The largest Senior class was in 1943, when one hundred eleven students graduated. Our high school was firstly established in the old frame building with H. A. Menser as the only faculty member. In 1920 the school moved to the newly completed yellow brick building which is now the Cairnbrook Grade School. ln September, 1922, Mr. L. S.

The last ften room additionl was built in 1937. Our curriculum has been extended to in- clude the vocational courses fShop, Home Economics, Agriculture, the fine arts, sports. and organized activitiesl. May Shade Township High School continue to expand in structure, curriculum, student scholarship, and loyalty until Shade is one of the most noted schools. nf Staff Five The Senior Class of '45 accepts this chal- lenge in behalf of all classes succeeding the class of '3U. We are confident that those who take our places will continue the tradition and carry her standards even higher.

To the teachers who guided us, helped with our problems, and inspired us to make the most of our educational opportunities and our several abilities, we dedicate this section ot our book. Shade Township HARRIS REITZ President Board of Education HARRY LEHMAN FRANK SHAFFER IAMES M. MILLER Vice-President Secretary Treasurer EARL BECKER ARCHIE MANGES CLARENCE OTT Eighi MR. L. S. WILLIAMS A. B. and M. A. Bucknell University University of Pittsburgh Mr. Williams is so much like everyone else, yet so different. He is companionable, friendly, sympa- thetic, helpful and understanding: yet reserved, dis- tinguished and outstanding. His competence and sin- cere interest in us, and our problems, has won our deepest admiration. As we, the Senior class, are about to lose his inspiring influence and considerate advice, we sincerely say that we appreciate all his I efforts and work. - A successful modern school should improve the pupils mentally, physically, and morally. The minds of the boys and girls of school age should be trained to discriminate be- tween desirable .and undesirable knowledge as well as how and where to find those facts which are beneficial in living a helpful and happy life. A keen and alert mind usually demands the support of a healthy body. The latter should be developed by careful observance of proper regulations in eating, sleeping, cleanli- ness, and exercise. Such regulations which lead to temperance in all habits of living, should be taught not only in health and physi- cal education classes, but also in each and every class and organized club which is spon- sored by the school. A keen mind and a healthy body must be molded with a strong determination to proper- ly use one's talents and accumulated knowl- edge. This combination makes the student's character and determines his or her value to the world. Each school director, supervisor, and teach- er should continually strive to guide our youth toward the development of such an ideal character. The members of the graduating class of 1945 have spent nearly their entire high school career under conditions imposed by World War II. This has, to some extent, diminished their educational opportunities and has shroud- ed their environment with uncertainty. How- ever, they have faced these obstacles with un- bowed heads and are preparing to make the best of what the future holds for them. America has been made greaf by Wise, stout-hearted people. These young men and women are Americans. MR. L. S. WILLIAMS Supervising Principal Nine PERCY L. CABLE B.

His ad- vice and judgment is sound tor it is given because he knows so from experience. IANET G. KIMBALL B.

We, the Seniors, will remember how our teachers have done their best to educate us. Many of them we have not had as class instructors since Freshmen or Sophomore days. But long will all our teachers, who have been our guides, advisors, and friends during these four years, be outstanding in our minds. llur Slzlmnl Secretary Everyone knows our efficient school secre- tary as Emma, but a few do not know that she is Mrs. Pete Barta, Wife of our former secre- tary. Emma is always around, helping with some extra work. This year she's been kept busy filling out the applications of the many boys leaving for service. Taking notices around to the rooms, delivering the mail, typ- ing, helping the students and teachers are only a few of the jobs that fill every hour of her school day. She rode to school on the Highway bus and no one ever felt that she was anything but one of us.

The Juniors Entertain Turkey Prom, indeed! This big time Thanks- giving pqrty was Friday night, November l7. Dancing was to be the gay and quick hit songs from the jukebox rented for the evening. White Christmas made its 1944 holiday Shade debut, and was welcomed with much thought set to soft dancing. A catchy modern- ized Pilgrim floor show was a limelight. A preacher, alias a to be 1946 alumni, gave Woodman Spare That Tree with slight and silly, but noted changes in the lyrics. The Woodman, tree, wind, and grass were just more juniors. Piano accompaniments were giv- en to the swooner senders who sang out. Dance With the Dolly, Time Waits for No One, and Stairway to the Stars. A lively polka played on an accordian set the rest of the Pilgrims a modern-dancin' A hilarious monotone gobble speech was given. After this, lucky winners of the turkey and chicken were Violet Boyer and Mrs. Blake. Tom Calla- han was doorprize winner. After intermission ice-cold soda, delicious cupcakes, and big red apples were served un- til it was impossible for the Thanksgiving dancers to eat any more. Then dancing con- cluded this top evening of fun. Eighth Grade Election This year the eighth grade elected class officers and StudenttCouncil members. This is I . the first time in the history of our school that the eighth grade has done this. The three sections met in October with Mr. Baldwin as sponsor and held an election in which they chose Ierome Donley, Presidentg Mildred Southern, Vice-Presidentp Virginia Iohnson and Virginia Iohnson were appointed Student Council members. In November they decided on the class flower-the American Beauty Rose and the colors-Blue and Gold. Happy Hearts Party a Hit On February 9, the Sophomores held a Valentine Party in honor of the Seniors. The party goers, all dressed in their very best, enjoyed the romantic slow dances and the energetic jitterbug music. After a short intermission, refreshments of Dixie ice cream cups, grape punch, and heart shaped cookies were served by the refreshment committee. A floor show, the main feature of the evening, was presented when the basketball boys re- turned from a Victory over Stoystown. This floor show was a presentation of Sophomore talent. Myrna Cable was the announcer of the program. Ioan Kiser dressed in a pink eve- ning gown sang, Always and I Dream of You. David Kipp presented two humorous country talesp a trio-Edward Kravchak, Neil Lambert, and Bob Decker vocalized, I'rn a Villain , Helen Bolish, our glamorous singer, thrilled her audience with, l'm a Little On the Lonely Side, and There Goes That Song Again 5 there were two piano solos, Blue Moon, played by Maryan 'Williamson, and Tonight We Love, played by Eva Manges. and Ann Louise Beal and Helen Roberts in their own little sailor outfits, Accentuated the Posiitve, in their own little way. Colored lights flashed over the floor, as couples danced under the arc for the moonlight dances. As the guests reluctantly departed from the cozy at- mosphere, finality was less depressing be- cause of the encouraging strains of the record- ing, Until Tomorrow. Class of 1946 Get Rings In November, the juniors ordered their Class rings from the Herff-jones Company. A novelty about the choice was that every Iunior got the same type of ring with the crest of the school set on top of the solid gold base. Although not expected until Ianuary, the neat and attractive finger glisteners were de- livered before Christmas vacation. In the fol- lowing weeks the juniors proudly showed their sparkling rings to anyone at anytime. Forty Two Activities We reserve the following tor our activities which we teel have done more as a social builder to us than anything else we have endeavored. Cooperation, leadership, and greater appreciation have been taught us by Shade's activities. To you, the underclassmenlwe wish to emphasize this tact, tor we lcnow that we can count on you to continue their support and to make them even stronger organizations. ,.q. .2 idl e ig, ,iq t Front Row-Mary Lou Muro, Helen Kutsmeda, Melroy Wirick, Wanda Cable, Steve Evano, Thomas Young, Elizabeth Gardosik, Tillie Domogola.

