Herein are contained the pictures and Write-ups of our friends and school activities and may reference to them in the years to come give us as much pleasure as we enjoyed during our four years sojourn in this our Alma Mater. May this be a binding link between our school days and I1 happy future.

Ir does not show the spiritual importance of this hall of learning. To some it appears as just a building, but to the many graduates who have gone forth into the world, it is something alive and beautiful. It is youth's servant, for here youth spends the happiest years of his life. To the thoughtful people who have made it possible for secondary education they who strived and sacrified, that youth may go on, their Work reaps bene- I Hts 'in the knowledge that they did something worthwhile. Since the day clay was broken to build this school, it has gone onward and upward. Larger building, additional teachers, more students, broader curriculum these all show that the importance of the high school is realized. But let not this progress end here- let it continue, let us strive to grow and let youth grow in abounding education. This school is known for the scholars it graduates. This is due to the course of study. Prestige has come to McAdoo for the excellent work done by McAdoo High graduates. Music and athletics, in addition to the countless other activities sponsored, are on an equal with schools of a much larger enrollment.

GRADE SCI-IGOL TEACHERS Our four happy and successful years in McAdoo High School would never have been possible without the untiring efforts of our grade school teachers. We have tried to show our appreciation for their great help in our younger years. We know that our graduation is in their minds one of the greatest stepping stones in our lives, and inside they feel a happy glow because they have aided us in achieving this high honor. Many years after our graduation we will recall the day when we first walked so timidly into a classroom. However, with their kind friendship and careful guidance we became accustomed to our new surroundings. XVhen we have all entered out into the world and become reat successes we will S s feel a dee sense of ratitude to our elementar ' edu 10 ical staff.

The assembly audience received this tid-bit of entertainment with roars of laughter. The spice of life is what Sammy desires most. JOHN ANCHARSKI Penetrating into John's meditative nature is an :accomplishment in itself hut once within these solitary confines one Hnds a pleasant and conficling personality. Such a handsome gentle- man as John has no reason for seclu- sion, especially from the fairer sex. Are We right? NYWF QVGVXIQ X939 PETER BALL Upon first glance at Peter you will note something very apparent. Yes, its his excessive Avoirdupois which makes him a subject for a great deal of ribbing . Genial Peter however merely gets in on the laughter instead of becoming the least bit perturbed. Boys of such attitudes make Wonder- ful friends. MARVIN BARON Unexcelled neatness characterizes Marvin's every line of scholastic en- deavor. His unusual ability to roller skate with skill and grace is also worthy of recognition. Mathematics and the sciences receive Marvinis spe- cial attcntion and interest. RFVQNQ X939 ROBERT BUNSA To have acquaintance with Robert is to know the root of his great popu- larity, and when it comes to talking he has no equal. This is probably the reason for Robert's success with the girls. His extensive knowledge of shorthand and typing made him an invaluable aid on the Reverie Staff. WILLIAM BUTLER Some of the faculty Qnamely, Mr. Yarshinski and Mr. Boylej will prob- ably breath a sigh of relief upon Bill's graduation for he has caused the afore- mentioned pedagogues no end of ex- citement ancl torment. On the more serious side however Bill presents him- self as a brilliant scholar and critic and intends the medical profession as a life work. NVWF JOHN BILLIG No school is complete without its handsome athletic hero and so John occupies this envious position at McAdoo High. Witli a prominent smile and convincing manner of friendship, John is a magnetic at- traction for all who know him. STANLEY BRUDISH It is clear to be seen if Rocky becomes bored during any class he curls up and from all appearances is fast asleep. From what we hear Stan is an ardent motorcycle enthusiast. To him goes the distinction of being one of the tallest boys in the school. STEPHEN DICOVITSKY Already a promising pugilist in amateur ranks we are optimistic of Steve's future in this manly art. His understanding, reserved manner and intelligent, enlightening conversations have brought about him a host of sincere friends eager to hear of his ex- ploits. He has carried his strict ad- herence to rules directly to the class- room. CHARLES DOUGHERTY Charles will go down in the annals of the school as one of the most bril- liant and versatile basketball players ever coached by Sammy Boyle. Along with taking top scoring honors in the Anthracite League and on the team, Chinky', added to his laurels a well deserved position on the all regional first team. Ever modest, he is our idea of a typical athlete. NYWF XQVQFIQ X939 GEORGE ELLIS Place a stock of