Our days of parting now have come For this is the year of °41, Those happy days have now all fled; With new-found hopes we push ahead. Before we go, our voices raise, Our Alma Mater, with love and praise. With heart so brave, and wistful sigh, We bid farewell to Johnstown High.

NIORS SE Bh, WW FLORENCE GARFALL Valedictorian HARRY LIGHTHALL Salutatorian CLASS DOEM Up the rugged path of knowledge, We have traveled four long years; Climbing upward, ever upward, Up, in spite of many fears. “Twas a rosy path, they told us, Flowers blooming by the way; But of thorns we found a plenty ‘As we traversed day by day. Rough, projecting rocks encountered, Oft made difficult the climb; And we stumbled as we coun tered, Pushing forward every time. Now our aim has been accomplished, We have reached the mountain's top! There behold the lovely vista, As for breath we pause to stop. Great reward awaits the climber, Recompense for work well done, Happiness and satisfaction, Remuneration for each one. LOIS TEN EYCK oon oA aA On, fearing I. AS. We are the Senior Class. We are like the sun that sets on a warm and glorious day. We have had three full years to shine. We have many enjoyable hours to remember and one last great one to which to look forward—Senior Week. Our accomplishments have warmed our hearts and given us courage to face tomorrow. Fondly tucked away in our purple and gold memory books are visions of the Senior Mixer, New Year's Eve dance, and oh yes! the Senior Play, successes one and all. Fonder still is the memory of a 25 to 6 victory over— what was their name? Among the first of our accomplishments was the demo- cratic decision of who was to be our officers. Herbert Pat- terson, president; Leonard Dye, vice-president; Ellen Leach, secretary; Robert Stowe, treasurer; and Florence Garfall, assistant treasurer, proved our choices wise ones. At times we have even been able to study and ap- proach with not too much uncertainty those fire-breathing monsters, the regents examinations. Thusly, we have spent our time in study and in play and feel prepared for the more serious task before us. We leave you, Sophs and Juniors, the joys and heart- breaks that were ours. Better still, we leave you the fine tradition that is Johnstown High School. We leave joy- fully yet regretfully, and as we leave we thank you, Mrs. Dunlap, Mrs. Jewell and all the rest who have done so much and received so little. —James Stewart. i | ' fi ABEL, LEIGH H. 22 Parkwood Avenue Able but not willing Winter Sports Club (3); Stage Mgr. of Senior Play (4); Baseball (3,4); Football (4); Intra- mural Basketball (2,3,4); Football Award (4).

FAREWELL TO OUR ALMA MATER Farewell, our Alma Mater, Farewell to haunts so dear, Farewell to times we'll ne'er forget, Farewell to friends sincere. In spite of what our aims may be In spite of where we roam; Our thoughts will oft reflect on thee, Our true scholastic home. Farewell, our Alma Mater, The purple and the gold. May your colors always linger In our memories, brave and bold. NANCY BUTLER hes SENIOR WEER ACTIVITIES SUNDAY, JUNE 22: Baccalaureate Sermon. MONDAY, JUNE 23: 8:00 P.M. Class Day.

Senior Banquet and Ball at Hotel Johnstown. | | COMMENCEMENT VERSE IMPRESSIONS Once again June is upon us And the world in a voice calm and clear Is calling for more sons and daughters To face life mid sorrow and fear. And the sorrow that fills the hearts Of us who depart from these halls Will be lessened as time marches onward And finds us within other walls. A few will go on to college, And some will work just to live, But each to the world of the future A measure of strength will give. MARION VEDDER. + + t Though we know that the Alma Mater Will carry on as of old, We realize we'll miss the spirit Represented by the Purple and Gold. CHARLES FARRAR t s t Soon I'll be freed from this “‘dear’’ old school, Freed from the irksome teacher's rule, No more disturbance of my slumber deep In classes where I| can’t help but sleep. No more dry talk of Washington Instead of flyrod or a gun. Also—no homework shall there be, From such bonds as these | shall be free, To sit and dream the whole day long Without interruption from a blaring gong. No more shall I be a humble slave, Forced to listen to scholars rave. There'll be just the mellow old world passing by Bringing with its years a lullaby. So anxiously | wait for the month of June— For me, it can’t come too soon! PAUL SEDAL t t t Graduation! That much-sought day. For three long years in every way We've worked and waited till we were done, Only to find we've just begun. TOM BRIGGS t t We'll always remember you, Johnstown High, Even when many years have rolled by. Farewell, Alma Mater, to which we are true, May your halls ever echo with our praises for you. . JEAN SCHREIBER From here where are we going? For what are we heading now? Are we going to war or to college? Or like our ancestors follow the plow? The road to success is a long one, It’s covered with hardships and pain; The other is easy and shorter, Just like a wide smooth lane. The first makes men, not cowards. It makes them straight and strong; The other breeds death and destruction, And men who will do wrong. So I urge you to take the first path Of the two of which | will tell, The reward will be greater and richer, For it will be heaven—not hell. ROBERT SALTSMAN + + + We entered these portals in our sophomore year, With a feeling of hope and yet of fear. As juniors this feeling of awe was dispelled, As against condescension we justly rebelled; The event of the year was the Junior Prom, With girls so dovey and boys with aplomb; So seniors we are and hope to be Until the spring will set us free! PATRICIA ROBINSON t £ t Farewell, all Juniors, and Sophomores, too, We're sure there's fun in store for you, So don’t be gloomy, and don’t you fret, You have days ahead that you'll ne’er forget. BETTY ANTIS + + t I've often said, “School makes me mad; When I get out I'll be so glad!” Many times it was said in spite When homework took me half the night. I, for one, will be sorry to go, To leave the friends whom I| now know. Of course, I'll see them once in a while, But all we'll say is ““Hello’’ and smile. After we leave where will we go? What will we do? Whom will we know? The answers to these I wish I knew Perhaps then I wouldn't feel so blue. ROSE WALLACE JIENTOR WILL We, the Senior Class, being of sound and disposing mind and memory, do make, publish and declare this our last WILL AND TESTA- MENT, in manner following, that is to say: We, the Senior Class of 1941, do hereby bequeath the following to the Junior and Sophomore members of Johnstown High School. First, to Helene Endesfelder, we give Milton Allen's ability to do his Latin before class period; to Sarah Brunetto, that vivacious little girl, Eugenia Anagnostopolus’ quiet unassum- ing air; and Eleanor Brothers’ capacity to keep the money matter straight in dealing with office funds goes to the next office girl with Eleanor’s best wishes. Next, we leave to Esther Farrant all of Antonia Brunetto’s smiles and good cheer, even though she already has her share of both. We can only offer solace to Professor Wilcox, who is going to miss Bob DeWitt’s smiling face, which haunts him now. Bob always had that look, especially when those answers just wouldn't come to mind. Well, Prof.’ maybe you will be able to find someone to take Bob’s place!!! We think that Dorothea Chisek will be able to use some of Janet Dwel- ly’s gift of gab, and Florence Morley rates Flo Garfall’s athletic ability with the Seniors’ wish that she will go even further in sports. Second, to George