OLLOCK R The Sailors' Log--Page four 4auwaaJ Anchors aweigh! . . . We have reached the time in our school days when we must sail from the school of knowledge out into the school of life. We have the past behind us. We have the future ahead. The purpose of this book is to serve as a guiding light, to point out and illu- minate the highlights of our school life: and each time we may review it, memories of our school life at Swoyerville will return as strongly impressed as today.

Board of Education We, the Senior Class of Swoyerville High School, deem it an honor to dedi- cate this page to the members of our Board of Education. This graduating class of nineteen hundred and forty-one takes this oppor- tunity to express its sincere appreciation to the Board of Education for the co- operation it has given the faculty and students in enlarging our commercial department in the past four years of our high school life. Our Board of Education is composed of intellectual and efficient citizens of our community, 'They have had many years of experience in conducting our school affairs, and the extent of their success is shown by the many new courses and subjects which they have made possible for us to enjoy and profit by within the past few years. The aim of the Board of Education is to inspire into our community's youth the Value of an education. To fulfill this aim, the board has given the students a highly educated teaching staff, an enlarged curriculum, and a high ranking system of teaching. The time has come to say farewell. We have reached the goal for which we have nobly striven through days and years of faithful, persistent labor. As we depart from our beloved Alma Mater, we wish again to express our deep admirationland appreciation to our Board of Education. The Sailor.-r' Log-Page .vi,c MR. HENRY R. HORVA'l Supervising Principal Message to Seniors Greetings : Congratulations and best wishes to the class of 1941, You have the distinction of being the largest class to ever graduate from Swoyerville High School. the first class to produce a year book. and, according to your teachers, one of the most brilliant groups. I hope the training you have received will help to make you good American citizens. Our theme during the year has been Americanism, Keep that thought in mind and you will always be a credit to your Alma Mater. This year the usual advice to seniors would be very shallow. No one can predict what tomorrow may bring, let alone events of your life- time. America is still the most desirable living place in all the world. Help to keep it so. lf your teachers or I can ever be of service to you, do not hesitate to come to us. Good-bye and Good Luck. HENRY R. HoRvA'r.

Senior Class History In the year nineteen hundred thirty-seven, the present Senior Class entered Swoyerville High School to begin that laborious task of educating ourselves in order to meet all difficulties in later life. The appellation, Freshmen, certainly befitted us in our first year, for we were green to high school life and fresh from grade school. During the first few days we ran hither and yon in the halls until we became accustomed to the classrooms and familiar with our schedules. With the sight of us then, any individual could describe us as frightened little hares dodging the upperclassmen as we changed classes. To us the seniors appeared as ogres who watched over every movement, and it seemed as if they were ready to ridicule whatever we had undertaken. We shirked every time we met them in the corridors. These seniors, in our minds, were highly educated beings so much further advanced in life than we were: and it was not until our class was qualified to graduate, that we realized what a great part our imagination played during our freshman year. Since it was not customary for the underclassmen to hold any dances, plays, or other forms of social af- fairs, our participation in extra-curricular activities was limited to athletics: yet only a few had taken part in the sports. From day to day each member of the class looked forward with anticipation to overcome the predominant fear and horror of that first year. With the promotion of the class came a change in our mental attitude. We took a step higher in school life and began to feel comfortable as a part of the big happy family. At- tempts to frighten the incoming freshmen were quickly abandoned due to the fact that school work was becoming more difficult and perfect discipline was demanded: nevertheless intimate friendships were established to prevail during the ensuing years. Resulting from the effort put into the work, success in the tryouts was the reward for our star athletes. As the end of the year approached, several of our classmates were invited to attend the Junior-Senior prom. Whether an invitation was received or not, every member of the class was happy to feel that the juniors and seniors considered us as friends. It is understood that the next was our third year in high school. We were happy and contented to find that year successful, for it seemed we had no worries fonly a few low re- port marksj. New clubs were formed, and we juniors were given and gladly accepted the op- portunity to join. The year also proved to be successful and prosperous for the athletes in foot- ball, basketball, and baseball. Continuing the yearly custom, our class had given a banquet in honor of the Seniors: the social event was, beyond a doubt, one of the most important af- fairs of our high school career: and for such reasons I personally feel that we had reached the peak of happiness and joy during that third year. Finally the fresh and 'igreen student of the first year had attained the ranks of the intellectual senior. At one moment we could rejoice and at another we could lament: but the best we could do was to put all such thoughts aside, take life as it came, and successfully live up to the name, Seniors The football team won the pennant this year, and we hope for as much success in basketball and baseball. The boys really deserve a great and wholesome cheer for their ambitious efforts. A Science Club was organized, a grand Minstrel was pro- duced, a Senior Banquet sponsored by the juniors was well attended, and a Prom was the last social affair at which we seniors had the privilege of showing our appreciation and grateful- ness for a high school career resplendent with highest glory and honor. Before concluding I must say that the idea of publishing a yearbook appealed to each and every senior, because it was our privilege to have one for the first time in the history of our school. Though we are joyous at the conquering of the trials and tribulations of these four years, it is with sincere sympathy and heartfelt regret that we leave an environment which we learned to love and will cherish throughout the remainder of our lives.