Inset-Bob Kritzer. lilur Student liuuulzil The completion of several major and wholly appreciated Student Council projects under the guidance of President Steve Evano not only silenced every remaining cynic who has ever voiced disapproval of the council but convinced them as well that it is henceforth a permanent Shade institution. Our first school-wide Council election for President proved that the Council has ful- filled the students expectations. The Council-sponsored Assembly program, t Forty Four a novel presentation of Council do's and don't proved hilarious but also had a serious aspect. The Council was composed of fifteen mem- bers, five class presidents and two chosen members from each grade, from the eighth to the twelfth. When President Evano left for the Army, the Council decided that a few months previous to the end of every school term a Iunior should be elected president so that he might gain experience for his term of office. Student Council Campaign and Election A miniature demonstration of democracy was evident during our campaign and election for the Student Council president. At the first meeting on October 4 of the regular Student Council, nominations were made by the council members only. The nom- inees were Bob Kritzer, representing the Pro- gressive Party, and Steve Evano, representing the Students Party. Tony Lichvar served as Bob Kritzer's cam- paign manager, and Iohn Stine was campaign manager for Steve Evano. Each day new signs advertising the merits of the two candidates were posted in every available space. Inauguration The Student Council sponsored the Senior High Assembly on October 25. The program was educational, the purpose being to intro- duce the newly-elected president of the Stu- dent Council and, by means of a clever drama- tization, to portray the true meaning of Student government. Bob Kritzer, candidate of the Progressive Party, introduced the Students' Party successful candidate, Steve Evano, President of the Stu- dent Council. In his introductory speech, Bob said: This is perhaps the first time in the his- tory of the world that one presidential candi- date is introducing his more successful oppo- nent. It is also the first time that the loser of a campaign has felt such genuine good feel- ings toward his opponent. The President of Student Council is about to give his inaugural address. For good sportsmanship, for strong leadership, and for a friend of everybody, I present your Student Council President- Steve Evano. Steve's inaugural address in full follows: Mr. Williams, Students, and Teachers: I hope that I shall be able to live up to the responsi- bilities you have placed in my hands. For your votes, I thank you. For my duties, I need and ask not only your confidence but also your suggestions. When I first became interested in Student Council, we did not even have such an organi- zation. I like the idea of students governing themselves, but I clearly saw that complete freedom would only result in confusion. I also saw that the students could gain more freedom by disciplining themselves. I was puzzled a long time. I decided that only On election day, October 19, the polls were open at 8:30 in the morning and during the noon hour. Seventy-nine per cent of the stu- dents voted, keeping members of the election board busy until the last minute. Before the day was over, everyone knew Steve Evano was the victorious candidate. The value of this election to each student can scarcely be es- timated. This challenge to future Seniors: May you always benefit from and continue in all your organizations the democratic spirit demon- strated during this year's Student Council Election and Campaign. at Shade through slowly proving our own worth can we gain complete freedom. I hope that the stu- dent body will realize that we cannot handle complete freedom right away. We shall earn our way to more power by handling different school activities: The Lost and Found De- partment, football tickets, establishment of a permanent stage crew, and art properties' representatives. These are the things we have already tackled. We have had splendid co- operation, but we cannot let one project go wrong. We are trying to build faith in the Student Council. We want everyone to com- ment, 'When the Council takes over some- thing. it is sure to succeed.' Already the teachers have noticed the ad- vantage of the Council. They have proposed many new ideas to us. We have had to refuse them because we must progress slowly. It takes time to persuade a student to put away his own foolishness, his teachers' annoyance, his silly pranks. It takes time to convince a student that he will gain more freedom by disciplining himself. 'As your Student Council President, I wish to say that I am no teachers' pet. I ask no favors from the office. I wish to represent you in a way which will gain more freedom for us all. A school 'of, by and for' the students is the Council's motto. I stand to serve you. A classroom scene took place on stage, the participants being a group of Shade's prankish and popular students who gave a mass presentation of school tricks, thereby dis- playing' the wrong idea of student government. A grand finale showed, however, that Stu- dent Council meant fun and laughter as well as disciplined order.

Forty Six A visit to the engravers Young authors Photographers in picture Making the skeleton Annual Staff Visits Engravers What an interesting trip the Shadonian staff. had when they visited the engravers' and printers' offices in Iohnstown, on November 18. As curiosity seekers usually ask many ques- tions, the staff was just that and did just that. Their numerous inquiries were answered im- mediately and with full explanation. Walking through dark passages to get into a brightly lighted room was one of the most fascinating experiences. The eager staff saw the processes involved. in etching, and the finished product of an etcher. The photographer showed them through his office and explained the types of film used in photography for different purposes and showed them how a picture is taken, how it is developed, dried, and enlarged. Those attending of the staff were: Mr. Trimeloni, Mark Burke, Charles Wagner, Pearl Rajtik, Arlene Wagner, Elizabeth Magnone, Vanda Iohnson, Beatrice Pilacky, Edward Ference, Nona Gear- hart, lim Williamson, Tony Lichvar, and Sam Kaniuk. All experiences were very new to the students and proved to be interesting as well as educational. Forty Seven tors were chosen.

