A class of two hundred seventy-six, the largest ever to enter Tamaqua Senior High School, we came to a new building, a new system. eager to see what high school would be like. Soon we entered into the whirl of activities, making an excellent record. Whole-hearted participation in debating, athletics, and the various clubs showed that we were an up-and-coming class. Juniors . . . The first class meeting was finally held, breaking the suspense. We were the first class to select three class colors. As we took increasingly ac- tive part in the activities, we became more important in the life of Senior High. Five out of six speakers on the de- bating team were Juniors, as were more than half the participants in the operetta. Seniors . . . During the year, our last, we were the kingpins of the school. Social activities occupied much Robert Brandt George Tepo Heber Newton Marguerite Feathers l-listory attention. We held many novel dances -masquerade, bow, sweater, memory, and up-side-down. Adding to our list of firsts, our class was the first to have three-way invitation folders, and the largest tone hundred ninety-sevenl ever to graduate. The first Tri-Hi-Y Confer- ence ever to be held in Tamaqua occurred during this year. Our football team had a successful year, and our class play was one of the best. But what have we gained? Our years of high school have been a proving ground where we tested our capabilities and molded our personalities. Through our courses of study and our extra-curricular activities, we have formed habits of get- ting along with other people, and we have gained ideals which will serve us well when we take our places in the world, attempting to leave our marks there, as we have left them in Tamaqua Senior High.

Three smart boys, The Junior Class Qfficers OFFICERS President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Lewis Purnell Harold Frey Eleanor Sloatman Harry Powell Junior Class l-listory AT LAST WE ARE UPPERCLASS- MEN! No longer are we heckled by pre- sumptious Juniors and Seniors, but we have come into our own. This we have proved in all our activities, in the class- room and in extra-curricular work. The widest field for discussion is, of course, that of extra-curricular. First in interests were sports this year. On both the varsity teams of basketball and football, were several Juniors proving their mettle. Then, in both the l-li-Y and Tri-Hi-Y, our class exhibited qualities of leadership as a large part of the cab- inets. There was unusual interest in things musical, and there was a very large representation for a Junior Class in the Operetta, in the Clee Clubs lboth Boys' and Girls'l, and in the Boys' Band and the Bugle Corps, Journalists had a chance to show their work with the News Staff and the Sphinx. Entering a fresh field of conquest, there was a Junior on the debating team this year. Also, we remember with pleasure the enjoyable evenings spent at Senior dances and, coupled with this, the dancing les- sons Miss Tennant gave us. Very import- ant were our first class meetings where we selected our class rings, officers, and colors. And so we close with a short, hope- ful, and encouraging glimpse into the future, where we see the Class of l94O making history, so to speak.

Tri-l'li-Y OFFICERS President Vice-President Recording Secretary Corresponding Secretary Treasurer This year the Cirl Reserves Club be- came affiliated with the Y. M. C. A. and is now called a Tri-Hi-Y Club. The cabinet reduced the member- ship of the club from 225 to l5O by plac- ing certain restrictions on those who planned to join. Having a smaller num- ber of girls made it possible to hold many more social events during the year. The meetings were both educational and social. The club enjoyed many par- ties, programs, and some very interest- ing talks given by prominent speakers. The outstanding event of the year was the Tri-Hi-Y Conference on April l at which the Tamaqua club entertained about three hundred girls from the Bethlehem dis- trict. The meetings were held in Zion's Marian Horner Jean Reichelderfer Reba Steigerwalt Dorothy Filer Frances Reeder Lutheran Church with Miss Chapin as the principal speaker. The joint-meeting for the Hi-Y was a Christmas dance with Frank Shaw's orchestra playing. For eight weeks the Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y held Joint Maturity Conferences with Mr. Frederick Meredith for a leader. ln March the girls entertained their mothers and the Cradale Sorority at a fashion show in which six Senior girls modeled spring clothes, Other events during the year included' the Barn Party, 'talks by Dr. Mary Cryn- kewich, Mr. Purnell, Mr. James Lawler. and Mr. Win Scott, discussion night, Sophomore night, and the Christmas pro- gram. Activities were brought to a close with the farewell banquet given by the Juniors for the Seniors. Reading from left to right, first row: F. Reeder, M Horner. J. Reichelderfer.

