Johnstown Central Catholic High School - Memories Yearbook (Johnstown, PA)

Text from Pages 1 - 86 of the 1938 volume:

The Annual Publication of the Senior (lass of the Johnstoinn Catholic High School at Johnstown, Pennsylvania FOREWORD “God gave us memories that we might have roses in December.” How grateful should we be for the faculty of mentally reliving the ---------------- events of former days. In this, the thirteenth edition of Memories,” we are endeavouring to set forth those memories that will make us joyfully and even wistfully reminiscent in years to come. We shall cherish anew in life's December, those all-important incidents of our happy, care-free high school days. Let Catholic High School’s train- ing be the solid rock of our career, and if our ideals and morals should ------------------ begin to quake, let us -------------- seek out the solid rock, and cling to it until the earthquake has passed. Let the standards and principles given us by our beloved teachers be our Beacon Light in times of stress, and guide us safely into port. Let the virtues of love, truth, honesty, and loyalty, which have been in- stilled into our hearts, be our guiding star. May the motto of our school, DEO ET PATRIAE, urge us on- ward as we travel the long, weary path of life, so that it may eventu- ally lead us to the eternal bliss of Heaven! REVEREND THOMAS CAWLEY DEDICATION With remembered gratitude, we fondly dedicate this thir- teenth volume of Memories” to our beloved Principal, Father Cawley. For the fifteen years of your consecrated life, the education of the students of Catholic High School has been your absorbing interest. Of the hundreds who have left its doors with the spiritual and mental equipment that will lead them to their Final Good, one of their most distinct memories is the example of your constancy of effort, and your tireless devo- tion to duty in their behalf that can be explained only by the spirit in which you live: Zelus domus tuae comedit me. We, whose graduation year coincides with a definite milestone in your priestly career, are reluctant to leave the immediate circle of your personal guidance, but we go with the com- forting assurance that you will keep us in prayer before His Altar—where there is no farewell. Our wish: “Ad multos annos” at Catholic High. Our prayer: “God bless and keep you—eternally. Printed with permission of the Central Association of the Miraculous Medal OUR PATRONESS AND OUR QUEEN Remember, 0 most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession, was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, 1 fly unto thee, O Virgin of Virgins, my mother; to thee I come, before thee 1 stand, sinful and sorrowful; O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions; but in thy clemency hear and answer me. Amen. PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE . . OU have left the harbor; the ocean is now before you. The voyage you have undertaken will end on the eternal shores. Your boat will dock at two ports—the City of Life and the City of Death. The distance to the City of Death is short, and the sea, calm. To the City of Life, the distance is long, and the sea, often rough. You are bound for the City of Life, but there is no guarantee that you will reach that port. Some set sail for it but lose courage and disembark at the City of Death. Storms will cross your paths; dark clouds will threaten, great waves will roar in anger. But “let not your heart be troubled. Your boat has withstood the attack of numberless storms. She is destined to outride them all because she was not made with hands. Her crew is strictly disciplined and singularly efficient. Her Captain rules not only the boat, but even the waves that carry her. Did He not calm the raging Sea of Galilee with only a word: Be Still ? So have no fears on this score, but fear wisely for yourself. The voyage will be a strenuous one. It will call for great courage and strong deter- mination. You will be compelled to work hard, but never beyond your strength. Be loyal to your Captain. Obey His commands faithfully, even when you do not understand them. Work at your ap- pointed task industriously. Meet apprehension and dis- couragement resolutely and push on courageously to the end. Loyalty, obedience, industry, perseverance—these are the price of your passage. Having paid this price, you will be permitted to disembark at your chosen port. On the dock, your Captain will be waiting with open arms to welcome you. Drawing near, you will observe that His Hands are pierced. Then will your eyes be opened. May God speed you on your journey! May the beautiful Star of the Sea guide you safely to your journey's end! Father Fitzgibbon The Class of '38 wishes to pay tribute to our dear friend and counselor, Father Fitzgibbon, and thank him for the in- numerable kindnesses that he has ad- ministered during our four years at J.C.H.S. Many a dreary day has been brightened by the sight of his smiling face and his irrepressible Irish wit. We all know that his supply of energy is without bounds when he undertakes a dramatic or musical production. We wish him more and more success in his future endeavors. Father O'Leary Because of his quiet and unobtrusive manner, Father O'Leary has gained many loyal and loving friends from the Class of '38. He is our Professor of Religion and goes about his work of reaping souls in a way that is worthy of comment. We know that the reward that comes to those who instruct others unto justice will be his.

DeLuca TRIBUTE TO THE FACULTY The teacher and the scholar trust Their parting feet to separate ways.” As we stand reluctantly where the brook of high school seniorhood and the river of next year meet, we give you the warm thanks of grateful hearts for the guidance you have bestowed upon us throughout our happy years at Catholic High School. With deep regard for your high principles of purity, truth and obedience to the voice of conscience, that “bell of divine casting,” we shall endeavor to go forth and bless the world that needs the hand and heart governed by such noble ideals. You know the joy the sculptor knows. When, plastic to his lightest touch. His clay-wrought model slowly grows To that fine grace desired so much. And we shall never quite forget The voice that called from dream and play, The firm but kindly hand that set Our feet in Learning's pleasant way.” CLASS MOTTO THE TORCH OF TRUTH BURNS HIGH In the cross-country relay torch race of the ancient Greeks, each runner carried a torch, which he would cup with his hands until they were charred. We are the privileged runners in a cross-century relay race. Christ lit the torch and started the race with His Apostles down the centuries. To be athletes of God! What a glorious privilege! Saint Paul said, “I have run my race, and the torch is still burning.” He shielded that torch with more than his fingers; he shielded it with his life. For over nineteen hundred years that fire has been burning, burning at the cost of great sacrifice. All who have distin- guished themselves as runners have suffered; for glory often takes the shape of pain. We are the runners of today; we bear the torch and must pass it on. Today, as never before, does the light of faith need spreading. Today, as never before, must the torch of truth burn high, so high and with glow so bright that it can be seen by all men, even by those of dullest vision. Our words, our deeds, our actions, but most of all, our athlete's spirit of loyalty, enthusiasm, and bravery will radiate this light, pierce the darkness of error, and change hatred into love. Christ has said, Go out now, and be witnesses unto Me.” If courage is to be sustained, the goal must be kept in mind. Even as we fall exhausted at God’s throne, we may claim the prize. Hold high the torch; you did not light its glow; 'Twas given you from other hands, you know. 'Tis only yours to keep it burning bright; Yours to pass on when you no more need light.” CLASS FLOWER THE ROSE That over night a rose could come I one time did believe; For when the fairies live with one. They wilfully deceive. But now I know this perfect thing Under the frozen sod In cold and storm grew patiently Obedient to God. My wonder grows, since knowledge came Old fancies to dismiss; And courage comes. Was not the rose A winter doing this? Nor did it know, the weary while. What color and perfume With this completed loveliness Lay in that earthly tomb. So maybe I, who cannot see What God wills not to show. May, some day, bear a rose for Him It took my life to grow. CLASS COLORS BLUE AND SILVER Our desire to be the Type of the wise who soar, but never roam. True to the kindred points of Heaven and Home led us to choose the BLUE of Loyalty. Those who are familiar with the legend of Roland, some- times called The Right Arm of Charlemagne, will under- stand our choice of SILVER. It is said that Roland possessed a silver shield which shone brightly when he did a noble deed, became dull when he was guilty of a base deed, and when he did an act of heroism, a golden star appeared upon it. As a young man, Roland was zealously impatient to be riding abroad “redressing human wrongs. One day as his regiment was about to enter the field of battle, he was ordered to guard the gate. Although keenly disappointed, because he had anticipated the joy of the fray, he guarded not only the gate but also his feelings, and he conquered them, and when the soldiers rode back, they saw a golden star on his shield He had conquered self, which is more than conquering the enemy.

