By pictures and accounts of important events, we, the Master Sergeants, have attempted to depict the experiences of our life during this period. The Staff hopes you will find the Penn Point a memorable record of camp days in Penn Township. ARTISTS DESIGN DIVISION PAGES TYPISTS COMPLETE FINAL COPIES The perseverance and journalistic ability of Isadore I)eVal and Dorothy Fennell have guided the Penn Point Staff through many hours of planning and work until the project received the approval of the faculty adviser. A group of diligent and capable workers who have conducted the sale of the yearbook is the business staff. In charge of this group is the business manager, Kenneth George. 11 is two assistants are Norma Goss and Margaret Maffessanti. Two fellow servicemen of our company who have contributed their skill to the art work of The Penn Point are Kenneth Schwartz and Arnold Yeske. They are seen above sketching the cover and Alma Mater. The Editorial Staff has been ably assisted by very efficient typists from the communique department. Those seen in the above picture are John Kinkela, Lillian Kin-kella, and Anna Belle Fink. 3 WHO HAS DILIGENTLY AND FAITHFULLY LED OUR COMPANY THROUGH ALL OUR BATTLES; WHO, THROUGH OUR MANY YEARS OF TRAINING, HAS MARCHED WITH US IN TIMES OF VICTORY AND DEFEAT; AND WHO HAS SHARED WITH US HIS WEALTH OF EXPERIENCE AND KNOWLEDGE, WE, THE CLASS OF 1945, RESPECTFULLY DEDICATE OUR ANNUAL, THE PENN POINT. [ . ' ( ' r 4 : , GENERAL STAFF MR. SAMUEL J. GUY THE LIEUTENANT COLONEL Colonel Wyant, of our camp, has received diligent and worthy assistance from another capable officer, Lieutenant-Colonel John Mochnick. He has always been ready to advise and help us in any problems that have arisen. We are very grateful for the guidance we have received from him. THE CAPTAINS The appreciation of every Master Sergeant goes to a very deserving group—the instructors of Camp Penn Township. Their patience and guidance have continually aided us in conquering our difficult courses. We give special thanks to those Captains who have gone “beyond the line of duty” and sponsored projects and activities outside of their regular schedule. Row 4-‘ Mr. Hostetler, Mr. Wyant, Mr. Onder.

During the study of “A Tale of Two Cities,” Corporal A thorough knowledge of the growth of our country Robert Poole explains the construction and the operation contributes to good- citizenship. °f the guillot ine. Future scientists study dynamic electricity. The Master Sergeants solve a spherical problem. 7 SPECIALIZED TRAINING Endeavoring to broaden the minds of the enlistees, the officers of Camp Penn Twp. offer specialized training in three different fields—Vocations, Languages and Arts. • Around chow time, the tired and hungry soldiers are attracted by the delicious odors that come from the mess hall. All the recruits, at some time or other, receive instruction under the supervision of Captain Lucille Ross during which they learn the practical skills of washing dishes and cooking. On February 5, the General Staff enjoyed a banquet prepared by Master Sergeants Marie Balcaitis. Freda Hilty, Dorothy Blank, Helen Ocepek, Lois Loughner and others. While other divisions are on maneuvers, the Communications Department, headed by Captain Rudell Permar, is busy typing the orders and relaying them to the Commanding Officers. The highest speed attained by any of the typists is approximately 60 words a minute. In the Foreign Relations Department, a new language, Spanish, taught by Captain Mildred Bogle, has been introduced. Through conversation and discussion, the scholars are gaining facility in this language. Looking forward to postwar days. Master Sergeants Jack Zimmerman, Margaret Maffessanti, Ernest Serbernak, Mary Kazlausky, and Staff Sergeant Fred Martini are planning a trip to South America. Two courses are offered in another foreign language, French, which is particularly interesting to the Staff Sergeants. Rapid progress has been made by Theodore Perich, Esther Stover, Gerald Breakey, Alice Fennell, and Richard Weightman who are pictured enjoying a copy of “Carrefour” which was sent to Captain Evelyn Riggs by a former French student. Both the Spanish and the French Divisions interpret the foreign communiques while the two Latin sections aid the Health Staff. A poster of the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag, written in Latin, hangs in the Latin office. Captain Veronica Bcrtoline announced that Staff Sergeants June Moore and Jane Lauffer, and Corporals Richard Sauers, Hazel Peters, and Robert Gilbert have attained a high