At ci cruciol time like this when everyone is striving to do his shore in helping the wor effort, we feel thot we connot honestly dedicote this book to ony one indi- viduol but to oll the thouscinds of people who ore working doy ond night toword o common gool - Victory. Of course, we reolize thot the soldier, the soilor, ond the morine ore the ones who ore directly fighting this wor ond ore the ones to whom most of the credit will go, ond rightly so. But for eoch soldier, soil- or, ond mcirine on the fighting front, there must be people on the home front, to keep him supplied. 4 Thot's why everyone ot you - the student, the toctory worker, the torrner, ond the housewife, eoch must do his or her shore in helping to speed our couse olong. For we know thot ours is o just couse, ond os oll just couses, will inevitobly triurnphl Truth, crushed to eorth, sholl rise ogoin, The eternol yeo rs ot God ore hers, But Error, wounded, writhes in poin, And dies omong his worshippers.

D 1- S-f 3 IN MEMORIAM The members of the junior Class, with the faculty and student body humbly offer this tribute to the memory of MELROSE LAYNE Died November 6, 1943 There is no death! the stars go down To rise upon some fairer shore. And bright in Heaven's jewelled crown They shine forevermore. There is no death! an angel form Walks over the earth with silent treadg He bears our best-loved things away- And then we call them dead, Though passed beyond our tear dimmed sight, 'Tis but a larger life to gainp We feel their presence oft-the same, Except in sin and pain. And ever near us, though unseen, The dear immortal spirits treadg For all the boundless universe Is life-there is no dead! QLord Lyttonj also to the memory of those former students of B. H.

Mon Valley is well represented in the war effort, with war plants in our neighboring towns of Allenport, Charleroi, and Monessen. Brownsville is the center of the mining and coke industry which serves these factories with necessary materials. CHAPTER ONE Brownsville Borough Honor Roll World War II OUR LAND OUR TEACHERS IN SERVICE Lt. R. E. Austin Pfc. Paul Carson Lt. Smith Coldren Pfc. T. Easton Lt. S. Jacob' Air Corps Army Navy Army Army Lt. B. McCormick Pvt. J. McCune J. R. Swearington AMM1fc H. Walker Y2lc Lt. M. Wasko Army Army Navy Navy Marines It seems such a long time since these members of the faculty have walked through our halls, yet it is only two years since our former principal, R. E. Austin, left for the air corps. Lt. Austin is now in Florida. A year ago, Paul Carson was in the midst of the Band Concert prep- arations, now he is in England playing in an army band, as well as performing other army duties. A year and a half in the navy has given Smith Coldren, now stationed in Texas, the rank of Lieutenant, Senior Grade. Pfc. Thomas Easton of the army air corps is also in Texas. First Lieutenant Samuel Jacobs, who has been in the army for two years, has just recently ar- rived in the British Isles. g Bernard lXfIcCormiek, who left the B. H. S. English Department for the Quartermasters Corps is now a lst Lieutenant and is located in Mississippi. Our former assistant coach, Pvt. J. McCune, has been in the South Pacific for some time. -I. R. Swearingen, who has been gone from the manual arts department for two years. is now an aviation machinist's mate, first class, at the naval station, Chicago. Yoeman second class, H. Walker, assistant principal in 1942- l943, is now at a naval station in Mississippi. Lieutenant Matthew Wasko, a Marine, is sta- tioned near San Francisco. In addition to these Senior High School teachers, there are ten members of the junior High School faculty in the armed forces. They are Ernest Knapp-army, james Chalfant- merchant marine, Paul Campbell-air corps, Theodore Blasius-army, Samuel Francis-air corps, Frances Swan-navy, Morton Klein-army, George Rehe-navy, Merle Labin-army, and Carl Hough-air corps. The school and community are proud of these men and women who are giving active service to our Nation. 10 OUR STUDENTS IN SERVICE A number of thc young men of our student body, along with the youth of the commun- ity, were directly affected by the war. Some were inducted during the summer of 1943 and others left after school begang while others will leave before the term draws to a close. Many boys have volunteered for duty not waiting for Uncle Sam to call them to the colors. Some others, having been called, were permitted to complete their class work before being inducted. Such is a democracy-the American way! During the course of the present school term, the Army and Navy V-12, Army Air Cadets, and Radio Technician tests were administered to those students who desired to further their education through a military career. A number of our boys, who successfully passed these examinations, are now on reserve lists waiting to be called. The boys pictured below were among those who .left for the Services before they com- pleted their work at Brownsville Senior High. It was impossible for the staff to picture all the boys who enlisted or were inducted for the entire year due to the necessity of meeting engraver's and printer's deadlines. Therefore these ten boys who left in 1943 or early in 1944 represent only a portion of our seniors who are now serving Uncle Sam. Since the plates have gone to the engravers, these additional boys have joined the ranks of the Armed Forces.

Up and down the river we notice smokey chimneys almost as tall as steeples, belching forth smoke, enormous piles of dull red ore, waiting its turn in the blast furnace. Soon this red. stuff will be knocking the stuff- ing out of our enemies. We watch giant fingers gripping the red hot ladles of molten metal. Then too we see the beautiful but terrifying giant flame from the Bessemer Converter. It's the torch that's helping us to defend the Torch of Liberty. In little towns like Donora, Monessen, Clairton we can see the sinews of war and those of a bright new world being forged. But without those chunks of black carbon, commonly called coal, we could not make our steel, for from coal we obtain coke used in smelting the ore. Let's trail this coal back to the mine. lille can hear them blasting in one of the many passageways down under. The black faced miners carrying their lunch pails come blinking out into the light. This is hard and dangerous work-digging coal. But this is a portion of Mon Valley's job. Here comes a string of cars loaded with coal -coal of all kinds sorted and graded. On gleaming ribbons the cars rumble on to the mills, pulled by puffing, chugging engines. - just think of placing hundreds of trains on proper tracks at the right time so as to have no collisions or accidents. That's one of the jobs of the railroaders. Consider the firemen, engineers, and watchmen working in all kinds of weather-this too is a part of Mon Valley's job. Now we watch one of the coal barges gliding by silently with the sturdy river boat stead- ily pushing it onward. In these barges we again find a valuable cargo-black carbon. Hear the ringing of that axe and the buzz of the saw mill? Yes, we're in one of the near- by lumber camps. See those deep rutted roads going into the woods? Those horses over there in the stable, drag logs from the woods to the mill. Mountains of sawdust surround the mill, like protecting barriers against wild animals that frequent the forest. Rough little shanties with oil lamps and gasoline stoves are the workmen's quarters. Some forest giant is toppling. Hear the crack of splintering wood and the cry Timber, and a great crash? These timbers are found in mines as posts and in the tracks as ties, as well as in the pulp used to make paper cartons in which valuable supplies are packed-such as certain med- icines and chemicals. A Speaking of chemicals let us visit the plant at Newell. A country's prosperity is partly determined by the output of certain chemicals such as sulphuric acid. The manufacture of war alcohol is also an important industry. l Consider the Hillman Barge 8c Construction Company's recent launching and christen- ing of a barge. The Mon Valley's a vital workshop in the struggle for freedom for all the world. l Brownsville at the intercounty bridge looking toward West Brownsville 12 Ns '-N lit, iJ...,l NM. xl . st - -iii.

