Wherever our heroes served, in an- swer to the call of their country-in Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, the islands scattered in the Paciiic, or within the border of the United States, we offer homage. No word or act of ours can add to their fame, yet in all humility, wc pay tribute to their bravery and loyalty and steadfastness. In sorrow, we salute these courageous youth, and solemnly pledge that we will carry forward the battle to free democracy of its chains, and to secure a lasting peace-that our heroes shall not have died in vain. And we pray God's blessing rest upon them. 'k 'A' ir if 'Ir 'lr 'A' i' 'k 'lr r 4-1. I The School The f0u11sa'a1fi0n of efvery Demofrrzfy is its 6Li1fLfflli077 of its youth.

PETER J. MCCARTHY MR. DONALD J. THORN DR. ERROL T. JONES We, thc class of l911-5, express to you, gentlemen of the Board of Education, our most sincere appreciation of your untiring efforts in our educationl welfare. You have unstintedly devoted your time and energy to place our High School on a high Scholastic and athletic plane. During the past four years, our study, under your guidance, has been most enjoyable and profitable, and we hope that in the future, your vigilance and devotion to duty, will lead to even greater achievement for Saint Clair High School. In takinv our de Jarture we wfsh afrain to assure vou of our Gratitude for U 7 U . U 7 providing the facilities which have made our education possible. 6 Our success as builders both in the pres- ent and in the post-war world will depend largely upon our ability to conscientiously amflll and effectively employ the funda- mental principles of democracy. Millions of our fellow-citizens are now lighting against the forces which would destroy those principles and the institutions which exemplify them. While they offer them- selves as sacrifices to preserve our insti- tutions and our way of life, we should dedicate ourselves to the task of preserv- ing and strengthening those qualities of good citizenship which effective democracy demands. C. R. BIRCH. The members of the class of '45 face tremendous responsibilities, that of help- ing to win the war and helping to win the Peace. They have had adequate train- ing for the task, and if they will remem- ber the lessons of Democracy, Brotherly Love, and Rightful Thinking, that they have learned in school, the Victory will be ours.

For- tunately, we have heen ahle to carry on the war far from our home land. However. newly de- veloped weapons and air craft and munitions are of such wide range and so powerful, that if we permit any country to de- velop military power against us, the devastation shall he hrought to our own soil and to our own homes.

It can be done, by carefully plan- ning and developing, in cooper- ation with the peace-loving na- tions of the world, an organized peace, practical and satisfactory to all. Difficult as it may seem, this ideal can be achieved. Greed and selfishness must be sup- pressed, and by cooperation, neighborliness, compromise, and good-will create a peaceful world order that will prevent wars and at the same time de- velop a friendly, mutually prof- itable relation among the peace- ful nations of the world. We must end forever the power of the gangster to spread among innocent and weaker countries gfear, distrust, insecurity, hat- red, bloodshed, ruin, and deso- lation.

You are entering the work-a-day world at a very critical time in history. The war is still to be won. lmpatient to do your hit to achieve victory, some of you, before reaching the military age, have volunteered your services, some have been called. You, brave young m,en, especially, do we honor and salute, and pray for your safe return when peace has been restored. Likewise, eager to carry your share of responsibility, many Senior girls will answer the call of the government, in its desperate need of nurses. You have prepared for this work by taking a special course in Chemistry. Your foresight is commendable and We wish success to our future HAngels of Mercy, There are those who will enter higher institutions of learning, others will enter the business world, while many will secure any work which will aid in furthering the war effort. .

Mooney Four years ago, we, the class of '45, entered the portals of Saint Clair High School. We had the usual Freshman characteristics resulting from inexpcrience and a sense of inferiority, which disappeared after we became accustomed to the High School routine. Then-the fateful day of December 7th arrived. All the world now felt the effects of the war, and we were no exception, for the remainder of our high school years were tinged by it. As we began our Sophomore year, the class was increased by a large group of students from the Townships. We were kept busy doing our hit for the war effort. This hit included the buying of War Bonds and Stamps, working as telephonists and messengers during practice air raids, and taking part in the Victory Corps which was organized in the school. These activities did not prevent many of our members from distinguishing themselves scholastically, athletically, and socially. The traditional Junior Prom was the outstanding event of our Junior year. We planned for it, worked for it, and, with the untiring aid of our class advisors, made the ball an event which will long be remembered. Now that we are seniors, we realize that our school days will soon be over. The joys and experiences we have shared during the past four years are a memory which we will treasure forever. We thank all who have helped us to surmount the difficulties of those years, giving us a firm foundation, on which we, as The Builders of Tomorrow, may successfully cope with the intricate problems of the future. 12 7 ANNE BARLAS NA Friendship is love with und tamIing.'