honor rating in this foreign language. Turning our attention to the Arts, we find the U. S. O. has provided varied entertainment for the servicemen. The Dramatic Troupe, supervised by Captain Ruth Peters, presented several plays which were enjoyed immensely and which will always lx remembered. The scene from Dress Rehearsal” shows Chuck (Staff Sergeant Alwine) being praised for knocking out Horace (Master Sergeant DeVal) during a momentary blackout while Bus (Staff Sergeant Yerina) is still bewildered by the unexpected firing of the gun. In Music, the Theory ('lass studies musical arrangements under the tutelage of Captain Jean I eslie who transferred to our camp in January In addition, each Master Sergeant specializes in the study of one instrument: James Kelley, trumpet; William Roscosky,accordion; Arnold Yeske, piano; Clifford Felmlee, trumpet; and William Jewett, the piano. The advertising of recreational activities and the decorating of the U. S. 0. is the responsibility of the Art Staff. They draw (Misters for the War Dinns. Red Cross and Infantile Paralysis campaigns. Master Sergeant Albert Orr received a recommendation for an outstanding (Mister depicting relationship between the scientists on the home front and the doctors who aid the wounded soldiers on the battlefield. All these activities are supervised by Captain Claire Crawford. During the period of training every recruit has an opportunity to profit by instruction in one or more of these specialized fields.

Activity period found Richard Weightman hurrying to catch up to Esther Stover while Gerald Breakey walked Kathryn Galuska to the library. There, Captain George Long, our adviser, was waiting to greet all of us as we went into the room to cast our votes for the company officers. After voting, we hastily departed from the room as mess time was approaching. Sally Diebler and Lois Kidd tallied the votes, and the results were posted on the bulletin board. The ones chosen to lead the company were: First Lieutenant, Clifford Felmlee; Second Lieutenants Andrew Rabbits, Betty Barton, and Ruth Broker. The bell for fourth period class rang and we all went hurriedly to English class, where Captain Ruth Peters greeted us with a smile and gave us the “privilege” of presenting our talks. I didn’t get a chance to give mine, lucky for me; but there is always tomorrow, you know. The next period found us struggling with a French dictation. 1 passed it, but not with a high rating. In music class we sang songs from a comic opera, and Robert certainly displayed his vocal ability. I was glad when this somewhat strenuous day finally ended. September 29, 1944 The seething, milling crowd pushed impatiently into the gymnasium and rushed to secure their favorite seats. A hum of excitement and speculation filled the gym as the students prepared for a vigorous pep meeting. With Captain Mildred Bogle’s cheerleaders—Gail Eaton, Ethel Greer, Kathleen Schendel and Connie Raymaley directing them, the crowd broke into the locomotive cheer which was followed by other spirited yells. Three rahs saluted the band as it circled majestically around the gym. MY DAY October 19, 1944 After we hand undergone many long hours of studying and training, the day arrived. It was the dark, dreary day of October 19. The zero hour was near at hand. Everyone had a tense expression on his face. F’or many, it was the first time they had seen action. Then came the warning Here they come!” but we were prepared for them. (Hadn't we been capably trained by our superior officer, Miss Peters). Then they came into view—hundreds of them, shouting and yelling. Within a few minutes the auditorium was filled. Backstage there was silence. Only one thought raced through our minds “Will Jay Mayo remember his lines?” Kay Duralia, her hair arranged in an upsweep which made her resemble a glamorous movie star, sat on the davenport. Sally Deibler and Kathleen Schendel were sitting there with her. DeYal, with a false mustache, which made him look like Clark Gable or maybe Jerry Colona, was looking for his briefcase. All of us were nervous except Jay who was calmly unimpressed. We took our positions on stage. Mike Kashurba stood by with the sound effects. When Glenn Fink and Marshal Blank opened the curtain, the “Blackout Mystery” began. The play went along very smoothly. As the curtain was closed, we all sighed with relief for the audience seemed pleased. playing the Victory March. All eyes focused on the band as the sweet notes from Cliff Felmlee’s trumpet filled the gym. After several renditions from the band, the cheerleaders led the crowd in a few routine cheers for the football squad and Coach Tar Onder. Filled with confidence in the football squad and bubbling over with excitement, the students left the gym to go home and await the time of battle with Jeannette. 