The trouper tales We have prepared, the acts We have rehearsed cure now ready for your judgment. We realize that our efforts may have produced only a very amateur circus with few marks of professional shownian- ship. But we have tried to synchronize the pro- gram: we have .done our best to include every act cmd performer possibleg we have tried to keep the three rings going at once. We hope sincerely that we please our audience. THE EDITORS THEME From Rome to Ringling We have had circuses. The world of spangles, clowns, peanuts, elephants, tents, and troupers has for centuries fascinated boys and girls of all ages. The big top has provided us with thrills and excitement, it has given us our therne. We lift the tent-flap and invite you to follow. thl'Ee D E D I C A T I O N : SUPERINTENDENT EDWARD A. BRADY l The superirvtendency of Q public school district in now more than ever a sacred trust demanding of its holder a sense of civic responsibility, a qift of understanding of childhood and adolescence, and a philosophy that takes in the fullness of the future. To our mind, Mr. Brady has embodied all these things and has shown, too, an energy and Q humor that lift administration from routine to a warm humcmity. Because of these qualities of character and leadership, we respectfully dedicate this Volume of the Elpeusinia to Mr. Edward A. Brody. tour IN MEMORIAM WILLIAM ,CHARLES ULMER Bom: Icmuczry 24, 1928 Died: October 22, 1943 fi-V6 THIBUTES TO BILLY ULMER BY HIS CIAASSMATES I'll always remember Billy as a Sun- day School pal who T advmlired a great degal.

One of the exceptional things about her is the tact that she studies in study hall and the home room. She has a place reserved on one of the honor rolls -and -she usually occupies it. On assembly programs she has dis- played to the audience considerable tal- ent and shows promise of becoming cr good orator. Besides being one oi the most attract- ivc: girls in the class, her pleasing person- ality makes her one ot the mosi popular. She has a sense ot humor that makes her ready at all times to appreciate a good joke. Although lean joined us in her sopho- more year, she made friends quickly and won or place in our hearts. If lean is cs capable and courteous a citizen as she was an usher we can feel sure she'll make a success ot whatever she endeavors to do in the future. twenty-I' our V, ,Q ll' JULIA BODAK Rationing Assistant 123 t3l, Assembly Program f2l, Special Program f3i, Mc- Arthur Club Assistant Htl, Card Party Committee fill, Prom Committee till, March of Dimes fill UU, Scrap Drive t3J. Here is one ot the quiet girls ot our class, Iulia can usually be seen studying except when someone says or does some- thing funny and then she breaks down and hos a good laugh. But don't think. either, that she is always without a word! She and the gentleman in front oi her in Room 7 exchange quite a few. Iulia is ia commercial student and her report card shows that she is a good one at that. Often times she ccn be seen walking up and down Sunbury Street, but this is as closely os we can follow her outside of school. ln school she is co- operative, thoughtiul, and industrious. Iulia intends to become an angel of mercy and we're sure she will earn her think she has the qualities a good nurse should have. share ot luck in liie.

Vince has been one of our for the past two years, and is in that capacity. Frequently cz glimpse of him behind the stage crew well known we caught ladder, be- tween curtains, or manning the spot . To say Vince is good humored is an understatement. His contagious grin and cheertulness have helped make our high school career a good one. Besides these things he has always been willing to co- operate and do his share. This year we seldom saw him without his camera, His eftorts on the picture committee of the yearbook bore a lot of good results and he seemed to enjoy do- inq the work. In class Vince's good humor is appar- ent, and his constant energy contributes to any commotion in Room 7. His daily trips after attendance slips made him a well known figure throughout the high sctfool. We think Vinny is a good fellow and we shall miss him. W ffl? 55?

There are some fellows who need no introduction, and here is one of them. Being a versatile young gentleman, Alan was active in athletics, on the staff of the White 5: Blue, and a member of the stage managers, which made him a familiar sight in the auditorium. In his first two years in high school his musical ability won him a place in the band. L For obvious reasons he is popular with the tems in and out of school. Alan is a goodfnatured fellow and he is always ready to contribute to the amusement and entertainment of the class. He gets along with both teachers and classmates, which is an accomplishment in itself.

