Miss Glenwright has been our guardian an- gel through our high school years. Although she is a strict disciplinarian, we all know Miss Glenwright in her lighter moods. The class of 1932 is deeply indebted for her invaluable aid. HAROLD H. SAYLOR Mathematics Annville High School, 1922, Lebanon Valley College, 1926 A. B. Positions: Annville High School C1 semesterlg Minersville High School C6 yearsj. Archimedes had nothing on Mr. Saylor, We wonder if there is anything he cannot do. Mr. Saylor may have been more pleased if he could have poured the knowledge of math- ematics into our ears, but he was ever indul- gent and patient, and so we say, So-long, Mr, Saylor. CAROLYN E.

As Freshmen and Sophomorcs we knew Miss Early as a class advisor and as one who did her best to help us. As Juniors and Seniors we knew her as a teacher, again striving to help us with our education. As a result of her dn- tiring efforts she has endeared herself to us. It is with much regret that we sever these rela- tions. lthirteen ELEUSINIA, MINERSVILLE, PA., 1932 MARIAN E.

She made English a pleasure. Miss Pounder started us many a time by Oh, Hor- rors! This is a favorite expression that we will miss. We must leave, but tender memories linger. FLORENCE R. BERNEY Science Tower City High School, 1923, Penn State, Marywood College, 1927-A. B. Positions: Min- ersville High School C5 yearsj. Allow us to introduce to you our faithful Biology teacher, Miss Berney. Hrr willingness to help those in need has brought to hzr side many admiring followers. When Biology persists in making itself diffi- cult Miss Berney insists upon finding a way to make it easy and interesting. We feel sure Miss Berney will always find a way to manage difiiculties. Success can always be hcrs for the asking. ELIZABETH G. CAMPION En gl ish and Latin St. Joseph's High School, Emmitsburg, Md., 1924, St. Joseph's College, Emmitsburg, Md., 1923-A. B. Positions: Minersville High School C4 yearsj. We are sorry to leave one who has worked with us through our four years. As Seniors we :an better appreciate the benefit which her guidance has brought to us. She directed our plays with a sense of friendliness that makes us feel more like experienced actors than ama- teurs. We wish we could always have her with us. fnurteenl ELEUSINIA, MINERSVILLE, Pjligiiiif HELEN M.

Miss Schweinhart makes typing not only interesting but a pleasure. To make us self-reliant and better fitted for our life work was her aim and she succeeded. LAURETTA E. WEIMER English Minersville High School, 1926, Temple Uni- versity, 1930 A. B. Positions: Minersville High School C2 yearsj. The subject of English usually becomes bore- some with its Shakespearian age, but under a sunny captain like Miss Weimer we found our voyage in English all too short. Why, even psychology is a pleasure under her guidance. Not only in class work do we find her work- ing with the students, but also her splendid work with the girls in the Y. W. C. A. deserves much credit. ' ELEUSINIA INERSVILLE, PA., 1932 WILLIAM J. MURPHY English Minersville High School, 1925, Villa Nova College, 1930-A. B. Positions: Minersville High School C2 yearsj. Mr. Murphy has proven himself a faithful and valuable friend to all. His astounding person- ality has made him an outstanding figure in M. H. S. Mr. Murphy's speech is a rare gift. When he asks you for your financial support of all school activities, you Find yourself doing so with a willingness quite new to yourself. Not only in financial matters has Mr. Murphy been a success, but he is also known to be a real instructor of English. ELEANOR M. JAMES History Mincrsvillc High School, 1926g Dickinson Col- lcgc, 1930-A. B. Positions: Minersville High School C2 ycarsb. Do you remember? Of course, who could for- get our teacher of Junior History. Miss James corrected our frcquent mistakes and always wfth a kind word. Though our Junior days are gone they are not forgotten, and though Miss Jafnrs will no longer teach us, we shall not forget her. RUTH E. PARNELL Social Science Minersville High School, 19265 Lebanon Val- ley College, 1930-A. B. Positions: Houtzdale High School C1 yearjg Minersville High School C1 yearj. Miss Parnell was once a student of M. H. S. and is therefore familiar to most of us. Though we have not had her as an instructor, our con- tact with her through social activities has en- deared her to all. Miss Parnell's smile is ever glowing and we will miss it when we depart. lsr-Venti-cxi 7 ELEUSINIA INERSVILLE, PA., 1932 THOMAS C. CONDRON, JR. Mathematics, Civics and English Minersville High School, 19275 Mount St. Mary's College, Lafayette College, 1931-A. B. Positions: Minersville High School Q1 yearj. Turning our gaze in this direction we find ourselves face to face with a good sport, a true gentleman and a strong character in the person of Mr. Condron. It was with amazing rapidity that Mr. Con- dron became a friend and advisor to the high school students. His keen knowledge of the ways and whims of modern youth, made him quite popular in that direction. It is with regret we leave him. 1-igliteelll G. HOWARD SCHOFSTAL Science and Mathematics Minersville High School, 19243 Keystone State Teachers' College, 1928-B. S.g Penn State Summer School. Positions: Westlawn High School C3 yearsjg Minersille High School C1 yearj. Mr. Schofstal has proven his worth as a teacher in his training of the Freshmen in Science and Algebra. Though he is a new teacher and our acquaint- ance with him is limited we have learned to value him. His winning ways and true school spirit to his old Alma Mater has caused him to be liked by all. He is also our assistant Coach and a very Worthy one. ELSA M. RINKENBERGER Home Economics Johnstown High School, 1925: Indiana Normal School, 1926: Beaver College, 1931-A. B. Posi- tions: Minersville High School Cl yearj. Miss Rinkenberger came to Mincrsville High School for the first time to instruct the Fresh- men lassies in a new and better way of uphold- ing the modern home and family. Your worries are over, boys!

