SIENJIOR GLASS of the Hazleton Hiqlw School Huzlelon, Da. -l -7 1 TUREWURD The name JANUS was suggested by Julius Schneider, a member of the class of 1927, and Was chosen because of the significance of the word. JANUS was the Roman god of the Past, the Present, and the Yet-To-Be. 2 CUNTJENTS Decdlieeltienm Terewerd llfeletulllty Classes Urgelnizatiens Athletics Snapshots Cflelrteons Advertisements lin fond Memory With the death of Dr. A. D. Thomas, there was left Within our school World a marked va- cancy. During the nineteen years that he served as superintendent of the Hazleton City Schools, Dr. Thomas endeared himself in the hearts of the people and built up a shining reputation. He began his career in a small one room country school, but despite the fact that he had acquired a teaching position, he gave it up to continue his educa- tion. In 1905 he began to teach in the Hazleton High School. Later he became principal of the school, and had established such a fine record that in 1920 he was elected to the post of superintendent by a unanimous vote. The remainder of his life was spent in organizing the city school system. He worked ceaselessly in his endeavor to keep himself abreast with the new methods of teaching. Not once in the nineteen years did he relax his efforts to bring to the Hazleton City schools all the practices in education which would prove beneficial to the schools and the city as a Whole. It was While he served as superintendent that the Senior High and Grant Street schools Were built, and he Was a leader in bringing about the construction of the Harman Geist Memorial Field. The loss of Dr. Thomas was great, and the results of his brilliant career Will stand as an everlasting symbol of his efforts as he finds the reward of peace and content- ment of which he was so deserving. Onan New Superintendent Elected to the post held by the late Dr. A. D. Thomas, Superintendent Thomas L. Hinkle has served in this capacity since last November. Superintendent Hinkle began teaching in 1922 as principal of the grammar grades of Hazle Township School, and he rose steadily in the teaching ranks. He accepted the position of superintendent and all its responsibilities with a desire to prove to the people that their confidence in him was not misplaced 5 and during the short While he has served as superinten- dent he has more than met the expectations of the people in conducting the affairs of the schools. Superintendent Hinkle has undertaken an enormous task-a task requiring great vision and many hours of hard study, a task which would prove trying to many men, but assisted by a keen foresight, intelligence, and an under- standing of human nature he is set on the bright and eventful road to success. Dedication To you belongs a iineness of character that has Won the respect and admiration of every- one, and an understanding that has made you the friend of every student in the school. In acknowledgement of all this, we dedicate to you, Mr. Senko, the JANUS of 1940. rw Alma Mater Dear old high school we are loyal To the White and Blue, To the loyal friendships formed here, We will e'er be true. We shall always aim to serve Thee, Alma Mater, dear. Keep thy honor bright and shining, And thy records clear. When we leave Thy walls enfolding, Memories so dear, We shall know what priceless treasures Were the hours spent here. Chorus White and Blue, we love Thy banners For Thee we will iight. Thy traditions, manners, customs Ever shall be right. MH Janus You're worn now- Your smooth edges are frayed, But within your covers Sweet memories are laid. You're faded now- The ink has grown blurred But the words that it spoke Are still to be heard. 1 Yes, you speak still- Of days that once I knew Brightened by the friendship Of schoolmates, kind and true. You're treasured still- You're held dear to me For with you I relive The youth I used to be. I've read you through- Close you with a sigh, There's something in my throat, I can't keep my eyes dry. -Ida Mae Curcio Narrow minds think nothing right that is above their own capacity. -Rochefoucald. 10 l E1 1 1 +Lf X SEQ MISS BUCKALEW MISS ALBER MISS BACIIMAN MISS BERGSTRESSER MISS BOYLE MISS CROWE MISS CHAMBERLIN MISS ERNESTINE GROSCII sscnsmnv Mggg ggqwpg MILCAMPANELL PT ACH A DR.S. .

S. and began our last trip together. We hoisted our flag of maroon and white and set sail With Joe Cortez as Captain, Jimmie Connors as First Mate, and Martha Iffert as Second Mate. Our first production aboard ship Was Seeing Double and The Lighthouse Tragedy . It Won the acclaim of everyone and included in its cast, among others, Singer, Maher, Slebodnik, Mhley, and LaRegina. Our second year of sailing was capably guided by Captain Dominic Mar- roneg First Mate, Joe Lazarsky, Second Mate, Miriam Van Dyke, and Deck Oflicer, Minnie Demopulos, This year Resurrection Ezra , a very enjoyable comedy was quite a success. Some of the Nautic cast were: Rossi, Dunn, Lokesak, Schilling, Demopulos, and Antinozzi. To guide us in our last and probably one of our most happy years, We se- lected Joe Andrejco to take the position of Captain, George Cheverko to be our First Mate, Loretta Mhley our Second Mate, and Joe Lazarsky our Deck Of- ficer. To climax our dramatic successes, we produced The Tantrum and The Idlings of the King . The capable casts included: Diefenderfer, Cortez, Greco, Wagner, Maxwell, Karvounis, Iffert, Coitola and other notables. We are now nearing our journey's end when we must disembark from our ship and go ashore to find our place in the World. We know not what the future holds in store for us, but surely a successful class like ours will leave its mark in the Book of Time. 21 Winnie She graduated before her class qq lln loving Memory Shining like an evening star With a bright and steady ray, That led us through the dark of night, But left us for the dayg So shone her sympathetic nature, Which in our hearts remains endeared, It brightened the night of school life At dawn-it disappeared. On the threshold of this dawning, Bravely through morning and noon, We will face life's problems without her, Meeting the dusk too soon. But when evening shadows enshroud us The light of her courage will prevail Like a star that breaks through the darkness To guide us-ere we fail. The peace she brought to others Is hers for eternal time, The angels will cherish and guard her At rest in her heavenly shrine.

