No longer need we listen to our Seniors and not being able to speak our thoughts. We will not always be looked upon as stupid Seniors. Now if you wish to know just what our school is like, hero are some personal talents that our teachers and students possess. First of all in our line-up wo have our globe-trotting, gadabout, chubby and very intresting soul, Miss McCahan. She foes from border to border and coast to coast, and then trots right beck to tell her dear students all about the battlefields from Maine to Texes, but after a while it gets a little monotonous. Probably some years from now you vail be buying a book colled Travels by Rosy McCahan. Now wo find Miss Long playing down at first and whon she con not throw anyone out as first, look out Seniors, she is rooting for her home team. Her patience have been wearing very, very thin in the past twenty years and by jirainy I thirJc they were through. And as far as shutting their ears to the foreigh situation, you just can't my dears- hum- uum. Now I think Mr. Roosevelt would appreciate very much having a good strong Democrat for his right-hand helper. By the time wo seniors graduate we will all be poets or something . Now I see coning up to b,t that frockling, rolacking good-natured Miss Steele. I thih-you will find her pinch-hitting for that all American Star Pee-’.'ee Reese in the fifth. She is the most pathetic, energetic and most or not sympathetic person around this institution. Her favorite pet is Buddy Mellott. Now I think the manager is sending in that All American play boy, l;Ir. Hopkins. He thinks he can master any sport and P.O.D. above all. (Sometimes I wonder). He is so sweet ho attracts flies, (the kind that sticks). Duo to his muscular body and mental defects he will fair out very well in the end providing he cats enough oranges to balance his bases. Since we are down this far we shall skip across the hall to see that Mistress of languages, Mrs. Stinson. She has mastered every thing and everybody especially that timidbody in room jf4. Duo to her quiet disposition (?) she is considered the most refined and intelligent queen in any deck of cards. Next we see pulling up at third that good - looking game making, love-making specimen, Mr. Shoemaker. He tries to drown-out Mrs. Stinson with his music lessons, Bond and Chorus. He knows more about any one sheet of music than Einstein will ever know about his Atom smasher(c-hem). . Next my friend'we see that vehy 'atholeticial soul in room 4, Mr. Stinson. Sometimes we think he should havo been a public-speaker instead of Coach of the 3.L.K.3. V.'ildcats. He has always talked .mathematics and will remain to do so in the next twenty years. He even looks like o mathematician, ..'hen he resigns from S.L. he will sign up with the Super- man outfit protecting all damsels in distress. Here comes from the out-field that very energetic little man, Mr. Sharp. He can be mostly identified by his walk because when he sets his 9’s down the building fairly rocks. He is really a whiz at making out report cards which drov� to him a wide circle of friends (good and bad). You would think hydrogen very mild if you should see him explode when - 23' - someone breaks c tost tube. Before we leave our good friend wo would like Mother Nature to inpress upon our nir.ds that not everyone is blessed with a ncce thick head of hair. 3one people have nore .money then brains, but this nan Sharp has nore brains then heir. The games over and down tc the shower rooms we go hnd who have we here? Yes, its Hiss Patton, America's number one Debutant. She can make an egg beater talk, whip up a cake in no tine, and make a dress in less. And now last but not lecst in that noiso-naker, Mr. Tianons. He can draw all the attention out front with his weed-pullers and lawn - nowers. If it isn't the chicks squawking it's ncc- ir.os and the carpenters or he, hinself. Ee oven picks out about one good visual educational picture every week. Jell, ‘Jhat do you know? And now ny story is told, until another has rolled around it's B;;c Now . — Doris Cypher — Regina Dillion — CLASS HISTORY (Cont'd from Page 26) The Press Club has been active and its literary work has proved to be successful through the efforts of our high school pupils, in which Seniors were members of the staff. Talent in our class is by no means lacking although we did use it to a good advantage, it was not displayed to its best advantage. ]!e truly appreciate the sincere donation to our teachers to their tasks in taching us. Jo regret in learning this building to which we have become so loyal, but yet we go out more assured of the- ability to endure the trials or perform the task cbnfvonting us. ---Catherine Facchinei ---Elva Fouse OPTIMIST tty dearest friends, Unable to find a better high school we spent