We Were, to be sure, only a small unimportant part of our school, but success, crowning our enjoyable Freshman Day, laid low any suspicion of lacking cooperative ability among us. With the school year at an end, We were no longer Freshman, because . . . Time Marches On. As partially dignified Sophomores, we participated earnestly in sports, debating, and other extra-curricular activities. We were especially proud of our athletic and debating stars. Soon unforgetable Sophomore Day, was at hand with its doubly joyous dance and card party. More quickly than anticipated We remained Sophomores no longer, because . . . Time Mmfcloes On. Becoming full fledged upper classmen, as Juniors, a sense of importance closed in about us especially on Junior Day when another successful class day passed by, climaxed with a dance and card party in the evening. How quickly those three years seemed to have passed-but Wait-can our Junior year have passed so quickly? This was the year Wherein we skimped and saved our pennies for our wonderful class rings. How proud We were that first day when we flashed our rings with all their glorious splendor into the eyes of our successors. How fine everything went that year. How sturdy We felt under the leadership of all our capable instructors. And then just as every perfect thing ends, so did our Junior year, for . . . Time Mmfcbcs Olz. The ARCANA 1937 1937 -We awoke to find ourselves Seniors confronted by many important problems such as that of financing our year book, preparing ourselves to enter the game of life where certainly education is a handy tool with which to work, and even to uphold our dignity as Seniors by setting an example for under classmen. Into problems such as these we plunged. Whole-heartedly backed by our townspeople, the faculty, and the underclassmen, is it any wonder that our class play Scoop,', the Annual Ball, Special Assemblies, and similar affairs had been so successful? Then came that unforgetable evening-the night of the Prom with its memories that will never grow dim-memories of lovely music, and dancing, and of gay decorations, and colorful lights. Every moment was enticing with variety and fun. As we now prepare for graduation, it is with sorrow and regret that we realize our high school days have come to an end. Soon we shall be gone forever realizing that there is a debt to society which we must pay, that, of making some worthy account of ourselves. We leave our high school with that objective in mind, for . . . Time Mmfcloes On. X The ARCANA 1937 JOSEPH J. ANESKIEVICH CLUBS: Science 13 Press 3, 4.

CLASS: Arcana Staff QEditor-in-Chiefj. Mary has proved herself to be a most talented person, and, as a student, she has established an enviable record. If a giggling contest were to be held, we're certain she would be the unanimous choice for first prize. EMILIE MARIE BROYAN CLUBS: Dramatic 23 Modern Language 3, 4. Emilie is a perfect exponent of the health and happiness of the wide open spaces. Probably horseback riding plays no small part in bringing this about. Isn't it a shame there aren't bridle paths in Hazleton? The ARCANA 1937 S GR AYCE RUTH CANNON CLUBS: Personnel 1, 2 CSec,y 21: Press 3, 4 QSec'y 41: Girl Reserves 1, 2, 3, 4.

CASTURA CLUBS: Booster lg Nature 25 Press 3, 4: Dramatic 4: Girl Reserves 1, 2, 3, 4 QV. Pres. 31. Alma seems to be all over the building at once, but it's only that laugh of hers resounding through the halls. We wonder how she keeps track of her boy friends-We never could. JOHN C. CHATLOS CLUBS: Science 1, 3, 4. SCHOOL: Band 1, 2, 3, 4. ,Iohn's studying is tinctured by occasional bursts of wit, humor, and musical effort.

Florence likes to picture herself as a tough Amazon, and hence thoroughly approves of the name Tarzan,' which has been playfully attached to her.

Let's ask him for some beauty hints, girls. GERALD O. EVANS CLUBS: Science lg Press 4. SCHOOL: Band 1, 2. When Jerry isn't just being quiet or studying, he's in- terested in mechanics.

Robert's mathematical and scientific ability are well known by his classmates. His greatest vice, however, is exaggeration. Robert can make a one-story building look like a skyscraper, and his words are, therefore, to be freely sprinkled with salt. HENRY A. GEORGE CLUBS: Modern Language 1, 2. SCHOOL: Band 3, 4, Orches- tra 3, 4. Although you don't hear Henry much during classes, he makes his presence felt at football and basketball games.