Hur Band Shade's 1944-45 Band career and energetic activities began at the sparkling Windber- Shade game. The attractive skit at half time and the triumphant march through Windber afterwards started the successful, cooperative, and spirited year of both fun and Work. Snap- py Military Escort beats at half time intro- duced their varied formations-S for Shade, capitals designating the visitors, our own '1-Xlma Mater and the opponents' school songs, field marching, making of serpentines, circles, airplanes with base instruments predominat- ing, and trick forms-on the local gridiron at all home football games. The drum beats at high-tensioned moments during the battles. both gave our boys added encouragement and made Shade's ardent fans yell and cheer louder and more earnestly for a V. During time outs, we all joined in singing, sweetly or hoarsely, as the band blared out It's Shade High School, Our Boys Will Shine Tonight, Rah, Rah! Shade High School, On Shade High Schoo1, and Beer, Beer. for Old Shade High. The enthusiastic group ended the football season with the rest of the school by following the squad to Bedford and making a marked performance. For the band's part of the cager season, the Fifty lighted Shade-Somerset game, February 13. was outstanding. The attraction was the band's heart formation and playing of Let Me Call You Sweetheart which was climaxed by a sweet grade school couple bobbing their heads through valentines and kissing. These music makers supplied the songs for both the Senior and Iunior assemblies from On Shade High School to Alice Blue Gown. The assembly feeling began as we marched into the aud to the quick and stirring notes of Military Escort. At Stoystown's Armistice Day program held at 8:00 P. M., the special Victory selection and numerous marches were featured, follow- ing a period of snappy marching and drill tech- niques. Chosen drill masters thoroughly taught the band the fundamentals. After football season. work on improving tone quality, blending, and sight reading was emphasized. Each mem- ber's accomplishments or improvements over a six weeks period gave him a citation. An important addition to the band was the two arm-bearers and bearers of the American and school flags. The achievements of the band were indeed commendable. The climax of all their accom- plishments was the Spring Concert. First Row-Mildred Southern, Eva Manges, Olga Trimeloni, Helen Chicada, Helen Nestranski.

Throughout this semester the Chorus beauti- fully blended their voices in tour part har- mony to such lovely songs as The Bende- mere's Stream, It Cannot Be a Strange Countree, to a variety of hymns, to patriotic songs, and to Christmas songs, such as White Christmas, and The Shepherd's Christmas Song. Their fine voices and singing ability was displayed in Ave Marie's Stella ' and the dramatization of Little French Clock, which was featured at the Spring Concert. A select chorus group took part in the Minstrel. Miss Critchiield's direction oi the Girls' Chorus did much to reveal hidden singing talent and to increase interest in Shade's vocal field. From this group came the beautiful Girls' Sex- tet-Helen Strongosky, Ioan Kiser, Violet Boy- er, Theresa Zgetts, Helen Bolish, and Mary Catherine Sobeski. These girls sang for Grumpy and Caroline Minstrel. Singing for party entertainment from Accentuate the Pos- itive to Shine On Harvest Moon is due to this energetic, music-loving group. The Harvest Moon Iubilee was sponsored by this chorus. Everyone dressed as farm hands, spent a night of lively dancing. The theme ot this top party was the song Shine On Harvest Moon. This Girls' Chorus Party at- tracted the largest dance attendance in Shade history.

Hur Senior rtists The major aim of the Art Department has been to give as many as possible, of the large number taking art, an opportunity to express themselves instead ot creating artists in a few. We hope that this dormant talent which most people possess may in later life become a stimulus for a hobby, and in some cases a profession. The art classes became more observant of local surroundings which resulted in color- ful pictures of growing corn, interesting min- ing scenes, and intricate drawings of the machinery connected with strip mining. The heavy snow gave terrific settings for unusual scenes, particularly of blowers, large bull- dozers, and plows. The Special Art Class sponsored an As- sembly program thcn showed both seriousness and humor. Mark Burke, taking the part of the art instructor, kept up his standards of drama- tics. Ted Oaks and Ray Iohnson gave some tricky and serious chalk talks. The program was concluded with slides ot favorite students that had been drawn by Ioe Tvardzik. While these were projected on the screen, Agnes Yelovich read original poetry to accompany each slide. In May an exhibit by the Art departments gave an opportunity to a larger number of students to display their work. At this time a number of war relics from the battlelronts were on display.

The members, under the direction of Mrs. Reitz, have clone all the advertising for the football and basketball games, Grumpy, the Minstrel show, parties, and for any of the clubs which needed their help. The posters that these students made were all neat, some flashy, and some just the need- ed eye-catchers.

Mark Burke starred as Grumpy, a retired English criminal lawyer. We'II not forget his humorous gripping about the ditter- ing, aottering fool servants as he Went about solving the mystery of the missing Lawson diamond. During a short affection spree be- tween Susan and Ernest, the camelia that Susan wrapped with a hair and then pinned on her admirer became the prime clue in the search for the stolen gem. Lights went out, dying screams were heard, and laughter sky- rocketed as the true love affairs of which Grumpy was well aware had been going on between Ernest and Virginia, Susan and Keble. In true English style, love, suspense, and laughter hit the heights of this, the first mystery-comedy to be presented by Shade students.

COACH KIPP COACH MILLER Shade ....... Shade ....... Shade ...... Shade ...... Shade ...... Shade ...... Shade .......... Shade ............. Total ..... Mr. Kipp, noted for the big smile that lights his stocky features, had charge of football, basketball, track, and the physical education program. Physical fitness was uppermost in his mind and his ideas were first put into operation when football started. We realize that Coach Kipp, along with our group of experienced well-built athletes, was responsible for Shade's successful sports year. A coach's skillfulness in man- euvers, his body building emphasis, his use of psychology truly build a team. Our thank to you, Coach, and our wishes for better teams and coaching. Mr. Miller, coach of the Iunior Varsity gridders, got the boys ready for Shade's future first string. The two Somer- set B games that Coach Miller's boys played definitely prove their force and capability. It was through Coach Miller's ef- forts while Mr. Kipp was in the army last winter, that Shade's basketball team started up the ladder of success. Mr. Miller handled the I. V. basketball games this season. He always stole the show with his mastery of trick shots at games during times out. A firm believer was he that: Molecules and atoms construct a body, but smiles and laughs keep it in sway. Yes. Mr. Miller was a strong part of our coaching.

