O wma' 33,1 ,' .5 llcvm, 5 1 The Sage of The Senior Class Dear Diary: The year of years has drawn to a close! How quickly the days of High School have passed! It seems only yesterday that Joe Repik was telling Frank Chasarick that he shaved for the first time, and that Charlotte Cooper was hoping her mother would let her use purple lipstick. I still remember how scared some of us were, our first day as freshmen. I was afraid to talk to my teachers. And how we all laughed when Michael Rendish wandered into the boiler room, thinking it was Room 48. That, my Dear Diary, was how we preserved the freshman tradition! John Repinec was our president then, and Jane Kocher was vice president. The secretary was Helen Cappos and John Vavra handled the geld . My, but we were a good class! Even so early in our high school career we had our classmates participating in footbabll, basketball, debating and oratory. The days and the weeks and the months flew by. Now we became sophomores! That was a memorable time for us. We were just beginning to take our rightful place in the school. One of our boys, Marvin Greenberger, was assistant editor of the Lans-Hi-Litesg we had students capturing honors in oratory, carrying off varsity positions in debating and in football. And that was the year all our officers were girls: Marie DeMarco was president, Jane Kocher, vice president: Carmela Dignazio, secretary, Irene Kolaya, treasurer. And Joe Repik was boasting that he had to shave every third day. The sophomore year went quickly. We then assumed the commanding status of junior. Ahem! Ahem! Dear Diary, as I look back at that year, it's hard to realize all we did. We elected John Vavra, president, Michael Zrinsky, vice president, Margaret Steber, secretary, and Lenny Sniscak, treasurer. Then we started, rolling. We bought beautiful class rings fthe nicest everljg we selected our class colors, blue and white, we put on a super-colossal assembly programg we climaxed the whole year with a simply terriic Junior Prom. And, believe it or not, we led the way in almost all activities-debating and oratory, football and basketball. Remember the cheerleaders cavorting around? They were juniors! We turned patriotic then, too, when we gave Bobby Gillen and Arnie West to the Navy. And Joe Repik announced proudly that he now shaved every other day. But as all good things do, our junior year ended. At long, long last we entered into the home stretch of our high school life. Dignitied, resourceful, intelligent, we were now seniors! Dear Diary, how pleasant a feeling that was. But we didn't rest on our laurels. Oh, no! We captured the coveted positions in forensics, in sports, in journalism. We blazed the trail of glory for the Class of '42. Our ofiicers then were the same as the year before except that Michael Rendish was president and Bill Heffelfmger was viice president. For Michael, it was a far cry from the day' when he got lost-as a freshman. And he performed superbly as our leader. We were very busy as seniorsg we chose Excelsior as our motto and the red rambler rose as our flower. We thrilled the high school with our assembly program. And we held three wonderful dances. Now, after hard, but interesting preparation, we are about to emerge from Baccalaureate, Class Night and Commencement-to emerge as graduates of Lansford High School. Thus, Dear Diary, our class, the Class of '42, reaches the end of the magnificent career. And Joe Repik declares that he now shaves every day! Faithfully and loyally yours, Anna Kuba. E251

Grand Finale by Chorus fparting songj INTRODUCTION : Rumor has it that an American political leader of some years ago visited a certain tribe of Indians. The chief asked him to deliver an address to his braves. From time to time cries of Whoop-la! Whoop-la! inter- rupted his harangue. When hc completed his speech he asked the chief what compliment his warriors had paid him. The chief replied, without embarrassment, that his braves had merely said, Hot air! Hot air!