Positions: Minersville High School C1 yearj. Here is another new member of our faculty. Although she has been with us for only one term we feel as though we have known her for ages. She has done much to make easier our reference work in the library, to make more interesting our rhetorical programs and to de- velop the dramatic powers found in our high school. BLANCHE Y. FAHRINGER History Catawissa High School, 19243 Bloomsburg State Teachers' College, 1930-A, B. Positions: Numidia High School C4 yearsjg Minersville High School Q1 yearj. When you meet Miss Fahringer you cannot very well pass by without saying She is a very interesting person. How well we Seniors know this. We have been fortunate enough not only to meet this interesting person, but also to have her as an Economics teacher. Economics became a colorful study with Miss Fahringer at it's head. RUTH P.

Miss Lawrence with her sunny disposition and ever ready smile makes' health classes a pleas- ure instead of a drudge. Not only does she teach us to quarter wheel right but she teaches the girls to play a good clean game of basketball. Good luck to Doc. Lawrence and her health classes. lninetr-en l .ah V ELEUSINIA, MINERSVILLE, PA., 1932 MARY HELEN GLANT Music Shippen School for Girlsg Millersville State Teachers' College, 1925, Cornell University Summer School, 19215 Sherwood School of Music, Chicago, Sacred Heart Academy of Mu- sic Harmony, Positions: Pittsburgh 13 yearslg Lancaster County, Q4 yearshg Pleasantville, N.