All the crowd would go wild! At last he streaked across the goal line as though he was the Streamline Ex- press pulling into Grand Central Station. LICHVAR: The hardest blocker and tackler on the team. His reverse pass to Kritzer was a head- ache for Shade's opponents. Putski was one of the smallest men on the team. He made up in fight what he lacked in size. He was changed to different positions on the team, but was an excellent gridder no matter where he played. BISZICK: Whack! Hector hit the line and drove the ten more yards for first downs. He would stand up with a shy smile. He also bounced those tacklers. EVANO: Steve is one of the fellows that was seen but not heard when he played football. Rushing, tackling, blocking describe Evano as a player. Body breaking blocking was Steve's specialty and open the road before you travel it was his motto. NAGY: In and out he went, the goal line seeped upp then he was over! Small but mighty. Al- ways on his toes and ready for anything that looked tough. Fire shot out of his eyes when someone pulled a dirty trick. STINE: Hike! One! Two! Three! Four! Stine barked out the signals and then the team flew into action. He led the Way for the ball carrier. He was a vicious blocker, for down went the fellow who got in his way. HOYECKI: The idea of just coming out for practice and tossing the pigskin around gave Bill satis- faction. We won't remember him as a superb player, but we will know that he was a fellow who really loved football. SHAFFER: Coach will never regret having said yes when Buck coaxed him to be allowed to go out for football in his Senior year. Buck was tough and had force. What a great tackler he could have been with three earlier years of practice. For even with his inexperience he earned a letter. POLLOCK: Steve went out for football late in his Iunior year. He was not robust, but he had the stuff that makes a good football player. In his Senior year Steve was a reliable substitute who made up for what he lacked in experience and weight, with what is commonly called plenty of fortitude. CHUPEK Mike rushed around end and socked the ball carrier behind the line of scrimmage. He was a tackler. Many times he changed po- tential touchdown runs to 5 yard losses. He fought hard for Shade.

Coach Lee Kipp's gridders did the trick in such a manner as to leave no doubt about which was the better team. There were no strings attached to their hard earned victory, as they marched 88 yards for their first touch- down in the opening quarter and then blazed an 82-yard path to the end-zone after the sec- ond quarter began. Three times in the second half, Coach Kipp's Townshippers broke up Ramble efforts to advance by intercepting passes, recovering a fumbled ball, and on a fourth occasion by taking the ball on downs on the Shade 37.

Sixty Nine Uur thlntit: Eluh The Athletic Club of Shade Township High School was formed in 1942. The purposes for organization were to further the cause of athletics in Shade Township High School, to contribute to the success of our school, and to provide awards to the basketball players- the cagers' Blue and Gold jackets. The original club began with a capital of 515.00 donated by a citizen, the club members always try to end each year with that as a minimum lor the next year's club. Membership was confined to students who were out for any athletic team, which re- sulted in an all-boy organization. Since mem- bers must maintain a satisfactory standard of scholarship, worthy students were encouraged to participate in athletics and to remain in school. . A Varsity-Alumni basketball game follow- ed by an entertaining dance to all late hit records with both girls and boys cuttin ' in, making it an interesting night, was spon- sored by the club. Athletic Coach Kipp and Assistant Coach Miller were co-sponsors. The members ot this club are: Walter Kus- merka, Roy Zimmerman, Andy Shima, Victor Hoyecki, Frank Yuko, Frank Grohosky, Andy Stroka, Robert Kritzer, George Biszick, Tony Lichvar, Iohn Stine, Steve Evano, Ioseph Nagy.

Although the school spirit in Shade has always been high, this year the enthusiastic vocal support of our players was outstanding. Students and faculty promoted it one hundred per cent. Our first pep meeting, prior to the Windber game, comprised the largest and loudest crowd ever gathered in the auditorium to shout the Shade Locomotive and to sing Rah, Rah Shade High Schoo1. The rallies, too, dis- played our enthusiasm and sincere effort in supporting our aggressive contestants. Our participation in this all-out spirit was well rewarded by our football team's will to Win, not only once but five times, and by the bas- ketball team's victories. Concentrated hours of practice made our cheerleaders doubly competent in the leader- ship of cheers for our Blue and Gold, and in the singing of our beloved school songs. Work- ing diligently to develop a co-ordinating group, they have earned our commendation for the enthusiastic school spirit which was shown. Often we thought the Alka Seltzer that we yelled so energetically would really be needed for an opponent. Of course, in addition to the Alka Seltzer cheer, there were others Whose sayings were just as cute and catchy. Who can forget those ringing cheers, Ri-rah- rah-ri, Mercury-Hercules, High-high-high, and Come on Blue, fight, fight, fight, all favorites of Shade's football fans? Next year our capable captain, Pearl Rajtik, will be replaced by Russell Fetters, under whose competent leadership it is hoped that the underclassmen will carry on the present sportsman-like spirit of Shade.

Tn Uur Athletes To our sports and athletic participaters we reserve this page for the congratulations which the deserve. Our football team this year was one of Shade's best. It was strong, aggressive, well co- ordinated, and fought with a determination to Win. The undying spirit was revealed on every player's face as he anxiously, cautiously watched the opposing fellow he was to overtake the second the signal was given. There was a motivating force behind those boys. What it Was, only they know. They stuck with it and fought to the finish. That's the type of fighting spirit we have and want to keep. Who will ever forget Biszick's unconquerable attitude as he tried over and over again to fight with an injured shoulder, Evano's strong fortitude in driving his op- position and keeping them back: the Kritzer-Lichvar, running and blocking combination which took the ball over the goal so many times: Stine's quarterbacking and sticking with it despite the fact that he had two of his ribs cracked in the first game of the seasonp Chupek's hard, force- ful blockingg and Nagyfs quick maneuvers? This describes just a fractional part of what those boys did. There were many knocks and bangs that they got which they wouldn't think of telling. They knew how to take it! Those boys already mentioned were Seniors of the Varsity team. There were others Whose spirit and fight was just as vigorous and overwhelmingly centered. Take Wolonosky, those knocks he got Weren't baby-taps, they were the real sockeroog Taub didn't stand and take it either, he drove and drove hardy Supra didn't set the boys back two and three yards by standing there, don't let anyone tell you he did either, and Kutsmerka's urge to win wasn't whittled down by a few setbacks, he pulled himself together and pushed through. Oravec, Nosel, Pollock,'Brumbaugh, Bedois, Mishko, Shaffer, Huston, Hoyecki, Letosky, Kortuck, and Raj- tik, everyone of them are to be congratulated for ttheir fine sportsmanship and work! Now for our coaches-Under the supervission of Kipp and Miller the team started working with clocklike precision which really made the end, a successful season, The greatest pride that existed in the Coaches, came to surface when the team made out a glorious V over Windber, the first in four years. To the football managers, Thomas Trimeloni and Fred Wagner, and the basketball man- ager, Andy Stroka, we extend our thanks for their uncredited work for our teams. Our spectacular football season which concluded on November 3, was followed by an equal- ly dynamic basketball schedule. The cagers faced their biggest obstacle, the drifting snows, with little enthusiasm for they knew it would mean postponement of games. That did not show any slack in their determina- tion to win when the games were played. Their vim and vigor and enthusiasm were over- powering. The sporting spirit of Kritzer, Nagy, Grohosky, Huston, Chupek, Brumbaugh, Thompson, Gloviak, Rice and Fetsko is to be commended. lt was an all-out effort to put Shade over. Then there is also the new addition to our sports make-up-track-who have we here to mention? None other than those top notch boys of football and basketball-Biszick, Kritzer, Lich- var and Brumbaugh. We might give these boys an extra hand and call them human dynamos. They went on and on converting their energy into what they thought and hoped would be pleasing and satisfying to usp and this they really did accomplish. We hail all these amicable dynamic boys with the high-tensioned spirit. Shade's undying spirit for sports will continue with as much enthusiasm and mass sup- port as has been displayed by the records ofour school and its athletic contenders.

