SponsoredBy THE STUDENT COUNCIL EditedBy THE JOURNALISM CLASS 1945 EDITION VOLUME X -3 -- FORE ORD In this the fourth year of World War Il we Brownies have gone on in full force despite handicaps and shortages. We, as students, have crowded into fewer busses and waited longer for our trips to school. Many of us have enjoyed to the fullest the remaining extra-curricular activities that are functioning. Still others of our number have given up these opportunities for enjoyment and tied them- selves down to part-time and full-time jobs after school, to help the war effort by releasing others or filling in for those who have left for the Service. Each month some of our Senior and junior boys have left without completing their courses to answer their draft call or enlist. The Brownie taskmasters and taskmistresses have done their share too. Teachers have taken on heavier schedules and given up their rest periods to substitute for others of the faculty who were ill, because we have so few persons to serve as substitutes today. During every month of the school term the Brownies were called upon for help in all types of drives for bonds, paper, scrap, clothing, and many other things. Our answer to these appeals has been to surpass the goals allotted to us. High Street entrance of Brownsville Senior High. Rear entrance of Senior Hugh ,L 6 fgfgr s 1 V,-1 I-1 1al,i?f.?i2il. ny. - .

In dedicating this volume to the teachers we pay a well deserved tribute to the fine men and women who have guided and trained the youth of the community for citizenship in a democratic world. To the ten members of the faculty who have been serving in the armed forces we express our thanks for your grand loyalty and send greet- ings, with sincere wishes for your safe return to us in the near future. To the seventeen women and thirteen men who have carried on the active work of school throughout the year, we wish to offer our sincere appreciation for your patience and help in piloting us through stress and strain of these war darkened years. We stand at attention to honor you for your sincere loyalty and leadership. We will strive to be worthy of the trust and faith you have in us and, in a great measure, live up to the ideals you have set before us. -5- THE LTY XVe wish lo extend special recognition Lo one group of our liicully who in years of service are the olcl guard but who in spirit :incl understanding are ever young.

R. 7 Y It I On April twelfth to a war-torn world came great tragedy-the death of Franklin D. Roosevelt-thirty-first president, friend of the people, statesman and world diplomat. This great man has taken his place beside the immortal builders of world civilization. Mr. Roosevelt carved his own niche in the world's hall of fame against odds that would have made lesser men falter. Stricken with the dreaded infantile paralysis in 1921, the prime of his life. he conquered this devastating disease and became the first American president in history to be elected for four successive terms. Under his dynamic leadership the American nation emerged from the economic depression. In the succeeding years he instituted social reforms to give the common man greater security, better living and working conditions. Then, when the very life and liberty of nations were threatened, he guided America through the crisis of Pearl Harbor and four perilous years of World War II. The greatest tribute we of the world can give to him in this tragic hour is to renew our pledge to fight on to complete victory and to secure for the world the peace he had envisioned. ...g.. ORIAM T0 THE BOYS IN SER ICE XVe pause in the rush of ogur daily tasks to bow our heads and say a prayer for the spirits of those brave lads who, just a short time ago, were numbered among the lively Brownies, but have since December 7, l94l, answered their final roll call. Their supreme sacrifice has made it possible for the rest of us to continue in the Liberty and Freedom which our forefathers secured for a precious heritage to be preserved as a birthright for the coming generations. As BHS's gold star roll of honored heroes for World War II mounts from day to day, we are ever mindful of the debt we owe these gallant men. As they have fought and died to win our safety, so we in turn must pledge our- selves to the task of creating a just and lasting peace. Then and only then we can truly prove that we are worthy of their great devotion. Their names we have not here inscribed: for of the many Brownies that we know will never return there are just as many others whose fate we do not know nor ever will learn. Yet wherever they rest in God's kind earth, we pray their spirits are at ease because they know that we will live on to try to do our best for those loved ones they left with us, and we pray our Great Master for the strength to fulfill this our duty. -9- ' l ROW IE 'Q CONTRIBUTIONS TO WAR EFFORT Time Drive Sept. 12 ....... . ........

The Office For a few weeks Miss Puglia was kept quite busy in the office checking tardiness, making appointments for students tv: see Dr. Evans concerning desired schedule changes or eliminat- ing conflicts in class assignments. Be- sides this work the office secretary was kept vtry busy making out forms for the clralit board concerning alumni called to the services. Then ol' course there came the day- a heautilul day. a bright student.. but oh, what a thought. The day before was spent just enjoying yourself and today you must suller the conse- quences. To the oll'ice we journey to obtain an excuse. Then Shirloek Virginia pursues your case, Opening Session On September 5, 1944, approximately 900 students trudgcd their way to school. They came from all directions. Up the hill, down the hill, and on busses. Students who failed to read the paper the preceding day found their name and home room numbers on the bulletin board in the front hall. During the morning periods the stu- dents received their books, and had their seats arranged. The morning went quickly and before they knew it, it was noon dismissal time. School began in the afternoon at 1:05, Some students had an eighth period class while the rest were dis- missed at 2:45. Thus began the school term of 1945. 4-if 4 .l Senior High School Office Secretory Virginia Puqlio, ot her desk cutting ci stencil, Di Monk Fvous, Principal, ousisting Jomcs Di Fionks to orrongc O chonge in his 4 loss schedule Absenteeism You were absent? Why? I don't know whether vou'll be able to go to class or not, I'll see if Dr. Evans will interview you. The little walk from the main office to the Principal's pri- vate office seems like a voyage peril- ous. The door of this private sanctum instills an everlasting fear in you. Dr. Evans cames right straight to the point. Then those cold-blooded words regis- ter, you have detention for illegal absence. Then you ask yourself, Was it worth lt? Yes sireelll' Mr, Evans continually dwelt on the fact that thoughts that lead to illegal absence should be overcome. A drive against vacationing during school was enforced to the utmost. After spend- ing a week in detention hall, any thoughts of missing school became a dream instead of reality. IMPRESSIONS OF B. H. . A Required Course All students are required to take English each semester of every year they are in school. The grammar classes are never as interesting it seems to pupils, as are the Literature or oral speech work. Nevertheless. the gram- mar sessions are the foundation for proper enjoyment of the language we speak and use every day. Small won- der, then, that we have more teachers, more classes and more students in that subject than any other in the building. Mrs. Carson Cwhose class is here pic- tured? and Miss McGinty instruct the sophomores, while Miss Nicholas, Miss Grossman and Mrs Troth are respon- sible for the Junior and Senior instruc- tion in this vital subject. Noon Doncing in The Bond Room. Between Bells Between classes is the time you re- member to tell Jane about the adorable dress Helen was wearing last night at the dance, and oh, yes, that Bo-b was with Betty instead of Cora. It's the time when anything can and does hap- pen. Shall we take Steve for example? He devetedly escorts that certain somebody to class and amidst the con- fusion, starts to go the wrong way. After having succeeded in stopping or shall we say dividing traHie by drop- ping that overstuffed notebook, the poor lad attempts to retrieve his be- longings. Half the students trip over him and in a few seconds all is silent, but not clear. A very unhappy lad arrives in class very late. But he need not look for pity- The heartless teacher merely glares at him and coldly asks, 'tWhere have you been? As I said, anything can happen. Mrs, Ccrsorrs Sophomore English Close, Noon Dancing After having had little or nothing to do during the lunch hour in the pre- vious months. the students gladly danced to the rhythm of Eddie Scott's crchestra for a half hour of real en- joyment each noon. Because of the bad Weather the band found it neces- sary to practice indoors recently elimi- nating noon dancing after three weeks. To protest would have been useless be- cause of the necessity of constant prac- tice by band members to keep their gcod rating. The students in general hope that arrangements can be made to facilitate noon dancing in the Com- ing year.

