BU DAHN We, the members of the Senior Class of 1947-48, respectfully dedicate this Annual to MR. LOUIS A. BU DAI-IN, Superintendent of Schools in Pottsville, Pennsylvania, from 1928 to 1948. L. A. BUDAHN A Tribute Coming together is a beginning, Keeping together is progress, Working together is success. The retirement of L. A. BuDahn in june will be merely a laying aside of the many arduous and routine duties of his office. His great interest in us as individuals, and in this school system, which he has so ably served, will con- tinue to warm and inspire us as we strive toward goals that are always just enough beyond our reach to keep us professionally alert. Mr, BuDahn is an idealist, but with his idealism he has a realist's point of view. Between the high goals which he has set and the existing situations he has woven a work- able pattern. To Mr. BuDahn, teaching is not just seating a pupil at his desk, putting a book into his hand, and hearing the recitation. Teaching is the giving of the teacher's inner self to the task: counseling the shy little mite, helping youth baffled by circumstances, dreaming with the talented, bolstering the self-esteem of the down-and-out, trying to reach the mentally slow, polishing the manners of the crude, and bringing delinquents into an understanding of their true worth. Teaching is a dedication to youth and to the progress of civilization through the patient and inspired development of the best in every child. He believes thoroughly that working together is progress and is particularly cognizant that any real success is the direct result of individuals interested in improvement. Durin Mr. BuDahn's tenure as superintendent, the School District of the City of Tottsville has expanded its facilities and services in many ways. A new high school and stadium were erected, Art was added to the program of studies: additional library facilities were made available: an adequate health program was developed: the vocational curriculum was augmented by the inclusion of courses in auto mechanics and electricityg and the intramural ath- letic program was inaugurated. ' The seventh and eighth grades were departmentalized and housed in the Patterson Building. Later, a six-year junior-senior high school was estab- lished. A school psychologist, a home-and-school coordinator, a full-time nurse at the high school, a full-time band and orchestra teacher, an 4 -1 special school teacher were added to the staff. ln several of the buildings, additional physical facilities were made avail- able, and the Peacock Street Vocational Shops were acquired from the Federal Government. To facilitate his administration, Mr. BuDahn supplied the teachers with handbooks each year and established an educational cabinet composed of directors, principals, and supervisors. ln 1937-38, a survey of the entire school system was undertaken. Mr. BuDahn's great interest in opportunities for the youth of Pottsville is shown by the inspiration and the aid he has given in the established and suc- cessful functioning of the Lincoln House, the Penn State Center, the junior traffic patrols, the Veterans' Training School, and related training night school. In these past eighteen years, Mr. BuDal-in has done much for Pottsville, and he leaves his laurels forever fresh and green on the altar of public school education. I MR BOARD OF EDUCATION MR.

Miss Critz This year marked the twenty-second year for the Student Council of Pottsville High School. Two additional concession stands were erected in the stadium, through the kindness of the Board of Education. The stands were operated at the high school and pro football games by Council and T. K. D. members. The Council decorated the cafeteria for the annual football banquet, the theme being The Hall of Warriors. The class, school, and national flags were used to carry out this theme. Buses were chartered for the out-of-town football games. The generosity of the student body enabled the Penny-A-Week Drive to be the most successful in the history of the school, again bringing joy to many needy families. Delegates from our Council attended the State Convention of Student Coun- cils held at Bradford and also a county meeting of Student Councils at St. Clair. Plans were made to have representatives at the national conference of Student Councils in Washington, D. C., at the end of Iune. The Council sponsored a student drive for money contributions to the United States Friendship Train for Europe. Over S100 was contributed by our student body. The annual March of Dimes house-to-house canvassing was under the supervision of the Council this year. The boys in the Council served as ward captains for the volunteer students. This year's collection topped all previous records for the city of Pottsville, 551,500 being received. The customary social affairs of the Council included the Color Ceremony, the supper for new faculty members, the Children's Christmas Party, the All- School Dance, and several small parties. No report of Council activities could end without a note of appreciation to Mr. Lengel, the student body, and the faculty, for their cooperation and help in carrying through the work for this year. This year was a very successful one, due to the endless cooperation under the outstanding and superb guidance of the advisor, Miss Dorothy Critz.

The Winter Wonderland dance opened the teen-age Christmas festivi- ties. Furthermore, the organization was Santa Claus to the Children's Home, for the members filled the children's stockings. The Christmas luncheon at the Necho Allen on December 30th was a reunion of alumni with the present members. It is always a gala affair. Phi Gamma Lambda Week finds a group of assemblies planned, a guest artist, a speaker, a play, and the spring formal, April Showers. The proceeds from these dances furnish the money for the two annual scholarships which are given to further a high school girl's edu- cation. The Phi Gamma Lambda's contribution to the life and happiness of the school is evident, and its inspiration to the members themselves supplies a something that is intangible. lts influence is truly for good.

