Coxe. The school was OH May 7' 1879' ln EIL toillfor Miners and Mechanics, and was supported by the named the IndLilSt5hZ1Cc5xeDOCoal Company interests. The objective of the school was h and ation of boys and young men who had left school at' an early age to extend. t 6 3 uiound the mines. A two-story building was erected in Drifton in in Whichinwil ciassrooms, library, and an auditorium for lectures, meetings, and Coxe family to work entertainments. Professor Oswald Heinrich headed the school at Drifton for seven years from 1879 to 1886 Upon his death, john R. Wagner, M. E., Lehigh 1885, took caver the reins and continued in charge of the educational Pmgfam- In 1888, the School build' ing burned down with a subsequent interruption of classes for a period of five years. On March 16, 1893, the school was revived under the name of the Miners' and Mechanics' Institute. Later the name was changed to the Mining and Mechanical Institute of the Anthracite Coal Region of Pennsylvania. Two different buildings housed the school in Freeland from 1893 to 1902. Eckley B. Coxe, who had founded the school and had been the leader in its incorporation in 1893, died in the year of 1895. After his death, his wife, Sophia G. Coxe, became its patroness. In 1902, Mrs. Coxe built the original main building dedi- cated as a memorial to her deceased husband. In 1914 the science laboratory-shop building was added, and on Thanksgiving day, November 25, 1925, she dedicated the excellent gymnasium at her last public appearance. On June 14, 1946, a new addition housing two classrooms, a museum, lavatory, fire-proof stairway, science lecture room, and laboratory was dedicated to seven veterans of World War II who made the supreme sacrifice. This addition was Hnanced through the gifts of many Alumni and friends. From the beginning, the subjects taught in the night school included Mining, English, Mathematics, Science, and Drafting. Now Welding and Machine Shop practice are also given. A short time after the school was opened, a college prepara- tory course was added to the other work of the Institute. To encourage the best boys to ' l ' aspire to co lege, Mr. Coxe offered scholarships to be used by the highest graduates, and this practice is still continued by the school. Between the years 1895 and March 1, 1927 the date of Mrs. Coxe's death, she not only provided the buildings and operating funds, but she also established per- manent endowments wh' h d ' ' ' ic to ay supply approximately one-third of the school's in- come. Several other members of the Coxe family assisted in this philanthrophy. Through the devotion of the Board of Directors over many years in attending to the business of the h l l sc oo, and through the fa-culty's administration of the educa- tional program of the school, an ex t' 11 cep iona y fine reputation has been established. h' Of the last f9ffY-eight years, the school has been headed by W.

Although he is a few years older than we, he is still considered one of the fellows Raylg diligence and perseverance should carry him far. I CARL KISLAN Carl Dramatics-2, 3, 4 Carl's innocnt expression should, by no means, be taken as an in- dication of his nature, for wherever there is any mischief, he is likely to be around. Always one who appreciates a good practical joke, Carl not only has been the instigator of many, but has often been the re- cipient of several. In his more serious moments, Carl has shown his abilfity as a true scholar. He is undecided about his future work, but he will undoubtedly make good in the field he enters. CENERO La PORTE HGidgeH Basketball-1, 2, 3 Football-2, 3 Baseball-4 Yearbook-4 Class Officer-3, 4 Proving his athletic ability in the past four years, Gidge has estab- lished himself as an invaluable asset to the class. Even though he is short in stature, he possesses a physique which looks like the finished Product of a successful Atlas course. A good-looking fellow, Gfldge has set many feminine hearts of the region attwitter. Assuming leadership as class president in our senior year, Gidge has Worked energetically in Organizing class plays, dances, and other activities. We Wish the best of eV9TYtiiing to Gnidge in the future.

Carl, although being quiet and modest, has forged for himself the reputation of being a hard worker. He has ably assisted in the publication of the school newspaper and we feel that Carl will succeed in whatever he undertakes as his life work. RQBERT MATCHICK 'gMavcus Basketball-2, 3, 4 Football-3 Yearbook-4 Marcus has left to posterity many memorable stories about his ad- ventures while behind the wheel of his beloved truck. His participa- tion in athletics includes both football and basketball, in which he played on the varsity squad. His knowledge and skill in mechanics has often amazed us, and we feel certain that Marcus will do well as an auto mechanical engineer. JAMES MILLER Hfimmyn Baseball-3, 4 Athletic Manager-1, 2 Class Officer-2, 4 Yearbook-4 Hi, Jimmy, has ben a familiar call resounding throughout the halls at M. M. I, during the past four years. Due to his pleasant per- sonality and his subtle sense of humor, Jimmy is one of the most popu- lar boys in the class. His social activities are almost a secret except for the few times he is seen at the Hazleton and Freeland youth can- teens. Although he is an occasional day dreamer, Jimmy always manages to come up with the right answers when called upon. Jimmy's per- serverance and resourcefulness assure him of a very successful future. GEORGE MGLLICK G C 7 Athletic Manager-1, 2 Band-l, 2, 3, 4 Baseball-3 George is one of the mainstays of the M. M. I. band. He leads the trumpet section, and although no person is -indispensable, George would be sorely missed. A rather quiet lad, George sits contentedly in the classroom taking everything in and smiling once in a while. He is undecided about his ambition, but will probably make-good in what- ever field he enters. f gg! f f . fc . ,t,g,,yx.,f f m f Myfirwv ?

