Due to the hearty cooperation among its increasing members, the Alumni Associa- tion has proved to be a very worthy and outstanding organization. The olhcers for '40 and '41 are Alvin Campbell, Jr., president; Robert Steinert, vice-president; Howard Reiman, treasurer; Roden Welker, assistant treasurer; Earl Kimmel, secretary; Ruth Kershner, assistant secretary; Mrs. Mary Guy, sergeant-at-arms; and Louis Meredith, publicity agent. The college scholarship this year was given to Lewis Pumell. Among the many social activities of the Association were a Christmas dance at the Masonic Hall, a graduation dance at Lakeside, a meeting at the Par Outing Club, a hay ride, a masquerade party, a roller-skating party, and a bowling party. The other social activities which the group planned are a banquet and an outing. Meetings of the club are held on the first Monday of each month. There are both social and educational meetings. At the social meetings, there were entertainments such as movies, magicians and quiz games; also refreshments; at the educational meetings, prominent speakers were heard. The Senior Class benefited from the use of the cloak room at the Masonic Hall when the Christmas dance was held. At one meeting the Club voted in favor of having the Sphinx book placed in the Public Library and are in favor of meetings to acquaint Seniors with the organization. An invitation is extended to all Seniors to enroll with the Alumni Association. CLASS OF 1940 OFFICERS Pretridelzl ....................................................

This year the song was written by Warren Stewart to the tune of Song of the Islands. WITH PARTING STEPS For countless happy hours, We've stayed here learning day by day. Tamaqua High we now must leave you; The time has come when we must go away. May friendships formed within your walls Be kept throughout the coming years. Tamaqua High we say good-by now; With parting steps we leaVe your doors behind. The 1941 Sphinx One H 102de AIN'T IT THE TRUTH A college professor, when asked, What is marriage ? by the local college pastor, said, Its the throwing away of your bachelors degree, just to receive your master's. I'WHEN YOU'RE ABOUT TO GET MARRIED, DONiT. live seen most all there is to see, In every phase of life; I've fought in many a bloody war, Ilve even got a wife. But therels one thing more I'd like to do, Before my life doth endest; The one thing left I have to wish, Is to Visit a woman dentist. N0, there's nothing wrong with my molars, They have the best of care; I only have a couple left, And they dont need repair. Then why would I go to this female doc, When I've got my teeth to sup? Just to have a woman say, Open your mouth, Instead of saying, Shut-up! CHICAGO The lady is loquacious, And of a gabby stock; Endless and never tiring, Like the giant, London clock. She gabbed till I was henpecked, l She made her word the law. The constitution of this hen, Was the longest I ever saw. tOr should I say heardl Her line is fast and furious As regular as the sun; Never stopping for some air, Until her point is won. She once lived many miles from here, And in a rowdy section; Then, alas, she had to move from there, But in the wrong direction. She might have gone some other way, Or barged into your life; But of all the countless other chicks, This gal had to be my wife.

BOB RIEICHIELDIERFER DECEPTION What is this thing before your eyes, That makes you shudder with fear; That makes you want to run and hide, What is this thing so queer? i But maybe you're having a nightmare, And hope you are for your sake; And you puncture yourself with a safety pin, Yell ouch! and find you're awake. It's lying on the window sill, And right in your newly built house; Waiting to pounce on some sort of prey, Like a cat that waits for a mouse. Then the light from a car shines on it, And you put down your heavy bat; Then you laugh till your eyes are hlled with tears, i For its only your wife's new hat. CONSCRIPTION Conscription is an element Which aids in our defense; But some will start an argument And say it's just expense. Some say it's just a hindrance, And against our constitution; But for the present crisis, I'd say its the solution. But there are, oh, so many men, Who refuse this registration; And will not stop at anything, To prevent defending the nation. There are some who stooped to marriage, Which makes me want to laugh. For, if I would have to stoop lbix low, Brother, then I'd take the draft. T66 1941 Sphinx Nirzety-Jix The1mmalimzlxrlmoi. Home Defem'e Proglmn.

