THE ELEUSINJQIA 11 . rifiv J' jf 1 1 A YEAR BUOK PUBLISHED BY- THE SENIOR CLASS IN THE YEAR NINETEEN THIRTY- SIX ..... THE HIGH SCHOOL MINERSVILLE, PENNSYLVANIA 7 no oRE WORD INCE Shakespeare held that all the world was a stage whereon each man must play his part we present this, our annual, as a four year drama of our high School life. At times our exits may be poor, our stage unbalanced, our lines garbled or forgotten yet--the actors have put their best efforts into the production. It is our one wish that our audience find their efforts worth the scanning. --THE EDITORS Page two The Opening Vista heme .... ECAUSE Shakespeare has written plays that still live viviclly in our classrooms and on our stages and because from tinie to time we have dared to find likenesses to his characters in our- selves and our classmates we have given each senior a Shakespearian quotation and used the plays of Shakespeare as our theme. Page three edication ECAUSE they composed the song which hashbe- come the official school song of the Minersville High School, and because they have achieved dis- tinction in their chosen fields, we gratefully dedicate this volume of the Eleusinia to three former graduates: Verna Frantz Price '23, Harold W. Frantz '17 and Andrew W. Case '18, Page fo HIGH SCHOOL SONG The White and Blue On a hill 'neath azure mountain skies, Is a fountain-head of silvery stream, Flowing o'er the sands of time To distant seas. Distant seas,-the heights our youth attain Fed by silvery streams of life, That fountain-head on hill side green, Untainted source of living stream Must ever onward flow. CHORUS: So carry on, M. H. S., With colors ever true, Waving in the mountain breeze, The White and Blue, For yours has been a fruitful past, And your efforts crowned with fame- So keep that torch of honor bright, Defending your glorious name. Carry on forever M. H. S.! Carry on with standards always high! Wave the glorious colors true- The White and Blue! Wings of inspiration urge us on, Urging us our goal to gain., Ever onward thru the years We'll raise our colors and our cheers, For dear old M. H. S.

Edward is probably the most bashful and quiet boy we have. He seldom has anything to say unless the topic of discussion is sports in which he takes the greatest interest. He is, himself, an active participant in athletics and one ofthe high school's few three-letter men. Clipper intends to continue his work in the field of sports and hopes to get into a professional baseball lea- gue. The class of '36 wishes him the best of luck both on and off the dia- mond.

Julia can be very quiet until the group she is with says something that she does not agree with. 'Ihen pre- pare, and prepare wcll, for a great deal of opposition is bound to be thrust at you. Julia often expresses her desire to be tall, so she can be a model ther choice along the line of professionsb. Already she has displayed her ability in modeling by showing us the style we should follow no matter where we are-a bright smile and cheerful dis- position. Page twenty-three Isabel H.

I know her well, the brooch and gem of all the nation. Zilch is one of the most popular girls in the high school. She has her own personality and wit. Needless to say, she uses it. Her frankness makes her a valuable and true friend, and she has few if any enemies. Active in scholastic and extra-curricular activi- ties, she seems the modern high school senior. .ffgff - 4 , af., .Ni Alice Bagdonas Operetta 115 1455 Glee Club 115 125 1455 Biology Club 1255 French Club 1455 Library Assistant 115 1353 Basket- ball 1155 Girl Reserves 1453 Home Room Programs 135 145. A maiden hath no tongue but thought. Alice is one of the few girls of our class who never have anything to say. However, although she is quiet and re- served she has acquired a great many friends during the past four years. One of Alice's favorite pastimes is fixing her note book. She takes great pride in having her notebook the neat- est and the most complete in the class. We all know that if Alice does her fu- ture work as completely as her note book success will be hers. ll? , X.

Michael did not join our class until the start of our Senior year having left school a few years back to go to work. He soon made himself known by his brilliance in classes. Mike does a great deal of reading and has acquired considerable knowledge through this source. He takes his school work seriously and spends all his spare time in studying. Although he has not been a member of our class very long still he has become a regular member and we all wish him luck in his future work.

