She has been a faithful and de- pendable friend and a vigilant keeper over us from infant Freshmanhood to proud Seniorhood. J Therefore, as a token of our sincerest gratitude, we, the Class of 1945, dedicate to Mrs. Sara K. Kistler this, the fifth edition of The Laurel , which is our most able expression of the respectful appreciation we owe her! i3l E43 Our School Here We meet as kin and comradeg Here sweet friendships intertwineg Here We girded for Life's battleg Alma Mater, Mater Mine! To us of the Class of '45, it is an ex- ceptional privilege here to recall the will and spirit of sacrifice that led the mem- bers of the Board of Education and tax- payers of Black Creek Township to erect, for her future sons and daughters, 5 one of the Bnest of American high school buildings. B. C. T. H. S. was completed in 1938. Since that day, not a few students, des- tined in after years to be called great men, here began their climb to honor, fame, and glory. H What high school can boast of a truer spirit of loyalty and sacrifice on the part of her pioneer builders, her student body, her alumni, her faculty, and her friends! ' 450 af gf it its QE, as A35 Fo lo Oli M C617 Board Of Directors It is a great honor for us of the Class of 1945 to be able to present the Board of Directors of our school in this edition of The Laurel . We do this in a spirit of sincere thankfulness and apprecia- tion. A It is proper for us to consider these men, since they have done so much for us. These efficient and enthusiastic men, in their cheerful way, have striven to make every day of our school .life a most profitable and pleasant foundation for our future success. They, with no obligation, have assumed additional responsibilities along with their usual occupations. They have sacrificed timeg they have Worked diligently and provided us with those necessities which are required for a good education. We thank these, our benevolent directors, for all they have done, and We trust their efforts, in our behalf, will not be Without reward. We Wish them continued success in the direction of the education of ' our youth. 6'l i Principal a J. ED. SCHNEIDER, B. S. Mathematics, Science, Physics To help others is the aim of all true scholars. Kind and pleasing personality. Jovial manners. Principal's Message Upon the successful completion of your course of study as prescribed by our schools, I feel that the achievement of this honor amply repays the sacrifices made by those who are interested in your welfare. Nevertheless, I who have your interests at heart, 'feel that I Would, indeed, remiss if I did not once more place before you some of the treasures which I Want you to take With you on your journey into the future. I would also call your at- tention to some of the things better left behind than packed and carried along. I urge you as you go forth from' the study hall you have known so Well, to accept the challenge for which your school has prepared you. You may not have thought much about this as yet, but it is a subject really worthy of your careful consideration. As you grow more and more mature, you will come to have an increasing respect and sincere regard for those who have accept- ed the same challenge and a deepadmiration for the manner in which these individuals have faced their problems and met them, how they have carried their burdens, and the success they merited and achieved. If there have been those who have failed in the past for any reason, ,re- solve highly to avoid repetition of that Which is better not repeated. If there have been examples of courage and rare vision and sturdy effort to compass worthy things, carry that standard high and never lower it. It is your privilege, also, to uphold the honor of your Alma Mater and your family name, and to see to it that no tarnish ever touches them through you. ' I would charge you with courage-courage to analyze and to criticize yourselves-courage to prompt-courage to be fair and just. ' May you ever be mindful of these exhortations in assuming your re- sponsibilities as useful citizens in a nation abounding with opportunities. V MR. SCHNEIDER. l7l IRENE N. MUNSON, B. S.

