Here many of the subjects found in the curricula of the school of today were taught. Grammar, rhetoric, Greek and Latin literature, history, mathematics and drawing were included in the programs of the ancient schools. The Dark Age of history caused the loss of many of the fine prac- tices of the Roman and Greek, philosophers, but the Renaissance, or revival of learning, reawakened, to a certain degree, the curriculum of Roman times. With the passing of time, the program of the earliest era was re- tained. Science was added to the list of studies, together with modern literature and physical studies. In colonial days, the American college was little more than a second- ary school. The primary schools were usually crude buildings with few facilities. Only a comparatively short time ago, the elementary and sec- ondary schools were combined as one, and in many instances several grades were taught in the same room. . Ei The need for a division of classes and a classification of subjects has been realized by modern educatorsiand the secondary school of today is far superior to the colleges of the past. In our own school, Progress is in evidence. Not only have the sub- jects been classihed under different heads, but also the courses offered by the school have been divided into departments. Students are afforded the opportunity of choosing that course which they believe will suit their intended occupation upon leaving school. They may be trained either in preparation for college, for entrance into the business world, or in a cultural course. Upon entrance into the new building, the students of the Saint Clair school system are promised even greater opportunities, and as a result one can foresee the development of finer citizens, of men and women stronger in both mind and body, of men and women who will take their place in the world fearing none and challenging all. f I .

University of Pennsylvania Lambda Chi Alpha, HIS issue of the Clairian has been published in honor of a most signifi- cant and important step in the educational progress of Saint Clair. Rec- ognizing the social demands upon the educational system occasioned by a changed economic order, the Board of Education has completed the first project in its plan to provide a useful modern education for all of the boys and girls in Saint Clair. In financing and supervising the erection of the new High School Build- ing the citizens of the community, especially the members of the Board of Education, have made tremendous sacrifices. Such manifestations of faith in youth surely will be followed by proof that the confidence in boys and girls has been well placed. With conscious, appreciative effort to become worth- while members of democratic society, let our students hail the beginning of a new era in educational growth! :Si-8 ' THE CLAIRIAN OF PROGRESS 3 V933 The Principal ELLWOOD SAYLOR BODENHORN.

University of Pennsylvania Biology Chemistry HEN we study the history of Saint Clair High School for the past ten years, we must note the number of students, the size of the faculty and the courses that have been added to the curriculum. ln 1927 there were approximately 240 pupils enrolled in the High School. The faculty was composed of 6 teachers and the High School occu- pied five rooms. Today, there is an enrollment of 626, the faculty has been enlarged to l6 teachers, and the High School uses I5 rooms. ln i927 the High School offered two courses-Academic and Commer- cial: today an additional course, the General, has been added. Several new subjects have been added during this decade, namely, Phy. Ed., Health, Spanish, Commercial Mathematics. The High School is looking forward to occupying its newly erected High School Building consisting of twenty-four rooms, an enlarged Library, Sci- ence Laboratories, Shop, Gymnasium and Domestic Science Room. An en- larged faculty will greet the pupils, and two new courses, Manual Training and Domestic Science, will be added to the curriculum. l Page 9 -if 3: as ., if it .3 Q7 i ,T i fjfiififi mil ' i ii ii 5 i' , . l:'7.'f' i. .N . . . ii? gF'fr-sf, l Nix- , A : .Aulcf x l A' i li. .f,- y .i . . . 4 , . - -A+ 4' aqtwj 3 M l 3 f 'li 'l 4'.:.'1i1. li ' bg,-Q., I 5 i-i- --.- - 11. ll r Y' 1.21 if is-5 P WISE-.ifile I I bl: ., V.

The eager support and whole-hearted cooperation of the 239 members who com- posed our original class, assured the success of any enterprise attempted. With this as a means of encouragement, we held many successful class dances, parties and other social functions. Many of our members distinguished themselves by their remark- able feats on the basketball, football, baseball and gym teams during our recess in our Alma Mater. 1 The traditional Prom that we sponsored in our Junior year,,proved to be the most glamorous and colorful event of the season. The reason for this overwhelming suc- cess can be attributed to the cooperation of our class members, the tireless efforts of the committees in charge and to the excellent supervision rendered us by our class advisors, Miss McCarthy and Mr. David Evans. The many important and arduous tasks we had to accomplish during our senior year were undertaken with an unprecedented ardent enthusiasm. ln accomplishing these, our class sponsors, Miss Ray, who had succeeded Miss McCarthy, together with Mr. D. Evans, afforded us valuable assistance. As we face life, each to his own vocation, we will aspire to succeed as well in our individual attempts, as we have done as a class in Saint Clair High School. Our motto Live to learn and learn to live will be foremost in our minds forever. Page I6 T098 ' THE CLAIRIAN OF 1 FLORENCE lVl. ADOMITIS Sparky Sparky is the happy-go-lucky individual of our class.

