Barner, Supervising Principal of the Brownsville School System. As head of a dominant unit in the maintenance of a democracy, he has assumed the responsibility of preparing the youth ofthe community to meet the situations and perplexities that the world showers upon graduates. For two terms under Mr. Barner's capable direction, the school sys- tem has steadily progressed toward being a more vital influence in the com- munity. With more than ci score of effective changes to his credit, it seems only fitting that we should offer this sincere tribute in recognition of his whole-hearted efforts in our behalf. Page 4. Foreword As the hour glass of Father Time drops its grains of sand one by one marking the weeks into months, the months into years, and the years into decades, it is the wish of every member of the staff that this publica- tion may be o pictorial resume of past events, past associations, and past adventures. In all the present visits and those to come within the covers of this book, the reader is asked to regard it as A Student's Progress , an itinerary that shall carry him to the several ports or mediums in which he has spent the past year of his school life. The moving finger writes -and still is writing in the great Record Book. That this Yearbook may embody cherished moments and may be an ultimate reminder of the past in the years that are to follow accomplishes the goal of those who have aspired to produce a worthy yearbook.

No one teacher but every member of the faculty has added a part of his character to the student body-indirectly cre- ating, thereby, the men and women of tomorrow's Democracy to carry on the tremendous tasks lying in the hazy future. As we journey through school the responsi- bility a teacher must assume is never apparent to the student. Later in life we look back in our mem- ories and realize that Responsibility's like a string we can see only the middle of. Both ends are out of sight. Recollections of happy school days are ever cherished in the hearts of students. Those odors in the lab, the tension before a stiff exam, debates in P. O. D., the thrill of going to an entertainment to get out of class, the noon-rush, the chill at being called to the office, the six week's monster-re- port cards, and the final elation upon receiving that diploma are only a few of the many thoughts we hold dear. As Father Time makes his entries and turns the pages of his lengthening record, Mankind is going to make more steady demands for universal education and realize its magnitude in modern daily living. An excerpt from The Education of Henry Adams declares, A teacher affects etern- ity, he can never tell where his influence stops. Page 8. Administration ' 1 Page 9.

School Board To the class of l942: It has been the earnest desire of your community tc provide ade- quate facilities through which you could build a solid foundation of char- acter and knowledge in preparation for the responsibilities of an adult in our democratic civilization. Our public schools strive to teach you to think and to guide you in the use of your talents. Now it is up to you. Apply the knowl- edge gained in school and the wisdom which you possess to your daily life. Our democracy needs clear thinkers, progressive and loyal. The future is in your hands. A Page 10. l RAYMOND T. BARNER ,- V X' u 'V -'JI' X S i 'tx u I l l I 'X Supervlslng Pr1nc1pa1 The Class of '42 has recorded here in picture cmd story many deeds and events which it hopes will never be forgotten. These pleasant memories were rnade possible because we were fortunate enough to be born in a democ- racy where we enjoy liberties and freedom that at the present time are not known in any other country in the world. As you read this book, you will find that a democratic philosophy has characterized your school life. You have been taught tc have respect for individual personality, to cooperate with your fellowmen, to exercise self-control, to demonstrate good citizen- ship, to accept responsibility, and to live a useful life. This philosophy you must continue throughout life, and you may be called upon to help defend it. Your training in democratic principles will serve you always. l congratulate you, the members of the class, on completing this first step in your training. May you continue to grow in the spirit of democ- racy. Page 11. l ROBERT E. AUSTIN Principal Robert E. Austin, principal of the Brownsville Senior High School, has steered our ship through many a storm. Like any good captain, he is not only at sympathetic and wise counselor, but also a firm disciplinarian. Setting our course toward the Port of Knowledge, he has directed us and kept us to that course, urging us steadily onward. Now that the end of our journey is at hand, we want to take MARY ORR this opportunity to express our appreciation for his encouragement and advice. Assisting Mr. Austin in his efforts is a pert- son familiar to all students-Mary Orr, our secretary. In addition ,to keep- ing the records for the school, she is the source of general information for students and faculty alike, All questions and problems, great and small, reach her office eventually and are efficiently and willingly solvecl, To her, as well as Mr. Austin, we owe much for the aid she has given us while in Brownsville High school.