books in George's hand and then let him be. He will pour over them continually until he knows what constitutes each book. XVe can't understand George's going for My Little Book of Poems how- ever. Mr. Yarshinski may well be proud of his Physics and Chemistry assistant. JOSEPH FRITZ Here again we have one of the most popular and handsome gentlemen in the senior class. Surely you have seen the Fritz Floral Truck at some time or another. A confirmed devotee of the swing trumpet, there is ,nothing Joe prefers more than to indulge in an informal jam session as a conclusion to a practice. Rvvoffe f939 LEON IGNAR The final two years of High School have proven particularly interesting for Leon because it offered as part of its curriculum two of his greatest in- centives to study-Chemistry and Physics. Probably the most superior student in these departments, Leon was constantly referred to' for fact, advice and opinion. EDWARD KOLBUSH Edward is outstanding for his scho- lastic achievements. Yes indeed, he is quite the man of the hour when it comes tosocial activities. 'QEddy is an active member of the band and is always ready to carry on a jam ses- sion with his drum. Besides these ac- complishments, he has proved himself capable and efficient as editor-in-chief of the Reverie. NYWF HENRY GRODZICKI Extremely shy and retiring, Henry is rarely heard and seen. This quality in Henry's character makes him diffi- cult to judge as to personality, but up- on closer acquaintance he is found to be very amiable and sensible. Henry's inferiority complex has not been able to conceal his high scholastic merit and all round intelligence. STEPHEN HALUSHKA Tall, lanky and with personal char- acteristics strongly resembling those of a notorious southern type. Stephen has affectionately been tagged as Zeke . Attentive, quiet and very responsive in certain classes, Steve's greatest vice is his inability to remain silent for at least a moment during Physics period. Steve makes a remark and off goes the class on a tangent. JOHN MATUCK john pays very strict attention to details. During senior class meetings every plan had to be discussed quite thoroughly while john viewed it from all angles. Though one seldom hears so, John is a fine student, excelling in mathematics and the sciences. p NEIL MCFADDEN Neil appears to be a quiet and serene type of fellow but within his shell lies a desire for fun and entertainment. Study is his least concern but were they not four long, hard years, Neil? NYWF g9VQf!'Q XQBQ JOHN MEI-IALSHICK John is one of the advanced trumpet players of our band. He is the possessor of a dynamic pair of bellows if his trumpet practicing can be heard for blocks. The difficulty with which Muscles handles subjects for public speaking has drawn many a hearty laugh. EMANUEL O'DONNl1LL A typical son of Erin, Emanuel be- longs to the group of senior boys who prefer to play the role of listencr rather than speaker. Never in the background scholastically, Emanuel here becomes analitical and deliberate. It is here hoped that upon his going out into the world he will cast off all modesty and reservedncss and display his tl'llC talents. r .vi Qvvoffe Q39 ROBERT PATTON Always prepared, examinations of- fer the least worry to Robert. Slow but sure and determination is a good characterization of this curly- thatched individual. Have you ever seen Emanuel O'Donnell minus Robert's company? JOSEPH PAYER As joe intends to venture into journalism upon completion of his schooling we know definitely that he will make a decidely good critic. His chief delight is pointing out john Sekerak's faults in a bass horn selec- tion or the queer styles of won1en's dresses in general to Margie Gula. As a talented trumpet player Joe is a real asset to our band and orchestra. ' NYWF WALTER O'GRODNIK Here we have one of the staunchest supporters of the senior social gather- ings, but scholastically Walt has never been reprimanded for undue ex- crtion. At times becoming very bored with school life in general, he has made his attendance quite unpredictable. We know however that Walt', will be- come quite persistant in all future endeavors. JOHN PALMER John's athletic career at the local institution is very unusual. Though he weighed but one hundred and thirty- five and decided to play football in his senior year only, John nevertheless was first choice for a varsity line position because of his recognized ability to outplay opponents. As a master of figure skating Wassie is capable of shownmanlike performance. I MICHAEL PENSOCK Gifted with a most extensive vocab- ulary, Michael has no difficulty in complete and technical expressions. Never offending, he is our idea of a perfect gentleman. During the senior social functions and athletic activities distribution of refreshments was effi- ciently and politely handled by Mike and his corps of assistants. EDXVARD PEPSNY Of the artistically inclined persons preceding Edward in graduation, we think his talents are by far best dc- velopecl. With a delicate sense of color and professional technique his pictures are extremely well balanced and beau- tiful. In the world of art he will travel far. As a friend, Pepper is most faithful and obliging. NYWF