Classes III. Sports IV. Extra Curricula dj! W :Ut ID We, the class of 1937, have tried to preserve in this volume a few glimpses of our high school days. If in future years this edition of the Sphinx brings hack fond mem- ories to those who have forgotten, we will have realized our aim. During these years of economic stress, many schools all over the country have had to close because of lack of funds for their upkeep. We, the class of 1937, pay this small tribute to our taxpayers who have enabled us to con- tinue our studies, un- interrupted. To our parents and townsmen, we dedicate this book.

Their achieve- ment is lowered into insigniflcance by the old 0-4 section clown in the main room in Junior High, which had one hundred per cent for six- teen consecutive weeks, no more, no less! At the same time 9-6 had 10092, for several weeks, the rival- ry during this period being very keen between the two sections. Every Tuesday the forces would rally around to make sure that their respective sections got a 2100 and to hope that the other section would slip up for that week. And now, this year, Miss Stei- gerwalt's 101 has rolled up an en- viable record having had the ban- ner for Senior High School all year with the exception of the first three times. 101 also has had twenty 1000fL's of which nine were consecutive ones. Mr. Purnell over in 102 Wasn't exactly asleep. His room ran close competition to 101 every bank day but just could not seem to make the grade. They have had six 100CZ,'s. This year isn't over yet and don't forget that 101 already has reached the goal nine times. It is likely that the 16-week record es- tablished last year will be broken. Sophs Break into Forensic Activities When the tryouts for debating were held this year most of the participants were Sophomores, so it is natural that several of those chosen are Sophs. Earl Swank, Robert Brandt, and William Grif- fiths were the lucky three. Louis Shofstall became timekeeper of the aflirmative team. Robert Brandt represented Ta- maqua High School in extempore speaking this season. The principal feature of our graduation from Junior High School was the presentation of the operetta Green Cheese. This is the second time in Junior High's history that an operetta has been presented. Mr. Kemmer- er had wanted to have such a pro- duction for several years but be- cause of insufficient talent up un- til 1936 this was impossible. Green Cheese had a cast of forty stdents, members of the class of 39 , and was presented June 17, 1936. At its conclusion diplomas were given to the class. The cast consisted of twenty- three girls and seventeen boys. However, only three of the eight principals were girls. The first act contained seven songs, the second five, and the third five making a total of three acts and seventeen numbers. Between acts there was a violin solo by Bertha Myers and selections by a trumpet trio con- sisting of William Schmauch, Norman Donald, and Robert Keich, the complete performance taking about two hours. The plot concerned Johann Von Bimmer, a cheese maker's son with an inventive turn of mind and his love, Trini Schultz, daughter of the Mayor of Uppen- down. Their romance was inter- rupted by the advent of an Ameri- can capitalist. Complications en- sued resulting in the turning down of an offer for an American film career for Trini and a posi- tion as cheese maker in a large factory for Johann. Everything ended happily. Those faculty members in charge of the production of this show were: Mr. Martin T. Kem- merer, Miss Mary E. Brewer, Miss Elsie J. Terry, Miss M. Winifred Jones, and Mr. E. F. Miller. Jean Reichelderfer, an eighth grade pupil was pianist, and the Senior High School orchestra played sev- eral selections preceding and fol- lowing the operetta. 51 On June 17, 1936, at 2 P. M. in a gala ceremony, featured by an operetta at the Majestic Theatre the class of 39 graduated from Junior High. The 276 matriculates composing the class received di- plomas from the hands of Pro- fessor F. G. Horner with great joy. With a whoop and o huzzah they rushed wildly from the con- fines of the old building which had been the scene of so many of their joys and sorrows, all to the great joy of the teachers who had been so faithful throughout the three long years. The number that graduated, 276, exceeded by far that of any other class, last year's class num- bering only 186. When they reached Senior High they almost outnumbered the Seniors and Ju- niors combined. Although many have discontinued since last year it is safe to predict that 39 will set a new record for the number of graduates from Tamaqua High School. The Sophomore Class is an in- dustrious class! They are filled with the do or die spirit! They have initiative! During the past they have been the champions of all good and little bad. They cam- paigned successfully for many things: a good news-sheet, a good graduation danceg a good banking record. Senior High! it is your duty to direct this initiative on its road to greater, further, higher suc- cess. You have a heritage. Use it to the ultimate edllication of us all! The Folly of Quitting School Classmates! We graduated a. record number from Junior High School last year. Since then many of our comrades have left school. It is not to those who were really needed at home that this brief 193 7 be Sphinx THE SODHCMDIQE Wl'Ill2L discussion is addressed but to those who were too lazy and didn't have the courage to finish their schooling. Free public education is a won- derful thlng. High school, too, is a wonderful thing. Think of all the good times you have in school and that thing called education which you receive. Many times I have heard older people say that the happiest and most carefree days of their lives were spent in high school. And at the same time you are enjoying life so much you are preparing yourself to enjoy it later. Let us take the practical side of the matterg quitting school will you. During times one wishes to hire high school pupil never beneiit like these no an immature when older employees are theirs for the asking. Besides, what if you do land a job: the few paltry cents which you will make while you could have been finishing your high school course will be dwarfed into insignificance by the amounts your friends will make by virtue of having finished high school. Let's all stick together and fin- ish our schooling so that We may reap the many advantages which come from a well-balanced high school education. Wilter Watchall In the Observatory Sophomores girls snared seniors right and left. Some victims were Derr, Roberts, Graff, Saylor, Brewer, and Pfeil. Several of our classmates felt that to attain success their brains needed individual attention. Bumps VVelfley now haunts Fordham Prep and Betty Sour- ber makes life brighter at Linden Hall. Grapevine Specials: Steinert and Sheeler are still going strong after three years. Scott and Evans will be together again next year. Spotts and Reutter will iight a duel to the death over Shirley Schoener. Mr. Jewells lectures about mar- riage. Where does he get all his information? Rumors have it that Earl Swank wears red flannel under- wear every year from August 1 to July 31. H. Patterson, though an accom- plished violinist, can't seem to make up her mind-first fiddle in Donald's Trumpeteersu, second fiddle in Christ's Batoniesu, etc. Mr. Kemmerer went dashing off to Emaus and carried home a bride. Mr. Welker has been mar- ried for several years, so this means that Mr. Purnell is the only one of the trio still single. It won't be long now! Any choice rot that was neg- lected will be taken care of in next year's Sphinx. Football During the 1936 campaign the Sophomore Class was well repre- sented on the football squad hav- ing several regulars. Tepo played end and was one of the outstand- ing performers of the team. Al- ton Gould and Samuel Schaeffer played tackle and guard respec- tively. These three, Tepo, Gould, and Schaeder all received their T , Although the season was not a particularly successful one the boys played hard and did their best, which is all that can be ex- peted from anyone. A wealth of material is on hand for next year. Interclass Basketball As far as the Sophomore class is concerned this year Inter-class Basketball was not a very success- ful sport. Everybody beat us every time! However it was a case of being outclassed, not out- spirited. Those participating were Robert Hartwig, Paul Zenone, Cal- vin Loew, Jack Pauley, Primo Campigotto, Robert Keich, Ken- neth Osenbach, John Kalvinsky and Charles Shimkonis. Many Sophomores In Operetta The annual Senior High oper- etta was produced on March 10 with a cast of 85 persons among whom were 23 Sophomores. Of these, five were principals, four tenors, five basses, one soprano, one alto, two dancers, three vio- linists, one trumpet, and one clari- net. The performance was warm- ly commended by all of the spec- tators. We feel that this is quite an accomplishment. Mr. Kem- merer assured us that this is the tirst year there has been such a large percentage of sophomores in the cast. 52 Basketball This year our class had slightly more than the usual Sophomore influence in basketball. 39 pro- vided the varsity center for this sport. Several times other Sopho- mores started games but didn't seem to click, this probably being due to lack of experience and size. The center mentioned was, of course, George Tepo, and the other players who saw service were Christ, Andrukltis and Mock. Christ and Andrukltis play- ed forward while Mock is a guard. About one-half of the Junior Varsity Team was composed of Sophomores and had a fairly good record for the season, winning 11 games of the 21 played. Sopho- mores who played Junior Varsity basketball were Warren Christ, Jerome Andrukitis, George Mock, Robert Seiwell, Robert Hartwig, and Paul Zenone.

