Brookville High School - Echo Yearbook (Brookville, PA)

Text from Pages 1 - 48 of the 1939 volume:

Foreword To the reader it has been our sole desire to offer a yearbook of which we might be proud; a clear-cut, lasting record of those ever-memorable high school days. We feel that we have at least approached our goal in this piece of work. To make this possible it has taken the kind assistance of many. We now express our sincere thanks to each and all of these: to Miss Hoffman, able faculty advisor; to Miss Dague, who supervised the typing; to Miss Ream, faculty head of the advertisement committee: to every student in the school who lent his time and talents; and. lastly, to our patrons and advertisers. It is our final wish that you may gain as much permanent happiness from scanning this book as we have in its production. Thank you.

To the Underclassmen Aspirants to the Senior Class Hail to dear old Brookville High, The school we now shall bid adieu. May her honor never die While her destiny depends on You. The “thirty-nine” class has trod her floors: Indeed, four years in her folds we've been. Studied within her classroom doors. Waded through textbooks, thick and thin. We know the standard she sets for you. Let not graduating be your mark. Nor let a seventy get you through: But on the high sea of earnest work, embark. In your four years labor here Ever pace the firing line. Hold your high school's honor dear, And-—remember the class of thirty-nine.” E. Duane Stewart Bureau of Missing Persons Washington, D. C. Office of the Secretary , February 1 1, 1949. Mr. John E. Biery, Supervising Principal, Brookville High School, Brookville, Penna. My Dear Mr. Biery:— In reply to your letter of the 5th, I have been able to glean for you the following information from the Social Security and Civil Service records, as well as the files of this bureau, to which I have access here in Washington. 1 enclose a list of addresses with remarks. As I understand it, you want to locate all the members of the class of '39, that you may invite them to be present at the dedication of the new auditorium, the gift of Allen P. Kahn, multi-millionaire Broadway producer, and social science columnist for the New York Times.” The first field 1 investigated was the entertainment field. I found that Martha Frazier and Connie Osborne appear regularly with the Boston symphony orchestra, and are heard frequently in piano duets on the Magic Key. Dave Duncan has taken the place of Johnnie on the Phillip Morris program, while Sherwood St. Clair occupies Don Wilson's former place on Jack Benny's show. On the Columbia networks, is Esther George, who now appears on Lady Esther's Serenade.” Ted Arthurs and Roland and Ronald Corbett play for Tommy Dorsey. Patty Mayes doesn't see much of her husband, who runs the Grand Central Station news stand, because she is so busy with her all-girl orchestra. Helen Summerville is her business manager. Gilbert Shilling conducts a question bee over WHJB. Greensburg. every Thursday morning at 8:30. Bill McIntyre, who croons for M. G. M., still sees Dave Hepler. an extra at Warner Brothers. Hollywood gossip says Dave sees a lot of Martha Wiley, of 20th Century-Fox. Gordon Rockey. Martha's publicity man, has built her up to a brunette Alice Faye. Bo Sandt is playing Scarlet O'Hara for the fifth year in the Broadway version of Gone With the Wind.” Virginia DeMotte has been in Italy for three years studying music. In Hollywood again, Floyd Evans has replaced a Ritz brother who recently quit the famous movie laugh trio. Quite a few members of the class have entered the education field. Ruth Jones is running a Pittsburgh business college, Nell Clark is dean of women at Smith, and Nell Frazier teaches speech at Goucher. Two years ago Dale Stahlman assumed the presidency of Vassar, and seems quite satisfied to retain the post. Estella Berkhouse and Ruth Mitchell teach French and Latin respectively in the Pittsburgh schools. Gene Foulks, very much experienced in History IV. has become a teacher of that subject in Weedville High School. Jim Sibley, as you know, teaches some of your third and fourth year math classes, as well as being B. H. S. basketball coach. Jack Thompson has taken the position left vacant at Pitt by Jock Sutherland, ten years ago, and has produced championship teams for three years now. Mary Ferraro is chief telephone operator in Wichita, Kansas, and Aldine Murray in Richmond. Virginia. Also employed by the telephone company is Ronald Kennedy, who is a lineman in California. Edmond Sellers works at the Niagara Falls power plant. Eugene Grubbs is head mechanic at