— 19 4 2 — Twenty-nine ETHELREDA LINTNER Eddie St. Gregory “Eddie” is one of our few students who comes from Daisytown. With her jolly nat- ural and friendly smile sh captured the friendship of all who know her. One of “Ed- die’s” favorite hobbies is dancing, which she does gracefully. We are proud to say that Ethelreda was our senior Sodality Promoter and she displayed splendid enthusiasm in this honored position. Ethelreda’s sole ambition is to become a nurse. May her hopes be realized ir. the very near future! RAYMOND LINTNER “Daisy Weed” St. Gregory Ray, never a quitter, hails from Daisytown. He doesn’t say much but what he does say is sharp, sensible and true to the point. Like all boys, he likes sports, especially basketball and baseball. He played on the intra-mural team of 200-A and his services proved quite valuable to his teammates. Ray dislikes being teased by his classmates about the girls. His chief ambition is to become an aviator—and who knows —maybe in the near future he will achieve his ambition. Sodality Promoter Prince Gallitzin Pageant Handmaid May Crowning Cantata .......

He is the quiet type of boy, but a deep thinker and a logical one. We have not the least inkling of his ambition, but we are sure his aspirations are high. He is the eighth member of his family to graduate from Catholic High. He is in reality in “love ’ with Virgil. Outside of school activities. John finds time to visit Moxham and Coopersdale. and also to razz Burns about his Ford. JOAN LITZINGER “Nonie” Visitation A charming bit of femininity and one of our outstanding students, in both scholastic and social fields, noted for her witticisms likeable personality and her touch of originality, which certainly can not be overlooked. “Nonie” has a deep appreciation for music, and for four years she made a harmonious contribution to the chool orchestra by the sweet notes of her violin. She finds sheer delight in reading the works of Lucille Borden—her favorite author. May the future hold for her the choicest of blessings!

MEMORIES Twenty-eight HELEN KORCHNAK “Corky” St. Stephen The quiet, pleasant but efficient manner with which Helen approaches her daily duties plus the loyalty which she shows to both the school and her friends mark her a young lady of high ideals. She is most happy when buried in the pages of a good book. “Corky’s” very reserved manner only convinces us that somewhere under the exterior there lies a heart of gold. Lots of luck “Corky” and don’t forget us. LAWRENCE LEAR “Larry” St. Patrick Larry hails from Moxham. His sturdy build gives him the appearance of an athlete. He’s in school every day, rain or shine, and he’s never late if he can help it. He is very popular and well-known in the school and on the premises thereabout. He is a mission representative and I might add that he is doing a very good job of it. He spends his evenings ice skating, roller skating and watch- ing basketball games.

He is fond of sports, especially football. His courage on the gridiron proved that Jack had plenty of that old fighting spirit of do or die for Catholic High. Jack boasts of descending from the great Polish race, which at the present time is found worthy to suffer so much for God. TERRY LEFFLER “Terry St. Patrick We are glad that Terry decided to receive his high school “sheep’s skin” from Catholic High. A twentieth century lad who, as the knights of old. has achieved noble conquests because of the inspiration of a “fair lady”. Although he received public recognition for the safe and sure driving, we know that he is secretly cherishing the desire of showing h:s “all-out-for-defense” by changing his place in a Chevrolet to the cockpit of any species of aircraft. Fly high, Terry!

Eating has always been a favorite hobby for “Margie”, but in the past year driving a car seems to have surpassed it by far. The fact that she is very efficient in 'his field is proved by her being chosen the champion high school girl driver in the city of Johnstown. Mary Margaret’s ambition is to be an elementary school teacher. May her hope be realized and may the future bring un- bounded success. VERA MAY LUSCOMBE “Snooky” St. Joseph One of the special blessings enjoyed at Catholic High was the privilege of hearing on various occasions, our golden-voiced senior, Vera May, who possesses a voice of rare qual- ity and sweetness. She has the ambition to be a Metropoliton opera star, and with her beautiful voice, her charming personality and perseverance she will surely succeed. Some day we may see her name in lights. Vera has a keen sense of humor and puts feeling into everything she says. She is a marvel at vi- talized conversation, but she is not in favor of monologues. JOSEPH McANENY “Mac” (President of Senior Class) Mother of Sorrows In “Mac’s” great frame is housed a heart of gold, a sense of humor, and an intelligent mind. Mac’s” determination and diligence will be great aids in obtaining his ambition, which is to be a lawyer. His powers of oratory, which he develops at every opportunity and his love for arguing will surely make him “tops” in the legal profession. “Mac’s” football ability was manifested early in the Junior High team. He made the first string team in his junior and senior year. AGNES McCLOSKEY “Aggie” Our Lady of Mercy Aggie is an effervescent little Irish lass from room 98. She is very attractive in her appearance and is a great little “jitterburg.” Industriously she works for the “Sodalite,” our noteworthy Sodality paper. She was noted for playing the part of the patient when- ever called on in nursing class. The possession of wit and originality will surely carry her to success in any career she may choose. There is a definite atmosphere of independence about her and shq has a congenial spirit with which she can combat the world.
