Motto CARPE DIEM 1943 SENICR MEMOIRS Publlshed by The Scmox Clfxss of the Polt Je1v1s Jumor Semol Hlgh School Port Je1v1s New York F OREWORD Our staff in compiling this book wishes to have a link between our high school life and the uncertain future. We realize more than any other class, with many of our boys being graduated in absentla, what this war means. The activities of our high school days are here along with hopes for tomorrow. Always we will turn these pages to recapture youth and always we will have the spirit of youth as we go out to conquer the world. What For Tomorrow? Four years ago, when the Senior Class of ,39 looked toward the future, they 'uisioned the World of Tomorrow as it was shown in the New York World's Fair. They chose this as the theme for their classbook and wrote of the improved conditions that were to exist in future years. Today we, the Class of '43 look forward as they did, in an attempt to see beyond the present. The picture is not so clear now, for our country is in the midst of the second World War, which will last we know not how long. We see the chaos and terror of battle and then beyond to the time when plans must be made for peace, and we know that we, the Seniors of '43, must do our best to make that peace everlasting. Introduction Administration Class of 1943 Organization Athletics Advertisements DEDICATION We, the Class of '43, have a larger task ahead of us than any preceding. We have worked and played together for four years. Some of us have gone already and we all must separate in June. Of the people represented by pictures in our classbook, a few will never come backg some will win the war and some will win the peace. We at home know that our well-being, our democratic ideals, our very homes depend on the services of our armed forces. To them we dedicate our classbook. Especially it is dedicated to the boys from our class already gone, those who will go in June and our teachers whom we sin- cerely miss. We know what their loss means to us and to the school. We want these friends to be able to turn to our book and know that in the midst of this gigantic war though they seem only a small part, they are still missed and longed for at home. Perhaps war has taken the place of many familiar things these past months, but our Senior Class still thought it essential to publish our class- book and we are proud to dedicate it to these men. We send to them a solemn prayer for their victorious and safe return. ALJ.. N 1 . 5 D , w K 1 . wi ... Top flCDX8'fRilS'IllllIld Burns. U. S. Navy: Thomas F011, U. S. Marines: Richard C.5l'l'Cl'. U.

Appreciation To Advisors The Senior Class of 1943 cannot leave unmentioned the in- valuable aid of our advisers, Mrs. Louise Blood, Miss Elizabeth Stoddard and Mr. Paul Koors, during the past year. It is especially fitting that We do this at such a time when there are so many outside activities which demand their attention. Your cheerful guidance has certainly made the past year a happy and most memorable one. SENIORS Z Our nation is at war. Many of you students are already at the front or are preparing to join the armed services. Within a few months more of you will follow, while still others will remain to protect the home front. Regardless of where you go or what you do, remember-there is a job to dog a War to wing a peace to makeg and an abiding faith to build among ourselves and our neighbors both on this and other continents in order that your sacrifice may not have been made in vain.

Moore, we the Seniors of the class of 1943 do commemorate this book. His sudden departure from our midst on March 7, 1940, brought sorrow and grief to all who knew him. Although he is gone from us forever, the memory of his pleasing way will be remembered by us always. Our Task Today One thought is uppermost in the hearts and minds of this year's graduating class-what can we do toward the winning of World War II? Already many boys have left our school for the armed services, and more are soon to go to the defense of our country. Many of the girls will hold defense jobs for the duration of the war as their share in Working for this great cause. Some of our teachers have had to leave, more will go, and the rest will remain to carry on the important Work of education. Little time can be used for pleasures, for all of our efforts must be directed toward the Winning of this War. Each of us must do his part to make this World a place where man can attend to his religious duties, develop his own ideas, speak his thoughts, and carry out his ambitions and desires with no fear of interfer- ence by the leader of a super race. .Qsx mx? sf WN S34 We . 1 ,, 5 A Q' 5 .gi W' wx M Y Mae' e E.