Senior l-li-Y Club OFFICERS President Vice-President Treasurer Secretary Adviser Associate Adviser The purpose of the Hi-Y is to cre- ate, maintain, and extend throughout the school and the community, high standards of Christian character. The platform is Clean Speech, Clean Sports, Clean Scholarship, and Clean Living. This club is one of the oldest clubs in High School. It was organized in i925 by J. H. Dalrymple of the State Y. M. C. A. with which it is affiliated. Since its organization it has had the following advisers: F. C. Horner, R. B. Stapleton, B. B. Baer, and E. A. Callaway. Mr. Cal- Calvin Loew Leonard Miller Robert Seiwell Russell Moser E. A. Callaway H. Roden Welker laway has been adviser since I936. Since this is a history ot the club since its beginning, it is important to include the names of the persons who have presided over it. The presidents with the year of their graduation are as follows: i925 Theodore Ciltner i926 Ernest Wiesner l927 Earl Fleming 1928 C-ordon Weaver i929 Kenneth Swoyer 1930 William Tiley 1931 Thomas Daubert 1932 Joseph Yermal 1933 Kenneth Nattress 1934 Jack Boyer 1935 Theodore Fenstermacher 1936 Marlin Schaeffer 1937 William Schilbe 1938 Franklin Loew 1939 Calvin Loew Besides being one of the oldest clubs it is also one of the most popular. So many boys want to join the Hi-Y that it has been necessary to set up certain standards for admission and for retaina ing membership, At present the mem- bership is limited to one hundred. The reason for the enthusiastic interest in the club may be seen by examining the calendar of events which appears in the next column. Several new activities were begun this year and they proved quite success- ful. The first Sunday night in church was held in the Bethany Churchg a pin- ochle tournament was conducted during the winterg a Joint Maturity Conference. under the leadership of Fred Meredith. was sponsored for eight weeks. The club also made an addition to its advisory de- partment by electing H, Roden Welker associate adviser. Sept. Off N, Dec. Jan. Feb, Mar, Apr. May The officers. The advisers.

Debating Team Facing by far the most extensive and difficult schedule ever undertaken by a high school debate squad, the de- bating team experienced a successful season. The only decided reverse was at the hands of Nesquehoning in the Dis- trict Contest, while Tamaqua placed first in one tournament, second in an- other, and won many dual engagements for a season's record of thirty-five vic- tories in forty-two debates. Of the seven defeats, five were suffered by the affirmative, and two by the negative. The affirmative was van- quished by Palmerton, Lock Haven, Lewistown, Kingston, and Nesquehon- ing, while Lehighton and State College were victories over the negative. ln a tournament at Palmerton in early March the varsity composed of Griffiths, Swank, Loew, and Brandt took first place, winning twelve out of four- teen debates and defeating a strong Slat- ington squad in the finals. At a similar tournament held at Lock Haven the next week with Petcav- age substituting for Loew on the nega- tive, Tamaqua with eleven victories in fourteen debates placed second behind Lock Haven, Lock Haven won on points, because out of four debates in which the two schools met, Tamaqua won three. In dual decision contests, the local team won both debates with Lansford, Freeland, Hazleton, Allentown Prep, and Muhlenberg Freshmen, and split with Kingston-each negative winning. The Kingston, Lansford, and Hazleton con- tests, were three-speaker attractions, but all other debates used the regular two- speaker system, The season was concluded by put- ting on a debate on April 20 as guests of Rotary. The squad loses by graduation Swank and Brandt, three-year veterans, and Griffiths and Loew, who have de- bated the past two years. Horner and Sterner, the only girls on the team, also graduate. This leaves four Jay Vees as a nucleus for next year's team, Jay Vee The idea of a Junior Varsity debat- ing team is a new one in Tamaqua High School, but we believe that it has come to stay. The Jay Vees had no debates outside of tournaments, but in both the Palmerton and Lock Haven tournaments they placed second. At Palmerton Wolfe, Sterner, Pet- cavage, and Horner were eliminated by Hellertown in the finals, having won nine of their fourteen debates. At Lock Haven, with Ugiss substituting for Pet- cavage, the .lay Vees won nine out of twelve, losing to Lewistown in the finals. This gives the Jay Vees a record of eigh- teen victories in twenty-six debates. Outstanding Jay Vees who will re- turn next year are Petcavage, a junior, and Wolfe, a sophomore. Ugiss and Evans have two more years to debate and with their Jay Vee experience should be fine debaters. Add to these four some likely prospects from Junior High and you have next year's squad which should carry on the tradition of outstanding de- bate in Tamaqua High School. After thoughts: Best affirmative team we met-Lock Haven. Best negative team we met-Lock Haven Best varsity teams were at their peak against Muhlenberg. Best Jay Vee affirmative we met- Lock Haven. Best Jay Vee negative team we met- Hellertown. Extempore Speaking Robert Brandt under the sponsor- ship of lvlr. Stine entered the field of extempore speaking this year. He won the county title on March 3l at Miners- ville. He then competed at Northamp- ton in the contest for the title of the Eastern region. This he won and later went to Norristown for the state finals. At Norristown, by winning the state ex- tempore title, he was qualified to com- pete in the national contest held in Cali- fornia at the end of June. Bank Cashiers Adviser: Miss Fey. This club, the purpose of which is to stimulate interest in saving as well as to record the actual deposits, consists ot two bank cashiers from each home room. Organized in September by Miss Fey, the members weekly placed signs on the boards and did everything in their power to encourage banking. That this work was successful can easily be seen by comparing the grand average of approxi- mately twenty-five per cent for the year with the twenty-one per cent of last year. Worthy of note is the struggle which Miss Swank's room, 202, and Mr. Sherrick's, 206, weekly waged for the banner. Two hundred six had the banner fourteen weeks and was second for nine- teen weeksg ZO2 had the banner twenty- three weeks and was second twelve bank days. News of these events was placed in each issue of the school paper by the banking reporter. NONQE 'fl Fi is X l l Reading from left to right, front row: E. Moerder, L. Loew, L. Spofts, E. Southam, A.

