These years have been filled with hopes and disappointments, successes, and failures. We entered high school with the desire to learn new things and to make new friends. While we were here, we realized 1 some of our ambitions and were disappointed in others. All these hap- peningselearning, serving, playing, living-are in some measure recorded in this volume so that in future years we may read and live again our memorable experience before we left che school on the hill. 20 l. 'i x .5 Kb Lt i'- a r- b BOOK ONE - LEARNING . BOOK TWO - SERVING BOOK THREE - PLAYING BOOK FOUR - LIVING LEARNING IN the classroom the faculty and the stu- dents worked together to develop not only minds but also personalities. Some stu- dents prepared for college and others for business, but all worked to learn how to get along congenially with their neighbors. THE1942i ADMINISTRATIO F. C. HORNER Superintendent of Tamaqua Schools Juniata Preparatory School A.B. Juniata College M.A. Columbia University Active in all phases of school life-eadministrative, social; and athleticeMr. Homer is a figure well known to Senior High School students. The department of which he is the head is becoming a leader in progressive trends in education. As a member of the administration, he has been especially helpful in giving the viewpoint of that body on student problems and plans. In spite of all his activities, his host of friends, both students and faculty, know him as always possessing the same friendly, helpful, and cheerful disposition. To Mr. Homer, who has worked unceasingly in behalf of the faculty, the students, and the school, we express our appreciation. Page Eight SPHINX PAVES WAY FOR A BETTER EDUCATION i BOARD OF EDUCATION The seven persons comprising the Board of Education have the enormous responsibility of the administration of our school and the appropriation of public funds for the school's maintenance. Despite cutting criticism, trying financial conditions. and other adversities, they have persevered day after day to sustain an effective educational system. Appreciation not forthcoming, often labor is its own reward. i This year two members were added to the Tamaqua School Board. The seats of Mr. Howells, who had served for forty years and Mrs. Jones, a member for twelve years, were filled by Mr. Bobst and Mr. Burke, who we are sure will endeavor to render valuable J services as did their predecessors. There is, within each of us, warm esteem for every member of the Board of Education. We, the Seniors, take this opportunity to express our appreciation for their untiring efforts. Reading from Left to Right: Mr. Burke, Mr. Hess, Mr. Carter, Mr. Bobst, viCe-president, Mr. Steigerwalt, treasurer, Mr. Edwards, secretary, Mr. Hartwig, president. Page Nine i THE1942: R. B. STAPLETON Principal of Senior High School Mifflinburg High School A.B. Bucknell University M.A. Columbia University PRESIDENT OF THE PENNSYLVANIA INTERSCHOLASTIC ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION FACULTY MANAGER OF BASKETBALL Perhaps the most familiar figure in the halls is that of Mr. Stapleton. The entire student body knows him by sight, and a great many of the students know him personally as a friend. Mr. Stapleton is always willing to help with a difficult situation, to cooperate with the student leaders in promoting new plans, and to give helpful advice from his vast store of experience. In his dual role as principal of Senior High School and president of the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association he has won the admiration and respect of all of his students and all athletic authori- ties throughout Pennsylvania. It is, indeed, a remarkable achievement to be principal of Senior High School and twice-elected president of the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association. To Mr. Stapleton, then, we say, iiCongratulations. Page Ten gSPHINX H. W. SLANKER Principal of Junior High School Gettysburg Academy A.B. Gettysburg College M.A. Columbia University We haven't very much to remind us of Junior High School and yet it was an integral part of our education. Mr, Sianker, Junior High's principal, seems to be our reminder of those days. Mr. Slanker is a man whom pupils and teachers admire for his tactfulness. He is a mild-mannered, pleasant fellow with lots of friends. His quiet, reserved nature seemed at times to be out of place in the raucous Study Hall, but the contrast served only to emphasize his words when he entered a discussion. Through the teachings of Mr. Slanker, our guidance teacher, we set up study habits which have carried us through Junior and Senior High School. For this reason we are happy to see Mr, Slanker's picture in the Sphinx. Page Eleven THE1942 SENIORS RECEIVED COUNSEL MR. BAER, faculty manager of football, teaches Junior and Senior history.

