This cruise seemed divided into four parts: Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior. The group that entered the zeppelin became our class, and all worked with great effort toward a com- mon goal-the goal of success. The day that we were eagerly awaiting dawned on May 1. This was Freshman Day. An assembly program was presented which showed the talent of the class. In the evening of the same day a party was held for Freshmen only. This proved to be a very enjoyable event. As Freshmen we took an interest in extra-cur- ricular activities. This was easily seen by our showing in athletics and debating. We gave the best that was in us to our work and decided to Hitch Our Wagon to a Star. Then we came to land for a few months feeling that the first stage of our journey was successful. In September 1928 we again took up our journey among the clouds to conquer the second lap of our journey toward success. This was our Soph- omore year. School work was resumed by a band of happy, smiling students, feeling very much elated and very proud because of the fact that they were now superior to the Freshmen. Having organized our class, we immediately made plans for Soph- omore Day. This day arrived on April 26. On the evening of that day we held our first recep- tion. All those who attended enjoyed themselves. Our Sophomore year having successfully ended, we now enter into our Junior year. The first thing of importance was Junior Day followed in the evening by the Junior reception. The pro- gram rendered on March 4th by the Juniors was well received by the student body. The reception that followed in the evening added much to the success of the day. At the close of our Junior year we realized that our journey of wandering through studies would soon be completed and that we were coming to wider and broader fields which would require our undying efforts. With renewed strength and vigor, our will and desire, as Seniors, was to complete the last stage of our journey successfully. Hopping off again in September of this year, we chose as our pilot Robert Saxon, who was to guide us through the space which was left for us to conquer. lt was a sad band of students that made up our class in this fourth and last year, but each face soon brightened when on the eve- ning of October 24 many witches, pirates, and clowns were seen dancing in the auditorium. This gala event was the Hallowe'en dance of the Seniors. Hard work and toil occupied our minds for the next few weeks. This was shown by the efforts put forward toward passing our mid-year exam- inations. But a light of sun was opened to us when on Friday afternoon, January 30, all those who were present in the auditorium heard Mr. MacFarlane shout, Going! Going!! Gone!!! Yes, he was auctioning at the rummage sale sponsored by the Seniors. All articles sold were desirable ones, so the sale proved a financial success. Emerging from the dark cloud of the mid- years, we sighted the sun again and started the second semester with happy smiling faces although our hearts were filled with sorrow because we would soon have to leave our dear Alma Mater. During the remaining part of the year the class held bake sales, luncheons, and other social fea- tures which were termed, on the whole, as suc- cesses. But the two biggest successes of all were the operetta, Betty Lou, produced for the Senior class under the capable supervision of Miss Ruth Reese, and the play, When a Feller Needs a Friend,', produced by the Seniors under the cap- able supervision of Miss Letitia Greist. Now that our journey is ended and we come to land for the last time, we realize that the gang which entered into the zeppelin in 1927 for its cruise of high school life will never hop off to- gether again. As we look back upon our dear Alma Mater and think of our triumphs and de- feats, we only hope that all will look upon our work as being well done according to our ability. Our flight as a class is ended, but we are plan- ning and dreaming of making greater flights as individuals in the various fields of endeavor as we enter into a world of greater work and responsi- bilities. We take this last opportunity to wish success to all the undergraduates and hope that we, as ii class, shall live in their memories forever. Valediction wi? To thee, dear school, we bid farewell, To thee who cannot seek to quell- To quell our thoughts, our feelings true, Our rev'rence for thy gold and blue. We deem thee worthy for memoirs, Yet-who are we to weigh thy lores? Thee, who in thy bland nobleness Hast taught us truths of righteousness. For our light youth can but surmise To what degree thy power lies. We know not why, nor what, nor whence, Thy teachings seem to hold us tense! Thy wisdom seems to have no end! We drink but what we comprehend. We wait to let life teach the rest, And He, who knows all, makes us blest. For life is like a ship that's late And steered by a strange pilot-Fate, Who comes a hurr'ing right along To steal our childish whims of song. And out upon life's ocean cast, We turn to thee, our faithful mast, We know that knowledge learned from thee Can guide us safe across life's sea. So now, dear school, farewell at last, With happy mem'ries of the past And joyous mem-ries yet to come In our veiled future just begun. ISABEL Jorcn PALINIIER Aff. .Wy FRANCIS X.

V I 'K I f: 1 CLASS PROPHECY I-IE following is a letter found by the writer while looking over some old papers. It con- tains an account of the doings of the Class of '31 ten years after the time of graduation. I thought that it might interest you so I'1l pass it along. It was to Miss Jessie Horsefield, Secretary of Julius Rosenwald, Vice President of Sears Roebuck 81 Co., Chicago, Ill., from Miss Eleanor McKenna, Interior Decorator in New York City, who was visiting Europe shortly before the time of the writing of this letter. Dear jess : I am anxious to tell you about my trip to Paris and my return home. Having heard about and having seen so many of our old school-mates, I know that you will be interested in hearing my experiences. I went to Paris from London by aeroplane and had as my pilots Harry Higgins and his assistant Ernest Ecker. I had just settled myself for the trip when a magazine agent approached. When he came nearer, I recognized our old friend Mor- gan I-Ieekman. I bought a Womazfx World from him and began to look over it. The first thing that I saw was a short story written by one of the leading writers of the day-Hannah Goldman. Next, I saw a picture of Grayce Brennan, the actress who had taken Europe by storm. She was being interviewed by Peg Minnig, a specialty writer. As I turned the pages, I saw an article which told of the fame Isabel Palmer had enjoyed during the past few years as a result of her beauti- ful poetry. The book seemed to be very good so I turned to the front page to see who the editor might be. I found that it was Joan Antonelli. Remember, she was the editor of the Arcana and Wa'-Ha in high school. I closed the book and began to look out of the window. Soon the plane began to tremble and shake. The pilot told me that we hadn't enough gas, but we were nearing a landing field. We glided safely down, and just as we were getting out, a news reporter, with camera in hand, stood waiting for us. I saw that it was Paul Phillips. The pilot explained our trouble, and Paul hurried to report it. I went inside for some refreshments, and when the waitress came over to me, she seemed familiar. Surely enough, it was Marion DeFrain. She told me that Evelyn Astleford was the soda dispenser there. Just then the manager came over to tell her not to talk so much, and, much to my surprise, I recognized Nic Zochowski whom I remem- bered as a quiet boy. After finishing my meal I went out into the lobby to wait for our plane. I was looking at some advertisements and saw one showing what the well-dressed man is wearing. I viewed it closely and saw that Joe Kostaneski and Karl Krause were the models. My attention was dis- tracted by hearing two mechanics arguing about the plane. They were Alex Mesevich and Paul Weller. They couldn't agree as to what was the matter with it. Finally Ed Calvello, the Chief Mechanic, settled the argument by telling them that it needed gas. The plane was soon ready, and I resumed my trip. I arrived in Paris in a few hours and hurried to a hotel for a rest. While waiting to be assigned to a room, my attention was attracted to a