BROWNSVILLE DOES HER PART Wlalking to school in the gray dawn of a winter day we hear the rumble of the coal trucks. livery morning we see these trucks hurry by with their precious load. Brownsville ts awaken- ing to another day-a day closer to victory. 'l'he boat whistles play a lively tune signaling the locks to be ready. Gradually the mist clears away and perhaps we can now see the distillery down by the river, and the trains scur- rying past. Park and 'l'ilford are really doing an essential war time service-manufacture of war alcohol for smokeless powder, etc. The huge gates ol l.ock No. 5 receive the barges of coal with open arms for they know this is a life saving material. Our lock is an important one as seen by the fact that more tonnage passes through these gates than the Panama Canal. Down at the railroad station, one ol' the li nest buildings in town, we watch carload after carload ol' war materials speeding by. We see the crowded passenger trains coming and going. All these industries and their workmen are behind the war effort and pushing with all their might. lJon't forget our many storekeepers who cheerfully try to supply us with essen- tials. 'l'hev're doing their part too. Brownsville is really in there pitching as shown by the recent bond drive. Remember that baby bond you bought through the school? Probably right now it's being fired at the enemy in the form ol' bullets and shells. Yes, every patriotic citizen of Brownsville, who possibly can, are licking Hitler and Tojo by licking war stamps, buying bonds and giving their services willingly to the O. C. D. Every little town like Brownsville in the U. S. A. is helping to defend the home front and to up- hold our lighting front. 'l'hey're bringing back our fighting Marines, Soldiers, Sailors, XVACS. WAVES, and SPARS. Yes, Brownsville, too, is doing her share. lfi IT TAKES ALL THIS lSchool Statistics? Our faculty which consists of 32 members, has a combined total of 34 college degrees. Among these degrees are 18 B. S., 10 A. B., 3 M. E. D., and 1 M. A. degree. Our school has 29 classrooms and offers three courses: the Academic, the Commercial, and the General.. 301 students are enrolled in the Academic Course: 417, in the Commercial, and 171, in the General. We have a total of 358 students who travel by bus. There are 10 former high school teachers who are now serving in the armed forces. 7. We have 342 Boro students, 252 Lu- zerne Township, 148 Jefferson Town- ship, 74 Brownsville Township, 71 1Vest Brownsville students, and two students from Perry Township. The student body and faculty togeth- er have contributed 55114.83 to the first Red Cross Drive, 35101.58 for Christmas Seals, 3119.40 to the United Vlar Fund Drive, and sold 358 bonds in the Third Wlar Loan Drive and 499 bonds in the Fourth Y'Var Loan Drive. 14 CHAPTER TWO Front entrance of Brownsville Senior High School OUR SCHOOL Mrs. L. Miller, Prin,-West Brownsville School. WHERE WE COME FROM Many different districts are represented in the classes of Brownsville High School. The borough schools make up less than half of the total enroll- mentg the remainder comes from the outlying dis- tricts, each having its own elementary schools. In the borough of Brownsville, there are three public grade schools. Prospect Street School, largest in total enrollment, is supervised by Miss Sarah McCloy, while the smallest, Second Ward School, is under the leadership of Mrs. Mfilda Keyes. Perhaps the best known to township students because of its proximity to the Junior High School is the Front Street Gracie School, which Miss A. K. Mechein su- pervises. There are two other grade schools within the borough limits. These are the parochial schools sponsored by St. Peters' R. C. Church, under the direction of Father james Shay, and that of St. Marys' R. C. Church under the supervision of Father M. J. Yesko. Then there are other students who did not at- tend borough schools but who are also non-trans- ported pupils. St. Clair School in Brownsville Town- ship supplies many such students. The principal of this school is Mrs. Blanche Simeral, who has had wide experience with young people. The other com- munity represented by non-transported students is NVest Brownsville. Mrs. l.aura Miller this year re- placed as principal, Thomas Craig, who resigned in order to enter War industry. These schools provide about one-fifth of the student body, since there are seventy-one pupils enrolled from West Brownsville and SSVCIIIY-fOl1l from Brownsville Township. Top Row: Mr. R. D.

Luzerne Township has the largest number of Students carried by bus-a total of two hundred fifty-two. Mr. David Fitzgerald, formerly principal of the Isabella Grade School, has been Supervising Principal of Luzerne Township Schools since 1936. Included in this township are Hiller, Maxwell, lsa- bella, Central and Allison Grade Schools. The final locality represented at Brownsville Senior High is jefferson Township. Largely com- posed of rural communities, it is made up of three grade schools: Madison, Newell and Central Build- ings. From this district, one hundred forty-eight pupils travel daily. Mr. Nelson Stibitz, former prin- cipal of the Crindstone School, has been serving as Supervising Principal since Mr. Lloyd L. Evans left for Army duty. The building in which the total enrollment of the Senior High School meet for the first time is that of Brownsville junior High School, as members of Freshman classes. Here it is that most of the students for the first time lollow a program of changing classes and traveling by bus. This is the place where rules and principles for our conduct at Senior High School are laid. Overseeing this important step in our education is Mr. R. Donald Conn, who has served in this capacity since borough consolidation in l9?l4. These, then, are the districts from which we come. Here are the places where foundations are laid for our patterns we follow as Senior High stu- dents. lt takes them all to make Brownsville the successful Class A.-X school which it is.

