ADAMS Frank, one of our commercial students, plans to join the Navy and see the world. His favorite sports are football and basket- ball. He also rates an A-plus in lunch period . . . says that inter- ested him most in P. H. S. We think Frank would look good in an admiral's uniform, don't you? IEAN ALBO jean, one of the more quiet members of our class, has taken the secretarial course. Her great- est desire is to drive a car that will be just Iean's. fMaybe a Cadillac??j She seems to believe in the philosophy of a smile for everyone. We'll be listening for that pleasant 'ANumber please! FRANCES ALABEK A cheerful, sunny disposition and a loyal friend is Fran. Spanish was her favorite class, but she also liked to play basket- ball and watch a good game of baseball. Although an academic student, 'AFran would like to become a beautician. She is busy making plans to attend the Em- pire Beauty College. GELDA ANTOKOLITZ One of the energetic members of our class . . . pleasant, full of fun, and always eager to do her best . . . was a faithful football fan . . . contributed her musical talent to A Cappella and intends to further her music at Ithaca. Will we ever forget those tele- vision parties? IAMES ARCHBALD A future Brown University student, jim was a faithful student to Mr. Gaskin's geomet- ry class. His winning ways were exerted in all directions. jim enjoyed watching and taking part in any and all sports. A brilliant future is assured this quiet, efficient young man. FOUFQTEEN LAWRENCE R. ARTZ Larry is a quiet member of our class, but always puts his entire supply of energy in what- ever he sets out to do. The Biol- ogy Club will lose their valuable president comes Iune, and the band will miss that sweet trumpet he played. Larry would like to be, of all things, a DENTIST! MARION B. BACON Marion is THE pride and joy of the Home Ec. Department. Any basketball team having her as their center is a sure winner. Marion's sense of humor will long be remembered by the Class of '50, If you need a seam- stress, call on Marion. She's really tops. PHYLLIS B. BAKER A cheerful blonde with lots of pep is our Phil No gym class is complete without her talents and humor. Phil has danced her way into many a heart. Her future ambition is to be a tele- phone operator. If her cheerful- ness has anything to do with her progress, we know she'll go far. IAMES 1. BANKES Here we have one of the best- natured fellows in the class. His magic smile makes him known to everyone. Piggy is a sports- man at heart . . . likes to swim and skate most of all. 'AIim took the retail course, and as most other retailers, wants to own his own store. IEAN M.