Mr. Robert Fortune On October 10, 1947, the junior and senior members of the Pottsville High School Vocational Auto Shop formed a club, naming it the Future Auto Mechanics. The F. A. M. Club holds the distinction of being the first club organized in the vocational department, The first and third Mondays of each month are set aside for club meetings. The aims of the club are as follows: 1. to create a better understanding among fellow students 2. to further any interest a shop student might have in the arts 3. to develop character and social understanding, initiative, and reliabil- ity in members of the club. The activities of the club included having charge of the concession stands for pro-football games, buying new uniforms, and having a dance in the spring. A very successful year of this new organization closed with a gala party for all. SIXTY THE HI - S - POTTS NEWSPAPER The HI-S-POTTS Newspaper, the oflicial publication of the Pottsville High School, was organized in 1926, with Herrwood Hobbs as its first editor. This year marks the twenty-second year of existence for the paper, with Iohn Ielfries and Shirley Brown, co-editors: Ieanne Iones and Mary Ann Visneski, co-business managers, and Kay Liner, feature editor. These people having been on the staff for an average of two years each, were ably fitted for their positions. Meritable work was also done by Marion Lehman and Ioan Knittle, both seniors, Entered once more in the Columbia Press Association Conference, which is held yearly in New York, HI-S-POTTS was judged as one of the finest school journals, in competition with a thousand other secondary school jour- nals. Mr. Carlton R. Sterner '28, faculty advisor of the paper for the past thirteen years, had at all times in the past year been capable and efficient in overseeing the work done by the newspaper staff.

The first is devoted to business, which is the furnishing of information concerning the alcohol problems to teen-agers for their consideration and decision. Another purpose of the club is to develop a recreational program, including features not offered by other groups. The activities of the Pottsville Post include the initiation of an annual dog show, the opening of a library shelf containing Allied Youth material, the sending of a delegation to the Atlantic City Conference, and a speaker to a meeting of the W. B. A. A. in Wilkes-Barre. Speaking teams of two members each were organized and sent to speak before educational and service clubs, where they received information con- cerning locations for youth centers. A correspondence was carried on with the Washington High School of Minneapolis, Minnesota, to learn of their outstanding Allied Youth program. The social activities include a sleighing party, a football party, a day at Reading with the Reading Post, and a picnic at Schumacher's farm. The organization has gained great recognition in school due to the endless efforts of its advisor, Miss Dorothy K. Critz. SIXTY-TWO THE VARSITY CLUB President ......... ....

The ultimate objective is to have every boy in the school take part in at least one intra-mural activity. Another purpose of the club is to maintain a high scholastic standard. Through the efforts of Mr. Surgent and Mr. Liddle, the grades of each mem- ber are closely scrutinized. Each week football films are shown. This year the Varsity Club saw the following college and professional football films: Villanova vs. San Francisco, World Series of 1947, Cornell vs. Yale, Prince- ton vs. Brown, Villanova vs. Kentucky, San Francisco 49'ers vs. Buffalo, Brooklyn: Penn vs. Columbia, Kentucky vs. Vanderbilt, Navy vs. Notre Dame, Notre Dame vs. Tulane.

These pictures are judged by a committee selected by the club advisor, Miss Isabelle Zerbe. The committee is composed of a professional artist, teachers and graduates who are now studying art. There have been many P. H. S. graduates whose work has been acclaimed by professionals. Pottsville High has always proved itself outstanding in the Held of art. The inter-scholastic competition, however, is keen: and when P. H. S. takes the majority of prizes, we have reason to be proud. A marionette show is given annually by the Sketch Club. Marionettes are made and operated by members of the club. The profits made on the show are sometimes used for an art educational tour in New York or Philadelphia. The club is composed of approximately twenty members. The number is not limited. The other activities of the club include sketching from living models and outdoor sketching.

