' Q!F5i??iIlEn5i5flB' THE ELEUSINIA A YEARBOOK ofthe SENIOR CLASS OF 1946 THE MINERSVILLE HIGH SCHCOL MINERSVILLE,PENNSYLVANIA THEME The soul of America is its continuing genius to weld the various, the many, into the oneness that is strength-be that oneness the spirit that builds a fighting force, an industrial might, or a scientific miracle. To be an American is to feel, above the splits and shocks of war and atoms, the green hope that a unity can come to cr world as it came to a continent. That hope, inherited from the indomitable men who shaped not only a nation but a way of life, may give at last to a frightened planet an American heritage. You are the buffalo-ghost, the broncho-ghost With dollar-silver in your saddle-horn, The cowboys riding in from Painted Post, The Indian arrow in the Indian corn. And you are the clipped velvet of the lawns Where Shropshire grows from Massachusetts sods, The grey Maine rocks--and the war-painted dawns That break above the Garden ot the Gods. The prairie-schooners crawling toward the ore And the cheap car, parked by the station door. Where the skyscrapers liit their foggy plumes Of stranded smoke out of a stony mouth. You are that high stone and its arrogant fumes, And you are ruined gardens in the South. And bleak New England farms, so winter-white Even their roofs look lonely, and the deep The middle grainland where the wind of night Is like all blind earth sighing in her sleep. All these you are, and each is partly you, And none is false, and none is wholly true. From IOHN BROWN'S BODY By Stephen Vincent Benet three DEDICATION DR. THOMAS I.

She is industrious and spends her tree time in school finishing her horne- worlc. She hardly ever carries a book home from school. Margie is a commer- cial student. Shorthand seems to be her chief worry, but she usually sails through typing with the greatest of ease. Marge is prompt for school and never needs to bother about tardy cards. She has a pleasant disposition and laughs easily. She is seldom out of jokes and can keep her group oi close friends well entertained. Marge is the athletic type of girl and excels in all sports. We haven't heard just what her am- bition is, but we wish her the best. t weuty-two DOROTHY BARBACOVI up cc Card Party Committee till.

For all her shortness. however, she can contrihute her share of giggles and talk to any gathering. Sho tives at the lower end oi town and you can always see Dot and Mary hurrying to school. They always manage to get here on time. Dot has a great love for chewing gum and is seldom seen without it. She is also fond of dancing. ln health class she is an asset to any team. She plays a good game of volleyball or basketball. Dot also has an interest in the library. Her free periods are spent liere, acting as a library assistant. Dorothy is a commercial student. She has good speed in typing and succeeds in passing all her tests. We're confident Dot will be tops in whatever she under- takes. CLAIRE C. BERNOSKY inc Glee Club 1ll 12l 133.

D7 C1 Sweet is the word that best describes Claire. She is the first of the set of twins to appear in our class yearbook. Claire and her twin sister, Rita, are inseparable. When they first came to our school, teach- ers as well as students were confused in trying to tell them apart. They are iden- tical, The Bernosky twins like to sing together. They often entertained us on assembly programs. They appeared in our Variety and Minstrel Shows and the public en- ioyed them as much as we did. Claire is the alto part of the singing duet. She also is the artist and her drawings are really something to see. Claire took the commercial course. At- ter graduation she would like to go to the city and work in an office.

The twins can always be seen walking to school with their friends from New Minersville. lt the weather is ugly, they carry their lunch. Rita likes to joke, and she often tells about some funny experience she had. She cooperates and can be depended upon to do whatever she is asked. She and Claire are active MacArthur Club assist- ants. lf there is any dancing to be done in health class, Rita can usually lead and demonstrate. Rita and her sister tap-dance together. Everyone will remember their Dutch number in the Variety Show. Rita took the commercial course and she, too, wants to continue in this line. twenty-tlirm: i JOHN F.

Bickel came to our school from Annville in his sophomore year. lt wasn't long until he became accustomed to M. H. S. He is one of the brighter academic students. l-le is always up to the minute on his class- work and his name always appears on the honor roll. Bickel has his own car. He and the gang are usually tampering with it or decorating it for a game. He believes in sharing his car and it is always packed. One of Iohn's pet pastimes is bowling. From what we've heard, he can really roll up the old score. Iohn intends to go to college. We don't know exactly what he expects to be, but we are sure that he'll be a great success.

Home Room Program D K Here is a sweet and quiet member of our class. She never is too busy to lend a helping hand or to sympathize with someone. She is constantly seen with Anna and her cousin, Stella. Lauretta took the academic course. She is a conscientious worker and careful about her school work. Lauretta is athletically inclined. She plays a mean game of basketball and whoever is guarded by Lauretta is well- ouarded. She likes to dance and goes to the Globe frequently. A lot of her spare time is spent at the live. Whatever Lauretta's plans are for the future, we feel that she will be successful and well-liked by her coeworlcrs. l m. RAYMOND G.

