SK ,uk - V This is the diary of a senior. It is our story as we shall always Want to remember it. It all began on a September morning, four years ago. The whole World looked topsy-turvy to us freshmen. Seniors looked oh! so huge, and We felt so, so tiny. VVe were more frightened than ver- dant, more awe-struck than shy. Science classes held a special horror for us. For weeks on end, We lived in dread of Freshman Day. Finally it came. We were initiated into the school and found our- selves being absorbed into its customs and traditions. Eager to carve our own niche in High School Heights, We joined with the sophomores to give a Victory Dance. Proud of our success, we donated the profits to a Worthy organization. Then-all of a sudden-it was june. The seniors, our ideals were gone, and We were sopho- mores. L-M116 N--.u-. We came back early the first day of our sophomore year, proud to display our knowledge and sophis- tication to the new babies of the school. They told us the sophomores were the forgotten class of the school, but we never believed them for a minute. Pat and Clapp were our leaders, VVinnie Wrote a Buy-Bondsl' letter which was judged the best in the school. war came at last to our class, for, one by one, some of our classmates Hjoined upf' Months rolled by in quick succession. Finally, the seniors marched out of assembly to the tune of Auld Lang Synef' We lost our sister class and became upperelassmen. WDXJ Of our junior year we are very proud. We set a new tradition by holding an informal prom. Pat won a state essay contest and had her picture in all the papers. Hap5 Bud, and yet another Pat Won keys in the Scholastic Art Contest. Clapp made All-State. Miss Johnson and Mr. Miller started talking colleges, colleges, and more colleges. We realized that the end was drawing nearer and nearer. Senior Coinniencenient Exercises were beautiful. Our closest friends left. VVe Were alone-as seniors. '-fll18 We were the oldest class in the school, and we appreciated our prestige. Things were reversedg freshmen looked up and addressed us accordingly. Our first place in the lunch line Went unquestionedg they thought us infallible. The football season ended in an undefeated blaze of glory. Our own little puddle was shrinking. Mid-years held a new fear as our diplomas hung in the balance. In a short time, football and basketball rallies were over forever, then the lllinuet, and finally the Senior Play. We tacked a period to the end of many things. Before we knew it, the year had almost gone. The last assembly touched many a hard heart. We knew at last why seniors cried. P. H. S. was no moreg we were Alumni. TQIVXJ ELVIRA ALFONSI All the Warmth of 'KVera's'i native Italy is reflected in her smile. VVe have ample evidence of her industry and good nature in the fact that she has bright- ened the heart of many a Good Samaritan Hospital patient. Good luck, always! SARAH ARGALL Knowing Fuss has left us many delightful memories -the gay twinkle in her eye, the sin- cerity shining through her smile, the unquestioning generosity of her nature. Hers has been a friendship we shall always cher- ish. HAROLD ARTZ A'Hal is the easy-to-get-along with type. His years here in high school have been as packed with fun and good nature as it was possible for them to be-and all because he was glad to echo ev- ery laugh and return every smile. WAVERLY BACON Biff really lives up to his nickname. He's mad about box- ing and all that goes with it. His fairness and good sportsmanship are sure to make him a success in whatever field he chooses, be it the ring or some phase of the industrial work he did so Well here. ROBERT BARR Bob -- blond and athletic- has been the mainstay of the gym team for all his four years. Well liked by both sexes, he has made many female hea1'ts flutter. The results of his surplus energy may be seen on the walls of the art room. ELSIE BARRETT Our cloudiest days were al- ways brightened by Elsie's blithe laugh. Blessed with a joyous, ready wit, she leaves with us memories which are sprinkled with giggles and good humor. VVe wish her as much happiness as she has given us. TERESA BARTHOLOMEW Lovely, dark-eyed Tessie has danced her way into all our hearts. A popular tune will al- ways recall for us her lovely voice and exuberant spirits. May her future be as bright as our memories of her! THOMAS BEADLE f'Bucky was one of the 'fin- dustrious industrial boys. He made everything that happened in the shops a permanent part of his mental equipment. Combine this quality with his attentiveness and perseverance, and what do you have,- success, of course!! ANNE BELCH VVe have reserved a special place in our memories for f'An- nie -a place glowing with all the warmth and sincerity which she has showered upon us. May her future reflect the sunniness of her smile! JOSEPH BELL Nine is the pride and joy of Greenwood Hill. One of our foremost authorities on aviation, he divided his time between school and C. A. P. It is greatly to his credit that he did so well in both. 'k-X420 WAYNE BENJAMIN VVayne has found an outlet for his riotous humor in those car- toons which decorate our halls. He had a serious side, also, which kept him at his studies even when pen and brush beck- oned. VVe hope that future audi- ences give him and his Work the appreciation they deserve. LOIS BENSINGER An extraordinary amount of energy has been packed into tiny Lois. How will we ever get along without her ready laugh and ever-present smile? She has con- tributed to many of the bright spots in our high school years. NORMAN BENSINGER . Life is one big bowling alley for Benny He rolled up those strikes and spares both scholas- tically and socially. VVe've often wondered where he got his en- ergy-and the nerve to drive an orange car! LOIS BENTZ Lois, one of Yorkville's loveli- est, has the personality to match those eyes and that hair. The sunniness of her smile can he beaten only by that of her nature. VVe predict the most successful future possible for her. ROBERT BERGER Bohn is one of the most indus- trious, dependable students in the class. Never at a loss in history or current events, he could al- ways be depended upon to have the facts. His good-natured straightforwardness has made him one of our most valued friends. 2117K-V ROGER BERKHEISER f'Berky is an athlete, first and foremost. He participated in ev- ery sport offered and made an enviable record in all of them. VVe have never seen him without that well-known grin. We hope that he will never lose it. ALICE BOBINIS Her Nihs - as vivacious and sparkling as the cheers she so ably led-has carved her own special niche in our memories. Football games, pep rallies-all have been brightened by her leadership. RUTH BOLTZ Not all of Ruthie's brightness is in those lovely locks! Those of us who have been fortunate enough to be her friends know that her greatest charm lies in her desire to help others and her ability to make that desire come true. EVA BOUND Gaiety personified is our Ev- ie. There is never a scowl to darken those attractive features, nor can anything dampen those ardent spirits. We hope that her future will contain as much fun and excitement as her high school years. ANN VIRGINIA BRACHMAN Her warmth, her persuasive- ness, her sincerity-all have helped to make Angie practi- cally indispensable to us. Gloom vanished before her lovely smiley the joyousness of her laugh soon took its place. Our best to you, Anngin ! G. DONALD B RETZ Donny becomes a hermit ev- ery winter. He eats, drinks, and lives basketball. The results are certainly worth it-his spirit and stamina are outstanding. HDon's special brand of enthusiasm marks him in everything he does. CORRINE BURKE A late, but no less valuable, addition to the class-Corrine has insured for herself a large slice of our affections. VVe regret only that we did not have more opportunity to enjoy her friend- ship. HAROLD BUTTS Until you really know UHal,i' you can't appreciate his special brand