We of the yearbook staff didn't have much trouble in taking this task into our stride and in doing so made this book a wonderful remembrance for and of the Class of 49,,. This being our second yearbook in Larksville, we had a little difficulty with the job but we followed in the footsteps of a very successful Senior Class. Our predecessors were very ambitious and put out a very wonderful and accurate account of the hap- penings in Larksville High. Miss Shaffer graciously agreed to sponsor the association and our staff was chosen by the pre- ceding class. Verna Fine was selected as Editor - in - chiefg Edward Zofcin as Business Managerg Edward Tomek as the Assistant Business Managerg Anna Onzik as Managing Editorg Rudolph Fender as Art Editorg and Thomas Korshalla as Sports Editor. The Associate Editors were Arlene Benner, John McDermott, Anne Tincofski, Patsy Dougherty, Paul Kelly, Francis Gavrish and Irene Stepanick, Our roving reporters were soon busy writing and presenting the literary staff with materialg also our candid camera was busy snooping around and snapping picture of every activity possible. The business staff zealously convassed the immediate and neighboring vicinity for ads to help finance our project, and we sincerely appreciate their and the donors cooperation. We also appreciate the help given us by Mr. Feeney in securing ad space. The sports staff, with Ted Marcincoski and Joe Bendick kept its eye on all of the sports activities that occurredg the never ending buzz of typewriters was heard amid the snap and flash of our candid camera. After much praparation and checking the mater- ial received the O. K. of our Editor - in - chief and it was submitted to the printer and engraver for publication. Bills and installments were handled smoothly by our business staff and our yearbook was completed and ready for distribution. We, the yearbook association of 49 , do sincerely liope that this annual will provide an interesting pictorial and account of our high school days. We hope we have lived up to our predecessors aims and we have produced a bigger and better annual than theirs. We hope our successors follow our example and produce a much bigger and better annual this next year.

The words Student Government means careful and proper demorcratic governing one's self, not only in the presence of a teachen but also in his or hex absence or otherwise at all times. The motto of the Student Council is Courage, Courtesy and Culture. The creed of the council is, We, the students of the high school desire ourselves to be: Loyal and obedient to parents, teachers and those in authority. Cheerful and friendly to all. Sportsman - like in athletics. Punctual in meeting our obligations. Courageous in standing up for what is fair and right. Thrifty in caring for public and private prop- erty. Industrious in using our time and opportun- ities. Helpful and courteous to others as we would have them be to us, and faithfully serving our God, our school and our country. The Constitution of the organization was drawn up on February 27, 1947 with Miss Mar- garet Mullins as its sponsor. The council has worked diligently with the faithful cooperation and advice of its sponsor and members Who have done much in solving student problems. The Student Council Officers for 1948-49 were: Presidents ........ ....,....... M yron Steele and Verna Fine Vice-President ...,......... .... . .... .,... ....,. . . .... J e rome Perez Secretary .. ...... .,.... ..,... . . ......,....... .....,, , ,...,, , , Robert Wichl Advisory Board - Arlene Benner, Anna Onzik, Eleanor Oliwiany. Home Room Representatives - Kathleen McDer- mott, Anna Onzik, and Theresa Pastula. The boys of the Student Council who merit it by scholarship and conduct, are assigned a post in the hall and it is their duty to see that orderliness is present on their patrol. The Student Government has adopted a Char- acter Rating System by which the Senior Class is rated: the boy or girl having the highest rat- ing are given an award at Commencement. The Council meets weekly and it is one of its duties to introduce speakers in the auditorium to the student body. It is the hope of the Coun- cil that its endeavors will produce better stu- dents and consequently better citizens. K A. D. Iniiiafions 013659 GXQLZ4-3 The Kappa Alpha Delta, a literary society, was founded in Larksville High School on January 17, 1921, the name Kappa Alpha Delta, was taken from three characters of the Greek alphabet, in script K .A. D. Miss Helen O'Connell sponsors this society, whose aim is to inculate in boys and girls the highest ideals of Christian Manhood and Wo- manhood, by encouraging them to seek the best in literary accomplishments. The motto of the society is Knowledge and Wisdom are the Sires of Fame . The colors of the society are Red and White, the flower is a white rose f- symbols of Love and Purity. The badge of the society is a re- gulation pin - a Sterling Silver Book with white enamel and inscribed in red with the characters K. A. D. Membership of the society is limited to Juniors and Seniors of Larksville High School With. an average of B or higher in English scholarship, who show by conduct and application that he or she is worthy to become a literary light of the school. The following were the senior members of the society who had the honor of investing the new members, Dot Abate, Betty Batory, Arlene Benner, Patsy Dougherty, Verna Fine, Peggy Finnegan, Anis Garnet, Eleanor Oliwiany, Anna Onzik, Dot Shimko, Paul Kelly, Thomas Kor- shalla, John McDermott, Myron Steele, Theresa Sabola, Theresa Pastula, John Wright and Ed- ward Zofcin. Every new member had to carry a doll, a broom, a hot water bottle and a lunch pail as standard equipment and bowed to every senior member he couldn't avoid while passing through the halls. The initiations last for two days and are look- ed foreward to every year by the whole student body and especially by the nominated candidates who have to portray some hillarious character dreamed up by a senior member. Every character had to give a performance on the stage during the two day initiations to the great amusement of the jovial audience. Eddie Arnold accompanying himself on his guitar honored us with his rendition of You Call Everybody Darling and he was realistic that he was called on to perform on the follow- ing day. The Katzenjammer Kids showed us a few of their preposterous pranks which they play on their poor defenseless Mama. Cupid demonstrated his fine are of making people fall in love, he even went so far as to pierce the heart of the Old Maid School Tea- cher . She was so flabbergasted that she ran out into the audience and brought up on the stage a boyfriend to make love to. At noon the gym was crowded with spectators to witness more of the initiations. The bumps and bruises received during the hockey game, with a shoe and broomsg were forgotten then but felt afterwards. The blind folded boxers were hilarious and they incited loads of laughter. All the pledges were seated in a circle and induced to sing rock a bye baby while tossing their dolls up into the air, they were accompan- ied by Evelyn and Her Magic Violin.