We have met with some changes in the cur- riculum. During our Freshman year, Mr. Sterner, our Health and Gym teacher, as well as our Basketball Coach, was granted a leave of absence early in the term. Mr. Welker assumed the duties of Basketball Coach for the remainder of the term. This year Mr. Reese has taken over Mr. Sterner's work and Mrs. Wagner is our new History and Civics teacher. We miss the cheerful presence of Miss Ray. We have participated in all school functions, and cooperated in all school activities. Our greatest pleasure was entertaining the student body by present- ing a play entitled, uspreading The News. ' As Sophomores, we have had much happiness, and we are looking forward to an eventful .lunior year. As we strive toward success, we shall ever keep in mind our motto- Be Rugged Though The Road Be Rough. r .

Although in a new environment, the Student Council did much to acquaint us with our fellow students and teachers. We wish to express our gratitude to lVlr. Evans and the Student Council for the school dance, held in our honor, at which friendliness and hospitality prevailed. Our motto, Wlloday we follow, tomorrow We lead, is a reminder of the gigantic task we have before us. Eagerly anticipating the winning of the war and the peace to follow, we recognize, vaguely, the importance of the problems involved, and the necessary clear thinking to solve them. May we so apply ourselves to study during these four years that when our leadership is required, wc, as good American citizens, shall be prepared, ably, to assume our respon- sibility. Therefore, we pledge loyalty to our school, our community, and our coun- try, in our effort to build, in our own small way, the America of the future. 34 FRONT ROW: Left lo Rishi: John Hillman, Sergius Kuharsky, Francis Kundrack, John l.aurie, George Homa.

This success was accomplished by the cooperation of all members connected with both organizations. The Band, especially, has heaped high praise upon itself through its successful showing at the liasketlrall games, performing different stunts for each game. A new addition to the Band this year was the Twirlers, who, along with the Drum Major and Majorettes, helped toward the success of the Band. The Orchestra, although not quite as active as the Band, has also done its share to heap praises on the Instrumental Music Department. Its main activity is the providing of music for Class Night and Commencement. For several years the Orchestra has been taking part in the Commencement exercises of New Castle Junior High School, where they were received with great pleasure.

The huge groups of boys and girls, clad in uniform color, present a most inspiring sight, as they pour forth their melody from the Gymnasium bleachers. The tone, balance, blend, and interpretation of the varied musical numbers are evidence of painstaking and patient effort. The Glec Clubs participate in almost all programs. As a musical background or as an interlude, the members carry over the interpretation of any theme stressed by the Assembly, whether it be religious, patriotic, fantastic, or gay. The work done by the Glee Clubs in the Christmas Pageant was most com- mendable. The Flag Drill, an enormous project, was very beautiful in its rhythm. unity of action, and mass of color As a salute to the boys, leaving to serve in the Armed Forces of our country, it was most effective. The Spring Concert, presenting folksongs of many lands, and the May Day Festival are being planned with enthusiasm, and promise to be most colorful and enjoyable musical events. Under the direction of Mrs. Emily Gibson, the Glee Clubs not only provide entertainment for the High School but also for Civic Clubs, interested in our educational welfare, as thc Womcifs Club and the Parent Teachers Association. During this period of strife and storm, the entire school agrees that the 1noral'e ibuilding qualities of music are important to all. 48 .fig IRST ROW: Left to Right: Irene Chis- iar, Rose Marie Dolla.