COLUMBA ”Straight-forward, pLnn-jpofen” Although Dick” has been with us for only two years, he has deeply im- planted himself in our hearts. His red hair is typical of his great zeal to do good deeds. He is considered one of the dependable workers in the school. Dick played on the intra-mural basketball team during his Junior and Senior years; he also played on the football team during his last two years and took an active part in dramatics. We give Dick our sincere wishes for a prosperous future. RITA BERMC SK Rita ST. COLUMBA Ever your friend J Till time shall end.

Mary entered Catholic High in her Senior year and in a very short time, we learned that her aid in various sub- jects was invaluable She was ready to help anyone at any time and seemed to be everywhere at once. She works steadily and surely but always has time for fun. She was quite a basket- ball fan and few games passed at which she was not present to cheer the team on to victory. May success be yours, Mary. MARGARET BLIMMEL Pres h ST. COLUMBA Cheerful loofe mufe every dish a feast. Presh came to us as one of our smallest freshies. Although she has not added much to her height, she has grown to be one of our most charming Seniors She is one of our most active class members and always greets one with a pleasant smile and dancing eyes. She is faithful to her friends and. also to her school. Even the slightest detail does not escape her notice. Whether it is important or not. Presh makes it seem so. Lots of luck, Presh, and don’t forget us.

The first drum-major of Catholic Hi can be considered one of the most popular boys in school. His jovial nature, mixed with his sense of humor, brought out a peculiar method of scattering the gloom of his friends. His sense of rhythm finds expression not only in the swing ing of his haton, but also in his ability to write verse, particularly ballads. He is indeed the Poet Laureate of 200. ”Alf has played in the operetta, the Alumni plavand ('lass play and. he was a member of the Intramural Basketball RUDOLPH BRLANSKY Rudy ST. PETER AND PAUL “Still u-dter runs deep. It is not hard to keep track of “Rudy . We never hear much about what he’s doing but we know he’s doing some- thing. He ts a good sport, and can appreciate a joke at his own expense. Largeness of heart and broadness of mind make him a millionaire of char- acter. May his powers for good be far reaching. JOANNE BYERS Joanne ST. JOSEPH Cheer ulness is the offshoot of gooJness. Here is the proud possessor of very beautiful red hair. Though some say that red-haired folks become very angry, we disclaim such a statement here. Joanne is always cheerful and ready for fun. no matter what the time She is our sophisticated lady and is quite popular with all the stu- dents. Even on rainy days. Joanne has a happy smile for everyone, and we feel sure that she will go far in life. PAUL BYER Paul ST. PATRICK “One today is worth two tomorrows. One of Ferndale’s contributions to our school. Cooperation is one of the traits found in this football totin’ hero from Catholic High. Paul” earned his J and no doubt will cherish it as a memorable souvenir. Paul” olayed for three years. He featured in the Christmas Cantata and in the Class Play. His commercial ability, which cannot be surpassed, will earn for him a special rung at the top of the ladder of success in the business world. SAMUEL CERMUTO 'Sam ST. COLUMBA ’’Music is his language. Sam is a boy whose companionship is loved by all. He has a keen sense of humor and. if one chanced to hear laughter in a group, usually “Sam was the center of the frolic. He is very fond of music and gives his whole hearted attention to all activities. Be- sides being a good musician. Sam gives the boys a few pointers on the art of truckin' and the Suty Q. AH these points that I have mentioned will aid Sam in his future years. RITA CISARICK Rita T- MARY [o one is useless in thi world. if he lightens the burden of others. If anyone is in doubt about the latest dance step, lust ask Rita This young lady is quite a dancer, but dancing isn't her sole accomplishment She has a quiet disposition, a friendly smile, two twinkling eyes, and a keen sense of humor. Her readv wit has helped us pass many dreary days and only serves to make other bright days brighter She is usually helping someone with that math problem and never gets angry. We're all with you. Rita' JOSEPHINE COLOSIMO Dimples’ ST. MICHAEL Friends she has many. Foes—few, if any. Among our class members we find a young maiden with dark wavy hair and a pair of merry laughing brown eyes, that seem always full of mischief. Her million dollar smile docs to the class what sunshine does to the flowers. Here is one who is a good sport . She is cooperative and enthusiastic. Her kind, sympathetic nature has won her many fnends. Her ambition is to be a secre- tary. and 1 am sure we all wish her the best of luck. JULIA CONLEY Connie VISITATION The finest pleasures that do not end. Are those we share with our true friend. In Connie can be found a true and loyal friend with a rare wit and an in- comparable sense of humor She is X usually found in the midst of merriment $ and has brightened many a dreary day X by her jokes and lively chatter. Her I fine school spirit enables one to find her X at all school activities. She is depend- ♦ able to the utmost and has a way of X helping others which is done in such X an unobtrusive manner that it often 1 goes unappreciated. Here's wishing X you every success in the future. X ELIZABETH COVAL Belts ST. PATRICK Humor is the rainbow of the world's tears. Betty is like a light breeze on the summer calm. Her happy-go-lucky man- ner and contagious laughter will guide her to achieve her big aim in life. Two of Betty's most outstanding qualities are based upon her optimistic attitude and fine sense of humor. Being full of vim. vigor, and vitality she is alert and quick in action. Enthusiasm is her second name. Small of stature, but big of heart describes our Betty. Depend- ability. enthusiasm and humor lead to success in life; so, Betty, keep it up. SUZANNE COYLE Sue ST. COLUMBA Nothing is impossible to a willing heart. Sue is one who sacrifices much and expects little a true friend. Her sym- pathetic understanding will help her to bring happiness to others. Her appear- ance cannot conceal her heart of gold. She does not flinch before hard work and is eager and ambitious. She is pleasant to look at. congenial to talk to and interesting to associate with. She is tall and slender and has attrac- tive red hair and blue eyes. She never boasts, but she has ambitions Best of luck. Sue. KATHLEEN DAILEY Kay ST. PATRICK There are friends who come and friends who go dnd friends who stay Iil[r you.” Let us present with great pleasure one of the