This honor is hestoweci in the hope that it will succeed in expressing our heartfelt gratitude for their numheriess sacrifices and sage encouragement, without which we could not have attained this milestone in our intellectual development. iVlen's thoughts are much according to their inclination, their discourse and speeches according to their learning.--Bacon.

Superintendent St. Clair Schools St. Clair High School Bucknell University, A.B., A.lN'l. University of Pennsylvania Lamlada Chi Alpha N modern times new ohjectives of educational development have been recognized in our puhlic schools. Greater emphasis has been placed upon the social values ot education largely as a result ol the philosophy that education is maintained for the preservation and maintenance of the state. The existent social order can he maintained only so long as its par- ticipants remain loyal and sympathetic to the ideas ot democracy upon which its institutions may he founded. And since a democracy is a changing organism our materials ot education must constantly undergo revisions in the light of our present needs. The nclairiann is an expression ot that changing viewpoint as manifested in the Saint Clair High School. Vve must judge its worth lrom the improvement it portrays in contrast to previous issues in the democratic development of our institution. No longer can a hoolc of this lcind justify its publication as a record of scholastic or athletic achievement of its students or of its alumni in higher institutions. It must prove its worth hy showing to what extent our institution is developing worthwhile citizens ot the community of Saint Clair.

Principal Annville High School Penn State College Lebanon Xfralley College, ,A.B., University of Pennsylvania Biology Chemistry SINCE the inception of the Public School System in Saint Clair in 1838, there have loeen many revolu- tionary changes in its structure. It was not until approximately 1872 that a High School course was estah- lished in the system, and this had no curriculum leading to a graduation until 1905. At this time a three-year course was organized, with the fourth year to he talcen at some other chosen place. Twenty-one years later, due to the erection of a new building, the tirst graduation exercises were held for a class completing a standard tour- year course. The man conceded to have been the first high school principal in town, was Mr. Richard Brown. He was succeeded in 1883 hy Mr. T. G. Jones whose 52 years ot service in the local system, were terminated hy his retirement in 1922. After 1922, Mr. VV. J. Evans, Mr. lra Goss, Mr. VV. VV. Ridge, lvlr. Isaac Rissmiller, and Mr. Charles R. Birch respectively, served in this capacity. The present incumbent, Mr. E. S. Bodenhorn. assumed his duties in 1928, and is to he complimented for the devoted service that he has rendered to the system so characterized hy efficient and inspiring principalship.

The death of our President, Xvilliam lxlccool, cast a shadow over our cup of happiness, during our Junior year, but in his name we carried on. As Seniors, we recall the vital part that we have played in all school activities. Athletics, dramatics, publications, social activity, general fellowship and, of course. scholarship, would have been at low ebb without our indispensihle support. Facing life, we feel confident that we will do honor to the institution that has so fondly fostered us. lt is our determination to strive on to success. with humility in our hearts, but with indomitable courage.

Late in September we held a meeting with our advisors, Miss Phoebe Evans ancl hir. Francis Vvelker. The following officers were elected: Eleanor Kotch President Albert Kazlauskas Vice-President Jenny Ross Secretary-Treasurer After deliberating on matters of organization, we debated on the question of a motto. Finally our choice was, mfoday we follow, Tomorrow we lead. This tittingly expresses our attitude, our confidence, and our goal as the future leaders of our High School and Community.

Parent Teachers Association of Saint Clair has had a busy year in its work for the betterment of this community. y The local unit of two hundred sixty-eight members, has been in existence since reorganization in Niarch, 1936. The worlc of rebuilding this organization was directed by Nlrs. Lydia Place, ably assisted by the following elected officers: Nlrs. A. J. Nlansell, President: Nlr. Joseph Gwynn, Vice-President: ixflrs. Harry Rhoads, Secretary: Ftrs. Emil Haas, Treasurer. The purpose and ideals of this movement demand Commendation. and a general knowledge should be had of its aims. Being non-political, non-commercial and non-sectarian, the organization thinks only of child welfare as it strives for the following objectives--to promote child welfare in the home, school, church, and community: to raise the standards of home life: to secure adequate laws tor the care and protection of children: to bring into closer relationship the home and the school, that parents and teachers may co-operate intelligently in the training of the child: and to develop between education and the general public such united efforts as will secure for every child the highest advantages in physical, mental, moral, and spiritual education. Such ideals as these should arouse the interest and co-operation of every parent, and with continued support, a great improvement in the life of the youth of Saint Clair can be effected. Vvorthy projects have already been fostered by this energetic group, chief ot which was the pre-school ltfledical Clinic held in September, 1956. This clinic provided for the examination ol all children starting on their school careers, and prescribed for their cleticiences. This worlc is of high merit. On December 22 a Christmas Party was sponsored for the entertainment of the grade school children, and it, too, was successful in attaining its purpose. The regular meetings of the organization never fail to bring up points for discussion. that are of general benefit to the school system and the town. With proper co-operation in carrying out the program for the tuture, objectives almost unbelievable can be attained by this civic-minded body Such a commendable worlc deserves your support.

