By the time eighty-two of us reached Locust Street as Freshmen, we were weary from our hard work in the grades and so decided to mix business with pleasure for the next four years. Our first big thrill was our privilege of sharing a dance with the upper classmen: we were now inside dancing instead of outside gazing wist- fully through the windows! One of the fond memories from our Christmas party is the look of surprise on Chuck McCracken's face when he was kissed under the mistletoe. Early in our second year we discovered that we were blessed with such wits for should we say half-wits?l as Milford Bowman, Larry Rid- dle, and Jim Petrone. For the first time we acted as hosts at a dance which was presented under the very appropriate name-Sophomore Shen- anigans. With much fun and some suffering, a maiority of our girls were initiated into the Tri- Hi-Y. At the end of the year shelf day found us taking the juniors' places with much pride. We had now risen higher in society and supposedly in intelligence. We had taken on harder studies and were paving a way to our future. Many of us celebrated our first formal dance at the prom we gave for the Seniors. We thought we were really B. T. O.'s staying out till ' glam, OFHCERS President , Joan Lininger Vice-President , . .

As we looked forward to the coming year, we could hardly believe that we were so near the end of our iourney. When the realization strikes us that this is our last year together, we know that we shall always remember our classmates as we have seen them in our high school days. There's Fritzie Smith as our fast stepping maiorette who led our band to all the football games, where our senior foot- ball players made their final bows in front of the grand stand. Marietta Tate and Trudie Hum- mel were our ever present cheerleaders at foot- ball and basketball games. Violet Norman, Elizabeth Sass, Willa Jean Solley, and Bettie Lucas will be remembered among our square dancing stars, Dick Hilleman, Jack Riddle, and Hobart Bell as Mr. Miller's problem boys. Speech class brought out the talents of Dolores Scolere and Joan Lininger as orators. Yes, we members of the class of '49 have struck gold in our high school years. Now, with regret, we leave behind the familiar scenes and pleasant memories of the past, and, with hope and confidence, turn our faces toward those high- er hills out beyond the limits of our present lives. There we, like the Forty-Niners of old, shall seek the gold of our future success. - , 14,5525 'K' v ,.,,A A , Q ' QQ V W N :nn N 3 i mg 'AL' V:'A 5 it u f Q EMM .. x gg ' s '99 'f31ggigE,5gV QQ 55 V Ezc 6 IA, ' N AA,.