kVGf!'Q 1939 CARMEN PERFETTO Carmen's energetic personality may be taken in at a glance. His entire carefree manner is suggestive of a jovial disposition and ingenuous char- acter. During the senior year Carmen has made it a point to appear at all our social functions without exception with his friends. JOHN RUSSO Sincerely interested in forestry as a vocation, John is preparing for his probable life work by appropriate activity and study. John has provided many a merry moment in class by pulling what is known as the class bonerf' Despite this John is an ac- commodating and sincere friend. Rvveffe X939 MICHAEL SEKERAK Through NLichael's cooperation and ever-present help the success of all senior social activities was assured. According to Mike, the way to start each day of school is to walk several girls to the institution of learning. This we have seen him do many times. MICHAEL SOCHKO Being diminutive Mike will often pass unnoticed. This is however very much on the contrary in regards to scholastic achievement. Possessing a great amount of mental reserve, Michael does not have to tax his brain to answer any problem. NVWF WILLIAM SCHAAR You may someday look into a noted musical publication and find Bill listed on an all-star popular orchestra. Being a talented tenor sax player, all indica- tions point that way. JOHN SEKERAK John's excellent photographic te- productions of classroom incidents will preserve for years to come fond memories of our school life. ln class he is our foremost yes man g always backing up somebody's statement with a nod or remark in the aiiirmative. Sincere both as friend and scholar we know he will succeed in his chosen profession-business. I THOMAS SOPER Though Thomas studies fairly well, getting facts out of him during class recitation is like pulling a tooth. He and John Russo are the classes smallest nimrods. When absent we know defi- nitely that it is not the customary headache or toothache but a plain case of hunting fever. His intended career is aviation. JOSEPH STALGAITIS Upholding the Stalgaitis athletic traditions Stungy proved himself worthy of the name by being a con- sistent performer in both basketball and football. As class president, Joe served capably and efficiently. NYWF QJVQFIQ X939 JOSEPH STEFANISKO Already possessed of keenargumen- tative power and shrewd business knowledge we are quite certain that Oscar will carve a niche for him- self in the business world. A brilliant conversationalist, he is quite adept at enumerating the respective merits and imperfections of this and that. This is probably due to the varied subjects in his hobby of reading. ALPHONSE STEPANIK Do you have difficulty in the selec- tion of your wardrobe? Does your wife decide what you are to wear? If so, consult Al and your sartorial prob- lems are over. Al's curious giggle is conspicuous above any laughter. Qvvorfe Q39 ROBERT WARGO ' Years of diligent practice on the saxophone and clarinet have not been in vain for Robert for he has attained perfection, sweetness of tone and precision. These qualities make him a real asset to both our band and the high school's up and coming swing organization- The Rhythm Makers. Never known to exert himself scho- lastically, Robert's knowledge exten- sively covers the musical world. LOUIS ZUBER Louis has utilized our gym for two purposes: to display his unsurpassed gymnastic ability and his relined and polished mastery of diflicult -:lance steps. His characterization of the villian in a freshman melodrama will long be remembered. Louis is ever on the alert to inject some of his practical humor appropriate to the occasion. NYWF JOHN TAMBASCO Another of the inseparable Tom- basco, Perfetto, Russo trio. Possessed of an original sense of humor that would do justice to a professional comedian, John's unique and original renditions along this line were capable of producing laughter for minutes at a time. His extensive knowledge of sport statistics is also worthy of mention. PETER TOUCH In true Latin style Peter's conver- sations are accompanied by a proper amount of facial contortion and ges- ticulation. His wit is worth everyone's companionship. Peter has rendered all assistance possible on his part to make every senior activity,a success. MARTHA BARNA Martha is a favorite of her class, a hne student, and an all-round sport. Four years at McAdoo High School and a product well finished. Martha is one of our outstanding band mem- bers and is an excellent clarinet play- er. In a nutshell she is an outstanding musician, a good sport, and a friend of all who know her. SOPHIA BOGUS Besides a great deal of home study, Sophia carries on il host of outside activities. An energetic individual, she advocates walking and dancing as sure conditioners. Invariably one will find Sophia at home deeply engrossed in reading but dancing comes irst as a choice. 