SECRETARYS OFFICE Now we sight the most famous port on our itinerary, the Port of Education, for which our ship of Education was named. We glide so quietly into port we do not realize it. Hearing the bells and the laying of the landing plank we journey forth. Forth into the unknown but not without confidence. Once each year we pick up our studies here and continue on the foundations that were laid so long ago. For nine years the foundation was laid, so that senior high school work might be laid upon a sound structure. It is here that the rounding out of an extensive and specialized education is ef- fected. Sophomores may be mystified and bewildered at the drastic change, but soon the intermingling with upper classmen paves the way to security. They join organizations and become an important part of the cogs and wheels turning the machinery for the classes. Juniors are more settled and real- ize that school for them is nearing an end. The consequent earnestness of their efforts makes them the hub around which school life revolves. The immortal Senior Class is rounding off the edges and stands as an ideal-an ideal well estab- lished that may soon form the nucleus for a suc- cessful life. Page 18. The Classes Senior Officers J. Six V. Gibson 0. Ford J. Peters lseatedl The Senior Class The ship of Education has made its final mooring for the Senior class of l942. We take leave-but one last look at the weathered ship that has carried us over many tumultous waves. For the majority it has been a twelve-year journey with occasional stop-overs to mark the milestones along the way. The day we left the pro- tection of our homes to enter school is just as vivid in our minds as gradua- tion. Then we entered junior high. Ohl but were we not grown upl Then came graduation from junior high and entrance into senior high. That was the biggest milestone of all. Senior high marks for many of us the final formal education of our lives, but we take with us the tools by which we can learn through living. We who have plodded along, at times slowly and often rapidly, now stand on the threshhold of the greatest experience in our lives. Soon we shall take our place in the world. The last three years have been the greatest, the years in which we become more familiar with the workings of our democracy and our share in its well-being. The officers on board our valiant ship were elected to guide us capably into the port of Graduation. Junior Peters, President, Vivian Gib- son, Vice-president, Janet Six, Secretary, and Opal Ford, Treasurer, did a splendid service in their last year al the helm. ' For the most part we have enjoyed the education we received in the school, and with a background of knowledge we step forth to use it for our own well-being and the good of human welfare.

Shaffer 1Seatedl The Junior Class A short time ago we entered the senior high school and started on the last lap of our high school journey. ln the fall of l94O we set forth eagerly as sophomores to acquire a more specialized education in strange surroundings. Slowly, at first, and then with more confidence, we began to take part in the numerous activities offered to the students of Browns- ville Senior High School. Gradually we accepted our share in the support of various clubs and the Yearbook, and presented to the teachers a class which proved to be willing to advance in every field of education and recreation offered by the high school. To help us do this successfully, the class elected the following capable officers: Richard Shaffer, Phyllis Baer, Louis Orlandi, and Frances Small. This, our second year in senior high, brings us into closer contact with the school. We have developed our abilities further along the line in which we are interested. Our plans for the future are becoming clearer as we change from young students entering the senior high school to juniors looking forward to taking 'our places in the world after our graduation as seniors. This year, again, came class elections with all the excitement that accompanied them in the last year, The leaders of the Junior Class this year are as follows: President, Richard Shaffer, Vice-President, Joe Curcioj Secretary, Louise Orlandi, and Treasurer, Bill Dillon. Having these four as officers, the Junior Class of i943 goes forward with hopes of maintaining as high a standard next year as any of Browns- ville's senior classes so that we may graduate into the business world as dependable citizens.-Mary Jane Wojcik. , Page 46.

Wenick tseatedl The Sophomore Class Though the Sophomore Class is comparatively new to the senior high school, it plays an important part in supporting all the school activities. Following the example set by the previous sophomore classes, it has put forth an admirable effort to become a definite part of the school. lt is part- ly through the Sophomore purchases these yearbook editions are made pos- sible. To show its initiative and willingness to assist any school activity, the Sophomore Class held a Sweater Hop and turned all profits over to the Student Council to be added to the yearbook fund. This contribution is just a sample of the things this new class is doing for the Brownsville Senior High School and all its projects. The sophomores take advantage of all the opportunities offered them by such organizations as the Dramatic Club, the Rifle Club, the Thes- plans, the Creative Writing Club, and many others. The sophomores must get the credit for another industrious undertaking. Some of the more active biology students of the Sophomore Classes have started to organize a Biology Club on their own initiative and have chosen Mr. Sepsi as their spon- sor. Yes, the Sophomores are pretty busy students. The Sophomore Class, with the guidance of its capable leaders, has become an important influence in the Senior High. The class officers, when the rain of ballots ceased, were found to be, President, George Wenick, Vice-President, Rose DeZure, Secretary, Marian Bakewell, and Treasurer, Clarence Stevenson. These four competent leaders guide the Sophomore Class in all its executive undertakings.-Mary Ann Pascarell. Page 50. 1 ...f -5' 'Hg an g wt 1 am? A1 ' 4.1 W 2. f p ., . A434 i' 'AB' 1 3 ..