The Senior play The annual Senior Class Play, this year Broken Dishes, was presented in the Majestic Theatre on February 23, The plot was woven around poor little hen-pecked Cyrus who, encouraged by a sip of hard cider, attempted to re- establish himself as head of the family.

Kemmerer Drill-Master Sergeant Charles Folk Drum Major George Christ The band had a very successful year. lt paraded at all football games, it par- ticipated in Bright's Department Store Hallowe'en Parade at Lansford, in the Armistice Day celebration in town, in various political parades, and in the inau- guration parade at Harrisburg. lt also paraded for the Elks Country Fair, and at a St. Jerome's football game. The band worked very hard this year to buy new uniforms. lt sold blue and white pencils with schedules for football and basketball games, and sold refresh- ments at basketball games. An outside group came to its aid last Spring in the form of The Band Boosters' Associa- tion. This organization is composed of parents and friends of the boys. It held bake sales and canvassed for money to buy uniforms. The work was successful and the boys received snappy blue and white uniforms. The band's appearance has been improved not only by uniforms, but also by other gifts. It received an American flag and two white guns from the Rotary and the Lions Clubs. It also received a school flag from the Elks Lodge. The drilling was very good this year because of the great work being done by Sergeant Charles Folk. The band was ready with a new drill for every football game. The last activity in which the band participated was a concert held in May with the C-irls' Bugle Corps. The Bugle, Fife and Drum Corps OFFICERS Faculty Adviser and Manager Miss Steigerwalt Drill Master Assistant Drill Master Bugle and Fife Instructor Harry J, Knorr Helen Kistler Harry J. Lauer Assistant Bugle Instructor Norwood Graff Drum Instructor John C. Brooks Drum Majors Ann Downs, Reba Steigerwalt The Corps under Miss Steigerwalt's able direction has become very well known both in Pennsylvania and in neigh- boring states. lt is in great demand everywhere. The Corps has participated in many great parades and there are plans for many more. Last season this organization ap- peared at most of the football games. It won first prize in the parade at the Elks' Convention in Atlantic City, It was also outstanding in the Fireman's Convention Parade at Kingstong it received a special prize. The town parades in which the Corps participated were the parades on Columbus Day, Flag Day, Memorial Day, Armistice Day and in the Republican Victory Parade. Mr. Lauer organized a bugle quartet to play taps at military funerals and other special occasions. During the winter each section was given individual instruction both in mu- sic and marching. In the spring Mr, Knorr taught new drills to the entire Corps, All the preparation was for a concert given in the football stadium in May in con- junction with the Boys' Band to help de- fray the expense of sending both organ- izations to the World's Fair in New York. .- V lgyir' I AE 'fefl Qperetta Crocodile Island, a musical comedy, was presented at the Majestic Theatre on May 2. The operetta was directed by Martin T. Kemmerer who added another successful production to his credit. Mr, Kemmerer was assisted this year by Miss Pfeil who supervised the choruses. The operetta was the story of a duel between the villain, Coco Orinoco, who wanted to rule Crocodile Island, and the rest of the characters, who wanted to defeat his wily scheming. The villain was finally thrown to the crocodiles and King Bongazoola was allowed to continue his rule. Several new voices were heard in the leading parts and, since they belonged to Juniors and Sophomores, it looks as though there is good material for future productions.