About rings a fearless song, That tells our hearts it won't be long, That war will wane and die. We've lived and laughed and loved and learned, Midst carefree hearts, from books un- burned, And we shall not forget. As I begin this lighter verse, I hope that you won't fume and curse, It could be worse yet. Little Theresa Ferraro Still says toity-thoid street. This girl cares not for tomorrow, And doesn't like a neat pleatf' He's waiting for Air Corps orders, To try the army chow. He'd like to change to new quarters, I-Ie's Mr. Ira Franzblau. Betty Jane Gibbs is the object Of one lad's affection. I hope this now timely subject Raises no objection. This is Miss Betty Gochenour I now present to you, She doesn't like this blasted war, But of boys she says, Woo-woo. She lives only for the blackouts, This Doris Gottlieb gal. She says it's then the wolves are out, She knows, I tell you, pal. Marc Grathwohl's our man of muscles, A football hero too. But if girls start wearing bustles, He'll quit them, and so would you. Art Gray is always dreaming on About a girl named Joyce. So 'till his dream is past and gone, Don't anyone make a noise. We all remember Bob and Dick, The Greer boys who are now In the army of a nation sick To help make it well somehow. 'Tm not the saint I seem in school, Harriet Gregory said. She's not a saint at all in school. Oh, Oh, What have I said? Grace Brewster's not boy-crazy, Like a silly high school girl But show her men in uniform, Her head is in a whirl. Joe Browns the strong and silent type, He seldom says a word. The army'll teach him how to gripe, Out loud so he'll be heard. Bob Brush keeps all his secrets To himself, and him alone. But I think he thinks this of woman: She's a rag, some hair, and a bone. His favorite hangout's where girls are, Favorite pastime, he says, is neckin', Fav'rite femmes are Lamour and LaMarr, His name's Howard Buddenhagen. His aspiration is medical fame, Yes he'd like to be a Doc. His inspiration's some neat dame. You've guessed-he's Howie Bullock. Class Poem By LEON HELT Frances Aber's favorite pastime, Teachers must have heard, Is chattering idly during class time, She's springtime's first-heard bird. He's mooning over Betty, He's giggling like a goon, His name is Willard Adams, More to say-verse ends too soon. Don't know much about him, Nothing I can say- Just know his name's John Arlow. He's better off that way. Mischief hovers in his eye, His laughter in the air. Delmer Bicknell is this guy He'll do what you don't dare. Gossip if ever there was one, A giggle-gal to boot. Her name is Lorraine Blair, Some people think she's cute. One look at Margaret Stening Is enough to prove to you That modern design's the only thing, It counts in women too. Shirley Hosking's all wrapped up In two important things, The moron jokes she tells us And the silly songs she sings. Raymond Burns-it can be told- Cares not how well a girl cooks. He doesn't care if she's shy or bold, He only cares how she looks. Jim Butler, it goes without saying, Is neither too wolfish nor bold. But still-and this goes without saying, He's as smooth as is polished gold. Dick Carlson is cracking his knuckles, Or chewing like mad on his gum, Then out he bursts with his chuckles, This boys who is everyone's chum. A tall and lanky blond is he, Bill Sherwood is his name, I don't know what he's gonna be. No matter, he has good aim. Henry Schutz, the horoscopes say, Appears to be conceited, I'm not inclined to think that way- My thoughts I have deleted. Herb Schmalzriedt is a little boy, With a great big deep bass voice. His girl friend is his constant joy, That I tell not her name is his choice. With never a thought of quitting, 'Though illness ruin each dream, Ken Bradshaw is now with us sitting, He's on our Commencement team. A man of many faces he, A special one for each mood, This fellow's Ted Salmon you see Nothing 'bout him can be booed. Ed Rutan is no woman's man, That is, at the least not one's, Though frozen or under ban, Eddie would still have some hons. Another bold fighting marine Is Sir Francis Rombousek, A strong cog in the roaring machine, That drives the enemy back. Hobe Roberts is a. country lad, Who's used to sun and soil, And the crops we need and have had Come partly from this lad's toil. She's full to the tip of' her tongue, With laughs not hard to provoke. I think she will always stay young, Alys Reese, of you I've spoke. He's really not a wolf you see, Can't blame him for liking girls. He seems like the quiet type to me- Herb Pierce-I'm wrong, say the glr She's quite noticeably demure, Maintains a good shape with no diet, You all do know her I'm sure, Her name is Phyllis Piatt. There's little known and little told Concerning Al Phillips, so, As long as you all know I'm joking, On to the next verse I go. Mary Osowick wants to be A secretary I'm told. But here is a prophecy: She'll be wed before she's too old. Frank Oliver now takes his place, In the midst of this corny verse. This may not quicken his pulse's pace If I'd known him 'twould be much w Catherine ' Ogrodnick's unconcerned, With trivial things like men, But when she has her school work les She may study men again. The Einstein of our physics class, So dubbed by Mr. Chase, Is Walt O'Connor, who, alas! Must find the bounds of space. One of the constant trio, Eleanor, Helen and Anne, Is Eleanor Nicolette, Find her alone if you can. She's tall, well-rounded type of girl, Who's easy on the eye. Her name is Phyllis Zeller, She likes boys. Don't ask me why. Buoyant, demure and naive, Then too, Jean Waycie's coy, But she must wear her heart on her For some gallant soldier boy. Bill Wagner is our King of Clowns, His jokes are super corn. But still he's nice to have around, When life and school are borin'. Gene Vollmer who is better known As Boxy to his pals, A few wild oats has lately sown With the Matamoras gals. John Stewart has gone to help Uncle Win this new war to end wars, And when he's all finished with Uncle He'll come back to the girl he adm Bill Soner's a. quiet, retiring boy, With a smile that will win any heal But never can tell when he's sad or in j When needed, he'll do his full part.