Willard Griffin, Sr. BOARD OF EDUCATION Our Public Servants The school board has three main duties connected with taking care of the schools: financial, educational, and athletic. Mr. Sam Evans is chairman of the Building and Grounds Committee. Assisted by Roy Davis, Robert De- Laney and Wlillard Griffin, this committee takes charge of repairs and helps in keeping the school and its grounds in good condition. All repairs made by this committee are taken care of by the Finance and Purchasing Committee. Mr. john Vickers is chairman of this committee and is assisted by Howard B. Johnston, Sam Evans, and Roy Davis. This com- mittee takes care of all the problems of paying debts and buying of equipment, such as books, writing material, furniture, etc. The Athletic Committee takes into consideration the school's extra cur- ricular activities, such as football, basketball, and track. They supervise the work of the team and see that it doesn't harm our students' education. The chairman of this committee is Roy Davis, assisted by John Vickers, Howard B. Johnston, and YVillard Griffin. Our last and most important committee is the Education Committee. The committee sees to it that the students are taught the courses most needed in their future life. They supervise the kind of education we have and improve it when possible. Park YVilliams is chairman, assisted by Robert Delaney, Howard B. Iohnston, and Wlillard Griffin. The school board acts as a jury by whom all problems are treated justly and with no other thought than to better the school, and to make it a more pleasant place for the students to be educated in. The officers of the school board are: Pres., Wlillard Griffin, Sr.: Vice Pres., Sam Evansg Secretary, Howard B. Johnston, Jr. One member, Mr. Park W'illiams, is serving as an Assistant Field Direc- tor in the American Red Cross. He is stationed at Fort Knox, Kentucky. but does manage to attend some of the regularly scheduled meetings. 20 OUR GUIDE Supervising-principal Bctrner . Mr. Iiartter has been supervisor ol' Brownsville Borough School District since lllkll. During that little the overcrowd- ing at senior high school was solved by the moving ol' the general cottrse to tlte Annex or Sc cond XVard Building. Now having passed tlte peak ol' stttdent enrolltnent and tlte in- creased nttntbet' ol' withdrawals into tlte armed service and industry ottr entire student body is again under one rool. Mr. Barnet is at gradttate ol' Ktttztown Normal School, receiving ltis li. S. at Muhlenberg College attd his M. S. at the University of Pittslattrglt. Before coming to Brownsville, he served in Perry 'l'ownship and Calilornizt Borough as supervising principal. He is very active in church and com- munity service organizations. Raymond T' Barnet lltning scltool hours, nearly all his tinte is devoted toward bettering ottr educational fa- cilities, and his sincere interest in the student and his problems is appreciated by the en- tirc stttdent body. 'l'his year in particttlar he has laced the very vexing probletn ol' maintaining a complete stall' ol' teachers. 'l'here have been very few days in the entire term when all teachers were present, because illness, travel conditions, selective service, and competition with higher wages in industry, intervened.

S main hall. CDUR CLASSES 20 THE GRADUATES OF B. H. S. Commencement Day! That one day that every Senior looks forward to. There are mixed emotions, some are anxious to be finished with scholastic measures, others hate to see the end of it, but to all of us the day of graduation from high school is one of the most important events of our lives. We ended our first half of school when we entered junior high and then began a different sort of school life. That was our awkward period when we started to grow up. It was then that we girls started lo grow up. It was then that we girls and boys noticed each other as something more than a source of annoy- ance. There we learned a little of leadership as the election of class officers tool-2 place. We were far above the grade school babies, And then we entered high school. The first week we were almost trampled by those Juniors and Seniors. We couldn't seem to remember where our rooms were and crawled through the halls at a snails' pace. High school was another new life. As Sophomores we started out with George Wenick, Presidentg Rose DeZure, Vice Presidentg Marian Bakewell, Secretaryg and Clarence Stevenson, Treasurer, as our class officers. Our only activity was a successful sweater hop to help pay for the year book. After the first few days of bewilderment, we really stepped into routine, and we ended our first high school year looking forward eagerly to being Juniors. With Clarence Stevenson, President, Joseph Fortuna, Vice Presidentg Mar- ian Bakewell, Secretaryg and Paul Johns, Treasurer, as officers, we started our Junior year, and oh how we laughed at those poor little Sophomoresl YVe never once thought it possible that we had been the source of amusement just a year ago. However, we graciously guided them through the first few days of too many bells and doorways. It was hard to believe, but at last we were the dignified Seniors. At the beginning of the year we elected our fast-running halfback, Paul Johns, as President of the class. Another popular football star, Bill Sutton, proved to be a capable Vice President, and joe Drazenovich the Secretary. Iva jean Donald- son's ability to handle money placed her in the office of Treasurer. These officers, together with a committee, planned the Senior Prom. And so we have reached our year of graduation. But Commencement Day does not mean an endg it means a beginning. The beginning of the greatest task the world has ever seen. The task of building a new and better world from the shattered remnants of a war-torn earth has been given to us. It's the thing we have been preparing for all through our school life. Here we have learned democracy and tolerance-the instruments we will need in shaping the future. VVe must look ahead, ahead to that day when we can say, We had a job, and we did it well. A fitting motto for our class might be a portion of the poem Voluntaries III by Emerson: So nigh is grandeur to our dust ' So near is God to man VVhen duty whispers low, Thou must, The youth replies, I can!