Ruth on joining a group makes herself audible by a high soprano Hello girls and a giggle or two. But she really is a welcome addi- tion to any group. For this reason she has many friends. Ruth has not made her future am- bition definitely known to us, but we surmise she'll end up as some- body's stenogf' If we are wrong in this assumption, we beg your pardon, Ruth, and wish you all the more luck in your chosen profession.

I dare do all that may become a mang Who dares do more is none. Bob is our all-around athlete. He has participated in almost all of the sports that the school has offered and has been above par in each. He is also a top notch student for al- though most of his time was taken up with athletics it was very seldom that his name was not upon the hon- or roll. Bob is very popular among his fellow students and has been the vice president of the class for the past two years. His ambition is to be a dentist and that the class of '36 sincerely hopes he will be the most painless dentist in the town.

Come ho! and wake Diana with a hymn. Kathryn is the woman athlete of the class. She is especially fond of outdoor sports such as skating, sled- ding, swimming and bicycling. She is also the Class' best story-teller and sometimes even she becomes frightened by her own weird tales. As an actress she has proven her- self. She usually takes the part of a person with an accent and does it with exceptional skill. Playing the piano is an every day job with Kathryn as she is the ac- companist for the school. Kate's ambition is to be a nurse and we hope she will find success in this line. Page twenty-six x 'lf y, nfs, e so e so F I H 3 Catherine C.

The people on the inside of this group, however, are not Kitty's only friends. Her fine Irish wit and humor have won a pleasant battle for her and she now occupies a rplace in all our hearts.

Talking and arguing are Augie's two chief pastimes. No matter what class he may be in Augie can al- ways find something about which to argue. In geometry classes he proved by his ability to solve a theorem that he was the outstanding reasoner of the class. As a musician Augie ranks high. He is a polished tenor and he plays a harmonica with unusual skill. Augie's ambition is to be an en- gineer and from his distinguished work in science and mathematics we know he is well fitted 'wr this vo- cation. Page twenty-seven in SX!! A Verna M.

And she is fair and, fairer than that word, of wondrous virtues. Verna is one of our best students both with regard to her school work and school activities. She spends con- siderable time studying and takes a great interest in her studies. Al- though she is no participant in ath- letics she takes part in most of the other activities. She is a member of numerous clubs and takes part in many plays and programs. However she is not entirely the quiet studious type for she can talk and jest as well as any. Verna and we all wish her lots of luck and patients. intends to take up nursing 1. 1 X Andrew James Candelore Class Treasurer 131 1415 Student Council 111 121 141g Boys' Glee Club 111g Operetta 111 121 131 141g Annual Play 1413 Color Bearer 1415 Special Program 121. Thou art e'en as just a man as e'er my conversation coped withal. Andrew is the kind of fellow who can change his mood very easily. In classes Andy is so quiet that one is almost unaware of his presence but once he is out of school he becomes as outspoken and fun-loving as the rest of us. Andy is one of the most court- eous and gentlemanly boys we have and because of this he has been the teachers' chief messenger boy for the past four years. He is also very popular and has been elected to numerous offices. Andy's ambition has never been disclosed but whatever it may be we know that by his winning personality he will attain it.

And she is fair, and fairer than that word and of wondrous virtues. This charming countenance belongs to one of the most care-free girls in our class. Although fun-loving, Anna can steady herself and rank with the brightest, if the occasion befalls her. Anna finds time for everything wheth- er scholastic or social. We know she'll smile her way through life to a success worthy of her. Helen T.

Quiet, smiling Helen has found a place in the respect and admiration of all students. Studious, zealous, scarce- ly a day passes without some comment upon Helen's ability. Scarcely a teach- er does not approve of her goodnature. The only way to sum her up is A friend of all and to all.

This is somewhat puzzling, for Jerome is one of the most popular boys in our class. Jerome seems satisfied if left to himself, in school, at least. However, Jerome can rise to the subject in a class debate and express himself as well as the best. We may not know the reason for his bashful exterior, but . certainly, we know Jerome. q .

These three adjectives Httingly describe Regina. A high ranking student, a good natured and fun loving friend in turns. Regina is thought well of by both classmates and teachers alike. A Virgil student of note, we wonder if her future rests in languages? Regina would be a cred- it to any profession.