of humor. Deceptively quiet in the classroom, he makes up for it after school hours by convulsing his friends with his jokes. We have appreciated and welcomed his friendship. ANNA MAE CAMODECA A giggle, a laugh, an infec- tious smile-who could it be but 'iCamey ? She has touched our lives with the sparkle of her laugh and the gaiety of her spir- it. May all her future have that same brand of happiness! GEORGE CA RAVAN George has a many-sided per- sonality-each side funnier and more humorous than the last. One never knows what to expect from him, but, whatever hap- pens, it's bound to amuse us all. VVe wish him luck and success. PHYLLIS CARL f'Phil will add inches to her stature by her continual striving towards perfection. We who have known and enjoyed her friend- ship are convinced that she hasn't for to go. VVe all wish her a speedy journey! JOSEPH CHIMAHOSKY f'Chim's knowledge of theory and practice have put him far ahead in the industrial course. He had everything required at his fingertips plus that extra something that spells success for anyone, but especially for him. ROBERT CLAPPIER All-American 'lBob is one of our decided assets. Whatever he did, was done well-be it on the football field, in T. K. D., or as a class officer. Never content with half a job, he gave his best and did his utmost in everything. RICHARD CLAUSER Dick will always be able to look back on his high school years with pride. He was a credit to everyone-his teachers, his friends, and his school. His repu- tation as a fine student can be beaten by his reputation as an even finer friend. CAROL CONNELLY Beauty, personality, intelli- gence-name it and Carol has it. Her kindness and sympathy go far beyond the bounds of neces- sity. Words about her are inef- fectualg one must really see and know her to be truly apprecia- tive. 0-X422 JOHN COOGAN Jack's individuality makes him stand out in any crowd. VVell endowed physically and so- cially, he puts that special touch of 'fCoogan personalityu into ev- erything that he does. Our best wishes will be in there for him always. ERMA COOPER Kindness and generosity have always been uppermost in Erma's heart. Few indeed are those who did not realize that with her rests the secret of the perfect friendship. We are proud to have been known as her friends. JAMES COOTE f jim is the Hlivest live-wire of the class. What could we ever have done without his jokes or his good-natured ribbing? He has made us smile when we have felt least like it. VVe hope that he will find a way to put his many talents to good use. MAMIE CUCCIA Beneath that deceptively calm and quiet exterior, Mamie con- ceals a very droll sense of humor. When her natural reserve has been pierced, she will delight you with her ready wit and spontane- ity. May her future match her success here! MYRTLE DAVIS One of our leading contenders for the All-American Girl ti- tle, Myrtle has charmed us all with her naturalness and jollity. There were few who could resist her appeals as a cheerleader. May she meet her future with the same vivacityl ZBDK2 .fy 9' I NORMAN DAVIS Norm's very naturalness was always refreshing. He was never too busy to flash us that famous 'fDavis grin, or to cheer us up with some good-natured teasing. VVe want to add, to all the oth- ers, our hopes for his success. ROBERT DAVIS Full of fun and in love with life, Drafty hails from Schuyl- kill Haven. His friendship is true, his loyalty unshakeable, his judgment sound, as proven by the fact that he chose us. SHIRLEY DAVIS Shirley puts such enthusiasm into everything she does that she makes the rest of us look lazy by comparison. Her smiles and hap- py laugh are shared by all alike. VVe wish her a long and merry life, filled with success and hap- piness. VIRGINIA DAVIS Small, but only in size, 'fGin- ny has contributed more than her share to our memories of school. She gave full measure in everything-be it studies or ex- tra-curricular activities. Our rec- ollections of her are fond and lasting. MARY DEAT RICH YVe shall always remember 'fDixie as bubbling over with health and good spirits, never without a smile or a cheery word for all of us. We have saved many happy memories of her. , -- FRANCES DEMATTEO Frances can always be found hiding behind a big smile. Cares never weigh her downg she keeps the rest of us happy by her ex- ample. We wish her all the hap- piness she so richly deserves. JOHN DENAPOLI If you're trying to find De- Nap, just listen for the jolliest chuckle in the school-you're sure to find him somewhere near. VVe've often wondered if he wor- ries about anything, because we can never remember seeing him depressed or gloomy. Good luck, always, Hack. JOHN DOMBROSKY johnny is all that one could desire in, a friend. He is kind, generous, sincere-but merry and funloving, too. Our high school memories would not have been complete without him. VVe hope that the rest of the world recog- nizes his worthiness. ALVIN DOUGAL f'Al's enjoyment of high school and all its activities was always showing. He went through stud- ies, athletic contests, assemblies, and everything else, with the highest spirits imaginable. YVe hope he will always get as much fun from everything as he did from his friendships here. ROBERT DOUGHERTY Doc's versatility will always be a great asset to him. YVith no apparent effort, he has establish- ed some very enviable records- a model student fmentally and physicallylj, a good athlete, a fine friend and leader. VVe pre- dict a brilliant future for him. BETZY DRY There are plenty of good things in this little package. Perpetual motion we call her. For four years these walls have resounded with her merry laughter. VVe look forward to a long friendship with her. JANET DUNLOP We havenlt seen nearly enough of 'fJan the last few years. Ev- ery time we looked around, she had either moved or changed schools. However, the time she spent with us more than made up for it. JOSEPH DUSEL Joe Indispensable we call him. Mr. Ketner's righthand man, a fine student Cnever misses the honor rollj, a swell friend to everyone, Joe has left more than an impression on us. He'll leave a vacancy that will be im- possible to fill. MICHAEL DZAMKO We shall always be proud to claim f'Mike as one of our class- mates. The remarkable fighting spirit he showed on the gridiron was evident in each thing he did. He has worked wholeheart- edly at everything that caught his interest. Good luck, always! JOAN EAGAN We have given up trying to find someone sweeter than 'floa- nie. Attractive, sincere, unaf- fected-she is as close to perfec- tion as it is possible to be. Our high school days would have been very bleak without her. 0-X424 JOHN EAGAN 'fJohnny has really put Palo Alto on the map. His cool head and warm personality have made him successful in everything he has undertaken. May all his plays be as successful as those he called while playing quarterback. NORMA EBER Norma can always find a way to make the darkest sky blue. There is always an aura of hap- piness about her. It is reflected in her eyes, her smile, and her dress. May she make everyone as happy as she has made us. JEANNE EHLE RS The surplus energy of the class has been stored right here in Archie Never still, she Hits around with a smile or a giggle for everyone. VVe are sure that her future will reflect the joy with which she will meet it. CHARLES ENT 'fCharlie is one of the bigf ?j reasons for the success of the boy's gym team. Unending prac- tices couldn't dampen his enthus- iasm. He was always there cheer- ing on the fellows and keeping them right up on top where they belonged. Good luck, 'tCharlie l DOROTHY ERVIN For three years, in our ignor- ance, we got along without Dot Now it would be impos- sible. Her coming brought laugh- ter, happiness, and an added glow to all of us. VVe wish her the very best of luck. ZSPXJ JOHN EVANS VVe have seldom seen Jack serious or gloomy. Is it because he is always so happy or is he just trying to show off that toothpaste smile ? A joke and grin from him is as bright as sun- shine after rain, and has much the same effect on us. GUY FESSLER HNed has so many interests and works so hard at all of them that he doesn't have a minute to stop or get tired. Basketball, Cur- rent Events and Camera Clubs- he's a vital cog in each of them. KARLEEN FLAIL The sparkle of Karleen's per- sonality is exceeded only by that of her eyes. Lovely and under- standing-she has lavished upon us all the sympathy and warmth of her never-failing generosity. We are proud to present her to the waiting world. JOHN FLANIGAN The class of '47 can boast of many outstanding personalities, but, to us, Hack is someone rather special. We have never known anyone who could partic- ipate in so many things and do them all so well. VVe won't have to wish him success, for he is well on his way. ' M. PATRICIA FLEMING VVho can match her exquisite features, her lovely coloring, her individuality? VVho can describe the gaiety of her smile or the well of humor in her laugh? We offer 'lPatt as our contribution to the world of beauty. JOAN FOLEY Tall-striking-'fjoanieu occu- pies a very special spot in our memories. We have reserved for her 11 corner filled with subtle wit and furnished with an air of quiet elegance. VVe have fond recollections of our 'fjoanieu and high hopes for her future. EDWARD FOX It's a shame that all classes can't have a f'Feddy Ox. Al- ways witty, with a clever come- back for every wisecrack, Ed was at the bottom of all the fun and merriment in the class. We sometimes suspect we have a fu- ture Bob Hope on our hands! DAVID FREED To those who were not well acquainted with him, f'Bucket may have seemed rather quiet and reserved. VVe knew differ- ently, however. We found him always good-natured and ready to make or take a joke. We hope he will always stay the same. YALE FREEDLINE Yale has the makings of some- thing big. We haven't decided whether he'll be a politician or a well-known camerman. Here in school he showed equal talent for each of them. Whatever he decides, however, we're sure he'll be successful. ELMER FREEZE Elmer's outstanding quality is his loyalty-to his friends, his teachers, and his school. He has demonstrated his willingness to work by supporting every proj- ect that the class undertook. lNIay he never lose any of his energy or enthusiasm. JOHN GALL We haven't decided whether Hack is immune to women or whether we're just misinformed. He seems to be a man's man in every sense of the word. Anyone with his vitality and personality is sure to go far in life. JUNE GILBERT Petite, quietly humorous, very good-natured-June will stop at nothing to prove her friendship. Time and again she has shown her willingness to help us all. Unobtrusively, she helped steer our class to success. JANICE GILLINGER Friendship with Janice is last- ing and memorable. We have en- joyed every minute of acquaint- ance with her. Not so reserved as one might think, she has given us many happy, lighthearted mo- ments. GEORGE GLASER HGlick is tall, dark, and in- terested in every kind of sport. He burned up the hardwood of the boys' gym, and really made the water of the East Side pool churn. He worked hard in every- thing, and his support of class projects was greatly appreciated. VINCENT GOODMAN 'fVince's enthusiasm far out- runs his size. He could accom- plish more, in half the time, than fellows twice his size. Ready and willing to laugh at anything, he kept his friends in a constant up- roar. We wish him the best of luck. -X426 DAVID GRAYBEAL Rather quiet and reflective, Dave is one of the industrious and hardworking fellows who helped to keep our course steady. He could always be depended upon to help in any way possible. We shall miss his stabilizing in- Huence. MARILYN GREENBERG 'iLynn,', up-to-the-minute, both in clothes and conversation, has been one of our model students. Stunning, intelligent, friendly, she showed in many little ways, how great was her enjoyment of any and all things connected with school and the scholars. RICHARD GRICKIS 'tDick is familiar to everyone as Mr. Lengel's assembly stooge. Good-humored, unmindful of the ribbing, he enjoyed the joke as much as anyone. He was well known on the HY boxing team, and has that typical sense of sportsmanship. WALTER GROSSMAN Wally proved time and again that true success is the result of hard Work. Steady and depend- able, he was always there, ready to help whenever he was needed. We hope that his future employ- ers will recognize his true vaiue. ROSE MARIE HAAS Quiet, apparently nonchalant and unassuming, 'tRose has sur- prised many of us with her boundless enthusiasm and ambi- tion. With unnoticeable effort, she has kept many a class period going. She has surely earned the success that is coming to her. 27i7K-f' GEORGE HARDIK George believed in taking life easy, but only if and when there was nothing better to do. He us- ually had a radio of some shape or form to work on, so those leisurely moments were rather few. VVe wish him all the luck he deserves. HAROLD HASENAUER VVe have yet to find anyone more completely likable than Hap, Proof of his popularity is that he is president of three clubs, treasurer of another, and a member of countless other organ- izations. Modest, unassuming, a very good student, and an even better friend, he is the type that it is impossible to dislike. RICHARD HASLER Dick was a big leaguer in everything. He did Well in ev- erything because he didn't know the meaning of 'thalfwayf' Dur- ing his two years here, he has made countless friends-all be- cause he himself is a true friend. Good luck, Dick ! CHARLES HEFFNER 'tChow, the big-hearted, good- natured, glamor boy of the class, has established himself very sol- idly here. Football just wouldn't be the same without him. VVe know that he will leave as great an impression on the outside world as he has here in school. JOSEPH HERCHAK Herch is the proud possessor of a very friendly and good-na- tured personality. That deep laugh is the envy of the rest of us gigglers. Always carefree, never worried, Herch is sure to make a successful place for himself in the world. HAROLD HOAK Huck was often called the strong, silent member of P. H.S.'s backfield. That would apply to him in other fields as well. He certainly proves that t'Actions speak louder than words. We hope that he'll establish the same type record in life that he did on the gridiron. DAWN HOFFMAN Thoroughly delightful in ev- ery way, Dawn has been one of the most faithful Workers in the class. Never too busy or too tired to help, she has made her pres- ence felt everywhere. VVe owe her more than we can ever repay. GEORGE HOLOBETZ Hide is one of the more seri- ous workers in the auto shop. He was familiar with every piece of the equipment. Knowedge is powerf' they say, so George should be quite successful in a career of mechanics. Knowing him, however, we feel that he'll be successful in whichever field he chooses. BETTY LOU HOPSTETTER Dainty, darling, delightful- how can we better describe our little l'Skipl'? Classes were more fun when she was in them. Teachers and pupils alike were glad of her presence. We dread to think of the future without her. CHESTER HOWELLS t'Chet always got things done in a rush of excitement and ac- tivity. It was impossible for things to be quiet or restrained in his presence. There was al- ways a laugh or joke lurking behind his remarks. VVe wish him the best of luck in whatever occupation he chooses. PATRICIA HUGHES In a class that can boast of many leaders, 'tPat's name is among the first. A born organ- izer, she is responsible for the success of many of our ventures. All this goodness was made even more likable by her delightful absentmindedness. ALLAN HUMMEL Al really knows all the ins and outs of photography. In fact, he's an authority on any subject which happens to catch his interest. That means that he is one of the best-informed peo- ple in the class. VVe wish him the best of luck.