23 IMPORTANT DAYS AT CAMP MY DAY November 6, 1944 Today was an eventful one in the history of our training because we participated in our first mock election. A few of the qualifications necessary before � e could vote were: registration, residence in the voting district for sixty days and membership in the camp. In groups of three or four, we strode down to the place designated for us to vote. There the Board Members—Rudy Labor, Gerald Breakey, Ted Perich, Betty Barton, and Dorothy Miller—greeted the voters of the eleventh precinct. As soon as I had finished casting my ballot, I stepped out into the hall; and as I did so, I saw a figure dashing madly down the hall. What seemed to be Superman was really Bill Brown, also a voter of the eleventh precinct. It seemed that about five minutes before the polls closed, he realized he hadn’t voted. After the votes were tallied, the results were broadcast. In most cases, the democratic candidates were victorious. I think that this mock election gave us an opportunity to understand better the democratic form of government and acquainted us with election procedures. The activity was supervised by the Social Studies Department. MY DAY November 10, 1944 This morning many girls appeared with their hair up to avoid that last-minute rush in the evening. Study was of second importance as everyone excitedly discussed the Pensindian Dance, honoring the football squad, to be held in the evening. The dance was especially important to Cliff Felmlee who was making his first evening appearance with his orchestra, the Star Dusters. Before classes began, the occasion was advertised by the appearance of a Pensindian, Michael Humlan, who was costumed as Chief Guyasuta, the Seneca Chief in the Battle of Bushy Run. In the evening the guests were greeted by “Chief Guyasuta,” Captain Evelyn Riggs, and members of the Pensindian Staff. All who attended enjoyed three hours of dancing and other entertainment furnished by the orchestra and the staff. MY DAY November 20, 1944 The persistent tones of the top sergeant suddenly awoke 24 me from my dreams. Recalling that it was Monday morning, I sprang out of my cot and started to get ready for drill. Walking gaily down the road to meet the angry lieutenant, I was singing “Blue Skies” even though it was drizzling rain. Everyone at camp was in high spirits with the usual groups roaming around in the halls. Here and there a few romantic couples-—Foo and Gail, Nundo and Ruth—were conversing at the lockers. The 11-3 History class was sitting quietly when Lt. Col. John Mochnic-k entered the room. A peculiar expression ap[ eared on his face when he saw many WAC’s with their hair tied up in babushkas, but they soon put him at ease by bringing to his attention the evening party. (This year it was decided to join the two ranks, the Staff Sergeants and Master Sergeants, and have the Star Dusters play out those fascinating dance tunes.) In the fifth period the Master Sergeants in the Home Economics class and a few of the Staff Sergeants made sandwiches. Cliff, Jerry, and Kenny rehearsed in the auditorium. This party was a great success. The Blackout Dance and Conga Line were two unusual features of the evening, but Senor Matthews” and “Senorita Reger” really did a fancy dance. The party ended with a delicious lunch. After obtaining their wraps, the Sad Sacks started for home, and a seven day leave, unmindful of the pouring rain. MY DAY December 9, 1944 Ibis morning as I walked to the training center with Rudy Labor, editor of the newspaper, we remarked about the splendid progress of the Dramatics Class this year. When I came into the hall, I was greeted by Ernie Lauffer and we went to room 226 together. IMPORTANT DAYS AT CAMP During the first period in Physics, we worked problems on forces. Later, in history. Lieutenant Colonel Mochniek related the story of a momentous occasion— the Ratification of the Constitution. Captain King showed us how to solve algebraic equations in the last class of the morning. I attended band practice in activity period, and after that I went to the auditorium where the Star Dusters meet every afternoon. As I entered I could hear Cliff Felmlee, leader of the orchestra, blowing a few hot notes on his trumpet. Teddy Perieli, Jerry Breakey, Ronney Sauers, Richard Martin, Norman and Don Turchin, Jimmy