Instead of featuring the images and activities of average boys and girls about to as- sume their work in a civilized world, this book will record the images and activities of boys and girls about to assist in the annihilation of brutality and tyranny. Apprehension and doubt have not shrouded the spirit of American youth. During the terrible days of Bataan, our students remembered the sufferings and sharp defeat at Valley Forge that were but an opening scene to a drama which had its ending in a glorious American triumph. Within the walls of M. C. H. S. we have met the moulders of our characters. Our subjects have been designed to pro- duce efficient, patriotic citizensg our extra-curricular activi- ties have supplemented our scholastic makeup with a sense of humor and sportsmanship that is typically American. The class of 43 is proud of its school and country. It is determined to bring honor to both by lending a hand to the long chain of Workers laboring to finish an unpleasant task. To acquaint boys and girls with this inevitable duty before them, is the purpose of this annual. I Page 4 I 911, PAUL R. PETRUCKA SLLOND LIl,Ul'lNANI', UN1r1.u S1,x'n:s MARINI.

Little did they realize that they were exercising a specific freedom shared by all Americans-Freedom of Assembly. This was only one of the freedoms present at this gathering. All the other freedoms were shown. as the dedication followed through. Freedom of speech, religion, press and action were repeated throughout the program. l Page 6 j James Gallagher, Esq., a veteran of Wforld War I, delivered the dedicatory address with a simplicity and earnestness which stirred each auditor's heart. He declared the stadium dedicated to youth and good sportsmanship. Then he informed the attentive throng that this stadium should be forever known as the East End Park Memorial Stadium in memory of the honored dead who had served our country to the last full measure of devotion. Fair play, good sportsmanship, a cheering crowd, gay, conhdent With- out fearg our flag, colorful, significant and free, against a background of azure, the memory of the Americans who died to preserve the American way of life: these are Worth fighting for! I Page 7 1 FREE SCHOCLS TODAY we enjoy the pleasures of modern schooling which our forefathers fought for. They undertook this great task hopefully to provide their children and generations to come with education and knowledge of the world. They had small, rude cabins and rooms made of logs, while at present we have great universities and colleges made strongly of brick. If they did have heat it was just a small, open fire- place, we possess the advantages of modern heating. Their desks were made of logs a little higher than the floor, they used charcoal and a slate for writing. Our desks are smooth and adjusted properly for writing, we use pens and pencils and paper as our writing implements, Children and men anxi ' ' ious to gain knowledge walked many miles, sometimes in bad weather. The government has provided schools wilh buses for transportation of those who live .1 distance from the school. XVe are proud to boast a great is progressing rapidly, while men of teaching system which past days were satisfied with one teacher to teach all sub- jects, e blih ' ' ' ' sta is discipline and enforce order. Yes, we can go on and on, comparing and describing the advantages of today and disadvantages of yesterday. That generation knew that education was necessary and felt that no sacrifice was too great, they knew it was worth fighting for L't . C. US feel the same. liducation is the greatest and n mst profitable investment man can make. Freedom to learn! This is worth fighting for! .F-a,Cl,iff1!, ROBERT T. COOK P rin cipzzl MR. JOSEPH COOK Mk. josrtm-i Coon, father of Captain Robert Cook, Principal of the Mahanoy City High School, was drafted L0 Ell the unexpired term of a member of the Board of Education who marched off to the wars. Mr. Cook has served in the past as a Board member and he under- stands the duties and responsibilities which are his. At a reorganization meeting, Mr. Cook was elected President of the Board of Education. Since Mr. Cook had served in several capacities in his former terms as a director, this election met with general approval. Mr. Cook, a capable officer, has the best interests of the edu- cational program of M. C. H. S. at heart, and we know, will prove untiring in his efforts to further this program, BOARD OF EDUCATION To THE members of the Mahanoy City Board of Educa- tion the class of 1945 wishes to tender its deep gratitude for their keen interest in student problems, their whole- hearted cooperation, and their genuine efforts to better the educational program of Mahanoy City High School and furnish the students with a well-equipped, modern institution despite the difficulties which occur during time of war, Two members of the Board of Education, Dr. E, Harry McCue and Mr. Thomas Monaghan, are serving in the armed forces. Mr. joseph Cook and Mr. Walter Myer were appointed to fill the vacancies caused by the absence of Dr. McCue and Mr. Monaghan. The dedication of the East End Park Memorial Stadium crowned the untiring efforts of the Board of Education to provide an adequate recreational center for M. C. H. S. We, the class of 1943, wish to express our thanks to the gentlemen of the Board for their unceasing efforts tu provide us with an excellent educational foundation. CAl l'AIN Roix1:ir'1' T, Cook, principal of our high school, is serving in ment now the Armed Forces with the Military Police Detach- stationed at Fort Dix, New jersey. He attended the Provost-Marshal school in Michigan and has served a instructor Captain during his discipline. XVC Wish in the use of the pistol. Cook was with us but a short time. Nevertheless, brief stay he inspired the students with respect for Captain Cook the best of luck in his military career. 5 l Page l0 1 MR. JOSEPH E. BOYLE, M. A. Superi1zte11de111f ll' You could participate in an auditorium period and witness the unstinting applause amd genuine enthusiasm which greets Mr. Boyle's every appearance before the student body you would realize that he possesses the respect and affection of the school. Mr, Boyle is one of the few teachers and administrators who have accomplished this feat. His eflicient administration and excellent disciplinary powers have given him the esteem of all his colleagues. His deep interest in the individual student and his understanding of a student's problems capped by his kindly humor has won the students' sincere esteem. We believe that a person like Mr. Boyle makes his own good luck. But if good wishes will add more success, here are the best wishes of '43. W'e know some of thc difficulties he encountered and we want him to know that we hope the future years will have no obstacles that cannot be handled as efficiently as he has handled his problems in this war year 1943. l MR. HOWARD C. AMOUR Acting Principal Mir. Howaim C. Amouk, a former member of the Faculty of Mahanoy City High School, replaced Mr. Cook as Principal of our High School for the duration of the war. Mr. Amour attended the Shenandoah High School and upon his graduation entered Penn State College from which he was graduated with the degree of Bachelor of Science. He was .1 Manual Training teacher for a number of years. Mr. Amour has taught the following subjects during the past three years: General Science, Plane Geometry, Solid Geometry and Trig- onometry, He is also the Faculty Manager of Athletics and during the past year has been appointed Supervisor of the Penn State Wfar Courses. The class of '43 wishes to extend its appreciation to Mr. Amour for his outstanding work performed as an acting Prin- , cipal, and wish him the best of success in the years to come. fPage 1.11 MISS ESTELLA M.