The ship of Education sails into the harbor of Relaxation. To people in general this name may be misleading but to high school students it has a special meaning. lt signifies not only the pleas- ure they derive by becoming members of the vari- ous clubs, but also the intensifying of activity along the lines of interest. At noon, after school, and in the evenings faithful followers of the stage, the library, the rifle range, the press and others gather to exchange views, exhibit accomplishments or to gain more information and practice. A review of their attain- ments in a school year is evidence of the interest and cooperation exhibited in the various groups. Being a member in a club signifies an inter- est in that club, but in addition club work is a means of providing a more extensive cultural background. lf all the students participating in extra-curricular activities would regard life as a continuous growth, each action in club and class- room contributing to the advancement, we could finish our portrait of school life and bring to reali- zation the words of George Eliot: My life shall grow like trees both tall and fair, that rise and spread and bloom toward fuller' fruit each year.

Student Council The Student Council is the ruling body of the school. lt is made up of a representative from each home room in the Senior High School. It is the Council's privilege to issue or revoke charters, to grant or refuse petitions and to award activity letters to deserving members of the graduating class. The officers for l94l -42 were Junior Peters, President, Bill Rodgers, Vice-President, Suzanne Reed, treasurer, and Nancy Greenwood, secre- tary. The major concern of the Council this year was the conducting of a campaign to insure funds for the publication of the Yearbook. ln ad- dition to a drive for subscribers at the beginning of the year, the Council sponsored the sale of magazine subscriptions, name cards, and class pins to supply the financial deficiency in the yearbook funds which had been brought about by the increase in cost of materials. lt was evident that the suspension of publication this year would no doubt cancel the possibilities of publication next year. Through the efforts of the Council this fact was made apparent and the response of the student body was immediate. At the beginning of the year meetings were held every Wednesday, but with the completion of activity in connection with Yearbook financing, meetings were held every other Wednesday. The office of Student Council Representative carries with it a great obligation. lt is the duty of each member to make known the thoughts of the group he represents. Membership on the Council gives the student ex- perience in self-government and self-expression and fosters the growth of the democratic spirit.-Nancy Greenwood Page 56. Tri-Hi-Y One of the most worth-while organizations among the students is the Tri-Hi-Y. The membership is limited to the girls in the high school. The primary object of the club is the discussion of problems which arise in the home and the schoolroom, and the development of a greater sense of religious and civic duty. The activities of this young girls' club are many. Each year money is raised through the sale of home-baked pastries and through plays and dances. The receipts are donated to the Community Fund and numerous other charities. In addition Thanksgiving baskets are distributed each vear and a Christmas tree is provided for the hall of the school. The club holds a weekly meeting in the high school building. There the girls are often addressed by some person prominent in public life. An annual dinner is given and two Sweater l-lcps are sponsored. A formal dance is held in March and then the young girls give a Mother and Daughter Tea during the school year. At the end of the every school year the club generally has a surplus in its treasury. This money is utilized to pay fifty per cent of the expenses of those girl members vacationing at a Tri-Hi-Y camp during the summer. Tri-l-li-Y officers are as follows: President, Elsie Jean Gregg, Vice- President, Phyllis Baer, Secretary, Sally Leonard, Treasurer, Eleanor Thomp- son, and Reporter, Doris Wright. The club, under the sponsorship of Mrs. Hays and Mrs. Sharpnack, has done some very fine work.-Sally Leonard. Left To Right l'll'l.ll Row P. Trinniriir. N. Greenberg, B. Gurcher. J. Hardy, W. Donuti.

The audience was awed by the spectacular revelation of the chorus arrayed for the first time in their beautiful blue and white robes. The program proceeded with selections by the entire chorus, some by small distinctive groups, and some by the outstanding soloists ot the organization. The concert was divided into three distinct moods, namely, religious, modern, andrpatriotic, Very appropriately included in the pro- gram were solo selections by Miss Betty Ellen Morris, now a very popular radio songstress, who received most of her vocal training under the tutor- ship of our own teacher and director, Mr. Howard B. Swyers. The chorus supplied the 'background for Whispers in the Dark as rendered by the baritone soloist, Mr. Eugene Beardsley. The climax of the evening was the presentation of Ballad for Americans. The curtain closed on a very en- joyable evening tor all who attended. Although only a night's entertainment for the patrons, it was the result of weeks and weeks of constant work for Page 58. was 4.