Junior Academic Class The time is fleeing, but the progress of the Junior Academic Class continues. and the school spirit of its members is undaunted, Since our entrance into high school, we have been constantly marching toward the goal of a successful graduation without faltering steps. We pride ourselves in having a high standard in the scholastic and social activities of the school. Although we are at a disadvantage considering the small enrollment of Junior Academic students, we can proudly declare that we have not slacked. To prove this statement consider the representation of our students in the extra curricular activities. Practically every organiza- tion, club, or team claims the membership of at least one Junior Academic student. These par- ticipants in the various activities have already earned considerable credit for their amazing feats in their particular Held. Since there is a variety of clubs, the students choose the one which appeals to their inter- est. Academic students, being partial to the various studies concerning the sciences, have a large enrollment in the recently-formed Science Club. The athletes of our class have also contributed their wits and skill to help to achieve the enviable sports' record which now exists. With pride we claim representation in the following: Science Club, Forensic League. Blue and lVhite Tat- tler Staff, Ciirls' Service Club, Art Club, Football, Basketball, Baseball, Swoyerville High School Orchestra and Band. and the Cheerleading Squad. Some may be inclined to think that we have neglected our social activities, but we haven't. Who can forget the talent displayed by our students in the minstrel show? We have done our utmost to promote the success of this annual minstrel show which supplies the funds for our crowning social achievements, namely, the Junior-Senior Prom and Banquet. We strive to make these affairs great successes so that they may long linger in the minds of the seniors, for pleasant memories are always welcomed. One can readily see that the Junior Academic Class has achieved great strides toward its golden goal of success. The Sailors' Log--fP1LgeHlirly 3 i . liirst Row. left to right: J. Siplxo, J.

Junior Commercial Class The Junior Commercial Class is one of the largest classes to enter the Swoyerville High School. We Juniors are proud indeed to be one of such classes, and proud also are we to say that the students possess varied talents as has been demonstrated by our intensely active parti- cipation in the assembly programs. Another stage of high school life shows our boys winning merited fame in the Held of athletics, Well do these athletes and we students. as fans and sup- porters. realize the necessity and importance of achieving the characteristic of good sportsman- ship to be expressed by us upon numerous occasions during our later life. Cooperation is shown in many other branches of school life. No one can deny that the whole-hearted efforts of the Junior Commercial Class were not gratefully received in the pro- duction of the Annual Minstrel. We may also say that as much ambition and courage was displayed by several members of the class in making our school paper, The Blue and White Talller, comparable with papers of other schools. The success of the minstrel and school paper was an inspiration for our group, and as a result the Commercial Class of the third year anxiously awaited the coming of the annual Senior Banquet. At the proper time, not one of our classmates hesitated to utilize the same vigor and determination toward the favorable end of an accomplishment of grave import: nevertheless, the gladness and gaiety which was seen upon the countenance of each prospective graduate was indeed a satisfactory compensation to those who prepared the joyous occasion. Since the following school term shall be our last, it is with a feeling of uneasiness that we leave the ranks of the Juniors: yet you may rest assured that our attainments during the next year will be achieved along the path so successfuly used by our parting Seniors. At any time in the future we will graciously acknowledge the visits of the graduates. Forever shall we treasure the friendships and companionships established with our elder schoolmates, and for- ever shall our best wishes for health, joy, and happiness be with the class of '41, I'ny1v Ilnirly-nm' 'l'lu' Nrlilnm' liuy 5 1 l ...