Taking her troubles indifferently, she made friends with all who crossed her path. ANNA SEO uAnnn Tiny and athletically inclined, Anna had plenty of useful tal- ent hidden behind an exterior of humor. In her serious moods she could turn out exacting pieces of art. ,I . 1- IRENIQ sZlf:sA1tAK .

It's personality that counts and Jeannie has plenty of it. Her greatest interests are swimming, music and the opposite sex. HUGH SHARPE ..Jay., Blond curly hair, twinkling eyes, and a hearty laugh make Hugh one of the more noticeable persons in our corridors. Not a female in H. H. S. missed sight of Jay. MICHAEL sHAP.wARKo Mike Mike wastes no time on words but saves all his energy for par- ticipation in the various sports in which he is interested, es- pecially football. JOSEPH SHEER Jasch Joe believed in that popular phrase of Love and be loved. And as far as the feminine hearts were concerned, he was an ideal Casaloma-pardon us, we mean Casanova! As an added note he was the leader of Beaver Meadows' popular orchestra. BETTY JEAN SHELHAMER nsaltu We indeed hasten to thank Drums for sending us this val- uable addition to the scholastic portion of the class. ALOYSIUS SHE MAN SKY AKAI!! Just give Al a knapsack and the wide open spaces and you've given him his mightiest desire. He is one of the best hikers in Il. II. S. and has covered a lot of territory. STANLEY SHEMANSKY s4Hundyvx Stan takes great pride in his hair and you never find a strand out of place. With his humor we expect to find him flattering the women as they sit and wait for him to fix their tresses. VINCENT SHENOSKY Shan Tall, blond, and good-looking Shan's chief interest lay in bright shirts and socks. It is no small wonder with that com- bination of good taste and per- sonality that he was the goal for many a feminine effort. NANCY SIDARI KKNan!9 Nan spent most of her time in the movies, but she kept up with her scholastic work and is rated as one of our better stud- ents. CHARLOTTE SIEGEL Sharlie A piece of paper, charcoal and a swish of her hand-presto! you have a picture. She's not only an artist but a member of the Drum and Bugle Corps, the Playmaker and Library Clubs. STEVE SILOCK Aislyil Silence is golden and so is Steve, who has taken this as his motto. His ability to handle a paint brush must have been born in him, and he is also capable of turning out an excellent piece of writing. 69 -3' HELEN SI MKO Koko'l Koko was every bit as original as her nickname, and you must admit that that is going some, for who else has one like that?

Seldom was the Honor Roll minus the name of this lass, and her scores of friends prided themselves up- on knowing her. BARTON SMITH Bart Splash! A rated member of the rated Swimming Team. To his friends he is more familiarly known as Hard to Get . Bart will either be the next editor of Esquire or critic of the Vogue. CLETUS SMITH Smitty Smitty was a favorite among our swimmers and he often came through among the first. His other interests were quite a secret, at least he always said so.

He always put in a dash of humor to spice things. Jr 'L ELIZABETH A. SN YDER Betsy It is a bit confusing to have two Betty Snyder's in one class, but there can't be too much of a good thing. BETTY JANE SNYDER t'Janie An honor student, member of the German Club and of the G. O. C., Betty Jane will best be remembered with gratitude be- cause she knew how to solve those horrible Chemistry prob- lems . WESLEY SNYDER nwesu A genial person was Wesley. His good-humor was never dis- turbed by minor incidents . . . it took an earthquake to rufiie him. JOHN SOBON ntlackn We call upon the gentle Muse of Originality to best help us de- scribe the sort of person John was. The best we can do is to say swell . MICHAEL SOTACK iiMike77 The H man of the hour. Mike was a letter man and one of the building-blocks of our football team. We predict further athletic achievements for this well-dressed, handsome celebrity. ELEANOR SPALLONE III!! One of the few who have had the perseverance to take more Latin than Caesar offered, Eleanor is worthy of a big star in the book of the fates.

The only obstacle is that some times they turn out to be impractical. THOMAS STANZIOLA Professor Tommy Artie Shaw -or Get hot because my feet are cold Stanziola, as he is known to his friends and fans, is the able leader of our swing band. He's a fine musician whose talents . . . well, they speak, or swing, for themselves. DONALD STAUFFENBERG a:D0nsr The best that we can say about Don in regard to French class is that he lends his moral sup- port. Otherwise, he's a grand pal. MARJORIE STAFFENBERG StauHie Many boys have gotten senti- mental over Marjorie, and for good reason. Who else could combine so well charm and per- sonality? 71 ALBERT STEIIEING UAV, Al was the speed l-:ing of the highways. Once he started his car you couldn't see for the dust. There's no fear of him getting a ticket because not even an officer could reach that rate of speed. WALTER STEIN MAN Walt If you want to know anything about politics ask Walt. Being a good student in Social, he has good prospects of a career in this field. EDWARD STETZ Eddie Eddie laughed his way thorugh school and only on rare occa- sions could he be found without a grin on his face. MARIE STETZ f'Stetzie Marie's personality included the ability to carry on an interest- ing conversation. There was never silence in her presence and wit dominated her char- acteristics.

As an ac- tive member of Thespians, an officer of the Drill Corps and an officer in G. O. C. she was ever efficient. Need we say any more? JACK VEET Jackie Witty and always in the thick of things , Jackie won many friends throughout his years in high school. EDWARD VE GLIA uEd,, Another Fred Astaire in our midst-Ed-is always in de- mand on the dance floor. His many friends are an example of his popularity.

