? MEMORIES 1944 Published by THE SENIOR CLASS CENTRAL CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL JOHNSTOWN, PENNSYLVANIA FOREWORD “I would like to make a list against the evil days of lovely things to hold in memory.” The happy hours spent there that we shall forever cherish are but lingering memories now, lasting memories that we shall always hold dear. We have come to the end of a road, and all that remains to us is memories—memories that do not sadden, but foster the hope of a bright and happy future. “For memory has painted these perfect years With colors that never fade; And we find at the end of these perfect years The souls of friends that we’ve made.” CONTENTS Administration .......................Page 10 Organizations ......................

The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him, and without Him was made nothing that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men: and the light shineth in darkness and the darkness did not comprehend it.” (John 1. 1-5) The Class of 1944 dedicates this volume of MEMORIES to JESUS CHRIST, THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD Living in a world darkened by the abysmal chaos of a global war and engulfed in a tide of hatred and lust and bloody conflict, we, being children of such times and being subjected to the violent trials of such conditions, have come to learn through our Catholic education that there is only one “true Light that enlighteneth every man that cometh into this world.” To those who have been instrumental in leading us to recognize this Light, even from our infancy, we offer profound thanks. Not only have we been taught to “walk whilst we have the Light, that the darkness overtake you not”, but we realize our obligation “to enlighten them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death.” We, therefore, consecrate ourselves to our work in the darkness of this world, fully confident of our way, because Christ has said: “Whosoever believeth in me may not remain in darkness.” Hence, we dedicate our lives, our hopes, our MEMORIES to Him who declared: “I AM THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD.” The Mother of God Class Patron: Class Colors: Class Motto: Class Flower: The Mother of God.

Bishop of Altoona “Let every soul be subject to higher powers: for there is no power but from God: and those that are, are ordained of God.” —Romans XIII, I REVEREND THOMAS CAWLEY PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE Graduation from high school is a very important milestone in the life of the average youth. Custom has assigned to it the name com- mencement, and with good reason. Among other things, it is the com- mencement of a life of heavier personal responsibility. Carefree days draw to a close, and serious business lies ahead. Your commencement is coming at a time when world conditions are such as to try men’s souls. In spite of this fact, you are undoubtedly impatient to take your place in the great struggle of life. Danger and hardship hold no terrors for you. These things, you think, only spell adventure. Youth strains at the leash, even when death stalks abroad. It is for youth merely to see visions, while age dreams its dreams. And yet, though I well understand that you know not fear, I ask you solemnly to be afraid. Have one great fear in your soul, as you step out into this war-torn world,—that fear which is spoken of in Holy Writ: “Do not be afraid of those who kill the body, but cannot kill the soul. But rather be afraid of him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.” Matt. X, 28. There are abroad in the world today highly organized and power- ful forces working to destroy men’s souls. These forces are insidious. They strike their most deadly blows under cover, in the dark. They wear the clothing of sheep, but underneath they are ravening wolves. Respect the strength of these forces. Fear the danger they represent. And let your fear be a moving fear. Let it urge upon you careful measures of protection, the while you realize that your battle is “not against flesh and blood, but against the Principalities and the Powers, against the world-rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness on high.” (Ephes. VI-12) Anticipate a hard struggle. Realize that you will earn a livelihood and attain a measure of temporal happiness often at the cost of tears and sweat and blood. But never become so absorbed in the struggle for existence as to forget that you have not here a lasting city,—that this life is only an exile, that your real home is in Heaven, and that there is no profit whatever even to the mm who has gained the whole world, if in doing so he has suffered the loss of his soul. Be assured of this, that you will certainly fail to attain a satisfactory balance between your temporal and eternal interests, unless you will constantly strive to know your religion more thoroughly and to practice it more faithfully. As a means of accomplishing this, may I offer you this threefold resolu- tion : Let one of your aims in life be ever to search out the mind of the Church Let one of your most firm resolutions in life be always to think with the mind of the Church Let your constant practice in life ever be to live in ac- cordance with what the mind of the Church teaches. God Bless You. REVEREND JAMES FITZGIBBON Director of Dramatics REVEREND JOHN O'LEARY Professor of Religion “To live in the midst of the world without wishing its pleasures; to be a member of each family, yet belonging to none; to share all suf- ferings; to penetrate all secrets; to heal all wounds; to go from men to God and offer Him their prayers; to return from God to men to bring pardon and hope; to have a heart of fire for charity and a heart of bronze for chastity; to teach and to pardon, to console and bless always, My God, what a life! And it is yours, O Priest of Jesus Christ!” —Lacordaire THE FACULTY Reverend Thomas Cawley, Principal Reverend James Fitzgibbon Reverend John O’Leary Sister Mary Assumpta, S. S.