Many of those losses were close games, lost in the last few minutes of play. Furthecrnore. the J. st were always handicapped by the fact that several of their members hall t; be saved for use as varsity substitutes. The promotion of Earl Steigerwalt to the varsity squad and the loss of Jimmy DeWire through injury also hindered their prospects. But even with all these facts against them, they proved to be tough foes for the opposing teams and will no doubt give a good account of themselves in future Tamaqua teams.

The Can- aries simply outplayed Tamaqua all around. Apanavage with 12 points and Jones with 10 points were the only play- ers able to score consistently. At Easton two field goals in the last minute of play by Earl Steigerwalt gave the High School quintet their first league victory, 36-35. It was anybody's game until the final whistle. Morfy had 11, Jonese9, Steigerwalte-S, Apanavage-7, to lead the scoring. In a rough l'basketball game the Tams managed to win their second straight vic- tory. Lansford was the victim, 24-19. The game at times threatened to turn into a riot. Every member of the locals scored from the field at least once. The Blue Raiders kept their Victory string intact as they defeated Pottsville, Captain Tony Art, Earl, playr r111 poxiliam 1zzngy pivotmzm 30-21. The Victory gained revenge for the defeat suffered earlier in the season at Pottsville. Tamaquals shifting zone de- fense kept the visitors from doing too much scoring. Jones and Steigerwdlt were high with 8 and 7 points respectively. Bethlehem broke the Blue and Whites three-game winning streak with a 30-26 victory. The defeat knocked the locals out of second place in the league. Lack of height proved a hindrance to Tamaqua. Steigerwalt starred with 9 points. Mahanoy City gained revenge for their only defeat of the season by running over the High School five, 50-14. The game was played before 1800 people on the new Mahanoy Township floor. Tamaqua played their worst game of the season and at no time did they show any offense. A defeat at the hands of Hazelton, 36- 23, brought the season to a close. The Mountaineers were on the rebound after Eiglity-Jix Tlae Blue and White on the Hardwood The Blue and White Varsity enjoyed a fairly successful season, winning seven and losing ten. It was more successful when you realize that four of the losses were by four points or less. Coach Pur- nell started the season with only two lettermen left over from last year, Cap- tain Tony Morfy, and Lloyd Jones. These two along with Eddie Apanavage, Art Revak, Junior Young, and Earl Steiger- walt bore the brunt of battle for the Tams. The opening game of the season found the Tams on the long end of the score against Frackville, champs of the North Schuylkill League. The score was 36-28 and the game was featured by the smooth passing and all around play of the Tams. Jones was high with 9 points. Tamaqua lost their second game, a heart-breaker, to Freeland, winners of the Anthracite League, to the tune of 33-30. Failure to score in the hrst period proved costly. Lloyd Jones led the locals with 10 points. The Blue Raiders got back in the win- ning warp against a weak Lansford team 28-14. Mr. Purnell used his regulars only slightly. Morfy was top man with 9 points. The Alumni was the next victim in a thrilling 31-30 game. Captain Morfy,s foul goal as the game ended was the winning point. He also gathered 13 other points to take scoring honors. Tamaqua lost their opening league game at Allentown, 47-23. The Tams were decidedly off on their court game. Morfy was the only Raider able to pene- trate their defense, gathering 6 field goals. The proteges of Coach Purnell lost a thriller to Eastons Red Rovers, 33-32. An enemy goal with less than a minute to play clinched the game. Jones was high man for the Tams with 12 points. The Tams lost their next game to a goal-crazy Pottsville five, 47-23. The COuntyseaters just couldnt miss and with- out a doubt played their best game of the season. Jones again was the leading scorer with 9 points. Bethlehem took the measure of the high school quintet, 36-33. A second half rally carried the Steelmen to victory. Jones was a thorn in Bethlehemls side all night, as he dropped 18 points through the hoops. The Tams lost their last game of the first half to first place Hazelton, 38-29. The Mountaineers long shots won the game for them as they were not able to work the ball in. The locals were led by Steigerwalt with 9 points followed by Apanavage and Young, both with 7 points. Finally hitting their winning stride, the Blue and White gave the Mahanoy Black Diamond League Champs, their only de- feat during the regular season, 44-42. Five field goals in the last two minutes, the last by Junior Young with five seconds left, won the game. Every member of the locals line-up had four field goals. It was by far the best game of the season for the High School live. Eigblyfz'e Reading From Left to Rigbthrom Row: J. Young. E, Apanavage, L. Jones, A. Morfy, E. Steiger- Walt, A. Revak, R. Filer.