Favorite After School Meetings DRAMATIC PRODUCTIONS The chorus and Thespians com bined their efforts to produce Capers of 194 . r 5 . the first dramatic production of the year. This musical was a smash hit Lat A . er in the sea- son the Thespians produced Clar- ence . the comedy stage hit by Booth Tarkington. There were two performances of Clarence - one for adults and a matinee for the high school students. Both were en- joyed by all. MUSIC ACTIVITIES The Nifty Shoppe was presented by the chorus and its stylish models caught everyones eye-especial- ly the boys. They also sang Christmas carols for the Rotary Club and provided the anthem for the recog- nition service. The annual sprili concert of the chorus was a huge success. SOCIAL FUNCTION Highlighting the social activities of the school was the Tri-Hi-Y Christmas semi-formal dance. Every one will admit they had a good time at that dance. Other social affairs held were-a Box Social. Youth Planning dances. ice skating, and other dances sponsored by various clubs in the school. OTHER CLUBS The Forensic Club is one of the newer clubs in the school. It has debated against over twenty schools They have traveled to other towns to debate and also been hosts to visiting teams. The club has lost very iew debates and has been highly successful. Creative Writing. Home Economics. Rifle. Library. Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y are all older clubs and as active as usual.

How ot To w'I'1t6 An Engllsh Theme BY Iva l-'rt-1'1'c:in:R Getting an on an linglish theme is just abottt as hard as getting a pound ol' butter. However, there is a definite pro- cedure to lollow. First, choose a subject. lhis is very simple. Many teachers like to read about the beautiful dantlelions, or abottt corpses lloating in a muddy river, or abottt some solid old subject like, say, YVhy the good old U. S. is the greatest country. .Xnd remember to keep your topic broad so you can use plenty of words to hem in the edges. ll' you can only write six pages, lor- get it. One way to remember it is to write things the hard way. Never say what you mean. always elaborate and manage to get a l,ana Turner instead of a Vera Vague or Zasu Pitts. Never ttse blunt phrases like he lell down and broke his neck. Say, the major part ol' his anatomy responded to gravitational pull, as a result ol' which his third xertebrae received a nasty sever- ance. Above all. don't use topic sentences. 'l'hey are too obvious. and you must he subtle. Make the teacher guess what you are writing about. ll' you must have topic sentences. write a paragraph of them. You must be dogmatic, convincing. Donlt tell what you thinkw-your instructor doesn't care. Don't worry about sentence structure: lfrank Sinatra doesn't worry about musir. Nlost teachers don't see how pupils can write sentences just lull ol' mistakes. Show you ire a genius and make your whole theme lull ol' mistakes. And as a last re- mark. il' you ever get in a pinch don't hesitate to borrow a sentence. Don't hesi' tate to borrow a whole theme. Don't bother abottt tjuotations. just make a lootnote saying, : l'his essay on the Superiority ol' .Xgriculture to Commerce, was copied directly from Thomas -jeffer- son's letter ol' the same name. This will undoubtedly allect your grade very much. P. S. 'lhen plan a topic to write abottt when you repeat linglish the following year.

Winter Vacation Our lirst teal taste of snow, which came on Dec. ll, gave tts an unexpected but welcome vacation. Monday afternoon, December llth, th: sky began to darken about one o'clock and by two-forty-five when the busses came for the township students a white blanket of mammoth snow flakes covered everything. Little did anyone realize at that moment the depth the snow would reach by tnorn- ingl Beautiful and unreal as the landscape appeared, it was cold!! The blizzard para- lyzed all traffic. About hall' the borough students plowed through knee deep snow to report to school on Tuesday morning. Wfalk- ing was a task for it tneant breaking a path. For the balance ol' the week, since the busses could not get into town with township students. schools were closed. For seven successive Mon- ... Y, Second Street, the afternoon following the blizzard. days we had re-occurring snow storms. As a re- sult of these snowfalls two more days of school were lost in january, necessitating a revision of the calendar which set the last ol' school as june l2. I9-15. Examination Time In every school term there comes a time for tests. Such mishaps as examinations occur regue larly every six weeks. Before the students have given it a thought there are semester exatns with which to wrestle. Little love is lost upon the poor teachers who support the practice of fre- quent quizzes. Despite all difficulties there is a real satisfaction in the successful mastering of this hurdle. Semester exam papers are kept for reference and test grades play an important part in determining Hnal grades. pring Fever After such a severe winter the sudden transt tion in March to the exceptionally early spun' set every Senior dreaming of the close of school. Sophomores and juniors became restless and turned eyes filled with longing toward the world outside classroom windows, so inviting in its fresh coat of green. B.

IEJ44, many people witnessed an interesting scene. The Seniors in their blue and white robes entered from the right and left ol' the field. NVith measured tread they moved to tl1e melody ol' The University Grand-lNlarch, played by the Brownsville Senior High School Band. The program opened with an invocation de- livered by Father Yesko and was continued by Supervising Principal R. T. Barner, who intro- duced the guest speaker, Dr. Fred B. Carson, President ol' Dickinson College. Mr. Carson's address. The Compulsions of Life, was de' livered with noticeable vigor. The graduates listened attentively lor they knew this subject now had meaning ol' utmost importance to them since they were embarking on the highway ol' life. clude- taken. --g5- Our Custodial forces iri- Left: Mr. Wallace Living- ston twho for the past six- teen years has served as janitor in B.

