Jlum gamma, and WMM sm 'nr THE CLEARFIELD HIGH SCHOOL CLEARFIELD HIGH SCHGOL CLEARFIELD, PA. PRESENTS ,Wm 55' ' FOR NINETEEN FOURTY-SEVEN Published by the Senior Class Volume 33 Throughout every school year the community of Clearfield and Clearfield High School have worked together, the academic, social, and athletic programs of Clearfield High all receiving full cooperation from Clearfield citizens. The fact that nearly all families have had, at one time or another, someone enrolled in the school helps bring about this close tie between the school and community. It can truly be said, as goes Clearfield High School-so goes Clearfield. Through the organization of the Clearfield Booster's Club, this spirit of cooperation has manifested itself more fully this year than in previous years. To this spirit of cooperation, which promoted the organiza- tion of the Clearfield Booster's Club, we dedicate this 1947 issue of jim, 567' ' gm Umm Lee Sunday, in charge of iransporiation, along wifh Presi- dent G.

They are loyal and understanding, and have made many sacrifices so that our work would be interesting and our school days enjoyable. They have not only made their classes worth while but have developed an extra curricular program in which our students may participate. As the years pass by their faces will fade from our memory so in order not to forget the people who made our high school days memor- able ones, on the next few pages our faculty is pictured. jim 612011, he .AD MINISTRATION S.

S. on the way to our daily classes, we can see many students with happy, smiling faces, chatting and laughing with fellow- students. These boys and girls are more than students of C. H. S. They are classmates to each other, and our class association have helped this to be so. In our classes we have been taught how to work, not only as individuals but as a group, striving for the same purpose to be better citizens of the school, town, community, nation, and world. jim 612.011, Seventeen THE SE NIOR CLA B.

The Clearfield Senior High School library displays these awards and in order to better exhibit these trophies, the senior class of 1947 has given a check to the school for the placing of a trophy case opposite the superintendent's ofiice. The new case will be large enough to display trophies won in health, field, track, basketball, golf, football, debating, oratory, wrestling, and baseball. if 0 . .

A few of the numerous jobs are: selecting a cover, planning the dummy, taking pictures, interviewing sponsors of organizations, arrang- ing proofs, soliciting patrons, and the biggest and most important job of all is trying to beat the deadline. This year Sara Natoli had the responsibility of being the editor-in-chief of the Bison. Her assistcsrk were many with varied talent. Bob Hulstrom was the photographer of the informal shots with Bill Herrington, who made a very able assistant. let's see. 4x8 won't work on the pro- portion rule! Around the table are shown, Sis Thomson, Jean Herrington, Dot Wisor, Bill Herrington, Honey Axelson, Eugene Mitchell.

In the meantime, Patsy Johnston, who was assistant editor, had the iob of seeing that all the write-ups were in on time, checked and typed by chief typist, Eugene Mitchell, assisted by Leona Conrad and Kenneth Royer. While Ed Bird and Orville Kyler did most of the soliciting of patrons, Bill Howe acted as assistant business manager and collected money from the students in payment of their book. Congratulations to Mr. Weidner, faculty advisor, who helped make the Bison a big suc- cess. Thanks, Mr. Weidner! The co-operating editors of the Triangle are Louise Rhine and Frank Reynolds. THE TRIANGLE What is a Triangle? Webster says it is a figure bound by three lines and having three angles. To the students of C. H. S. it's a monthly edition of their school paper. The Triangle, headed by co-editors Louise Rhine and Frank Reynolds, is made up of editors, reporters and typists, each filling the job that is expected of them. During the year poems, themes and articles are submitted by members of the student body and the various English classes. Under the supervision of Miss Mervine, Miss Kovach and Miss Gillespie, the staff had a very successful year with all cooperating. l The various members of the staff made a survey of the home rooms and different ques- tions and put up different ideas before the stu- dents. These results were entered in the Triangle, making it more interesting as well as humorous. The Triangle tries to keep up with the latest fads, who's who, sports and iust plain gossip, as well as the current news to encourage students to read the paper. Working overtime they produce a very good paper which is read and enjoyed by nearly all C. H. S. students. Bottcr Row fLeft to Righty-A. Wiggins, T. Minute, D. Williams, R. Robinson, L. Rhine, F.