JEAN GOOD CLUBS: Press 1, 4, Debating 2, 3, Girl Reserves 1. Jean is sometimes called Harlow of our class. Is it because of her hair or her sophisicated manner? Incidentally, when you didn't manage to get out of tardy hall, Jean, why didn't you try the next clay's assignment? ELEANOR GOSENSKY Eleanor is shrouded in mystery.

Good The ARCANA 1937 N s CLASS PROPHECY When snow and sleet descended upon New York last January 119425 the following advertisement appeared at the foot of a daily paper: Florida Special-recreation car, orchestra, dancing, games, hostessesg 20 hours to Florida. Train leaves Grand Central Station at 2:05 P. M. daily. For choice accommo- dations, consult your local travel agents at 32 Pearl Street, New York Cityf' Exactly what we've been looking for! Being a buyer for a large New York Depart- ment Store certainly has its advantages. To receive word from your employer that you are to attend the annual Sunshine Fashion Revue, held at the exclusive Surf Club at Miami Beach is one grand thrill. My associate buyer, Florence Eiferd, is just as thrilled for she is to accompany me on the trip. We hurry into our coats and rush out of the apartment and almost fall into the arms of Ernest Koch, the elevator boy. Outside we hail a cab driven by our old friend, 'jimmy' Tanner. We arrive at the given address and, approaching the girl at the desk, we recognize her as Marie Rodgers. She ushers us into a large room where we find John Weidick in the capacity of a travelling agent. Pauline Kisenwether is at a desk typing busily. After making our reservations, we ride over to Fifth Avenue to one of the shops which caters to wardrobes for southern and spring wear. The models are displaying sports frocks and Marie Entiero, Mildred Sargent, Mary Simmons, and Eleanor Gosensky make very attractive manikins. When we finish our shopping, We enter a nearby tea room. Myra Wingate is the dainty little waitress who takes our order. She informs us that Agnes Podlesney is the proprietress of the shop. Having finished our tea, We approach the cashier and find her to be none other than Alice Hartenstein. We spend the next few days in a bustle of excitement. The morning of our departure arrives and we are settled in the comfortable chairs in our compartment There is a knock at the door and upon opening it I immediately recognize Helen Lohrke. She and Sue Super are acting as hostesses. Helen invites us into the recreation car Where the happy passengers are having a merry time. Glancing at a table in a far corner, I spy the familiar faces of Sandy Yacina and Butch Stashko. They inform us that they are headed for Daytona Beach to participate in championship motorcycle races. Both boys, you remember, married girls from our school. The hours fly swiftly and, arriving at Miami, we immediately drive to the Cabana Club where we are to stay. Entering the lobby We see Romuald Lapinsky behind the desk where we are to register. Robert Zobel, one of the bell hops, carries our bags to our rooms, and after refreshing ourselves we descend to the dining room. A waiter immediately approaches us. Imagine our surprise when we see Joe Aneskievich. He informs us that Billy McCann is the chef here. Strolling along the beach a little later we stop to watch the bathers. Near us stands a tall, tanned life guard. Of course We recognize Canary by his flashing smile. He tells us that uPete,' Stashukonis is stationed as a guard on the other side of the pool. Canary', feels quite proud for just this morning he saved the life of Arlene Maue who is vacationing here. The ARCANA 1937 K - K Attending a wrestling match later during the afternoon we are not at all surprised to see Don Horn, the wrestling champ, energetically defending his title. Eddie Pavloski is his opponent. We spend the evening at the hotel where Phi1', Rudolph and his Cabandians are furnishing the music. The master of cermonies, Elmer Dorneman, takes the center of the floor to announce the celebrities of the evening. He introduces Lois Yost, concert pianist. She is in the company of that noted bacteriologist, Werner Hess and his co- worker, Jack Carr. The orchestra begins playing and the spotlight is turned on Betty Morton, the orchestrais vocalist. The following afternoon we attended the races at Tropical Park, Examining the program we are delighted to see the name of Howard Reese as the rider of one of the favored horses entered by Albert Yenchick, well known stable owner. Robert Wambach also had a horse entered and ridden by Gerry Evans. We return to our hotel after enjoying a thrilling race. Settling myself in a com- fortable chair I pick up a newspaper and notice an article stating that Dominic Bartol, accordionist of world fame and president of The Anglers Clubf, had been appointed chairman of the Festival of States,', an important part in the city's entertainment program. Dr. Richard Hill, well known physician and Dr. Joseph Majusiak, veterinary, are also named on the committee. We climax our first week by attending the opening of a new swimming pool at the Florida Hotelf' Burgess Edward Dixon of West Hazleton and Congressman John Oakes are speakers. Other notables who attend are: Edith Schroeder, well known dramatistg John Serbin, Yankee baseball pitcher, and