S., Benny, Betsy, and the Bison Staff hope you will treasure this 1953 edition ofthe Bison. May it hold for you in years to come, fond recollections of memorable class- mates, teachers, activities, and athletic events and prove to be a happy reminder of this school year.

Few of them look up, but those who do never fail to experience the strong friendly warmth which seems to radiate from our cherished and beloved symbol. It is with his name that we describe our sports, our cheers, and our yearbook, and it is the simple word Bison which strikes a chord in the hearts of every passing senior. Thus we have felt prompted to dedicate the 1953 Bison to our very own Benny, who is always in the school and in the hearts of the students. 4 Here' Here' Here' Here Here Here Here Here I the praise of Clearfield High, its girls and boys, the tirne thct's passing by, our student ioysp the school we hold so dear, the friendly ties, the days of song and cheer, old Clearfield High. Oh Clearfield High, dear Clearfield High, Thy praise we love to sing, Our songs and cheers as victory nears, Through field and hall will ring. The lime will come when songs will fail, When cheers will die owayg But Clearfield High we still will hail, While mem'ry holds her sway, But Clearfield High we still will hail, While mem'ry holds her sway, :RN I 'if Q 'Ss na - -..---.,.. 5 .L Nancy and Paula soy i1's hard work, but ihey enioy if. fwf- Zzlfiifff Q, 5 ' , , f 53-MM. , ,, V v .- e if , Vx , , ii W L, 5 Q r V X A it M6 ,g ffm .,,,. ,, R , Nancy Sweely Editor-in-Chief .Mis 4. .

QL Treasurer V t -- ' I ff--S Dean Seese secremry l M Y HistorIan Joanne Axelson Clara Leitzinger President Stewart Wiggins As we, the class of 1953, wistfully look back over our senior year, acknowledging our suc- cesses and failures, we have the satisfaction of knowing we really did our best. When the doors opened on September 4, 1952, we entered with our hearts light and hopes high, determined to accomplish big things right from the start-and we feel that we did. Our rugged, all-senior football team had its best season, in many years, winning nine and losing one. It also had the distinction of leading all the other schools in the area when it placed five men on the,All-District First Team. Our big- gest thrill came the day we learned that Stu Wig- gins had been named on the Associated Press All-State Team, the first boy from Clearfield to be so honored. We hardly thought it possible that we could carry our good fortune through to victorious sea- sons in basketball and wrestling, but, by the first of March, we had copped the District 6-9 wrest- ling title and the Southern Section Class A Dis- trict 9 Basketball Championship. Eight seniors participated in the dual meet wrestling season, and all aided the team in completing the season with a clean slate. Three of those boys, Tom Hartsock, Dean Triponey, and Dean Seese were district champs and Dean Seese went on to become state champ. The basketball team, com- prised principally of seniors, lost only once-to Punxsy-but came back to win over them in a playoff game and take the title. Bill'Thorn and Stu Wiggins were honored by being named to the All-District First Team and Bill won an hon- orable mention on the state team. Our baseball and track teams, spurredion by the return of many seniors, had better than average seasons, too, as they rounded out a highly successful year of sports. Our twelfth annual minstrel was an excel- lent combination of lively music, funny jokes, and original selections presented by talented members of the student body. The all-school play, Our Miss Brooks, will be remembered for its comical glimpse of the trials and tribulations endured by all school teachers as well as the fine performances of its inspired young stars. Sen- iors participating inthe play were: Shirley Miller, Mary Helen McCorkle, Nancy Paterson, Nancy Sweely, Clara Leitzinger, Charles Freeburg, and Ed Klett. In April, Clearfield played host to the South-Central District Chorus. After the first of two very enioyable concerts, a semi-formal dance was held in the high school gymnasium for all the participants. On May l, the iunior class sponsored the Senior Prom. The gym was beautifully decor- ated for the occasion, and all of us had a won- derful time. A few days later we traveled to Washington, D. C. where we spent an interesting and educational weekend viewing the sights in our nation's capital. Our school year sadly came to a close with Shelf Day, Baccalaureate, and Commencement ceremonies. Looking back on our high school days, we pause to extend our lasting apprecia- tion and gratitude to the faculty and administra- tion for their guidance and understanding in our behalf. Our only hope is that we will be able to uphold the high standards they set for us as we boldly iourney forward toward building a better world.