This long-awaited day in September of the year 1941 had finally arrived. We were desirous of the splendid opportunity of an ad- vanced education. What a jolly and merry group of sixty-five boys and girls, wandering about the spacious halls in our new high school! Its doors were wide open to us-Wide open to receive us into the new world of higher knowl- edge. Realizing the advantages of class officers, we elected them so the students of our class could enjoy the advantages of a compact student or- ganization, with close cooperation between ad- ministration, faculty, and students. The activ- ities which were to be held were used to serve and develop the personality of the students as a whole. Soon good news came to us. Just think! We were to be guests at a Farmer's Party given by the Sophomore Class. We could hardly wait until that evening came. The girls attired in green dressesg the headdress was a green crepe- paper bow. The boys wore green bow ties. Why the color green! That was to signify, well, that we were simply green . Then came the fun! Initiation! As we were marching and singing How Green I Am to the tune of How Dry I Am , We were given our initiation. Some tried to duck g nevertheless, it did no good, for the consequences were even more severe. f 10 Before our first year came to a close, we pur- chased our class pins. We enjoyed our Freshman year to the great- est extent, feeling well satisfied that we acquired our basic knowledge and were well prepared for our trip to the next stepping stone as Sophisti- cated Sophomores. Although we did not see all the faces of our old acquaintances in our Sophomore Year, we still remained merry and jolly in endeavor- ing to illustrate our beneficial examples to the new Freshman Class. We were, though proud, still unfortunate in our Sophomore year due to the fact that we lost one classmate and companion, Charles J. Bishop, to Uncle Sam-and also our efficient coach, physical education instructor, and science teach- er who succeeded in leading the student body to many goals-Mr. Glenn A. Ansabach. Mr. Silvio J. Tolotti was to replace our outstanding teacher. As is the custom, we held an Autumn Party to welcome the Freshies into our school as well as to make new acquaintances. We also held a roller-skating party, which was well at- tended. During the latter part of the year, we rejoiced at the approach of good news. We were per- l mitted to purchase our class rings this year in- stead of waiting until we were Juniors. We selected them upon the arrival of a jeweler. We didn't receive them, though, until sometime after the close of the school term. We began our Junior year by electing class officers who were to lead us as successfully as we had been led in the two previous years. Without any matters of great importance to consider, we planned to have a grand time at a theatre party which will never be forgotten. We went to see the movie In Our Time which was being shown at the Capital theatre. Since we were not all able to go on one truck, we went on two. The gang from Weston, Fern Glen, Nuremberg, and Gowen, we believe, had the better time. This crowd went on a coal truck covered With a canvas tarpaulin which, incidentally, had large perforations fholesl here and there. We wouldn't have minded that, but that night it poured down ! The canvas was not at all stable, therefore we had to hold it up with our arms as posts. When one's arm had become tired, Hop! The canvas would come down on our heads. The rain seeped in through the holes, thus adding to our suitable title of Amphibious Juniors . At last the time came! We arrived in Hazletong we parked beside Schultz's Garage. Knowing that we looked like an accident on its way to happen, we rushed over to the adjoining garage to comb. We used the windows as mirrors. After waiting until everyone was ready, we ambled down to the theater. Having enjoyed the movie immensely, we pro- ceeded to Knotty Pine . There we dined and danced. We wonder if the waitresses became provoked when they were annoyed by the con- tinuous buzz of the buzzer. Now we were confronted with the problem of considering plans for a way to acquire suffi- cient money in order to give the Seniors a hardy farewell at the annual J unior-Senior Prom. We accomplished this task easily by sponsoring a Bingo and Dance to which the public responded exceptionally well. During the course of the year, we formulat- ed all our plans for the publication. of our Junior Journal entitled The Maroon and Gold . We have almost reached our goal in that we are now Dignified Seniors, a title to which we thirty-six' boys and girls, remnants of the original sixty-five, have lived up, even to the very last day. We began our Senior year with vim and vigor. First of all, we elected class officers who were to lead us through one of our most important llll years. These leaders, together with our class adviser, Mrs. Sara Kistler, are meritous of our sincere gratitude. These leaders are: Gene Parolini, president, Carson Shank, vice-presi- dentg Doris Chyko, secretary, Betty Timko, treasurer. With the aid of these officers and our adviser, we selected and produced our first play, a farce-comedy, entitled Everybody's Crazy , written by Jay Tobias. With a great response from the public, our play wa-s quite successful. . Then we held several ,Jitney dances, sold chances, Christmas Cards, 'and sponsored sev- eral Bingo parties. All these affairs were a great success because of the assistance and coopera- tion of our class oflicers, student body, .and the public. After these affairs, we selected a staff for the publication of The Laurel . This we dedicated to our class adviser, Mrs. Sara Kistler, to whom we felt indebted for her helpful guidance, her ready assistance in all our undertakings, and also, for her pleasing personality. With the publication of our year book being completed, We realized that we were ready for Class Night .-Then Baccalaureate Services- and at last the great day-a sad but joyful day- Commencement-the day on which we received our diplomas, significant of the knowledge we have gained-our specialized course prepared for success in our careers to be chosen with our cultural features prepared for greater satisfac- tion in living. One mishap befell us in this our last year. Our Science and Civics teacher and gym instruc- tor has gone to participate in this present war so that our free educational system may long be preserved. With all his teachings and fine favors har- bored in our hearts, the student body and fac- ulty presented him with a gift as a token of our esteem. We surely will miss those exciting in- tra-mural games which he has always conducted! We have been graduated with leadership qualities, a genuine interest in people, good in- tellectual ability, and a well-rounded personality -a good high school education from Black Creek Township High School that is fitted to render satisfactory services and great success in all phases of our future social and community life. With joy and sadness mixed, we descended from the stage where we have been pronounced alumni of Black Creek Township High School. Though we have received the final award, our diplomas, from our dear old Alma Mater, this does not mean We wouldn't be assembled again. Soon after we convened for the last time to go on our long desired trip to New York. Helen Applegate Phyllis Applegate Doris Bergamo Tootie Phil Daisy .

