Ernvst Conviuo fOf!L .fgnniuemary THE GRADUATE I am a little puzzled and afraid Now that my turn has come to graduate, The life I've lived by others had been made But now alone I goto meet my fateg What lies ahead I only can surmise And base my hopes upon the dreams I've had I can not tell from books or old men's eyes More than a fleeting glimpse of good or bad. And yet I greet with eagerness the hour That starts me on the years that are to be, Within my brain and heart there is the power That I have earned in school and family. Come then, future, with your smiles and tears I welcome you with joy in spite of fears. -GEORGE EMERTON, Class 0 40 f0fA .xgnniueraary 15:1 wr J X '-.' ' 5 EI vA'.:A K- 754 ,ga 91- ,I 1 N .

Miriam was indeed still, except- ing, of course, the times when she got her Jitney in high gear going to and from games. She was a member of that mysterious H317 Clubf' about which we know nil. As regards her personality, all the nice things we shall say about the rest of the class could with justice be said of Miriam. Congratulations, Mim. WILLIAM MICHAEL ANGELO Bill,' St. josephif, Tork A second of thrilling suspense, a spontaneous cry of ex- citement, and our star quarterback and captain went over the goal line to make the first touchdown ever scored for Y. C. H. S. Bill is a five letter man, having been awarded four varsity letters in basketball and one in foot- ball. Awarded an athletic scholarship at La Salle College, we hope Bill will make good. Carry into adult life the principles you learned here and you will make good. RUTH ANNA BALL Ruthie'1 St. Maryjx, York A demure and reserved young lady! By what more suit- able yet sincere compliment could we remember our Ruthie ',? With her patient and diligent application to studies we too would have been equally successful. Her presence was always a good influence and shining ex- ample to others. We feel sure that Ruthie will find happi- ness in life by doing things in her own quiet way. l 2 2 foflt Jdnmymw MARY LOUISE BOWMAN Bow St. 7oseph's, York Our demure little Mary, with her dainty girlish ways and sweet smile, won the hearts of all of us. If friends mean wealth, she ought to be very rich! And if charity is the fulfillment of the law of Christ, she is perfect. What else can we say? Nothing, except to wish you well in all your undertakings. MILTON ELMER BRUGGEMAN Milt St. Maryjs, York Milton has a distinction that is somewhat of a record. He is a full fledged member of the Eagle Fire Company. We often heard the words: Brass buttons, blue coat, etcf, Without any experience whatever, Milt played a stellar game of football at center. We will always remember him as a level-headed boy, most willing to lend a helping hand in anything. So long, Milt! ELIZABETH MAY BRUGGEMAN Lian St. Mary's, York Personalities like Elizabeth's make this world a better place to live in. Her optimism was an asset to our class in divers ways. Industrious and willing to work hard to achieve an ideal marked her entire stay with us. We feel sure she will make a successful and efficient business woman. 23 rod, .fdnntuefwy KATHRYN ETHEL BUFFINGTON Nlfittyi' St. Mary's, York Reserve and quietude characterized Kitty. She was very firm in her opinions. Particularly fond of good reading and classical music, she showed the way to the rest of the class how to achieve success in high school subjects. A lover of outdoor sports she qualified as an expert swim- mer, bicycle rider, and roller skater. The nursing profes- sion has an excellent prospect in Kitty. WILLIAM EDWARD BURTON Bill St. Patrickiv, York Born at Tampa, Florida. Educated at Newark, N. J., Harrisburg Catholic High and York Catholic High, William has had the advantage of a varied education. He came here as a Junior and fitted into his class surprisingly well. He was a conscientious student and well mannered. We trust he will make the best use of his education re- ceived here, so that we may later say: He was a cul- tured gentleman and a scholarf, JOSEPHINE ANNA CATALANO 'fjloj' St. Maryis, York We are happy to say that Josephine was every inch a lady. An earnest student she applied herself well in the acquisition of knowledge that will fit her for a worth- while livelihood. Time and tide wait for no man, which means that we are loath to part with her congenial com- panionship. But we shall meet again frequently in our memoirs of school days. 24 ,!4l'Ll'LL1!8I :56ll g PAULINE MARY DEBES PeanyU St. Maryls, York What's in a name, we ask you? Plenty in this one, we answer. A little lady spreading sunshine wherever she goes! She has a pleasant smile, a winning disposition, and a charitable capacity for helping others. We cannot forget her work on this year book, it was her daily habit to turn in a patron or two. The Class of ,39 wishes you a fond farewell, and a long happy life. DANIEL DAVID CALLAHAN, JR. t'Dan,' St. jl0sejJh's, Dallastown Dan and Morpheus were intimate friends? For weal or woe? Catching that Dallastown Special' was really a job! Dan is an amateur photographer, an excellent geometrician, and a skillful orator. Me thinks he once read Speeches from the Dockln Well, don,t forget that many good men come from small towns. May life's pic- ture never be a negative for you, Dan. DORIS LOUISE DIETRICH Doris St. Mary's, York Innocence and intelligence sometimes shine through one's face. Instinctively we recognize these enviable qualities, and confess ourselves the better for having known such a person as Doris. Her diligence and scholarship com- manded the admiration of all. As the guiding light of the compositions by the 'E Sonneteersf' we predict a brilliant career in journalism for the first editor of the Catholic High Newsf, Vale, Dora, et te videbimus. 25 .!gl'Ll'LLl!8i 5d,I ? ROSEMARY ANNE DRISCOLL DMU St. Marjfs, York A toast to Indianapolis! We introduce that delightful, carefree, and attractive colleen from the west. Coming to us as a Junior, Rosemary immediately endeared herself to all. She made the staff of the '4 Catholic High News. No one suspected her of writing that tantalizing column, Heckeling Hazel. Dabbling in printer's ink has not lessened her daintiness and interest in interior decorating. May success be yours, Dee. RICHARD EUGENE CORSA Di6k'J St. fosephjs, York Richard has very well been called the little man with a big smile. His jubilant disposition fwhen not angeredj, poured forth into song, has the happy effect of driving away the blues. If a smile goes a long long way, Dick ought to reach the top rung in the ladder of success. Your classmates wish you the best that life can give. Vale! CATHERINE CECILIA ECK Cass St. josephis, York It is rare to find the ideal student, scholar and friend in the one personality. This was our good fortune, for Catherine was just this. Study was her pleasure and learning came with ease. Loyal and friendly to all, she engaged in many extra-curricular activities, not the least of which was Editor of this year book. Virtuous and wise, upright and honest, diligent and industrious-such virtues are sure to bring her success in the medical profes- sion. l 26 MILDRED ELIZABETH EVELER Mill St. Maryis, York Though usually quiet and reserved, Mildred had a flare for good times. There is a mischievous twinkle in her eye. Life is what you make it, Mill. We hope yours will be a never-ending succession of happy experiences gath- ered in the pursuit of doing good. PHILIP PAUL CRUMBLING Phil St. Marys, York Phil, our wisecracker, had an awful time keeping awake in class. For him school was a druclgery. A modern Huckleberry Fin' we might call him. Withal, howcver, he was a likeable fellow. We do not know his plans for the future, but this we do know, viz., that his ability to be cheerful under trying circumstances will help him over the tough spots in life. BEVERLY MAE GAULIN Bebs', St. Rose of Lima, York Success is the reward of hard labor! We have observed the daily application and concentration of Beverly for four years, and we christen her the model student. Be- sides, she found time to so manage the business end of our school paper as to put it on a paying basis. Like many good students, she likes sports and finds relaxation in them. Whatever your lifels ambition, we know that you will approach it with the same zest that you tackled school subiects. You will succeed. 97 foil Jdmwmmy, DOROTHY JANE GLADFELTER Dot St. Patricklv, York If 'cSmile and the world smiles with youf' has any ele- ment of truth in it, then Dot's whole life should be spent in the sunshine of smiles. Few people there are who possess such a likable combination of personal charm and good nature. Such, however, may be a detriment if used unwisely! A splendid worker for our school paper, a fine commercial student, Dot, we are sorry to lose you. JOHN HENRY DELLER Dell,' St. josejahfv, Dallastown John Henry saw the light of day the first day of the new year! Seeing the light in school subjects meant hard work for Dellg but he had that spirit that makes one stay at a problem until it is solved, just one of the many good reasons why schools are in existence. The training John received here should stand him in good stead for a successful and useful life. HELEN ELIZABETH HOUCK Lala St. Maryis, York Helen is another example of the proud scholastic ability our class possesses. Reserved and quiet by nature, she applied her energy to her studies. The result: Success! Helen is a good linguist, excelling in Latin and French. Her choice bit of friendship was reserved for Caddy. We say: Two of a kind make a perfect pair. School days are over, but 'LForsan et haec olim meminisse juvabit! 28 ..!4l'll'LLl!8l'f56ll y DOLORES ELIZABETH KELLY Klfellyj' St. Patrickjs, York Who could miss it? A real Irishman in name and char- acter. Dolores was valuable to our school in many ways, not the least of which was her interest in our Year Book and the part she filled as one of our admirable cheer- leaders. Scouting seems to hold her interest-now. One cannot help but succeed when Irish eyes are smilingf' May you smile always, Dolores! DEME ANTHONY EUCULANO 'fDeme St. Patrick's, York Deme is somewhat of an artist of persuasion, a faculty he exemplified on numerous occasions during our class meetings. Industrious and goodnatured, an able and dili- gent' student,-that is our recollection of Deme. We look for big things from you. For all the help and good example you gave us, Deme, we say, Bien Gratiaslu DOROTHY ELIZABETH LAITY Dots St. josephis, York Medium height, shining chestnut tresses, mischievous brown eyes, and a healthy laugh comprise the printer's portrait of Dots. Some say she is York's best volleyball player. At home in all sports, Dorothy was never more so in adding numbers to a basketball score. We remem- ber how she always stayed on the sunny side of the street and say: May you never cross over! 29 ..!gl'Ll'LLU9 FJHP? f0f!L .xgnlfziuelwary MARGARET ELIZABETH MCCLELLAN Peggy St. Rose of Lima, York Meet our artist of the typewriter keyboard! She is our speed typist who encompasses the keyboard with amaz- ing speed. She kept very much to herself, except for her constant companionship with Anna Shortino. We hope, Marg, that you and Anna will build your future homes side by side so that you may go through life unseparated. JAMES EDWARD GALLAGHER fini, St. Mary's, York James has always been more or less a puzzle to most of us, including his teachers. At times surprisingly serious, then mopy and disinterested. For all his good ancestry he should have been a leader of his class. Maturity and ex- perience will no doubt bring to light his latent ability. We hope you will be a successful engineer, both ma- terially and spiritually. Age quod agis. VIRGINIA MARYON MCEACHERN Njinnyj' St. Patrickk, York If we were asked to make a wish for Jinny, we could not do better than to hope that she may never lose her youthful enthusiasm which we knew so well. In stature she is a lady petite, in ability, average 5 in disposition, perfect. Recalling her dislike for Latin, we wonder how she got through that Latin speech in fourth year? Vale et tu prosperes! 