The Class of '27 has had the honor of being guided by Mr. Rouda- bush through their entire school life of 12 years. He has always been at hand to help, when help was most needed and has carried us past the dangers of our school career with flying colors. His thorough capability has always been an asset, not only to the school system, but to our Class of '27. CSD EUSINIA, MINERSVILLE, 1927 BOARD OF EDUCATION We, the members of the Class of 1927, take this method of expressing our sincere appreciation for ef- forts expended in our behalf. The sacrifices that you, as members of the Board, have made, have been great. Time and thought has been given to the important business of conducting the schools and we feel that no Board could have done more. It is our parting' wish that you will, as a Board, stand for progress and improvement at all times, and that the school will continue to prosper under your guiding hand. C91 ELEUSINIA, MINERSVILLFI, 1927 CLAUDE L. PRICE Vice-President For him, zz lover of the 'God of Music' and loved by him, is yielded Music's Richest Stores. He is a man of utmost prudence and honest foresight. BOARD OF EDUCATION GEORGE H. BEATTY President His words are few, but none wasted, and through this he has gained the ad- miration and respect of everyone who knows him. We, the Class of 1927, sa- lute him, the oldest member of our School Board.

ESTHER A. GEIER On February 1st, the emcient clerk, Miss Geier, severed her relations with Minersville Schools, after five and one- half years of service as clerk. She had endeared herself to all who had any dealings with the office of the Super- intendent. Her smiling presence and courteous consideration have been great- ly missed. We wish her success in every- thing that she undertakes. I HELEN R. KLINGER MILDRED M. KANDRATAVICH These ladies whose pictures appear above, have been employed as clerks and secretaries to the Superintendent. They are members of the Class of 1927, and after graduation will give their entire time to office work. Judging from their school records we know that they will be successful and that the business of the schools entrusted to their keep- ing will be conducted in splendid style. l C122 EUSINIA,.

S. one of the most illustrious classes in the history of our school,-the Class of 1927. Most of the things that happen to any Freshmen happened to us dur- ing our first year. Our president, who was Harry Maurer, proved a very able person and guided us safely through all the difficulties and obstacles that strewed our path. From the Hrst year many of our boys took part in athletics and helped our school team win its victories. Several members also took part in the operetta presented in our Freshmen year. Our Sophomore year passed all too quicklyg we had now settled down to the daily routine. This year the members of the class again parti- cipated in athletics, dramatfcs, oratory and debate work and made a splendid showing. Again we came back, this time the Jolly Juniors with half our high school course completed. Our Junior-Senior reception was rated the best ever given. And so our third year ended. And now-Seniors-Staid VU Sedate C23 Seniors! Our last lap half over. The Student Council was again put in smooth running order under the leader of our class president, Harry Maurer, and many new and novel ideas have been introduced, putting more power into the hands of the student body. This has been a most successful year for this body. We have been putting our best efforts forward not only in class af- fairs but in everything that ends to the success and prosperity of our Alma Mater. We now stand at the parting of the ways and it is with many con- Hicting emotions that we bid our Alma Mater farewell, remembering always these four years as members of the Class of 1927. 1233 ELEUSINTA, MTNERSVILLE, 1927 HIGH SCHOOL SONG THE WHITE AND BLUE On a hill 'neath azure mountain skies, Is a fountain-head of silvery stream.

Carry on forever M. H. S.! Carry on with standards always high! Wave the glorious colors true- The VVhite and Blue! Wings of inspiration urge us on, Urging us our goal to gain. Ever onward thru the years We'1l raise our colors and our cheers, For dear old M. H. S. CHORUS: So carry on, M. H.

Although she has been with us just a short time, we have found in her a very industrious little worker. We have never heard her speak of beans , but who can tell where and how she spends Wednesday night. Above everything else, Anna excells along artistic lines. She expects to take up art and we all wish her success. 1273 ELEUSINIA, MINERSVILL V WY A ,W , W, . .....1...4 ALBERT CAMFORT Al Canifort Ath. Asso. Q41 To get thine ends, lay bashfulness aside. This young man could be the heart breaker f th ,- o e class, if he wished. Whenever he passes, the girls turn and say, Isn't he cute? But he has always been too modest to step out and get acquainted with the ways of the wicked world. If he would realize that the girls do not mind the name of the town from which he comes, we feel confident th ' at the regulars would be taklng a back seat. EDWARD BULCHIS Happy am Ig from care I'm free, Why aren't they all contented like me? This young fellow is the t f , ype o a person that makes the life of the editor so hard, for it is practically impossible to say anything about him. We do know, however that Eddie is one of those scholars who is not much worried about his studies. He says, Life is what you make 't77 1 and he knows that he can make it really worth while if he tries.