' f BPOWHIC Chlef Of Staff i I Supervising Principal Raymond 'll Barner is now giving his fourth year of service to Browns- ville Borough Public Schools. A graduate of Kutltown Normal School, he received his B. S. ' at Muhlenberg College and his IXLB. at the Uni- versity of Pittsburgh. Before coming to Browns- l ville he served California Borough in the same capacity, and prior to that he held similar posi- tions at Rockwood Borough and Perry 'l'own- ship. During his four years he has helped the Senior High School solve its problems of overcrowding by moving the general courses to the Annex at the Second X'Vard Building. Now, due to de- creasing student enrollment. our student body is again all under one roof, but Mr. Barner has no more free time than previously. In addition to his school duties he serves as a member of the Ration Board, the YVar Drive Committees. the Youth Planning Commission, Red Cross. Cloth- ing. and Scrap Drives. He is active in church work. and l1as served as President of the Browns- ville Rotary Club during the past year. Recently he has been actively engaged in helping to pro- mote school legislation for teachers salaries. Supervising Principal Raymond T. Burner Messa e To Parents The students of Brownsville High School pre- sent to you this fourth war-time issue of the yearbook On-The-Mon. As you read your copy you will undoubtedly be aware of the fact that Mr. Borner of work in his office it tells the story of a long, hard war. Matty students whose pictures appear in the yearbook will have gone forth to war. Even teachers who may have served during this school year have been replaced by others. Our teaching person- nel has changed much during these four War vears. However, the Spirit of Brownsville High School marches on. You, the parents and friends of the school, have been most patient and cooperative. The faculty, the administration. and the board of education all wish to express their appreciation for that spirit. This book honors all those who have attended school in Brownsville and who have paid the supreme sacrifice that our ideals of freedom might be perpetuated. ,It is quite fitting that we pause a moment to pay tribute to those who gave their lives to preserve our ideals. As you read this issue you will be nearer to world peace. My wish for you is a peace in IQ45 that will be both just and durable. -29- Dr. Mark Evans, Principal In l93l Mark M. Evans left Dickinson College with his Bachelor of Philosophy Degree to take his first teaching position in the South Browns- ville junior-Senior High School. Until consoli- dation he taught American History and Civics to the seventh, eighth, and ninth grade classes and worked on his masters degree. With the reorganization of the joint schools of greater Brownsville in 1934 Mr. Evans became principal of the Prospect Street Elementary School. After receiving his Master of Education degree at the University of Pittsburgh in 1935 he continued his studies, completing his Doc- torate in l942 with the dissertation Effect of Variable Grouping on Reading Achievement. A year later, the entrance of Principal Robert E. Austin into the armed services transferred Dr. Evans to the Senior High School office for the war's duration. He has worked hard to main- tain regular standards in the school, despite war shortages, reduced faculty personnel, and stu- dent withdrawals. Senior High Leader To The Class of 1945 The class of 1945 is our fourth World YVar II graduating class. Members of this class as well as so many other young' people have not known what it is to live in normal times. Many years of your lives have been spent in years of eco- nomic depression and in war time. The challenge of the day is evident in the tasks which confront you and in the job which lies ahead for you. Many of you will make your own decisions as to what part you will play in life after graduation, but others of you must serve in a given capacity. While this is a period of confusion in many respects, let us 11ot be unmindful that the occa- sion also offers great opportunities for you. In no other time in history has the responsibility of world brotherhood and human service rested so largely on the shoulders of young people. Your opportunity to serve in making the world truly christian and democratic is unlimited. To serve worthily you must be expandable as so many others have been. The challenge for you, then, is found in the words from Browning: Ah, but ll man's reach should exceed his grasp, Or what's a heaven for. MM 1 ..30.. l l l l 1 l-iffwfiffwfe ADDIS, EDWIN P.--B. S.

To the present student body there are faculty members who are known to them only names or by pictures. Since these men have left for service all the students who were in their classes have graduated and the students now in school have never had the pleasure of making their acquaintance. XVhen our former principal, Mr. Robert Aus- tin, left for the service three years ago, he was soon followed by nine of our male teachers. It does not seem three years since we have seen this part of the faculty walking through town or have heard them talked about by our older brothers and sisters. Captain Austin is now sta- tioned with the Army Air Corps in Florida. Two years ago, Paul Carson was busy preparing a band concert, and now he is a corporal some- where in Germany. Two years and a hall' in the Navy has given our former chemistry teacher, Smith Coldren, the rank of.Lieutenant, Senior Grade. 'l'homas Easton is now a corporal at Fort Myer, Florida. Captain Samuel Jacobs has been overseas with the Army for over a year now. Bernard McCormick left our linglish Depart- ment to become a member in the Quartermaster Corps and is now a Captain. Pvt. joe McCune, our former assistant football coach, who has been located in' the South Pacific, recently re- turned to the United States to attend O. C. S. R. Swearingen left the manual arts depart- ment three years ago to become Petty Officer lfc Swearingen. Yeoman llc Harry iValker, assist- ant principal in 1942-43, is now stationed at a naval shipping base. lst Lieutenant Matthew Mfasko is now a Marine in the South Pacific. The remaining faculty members and the stu- dents of B. H. are very proud of these men representing us in every theater of the war and every corner of the globe. We all extend to them our wishes of good luck and a speedy return home. VVe also congratulate them on the ad- vancement in rank which they have made in the past year. Capt. R. E.

PRELUDE T0 SE ORS ln years to come, when we read through this yearbook, it will bring back memories not wholly forgotten: Our first years ol' grade school, junior high and then that rontantic adventure ol' being a sophomore! The hustle and lmrry in the halls, trying to find classrooms and study halls. Yes, we were wide-eyed when a senior walked by. ln our junior year everyone studied diligently, so that he would be sure to become a senior. The Rotary Club had speakers at the Plaza 'l'heater, where we heard tnen from China, Can- ada, Australia, and other countries. 'l'hen we became Seniors! .Xt our class election in the Plaza 'l'heater we exercised one of our rights according to school law: 'l'hat is to as- semble and elect. officers, for the class. Yes, we were very entltusiastic. And il' anyone would not have known, he might have thought it a national presidential convention, with the catn- paigning, speech-making, and anxiety we ex- perienced. So we are not altogether ignoram when it contes to the democratic way ol' life. Do you know that our battd is comprised ol' mostly seniors? Yes, we went out for school ac- tivities, sweater hops, football and basketball, to say nothing of' the Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y initta- tions. Those were the days we will carry with us, things no one can borrow or take away. Memories! Now wel are those envied, so-called sophisti- cated seniors. But we are just as wide-eyed and uncertain as when we were sophomores. Wle are leaving one life and embarking upon another. lt is all new and we are inexperienced again. This time we take our place in society as students, workers, citizens. and servicemen. This time our job is tnore serious than book reports and chemistry lessons. But we'll pull through, as did those timid sophomores who are now graduating. Because we are the future of Amer- ica, and America's future is ours! NVe will be. as limerson says, A NA'l'lON'S BllILDliRS. Not gold, but only rt man can nmkf' .4 pcoplr' great and Sfl'0I'Ig-- Men wlio, for trttllt and llUll0l',S srikr, Stand fast and .Stiller long. limw' llI!'lI, who work wliilr' ofliers sleep, Who claw' zuliilrf otllers fly-- Tliey build ri mttionft pillars deep And lift them to the sky.