Al- ways ready and willing to do anyone a favor. toe has been most helpful to both teachers and students. Joe, being a good student, was usually quiet except when an argument arose at which time his voice was heard loud and long. He usually expressed his opinion in such a way that his listeners were won over to his way of thinking. His efforts as editor ot the White G Blue did much to improve the character of the school. His editorials were interest- ing and based on good topics. loe's naturally curly hair was the envy of the iairer sex, and his scientific and mathematical ability made him the envy oi the boys. All in all Ioe is one of the pals we're proud to call classmate. twenty-six fl' MARY BRENNAN March oi Dimes f2l f3l, Hatiorring As' sistant t3l fill, Special Program t3l fill, Home Room Proaram f3l till, Mac- Arthur Club Assistant t3l t4l, Card Party Committee till, Salvage Committee t3l f4l. Mary is the little Irish lass of our class who hails irom New Castle Street. She ts the proud possessor of a beautiful crop of shoulder length, naturally curly hair. On Saturday nights you can usually find her dancing at the Globe and she rates high in the jitterbug ranks. Al- though usually quiet in the homeroom and classes, it has been said that she con- tributes her share of noise and laughter to any gang that has congregatecl outside of school. Although a good commercial student, she has altered her course to fulfill the requirements needed to become a good nurse. The members of the class of '45 think that she will be as capable ol handling hor future lite as she w-as her high school career. rfb vtftg l .D THOMAS M.

Besides orchestra and band rehearsals, he also or Lyric ushers at the Opera House Theatre. Although Tom seems very quiet, we know he gets his share of talking done. Whenever he speaks, he is worth listen- ing to because he can be very entertain- ing in telling some of the newest jokes, or very serious, as the time may demand. Tom has been in Minersville High School since his junior year, and in this short time he has won his way into the hearts of all those who know him by his friendliness and sincerity. We certainly mean it when we say it was West Ma- hanoy Township's loss and our gain. May all the luck in the world be yours, Tcm. f 'if ,. -' Z CATHERINE T.

Kitty , as she is known to all of us. is one of the happy-go-lucky girls ot this ye-ar's class. Nothing except shorthand ever troubles her. Kitty's lrish temper almost always creeps up in P. O. D. class, but she always has a good argument ready to submit to the class. If it were up to Kitty , the boys in the service would never be unhappy because of lack of mail. She enjoys writing letters and spends much of her time doing so. Her favorite sport is basketball and she is one of those girls that every qirl's basketball team needs. From wherever she shoots the ball, it never fails to go whizzing through the basket. Kitty doesn't dance very much, but she can be found occasionally at the Globe, with Lorraine, her closest friend with Whom she always seems to be hav- ing a good time.

Here we have the politician of Room 7. Whenever you heard something that sounded like a speech, all you had to do was look in Bob's direction and you'd see immediately the source of the noise. But he didn't always have something to say. There were times when Bob had to com- plete his shorthand assignment and had no time for kidding. Bob likes the commercial course, to ride to school every day, and to tease the girls. He also does some dancing and can be seen at the Globe fairly often. Bob is one ot the movie fans, too. He goes to St. Clair almost every week end to find entertainment. He can always be seen with Pat and Tom, his inseparable pals. The three of them very seldom missing an away game, and going to one of the surrounding towns to see a good motion picture. Wher- do much traveling in Pat's car, often ever your travels in life lead, Bob, we hope you will find success and happiness awaiting you. twenty-eight Home Room Representative fll, Basket- ball f3l, Usher UU, Library Assistant i3l, Rationing Assistant f2l, Special Program f3l, Home Room Program f2l i3l, Bank Officer f2l, Card Party Com- mittee f4l, Garland Group f3l. Although Doris is one of the shorter members ot our class, she has shown us that her height is not a hindrance. On the basketball court she is one of the best. She likes all sports and very seldom miss- es a game. Doris likes to talk, dance. skate and spend her evenings at Bea's with Peggy and the rest of the high school crowd. She is a commercial student, but We don't know yet it she intends to secure a position in the business world after grad- uation. We hope she is successful in whatever she chooses because she is one oi the people who you can always de- pend upon to keep smiling, no matter how difficult a task is or how tiresome.

Here we have the mystery man of the class. Noel says very little about him- self so it is extremely difficult to learn much about him. At first glance, Abe may seem to be very quiet, but if you could see him in chemistry class, you would learn that he can be just as mischievous as the next fellow. He plays football and can be classed with the football heroes of this year's graduating class. I-le is not the most ambitious student of the school, but he does get'his work done and he is al- ways willing to help somebody else with his homework or whatever work they may have. Abe's pet pastimes while in school are amusing the fairer sex and annoying teachers with some of his jokes. Beneath all this, Noel is very friendly and good- natured.

