TI-IE CAM PF I RE TALE by FIRE WOOD lFind ,as many names of Seniors as you can in the following Mystery l Though we all enjoyed a visit to Weird Springs last year, exceptional events that took place there a few years ago have caused erroneous reports to be circulated that Anne Rivers lwho disappeared from therel was a sorcer- ess. As Sam Angust of Kossuth said in regard to the place, It is an evil region. And reassure yourselves upon this point-you are running a risk when you visit it. But , I said, This is not so. Taking a trip to that beautiful region has never harmed anyone. Ha! Ha! As a ranger, well do I remember how I roamed that country far and wide, having been employed by the state to study and map the then unknown land. Don't ever be alarmed by the stories you hear concerning that place. Tell us the story, Fidgety BilI Cummings yelled out as he threw more wood upon the fire. Why was she called a witch? I can't wait to hear about t'he story. All right, I will-I am satisfied to tell you the truth about the whole affair, I remarked. I abhor nervous campers who are out for their first over- night camping trip. So here goes. Affel Kerbow, Arnes Terrel and myself were camping about a half mile from the Spring one summer day I 5 years ago. After dinner we started for the stream, intending to fish a while. Suddenly, weird sounds were heard about tlhree hundred yards up the stream. Someone is in distress Alf whispered. Let's investigate I said. Laying down our poles, we three strong, capable youths began to work our way upstream. If we are able we ought to try to surprise them , Terrel said. Again the weird shrieks were heard, closer this time. l'm quite certain now that someone is in need of our help , I de- clared. Let's hurry on. We may be too late. So saying, like an eagle I made ready to swoop down upon the scene of apparent trouble. Imagine our surprise to find out that we had come upon a school band practicing for the Amateur Hour. To our chagrin we realized we were led to the place through our own inquisitiveness. But this was not all. From the opposite side of the glade emerged a woman. She seemed to be an important personage in this little group. As she passed by the place where we had hidden ourselves, we 'heard her sigh Ol Well! I guess I'Il have to. While we were wondering what she meant, the leader of the band sud- denly spoke out, We'ave really worked hard this afternoon and so I 'ave asked Miss Anne Rivers to give a short talk on the History of Music while we are resting. Slowly the speaker arose and, in a slow and deliberate manner, said: From Pan to Pandemonium. To this day I am not quite sure how she escaped that enraged crowd. She just went zipping through their midst and vanished into the woods. At 46 Jim 7936 Splzbzx, least, she was never seen again. Since then, there have been many theories advanced as to her whereabouts. Some say she went to Bering Strait to stay, lorn and broken in spirits. Others, that she escaped and became a robber, nervy and sly. And some even think that she went to the belligerent nation of Zunobia. But as for myself, I have no idea how she escaped or where she went. And so that is the story of Weird Springs. lf you have not been successful in your effort, see page 48 for identification.

Eleanor's Houser was to be built on Ruth's Hill through which ran a narrow Ditch-ey. But a Storm came up which delayed construction for a while. One day a Wolfe on Ruth's Hill appeared and scared Faie who with a Chisnell Spotts the Wall. The wall was weak and was about to fall down when Dominic erected a Postillion to hold it up. Ruth-inserter of the Bell-is now installing Georgian lights. While the Mack truck was carrying bricks to the builders, one of the roof-workers slipped and grasped a hanging log. A half-breed running to the rescue kept shouting, Klingaman-klinga-l help you. We received a thrill when the Marshall attended our first dinner in our new home, a di-nner of: Berries picked by Mary, a delicious roasted Burkey, Campbell's vegetable soup, Dun Cabbage, Fryed Fisher, a roasted Cioeser, Herring, Rice, Shad, Trout and Hirsh bars. We had so many varieties of fish because it was Valentine's Friday. We did not mind eating this food but we did mind the grocery Bill-man. After dinner we played cards and in the first pinochle game Spadys were made trump. But we quit as soon as the players began throwing ciga- rette Butts around. There are many other things about a house and its furnishings that a woman can Wright about but this Sphinx space is limited. So . . . so long. A SOPHOlVlORE'S LAM ENT Boy, am l sore!