MILDRED VILLANELLI Millie She's a sports minded girl and plays basketball like an old veteran. That fact plus a charming personality is more than even we could ask for.

ANTHONY VITRO ffviw' A commercial student to the bitter end, Tony was always ready to defend the honor of his Alma Mater against any op- position. CARL WAGNE R i'King-Kong Karl Never will we forget Carl's joking manner. Even in the most serious of times, he came through with quips that drew the attention of all. CATHERINE WAGNER l:Kittyvx Kitty was an active member of the Girls' Swimming Team, and carefully planned many of its diverting programs. To one of our mermaids we wish a smooth swim in the sea of success. JEAN WAGNER Jeannie Here's what you call a popular damsel loved by all. Jeannie had the most effective way of making her opinions expressive -f especially when she curled up her nose. MARION WAGNER Duchess Ice skating vied with the op- posite sex for Hrst place in sun- ny Marion's affections. Which one won? We're afraid it will have to remain a secret. 75 ROBERT C.

RODNEY WALSER Munchy He's the boy whose chief de- light was tossing slightly damp- ened sponges around the chem- istry lab. EMILY WALTERS Clydie Our Em made herself outstand- ing in the journalistic depart- ment.

As one of the tallest members of the class, Donald will go a long way. BEATRICE WEED KlBee7! Our seemingly studious com- mercial student has interests other than studies.

CALBERT WELLIVER Sparks Cal was a streak of lightning on the basketball court, and his achievements will long be re- membered. The combination of personality and athletic abil- ity made him a well known fig- ure in our corridors.

JEAN WILLIAMS Jeannie Jean's abilities were spread out in many directions during her high school days, much to the gratification of her companions. 77 STIRLING WILLIAMS iiJud!7 Stirling will meet anyone who will challenge his ability to blush.

CATHERINE WREN Wrennie Catherine is the chief piano- player for the French club en- tertainments and is also a staunch member of the Play- makers. CLAIRE WYDOCK Clara Talkative Claire made ccrtain that there was never a dull moment in her company. We are of the opinion that she suc- ceeded. FRANCES WYDOCK Fran Frances is as demure as Claire is chatty, but in her own quiet way is found even more charm- ing by several of the boys in the class. She also displays great skill at dancing. CATHERINE WYNNE Kittie', A success on the business staff of the Mountaineer , we can be certain Kitty will be a suc- cess in the future. If anyone could balance the books, it was s e.

She cannot stay in the background of our minds, with her quite nature that endeared her to all. 1tO13liltT ZULLICK Zeke Bob has won a host of friends because of that combination of wit and humor.

Graduation Exercises The beautiful Harman-Geist Memorial Field was the setting for the com- mencement exercises of the Class of 1940 when for the first time in the history of the Hazleton Senior High School, graduation took place out-of-doors. Sev- eral departures from the usual program were made, chief of which was the sub- stitution of a pageant for the customary commencement address. 'Bhe pageant entitled The Growth of a Nation , was a colorful one depicting the search of the Spirit of a National Ideal for a country in which all men, regardless of race or creed, can live together in ' as brothers. The pageant featured the Ad- v W ' orus, the Concert , and the Drill Corps, and a cast of seniors num approximately one hundred. The valedictorian and salutatorian were the readers for the pageant and the usual addresses of these honor students were a part of the dialogue. 81 Miss High School From a general vote taken, Jean Diefenderfer was selected by the student body as the typical high school girl. Jean has proved herself an asset to the school by her leadership in various organizations. Mr, High School In the same election, Joe Andrejco was chosen as Mr. High School.