CLASS OF 1946 OUR SOPHOMORES XVe-the future leaders of the Brownsville Senior High are comprised of three lumdred and thirty students, hailing from Brownsville Borough, Browns- x ille Township, Luzerne Township, Jefferson Township, and West Brownsville. Victory is the motto of the Sophomore classg not only in this war but also in scholastic standards. We are striving to be good leaders in our school as well as in our country. Our future is uncertain because of the war but we are ac- cepting our obligations as a challenge, rather than a hindrance in meeting our on-coming problem.

Tho-ugh never an outstanding hero, he performed with few flaws and did mu.ch all season to break up enemy attacks. Barney also did a great job on running interference and opening holes for his teammates. NATE' BARNETTE Although Nate was the smallest man on the Browns- ville team, he made up for his size in power and speed. Excelling in broken field running, this dashing half- back got off on many long runs. He played his best game against Donora. 4 JOHN SIMON Fayette County and Big Five Guard, were the hon- ors to come to this brilliant athlete. Time and again be- cause of heads-up ball playing and strong physical pow- er, this senior stopped plays that otherwise would have meant disaster. He was also outstanding in leading in- terference for the ball carrier. On the squad three years, this was his greatest year. BILL' SUTTON A three-letter man, Bill was known best for his magnificent football record. Rated one of the greatest pass-receivers ever to come to Brownsville High, this senior obtained a first-team berth on the Big Five and Fayette County teams. His Big Five vote was unani- mous. Bill was most outstanding during the latter part of the season. BERT SUTTON Little Bert Sutton finished third in W. P. I. A. L. scoring and is rated as one of the greatest ball-hand- lers in the history of Brownsville High School. Always considered a constant threat, this star proved it time and again by consistently cracking the opponent's de- fense. He played exceptionally well against Donora. Bert also was chosen on many all-star teams- the most outstanding o-f which, was being named on the all-state second team. PARKER DAVIS This star right-halfback, who went to the Navy after playing four games with Brownsville, was out- standing in every respect when he played against Red- sto-ne, in his last high-school game for the duration. He made a brilliant run from his halfback slot for a touch- down, and then catching a forward pass, ran for an- other. Parker would have made a great name for him- self if he could have played ten full games, but his duty to- his country came first. 64 THE CHAMPS CHUCK DRAZENOVICH Chuck, younger brother of Joe, performed glorious- ly at the center post all season. Chuck was outstanding on blocking for the entire Brownie schedule but be- came known for his great defensive play during the latter part of the season when he broke. in on many plays to smother the opponent's ball carrier before he got started. J OE DRAZENOVICH Joe is one of the two boys rated as the greatest pair of guards to hit Brownsville High School. He re- ceived second-team distinction on the Big Five Team and first-team distinction on the Fayette ourxi' Team. Joe's greatest game was against Redstone. ways a wide-awake player, he was shifted from quarter ack last gear to guard this year, where he proved to be wort his weight in gold. ROSS HEHRON This junior got his big chance against Redstone when Bill Goglin was hurt. It certainly is hard to step into the shoes of an end like Ciogl-in, but Ross did, and should be complimented on it. This Hiller lad also played basketball, and very well too. PAUL JOHNS High scorer in the W. P. I. A. L., A. A. League, and a ber on the all-State Team, were the honors be- stowed on Noodie, and rightly so, for he was credited with 130 .points this season. Also named as Big Five halfback, ohns tallied in every game except at Donora, where he was watched too close y by the entire Dragon team. BOB KRAFT .Most everyone has heard of this junior, and es.- pecially of the kick he blocked against Donora. Bob played all year at tackle-blocking, tackling, leading interference, and breaking up opposing interference exceptionally well. His best game was at Donora. DAN STIMMEL A blocking back, was Dan's title, and that is exactly what he did and exceptionally well. On de- fense, he performed gloriously m backing up the line. He received the distinction of making a touchdown, which very few Brownsville quarterbacks have ob- tained. When he led the interference, he performed as an expert. 65 THE SUCCESSFUL SEASON Nothing more quickly than competitive athletics brings out the qualities of leadership, quickness of decision, promptness of action, mental and muscular co-ordination, aggressiveness and courage. And nothing so firmly establishes that indefinable spirit of group interest and pride which we know as morale. General Douglas MacArthur This year the football team really put Brownsville on the map in the high school sports world by winning the Big Five, Fayette County, and W. P. I. A. L. A. A. championships. The team proved beyond a doubt, to some of the more skeptical individuals of the district, that they possessed the ability necessary to produce a championship team. Their defensive, as well as offensive play, im- proved as the season wore on and left nothing more to be desired. l V ' ' T' Left: A. Sepsi Top Center: Earl J. Bruce Bottom Center: J. Dudzok Right: C. Slick TH E COACH ES Mr. Bruce served three years as an assistant coach in Brownsville and in l94l was made head coach, a position which he has handled admirably ever since. He is also the Director of Athletics for all our high school sports and this season, for the second consecutive time, won the honor of being named coach of the year, by the Mon. Valley sports writers. In his method of coaching, special stress is laid on the offensive power, as was very evident in the games this year. At the football drills Mr. Bruce leads the boys in their calisthenics and not only explains but also demonstrates the plays he wishes executed. However, his time at practice was chiefly occupied in coaching the backfield and the ends. This year Mr. Bruce had as his very able assistants, Mr. Sepsi and Mr. Dud- zak, who worked with the guards and tacklesg and Mr. Slick, who led the sui- cide squad, whose duty it was to use the opponents plays against the first team. To all who are wondering, the suicide squad is the term applied to what is more commonly known as the third team or bench warmers. Under the leader- ship of Mr. Bruce and his three capable assistants, and with the same sort of spirit and cooperation, the boys displayed this past year, our hopes for the com- ing season are high. A REAL TEAM MAKES HISTORY Opener-B rownsvi I Ie-3 I East Bethlehem-O The Brownsville Brownies opened the season with an impressive victory over the East Bethlehem Bulldogs at the local stadium. All the Brownie subs were gut into the game and East Beth threatened onllly once. Bert Sutton and Noodie Jo ns each accounted for two touchdowns and ate Barnette scored the other. Monroe was the lone threat for East Beth. Passes Start Clicking-Brownsville-I9 Mosontown-O Playing a hard-fighting team from Masontown, the Brownies came out with a well-earned victory. The Brownies took to the air to score the first touchdown with Ross Herron on the receiving end. Johns and Bert Sutton again starred on the offense for the Brownies with Joe Drazenovich starring on the defense along with John Simon. Snyder played a good defensive game for Masontown. Avalanche-Brownsville-39 German-O Although it was a one sided score the game was still exciting, climaxed as it was by an 85-yard run on a punt return by Paul Noodie Johns, without a single opponent touching him. Bert Sutton, 195 pound Junior, scored two touchdowns and five extra points. Bill Goglin was lost for the rest of the season with an arm had one touchdown. Rivalry-B rownsvi I Ie--48 Redstone-22 When the final whistle blew, Brownsville was on the winning end of a free scoring ghame. Parker Davis, playing his last game before joining the Navy scored two touc downs, one a beautiful long run of 65 yards. Paul. Noodle Johns broke loose on the first play of the game for 80 yards besides scoring another touchdown and five extra points. Bill Goglin was lost for the rest of the season with an arm injury. Zieleneski and Pat Fields shone for Redstone. First Real Test-Brownsville-33 Chorleroi-I 2 With Noodie Johns playing his usual fast and furious game, Brownsville was victorious in their first Big ive encounter. Barnette, who replaced Parker Davis, along with Bert Sutton played their fine usual driving game. Joe Drazenovich and Bill Sutton seemed outstanding on the line. Lewis and Muckle proved to be Charleroi's outstanding stars. Title-BoundI-Brownsville-34 Monessen-I 2 7400 fans packed the Mill City Stadium, the largest crowd ever to jam the the stadium, to see a hard fighting Greyhound team go down in defeat. With the score standing at 14-12 at the half the Brownies took the ball on the kickoff and it was Brownsville the rest of the way as they scored three more touchdowns. Johns again went on a scoring exhibitio-n with four touchdowns and three extra points. Natilie was the lone threat for Monessen. Beekfield: N. Bornette, D. Stimmel, B. Sutton, P. Johns Llne: R.