rarest, truest of friends. Honest, intelligent, kind, she is a real jewel Kay came to us in her senior year, but in that short time she has won the love and friendship of our ebss. Kay's chief dislike is getting her picture taken by a candid camera. Her speed in typing and her accuracy in shorthand were a source of emulation to some. May the future bring her more friends and lots of luck. HELEN FARABAUGH Cutie” ST. JOHN GAULRERT There is man? a gem m the path of life. Sweet ami shy describes this little lady perfectly She is especially noted for her warm smile She is always willing to be generous and help us through our difficulties. Although she did not usu- ally take an active rart in the school activities, she was an enthusiastic foot- ball fan. She i sweet and unobtrusive, which qualities make her dear to all of us. We feel certain that success will be always with you. Helen. Best wishes for your future from the entire Senior Class. CHRISTOPHER FLYNN Chris ST.JOSEPH Hii willingness to worl( has made him popular. He is a student who works to the best of his ability. His generosity and school spirit will long be remembered. He is more of a quiet student but now and then he jx ps up with a little non- sense. His tendency to talk in class leads one to think he might belong to a whispering campaign. The boys will not soon forget Chris’s battered shark. MARY JANE FOSTER Fos ST. JOHN OAUIBERT o one who does not enjoy work can truly enjoy anything else. We can’t say whether or not Fos really enjoys work, but we are sure that she enjoys everything else. She is quite an artist, and we all remember the excellent work she did while attend- ing high school. She is a cntic and painter in the art circle and can be de- pended upon at any time. Another of her favorite pastimes is playing a guitar. Mary Jane merited the honor of being chosen May Queen, a distinction which her goodness won for her. EDWARD CLOCK Ted ST. JOHN OAUIBERT High in morals. I(cen in mind. The worId needs men of this kind. For all the kidding we give Ted about his being conservative, we can’t help admiring the efficiency with which he does his work. This was proved in his capable handling of the yearbook in capacity of business manager. Ted is labeled to go far in the business world. His Tin Lisz was valuable in many an emergency and helped to lessen considerably the number at detention. MARY GODFREY Dollie VISITATION Ho victory without work.” Mary is our A No. I athlete and her services have been of invaluable aid to our girls’ hasketball team. Moreover, she is outstanding for her willingness to inconvenience herself in order to help others. No matter what task she may be doing, Mary puts a Jot of what is best expressed as umph” behind it. We’re wishing her lots of luck for the future. MARY HANZEL Mary ST. STEPHEN She has a tongue at will, yet u as never loud. This light haired, fair maiden won the hearts of all her classmates and no doubt will linger in their memories as one they can consider a true friend. She is quiet and serious-minded, and at the same time an enjoyable and sociable compaton Her fayonte say- ing. What do ycu want? explains to us her willingness to help anyone at any time Mary’s one amhiuon is to become a nurse, and I’m sure every- one will be glad to wish her the best. ROBERT GRADWOHL “Grady ST. JOSEPH So neighbored to hit youth and humor. “Grady is not a perfect student hut when it comes to straight, logical think' ng. he surpasses all. A determined spirit and a business like attitude point out his qualities. Some classmates say he is one of the best debaters in the school. “Grady’s orations and lengthy recitations have proven his mental capacity. We believe he wants to be- come a basketball star Grady en- gaged in Junior Varsity and Intra- mural basketball. He also served as basketball and football manager and was Co-Editor of the school paper. WILLIAM HEINRICH “Bill ST. BENEDICT “A scholar but a boy. With scarcely a word to say. Bill goes about his business. The fact that he lives a great distance from the school keeps him out of extra-curricular acti- vities. Nevertheless we have learned a great deal about him. He is much in earnest and very dependable. These characteristics alone are enough to see Bill through the long journey ahead of him. HELEN HE1PLE “Jean ie“ ST. PATRICK ‘‘Charming, unassuming, gay. Helen is charming, and gay. She has quick, quiet ways. She is always alert, and loves a good joke She has a fine sense of humor. She blends levity and seriousness and strikes a happy medium. Jcanie is everybody's friend. Her favorite diversion is a daily half-mile walk, taken each noon. She s bubbling over with spirit and is ever on the alert for a good time. 4♦♦♦ WILLIAM HOFFMAN Bill ST. BENEDICT Great things come in small packages. In Bill we find a mere youth who is efficient, energetic and active in all of his enterprises Despite his diminutive stature. Tuffy has been able to grasp employment in Schrader's Green- houses. one of the leading florists of the city Notwithstanding the fact that he is successfully hurdling the obstacles in his path as a florist, we feel sure that Bill will soon-be a second Grace Phelan as a typist Good luck. Tuff! MARGARET HOLDER “Hoey ST. JOHN CUALBERT Quality is better than quantity Petite Margaret is a welcome addition to any crowd. Her personality radiates charm. Her motto is Pleasure first and work afterward. This jolly, peppy, and vigorous lass is a great dance lover and is keen on sports, such as swimming, skating, and football She is very talkative, and the many humorous answers coming from so small a girl delight the class Margaret is one of the faithful librarians. ALBERT HOLZMAN “Alb, ST. BENEDICT Straightforwardness. persistence and courage. Meet our Class President! He is one of those boys who is always consistent and expects no credit for being so. He rarely becomes excited, and when he does, it is with good cause His scholar- ship has won for him a high ranking in the upper fourth. He. like William Heinrich, lives in Geistown and there- fore cannot participate in activities. He is destined for college and then for truly great things. Boys of Alky's calibre never fail to reflect credit on their Alma Mater. WILLIAM HOPFER VISITATION “A jolly as the day it long.” He is the originator of jokes anJ a firm believer in: “A laugh a Jay keeps the doctor away.” Bick is a newcomer in our ranks, having joineJ us only at the start of our tinal year He claims he’s a pronounceJ woman hater, but he can't pull the wool over our eyes. We know Bick.” He is full of pep anJ fun and we hope life will deal happily with him. JOHN HURTAK I “John t ST.JOSEPH Not on the heights. 1 but climbing.' j John is one of those fellows who be- I lieves in working hard to achieve j something.