We Carl Sudan Y , 5 52 Secretary is ,A ,- ,, Treasurer Dolores Krisher Mary Jane Wiggins President Roger Levin Spring is coming back with its annual proof that mortals are not so important after all. And as we near the finis of our junior year, we know how compara- tively little we have gained, and how vast is the unattained. Thus we are looking forward to entering the senior class with enthusiasm, and looking back at our junior adventure, at the thousand little pleasures whose whole sum is not quite pride, but a happy reminiscence. We may, however, take pride in having members of our class notably par- ticipate in athletics, dramatics, the minstrel, and other extra curricular activities. lt is the end that counts, but to everything there must be a beginning. It is not until time has torn most of the pages from the Book of Life that we realize how few are left. This year has been a good beginning towards a better ending. Our minds will retain the memories of this past year better than will these few words. Miss Gretchen Hiller Junior Class Advisor 47 HOMEROOM I3 Bottom Row: L. Call, P. Wrigley, B. Coon, E, Evans, M.

However, after getting settled down it isn't long till we find that we, the underclassmen, have ended our first year as members ofthe Clearfield High School. We were led through this year by our class officers: Ellis Harley, president, Leonard Moore, vice-president, Mona Gaines, treasurer, Gloria Ogden, secretary, George Harper, historian. Our class was also well represented in the student council. We are also proud to say that mcny of the boys of our class were outstand- ing in all phases of sports even though we had much competition from the juniors and seniors. We also had many sophomores take part in the minstrel, Show- boat , and the all school-play, Our Miss Brooks .

Another year of hard work has past for the well known Bison Board. Their work and co- operation make it possible to present this cher- ished book to faculty and students alike. Mr. Filsinger, the advisor, made some changes in the operation ot the board this year, in an eFFort to distribute the work and give each member a definite task. New members were selected on the basis of written applications and teacher recommendations. lf you happened to pass Nancy Sweely's house late at night and saw all the lights on, you knew that the editor-in-chief and some of the members were hard at work. They worked persistently trying to complete the book before the end of the year. Nancy, as you have probably guessed, had the hardest job ot all in supervising all the departments and in making up the dummy. All financial work was given to the business manager, Clara Leitzinger, who did a magniticent iob. Ot course, Joanne Axelson did not strike a gold mine. That roll of cash she received was from the solicitors. Ad- vertising was also in Joanne's department. Most of the sophomores and iuniors took part in com- posing the articles. Editing and correcting all these articles was done by Sally Senser. To Sally also went the tremendous job of writing the fore- word and the captions. Typing all these articles and captions was accomplished under the super- vision of Rosemary Cole. Barbara Dale was in charge of all data such as recording scores, sen- ior information, etc. Dolores Diehl relied heavily on the artistic fingers of Eddie Butler and his as- sistants in getting the sketches and advertising posters ready. Well, it's time to bid good-bye to another year in C.H.S., and as you leaf through the book, think of all the students who .took the huge iob, without complaining, to make this book possible. TRIANGLE This year the Triangle staFF did not publish the usual number of papers because of the difficulty in getting them printed. The club published a few issues of the paper and wrote news articles concerning the school activities for the Progress. Avid sports' fans looked forward to Frank Cardon's interesting comments under Benny Bison Says, and Jim Olmes and Emily Chase pro- duced some varied reading in their columns, Chase Comments and Only Olmes. Members ofthe staff included: editor, Emily Chase, assistant editor, Sally Johnston, sports editor, Frank Car- don, and photographer, Frank Russell. Bcitom Row: N. Calvellu, J. Olmes, E. Chase, F.