This added experience and training pays dividends when the players are qualified to become varsity members. In the past season, under the tutelage of Coach Schaeffer, they finished with a record of no wins, four losses, and one tie. The tie was registered against Ashland, and the losses were to Coal- dale, Hazle Township, Lansford, and Shenandoah. A number of games were called off because of bad weather and unfavorable playing conditions. Although this yc. is teane was very green and lacked weight and experience, they showed the true Fighting spirit that is typical of Tamaqua High teams. In a few years, with added experience and poise, they should become first-class varsity players.

The Shenandoah game was the last Blue and White Varsity tilt for Morfy, Bell, Patrick, Mateyak, McMichael, Mock, Moyer, and Krepak. However, sev- eral of these players participated in post- season beneflt games.

On Saturday, December 15, the Coal Bowl Game was played on the Lansford High School field for the benefit of the Coaldale State Hospital. Seniors from Coaldale, Tamaqua, and Blythe Town- ship formed the EasEs team.

The locals came back to score but the lead was too much to overcome. McMichael scored for the Tams, while Berrang and O'Neil scored for Blythe. Tamaqua was hindered by the loss of Tony Morfy, who was used only sparingly because of injury. Undefeated Lansford beat the Blue Raiders after a hard tussle. Led by Joe Kennedy, who ran the ends at will, the Valley team scored twice in the hrst period, Kennedy and Pavlick scoring- and added another one in the fourth quar- ter-Feretti scoring.

In the second quarter Ventresca tossed a long pass to Mahley for a touchdown. Mahley and Ventresca both scored again in the last period on long runs. Morfy and Mc- Michael bore the brunt of attack for the locals. An undefeated Shenandoah team scored a 20-6 victory over the Tams.

Isabelle Meredith Senior Play The annual Senior Class Play was presented in the Majestic Theatre on February 18, 1941, under the direction of Miss Brewer. The cast, larger than that of any other senior dramatic presentation, not only allowed a greater class representation but added greatly to the production with a greater variety of characters. The play, entitled ViWhat a Life, dealt with the school life of that lovable radio character, Henry Aldrich. a Henry, a personification of bewildered adolescence, constantly found himself in- l volved in situations which he knew nothing about. The scenes of the play all took place in the principalls office, which seemed to be Henryis second home. It was there that he met Barbara Pearson, who because of his l infatuation for the girl, was indirectly Henry's greatest trouble. Also because of Henry's t amorous feelings towards Barbara, he got into trouble with George Bigelow, who liked Barbara. Henryls problems, which were being caught cheating in a history exam, and l being unjustly blamed for stealing the band instruments, were solved by Mr. Nelson, the assistant principal of Central High. It later developed that George Bigelow was the one who stole the instruments and then framed Henry. Nelson and Miss Shea furnished the romantic interest and gave one swell perform- ance. Bill and Vecchitto took the supporting comedy parts in a really hilarious fashion. Mr. Bradley, Mr. Patterson, Miss Pike, Miss johnson, Miss Wheeler, and Mr. Ferguson gave the play all that was necessary to make it a success. The cast, in its entirety, was perfectly suited to the parts and made this production one of the best, if not the best, in Tamaqua Highls history. ; The 1941 Sphinx Seziemy-one Reading From Left to 1Yigbt-:Fr0nt Row: D.