John is the puzzle of all. Equally at home seeing the world, the locker room or a class room, he shows his ability to get along comfortably. John can speak to you intelligently on as widely separated subjects as the beau- ty of scenic America to the war debts. A rough exterior hides a heart of gold. ff7f Page thirty-one r r Lim.

Give thy thoughts no tongue Nor any unproportioned thought his act. Stanley is the male dancer of the class. 'I'here are not many dances in this vicinity that he does not attend. This is probably the reason that he is sometimes late for school in the morn- ing. In classes Stanley seems quiet and a bit timid, but those who are acquaint- ed with him know that he is as talka- tive and more witty than most of us. We do not know what his ambition is, but we wish him the best of luckin whatever it might be.

That which we are, we are. William seems to believe in this statement for he is always acting na- tural and this makes him a popular boy. He has a sort of dry humor and knows all the answers.

He waxes desperate with imagination. Wilson, or as he prefers to be cal- led, Lochinvar, is very imaginative This imagination, however, helps him a great deal. His work in dramatics proves this, because Without this grand imagination, he could not por- tray the parts he does, and with such ability.

Alphonsus is the sort of person who will try almost anything once in spite of results. He spends a great deal of his time in the library, browsing among the fascinating bookshelves. He es- pecially enjoys reading various ad- vertisements and probably tries afew samples or writes for a free booklet now and then. Alphonse is already working, he is a salesman for the Zanol Company. We hope Alphonse does not be- come affected with coffee-nerves. It may hinder him in landing some im- portant sales from very shrewd buy- ers.

She's apt to learn and thankful for good turns. Stephania is one of the quietest girls in the senior class. In her classes, who can never be heard speaking un- less spoken to, which makes her well liked among her classmates. Rhetoricals seem to worry her a great deal.

She can be commended on her very fine record as a scholar, being among the best of the class. Margaret is a very popular girl at the school dances. Before the dance begins, she usually has most of her dances promised. She is a very con- stant movie fan, so that we wonder who her movie hero is?

We don't know what the future has in store for Pat but we feel sure it is something bright. Perhaps we may find him taking the pictures of some future senior class.

Teddy is a hard working student who does good work not only as a student but also as a housekeeper She is by no means the quietest df the class, she can and sometimes does more than her share of talking. Theodora is a regular patron at the dances and probably that's the reason she looks sleepy and tired on Tuesday mornings. Keep up the dancing, you may dance yourself into a ballet.

The past is always looked upon with regretful and wistful eyes. It is no mean pleasure to be seated in the mean. We, as Sophomores, were neither underlings nor dwellers on Olympus i. e. Juniors or Seniors. At this stage we were undergoing a metamorphosisg we were beginning the change from under classmen to upper classmen.

The stage setting is the Minersville High School. Its plot is wrapped about the struggle of numerous boys and girls who are trying to achieve their goal in life with education supplying the milestones. There are many, dark, threatening clouds but these are erased by the penetrating sun, time and perseverance. For instance, we have successfully passed our Freshmen Year. lt, as you know, is the season in which the poor newcomers are playfully teased by the upper class- men. Now, that we are free from these annoyances, we have to work harder because our curriculum embraces vocational studiesg that is, the subjects we need for our later careers. Another black cloud is the on-coming of the mid- year and final examinations. The bright sun after these would be if we get A's instead of F's. On the whole, our school life occupies a great portion of our time and yields forth knowledge, wholesome amusement and delightful entertainment whiclb are the results of studies, sports, Lyceum, Operettas and Plays. We owe our sincere gratitude to the teachers who have worked incessantly to cultivate and ripen our minds, enrich our characters and make us well-man- nered citizens of the community and country. To these and all other individuals who have made our education possible or aided us in any way, we take the opportunity to express our sincere gratitude. Those of our cast who .have important roles are: President ....... .....WlLLIAM RITZEL Vice President ..... .... J EROME GLASS Secretary ....... .... . ANNA McNAMARA Treasurer ..... .... R OBERT KOEHLER Finally, but not least of all, we wonder if we have pleased our audience. It is composed of our parents and ardent supporters of our school. At any rate we have truly attempted to turn in a worth-while performance and await the curtain call for the act called Junior Year.