R .... enjoyed biology ttaught by the one and only Felix j and baseball thmmlj. Her plans for the future are undecided, but with her talents in science, she is bound for success. IANET BARRETT After watching Red lead cheers at the game, we know she has the pep to undertake any- thing. She is always ready to have a good time and never ap- peared out of sorts. Ianet was at her best when in Miss Ryder's class or with the Mt. Hope gang. We know you'l get your wishes, Red. IANET BARTHOLOMEW Bart, one of our charming majorettes, would like to become a Number Please Girl. Ianet found interest in the Dramatic Club, Home Economics Club, Girls' Gym team, C u r r e n t Events Club, Allied Youth, and the band. Ianet likes our assem- blies, but we like her alert mind and extreme loyalty. GRACE BECHTEL Always eager to do her best, Grace was helpful in many ways to various organizations. A mem- ber of the commercial course, she also took part in school func- tions until her health forced her to leave us. A Cappella Choir was among her favorite classes, and her alto voice was a big asset to the group. IAMES BEISSEL Itch seems to exist just for basketball season. He gave his all on the hardwood of P. H, S. Iim's quietness was very de- ceiving, for few of us guessed the hum of activity within him. I-le was active in all school do- ings, and we know he is going to be very active in the future. WILMER BENDER Bill is busy preparing to be- come a Salvation Army officer. He enjoys any type of sport, but placed football above them all. Bill liked his commercial math class and placed a big stamp of approval on assemblies. When you hear Oh, Yeah? echoing down the hall, you can be pretty sure A'Bill is nearby. FIFTEEN ROBERT E. BEST If Bob appeared to be walk- ing with his head in the clouds, he's merely showing his interest in aeronautics. HBob would like nothing better than to be at the controls of one of our planes. He was always willing to look at a football game in our stadi- um. Keep 'em flying, Bob. DONALD BEVAN Ice is well known to all the students because of his partici- pation in everything possible. He is an academic student and plans to attend Bucknell for further learning. Ioe was quite active in P. of D. and loved to play football, especially with the gang HOMER BIXLER 'ABix was the Daniel Boone of the class, for he was always ready to explore in fishing or hunting. An industrious student in the auto shop, Bix was busy planning his future as a mechan- ic. We shall never forget and always treasure our memories of im. IOHN E. BLAKELY lack met all his friends with a Hi, Lou. He hopes to be- come a skilled cabinet-maker, but we'll always look on him as an able gymnast. lack served his homeroom well in the oflice of secretary. Gym and shop rank first, last, and always to this cheerful fellow. SHIRLEY BOHLER Shirl is one of the very tal- ented artists in the class, Though painting is tops with her, she appears to be very interested in music. She was also an active member in many clubs. No longer sharing the sunshine of Shirl's laughter will leave a large gap in our lives. LOIS M. BOLOGNA Lois is another of our blonde secretaries who has a great de- sire to travel. With a smile as bright as her hair, Lois cheered the dullest of our days. She could always be found in the gym after school playing a bang- up game of basketball. Our best wishes will always be with her. NANCY BOMM lust mention sports and see who comes running. Yep, you guessed it - Nan She espe- cially likes to roller-skate, and we are told she is quite an ex- ceptional skater. With Nancy's lovable frankness, distinct in- dividuality, and her combination of joy and seriousness, she is guaranteed to please. PATRICIA M. BRENNAN Sweet, demure Pat could never be considered the noisy student, but her presence was al- ways felt. She seemed to glow with personality. Complete nat- uralness combined with an even disposition made her universally popular. Ford Business School will be proud to claim Pat as one of their students. BETTY IANE CAMODECA Betty was a faithful worker for Mr. Lindeman. It still amazes us just how she mastered her shorthand so quickly. Soft-spok- en, easy, and effortless, Betty was able to accomplish things in the most efficient manner. We hope her record in the future will be as splendid as it was in P. H. S. SHIRLEY CARTWRIGHT Shirl is a tall, blonde, and attractive Miss. She has skipped through high school as if she were playing a game . . . claims her favorite sport is horseback riding. We will all miss our Shirl, her loyalty, sense of hu- mor, and sunny disposition. SIXTEEN MITTIE ANN CATHCART Mitz, one of the assembly pianists, was a great asset to all concerts given by the choirs. Mittie Ann plans to become a nurse at the Bryn Mawr Hospi- tal after graduation. With the aid of her bright personality, we are sure her patients will have a speedy recovery. IANET CODY Yokel s e e m e d to be the backbone of the Mt. Hope gang. Ianet proved to be an excellent captain for this year's cheer- leaders. She is able to accom- plish any task with a minimum of effort and a maximum of re- sult. We will remember Ianet long after she leaves P. H. S. DOROTHY V. COLLINS Dot's decision to leave P. H. S. in the middle of our senior year was a real loss to our class. Her friendly smile, blonde hair, and pleasant greetings are missed by all. MARTHA A. CONNORS Martha . . . sweet, sincere. and an efficient general clerical stu- dent . . . would like to become a secretary or a sales clerk. Foot- ball and swimming rate tops with her . . . loved every minute of P. of D. taught by Mr. Sterner. Her chief interest is a certain someone . . . proved herself an excellent president of the Y- Teens. HELENE COOCH Blonde hair, blue eyes, com- bined with attractive clothes, re- minds