COLUMBINE
Ting-a-ling-a-ling, sounded the
alarm clock. Swiftly and accurately
a pillow flew through the air, knock-
ing the alarm clock and the stand on
which it stood to the floor, causing
enough noise to awaken the entire
neighborhood, if it had not been so
noisy itself.
"VVhat do you want. exclaimed a
voice, as a knocking was heard at the
door. At the same time the door flew
open.
"It's half past tive, Red, and the
train leaves in ten minutes, Do you
want to be asked to hand in your
PM
resignation now .
A small volcanic eruption seemed to
take place in the bed. The bed clothes
flew in all directions, and the touseled
sleepy-headed Red appeared in the
midst of the upheaval.
"For the love of Mike, Bob, why
didn't you call me before? How will
I ever catch the train, and what would
Nancy say if I was asked to resign ?"
As he was speaking, Red was hur-
riedly scrambling into his clothes and
three minutes later, with his collar
and tie in his hand and his coat over
PM
his arm, hat perched on one side of
his head, Red rushed out of the door
and up the street towards the station.
Luckily for him he lived only four
squares away. QI-le was a mail clerk
on the Pennsylvania line and this was
his last trip before his vacationj
Left alone, Bob surveyed the room
with a smile on his face. "VVould he
ever have left if' I had given him the
letter which came for him P" said he
to himself. i
All that day and the next Bob
waited as patientlyas he could for the
return of Red. At last that time ar-
rived and he was watching at the win-
dow as Red swung up the steps.
"Hurry up, Red, get a move on,
here's a letter for you from Virginia."
At the word V irginia, Red entered the
room with a hop and a jump. Catch-
ing up the envelope and tearing it
open, he took one look at the contents,
caught Bob by the shoulders, swung
him around the room and ordered him
to begin packing at once. just look
at this Bob, a check from Dad, and an
invitation for you. Good old Dad !"
Such a hustling as took place ini
0 T H li XV AX II lol O U
that room! Shirts, ties, collars, hand-
kerchiefs, and various other articles
were shoved into a suitcase and in
half an hour Bob and Red were ready
to start forth again, this time for
Virginia. How slowly the time did
pass! The next day they landed in
a small town in Virginia. NVaiting
for them were Red's parents and a
group of Red's young friends. They
were hailed with shouts and cries of
delight. "Hello, old fellow, how's the
trip? Glad to see you. My, but you're
looking fine. Hey, Red. here's Nancy
patiently waiting to say hello."
By much maneuvering, the young
people were finally settled in the cars
and they started on their way to the
home of Red.
That night, after the evening meal
was over and the young people had di-
vided up somewhat and disappeared in
various directions, Red and Nancy
found themselves alone in the living-
rooni. Without any hesitation, Red
plunged into the subject which was
nearest his heart. "Nancy, you know
I've always loved you, won't you
marry me and go back North with
me when I go? You see I am mak-
ing good. I told you I would."
"Oh, Red, what made you ask me
now P"
"Nancy, has Dick asked you the
same question ?"
Although Red and Dick were the
best of friends, they were rivals in
love. At this moment Dick entered
the room and, seeing the expression on
their faces, he knew exactly what had
happened.
"Excuse me, I didn't know I was
interruptingfi
"I am glad you came in, Dick, and
Nancy can decide now which of us
she will have."
"Oh, boys, I am so fond of you
both that I do not know for which of
you l care the most," said Nancy.
"You must decide now," said both
the boys at once.
"You boys both know that Colum-
bine is my favorite Hower. The one
who brings the first one this spring, I
will marry. Now please go." The
boys turned and left the room.
The weeks passed pleasantly and
many a good time was had, but the
day soon arrived for Red and Bob to
return to Pittsburgh.
The weeks passed swiftly and when
spring came Red and Bob handed in
their resignations from the mail serv-
ice and started again for Virginia.
This time there was no crowd to wel-
come them home, and the town seemed
quiet, for everyone was doing his bit
to help with the great war.
The next day after their arrival,
Bob and Red started on a trip over
the hills in search of Columbine. They
found everything but what they were
searching for. just as they were
starting for home, Red saw a few
buds that were nearly open and would
be fully so by the next day. Marking
the place so that they would be able to
find it, they turned their footsteps
toward home. Going over a rocky
path, Red slipped and fell, breaking
his ankle. As it was late afternoon,
Bob knew he would not have time to
go for help before darkness would he
upon him and it would be hard to
find his way back in those old Virginia
hills with help. So, lifting Red on
his shoulder, he managed to stagger
down the hill and by resting often
Bob was able to reach a small shanty
about five miles from home. Here he
obtained help and together they were
driven home in an ox-cart.