If you like to sing and can measure up to the high standards set by Prof. Kuhns, chances are you may be found singing to your heart's content over in room 3 of iunior high. In pre- vious years, there were 3 separate groups: girls' chorus, boys' chorus cmd 'mixed chorus, a com- bination of the other two. But this year Prof. decided to have only the mixed chorus. Natur- ally, the chorus periods aren't recreation periods. They are work periods, in which the members strive hard to perfect songs for the annual C.H.S. minstrel and for the subsequent chorus festival in the spring. Clearfield was especially fortun- ate this spring in having the annual district cho- rus festival here. This was the first time in a number of years that a district festival was held here. The chorus was composed of T86 mem- bers, coming from 35 surrounding towns. Clear- field had a fine representation with 27 of our chorus members participating. C.H.S. is quite proud of its choral group. BOYS' CHORUS 636591 6 ORCHESTRA Under the direction of Mr. William Stadt- miller, our superb C.H.S. orchestra has completed another very successful year. Attending the Cen- tral District Orchestra Festival at Bradford Senior High School were Austin Helsel, Rebecca Hughes, Henry Williams, and Jane Thomas. The All State DANCE The Dance Band of C.H.S., under the direc- tion of Mr. Harold Kuhns, contributed to the so- cial functions of our school in many ways. One of these ways was to furnish the music for the dances that were held in the gym after school Orchestra, which was held at Sharon during the month of March, was attended by Rebecca Hughes. Various radio programs were given by the orchestra and an evening concert was held on February 2. The orchestra also furnished the music for the all-school play. BAND and before vacations. The Dance Band also en- tertained with the school minstrel, Showboat, and played for the District Chorus which was held in Clearfield this year. BAND We couldn't forget the Band, Betsy! 8!-23!-T-6O! You saw them! The Clearfield High School Band with cheerleaders, twirlers, and their leader, Nancy Sweely, marching for every foot- ball game. At half-time, with the roll of cadence, the band moved into letter for- mations. The lights dimmed! A pause of aw-w-we, followed by applause greeted the red, blue, green, and amber lights out on the field. Not content to stay home, the band went to the away games, too. Yes, you saw them adding pep and excitement to the Halloween Parade and to our school assemblies where they played the old familiars, On O'Clearf'ield and Hoop-de-doo while the kids sang. Bernie Koval, Becky Hughes, Austin Helsel, Lois Maurer, Joe Stur- niolo, Shirlene Kuhns, Jean Hoover, and Marilyn McGarvey were top talents of our band. They attended District Band at Martinsburg in January. Finally, they finished the season in a serious concert that climaxed weeks of practice. Thank you Prof Kuhns! C.H.S.'s high stepp:rs pause for a picture. 68 Seated: V. Stewart, D. Williams, S. Cold well, and B. Reilly. Sianding: M. Fortune, C. Wighaman, M Peoples, and C. Leitzinger. DANCE COMMITTEE Benny, how about these indispensable clubs? Remember the Christmas and Thanksgiving dances in the gym after school? Well, you can thank the Dance Committee for all the fun you had. This hard- laboring organization of C.H.S. works under the able eye of Miss Lenore Fulling- ton. All three classes are well represented in the committee, with three members each from the iunior and senior classes and two members representing the sopho- mores. The committee tries to create more interest in dancing, and to provide activities for students after school hours. The dances are open to freshmen, stu- dents of C.H.S., and alumni. After football and basketball games, if the students are cold and hungry, they can usually seek relief at the school dances. The Dance Committee has done a fine iob, and we of C.H.S. appreciate it. . STAGECRAFT CLUB Another vital club around C.H.S. is the ever-active Stagecraft Club. There aren't very many entertainments around C.H.S. that don't owe something to the Stagecraft Club. lt is under the direction of Mr, Fred Gearhart, who instructs and helps the fellows. Caring for the lights and background work for the all-school play, minstrel, paid assemblies, concerts, and radio programs are some of their tasks. The officers elected were: Paul Learish, president, Dick Rafferty, vice- president, Dick Keirn, secretary-treasurer, Earl Caldwell and Bob Baer, captains. First Row: R. Baer, R. Rafferty, P.

Some of Dean's helpers who had a prominent place in the club were: Bob Roessner, vice-president, Clark Mitchell, secre- tary, and Bob Winslow, treasurer. More power to them in years to come! STUDENT COUNCIL Another organization which helps to keep order in our school is the student council. Under the supervision of Mr. Bert Pritts, the council got into full swing this year with dances after the Punxsy and Curwensville football games. They also had similar dances after basketball games and wrestling matches. Besides their annual Christmas program, they organized contests be- tween homerooms for the best Christmas decora- Stnndfngz Dean Seese. :irst Row: J. Johnstcn, V. Pirow, Dickey, J. Axelson.