30 LILY MARY PERSING f'Percy St. josephk, Dallastown Lily is a reserved and dignified little lady who came to us from Dallastown every morning in thc Dallastown Specialf,-when it arrived. All through the four years of school we admired her diligence and application to mas- ter school subjects, as well as her sincerity and amiable disposition,-virtues which won her many steadfast friends. We know you will make a splendid nurse, Lily. JOHN EDWARD HAA R.. johnny, St. Mary's, T011-: Webster's definition of a gentleman describes John exactly. Manly and upright, he was esteemed by all. He applied himself well to his studies and was a dependable student. Not given to loquaciousness he preferred the company of his own thoughts to those that are produc- tive of no good. Shall we say prudently wise! As you pro- ceed on the road of life may your thoughts of school days be happy ones. CATHERINE ROSALIA PRICE Caddy St. Maryiv, York Meet our double crowned champion! Athletically, she starred in basketball and won the Junior Women's Tennis Cup. Socially, she was a Ginger Rogers at tap dancing. Besides she won the approval of les filles de sa classe as referee in those memorable interclass games. Scholastically, she finished among the topnotchers. 31 f0f!L .xyrLnLuer5ary ANNA FRANCES REINEBERG FranU St. Maryjs, York Youthful, girlish, courteous and studious-that's Frances. It is remarkable how winning her perennial smile can be! To this add: She was very much a lady, a staunch class supporter, and you have a mental picture of our loyal classmate and true friend. Remember our class outing with Frances as hostess? Ah, sweet memory! GEORGE HENRY HOFFMAN 'fGeorge St. Rose of Lima, York Our George is a sedate, witty fellow, but never imperti- nent in his remarks. Scholastically he shunned the fount of wisdom for a liberal education in commercial subjects. Unruflied as he was, regardless of whatever impending doom, George placidly consumed his days with us. In future years we are sure he will give his best toward the achievement of his ambition. MARY ROSE ROONEY Snool-cy St. josephiv, York 'QA vivacious little lady,', all of us agree. Versatile in many things, we remember her best for her aptitude to make new friends while retaining old ones. She is the other half of the 'G Sonneteersf' Probably she will make history for she was the Hrst student of our high school to have a speech published in Latin. She spends her spare time browsing over scrap books, reading plays and novels, dreaming of the day when she will be an actress. Thanks for many pleasant memories. 32 foflt JQZWWMW JANE JULIA SHEELY Yarrow St. Marys, York Contrary to the familiar 'isilver spoon adage, Jane proved a happy exception and was born with a pen and sketch book in her agile hand. Glimpses of her master- pieces may be viewed in this volume. Her contributions to the Y. C. H. S. News received many favorable com- ments. Besides, Jane designs clothes and costumes. Shall we say she possesses a latent genius? ROBERT VINCENT KUHN Bob St. Patrick'5, York Robert, a good student and well mannered, graced the chair of class president with dignity and sound judg- ment. He was active in many school projects, e. g., our Mission Unit, Year Book staff, sports and boy scouting. For him study was a serious business, and life not a time to be frittered away in useless dreaming. Somewhere in the distant future you will reap the benefit of the harvest sown here. Vale! MARY PATRICIA SIMMONS Pat St. Rose of Lima, Tork Patricia is a living exemplification of the adage, '!Music hath charm, for never have we seen a more ardent student of music and a more charming girl! The mere mention of such words as 6'Nino Martinif, Toscanini, impresario, or opera,', and you have touched Pat's heart strings. Precocious, indeed! Always a lady in speech and conduct, she added poise and balance to our class. We sincerely hope that the symphony of your life will be a harmonious one. Adios, Sefiorita! 33 .!4l'LVLLl!9I'5H,I y ANNA LUCY SHORTINO Anne i St. Rose of Lima, York Looking back over the time we spent with Anna we feel that somehow she added that something to our class that, if lacking, would have been missed greatly. Her chief characteristic was her willingness to accommodate her- self to all circumstances. Nothing was ever too small or too diflicult for her to solve, whether it was a classroom boner or a schoolmate's plight. In the traditional Italian, we say: Caro Nomef' ROLAND JOSEPH PAGE Page,' St. Rose of Lima, York . . . And Sir Roland from the dark tower cameli' to quote the poet Browning. Similarly, Roland came to us out of the darkness of New York state, not as a sir, how- ever, but very much a diminutive boy. Like all real boys, he competed in all sports and found pleasure and relaxation in them, but he never really grew up to make the varsity squad in basketball. Nevertheless, he received a varsity letter for his four years of trying. Good-bye, Sonny Boy! We'll miss you. MARY FRANCES SLONAKER Fran'1 St. Maryls, York Versatile and vivacious are only two of the many adjectives we could use to describe Frances. Popular with all, she further won our admiration by her worthy en- deavors in basketball and tennis. Dancing to swing musici' was her hobby. Play the game of life with the same skill you displayed in sports, Fran, and you cannot lose. - 34 l fOfA, .xgnnruemary MURIEL ROSE SHUMAN Maud St. Marys, York Blessed with a quiet disposition and a dry sense of humor, Muriel succeeds so well in getting others to listen to her that they even do her reading! Her chief interest is music. She is quite an accomplished pianist and harpist. May the music masters help you to see the beauties in life and enjoy them with your members of the 3F Club. GEORGE HENRY REINEBERG Tumsi' St. Maryjs, York It seems that George was more interested in such avoca- tions as scouting, camping and hunting than he was in school subjects. Somewhat self-opinionated, with a lean- ing toward pleasure before study, George nevertheless got by the committee on graduation requirements. He was a valuable member of our orchestra. Now that school days are over we can picture George giving a great sigh of relief. Put business before pleasure and you will be successful! MONICA ELIZABETH THOMAS Monk', St. Rose of Lima, York Class discussions, Mission Unit activities, theatrical parts, and the making of friendships seemed to occupy the at- tention of Monica while with us. Rumor has it that we are to have another nurse from among our graduates! We wish you success, Monica, and remember always to keep your chin up. 35 .!4l'Ll'LLU8l 5dl y ANNA MARIE WERNER Anne St. Rose of Lima, York Twins can sometimes be just as annoying to a teacher as they are interesting. Anne and Pat, twins not by nature but by chance arrangement, were a thorn in the side of more than one teacher. Possessed of average scholastic ability, a pleasant smile, and a warm friendship for her associates,-that is how we shall remember Anne. She should make an excellent nurse. ALBERT JOSEPH RYER Alu St. joseplfs, Dallastown Give a man a pipe and a dog, and he is among friends! Though we cannot vouch for the canine factor, yet, for the two years we knew Albert he was never without his pipe. Non est fumenduml' held no fears for him. Dallastown will not be too far away to continue the friendships you made while here. Let's shake, pal. VIRGINIA ELLA WAGMAN Ujinnieu St. 705eph's, Dallastown Our Jinnie is an unforgettable personality. We admire her for her perpetual smile ta nice one tooj, her willing- ness to co-operate in all undertakings, and her comical impersonations. She gives good promise of becoming a great actress, an ambition we hope she realizes. Thank you, Dallastown, for your very valuable contribution to our class of notablesl 36 ..!4l'Ll'LLl!9l 56LI'y EUGENE RICHARD STAAB Gene St. Ma1y's, York Gene carved a niche for himself in our hall of sports fame that will be hard to equal. Having played varsity basketball four years, and end on our Hrst football team, Gene was the first athlete of our school to be awarded five varsity letters. Though usually quiet and reserved, yet he had a lively sense of humor. We will be looking for his name in the headlines of La Salle's sports where he has been awarded an athletic scholarship. PAUL JOSEPH STAHLE Paul St. Rose of Lima, York Paul interrupted his school days for a fling at the world, discovered that something was lacking 5 returned to us a Junior, and now returns to the world well equipped to assume a responsible position in the business world. We recognized and admired his leadership in class activities, and here give expression of our grateful thanks for the very excellent work he had done on our Year Book. Thanks, Paul. Through your efforts this book became possible. NORBERT JEROME WAGMAN .N'orbv St. joseplfs, Dallastown Meet the motorman of the Dallastown Specialla' A reliable and cool-headed man at the controls, Norb usu- ally brought his Special in on time, provided thc weather was above zero and the tires held up. Norbert was our silent partner, maybe too silent on some occa- sions. Having plugged along four years, he now receives his coveted prize, a diploma. Our sincere congratulations go with it, and we wish you a full share of success. 3 7 f0fA .fgrLnLuer5ary JAMES JOSEPH WELSH jim St. fosephis, 1' ork A rather reticent fellow, Jim, but friendly and likeable. From boy scout to high school graduate he always com- ported himself gentlemanly and was a real asset to both. His healthy outlook on life and his pleasant disposition ought to make him a valuable member to his Church and community. We'll be seein' you, Jim, frequently at our class gatherings and Alumni meetings. RAYMOND ALBERT WOLF Ray St. Rose of Lima, York Like his constant pal and close friend Paul, Ray returned to our school after a stretch in the C. M. T. C. His descriptions of military life on occasion left us wonder- ing, Where's Elmer? He prided himself on his knowl- edge of horse-racing, but never placed a bet, we are told. Well, a bird in the hand-you know! Don't be afraid to face lifels problems, Ray, but attack them with that confidence you learned here. CLASS OFFICERS Preszdent ............................