That's what happened when the miniature Dixie Dandy Circus visited the Shade Aud. on November 8th. Yaka , the baboon, balanced himself on a ball which he rolled the length of the stage. Bobo , the chimpanzee, dressed in navy blues, walked on stilts. Trusty , intelligento, proved the ability of dogs by choosing colors and numbers that Mr. Hawkins, the director, wanted. Three other dogs jumped through hoops, seesawed ,and rode the loop-o-plane. Through the performance Mr. Hawkins gave a personal history of each animal. The cir- cus was enjoyed by students from the first grade to the Seniors and was a special treat to lean Ankeny and Iim Pollock who helped with the egg disappearing act.

This year's officers were: President, Mary Ann Balyag Vice-President, Mary Mah- lerg Secretary, Nancy Vespap Treasurer, Leah Naugle. Tribute to One of Our Wounded Home room 12-A regrets the loss of its fullback George fHectorl Biszick. It was through his efforts that Shade has won many games. It will be because of his fine spirit that we will win games of the future. This, written on Mrs. Kimball's board October 5, was proved true. Autographs filled the board rapidly, not for long was it, IZ-A regrets, but all Iuniors and Seniors had signed in ad- miration of our 185-pound fullback and to show regret for his loss. The Windber battle of September 15, 1944 was the game in which Hector's shoulder was injured. That didn't stop him from playing his part in the Iohnstown B game. The necessary tape and neat bandages definitely didn't ob- struct his spirit. Hector encouraged the other eleven against the Portage team. As a line- man, George spent the Franklin game. He was in the hospital during the Somerset game but his spirit predominated. The boys throughout the season fought to win as much for Hector as for the school. What surprise, faith, and glory shone the night of November 3 for Hec- tor got to play Bedford, the last game. Hall0we'en Party The witches rode low and the black cats meowed that dark night of October 28th as the halloweeners crowded into the Shade Auditorium. Masked and unmasked they came, all filled with the spirit of Halloween. Once in, they forgot all their fears and fell right in with Sammy Kaye's swing and sway from the phonograph. Masquerade prizes were giv- en to Shirley Berkstresser, the prettiest, Peg- gy Bowser and Carol Lee Metz, the most origi- nal, and Iay Ankeny, the funniest. George Becker and Helen Nestranski were awarded the pie from the Pumpkin Pie Walk. During the intermission everyone headed for the cider barrel and pretzel can. Yum-yum, was it good! Suddenly the violins began a-squeaking and the mandolins a-clinking. Yippee! A square dance! All the vigorous students began turn- ing and swirling. Gosh! It was warm. Could it have been the effects of the ci-der? Minutes and hours sped by swiftly for the masquer- aders were filled with dancing, games, laugh- ter, and joking. Then the stroke of eleven sounded, reluctantly the last halloweener de- parted and the last witch flitted away to await another Halloween at old Shade High. Over the Top Our War Bond and Stamp sales this year were divided into three equal groups of 55,000 toward buying a 515,000 training plane. On February 27, we had topped our second goal of Sl0,000. This year, challenges were re- placed by a strong competitive spirit. Sales were recorded on a bright blue trainer plane poster which was presented to the heaviest contributing room, that was usually seen in Mr. Miller's home room, No. 1. The last week, Miss Lehman's room made a quick jump to lead. The rooms with 100 per cent sales re- ceived miniature card board trainer planes for exhibiiton. Miss Maurer's room reported the most frequent l00 per cent weekly sales. The sales ran thus: A Seventy Nine Seniors Go To College Three of Shade's Senior boys that passed the Air Corps screening test early in the fall accepted the ARSTP college course. Andy Kotzar and Edward Ference started their classes at Penn State on March 7, while Ed- ward Kawala reported to Pennsylvania Mili- tary Academy for his training. Sylvan Ankeny Enlists On November 16, the Senior class bade farewell to their first army inductee of the year, Sylvan Ankeny. Sylvan enlisted in the Air Corps near the end of his lunior year and had been awaiting his call to report. During his school years, Sylvan generally was found in the very front seat, due to alphabetical order. Because of his flirta- tious grin, Sylvan was especially liked by his classmates. Having been a member of the choir and the Boys' Chorus since seventh grade, Sylvan had long been noted for his singing. He continued his musical inclination by joining the choir at Keesler Field, Mississippi, where he took his basic training. Another Senior In Navy On Friday, February 23, another Senior, Ioe Nagy, a football and basketball star, passed his physical test for the Navy. On the following day he took the Navy oath and was awaiting his induction within thirty days. Two Seniors Leave In January for Armed Services Steve Evano and Ioe Milavec, two of our popular Senior shop boys, left Ianuary 22 to serve our country in the Infantry. Steve was well known as President of the Student Council and guard on the Varsity foot- ball team. He also was Athletic Club President and member of the '44 track team. Ioe was popular because of his quietness, politeness, and intelligence. Both took the Industrial Arts course and enjoyed the periods spent in the Shop making new pieces of furniture. Three Seniors and Two Juniors Leave On Thursday, February 8, two Seniors. George Becker and Iohn Muha, and a Iunior, Mike Postoskie left Shade High School to serve our country. Also at the same time, a Iunior, Carl Larson, and a Senior, Bob Hop- pert, passed their Navy tests. George .Becker was assigned to wear the Navy blue, while Postoskie and Muha marched to the Infantry. Tryzok Leaves Our Shade football team ran into one of it's greatest obstacles of the season when they lost Ioe to the armed forces in Septem- ber. He was a potential football star who made the team in his Freshman year. The fullback spot was filled very capably with his huge frame and driving power. He was a tough and rugged sportsmen who loved a vigorous game. Ioe took his basic training at Camp Ioseph T. Robinson in Arkansas. We all pay tribute to Ioe and hope that he accom- plishes his bigger and tougher game of plunging Hitler and Tojo behind the goal line.