For their otticers the members ofthe club chose: Dean Seese as presi- dent, Joanne Axelson as vice-president, Fran Dickey as secretary, and Roger Levin as treas- urer. RIFLE CLUB Remember Betsy? Hearing the sounds of guns coming from the gym, you would know that the members of the Rifle Club were hard at work trying to improve their markmanship. In the spring the varsity rifle team attended the regional rifle matches to determine which team would represent the northwest region in the P.l.A.A. State Match. The club, consisting of approximately fifty mem- bers, was divided into four groups which met on Mondays and Thursdays. Under the capable supervision of Mr. Paul Smith, the members of the club learned the correct use and handling of firearms. The officers this year were: president, Alvin Proud, vice-president, Roger Levin, secre- tary, Loretta Maines, treasurer, Wayne Parks, and the executive officer was Rodney Lewis, ARCHERY CLUB Along this same line there was another club that grew in popularity in C.H.S. That was the Archery Club, under the direction of Mr. Harold Wisor. A newly formed club last year, it has since then held many archery shoots at the Y.M.C.A. and the Clearfield Armory. The group shot on Thursday, evenings at the armory, while Wednesday noons were reserved for them at the Y. In the summer the members use the attractive field course called Skyhaven, which is located on Penfield Mountain. The purposes of the club are to provide boys and girls with a new sports activity, to develop skill and under- standing of the primitive bow and arrow, to learn safety measures, and to promote friend- ship among the members. The officers for this year were: president, Bob Carns, vice-president, Clark Mitchell, secretary, Mary Ann Howe. First Row: J. Hoover, S. Senser, C. Chrissman, C. Mitchell, R. Carns, C. Hackman, J.

FUTURE TEACHERS OF AMERICA We couldn't do without these two, Betsy. the Future Teachers of America did a marvelous iob this year. The members of this club went to the elementary schools for observation one per- iod each week. They were also given the op- portunity to do substitute teaching and, in this club, which is to prepare the students for a suc- cessful life in the field of teaching. The oFficers of the club were: president, Marilyn McGarvey, vice-president, Mariorie Kramer, secretary, Mary Jane Sayers, and treasurer, Sally Johnston. FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA This year the large group of boys in the Fu- ture Farmers of America held a farewell party for Mr. Paul Burns, at which the fellows pre- sented him with a fountain pen. In the first week of February Mr. Grant Miller of Bellefonte, a graduate of Vocational Agriculture at Penn State, was welcomed by the boys as their new advisor. As a part of their activities, the iunior-senior group toured a paper mill and the Piper Aircraft Plant in Lock Haven. The seniors attended the Penn State Farm Show for two days in January. The officers elected were: president, William Sommerville, vice-president, Lynn Harrierp sec- retary, Paul Pryp treasurer, John Kolbe, reporter, George Carter, and sentinel, LeRoy Conner. IJ r-i-- - FUTURE NURSES OF AMERICA And, Benny, these clubs promoted two important careers. Say ah-h-h. That's fine, now put this ther- mometer under your tongue. Yes, this is the dream of more than fifty girls in C.H.S. Oh, to wear a crisp white uniform with a pert white cap!

Under the supervision of Miss Belle Hayes Wiley, it pro- vides interesting programs for the members on how to improve their appearance and some im- portant highlights in the business field. This year the club held a fashion show, enioyed a debate on commercial versus college prepara- ments for an Altoona and Clearfield nurse to come and relate some fundamentals of nursing to the girls. The girls studied and did much re- search on the various types of nursing, and they also give some practical demonstrations on home nursing.

The typing club returned this year much to the delight of the college prep and social academic students. Under the direction of Mr. Harold Wilson the members soon learned the fundamentals of typing, sure to be useful in later college years. The club periods were spent doing practice typing, sometimes to music. The two groups of the club met on Mondays and Thursdays, but elected no ofiicers. Mr. Smith keenly observes his proteges as they aim forthe target. Bison Board's chief typist, Rosie Cole, demonstrates the correct procedure to the 'Future typists. 77 , ...