They put on a drive in all of the home rooms and the results were more than the preceding year. Last year they had a party for the Children's Home and ended the year by having a party for them- selves. Their activities of last year were more numerous than those of this year. The tuber- culosis drive and the drive for cancer was also sponsored in the home rooms. The officers of the club are President, Betty Bell, Secretary, Bar- bara Boalg and Treasurer, Louise Conklin. The club is under the direction of Miss Long. The club with its 65 members, was very cooperative and did many interesting and helpful things for and about the school. Under good supervision, the club brought another year to a satisfactory close. JUNIOR RED CROSS COUNCIL First Row fleft to Rightl-S. Fink, O. Shedder, R. Mann, H. Bowers, J. Woolridge, D.

Throughout the year, interesting and unusual programs were presented at each meeting. ln the first part of the year, the following officers were elected: Dorothy Taylor, president, Margaret Elbell, vice-president, Betty Jean Daisher, secretary, Josephine Wisor, treasurer. During the year a movie on classical civilization was shown and two plays were pre- sented by several students. A variety of unique proiects were made by the Latin students including dolls, paintings, miniature galleys, weapons, maps, and even a full-size mannequin dressed in the garb of a Roman praetor. These projects were on display in room 18 during Latin Week, February 23 to February 28. At Christmas time a special program was presented which included singing Christ- mas carols in Latin.

Under the supervision of Miss Laurie and their officers: Arnoldine Hudson, president, Kathryn Graham, vice-president, Jean Rea, secretary, Ann Krumbine, treasurer, they have been knitting, crocheting and embroidering, whichever they prefer. Some worked individually making a large variety of articles, others combined their knitting abilities and together made an afghan for the Red Cross. The girls held their first party at Christmas time and their last party in May which brought their successful year to a close. fh2.dg. Ninety-four Another C. H. S. athletic season has drawn to a close with vigorous cheers dying into dim echoes. The football season ended with a nothing-to- nothing tie with Curwensville. Although the '46 football season was not too good, we have great hopes tor the future. Basketball and wrestling came in with the usual bang. The basketball team played their best, as did the wrestling team. Besides four district championships and three state championhips, wrest- ling brought many other honors to our school. With the coming of spring, track and baseball were started which rounded out a complete athletic program for C. H. S. jluz, Hman Ninety-fiv First Row CLeft to Rightl-B. Carr, F. Trifovesti, A.

Smith FOOTBALL Clearfield High School began its gridiron season with an arousing welcome to two new coaches, Mr. Dan Snyder and Mr. Ellis Hall. The able coaches started practice with a green squad and only several of last year's men back. The season opened at home against the experienced Osceola High School team. The Bisons ended on the short end of a 6-O score. ln the second clash of the gridiron season the Clearfield Bisons won their only game of the season, scoring only two points more than their opponent Reynolds- ville. The spunky Reynoldsville team ended behind the Bisons by a score of 'I4-12. Traveling to DuBois for their first out-of-town game, the Snyder-Hall men were subdued by a better than average Beaver team. Once again the Herd ended on the short side ofa 32-0 score. After being downed by DuBois, the Bison tried their best to gain another stroke in the win col- umn, but the State College team was too much for the Herd to handle, and the Bison squad lost by a 20-0 score. The supercharged Philipsburg High Moun- taineers trampled the outclassed Bison Herd at the Memorial Stadium in Philipsburg to the tune of a 40-0 score.

The Tyrone Eagles appeared at the Driving Park like a powerhouse against the plucky Herd, but once again the Bisons were smothered by a deci- sive score of 39-6. The Saint Marys High School out-mudded Clearfield High in a contest which favored the Bisons until the remaining minutes of the last quarter. The flying Dutchmen skidded to two touchdowns in the last half thus edging the Bisons l3-6. The squad traveled 75 miles to Lewistown to meet the Lewistown Panthers on their home field. Lewistown appeared on the Clearfield schedule for the first time in many years. The Panthers smothered the Clearfield squad by their fancy passing and ground work. The final score was 39-6. The traditional Armistice Day clash between the Curwensville Tide and the Clearfield Bisons was held at the Clearfield Driving Park this year. lt was by far the hardest fought battle of the Herds gridiron season. The Armistice Day game was played in a sea of mud. Although several touchdowns were threatened by both teams the game ended in a scoreless tie. Although the gridiron season of Clearfield High School ended unsuccessfully, we have hopes of a better season next year. This is football, boys.