He is often seen in the company of his sister, as they walk to and from school together. I-le is an academic student cmd seems to take his work seriously. Usually he can be called a boy of few words, but when he speaks his words are worth lis- teninq to. Albert is a very pleasant boy to know. l-le has a rare tenacity of purpose that in- sures the reaching of his goal. thirty-two GERALD R.

He is a loyal student, attending all school activities, and quite willing to help. Gerald is not an especially noisy mem- ber of our class, but we know he contri- butes some, -and can do his share of talk- ing and adding zest and sparkle to the usual routine.

Ioe forms another link in the chain of academic students and it seems to be Mr. lvIurphy's pet phobia to call on Ioe at the beginning oi each English session. During his spare time he can be seen sitting on Citrullo's front porch talking and joking with his friend, Gerald, and other pals. loe is also ambitious as he uses his leisure time distributing the local paper.

The likely reason for this is the fact that he puts a sincere effort towards being an asset to his fellowmen. The latest reading material keeps him well informed and certainly will aid him in the future. Golden surprised the P. O.

Catherine Savini is her closest friend as far as we know, but it is rumored that she had another friend of the masculine order. She is a quiet, industrious and thoughtful young lady and we wish her well. All in all, Amelia may make a very excellent secretary for some local busi- ness man. forty-three 0 a LILLIAN T.

Stella is one of the smaller girls in our class. Small, yes, but loads of lun and a Welcome figure anywhere. She can usually be found at the live with her friends, having a good time and contributing much of the gaiety. On Wednesdays nad Saturdays she goes to the Globe to dance. She has really devel- oped her dancing to an art and loves to jitterlnug, Through her four years ot school Stella has secured many friends but Mary has always held first place. Stella is also quite popular with the opposite sex. The only things that depress Stella are those shorthand assignments. We know that she will rise above this depression, however. After graduation Stella is going to take a Civil Service exam and work for her Uncle Sam. Good luck, Stella ! I nity-foul' CATHERINE A.

For tour years her stories about her horrible experiences have a- mused all her classmates. Katy is a commercial student and after graduation she intends. to make use of what she learned in M. H. S. by being somebocly's stenog. At tour o'clock every day, Catherine goes to work at Lapperfs and can't wait to get there. She believes that hard work is good for you. She makes frequent trips to Pottsville and they most assuredly arer1't business trips. Katy likes everyone - - especially people with red hair and you must admit that red hair is becoming- We hope that the future holds big things for Katy, and that she will be as happy as she always seemed in school.

