- THE SAXTON LIBERTY HI H SCHOOL SAXTON, PENNSYLVANIA Tine nay ebb and we nay rr.der ?nr o'er distant ways. But our thoughts shall e’er be winging, To our high school days. Jaxton Liberty, this forever Shell our :otto be. ' er bright banner v:ave3 before us, Spreading loyalty. Dedication We, the class of 194.5, dedicate this brok to the boys from our class ho have b'-en called to fi ht for their country. These boys who will bo absent at commencement time will not bo absent from the hearts and min 3 of rs, their fellow classmates. It is not an 'f'asy change from the life of a high school student to that of a mem of our fighting forces. These boys can make that chan;e without trouble though. They are all a credit to their A.'ma f ater and we are proud of every one of them. Y e are all ho ing for their safe return, lay God be with then. • -r r ' - - ' � • _ ALLISON, ROI ANGELO, FRANK ANGELO, NICK ANGELO, SANDY BAILEY, EUGENE BAKER, EARL BAKER, GEORGE BARNETT, CHARLES BARNETT, RALFfl BAUGHMAN, BOBBY BAUGHMAN, SAMUEL BEATTY, LLOYD BUCK, RALPH BLANK LEY, WILLIAM BOOSE, CLARENCE BRENNA, ROBERT BRENNAN, JAMES BRIDENB4UGH, IEWIS BRITTEN, WILLARD BRODE, BLAIR BRUMBAUGH, BLAIR BRUMBAUGH, RICHARD BRUMBAUGH, SAMUEL BRYAN, FRANCIS BRYANT, FAY BURKETT, RUSSELL BUSSICK, WILLIAM CARBAUGH, CHARLES CARBAUGH, EMERSON CARBAUGH, HOMER CARBERRY, EUGENE CARBERRY, GERALD CARBERRY, JAMES CARBERRY, OSCAR CARBERRY, OWEN CHIARIZIA, ARTHUR CUPPER, FRED CUPPER, JAMES CUPPER, LLOYD CUPPER, MILFORD CUPPER, SAMUEL CURK, FRED CURK, HAROLD CLARK, THOMAS CORNELY, JOHN CORNELY, WILLIAM COY, GEORGE CROUSE, WALUCE CROVNOm, EARL CYPHER, THOMAS DAVIS, ARNO ID DAVIS, CHARLES DEFIBAUGH, GLENN DETWILER, ALBERT DETWIIER, WILLIAM DICK, KENNETH DIXON, DONALD DIXON, VERNON DONOHOE, GLENN DONAIDSON, CUY DONEISON, FRED DONE IS ON, KENNETH DORMAN, HOWARD DORMAN, JAMES DORfAAN, MERIE DORMAN, RALPH DUVALL, FERN EICHEL3ERGER, DR.ELI FIGARD, WARREN FRYE, JAMES GIBBONEY, JOHN GIIEAN, CARL GRAFFIOUS, KENNETH GRAZIOTTI, LEROY GROVE, JA?ES GUILURD, PETER HALL, KENNETH HAMILTON, JOHN HARVEY, FRANK HARVEY, GUY HAZZARD, GERALD HEATON, HARRY HEISER, JOHN HESS, CUIR HESS, GEORGE HESS, PAUL HESS, ROSS HESS, ROY HF1ES, DARYL HIMES, EDGAR HOFFMAN, GILBERT HOOPER, MAX HOOPER, PAUL HOOVER, CHESTER HOOVER, WJLLIS HOUCK, MEARL HOUP, JR.,JAHN HOUP, KENNETH HUFF, EUGENE KEIM, JR.,ARNOLD KIFER, EARL KIFER, JR., WILLIAM KIRK, DR.GROVER KRIEGER, ROBERT LIVINGSTON, GEORGE LIVINGSTON, ROBERT LONG, HARRY McCUIN, DR.

Sharpe------ You, the clesa of 1945, ere sterting on a grea1 voyage. Possessing a wealth of possibilities, now is the time for you to air. at something worthy o the be3t thet is in you. You rust face life courageously, reedy to strike straight at the heart of anything that is keeping you from doing your best, o longer must you stop aside to let crusaders go by. Others shall step aside for you because you are now a crusader. The world irrkes way for the person who knows where he i s going. 1. oments of weakness and depression and laziness are going to assail you. But this is the time for bottle. He who finds his capacity and uses it succeeds. One of Life’s great rules is: The more you give, the more you get. 1 know that if you use your talents you will find yourself growing stronger physically, mentally, socially, -nd spiritually.