four happy years at Saxton Liberty, and we do not regret it one bit. We enjoyed every day of these years even though wo did get a little provoked once in .. while but I suppose the score would be tied if we. sun up all the tines we caused the teachers to be provoked at us. Mow we are sorry we have to leave in order to make room for the Juniors. But you know tine just won't stand still. I don't believe-you could find nicer teachers any- where as they are very sympathetic, especially Miss Long who is every- one's friend. They give very reasonable assignments which the students really appreciate. The Seniors like the library very much. Vfe are very thankful for the large number of new books -fiction, non-fiction and reference books that have been available this year. We have read most of them and believe that Truth is stranger than fiction . Vfe do not object to the white lines in the halls because we realize that they are there for a good purpose and for our own benefit we arc very grateful to Mr. Timmons for enforcing these traffic laws. We think it is a wonderful idea. Most of all the Seniors appreciate the improvements made in the labatory since some of them arc taking Chemistry. Experiments and demonstrations can bo more effeciontly and easily prepared with the newly installed sinks and gas system. Vfe wish to congratulate Mr. Hopkins for the excellent girls basket- ball team he turned out this year. Vfe feel proud in saying that they were the Tussey Mountain Champions. Vfe hope that they nay gain the same title next year. Vfe would like to thank the Fross Club for their generosity in issueing us a free copy of Chips which we received almost every week. We are certain this fine paper was made possible by the cooperation of the staff and Mss HcCahan, the faculty advisor. Vfe hope that next year's staff is as efficient and if possible better. The Seniors also wish to express their appreciation for the visual education program which wc have greatly enjoyed this year. We think it is very educational and Important tc us. Mr. Timmons must be congratulated on his kindness of devoting his time to the operating of this picture machine. The Sophomore monitors are to be c ongratulated on the fine way in which they operated the monitor system. Vfe hope they continue thicr good work. All good things must come tc an end a.nd this time it seems to bo our high school days. In parting we wish to thank the Saxton Liberty High School for the four best years of our lives. - 25 - History of Class of '41 Little did we realize that we were making history for ourselves when we entered the Saxton Liberty High School building on the beginning of September, 1937, as Freshmen. We did make four years of history for Saxton Liberty and this history will probably not be known to the world but to U3 it is a vital part of our lives. It played a great part in molding into us the qualities which are possessed, although some of our class possess more than others and this difference is due to the effort that we have individually put in. As Freshmen we entered the building bewildered at the sight of every- thing new. We wondered at what new experiences we were going to be pushed into. Y� ’e entered as groups from Saxton Borough, Liberty Township, Cherrytown and Coalmont Borough. After a few days we became accostomed to the a torn sphere and came to the conclusion that everything was going to be full of excitement and we really became part of the school. We each stuck to our own group, each group at their own corner, but we soon found out that it was much more fun to' associate. Our Sophomore class was increased with t he addition to students from Carbon Township who had been formerly gone to Dudley High School. Our Junior year ended the three years of underclassmen, and it seemed to fly by unnoticed. It was a year full of social gatherings. The moonlight hike, the hay ride, and various other functions which proved very successful. The Junior-Senior Prom proved to bo at the peak of our social activities. Mr. William Hopkins, our coach and health instructor and Hiss Dorothy Patton the Home Economics teacher • have taken the places of Mr. Graham and Miss Albright who have taught their last year at Saxton Liberty when we were Sophomores. As the Senior Class of '41 we entered the high school in September 1940 and our class again increased with the addition of a group from Dudley High School. Members of our class have been loyal members of the-, football and basketball teams. The Seniors have been very active as members of the Varsity Club which is it's second year of existence in Saxton Liberty. In the field of music the Orchestra, the Dutch Band and the Octett have been orgainized and its success is due partly to the Seniors not mentioning the Band and Chorus.