H. S. There appears to be no differ- ence in us since those first fascinating fbut extremely nervousl frosh days. Al- though we are now upperclassmen, we continue to enjoy the same things that made life pleasant for us in the past. Somewhere years hence, we may remin- isce about the remote past and, remem- bering our eventful junior days, we'll think o : l. Our newly acquired confidence in ourselves because we were now upper- classmen. 2. The class election, when it became necessary to vote twice because some- one .stuffed the ballot box. We finally el- ected the following to serve as officers for 1944-45 school yearz: Pr:esident .......... Edward Coady Vice President .. Charles Rinaldo Secretary .......,,....... lean Kilmer Treasurer ......,.,, Helen Michalski 3. How we cooperated and entered into the spirit of the occasion. Evidence of this was shown. tal On the gridiron when capable-rep- resentatives were Vincent Citrullo, Ierry Freiler, Harold Gauntlett, Herman Harvey, Harold Helman, Robert Koster, Robert Kumpaitis, Charles Rinoldo, Leonard Sch- olato, Metro Szerba, Frank Tokarick, and Michael Yuhas. fbi On the basketball court able class members were Harold Gauntlett, Robert Kaster, and Frank Tokarick. fcl luniors actively participated in the glee olub and operetta. f4l. The World Series and the shortage of paper that resulted soon after their com- pletion. During this time a group of junior girls got together and started the basket- ball season early. The outcome: several accidents and more basketball tn the girls' health classes. ' 5. Our pep meetings where we could let off some ot the old steam and try to beat the seniors, who were usually victorious in the inter-class cheers. 6. Iunior wits who pulled this one over seventy-twq on any friend who happened to be near at hand: - V lunior: l-ley, somebody's looking for you. Friend: Who? Iunior: Umbriago. Umbriago and joke were two expres- sions which we easily added to our vo- cabulary. 7. l-low we faithfully observed the good neighbor policy, especially if our neigh- bors were good in geometry or Latin. 8. Macbeth proved a thriller and we learned to appreciate the immortal Shake- speare's work after reading historically important fbut dulll literature. 9. How we dreaded exams and crom- med six weeks work into our small brains in just one night. After examinations - - VJHEW - - RELAX ! 10. The heated arguments carried on in every class and the tension which existed at the time of the presidental election. Dewey supporters grimly took defeat, but later on all was forgotten. ll. How we eagerly waited for movies and lyceums. The girls all but swooned when Alan Ladd, appearing in a bit part, was first shown on our screen in the pic- ture Captain Caution . Movies and ly- ceums were favored, especially if it meant missing a class. 12. The way the seniors hung signs and wrote on our boards, advertising their card party. Seniors, selling tickets, pur- sued us at every moment. When the big night came, many of us could be seen shuffling the decks. 13. How we congregated in Bea's and the classroom to play the Word Qamen. a favorite pastime for us when there was not anything else to do. l4. The n6ble btrd that caused such a sensation on the Thanksgiving Doy pro- gram. 15. The prom, which we successfully held, was well attended and enjoyed by all. We all had a wonderful time, didn't we? Now that we have enumerated the things we shall cherish in our memory, we can move on to our senior year, look- ing forward to successful year and loads of fun - - a step nearer to our goal, for now we have ascended -another rung in the educational ladder. j M K7 MM 7' H f ,uf-QL? age-,ml-' ,Civ 4- Mig Q 11 4 s 5? 5 f X3 rj 55 55 5 5 577 :jj Q??g Ti S -' W Q TW J Ly f ? seventy-thre SOPHOMORE CLASS President .....,.... .............,.,..............,.... ......,........

Never had a day gone by with- out some unusual or amusing occurence. We will never quite forget: 1. How we seemed to adapt ourselves more readily to our school activities than we did as Freshmen. 2. l-low well the following boys upheld us on the gridiron: Frank Brady, Albert Deltflarco, Anthony Drazenovitch. Bob Kos- loslcy, William Parulis. Winfield Sausan- avage, and Robert Ulmer. 3. That Frank Brady, Albert DeMarco. Robert Koslosky, William lvlcAlarnes, Ed- ward Qswald, William Pdrulis. Charles Sanlrus, Ben Starinslry, Winfield Sausan- avage' displayed agility on the basketball COl1Tl. 4. The Fridays spent in the gym where we look part in delightful evenings of dancing. 5. The school was kept well informed of the activities of our class by Florence Barbae, Dorothy Dando, Arthur DiNicola, Norman Lambert, Betty Phelan, Gwendo- lyn Radzievtch, Anne liizzardl, and Ther- esa Sakalusky who were chosen as mis- cellaneous reporters on the White and Blue Stall. 6. The many after-four sessions of Bi- ology. which were the aftermath oi - e Are explanations necessary? 80V0l'lllY'BlX 7. I-low well our Sophomores portrayed their roles in the class programs. 8. Elections which were held in early September were evenly divided between both sexes. The class officers were as follows: President ............ Albert Deltflarce ' Vice President ........ Roy Colthan Secretary .... Gwendolyn Radztevich Treasurer .... Mary Wallacavage 9. Tablets iustseemed to disappear as lf by magic, the said cause being .too muah homework, but we wonder - - how about notes???? 10. How we enioyed the amusing pre- views of a most entertaining and pleasant card party. ll. How 1013 mourned the three day ab- sense of half the algebra class. f And how happy we were to be together againll 12. Those heart-breaking exams which usually resulted in quite a few downcast faces when report cards were issued. 13. Being a large class quite a few of us became interested in the iteld oi music and joined the glee club and band, under the able direction of Miss Giant and lvfr. Tremitiere. As this year comes to a close we loolr forward to our junior year together with high hopes. L I n- 1 n r .fa WY N Na Q 5 , Wx g' 'Wuu ,Hsgg'SxSQ?f 3 A NA A qs I 45's I QMS f vi W -1 1 21114 1 ini.