Continuing the belief of the ancient Virgilian characters, we of a modern age fancy that the ever prevalent Fate is 'watching over our destiny, weaving the fine covering of our livesg pulling the warp and woof of the loom hither and thither, and finally, adjudging the destiny which is to be ours. And so we find that Fate fortunately, has woven the primary and most essential portion of the fabric of life for a group of seventy young men and women. It has been ordained-we are now graduates. ' It goes, then, as a sort of ritual for each class to extol itself and the class of '32 has its commendations which are worthy of applause. Fate, we might say, was kind to us, weaving with a set purpose the pat- tern of our lives for the better so that there may be heard behind us the words, This was a class! It was a green and intimidated class of knowledge seekers who entered Minersville High School just four short years ago. All around us was strange and unknown, but with souls of adventurers, we solved the problem of the mysterious, Ending ourselves soon engaged in a series of whirling activities. Well represented in scholastic events such as debates, athletics, the insignii- cant Freshmen class soon vanished to give way to a sophisticated and de- bonair one. In all activities-scholastic and athletic, social and beneficial, the Sopho- more class proved it's merit. It's worth and excellence were lauded by all, for not only did it rank superior in service but it also boasted the honor of possessing the greatest quantity of Cum Laude students. The year 1930 saw us about to conquer the third milestone in our ven- ture on the somewhat billowed Sea of Learning and it appeared that with each passing year the class of '32 attempted to surpass the previous one. We were 'represented in opera, athletics, band, dramatics and debate, making it, all in all, a year of commendation. And here, again, the Fate that can at times be hard and relentless and at other times merciful and kind, smiled benevolently and conferred upon us a great honor. It had been decreed that we should graduate from a big- ger and better high school with the numerous advantages afforded the Sen- iors upon the construction of a new building and with John Duffy as Presi- dent the fourth time, they were able to develop powers which heretofore had to remain latent. Dances were held. The gymnasium and auditorium brought forth the athletic ability with the dramatic and oratorical capacities of the Senior Class. School was a joy and our Senior year passed all to quickly with only one incident to blight its happiness-the loss of a beloved classmate. And now, we, as a group of graduates are commencing what is known as the School of Life, so, in departing let us join in thanking Mr. Fate for be- stowing upon us one of the happiest chapters of our lives. twenty-fourl ELEUSINIA, MINERSVILLE, PA., 1932 KATHRYN E. ALLAN Kate, Al. Cheerleader 2, 3, 4. Glee Club 2, 3, 4. Operetta 3, 4. Cheers may come and cheers may go But I cheer on forever. Here we find the Rah! Rah! girl of our class. Beside putting that spirit of pep into us at our football games Kate takes great interest in Commercial work.

A dominant figure behind the cen- ter and back of the home plate, and a gallant UD gentleman. We take pleas- ure in introducing Monk, You'll al- ways find Albert where the big men gather. Bashful? No sir! Except in regard to a certain little girl. We are told that he once suffered amnesia on the gridiron and the referee used his fingers to teach him the numerals again. We sincerely hope you find it easy sailing. Ltwvnty-five ELEUSINIA, MINERSVILLE, PA., 1932 twem y-sixj AN.NA MARY BALITAS Abu A. L. A. H. Operetta 2, 4. Glee Club 1, 2. This is a great old worldif you know how to take it-Anna takes it sugar coated. Anna is a student any school would be proud to have. Her record in the Commercial Department is proof of her ability. The ambition of this young lady is to be a ste-nog. She is an all around sport and gives and takes impartially. ......ig4..l ELLEN ROSE BALNANOSIS El. Operetta 4. Dramatics 3. Glee Club 4. Studies bring forth the fruit of knowledge. Ella is a happy, sociable young lady. Her ever readiness to help when called upon has placed a mark of value upon her. She is very quiet and studiousg but then one has to be when training for her work. She intends being a nurse. ELEUSINIA, MINERSVILLE, PA., 1932 ALICE MAE BAUSCH Al Bauschy Sally Alick Cub Operetta 2.

Even small animals give Alice a scare But that isn't the case of a certain Bair. Alice is a happy-go-lucky, care-free girl. She is prominent in intellectual as well as social activities. A willing worker and one who possesses much of that intangible school spirit. Though we know HAI very well, we are rather sceptical as to why she goes to Potts- ville so often and why she likes Bairs. ..E,, 5k,.,, JAMES J. BENTZ Jim Jimmie Operetta 4. Baseball 3, 4. Thy modesty is a candle to thy wit.', James is a very quiet boy, and shy too, but not in baseball. He has been our pitcher for several years. He is always ready to give a helping hand in school, especially when it comes to a difficult problem in Math. Jimmie has been instrumental in gaining many vic- tories and we know he will gain many more.

Five foot two, eyes of brown But oh! how she can paint the town. This charming little Miss is the champion giggler of our class. When classes begin to lag and grow boresome Squeek lets out a flood of her laugh- ter which turns the class into sun- shine. Lazzy has proved herself a true friend to the class of '32. Yes! she is sometimes serious. At least when it comes to newspapers? ? ? Don't worry, we won't give you away. 1-...?k EDMUND P. BURKE Ed Fuzzie Irish White and Blue Staff 3, 4. Operetta 3.