1 l NVWF QVVQFIQ 1939 l P t CATHERINE BRULEY Catherine is our idea of an excellent gymnast. To spend her time in the gym doing calisthenics and turning somersaults appeals to her much more than turning pages in an algebra or physics book. She is one of the inter- esting members of our class and through her diligent practice will ex- cell as a gymnast. AGNES BUNSA Agnes is one of our jitter-bugs for her intricate dancing surpasses that of many. Those who know her, ind her to be a fun-loving, good-natured friend. Listen for the latest song, a familiar giggle and a friendly voice and you'll soon see Agnes. Rworfe 1939 CATHERINE COLL It is not a hard task to find words to describe Colly. She fits every per- sonality and has all the qualifications necessary for any complimentary words. She needs no introduction for she hasalready given it, while ably fulfilling her position as cheerleader to the utmost of her ability. MARY CAMPANA All good things come in small packages is a very appropriate and fitting introduction to this little Miss. Having her with us on our journey has made it brighter and lighter. XVe hope she impresses the outside world as she has us. NYWF ROSEMARY BURNS Myrt and Marge, Lum and Abner, and Rosemary and Martha. Have you seen one without the other ever? As a scholar Rosemary rates among those at the top. Both popular and intelli- gent, her merits brought to her the assignment of the assistant-editor's pc-st which she efhciently filled. JOSEPHINE CI-IEVINSKY Jo-Jon appears to be of the quiet type, but not to those who reallv know her. With a personality of the highest degree, she has won the friendship of all. She is one of our more reserved students, but in investigating we ind her scholastic accomplishments to be great. VERNA DEMKOVICH Verna is a girl with a versatile per- sonality, adjusting her sentiments to fit the circumstances. Working cross- word puzzles is her specialty and just try to mention a book she hasn't read. She is thorough in all her undertakings and is an ideal student. CATHERINE FOGARTY Oh! wait'll I tell ya, is Cath- erine's famous saying. One neecln't fear trying to make conversation when she is present. She always finds some- thing interesting about which to con- verse. She is one of our outstanding composition writers and is in her glory when writing one. NYWF QVVQFIQ X939 CARMELIA FRIENDY The band marches down the street, the whistle blows Qif you can hear itj, a halt, and behold! Carmelia, our dig- nified drum-major. To play a clarinet is her chief delight. Ask the neighbors if you doubt our word. She never expresses undue anxiety over her studies but always manages to have her lessons well prepared. REGINA GALLAGHER Regina is of the happy-go-lucky type. To her the sun never ceases to shine. She packs her troubles in a bag and looks at the brighter side of life. In spite of her optimistic attitude however, she has her serious moments too. If you happen to catch her in one you will find her interesting in more ways than one. RPVQHQ x95-39 MARGARET GULA I-Iurrying up is a noted expres- sion of Margie, Always in a hurry to get nowhere. She is renowned for her fine alto voice in the church choir and is a zealous reciter of poetry. She is a high ranking student and a fav- orite among her classmates. MARY HYDUSHECK Demure and soft voiced is Mary. To hear her raise her voice or become wrathful would be quite a shock to all. When she undertakes a responsib- ility Ashe carries it out to the best of her ability and is always successful. If ever in doubt about the place of a song on the Hit Parade program ask Mary, she'll know. I NYWF JEAN GEYER Here we have Jean, one of our outstanding musicians. She is quite the lady for briscling about and mak- ing a name for herself. She has often been heard on the radio either render- ing vocal selections or playing her clar- inet. Together with her musical talents she is apt and consistent in her studies. BLANCHE GRETSKO Blanche is a lass who is quite rc- scrved and subdued in her manner. To excite her is really a task. Calm and collected are the adjectives best suited to her. She is an ardent girl scout and is a true friend to all with whom she comes in contact. X , HELEN JENKINS Being an active and attractive cheerleader for three years has made Helen known to us all. Cheerful, agreeable and uncomplaining charac- terizes Honey. An already acquired business course puts her one step for- ward in her future intentions. We wish her success in the nursing pro- fession. HELEN KAKALEC 'iVeni, vidi, vici, is proudly pro- claimed by Helen. With great dili- gence she has worked during her high school career and really deserves those high words of praise. To no other per- son could they better be applied. Along with scholastic achievements she was also an active band member. NYWF QVQVXQ Q39 MARGARET KAKALEC Kako, as she is commonly called by her friends, possesses a wealth of a happy-go-lucky disposition and has a wonderful personality. Her main form of amusement is listening to and telling jokes. Never try to tell one better than Margaret because sl1e'll always be one jump ahead of you. CATHERINE KORDISH Speak when spoken to -a proverb well personified by Catherine. Her quiet manner has won the hearts of all her classmates. She is another one of our excellent basketball players and is fond of sports. To make a long story short, she is a fine student, has an ex- cellent character, and is a true friend. Qworfe 1939 SOPHIA MATUSKIEWICZ Labor Conquers All is put to practice by Sophia. Through her earn- est