By the united effort of the entire student-body, we have reached our goal of annually rais- fOLlA, .xyfnniuerdary ing 8100.00 to defray the expenses of edu- rating our adopted Chinese seminarian for the holy priesthood. The ofhcers of the Unit wish to thank most gratefully the Sisters and pupils who have helped them in this work that was so dear to the heart of our late and beloved Holy Father, Pope Pius XI. The Mission Unit, established in 1936 for the primary purpose of inculcating in our pupils a loye of the foreign missions, sponsored various activities during the year. Through its departments, which functioned energetically, our pupils were made mis- sion-minded.

This is an honor of which we are fully aware and justly proud. For in dedicating this volume to Father Schweich we are paying tribute to the memory of him who cleared the bar- riers for the foundation of our high school. As in most instances, one reaps where another has sown, so too can it be said that we students of today are reaping the bene- fits of the arduous labor and self-sacrifice contributed by Father Schweich toward the establishment of our school. He was foremost in the movement to found a central Catholic High School for the Catholic youth of York. By his seemingly unlimited capacity for work, his priestly zeal, and his appreciation of the advantages of Catholic Education for youth, he, as much as our founder, was responsible for our school's humble beginning. Born of good and pious Austrian- German parents in Locust Gap, Pa., he early in life showed those characteristics of devotedness to work and fidelity of purpose that were so outstanding while serving in the dual capacity of assistant to St. Mary's Church and Principal of the high school. Having completed his elementary education in the parochial school of Locust Gap, he was admitted to St. Charles Borromeo Seminary, Philadelphia, Pa., where he pur- sued his studies for the holy priesthood. He was ordained on June Io, 1922, in St. fOfA, .xdnniuemary Patrick,s Cathedral, Harrisburg, Pa., by the late Most Reverend Philip R. McDevitt, D.D. His first and only appointment as assist- ant was to St. Mary,s Parish, York, where he remained until Dec. 1, 1932, at which time he was appointed to the first Catholic Chaplaincy of the Northeast Federal Peni- tentiary, Lewisburg, Pa. In May of 1938 he received his first appointment as pastor in charge of Sacred Heart Church, Lewis- town, Pa. He remained there but a few months. In February of 1939 he succeeded to the pastorship of St. Josephfs Parish, Lancaster, Pa., where he is now stationed. While in York Father Schweichis days were literally filled with endless activity both for the welfare of the church and school. Keenly cognizant of the poten- tialities of the Catholic Youth Movement he took up the work of organizing youth programs with a zeal and a determination that signalizes the true disciple of the Lord. The founding of our high school received his particular attention. Appointed first Principal by the Board of Directors, he en- tered upon his duties in such wise that the school began to progress immediately. Under his supervision the high school made such progress as to attract students not only from the city, but likewise from the neigh- boring towns and villages. His work was that of fashioning the groundwork of an educational system, of building the curric- ulum, of financing, and of supplying certi- fied teachers, all of which Father Schweich accomplished with a remarkable degree of success. 52 The termination of his office as Principal was an occasion of sadness and regret. The many students and Sisters with whom he was associated had come to look upon him as an indispensable official of their school. No activity, curricular or otherwise, was complete without Father Schweichis guid- ing hand and sound judgment. But, in this as in many similar instances, Man pro- poses and God disposesf' As the philosopher has put it, S' The cords that bind us to one another are loosened one by one, to be Our cfgfftmni HE theme of this volume is progress. In keeping with that theme, it is worthy of note that for each one of the members of the Class of 1939 there are some ten alumni members. Stemming from that day in June, 1929, when three young people received the first diplomas from the York Catholic High School, the parade of graduates has continued through the years. By virtue of their graduation they be- came alumni. Technically, that was their status. But, until four years ago-in June, 1935-the alumni of the new high school had no organized interest in the future of the institution which had sent them out into the world. The individual classes met among themselves, had reunions and kept some semblance of unity. But there was no concerted action, no central organization. Then, when the school had reached the age of six years and the number of her alumni was steadily increasing, the Rev- erend Father Brady, entering upon his fourth year as principal, began to lay the groundwork for the formation of an Alum- ni Association. With definite organization in view, Fa- 53 caught up by unseen hands and fastened elsewheref' Though seven years have passed since his leaving, Father Schweich,s memory is still revered, due largely to his intimate connection with our high school and the interest he continues to show in all its activities. In grateful memory of his labors we in- scribe this volume. We pray that God may continue to bless his present work with the same abundance of success that was so evi- dent while he labored amongst us. Moda fiom ther Brady called a general convention of alumni of the York Catholic High School in the High School auditorium on June 16, 1935. Rules and by-laws were formulated at this first combined meeting of graduates, and members voted in representative of- ficers to serve the organization for the first year of its existence. Heading this board of executive ofhcers was Mr. Philip Thieling who, as president, assumed the responsi- bility of getting the newly-organized asso- ciation under way. Addressing the assemblage of former students of his High School, the Reverend Father Brady outlined in detail the aims and objectives he hoped the organization would achieve. Specifically, the Alumni were to band together for the common pro- motion of a four-point program: social, intellectual and spiritual welfare of the present students of the York Catholic High School and the extension of financial aid to their Alma Mater. The Alumni Association grew steadily in strength and numbers. Credit for keeping it a vital factor in local educational circles must go to Miss Teresa Smith, our first able f0fA. .xgnniuemary and efficient secretary. During her one and one-half years of service, the organization sponsored several public lectures. Speakers heard on these programs included Father Hubbard, S. J., the celebrated Glacier Priest ng Miss Anna Dill Gamble, Rev. Harold E. Keller, A. M., and Rev. George J. Breckel. Each year, members of the Association hold a Communion Breakfast, at which spe- cial guest speakers are featured. Through the aid of the Alumni Associa- tion, the York Catholic High School has rounded out the work of organizing all de- partments, both curricular and extra-cur- ricular, which go to make up the complete, modern high school. And now, marking the tenth anniversary of the high school, the Alumni Association enters upon its fifth year of existence with Guy Kuhn as its president and ably served by the following associate ofiicers: Miss .AVL ,!4CC8l'Lf 0lfL MERICANISMQ' was the prompt, though unexpected, reply of a group of American allies when questioned concerning their religion. When we consider that this statement was made by French soldiers who cherished their religion above all other institutions we may begin to realize the universal significance of this newly adopted form of government. When this statement was made, our new Nation was but a few years old and the Constitution had not yet been devised, but already France was looking hopefully to her ally across the ocean for help in the realiza- tion of her own dreams of liberty.