us of our Connie. She gave much of her time to the Librar Club and the HI-S- POTTYS . . . plans to enter Kutz- town next year. Football, danc- ing, and algebra taught by Mr. Liddle rank as high on her list of favorites as she does on ours. WILLIAM I. COULSON For four years Bills energy seemed to have centered on the wood shop. He must be serious about it, for he tells us he has high hopes of becoming a very successful carpenter. Bill likes to box and cheers loud and long at all our athletic contests. With his pleasing personality and winning smile a bright future is bound to be in store for him. GERALD G. CURRAN The Distributive Ed. class' pride and joy happens to be jerry . . . quite bashful, but the girls' delight. A more ardent baseball fan is hard to find. jerry would like nothing bet- ter than to be the proprietor of a sporting goods store. With his personality, there's bound to be a rush of customers. GEORGE W. CURRY Willie could easily be nam- ed the most faithful boy in the class. He is an ambitious mem- ber of the wood shop with an eye toward being a carpenter. George got his exercise on the gym team and did a fine job for Mr. Wilbur. To a fine fellow we wish only the best. WILLIAM F. DAVIS Tiny runs the Home Maid, much to the delight of the gang. Our little boy really did a great job on the P. H. S. gridiron, despite his minute size ill. Bill was a member of the band and Varsity Club for four years. We seldom saw him with- out a sport magazine. WILLIAM T. DAVIS Crum, as he is known by all of his friends, would like to try his skill as an engineer. He can play a good game of basketball with the Archers any time. He tells us his greatest interest is girls, but they must be from Schuylkill Haven. 'ABill enjoys our assemblies and the gym classes most of all. SEVENTEEN ARLEN R. DAY Cowboy was always busy running around the town in his accessory-loaded Olds, giving out with a cheer Hit the road! to everyone. Krlen really enjoyed playing end on our foot- ball teams during his four years with us. Although his future is undecided, we wish him the best of everything. ROBERT DEAN Man Mountain Dean is a great outdoors man, and can be found hunting any time the op- portunity presents itself. During his stay at P. H. S. he found gym classes the most enjoyable, with choir and assemblies rating a close second. Quiet and unas- suming, Bob is a friend to all without a harsh word for any- one. RAPHAEL DI CELLO Ray, an outstanding guard on our football team this year, expects to enter prep school and later go on to college. His great- est interest in school was current events, and, of course, all sports. Ray never missed a basketball game. We know he will suc- ceed. BEVERLY DIEFFENBACH The Class of '50 lost a sweet, dainty girl when 'AE-ev moved to Lancaster at the end of her junior year. While a member of our group, she studied under the general clerical curriculum. Now a member of McCaskey High School, we hope they will appre- ciate her friendship as much as we have here in P. H. S. IOAN DEITER Ioanie, our efficient co-edi- tor of HI-S-POTTS, is one of the friendliest girls in the senior class. She participated in many extra-curricular activities and always did a swell job. We will miss that giggle which always comes at our bluest moments and that enthusiasm which always spurs us on. IOHN H. DILLOW 'iOscar is one of our ambi- tious shop boys who would like to go to diesel school and some day own his own garage. Any- one who ever sat near him at our football games will testify that he is one of the school's most ardent and enthusiastic fans. To Iohn goes all our best wishes. W. LUTHER DIMMERLING Luther . . . took the academic course . . . great lover of sports, with football in first place. Our 'ANature Boy wishes gym classes were oftener than twice a week. His favorite expression, 'ADrop Dead, is never applied for its full meaning . . . hopes to enter prep school next year. MARY DINICH Mary is one of our more quiet and reserved gals funtil you get to know herll Mary was never late for Mr. Sterner's class, and she tells us it wasn't 'cause she's afraid of detention. She plans to become a secretary to an up- and-coming young Doc. Stay as sweet as you are and you'll really go places ! FOY DODD Quiet, reserved, Foy never left a teacher wondering about his scholastic ability. He proved over and over again that he had what some of us wished for-the power to grasp things quickly- and made use of them readily. There is no doubt in our minds that we will be hearing great compliments about Foy. DEVLIN DORMER Snooky, who is noted for his dark, curly hair, good looks, and outstanding personality, plans to follow his father's foot- steps and become a big business man. He was the cause of many a big splash in the Y. M. C. A. Our thoughts will be with Snooky wherever he finds his career. EIGHTEEN WILLIAM T. DOVE Bill is the best authority on cameras and photography in P. H. S. That might be the reason why he was elected prexie of the Camera Club. He has become a wrestling fan via television. Bill hopes to continue his edu- cation at the University of Penn- sylvania as a major in chemical engineering. NANCY DRAKE A'Kerry, one of our most promising stenographers, takes a great interest in shorthand. Those odd-looking outlines nev- er confuse her. Dancing and swimming rank tops with i'Nance. She is a faithful sports fan and participates in many ac- tivities. Best of luck to you in your future years. WILLIAM DREBLISHENKO Bill, called 'iGabby by all, was one of the T-men of our football eleven. He was also a member of the track team and Varsity Club. i'Bill's jokes have livened many a dull period. 'AGabby would like nothing better than to be a strutting ca- det at West Point. PEGGY ANN DLILL Peg . . . quiet, but fun to be with . . .