The Freshman Party, sponsored by the Student Council, aided us in overcoming this handicap, and we pursued our ca- reer in Saint Clair High School with greater enthusiasm and zest. Early in October, we held a meeting under the direction of our advisors, Miss Quirin and Mr. Mooney, and elected the following officers: President, Joseph War- nerg Vice President, Alice Higginsg Secretary-Treasurer, Michael Vinc. . As we continue our studies in this higher institution of learning, we will strive to accomplish great achievements for our High School and Community.

Man has always been a sportsman-Greeks in the Palaestra and the Gym- naesium throwing the discus, the spear, wrestling, leaping, run- ning, Knighthood training in the Middle Ages which emphasized outdoor activities, archery at Harrow in.1590g golf and football at Aberdeeng baseball at Worcester High School in Massachusetts in 1859. At an early stage in the development of Eton, athletics became a part of the school program. Our early colonial schools had little time for athletics. Sports were left out of the majority of schools because of the religious motive that predominated in the school and also because of the lack of time. But with the passing of time sports became an integral part of the school curriculum. Many schools added activities stressing physical education, and the great minds of the times, such as Benjamin Franklin, saw the need of and sanctioned running, leaping, wrestling and swimming. Programs of athletics were added, little by little, to the calendar of all schools until today sports have practically become a necessity to school life. In some places the athletic program is instrumental in budgeting the school's finances. Our own school has not been hesitant in the formation of athletic teams. It is to the credit of those students of the past who, despite many discouragements, went out onto the field of battle, that Saint Clair has been a pioneer in the establishing of athletics in the schools of the region. Remembrances of those dark days of the past bring many a smile and oft- times a tear, and only the participants in sport at that stage of our school history can fully appreciate the progress which has been made. In our own humble curriculum, sports of a mentionable character entered the school picture as early as 1911-1912. However, a lapse followed and not until 1922 did sports have a definite scheduled program in the school. This was really the beginning of the modern era of sport. In 1922 baseball, basketball and football were the only sports but with the succeeding years track, gymnastics for both boys and girls, and this year tennis have been added so that we now have a well rounded athletic calendar. But there is, by no means, any indication of this being the pinnacle of sports for the school. Rather, we can look ahead and see a broader expansion of athletics for Saint Clair High School, and an even greater progress in the future than has been made in the past. 1938 THE CLAIRIAN OF' PROGRESS 0 1938 l ll il lliir BASEBALL ' For the fourth consecutive year St. Clair High School's base- ball team dominated the Northern division of the Sch. County Baseball League last season. With keener opposition than in revious season, the Saints had to struggle to win the coveted crown. However, in the County Playoffs versus Porter at Tremont, the St. Clair team was defeated 3-2. The first five league games were taken in their order with little trouble being encountered. Then at Frackville, in a game packed with hits galore, the Mountaineers came out on the long end of a l3-8 score, thus necessitating a League Play-off. This game was played at the Minersville A. A. Park and was, no doubt, one of the most thrilling ever witnessed on that field. Against Porter, a pitchers' battle ensued. Saint Clair, with single counters in the second and fifth, held a lead of one run at the eighth. Porter had scored a lone marker in the with two down and a man on first Rumpf tripled scoring Updegrove from first. Rumpf scored a moment later to a 3-2 lead. ln the ninth the Saints were set down in order. Prospects for this year are encouraging and with more en- trants in the league keen competition is expected. any other p the end of third.