I -As You Like It. Friends, classmates, and faculty members, I have come to review the highlights in the history of the class of nineteen hundred and thirty-nine not to enumerate the lesser moments that we experienced. September, 1935, marked an epoch in the history of our lives as well as in the history of our Alma Mater. This occasion is memorable for three important reasons. First, our class added one hundred and ninety-six to the total enrollment of the high school. Secondly, marked talent was displayed by us in all fields of activities. Es- pecially in the music, athletic and dramatic department was the spirit of the Freshmen class manifested. lastly, it was during the first half of our freshman year that the new stadium and night football was inaugurated to the public. Over the destinies of the freshmen abides the following rulers: SENATE COUNCIL Caesar .......... ........ LO UIS DRUIVHVIETER Mark Anthony .... ..... RA YMOND BUFFINGTON Portia ......... .........

BEATRICE MARKS As these, our salad days, draw to a close, we may say, A thousand actions once afoot end in one purpose, -the sophomere year! Page eighty-six An Elizabethan Social House CLUBS The Minersville Chapter -of- 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 the organization is to create en- thusiasm of scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service,to promote worthy leadership and to encourage the development of character. Fifteen percent of each graduating class may be elected to this society which is the greatest honor that may be conferred upon a High School graduate. The organization is controlled by the National Education Association. Frank G.

Lillian Zubroff Margaret Wynn THE STUDENT COUNCIL Primarily an organization for the benefit of the students of the Minersville High School, the Student Council is composed of elected students from the various home rooms. Each representative is a contact man between the Student Council and his particular home room. He must attend all the meetings and report any new items taken up by the council to his room. The meetings of the Student Council are conducted under the parliamentary rules and are called by the president, who by way of custom, is always a Senior. Custom also demands that the office of vice president be given to a Juniorg that of secretary to a Sophomore and that of treasurer to a Freshman. Mr. Brady acts as an advisor. In past years, several of the councils published a weekly paper but this year's council did not consider it a profitable venture and therefore discontinued it. OFFICERS President .... ...... .....

The new advisors, Miss Parnell and Miss Campion, are also filling their positions commendably. The first entertainment of the year to be given by the Girl Reserves was a Valentine Party. As a special feature the girls gave a circus. It was very well presented. We intend to have treasure hunts, go camping and do numerous other things throughout the year. The new members show a marked interest in our activities which promises a bright future. Page ninety-one DEBATING Catherine Brennan '36 11:11 A creditable and most interesting debating season was carried on this year by an inexperienced but very competent group. It was the First step in the de- bating field for all members of the teams but proved themselves worthy. Three of the debaters, unfortunately, are in their last year of school but there is still one who we hope will carry on. The teams were under the coaching and guidance of Miss James and Mr. Purcell. The question for debate was of vital importance to every one of us. Resolve: That the several states should enact legislation providing for a system of com- plete medical service available to all citizens at public expense. The debaters upholding the Affirmative were: First speaker-James Cullath- er, Second speaker-Elaine Krasno, Alternates-August Brentari and Lawrence Kiefer. The debaters upholding the Negative were: First speaker-Jean Wiest, Second speaker-William George, Alternate--Isabel Artz. The teams with whom our home teams matched their skill were Tamaqua, Schuylkill Haven, Hegins and Tremont. Page ninety-two THE BIOLOGY CLUB Robert E. Wcinler '38 ...mi The Biology Club is an organization primarily for those having special inter- est in the Biological Sciences and those who desire to investigate and discuss problems of current Biology not touched upon in regular class work. During the current year the members of this club have had the opportunity to advance topics for discussion according to their own individual interests. Much attention has been given to new developments in the scientific field. Outdoor nature study hikes have offered excellent opportunities for the members to study nature in its real self. The officers of the club are as follows: President .................................... WILLIAM RITZEL Vice President .... ..... J OSEPH SHELLICK Secretary ...... ....... A LMA AGOSTI Treasurer .. ..... ANNA MCNAMARA Page ninety-three THE FRENCH CLUB Verna Brown '36 ...I-il... A French Club is organized to stimulate interest in French and all things re- lating to the subject. This year '4Le Petit Journal has furnished an interesting and amusing subject for the reading in the French club. The club has also spon- sored a program of songs en francais and a French play. It has been the cus- tom for only Seniors to take part in the French Club and in this we have held to tradition. This is necessary since second year French students are more familiar with the language and can, therefore, more readily comprehend the outside read- ing which is an essential factor in the club. The officers elected for the year were: President ......... ..... . JEAN WIEST Vice President ........... , .... VERNA BROWN Secretary and Treasurer .... .....