couple, evidently just married. They seemed to be having a good time, judging from their laughing. I recognized the bride by her giggle. It was Mary Brown with Sonny Oberman. I hurried to con- gratulate them and bumped into some one else in a hurry. To my surprise, it was Joe Jump. He told me that he was now a traveling salesman and had just met a wonderful girl. He began to describe her when some one behind him said, Forget her, Joe. You'll find some one just as nice next week. We turned around, and there stood Frank Antonelli. After shaking hands and at u iff' ' i' l 5 w I ,131 'ss' 'Y recalling the old school days, he told us some things about himself. He handed me a name card which gave the information that Frank was now Sports Editor of the New York Times. He had come over to Paris to cover the horse race at the Longchamps Racing Course. Two of our school- mates, John Tyma and Harold Evans, had both entered horses in it. At last I reached my room and lay down to rest. I awoke to hear the shouts of a newsboy, Extra! All about the trip to Mars! Extra! I hurried downstairs and bought a paper to see who had performed this spectacular exploit. A surprise awaited me, for the first thing I read was, Prof. Richard Bonacci, noted scientist, conquers New World. Beneath that, First man to ever have this experience. What an honor for him! I remember Richard had been a prize chemistry student, and probably his life's work was begun in that class. I decided to spend the evening at the hotel and went into the dining room for dinner. A dance was in progress so I called the waiter to find a table for me. Imagine my surprise when I saw Michael Dombroski come over to me. I was just seated when the dance ended and the floor was cleared. The Master of Ceremonies, john Gillis, took the center of the floor to announce the cele- brities of the room. In this corner, he began, we have Bill Briding, the all-around American football player. Give the boy a hand.', The ap- plause was deafening, but soon john quieted it. Next we have Mary Baum and Dolores Spangler, members of the Follies. He didn't have to ask for an applause. And here,', he continued, f'Marea Galla, the novelist who has just won the Nobel Prize, and with her, Michael Colitz, the noted artist. Michael blushed just as he did in high school, so I knew that he had not changed very much. I wondered at the change in John, though, for you remember how quiet he was in school. He next announced a solo dance by Elsie Schweitzer, the famous German eccentric dancer. WIIICH the dance ended, I retired to my room for the night. The next morning I decided to visit Notre Dame. I was seated in an obscure corner when the air was filled with sweet music, then a hushed stillness, and then a beautiful voice sang a familiar hymn. I seemed to recognize it, so after services I waited to see to whom the voice belonged. Surely enough, it was Michael Zelaz- nock, the great opera star. My curiosity satisfied, I decided to visit some of the dress shoppes for which Paris is famous. In the first one I saw nothing that I liked, so I went to Patau, the well known designer. The first two models were dainty spring dresses. Great was my astonishment when I recognized Kathryn Deisroth and Ethel Tressler as the manikins. Perhaps Madamoiselle would prefer something more substantialf' said a smooth voice. I turned around and there stood Madame Helen Gonsior- owski, one of the head salesladies of the famous shoppe. She told me that she had always liked that sort of work and loved life in Paris. After making a few purchases, I left an order for them to be sent to my hotel and then finished my shopping on foot. In the next window I saw some beautiful furs at very reasonable prices. I glanced at the name Faux Fur Shoppe. Could it by any chance be Arlene and Leonora of our class? I hurried inside to give the secretary my name. She was busily clicking at the typewriter but finally turned around. It was Doris Bain- bridge. She told me that Arlene and Leonora had the fur Shoppe and that she was also part of the firm. I returned to my hotel and found a telegram there for me. It was from my firm, telling me to return to America immediately. I packed my clothes, ate my lunch, and, in less than no time, I was at the airport. I got into the plane to which I had been directed and seated myself comfort- ably. I glanced at the persons sitting around me and saw in the seat across the aisle a familiar' figure. I jumped up from my seat and went over to her, for it was our old friend Miriam Stauffen- berg. She told me that she had been in Paris con- tinuing her study of the French language. We spent much of the time of our trip together. Finally, the Statue of Liberty welcomed us back to New York. At the airport I was met by Doris Kraft, a. news reporter, who wanted my opinion of Europe. After talking a few minutes with her, I hailed a cab and directed the driver to take me to my hotel. He didn't seem to understand me, so I re- peated what I said. Looking at him more closely, I saw that it was Tubby Houser. He began the ride with a few bumps but soon went so fast that I could scarcely keep my seat. Suddenly there came a crash, I screamed and knew no more. When I awoke I heard voices over my bed, and upon opening my eyes I saw Jimmy Lannon and Victoria Michalski arguing about the merits of two different medicines. Viccy told me that she was the superintendent of the hospital and that Jimmy was the head doctor. Viccy and Jimmy had Lorna Evans and John Schallis under their care. I learned that we had bumped into a truck and the driver was going to sue Tubby for damages. He asked for a lawyer, and who was sent to him but Bobby Saxon! Remember, he was on the debating team, and that's probably where he began the art of arguing. As soon as I was well, I was taken to the court. The judge had not come in yet, but just as soon as we were seated, the door opened and Charles Fogarty took the judge's bench. Tubby Houser was then escorted in by two policemen whom I recognized as Frank Kitchen and Donald Williams. We waited for the truck driver to come, and soon I saw Ray Schneider escorted by Thomas Koch, his lawyer. The case began, and as a result of Bob's eloquent speech, Tubby was dismissed without paying damages. The judge said, however, that he should drive more carefully in the future and take his job more seriously. When I reached my hotel, I found some letters there for me. I opened the first one and found that it was an invitation to one of the season's largest balls to be given by Helen Szutowicz. I learned later that Helen is quite a society lady. The next was an announcement of the opening of John McGeehan's real estate office in Georgia. John, you remember, married a girl from our school who had come from Georgia. The next was the announcement of the New Hairdressing Establishment and under it were the names of Thelma Houseknecht and Charles Romanelli, Pro- prietors. Having read my mail, I sat down and turned on the television radio. I looked in and saw a familiar face. just then the radio announcer came to the microphone and announced that Rev. Nevin Snyder was going to give a short talk on The Evils of the Modern Worldf' When his speech was over, I turned to another station and heard some one say . . . and if you have any love affairs in which you need advice, write to Gertrude Richards in care of the station to which you are listening. Remember, she was always giving us advice on our affairs at school, so she had lots of practice. I turned the radio off and decided to go for a short walk. I walked until I came to a large department store. Outside was a large sign which gave the information that this was The Lohrke, Ball 81 Co. Store. I went inside where I saw William Casper walking up and down the aisle. I went over to talk to him and he told me that he was the Sl Co. of the business. A little later I went back to the hotel to retire. Several uneventful days have now passed and since I have not fully recovered from the accident, I have decided to go home to visit old West Hazle- ton. I do not expect to see many of our old friends there since I met most of them in my travels. The town itself, however, will recall many pleasant memories of high school days. And now, Jessie, I hope that I might soon hear more concerning you and your new position as secretary of Mr. Rosenwald. An old schoolmatc, ELEANOR MCKIQNNA. V aaa -W -:-W. we W?-'?