Don’t let this influence and joy escape you. If you haven’t begun, let reading mark the beginning of an investment which will pay large dividends in happiness, usefulness, and contentment. National Book Week was celebrated at Catholic High in a fitting way. Posters, illustrating the many books in our Library, graced the corridors as well as the Library. Several of the librarians spoke of the value of good reading over the public address system. The week was climaxed by a Book O’ Week Party held in the gymnasium on Fri- day afternoon. Games, with books given as prizes, were featured. Re- freshments were in order and a tidy little sum was realized from the affair for the Library fund. e The student body is indebted to these senior librarians who have helped them to realize the truth of the quotation: “ ’Tis not how much but how well you read.” Helen Fabic Mary Eva Gallagher Rose Marie Hudak Barbara Marshall Frances Paulus Nancylou Simler Audrey Stager Helen Wolfhope To take the places vacated by these through graduation the fol- lowing underclassmen have been ably trained: Alice Alberter Betty Kopitnick Martha Bach Dorothy Korchnak Martha Brlansky Helen Krezak Mary M.

Especially since the war have missionaries everywhere appealed to Catholic Americans for prayers and funds that they might continue their ever more needed charity. The Mission Unit of our school has responded most graciously to this appeal. A monthly spiritual offering has been made in behalf of this noble cause. The sale of mission magazines to the student body, the gathering of cancelled stamps, the annual skating party and the exceptionally successful Lenten drive for membership in the Catholic Students’ Mission Crusade have kept the students of Catholic High mis- sion-minded and active in a cause dear to the heart of every zealous Catholic. The Mission Society is most grateful to all who have so magnani- mously cooperated in making this a happy and successful Mission year. OFFICERS President........................

And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. Because He hath regarded the humility of His handmaid: for be hold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. Because He that is mighty, hath done great things to me: and holy is His name. And His yiercy is from generation unto generations, to them that fear Him. He hath showed might in His arm; He hath scattered the proud in the conceit of their heart. He hath put down the mighty from their seat, and hath exalted the humble. He hath filled the hungry with good things: and the rich He hath sent empty away. He hath received Israel His servant, being mindful of His mercy.” As He spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his seed forever. Luke I, 46-55 Early in September our Blessed Mother, once again, spread out her mantle to include our Sodality. In the shadow of this garment and under the careful guidance of those in charge, we have carried on the rich traditions of Catholic High. We were off on a fine start with the Hallowe’en Party. Then our bazaar not only measured its success with those of past years but soared a notch higher. We introduced a new practice this year—that of hav- ing the Sodality receive Holy Communion in a body in oneof the local churches. We are certain they presented a pleasing sight to our dear Mother on March 20th. May the Sodality continue this beautiful public act of veneration. As usual the May Crowning was the climax of the year for the Sodality, and was, indeed, a glowing tribute of love and zeal of the Sodalitists. OFFICERS 1943-44 Prefect ..................