Arnold, and Bill Jewett were already eating their lunches. The afternoon started with English. There Captain Ruth Peters directed the Staff Sergeants in their Christmas play. Bob Andree and Wesley Watkins, of the U. S. Navy, were visitors. Leaving room 223, I descended the stairs to room 109, first floor, where I was greeted with a French dictation. An hour later found me on the gym floor, participating in a rough, fast game of basket ball. After the game, I collected my books and went home. MY DAY December 11, 1944 Oh! What a beautiful morning Oh! What a beautiful day I have a beautiful feeling Everything's going my way! Singing this merry tune, I wended my way through the halls toward my first period class, Physics. Being overtaken by two fellow Star Dusters, Cliff n’ Jerry, I started conversing with them about music and saxophones. In Physics class, we argued about how long il would take a train, going at 30 miles per hour to cross a 520-ft. span. Captain Byers finally had to stop us and put us on the “right track.” As the bell rang, I peered through the windows and noticed a warm friendly sun beaming down upon the lawn. Nothing interesting happened to the Continental Congress in History Class, but I did remark to Teddy Perich and Glenn Peters, as we changed class, about the fine morning. In the next period the coefficients and quadratics went circling the room like mosquito bombers over Berlin. Finally came mess which was followed by orchestra practice. Practice was short Iwcause nobody had his English composition criticism prepared or his French studied. After succeeding in preparing my afternoon studies, I strolled into English class. But there in utter disappointment, I saw a . . . snow flake fluttering past the window. In class we read and discussed some of our compositions. (I was lucky because mine wasn’t read). As we changed classes, I seemed to recognize a change outside—the sky, no more a lush blue, was dark and dismal. The sun no longer shone, but snowflakes began to fly in fury. Later, in. French class. Captain Evelyn Riggs suddenly asked the Moore twins a question concerning grammar, and remarked, “Les flocons sont grand, n’est-ce pas?” This comment started me thinking about accidents, putting on chains, sledriding, and snowballing. I concentrated on these during the next period and also on the bus going home. MY DAY January 15, 1945 Monday morning found us ponderously trudging through the snow that had kept us out of the camp for an extended furlough. Entering the camp, we were heartily greeted by our buddies. The bugle summoned us to our barracks where we dubiously waited for drills to commence. When we went to our first drill, we found many of our friends A. W. O. L. They came in later and explained that the bus had run into deep snow (perhaps the famous 20-foot snowdrift in Esler.) It was almost like the first day of training because we had to make a fresh start in all our courses. Being away from camp so long made us forget most of our assignments. When in the afternoon, it started to snow again, some of the soldiers entertained the thought that we wouldn’t have training on Tuesday. But, contrary to popular opinion, instruction continued as usual on Tuesday. MY DAY January 19, 1945 For days we had been looking forward, with great anticipation, to the contest with Jeannette. When I went to the office to secure my ticket for the basket ball game, Mr. Mochniek remarked that a full gym was expected. His prediction was fulfilled. I was one of the unlucky spectators who watched the game by looking over the shoulder of one who was looking over the shoulder of the one who was looking over the railing. The loss of the Junior Varsity game discouraged a few of the fans. This feeling wasn’t changed by the score at the half of the Varsity game, which was Jeannette, 25; Penn Twp., 13. Finally the score reached 35-30, gradually increasing until Jeannette had 39; Penn Twp., 38. Then Serbernak sank a foul to tie the score. Amid deafening applause, McClain made a peep shot to put Penn Twp. out in front 41-39. With two seconds to go, Serbernak dropped another foul, ending the game 42-39. Because of the keen rivalry and clean sportsmanship which were evident during the entire contest, this initial athletic victory over Jeannette will always merit prominence in the camp records. January 21, 1945 This year the magazine campaign was very successful. The total sales amounted to $1760.50. The profit— $540.51—was contributed to the fund for the movie projector. 