Oh, was it an exciting day! After eleven long years we've finally reached September 8 The first full day of classes was iust the same as other years, everyone become tired, restless, and wanted to go home. When we were Freshmen, it took us several days to become acquainted with high school life, but the Freshmen this year seem worse. When they don't know where to go, they stop dead in their tracks, the halls resemble a traffic jam. September 'IO Our first Senior class meeting! We chose Joan Lininger as our president to lead us through this promising year. We had our first pep meeting, with Mr. Pat Knepp encouraging the team to Wrap up a victory, and cheerleader Trudie Hummel leading our peppy cheers and songs which are part of the support for our favorite team. Chuck McCracken ex- pressed his wish that all of us would attend the inaugural game. Chuck told us that the boys were a little green, but that they would work hard for this game. September ll The first football game, we played Brockway. lt was super to see our boys on the field in their snappy new uniforms. We Seniors felt a little sad when we re- membered that this would be our last year to sit with the students in the cheering sec- tion and really be a part of the team, but the game was swell! Brockway won ac- cording tothe 12-6 score, but our boys won according to their fans. September 13 Today was just like any other Monday, except that we had a class meeting and decided to have this yearbook to recall our high school days to our minds. September 14 You certainly have a lot of privileges in your Senior year! Today we elected Jack Riddle as Junior Rotarian for Sep- tember. September 15 Our men are surely sticking together this year-three of them were chosen offi- cers of our class: Jack Riddle, vice-president, Hobart Bell, secretary, and Chuck McCrack- en, treasurer. September 17 At the pep meeting cheerleader Mar- ietta Tate led our cheering and singing. Mrs. John Wright, the first woman in sev- eral years to give a pep talk in high school, told the team to take two arrows with them to the game--one to aim at victory rs and the other to destroy gloom, if we should suffer defeat. Larry Riddle, one of the Sen- ior players, told the assembly of the strong Johnsonburg outfit and how the team was wishing for a revenge win to avenge last week's defeat. He hopes we will not have to use Mrs. Wright's second arrow against gloom. September 20 Remember twelve years ago when we were first graders? We had stories read to us, too, but did we look as cute as these first graders? We selected our graduation invita- tions, which represent the theme of the Forty-niners. September 21 Trudie Hummel was elected head cheerleader. Here's hoping that our peppy cheerleaders, with her as head, will inspire our team. September 24 One of our T946 football players, Urban Mallon, gave the team and the stu- dent fans some advice during the pep meet- ing. Dick Hilleman said that a win would boost the Tide's morale and he urged us to go to the game and give the team support. What a treat we had today! Our speaker in chapel was a Norwegian school- teacher who told us about his native coun- try: their sports and their schools. His Eng- lish was quite broken, but we enjoyed very much what he said. September 25 We donned our winter garments to go to the game tonight. After a bad first half, the Tide returned to tie a stubborn Madera team. The Tide threatened to gain a vic- tory in the waning minutes of the game but failed to succeed. The score-Bigler Town- ship 6-Curwensville 6. September 26 to October 2 Pennsylvania Week was observed by the Seniors in various class activities. ln history class we were given an exam on Pennsylvania history, the three top scorers will receive money awards. At our chapel program, Fritzie Smith gave a reading about our state. September 28 The first day of our Senior magazine selling campaign-our goal is very high and we are trying desperately to reach it. October l Mr. Bernard Myrter was guest speaker at our pep meeting. Burton Bennett repre- sented the team and assured us that we will make Punxsy's football record worse. October 2 What a wonderful game! The team was really on the ball. The Punxsy Chucks came into the game with one of the best teams in the area. They went home dismayed because the Tide under- dogs, although failing to score, pushed the favored Chucks all over the field. The game was filled with long punts, long runs, and many pass interceptions. Neither team scored and the game ended 0-O! Mr. Wilde celebrated the receiving of his new band uniform tonight. The band waltzed across the field playing When Irish Eyes Are Smiling. Shure and 'twas a sight to behold! 42 October 4 Denumn Begor is our Junior Rotarian for October. October 5 In accordance with Fire Prevention Week, Mr. Wolf and Mr. Eldon Bloom of Clearfield were here to present a special assembly program. They demonstrated the causes and effects of fires in the home. We also had our pictures taken today -X-rays, that is. Since we are such pho- togenic people C?J, the pictures were very pleasing. October 12 and T3 Golly, the first six weeks period lust flew past. lt seems as if we iust started school and now the teachers are testing what our brain matter has accumulated these last six weeks. lt's hard to settle down and really study, our minds often seem to wander back to last summer's vaca- tion. October 'I 5 After Mr. Heil gave a few words of encouragement at the New Bethlehem pep meeting, Jim Petrone fspeaking for the teaml started out his speech with, Mr. Heil, you remind me of a story - - -. He also included that this week the score will be vicey-versey -meaning that we will win. October 'I6 The Golden Tide traveled to New Beth- lehem to challenge our fifth opponent. The game was well played and the Tide might have been victorious had it not been for the last four minutes of the game when New Bethlehem broke loose and scored three touchdowns. Final score-27-7. October 21 Our formal pictures were taken today. All the fellows looked super, wonderful, and entirely beyond description in their suits and ties, the girls also looked very neat, sweet, and cute. 43 October 22 lt seemd like old times at our pep meeting this afternoon. Mrs. Rose Sandri, one of our former teachers, was the guest speaker, and she gave us a very straight- forward speech on true school spirit. Carl Marshall, another Senior player, expressed the team's gratitude for the support and loyalty of the fans and their desire and aims to win tomorrow r1ight's game. October 23 Our class entered a float in the annual Hallowe'en parade. Slowly the covered wagon moved along. Tired men trudged before the wagon keeping sharp watch, behind, straggled a line of men, women, and children. These were the modern 49ers in the Hallowe'en parade. Everyone liked so well our portrayal of the 49ers headed for Pike's Peak that we walked off with top honors and a S10 prize. The Alpha and Beta Tri-Hi-Y clubs were represented in the Hallowe'en parade by two very lovely floats decked with even more lovely girls. October 29 fHunting Seasonl ln the fall a young man's fancy turns to thoughts of bunnies, bunnies, bunnies, bunnies in my hat, bunnies in my hair, bun- nies, bunnies, bunnies, bunnies, bunnies everywhere Cl wishl. -When we started this write-up we had only two little bunnies, and now . . . count them! October 29 During our magazine selling campaign, we received coupons for our sales. At our drawing for the winner, Pauline Johnson's name was pulled and she received a lovely ivory table-model Philco radio. lt seems that girls aren't the only people who have fads. Look at our senior boys in their feed-sack shirts! October 30 Mr. Briggs was passing out the cigars today. Libby Chis dogl had puppies! The Standard Oil Company honored Chuck McCracken, one of our outstanding senior football players, with the title Play- er of the Week. Marietta Tate held a Hallowe'en party at their summer home for our class. Most of the guests came masked. We rode to Rimersburg and won our first grid battle of the season. Both of our scores were made in the first-half by Larry Riddle. Chuck McCracken led the strong defensive play of the evening. The score, T2-O, was probably caused by the speeches of Mr. Clay Thurstin four guest speakerl and Dick Miles Cone of the playersj deliv- ered at the pep meeting this afternoon. November 2 Harry Truman won the presidential election we held in history class. We're all anxiously awaiting the real returns to com- pare them with ours. For the past three days we've been trying out for our class play. We eagerly await the verdict of the play director. November 3 The Echo Business Staff was elected at a class meeting this morning. This staff races all over the town and county trying to collect some funds while the Echo Edi- torial Staff spends the hard earned cash. 3,1 J November 3 Martin Catalano was elected our Jun- ior Rotarian for this month. November 4 This was an awfully gloomy day. We received the proofs of our class pictures from Shull's Studio. The results were enough to discourage all of us from look- ing in mirrors ever again. Hobart Bell played Janitor for ci Day by ringing the tower bell for Mr. Edmiston. lt was a great day for Hoby. November 5 Mr. Wilson Straw told us at our pep meeting of several amusing football events which occurred while he was in school at Jersey Shore. Bob Howell and Ken Lezzer spoke for the team and assured us that the fellows would really try to gain a pigskin victory for us.. November 6 The Tide fought with Osceola Mills for its third deadlock of the season. Even though the score was O-0, Seniors Dick Hilleman and Burton Bennett played a good game on the defense, while Larry Riddle made a 79 yard quick kick. November 8 Miss Chappel, of the Federal Employ- ment Bureau, conducted an aptitude test for girls interested in clerical work. The thirty girls who took it reported it different and interesting. A6 November 10 We Seniors sold gold chrysanthemums with black ribbons for the big game to- morrow. Our sales were very successful and we know that a lot of people will be sporting the Tide's colors. November 1 1 For our Armistice Day chapel, Colonel Asbury Lee III was our guest speaker. We were all greatly impressed by his speech on the relation of education to peace-and of course, he was handsome, too! At the final pep meeting for the grid- iron season, Mr. Hamer Tate and Coach Zwirek gave very inspiring and spirited speeches. The singing and cheering were, because of today's great event, the best we've had this year. Everyone, especially the team, was on pins and needles. Mr. Briggs, so that our boys would really play a tiptop game this afternoon, added to all the others his wish for good luck and a vic- tory. This afternoon we all went to Clear- field hoping desperately to win the game. We didn't quite manage a victory but the game was wonderful. The Tide came very close to scoring toward the end of the game but we were repulsed on the twelve yard line. This game was the last C. H. S. clash for Burton Bennett, Milford Bowman, Dick Hilleman, Carl Marshall, Chuck McCracken, Dick Miles, Jim Petrone, and Larry Riddle. The score was 7-0. November T7 Did you notice the members of the Girls' Athletic Club all bent over and limp- ing through the halls today? Yesterday was the first meeting. Those exercises must have been very strenuous! November 24 They're helping us get ready for the big turkey dinner tomorrow by allowing us to leave school nine hours before Thanks- giving Day. Our vacation will include four whole days. Aren't we lucky? 