Three Foreword We have chosen for the theme of the 1946 La Torchee'tThdnk You for Our Schools and Organizations, East Stroudsburg! Since we are extremely proud of our community and of the provisions it has made to develop in us the high- est religious, cultural, social, and recreational phases of life, we have featured in this book our community, together With our school. With this objective in mind we have used pen and lens to tell in brief the story of East Stroudsburg and its schools, with particular emphasis on the Senior High School's curricular and extracurricular activities.

To East Stroudsburg. the Dansbury of I946 Pennsylvania, all nationally known metal work Do you know you live in Dansbury? Well, you do. In 1737, Daniel Brodhectd purchased six hundred acres of land hereabouts, estab- lished his home, Brodhead Manor, at the pres ent site of the General Hospital, and named his vast holding of real estate, Dansbury. Incorporated in 1870, East Stroudsburg has had c1 remarkable growth from the days of its founding father until the present time. Today our community ranks as the largest urban and industrial area in Monroe County. Our community, lying just east'of Brodhectd's Creek, might be termed the railroad, industrial, resort, educational, religious, and medical cen- ter of the county. The Delaware, Lackawanna and Western and the Pennsylvania Railroads have their station here in the heart of the Po- conos. The Hughes Publishing Company, one of the largest printing firms in the East, has its main plant and offices here, too. East Strouds- burg is the home of the International Boiler Works, the Patterson-Kelley Company, the Line Material Company of Pennsylvania, the Pocono Metal Cratters, and the Art Metal Company of ing industries. The public and parochial schools, the State Teachers College, the Gen- eral and the Rosenkrctns Memorial Hospitals, make this the hub of the educational and medi- cal services of the county. The religious tone of the town wells from the Methodist, Lutheran, Presbyterian, Baptist, Catholic and Hebrew' congregations, plus the Salvation Army and smaller denominations. East Stroudsburg looks to the post war era With confidence and optimism. Better housing, residential, business and industrial zoning, im- proved streets, curbs, sidewalks, street lighting, new industries, a modern sewage disposal sys- tem, parking meters in the shopping area, ade- quate airport facilities, an extensive and mod- ern addition to the General Hospital, a Memor- ial Athletic Stadium, and a new and modern high school building are in the borough's horo- scope. In honor of East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, the Dansbury of 1946, we solemnly and respect- fully dedicate this year's edition of LC: Torche.