SELF GOVERNMENT EXPLAINED HE Student Council of the St. Clair High School, organized for the purpose of promoting the general activities of the school, the best interests of the school, to foster sentiments of law and order, to create co-operation hetween students and faculty, and to create and maintain standards of good citizenship among the students. is now three years old. Vve are proud ol' our Council, hecause it is accomplishing those things which it set out to clo. Undaunted hy the discouraging remarlcs of some ot their school- mates. the councilors and their aides have. through sheer rigidity of purpose and the quality ol' good fellowship. lcept marching ever forward trying to instill in the minds and hearts of their schoolmates a spirit of school-mindeclness which will ever tend to malce our school a better and happier place to attend. Among its outstanding achievements for the year, were the Freshman intro- duction Party, its gallant and successful attempt to lceep the classes passing in speedy and good order, the sponsoring ot four student assemblies. the selling of Booster pins, and the fostering of a movie to help defray the expenses of the most important event of the year, the Athletic Banquet. This was the first olticial athletic round-up in the history of the school, and from all the comments it was a fitting heginning of a regular annual affair. There is no doubt in the minds of most of us that student government is making rapid strides toward its goal, and with lwliss Ray at its helm the course will he straight and the trip fast.

FOR HIGHER MATHEMATICS N October 27, 1932 an honorary mathematical fraternity was louncled at Saint Clair High School for the purpose of stimulating interest in mathematics ancl promoting general scholarship. This organization was an outgrowth of the Nlathematics Club, ancl has clevelopecl in the few short years ol its existence, until it now enrolls one hunrlrecl ancl forty-three memlaers. The memlaers are rquired to he of at least Junior standing, with averages of 80f3fv in their mathematical subjects. Each year at graduation, awards are given to those memhers attaining the highest average. ln 1956, Leo Prima and Albert Puches were the recipients of this honor.

Nliss Monahan sponsored this organization and its popularity is proven by its large enrollment. However. it became necessary to limit admission to Seniors and Juniors. The eiiicient manner in which the club produced the Thanksgiving and Christ- mas Assemhlies, attested to its worth. A three-act play was presented late in the Spring, the proceeds of which went into the High School Building Fund.

BOOSTING THROUGH THE NEVVS HE Booster, our school paper, has been a dominant factor in moulding the lives ol the St. Clair High School Students. The primary aim of the Booster was to create greater fellowship between the students, by discussing in editorials and special features the problems in which all should be interested. In bringing about this desired end, a second purpose was accomplished, for the publication brought out dominant literary and artistic ability in our classmates. The mimeograph division had ample occasion for experience in completing our color editions. A third noteworthy achievement was the attempt to instill broad-mindedness hy presenting viewpoints of well-known educators in several issues. This worthy project was successfully carried through, because of the sage and untiring aid ol lvliss Ray.

PREPARATION FOR XVORLD OF COMMERCE HE Business Training Club ol the St. Clair High School, the outgrowth ot the commercial cluh formed in 1927, was chartered hy the Student Council as a high school organization in 1955, having as its ohject the promotion ot the interests, welfare, and standard of the commercial students. Through the intluence ol the Club and lVliss Ray. St. Clair High School was honored lay having lVlr. George Hosstield. nine times champion typist ot the world, give a personal demonstration in the auditorium. They issued an invitation to all the surrounding schools, who very gratefully accepted the opportunity to attend. Aside from the regular routine of studying the operation ot different lcinds ot ottice machines. office practice and routine. the members ot the cluh discussed with the manager of the Necho Allen the art of hotel management, and had the privilege ot hearing lvliss Mary Karmazin ol' the Schuylkill Trust Company of Pottsville give a very educational tallc on lnanlcing. Numerous tield trips in and about the county were part of the program ot the clutm. The outstanding event ot the year was the field trip to Harrisburg and Hershey, where the State Government Build- ings and industrial plants were visited. The funds tor this trip were raised through the medium of a card party. ln addition to all this studying and traveling. the cluh very gladly donated its services to the Booster Cluh and mimeographed the school paper. At least once a month, ditterent memhers ot the clula clramatized prohlems which they will meet and have to solve when they get out into the husiness world. The Business Training Club is to he congratulated for heing so wideawalce in talcing advantage of every opportunity to raise the standard ot the commercial department and the school. lvliss lxlargaret C.