Under the capable leadership of Father Cawley the Holy Name Society has progressed much since it was inaugurated here last year. Its initial purpose is to extenuate the desecration of our Lord’s Holy Name. Although the Society is still in its infancy it is doing a great work to stimulate the boys to the realization that spiritual things are the things that really count, and that therein is to be found the source of strength and consolation so sorely needed in the world today. A love of clean speech and a deep reverence for the Holy Name of God will do much to merit for us the blessings of a kind Father.

Vice-Rector, St. Paul’s Monastery, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania April 3rd, 4th, and 5th were memorable days for us seniors. Dur- ing the forepart of Holy Week we made our Annual Retreat. Retreats are not new to us, but somehow this one meant so much more to us than previous ones—perhaps because it was our last before stepping out into the uncertain paths of life. Father Camillus, no doubt sensing this, was very practical in arranging the conferences to suit our needs. All seemed to revolve about the happiness we all want and expect to find here and hereafter. Great stress was placed upon faith in God and in His loving Providence, in the necessity of discovering our vocation in life, and in following it closely; and upon prayer, especially on the wisdom of cul- tivating a true devotion to our Blessed Mother. Much good was had from the private appointments which Father Camillus arranged for the students who had problems to talk over with him. Some of the highlights of the Retreat were the daily offering of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, and reception of Holy Communion, with Benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament following the last confer- ence of the day. On Tuesday we were privileged in having our Lord with us for all-day adoration, and on Wednesday after Father’s closing remarks the Papal Blessing was given, bringing to a close three very memorable days.

Pilgrim, a modern pagan, is led to happiness in the Cave of Bethlehem. Our life is so materialistic and unpoetic that we need, at least once in a while, to lift our hearts to higher ideals, to beauty which has its home above the clouds where the Christ Child comes. “A Child will lead them.” This Christ Child and through Him our children will show us the way from this cold and unpoetic world to true beauty which lies in another world. GOING ON SEVENTEEN The Senior Class presented the novel comedy, “Going On Seven- teen”, under the able direction of the Reverend James Fitzgibbon, In- structor of Dramatics, in the school auditorium April 14th and 16th. This play, a portrayal of young America, is a comedy full of action, humor, and gorgeous characterization. Buddy Carhart, the central character, is a typical American boy of seventeen. The plot revolves about the scheming of Buddy and his two henchmen, Paul and Shrimpy. Together they have launched a new venture—the publication of a mag- azine, “The Harrisville Town Topics”, thanks to the generosity of Mr. Carhart in donating a hand press. The three boys are avowed woman- haters—until Joan and her younger sister, Lillums, arrive during the summer to visit Florence Carhart, a school chum. Lillums, a sixteen- year-old siren quickly splits the tie that binds the “three musketeers.” Skillfully she plays one against the other; turmoil follows. Meanwhile Buddy’s father, a trusted employee of the town’s only bank, becomes involved in a serious shortage. Buddy takes it upon himself to track down the thief, an end he attains only after a series of hilarious misad- ventures. Eventually, the “Harrisville Tonics” scores a sensational scoop and the three young editors are united once more against all wo- mankind—and in particular against Lillums. To cap the climax sister Florence gets the man for whom she has set her cap—a mysterious young millionaire. Cast of Characters Buddy Carhart Florence Carhart Elsa.............