Bert Sutton, Junior fullback, paced the offense with two touchdowns, while Noodie Johns accounted for one and also three extra points, and Bill Sutton 'took a pass from Noodle for the other touchdown. Morris played a bang-up game for Mon City. Big Five Champs !-B rownsvi I Ie-20 Donora-I 5 The Brownies became 1943 Big Five Champs by defeating Donora 20-15, but they had to come from behind the last few minutes to do- so. With Bert Sutton and Nate Barnette alternating and taking the ball down the field, Bert plunged over for all the Brownies' scores. Roscoe Ross, Donora's halfback almost proved too much for the Brownies as he scored twice. Swamped-B rownsvi I Ie-49 Un iontown-ZO Using a passing and running attack the Brownies rolled over Uniontown. The Brownies showed a fine passing attack as they completed eight passes out of eight thrown, several of which we-nt for touchdowns. The scoring was evenly divided with sco-res being made in both the first and second halves. Uniontown never threalterieogciintil the last quarter when. Brownsville's second and third teams were on t e ie . WPIAL Champs-Brownsville-33 'Connellsville-6 For the seco-nd time in four years the Brownsville Brownies became W. P. I. A. L. champions defeating Connellsville at the local stadium. Sparked by Paul l'Noodie Johns and Bert Sutton. Noodie showed some beautiful bro-ken-field running on the 89 yard dash while the line sho-wed fine blocking and defensive playing. It was the last game for Paul Johns, Joe Drazenovich, John Simon, Dan Stimmel, Barney Bakewell, and Bill Sutton. 68 George Mitchell, Eddie Fllchock, Tony Mommarellc, James Marghella, Joe Poscarell MANAGERS Good efficient managers are essential to every team. Did you ever wo-nder who lined off the field for every football game, that was played at ho-me? Who took care of the equipment and many other things that would be too numerous to mention here? Yes, you guessed it-the man- agers. With Tony Mammarella as head manager, the equipment was in capable hands. Serving under Mammarella and helping him were: Joseph Pas- carell, Eddie Filchock, George Mitchell, and James Marghella. Yes, it can truthfully be said that good man- agers are a credit to the team.

During the football season, our cheerleaders introduced a number o-f new yells, which were accepted by the students with enthusiasm. They glsod participated in several drills given by the an . The cheerleaders endeavored to arouse more interest and cooperation among the students in cheering. In this campaign, the band was present to assist with pep meetings. Members of the squad also made a tour of the sophomore homerooms to teach the newcomers the difficult yells. The captain of this group is Bob Cunningham, a senior, who managed to keep the squad very busy every moment. The other members are Ruth Ann Groah and Bill Ryan, juniorsg Betty Gene Prosser and Charles Rohrer, sophomores.

The tall rangy forward was awarded a forward berth on the Section IV All Star Team. Chuck took second place in the Section scoring race. Bll.l. SUTTON-Bill is one-hall' of Brownsville's brother act and the older of the two. He didn't get going until the last lew games, but played bang-up ball all season. Bill's best shot is a set shot from the side. Brownsville will truly miss this boy in both basketball and football next year. ROSS HERRON-Ross was not only a good defensive man and a good re- bounder, but he also crashed the scoring column in many games. He is the hardest worker of the squad. Ross made his best showing against Donora on the local court. The lanky center hails from Hiller. TONY MAMMAREI.I.A- Mummy is considered one of the best long shot BERT artists in Brownie history. He was awarded a guard position on the Section IV All Star Team. Mammy captained the Brownies this year and his graduation will cause a great loss to them next year. He is a senior in the General Course. SUTTON-Known as Little Bert, Bert was not a constant scorer, but was always in there playing a bang-up game at guard. Bert was feared by many players because of his football aggressiveness. In Bert, Mr. Lessner will have a capable guard for next. year, if he takes advantage of his opportunities. 71 Left Group-Junior Varsity Right Group-Junior High Squad Back Row: KS Swink, T.

OPENER-Brownsville-33 Monongahela-29 Playing a hard fighting Wildcat team on their court the Brownies put on a last period spree to come out of the game on the winning end.