ZIMMERMAN ZUBEY Page Thirty-eight grub! Sofifogug Today as we look into the vague distant lull of twilight, We realize that our first phase of life is done; Now we go bounding into a more adventurous flight. As tomorrWrth a new, more glorious sun, Innocently west 'ntoere gaiety of life Q Not knowing whiaxftan Jangers may ensue These trials and tribulations, this distressing strife Form and-fmud, hiding the beautiful hue. We awake, on y t ' d ourselves on the endless plain Of life, offering to us i . mbvarious fields. The gay frivolities of life seem o mane, So strange after the obscure peace szh$bl did yield. And so, with head high and shoulders nigh to the plank, At that moment when life seems most futile, weill attack; Then we'll give not ground on either flank Though we and the wall are back to back. And with the dawning of that day when we have passed The boundaries of youth and achieved mature responsibility, Thenewhen we have assumed adulthoodis attendant burdens at last, We, to our dubious elders, may have proved our fidelity.

At its monthly meetings this club provides an opportunity for the interested students to promote a general interest in the language, music, and customs of the French speaking countries. Members of the club annually take part in the Christmas pro- gram. This year their contributions were HBelle Nuit'i from the i'TaIes of Hoffman and HJ'ai Perdu Ie Do, a very amusing French folk song. The monthly meetings of the club were conducted entirely in French and were planned by a committee selected by the president. The programs, which were always opened by singing HLe Marseillaisef, were varied and instructive from the standpoint that everyone in the group took part in playing the games and in the singing. Buzz, Bingo, and quizzes proved most popular, probably because prizes were al- ways awarded to the lucky winners The music chairmen, Mary Forrest and Robert Filer, led the club in singing translations of popuiar songs as well as the old favor- ites of all French classes-iiAlouettef HBelle Nuitf' HFrere Jacques, 'iValentine, HBelle Rosinef HAu Clair de M Lunef' and the song of the French Boy Scouts, HLe Coucoufi Reading from Left to RighteFlRST ROW: A.

Each month, the president appointed a program chairman to conduct the meeting, The club was organized for the purpose of aiding its members to a clearer understanding of the German language. The various meet- ings, that were held throughout the year, gave the club a great amount of teaching which proved to be vital knowledge in the classroom. The club also fulfilled its purpose by teaching the fundamentals of German music and famous German poems. The club conducted some very interesting and amusing programs. The relating of the biography of a renowned German musical com- poser at each meeting, together with plays, skits, and songs furnished the entertainment for the different meeting. The club also learned and memorized many German songs and poems. A few poems learned during the year were: HDie Lorelei? HErlkonig, HDu Bist Wie eine Blume, and TiMailied. Two of the songs were HStiIle Nachth and , T'Chonny Schmockerf' The club sang the latter songs at the annual Christmas party in the high school gym.

The club had an enrollment of seventy-three members, seven officers, and one adviser. The pur- OFFICERS poses of the club are: to promote interest in the business world and in the study of commercial subjects, to encourage a social spirit by President offering opportunities for wholesome social contact, to have members DONALD HOUSER 'Vice- President RUSSELL EDMONDS Secretary DANIEL JONES Treasurer WILLIAM SWIDER Sergeants-at-Arms DANIEL SPROUL ROBERT HENNE Reporter RUTH SCHLOSSER Faculty Adviser MISS BAHRT become familiar with modern progressive business methods and sys- tems, endeavoring by such means to raise and maintain a higher standard of training for business. The meetings were held on the third Monday of every month. After each meeting a social hour was presented by a committee named for the meeting. Dues were collected at the close of the business meeting. A musical program was presented at the November meeting. Group singing and solos were part of the program. The December meeting was a Christmas party. Every person attending the meeting received a gift from the club. The January meeting featured a quiz program.