This is a class in first year Spanish. The Humanities and a Liberal Education In our school the pupils are the recipients of a liberal education. They are the products of a philosophy of education that believes it is more important to learn how to live than it is to learn how to make a living. With this purpose in mind our school board, our principals, and our teachers have empha- sized in our curricula the humanities, the social studies, the sciences, and mathematics. What are the studies labeled the humanities? English, foreign languages, and the arts are the trilology in this classification. In our program of studies English consists of English and Amer- ican literature and oral and written composi- tion. The foreign languages offered are Latin, French, and Spanish. An elementary knowl- edge of the written and spoken word of each of these languages is mastered in these courses. Unfortunately, our program in the arts is limit- ed to music. In this field, however, we have enriched our offerings to include band, instru- mental and organ lessons, singing, chorus, musical history and appreciation, and theory. Why study English? Our pupils read goodi literature in order that they may grasp direct- ly the potentialties and norms of living as they are presented to them by the best writers. Oral and written composition is studied in order that the pupils may freely and effectively exchange thoughts. Why study foreign languages? In our school the primary purpose of studying a foreign lan- guage is to have the pupils appreciate and realize that structure is the skeleton of all speech, and that words carry history With them. What of the arts? The arts bring delight; they train the emotions; they develop under- standing. The happiness of all people will be increased or decreased by the presence or ab- sence of aesthetic sensitivity to music, painting, drawing, and modeling, as well as to literature. Such an art as music cultivates the social skills. To sing in a chorus or to play in a band is to merge oneself with a larger and disciplined whole Without losing one's own individuality. Eleven Making democracy live through student leadership in a class in Problems of American Life The Social Studies and a Liberal Education ttMan is by nature a political animal. So said Aristotle. He further said that virtue and goodness in the state are not a matter of chance but the result of knowledge and purpose. What better reasons for emphasizing the social studies in our program of liberal education can be found than these. American history is a required subject for every pupil in our high school. This course re- volves about the careful and detailed study of many of the principal events, movements, per- sonalities, and institutional developments in American history. It is' strongly factual in na- ture, and aims to provide a foundation for all later study or discussion of American life and society and for participation in the activities of citizenship. Our eleventh grade pupils study European history. This subject is treated from the point of view that the main tendencies in the devel- opment of our modern civilization stem from Europe's roots With this emphasis goes the study of the geographical factors involved. Twelve The war has driven home to us the problems of consumption. Many civilians felt the im- pact of war largely through rationing, price control, campaigns for saving, and the fight against inflation. We have seen the miracle of production take place in America; a press- ing postwar question is whether, with the use of intelligence, we can distribute our potential plenty to the American people and so match the production miracle With a consumption and distribution miracle. A course in consumer edu- cation has been added to our social studies offerings to enable the individual student to develop values and establish standards of choice-making which will help him toward a richer, more useful, and happier lite. Seniors study HProblems of American Life to understand the basic structure and processes Which constitute our political, economic, and social system. This course treats of the values expressed in our institutions and constantly Challenges the student with the maxim, HPoli- tics without history has no roots. Chemists of tomorrow learning the secrets of the test tube in our chemistry laboratory. Science and Mathematics and a Liberal Education Biology, physics, pre-flight aeronautics, and chemistry are our school's science courses con- tributing to our liberal education. Biology, a tenth grade course, is the last formal science instruction that many students not going on to college Will secure. Whatever they learn of the scientific spirit and methods of accumulat- ing knowledge is concentrated in this course. The aims of this course are attained in part through study of the work of great biologists- Pasteur, Mendel, Darwin, and Harvey, for i1- lustrationeand in part through individual pro- jects involving field or laboratory work which run parallel with the activity of the classroom. Those students preparing to enter college are urged to take a course in physics or chemistry or in both if they plan advanced work in science and mathematics in college. Our courses in physics and chemistry give a sys tematic presentation of the basic concepts and principles of the physical sciences. These courses aim to supply a broad view of the nature and organization of the physical world and a more mature approach to scientific con- cepts. The impact of the war brought pre-flight aeronautics into our school to stay. This course applies the principles of physics, meteorology and astronomy to flight. Those aspects of mathematics that are re- quired for all students are mastered by the end of the ninth grade. For those students Who do not plan to go to college our school otters the following review courses: commercial arith- metic, shop mathematics, and senior mathe- matics. For the college preparatory student two years of algebra and one of geometry are required subjects. Any student who plans to take college work in science, mathematics, medicine, or engineering is urged to elect trig- onometry and solid geometry as well. These students are the ones Who have better than average aptitudes in mathematics. Our good students are urged to study higher mathematics tor the truly liberalizing effect these subjects have on their education. Thirteen This is the throbbing heart of our school. Here you see it in action. The School Library and a Liberal Education Yes, the library is the heart of our school. Furthermore, our principal believes our library should be the center of school life, and the most potent single agency in the school for promoting the continuance of education after school days are over. While some high school libraries are chiefly c1 storeroom for books, ours is on attractive and spacious workroom for students, housing our 4500 books. The room, decorated in or soft shade of green, can easily accommodate seventy students. On the walls of this light and airy room are three beautiful landscape paintings of picturesque Monroe County. One of these paintings is by the late Cullen Yates, N. A., and is valued at several thousand dol- lars. The school is indebted to Dr. Walter Angle, our friendly school physician, for this beautiful work of art. The other two attractive paintings were donated by Mrs. Agnes Dyer from the work of her deceased husband, H. W. Dyer. Mrs. Dyer has two daughters who are Fourteen graduates of our school, Florence of the class of '36 and Agnes of the class of '41. in addition to being a source of reference material for courses in English and history, our library is o: training school for proper methods of using library odds in looking up 0: topic. It is also a room for joyous voluntary reading. Here, the student has Ct chance to browse otmong good books omd magazines of all kinds. Our library functions as CI genuine service unit. It supplies materials for developing and ex- panding interests. Through its reference tools, indexes, bibliographies, omd catalogues, the realms of knowledge may be explored. The library, under the supervision of Mrs. Frederick Shoemaker, cooperates at all times with the other faculty members in helping students learn to use books and libraries, to find infor- mation, and to study. By its bulletins, exhibits, posters, and atmosphere, the library teaches informally. By its introduction to books, it suggests the lifetime use of reading to further any interest. Richard Herming, class president, receives his diploma from School Director Harry L Sutton While LQVerne Hirt and Ann Mertens await the cherished moment.