W 2 w 5 Sports are a year round activity in Larksville High. Football begins shortly after the opening of school, basketball continues through the win- ter months an baseball closes the sports activi- ties right up until the end of school. The success of these intramural sports depends largely on the ability of the coaching staff and the ability of the players. Larksville High has a very efficient coaching staff, and one that has produced many championship teams. Both veterans at coaching, Mr. Shimko and Mr. Stush produce a good team each year. Due to the change in the high school plan, Mr. Shim- ko has been assigned to teach the Junior and Senior classes French leaving the Basketball coaching to Mr. Stush. Mr. Stush still teaches the junior schools phys- ical education and aids Mr. Shimko in coaching the football and baseball teams. Mr. Shimko still teaches the high school classes physical education. 4 MAJ ORETTES L6ft to Right: Marguerite Thomas, Evelyn Lesnick, Catherine Fender, Nancy Magalski, Ruth Bump Anne Tincofski, Mary Osick.

FOOTBALL BAN QUET new .W FOOTBALL Although Coach Mike Shimko lost five of his varsity football members last season, the remainder of the varsity and new members joined together to form a powerful team. After only three weeks of preparation they were put. to their first test, which was our neighbor, Edwardsville. Displaying team work and determination, the Larks overpowered them and started off to a good season with a victory. The Green Wave which was always the underdog, would play to their capacity and win many games which came as a surprise. Despite injuries and a tough schedule, our boys came through with five wins, this was a credit to the coaching ability of Mike Shimko. Ed Shank Tomek, who actecllas captain was a good sport as well as an excellent line backer. He was helped considerably by the deceptive ball handling of Boot Niznik. Ed Gryskiewicz, a sturdy lineman, was elected by his teammates to captain next year's team. He will be backed up by an experienced squad composed of Little Gene Carr, a slick broken field runner, Bernie Zielinski, and Ben Barsh. Muxy Gimble, Franny Fisher, Lenny Krofchick, and Bill Dougherty, whose re- serve strength was appreciated by the team, are leaving this year due to graduation. Orgy Yanok and Rudy Fender formed the bulk. of the line which at most times was inpenetrable. The outside of the line was taken care of by Tommy Korshalla and Hoppy Gimble, ..--ji LARKSVILLLE SCHOOL DIRECTORS Footb The telephone rang and when Mary answered it, who was calling but her favorite beau, Tom. He was calling to ask if she was going to keep esher promise and go to the Shawnee with him. Mary said she would and for him to come up around 5:30 o'clock. The above scene was being enacted in nearly every home in the two neighboring towns. Why? Well, tonite was THE night, FOOTBALL NIGHT November 1948, Tonight the Shawnee Theatre would be crowded with students from both Larksville and Ply- mouth High Schools in anticipation of the Foot- ball Night celebration. When the Shawnee was crowded to capacity the Larksville band entered on the left and the Plymouth band on the right. The throng cheered them till they were hushed by the picture which was finally flashed on the screen. The picture was appropriately followed by football shorts. The aim, more or less, of the two schools on this night is to cheer its respective school to the top of their respective lungs. Using this mor- ale as a scoreboard the school which cheered the louder was supposed to have the best chance of winning the game on the following day, be- tween these friendly rivals, the Larksville Green Wave and the Plymouth Shawnee Indians. Mr. Keating, manager of the theatre, acted as Master of Ceremonies and since the Larksvillians were guests, they were fraciously allowed to be represented first. Our Alma Mater opened our performance and all the Shawneeites stood re- spectively at attention. Our majorjettes, with Nancy Magalski as their head majorette, put on a spectacular perfor- mance and twirled their batons with the typical poise and finish for which they are noted and which has made them the most outstanding in the valley. Then amid a burst of cheers and yells our cheerleaders came on to shake the rafters. all Night With Ready, Hip!! Hip! from our vivacious cheering captain Myron Steele the halls echoed and reechoed with: Dot Dot Dot Dash! Victory! Victory! Dot Dot Dot Dash! Victory! Victory! V-I-C-T-O-R-Y ! ! ' Victory!! ! ! I I As this and various other cheers hit our solid Larksville wall they deafeningly increased in volume. Coach Mike Shimko presented his Green Wave to the audience and as each player was introduced he took his place on the stage amid a volley of cheers. The Shawneeites next stood respectively at attention while the Plymouth Alma Mater was being played by the band. Then the house lights were dimmed and the red stage lights switched