It is sponsored by the Tamaqua Rotary CIub and is under the supervision of E. Franklin Griffiths. It was originaIIy organized for the purpose of teaching the boys to be heIptuI to the community in which they live and of acquainting the boys with the service organ- izations of the community. This year, because the Hi-Y, the boys own service organization, took an active part in the civic responsih biIities, the Junior Service Club was not organized until the end of the term. Because of this, the boys missed attending the weekly Rotary Adviser PottsviIIe and see the Court in session. The Junior Service Club is an organization which is very interesting and profitable for boys who are going to take their places in community life after graduation be- cause it gives them an opportunity to watch community activities such as Town Council, the Rotary Club, and the Court in operation. Be- cause the present Seniors looked forward to a service organization which would include all members of the Senior cIass, and because Seniors of former years enjoyed the activities, it is hoped that next year this club will be formed earlier in the year so that it can have meetings but they did have an opportunity to visit the Courthouse in E, FRANKLIN GRIFFITHS I a more active part in community affairs.

SECOND THRIFT ESSENTIAL TO WELL-ORGANIZED LIFE of Miss Fey. Two cashiers were chosen from each room. The purpose of this club is to make the students realize the value of thrift while in high school. While in high school one will find numerous expenses which he could easily meet provided he has a School Savings Account. There are such expenditures as class rings, hats, pennants, dues for various clubs, football and basketball games, and of course graduation. i T The Thrift Council was organized in October under the direction i i i i The meetings of the council were held on the last Thursday of each month. at which time results of each bank-day were discussed. Because of the different enrollments in various rooms a new T system was organized. Under this system, the room with the most bankers gets the banner instead of the room with the highest percen- tage as was the previous plan. The plan worked out very well. T i With the splendid support of the teachers and cashiers, our i number of depositors has increased to two hundred with an average of one hundred dollars being banked each Bank Day. Benjamin Franklin once said that a person who saves some of his earnings is saving a part of himself. By saving, one develops a character which makes him feel secure and independent.

C. STINE Again, as last year, Tamaqua High School had its own paper. It was printed six times during the scholastic year by the Evening Courier. To follow the suggestion of the name, i'The Blue and White, the paper was printed on white paper with blue ink. It contained reports of various school clubs, themes, poems, editorials, vocabulary tests, and other features. There were also some special columns such as the Class Brevities, the Sports Arena, and the Grads Corner. The journal was supported by annual and student subscriptions. The annual subscriptions were sold at the beginning of the term at fifty-tive cents each, and the student copies were sold each time the issue came out at ten cents a copy. The sales were not confined to our high school alone, but we sold many copies to the Alumni and students of surrounding schools Some students even introduced our paper into other countries by sending it to their pen pals. The staff, this year, was larger i'wan any other stiff in the history of our school paper. It had a memoership of thirty- Wee. The Sophomore reporters were: Jo Ann Reeder, Frances Edelstine, Matilda Shatusky, Jack Southam, George Teel, Lois Stewart, Dorothy Sembach, Jane Kemner, Catharine Henry, and Anna Mae Elvin. The Junior members were: Betty Walker, Jane Zeplin, Eleanor Yemm, Florence Walters, Helen Enterline, Joan Davies, Catherine Donahue.

FIRST CAMERA CLUB ORGANIZED For some time Tamaqua High School has felt the need of a camera club because there are many students who have photography for their hobby, but do not have any place to develop and print pic- tures, get expert advice, or discuss their work with interested pere sons. For these reasons there was much interest shown when Miss Tennant organized thirty students into the school's first Camera Club. This club proved to be one of the most interesting of the extra-curricu- Iar organizations. With the dues paid by the members, a dark room was equipped in the basement and the club members were given a chance to show their talent in all phases of photography. At the meetings, whi h were held on Tuesdays at 3 :30, various types of Cameras, lenses, filters, lighting, and the make-up of pictures were discussed. The club contributed many of its better pictures to the snapshot editors of the Sphinx. It is hoped that eventually, when the equipment is more complete, the club will be able to handle all the yea rbook photography.