REAL VICTORY-Brownsville-39 Charleroi-24 Taking an early lead, which was never threatened the Brownies added another win by down- ing the Charleroi Cougars on. the Brownsville court. Mammarella was high man for the Brownies while Gallagher was tops for the Cougars. III. MONESSEN JINXES-Brownsville-22 Monessen-28 In a ball game that was nip and tuck and with each team never more than three points ahead of the other, the Brownies fell apart in the last few minutes thus enabling Monessen to walk off the court with a victory. Sargent led the Brownies. Hardoby bagged 18 for Monessen. IV. SURPRISE-Brownsville-40 Donora-24 The Donora Dragons were completely bewildered as the Brownie offensive machine hit its peak against the Wunderlick five.

V. PUSHOVER-Brownsville-54 California-24 Playing on the Cubs' floor proved to be of no disadvantage to the Brownies as they easily de- feated the California Cubs. t'Chuck Sargent, Brownie forward, put on a scoring exhibition by garnering 21 points while Bill Sutton, his running mate, added 12 points to the cause. VI. REPETITION-Brownsville-49 Monongahela-33 Coming back strong in the second half, the Iron Men rolled over the Monongahela Wildcats before a large crowd at the Junior High gym.

STINGER-Brownsville-34 Donora-47 Leaving the game at half time with the score 19-18 in favor the Brownies didn't mean much as the Dragons came back strong in the fourth quarter to score 18 points, to the Brownies 5.

After Mr. Paul Carson left for the Army a new director was needed. From our Junior High School came Mr. Edward Sweadner to take over this position and to carry on the tradition of our band and instrumental groups. After graduating from East Pittsburgh High School, Mr. Sweadner attended Carnegie Institute of Technology where he received his B. A. Degree. While there, he played first trumpet in the Carnegie Tech. Symphony Orchestra. His appointment after graduation to a director- ial post in Brownsville has made for him many friends. In addition to his school activities he also directs the A Cappella Choir and is an active mem- ber of the Rotary Club. THE ORCHESTRA Although the band draws much attention away from the orchestra, never- theless, our orchestra is working as determinedly as any other group in the school. Being smaller than the band, each member receives more individual training and an opportunity to learn in all types of music. During the eighth period the orchestra practices anything from a stirring march or symphonic piece to a hot swing number. The orchestra must be pre- pared because they are often called upon to play with little notice and are expected to have a program arranged. This year they have appeared before the Rotary Club, the American Legion, and furnished the music for the Rotary Institute Lectures, and school plays. Their work has received much praise. Top Row: T.

Chorus Officers: Director Miss Gano, President John Simpson, Sec.-Treasurer Ruthann Harris CHORUS OFFICERS Our vocal department began this year under the direction of Miss Alberta YVilliams who left early in the season to accept another position. Her work has been taken over by our very talented Miss Shirley Cano. Under her direction, with the help of the president, John Simpson, and the Secretary-Treasurer, Ruthann Harris, the choruses have had many successful programs. MIXED CHORUS The largest of the choral groups is the mixed chorus. It is composed of thirty-six well-trained members who take a very active interest in the club. Even though our male members are fewer in number than in former years, the twelve that we have have proven their ability in upholding their part in the group. The group has given several formal programs which have made them well known in Brownsville and many surrounding connnunities. Also they gave a nation wide radio broadcast from WMBS, Uniontown. To further their good reputation they gave their annual Spring Concert, which threw the spotlight on the chorus, soloists and smaller groups. This gave the thirteen senior members a grand send-off from their high school choral CHYCCIAS. Front Row: M. Keibler, R. A. Johnson, D. Lewellyn, J. Goftheld, R. M. Greyshock, L. Davis, Z. Roman,' J.

Their contributions to the chorus have been of great value to all. The boys A s were chosen by popular vote of the chorus members. , Student Conductors: R. Sprowls, G. Fox, H. Byerly THIRD AND SIXTH PERIOD CHORUS The girls' highest hopes were to become more like Fred NVaring's choir and period, and twenty in the sixth period. These girls have joined in with the mixed chorus on their many public appearances and also at the radio broadcast. The girls highest hopes were to become more like Fred Waring's choir and it is believed that they have accomplished this very nicely. Miss Cano, the in- structress, has given them many different arrangements for their popular music and the girls came through very nicely for her. The girls gave the Spring Con- cert a new touch with this type of singing. This is the first year that the girls' chorus has tried popular music, and since it has been a great success, they will probably continue it in future years. 'A 1. Front Row: J. Block, K.

They made their first public appearance at the American Legion Home where they entertained with a very fit- ting patriotic program. Mixed Quartet: G. Fox, M. Keibler, N. DePcoIis, J. Simpson THE AMERICANIONS One of our 1'I1OSt popular and talented groups is the colored quartet. These boys have not only entertained the organizations of the town, but they have also added a new splendor to our basketball games. They not only sing during half-time but they also have various instrumental numbers. The boys have picked as their favorite number String Boogie which they do very well. The two new members of the quartet are Earl Robin- son and Dallas Crable and they have done a splendid job. GIRLS' TRIO The girls' trio, made up entirely of sophomores, made a marvelous record, this being their first year together. W'e believe that in their next two years of high school they will add more glory to the school's fine choral records. The girls have made many pub- lic appearances at the various organizations of our town and have proved very successful. These girls are not only members of the trio but they also claim membership in the mixed and girls' choruses. if l 3 rlf' - 1' ' 1 1. Q W. 'L 3 . K . f f 2 2 ', x ' - Q Q J' ' 5 K I Q .