work, she has distinguished her- self as an honor student. Her assured- ness will carry her far in her future years as it has in the past. RITA MCALOOSE It isn't a common occurrence to have a young lady like this around, but we've had Rita among us for four years. She is forever Wearing her good natured smile and making wise-cracks. She is quite a hair dresser putting this rare gift to use every opportunity she gets. NYWF NORMA LEWIS Norma is a young lady whose hair will never turn gray because of worry. Come day, go day is her unconcerned attitude. She usually studies a little but sees no future in it. Being able to drive an automobile, she is quite a traveler. Stamp collecting is one of her favorite hobbies. CATHERINE MALATESTA Good-natured Catherine--the girl with a swell sense of humor. In ath- letics she is outstanding, especially in playing basketball. In every friend there is always some outstanding trait that forms an unbreakable tie in friendship. In Catherine this character- istic is her willingness to help others and make friends. ANGELINE PALUMTBO Angeline is a typical outdoor girl. Wearing her snow-suit and tumbling in the snow is her favorite pastime. She is constantly on the go, reading, studying, or doing outside work. She has a congenial manner and is a stead- fast and reliable friend. ANNA REALE No matter when or where you meet Anna her cheerful Wit will attract you to her side. Her side happens to be the bright side of life. Her friends cannot say she ever did them Wrong. She stands high in esteem with her classmates and possesses an excellent character. NVWF QVQFIQ X939 FLORENCE RUSSO Wlierever there is merry-making you will always see Florence in the midst of it. She is noted for her cute, little giggle and jovial manner. Smile and the world smiles with you --,tis thus she looks at life. She is one of our best students and has proven herself to be capable and reliable. MARY SHERIDAN Mary is the possessor of a generous nature, which makes her friendship most amiable. The desire to study to- gether with an alert mind has kept this young lady near the top of her class. Mary's subtle wit, her cheerful smile, and lovable character has won 'her a host of friends. gimme X939 BETTY SWENDA Betty is the youngest of her two sisters and also the most inquisitive and sophisticated. Many a period passes quickly because of her interesting questions. She is a member of the high school band and intends to continue in the study of music. HELEN SWENDA Let us introduce to you the second member of the Swenda trio, namely Helen. One of her favorite pastimes is tatting and she certainly can handle a shuttle. Oh! we mustn't forget to tell you that she is also quite a dancer. If ever you are present at a jam ses- sion and looking for Helen, y0u'll find her right in the middle of things, teaching some alligator how to jitterbug. NYWF ANNA SHIELDS Humor is Anna's middle name- always looking for a bit of merriment. Begin to tell her your troubles and when she finishes with you, y0u'll think you were through a circus. In- cidentally, she is one of those girls who seems to be bashful before you know them but when you do it's an entirely different story. CECELIA SIMIENIEWICZ This young lady has won her way into the hearts of all her classmates by her fine character and lady-like conduct. Cecelia need not voice her favor or disfavor over anything be- cause the versatility of her facial ex- pressions shows her approval or dis- approval. As a student she ranks high and has an amiable and pleasant dis- position. MARGARET SWENDA The third member of the Swenda trio is Margaret, Helen's twin sister. Margaret seems to be the most studi- ous of the group and is fond of school. She has many friends who have been attracted by her cheerfulness and magnetic personality. It is rather dif- cult to say goodbye to a friend who excites so much admiration amongst us. We wish her the best of luck. HELEN TOMASHOSKY Look while you can folks, for it won't be long until Helen leaves Mc- Adoo High School. Before you we have Helen Tomashosky, original an- swer to-not the lad's-but the in- structor's prayer. She is a sincere friend, a good sport, and an A-1 student. A NYWF Qeveffe X939 EVELYN UPSHAW One of our noted roller skating enthusiasts is Evelyn. She is quite a performer on skates and passes most of her spare time at a rink. In school she is an active member of the class and is always ready to render her services at all social affairs. ANNA URBAN It is quite a task to find words with which to express the friendship and true respect we feel for Anna. Her quiet, dignified and reserved manner has made her many friends. She is a diligent worker and whenever she makes up her mind to accomplish something she is always sure of success. MARGARET WARGO Margaret, the girl with a cheerful smile and courteous manner. She is one of our talented band members and Margaret's trombone is her pride and joy. Her place in the band is certain- ly going to be hard to fill next year. Her anxious desire to please others makes her inestimable among her friends, and enemies unknown. 2111 emnriam They leave behind tlzrem, freed from griefs ana' years, Far wovrlfloier things tfaarz tears.