the Chevrolet plant in Detroit. Pearl Carberry, Dorothy Ogorchock, and Margaret Shannon are (2) all employed in the Heinz factory at Pittsburgh; Pearl is in the office. Margaret is a recipe inventor and tester, and Dorothy is a pickle inspector. Helen Law and Mary Champion are models at Macy’s in New York, and Pat Verstine is that store's Paris buyer. Doris Visingard and Marjorie Brady hold positions with Kaufmann's in Pittsburgh. June Thrush works in a cosmetic factory in Jersey City. I la Perrin works for Simon and Schuster, reading incoming manuscripts to see if they are worthy of publication. Miriam Emery illustrates children’s books, while Forrest Hughey makes those catchy sketches for “Esquire.’’ Sara Gilmore is a dress designer for “Harper’s Bazaar. Keith Vandervort holds the place in the hearts of America once occupied by Edgar Guest. Jacque Arthurs now runs a sweethearts’ correspondence school in New York City. Margaret Rhoades is librarian in Carnegie Library. Pittsburgh. Florence Fetzer and Gwenda Ingersoll are clerks in the Boston Y. W. C. A. Pearl and Verba Work are “working’’ their way through Penn State. George Inman is a traveling salesman in newly-developed Alaska. In the sports world are Arthur Brenneman. bull-fighter: Daryl Cable, who plays pro football with the Pittsburgh Pirates; and Dale Gilbert and Glenn Lindemuth. who play ball for the New York Yankees and the Giants, respectively. Web Boozer caddies and sells gum at the Pinecrest club house. In the professional world. Lois Reitz is a surgeon at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore. Ray Zitzelberger. Helen Winkelman. and Dick Prenatt have established a field laboratory to study paper pulp at Sheffield. Pa. Also in the chemical world is Earle Thompson, industrial chemist with the DuPonts, and Paul McFadden. an agricultural chemist at Penn State. The latter makes many experiments on Ernest Caldwell’s farm near Hazen. Rufus Hetrick has made some valuable observations with the new 200-inch telescope at the Mount Palomar observatory. Following up aviation is Lilburn Glover, who aids the pilots as weather observer at Newark airport. There also we find Test Pilot Ed Johns tap-dancing in a hangar when off duty. Near Newark. Bill Morrison has opened a monument works, adjacent to his undertaking establishment and doctor's office. (Bill is near the airport. Pat Wonderling is a TWA stewardess. Draw your own conclusions.) At New York City. I found Ed Smail. president of the Coca Cola company. I also located Jim Munro, the Park Avenue playboy who made a fortune on the horses. In the same city are Zoe Moore, who inherited a fortune from an old spinster and lives on a Long Island estate, and Dale Shields, contented with employment once a year as a department store Santa Claus. In the Empire City. Ronald Uplinger keeps the zoo animals contented and makes them feel at home. Betty Bennett plays for the Salvation Army, and Dorothy Nolph is a missionary to India. Howard Wood lives in Canada where he has extensive lumber interests, and Ronald Mauk is a mine superintendent in South America. Dick Swab and Gene Wallace are guides for visiting fishers to the Canadian woods. Fenton Jones operates a profitable fishing establishment in Tampa. Florida, with his cousin. Franklin D. Roosevelt Jones. (Yesiree!) Betty Moore manages exclusive Scottie kennels near New York, while Mary Hivick owns a Wyoming sheep ranch. Harriet and Lucille Swineford. and Helen Schaeffer are florists in Atlantic City. On the marriage list. Craig Brosius and Ruth Bullers. who were married four years ago. live in Cleveland and employ Hazel Shields as the nurse of their five-month-old twins. Rodger and Jane Cooley Quick live in Philadelphia, while Joe and Marie Brosius Himes reside in Cincinnati. Evelyn Swartz is the housekeeper in the Tom Mix home in California, and reports say they will be married in June. Eva King has met her Adam in St. Paul. Minnesota. O) Of course there are a number of former students who are still in Brookville and surrounding communities. Zelmar Slimak owns a dairy and raises contented cows. Kay Benninger is still working out at Barnes Station, playing Eeny Meeny Miny Moe. In Brookville. Ronald Sprague is a carpenter, and Harry Burns is an engineer with the Shawmut. Grace McAninch, Doris Vallimont. and Betty Smith work at the glove factory, while Estella Kelso and Margaret Magill work in the Meadville zipper factory. Mary Reitz is employed at the Reynoldsville silk mill. Jane Anderson is a waitress in Isaly's dairy store at Titusville, and Mary and Phalista Irvine manage “Candyland in DuBois. Helen Clover.