And now we come to a jokerg Les Davenport's the name. We laugh: his face like a poker, Though the joke remains the same. She uses as a looking glass Whatever she can find. When you see Esther Decker pass, Now you'll know what's on her mind. Don't tell a single soul of this, I really shouldn't tell. Bob Delaney in happy bliss Has said that girls are swell. I've heard that Elizabeth Denk Likes soldiers and sailors too. Almost every girl does, I think, I'm telling you nothing new. He's known as Porky to his friends, And Don Dewitt to all. Long before this wacky verse ends, He'll be another inch tall. His love affair is a classic, The Locker Holder Upper. To Frank Doss Miss Mimi Clancy, Is breakfast, lunch and supper. Thelma Emge's a country girlg She is not from the city. But an oyster may have a pearl. This poem is a pity. An Amazonic blond is she, Earleen Emrich by name. If only this verse could better be! Right now it is a shame. Tom Fell now wears the uniform Of United States Marine. We hope that medals may adorn I-Ils coat when here he's seen. Anna Trovel, friend of all ls terribly fond of clothes That is why in spring or fall She's dressed up where 'eer she goes. Bob Heal's another country lad, But still he's not a hlck. No one can ever call him cad, Not even a city slick. Although he plays good basketball, And this ls true, I'l1 bet, George Heaton's favorite of all Is the davenport duet. She has a svelte and snaky form And languld, lustrous eyes. Miss Betty Herman's heart is warm Toward a sailor boy who flies. Paul Horsman has a Varga girl, He has nice pict1.u'es of two Plus the new Modern Design girl: I've already told you who. Dewey Husson likes a good game, Of softball or of chess. Although they're hardly quite the same, This verse rhymes none-the-less. Al Jones may be a farmer boy, But there are some who know That he is neither shy nor coy, Nor is he very slow. Little is the word I shall use To describe this tlny miss. Phyll Kelch would be easy to lose: She's lost. Next verse goes like this: Pete Kelly is an Irishman, Senior class president too. Soon he'l1 be an army birdman, A bright red Irish cuckoo. Miss Connie Kidney takes the cake, With her lazy little drawl. She and Hosking a good pair make She's a nice kid after all. She's as Irish as Patty's pig She's called Calamity Jane I won't give her a dirty dig. Jane Kinney is her name. Bob Klelnstuber's very calm, And is undisturbed by girls, But a hula skirt 'neath a palm, Puts Bob's head, he hopes, in swirls. She runs a close second in shape To our Miss Modern Design. I'd call Jean Knight Miss Thirty-Six Tape,' Which, of course, is no business of mine Jim Latham owns one of the stars Now on our service flag. We hope he'1l come back wearing bars, And I-litler's head in a bag. Charlie Lombardo is the best Of old P. J.'s corn-crop. He's neither a droop nor a pestg He acts like a Keystone Kop.

I must be careful what I say About Miss Anne Cordisco. She's my editor-in-chief. Hey, Anne, you're a lady, yes 'tis so.

This poem will be the death of me. Oh, well! Soon it ends. Miss Mary Scully once belonged, And may still, for all I know, To a wolfess club that thronged And howled both high and low. Miss Alice Sjoqulst's new to us, And Clara Simpson too. I hope they don't mind all this fuss. At last I'm almost through. My life, it ls an open book, That any one may read. But I must warn you, lf you look, You'll be surprised indeed. I hope I haven't offended, Now that this verse has ended. Your patience has been splendid. All mistakes will be mended. CLASS PROPHECY By ANNE REAGEN It was just a little pain but yet it seemed to put a mist over my eyes. I felt life itself slipping away, and I had the sensation of falling, falling! How long I fell I do not know but suddenly I hit bottom. Everything was dark, but wait, what was that? Glimmers of light seemed to be trying to shine through the impregnable darkness. I groped my way toward a seemingly bolted door and came face to face with a busy, industrial city that was humming with excitement and activity. Where was I? Could this be Heaven! Why no, it appeared to be Port-not the Port of my youth but a new, enlightened city. As I made my way down crowded streets, I became conscious that something must have happened in the years I'd been away to make such a change. But what? I racked my already disturbed brain so much that it hurt. As I kept walking I heard people all talking about the mayor. At first it didn't have any effect on me but suddenly I knew he must be responsible for this new town. Sliding up the City Hall's steps unnoticed, I stood at the door to the mayor's office. As a man went out, leaving the door open, I peered around the corner and nearly fainted. His Honor the Mayor was our one and only Ed Rutan, who in '43 had suggested the theme of the classbook to be War and Hell. Talking to him in his capacity as Alderman-at-Large was no other than his good friend of past school days, Hank Schutz. To think that these two had accomplished all of this! My head felt heavy as I made my way into the street. I was startled as I saw a huge poster staring me in the face, Come