He is messed with a Wonderful mind, a memory unsurpassed. Frequently he starts to recite such a poem as The Lady of the Lake in Minersville and finishes at the gate of his Branchdale home. ,He can read Latin better than many of his classmates can read Eng- lish. He is a shark in History and a catfish with the girls. THOMAS CONDRON lulionl!! A.h. Ass.

CHORUS: Adieu, adieu, we bid to you, Since our happy days are gone This day seems so short and blue, Adieu, my friends ,adieu, adieu. This day seems so short and blue, Adieu, my friends, adieu, adieu.

Boyer '27 Life's great portal widely opens, Now before our raptured eyes, And 'unceasingly it beckons, Down the years in roseat guise. 'Tis with mingled joy and sorrow, That we end our High School Life, In the surging world tomorrow, Let us overcome the strife. May the white and blue forever, Stand for truth and Chastity, When all troubles it shall sever, And disclose eternity. Some may have to take the musket, To defend the truth and right, Others by a favored srmnet, Show the world the pen has might We must answer the clear summons, And our duty try to do, Lay aside all our misfortunes, Work and build the world anew. C572 ELEUSINIA, MINERSVILLE, 1927 SENIOR SONG Oh, wonderful school of my golden dreams, From our memories you'll ne'er depart As we drift away,- We come to say,- This sad farewell from our hearts. CHORUS: We are Seniors today, But tomorrow we sail Far away from our dear M. H. S., Though our hearts ache for you As our ship sails away, Your memories are all that we possess. - But memories are built on the strong rocks of joy. Where no tempest can tear it apart And this sad fare ye well Is the sorrow that comes When this grief anchors there in our hearts. And, in parting we pledge to be good and true To remember our dear M. H. S. Darkest clouds may come- But they'll go--Yes- When all our thoughts are of you.

Murphy '28 September 1924 saw an eager body of students assemble to take the first step towards the completion of a High School education. Although none of us lacked the usual amount of fear and timidity, nevertheless the realization that we were really becoming members of an organiza- tion to which we so earnestly desired to belong, gave us new confidence and a strong determination to continue in our endeavors until we had accomplished our destination. As soon as we were settled in our new realm we held our meeting for the purpose of class organization and as a result, the following of- ficers were elected: President ...... . . Helen Lawrence Vice President .. .... Mary Murphy Secretary ...... . . . Albert Willinsky Treasurer ..............,........... Louis Davis Our officers proved themselves indeed capable of their tasks and through their zealous interest and our co-operation with them, our Freshman year was concluded most successfully. We returned the following year, not as Freshies , but as Sophozuo-' who had discarded their coat of green for an air of superiority not un- common to members of a Sophomore Class. Our second year was a live- ly one and in no field of activity did we fail to have representatives. A large number of our boys were members of the football team and an equally large number of our members were included in the cast for the High School Operetta. One of the outstanding events in our Sophomore year was our vic- tory over the Juniors in receiving second place in the final rhetorical contest of the year. Our oH'icers for our second year were: President .................. .... M ary Murphy Vice President . . . . Albert Willinsky Treasurer .... . . ..... . .,..... Ethel Noel Secretary .................... Raymond Brennan Once more we have returned to our duties and we are now Jolly Juniors. Each year our difficulties become more numerous but as a counteraction, our spirit continually grows and, as a result, we have an organization brimming with both class and school spirit, and also an ever-increasing store of knowledge. As leaders for our Junior year we have selected: President .............. ........... F rank Gentil Vice President ..... . . . John Merkle Secretary ...... ................ A lbert Antonio Treasurer .................. .... B lanche McGurl Each day brings us closer to our final year in Minersville High School and it is hoped that as Seniors ave will continue to hold the high reputa- tion we have earned in previous years and that our ever-guiding motto, Labora et Supera , will lead us to the very summit of success. 1621 NIA, MINERSVILLE, 1927 4635 EUSINIA, MINERSVIL C643 SOPHOMORE CLASS ELEUSINIA, MINERSVILLAE, 1927 Motto-' SOPHOMORE ORGANIZATION President ......