When the new addition was finished the students were asked to write essays about the building and the stage and auditorium received the most comment. The care of the auditorium has been left entirely in the hands of the stage managers who are well instructed in their duties by Mr. Saylor. The first crew selected Junior assistants who became Senior managers and this method has gone on year after year. A list of the former man- agers follows: Alfred Phillips, Michael Gober ..... 1932-1933 Albert Marazas, Meyer Miller .... 1933-1934 Albert Kosut, Edward Kress ....... 1934-1935 Algert Gustitus, Robert Fromme ,......................... 1935-1936 Camera men also performed valuable service and this year the posts were filled by James Williams and Wilson Snyder. Then there are the carpenters and artists who work so faithfully behind the curtain to make these attractive and staunch. This year the art work and carpentry was done very eiiiciently by Vincent Stein, Albert Galetz, Harry Zettick and Patsy Yannacone. Page ninety-five PUBLICITY DEPARTMENT Thomas Feeney '37 ...lil- The publicity department begun in 1933 for the advertising of football games has developed greatly in the last two years. The chief duty of the organization is the publicizing of high school activities. The work of this body in former years was confined chiefly to football. This year, however, the department advanced materially, in that publicity and advertising for all high school sports and functions such as the annual Play, Operetta, Basketball and Football games was ably taken care of by this group and, with the aid of several student newspaper reporters, co-operation of the papers was assured in all publicity. This group is worthy of commendation for their service which they willingly rendered throughout the year. The members of this department are Lawrence Kiefer, Thomas Feeney, Joseph Murphy, John Curran, Robert Weimer, Robert Forbes, Robert Koehler, Joseph Kimmel and Charles Vaicekauskas. Page ninety-six Ja L16 U The Clal ictherium MEASURE FOR MEASURE M U S I C I L THE GLEE CLUB Mary MCQMI '36 -E- The Glee Club is a musical organization open to all girls who are desirous of joining and who have acceptable voices. The Treble Clef and Eurydice Clubs have been joined in one larger organiza- tion this year. Such a group fills many a high school need. It provides a nucleus for any dramatic offerings where vocal solo work is required, it allows students interested in voice to have further practice than music classes allow, and it pro- vides intermission entertainment for debates, assemblies and special programs. Glee Club work calls for real effort, long practicesand complete cooperation between members and instructor. The greatest handicap an activity of this kind labors under is the lack of time for the all important practice periods. The club is under the supervision of Miss Mary Helen Glant. Page ninety-eight THE SCHOOL BAND Qertmdc Rosenberg '36 When the idea of having a school band first presented itself at M. H. S., it was met wi1h great enthusiasm, but there were many difficulties to be met once this idea took root. Mainly among these was the securing of a proper instrumen- tation and a band leader. After a few false starts, however, in which there was much changing about of bandleaders, the band under the baton of Mr. Tremitiere, blossomed forth as a well drilled musical organization of which M. H. S. was rightly proud. Since the initial appearance of the band in 1931 at a card party conducted for the benefit of uniforms, many snags have appeared in the path thus hindering rapid progress. At present the band numbers fifty. With the purchasing of many new instruments by the school and with the acquisition of a music library of all types of music, the Class of '36 looks forward to the rapid progress of the band to unprecedented heights. Page ninety-nine THE DRUM AND BUGLE CORPS Margaret Trapp '36 .-E1 The Drum and Bugle Corps of the Minersville grade schools was or- ganized in 1934. It had a membership of sixty-two pupils selected from the fourth grade to the sixth grade. The corps is progressing rapidly under the direct leadership of Mr. Anthony Tremitiere. The corps where time and rhythm are taught, still holds the same spirit and ambition, as of other years. These members will eventually fit themselves for the band in years to come. Therefore we are lookingifor- ward for an increasing membership which will iinallyllead up to a larger and more progressive band. Page one hundred HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA Matilda E. Frantz '36 im.. Although our modern orchestra owes its composition and development directly to a musical drama which sprang into being in Italy at the end of the sixteenth century, we owe the development and improvement of our high school orchestra to Mr. Anthony Trcmitiere. We have been under the baton of Mr. Tremitiere for four years and in that time have made wonderful progress and have added both operatic and classical numbers to our repertoire.