Class Prophecy As the class of 1945 wends its Way carelessly, but with an air of mys- tery enshrouding it, into the Ye Little Gypsy Tearoomn, just a few minutes from Times Square, New York City, their faces show an unaccustomed ser- iousness regarding the uncertainty of the minutes to come. A sweet looking gypsy maiden motions toward several tables and they are seated. In the dim atmosphere of the tea-room the familiar faces of one's classmates seem strange. Even their adviser, Mrs. Kistler, and the principal, Mr. Schneider, have a queer feeling even though they are accus- tomed to such strange meetings. From somewhere in the dim background, tea seems magically to appear and the class sips it thoughtfully, not daring to break the-.deep silence that somehow brings a tingle to their spine. Now that their tea has been drunk, a Gypsy woman appears to read their tea leaves. As she looks into the first cup, she sees a New York stage Where Tommy Eisenman leads his own band by playing his clarinet. As the tempo of the music slowly drifts from waltz time to a fascinating rhumba, who should appear but the now famed singer, Doris Bergamo, doing her imi- tation of Carmen Miranda. Sitting in the front row Watching these bewildering changes are Elmer Poncheri and Aaron Steiner. As our glances wander through the audience, whom should We see but Corporal Lewis Eckrote, a mechanic in the'Air Corps. Their faces beam with pleasure at seeing the success of their pals. Now the scene shifts to the waiting room of a brokerage office where a sedate secretary, Catherine I-Iornick, is receiving prospective buyers. In answer to the buzzer on her desk, she enters the inner ofhce, with note book in hand, to take dictation from her employer, Gene Parolini, who is the chief executive of Wall Street. Uncle Sam with outstretched hands has beckoned to many. Those who have answered the call are June Francisci, Yeoman lfc, stationed in San Francisco, and Cpl. Theresa Pongratz of the Marines, stationed in Virginia. Their training at Black Creek High School has prepared them well for the services they are now rendering their country. At the Almedia Airport, San Francisco, California, amidst roaring motors and noisy throngs of passengers is Betty Timko, brief case in hand, boarding a Trans-Continental passenger plane. She is taking important blue prints of a new secret weapon to the War Department in Washing- ton, D. C. Seeing to the comfort of all her passengers is Irene Hama, doing her duty as an air hostess. To the surprise of Betty and Irene, who should be aboard the plane but their former classmate Pfc. Stephen Rusnock, who is going home on leave from a camp in California. I see land, lots of land! Well, if it isn't Phyllis Applegate and her farmer husband tilling the soil. She is now the owner of a Hfty acre,tract of land in Sugarloaf. In her own beauty salon, Ruth Brandstatter is Waving the hair of Lorraine Wittig, who is getting beautified to meet her soldier friend, now home on leave. When she meets the train, she spies three former classmates, in the uniform of the U. S. Cadet Nurse Corps, greeting their families. These f13l smartly dressed nurses are the recent graduates: Doris Chyko, Doris Price, and Betty Lou Brighthaupt. Here comes a jeep! There goes a tank! Say, what goes on? Well, I'll be, if that isn't Lorraine Marhelko being pushed in a wheel barrow onto a makeshift stage, which is really the back of an army truck, where she will entertain the boys. She is touring army camps overseas, and she surely is enjoying herself. Click! Click! Click! go the telegraph keys in a Western Union office. The pert looking operator is Betty Rossi. She's just received a message from Catherine Enama, S lfc, stating that she will arrive home on the fol- lowing day. Evelyn Mummey, now married to Henry Croll, is all excited about get- ting her home redecorated by the prominent interior decorator, Jane Nicolodi. The home is ,to be decorated in a new modernistic design. There goes that song again . . . Well, if it isn't Marie Martini enter- taining servicemen at the U. S. O. Club while she is patiently awaiting a certain soldier from overseas. Zigmond Maciekowich, happily married to Joan Enama, is backing the boys by working on his father's farm to increase production. He has dis- covered a new chemical formulafor stimulating plant growth which will greatly increase agricultural production. Chief