This year, as last, the entire cast was costumed by a Philadelphia company and made an excellent showing. The story was a gypsy love story, showing the fascinating gypsy life. The honesty of several of the gypsies was questioned, but through a series of events, everything turned out for the best.

Boysl Band The Boys, Band completed another successful year both musically and financially. In order to make money for expenses, Which they must do because the band supports itself, they sold pencils with the football and the basketball schedules on them. They also maintained a refreshment stand at the basketball games. They conducted a movie in the Majestic Theatre and held a bake sale. The band participated in the Armistice Day celebration at Lansford, in the Regis- tration Day parade, and in the Memorial Day celebration. They appeared at all the football games. As a result of the training of Mr. Folk, the band had a different drill for each game. The band received many comments about its fine appearance. George A. Griffiths was chosen as Drum Major to fill the position left by George Christ who graduated last year. He filled his position very well and was a credit to the band. The members of the band council were LIOyd Jones, Robert Evans, Byron Wood- bridge, George A. Griffiths, and Russel Edmonds. The purpose of the band council is to assist Mr. Kemmerer in band work.

Cheerleaders Association The purpose of the Cheerleaders Association is to strengthen the school spirit of the student body. This year the club had eighty members. A committee consisting of Veronica Milius, Helene Scheid, and Erma Lenker drew up a constitution upon which the Clust standards were founded. During the year there were two dances in the gymnasium to the music of the nickelodeon. The girls also held 21 doggie roast at the New England Reservoir. All that attended had a very interesting time. The cheerleaders were truly leaders at both the football and basketball games. The girls received more cooperation this year than in previous years. At the Shenandoah game the girls organized the student body to form a court of honor for the football players. It was indeed a very impressive sight.

There were several sports nights held. The HisY team defeated the Pinegrove j HLY team. The speakers of the year were Dr. Thomas Malishaucki, Dr. Hyde 0f Lansford, i and the Reverend Mr. Kerr. A detail of the Pennsylvania State Police gave a demon- stration of criminal detection. Members of the National Guard and all high school boys i were guests. Eighteen boys attended the annual Older Boys' Conference at Germantown. A Christmas party and banquet were held for the former members of the Hi-Y. A spelling bee and quiz contest were held with the Tri-Hi-Y. The quiz contest was won by Curtis Kehl. The Quiz Kids, dressed as infants, added a great deal to the amusement. An open forum was another joint meeting with the Tri-Hi-Y. The Spring Dance was held in May. It was a very colorful and successful affair. Os Werley and his orchestra furnished the music.

They were: nursing by Mrs. Alvin Campbelle, JL; interior decoration by Mr. Crocken; laboratory technology by Miss Betty Weaver; and business by Mr. Robert Lewis. Dr. Follweiler showed the girls moving pictures of Ecuador and Dr. Ruth Ditchey spoke later in the term. The first big social event was the Barn Party at which games, contests, and box luncheons were part of the fun. 05 Werley's full orchestra plus decorations and refresh- ments made the joint meeting with the Hi-Y a great success. The Christmas Program, the Kiddies Party entertaining the Jr. Tri-Hi-Y, and the Open Forum with the Hi-Y were other high spots. The Spelling Bee and Quiz Program was fun and the arriving of the iiQuiz Kids in a wagon, dressed as infants, added to the merriment. The mothers were entertained by a fashion show of summer clothes at the annual Mother and Daugh- ter Tea. The girls closed their round of activities with a Farewell Banquet at the Grange in honor of the thirty-four out-going seniors.