Blythe Township High School came up to the new Tamaqua Stadium and fairly swept Tamaqua fans off their feet with a dis-r play of great foothaii playing. The first-half saw the Hiiitoppers score their entire 25 points with long runs. Our secondary defense seemed weaic and failed to stop many supposedly easy runs. However the second-half was more even and Blythe was unable to score. The Tams were held scoreiess through-out and the game ended with Blythe leading 25-0. TAMAQUA 0 - MT. CARMEL 6 After the complete rout of September 18, hy Blythe, the Tams put up a far hetter exhibition of foothaii against the highly favored Tornado eieven of Mount Carmel.

Good defensive work on the part oi the Blue Raiders kept the score down. but a weaic offensive attacic halted our own attempts to score. TAIVIAQUA 6 - MAHANOY CITY 25 With the first touchdown of the year, the Tams were ahie to hoast of a score against a powerful and heavy Niaroon team from Mahanoy City. But scoring one touchdown was not enough to win, because the Maroon attack was more effective against our defense and the opposition taiiied 25 points on four touchdowns and one point after touchdown. in the second period, after a running attack of 48 yards, Duncavage was ahie to score on a two yard spurt off right tacide. The point after touchdown was ruled void. TAMAQUA 0 ,- NESQUEHONING 26 The Tams were hosts to the Nesquehoning High School team for the first time in a number of years, on Octoher 25.

Whether the cold weather had some- thing to do with the Tams' weak playing or whether it was the fact that the game 65 1937 The Sphinx was the first day game at home for the Tams this season it stiii remains that our defense and offense was of the weaicest sort. The Hitters ran riot in every quarter of the game and ended the game on the long end of a 20-0 score.