Three games were wo11 while five were lost. How- ever, in only one ease did the game turn into a route, when the hoys ran into a superior team. Uutstanding in the liackheld were William Wolff, Clem Vlfapinsky. Adam Giemza, and Mike Buletza, while on the line Mystishin, Thomas., Antalosky. Hresko. Schaeffer, Premieh. Covach, Peters. and Johns were standouts: an unusually large number of injuries was the reason for the loss of most of the games. A large numher of experieneed veterans return to form the framework around which eoaeh Stranko ean huild his team. SAINT CLAIR vs. PoTTsv11.LE Saint Clair hrought its famed T-formation to Pottsville, and after a slow start, a pass from Billy WOIH. struck home as Clem Wfapinsky seored all the Saint's points for the evening. It was only in the last seeonds of play that Pottsville managed to eke out a vietory, on a desperation pass. Outstanding in this game was the hrilliant playing of Billy Wolff and Adam Giemza's thrill- ing chase of Pottsyilles Wialker Philips down the sidelines. SAINT CLAIR vs. MINERSVILLE At Minersville. injuries and a heavy weight advantage told the story as Minersville won. 21-0. The loss of sueh players as Hresko. Peters, and Wvolfl eould not he aeeounted for. for some time. and the Battling 'Winers triumphed over a hattered team. SAINT Cum vs. EAST VIAHANOY Towwsnn' The home fans turned out well to see Saint Clair play its only home game of the season with an injuryfriddled team. ln this game Saint Clair lost the serviees of Paul Thomas. one of the outstanding linemen of the season. ln this game, Saint Clair had all the statisties in their favor. hut East Wlahanoy won the game when Wiapinsky was hit hard hehind the goal line for a safety to win 2-0. 54 SAINT CLAIR vs. NESQUEHONING At Nesquehoning, Saint Clair played a valiant game against unsurmountable odds. A heavy, experienced line wore the Red and Blue down as Nesquehoning scored in every period to win 38-0. Luke Johns and John Mystishin were stand- outs in this game. SAINT CLAIR vs. SCHUYLKILL HAVEN The Saints won their first games of the season at Schuylkill Haven in a scor- ing duel by a score of 28-19. Three touchdown runs by Billy Wolff, who played the game with a fractured thumb, a plunge by Clem Wapinsky, and extra points by Premich gave the Red and Blue Team its victory over Captain 6'Butch', Reed and his team mates. SAINT CLAII: vs. WEST MAHANOY TOWNSHIP Saint Clair's next victory on the gridiron came in the game with West Mah- anoy Township at Shenandoah. Premich scored on a pass early in the first period and West Mahanoy fought valiantly for a victory but lost all hopes when Schaeffer went down the sidelines to clinch the game with a second touchdown in the fourth period. SAINT CLAIR vs. ASHLAND Ashland proved to be another tough one for the Saints to lose, but Coach Strankois charges lost the game when an Ashland player recovered a deflected pass in the air and raced the distance to the goal line to break a 6-6 tie. SAINT CLAIR vs. FRACKVILLE Winding up the football season in a blaze of glory, Saint Clair crushed the Mountaineers of Frackville by a 26-6 score. Touchdowns by Wapinsky, Wolff, Johns, and Buletza highlighted the game, which was a passing duel between .loe Staneck of Frackville and Billy Wolff of the Saints. The brilliant play of the line in this game indicates great things to be expected as only one man is lost from the line and three from the backfield. Player Position Weight A.

The Varsity squad. composed of all Seniors. played a hard schedule winning six games while losing fourteen. Five games were lost lmy no more than two points and all of them were hard fought aHairs. With a little hetter shooting average the team would have won the majority of its games. All teams played, with two exceptions, were veteran eomlminations. However, the Saints never quit lighting for a minute. and every fray was liitterly contested until the final whistle. Wmmlff, Vlfapinsky. and Yaneck with 242. 137, and 112 points respectively. were the leading scorers. Andy Premich was prolralmly the most valualrle player. setting 11p plays and sparking the team. Lizak, Haus, Goodman, Kostrey. Welmlb. and Tirola made up the rest of the squad whose playing was much lnetter than its record. The liright side of the basketball picture was the developing system lregun this year. A classy, fast passing ,lay Vee squad that won sixteen games losing llut four and two of those in two overtime periods lmrings high hopes for a successful season next year. Freshman, Sophomore, and Junior teams eom- prised a six team intramural league while a six team ,lr. Hi league was started. This developing angurs well for the future and the Clairian sincerely hopes the Saints will once more lrecome lVlonarchs of the league.

War time re- strictions on material and a team composed of but veterans failed to keep the Saints from their customary places in the Sun. The team finished second in the North Schuylkill League. and but for a stunning upset Victory by Butler, might have again been champions. The Saints were the only team to defeat Frackville. the champions. The team was composed of Sophomores and Juniors with John Tokarick as the only Senior in the line-up. Tom Honas, the Sophomore speed ball pitcher, hung up an enviable record averaging fourteen strike outs per game. Ed Yaneck hit basehallis Hall of Fame with a no hit-no run triumph over Mahanoy Township. Those two, with ,loe Romanko. formed a pitch- ing staff that won the majority of the games played. Billy WolH's five successive doubles at Ashland set a league record while the flashy fielding of Tokarick and Corby paced the Saints' defense. With Tokarick as the only loss through grad- uation, the outlook for thc Saints for the coming year is excellent. Barring unforeseen accidents. the team should once more attain the permanent heights. Saint Clairis baseball record is enviable, no team finishing lower than second in the North Schuylkill League. This year's edition promises once more to tread the champions' path.