At the inaugu a ion of our 1935 football season the high school gave two things lo the people of lttinei-svillc,--an athletic stadium and night football. Wfhen in past years an alhlr-tic field for the children of Min- ersville was envisioned on the spot which was then being used as a dumping ground for refuse, most people were skeptical. Gradually, the possibility of a. sladium ht-came lnightcr until, in 1930, one of the greatest teams M. H. S. ever had, played on tht giounds. Then in 1934 ii was dvcided to have the work done with thc aid of the Public XVo.ks Admiuistiation, which at that time was landscaping the school grounds. The suggestion nwt with the approval of the School Board anl work was l,:::un almost llTllllt'di2llt'l5'.' The 1935 footlsall team had the honor of being the first team to play in the .ni-w stadium, although it was still incomplete. When completed it will he a year-round sports paradise. l'ield houses :Le io he constructed along with volley hall, li.-skethnll and unnis con.-ts, Prohalhly, a playground will be p.ovicled for the slnaller children.

ELBERTI Coach IN ACTION The football season of 1935, while not setting an un- beatable pace was successful in more issues than one. The inauguration of night football which was considered more or less of a novelty a few years back, became the realized dream to the sport loving M. H. S. fans. The season, starting with a blaze of color by con- secutive victories over St. Clair, Freeland and Nesque- honing gave promise of a brilliant climax, until atem- porary and unexpected setaback by Mahanoy City. A fighting band of Battlin' Miners bowed again to a passing dervish of Flying Dutchmen from Lebanon. The underdog, going into the Frackville fray, the Battlin' Miners rose to a supreme height andhum- bled the Cocky Mountaineers in a decisive manner. Then on the crest of a winning wave, due to a last half stand the Coal Township Purple Demons were overthrown by inspired effort. Our winning streak was brought to an abrupt end by the hand of the Blue CHARGING Page one hundred tive the famed aerial attack which has always been associated Devils from Shenandoah who played over their heads in order to avenge last year's defeat and were prac- iically unbeatable. The Battlin' Miners came back and played the Mount Carmel group off their feet in everything but the final score which came about due to one properly executed play. We lost, but were not conquered. Blythe Township took advantage of all breaks that came their way and deadlocked us 19-19 and would have defeated us, but for the renewal of with M. H. S. G.

H.'s only chance of victory- the aerial attack and speed. But Ashland came to be 1935 State Champions, so we were somewhat consoled. We have had a successful season, losing five, win- 'ling five, and tying one. That is by no means an un- successful grid season. But may next year's team get the breaks that were denied us, and achieve an un- defeated season. Page one hundred six JAMES J.

The Varsity ended their season with four games won and eleven lost. In many a game lack of height was responsible for the defeat. Although not up to the expectations of the spectators, both coach and the team tried vigorously to improve the showing. In league competition the Varsity won three and lost eight. There will be good material left for next yearis team as we lost only five men, Pasco, Lapinsky, Andruczyk, Gustitus and Michalski. During the season the Junior Varsity kept practicing with the Varsity so that they might have plenty of experience for the coming year. The fresh- men team joined thcse practices later on during the season. Although peo- ple say it was an unsuccessful season, the participants thought it success- ful because we had a team that worked together earnestly and manfully. We hope our successors improve on our record both as regards to height of body and of scores. The Junior Varsityls basketball record was as follows: M. H. S. JV's .................. M. H. S. JV's M.