She has taken the aca- demic course and would like to enter the nursing profession. A'Pat participates in many ac- tivities including being an en- thusiastic program seller. She was our most faithful football fan. fWe wonder why?l To you, Pat, we wish the best life has to offer. BERNICE ECKROTH A'Eckie is THE pride and joy of the Greenwood Hill gang. Al- ways full of fun, she shared with us every humorous incident that came her way. She was one of us who wished there was more than one choir period a day. Some day, when she becomes a great dietitian, don't say we didn't tell you. DAVID H. EHLERS Fair-haired boy from Mt. Hope. Henney's main inter- est is football, football, and more football. He is also one of Mr. Sterner's pride and joy at the track meets. We all know of the trail of broken hearts he will leave behind him. Henney plans to attend college and- you guessed it - play football! IEAN MARIE EMERICK 'Blue lean is another aca- demic student with an eye on a nursing c a r e e r. She enjoyed chemistry class to the utmost and will never forget all those experiments. She possesses a lovel voice which she gladly lent X Cappella for three years. When you hear a voice exclaim- ing, What a riot! you may be sure it's Blue lean. MELVIA EVANS An irrepressible giggle echoes down the hall, and without even a glance we know that Mel is lurking nearby. Will we ever forget her troubles in the senior play? Mel plans to study dra- matics or become a receptionist. She made many, many friends in her three years in P. H. S. ROBERT I. EVANS 'AE-ob was quite a hit with the girls during his stay at P. H. S. tHe told us so.l Now he feels that he must get away from it all, so his main ambition is to run a mine in the Amazon Val- ley. If that is impossible, he would like to attend Annapolis. 'ABob can be found in front of Rose's talking politics with his associates. NINETEEN VINCENT M. FABIANI Vince is a student in the industrial course, and has a great interest in traveling. If that is not in store for him, he would like to get a job refinishing fur- niture. 'AVince was an ardent admirer of Miss Close's English class. 'AVince enjoys playing the piano and refinishing antique furniture. ALBERT F. FENEDICK Easy-going, joking all the time, and with an answer for every- thing, Alvie was well liked by all. He greeted everyone with a Hi ya doin', anyhow? Alvie wants to be a state trooper, and he'll make one of the best. Watch that speeding, boys! STEPHEN FENEDICK Steve took the retail course in his senior year. He is an all- around sportsman with swim- ming, baseball, and football as his paramount interest. Steve could always be depended upon to have the job finished right the first time. He is anxious to enter a diesel school where he will learn to be a first-rate mechanic. LAMAR FENSTERMACHER Abner is one of the top me- chanics in the auto shop. He con- fesses that his favorite period is lunch. Because of his quietness, few of us realize what a help he has been. He has spent all his efforts in keeping the class on top. DALE FERNSLER The whiz can always be seen with a broad, cheery smile . . , spends most of his time at the movies-well, how about that! Dale has no definite plans for the future: he just wants to have a good job. With such a fine disposition, you surely will get that desire! GERALD FINK Gerald is of the more serious type.