News Staff This year marked the first time that the Tamaqua Senior High School had a school paper of its own since the opening of the new building on High Street. The paper was titled iiThe Blue and White. It was published six times annually and was supported by student and alumni subscriptions. The paper was printed by the Evening Courier and was white with blue ink to carry out the color scheme of the title. The stafiC was very much interested in the paper and took advantage of every op- portunity to learn more about a paper and to solve its problems. June Klein, Anna 1 Sotak, and Grace Guensch attended a press conference at Schuylkill Haven in Novem- ber. Editors and their assistants from the eastern part of Pennsylvania attended the conference and discussed ways to improve school papers. The paper carried r10 advertisements, being devoted entirely to student activities. It met with a most generous response in its initial year, and the earnest desire of this and subsequent staHs is that it will continue with the ensuing years in membership, and ever faithfully attempt to portray the life and spirit of our school.

Bank Cashiers Club The club was organized in September by Miss Fey. It consists of two Cashiers from each room. The purpose of the club is to impress upon the students the importance of saving. An early American has said that those who save a part of their earnings save a part of themselves. A person who saves develops character. He feels independent, secure, and has a new outlook on life. One who saves refrains from spending money for useless, harmful pleasures. Therefore, he improves his physical condition. He has self-respect i i l and develops initiative. i t The highest percentage of the year was 91.6. This record was obtained by Mr. Welkeris room. The average school percentage was twenty. During the first semester, Mr. Welker had the banking banner for fourteen consecutive weeks. Reporler VERONICA MILIUS AdUITEI' MISS FEY FifIJi-iezmz Reading From Left 10 Rigbt-JWMZZ Row: H.

Debating Team This year four juniors 0n the varsity and four sophomore Jay-Vees argued the query tion, Resolved: that the powers of the federal government should be increased. As all varsity members had some experience it was not surprising that the team proved itself a worthy successor to the one which placed second in the state finals at Harrisburg. An inter-squad exhibition debate before the W0merfs Club opened the season in February. Later the teams travelled to Lock Haven for a tournament. There the varsity won five and lost three while the jay-vees were splitting four and four. At a tournament at South Whitehall the varsity won ten of twelve to place second and the jay-vee took nine of twelve to win a similar position. Dual debates were held with Kingston and Weatherly and on April 5 the team went to Northampton for the District Elimination. With all members returning next year, Miss Steigerwalt once more points toward a wmmng season.

It was organized so that the educational meetings would widen the student's knowledge of the business world and give him some ideas as to how he can become a successful businessman. The meetings were planned by the othcers. In November Mr. Michael Casino spoke to the club on newspaper work. He gave the details about collecting news and the re- quirements for a position as a reporter. Mr. Franklin Grifiiths and a representative of McCann's Business School were other speakers. The social meetings were fun for all-wa doggie roast, the Christmas Party, and the dances. Dues were collected at each meeting and were spent for a banquet which ended the club's activities.

The meetings, which were conducted entirely in French, were held once each month. The president chose a committee to conduct a program for each meeting. The programs were very entertaining and helpful. During the year we sang Alouette, iiThe Alphabet Songf iiBelle Nuit, Toreador, iiLe Marseillaise, Frere Jacquesj' and Cantique pOur Noel. We played quiz games, Buzzf Bingo, and worked crossword puzzles. The club sang at the an- nual Christmas program. Our music chairman arranged a chorus for this event.