The graduating class of ,39 extends its deepest heartfelt congratulations and hopes for future success to both the former oiiicers of the Association and the present incum- bents. May the present and future members of this vital organization fully realize the bene- fits to be derived from active participation in the promotion of its aims and purposes. May they also realize the spiritual and moral aid to be drawn from membership in such a body. May they be ever conscious of the fact that they are, by being members of a Catholic Alumni Association, making a strong bid for the triumph of the Church Militant. mericcmbm appeared as a new-born Utopia,-the ris- ing sun on the horizon of a new form of government that was to stand for freedom and democracy. And thus it has always been. Ever since Ponce de Leon exploited his pet theory con- cerning the whereabouts of the legendary fountain of youth, people of all nations have turned expectant eyes upon the rap- idly growing Western Hemisphere. In the days of the illustrious past, the name of America was synonymous with tales of buried treasure and Indian lore. The am- bitious and adventurous rushed Westward, dreaming of a milk-and-honey land over- flowing with gold. All this is now the past chapter in the epic of a glorious country, 54 but America continues to be the land of golden opportunity. Nations throughout the world still look to America as to a source of untold resources, a symbol of the highest ideals of Justice and Liberty. There lies with every citizen of our coun- try a heavy responsibility that must of ne- cessity accompany the great privilege of American citizenship. But for us Catholics there is an even greater responsibility to protect those principles which are a part of our very religion. Despite her comparative youth, America usually holds the spotlight of the world. Hesitant nations look to her for guidance. Her decisions have often determined the actions of foreign powers and influenced the history of the world. The principles of Americanism, once defeated, would spell the downfall of all democracies. The inheritance of more than a century's toiling, fighting, and building is our native birthright. If we are to continue enjoying the blessings of a free country, we must ever unite against pretentious ismsf' and false innovations. The rest of the right- thinking world depends largely upon us to keep the world safe for democracy. With such valiant and heroic forefathers as a background we cannot betray the trust which other nations confide to us. The ap- preciation and preservation of the lofty ideals of Democracy for all posterity is our duty,-for in this is constituted true Ameri- canism. WRITTEN ON MY BIER They say I'm dead, they mourn and pity me: And while they mourn they dread that they must go, Perhaps not nowg but oh! so presently, The way that goes but to and never fro. They look at me upon my funeral bier And each must say within his secret heart: Soon I'll be dead and like him lying here! ', And so acknowledge life and they must part. Why do you living beings dread your death? I've died, and found it not so hard to die, But standing by my side your every breath Appears to be a mournful little sigh. And then I smile and make reply for you, I know, you don't, what happens when Life's through!

Catholics and Protestants alike respect our school and are cognizant of its worth to our community. By its program of Catholic Education, it has striven to preserve for God and Country a generation of Catholic- minded youth. Guided by unselfish Priests and Sisters, it has, in a comparatively short time, accomplished much that is of vital importance to our Church and society. The Catholic High School was founded in 1927 by Rev. George Breckel as a means of furnishing Catholic Secondary Education for the youth of St. Mary's Par- ish, and for those of other parishes of the city who sought admission. Dr. P. J. Pentz, of the Bureau of Credentials of the Depart- ment of Public Instruction at Harrisburg, visited the school and inspected the courses and the building. On April 6, 1929, Rev. Harold E. Keller, the Diocesan Superin- tendent of Schools, was notified that the school had been placed on the list of ap- proved educational institutions under the title, York Catholic High Schoolf, Rev. Joseph Schweich was appointed Hrst principal of the school by Father Breckel. Under his supervision and that of Father Keller and Sr. Frumentia, O. S. F., the school began to flourish immediately. To these leaders was entrusted the task of providing for the infant school the neces- sary means of Catholic Education. On May 10156 .xgnniuemarg ro, 1929, the first class, consisting of three members, was graduated, and in 1930 and 1931, classes of ten and eleven members respectively were graduated. At the end of the school term of 1931, Sister Frumentia, who had served for many years as a teacher in St. Mary's Parochial School and in the High School, was trans- ferred to the West Philadelphia Catholic High School for Girls. She was, in conjunc- tion with others, largely responsible for the growth of Catholic Secondary Education in York. Sister Ermelina succeeded to the po- sition of advisor to the principal and Pre- fect of studies. During her term of oHice, which lasted six years, the school progressed rapidly. Much of the success we enjoy to- day is traceable to her untiring eHorts and unstinted work, the fruit of long years of service in Catholic Educational fields. For three years this parish high school served the needs of the time, but it soon became evident that to accommodate the rapidly increasing number of students, a Central High School would be necessary. Accordingly, in 1931, requested by the late Bishop of Harrisburg, the Most Reverend Philip R. McDevitt, D. D., the pastors of York and Dallastown met to make plans for the establishment of a Central High School. They agreed to use St. Maryis parochial school building as temporary quarters and to establish a fund for the erection of a separate high school building in the near future. With the opening of the school year on 56 September 2, 1931, a Solemn High Mass was offered in St. Mary's Church to invoke Godis blessing upon the newly centralized high school. The priests from all five par- ishes were present, manifesting the spirit of unity which existed in the new school. On December 1, I932, Father Schweich, the principal of the school, was transferred to the Lewisburg Penitentiary, where he was to serve as chaplain. His loss was felt by all. The work he had done in organizing the school will ever stand as a memorial of his priestly zeal. Rev. Carl B. Brady was appointed Father Schweich's successor, and at once he proved wholeheartedly inter- ested in the school and its welfare. The specialized work of completing the educa- tional edifice, of organization of depart- ments, of broadening the curriculum and courses of study, of finances, of supervision and administration,-such were the prob- lems facing the new principal, Father Brady. With the end of the 1934 school term there began a highly commendable custom of an annual retreat for the entire student body. Since 1931 retreats had been given for the senior classes only, but now the en- tire student body is allowed to share in the three days of spiritual exercises. In the fall of 1934 the regulation of of- ficial school uniforms to be worn by the girls was introduced as a means to eliminate useless and jealous competition in dress and to foster a love for decency and chastity in apparel. It consists of a navy blue jumper, bearing the high school letters, a white blouse, and a black string tie. On June 16, 1935, the Alumni Associa- tion was founded. Its main purposes were to continue the associations which students formed in school, to provide for the social, intellectual and spiritual welfare of the present students, and to render financial aid to the Alma Mater. Since its organiza- 57 tion this valuable society has sponsored so- cial affairs and lectures and has become afiiliated with the International Federation of Catholic Alumnae. For four years the society has held an annual Communion Breakfast. I York Catholic High School has main- tained a basketball team since its founda- tion. In the fall of 1935 an offer was accepted for admission into the York County Scholastic League. In this way the high school team is given more recognition in sports and has a chance to compete for the athletic awards given at the close of each season. The students of York Catholic High School have for a long time received com- mendation for their dramatic ability. Senior class plays such as: 'L The Initiation,', Mummy and the Mumpsf, Princess Callahan, The H a u n t e d House,', Jonesy, a Prince of a Man U and The Ghost Bird, not only provided splendid entertainment, but were financial successes as well. However, in 1935 and 1936 the entire school combined its efforts to make the musical comedies, U College Days U and Rosalie Runs Riot ', what proved to be the climax of the school's entertainment. In 1936 the first Year Book was pub- lished by the Senior Class. This edition, which was named Rosa Mysticaf, set a worthy precedent for the future classes. In October, 1938, Volume III was awarded the rating All Catholic in the annual survey conducted by the Catholic School Press Association at the Marquette Univer- sity College of Journalism. In the fall of 1937 the High School was pleased to welcome back as a member of the faculty, Sr. Frumentia who had done so much for the development of the school. The school term 1938-1939 deserves a mention in the history of the school because it marked the introduction of football into f01fA .xdnniuerfiarg the sports calendar. The new Catholic High Eleven gained fair results considering their inexperience against teams of long stand- ing. Equally creditable' was the establish- ment of a high school newspaper, The York Catholic High School News? This monthly publication gives literary-inclined students an opportunity to develop their journalistic talent. The Senior Class of 1939 composed of fifty members is the largest class ever to be graduated. In commemoration of the tenth anniversary of the graduation of the first class in 1929, the Class of ' 39 published the fourth volume of the Year Book, Rosa Mystica,', and dedicated it to all the grad- uates and Father Schweich. Today the school is striving to give its students all the modern advantages of edu- cation, both intellectually and physically. It offers four courses ofEtIHyT the Clas- sical, Scientific, Commercial and General. The high school is fully accredited by the State Department of Public Instruction, and is a member of the Catholic Education Association of the State of Pennsylvania. Its competent faculty is staffed by Rev. Carl B. Brady, who serves as Principal, and eight Sisters of the Third Order of St. Francis, viz. :-Sr. F rumentia, Sr. Numilla, Sr. Jeanne Marie, Sr. Sophia, Sr. Walter, Sr. Georgiana, Sr. Edwardine and Sr. Anita. Mr. Roman Shuman serves as mu- sical instructor in orchestral work and choral singing. William W. Wogan, Esq., is the instructor of Physical Education and Coach of