25 IMPORTANT DAYS AT CAMP On January 21, we assembled in the auditorium where tlie prizes were to be awarded. After the devotional exercises, conducted by Mr. Mochnick, Mr. Wyant introduced Mr. Wallace, the Curtiss manager for this district, who talked to the students and awarded the prizes for the highest salesmanship. Rose Dalletezze, having sold $73.75 worth of magazines, received $.5. William Busehe, next to the highest salesman, received three dollars. Then Mrs. Molinero conducted the drawing for the watch. Isadore DeVal, the student general manager, drew the name of the lucky winner, Roy Fink. He was given t he choice of a war bond or a wrist watch. Roy chose the watch. number three in Geometry?” “Did you ever hear of those long vocabulary words in English?” “Did you think the test in Physics was hard?” Strolling through the halls after lunch, I heard the remark, “Come up to the store with me,” and the answer, I can't; I must study French.” Too soon the bell rang, and the students once more assembled in their rooms. Again several hours were spent answering questions, but finally the bell announcing dismissal rang. Then, as before, one heard comments concerning the tests, but at length the noise subsided and the school was left in silence. Thus ended a school day and with it the “mid-terms” for this year. After all the excitement of the drawing was over, Mr. Wallace introduced Mr. Smull, the manager of this district last year, who gave the ice cream treats to the platoons of Miss Campagna and Miss Ross for their unusual achievement in the campaign. The leader of platoon 10.7 was Dallas Eaton; Platoon 118 worked under the direction of William Lazar. Full participation and cooperation of the students characterized this project. MY DAY February 9, 194.7 Everyone was excited this morning. Walking through the halls, one could notice students hurriedly pulling books from their lockers; and a peep into one of the rooms would reveal some students busy with notes and books. Yes, it was time for mid-terms” again. Finally the bell rang, and the students wandered slowly and reluctantly into their rooms. Then Lt. Col. John Mochnick announced it was time for the tests to begin. The next few hours was spent in racking their brains. At last the bell for dismissal rang, and the rooms were swiftly emptied. Then some questions were asked, such as: “What did you put for MY DAY February 22, 194.7 The troops of Camp Jeannette, a neighboring training center, were presented the Bushy Run Flag today. After succeeding in attaining the goal of 90% of the personnel participating in the buying of United States War Bonds and Stamps for twelve successive weeks, and having already received the Minute Man and the Rattlesnake Flags, they have earned the right to own the pennant representing the heroic actions of the struggle which took place near our battlegrounds. This flag portrays Col. Boquet, the brave commander of the victorious English; an Indian, who with his tribe was overrun in a brilliant stroke of battle strategy; and a Frenchman, one of the men who was allied with the Indian. We are honored to have in our camp a man capable of designing a flag that justly reproduces the most historic war in this vicinity. He is Master Sergeant Kenneth Schwartz, a brilliant artist of remarkable ability and originality, above, he and Margaret Maffessanti are displaying the flag that was given to Jeannette. Our own camp has won not only these awards but is well on the road to capturing the Ligonier Flag. 26 SERGEANTS Squad • : Cicerone, Bochneak, Anderson, Frye, Duralia. Davidson. Brewer.

Walt PLATOON 108 BO 31 Dear Mom: We will soon finish our basic and specialized training at Camp Penn Township and will leave to undertake varied assignments. During this training we have been so busy that I’ve had little time to write. But it was not all work and no play as we were privileged to enjoy various entertainments after our daily work was completed. For example, a few months ago the dramatic students came to camp. Though amateurs, they provided the camp with some breath-taking entertainment as they skillfully unfolded the plot of The Black-out Mystery.” On November 16, the U.S.O. came to camp again to entertain the troops. This time they presented “Dress Reversal” with an all-male cast. Even the Sad Sacks in the ranks were rolling in the aisles when Master Sgt. Jay Mayo, in an evening gown, came on the stage accompanied by Staff Sgt. Jerry Alwine in a shirtless full-dress suit. We were also shown a movie entitled “Combat America,” which was sent by the U. S. Treasury Department to our camp for our fine cooperation in the sale of