STURDEVANT Tzc'rulyfi'r' Senior Class History Recalling our first high school days, we, the shining seniors, can notice much progress in our lives. On September 7, 1943, when we first entered by the side door, we were creatures of the lowest rank with no intellect whatsoever. Amid the tumult and confusion of new books, teachers, classrooms, and associates, we chose the following class officers With much care and enthusiasm: Robert Sacher, president; Neil Koppenhaver, vice president; Freda Coffman, secretary; and Richard Henning, treasurer. All too soon came the dreaded week of ini- tiation. We were duly humiliated and pun- ished for our atrocious crimes and, finally, after a night of frolic and delight for our upperclass- men, we were taken into the fold by the ever- loving seniors. One of the outstanding features of our sopho- more year was the Hobo Dance. It was an exclusive affair, consisting only of tramps and bums. The following September, we resumed our studies and activities with renewed vigor and ambition. Once again we were proud of our choice of officers. They were Robert Sacher, president; Graydon Nevil, vice president; Freda Coffman, secretary; Todd Maguire, treasurer. Our UIunior Prom climaxed this fruitful year. The Iunior High School auditorium was decorated with strands of crepe paper and mul- ticolored balloons. The latter were suspended from the ceiling, high over the dance floor. Our charming girls were attired in semi-formals, and even with the scarcity of males many of the girls came with escorts. The number of men attired in military uniforms who attended this affair gave it a color that will ever remain in our memories. One of the many things we are proud of is the fact that so many of our members are ath- letically inclined. The success of our basket- ball team was due, in part, to Harold Staples, Richard Henning, and William Quinlan, Who played first string during their junior year. As seniors, we returned to school with an Twcn ty-siI assurance gained from our newly acquired dignity and intelligence. Being stern over- seers, we recalled our own initiation and duly punished our extremely troublesome sophs. Our class officers were chosen with the same care given this matter in other years. This time we elected Richard Henning, president; Gray- don Nevil, vice president; Ann Mertens, secre- tary; and Thelma Anthony, treasurer. Christmas brought an increase to our treas- ury by the sale of Christmas cards. A Wash- ington trip and yearbook were planned with the hope that more money could be raised. Our senior play was the hit of the ages. Miss Finelli deserves much credit for overcoming the many obstacles of a director, and producing such a success. As the close of this year approaches and this book goes to press, we are enthralled with plans for our Washington trip and our Com- mencement activities. The former event is to take place on May 20, 21, 22 and 23. The bus trip to Harrisburg and Washington, the splen- did hotel accommodations in the Capital, and the numerous educational and social events in our itinerary should prove to be more ene joyable than our fondest dreams. Our Com- mencement activities will begin with Bacca- laureate exercises on Sunday, June 2. On Wednesday, June 5, the class has planned a picnic and dinner dance. The grand climax of these activities is scheduled for Thursday even- ing, Iune 6, when Commencement is to be held.

The shy, intimidated sophomores of last year, to whom the threat of initiation was an ever-present thought, are now the efficient and exceedingly capable juniors, that group upon whom the sophisticated sen- iors depend and to whom this year's shy, timid, and questioning sophomores look for help, ads vice and guidance. The Junior Class, early in the tall, realizing the responsibilities to be placed upon its shoul- ders, met and elected as its class officers: president, Charles Merring; vice president, Brian LeVerrier; secretary, Betty Heiss; treas- urer, Martin Byrer. These officers served in a most excellent manner as evidenced by the plans for our Iunior Prom which was held May 10. It would be impossible to mention individ- ually the merits of the members of our class. We rate high scholastically for you will find in every marking period we were well repre- sented on the honor roll. For the past two years Harriet May, one of the members of our class, won second place in the G. A. Dunning Memorial Oratorical Contest. The juniors have contributed a large number of members to both the football and basketball teams; and we feel no timidity in prophesying that next year these Sophomore W, is a day which will long be remem ered by the members of the class of 1948. It was the day when we, as sopho- mores, entered into the lite and activities of the East Stroudsburg High School. This was ac- complished by accustoming ourselves to a new buirlgiing, new teachers and schoolmates, and the inconvenient side door. But we were not fully established in our new environment until we were duly initiated by the beloved and cherished seniors, who be- stowed on us three days of hilarious disaster with bewildering consequences, during which time, pails umbrellas, and excessive makeup found a definite use with each one of us. This turmroil was brought to a close by a public pere- formance on Friday evening, Oct. 10, when we were properly punished for our misbehavior and discourteous attitude during the week of initiation by the lenient and forgiving seniors. After this, we were accepted as full-fledged high school students. At the beginning of the school year, we elected and chose as our class officers: presi- Thirty athletes, with the help of the underclassmen, will bring many victories to Eastburg High School. The musical ability of our members is well indicated by the large number active in both the band and the mixed chorus. This year for the first time a senior Tri-Hi-Y, as well as a Iunior Historical Society, has been organ- ized in our high school. A large percentage of the membership of both of these clubs is from our class; in addition, several of our classmates are serving in places of responsibility in these organizations. In fact, there is no activity of our school that does not list juniors among its most active membership. The history of any of the classes in high5 school at the present would not be complete without mentioning the proposed Memorial Stadium for which funds are being solicited. The juniors have shown their interest and en- thusiasm in the project by making a generous pledge. The members of the Iunior Class realize that their enviable record of achievements would have been impossible had it not been for the patient guidance and help given them by their class adviser, Mrs. Evelyn Davies Shatter, with whom next year they feel no hesitancy in pro- phesying even greater achievements. Class History dent, Glenn Fleming; vice president, Edwin Hostetter; secretary, Hazel Bush; treasurer, Stanley VVoolbert. These officers have satis- factorily represented us throughout the school term. With the aid and assistance of these officers, the class accomplished much. Throughout the year, the members of the sophomore class have zealously participated in nearly all of the school clubs and activities. A large number of the students are active in the band and the newly formed mixed chorus. The Library Club and the Tri-HieY are also two other organizations in which the girls of the class are particularly interested. Furthermore, many of the boys have willingly contributed to the success and achievements of the school football and basketball teams. At each six week marking period, the class has been very well represented on the honor roll. The class of 1948 realizes that it owes all of its primary success in the East Stroudsburg Senior High School to Miss Ruth Black and her untiring efforts to assist the new class in all of its undertakings. , Left top: Religion as symbolized by the entrance to one of our beautiful churches Right top: Government as portrayed by Police Chief Swink and the Municipal Building.