Kistler Student Managers FOOTBALL RESUME ' From the standpoint of games won, and points made, the Blue Raiders experienced a poor season under the tutelage of Don Rubin, Hi's new coach. lt is hard to realize, however, the terrific odds that faced the new mentor when he called his squad for practice in September. T-here was only one veteran player back from the previous year. The squad averaged, in weight, at best only l5O lbs. The fans expected little, the papers expected littleg and the school expected little. Their expectations were fulfilled. But, when we look back on the record of that fighting group of boys-boys who were outweighed 20 lbs. by their opponents in every game-and see no victories and one tie, we are comforted by this t-hought: The thought of what that same bunch of lads- mostly Sophomores and juniors-will do in the l936 and I937 campaigns. Every cloud has a silver lining and this is the silver lin- ing to the i935 football situation. A team was being built in those same lost games that will astound the coal regions and put Tamaqua Hi back on the football map. --,,--f-.-.------.-.f..-..-.:,:..-.,-,:.A - A 72 jim. 7936 Spluhx, FOOTBALL BLYTHE TOWNSHIP 20-TAMAQUA O ' Tamaqua High opened her football season on the short end of a 20-O score against Blythe Township. For three periods the Blue Raiders fought off desperate attacks by the visitors, but in the final period, a long run and an intercepted pass paved the way for the last two scores. High could not get her attack working, her closest distance to a score being a drive to Blythe's 25 yard line. LANSFORD 34-TAMAQUA O ' Crashing thru' to two touchdowns and a safety in the first quarter, a powerful Lansford High Club went on to defeat Tamaqua High 34-O. High, while they were outscored and outplayed, went down fighting and in the final minutes of the third quarter put up a battle in front of their goal posts, taking the ball on downs. A 72 yard run for a touchdown sent Lansford away to her victory. MAHANOY CITY l2-TAMAQUA O ' One quick forward pass in the last minutes of the second quarter, and a drive in the final period carried the Mahanoy City High lvlaroons to a I2-O victory. ln the first half the Tams completely outclassed the lvlaroonsg the High defense being so strong that the visitors could not advance over the local's 35 yard line. Noticeable fumbling of punts was the Blue and White's greatest weak- ness. Outstanding in the play of the Maroons was the work of Stiney Setcav- age, who carried the ball for Mahanoy City three quarters of the time. lt was his good arm that threw a pass to Sekula for the Maroon's first score. ' COALDALE I9-TAMAQUA 0 ' Holding a favored Coaldale High eleven to a scoreless tie in the first half, in fact outplaying them practically all the way, Tamaqua High faltered in the second half and lost t-heir annual struggle to the Panther Valley scholastics at Coaldale. It was a much better ball game than the score indicates, the Blue and White team playing good football all the way. A few long runs, where the ball carrier got out in the clear behind good interference changed the complexion of the contest. High had one real scoring opportunity in the final minutes of the third period, when they drove to Coaldale's ll yard line for a first down. The fourth quarter opened with a last down. A pass was knocked down and Sachon, Coaldale back, sprinted 25 yards around end to remove the ball from the danger zone. The locals made a gallant stand in the fourth quarter when Coaldale made a first down three yards from the goal line. The Panther Valley club could crash over only on their fourth down. Coaldale's touchdowns came on a blocked kick, a fourth down line plunge from the l yard line, and a sustained drive of 79 yards from the kick-off as the second half opened. - - - f. .-. 1- f-. .-. .-. .- .A. .-. .-. f. .A. --- .-. .+. - - - - 7 3 l WMNWNJIQ 7936 ,Spluhnc WEST HAZLETON O-TAMAQUA O ' A fighting Blue and White eleven reached the peak of its achievements by staging a gallant battle against overwhelming odds to hold West Hazleton High to a scoreless deadlock. Making 3 great goal line stands, Tamaqua played great defensive foot- ball but the locals couldn't get an offense clicking. The local lads would undoubtedly have taken this game except for West Hazleton's punter, Scotnicki, one of the finest punters in Eastern Pennsyl- vania. Time after time he set the Blue and White back by his kicks ranging from 50 to 64 yards. Tamaquans who saw action were: Lockwood, Wyld, Benson, Stancik, Miller, Garis, Williston, Scott, Zubey, Pierson, Williams, Pauley, Kemery. MOUNT CARMEL 34-TAMAQUA O ' Mount Carmel's hard charging football machine, by far the best team Tamaqua played during her 1935 season, upset the Blue Raiders at the home stadiumwto gain a 34-O victory. The crowd marvelled at the teamwork of the Red Tornadoes who swept across the gridiron in a manner typical of their name. Perfect blocking and hard tackling brought the upstate team 5 touchdowns. The Blue and White eleven made one serious bid for a touchdown, when on a long forward pass and an l8 yard run a Tamaqua back raced to Mt. Car- mel's 20 yard line. Here, however, the Mount Carmelites rose in their might to stop 2 line plunges dead and to knock down 2 forward passes. The locals best attack was through the air where they gained 42 yards. POTTSVI LLE 33-TAMAQUA O ' ln the second game away from the home stadium, Rubin's boys went down to an ignominous defeat at the hands of Pottsville High's highly touted eleven. Passing was the feature in Pottsville's new, lighted stadium. They showed smooth forwards, a few laterals and good punting. Dietrich, Potts- ville fullback, was the most consistent ground gainer. FRACKVI LLE 25-TAMAQUA O ' Frackville High took a 25-O decision from the locals to close the Tamaqua home season. After a scoreless first period, the Frackville lads got themselves a 6 pointer late in the second quarter. They scored twice in the third and once in the fourth period. Tamaqua threatened only early in the first quarter when they reached their opponents' 26 yard line. The advance was ihalted by a local back's fumbling. SUMMIT HILL 25-TAMAQUA 6 ' Summit Hill, on -her own field, defeated the Blue Raiders 25 to 6. Tama- qua's sole consolation was the scoring of her first and only touchdown of the season.