After a while we ba- came accustomed to the building, hall traffic, and numerous other details. tLeft to right! President Chester Riffle, Treasurer John Cindric, Secfcmfv 50m Nicolas Last autumn, when we came back to school, we, being more sell'-confident, thoroughly en- joyed helping along struggling beginners. 'l'hough we juniors seemingly take no other important part in the average school year, we do exist. You will find that we are characters that stay fresh in your tnind as one of the jolliest grottps you have ever met. Each junior is an individual in his stttdies, ideas, and background. But these individualities do not entitle anyone to privileges. NVe receive equal privileges and punishments. Sometimes we feel we have been treated unfairly and object to detention or make-up work. mainly because we dislike admitting that we were wrong. As a whole the jttnior class, consisting of l7l boys and ll8 girls, has a fairly good record. XVe have proved ourselves capable for the most lJ2ll'l. 'l'hough there are some problem sttt- dents, the greater portion ol' these have been corrected by enforced school laws. This year the juniors experimented with a new voting system by gathering at the Plaza theater to hold an election. 'l'wo major parties were present-the well-organized General students and the split ticket Commercials and .rXcademics. The General students won the election and selected as class officers President, Chester Riffleg Vice President, Leo Mays: Secretary, Sam Nicola. and 'l'reasurer, john Cindric. These boys and their classmates become next year's seniors. XVe liope to graduate as a successfttl class ol' which. B. H. S. can be prottd. JUNIORS WHO WERE TOO SHY ACKLIN, ELEANOR-Com.-Boro.

Class of 194 On our first day in High School, we enter- ed the front door lacking selfaconfidenee. But as time went by we gained more confidenceg we took things as they came, and we entered into the activities of the school just as if we had been here for two or three years. The Sophomore class consists of 186 girls and I37 boys. They hail from Brownsville Boro., Brownsville Township, Luzerne Town- ship, Jefferson Township, XVest Brownsville, and Perry Township. It looks as if the girls will dominate the boys, but the boys will be able to hold their own. All are trying to get the most out of their education as we will be the future leaders of our communities as well as our country. Next year we shall look forward to being able to enter secure of our position. Our year's experience with the school habits and laws will be invaluable. In the past year we have worked together. X'Ve feel ourselves growing and swell- ing like a wave coming in to shore. Our class has started and is rapidly gaining in prestige. By the time we are seniors we feel sure that we shall be well established and able to cope with our problems. So we say good-bye to our strug- gling sophomore days. YVish us luck on our new venture.

On a hot day last August tn front ol tlte lirownsville Senior High could be seen a large crowd of boys with all sorts of bundles and bag- gage. The inquiring citilens of Brownsville found thetn to be the football players, off to Kiwanis camp in the mountains. After much delay the last car was filled to its capacity and the caravan began its journey. The boys waved their farewell to Brownsville. Tlte boys arrived at camp and found their hunks and then it all began. They had football for breakfast, dinner and supper and even be- fore bed time. livery available minute was crammed with hard work, exercises, and football. Under the guidance of Mr. Bruce, Mr. Sepsi, and Mr. Slick the boys were drilled daily in vi' 1 rain. which was plentiful during those two weeks, and also the hot sun. One afternoon. as a treat, the boys were allowed to go swimming and to lie around re- laxing. Most of the boys found time to write home a few litnes and to let their families and friends know how they were making out at camp. Then after twelve days the boys returned to Brownsville the same caravan of cars filled with boys and gear. This titne the unloading was quick as the boys were anxious to get home. The eitilens saw the change in them for they were tanned and very healthy looking. School began and so did the daily workouts at the athletic field. lf you happened to drive out to the stadium in VVoodward Plan, you would no uns L i i I945 FOOTBALL SQUAD FIRST ROW-Dick Beeson, James Davoli, James Edwards, Clayborn VVright, Chester Riffle, Ronald Johns, Walter Gemmel, Charles Simpson James Sweitzer, SECOND ROW-James Shoaf, Laois Roberts, John Kozis, Ben Forte, Vernon Flick, Bob Krueter, Bert Sutton, Chuck Drazenovich, Nate Bar nette, Pete Wtdmer, Jim Paloney.

EARL BRUCE-Head Coach-Mr. Bruce came to us after spending eight years as head coach of football, basketball and baseball at Bell Townshirp. While attending California Normal for two years, Mr. Bruce played football, basketball and baseball. While finishing his education at Washington and Jefferson College, he participated in football and track. In 1937 Mr. Bruce came to Brownsville High School and in 1941 he became head coach of the Brownsville football squad- It was under his excellent leadership that Brownsville won the W. P. I. A- L- Championship in 1943. MR. ANDREW SEPSI-Assistant Coach-Mr. Sepsi, an alumnus of Brownsville High School, started to teach here in 1936. In 1937, he joined the Football Staff- He proved his worth in the first year by taking the greenest material and making finished products of it- He works with the linemen, teaching them the art of blocking and running interference. He is interested in all sports, but football occupies most o-f his time, because in hadditionito coaching, he also officiates in many of the district high school games- His. fairness in handhng his own, as well as other teams, has made him one of the most popular coaches in the county. He goes to Redstone next season as head football coach- B- H. S. will miss him- MR. JOSEPH DUDZAK-Former Faculty Manager-In October of this school year, Browns- ville High School lost a vital member of the teaching staff, a very capable member of the coach- ing staff, and its faculty manager of athletics. This may sound like three people, but it was only one who- did the work of three-Mr- Joseph Dudzak- Upon his graduation from Duquesne University, he took a position here at Brownsville High School, where he taugh United States History for nine years. When he left in the fall of 1944 to accept a position with an insurance firm, Mr- Norman re- placed him in the classroom and Mr. Slick took over his duties as faculty manager of athletics- MR CHARLES SLICK-Takes Over-Mr. Slick became our new business manager this year after Mr. Dudzak resigned to go into private business. Mr- Slick, Whose first and only teaching position was here at Brownsville High School, has been with us for six years- For the past two years he has been an assistant coach of the Browns- ville High School team- He has much to do after football season, such as, seeing that tzhe football equipment gets cleaned, repaired, and stored until the next season. He must also make contracts for the coming football season- Because of the numerous necessary details for which he is responsible, Mr. Slick is considered a very important factor in the football machine. 40 Charles Slick Bruce, Sepsi, Slick Andrew Sepsi BROWNIES- -UPS AND DOWNS Om' Gaim' Played-Om' Gnmf' Won! Brownsville-46 East. Bethlehem-0 Yes. the Brownies executed a real victory over East Beth in the first game of the season. Sutton. Herron, and Barnette scored touchdowns-while Simpson and Kreuter scampered acrossed that line for two apiece. Both substitute teams had a hand in defeat- ing the visitor. Red Simpson. a freshman sub- stitute. proved to be a promising player for the local fans to keep an eye on. As it happened East Beth failed to score. while the Brownies marked up 46 points. And so-everybody went home feel- ing happy-at least from B- H. S. Warm-11 p Brownsville-43 German Twp.-6 The second game of the season was only a warm-up for the Brownie Powerhouse as they plowed through German Township 43-6. It was a team victory as every player shared in the glory. Bert Sutton sco-red two touchdowns and the others were made by Nate Barnette. Ross Herron, Red Simpson, Beetle Billups. and Chuck Drazenovich. ' Throughout the game the line was outstand- ing with Chuck Drazenovich leading the way. Before the end of the first quarter the Brownies scored 19.points. German Township scored in the final period when Joe Curtis passed to Mike Bakack for their only touchdown.

Nate Barnette paced the offensive for a touch- down and two- extra points. while Little Bert Sutto-n accounted for the other touchdown. Ben Forte and Chuck Drazenovich led the Brownie defense.

Although the Brownie team was the victor. that was not quite enough to make the game as exciting and interesting as others.