His far reaching ability to pass a joke has made him a popular member of the High School Family. The world just couldn't go on without Fuzzie's Irish wit. There is only one thing Fuzzie takes seriously-his work. We feel sure that he will be master of his trade. ELEUSINIA, MINERSVILLE, PA., 1932 MARY C.

Looks are oft' deceivingl' The angelic countenance of this daughter of Italy certainly makes one remember his CBible7 lesson with ease. But, have you really met the real Mary? Then you know looks are de- cciving. Mary is a good fun-loving sport. She's game to do the big things that are asked of her. We feel sure that fate has a bright future in store for this in- dustrious young lady. DANTE COLA lKDanY! Klcolah Operetta 4. Track 4. Math. Club 4. Let them call it mischief, When it is passed and prospered 'Twill be virtue. Dan is a smiling dark-eyed youth with little to say in school. He says that all work and no play makes him very dull, sa the L. U. I. has an active member. Cola has a tendency towards being a surgeon in a shoe hospital. We think he will follow the trade and make a success of it. Itwcnty-nine ELEUSINIA, MINERSVILLE, PA., 1932 9 . 5 Iliirtyj Y' ' A-li 1 5 'I' ELVIN Z. W. COMPY Rubber Eleusinia Staff 4.

His ex- tremity of views on the questions of the day always carry humor. We as yet do not know whether Ross will honor an institution of knowledge with his presence. Maybe he will follow in the footstep of his Dad. Who knows? Well, anyhow, if it has to do with an- other Chief Burgess Davis, the class of '32 will surely be at the polls.

Let's+ hope better luck is in store for him. We have no idea what course he will fol- low, but whatever it may be, with his warm personality it will be a success. u FRANK J.

I hits them a vays with my crook, For 'tis sentmer.t does it, says I. One of Andy's habits is to chase away the blues. He does this very well, and it has made him a very jovial companion to us. He made many a gloomy day cheerful by his presence. We know Gerchak goes to Pottsville freqently but he won't tell us why. Well!

The Class of 1932 was visited by the Grim Reaper on February thirteenth, removing from us a charming school mate and friend. She was an inspir- ation to the members of the Class of 1932. In her every effort she strived to be a credit to our school and class, always tackling life's problems with a will and a smile. Her chief ambition seemed to be in helping others. She has ceased to be with us but the in- Huence that she has left will be with us always. igkil WILLIAM HUNTER HELLER Hunter Eleusinia Staff 4. Operetta 3. Dra- matics 3, 4. Football 3, 4.

His mis- taken idea of the west seems to be the Heckscherville Valley. Bucknell has its welcoming address all prepared, and they are all set for the gala occasion when Hunter steps off the rear platform. We do not kwow just what he intends to follow- but if he fulfills his duty as staunchly as he did in football-well-'nough said. ELEUSINIA, MINERSVILLE, PA., 1932 ALICE ALDONA HERBERT Al Les A. L. A.

How many of us could suc- cessfully combine work, that needs all attention., with pleasure? Very few! Alice finds time for everything. She uses her magic in all directions, es- pecially on the Uoppositesf' although she does her best to mystify her fricnds in this particular direction. You can't fool us, Al. We know bcttcr! .

Eleanor is a very helpful classmate. She is always desirous of doing her share of the many obligations that confront high school students. She has shown her worth as a Busiress Manager on the White and Blue and has taken part in so many other ac- tivities that we cannot express too much our appreciation of her. She has been an outstanding factor in making this book a success. I Ilhirty-tive ELEELISINIA, MINERSVILLE, PA., 1932 thirty-sixj G. HARRY JACK Sheriff Class Treasurer 2, 3, 4.