We admit that we made some mistakes, but we we feel that we have made the proper adjustmertts and were good l?l freshmen. Our election of officers was a little late, but we finally got around to it. The following were elected: President .........,,,.. ..... H onald Iames Vice President .....,.. ..,..... D onald Swartz Secretary ...,,...., ....... C ecelia Kopko Treasurer ,...... ...... A nna Mae Jones This year something new was started on the gridiron. The Freshmen had a team of their own, and played several games with neighboring towns. The following boys were out for football: Sandy Angelo, Tom Brennan, Vtfilliam Charles, William Conshue, Cletus Donlin, Albert Fliss, Ralph Grilltth, Wltlill-ard l-leckman, Ronald Iames, loseph Klem, Iack Martz, William Muldowney, Walter Nush, Carter Ryan, William Schenck, Donald Schwartz, Iohn Shilcusky, Bernard Stabinsky, Donald Stein, and Emil Sumadaka. Willard Heckman, Gilbert Lappen, and Donald Schwartz represented us on the basketball court. Participants in other organizations are as follows: White and Blue: Vivian lack and Rose Marie Ivesg Band: William Diehl, Edward Dolan, Ralph Griffith, Vtfillard Heckrnan, Ronald Iames, Vincent Purcell, lohn Shimsky, and Ruth Smith. The freshman programs this year were very much enjoyed. They were pre- sented by the freshman home rooms: 17, 18, 19 and 20. The Memorial Day program was given by the entire freshman class. This year started out as any other school year but, with the various activities and other enjoyable things, turned out to be better than we thought. We feel that this, our first year in Minersville High School, h-as given us a wealth of knowledge and experience that will help to make us better students in the next three years.

Since we live in cz democracy it is generally felt that the students should have some means by which they may express themselves on school problems. In the last few years the Student Council existed in name only, but we trust that the start made by the council this year will flourish and that the council next year will take on added responsibilities and will become an active organization.

We made our debut on the night of the Iunior High School commencement. We were uncertain at tirst, but as the evening wore on we began to gain more confidence in ourselves, and were very much at ease for the next performances, namely class night and high school commencement. For these two occasions, we were formally attired. .Before the pertormances, the girls gather in Room l to adjust their arm band and caps, the traditional at-tire ot each usher. The girls are divided into two groups by the captain. One group distributes the programs, while the other group does the active ushering. Their duties include: answering questions relative to the program, directing people to their seats, finding friends for late comets and other minor duties. When the ltights grow dim. we are rewarded for our work by enjoying an evening's performance. The following girls, under the supervision of Miss Glenwright, served as usher- ettes for the 1944-45 school term: lean Ann, Captain Theresa Stein Doris Dietz Bertha Strombosky Violet Dugan Mari' Tfoufman Lorraine Iefierson Mfirihd Weir Mary Kgsinski EliZOIb9ll'l. WyHOSkY Mary Schneider Victoria Yarosh Rita Scholato Gertrude Zimmerman eighty-tive ,, STAGE!-IAN DS Q BY VINCENT PGRRELLI A nervous tension comes over the players as ihey take their places on the stage, and a muffled whisper says Curtairr . Before all this can come about there are weeks of practice and in those weeks not only the players, but the stagehands are also groomed for their cues. The stagehancls are responsible for many things, among which are: stage effects, lights, curtain, and scenery. This year, supervised by Mr. Runciman and Mr. Wingaris, the crew consisted of Vince Letko, Alan Bott, and Vince Borrelli, who had the privilege of being teachers and supervrisolrs to Skipper ' Gauntlett, Charles Rinaldo and Albert DeMarCo who are recruits from the junior class. eighty-six l LIBRARY ASSISTAN TS BY THEHESA SAKALUSKY o When people talk about a library we usually think oi a dreary place crammed with books, the latest fiction of which dates back to 1920. But that's certainly not the case in our high school. It seems we have everything - - plus. Probably the first thing that attracted the students this year was all of the new, popular books. The reserve lists grew yards long until iinally they got so cumbersome that certain books just couldn'tt be reserved until after a fixed date. That wasn't alll Slowly the library itself began to take on homey features, such as colorful pictures of the season and green plants. lt was decided that it would be a good idea to move the display case which usually did get in our way when we were discussing the next football game or our latest heart throbs. Mrs. Murphy added the final touch with her efficient Library assistants, who went to great lengths to explain to the Prosh what makes the Library ticld . The senior library assistants are: Theresa Stein. Dolores Mattem, Bette Dukment, Amelia Mullock and Constance Seidler. eigmy-seven WHITE AND BLUE BY MARY RIZZARDI A few changes and added aitractionsf' and presto V - our paper gained lUU'75 support and cooperation this school term. One of the most noticeable additions was that of co-editor. Formerly a senior member of the start was elected as editor-in-chief and he had begin irom scratch, but to remedy this a younger co-editor was selected to prepare tor his future office. The main added attraction was the 'White cmd Blue Suggestion Box in study hall. Instant response showed us that our schoolmates were with us and we received a number of well-meant suggestions, plus complaints. Other interesting notables were the holiday -and sport cartoons, new mats for most ot the columns, and for the first time, an original comic strip was publishel. Also our exchange editor's work resulted in an interesting exchange column for the newspaper. As a whole our statt cooperated nicely and through their efforts the student body was provided with a goodly supply ot news throughout the year.