Possessing a sharp Wit he usually has an answer for everything, although not necessarily correct. Sal can most often be found in Nick's sipping at a coke or pounding away at the pinball machine. His very generous nature is one of his main traits. A hard worker, Sal should go far in his chosen Held of dentistry. ELWOOD SCHNEIDER i'Deacon Yearbook Staff-4 Deacon can be seen almost daily riding to school in his smart, little Chevy coupe. During the noon hour he takes great delight in sound- ing his variety of warning signals, which range from foghorns and bells to lur-ing wolf whistles. He is one of the few members of our class who has traveled extensively outside our homestate, having gone almost as far as the West Coast. Elwood will always pause to hear a good joke, and his appreciative laughter can often be heard echoing near and far. We feel sure that he will attain success because of his fine abilities and traits. PAUL Sl-IARPE Paulich Basketball-2, 3, 4 Football-1, Z, 3 Baseball-2, 3, 4 Class Ciiiccr-2 Paulie is that quiet fellow Whose classroom philosophy is Speak when Spoken to .

Because hg started M. M.

Our class, as the preceding classes, was determined to make our MIN- AMEK better than ever before. We have revised several sections of it and added many new features. There are more snapshots of underclassmen and of eXtra-cur- ricular activities. In addition several hand-drawn sketches have been inserted. All of this has been accomplished Without a large increase in price.

Much of the credit for these two fine performances is due t-o Mr. Stofan, who really put much time and effort into his directors job. The first play, presented on November 19, 1948, concerned the trials and tribulations of Robbie Sawyer, the timid author of a cookbook. R-obbie's fiance, Adelaide, determined to make him appear as an athlete in order that he might win her father's consent to the marriage. After R many amusing incidents, they succeed.

The plot of 'lHome With Father cen- T ters about Qrel Burgess, a partially-retired painter, whose family of four children suddenly converges upon his house with the intcnt of staying there indeiinitely. It is then necessary f-or Mr. Burgess to devise a plan which will make his -children return to their jobs. The l excellent acting and humorous lines were re- ceived vvith great response by the audience. i . . Cast Of Characters . . Morton Simms .... ........

Once more the band has produced sweet music for enjoyment at the plays, basketball games, and our weekly assemblies. Although there was a lack of musical talent at Mining, our director formed a musical organization which was a 'credit to our school. We are certain that with such a group of serious, hard-working boys, the band will continue to be one of our most successful extra- curricular activities. gil Vqu 1 A05 'S 5 Q95 'ff-aigzwy Rou Zlnrdt Barkan1c,LeA Bartol Fdlm Fourth Ron 1 F1 dur Reluhe cra ml md dgun proved mb sxxcct mU-1C or Althuuffh t ere nmudml orvanlzatlon 1 ll gmup of -CYIOUS I Uu.v..xfUl Cx-U3 i .J-'Y' a www'- VARSITY BASKETBALL .f-C. ,v ,.... , N , Front Row-Deitch J., Durso, Watahovich, Fischer, Cstroff, Sharpe.

With the opening of the Anthracite League, the Peppers upset a highly fated Hdzle Township quintet. Our team, however, lost two games in the hrst half, one to West Hazle- tOn, and the second to our old rival, Freeland. In the starting berths could usually be found rangy Hugh Fischer at center, Brooks Holtzclaw and Bob Watahovi-ch at forward positions, and Mike Ostroff and lack Durso as guards. Paul Sharpe, acting as a utility man saw plenty of action Bill Deitch Kenny Klingerman Jim Deitch Larry Spoont and Bob Matchick all served 1n relief roles Durso served as pace setter for the team and ended the season as high-scorer. The junior members of the team showed great promise for next year. - Although the Preppers were not very successful in the second half, some prestige was again regained by the defeat of Freeland. In a post season benefit game, the Miners took a victory from Foster Town- ship. M, M, I, was then invited to enter the Bloomsburg Tournament in Class CM where they won three successive games only to lose out in the finals by a one point margin. 35 i s s E I wi Q X X x .wg-A. 5' 3 ' R X 1 -.4 1 a .Gif NX ,. if , 1 y X P A - Q VJ x f X if 5 5 J 5 X u 4 I J A x Q' A if' 3 ' b 'li N 3 X ' , xnxx X X i QX W I 1 6'-Q L-T r ..,xg,rI?,5'?fnix3 mu fx 2- -- + N aLfwE,.wx f TXT' - Qiif 9 . fi .
