Next we see a big crowd surrounding a great team, Stiney Set- cavage, John Fedorchalk, Franklin Wagner, Frank Molisius, and Joe Urban, throwing balls, but not basketballs, three shots for a dime. Being convinced by Barkers Victor Sankus and George Sherkness, we approach the ticket wagons to buy our admission tickets. Here we find Edward Northey, Rae Kasselman, Joe Va- dapalas, and John Urban-four real business hus- tlers, selling tickets. On we go to the ticket collectors, who are Samuel Babyar, Billy Foley, Mary Waba, and Valeria Yenchoris. Passing these successfully, we were next met by Alice Urbas and Mary IP Szematowicz, who presented us with a beautiful program edited by Sophie Setcavage. We now enter the first of three great tents, where are assembled an endless variety of ex- hibits. Upon entering, first to greet us were Doris Adams, Regina Baranusky, Mae Cattell, Mary Kunausky, selling souvenirs. Now we see fifteen smaller tents, each con- taining an exhibit. We enter Tent No. 1, where we are enter- tained by the Singing Trio, Hannah Golin, Sonia Moncavage, and Dorothy Swadis. In Tent No. 2 we meet Helen Cummings, Florence Coulson, and Catherine Dochney, giv-- ing cooking instructions to the men.

Last, but not least, Tommy Malone with his Lakewood Dancing Girls-Sadie Ryan, Martina Joyce, Anna Mockaitis, Olga Zeleznik, and Jane Kirchner. From here we enter the second big tent, their where the animals are being prepared for performances. Farmer Lee Creasy, with Edward Stanavage, William Sherpensky, Joe Gayusky, and Edward Kavalusky, are busy feeding the animals. We go on a little further, where we see Paul Eck, John Kohan, John Usiak, Lawrence Brady, Robert Metzger, Peter Deriscavage, Ronald IIP Schlemmer, and Edward Shenton carrying water for the elephants. Having seen the animals, we proceed to the main tent. Here we are met by a group of ushers -Robert Derrish, Leo Chicanavage, George Hume, Edward Kvaskas, Victor Gavanus, and Roman Seminack, who show us to our seats. Arriving early and while waiting for the performance to begin, we were annoyed by Charles Hess, Anthony Savaika, Nicholas Tes- Iuka, and William Svidra selling peanuts, pop- corn and candy. The show is about ready to start and now we hear several Victor Herbert selections by the orchestra, composed of Irene Kenney, leaderg Andrew Morba, Evelyn Goyne, Nancy Miles, Leonard Petcavage, Thomas Lehe, Joe Nolter, and Doro Serano. Next we have the parade around the main tent. Then they go into the rings and the show is on. First, our attention is called to the midgets- Roy Shaner and Mary Yurasek-who perform very cleverly. Next we are attracted by the Tall Man, better known as Jerome Yodesky. Then comes the Fat Man, Joe Bennett, turn- ing somersaults. Now we see Maggie and Jiggs, better known as Anna Zalas and Tommy Ryan. Next we see a wrestling match between Leonard Polubinsky and John Doranda. We are startled by great cheering and ap- plause.