The effort was well worth while, however, for the goal had been attained-it was a great success. Other accomplishments of the year included a Christmas program presented at the Rotary Club. This presentation received such an acclaim that the chorus was requested to make a return appearance for the Birth- day Meeting of the Rotary Club. Every entry in the county contest received a rating and several copped the top honors. An Easter version of the Messiah was given at the Knoxville Pres- byterian Church of Pittsburgh on Easter Morning. This program, although not completely composed of chorus students was, however, made up of graduate chorus students, several present chorus members, and a few out- standing voices of the community, all under the direction of Mr. Swyers. This year's operetta, Oh, Doctorl , being modern, was a change from the usual Gilbert and Sullivan offering and was met with great public acclaim. in all it proved a highly interesting year for the public as well as the entire c orus.

The Orchestra An organization of our school which is not heard about as much as it should be is the Orchestra. Although it never gets its name in lights and is not publicized as much as the band, it is a wonderful aid to our school. lt furnishes all the musical background for the Thespion and Dramatic Club plays and all the musical scores for the annual operettcis, The boys and girls are always willing to play for church benefits and other social functions in the community. The boys and girls practice diligently every day so that they might participate in the All-County Orchestra, where the best are chosen from all the schools in the county. The orchestra is divided into different sections, namely, The Brass Sextet, The Flute Trio, The Wood-wind Quintet, and the Hinky Dinky Band. These different groups are the ones that take port in the contest throughout the year. The Orchestra Concert took place on March l2 and was a grand success. The orchestra will lose about fifteen of its members in the graduating class, but there will always be new ones to take their places-Mary Ann Pascarell Page 60. Concert Band One thing certain to the football fans of Western Pennsylvania is the fact that whenever the Brownsville Senior High School Band goes into its act, the fans knows they are in for a real treat. This is because the band, under the competent leadership of Mr. Paul Carson, seems to click with new hits each year. Their progress has been proved through their performances 'for this year. ln their first four participations at football games, they were just slightly above average, but as the season wore on, the talent began to show. At the game in Monessen our gallant boys and girls marched out in the wind and rain playing Bugle Call Rag. Half-frozen fans with over- coats drawn over their heads took time out to drop their coats and pull their hands from their pockets to give our band one of the greatest ovations it had received for sometime. At our next game, they were hosts to Mon City and once again gave a stellar performance as they formed a large bell and played The Bells of Saint Mary and Jingle Bells. Next came the Donora game where our bond proved themselves to be regil sports. Knowing that seating space was limited, the entire band agreed to stay home in body, but not in soul, in order to make seats avail- able for the fans. Left To Right Joi- 811111111-o, Uonzild Word.

Instrumental lContinuedl Although our gridiron fighters wer down in defeat quite early in the .lohnf town gome, the band kept our fans l good spirit throughout the day. Unob to march upon the field because of i muddy condition, the members of tl' band remained in the grandstancl ar played continuously, while a lad wt needs no introduction waded in mud L to his ankles, and put on a solo twirlir act that made even the most loyal fan forget the game. The band, althou broken-hearted after the game, still ke up the spirits of the fans by playing c the Brownsville Station upon returning. Then came the Uniontown gami On looking back, one can still see th large star formed in the center of tl' gridiron, while they played o medley c star songs. Last, but not least, at the Connell: viille game, come the top performanci Navy Day. At this game the bar formed a large anchor and ploye Anchors Aweigh and Modern D sign. The evening and the season endj with the best football game of the yec and a modern swing arrangement c The Sheik of Arabi. ln this years graduating class, tl' band will lose approximately fiftee members, but we can rest assured the under the magic baton of Paul Carson, bigger and better bond, if such a thir is possible, will grace our gridiron i l 942. We stop right here to salute on aggressive, ever-alert band leader, M Paul Carson, who leads the Pride c Brownsville down the field in perfei formation for the admiration of frien and foe alike. The band passes i review, and win, lose, or draw, you ca rest assured it has thrilled thousands c fans. Mr. Carson's ability as a leader proved by the many prizes our band hcl won. The large crowds at our footba games may be partially attributed to tl' band for many a patron has sat throug wind and rain for the sole purpose c viewing our band. This is all made pos Music tContinuedl sible through the great leadership ot Paul Carson and his magic wand. There is never a dull moment at a football game as the band plays on, tor Mr Carson arranges his program in such O manner that one can never tell what's coming next, but all can feel certain that it will be something unique.

His name, which you all have probably guessed by now, is Joseph Peters, better known to all his friends as Junior, He is, without a doubt, the best drum-major Brownsville has ever had, His enviable position was achieved only by diligent work and cone stant practice. He has won countless contests but the tame he has acquired has not in the slightest way changed him. He is still the same well-liked boy he was three years ago, when he entered Brownsville High School, He carries his baton to and from school and even be- tween classes. However, his twirling, though most important is not his sole achievement. He has in past years been an active Thes- pian participating in many plays, and has been a member et the Student Coun- cil, and was elected as a class officer. His education has not been slighted, either, for he is quite a capable student and he plans to further his education by going to college. Mary Ann Pascarell liii-i-i-lin.