The new manager of the Columbia Theater is Merle Oakes, who employs Jane Smith as ticket-seller. Virginia Miller is a hairdresser, with Florence Korb as her stylist. Dick McManigle runs a barber shop, and Don Law is burgess of Coder. Beatrice Minich is now working in the post office. The Hon. James Case, Esq., is Reynoldsville's capable and efficient dog-catcher, Stewart Williamson is directing a safe driving campaign in Port Barnett, Henry Brehm has broken Sir Malcolm Campbell's record without a special car, and Karl Bierly has been moved to the happy position of editor of the “Jeffersonian Democrat. Darrell Hetrick is one of the county commissioners. Even now, Betty Matthews and Ethel McCracken are employed in the headquarters of the “Keith Sebring for County Treasurer campaign. Duane Stewart is Congressman from your district, and has in his employ Ruth Stewart and Helen Peterson as secretaries. Eva Frye is the national president of the Ladies' Auxiliary of the American Legion, and Imogene Markle is national head of the Girl Scouts of America. Right now. looking over my shoulder is Junior Scott. Washington G-Man and an old friend whom 1 frequently see. In closing, I would express the hope that your rheumatism, which you mentioned, has by this time left you. My regards to Mr. Ewing, and the hope that he will soon recover from his attack of lumbago. Kindly remember us to the rest of the faculty. Naturally, I shall make every effort to be in Brookville myself on the evening of April 29th for the service, and shall enjoy meeting again my old friends and the class of '39.

Hobo Housewife Dishwasher Comedian Failure Soda Jerker Ditch Digger Dear Diary: Diary of Class of 39 Sept. 3, 1935—My first day in high school. I thought that I would be lost in the shuffle, but not so. The only thing I couldn't find was my classroom. They treat me as if they had known me for years. Everyone is so friendly! Yes. I'm going to like Brookville High School. Sept. 10th—Who said high school was work? I sat and listened to lectures for one long week! I wish for some work to break the monotony! One Week Later—Today I was one of the 200 odd (?) sardines packed in one small room when our whole class got together for the first time. After the mad scramble of establishing party platforms, pledges and promises was over. Nell Frazier emerged as president. Floyd Evans as vice-president. Earle Thompson became secretary and Jean Dickinson was elected to keep all our vast wealth. All the rest of us were elected to watch her! Nov. 14th—If I ever said that I wanted work. I take it all back now because after Mrs. Carroll saw us plowing through the books in the library, she decided it was high time for us to have Library Science. What a course! If you get the point! If I ever (and I doubt it) look at decimals again it won’t be the Dewey Decimal System. Jan. 24. 19 36—Ooooh. Diary! I vow that this is the first and last time that I will ever cram for exams, until 3 in the morning. All that I can say tonight is that they are over! Thank Heavens! March 17th—Goodie! Goodie! St. Patrick’s Day! Today for the first time this year I wore green and got away with it. Then, too. there is a terrible flood here. That's no fun! Apr. 21st—We didn’t have school this afternoon because of Forensic League Contests in our district. I never knew we had so much talent in this town! After we performed there were no laurels for the other schools to win—(well, hardly any!) Apr. 26th. 6:00 A. M.—Just in from Potts-ville. tired and sleepy, wonderful time but what a ride! Saw sun rise for first time but wished I were in bed. Good morning! Tell you more tomorrow. Apr. 27th—I think I slept for a coon’s age but by a little mental arithmetic I found that it was only twelve hours. We worked so hard and our orchestra would have had first place if we had had more instruments, so we played second fiddle! May 29th—My first glimpse of operetta. Even we freshmen were represented. Earle Thompson was Dick Deadeye (the villain) and some of the others in the class were in the chorus. By the way. we presented H. AT S. Pinafore. Too bad Gilbert and Sullivan couldn’t have been there. They missed something really wonderful! June 1st—I went to Commencement tonight and didn't have to worry about doing lessons when I came home, because we handed in our books today. It must be wonderful to be a SENIOR. I wonder if I will ever get that far? Well, one consolation. I passed (not saying how) and now I’m a Sophomore. Sept. 7. 