Here's to the school of the Blue and White, Whose colors will always fly. Here's to her sons, the best on earth, True as the stars above. Here's to the school that fosters us, Here's to the school we love. Claorur Tamaqua High, Tamaqua High, Thy praise to thee we sing. Your sons so true and daughters, too, Will glory to you bring. Our Alma Mater true you are, And though we journey far, The thoughts of you so good, so true, Our best will help us do. And as the years shall roll along, Still will we bring to thee Stories of honor and glory won, Though scattered from sea to sea. Your sons who already have reached the goal And those in the years to come, Will strive for honors to bring to you, Success will mean work well done. - 6 4 T'1?1'v . -wr WJ? 9 ,, , ' -Q 1 . ,-l,J -a . ff, v J , I , x , f !' v L l s x if ' .. 1 YQ f , .f N.

SPHI Junior Achievement NOW we are juniors and we are back again to tell you what we have done and what we hope to do. Boasting? Not at all-we are going to show you our part in school life. You ask the questionsg we will try to answer them. Music? Music means operetta in Tamaqua High School. Our class did well in that. Over half the participants for the last two years were from the class of '39, Other or- ganizations? We had more than a fair representation in the Glee Club, the Band, and the Bugle Corps. Sports? This was right in our line. We presented to our school four basketball starters , six football huskies, and a bounding interclass team. Prepare for a big -year for '39. There are no flashes in the pan among these boys. You hit the nail squarely on the head. We surely aren't ashamed of our forensics. Last year we had half of the squad and this year it's five out of six. Also, the only speech contestant. Of course, there are many other things of which we could tell you, but our idea here is to give you the high-lights. Next year is our last and we will give full details in next year's book. We have a big class, perhaps the largest ever in High School, and we look forward to a senior year just as full of activity as the last two have been.

The activities for the year were concluded by a banquet for the staff. SPHINX W Yeti I The Hi -Y Club THE H1-Y CLUB was organized in Tamaqua High School for the purpose of creating, maintaining, and extending throughout the community high standards of Christian living. This year the club introduced several new features and continued many of the old Customs. One of the most importantinnovations was the limiting of membership and its accompanying rules for retaining membership. The usual initiation custom was continued and the club provided ushers to serve at pep meetings and football games. Trying to create more interest in athletics, the club sold football and basketball pins for the first time in its history. In order to carry out successfully its cooperation campaign, the club fumished proctors to take charge of a room if a teacher was absent. A Junior Hi-Y, under the guidance of the Hi-Y, was formed for the first time. It has a membership of forty-five. Mr. Miller is its adviser and Dan Reutter is president. The Southeastern Older Boys' Conference was held at Pottstown and eight delegates from Tamaqua attended. Franklin Loew was elected president of the conference. Loew also attended the Harrisburg Council where plans are made for all the state clubs. - - Speakers at club-meetings throughout the year included William Wendel, Attorney Snyder, Mrs. Griliiths, Mr. W. Haines Kent, state secretary of Y. M. C. A., representa- tives of the Brainerd Society of Lafayette College, and E. Franklin Grifliths. The club was also active socially. The second annual spring dance was held on April 22 and the customary banquet was held at the end of the school year. OFFICERS Prerident FRANKLIN A.

The Bank Cashiers THE BANKING SYSTEM was begun in the Tamaqua Schools in 1927 and has been con- tinued because it has proved a success. There is no compulsion about banking, but be- cause the Seniors have found it a great help in saving money for graduation purposes, a Cashiers' Club is organized each year to point out the merits of thrift and to remind pupils to bring their extra money. This year the club was organized immediately after school opened. It consisted of all the cashiers, the news reporters, and Miss Fey. Every effort was made with marked success to convince students of the practical value of banking. The average for the year was about twenty-two per cent which is an excellent mark, when economic conditions are considered. Each cashier was given an armband to wear on Mondays to remind the students of banking the next day, Averages and comments were placed in the News every week by Reporter Robert Brandt. SPHI X fm F4 Li E' ..- . Le Cercle Francais LE CERCLE FRANCAIS, which is the ofiicial name for the French Club, was reorganized this year. All members of the Senior French class belong to it. Meetings were held once a month during a class period. The programs, under the supervision of a committee appointed each month by the president, were designed to give the club practice in French conversation and song. They included reading French newspapers, hearing French phonograph records, playing French games, and dramatizing the stories and plays read in class.

