Dear Students: Do you remember preparing for the Prom or per- haps the Class Play? It was such great fun, wasn't it? There are so many happy and exciting events that take place during your high school course that you never want to forget them. The parties, dances, assemblies, and plays have helped to make your school life happier, and the friendships be- gun in school are valued above all. Realizing that a yearbook cannot be a success unless it satisfies those for whom it is published, the Bethescope, in its recording of these happy events and friendships, has attempted to fulfill the desires of two groups, the student body of today and the alumni of tomorrow. The events recorded herein are now vibrant and vital, but it is the sincere wish of the Staff that this, the Bethescope of 1941, will not prove monotonous to you as years lend sobriety to your ideas and judgments. Cordially yours, The Editor. H51 R. S. Winton lVl. W. Davies Supervising Principal High School Principal Hn Expression of Our Hppreciation i' 'k i' This humble expression of our apprecia- tion can never compensate for all of the aid and advice given us by our two princi- pals, Mr. Winton and Mr. Davies. If ever any student were troubled with an unsolved problem, his path unknowingly led to one or the other, where the problem was destined to be solved. Many a student has found un- awakened possibilities within himself through the encouragement and example of these two inspirational men. They have truly been guiding lights in our path of learning. -1 1 94 1 Bethescope Leaders of Youth Teachers of Youth, But Mr. Winton Mr. Davies Miss Haver Mr. Edwards Mr. Harshman Miss Zwick Mr. Bower Words We'll Remember : Mr. Winton- I'll see about that at once. Mr. Davies- Remember - booing is a sound that comes only from a hollow ob- ject. Miss Haver- Sit in the middle of your seat and keep your eyes on your own paper. Mr. Edwards- Of course, that's my own opinion. Everyone has a right to his own opinion. Mr. Harshman- We're here to work! No sleeping in this class! Miss Zwick- Have you no respect for your elders? When you'Ve finished talking, I'll continue. Mr. Bower - That'll be enough of the Beechnut Quartet. l8l Counselors and Friends, As Well Mrs Smith Mr. Greskovich Mr. Marconi Miss Morgan Miss Adams Miss Perrone Miss Sokol Words We'll Remember: Mrs. Smith- All right, girls, stop your giggling and sing. Mr. Greskovich- Usher yourself up to this corner seat. Mr. Marconi- Write out the whole book for tomorrow! . . . I'l1 take that back, but the next time .... ! Miss Morgan- When two students make the same grade, it may be a coincidence, but when two students make the same mistakes, it's not a coincidence. Miss Adams- Good acting requires that you drop your own character and be some- one else. Miss Perrone - Don't forget--mark in the accents, acute and grave. Miss Sokol- We have only one rule in this class: Come prepared to work. I re- serve the right to ask you to leave if you come without pencil or paper. l9l A Memo . Mr. Winton-As -students you very seldom come in direct contact with him, but he is the man that makes things tick in our school. Mr. Davies-You've met him in Physics or Chemistry class, or perhaps it was in the oflice when you were a few minutes late. Miss Morgan-If you leave her class without having every date down pat fand I do mean Historical datesj it's not her fault. Miss Haver-It's her ambition to curb all the slang you hear about the school. She's also the guiding light of the Beta Tri-Hi-Y girls. Mr. Harshman-All that he's interested in is that you know how to form equations. Mr. Greskovich-If there is any detail you wish to know concerning Biology, the man to see is the lord and master of Room B. Miss Sokol-She is the teacher that has her hands full. If she's not trying her best to get her not-overly-ambitious yearbook staff to meet a pub- lication deadline, she's giving her first team debaters last minute in- structions in preparation for a debate. Miss Adams-She gives you the primary essentials of becoming a great Latin orator, and is also identified with the Drama Club. Miss Perrone-You've just got to get the right accent on your French vo- cabulary if you Want to please her. Miss Zwick-She may make you a great basketball star, or volleyball if that's your preference. Also dispenses aspirins as a sideline. Mr. Edwards-Oh yes, he's the little man that has everyone writing 1500- word essays on The World Situation Today. It's still to be decided whether he is harder on the Freshies or the dignified Seniors. Mr. Marconi- Haven't you blocked that column yet ? -a familiar ques- tion heard in the vicinity of the typing room about two days before the Hi-Spots is due to come out. Mr. Bower-You don't leave his class without knowing every detail in the life of Edgar Allan Poe. Mrs. Smith-E. B.'s music instructress. She trained our boys' and girls' choruses. i101 Youth In Their Classes llll SENIORS Left to right-Snyder, Pres.g Dol- cini, Treasurerg Parrish, V. Pres.g Cerqua, Secretary. Class of 1941 The Class of '41 made its entree into this institution of higher educa- tion in 1937. A reception committee composed of a little over 200 upper- classmen, armed with an abundant supply of shellac, shoe polish, castor oil, et cetera, greeted us. After they finished with us we looked like a sur- realist's dream of the missing-link and we felt as bad as we looked. But we enjoyed making new acquaintances and learning the ways of the school. We soon settled down to the routine of classes however, and to make us feel at home the Sophomores gave us a party in our honor. This was about the only social hi-lite of our Freshman year. Not being an or- ganized body, we were unable to sponsor any events of our own. Our Sophomore year brought with it sweet revenge. What hap- pened to those dumb Freshies, shouldn't happen to a dog. This year we elected officers of our class. Kenneth Snyder was elected Presidentg Vera Kapcar, Vice Presidentg and Nellie Podzerviensky, Sec- retary-Treasurer. These officers were in charge of the Freshman-Sopho- more party and under their direction it was a huge success. Hi-Lites of Our History i121 .-YQ After the first year in high school, the following years seem to pass more quickly-they did to us anyway. With our Junior year came newer and greater responsibilities-both in our studies and social affairs. And to lead us through these responsi- bilities we elected Allan. Parrish, President, Kenneth Snyder, Vice Presi- dent, and Vera Kapcar, Secretary-Treasurer. Raising funds for the Junior-Senior Prom was our object, and by splendid co-operation within the class we achieved our goal. We sponsored a class play entitled, Spring Fever, under the able direction of Miss Adams, who sponsors the Drama Club. The cast put on a fine performance and the play went over in a big way. On May 10, 1939, members of the Junior and Senior classes, bedecked in their finest raiment, tripped the light fantastic at the annual Junior- Senior Prom. - We have reason to be proud of this hi-lite. During the year we sponsored many social Hi-Lites and the class was well represented in the various organizations and sports of the school. When we returned to school as Seniors, following summer vacation, we found that the membership of our class had dwindled from 112 upon enrollment as freshmen to 69 Seniors. - What happened to those other 43? To lead us down the home stretch we elected Kenneth Snyder as President, Allan Parrish as Vice President, Sundae Cerqua as Secretary, and Harris Dolcini as Treasurer, which proves that this is a man's world after all. Vera Kapcar became Editor-in-Chief of the Bethescope and Kenneth Bachman editor of the Hi-Spots. Paul Cupp, Joseph Miller, Kenneth Bachman, Walter Doman, Charles Murray, and Harris Dolcini did right by our Football Squad and Murray, Snyder, Cupp, Dolcini, and Wayne Nyswaner held down berths on the Basketball Squad. Early in the year we sponsored the Senior Class Play, Foot-Loose, with Miss Adams once more directing. Again the crown of success was bestowed upon us. Our play was followed by a series of dances and parties, climaxed by the annual J unior-Senior Prom. We bring to a close the Hi-Lites of Our History with Today we fol- low, tomorrow we lead as our motto, navy blue and white as our class colors, and the yellow tea rose as our class flower. We are bound to suc- ceed - successfully. I13l Robert James Abbadini UAbbyl7 Walter Bartko Sparky Alyce Davis Brown Sam Davtovich J aspe1 ' Margaret Drucheck K6Duchll Ralph E.