Per- haps this is where she got the sense of fair play and sports- manship which is so outstanding.

BEIPKJ THEODORE RAKIEWICZ 'fRockie, a skilled driver and mechanic, a good conversational- ist, courteous to the core, would make a perfect chauffeur.

JESSIE RATIGAN Soft-spoken, easy, and effort- less, Jessie is able to accomplish any task with a minimum of effort and a maximum of result. Reticent, but very competent, she is sincerely reliable and reliably sincere.

LOUISE ROSE Always running for buses that leave in two minutes or classes that began ten minutes before, I,oul' manages, by her person- ality and attractiveness, to talk her way into or out of any situ- ation.

CORNELIUS RYAN During our sophomore year, there was a sudden increase in baseball interest and popularity here. HNeil's arrival here was like a breath of air from Ebbet's Field. He expends most of his enthusiasm on baseball, but that doesn't keep him from being ac- tive in other fields as well. Q-ffl36 EDWARD RYAN Enthusiasm for baseball seems to run riot among the Ryans. Rusty has caught the fever, too. However, in his case, it also runs to sports in general. He has great athletic potentialities. VVe hope that they are realized, along with all his other ambitions. JOHN SABOL ,Iohnny's eyes are always turned toward the sky. It is rath- er difhcult for him to pin his thoughts down to earthly things when his mind is always up there in the clouds. VVith aspira- tions as high as yours, john, you can't fail to succeed. ARLENE SANDHERR Perhaps fairies waved their wands over those lovely eyes and ivory V complexion, or perhaps some ,elf gave her that air of naturalness and naivete. What- ever the cause, to us she will al- ways remain the girl from a story book. ELIZABETH FRANCIS Delightfully naive, honesty is her foremost virtue. Her gener- ous spirit is extended to every- one, whether she is a life-long friend or a chance acquaintance. Elizabeth is one of the nicest girls we know.

We have never seen her ill-humored or out of sorts. We shall miss all the sunshine she spread so cheer- fully. JOSEPHINE SCHEIBELHUT Babe runs the scale from vivacity to calm serenity.

He is his own greatest argument. Quiet, seemingly in- different, he is surprisingly well informed on all subjects. We hope that this farm of his turns out to be very successful. WILLIAM SCHUETTLER f'Will is everyone's friend. Deservedly popular, witty, far from unattractive, he has put an additional sparkle in the class.

WALTER SCHUMACHER f'VVally beats the wickedest drum and snaps the snappiest pic- ture in these parts. He also has a smile and a personality that make the weaker sex do some very strange things.

His diligence and intelligence should be highly commended, but don't, by any means, overlook that sense of humor. DOLORES SMITH Pert, proud, and peppy, this pensive mademoiselle has a spirit equalled only by her jovial na- ture. Always ready for a good time and always ready to con- tribute something towards it, f'Smitty really put the Z in zest. GEORGE SMITH USmitty believes that every- thing comes to him who waits. His very evident enjoyment of the leisurely side of life has made us all envious. VVe're all trying to find him a job as a tester in a mattress factory. VVe wish him success in Whatever he chooses to do. SARA W. SMITH Sara is an athlete and carries the air of the basketball court in- to everything she does. As loosely put together as an ocean breeze, Sara will flounce through life. Q-Miss VINCENT SMITH Smitty,' reminds all the girls of Guy Madison, and, incident- ally, has about the same effect on them. His laugh and smiles are as bright as that curly hair. After Vince graduates, there will be a new crop of travelling salesman jokes.

To him there goes an orchid for being just himself- one awfully swell guy, x DONALD SNYDER Butch believes in noise and action. Never completely quiet, he always had some big deal which kept him moving. His en- ergy and aggressiveness accom- plished more for him than for fellows much larger. VVe hope that much of life's success is di- rected his way. GEORGE SOELLNER George has really hitched his wagon to a star. Ile has fastened all his hopes and aspirations on being a big league baseball play- er. Remembering how he at- tacked, and defeated, seemingly impossible problems in the past, we feel safe in predicting that he'll get whatever he wants. 1 JOSEPH SPENSER Ioe'sl' quietness was very de- ceiving. Little did we realize what a hum of activity was go- ing on behind that ready smile. His faculty of keeping his thoughts to himself should be a big asset in his law career. Good luck, Joe ! 39l7K-' FRANCES STAPLETON Pensive, demure, and a little shy, Frances has added an extra glow to our glorious four years. VVe shall remember her most for being just herself, a rosebud in an old-fashioned bouquet. NATHANIEL STERNER The lGnat has kept us all guessing. VVhat was he thinking about behind that bland smile?

VVe know, if dependability and perseverance count for anything, his future success will be unlim- ited.

RUSSELL SUENDER 'fSkip is surely carrying on the traditions of the good-look- ing Suendersf' His four years here have been crammed with fun, popularity, and success in whatever he has undertaken. His success here is really only a pre- diction of what is to come. KATHRYN SUPE R High head, light heart, a cos- mopolitan who deigned to grace the halls of Pottsville High for just one year, a way with people, enviable poise-who could this be but 'fKay ?