tonight to see that budding actress, Jeanette Knight, in A Lover's Quarrelf' And in smaller words was the statement, Miss Knight is managed by Richard Carlson. Vaguely I recalled and wondered what had become of Howie Bullock and Al Phillips. Fortunately, I ran into an old friend of mme, Helen Burns, with her two adorable brats, who told me about some of our class. lt seems that Casanova bullock is now Dr.3 and his nurse and able assistant is Anne Cordiso. And I ask, Al? Oh, says Ellen, he's Still telling Rotary and Kiwanis about the medals he won as a Marine. And Ele2.l'l01' Carmichael is still trying to decide what CO116g8 to go to. Well, I've got to get going. I've got to take these two to the dentist. So I started up Pike street, staring at the humming activity. At the Gazette office I peered in and nearly bumped into howard Budclenhagen racing out with his camera to cover a story. Across the street I stopped for a few words with Fairmont's soda jerker, Walt O'Connor. Continuing my tour, I found the library now inhabited by Betty Gibbs while Les Davenport was manager of the Strand. Jean Waycie operated the pop corn stand next door and Charlie Lombardo was the Ritz's barberg while doing a job on a customer he told me Margaret Stening was drum majorette for the Legionnaires and Lolly Chase was Miss Port Jervis of 1950. As I wandered around aimlessly I saw two signs that interested me. One was Frank Doss, insurance agent and the other Herb Pierce, dentist. Ah! Two more members of our class. I met Connie Kidney, who's now a successful dress designer, prancing down the streetg she said if I was looking for the class of '43 I had much to learn. And as it turned out I did. Clmagine by surprise to find Georgie Mitchell as one of the Rockettes, Alberta Child as Metropolitan Open Swimming Champion, to meet interior decorator Lizzie Denk and Congressman Sonny Brush.J Yes, Connie still knew the latest gossip. An athletic club had been added to the city's enterprises and Jim Butler was managerg lwhile practicing for indoor track meet was Bill Soner and girls' tennis singles Phil Zeller.J Winnie MacAlarney was nurse to Dr. Grawi across the street from here and next door Theresa Ferraro ran a boarding house. Hilda Morgan and Thelma Emge were working at the Tiny Tot factory. The latter said Larry Murray was an upholsterer on Orange street and Bob Heal was a pin boy at the bowling alleys. ,I knew I simply had to find a room for the night so I went into Hotel Minisink and asked for a room. The clerk was George Chantg bell-hop Joe Brown showed me to my room. Deciding I was hungry, after having freshened up, I went to the main dining rooni and as my waitresses had Mary Scully and Antoinette Soletro. These girls told me that Helen Mazur was an opera star in New York and roomed with that coming artist, Grace Brewster. They told me also that Eleanor Nicolette was a well-paid secretary for the Gosh-Awful Peanut Company in Newark. As I ate I became more and more interested in the class I had left so many years ago, so I made up my mind to keep walking although I was dead tired. I passed the Rockland Light and Power Co. where I saw Fran Aber working. Across the street at Haring's gas station Bob Kleinstuber was weighing out morsels of gas. I saw a truck drive up with home-grown vegetables in it, and Hobart Roberts and Alfred Jones leaped out. I said hello and proceded on my way. I wandered into Whitney's and out again but not before I saw Alice Collins working there. Jane Kinney was at the present time nursing Paul Horsman, an aviator who had crashed his plane during a recent storm. I found out that Ira Franzblau was a song Writer, no less, and that Mary Osowick was a piano tuner. Kosh Ogrodnick was a typist for the Ritzie-Rafters' in Montague. To my surprise Greenville was also a city and Dot Heussey was teaching home ec. in their brand new high school, and Anne Trovei was a bus-driver for kids who commuted. , At the top of the hill I met Esther Decker who was married and lived on Kellogg avenue. As we walked down Main she said that Delmer Bicknell and Ray Burns were auto mechanics for the Ford people at Detroit. She said that Lorraine Blair and Betty McConnell were nurses at St. Francis. Also that Donnie Cole was a portrait painter in Middletown and Charac Case was playing in the Warwick band. After I had left Esther I hastened to see Port Hl where all these people had been kids. As I entered, the halls seemed so familiar. I heard a call and a gang of football fellows came running out the gym door. These were coached by Ted Salmon assisted by Dick Greer. I learned that Bob Greer was carrying on ln his father's footsteps as a policeman and that Willard Adams and Johhnle Arlow were also cops. Beatrice Gochenour and Gobby were policewomen who knew how to get their men. The school seemed proud of its former athletic heroes who had gone on to the blg time. Grathwohl was now with the Chicago Bears and Art Gray and Pete Kelly were playing on the pennant winner, the Dodgers. Harriet Gregory took Warren L.'s place as math. teacher and Shirley Hosklng was teaching music here. She sald that