This being the third anniversary of the class, we are very proud to announce that this has been a banner year for both the class and the high school. It was only three short years ago that the. members of this class were but little children. They, however, were willing and ready to gain knowledge. In order to have good cooperation, they decided to form a company. The officers of the company as elected were: President, John Bechtloff. Vice President, Lois Stein. Secretary, Betty Howells. Treasurer, Elmer Bair. It was at this time that the company decided to broadcast. It selected a name from its choice of colors, nile green and silver. In order to promote its growth, the following motto was established: Forward Ever, Backward Never. Each mem- ber of the company was urged to keep this in mind as he worked day by day. The Hrst anniversary of The Silver and Green Company was held in early spring. The assem- bly program and the party were both interesting and entertaining. Under Mr. Martin's excellent management, the companyis first term was voted a success. The company remained inactive during the summer months, but at the end of its vacation all members were eager to get back to work. As is the custom, new officers were elected: OF 6432 President, John Bechtloff. Vice President, Adeline DeLano. Secretary, Jacob Koehler. Treasurer, Betty Howells. This year's work was performed with even greater enthusiasm than before. Each member seemed to have gained more knowledge, and many members now found distinguished positions on the various extra-curricular teams, such as basketball, football, and debating. The Silver and Green Company held its first dance in celebration of its second anniversary on May 17. The company is now in its third year. It has but one remaining year of existence as it has only signed a four-year contract. It again has Mr. Martin as its manager. Officers for the year are as follows: President, Albert Bart. Vice President, Paul Derr. Secretary, Jacob Koehler. Treasurer, Betty Howells. Junior Day, April 25, was a great day for all. A dance was held in the evening. As a whole, it was a never-to-be-forgotten event. The members have been faithfully trying to live up to their motto and have gained much' knowledge in these three years. They become very sad, however, when they think that only one more year remains until their little group of workers and knowledge seekers must disband. They are very proud to have their company listed for this length of time, at least, as a member of the WHHS network. This is station J-U-N-I-O-R signing off until 1932. Aucii WA'rsoN. ps.-.

RY g f sq SOPHOMORE CLASS Sophomore Class Histor LARGE group of Freshmen boarded the trusty ship '33 at the beginning of the school term 1929-30 and began their cruise over the stormy seas of high school life. The greenness, which always makes the Fresh so conspicuous in schools, began to wear off, and the seasick members began to get back to their nor- mal condition. At the suggestion of our Captain, Mr. Althouse, to whose encouragement and untiring efforts the crew owes a great deal of its success, officers were elected. Those who were elected for the first term were: President, Herbert Schneider. Vice President, Frank Mackunis. Secretary, Edward Menig. Treasurer, Anna Rossi. That all the tars were anxious to make the cruise a success was shown by their cooperation with the upper classmen and by their support of all the school activities. In all the clubs, in the orchestra, in basketball, football, and in debating, these tars were found doing their best for the fleet. Freshman Day, which was held May 15, 1930, brought out for inspection all the ufrosh' in their holiday uniforms of cherry and white. The party held that evening was a fitting climax for such a memorable and successful day. The first lap of the trip came to a close, the boat was given an overhauling, and the crew received shore-leavev for three months. Then the second lap of the cruise began. Much more experienced as Sophomores in the requirements of the fleet, the crew elected offic- ers for the new term. Those chosen were: President, Edmund Kowalski. Vice President, Michael Mollick. Secretary, Marie Buecher. Treasurer, Anna Rossi. It was decided at this time to retain Anna Rossi as treasurer for the four years. This plan insures greater efficiency in the handling of the class funds. The second lap of the cruise found the tars supporting all activities as loyally as they had previously done, if not more loyally and enthusi- astically. Sophomore Day, which was observed in the early part of May, was a gala event. It was fbi' event in the Sophomore Class. The dance held that evening was the first held by the crew. The whole fleet turned out, and it was voted a success by all who attended. As Captain, Mr. Baum saved the ship from running on the rocks many times, and we, the crew on the '33, wish to extend our thanks to him. As the second lap of the cruise comes to a close, the members of the crew realize how great is their responsibility in keeping up to the standards set by others before them and by setting new standards for those following in their footsteps. Not far in the distance can be seen the port at which another shore-leave will be spent and where the ship will be prepared for the third lap as Juniors of the W. H. H. S. fleet, IRENE Guoacia.

We were 196 in number. The upper classmen said that we were bashful, shy and green, and maybe we were. just like the trees, how- ever, we,ve changed our colors. As we all expected, we had our knocks and bumps, our ups and downs, but with the aid of our competent officers- President, Frank Diksag Vice President, Paul Miller, Secretary, Helen Watson, Treasurer, Ethel Rittenhouse, and the inspiration of our motto, Work Is Af The Helm Of Success, we were able to weather all adversities, both large and small. When we did, we were successful both in our studies and extra-curricular activities. The end of the second six weeks proved this success, because there were many more pupils on the honor roll than at the end of the previous six weeks. We had become adjusted to our new environ- ment. The freshmen were well represented on the basketball and football squad. Mer- ker, Zius, Kulig and Dixon proved good assets to our athletic teams. Most of the freshmen joined some club trying to aid in its betterment. The Annual Freshman Party, which was the outstanding social event of the year for the lower classmen, was a huge success. A varied program of entertain- ment and amusement was greatly enjoyed by all those present. The fine spirit of cooperation and loyalty which was dis- played in staging this event was a true indication of the way in which the class of '34 intends to function throughout its high school career.