Felsburg '29 4 The class of '29 made its first appearance within the portals of M. H. S. in the month of September, 1925. Our class numbered strong and to all outward appearances we were the same as an ordinary class of green freshmen. Looks are often deceiving and so they were in this instance, for each and every member of the class had a secret am- bition and determination to do their xery best for the upholding of the honor of M. H. S. A short time after our advent into high school, we held our first class meeting. The outcome of the meeting was the selection of the follow- ing officers: President ...... . . . Frances Szal Vice President . . . . . Alex Butcavage Secretary ...... ..... V ada Antonio Treasurer . ........ . . . .... . . . . Joseph Visantainer The class also selected as its motto, Grit Wins. The selection of this motto only tended to make our ambitions and determinations more plain to both our instructors and iellow classmen. Since that time it has been the earnest desire of every member of the class to have this motto ever before them. The next important event in our Freshmen history was the first monthly examinations. Our hopes were very low indeed, for we had been well warned of the difliculties which we were soon to undergo. Finally the terrible day came and when its results became known, we freshies found that we had fared exceedingly well. Besides having a high scholastic standing, the class was never found lacking in spirit for other school activities. We were well represented in athletics and dram- atic undertakings. Our Freshmen year soon came to a close and every member of the class felt as if it had been a year Weil spent. When the class assembled for the first time in our Sophomore year, we found that our number had diminished to 96. This fact did not dis- hearten the remaining members of the class, but filled them with high- er aspirations and renewed vigor. All realized that the coming year would be far more difficult than the previous one and that every one would have to work hard to uphold our high standing. All through the year in all the class undertakings, this has been our chief aim. Due to the co-operation of the faculty and the individual members of the class, we have been able to do our utmost for the betterment of our Alma Mater. Our officers for the year President ............. .... S idney Lintz Vice President .. . . Frank McGurl Secretary .... ..... F rances Szal Treasurer ....................... Jerome Purcell also proved an influencing factor in the directing of the activities of the class. We, the class of 1929, feel that our study has not been in vain and hope to accomplish bigger and better things for dear old M. H. 'S. before we have taken leave of her for the last time.

H. S., began our High School career. We were just as frightened as we could be, for many were the awful tales which we had heard of the miserable life a freshie was made to lead. After the first few days of school, we learned that most of these stories had been just tales which meant nothing and we settled down in our new environment with real pleasure. Before a week had passed, we held our first class meeting at which time, we elected the officers for the coming year. They are as follows: President ..... . . . William Balitas Vice President .... Ann Wynn Secretary ..... .. . Adolph Antonio Treasurer ........................... Alice Jack At the end of the first month we met our first obstacle, the monthly examinations. Our showing on the honor roll, however, proved that this was easily overcome. Another obstacle in our path was rhetoricals, but these also were conquered, and after a while we looked forward to the programs with pleasure rather than dread. Our first year in high school will soon come to a close, and then we can look forward to the time when we shall pass from the state of insig- nificant freshmen to the higher realm of sagacious sophomores. C701 ELEUSINIA, MINERSVILLE, 1927 STUDENT COUNCIL This year brings to a close the fifth year of Student Council history. Student Council is an organization, having for its object, the better- ment of M. H. S., consisting of the Class Officers, sixteen members in all. Year after year this organization is developing and great good has been accomplished by the Council for 1927. Worth-while leadership has been developed and all of the High School activities have received worth-while interest from this organization. It is the hope of all that our Student Council will continue from year to year to render commendable service. OFFICERS and MEMBERS President ........ Vice President . .. Secretary .......

Many attempts have been made in the past to organize and carry on the important work of the alumni. No High School or College can render its best service unless it is backed by those who have received its benefits- Its Loyal Sons and Daughters. We need to take on new life in our alumni association and it is the hope of the class of 1927 that the alumni association will be made to function as it should function, and to render the best aid and help pos- sible to old M. H. S. For her's has been a fruitful past, And her efforts crowned with fame- So keep that torch of honor bright, Defending her glorious name. C723 ELEUSINIA, MINERSVILLE, 1927 THE MINERSVILLE CHAPTER Tof-. THE NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY -of... SECONDARY SCHOOLS Minersville High School was granted a charter to the National Honor Society of Secondary Schools in 1922. The purpose of this organiza- tion is to creat enthusiasm of scholarship, to stimulate a desire to ren- der service, to promote worthy leadership, and to encourage the devel- opment of character. Fifteen percent of each graduating class may be elected to this so- ciety, which is the greatest honor that may be conferred upon a high school graduate. The organization is controlled by the National Educa- tion Association. MEMBERS Clan of 1922 Frank G.

Roudabuah '27 Our football season of 1926 began with a competent new coach and a wealth of unknown green material. On September 25, the 'team that represented our High School was placed in action against Coaldale's veteran team. When the shot an- nounced the close of the battle the White and Blue had suffered de- featg but to the credit of the coach and squad, it was discovered that a battling and gritty smooth-running machine had been developed. Against discouraging conditions and many defeats the team of the White and Blue battled on through the entire season, never halting for discouragement, but ever putting forth better effort. As a result of doing the best at all times, the season closed on Thanksgiving Day in a blaze of glory. The coach and squad reaped the reward of continuous faithful effort. Elmer Smith .... .