stamps and bonds. It concerned the workings of the U. S. Air Force. And recently our camp was entertained by a play, “Lost and Found,” in which a baby disappeared. Humorous complications and mystery soon enveloped this disappearance but were abated by the ingenuity of Richard Dowling (St. Sgt. Robert Whisner). He managed to keep the news from the mother until the child was returned. The auditorium was so full that the Ushers Corps was kept busy finding seats for the enlistees. This organization has the task of gathering tickets and distributing programs at camp assemblies. The WACS in this camp are very well disciplined and efficient. One group. The Hostess Club, specializing in the domestic arts, has been busy repairing equipment for the culinary department. Another special branch of the WAC Quarter-masters Corps, the Stitch and Chatter Club, is designing and fashioning more attractive clothing for the WACS. A GAA branch of the WACS was formed to augment the desire for athletics and sportsmanship. Outstanding among the events this year were the Volley ball and Basket ball tournaments. The Master Sgts., though under heavy fire, came through with victory in the Volley ball tilt. After a vicious battle between the Master Sgts. and Corporals, the Corporals emerged victorious, and were the champs. After eating some of our own cooking in mess, our morale needs a lift so we have a pep meeting every once in a while. Believe me, those cheer leaders can really raise the GI morale. As 1 told you in a former letter. Captain Philip Olmes moved to another camp. Since his departure the band has been under the capable leadership of Lt. Clifford Felmlee. They have helped strengthen the morale of the troops by playing at all the battles and pep meetings. Oh, here comes Kenny George again, soliciting subscriptions for the yearbook, as usual. He's always on the go, inspiring others with his zeal and energy. Your mention of air raid wardens and blackouts reminds me that we have an incendiary squad, made up of a group of boys trained in fire fighting and led by Captain Long. They have kept our camp safe from fire and are always on the alert for air raids. In answer to your inquiry as to how we are notified of our assignments, our drill orders and special activities are posted on the camp bulletin board by a special corps, the Bulletin Board Club. All the enlistees who leave here for active duty in the service of our country are kept well informed about the events that occur during each week in camp by circulars which are published by the Victory Seniorettes. ’ ' ' ■ ' ' ' [ I I 1 32 I’m sending you our camp newspaper, the Pensindian, which is edited by St. Sgt. Rudy Labor under the direction of Captain Riggs. For the first time in the history of our camp, the paper is being commercially printed. The journalistic staff sends free copies of the paper to all the servicemen and women who have left Camp Penn Township. The Willing Workers have made life much more enjoyable by donating a piano, which is used by the Star Dusters wrhen they sponsor noon dances. I attended a dance on Nov. 20 sponsored by the Master and Staff Sergeants of the camp. My buddy, Johnnie Onder, as usual danced the evening away with Margaret Maffessanti. Another pal of mine, Kenneth Schwartz, showed us that he was “hep to the jive as he rattled out some scintillating rhythm on his drums. We have a Junior Red Cross here too. It is a voluntary organization of enlisted personnel which has been active in raising funds for the Red Cross and Infantile Paralysis drive. They also sent Christmas menus and packages to our servicemen who are on active duty. Speaking of being active Sis told me in her last letter that you are very busy at the local Red Cross Chapter. It’s wonderful the way you folks at home are backing the fighting forces. While I am writing this, John Kinkela, a studious lad, is pecking away at his typewriter while Albert Orr, seated on his bunk in the corner, is studying hard for further advancement. The Hay Ride I mentioned in one of my previous letters was a wonderful success. The wagon, pulled by a tractor and loaded with Master Sgts., traveled through the country side and into Jeannette. The Camp Chorus also entertains the troops by presenting musical programs in assemblies and on special occasions. So you see, Mom, there’s always something to do whether it’s work or enjoyment. Don’t worry about me if I don’t write often, because as I said before, we are very busy. Take care of yourself and tell Sis to do the same, and don’t forget to write as often as you can.