'Eg-fl fe P za The Student Council I-IE advent of this term has brought to our High School a new organiza- tion, The Student Council. lt is an effort to introduce student government. The Student Council is composed of one representative from each home room. These persons have been elected, by the students, as being the persons who can best uphold the traditions and ideals of the high school. The council meets every second week. On the alternate week home room meet- ings are conducted in order to discuss the problems of our every-day school life as presented in the council meetings. The following students comprise the Student Council this year: Senior: Richard Bonacci. Junior: Stanley Ranick, Adeline De- Lano. Sophomore: Rita Boyle, Irene George, Leon Dixon. Freshman: Robert Stoltz, Ernest Mow- ery, Frank Diksa, Howard Minnig. The council is very capably advised by Mr. Teter who is putting forth every effort in his power to make this organiza- tion a success. The purpose of the Student Council is to improve the atmosphere of school life. It stimulates an interest in all the activi- ties of the school, in high scholarship, and it encourages proper conduct in school. Now, at the end of the first year of the council's existence, we are glad to feel that this worthwhile organization has been successful, and we hope that the students will cooperate so that it will continue to be a success in future years.

But it made up for lost time by crowding into the last half of the school term so many good things that it has become one of the leading clubs of the school. Each member is a Peptomist - a Booster for West Hazleton High School and all of its activities. Organization took place late in No- vember with Miss Alice A. Brown and Mr. David MacFarlane as advisers. The officers elected for the year were: President, Amelia Diksa. Vice President, Joseph Jump. Secretary, Dolores Quinn. Treasurer, Herbert Schneider. Plans for the Thanksgiving Day Game were started immediately. Cheer leaders were chosen, and suits were secured for them. A series of pep meetings followed. These, together with new fighting songs and cheers, created great enthusiasm for the big game. However, the efforts of the club were not confined to athletics alone. On Feb- ruary 19th there was a Come to High School Dayn for the members of the Junior High School. This day started with an Assembly program to which the members of the Junior High were in- vited. Representatives from the different clubs and departments of the school gave interesting accounts of their work. Dur- ing the day, the junior High School pupils were allowed to visit the Senior High classes where they were introduced to the actual work of the high school. At the close of the day the visitors were given an opportunity to write essays on Why I Am Coming To High School, and the best one was published in the April We-Ha. The Club Assembly program was held just a few weeks after this Come To High School Day, so the Boosters imme- diately turned their efforts to preparing a program of pep and enthusiasm for their Assembly Day. The Calamity Howler,', a skit which they presented, was a challenge to the knockers in the school, who were urged to put away their hammers and become Boosters for the West Hazleton High School. The next event on the calendar of the Booster Club came as a welcomed change after the work of these two assembly programs, for it was a St. Patrick's Day party. Little need be said about this- for the party spoke for itself. And so the school term drew to a close with but one big event remaining-the Booster Banquet. This banquet was given in the interest of athletics and the School Band, and the Booster Club worked in cooperation with the West Hazleton Im- provement Club to make it a success. This record is one of which the Club is proud, for it means that a well established place has been earned in the life of the High School for the newest of clubs- The Booster. COM MERCIAL CLUB X v. S i Y . ee 1 i. ,s,,:.wgf.- Commercial! N 1928 the Merry Stenogs became the Commercial Club, but not much was heard of them. Most of the members were Seniors. This year, however, the junior, soph- omore and freshman commercials deter- mined to make the Commercial Club a worthwhile club in our high school. Of the thirty active members who joined this organization, the following members were chosen as our leaders: President, Dorothy Cannon. Secretary, Jennie Ferrari Treasurer, Marie Blaser. The purpose of this club is to give the commercial students a chance to ask questions referring to the commercial subjects, it also gives the students a bet- ter idea of what they will do after they leave our high school. We intend to visit some big business houses of our town to see how they trans- act their business. This will give us a better opportunity to see what we need to have before we look forward to ob- taining an office position.

The members of the staff will be chosen from the members of the club. From time to time programs are held at club meetings. These programs, refer- ring to the commercial field or work, are both recreational and educational. On February 18, 1931, at a Junior high school assembly, some commercial students gave a brief review of the sub- jects that commercial students study in our high school. They were: junior Bzcsinrss Training, Ruth Pol- grean. Saleswzrmsbip, Agatha Comcheck. Shorthand, Mary Coyle. Bookkeeping, Marie Yackanicz. Typewrilfilzg, Jennie Ferrari. On February 25, the Commercial Club held a party. This party was for mem- bers only. A good time was had by all. With Mr. Althouse as adviser, the club has reached a standard this year which it had long striven to attain.

