SENIORS LEAH NORMA O'BAKER Boswell Blondie'a ambition is to be- come a stenographer. Certain- ly she'Il never annoy her boss by chatting the hours away. Al- though quiet and shy, Leah is popular with everyone in school and has participated in most ac- tivities. We'll always remem- ber her as Sunbonnet Sue. STEVE PELESKY .. , Jenners Palooka has the most unique ambition in the class: he and Carmel are going to dig black diamonds. Since the operetta though, even Mr. Soeicher thinks he should go into musi- ca! comedy. ln the meantime, Steve just can't do a thing about the way the girls run after him. BERNARD, G. PYLE ...Boswell B,arneylf' has many friends but none irateuas high as his dog. 'Roller-skating and hunt- ing are his favorite pastime: to be an electric Welder is his am- bition. ROBERT CHESTER ROMES- BURG Boswell Bob likes to come to school late-just in the nick of time. He came to Boswell from Mc- Connellsville High and likes our Student Government plan. The radio, books, and roller skating rinks make life inter- esting for Bob. He'd like to be- come an electrical or mechan- ical engineer. GENE ARLENE SHAFFER Jennerstown Ginnie can be found many evenings at the movies: they're her favorite pastime. Her am- bition is to be a clerk, and her ideal of a companion is Joe. End of quote. SUE SHAFFER ,,,.. Ralphton This popular lass from Ralph- ton says she won't live on 2 farm but may we wonder just a little, Sue? Better known as Susie-Q, Miss Shaffer will probably be a secretary some day, if her dreams come true. F' ' -nz-.mi 1942 RUTH ELAINE OGLINE Stoyestown Rufus likes everything and everybody, just so long as there's no algebra around. She'cl like to be a typist, with long vaca- tions for traveling, and she thinks farmer boys are so nice. CARMEL V. PERIGO. . .Jenners Carm just can't see why there's any objection to as many absences as he would like to have. Pelesky and Perigo are always together in teachers' roll books, in classrooms, on ab- sence slips. They may be some day on a mine payroll. DOROTHY ELLEN ROBB Boswell Pretty Dot is best known for her cartoons in the EagIe. She has lots of artistic abilty 'and would like to become a dress designer. We don't im- agine that you'll be a career woman for too long, Dorothy. EDWARD RUSSEL SHAFFER Boswell Eddie is the proud owner, and operator, of a photographic darkroom and photo processing fequipment. He is an honor student, reserved and quiet, a true friend to those who know him. In spite of his photo- graphic interests, aviation is his real ambition. HELEN F. SHAFFER..Boswell 1'Beth is a pretty black- haired basketball and football fan. We'll take your word for it, Beth, but are you sure your favorite pastime is reading? Seriously, we hope success comes to you in the business world. EDNA JANE SHEELER Jenners Dates and dancing, that's what Punch is made of. She likes to jitter-bug and does it well: thinks Robert is the best of names, and hopes to be a nurse in the not-too-distant fu- ture. , I

1942 CASIMER ANTHONY KUDA- SICK Boswell Kissy is usually the fellow behind the camera. He's prob- ably to blame if you're pictured in the Rex CoIlium in a most embarrasing moment. There are nodoubts as to his success in the photographic world. RALPH EUGENE LAPE Stoyestown Ralph is one of those pathetic bus riders who had to get up in the middel of the night. It's all over now, Ralph. Unless you succeed in becoming a State Patrolman. ALTA FERN LOHR Boswell Al is an honor student with an ambition she'll probably reach, to be a stenographer. Life would be a bowl of cherries for her if she could skate all four seasons, and never have to get up early. BETTY JANE MADIGAN Jenners Jeeps , a senior cheerleader, spends most of her spare time dancing. The rest of the time she seems to be enjoying her- self, too, especially in Study halls. She likes to write let- ters, and hopes to be a private secretary. ALICE V. MELLESKY Jenners Midge is pretty and flirta- tious, says her favorite pastime is making love. Beware, boys. Alice is war-minded these days, expects to drive an ambulance after graduation. We hope she'll never have to. CHARLES NEVIN MILLER Holsopple A gentleman-farmer would Chuck be. He wants to manage a farm but not work on it. He's popular with the girls but won't admit to any favorite companion. SENIORS DONALD W. LAPE. Holsopple Don is a farmer lad with designs along mechanic lines. At the fair he won flrst prize for his baby beef. The best thing about B. H. S., says Don, is the Activity ticket plan. MARY S. LICHVAR .... Boswell Sibby is one of the most ac- tive and best known girls in our class, reliable and friendly, and very capable in everything, es- pecially Art and Business. Both teachers and students will miss Mary next year. JOHN MACENCZAK Jenners Mer is potentially a Navy man altho his passion is driving the car. Wonder how he'Il combine the two. Right now he's contented buddying with Pete Thomas, shooting pool, and ice skating. BETTY JANE MELLEKY Y . Jenners B-B is our Senior class pres- ident, and Treasurer of the Stu- dent Council. Everybody knows Betty, usually seen driving a- round in her Buick. She has dreams of being a Physical Ed teacher: Good Luck, Betty. BETTY JANE MILLER Boswell Bett has lots of artistic ability but she plans to go into commercial work when she graduates. She has been wear- ing a class ring but nobody seems to know its owner. JOHN ERWIN MYERS Boswell Bud is thinking of taking over a certain coal mine, and he'd like to retire at an early age. He is one of Mr. Horner's toughest bone-crushers and is known as Killer to wrestling fans.

1942 JAMES SHOFF ..,.... Ferrellton If Jim's grades in high school are any indication of what success he'lI achieve as an engineer in the future, we'll all be proud to have known him. He says his favorite pastime is sleeping but we're from Mis- souri. FRANCES GRACE SLADEK Boswell Dutch is a funny nickname for a girl who would like to sing some day at the Metropolitan Opera House. Because of your nice smile and those eyes we're with you, Frances, and hope you'Il get there before the silver streaks your hair as it did in the operetta. LUTHER JAMES SPROWLS Boswell Scots says the best thing about B. H. S. is the girls. We never realized he felt that way. We'lI be seein' him soon in an Army Air Corps uniform. Then the girls will really rate. JOSEPH SURACE ..,. Boswell Gabriel and his horn have been very popular with us as material for Asse m bly pro- grams. Many thanks, Gabriel. ARTHUR L. TAIT ,,.... Boswell Judge Tait is an argumen- tative lad, with ideas all his own, his and Balshazer's. Being judge of the Student Court has lowered his shoulders three inches this year. ASA WILSON THOMPSON Jenners Hank is famous among us for his hooky playirg. He and Mr. Arisman know each other very well. He just can't help his weakness for automobiles. SENIORS JOHN SHUBIK ,...... Jenners The Iron Horse knows all the right answers to the wrong question, and vice versa: also the secret of raising his hair on end without being frightened. For further information see Frank Baraniak. ANNA MAUD SMITH Jenners Smitty did have inclinations toward the business world but a ring on her finger may mean that her incilnations h ave changed. CHESTER STAFFY Boswell Jitney has a bad reputation for teasing girls during classes. His ambition is to be an avia- tion mechanic, with time. off for football games. STANLEY S. SZEWCZYK Boswell Chief is a very quiet and studious lad, with plans to en- joy life from the Army's point of view. MARVIN LEE THOMAS , Boswell Lee's friendly hello can always be counted on. His am- bition may bring him back to B. H. S. some day as shop teacher. ETHEL L. THOMPSON Jenners Felix is one of our out- standing art students. She'd like to come back to B. H. S. some day and ta ke Miss O'Hara's place. Lots of luck, Ethel.