We are now entertained by three very funny clowns, whom we later found out to be John Price, Francis Testen, and Michael Tynio. Now entering are five fluffily dressed girls- Isabel Holland, Rita Golden, Anna Becker, Tillie Yodesky and Ethel Harper. Into the ring they go, each riding a beautiful white horse. They are all real performers. Next enter five clever acrobats. Elizabeth Stocker, Marian Filer, Bernice Parfitt, Stella Klimowitch and Helen Magotch-up the ropes, onto the trapeze, where they perform remark- able stunts. Here come the elephants. Into the ring they go, performing unbelievable stunts, with Joe Rapach, Joe Petrasky, Angelo Olimpi, Edward Mikulas, and Edward Mikalonis as their trainers. Now entering the rings are five more acro- batic girls-Bernice Janov, Anna Yext, Dorothy Wittmer, Helen Yankus and Catherine Whit- taker. Up the poles they go, dancing on the tight ropes with remarkable skill. IP A cage of roaring lions is brought in. We then see George Brokenshire entering the cage to perform while his assistant, Henry John, waits outside to see that no harm comes to George. We now see four great bicycle riders-Frank Marcus, John Sabol, John Quinney and Michael Humanick -- direct from the six-day bicycle races. What a race! It was won by John Quin- ney. Now entering are red, green, and yellow racing cars. It looks like Barney Oldfield and his companions, but no, they are Wassil Palaima, Robert MacLaren, and Franklin Dreisbach. They are off like a shot. Round and round they go. The race is won by Robert MacLaren. Last, but by no means least, comes John Grybosh, with his M. C. H. S. monoplane, doing fancy loop the loop stunts in the air. Good luck, John! Some day you'll fly around the World. The performance is now over. We are pass- ing through the exit when we hear the clicking of typewriters and the rustle of paper, we stop, and find Anna Evans, Helen Janowitz, Cath- erine Ryan, Florence Lawler, Anna Quick, and Loretta McKerns, who gave us the report that the Circus of Life of the Class of 1936 has proven a grand success. age 681 is is Mmn-1,-A-naar: EEEEETFISEHHEH in lHFlEHFl E UH mnr n HH E M-LW-.-5,-cm,-urs E EE ' . i ts if r 1' Teena ' fk U t 1 if F iriiiia einem, t -5? mmnrm UF mmm if-' CLASS WILL E, THE High School Class of Nineteen Hun- dred Thirty-six, of the Borough of Maha- noy City, County of Schuylkill and State of Pennsylvania, with the understanding that We must now depart into the World, do hereby make, publish and declare this to be our Last Will and Testament.

ESTERDAY is gone, it is futile to spend your time considering what has already hap- pened. There is no power on earth that can alter the past. You must accept what has already hap- pened with resignation. All the regret and sor- row that is spent on contemplating the mishaps of yesterday is wasted energy. The past is a closed book. No matter how much energy is expended, it cannot be opened. Common sense advises you not to try it. Tomorrow is uncertain, no one can foretell the future, claims of seers and fortune tellers to the contrary notwithstanding. To spend precious hours trying to penetrate the veil of time is sheer folly. The dreamer who serenely dwells in the future can never succeed. Although it is claimed that many famous persons were dreamers in their youth, careful investigation, plus common sense, belies this statement. There is an old adage which satisfactorily expresses these sentiments. It states: Do not count your chickens before they are hatched. Metaphorically, the future is a book which has not yet been printed. It can be opened, but, behold, the pages within are entirely blank. Today is here, the present is a cold, concrete reality. Here is something you can see and reg- ulate. You are what you make yourself. Your destiny is in your hands, and not in the hands of anyone else. You can see and understand the present just as you can read and understand a book which has been published for you to read. And, in addition, you can shape your future. What you do now, will have a marked effect on your destiny. Do not spend the present in idleness. Use it! And, don't just use it, but use it to the best of your ability. Devote all your time and ability to bettering yourself. The more you exert yourself now, the more you will get out of life in the future. Bread cast upon the waters will return a hundredfoldf' preaches the Bible. Do not waste your time. Use it! Use it now! Use it as best you know how! If you tend to the present, the future will take care of itself. Use every idle moment so that when the time comes you will be able to proudly take your place in the world. -LEONARD A. PETCAVAGE.

C. H. S. Many went out for football, some made the team, others had to wait another year or two, outstanding among those who made it was John Fedorchalk. When basketball sea- son came the Class of ,36 made a name for itself by Winning the Inter-Class Tournament. Fedor- chalk received his letter in basketball and track. The Freshman year Was a memorable one for the Class of '3 6. In the beginning of the Sophomore year the Girls, and Boys' Choruses were formed. The class continued to be active in sports and proved their Worth by Winning the Inter-Class Tour- naments. It was in that year that Irene Kenney received honorable mention for her excellent violin playing. In the Junior year the class had its first taste of responsibility in electing officers. Red and White were selected as colors. The following oflicers were elected: T. MALONE ,..,..,. .President J. URBAN ....... Vice-President M. LOWE . . ,,,.. Secretary M. SLABEY , . . . .Treasurer They continued their good Work in sports and music, many taking leading parts in the operetta, ulolanthef, The Junior year gave many reasons for expecting big things of the Class of '36. JP When the Senior year came, the class began to feel important. In September a class meeting was held and the following officers were elected: S. SETCAVAGE ....,.,.. President T. MALONE ..,,.. Vice-President M. LOWE ..,. ..... S ecretary J. URBAN .... .... T reasurer Some were appointed to the YEAR BOOK staff, others took part in the Forensic League contest, While others contented themselves with glory on the athletic field. As the year ended, everyone was prepared to step into his path of life and face the world. -JOSEPH BENNETT. age 71 J +L H M 'kh Ek -- Q T HEBHD Maki-C' 'HK F.

