RICHARDS Assistant Coach FOOTBALL SUMMARY The I949 Football Season was one of the most successful in our High School's history. We weren't rated as being much of a team at the beginning of the season, but we soon developed into a great and powerful unit. Twenty-one of our seniors were out for football, and perhaps that was one ofthe reasons why we had confidence in our team. We defeated opponents most every week, and at the end of the season, our record was seven wins, and two defeats. These were given to us by Tamaqua and Coaldale. We still considered it a successful season in spite of this. Hillmer Olson, one of our very efficient halfbacks, was elected as a member of the All-State football team. Congratulations, Hillmer!

It seems strange to remember what our companions used to be, and to see what they're doing now. Some of the scrawls are a bit difficult to decipher, but. . . Ah! Here's Ann Klemen's name. Her mind was always in the clouds, and still is, for she is a very charming stewardess for Eastern Air Lines. Speaking of air planes, Victor Yanega is now operating an air taxi service and is doing an excellent business. Joseph Novotny, George Malik, and Richard Matta are also partners in this enterprise. Whom have we here? Oh! yes, Bernice Katz. Her voice has simply overwhelmed the critics and music lovers at Carnegie Hall. She is accompanied at all her concerts by her sister Frances. This page is all blotted . . . it's John Kadilak's. He was always such a lively soul. He is now a very prosperous mortician. Look! Here is Lucille Scrbacic's autograph. Lucille has iust won the Olympic Swimming Championship title for the third consecutive year. Oh! Here is Betty Velky's signature. She has been very successful in modeling clothes designed by Elizabeth Kennedy. What is this cute little design? Oh! I should have known. lt's Dinah Totani's work. Her original greeting card designs have practically made history! Golly! This is fun. Here is Rosa Totani's page. Rosa is the Physical Ed. instructress at Smith College-incidentally, there are quite a number of our friends on the teaching staff-John Hudy, Janet Cohen, and John Jeffries. This autograph is blurred, I can scarcely make it out. There it is! It's David Miller's. Pardon me!- Admiral Miller's, for he is a full-fledged Admiral in Uncle Sam's Navy. We are well represented in this great department for Robert Zlock John Vanak, Michael Sabanos, Floyd Miller, Leonard Fatigati, and Don Dreisbach are all wearing Navy Blue . These pages are stuck together. Ah! There they are. Nancy Bender's name! She was a great one for argument and is still holding her own. She is iudge of Junior Valley. Let's see who is next. lt's Jean Di Tecco. Jean has achieved great popularity through the recent publication of her best selling novel, How To Become A Successful Secretary . What a coincidence that Mary Brinkos' name should be next to Jean's, for they were practically inseparables! Mary has been very successful as General Manager of the Lill Pharmaceutical Company in New York City.

C., THE AUTOGRAPH ALBUM lContinuedl There's a bar of music on this next page-very appropriate, too-for it belongs to Holman James. His life has certainly been full of music! His orchestra is the most popular today. Just recently he played at the opening of Michael Koshuta's new Bamboo Room, in Chicago. l've gone through this book so often and still enjoy the surprises!! The next name is Peggy Pispeky's. She has had a very prosperous career. At present she is chief supervisor of nurses at the Sundberg Hospital, in Philadelphia. Eleanore Miterko, Rosalie Phillipovich, and Marge Petko are also on the hospital staff. This next page is signed with three M's. They refer to lrene Markovich, Celia Matta, and Anne Mikulka. These girls are operating a very flourishing stenographic service in the Gregg Hotel, in New York. Such fancy printing! Now, let me guess . . . yes, it belongs to John Mikulecky. John is president of the Ace Aeronautical Engineering Corporation in Detroit. His very efficient private secretary is none other than Mildred Perzel. This person signed his name upside-down! lsn't it iust like Thomas Svaidlenka to do something like that? Thomas owns a large detective agency and has solved many important cases. George Repinec and Leonard Terry are two of his best men, and . . . Anna Stanko has uncovered many clues for them in the laboratory. Ah! Another artistic design! This one belongs to Alfred Vavra. He has made a substantial fortune as a commercial artist, in California. Robert Shober's name is next. Bobby has won world-wide renown as the Mellow Irish Tenor . He and Peter Shears are still together. Pete is his business manager and has certainly done wonders. Bobby recently gave a benefit concert in the Palladium, which is Joseph Spirko's newest theater, in Boston. Joe owns some of the largest theatres in the U. S. A. Bernadine Jaso and John Hudasky are assistant managers for the great Spirko chain. John Petko and Paul Tichy also work for Spirko. This page is signed Shorty referring, of course, to Anne Katkocin. She is now sole owner of the concession stand at Yankee Stadium. Marie Kanich, Agnes Lazar, and Elda Mae York, are also working with Anne-iust like old times at the L. H. S. stadium! The next name, in this treasure chest , is that of Daniel Jacobs. The new Golden Gate bridge at San Francisco, is one of his greatest engineering accomplishments. Here's Paul Jubick's autograph! Paul, Donald Moscoe, Vladimir Kudella, and George Steranka are all professional baseball players. While we're on the subject of athletics, Hillmer Olson and Edward Matta have made themselves famous on the gridirons throughout the United States. This autograph must be written in French! No, it's English-Joseph Radocha's script. Joe and Michael Porvaznik are operating a wholesale nursery, in Connecticut-a horticultural nursery, of course. Thomas Jones is also living in Connecticut. He is the proprietor of the famous Stockholm Restaurant, where you get the best of food in Connecticut, and also the best entertainment . . . Such favorites as Clara Demyan and her All Girl Orchestra , Lawrence Yurick and his Mitey-Fine Band or that ever-smiling comedian Francis Polinchock appear nightly. ln case you'd like to dine at the Stockholm, but have no one to care for your children-your worries are over! Nancy Pasho and Betty Zona operate the Reliable Sitter's Corporation and furnish you with a baby-sitter within twenty-four hours. There are only a few names left so l'll skim through them rapidly. Here's Leonard Lutz's page! Leonard and John MacDonald own the Atomic Billiard Academy , where you will really see some revolutionized billiards! Richard Romanek's name is next! He has done wonders in electronics and is co-owner of the R. C. A. Victor Company. Joseph Hrusovsky is also employed by that company and he too, has had a highly successful career. That is the last name in my High School Autograph Album . I hope you have enioyed going through it with me. Perhaps, I should add that any similarity to prophetic truth is purely a stroke of genius!!! .loan Dorrian ,W , Cozrrteom and Sympathefic Service RUSSEL A. HOLMES FUNERAL HOME RUssEi. A.