I2 Shenandoah 6 Total ...lO3 The Tamaqua Blue Raiders got off to a flying start in their l'-938 campaign under the tutelage of Ding Schaeffer and Art Daub with victories over Freeland and Summit Hill. They lost the next two games to a strong Mount Car- mel team and a tricky Allentown outfit. The fifth game was the best game they played all season and they took Coal- dale I8 to 6. They lost in a very rough game to Mahanoy City but came back to defeat Nesquehoning the following week. This was their last win. They lost to Pottsville, tied Lansford, and handed Blythe Township and Shenandoah their games. The Raiders won four games, tied two, and lost five. TAMAQUA 26-FREELAND 6 Scoring in every period, the Tams opened their season with a win over Freeland. The first score came on a blocked punt recovered by lvlock over the goal. ln the second quarter Heisler and Falasca blocked another punt, and Tepo recovered it for a touchdown. In the be- ginning of the third Quarter Andrukitis passed to Tepo for a score. The final score was made on a pass from Duncav- age to Andrukitis. TAMAQUA 24-SUMMIT HILL 7 Summit Hill, taking the kickoff, marched 65 yards down field before Heisler stopped the advance by inter- cepting a pass on our ll-yard line. The Tams then marched 89 yards, with Heis- ler going through tackle for the score. After another 7l yard march Heisler passed to Tepo into the end zone for a score. ln the early minutes of the third quarter Tepo scored on a lateral from Andrukitis. The Tams were not able to complete any of their tries from place- ment. The last score resulted from a Summit Hill fumble recovered by Fritz Frey. On the next play Hartwig hit the line for a six pointer. TAMAQUA O-MOUNT CARMEL I4 A Red Tornado blew out of the sky and shattered Tamaqua's two-game win- ning streak. Ososki and Duncavage did everything that was possible for Mt. Carmel. The Red Tornado struck early, hard, and fast and then waited for the final whistle. Our tackling was off and that accounts for the score, When the Tornado died down the score stood l4-O with Tamaqua at the short end. TAMAQUA 7-ALLENTOWN l2 Two breaks in Allentown's favor decided the game, The Canaries first scored after a blocked kick on our 30- yard line. ln the third quarter Allentown punted. Tamaqua fumbled, and Allen- town recovered on the l8-yard line. This was the turning point of the game. Our lone touchdown was scored by Tepo, who did most of the ball carrying during the second half, and kicked the point after touchdown. TAMAQUA l8-COALDALE 6 The Tam defense held Coaldale to a gain of I8 yards the first half of the game. Tepo took the ball over from the one foot line for the initial score. ln the second period Heisler intercepted a pass and dashed 45 yards for a score. Coaldale then marched 67 yards for their lone score, In the last period Bob Hartwig pounded and crashed his way across the goal for the last score. This was the first time Tamaqua teams whipped the Tig- ers twice in a row since the series started. 11' TAMAQUA 6-MAHANOY CITY ZO The Tams held a 6-O advantage at half-time. lt was the result of a pass, Hartwig to Tepo, who ran the ball 55 yards for the touchdown and scored standing up. Tepo, Andrukitis, and Heis- ler were injured in the first half. After their leaving the game, the Maroons were not able to be denied the game, for they crossed the goal three times.