It sets us forward with beating heart, For the time has come for our depart. That big event is Graduation Day, The biggest of all our life, we say. Some will say we're glad to go, But deep down in our heart it isn't so. Witli our heads up high, and heart down low, We,re ready to go, but, oh, how slow. Our hurried steps all just seem to drag As we ourselves behind do lag. Oh, how we wish we could go back, Start over with courage we once lacked. Promises to study, and do our part, Forgiveness, and pity, in our heart. Saying to ourselves, why act like fools When we could have worked with our tools. Instead we put it on a dusty shelf, Never trying to better ourself. But we are ready to struggle with work, Laziness never in our path will lurk. These are the promises we all will take, Something of ourselves we try to make. Smiles on our faces, diplomas in hand, Into our places we,re ready to stand.

Standing on the threshold of a new enterprise, we were going to attain the goal for which we were fighting. As our Freshman year passed, leaving its mark on us, we became accustomed to the new subjects and ways of learning. We are moving slowly forward. The first twenty-five yards were gained. Miss Thomas and Mr. Kilkuskie were added to the faculty our Hrst year. During our Sophomore year we reached the half-way mark. The operetta Iolanthe was presented this year with quite a number of our members taking part. Here and there we saw Sophomores peeking through the ranks of great athletes. Miss Holman, Miss Chesko and Miss O'Don- nell were added to the faculty our Sophomore year. Now, as Juniors, we find the athletes that were merely peeking the previous year, at the top of the rank. Two boys held regular positions on the basketball team and five were first-liners on the bootball squad. Also as Juniors, the min- strel, Land o' Cotton, was presented by the Juniors under the supervision of Miss Ryan and Miss Ball. Then, too, the Juniors have shown in other extra-curricular activities. One of our feminine members ranked very high in Pennsylvania in extemporaneous speaking. An athlete in our class created a new regional record in the half-mile race. The Junior Class is proud to include among its members two popular singers, who have sung over the radio several times. Although our Junior year was about over, we accomplished our purpose and a class meeting was held, with the following results: President, . . ,EDWARD DZIADOSZ Vice-Presialefzt, .JOHN GABUZDA Secretary ..... HAZEL SCHLEGEL Treasurer CHRISTINE CATTELL In addition to the election of officers, the members of the Junior Class selected class colors. Lavender and White were chosen as emblematic of the spirit of the Class of '37. Having com- pleted the regular business of the Junior Class, we are turning our attention to serious studying as we look forward to the future. With three-quarters of the way gained, we are waiting, looking back reluctantly, but for- ward with eagerness. We are lined up in position now, looking across at our goal. One-quarter of the way to go! With one more year of train- ing we hope to gain that yardage and then we shall be ready to face the knocks and tackles that make up life. -HAZEL SCHLEGEL. -SARAH TULIN.