Page 52 BASKETBALL REVIVAL ' After a lapse of three years, St. Clair High School returned to County League maple court activities this year, and when one takes in the important phase of inexperience, the Red and Blue cagers did considerably well on the basketball court. This year was devoted primarily to a building up process with the aim of getting the underclassmen acquainted with the cage game. Allan R. Sterner performed capably as coach of the squad which consisted of five seniors, namely, Holden, Hupka, Ward, Mooney and Chrushg Art Bramley, a Junior also served as a regu- lar while underclassmen made up the balance of the squad. St. Clair High School opened its season by losing to a fast Blythe team, in the first game ever played in the new St. Clair High Gym, by a score of 33-9. Several nights later the Red and Blue came back to win a thrilling game from Cass 20-l 5. ln the team's first league game, a victory was scored versus Cirardville at the latter place 23-20. Sch. Haven was the next victim, with the Red and Blue pleasing a home-town crowd by scoring a 31 -l 7 victory. The next game, versus Ashland at home, saw another easy victory being gained, the Saints winning by a score of 28-16. Minersville was next to fall prey to the Saints' attack losing on their own floor, 32-23. The Red and Blue lost their next two en- counters versus Gilberton away, 50-25, and against Mahanoy Twp. at home, 30-l l. On January 24, the team traveled to Or- wigsburg and there defeated the Burghers in a thrill-packed game, 34-31. An interim of two exhibition games followed. The first versus Blythe at the Hilltopper Gym saw the Red and Blue wilt before a vicious at- tack and lose 43-15. Against the Alumni in a game filled with laughs and thrills the schoolboys lost again 23-21. The team returned to league warfare with a disastrous encounter against Frack- . Ai-Q. ,, 1938 - THE CLAIRIAN OF PRQGRESSE Q 1938 . ll ville High. The Mountaineers, clearly the class of the league, deluged our boys under a 61-15 score. C-irardville was defeated at home 25-22, and Sch. Haven fell before the Red and Blue at Haven 38-26. Frackville came to St. Clair in a return engagement and in a game that was a far cry from the previous affair the Saints lost 49-31. The Red and Blue outscored and outplayed the league leaders in the final half. The fol- lowing night Ashland was defeated for the second time 39-33. Minersville obtained revenge for their early season loss by trouncing the Red and Blue 40-14. Gilberton came here on Feb. 18, and, in what was probably the most thrilling game of the sea- son, defeated the home team 43-39 by virtue of two field goals in the last twenty seconds of play. On Feb. 22, the high school boys lost to Mahanoy Twp. on the Purple Larks' floor 55-16, in a game that saw the Red and Blue reach the depths of despair. The following Friday the league season was closed with a 31 -21 victory over Orwigs- burg. Two post season games were lost to W. Mahanoy Twp. the following week. The first, at home, was dropped 37-16, while the cage season was closed with a 28-26 setback on West Mahanoy's floor.

K Page 54 FOOTBALL IN The Red and Blue gridiron warriors of Saint Clair High closed what may be termed a mediocre football season. With a record of two victories and seven setbacks, the team, nevertheless, showed many bright spots. The fans who witnessed the Frack- ville game, in particular, can see the potential strength the team had. Under the careful guidance of Coach Reese, the team was whipped into shape for the first game on September IO, when the boys went to Coaldale. It was only a brilliant second quarter on the part of the Tigers that beat the Saints 6-O. The next game versus Minersville proved to be a disappointment to the team's followers, as the Miners snowed the Red and Blue under 34-O. The game at Lansford the following week showed a reversal of form. At the half-way mark, the Saints held a l4-7 lead, due to some spectacular play. They held this leading until the last few minutes of the game when the flying feet of Flvzik turned us away from a victory, the final score being 27-l4. As the gun sounded ending the game, Bob Haverty was seriously hurt. ln meeting Nesquehoning the following week, the Saints encountered one of the region's outstanding elevens. Two dis- astrous breaks in the first quarter proved our downfall. The bright spot of the game was when Hupka broke away from five would-be tacklers and pranced 72 yards for our lone touchdown: the game ending 20-6. Saint Clair played Blythe under a poor lighting system, in their next game, and a superior Blythe eleven crushed the Saints under a 38-O score. After a rest of two weeks, Porter was met and defeated at Reinerton. Playing an excellent brand of football the Saints gar- nered an early lead on some fast play. Hupka scored on a pass from Becker early in the game, Becker added the point. Soon after Howells intercepted a Porter aerial and raced 47 yards to a score. Rhoads converted. A march of 85 yards gave the team its next score. Becker made-the touchdown and added the point. Rhoads tackled a Porter man behind the goal line for the other score. 1938 ' THE CLAIRIAN OF PROGRESS 0 i938 THE LIMELIGHT West Hazleton High proved too much for the Saints the following week and snowed the team under a 33-O score. The loss was two-fold for it was in this game that Charles Russel, a back, contracted the illness that later led to his death. On Armistice Day St. Clair traveled to Frackville but due to a break early in the third period, the Mountaineers came out of the fray on the long end of a 6-O score. In the final game of the season, backed by the band, St. Clair played its arch rival, Schuylkill Haven. In the first period on the first play Mooney broke away for an 80 yard sprint to put the ball in scoring position. On a plunge Mooney crossed the wide marker, but he fumbled and Hupka recovered for a score. ln the same period Howells raced 30 yards to score. Mooney plunged for the point. In the third period the Red and Blue scored twice. Rhoads snared a pass for the one score and Mooney's plunge accounted for the other. ln this period Mooney ran 90 yards for a score but it was annulled and a penalty was given for a rule infraction. Dick McCord playing his last game showed some fancy form when he broke away, only to be tackled from behind when nearing the goal as the final whistle blew. St. Clair High watched Mooney, Hupka, Boyer, Kostrey, Captain Becker, Bulino, Panko, Rhoads, Neumeister, Trout and McCord play their last game for the Red and Blue. PERSONNEL L.E.