No, he isn't in ..... Yes, I'll tell him you called. Good Bye ..... Zelenack, MeKelvey, McNelis, and Company ..... Oh, hello Maisie ..... Sure I'd like to know something . . . . . You don't say! . . . . . Well I always said they'd make a good pair, but gee! who would think after waiting twenty years that they would get married . . . . . Yeah I know. But gee, when they were in school, it looked as if Vinny would ask her the first chance he got. Oh well, strange things do happen. . . . . . Yeah . . . . . Yeah . . . . . Just a minute Maisie . . . . . Zelenack, Mc- Kelvey, McNelis, and Company ..... Just a minute please, I'll connect you . . . . . There's your party . . . . . Maisie, are you there? . . . . . Incidentally did you hear the latest? Oh, I forgot. It just happened here this afternoon so you couldn't have heard about it. Well, anyway, this afternoon Eddie Boyle came into the office and asked to see Mr. Zelenack, you know the big boss. Well, it seems he asked for a loan of ten thousand dollars! Just think of it, ten thousand smackers. Guess what he wants it for ..... no ..... He wants it to build an aeroplane to Hy around the world above the stratospherein. You know, that contest the United States Airline is sponsoring in which the one that wins gets fifty thousand dollars. Well, believe it or not, Zelenack said yes. Well one consolation is the fact that he'll get it back. You heard of the two races Eddie won last week, so there's no doubt in the mind of Zelen- ack that he'll get it back and with interest ..... Sure I remember them ..... What? Twins ..... Well, Jimmy and Betty made a lovely couple when they were in school too. I'll have to ask him for a cigar for my Angelo when he 88 comes in next time ..... No, nothing's new, except Angelo took me to see the Water Follies at the Tri-Palestra, you know the new building with the swim- ming pool and gym in it that they built to accomodate the crowds that always flock to see the swimming races and exhibitions and basketball games. Maisie, you should see it. There are twin stars-Jacqueline Feeley and Lor- raine Jones-leading it. They do a marvelous double act. I'm telling you, the crowd practically went wild over it. Then they each do a single act and then one with the chorus. You should see that chorus, too. I was sur- prised to see so many girls and boys in it that I knew. There was Doris Klotz, Miriam VanDyke, Lillian Walker, Dorothy Fletcher, Butler Gibson, Steve Zenchack, and lots more that I don't think of right now. Oh, by the by, you should see the foursome act there is. Jones, Feeley, Bart Smith and Billy Barager do it. It's really the cats ..... No, I didn't see it ..... Gee, who's leading actor? ..... Who's playing with him? ..... Jean Diefenderfer, Well you don't say. Remember when they played together in David Coperfield? . . . . . I remember someone saying then that Peeps Wagner and Jean Die- fenderfer would end up on the stage ..... Yeah, I heard how they refused that five thousand a week to play in movies and how they refused too. Gee imagine me saying no to publicity like that and especially that many smackeroos ..... Well, maybe your right. I guess they do like stage work best ..... Oh Maisie! Guess who just came in ..... Nope. You'll never guess in a million ages. None other than the President of the United States .... . Yep, Joseph Andrejco. Oh, and there's his wife with him. Remember her? She was Mary Louise Koch. Remember when she was picked as Miss Hazleton? ..... Just a min- ute Maisie ..... Zelenack, McKelvey, McNelis, and Company ..... Just a minute I'll see if he can speak with you. Oh, Mr. President, a call from Washing- ton. The man says it's important. You'll take it? Just one minute please, I'll connect you ..... Zelenack, McKelvey, McNelis, and Company ..... 89 No, I can't connect you. He's in conference ..... Oh, the Mayor ..... Just a minute, Mayor Karvounis, I'll find out if he can speak with you ..... Mr. McKelvey? ..... The Mayor to speak with you ..... Just a minute I'll connect you ..... Zelenack, McKelvey, McNelis and Company ..... No, Mr. Ciotola is not in ..... He and his assistants of the Sales Department have gone to the Conference at Philadelphia for the week. Good Bye ..... Zelen- ack, McKelvey, McNelis, and Company ..... the Art Department ..... Just one moment please ..... Art Department? ..... Is Miss Gicking there? . . . . . Oh, it's you, Miss Gicking. Here's a call for you . . . . . Maisie . . . . . Here I am again, and as I was telling you, the President of the United States is here and believe it or not, I just talked to him ..... Yeah, he had a call from Washington ..... No, I didn't hear what it was about. All I heard was that it was George Cheverko, the head of the National Board of Football and Basketball Rules and Regulations ..... No, I told you I didn't hear what was said 'cause just then the Mayor called ...... Just a minute and I'll try to listen in on them .......... Oh Maisie ..... Guess what. The Com- pany has the contract to design and make the new planes for the government . . . . . Yes, the president came to town to talk it over with the mayor and the company and then left the mayor break the glad news ..... Yeah, I know. Well, one thing, I'll get a bonus. Not that I don't need it. Down in Jones' window is a beautiful silver fox neck piece for only nine ninty-five. Just imag- ine genuine silver fox that cheap. I can't get over it ..... Well, count my chickens ..... I thought it was settled ..... Well, personally, I always said Sis Boyle and Abe Kaufman always made a perfectly lovely couple and when people start spreading propaganda about a divorce, Well, I just told myself, 'Now listen here, Angie, this is not the truth so don't believe it.' Anyway I'm glad they aren't going to ruin a perfectly lovely friendship, just over a new hat she bought ..... Yeah, I heard all about it ..... Well I didn't hear that 90 . . . . . Well if that isn't the limit . . . . . Starting their own newspaper. Re- member the swell MOUNTAINEER they put out when we were in high school . . . . . What! Hired Mareen Greco and Lelia Singer? Well they know what they're doing anyway. They were good newspaperwomen in high school. No doubt they are better by now. I always said Curcio and Walters would end up with a newspaper of their own and it seems I was right ..... Oh, just a minute Maisie ..... Zelenack, McKelvey, McNelis, and Company ..... The treasurer of the firm? Just a moment, I'll connect you ..... Mr. Lazar- sky? ..... Here's a call for you ..... Oh Maisie, what were you saying about Jack Durishin? ..... He's married! Well I never. Who to? ..... You don't know? Gosh, I wonder what she's like. She'll have to be near per- fect, cause remember what a woman hater he was? Hold the line, Maisie. Here comes what seems to be a delegation of some sort ..... Yes, Mr. McNelis is in. Who shall I say is calling please? ..... The Board of School Directors . . . . . Just a minute I'll see if he can see you right away . . . . . Mr. McNelis? . . . . . The Board of School Directors is here to see you . . . . . Yes Sir, I'll send them in ..... You may go right in. It's the first door to the left. Maisie . . . . . Maisie . . . . . Oh those dumb operators . . . . . Oh, there you are. Well, as I was telling you, a delegation just came in and who do you suppose it was? None other than the Board of School Directors ..... Yeah, I know practically all of them. There's Albert Portland, Joseph Cortez, James Dunn, Joseph Ecker, Bruce Burggraf, and James Connor ..... No, none of them recognized me. I guess that's because I dyed my hair and stopped wearing my glasses ..... No, I don't think so. Hey Maisie, take a look at the clock. . . . . . Yeah, 5:10 and I'm still working. I think I'll have to soak the boss time and over time for these ten minutes. Here come the three bosses in fact. Well, good bye. Gee, I wish something would happen. 91 Americofs Scilliufnlltiioini CKLINE ESSAYD Tramp, tramp, tramp. The feet of foreign youth are march- ing forth, blazing the trail for isms and dictatorship! Heavy bayonets making grooves in their weary shoulders, are strapped there for one purpose-to kill. Tramp, tramp, tramp. The feet of American youth are marching forth, holding high the banners of democracy! The life of youth is dependent on government, regardless of type, Whether Fascism, Communism, dictatorship or democ- racy. Government is as vital to youth as a string is to a violin. It is the basis of all life and the success of a nation. This government that is created, must also be maintained, otherwise the efforts and results of centuries of Work will be done in vain. To maintain this government, the people must be educated. Education plays a very important part and must be dealt with as such. We, the American youth, have an oppotunity, an advan- tage that is more desirable than anything a youth can have. Without it he is bound to fall! We have a chance to learn our government, While European youths are learning to take orders from their leaders. We are learning ideals for peace and friendliness, While they are learn- ing how to carry guns and to fight. We should take our opportunities now, use them to our best ability and maintain our liberty. Jean Beach. 92 To Wor Tomorrow CKLINE ESSAYJ It is unfortunate that the inexorable march of time, mov- ing relentlessly through the years, should so soon outmode what yesterday seemed to be appropriate and adequate, un- fortunate that the bloody battlefields of Europe should have ramifications which are forcing the American youth to look askance at American principles which have withstood the as- sault of many years. Unfortunate but true. For that war has brought upon us a war on Ism , a giant parasite with its tentacles labeled Nazism , Fascism , Communism , forces, who through the very freedom which has made us the greatest democracy in the world, are enabled to proceed unmolested in their attempts to undermine American unity. And America's youth has heard the call and is going forth to battle-not on bloody battlefields but rather into every American city and home determined that subversive elements shall not capitalize on the pillars of our democracy. Fortunately, the ranks of the American youth army grows by leaps and bounds. Already, like rodents leaving a sinking ship, foreign leaders in our midst are on the runefleeing from the grim attack which is growing like a relentless monster. For America's youth is on the march and as each tentacle is hewn from its body the blood-suckling parasite, Ism , finds itself slipping slowly, slowly back into the sea from whence it came.