TIME : Afternoon of the same day. The Story Fair Day in Bagdad is marked by the arrival of various visitors, among them Mrs. J. Horace McCann, the new American consul, with her daughter, Elsa, and her daughter’s friend, Anne. Lord Archie Fitzgibbons, an old friend, is also present, and a little later comes Hen- rietta Whipstitch. On being presented to the Caliph and his daughter, Jewel, they learn that an assassin is abroad who carries a bomb con- cealed in a camera, and for this reason all persons with cameras are to be shot immediately. Dick Taylor arrives by airplane from Hollywood, accompanied by his two mechanics, Bob and Bill. They are anxious to find a lovely girl, known only as the Belle of Bagdad, in order to engage her as a moving picture star. They hope to identify her by some small photo- graphs which they carry, and also by an amulet she wears, but in order to make sure they bring a large camera with them to make pictures of all prospects. Dick meets Jewel, who welcomes him cordially, but the two me- chanics meet Ali Ben Mustapha, the chief of police, who sees their cam- era and orders them to be executed forthwith. In order to escape, Bill and Bob resort to disguise, first as Dervishes, and afterwards as mem- bers of the Caliph’s body-guard. While in this latter disguise they man- age to capture the real assassin, and in return for their valor the Caliph orders Jewel to present Dick with the sacred amulet. This serves to identify her as the Belle. Bill and Bob are freed in time to couple with Elsa and Anne, while Henrietta finds solace in the companionship of Ali Ben Mustapha. —32— ATHLETICS —33— “THE CRIMSON CRUSHER” 1943 With a record of five wins against three losses the Crusher was far more impressive than the records show. The season opened with a well-deserved victory over a strong Conemaugh High team. Perhaps the greatest game of the season was played when we met the unbeaten Windber High eleven and really threw a scare into them by scoring on them early in the game and battling with them upon rather even terms until the Crusher wilted under the avalanche of replacements they were able to hurl against us. More reserve strength might have told the difference between victory and defeat, but we lost to a great team which had not dropped one in sixteen games when they appeared on our schedule. Final score: Windber 21—Catholic 6. Victory was forth- coming the following week end when we met Barnesboro on a rain- soaked field. Coach Goldberg’s boys took our archrival, Adams Town- ship in tow next, but St. George’s of Pittsburgh really went down to de- feat by a one-sided score. Using a snappy T-formation Pittsburgh Central broke our short winning streak by defeating us 14-6. The game with North Catholic at Pittsburgh was washed out. Great preparations had been made for this game and a large group of fans had gone to the Smoky City to watch the fray and more than one disappointed Catholic High student hoped that Monday would bring brighter skies and a chance at the highly vaunted Trojans—but this was not to be; telephone communications be- tween the two schools all day Monday kept the student body alert for some favorable announcement over the P. A. system. The announce- ment came and hopes of another trip were dashed. “Games cancelled due to continued wet weather.” Some satisfaction was forth-coming when the St. Vincent Preps came to town. A closely contested game was played with the margin of victory for the Preps a single point after touchdown. The “Crusher” really lived up to its name when the unfor- tunate Mt. Union gridders met our boys in the season’s finale. The starting line-up consisted mostly of seniors who were playing their last game for the Crimson and Gold. Everything they had went into this final bid for victory. Cleats were hung up and uniforms packed in moth balls with the resounding score 54-6 still ringing in their ears. The following seniors closed their grid careers at Catholic High: Stem Quai terback Deter Center Kelly Guard “Boom” Keelan Quarterback Bako Tackle “Jay” Delic Halfback Mayer Halfback Spence End Petrosky Tackle Wildner Fullback Iliek Guard “Tom” Dolan Tackle Curley Guard Bob Keelan Halfback Boldin ................

Victories are held over Ferndale and Windber Jay Vees. VARSITY BASKETBALL The 1944 season promised to be the greatest in Catholic High’s history when Coach Nat Hickey’s basketeers hit the hardwood in the season’s opener with an easy victory over a good Alumni team. As the season progressed thoughts 'turned to the State Crown, but our “Unpredictables” were just that losing the easy ones and playing like real champs when the chips were down. Despite their “in-and-out” record the 19 victories they chalked up earned for them the right to represent the Diocese in the play-offs sponsored by the Pennsylvania Catholic Interscholastic Athletic Association. In this tournament the Crimson and Gold shaved past a mediocre Erie Prep team by a one point margin. They came back, before a packed house, to trim the Trojans of North Catholic, the Pittsburgh entry, who in two previous games had left us on the short end of the score. The tournament victory was doubly sweet for we wiped out those two defeats and earned the trip to Philadelphia to compete in the State finals, with Southeast Catholic of that Citv forming the opposition. Convention Hall saw our athletes live up to the old name, “The Unpredictables” and when the final gun pounded we were on the short end of the score again. Not in vain were ou - efforts, however, for at the Spring meeting of the Board of Directors of the P. C. I. A. A. out- team was officially recognized as Western Champions and a fitting trophy awarded the school. Only two regulars were lost by graduation, Wildner and Spence. To Bill Pavlic, a Junior, goes the honor of being the Ci'ty’s top scorer. Bill’s nearest com- petitor trailed him by more than forty points.