Elva Matto served as the accompanist for the musical pro- grams. This club was the first of its kind ever to be formed in Tamaqua High. SPHINX W' r- .. , The Debating Team: UNDERTAKING several different types of debates on two subjects, the coach, Miss Salama Steigerwalt, used altogether six persons as speakers. They were: Doris Sterner, jean Stro- hecker, Calvin Loew, William Qriliiths, and Captains Earl Swank and Robert Brandt. Tamaqua defeated Hazleton in two debates on the question Resolved: That all electric utilities should be governmentally owned and operated. Using the same persons for both the allirmative and negative sides, the school was represented by Loew, Swank, and Brandt. The subject for all other debates was Resolved: That the several states should adopt a unicameral system of legislation. A dual, non-decision debate was held with Lansford on this subject. The line-up for these debates were Strohecker and Swank, afiirmative, and Grifliths and Brandt, negative. Competing at a large tourney held at the Allentown Preparatory School, the Ta- maqua teams were eliminated in the middle stages. In four debates, two each with Hazleton and Mt. Carmel, only one defeat was suffered. These debates were dual, three-speaker attractions. The aiiirmative speakers were Sterner, Strohecker, and Swank, the negative speakers were Griffiths, Loew, and Brandt. As there was no county competition this year, we won by default the right to com- pete in the Eastern district finals at Northampton. There Tamaqua's teams composed of Loew, Grifiiths, Swank, and Brandt defeated Bangor, Barrit Township, and Palmer- ton, to win the right to compete in the state finals. Tamaqua's lone speech contestant, Robert Brandt, earned the right to compete in the state finals by winning the county championships at Mahanoy City and repeating in the district contest at Northampton. He was coached by Mr. A. C. Stine. Reading from left to right, front row: XVm, Griffiths, D. Sterner, Miss Steigerwalt J Stro heeher, R. Brandt. Second row: C. Loew, L, Shofstall.

SPHIQ f S MUSIC AND DRAMA SPHINX Operetta s 'TUNE IN , a comedy operetta, was presented on the stage of the Majestic Theatre on March 10 by a perfectly trained cast under the direction of Professor Kemmerer. It proved to be a huge success and the untiring efforts of the cast and the director were amply rewarded by the way in which the operetta was received by the audience. The story dealt with the unsuccessful efforts of a very ambitious woman to get on the air. Her adventures supplied fun for everyone.

The Boys, Band Condurtor: PROFESSOR KEMMERER Drum Major: GEORGE CHRIST THE BOYS' BAND, under the able leadership of Professor Kemmerer, had a very success- ful year. It played for all the football games at home and away, was active in many local parades and furnished music for several parades in other towns. In September the Band marched in the Constitution Day Parade at Bethlehem and in October it went to Pine- grove for the Odd Fellows Parade. The Band was also active in school affairs. Band members sold pencils printed with the basketball schedule and conducted a refreshment stand at basketball games. The money obtained from these activities is put into a music fund which is used to replace uniforms and supply music. The Band is a very popular organization which does a lot of good for boys inter- ested in music. Reading from left to right, front row: Professor Kemmerer, Director: J. bhort, L. Jones C. Gerber, J.