HERE you see members of our faculty and of our Board of Education who are serving in the armed forces of our country, the United States of America. We honor them. Yes, and perhaps We envy them for they have an opportunity to serve the flag and to aid their country in a very tangible and real fashion. But on the home front we are also trying to be good soldiers. Mem- bers of our faculty have been active in the sale of War Savings Stamps and Bondsg they act as instructors of Surgical Dressings classesg they de- vote at least one night a Week to the making of Surgical Dressingsg they serve as advisors to the Junior Red Cross and see that afghans are made, and puzzles and games sent to convalescent soldiers or sailors in hospitalsg they serve in civilian defense postsg and finally, they act as advisors to the High School Victory Corps.

They try to see how many jeeps the school can buy with che stamp sales which are never endingg they bring in tin cans and rubber objects for salvageg several are members of a Surgical Dressings classg others belong to the Victory Corpsg still others till victory gardens. M. C. H. S. is wholeheartedly engaged in the war effort. We have not forgotten the members of the faculty or Board of Education who are absent because of this war. We mean to do our best to go beyond the goals set for us, that when these men return, they will be as proud of our war record as We will be of their war record. x -e'.- ,gb I Page 19 1 FREEDOM OF SPEECH SPLECH formulates propagandafand propaganda formulates public opii thrown into prison if they expressed their opinion against the actions of any leaderg today we can express our own opinion about politics and political leaders and it may lead to improvement of government. W'hen Patrick Henry began his famous speech, the audience booed and jeered at him in an attempt lo prevent him from continuing. Today, when a man wishes to make a speech, the people gather in a hall and listen intently, and some may approve, and others criticize his speech. We have the right to stand up in class and speak on national :md international subjects.