Justice, Leo Leskovistch, is slowly walking up to the White House balcony, to greet John Romanofsky, who will proudly display his new invention of a tractoplane. This plane has done much toward the progress of farming. Thelma Shaffer is now a hat- check girl in an exclusive night club. Here she rubs shoulders nightly with celebrities of the stage and screen. Look, here come Van Johnson and Dennis Morgan! Why, they're talking to her! Oh, well, Thelma is one of the luckier girls. Janice Wright, pointer in hand, is instructing a second grade class in spelling. Although it is rather nerve racking at times, she enjoys her work. Her work proves all the more interesting because some of her pupils are the children of former classmates. Dorothy Zehner and Bernadine Webster are sharing an apartment and keeping the home fires burning While their husbands are fighting overseas. They are employed in a parachute factory. Marie Klesh, an ambitious housewife, is having a grand time furnishing her new home while her husband, who has been honorably discharged from the army, is working in a local defense plant. Early to bed and early to rise is Carson Shank, who is living what he thinks is the ideal life-on his farm. He also acts as an auctioneer for neighboring farmers in his spare time. Why here's another nurse! It's Dorothy Boyder caring for wounded veterans. Her jesting ways are sure to keep them in high spirits. Last, but not least, we see Helen Applegate acting as a file clerk for The Better Business Bureau in Philadelphia. Always punctual and effi- cient, she performs her work well. Having foretold the future, the gypsy silently slips away and the class sits enchanted. Meditating in' silence for a few minutes, they slowly come back into the present. As the veil of mystery arises, the faces of friends and classmates vividly return to reality. Suddenly they realize it has only been a prophecy, and in their usual hurried manner, make ready to leave the tea room, though clouds of wonder still shroud their minds. ' E191 Class Will Glancing back .over our long-remembered memories, it seems as if it were just yesterday that We were seen performing our daily tasks. During the course of our four years, we have had so many inspirational incidents of which, prior to this time, we thought nothing. Today we consider these trivial characteristics as our most valuable assets. We feel our leaving would not be complete, however, without a few hand-outs of these treasured memories. We do hope that those who take advantage may follow the path which we have so carefully prepared. We, the Senior Class of '45 proudly present these Hand-Outs to give you all a start, but we hope you will receive them in the same spirit they are offered.

Through- out the year there have been few activities in which the Juniors have not been well represented. When it comes to full-hearted cooperation in bond rallies and other charitable activities around B.C.T.H.S., they are all in there pitching . During their Freshman year they bought class pins and selected Blue and Gold as their class colors. They made very successful hosts when they ,Crave their Freshman Initiation Party, which was well at- tended. This year they accomplished ,favorable results with their Bingo and Dance which was held for the purpose of raising funds for' the customary Senior Farewell Party . Their main ambition is to make this... their outstanding event of the vear, a Efeat success. b E2-'Zl PAJOVICH In athletics both the ,sfirls and boys have proved their ability. Their whole-hearted support is given in class competition and in intrarnurals. They Waste no time or energy. and no obstacle can veil their determination. The Junior boys are the future basketball team, and deserve the compliments of all basketball fans. lSome of the girls are members of the 'varsity cheerleaders whose- captain is Doris Bergamo, a Senior. Intellectually. they have a very high record which has been proven. Ln their Junior Journal, Blue and Gold Issue , they proved their ability and talent in the fields of art and literature. To the girls and boys Who possess such fine qualities and talent, we truly wish success as the future Seniors of Black Creek High School. We do hope you, the ,Class of '46, take advantage of our accomplishments and mistakes so that you may attain your goal. Back Row:-C. Fisher, J. Lawrence, W. Lindenmuth, V'. Pallaver, R. Eckrote, R.