You are privileged to live in America where the rights of the individual are respected and the human spirit is given its freedom. The American Way of Life is threatened today as never' before in the history of odr country, T he battle of the democracies is on, a battle for existance. The outcome no one can forsee. 7 e in America are pledged to preserve our way of life. It is our privilege and our responsibility, v' e must be eternally vigilent for the enemy from within is more dangerous than the enemy from without. An Englishman recently stated the case of Britain and the democ- racies in this manner: It is better to die fighting upon one1 s feet than to live in submission upon one's knees. The struggle is on, the die is cast. The secret of our future lies beyond the horizon. Will it be sun- rise tommorrow? As citizens of this nation you are free from the tyrany of fear. Fight for the ideals of your country. Vforthly assume the office of citizen- ship� Honor God and County. 'fQbd Give U Men. A time like this demands strong minds. Great Hearts, True Faith, and Ready Hands; Men whom the Lust of Office does not kill; Men whom the Spoils of Office cannot buy; Men who possess Opinions and a Will; Men who love Honor; Men who will not Lie. - 32 - Joseph W.

BAND It is the general causensers of opinion that this yearji band was the best to . represent Saxton Liberty High School to date. The enrollment has now reached 48 members, and the .the generosity of the Band Mothers Associatioh, the Board of Education and the community, much new equipment was added. Include in this new equipment were,bass horn, 3 new snare drums, new jackets, white boots, and cymbol. The bands activities have been quite extensive this year. The usual home and away football games were attended, as well as several Halow en parades. The annual band concert was presented in February, and a short concert was presented at the Kay Day celebration in Kay. Future plans call for the appearance of the band at the Commencement and Baccalaurate Services and the lienorial Day exercise and it is hoped that the organisation of a Summer Band will be. again possible. - 41 3AHT0N LIBERTY HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA An orchestra was organized for the first time in oa.. „„ne High School in November of this school year, and its mem cr.,ni . largely from the band.

Activities of the group includes appearances on the exchange program presented at Smith, Evorott, Broadtop, and Robertsdale.In_Apri, group, together with the Girls Octott presented a concert. It is hoped h the orccstra will appear at either the Commencement or Baccalaureate Service this year. The orchestra is dcfinatcly a part of the Saxton Liberty High School Music Program.

Officers for this years orchestra are r Vaughn Bailey -------- President Betty Belle Anderson— - Secretary Olive Clapper -------- Librarian SAXTON LIBERTY HIGH SCHOOL CHORUS The 1940 - 41 Chorus was somewhat smaller than the chorus of other years, numbering thirty-four in its membership.

Singing at the Mid- Winter Bend Concert. In March the organization presented The Jcibilee Minstrel , the funds of which wore gonerally given to the band.

In every school throughout this nation, where Vocational- Agriculture is taught this organization is- found.

Club The future homemakers club of Saxton Liberty High School, was organized this year, 1940 and 1941, under the leadership of their present councelor.

The girls were the winners of the Tussey Mountain League Championship. They are patiently waiting for something bright and shining in the trophy case. ’.That is it you call it? A cup? That's it. The girls this year have had a well organized team. Cooperation was at its highest degree among the players. The team will lose three girls through graduation.. They arc Martha Long, Virginia Duvall, and Edna Russell.Martha and Virginia will receive letters for the second year of good work.The- re are three Juniors this year. A splendid forward sprung from the Junior Class, Martha Rogers. Betty Belle Anderson and Dorothy Roub were splendid guards. The Sophomores gave us Joan Guillard,Dorothy Eriedhof, EiLene Weaver, Patricio Foreman, and Dorothy Thomas. The Following girls have come out for the first time: Emily Beatty, Mil- dred Friedhof, Ruth Kensinger, Dorothy Putt, Hazel Davis, Betty J. Amick. If they keep up their good work we will never need to fear our rivals. We had two fine managers, Genevene Hamilton and Marian Kelley. Wo will lose Genevene through graduation. We hope Marian proves as efficient in her remaining years as manager os she has this year. We wish to extend our most sincere gratitude to Coach Hopkins for his part in making this a successful season. Also we wish to thank Arnold Davis and Ruby Worthing for the fine way they helped make this year successful. We hope the teams in the coming year will keep getting better and be more successful.