PAUL IMR1CH Whitey ST. STEPHEN “The apparel oft’ proclaims the man. “Whitey” is the gentlemen (the English type). In fact, he is a real Beau Brummel .' His main object is to wear stylish hats. and. because of this fact, he has established himself as the leading hat stylist in Catholic High. Giving advice is his favorite pastime, and he delights in making rather lengthy explanations. “Whitey is the proud posv’ssor of a captivating smile and a genial disposition. THOMAS JURCHACK “Tommy” ST. PATRICK “He himself is his only parallel. Tom is known as a regular fellow. He has no time for frowning and he is always happy. This quality has won friends and popularity for him His school spirit is rated very high, and he is always willing to give his help. He takes part in many school activities and besides, he is a scholar and a perfect gentleman. KATHLEEN KABOR Kay ST. COLUMBA “A Charming maJen juch as she Can never without friends be. When laughter echoes in 103. you will surely bnJ the dainty Kay in the midst of it all. No matter what dance is held at Catholic High she is always in attendance. Kay's congenial ways and smiling face can easily win any heart. She is loyal to her school, and her school-spirit is full to over-flowing Kay. we sincerely hope that you will have success in any of your future undertakings. MARIE KESSLAK Sis ST. MICHAEL Take each mans censure but reserve thy judgment. Mario is a quiet Min who doesn't express her opinions often, but she has made herself conspicuous by a congenial smile for everyone and a good nature which has endeared her to all of us. She wishes to follow the nursing pro- fession, and we know that she will be tops'' as far as she is concerned Good luck and may God bless you. Marie. CHRISTIAN KOHLER Chris ST. JOSEPH Hu success u not measured by the heights he has reached, but by the obstacles he has overcome. “Chris is a hard worker in every held. He will be remembered epsecially for his splendid work as a cheerleader. A keen and open mind has given him the reputation of a good debater. Chris has given his assistance in many a school activity, thus adding to his popularity. JOSEPH KOMISKEY Joe ST. JOSEPH Do unto others as you ivould have them do unto you. This prominent member of the class of 38 has a way of making and keeping friends. Satisfied with anything that came his way. The Golden Rule is his motto and we have no doubt that Joe lives up to it. Everybody was his friend, and he was everybody's friend. With malice toward none and justice toward all. he treads the road to success at the expense of no one. r STEVEN KORCHNACK Cor y ST. STEPHEN A tranquil person is bound to succeed. Corky is the possessor of many likable traits, among them being pleasantness and friendliness. Soft spoken he showed determination in his every movement. Corky is a real sport but above all else, a gentleman. The business world will receive an excellent recruit when our Corky leaves us. The world will hear from him. we promise. r FRANCIS L1SON 'W ST. STEPHEN A friend in need is a friend indeed When a fellow needed a friend. Zeke was always there and first, for he had a tendency zo move about in a hurried manner. At has been our pleasure to have with us a young man who is very serious at all times, but 'neath his mask of gravity he has a heart for mirth Zeke was always aware of the pre- sence of les dames which made him redden up a bit. for he is afflicted with bashfulness, so uncommon among our boys. Zeke was No. 1 artist among the boys. So here's to success. Zeke. while you paint your life's picture JOSEPH MAJER Chick ST.STEPHEN ‘He does the best in all tbings. Chick is a product of Cambria City and a graduate of Saint Stephen’s grade school He has turned out to be one of the greatest basketball players ever produced at Catholic Hi. Indeed we wonder if we could boast of the State Championship, were it not for Chicks skill in making the basket. We also have to mention his ability as a football player. In spite of the work required to establish himself as a football and basketball player, Chick is one of the most brilliant students in the class. ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦a ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦ ♦♦ ♦♦♦♦ ♦♦ ♦ CHARLES MARCINKO Chinny ST.