Page 56 GYMNASTICS IN ' For the fourth consecutive year, the Gym Team, organized by Coach Allan Sterner, occupies an interesting and outstanding position in the St. Clair sport-light. Under the leadership of John Thomas and Ruth Evans, the first Gym team performed creditably, and amazed many of our local associates. During the following year, through the efforts of the tireless workers, the team crowned itself and its Alma Mater with new laurels. ln the same year, with Joseph Scanlan and Anna Zelwalk as captains, the team performed for the first time at East Stroudsburg State Teachers College, and there, hav- ing met with stiff competition, it proved itself worthy of winning the State Prize in dancing. The next year's squad, with George Williams and Mary Fitz as captains, realized that they had a dif- ficult task before them to accomplish what their predecessors had done. This group of Gymnasts also turned in a very splendid record. Special credit should be given to the boys of last year's team. Through lack of equipment, they were handicapped and unable to practice: yet, in spite of this, they visited the gymna- siums of nearby schools, and in this way they were able to keep in constant practice. Those schools who so very kindly permitted our team to practice on their floors, have our sincere and whole- hearted thanks. February 25 and 26 the team sponsored its second annual exhibition, and a short time later it gave a similar demonstra- tion at Blythe Township High School. IF, 1938 - THE CLAIRIANA OF'PeR0-CRESS B E938 THE SPOTLIGHT l A second trip was made to East Stroudsburg, and here in competition with some of the leading gym teams in the State, our representatives upheld the tradition of their former year by again winning the prize in dancing. This consisted of the Jump- ing Rope dance, the Military Tap dance, and the Russian dance which was optional. Time, patience, skill and practice were es- sential in perfecting these intricate steps. Last year, through graduation, the team lost some of its best members, and this year will see five more graduate. Al- though it seems rather hard to replace these, Coach Sterner is confident that with the wealth of material in the lower classes, he will be able to produce equally good material. i The outlook for i937-38 is unusually bright, and this year's team is full of energy and the determination to succeed. They have made plans for entering the Gymnastic Championship at East Stroudsburg. What the outcome of this will be, we do not know, but we are confident that when the team is out for some goal it never ceases trying until victory is theirs. With' this in mind the stud s and friends of Saint Clair High School wish them succes , their quest for athletic honors.