1936—I can't believe it but vacation is over and school begins tomorrow. But it will be fun to see everybody again. Sept. 15th—Today at our first class meeting, the acting chairman. Nell Frazier, informed us that we are “much wiser this year. Well, maybe! Sometimes I wonder—! Anyway, we re-elected her president. Earle Thompson was promoted to the do-nothing position of vice-president, and David Duncan took over the duties of sec.-treasurer. Jan. 27, 193 7—We had a little quiz today which took 2 1-2 hours. The teachers label them examinations but who are we to quibble about a word? April 1st—In case you wondered where I was tonight. Diary. I attended the school’s first Music Festival in which the surrounding schools brought forth their best talent. But of course we from Brookville—! April 2nd—I just came back from the Sophomore Hop. The balloon decorations—clusters of grapes—were attractive while they lasted. We cleared $30.20 and if we continue at this rate our class may have to pay an income tax next year! April 1 5th—I wonder why there were so many vacant seats in History Class today? I wouldn't have minded going fishing myself. April 19th—Tonight Mr. Kimmell directed the mixed chorus, (about 200 students), in the Concertized Edition of Gounod's Opera, Faust.” Even the spectators readily agreed that it was very well done. Who said it wouldn’t be! May 12th—Today Great Britain has a new King and Queen. Today also with much pomp and ceremony a new chapter of the National Junior Honor Society was instituted in Brookville High School. Diary of Class of 39 (Continued) May 28th—Now that the seniors have been graduated everybody else is saying good-bye. 1 guess that's a hint for the rest of us to leave, so farewell. Let them put the schools in moth balls until next fall, with my consent. • • Sept. 7, 193 7—Well, we dusted off the school for another year, our busiest year, our Junior year! I wonder if the freshmen are looking up to us as I looked up to the juniors when I was a freshman? Sept. 8th—Maybe National elections are only once every four years, but we students have them every year! This time we elected Allen Kahn, president; Nell Frazier, vice-president; and David Duncan, secretary-treasurer. Oct. 4th—Did you know money grows on trees, especially Birch trees? Well, we found $90 after the smoke and the magician disappeared. So much more toward our Junior Prom! Oct. 16th—It’s a good thing I’m writing to you. Diary, rather than talking to you for I'm so hoarse after that Booster Day parade and bonfire. We painted the town maroon and white (with crepe paper) but after the Punxs’y game—well—why bring that up? Nov. 19th—Tonight I found out that “Life Begins At Sixteen'’ as I watched my classmates in the annual Junior class play. They seemed to have so much fun doing it—by the way. it was very well done. Dec. 12th—We students all wished the town-people a Merry Christmas by presenting for them an afternoon of appropriate music. I wonder how the quartet learned that German? Ach! Mar. 4th—There goes the doorbell. I can’t write more because I’m rushing to the Du-Bois game and our Junior dance afterwards. Wish me luck! Mar. 24th—“Martha! Martha!” We adored it! It's so much fun when so many students can sing together with so much enjoyment and appreciation. Apr. 6th—After three years in high school the teachers should know our minds without those terrible I. Q. tests. May 1 1 th—The newly elected members of the National Honor Society were the guinea pigs today when the orchestra literally practiced (in assembly) the graduation march. Friday, May 13th—Dearest Diary, words fail me! The circus came to town tonight in full swing, at both the banquet and prom. They say there was an eclipse on the moon tonight. But how should I know? ? ? June 2nd—Just think! One more year and we will be tripping up those steps, on our last mile, with lumps in our throats, to receive our diplomas. • • Sept. 7. 