Looking back over our year, we begin to realize just what this word stands forelm-improvement, Fe-tellow- ship, Se-service. Improvement of Spirit, Mind, and Body is the keystone in the foundation of our organization. In order to guide the girls along these lines our program was divided into four parts-hobbies, travel, careers, and character. The first of this series was given by Mr. Thomas Reichelderfer who spoke on photography as a hobby. In November a new type program called a Travel Symposium was conducted by ten members of our club; while later in the year Dr. Follweiler continued the subject of travel by showing motion pictures of Hawaii. Under the heading of careers, Dr. Mary Crynkewich told of the advantages and disadvantages in the medical profession. The conclusion of this program was reached when Dr. Ruth Ditchey stressed the impor tance of character building. On February 26, our organization sponsored the Family Get- together dinner which was held in Zion's Lutheran Church. Dr. Cor- don Poteat was the speaker of the evening. As an outstanding feature of the program the Tri-Hi-Y Choir sang several selections. Fellowship is the second principle of our name. It is because of the fellowship of our girls that we have had so many outstanding social events. Service the last but by no means the least principle of our name. During the year our service department took charge of Tag Day, and various community projects and also supervised many activities within our high school.

The theme for the year was HCooperation and Friendship. A pre-schedule meeting was called to order for the purpose of selecting a new adviser. Mr. Caiioway, the former adviser, resigned when he changed his residence during the summer. The year was then officially opened with a club reunion and the election of cabinet OFFICERS members. The cabinet members chosen were Robert Filer, Earl Steiger- i wait, Daniel Jones, Harry Fetterman, Thomas Rowlands, Raymond P'ESidem 1 Davis, Glenn Dowd, Donald Hartwig, and George Teel.

The club was represented at the annual Older Boys Conference at Easton this year by a delegation of sixteen boys. The Joint Hi-Y MR- JEWELLS and Tri-Hi-Y Dance was a very successfui and colorful affair, The Hi-Y members were the hosts. Several other joint meetings with the Tri-HieY were held. A few of them were the Spelling Bee, the Surprise Affair, and the Joint Maturity Conference. The annual Doggie Roast was held in May. The club honored its Senior members in the customary manner by holding the annual Hi-Y Banquet at the Lewistown Grange. Faculty Adviser Reading from Left to Right-FIRST ROW: G. Teel, Gt Dowd, K.

THIRD ROW: N. STRENGTHENS SCHOOL SPIRIT This year the size of the club was 230 members in all. It was the largest club in the history of Tamaqua Senior High School. The club was organized for the purpose of cheering the team on to victory, as well as giving them a reason to fight. The first meeting was held on October 17 for the purpose of electing officers. During the football season, Hpep meetings, which proved to be of great help, were held in the gym. In this way everyone became familiar with the cheers. The cheerleaders, in particular, want to thank the boys because of the marvelous way in which they responded. The club enabled the cheerleaders to purchase new white jackets for the football games. The cheerleaders accompanied the Boys Band to every football game. During the year many novelty meetings were held. A tun-night was held at which the faculty members, football players, and basket- ball players were our guests. Occasionally dances were held iri the gym to the music of the nickelodeon. It was made clear to the club at the first meeting that the club was not merely a Senior Club, but a club for Juniors and Sophomores as well. Everyone was free to voice his opinion. The president, Anna Hill, asked the student body to be as helpful as possible; that is, that we should all gather around the band and Cheer for the team. Throughout the year many new successful cheers were formed. Because of the cooperation of the student body, more strength was gained by the club. We are truly proud to say that the club served its purpose, and the school spirit of the student body was greatly strengthened. Page Sixty-two Reading from Left to Right;FlRST ROW: A. Hill.

Musically, they showed a great improvement and also controlled their financial matters very well. The Band sold pencils with the basketball and football schedules on them in order to make money to meet their expenses. They maintained a refreshment stand at the basketball games, also one at the Alumni Dance. The Band conducted a movie in the Victoria Theatre, and later in the year they held a l BOYS' BAND OBTAINS NEW LEADERS bake sale. i Conventions, usually held throughout the state, were not numer- OFFICERS l ous this year; hence, the activities of the band decreased.

The first Glee Club, organized in the school year of i93T-32, had a membership of one hundred and fifty girls. This membership was decreased to thirty-two during the same year. Since then, the number of voices in the club has varied from fifty to the present OFFICERS day number which is seventy-five. R0 Callers To become a member of the Girls, Glee Club, one had to have ELLA HOPPES her voice tested by Mr. Kemmerer; any Sophomore, Junior, or Senior JUNE WALL girl was eligible for membership. The girls met every Wednesday CLARA CONNELY morning at 8:20 for rehearsal in the gymnasium.

