+Michael graduated from Clymer High School in Clymer, Indiana County, Pennsylvania in 1930. My Great Uncle Michael was the second of Stephen’s son to graduate from high school. He also had the distinction of being the class valedictorian. No bad for a coal miner’s son. I wonder what his parents thought of their son’s achievement?

+==== The family name of Csanovsky: ====
 On Michael's brother Joseph’s naturalization documents, which were filed in Indiana, Pennsylvania, it stated that when his mother Mary and her three sons (Joseph, Andrew and John) entered this country under the surname of Csanovsky. Documents from Ellis Island support this revelation but neither set of documents offer any explanation for the use of a second surname. One reason offered by relatives for the use of the surname Csanovsky was the existence of an immigration quota system that would have excluded them had they tried to enter the United States under the name of Timko. However, I have a problem with this explanation. It would imply that the family stated their surname and discovered that the country was too full of Timkos. And if that was the case, upon learning this valuable bit of information, did they simply tell the customs official, “I made a mistake. My real surname is Csanovsky.” There has to be more to the story.