Sophomore Academic Class We are the Sophomore Academic Class of '4lf There are sixty-two of us, all willing workers and proud to be students of Swoyerville High. Our class is divided into two sections: 2Al, which has as its class officers: President, John Ciorda: Vice-President, Kathryn Smith: Secretary, Joseph Budashg Treasurer, Florence Sarnak: and ZA2, the president of which is Andrew Volack: Vice-President, Bernard Zuba: Secretary, Anna Mae Borsik: and Treasurer, Helen Muscavage. The only social activities undertaken by the Sophomore Academics were our Christmas parties. Under the able direction of our class officers these proved to be great successes. In extra-curricular activities, we have a good number of representatives. Nine of us be- long to the Amica Society: fourteen of us belong to the Art Club: one, to the staff of the Blue and White Tattler: and four, to the school orchestra. We have a good share of football, basketball, and baseball players. These athletes may be noted here as Leo Sticinski, Thomas Sekerchak, Andrew Volack, Emery Washko, Vincent Stukoski, Robert Pasternacki, Bernard Zuba, and Fred DiMaria. Other notable members of our class are Anna Mae Borsik, our pianist: Emily Jakupko, our drum majorette: Catherine Cooper, president of the Amica Society: Mary Herman, our yo- deler: Golfred Berrettini, our crooner: Alice Hanks, treasurer of the Amica Society: Thomas Sekerchak, the tallest boy in the high school: and Dolores Stefanko, vice-president of the Amica Society. It may be mentioned here that the assembly programs presented by the Sophomore Aca- demics this year have been very commendable. They were both educational and humorous. But the thing we Sophomore Academics are most proud of, is our school spirit. A large part of the student body present at football and basketball games are Sophomore Academics: and any school activity or undertaking which takes place is readily indorsed by us. On the whole, we have a class to be proud of: and there is not a single one of us who does not know it. Our hats go off to our class, the Sophomore Academics of '4l!

The results of the election in Miss f3anti's room were President. William Smith, one of our leading cheerleaders: Vice-President. Mary Gilmore: Secretary, Marguerite Hovan: Treasurer. Agnes Rusnak. ln Miss O'Donnell's room the results were President, Edward Andrjewski: Vice-Presi- dent, Steven Guzo: Secretary, William Romanoski: Treasurer, Francis Jugus. These officers are capable of caring for their duties in the proper manner. The Sophomore girls, in their freshman year, organized the Amica Club which presented a Christmas play much to the enjoyment of the students. The original Amica Club members still participate in the activities of the club. A Dramatic Club was also organized in their freshman year. This club presented several enjoyable plays. The class takes an active part in the Art Club and has members working on the staff of the Blue and lVhr'1e Tuttler. lt also has in its midst many promising young athletes in the helds of football and basketball. lt can boast of its many students who possess musical talent and are members of the school band. The sophomore students are looking forward with great anticipation to their junior and senior years when they will play a major part in the activities of the school. The students have supported all of the school's activities and will continue to do so in the future. The residents of Swoyerville may well be proud of the Sophomore Commercials who are now striving to become the leading business men and women of future years.