Florence Riley Joyce Rioux RECORDS IN THE MAKING Valeria Rooney Herbert Ruth MARGIE SABO Margie Sabo George Schaefer St. Michael “Margie” Thomas Schaefer Dorothy Schiffhauer DOROTHY SCHIFFHAUER St. Michael Margaret Schelly Francis Schultz “Dot” “Maigie” stubbornly upholds the tradition of Brownstown and St. Michael. Having an early start as part owner of Glosser Brothers, she could undoubtedly become a great business woman with the aid of her cheery disposition, but her one and only desire and ambition in life is to be a good housewife some day. Her desire is simple but her aim is high as one can plainly see. GEORGE SC HAEFER “Tom” Treasurer of Senior Class Our Mother of Sorrows In the presence of George none can speak lightly either of Westmont or of Our Mother of Sorrows where he is the organist. This position has given him a wide range of acquaintances. George is a loyal, trustworthy friend—we hope—for he holds the purse of the class. George is a willing worker and never drops a project until he sees it go over the top. He is usually seen giving evidence to some puzzled person to prove he is not Tom. THOMAS SCHAEFER “George” Our Mother of Sorrows To school work no less than to music for which he has a well-formed taste, Tom applies himself earnestly and with success. This is evident when he dispays his abiity as an organist. An interest- ing speaker on any topic from art and music to the latest fad. But when he says “The last time I dined with the President,” we just politely ignore him. If Tom ever elects politics, beware of being his opponent for he is an old-time campaigner. 57— We are very lucky indeed to have “Dot” as one of our classmates. Because of her generosity and meekness, she has won many close friends. There is never a dull moment when she is around. She believes in the proverb, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” Her him belief is shown by her lunch, which always consists of at least two apples, and sometimes three. MARGARET SHOLLY “Sis” St. Patrick Pleasant, gay, and cheerful describe “Sis” very well. Her unselfish consideration for others has helped many, and her sweet smile and pleasant per- sonality will aid her in whatever work she may undertake. She has displayed considerable skill as a forward on the basketball team. The Class of ’44 wishes “Sis” the best of luck in the world. FRANCIS SCHULTZ “Francis” St. Casimir May we present the Poet Laureate of the Class of ’44. Competent, studious, companionable, he has won the friendship of all. As a writer of clear forceful English, he is unsurpassed in the Senior Class. The secret of his power with the pen is that he is willing to pay the price—mental discipline. We are proud of our “writer” and we are sure that his mental equipment will get him far on the road to prominence. KEEPING UP THE MORALE JO ANNE SEITZ “Seitzie” Jo Anne Seitz St. Joseph Geroge Sellman Jo Anne is a calm, quiet person. She has a pleasant smile for everyone. Her favorite hobbies are reading and going to the movies or writing to her Marine brother. She is always ready to help others, and she is usually seen with Teresa Riffle. Her one great ambition is to become a nurse, and we are sure that Catholic High can be proud of her. GEORGE SELLMAN “George” Immaculate Conception George is a quiet, industrious lad who hails from the hills beyond Westmont. He is rarely seen without his familiar smile. He is always cheerful but yet has an air of seriousness and responsibility about him. His chief interest is aviation and if his day dreams come true, he will be piloting in the airy spheres. Dependability is one of the strong traits of his char- acter. May he reach the highest cloud. ROSALIE SERIO “Rosie” St. Columba “Rosie” is noted for her pleasant manner as well as her cheerful outlook on life. Her outstanding feature is her long red hair which she wears in many becoming coiffures. She is an ardent bowler and can be seen at all the football games. Throughout her four years at Catholic High she has made a host of friends, because of her pleasing personality. Best of luck, “Rosie.” WILBERT SHARRETTS “Junie” St. Joseph Wilbert is a regular