the popular journalist, Catherine Mackin. A bathing suit fashion show was held concurrent with the opening of che pool. Among the models we spy Agnes Harvilla, Miriam Price, Thelma Marcuch, Kathryn Winters, and Ruth Welliver. This was followed by a series of diving exhibitions. Arlene Swinesburg, Venus of the springboard, was among the judges. Strolling through the park adjoining the Good Samaritan Hospital, I recognize the tall, blonde, figure of Jean Good in the white garb of a nurse. She is behind the wheel chair of Stanley Uchno, head of the G-Men. Stan had been injured in one of his exploits. Jean informs us that Margaret Elick has been appointed supervisor at the hospital. Verna George, Magdalene Ogazalek, and Dorothy Koehler are instructors there, She also informs us that Byron Houser and Mary Seiwell, reporters for a New York paper, are here covering the social highlights. QWe remember Byron as a reporter on the We Ha Staff at High Schoo1.j I awake one morning to discover that the shower in my bathroom is not working. I summon the manager and in a few minutes there is a knock at the door and on opening it I heard a familiar, Hi-Babe. Of course it is Jackie,' Barnoski. His helper is Pitzerv Valitsky. I learned that Jack is the owner of a large plumbing and electrical shop. Bobbie', Gatski is his chief electrician and Kenny Heckrote and Walter Schallis, his painters. While waiting for repairs to be made, I turn on the radio and hear the voice of the announcer: This program has come to you direct from the Civic Grand Opera Company of Philadelphia where the performance of Verdi's Aida has just been completed. Mary Briding and Michael Szeliga sang the stellar roles. The orchestra has come to you under the direction of Charles Eroh. Your announcer-Peter Dercole, Entering a beauty shoppe with a name Marguerite on the large glass window, we are approached by Margaret Smith. She tells us that Marguerite Neveras is the The ARCANA 1931 owner of the shop and Wilma Schegan, Emma Rock, and Emily Horn are also beauticians there. Attracted by a display of beautiful gowns in another shop called Madam Millie's,', we go in and find Madam Millie to be Mildred Haas. She shows us some exclusive models by the Hollywood designer, Michael Sist. Later we attend an exhibition of the Four Arts club where the works of the well known painter, Thomas Staples, are being shown. Anthony Kadysiewski is also at the affair and receives many compliments on his current book of poetry. The patronesses of the exhibition include such well known socialites as Phyllis Schlauch, Mary Dvorshock, Alma Castura, and Mary Evans. At dinner we encounter William Richards, one of the better architects. He and Joseph Hircola are attending the architect's convention. Andrew Papinchak and Henry George are also in his employ. The Miami School Women's Club held a lecture which I attended. Agnes Ranjo, lecturer and psychologist, was introduced by Genevieve Witanek, the Club President. Agnes spoke on How to Get Along With Other People. The address followed a banquet at which Dorothy Meiss presided. The Sunshine Fashion Revue turns out as fashion shows usually do but then, business is business. Grayce Cannon, the well known designer, is there with her Secretary, Eleanor Quinn. We remember Grayce having a flare for modish clothes in high school. From her we hear bits of news concerning some of our old friends- Esther Rickenbocker's engagement. Can it be the fellow with whom she went to the basketball games? Good for Smitty.', I knew Harold would make a success of that milk business, and Mary Zuis appointed Latin teacher at good old W.H.H.S.-and Pete', Bodnar venturing into forest rangery. Remember his blush! Our vacation is over and we,re on our way home with dreary thoughts of a cold New York. The conductor asks for our tickets and turning to him we recognize John Skiba. He provides us with the news that Andrew Kendro is the train's engineer and John Zunski, a fireman. Equally surprising is the news that Bernard Durishin is studying to be a priest. We are glad to get back to our apartment where we find interesting information in our mail: An announcement of the opening of 'KPinky,s Print Shopf, Leo and Stanley Penkola, proprietorsg an advertisement for a new hairdressing establishment owned by Emily Broyan and operated by Emily Fuehrer. Returning to work the next day we are surprised to learn that one of our stenographers had left and Virginia Bonacci has taken her place. Virginia just received a letter from Helen Zankofski who is now a secretary for one of the prominent lawyers in Hazleton. She wrote concerning Frances Comchick's and Ruth Horn's marriages. That Regina Ranjo has taken over the management of Hersker's Theatre, assisted by Rose Duffy, and Jean Hebel is preparing for a prosperous season at Hazle Park. Myrtle Roth, Genevieve Checki, and Anna Voth are clerking at the Miners Bank and that Florence Silvasi is a dietician at State Hospital. Sunday and a welcome day of rest! We go to church where we hear an interesting sermon by the Rev. John Chatlos, after which Walter Schweitzer sings a beautiful anthem. And so home-happy with the thought that my fellow classmates of 1937 have succeeded in their various fields of endeavor.