T126 1941 Sphinx Fortyzbree SENIORS OF At long last the day for our entrance into high school as freshmen came. We were all excited and a little bewildered, not knowing what to expect. We were to have our first experience with Latin and alge- bra, or typing and business training. Little did we know what mysteries lay ahead for us as we progressed. Our girls, while in eighth grade, had an active part in the organization of the Junior Tri-Hi-Y, and as freshmen watched it grow to a membership of over a hundred girls and move smoothly and effli'fently to- ward its goal. The boys and Mr. Schaefter reorganized the Hi-Y. Others played football and basketball, thereby gaining experience for varsity play. Our basketball team did better than other years and fmished tied for second place in the interclass league. Others Of us were Chosen for such things as Girls, or Boyst Glee Clubs, or cheerlead- ing, organized as preparatory steps to those clubs in Senior T '11. As the year passed we looked forward to graduatien and entrance to the school on the hill. The gossip of the last few months conrerved Operetta, what to wear, and the prom. Then came the day long;r awaited! As we were dismissed from Junior High for the last time, we felt a pang of sorrow, but the theta'g't of nicer days ahead soon re- moved the sadness from our minds About 2:00 p. m., Friday, June 14, 1940, the Class of '43, feeling more than a little 1945 important, marched from Junior High to the theatre. An Operetta, W'The Outlaw Kingft was presented. Walter Campbell played the part of Robin Hood, and Lois Neifert that of his sweetheart, Lady Marian. Louise Roppel and Kenneth Hartwig had the second leads. After the Operetta the more solemn part of the Program arrived. How wonderful it was to hear ones name calted as Mr. Homer gave out the diplomas! Our class numbered 276 at this time. One week 12.1 tr we attended the gradua- tion dance. This was a very successful climax to a grand freshman year. Summer passed quickly and as it drew to a close we began to think of school again, feeling important in the thought of being sophomores. The great day came! By this time we no longer felt important but very insignificant, being the lowest instead of the highest class. Wondering what was in store for us, we trudged bravely up the hill. We soon were made to feel at home by the upperclassmen, and our forebodings passed away. We found our studies interesting and extra- curricular activities numerous. Only a few longed for Junior High. We are ably represented in TrieHi-Y, Hi- Y, Boys' and Girls' Glee Clubs, C. L. A., News Staff, Sphinx, Bugle Corps, Debating, slnrts, cheerleading, and the newly organ- ized Sophomore History Club. Our sophomore year almost over, we are now looking hopefully forward to our jun- ior and senior years. Forly-two jUNIORS JUNIOR GROUP III Reading From Left 10 RigblaFrmzz Rou'; E. Geissinger, A.

Along with this came new duties and experiences for us. As last year, we entered the Hi-Y, Tri-HieY, Bugle Corps, Band, News Staff, Sphinx Staff, Operetta, Glee Clubs, Athletics, and Debating Club. One of our new duties was to adjust ourselves to diHerent subjects, another was to become vauainted with different teachers. Both proved interesting. Of our many new experiences the first was our class meetings. At these we elected our officers, selected Our rings, hats and class colors, which are red, white and blue. The next was being admitted into language dubs. Through this another new experience revealed itself to us. This was to participate in the Annual Christ- mas Program. In the field of entertainment, we witnessed thrilling basketball and football games. Also, we must not forget the dances when we found we knew a little more about dancing than in previous years. At the pep meetings more cooperation was given for we knew most of our cheers by this time and our school spirit had in- creased. Taking pictures for the Sphinx was still as exciting as last year. Thus we found our Junior year both profitable and amusing, and look forward to a greater Senior year in this wonderful institution, Tamaqua Senior High School.

In June, 1941, we seniors meet for the last time as students of Tamaqua High. In the three year interim, our Alma Mater has molded us into The Class of 1'141 and has fin- ished dusting out our niche. If we turn back the pages, we can see the many records and achievements of our class. The part that we have played in the school since we entered has been a large one. No different from those before us, we forty-oners first adapted ourselves to high school life, then joined clubs which we afterwards headed, elected class ol'hcers, fought for positions on the basketball and football teams, and sang and acted in Operettas and in our class play. All these things stand out as vivid pictures in our minds, with everything climaxing in graduation. Our claim for distinction is in us. No doubt our teachers will not remember us as anything exceptional, for the simple reason that we aren't. We like to see ourselves, as our class history ends, as part of the ordinary, happy-hearted, ambitious youth in America today, ready to make our place in the history of our generation.