Here, the future actors and actresses learn the fundamentals of the thea- ter-the art of applying make-up, back-stage work, ushering, prompting, direct' ing, and of course, acting. This year found many sophomores gaining admittance to the club and also witnessed the annual hilarious initiation ceremony. Dressed in appropriate cos- tumes, the initiates were compelled to do everything from making impromptu speeches to doing burlesque dances. The result was one grand eveningls fun and no feelings hurt. In January, Youth Takes Over, a play about high school life, was pre- sented to the public. Tom Beattie gave zest to the leading part of Albert Wfil- liams and Mary -lane Vanderbilt added spark in her role as Albert's girl, Snookie. The entire proceeds of the play went to The March of Dimes Infantile Paralysis Drive and The Service Men's Library Fund. The Radio Forum, a distinct part of the organization, this year proved to be steadily increasing in impetus. The members presented a charming playlet over the loud-speaker system during the Fourth War Loan Drive entitled, There Are No I.ittle Things. Harold Gue won for the forum added laurels when he placed third in the Annual Announcers' Contest in Uniontown, sponsored by Mrs. Marian Snyder, wife of Congressman -I. Buell Snyder. Harold has since joined the Navy. These committees helped in no little measure in making the year a success' ful one. The officers elected for the first semester were: President, Charles Sargent: vice-president, Shirley Seeseg secretary, Harold Byerlyg treasurer, Betty Dang and clerk, Dan Y'Valters. For the second term the officers were: President, Dan Walters: vice-president, Phil Moser, secretary, Sara Ann Breen, treasurer, John Simpson: and clerk, Gloria Brown. They were immeasurably aided by the presence of Miss -lean Donahey, active sponsor of the club.

Furano II Il ll ll Youth To kes Over One ol the most fascinating themes ol' present day writers is youth-their trials and tribulations, their dreams and romances. All this makes for very good entertainment but when Youth Takes Over one can expect anything to happen and it did! Youth Takes Over , a delightful comedy, about high-school life, was presented january 6, 1944 by the Dramatic Club. Tom Beattie took the lead in the P2111 of Albert X'Villiams, a very mischievous lad who was constantly annoying the school prin- cipal, played by Cyril Bognar. Tom was as- sisted in his antics by his girl-friend, Snookie, Mary jane Vanderbilt, and Red Barry, jack Brown. Swinburn Jones, a smarty- smarty boy, was aptly enacted by Alvin Green- field and his mother, Mrs. Jones, by Vilma Vig. Richard De Paolis gave a good portrayal of Gus, the husky football player and Bob Lewine was little short of a riot as Pop. The school faculty was represented by Norma De Paolis, Jay Moorhouse, Lorraine Davis, and Adelaide Trumper, all very unusual teachers. Other members of the cast were: Eleanor Dubois, as Ethel, Rose Marie Nobel, as Mrs. Rathbone: Ruth Ann Groah, as Ditsie , Rodger Hicks, as Lennie, and -lean Ann Connelly, in the part of Betty. Seo rec row C reeps On the night of February l0, IU44, a spellbound audience sat on the edges of their seats and vainly tried to figure out who killed Roderick Cage. The cause for all the excitement was Scarecrow Creeps, a thriller- diller three-act mystery presented by the Thes- pian Troupe. The play centered about Gage Manor, a ghostly old mansion. Bernard Avner had the audience completely baffled in his role of the villainous butler, Adam Throgg. There were a good many gasps when john Simpson, as Roderick Gage, seemed to rise from the dead. Sara Ann Breen will long be remem- bered for her characterization of the squeam- ish Maudie . Annabelle, Marilyn Keihler: and Amelia, Ruth Laughery: as the quarrel- ing cousins added to the general complica- tions. The romantic relief was supplied by thc eternal triangleug Norma, portrayed by Mary Ann Pascarell: Kenneth, by Harold By- erlyg and Perry, by Philip Moser. Selma Cohen and Bob Furano stole the show with their characterizations of Aunt Zinnia, the colored mammy, and her son, Trailin' Arbutus. The show came to a climax with the startling ap- pearance of a live Scarecrow who later turned out to be, to the audience's surprise. Trailin' Arbutus.

This club. under llte capable sponsorship of Miss Nicholas, has produced a higher emphasis on the quality of reading. The ambition of this elub is to promote more reading and to acquaint each student with the fiction and non-fiction world. The officers of the club are: Mary Ann Pasearell, president: Andrew Seamon, vice-president: Genevive Sprowls, secretary: and Aloe Drazenovieh. treasurer. The club is governed entirely by the Executive Committee, consisting of a representative and monthly chairman from each of Miss Nicholas' English classes. This organization is fast becoming the tnost popttlar in the school because of the interest shown by the students. Instead of the long drawn-out written book reports, they merely summarize, orally, the book that they have just fin- ished reading. livery Friday book reports may be given. This opportunity also helps the reader in his speaking ability as the reports are given before the class. Through the faithful efforts of Miss Nicholas and many active members. the club now is the proud possessor of a small library. .-Xny stttdent is permit- ted to read these books. as long as he belongs to the club. An interesting factor in the well-being of the club is the meetings that are held in each class every other Friday. .-X discussion of the types and interests of the books are brought before the group. Matty times the report on a book by a student has led another to read the same book, therefore carrying out the aims and purpose of the club. The general interest and ambition of the students keep this elub one of their favorite organizations in the school. 85 CUB SISTER AN D TRI-I-ll-Y The Tri-Hi-Y, under the sponsorship of Miss Allen, is one of the largest and most active clubs of the school. The forty-five members respond to the roll call every Monday evening with a Bible verse. New members are taken into the club each year. juniors and Seniors are elected, while the Junior Tri-Hi-Y usually sends ten members a year. These new members are initiated into the club with a formal ceremony conducted at a candlelight service Later, a humorous informal initiation is held. The object of the club is the discussion of many problems arising in the home and community, and the development of a greater sense of civic and re- ligious duty. Many things were accomplished by the club this year. The activities of the club were started by sponsoring several successful sweater hops to provide funds for the annual semi-formal dance. The Semi-formal, held on February 19, was the invitational dance for Tri-Hi-Y members and their friends. It was the most outstanding dance of the year. At Christmas time, the club provided a tree for the front hall and baskets were donated to express the girls' Yuletide Spirit. Donations were given to worthwhile charities. The Tri-Hi-Y has had a very successful and co-operative year.