To aid them in their journey they selected Anthony Chirico as their head guide, Roy La- Rocco, his assistant, and Mary Petrilla and Peggy McCurley as mapbearers. They also chose to Wear the colors of blue and gray as their class colors. After tedious climbing, the group took a rest period during which time they presented their great hit, Boy Meets Family , starring Shigo, Fatsie, Bove, Fierro, Minnich, Corrado, and others. After a summer of ease and pleasure, the enthusiastic group set out again to continue their journey. This time Roy LaRocco was elevated to head guide, John Sabia, his assistant, and Florence Redelberger and Gail Fegley, map- bearers. This year found them nearly two-thirds of the Way to their destination. Their production even surpassed last year's performance and the future looks bright for these young artists. Class of '41, may you, as seniors, find all the happiness, joy and pleasure that we found here and may you be a success in your search for it.

From it emerged a capacity passenger list of 849 eager students. To guide them on their course, they elected John Apichella, Pilot, John Haspidor as Co-Pilot, and Jane Malkames and Peggy Anderson, Stewardesses. The class painted their plane in the striking colors of red and White to add to the success of their first maneuvers at their new Hangar. This performance was a great undertaking and introduced many promising pilots . After your summer flight may you, the Class of '42, come back to strive, to obtain higher goals.

The Thespians being those who have accomplished enough Work in the stage line to receive recognition for it and the Playmakers, those who have yet to do the required Work. This past year the club took charge ol' the assembly programs through their sponsor, Miss Marion V. Brown, and produced two public plays besides. H320 College Avenue , a murder-comedy taking place at a college sorority dance, Was, as critics would say, Ha smash hit . What a Life , the story about the troublesome Aldrich boy also proved to be a great success. The officers for the past year Were: President, Dominic Marrone. Vice President, Louis LaRegina. Secretary-Treasurer, lda Gundry. llaiiliiceolliiii Debating Qlliuilb The Lincoln Debating Vlub held l'Ul'IIl2tl debates this year with both Kingston and Tamaqua.

The Stage Crew is composed of: Thomas Sabia Michael Tokash Joseph Shuliga Harry Rice Edward Sobon John Marushin Vincent Sauers llll Giiirllsg Uircoutoiriicroill Cllulb Friends, Members, and Classmates, lend me your ears, I am here to praise Oratory, and disclose its secrets. The good that this club does will live after it, Its activities will remain as pleasant memories. Pardon me for becoming so oratorical, but I found the memo book of the Girls' Oratorical Club for the 1939-40 season and after reading it I became in- spired to give a speech. You should see all they did this year. They began back in September by giving an introductory assembly program. I noticed they had quite a few good speakers at their weekly Thursday night meetings. But their fall dance was one of the biggest affairs they had. lt was a Fiesta where they had a fortune teller and booths. At Christmas they had another assembly program which seemed to be enjoyed very much. As I leaf through the book I see they presented many variety programs at their meetings. I wish I could have gone to their Spring Banquet, I heard it was swell! Spring seemed to be a busy time for them. The annual inter-scholastic contest in which eight schools had representatives try to win the cup was very interesting and exciting. It was then that they had another assembly program, to decide who the school orator would be. The picnic topped off the year and proved to be a grand finale. At the end of this little book four of their twelve officers were listed. They are eeee President, Jean Diefenderferg Vice President, Loretta Mhleyg Secretary, Miriam Van Dyke: Treasurer, Frances Razanoskig Faculty Adviser, Miss Jane Fl. Rich. MISS VENERCSO Giiirllsg Qciccllrelttte Clliuilb Girls! Girls! Cadettes tonight. What are Cadettes? Cadettes are Girl Reserves. Y Ve7VlgatAare Girl Reserves?