E611 SPHI The Bugle, Fife, and Drum Corps OUR BUGLE CORPS under the guidance and management of Miss Steigerwalt has become, since its beginning in September, 1950, one of the most famous girls' organizations in Pennsylvania. It is in great demand for parades in our own state and in neighboring states as well. Miss Steigerwalt began with nothing except a big idea, plenty of faith, and a lot of discouragement, and she has built an organization that has done much good for a great number of girls and for Tamaqua. E The Bugle Corps is composed of 109 girls, selected according to their ability and scholastic standing. Besides the girls there are live equipment boys and the Corps staff. This is composed of the following: . . MISS STEIGERWALT, Faculty Advirer and Manager HARRY KNORR, Drill Mailer JOHN C. BROOKS, Drum Irzftrrrrtor HARRY LAUER, Bugle and Fife Imlrrrrtor MISS HELEN KISTLER, Arfiflant Drill Mailer The Corps was greatly improved this year by the addition of new equipment. It received new lyres, drums, batons, skirts, Scotch drums, bugles, and a large, silk Ameri- can Hag valued at 3125. The flag was a gift from the Tamaqua Lodge of the Loyal Order of Buffaloes. SPHINX -9621 I gwgvm.. T' a ws'4wqm r 3, g The girls took part in many local activities during the year. They attended all the home football games and drilled on the field about fifteen minutes before the games. They were present at the dedication of the South Tamaqua road. They paraded for Gov- ernor Earle when he visited here. They took part in the Columbus Day parade. They took part in the See Yourself in the Movies campaign. In August an open air pageant was given at the High School Stadium. Major Robert C. Manley of the U. S. Army reviewed the girls before the performance and compli- mented them on their fine marching, neat appearance, and good behavior. There were also out of town parades in Easton, Lancaster, and Pottsville. In all these parades the girls took first prize. The Bugle Corps became nationally known last September through the American Legion, which sponsored a trip to New York City for participation in the National American Legion Convention Parade. The trip was a success from the standpoint of entertainment and money received. In the dining hall of Gimbels the Corps played sev- eral selections. Two sightseeing tours were taken by bus which showed the girls the principal sights of the city. When they returned, the C. H. Berry Post presented the organization a check for 35347, which was the money left in the treasury after expenses had been paid. Several trips are being planned for the summer. The Corps will go to Phillipsburg, New jersey in june and to the Elks Convention in Atlantic City in july. W SPHI Reading from left to right, front row: L. Lloyd, C. Brode, S, Marchetti, H. Bufty, E.

Senior Dramaties Club OFFICERS President JACK WEHRY Secretary-Trea.fm'er LEAH LLOYD Advifer MR. A. C. STINE THIS CLUB is an organization composed of fifteen members. The members were chosen as a result of tryouts which were held early in the year. The club gave the following Plays during the year: I Want to Get Married at the Get-Together Party. just What They Wanted at the Christmas Party. The Awakening at a Rotary Meeting. A banquet was held for the members at the close of the school year. SPHINX W The Senior Class Play THE ANNUAL SENIOR CLASS PLAY was held in the Majestic Theatre on May 6. The play, Apple Sauce, was not a comedy of the slapstick, mistaken identity type, but rather a subtle, fast moving play that required real acting and depended on situations as well as lines for its humor. The play showed an average American home in which the mother and father wanted to see their daughter Hazel married comfortably to the rich, self-satisfied Rollo jenkins. These plans were spoiled by the appearance of Bill MacAllister whose chief asset seemed to be flattery, shamelessly and thickly spread on, with which he changed Rollo's opinion of Hazel and later talked Uncle Matt into paying his bills and supporting Hazel and him. Jennie had many amusing lines as she told about her domestic troubles with George and the mean way he treated her. Matt MacAllister was the proverbial grouch in all except the closing scenes of the play. Ma and Pa Robinson added humor to the play in their eternal squabbling and nagging at each other, Hazel, a sweet, charming little girl, got angry only once in the entire play. The production was given before a good house and was a decided success. This is the cast of characters: MA ROBINSON .... .. . Sarah Marchetti PA ROBINSON ..... . . .

Captain Klein scored both touchdowns. Tepo, fullback, kicked two placement goals for the points after touchdowns. MAI-IANOY CITY AT TAMAQUA-OCTOBER 15 Tamaqua High's winning streak of four straight games came to a halt when the Mahanoy City Maroons, playing their best ball of the season, upset the locals by a score of 19 to 6. It was a great comeback the upcountry club made, for the Tams scored first. Andru- kitis scored after a brilliant, steady 78 yard march down the field. The locals were dealt a severe blow when Captain Klein, a great leader, was forced to leave the game in the second quarter.