DD K Ray appears to be a shy and quiet lad, but he can do his share of talking and has quite a bit to say in chem class especially. Ray seldom talks about him- self, however, so not too much is known about him. He is carefree and never is upset about anything. l.-le is a familiar person about the high school because of frequent trips after attendance slips. Ray was on the picture committee for the yearbook. He also was a member of the first-aid squad. At all times, Ray was on hand to aid injured players. Ray's future seems to be a secret, but we do know that he's spent some time working on a truck. Whatever his plans are, the class of '46 wishes him well. STELLA C.

D K Stella is the third member of the Bren- nan clan. She is friendly and wellrliked by her classmates. Although Stella is pri- marily quiet, if it comes to an argument she can ably support her views. She pre- sents a neat appearance and always has her hair attractively arranged. Stella spends a lot of her leisure time at the Iive. Saturday night finds her danc- ing at the Globe. She likes to hike and go to the movies. She is a loyal rooter for our team and school. Stella took the academic course. She's a good and energetic worker. During her school years, she held a job in a local store for some time. We aren't sure just what her plans are for the future, but she has hinted that her interest lies in the nursing profession. twenty-tivo STANLEY I. BRUZDA 77 44 Card Party Committee 4, Salvage Commit- tee lil, Home Room Program ill. D K Here is a rather tall member of our class who never has much to say. Even though he is the quiet type, it doesn't mean he isn't a good fellow to know. l-le's a good friend ot everyone. Maybe he is so quiet because he believes in the saying speak when spoken to. He might even believe he can stay out of trouble in this way. You may often see Stanley and Ed to- gether coming to school, or walking around on pleasure and business trips. Stanley works at Stan Graf's Service Station and Garage on Westwood Street. You will see him there after school and on Saturdays and Sundays. He tells us he is going to stick to this job after gradu- ation. Whether he intends to be a me- chanic or mechanics helper or just an at- tendant we don't know. But he will surely succeed in Whatever he decides on. twenty-six ANNA I. CALDERONE :Nc Basketball l3i 143, Card Party Committee 643, March of Dimes Committee C27 C37 C47, Home Room Program C23 l4l, Victory Corps ill. but This dark-haired miss hails from Room 7. Anna is quiet and never is a bother to her teachers. She is a commercial student and typing is her chief concern. Anna works hard and spends a good deal of her time doing homework. She also helps with the housework and so is kept quite busy. Anna likes sports. She is one of our best basketball players and made the varsity team in her junior year. When girls are being picked for volleyball teams, Anna is one of the first selected. Her ability in this line makes many envy her. One oi her pet pastimes is going to the movies, and she never likes to miss a good feature. Whatever .Anna's future holds for her. our class extends its best wishes to a good friend. l i VINCENT P. CITRULLO D K Football C3l. xx cc Here we have quite a fine young gen- tleman. Vince is that fellow with the build which helps to raise the average weight of the football squad. Even though he has those pounds in excess of two hun' dred, he gets around plenty fast. He played football for four years of his high school life. Vince can be seen driving around in his father's big black Buick much of the time. He often hangsl around Soponis' with his brother and the rest of the gang, keeping in their merry conversations with his many lively ideas. You may also see him spending much of his time down at Stan Graf's Service Station. He's down there learning as much about a car as he can, because, as he tells us, in the future, he wants to be an airplane or motorcycle mechanic. Vince will probably succeed because he seems to want to do this type of work. He is already getting booklets on schools for such work. We wish him luck, EDWARD L.

Here is a fine fellow to know, for Ed is quite a leader. In his junior year he did a fine job as our class president, and worked hard to make the gym have a strangely dressed-up appearance. He is also the very capable business manager of the White and Blue. ln his sophomore year he did a good job of acting as a chauffeur in the annual play. He has that progressive spirit and stick-to-it-tiveness which is needed to make a good fellow. Ed is not only a fine young man but is quite a good student in school. He is a common everyday person with practical ideas and constant good humor. Ed can be seen at the Globe working every Wednesday and Saturday night, and every other night that there is a dance there. Many of the nights that there are no dances he is there cleaning up or help- ing to decorate for some special occasion. He tells us he is a little undecided about his future, but he things he might enter Penn State College. We are quite sure his efforts in whatever he undertakes will not be wasted. twel1t.y-si-vt-ii ! ,,,, ... l t lOHN CREMO ll cc Special Program 4, Home Room Program f4l, Operetta t2l, Salvage Committee ill. 57 K Iohn is one of the most cheerful members of our class, and he seems to enjoy this honor. He is quite a good student and a fine fellow to know because he is a good ioker and has the traits of a gentleman. Cremo will be seen working at Radzie- vich Brother's Economy Food Store. He works there after school and on Saturdays. He tells us while on the job he takes a great interest in butchering and has learned quite a bit about the trade. He hopes to keep on working at Radzievich Brothers at his butchering job, which he hopes to learn thoroughly. Iohn is one of the few members of our class who belong to the Civil Air Patrol. Every Wednesday night about six-thirty he and Stevy are waiting for the bus to Pottsville to attend the weekly meeting. They can be identified by their uniforms. He is another one of the gang down at Pete Zaharis'. Even though he doesn't have much to say in school, he is often the life of the party down at Pete's. Good luck.