IOSEPH FOX Tall, lanky Ice is the most easy-going, good-natured fellow we know. When not playing basketball, he can be found try- ing his best in a game of pool. He takes an active part in P. of D. Ioe's sense of humor is sure to put him right on top. ESTELLE FRANKENSTEIN When it comes to acrobatic dancers, we think A'Essie is one of the best. She added much col- or to the band at football games and brought honor to the Choral Ensemble with her excellent in- terpretation of the Trepak. HEssie is headed for the Ameri- can Ballet School, where she will prepare for the teaching profes- sion. VERNA L. FRANTZ Verna, one of the more quiet and reserved members of the class, took the home economics course, Verna would like to study hair-dressing at the Em- pire Beauty College.

She was a member of Phi Gamm and the Dramatic Club. WILSON G. FREEZE Tall, dark, and handsome can only describe 'fWil.

A'Grick is bound to be success- ful with his pleasing personality. VALERIA GWOZDECKI Val came into our midst only this year, but she has defi- nitely proven herself to be a worthwhile daughter of P. I-I. S. in that short time. We wonder what Mr. Haviland would have done without her leadership and beautiful voice. Val is going to become a director of choral music. GERTRUDE R.

He has obtained many faithful friends through his pleas- ing ways. The shops will surely miss Bob and his friendly smile. IOHN A. KLITCH Iohnny, lucky fellow, sailed through the industrial course like a breeze. We wonder what Mr. Wilbur would have done with- out him, or vice versa. When Iohnny isn't working out on a piece of apparatus, he can be found skating or swimming with some of the boys. Iohnny's future is Navy bound. BERNARD LAPINSKI Bernie's future is yet unde- cided, but strange as it may seem, he does not want to be- come President. He is a credit to everyone - his teachers, his friends, and his school.

Maybe he will com- bine them, who knows??? IUNE SNYDER One of the most popular gals of the class, june has more than her share of looks and personal- ity.

We expect to see Iune as a stenographer, and we know she will fill the position in a worthy manner. THIRTY-FOUR IAMES R. SOMERS jim is a distributive educa- tion student who thinks there is nothing quite like baseball. He is a quiet fellow, but when given a job to do, he makes sure it is done to the best of his ability. The Class of '50 wishes him lots and lots of luck and happiness in years to come. CHRISTIAN STERANKLE Our distributive education de- partment must have really been crowded this year 'cause here is another student. 'AChris seemed to wander all over the county.

IOHN SLIPKO We have seldom seen Iohn serious or gloomy. We think he's immune to girls, but it could be we are misinformed. john gave all his time to Mr. Sparks and the electric shop.

TILEY Bill's great popularity is testimony of his ability to get along with people, and his work on extra - curricular activities proves his organizational talents. Besides participating in almost everything, Bill is also an hon- or student. Everyone knows him for his feats on the football Held. Pity the poor classes that don't have a Bill Tiley. IAMES TROILO l'Sparky would like to be- come a chemist after he finishes his schooling at Penn State. He is interested in all sports, but his greatest love is basketball.

