ANITA GORDON Editor-in-Chief V Upening the Season We, the 1952 club of champions, wish to take you in this issue of the Janus around the bases of our home field. It is often realized belatedly that a graduating team is never again brought entirely together after the day of the final game. Physically, it is impossible, but memories may be maintained when strengthened by a Word or a picture. To preserve those moments you treasure and the activities you have shared as classes and club groups, We have recorded them for you in story and pic- tures. We have endeavored to include every phase of school life in some Way, the important as well as the seemingly trivial, in order that there may be com- plete coverage of all that made school one of your outstanding experiences. If, ten years from now, after you have scored your biggest hit, you are glancing through this book, .you remember a long-forgotten friend or chuckle a bit over some amusing incident, we shall have accomplished our purpose. As seniors, we are now ready to enter into the future. We have spent our entire twelve years of elementary and high school preparing for this moment, even as a member of a farm team prepares to enter into the major leagues. Our class Work, the patient efforts of the faculty, the splendid co-operation of the underclassmen, and our own experiences in various clubs and sports have helpedjus to be prepared in every way for this tremendous undertaking. As you read through this book, may all the pleasant and happy times spent during the three years of high school be relived in all their vividness. QWe hope that this will be an ever pleasant source of memories and that as you turn the pages you will recall all the glorious experiences and the people who helped create them.j Although We may never be together as a class, may this yearbook recall all the happy hours of our school life. 4

The Club House of Champions H. H. S. For three years Hazleton High School has served as a club house for our Major League Players, the seniors. Here We Worked planning for the future, relaxed when We had time, and met other team-mates. Our memories of H.H.S. will always be dear to us for it was at the Club House that We practiced hard to Win victories for our Alma Mater. In the past champions have gone forth from H.H.S. 3 this year we hope will be no exception. The training that we have received from our coaches will be invaluable to us in the future. The graduat- ing class, hoping to hit many homeruns in the future, bids farewell to their Club House, H.H.S. 3

Our Late Coach MR. ROCCO ANTINOZZI DIED-APRIL 14, 1951 go Mr. Rocco Antinozzi, our late baseball coach, and assistant basketball coac : As students of H. H. S., We cherish the memory of Mr. Rocco Antinozzi as one of the greatest and finest leaders in the past at H. H. S. ' The death of Mr. Antinozzi, April 14, 1951, at the Hazleton State Hos- pital, came as a profound shock to the faculty and the students of H. H. S. Rex was an outstanding example of the American teaching profession. He not only attained high scholastic honors, but he also inspired and aided his students to reach for the finer things of life through education. Mr. Antinozzi, who graduated from H. H. S. in 1937, was a member of the championship basketball team that year. He continued his education at Franklin and Marshall College and again returned to serve his Alma Mater as a member of the faculty. While at H. H. S. he served as head baseball coach and assistant basketball coach, excelling in both fields. He was instrumental in helping build some of the best teams H. H. S. ever produced. Rex will never be forgotten at H. H. S. and his magnificent personality will always be remembered by us who were fortunate enough to know him. 5