Having selected blue and white as the regimental colors, and being placed under command of Colonel Herman Schweitzer, they moved forward with gay laughter and with banners flying. But soon the hard- ships and disappointments of an arduous campaign began to take toll of the green rookies and the ranks were sorely depleted through desertions. However, those who stuck it out were rewarded by the observance of Regimental Day, early in May. , After enjoying a brief furlough, the regiment again took up arms, and still under the command of Colonel Schweitzer, moved toward their second objective. They were now inured to the hardships of the campaign and, after a few skirmishes with mid-years and finals, the success of the second year was celebrated with the Regimental Reception in May. Having had another short leave, the regiment was again mustered under its blue and white banners and now an experienced and hardy band of two hundred veterans, again took the field for a higher education. The regiment immediately claimed its position as the nucleus of General Martin,s Army of Education. Again under the command of Colonel Schweitzer, and without any trouble except for A.W.O.L.'s the regiment overwhelmingly defeated the hazards of a three-year campaign and celebrated their victory with their Annual Spring Ball and Reception.

The ARCANA 1937 SUPHOMORE HISTORY In early autumn, 1935, a group of prospective Educational Stock- holders assembled at the Blue-Gold Institution of Learning -' and organized one of the largest corporations in the history of the community. We stockholders, determined that our corporation would go down in history as one of the best for building an education. In mind we had but one purpose-to acquire high rating plus high educational dividends. Since the slogan of our corporation is We Build the Ladder By Which We Rise,', we decided that every step should be taken care- fully and wisely. We determined that our trade mark of Green and Whitev would not so soon be forgotten. With such high ideals and standards, and with such a worthy purpose, we were all so busy doing our duties that the first year of our contract passed speedily and success- fully under the guidance of our legal adviser, Mr. MacFarlane, and his assistant, Albert Randis. Such constancy at our duties required a large celebration, and this was marked by Freshman Day, May 8. It proved to be a greatly success- ful affair, with all the stockholders arrayed in the colors of our trade- mark, Green and White. The only sad note in the affair was, that in looking over our group, we missed several familiar faces, who finding their duties too diflicult, had cashed inn their stock and withdrawn. After an enjoyable vacation, we again resumed our duties and found that, even though we had the foundation laid, our task was still a difficult one. Again the task of electing a board of directors confronted us. They were chosen as follows: President-JOSEPH USTYNOWSKI Secretary-EVELYN BRANDAU Vice President-WILLIAM WALTERS Treasurer-BERNARD RocKov1cH Legal Adviser-MR. BAUM The inventory reports showed that the stockholders had talents in many branches of business, and had successfully participated in the activities of the corporation. So, with the second year of our contract drawing to its close, we took time out for a little recreation in the form of the Sophomore Reception? Thus ended our second year, and we, stockholders, look forward to the future when the full four year contract will be completed, and we will cash in' the stock fruits of our labors.

BAND The band this year, as in other years, has been an added attraction at athletic contests both home and away. It has increased in number by the acquisition of a number of girls. Its musical ability has improved greatly through the efforts of Mr. Donald Luckenbill who has intro- duced a new kind of band music. This year, through the courtesy of the American Legion, the band received weekly drills under the supervision of Mr. Kohler. After three months of intensive drilling, a drill contest and concert was presented to the public. The three winners of the contest were awarded beautiful loving cups by the Board of Education. On May the 7th and 8th the band participated in a combined concert and drilling contest held under the auspices of the R. O. T. C- of the Hazleton American Legion. On May the 12th the band, together with the orchestra and the Junior band, presented its annual Spring Concert.