The midwinter conference was held at Allentown the past year, with eighteen girls from our club representing Hazle- ton. The summer conference is held at a camp. The girls chosen for this con- ference go on a camping trip for two weeks. Our advisers are responsible for the club's success and the good times we enjoyed. These advisers are Miss Esther Alber, Miss Rose M. Veneroso, Mrs. Marvin Will, Miss Anne Parsons, and Mrs. John Brandon.

The word Hi-Y itself' signifies connec- tion ol' the high school with the Y. M C. A. Ili-Y emphasizes high standards ol' C'hristian character. Problems which arise in the high school boy's mind are solved by the numerous speakers who are chosen for their knowledge of these problems and their solutions. llpholding the principles of clean sports, clean speech, clean scholarship, and clean living is the platform of the Hi-Y club. For nearly twenty years Hi-Y has been a recognized service club of the Hazleton Senior High School. The club elects oflicers each semester. This enables the ordinary member to take more active interest in the club. For the first semester the officers were: President David Maue Vice President we--Harry Schmauch Secretary James McGeehan Treasurer Donald Hallman. For the second semester the officers were: President Robert Gebhardt Vice President Paul Kerschner Secretary Albert Hartzel Treasurer David Maue The advisers were Mr Robert L.

Each member is chosen on his character and his interest to improve the school. The club has for its program a three point campaign: better conduct in assemblies, better attendance, better corridor conduct. The club has also taken over corridor duty which Was formerly done by the faculty. ln the future this club will be responsible for many more student improve- ments. Officers: President Jack Durishin. Secretary-Treasurer Miriam VanDyke. 114 Junior Red Cross Oircgoiniiznutiion Ofiicers: President-Milton Miller Vice-PresidentsRobert Wagner Secretarye Marie Keegan Secretary Pro Tempore-Mary McElheney TreasurersMelvin Levine The purpose of our club is service. During the Junior Red Cross drive we collect money from the school children to be used by the Hazleton Junior Red Cross Council to purchase glasses for those unfortunate children needing them. Also, at Christmas time, We make, repair, and distribute toys. Favors are made for disabled World War Veterans as Well as scrapbooks which are distributed to the sick. Members of our organization are sent to the National Red Cross Con- vention, which usually holds its annual meeting in Washington, D. C. 115 lloe Cenciclle Le Cenacle, aujourd' hui, le lundi, a trois heures et demic. The Cenacle, which is the French word for a higher type of club found in France, during its third year has enjoyed a great deal of success. Under the direction of Misses Kirschner and Pengelly, the club assembled bi- weekly and conducted many enjoyable meetings and activities, which included a bake sale, and the annual banquet. The leaders of the Cenacle for this year were: President Dawn Bronson Vice President Jean Diefenderfer SecretaryeeeLoretta Mhley TreasurereFrances Razanoski Reporter wlames McGeehan The purpose of the club is to develop and increase an interest in French life, language, customs, traditions, and historyg to improve the facility in speak- ing French, and to impart in practical use, a French atmosphere, the French learned in the classroom, In order to accomplish this, the meetings were con- ducted in French. It was not until the beginning of March, that the first year French students were admitted. The new members' first program proved their worth. The annual Cenacle banquet in May concluded the year for the present seniors. The ofiicers in handing over their positions wished the new officers and members beaucoup de succes, de bonheur, de bonne chance et au revoir! 116 Ardlioouniccecdl Clhioirus Under the direction of Mr. George P. Schwartz, Jr., the members of the Advanced Chorus presented to the music lovers of Hazleton their annual con- certs and operettas. This year they successfully staged Robert Planquett's operetta, Chimes of Normandy . They appeared frequently before the pub- lic singing the immortal Works of our beloved composers. This organization originated in 1938, and has created such an interest among the students of H. H. S. that is has now become part of our curriculum. It is here that music is made to be heard and enjoyed. 117 Senior Library Cllulb The Senior Library Club offered its facilities to all students Wishing to participate in literary activity.