47 November 24 The Beta Tri-Hi-Y had an enioyable Thanksgiving dance tonight. The Modern Aces supplied the dancing sound effects while the girls demonstrated their great decorating talents, the refreshments were delicious and we all had a delightful even- ing. November 29 Had you glanced at the Senior absen- tee list you would have easily seen that deer season opened today. Our great hunters, Dick Hilleman, Jack Riddle and Dick Black- burn, were the only Seniors to bag a buck! December 9 and 10 We had the audiences howling and rolling in the aisles at our performances of The Happier We'll Be last night and to- night. All the Seniors shared in the presen- tation of the class play and everyone worked to full capacity to make the play the success that it was. After the final presentation, everyone who helped with the play went to a party at Marietta Tate's. We all had a grand time, including the teachers who were there. December 13 The librarians, who are all Seniors, put up a mammoth Christmas tree and other colorful decorations in the library. The tree with all its glittering ornaments added greatly to the Christmas spirit of all in high school. December 17 The Teen-Age Center officially opened with a gay Christmas dance. Many Seniors, in couples or stag, attended the dance and really enioyed the gala decorations, lus- cious refreshments, and soft, sweet music. lt was a grand sight to see the Senior girls in their formals and corsages and the boys in their suits. Of course, the evening wouldn't have been complete without mis- tletoe, under which many a fellow and girl got acquainted. ,auf December 20 The Juniors had a swell record dance, it was very entertaining and the arrival of Santa Claus from the North Pole greatly de- lighted the dancing crowd. December 22 Hobart Bell is our Junior Rotarian for December. He gets to go to the Rotary's Christmas party and take some lucky girl with him. The Christmas chapel presented by the Freshmen included a Freshmen chorus, read- ings, and musical solos by Mrs. Robert Errigo. The most important announcement was Mr. Briggs' stating that Christmas va- cation had omcially started. January 3, 1949 After reluctantly returning from our twelve-day Christmas vacation, we elected Chuck McCracken Junior Rotarian for January. January 7 Basketball season began with a new and different head cheerleader leading our cheers-Marietta Tate. We wish her good luck and lots of support from the students. At our pep meeting this afternoon we heard from three outstanding characters from the Senior class: Larry Riddle, who expressed the hope that we would have a successful basketball season, Jack Riddle and Fritzie Smith, who were searching for a lost obiect-school spirit. It was found later at the game. The Sykesville Leopards downed the Golden Tide Five 24-17. Riddle of the Tide had 12 points. January TO Today the Seniors voted on the five best shows of 1948. Johnny Belinda rated first and the Senior class play, The Happier We'll Be, came in a close second. January ll Brockway High dealt the Golden Tide their second setback by a score of 30-27. High scorer was Lezzer with T2 points. 'win' Qiaafzl wg Q90 , ff! January 'l4 The Golden Tide dropped their third straight game at Summerville 32-20. Top ring- er was Larry Riddle with 'll points. January 20 Today our schedules were a little mixed up. Arriving at school at various hours, we went to rooms previously assigned and took tests to de- termine the capacity of our brains for holding information over a half-year period. Mid-terms, can't you tell? Ho! Hum! Another day gone! l hope that Mrs. Briggs has something good for supper, sighs Mr. Briggs. January 2'l The Tide bowed to the Reynoldsville Bull- dogs 42-26 at our game tonight. The big gun was Lezzer with 'I8 points. January 24 Today the Tri-Hi-Y started on a worthy project-collecting tor the March of Dimes. We took a picture of Bettie Mulhollan, the club president, with a campaign poster and can. January 27 We voted for the Senior students to represent Curwensville High in the book Who's Who Among Students in American High Schools. This is the second year our school has chosen represen- tatives who must be leaders in school activities, both class and extra-curricular, and persons of character, dependability, and all-around good citizens. January 28 The pep meeting tor our Sandy game was very humorous. Dolores Scolere presented a skit and the cheerleaders led us in lively school cheers and songs. We're looking forward to win- ning tonight's game. Sandy swamped the Golden Tide in a rough and tumble contest at Sandy Township by a score of 50-16. Lezzer tickled the draperies for a total of 6 points. 50 January 31 We all received the surprise of our lives today--we were given the results of a half year's labors in the form of report cards. At noon when we took the cards home we asked our friends to omit flowers February 1 Falls Creek sank the Tide 52-46 in a free scoring contest. Lezzer tallied 22 points. Riddle found the mark for 16 For February our class will be represented at Rotary by Dick Blackburn, one of those tall boys in our class February 4 The Golden Tide extended their streak by losing to Sykesville 32-23. Eight-ball Riddle hooped 10 points February 8 For the second time this season Brockway defeated the Tide 31-23. Riddle dumped 12 points for the Tide February 11 This morning at our class meeting we elected Bettie Mul ho!lan good citizen of the Senior class. Bettie will soon be taking an American history exam as a result of the election-poor girl! ln a spectacular contest, Summerville handed the Golden Tide a 34-28 setback. Kenny Lezzer wobbled the basket for a total of 12 points. February 14 The five top students of the graduating class, who inci- dentally are all girls, were feted with a banquet held by St. Andrew's Brotherhood of the Methodist Church, tonight, before our dance. The first dance of our Senior year, Cupid's Capers , and what a success! Our decorations were among the best yet, the refreshments tasty and unique, the entertainment gay, carefree and exciting, the Modern Aces provided the dancing rhythm while the entire Senior class provided the refreshments which included home made ice cream. DANGER! CUPID AT WORK! Look at our cute Senior couples! Don't they look sweet and innocent. Q?1 On Valentine's Day, romance reaches its peak. Don't you think so, Seniors? l'll bet Cupid was tired February 15. 51 February 16 and 17 Tonight and tomorrow night, we are spon- soring the movie, The Search. The story is very interesting, yet sad, as it tells the story ot a little German boy who, because he has been separated from his mother, is cared for by an American soldier, played by Montgomery Clitt. February 18 The history classes presented a chapel pro- gram in commemoration of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. The study hall was dec- orated with two large wood prints of these fam- ous men. At the basketball game tonight, Reynolds- ville thumped the Golden Tide 51-26. Riddle sparked the Tide with 10 points. Today we began the exchanging of our class pictures. Our home rooms were in great con- fusion as we rushed from one person to another to swap pictures and autograph them. There were a lot of sad looking faces when each one's supply of photos ran out. February 22 There's a new mystery about the school nowadays-an awful smell in Room 12. We don't know where it comes from or whether it's man, mouse, or perfume, but it certainly is odor- iferous. February 25 Sandy staggered the Tide by a score of 33-9 at the game tonight. February 28 The Golden Tide basketball team ended their season by bowing 29-20 to Falls Creek. Players who saw action for the last time were Burton Bennett, Milford Bowman, Dick Hilleman, and Larry Riddle. March 1 Our industrious Home Ec. girls have cer- tainly been busy this year. They have learned to knit, sew, embroider, darn, and crochet. Some of the girls are proudly sporting new sweaters of their own handiwork. March 4 Jean Lee Hallman, Burton Bennett and Mildred Bloom, by writing an essay on Can America Promote Democracy by Purely Demo- cratic Means? won prizes given by the Amer- ican Legion. March 7 Jimmy Petrone, our Junior Rotarian for March, appeared at a regular Rotary meeting with the latest style in haircuts given by Young Barber Rubbe. Tonight we were all going around in circles. Of course, it was at the skating party sponsored by the Alpha Tri-Hi-Y. We all feel fine tonight, but what about tomorrow? March 8 Howard Pentz, one of our shy Senior boys, was the mystery student in the Pattonite Mystery Student Contest. Four students solved the mys- tery by correctly guessing Howard. March 9 The Seniors are happy to display the beau- tiful plaque that we received 'From the Curtis Publishing Company for outstanding work in the sale of magazines, a grand total of S'l,488.20, and the hard working girl, Rose Marino, who topped the others with individual sales of over one hundred dollars. March ll Today an unheard of thing happened at our class meeting--a boy made a motion! Larry Riddle, who claimed this honor, moved that our class have a dance. Bravo, Larry! March T5 Just because it's the end of the year and the Echo is almost complete, you Seniors on the Business and Editorial staHs shouldn't stop work- ing and start horsing around! March 17 St. Patrick's Day and begorra if 'twarn't a beautiful mornin'. Our six tried men and true Csix Senior boysj wore white shirts and green ties to celebrate the occasion. 'Twere a fine sight to behold when Jack Patrick O'Riddle appeared in class wearin' the green on his differential. 53 54 rw Q' fkdf- e'.