The work of the Council is carried on through the standing and special committees. Council members have ushered at all school affairs, sent sympathy and convalescent cards to students, maintained a lost and found department, assisted with the planning of assem- blies, and arranged for transportation services to out-of-town athletic events. The administration of all community welfare drives in the school has been handled by the Council. The annual Penny-a-Week drive reached the amount of 540341. This money purchased dolls, toys, oranges, and candy for needy children in Pottsville. The purchase of a CARE package was made and sent to Italy. An acknowledgment was received from the Guiliano Guisseppe fu Salvatore family in Sicily, Italy. Regular appearances of the school band at six professional programs from the Antrim Lyceum Bureau were types of assemblies provided. The Freshman Day assembly program was presented by talented members of the class. The social program of the Council included the covered dish supper for the new members of the faculty, the Christmas party for faculty children and the younger brothers and sisters of the Council members, a hay ride, the All-School Dance, and the annual picnic. The Council sent three representatives to the annual state Conference of Student Councils at Coatesville and participated in the program. The Council plans to send the president and vice-president to the leadership training camp at Shelby, Michigan, this summer. The president, George Zacko, and the secretary, Rose Majeskie, pre- sented Admiral Ioel T. and Mrs. Boone with gifts from the student body on the occasion of their visit to the Pottsville High School. These same people represented the school at the community dinner given to Penn- sylvania's Ambassador, Admiral Ioel T. Boone. Other functions of the Council included: giving aid to schools which are establishing Student Councils: handling the seating arrangements in the cafeteriag entertaining the 120 newcomers to the school at a party: granting charters to clubs: presenting Bob Reilly with a trophy for dis- tinguishing himself as the best backfield man on the varsity football team.

It was founded with the purpose of improving the reading, writing, and speaking of its members. The membership consists of forty-four girls-sixteen seniors, fourteen juniors, nine sopho- mores, and five freshmen-who are chosen on a competitive basis. These girls must main- tain a scholastic average of C or better. The meetings of the club are held every first and third Thursday of each month, with a special program meeting if there is a fifth Thursday. The annual Christmas dance, this year known as the Frostie Frolicf' was a huge suc- cess. This started the club's activities for 1949-'50. To add to the Christmas spirit and cheer, the girls again filled stockings for their little friends at the Children's Home. During the same week, the alumni and present members renewed old acquaintances and made new friends at a luncheon which was held at the Necho Allen Hotel. On Valentines Day the girls entertained the women faculty members at a tea held in their honor. The arrival of spring brings with it Phi Gamma Lambda Week. During this week a play, a guest speaker, and an artist are presented in assembly by the club, and the officers for the following year are an- nounced. The week is brought to its climax by the annual spring dance. The proceeds from the Christmas and spring dances fur- nish the money for two annual scholarships which are given to senior girls who expect to further their education. A picnic concluded the twenty-fourth happy year of the club. The inspiration which most Phi Gamma Lambda girls gain is something intangible and long-lasting. OFFICERS President ......................

The tryouts consist of drawing a series of four pictures - a still life, a real life, a water color, and a personal selection. These pictures are judged by a committee of professional artists, 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 field 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 art educational tours 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. OFFICERS President ....... ................. W ilson Freeze Vice-President .... ....

The objects of the club are to foster interest in photography among the t dents and faculty to provide them with an interesting extra-curricular s u , activity, to provide a means of keeping a permanent record of school activi- ties, and to help the individual member enhance his knowledge and work in photography. ln 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 club officers are: President ......

The student is under observation, supervision, and guidance of the employer and the teacher-coordinator. The curriculum coordinates working experience with scholastic instruction, thereby meeting the real employment needs of the community and fulfilling the objectives of the school--to create better citizens. No inconsiderable feature of this program is the opportunity it gives the student to earn money. They are paid the prevailing wage for their work, receive commission wherever the position calls for it, and are allowed the same discounts on purchases as are regular em- ployees. The students who enter this course are chosen very carefully. They must have a high scholastic average and a good record of attendance and punctuality. They must have a genuine interest in retailing and a personality which makes them adaptable to this kind of work. ' Last year the aggregate earning of the class amounted to 311,452.36 Many of these stu- dents acquitted themselves so satisfactorily that they have been retained in their positions or have been given more responsible assignments. A year has passed since we brought to your attention our D. E. Department. More people have become interested in this phase of our work and in the students who participate in it. The merchants have been very helpful and to them we express our sincere thanks. We are deeply appreciative also of the sincere interest and cooperation.manifested by the vocational administrators and the Board of Education. CLASS OFFICERS President ..............................