JAMES CONNOR stock Mon. 127 Sm VINCENT MATYAS T UDENT MGR December 8 Hazleton 45 Shenandoah 22 The Blue and White Quintet made their initial bow by defeating Shenan- doah without much trouble. The Mountaineers were paced by Parnell and Sweeney, while Andrejco and Welliver played beautiful defensive games. Coach McGeehan paraded out a wealth of material in such able substitutes as Smith, Apichella, and Polmounter. December 12 Hazleton 67 Wilkes-Barre, Meyers 13 The Hazleton Mountaineers unleashed an offensive attack that swamped a hapless Wilkes-Barre Meyers team. With the varsity only playing half of the game, the subs again came through with plenty of stuff . Parnell, Welliver, and Cheverko walked off with the scoring honors. December 15 Hazleton 58 Kingston 4 Still lacking competition, the McGeehanites set a new record by holding Kingston to 4 points. Sweeney, Parnell, Cheverko, Apichella, and Andrejco captured the offensive honors. Andrecjo scored his first points of the season and also teamed up with Cheverko to play a bang-up defensive game. December 19 Hazleton 48 Shamokin 30 Playing their last exhibition game before actual Eastern League competi- tion, the proteges of Hughie McGeehan bumped up against a stubborn Shamo- kin quintet. A pleasing factor to note was the manner in which Big George Cheverko flashed his old time form in leading the Mountaineers' offense. January 5 Hazleton 50 Pottsville 15 The charges of the Blue and White made an impressive debut by trounc- ing the Crimson and White of Pottsville in their first League game. Joe And- rejco and Welliver copped the scoring honors while Apichella and Sweeney played magnificent floor games. January 12 Hazleton 29 Allentown 31 A tall, rangy, fast-moving quintet from Allentown penetrated the tight de- fense of the Mountaineers to win a well deserved ball game. This defeat broke a string of 27 straight Blue and White victories in the H. H. S. gym. Andrejco was a thorn in the side of Allentown's offense, while Vinny Parnell and Chever- ko played dazzling floor games. January 16 Hazleton 33 Bethlehem 28 While the proteges of Birney Crum were having a tough time beating Tamaqua, the McGeehanites made an impressive victory by defeating a strong Bethlehem team. The game was purely a defensive battle from start to finish but it showed that the Hazleton Mountaineers were right up in the thick of the pennant fight. 128 January 19 Hazleton 46 Tamaqua 11 The Mountaineers breezed through an easy Tamaqua team with Welliver, Cheverko, and Sweeney at the helm. The most cheering note of the game was the announcement of Easton defeating Allentown, thus putting the Canar- ies in a tie with Hazleton for the first half honors. January 23 Hazleton 46 Easton 28 A capacity crowd was on hand to witness the finale of one of the most glorious athletic careers in the history of Hazleton High School-this was Joey Andrejco's last game. Parnell, Andrejco, Cheverko, and Welliver led the at- tack while Joey Andrejco played a splendid defensive game. January 27 Hazleton 40 Allentown 28 The McGeehanites unloosed a blazing last-quarter rally to clinch the first half Championship of the Eastern Leagues. Little Vinny Parnell and Big George Cheverko paced the Blue and White in that unforgettable last period that brought back fond memories of State Championship days. Smith, Wel- liver, and Steckroth played great ball, while Apichella capably filled the shoes of Joe Andrejco by turning in a splendid floor game. . February 2 Hazleton 55 Pottsville 34 Due to a natural let-down after their sensational Palestra triumph, the Mountaineers were forced to come through with another last half rally to de- feat a rugged Pottsville quintet. Leading by only 2 points at the half, the game was turned into a rout by Parnell, Cheverko, and Sweeney in the last quarter. February 6 Hazleton 31 Williamsport 35 Expecting another easy exhibition victory repeated, the Hazleton dribblers suffered a surprise defeat at the hands of Williamsport. The tall, rangy Bill- porters had an air-tight defense, and an offense that was strange and effective against the Mountaineers. Sweeney and Parnell played standout floor games and at the same time came through with the scoring honors. February 9 Hazleton 41 Allentown 37 A revengeful Blue and White team invaded the Little Palestra to prove that they were the top team in the Eastern League. Billy Smith and Cheverko played flashy offensive games while at the same time Steckroth and Parnell did yeoman work on the defense. Joey Apichella was a proverbial ball-hawk and broke up many of the Allentown plays. February 13 Hazleton 43 Bethlehem 32 The McGeehanites moved another step closer to the Eastern League pen- nant as they defeated a dangerous Bethlehem quintet. Vinny Parnell and Billy Smith went on a scoring spree all of their own while Apichella and Welliver held back the Emerymen's offense. 129 February 16 Hazleton 47 Tamaqua 27 Playing a wild brand of ball, the Mountaineers took the Tams in stride on their rough road to the League Championship. This being the last sched- uled home game it was very appropriate for Welliver, Cheverko, Apichella, and Parnell, the four senior regulars to lead the attack. Joe Apichella played a standout game in all departments. February 20 Hazleton 37 Easton 23 A determined band of Blue and White Basketeers went on to win their fourth Eastern League title with the Red Rovers of Easton as the victims. While the first half was nip and tuck all the way through, the second half was an altogether different story as Cal Welliver went on an individual scoring spree to turn the tide for the Mounts. February 29 Hazleton 50 Williamsport 31 This was the final exhibition game of the season and also as a warm-up game before those trying district play-offs. There was little doubt all through the game as to which was the better team. The Mountaineers broke loose with another famous last period barrage to score another decisive victory. March 5 Hazleton 84 Nuremberg 20 The first play-off test turned out to be a lop-sided victory as the Moun- taineers established a new scoring record. Joey Apichella, Cheverko, and Parnell kept ringing up field goals until Coach McGeehan finally put in a jayvee combination to finish the last quarter. March 9 Hazleton 58 Palmerton 29 At the little Palestra in Allentown, the Mountaineers humbled a hopeful Palmerton team. Although the first quarter was close, the Blue and White came back with a five man attack that set a blistering pace for the remainder March 13 Hazleton 34 Mahanoy City 32 The Mountaineers retained the District 11 Championship by defeating the Maroons in a sensational extra period. By sheer fighting spirit the Blue and White came from behind as Smith tied the score in the final seconds of play. Cal Welliver came through by tossing in the winning field goal after only 38 seconds of the extra period had elapsed. March 16 Hazleton 25 Lower Merion 27 As a sequel to last year, the McGeehanites were again eliminated from the state play-offs by Lower Merion. Before a capacity crowd of 10,000 fans, the Ardmore Aces won in the second extra period, as a substitute forward looped in the deciding field goal. We wish to extend to our champions and our esteemed coach, Hughie McGeehan, along with all his assistants, our deepest regards and best wishes. of the game. 130 Junior Varsity Boslkerlboll Preceding every varsity tilt a flashy Jay-Vee quintet subdued 10 out ol their 15 opponents. Such players as Steckroth, G. Andrejco, Poulmonter, Defluri, Apichella Penn, Hospidor, Doughery, Shenko, Montague, McHugh, Murphy, Antinozzi, Scarcella, Bresnock, Fluri, Keck proved to be material for future varsity teams. Under the tutelage of Coach Venard Fegley, this fast-moving combination beat Bethlehem, Pottsville and Tamaqua twice and dropped two games by very close scores to Allentown. Hazleton 25 ..,,.... ....