In the fall of 1944, we aga-in saw this group entering, minus several members, as it now consists of forty-six hard working students. The Sophomores began their second vear. by holding a Good Luck Party on October 13, 1944, to welcome the Freshies into our midst. The faculty and the entire student .body of the high school were cordiallv invited to attend. This was the first great task they bald undertaken, but they came through with Uiiying co ors . The members of the Class of '47 have shown their cooperation. outstanding scholastic ability, and athletic enthusiasm. In truth, they have offered a great deal of competition to upper classmen in playing intra- murals. They have aided in Hpepping up our basket- ball team by their representation in the Pep Club and ' L 231 cheering Squad. Their attendance and encouragement at basketball Eames and school affairs have been con- sidered of the best. When assembly programs are provide-d, the attraction of the Sophornores can be seen on the stage. Their ability in selecting in-terestinsr programs is noticed by the audience. , With the help of their adviser. Miss Hart. who has shown the greatest patience and understanding, they have successfully won the second round of their deter- mined journey to that' desirable point+Graduation. We do hope their record of success will be retained in the-ir Junior and IS-enior years. We are proud to have you in the student body.

By the time the nine o'clock bell rang, a group of forty-six timid pas- sengers had alighted and eagerly had entered the B. C. T. H. S.'s doors that were wide open to them. New faces, inexperienced but willing to try, surveyed their new home, found a suitable spot, and soon organized a class. With their capable and faithful adviser, Miss Bott, and class officers, they progressed rapidlyg it soon became evident that the upper classmen would have to exert themselves to. keep ahead of the new ones. However, like all- newcomers , they had many perils to -overcome. The early experiences were hard, but fine sportsmanship was certainly E 24 l Img- . ............................ L. HAMA BRUGGER portrayed especially at the annual initiation party given by the Sophomore class. Because of the large enrollment, the class has been divided into two sections, each in different rooms. Nevertheless, the separation haslzft pre- vented them from getting together as they have already purchased class pins, hats, and have sponsored a successful Valentine Party. The Freshmen have been very progressive and have shown eager enthusiasm in basketball, and a spirit of good-will and cooperation throughout the year. There was no phase of the school ac- tivities in which this class was not ably repre- sented. . These are the Freshmen who, we are certain, will develop into the Class of 1948. A 4' . T r .

T reasurer - MRS. IRENE N. MUNSON The Pep Club was organized live years ago by Mrs. Irene Munson for the purpose of de- veloping a greater and more enthusiastic school spirit among the student body of B. C. T. H. S. With the passing of years, the aims and scope of this organizaztion have been broadened to in- clude Dramatics, Sports, Welfare, Publicity, Library, and Social Affairs. At present there are forty-four members. These girls possess pep, poise, and personality. They are always willing to undertake stupendous tasks and are always well represented in school activities such as the promotion of Stamp and Bond sales. Committees have sponsored War- Bond drives and have made it possible for the school to purchase a flying-jeep . From these forty-four girls, two squads of J ay-Vee cheerleaders have been chosen who have shown their ability with their snappy cheers which spur the Jay-Vee team on to victory. The Pep Club has sponsored a number of outstanding events during the year. Perhaps the most important one was the 'Nitiation Party E30-l at which time a buffet lunch was served, games played, and all new-comers were initiated. Their regalia for a week consisted of boys' neckties and signs. Those Who disobeyed were obliged to wear their clothes reversed for the length of time they had disobeyed. They took their punish- ment in a quiet manner. For Christmas they had a Roast Beef Supper and a party after school. What a feast! The girls exchanged gifts, played games, and invited the student body to dance later in the evening. Everyone had a joyous time. A Valentine Party was held which also proved to be a successful occasion. Thus the influence of the Pep Club is felt in all phases of school life. It is the sincere wish of the Class of '45 that this fine group of girls will continue in its many activities and will be an inspiration to future classes. May this organization grow larger, and its achievement peak grow higher in future years. pg? of Q5 We kim -egg? Q Q35 so N Ol M pa 447 , !? P ,J A .. Q v . m . I' , p Cheerleaders Left to Right:4B.

