September of T952 began another busy season for the S.H.S. Band. With the first football game scheduled early in the month, the band members began to practice marching and learned to make various formations. One of the outstanding formations of the year was the Hawaiian dancer which was presented at the Wyoming football game. In September the band also attended the Bloomsburg Fair. Competing with other outstanding bands, the S.H.S. group captured top honors. October came with its series of Halloween parades in which the band always made fine showings. Another event occurring during October was the election of the officers of Band Town. The Armistice Day parade concluded the marching activities of the band for the winter months, and serious work was begun on Christmas music. In addition to the annual Christmas caroling for the residents of Shickshinny, the band presented several Christmas concerts in neighbor- ing churches. After the Christmas vacation, the members of the band began work- ing extra hard on music for the spring concert. Plans were also started for the sixth annual Military Ball, During the month of January, six of the boys from the band left for Stroudsburg to participate in the North- east District Band Concert which was conducted by Walter Beeler. On the night of January 17, took place the most glamorous event in the band's activities for the year, the Military Ball. The highlight of the f' 'i r lim!! SCHOOL BAND smcusumnv . T Q w. ll v-. IM., oi ball was the crowning of the sixth annual ball Queen. Joy Cease, last year's retiring Queen, crowned Nancy Scott Queen of the T953 ball while Harry McClure crowned the mayor of Band Town, Albert Miles, King. In February, Charles Kiethline represented the Shickshinny High School Band at the State Band Festival in Sayre. During the remaining winter months, the band concentrated on compositions such as Lady of Spain, The Traveler, and The Stars and Stripes to be presented at the spring concert. The first public appearance of the concert band was at the Retreat State Hospital where a benefit concert was given. The band members then traveled to Bloomsburg and presented a concert for the students of B.S.T.C. Finally on April lo and i7, the annual band concert was held in the high school auditorium, which was filled to capacity both nights. Twenty- five graduating Seniors received their letters at the concert. On April 20, the members of the band left for New York City, a trip sponsored by the Band Parents' Organization. The program included the Hotel New Yorker as base of operations, a boat Tour of Manhattan, a general sight-seeing trip, and a concert by the Cities Service Band of America. May brought marching practice again and parades at Nanticoke and Sweet Valley. The Memorial Day parade at Sweet Valley concluded the band's activities for the year. -Q v ? 1 ll ll?

The girls practice Monday morning in the activity period and during other periods provided for them. Their musical selections consist of classical and semi- classical music. This year the choir presented its second annual Christmas Concert to the public December 18, and then repeated it for the student Christmas assembly. The concert was divided into two parts. The first found the girls arranged in the form of a Christmas tree singing such numbers as Winter Wonderland, Jingle Bells, and many other popular Christmas songs. The second part opened with a candlelight procession led by an angel chorus consisting of third, fourth, and fifth grade girls followed by the mem- bers of the choir dressed in their robes. A special event for the girls in the choir was a trip to Wilkes-Barre to hear the Rochester Symphony Orchestra. The choir's final appearance for the year was at the commencement program at which time fifteen Senior girls received their letters. l Ng 1 Ig 5 2 3 is-min 31 f Jkl' Scenes from CHRISTMAS CONCERT 2 5 ' l I 3 nf' f , P' 5 F OOTLIGH T now ,il FOTOS P5312 1: - ' 'E 5?- i Behind the Scenes A-ah!

U ln I WAYS and MEANS COMMITTEE THE JUNIOR WAYS and MEANS COMMITTEE is an organization composed of representatives from the three Junior homerooms who planned activities to raise money to finance the Junior-Senior Prom. With Willard Kiethline as chairman and the three homeroom teachers, Miss Keller, Mr. Harvey, and Mr. Lutz as advisors, the organization accomplished many worthwhile achievements. Two-thirds of the amount required for the Prom was raised by collecting dues from each class mem- ber and by presenting the play, No More Home- work. The balance was earned in the following ways: by selling pizza, candy, peanuts, and potato chips at the home football and basketball games, by giving skating parties, and by sponsoring the successful Snowflake Dance. The loyal school-spirit of the Juniors made the Junior-Senior Prom a very outstanding and delight- ful affair.