The victory was the first one against Pottsville since 1917, when all athletic relations were broken and which were not resumed until 1924. This alone makes victory very sweet. Speaking of the game the score does not indicate that it was a close game. After the whistle was blown to start the game and after a few plays were carried through by both teams it was easily to be seen which team was the better and which was liighting the harder. Previous to the starting of the game, the two opposing captains were summoned to mid-field by the referee, after an informal introduction of the captains, the referee tossed a coin into the air. Pottsville won the toss and decided to receive. They received the ball on their twenty yard line and after failing three times to advance the ball, they decided to kick. Minersville then received the ball and started on its grand march down the field which only ended when the final chalk mark was reached. They failed to kick the point after goal and thus the score stood 6 to 0 in Minersville's favor when the quarter ended. The second quarter Minersville made another touchdown but failed to kick the extra point which made the score 12 to 0 when the whistle was blown ending the half. During the intermission between halves the teams withdrew to their respective place and were given advice by the coaches. They were told what to do and what not to do in the ensuing half. When they took the field for the next half, Minersville was determined to run up a higher score and Pottsville was determined to win. Both teams failed to ful- fill their determinations. The second half was not quite as exciting as was the first half. Up to this time Pottsville had not completed one forward pass or succeeded in getting a first down. The third quarter was just an exchanging of punts by both sides and neither side threatening to score. The fourth quarter was not quite as slow as the previous quarter. It was in this quarter that Pottsville showed it had some fight in it. It succeeded in getting three first downs and above all, score its only touchdown of the game. Pottsville scored its touchdown in the last three minutes to play, and a forward pass, which was thrown from the twenty yard line straight over center. Minersville may count its season a success by its victory over Potts- ville. History repeats itself, so here'-4 hoping that history repeats itself next Thanksgiving Day, in which I think it will. 1311 ELEUSINIA, MINERSVIL LF 1927 C821 LL FEAM BA SE BA ELEUSINIA, MINERSVILLE, 1927 Saturday, April 23 .

Not only did our boys perform in championship style but they also had the right spirit which is necessary for a championship team. It was the first time since the revival of sports with Pottsville High, that we did not meet that team in Base Ball. This was due to their en trance into the scholastic league. With our exceptance into the scholastic league and with a correct outlook predicted, it is only just, to say that Minersville High School will have another championship team for the season of 1927, under the coaching of Arthur H.

Sometimes it seems a question whether athletics or dramatics carry the interest of the majority of the student body. Both are very valuable in our High School training. This year has been most successful in dramatics. The Thanksgiving Program was well rendered by the Juniors. The Seniors very effective- ly produced the Christmas Program. The Washington's Birthday and Memorial Day Programs given by the Sophomore and Freshman Classes respectively, were also creditable performances. The main feature, however, in our dramatics this year, was the musi- cal comedy, Sailor Maids. This was a huge success, and all who took part are to be complimented, as well as those in charge. Then, too, Student Council has arranged programs for Friday aftcr- noons. Through these, we have received some very valuable instructfon. The Class of '27 has always been well represented in dramatics, and we feel that we have helped uphold the high standard of our Alma Mater. 6850 Q C377 F! iz L75 1' ' 3 l fini!!! 25? 5551357 if? 7' a Z an H V M ,, U 7' , , N .