MICHAEL Life is real when it is in earnest. Ann's willingness to help others has gained for her the admiration of her fellow-students. She is cheerful and always ready to see the humorous side of a situation. The term book-worm can easily be applied to Ann. Tne saying that books contain a world of knowledge must be true, for Ann's vocabulary is the most outstanding in the English class. Ann has been given the honor of Class Chronicler. She took great interest in her commercial work and is almost certain to meet success in the business world. MARCH OF TIME PART I 1934-1935 One day, four years previous to this recounting of events, a certain group of newcomers shyly made their way to and through the portals of Catholic High School. That was in the fall of 1934. Awed by the superior atmosphere of a high school, these Freshies required some time to become accustomed to their surroundings. In the process of adjusting themselves to their new conditions some few dropped from the ranks. Those who stayed soon found that their pluck was not in vain. Of course, it was a great step from the elementary grades to this extremely new type of learning, and everyone had to adapt himself to the new way of living, but this was not as difficult as many might suppose. Latin, that once mysterious term, which became the “Open Sesame to the skillful use of words, was offered, as was Algebra, another new study. Those old standbys, namely: History, English, Music, Religion, and Health were present in the curriculum, but in a more advanced form than in the grades. To relieve the sorely tried minds, much in the field of dramatics and sports was inserted here and there throughout the year. One was spiritually thrilled by “The Way,” a Christmas play, and mentally chilled by The Haunted House, an Alumni Guild play. “Daddy Long Legs, by the Alumni Players, offered much in wholesome entertainment, as did The Bells of Capistrano,” the operetta, the Laetare Program by the music department and “The Four Flusher,” by the Senior Class of that year. On the battle field of war, the general leads his soldiers into retreat to be reinforced and to be made better able to attack the foe. Under the command of Father Wheeler, S.J., the entire student body went into a spiritual retreat, from which they gained much knowledge as to the tactics of their spiritual foes. The first school term passed rather rapidly, and final examinations filled our minds for a time; but gradu- ation day, which we looked forward to with “ah, dawned bright and clear with a touch of sadness in the air. The black clad figures marching slowly up the aisle reminded us that some day we too would be compelled to leave this joyous atmosphere; but one must acknowledge that, if nothing else was ac- complished, at least this lesson was learned; to quote Kipling: “It ain’t the individual Or the army as a whole But the everlasting teamwork Of every bloomin’ soul. PART II 1935-1936 The four seasons have passed since that first September day, and now the crowd has returned, after a three months’ reprieve. It was with a vast amount of enthusiasm that they returned. This time the entrance through the gate of Alma Mater was made with the utter lack of self-consciousness gained by a whole year of happy associations. In general, the class was better prepared for solid work than in the previous autumn. Being Sophs, they could assume a dignified attitude and tell, very knowingly, those green “Freshies all about the trial of a high school course. This year French was introduced to them. Along the entertainment line were given such dramatic presentations as “Jonesy, which made another highlight in the pages of our class history, and “Charley's Aunt,” both Alumni productions; “Daniel Boone, sponsored by our Department of Music, presented to the public the daring of the early American pioneers. The Senior Class Play, “Polishing Papa, was the final dramatic production of the year. The football and basketball seasons were attended with the usual excitement. Father Bonaventure, C.P., rendered valuable services in the form of a retreat, and there was earnest cooperation on the part of all. Something completely extra curricular caused much excitement. For several days classes were not taken up. In fact no one had any thought of school work. There was an acute need of immediate attention which affected all, young and old. No one could escape or rather did escape the effect, if not the actual deed. Remember? In March? The water got somewhat unruly. Result: Johnstown Flood of 1936! PART III 1936-1937 As Juniors the group returned in September, having assumed a certain dignified attitude because of the fact that they were the “Upper Classmen.” The right to attend dances, as well as to take part in the activities reserved for the Upper Classmen,” was welcomed, also, the more serious studies. This year brought about certain split-ups among the classes. In the first two years the students were assigned divi- sions according to their I. Q. standing, but the time had come when they had to choose for themselves between the Academic and the Commercial courses. When this momentous decision was over, everyone settled down, with the many delightful intervals of amusement, diversion and what not. Football season offered many thrills and heartaches; plays, such as, Nothing But the Truth. by the Alumni Guild, filled the auditorium with laughter; and Three Strikes You're Out was a presentation in which the Seniors made a lovely debut. Basketball season and the Junior-Senior Prom offered exiciting entertain- ment. “This Just Man,” a passion play by the Alumni Players, was sincerely appreciated by the many who saw it. Father Delaney conducted a memorable retreat. For the first time in the history of the school, all services were held within the walls of the building. The auditorium was converted into a Chapel. This added much to the solemnity of the occasion. Yes, in almost no time at all (or so it seemed) this year was over and the group had at last the right, by virtue of their persevering pursuit of knowledge for three years, to call themselves Seniors1 PART IV 1937-1938 Edgar A. Guest once said: The things are mighty few on earth That wishes can attain What e’er we want of any worth We’ve got to work to gain. Certainly, after three years steady grind any one would realize the truth of those lines. Studies were resumed in September with almost everyone showing earnest endeavor. The Seniors received much thanks from the students for the gala Thanksgiving Dance. The music presented by Laddy Timko’s orchestra was splendid, and both outsiders and students enjoyed the evening immensely. Preceding the Christmas vacation, a Christmas Cantata, entitled Christmas Through the Ages,” was sponsored by the music department. The acting and singing were appreciated by the students, and the presentation supplied all with the real Christmas spirit. The Sodality Bazaar, besides increasing the amount in the treasury, was one of the outstanding social functions of the year. The girls of the Sodality, under the supervision of the Sisters, cooperated to the utmost, and made it the best bazaar ever held at Catholic High. The Monogram Club never fails to add an expensive touch in the line of dances. The music, furnished by Baron Elliot, was excellent, and everyone was reported to have had a fine time. The boys showed that they could not be outdone in the arrangements and color schemes of the decorations, and every item on the program was carried out with the best possible taste. Many were the heroes on the athletic field, as well as on the floor. Our hats are off to the boys who guard their colors by the pigskin: Majer, Spack, Boyle, Platt, Wiesheier, Byers, Sturm, Ruth, and Nitch. Some of these went further into athletics. They went to Williamsport and brought back glory and a trophy via basketball. Catholic High School State Championship. Eerie was the Alumni play “The Bat,” and heartrending the play “Smilin' Through. Although the audience smiled through some of the scenes, in others there was much wiping of eyes, for the play was so well acted that the emotional response of the audience was both visible and audible. April 26 was the day set for the annual retreat. It was given under the direction of Father Joseph Hart, C.S.C. The earnestness with which the students attended the exercises proved that they absorbed much of the Notre Dame spirit. As the yeaT drew swiftly to a close, a drive for the year book patrons was made, and considering the “recession, the list is longer than we had dared to hope it would be. The operetta, “All At Sea,” was produced amidst much applause, and last but not least, the Junior-Senior Prom was a social feature that will ever hold a prominent place in our memories. Many times we posed before cameras, candid and otherwise. And who can describe the joyous thrill that accompanies the receiving of the class rings. And now we are about to merit a “Well done, in the form of our diploma, that passport to higher in- stitutions of learning. But still, we Seniors sigh and look back upon happy days passed under the shelter- ing care of old J.C.H.S. And so we bid a sad farewell to our Alma Mater, and as someone has said, The longest journeys have their end And darkest shadows flee; And ever the dreariest rivers Find their way to the Sea.” But Time Marches On!