One of the first clubs to get under way this year was Mr. Sabbato's Radio Club. As one of our school's largest organizations, it has had an active season, doing two broadcasts monthly over WCPA. Among these broadcasts were a special coverage of the County Teachers Institute, an English panel program, a special Book Week program, and various programs on guidance. One original play entitled lnside a Kid's Head, proved very successful, so several others were given. Though there were no officers, club members always managed to accom- plish ci great cleal at their meetings. In the early spring they made the trip to Pittsburgh, which has, more or less, become traditional to visit KDKA. Later they also visited the Altoona station. First Row: L. Beauseigneur, J. Shomo, J.

The girls devote a valuable part of their time to helping this department of our school to 'Function properly. The librarian, Miss Dole, instructs and guides the girls in their duties. Through their efficient methods of circulating books, checking attendance, and helping students, they have become an indispensable part of Clearfield High School. YARN CLUB The Yarn Club, an increasingly popular club, is under the direction of Miss Laurie. As in past years, the girls practiced the art of knitting and sewing for awhile, and then they began to seek individual accomplishments. The officers elected were: president, Harriet White, vice-president, Sibbie Baer, secretary, Peggy Brown, and treasurer, Glendora Dunlap. Seated: H. White, W. Witherow, B. Bray, D, Luzier, J.

The girls held a fashion show, in which they modeled, pointing out the do's and don'ts of good grooming. They also gave a luncheon, which was prepared by SOPHOMORE The Sophomore Sub-Deb Club consists of about fifty girls, and it follows more or less the same line of activities that the iunior-senior club does. The girls worked successfully on such things as the social graces, good grooming, prop- er posture, personality traits, and business ap- the juniors for the senior girls. The girls saw sev- eral movies and had many interesting discus- sions concerning the social life of the young lady. The officers of the club were: president, Loretta Mains, vice-president, Celeste McClure, secretary, Joan Bell, and treasurer, Helen Wilson. SUB-DEB CLUB proaches.

FOOTBALL Clearfield High's all senior football squad and new coach, William Cutler, set a fast pace this season with a record of nine wins and one loss. The loss came early in the season when the Bisons traveled to DuBois. Halfback Bob Vokes scored the only touchdown for Clearfield, while the kick for the extra point went wide. ln the match with Bellefonte, Stu Wiggins copped the longest run of his high school career when he galloped eighty-seven yards for a touchdown. Exceptionally fine ball was played by Paul Lear- ish, Stan Fink, Bob Goss and Bill Thorn during -lr V- F09TEAl-'-.- . this game. With the appearance of the Golden Tide in Clearfield, our Bisons smashed all past records by scoring a fifty-four to nothing victory. The line play was very impressive, along with the fine running of the backs. Wiggins, Billotte, Fink, Thorn, and Goss made the all-district team, Sturniolo and Learish made the second team and Rodger Selfridge and Noel Walls received hon- orable mention. At the close of their commend- able season, Coach Bill Cutler presented the league trophy to Mr. Mead, who recalled that this was the first time in the history of C.H.S. that we held such a title. l Ibu- '4'viri ' .uw 4 Z 1 1 3' M N if 2?