Sheriff is often called a teacher's despair, but this does not prevent his being a good pupil. He is also one of our class officers. You may not think it. but that M on his sweater can stand for a lot of names. We do not know just what it means? ? Harry is uncertain as to his life's work but if he works as he has in school we know he will be a success. ,:Ic, .Y HAROLD ROBERT JENKINS -il-Iappyw Band 2, 3. Football Mgr. 4. Or- chestra 1, 2.

But staircases aren't important ....... Hap has had immeasurable success as a chemical analyst, so we wonder why his interests do not turn to pas- teurization. HC has been football manager for the last season and if he follows a path as straight as his chalk lines, he cannot help but find Eutopia.

Glee Club 2, 3, 4. French Club 4. Girl Reserves 3. Dra- matics 3. I have Frierds to boast of. Liz has personality plus a natural tendency to make friends. One is hardly likely to see Liz alone. Friends are hers for the asking. She is a very studious girl. Every sentence of her assigned lesson is taken apart to learn its meaning. Elizabeth intends to take up special work in surgery. There is a great fu- ture for her in this chosen work.

Red wants to be a stenog and take care of other peoples business. ,L.7k KATHARINE E. KISHEL Kay Kishie Blondie Operetta 3, 4. Glee Club 3. Behold a courageous woman. Kay is the real honest worker of our class. Lucky is the man who em- ploys her as his secretary. Her com- mercial work in school rates her as one of the highest in her class. Aside from work however, Kay enjoys life to the utmost. She misses nothing in the way of fun. She laughs with the world and makes the sad people stand up and take notice. ELEUSINIA, MINERSVILLE, PA., 1932 THOMAS C. KLOCK Tom Klucky Klock Home Room Organization 3. Tommy is the bashful young fellow of the class of '32. He hates to be singled out by his teacher to demon- strate his power in school work. Let me be is quite a frequent phrase on Klocky's lips. Tom can be very well classed as an all-around young fellow.

There are but few who can debate as effectively as Lil. On the outside-Lil's interest trends to the Piano. Perhaps some day she will instruct music classes of her own.

This phrase causes more class wars than can be printed in the history of the world. Besides school work Sylvia's in- terest turns to stage dancing. We are sure she has a great opportunity in this direction. ELEUSINIA, MINERSVILLE, PA. 1932 EVA K. KULPAVAGE Eve Kulpie 'AYev Operetta 3. Glee Club 3, 4. Girl Reserves 3. Dramatics 3.

With this mysterious power George should be quite successful in any line of business. -Ihre ELEUSINIA, MINERSVILLE, PA., 1932 iifty-fourj CLAYTON B. SHELHAMER Fat Clayton Operetta 4. The greatest men may ask foolish questions now and then. Clayton is the big boy of the Senior class. Think not that he is harmful because of his size. He wouldn't hurt a iiea.

We elected class officers before entering the High School. Those officers were elected under the supervision of our own Miss Brady in the Junior High School. The officers were: President ......... ..... K enneth Brennan Vice President .... ..... Leo nard Sabol Secreta1'y . ..... ..... A ddie Price Treasurer . ........................... ....... M ary Donoris Then after the usual speech making and applauses the Class of '34 was ready to enter M. H. S. although we did not enter until the following Au- gust 28. Many were the difficulties which confronted us, but the upper classmen co-operated with us and we were very seldom referred to as Greenies or Fresh We were constantly harassed by financial difficulties but, like all the rest, we met and overcame them. Then, unfortunately, the Summer of '31 brought a great loss to our class. This was the death of one of our well-liked classmates, Charles Broderick. We returned to routine September 9, as Sophomores. At the time our new annex was under construction with the result that we went on half- time. This situation, however, was soon overcome and the class of '34 will always be proud of the fact that they were one of the classes of M. H. S. when that beautiful annex was completed, dedicated and presented to the public. Soon after the opening of school the class met and elected officers. The result of the election was: President ....... ..... P aul Schack Vice President .... ..... Leo nard Sabol Secretary . ....... ..... A ddie Price Treasurer . .............. ............. Mary Donoris Our President-elect left Minersville and the result of another election brought Kenneth Brennan into office for a second term. Now our class is eagerly looking forward to our next year as Juniors when we will adopt the standards of upper-classmen. lseventy-one 1932 ELEUSINIA, MINERSVILLE, PA., sevf-nt y-lwuj of. xl :Ofc Q, Sl N - Qow gf K f V f 'K 'PM ' 6 if L LEUSINIA, MINERSVILLE, PA., 932 - 975 K Q mia, J' K A, W 'u' ' , .1 .5 T '11 1 ' ', ,-ilk ., - 'QL SX ,fi-1 FRESHMEN GIRLS Y, . 154-x'vnty-three EI.E U SI NI A, M IN'E R S'VI LIJE , P.A. , 15332 E 5 E I S -as 'I seventy-fnurj I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I BOYS IUMEN ES FR ' I ELEUSINIA, MINERSVILLE, PA., 1932 FRESHMAN ORGANIZATION PRESIDENT ......