After several meetings were held, an initiatory service was set for january 27, IEMA1. in the high school library. The newlyrelected president, -james Hat- field, was in charge of the meeting. The induction ceremony, which was held during the meeting, was under the sponsorship of the California Hi-Y Club. The meeting was attended by Mr. Durno, the Southwest District Representative of the Pennsylvania Y. M. C. A., who spoke briefly to the gathering. By virtue of this meeting. the Hi-Y Club became associated with the state Y. M. C. A. The club has as its regular meeting time Y'Vednesday evening at eight o'clock and its place of meeting is the Brownsville Senior High School Library. 'l'he group which started with about a membership of twelve is planning an organization which will be strong this year and one that will be able to con- tinue for many years to come. In order to do this, underclassmen will be ad- mitted into the club sometime in April. The Hi-Y has as its chief aim the establishment of the Christian ideals ol scholarship, sportsmanship, and cleanliness, both of mind and body, in the school as well as in the community. lt is toward these ends that this Hi-Y Group is striving and for which it was established.

Flati HOME ECONOMICS CLUB The Home Economics Club holds the honor of being a little different from most of the clubs in our school. These girls not only learn home-making, but they receive the op- portunity of putting their knowledge into practice. Under the careful guidance of Miss Mary McDonough, their sponsor, they help plan and prepare meals for the social events of other clubs. At the Wednesday meetings in 104 the main projects are sewing and knitting. Many servicemen at home and overseas have re- ceived sweaters and scarves knitted by these girls. The club and its officers, President, Ylfana Robinson, vice-president, Helen Nealyg secretary, Peggy Davidson, and treasurer, Sarah Contig have completed a very success- ful and worthwhile year. BIOLOGY CLUB The Biology Club is especially designed for those students who are scientifically minded or have an interest in nature and its doings. Taking hikes, per- forming experiments, dissecting, and giving special reports on various subjects such as Madam Curie, the Making of Chewing Gum, and Tuberculosis, make up the activities of the club. The club at every opportunity goes visiting to spots of scientific interest. They have been guests at California State Teachers College and plan to visit the Carnegie Museum and Buhl Planitarium in Pitts- burgh. The sponsor is Mr. Koop. Mary Dalson is Pres- ident, Ruby Maximo takes the minutes of its meet- ings, while Betty Martin, as Treasurer, has charge of the financial affairs.

Dusting and mending these books are the rhiel duties ol' the Library l.assies, who are ably directed in their eI'l'orts by Mrs. Troth. 'l'he girls aid the students by helping them find references for assignments and special reports, by keeping the books and the library in order, also by signing out or returning borrowed material. One ol the most popular features with the students is the shell' ol' current best-sellers, purchased and rented by this or- ganization. Any problems which arise from questions of the students or librarians are discussed by the club each Monday. Presiding at these meetings is Irene Parr. Her assistants include Irene I Lucas, as vice-president, Eleanor Meese, as secretaryg and I.enora E. Dubois, p Hmdy M, Stanley, D Qmngc D. Boross, E: 0'Toole E. Meese, E. .Gofes, I Lucas, L. Nichols, I. Parr Nichols, as treasurer. CREATIVE WRITING CLUB The Creative Writing Club has really blossomed under the deft hand of Miss Ethel McGinty, club sponsor. The members gather for mutual inspiration every second Tuesday at 12:15 in Room 208, and delve into the realins of lit- CTZIIUTC. The products of their pens are timely short stories, novels, and essays, to say nothing of their delightful poetry. A typical meeting deals with the tearing apart and criticizing of articles ol' would-be authors. The president, Jean Croushore, conducts all business mat- ters with a capable hand, while Stephanie VVojcik, vice-president, plans inter- esting programs and discussions. The ledger and minutes are kept by Norma .lean Husher, who is secretary-treasurer. This year, as a special project, the members are writing novels, each person writing a separate chapter. An invitation awaits all those who aspire to write to join the Creative l'Vriting Club. 3rd Row: V. Woicik, R. Biddle, W. Thorpe, J. Fenwick 2nd Row: L. Jones, D. Cope, V. Cope, L. M. Sidler, M.

These are the Words which the members of our erstwhile staff may say without any qualms of conscience. To prove this very fact, all you need do is ask Mary Ann Pascarell, our Editor-in-Chief, who was assisted in her laborious work by Marilyn Keibler, chairman of the Senior Department, Dolores Donovan, Junior Editor, and Betty Gene Prosser, Sopho- more Editor. But let us not forget the other members of the Editorial Staff, among whom are Marian Bakewell, Charlotte Schiffbauer, Mary Kaskan, Lee Gregg, and Vergena Cope, who assisted our editors in their efforts to produce a really worthwhile publication. Club write-ups were well handled by Miriam Hicks and members of her Club XVrite-ups Department, among whom are Ruth Ann Harris, Lois Sidler, and Bernard Avner. None other than Tony Mammarella, basketball star, took care of the Ath- letic Department, ably assisted by Joseph Pascarell. Our Arts Department, cap- ably handled by Audrey Sager, Iva Jean Donaldson, Phillip Moser, and Virginia Claybaugh, would not have done half so well without the help of these four students. Not to be outdone by the Editorial Staff, the Business Staff went to work soliciting for advertisements and managed to raise most of the money needed for the publication of our On-The-Mon. Rose DeZure, Senior Business Man- ager, was aided in her task of getting advertisements by Meredith Brown, -lun- ior Business Manager, Eva Skovran, Velma Vig, .Iasqueline Porter, and Robert Furano. Martha Ellien, Sophomore Business Manager, did a fine job, as did Goldie Ziskind. Last, but not least, let us not forget to mention our typists, Agnes Shenal. Jean Kielbass, Theresa Ann Behary, and Bernice VVare, who spent many long hours in trying to decipher a page of script which was handed in by one of the members of the Editorial Staff. Too much credit cannot be given to these girls. And now we have our publication! Finished, at last! We breath a sigh of relief as we lay down our pencils and read our book. We don't think it was in vain-do you? EDITORIAL STAFF Back Row: L. Steele, M, Bakewell, P. Trumper, M. Koskan, C. Sargent, M. Hicks, D, Ryan Third Row: S. Shapiro, L, Gregg, C. Schiffbauer, R. A.
