the second half, a rainstorm drove many of the fans home, but those who remained saw the Tams, led by Schermer, score two touchdowns when the superior weight of the Blue and White made itself evident on the slippery turf, jack Eagan, starting his second game at quarterback in place of the injured Unger, amazed fans by his calling of signals and throwing of passes. P. H. S. 27 Hazleton 7 The Crimson Wave traveled to Hazleton on Friday night, November 16, where before 4,500 fans they won the greatest victory of the season and gained revenge for a 30-yard penalty and subsequent loss on the last visit to the Hazleton Held. Pottsville wasted no time in scoring, with Augustine taking a pass from Unger,in the open- ing minutes for the first touchdown. Soon after, Unger went over on a quarterback sneak for WE? 0 the second score. Hazleton put on a passing attack near the end of the half with Silock taking the final one for the Mountaineers' lone tally. In the second half, with beautiful deception, Sourber raced unheeded for 17 yards and a six-pointer. In the closing minutes, Hippity- Hop Clappier entered the game after sustaining a leg injury earlier in the game and took a lateral pass from Unger for the final score. Illness and injury caused several shakeups in the Crimson lineup and brought about the odd facts of having several freshmen and sophomores playing most of the game, and having both quarterbacks in at the same time, Eagan playing fullback in the sick Laubach's place. Sourber and Goodman stood out on the defensive play, and Hoak's punts on the icy sod were a feature. P. H. S. 25 Reading 6 Pottsville High brought to a close its most successful season in seven years on Thanks- giving Day, November 22, by defeating Reading High, 25-6, in the annual Turkey Day bat- tle. The game was played in a sea of mud. The Crimson Tide broke into the scoring column on a pass play from Unger to Ward. Hoak plunged over for the second score, climaxing a drive of 75 yards. Unger, who han- dled the ball exceptionally well on the slippery turf, faked the whole Reading line in on a screen pass to Eagan, bringing the third score. After a 90-yard march, Clappier took the pig- skin into touchdown land for the final P. H. S. score of the year. Near the end of the game, Eschbuch raced 65 yards through the Crimson second string for the Red Knights' only score. Coach Kotys gave all the boys a chance to play in the game. The six seniors playing their last game under Pottsville's banner were Fred Winn fcaptainl, Ierry Laubach, Paul Good- man, Carl Ulmer, Ioe Curtier, and Bob Blackton.

H. S. cagers completed their most disastrous campaign in recent history with a record of three wins against sixteen losses. The team had three holdovers from last year's runner-up team and showed promises of greatness at times, but never managed to click enough to produce victories. The Crimson and White started the season by defeating a strong St. Clair club. A snag was struck at Frackville, but the boys came back lighting to register a convincing victory over Tamaqua. Then a fighting Gilberton team was nosed out in an exciting game. After losing to a powerful Alumni club, the P. H. S. squad was defeated in two closely contested frays against Lancaster and Frackville. The team seemed to have found itself when it bat- tled Allentown's State Champion team on even terms for the first half, but after the Canaries rolled up the score in the second half, the boys became so disheartened that they didn't recover until near the end of the season. Thence followed a string of reverses in which every league team, together with Allentown Central Catholic, defeated P. H. S. twice, and Reading and Tamaqua once. The most disastrous defeat was on Bethlehem High's floor, where a rec- ord 80 to 42 score was rolled up. The team began to show more enthusiasm and fight in the CHESTER ROGOWICZ ALFY BURCH Coach Captain 79394 Easton and Tamaqua games. Then, in the final game of the season, P. H. S. played its best game of the year by leading its arch-rival, Hazleton, throughout the game, only to lose in the last minute by one point. Alfy Burch was high scorer for the year. He also finished in fourth place in the league standing. The seniors playing on this year's team Were: Alfy Burch fcaptainl, lim Landy, Don Davis, Vic Muncy, Ierry Laubach, Bob Ficken, and Ioe Kelly. Wally Reed, Hap Hasenauer, Bobby Unger, Dick Hasler, and lack Flanigan made up the remainder of the squad. VARSITY SQUAD RECORD 1945 - 46 Season g December 7 .... P.

The play depicts the dilemma of the Mclntyres, who see their son and daughter tossed in the cataracts of adoles- cence and can help little further than give directions for the turbulent course from a distance, advices which egocentric youth always rejects, of course. These two kids, George and Terry, go through their throes of trials and tribulations in company with the neighborhood kids-Prudence, Dutch, Brian, and many others. The outlook is dark in many phases of the play, but in the end all works out for the best. Written with compassionate memory for the small tragedies and excited joys of adolescence, it proved to be very true to nature and provided the audience with an evening of delightful humor. The production was under the direction of Miss Edna L. Whitaker. The chairmen and members of the various play committees all contributed to its success. The cast was as follows: George Mclntyre ....... Terry Mclntyre ...... Mrs. Mclntyre ..... Professor McIntyre. .. Prudence . . .... .... Dutch Brian ........... Mrs. Patterson. . . . .

To Our Advertisers ufqbin The Business Staff of the 1946 edition of HI-S-POTTS - deeply appreciates the cooperation of the business men whose names appear in this section. We sincerely thank our advertisers for their help in making this book pos- sible. You certainly are Worthy of the patronage of the student body of Pottsville High School. .g............................-..............................4. By Popular Requestn- we are honored to repeat: I believe in the supreme worth of the individual and in his right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. I believe that every right implies cz responsibilityg every opportunity, an obligation: every possession a duty. I believe that the law was nzade for man and not man for the law,' that government is the servant of the people and not their master. I believe in the dignity of labor, whether with head or hand,' that the world owes no man a living but that it owes every man an opportunity to make a living. I believe that thrift is essential to well-ordered living and that econ- omy is a prime requisite of a sound fnancial structure, whether in gov- ernment, business or personal affairs. I believe that truth and justice are fundamental to an enduring social order. I believe in the sacredness of a promise, that a man's word should be as good as his bond, that char- acter-not wealth or power or posi- tion-is of supreme worth. I believe that the rendering of useful service is the common duty of mankind and that only in the purifying fire of sacrifice is the dross of selfishness consumed and the greatness of the human soul set free. I believe in an all-wise and all-loving God, named by whatever name, and that the individual's highest fulfillment, greatest hap- piness and widest usefulness are to be found in living in harmony with PIis Will. I believe that love is the greatest thing in the world,' that it alone can overcome hate,' that right 'can and will triumph over might. From Mr. John D.