Enthusiastic, eager, wide-eyed, yet ready to adapt ourselves to our new surroundings, we became ardent followers of the High School System. Basketball, football and other activities appealed to the freshmen, who were represented on Mahanoy teams wherever they Went. Our relentless ambition and the conquering of new fields helped us attain our goals. Many of the boys showed outstanding musical talent and became members of the High School Band. Many of the girls were found to be musically inclined also, and they became active members of the Girls' Drum and Bugle Corps. Members of our class were elected to both Houses of the Student Council. In the operetta, The Gondoliers, the first freshman ever to have a leading part came from our class. As sophomores, we continued to play important roles in sports, Forensic League and other extra-curricular activities. We wish to ex- press our sincere gratitude to our Superintendent, our Principal and our class Counselor for helping us over the rough spots. To the seniors, our sister class, we owe a debt for their cooperation in helping to build a democratic system in our fine educational institution. We hope that our class of '45 will continue to follow the fine examples they have set for us. -JOSEPH DERRISH I Page Z2 1 I I Vin' I'1'1'.vi4li'lli Plf.Tl:1R HONOl:SKY T1'viu n wr MARY JANE GATILLY Svzvrturpj' EVELYN SETEVAGE Prrxizlrul JOHN Bnoss I JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY IT SEEMS but yesterday that we were accus- toming ourselves to a new and busier life at M. C. H. S. How green we must have been in appearance to the seniors in that year of 1940. Then came a second year. Some of us really began to participate in all of the extra curricular activities. The Easter Cantata was sung by a chorus of sophomore girls and we were also rep- resented in the opera 'tThe Gondoliersf' Our boys began to display their ability and paved their way to gain regular posi- tions on the football and basketball teams. Another year passed, only to find us striving harder to attain the goal of all upper-classmen. For the Hrst time in the school's history a Victory Corps was formed, which included the following clubs: Mathematics, Com- munications, Meteorology and Astronomy and Hiking Clubs. A number of our members have become Nugget reporters and are trying to achieve editorial positions. The success of this year's Band, Drum and Bugle Corps, and Orchestra can be at- tributed to Mr. William C. Becker. Many juniors took part in these activities. Many girls and boys shared in the making of the intramural basketball teams. Al- though in football our defeats overbalanced our victories, M. C. H. S. kept up a school spirit that one cannot help but admire. Wheim football season was over, basket- ball was ushered in, and a number of junior boys endeavored to make the season suc- cessful. Student Congress undertook the sale of War Bonds and Stamps, and when M. C. H. S. was called upon to aid in the war effort the juniors joined the other classes. A new system of electing class officers was introduced by the faculty whereby these officers were chosen to represent the junior class: President .. . . ....,... .JOHN Bnoss Vice President ...PETER HONOFSKY Secretary. . . EVELYN SETEVAGE Treasurer . . ..... MARY JANE GATELY We wish to extend a word of apprecia- tion to Miss Mary Smith, Junior Counselor, and the Junior Faculty, under whose guid- ance we have achieved much of our success. Hail!

We spent our freshman and sophomore years doing the same sort of ordinary things that freshmen and sophomores were doing all over the country, scarcely noticing the war clouds gathering on the horizon. We took a prominent part in high school activities those first two years. Musically inclined, our members enjoyed participating in the Band, Drum and Bugle Corps, Or- chestra, Choral Groups and the opera, The Chimes of Normandyf' It was during our sophomore year that a group of our members originated the High School Swing Band. Rose Durkin, our pride and joy, was chosen Drum Majorette that year and has done an outstanding job ever since. The interest in sports was high, with basketball, football, volley ball and track drawing the most interest. Student Congress was in the seedling stage during our freshman year, but through constant nourishment on the part of the class of '43 it has grown into a vital factor in the life of the school. During those first two years we partici- pated in numerous clubs with relish, en- joyed dances, assembly programs and voca- tions as did twenty million other normal high school children. Then it happened-we were juniors. We no longer slunk around corners upon the approach of a senior. We could hold up our heads, why we were practically grown up. Yes-then it happened. December 7, 1941! When the shock of the Hrst blow wore off, we began to realize that we had a job to do. The country began to shift gears in preparation for its mortal combat, and we realized that we had to shift our gears, too, or be last in the shuffle. As juniors, we shifted into high-every lesson became important-everything we did was done with the thought, 'twill it help the war effort? We still went to our dances, put on an operetta, The Gondoliers, turned out en masse at sports contests, joined the boys' and girls, gym exhibitions, and invaded the music field, Nugget staff and Forensic League. We elected four capable leaders who di- rected our activities successfully. as President. ,...... .WILLIAM KLEIN Vive President. . .,.. .... . HARRY LITSCH Secretary. ....,,..