The Dramatic Club The Dramatic Club, sponsored by Miss Donohey, was established at the beginning of the first semester of the l94l -42 school term. The purpose of this club is to give every student an opportunity to discover his talent and ability in Dramotics. The group's activities are varied in many ways. They include the practice of applying make-up, ushering at plays and programs, business managing, backstage work, acting, and similar duties. The Dramatic Club holds its meetings weekly every Wednesday at 3:30 P. M. Its officers and members discuss old business and any new busi- ness that arises during the year. For both the first and second semesters the officers were as follows: Robert Hawthorne, president, Don Grueser, vice-president, Kathleen Stroke, secretary, Marilyn Keibler, treasurer. The officers and members alike por- ticipate in plays or program given by school groups and are expected to do their port in making them successful. A three-act play, Young April, o sequel to Growing Pains, which was given several seasons ago, was produced in February for the benefit of the Red Cross and was very successful. ' Kathleen Stroke Page 64. Thespians In 1941 -42 the Thespian Troupe with Miss Donahey as sponsor had the following officers: Richard Shaffer, President, Dolores Salagovic, Vice- President, Dolores Snyder, Secretary-treasurer, Theresa Noon, Clerk, David Wyatt, Senior Representative, Phyllis Baer, Junior Representative, and Marilyn Keibler, Sophomore Representative. The members gather every Thursday and alternate evening and afternoon meetings. The evening meet- ings are social while those in the afternoon are devoted to business. The aim of this troupe is to encourage students to attain a better mastery of language, to develop poise and self-control, and to appreciate dramatic literature and its techniques. The Thespians annual fall presentation this year was a performance of three one-act plays, Second Honeymoon, Trampled Garden, and Antic Spring. The stage crew in December designed and made the settings used by the Chorus for their winter concert. Later in the year, the troupe held a celebration of Good Neighbor Night at which the play, The Wooden Leg was presented. The club had invited all of the Dramatic Groups in this area to be their guests. After the play and the formal initiations, which were held at this meeting, the guests and hosts danced in the gymnasium. The highlight of the Thespian year was the Tenth Anniversary Party. Alumni and their guests were welcomed to the celebration. ln order to give more students o chance to become members, one-act plays were presented for the Thespians by the prospective members. As a result of these plays and other plays given at public performances, as well as plays given by Dramatic Club members, eight students were initiated at' two initiation ceremonies. Backstage work and the art of applying make-up also enabled some other students to earn enough points to join the group. As a fitting climax to their eventful year, the Thespians planned a dinner which was held in honor of the graduating senior Thespians, and awarded pins and letters to seniors who had proved worthy Thespians.

Regular meetings are held bi-weekly and are devoted to the discus- sion of Spanish customs, language, and art. Special meetings are often held at night. New members are initiated once each year. Each year the Club presents second year members of the Spanish classes with remembrance pins. These are purchased by means of nominal dues assessed members. The Club requires a C average for admittance. Virginia Drazenovich Left To Right 'Third Row-B. Johnson, V. Norman, E. Kermeweg. Second Row-O, M. Lewis, B. Patterson, E. Szuch, C. Richie, V.

Rifle Club This year the Boys' and Girls' Rifle Teams have been united to form one club, An influential factor in the formation of the new organization was Bob Whetzel, who has been an active marksman for the past three years. Our new faculty sponsor is Mr. Swearingen who is assisted by Mr. Jones. Both have had wide experience in the field, Mr. Swearingen as a member of the rifle team at C.S.T.C., and Mr. Jones as an ardent sportsman. So far this year, the team hos had only one match, but another hos already been scheduled with Waynesburg. The Club holds target practice at the indoor range in the Prospect School Building several times each week. The officers of the club are: President, Barbara Garcher, Vice-Presiu dent, Marylee Deyarmon, Secretary, Betty Jayne Graef, Treasurer, Rose Francis, and Reporter, Janet Six. The Club's aims are not to make crack-shots out of its members, although to an extent this has been accomplished, but instead it hopes to teach the members the correct handling of guns and range equipment. This skill, we hope, will be valuable even after members have finished school. Betty Jayne Graef Page 68. Home EC Club The Home Economics Club exists as a medium through which all students, regardless of their chosen course of study, may become acquainted with the handicrafts of the home and become proficient in the art of being a hostess. The meetings are classed as social and activity meetings. ln the social program, the club strives to give each member an opportunity to serve on a committee planning for the event, thus learning to become o skillful hos- tess. The activity meetings find the members busily engaged on a handiwork project. These projects include needlework and the various crafts. During the year the Club assisted a number of other organizations in the planning of and entertainment for special events. In this capacity the club performs a service to the school in additicn to providing experience for the members. The work done in this organization contributes to the background of experience, knowledge, and skill which every girl should possess when she leaves the public school to enter the school of life. Sponsored by Miss Jones and Miss Shultz, the club and its officers: President, Ann Honeycheck, Vice-President, Ado Moyer, Secretary, Vivian Barreca, and Treasurer, Kathryn Hornick-have completed a very success- ful year.