These people that miss school-and with permission, too! Helen Wise and Frances Stewart, our class diplomats, were off to another United Nations meeting in Harrisburg. lf this goes on much longer the other Seniors will start using their veto power. March 25 Come in, Mr. Edmiston, we won't hurt you! Of course, you all know Mr. Edmiston, our busy janitor, who does a lot but never gets much credit. March 30 Today our bookkeeping class was in con- tact with great riches, but, sad as it was, we had to come back with empty pockets. You see, we visited the bank. Strangely enough, Mr. Straw guarded the bank's money quite well when he showed us the various machines and vaults, but we didn't mind. April 'I Dick Hilleman was chosen Junior Rotarian for April. lt's a good way to get a free meal! Mr. Miller had a rough time today. When he entered physics class, much to his surprise, his books and brains lbrief casej were missing. The joke backfired with J. Riddle and D. Hilleman reporting after school-double time! April 20 The Golden Tide will open their '49 base- ball season today at Madera. The Tide is look- ing forward to a very successful season if the wings of Jim Straw, Bob Howell, Pucky Rubbe, and Lance Duttry hold out. l May 4 May has arrived already, and our Junior Rotarian, Milford Bowman, will be able to enioy the good times all Rotarians have. May 13 As we look back to '48, we especially re- member May 14. This was the day we, as Jun- iors, honored the Seniors with the Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom. We were so excited-rush- ing about with decorations, hoping the food would be good, praying the entertainment would go over big, and fearing the orchestra would be delayed, but, as fate would have it, everyone enjoyed immensely A Night in Old Vienna. Tonight the Juniors honored us with a prom which was gay and delightful. For the first time in C. H. S. history, the Seniors were per- mitted to invite outside guests to the dance. We enjoyed every minute of the banquet, entertain- ment, and dance and we sincerely wish to thank the Junior Class for making our last formal school affair something to remember. May 'l7 For the last time in our high school careers, we as a class had a meeting in Room 12. Although we thought that this would be a joyous day, we felt a qualm as we thought of all the pleasant memories of the past years. May 'I8 Today the Juniors and we presented the Seniors' farewell chapel. Our high school days are drawing to a close and now we look for- ward to Commencement. This is an event which is happy, yet touched by sorrow. On May 26, when we march down the aisle to receive our sheepskins, which represent eight hard years of studying and four of high school fun, we will realize one of the biggest days in our lives. Even though we may wish to fall through the floor because of stage fright, this is a night we shall always remember. Because we are closing the diary before our commencement, we are in- cluding a picture of last year's graduating class. And so--farewell to our high school lives. lllwllfl 1 '1 , 4' we 1 . . Qt?