The Brownies played sluggish ball while the Greyhounds were overpowering. Many fans went away downhearted to see the Brownies put out of the W. P. I. A. L. running. Chester Rif- fle scored a touchdovm, when he intercepted a Monessen pass.. Simpson scored on a triple reverse. Cumpson and Natali scored for the Greyho-unds.

Nate Ba - nette cored all 14 points for the home town team. In. the second half there was no scoring. The Brownies drove the ball to Mon City's three-yard line but lost it on downs.

The T formation of the Do-nora Drag- ons kept the boys on their toes all evening. The Dragons' Roscoe Ross could not be stopped as he gained ground time and again. Don't think that Mr. Ross ran away with the Bfrownies because he was stopped often by Ben Forte and Ross Herron.. The boys fought and fought hard throughout the game but the T formation overpowered them. The Brownies took to the air in a desperate attempt to outscore the Dragons. Nate Barnette continued to hurl the pilgskin to Ross Herron who played a real ball game all the way and he scored 2 touchdowns to save us from ending up with a 0 on our record. Tlhe fans., although greatly disap- pointed at our loss, were consoled because they knew the boys did their best and took the defeat in their stride. Bark to Life Brownsville-l 9 Uniontown-6 Playing a furious game, the Brownies came from behind in the second half to defeat the Un- iontown Red Raiders in their sixth victory of the season. Paloney, who replaced the injured Herron, brought the fans, to their feet when he booted the pigskin from his own 25-yard line to the op- ponents 2-yard line. Bert Sutton accounted for two touchdowns and the extra point, while Bill Billups scored the final marker in the last half. Marker proved to be Uniontown's outstanding star. This tilt was one of the cleanest played by the two schools, as only a few penalties were called during the ball game. A Sad Ending Conncllsville- l 8 Brownsville-12 The Brownsville football squad brought its season to an end with a sad finish, as the Con- nellsville Cokers came up with two scores in the last quarter. Co-nnellsville's victory over the Brownies threw the Fayette County Champion- ship race into a three-way tie, as Uniontown beat Cc-nnellsville and Brownsville beat Uniontown. Jimmy Robinson and Lou Mo-linaro starred for the victors, when in the last quarter they went over the lines without any interference from the Brownies. At the beginning of the fourth quarter a fumble brought about the change in the winning course of the game. From the beginning of the last quarter after the fumble, the Cokers made five plays and they were over the line, which brought the game to a 12-12 tie. In the next few minutes of the game, the Cokers brought the fans to their feet in be- wildered amazement, as the Cokers made another ta y. Barnette, Billips, and Sutton starred for the Brownies, as they made so-me outstanding plays. Both teams fought hard back and forth in the first three quarters. but in the fourth quarter, Connellsville came up with the two final tallies winning the game with an 18-12 victory- Lucky in Love-Unlurky in Assignment When duty calls, our substitutes of the sec- ond and, third team must be prepared and ready to fill the positions required of them. They are well trained to perform this task, as they tumble, tug, and tighten the grip out on the practice field. The work of these boys should be higlhly com- mended, as they use up their energy, without any hopeful outlook of ever entering a game. Their only consolation. is hoping for a position in that next game. Little recognition is given to the efforts put fortlr by these boys, for many of the fans do not realize their importance to the coach and also their value to the team. Many o-f the spectators fail to see and are not aware of the fact that without substitutes, a first team would be at a total standstill in case of an emergency. Since the hardships of these boys, are so many in num- ber, we, the student body, salute them. Members of the second team are as follows: Beeson, Riffle, Simpso-n, Paloney, Palmer, John- son, Taylor and Davis. Members of the third team are as follows: Darvoli, Edwards, Wright, Gemmel, Sweitzer, Shoaf, Behary, Johnson, Valco and Johns. BROWNIES FIRST STRING NATE BARNETTE-Left haff-back This year Brownsville's squad will lose one of its most capable left half-backs, Nate Barnette. As co-captain of o-ur squad this past season, he did a great job. He played through three seasons for our squad and did a good job of it. He was on the line-up for every game and played success- full throughout. The Brownsville fans feel that no one will ever be able to take Barnette's place in the Herron-Bar- nette pass combination. and they will miss his outstanding ability. Rating: Second Team-All-County. BERT SUTTON-Fullback Bert Sutton will. leave B. H. S. as a football star to be well remembered. Known by his friends as Little Bert, he weighs approximately 205 gounds. As the last of the long line of Suttons, ert has received many individual honorsg and was named as the most outstanding player of the W. P. I A. L. team for 1944. Bert has held the position of fullback on the squad for four years. He hails from Brownsville, as the rest of the Suttons. The student body, and the fans, will miss Bert's outstanding ability. Ratings: Mon Valley Big Five, All-State Team, All-County Team. LOUIS ROBERTS-Right End Altlhough this is Lou's first year with the team it was not a handicap to him as he proved to be one of the most valuable players on the squad. This 15-year-old yo-uth began the season as full- back on the second team, but later he was shifted to right end on the first team. We will always remember his outstanding play in the Uniontown game when he knocked the ball from Murray's and and recovered it to lead Brownsville on to- ward a touchdown. We will have something to look forward to in this player as he has two more years with the eam. CHARLES DRAZENOVICH-Tackle Chuck is the second and last Drazenovich on our Brownie squad. He hails from West Browns- ville and is enrolled in the General Course. For the first two- years Chuck played the position of center. and completed his career in football as tackle throughout the 1944 season. Along with Ross Herron, Chuck has re- ceived a scholarship to Penn State, from where we will expect to hear of his successful work in the coming season. Ratings: All-County Team, Big Five Team. ROBERT KREUTER-Center This was Bob's last year at B. H. S. As center this was his first year on the first team, although he has been on the squad for three years. He is a very good linesman and played his best against the Redstone Black Hawks. Bob, who hails from Newell, does not care much for practice except on Thursday night. Ratings: Big Five Second Team, All-County Team, Honorab e Mentions. JOHN KOZIS-Righi Guard Although Uh-is was Kozis's third year on the Brownsville football squad, it was his first year on the first team. He played outstanding football at right guard and was well liked by everyone who knew him. I He was a junior this year, but was called upon by Uncle Sam and left for the Navy on November 28, 1944. The football fans from Brownsville will certainly miss John's ability at right guard next season. JAMES WIDMER-Quarterback 'llhe Browns.ville football eleven would have been at a loss this year if it had not been for the relentless efforts of James Pete Widmer. Pete filled the position of quarterback with the ease and grace of a veteran player. He played a marvelous game of ball against Uniontown and should be commended highly. The sophomore class is proud to have Pete in its ranks. Our quarterback hails from Newell where he is a very popular lad. WILLIAM BILLUPS-Right Halfback Billups is known as Beetle by all 'his friends and teammates. Beetle is a senior this year and had been a member of the squad two years previous to this one. Faking, passing, and running the ball are i'Beetle's specialties, and he does them all well. He was kept out of two games because of an in- jury received in the Charleroi game. Beetle has left and is in the army and we are sure that he will be as successful there as on the gridiron. Ratings: All-County, Honorable Mention. ROSS HERRON--Left End This was Ross's last season with the team. He has been a hard worker and pep promoter for the team all year. He filled, very successfully the po- sition of left end and pass receiver. Barnette to Herron became one of the best pass combinations in the valley and it will long be remembered. This past season was Ross's second year on the first team. and his best. His season was cut short by a knee injury, but that didn't lessen his Xalue to the team because he kept cheering the oys. Ratings: All County Team. Big Five Team, W. P. I. A. L.-Honorable Mention. VERNON FLICK-Right Tackle ' At rigahtt tackle we find Vernon Flick. a sen- ior. Vernon has been on the squad for two years, the last of which was spent on the first team. Flick is a likable seventeen,-year old who expects to leave for the Merchant Marines in the near future. Flick's job is to block on the offensive and to tackle on the defensive which he does well. His favorite game was the last one of the season, with Connellsville. BEN FORTH-Left Guard Showing great promise for the future year, Ben Forte has done a great deal to aid the Brown- ies in their victories this past season. Ben is a junior, and although he has been on the squad for two years, this was his first year on the first team. Due to injuries he was kept out of two games. Ben. is noted as a good defensive and offensive guard, and played his best game against Redstone. t Ratings: All County Team, Big Five second eam. LEO MAYS-Right End Filling out very capably the position of right end on our squad was Leo Mays, a junior. Leo played in all of the games except two and his absence then was due to injuries received in prev- ious games. This was Leo's first year on the first eam. Louis Roberts took over Leo's position after his injuries and for the remainder of the season they alternated this position. Rating: All County Team. TOP: Nate Barnette, L. H.-Bert Sutton, F.