She is taking the general course, and is one of our few six-subject students. You will often see Yolie walking with lane in much of her spare time. She is another one of that merry old gang down at Bea's. After s5hool she may often be seen taking care of the shoe repair shop while her dad relaxes a little. Yolie was another one of the Room 7 students who helped to make its pro- gram a success. She is a very capable reporter of the White and Blue staff. She is also a member of the editorial staff of the Eleusinia. Yolie tells us she is a little undecided about what she will do in future years. but whatever she chooses we are sure she will do well. c t PATRICK I. DAVIE :Mc lltotltalt 123 Ml, by 44 We now bring to you one of those tall, handsome lady killers of our class. Pat is a commercial student. He is also a happy-go-lucky, carefree fellow and quite a good joker. ln school Pat never has too much to say. He seems to save his energy for his doings after school and at night. ln his spare-time, on days off, and dur- ing the summer vacation, you can see Pat working with the crew of painters who work for McAlonis' painters and interior decorators. You will often see Pat with the rest of the gang of regular fellows down at lack Balsis' Pool Room. l-le is often seen engaged in a game of .pool or one of those friendly conversations down there. Much of the time he is driving around in his black Chevrolet. ' Pat tells us he is a little undecided about his future. When he makes up his mind, we wish him success. l l W IOSEPH DOMLESKY xi cc Operetta CBJ, Prom Committee 637, Card Party Committee Ml, Home Room Program ill fill.

He has energy and more energy, with plenty left over, He could, if at all necessary, supply it for a young dynamo. Ioe, who has a well-groomed crop of blond hair which calls forth much admir- ation, is often seen down at Bea's with Bill, George and Butter. He is very often the center of interest in those conversa- tions down there. If he is not down town he may often be at home, lending a help- ing hand to his father. l-'le is one of those hard-fighting, hard- playing good sports of the health classes. He gets that frame of his around rather fast, even though it sometimes is in the Packard or Plymouth which he drives. Ioe's high laughs can he heard coming from many a classroom, for he is a pleas- ant, good-natured fellow. Ioe tells us that in the future he intends lo be a pilot. What he is going to pilot We do not know, but he will surely make the grade and have his wish if he uses his ahility thoroughly. twenty-nimt 1 i LOIS E.

Lois is usually ready with a good ioke, and can talk just as much as most of her neighbors in Room 7. Her favorite pastimes are ice-skating and swimming, and cooking in Home Econ- omics classt?l. She can be found cheering loudly at all football and basketball games. Lois also has a great interest in scouting and takes an active part in all Girl Scout programs. Lois pals around with Ioan, and in the evenings can usually be found at Bea's with the rest of the high school crowd. Lois intends to make nursing her career, and we're sure she will be a successful woman in white. thirty i GEORGE W.

You never see him worrying over school work, although his name can usually be seen on the honor roll. Since he is the proud owner of a car, George can usually be seen riding back and forth to school, or racing about town with Butter and Ioe. George finds that his car comes in handy for away games, since he is quite a football fan. George is also an expert bowler, and a member of the bowling team. His eve- nings are usually spent with the gang at Bea's. George's good humor and pleasing ways have won him many friends. We wish you good luck in future years, George. IOHN A. FLYNN inc Jack is one of the official artists of M. H. S. Much of his work can be found in the art room, decorating Room 7, or backstage.

We are all going to miss him and we wish him the best of luck. STANLEY MICHALSK1 up ct Student Council f3J, Football ill C23 137, Basketball fll f2J f3l, Operetta fll f21, F. 1.. C. f2l f3l. bb cc Stanley left Minersville High School to join the U. S. Navy in Iune, 1943. He was discharged from Bainbridge, Maryland, on the twentieth of December, 1945, and re- turned to school in Ianuary to graduate with the class of '46. The interim from 1943 to 1946 was one of varied experi- ences. He received his boot training and then was sent to Norfolk, Virginia, for gunnery training. Soon he was back in New York to hoard his first ship. His initial trip was 'o Texas, then South America and finally overseas to England. He crossed the At' lrvntic five times. A collision with another ship on February 12, 1944, resulted in loss of life and the ship. Stanley escaped with minor burns. On being reassigned to a new ship he participated in the invasion of France and was in the second convoy to enter Bel- qium. He was then assigned to the Pa- cific and served at the Hawaiian Islands, the Philippines, and Okinawa. Once more .n school, Stanley's comment on foreign parts is, They can have it. 1'm glad to be home. 1 JOSEPH FRANCIS FORAN 73 ff loe was inducted into the United States Army in lune, 1945.