Rehearsal time provided not only cz time for the study ot music but also cr period ot recreation for its members. The orchestra can always be seen in the front ot the auditorium whenever there is a play or other entertainment. We are a faithful body and always on hand, under the capable supervison ot Mr. Tremitiere. When the seniors leave the orchestra, the underclassmen will take our places. We can depend on having a good orchestra for many years to come, due to the tact that Mr. T has a great list ot underclassmen on their way to take part in the orchestra. The seniors leaving this year are: Iohn DiSarro, Bette Dukment, Iohn Kozura, Connie Seidleir, Edith Truscott, and William Weiss. ninety-one GLEE CLUB 0 BY I UNE KOZURA We are now proud to present to you a group picture oi the M. H. S. Glee Club, one of the most popular organizations of the school. For the past iiiteen years it has been led by Miss Helen Giant. This stellar aggregation still flourishes today under her able tutelage. The work of this club is to pgrovide, lor the school and the townspeople, the music they like to hear, sung by their children and friends. lt has always been a great privilege for any Frosh to become a member of this organization. Every year some are selected, and so we see new laces among the group each semester. Along with the joy of having new members, we also have the sorrow of losing old faithful ones. This year our graduating members are: Elizabeth Dunkment, Carol McCloskey, Dolores Mattern, Beatrice Sankus, Iulia Nush, Catherine Savini, Nancy Stella, Loreta Nicolo, Gertrude Zimmerman and Mary Schneider. We hope that they will' always remember their glee club days as happy ones. This year we broadcasted a Christmas concert from the high school and participated in the Baccalaureate service. We also gave a spring concert and presented a vaude- ville. Plus many appearances in assembly on various programs, this is a brief review of our .activities this year. ninety-two ,,, ,, THE BAND BY CHARLES BARABAN The Minersviltle High School Band has been a thriving and active organization. lts fifty odd members composed of beginners and veterans, like the seniors who will leave us in '45, are all an important part of the band. We are sure that the seniors. who were always the instigators of the fun in the band, feel a touch of sorrow on realizing that they have to leave. We hope they will always remember the fun they had with their underclrissmen friends. We know we will never foraet them. On looking over the past year we can point with pride to the many activities the band was engaged in. Al football games the band contributed its share in raising the morale of the players and also providing entertainment lor the fans. At pep meetings the band was always there with a good, snappy march and the reliable bass drum to lead the cheers. When the oheefleaclers got tired of shouting, the band was always there to take over for a while. When the band is asked to play lor a parade or on a special program, lt is always there in full force, just raring to go, ninety-three , , ,, , ,,A E ON PARADE ! We can always look back on the fun we had at band practices and the fun in the instrumental music room. The queer noises thot come out of that room should not be taken too seriously. We were all beginners once, you know. Most of ull the seeniors can look back on the pleasure ond fun they had working with Mr. T . Mr. T can be credited with really knowing his music. He trys to pass his musical knowledge on to his instrumental music students and, in, most cases, succeeds. It is with regret thot we soy good-bye to the seniors who leave us this year. They ore: Al-an Bott, Ioe Brady, Tom Casserly, lohn DiSarro, Bette Dukrnent, lohn Kozura, Dolores Mattern, Paul Mower, Amelia Mullock, Loretto Nicolo, Constance Seicller, Thomas Tierney, Edith Truscott, ond William Weiss. We know they will watch the future progress of the band with interest. We hope we can continue to improve in the future os we have in the past and be a credit to Minersville High School in every- thing We do. ninety-f01u' .