E331 STUDENT COUNCIL Row One-Kapcar Brenzovich, Mr. Davies, Castana, Distefanis. Row Two-Gamble Kallis, Kimtantas, Kurtz. Row Three-Burkus Moravitz, Kloss. This organization is composed of representatives from every classroom in the school. Although in its third year of existence the council is still quite new. This group, under the guidance of Mr. Davies, has learned to conduct its meetings according to par- liamentary procedure. It has successfully undertaken the financial responsibility of the series of five pro- fessional assemblies held during the school term. To obtain enough money to cover the cost of purchasing Varsity letters for deserving athletes, a Faculty- Varsity basketball game was sponsored by this club. Officers were: President, Sophie Kimtantasg Vice President, Vera Kapcarg Secretary-Treasurer, John Burkusg Sponsor, Mr. Davies. E341 Fluency, adaptability, and a good refutation are the qualities of a good debater. Also a necessity for this last season was ample knowledge concerning the NRA, the three departments of our government, un- employment, social security, and the like. Why? Be- cause the debate topic was-Resolved: That the power of the Federal government should be increased. A university debate in Pittsburgh, and a series of tournaments with neighboring schools rounded out a busy season for affirmative speakers Beck, Waugh, Paler, Simon, and negative speakers Kapcar, Fer- nandez, Morris, Bercosky, and Lewis. Miss Sokol was their coach.

They have given generously to the Tubercu- losis fund, the Red Cross, and the Inter-Racial fund, and they co-operated with the Hi-Y to make the maga- zine subscription campaign a success. One of its most successful projects was the spon- soring of the annual Christmas party for the needy children of the grade school. There have been dif- ferences of opinion as to whether the kids had more fun, or the girls who entertained them. Officers for the year Were: President, Margaret Drucheckg Vice President, Vera Kapcarg Secretary, Jeanne Hawkins, Treasurer, Diane Morgang Chaplain, Gladys Ball, Sponsor, Miss Zwick. l36l Not to be outdone by its sister organization, the Alpha Club, the Beta-Tri-Hi-Y has been very active all year. They, too, gave generously to the Tubercu- losis Association and the Red Cross. They also spon- sored clean-up campaigns, clean speech campaigns, Go-to-Church Campaigns, and on the lighter side have held parties and athletic meets just for the sheer joy of being together. During the course of the year various members also entertained the club at their homes. Presiding officers were: President, Lenora Palerg Vice President, Margaret Smith, Secretary, Melba Mazzerg Treasurer, Norma Bartkog Chaplain, Olivette Brown, Sponsor, Miss Haver.