Volansky, Freshman Boys Soon after school had begun in September, down through the narrow corridors of our dear S.H.S. came the students who make the little town of Swoyerville proud of its high school. Last but not the least are those freshman boys, each with a countenance full of smiles, which make all girls both big and small turn and look at them twice. It was mid-September when Mr. Shakofski, our teacher, requested all students to hold a meeting for the election of class officers. The meeting was held: the consequences of which were Michael Beky being elected president, and Joseph Kishel, vice-president of the class. Entering high school for the first time was a thrilling event in our lives: it was like the day Dad first took Junior to the movies: it was a time which I firmly believe will never leave the memory of most students. Despite the fact that we were only Freshmen, we had a vague idea of class activities: the result of which was that little progress had been accomplished in forming clubs. Was it our fault that our thoughts of high school were contrary to what they are? Certainly not! In fact, any class entering high school for the iirst time will perhaps have the same ideas and thoughts we had. We may not have clubs and the like, but we had and always will have good football, basketball, and baseball teams as long as those freshman boys are as enthusiastic about sports as they were this year. Do you remember when those boys joined the ranks of our teams and struggled for the prestige we now possess? Surely you do. They helped bring home victories then. I am sure they won't turn us down in the future. Let us all keep in mind that all the effort each and every student puts into his work in school and out of school is making this community a better place to live in, and at the same time that person is becoming the kind of citizen that is cherished by all and the kind America needs to remain a true democracy.

Freshman Girls During the first semester of the school year l94O-41, many interesting activities had been discussed among the Freshman girls of both the High School and the Cahalan building. Since we were just beginning our high school life, we girls decided that clubs would promote friendship and greater understanding among ourselves and the entire student body. With this thought in mind, the Amica. the Lark. and the Penguin clubs were formed. Each of these clubs set forth a goal toward which the members worked unceasingly. The Amica Club de- cided that their chief objective was to be that of raising funds for the purpose of buying class rings when graduation time would arrive. The Lark Club appealed to those girls who were interested in sports. The social activities for the girls were sponsored by the Penguin Club. Our first class party since entering high school was held the day before our Christmas vacation began. Although we were only freshmen. the program of entertainment presented by us at this party attracted a large number of students from the upper classes. Evelyn Ber- rettini's tap dancing. and Josephine Stesney's accordion solos were loudly applauded by all the students who joined our party. This interest shown in the talent of the entertainers of our class led to their being invited as guests on a number of chapel programs. These recognitions not only enabled us to become better acquainted with the upperclassmen. but helped to make us feel that we were outgrowing our freshman shyness. With this school term at an end, the Freshman girls point with pride at both their so- cial achievements. and their scholastic record. The girls of the class of 1944 eagerly await the beginning of the next school term. and expect to make a commendable showing when they are full-fledged Sophomores. l'1l1lf ,llfl'fll-fIl'l 7'IIl' Snilwx' Img 1 if Our typists seem eager for advancement.

We do this because it contains only champions. For champions they are, these teams, each of which has had far more than its share of victory. The football team crushed all conference opposition to emerge victorious for its first con- ference championship. lt did this with the aid of one of the heaviest lines and finest backfields ever to represent our high school. When the final whistle ended the last game, and the scores for the entire seasons were compiled, the team showed that it had scored 213 points to the conference opponents' 43. Many of the, games were filled with spectacular thrills. In the Duryea game, Joe Cheskiewicz ran 90 yards for a touchdown when he intercepted a pass on his own 10 yard line. Harry Dorish ran 70 yards in the Luzerne game when he took the kick-off on his own 30 yard line. Edmund Gonglefski intercepted a forward pass in the Ashley game and ran 75 yards for a touchdown. The two greatest thrills the fans experienced during the entire season happened in the game with Edwardsville. Berganya and Kolojejchick each ran back punts 60 yards for touchdowns without having the opponents so much as lay a hand on them. The trophy for this championship is the largest ever received by our high school. It depicts a football player on a pedestal with an eagle on each of the four corners of the base. In basketball, the North League champions of 1937 and co-champions of 1940 were on the rampage again. Defeated in their, second and third starts by Pringle and Sugar Notch, they came back with a string of sixteeiilvictories in which they defeated every team in the League including those which had defeated it.' This string of victories terminated in a victory over Sugar Notch for the North League title, played at Kingston. The next game against Luzerne. Valley League champions, they lost. During the season, the team scored, in conference games, 835 points to their opponents 468. Swatko, Hazinski, and Sekerchak had 20, 18, and 22 points respectively in various games. Individual high scorers were Michaels, Swatko, and Cheskiewicz, in that order. High- est game scores were 65 to Pringle's 32, 57 to Plymouth Township's 10, 78 to St. Leo's 22. The baseball team of the 1940 season won every game except one of a three game series with Larksville. For this wonderful record, they received the North League and Valley cham- pionship trophies as tokens of victory. Part of this phenomenal success was due to the natural ability of the players and part to the excellent and thorough coaching of Mr. Palermo. The season began as usual with the scheduled North League games. When Swoyerville had beaten each team twice, they played against Larksville for the Valley championship which they won. During the season, Swoyerville won 10 games out of ll with a total score of 72 runs against the opposing teams' eight. The largest score piled up in one, game was 23 to l. In the course of these games, Dorish made one hundred and two strikeouts which gave him an average of 9 per game: and in one of them against Plains, he had 14. Berganya led in the batting followed by Dorish and Remetz. Several injuries were sustained by certain players during the various seasons. Gonglef- ski broke his arm during basketball practice, but he played in the Sugar Notch and Luzerne games with a cast on his arm from elbow to wrist. Dorish hurt his knee during practice for the East-West Football game, and as a result was not able to play basketball through the iirst part of the season. Cheskiewicz received an injury during the football season for which he had to undergo an operation, but he recovered in time to take part in most of the basketball games. , Now turn the page and prepare to enter the abode of champions.