Coates goes a few of Don Hale’s muscles, plus Milton Hamm’s competence in basketball; to Richard Bow- man we give a few of Anna John’s famous gig- gles; and Elaine Patterson is lucky enough to receive some of Iona Duross’ steadiness in boy friends. Some of you more popular girls really should leave a few of the boys around school so that some of the more unfortnuate could have a chance. Philip Santangelo inherits Gor- don Hess’ smiling countenance. Louise Husted’s and Sam Liccardi’s smaller statures and quietness we leave to Enio Ermie, who we feel sure needs them. Sorry, Enio! Mary Sarris will get Mary Marshall’s ability to bowl. Better luck next year, Mary. Third, we do give and bequeath to Johnny Kubina, Steve Kovarovic’s neat appearance; to Blase Jurica, Olga Kumpan’s ability to be seen and not heard; and to John Subik, Steve Kra- lovic’s skill in football. Have a good season, John, and help win every game. We leave to the Sweethearts of good old J. H. S. the touching memories of Doris McClelland and Karl Miller. To Louis Coulter goes Harry Lighthall’s freckles, and George Oliver inherits Ellen Leach’s science ability. We feel sure that he can raise the marks. From Harold Sprung, Joe Precopio gets basketball competence, we really don’t think he needs it. All of the boys of Johnstown High get a little of Wendell Seller's neat appearance and _ good-looking clothes. Some of them certainly need them!!! We give to Art Liska, Steve Smolik’s intelli- gence, and to Fred Troutwine we are very glad to leave Paul Sedal’s hatred of the women. Fourth, we pass on to Douglas Fredericks, Jimmy Sleezer's love of outdoor sports; to Kay Swears, Eddie Smida’s definite decisions. We bestow upon Madlyn Marlette, Josephine Lesa’s ability to dance; to Tremaine Abel, Herb Patterson's personality; and to Peggy Blethen we give Irene Malcovic’s charm!! Gloria Sut- ton will get Peg Martin’s famous dimples to complete her “‘glamor-girl’’ style. Next, we leave Mike Subik’s good nature to Dick Maxian; Cliff Robinson's height to Walt Oare; and Kay Grant's sophistication to Judy Harrison. Tony D’Antonino’s interest in the out of town girls will be gladly received by John Entellisano. We leave to Jean Cobb, Betty Antis’ ability to remain on her feet while she is roller skating; to Shirley Dutcher, the unique typing of Betty Van Sickler; and to Sam Spano, Tom Parker leaves his basketball! competence. Lastly, Eloise Parsons inherits Shirley Flynn’s charm and brilliance; Joe Hancher gets Car- mello Rizzo's everlasting good nature; and Rita McEvoy will g et Dorothy Denmark's powers of attraction. Florence Billa will be glad to have Harriet Zilka take over her commercial ability. Marion Adams will leave her habit of starring to Margaret Zayicek, and Burton Putman will keep J. H. S. guessing by playing some of Richard Hood’s practical jokes. Don Curtis will welcome Stuart Austin’s intelligence, and Bill Way leaves his musical ability to Virginia Burtch. We hope that Martin Gonyea has as good luck at basketball management as George Stata has had in the past year. Lane Smith is bestowed Joe Fiorito’s dancing ability. To Patricia Kline goes Betty Bowman’s sweet smile, while Myrtle Cook is generous enough to leave her basketball ability to Betty Quackenbush. Don’t be too bashful to use it, Betty. Irene Komorny asks that her self-confidence be given to Richard Fosmire, who is sadly in need of it, and William Allfrey receives Mary Krajcirs’ energy and desire to be helpful. One much needed bequest is Bob McCar- thy’s good marks to John Entelisano. Use them, John, and graduate in 42. To Minnie Marcellus goes Marion Mussey’s office position, and Alfred Mullen’s ambition is gladly given to Jerry Little. Rasen Bp grea — Tr —- a To the faculty we give our thanks and ap- preciation for their many kindnesses and their forgiveness for our many thoughtless mistakes Witnesses: Shirley Flynn, Carolyn Hespelt, Andrew Zayicek. In witness whereof, we have hereunto set our hands and sealetheles 4285 ls et. day of Cree tee OF Ne 8 Sask TP , in the year one thou- sand nine hundred and forty-one. TEE SENIOR CEASS. BEQUESTS As the Class of ’41 leaves its alma mater, they desire to give to some of its members treas- ured mementoes of their stay here. We hope they will guard these gifts carefully and appreciate them fully. We, the Class of 41, present to: Leigh Abel—A miniature pool table so he can practice up and eventually win, at least some of the time. William Anagnastopulos—A rear view mirror so he can tell when someone is pinning a KICK ME sign on his back. Nancy Butler—An English book with all the answers and explanations in it, so that Mr. Cole won't have to work overtime. Louis Coco—A new invention which would register the questions which have already been asked in any class and save him em- barrassment. Stuart Curtis—A pocket sized world’s almanac so he can quickly look up all sorts of figures and quote them to his teachers in college, thereby making sure he’s correct first. Vincent Falivino—A list of the first names of all the girls so he won't have to call them “Miss.”’ Elbert Freeman—A magnifying glass to help him find ‘“‘Nell’’ more easily and without dis turbing the entire chapel program. Henry House—A good rubber stamp with his parents signatures in case he has to have any excuses signed in later life. James Kilmer—A pack of writing paper and some 3-cent stamps so that he may continue his correspondence with his dashing Sam- monsville acquaintance. + Charles DeWitt—A box of vitamin tablets, for he is such a frail-looking young man. Josephine Ruggeri—Brighter shade of lipstick to make her look more glamorous. Alfred Ressico—A bottle of Fitch’s Brilliantine for his unruly hair. Charles Farrar—A booklet containing lessons on one-armed driving so it wouldn’t be so hard on Iona. Francis Carsky—A booklet on how to wear a smile and keep one. Arlene Johns—A new date book, so when she gets tired of the boy friend she could have someone new instead of having to fall back on Bud. Aloys Pollak—A horn or bell so people would know he was around. Virginia Sammons—A make-up kit of brighter shades and a booklet on “‘How to dress for school.”’ Dominic Russo—A booklet on “How to win friends and influence people.” Kenneth Wagschal — A mouthpiece, so we would know he was around. Concetta Rizio—A pair of stilts so she would look more grown-up. Eleanor Solar — A Southern accent, so she won't be out of place in Virginia. Eleanor Eagan—ldentification card to distin- guish her from Ethel Pelosi. Helen Gutta—Answer papers from which to do her work. Jean Schrieber—A new car because the old one is nearly worn out. Robert Milford—A course in salesmanship, so that he may successful put across the bene- fits of the “31’’ Club to his fellow school- mates. Margaret Mussey — Another twin sister like Marion, only this time one that looks exact- ly like her, so they can change places once in a while. Marjorie Rowles—A straight jacket, so that when she is reciting in class she won't be able to squirm around so much in her seat. David Sponenberg—A dressmaker’s dummy, so he can practice beforehand what he’s going to say to a girl, in order to make more intelligent conversation. Iva Stock—Another date with a certain 6 ft. blonde, so she can further tell him “‘where to get off at.” Walter Theurer—A can of pale pink paint, so he may further camouflage his pride and joy. And we do mean his truck. Fred Fisher—An automatic hand which he can attach to his car and which will wave to people so that he won't have to bother speaking to them. Doris Curran—A little self-control for a des- perate