W'e plunged into the war effort with a will-selling war stamps and bonds, organizing a flourishing Victory Corps, supporting thc Red Cross 100W strong and corresponding with service men. We saw most of our friends and acquaintances, many of them alumni of the school, pass into the rapidly expanding Armed Forces. Our principal, Captain Robert Cook, led the parade, followed by Lieut. Albert Lutkowskas, Lieut. John Joyce, Pfc. Mark Noonan, Pfc. George Engle, Pvt. Norman jones. We saw a '41 alumnus, John Wycheck, receive the Distinguished Flying Cross, XVC examined the draft cards of several senior boys. Otherwise we proceeded normally. Sports still were in the spotlight. Seniors held key positions on the football squadg Russell Lahutsky, Raymond Serano, joseph Weber, Thomas Schukis, john Setevagc and Daniel Doyle led our basketball quintet to the Western Division title of the Black Diamond League, the senior girls' basketball team Temple reigned as champions of the schoolg the gym exhibitions were again successful. The senior play Incognito was a dramatic hit, the Forensic League boasted five seniors, the Swing Band became increasingly popular.

These privileges are worth fighting for, and we are ready to fight and work for them! -LOUISE LIEBY.

To act as one wishes is about the greatest of freedoms Freedom of action is contained in the other Five Freedoms, To ,gather at a football or basketball game or to go to parties and dances is really acting freely. In our forefathers' time, any actions which seemed suspicious to the ruling class may have led to the death of the people committing these actions. Yes, it was Washingtoii who lcd the army against the British in order that his people might act freely, as they wished to do. We have cherished this Freedom, and are lighting to preserve this Freedom. We should take advantage of it, su far as it does not interfere with the law. Freedom of Action!

The great men of yesterday such as Clay, Webster, Henry and many other famous men gathered together and discussed and debated many problems. Today, we not only gather together in halls, but even on the corners of streets people gather together and exchange ideas. It was a hard light to gain Freedom of Assembly, and the first real Assembly was held at Convention Hall, where the first Congress had met. The people of today have immeasurable privileges, when com-- pared with the privileges of oppressed peoples of war-torn countries. At present in Hitlerized Europe no gatherings whatsoever are allowed to be held, and to gather together may mean the lives of the participants, We, however, may gather together to hold parties and dances and enjoy that right for which our fore- fathers have fought. Freedom of Assembly! This is worth fighting for. 5 EDITOR AND ASSISTANT EDITOR YEARBOOK STAFF UWHERE is Freedom of the Press? Where is Danny Sieck with his basketball section? What has happened to the seniors? Didn't Jean Coulson finish the division page for activities?', The atmosphere of T-6 is abuzz with these and similar questions. The Yearbook must go to press. With the hard Work of an able staff our yearbook is made ready for the printer. We hope this yearbook will bring glimpses of the seniors' numerous activities and that it will be as a reminder of the gay times you had to- gether during your high school career. More than ever this year we need a few bright notes to lighten the gloomy symphony of war. We mean this yearbook to be a record of our school during these war days but also to be a collection of pleasant mem- ories, the value of which will increase as the years go by.