In the earlier part of the football season the squad members shared their spare time with their director and trcniner, Leo Keller, who was teaching them how and when to operate. Active in all games regardless of weather conditions, they helped many football players off the field when their director realized that precaution was necessary. Mechanically, when the signal was given everyone was always ready for action, afll hands qoi in their position and headed for their prospective patllent. As they moved swiftly they had to remember that they must not jar their patient, they must raise and lower him with extreme care, and finally carry him off at a rate of speed that will be most convenient. After removing him to the sidelines the playerwas treated and made to rest. ninety-tive Scenes From The Senior Card Party 1 t5 -six -4 i JY 4.

QWWIIIIIIHKWMQIMM llfff ATI-I LETICM n t Football BY EDWARD LAMBERT The i944 football season introduced to Minersville a new coach, Mr. Ray Green, who wtlh the assistance of Mr Tel sport Putsavaqe, produced a lighting team which saw victories live times were defeated three times and were tied three times. Mr. Green, former Mt. Carmel Catholic mentor, proved himsell to be ct resourcelul and experienced coach. Vtfhen the call for practice was given. over sixty candidates reported, this belnq one of the largest turnouts in the schoo1's history. Oi the preceding year there were Delvlarco, Koster, Schenck, Freiler, Gauntlett and Tierney left with varsity experience. ' Coach Green Assistant Coach Putsavave The Squad Coach Green and Putsavaqe wasted litt.le aime in whipping together a teom which they considered ready for the lirsl game. Due to conflicting schedules we were unable to play St. Clair lor our openinq game, as was originally planned. McAdoo was secured for our open clate and that team put in her first appearance on Miners- ville's field, Due to the experience of McAcloo's players, and the fact that many of our boys were playing their lirst qcimo, Minersville was deieated 25-0. Although beaten. the boys showed promise ol developing a line team with a well balanced line and fast lnacklield. 'Ilh-e-Va 1' s i t y 11l1'l8lZY-11l2'1E Junior Varsity Against Cass, our next opponent, the boys were very much improved, with Fred Shenok being shifted from center to fullback. With a few other chcmges in the lineup Minelrsville rarnped over a strong Cass eleven, 19-U. With St. Clair as our next opponent the boys hit their stride, scoring three touch- downs in the first half, which proved too much for St. Cl-air, sending them down in defeat 20-0. Plyaying away for the first time, Minersvttlle turned in their best game of the season by holding a powerful, highly rated Coaldale team to a 7-7 tie. After a brilliant defensive qcxme on the part of the line during the first half, M. H.

Traveling to Ashland, the boys ground out a 12-U victory over a heavier Ashland team in a drench- inq rain, Kulprnont was the opponent for our best away game.

The I. V.'s, although not considered very im- portant, have played every game seriously. This year the boys with some experience have attained a remarkable record with cooperation and teamplay. The playing abilities of a smooth working combination of all players resulted in the success of the team and the loss of very few games. We hope to greet the Iunior Varsity as thelup-and-coming champions of the hard- wood in Schuylkill County. The boys who have made this record possible are as follows: Forwards: F. Brady, Deivlarco, Scmkus, Swartz, and Lappen. Centers: Parulis, Oswald and Sausanavaqe. Guards: Koslosky and McAlarney. hundred six GIRLS BASKETBALL BY RITA SCHOLATO AND KAY KLINE The call lor candidates lor the girls basketball team was enthusiastically received, and about lUO girls reported for try-outs lor the various class teams-. Seniors, juniors, sophomores, and freshman teams were finally s-elected, culminating in a tournament which wats won by the senior class team. The winning team receiving letters was composed of the following seniors: Captain Kay Kline, Lillian Murphy, Kitty Connelly, ,lean Anne, Mildred Kordish, Gert Zimmer- man, Doris Dietz, Peggy Zimmerman, Marie Yanulevich, Iulia Nush, Kathryn Tarask- avage, and Manager Rita Scholato.