situation. Or if that won’t work, a rolling pin might. Betty Jeans—Some will power, so that next time Jimmy commands her to ‘“‘come here,” she won't have to obey. Mary Kubina—A tube of toothpaste in case the shine ever wears off, and also a box of shoe polish for the same purpose. Jimmy Stewart — A milk pail and a stool. Maybe some day he'll be able to milk Kil- mers imaginary cow. Leonard Polmateer—A sign to be mounted on his desk in History Class stating that Leon- ard is present so that Mr. McFadden will be aware of that fact. Leonard Dye—A good detective, preferably from Fultonville, to watch him wherever he goes. Tom Briggs — Some encouragement to enter the ministry and, after he has entered, a new prayer book and a coat that will fit him. Mona Crisfield—A bunch of Infantile Paraly- sis Signs to keep as souvenirs because peo- ple tell her that the girl on them looks like her. And she believes it. Carlton Allen—The ability to say “‘No’”’ and mean it, when pretty girls ask him for free bike rides at Sherman's this summer. Betty Sarno — A case in which to keep the medals that Jimmie brings home to her. Theresa Hennelly—A car, so that she would be able to run up to Canajoharie now and then in case Bucky should break his leg again. Irene Atkinson—A job at the ribbon counter of the 5 and 10-cent store, so she can al- ways have a lot of beaux around. Mildred Edwards—A brass button from a po- liceman’s uniform as a constant reminder. Carrie Stock—A position at the Superb so she can keep her eye on Harold. David Vedder—A girl who lives by Sir Wm. Johnson’s whose chief hobby is bicycle rid- ing, to keep him company on his long ex- cursions to school. Josephine Simek—Roller skates, as she lives so far. Robert Stowe—A hoe, to help him in his work at Cornell. Mathilda Stroud—A record, playing for her to practice square dancing. Lois Ten Eyck—A megaphone, to make her- self heard. Audrey Wallace—A medal for helpfulness. Katherine White—A book on optimism. Ernest Granetz—High hat and cane to go with his suave manners. The Class of ’41 hope these gifts will be of great benefit to its classmates. If properly used by each individual, their future will be much brighter and their success assured. ELOISE HEDDEN, IRENE ATKINSON, MARION ADAMS. PROPHECY FOR CLASS OF 1941 It was a very hot day. As I was driving along the road | suddenly saw a large field in which there were several large golden mounds of new mown hay. | stopped the car on the side of the road, and walked through the field. Settling myself comfortably against a haystack, | began to watch the clouds roll by. As people will when they gaze at fluffy clouds against their azure back- ground, I began to think of happy days gone by. I thought of Johnstown High School and the people | knew there. Then I began to think of them as | know them today—19 years later. Robert Webb, formerly one of the shyest boys in school, is now a rising young lawyer— who sways the audience with his waves in- stead of his oratory. Katherine Wilson is working in the meat mar- ket, helping her father sell baloney. Joe Beno, following in his father’s footsteps, is the owner of a chain of diners where he features hamburgers and Italian spaghetti. Everson Vosburgh is working in a furniture store demonstrating how _ comfortable Beautyrest mattresses are. Patty Robinson, after long years of study under the watchful eye of Kathleen Norris, has just published her first novel, “The Life and Love of Glamorous Gloria.”’ Some of my former classmates have married and settled down in other communities. For instance, Valera Hlozansky is now living in Johnson City, while Caroline Hespelt resides in Perth. Arlene Bostwick, though married, still claims Johnstown for her home. r } Virgil Kennedy has advanced his position from that of paper carrier to that of advertising manager on Leader-Republican staff. Elton Osborne is another fellow who has a raise in position as well as salary. No longer clerk at the grocery counter, he is now manager of the local Super Market. Valera Zayicek owns a shop in which she teaches young socialites how to become super glamor girls. Grace Steenburgh is her assistant. Muriel Schumann’s class of piano students in- creases day by day. William Suchy has joined his elder brother John as mail carrier at the local post office. Eloise Hedden works as inquiring reporter for the Leader-Republican. Shirley Jones is a surgical nurse in a large hos- pital. Perhaps the surgeons run handsomer than the ordinary M. D.’s. James Putman is advertising a new type of quiet college where they use nothing but Indian signs. Ethel Pelosi has started a charm school which many local girls are patronizing. Clayton Lathers is still trying to win the hun- dred yard dash, but just can’t get around to starting. Betty Dailey is experimenting with new shoes equipped with springs to keep her bouncing. Ray Edwards has just started his tenth year writing his own version of “I dreamt | Dwelt in Marble Halls.’’ Steve Sofka has just signed a movie contract to appear in the new version of “Huckle- berry Finn.” Marion Hayes has just started writing her own novel, entitled ““T'oo Many Sailors.”” Do you get what I mean? Joe Torrisi is now the proprietor of the town’s most popular poolroom, where the married men go to escape their domestic cares and tribulations. We find Bob Saltsman and his two assistants busily cutting hair. We constantly find Pudge Sheehan with a smudge of grease on his face as the result of trying to be a garage mechanic. Look who is behind a hot dog stand! It’s Claire Sahut, who has decided to become a maiden lady because no man is worthy. Jack Wells and Veronica Divijak have organ- a partnership called “‘Comfort for Lonely Hearts.” Jim Quinlan is known as the hermit of Lonely Mountain. Kenny Wood’s book of poems, “‘Life in a Small Town,” has just been published by Gordon Hess. Dorothy France, noted for her gorgeous blue eyes and her schoolgirl complexion, models for Andy Zayicek’s popular daily comic strip. Willis Cross was promoted head janitor in dear old J. H. S. since Jack Mayette retired. Playboy Bud McCaffrey was seen entering a Manhattan night club where Dorothy Nare was a hat check girl and Sunshine Kline was a special attraction. George Stata, now a local business man, has in his employ two of his former classmates— Josie DiSi and Betty Roarick. Don Foster is employed as office boy in the same con- cern. Rose Wallace, once a plain everyday ordinary garden variety (quoted from “Memoirs to Madam Saunders’’) .clerk at Newberry’s, is now head bookkeeper. Emily Klena is an assistant to a dentist, forcing others to be quiet so she can talk. We see Tom MeNicholas playing in an orches- tra and using higher math to arrange dates correctly, while in the orchestra is George Remais—a second Kreisler. Doris Naylor is raising a family to help out in the meat market. Margaret Northover has organized a women’s club and has Avis Rhodes as a traveling companion. Charles Pedrick is now head of the telephone company. Helen Tlustachowska is now a very efficient private secretary. Marion Veeder is now editing a book of poems. Madolyn Van Alstyne is now modeling dresses. Harriet Witzke is the head of an orphanage, while Nina Melita is head of a women’s re- form movement. But suddenly a loud clap of thunder brought me to a realization that a storm was approach- ing and I must leave my musing and be on my way. Ah me, lives of my classmates have changed as has the weather, but still they have followed well their motto of 41, ““To be rather than to seem.” Eleanor Kline, Theresa Hennelly, Thomas McNicholas.

