We shall remember these four years. Do you remember the fun we had working together in class affairs, preparing for class plays, and the final achievement of our Junior year-the annual Junior-Senior Prom? As soon as our Senior year started, we began preparations to meet the expenses of our yearbookg this could not have been accomplished with- out the help of everyone. We wish to extend sincere thanks to all the merchants who have con- tributed to the success of the Bethescope. Wle wish to extend special thanks to Dr. Robert Bell for his generous cooperation in helping to make the Snapshot department of our book a success. YVe want to commend Nliss Perrone and lN'liss Horner, our sponsors, for devoting their time and patience in helping to create our yearbook. It has been a long road to graduation, but now we are ready to go into the world better prepared to face its problems. It is the purpose of this volume to record, in some measure, the hum- ble contributions of the class of '43 to our Alma lN'Iater, to portray school and its activities as a token of remembrance of those friends, places, and events that have been so familiar to all of us.

The second and third major objectives, social etliciency and character development have been stressed during your past four years. ln order that you could distinguish between real and passing interest, in order that you would not have any distorted values, many' opportunities have been given to develop you individually as a better member of society. You have had opportunities to develop leadership and initiative. You have been encouraged to think for your- self and to draw your own conclusions. Your education has been based upon the equality of man, regardless of race or creed. Your education has been based on truth. You have been educated to live as free men in an American Democracy. lfVith every freedom goes a corresponding obligation. Our foes are attacking your personal freedom, the kind of a life you have learned to live is being challenged. Now you are being called upon to defend the American way of life. The moral excellence of your own character assures us of the final outcome. lylay this departure of yours, from normal life, be beneficial rather than detrimental and in Lincoln's words: lVitli firm- ness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the Work in which we are engaged.

It hardly seems possible that four years have gone by since we were Green Freshmen. How well We remember that first day of school, nineteen thirty nine ! I ! ! It was fun-for the upperclassrnenl As Freshmen we did feel as if we were intruders, but that soon Wore off. The highlight of our Freshman year was the Freshman and Sophomore party. After that, we really got into the swing of things. But our Freshmen days were soon over, and We came back in nineteen forty vowing vengeance for the initiation We had had the year before. VVe elected our first Class Officers in our Sophomore year. They were: President, lWary Bartyg Vice-President, Andrew Vvaskog and Secretary and Treasurer, John Kovach. Showing our revolutionary trend, we were the first class ever to have a Sophomore Class Play. VVe were proud of our efforts when the play Stuffed Skirts, under the direction of Miss Adams, proved to be a huge success. Playing 'fbig sister to the Fresh- men, we formally welcomed them with the annual Freshmen and Sopho- moreparty. This time we were the hosts-not the guests. Our bright horizon was clouded by the death of a dear classmate, Dolores Natali. The days rushed by and before we knew it we were Juniors. This year our Class OHicers were: President, John Kovachg Vice President, Bill blorgang and Secretary and Treasurer, Frank Shavish. VVe were kept busy trying to earn enough money to finance the Junior-Senior Prom. One of our best attempts was the Junior Class Play, Pigtails, directed by lyliss Huffman, which was loudly acclaimed by all who saw it. lVhat fun we had preparing for the Prom! On the night of the Prom, we all glowed with pride, and justly so, for it was a night to remember. Only one thing marred the perfection of our Junior year. Due to the treachery of another nation, we entered the Second VVorld YVar on December the eighth, nineteen forty-one. Nineteen forty-two descended upon us and we returned to school as Seniors. VVe were determined, mature Seniors, for, being in the midst of war, we realized that this would be the end of all school days for many of us. ln View of the existing conditions, we had a really successful Senior year, led by our Class Officers: President, Bill Morgan, Vice President, Fred Stuvekg Secretary, Margaret Smith, and Treasurer, Barbara Van- degrift. Our chief worry was financing the Bethescope. The Senior ,Class Play, VVe're In The Army Now, which portrayed the trend of the times was produced and was wholeheartedly accepted by the public. Slowly but surely graduation time drew near. VVe'll probably never forget our frantic preparations for Class Night, nor the gravity of Gradu- ation Night. It was an occasion for pride as well as sorrow, pride in successfully terminating our high school career, and sorrow in leaving the place where we had worked and played during four short years. Our footsteps may wander far from the doors of East Bethlehem High School but a part of us will always be there. It is not easy to f.or- get the school where we made new friends and drew nearer to old ones. And, when memories are all we have left to comfront us, East Bethlehem will always have a place in the memories of yesterday. SEINICDRS L .9 Fw, MARY LOUISE BALDESARI Class Sports 1, 2, 3, 4.

The oflice of the OPA ruled that buses could not be used for transporting football teams, five of our opponents had cancelled their games, our coach had joined the Army and school was opening in three days. VVith Nlr. Davies and Mr. Greskovich as coaches, voluntary transportation, and a few new opponents on our schedule the squad was called together for its first practice with only six days to go before it met Brownsville High School in the opener. lfVhile the season's record was not impressive, the team played well and showed continued improvement. The high point of the season was reached in the game with Jefferson when the wearers of the blue and gold had victory snatched from them during the last minute of play.