Only a small crowd braved the snow and cold to see the two clubs put on the game that was postponed from Thanksgiving. 5 While the Blue Devils walked away with the points, the Blue and White eleven played a great ball game all the way. Several times they ad- vanced within Shenandoah's lO yard line but could not quite score. Not for a minute did the town club quit trying. When the game ended the Raiders were on the Shenandoah three yard line, desperately trying for a touchdown. A blocked punt and a quick forward pass scored for the Shenandoah club.

Basketball Resume Coach Eli Purnell Faculty Manager R. B. Stapleton H d E Student Managers ay en vans George Waidell ' The Blue Raiders of Tamaqua, under the able coaching of Eli M. Purnell, experienced their most successful season in several years. They won 23 games and lost only 6 out of a total of Z9 played. Because Allentown was barred from the District ll eliminations, Tamaqua and Hazleton were or- dered to stage a playoff. Tamaqua won 27-26, de- feating Hazleton for the t-hird time this season, ithe only Tamaqua team to ever accomplish that featl gaining undisputed right to second place in the league, and also qualifying for competition in the District ll playoffs. In the eliminations the Blue and White won over Catasauqua and lost to Freeland, thus reaching the semi-finals before defeat. Let us join together in whole :hearted praise of a t good, clean, honest team and at the same time let us hope that next year's team has as much power, COACH PURNELL fight and stamina as this great club had. 79 Jim 7936 .Sphbzx IUNIOR VARSITY Reading from left to right, bottom row:.S.

All goals were scored after clever ball handling by the entire team. Only one substitution was made by Coach Purnell in the engagement -Dornblazer broke into the lineup in the fourth session. Luckshides will be the only one who played to be back for competition next season. In the preliminary game the Bethlehem junior Varsity club champions of the layvee Eastern League easily defeated the locals 3l -Zl. 86 Wwccmyfm 7936 jpluhx, Sixteen Players Used By Purnell in Final C-ame ' Tamaqua easily scored a dual victory over Nesquehoning High in the Senior High gym as the curtain was pulled down on the regular season.

The final score was 38-26, the Whippets turning the same trick, a last period rally, that Tamaqua turned to beat Catasauqua. The Freeland club heralded as a bunch of sharpshooters proved their mettle, sinking fifteen two-pointers from all positions and all parts of the court. They cashed in on eight out of seventeen fouls while the Raiders made ten out of twenty-two fouls. The first break against the locals came when Del Schaeffer was forced to leave the court in the second period on personal fouls. Fegley went in and played a steady game until the end.