Mrs. Biss Mrs. Carl Biss from Central City, Pa., has been one of the newest additions to our school personnel. For the first time in the history of Shade Township High School, we have a lady filling the man-sized job of truant officer. In addition to being truant officer, Mrs. Biss, friendly and helpful, has also acted as school nurse, caring for the students who became suddenly ill in school and passing out ana- cins 'to those suffering from minor ailments such as a headache. We sincerely appreciate all Mrs. Biss has done for us and the school. Mrs. Williaman Comes To Shade Mrs. Treatise Williaman entered our high school after the Christmas vacation to be the Iunior and Senior English teacher, filling Mrs. Kimball's vacancy. Mrs. Williaman, known to her teacher friends as Treat, comes from Somerset. She attended Westminister College. Having taken over the teaching of com- positions, speech-making, book report writing, grammar, and literature which was left un- finished, Mrs. Williaman proved to be a friend and helper besides a good teacher. Mr. Sloane Pours Air On Group Mr. Iohn Sloane, a graduate of Duke Uni- versity, presented an interesting and educa- tional program of Liquid Air wonders to the high school students on Ianuary 19. Mr. Sloane, using the necessary and novel equipment, along with his experience as a scientist, teacher, and lecturer, made it pos- sible for him to entertain the students with an outstanding program on the wonders of Liquid Air. He further added to the unbroken atten- tion of his audience by generously spicing his performance with appropriate humor. After briefly explaining the history and use of liquid air, Mr. Sloane showed how the liquid could be used to freeze fruits lvery solidlyl, make kerosene candles, fry eggs on ice, run a steam engine, and make a steel wire burn. He threw the Liquid Air on the astonished students in the front rows. Although evaporation took place too quickly, toward the end of the pro- gram, some liquid did frost the clothing of a few front-seaters. Frozen grapes thrown out to the audience and examined by more curious people were found to be solid. The students were indeed sorry when Mr. Sloane's program was concluded. Worst in 54 Years Because it was their graduating year, the Seniors, especially, shall remember the long and hard 1944-45 winter. The first blisterly snow vacation came the week of December 13-15. Grumpy, against his wish, was post- poned. The Seniors' to-be trip to Somerset just wasn't. On Ianuary 2, when school was to Eighty One start after the holiday season, another deep snow gave us one day longer to bring in the New Year. The basketball boys were hit hardest by the drifting deeps. On and on the snow holidays Went: Ianuary 25, 26, Feb- ruary l, 5, 6. Even the Commencement date was changed. Making up school on Saturdays was discussed. Minstrel Show Was Record Production On March 16 the Carolina Minstrel was presented to the large, anticipating audience in the Shade Auditorium at 8:00 P. M. It was the second minstrel to be presented by the students in the hope of making such a pro- gram an annual affair. The opening chorus-a medley of Carolina moon songs- Carolina Moon, How I'd Love to Be in Carolina, and Carolina in the Morning was modified by the large orange moon in the background which slowly rose to its full beauty and shone forth in a most inspiring way as the chorus sang the soft melodies. Tony Lichvar acted the part of Interlocutor for the many witty gags and jokes that the endmen pulled on each other. For the first song after the chorus' opening, Charles Brum- baugh with his darkened face sang, l Wasn't Scared fBut I lust Thought I had Better Golf' Then Helen Bolish accompanied by a trio sang, I'm Confessin'. The next song was by End- man George Sura-- You Missed a Doggone Good Man When You Overlooked Me. Again there Was a medley of moon songs, this time accompanied by pantomimes: Shine On Har- vest Moon, My Sweetheart, the Man in the Moon, and Moonlight and Roses. Two of the main features of the evening followed with the Girls' Sextet, dressed in cowhand clothes and standing behind a real fence, singing, Don't Fence Me In to the music of the Six Shades, and four girls in Bell Bottom trou- sers and sailor blouses danced the Horn Pip- er's Dance. Following was Endman Bob Kritzer's song, Ding, Ding, Ding, Here Comes the Wagon. Another feature was an accor- dian solo played by Iohn Flack of the grade school. The whole chorus singing, Pan Handle Pete had the audience in an uproar with the dramatic shootin' and killin' of poor old Pete. Endman Bob Thompson gave a humorous talk- ing song, Movie Picture Man, that had everyone holding' his sides. Again the sextet sang--this time, the heartlifting song, Thra, Lura, Allura. Lee Small, playing a bass horn solo, gave another added feature, followed by the vocalist solo of George Biszick, and later Endman Llewellyn Kenno song. Denton gave out These Wild, Wild Women fAre Making a Wild Man of Mel. A slidin' trom- bone solo by Genevieve Greathouse was out- standing. A chorus medley about the sea- sons was acted out. Then the endmen to- gether vocalized, Ain't We Crazy. For the grand finale the entire cast joined together in singing We're On Our Way ffthe Infantry Song l and There'll Be a Hot Time in the Town of Berlin.