MINERSVILLFJ, 192 4913 EUSINIA, MINERSVIL C923 ELEUSINTA, MINERSVILLFI C3333 ELEUSINIA, MINERSVILLE, 1927 A HISTORY OF THE COLlSEUM Ennis Connelly '27 Imperial Rome, long the capital of the Roman Empire and the center of Christendom, was one of the most ancient and magnificent cities the world .has ever known. It has stood, since its founding by Romulus, on both sides of the great Father Tiber, about fifteen miles from the sea. It grew from a little castle on the mount of Palatine, until it was large enough to occupy the whole Palatine hill and the six surround- mg ones, Capitolinus, Quirinalis, Caelius, Aventinus, Viminalis and Es- quilinus, and so it has been styled by succeeding generations The City of the Seven Hills. Ancient Rome was magnificently adorned with a vast number of splendid buildings, including palaces and porticoes, temples and public halls, theaters and amphitheaters, monuments, and mausoleums dedicat- ed to the heroes whose praises the Romans sung. - For several hundred years the Emperors of Rome heard a pleasure- mad populace cry panem et circensesf' bread and circuses, and to satisfy their lust for bloody and thrilling spectacles, they built circuses and amphitheaters aplenty. The crumbling ruins of these magnificent structures stand today as monuments to an amazing architectural achievement. The circus was a long U-shaped structure, because the chariot races were run over a course with long, straight sides and dangerously sharp turns at either end. The arena of the amphitheater was much smaller because the colnbats between men and between beasts, and sometimes between men and beasts, required no definite area for the field of com- bat. The most magnificient of the amphitheaters was the Coliseum, begun by the Emperor Vespasian and completed by his son, Titus, eighty years after the birth of Christ. We can imagine from the ruins which still ex- ist how stupendous a structure it was at its completion. It was a huge oval over six hundred feet in length and with an outer wall over one hundred and sixty feet high. Its seating capacity is said to have been over eighty thousand. The four stories of the outer wall were wond- rously adorned in Doric, Ionic and Corinthian architecture. The arena within which the bloody spectacles took place was about two hundred and seventy five feet in length and a hundred feet less in breadth. The Coliseum was centrally located in the city, being close to the forum and the great lounging place of the Romans, the baths of Titus. When the Emperor Titus opened the Coliseum begun by his father, Vespasian, the games lasted one hundred days. Five thousand with beasts clawed, bit, and gored each other to death in the arena and be- fore the games were over the carcasses of more than nine thousand beasts were dragged off the bloody field. Imagine the excitement in the same huge amphitheater when Caesar loosed forty elephants and four hundred lions to tear each other to pieces and when Pompey offered the sport-crazed populace a death struggle between eighteen elephants and six hundred lions. Trajan, not to be outdone by these rulers of the City of Seven Hills, celebrated the end of a successful war with a festival lasting four months. When this orgy was over, eleven thousand wild beasts of 4945 ELEUSINIA, MINERSVILLE, 1927 many kinds had killed each other or been killed by armed men who en- tered the arena to do spectacular battle with them. Once a great ship was built in the Coliseum, and, when it was sudden- ly and purposely wrecked. a multitude of wild beasts poured out of the ruin to rush about in mad confusion. On another occasion, the very ground of the arena opened and a magic forest rose. Strange animals of many breeds roved through this man-made wood, fountains of perfumed water played among the trees and sent their fragrance up to :he wildly cheering thousands gathered for the spectacle. Again Caesar caused one hundred and twenty pairs of gladiators to amuse the Romans with a bloody spectacle that sent more than half the contestants to a horrible death. Claudius brought mad delight to his subjects by ordering some nine thousand trained gladiators to butcher each other in a gory series of inhuman duels. Christianity in its infancy suffered most severe trials in this arena of blood and death. Therein, the early followers of Jesus Christ laid down their lives because they refused to renounce the doctrines of their leader. Their compensation was great, for they won for themselves the crowns of martyrs which shine more radiant than any crown which ev- er graced the brow of an earthly sovereign. The innocent Christian was chained in the arena of the Coliseum, and the agonies he suffered were well nigh unendurable. Wild beasts were loosed to tear him limb from limb, and the assembled populace yelled their delight at this awful scene of blood and carnage. They taunted the innocent martyr, asking him to call to his aid the God whom he worshipped, to see if He could rescue him from his awful agony. It is almost inconceivable that such scenes could have been enacted in so highly intellectual a city as Rome. The decline of the glory of Rome caused a cessation-of the exhibi- tions for which this structure was erected. The many wars in which Rome engaged tended to cool the passion of her citizens for these bloody spectacles. Rome was once invaded by a foreign foe, who, fearful that the Romans might use the Coliseum as a fortress, demol- ished it to a considerable extent. The Romans themselves added to its demolition by building beautiful mansions for themselves, out of the stone from which it was built. The passing of the centuries has wrought a remarkable change in the atmosphere of the Coliseum. Where blood and carnage once held sway, there now pervades a wondrous scene of quietness and beauty. The succeeding ages of Rome became Christianized, and at length the struc- ture was consecrated to the memory ol' the martyrs. The arena now contains fourteen chapels which signify the Via Dolorosa, sorrow- ful progress, of Christ, from His sentence to death by Pilate until He was laid in His sepulchre after His ignominious death on Calvary's heighths. 