BAND Our school band, consisting of thirty-six members, participated in many events in and outside of our community. It is also known for all the line performances it has given in the past years. There has' been an increase in the band and also an improvement in marching. Our band was first organized in the year 1939. It made its initial appearance on Me- morial Day in Swoyerville. Their, colorful blue and white uniforms added much color to the parades in which they participated. The band is under the direction of Mr. John Selinsky, who is to be congratulated for the hardships he has overcome in making the band a success. At the head of the band was the first majorette, Irene Krakosky. During the last year two more majorettes were electedg they are Irene Sidelko and Emily Jakubko, They are to be congratulated for their fine work. Their vivid uniforms and high stepping added in making the band a success. The following instruments are listed in this musical unit: drums, bass drums, cymbals, cornets, trombones, bass horns, clarinets and saxophones. No matter when called upon, the members of the band were ever willing to give their fellow students the beneit of their talents. In fact, their work was of an order to satisfy everyone. We have taken great pride in their achievements and in the excellent programs given during the past years. We wish to assure the members of our school band their labor has been deeply appre- ciated, and We feel that their work is of the highest degree.

YEARBOOK STAFF We have come finally to the epoch in our school life when our present memories and deeds are to be consummated. We, who have prepared this volume, present it to you with the hope that immediate pleasure and an everlasting interest in our high school may be the result of the turning of its pages. As time passes by and school days become more distant, by means of this book we may look back with pleasure on the minutes happily spent with friends about the campus. I The staff consisted of the late Jacob Miller, editor, who supervised the work and com- piled the write-ups: Catherine Ziegler, associate editor, succeeded him: Catherine Tomaskovic and Rita Adamchick took care of most of the write-ups: Margaret Bolsar, business manager, handled subscriptions and iinancial matters of the staff: Theodore Berganya and Helen Tom- asek assisted in collecting subscription funds: George Dolchak, sports editor, spent many hours on the football field and basketball floor: Genevieve Yaskolka, head typist, spent many hours at a typewriter to get all the work in: and Mr. Shakofski, adviser, assisted the entire staff. As a whole we wish to thank all who have, directly or indirectly, helped to make our yearbook a success. We also wish future senior classes success and as much enjoyment in form- ing their yearbook as we have had in producing ours. We worked hard and eagerly, but found enjoyment in all we did. Each new idea brought us closer to success, and each night spent working brought us closer to the finish of the book. We, who have done this work, have gained some skill in writing and typing, but most of all we have learned to appreciate the beauty of books. We never could have acquired such appreciation from reading or other methods except by actual participation. The entire group has worked hard and faithfully with the idea that you will find enjoyment in this book. May this treatise be to all of you fseniors especiallyj a key to the memories of days spent in Swoyerville High. Pitgr fnrly-nine-The Sailors' Lug E l i A an ,, l 4. L First Row, left to right: R.