Hoover, E. Klett, D, Spingola, J. liames. And the score goes up another notch. That's the tune the basketball fans were chanting at all the games. They had a good reason, tool Led by high-scorer, Bill Thorn, the all-senior team dribbled their way through the regular season with 'I9 wins and 1 loss. Yes, you guessed it. Punxsy was the villain! However, we did beat them later on our own fioor. The home game with Sandy Township found us shattering many previous records. Bill Thorn, Dave Miller, Jim Barry, John Hoover, Stu Wiggins, and company combined their efforts to score ilO points, Thorn being high scorer with 36. Drubbing DuBois 83 to 42 put us into a first place league tie with Punxsy. John Hoover's field goal in the last seventeen seconds clinched this thrilling play-off game and the Southern Section Class A District JUNIOR IX title. Traveling to Bradford in the first of a three game series to decide the District IX title, we encountered a determined team and lost 60 to 48. The second game, at Clearfield, brought forth an inspired quintet, which defeated Brad- ford soundly, 67-42. DuBois was the scene of the do-or-die game and the gym was packed. The Clearfielders fought hard but were out- scored by the powerful Bradford aggregation, 65 to 60. These games were noteworthy not only for the exceptional brand of ball played, but for the excellent sportsmanship shown by our boys and especially the Bradford team, who were ideal opponents. Thus ended one of the most successful seasons in the annals of C.H.S. basketball. VARSITY H----.......,,,,,g VARSITY WRESTLING Sitting: J. Accordino, R. Clark, D. Triponey, J. Clark, J, Johnston. Standing: F. Casamento, K. Flegal, K. Dixon, T. Krolick, L, Smith, T. Hartsock. Wrestling, an ever popular sport in C.H.S. provides the fans with a lot of excitement, and also gives all boys a great opportunity. lt allows boys of all heights and weights to partici- pate in sports, developing confidence and co- ordination. The boy that doesn't lose his temper and has a steady mind usually makes a good wrestler. As quoted from Mr. Weiss, A wrest- ler is like steel--when he loses his temper, he loses his strength. Carrying this motto, his boys came through with another astonishing unde- feated season, the 15th in C.H.S. history. Three top teams in their districts-Greenville, district 10, Shamokin, district 4, and Canonsburg, dis- trict 7, received their first defeats of the season from Clearfield. The Canonsburg meet proved to be the most thrilling match as heavyweight Tom Hartsock's second period fall decided the victor. Vlle also survived the season with four district champions: freshman, Ralph Clark, 103 pounds, senior, Dean Triponey, 112 pounds, sen- ior Dean Seese, 120 pounds, and senior, Tom Hartsock, 185 pounds. lncluding this year, Clearfield has produced 62 district champs since 1938. Three of these boys came through to be regional champs: Ralph Clark, Dean Triponey, and Dean Seese. Dean Seese was the only un- defeated wrestler and also was the only State Champion from Clearfield, the 27th under Coach Weiss. Senior res'iJ-lts in participation in this sport for three years are as follows: Johnston won 46 out of 51 matches, Seese won 42 out of 49, Triponey won 24 out of 30 matches, Hart- sock won 13 out of 16 matches, and Dixon won 18 out of 23 matches. Once again Clearfield High School's wrestling team ended an enviable season. JUNIOR VARSITY Z A , 'L . ' , ' S291 A ,im if ff fa sf Q 1 sq v ii 95 M. xv v ,W v w 0 . L-. 'g .A M44 A fm W !

Sturniolo, The C.H.S. baseball team, another one of our fine sports organizations, begins its activity every year around March, under the fine guidance of Coach Paul Smith. In 1952, assisted by Mr. Henley, his team had a record of two wins and seven losses. Both wins were over DuBois. In the first game held at DuBois, Clearfield won by a rousing 13-10 score. The fellows edged DuBois in the second game 4-3. Our baseball team has accumulated an impressive record since Mr. Smith started as head coach in 1939. We have a total record of eighty-eight wins and forty-seven losses. This year we had ten lettermen returning to the field: Semelsberger, Olmes, Sturniolo, Caldwell, Beard, Rafferty, Demi, Billotte, Proud, and Vokes. The last four played with the team for three years. Yes, C.H.S. is iustifiably proud of its fine baseball team. Swinging like a rusty gate. ls Demi down for the count? 90 Z , , 3 Mighty Mouse! Which is Bob Mathias? TRACK In the T952 season of track the boys had a ratio of four wins to two losses. As everyone knows, you don't win iust because you want to. Before they had run or iumped in a contest, the Snydermen practiced until they were sure of being in good condition and then conscientiously continued practicing. The boys started to run in the latter part of February and kept it up until the last of May. Always after school one could see them jogging over the bridge, up Guelich Avenue, and over Coal Hill. The broad and high iumps were just as important as the running re- lays. The range of competition extended to State College, DuBois, Huntingdon, Punxsy, Ridg- way, Tyrone, and Johnsonburg. When the end of the season came, the boys traveled to Smeth- port for the finals, where they placed second. Bottom Row: G. Thomas, R. Carns, W. Thorn, R. Fink, M. Palm, J. Marsh, L. Turner, J.