Looking back into the history of the Class of ,38, we find that as our first year passed we became loyal supporters of our Alma Mater and with sincere interest we gained recognition by participating in many curricular events. In the way of assembly programs, we sponsored a few, two of which were the Thanksgiving and Val- entine's Day programs. The latter, entitled, Valentines, Comic and Serious, was a huge success, having been directed by two members of the faculty. We were well represented on the Honor Roll, and the Orchestra, Band, N uggezf, Football and Basketball teams and Choruses, all boasted many members from our class. Successfully completing our first happy year, we came back in the fall of nineteen hundred thirty-five with an air of the experience and assurance of a Sophomore, to spend another year with our Alma Mater. We resumed our former duties and positions with much vigor and pep. A keener interest was shown concerning school affairs. This year the members had charge of the Columbus Day and Memorial Day enter- tainments. The Nugget now boasts of six Soph- IP omores. We have still held our rating on the Honor Roll. Extra activities have always been well at- tended and enjoyed. Our school,s Varsity Bas- ketball and Football teams have listed a number of Sophomore champions. Chorus members also rend more credit and honor to our class. Debates and class meets have shown the literary side to members. A Creative English Club, formed for the purpose of bringing together those who had a tendency to blossom forth in words, produced some fine specimens of fruit. Musical talent has also been proved by the members adding to the Band, Orchestra, and Vocal Choruses, and it is the wish of all that these members will continue to take an active part in school activities. Two winning years have proved our rank and prestige. We firmly hope that we shall con- tinue our aim and become worthy alumni of our dear Alma Mater, and we join in congrat- ulating and wishing our sister class the best of everything in the worldg hoping that she will always remain honest and upright, and loyal to our Alma Mater, and we hope that we, too, and all future classes, will follow in your footsteps and revere the ideals set by you. -MARIE D'AM1co. -DOROTHY KLEIN. age 75 1 n. .

They were the humble, low Freshmen, although not lacking spunk, afraid of their upper-classmen. It was a strange sight to see them meekly ask a teacher or a student where a certain locker could be found. In spite of these incidents they started out with vim and vigor, determined to show these upper-classmen what they could do to make their four years successful. The scholastic and athletic activities showed the Freshmen doing their part. They had charge of the Christmas program, rendered an enjoyable fashion show, and the Girls' Chorus sang a can- tata for Easter. These programs were enjoyed by all and showed the entertaining side of these students. Already two young boys, Ralph Wagner and Victor Dembrowski, have shown their athletic ability by playing on the Jay Vee team in basket- ball, and many others are following. Although the girls did not excel in athletics this year, there are a few prospects for future years. English Clubs and History Clubs have been organized in various sections. They have been active in their work, and also a few parties have been held with the money from the treasury. The determination to rank high has found its goal with a large percentage of the class. In the midst of a successful year, this class experienced a great sorrow by losing one of its members, Ernest Oniffery, who died of pneu- monia. The end of the school term brings to the close a happy and eventful year for the Fresh- men. This successful year will be their guide throughout the remainder of their High School career. The faculty of the High School will feel proud of the Class of ,39 for the spirit to make good, shown in entering, and the hope that this spirit will be carried through the remaining three years to a successful conclusion. -MILDRED OBERSON. fPage 761 fp 4 mm H A M---1-Q-'M-W EEE .

BACHELOR'S CHOICE GG ACHELOR,S CHOICE,,, a three-act comedy, Written by Frances Huntley, was delight- fully presented by members of the Senior Class on April 15. This was one of the most modern plays ever presented by a High School. The theme of the play is very interesting. It takes up the problems of a musically-inclined mother, Whose greatest ambitions is to groom her young and beautiful daughter to be a radio singer. The daughter is entered in a contest to win two thousand dollars, but it seems to be an omen of ill luck, for one misfortune after an- other seems to overtake the family. Cas! of Cbamrters MRS.