COMMERCIAL CLUB President-FRANCIS FERRENCE SCCICCZIY-HELEN JONES Treasurer-DOROTHY ENTIERO Adviser-Miss ADA DUNDORE The Commercial Club began its activities in nineteen hundred thirty-six with the objective that its departed senior members had left to it-to accomplish bigger and better things. With this aim in view we established the Lost and Found Department, Which, through the cooperation of the student body, proved to be a great success. Another laudable accomplishment of this club was the compiling of information to encourage thrift and to determine the average amount of money spent by a high school student for school activities during his four years. Naturally the Commercial Club had other activities which were usually informative as well as interesting to its members-especially the visits to local industrial plants.

BAUM Another successful year was recorded in the history of the Webster Debating Club. For the third consecutive time our debaters attained the distinction of being declared champions of Luzerne County and were awarded the two beautiful silver loving cups which are given to the winning teams in the Luzerne County Forensic League. In reviewing the achievements of this outstanding organization, we go back to the preliminary debate which was held the early part of December when twenty contestants vied with one another for the honor of representing our high school in interscholastic debating. The judges selected eight participants who comprised the debating squad for the year. Only two of the debaters had any previous experience in interscholastic contests. Witla this nucleus, Coach Alvan E. Baum had to build two teams with which he hoped to uphold the enviable reputation that the Wfest Hazleton High School has attained in Forensic circles. These teams met the representatives of Forty Fort and Luzerne High Schools in two triangular debates. After emerging victoriously from these contests, our debaters met the representatives of Hughes- au Th ARCANA 1937 i e S 1 Michael Kocau, Elaine Fichter, Mr. A. E. Baum.

Thus, once more our debating teams had achieved their goal, the championship of Luzerne County in inter- scholastic debating. Our high school is indeed proud of the splendid record that the debaters have attained under the capable direction of Coach Alvan E. Baum who has worked enthusiastically with the debaters in teaching them the fundamentals of debating. The contestants as well as their coach are to be congratulated for the honor they have bestowed upon our high school. We sincerely hope that future debaters will continue to maintain the line record that has been established, and that they will add new laurels for our Alma Mater.

The Girl Reserves with the help of the townspeople were responsible for many social activities during the term. The annual Christmas dance, well attended by both members and friends, was a great success. This was followed by an equally successful card party on March 16. The Regional Girl Reserve Conference held on April 2nd, 3rd, and 4th will always remain a pleasant memory. Hikes, parties and gymnastics were enjoyed by all members throughout the year. The social activities were concluded with thc formal dance in May. The success of the club can be attributed to the capable super- vision of the advisers: Mrs. Arthur Kostenbauder, Mrs. E. S. Teter Mrs. Simpson Crater, and Miss Phyllis Hinkle. 3 Q The ARCANA 1937 X .

One of the most important activities of the club this year was to purchase complete, new outfits for the cheerleaders. XVC sincerely hope that this organization will continue its success- tul club programs.

Some of this culture is brought to them through the medium of folk songs, foreign newspapers, and correspondence with students in foreign countries. These activities tend to create a better understanding and appreciation of the work being done among students at home and abroad. Naturally, by means of these pleasant, informal meetings We learn to appreciate more fully the language, literature, and customs of these nations and people.

During the year we have made several very interesting visits to industrial plants, such as Leichtman's Ice Cream Company, and the Harwood Steam and Electric Station. We also have made short hikes into the surrounding woods to study leaves, birds, and nature as a whole. Our meetings, at which we perform many and varied experi- ments, have always been very interesting, as well as informative. The Life of Louis Pasteur, a shadow play and one of the finest programs of the year, was presented before the student body by the Science Club.

Perhaps this year's team did not fare as Well as other teams had in previous years, attaining only three victories in ten starts, never- theless, it was a plucky, fighting team that did its best to uphold the traditions of our school in athletics. In recalling some of the games that Were played the past year, We can see that our boys had to be in the best physical shape to be able to hold such teams as, Shenandoah, Hazleton, and Minersvilleg the former being considered a potential State-Championship team. One of the best played and most colorful games of the season was that with McAdoo on Thanksgiving Day. Our boys climaxed the season in great style with a sensational Win over the Maroon and White, highly ranked and pre- game favorites. Before this game, they had not tasted victory in all its fullness since the second scheduled game with St. Gabriel's. Football season coming to an end, all letter men were called to- gether, as is the annual custom, to elect a leader for next year,s football team. As their choice they selected Walter Gavitt, hard playing, plucky linesman. Those players Who will be lost to the team next year through graduation are: Co-Captain John Yacina, Co-Captain Joe Stasko, Andrew Kendro, Anthony Kadysiewski, and William Kanaris. Though they will be greatly missed, We can depend upon Coach Harrigan fjudging from former teams producedj to assemble football teams which We can well be proud to caill the representatives of our school in athletic prowess.