With a little cooperation for the girls,our instructor has put over some well organized classes. At the beginning of school mushball was of highest interest in most of the classes� We really found some good hitters among the girls. As wintor approached bas- ketball was the main event. It appealed to. most of the girls, but to those'it did not thoro was tumbling, ping- pong, shuffle board, soccer and volley ball. The senior girls were permitted to have dancing. Nov as spring is around the corner wo must keep in shape so we have calis- thenics. Several new games have been purchased to add to our enjoyment. The girls all approve of gyn classos because they feel that physical education is essential in every mod- em high school. Virginia Duvall - 50 - First Row 1 to r: Mr. Stinson, coach.

Families are all alike; they have their ups and dovjns, and ins and outs. You have to get up at exactly the instant you are called. You must be downstairs fully groomed in fifteen minutes. If you aren’t you’ve been fooling around taking your time so you won't have to do the dishes before you go to school. Tine only reason you hurry to school is to wait a full half hour before the door opens. You just go to school to get out of work at home. Then whenyou are home you don't do anything. You clean the washer, wash the dishes, and scrub the floor when you come heme and you think it its terrible. How would you like to take a great big washing for a family of about ten and get out under a tree to a washrubber and tub like I had to do when I was your age? You don't know what work is. (Yes, but mother didn't have to do the washing after she came home 'from school in the evening). You want a new waist! Well, what is the matter with the one you got last year?'.' Oh! Its all faded and too little and half the buttons are broken or lost . It isn't that little that you can't wear it this year. There are some ct her buttons you can put on it. If I had had something like that when I was your age I'd have thought I was a Millicnair. V'.’cy I never had a rayon waist. I had to war calico. The trouble with you is you don't appreciate anything a person dees for you. Yes families expofit you to do everything perfect .and bo perfect but never think of you. Yotj can't make an A in English if you can't have ti e to study at home. You aren't perfect if you have to wear a waist that is too little and faded. You do something for a member of the family and they aren't satisfied; The shirt sleeve isn't half ironed; you didn't even sweep under the cabinet, you never Cleaned the sink and stove when you do the disnes. Mow, see here! You're going to dc your work right or I'm going to see the reason why . No, You can't wear that dress to school. I didn't get it for school. That skirt and waist is good enough for school . I wish my family would do some of the things awhile themselves that they make me do. They would find out that it isn't as nice and easy as it sounds. I bet they couldn't even do it as well if they had to do itI —Helvena Crownover - 65 - WILLIE FAUCET Willie Faucett was a sad lad, that comical, or pleasure- they grow in any Willie moaned his tenor tunes, they were means that its sweet 'to have t he blues, to heaven naturally, like a Texas horse Yfas coined, it seems unbelievable th t t His desolate air spoke plainer than his An't no reason 'vented yet fo1'anybody vmss thing kin happen to a man . paradox of color.