HAVILAND THE ASSOCIATED CHOIRS OF POTTSVILLE HIGH SCHOOL The Associated Choirs of Pottsville High School, during the school year 1947-1948, combined the interests and abilities of four hundred students. The organization, progressively designed to develop and train choral musicians, gave opportunity to interested and talented students from grade eight to grade twelve for participation in the activities of the following choirs: The Patterson Division Choir of 140 voices, the Iunior Choir of 110, the Girls' Choral Club of 75, and the senior choirs, the A Cappella Choir of 85 voices and the Choral Ensemble of 85. The alumni group, the Crimson Singers, of 50 voices, now in its thirteenth year, participated in all formal school concerts, both as a concert unit and as a part of the festival chorus of more than 200 voices, which climaxed the three formal con- certs of the year. The Twentieth Anniversary Christmas Concert, held on De- cember 10, 1947, was given before an enthusiastic audience, many of whom stood throughout the program. The A Cappella SEVENTY EIGHT Choir of Lebanon High School appeared as guest chorus and joined with the Choral Ensemble and the Crimson Singers for the grand finale. On March 23rd, a return visit to Lebanon was made by the A Cappella Choir and the Crimson Singers, Accompanying them was a group of folk dancers who, under the direction of Miss M. Louise Lupkin, presented a Russian dance. The concert was EE: great success, and was immensely enjoyed by the Pottsville hoirs. The climax of the year's activities came at the Twentieth Anniversary Music Festival held on May Sth. This concert was enhanced by the colorful folk dances and wide variety of music that was presented by the choirs, They received well-deserved ovations from the appreciative audience that overflowed the auditorium. The Senior Choirs sang especially well. This could not have been true but for the training they received when in the Iunior Choirs, which provide not only musical practice, but training in leadership and cooperation as well. The Evaluation Committee that visited the school this year added to the praise that has been previously given to the Choirs by rating the Choral Music Department of Pottsville High School as Extra Superior. SEVENTY-NINE 1- - -f g...f f ' , -1.14.'0. l I - r 4 ', ' pd! . L ln addition to the three formal concerts, the choirs participated in various other school activities. Among these were four assem- bly programs and a concert at the Necho Allen Hotel for a joint Kiwanis-Lions Clubs meeting. A Christmas ice-cream party was held at Mr. Ed Miller's, followed by caroling on the streets. When singing at Dr. Weber's home, the choir was invited inside for apples and soda, and the Salvation Army was again very appreciative of the carols that were sung there. The A Cappella Choir performed well at its final traditional appearance of the year at the Baccalaureate Service at the Veterans' Memorial Stadium in Iune. The Crimson Singers also took part in community activities. among them being participation in the Veterans' Memorial Serv- ice on May 30th, at the Veterans' Memorial Stadium. ln 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. Under the fine directorship of Mr. Earl W. Haviland, the choirs have gone forward in musical quality and in spirit. KAY LINER, ' Historian, EIGHTY ldv. Q P. H. S. BAND -1947- 1948 The Pottsville High School Band, directed by Mr. Leo F. Minnichbach, maintained the high standards set in previous years, both in its playing and its drilling. During the foot- ball season, the band entertained the spectators with their spirited playing, precise marching, and spectacular drilling. A number of new drills were added to their repertoire, including the formation of a ship with real smoke issuing from its funnel, while the band played An- chor's Aweigh in honor of Navy Day: a huge bell, complete with sound effects, during which the band played '1The Bells of St. Mary'sg and on Thanksgiving Day, a church, while the band played The Prayer of Thanksgiving, The latter performance brought a special let- ter of Commendation from the Pottsville Ministerial Association. The post of drum major was assumed by Ianet Deatrich, who did excellent work. The performances of the band were greatly enlivened by the drills of the drum major, Ianet Deatrich, and the majorettes, Catherine Otterbein, Nancy Hale, Theresa Pogera, Iean Schaeffer, Estelle Frankenstein, Dolores Miscavage, Eileen Murphy, and Patricia Schuster. The most noteworthy event of the year for the band members was that in which the Ath- letic Association purchased new uniforms for them, which were displayed in public for the first time at the Reading game on Thanksgiving Day. The band members appreciated this gesture, for their appearance on the field was much enhanced. The musicianship of the band was again recognized when seven of its members, Daniel Letcher, Ronald Downey, Richard Freese, Allen Koppenhaver, Arnold Paparazzo, Iohn Spotts, and Neil Keihm, were chosen to participate in the Pennsylvania Music Educators' Association Eastern District Band, held at Lansford on December 11, 12, 13, Two of these, Arnold Paparazzo and Neil Keihni, won first chairs: and three, Richard 1 Freese, Allen Koppenhaver, and Iohn 1 Spotts earned second chairs in their re- 1 spective sections. The All-State Band events were held at Elwood City, Feb- ruary 11, 12, 13, 14, at which P.l'l.S. was represented by Allen Koppenhav- er, who won signal honor by placing fourth out of fourteen basses. The Annual Spring Instrumental Concert was given on April 22, with Albertus L. Meyers as guest conductor. The program included the Patterson Division Band, the High School Or- chestra, the High School Band, as well as individual soloists and small ensem- bles. All gave praiseworthy perform- ances. Mr. Meyers was very enthusias- tic in his praise of these young musi- cians and gave much credit to their director. The ability of our organiza- tions was demonstrated by their play- ing of selections which were on the All-State programs. MR. MINNICHBACI-1 IANET DEATRICH Director of Music EIGHTY-ONE Standing: Ieanne Schaeffer, Dolores Miscavage, Theresa Pogera, Catherine Otterbein, Patricia Schuster, Nancy Hale. Kneeling: Eileen Murphy, Estelle Frankenstein. The outstandin work of the Instrumental Music Department was summarized in the comment of Dr. glel Silvey, director of music at Kutztown State Teachers' College and adjudicator of music in the recent evaluation of P.H.S., who said that the band was truly professional in appearance and performance, that the teaching methods used were of the tlnest. The band played for many assembly programs and civic affairs and closed a very satisfac- tory season by playing for the annual commencement exercises. P. H. S. ORCHESTRA-1941 1948 This year's orchestra, numbering thirty members, made a very creditable showing. Five of its personnel-Mary lane Bechtel, viola: William Stanton and Morris Yarowsky, violinsz Richard Freese, bass drum, and Neil Keihm, cymbals -'were chosen to play in the Pennsylvania Music Educators' Association Eastern District Crchestra at Scranton, and Morris Yarowsky, violin: Richard Freese, bass drum, and Neil Keihm, cymbals, were chosen to play in the Pennsylvania Music Educators' Association Eastern District Orchestra at Slat- ington on February 20 and 21. Neil Keihm and Morris Yarowsky were also selected to play in the All-State Orchestra at Allentown on lvlarch 17, 18, 19, and 20. On both occasions, Neil Keihm won first place on the cymbals. The orchestra participated in the Annual Spring Instrumental Concert, which was present- ed on April 22, with Albertus L. Meyers as guest conductor. Mr. Meyers was gratified with the professional manner in which these young musicians played, and gave much credit to their director, Mr. Minnichbach. The orchestra played for assembly programs, the senior class play, the Minuet, and the annual class day exercises, The many tributes and honors won by these young musicians in the various musical festi- vals in which they have participated has made P.H.S. extremely proud of its Instrumental Music Department.