Athletics for boys, and Miss Anna Mary Shue instructs the girls in Physical Education. The strides which the school has made within the decade of its existence are well exemplified in the position of its Alumni to- day. An excellent percentage of its 278 graduates represent the school in various f0IfA .xgnniuerfsary schools of higher learning and in several professional fields. The number of graduates who have com- pleted courses of study in colleges and uni- versities of higher learning is nine. This number is divided according to the follow- ing professions:-four teachers, one dentist, one embalmer, one engineer, one chiropo- dist and one chiropractor. Nine other stu- dents have attended colleges, but have had only part courses. In the field of professional nursing the school is represented by eight graduate nurses, eight at present pursuing courses in the profession. Fourteen students have graduated from Business Colleges, and there are five alumni now studying in Busi- ness Schools. Two have completed courses in Beauty Culture. Religious vocations, also, have a ine representation among the members of the school's alumni. Six are studying for the Holy Priesthood and four 'have entered Religious Orders for Women. May these laborers in the Vineyard of Christ receive God's Grace plenteously! From such a humble beginning, it is somewhat incredulous to believe that any institution could have made such progress in ten years, or that it could have increased its enrollment from 65 in 1929 to an ex- pected enrollment of over 300 in the fall of 1939. This exceptional record of the schoolis growth really shows ten years of progress. With this brief survey of the history and accomplishments of the York Catholic High School in one decade, it is obvious that it will progress by even greater strides in the years to come. May God bless the efforts of its benefactors with abundant fruit, and may Mary Immaculate, the Patroness of the high school, guide it to the ultimate ful- fillment of its aims and objectives as a home of Catholic Education. 58 Coamogc Mr in fAe.American Euoffalfiolfz, CATHERINE ECK, Class of 1939 HE part that the Catholics of Amer- ica had in the Revolutionary War is known to few. Even less known is the part that the Catholics of York had in this struggle for independence. The attitude toward Catholics in the Thirteen Original Colonies before the Rev- olution was one of intolerance, but in Penn- sylvania their position was somewhat better. Here the Catholic Immigrants, being very numerous and influential, were able to se- cure a measure of toleration but no liberty of faith. However, with the passage of the oppressing measures of George III, the struggle for independence brought about extraordinary changes in the position of the Catholics. People began to look upon their Catholic fellow-citizens, who espoused the cause of independence with striking wholeheartedness, in a somewhat different light. The necessity of presenting a united front to the coming danger brought about a kindlier spirit, while common interests and common hardships called forth a spirit of tolerance as the people largely began to forget differences and jealousies which had previously prevailed toward the Catholics. The first Catholics in York can be traced to a band of Irish who had migrated to Philadelphia as a result of the unjust laws in Ireland affecting Catholics and Dis- senters. Some of these pushed further west from Philadelphia to Lancaster County. These Irish, along with a remnant of Aca- dians in that county and Germans from Germantown, drifted to York and formed the Catholic population here. York, at the time of the Revolution, was a town of fifteen hundred inhabitants. St. Patrickis, its one Catholic Church, was 59 founded about 1750 and was attended by missionaries from Baltimore, Conewago, The Mother Parish of Pennsylvania, and Emmitsburg, but there are no real records of the parish until 1776, when the heirs of Casper Stillinger presented a house and lot to the members of the congregation for their use. This building served the needs of the parish for a time. In 1809 a new church was built and the cornerstone was laid by Father De Barth-Walbach. Soon after, the first permanent rector made his advent in the person of Rev. Lawrence. In the ensu- ing pastorates significant improvements were made and in 1851 the first parochial school was opened by Father Martin. The present church was begun in 1895 and was completed three years later. Father De Barth-Walbach, who laid the cornerstone for the second building of St. Patrick's Church, was important in local history. Born in Munster in 1764, he be- came a great American missionary in Penn- sylvania. Scarcity of priests as well as his own talents and adaptability would not permit this brilliant missionary to remain long in one obscure station in the wilder- ness. He was at one time sent to Conewago, then to Carlisle, and then he came to St. Patrick's Church of York. Upon the death of Bishop Egan he refused the Bishopric, feeling he was not capable to assume the responsibilities in the troublous times through which the Church in Philadelphia was passing. His later arduous and zealous labors were mostly centered in and about Baltimore. He died at the University of Georgetown on October 13, 1844, and the marble stone commemorating his life's work is one of the most valued possessions of the f0LLA, ,xgnniuemary American Catholic Historical Society of Philadelphia. In the fall of the year 1777, General Howe was reported to be advancing toward Philadelphia, which was then the capital of the thirteen Colonies. With the news of the defeat of Washington in the Battle of Brandywine, Congress no longer felt safe in the City of Brotherly Love, and speedily adjourned to meet in Lancaster. To avoid being captured by the British, the Govern- ment documents and small amount of money in the Treasury were sent to Lan- caster on wagons carefully guarded by two regiments of troops. The members of Con- gress themselves started on horseback for Bethlehem, where they spent Sunday, and on the following day proceeded toward Lancaster. Only one dayis session was held in Lancaster, when it was decided that the Susquehanna should fiow between Congress and the enemy? Congress, there- fore, adjourned to York. The period during which York harbored the Continental Congress was one of the most trying in the history of our country, and one in which the Catholics most con- spicuously figured. Here, Henry Laurens was elected to succeed Hancock as Presi- dent of the Congress, the welcome news of Burgoyne's surrender at Saratoga was re- ceived, Simeon Deane brought the an- nouncement of the French Alliance, and many distinguished Catholic noblemen were received. Soon after the convening of Congress in York, a notable group of French Catholic ofiicers came to America to rally around the Commander-in-Chief. Among the most famous were Marquis de Lafayette, today the most popular of foreign officers who aided in the Revolution, Marquis de la Rourerie QArmandj, Marquis de Fleury and the Chevalier Mauduit du Plessis. Francois-Louis-Tesseydre M a r q u i s de l f0fA .x41fLl'Liuer5ary Fleury was in his twenty-eighth year when he first came to America. He immediately distinguished himself by his valor and was made captain and then major within the first four months of service. The most signal exploit of de Fleury was scaling the ram- parts of the British fort at Stony Point on the Hudson in 1779 and tearing down the flag, for which Congress gave him a medal on a band cut from the captured flag. After a furlough in France, where he was deco- rated with the Cross of St. Louis, he came back with Rochambeau and took part in the siege of Yorktown. On November 17, 1777, the Continental Congress made Louis Lebegue Duportail a Brigadier General and his assistants, Mar- quis de Laumoy and dela Radiere, Colonels, and Marquis de Gouvion, Lieutenant- Colonel. These four Catholics had come to America in answer to Washington's appeal to the French King through Franklin for Engineers, not exceeding four. During the wretched winter of 1778 they turned their attention to making the army safe at Valley Forge, and with Washington's co- operation the natural advantage of the situation was put to such account that no attempt was ever made by the enemy in Philadelphia to dislodge the colonial troops. Baron Von Steuben, the distinguished German officer, came to York in February, 1778. He was enthusiastically received by Congress and the officers of the army. Ac- companying him was Duponceau, the learned French Catholic, who served as his secretary and interpreter. He later pub- lished a description of their trip from Bos- ton to York. Duponceau gave us also an account of Von Steuben's request for com- missions for French officers under his com- mand. This request provided for the appointment of Mr. De Romanai as a ma- jor and aide-de-camp, the position of cap- tain of engineers for Mr. De L'Enfant, that 60 of captain of cavalry for Mr. De Depon- tiere, and the rank of captain for his secre- tary, Mr. Duponceaug and that if these terms were agreeable to Congress, he waited for their orders to join the army without delay. This proposition was unani- mously accepted and soon afterwards he proceeded to Valley Forge, where he began strict training and discipline for the cam- paign of 1778. The service of Pierre-Charles L'Enfant did not pertain to military affairs alone, but also to the construction and plan of our National Capital. As a young officer, L'Enfant joined the volunteers sent in 1 777 by Silas Deane and Beaumarchais from France. He was soon made a Captain and later a Major and served through the whole war, was wounded at Savannah, taken prisoner at Charleston, and after the Revo- lution remained here as an American citi- zen. It was he who reconstructed the City Hall in New York for the advent of the first President and a Senate Chamber in Phila- delphia. In March, 1791, he was chosen by Washington to draw up the plan of the National Capital. He was not permitted to finish his work because of misunderstand- ings and jealousies which arose. Since then it has cost our country a hundred million dollars or more to restore in part his orig- inal plan. His last days were spent with the Catholic Digges family and today he is buried on the heights of Arlington over- looking the city he planned. Another officer whose services were en- dorsed by Baron Steuben, was Captain Landais, of the French navy, who appeared in York before the Marine Committee of Congress shortly after the visit of Von Steuben. He had succeeded in quelling a mutiny on board the vessel Flammand and brought the ship safely into an American port. For this service he was voted a sum of money and received the rank of Captain 61 in the American Navy. During the months that Congress was in session in our city, we received our most important promise of help from abroad. Previously Benjamin Franklin, Arthur Lee and Silas Deane, a Catholic, had been sent as a commission to France to solicit aid from that country, and had succeeded in their mission. At this time there were no cables across the