And so, we, the graduating class of 1946, have chosen the American Indian as the theme of our annual. This locality is rich in Indian lore. We live in a town whose name is of Indian origin. When our predecessors selected a name for the year- book, they chose the Legend -- a word sug- gestive of the Indian. Moreover, legend and history give us stories of the daring and courage of the Indian. Since We admire these character- istics, we have thought it fitting to adopt the Indian as our symbol that we may be reminded of his admirable qualities and strive to imitate them.

President MODERNO SCIAMANNA . . . . . . Vice President IOYCE HARRISON ..... ..... S ecretary Rocco MILLER . . . . . . Treasurer Senior History men started their high school careers. They knew nothing of high school life and in the first few days spent considerable time getting lost in halls and stairways. This was soon over- come, however, and the class proved to be a very promising one. In -the month of March. they held a program in honor of St. Patrick and all other great men whose birthdays came in this month. In April they appeared once again on the stage and put on an Easter pageant. The girls worked hard at their sewing and the boys at their shop-work, and in May they displayed the fruits of their labor art a P.T.A. meeting in the form of a fashion show and handicraft ex- Ten hibition. At the end of the term the class had dwindled down to 92. After a restful summer vacation 76 students enrolled as sophomores. They held no social events this year. Instead they bent most of their efforts toward gaining knowledge. They were shy, serious sophs -so different from their noisy, bold upperclassmen. Some of the more athletic boys and girls tried out for basketball. thus giving the 'sophs' recognition in the sports' program of the school. These hardworking sophomores left in Iune with a membership of 70. Once again fall came and with it 66 juniors. Early in the school term, class officers were chosen. They were George Viti, president: Frank Kollar, vice president: IoAnn Kelchner, secretary: and Ioyce Harrison, treasurer. Les- sons seemed far less important than they did in the sophomore year. To earn enough money for the annual junior-senior prom was this year's aim. To do this, the juniors first put on a program featuring a hypnotis-t. Later under Mr. Harvey's direction, they produced a com- edy called HTell It To The Marines which proved to be a big hit. It was now time for the biggest event of the year -- the junior-senior prom. The ambitious juniors were determined not to be surpassed in this affair. They under- took to revive the traditional custom of enter- taining the seniors at a banquet preceding the junior-senior prom. This banquet was held at Hotel Sterling in Wilkes-Barre, and a splendid time was had by all. Thus ended another event- ful year in the lives of 63 juniors. Then came the climax. the senior year, and with it 57 veterans of the junior class. Officers were again chosen. George Viti was re-elected as president: Moderno Sciamanna became our vice presidentg Ioyce Harrison, secretary: and Rocco Miller, treasurer. ln the latter part of November, a cast of inspiring young actors and actresses under Miss Martin's direction, gave the audience some fine entertainment in the hil- arious comedy, 'iThe High School Mysitery. lnterscholastic football was revived in S.H.S. in the autumn of 1945, and several husky sen- iors took their places in the line-up. Cheerlead- ers were chosen in a general assembly: five of the seven appointed were from the senior class. From the twirlers, Mary Bloss was selected as drum majorette and Mary Mingoia as head twirler. Next to occupy the attention of the seniors was the Legend, which they vowed would be an outstanding issue. All too soon the high school days of the senior class came to an end. After class night and commencement it was with heavy hearts that they bid farewell to their classmates, teachers, and dear Alma Mater. CHRISTINE BoLiNsKi Class Historian SENIOR TYPISTS CLASS SONG Let us bid farewell To the friends we've known so long, Though we all must part to go our way, let friendship never cease. Let us all recall All our happy days at school, And how we worked one and all to make life's futzzre bright. Let us not forget As our school days fade away All the knowledge gained and friendships made throughout our days at school, So let us face the new world smiling, And calmly take our place Among the friends we worked with in the days gone by. - XNAL'I'ER PETROSKI ALMA MATER High upon the hilltop yonder, Stands our high school true, lt's our dear old Alma Mater, Of the white and blue.