Morfy did the punting in the second half and continued doing the kicking the rest of the year. TAMAQUA 20-NESQUEHONINC 7 Even though they got off to a poor start with Nesquehoning scoring the sec- ond time they had possession of the ball, the Tams made a great comeback march- ing to the l l-yard line before they were stopped. On the exchange of punts Hart- wig passed to Heisler for our first score. ln the second half Zubey recovered a fumble on the visitors' l4-yard line. From there l-lartwig hit the right side of the line for the second touchdown. Heisler made both points after touchdowns by end runs. Early in the fourth period Morfy took a pass from Hartwig in the end zone for the final score. TAMAQUA O-POTTSVILLE l3 Pottsville, showing very good ball handling, pushed over two touchdowns in the second quarter. The first came at the end of a 58-yard advance down the field. The second was on a pass from the 42-yard line to the 39. From here Grif- 't3,E, :Sf T3 'gifs 'T . is . fiths ran the rest of the way for the touchdown. The entire fourth period was played in Tamaquas territory. TAIVIAQUA O-LANSFORD O Played in ankle deep mud. with a driving rain falling in the second half, the game ended in a scoreless tie. But this does not tell the story, Twice Lans- ford was within the Tams' 4-yard line. Otherwise it was just a game between 22 men all dressed the same-in mud. The game ended with Lansford on our 3-yard line and third down coming up. EE' fl T EEE. Q Pat at his favorite position , . . Buck showing how it's done . . .

TAMAQUA O-BLYTHE TOWNSHIP l2 Displaying their poorest form of the season, the Tams were outplayed and scored upon by Blythe the first time they had possession of the ball. In the fourth quarter, Shields made a 53-yard run which put the game in the bag for Blythe. Five or six Blue and White players laid a hand on him but couldn't hold him. The Tams have beaten Blythe only once during the last five years. TAMAQUA O-SHENANDOAH 6 X The season closed in a snow storm, The kickoff was made with about four inches of snow on the field and more snow coming down every minute. There were many fumbles because of the wet, slippery ball. Tamaqua's only scoring chance came when Shenandoah fumbled on their own one-yard line. The ball was recovered by three or four Blue and White lads. But after four plays the ball was back on the 9-yard stripe, first and ten for Shenandoah. Morfy punted to Kull on his own lOg he picked up the ball and dashed 90 yards along the side lines to win the game with only three minutes of playing time left. SWEATER MEN On April ll a banquet was given by the Tamaqua Athletic Club to the basketball and football teams. E. Frank- lin Griffiths was toastmaster. The prin- cipal speaker was John Lawther, basket- ball coach at Penn State, who spoke about incidents that arose during his coaching career and stories of his favorite sport. The awards were presented by coaches Eli Purnell and Charles Schaef- fer.