Robert Milford _ Rev. Mr. Spelvin Thomas R. Briggs Mr. Jamison Albert McCaffrey On April 4, 1941, the Senior Class presented to a well-filled auditorium its annual play, “Stop, Thief!’ by Carlyle Moore, a highly entertaining farcical fact in three acts, directed by Miss Charlotte E. Becker. The antics of the Carr family in attempting to hold a wedding, keep track of Mrs. Carr’s ear trumpet, hold in check a kleptomaniac father, and calm the excited prospective bridegroom, provided complications that grew as the play advanced. Just as things appeared to be straightened out the arrival of a pair of jewel thieves who professed to be servants, soon followed by detectives, plunged the Carrs into a fresh quandary. The arrival of the police at a most inopportune time, accompanied by Mr. Jamison, who has lost some stocks entrusted to the relapsed kleptomaniac, Mr. Carr, spoiled the plans of Nell and Doogan. Nevertheless all ended hap- pily—the police were outwitted, the thieves confessed, and Madge and James, Joan and Dr. Willoughby, and Nell and Doogan were united in marriage. UNDERGRADS A ve | } History an the | la LING ( - As the government of the French Republic collapsed in the Fall of 1940, the Class of ’42 of Johnstown High School organized, with Walter Oare, president; John Subik, vice-president; Constance Lehman, secretary, and Henry Baker, treasurer. While Hitler babbled his many orations we also ex- hibited our talent in public speaking. The winners of first place were Florence Morley, reciting the amusing ““X Marks the Sport;’’ Richard Duross, a humorous satire on psychia- irists, ““When the Neuroses Bloom.”’ Frances Dennison and Earl Hathfield were adjudged runners-up with their pieces “At the Sign of the Cleft Heart’’ and “‘Finnerty Holds the Meeting for the Candidate.”’ Christmas season finally came with the “‘jivin’ ”’ Jun- iors right in the spirit, giving a successful dance for the upper and lower class “‘rug-cutters.”’ Junior Joe Oliver captained our undefeated Football team and Joe Precopio, also a Junior, was elected captain of the Basketball team. On April fool’s day the much-awaited-for rings ar- rived amid the excitement of the oncoming Easter Vacation.’ Then came the Spring festivities. Although the night life of Paris remained dimmed from black-outs, that of Johnstown blazed forth gloriously. The interest centered about the Colonial Club, where the most brilliant and spec- tacular event of the year took place on May 9th—the Junior Prom. ELAINE PATTERSON JUNIOR VERSE THE PLOWMAN’S SONG Giddup, Molly, we'll hafta git a move on If we're ever to git this field done today. Hold up thar, you can’t take a mouthful Of the grass all along the way. Git over thar! Can’t you walk steady enough To plow a furrow straight and clean? Ya know, Molly, ole girl, in spite of all the yellin’ I hafta do to make you work, | like ya. An’ | like plowin’ ‘though it makes me tired ‘nough To want to lay right down in the shade to rest. Yes, I love to turn the rich brown earth In straight clean furrows, my very best. An’ love to watch the birds swing low To catch the grubs that crawl below. Workin’ out here from dawn ‘til dark I have heaps of time for thinkin’ And think I do—'bout most everything, Politics or heaven, my family ‘n world affairs. And | git to thinkin’ it'd be a heap improved If more could work in this here groove. They'd walk right through their troubles and cares In the strengthening’ quiet of nature. How foolish is the human race To kill ’til we're all done in. Oh, why do big nations send armies a-rollin’ Cross half the entire earth To seek for a lost freedom and peace When it’s right here all the time if they'd look? But giddup, Molly, we can’t stand here a-dreamin’ When there’s all this work to be done. For me these things ain't got no meanin’, We'll hafta leave it to the leaders and thinkers, So git a move on, Molly, and we'll git our job done, This work of a-plowin’ the ground. Then tomorrow, day after, we'll sow the seed ’round And you'll have some fine oats next fall. —SIBIL FONDA GUESS WHO? She can always be found at that popular store, Where mention of school work is considered a bore; Where both boys and girls crack corny jokes, While their pals are consuming cherry cokes. Here we find her tall and slender, Waiting for all the boys to surrender; Fashionable in her full tweed skirt, Her girl friends think she’s a terrible flirt. She talks continually of her dates And the boys she is considering for her mates. She likes them fat, she likes them thin; She likes them even with a dimpled chin. She eyes with a method both old and young, While others have their praises sung. She uses them all for fishing bait Until the very sight of her they hate. Of course her hair falls over her eyes— A way of hers to hypnotize. She wears knee socks to shape her legs— So they won't look like barrel kegs. Her make-up is redder than the equator, A trick to which the boys all cater. She rhumba’s just like an Argentine— You've guessed! She is the Wolverine! HELEN VALACHOVIC ON WOMEN’S HATS This is a plea for freedom, From the hats that women wear. For them we buy some crazy thing For quite an enormous fare. Each year they get a little worse, Especially right now. They get their fashions from the war, And that we can’t allow. They copy their fashions from the tank And even the aeroplane, And if it’s not stopped pretty soon, We men will go insane. We ought to start a war or two Right here in the U. S. A. And banish all these silly hats Right now, and here, today! DOUGLAS FREDERICKS = — +. JUNIOR PROIE OBSERVATIONS A girl stays in bed until the very last minute, then races to the breakfast table where she nibbles at just enough to keep life in a sardine because she must preserve that figure. Then back to the looking-glass to put on that gory lipstick, doodle the hair, and give herself the final once-over. Feeling very well satisfied with herself, she grabs up her school-books and is off, —looking most dignified and much older than she really is. After a block or so she meets the “‘gir! friend’? and all dignity vanishes. They swing along together, waving arms and hands aboui, wrinkling up their noses and making all sorts of ridiculous noises and worse faces. Pretty soon they catch up with some boys, load them up with all the books and stuff, pair off, and giggle and wise-crack all the rest of the way to the school building. As soon as they enter school the girls go to primp some more before going to their home- rooms, where they huddle in little groups for more chatter and gossip until they are cut short by the bell calling them to classes. There is a mad scramble for seats, the chattering con- tinuing until the teacher calls order, but they are at it again in whispers all during the day. After school a girl tries to attach herself to a boy who is the proud owner of a jaloppy or, better still, enough in the good graces of his parents to wangle the family car. She piles in with, perhaps, half a dozen others, and they are off for the soda-fountain at the corner drug store, where they will guzzle gooey messes until somebody remembers that they have to go home to “do home-work.”’ —'Tll take Vanilla!” GEORGE COATES SLOVAKIAN PORTRAIT She was so young. That is why I shudder to think of the horrible experience she suffered. She was a high spirited peasant girl. The fea- tures of her face were round and gentle, and, although she was quite tall, she was not awk- ward. Because she had never traveled any farther than Bratislava, she knew very little of the world beyond her own little village. Her early life might seem a hard one to us, but she was happy. She loved her home with all the vigor of her seventeen years. It was a small village called Kuty, some distance from the foot of the Carpathian Mountains in Slo- vakia. Every day I saw her trudging across the fields to and from the well with a. yoke on her shoulders from which were suspended two water jugs. Arriving home she would start about cleaning the kitchen, which was the ons of the two rooms in the house in which she lived. She would wash the bright dishes and silver which had been used for breakfast. Then she would sprinkle fresh sand on the ground that served as their floor, a task which is equivalent to our sweeping. Next she would put a giant pot of potatoes and other vege- tables on the brick stove to cook. This was for the cattle, hogs, and poultry. (1 always thought that. the people there fed their ani- mals more and better foods than they did themselves.) Then there was more important work for her to do. She would go to her father’s plot of ground outside of the village and dig potatoes or pull weeds, or pick peas or beans. This was more or less a daily routine, yet it was not monotonous to her, lover of the earth that she was. Sunday was always a holiday since the peo- ple who lived there were all devout Catholics. She had not missed church on Sundays in three years. She would dress up in all her finery and march proudly off to the little church. This finery consisted of about four white petticoats under a lovely silk skirt. She wore a blouse, beautifully embroidered, and over this, a jacket which laced up the front. She was, in- deed, a beautiful picture with her high black boots and the white satin kerchief which com- pleted her ensemble. Sunday afternoon | would sit on a bench under the apple trees and talk to her about America. I would tell her about the water system we have and about our electric lighting. Then we would be interrupted by cries of “‘a machine! a machine!”’ and I would know that an automobile was passing along the dusty and dirty road. This was quite an event since very few cars traveled through Kuty. America enchanted her. It represented an untold treasure of experience, fulfillment, and happiness. It grew on her slowly until she talked of nothing else. She pleaded and ar- gued with her parents until finally she per- suaded them, against their better judgment, to let her go to America. She was eager to be off, yet she cried fer- vently when she left. Her first great disap- pointment was on the ship, the S. S. Aqui- tania. There came the realization of what not being able to talk English meant. She had a most difficult time trying to converse with at- tendants. Then came New York, with its fren- zied confusion — the subways, skyscrapers, (Continued on Page 61) | | By tl ie Dephomores In the autumn of 1940 as the wall of Montgomery School crumbled in dust, there rose the class of 43, con- ceived in Knox Junior High School and dedicated to the proposition that every member will graduate in two years— well four anyway. As a class we Sophomores have done little but individually we have accomplished great feats. In athletics a number of our class members have been outstanding. Last fall under the floodlights of Knox Field our letter man John Kubina toted the hog-hide. This winter in Knox Gym basket ball stars: Bowman, Butler, Spano, Coulter, Ruggeri, Subik, Preston and Fitzpatrick helped the Jayvees to have a successful season. Also last winter Ronald Waite captured the class B cross country ski championship of New York State. This spring we hope to see some of the Sophs on baseball, track, and tennis teams. Sports is not the only field in which the Class of ’43 has been outstanding, for the Sophs have more than held their own academically as well. More than 25 per cent of their members had the thrill of seeing their names on the Honor Roll. Last fall we Sophs marched to the election polls with confidence and elected Blase Jurica, our President. Gloria Sutton had the majority of votes in the Vice-Presidential race, and Dorothy Northover was elected Secretary. Betty Hanson was given the honor of handling our mythical money matters. GEORGE OLIVER SOPHOMORE VERSE MY IDEAL I’ve made a list so carefully Of what a man should be; I'd better learn it quite complete So I shall know him when we meet. First, he’s tall and full of vim. (Oh, how I'll look with awe at him!) ) He’s dark—I'm fair (Won't we make a striking pair!) He’s rich—oh, yes, has quite a bit. (Must make that point quite definite!) But something's missing on the list . Has the element Love ceased to exist? I think I'll drop this foolish chart And merely listen to my heart. EVELYN JURICA t t t TWO LONESOME SKUNKS Two lonesome skunks by the roadside stood Watching the cars pass by; They left an odor far from good, And a tear was in one’s eye. “Why do you weep?” asked his anxious friend, “Why do you sob and quake?’ ‘‘Because that smell,’ said the other skunk, “Is like Mother used to make.”’ DAVID WELLS A PRAYER That all the children over there Be safe at home and free from care. If they could but regain the right To sleep a quiet, peaceful night. Tis not for tiny hearts to bear The troubles of a world of care, Why should they be stiff with cold And feed on bread that’s green with mold? It really is a mystery , How they can fight so nobly, These tiny tots of God's creation Who face the tragic separation From parents whom they love so well, Left wandering in a war-torn Hell. Father, now to you we pray To give them guidance on their way. Lift their heads and spirits high, For peace will come—bye and bye. —GLADYS CASE t t t FIRE FANCIES The smoke and flames were red and blue; And each of them held a story true. ‘The smoke seemed to carry memories ald Of excitement, adventure, and things untold; Maybe a log which was chopped by me, Or a limb from the sturdy old apple tree. The bright dancing flames, and the embers aglow, Each brought back something of the days long ago. HARRIET KONYN t THE AGENT AT MY DOOR I was seated by the fireside, a book clutched in my hand; Superman was sweeping all crime from our fair land, And even while | sat there content for ever more, There came a loud and roaring knock upon the kitchen door. I went to the door and opened it, and e’en before I spoke,— “Would you like to buy some anthracite, bituminous, or coke?” First came the voice, then came the man, he wasn’t very tall; He may have been diminutive, but his voice was not so small. He doffed his hat, and flashed a smile, and closed the door behind. “My name is J. P. Harrington and | suppose you're Mr. Kline.”’ “Well, Kline,’ he said, “‘pull up a chair. We'll come right to the point. I’m selling coal, as you may see, for Roberts and Beaumoint.”’ He showed me all his folders, and explained a coal mine trip; And then without a warning, came high-pressure salesmanship. He raged, he smiled, he pleaded—now loud, now scarce a murmur, And didn’t stop until | shouted, ““We have an oil-burner!”’ GEORGE OLIVER SOPHOMORE PROSE | § § | SALES NON-RESISTANCE Mrs. Amy MacDonald was waiting impa- tiently for her best friend, Bridget O’Mailey, to drop in and talk over the latest choice bit about the Drake’s quarrel. The sudden, shrill, piercing sound of a bell brought Mrs. Mac- Donald to her feet instantly, exclaiming, ‘““Thai must be Bridget now!’’ She started to the door but stopped suddenly, for upon thinking it over, she realized that Bridget never rang the bell. “It might be that nosy Mrs. DeGraff want- ing to borrow some sugar or the vacuum cleaner again,’ she said to herself. “‘Well, I'll fool her this time; | won't answer the door.” She tip- toed back to her chair . . . but what if it were the man from the ‘‘All Is Right If All Is Bright’’ Polishing Company bringing her a notice that she lhad won this week’s contest—or maybe it was a customer for Angus, her husband, the best plumber this side of Brooklyn. Oh dear! Should she go or shouldn’t she? All the time that these thoughts were surging, the bell kept up its constant, demanding ring. Ah! A sudden thought! Maybe she can see who it is by peeking out the window. But no one is in sight. Finally after another moment's deliberation, she decides to take a chance and answer the door. Squaring her shoulders and straightening her apron, the good lady steps to the door and throws it open with a flourish. ‘‘“Good morning, Madam. | represent the “Fit to Print’? Publishing Company. We have here the best books, magazines,—’’ “I don’t wany any,” breaks in Mrs. Mac- Donald, at the same time attempting to ease him out of the crack in the door. She is pre- vented in the attempt by the adept gesture of the man’s leg acting as doorstop. He continues persistently with, “‘All articles at lowest possible prices. Why, by purchasing one copy of ‘Mills’ Greek and Roman Myth- ology’ you receive absolutely without extra cost John Horton’s “Book of the Thirteen Psalms,’ Poor Mrs. MacDonald, after this powerful outburst, replied rather weakly, “But | don’t want anything about Greeks or—,’’ and gath- ering courage she finished more forcibly, “‘any- thing else, either. So be on your way!” The salesman, however, did not budge one inch, but began to attack again with, “Do you know, Madam, that the lady next door bought a beautiful five dollar Bible ?”’ “Why, hasn’t Mrs. DeGraff had a Bible ali these years?’’ gasped the astonished Mrs. Mac- Donald, The man went on, “And that nice couple down the street bought a book on ‘Love and Marriage’.”’ “Well, I’m glad to hear it,’ replied Mrs. MacDonald. “I understand they need it!” “Now Mrs. O’Malley across the street bought some lovely copies of Irish poems, son- nets, and _ stories,’ informed the salesman. “She said there’s nothing like a few poems to remind her of the old country.” “She did ’’ asked the amazed Mrs. Mac- Donald. “Well, now let me see. Do you have anything by Burns?” ‘“‘Burns?”’ “Yes,” retorted Mrs. MacDonald, “the Scotchman.’ “Oh, yes, I have a series of poetic books on Burns and others at lowest prices. How about some books on Scotch History and Geogra- phy? hopefully ventured the salesman. “‘My great grandparents came from Scotland, and I tell you, there is nothing like some good books to keep you posted with the happenings today.” “Did your people come from Scotland ”’ inquired the lady, beaming, feeling now they were on common ground. Here began a long discussion of the wonder- ful land of Scotland which ended only: with the purchase of a handsome leather-bound set of Burns works which now have a place of honor on the bookshelf, where they are left to collect dust, unmolested. BETTY WALSH —— oe FUTILE EVASION Just imagine for a moment that it is a clear bright Saturday morning. Your eyes open sleepily on a room filled with sunlight and your first thought is, “Who turned on the light?” Then it suddenly dawns on you that it doesn’t happen to be Edison’s great invention glaring in your eyes, but the sun. It’s morning—and of all mornings, Saturday morning. When this delicious thought comes to cheer your brain, weary from overwork, the sunlight seems brighter, the day finer, but the frost on the window looks just as cold as ever. You look over at the clock to find that the hands point to two-thirty and your mind wear- ily records the fact that somebody forgot to wind it. Your eyes wander back to those fas- cinating and glistening spots of frost on the window and with your eyes and mind fixed on them you stick one foot out experimentally. Very suddenly you decide that you won't get up quite so soon—it’s probably early anyway. You close your eyes against those glistening spots and begin to dream of the wonderful times you have had. Like a bolt out of the blue, the disturbing words, ‘‘Geometry test Monday,’ flash through your mind and you remember that you were going to study this morning. Your eyes fly open only to alight again upon the window and § § you note with satisfaction that the frost on the window has greatly diminished in size. Your face beams with joy at the thought that maybe the room is getting warmer, but it darkens when the room quite suddenly grows gray. Again those unpleasant words, ‘“‘Geometry test Monday,” flash through your mind and you grimace with displeasure. You close your eyes and try to escape the thought, but you seem to go right on thinking that you really ought to get up and study. You search for some thought that will take your mind away from Geometry, but you search in vain. All your pleasant dreams elude you and your mind stubbornly holds to Geometry. “At least,” you think, “I’ve got a con- science.’ With that you push the blankets back, shiver as you feel the cold air and re- luctantly put your feet on the piece of ice that had been a floor the night before. You rush over to the place where you had thrown your books after school and have your Geom- etry book. You finally find it and then hurry back to the protection and warmth of your bed. And this is where we'll leave you, dili- gently studying Geometry early Saturday morning. DORIS JOHNSON HUMAN NATURE For the purpose of our study let us let Mr. X equal the unknown quantity, “human nature.” Mr. X, a timid, henpecked little man, after kissing his wife goodbye boards the bus that will take him to work. Politely he stands at the curb letting the women and others get on. After picking himself off the sidewalk and brushing off his coat, he looks apologetically at the people staring at him. He is finally on the bus, but before he is seated the driver starts up with a jerk. Mr. X remarks to himself some words usually not in- cluded in his selected vocabulary. As he stum- bles and falls past the seated people, he re- ceives several helping shoves from behind that almost push him through the back of the bus. Finally seated beside a pretty young thing he perches half-heartedly on the edge of his seat, glancing occasionally at his watch, the floor, and out the window, but never returning the toothpaste smile of the shapely girl next to him. Mr. X rides two blocks beyond his place of work rather than go through the nerve-wrack- ing walk up the bus aisle again. Off the bus, already an hour late, he begins to relate to himself what his boss will say to him. Pulling himself up to his full height (5’ 2”) he boasts to himself how he will tell that boss of his where to get off. Perspiring, Mr. X slings open the office door. He seats himself at his desk and reviews his speech to the boss for the tenth time. The door opens and Mr. X stutters a few words of the prepared speech at the unseen boss. He is still looking for the deep hole to crawl into when he saw it was only the boss's secretary telling him the boss would be a little late that morning. RALPH GOULD om acd Ee an ae.

The Student Council functioned under the guidance of Miss Streeter. The officers for the year were Milton Hamm, president; Dominic Russo, vice- president; Betty Bates, secretary, and Edward Younglove, treasurer. The Student Council sponsored the Football Hop which followed the Inter-City battle. The affair was attended by about five hundred people and the proceeds were turned over to the “‘special fund.” The council sponsored a number of afternoon tea dances. The purpose of these was to encourage dancers and discourage wall-flowers. Service awards and letters were given out again by the Student Council. NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY First Row—Theresa Hennelly, Betty Sarno, Patty Robinson, Florence Garfall, Katherine Grant, Arlene Johns, Shirley Flynn, Eloise Hedden. Second Row—Thomas Briggs, Robert Stowe, Wendell Sellers, Dave Sponenberg, Vincent Faliveno, Milton Hamm. Third Row—George Remais, George Stata, Herbert Patterson, Stephen Smolik, Ernest Granetz. As Spring rolls around, all Seniors are eager to know who will make the National Honor Society. This year twenty-two of Johnstown High School's class of 41 were chosen members of the Johnstown Chapter. Character, service, leadership and scholarship are the bases of the selection. All mem- bers must also be in the upper third of their class. The above were awarded this honor. —— SS a , BOYS’ Hi-y Seated—Ray Fredericks, Tom Robinson, William Way, Leonard Dye, Tom Briggs, John Staley, Douglas Waldo. Standing—Earl Hathfield, George Remais, Robert Healy, Walter Waldo, Stuart Curtis, Harry Lighthall, Mr. William A. Wright. The Sir William Johnson Chapter of the Boys’ Hi-Y enjoyed a very suc- cessful year. At the presidency there was Leonard G. Dye, who, with the aid of the vice-president Stuart Curtis, the secretary Thomas Briggs, Jr., and the treasurer William Way, guided the program of the organization. Many activities were carried on through the course of the year. In December the club sent a delegate and an alternate to the New York State Hi-Y Assembly. During the Christmas vacation a dinner was held for the members of the club and for the alumni of the organization. Several other dinners were enjoyed throughout the winter season, speakers being present for. the various meetings. Many Sophs and Juniors composed the organization this year under the guidance of the club advisor, LeRoy Valentine. They are looking forward to another equally successful season next year. GIRLS’ Hley First Row—Valeria Hlozansky, Peggy Martin, Irene Malchovic, Irene Riska, Mary Marshall, Olga Kumpan, Irene Atkinson, Arlene Johns.

Those members not present: Betty Bates, Dorothy France, Irene Komorny. Just as the Baronet goes on from year to year, so does Girls’ Hi-Y. The club meets every first and third Tuesday at the Y. M. C. A. This year we have thirty-five girls in the organization. We opened, the season with a mock initiation followed by a formal initiation. At the formal initiation each new member was presented with the Hi-Y emblem. We have conducted both business and social meetings. Mr. J. Ellis Cole was the guest speaker at the April meeting. A cake sale was conducted in April. As has been the custom in previous years, Girls Hi-Y will conduct its June meeting in the form of a banquet honoring the valedictorian and Girls’ Hi-Y members of the class of 1941.

Apparently debating is a popular activity in Johnstown High School be- cause this year fourteen new members responded to the invitation of the Debate Club. However, it is not definitely known whether it was the lively debates or the refreshments served at each meeting that induced so many new members to join. Harry Lighthall was given the honor of wielding the mallet as president when the debating became too hot and heavy. Thomas Briggs was elected to assist him in this duty. Claire Sahut was chosen secretary and Raymond Frederick guardian of the exchequer. At club meeting debates were held on such topics as: The Third Term Issue, Cheerleaders Should Be Elected by the Student Body, Power of the Federal Government Should Be Increased. The season’s activities reached their peak with the open debate in assembly in which the Sophomores vied against the upperclassmen. The upperclassmen upheld the positive side of the resolution that “Military Training Should Be Compulsory for Boys in High School.” On January 23 the Debate Club held its annual party at ‘“‘Herb’’ Patter- son “31 ’ club. Plenty of good food and music made it a grand success. WINTER SPORTS CLUB® The Winter Sports Club of Johnstown High School experienced a second year of varied activities, starring skiing and skating. Nearly one hundred students manifested an interest in some type of winter sport activity. As a result of the preliminary meeting held in room 31 shortly after the first snow fall, an organization meeting and a Christmas party were planned. About fifty members met at Knox Clubhouse December 20, at 7:30 for the election of officers. As a result of the polls taken Tom Briggs was elected President, Betty Gonyea, Vice President, Eloise Hedden, Sec- retary, and Co-treasurers Virginia Putman and Andrew Zajicek. A program of movies followed with refreshments and dancing to round out a pleasant evening of activities. The Knox skating rink provided the next scene of action. Under the flood lights sixty skating enthusiasts cut fancy figures on the ice to the tune of Witzke’s recording machine. The climax of the season was reached for the Winter Sports Club with the annual Winter Carnival, at which Shirley Jones and Albert McCaffrey reigned as King and Queen. Skating races under ideal conditions drew a large crowd of onlookers and ambitious contestants vied for the generous prizes donated by the Johnstown merchants. Two large trophies for the outstanding skaters were awarded to Eleanor Werner and John Schelmbauer. During the closing days of the winter season the exploits of the ski team composed of D. Wells, J. Stewart, T. Briggs, R. DeWitt, R. Waite and J. Veghte, brought the club recognition by winning second place at the inter- scholastic ski meet at Sharon Springs in unusually capable competition.