Taking az Backward glance S the dawn of a new athletic era creeps over the horizon, we see tit to loolc haclc toward the hours of the past, and pay triioute to the humble origin of this phase of Saint Clair High School activity. Just as in many of the smaller communities of the region, the organization of an athletic program in Saint Clair was definitely lacking until a few short years ago, and many a desert iiower was horn to blush unseen. In the days of suicide football we had the forerunner of our modern, letter-man, Unfortunately we do not have a record of all those interested at this early day, lout we must mention a iew names that linger in the fancy of the old timers. Previous to 1904 expression for an athletic program was voiced by such men as Robert F. Vveaver, Samuel Daddow, Bob Evans, Harry Gwinner, Xvill Rogers, Vvilliam O'Donnell, Nlart Duffy, George Coclcill, George Conrad, and Morris Oestrich. Later, the classes up to 1908 produced such other potential athletic heroes as Joseph Fame, Charles Gwinner, Harvey Harrison, John Gorman, Harry Rhoads, Elmer Vvilliams, Gregory Hein, and Linus Raring. After this group had graduated a lapse is reported to have occurred, without a definite attempt at athletic organization taking place until 1911-12. At this time quite a few ot the boys were developed well enough to gain reputations in regional competition. Among these were listed: Tony Miller, Harry Gorman, Fly Lawless, Roy Gorman, Hugh Larkin, Walter Marshall, Bot: Baldwin, Nat Sterner, Charles Kantner, Charles Roberts, Doc Jacohy, Bill Collihan, Joe Geary, Vvalter Stephens, and others. Again there came a lapse. A suhsequent revival of athletics was made in 1916- 17-18, when Diclc Fox, Theodore Beaumont, Dan Moriarity, Archie Larkin, Edmund Whims, Jack Herring, Jack Brown, Russel Holshue, Christian Miller, John Buchanan, and several others led the movement. The class of 1922 is credited with the next attempt to organize a definite scheduled program and this is really the beginning of the modern era. Baseball, haslcethall, and football, brought out the talents of the following students: Leo Chylalc, Bruce Beaumont, Theo. Chylaclc, Michael Karmazin. John Reese, Francis xwfvellcer, Otto Miller, Bert Morrison, Clarence Johns, Henry Davis, Stanley Miller, William Griffiths, Tom Short, Luther Montgomery, Peter Chylalc, Amza Ferreloee, G. Dedalites, E. Buchanan, D. Chadwick, VV. R. Super, and J. Gorman. Several hoys in this group, from the class of 1924, f0l'l'Iled the nucleus around which athletic teams centered for the next two years, and there has been hut one short lapse since that time tseason of 19261. The team of 1925 boasted of wearing the first football uniforms to he purchased by the high school, and there has been a gradual improvement in the management ot athletics since that time. Now after a decade of organized sports we can appreciate the lack oi facilities and programs in the past, and look forward to a new regime, new opportunities. and new records in a new Saint Clair High School.

Stempien's great open field blocking made it possible for the run. The center of time line co-operated in liolding time Havenite's in their own territory all afternoon. At Cressona time weight and numbers advantage was on our side, and Cressona was beaten 32-0. The second team played most of the game and some promising material was uncovered. Huplca, Rhodes, Padamonsicy, Suctilco, Leone, were a few who performed excellently. At Fraclcville our club was defeated 26-0 on a windswept field, witli the temperature hovering at zero. The old story was again repeated. After outplaying the Fracics for time first hall' substitutions and injuries caused the craclc-up. Final score 26-0. Branclx was defeated 28-O in a game that was reminiscent of Cressona. The advantage was on our side. Howels ran 80 yards for one score and Conlen, Mooney, Honiclcer. and Stempien gained at will.