Thoughts of the new high school urged us on. We felt very timid as we approached the auditorium, but that feeling was soon dispelled.

En och Szal Secretary ..... .... M arfalda Trassatt Treasurer .................................... Agnes Murphy The first month sped rapidly because our time was occupied with many new school activities. A few days after school began we organized a home room club. Then we became engrossed in Rhetorical programs which were held every two weeks. Later the pep meetings made us feel that we were really a part of the school. Before we realized it, examinations were 'upon us. These questions filled our minds. Will I pass? Will I be on the distinguished honor roll or just the honor roll? H The library appeared-to be the center of interest. If you should happen to pass by, your attention would be attracted by many pupils working at the tables, a few looking over reference books, and others browsing through the shelves.

Having lost all but four lettermen from the great 1930 team including Gruzdis, Boran, Soblesky, Land, Putsavage, Sandae Angelo and Pukas, the 1931 team began the s-ason laboring under a great handicap. The season was started in fine style and Tamaqua was defeated by the score of 6 to 0. After a two weaks' lay off, Mahanoy City High and St. Jeromes Catho- lic High of Tamaqua were both held to scoreless ties on successive Satur- days The squad then went into a slump and lost to Coaldale, Shenandoah and Coal Township. . We played Coal Township at night this being the firsttime that a team to represent Minersville High School ever participated in a night game. Schuylkill Haven was all geared to do the impossible-defeat a Miners- ville High School football team. After trailing 6 to 0 throughout three quar- ters of the game the Minersville High School team rallied in the final few minutes to snatch a 7 to 6 victory from Schuylkill Haven. The most bitter defeat of the season was administered by our ancient rivals, Pottsville by the score of 13 to 0. Although defeated, we are some- what consoled by the fact that our rivals would have to administer four such defeats to atone for the 56 to 0 beating handed them by the team of '31.

In the last four years she won three championships and was a runner-up the other year. Because of the great number of teams in the County, it was almost im- possible to have one league. It was necessary to divide the teams into two divisions, north and south. Each division being independent of the other. Blythe Township has, in the last few years, been the main obstacle in the way of the Minersville teams. The 1930 team was a runner-up for the championship but was finally beaten by Blythe Township in'the last game. The 1931 team lost only two out of the ten games played. The deciding game between Blythe Township and Minersville was played at Cressona, Minersville winning the championship by a 13 to 10 score. The 1932 baseball team will have to create an entirely new infield, due to the graduation of four players. It will be a very hard task to find an in- field as good as that ofthe 1931 team. But the teams of Minersville High School have been in similar positions before and they have always managed to put a good baseball team on the diamond. We will continue to have good teams as long as this sport continues to be played. Much of the credit for having good teams in all sports must go to our ever popular Coach, Mr. Elberti. He has given a great deal of his time to the sports of Minersville ,High and his fidelity should be rewarded It is at this time that we congratulate him on his success and hope that it will con- tinue in the future. 1931 SCHEDULE AND RESULTS April 10-M.