P uff, reu. Toi t Board r. Lencrr-rd Tweet, iberty Townshij Boa rd r. ; rl But it. : . r. PHILI! BARNETT 4 Phil is an all-around young man with a talent for football, basketball and th fairer sex. When anythin needed a leader Phil was always called upon and willingly took over. His specialty while in school was project “work”. ■ DORIS RANKIN Quiet, friendly, and dependable Doris has an engaging smile for everyone. She likes music but would rather study art after she graduates. AUDREY ALLAN Never a dull moment when Audrey's smiling face is around. Aud” likes to dance and rollerskate, played one of the “snare” drums in the band, and plans to do a bit of war work in the future. HILDA HARNETT Hilda needs no introduction. She is the screwball of the class and is known and liked by all. She is un- usually witty and care-free, likes to jitterbug and dotes on the once pop- ular song “Sweet Potato Vine”. MARGARET HARNETT “Short and Sweet” that’s Peg. She sang soprano in the chorus and was one of the “Little Women” in the ( lass play. She is also a commer- cial student and a whiz at typing. CHARLES BARTO 1 he boy with the crew cut, and the tanned complexion. Tall and ac- ademic, Charles expects soon to accept I ncle Sam’s proposition. He hasn't decided whether it’s army, navy� or marines. W hen he does all auxiliaries look out, for in a uniform Charles will surely be mighty. Serious- y. his ambition is to attend college later and pursue a course in engin- eering. WILLIAM EirilELHERGER We didn’t discover until the end of March that Chip had a bow—“tie”. His talents were quite concealed un- til his surprise appearance in the class play “Little Women”. Chip loves animals, especially little crawly ones and his dry sense of humor at times is quite spontaneous. LENA DIXON Whether there’s wrork to be done, or fun and frolic forward, you will find Lena in the midst. She hails from Tyhank and is proud of it. Her life ambition is to be a pilot. How- ever if the war ends, we predict the army will take over and her voca- tion will change to that of housewife. ROBERT BEAVER The class Romeo is Bob, accord- ing to the findings of the “Chips” poll. He possesses the prize dimple of the class. It is rumored he found a. Juliet, could it be the effect of the class play? DONALD BLACK Don likes to roam in the gloam- ing with a lassie by his side. He also likes to hun£. fish, swim and play basketball but he expects to live w'ith I ncle Sam in the near future. FRED BLACK Fred's favorite pastime is driving a truck. He likes to dance and sing and really has a “swoon king” voice He's supposed to be working when he’s behind the wheel of a truck. But ambitious, what? ROBERT BONE W hen you hear a still, small voice look carefully and there is our Robert, who, like the parrot, says little but thinks much. His hobbies are fishing, trapping and modeling. W e predict a future in the airplane industry for him. ROBERT burke It was not until recently that wo recognized the accomplishments of Boh, who likes to play the accord- ian, dance and sing. He does, how- ever, have a serious side, which shows itself by his faithfulness to the church in Dudley the accomplished altar boy. STOLER FLUKE Stoler, one of the honor students of the class, departed for higher learning at the beginning of the sec- ond semester. Active in basketball, hunting and fishing, this versatile young man was an asset to the class. PETE (IAKKOCCA The merchant from Dudley and a talented young man. His main hob- by is blowing the trumpet and an excellent hobby, we say. He indicates an extreme fondness for “Heed”. Is it furniture or ???? At any rate it’s certain if Pete likes it, it must be o.k. RUTH CORNELL Ruth is very co-operative, always ready and willing to help others. She collects write-ups and pictures of local service men as a hobby. Ruth likes to do office work and wants to be a private secretary. NORMAN UORNELY The Irish boy with the Irish wit. His main trouble was arriving at school on time. Becoming hats are his specialty. Whenever you hear a loud shriek, it’s Norman expounding the merits of French to his fellow classmates. WAYNK CROWNOVEK Wayne is quite the business man. Whenever inquiry is made, his reply is, ‘ I have to work.” This year many of his nights seem taken up. Could it be from work or like portum “is there a reason”. A solution from any freshman would be appreciated. MARION DEFIBAUGH Marion is the home girl type. She likes to cook, do work around the house and read after school. Marion would like to be a Cadet Nurse. GENE (iHILLARD Happy-go-lucky, care-free lad— Gene likes sports and majored in football He will long be remembered as end number 45. Gene left at the end of the first semester to be a sailor for the U.S.N. PAUL II1QUET “Hiquey”, the piccola player of the class w'ants to be a banker be- cause his favorite color is green. Paul plans to build a house between the school and the church so he can get some more sleep and get either place in a short