IDANIII, Sl1.4.R ADVISORY BOARD Miss STELLA H1Nc1H Miss HLLLN CHLSRU SENIOR CLASS PLAY Ilgnco 'E 'll N. Richard N usbuum By arrangtfmeut with Samuel French The American pleasure steamer S. S. IMPERIAL is in South American waters. On board is Erich Jagendorf, a German espionage agent in search of Charles Locke, a British spy who has eluded the Germans for months. Jagendorf radios a Nazi submarine and just as he is about to divulge the spy's identity to the U-boat, he is murdered. The submarine com- mander, Herr Von Stumm, boards the vessel not only to find out who killed Jagendorf, but to find Charles Locke. No one on board is named Charles Locke. Von Stumm, certain that Locke is a woman, narrows down the suspects to a group of women. With the U-boat commander on board, danger follows danger. Through numerous plot complica- tions, the characters' secrets unravel, some comic, some tragic. The play moves to a smashing Second Act ending and it is only in the last few moments of the Third Act that the slayer's identity is trickily exposed. This modern play with its timely theme was even more popular than last year's success, Pride and Prejudice. From wisecracking Trudy Blitt to the harassed refugee, Mrs. Shulman, from dictatorial Miss Hildick to wan, weak, seasick Chick johnson, the audience shifted its applause. In fact, each member of the cast came under suspicion and it was not until the very last sentence of the play that the murderer was revealed as none other than Captain Mitchell. One could scarcely forget the scenery painted and braced in the record time of two and one-half hours, or furniture, or the bottles of prune juice. Then, there was the gun! How the extra-loud blank cartridges reverberated through the corridors. Sometimes the gun re- fused to fire on cue, becoming temperamental as all actors are expected to do. What a moment of anxiety as the stage manager burst a paper bag with a feeble pop . lPagc 761 SENIOR CLASS PLAY llgnco 'E ,ll Finally, here was the night of the play. The corsages and sparkling pins presented to the dramatic coaches were admired. Ready every- one? Do you have your gun, Harry? Sieck, put your cap back a little more. It shades your eyes. Ready? Then, Lights! Curtain!,' Two hours, and the drama which had been the focal point of thirty- four young minds for over a month was over at last. It was hard work and it was time consuming but summing it up-it was fun! CAST 01 CHARACTERS ERICH .IAGENDORF IURNLR ...,....,,.. . . . Miss HILDICR ..,. TRUDY BLITT .. CHICK JOHNSON ..

I Page 77 I THE STUDENTS' CONGRESS THE Students' Congress of Mahanoy City High School has progressed rapidly since its organization in 1939. It is composed of the House of Representatives and the Senate. This organization is based on all the principles of the United States Congress. Its constitution is in exactly the same form. Our constitution of the Students' Congress is the fundamental law of our school. This body serves as a practical example of limited self-government. It is proving its worth more and more in M. C. H. S. This past year the Students' Congress has endeavored to take the responsibility of selling Defense Bonds and Stamps throughout the school. Through this all-out war drive, it has raised sufficient funds with which to purchase three Jeeps. Let us hope in the future years the Students' Congress will have as many successful opportunities as it has had in the past. IPagc 781 THE STUDENTS' CONGRESS STUDENTS, CONGRESS is one of the out- standing achievements attained by students of the Mahanoy City High School. Helen Cehelsky, senior, president of the organization, is to be complimented on her splendid work, which is being ably taken over by Evelyn Setevage. In one month's time, the Students' Con- gress accomplished the remarkable feat of selling 52,100 in War bonds. This was enough to purchase three completely armed jeeps. IP This year the Students, Congress was successful in the annual lnfantile Paralysis Drive. Mr. Boyle's personal opinion about the manner and speed in which the collec- tion of the money was handled Was very complimentary. He said that the students collected more money than in previous years. Nice work! We Wish the Students, Congress continued success. age 79 I BOYS' INTRAMURAL BASKETBALL SENIOR LEAGUE CHAMPS YANKS CAPTAIN ...., ..................... R . MILLER CO-CAPTAIN .... ,.,. ........ ,.......