Page 58 H FCHEERLEADERS ' These girls are eight good reasons why our cheering has reached its splendid peak. For enthusiasm and beauty, we think they are unequalled in the district. Cheer leaders are essential to every team. Many a lagging player has been rallied by our hero- ines of the megaphones. To observe their rhythm and grace in action, bespeaks constant work to perfect their technique. They work together like well drilled soldiers, yet each one is individual in charm and manner. Teamwork, so important in life, is always in evidence when they lead S. C. H. S.'s ringing cheers. A credit to the school and town, these girls have come to be our ideals in sportsmanship and honor. The Clairian salutes them, and places its hopes for bigger and better things from their successors, who should adopt not only their yells but their purpose, their enthusiasm and their ideals. BooK THREE rogrerm in Major ,jgcIfiUiLLie5 nl- 1 Progress in Major Activities DUCATORS from very earliest times have been imbued with the philosophy of not only adhering to a strict curriculum but also im- parting to their students diversions to relieve the tension of contin- uous study, and presenting to them entertainment as a means of further- ing their social behavior. ' Primitive learning was constructed around the activities of the learner. A very close relation between the types of activities and the social conditions seemed to exist from the time of their appearance in Greece. As far back as the days of Sparta, students took an active part in the administration of their school due to the fact of the development of independence in the Spartans even in earliest childhood. From time to time various activities have been added to the curricu- lum of secondary schools and as a result a more democratic institution evolves. Student government and the publication of school papers seem to be the predominant activities in our modern era, but many schools possess various activities that aid in giving the student a cultural as well as educational background. Westminister was one of the first schools to encourage dramatic activities. Penn Charter School of Philadelphia pio- neered in the publication of a school newspaper. In Saint Clair High School may be found the activities of the earlier schools and to the list has been added several organizations which, it is believed, will benefit the student body. The Student Council gives the student a voice in the administration of the school. The school newspaper has always been received in a welcome manner byithe pupils. The Dramatic Club, French Club, Mathematics Society, Business Training Club, and the Band have all aided in the development of the students of the school. These various organizations have imparted to their members some- thing that they would otherwise not have learned, they have developed the students for social contacts that are inevitable in life, they have trained them in group activity, and they have taught them to befriend their fellowman. I The Administration foresees the formation of even broader social advantages in the future. The actual subject matter will be so augmented by social training that each individual will be fitted to take his place in the world as a gracious as well as a well-trained citizen.

Page 59 l T938 ' THE CLAIRIAN- OF .PROGRESS ' ' STUDENT PARTICIPATICN IN STUDENT COUNCIL Page 60 ' Government is a trust, and the officers of the government are trustees: and both the trust and the trustees are created for the benefit of the people. How well these words of Henry Clay express what the Student Council of the Saint Clair High School is doing. The student body elects their own trustees in the form of home-room representatives who meet every week to discuss and make plans which will further the interests of the students as a whole, and to solve the problems of the students both social and academic. Many times the discussions of the Council are misunderstood, but after concentrated thought, the students quickly agree they were for their best interests. The Council made great strides during the past year. Many of their accomplishments cannot be seen by the naked eye, but deep underneath there is a feeling of progress, good will, ready acceptance of suggestions, and an improved spirit of cooperation. This is very encouraging to those who have worked so hard to educate the school along a self-governing line. They feel thalt the students appreciate and desire democracy even in their own little rea m. Among the outstanding events of the year were: the Freshman Party, which proved a big social success: the sponsorship of school assemblies: the All-School danceg the annual movie eventg and the Athletic Banquet. However, the most important accomplishment this year is the privilege granted to the students to select their own candidates by means of petitions for the school offices. lt is the plan of the Council to have all people desiring to hold any office in the school to seek that privilege through the petitions given upon the approval of the officers of the Council and its advisor, and the acceptance of their capability by the faculty.

THE CLAIRIAN OF PROGRESS E938 CHOOL GOVERNMENT 2 COUNCIL COURT Who to himself is law, no law doth need, offends no law, and is a king indeed. Our journey through High School is aided by many books, teachers, con- ferences and social gatherings. But regardless of subject or course, the ulti- mate aim of our education is to develop good law-abiding citizens of our local community, county, state, and nation. Some of us find it hard to com- plete our journey without a mishap or two, so it is necessary for a little guidance so that the remainder of the journey will not be too hard to travel. lt was with this thought in mind that the Court was organized in the St. Clair High School this past year-to set straight those students who were having difficulty distinguishing between right and wrong, so that they could go through school with happier and easier minds, with greater joy in their hearts, and more life in their bodies. The personnel of the Court includes: Chief Justice, Homer Seiwellg Associate Judges, George Hoidra, Eliza- beth Ray, Theresa Conlen, Alma Baker, Samuel Leone, Mary C-wynng Clerk, Mary Kazlauskas.