Once again the aerial attack was broken up. In the last quarter drive, a number of reserves were in the game, and they looked promising in the way they hit the line and shot passes over the line of scrimmage. The final score was 25-0. LANSFORD AT TAMAQUA-NOVEMBER 7 Driving 90 yards for a touchdown in the final quarter, the Red and White eleven of Lansford High handed the Blue Raiders their fourth defeat by a 7-0 score before a crowd of 2,500.

Height: 5' 8 The brains of the team, Chuck was fortunate in becoming both the quarterback and captain, and under his capable leadership and signal-calling the Blue Raiders played several brilliant games. His line-bucking was outstanding, and it was he who generally plunged through to secure a first down or a touchdown for Tamaqua. Quick kicks, which quite often put the opponents in tight spots, were also Chuck's specialty. Given a chance, Chuck will display real ability in college football. JOSEPH DUNCAVAGE '38 Weight: 175 lbs. . Height: 5' 11 Joe's ability to pass for the team obtained for him a position as regular back at the beginning of the season. Although not being on the glory end of a pass, he did not care and his passes usually sped straight into a waiting teammates hands. joe also ran the end at times, and in the season's opener against Lehighton made an average of 20 yards for the team each time he handled the ball. Such playing will make him a sure bet for any team in collegiate ranks. GEORGE TEPO '39 Weight' 185 lbs. Height: 6' 2 As the fullback and end, Tepo did plenty of the plunging and end running. When Big George started off in that loping stride of his, it resulted either in a first down or a spectacular exhibition of open-field running concluded with a touchdown. Out- standing also was his pass-catching ability, which was responsible for quite a few of the team's scores. George was the team's regular punter, and when he sent up a long spiral, one could hardly guess when it would come down. SPHI X is JEROME ANDRUKITIS '39 Weight: 150 lbs. Height: 6' Whitey was the all position man in the backfield. He caught passes, ran the ball, kicked and was substitute quarterback. Like Tepo, he had a knack for snaring passes, especially the short, llat ones over center. Brilliant in his playing for the team was his 84 yard run on the kickoff which was responsible for the Blue Raiders' victory over Mt. Carmel. A triple threat player, Whitey has one more year service as a Blue Raider. END-LEONARD MILLER '40 Weight: 170 lbs. Height 6' The only sophomore to be a regular throughout the season, Lennie could always be counted on to cover the punts of his teammates and block out his man. His steady playing made him a real asset to the team. He also came in for his share of the passes, seldom letting them elude him. END-ROBERT HARTWIG '39 Weight: 185 lbs. Height 6' 1 Dependability was Bob's password. Whether he was to catch a pass or block out a man, he seldom failed the task. Wide awake on the defense, he caused Tamaqua's oppo- nents no little trouble at his end position. Bob also ran the ball numerous times on the kickoff, being in a position where the ball was usually kicked. TACKLE-JOHN GASPER '39 Weight: 165 lbs. Height 5' 10 A hard tackler, johnny hit the ball carrier with a force which made every ounce of his weight felt by the unlucky opponent in his grasp. johnny effectively held his position on the offensive, and seldom did the opposing quarterback pick the left tackle as a weak place over which to run plays. W SPHI X TACKLE-GEORGE SOLEY '38 Weight: 200 lbs. Height: 6' Soley was the type of tackle who was known by every player in the opponents back- field for his speedy and efiicient tackling. Offensively Soley proved to be an effective blocker and barrier to the toughest opposition. GUARD-ANTHONY FALASCA '39 Weight: 145 lbs. Height: 5' 7 Tony was the smallest man on the team. Nevertheless, what he lacked in size he had in fighting spirit, for Tony fought hard, charged harder, and never gave up. Running interference, he could be seen ahead of the ball carrier effectively clearing the way. GUARD-GEORGE ZUBEY '38 Weight: 195 lbs. Height: 5' 10 The team's most versatile player, George knew almost every position on the eleven. Fullback, guard, tackle, and center were his prominent positions. As roving center or tackle, he was a demon on defense and tackled with the entire power of his two-hundred pound frame. His act in giving up a position of glory in the backfield to a guard in the line for the good of the team shows he possesses the real team spirit. CENTER-MICHAEL BURCIN '38 Weight: 180 lbs. Height: 5' 9 Mike is the ideal center welcomed by every backfield man. Knowing how to pass to each ball carrier individually, his great work at center resulted in very few fumbles by the backs. Typifying real sportsmanship, Mike put everything into his playing but never took an unfair advantage of his opponent.