Vvith a championship to defend and a traditional quality to match, the St. Clair High School hail players once more came up to expectations. hiinor failures do not dim the honor of winning the Northern Division Championship of the Scholastic League. Rather, the team feels that it never ciici reach its highest peak of performance. The loss through injury, of Eci. Sicuhish. the scintillating shortstop and heavy hitter, almost proved too high a hurciie to get over, at the heginning of the season. However, Captain Jones raiiieci his forces, and with Honicicer proving a capahie replacement in the short-field, cirove them on through another successful campaign. The two losses to our friendly jinx, Cass Township and the hair-raising play- off game with Porter Township the Southern Division winner, were the Hies in our ointment of complete happiness. The team concedes victory to these rivals hut not superiority. Page Sex eniy-one THE 193 CLAIRIAN Captain Jones led the hitting with a remarkable performance of .620, as well as earning the reputation as an infielder seldom found in schoolboy ranlcs. He was ahly assisted hy his fellow seniors Hermu Gawley, Tom Stone, George Huplca and Bill Post. They will be hard to replace, hut an optimistic group of aspirants are ready for the effort. The pitching staff performed wonderfully. The loss of Bill Post hy graduation will be soothed by the realization that Dave Hinchey, Stan Slcearton, and Vvahby will he hack on the mound to climax their careers with sterling exhibitions. The work of Hinchey has been especially fine and he is determined to surpass even our greatest expectations this year. Line-up IB. Crawley, Hudit LF. Stone 2B. Jones C.F. Holden, Stempien S.S.

The charming group of leaders adopted and introduced several new cheers and yells, which were received with enthusiasm. As there were no home games scheduled in football, the use of these cheers was practically limited to the pep meetings in the auditorium. But nevertheless the girls managed to appear at out- of-town games, to lead the faithful followers of the Red and Blue in the support of their team. The team appreciated this sterling loyalty, and responded with splendid efforts. The enthusiasm reached its pealc during the week ol the Shenandoah game. This was the last contest of the season, and a gigantic pep rally was held. The walls of the auditorium fairly trembled with the vibrations. There were cheers, songs, speeches, cheers, and still more cheers. The emotional reaction to this demonstration was definite. The large crowd that followed the team to Shenandoah the next day was proud of the fine exhihition that our boys put forth. Undoubtedly good cheer-leading produces results. The co-operation afforded the members of this year's group was a great factor in the team's success. We are confident that the 1937-38 season will realize even greater triumphs in athletic competition, hut not without the aid of our spirit-raising corps. Miss Ray was the advisor of this group.

HE Gym Team, which has just ended its third year of activity, occupies a fore- most position in the Saint Clair sport-iight. George Vviiiiams and Niary Fitz, the captains of this year's popular gymnastic group, realized that the task of improving upon the work of the teams of the two previous years, would he quite ditticuit. The first team organized, and led hy John Thomas and Ruth Evans, performed creditahty, hut the team of 1955-56 reached greater heights. Under the ieadership of Joe Scanlan and Anna Zeiwaiic, this club appeared at Bioomshurg and East Stroudsburg Teachers Colleges, where it met the most formidable type ot competition and made a fine showing. The feat ot' winning the ustate Prize in dancing featured our team's performance at the latter place. To match this record, the aspirants for the team of 1956-57 determined to devote every ounce of energy they possessed. The lack of the necessary apparatus prevented the possihiiity of a complete gymnastic routine, hut in spite of this the team at least became acquainted with apparatus Work by visiting the gymnasiums ot several nearby high schools. Such a situation emphasized the great need and the keen anticipation of a well-equipped athletic plant of our own. Nevertheless, the determination to succeed carried Coach Sterner's 1956-57 edition over all these ohstacies. THE 1951 CLAIRIAN Page Seventy four femm I QW!!

Fehruary 4, and the exhibition was well receivecl. Four other scheduled perform- ances were listecl. Blythe Township High School was the scene ot the seconci appearance, followed by the Annual Exhibition at home, February 25th ancl 26th. After this the team traveled to Bloomshurg ancl East Stroudsburg to compete once more against the leading high schools of the state. The results of these meets are not as yet cieterminecl as this material goes to press, but the stuclents anti friends oi Saint Clair High School wish hir. Sterner anti his proteges the hest ot success in their ettorts. Other than the captains, the veterans whose abilities are lost clue to gracluation are Pushcarovich ancl Uciut, participants in the girls' events, and Conlen, Vrahel, ancl Hercha of the boys' team. The task of replacing such seasoned artists is certainly a ciifticult one. The outlook for 1957-58 is unusually bright, because of the increasing interest in the lower classes, anti the increasing interest in the lower classes, and the discovery ot fine Freshman material. Apparently, the future gymnastic teams ot' the school will ascend even greater heights in their quest ot athletic honors.