The club is composed of students taking second year French. Under the guidance of Miss Healy, it has progressed marvelously. At the meetings all conversation was carried on in the French language. Customs and habits of the French people were studied and compared with those of the American people. Perhaps the most enjoyment the members received was from the corre- spondence with students in France who are studying the English language. At a time when international relationships are very strained, it is interesting to learn the views that French boys and girls have on world affairs. Through the activities of this organization, a better understanding and appreciation of the French language has been attained.

Organized and started in the fall of i936 under the patient and skillful supervision of Mr. Thomas L. Jennings, the newly chosen members en- deavored to make this first undertaking of a school band a huge success. Two years have passed, and as we watch them marching by, dressed in their jaunty red and blue uniforms, we feel a sense of pride, interest, and wholehearted respect for these youngsters. Through their efforts and co- operation, they have given to the students of their Alma Mater and to the people of St. Clair, a band of which they can boastg a band which is deter- mined to achieve its goal. A recent outgrowth of this group of musicians is the Orchestra. Perhaps not known as well as its parent organization, never- theless it is fast taking its place as one of the rnost active wide-awake move- ments in our school system.

During the past few years, the club, determined to adorn its Alma Mater with new honors, entered many contests which can now be reviewed by our proud public, as the first successful stride toward the goal of the Glee Club. Not only has its ability, progress and undaunted courage been dis- played with such outstanding accomplishment, but also the cooperation and interest of the students in such a club, has been shown by the addition of boys who have been included in this organization for the first time. Although the number of male voices is small, we feel confident that enthusiasm will do the work in helping to extend this number. i Due to the fact that the Club was entirely too large for one group, it has been divided, into three individual groups. The first, composes the Freshman- Sophomore Glee Club, which, although new and inexperienced, has been very active in responding to all suggestions with tireless efforts. The second, com- poses the Junior-Senior C-lee Club, whose training and experience enabled them to carry out the Christmas Program in an efficient and interesting manner. ' To this club, which has resolved to soar to greater attainments, we give our hearty congratulations, and our hopes for its success in its proposed undertakings.

Page 65 H933 0 'VERSE CLAIRIANQOF PROGRESS ' 1938 BOOSTER Page 66 ' Progress! Progress has been the keynote of our school paper since its innovation at Saint Clair High School in l927. The Booster, as it was named in l928, was so enthusiastically received that it was soon possible to publish a printed paper. Economy, made necessary by the depression, deemed it ad- visable to return to the less expensive mimeograph copy, and for a time, to stop publication entirely, out of consideration for the students, its sup- porters. This year the Booster again brings a printed paper designed to propa- gate its well-known ideals of stronger school spirit plus a more sympathetic outlook on current affairs. Contributions by such notables as Dr. Claude Beck, former town resi- dent and now renowned surgeon, furthered the Booster's policy of stimu- lating broader fields of interest and knowledge among its readers. Mr. Super's capable advice charted the literary course, while Miss Ray' continued to guide the destiny of the business staff. Back'Row: Miss Ray, Mr. Super.

The commercial subjects included in our present curriculum are far from being adequate to complete the knowledge one must have to face the competition in the business world today. Therefore, the commercial club supplements as much as it can, by including in its program actual problems to be solved and discussed, dramatic interpretations of situations which could become very troublesomeg instruction in the use of different office machines, and personal contact with the business world by means of field trips. But with all this additional technical knowledge the club has not lost sight of the fact that to be a success one must possess a spirit of good fellow- ship and fair play. The commercial students of the Class of l938 have shown that they have these sterling qualities by their wholehearted cooperation in making their social events a grand success, The outstanding social highlights were the Hallowe'en Party at which every member was maskedg the Christ- mas Party where every person exchanged a gift of his own making, the Val- entine Party and Initiation Serviceg the Roll Call Dinner, and the reception to the Juniors. Miss Anna T. Quirin and Miss Margaret C. Ray are the capable advisors. Back Row: Andrew Bulinog Michael Vigoda, Mary O'Brien, Sarah Kantner, Anna Kralick, Kathryn Hablett.

Instituted by twelve members under the supervision of Miss Phoebe C. Evans, it has extended its membership to include l64 persons at the present time. Membership is granted only to students of Junior standing attaining an average of at least 85fMn in mathematics. Each year at graduation, awards are given to those members having the highest average. For 1936-37, Pearl Robertson and Michael Shandor were recipients of the reward. On December 3, l937, Alpha Delta Pi sponsored a dance held in Boone's Hall for the purpose of raising money for equipment for the new Gymnasium.