For the majority of us it has been a delightful pleasant experience, for others, years of continuous toil and trial. Graduation is at last a reality and our school life fades into a pleasant dream. All events which have taken place during our stay here we see now in a sentimental panoramic view. The aquisition of new friends, the innumerable personal experiences, have all tended to change our's to a mature and sensible attitude toward life. The invaluable influence of the faculty on our personal character- istics cannot be overlooked. We now pass from their learned care to the threshold of uncertain life. t The theoretical education we have acquired through them cannot however make one conscious of the realities of a practical life. Life's important lessons cannot be taught by text-book study and references. They are however the acquisition of our numerous personal experiences. So do let us be careful upon our entry into a doubtful world and face life's problems with an optimistic attitude. Words cannot express the sincere appreciation we feel for all who have guided us to our goal and let us ever feel their mark and presence in all future aspirations. f QVC?!'!.Q X939 NYWF 3 CLASS VVILL W'e, the class of 1939 of McAdoo High School, hereby give and bequeath all our property, real, personal. and other appurtenances of whatsoever kind and quality they may be, herein stated and affirmed.

JUNIOR CLASS MESSAGE We, the Junior class of McAdoo High School, early became inbued with our Alma Mater's tradition and ideals and eagerly strive to maintain and better them., Just what success we have found is to be seen in the record set by the members of the class of '40. In extra curricular activities we have pushed forward and under all circumstances attempted to give the very best that Was in us. We have not only striven for personal glory, but rather. to carry forward and uphold the standard of our school. This spirit We wish to pass down to the under-classmen with the hope that it will be used to insure even a greater and bigger success than those which We have achieved. Loyalty to our school and a strong belief in her traditions is the greatest lesson which we as a class can hand down to the under- classmen. We, as the class of '40 seniors. are ready to assume the seriousness of our senior year and hope to make it one of the most successful, yet enjoyed.

Let us introduce ourselves to you. We are the colossal, stupendous, outstanding Sophomores. Yes indeed, we are no longer the Freshies of McAdoo High School but are completing a most successful second year at that institution. Kidding, teasing, initi- ation. Yes, we Went through it all. Smiling? Well, trying to anyhow. Alas! Now it is our turn to have the fun and pleasure of teasing the lower classmen. At last we are Sophomores. To us our second year of high school has been less difficult and much more interesting than the hrst. Being a capable and reliable class for the past two years, we intend to keep up our good record and make our high school days a great success. We do not mean to study continuously. Certainly not! However, we are going to do the best we can during our remaining years at McAdoo High School. Well represented are we in both athletic and scholastic activities. In our class we have many up and coming football heroesutogether with basketball players and outstanding band members. The many in- teresting debates which we have held, have enabled us to make a name for ourselves. Having extended invitations to the upper-classmen to at- tend a few of them, we frequently had quite an attentive audience. You, who read this may think it is the thought of a mere, unimpor- tant Sophomore, but to us it is much more. We hope to fsomedayj make our Alma Mater proud of us. It is our ambition to be one of the best classes to graduate from McAdoo High School.

Rwerfe X939 NYWF FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY Early in September, McAdoo High School opened its doors to welcome one of the largest freshman representations to ever pass through its portals. The first year students, representing several schools and town- ships, numbered approximately two hundred. This unusually large enrollment necessitated a division into five sections. 9A was put under the supervision of Mr. Ball, 9B under the guardianship of Miss O'Donnell, 9C, 9D, and 9E were respectively taken over by Miss McNelis, Mr. Minor and Mr. Boyle. As we entered this new phase of learning we were affected by the customary timidness and unfamiliarity so prevalent among freshmen. Confronted with a host of odd subjects, commencement of normal routine was rather difficult. As time wore on things became simple enough and extremely interesting. This gave us new confidence and we Htted ourselves into the trend of high school life. After a few weeks we elected our class officers. Into these trusting hands we put the responsibility of guiding us through four years of trial and aspiration so that we will come forth at the end of four years with the dignity and accomplishment of the preceeding senior classes.