fellow, and one of the best kind of friends. His favorite pastime is roller-skating and he is usual- ly seen on his way to the Grove. He loved to eat and usually did so with great gusto. He left us at the semester to enter the service of Uncle Sam. We hope that the Navy appreciates our loss. —59— NANCYLOU SI ML ER “Nancylou” Our Mother of Sorrows Nancylou will always be remembered for her amazing skill in being able to do her school work with such ease and accuracy. Her personality is charming and her talents and scholastic achieve- ments are numerous. Her writing ability has won her much fame and given Catholic High recognition. She is now majoring in chemistry at Junior Pitt. Look for her in the future among the well known chemists. DONALD SPENCE “Don” We did not have the pleasure of enrolling “Don” in our class until the junior year. His quiet and dignified manner has been noted by all and has won him many friends. He has shown his ability in sports by being represented on both the basketball court and the football field. Let us hope that his calm and reserved nature will be helpful in provid- ing him with great success in life. GEOROE SHELLY “Genius” Visitation Geoi-gc distinguished himself as the only boy that could sleep during a class and still make ninety- nine percent in the period test. Tall, broad-minded, and easy to like, he is a true friend of his associ- ates. George left the Alma Mater at the semester to answer the call of God and become a Jesuit. Good luck, George, from the 116 other seniors. MARIAN SMITH “Smittie” Visitation A darling lass, with a charming way. Her con- tagious smile and twinkling eyes make her a popu- lar lady. She also possesses an abundance of wit and ready humor. Marian is a warm, generous friend whose only fault, if we may call it such, is that she sometimes neglects her own interests to look out for others. Her ability in acting was brought out by her portrayal of “Lillums” in the class play. She takes things in their stride and is an active participator in class activities. JOHN SLOAN “Jack” St. John Gualbert His mastery of dancing makes Jack one of our outstanding boys. His charming smile and pleasing ways are the only characteristics he has ever dis- played, and gloom is not in his vocabulary. He was a valuable asset as manager and friendly adviser of the footbll team. He is a true comrade and faith- ful companion. May his joys be many and his sor- rows few. MARY CATHERINE SMITH “Kay” St. Patrick A good-looking girl, well-balanced mentally and socially, “Kay” proved an ideal classmate for all of us. Well known for her cooperation in sports, she is usually seen skating at Roseland or playing bas- ketball in our gym. May the world treat you, ‘Kay,” with as much kindness as you have treated others. Rosalie Serio Wilbert Sharretts Nancylou Simler George Skelly John Sloan Mary Catherine Smith Marian Smith Donald Spence mmmm CLAIR STAIR “Staib” St. John Gualbert Clair, best known because of his excellent trumpet playing both in band and orchestra, is one of the tallest of the senior boys. His most noticeable characteristics are his ready smile and his quick sense of humor. He is a capable dancer although he does not go in for “jitterbugging.” His great ambition at present is to join the Navy. When he goes we will all miss him for he has a great many friends. AUDREY STAGER “Steg St. Patrick With the personality of a leader, “Steg” is full of fun. She is not only a lassie who is a whiz at roller skating but her bas- ketball ability is unlimited, not to mention her genius at solv- ing mathematical problems. But don’t tease her too much for she is quick to lose her temper. “Steg” has the sincerest wishes of the Class of ’44. CHARLOTTE STANKO Charlie” St. Michael Though Charlotte’s voice is seldom heard, her presence is always felt. Courtesy, gentleness, and refinement of manner are hers. We hope you will glide gracefully through the rough spots of life with the sincerest wishes of the Class of ”44 ring- ing tunefully in your ears. RUTH STEIN “Ruthie St. Patrick A pretty red-haired Miss whose favorite activities are play- ing a fiddle and