Boxle Vollmer and Bugsy Wagner were playing in one of the leadlng dance bands ln the country. After this I hurrled down town to see what Front street was dolng as my last passage there was foggy. It seems that Jake Morgenstern was manager of Markovlts while Tom Fell was guiding Newberry's and Antoinette Marino was working under him. Modeling had been taken up by Port's stores and in Fashlonette I found Betty Herman doing so in a neat evening dress. Frank Oliver and Joe Melol were working for Levln's and they sald that Blll Sherwood and Charlie Kaschop were working for the Erie. Farther along I found that Alice Sjoquist had a photographers shop and Clara Simpson was working for the Building and Loan. I also found George Heaton to be head of the Trl-States Telephone Co. and Alice Husson was a telephone operator. Her brother, Dewey, was a teller ln the bank. And most surprising of all was to find LeRoy Hamilton to be postmaster with Don Dewitt a mail carrier. Hamy told me that Alys Reese was a medical secretary in Matamoras and Phyllis Platt was a messenger ln Lord and Taylor's. Coming out of the postoffice I accidentally knocked against Jimmy Latham who stayed in the Coast Guard after the war because he liked lt so much. He sald that Francis Rombousek who used to be a marine was now worklng with television at Radio City and the other marine from our class, John Slgreto, was managing a shoe store ln Brooklyn. Jimmy also said that he saw Earleen Emrlch working ln the supply store at his base. Funny but somehow standing outside the post office everything seemed to dim again. I opened my eyes to see my family and the doctor standing over me. There now, said the medico, you're all right. What happened, said 1? Nothing much, you've just had a bad case of encephalitis letharglca fsleeplng sickness to youJ. Prophecy on The Prophet If I could only hurry! Due to some scientific fact as yet unknown to the intellectuals of the world, the force of gravity has deserted my poor self and I am suspended about two inches from the ground. Consequently, I'm getting nowhere ln a hurry. This long, dusty road seems to lead down the hill to that village with all the church steeples in lt, but I am not so sure that I want to go to the vlllagtq. Every window that I can see is as dark as a pocket with the exception of one which is on the very top of the tallest bulld- lng. Even lf I float along as far as the building, I'll have to cllmb all those stairs because etery elevator boy has joined the army. Maybe if I hold my breath I'll go faster. I wonder what happened to the road from which I was only two lnches away? What could be behind this door? Let me see. It says A. Reagen B. S., B. A., D. I. What could D. I. stand for? Suddenly the letters are snatched away from my sight and there before me I see a rug of white, crumpled paper. No, it couldn't be a rug: lt's too high of! the floor. Oh, there's a desk under all that stuff. And behind the desk with a bewildered expression on hcr face and with a huge green hair ribbon dangling 1-ver one ew-hroxv cruuches my old schoolmate, Allllle. I-Il! says I, trymg to break hex' icy stare. Don't bother me, says she tensely, I just got a scoop. Generously she shoves the papers on the floor so that I can sit on her desk, I presume. Very gently I perch myself beside the three gremlins, who say See no evllg hear no evllg speak no evil whenever I look at them. What are you doing here? ask I, disregarding her apparent preoccupation. Her good nature keeps her from throwing the gremllns at me. I-Iaven't you heard? screams she, I'm editor-in-chief of The Broken Record. We go to press tomorrow and none of my reporters have handed in a thing. Hurrah, shout I. We start to jump up and down together because wdre so happy to see each other, I guess. I expect to see the ceiling fall down, but lt doesn't. It starts to rain instead. I, don't want to get wet because I'm going someplace and I don't want to ruln my new butch haircut. So I leave Annie to her printing press and start to run. The raln ls awfully cold-I run faster-and faster--and faster. And then I open my eyes. Slowly, my dream comes back to me. It strikes me as belng pretty silly, but I'll bet there's some truth in lt. Look Annie up ten years hence and see if my prophecy hasn't come true.

Our Personal Lives We of the Senior Class of 1943 will have a serious problem to solve that does not often confront a graduating class. This problem is the readjustment of our lives to peace-time. Our lives now are being planned for us by the war, but after it is over, what shall we do? There will probably be many new kinds of work for us to do in the post-war world, for great advancements have been made in the field of science. New materials have been per- fected and new medicines have been discovered. The field of air transportation has also been developed. By adapting ourselves to these changed conditions and doing the work for which we are best fitted, We shall be able to use these advancements for peace time needs rather than for the war effort, thus making our dream of the World of Tomorrow a reality for all people.