James Rubbe Vice-President ., Donald Griffith Secretary . . . . Ellen Jean Greslick Treasurer Anne Peters gm mug The present Junior class started high school as a bunch of green Freshmen, very green, as we were the first Frosh group to be quartered di- rectly in the Patton building. Here the boys and girls possessed different home rooms, and although the boys would have previously wel- comed this, both groups seemed skeptical now. You see, we had reached the adolescent period where we became quick imitators of the social activity of the upper classes. Rapidly falling in line, we selected officers who saw that the Fresh- men dance became a reality. , Not forgotten in those Freshmen days were Don Grittith's predicaments in general science, Forrest Hawk's argumentative attitude in Latin, Bob Howell's wise cracks in general business, or Don Bloom's antics in English class. But besides these, we earned ourselves the reputa- tion of having excellent talent and ability to use it. As Sophomores, we relaxed but were always kept busy. Such cliques as Rubbe, Spun, and Strick, Patterson and Lippert, Greslick and Peters, the Hot Shot Gang and others became well known. Biology class became a paradise for iokers like Lezzer and Dale. Algebra ll under Mr. Briggs never had a dull moment with Shu- bertie, Gunga Din Sample, and Aleatha ' Neff. Now we are Juniors, and although some of our most beloved personalities have left us, we still can't be beat. Trying to raise money is one of our biggest worries, and selling merchandise plus our Juniorvdance and play are big projects. Still we have characters making history that we'll never forget-Tubbs, the incessant sleeper, has competition in Hullihen and Leech, Fusko and LaRock are comedian mathematician and stone- faced chemist respectively. Alliene Guglielmi, Leslie Duttry, Mary Lee Miller--all are working hard to make the Junior class tops, and all are friends we never want to forget. 91 3 S Q 3 A E 2 ff 4 5 L X Q 3 ? 2 fx 3 gl S 3 is i 1 ,- 'i A E2 5 S E OFFICERS President ,. .