time. BENNY HORTON The fatherly character of the Senior Play is from Hast Saxton and we might add, seldom there. His bass voice is heard quite frequently in public. If anyone has extra gas, Benny is quite receptive. He says it takes plenty to drive to Hollidays- burg each week. Is it to further his music, for business, or for pleasure? From the picture in his wallet we would say the latter. IMOGENS HYDOCK “Imie” is very quiet and likes to read. She is a good student and a speed maniac in typing. Her cousin, who is a marine, is her prided poss- ession and favorite subject. W e pre- dict a bright future for Imogene. HELEN LEITKAM “A-hunting 1 will go”, says Helen and off she goes with her gun over her shoulder into the woods. This is just a side issue compared to her artistic ability which is always in demand—the class artist. HKTTY MASOOD A dark brunette with a pleasing personality and plenty of “It . That summarizes Hetty who gave a good account of herself as “Meg in the class play. Chosen as the most at- tractive girl in the class will certainly he a success in her chosen field of Beauty Culture. DONALD Me A VITT This young man deserted us for Juniata at the close of the first sem- ester. Always in a hurry and with places to go, Donald hopes to make the Navy this summer. It’s rumored that a certain senior lass has his heart or maybe later his wings. At any rate time will tell. DOLORES Mc LAIN The Kobertsdale addition to the class made many conquests. Possess- ing keen talent in music, dramatics, and all the arts, this unusual per- sonality has recently completed an- other conquest the class president. DICK MclNTYRE A jolly young lad, full of wit and boyish pranks. Dick is a friend of all and an enemy of none. He is a lover of sports, especially football, remember “69 ? LI LI)A MKCK “Yes sir, no sir. thank you. please--— you can easily understand why Gilda has the reputation for being the most polite girl in the class. Gilda likes to sew and do things with her hands but wants to to be a secretary. HETTY MKLLOT “Take a letter, Betts . Short- hand is Betty’s favorite subject, and Mrs. Garber gave her plenty of practice so she could perfect it for future use. She plans to be a pri- vate secretary. CL} l)K MOI I ATT N ounge'it and tallest boy in the Hass, Clyde is 1 fret 3 inches of quiet ness and is unusually shy where girls are concerned He plans to stay near home and work in the strip mines after graduation. DONALD REED Don, champion spaghetti twirler of the class, hails from Dudley. His favorite subject is girls. Well, eluci- date! Having left us at semester to be with Uncle Sam, we predict a fine infantry-man for the Army. PATTY RHODES A dynamic blond full of pep, vim, and vigor. A fine outlet for this is found in her position as head cheer leader. Patty is always on the go thither and yon. She especially thrills to the song “Semper Fidelis . We wonder why? GENE SHETEROM “Gene-ie with the light brown hair—her favorite subject is boys and she is an authority on it. Gene par- ticularly likes dancing and parties and plans to take up photography as a career. ELVIN SNARE Klvin is a young man who is particularly fond • r school—holidays. His main accomplishments, however, lie in extra-curricular work as assist- ant to Mr. Haring and Mr. Hoffman. Klvin is undecided as to his future but he will no doubt accept Uncle Sam’s proposition DOYLE SNYDER High scorer for the basketball team of ’45, Doyle likes to do office work but right now is busy being one of Uncle Sam’s sailors. HUI ’CE STOLKR Bruce, a good leader, did much for our class. He likes sports, espec- ially basketball, and excells in music. Bruce was a good student and plans to study medicine after graduation. IKKNK STONK “Renie” has a school spirit worth admiring—usually is hoarse from cheering at a basketball or football game. She took part in all school activities. Irene is active in church work also. GLEN TENLEY That was not a flame you saw whiz bv, simply the red-haired heart throb of the senior class In basket- ball the outstanding star, an all- around good fellow is Glen. He also played football and thinks sports should be curricular instead of “extra”. Is he bashful or is it just put on. WILLIAM THOMAS No matter how tough the going in football, you found “Old Bill ’ plugging until the final whistle. Strong but silent, his ambition for Health Education was side-tracked for awhile as he responded to the Navy’s call. Smooth sailing. Bill. HICK THOMPSON Dick is one of pur Sailors. In civilian life, however, he was usually found fishing, riding around in a big green Buick or hunting for a deer ?). V KUNA WAKIIOLK Shoes shined, hair “just so”, very neat, well-dressed,—Verna is proud of her appearance and likes to look her best at all times. She does, too, even when it rains. ERNEST WKIMKRT “Ernie” has no desire to be a movie star, but all he needs is a horse named “Trigger”. He plays a swell game of football, but now uses his ability for Uncle Sam JAMES