VVe shall miss her verve and sparkle. ROBERT TERRY 'lBob's work in the vocational department was outstanding. Ile seems to be stocking up learning against the time when he has his own garage. We hope that his friendships in the future will prove as permanent and impres- sive as those he made here. LOIS THOMAS The instigator of everything new and different, this Miss is far more forceful than her petite size would indicate. With the strength of her convictions and her loyalty to her friends, Lois is the executive.

Conse- quently, his success as an auto mechanic seems to be assured. VVe wish him the very best of luck. EDWIN THORMAN Ed has shown his capacity for hard work and painstaking detail by occupying the position of band librarian for three years. He has done particularly good work in the field of current his- tory, but he says that his future work lies in optometry. VVe feel sure he'll succeed in whatever he does. ANTHONY TRANQUILLO UTony will some day be the coach of a famous football team. He has an almost unbelievable capacity for hard work, and that, coupled with an instinctive sense of right and wrong, should send him up the ladder of success in a hurry. AUGUST TRANQUILLO 'fGusl' believes that silence be- longs on the gold standard. He thinks also that things should be done, not talked about. This quality should guarantee his suc- cess in the future, but we'd like to go on record as wishing him the best of luck.

Perhaps his apti- tude for tumbling will lead him on and on-who knows, even to the Olympics! VVe'll back him all the way. FAY WINTER A wizard in shorthand, Fay still had difficulty in keeping up with the fund of ideas in her agile mind. All this intelligence is tempered by a refreshing sense of humor and a lilting laugh. ANNA JANE WOLL Dark, lithe, and proudly efii- cient, a journalist with the gift of manipulating words until they become living ideas, a sense of justice, harmonious dealings with others, pad and pencil, imagina- tion-com-bine all these, and you have Hjanief' FRANKLIN WOMER Heaven knows what we'd ever do without Frankie, He's al- ways there with his ready laugh and smile, where we need cheer- ing up. Through the years we have come to depend on his kind- ness and sincerity. We'll certain- ly miss him! NELSON WOMER 'lNels was one of our greatest sports enthusiasts. If he didn't participate himself, he was al- ways there on the sidelines, cheering the others on. It was spirits like this that made our pep rallies so much fun, and that spurred our teams on to victory. JACQUELINE WONDERS When there is mischief afoot or new jokes to be exchanged, you can always find 'fjackieu right in the middle of these Machiavellian arts. Angelic or not, we certainly find her much to our liking. GERALDINE ZACKO f'Gerry is a very engaging mixture of generosity, sincerity, and frankness. Her motto might well be, Leave it to the godsg I'm only human! Her ideas are stimulating, her vigor amazing, her charm irresistible. s!il42 ERNEST ZAMBO 'fErnie is proof that 'good things come in small packages. We've never been able to find out where he stores all that ener- gy. Never still for a moment, he goes from one activity to another with no stops in between. NORMAN ZEIDERS Trigger is one of the friend- liest persons in the school. He gets along well with everyone. Always willing to go along with Z1 joke, he has become the prank- ster's delight. VVe wish him the best of luck in everything he does. ANNA ZELINSKY -Making up in efliciency what she lacks in size, Anna has been the willing worker of the class. As busy as the proverbial beaver, nevertheless, she can always find time to be her sweet and charm- ing self. 4317K-1 J. WILLIAM ZELINSKY Bill is happy while he's dancing, happier in assembly, happiest at lunch. He is always so good- natured and cheerful that it is positively impossible for the rest of us to feel downhearted when he's around. VVe wish him all the luck that he is entitled to. ELAINE ZIMMERMAN An energetic little Hreball, Elaine has given much and de- manded little from the class of 1947. To you, Elaine, we offer all the good that the world has to offer. CHARLES BECK Chas is THE man from the Hill. The most easy-going per- son of the class, he doesn't seem to be bothered by anyone or any- thing.

This year being the twenty-first birthday of the council, with the cooperation of Mr. Lengel, faculty and students, the council has marked another year of success. One of the outstanding feats of the year was the Penny-A-VVeek drive to which the students gave so generously that it was possible to collect 3265.4-l. XVith this money presents were bought for the needy children at Christmas time. A new goal was reached this year. An office messenger group was begun. Each period, one person from the council was stationed in the office to run errands. Buses were chartered for away football games. The game rooms were reopened again this year and new games were supplied. A delegate from our council distin- guished herself in a convention at Hershey. The outstanding social events of the year were the Homecoming Week for alumni and the All School Dance, enjoyed by all. A Christmas party was held for the chil- dren of the faculty.

Due to the interest created by the club, it became necessary to increase the membership. The objects of the club are to foster interest in photography among the students and faculty, to provide them with an interesting extra-curriculai' activity, to provide a means of keeping a permanent record of school activities, and to help the individual member enhance his knowledge and work in photography. In all extra-curriculum work, the maintenance of the student interest is essential. For that reason, photography may be regarded as an excellent recreation or hobby well worthy of attention. The interest in photography tends to increase with age. It has the advantage of being just difficult enough to challenge effort, yet easy enough to be accomplished with satisfying results.