Atlantic. Even steamships did not plough the ocean yet for half a century. It was desired to send the news of the Alliance and Treaty of Amity and Commerce to America with all possible speed. Vergennes, the French Minister, ordered that the swift sailing vessel, Mer- cury, be placed at Franklin's disposal. Simeon Deane, a young American then in Paris, and brother of the Catholic Com- missioner, was entrusted with this impor- tant mission. He received the document signed by the King of France, and with a letter addressed to Congress from Benjamin Franklin and Silas Deane, left the port of Havre and steered for Portsmouth, New Hampshire. After a passage of two months he arrived there. Reaching Boston, he called upon john Hancock and then pro- ceeded on horseback, crossing the Hudson River at Fishkill, New York. He reached Valley Forge on the evening of April 30. After holding a conference of one day with George Washington, he proceeded on his way westward, crossing the Susquehanna at Wrightjs Ferry and arriving in York at 3 P. M. in the afternoon of May 2. This day was Saturday, and Congress had adjourned for the week. Immediately, at the southeast corner of George Street and Center Square, Martin Brenise rang the bell in the cupola of the Court House to call Congress together. There was great re- joicing among the delegates and the people of the town, for the arrival of this news meant even more than the decisive victory f0fA .xynniuer5ar9 of the Americans at Saratoga and the sur- render of Burgoyne. On Monday, May 4, the treaty of Amity and Commerce and the treaty of Alliance were unanimously adopted by Congress and a committee ap- pointed to prepare a form of ratification of the treaties. Simeon Deane was voted a sum of money in consideration of his faithful execution of a most important trust reposed in him by the commissioners of the United States. Another important event which occurred during the assembly of Congress at York was the Conway Cabal. The occasion of this event was the defeat of Burgoyne at Saratoga, October 17, 1777, which seemed to have fired the ambition of conspirators. These hostile and jealous enemies of Wash- ington lost no time in pouncing upon the victory as a great credit to Gates and as a weapon against Washington. It was only through the efforts of two Catholics, Charles Carroll and Marquis de Lafayette, that the sterling reputation of Washington was preserved. A On June 20, news was received by Con- gress that the British Army, then under Sir Henry Clinton, had evacuated the city of Philadelphia. Therefore, Congress adopted the following resolution on June 27, 1778: That Congress adjourn until Tuesday next to meet at the statehouse in Phila- delphiaf' About a year after the adjournment of Congress from York, Pulaski's Legion, a body of mounted lancers and infantry, was quartered in that city during March and April of 1779, after leaving the winter en- Campment in New Jersey. These troops were commanded by Count Casimir Pu- laski, a Polish Catholic of great distinction. Born in Poland in 1748, he was reared for the bar and received his military training as a youth in the guard of Charles, Duke of Courland. Pulaski was one of those, who, f .fgnniuelwary under the leadership of his father, formed on February 29, 1768, the Confederation of the Bar, to free Poland from Russia. During the years 1768-1772, he led many attacks of the Polish patriots against Russia, and when he was convicted of treason fmany modern historians hold him guilt- lessj and outlawed for complicity in the plot to seize and carry off King Stanislaus, he fled in 1772 to Turkey and later to France. While in France, he offered his services to Franklin. Soon afterwards he sailed for Philadelphia and became an aide on the staff of General Washington, with the rank of Colonel. For his display of military genius, he was commissioned as a brigadier- general and placed in the battle of German- town where he engaged in operations under General Wayne during the winter of 1777- 78. Later he resigned his command and was assigned special duty at Valley Forge, where he aided in organizing the undisci- plined troops. In February, 1 779, while on a march south, he rendezvoused his Legion at York, encamping on the Public Com- mon. In April Pulaski left York and bega11 the march to South Carolina, arriving at Charleston in May. During the siege of Sa- vannah, Pulaski commanded both the American and French Cavalry, and it was at this assault, on October 9, that he was seriously wounded. He was taken to the brig Wasp, an American vessel, where he died and his remains were dropped in the ocean. Of all the foreign officers who gave their aid to the American Colonies, Casimir Pu- laski was one of the finest. His ten years experience in military tactics made him in- dispensable. On May II, 1910, by order of Congress, a monument was unveiled at Washington to the memory of this great Catholic. A few years later, another famous legion A 62 came to York. It was Armand's Legion which was quartered here from December 25, 1782 to November, 1783. The com- mander was a French Catholic soldier who had served ten years in the Guarde du Corps of Paris. He came to America, vol- unteered in the cause of the Revolution, and was commissioned on May Io, 1777, by Congress as a Colonel under the name of Charles Armand, concealing his rank of Marquis de la Rourerie. His command was incorporated with Pulaski's and both par- ticipated in the southern campaign under Gates, whom he severely criticized for his inefficiency at the battle of Camden. That spring Armand went to France to procure clothing and provisions for his Legion, re- turning in time to take part in the Battle of Yorktown and the surrender of Cornwallis on October 19, 1781. After the surrender of Lord Cornwallis at Yorktown, Armand's Legion was ordered to report to General Greene in the South, and in December, 1782, he came from Vir- ginia to York. While here, he met Colonel Thomas Hartley, with whom part of his Legion had served in the expedition against the hostile Indians in northern Pennsyl- vania and southern New York. Colonel Armand remained with his Legion for a period of eleven months, before his depar- ture in November, 1783, he was given an appropriate farewell. Colonel Armand was a spirited officer and did good service throughout the war. Of his later life, little is known. Some au- thorities record the fact that he was guillo- tined during the French Revolution, while others contend that he escaped the Terror and fled to Philadelphia until the Revolu- tion in France had ended, and then entered the Trappist Order and became a priest. A Catholic of York County who was an important personage, though not as inti- mately connected with the American Revo- 63 lution, was the Baron de Beelen-Bertholff. Descended from one of the patrician fami- lies of Austrian Netherlands, he was promi- nent in court circles and qualified for many responsible positions in the service of Maria Theresa. Upon the death of his father, who held a high position in the government, Beelen-Bertholff became hereditary baron and seigneur of Overhem, Opvelt, Nerrvelp and Willebringen. In 1780 Maria Theresa died, and the control of the hereditary domains of the Hapsburgs passed to her son, the Emperor Joseph II. The new ruler had far-reaching plans and he resolved to negotiate a com- mercial treaty with the United States to find a market for the goods of his country. Baron de Beelen-Bertholff applied for the position as a commercial agent for his coun- try and America, and in February, 1783, he was commissioned by the government and designated S' Counsellor of Commerce and Navigation to His Sacred Imperial and Royal Apostolic Majesty. Baron de Beelen-Bertholff's work as Commercial Agent was of as much benefit to America as to the country which he was serving-if not more. All the states of the empire under Emperor Joseph's sway, in- cluding Belgium, Germany, Italy, Hungary and Bohemia, opened business relations with America. Our Hrms exported furs, rice, tobacco, raw sugar, turpentine, wood and several cereal grains to these countries. Indeed the Baronls work might well be re- ferred to as the beginning of Americais important foreign trade. In February, 1790, Joseph II died, and his brother, Leopold II, became emperor. He recalled the Baron from his duties as Commercial Agent on the ground that the mission was too expensive. Beelen-Bertholff was granted a pension for his services, and due to the French Revolution he decided to remain in America. f0fA .jdnniuemary Early in 1798 he moved to one of his properties, which, according to Lewis Millerfs N Chronic,', would probably be at or about 5 34 West Market Street in the city of York. Previous to this he had lived in Philadelphia and Lancaster County, where he established his famous botanical gardens for which he won membership in the American Philosophical Society. While he was living in York, St. Patrickis Church had as yet no stated services, and Miller in his childhood saw the baron and baroness driving to Mass at Conewago Chapel in their fine phaeton. In the summer of 1804, a severe epidemic of yellow fever ravaged the At- lantic States and the baron and baroness fell ill of it. The baron,s wife died in No- vember, 1804, and he followed her soon after. The baron and baroness are buried at Conewago Chapel, the Cradle of Chris- tianity in Pennsylvania, and it is hoped that the future will give this Catholic his just place in history. York's role in the American Revolution was one of great importance, the work of Catholics helped to make it so. Not only at York, but also during the war in general, their aid was indispensable. With the real- ization of this fact by other Americans, the prejudices against them softened somewhat, and a more tolerant attitude was enter- tained toward a faith whose members had cooperated wholeheartedly in the winning of the war. Our city of York has had the distinction of being for a time the Capital of the Thir- teen Colonies. Important events occurred during this time, in all of which Catholics figured conspicuously. However, in all the events of the War of Independence, they were significant, for they shouldered the burdens of state and devoted their energies and fortunes to the establishment and up- building of the Republic. According to John Carroll, Their blood flowed as freely, in proportion to their numbers, to cement the fabric of independence as that of any of their fellow-citizens. They con- curred with perhaps greater unanimity than any other body of men in recommending and promoting that government from whose influence America anticipates all blessings of justice, peace, plenty, good order and civil and religious liberty. 6555011 Unif fContinued from Page 46D homes for the aged, jail and the Federal Penitentiary at Lewisburg. Fifty pounds of cancelled stamps were mailed to stamp col- lectors, centers. Approved and Catholic movies were shown for the benefit of the missions. Reverend Lawrence Schott, Assistant Diocesan Director of the Propagation of the Faith, addressed our students on the life of Father Donavan, the martyred Marynoll missionary.