Yes, next year will find us seniors and we believe we have acquired more confidence, know- ledge, and responsibility. Our junior year has not been lacking in events and we find many things to keep in our memory books which will some day recall our good old junior days. l, We began our junior year with the newly acquired feeling that we were now upperclassmen, although the time elapsed since we were young freshies seemed to be very brief. 2. Early in the year the following were elected to serve as class officers: President .......... Roy Colihan Vice President ...... Anne Dowd Secretary ....,. Florence Barbas Treasurer ........ Anne Rizzardi 3. Many boys took part in sport ac- tivities. tal We were wellrrepresented on the gridiron with the following boys taking an active part: Frank Berefsky, john Blu- vas, Frank Brady, Edward Comakoski, Al- bert Christy, Albert DeMarco, Anthony Drazenovitch, joe. Grigalonis, Bob Koslos- ky, Dan Kozlov, Bill McAlarnes, Ed Os- wald, Bill Parulis, Win Sausanavage, Ben Starinsky, Iohn Walker, Bob Weir, Bill Zeiler. tbl The following showed their skill on the basketball court: Frank Brady, Albert DeMarco, Bob Koslosky, Bill Koslosky, Bill Parulis, Harold Murphy, Charles Scmkus. Win Sausanavage, and Torn Hill. 4. The pep meetings showed a great deal of enthusiasm and school spirit. Flor- ence Barbas and Mary Ann Kareskie were eighty-f0ur DK junior cheerleaders who did a fine job in the cheering section. 5. Home room programs and special as- semblies brought out the talent found in the midst of the junior class. Weren't we cll surprised to hear Harold Thomas :toon just like Frankie ? 6. Socials, sponsored by our class, were successful and Well attended. They were enjoyed very much by the student body. 7. We were pursued by seniors who were determined to make their card party a success and we did find it to be an enjoyable affair. 8. juniors showed interest and coopera- tion in such organizations as the glee club, White and Blue, and the band. 9. Under the able direction of Miss Narkiewicz, junior girls played many in- tramural basketball games and always had a lot of fun doing so. 10. Some of the new teachers we were introduced to were Miss Narkiewicz, Mrs. Ouandel, Mr. Miller, Mr. Sobolesky, Miss Knapp, and Mr. Duffy. ll. We were shown quite a number of movies, some being very entertaining and others having educational backgrounds. Since they meant the omission of a period we anxiously awaited their coming. 12. Our untiring efforts to make the prom a splendid occasion were not in vain, because they resulted in an affair which was successfully held and much enjoyed by all who attended. Having listed the high spots of the year and firmly believing ft to have been suc- cessful, we may proceed to the senior class with hopes that it too will bring new joys and pleasures upon us. 4 1 w 16 I ,Q W ,nw X ff w ww Q, , f f ff . , pf xxXW:TgNf 9 ' f -'fl7 x Q'3'A Ui?-:-' - .

H. S. in September of '45, We began our brilliant careers as sophisticated soph- omores with a firm determination to grasp all of the knowledge that M. H. S. could offer. Among our list of fond recollections, these will be most prominent: l. Naturally our first day as sophomores -September 5, 1945. We were as scared as the freshmen, and maybe more so, be- cause we knew that they were watching us and that we were expected to set an example. 2. The sophomores on the student coun- cil were: Ronald Iames, Donald Swartz, and lames Kandrat. 3. The White and Blue staff included Nancy Eiler, Rose Marie lves, Vivian lack and Helene Mitsky. 4. In the orchestra We were represented by Rose Marie Ives, the pianist. 5. The boys who represented us on the gridiron were: Sandy Angelo, Bill Heck- man, Edwin Conville, Amiel Danko, Bill Conshue, Buddy Iones, Iames Kandrat, Ralph Griffith, Ronald Iames, Carter Ryan, Bill Muldowney, Sam Pasco, Walter Nush, loe Wallacavage, Raymond Melusky, Emil Sumadaka, Bill Schenck, loe Tracey, Don- ald Stein, lohn Shilcusky, Donald Swartz, Emil Rizzi, and managers lack George and Andrew Wartella. 6. The sophomores in the band included Bill Heckman, Ralph Griffith, Vincent Pur- cell, Ronald Iames, Bill Diehl, Iohn Shil- cusky and Rose Marie Ives. 7. The following sophomore girls rep- resent us in the glee club: Ann Iones, Mur- eighty-eight D CC iel Smythe, Vivian lack, Helene Mitsky, Dolores Nichael, and Regina Mazzoli. 8. Our representatives on the basketball team were Bill Muldowney, Bill Heckman, Edward Dolan, Ronald Iames, Emil Sum- adaka, Donald Swartz, Fred Renninger, Bill Schenck, and manager Ralph Griffith. 9. Our class officers were: President ........ Donald Swartz Vice President ..... Donald Stein Secretary ........ Cecelia Kopko Treasurer ..... Raymond Melusky 10. Will we ever forget the famous triangle: Mr. Balitas, Vivian and Wi1lie ? 11. Room 16 gave a wonderful home- room program. Do you remember the Fashion Show? 12. The Lady of the Lake and Iulius Caesar are always getting lost. Why don't those two buy a traveler's guide? 13. Christmas and New Year holidays. This is the first peacetime Christmas that we have had in four years, and obviously everyone will enjoy themselves. 14. Our class had charge of the Wash- ington-Lincoln program. 15. Mid-terms and more exams. Don't be discouraged, we're half-way through, some kind soul remarked. 16. The High School Commencement: Here we see many of our friends ready to face the world and its problems. As a class, we realize that as we ad- vance the way will become more difficult and the problems more intriguing. How- ever, we will continue to work toward our goal which is-being future leaders in a better world for better citizens. u ii: S ii FESH E - 1 vipfhly-nin President ....