Although there are only 20 on the staff. the remaining members are energetically working towards being a staff officer. In order to do this, they must have had 50 inches of material printed during the year. The club had the lunch concessions for each home football and basketball annie as well as at Friday night dances and the annual Journalism Dance. Fifteen members attended the Columbia Soholastic Press Association Conference at Columbia University on the llth, 12th and 13th of March.

This is a service organization, and the response to the many calls made this year has been most generous. Thank you letters have been received from the evacuee children of England, who were the recipients of gift boxes sent abroad and of the articles purchased with money contributed to the National Children's Fund. Thirteen Christmas baskets containing an assortment of fruits and vegetables to needy families was but one of the generous offerings of the Junior Red Cross. The Home for Aged Women received donations of fruits and vegetables from this organization as an Easter token. Also bundles of clothing have been sent to needy mountaineer families of the South. The students of our school have been working on all sorts of enter- tainments and comfort utilities for our Servicemen wherever they may be. The Red Cross motto now and forever is: 'tWe Serve.

In order to better prepare themselves for the task they have before them, they have been taking the various pre-induction courses offered by the school. Meteorology, terminology, map reading, machine shop and mechan- ical drafting are but a few of the courses. It To these boys whom we have known so long, we say farewell, hoping that they will all return to us again by the time another graduation draws near. 1.,., , l . lf .,.. ., , . ,,., .,.,..a, ,.,.....

Mr. Andrew Dillman left us toward the end of the football season. His place was adequately filled by Mr. Richard Gingrich, who guided the band through the balance of the year. Following a policy of the previous year, the band rendered a number of Sunday afternoon concerts for the public. The band also escorted the draftees off, giving them a musical farewell. The financial status of the band was boosted by the fall and spring concerts, both drawing a large crowd. Sixteen dollars was donated to the Red Cross out of the band funds.

World Problems When our personal lives have been reorganized after the war, there will also be many world problems to face. In this war frequent air raids have caused the civilians to suffer as well as the soldiers, making everyone more conscious than ever before of the need of putting an end to all wars. The problems of control of the air and of policing the world are among the countless questions to be answered. We do not know what solution will be found, but as We search for the answer, let us all remember the thought expressed by Madame Chiang Kai-shek that we should hate the evil deeds of our enemies, but not the people. Only in this way will we be able to establish a World order in which there will be everlasting peace. End, Center, Tackle, Guard, Hit that man and hit him hard Hit him high, hit him low, Yea P. J.

Football The non-lettermen journeyed to Warwick and started the season off in the right fashion by defeating Warwick 9-0, in a hard-fought ball game. Liberty opened our season in Port and was defeated 12-0. The Port boys refused to be scored on, and snatched 12 points for themselves. Ted Salmon went over for the first six points. Pete Kelly, who substi- tuted for Al Phillips at center, intercepted a Liberty pass, and went over for the last six points. Playing under the lights at Kingston, Port Jervis did everything except taking the Kingston boys home and putting them to bed. Frank Adams and Harry Lynch staged an interesting contest for the fans wit- nessing the game. When the final whistle blew, Frank had crossed the goal line three times, and Harry had crossed the last white stripe three times. These boys plus three extra points, after the touchdowns by Tanker Norman, made the final score a 39-0 decision in favor of Port. Hard running and fine blocking prevailed throughout the game. One afternoon the boys went to Cornwall on the Hudson. A long pass from Adams to Lynch set up the first score, with Adams going over for the six points. The second score came because of the alertness of Dick Greer, an end. Salmon threw a pass, which was batted out of the hands of one of Port's players, and Dick took it out of the air and went over for the score. Norman converted after the touchdown. The charging Port line caught an enemy back behind his own goal, adding two more points-Port 15-Cornwall 0. Newburgh and the jinx came to Port and the home team was scored on for the first time during the season. The big boys of the Red and Black could not move throughout the hot afternoon and went down to defeat-Port 0-Newburgh 7. REVENGE IS SWEET. The A1 Chase of Oceanside, with his blue and gold clad