Friendly Joe McGarvey. Unforgettable were his cheerful smile, his ready wit, and his courteous manner. Ma ny of us remember that muddy junior high football game when Little Joe and his big bass horn took a liking to a big puddle in the center of the field, then, at half-time, Joe initiated his newly acquired uniform. But, as usual, he came up laugh- ing, It was typical of this young musician, his motto seemed to be Smile and the world smiles with you. But active, energetic Joe was destined to be struck down by the worst crippler known-Infantile Paralysis. By God's Grace, he didn't suffer long, and somehow we feel that he is happier in the World he never feared entering, than he would have been living the life of one denied the activities he was so accustomed to. We'll never forget you, Joe! 96 Distinguished foreign students studying ot Penn State, pause at the Hotel Dimeling on o visit to Clearfield Now a dub there and it's finished! Come on now, gang.

This is your roving reporter, Charlie Chin, bringing you the highlights of the class reunion of the Clearfield High School Class of 1953. My, the Clearfield Armory is certainly filled to capacity with famous per- sonages this evening. Coming up to the microphone is General Robert Fink of the United States Army. As you know, General Fink has been touring the front on Mars. How is the situation there, General Fink? Oh, with John llQl Weaver's invention of the nitrogen bomb our boys should be home by spring? Well, that's just wonderful! And over there goes another famous Fink, Stanley Fink, but this year he is having trouble with his boss. He has received a slight pay cut of S4,000. Over in the corner I see Bob Carns, the archery tycoon, conversing with Ed CKingD Klett, the Wall Street billionaire. He's probably trying to sell Mr. Klett on his idea of an atomic-powered archery set. CEIim- inates work, you know.D And now, ladies and gentlemen, a rare treat! Coming up to the microphone is the chief executive of the United States, Fresident Gurney Smith!! How did you like your trip back to Clearfield, Mr. President? Oh, I see. It would have been fine if your pilot, John Krammer, had flown faster than souncl. But, he didn't, and your secretary, John liames almost talked your ear off, huh? Well, that's too bad. I see you are being closely followed by your special guard, Jerry Zac- cone. By the way, folks, Mr. Zaccone is also a 'I953 graduate of C.H.S. Well, hope you have a pleasant trip back, Mr. President. Oh! There goes Noel Walls, champion flagpole sitter of the uni- verse, followed closely by his private masseur, George Beard. I 102 can't imagine what a flagpole sitter would need a masseur for! Coming through the door together are Deacon Homer Smith and the notorious gambler, John Reilly. They are arguing, l can'r imagine what about. The eminent lawyer, George iPee Weel Anderson, is talking to Dr. Robert Brown, the plastic sugeon. Let's go over and get in on the conversation. ---- Well, isn't that interesting. Mr. Anderson wants Dr. Brown to give him that new leg look that is all the rage iust now, about six inches on each leg so that he doesn't have to strain his neck when looking at the iudge. And now, coming up to say a few words, is Miss Patricia Clapsaddle, our lady ambassador to the moon. How are things on the moon, Miss Clapsaddle? Very peaceful and ro- mantic, hmmm? Well, that's iust fine. Clearfield may certainly be proud of this fine lady who graduated so long ago and has gone so far. And now, entering the armory is a relatively new celebrity who boasts the C.H.S. class ring. She is now captain of the famous girls' professional basketball team, The Rainbow- iumpers. Her name? Why, Miss Thelma Pyle, of course!! lm- mediately following Miss Pyle is the renowned TV team, Nancy Spangler and Kenny Evans. You know them as the stars of the TV show, l Envy Evans. In the far corner l see two distinguished authors chatting. John Hoover, author of How to Play Tic-Tac- Toe in Siix Easy Lessons, is probably corparing notes with Emily Watson, who wrotehthe best seller, What Every Young Girl in Clearfield Should Know. Well, our broadcasting time is almost over, and we must reluctantly say good-by to the gala reunion of the highly successful Clearfield High School Class of 1953. But, first a reminder. For that crispy, crackly look and feel for your hair, always depend on Diana Williams Eggshell Shampoo.