The high lights of the season came during the last week of our season, when we met and defeated Branch Township by the score of 26-19. Another thrill came when we were invited to the Schuylkill County Girls Basketball Sports Day at Kutztown State Teachers College. We left Friday, stayed at the college overnight and Saturday played three games. We won one and considering the fact it was our first experience on a court other than our own, feel the season was highly successful. Thanks must be extended to Miss Alice lack for her generosity and cooperation in so ably officiating in most of the intramural games. hundred seven BOYS VARSITY BASKETBALL SCORES o Minersville ..,... .... 3 3 East Mahanoy Twp. ..i lvlinersville ,..... .... 2 G West Mahanoy Twp. .

But basically, there is much more to dramatlcs than that. These things are all vital factors in producing an impressive performance, but the acting itself is most important. Our faculty directors: have tried to guide the casts by .impressing upon them some of Shalcespeare's stage directions such as speak the speech trippingly on the tongue . In the beginning, they were invariably forgotten, but the necessity of obeying them was soon realized. Although an audience is primarily interested in relaxing and enjoying a good performance, one can hardly refrain from thinking of the earnest effort and stury given by students and teachers alike, in the preparation of a play. In rehearsing, lines are repeated again and again until the proper emphasis has been given-the best tone acquired. But the cast doesn't mind: it realizes that the success of the play depends largely upon its sincere cooperation. This is but one benefit derived through participa- tion in dramatics. Distinct speaking, the overcoming of stage Bright, and a host of other assets may be claimed through acting. The first of two public dramatic functions presented this year was somewhat diversified. Instead of the annual operetta, we presented a Variety Show. Perhaps there really is something in the old proverb variety is the spice of life , because M. l-I. S. fcertainly did display an abundance of talent. The novelty show was presented under the capable direction of Mrs. Murphy. Miss Glant, and Mrs. Ignatovig. Mrs. Murphy's Grasshopper was an appealing mock opera, while Mrs. lgnatovig's folk dances added more than a little color to the show, to say nothing of Miss Glant's inspiring musical selections. We are also indebted to Mr. Tremitiere for his entertaining orchestral selections. To date, there have been no definite plans made concerning the annual play. But if it is to be judged according to previous performances we may rest assured that the outcome will be an inevitable success. It seems too that our competent director, Miss Plunkett, is partial to mysteries, so possibly that may be the nature of this year's play. Dramatics is one of Minersville High School's most praise-worthy extra-curricular aativities. May it continue to functfion and bring entertainment to both students and public.

Mr. Murphy always has it. The stabilizing iniluence during our political debates. How 'many rulers do you wear out every year? She's so versatile that she can scold us in two languages, if she ever gets angry. When you see Miss Grabusky toddling up the hill you know the bell will ring any minute. For some strange reason Miss Lord doesn't,. like snakes, frogs or insects. We introduce a newcomer who introduced the sophomores to biology. Miss Wiest is our petite and piquant authority on America literature. Through his guidance Minersville had a basketball team to be proud oi. Practice makes perfect is Mrs. Atkinson's motto and we-'ve found it to be true. Miss Bariey is so forceful she has us believing what we read in her paper. She makes a very lucid physics explanation in a quiet manner. The expert on Pennsylvania history and x plus y. Her anecdotes tickle our funny bones and English becomes a song and story. Shefs one of the girls, always glad to participate in any event. Through his portals pass the greatest artists in M. H. S. When he makes a speech he gets results we discivered at pep meetings. A new and welcome addition to our history department. A constructionist and a strict one at that. As our treasurer she efficiently takes care of the school's purse strings. The efficient builder who finds nothing too much trouble. Our bandmaster who arranges such pleasant concerts for us. Miss Giant has seen us through many operettas anl concerts with her pep.

Dolores Mattern had a habit of carefully cleaning out her grandmothers bureau drawers and then throwing the contents around the room. Iulie Nush calmly ate her lunch at Miss Diener's desk while the rest of the iirst grade looked and drooled. . Mary Schneider barely missed a paddling in third grade.

Catherine Savini ran out of tirst grade and fell down the steps because the teach- er asked her her name. Alma Versavage thought a bank was something like the small box in their attic. In her early school days Victoria Yarosh sat on the Iloor and cried when she couldn't write on the blackboard. Agnes Rinkevege got stage struck and completely forgot her poem in second grade. loe Brady has had clothes problems. In tenth grade he came to school with two different shoes on -and later securely locked all his clothes in his locker. He had to go home in Mr. Boran's clothes. Nancy Stella ate lvory Soap one day. Her mouth began to swell- as though she had mumps. Actually the mumps held oft till her junior year.