Our Legislators Student self-government in the East Strouds- burg Senior High School is centered in the Student Council which meets every other Mon- day afternoon during the activity period. Pat- terned after our national. state, a'1d local gov- ernments this body regulates student activities and promotes a better school environment. Under the supervision of our principal, Ralph Burrows, the council members were elected by their respective homerooms, and the inaugural meeting was held. At this meeting the council elected otticers to serve the group for the pres- ent school year Since being an officer in the council is one of the highest honors that can be conferred on one of our students, the elec- tion proved to be keenly contested. On the first ballot for president, Ann Mertens and Rich- ard Henning had the same number of votes. On the second ballot, the office went to Richard Henning. According to the school's constitu- tion the president of the council must be a 771 I'rIy-IZC'O senior; the vice president, a junior; the secre- tary, a sophomore; and the treasurer, one of the three. Each is elected accordingly. Brian LeVerrier was elected to the office of vice president; Glenn Fleming, to the secretaryship; and Ann Mertens, to the treasurer's post. Richard Henning presided at the next meet- ing, at which time the council settled down for its first business session. Old business remain- ing from the preceding year was taken care of, and a limited quantity of new business was brought forth. On every other Monday the council members became a familiar sight in the library discussing student problems. The council sponsors dances, movies, assem- blies, and clubs. Each year it contributes in whole or in part to gifts that make a lasting contribution to the life of the school. The movie screen, the amplifying system, the service flag, and the belts, badges and letter awards of the safety patrol are projects of this organization. p First row, left to right: Paul Strunk, Forrest Marsh, Daniel Eppley.

Special meetings of the council may also be called for any nec- essary occasions by the president, twenty-four hours' notice having been given by the secre- tary. Carl T. Secor, supervising principal, is co-pilot of the outfit and performs the necessary duties of a vice president.

Our school is C: happy school largely because ninety-nine per cent 01r our pupils elect music. Moreover, Ct fourth of our student body has received so much enjoyment from vocal music that it has joined the school's mixed chorus. As a result the pupils in this group have three periods per week for the development of beauty and fel- lowship through the medium of song. This is the first year of existence for this or- ganization. Organized by Miss Marguerite Crammer, supervisor of vocal music, and encour- aged by our principal, Ralph O. Burrows, as Ct haven for girls and boys who like to sing, this group has met with phenomenal success. The chorus made its first public appearance at the choral concert sponsored by the school on Armistice Day. Appearing on the program With the county's many splendid choruses of mature singers, it made ct tremendous hit. The second public performance of this group took place at the Rotary Club's Christmas meeting at the Penn-Stroud Hotel. The Rotar- icxns were most enthusiastic in their praise for the group's beauty of tone and power of ex- pression. T The chorus was heard in sacred numbers at the Methodist Church and at our Christmas and Easter prgrams. In addition to these per- formances the group will contribute much to the success of Music Week and Commence- ment.

Champions The lights are dimmed; the curtains are slow- ly opened. The night is April 12; the occasion is the annual concert of the East Stroudsburg High School Band. The brilliance and color of the uniforms of the young players dazzle one's eyes. The building vibrates from the thunder- ous applause as Mr. Clement Wiedinmyer, re- turned G. 1., takes his place on the direclor's podium. From the down beat of Mr. Wiedinmyer's able baton in the opening number to the echo of the last chord in Mr. Weingartner's part of the program, the appreciative audience reacts enthusiastically to the band's selections which range all the way from Chopin to Sousa. Even the Hterrible terrific trombones make a hit in the novelty number HShe'lI Be Coming Around the Mountain. By now you should know that East Stroudsburg is proud of its state champion symphonic band, an honor this organization has won twice out of the last three years of competition. While our capable Mr. Wiedinmyer was serving with Uncle Sam's navy, Mr. Andrew Weingartner acted as our band leader. East Stroudsburg is, indeed, fortunate in having the services of such an able musician. Mr. Wein- garlner, you will recall, was hand-picked by the late steel magnate, Charles Schwab, to or- ganize and conduct the famous Bethlehem Steel Company Band, the largest and best in- dustrial band in America. During Mr. W iedinmyer's stay with the ad- mirals, Mr. Walter Lane gave insrumental les- sons to our embryo musicians. Mr. Lane was well suited for this work for he has a wide musical background, part of which was acquir- ed as euphonium soloist with Arthur Prior's and Patrick Conway's Bands. The school's assemblies, football, and bas- ketball activities were dressed up by Wiedin- myer's wizards, who rehearse as a class five times a week on school time. This scheduling idea, by the way, was Mr. Burrows' lasting contribution to the success of band music in our schools. Since its origin, the band has been honored by many distinguished guest conductors and assisting artists. Among these were Guiseppi Creatore, Captain Taylor Branson, R. F. Gold- man, Frank Simon, Dr. H. S. Howard, Gloria Vanda, Dorothy Krauss, Robert Isle, and Robert Stuart. In addition to the purchase of the Memorial Hammond Electric Organ and to the playing of concerts in neighboring schools, our band sponsors annually during Music Week an All- Monroe County Band Concert. This project is directed by Mr. Andrew Weingartner. TIII'I'Iy-scvcu Top picture, seated, left to right: Carolyn Toewe, Elfrieda Winkels.