1938—The beginning of the end! Is it possible that this will be my last year at B. H. S.? I want to be graduated of course— and yet (believe it or not) I don’t. Sept. 16th—We dignified (?) seniors hired (without pay) for the next nine months Earle Thompson as president. Allen Kahn as vice-president and Duane Stewart as secretary-treasurer. Oct. 28th—The chorus sang at Institute today. Period—’Nuf said. Nov. 14th—I’ve been working all day and night on my semi-annual masterpiece (essay to you). The only thing I don’t regret in leaving is that I won’t have to write any more essays like these! Jan. 15th—It was fun to watch the girls limp around today, but it serves them right. Congratulations. Miss Mitchell! Jan. 27th—Four years ago I vowed never to stay up until 3 A. M. again to study. Well, last night I stayed up until 6:00 A. M.. then went to school and took an exam.

May 12th—I’ve waited since Christmas for the Prom and Banquet, and what fun it’s going to be! June 8th—Diploma! It’s a thing you work four years to get—and then, somehow, though you’re mighty proud of it. you wish you could start all over again to earn it— The last leaf of my Dear Diary!

Mr. Randall Tomb has carried on the splendid work done with instrumental music established by the late Mr. Cooper and continued by Perry Kimmell. and the development of this department has not only added to the school spirit but has been of inestimable value in the training it has given the students participating. Miss Hall has also established herself as an instructor with the development of the various choral organizations and the solo and ensemble talents of the student body. No better proof of these facts could be given than the music festival which was one of the highlights of the closing days of school, and in the presentation of the high school operetta and other programs during the year.

Seven out of the first ten games ended in favor of the opponents. “However, these games had served a purpose. They had given such boys as Howard Wood. Tom Warner. George Munro. Bill Mohney. John Sushereba. and Blanford Mooney a chance to gather some much-needed experience. This fact became increasingly evident as the team went on to win seven straight games, including crucial games with Punxsutawney and DuBois. During these games Charley Cummings. Jim Sibley and Howard Wood were always near the top in league scoring. During this time also Tom Galbraith, a late starter, showed promise of breaking into the line-up. “At this point a 21 to 18 upset by Punxsutawney threw Brookville into a tie with DuBois for the league leadership. Wins on successive nights over Reynoldsville and DuBois, in a playoff game, were necessary before Brookville won the league championship and the third and last leg on the cup. “We entered the play-offs without the services of “Grandaddy“ Cummings who became over age. This left only two seniors, Howard Wood and Jim Sibley, and they both gave sterling performances in the 30 to 24 win over Sykesville. But fate had other plans in store for these two. Before the East Brady game Jim was stricken with influenza. This did not keep us from entering the district play-off with a 31 to 24 win over the Clarion County Champions. “Again destiny was following the seniors, for the last and only senior remaining on the first squad left the game, before it ended, on four personal fouls. St. Marys won 32 to 26, and went on to perform creditably in two more play-off games.” Class of 1940 Abplanalp. Margaret Geist. Robert Nyland. Julia Allshouse. Rufus Glinkerman. Ella Popson.