Two vessels of Swedes and Finns set sail for America in 1637, the expedition being led by Peter Minuit who later became di- rector-general in the plantation of New Amsterdam. He built a fort on the present site of Wilmington and bought from the Indians a tract of land extending from Bombay Hook to the Schuylkill. But the first permanent settlement for a white man was made in 1643 by the Swedes under the leadership of John Printz who built New Gottenburg on Tinicum Island. He also captured and enlarged Fort Casimer which Peter Stuyvesant established where New Castle, Delaware, now stands. In 1655 the Dutch annexed the Swedish settlements and remained in possession until 1664 when the Duke of York captured New Netherlands. However, the vital story of Pennsylvania began in the empty pockets of a poverty- stricken King of England. William Penn, son of Admiral Penn, inherited an unpaid debt of eighty thousand dollars which King Charles II owed to Penn's father. The King believed he was making an excellent bargain for himself by trading forty-six thousand square miles of forest, unseen by neither him nor Penn, for sixteen thousand gold pounds sterling. An impov- erished monarch in London could not pos- sibly forecast what an immeasurable harvest would be gathered by Penn when he pro- cured the title to what has proved to be the richest part of this continent. Besides making Penn the sole and abso- 65 lute proprietor of the land, the King's grant invested him with the power to frame the laws, to appoint judges and other officers, to impose taxes, suppress piracy, and con- script troops. Penn began his memorable voyage in August, 1682, and nearly two months later stopped at the outlet of a river now known as the Delaware. New settlers meant new wealth for Penn and for Pennsylvania. In order to sell tracts of his land Penn used the best possible method-that of insuring personal security plus complete religious freedom. To the Europeans of the end of the seventeenth century, still in the throes of a cruel religious conflict, the idea of finding a state without an established church and wherein all creeds were to be regarded on a basis of complete equality, seemed almost an impossibility. Nevertheless, Penn,s magnetic personal- ity enabled him to smooth out differences and to preserve great harmony in the in- dividualistic sect to which he belonged. Doubtless he imagined he could sway a Quaker assembly with success. The three lower counties on the Dela- ware Riveri' were transferred to William Penn by the Duke of York in 1681. They were attached to Pennsylvania until 1701, when Penn consented to a separate assem- bly for the Territory by which name the three counties were known until Revolu- tionary times when they became the state of Delaware. Pennls friend, James II, was deposed in 1688 and William of Orange succeeded to the throne. At King William's command two commissioners from New York who f0IfA. .fgnniuemary were sent to Pennsylvania reported that the colony was neither prepared to resist an Indian attack nor to resist French pri- vateers who infested Delaware. Therefore Pennis charter was revoked in 1692 and Governor Fletcher of New York took over the direction of affairs in Pennsylvania. After Penn gave his promise to the Privy Council to obey the Kingas orders he was reinstated in his proprietorship in 1694. During his second term of residence in the colonies, Penn urged and secured the pas- sage of laws to suppress piracy and prohibit trade, but it was against his will to advocate the warlike policy imposed upon him by the King. A second revocation of his charter was impending and Penn hurried back to Eng- land, never to return. The charter was saved, however, by the death of King William. The last act of Penn before leaving the colony in 1701 was the publication of a new constitution. By this constitution the assembly became the sole law-making power, and the council became the ap- pointive advisory and executive body. Since the Civil War the History of the Commonwealth has been mainly the his- tory of its industries and its trade. A new Constitution was adopted in 1873 and is still in effect today. Cafltogcd ana! jzeir Cooufzlfry HELEN Houck, Class of 1939 F there were such a thing as priority of right in this country it would belong to Catholics. Whether America was dis- covered by Columbus, or by some other mariner several centuries before, it was dis- covered by a Catholic. In fact, in either instance, the motive of the discoverer was to bring the Catholic faith to the aborigines. The first missionaries to America were Catholics who not only dedicated their lives to work of civilizing and Christianiz- ing the natives, but explored our lakes and rivers, gave names to what are now hun- dreds of towns and cities, and loved this land passionately. Religious freedom, which adherents of many religious organizations, such as the Puritans and other dissenters of England, did not enjoy in their own land, is our country's greatest boast. But even after some of these persecuted religious groups established themselves here, they formed f0fA, ,x4f1,niUer5ary colonies in which their particular religion alone was tolerated. But when Lord Balti- more established the Maryland Catholic colony he incorporated the provision of re- ligious toleration in the very constitution of his colony, and invited thereto those who were persecuted in the other colonies. When the colonies declared war on the mother country, whence came outside aid? From Catholic France came Lafayette, from Catholic Poland Pulaski and Kosci- usko, from Quebec and Ireland both men and money. By a special letter, Washington thanked the Catholics of his day for the prominent part they took in the War of Independence. When the Declaration of Independence was signed, the one who risked more than any other was Charles Carroll, of Carrollton, a Catholic. In the War of the Rebellion, Catholic Maryland furnished Lincoln with a whole host of brave generals, among them Sheridan, 66 Meade, Lane, Sherman, Shields, Mulligan and Rosecrans. When the United States de- clared war against Spain, Catholics did not take account of the religion of that country, but saw in her only an enemy that must be defeated, and they Hockedrfto the colors as patriotically as any other, group. In the late world war the Catholics of France, Bel- gium, and Italy joined Protestant England in fighting against Catholic Austria, and against the Catholics of the Rhineland. In the Army and Navy of the United States when war was declared, Catholics were represented by a far greater percentage idcqo ed 0 GEORGE EMERTON, HE profitable fur trade of the United States today had its origin almost with the discovery of America. To study the history of America is to study the history of the fur trade. Both are insepara- bly united, for the very rapid growth of the first is due largely to the existence of the second. The fur trade was one of the principal causes that increased immigration to the New World. It proved to be a lodestone to the nobleman, businessman, and adven- turer. These people, landing on the for- bidding American Continent, literally cut a way into the interior. They established trails, mapped the land, recorded their ex- periences and settled upon the most pro- ductive places. Civilization was thus given a means to widen its sphere, picking up bits of information as it went. When this country was first discovered its commercial value was of little concern to the crowned heads of Europe. It was but a wilderness inhabited by savages. They 57 than the Catholic body bore to the total population. Catholics constituted more than forty-five per cent of the marines, the most effective fighting force, they predominated over all other religious groups in the Rain- bow Division, which did most to end the world war. Owing to her determined stand against Socialism, against the divorce evil, and in favor of religion in education, the Catholic Church in the United States is doing her best in time of peace to insure the perpetu- ity of our republic. fAQ 6660815 Class of 1940 thought its only value was a possible water- route to the East. As time passed, the overlords of Europe became aware that the natives of America had furs as rich and in many cases richer than those produced in Europe, and that these natives were uncommonly anxious to trade their furs for the products of the white man. Then it was that the fur trade, a relic of antiquity, became the blood of a new nation. Overnight trading posts began to ap- pear. The ships bound for the Old World had rich cargoes of fur which was in great demand. Operating directly with the In- dians the post owners became rich, but even in such direct methods of trade there was the middle man. The fur posts at first were located on the Atlantic coast, therefore only coastal Indians could trade. However, a man with a barge or pack horse could enter the interior and return with as much fur as he could carry. The fur he would sell at a profit to the houses. l f0fA, .xdnniuerwary Such was the fur trade when great mo- nopolists appeared on the scene. To be sure, small companies had striven constantly for complete control, but their operations had covered only small districts, so it is correct to say that this was the first appearance of wholesale monopoly in America. Some of these companies were the Syndic of the F urriers which had Catherine de Medici as a prominent member, the companies of De Monts, LaRoche and many others. These were only partly successful and gradually disintegrated when the members of their respective leagues fell to plotting against each other. During their brief moments of triumph and profit, they were being watched by the Red Robe of France, Cardinal Richelieu. Richelieu had long cast a covetous look at American furs. He had studied the mis- takes and flaws of the various syndicates and now, his plan clearly formed in his head, he decided to do something about it. One of his first moves was to raise the dig- nity of commerce to a plane whereby men no longer considered it a disgrace to engage in trade. Commoners could become nobles through work of this sort. With this stimu- lant men fiocked into this profession. By such works of strategy did Richelieu and his Company of a Hundred Associatesi' gain control of almost everything from Florida to Hudson Bay. Even this carefully established company reigned only a short time. With Richelieuis death in 1642 it lost its ruling mind and by 1645 was losing as fast as it had gained. Other companies were sure to spring up and as long as the fur existed there also would be monopoly. Unfortunately the great rate at which the animals were being trapped would not insure the permanence of the fur source. There were still great numbers of virginal sources in the East, many