BOOK FOUR O rogrew in me All ofoguing 'TTD - r Progress in the Art of Living T is well said that many people do not actually live, but merely exist. This is not necessarily due to a lack of material advantages but rather due to the lack of ability to plan a positive course in life. The Art of Living includes a firm understanding of the fundamental concepts of life that have been accumulated by the masterminds of the ages. These plans of life are flexible according to the individual and period, but throughout all ages a developed culture is essential to a worthwhile philosophy. With the progress of time the line of culture has been raised until today man must possess a wider knowledge of human events than was necessary a thousand years ago. Each age has produced those intellectual beings whose inventions and teachings have broadened man's culture. Aristotle, Buddha, Galileo, Pasteur, Shakespeare, Lenin, Lincoln, Edison and others have all left their impression in history, and their concepts have sometimes revolutionized the life of man. Life today is not comparable to the life of Primitive man, for the Art of Living has progressed so far, that stories told of Primitive man are almost incredible. Today the plane of life is so high that we cannot imagine how man lived in the Stone Age. But even then the people sought some means of improving their living conditions' and they have aided in the advancement of man. Today, many of the sciences have been mastered. Communication and transportation facilities have reached a point of veritable perfection, medicine and surgery are commonplace. Motion pictures, radiog telephone, streamlined vehicles of transportation have all become part of man's daily routine. Nevertheless, there is still room for improvement and it is the respon- sibility of the schools of the world to educate their students so that they may aid in the advancement of mankind. was - THE CLAIRIAN or Pnooaass 0 was PARENT TEACHERS ASSOCIATICN C ' Another very successful year has passed for the Parent Teachers Associa- tion of Saint Clair. Since its reorganization March l7, l936, this group has endeavored to show the people of Saint Clair the true meanings of these objectives: to promote the welfare of children and youth in home, school, church and com- munityg to raise the standards of home lifeg to secure adequate laws for the care and protection of children or youth and to bring into closer relation the home and school that parents may cooperate intelligently in the training of the child and to develop between education and the general public a feeling of unity that will secure for every child the highest advantages in physical, mental, social and spiritual education. These aims and objectives should gain the interest and respect of all the members of the community and should aid in the advancement of the youth. The following officers were elected for this year and have faithfully carried out their duties: Mrs. A. J. Mansell,'Presidentg Mrs. Lawrence Little, first Vice Presidentg Mr. J. Gwynn, second Vice President, Mrs. Haas, Treas- urerg Miss Anna Quirin, Secretary. Their program for the past few months included a Card Party, held on October 8, which proved to be successful, both socially and financially. Then a Bazaar was given on November 9 in order to bring the people more closely together. This event also deserves praise. On December 22, the Annual Christmas Party was sponsored by the Club for the entertainment of the grade children and was enjoyed by all who were present. The regular meetings of this association always attract a large attend- ance, and they never fail to discuss certain points regarding the improve- ment of the community. With proper support, their program may be carried out and they may attain the high ideals for which they are striving. The Parent Teachers Association deserves your cooperation in the accomplish- ment of these fine ideals. Page 69 , , l ll?

On August 5, 1935, the School Board held a meeting at which time the original resolution for the increase of indebtedness was passed. Septem- ber IO, 1935, a special election of the people was held and they expressed their assent by a large majority. An application to Public Works Administrators at Washington, D. C., for a Federal grant was made on August 20, 1935. The matter lagged for a time, and as a last resource the School Board, which consisted at that time of Dr. E. T. Jones, President, Dr. R. C. Could, J. J. Jacoby, Peter McCarthy, Clarence Hagan, Christian Crosskettler, and Robert Zimmerman, Jr., desig- nated Superintendent C. R. Birch, George Schmeltzer, and Bennett Williams as special emissaries to Washington. There they contacted Hon. James H. Ciildea, the District Congressman, and Hon. Joseph Guffey, United States Senator. These men, together with Judge Harold L. Paul, who was then School Solicitor, were instrumental in securing for us a Ioan, and on July 28, 1936, the School authorities were notified of the approval of their application. On August 26, 1936, the Board approved and accepted the grant and soon after work was started on the new building. SCHOOL TROPHIES, SCHOOL MATERIALS STATIONERY, PRINTING OF ALL KINDS RICHARD E.