boys, met our own Chase boys on the Glennette Field. It was an even battle until big Fran Myers recovered an Oceanside fumble deep in the visitor's territory. Port put across the only touchdown of the after- noon to win by 6-0. Port's Red Raiders blasted Poughkeepsie's hopes of a perfect season by upsetting the favored Poughkeepsie team 18-0. This was the first home defeat the Bridge City boys suffered since 1937, also it was the second time in which they were held scoreless in four years. Adams threw two perfect strikes into the hands of Howie Bullock, the Port quarterback, who went over twice in the first half. The aggres- siveness of Port's line held all of Poughkeepsie's power in check. In the final quarter, Port started a drive deep into our own territory. The drive was climaxed by a 20 yard jaunt by Bullock, who went over standing up. Paul Horsman and Bob Greer kept the home fans holding their seats by breaking into the open numerous times. Middletown 14-Port Jervis 12. The annual drumstick day found Port and Middletown with impressive records and ready for the biggest game. Port scored the first touchdown with a long and beautiful pass from Adams to Lynch who jumped high into the air for the ball. Middletown came back with the same tactics and scored, going ahead '7-6. Port took the overland route and scored again in the second quarter. Half score Port 12-Middletown 7. Middletown came back in the third quarter to score once more. Port failed to convert and that was the game. The final score was Middletown 14-Port 12. ' Coach Al Chase, Assistant Coach Bill Knowles, Co-captains Lynch and Grathwohl can be proud of the team that won six and lost two. Harry Lynch, Frank Adams, Ted Salmon, Paul Horsman, Bill Wagner, Howard Bullock, Bob Greer, Dick Greer, John Stewart, Marcus Grathwohl, Harold Norman, Charles Helt, Art Clark, Al Phillips, Pete Kelly, Fran Myers, and Bill Cleary played their last game for Port against Middletown. BASKETBALL The Port Jervis Cagers, under the eye of mentor Louis Horsman, opened the season by winning their first game from Liberty. The boys dropped the next two games, won two more, dropped another pair and finished up by winning the last five plus one over the alumni and another over the faculty. This gave them a total of ten wins which overshadowed the four losses. Horsman's boys started basketball under way by trimming Liberty to the tune of 37-20. Pete Kelly and Bob Carroll took the scoring honors with 11 points each. Bill Niles, Bill Sherwood, Charlie Lombardo, Art Gray, John Hoey, George Heaton, Ray Burns, Paul Horsman and Ted Salmon all helped to subdue the Liberty Indians. Playing its only bad game of the season, Port was beaten in the last twenty seconds 15-14 by the Ellenville five. Paul Horsman scored 7 points against the Ellenville team. Later in the season, Port came back to beat the Ellenville team 29-22. Monticello came to Port to hang the second defeat on the Port team. Avery, of Monticello, went wild in the second period and scored 8 points. Port led with two minutes remaining but Monticello scored four points to win 32-29. In defeating Newburgh 46-36, Port played one of its best games. In the third quarter, the boys coached by Horsman led 36-353 a scoring spree plus a good defense beat out Newburgh by the score of 46-36. Excellent team play and pass work were mainly responsible for the victory. One of the highlights of the game was the scoring of 19 points each by both Kelly and Carroll. Playing Kingston, Port led all of the way. The game went into an overtime period when the lack of substitutes cost Port the game. Three of Horsman's boys were ill, and the remaining boys were too exhausted to score the winning baskets against the large squad. The final score was 36-32 in favor of Kingston. When playing at Beacon on Washlngton's Birthday, Port was behind at the half by the one-sided score of 23-8. In the second half the boys scored 36 points while holding the Beacon team to 8 points, winning 34-31. The Red and B1ack's last three games showed the sterling qualities of the squad. In their game with Liberty, the Port team squeezed through to victory when Carroll sank a one-handed masterpiece from almost the middle of the court. This long shot took place in the second overtime period, Port Jervis 32, Liberty 30. After Middletown invaded Port, they certainly left forlorrn, having been beaten 49-34. Kelly and I-Iorsman were high scorers, with 12 and 11 points respectively. Then came the finale with Beacon! Port swamped the strong Hudson Valley team 54-31. Pete Kelley made an evening of lt, with an aggregate of 30 points after his name. In winning ten out of fourteen games, Port ran up 501 points to the opponents' 392. The four games lost were by a total margin of 10 points. Leaving by way of the diploma route are Peter Kelly, Paul Horsman, Ted Salmon, George Heaton, Arthur Gray and Charles Lombardo. 1942-43 SCHEDULE December 11, 1942 ......... Port Jervis Liberty . ..