Many who joined this club did not fully know the meaning of the word de- bate, but before the year had elapsed, those who were deeply interested not only learned the meaning of this word but also learned to love the art of debating. The first interscholastic debate ever held in the history of the high school was on April 28, 1927, when our team jour- neyed to Freeland High School. Cheers were given for the individual debaters and then the noise began-horns, rattles, bells, and what not-all contributed to the clamor, and with such enthusiasm the team departed for Freeland determined to win. The rooters were so numerous that it took three buses and twenty cars to transport them. Upon their arrival at Freeland, the West Hazleton High School students and their friends flocked into the Freeland High School auditorium. The Freelanders stood in awe-surprised at such an un- usual turnout. However, the welcome was cordial, and soon the seats in the auditorium were filled. Our team dis- played to Freeland some real debating. The question for debate was: Resolved, Thai flee United Stafes shall gram' inde- I7l'I1CIl6'I1C'f' to floe Philippines 'within the IIFXIK jive years. The question was a de- batable one and tended to make both sides do some fast and hard thinking. The arguments given by both teams were splendid, and, having a very appreciative and interested audience present, the de- baters debated with all the vim and vigor that they possessed. The members of the West Hazleton team presented their ar- guments in a capable manner, proving to the public and individuals interested in the welfare of the high school that they were out to win, and win they did. Any- one who heard this debate will stand by us in saying that we had a team which, under the capable coaching of Prof. A. E. Baum, was able to defeat any high school debating team. Never before was such interest shown in anything the high school undertook. Since then, many debates have been held at various times with Shamokin, Pottsville, Tamaqua, and Mauch Chunk. On Nov. 25, 1930, the preliminary de- bate was held, at which time a team was selected to represent the high school in the field of debating for the term of 1930-31. The task of selecting a team was a difficult one, and it was only after much consideration that the decision was reached. The team selected to represent the high school was: Robert Saxon, Peter Yurick, Isabel Palmer, Hannah Goldman, Marea Galla, Paul Derr, Marjorie Schie- trumpf, Alice Watson. In connection with the debate an interesting musical program was rendered to one of the larg- est audiences that ever witnessed a debate. The judges for the debate were Dr. A. D. Thomas, Prof. W. A. Herr and Prof. Wm. Hellings. Any one who is a member of the de- bating club may enter the preliminary debate. The oiiicers of the club for this year are: President, Robert Saxon. Vice President, Vera Evans. Secretary, Hannah Goldman. Treasurer, Isabel Palmer. Business Manager, Peter Yurick. DEBATING TEAM fgaia DEBATE HE first interscholastic debate of the term 1930-31 was held on the eve- ning of March 26, when West Hazle- ton so ably won a dual debate with the Black Creek Township High School. Both teams, at home and away, were awarded the unanimous decision of the judges. The question debated was Resolved, Tloaf Fbllill sfores are bcnejicial fo flat' publicx At West Hazleton the negative side was upheld by Paul Derr, Hannah Goldman, Robert Saxon QCaptainQ, and Marjorie Schietrumpf, alternate. The affirmative side was upheld by Geraldine Mensinger, Noami Zugler and Rita Zimmerman, representation from Black Creek. While the speakers were preparing their refutation, Andrew Ju- pine played a trumpet solo which met with much applause, and Miss Anna Hinkle rendered a vocal solo, Tree, which seemed to delight the audience. The refutation for West Hazleton was ably presented by Robert Saxon while the refutation for Black Creek Township was presented by Rita Zimmerman. Both speakers showed keen preparation and presented good arguments. While the judges were preparing their decision, George Gicking, a graduate of the Class of 1929, delighted che audience with sev- eral splendid saxophone solos. He was accompanied by Miss Doris Ernst. The judges at West Hazleton were Prof. Hoyt Heller, assistant superinten- dent of Luzerne County schools, Prof. Herbert Wenner, supervising principal of Butler Township school, and Attorney J. P. Feeley of Hazleton. At the Black Creek Township High School another interesting debate was held. West Hazleton was represented by Marea Galla, Isabel Palmer, Peter Yurick CCaptainj , and Alice Watson, alternate. Black Creek Township was defended by Florence Zavolin, Beatrice Lutz, Sylves- ter Engle and Leo Zambatte, alternate. Before the debate and while the speakers prepared their refutation the audience was pleased with the music of the Black Creek Orchestra. The selec- tions were played in a most creditable manner. The refutation for West Hazleton was given by Peter Yurick While the refuta- tion for Black Creek Township was given by Sylvester Engle. The judges for the contest were Mrs. Elizabeth Keiper, P. Moyer, and B. B. Landis. The West Hazleton High debaters were coached by Prof. A. E. Baum. Mr. Baum is to be highly commended for his untir- ing efforts in putting out a winning team. The debaters are also to be congratulated for the splendid cooperation and atten- tion which they gave their coach. a x f if sf- ff f.z5-fi-'EW 59552 . -xi? i V -.:. .Jigga ji f DRAMATIC CLUB Dramatic Club Il if tl blvlllfiflll ming to nw, Life is a jim' arf. Il is flat' supreme conszmzmafion Of all lbc' urls, The final finish and firmrixb. RAMA, the field of expression of great minds throughout the ages, has become woven with a clear de- sign into the fabric of the modern high school. The Dramatic Club of our high school was organized in 1924 by Miss Alice Jones. It was known as The Merry Makers. In the second term 1926-1927 the club was reorganized under the leadership of Miss Deborah Long. The club was. not very active during these two years. No plays were presented. In the year of 1927-28 the club, with the assistance of Miss Long, presented the three-act play, Eyes of Lovef' The club did good work during this period and re- ceived much praise and encouragement. During the year 1928-29 the members of the club devoted their efforts chiefly to one-act plays. Much practice was also obtained in writing short plays. With the success of several years behind them, the club of 1929-30 determined to make its year a banner year. Under the supervision of Miss Letitia Greist, adviser at that time, it produced a play entitled, Sonny Jane. Coming to the present year of 1930 and 1931, we view it as one of the most successful years for the Dramatic Club of our high school. The oflicers are: President, Grayce Brennan. Secretary, Irene Planutis. Treasurer, Lois Stein. In December of this year the club pre- sented a play called Am I Intruding? which proved very successful. ' - 52.9.

It was based on a mystery plot that held one's attention from start to finish and ended quite dif- ferently from what any one in the audi- ence expected. There was really no big star part, all the people in the cast having an unusual opportunity to shine as indi- viduals. The action hinges around the effort of Horace Vare, a wealthy business man, to keep from being thrown out of the Blue- bird Motors Corporation in which he is a heavy stockholder. Blair Hoover, an ad- venturer, acquires some notes of Vare's when the latter is short of cash and threatens to ruin him unless he will sell his Bluebird stock at a low price. V are has been forced into a tight cor- ner financially, when Jerry, eccentric son of his comrade of years ago, appears on the scene. jerry is a regular rustic tor- nado and sets out, not only to save the stock for Vare, but to win Vare's daugh- ter for himself. Jerry arrives fresh from Sage Creek, by heck! and is about as much at home in the palatial Vare house- hold as a bull in a china shop. Besides his whirlwind courtship of Margie, jerry furnishes much amusement for Margieis slangy young sister, Vi, and the latter's bosom friend, Dora, who is tho dithcouraged over her love affairf' he upsets the stately demeanor of Vare's studious niece, jane, and her serious- minded secretary, Ernest. Meanwhile he wins the admiration of Dukie Waedron, who is busy raising a mustache, and of Peter, Vi's school boy sweetheart. He flies from the winning wiles of Mona, the pert little French maid, and keeps his eagle eye on Mrs. Hastings, the mysteri- ous woman in black. Throughout the play the rapid action brings about one situation after another in which are mingled thrills and laughs. The comedy is natural, not forced, the characters have the mannerisms which we see about us in everyday life, and the interest is well sustained to the final cur- tain. The cast of this play as presented by our club was as follows: Mrs. Hastings ,,., ,,...,..,,,.. ...... L o is Stein Blair Hoover ..,. t . Raymond Schneider Ernest Ratloburu ,..,.... .