For two years now our pupils have recited and studied to the soothing strains of soft organ music Which emanates from the Hammond Electric Memorial Organ located in our auditorium. This organ, you Will recall, is a gift to our school from our band and has been dedicated as C: living memorial to the boys and girls from East Stroudsburg who served our country in World War II. On February 5, our young organists held their first recital. At this musicale local ctd- T11 z'rfy-ciglzl mirers of organ music heard them play these selections: HRomcmce, HAve Maria, HReverie, Andante Cantabile, Choralef' iiAndante Religioso, Beethovenis Largof and March of the Toys. Mr. Ernest Michelfelder is the talented teach- er of the organ. He is a graduate of our school and of the Ithaca Conservatory of Music. Mr. Michelfelder points out with pride that East Stroudsburg High School is one of the few high schools in the nation that offers organ instruc- tion as part of the regular program of studies.

The time is evening; the date is March 1; the scene is the school gymnasium; the event, the annual square dance of the local chapter of the Future Farmers of America. It you were one of the many students who joined in the fun at this affair, you know from first-hand informa- tion that this group of young scientific farmers can do things with a bang! Reorganized in December, 1945, under the able supervision of Samuel T. Davey, ex- Marine lieutenant and newly appointed agri- culture instructor in our school, the East Stroudsburg chapter of the Future Farmers of America began proceedings with a member- ship of twenty-two. In a hotly contested elec- tion campaign, Charles Clapper, local town boy who made good with the farmers, rushed from the bull pen as president; Charles Heeter, as vice president; Harold Gorman, as secre- tary; Glenn Learn, as treasurer; Iohn Detrick, as reporter; and Alfred Arnst emerged as the fiver faithful growling and snarling Hwatch og. The young people belonging to the Future Forty Farmers of America believe their organization exists to accomplish the following things: tit to develop competent and aggressive rural and agricultural progress; Qt to strengthen the confidence of the farm boy in himself and his work; tSt to create more interest in the in- telligent choice of farming occupations; VD to promote scholarship; and tSt to improve the rural home and its surroundings. In addition to the sponsoring of social events such as the one mentioned at the beginning of this article, the local chapter of the Future Farmers of America plans a trip to Penn State College of Agriculture, as well as many local excursions, tor the purpose of showing the members how things are done at first class farms. With the advent of spring weather the members can be seen with pruning hooks wending their way through the orchards on the school's Maplehurst property. Although the story persists that Robert Crane cut down a tree while pruning it, all members of the club agree that you can learn best by doing. At the present time the boys are busily engaged in remodeling the large barn that stands just back of where the Maplehurst Inn stood.

No need to be alarmed if you hear this while walking through our school; it's only the Iunior Rifle Club in action on their rifle range. Closely associated with the National Rifle Association in Washington, D. C., this club is kept accurately informed on all the latest de- velopments on safe and proper handling of firearms. Organized in 1932 and attaining an average membership of twenty, the club meets approxi- mately one day CI week, usually Wednesday, for a period of two to three hours of target practice and proper instruction. The club boasts the presence of several HAnnie Oak- leys, and many or boy has taken c1 backseat for these sharpshooting lassies. The range underneath the grade school building is or standard titty-toot indoor range. It is the scene of many cm enjoyable evening with the fellas cmd ugals shooting away to their hearts' content. During these shooting ttsprees, however, proper instruction is admin- istered by Mr. Oliver Morgan, the club's ctd- viser. This instruction includes the following points: Hi the proper method of breathing; tZi the ability to improve scoring on targets: CD the use of gun slings and adjustments of sights; Mt nomenclature of guns; and t5i the proper method of firing rifles in kneeling, prone, sitting and standing positions. At the present time the club is working on the junior qualifications as set up by the NCI- tionczl Rifle Association. These qualifications are pro-marksmcm, marksman, marksman first class, expert rifleman, distinguished riflemcm and sharpshooter. Each member receives diplomas, and medals, and bars to signify to the qualifications Which he or she has been successful in complying with. Members, With the qualifications of a distinguished rifleman upon reaching their eighteenth birthday, are also awarded their first year's membership in the senior division of the national Rifle Asso- ciation. Between earning the sharpshooter's medal and the expert rifiemcm's medal, there are nine bars which are attached to the sharpshooter's medal. The first tour bars are qualified in the prone position, the next three sitting, the next two kneeling, and the last set, for the ex- pert ritleman's medal, are qualified for stand- mg.