HALP'BACK RESUME OF GAMES Mahanoy City, 32. COIIjll7gh6ll1l Twp., O. Mahanoy City High School opened its foot- ball season on September 21, by defeating Con- yngham Township by the score of 32 to 0. The Maroon, under a new system, and with practic- ally all rookies could not get started in the first half, scoring only one touchdown. Beginning the second half the Maroon ran roughshod over their opponents. Opening the third period Ma- hanoy scored when Fedorchalk intercepted a pass to run fifty-live yards for a touchdown. The third touchdown came as a result of an eighty-yard march down Held, with Frank Set- cavage going over. Stiney Setcavage and Joe Kilkuskie scored the other two touchdowns, while Yext and Fedorchalk converted two extra points. Mahanoy City, 6. Allentown, 18. Mahanoy City High School lost its first Con- ference game of the season, at Allentown, when Allentown High defeated the rookie ensemble of Coach Kilkuskie. Mahanoy scored in the sec- ond period as the result of a pass from Joe Set- cavage to Charley Urban, who ran ten yards for a touchdown. Beginning the second half, the weight and superior number of players began to tell on the Maroon chargers. As a result Allen- town scored when Perilla dashed over for a touchdown. Perilla and McFadden scored the other two touchdowns in the third and final periods, respectively. Mahanoy City, 12. Tamaqzm, O. Mahanoy scored its first Conference victory by defeating a stubborn Tamaqua team by the IP WILLIAM EoLEY EDWARD NORTHEY Stzicient Managers score of 12 to 0, in a night game, at Tamaqua. To win, Mahanoy outgained her opponents in the air and from scrimmage. Nearing the first half with the score deadlocked at nothing all, Stan Setcavage faded back and rifled a perfect pass to Stan Sekula, who caught the ball on the dead run and then sprinted thirty yards for a touchdown. In the iinal quarter Stan Setcavage and John Fedorchalk alternated in carrying the ball, with Fedorchalk going over. Conversion failed and the game ended a few minutes later. Mahanoy City, 6. Minersville, 0. Under the flood lights, on a strange field, Ma- hanoy City High won their second consecutive Conference game and third of the season by de- feating a game and willing Minersville team by the score of 6 to 0. After being held scoreless in the first half, the Maroon scored in the third pe- riod after a march of forty yards, with John Fedorchalk going over on a twelve-yard romp. age 931 MWm7A2'Tz1Zf12!f EEFE SFE QHAA Ma -'C' 'HTS a n: H E l f- EEE 'M 'm i n H EHHEE I l gr I, ,, EB E , ' 1 -- M is Q L 'V' -,'T L 111.1 li l'.

Much credit must be given to the line- men, who proved themselves iron-men by play- ing the entire game without a substitution. For Mahanoy the work of Stan and Frank Setcavage and John Fedorchalk was outstanding. Mahanoy City, 0. Pottsville, 13. The Maroon lost its second Conference game of the season when a highly touted Pottsville team downed them, 13 to 0, before approxi- mately 9,000 people. Pottsville scored when a kick was blocked, deep in Mahanoy territory, in the first period and four plays later Dietrich passed to Striegel for a touchdown. Hochgertle converted on a rush. In the final period Dietrich scored on a short line buck. Mahanoy's only scoring opportunity came in the first period when Joe Setcavage intercepted a Pottsville pass on the thirty-yard line but a fumble ruined the Maroon's chances. Mahanoy City, 0. Shezmndoah, 14. Mahanoy City High School, playing its fifth consecutive game away from home and the fourth in succession under the floodlights, bowed again. The Blue Devils of Shenandoah High up- set them by the score of 14 to 0. Shenandoah took the opening kick-off and seemed headed for a touchdown, but the Maroon held and kicked out of danger. Shenandoah started down the field again, but Mahanoy held on their own ten-yard line. A punt was held back by the wind and as the second period began, Alex rushed for a touchdown. In the final period, Michulsky, of Shenandoah, intercepted a pass and raced forty- five yards for a touchdown. When Alex con- verted it made it 14 to 0. Mahanoy City, 20. Frackville, 18. Mahanoy City High, after losing two con- secutive games, came back strong and defeated a big Frackville team by the score of 20 to 18. Mahanoy's first score came as a gift when Sha- fer kicked over the goal line, the Frackville backs, instead of touching it down, allowed Frank Setcavage to recover for a touchdown. Fedorchalk converted. Frackville came back strong and scored two touchdowns, to take the lead at the half, 12 to 7. On the opening kick-off, Joey Urban picked up the ball and dashed eighty yards for a touchdown through the entire Frack- ville team. Frackville scored a touchdown, to give them the lead, 18 to 13. The Maroon brought the ball up the field on passes and Stan Set- cavage crashed over from the two-yard line.