BASEBALL Prospects for a successful baseball season seemed bright when Coach Louis Horsman gave the call for diamond candidates on April 3, for Pete Kelly, Charlie Lombardo, Paul Horsman, Ted Salmon and Tony Brzezowski Were left from the excellent team of 1942. However, the cold, rainy weather gave little opportunity for practice out-of-doors and. when the tri-term marks were recorded on April 27 Charles Lombardo, a veteran of three years, was lost to the team. Kelly was shifted from third to short, Bill Norris was placed at third, Armstrong took over the position at second, Ted Salmon went behind the plate, Charles Weis went to left, Charles Franzen went to center and Art Gray chased them in right. Tony Brzezowski kept his pitching assignment of last year, and. Paul Horsman continued at first base. This team took the field in the opening game. Other likely players were Englehardt, Prisco, O'Connor, Weigle, Ulrich, Eckert, Kent. Crine, Furman, Feiner and Pinkala. In the first game with Middletown, a team with three games already played, the Po1't iiine showed the lack of practice, especially at bat, The next day Po1't traveled to Kingston where, after leading for four innings, they finally succumbed to the hard hitting of the Kingston team. Brzezowski was on the mound in both games and did well considering his little opportunity for previous practice. With plenty of sunshine the team expected to win its share of games from the remaining schedule against Ellenville, Monticello, Kingston, Middletown and N. Y. M. A. Two games were played with Middletown, Kingston and Monticello. CLASS HISTORY Our classbook would not be complete without a final backward look to review the activities we have enjoyed during our high school years. The class officers during our first year of high school were: Arthur Gray, presidentg Leon Helt, vice-presidentg Carol Ollear, secretary, Francis Rombousek, treasurerg Margaret Stening, historian, and Doris Gottlieb, social chairman. Miss Lindstrom and Miss Gaynor were our class advisers. By selling pencils imprinted with the basketball schedule, we earned a Kodak camera for the use of all of the class members, as well as starting the class treasury. We also had a jam and jelly sale, and sold magic portfolios. Our only class activity was participation in the Sophomore Stunt Night. During our Sophomore year, we selected our class colors, flower, and motto to be used throughout our high school days. The class officers were: Ed Rutan, presidentg Paul Horsman, vice- president, Carol Ollear, secretaryg Anne Cordisco, treasurerg Fred Eckert, social chairmang and Jeanne Gillson, historian. Our class adviser was Mrs. Robert Amsden. Stunt Night was our responsibility that year and was a great success. Our Album of Songs won second prize, but since we sponsored the event, we did not accept it. Our Junior year was even more eventful. Paul Horsman was elected president, Almarin Phillips, vice-presidentg Anne Cordisco, secretaryg Francis Rombousek, treasurer, Howard Bullock and Doris Gottlieb, social chairmeng Betty Gibbs, historian. These officers were guided by Miss Julia Eggland, class adviser. Once more we received second prize in Stunt Night, with our chorus girls, Paul Horsman, Almarin Phillips, Ted Salmon, Herbert Pierce, Marcus Grathwohl, George Heaton, Joe Gillinder, Howard Bullock, Gene Vollmer, and Herbert Schmalzriedt. The Junior play, One Wild Night, also had the audience holding their sides from laughter. Paul Horsman and Jeanette Knight were the leading characters, with Leon Helt and Betty Gibbs providing the comedy. Almarin Phillips, Georgianna Mitchell, Janet Tice and Ted Salmon held supporting roles as well as several other characters. The play was direct- ed by Miss Oliver. The Junior-Senior party, with its patriotic theme, Keep 'Em Flying, provided an enjoyable time for all who attended. Music was furnished by Ralph Palumbo and his orchestra.. Then came our last year of high school, which is always the busiest of all. Our present officers are: Pete Kelly, presidentg Paul Horsman, vice-presldentg Anne Cordisco, secretary, Jane Kinney, treasurer, Doris Gottlieb, social chairman 3 and Betty Gibbs, historian. Mrs. Blood is our kind and patient adviser. The first activity of the year was the Yankee Doodle Minstrel pre- sented December 11, 1943, which contained many fine numbers and got the seniors off to a good start. The party held for the Junior and Senior classes was next on the program. This was held December 23 in the gym, which was appropri- ately decorated with Christmas trees and colored lights. Music for this occasion was again furnished by Ralph Palumbo's orchestra. Second Fiddle, directed by Miss Oliver, was the final presentation of the Senior Class of '43. This was a three-act farce about a man who found himself married to a girl he didn't even know, only three days before his wedding was to take place. Betty Herman, as the flanceeg Ted Salmon, as the man, Jeanette Knight, as the girl he marries, kept the audience wondering what would happen next. Supporting roles were held by Leon Helt, Betty Gibbs, Alys Reese, Margaret Stening, Shirley Hosking, and Howard Bullock. Last, but not least, was the Senior Prom held in May. This meant even more to us than to any other class, for We knew that many of the boys would soon be leaving for the armed forces. Though we may travel far, and be separated from each other, per- haps forever, always will we remember our happy days spent in the halls of Port Jervis High School. ll Junior Cheerleaders Chief Cheerleader, Antoinette Stellato. Senior Cheerleaders Left to right: Betty Herman, Frances Swinton, Phyllis Seidler, Bedie Gouchenour, Chief Cheerleader, Patty Lowery, Yvonne Travis, Barbara FI'661'. Appreciation to Advertisers Again, as in the past, the business and professional men of our city have generously responded to the aid of the Senior Class. Their assistance has helped to make our yearbook an outstanding success. As we depart from these halls, we leave our sincerest thanks to these subscribers for their cooperation during our senior year.