Tar Under. The blue and white gridders completed a commendable season under trying conditions. The team was confronted by a hard schedule of seven battles, six being highly rated ( lass B teams. The Indians succeeded in winning three skirmishes while losing four. Our first landing was at Hast Deer, but it was not successful. The challengers squeezed out a 6-0 victory. The Townshippers’ attack bogged down twice while inches away from their main objective. The following Saturday another amphibious force of Coach Under’s tried to establish a beachhead at a different point called Jeannette. The force, outweighed, could not hold its position against such odds and the foe won 03-0. During very rainy weather with the battle field already water-soaked, the Indians attacked again—Pitcairn being their third foe. The first assault was successful as Martini threw a flying missile to Kashurba for the first touchdown of the season. The situation was well in hand, but the enemy came roaring back to win by one point. So in three engagements the Penn Twp. gridders suffered all defeats, but the hardened boys gained much valuable experience as was shown when they gained their first victory against the stubborn Ligonier team, 1-2-0. George McClain scored the first touchdown alter catching a pass; Martini plunged across from the three-yard stripe for the second. With the grid machine in high gear, the Indians rolled over the plains of Trafford for their second straight victory 48 BATTLES (cont.) after a rough Watt le. The first touchdown was scored by Onder on a spectacular run of 75 yards around Trafford’s right flank. Martini and Serbernak carried the other two six-pointers across and the final score read 19-7. With the Indians aiming at the W.P.I.A.L. championship, their hopes were blasted when a surprise attack by Youngwood spoiled their opportunity as the Townshippers were defeated 20-12. Serbernak and Onder scored both touchdowns after catching bullet passes from Martini. The team immediately counter-attacked at Bell Twp. and the enemy was crushed by a 27-7 score. Again the weather conditions were unfavorable. In this battle the physically fit boys of Coach Onder carried on brilliantly. George Duralia scored the first touchdown when he recovered a blocked punt in the end zone. Martini chucked a pass to Serbernak for the second touchdown, and another bullet from finder to Martini brought the third. A trick play, from Schwartz to Serbernak to Onder, brought the final T. I), of the season. Many boys were fighting in their last battle and they all fought gallantly. Martini, Onder, and Serl ernak each scored three touchdowns to lead the scoring for the 1944 season. Those meriting an honorable discharge were Kenneth Schwartz, John Onder, Ernest Serbernak, Fred Martini, Frank Cusworth, William Roscosky, George McClain and Kenneth George. The outlook for the future is bright, for many stars on this year’s team are underclassmen. Those who should form the backbone of next year’s military machine are Ix-wis Kistler, Jerry Allwine, George Duralia, George Stankewich, Henry Moser, John Stambol and Mike Kashurba. INDIVIDUAL HONORS Camp Penn Twp. again this year placed four men on the County All-Star Team. Fred Martini and Ernie Serbernak both received first string berths, and Johnny Onder and Bill Roscosky received Honorable mention. The Camp is very proud to congratulate these boys for their special accomplishment. 49 Squad .i: Kizxutrdi. Kohl, Allwine (Anderson. Moser. Squad l : Coach McCullough, It. Anderson. Kazlnuskv. Brown, Bigler. Squad 1: Serbernak. McClain, George, McCullieon. BATTLES Camp Penn Twp. again floored a c rack rifle platoon under a new C. 0. Kenneth McCullough. The men making up this year’s team are all veterans, each having had valuable combat experience. The boys were more than eager to get started, for bad weather had held up their operations for some time. When the time came to advance, everyone was in the pink of condition and easily caught the enemy off guard. The first foe to feel the sting of the Yanks, who go into battle with the Indian cry bellowing from their lips, was South Huntington. The sharp-shooters ran wild to win by a 48-18 score; McClain and Serbernak led in the scoring with 22 and 11 points respectively. Again, in easy fashion, the crack shot toppled over Sewickley and West Newton to land in first place . The scores were 40-18 and 27-10. Again McClain led in the scoring in lw th games, with 10 and 15 points. The victory over West Newton was the first one over this opponent in the (’amp’s history, but we had to pay dearly. Serbernak, the star center, was a casualty and was lost for the remainder of the season. Hut the lads from West Newton were not to stay in the black shadows of defeat for long. They counter-attacked with such a fierce offense that our men were swamped 46-20. The boys fought back with all they had, but the Hornets could not be stopped. Ken George meshed 10 points through the hoop to be a high scorer. Still weak from the Hornets’ onslaught, the Youngwood railroaders came in to finish the job; the score was 56-21. McClain tallied 10 points to lead his gallant men, but they were conquered in their second league battle. With gloom and defeat covering the camp, the morale was brought up when the Townshippers took the offensive and beat South Huntington 89-38. Again McClain was high man with 24 points. Youngwood, bidding for the league championship, played a steady game to lx at ( amp Penn again 63-43. Martini showed up fine in defeat as he tallied 17 points. The final league game was with Sewickley, and they were swamped by the all-out-attack of the boys from ( amp Penn Township, 42-21. Number three, rather “Babe” McC lain, was high scorer with 16 points. In league competition the Townshippers finished in third place with five victories and three defeats. 50 i . 1 . .