Alma Mater, farewell! fUSIIDII UTI saiiiAiiov OUR LIBRARY Give me a song to signal a star, Give me love’s golden meed, But life, when you build me a calendar. Give me the time to read. Give me a dream that cycles the sun, Dialed in Heaven above. But best of all ere your gifts are done, Give me a boo!( to love. A wellorganized, up-to-date library is an essential equipment in a modern school. The school library reaches every child regularly over a period of years, and has the opportunity to guide each child in his development as a user of books. The ideal school library is a place for study, enjoyment and leisure, a center for the growth of taste, where intellectual character is formed, and where life-long purposes are discovered. Reading must always be in the nature of personal adventure. “When we open a book, we give to the author the rudder of our soul. Thus we see the importance of selecting the right book. One chooses one’s books and treats them as friends. And every man gathers around him from new and from old the books that are intended for him. But it is not long before one who is wise in his selection of book-friends learns that OPTIMUS MAGISTER BONUS LIBER The willing and helpful Juniors ready to step into the Seniors' shoes are: Helen Kenjesky Louise Ernest, Mary King, Joan Marshall, Ruth Meyers, Anna Caeti, Margaret Curley, Kathleen Brett, Helen Marsh, Ethel Mae Smith and Marjorie Horn. Valuable auxiliaries from the sophomore ranks are: Marion Culliton, Dorothy White, Martha Vance, Mary Klug, Irma Griacs, Virginia Zuby, Ethel Mae Sweeney, Josephine Cernuto, Dorothy Mahon, Geraldine Parks, and Hortense Rectenwald. OUR RETREAT Having heeded Christ's invitation, Come apart and rest awhile,” the student body entered into the Retreat of 1938, conducted by Father Joseph Hart, C.S.C. It opened Tuesday, April 26, and closed on Friday morning, April 29. This zealous retreat master drilled and instructed us in religious principles necessary for defend- ing our souls against the greatest foe of mankind, sin. His instructions on faith and morals permeated our hearts and souls, and transformed us from feeble and weak creatures into stalwart captains of the Ship of Life, given to us by God. Our vessel, frail and worn, was renewed with new sails of sanctifying and actual graces, and we hope to meet, courageously, the turmoil of the sea. Father Hart impressed upon us our dignity as human beings and our glorious destiny; and, in order more deeply to stress this truth he borrowed the following lines of Lionel Johnson: Fair though it be—to watch unclose The nestling glories of the rose. Depth—on rich depth—soft fold on fold; Though fairer be it—to behold Stately and sceptral lilies break To beauty and sweetness wake; Yet fairer still—to see and sing, One fairer thing is—one matchless thing. Youth—in its perfect blossoming. THE SODALITY OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY “Our tainted nature's solitary boast. Our Blessed Mother stands for all that is good and holy, pure and innocent. She is both God's Mother and ours; she is the bond between God and man. She is undoubtedly the perfect model for young Catholic girls. Since its affiliation in 1934, the Sodality has made great strides towards perfection in its organi- zation. To our regular spiritual activities of former years, namely, the monthly meeting, Holy Com- munion, Handmaids of the Blessed Sacrament and Masses, we have added two new Committees—the Eucharistic Committee and that of Our Lady. We have always had many subscriptions to the Queen's Work but this year, by way of spiritual reading, we have organized the Pamphlet Guild. But May Day is the one outstanding event of the year, anticipated for months. It is Mary's Day, and on this day the Blessed Mother is honored with due solemnity. The Sodality has also succeeded socially, as well as spiritually. We have our social and publicity committees. These add greatly to the entertainment of all. The social committee deserves special praise for its untiring efforts in making each meeting of the present year so successful. Our Hallowe'en Party opened the social events of the season. The surprise of the year, however, came at the Annual Bazaar. This affair surpassed all expectations and was a memorable day for the entire student body, as well as for the Sodalists. We can boast of one hundred per cent membership this year, and this fact adds greatly to the success of the Sodality, for in union there is strength. This is the main reason why the Sodality has progressed so wonderfully in every activity begun. The officers chosen to preside this year were: Prefect Betty Rose Nees; Vice-Prefect—Marjorie Horn; Secretary Treasurer—Mary Boes. Under this able leadership, the '37-38 group of Sodalists, assisted by the promoters, contributed their share of advancing the Sodality onward and upward to heights never previously reached. MAY CROWNING On May 19, the Socialists consecrated the beauteous month of May to Our Spotless Heavenly Queen. The May Queen, Mary Jane Foster, was attended by Helen Farabaugh and Kathleen Dailey. Her train-bearer was Mary Catherine Dietz, and the crown bearers were Mary Marcinko and Frances Murton. Betty Rose Nees, the Sodality Prefect, led the precession, followed by Vice-Prefect, Marjorie Horn, and Secretary-Treasurer, Mary Bees. Next came the Queen’s party and the Sodality promoters, Elva Wiedwald, Julia McAuliff, Shirley Gartland, Kathleen Godfrey, Pauline Bartos, Madeline McCabe, Leonor Cortez, Rita Denk, and Josephine Pribelsky. Then followed twelve Sodalists chosen from various rooms. All in the procession were attired in pastel shades which added a lovely touch to the ceremony. Before the May Queen advanced to the stage she was crowned by Father Cawley; upon reaching the stage she, in turn, crowned the beautiful new statue of our Blessed Mother, a gift from the Sodalists to the Sodality. After the crowning, the Vice-Prefect and the Secretary-Treasurer acted as heralds and called forth from the forest the flowers to present them at Mary’s shrine. Father Cawley delivered an inspiring talk and congratulated the Sodalists on their splendid work during the past year. At the close of the ceremony, the procession returned from the stage while the Sodalists sang a hymn to our Blessed Mother. THE LITTLE FLOWER MISSION SOCIETY By means of the mission society the students are given an opportunity of extending the helping hand of charity to the heroic missionaries far away from their homes and kindred; of bringing the gift and light of faith to those who still dwell in darkness; of aiding in the fulfilment of that daily prayer of Holy Church, “Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. During the month of February the mission society was affiliated with the Catholic Student Mission Crusade. Two hundred and thirtyTour students were enrolled as Knights and Ladies. Through the generous donations of the student body many foreign and domestic missions are aided materially each year. Spiritual aid is given to the missions by means of the Gemma's League of Prayer in which the students unite in offering their daily prayers and good deeds to bring God's blessing on the noble work of the missioners.