The cheerleaders were selected by holding tryouts and were chosen for their ability to learn quickly as well as to do the cheers well. Also they are compared in size with the others in the squad. It is the opinion of many that our choice of cheerleaders is splendid. ESSENTIAL BUT SELDOM COMMENDED-THE MANAGERS The smaller boys one sees sitting on the benches during the games. in outfits of miscel- laneous pickups , are the boys behind the game, as well as the team-the managers. A football game would be a difficult proced- ure to put over successfully, if it were not for their untiring work. If the gridiron was not mark- ed off, if the players' equipment was not clean and well taken care ofg if the players themselves are not kept in good shapeg the game would be lost before it started. These are the boys we never hear about and their glory-the unseen glory-is in total dark- ness to the general public, and fans, as well as to the students. That is why we have taken spe- cial care to give these boys mention. The coaches would be at a to-tal loss without the faithful services of these boys. Under the excellent leadership of George Mitchell, Guy DeAngelis, Billy Prosser, Charles Cunningham, To-mmy Cottom, and Joe Pascarell, the managers have completed a job well done. :ottom Left: Our managers cleaning equipment Center Top-Football Managers: Charles Cun- in the dressing room at -the field. h I ninghcml Thomas Conomf Andy Sepsil Guy Bottom Right: In the dressing room at the onfCu51c:?'Aghg2 t-lgorxggghowl gggi3ir'M?fcC:1LiS DeAngelis, George Mitchell, Bill Prosser. football field, Bruce is teaching a new play.

Under the capable assistance of Coaches. Earl Bruce and Charles Slick, the boys began their training for the new season. Their training consisted of daily practice at the base- ball diamond at the rear of the Woodward Plan Stadium. The 1944 season began in April and the maj- or part of it consisted of twelve League Games. These league games determine the final placement a team receives in the W. P. I. A. L. The season WAR CURTAILS NO TRACK - NO GIRLS' ACTIVITIES The Sports. Staff of the Brownsville 'tOn The Mon feels that the reader should have an expla- nation as to why no track review and no girls' sports are listed in our yearbook. We are sorry to say that under the present athletic set up. there are no feminine activities lasted until the middle part of May and the Brownsville Squad won third place in section six of the W. P. I. A. L., winning eight games and losing four. With John Strycula as top-notcher on the team, the squad completed the league games with an average rating. As spring is in the air once more, one is able to find the 1945 squad out on the diamond prac- ticing once again. This spring we are looking forward to an eventful and successful season. So far this year we have played two- games and won two. As the season progresses well into the month of May. its outlook is fruitful. SOME SPORTS in sports and we do not possess an active track team. We attribute this catastrope-as it is re- ferred to by the students-to the fact that the war emergency is responsible for both of these problems. We can only hope that in the future. our school will be better equipped to take care of both of these activities., and better all around programs which will reach the feminine as well as masculine group thru intra-mural tournaments and class programs.

Addis-Assistant Basketball Coach Mr. Addis has been in the basketball coach- ing busintss tor two years. During these two years, this work was dcne in different parts of the Brcwnsvillt school system. For one year he was head coach of basketball at the Brownsville Jun- ittr High Sehtol and this past year he was assis- tant coach of basketball at the Brownsville Sen- ior High Schocl. Mr. Addis attended California State Teachers College and theri he participated in many extra- curricular activities and sports. His hobby is ath- letics of all types. Mr. Addis, being an ex-Navy man. does. not mind practicing late at night and working hard to help the boys. Since Mr. Addis has done such an excellent job in teaching as will working with the bas- ketball team. we hope to have him working on our faculty in future years. I' BASKETBALL Mr. John Lessner-Head Basketball Coach Brownsville is very proud to have the capable leadership of Coach Lessner in training our Brownies in basketball. Mr. Lessner was a student oi South Brownsville High and later attended Bethany College in West Virginia. While attend- ing school. he participated in all the athletics which were offered. Our coach has taught at different schools in Monongahela Township and Greene County. He has been with us for nineteen years and has held the posit.ion of basketball coach for fifteen years. which is quite a record. As a basketball coach. Mr. Lessner can be ex- celled by few. Every player on the team agrees that he is tops and that it is through his capable guidance that they are able to win over their opponents. Coach Lessner demands strict train- ing and most of the team members have been faithful in this respect. He dislikes sloppy work and stresses neatness and efficiency in everything he does and he expects. the same from his team. His enthusiasm aids a great. deal in keeping up the morale of the team. Although Mr. Lessner has done a marvelous job in the past welre sure he is to do even bctter in the future.

The Brownies kept in there fighting all the way but without success. JUST AS EXPECTED Brownsville-23 Dono-ra-52 The Donora Dragons gave a razzle-dazzle ex- hibition on February 17th before the largest crowd of the season. Brownsville showed good form at times in the ball game but the boys fell off in their shooting as they missed shot after shot.. SAD ENDING Brownsville-36 California-37 The Brownies, season ended in a heart-break- ing defeat as the California Cubs edged them out of a 37 to 36 score. Red Simpson was in there shooting the whole game and ended up with 13 points to his credit. Frank Kandis was the high scorer for the Cubs. BEFORE THE GAME Top: Legt to right: G. Seoly, B.

