MEMORIES JOHN KRISTOFKO John St. Patrick t'Still water runs deep. One takes a liking to John the first time one meets him. We never hear much about what he is doing, but we know he is a real sport and always ready to do someone a good turn. He has excellent school spirit and takes part in many actvities of the school. His am- bition is to become a Flying Cadet. To sum up all of this, we can truthfully say that John is a millionaire of excellent character. Intramural . . . . .1-2 LEONARD KUBINSKY KilleI ' St. Stephen It is more blessed to give than to receive. In his four years with us Leonard has al- ways been a friend to all of us. One of his outstandng traits is to help others. Interest in mathematics has made him one of the class leaders in this subject. He also proved himself to be an admirer of Virgil by this ex- cellent translation of his works. Leonard is usually seen dr.ving his blue Chevvie back an gl forth to school. To this amazing character we wish all the luck that is necessary for suc- cess in the world. Holy Name .. 4 C. s.M.c.... ...1-4 . ggi-C-'-- 1231 S. C.

Cutie has a grand personality with a ready smile for each and everyone. She likes to have fun and enjoy herself as we have no- tced throughout her four years at Catholic High. She has always offered her candid opinion, especially when she was asked a question and has very generously offered sug- gestions. If she made a mistake, she took the correction with a smile and a resolution to do better. We will always remember Jean as a good sport and studentfa loyal friend of Catholic High. Our Lady of Mercy '4She must be seen to be appreciated. Petite but powerful perhaps best describes Irene. Her winning smile and red hair, set off by her Irish eyes, are welcomed in any crowd. A talkative little minx who finds laughter in almost any thing, but when the time to be serious approaches, Irene excels in seriousness, too. We will always remember Irene for her ability to make any class in which she was present alive and excited. Twenty-sin'

MEMCRIES Cantata ....... 1-2-3-4 Intramural Basketball ..... 1-2-3-4 Holy Name .... 4 HERBERT KESSLER Herk St. Joseph He is not here to play, to dream, to drift, He has hard work to do, and loads to lift. Shun not the struggle-f-face it, 'tis God's gift. This quotation describes the kind of per- son Herk is, loyal, determined and generous. He is usually seen at bingo or in Matt Evan's Drug Store in Conemaugh Borough. Herbert is the bashful type, seldom seen in company with girls, save for the parties at C. H. S. His ambition is to own a bingo or to become choir master at St. Joseph's. Herk's hobby is story-telling. Good luck, Herk! ELEANOR KLEMAN El St. Patrick A friend-fthe link of llfc's chain that bears the greatest strain. Eleanor is one of the best-liked girls in the Senior class. As a Freshie, she brought honor to our class by winning an essay con- test. Her literary ability is surpassed, how- ever, by her athletic ability. She is a star basketeer on St. Anne's intramural team. For a few months we loslt Eleanor to Derry Town- ship, but true friendship made her decide to return to us. May her sparkling personality br ng her many new friends along with geat- est success.

An earnest student, Joe is one of our most deserving graduates. He always holds a democratic point of v ew and he has shown great talent as a debater. His stentorian voice in itself is convincing, and many an op- ponent has quailed before it. He does indeed speak with authority. Joe has been generous in giving his time to extra-curricular activi- ties,a fact which reflects his infterest in and loyalty to Cathol'c High. Joe has ambitions of the highest. May Providence help him to fulfill them. GRACE KNOBLOCK Gracie Sacred Heart Wit makes its own welcome, and levels all distinctions. 'tGracie, one of the live wires of the Senior Class, is a representative of Sacred Heart Parish. Interested in aft school activities, cheerfully helping where help was needed, Grace has been a persistent booster. Her tid ness is symbolic of her future career, as a beautician. Grace is interested not only in external beauty, for she knows that the source of true beauty is from within. She has a smile for everyone, a Word of kindness for all--two .things which keep the wheels of lfe from creaking. Basketball ..... 2-3-4, Operetta ...... Poster Contest. 1 T. K. B.

MEMCRIES CATHERINE MARCINKO Cathy St. Stephen The fair, the chaste, and unexpressive she. This blonde classmate has the distinction of being a permanent Honor Roll member. Her kind and helpful manner, and her ever gentle voice have made many of us play favorites. Among Calthy's outside activities, we find that skating rolls along at the top of the list. with dancing, following a few fancy steps bc- hind. The point of the pen ,ls one of Cathy's strong points, and we are sure she could champion any cause with it. Her poems, short stories and essays brought much de- light to her student audience. Aiming high, this Miss has set her amb tion on becoming a nurse and thus aiding human- ity. STEPHEN MARSHALL Steve Class President Our Mother of Sorrows He is a gentle, true, and perfect knight. Stephen ,a citizen of Southmont, is known to his friends as Steve Although not a brilliant scholar in languages, he is a mathe- matical wizard. Steve s patient and pos- sesses a splendid sense of humor. His favor among his classmates won for him the dis- tinctive office of class president. W'e are glad that his artist c talent was discovered in time to find a place in 1943 Memories Steve is usually seen hitching a ride to Southmont and his now see here! can often times be heard from the least expected places. Steve , we are sure, will persevere in any undertaking in life. Librarian ...... 2-3-4 T. K. B. C1ub-- 4 S. C. A.... 4 C. C.

She is a fun-loving, jovial sort of person who is always welcome in any crowd. She's the bashful type until you get to know her. Her charming manner and lov- able personality have won her many friends. Some scientist should patent her laughfhe would reap a fortune. No need to ask Tinca to be candid, for she 's just that and tells one just what she thinks in a few words. A friend---the link in life's chain that bears the greatest strain. Our tall, brunette Janet is one of the busiest girls in the Senior Class. Most of the time she was to be found in the typing room, typing some manuscript or a mission report in her capacity as Mission Secretary. Energetic and active, Janet is usually 'in the center of a crowd of joking students. Weasie is a true friend and a good sport. Dancing is one of her favorite pastimes. Twenty-seven