' This phrase has been used quite frequently by the directors of various dramatical productions in our high school. M. H. S. has always urged dra- matics but this year the new spacious stage seemed to actually invite the student body to use it. Consequently there was always someone desiring it forfpractice. Often there was a double demand for the stage and the con- ditions became embarrassing. It would have been quite amusing if the stage could have uttered it's choice as to whom it, personally, would prefer. Assembly programs given by the Biology Club, Mathematics Club, His- tory Department, English Department, Latin Department, French Club and Girl Reserves were received with great applause by the student body. The classes produced their annual programs as follows: Christmas Program ................ .....,... S ENIORS Thanksgiving Program ....... ........ J U.NIORS Washington, Lincoln Program ........ SOPHOMORES I Memorial Day Program ................. FRESHMEN V . V , All programs showed the splendid ability of those who participated and of the -faculty members who directed them. , The big features of the year were the Operctta Betty Lou, a musical comedy, under the supervision of Miss Mary Glant, the music supervisor, Miss Elizabeth Campion and Miss Ruth Lawrence, and Once There Was a Princess under the direction of Miss Elizabeth Fisher. The towns people have always shown their eager expectation for the performance each year. Both features were accepted this year with praise from the public. All programs delivered upon the new stage were worthy of production and proved to be a great help in bringing forth the talent of students which might otherwise have been concealed forever.

Towering tiers of steel grow, Their dust shuts out the sun, The last prairie denizens go. Again, man has won. 'E'LEUSINIA, MINERSVILLE, PA., 1932 WASHlNGTON'S WESTERN JOURNEYS By Joseph J. Lazaravich, '32 The recounting of Washingtorfs travels is only possible through the note that he kept on his many journeys. He kept his notes in order, as though he knew they would, in time, be used as history. Most of these have the brief, more interesting incidents of his travels, and it is the belief of many that they were written when Washington was weary from travel. Washington did not travel with the single thought of the tourist, but his travels were all takenvin with the eye of an engineerg a paternalistic head of, a great country, one who plans for others, not himself Washington's view and words uttered on his last Western jouiney cannot be forgotten when he expressed himself on that great national undertaking--transportation. The same words entered in his diary, which pointed the way to cement the East and West in union and close sympathy: It is to open a wide door and make a smooth way for the produce of that Country fthe westj to pass to our markets before the trade may get into another channel ..... One of his first journeys was taken over ,the Blue Ridge Mountains when, at the age of sixteen, he was appointed surveyor of Lord Fairfax's vast hold- ings on the other side of the Blue Ridge. George received this position by virtue of his brother Lawrence's marriage to Ann, the daughter of Lord Fairfax. The most interesting incident of the trip took place on March 23, 1748, when the party of surveyors came upon a band of Indians returning from a war. The party put the band of Redskins into a humor of daunc- ing by the tender of some y. Liquor. Washington, in his account of this happening, described it: They clear a Large Circle and make a Great Fire in y. middle then seats themselves around it y. Speaker makes a grand speech telling them in what Manner they are to Daunce after he has finished y. best Dauncer jumps up as one awaked out of a Sleep and runs and Jumps about y.