Chuck Sargent. Chuck played his best game against Monongahela. and in the Redstone game. he mode a foul shot that determined our victory. GEORGE SEALY-Guard George is a senior in the general course this year and also captain of the Brownie quintet. He was a good defensive man and did a great de-al to further the scoring of the team. It will be the graduation of this dark-haired lad that will cause a great loss to the Brownies next season. LOUIS ROBERTS-Center There is no doubt in the minds of our basket- ball boosters as. to the value of this lively sopho- more center. Lou has proved quite capable of holding back the opponent and also in running up the Brownsville scores. Due to his good work Lou has been given the title of most valuable sophomore player in the county. THOMAS SWOGGER-Guard Tinkle is a junior this year and a very well-known baskctball player. This peppy bru- nette has done much to further Brownsville's scores. Due to his relentless efforts the players have fought up to the last minute in the game. He will be one of the main-stays of Coach Lessner next year. CHARLES SIMPSON-Forward Charles. better known as Red was one of Coach Lessner's main players this year in spite of the fact that he was only a freshman. He played the position of forward and was one of the lead- ing scorers in all the games. We will not be see- ing more of Red's. fine playing again next sea- son. because Uncle Sam has his finger on him now. THEY ALSO PLAY It takes more than just the coach and first team to make up a basketball squad. There is al- ways the second tearn. the members- of which do not receive much credit. but who do their bit in every game. Maybe a player from the second team plays only for a minute. but in that minute he relieves a first-teamer for a rest or get instruc- tions from the coach. Also there is no law saying that a second team player cannot star in a game or be a big help in winning it.. This happens in Brownsville. Such as. Lennie Palmer. and Kenny Swink. who help us win a game many times. Among the ranks of the second team are: Sam Shapiro. Lennie Palmer. George Mitchell. Thomas Murtha. James Cash. Charles Drapeno- Bill Hadden. Kenny Swink. and James Mar- g e a. OUR BUCKET AND TOWEL BRIGADE Along with every team go the managers. They do not play the games and win them but witho-ut them there could be no game. Satisfaction comes to them when the team wins. There are basketballs to be put on the floor, uniforms to be taken care of. equipment to be kept clean and laid out for each player, and last but not least the towel to be thrown in at the quarters and times-out. The managers are also cheer leaders in their own way as they keep the spirits. of the players up to par. The coaches are greatly indebted to these boys who give their time but do not play. The basketball managers: Thomas Rohrer. tcaptainb. Jackie Lessner, Martin Claybaugh. Billy Prosser, and George Hallal.

George Turner, a junior high student who hails from West Brownsville, has attempted to fill our former drum major's shoes. Our flag bearers are Rodger Hicks and Dewaine Howe, and the color guards are Eleanor Vetter and Marjorie Shelor Below the band is seen forming a HBH for Brownsville. The forming of school letters repre- sents one phase of the band formations used at the football games. At the half every fan waited expectantly for the band to make their appear- ance and show what new steps and tricks had been added. The performances were always marked with Mr. Sweadner's ingenuity. For the German game, the band formed a huge SING on the field and played four popular pieces while the audience sang. When Redstone payed us a visit the audi- ence was kept toned up by the peppy arrange- ment of G. I. Jive. On one occasion they formed a large MA and played Ma, He's Makin' Eyes At Me. Mr. SWeadner's last performance here was the arrangement of Der Fuehrer's Face. Conway Keibler will long be remembered for his portrayal of Hitler in the skit which depicted Hitler at the start of the war and his gradual downfall. Another presentation which was well received by the audience was the playing of Tea for Two while the band formed the figures T, 4 and 2. Everyone also remembers the snappy ar- rangement of Little Brown Jug with band mem- bers, adorned in straw hats, doing a country jig and square dance. In the mid-game time this year popular pieces predominated, accompanied with zestful marches. The band offered the football fans' extra enjoyment and pleasure each evening.

Mr. Sweadner and the high school band and orchestra demonstrated their work in the presentation of the annual Spring Concert. It took place in the Junior High. and a pleasing variety of music was given. Dr. Irving Cheyette. the guest conductor. took charge of one or two numbers during the program. James Davidson of thc Navy. a former band member. was also a guest and conducted a number. BAND CONCERT- l945 The 1945 Band Concert. as we would say. was Concert-plus ! It was presented in the Junior High Auditorium in tht merry mi nth of May. Director Basile combined his music with a little bit of comedy. and added vocal entertainment also. A fine selection of music was offered. including the Overture from the operctta Student Prince. and the Peasant Overturt Morning, Noon. and Night was another selection. and there was the B-lue Danube Waltz -and so many other inspiring compositions we could name. The novelty presentation of Thu e Blind Mice was scmething to see! Delightful to hear was the vocal by Patti Hardy-she sang the love sung. Will You Remember. Mr. Basile and our high school musicians gave the music-lovers of Brownsville something to see and hear when they presented the concert this spring.

They are elected by a majority of their classmates and must attend four out of six meetings i.n order to retain their seat. At 12:30 every other Tuesday the 27 members meet in 109 to discuss and act upon matters of importance to the student body. To the Student Council is given the authority to adjust admission prices, give or withhold per- mission for social activities of the various clubs, approve committees for class activities, and to grant charters to new clubs, Through a special point system, ,highly prized awards are made to outstanding students each year. The Council is the governing body of the extra-curricular activi- ties of the school. Each member was responsible for the yearbook orders in his homeroom. This task included keep- ing records of all orders, collecting the money and making receipts for each payment when due and turning the money in to the Business Manager. The seniors' name cards were ordered through a committee headed by Dorothy Stevenson. With the co-operation of the members and the students the Council has carried out a suc- cessful patrol system to make the traffic in the halls between classes run more smoothly. Bob Hamill and Velma Vig were chosen to represent the student body in the Youth. Planning Commission. Later the Council purchased mem- bership cards in the name of each homeroom rep- resented. Through this membership the students are represented in the Commission and can help in plans for their benefit. One of the main projects this year was noon dancing-first in the upper hall and then in the bandroom-which was very successful for the time it was in operation. However, it had to be discontinued because of the need for the use of the bandroom for other activities. Perhaps the most important project, however, was the begin- ning of a fund to purchase a movie projector fo-r the school. Profits from noon dances and name card sales as well as the spring dance held in the Junior High Gym went toward this fund. The Council donated five dollars to the Red Cross and ordered ten yearbooks for gifts for the teachers in the service. With Mrs. Sharpnack as advisor and Bob Hamill as leader they have come through another successful year. The other officers include: Doro- thy Stevenson, Vice Presidentg Katherine Dalson, Secretary: Mary Jane Vanderbilt. Treasurerg Vel- gna Vig, Clerkg and Andrew Seaman, Absence of- 1CEI'. .-8 Q1 i X.

Although every year the manpower shortage hits the chorus worse, they do manage to survive with only eight male members.

Among its many activities several entertain- ing programs have been given. The chorus sang Christmas carols, for the Rotary Club. They also sang carols over the public address system dur- ing the Christmas season. Other Christmas pro- gram had to be cancelled. An operetta, Nifty Shoppe , was presented to the public and received and enthusiastic reception. The chorus supplied the music for a K'Recognition Servicei' held in the Junior High School. The chorus also sponsored a successful Sweater Hop after the Donora game. A new course has been added in our school. Ithis Music Appreciation under the direction of Miss Gano. Thirty-one students are now enrolled. March 2, 1945 was Miss Gano's last day at B. H. S.