And they're ready for the fight! As in previous years, We have emphasized school spirit through the aid of cheerleaders. These peppy little hep cats had an addition to their squad this year, as the total membership is now nine. Due to the war, the cheerleaders found it difficult to obtain transporta- tion to their destinations, but when you're as determined as they are, you'll get there regardless. The cheerleaders have shown their patriotism, too, in many ways. .They are always ready to meet up with all situations. Just as long as they have pep, vim, vigor, and vitality they are satisied. A streak of Blue and Gold, a signal of Hep-hep! from Captain Doris Bergamo to her Privates, and they are off: Blue and Gold! Fight! Fight! Blue and Gold! Fight! Fight! Who iight? You fight! Blue and Gold! Fight! Fight! Fight! ' Long after the winning ball goes through the basket, their cheers are ringing through the rafters. Through victory or defeat, they keep up the morale of the players as Well as the basketball fans. You'll find them sticking together in fair or stormy weather. We hope this same spirit will prevail throughout the coming years. Through fine sportsmanship of these snappy Blue and Gold girls, success has been accomplished in the field of sports. l31l Back Row:-R. Calvello, M. Lawrence, W. Lindenmuth, C. Rittenhouse, G.

Coach Lou Bertoldi has had a fairly good season with his boys on the hardwood court. The team won 11 games and lost 14 during the past sea- son. The most thrilling victory of the 'season was that over a veteran team, Nuremberg High School, that was to be the outstanding team of the Mountain League. Before a capacity crowd, the Blue and Gold cagers Won 34-33. The Rockets finished fifth and third in the first and second halves of the Mountain League. Weath- erly finished first in the league for the second consecutive season. As the final Whistle of the Foster Township game sounded, the boys Went off the floor to take the last shower of the basketball season. For three seniors it was the last shower not only of the season, but also of their high school career. These Seniors were: Rusnock, fast, high-scoring forward, Petrouskie, six-foot capable centerg Maciekowich, a curly-headed forward and one of the best defensive men on the team, early in the season Poncheri, a dark, husky lad, received a leg injury which compelled him to abandon basketball for the remainder of the year. Aiding these Rocket Cagers were , Helosky, blonde guard with a knack for long shots, Mc- Gran, diminutive but eager guardg Milot, smooth, efficient, promising Sophomore, Nenstiel, effec- tive, slippery guard, Rittenhouse, fleet-footed guard, Lehman, tall, rangy Cagerg Hudock, a tall Junior, who expects to see a lot of action next year. These were the fellows who fought to bring honor to B. C. T. H. S. Built around these boys, the 1944-45 basket- ball team established a commendable record. We wish to leave you, the team and our faith- ful coach, Mr. Bertoldi, with our best wishes for many successful seasons to come. 5321 Jan. Jan. Jan Jan.

'How can we help obtain that victory? By buying War Bonds and -Stamps! That is ex- actly what we have done. Through the cooperation of the students and faculty of Black Creek Township High School. we have reached our goal which provided for the pur- chasing of a dying jeep. The classes did their utmost, and faculty purchased whole-heartedly in order to reach our goal. X Class competition during the campaign was very keen. For the two successive years that we have sponsored drives, the Class of '45 has 20119 Over the top. Through the purchasing of bonds and stamps, our class has succeeded in choosing two victory queens and a victory king. - In our Junior vear, Doris Price was chosen by the class as victory queen. This year again we have gone over the top. Thus, Theresa Pongratz became victory queen and Thomas Eisenman, victory king. May the students always work so that all their goals may be attained.

This brave hero, who died for our country, was class treasurer during our Freshman year. Suddenly, war came to this grief-stricken world-the attack on Pearl Harborg Jen just couldn't resist the temptation of joining the armed forces, so he enlisted in the United States Navy. Our class dreaded to se-e him leave us, and we missed him very much. Jen was popular with our class, for he had a pleasing personality and a smiling disposition. Then that one dreadful day brought news that he was reported missing. Many t-ears were shed, but we still had hopes of his being alive. Finally, after a long period of Waiting, con- firmation of his death Was received from the United States Government. The Class of '45 deeply regrets that he, as a member of our class, had to pay the supreme sacrifice for his country. We sincerely hope that his sacrifice has not been in vain.