As the name implies, this group was organized for the purpose of rendering its services to the school and to the community. The club has proven its worth to the community by aiding in the annual Red Cross drive, and also by soliciting funds on Tag Day. The funds were used in the purchasing of coffee urns for the local 109th unit. A few other important factors in establishing this unit was to increase social and ath- letic activities among the students, and to eliminate inferiority complex among the girls by ac- quainting them with a thorough knowledge of the fundamentals of social behavior. The group which is affiliated with the Y. W. C. A. makes frequent visits to that insti- tution: where, under trained supervision in various sports such as swimming, fencing, bad- minton, and dancing, the girls receive valuable instruction. Since the formation of the club many social affairs have been planned and successfully carried out. One of the outstanding events which the club held was the masquerade party which was held in the latter part of October, This affair climaxed a week of initiation activities when twenty-five junior girls were accepted into the club. A series of tea dances were sponsored by this organization and proved to be a great success. Fanti's Pond, Centermoreland, was the scene of several ice skating parties and wiener roasts. These affairs were well attended and were enjoyed by all. The Snilorx' Lnyw-Page jiffy liirst Row, left to right: S. Roth, J. Stesney. G. Rushin, A. Patera, R. Kmetz, H. Wisdo, l. Krakosky, Miss M.

ART CLUB An organization consisting of many ambitious students in the field of art was organized by Miss Mary Kearney, the present adviser. After being organized for a short time officers were elected. They are Joseph Markowitz, President: Catherine Ziegler, Vice-President: and Rita Kmetz, Secretary-Treasurer. A definite date had been appointed for the meeting and that day is Thursday. During this time the members discuss the work they have done outside of class. If any aid must be given them, Miss Kearney is ready to help them in any way possible. This organization helps students who are interested in art and gives them the basic steps in the development of their talent. Some of the different types of art work done by the members are faces, flowers, pencil sketching, water colors, etc. The art members are often called upon to make posters for the various organizations in the high school and are asked, annually, to decorate the classroom blackboards to make the Christmas season more cheerful. Many com- pliments were given them for the beautiful window decorations during the holidays. Each homeroom wishes to take this opportunity to thank Miss Kearney and the club members for adding some Christmas spirit to their room. Every year a large exhibition is given by the club. Their work is displayed so that others may see the talent of some of the students. These students have a future planned which can only be developed by practice and study.

Young, Head of the Science De- partment, in October 1940. lt offers to members of the senior and junior classes the oppor- tunities for more detailed study of scientific subjects and procedures which go beyond the or- dinary classroom courses in Physics and Chemistry. The members of the club are divided into groups according to interests. One group studies photography, another aeronautics, a third does experimental work in physics and chemistry, while a fourth group studies radio. The experimental group performs experiments not demonstrated in the regular class peri- ods, or optional experiments they are interested in trying. The aeronautical group studies books actually used by the government in training pilots. They confine their work not only to text books, but also collect and study pictures, magazines, diagrams, etc. of aeroplane construction and general information. A trip to the airport is planned. A model aeroplane has been constructed by one of the members. The radio group studies the theory and construction of radio transmission and reception. A trip had been made to statlon WERE to learn more first hand information about broad- casting, soundproofmg, recording, and transmitting. The photography group studied the theory of the camera, constructed a pin-hole camera, dismantled and compared a regular camera to one of the pin-hole variety, took pictures with both, developed negatives, made prints, and finally enlarged them. Trips already made or planned include the following places: The Times-Leader-Eue- ning News, station WBRE, Bell Telephone Co., airport, Vulcan Iron XVorks, Harding Power Plant, and the water purification plant at Hun tsville. In addition to the club sponsor, Mr. You ng, the following oiiicers guide the destinies of the club: President, Edward Gaj, who succeeded the late Jacob Miller, Jr.: Vice-President, Joseph Sweitzer: Treasurer, Victoria Suda: Secretary, Helen Tomasek, It is believed that this club, fills a long-felt need to stimulate interest in scientific subjects and helps overcome the lack of laboratory space encountered during regular class periods.