Creative Writing lub The Creative Writing Club, sponsored by Miss McGinty, was estabf lished four years ago to provide a better knowledge of creative writing for those who were interested. Now, however, the club has a larger membership and performs a greater variety of functions for its members and the school. ln previous years it has published a newspaper and has sponsored a contest for writers of short stories, essays, and poetry. Each year the Creative Writing Club purchases books or subscribes to magazines for the benefit of its members. This year an evening luncheon was held at the school with Mrs. J. Riley Staats, a well-known poetess, as guest speaker. The meetings are held every second week during the noon hour. On these Tuesdays the nature of the business varies and the members read their poems, stories, essays, and any of their other creative works. The eighteen members elected the following as their officers: Doris Rutherford, Doris Wright, Sara Mae,.Williams, and Mary Jane Wojcik. lnter- esting meetings are held and the iiusefulness of the club is shown by the higher grade of work that is produced by the students of the club.

Yearbook Staff As you read this Yearbook, do you wonder about the efforts that pro- duced it? lt is the result of hours of planning and work on the part of the staff. First, we shall consider the student members. The position of Editor- in-Chief was efficiently handled by Doris Wright, who had as her assistant, Gloria Winson. As Junior Editor, Mary Jane Wojcik, in charge of write-ups, was assisted by Joseph Hughes, Mary Ann Pascarell was the capable Sopho- more Editor. Louise Magaldi took charge of the finances with the aid of Edith Hoyman, Eve Skovran, and Rose Dezure. Mary McDonough, Junior Busi- ness Manager, and her assistant, Margaret Decovich, did some fine work. Taking charge of the various sports were Harry Gilmore as Editor and Edmund Vig as his assistant. Another able worker, Robert Whetzel, was the Yearbook photographer. Although the work of each member of the staff was excellent, the real credit goes to the hard-working faculty editor, Miss Shultz. lt was she who did the planning and saw that everything was properly handled. Another faculty member, Mr. McCormick, was of great assistance. His advice and help' proved valuable to the Yearbook Staff. Mary Jane Wojcik Lett To Rilht Third Row-M. J. Wojick. E. Vig, H.