Neither did they have a great possibility of entering high school. So you can easily imagine why we were so anxious for the day to come when we would gradu- ate from Iunior High School. On our first day in high school we found many boys and girls from other schools. who would be in our class and we soon discovered what wonderful friends they made. During the first two weeks of school, while we were getting acquainted with the new teachers and different surroundings, we soon learned not to leave things lying around, for many of us soon found out from experience that upper classmen have a way of correcting this mistake. Most of us have contributed greatly to different organizations. Some freshmen belong to the band, others to the Blue and White staffg some prefer sports, in which certain individuals have starredp and still others have taken part in home room activities and other productions around the school. The home room representatives for the past year have been as follows: Room 18- Bill Casserlyg Room 19-Bernard MCC-ioverng Room 20--lack Ridge. Late in November we elected our class officers, and we feel as if we couldn't have chosen better ones. President ..... .. George Vernosky Vice President . .. ...... Iames Ulmer Secretary ..... . . . Margaret Mitchell Treasurer . . , . . . Anna Macario We all think that in this past year we have lived up to the standards of M. H.

Ieanette 'Tropp nim-ty-six USHERS By Rosie MARY WEDRO 77 K Every girl near the end of her junior year patiently awaits the announcement which might bear her name as one of the lucky fourteen. Yes, we girls certainly did consider ourselves lucky when our names appeared on the announcement. We made our debut at the junior high school commencement and then the Bac, calaureate exercises which followed. The ushers next had the opportunity of perform- ing their duties in formal attire at our Class Day and Commencement exercises. Our first night on the floor was quite a novelty to us. After this first occasion we began to feel more at ease and tried to be as efficient as possible in making ourselves pleasant and cordial hostesses to all who attend our school activities. The supervisor of the ushers selects the ushers and their captain. This year Yolanda Dalessandro who chosen to be the captain. The following girls served as usherettes for the 194546 school term, under the supervision of Miss Glenwright: Yolanda Dalessandro, captain, Georgine Gabardi, Mary Macario, Helen Michalski, Pearl Polinsky, Mary lane Poppich, Florence Pukas, Mary Ftizzardi, Reatha Strange, Helen Thompson, Rose Mary Wedro, Dayne Willianis, Karleen Yanulevich, and Elizabeth Zalesky. ninety-ss-von -, ,, ,, WHITE AND BLUE By ARTHUR DiNICOLA D K The staff and advisers oi the l1Vhite and Blue can look back with pride at their accomplishments and success with the student publication this past year. Instead of the usual airy promises concerning the number oi issues you received results, your full six issues. They were all well written and right on schedule. This year saw the return of glossy stock twhich does improve the appearance of the paperl and also an enlarged sheet. The column headings were diiferent, decorative, and more pleasing in appearance. Photographs were printed for the first time in years. Stu- dent contributions and criticisms, made available by the Mail Box in study hall, were printed, giving everyone a chance to have his say. Besides all these improvements which could be noticed by the subscribers, were the numerous changes brought about within the staff and the printing ot the paper. The last minute rushing, writing and typing were avoided. All assignments were checked, typed, recheclced and ready before the deadline. The 194546 staff members were as follows: Editorein-Chiel . . . . . . Mary Rizzardi Co-Editor ...... . . . Arthur DiNicola Feature Editor .... Betty Rolinitis Exchange Editor .. .................

