Wav E 5 515: I QD I s N 7 E, the class of 1940, dedicate this volume of the Clairian to our advisors, Miss Phoebe Evans and Mr. Francis Welker. We bestow this honor upon them to express our sin- cere and heartfelt gratitude for their shrewd guidance and inspiring advice, which have aid- ed us so valuably in the past four years. Without their tireless efforts, which have kept the spirit of Democracy alive Within our Class government, and their sober and sagacious coun- sel, we should have found it an arduous task to carry on the traditions of Saint Clair High School and to attain and to realize this milestone in our intellectual development.

In order to really justify our inherit- ance we must put into practice the ideals handed down to us by our forefathers -- those ideals upon which we have founded the basis of our democracy. Every American prides himself,upon the fact that he is an integral part of the greatest gov- ernment on the face of the earth. Forward we go with our precious ideals, holding high our lamp of lib- erty.

The members of this board have steadfastly devoted time and energy to making our High School outstanding in scholastic and athletic attainments. Because of this, the Class of 1940 wishes to acknowledge an enormous debt, and offers to their benefac- tors heartfelt and sincere appreciation for their cooperation and tireless efforts. PHOLDS PRINCIPLES OF DEMOCRACY MR. CHARLES R. BIRCH, our superintendent, has done much for the advancement of the St. Clair School District. The progress of the schools under his guidance has been a steady growth, that is a credit to his administration. His interest in community projects as well as those directly concerned with the school has been for the building of character and citizenship in the student body. The principal of our High School, Mr. Ellwood S. Boden- horn, has won the respect and admiration of the entire student body, by his ready willingness to help in anything that con- cerns their welfare. He has given individual attention to the problems confronting each student, and his advice will go far in helping them confront the difiiculties that they may encounter in life.

Abroad to- day are doctrines that deviate and degrade the fine principles of civilization. Modern Europe isuconfronted with bloodshed, fear, insecurity, hatred, distrust and terrorism. By circumstance or some shrewd ways and means, a few strong willed men hold power over millions of people and determine the future of their people and themselves by their actions. These same men are now fighting a new war for old reasons, changing the maps drastically, causing the peo- ple to Hee across the face of the earth, and set- ting up new forms of government. These things could be avoided if people stopped being selfish MARY E. MONAHAN, B.S. ANNA T.

As Seneca says, The great felicity of life is to be without perturbation. It is no wonder that we love, respect and pro- tect our flag and for what it stands-purity, in- nocence, hardiness, valor, vigilance, perserver- ance and justice. The Declaration of Indepen- dence and the Constitution mean much to us be- cause they provide for our enjoyment of free- dom of speech, freedom of press and assembly, the right to petition, redress of grievances, and freedom of religion.

As long as we shall work together, believing in ourselves and in the principles as embodied in our Constitution, we shall find the great secret of success. The purpose of democracy is so to or- ganize society that each member may de- velop his personality primarily through ac- tivities designed for the well-being of his fellow members and of society as a whole. Consequently, education in a democracy, both within and without the school, should develop in each individual the knowledge, interests, ideals, habits, and powers where- by he will find his place and use that place to shape both himself and society toward nobler ends.

At our first class meeting we chose the following students to guide us through the term: President, Elenore Kotchg Vice President, Albert Kazlauskusg Secretary-Treasurer, Jenny Ross. In our second year we were well represented on the football, baseball, and basketball teams. We held a very successful doggie roast at Eagle Hill. The class oliicers for the Sophomore year were: President, John Brown, Vice President, Francis Gatelyg Secretary, Mary Gwynng Treas- urer, Mario Cherri. The Junior Prom was the highlight of our Junior year, and was held during the Christmas season in the Public School Auditorium. A com- mittee composed of representatives of the Freshman, Sophomore, junior Classes, and of the faculty selected a class ring which will be used by all future classes. Class officers for the third term were: Presi- dent, Elenore Kotchg Vice-President, jack Williams, Secretary, Olga Havrong Treasurer, Edward Fitz. The Vlfashington Trip was uppermost in our minds during our Senior year. NW e held another doggie roast at Eagle Hill. In the latter part of the year we were occupied with the exciting preparations for graduation. CQLPLQVL 1 S ixxcen u.

Although the team didn't reach our expectations or the standards of past grid teams it turned in some remarkable performances. The team had a fine beginning but it suffered disastrous defeats due to the lack of weight, of numbers, of experience, and the loss of valuable players through injuries. The team however broke a precedent of past teams by beating Ashland, the first time an Ashland team was defeated by a Saint Clair eleven. However, fortune wasn't its lot, and this was its only victory in contrast to its seven defeats. Forty-eight The wonderful work which was displayed at Millersville and Shenandoah was remarkable, in spite of the fact of so many injuries. We wish to congratulate our boys for the fine sport- manship which they showed. Even though they did lose, all their many losses were overshadowed by the hue spirit with which they played. Some of our most outstanding players of the season were Stempien, Washuta, Gracely, Vfarner, Shumskus, Wabby, and Beritski. As a whole, all the games in which the Saints participated were characterized by excellent sportsmanship. They were stub- born on defense before yielding to a superior team. Even though some of the players will be lost through graduation, the pros- pects for next season's team are very promising, and we the graduating class of 1940 extend our best wishes for a most successful year.