During the Christmas season, the Glee Club journeyed to the Coaldale Hospital to sing for the patients. This trip is an annual affair. They also sang at the Commencement Exercises. To end the year, the girls held a banquet with the dues that were collected each month. At this banquet, every girl who had been a member of the club for three consecutive years was presented with a music pin, provided that her absences had been warranted.

Miss Pfeil has supervised the club since it was organized. The club held its rehearsals every Tuesday morning at 81l5 in the gymnasium. During the year the club rehearsed some of the songs which it had sung previously. A few of these were: HStouthearted Men, i'Kentucky Babe, i'Deep in My Heartf' and HTea for Two.'l The newest selection that the club rehearsed was HCantt You Hear Me Calling, Caroline? Regardless of the fact that the membership OFFICERS was decreased from forty-tive to thirty-five, the quality of the club's singing was improved. During the past year, the club sang at several President high schools in the vicinity. Several of these high schools were im- BYRON WOODBRIDGE pressed by the clubs singing and later organized glee clubs of their own. The club also sang at the Coaldale Hospital in the spring. The Octet, which is also directed by Miss Pteil, was chosen from the boys who were in the Glee Club. These eight boys gave several Director l exhibitions of their excellent singing when they attended banquets MISS PFEIL during the year. The Octet also sang at the Christmas Party and the Hi-Y Banquet. This year's Octet consisted of four Seniors, one Junior and three Sophomores. They were as follows: First TenoreWalter Campbell, Robert Trevorrah. Second TenoreEarl Steigerwalt, George A. Griffiths. BaritoneeRobert Filer, Byron Woodbridge. Bass-Glenn Dowd, John Agnor.

SUCCESSFUL YEAR FOR SENIOR DRAMATICS OFFICERS President DONALD HOUSER Secretary EDITH SOZIO Play Directors PHYLLIS CARTER ERMA LENKER Adviser MR. STINE This year the membership of the Senior Dramatics Club included twenty-nine. Tryouts were held at the beginning of the year by the faculty adviser, Mr. Stine. Those who showed possible dramatic talent were chosen. The club desired to present a Christmas play before the holi- days. Accordingly, a play-selection committee, choset. by Mr. Stine, selected t'Catching Up With Christmas. This play was about Aunt Sue, who thought that she had grown too old for Christmas. But when she came to her sister's home for a rest, she discovered, with the help of the family, just how mistaken she had been. The enthusiastic reception by the students, showed that Phyllis Carter, the student directress, had done a fine job. Another play-selection committee chose a one-act piay entitled T'The Dormitory Dub. This play was about a very unpopular college girl. However, after the accomplishment of a notable deed and the revealing of her true identity, she became the most popular girl. A casting commit' .e selected the cast with Erma Lenker as stu- dent directress. After tne directress had drilled the cast to her satis- faction, Mr. Stine held a few practices to smooth the rough edges. This play was also given before the student body, and it was a howling success. Dues which were collected monthly were used to buy play books. Because of the well presented plays, the Dramatics Club had a very successful year. Page Sixty-six WWWW'W-w 5 PH I NX SEATEDeLeft to Right: Rt Filer, M. Forrest, C. Cook. A. G. Gi'iffiths. C.