STUDENT COUNCIL In September each homeroom elected one rep- resentative for the STUDENT COUNCIL, which is composed of eight students and the Advisor, Mr. Harvey. The purpose of this organization is to secure a greater degree of self government for students in the Garrison Memorial High School and to conduct student affairs in an efficient and systematic man- ner, taking into consideration the rights and privi- leges of students as individuals and as groups. The council meets weekly to discuss plans and activities for the school year. The members conducted SAFETY PATROL This group of Senior High boys make up the school safety patrol, whose duty it is to protect the students as they cross the town streets. The job is far from a pleasant one most of the time, for no matter if it is raining, snowing, or sleeting, these boys can be found on the iob. A dinner was held for them by the Twin Cities Lions Club, which also pre- sented each boy with a raincoat. In addition to this, the school awarded each member a felt emblem for his service to the town as well as to the school. locker-inpection, discussed the order of dismissal from assemblies, planned the annual Christmas Party for grades 9 to 12, distributed and collected the containers for the Heart Fund, and selected the Senior appointees to the National Honor Society. In March the council sponsored an assembly pro- gram in which was shown a film depicting life on the campus of Pennsylvania State College. Another activity to engage the group was the choice of four assembly programs to be supplied by the Antrim Bureau, School Assembly Forum during the T953-54 school year. ga Harold Benscoter, Roman Futoma, James Culver, Sylvester Petroski, Richard Lanning.

The FUTURE HOMEMAKERS of AMERICA, spon- sored bgy Miss Bittenbender, is a national organiza- tion of pupils who study homemaking in Junior and Senior high schools. In our school, the club consists of girls from the Senior High who work together for better and happier home life. The girls discussed such subiects as how to cook, how to set a table, how to wash different articles of clothing, how to use make-up, and how to get a iob. The members of the club believe that helping to make a happy home is the most important thing that youth can do for democracy. The TYPING CLUB, under the sponsorship of Mr. Lutz, is made up of students who have not been able to include typing in their schedule but want to know the fundamentals of typing for their own personal use. During the first few meetings the students became acquainted with the parts of a typewriter and learned the keyboard. With subsequent practice they de- veloped better typing techniques and speed.

This year the TRIAHI-Y boasted an all-time high membership of 64 girls. Because of this large number, the club was divided into two groups, each group meeting every other week. The purpose of the Tri-Hi-Y is to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. lts slogan is Pure words, pure thoughts, and pure actions. The girls were kept busy making favors for various holidays for the Nanticoke Red Cross. They also contributed food and made three Thanksgiving boxes, which were distributed to three needy families of the area. At Christmas time a box was made for the patients at the Wilkes-Barre Veterans Hospital. The girls decorated the school windows during the Christmas season as another proiect. On May l5, the members of the club and their Advisor, Miss Whitenight, enjoyed a picnic at the Furnace Darn. Ice cream and coca-cola were furnished and each girl received a little gift. This picnic ended a very successful year. The girls found great pleasure and satisfaction in working to- gether for the good of others. HI-Y V7 if if First row: Margaret Lanza.

He is everyone's triend and is known affectionately to the student body as Uncle Pete. This name alone helps to explain better than We can in words what he means to us and our schoolmates. This expression of appreciation is appropriately placed in the athletic section ot the 1953 LEGEND be- cause ot the invaluable service he renders to the ath- letic teams of our school. He acts as a combination trainer, doctor, and spirit builder. He sticks with our teams vvhether they are winning or losing and always has a word ot encouragement tor the team members vvhen they are down-and-out because ot a loss. We, as a class, shall soon leave school to pursue our separate careers, but vve hope Uncle Pete will con- tinue to be a familiar figure in Shickshinny High School tor many years to come.