Never before has a team come as close to winning a pennant as has the team of 1936-1937. A great deal of credit must be given to Alvin Slots Horn, who in his first year as coach developed so fine a team as to be a pennant contender. In the future we look forward to Coach Horn producing teams which undoubtedly will figure in State Championship playoff. Our hats off to a great coach. This year's race in the C. S. League proved to be one of the closest and most exciting in league history. The thrills, upsets, and exciting moments which were experienced had the crowds following and cheering our players on to victory. The quintet was lead by Captain Leo Valitsky, a two year letter man who played a guard position. It was he, together with Captain-elect Joseph Tomsho, playing at forward, who proved to be the mainstays of this year's smooth-working and high-scoring combination. John Barnoski, the other guard, was undoubtedly a great asset to the team. Big Bill Kanaris, jumped center and aided brilliantly in the team's scoring power. Other members of the squad who saw action were: John Zunski, Morton Banks, Andrew Hadzick, and Carl Wojciechowski. These lads could allways be depended upon whenever needed. The loss of Kanaris, Valitsky, Barnoski, and Zunski, through graduation will be great. Knowing Coach Horn's ability, however, we are looking forward to many more successful campaigns. 0 i .f l 1 , ffl A '--' ' I --.Q-L.- T.: K The ARCANA 1937 f Captains LEO VALITSKY Josem-I ToMsHo Captains: JOHN YACINA, WALTER GAVITT V Leo Valitsky-Captain of the best basketball team the Blue and Gold has turned out in years-a clear thinker and a good floor-captain -he kept the Wildcats playing heads-up ball in the fast contests of a hectic campaign. Joseph Tomsho-unanimously selected to lead the 1937 -1938 Wildcats-biggest surprise of the 1936-1937 season-set the league on ear with his spectacular shooting-if anyone can lead the Wildcats to a pennant, Joe can, because the boys all admire him. John Sandy Yacina will go down in the annals of the borough athletes as one of the greatest ends to ever represent the West Hazleton High School. He had all the qualifications of a great leader and fighter -all-regional end for two yearsg a new record in the district- knows the end position from A to Z-fast-aggressive--clean living- loves to play and won't quit under fire. Walter Gavitt has so impressed his men with the never-die spirit that he has the honor of leading the Blue and Gold in the 1937 campaign-a mighty tough assignment under the top-heavy schedule outlined for them.

The secret of it, he says, is a gadget which protects the diner's chin from ' w' 'A A 'A However, from Berwick comes the information that Robert Gatski, a rival inventor, will wreck the Professor's invention by making mustard, which he claims is guaranteed to stick to the hot dogs. PERSGNAL In the Green-Ridge Musical, Dim-Light, which ran for two nights on Broad Street, Elmer Dorneman gave the hometown folks a treat with his performance of the dimmest light. After last night's show, the entire troupe was run out of town and was last seen dashing through Beaver Meadows. Ernest Koch, famous Dog Trainer, in at statement to the press announced that in the fu- ture he will cross-breed only St. Bernard dogs. This method, he said, will produce a race-dog -which will be hard to beatfon any- track. This dog of his, as is ru- mored, runs six lengths ahead of its shadow, for the simple reason. that, having two short legs in front, and two long ones in back, the dog always thinks he's running down hill and travels faster. Joseph Stasko who successful- ly played a leading role in the Varsity W assembly program, has decided to take up acting as a profession. We predict a success- ful career for him in Walt Disney's Micky Mouse Cartoons. Maybe another Marx Brother. i A The ARCANA 1937 W MM-...li .i. -i-- .,Z'I.'f.'i.T.'Q. 1'I.i...

Jean Hebel, the only feminine radio announcer in the metropolis of West Hazleton, reveals the se- cret of her success in announcing. She attributes it to the fact that she talked so much while in high school.