Heartfelt thanks are extended to its directors, in the persons of Sister Johanna and Father Fitzgibbon, because by their leadership, the orchestra has attained a very high standard. First of all, the appearance of the orchestra was improved by new stands. Then came the bells. New charm was added to the orchestra at their arrival. Our orchestra has proved itself useful by providing enter' tainment between acts at the many dramatic events staged by our Alumni and our students. Officers of the Music Club, which consists of both band and orchestra, are as follows: Samuel Cernuto.........................President Betty Rose Nees........................Secretary Patricia Marshall......................Treasurer Rita Weakland..........................Librarian Edward Clock..................Property Custodian MEMBERS OF THE ORCHESTRA First Violins—Rita Weakland, Coletta Huet, Rita Bischop.

That name brings to one's mind, drum cadences and the stomping of feet, better known as marching. On September 3, when the band began practicing their music as well as their drilling, under the direction of its able and well skilled directors, Mr. Joseph Boes and Mr. Frick, and the band's drum major, Alfred Bremer, one noticed a great improvement in obedience and discipline as well as the other qualities needed for effective production. The band was entirely in uniform, as quite a number of new capes were purchased this year. A bright new banner, which commands attention, was added also. During the football season, the band furnished no little enthusiasm to the football fans as well as to the gridders themselves, with their inimit' able style of music. When the football season ended, practice ceased, and the uniforms were carefully tucked away into what one might well call winter quarters. Thereafter, the band played at only the more important school activities. The class of '38 wishes the future band all the success in the world. Members of the band are as follows: Abele, John Bischof, Rita Boes, Agnes Bremer, Marcella Cernuto, Sam Conley, Mary Frick, Betty Frick, Dolores Clock, Edward Gross, Louise Gallagher, James Gavin, John Heptner, Victor Hacket, Elizabeth Hanley, Charles Jordan, Mary Kristofko, Andrew Kesslar, Dolores Ludwig, Katherine Mott, Francis Marshall, Patricia Mayer, Bill McGuirk, Kathleen Merx, John Nees, Betty Rose Nesbit, Mary Nesbit. Charles Pfiester, John Rodgers, Kathleen Rosenbaum, James Schiffauer, Marie Sagerson. John Sutton, Francis Sunseri, Marion Trabold, William Weakland, R. Wkiman, Joe ATHLETICS Alfred E. DeLuca Director of Athletics THE 1937 FOOTBALL SCHEDULE The 1937 football team completed its toughest schedule with a record of four wins, four losses, and one tie. With a squad of forty candidates, including six lettermen from the previous year. Coach A1 DeLuca molded the following team: LETTERMEN Majer L.E. Nitch Bahonc L.T. Byers Miterko L.G. Sturm Boyle. C. Warhul Ruth (Captain) R.G. Bushko Wiesheier R.T. Harnett Bullinger. R.E. Porowski Platt Q.B. Subich Brandon R.H. Getzey Yarchak L.H. Spack F.B. 1. In the opening game at the Point Stadium, the team won over the heavier, more cagy, and more expert enced Dickinson Seminary “B team by a score of 7—0. 2. Against Adams Township every player on the squad saw action as the team won by a score of 31—0. 3. When the Crimson and Gold invaded the foreign soil of Stubenville, they were given a 19—0 setback. 4. Not recovering from their first defeat, the J. C. H. S. team took a 38—0 reverse from their traditional rivals, Johnstown High, whose weight played an im- portant role in the defeat. 5. Catholic High got back into the winning column by turning back the St. Justin's gridders on a muddy field. The outcome was 6—0. 6. In another rain-soaked field the J. C. H. S. team suffered its third set-back in the hands of St. Francis of West Virginia. The score was 13—12. 7. The Crimson and Gold suffered their fourth and last defeat at the hands of Windber. The score was 32—0 in favor of the Coaltowners. 8. The game with Conemaugh was played on even terms and it proved to be a real mud-battle that ended in a scoreless tie. The result was 0—0. 9. In the final game of the season at Pittsburgh, the J. C. H. S. team showed their “do or die spirit when they refused to suffer another defeat. In the last ten seconds of play, Majer caught one of Brandon's many long passes and romped over the goal for the six points, which deadlocked the score. Spack then caught a pass in the end zone to win the game by a score of 7—6. Although the Johnstown Catholic High team suffered four defeats, it has not one reason to bow its head in shame. Every game was a tough one, and the boys gave their best all the time.

THE MONOGRAM CLUB New policies in athletics set up four years ago led to the creation of the Monogram Club. Meni' bership in this organization is extended to the lettermen of football and basketball, managers and cheer' leaders. Conforming with the rules of the club, the initiation was held at the close of the football season. This event provided fun and enjoyment for the old members, and persecution and agony to the applicants seeking admission to the club. The annual Monogram Dance swung to success to the tune of Baron Eliott and his orchestra on February 7- Social activities of the club came to an end with the Monogram picnic which afforded the boys much enjoyment.