The senior choirs, which have been directed since 1928 by Earl W. Haviland, have established an outstanding record dating from their participation in the First National Chorus Festival held in Chicago in 1930. Through the period of years from this initial recognition until the nation became engaged in WVorld War H, many additional laurels have been added through contest victories, national festivals, exchange and joint concerts with college choirs, radio broadcasts, and more than forty concerts. These years of growth have been rich in motivation and achieve- ment, with the choirs traveling to leading musical centers of the eastern United States: Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit, Syracuse, Ithaca, Pittsburgh, Harrisburg, Johnstown, Altoona, and Philadelphia. The activities of the choir during the post-war year were highlighted by the appearance of Lansing Hatfield, Metropolitan baritone and star of concert, radio, and theatre, in a joint performance of the Ballad for Americans and Carl Sandburg's f'The Long Shadow of Lincoln, with the Choral Ensemble and the A Cappella Choir, respec- tively. This concert was held on the anniversary of Lincoln's birth. The Seventeenth Annual Christmas Concert, held December 4, 1946, proved to be a fitting sequel to the Sixteenth Annual Concert of 1945, which had as its theme, Welcome Home to the veterans of P.H. S. On that occasion more than sixty war veterans occupied seats in the front of the auditorium as honor guests of the choirs. A year later, many of these same veterans, former members of the A Cappella Choir, their ranks augmented by other returned veterans and more recent graduates, re-organized the Crimson Singers, a unique alumni choir which functioned as a significant carry-over of high school music into adult life. This choir, organized in 1936, was dis- banded after Pearl Harbor, as the male personnel was engaged in urgent tasks throughout the world. The choir was re-organized in October, 1946. ' When the curtain opened to reveal the Crimson Singers, 68 in number, they were given a surprise greeting by 40 members of the A Cappella Choir standing in the pit of the auditorium, who sang Auld Lang Syne, under the direction of Chester Howells '47. The alumni musical signature, Alma Mater, which was directed by Herman Thomas '41, choir president, served as a fitting response. The Crimson Singers sang a group of A Cappella Christ- , ii MR. HAVILAND ROBERT CLAPPIER ROBERT DOHC HERTY ANNA MAY NOLT s l 1 1 0-X476 mas songs. A thrilling finale to the concert was provided by a massed chorus of 236 voices, composed of the Crim- son Singers, A Cappella Choir, and Girls' Choral Club, which sang a modern, six-part arrangement of a ringing old 16th century Chorale, Praise Ye the Lord, the Almighty. The Verse Quartet of poetry readers was heard in an arrangement of James Russell Lowell's classic, The Vision of Sir Launfal, with a musical background of appropriate Christmas carols and songs, especially arranged by their director for this occasion, and hummed and sung by the A Cappella Choir. This choral setting provided a beauti- ful background for the poetic narrative. The Verse Quartet also presented, in choric speech, james VVeldon Johnsons The Creation, a challenging vehicle for young readers. This talented group was led by Ann McCarthy' '+7, whose eloquence and sincerity have contributed to the success of many sacred and historical idea programs during her four years of outstanding service to the choir. The Choral Ensemble, in their choice of the popular modern Cantata, 'Twas the Night Before Christmas, reached the peak of achievement in their performance. This cantata, a favorite with singers and audiences every- where, presented a severe test for the capabilities of chorus and soloists, and it is a tribute to their ability and spirit that they met the test and captivated an appreciative audience by means of their enthusiasm and the high quality of their work, both technical and artistic. Both the Junior Choir and the Girls' Choral Club made significant contributions to an evening of music that will be long remembered by the largest audience ever to witness a concert in the high school auditorium. The overflow audience, some of whom were unable to gain admittance, was invited to hear a repeat performance on the afternoon of December 22nd, at which time the senior choirs and the Crimson Singers broadcast over Station VVPPA. For the second time, the senior choirs accepted the invitation of Dr. Clel T. Silvey to participate in the Tri- County Choral Festival held at the Kutztown State Teachers' College on March 27th. The A Cappella Choir was auditioned in the morning by Dr. Harry R. VVilson, of Columbia University, choral adjudicator, and joined ten other choirs in rehearsing a prepared massed chorus program in the afternoon. A fea- ture of the evening concert, held in the college gymnasium, was the presentation by the Choral Ensemble of two costumed folk dances, sung by the choir and danced by Betty Jane Leuchtner '84, Pat Fleming '47, Joan Felsburg '48, Bob Unger '48, Bob Clappier '47, and Jack Taylor '48. The Nineteenth Annual Music Festival, which was held on the evening of May 7th, climaxed the year's activities. A varied program of a cappella and accompanied songs was presented by the A Cappella Choir, the Choral Ensemble, and the Crimson Singers. Folk songs of Bavaria, Cuba, and America provided melodious themes and attractive rhythms for several colorful folk dances, which were composed and directed by Miss Hannah Chadwick, high school instructor in girls' physical education. A large and approving audience showed appreciation of the choristers and their work by their attentive listening and their enthusiastic response. The massed choirs, inaugurated at Christmas time, again provided a thrilling finale for the concert through their choice of the stirring Waring arrangement of the Battle Hymn of the Republic. The Girls' Choral Club, the Junior Choir, and the Chorus of the Patterson Division have steadily improved in vocal skill and musical understanding during the year. The two Junior Choirs were combined for the first time to form a massed choir of 250 voices, which opened the Festival program, and they left nothing to be desired in rich- ness of harmony, beauty of tone, and enthusiastic choral interpretation. The members of the A Cappella Choir made their final appearance of the year when they sang at the Baccalau- reate Service held in the Veterans' Memorial Stadium on the evening of June Sth. The conscientious and vital student leadership provided by the officers of the Associated Choirs has done much to add to the success of the choir season, and they, together with the 400 members of the Associated Choirs, deserve a cordial VVell done! for the courage and fidelity with which they have carried through the work of a full and Challenging choral year. -ANNA JANE WOLL, Hislurian. Q-foil 78 P. H. S. BAND - 1946 - 1947 The 1946-194-7 Band, because of the shortage of instruments during the war and thereafter, still did not reach its pre-war enrollment. However, the quality of its playing and its performance of drills remained superior. VVith the return of Mr. Ray Runkle from the service, Mr. Minnichbach received much-needed assistance in drilling the band for football games. Mr. Runkle's help was greatly appreciated by both the band and its director Five of the six majorettes were graduated from school, which necessitated the training of new ones during the summer months. However, this year, seven majorettes- Karleen Flail, Catherine Otterbein, Janet Dietrich, Nancy Hale, Theresa Pogera, Jean Schaeffer, and Eileen Murphy- lent their grace and beauty to the band. Two color guards were also graduated. The two new color guards are Linus Bortzel and Joseph Puddu. This year, as is customary, the band played for all the home and away football games. YVith many new and spectacular drills, it made an outstanding impression on its audiences and received much favorable Commendation from the press, both in this city and those visited, The musical progress of the band was emphasized when nine members were selected to play in the Pennsylvania School Music Association Eastern-District Band, which met at Palmerton on January 23, 24, 25. First place win- x S i a MR. LEO F. MINNICHBACH Director of Instrumental Music 79 ners were Mildred Lawrence, a senior, on flute, james Coote, a senior, on cymbals, and john Spotts, sophomore, on Eb alto saxophone. Two members fthe full quota allowed by the school enrollmentj were chosen to participate in the All-State Band at Lebanon, March 13, 14, 15. Mildred Lawrence won first place in the flute section, James Coote, first place for his outstanding work on the cymbals. This is a signal honor for P. ll. S. instrumentalists, since the All-State Band is made up of 225 musicians representing 125 school districts throughout the state of Pennsylvania. The annual Spring Instrumental Concert was given on April 24, with Nlichael Edwards as guest conductor. hir. Edwards, formerly of Pottsville, and former member of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, is now arranger for the Mills Music forporation and hpis, on several occasions, been guest conductor for the Goldman Band in New York. The program included the Patterson Division Band, the High School Or- chestra, the High School Band, as well as individual soloists and small ensembles. All gave highly creditable performances, and Mr. Edwards paid great tribute to these young musicians and their director. Some of the music played at this concert by our high school band and orchestra were the same selec- tions presented by the P. S. M. A, State Band and Orchestra, which attests to the ability of our organizations. The band also played for assembly concerts and civic af- fairs, it closed a very successful season by playing for the annual Commencement exercises. ,y ,, . . :fi 15.