The Maroon won their fifth game of the sea- son by defeating a strong West Hazleton team by the score of 6 to 0. Battling on even terms for the first three periods without even being in scoring territory, the game proved to be a punt- ing duel between Fedorchalk and Scotnick, with Scotnick getting the better of it. Fate played a hand when Scotnick got off a poor kick, which traveled to his own forty-six-yard line. Maha- noy went into the air and brought the ball up to the one-yard line, where Fedorchalk ploughed his way for the only score. Conversion failed and Mahanoy led, 6 to 0. West Hazleton, in a last desperate attempt, went into the air, but Tom Pugh intercepted and Mahanoy held on to the ball until the game finished. Mahanoy City, 26. Coal Township, 13. Mahanoy City High won her sixth game of the season by defeating Coal Township, 26 to 13, at Shamokin. Mahanoy City scored in the first minute of play when Fedorchalk traveled fif- teen yards for a touchdown. Joe Setcavage converted and Mahanoy led, 7 to 0. Beginning the second half, Coal Township took advantage IP , N. of two Mahanoy fumbles and converted them into touchdowns, to take the lead, 13 to 7. Mahanoy tied it up a few minutes later when Stan Setcavage threw a twenty-five-yard pass to Sekula for a touchdown. In the fourth period Fedorchalk ploughed his way over for a touch- down, to give Mahanoy the lead, 20 to 13. Ma- hanoy City sewed up the ball game when Stan Setcavage sprinted twenty-six yards for a touch- down, to give them the game, 26 to 13. Mahanoy City, 32. Freeland, 0. Old Jupe Pluvius ruined the day for Maha- noy's finale game of the season when the Maroon gridders and Freeland played through the rain on Thanksgiving Day. The Maroon won her fourth consecutive game and seventh in ten starts when they defeated Freeland by the score of 32 to 0. Playing her Hrst home game on Thanksgiving Day in ten years, the Maroon made short work of Freeland when Stan Setcavage lobbed a pass to Joey Urban for a touchdown. Fedorchalk scored later when he sprinted thirty-five yards for a touchdown, to give Mahanoy the lead at the half, 13 to 0. Mahanoy counted in the third period when Desrosiers scored a touchdown. In the final period Stan Setcavage and Yext went over, to bring it to 32 to 0, ending the season with the same score as they had in the first game. age 951 Mann- cw,-urs li -- - - - ginm w aerr r ni na - - R- - f AAKULUUW M TZKIACYC m Eli MGM HK fgumimmimm N L J R' 'J DATIQ December 6 December 15 December 20 December Z7 january 3 january 7 January I0 January I7 january 21 January 24 January 31 February 5 PLACL Home Home Away Home Away Home Home Away Home Away Home Home BASKETB LL Ojffcers Coach .

On December 27, Mahanoy City defeated Gilberton, at the Mahanoy Township Gym. This game was an exhibition game for each team.

Hazleton, 28. Mahanoy City traveled to Hazleton and sus- tained their second league defeat, on January 3. The game was roughly played. Stiney Setcavage again hurt his knee and had to leave the game.

The Mahanoy Township Gym was the scene of another Maroon victory on January 7, when the Mahanoy five defeated the Coaldale High School Hve, a member of the Carbon-Schuylkill League, by the score of 36 to 23.

Mahanoy City opened their second half of the league play with a defeat when they traveled to Pottsville and were defeated on January 24.

This victory atoned for the defeat the Maroon suffered at Bethlehem earlier in the season. Mahanoy City, 24. Shemmdoab, 26. Mahanoy City was defeated by Shenandoah at the Township Gym on February 5, 1936, in a game that took an extra period to decide the winner. This was the biggest upset of the year. Shenandoah, another member of the Carbon- Schuylkill League, was lost on the spacious Town- ship floor and Mahanoy led, 10 to 2, at the end of the first quarter. However, Shenandoah fought back and finally won the game in the extra period, when Koveleski tossed in a field goal. Mahanoy City, 41. Coalctalcf, 27. Mahanoy City traveled to Coaldale on Feb- ruary 12, 1936, and repeated their victory over that team earlier in the season.

Gabuzda and Sekula stood out for Mahanoy, each scoring six- teen points. Mahanoy City, 25. Hazleton, 33. Mahanoy City again went down in defeat at the hands of the Hazleton five in a game that was played at the Township Gym on February 14, 1936. The Maroon was hopeful of defeating Hazleton, in order to keep in the running for top honors, but Hazletorfs height and expe- rience again told and Hazleton won by the score of 33 to 25. Sekula's work stood out for the Maroon. Mahanoy City, 28. Tanmqzuz, 41. Tamaqua High, playing on their own floor, avenged their defeat earlier in the season by de- feating the Maroon by the score of 41 to 28, on February 18, 1936.