HI-Y HE Hi-Y Club which was first or- ganized in the year 1929-30 was re- organized in September 1930 for the 1930-31 term with five members of the previous year as a nucleus. The following officers were elected to guide the destinies of the club: President, Francis Antonelli. Vice President, Michael Colitz. Secretary, Peter Yurick. Treasurer, Albert Bart. Under the direction of Mr. MacFarlane, our new adviser, the club has made rapid and successful progress. Mr. MacFarlane replaced Mr. Martin as adviser at the be- ginning of the year and has ably filled his place. Many new members were admitted to the club, which followed a planned pro- gram. The club was able to present dif- ferent speakers and various programs which were of interest to its members. One of the outstanding social events in the calendar of 1930-31 in the high school was the dance that was sponsored by the Hi-Y Club in honor of the foot- ball team. This dance was held during Thanksgiving vacation and was attended by several hundred students and alumni. On December S, 6 and 7, twelve boys of the club attended the Northwest Dis- trict Clder Boys' Convention held at Milton. The boys from the West Hazle: ton club contributed their share toward the success of the convention and had several honors bestowed upon them. The boys who attended this convention were: Francis Antonelli, Michael Colitz, Albert Bart, Peter Yurick, Richard Bonacci, Joseph jump, Michael Dombroski, John Tyma, Robert Saxon, John McGeehan, Charles Fogarty and Joseph Batchisin. During Christmas vacation a Father- and-Son banquet was held. A large num- ber of fathers of members of the club were present. Another important event was the joint meeting with the Hazleton Hi-Y at the Y.M.C.A. building. This meeting served to get members of both clubs acquainted with each other. At this meeting the pro- gram of activities of both clubs was dis- cussed, and as a result several changes for the better in each club program were made. At this meeting the principal speaker was Mr. Nelson, the chief adviser of all Hi-Y Clubs in the Northeast dis- trict. Mr. Nelson gave each club good advice for the future. The purpose of this club is to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high ideals of Christian character and living. The Hi-Y Club has tried to live up to these ideals, and how well they have succeeded is shown by the great interest taken in the club by the whole student body. We sincerely hope that the students will continue to uphold the club and help to make it one of the outstanding organ- izations of thc school. v MODERN LANGUAGE CLUB a. f- , . ra N51 if 'ihlif-s ia, fa'4'igg3c1M History of the Jvloafewe .Gzngmge lab HE Modern Language Club was first organized in 1928 under the title of Le Cercle Francais by Miss Flor- ence Dundore, teacher of modern lan- guages. Its purpose was to promote a better understanding of the French lan- guage and a greater interest in French life and customs. This year the club was reorganized by Miss Dundore under the title of The Modern Language Club in order to ad- mit both French and German students. The purpose of the club remained as be- fore including, however, the same desire for an increased interest in the German language and the German people. Oihcers elected for the club for the year were as follows: President, Michael Colitz. Vice President, Frank Kitchen. Secretary, Miriam Stauffenberg. Treasurer, William Oberman. As separate meetings of the French students and the German students were to be held, officers were elected to take charge of the respective meetings. The officers elected by the French section were as follows: President, Helen Szutowicz. Vice President, Paul Weller. Secretary, Pauline Petro. Officers elected by the German section were: W President, William Casper. Vice President, Marian DeFrain. Secretary, Mary Fink. At the regular meetings of the club, reports on matters of interest to a group engaged in language study were given by members of the club. Songs were learned, games played, and puzzles worked-all this being done in French or German. At one of the meetings of the club Reverend Selman of the Trinity Luth- eran Church of this community gave an entertaining talk on German people. All who heard this speech were given a broader view and better understanding of German life. Rev. Selman is a native of Germany. The club greatly appreciated this talk and hopes to be able to hear the speaker again. On March 28 a program was presented in the assembly by the club. It consisted of a short play, La Faim est un Grand lnventeurv in French, and a scene from William Tell in German. The mean- ing of the plays could be interpreted by the actions of the members of the casts. On February 4 the club held its annual party. This social event proved an en- joyable one. The seniors will soon leave, but they hope that the remaining members and the members-to-be will further the success of the club.

Q Srience lub N the month of September, 1928, the Science Club of West Hazleton High School reorganized after a long period of inactivity. The membership consisted mainly of members of the Freshman class -boys who were interested in scientific work. The club had as its adviser Mr. Bringenberg, a member of the High School faculty. At the first meeting of the club, activities were planned which were to be carried out at different times in that school year. Among these activi- ties were experiments and field trips. The experiments could be obtained from books or they could be original. With the opening of the year 1929-30 the membership of the clubwas increased. Many freshmen joined the club. This proved an incentive for the charter mem- bers to do bigger and better work. Dur- ing the course of the school term the club made a few field trips with Mr. Bringen- berg, the club adviser. The purpose of thefield trips was to study the nature of flowers and the habits of insects. Experi- ments were also performed in the high school laboratory, many of these were on the order of chemical tricks which are used by road fakirs and such. Up to this time the club membership was made up of all boys. At one of the meetings of the club, ll plan was suggested that each member performing an experiment or bringing a report on any scientific topic should re- ceive a number of points for which a prize would be offered at the end of the school term. This was considered a good plan by the club so it became effective at the next meeting. The number of points to be given had to be satisfactory to every member present. The 1930-31 term was spent in more interesting experiments. At times the entire club participatedg at other times individual members who were particular- ly gifted led the performance of experi- ments. Among these experiments were glass-blowing, uses of the microscope in the study of insects and other animals, collection of insects, minerals, stamps, or any other hobby in which some member of the club had a special interest. The oflicers of the club this year are: President, Edward Radowicz. Vice President, Donald Barnes. Treasurer, Joseph Gasper. Secretary, George Rhode. The Edison Ever Ready Science Club, we feel and are proud to say, is now organized and working on a firm basis. We trust that the coming year will bring out better ideas and greater inter- est, supported by an increased enrollment. --. .mn--,-i.,-. . Q ,...,,a.