As slowly we walked through that strange new portal, We felt that this day would be surely immortal. We anxiously watched upper classmen go by As we smilingly greeted each friend with a Hi! We waited, impatient, till the first bell should ring Announcing the start of what high school might bring. 1 We entered, debating which way we should turn To locate the classrooms where much we would learn. With keen apprehension we mounted the stairs, Found home rooms, went in, and selected our chairs. Of rules and requirements-there were very many. From the library alone came a list of near twenty! ln accordance, we acted like angels two weeks, But then-like the rest-gum appeared in our cheeks! That year able officers we did choose, Who helped us to save our hard-earned dues. Then like the rest, we had our chance To outshine the others with our Freshman dance. Our final exams came late in May, And then came the fateful report card day. The fortunate ones were Freshmen no more- To our huge delight our class was Sophomore. The following summer swiftly passed. We were somewhat more bold as a Sophomore class: Greenies no longer, we ran up the stairs And soon found our rooms with confident airs. This year, like last, seemed to start off iust right, And we tackled hard problems with all of our might Choosing our rings was first in the book, To the day they'll appear, it's forward we look. Our coming years we hope will be fun, Both through winter's cold and summer's sun. Our teachers, we hope, will stay the same, And with their help, we'll try for fame. an: 1 '52 ' P p , KW' A .. , f W 'nba wi? , I W 5 6 M 3 wi W' if . if 'K if J flaw, The class of i952 entered the Patton Build- ing a little confused, a little in awe of the super- ior upper classmen, but determined to make history as the most talented, most intelligent eighty-three that ever trod the halls of C. H. S. We elected officers to guide us to our des- tiny. We also selected green and white as our class colors and the yellow tea rose as our class flower. The days sped by, and some of our mem- bers quickly achieved places of distinction in the high school. Chris Cullen and Sam McCracken were recognized in the sports circles, and David Verrelli, Emma Jean Bowers, and Jean Rowles rapidly ioined the ranks of the intelligentsia. Dolores Tiracord became the leading student of the pugno, pugnas class, and Mary Lou Gres- lick became a science student of great renown.