Orchestra enjoyed a very successful season, despite the lack of string players. This dearth of stu- dents interested in string instruments has become a national condition, since high school bands throughout the country have aroused so much interest by their participation in football and basketball games. Nine of its members were selected to plav in the Pennsylvania School Music Association Eastern'District Or- chestra, which met at Shillington on April 1-1, 12. Mildred Lawrence, on flute, and James Coote, on cymbals, were again first place winners in the District Orchestra, as well as in the All-State Orchestra at Altoona on May 15, 16, 17. This was a total of four first places for each. The orchestra participated in the annual Spring Instrumental Concert held Ap who was highly pleased with the artistic manner in which they played. This was very gratifying ril 24, with Michael Edwards as guest conductor, to their director, Mr. Minnichhach. The orchestra played for assembly concerts and community activitiesg it also provided the music for the annual Class Day exercises. The many honors accorded these young musicians has made P. H. S. justly proud of its Instru- mental Music Department. 'L-X480 Mvppwfl WILLIANI BRESLIN CHESTER ROGOVVICZ Athletic Director Athletic Co-Ordinator NIR NIR RTR IWR MR MR. MR MR MR.

CLAIR 0 On Friday, September 13th, Pottsville High opened its greatest season hy defeating nearby St. Clair, 33-0, before a Crowd of 7,271. After running the last three yards of a 25-yard advance, Corky johns registered the first score of the season. Aug- ustine intercepted a pass to begin a 55-yard march for the next touchdown. VVard, taking a short, fast pass from Unger, made the score. Sidler made the third tally on a four-yard plunge. lloak scored next from the 17-yard line. Augustine then streaked through center for the last five yards of a 37-yard advance. Unger kicked three out of five extra points. The whole line played excellently, however, Co-captains YVard and llzamko were outstanding. POTTSVILLE 57 SCHUYLKILL HAVEN 0 Pottsville High ran up a 57-0 score against the Havenites. Every P. II. S. boy in uniform was in the game. Hoak scored the first touchdown of the game on a 35-yard jaunt and the fifth from the five-yard line. Bob Clappier also made two, one on a slant of 16 yards and the other on a pass from Eagan which covered 20 yards. Vnger next passed to Rosenkrautz who ran 35 yards for the next touchdown. Fnger then got off one of the long runs of the season, 21 72-yard race with an intercepted pass. Koegle intercepted a lateral and ran 33 yards for the next score. Jack Brennan, on a 29- 'ard run scored arain' and was soon followed by VVarren Thornhurf who rolled u the last touchdown on a 3 v ls y . Lv 16-yard run. The Pottsville reserves showed much promise. Clresswell played well for a losing cause. POTTSVILLE 13 LANSFORIJ 7 ln the closing minutes of an exciting game, Pottsville nosed out Lansford before a Crowd of 11,01-1-. Although the score was low, Pottsville yardage gains were more than twice those of 1.ansford. ln the first quarter, VVard got into the open on a pass from Eagan for a 52-yard gain, however, he slipped and was 85l7XJ l brought down from behind. The play in this quarter was almost entirely in Lansford territory. In the second quarter, Lansford dominated. It was at this time that Marouschouc scored. Then, in the third quarter, came the 92-yard march to tie the score. Clappier gained 37 yards on two plays, and Unger ran 19 yards to score. With only minutes remaining, the score tied, and Lansford on its own 26-yard line, little Max Rizzardi broke through the line to block a kick and to fall on it for the winning touchdown. Snescak and Sabol were outstanding on the Lansford line, and Marouschouc played exceptionally well in the backfield. POTTSVILLE 0 SUNBURY 0 Although it could not break the jinx of never winning at Sunbury, this year Pottsville at least did not lose. During the first quarter, Sunbury monopolized the ball. Boyle, a converted end, ran well. In the second quarter, due to Hoak's punting, Pottsville had a slight advantage. A well-executed reverse on the kick-off, Augustine to Clappier, very nearly sent the latter away. He advanced from his ten to Sunbury's 45 before going out of bounds. A long pass from Unger to Reed picked up 24 yarrds. Then Boyle inter- cepted a Pottsville pass to end the 72-yard drive. From their 20-yard stripe, Sunbury marched to the Pottsville 11. Here a goal-line stand by the Bulldogs stopped any advance. Pottsville dominated the play during the final period. Fumbles ruined Pottsville's driving power and cost her a victory. Boyle played well for Sunbury, while Reed, VVard, and Sourber shone for Pottsville. POTTSVILLE 39 SHAMOKIN 2 The Crimson Tide Hooded Shamokin, 39-2, here at the Veterans' Memorial Stadium. Pottsville's drive started early on a blocked kick by VVard, who also fell on the ball to score. Harold Hoak led the scoring parade with two touchdowns, one on a 15-yard line plunge and the other covering 17 yards on a pass from Bobby Unger. Johns broke away for the longest run of the game, a 52-yard scamper. A 45-yard touchdown run, with fine interference, was made by Clappier. Jack Brennan scored the final touchdown on a nice 27-yard ramp. An inaccu- rate snap-back from the center on the five-yard line caused the safety. The line play of this game was excellent. Holes were opened whenever they were needed. Once again, Coach Kotys used every boy in uniform. POTTSVILLE 14 EASTON 0 Pottsville made history at Easton this year. Not only did our Bulldogs topple Easton from the unbeaten class and keep their own record at five victories and no defeats, but they also registered their first victory over Easton. Unger made the first daylight Pottsville score on a quarterback sneak from the one, climaxing a 54-yard march. Reed scored also on a five-yard end-around play. This touchdown drive was sparked by Augustine's 21-yard plunge. In the second half, Augustine stopped Easton's only scoring threat by intercepting a pass. The whole line, vastly outweighed, but far from outfought, played a great game. Augustine played the finest game of his career. Braun and Piperato were outstanding for Easton. POTTSVILLE 28 MT. CARMEL 0 Pottsville completely outclassed a highly regarded Mt. Carmel team by the score of,28-0. Mt. Carmel's Silver Bowl had a record crowd of more than 7,000. The scoring began in the second period with a 19-yard run by Clappier which culminated a 67-yard drive. f'B0b Unger Hipped a 40-yard pass to Harold Hoak which, with a 55-yard run, rolled up another score. In the third period, -ffi86 Q the