Class Motto - Tonight We Launch-Where Do We Anchor? Class Colors -1 Navy Blue Class Flower -1 Red Rose and Gold Twenty-three Class Prophecy Let us tear the veil that separates the present from the future and let us gaze into the world ten years hence. What goals will have been attained by the graduating class of 1946? Let us see. Living in a penthouse in New York City is Ruth Slusser, the world's greatest comedienne. She has made a fortune telling funny stories over the WOR Sunshine Program . An advertisement in the Chicago Sun says that men may buy cellophane suits made to order at Almond Wolfe's Cello-Suit Company on Michigan Boulevard. The suits are very much in demand since they save wash- ing and cleaning bills. They sell for 517.98 and last a lifetime. Are you looking for a place to eat? Try the Little Cafe A-round the Corner . A good fish dinner costs 35.009 a hamburger sandwich, 51.25, The proprietor is Harold Bilby, former world's welter weight champion. Alice Thomas is chief dietician for the Percy Brown cafeteria. Harriet Keller bakes all the delicious pastries found on the menus. According to the figures released by the latest Gal- lup survey, Day by Day with Elliott, written by Buddy Elliott, is America's most widely read newspaper column. Lorraine Lanning, author of the latest best seller, Ashes of Barbagef' never uses a typewriter.

ADELLA MESSAVAGE Class Prophet Twenty-four Class Will We, the members of the senior class of Shickshinny High School, having arrived at that point in our careers Where Trails Divide , and fully realizing that dangers lurk along the trail, have decided to leave behind us for safe keeping in the hands of our trusted school janitors, Mr. Remaley and Mr. Kingsbury, all our valuable be- longings, to dispose of as follows: To our teachers we leave the hope that they may some day have the privilege of teaching students as well- behaved and intelligent as we have been. To the freshmen we leave a desire that they may fol- low in our footsteps. We realize that our footsteps are big, and that this will be difficult to do: but they can keep trying. To the sophomore class-now who could do any- thing for a sophomore? Sophomores see all, hear all, know all. They need little for our help, so we give them our best wishes. We have pondered long about what we should do about the juniors. We cannot leave them our good looks. for we have none. We cannot leave them a trust fund, for we always found it difficult to get the fund without the trust. We can leave 'them nothing to eat, for we ate everything in sight at the junior-senior banquet. To our Alma Mater we leave our love, our loyalty. and our unfaltering belief that she is the best high school anywhere. Having always been the soul of generosity with either possessions or advice, the seniors wish to bequeath whatever they cherish and hold dear to deserving under- graduates.

The locale is the local high school where the play is being presented. The action takes place on the stage during a dress rehearsal of UThe House of Terror . As the curtain goes up on the first act, Paul Butler, who plays the part of Mr. Mason lRichard Thompsonl, Laura Crowder, who enacts his daughter Lita QChristine Bolinskij, Mary Lee, portraying Aunt Emma fElaine Steeberl, and Dorothy Russell, taking the part of Ienny, the maid lRuth Slusserl, have enter- ed Mr. Mason's ancient mansion. The play proceeds smoothly until Lita screams and faints after being warned by a mysterious voice to leave the cast at once or suffer the consequen- ces. Thinking this to be a prank on the part of some fun-loving member of the cast, the direc- tor, Miss Fielding lAdella Messavagel, and her assistant, Miss Ieffries, fLorraine Lanningl, order the cast to go on with the rehearsal. Before the rehearsal can be resumed, Mrs. Reed lEleanor Czarnomskil walks in and de- mands that her son Victor lGeorge Vitil leave the play. She insists Miss Fielding was using favoritism when she chose Laura instead of her daughter for the role of Lita. Another interrup- tion occurs wifth the arrival of lack Howard QRobert Williamsl, the author of the play, T'he House of Terror . Upon his departure the rehearsal is continued. During a dark scene Laura screams. When the lights are put on, the cast discovers that she has disappeared. Sus- picion falls on Victor, a rival of Earl Sayles iWilliam Colej for Laura's affections. When Victor provides an air-tight alibi, Ioe, the stage manager lBuddy Elliottl, goes for the sheriff, Iason Shaw fHarold Bilbyl. Suddenly a secret panel opens and the author of the play falls out. From this point on, the drama moves very rapidly. Laura is found, Mrs. Reed returns to apologize, a maniac is caught, and Laura and Earl become engaged.