Early in the year we selected as our Fresh- man cheerleaders Nancy Hoblitzell and Mildred Gamble, and each Friday in chapel we cheered lustily under their direction. In December we presented a chapel pro- gram of Christmas readings and music. A Freshman chorus under the direction of Mrs. Briggs sang Christmas carols, and in Keith Gra- ham's mellow voice we thought we detected the possibilities of a budding Freshman Caruso. ln March we held a skating party at the Arch Roller Rink where Noel Hamilton and Nancy Hoblitzell impressed us with their professional skill. Thus the year came to a close, and we had at last been accepted. From six-foot Joe Kro- lick to four-foot Carl Johnson we were ready to take our places among the notables of C. H. S. il In E 6.

Through the efforts of a committee of interested citizens, the band was able to attend all the football games of the season, both at home and away, and its performances gave much color to the ath- letic events. Dressed as vagrants, the band members partici- pated in the local Hallowe'en parade. The spring concert which was presented in the Little Theatre in May was very en- tertaining and earned great praise for the band. The last appearance of the band for this year was given at the annual Memorial Day services. Weekly rehearsals are held every Monday evening in the music room, and during football season several hours each week are spent practicing drills for the football games. At the P. M. E. A. District Band Festival, which was held in March at Jersey Shore, the band was represented in the cornet section by Joan Lininger and in the baritone section by Jean Lee Hallman. MR. EARLE L. WILDE, JR. This is Mr. Wilde's second year as music director in the Curwensville schools. ln addition to his duties as instructor of the high school band, chorus, and orchestra, Mr. Wilde supervises the teaching of music in the lower grades and gives music lessons to the students.

The musical selections which are used for the infrequent public appearances of the orchestra during the year are of a varied nature, however, more popular music was attempted re- cently than in any previous years. Jean Lee Hallman represented our school at the District Orchestra Festival at Smethport, Pennsylvania, as a member ofthe violin section. A lack of stringed instruments will prevent the orchestra from functioning next year. 68 'il 917111 fhmun, The Girls' Chorus, also under the direction of Mr. Wilde, this year began its eighth year of musical study to help the members gain a better understanding and appreciation of various types of music. The chorus rehearses every Monday and Wednesday of the school term, and an ensemble of twelve girls met at the call of the director. During the school year, the chorus usually takes part in radio programs, assembly pro- grams, and various other activities. In May, the chorus and the orchestra presented a com- bined concert tor the public's entertainment. Norma Whitaker and Jackie Lord repre- sented the chorus at the P. M. E. A.

After the twenty-eight members of the club became acquainted with the duties connected with publishing a paper, they elcted Rosalie Mar- ino, Editor-in-Chief, Joseph Mallon, Assistant Edi- tor, and Bettie Mulhollan, Business Manager. The following staff was then appointed: News Editor, Maxine Kerr, Sports Editor, John Norris, Exchange Editor, James Olson, Club Editor, Wil- liam LaRock, Social News Editor, Davalyn Mor- gillo, Head Typist, Ann Stricek, Cartoonist, Bruno Sorento, and Mimeoscope Artist, Fritzie Smith. Mrs. Jane Stadtmiller is the faculty advisor. The PATTONITE is issued each Friday and contains news of school activities and personal episodes of the students and teachers. When- ever possible, the theme of the paper is the current holiday. A little variety was added this year by printing the paper with different col- ored inks. , eggs,-.,+, rs.

Because of the large number of scheduled activities, we undertook only one maior proiect this year. This was help- ing to make Christmas a ioy for several needy families. We attempted to better our characters by having at our meetings guest speakers who dis- cussed subjects such as personality and friend- ship. We also read articles and stories on suit- able subiects. Our first outstanding activity was partici- pating in the Hallowe'en Parade, we received a five dollar prize for our nicely decorated float. At one of our October meetings we cele- brated Hallowe'en by serving pumpkin pie and candy corn. In December we had a food sale which contributed funds to the club treasury. We sent representatives to several out-of- town activities. Our advisor and all members who were able to attend were present at the Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y Rally in Punxsy. We chose Helen Wise and Frances Stewart to represent us at the United Nations convention in Indiana, Pennsyl- vania. At that meeting they were selected to go to a continuation of the meeting in Harrisburg on March 'I8 and 'l9. We bought Tri-Hi-Y emblems with a portion of the money from our treasury. We wish to extend to the future Alpha Tri- Hi-Y's our wishes for good luck and success. Baia, ,7ful-JlL- , The Beta Tri-Hi-Y was organized in Septem- ber with Mrs. Briggs as our advisor.

For our good deed we contributed to the County Home in Clearfield at Christmas time. We sold clothespins, and had a food sale and a skating party to earn money in order to buy Tri-Hi-Y sweaters.