1951 ELEUSINIA, MINERSVILLE, 1927 A HISTORY OF MINERSVILLEU She wrought her people lasting good -Shakespeare Helen Klinger '27 Founding The History of Minersville, Queen of the Anthracite Region, has been told many times, but it is of such nature that it can never lose its value by repetition. Minersville's history dates back almost one hundred and fifty years 11503, and it is said to be about the oldest of the coal min- ing towns in Schuylkill County. It was founded in 1830 by Titus Ben- net and laid out on two tracts of land. One of these tracts of land was patented by Bennet on December 7, 1830 and the other was patented to Lawrence Lewis and Robert M. Lewis on the 20th day of July, 1829. The First Settler. The first settler was Thomas Reed. He erected a saw mill in 1793 at the mouth of the Wolf Creek, where it joins the west branch of the Schuylkill River. He soon erected a log cabin nearby as a residence for his family. He next erected a tavern and distillery, for converting grain into spirits, on the south side of Sunbury Street, where St. Vincent de Paul's Church now stands. It was known as the Half-Way House being situated half the distance between Reading and Sunbury. There was great necessity for this travern on account of the travellers, who needed shelter while passing this way. It was not a saloon, and provided accommodations for both man and beast. The first child born in Minersville was Susanna, daughter of Thomas Reed, December 18, 1793. The first resident married was Jacob Reed to Rebecca Bittle, January 13, 1813. I f The first death was that of Thomas Reed. He was buried in the cem- etery at the rear of his hotel. This cemetery was donated by him. A body had previously been buried there--that of the man who carried the mail, on foot, between Reading and Sunbury. He was found murd- ered about a mile and a half above Minersville, now known as Prim- rose. His body was faithfully guarded by his large dog. His murder was never revealedg robbery was thought to be the motive. Town Laid Out In 1830, a town was laid out and incorporated in 1831 by Governor George Wolf. About 1828-29 there were six houses in the district and by the end of 1830 there were 49 houses and an estimated population of five hundred. Minersvillefthough incorporated as a borough April 1st, 1831, was at this time included in the school district consisting of Cass and Branch Townships. March Tth, 1843, Minersville became 'a separate school district and in September, 1844, 119 pupils were admit- ted into the school. Sunbury Street What is now known as Sunbury Street, was once known as the Sun- bury Turnpike. Sunbury Street received it's name from the Indians, due to it being a straight road to Sunbury. Inhabitants The inhabitants are of a mixed nature. Representatives of almost every nationality can be found here. Minersville is a true melting pot. 4967 ELEUSINIA, MINERSVILLE, 1927 Lumbering Minersville was densely covered with forests. Before the mining of coal, lumbering was the chief occupation. The valleys and slopes on which the town stands were thickly covered with giant trees, two, three and four feet in diameter. An early settler, a Mr. Le Van once said that he saw deer shot in that part of the town, which is now known as North Delaware Avenue. Several saw mills were erected which prepared the lumber and it was fioatd in the form of rafts down the river to Schuylkill Haven from where it was shipped to Readlng and various other places. Peter Dilman was the first sawyer. Coal By the time the forests were partially cleared away, coal was discov- ered. The peop1e's attention was now turned from lumbering to coal mining and Welsh and Irish miners commenced to settle here. In 1818, Jacob Reed opened coal lands and the first machine for breaking coal was erected by Mr. Bast on Wolf Creek. The coal mines are not built near the town. This is an advantage, as all the impurities that may be found in the air from smoke and dirt are kept from the town. From the early history of Minersville until the present day, this industry has played an important part. About one-half the population of this town is engaged in coal-mining. As with the naming of Sunbury Street, also the town received its name. It was given this name because of the very valuable mines and the chief occupation-miningg although at first it was not known as Minersville, but as Miners Village. Factories, Etc. In the year 1844 there were six taverns, nine stores, five churches, Welsh Calvinist, Welsh Baptist, Welsh New School of Presbyterian, Methodist, German Reformed, and Lutheran, also, a flour mill, steam saw mill, foundry, can manufactury, a number of warehouses, and a soap factory. A huge furnace for smelting iron was situated on the hill across from the Reading Station. Stones from the foundation can still be found on this hill. This is known as the Furnace Hill. The Lime Kiln was situated about two hundred feet above Penn Street, at the fork in the road. Here lime stone was prepared for fer- tilizing' prposes, plastering, whitewash, etc. The Minersville Iron Works was founded in 1838 by William de Hav- en. It was the first blacksmith and car shop in the town. As business increased, the shops were enlarged and soon a foundry, machine shop and boiler works were added. The business at first, was limited to machinery for collieriesg but later expanded. The first merchandise store was owned by Mr. Wadlinger. The store occupied the corner of Third and Sunbury Streets. It was acvery pros- perous business, being the only store of its kind in Minersville at that time. Ringgold Rifleman Target practice was held on what is now known as Kear's Hill by the Ringgold Riflemen, organized for military purposes. C977' ELEUSINIA, MINERSVTLLE, 1927 Water The Climate of Minersville is pleasant and healthful, bordered on all sides by mountains. The soil is of a good character, firm and dry. Minersville is irrigated by mountain streams. The chief means of water supply is four large dams, some distance from Minersville. They are in the best of condition, constant care being shown to keep them clean and free from all debris. The Water System was chartered and a com- pany formed in 1855. The citizens are proud of their water system. Water was introduced in the borough in 1861, brought from Big Run on Broad Mountain in pipes which pass through Mine Hill Gap. The first president of the water company was William Sterner. Bank The town's first bank was incorporated in 1863 with a capital of 850,000. The first directors were: Richard Kear, J Wadlinger John Mohan, John Witzeman, Jacob Wist, J. S. Lawrence. Cashier, ,Samuel Kauffman. Fire January 2, 1911, a iire broke out in a Minersville home at two o'clock in the morning. After two buildings had been burned, several people in a half-crazed condition, notified the firemen that there were children in the house when the fire broke out. To the horror of everyone, five children had been found almost in ashes. Had the firemen been told sooner, their little lives might have been saved. The parents were found guilty of negligence before the co1'oner's jury. Town Council The Council controls the affairs uf' the town. The first members of council were as follows: President ............... ........... D aniel Bennet Treasurer .... ...... J ohn Bruner Town Clerk ..... . . . . . .