H. S., and the attendance at the games broke all previous school records. Due recognition was given our players by the sports writers throughout the state when they placed Bob Unger as quarterback on the All-State team. Wally Reed was given hon- orable mention and if jack Sourber had not been injured early in the season, he would prob- ably have been recognized as one of the best centers ever graduating from P.H. S. P. H. S. 46 -1 St. Clair 0 A crowd of 8,000 saw the Crimson Tide score six touchdowns in their opening game. George Corky johns led the point parade with three touchdowns. Lyle Augustine tallied two goals, and Bob Unger and Warren Thornburg one apiece. Unger converted four extra points. P. H.

BASKETBALL The 1947-48 basketball team was not as successful in league competition as some teams of previous years. However, with a good record for the year and an experienced Iunior Varsity squad being carefully groomed for coming campaigns by Coach Eddie Deitch and his assistants, Chester Rogowicz, Andy Majeski, and Mike Surgent, we felt very proud of the boys who represented P. H. S. on the hardwood this year. Senior members on this year's team were Robert Fey, Robert Unger, Mike Mahall, Walter Reed, and Robert Chivinski.

Nothing much, the youngster reported. 'Tve got to go again tomorrow. O O 49 He was driving her home from the dance. It was past midnight, very dark, and the road was lonely. Suddenly the car stopped, the young man got out, looked the car over, turned to the girl and said, What a break! The gas tank seems to be full of water and we can't move a foot. The girl gave a sigh and said, Come inside. This has happened to me be- fore. All we have to do is sit and argue for a while and the water turns right back into gasoline.

One night a fearful thunderstorm came up just as he was starting for bed. He at once rebelled, and neither threats nor entreaties could induce him to retire. Why, Willie! expostulated his mother, There's nothing to be afraid of. God will take care of you: He takes care of us all. Yes, I know, responded Willie, but He can take care of us better if weire all together than He can if He has to keep running 'round to hunt me up. But, Willie, God is up in your room. He'll take care of you up there. A few more entreaties and Willie went to bed. For a while there was nothing heard from him. Then came a fearful clap of thunder, and the next minute Willie's voice was heard from the top of the stairs, Mamma, he cried, you come upstairs and stay with God a while: I'm coming down- stairs.

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 a responsibilityj every opportunity, an obligations every possession a duty. I believe that the law was made 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 handy 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 hnaneial strueture, 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 saeredness 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 serviee is the common duty of manbind and that only in the purifying fire of sacrifee is the dross of selhshness 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 His Will. I believe that love is the greatest thing in the worldg that it alone ran overeome hate, that right ran and will triumph 'over might.