In preparing those beautiful works of music for assembly programs the girls worked hard. They practiced once a week, and Tuesday was the day devoted to this purpose W'e know that the girls will miss this pleasurable hour in the future and that the school will rebut the loss of an excellent chorus. MAHANOY CITY HIGH SCHOOL BAND XVI. .xml proud of the M. C. H. S. bantl. Excellent in its rendition of various marches, overtures and operatic selections, it has been under the able direction of Mr. XVilliam C, Becker for a number of years. This year was the first time since the organization of the Drum and Bugle Corps that it was combined with the band to march in parades and games. Praise must be given to the band. It is always available to send the selectees off to their stations with appropriate patriotic music. Many seniors took part in these activities. XVe feel that under the able baton of our leader, the band has reached a point where it can be favorably compared with other bands of the region. I Page S4 1 SWING BAND HOW 'bout a twirl, my little girl or how 'bout jivin' in this jam session, were the remarks made by students when getting ready to go to a dance where the M. C. H. S. Swing Band was the highlight of the occasion. The Swing Band, only organized a few years ago, has proved very successful. It not only plays for its own school, but also performs at many other public functions. The majority of the students who belong to the band are seniors. They have no student leader because of their great co- operation. We hope that in the future the band will be as good as it has been in the past years. , 'X I Page 851 MAHANOY CITY HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA Tut. orchestia, instructed by Mr. Williain C. Becker, is an important school activity. Its members are willing to give their services whenever and wherever needed, while patriotic strains of music greet us at every assembly program during the year. The orchestra's improvement in both music and membership has been amazing. Our greatest hope is that it will continue to be as entertaining when many of its talented members will leave it upon graduation. METEOROLOGY CLUB THE Meteorology Club was organized by Mr. George Engle, before he left for the armed forces. Mr. Engle gave several lectures before he was called away. Miss Zelma K. Snyder and Miss Nancy Kenney have a b l y substituted in his place. The purpose of this group is to study Weather condi- tions, Wind velocity, temper- ature, cloud formations and humidity. I Page 86 1 COMMUNICATIONS CLUB THis is just a new organization in our school this year. It is part of the Victory Corps introduced to all our students. The members meet every Friday in room S-1. The faculty directors are Miss Mattie King and Miss Lois Quin. The purpose of the club is to train the members in the use of Morse Code and the methods of reading messages. This also includes the semaphore and radio. ART CLUB THE Art Club is composed of members who excel in all forms of art. Pastels, weaving, handicrafts, soap carvings and charcoal are some of the various activities of the club. Miss Kathryn Spencer, art instructress, supervises the group.

The students of Bookkeeping will learn to keep a record of articles like army supplies. The Stcnography students are given the privilege of taking down code messages and decoding them. The activities of this club will prove to be educational and useful in the future. JUNIOR RED CROSS hflLMl!LRS of the junior Red Cross are those who render their services to those who are victims of disaster as floods, Hres, wars and other catastrophes. The junior Red Cross functions both in school and in the public. Classes or groups are gathered on certain evenings to perform their tasks. The activities of the Junior Red Cross members are knitting, sewing, making book- lets, or scrap books, and during a war conflict like this present one, they are selling Defense Bonds and Stamps. They also participate in all national salvage drives. Miss Lois Quin supervises the members of the Red Cross Club. I Page 87 1 CORRESPONDENCE CLUB MOST members of this club have at least one foreign correspondent in the Armed Forces of our country, although some of the people have five or more with Whom they carry on correspondence. The membership is limited to only thirty, but this organization passed that limited mark. The present membership Was attained through the work of other members as well as teachers. The purpose of the club is to broaden our horizon by making the members cognizant of war conditions all over the country. During the past year the club members have discussed life in Java, the Philippines, Japan and the surrounding countries of the Mediterranean coast. The entire supervision is under the leadership of Miss Mary Smith. HIKING CLUB A VERY popular sport is hiking, and this shows the reason for the mass membership of the Hiking Club.