Joseph Dobbins Mollie Maguire: In 1873, an organization known as the Mollie Maguires, Ribbon Men, or the White Boys, as they were variously termed, had created so much Havoc throughout the county that Mr. Franklin B. Gowen, President of the Philadelphia and Reading Railway and Coal Company, called upon the Allan Pinkerton Detective Agency to bring evidences .before the court for the innumerable murders committed by this organization. Convenient alibis were always produced which permitted the criminals to escape justice. . I . ' The Mollies were strong in Minersville and the adjoining towns. Heckscherville, a small town about three and one-half miles from Min- ersville, being a main rendezvous. C937 ELEUSINIA, MINERSVILLE, 1927 The method of the Mollies seemed to be the doing away of every mine boss in the coal region that did not favor the members of their organization in preference to men in other walks of life. This organi- zation was transplanted here from Ireland. Their scheming was clever, it is thought the crimes were committed by some stranger brought to the community for that purpose and then sent away. This would cause all trace of the crime to be covered. Any person, being accused, would have sufficient alibis given in his favor for his release. James McParlan, of New York, detective for the Pinkerton Agency, came disguised as a tramp and worked his way into the hearts of the Irishmen. For three years he secured evidence of every murder and prevented some murders. When accused of being a detective, he decid- ed it was time for him to go on the stand. Several ringleaders were hung as a result of his evidences. The Mollie Maguires were thrown into disorder and became so frightened they disbanded. Detective Mc Parlan was known as James McKenna while getting evidence against this band. L Matthew fMotzJ Goeltz, a German, was the only butcher to serve the Mollies, every other merchant thinking too much of his life to deal with them. Motz's shop was situated where the Klitsch Drug Store now stands. He was a brave man with a fiery temper, his favorite ex- pression to persons complaining to him about his goods was: When you buy meat you buy bones, and when you buy land you buy stones. He had no fear of the Mollies, and they had to be content so that he would continue to serve them. Secret and Benevolent Societies I. O. O. F.--Social lodge instituted 1837.