Love Troubles Tommy , a hilarious comedy of adolescence, was presented in the high school auditorium by the junior class on March 21. The plan centers around Tommy Stevens fLouis Princel and his problem of how to raise the money to buy a tuxedo in which to escort Doris Davis fRuth lVlcQuownl to the junior- senior prom. The desire to wear a tuxedo is born when Tommy tries on Cecil Thompson's floseph Balintl, who is escorting Ianice fDoris Rosengrantl -a friend of Tommy's sister Bet- ty fArline Muccij, who is also attending the prom with her boyfriend Phil fRichard Bridlej. Another classmate of theirs who plays a part in the drama is Clara fBetty Malitorisl, a member of the prom committee. With the assistance of his pal George fWil- liam Kesslerl, Tommy tries to hock his more valuable possessions. After fruitless efforts, he diverts part of the money given him by his father flVlillard McKennonl for his cap, gown, and diploma fee to the rental of a tuxedo. As punishment for this misappropriation of funds, his father forbids him to wear the tuxedo to the prom although his mother flVlary Agnes Rem- alyj and his grandmother fElgene Benscoterl think the father is too stern. Then Doris suc- cumbs to the sophisticated charms of a Collegian, Roger Wilson fWarner Moss? and forgets her date with Tommy, who seeing her on her way to the prom with his hated rival engages the latter in a fight. Thus publicly disgraced Tommy absents himself from the prom and seeks solace in running away from home. Before he can get out of town, however, he suffers a minor acci- dent which starts the rumor that he has been drowned in the river-a rumor that stirs the entire town to a pitch of excitement, very grati- fying to Tommy's wounded ego. Retribution for this prank soon overtakes him and puts an end to his career as a cynical fugitive and a disillusioned lover of fickle ladies.

Once a week the strains of beautiful semi- classical songs can be heard in 'the corridors of the Garrison Memorial School as the choir prac- tices under the direction of Miss Frances Ship- man. Ever since its organization, the choir has grown in popularity until it is now by far the most popular group in the school's extra curric- ular program. Its public appearances are always enthusias- tically received by admirers of fine music beau- tifully rendered. Attractively garbed in gray gowns with white stoles edged in blue, the girls sang appropriate music at a Christmas program given in the auditorium for the entertainment of both junior and senior high school students, at its annual concert held in conjunction with the band, and at the commencement exercises.

The purpose of the chorus is to give the junior high school girls musical training of a general nature, to furnish them practice in group sing- ing, and to acquaint them with the best and most popular semi-classical compositions. Their rep- ertoire include such favorites as Peter Pan, Prayer, 'AThe Shadows, ln Spring, and 'When Life is Brightest. Since next year the girls will be eligible for membership in the choir, the chorus has served the further purpose of furnishing Miss Ship- man the material from which to choose talented choristers to replace the senior girls who are members of the choir.

Later the girls made little Easter baskets. which were used as favors by convalescent sold- iers. The club members who were skillful with needle and thread hemmed washcloths or Cro- cheted edgings around squares of wool, which were then sewed together to make an attractive afghan, The club also sponsored a basketball game between the Shickshinny varsity and the alumni for the benefit of the senior Red Cross.