This group undoubtedly enjoyed one of its best seasons, because, along with its social schedule of athletic and swimming meets, parties and dances, it also did much to honestly strengthen a lagging school spirit. It started the campaign to pay the final pay- ments on the electrical scoreboard, and the willingness of this gesture served to knit the student body into a unified Whole, where co-operation, friendliness, and companionship were the first and last words. Its splendid work has been a real boon to East Bethlehem High School. Oilicers for the past season were: President, Sundae Cerquag Vice President, Kenneth Bachmang Secretary, John Morgan, Treasurer, Ralph Natalig Sergeant-at-Arms, Harris Dolcinig Chaplain, Paul Cuppg Sponsor, Mr. Harshman. i381 The Camera Club, just in its second year, has brought out a surprising number of students genuinely interested in photography. It is evident that there is much enthusiasm among the members by the results of the snapshot contests held during the year. All entries were judged according to originality, scene, clearness, and lighting. A season of enjoyable activity was rounded out with the purchase of a camera, the club's exclusive property, which the members hope will be a nucleus around which more equipment will be gathered. Officers were: President, William Morgan, Vice President, Melba Mazzerg Secretary, Lenora Palerg Treasurer, Gloria Tedesco, Sponsor, Miss Perrone.

One thing is commonly con ceded to this group, and that IS that it is perhaps the greatest single force in making our school life com pletely enjoyable. Anxious waltlng for the H1 Spots each month is eloquent testimonlal to this fact Officers Were: President, Kenneth Bachman Vice President, Martha Thomasg Secretary Rena Battlstoll Treasurer, William Natali. l 40 l In our midst we have discovered several students who are truly dramatically inclined, as was evidenced by the plays produced by the Drama Club, the suc- cesses of which have been largely due to the work of Miss Adams, dramatic coach. Highlights of the Drama Club's season were the first use of the new stage setting presented to the school by the school board, the fun of having a Movie Star party, and the witnessing of Helen Hayes in Shakespeare's Twelfth Night at the Nixon Theatre.

One generally imagines librarians as serious- minded, stodgy, bespectacled women. At our school, however, the librarians are a group of pleasant-looking, capable, young ladies, as the picture above proves. The librarians have been responsible for a number of innovations, among which are: the books have been listed in a more convenient manner, an electrical clock has been installed, and a library stool and new books have been purchased. At club meetings, after the business on hand had been disposed of, the remainder of the time was de- voted to social activities. Officers were: President, Vera Kapcarg Vice Presi- dent, Sophia Kimtantasg Secretary, Martha Thomasg Treasurer, Pauline Yodens, Advisors, Miss Zwick, Miss Adams. l42l This club is undoubtedly the most colorful and in- structive within the school, colorful because it appeals to air-minded youth and instructive because it gives them a chance to satisfy their burning quest for knowl- edge about aviation. Judging from the vast number of model planes they have built, the club is doing a thorough job of giving the students a vicarious satis- faction in aviation, and their annual trip to the Alle- gheny County Airport was enjoyed with the spirit and abandon that only a Junior Aviator can possess.

These students progressed nicely in spreading their tenets throughout the entire school via a Safety Cam- paign in which safety films were shown to the student body. Through a clear View of what safety means and how its rules should be applied, our student body was advanced another step in that slow, evolutionary process in which carelessness is replaced by watchful- ness and mindfulness.

The purpose of their organization is a triplicate one-sound bodies, sound minds, and sound sports- manship. It is unanimously agreed that they have done much to further this triune ideal.

At a Checkered Football Season: The 1940 football season brought outstanding players to the front all over the country, and our school was not without its quota. Davis, Lancaster, Packrall, Doman, Mur- ray, Cupp, and Dolcini displayed good examples of heads-up football. This year our team was small, but it was by no means a push-over. This year, too, more than ever, the morale of the team was bolstered by a fine showing of school spirit. . . The boys went in each game with a desire only to wing and whether they won or not, they may be proud of the fact that they put up a good fight each time. At a Shaky Basketball Season: The boys who represented East Bethlehem in basketball have shown that they are not quitters. Defeat after defeat did not dampen their spirit one iota. Congratulations to them for having displayed a fine example of good sportsmanship. A losing team does not mean that the team has poor players, and a winning team does not necessarily mean that the players are experts. Good players are judged by the way they play the game - and East Bethlehem's men have played. No better word can be spoken of them. l51l WI Q-F Glimpses from Here and There .