Wodehouse and it was an ambitious undertaking for the Seniors because of the large cast, and the number of properties required. Since the Class of 42 was particularly talented in dramatics and in stage management, a play of this type could be attempted, and the audience, which is faithful to high school plays, could be given a different play. The characters who had the leads turned in an excell- ent performance and the supporting cast also did some very good acting. One of the three scenes in the first act was a street in London. The background for this part of the play was painted by Michael Felsoci and James Erbe. Jack Costello and Joe Padora were stage managers and Erma Lenker, with the help of Donald Delp, took charge of the properties. The one night performance which the play had was a complete sell-out and this, along with the avorable comments by the audience on the acting and the scenery, should be gratifying to the cast and to the persons who worked backstage, Page Sixty-seven CAST ROBERT FILER GEORGE GRIFFITHS BERNARD GREENE CALVIN GARBER DONALD HOUSER CLAIRA COOK CATHERINE SCHILBE BYRON WOODBRIDGE RUTH HOOD MARY FORREST RICHARD KERSHNER ANITA KEARNEY MICHAEL FELSOCI DICK STEINERT BERTHA ZEBROSKY DOROTHY ANDROWSKY JEAN FEY BRUCE REICHELDERFER Equipment Boys: Jacy Tiley, Russell Long, Paul Lewis, Jack Agnor. ACTIVE SEASON FOR BUGLE CORPS The Corps, after completing its vigorous fall season, retired into winter i'hibernationf which consisted of practices in drilling, receiving of new music, shaping up the reserves into readiness for their future positions, and a million other things which enable the Corps to come forth each spring and continue its wide-tlung success. Spring, summer, and fall activities for i941 consisted of annual appearances on Memorial Day, Flag Day, Armistice Day, and other OFFICERS parades, including one at Berwick for the celebration of the Thou- sandth Tank. In August, they participated in the ElkTs Convention at Drum Maiors Pottsville. MIRIAM DEVLIN Because of the interrupted football season, the Corps did not attend any out-ot-town games, but performed at a number of home games and presented a different drill each time, one of which was an appropriate TV for Victory. GUidonS Also, each section has been individually active. The bugle section DORIS OTTO boasts a tap group for special occasions, both patriotic and light. Then, the bell lyre group has a special quartet which entertains at numerous town social functions. The Sophomores who will become drum majors in their Senior year were picked in December after a tryout, a practice which first MISS STEICERWALT came into existence last year. The Sophomores chosen were Dina Dalcin and Mildred Mack. Miss Steigerwalt, our more than competent adviser, is assisted by Mr. Knorr, Mr. Lauer, Mr. Brooks, Mr. Craft, and Miss Woodward. Also on the essential list are the five equipment boyseJack Tiley, Russell Long, Herman Kaplan, Paul Lewis, and Jack Agnor. All in all, the Corps can count this past season a successful one. Prizes and praises were won for first-rate playing and parading. ELIZABETH YOST ALICE TYUSKAUSKAS Adviser Page Sixty-eight l 1 l l speiNx Reading from Left to Right-FIRST ROW: 6. Gregitas, C.

LARGEST ORCHESTRA TO DATE The school orchestra, which at one time consisted of only a few pieces played by students still in school and the others played by alumni who could be reached when an orchestra was needed, was this year for the first time made up entirely of students still in school and has now attained a membership of twenty-eight. This membership included several players from Junior High School who will be trained to take the places of the members who graduate. This year, as in previous years, the school orchestra has been most active. It made its first appearance at the Senior Play and was greeted with applause. It also played at the Operetta, Class Day, and Com- mencement. Members of the orchestra competed for musical honors in musical contests held in Tamaqua and the surrounding districts, Russell Edmonds was particularly successful at winning prizes for his trumpet playing. Tamaqua was well represented at the All-State Band held at Susquehanna University, April 30, May 1, 2, 3. Bruce Reichel- derfer, solo comet; Russell Edmonds, first trumpet; Glenn Dowd, second clarinet; Richard Kershner, first clarinet; Robert Trevorrah, first saxophone; Bruce Hartman, second clarinet; and Byron Wood- bridge, baritone. The orchestra members and their director, Professor Martin T Kemmerer, deserve the commendation of the student body for their fine performances. Page Sixty-nine Director MR.

Kemmerer, who had charge of the complete performance, Miss Pteil, who coached the chorus, and Miss Tennant, who taught the dances. The setting of this interesting Operetta was a lawn outside the Sunset Lodge, an American summer hotel. The time was the summei of almost any year. Mrsi Horace Manning, played lly Harriet Lauer, was a rather imposing widow who believed in dreams and su- perstitions. She was staying at the hotel with her two daughters, Mary Forrest and Lois Neifert, when the boys, Tommy Rowlands and Walter Campbell, who were in love with the daughters, arrived. During the course of the action, not one but four love plots were unravelied and there were many laugh-provoking situations, bised on the use that is made by the enterprising boys of Mrs Manning's belieic in dreams. The acting, the music, and the direction won applause from the capacity audience which heard the Operetta.