That could well be the motto of the Press Club, whose duty is to write up all school activities in an interesting and pleasing manner. By the response of the student body and of the growing exchange list, which includes papers from such distant points as Hawaii and Alaska, it can easily be seen why, in such a short span of years, the Press Club has grown to be one of the most important clubs in our school-for what would we do without the Hi-Spots? Hats off, to you, journalistic minded students and advisors for suc- ceeding in making our school days brighter. Oflicers include: Editor-in-chief-Betty VVaugh, Business Nlanager -VVilliam Roesch, Advisors-Mr. hlarconi and lVlr. Cullen. .4 , B4 Rofw Onf: Kallis, Bartosh, Karanovich, Distefanis, Mazzer, M.

ALPHA TRI-HI-Y Ready to extend a helping hand, spread cheer and comfort when needed could certainly be the motto of the Alpha Tri-I-Ii-Y. After their initiation, they started on a program largely centered around war work. Along this line they undertook such things as collecting tin cans, taking the First Aid Course, as well as doing work for the Red Cross. It was the clever idea of this group to erect the Christmas tree in the school this year. They also tried their hand at interior decorating. In the social part of their program, they had athletic meetings, theatre parties, a meeting held at night once a month, and the annual Christmas party for needy children. They held a Mother and Daughter Banquet at the close of the school year.

VARSITY CLUB Its purposes are to foster and further sportsmanship of the highest type in competitive athletics, to insure a spirit of co-operation and of mu- tual assistance among themselves, to maintain the esprit de corpsn which marks the successful team, to govern the conduct and behavior of varsity teams that they may reilect the greatest credit upon the High School, and to guard jealously the honor of their insignia, the varsity ENB, insist- ing that it be fairly earned and honorably worn.

CAMERA CLUB The Camera Club was organized by the present Senior Class in the year nineteen thirty-nine. It is possibly one of the most interesting clubs in our school. During the course of the year, true to their name, they have taken, developed, and printed pictures, many of which Will appear in the Bethescope. They also participated in several photo contests. Pins were awarded to graduating Seniors. On the lighter side, they have taken new members into the club and initiated them with an informal and formal initiation and have had num- erous parties.

HI-Y The Hi-Y, brother club of the two Tri-Hi-Y clubs in our school, has centered its year's program aroundithe War theme. Having given up traditional trips to Pittsburgh to see hockey and football games, mem- bers contented themselves with athletic meetings and an occasional party. Their main events of the year were the numerous campaigns which they held. Among these were Clean-Speech, 'lShine Your Shoes, and VVear a Tie campaigns. In the interest of the student body, they have organized the Rest Room Patrol. Clean Living, Clean Speech, Clean Sportsmanship is indeed the motto of this club. The Hi-Y extends sin- cere good wishes to the class of 1943.

They have 'shown willingness to help anyone who enters the library in search of reference or fiction. VVith the money they have earned throughout the year they have pur- chased a new pen, some new novels, and plan to subscribe to several periodicals for the coming year.

A First Aid course together with lectures by a public health nurse were but a few of their undertakings.

During the summer months, a committee appointed by the President, drew up a Constitution which was adopted at the first meet- ing. At their Christmas meeting, they had a Christmas program, pro- vided by the program committee. Throughout the year they have given programs to encourage appreciation of the different dramatic forms of literature, for it is only through presentations that students gain a work- ing knowledge of the stage as well as acting. This is considered an honorary club for those members of the casts of either the Junior or Senior Class Plays.

THE BAND, Our Pride and Joy--there is perhaps no other single group that works as hard or accomplishes more in promoting school spirit. The students and people of the community have felt Our Band's presence at school, on the gridiron, and in many community functions. Its presence was felt in county and state, by the Winning of first place in a state-Wide Xylophone contest. Nlartha Bartosh captured first honors. Much of the credit for the remarkable success of this organization must be given to Mr. Sporny, both for his excellent direction and his friendly personality which inspired each member to do his best not only for the honor of the school, but for the praise of his directing.

CLASS PROPHECY Headlines and Bylines Dated fMay 26, 19531. VVell, here is your roving reporter again. Today our broadcast comes from the Morgan Pharmacy, formerly the Haver Drug Store. As we enter we are greeted by the well-known smile of its proprietor. Seating ourselves at the fountain, we are approached by the smiling waitresses. Why they are Mary Baldesari, Ella Mae Barndollar, and Dorothy West. We are informed there is another drug store in town, running fairly close competition with Mor- gan's. It is YVelling's Pharmacy run by Betty Hepler and Alberta Evans. It was formerly Newmyeris. Picking up the local newspaper from the counter, edited by Gertrude George, we turn first to the Sports Page.

Admiral YVilliz1m Sargent, and Kovach returned from their post in the Pacific to renew old acquaintances. They are the commanding officers of three companies of Leathernecks. Major Harry Brown, of the artillery division of the army, was recently promoted. His success is due to the fact that he talked his way into his present position.