skating. “Ruthie” participated in girls’ bas- ketball and proved very capable. Since her entrance into Cath- olic High, she has been in the orchestra and it will be lost without her able assistance. Her future will be an undeniable success if she continues displaying such outstanding qualities as she has during her stay here. Audrey Stager Clair Staib PREPAREDNESS FIRST, LAST, AND ALWAYS Charlotte Stanko Ruth Stein Richard Stem Cosma Sunseri Joan Thomas Robert Trabold Irene Urban Joan Vance RICHARD STEM “Dick” St. Stephen “Dick” is Brownstown’s finest contribution to Catholic High. He can usually be seen harmoniz- ing with a group of classmates. Dick is a natural athlete and gloom killer. Though sports seem to be one of his main interests, no man loves an argu- ment more than he. His ability to come out on top, in this as in everything else, prophesies a bril- liant future. COSMA SUNSERI “Cosma” Our Lady of Mercy Cosma lures her friends by her enchanting eyes. She is usually seen studying and is a persevering worker at whatever she undertakes. She always acts the part of a young lady and we are sure she will be a success in whatever work she undertakes. Her favorite saying is, “You’re bold. JOAN THOMAS “Jo St. Joseph Joan is quiet, ambitious, and industrious. She is not always quiet, however; once in a while she comes out of her shell, as it were, and bombards us with some delightful humor. “Jo is an accom- plished ice-skater; her ambition is to become a nurse. We wish her every success in a dignified profession. ROBERT TRABOLD “Boh St. Joseph “Bob is a very handsome and well built lad. Catholic High’s best drummer, he may usually be seen in the gym beating it out. Like all musicians, he is temperamental, but his friends understand him. May he become famous in the field of music but never forget his school friends. To you, Rob- ert, we wish every success in the future and may God bless you. IRENE URBAN «Rente” St. Joseph “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy is Irene’s slogan. Brown-haired, green-eyed Irene is the life of any crowd. Her witty humor and laugh- ter contribute no little to the spirit of the class. But during the class periods she has no time for jokes. Any other time she can change a blue Mon- day into a bright shiny day, if we only give her a chance. JOAN VANCE “j0” St. Stephen Joan, one of the smallest lassies in the Senior- Class, is considered one of the jolliest and outstand- ing figures. She is ever ready for a good laugh and beckons all to join. Joan always gives a helping hand when the occasion arises. Petite Joan is a very true friend indeed. Keep up this work in the future, Joan, and may God guide you. —61— —62— CAROLYN WALKO “Cary” Vice-President of Senior C'lavSS St. Casimir An air of grace and poise surrounds Carolyn at all times. Vice-President of the class, she is a busy woman, but she shows a lighter side of life, too. She is a credit to her Alma Mater. Carolyn has a personality that shines and a smile that bright- ens the dullest of moments. She is ever willing to be of service to all. MARIE WARNER Marie St. John Gualbert Marie is one of the many studious girls who are taking up work in the commercial field. Her curly hair and sparkling eyes are noticed by everyone. She is always neat in appear- ance and has the ability of making others happy. Her person- ality and her ability to make friends and keep them will keep her moving along the road to future success and happiness. Carolyn Walko Marie Warner KARL WELDNER “Doc” St. Joseph At rare intervals we come across a lad who is a born athlete. Just such an individual is “Doc.” His pleasant man- ner and wavy hair have won him many friends. Usually found where there is noise and excitement, he is always ready to pass a joke or “kid” his friends along. With his mind set for the Navy let’s wish “Doc” smooth sailing. BETTY LOU WIDMANN “Farmer” St. Benedict Coming all the way from the outlying section of Geistown, “Farmer” is a cheerful addition to the class. She is proud of her nickname and loves the “sticks.” Her strong character and pleasing personality have acquired for her many friends. She is an ardent