With H i p, B o o m, R a h reverberating through the air we arrive at the Port of Recreation. The Port is divided into several sections and re- quires a whole year for completion. The first tang of sharp, autumn cold pene- trates the body and we know it is time for the foot- ball season to open. Beyond any doubt, Brownsville is football conscious and is mighty proud of her Blue and White Warriors. As winter approaches with its shortening day, school life is brightened by our cagers who fight pluckily through victory and defeat. The lack of enthusiasm by the majority is made up by the select few who show up at every game to lend their support. Again spring advances and the call of the out-of-doors beckons. We answer with baseball games and track meets. Around the year each season brings our fav- orite sports and in answer Brownsville has shown its appreciation by the erection of a fine athletic stadium on Woodward Plan. No finer way can sportsmanship and the honor of a worthy victory or gallant defeat be taught. Neither textbooks nor professors' care could teach to stalwart youth of America the good, clean principles of sportsman- ship nutured in the nation's scholastic feats. After graduation it will be a short step to transplant these principles in a work-a-day world of demo- cratic ideals. Page 72. Athletics MR JOSEPH DUDZAK, Director of Athletics ...lil l Coaches4SE'PSI, BRUCE MQCUNE The Coaching Staff This year during another football season Brownsville overcame several problems. Last year's head coach resigned and nearly all the veteran football players had graduated. This meant that a new coach would have to be selected and a new team trained. After many rumors and long hours of deliberation, it was decided to promote assistant Cc-ach Earl Bruce into the position of head coach. As his assistants he was to have Mr. Sepsi and Mr. McCune. Mr. Bruce's coaching career had begun at Bell Township where he had served for several years. He then moved to Brownsville where he served for three years as Backfield Coach under Coach Aschman. ln l94l he was made head coach. He won five games, lost three, and tied two in the past season. His assistants are also well known in football circles. Mr. Sepsi, a graduate from Waynesburg, acted as line coach for a period of three years under Mr. Aschman. He then became backfield coach under Coach Bruce. In his college days Mr. Sepsi was a very deceptive player and an excellent punter. Bullet Joe McCune, also graduated from Waynesburg College, acquired this name because of his ability to move swiftly. For a few years he coached the famous McKeesport Olympics, a semi-pro football team. lt was here that he gained fame and recognitio-n as one of the best tackles in the semi-pro league. He still played with the Olympics, after having taken up his posi- tion as line coach under Mr. Bruce. Page 74. Pigskin Parade On August 24, the Brownsville Senior High School sent its football squad to the Kiwanis camp for its sixth annual training period. This year was to be a very hard and trying one, since the boys had to live up to the records of former Brownsville teams. The leader of the group was Coach Earl Bruce with his assistants, Mr. Sepsi and Mr. McCune. Although there was no doubt as to the ability of the coaches, many people wondered what would happen since there were only a few experienced players returning, and it was the first year for Mr. Bruce and his assistants. All doubts were settled on November I4 at about lO:OO P. M. on the gridiron of the new stadium when Brownsville played its final game of the season against the over-confident Connellsville Cokers. When the final whistle blew the score stood tied at I3-13. The Brownies had climaxed a brilliant performance by closing with the season's greatest upheaval. They had attained this by scoring the crucial touchdown in the 4th quarter of the game, thus shattering the W. P. I. A. L. Title dream of the Cokers. This game showed that the Brownsville players were really made of stern stuff, and also proved that Brownsville was justified in selecting Mr. Bruce as Head Coach and Mr. Sepsi and Mr. McCune as assistants. All and any doubts that anyone had at the opening of the season were erased by this brilliant performance. This game, although it was the greatest, was not the only outstanding display of Brownie sportsmanship and power. Brownsville's impressive record for l938, l939, l94O was 30 wins, 3 ties, and no losses or 33 undefeated games. This winning streak was ex- tended to 34 and finally to 39 games until the Donora juggernaut turned back the Brownies on October 25. This was the first time that Donora had defeated Brownsville in their series of games which had started in l935. lt was also Brownsville's first loss on foreign soil since i937 when the Mones- sen Greyhounds had defeated the Brownie Eleven 24-6. The winning streak of the Brownies would have ended at 34 games had it not been for Johnson, a German High School player. After many rumors of his ineligibility, Mr. Austin, our Principal, stated that we would not investigate. When other school undertook the investigation with the Har- risburg officials, they found these rumors to be true. Nevertheless, Mr. Aus- tin still stated that Brownsville would not accept the forfeit, because we had been beaten by a score of 20-O. Over Mr. Austin's protest we were awarded the game by a W. P. l. A. L. Football Committee. Thus was our unbeaten recorded extended from 34 to 39 games. The Brownies had played a brilliant, season, emerging with 5 wins, 3 losses, and 2 ties. Our opponents had scored l i2 points while we had com- piled 98 with l5 touchdowns and 8 extra-pofnts. Left To Right Third Row-Simon. Vaccaro, Porter. A. McKnight, Austin, Davis, Stevenson.

These few games gave the new coach an idea of what type of players he needed. In these games, the Lessnermen were largely unsuccessful. The bright light of these games was the setback handed to Redstone, Section 22 champs, by a score of 27-9. Other games were played with California, Scottdale, and Burgetts- town. The B. H. S. Alumni challenged Mr. Lessner's boys a game for the benefit of the sweater fund. There is a possibility that this event may become an annual affair. The alumni won this first game by a cl0Se decision, 22-2l. A rejuvenated B. H. S. team entered the Section 4 title race with high hopes. Mr. Lessner had practically all inexperienced bo s. Woggie Johns, William Taylor, Tony Vigilotti, Andy Negra, and William Fowler were considered the regulars. After the first few games the Brownies seemed hopeless. They were set back by Canonsburg, Donora, and Charleroi. The first attempt to defeat Monongahela was successful and the Brownies broke into the win column.