Helen Yankus was voted cap- tain by the members of the squad. The Universals were organized during che season 1933-34. During this time there have been no changes made, with the ex- ception of the addition of two new members this past season. The Universals started their games March 17, when they de- feated the Marines by the score of 28-11. In quick succession they also defeated the Junior Varsity, Cadets, che Rockets and the Senior Varsity. The forwards, Helen Yankus and Constance Walinchus, de- serve much praise for their excellent work in shooting. They are the high scorers for their team. Anna Yext, one of the guards, deserves much credit for keep- ing the ball in the possession of her team and keeping up the spirit of the team in black moments. The remaining members of the team all did very excellent work and all were rewarded by win- ning the last game of the season, which gave this team the cham- pionship.

When the season of 1935-36 opened, Nellie Foley unex- pectedly dropped from the team. This unfortunate incident seemed to undermine the cooperation of the team. The Rockets still had Anna Mockaitis and Eleanor Boczkowski to count on as forwards. The opening game played by the Rockets was against the Uni- versals, who won the game. Then the Rockets played the Senior Varsity and again lost. On March 10th, their opponents were the Marines, and the Rockets, fortunately, won the game. Against the Cadets the Rockets again lost. The last game of the season the Rockets Won from the Junior Varsity and closed the season. Anna Mockaitis, high scorer of the team, played a brilliant game of basketballg Eleanor Boczkowski also came in for honors. The remaining members of the team played their positions with zeal and energy and helped greatly to Win the games.

After two years of steady teamwork, they came through in their last year by winning all their games but the last one, when they bowed to the Universals by a score of 18 to 6. There is no question as to the supremacy of Bunny Janov in the forward position. Of all the points made by the team, Bunny made half of them. With Marion Novak as the other forward, the two were sure to bring the score up high.

CONGRATULATIONS STUDE TS! WE salute you as those who have earned a High School Di- ploma and the educational preparation to go on to larger things- perhaps to an institution of higher learning, perhaps to immedi- ately take your place in the world of trades and business. YOU may be dreaming dreams of the great things you will sometimes do, of the coveted position in life to which you aspire. Of the possible things in life there is little that you cannot dog the doing of which, however, calls for all that a man or woman has of ambition, of perseverance and the determination to succeed. The thrill of accomplishment, the satisfaction of having done your best, makes every effort in every task worthwhile. Always remember that. Remember, too, that no honest task is so humble but that the spirit of the worker, entering into it, cannot make it beautiful. THOUGH we don't offer ourselves as an example, we are proud of the work we dog of the place we occupy in the affairs of men. Our service to you and to the rest of our patrons has been and always will be a service most pleasant and one in which we ever try to do our best. Schu lkill Transportation Compan CI-IAS. D.

Another edition of the MAROON and BLACK has rolled from the presses and We join with the many, many friends of the grad- uates in congratulating them for a fine job, Well done. As it stands, the annual might Well take its place with the finest of high school annuals throughout the country, and to the members of the Staff, to its contributors, We extend congratulations. The MARCON and BLACK, 1936, is a product of the Book and Job Department of The Record-American, and for that rea- son, We feel doubly proud in the presentation of such remarkable and beautiful an annual. It is with justifiable pride, too, that we point out The Nugget. The student publication of Mahanoy City High School, likewise, is printed by The Record-American in the same department that turned out the MAROON and BLACK. All printing of the Mahanoy City High School Alumni Associa- tion, the group that brings together so many hundreds of graduates of the school, dating now from the first graduating class to this year, is done by this office, and has resulted in general satisfaction to its officers, executive board and members. A We can only express our heartfelt thanks and appreciation to the Faculty Advisers and the Staff of the student publications, and the Alumni Association for their cooperation with us and their en- dorsement of our printing. ,41?9F'5'CQq UNIO - ' w esef f THE RECCRD-AMERICAN IA UNION LABEL PRINT SHOP!