Though having a lower percentage than the Varsity, they experienced more wins than defeats, thus classifying them in the successful season column. Notable in their exhibition game record, were the eight victories to the one lone defeat. In league clashes the competition was harder, the results being three wins and nine losses. In numerous games they displayed real power and ability, and this, supplemented with more experience, will make them strong competition for any team in the scholastic basketball world. Since they are the Varsity of a future season, we sincerely hope that, when they fill the posts on the Varsity squad, Tamaqua High School will have a basket- ball team to be proud of.

The juniors and Seniors, who were expected to be fighting for the championship, finished with an even percentage of two wins and two defeatsg while a fighting junior High quintet came through with one win and three defeats. The individual scoring honors of the Interclass league went to Fritz Dibui and Joe Lotwick, who were tied for lirst place. The former netted 15 goals and 6 fouls for a total of 36 points, the latter scored 16 field goals and 4 fouls for a total also of 36.

This season the cheerleaders used equipment: flags to perform a scout cheer and letters spelling Tamaqua for novelty and color. This added to the appear- ance of the cheerleading squad. The purpose of this club is to stimulate a greater interest in athletic activities and it has succeeded very well. The pep meetings which were held every Friday afternoon during football season greatly improved the cheering. All the credit for this goes to Valeria Rasimas who worked very hard and set a high standard for the club next year.

Do you see the blank look on Lloyd's face? That was probably snapped in History class or in some room with a man in front of the class, judging by the soulful stare on Mack's face. Then we have Bogash at home in a barn and Sarah at home in Geometry class, or is she? Blubber was surprised and pleased. It is very hard to register both of those emotions at the same time, he'd like you to know. Here we have Zubey and joe wondering whether this football stuff is all everybody says it is. Benson slays them, whether it is the Sphinx, a target, or a brunette, he gets his man. Could this be a result of the famous hike on which the football men were going to show Mr. jewells? Anyway, he came up smiling. And which one of the Murphys is this? It doesn't matter. Alone they hold up bridgesg together they lick the world. Valeria, will you tear yourself away from Gone With the Wind long enough to let us make sure whether that is Evalyn behind you? How can Shire sleep in all that sun? He doesn't look particularly comfortable to me, but then he learned in school to sleep in any position. Next we have Mr. Weigle in a characteristic pose in gym class and below, Eberts, looking for something to happen. Are you in Tamaqua, Wellace? You might as well stop looking because nothing ever does. Tune In on Lutz and Kistler in the corner of a study hall doing what everyone does--anything except study. This is Barwick in an 0E moment in English class. He isn't moving little squares of paper around on his desk, or laughing, or arguing, he is merely resting. It is too bad that this last picture is not in color because we cah't be sure whether or not those pajamas appeared at the Faculty game. This bores me, says Barwick, the one in white.

Therefore, we are issuing this series of pictures so that you may endeavor to identify our faculty. In the upper left hand corner we have a man who is known by the car which he drives. Willie take you for a ride? Certainly. Next to him, we have a rather mannish miss whose chief fault seems to be her con- geniality. The gent in the upper right hand corner takes a wide spread because he needs it to keep his rather corpulent body vertical. The stately miss in the lower left is known well to everyone but especially to those who attempt to cut the last period in the afternoon. The Beau Brummel next teaches a rather dead subject. And last, but not least, in the lower right we have a lady whose popularity is ex- celled only by her graciousness.