Crimson juggernaut marehed 53 yards for its third touchdown, Vnger going over from the one. Clappier set up the score with a 39-yard sideline run. Johnny Eagan crashed over from the one, ending a 33-yard run. l'nger made four of four and nine consecutive conversions. The deception of hoth the Pottsville quarterhacks was some- thing for hit. Carmel fans to remmher. The line w as remarkable, proof of this is that only seven points have heen scored against it so far in the season. POTTSVILLE 14 LEBANON 7 The Fighting Bulldogs won their seventh game at the expense of an excellent l.ehanon team. During the first period Pottsville, largely hecause of 1Ioak's punting, had the advantage. In the second quarter, Leba- non drew the first hlood on a 70-yard touchdown drive run by Mishi Nlarinkov. After the kickoff, Pottsville marched 62 yards on six plays for its first score. Clappier, aiding the cause with a 20-yard and a 17-yard run, scuredg not long after- ward the Crimson Tide staged a 50fyard march, with Hoak taking a pass from linger for the winning tally. The liI1C featured VVeiss and lletlner. Their goal-line stand will long he rememhered hy loyal fans. POTTSVILLE 33 TAMAQUA 0 The Crimson Vllave rode over a fighting Tamaqua team hy a score of 33-0. l'B0h Clappier Crossed the goal line from the two, completing a drive started when Nlax Rizzardi blocked a punt and John VVeiss recovered it. The Bulldogs marched 60 yards for the seeond touchdown. Augustine scored from the four. Leo 87 POTTSVILLE HIGH SCHOOL, PATTERSON DIVISION, FOOTBALL SQUAD VVard scored next on a 15-yard gallop, started by a 20-yard pass from Eagan. On the kickoff, Augustine made the longest run of the game, a 35-yard sprint, and began another touchdown drive, which featured a 22-yard end sweep by Rosen- krantz. Stanley then scored from the one. After this, Unger missed the conversion, thus breaking his record of 13 consec- utive conversions. Again the last touchdown, from the two-yard line, was made by Brennan. It would be impossible to cite anyone for special praise. Every boy played his best. POTTSVILLE 34 HAZLETON 0 This is the first time that Pottsville has ever beaten Hazleton in the Veterans' Memorial Stadium. It was a decisive job, with a 3+-0 score. The Crimson Tide was bothered by fumbles at the beginning, however, early in the game, Unger climaxed a 36-yard drive by plunging over from the half-yard line. In the latter part of the third period, Ward took a short pass from Unger to score and complete a march of 64 yards. Aided by Ifnger's 47-yard runback, the Crimson YVave scored again when Reed made a 15-yard end-around play. The next drive covered 55 yards on two plays-a lateral from Thornburg to Ward, and a 32-yard run by Rosenkrantz, the neatest play of the game. Hazleton was then caught behind its own goal line for a safety. Leo VVard played an excellent game, running well and snaring every pass thrown his way. The line played well, allowing Hazleton to gain only 39 yards. POTTSVILLE 45 READING 7 Pottsville trounced a game Reading squad to conclude the most brilliant season in the school's history. On P. H. S.'s first play from scrimmage, Unger tossed a pass to Hoak, who covered 47 yards for a touchdown. Then, climaxing a 55-yard march, Clappier scored from the one. Ifnger made the next score, again from the one-yard line. Hoak had a run of 22 yards and then one of 30 yards for another score. On a later play, he ran 97 yards, but a last- minute Reading tackle deprived him of the actual scoring. A few moments later, Koegle rolled up the six points. Later in the game, Sourber intercepted Z1 pass and displayed some beautiful broken-field running as he raced 37 yards for another tally. Reading then scored its only touchdown. Houck, the fullback, made the tally after a drive of 45 yards. Unger made a 34-yard return of the next kick-off. He then passed to Ward, who ran 58 yards to the Reading three-yard stripe. Unger made the score. The seniors who played their last brilliant game for Pottsville were Leo VVard, Dick Clauser, Mike Dzamko, Charles Heffner, John VVeiss, Carl Schilbe, Charles Rauch, Max Rizzardi, Jack Eagan, Bob Clappier, Harold Hoak, Stanley Ros- enkrantz, and Bob Davis. Because of a shoulder separation, Bob Dougherty was unable to play. swiss 89l?XJ BASKETBALL Pottsville's nearly rags-to-riches basketball squad came close to tying for first place in the lfast Penn League. Coach Deitch worked hard with his squad, and they showed great improvement as the season progressed. Pottsville High's eagers showed their potential strength by first downing the strong St. Clair team and then the fighting Gilberton squad. This was followed by two losses to two good teams, Tamaqua and Lebanon. After defeating the Alumni and losing to Lancaster, Pottsyille was victorious in its first league struggle, the lfaston game. YVC- then dropped eight games in a row-to VVilliamport at home, Hazleton. Allentown. Tamaqua. Bethlehem, Reading, YVilliamsport away. and Allentown Cath- olic. Once more we entered the win column by defeating Shamokin. St. Clair, on its own floor, proved too much for P. H. S. One of our outstanding games was our -ll to 24 victory over Hazleton. Wye then alternated victories by again defeating lfaston. losing to Allentown. winning from Lebanon. and losing our final game to Bethlehem. The senior members of our varsity team were: Dick Hasler, Donald Hretz, Har- old Hasenauer. and -lack Flanigan. Other members were: Wvalter Reed. Bob Fey, Bob Lvnger. Alike llahall, and Leonard Joyce. 'L-YYIQO VARSITY Pottsville ...... 44 St. Clair . .. Pottsville ...... 38 Gilberton . . Pottsville ...... 30 Tamaqua . . . Pottsville ...... 25 Lebanon . ..

ROBERT SNIDER On Thursday, March l3, 1947, Hxlanuary Thavvu was presented to a Pottsville audience. The play, enthusiastically received, relates the trials and tribulations of the sophisticated Gages and the many complications caused by the Rockwoods, a staunch Old New England family. The Gages, forced to leave New York because of the housing shortage, move to Connecticut and rejuvenate an old farm-house. Then the Rockwoods, the former owners, return. After perusal of the contract, it is found that the Rockwoods have as much right to live in the house as the Gages. And, of course, they take advantage of their prerogative. The Gages' disgust and discomfort is intensified by a blizzard, starvation, and a near-elopement. But, finally, all problems are solved and, as story-book characters always do, Hthey live happily ever afterf' Miss Blanche Curran aptly directed the play and the close cooperation of commit- tees contributed greatly to its overwhelming success.