lover of football and a genuine “go-getter.” This very willingness to work, in addition to her ability to give and take, reassures us that Betty Lou will succeed. —63— HELEN WOLFHOPE “Helen” St. Patrick Helen is one of the more efficient members of our class. With her reserved and refined manner she has won many friends among the girls and boys. Besides being an expert guard on the girls’ basket- ball team she shows a keen interest in the boys’ basketball and football teams. She, also, has proved very capable in her role as drum majorette. Her outstanding leadership has been greatly promoted by her pleasant personality. Beginning her career in the commercial field let us wish Helen the best of luck. ROSEMARY WYAR “Rosie” St. Michael “Rosie” is very generous and well liked by every- one. She is usually seen writing letters to H. H. She is always with the Brownstown Gang. “Rosie” is always willing to lend a helping hand and she writes excellent poetry but doesn’t like to have it published. “Rosie” is dreaming of the time when the war is over and she can settle down. WILLIAM YOUNG “Bill” St. Michael “Bill” is rarely seen without his familiar smile. He is always cheerful yet he has an air of serious- ness and responsibility about him. He is well liked by his friends. He has studied airplanes so thor- oughly that he can identify all of them and give their classifications. His sturdy build makes him the envy of his classamtes. All the luck in the world to you, Bill.

Among those whose studies were in- terrupted to answer the call of Uncle Sam before completing their course were William Coyle, Richard Corona, and Alphonse Riffle who left us dur- ing our Junior year. Tom Dolan an- swered the call on the third of Janu- ary, 1944. “They also serve.” SENIOR TRIUMPHS During the scholastic year several noteworthy achievements were recorded by some of our classmates. In the recent Diocesean Historical Contest sponsored by the “Altoona Register” first prize honors were di- vided between two students of the diocesean high schools, one cf whom was Barbara Bogovich of Johnstown Catholic High. In this same con- test Francis Schultz, another senior, won third place honors. Thus two of the three prizes coming to our school, and two of the total of five awarded were claimed by our fellow classmates. Along literary lines some measure of success was also attained. Nancylou Simler, in the statewide New Year’s editorial writing contest sponsored by the Pennsylvania Newspaper Publishers Association in co-operation with the Pennsylvania State College Department of Journ- alism, was awarded third prize for District Number Five. District Num- ber Five embraces the whole of southeastern Pennsylvania. The poets were not to be denied. Three of them: Agnes Boxler. Florence Riley, and Francis Schultz had the distinction of having some of their verse published in the “High School Anthology of Poetry”. National acclaim was also accorded two of our musicians when the twin organists, the Schaefer brothers, were featured in Catholic publi- cations from coast to coast. -70- LADY WINTER Lady Winter, O so cold, Lady Winter, O so bold, Lady Winter, Thou chill my heart. Lady Winter, please depart. —Francis Schultz FAITH FROM A DOVE Upon the branch there sat a dove, Singing his song to God; And all who heard his song of love Bent their knee to the sod. —Agnes Boxler YEARNING I’m lonely for the country Where the blossoms fall, And the golden bells of jonquils Gleam in grasses green and tall. Here I walk on dingy pavements Hard and cold beneath my feet; No quick glimpse of shy arbutus With its fragrance soft and sweet. —Florence Riley LIFE—LOVE IT AND LIVE IT Death comes to all; So we should love our life. Death comes so soon; So very soon. O complain not, when grief surrounds thee Or gloom encloses thy mind, For death shall sweep Both bitter grief and Hunted joy away. So take thy life As it is given From the Hand of Him Who knows That when death comes Thou shalt not grieve: For thou hast lived thy life And loved it. —Francis Schultz 71- ALUMNI RELIGIOUS PRIESTS Reverend Paul Bogovich..........Holy Trinity Church, East Chicago, Ind.