Baaelaff DIAMOND MEN PLAY IMPORTANT PART IN SPORTS LEAGUE Champions, County Champions, and District Finalists is the proud boast of the 1939 baseball edition. Sailing through the league with but one loss, beating Porter High for the County Championship, trimming Nesquehoning in district elimination, and finally bowing to Bethlehem in the finals gave Saint Clair its finest record to date. We have five pennants and in the sixth year we lost the play-off game to finish second. This year's team upheld that proud reputation and added laurels for future teams to aspire to. In a season of highlights the no-hit no-run masterpiece hurled by johnny Elenchin on May 23 versus East Mahanoy Twp. stands out. Only one man reached first base, that by a base on balls, only to be picked off by Elenchin ten seconds later. The loss of seven men from a Championship Club usually means dis- aster, but supporters are sure that the remaining lettermen will aid Captain Elenchin in matching the Champions' performance that put the cup in our trophy case. Stempien, McCarthy, Mocha, Tirola, Gracely, Tierney and Leone have departed, but their great record should inspire next year's team to greater heights. At any rate the Clairian views the coming season with keen confidence. Cfairialz f O Fifty-two Frackville ..... x . Porter Twp. . . . 2 xx .

Wfe admire their loyalty and school spirit, and the enjoyment we receive from their yells and cheers. Even our pep meet- ings have reached a new height due to the work of these charming girls. The ever to be remembered basketball game of Frackville and Saint Clair, will always remind us of the big part the cheerleaders played in leading the boys to that wonderful score.

Their combined efforts have put forth what we hope is the best year book ever sponsored by a Saint Clair High School Senior Class. We hope that in the years to come this Clairian, the product of their efforts, will help us call to mind Our experiences in the Saint Clair High School. If it helps us remember our pleasant friendships of high school days, the Clairian Staff will have achieved its goal. Our editors based the theme of our book on Democracy, hoping that it impresses upon our minds the important part that. the world-condi- tions existing today will play in molding our characters. The character of its people determines the future of a nation. LITERARY STAFF Editor-ifz-Chief Arrimzzzl Editor-in-Chief Cfairian 5?

Plans were made to hold at least one activity a month. A Halloween masquerade dance was the first social function, and its success encouraged us to sponsor several more dances. During the basketball season a refreshment stand was installed for the games. The Student Council organized several activities during the second semester, the proceeds of which were to go toward purchasing an electric scoreboard for the gym. The outstanding event of the year was our registration as a member of the Student Council Association of Pennsylvania. This enabled us to send a delegation to the State Convention of Student Councils which was held at Lancaster in late October. Czairian f 0 Fifty-eight Mary D. Thorn, B.Mus.

TRAINING FOR GROUP SINGING IN October 1939, the call for candidates for the Girls' Glee Club was answered by a group of one hundred and fifty girls. Due to the process of elimination, sixty eligible girls were chosen to form the Glee Club. After a year of idleness the Glee Club started on another year of work. This year the Club will be guided in its work by Miss Mary Thorn, our music supervisor. During the term the girls are learning more about the appreciation of music and are studying three-part singing. A concert is scheduled for the Spring and the girls are eager to make it a success. With the willing spirit the girls have taken toward it, and with the unfailing efforts of Miss Thorn, we are certain it will be suc- cessful. Fifty-nine CM QM t .MVN QM?

It is the hope and sincere desire of both students and teachers that within the very near future the teaching staff and curricu- lum will be sufficiently enlarged to overcome this deficiency, and provide a program so necessary to a well-rounded school life. .4 be Cfairian, f 94 0 Sixty-two oar..

This organization is an honorary mathe- matical fraternity with the object of stimulating interest in mathematics, providing an incentive for raising the standard of high school students, and promoting relations between them. Throughout its years of existence it has proven popular among the students, and has had a steady enroll- ment. To be eligible for membership a student must be of junior standing and must have attained an average of 8542 in mathematics. Those hav- ing done so are invited to join, and after being initiated, become full- pledged members. Each year at graduation the Senior having the highest average in mathematics is given an award by the Alpha Delta Pi. The recipient of last year's award was George Kovich. ' Sixty-thru Margaret C.

The association was fortunate in securing for its leaders in this discus- sion the following: Mr. E. S. Bodenhorn, Reverend Charles Miller, Reverend Richard E. Owens, Mr. Francis Welker, Mr. Albert Alessi, Miss Edith Brown, and Mr. Charles R. Birch. The association enriched the art program of the district by making available to the art supervisor and the classroom teachers paintings by famous artists. The outstanding events of the year were the Hallowe'en Party and the Christmas Party. Under the able direction of the chairlady, Mrs. Claude Reich, these affairs afforded delightful entertainment for Par- ents and guests. At the Christmas Party the association entertained more than four hundred children and parents. gfairian f 94 0 Sixty-four Mrs. Clarence Hagan Mrs james Place, Mrs. Lawrence Little Miss Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Adamcik Mr. and Mrs. Charles Adamitis Mr. Albert Alessi Miss Margaret Barrett Mr. and Mrs. Lot Beacher Miss Katherine M.