Q Aj Between the years 1743 and 1760, the Virginia Council made forty-three land grants totalling more than three million acres, of which the Ohio Com- Lfme hundred- seven ELEUSINIA, MINERSVILLE, PA., 1932 pany got two hundred thousand acres. Washington's brothers, Lawrence and Augustine, were prominent members of the company, Lawrence becoming head after the demise of Thomas Lee, and after the death of Lawrence Wash- ington, Governor Dinwiddie of Virginia became its leader. The original grant of two hundred thousand acres was to be increased to three hundred thous- and acres, if a fort was built and maintained, and a hundred families settled within its domains during a period of seven years. The famed journey of Washington from Virginia to Fort LeBoeuf came about as a result of the claim by the French of the region around the Forks of the Ohio, where the grant of the Ohio Company was laid. When the French made this move, Dinwiddie, as both Governor and head of the Ohio Company, decided to send George to the French Commander at Le Boeuf with the warning that they were encroaching upon land granted by the English King. Washington was also instructed, to take careful note of all he saw, especially of the French forts, and to pick out a suitable site for a British fort, that of the Ohio Company. The journey to the French fort was of no hardship, but the trip back had many obstacles, notably that of ice floes. It was only after he was repeatedly stopped by the ice fioes, that he donned Indian walking dress, long leggings and a belted shirt. It was with this outfit that he returned to Cumberland, Maryland. His last journey to the West took place after the close of the Revolution- ary War. At that time, he resolved to take a trip westward to inspect his land holdings. Accompanied by his devoted friend, Dr. Craik, Washington set off on September 1, 1784, for Bath, now Berkeley Springs, West Virginia. He arrived at his destination on September 5, and three days later pushed on to his holdings at Washington's old mill, twelve miles from the present New Haven, Pennsylvania. Here he transacted his business and also found that his land was overrun 'by squatters. Almost immediately after his return, Washington wrote a letter to Gov- ernor Harrison of Virginia urging the opening of communications with the Great Lakes and the interior country. The direct outcome of this letter was the passage of a law by both Maryland and Virginia in 1785 for the formation ofa navigation company to connect the East and West. Washington was chosen first president of this organization, which was known as the Potomac Company. At the same session, the Virginia Assembly passed an act for clearing and improving the navigation of the James River. On October 20, 1785, Washington was elected president of the James River Navigation Com- pany, the active duties of which he declined. It was with these two honorary positions that Washington ended his journeys to the West. It was afitting tribute to one who so untiringly put his efforts to the development of internal transportation. one hundred eight! ELEUSINIA, MINERSVILLE, P'A., 1932 GEORGE WASHINGTON Sergius Pechinsky, '32 Sometimes it occurs in the life of every man to meet despair and mis- fortune with a great deal of fortitude This mental strength may be large or small in degree, but nevertheless it is there. It is classified under many namesg courage, perseverance and initiative. It may be that the amount of this neutralizing force must compare relatively with the obstacles which confront us. Perhaps this is the logical reason for the noble spirit and ex- treme patience of George Washington, for very seldom is a person beset with such extreme difficulties as was the Father of his Country. Famine, the disorganizing forces of Nature, pecuniary diiiicultiesg all these were the trials of civil lifeg but no one knows how many more there were, even more diffi- cult to surmount, in his private life. The figure of Washington is so far removed from the plane of our ordin- ary life that it is a sacrilege not to be filled with a spirit of reverence and awe when his name is mentioned. Many authors take advantage of the per- versity of the twentieth century to crown themselves with a false glory, by making themselves appear in the light of first rate critics and analysisg delv- ing into unknown realms and extracting products concerning this great man that should not even be published. It remains for the higher minded mem- bers of our communities to stamp out these misty repofrts, by instilling in their neighbors and themselves a hero-worship, for Washington is truly America's hero. If one has not an idealistic statd of mind, it would be better to view Washington as a man, a strong man, able to share hardships, and able to endure pain. To the intellectual group who may consider themselves as mental superiors of Washington, may it be said that were it not for his militaristic integrity, and his political skill, he would be well-knovnm for his treatise on surveying and his Essentials of Politenessf' Many may wonder at the fact that very few are familiar with these yvorks, but true, so many disparaging articles have been written about Washington that it is no won- der that we are unfamiliar with the Hman. Lacking hero-worship is one of the detriments of the present age. Let the militarist remember Washington as the soldier, allow the scholar to re- member him as the writer, but let us remember him as the man, lone hundred nine ELEUSINIA, MINERSVILLE, PA., 1932 nf- llllllllltil Lenj C USINIA, MIN 655 QQ 1 WW X 5' X IYIRYMAIB fm F' LKG f y ER I-iw: Lv'f SVILLE, PA., 193 S M fr L, 1 f gb' -Yr f Jf+Zf L -f 2717711 Rgg, Qi wi 1, Sign jwokgf 1 1 N 4341 fam vs L01 is A V 4 ff ua h gf :thing QM A104 F- blrkl walk c al tink a 'yds W fly! wi!! 3 6 Il s a n gr and har gm W, , If 14. gp v Y.: .,,,g fl, 4 -Jw' ' Bra .A fl 'Tv' -,aff :jj L'f, - W K' 5 ,..,-.. 1 WWW fl' 21 12 3,1 3 5 il 'YE ff A I , I M , Noon-Q. 1 'I H ?