Through the band's appearances at athletic contests, parades and concerts, the cadet-clad musicians presented themselves as a wholesome treat both in regards to un- usual music and drills. In regional parades the band has proven itself a consistent prize winner. This year through the efforts of our conductor Mr. Gallagher and his able assistant, Mr. jupina, a new era of musical achievement was ushered in. Through a large upper- class representation in the band, music of a more serious nature such as overtures and opera excerpts were successfully attempted. On its way to greater regional fame the graduating senior members of this fine organization sincerely hope that in years to come the band will attain its highly merited fame.

The original unit was outfitted in maroon and white capes and trench caps and white trousers and skirts. The pres- ent organization has cadet style uniforms and hats. In September, 1930 supervision of the band was undertaken by Mr. Gallagher. 4 Since that time the prestige of the band has grown steadily and it now rates as one of the best groups in the county. In regional parades and contests the band has won numerous prizes and honors. Griginality is one of its best attainments. Several years ago it in- troduced a swing style of band music which swept the region and added to the bands popularity immensely. Of late music in a more serious vein has been successfully attempted. In 1938 Mr. Jupina was added to the music teaching staff of the McAdoo Schools. Through his aid he and Mr. Gallagher were able to carry on a well balanced program of music in the borough schools.

THE. FOOTBALL TEAM Commencing drills and conditioning in the latter part of August, Coach Thomas Boyle began to assemble those who were to represent McAdoo,s gridiron fortunes. Because of a light, inadequate and inexperi- enced aggregation, the team was not conceded much of a chance in regional competition. Week after week however, the Maroon and White clad warriors covered themselves with glory and admiration because of their fighting spirit and determination. Upon the termination of football competition on November 11, the team's record stood at five games won against the four defeats they sustained which is quite remarkable considering the- above mentioned handicaps.

Under their guidance and through their cooperation, the ath- letic teams of the McAdoo High School have been numbered among the best in the region and merit the compliments and praises they have received. SENIOR FOOTBALL TEAM' MEMBERS fQ?VQf!iQ X939 FOOTBALL SCORES HAZLETON 34-McADoo 0 Both the McAdoo and Hazleton football squads inaugurated their seasonal campaign on September 17, at Harman-Geist field in Hazleton. A dismal downpour of rain kept the attendance down to a mere 2500. Unable to ward off the thrusts of an elusive Hazleton backfield coupled with a brilliantly blocking line, a light but determined and promising Maroon and White elevensustained their first defeat. WEST HAZLETON 19--McADoo 6 Played as a night game at the spacious Cranberry Stadium, this game was unsurpassed in beauty of color, setting and action. Benny Rockovich of the Blue and Gold gridders was not to be denied this night and he constituted their sole threat. The first half ended on even terms, 6-6, but the uRock came through with two more tallies in the third and fourth periods. McAdoo's lone score was run over by Moissey in the first half. Joe Glezman's stellar performance at end and that of diminutive Louis Kotchinsky in the backfield were outstanding features of the fray. LANSFORD 7-McADoo 0 ' The McAdoo gridders caught quite unawares in the Hrst few min- utes of the first period, the Lansford team capitalized by leaping off to a seven point lead. Though outplaying their opponents, the McAdoo Maroons were unable to penetrate the Lansford defenses and at the end of four quarters of closely matched play they found themselves again at the wrong end of scorekeepers record. McADoo 36-FREELAND 8 Not conceded a chance against the powerful Whippets, McAdoo entered this game in the role of the underdog. By unleashing a surprising drive which swept the Red and Gold before them, the McAdoo team scored easily in the outstanding regional upset. With Peter Moissey lead- ing the attack for the Maroons a dumfounded Rathey aggregation tried vainly to quell the uprising. Three touchdowns were scored by Peter Moissey and Glezman, Dougherty and Saxon each tallied once. The bor- ough boys were thus enabled to snag their initial victory of the season. k9VGf!'Q X939 A COALDALE 7-MCADOO 6 For its second night game of the season McAdoo traveled to the brilliantly lighted and colorful Coaldale Stadium. Thirteen hundred excited fans saw the Maroon and White team play a wonderful defensive game, but finally lose out to a much heavier team by a one point margin. Both teams scored in the