3' President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, GENE PAROLINI CARSON SHANK DORIS CHYKO BETTY TIMKO Senior History Alas! 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.