S. began the 1949-'50 school year with the flourishing membership of 460 enthusiastic young singers. The junior Choir, consisting of freshmen and sophomores, numbered 1103 the Girls' Choral Club, sophomores and juniors, 70: the A Cappella Choir and Choral Ensemble, mainly juniors and seniors, 1153 the Folk Singers, juniors and seniors, 303 and the Patterson Division Choir, a training group consisting of 135 students from the eighth grade. After approximately three months of preparation, the choirs from the school on the hill presented one of the finest Christmas concerts in their history on December 7. Une of the main features of the evening was the presentation of Waring's modern arrangement of Tschaikowsky's Nut Cracker Suite, which was most ably conducted by Chester A. Stineman, recently elected president of the P. M. E. A. The choreographer was jack Dale, Whose pupils gave a charming interpretation of the ballet. The school assembly was entertained with a Christmas concert before the vacation. Another Yuletide concert was the annual program presented before 1 ETHULA SCI-ILIETTLER EARL W. HAVILAND and Director GEORGE ZACKO EIGHTY SIX the joint meeting of the Lions and Kiwanis Clubs. This, as usual, was very cordially received by the members and enjoyed by the senior choir personnel. Auditions for the Pennsylvania Eastern District Choir were held in Potts- ville, Reading, and Allentown early in the term. Twenty-eight members of the senior choirs successfully passed the auditions, but due to quota restrica tions, only twenty-three were accepted. In February, the A Cappella and Choral Ensemble journeyed to Harrisburg and sang at the Annual Convention of the School Directors and School Sec- retaries Associations in joint session in the Forum. lt was a brilliant success and many laudatory letters and comments were received. A testimonial, in the form of two concerts in his home town, was given to Chester A. Stineman, who was the choir's guest conductor for over a year in many presentations of the Nut Cracker Suite. Mr, Stineman won a warm place in the hearts of the young singers, and on March 8 they were happy and proud to travel to Lansford to pay their debt to him. Due to much favorable publicity from the choral clinic held March 30, 1949, before the All-State Choral Directors, Mr, Haviland was invited to be the guest conductor at the Huntington County Festival, to bring his Folk Singers to present a similar clinic before chorus and directors, to appear as a concert group, and to sing in the Festival Chorus. Twenty-three students went to Allentown on April 20, 21, and 22, to take part in the Eastern District Chorus. Due to strict quota limitations, a much smaller group sang in the All-State Chorus in Harrisburg, May 20, 21, and 22, The Twenty-second Annual Choral Festival was the climax of the concert season for the Associated Choirs. john D. Raymond, director of music at Lafayette College, guest conducted the A Cappella Choir and Choral En- semble with verve and distinction. As their finale for the year, the Folk Singers sang a sacred program for the annual Memorial Service which was held in the Veterans' Memorial Stadium. EIGHTY-SEVEN During Commencement Week, the A Cappella Choir participated in the Baccalaureate program. Senior leadership, as always, was a major factor in superior achievement. George Zacko, Ethula Schuettler, Richard Knowlton, Mary Ann Ioulwan, Emil Mahall, Donald Bevan, Wilson Freeze, Sara Louise Rehman, Valeria Gwozdecki, Melvia Evans, Louis Paparazo, Gelda Antokolitz, Rose Majes- kie, and joedean Mayberry are just a few of the outstanding personalities. Mittie Ann Cathcart and Ioan Perrott rendered faithful and loyal service as accompanists. This years choir is largest and best -'the testimony of many qualified critics among music educators who have heard our choirs at home and in other cities, through the years. EIGHTY-EIGHT P. H. S. BAND -1949-1950 The Pottsville High School Band, under the capable leadership of its conductor, Mr. Leo F. Minnichbach, began the 19419-1950 school year with a flourishing membership of eighty- seven enthusiastic members. This has been the largest enrollment since the beginning of World War ll. Consequently, fifteen additional uniforms were purchased for the band by the Athletic Association. Famous for its spectacular football shows in the past, the band executed even better and more intricate drills and formations this season, bringing upon itself the highly complimentary well done of the press and radio. In its role as representative of the school at many events, including the football games, this organization has always been a source of pride to P. H. S. alumni and followers. The most outstanding drill of the season was the formation of a surrey with the fringe on top at the Tamaqua game. While the members of the band outlined the surrey, the majorettes carried sixty feet of red and white crepe paper cut to represent the fringe on top. The spokes of the wheels were outlined with red and white satin ribbon. As the wheels revolved, the surrey moved down the field in perfect rhythm and timing, as the band played the selection, Surrey With the Fringe on Top, from the Broadway production, Oklahoma This complex and difficult feat evoked so much enthusiastic comment from the audience that it had to be repeated at the Hazleton game, where it was again greeted by thunderous applause from the Hazleton fans. The role of head drum majorette was this year filled by a newcomer, Faye McGinley, a sophomore, who gave a laudable performance in setting the pace , and heading the drills. She was ably assisted by the ten majorettes- Estelle Frankenstein, Eileen Mur- phy, Ethula Schuettler, Ianet Bartholomew, Dolores Miscavage, Patricia Schuster, Ioan Rose, Iackie Ioulwan. Louise Umholtz, and Darielan Rodgers- who added much charm and glamour to the band. The excellent training being given our young mu- sicians was again brought to public recognition and commendation, when six of the band members were selected to play in the Eastern District Band of the Pennsylvania Music Educators Association, held at Nazareth on Ianuary 12, 13, 14. First place winners were Robert Zimmerman, a junior, solo clarinet: and Curtis Shollenberger, a freshman, on drums. Other members who earned high positions in their respec- 5 FAYE MCGINLEY MR. LEO MINNICHBACH Director of Instrumental Music EIGHTY-NlNE MAIORETTES tive sections were William Mosolino, clarinet: Elwood Sheeler, clarinet: Vincent Bercher, clarinet, and Iames Shaneman, flute. The All-State Band was held at Hazleton on February 16, 17, 18, at which Pottsville High School was represented by Robert Zimmerman, solo clarinet, who again heaped many laurels upon himself for his outstanding musicianship. fThe full quota allowed for each school in the All-State Band is one member., The P. M. E. A. Eastern District Orchestra was held at Hokendauqua on March 2, 3, 4. Again, Robert Zimmerman won the signal honor of being chosen First chair, solo clarinet: Morris Yarowsky earned fourth chair in the solo violin section. On March 30, 31, and April 1, the All-State Orchestra assembled at Hanover. Both boys won high positions in this organization. The annual spring instrumental concert was presented to a capacity audience on April 20 with Edward Mahoney, eminent cornetist of the Goldman Band, as guest conductor and soloist. Included in the program were the Patterson Division Band of forty members, the Pottsville High School Band of eighty musicians, and many individual soloists and small ensembles. A brilliant and diversified program of classics, semi-classics, and novelty numbers was further enhanced by the sparkling solos of the guest conductor. Mr. Mahoney was amazed and thrilled at the high quality musicianship of our band and at the impressive ability and style with which it plays. He congratulated their director, Mr, Minnichbach, and paid high tribute to the band members them- selves. Throughout the year the band gave many spirited assembly programs and provided music for numerous community activities. Its highly successful season was closed with its playing for the class da and commencement exercises. The many honors and tributes brought to gottsville High School by these young musicians has made us all justly proud of the Instrumental Music Department.