READING CLUB It seems to be an established fact that a pet peeve ol' high school students is book reports- especially those written reviews that must be done in ink. Miss Nicholas realized that some- thing could be done about it: therefore, she tried a new method which led to the organization ol the high school Reading Club. There are live junior and senior academic linglish classes, consisting ol' one hundred fifty- live students. who are tnembers of this club. It is not. however. an extra curricular club since the regttlar meetings take place dttring linglish period. liach Friday is reading day lor the mem- bers, instead of the regular English class. They have only to read their books and give two re- ports each six weeks: one is to be given orally month. This gives everyone a chance to better himsell' in public speaking and class leadership. .-Xn executive committee is elected for the entire term, and this group meets every other week to discuss matters ol' importance to the entire club. Andrew Seman has been the aet- ing President during the term ol' i944-I9-15. and in his absence, Vice President Bert Sutton takes charge. Another feature is the election ol' a representative from each class, who attends the executive meetings. The representatives are elected lor one semester. and their duty is to report to their respective classes matters brought up in the executive meetings. ln the club room, the well known Room 2l2, TOP ROW: Bob Hamill, Ray Godfriaux, Winona Thorpe, Charles Sargent, Jane Houston, Jo Ann Murray, Don Walters.

This club gives a more systetnatic method ol' reading a larger nutnber ol' books during the year. Looking at the business side ol' this organiza- tion. we lind an excellent SCI-llp. liach class elects a chairman to preside over business meet- ings which take place on the regular club days every other Friday. Also, a secretary is elected to keep a record ol' the tneetings. But a striking fact is that these olliicers are replaced each can be lound a collection ol' books-both liction and non-fiction. These books are lor lending just as those ol' the school library. Matty ot the books have been contributed to the club by for- mer and present members. The Reading Club, now three years old, is rising in popularity. Many ol' the members have read as many as sixty books or more, and twenty books is the minimum. The clttb proved to be a success, and may some day be lamiliar to more ol' Brownsville High School readers. 't R sg tt ,, A 5, f . J 4 f t 5 ii te, O O 5 f S rl T if Q...

Hi Neighbor concerns the technique a salesman uses on a Chilian and also includes some South American customs. What Do You Mean Bashful? is a skit on a wolf'l who makes a pass at a girl on the street- They have an interesting conversation which ends in a kiss and finally we learn that both are mar- ried. Oh. Nono is about a girl who has Nono as a nickname. She meets a conceited man who makes love to her, but all she says to him is no- even to his proposal. The Chorus added the Nifty Shoppe to the program and the t'Capers of 1945 was complete with everything from the good neighbor policy to the latest styles. The program was presented on January 17, and was hugely enjoyed by all. CLARENCE Clarence , presented on April 6 and 9, was a humorous story about a returned soldier. Chuck Sargent was excellently cast as Booth Tarking- ton's slow talking, ailing Clarence. Mary Jane Vanderbilt did honors to the part of Violet Pinney, the attractive young governess. Of course, the Wheeler family is not to be forgotten. Bernard Avner was the frustrated father. Betty Somers played the ignored step-mother of C'ora and Bob- by. two battling children, characterized by Iva Fletcher and Rodger Hicks.

HOME ECONOMICS CLUB The Home liconomics Club first saw the light of day in IQ37 through the efforts of Miss Eleanor Hook. The members meet once a month to discuss their plans and activities. This tends to broaden and enlarge upon the things they have studied. Many people are of the opinion that the Home lic. Club is designed to take the place of hottie training, but it is rather a supplement to that training. Each year, the Home Ee. Club prepares the meals for other school clubs' social events. Under the capable leadership of Miss McDonough, the sponsor, and the following of- ficers: President, Marian Szabo: vice president, julia Valari: secretary, Helen Horniek, and trea- surer, Rose Vigliotti. the club has completed a very successful year.

BROWNSVILLE RESPONDS TO EMERGENCY CALL On the evening ol' June 21, IQ44, the town ol' Brownsville was suddenly aroused lirom its summer lethargy by a violent wind storm. Alter the wind subsided the townspeople learned that tl1e nearby mining connnunity of Chartiers had been almost completely demolished bv a tornado which struck southwestern Pennsylvania and parts ol' XVest Virginia. From 7:30 P. M. through the night rescue crews and emergency cars were kept busy carrying victims to hospitals which were soon over-crowded. Emergency treatment was given to many patients along the roadside. The high school students throughout this district were among the lolks who in the following week helped to collect clothing and furniture for many homeless families. The gov- ertnnent provided trailers and temporary shelters for many stricken people and thousands of people helped relieve the burden by private contributions. Most ol the physical damages have been repaired, but there can never be a restoration ol' the lives that were lost.

So much interest was shown that a meeting was called for the next week and rules were drawn up to govern the operation of the club. The following officers were elected to serve for the year: President, Mal Crawford: vice-president, Boyd XVZITIICQ secretary, Mildred Ponzuric: executive officer, Pat VVhitlow: and treasurer. Mike Hanek. Under the capable lead- ership ol' these officers the Rifle Club swung into full action with twenty-two members. john Coldren, prominent local sportsman and gun expert. and Desk Sergeant Xllilbur Crawford of the Brownsville Police Department, were selected as Coaches for the club. lVith the guidance of these two experts the club meets every Thursday night at the indoor range of the Prospect Street Grade School. This range was set up several years back by a former rifle club, and because of the lack of facilities due lo war-times, this year's club has not been able to add any new accommodations to the range. It has a Charter from the National Rifle As- sociation of America, which provides Junior Membership in the N. R. A. for each student up to and including the age of eighteen years. lVhen the member reaches the age of nineteen years, he must apply for membership in the Sen- ior N. R. A. Participation in the N. R. A. events also provides ranks of advancement in shooting such as, Sharpshooter. Expert, and American Rifleman First Class, the latter being every member's most earnest desire. The aim of the N. R. A. is to teach safety with firearms, as well as marksmanship and sportsmanship for boys and girls. The aim of the club is to pro- duce an experienced team for the Senior Class in the year lflfiti, which will enter into competi- tion with such schools as lientleyville and lVaynesburg, who have the best -Iunior Rifle Teams in the area. So-here's wishing good shooting to all of those who attempt it! TOP ROW: M. Crawford, B. Warne, B. Patton, J. Moorhouse, R. Given. 2nd ROW: J. O'DonneII, D. Glover, J. Fenwick, B. Shields, M. Hctnek.

Notice the name SIOUX on Johnny's shirt and we'll take his word for it that he is advertising the best ball club in town. You see, a name-on a team or a store-is a lot more than a conven- ient tag or means of identification. It carries a message of the teamwork which made that name stand for something, and of the combined activity behind that name which is producing results. Next time you see our name in the Newspaper, on a box, or a label, think of this: METZLER'S is the signature of all the men and women who are working together here to serve you.