---?...4, ...sr .A 4 r PRESS CLUB as X my lub HE Press Club was organized in 1924, under the supervision of Miss Marion Baetz. The main purpose of the club is to publish and Hnance the We-Ha, the school paper. During the first year mimeographed copies were published, but as time went on the club developed and now it pub- lishes one of the best school papers in this part of the state. The paper which was previously in magazine form has been published in newspaper form for the past two years. This has resulted in greater publications and more sales. The staff consists of members of the club selected according to the ability that they have shown in previous years. The present faculty advisers, Miss Harriet Wenner and Mr. Robert Fidler, are responsible to a great degree for the success of the We-Ha. They have worked faithfully and incessantly to make the We-Ha publication a success. The Press Club presented a very good program during their scheduled assembly period this year. Is the Editor In? a play that was presented, was considered to be among the most entertaining plays of the school term. In March the club held its annual party. The club organized at the beginning of the year with only ten members, but new members were clamoring to be admitted. As a result the membership is now thirty- five. Among these thirty-five are in- cluded some of the best workers of the school. The 1930-31 Press Club officers are: President, John McGeehan. Vice President, Mary Brown. Secretary, Doris Bainbridge. Treasurer, Dolores Spangler. + W ' M '1'1 'WW 1 ' 'mf ' 'V 'Q N 'Wd' W' ' s ' sm- , sf 1- - , ' 'F 4 .ws,fwM.1m.. sfwiffke. s'?4WL43s'7fiQBBifeNHe-Yt:S1Qmsn4WS53EVuEy. rf 1 We-Ha Sidi GJVE Editor-in-Chief Joan Antonelli, '31 Business Manager John McGeehan, '31 Assistants Peter Yurick, '32 Isabel Palmer, '31 News Editor Hannah Goldman, '31 News Reporters Dolores Spangler, '31 Helen Gonsiorowski, '31 Adeline DeLano, '32 Mary Rohrbach, '32 Sports Editors Frank Antonelli, '31 Jacob Koehler, '32 Humor Editors Mary Brown, '31 Evelyn Astleford, '31 Eaeulty Advisers Miss Wenner Mr. Fidler Alumni Reporter Ethel Goldman, '29 Exchange Editor Margaret Minnig, '31 Senior Reporter Robert Saxon, '31 junior Reporter Marion Good, '32 Soplooniore Reporter Ethel Nause, '33 Freshman Reporter Aaron Goldman, '34 Typists Doris Bainbridge, '31 Leonora Faux, '31 Anna Lockwood, '32 Meriam Eli, '32 Emily Kraft, '32 11 fl WWW! dance-on january 13, 1931, in the high ilmjljf W Club HE Varsity W Club is composed only of letter-men of our high school. This club, first organized in 1927, has not been functioning during the last few years, but this year it has made a good start and hopes to continue this work in the future. It began by electing the following ofhcersz President, Clarence Briding. Vice President, Albert Bart. Secretary, John Gillis. Treasurer, F. Harrigan. The club held its first social event-a school auditorium. This dance was spon- sored by the club for a sick benefit fund for members of the club. It was well patronized by the students. The mem- bers of this club, together with their ad- viser, Mr. Harrigan, who is coach of ath- letics in our high school and to whom much credit can be given for the success of our athletic teams, are endeavoring to promote a greater interest than has existed in the past few years in the sports of our school. To be a member of this club is con- sidered an honor, because it is due to the untiring efforts of these boys that West Hazleton High School has been put upon the athletic map. These boys have had the honor and reputation of the high school in their hands, and they have tried to uphold this honor by being clean sportsmen. By so doing, they have been very successful in their athletic under- takings, not merely from the standpoint of games won or lost but from amount of sportsmanship shown by players. We hope that many more boys in high school may come out each year the various teams and participate in games so that they, too, might have honor of wearing the varsity W. the the the for the the CIuplni11-4'lm't Mu. PIARRINGTON, Cnuvlz JOHN GILLIS, Captain C FOOTBALL TEAM :SFF-Yi? ootbazll HE season opened with the familiar old battle cry, Go out and get them! This the team did. The sage had some pessimism to offer about this year's team. But as soon as the first game was played, all the pessimistic fans spread their rugs and gave the song to Allah, for again a great machine was to bless the wrinkled brains of the loyal rooters. The members of the team have to be compli- mented for their choice of John Gillis as captain, because he had everything a cap- tain needs, even brains. Captain John will graduate this year. He has been classified to date as the smallest greatest athlete that has ever worn the blue and gold. He has the distinct credit of pilot- ing the West Hazleton Blue and Gold to a record that will stand for a good many years in the anthracite region. It is a distinct credit to the athletic cooper- ation of both team and school to have run up a consecutive win of fifteen games. Football is the major sport here in our school, and from its infancy four years ago the Fighting Wildcats have lost but seven games. The old saying goes here: Always outweighed in ounces, but not in brains. The Blue and Gold team of 1930 was composed of seven mules and four horse- men, both were small-but, my! what a kick! They showed this kick in every game but? the Nesquehoning, and in that game they lost their patent kick due to lack of the right kind of feedg in other words, the schedule was so arranged that their strength was overtaxed by playing three games in eight days. The Nesque- honers played on the eighth day and gave the borough palukas an awful hammer- ing. This was the first reverse in fifteen so there is no use using the sob stuff. The team was a well greased machine this year, having the same backfield for two years, namely, the Bart brothers, Al and Ed, Captain Gillis, and Jumping Joe jump. The backfield had a won- derful change of pace that came with a lot of hard work in tutoring. The line was mighty. It included Captain Bill Briding, with potential ability to drive not only his own men but the wall that he was up against, Mike Zelaznock, cen- ter, who has shown his worth in every game he has played for the last two. Miken was noted for his accurate passes and ability to break through after diag- nosing plays. The other guard was the brilliant son of Poland, Nic Zochow- ski, who was a rock that was unmoveable and who was worth his weight in gold. Next to him comes another veteran who has plugged for three years to fight his best for the old Alma Mater. This he has done and we are well proud of him. It is no one else but our well-liked, smiling, quiet Bi1l', Oberman, a tackle who has been feared by all opponents. After the season ended, the letter-men were called together to elect a captain for next year and their choice was none other than that hard-hitting fullback, Eddie,' Bart. The Blue and Gold will lose 11 letter- men this year, namely: Capt. John Gillis, Line Capt. Bill Briding, Bill Ober- man, Miken Zelaznock, Nic Zochow- ski, -Ioe' Jump, Paul Bruno, Ray Schneider, George Lohrke, Edward Cal- vello and james Lannon.