They added a touch of color and music to an already lively exhibition. ' The doors opened at 7 P. M. and several hundred fans were already on hand. ' Did you see Mr. Stapleton being mobbed as :he sold those tickets at the gym? ' Whitehead's sleeper in the second period brought the fans to their feet. ' Tamaqua was scouted by Frackville, Freeland, and Catasauqua. ' Did you stay home and listen to station WAZL? Maybe next time you'll loosen up and buy a ticket for my friends from Scotland tell me that recep- tion was very poor indeed. CATASAUQUA ' Catasauqua sold 664 tickets in advance while Tamaqua sold over 500. The paid attendance was l455. The total Tamaqua delegation was about 650. ' Catasauqua's band rendered many fine selections. It is a sixty-five piece outfit, organized only last fall but plenty proficient. ' Kenny Keich was acting captain and did a fine job. ' The Tamaqua squad did not reach the gym until 7.30 p. m.: but they received a rousing cheer as they went to the dressing rooms. ' Yes-those games start on time. 8 p. m. E. S. T., Promptly! ' Let's congratulate Marlin Schaeffer. He seemed to he Tamaqua's only cheer leader, while the Lehigh Valley school had several. How did you like the- blonde? ' ' When Pinky entered the rousing cheer extended him showed that fandom appreciates what he did for Tamaqua High basketball. ' P. S.-Will you ever forget that fog on the way home? FREELAND ' Nearly 700 local fans were in attendance, while Freeland had about the same number. The game drew around l800 basketball fiends. ' Where did all those cops come from when that fight almost started. Was I glad that l was in the balcony! Those darn nightsticks looked pretty hard. ' Luckshides had the prettiest shot of the game. lt was a long one from the center of the floor neatly through the rim. ' Snow flurries slowed up travel back home this time. ' Why didn't the bus break down? some asked. lt is the first time for quite a while that the Blue Raiders crossed the Blue Mountain without a stop. 88 .f 5-36 93 I RSITY VA I I I I I I 311619 65,011,106 I IEIOJ. puegamj enbnesmej uo4alzeH Suguoqanbsagq waqalqmg 9Ll.lOJ3f 'JS IIIH ilu-'W 'S MQ Aoueqew augnsuod qeopueuaqg umoxuauv Suguoqanbsayq uo4se3 pmgsueq UOIBIZEH uuaqalqgag qssnj Swquagqnw awwaf 'xg MID Aoueqew PJOJSUE1 anmsuod !UI-UVIIV uMo4uaHV IIIH 4!U U-WIS uoxseg qeopueuaqg uo4alzeH snewg 8mqs8gNu0 lI'IOWlNfT1W'OOUNY3'UXNYT' KO N N N N1 N1 N N I I N N I I I I I I N I I Wallauer I I I I 8. 6.

GLEE CLUB ' The Girls' Glee Club under the direction of Mr. Kemmerer consists of 50 regular members and 4 reserves, chosen from the three classes after a voice test. Practices are conducted every Tuesday morning during a period set aside for that purpose. The Glee Club had no competition for the county musical contest and were, therefore, declared county champs. At the state eliminations Oil City won the cup. During the year the girls sang at several churches, the Rotary Club, t-he Undertaker's Association and at the graduation exercises. 98 Jim 7936 .Spluiuc TAMAQUA HIGH SCHOOL BOYS' B-AND ' The band most successfully passed its second-year milestone under the able direction of Martin T. Kemmerer. The band 'has advanced surprisingly in musical and drill ability. We hope and feel sure that, if it continues its rapid rate of advancement, in the near future it will realize its dream of being state champions. The band went to all football games and bent itself to the task of giving its wholehearted support when it was most needed. Between the halves the Bugle Corps and the Band gave a show that was worth the price of admission. At the time this is written Mr. Kemmerer expects to present another enjoy- able, and, we are sure, successful concert in the spring. 99 VWMMJM 7936 Spluhx, TAMAQUA sENioR HIGH SCHOOL BUGLE, FIFE AND DRUM CORPS ' This organization, consisting of 107 girls has risen to state recognition under the competent leadership of Miss Salama Steigerwalt, Faculty Adviser and Manager, Harry I.

The purpose of Banking is to encourage the habit of thrift. At the beginning of the sc-hool year, two cashiers were elected in each homeroom to receive the weekly deposits of the students. The room having the 'highest percentage of bankers each week was awarded a banner. After getting off to a poor start in banking, a group of rooms banded together in order to create rivalry. As a result of this keen competition banking has gradually come forward bringing with it an interest in the trhrift habit.