WHITED The most modest boy in the class really knows how to toot the bass horn. Jimmie plans to work for Uncle Sam very soon but in the meantime he is content to fish, skate and read RAY WILLIAMS Time—Future, Place—Forest. Ray wants to be a forest ranger. If you ever go through Defiance and hear good music you will know it is Ray playing his guitar. Ray is quiet and is liked by everyone. VAUGHN WORTHING The quiet unobtrusive lad from Cherry town has departed for service with Uncle Sam. In his leasure time Vaughn may be found bicycling, swimming or driving the family car iif gas is plenty). His ambition up- on returning from service is to be a pedagogue As to whether he has a “Rank-in” the class or not we’ll let up to you, but we are sure he is interested. PAUL YODER Barney Oldfield, the second. Paul has a love for cars, and will no doubt become a mechanic and an all-around auto man for Henry Ford. He also has an extreme fondness for girls and eats. This combination makes a swell sandwich, don’t you think? W ILLIAM ZIMMF.RM N Joys added, sorrows subtracted, friends multiplied and no love un- divided is an appropriate way to de- scribe W illic. We hope he succeeds in the world as he has in school. wm We, the Senior Class, do make this our last bequest to our under-classmen, the juniors, for their own use, and benefit forever, and hereby appoint them our executors without bond.

Looking down upon the practice field a few weeks before the 1944 football season opened, we sew Coach George Jiggs galley drilling the sauad for the second year as head football coach. After gevr al drilling the team the sports fans made a trip to Huntingdon to open their 1944 season. playing ify of i ir cl ss, the Wildcats” naturally went into the game as the underdog. The strong Bearcats team out-weighed the Wilddats by far. The final whistle sounded with the score 45-0. Off to a bad start the Wildcats evened up by a 7-0 victory over Claysburg at the first home game of the year. The second home game with Robertsdale was fought back end forth with both teams threatening to score several times, but later ending in a 6-6 tie. Up until this time the team had been handicapped by the absence of Joe Shark in the backfield and Tom Heffner at end, both boys having had nuite a lot of action in the previous year. Now with a complete team the'Wildcats Journeyed to Bellwood only to receive a 39-0, set-back. This game was played in more mud and rain than either team experienced throughout the rest of the season. Another close one was lost to Roaring Spring, 6-0. The Wildcats threatened many times but were unable to put the ball across the goal line. The following week 7 1 Iliads burg came to Saxton, and departed with the score all tied up at 6-6. Terhars the most outstanding game of the year was played at Hollidaysburg under the flood lights. Both teams dis- T� l yed good ball handling, passing, kicking, running, blocking, and tackling. All through the game the Wildcats had a •clicking passing attack but were unable to score. Hollidaysburg scored one touchdown in the first half and one in the second, along with one conversion. The final score was 13-0. The following week the Wildcats were out to beet the Robertsdale Tigers and did so, 7-0, on the latter’s home field. The final g«me of the season was nl«yed at Bedford, again under the lights. 'Hie overwhelming Bedford team won by a m«rgin of 28-0, with the Wildcats threatening throughout the game but not getting across the goal line. This ended the Wildcats’ football season for 1944, High School football is a sport which promises to become bigger and better through th6 years. It teaches the play- ers m nv important things which will be very helpful in later life, such as, sportsmanship, teamwork, faith, and the twl 11 to win. Sports alone help the players as well as the students to associate among .fellow students and players of the competing schools. We, the football players of 1944, want to leave one thought in the minds of the students, faculty and community: that snorts teach many valuable lessons and for that reason we want to see the sports program enlarged in the years to come. In our few years of experience wa have noticed that it takes not only team work on the field, but also among the 3tudents, faculty, schoolbonrd and citizens of the community to successfully carry out a sports program. The sports programs in football and basketball were able to be carried on with the co-operation of Coach George Jiggs Bailey. We, the olayers of both football and basketball, along with many others, wish to thank him for every- thing he has done for the fellows and for the school. He did indeed carry out’his part very well. Many thanks go to Doctor Chester L. Isenberg for the time and professional services he gave to the teams. We ore slso grateful to him and to Mr. Robert S. Huff for the wonderful Testimonial Dinner which was served at the high school for both the football and basketball teams.