One day out of every month the students of J. H. S. are startled by the blare from that instrument for which our school paper has been named. This “noise,” as you may already know, is produced by the mouth of none other than ‘“‘Herb’’ Patterson, editor-in-chief of the Bugle, the little paper with the big ‘“‘toot.” In October, 1940, a group of the staff attended the press conference at Cobleskill, N. Y. They returned from it filled with new ideas and new hopes for future issues of the Bugle. Under “Herb” Patterson’s editorship our school paper has been given new life. With the birth of his majesty, Cad, the students have resolved to be more careful in their behavior. No doubt several have felt the sting of this unseen force. As this has been the first year for Miss Gerstmayer as Bugle advisor, we feel she deserves open congratulations and thanks for having borne patiently us and our often long-overdue assignments. COMMERCIAL CLUB BLAY The Commercial Club scored an Assembly hit in January when they presented a Comedy, “The Red Lamp” before an appreciative house. Mrs Dunlap, faculty advisor, was the capable and untiring director of the play. The play is a lively one involving a series of laughable situations. Aunt Matilda, played by Eloise Hedden, is an elderly spinster whose word is law. She does not allow her nephew, Harold Deering (Walter Oare) to smoke, or do any of the things a boy of his age enjoys. Alice Deering, the niece, (Marion Hayes) is in love with Archie Clark (Joe Shehan) whom Aunt Matilda has never met. The plot thickens when Aunt Matilda mistakes Bill Worth, a wandering vagabond (Vincent Valivino) for Archie. Bill is surprised to find that the girl he loves, Annie O’Shane (Theresa Hennelly) is employed at the Deering home as maid. The Red Lamp plays a significant role since it is used by each member of the family as a signal, quite unbeknown to the others. The climax arrives at the moment when Aunt Matilda catches Alice and Archie eloping. The play comes ER SEO SEINE EE Ht tig quickly to a happy ending with Aunt Matilda's approval of the marriage, the reunion of Annie and Bill, and a trip to South America planned for Aunt Matilda and Harold. The proceeds from the ten cents admission are to go to financing the Annual Commercial Contest held at this school in May. § § SERVICE AWARD CERTIFICATES ‘Awarded to the following Juniors and Seniors, May |, 1941: Milton B.

Several lettermen who returned from the squad of 1939 formed the nucleus of a hard working, smoothly functioning team. During seven suc- cessive weeks, football teams from up and down the Mohawk valley were met and defeated. Masters of strategy have it that a football team is no stronger than its substitutes. Thus the big problem proved to be the development of adequate reserve strength from rather limited man power. This objective was accom- plished to the extent that players temporarily injured could be replaced. Much of the success of the varsity football club lies in the fact that persistent and hardworking substitutes did well the particular job’ to which they were as- signed. No better example than this can be found of the statement that ‘““An ounce of loyalty is worth a pound of cleverness.”’ | | ji | | | LETTER MES Front Row—Wendell Sellers, Bill Allfrey, John Lyons, Don Foster, Bob Hayner, Henry Baker, Bob Fuller, John Kubina.

Scoring was well distributed among the backs and ends, which gave evidence of a highly desirable diversified attack. The loss of such stellar performers as Jack Muzzi, Alex Piccione, “Red” Rathburn, ““Pug’’ Sheehan, Steve Kralovic, Francis Charles, and Dick Lorenc will be sorely felt. The building of a strong combination among the remain- ing regulars will present a major problem next year. The future depends upon the courage and willingness of those who join the squad of 1941. BOYS’ BOWLING Bowling in J. H. S. this year was a most successful and active sport. The Bowling League started off with eight teams rolling on the Alart Bowlaway for the first half of the season. The second half of the season only six teams carried on. The winning team of the first half was “Boston College,’ under Captain Troutwine, with T. Abel, W. Herrick, J. Hancher, R. Fosmire, members. The second half winners were the ‘“‘Columbia’’ team under Captain Milford, as- sisted by J. Ruggeri, R. Cobb, T. Sutton and K. Blakeslee. The roll-off to determine the winning team gave the edge to “Columbia” 2-1. The J. H. S. Varsity bowling squad fared moderately well considering the wealth of inexperienced yet promising members. Although they gained no decisive victory, they made a creditable showing. The schedule this year showed that ample opposition was present in the form of Gloversville, Am- sterdam, and Cohoes. The bowling was closed enjoyably by the annual match with girl bowlers at the Colonial Club. 8 9 BASKETBALL The J. H. S. 1941 Basketball Squad broke even with a total of eight games won and eight lost. Under the captaining of Joe Precopio the team added up a total of 510 points as against the opponents’ total score of 564 points. High scorer for the squa d was Captain Precopio with a total score of 165 points. The rest of the team scored as follows: Kralovice ... 85 Fozziow Dh Subiles | 2 ee Dy Sheehan.) j-.25 18 Parkerae les 22 ee 54 Allfrey- W225 1s Welists ] Soe ene 48 Hamm, @Mee2e2 9 Polacek ike se ae 52 Since this was Arch Ruport’s last season of coaching the team, we wish to extend to him appreciation for his long and faithful service. « 8 § TRACK Coach James F. MacFadden called the first meeting of the track squad in conjunction with the showing of a moving picture of the State Sectional Track Meet of last year in the High School auditorium. A large and enthusiastic group responded and work outs began in the Knox gymnasium immediately, taking place out of doors after the weather permitted. Inexperience was the greatest single factor faced in rounding the squad into shape, However, the interest of boys in Track activities suggested that in the future strong and capable teams may be developed. The competition included invitation meets at Gloversville, Saratoga, and finally the State Sectional Meet in which Johnstown played host to some 35 schools and 600 athletes as was true of 1940. The personnel of the squad is as follows: K. Babeaux, H. Baker, R. Bowman, B. Butler, C. Carpenter, A. Chase, F. Charles, J. Cole, H. Copper- noll, F. DeMagistris, R. DeWitt, L. Dye, E. Ermie, R. Fuller, R. Gillmore, M. Gonyea, R. Healy, R. Ireland, E. Ketchledge, J. Kilmer, J. Kubina, J. Little,, J. Lyons, S. Marziano, H. Patterson, R. Parko, J. Preston, J. Quinlan, S. Rizzo, T. Robinson, L. Ryder, R. Saltsman, P. Santangelo, E. Stephenson, S. Spano, J. Stewart, J. Staley, W. Suchy, A. Valachovic, D. Waldo, W. Waldo, D. Wells, J. Wilson, T. Winterbottom, J. Zayicek. The managers are Clayton Lathers, '41, Richard Dovey, °42. (Continued on Page 61) GIRLS’ ATHLETICS The 1940-41 season finds upwards of seventy-five girls enjoying the round of intramural sports directed by Miss Wilms. BASEBALL—SPRING 1940 The 1940 Spring Season included as usual, softball and tennis. Four softball teams were organized with Peg Martin (41), Elaine Paterson (42), Arlene Bostwick (41), and Arlene Johns (41) as captains. Six games were played, Peg Martin’s team winning the entire six games. SOCCER—FALL 1940 About thirty girls signed up for soccer, of which 19 were Seniors, two Juniors, nine Sophomores. Two teams were organized, the “Cyclones” and ‘Hurricanes,’ with Shirley Jones and Elaine Paterson elected as captains. The ‘‘Hurricanes’’ were victorious in two of the three games. Individual scoring honors for the winning team went to Myrtle Cook, with 14 goals or 28 points. Florence Billa and Eleanor Eagen each scored three goals, and Judy Harrison one goal. For the “‘Cyclones,’’ Mary Marshall scored three goals, Dorothy Nare five goals, and Shirley Jones and Betty Roarick each scored one. Senior managers for soccer were Florence Billa and Dorothy Nare. BASKETBALL—WINTER 1940-1941 The basketball season, as popular as ever, opened about the middle of November with sixty-four girls participating. The league was divided into eight teams, and captains were elected. Six of the eight girls chosen as captains were Juniors, an unusual circumstance. These girls met with Miss Wilms, and each chose seven girls for her team. The managerial duties for basketball were very capably taken care of by Doris Curran (41) and Martha Berger (42). Standings of the teams at the end of the season were as follows: Individual Team High Scorers Scores Team and Captain Won Lost Tied Points Points Garnets (Martin) I 2 P. Martin 202 Diamonds (Blethen) I M. Cook 185 Emeralds (Riska) Be Rubies (Fiacco) ; i 224 Topaz (Viola) Vi 185 Opals (Billa) 4 160 Sapphires (Endesfelder).. 