Laffin is jcs' stimn' up yo' insides over nothin! Harlum like a rodsful o' nonkeys- jabber wit' yo' mouf, grin vat yo lips, ain' nothin' but monkeys sho-noff . Willie Faucett ma.de a living collection'old newspapers from cellars and waste bags and reselling them for pennies, netting sixty cents or so a day. He slept in Mr. William's apartment- house basement and received lots of handouts. He believed wealth beyond bare necessity bad for man. It disturbed what should be his melancholy. Fools smiling and laughing and lux urating in money jest beggin'for formal somethin' to happen. Man ain't got nothing, don't want nothing, an't laughing over nothing, don'o have to worry about mising nothing. That's sense. He sang sad songs as an avocation. Willie Faucett had spent his boyhood on a farm in Virginia. At eight he held the bucking handles of a plow drawn by apigeon-toed gray that knew mere about farming than fifty nigger'lads. 3chind that plow was, perhaps, timbes seen overhead, chained, weary, that Willie sad fantisies began to grow. The gently- jogged rows were conducine to melancholy- intense, over- helming melancholy that was like the crooning of when outside the shack in a storm. Willie -was the best manabout. Sorrow had always howled in Willie's brain. It was not long before'his maddening airs calmed hijm from the sympathies of those about bin. Poor Will e liked to drive the good and cheerful darkies nuts with his moody and his snowey blizzards and his dowdy skies. He wondered and drifted, settled, and sighed, mood, and finally found a place for himself in the graces of the more unbanely humorous folk in the great city. It had been a good many years now since the thin, gazling negro had settled in Harlem. No cne thought about his age. AT any age the jrears of the universe would have nothing or naturally been'his shoulders. And as though he really carried these, and its sorrows, too, Will Faucett shuffled, slow-moving, like a slow mild itself, timiless, ambitionless, incomparably sad, absently rumbling in his thread new lyric sounds that would register more adequatelly his wast gloom. So that, would or the world turned up side down, head spinning with t he swift sequence of events, Willie Faucett was unable to apprehend and word off a Fate that mocked the essence of his philosophy. It all happened just a little too quickly for Willie Faucett. - 66 - ----Darvis Savadow FIH52IAK Cl' PAFADE Tr.c alarm strrliod ringing in the room below -ne woko fireman Jolmny Dcr.c from a. sound sloop.

Of course with some people it is not because they are just naturally intelligent and can get things without much effort or because they are book-worms. I am going to give you a short cut on how to make yours an A average. In the first place do not try to bring the teacher apples. It is too obvious and besides the teachers would not appreciate it because she does not care for apples and that would not be so progressive for you. So do not bother trying it. The next step is to find the teacher's hobby and follow this up with a few well-planned questions about it. 3e careful! Don't go too far with it or it may arouse suspicion. Sometime if you think that you are going low in your studies just try washing the teacher's car for him but never accept any money. That ought to be worth a(3) any day. I want to add something else. If you must close your eyes when you are in deep thought, wrinkle your forehead and look worried or the teacher may get the wrong impression and grade you accordingly. Then you might try polishing the apple'.' This includes sitting in the front row and always appearing attentive and using similes generously. Oh, yes! Always laugh at the teacher's jokes, even though they are not the least bit funny. Another thing is to use big words liberally- never use a two syllable word where a five syllable and will do. All thesethings may be worth an A; but,incidentally, you might try studying, t oo. —Caroline Acitelli - 69 - STAIRS Stairs lead to many places of interest and sometimes to disappointment. You may at sometime climb a stairway; and your aim in life, your ambition, may depend on what fate has in store for you at the top. Usually, though, the stairway is very hard to climb. On the wr.y you encounter many hardships: you have to make a. fire sacrifices: and then of course a little happiness is thrown in so as ot to make climbing each step so monotnsus. Yes, climbing the stairway is vitally important for you must be carc-ful not to stumble ' when you are half way or near the top or you may fall clear to the bottom. Then you should have to start climbing all over again. But I think you will bc more careful the next time as the first attempt will have taught you a lesson. Stairs are climbed by millions of people every day;'Happy young couples climb the stairway to a crazy little apartment, aged men,, weary from work and troubles, trudge up the many steps. Children love stairways, especially the beautiful, winding open stairway where they have so much fun sliding down . They like to play gar.es on the stairs; such as, Buttonl Button] Who has the button? T.en some people don't like stairways when they have to climb them to the third or fourth floor about four times a day. Now mociorn elevators have taken the place of stairs in many story buildings such as hotels and apartment stores. But always we have one stairway that elevators cannot replace and that is the by stairway of life that -we must build ourselves and then climb. ■Caroline Acitelli thaIk YOU !