FOOTBALL With Mr. Cooney as coach, assisted by Mr. Reese, Shickshinny opened its football season with a 18-O win over Wilkes-Barre Township. A pass from Bridle to Baradgie and an off tackle run by Pugh gave the Indians their first score, Caverly went 63 yards for another score, and in the fourth period, Pugh again smashed off tackle for his second tally. This initial victory was followed by two defeats. In its first conference game, Shickshinny was up- set by Edwardsville via the extra point, 12-13. The Indians suffered their second defeat at the hands of West Pittston, 13-47. Shickshinny's grid machine got back into the win column as they whipped Dupont High by a score of 26-13. Buzz Bach flipped three touch- down passes with Denny Caverly on the receiving end of two of the tosses and Baradgie on the other. Caverly also scored after scooping up a punt blocked by Jerry Pisaneschi. Roaring from behind, the Indians posted a 27-13 victory over the Wyoming Seminary High School team. It was the sharp passing of Bach that resulted in touchdowns by Caverly and Pugh and set up two other- one by Keiner and the other by Bach himself. The Indians got their first West Side Conference victory when they romped to a 19-6 win over Wyoming. After Bach hit Baradgie with a touch- down pass, Keiner kept the attack moving with a forty yard iaunt for the second score. A con- :erted drive with Caverly, Pugh, and Keiner run- ning on hand offs from Bach set up the final score. Shickshinny's vaunted offensive power went into action as the team trounced West Wyoming, 47-19. After a slow start, the Indians put on a dazzling performance that completely bewildered the opponents. The Indians held a half time lead of 20-12 and from that point on took complete charge of the tilt until the final whistle. Meeting Forty Fort, the Indians took the short end of a 20-6 score. Shickshinny's lone touchdown came in the last quarter when Bach fired to Jim Smith who caught it on the dead run and went to the one yard line. On the next play, Caverly plunged for the score. Shickshinny marched to its sixth victory by defeating Westmoreland 25-7. Bach's fine passing to Pugh and three interceptions handed the ln- dians their final score. The Shickshinny Indians marked finis to their 1952 football season by losing to Exeter, 13-26. The local team trailed at half time by only one point, but Exeter caught fire in the second half and scored twice while holding Shickshinny score- less. li 1 -X ll ,V ,. ff i , kc JOE BARADGIE End O +L -416 X :G VX 4 X b ,wx 4 ,Q 4 ' , p A ' IA' l N M I V 1 f Q .-. ,- gi. , 1 1 I ,ji xi Y . 1 , N -K FRANK GOTOTWESKI Guard I T,-,Al -Ll, I N ' 1 I, 5 v ' J P f xx ff i A 5 LARRY HARTMAN X WL ' r , cv 1 11,4 ! rf' ' I JOE THOMAS Guard BOB HOFFMAN Tackle 'N X O 1 X, fl I K r 1 Bob Bridle successfully intercepts a Wyoming pass. log JAgl'K Uaf L4 r 0 Lg!

The team looked good in all seven games and hopes were high for a championship team t.fo Years in a row. Jerry Ricci, Robert Rahl, After these exhibition games, the Indians played Freeland in the Hazleton J. C. Tourney, coming out on the short end of a 77-55 SCOTS. ln the Valley League games, Shickshinny started with an impressive victory over Forty Fort.. After winning six more games in succession over Plains, Larksville, Edwardsville, West Pittston, Exeter, and Wyoming to remain in first place by themselves, the tribe took on the strong Luzerne five. Playing without the services of Caverly, who had iniured his knee earlier in the season, and Bach, who fouled out very early in the game, the Indians were defeated for the first time in eight starts. This defeat dropped them into a first place tie with Larksville. After a win over Pittston, the Indians still remained tied with Larksville for the first half honors. The second half opened with the Shinny quintet losing a heart-breaker to Larks- ville by a score of 75-72. After this loss the Indians triumphed over Plains, Wyo- ming, Exeter, and Pittston to stay in a tie for first place for second half honors. The string of victories was followed by another defeat at the hands of Luzerne. ln the next game the Indians played West Pittston and managed to squeeze through a 69-61 win. Then Edwardsville topped the S.H.S. tribe for its third loss of the second half campaign. Coach Gayeski used his entire bench in downing Forty Fort as he made every effort to have his team ready for the important play-off contest with Larksville. The play-off was held at a iam-packed Kingston High School gymnasium. After a slow start, the Indians set the pace and matched the Larks almost point for point. But itifvas to no avail as they came out on the losing end of a 71-80 score. At the conclusion of the league season, the Indians iourneyed to the Bloomsburg Tournament to take on Mount Carmel. The boys gave a good account of them- selves but lost a tight one which featured two extra periods. The Indians' basketball record this year was I4 wins and 4 losses as compared to that of last year's championship team which listed I5 wins and 3 losses. The season's top scoring player was Richard Buzz Bach with a total of 333 points. His average per game was I7 points.