There is nothing more exciting to a cheerleader than a football game. Then comes the chance to show her energetic ability. Sometimes it seems as if her throat might be injured but that doesn't stop her. To cheer and keep the morale high is her only thought. Hold that line. C'mon, get him, and Yeah! A touchdown! are the most familiar yells during the plays. With the help of the student body, we've been able to make our cheering section a success at both pep meetings and games. This year we fortunately were able to attend the away games also. Not only football, but basketball games as well, find us on the job. Shedding our blue jackets, due to the heat, we try to keep the spirits of our basketball stars up, too. A few of the cheers had to be changed, but at our practices we fixed them up. We wish to thank Mr. Purcell, our faculty adviser, for being so patient with us. This year we reluctantly lose our captain, lane Iones, and co-captain, Georgine Gabarcli. With their leadership we've been a success and were more organized than past years. Members of this year's squad were: Captains lane Iones and Georgine Gabardi, Florence- Barbas, Mary Anne Kareskie, Margaret' Mitchell, and Frances Yanuleviclt. Ynllli'lfY-Itllll' MAIORETTES By DOLORES BURCHECK 57 Ci An eventful and successful year was enjoyed by the majorettes. Our purpose was to the lead the band, and proud we were to have the task bestowed upon us. Mr. Tremitiere was our director, and his faith and patience led us to our goal, and made us worthy of the many compliments we were given. Much time was spent practicing in order to perfect the routines we would perform on the field. The practices proved to be tiring at times, but we usually managed to work out a new routine. Every one contributed his ideas to this. We were not as flawless as we would have liked to have been, but progress encouraged us. Last year the girls received new blue and white uniforms. This year more color and snap was added to the uniforms in the form ot White boot tops, which the girls appreciated greatly. The group which made up the sextette for this year were Dolores Baran, Blanche Frye, Bette Kriston, Gloria Luchcnin, Rose Yannacone, and Head Majorette Dolores Burchick. Oi this group Ioan Warner and Blanche Frye join the M. H. S. alurnnae in Iune. one hundred l l ORCHESTRA by f'HAl?l-ES SANKUS na Our organization may ronsist of a small group, but when we get toqothor cvvery Monday you can tell that the instrumental music room is not completely soundproolf' We can he found in the musif' room most any Monday or, if the occasion rails lor :t on -1 Tuesday, Under the atle leadership of Mr. Treuutiere CML T. to most ol us? we have gtlayfwt a great deal ot mrstc' beyond the range of a hiah school orchestra ltko outs. Duo mostly to Mr. T 's untirinq efforts, we have been able to play effectively for many ol the high sChool's dramatic artivities. During practice, you may often hear an outburst of laughter, which is due to a Joke told by someone or some past escapade brought up by Mr. T. There is a great deal of fun in playing at a practice like ours, because it is not all work but a little bit of play interwoven with every few numbers. Our orchestra had some new additions when we acquired the new Fronuh horn and several other instruments. Only two members will be lost throuqh graduation. They are Ethel Rowlands and Gerald Rothacker. l'lllllfll'i'fl mn- GLEE CLUB By CHARLES RINALDO xv cc The officers ol the Glee Club this year were as follows: President ..... ..

Perhaps you wonder if we do any work at all. Yes, we do our work, but there is many a good time mixed in. Under the excellent supervision of this year's staqe directors, Mr. Runcfi- man and Mr. Winqaris, the staqe has always been ready for any activity. All home room programs, lyceums, plays, and movies require a qood deal ot lalmur from this qroup which consists of: l. the three senior veterans: Skip, small in szature but who qives the orders, Spike, the wittiest of the crewp Charley, our contribution to the student bobby-soxers. 2. the obedient iuniors: Draz, our greatl?J truck driver, Bill and Frank, the poor fellas who get the tail end of all the jokes. Although in time we will be separated, the friendships we have cultivated back' staqe will live on. humlrcd thrvt- LIBRARY ASSISTANTS By THERESA SERUSKIE 3511 One oi the busiest corners of the high school is the library.

The library is well taken care of by the library assistants, under the careful super- vision of Mrs. Murphy. Only sophomore, junior and senior girls are eligible to volun- teer for this work. One of the most important duties of these girls is to help fellow students in locating books. Some oi their other duties consist oi stamping or checking incoming and out' going books, classifying new books, typing and straightening the files. Another duty of the library assistants is to pin up colorful pictures to lit the season. This has added many a cheerful aspect to the library. The senior library assistants are Florence Pukas, Mary Rizzardi, Dorothy Barba- coyi, Alice Wolfe, Marjorie Snyder, Ruth Scholato, Bernice Radzievich, Mary Walkusky. Betty Rolinitis, Ioyce Iones, Anna Sobolesky, Anna Miravich, and Theresa Seruskie. lilimtrml four' BAND By M1113 IONES 55 K VVQ arc- proud to piusrg-iii mm- 'ni om most fJl1lSiGFltllI1VJ OIt.jlIfllZfIl10HS tlif' M2111-1:1 ville High School Band. lt ropresonts Dvfry Class in thrr high school in its swim- Iilty rrioirilmrs plus some ambitious iiiiisivicns from the qrados, besides.