Spring Concert Given The Band, Orchestra, Girls' Chorus, and Mixed Chorus, climaxed their year's efforts in a Spring Concert held in May. The program gave the parents a chance to see Shade's progress in musical accomplishments through- out the year. Mr. Fluke and Miss Critchfield were co-directors of the program. Eighty Two The beautiful selections skillfully rendered by the Orchestra were: Symphonic Over- ture, Southern Melodies, Elves Dance. The Band, decked out in their snappy uni- forms made the Auditorium ring with the Stars and tSripes Forever, Whistler and His Dog, and Going Home. The melodious Girls' Chorus sang Ave Maris Stella, The Little French Clock, It Cannot Be a Strange Countree, and the well-trained Mixed Chorus sang the lively Rus- sian folk song Volinka, and Beautiful Sav- iour with George Biszick doing the solo, ac- companied by the boys soprano. Christopher Meets Eleanor You probably all have heard the story of Christopher Columbus. Here's the modern ver- sion of that story. Once upon a time, the shape of the world was a hotly debated question. Today, as everybody knows, it's in a helluva shape. But back in l492, a young drug store cowboy in Spain named Christopher Colum- bus had an idea that the World was round. He had just paid his income tax and didn't have enough money to buy a box of syn- thetic dandruff for his wig, let alone enough to finance a trip to America. He was shoot- ing pool at Ioe's one day when an idea struck him. What about Queen Isabella? She was lousy with dough. Maybe she'd stake him. He hurried to the palace and found Queen Isabella sitting on her throne playing with a yo-yo. Hi. Queenie, Chris chirped, How about making a touch? I want to make a trip to America, Chris explained, and at the same time, I could get Hedy Lamarr's auto- graph. Sorry, Chris, I'm broke, the queen sighed. I put every dime I had on a nag at Belmont Park named HELLCAT. He came in so late he Won the next race. But Chris wasn't an easily discouraged chap and besides he belonged to the National Wolfing Union. He slipped his arm around the Queen's waist and drew close to her face, and whispered, You could hock the crown jewels. The pawnshop doesn't close till six o'clock on Wednesdays. It's a deal, said the Queen. What have I got that gets you? asked Chris. Halitosis, Isabella replied. The next day Chris and his trusty crew boarded his snappy ship. Through his tele- vision set he bad goodbye to dear Isabella. Gee, how'd you manage to get the gas? one of his Crew asked. Shut up, Chris answered, there might be an OPA man aboard. Chris lay in a deck chair dreaming of the great faraway country. Gee . . . America, he murmured, the land of beautiful girls, high taxes, and no butter. On the third day the crew began to get restless. When are we going to reach Amer- ica? they growled. We should have chartered a plane. Another gob said. What about me? I'm sup- posed to be on this week's HOBBY LOBBY pro- gram and we'll never make it. Chris waved them to silence. After many days Chris and his gallant men spotted land cluttered with billboards. A red neon sign flashed, Welcome to America. Did you bring any Scotch? As the boat drew near the shore, they heard the music of Harry Iarnes, and saw a lone figure clad in white flannels and a white plaid shirt. I'm Chief Rain-in-the-face, he said, and don't think all those people digging in the sand are hunting for gold. They're hunting for cigarette butts. Christ and his men followed the chief to a hotel. Iust then a beautiful Indian girl walked across the lobby. Wow, Chris wowed, Who's the chic? That's Gypsy Rose Lee, said the chief. That evening Chris and his men were enter- tained at a clambake given by the A. F. of L. He posed for a picture with an Indian bubble dancer, smoking the pipe of peace. Chris and his boys finally heaved anchor and left for home laden with Indian trinkets. When the boat hit port, Chris was greeted by the Queen. My hero, she beamed. My sponsor, he drawled. Tell me, she said, is the world really round? I don't knoW, Chris answered, Ask Mrs. Roosevelt. Blanch Trimeloni Class of 1945 Number Thirteen Many people think that number thirteen is an unlucky number, but since my first and only boy friend had thirteen as his number when playing post-office, I think it is a lucky number. He made life strangely thrilling to me. I didn't even want to go to the birthday Eighty Three party where I met him, but I never regretted going when I learned of the eight other girls who were opposing me. Such strenuous com- petition wouldn't have affected me very much if my own cousin, Dorothy, hadn't been one of the eight. Although everyone told me she liked him, I thought she couldn't possibly care for him as much as I did. My girl friends said many times that you couldn't help it when you fell in love. I never believed them until then. Never before did it interest me to hear them describe their feelings when in love. Fay says it seems like soap-suds. Nona thinks it is bubbles. A jelly-like feeling is how Doris describes it. Theresa and Lou agree that it's butterflies. I think it is a wooly worm. I'll never forget that slouchy, indifferent position in which he was standing, how well his brown, curly hair was brushed, and the cur- ious look in his eyes. Every time I hear or see the number thirteen, I am reminded of my first boy friend, and I say to myself, Good luck, you'll need it. Matilda Domogala Class of 1946 Holiday for- Nurses I think the nurses took a holiday after I was discharged from the hospital Tuesday. It all started Friday night when I was hurt playing football at Bedford, which made Coach Kipp think it would be advisable for me to have a few X-rays taken at the Windber hospital. I went down Saturday morning and after the doctor had studied the proofs from the three pictures the nurses had taken, he told me to report to the hospital Sunday morning for further observation. With a sense of distinct feeling of being trapped, I gave in to the doctor's demands. For the first time I was to be a patient in a hospital. At ten o'clock I ar- rived with my little brown leather bag filled with slippers, tooth brush, Colgate tooth paste, comb, maroon satin pajamas, shaving equip- ment, red and wine flowered bathrobe, two Hershey bars, and a pack of Ivoryne chewing gumg in fact, I had almost everything packed but my little dog, Drex, whom, Mother care- fully persuaded me, would not be welcomed at the hospital. With resentment and defiance, I went to the room assigned to me. When the nurse said, Get undressed, I, as forcefully as possible, said No. Glaring at me with football fight in her eyes, she repeated her command. She won that round. Soon another nurse came into my room. Without any com- ment she slid a little glass thermometer into my mouth. This was enough for me. As such in- difference is not tolerated by a first-time patient in the hosital, I decided to pull a fast one. After I had taken the ice bag, which the nurse had brought me, from my eye, I placed it over the thermometer. When she returned to take the reading, she was very surprised to see that my temperature was 470. I told her not to take it so hard, for I just needed a glass of anti- freeze. When she returned again and found me eating the ice from the ice bag, she brought me a new one. I didn't mind that because the new ice cubes were much bigger and colder. By this time, I was beginning to feel like a bottle of Iron City beer, because so much ice was packed around me. After the first day, I decided to do some exploring. The next morning I left my room as soon as the nurse took my temperature. I proceeded very cau- tiously through the narrow corridors to avoid meeting any nurses. But luck just wasnt' with me, because I practically bumped into my own nurse. She stopped me and asked why I had left my room. I told her my wife was confined and I just couldn't bear the suspense any longer. I continued to pace the halls. I stopped the next nurse I saw and asked the direction to the men's ward tl wanted to go visitingl. She told me to proceed down the hall, it was the second door on the right. I followed her directions only to get lost in the laundry room. You know, the place where the color white predominates. I was promptly kicked out with new and more successful di- rections. When I returned to my room, I learned that my nurse had been looking for me at least a half hour. I was then given strict orders not to leave my room under any condition. I soon became very lonely and rang for my nurse. When she came to my room, she inquired what I wanted and explained that she was very busy. I told her that I wanted to talk to some- one, even if it was only she. She became very angry and left without saying good-bye. KI think that some hospitals should teach their nurses better manners.l She must have told the other nurses about me, because the service was very slow when I rang for a nurse after that. I may have done some things that Weren't considered proper while at the hospital, but I don't see why the nurses held both doors open for me when I was discharged.