Larry Pugh's home run in the first inning put the Indians ahead for the early part of the game, but in the fourth and fifth innings Nanticoke exploded for one and three runs respectively and emerged victorious, 4 to l. The second game was at home with Larksville. Despite the fact that the opposing pitcher pitched a no-hit game, the indians capitalized on all breaks and oppor- tunities and won the game 7 to l. The next foe of the Shickshinny Indians was the strong Newport nine. ln spite of cold weather, there was plenty of action with both teams hitting and scoring frequently. The game ended with the Indians bowing to the score of 8 to 6. Playing host to Plymouth in the next game, the Indians took an early lead and victory looked near. But Plymouth was not to be denied and came on in the final stanza to edge out the S.H.S. team by the score of 3 to 4. Tasting defeat three out of four games, the Indians were determined to beat Larksville at the latter's field. Sparked by Buzz Bach, who had a triple and a home run, and Dick Price, who pitched a superb one-hit game, the Indians turned in'a 5 to 2 win. The sixth game of the campaign was played at home with Nanticoke. The game went nip-and-tuck for 7 innings with the score knotted at 2 all. Then with the bases full of Indians, Larry Pugh hit a triple and brought another 5 to 2 victory. With all the teams in the league, except Newport, tie in the standings, the Indians would have liked nothing better than to beat Newport and brighten their hopes for a championship two years in a row. But the league leaders were at their strongest and won the game to the tune of 5 to O. The last game of the season took the Shinny boys to Plymouth. After 5 innings of play, the rains came and the game was called with the indians taking the short end of a 6 to l score. 'S-35iVJQ9i 15, t, rv 1 FSI 58 if - - v s xf -.. n-'f -1, '.

NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY The NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY of SECONDARY SCHOOLS, which was founded by the National Association of Secondary School Principals in 1921, was organized in the Shickshinny High School in 1951. The addition of eighteen mem- bers of the class of 1953 to the local chapter bring the total membership to thirty-five. Many of the chapters of this society sponsor activities of service to their school. Other chapters, like that of Shickshinny, serve as honorary groups, the members being chosen at the time of graduation. Students are chosen for outstanding scholarship, service, leadership, and char- acter. ln the local chapter, they are selected by the entire faculty or by members of the faculty appointed for that purpose and representative students of the school who assist them. The S.H.S. Student Council makes the final selection of those who are eligible for membership. The students who are elected to the National Honor Society are given engraved membership cards and certificates, in addition to a special seal which is affixed to the diploma. 1950-51 Elizabeth Billy Joseph Billy Bernadine Cobosko Harriet Cragle Iola Dodson Edward Kokora Wayne Koons Helen Kowalchik Lois Roberts Mary Thomas Raymond Wasilewski 1951-52 Gloria Denoy Gale Gregory John Gurzynski Christine Kobosko Mabel Lewis Joann Woiciechowicz MEMBERS Richard Bach Rachel Belles Audrey Bilby Margaret Bonham Dennis Caverly Robert Hoffman Margaret Laidacker John Marvin Albert Miles 1952-53 Jane Miller Audrey Mucci Constance Prince Nancy Scott Elaine Sivilich Rachel Slusser Frances Stuka Janice Winans Elva Lou Young U SENIOR CINEMA PREMIERE The Junior-Senior Prom was held in the ball- room of the F.O.E. in Berwick on Friday, May 22, with music by AI Anderson's orchestra.