VOLKAY DK The first aid squad, commonly called the stretcher bearers by the student body. was made up of the followinq volunteers: Raymond Brennan, Lawrence Brentari, Thomas Hoban, Donald Taylor and Gregory Volkay. The squad was on hand at all varsity and junior varsity games and was prepared to qo into action whenever necessary. Besides assisting injured players oft the field, the squad was equally busy con- ditioning them before the qame, as well as taking care of pains and aches after every qruelling contest. This season marked the second under the leadership oi First Aid Director Leo Keller, and the smoothness with which the squad operated attested to the tireless efforts ot Mr. Keller. hundred seven SCENES ERQM THE . . . .

Faced with a qruelling ten game schedule, our team tasted the fruits of victory on seven ot these occasions and were defeated in the other three engagements. i humlred len Asst. Coach Sobolesky 1 N, 2 r f t Coach Ray Green Helping Coach Miller l tb THE SQUAD Practice sessions were started two weeks before school opened, and the initial call produced some sixty candidates. In this list of hopefuls were seven starting varsity men and twelve who had seen action last year. These men were: Kaster, DeMarco, Yuhas, Szerba, Gauntlett, Parulis, Koslosky and Scholato, The team, employinq a new system, the intricate T formation, lifted the curtain on the 1945 season by playinq host to Cass Township. This qame found Metro Szorba, a burly tackle of last year, beinq shifted to the all important fullback slot by Mr. Green and Company, Cass teamed up with the weather man this game and even their vom- bined efforts failed to stop us as we splashed to a 2lfO opening victory. THE VARSITY llllllllfvll 1-I.-vi-In SENIORS Saint Clair came into Camp the following week and were hammered into submission hy a 19-O score. The team was now starting to show its potential power. One week hence loomed our biggest game of the season. As yet, we had not hit our stride and it was hard for us to play this game so early in the season. All told, however, we were pushed from the unbeaten ranks, by a classy Coaldale team, to the tune of l6-O. Managers: Flynn, Kline, George, Brentari, Wartella, Kulcta, Lambert, Nush Iilimlm-it twvlvm- Mahanoy City was the next invader and the Battlin' Miners, still smarting from the Coaldale loss, took it out on the hapless Maroons with a 33-0 drubbing, October 12 was an open night. Resuming action the following week, we entertained Ashland High and we proved ourselves to be very poor hosts, for Ashland was sent ,home with a 24-2 lacing. This proved to be the last game played by one of our starting seniors, lor Buddy Harvey was lost by an injury which prevented his return to the lineup. Enthusiasm was high for our next game, and no wonder, for the winner of this game would take over the Conference lead. It was in this Contest that our line came in for the lion's share oi the glory by outplaying Kulpmont's line for the entire first half and even the remainder of the game. Three times Kulpmont's vaunted running attack was stopped inside of our ten yard line before hundred thirtee-n Yuhas Kastor Rinaldo and Yancavagn the Wildcats managed to push one over and lead 6-O at halt time. Capitalizing two more breaks, the second hall Kulpmont earned themselves a 20-O victory and Conference lead. on the The following week we played our initial away game and also our first game in Allentown Central Catholics stronghold. The game was played in a bowl oi which eliminated passes and trick plays and made visibility poor. By virtue of interception on Allentown's port, they led 6-O at halt tinie. Our effort to tie up game was thwarted when a run deep into the Vikings territory was recalled for ottside penalty. After that we lost heart and the game liy a final score of 12-O. litmtlrocl fmlrlmm iog an the an 9 iQ CN THE FIELD The annual Turkey Day clash brought the season to a close. We rolled over a scrappy Blythe eleven, 20-6. This game marked the last appearance of M. H. S.'s gridiron for the following lettermen: Mike Yuhas, Skip Gauntlett, Bob Kaster, Buddy Harvey, Metro Szerba, Len Scholato, Al DeMarco, Ed Yancavage, Charles Rinaldo and George Sutcavage. With a wealth of material returning next year and a few good boys coming up from the sophomore and freshman classes the grid outlook seems bright. Returning home after two losses in a row, our team had a reversal of form and they looked like a team of champions as they hammered a good West Mahanoy Township team, 38-O. Hitting the road for our second away game of the season, we returned with our most cherished victory of the season, the conquering oi Shenandoah, 6-2. This was the first time a Minersville team turned the trick since l934. This game was salvaged when Metro Szerba overcame a 2-O halftime deficit with a beautiful 85 yard touch- down jaunt, aided by good blocking. hundred sixteen THANKSGIVING DAY SHOTS Mmersville .,.. humlrcd Q-iulnlw-n FGOTEALL SCORES 1945 yu 41 .