Basketeerls Biography cruelly by sending them home on the lower end of a 25-24 count. Out of this defeat came a new regular for the squad. Tony Mammarella, a sopho- more, won himself an alternate position on the team as a guard. He worked with Vigilotti and Negra and held his position capably. With a good sub to depend on, Mr. Lessner now had more hopes of rising to the top. When the Brownies returned from their next trip on foreign grounds they had two victories to their credit, having defeated Trinity and Donora respectively. The last half of the Section 4 race was highlighted by the decisive defeat handed to Trinity. Woggie Johns showed his fellow students his dead eye by tallying 28 points in an afternoon game reserved espe- cially for the students. The next year's quintet will evidently be built around three regulars -Andy Negra, Tony Mammarella, and Woggie Johns. Other veterans will be necessary also. Sam l-larvey, Rudy Daley, Irving Coleman, Alex Gallo, Frank Dankovich, and Fred Diedrich are those available. Merle Labin, Junior High coach, offers his assistance by sending up Charles Sargent, Robert Kraft, Wallace Hakin, Don Kennedy, Mike Prodan, John Kapolka, Ross Herron, Frank Davis, George Sealey, and Bert Sutton. Page 81. Uri The Diamond The Blue and White warriors of B. H. S. started off their pre-league campaign under the supervision of Mr. Earl Bruce, with a 5-l victory over Marion High. At a return engagement, the Brownies left the Marion High field with Cl 9-4 triumph. After the Bruceman had beaten East Pike ll-l6, Paul Sutton set them down again i2-O, allowing only one hit, concluding the pre-league ex- hibitions. As the W. P. I. A. L. games opened, the Brownies turned back the California Cubs l7-4. The victors were sparked by the home runs from Al- fred Taffoni, Jack Sokol, and George Kosty. The next engagement showed Sutton blanking the boys from Chart- leroi 7-O. The first defeat handed to the Brownies was a l6-9 setback by Donora. Errors proved costly as the Dragons took advantage of the miscues in the final frame. At Monongahela, the Bruceman got a scare as they had the Wildcats on their hands until the tenth inning. A two base clout by Fred Kreuter with two men on enabled the Brownies to return home victorious. The Brownsville boys found themselves tied for first place as they returned from Monessen. They left the Greyhounds on the lower end of a 20-lO score, while Donora was tripped by California. Leaving Charleroi on the short end of a shutout 8-O, the Blue and White squad reigned over Section 8 as Monongahela nosed out Donora 4-3 in l6 innings. Climaxing the Section 8 schedule, Brownsville defeated Donora, Monongahela, Monessen, and California in order. In the sectional playoffs, the Brownies, apparently over-confident, were surprised to be tramped on by Marion 3-2. This concluded the B. H. S. baseball season for l94l. Having said farewell to most of our ball players, we are looking for- ward to many more baseball seasons just as great as the one that has just elapsed. Harry Gilmore Left To Right Second Rowe-E.

The Brownies were handed o setback by German Township, 67-58. The top performance of the day was recorded by Ralph Simp- sonhof the Brownies by o broadjump of 20 feet l l-2 inc es. The crock squad of Dcnora next invaded Browns- ville and defeated the inexperienced team of Coach Shel- ton's by o score of 99-l9. The only first place for Browns- ville was recorded by Simpson again in the broadjump. The Brownies took three seconds ond the same number of Lhirds, with the Dragons walking cff with the rest of the onors. A triangular meet on the l8th Of April left the Brownies in despair os Trinity copped the honors with a 67, Monongahelo, a runner-up with 63 l-2, and the Shel- ton boys left the field with a 32. Robert Mosier tallied the only first for the Blue and White team by throwing the discus l l4 feet, 7 inches. James Hutlos put on a surprising exhibition at the broodjump. The Annual Fayette County Track Meet at Con- nellsville was the final appearance of the Brownies. Uniontown emerged victories with a score of lO7 l-2, Con- nellsville was runner-up with 87 l-2, followed in order by German Township with a 38, Brownsville with a l3, and Georges Township with 7 points. With more experienced boys, Mr. Shelton hopes to improve the rating of the B. H. S. track squad within a few years. Harry Gilmore Page 83. Conch Sooner Shelton Our last and final stop on this itinerary shall be the Port of Commerce. lt is here that we come into closer contact with economic problems than at any other time. lt is here that we get our first glimpse of the problems and misunderstandings that so often confront the working men of this ex- pansive world. Not just one village, town, city, county, state, or nation, but all of them are needed to make an economic success of the world. When you get down behind all these, you come to find there are hun- dreds of independent men working to make a liv- ing. These, the creators of world commerce-fan mers, clothiers, contractors, printers, druggists, and workmen from every conceivable branch of life-strike the' keynote of industry's expansion into a world affair. We as students must learn through our con- tact with the merchants of our community how we will be able to earn our way in the world. Directly or indirectly, from them comes the choice of a vo- cation preference, a better understanding of the financial mechanism of today's world, and great- est of all, an association on a small scale with the functions of local management in a world-wide or- ganization. Conscientious interchange now between mer- chant and student will mean an easier task of adapting ourselves to live in the world beyond graduation. Subjects relative to world commerce are taught in school, but of what value are they if not put to practice here in our own community and homes. Page 84.