Absentees: Gladys Smith and Elsie Yetter. Creators of La Torche This year Ann Mertens' hair nearly turned gray. Why? Because she was editor-in-chief of the yearbook staff. Although Ann was ably assisted by Richard Henning, she had more than enough work to do. Starting at the be- ginnng of the term, she spent many hours pre- paring work for her staft. To be sure, it was just the start. Work began to pile up, and the staff, as all of them do, closed their eyes to the pressing problems of senior panels . . . class histories . . . left bleed . . . center bleed . . . cover deign . . . sport pictures . . . write-ups . . . group pictures . . . theme . . . dummy . . . advertisements . . . patrons . . . engraver's and printer's deadlines. But, alas, February arriv- ed, and the editor-in-chief awoke. Everyone hustled, skipped classes, and stayed awake nights finishing their yearbook assignments. Slowly the members of the staff completed their Write-ups and handed them to Ann with sighs Of relief and never agains. The business statt, headed by Nancy Wy- ckoft and supervised by Mrs. Charles B. Schal- ler, worked diligently and efficiently in plan- ning the financial end of the book. This com- mittee pestered merchants, industrialists, and other ad prospects, and the money came tumbling in slowly but surely. Forty-two The capable editors decided on the cover and pictures as a beginning of their work. Then came the tedious work of organizing the book. The staff could be found almost any night after dinner struggling with the dummy for this year's edition of 'tLa Torche. However, everything was kept together and working smoothly by our friendly and enthu- siastic adviser. Yes, you've already guessed his identity. It was Mr. Burrows, our principal. Many periods were spent by Ann Mertens, Nancy Wyckotf, Richard Henning, and other members of the staff in ironing out rough spots in the copy. Since a yearbook is in the making from September to May, we marveled many times at our adviser's never-ending patience. On Wednesday, November 7, a committee from the staff ventured to Mahanoy City where they were privileged to attend a yearbook dis- trict convention sponsored by the Pennsylvania School Press Association. Ann Mertens, Nancy Wyckoft, and Richard Henning, accompanied by Mr. Burrows, gained much valuable infor- mation from the group discussions which re- volved about the Yearbook Panel, the ttEs- sentials of a Good Yearbook, and the HClinic on Advertising.

Marchers of Merit Since everyone loves a parade, the girls of our high school have made competition keen for this high-stepping and well-drilled organ- ization of athletically-minded girls. The Drill Team was first organized in the fall of 1939 at the request of a group of high school girls Who wished to form a marching team or club. Miss Katherine Pontius, who was then supervisor of physical education in our school, organized the girls and helped them design attractive uniforms. The team gave several performances that year at high school basketball games. With the advent of the school year 194U-'41, the team, under the direction of William Moor- head, supervisor of the student teachers in physical education, was provided with uni- iorms; membership was put on a competitive basis; and a schedule of six performances was completed. The Athletic Council made a sub- stantial appropriation toward the cost of the uniforms, and officially recognized the drill team as a varsity activity for girls and voted varsity letters for participation. Limited to twenty-five participants in any one drill, the squad, over a period of six years, has averaged thirty girls each year. Since its in- ception, one hundred and seventy-eight girls have come out for the team; seventy-eight var- Ill sity 'E s have been awarded for the first year of participation, and forty-one gold pins have been awarded for three or more years' mem- bership. With the formation of a girls' varsity gym team this year, the tumbling and baton twirl- ing included, the drill team became an integral part of that organization. The captain of the team this year, Audrey Helms, also captained the drill team at Iunior High School for one year and has been a mem- ber of the Senior High School team for three years. The coaching of the team each year has been the responsibility of student teachers from the college. The teachers in charge this year are the Misses Iean Deobold and lean Harri- gan. Music for both practices and perform- ances has been furnished by Miss Phyllis Angelone and Mr. Michael Cambria, both of the college. The team has made fifteen appearances, including basketball games at both the high school and college, before local associations and societies and at assemblies at Barrett Township and Pocono Township schools. The high school band has contributed much to the team by playing for it on five ditierent occasions. Forty-three NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETYeFirst row, left to right: Ann Mertens, president; LaVerne Hirt, Harriett May, Mari- lyn Michael, Helen Ininger, secretary-treasurer. Second row: LeRoy Whitmore, Maurice Miller, Brian LeVerrier, vice president; Richard Primrose, Ernest Gross, Miss Dolores Lesoine, adviser. People of Prominence Membership to the National Honor Society is the highest achievement any student can re- ceive in high school. The members are chosen from the junior and the senior classes for their character, scholarship, leadership, and service to the school. On the afternoon of March 25, a solemn in- stallation ceremony was conducted in the school auditorium by this organization. The members in their long black robes entered slowly and filled the assembled pupils with awe. This was a great day in the lives of our honor students for they were formally installed as full-tledged members. The advisers to the society are rotated each year among the faculty members who are members of this organizaton. This year the group was guided by Miss Dolores Lesoine. Sentinels of Safety Since every town has its police force, our school has its safety patrol. Braving snow, wind, sleet, and rain, they conduct the school children safely across the street. Early in the morning the stirring bugle notes of itTo the Colors announce that these sturdy lads are on the job raising the flag. Student oftenders of any of the patrol's traffic regulations are swiftly apprehended and brought to trial. If they are found guilty, a suitable sentence is imposed on them. A captain, a lieutenant, and five patrolmen compose this organization This year the mem- bers of the patrol elected Raymond Shamp as captain and Glenn Rarick as lieutenant. This group of willing boys has served faithfully and efficiently both the grade school pupils as well as the young people of the high school.