There are many reasons for its importance, and paramount among them is the training it affords every participant. Fun at rehearsals, a sense of wholehearted cooperation in the preparation of the show, and the excitement oi the first matinee make the stage the popular thing it is with students.. The Variety Show was such a huge success last year that it was natural this year to present the Varieties of 1946. The abundance of talent in the high school was gathered up and given to the public in a real all-star cast. This year the show was directed by Mrs. Murphy, Miss Glant, Miss Narkiewicz and Mr. Tremitiere. Mrs. Murphy was in charge of all speaking parts, skits and finale: Miss Glant, the choral work and the sextetteg Miss Narkiewicz, the turnblers and dancers: Mr. Tremitiere, the orchestra. All in all, it was truly a night of fun and frolic. To date, there have been no deiinite plans made concerning the annual play. In past years the annual play has been an event welcomed with enthusiasm by students and public, and it promises to be the same success this spring. Although only our major productions have been mentioned so far, almost every week some fifteen or twenty students get real stage experience on home room programs. Yes, dramatics is an important activity in our high school. May it continue as an attractive and beneficial feature of high school life.

This word was music to our ears as we, the class of '46, reached the final peak of our high school career. Though we may appear happy and carefree, we become a little nostalgic as we remember that: Miles Iones could talk himself out of any question in English class: Bob Kandrat was always well supplied with gum: Betty Zalesky was a whizz at basketball: Bill lones was continually having girl trouble: Mary Macario was a iamiliar figure, roaming the halls: lane Iones had a yen for cracking gum: Charles Rinaldo was the popular crooner: Ioe Domlesky was forever cutting up : Senior French class celebrated Mrs. Ney's birthday: Stanley Bruzda was very bashiul-to our dismay: Ioan Warner meekly returned Room 7's sharpener after the card party: Every senior knew To be or Not to be l???l: We just called Iune Kozura Dinah for short: On a rainy day you could usually see Mary lane Poppich and Georqine Gabard' dodging the raindrops: Iack Flynn offered arguments in P. O. D. classes: We had quite a crowd when The Ioneses got together: Any words spoken to a senior were answered with the familiar What else? : Dante Taglteri had his own private home room among the art specimens: Yolanda Dalessandro still remained our class quiz kid : Dorothy Barbacovi was usually smiling: The Bernosky Twins still kept us guessing at Who's Who : Bill Karaces was our choice of an all-around fellow: Herman Harvey could make a book out oi his pink tardy-cards. hundred twenty-eight.

SOME NOTES FROM EARLY RECORDS nc It took quite a bit of persuading to get these confessions from the seniors. A few pleaded an uneventful childhood, and many more complained of sudden lapses of memory. However, a goodly number were able to remember the following early events which we believe you will find hard to forget. Marjorie Bainbridge was slow in learning to walk, but got around via her great dane. Jerry Freiler, aged six, frustrated his mother for weeks by removing all the labels from her canned goods. Georgine Gabardi used to spend her summer afternoons teaching lack Kline how to take care of her little rubber doll. Bill Rowan discovered a novel method of breaking his cousin's habit of crying. He corked her up with a fried pork chop. Dorothy Barbacovi took the cuckoo clock apart to let the chicken walk around a while. Confused Ethel Rowlands tried to purchase candy with a medal she had found. Christine Mitchell insisted on taking her doll to school for company in first grade. Stan Michalski watched his chickens scratch their way under the fence to freedom. At the age of six he followed suit. For years Theresa Seruskte lived in fear of swallowing her gum because she was convinced her insides would stick together. Florence Pukas, overcome with first grade generosity, gave some unusual hair cuts to her friends. They retaliated by clipping her pig tails. Blanche Frye had a male enemy in third grade who dipped her hair in ink. Florence Kryscio broke her doll on purpose so she could gather the kids for a regular funeral. Whenever Bertha Palewich raised her hand for a drink in first grade she walked home for it. Before coming to Minersville, Margaret McCaul played hookey, flagged a ride and was kindly picked up by the principal. Buddy Harvey came to school with two different shoes on in sixth grade. Iulia Phillips was so used to standing for her relatives' weddings she asked why she wasn't on her mother's wedding picture. Helen Petack and Florence Kryscio pulled up all the carrots from neighbors' gardens to see if they all tasted the same. The rejected ones were carefully put back in the ground. Mary Walkusky's method of defending herself was to throw milk bottles. Florence Isaacs tried to dye her hair with red ink. Kathryn Kozlov liked to wait for the baker to get a ride to school. When he was late it necessitated playing hockey. Pearl Polinslcy was gently urged to school with a paddle. hundred thlrLy-nim,- D I R E C T Q R Y By IANE JONES and GEORGINE GABARDI Name Marjorie Bainbridge Dorothy Barbacovi Claire Bernosky Rita Bernosky Iohn Bickel Loretta Brennan Raymond Brennan Stella Brennan Stanley Bruzda Anne Calderone Vincent Citrullo Edward Coady lohn Cremo Native State First Senior Innocent??