When they got started, however, it was for a fairly successful season be- cause, although they had lost many letter men, they won three games, lost tour, and tied one. ; Starting the season at Coaldale with the grudge game, 1 the Tams defeated Coaldale, 7-0; then a strong Mahanoy City 3 team, 13-12. Their second game away was also a success, the t Tams winning from Nesquehoning, 13-12. Except for the 0-0 i tie with a powerful Pottsville team, the Raiders lost the re- ! maining games, although they fought to the end. They were i beaten by Lansford, 20-0; Blythe, 9-6, and Shenandoah, 27-16. To start the 41 season, the Tams defeated Coaldale, 7-0, by a fourth period touchdown pass from Costello to Steiger- wait.

The Tams held them for three periods and then blew up, Lanstord in the fourth period scored 20 points on two intercepted passes and a long run. This game was played before the largest crowd of the season. The Raiders, outplaying the county-seaters all night long, failed to score and C hne to a scoreless deadlock with Potts- ville, The Tams, although within the 30 yard line three times, failed to tally. The Raiders outclassed the opponents, scoring ii first downs to their 5. Doing a bit of brilliant footwork, Ed. Fogarty of Blythe kicked a 25 yard field goal to win, 9-6. Although the Tams scored first, the visitors managed to get a touchdown and a field goal in the final period. This field goal was one of the few seen here in many years. a,xs .. , , 7'7 Page Seventy-eight Although not giving up until the final whistle, the Tams were defeated at Shenandoah, 27-16, on two quick first period touchdowns. Abromitis carried the mail for the locals while Henne recovered a fumble behind the goal line for another score. The Raiders also scored a safety against the winners. The blocking in this game proved very efficient as Abromitis dashed 50 yards for a touchdown. The Shenandoah game was the la: ,ame for Costello. Swider, Matto, Moyer, and Rakusky. Some of the players participated in post season benefit games. On Thursday.

TRAINING FOR THE VARSITY 1941 6 25 RECORD Coaldale .......... Nesquehoning ...... 0 Four years ago a Junior Varsity Football Team was formed, composed of members of the Freshman, Sophomore, and Junior classes. The training and experience received by the players on this team was a great help to the coaches for the following seasons. This year this custom was continued and the Juniors again had a schedule of their own and their own following, C2ccause ef the shortened season they played only two games, winning one, and tying one. The tie was registered against Coaldale on Armistice Day and the following week the win was registered against Nesquehoning. Although Coach Schaeffer had new and young material, he brought the boys through a successful season. Page Eighty Reading from Left to RighteFlRST ROW: Ti Domnic, R. Henne, Conagiskie, R. Hartwig, T.