Librarians All ttWhere's the new Life? How do I find Shakespeare? Where's the librarian? Why the librarian gets gray! These are Ct few of the minor demands filled by Mrs. Fred- erick Shoemaker and her assistant staff of stu- dent librarians. Besides keeping our excellent catalogue system up to date, she is constantly replenishing the supply of reference and read- ing material for the never-ending curiosity of the ambitious student body. The large bulletin board on the left side of the library brings forth some new genius each week, thus showing the tireless effort displayed by the student librarians. These are the villains who hound you continually for overdue books. Speech Specialists With the revival of the Pennsylvania Forensic and Music League this spring, the pupils in our school who were interested in speech activities were invited to join the Forensic Club by Mrs. Kathleen Butz and Miss Dolores Lesoinef Much interest was manifested in this club for twenty pupils accepted the invitation. - Members of the club concentrated on original orations, declamations, Shakespearean read- ings, and poetry reading. When the club held eliminations the following pupils were selected as entries in the Monroe County Forensic Con- test: Carolyn Toewe, original oration; Charles Merring, declamation; Betty Heiss, poetry read- ing,- cmd Dorothy Pine, Shakespearean reading.

High Steppers Organized in 1943, the Baton Club, until this year, has functioned administratively CIS CI part of the band. In the ectrly pctrt of last fall, the activities of the club were transferred to the de- partment of health education under the direc- tion of Mr. William Moorhead. Following this transfer the club activities have been coordinat- ed with the program of after-school activities, which heretofore included the drill team, the acrobatic team and the girls basketball team. Since its beginning, the team has been under the able leadership of Betty Fish, the band mctjorette, to Whom great credit is due for the present excellence of its performances. The schedule for the current year calls for twelve indoor performances, in addition to sev- eral appearances With the band in parades and other similar occasions. The captain of the team is Ianet Snyder. Marvels of the Ma'l's The East Stroudsburg High School has or- ganized a new varsity activity this year for girls chosen because of their enthusiasm, in- terest and outstanding ctbility in gymnastics. lane Shatter was chosen captain of the group. Under the leadership of Mr. Moorhead the Acrobatic Team has made remarkable progress ean evidence of this being that during this year they have given twelve performances be- fore different groups and organizations. The interest and achievements of this newly organized group promise in the future C: group in which it will not be necessary to limit the membership to CI maximum of eight; or fact, which will enable this activity to be placed on a more competitive basis.

Molders of Morale East'burg! East'burgl on to Victory! Does this familiar cheer bring back pleasant mem- ories of chilly fall days, of band music, of purple clad gridiron warriors limbering up before the crowded stands, of warm half-cooked hot dogs, of tepid soda-pop, of much in demand mustard spattered blankets, of milling humanity, eager to out ofticiate the referee? Of course, it does! It means to Americansefootballl At the same time if you turn back your meme ory to the past winter, you can recall an ex- cited and breathless crowd, sitting fast to the edge of the bleacher seats, watching one of our basketball players shoot the ball at our basket. You have guessed it! The score is knotted with but two seconds remaining. As the ball circles dizzily around the rim and then ambles through, the crowd clears its collective throat with a mighty roar. The game is ours. Of course you remember all these things. You remember the team, the noise, the wea- ther, the referees, the coaches, the crowds, your ups and your downs. However, 1111 bet you never once thought of your cheerleaders. Per- haps you've never realized it, but they play a large part in the athletic achievement of a school. They are the group charged with the responsibility of keeping school spirit at fever heat for an entire school year. If you think that is not a big order, try it sometime. At the start of our football season the school's only veteran cheerleaders were Audrey Decker and Gloria Caramella. Since the usual squad consists of six members, it was the responsi- bility of these two girls to train an entirely new group of cheerleaders. Perhaps you can re- member the September days When all these sprightly young ladies were creaking about school, looking like a school girl's version of uGravel Gertie. Since every bone in their bodies ached, Itm told their journeys up and down the stairs were quite filled with torture. Despite their misery they pulled through, and tour girls were chosen to complete the squad; three being sophomores, Adele Helms, Lois Hamer, and Ann LaBar, and the fourth or junior, Louise Prata. When Louise dropped out, Betty Fish took her place, and Rollin White was added as the seventh member of the squad.