After then, I won't be begging Stine for the Meyersdale game Writeup, Burke won't be handing me any more adsp Charlie will be happier without me asking for Callen's plate and Reitz's phone numberg Liz won't hear me nag for jokes, per- sonal, pointed, and pertaining to school. Ray and I won't cut, staple. cut, staple, read, and then staple for four hours at a time. I won't be writing the Senior Remember Column, col- lecting reports from the literary editors, then edit, check, take to Miss Maurer, recheck. then take to typist. When I see Vanda every fourth period in the library, she won't be shirking me anymore, for I won't have anoth- er list of to-be-written literary needs to be done from Ed Cebron's Writeup, the feature title page, and Mr. Cable's Writeup to the bond finale. Nevermore will Beatrice and Toots be shyly hinting, and necessarily so, that each paper they receive gets harder to decipher. Bill will finally have all the teachers' old plates collected, lim, handing me the last snappy and catchy snapshot page of names will exclaim, At last my rabbits will receive some attention from me. Wanda will not be Wrinkling her nose, for I won't want another title page theme from her. No more will faithful Pearl, inquire, ls everything all right-my Writeups and your work? Tony will have finished his last Senior football boy article. The last copy and recopy of band members and instruments will have been completed by conscientious Mary Shuster. The ever willing Yurkow will never rewrite the ninety Senior Class Will again, and Ed and Nellie Will nevermore top the sub- scription goal. Nona will sleep more soundly knowing that her art worries are over. The gal, Mary, fDaley this timel who has done more errands and odd jobs for the annual than I could ever begin to recall, will not be questioning, Any work for me this eighth period? Even though not on the staff, she has been tops-doing all that work. Bob won't be wanting to read the finished product each hour of each day. And Mr. Trimeloni, a per- fect sponsor, definitely didn't stop with spon- soring, he worked! He won't be coming With something new to do each day. Yes, Thurs- day, March l, is a red letter day for us, since it marks the closing of long hours of hard work and sleepless nights, tespecially for Mr. Trime- loni and the Editor.l But looking back, we find ourselves wondering, Are we really glad or are we sorry that at last this day has come? Arlene Wagner Class of 1945 Memories of Christmas When I was younger, Christmas was the most important time of the year. Christmas eve, all my paternal aunts, uncles, and cousins gathered at Grandma's right after dusk with big boxes of presents. Then we kids went into the cozy living-room to listen to and sing carols while sipping at bitey grapefruit juice. Meanwhile the big folks were in the kitchen sorting the gifts into each person's pile. We kept close watch on the door and when some- one at last, stuck his head into the room and shouted Ready! everyone rushed into the cheerful kitchen where twenty stacks of gaily wrapped packages formed a charming border around the walls. In the middle of the room Grandma's presents were stacked on the table and from there clockwise around the room were youngest to oldest. It was in this order that the gifts were opened. If Tommy or Ernie were slow, we older ones would help them to tear the string or read the giver's name. I was always right beside the one who was getting the gifts at that time, but between turns l'd gaze longingly at the big box on my stack and wonder if it contained the doll I had hoped for. After I had opened mine, I gathered the ones I liked best and joined my cousins in the room Where we examined our new treasures more closely. After mid- night everyone would leave except us four girls who were allowed to stay overnight. After the paper was cleared away, we'd be served big juicy apples, crunchy cookies, and hard candy in animal forms. Iean and I always slept in the room on the porch. This was our favorite room and we liked to tramp over the snowy porch to our air-conditioned bed- room. Once we were under the heavy quilts we didn't mind the wintry air and talked until we couldn't stay awake. Early the next morn- ing We'd be awakened by Virginia and Ioan jumping on our bed. While we dressed, we listened to their chatter about their night, and all of us talked about our gifts. Then we'd go downstairs where Grandma would give us each two oranges for breakfast. After we had eaten, we'd peek into the kettles from which came aromas that made us hungry, and We would help Vernie set the table. That after- noon everyone again gathered at Grandma's for a feast that would have pleased the richest king. After we had eaten too much food, we younger ones would squirm into our snowsuits and go out to play in the snow while our parents sat around the table talking. About four o'clock We had the dessert-ice cream, cake, and candy. Thus a happy day ended with enough enjoyment to last till the next Christmas.

One thing is certain, they will never be made by those who are satisfied to drift in a spirit of contentment that all will be well, nor can they be made by new unwise magic restraining and controlling laws of politicians. Let's beware of magic which confuses and bewilders the people and profits only the tricksters. The advancement of the human family to higher standards of living will only be through the efforts and ability of industrious individuals. Past records of great achievements show they are the results of efforts and ability of individuals who are not the same- yet there is a place and duty for all. Therefore, free people to help to bring about a better and fuller life must not permit laws that stifle incentive but rather demand laws that encourage men to stand on their own feet. The Master did not feed those tired and discouraged fisher- men but encouraged further effort to labor, to have Faith and self-reliance, by saying unto them, 'Cast your net on the other side, and they were rewarded for their labor. This causes one to feel, when all is not well that it might be best to cast his net on the other side and not seek governmental help, thereby restraining the freedom obtained at such a sacrifice. Honest progress should be encouraged because it works for the benefit of all. The greatest force for they material advancement of the human race is lndividualism, free from unwise govern- mental interference. The greatest force for World Peace is the observance of Gods Holy Word. UPPLY C0.

One Hundred Twelve We Are Preurl Te Havelfleen Printers llf During the past two decades we have printed scores of yearbooks for high schools over the country every year. We find great ioy in the finished product, and each individual book is to us something we may look back on with pride for our part in its planning and production. To the editor and staff members, of course, go the credit for individual ideas and composition of the book, to the photographer credit for the fine pictures and to the engraver credit for the halftones and etchings which made possible the reproduction of the pictures, but we hope that we have been at least partially responsible for the good printing which always emphasizes the quality of any fine book.