The first half was nip and tuck. In the third quarter the boys ran up a l3 point lead which was too much to be overcome. Andrukitis took indi- vidual scoring honors for the night with l2 points. The Raiders downed Lansford in the second game 43 to 37. The Tams were forced to come from behind to score the victory over their valley rival. Lansford started off with a 9-O lead. At the half it was l7-l5 in favor of Tamaqua. In the last quarter every Ta- maqua player had three personals. Mahanoy City finally did it. They outshot the local team 40-16. The Raid- ers were held to 7 field goals while the Maroons gathered l7. The winners took the lead early in the game and the lead was never threatened. Mahanoy City had its strongest team in years and finally took the Black Diamond League title. The boys came back into the win- ning streak by defeating the Old Grads. The first half was close, but in the final quarter the Varsity 27-l6 lead was too much to be overcome. The game finished Tams 3l and Alumni 22. ln one of the prettiest games of the year McAdoo fell 33-l8. The Raiders took the lead at the start and never re- linquished it. lvlcAdoo presented a good passing team, but the Raiders threw up a brilliant defense that could not be penetrated. Tepo tapped a shot in from the foul line. Thirteen players were used. The Tams lost to Allentown 47 to 30. Allentown opened with a I3-l lead, and every shot was made inside the foul line. Boandl, Rahn, and Friedman were too much for the Raiders, scoring 4l points between them. The Raiders have not had a victory over Allentown since they joined the Eastern League. The Raiders lost the next one to Easton 25-l5. Easton started fast and held a I3-2 lead in the first quarter. At the half the score stood l5-4, and in the third quarter Z3-7. The boys could not seem to get their offensive moving. The Tams dropped their third straight ,league game to Bethlehem 38-32. They had hard luck in their shoot- ing in the first three quarters. The ball would roll around the rim and then fall out. They played their best but time would not wait and the game ended be- fore they could overcome Bethlehem's early lead. The usual starting line-up The Seniors The material for next season Liberty Hall was packed for the game with Hazleton, Hazleton won 38- 32, but the game was not counted in the league because one of the officials failed to arrive. Tepo and Andrukitis played their best game of the season- each rolling up IO points. The team as a whole looked very good against the Mountaineers. Their passing was good and their plays clicked for points. Trailing Summit Hill by a score of I6 to 2 in the second period and led by Miller, the Tams staged a great come- back to win 32-30. ln the third quarter they tied the score, and 5 points in suc- cession by lvliller put them in the lead for the first time. The score was tied at 30 up with l5 seconds to play when Mock shot from the middle of the floor to make the deciding points. The boys won their first Eastern League game from Pottsville 46-29. The first quarter ended in an 8-8 tie but from then on they scored almost at will. Andrukitis and Christ led the offense. The team again played heads-up basket- ball all the way-the kind which makes a winning team. The Lions weren't tamed this timeg Saint Jerome's downed Tamaqua 22-l3. The first half was slow-neither team doing much scoring. At the half it stood 8 to 4. ln the third quarter the Raiders overtook the Jerries but it was only for a few seconds. Ruggeri then started dropping them in from all over to lead his team with l2 points-eight of which were made in the last quarter. The next game started well for the Tams but Allentown was out in front at the final whistle 38-Zl. After the first four minutes of play the Raiders were ahead 4-O, but at the quarter it was tied at 4. At the half the Canaries were ahead l2-ll. In the second half Allentown stepped out in front and stayed there the rest of the game, Tepo, Miller, and Mock were lost on personal fouls in the second half. The Blue Raiders brought home another league win when they defeated Easton 34-31. Falling behind l9-l3 at the half, the Raiders rallied to defeat the Red Rovers. Andrukitis, who did not play until the start of the second half, paced the team to victory by gathering I4 points, lt was the second league win of the season for the boys. After Bethlehem held a l4-l l count at the quarter and 23-2l at the half, the Raiders came back 29-28 in the third quarter. But here the Liberty boys spurt- ed again and ran the score to 40-32. The Raiders made it 40-36 with two minutes to play but Bethlehem tightened their defense and won the game 42-36. Hazleton started fast and held the lead all through the game to win 45-32. The score stood I6-IO at half-time. Tepo was lost in the third period on fouls. Christ was high scorer with I6 points. Mock was lost in the closing min- utes on fouls after playing a great game. A great factor of the game was the foul- ing of the locals giving Hazleton 26 free throws out of which they made I9. The Tams won another 2 point victory over Summit Hill. The final score was 33-31. Playing their first extra- period game of the season, the Raiders came out victors on a field goal by Miller. Summit Hill jumped into the lead, but at the half it stood 2O-l4 in favor of the Tams. Summit Hill came back to tie it in the closing minutes causing the extra period. Andrukitis paced the attack with IO points. ln another league win Tamaqua downed Pottsville 25-23. The game started slowly. At the quarter it was 5-4 for Tamaqua, at the half l2-9 for Potts- Whitey is set to make one . . . XNally will probably be one of the forwards next year . . .

Tepo had three personals in the first quarter but played the remainder of the game. The Raiders were off on their baskets-missing shot after shot, Andrukitis was high scorer of the game with l'5 points. No doubt worried by the close score of the exhibition game, Hazleton came to town to defeat the Tams 51-I5--the highest score against the Tams all sea- son. Andrukitis shot the first field goal to give the Raiders their only lead of the game 2-l. After two minutes with no scoring, Hazleton started to work the ball up the floor and shot passes to play- ers cutting for the basket. From then on they could not be stopped. Cheverko was high scorer for the victors with l7 points. The Raiders' next and last victim was lvlahanoy City 4l-28. The junior varsities started the game for both teams. With 7 minutes gone Purnell sent in the first five. Mahanoy City still kept their J. V. team in and they held an 8-6 lead at the quarter. From then on the Raid- ers had the lead. About the middle of the third quarter the first regular came in for Mahanoy City. Three regulars were used all nightg each one played about two minutes.

Tama- qua is proud to be a member of' this league not only for its state standing, but for the better basketball it shows, the better officiating and its high brand of sportsmanship. The league this year was chiefly a race between Hazleton and Allentown, with Hazleton proving the victor, The league stand- ing is as follows: W. L. PCT.

The Jayvees won twelve out of nineteen games for a percentage of .632. They made 188 field goals and 91 foul goals for a total of 467 points. Their op- ponents made 157 two pointers and 88 charity tosses tcr a total of 402 points. The Jayvees presented a splendid pass- Varsity ing team this year, and as for shooting they tied the Varsity with a percentage of .212 for field goals and outdid the Varsity in foul shooting. Considering everything, the prospects for next year look good and as though Tamaqua will continue to have a well-respected name in the basketball world.