BASKETBALL TEAM Bafkeiball Season, 1930-31 HIS year a fair season was enjoyed by West Hazleton. For the past two years victories far exceeded defeats at West Hazleton, but this year the Blue and Gold was defeated once more than it emerged victorious. The Blue and Gold had the honor of being recognized as the fastest passing team in the league as well as the team having the strongest defense. The team was led this year by Captain Bill Briding, who is considered one of the best guards in the Carbon-Schuylkill League. This is Bill's', fourth year in the roll call of athletics for the Blue and Gold.', Together with having the honor of being captain, he is considered one of the best basketball players ever to don a Blue and Gold suit. The team was composed of the follow- ing players this year: Schneider and Pet- roskey as running mates at forward, Al. Bart and Capt. Briding at guard, and Merker as center. Merker played his first game of basketball this year. Pecora and Schallis were ready for action at a min- ute's call. Out of the seven men on the varsity squad this year, only two graduate, Capt. Bill Briding and the diminutive forward, Ray Schneider, whom the boys will al- ways remember by his famous saying on Lf .,.,,,... the basketball court, Let's Go! Before the last game of the year the letter-men in basketball were called to- gether to elect a captain for next year. Coach Harrigan believes the boys used keen judgment in electing Al Bart. Al is one of the hardest players on the squad. Next year will be his fourth year in bas- ketball and we wish him all the success in the world.

The boys did exceedingly well for the Blue and Gold as a completely new sport. In electing a captain in track Michael Stiscowain was elected and the choice of the boys proved to be a good one, for Captain Stiscowain in the very Hrst appearance of the Blue and Gold in track took first place in the 220-yard dash at Coaldale. The track team was composed of many of our best athletes. Captain Stiscowain, who has graduated, will always be re- membered as one of the best runners at West Hazleton High. Nunzio Sacco, who has also graduated, did a fine job at the 100-yard clash in the face of very stiff competition. Russel Kimmel,- a quiet boy in school and one of the hardest workers on the track squad, has also left us through graduation. Al Bart, who will be with us this year, will again be seen hurling the shot put for the Blue and Gold. Eddie Bart, who, like his brother, is exceptionally good at throwing the shot put, will again be seen in action for the Blue and Gold. Albert Dombroski, who represented the Blue and Gold on the field of track as a pole vaulter, will also be seen in action this spring. An- thony Petrosky, who brought fame to his Alma Mater in football, also brought fame to it in track by staying in the pole mae vaulting contest until the mark hit 10 feet at the Coaldale meet. Thomas Koch, who represented West Hazleton in the 440-yard dash, will be seen in action for the last time this year due to graduation. Michael Zelaznock, who did some pole vaulting last year, will also graduate in June. Michael Colitz, who threw the discus last year, is another one of the boys who will be lost in June. These boys, as mentioned, are the ones who represented the Blue and Gold last year in track, and out of these only three were lost through graduation. With the surviving material to work with and with a year's experience, Coach Harrigan stated that West Hazleton will be heard of among track teams in 1931. At a meeting of the varsity W. club Coach Harrigan took the letter-men in track to one side and told them to elect a captain. The choice of the boys was none other than that all-around athlete, An- thony Petrosky, who has won his varsity W in three sports in his first year in high school. This year West Hazleton will enter meets at Coaldale, Shenandoah, Summit Hill, and a few other places which are not as yet certain. Coach Harrigan be- lieves that his boys will surprise a large number of schools by taking a goodly number of first places in the various contests. ig ,..a I Uhfogmplvf MLW SEQ SRMH 5 VFW Name Frank Antonelli Joan Antonelli Evelyn Astleford Doris Bainbridge Paul Ball Mary Baum Richard Bonacci Grayce Brennan Mary Brown Clarence Briding Paul Bruno Edward Calvello William Casper Michael Colitz Marion DeFrain Kathryn Deisroth Amelia Diksa Michael Dombroski Ernest Ecker Harold Evans Lorna Evans Arlene Faux Leonora Faux Charles Fogarty Marea Galla john Gillis Hannah Goldman Helen Gonsiorowski Morgan Heckman Harry Higgins Russell Houser Thelma Houseknecht Jessie Horsefield Joseph jump Frank Kitchen Doris Kraft Karl Krause Thomas Koch Joseph Kostaneski James Lannon George Lohrke Eleanor McKenna John McGeehan Alex Mesevich Victoria Michalski Margaret Minnig William Oberman Isabel Palmer Paul Phillips Gertrude Richards Charles Romanelli Robert Saxon Elsie Schweitzer Raymond Schneider john Schalles Nevin Snyder Dolores Spangler Miriam Stauffenberg Helen Szutowicz Ethel Tressler john Tyma Paul Weller Donald Williams Michael Zelaznock Nicholas Zochowski Characteristic Loquaciousness Red Hair Always Studying CPD Her Laugh Pesting Her Good Nature Seriousness Blonde Hair Her Giggles Blue Sweater Wonderful English Black Hair Peg Leg Blushing Her Laugh Quietness Frankness Knickers Mischievousness Red Hair Curls Quietness Questions Sleepiness Good Nature Littleness Black Eyes Permanent Red Sweater Noisiness Talking Chewing Gum Light Complexion Smiles Stuttering Neatness Goofiness Blond Hair Craziness Ditto Bow Tie Glasses Tallness Wavy Hair Raven Locks T allness Sonny Smile Neatness Leather Coat Meekness Black Hair Nuttiness Her Laugh Sweater Quietness Red Tie Petiteness Blue Eyes Spit Curls Bobbed Hair Tallness New Suit Girl Shy Q?-?-?J His Voice Thinness QU Senior Slam Tage Hobby Arguing Annuals Soda jerking George Latin Romance U1 Student Council Dancing Eating Peanuts Isabel Sleeping Football Rubbing Players Drawing Telling Stories Geometry Shows Chemistry Caddy Girls Flirting Studying George Talking Playing Violin Calling 'Signals Debating French Sleeping Pesting Laughing Rushing About Butch Mary Keeping Quiet Eating Apples Pesting Chemistry Wise Cracking Victoria Ruth Being Late Vera Kathryn Iimmy fWho is it now?J Teasing fwho?J Bill Betty Wilbur Dreaming Mary Tamaqua Being It Reciting CPD French QU Bob Hogan Maryland Skipping School Keeping Quiet Skipping School Eleanor Marea Letha Ambition Lawyer Journalist Chorus Girl To Get A+ in History Latin 'Teacher Chemist Engineer Actress Be On Time An To To Get To McAdoo To To Read In Class Skip School To Be a Manager Mathematician Somcone's Wife We Wonder?