' mfr, gm At the beginning of the '48 and '49 school term, something new was added to the list of activities here at Curwensville High. It was a Handiwork Club under the supervision of our new teacher, Miss Phillips. The membership was open only to Freshman and Sophomore girls at first, but because so many upper classmen wanted to join, the membership was re- opened to Junior and Senior girls also. The club now has a membership of nineteen girls who have chosen the fol- lowing officers to lead them through the year: President ......,. . .lo Ann Weber Vice President . , .. . Geane Gardner Secretary-Treasurer . . , . Emma Jean Bowers Among the various activities of the club are the crocheting, embroidering, and knitting of miscellaneous articles. The first year of the club's organization has been very entertaining and edu- cational, and we hope that future years will prove the same. 77 Left to right: Mildred Gamble, Betty Jean Strickland, Virginia Smith, Marietta Tate, Trudie Hummel, Alliene Guglielmi, Jeanne Shaw, Nancy Hoblitzell.

Mem- bership in the club is open to all girls in grades nine to twelve, with meeting days being every other Tuesday throughout the school year. At the beginning of the year our director selected four captains and teams to participate in volley ball and basketball tournaments. Dur- ing the winter months, volley ball was the most popular game with the girls. Calisthenics and various games kept the club members active also. At the beginning of the second semester, Mr. Zwirek demonstrated to the girls a few fun- damentals of 'basketball-the various types of shots, correct ways of passing the ball, correct standing positions, and many other useful bits of information before the various teams prac- ticed with each other. ln the spring the girls will conclude their activities for the year by taking hikes and play- ing soft ball and numerous other games.

'JL flown Flay, 'U ' 211, 52, The play was scheduled for December 9 and 10. The posters were already made bear- ing the words: The Senior Class presents The Happier We'll Be, a three-act comedy-December 9 and 'I0. What would happen if we couldn't' learn our parts during the time allotted? That was the chance we had to take. Our directress, Miss Mallon, along with Mr. McCarl, hustled around getting properties to fit the time, play, and characters. The play characters themselves were in a quandary, doing their darndest to learn their parts-forward and backwards. Finally it came-Thursday, December 9. The curtains were drawn at 8:15. The play started, it ended-no promptings. Yea, the en- tire play cast was proud! Friday night came with the play starting at the set time. Prompting? Yes, we had some, but not enough to be noticeable. That night after the play we had these pictures taken so you, our friends, could look at us and remember us in our thespian days: It took quite some man- euvering on the part of the photographer to get us in the right position. However, the play wouldn't have been a success without the help and patience of Miss Mallon and Mr. McCarl, Our student directress, Joan Lininger, and our stage managers, Helen Wise and Violet Norman, proved a great lift indeed. Our between-act entertainers-Alliene and Norma Guglielmi, Jean Mulson, Anna Or- lando, Rose Pistilli, Ann Stricek, Violet Norman, and Helen Wise-were wonderful. We, the play-cast, are proud of our achieve- ments in creating a play which our friends enjoyed. Judy Thatcher .,... ....., M arietta Tate Mrs. Thatcher .,.... .....

The Junior Tide's opponents for the six meetings were the Bigler Township, Osceola Mills, and Mahaffey J. V. elevens. As the T948 season began, there were thirty-eight seventh and eighth grade boys eager to begin football practice. ln October the Junior High Madera Green Raiders came to Curwensville to play the Junior High Tide, but were snowed under by the alert, active Junior Tide, 27-0.

In the loss column it was Osceola Mills out front in two, T8-0 and T2-6, and Bigler Township in the finale, 12-7, Two tilts were held under the lights, one at the Riverside Stadium with Bigler Township and the other at Osceola Mills. the Green Raiders at Madera. Once again, the enthusiastic Junior Tide came through with a 26-0 victory. Although it was impossible to schedule any other games, the boys proved themselves a credit to our school and showed possibilities of becoming a good future high school football team. 3 .M Hipps, L.

In 1813 and 1814, the people of Curwensville and vicinity gathered to- gether, cmd by their united and voluntary effort put up a log house for school purposes. The old log school-house, as it was called, was located on what is now Filbert Street. About 1833 money was subscribed and a school-house was erected on Filbert Street, known as the Curwensville Academy. One of the early teachers was John Patton, Sr. In 1856 William Irvin erected, at his own expense, what was known as the Brick School-house. In 1884, the Hon. John Patton offered to donate 510,000 for the erection of a new building. This offer was accepted and subsequently increased by him to S20,000. The cornerstone was laid with Masonic ceremonies on September 2, 1884 and on October 1, 1885 the schools were opened in the new building, which was named by the directors in honor of his generosity, The Patton Graded Public School. General Patton could not have presented a more useful and enduring gift to the community, and long after the present generation shall have passed away the institution bearing his name will witness to those who shall come after us his public spirit and munificence. -From History of Clearfield County 1892 96 FIRST FACULTY IN PATTON BUILDING 1885 Mr. G.