The score of the playoff game was Seniors 4O- Juniors 29. The champions won all their games but one. The Juniors won five and lost two to the Seniorsg while the Sophomores could not seem to get started with the result that they won only two games. A promising Junior High team was at the bottom. They were handicapped by their lack of experience and their size, The high scorer of the league was Whitey Woodring of the Juniors with 55 points. Ernest Keich was top scorer for the Seniors with 43 points. Edgar Apanavage with 36 points carried off the scoring honors for the Sophomores. James Young led the Junior High quin- tet with Zl points.

COMMENTS Well, here we have a Tamaqua High School Rogue's Gallery, and what rogues! First we see Mary Hanlon liter- ally trying to pick things out of mid- air. We tried that in a history test, but it didn't work ..,. It's too bad Nelda's dead. We wonder if they'll say anything good about her now .... This is a new wrinkle on what the well-coiffured girl is wearing ...A Here we have five boys and one dog, lsn't he cute? . . . Frances is a girl who mixes well anywhere .... Miss Tennant was preparing a test on figures of speech for the unsuspecting Sophomores. Speaking about figures, don't you like the book ends? . . . William Koch is wistfully watching for the bus. After all, it was a hard grind .... That bunch of ruffians ganged up on poor Rodney, but everyone seems to be en- joying it, including the victim .... This is how we stand around during fire drills. Remember how we were kept in straight lines in Junior High School? . . . Nor- man and lzzy have weathered many storms in their romance . . . Do you see how dejected Peck looks? We aren't sure, but we heard rumors that he was a bad boy in French class that day ..,. lt was pure coincidence that we put Elaine beside Peck, but after some considera- tion, we think it is a good idea .... There are many things the sophomore class has, and one of them is boys. This trio is only a sample, The Senior gals know it, too ..., We aren't sure of the motive that prompted Kaplan to pose be- hind the girls. Your guess is as good as ours .... Now we're really seeing some- thing worth-while. After all, we are deeply indebted to Mr. Bailey for num- erous periods off .... We persuaded Keilman to abandon his movie quiz and radio questionnaire for a moment to take this picture. No wonder he won the mu- sical contest at the Hi-Y meeting .... John was sojourning in lO9 when this was snapped. He doesn't seem to mind it .... These senior girls are-well, just girls. Pat looks like a picture of a sweet girl graduate with that book tucked un- der her arm .... Did we miss someone? Oh yes, we daren't omit Jack Mader. He's one boy who always obeys orders. Perhaps you remember his delivering ice cream to one of our faculty members at a Baccalaureate Sermon. Enough saidl -11, W A Q , 81 1 gf? ' fr af, Q -I . I K! 7 H 'E 3 7. Q.

H. S. alumni could become more useful to the school and the community if they were organized into an association. He formed a committee of alumni which, under his direction, canvassed the town for the names and addresses of all graduates of Tamaqua High School. About 1800 persons were registered in this canvass and to each of these graduates the committee sent a letter explaining the plans for organizing the association. One hundred persons responded to the letters and held a meeting at which they elected officers and determined the activities of the organization. The officers for 1938 and 1939 were: Franklin Loew, president: Louis Meredith, vice-president: Leota Steinert, secretary, Harold Reiman, treasurer. The activities of the group are varied, they include civic improvement, help for college students. and social activities. One of the first things the association decided was to give a college scholarship of one hundred dollars to a deserving member of each future graduating class. Another activity which was planned was to establish a recreational center of a community nature,for the members of the association. The social activities which the group planned were an annual Christmas dance, a graduation dance, an an- nual banquet and an outing. When the officers were elected, a guardian board was also chosen. lt includes E. Franklin C-riffiths, chairman. Roden Welker. Harold Reiman, Mrs. James Moyer, Mrs. Paul Stapleton, Karl Wetterau, Clarence Walters, Clarence Koch, and Charles Cebert. Under the direction of President Loew and this board the association has grown during the year to three hundred. Monthly meetings were held with entertainment and refreshments as part of the program. Prominent speakers were heard and local talent cooperated to furnish entertainment. A Christmas dance was held in the Masonic Hall. Arrangements were made to grant the proposed scholarship. The association is growing rapidly and is sponsoring some worthwhile activities. lt cordially invites all members of the Class of 1939 and all graduates to join in furthering these activities.

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 have already reached the goal And those in the years to come, Will strive for honors to bring to you, Success will mean work well done.