A great deal of gratitude goes to the cheerleaders, who, during both the football and basketball seasons carried out their tasks brilliantly. New uniforms greatly enhanced their graceful routines. School spirit plays a major part in our high school srorts, which could not have been carried on without the help of the cheerleaders. The cheerleaders along with the band, displayed many brilliant exhibitions on the football field pnd at basketball games, which helped greatly to inspire teams and fans. The 1945 basketball season opened, this year with Coach George Jiggs Bailey the head coach for the second consecutive year. Five letter men from last year (Fluke, Tenley, Beaver, Snyder, and Barnett)along with the rest of the team, started to prepare for the full schedule set before them. After a few weeks of practice and drilling, the S.L.H.S. Wildcats journeyed to Martinsburg to open their 1945 basketball season. Since the game was the opener for both schools, the score remained comparatively low throughout the game, ending with Martinsburg on the winning side, 15-13. The next game on the schedule was Huntingdon, which was the second consecutive game lost, 58-17. The Bearcats had a very strong team and later went to the state semi-finals. The game with Williamsburg was a thriller, both teams battling back and forth throughout the game ending 32-30. The Wild- cats had seldom beaten the Yellow Jackets on their home floor until this year. The score ended in the Wildcat's favor 31-20. The game with Claysburg was an easy win for S.L.H.S. 35-16 on our home court. Then three more games were played on the home floor, Williamsburg, Martinsburg, and Everett. The first two ended in our favor 34-29 and 26-21, while the last one ended in a lost to Everett, 38-24. After losing to Bedford, 50-33 the Wildcats journeyed to Robertsdale and brought home another victory, 32-23. An- other thriller was brought before the eyes of the spectators when the Wildcats played Morrison Cove on the latter's floor, 31-29,S.L. the losers. The 7 ildcats again added another victory to their season by beating, Smith 34-24, but in turn lost to Bedford on their own floor, 38-22, and then played Huntingdon at home to a final score of 49-10. Coming back on the winning side, the Wildcats won another over Robertsdale, 36-22 and Smith, 30-23. There were quite a few close games this season. One was the game with Claysburg ending in the Wildcat's favor, 25-24. Following a lqsa, with Everett, 52-22 our greatest rival (Roaring Spring)journeyed to our home floor for a hard and fast game which ended'-in a loss for the Wildcats 26-25. The Wildcats completed their,, 1945 schedule by beating Cove, 49-14. That was the best scoring game of the year. Perhaps it was the famous slogan Even up . Thus ending the regular schedule the Wildcats were entitled to play Stony Creek Twp. at Everett for the District 1 t championship. The game all through was a close one and the final whistle blew to end all finals for the 1945 season, Stony Creek - 26 and Saxton - 20. The Wildcats lost a very prominent guard at mid-season when Stoler Fluke left Saxton-Liberty for Juaniata to enter college. Doyle Snyder enlisted in the Navy several days before the District 5 play-off and thus was unable to be in the play off game, but the position was filled by Renny Mack.