3 90 Zircons (Rector) l 103 Instead of participating in a Play Day with other schools during the season, arrangements were made for two games to be played with the Alum- nae. These games took place Tuesday evening, April Ist, on the courts at Knox Junior High School. The Alumnae were divided into two teams known as the ‘“‘Has-Beens’”’ and the ‘““Was-Its’’ and were captained by Edna Hartman (40) and Margaret Haban (38). The personnel of the Alumnae teams was as follows: “‘Has-Beens’’—E. Marshall (39), M. Riska (40), M. Haban (38), D. McGivern (40), forwards; M. Egan (39), C. Snyder (39), A. Billa (40), E. Mogensen (40), guards. The ‘““Was-Its’’ were M. Maxter (40), D. Vedder (39), B. Costa (40), forwards; and H. Richmond (39), E. Hartman (40), F. Billa (41), and H. Sedivy (40), guards. Opponents for the Alumnae were the two teams which were in first and second place at the time in the regular High School league. These were Peg Martin’s “‘Garnets’ and Irene Riska’s “Emeralds.” The High School League teams were victorious in both games. The Emeralds won from the “‘Has-Beens’”’ by a score of 16-7; and the Garnets took the measure of the ““Was-Its’’ by a closer score, 17-12. The scores of both games at the end of the first quarter were two all, but the High School league teams began to show the effect of having played regularly all winter and gradually drew away from the Alumnae. Enough enthusiasm for the activity was shown on the part of the Alumnae and High School girls so that - plans are under way to make it an annual affair. © : 3 BOWLING—WINTER 1940-194] Fifty-two girls signed up f or bowling in November. The group was divided into three leagues, bowling on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday on the Colonial Club alleys.. Fifteen regular matches were rolled, and the season was brought to a close by a match arranged with the twelve highest average girls and boys in each of the respective bowling leagues taking part. This match was rolled Monday, April 7th, and resulted in victory for the ‘“‘Gold”’ first and second teams. The personnel of the boys and girls’ teams in the “‘co-ed’’ match on April 7th was as follows: ‘Purple’ first team—C. Hespelt, A. Johns, F. Troutwine, A. Viola, L. Ryder, F. Garfall, T. Rosata. ‘“‘Gold’’ first team— S. Flynn, J. Hanchar, M. Marshall, J. Torrisi, B. Sarno, A. Pollak. The ‘Pur- ple’’ second team was made up of H. Endesfelder, R. Cobb, E. Patterson, D. Foster, K. Grant, R. Milford, and the ““Gold”’ second team, B. Roarick, R. Maxian, D. Naylor, P. Sedal, I. Rector and J. Ruggeri. A Viola rolled the highest single ever rolled by any girl in the High School league, 209 pins. In order to give more girls an opportunity to take part in competition matches, games were arranged with the second highest twelve girls bowling against twelve of the women public school teachers. This took place on Wednesday, April 23rd. The twelve highest girls were also given another chance to bowl in competition against twelve High School Alumnae. These games took place the week following Easter vacation. BASEBALL (Continued from Page 58) Now that Spring is returning to Johnstown, major league teams coming North with the robins, and Regents nearing . to .. . baseball. a young man’s fancy turns Under Mr. Wright and Mr. Willcox, J.H.S. prepares for another season. Five regulars are returning. They are John Subik, Gaal Rathburn, Charles Fredericks, Robert Hayner and Joseph Precopio. A large squad was carried last year and a number of these should be in regular positions. The Sopho- mores look good and are expected to give keen competition for places on the squad. The managers are Ernest Granetz 41 and Harry Lighthall, Jr.,’4!. The assistant is Earl Hathfield, °42. SLOVAKIAN PORTRAIT (Continued from Page 36) taxis, strange clothes, a strange language, strange food. She was lost and afraid of !ife,— of the glaring lights of Broadway, the busy traffic of 42nd street, and the imposing homes of Park avenue. She could not think straight, nor see straight. She could not sleep for the noise, yet when awake she was like one in a dream, a horrible dream, hoping to wake to find herself digging potatoes from the earth with the sun shining down upon her. You see, she was a part of that glorious earth. The need was in her blood to have about her the quiet- ude of the open, with perhaps a murmuring brook and the songs of the birds to break the heavenly silence, not the rumble of an elevated or the screaming voices of a million people. Her aunt was good to her and thought that her great fear of New York would wear off and then she would send her to a sewing school to increase her skill at embroidery. In this way a position as a skilled craftsman might be ob- tained. She attended the school a few times, but people terrified her. She would look at them wildly and then stare at their clothes, and look dumbly at thern when she was spoken to. She would not touch the American clothes but persisted in wearing her own. This sensilive girl so sheltered for her first seventeen years was still too tender to face the roughness and strangeness of America . At first she cried and called for her mother and father in a way that was pitiful to hear. Then seeming to realize that this would noi avail her of them, she brooded and begged to be sent home. But it was too late; New York City had robbed her of her life as.a normal person. It became noticeable that she talked con- tinually of Europe, of home. She babbled about her early childhood and her sister's grand marriage. She would cry out suddenly that the sun was very warm and comfortable. Then she would remind herself that there was no sun, that the buildings kept it from reach- ing her. It was then that her aunt noticed her strange behavior. ‘The great change of life she had undergone in a few weeks had taken away her sanity! At the times when she rambled on about her home were the times she was happiest in America, but when she came back to our world, she seemed to sense that something was wrong with her. She knew that she was losing her mind so that when she was sane, she was in a mental anguish. Her misery was greater than can be de- scribed. She would stare out of the window, chewing her nails until the blood ran. Then she would fling ‘herself on her bed and cry hysterically until her sanity would leave her. At these times she would smile and nod, ap- parently contented with her imaginary world. When she would regain sanity again for a few minutes, and these intervals became increas- ingly rare, she continually cried to be sent home. These arrangements were made imme- diately. It was in a hospital back in Bratislava that she began her tedious struggle to regain her mental health. She had lost her mind in a month and it took her whole young life to fully regain it. Sympathetic friends, familiar sur- roundings, and the sunny countryside helped her to recover. She is back home now, in Kuty, loving it more than ever after her experience in America. She is very much changed. No more does the flame of ambition burn in her. All that seems natural for a human to wish to attain does not interest ther at all. Her quiet nature exalts in merely picking peas and beans. or digging potatoes under the warm sun which shines down to the earth, unobstructed. MILDRED LORENC — Goodbye, Boys!