ELLIS SHENKO WANDXSHIN Fua.L-sacx 1'AcKx.E E N D 135 On November 23, the curtains came together to end the most magnificent football season ever witnessed in the history of sport events in Hazleton. The Blue and White super eleven won the top position in the Big Fifteen Confer- ence after two successive undefeated seasons. Thousands of followers were on hand at all the games and were thrilled at the inspiring Drill Corps. The Moun- taineers under the leadership of Coaches Stan Oleniczak and Paul Shaw put every team in Pennsylvania in the background as they went on their victori- ous march to the Big Fifteen Trophy. September 15 Hazleton 26 McAdoo 6 Hazleton High opened another brilliant football season by defeating McAdoo under the lights on the newly renovated Geist Memorial Stadium. Andrejco, Apichella, and Che verko were the spearheads of the offensive thrusts. A large gathering of enthusiastic fans was present to witness the first night foot- ball game of Hazleton High's excellent football history. September 22 Hazleton 24 Coal Township 0 After a rather unimpressive showing against McAdoo, the Hazleton jug- gernauts more than redeemed themselves by displaying many beautiful offen- sive and defensive plays before another large crowd. A dazzling 62 yard run by Joey Andrejco topped the evening's offensive plays. On the defense, Dur- ishin, Sotack, and Scatton broke up many of the Coal Township plays. The reserve power showed up like veterans and the team as a whole left you with ideas of another undefeated season. September 29 Hazleton 25 York 12 With smashing line plunges and beautiful broken field running, the Hazle- ton Mountaineers won their first Conference game. Sotack, Durishin, Katin- sky, Plesh, and Steckroth did yeoman work on Hazleton's forward wall and opened many large holes in the White Rose's line runs. Timely blocking by Scatton, Yankowski, and Durishin paved the way for a glorious victory. October 6 Hazleton 31 Freeland 0 A scrappy Freeland team went down to defeat before the crushing power plays of the Blue and White. Dovan and Potzner played standout games for the Whippets, while Cheverko, George Andrejco, and Apichella shared the hon- ors for Hazleton. Durishin and Katinsky starred by ripping the Freeland line to shreds and displaying many vicious tackles. October 14 Hazleton 32 Steelton 0 With flying colors, Hazleton swept through Steelton for their second vic- tory in the Big Fifteen. While Stan Shenko was out of the game because of illness, Bob Sthar turned in a splendid game. The line stopped everything that came their way and Scatton played another beautiful blocking game. Andrejco, Cheverko, and Apichella were again the spearheads of the offense. 136 October 21 Hazleton 33 Lancaster 13 After a thrilling dedicatorial ceremony, the Hazleton Mountaineers proved that they could come from behind as they rolled on to another Conference victory after a rather surprising start by the Lancaster Roses. On the first Hazleton play, George Cheverko galloped behind splendid interference for 80 yards to score the initial touchdown. Apichella, Andrejco, and Yankowski also played standout games, while Sthar, Sotack,' Scatton, and Durishin October 27 Hazleton 33 Nesquehoning 0 Despite unfavorable weather conditions, a loyal crowd of Hazleton fans watched the Mountaineers take Nesquehoning in stride. Cheverko, Yankow- ski, and Apichella paced the Blue and White, while the reserve power saw plenty of action. played defensive ball. November 4 Hazleton 25 Bethlehem 6 This game was undoubtedly the most outstanding of the whole season. After an anxious first quarter, the charges of the Blue and White began to penetrate a powerful forward wall of the Liberty Eleven. Along with a dead- ly passing attack, Cheverko and Andrejco made many magnificent runs with the aid of Durishin, Scatton, and Sotack. November 11 Hazleton 14 Shamokin 6 Due to an inevitable let-down before the all-important Pottsville game, the Mountaineers were held to a close score. The Greyhounds had a stubborn defense and allowed Cheverko and Joey Andrejco only one touchdown each. November 17 Hazleton 21 Pottsville 6 The Hazleton Mountaineers again showed their supremacy over their old rivals before an overflowing crowd of 13,000 fans. Beautiful runs by Che- verko, Andrejco, and Apichella along with some perfectly executed plays called by Scatton, who has shown his power all season as a smart field general, proved them all champions. Grega, Steckroth, Sthar, and Durishin were prominent in the forward wall. November 23 Hazleton 12 West Hazleton 7 The Hazleton High Mountaineers rolled up their 22nd straight victory before another large crowd at the annual Thanksgiving Day classic. This game was the farewell game for such all-time greats as Cheverko, Andrejco, Scatton, Yankowski, Apichella, Durishin, Sthar, Sotack, Katinsky, Plesh, Grega, and Kepping. With this victory, Hazleton climaxed the greatest ses- son in the school's history. We extend our congratulations to Coaches Oleniczak and Shaw, to Faculty Manager, Al Wagner, and to the Champions of the Big Fifteen for the brilliant season made possible through their efforts.

On October 21st, 1939, the stadium was formally dedicated. Dr. Turn- bach, Dr. Fred Seidel, Mr. T. J. Pengelly, Representative Flannery were among those who spoke and Reverend H. Clay Bergstresser gave the invocation. The fact that the skies were slightly overcast failed to dampen the spirit and enthusiasm of the appreciative crowd. Hazleton now has an athletic field to be proud ofea stadium to equal any in the state. 142 C'-Z3 N X ik Ol L, H if e Wir 4x Q xi R xx 5.