However, the pace set by Harold Staples, Russell Transue, Carl Corby, Herman Smeitz, Peter Budicker, Elwood Ace, Patrick Murphy, Richard Verwey, George Caramella, and Richard Evans of the team of '44 was too fast for our gridiron representatives of 1945. Head Coach Lewis Hastie and Assistant Coaches Walter Stem and Donald Nelson start- ed the season with but six lettermen. These boys were Richard Henning, Angelo Dellaria, tco-captainsi, Charles Booth, Daniel Eppley, linemen; and Peter Miller and Neil Koppen- haver, backs. The team started practice in August and seemed to be rounding into shape in good style for the opening games. However, the superior experience and ability of our opponents plus the sickness and injuries which Ndogged the team soon took their toll for our boys didn't win a game. By playing inspired football during the first half of our opening game against Bangor, tthe present champions of the Lehigh-Northampton Forfy-cz'ght Leaguei, Captain Henning and his boys held our powerful opponents scoreless. The second half, however, found Bangor's power and drive on the ascendency, and we were forced to bow 19-0. The Indians from Lehighton were our second opponents and outcharged and out- scored us by the score of 14-0. In the third game of the season our eleven journeyed to Pen Argyl where the boys in green Hskirted our ends and Nknited through our line for a 19-0 win. Wilson, always rugged and well- drilled, was victor in our next game by the one- sided score of 40-0. Next our purple and White clad boys Visited Copiay where we scored our first and last touchdown of the season. Al- though our boys fought to the bitter end, they came out of the short end of a 13-6 score. The climax to our first full length football season came When we journeyed to Stroudsburg tor the first intorborough football game. Much as our boys desired to win this one, the finesse and power of the Mountaineers was not to be denied for Eastburg was buried under an avalanche of touchdowns to the tune of 42-0. Boys winning letters were Richard Henning, Angelo Dellaria, Raymond LaBarre, Charles Booth, Arthur Bruck, Neil Koppenhaver, Charles Kirk, Daniel Eppley, Paul Strunk, Harry Sutton, William Hudock, William Quinlan, Peter Miller.

Passers of Repute Coached by Walt Stem, our varsity bas- ketball team looked very good at times and at other times mediocre. In spite of Coach Stem's efforts the team remained a hot and llcold combination. As one would expect, this situa- tion produced some dazzling basketball vic- tories, as well as some unexpected losses. The team was built around two veterans from last year's combination, Richard Henning and William Quinlan. Iames Harmon, Harry Sutton, and Raymond Mery composed the re- mainder oi the first five, While Graydon Nevil saw plenty of action in the second half of the league schedule. As the season progressed, demonstrated superior ability in various phases of offensive and defensive play. Bill Quinlan starred in nearly every game, uzip- ping shots through the basket from all parts of the floor. In fact, this red-haired, wiry lad led the Lehigh-Northampton League in scoring, amassing a total of 217 points. On the defense, especially in getting rebounds, Captain uDick Henning was superior. llMort Sutton, our tall, lanky center ,also showed up well on de- fense. In Hsnagging rebounds from our bas- ket liRay Mery proved to be a veritable ball- hound. Iim Harmon's speed and excellent floor work were always a threat to opposing Fifty each player teams. llSkip Nevil excelled in the accuracy of his back court shots, and from his phenom- inal success in this department he proved to be the cause of the downfall of many of our op- ponents' zone defense. Raymond LaBarre, Daniel Eppley, William Hudock, and Iames Owens proved to be dependable and aggres- sive substitutes throughout the season. The highlight of our basketball season was our winning two out of the three games played With our arch rivals, the Mountaineers from across the Iordan. In the first two games of this year's series, our boys emerged with two point triumphs. The third game, the Lion's Benefit Contest, ended with Stroudsburg com- ing from behind to emerge the winner by four points. A post-war feature of this year's schedule was the reappearance of a strong Alumni team. Two games were arranged with these returned veterans, all of whom were former stars for our Alma Mater. This array of bas- ketball talent proved too strong for our high school boys for the Alumni team won the first game 32-18 and the second game 50-32. A fitting close to the season was a benefit game for our Memorial Stadium Fund between the Pocono Mountain League All Stars and our varsity. This game proved to be a strong LeIt, above: Ray Mery, 7, scores on Stroudsburg.