on, while the Shawnee Majorettes put on a never to be forgotten per- formance of twirling their lighted batons. The cheerleaders led their respective section and Coach John Stonik introduced his players. With their never ending spirit of good sports- manship the two rival coaches shook hands with the appropriate saying, May the best team win! Some feminine cheerleaders from both schools put on a masculine air and kicked a few mina- ture footballs ,into the audienceg with this the festivities for the evening came to a close. With such morale as displayed by both schools it looke as though the 1949 Plymouth - Larks- ville game would result in a score undeterminable by even the experts. Sporis Commenlaior Larks 20 - Edwardsville 6 A. strong but determined Larksville eleven met, for their opening game, their traditional rivals from Edwardsville. But the Green and White ov- erpowered the Orange and Black to a 20-0 score. Larks 13 - Nanticoke 0 Displaying a second half of fighting spirit the Green Wave downed a much heavier but greener team from down the river. Termed by the Sunday Independent Bob Gimble made the spectacular play of the year. He took the ball off the kiekers toe and crossed the goal line for the second score of the game. Larks 6 - Meyers 13 After leading for the first three quarters of the game a much lighter Larksville eleven couldn't stop the onrushing Gold and Blue of Meyers. It took a sensational catch of a desper- ation pass in the last minutes of the game to send the stubborn Green Wave down to defeat. Larks 18 - G. A. R. 6 G. A. R. made the first score in the first few minutes of the game. However the Green Wave wasn't fazed for it rallied to Win the game with a final score of 18 to 6. Larks 6 - Plains 7 In the first night game of the season the Green Wave lost a very thrilling game to the Plains Red Raiders. The Green VVave outplayed and outgained the Red Raiders in every department but the decisive points were not made as time ran out seeing the Green Wave baring down on the Red Raiders goal line. QI-5659 GEJLZF3 Larks 6 - Newport 14 In a hard fought game at Larksville the Nut- crackerg from Newport downed a never say die Green Wave. Larksville outgained their oppon- ents however two bad breaks on penalties set up the Nutcrackers two touchdown drives and the Green Wave lost another thriller. Larks 6 - Hanover 0 Striking quickly in the first half and taking a 6 to 0 lead the Green Wave had to stave off a last quarter rally to send the Hanover Hawkeyes down to defeat. The Green Wave's line held for four downs on the 5 yard line and took over to only have time run out as in previous games. Larks 7 - Plymouth 20 After the Green Wave took the first half with a 7 to 0 scoreg the Shawnee Indians came back in the third period to score three quick touch- downs. Lack of Green Wave reserve strength showed near the end. Franny Fisher blocked a punt to give the Green Wave the ball on the 15 yard line but again time ran out and another thrilling game was lost. Larks 6 - Coaghlin 0 After a O to 0 first half the Green Wave sped to an early score in the second half sparked by a daring 62 yard run by little Gene Carr. Marion Rock then ran over S would be tacklers to score. This game marked the end of the Green Wave's 48 season. Seniors who won't be back next season are: 'l'. 3I2ll'ClIlCOSkl G. Yunok F. Fisher li.

Boot Crashes Around The End Lenny Plofws Through Basketball Previous to the start of the 1948 basketball campaign Larksville was considered a dark horse entry in the Valley League, this was due to the fact that Larksville had a veteran quintet returning. Last season Mike Shimko started building, looking for the future and came up with a quintet of stellar performers, such as Tomek, Marcinkoski, Carr, Gimble, and Barsh, and a dependable sophomore reserve squad consisting of Shaw, Bondzinski and Pavlick. Mr. Shimko's object was to place such a team on the floor. Due to certain facts beyond control Mr. Shimko relinquished his post as basketball coach. Mr. Stush was then given the assignment of directing the team for the 1948 - 1949 campaign. In their first exhibition contest of the season against St. Vincent's the Larks easily overpowered them, but then lost three successive games when journeying to strange gymnasiums in Plymouth, Pringle and Mary- mount despite the efforts of Marcinkoski and Tomek to hold the boys together. 1 The Larks then returned home for a Tuesday night encounter with Newport, and was considered - the underdog - . The local boys found their own backboards more suitable than the visitors did, and poured 53 points through the net, while holding Newport to 39. In a return match the lower county boys avenged this upset by taking the Larks into camp at home. During the Xmas vacation the Larks topped St. Vincent's in a return engagement but lost to Hanover in a thriller 37 - 39 while playing with- out three regulars. Toniek puts in an nnderhand one!