BASKETBALL As the basketball season rolled around, so went the last year of basketball coaching of Cliff Bohlender, who resigned this year after 7 years of directing high school basketball. This year the Bohlendermen won 7 games and lost 'l2, while the J. V.'s under Coach Dan Snyder had 8 wins and 9 losses. Opening the season's schedule on December 6, we met Tyrone and won by ct 42-30 victory, but lost the return game 22-24. In our next opponent, Philipsburg, we met a stronger team and lost both games tothe Moun- taineers. Not being discouraged, the Bisons took Curwensville 35-'I9 in the first game and 25-19 in the second. Starting their league games, the Bisons met Brookville and lost 25-44. The same thing occurred the next week, as we met a much strong- er Punxsy team than in preceeding years and dropped a 25-43 victory. Coming back to the win column in the next game, we triumphed over DuBois by a 31-23 win. Recorded as the greatest thriller of the bas- ketball season, was the second game with Brook- ville in which the score was nip and tuck all the Captured at a tense moment, both teams wait for the ball to come down . . . ln the basket, we hope!

In a preliminary game the J.V.'s like- wise played a thriller, but more fortunate than the varsity, they came out on the winning side. Traveling to Punxy and DuBois for the next two games, the Basketeers fell first to the Chucks and then to DuBois, both games being lost by two point margins. On February 18, the greatest accomplish- ment of the season occurred, when by a score of 31-25 the Bisons upset Brookville, whom we hadn't beaten since 1943.

Adding an extra game to our schedule, we gave way to Segal High 39-35 with West scoring 16 points. At the end of the season, we found that most of the lettermen will return, with the excep- tion of West and Swanson, who are seniors. West ranked third in individual scoring in the A league and also won the center spot on the all- district team while Shaw, a junior, held 'Forward position on the second team. .jim d6'L4,ofz, Ninety nine First Row KLeft to Rightl-M.

With only two returning lettermen to start off the season, the squad appeared weak to out- siders. However, the grunt 'n groan artists got off to a winning start by downing Boswell, 27 to 15. For their next encounter, the Bisons travelled to Philipsburg. Despite the experience of the Mountaineers, who took to the mats with nine lettermen, our boys defeated them, 25 to 13. Bedford High School was a new opponent added to our schedule this year. We took them in our stride too, and they fell 27 to 11, with our score being boosted by Kenny Turner and Don Maurey each scoring pins. Lock Haven was downed by the Bisons to the tune of 26 to 13, while the Ma- roon and Gray of State College were given a tumble on our second away meet with an upset l District 6 8. 9 Champions Pennsylvania State Champions One hundred Wrestling Coach, Arthur Weiss of 24 to 15. The sixth match of the season was with DuBois, who went home, decisively beaten, 28 to 8. Hollidaysburg was also defeated, by a large margin of 38 to 6, the following week. The only intersectional school to face our squad this year was Erie Strong Vincent. We came home victorious, with a 31 to 7 score. In Tyrone, we faced a heretofore undefeated squad. However, we were definitely primed for them and brought home a 24 to 11 victory. In the last dual meet of the year, Gordon Potter ex- cited the crowd by pinning Peck of Lewistown, giving us a final score of 38 to 2. The Bisons ended the successful season with three undefeated wrestlers: Greg Betts at 95 pounds, Jerry Maurey at 112 pounds, and Don Maurey in the 120 pound class. We also brought our winning streak to twenty straight victories since the upset by DuBois in 1945. Jerry Maurey taking a one minute rest with the help of Mr. Weiss, Clearfield High School added to its collection four District and three State champions in 1947. The District 6 and 9 Tournament was held at the Lock Haven Field House, March 7 and 8. Freshman Jerry Maurey brought in the first District crown at 112 pounds, while brother Don came through in true fashion at 120. Dick Beers won the 127 pound crown and was high scorer of the tournament. Gordon Potter was victorious also by pinning Ralph Gill of Tyrone at 154, thus Jerry and Don Maurey demon- strate the invincible guillotine Under Mr. Weiss's instruction as the rest of the squad look on.

After many tense moments of skillfully executed games, the Jinxes proved themselves to be the winning team in the tournament, with the Men Search- ers following close behind. Lenora Murray was the league's high scorer with 97 points and Mary Lou Derrick ranked second, having scored 92 points.