I was graduated from Tamaqua High School at that time, and covering the Banquet would give me a chance to see the parents I had left twenty-five years before. I arrived at the high school early so that I could look around the premises before the rest of the guests arrived. As you know, Tamaqua is now the capital of Pennsylvania and, since the quartz rush of 1950, it has been a city of 156,000,000 souls. I had a hard time finding the high school I had attended, in this city of walled canyons, but the hill was still there, and soon I was trudging up the incline that had made me feel so bad toward the school directors in my early days of learning. Finally, as I topped the rise on High Street, I saw it. Was this the high school I had attended? This marvel of Roman architecture. this gem in the glittering setting of a town I once had been so anxious to leave? Was this what I had left for a 340,000 a year position? ' My first concern was the gym. Was that old barn shaped hat box still there? It was. Cobwebs covered the door and I needed a crowbar to get in, but it was still there. All the equipment had been moved to the new gym off the west corridor, and why they had left this old sore to hurt the eyes of the home-coming class was beyond me. The windows were cracked and dirty and the floor was scarred from the battles that had been fought within its confining walls. ' Well, I was not alone. There was some one standing at the door watching me. Hello, Stranger. Badly in need of repair, isn't it? 'Why, Cliff, you old son-of-a-gun, don't you remember me? Can't say that I do. l He was a man of my age about five feet ten inches tall, with rather large waist-line, and as bald as an egg. I'm Frank Loew. Remember? Hi-Y President, class of '38 ? Of course I remember you. Frank Loew, the boy who had been judged the most handsome boy in the class because of his pretty wavy hair, as bald as a tropical island after a hurricane. Oh, where are the snows of yesteryear? What are you doing now, Frank? I asked. I'm in the restaurant business. Achieved my life long desire. I make the best Hamburgers in the city. Well, I suppose we had better get up to the Banquet. It is about time to begin. Yes, they are having it in the new home economics department. I must run across the street to 'attend to some business. See you upstairs. So long. After leaving Frank, I took the automatic elevator up to the fifth floor and the home-economics department, in charge of Miriam Lutz. This was something to be proud of. One whole floor for the sole purpose of teaching girls, all prospective brides, how to wrestle with pots and pans and prepare something edible. The banquet hall was crowded with a jabbering throng of middle aged, paunched slightly-greyed men, and pretty, young-looking women. I took my place at the head of the table and adjusted the camera and sound equipment that were to show to the United States a group of the most successful men and women who had graduated from high school in the last twenty-five years. if I Z -SPH I l1041 The speakers were to come to the head of the table and say what they had to say in an allotted time of three minutes-not very long for a story covering a quarter of a cen- tury, but sufiicient to give to the country some of the secrets of success. The toastmaster came to the head of the table to introduce the speakers. It was Jack Wehry. He explained that he is a commercial artist now drawing for the El Ropo Cigar Company. jack painted those pretty purple and green welcome signs you saw as you entered the city. Fine bit of work, too. The first speaker was John Kellner, owner of a chain of the most modern, up-to-the- minute, scientific butcher shops in Pennsylvania. His secrets of success are that he always has been a hog for work, and also that he has the ability to put the sheep which he counted to go to sleep at night into the slaughter house before he woke up and scared them away. A The next speaker was really a personality. The President of the Reading Railroad, William Barwick. Philanthropist, man-about-town, playboy Barwick is now really work- ing for a living-it is unbelievable. The owner of the Morning Call Newspaper Syndicate was the next man to come before the camera. He was Harry Wall, who was there for business as well as for other reasons. Harry says the only way to succeed is tostart at the bottom and let the other men stay there. About this time a red-haired man of about forty-three years asked me to pose for a shot for the Eureka News Reel Agency. To say I was surprised to see Walter Benson is putting it mildly. Well, it was predicted that once a candid fan, always a camera fanatic. Douglas jones, the man who supplies Tamaqua, as well as the larger part of Penn- sylvania and New jersey with food, was the next speaker. He took this opportunity to remind everyone that the price of Hunt-Club Dog Food had been reduced three cents on the pound. Always a business man, that's the secret of success for Jones. Ah, here comes the Mademoiselle Fifi Demanche, the