The staff does not need to be told all the difficulties we encountered as the yearbook slowly evolved from a chaotic mass of scribbled scraps of paper. Remember the three photographers and the difficulties they encoun- tered in securing materials? Remember our frantic efforts to keep up to schedule when priorities and slowness of transportation disrupted our plans? But, despite these difficulties, you, class, gave us your utmost coopera- tion. We appreciate your aid as you assisted us in our endeavor to make this yearbook a success. To Rose Durkin, my Assistant Editor, who faithfully seconded each proposal and who was ready and willing to carry out each assignment which was given her, my heartiest thanks for her assistance. To Miss Snyder, the Yearbook advisor, whose advice and kindness contributed a great deal to the success of this annual. To my Associate Editors, who should receive credit for a number of the excellent articles written on the pages of this book. To Daniel Sieck, my Sports Editor, and his staff, whose excellent coverage of the games holds the interest of every reader. To Jean Coulson, my Art Editor, who portrayed the theme of the book by drawing appropriate silhouettes. To the Typists, and Miss Fisher, whose typing helped in speeding up the printing of this book. To Mr. Amour, our Principal, and Mr. Eltringham, our Business Manager, whose interest and efforts caused our work to move steadily forward. To the Business Staff, whose energy in securing advertisements aided the financial situation. To the Printers, who published this book with speed and neatness. To all these, my deepest appreciation, and my wish that they may be satisfied with the results of their labors. Your editor, HARRY LITSCH il-Z. A I Page 89 -I FREEDOM OF PRESS YOU would not have this yearbook if it weren't for Freedom of Press, The first printing press was invented by Gutenberg, and the Hrst book to be printed was the Bible. Gutenberg's press could print but one paper at a time while our presses print hundreds of copies in a short time, In the earlier days of the press, only certain news was allowed to be printedg today you can have printed articles criticizing even government officials. We have correspondents and news reporters all over the world sending news to be printed. Newspapers are printed by the millions. To print articles concerning world affairs, and to print articles concerning local affairs, without a crushing censorship, is Freedom of Press, Our forefathers fought to preserve Freedom of Press so that we may write what we wish, and read what we write. Freedom of the Press! This is worth fighting for. s 'N- f4.v rio:-nz 191411 10- --e--e---A-----7-7---,--,-- --' ,-- ---------------'-1 101 znunnz 1o1n1n1n1au-e 1 :ixnxnzexnapnxc z szezn:.:za1aa.1:-12.1.1 xonoioxoxoxoxoinx CONGRATULATIONS Everyone I I1 Our Organization Wishes The Class of 1943 of the Mahanoy City High School A Very Happy Comznencement Season and a Happy and Successful Life D O U T R I C H i S Always Reliable POTTSVILLE sef' S e. we . gg 3 VQJ T ' 3 l 1., To the Graduates of the Mahanoy City High School f y 7 is 3 W i' Class 1943 The Union National Bank of Mahanoy City Member of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Pefmsylvalzia Dutch Baking Real American Cooking J O luz, H.

At commencement time, we salute the members of the graduating class of Mahanoy City High School and tender them our warmest con- gratulations. It was a full war year, but you, many of you biding your time before entrance into the armed forces of the United States, came through handsomely. You are now graduates of a high school of rec- ognized rank. Your first step to a brighter, happier world, a world of freedom, has been made. Truly, This Is XWorth Fighting For! The Record-American joins the relatives and friends of the graduates in extending congratulations. With them, we say, a good job, well done. MAROON AND BLACK, your living record of your High School days, was printed in the Book and Job Printing department of The Record-American. We feel, too, that this was a good job, well done. THE NUGGET, student publication of Mahanoy City High School, which won first place honors for the third consecutive year in its com- petitive group in the Scholastic Press Association, likewise rolls from the presses of The Record-American. We thank and express our appreciation to the Faculty Advisors, the student editors and the staffs of MAROON AND BLACK and THE NUGGET for their cooperation with us and their faith in our product. u N lou '?1:nn1717 THE RECORD - AMERICAN KA Union Label Print Sbopj oxox 1 ann-n 1 qnoxoapnxn-mu.-11q1n1oqwqun1 10:01:01 1 upozoxoxoxaxoxax xoxox J. 4 ll ll ll !l! !! li ll u il l ll! ll ll ll u li II ii ii ll II Il Il ll l H U Q 1!