CLAIR o Pottsville opened its 1949 season with a 55-0 score over St, Clair, Pottsville scoring twice in each period. Reiley led the scoring' list with two touchdowns, while Zacko, Drebushenko, Xedeas, Stoudt, Alston, and Fiorillo each scored once. iley and Grickis made the extra points to round out the score. Pottsville used many subs, who proved their ability by making three of the touchdowns. POTTSVILLE 20 - ALLENTOWN CATHOLIC 6 The game started out with fumbling on both sides, but soon Pottsville started to roll. Pottsville drove 77 yards for their first touchdown. The remaining touchdowns were made during the first half. Drebushenko scored the first touchdown, and Bob Reiley scored the other two. POTTSVILLE 27 - BEN. FRANKLIN 0 This was the first game between Pottsville and Ben. Franklin. Again Reiley was outstanding for Pottsville, making three of the Pottsville touchdowns. Pottsville's line was too fast for Ben. Franklin's eleven to get started. Calvin Stoudt, a junior, played well and scored the fourth touchdown for Pottsville. POTTSVILLE 56 -1 SUNBURY 0 Previous to this game, Pottsville and Sunbury put up terrific battles. This year, as the score shows, the result was very different. Dalvet, a junior, made two touchdowns: Zacko, Day, Ehlers, Drebushenko, Mayberry, and Woods each scored once. Many subs were used and made a fine showing. POTTSVILLE 12 - SHAMOKIN 6 Pottsville and Shamokin put on a well-fought show, with Pottsville coming out on top by six points. The first score for Pottsville was made by Reiley on a 55-yard sprint along the sidelines. Reiley scored the winning touch- down after a 77-yard march by the combination of Reiley, Drebushenko, and Mayberry. Shamokin scored once POTTSVILLE 38 - LEBANON 13 It was a somewhat puzzling ame with Pottsville making its first tallies on pass plays after the slower ground plays failed. The first two T. Sfs were made by passes to Yanek and Day, and the third by a 50-yard sprint by Reiley. Ehlers got loose for 77 yards, but was caught from behind. Stoudt finally got it over on the fourth tally. The subs made a good showing, with MacDonald scoring once. Lebanon scored once in the first half and once in the second hal . POTTSVILLE 14 -- MOUNT CARMEL 8 Pottsville High nosed out Mount Carmel in an exciting, hard-fought game. We lost much yardage because of penalties and fumbles, but finally got rolling with Reiley running 55 yards for the first T, D. Later in the second quarter, Drebushenko pushed over after a 75-yard march to set the half-time score at 14-O. Mount Carmel scored on two points on a safety in the third quarter and their only T. D. in the final quarter. POTTSVILLE 14 -- BERWICK 21 Pottsville lost its first game of the season to Berwick in an exciting 21-14 battle. Berwick's left halfback, Yalch, played brilliantly and was a detrimental factor to Pottsville the whole evenin . He scored twice and Shields once for Berwick's third T. D. Reiley and Stoudt scored twice for P. H. S., with gfiley scoring the extra point. POTTSVILLE 34 - TAMAQUA 6 The Crimson Tide was slow in getting started, but when it finally did begin to roll, it sewed up the outcome fairly early. Because of the rainy weather, the footing was very slippery which caused Reiley to fall on what might have been a T. D. on the opening play. This happened several times, but he finally did carry the ball over after a long drive by Stoudt and Ehlers. Zacko, Day, and Drebushenko each scored once, with Reiley making two. Tamaqua scored once in the last quarter. in the third quarter. NINETY-FIVE FRESHMAN FOOTBALL SQUAD POTTSVILLE 32 - HAZLETON 6 Pottsville High School defeated Hazleton by a score of 32 to 6, which even surprised Pottsville fans. The Crimson Tide marched for three touchdowns the first three times it got possession of the ball. Stoudt, Ehlers, and Reiley played the stellar roles, with Reiley scoring four of the P. H. S. T. Dfs. Hazleton made several great goal-line stands which held Kadel's boys from making more points in the course of the game. A pass from Zacko to Day scored the fourth T. D. for P. H. S. The Pottsville team played its best game of the season, forcing Hazleton High to play a passing game. POTTSVILLE 12 - READING 12 Pottsville played its only tie ball game of the year vs. Reading before a capacity crowd. Reading marched from the opening kickoff for the first score of the ball game, and scored once again in the third period, making the score 12-0. Reiley and Day scored in the Hnal period to tie the score, 12-12. The Pottsville High School football team of 19419 surpassed the most optimistic expectations of its followers by losing only one of eleven scheduled games. The Crimson Tide rolled up 280 points to its opponents' 72 in losing only to Berwick, 21-14, and tieing Reading, 12-12, in its traditional Turkey Day Classic. Several achievements featured this year's eleven, coached by Felix Kadel, Hot-Foot Bob Reiley established a new individual high scoring record for Crimson backs as he scampered for 19 touchdowns. This performance won for Bob a place on the second All-State team. Leon Grickis, the team's great offensive pivot man, was voted All-State center, amassing the greatest number of votes on the All-Pennsylvania line. Out of those and other individual perform- ances, the team distinguished itself by winning the newly formed Keystone Conference, which included the fol- lowing teams: Pottsville, Mount Carmel, Shamokin, Sunbury, Hazleton, and Berwick. This year's team was comprised of many individual stars, but the one voted the most scintillating was Bullet Bob Reiley, the Palo Alto Express. Fifteen seniors will leave this year's squad, but the coaching staff is hopeful that they will be ably replaced by members of the lunior Varsity, who won the county championship. This year's outstanding eleven was coached by Felix Kadel, Edward A'Bud Bossick, and Edward Deitch. The up-and-coming Freshmen were under the tutelage of Ben Liddle and Iohn Tasso. The graduating seniors wish to leave this message for next year's squad: 'iWork hard, play hard, and carry on the torch of Victory! PATTERSON DIVISION FOOTBALL SQUAD NINETY-SIX VARSITY BASKETBALL SQUAD First Row: Lyons Mayberry Prahalis Quinn Mahall Womer Muscarx Second Row: Grickis Beissel Barnwell Coach Dimmerling Coach Deitch Troilo Fox Bevan BASKETBALL The 1950 basketball record was not as impressive as it would have been if about twelve games had not been lost by the narrow margin of one to five points. Failure at the foul line cost several games. However, the fighting spirit of the entire squad and the improved playing of several players in the late games of the season was a credit to the capable coaching of Eddie Deitch. The seniors on the squad are Mayberry, Quinn, Troilo, Beissel, Grickis, and Manager Bevan. High hopes are held for next year's team. Coach Dimmerling's Iunior Varsity, which had one of the most successful records in years, will combine with Prahalis and Barnwell to form next year's Varsity.

Delicious Home-Made Candies ONE HUNDRED FIFTY SIX AUTDIEIQADHS AUTDGIDAIDHS AUTUGIQAIDI-15 Our Constitution of 1787 was not a perfect instru- ment, it is not perfect yet. But it provided a firm base on which all manner of men, of all races and colors and creeds, could build our solid structure of democracy. We have learned that We cannot live alone, at peace, that our own Well-being is dependent on the well-being of other nations-far away. We have learned that we must live as men, not as ostriches, nor as dogs in the manger. We have learned to be citizens of the World, mem- bers of the human community. We have learned the simple truth as Emerson said, that The only way to have a friend is to be one. From President Roosevelt? Fourth Inaugural Address, January 20, 1945.