Each member contributes one hour a week to the library. Under the guidance of Miss Schlee, the girls learn to take pride in the appearance of the library and to discharge the various duties connected with it. These du- ties include charging books, putting them on the shelves, typing, making over-due book lists, keeping the library in order, mending old vol- umes, and helping the students find the books which they desire. 1-if Yearbook ftaff The senior class has tried to produce a year- book which contains all the traditional features plus a few innovations and improvements, not the least of which is the hard cover. To publish an annual which would surpass those of their predecessors has involved diligent labor on the part of the staff members under the direction of Miss Shantz, their faculty adviser. It has also involved the whole-hearted cooperation of the entire class in soliciting advertisements to fin- ance the project. The result of their combined efforts is the 1946 Legend .

Varsity Basketball Tlhe varsity basketball team completed an- other successful season in the Wyoming Valley basketball League. The Indians won five games and lost four in each half of the league schedule. They finished in fifth place with a season's total of ten victories and eight losses. At the close of the basketball season, Coach Valley League Games WYOMING The first league game was played at home against Wyoming. The taller Wyoming team proved stiff opposition for the S.I'I.S. varsity. By outscoring Wyoming throughout the first half, the Indians held a good lead at half time. However, Wyoming tied the score in the third quarter, and the game was close the rest of the way with Shinny winning 27 to 25. PLAINS Plains was the opponent in the second game. Both teams were slow in starting. Plains led at the quarter and was still in the lead as the half ended. But the Shinny boys stopped the Plains team in the second half to win 28 to 20. LARKSVILLE The Shickshinny varsity felt confident of vic- Cobb entered the team in the Annual Invitation High School Basketball Tournament at the Bloomsburg State Teachers College. The boys won the first game from Mifflinburg but were Eliminated by West Wyoming in the semi- 'naIs. tory over Larksville. The opposing team was no serious threat at any time as the S.I'I.S. varsity scored more points in all but the fourth quarter. The Indians won 44 to 33. EXETER T'he Exeter game was one of the most im- portant and most exciting games of the first half race. Neither team had been previously defeated. The score was close at all times. Shinny held a slight lead at half time, but Exe- ter rang up more points in the second half and won in the last minute of the game 39 to 37. WEST PITTSTON In the West Pittston game, the Indians took an early lead and led by a wide margin at half time. In the second half most of the varsity went out on fouls, and West Pittston moved steadily ahead in the last quarter to win 44 to 39. Forty-six 1 i 9' .' . EDWARDSVILLE Traveling to Edwardsville for the next game, Shickshinny again failed to bring home a vic- tory. The varsity piled up more points than Ed- wardsville in the second quarter: but in the third and fourth quarters Edwardsville out- pointed the Indians to win 49 to 3U. FORTY FORT After suffering three consecutive defeats, the Shinny boys decided it was time to get back in the winning column. Shickshinny led Forty Fort in the first half and held a higher score at half time, Playing a good defensive game during the second half, the Indians won 47 to 31. LLIZERNE The Luzerne game was exciting from start to finish. Luzerne held a slight lead at 'the end of the second quarter: but the Indians rallied in the third and fourth quarters, and the score was tied. The game went into an extra period and Luzerne came out on top 47 to 44. PITTSTON As this was the last game of the first half, the Shinny boys were determined to win it. They showed their superiority early in the game and were never seriously threatened by the Pittston team. Shickshinny emerged victorious 53 to 19. WYOMING The first game in the second half was played at Wyoming. Everything went wrong for the Shinny varsity. The boys were not shooting as well as usual, and as a result the opponen-ts held the lead throughout the game to win 43 to 24. PLAINS The outcome of this game was decided in the first half as the Indians wen-t far into the lead. The Shinny subs outscored the Plains team in the third and fourth quarters. The score was 50 to 26 in favor of Shickshinny. LARKSVILLE The Larksville game was one of the best games played by the S.I'l.S. varsity this year. The Indians were strong on the offense and Larksville could not penetrate their defense. Holding the lead throughout the game, the Ind- ians won 51 to 24. EXETER The game with Exeter was an important one because the winner would have a good 'chance to win the second half pennant. The score was close durin the first half. In the third quarter, however, Egxeter forged ahead of Shickshinny and then fought off a Shinny rally in the last quarter to win 53 to 44. WEST PITTSTON Determined to avenge a first half defeat at the hands of West Pittston, Shickshinny went into this game in rare form. Outpointing their opponents throughout the game, the Indians came out the victors with a score of 48 to 30. EDWARDSVILLE The Edwardsville game was one of the low- est scoring games ever played in the S.H.S. gym. The opposing team scored more points in the early part of the game and held the lead until the end to win 26 to 17. FORTY FORT In the Forty Fort game, the Indians led in the first quarter: but their attack slowed down in the second quarter and the score became close, ln the second half, however, the Shinny varsity proved too much for Forty Fort and Shinny won 50 to 37. LUZERNE Shinny's defense was not up to par in this game. Luzerne dropped in more baskets than the Indians in the first and second quarters. Playing a good defensive game in the second half, Luzerne kept the lead to win 39 to 25. PITTSTON The Pittston game closed another successful basketball season for S.H.S. Taking the lead in the latter part of the first half, the Indians held it to win 46 to 33. EXHIBITION GAMES Shickshinny ...... Shickshinny ...... Shickshinny ...... Shickshinny ......