The society was beneficial in character and has a literary feature. Its object was to retain the Welsh language and its business was done in the Welsh tongue. Eist- eddfod's were held which added to the treasury. Conclusion This is not the end of a town yet in its childhood, but a bit of its history. By the time Minersville has reached her prime she shall have a record that will fill volumes. Inhabitants will be proud to tell the world they come from Minersville. I will exalt theeg I will praise theeg For thou has done most wonderful things. 1991 ELEUSINIA. MIHNERSVILLE, 1927 A HISTORY OF MINERSVILLEH Schools Mildred Kanclratavich '27 Minersville was incorporated into a borough in 1831, but we are told it remained, for school purposes, for some years after that, a part of Cass Township and of Branch Township. At this time there were prob- ably prlvate schools but all the information is so hazy that it would not pay to record lt as historyy. The lirst public school was opened in 1837 and was taught by Chester Stratton. This school was held in a frame building that stood on South street near the corner of Third street. In 1839, a stone building of four rooms was erected on Twin street, and the other building was sold to the Baptist Church in 1842. From this time on the school population increased, for schools were opened in the basements of the Welsh Baptist and Welsh Congregational Churches. The average attendance at that Lime was frequently 100, with an en- rollment of one hundred and fifty to two hundred. In 1856 a school was built on South Third street, consisting of three stories which had six large rooms. This school was built on a piece of ground so small that the part usually given for a sidewalk was used as part of the school yard. Due to the additional room in the Third street building an ungraded school was opened for the boys from the breakers, known as slatepickers, due to the fact that the breakers were idle during the winter months, a great deal of the time. This school was in exist- ence from 1857 to 1881 when the night school took its place. Into the ungraded school only boys were admitted, and when the night school was opened, girls were again excluded, because the night school was looked upon as a contination of the breaker school. There was really no necessity for the admission of girls to the night school, for in those days there was no employment for girlsg therefore, they could go to day school. In 1868 another three story brick school building of six rooms were erected on Second street Immediately on its completion, four of the six rooms were occupied and by 1880 all the rooms were filled, and in the meantime, the old stone building was abandoned as being unfit for occupancy. The next building was erected in 1894 and is known as the High School building. This building contained two school rooms on the first fioor besides an ofiice for the principal of schools. This room was also used for the monthly meetings of the directors. The second fioor was devoted to the use of the High School, there being a large as- sembly room, two recitation rooms and one book room. The high school room was originally intended for sixty pupils. In order to in- crease the general school facilities of the town, one of the large rooms of the Third Street building was partitioned off into two rooms. The High School now consists of twelve rooms: the auditorium, with a three hundred and fifty seating capacity, seven rooms which are de- voted to high school work, the superintendent's office, the princxpal's oflice, and a room which is now used for continuation school. The earliest record to be found of the enrollment of pupils dates back to 1843 and 1844. During this year there were 119 pupils enroll- ed. The length of the school term is not known. The schools then covered a period of from ten to eleven months. In 1844 the enrollment reached two hundred and seventy-seven. The number of pupils increas- ed steadily until the school year 1864-1865 showed an enrollment of 1141. We now have an enrollment of 1900 in regular school, and 95 in the continuation school. C1001 ELEUSINIA, MINERSVILLE, 1927 In regard to the teachers this fact is brought to light, that no teacher was ever discharged or failed of re-election after he had once become a member of the corp, unless he was totally disqualified for the work. Among the earliest teachers we find: Chester Stratton and his sister, Eunice, Benjamin Christ fknown is Colonel Christ of the 50th Pennsyl- vania Regiment of Volunteersb, Miss Elizabeth A. Christ fthen known as Aunt Lizziej, Misses E. W. Tomlins, Mary Stratton, Rachal Morris, Messrs. Arthur Connelly, Herman Hall, Jonathan J. Dickerson, Eber Dickerson, Amos Y. Thomas, -Butler, Levi King, a noted sailor, who had been around the world. He became somewhat inattentive to his studies and finally he could no longer hold his position in the day schools but presided over the ungraded school until he became totally disqualified. Up to 1853 the schools were ungraded and, therefore, there was no supervising principal. In this year, Mr. Jonathan K. Krewson, from Bucks County, became principal and graded the schools. In 1854 on the passage of the law creating the oflice of County Superintendent, Mr. Krewson was elected to that office receiving a yearly salary of 81000. Mr. Krewson was succeeded by J. W. Danenhower, M. D., from Montgomery County. He died in June. 1882, and was succeeded by H. H. Spayd, who had been teacher of grammar for twelve years previous. The number of teachers at this time was nine, and at the present time it is fifty-one. The names of the presidents of the board of directors from 1850 to 1904 are as follows: Anthony S. McKee, Benjamin C. Christ, George Spencer, Louis C. Dougherty, Jacob S. Lawrence, John Sterner, Joseph C. Gartley, Solomon A. Philips. The earliest records accessible show the schools to have been graded as follows: Primary Schools, two years' courseg Secondary Schools, two years' courseg Grammar School No. 1, two years' course, and Grammar School No. 2, two years' course. In 1868, an additional secondary school was opened. In 1877 the name secondary was changed to grammar school thus makin three grammar schools of three different grades. The schools were re-graded in 1884 by the principal making two sub-grammar schools and one grammar. In September, 1885, an additional secondary school was organized. In 1890 another change was made in the grading by the insertion of a school between the sub- grammar and the grammar school, in this way making it nine years to reach the High School, because the pupils were entering High School at too early an age. In September, 1897, the additional grade was dropped again, making it eight years to reach the High School. In 1900 one of the grammar schools was abolished and a third sub-grammar school was opened. In 1840 a Mrs. Rodgers started a private school, which was in exist- ence for a number of years. Besides teaching the common branches, she also taught knitting, sewing and various kinds of fancy work.