They drew a first round bye. They defeated Wilkes-Barre 51—18 in a second round game the same evening. This put them in the semi-finals. Their next opponent was South East Catholic of Philadelphia, whom they defeated 27—22, after putting on a second period surge. This hard-earned victory placed them in the finals along with the towering representatives trom St. Basil’s of Pittsburgh, who had previously defeated Lancaster, Harrisburg and Scranton. The final game was played before a capacity crowd of cheering rooters. Our boys were forced to wage a hard fight to turn back the Pittsburgh threat in the championship battle. It was a sensational spurt in the final quarter that carried them through to the tournament crown. After holding a scant 29—27 lead at the close of the third quarter, they unleashed a withering attack in the closing minutes of the final canto, that left the ponderous Pittsburghers in the lurch. The final score was 47—35. This final encounter marked their fifteenth consecutive victory. With their victory in the finals. Coach DeLuca’s protegees were presented with the Bishop Hafey Trophy, emblematic of the title, the Williamsport Knights of Columbus Trophy, and individual gold medals. The triumphal return of the boys on Monday morning was the occasion of one of the biggest student demonstrations ever witnessed at Catholic High School. The entire student body was in front of the school to greet their conquering heroes, as they returned to school with the championship trophies. SOME INTERESTING QUOTATIONS From the Williamsport Paper— “The champions, whose team play was easily the most perfected among the twelve quintets entered in the two-day tourney, soon won the admiration of the crowd and the triumph was a popular one.” From Bosh (Johnstown Democrat)— “For a grand comeback in sports, you've got to hand it to Johnstown Catholic High School, which today reigns supreme in basketball among the Catholic High Schools of Pennsylvania. But those dark clouds of a few years ago had a grand silver lining, which shone brightest Saturday evening when the school team won the State Catholic High School Basketball Championship. The 1937-38 basketball season was by far the greatest athletic campaign enjoyed by a school team. True, the school did boast some pretty good cage teams in the past, but none seems to have done the grand-slamming that this year's court combination did. There's nothing fluky about this State Catholic High School Championship. You've got to be good to win it. A total of 28 schools from all sections of the State sought berths in the tournament. Only 12 teams with the best records throughout the State are accepted. And there's nothing fluky, either, about this year's Crim- son quintet. When it completed play in the State tourney, it had completed a record of 20 victories in 21 games. Quoting Father Cawley— In view of the fact that this year the twelve teams accepted in the tournament were those whose records proved their right to represent their districts, the glory of victory was all the more substantial; and the champion- ship is genuine, in the fullest sense of the term—a great credit to our team and our coach. And from the bottom of our heart we say: ‘To Coach DeLuca and his fine team heartfelt congratulations and profound thanks for providing us with the greatest thrill we have ever experienced in the entire history of the school’s athletic competition.’ ’’ And the Reward for all This— 1. The Bishop Hafey trophy- three feet high, gold, engraved, and everything, which the team holds for one year. 2. A beautiful silver Knights of Columbus trophy, which is a permanent prize. 3. A special telegram of con- gratulation from Bishop Richard T. Guilfoyle. which the boys treasure among their souvenirs. 4. A grand demon- stration on the part of the entire Catholic High School student body on the day of the team's return. 5. Silver medals attesting to each player's prowess as “champion. 6. A free day for the squad, and a surprise free half day for the entire student body. 7. Excellent wTite-ups and good photographs of the team in all the local papers. 8. High praise from all sides. 9. Special service, so it is rumored, and extra helpings in the high school cafeteria. 10. A special testimonial banquet for the conquering heroes on April 21.

INTRAMURAL BASKETBALL Intramural basketball was played more enthusiastically this year than ever. Each home room had at least one team to represent it. Some of the larger divisions entered two teams. The season was divided into halves, with the Senior Academic team taking both halves. They went through the season with seventeen victories against no defeats. This is the second year that the team has emerged victors of the league. During the 1935-36 season they were Division 202. Senior Commercial boys were runners- up, winning thirteen of their seventeen games. ACADEMICS COMMERCIALS Howard Sherman Christopher Flynn Samuel Cernuto Joseph Vyhonsky Claude Nitch William Tully John Pie Robert Phillips Robert Gradwohl Stephen Maslak Stephen Korchnak Alfred Bremer James Parkinson Walter Porowski Peter Stein George Miterko Paul McCloskev GIRLS' BASKETBALL TEAM The girls’ basket-ball team of Catholic High School gained recognition in the field of sports this year. Through the valuable aid of Miss Keenan, who was enlisted as our coach, we succeeded in mastering to a certain extent the technique of the game. On Saturday, March 19, four of our girls, Mary Godfrey, Kathleen Godfrey, Patricia Marshall and Cecilia Farabaugh, accompanied by Miss Keenan, journeyed to Seton Hill for International Play Day. The following Friday the team motored to Cresson to play the Mt. Aloysius Academy girls. The score was 20—7, in favor of Mt. Aloysius Academy, but, in spite of our defeat, we had a very enjoyable time. On Friday, April 1, the Cresson girls played us on our own floor and we were again defeated by a score of 15—7. The only seniors on our basketball team were Mary Godfrey and Patricia Marshall. However, if the other eighteen members of the team show next year as much interest and enthusiasm as these two athletes manifested, the girls’ basketball team will compel no little attention. DRAMATICS Three outstanding offerings by the Alumni Guild players have made the 1937 38 season in dramatics one of the most successful in the history of Johnstown Catholic High School. The first of these was The Bat,” a mystery comedy by Mary Roberts Rhinehart and Avery Hopwood. This was presented November 9 and 10, 1937. The “Christmas Through the Ages,” by Uiers Robertson and E. S. Loring was presented on December 17th, 1937- This Cantata portrayed the true spirit of Christmas from the time of Christ up to the modern time. The cast included: Annunciator...................................Robert Sefick Blessed Virgin.....................Mary A. Lantzy St. Joseph.........................Edward Litwalk Loir................................Mary L. Wolfehope Hope...............................Elva Weidwald Joy................................Dorothy McGovern Brotherhood........................Joseph Cavanaugh Promise of Peace...................Dorothy Oswald Woman in Oriental Costume.....................Joanne Byers Womanhood of the World.............Betty McDevitt Woman in Oriental Costume .... Ethel Mae Smith T'iurse......................................Majorie Horn Also—Shepherds, Wise Men, Soldiers, Disciples, Small Girls, Rough Men, Small Boys, Two Students, Beggars , Christian Martyrs, and Chorus Next came “Smilin’ Thru on February 16th and 18th, 1938. This was hailed as one of the best plays ever staged in the city of Johnstown. “Smilin' Thru” may lie classed as a romantic comedy drama. It was written by Allan Longdon Martin and has enjoyed an extended popularity both on the stage and in motion pictures. “Behold The Man,” the third of the Alumni productions was unique in both plot and presenta- tion. A modern Passion Play, written by Father Daniel A. Lord, S.J., showed very clearly that, though centuries may pass, people are fundamentally the same. April 7th, 10th, 11th and 12th were the dates of presentation. Members of the Alumni Guild who took part in these plays during the year were: Paul Adams, Clemens Bremer, Gertrude Neral Bremer, Anne Dolan, Frank Foster, Robert Glass, Margaretta Jendricks, Margaret Klott, John Kiniry, Bernard McCrory, Betty McDevitt, Rita Pohl, Joseph Pohl, John Ruth, and Nicholas Szabados. This year, as a departure from the usual class play, and to provide an opportunity for a larger number of Seniors to display their acting ability and vocal talents. Father Fitzgibbon decided upon a larger venture and produced an operetta, “All At Sea,” by David Stevens. The songs and choruses in this fantasy are taken from the five most popular works of Gilbert and Sullivan, “H. M. S. Penafore,” “The Pirates of Penzance, “The Mikado, “Patience and Iolonthe.” The participants in this production deserve more than the usual amount of praise for their excellent performances, because Gilbert and Sullivan operettas are considered quite difficult and outside the scope of the ordinary high school group.