famous Parisienne designer from whom all America gets its fashion tips. Oh, yes, she graduated in 38, but her name then was Carolyn Kistler. The French moniker came with success. Here come two women who are really angels of mercy. Their work during the floods in 1945 and the War of Nations in 1950 will long be remembered by the American people: Dr. Jeanne Houtz, head surgeon and president of the Pennsylvania State Hos- pital, located in the Coaldale district, and Leah Lloyd, head nurse at the Washington Me- morial Hospital in Reading. Have a good time, girls. Well, this certainly is no place to wear a panama hat, open shirt, riding breeches, and boots, but then Trapper Herman never cared much about fashion. He has just returned from an expedition to South Africa, bringing back specimens for the new city zoo. Perhaps he'll say a few words. Jim, will you tell the radio audience about your encounter with that lion? The time you fought him bare handed. Here he is, ladies and gentlemen, Trapper jim Herman. Hello, Mom. Hello, Pop. Tell junior I have a baby gorilla for him to play with. Oh, the light? Well, it wasn't much of a battle, practically one-sided from the very beginning. It wasn't nearly so exciting as the time I fought an army of head hunters, armed only with a razor blade and a broken bottle. Why, I remember when- Sorry, ladies and gentlemen, but Mr. Herman's time is up. Modest chap, isn't he? Ah, here comes the owner of that massive airplane factory which you passed as you came through the suburb of Pottsville. It is situated at the former location of Newkirk. He is Donald Shire, who started on his successful career working in a butcher shop and building model planes in his spare time to sell at 25 cents a piece. And to l-1 W 5 PH IX think, now he gets 825,000 for each plane he sells to the government, which is buying all he can manufacture. And who is this? Not THE Connie Brode who is thrilling the Metropolitan with her silvery voice, whose name is in Hollywood, who makes thousands of men her slaves by simply raising her voice in question? Ah, but it is, and she is going to sing the love song from Samson and Delilah. Very pretty number-I'm so sorry that song was cut out of the broadcast, but the wires on the transmitter were crossed. Now, we must be getting along here. Time is getting short. Well, well, Madame Fifi is passing out of the door with a very beautiful companion. It is rumored that the girl is Madame Fifi's chief model, Henritte Latouche, the one who models all of Madam Fifi's expensive gowns and whose picture you see in the latest fashion notes. Ah, I just had a close look at Mademoiselle Henritte, and she is none other than Evelyn Mack, who also graduated with me in the class of 38. Here is William Kistler, president of the Twistem-Turnem Pretzel Factory located on South Center Street. How is business, Will? The more crooked it is, the better I like it. Say, isn't that boy the card? He should be on the radio. Now, ladies and gentlemen, we have two gents here who have reached the top in their professions, a chemist and a dairy farmer. Edward Kasales and William Gangloff are going to do a specialty number entitled Dairy goes again Ma, right Pasteur door. Hurrying down the list we find Sarah Marchetti, Ph.D., B.A., D.D.D., P.D.Q,, professor at the Transilvania University for the instruction of one armed sailors, and Leon Sembach, Mayor of Tamaqua, and former Governor of Penna. He resigned from the govemorship to seek election at the polls as mayor last March. And, ladies and gentlemen, we can't go away without hearing something from the governor's wife. Her Excellency, first lady of the state, Mrs. Herman Graukaso- veritch, nee Kathryn Kuhn, sponsor of the Graukasoveritch fund for the relief of the oppressed cannibals in the Cocoanut Isles. How are the returns of your fund coming in, Your Excellency? Well, we are three dollars short of having twenty-five dollars, but then our campaign has only been running for eight months. We expect to do better next year. Ladies and gentlemen, this winds up our television broadcast of the twenty-five year Banquet of the class of 1938 from Tamaqua High School. See you in 1938. Till then, Au Revoir. Well, that's how it was folks, and I'm glad it's all over. I'd rather cover a horse race at Santa Anita than go to another banquet with that mob. Of course, there were some of the members who couldn't be located. Reese is still trying to pass Latin and Klotz hasn't done any work since he was supposed to graduate. With the law of 1950, compelling all citizens of the U. S. to graduate from high school, came Klotz's finish. I hear that he is really coming out next year. I suppose I shall go home and get a good night's sleep after that. Mr. Callaway promised to drive me to New York so I mustn't keep him waiting. Oh, yes, he still has the Willys. He says it reminds him of a toy and he can't bear to part with it. He intends to trade it in next year and get a 1964 model but I think he's foolish, it still runs like a clock.