Basketball I. V. AND FRESHMAN BASKETBALL Like the varsity, the junior varsity also had a busy and successful season. They played 25 games, of which they won 17. ln these games the boys gained the experience which will make of them next year's varsity stars. Because of the great enthusiasm for basket- ball among the younger boys, Mr. Cobb organ- ized a third team composed of freshmen. When the opponents did not offer too stiff competition, the jayvees played the first half of the game and the freshmen the second half. To provide the freshmen boys additional op- portunity to perfect themselves as players, three leagues of four teams each were organized. Each league played a schedule of 18 games. The winners of each league for the first and second half pennants were as follows: 91- Harvard, Yale: 92 - Five Mountain Boys, Wildcats: 93 - Wildcats, Cubs. Page 49 GIRLS' BASKETBALL With an enthusiasm for sports not exceeded by that of the boys, the girls too endeavored to display their skill in basketball. Under Mr. Cobb's fine supervision the girls strove to master the rudiments of the game and develop greater athletic ability, Games were scheduled with Nescopeck, Lehman, and two with Berwick Y.W.C.A. Although the girls chosen to repre- sent Shickshinny High School did not always win, they played with fine spirit and good sportsmanship, The large number of junior and sophomore girls on the team is an assurance that next year the girls will enjoy a very successful season. To offset the limited number of interscholastic games, an intensive program of intramural games was set up. Six leagues were organized. The victorious teams of the two leagues which completed the playoffs were the Hubba Hubba and the Shinnyettes. First row: Frank Matusek, Michael Fischetti, Rocco Miller, Leonard Koons, Max Bower, Richard Bridle, George Viti, Williaxn Bower, Richard Thompson.

Third row: Eugene Martini, Harry Hook, lohn Bloshinski, Pat Gallagher, Glenn Benscoter, Clayton Gregory, George Kessler, Hugh Elliott, Football After an interval of four years, the S. H. S. football squad was again in action on the grid- iron. Unable to enter a conference, Shickshinny played a schedule of five games as an independ- ent team. With only a few weeks of training, with no previous experience, and with opponents who outweighed them considerably, the boys lost the first three games of the schedule to Milton, Larksville, and Newport, But the next game CHEERLEADERS First row: Irene Skwarek, Mary Agnes Remaly, Dorothy Venit, Eleanore Czarnomski. Second row: Elaine Steeber, Christine Bolinski, Dor- othy Hill, with Dallas proved that the boys were begin- ning to profit by their experience. It was a close, hard-fought game ending in a 6-0 score. They lost the game but won a moral victory. The ef- fects of the victory were evident when Shick- shinny met Lehman, the last opponent, and scored a 12 to 7 victory. Profiting by the experience acquired this year, the team should have a very successful season next fall.