that had never been trapped, but the f0fA .fgnnilferfiary beaver was already moving further West. The trapper followed the beaver. If the beaver moved the trapper must follow the beaver, if the beaver became scarce the trapper must suffer. The export trade, food, utensils, even other fur animals were rated by the beaver pelt. The old account books of the companies have lists of exchange such as this:-- 1 knife equals I beaver skin or 2 beaver skins equal 1 white-fox skin. Money was unknown in the wilderness and the beaver was the coin used. As the dollar is today, the beaver was then-the real ruler of America. It was when civilization, in the form of Lewis and Clarke, first crossed the conti- nent that Manuel Lisa began to mean any- thing to the Indians. Before the two ex- plorers had started on their long journey the Spanish trader, Lisa, had a flourishing trade among the Osage Indians. When Lewis and Clarke returned with their ac- counts of the Louisiana Territory, Lisa was the first to go west. At the head of a band of forty-two men he sailed up the Missouri River and established a trading post at the mouth of the Big Horn River. He sent men to all points to gather the rich harvest and the furs came in by the bales giving him untold profits for that time. His success was due largely to his manner of treating the red men. He appeared among the Indians as a friend not as a trader wanting only their furs. He lent them traps and took care of their sick and old. He brought valuable vegetable and other seeds as well as useless trinkets. In many ways he helped and be- friended the Indians so that they had con- fidence in him. Lisa was their friend, they would trade with Lisa. In time Lisa became head of the Mis- souri Fur Company and as such he came 68 into confiict with the Hudson's Bay Com- pany. Of all the companies that existed only the Hudson's Bay remains. Tireless and strong in unity they still hold sway over practically all of their former lands. It is chiefly through their work, both sepa- rately and in conjunction with the Cana- dian government, that the beaver was not exterminated in Canada as it so nearly was in the States. There has always been beaver in Canada. When it was first established the Com- pany had remained calmly out of all fur house squabbles. While Astor,s Rocky Mountain Company, the North West Com- pany, and the Missouri Company were fighting for absolute power, the Hudson,s Bay went on filling its storehouses with bales of furs. From this lethargy it was rudely awakened when its annual profits lapsed and the houses from the south were encroaching on its territory. Then it joined the battle over beaver and its pelt. Life became secondary to power. Raids weremade on returning trappers, on voy- ageurs carrying the season's catch, on the very posts themselves. The Indians were roused by rival companies to war upon their competitors. Supposed raids of In- dians turned out to be whites dressed as Indians. In short, they paid no attention to the laws of either God or man. Gradually as the mighty beaver de- creased companies were forced to give up altogether or come to terms with the victor. So the fur war ended. Avoiding warring Indians, braving the unexplored forests, often singly, capturing the beaver and other animals, that was the trapper's business. Spending, drinking and riotous living after long winters in the for- ests, that was his recreation. But, as has been shown, America owes much to this happy-go-lucky fellow. Through him trails were opened and culture carried into the wilderness. Men still spend their lives in the forests, still brave the dangers of starvation, freez- ing, disease, drowning, accident, getting lost that beset the trapperzl but times have changed and Beaver no longer rules the destiny of man. LOCKING THROUGH Last night I saw the moon Through cloud across it flying, Mysterious moving creature That flew without its trying, And it was thin, so thin It seemed to have but edges Without broadness within. 59 I saw the moon through it ' The moon was at the half, e And cloud and it together Put stop to boisterous laugh, I gazed from where I stood Up at the planet shining Straight through its misty hood. -GEORGE EMERTON, Class of '4o. f0fA .Anniuer5ary Cfcm Maier? CATHERINE ECK, Class of 1939 N September, 1935, sixty-six boys and girls who had just completed their ele- mentary grades entered York Catholic High School. To most of them the word high-schoolw was such a high-sounding phrase, full of awe and wonder! We soon learned that the step between eighth grade and freshman year was a large one and it took us some time to accustom ourselves to the new routine. Nevertheless, we realized that the purpose of our high school education was to broaden our minds and to teach us to think straight and ac- curately. Although separated into two sections, we soon began to make friends among our classmates. Aided by class-meetings, joint classes, basketball games and social affairs, our shyness began to disappear both toward our fellow freshmen and upper classmen. With our first introduction to the myste- ries of Latin, Algebra and other high school subjects, the new freshmen class discovered that daily application to studies was neces- sary. With Sr. Paula and Sr. Numilla super- vising our initial efforts, the strangeness of the work disappeared and we settled down to a hard yearls work. , In November we heard the sad news of Bishop McDevitt's death and we all prayed for the happy repose of his soul. His suc- cessor was The Most Reverend George L. Leech, D. D., C. D., who visited us in April and delivered us a very friendly ad- dress. You may be sure his visit was pre- pared for in a most becoming manner. V By May we began to feel as an integral part of the high school, especially since we aided in the production of the musical com- edy, Rosalie Runs Riot. Under the capa- f0fA .fynlf1,i1xer5ary ble direction of Father Kaminsky, the play was a grand success, and we were proud to think we had contributed our share in mak- ing it so. Before we had fully realized it, our first year of high school was at an end. After passing through the ordeal of June exami- nations, we were given a three-day retreat and then our summer vacation began. Three months of freedom from school work were very welcome to us Freshmen who were just becoming accustomed to the ways of high school. Vacation rolled around quickly and we were in school again-this time Sopho- mores. We felt older, wiser and more ex- perienced than we had a year previous. Our class was slightly smaller, but never- theless, we carried on and settled down to another successful year. For our home-room teachers we had Sr. Sophia and Sr. Jeanne Marie, while Sr. Numilla, Sr. Salvatora and Sr. Ventura taught us Latin, Biology and Geometry respectively. This year passed rapidly and we were again prepared for retreat. It was held three days before Easter vacation, and was given by Father Godfrey Casper, S. Our Sophomore year over, we settled down to a well earned vacation. Fall brought with it school again and now that we were Juniors, we looked for- ward eagerly to the many events that would take place in those nine months. As Juniors our two sections were com- bined as one class. Although separated as to our courses, we still had four periods together. With Sr. Ventura as home-room teacher, 70 plans for an active year were launched. iWe agreed to publish the junior Echo and selected a staff from our class. This bi- monthly publication gave our class a chance to develop their journalistic talent. Our most important work centered around our preparation for the Junior Prom. We held numerous dances to raise sufficient capital for the affair. Our Prom was one of the most beautiful and best at- tended in the history of the school. We are sure our class and all who were present will remember it as such. In April, we were grieved by the depar- ture of our teacher, Sr. Ventura, because of illness. Sr. Jeanne, our French teacher, filled her place as home-room teacher, and Sr. Margaret Mary Alacoque taught us the remaining subjects. Sr. Jeanne was a worthy successor to Sr. Ventura, and her efforts were largely responsible for the suc- cess of our Prom. Before we realized it, another year had slipped by and we had but one year to com- plete. How different was our position now! As Seniors we were the guiding star of the school and the object of admiration for underclassmen. Thoughts of graduation naturally filled our minds, but since we knew that first the successful completion of our work was necessary, we settled down with all earnest- ness to accomplish this objective. Never- theless, our senior year will always be remembered for the many good times we had. Plans for the publication of our Year Book began to occupy our minds. Because our graduation will mark the tenth anni- versary of the graduation of the first class, we decided to dedicate our volume to all the Alumni members and to Rev. Joseph Schweich, the first Principal of the High School. 71 Everyone worked for the success of the Year Book with unselfish interest. Perhaps this was due to the fact that of the five com- petitive groups into which our class was divided, the group which realized the larg- est amount in ads or patrons were to have been the founders of a Literary Club, which is one of the forecasts of the next year. We feel sure that our Year Book will be one of the most successful and attractive ever pub- lished. Also important was the 5,ooo word essay which every senior must write to complete the English course. Our subject was The Catholic Part in the American Revolutionf, and few of us will ever forget the knowl- edge we gained of the Catholic Builders of our United States. As soon as our lessons are finished, and the final examinations are over, many of us will take that long anticipated class trip. Our trip this year will include a three-day tour of Boston, New York and New York's World Fair. This event will be an appro- priate closing to our high school educa- tion. Last, but not least, comes our Graduation Day. As we march down the aisle with our diplomas in hand, with the strains of our Alma Mater ringing in our ears, we will be both happy and sad: happy, because we have completed our high school studies successfully, and sad, because for most of us our carefree school days will be ended. On this day we part with our classmates and friends, with whom we have spent some four years, some twelve, to take our place in the stream of life. In whatever fortune befalls us we shall ever cherish the memory of the happiness and the innocence of our high school days. When time and tide unite to form Eternity, may we be secure in the arms of Him Who, through the school, taught us how to live! fOlfA .fdnniuerdarg X llld I d-Qtr I Il x f .