Many of the TamsT games were lost in the second half, because of lack of confidence. Coach Purnell started the season with four Seniors, Steigerwalt, Filer, Dewire, and Young; he also used three Juniors, Jones, Rowlands, and Becker; and a Sophomore, Henne, who saw plenty of action. y The Blue and White Varsity, having won five and having lost fourteen For the second consecutive year, the Tams defeated FrackviHe, North Schuylkill League champs of last year, 35-28. The Tams managed to score seven points in an extra period to dOwn the champs. Dewire and Young shared scoring honors with eleven points each. The Tams started off with a bang by defeating Summit Hill, first half champs of the Black Diamond League, 37-36. Filer and Young took the spot- light of the game by scoring eleven points each. The Raiders overcome by a second period rally were defeated by an aggressive Mahanoy City team, 38-25. The locals were led by Filer with seven points, followed by Steigerwalt with six. The Alumni, allowing the Tams only five field goals, defeated the high school boys, 28-17. Young and Steigerwalt gathered five points each, By staging a great third period rally the Hillers got revenge for their defeat early in the season. Having scored heavily in the third frame, they whipped the Tams, 42-34. Filer led the locals with thirteen points. Breaking a thrve-game losing streak, the Raiders defeated the Freeland Whippets, 32-21. The Tams took the lead from the whistle and were never headed. Jones led the Tams with nine points, followed by Filer with seven. A strong West Hazleton team, rallying in the last quarter, handed the Blue Raiders a 33-28 defeat. The Hazle quintet, led by a margin of one point, won in the fourth period. Young was the high man with nine points, followed closely by Filer with eight. The Tams lost their next league contest to the Pottsville quintet, winners of East Penn League, by 42-29. Steigerwalt collected fourteen points to take the honors for the night. Page Eighty-three THE RAIDERS FOUGHT HARD I The Raiders, playing their first away league game, suffered a 39-23 defeat to the Allentown Canaries. Young of the Tams managed to get eight points. In their first league game, the Raiders overwhelmed the Red Rovers of Easton, 38-22. Jones led the locals with thirteen, followed by Young with ten points. Hazleton High took the measure from our high school quintet, 42-25. Hazleton, winner of first half East Penn League, was never seriously threat- ened. Young sparked the Tams with eight points. The last league game of the first half was lost to a strong Bethlehem team, 48-22, on the latteris floor. Filer and Becker were the high men with eight and five points respectively. The Tams lost a thrilling game to Reading High, 39-36; this was the best game the Tams played all year. This game was played because of a conflict; Mahanoy City had been scheduled, but was in a playoff game the following night. Young and Steigerwalt sparked the locals with eighteen and eleven points respectively. A second half goal-crazy Pottsville five took the verdict over the Tams. 38-22. The Tams led 7-4 at the end of the first half, but then their defense and offense seemed to crumble. Steigerwalt was leader for the Tams with seven points, followed by Young with six. The Blue Raiders were handed another defeat by the Allentown club when they scored only fifteen points. Steigerwalt led the squad with eight points. The Easton Red Rovers defeated the locals by two foul goals by Ziviski with less than a minute to play. The Tams led, l7-l 3, at half time, but were forced into a 30-28 defeat. Steigerwalt, having gathered twelve points, starred for the Tams. The Tamaqua five finally broke a six game losing streak by defeating a stubborn West Hazleton team, 28-22. Although behind by two points at the half, the Raiders managed to come out on top. Steigerwalt again led the locals with eight points. The Blue and White quintet lost another game to the Mountaineers of Hazleton on the latteris court by 45-20. The Tams took the lead for the first two minutes. but Hazleton quickly recovered and was never headed. Young sparked the Tams with eight points. Tamaqua lost its final game of the season, and alsn an East Penn League game, to Bethlehem High, 47-23. Proving too much for the Tams, the Liberty Boys led all the way.

The first halves of their games were always close and welI-played, but their opponents outscored them in the second half. The advancement to the varsity of Bud Henne, a Sophomore, and Don Becker, a Junior, was a great blow to the Juniors. This handicap also cut down the height of the team. They lost many games by a small margin and fought hard to win some others. The best fought game of the season was the West Hazleton game. At the end of game the score was a tie. In the extra period neither team could break down the otheHs defense. With seconds remaining in the period, Kasper sank one from out- side. West Hazleton brought the ball up the court, but the gun sounded before they could start their offensive play. Some Junior Varsity players will be a great help to next year's team. Sotak, Morgans, and McCregor were the sparkplugs of the J. st with Boyer playing good defensive ball. Reading from Left to RightWFiRST ROW: A. Semanski, R. Morgans, P. Sotak, H. Boyer, T.

Starting with untrained material and little equipment, the team enjoyed a fairly successful season, winning one meet, placing second in another, and losing three. The local tleetwings met some of the best teams in the state: Mt. Carmel, Pottsvilie, and Coaldale in district meets, and Schuylkill Haven and Blythe in local competition. The Tams partici- pated in the shot-put, low hurdles, running high jump, running broad jump, the mile run, and the mile relays. The following boys gave their effort as well as their time to see track make a comeback: SENIORS: Mock, Bausman, Krepak, McMichael, Morfy, Patrick, Mateyak. JUNIORS: Matto, Woodbridge, Sproul, Fink. SOPHS: Fetterman, Davis, Postupack, Valentine, Nefos, Becker, Jones, Abromitis. FRESHMEN: Mitkovitch, Neitert, West, Trevorrah, Krapp, and Henne.

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 will 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 years to come, Will strive for honors to bring to you, Success will mean work well done. Printed and Serviced by Kutztown Publishing Co.