second quarter. A wonderful piece of broken- field running by Peter Moissey along with the blocking and interference of the line resulted in McAdoo's lone tally. Moissey's sixty yard run was to no avail for a touchdown by Daley and an extra point by Sicenavage enabled Coaldale to forge out into the scant lead which meant victory. McADoo 19-SUMMIT HILL 0 A week later McAdoo regained its winning stride by subduing Summit Hill in a game of perfect kicking, running, and blocking. With the score tied at half time Mr. Boyle's intermission pep talk really brought forth results in the form of two more touchdowns by Moissey and Co. The clever passing and kicking of Chinky Dougherty was an impor- tant factor in this win. At this stage of the season the teams record stood at two games won and four on the wrong side of the ledger. McADoo 38-FREELAND M. M. I. 6 Before a fine booster day crowd of approximately two thousand, the charges of Coach Boyle displayed wonderful power and speed in down- ing Tony Dougerty's Freeland Preppers,'. Glezman's run on a beautiful fifty yard pass opened the scoring, followed by the touchdowns of Moissey, Yadlosky and Saxon. Points after touchdown were drop-kicked by John Palmer. McADoo 38-ST. GABRIELS 19 In the scoring festival of the'year Father White's green-clad GU men from Hazleton engaged in a scoring spree with the local gridders. Outplaying their opponents early in the game enabled Sammy Boyle to substitute freely and it was the reserves who saw a greater part of the action in this contest. An unusual feature of the game was its late start which accounted for part of the game being played at dusk. When the McAdoo band rendered the appropriate When The Moon Comes Over The Mountainv for the occasion, the fans howled with mirth. Touch- eveffe X939 Q . downs were scored by Stalgaitas, Moissey and McBride. Points after touchdowns were scored by Palmer. An outstanding feature of the game was the superb passing of St. Gabriels Chapman which kept them in the game. McADoo 20-HAZLE TOWNSHIP 0 Fighting to a 0-0 deadlock at the half, McAdoo came back with three touchdowns in the ensuing periods before a crowd of two thousand in an atmosphere reminiscent of spring at Cranberry stadium. A pass from Dougherty to Glezman accounted for the initial goal followed by six pointers by Moissey and Saxon. as ff?

Previously they had been members of the Moupgtain League. For a close and thrilling type of basketball the Anthracite loop was unsurpassed in the region. Considering the loss of only two regulars from the previous yenr's squad, the pros- pects of the 1938-39 edition of Maroon and Wlmite basketeers assumed a bright hue. True to expectation McAdoo remained among the regional cage leaders for the larger part of the season. After a very hectic stuggle the team was able to cop first half flag honors of the Authracite circuit through playoff of the deciding game with Hazle Township. Dogged by a siege of illness, the teams efforts to repeat their first half successes were all in vain. The local hoopsters fell into a slump from which they could not quite recover. Ending a season marked by a new high in interest and attendance, the final record stood at a quite successful fourteen games won and eight lost for an average of 636. The teams offensive average per game was twenty-nine points while their opponents were able to annex on an average twenty-five points per contest.

It Was through their great display of enthusiasm and energetic cheers that many a game had been brightened. They have been both faithful and true in appearing at almost all our football and basketball games to cheer our team on to victory. During this season, the squad was fortunate in obtaining new sweaters and megaphones, which were a great added attraction and made our side appear much more colorful. The cheerleading squad had enjoyed a most successful season and all members of the squad Wish to thank all the student body for their loyal support. May the squad have as good luck next year as they have had this year, and as the captain yells Signals!

We have struggled with problems, oh, so impossible of accomplishment, yet we have conquered them. We have played and danced away many a short hour, and they have slipped onto the dim past, leaving in their place nothing but memories. Now, like Alexander, we must seek new worlds to conquer, and with the long-awaited day of graduation now at hand, we cannot help but feel that it is all too soon. But life must go on, the new must replace the old, and we must bid adieu to the friends acquired through four years, classmates, teachers, and all. Let it be that it is only au revoir and that, at least, we may renew old times, old friendships, at future dates, even if it be only through the pages of this, our last, our final effort, The 1939 Rcfwrie RJVQFIUQ X939 SPONSORS ALEXANDRAKOS, H.