'age one hundred ten GIRLS' BASKETBALL Vera Kostiuk and Carmela Phillips '36 The growth of interest in girls' hasketlvall may be shown by eontrasting the pres- ent season with the year 1930. That season there were six teams, forty-seven play- ers playing ten games. This year, 1936, proves there has been an added interest with a total of two hundred and nineteen girls comprising thirty teams and playing one hundred and eighteen games. The past seasons indicate that basketball has been given mum-h consideration and attention on the part of the girls. The intramural games were piayed after school with the final battle resting he-tween the Seniors and Ffrt-shmen. the latter proving victorious after a very hard fought game. The girls who won the ehainfpionship of the sehool were Madeline Mt'Alarnes, Mary Kasienen. 1-'ranees Kiefer. Anna Leshko, Helen Kozlov, llelen Loveliek and Virginia llanaravivh. These intramural games were offieiated by girls from the senior elass who have made haskethall one of their major sports. Being interested in knowing all rules and regulations concerning the game, the girls proved themselves worthy and aeeurate officials. The c-andidates for the Varsity and .lunior Varsity were ehosen from the players of the entire group. All 'hut the most promising nt-re eliminated, this total being worked down to a. group of twenty-one girls on the Varsity squad and twenty-two girls on the Junior Varsity squad. As graduation took the toll of players last season, praetieally all new, inexperienced material was used which resulted in an exeeptiorn- ally good team. This season, graduation will not effect the squad greatly, consequent- ly there is adequate material remaining for the ensuing season. The senior members of the squad sincerely wish the girls we have so mueh enjoy- ed working with, an enjoyable and successful season. The squad is under the direction of Miss Ruth Lawrence. assisted by Miss Alice Jack. 'The st-hedule for the 1935-19316 season was as follows: T S 14 li . H. ................ ..........

By virtue of the excellent teaching of the finer points of the game by Coach Elberti the team finished a very close second in the newly created P. I. A. A. baseball league. This year with a. veteran squad at hand the team is all set to cop the league championship and enter the tournament to determine the state champion. The form- ing of a league and the tournament to determine the state champion has caused a new interest to arise in the hearts of players and fans alike throughout the county. When the cry 'iplay ball is echoed for the opening of the 1936 season the follow- ing squad will take the field for Minexsville High School: Pitchers-Lawrence Pasco, Robert Fromme, John Morgalis, Alvin Maurer. Catchers-Ted Polansky, Thaddeus Jalnlonski. Inflelders-George Allen, Joe Lapinsky, Edward Andruczyk, Algert Gustitus, An- drew Pleszkoch, Leonard Domlesky. Outflelders-William Allen, Elvin Luxton, William Rusinskas. Student Manager-Edward Kedell. n -ij-u, TRACK AND FIELD Elvin Lwcton With Fromme, Pasco, Narkiewicz, Czwarc, Luxton, Lombardi, Boran and Benrlo- kas as veterans the 1936 Track and Field squad looked very promising. Frommii Luxton and Pasco are the veterans in the dashes. Narkiewicz, Lom- bardi, Boran and Bendokas take Dart in the middle distance event and Czwarc runs the mile. Gustltus, Fromme. and Stanchick take part in the field events. Fromme, Narkiewlcz, and Lombardi also make the high jump one of their specialties. Having had a. championship relay team during the 1935 season, the 1936 trackmen hope to repeat. Last year's championship relay team which consisted of Pasco, From- me, Stanchick and Adamovage covered the distance in the fast time of three minutes and thirty-eight seconds. This year's relay team will very likely be composed of Fromme, Pasco, Narkiewicz, and one of the following: Ozware, Luxton, Lombardi, Boran and Bendokas. The members -of the 1936 track and field squad and all teams hereafter will have an added practice advantage in the new cinder track ln the stadium. Last yea.r's schedule and the results were as follows: 1. Minersville High School ........ 59 2. Minersville High School ........ 44 Glrardville High School ......... 27 Blythe Twp.

And beg you hold them in your heart. Four years ago we never thought As now, of what the years have brought For as Freshmen we just couldn't see How we would feel in leaving thee. But now as Seniors, perhaps not the best We ask you to keep us as the rest And as we journey along in life May knowing you help us in our strife. Oh school of schools we kneel and pray And breathe this word across the way A word so full of love 1:hat's true And loyalty we give to you. Page one hundred forty-three Q.- .