The next day Bob started for
Nancy's home to tell her about Red.
On his way he met Dick, hurrying
along at breakneck speed with a
Columbine in his hand. Hailing him,
he told him of Red's misfortune.
'l' ll E W A H ll O U 7
After hearing the whole story, Dick
threw his Flower in the street, turned
on his heel and walked away. The
next day he enlisted and in three
weeks was on the other side of the
ocean, fighting for his country.
Bob returned home and told Red
what Dick had done.
The next day Red received a let-
ter from Dick, telling him that he had
heard of his misfortune and would
not take advantage of it, that he was
enlisting and would probably' be sent
overseas. "I have a feeling, Red.
that I will not live to return. I am
leaving the field clear for the rightful
winner. May God bless you, and may
you always be happy."
Half an hour after Red received
the letter, he was on his way to see
Nancy. He shpwed her the letter and
told her all he knew.
Nancy and Red were married the
next spring and they spent their
honeymoon in, the hills of Virginia
hunting for Columbine.
About five months after Dick had
gone overseas, tthey heard that he had
been killed in action.
Bob's resignation was not accepted
and he was sent for to return to Har-
risburg to recelive his orders.

THE HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF '22
Let me take you back to the time
when the earth was covered with
dense foliage. when man groveled in
the dust of humiliation, when the
beasts were supreme. How well I
can see the picture: a cave in the hill-
side, a man within, cowering in trem-
bling fear! 'lust outside the cave I
see a huge. tawny lion, his eyes gazing
in supreme contempt at the poor be-
nighted man. During this age, the
lion was not only king of the beasts.
but also superior to man-so superior
that man was afraid to assert himself
-afraid even to venture forth and
express his opinion of things in gen-
eral.
'lihis lirst period corresponds to the
dark ages of our high school career--
that old prehistoric time away hack in
the early autumn days of V919 when
ou1' brilliancy was still hidden-in
those early cave days when we were
just beginning our gropings for the
light of higher knowledge enkindled
at Irwin. l.atimer. Riverside. yea.
even Millvale and Glenshaw. Then.
too, we werel afraid to assert our-
selves, afraid lto venture forth with
our opinions Nof things in general.
Then, too, we, like the early cave man,
feared-- .
But the pictlure suddenly changes--
the first is forgotten-it is the Age of
the Ancient Egyptians and man has
somewhat modified conditions. lie no
longer fears the other vertebrates. but
he has found new enemies, other
men. How the old Pharaohs drove
the people! How the subjects labored
and sufferedli I can see the picture
so clearly. In the background is a
half-completed pyramid, in the fore-
ground a huge stone. Ten thousand
ligyptians are' pulling and pushing,
trying to dragi this stone to its proper
niche in the! pyramid. How they
struggle!
Our second era -we came to :lille-
gheny, the Egypt of our High School
history. Then did we toil and tug to
put the massiye stones of Geometry,
of Latin, of Science, into the niche in
the pyramid lof knowledge that we
8 THE WAH HOO
were building. How remorselessly
the Pharaohs drove us! Only the fit-
test of us survived and--but the
picture again changes.
And then came the Renaissance-
that period when Cto quote Pancoastj
"men were full of energy and en-
thusiasm, and when they claimed free-
dom of thought and action," that
period which "introduced new sub-
jects of study and produced scholars
of a new type."
We asserted ourselzfesf We were a
class--an organized body. Our lead-
ers and ' officers were Kier Boyd,
Childs ulamieson, Charlotte Mears and
Robert Dixon. Our weapons were
our Egyptian reputations. VVe had
Ieau'a1'.s'--riot masters--we were willing
followers, not cowering slaves.
We also were introduced to new
subject of study: Burke, Chemistry,
Trigonometry. We, too, produced
scholars QFD of a new type, an en-
tirely new type from what A. H. S.
had ever seen.
To celebrate our awakening we held
a picnic at Riverview Park. VVe still
had the most profound respect for our
leaders, but that respect was based
upon love rather than upon fear. We
knew that they knew that we knew
not and we gladly followed them.
About two hundred and fifty of the
fittest of the fit survived this rebirth
and--
Now we come to the last picture in
this series-the Modern Era. Life is
a very complex atfair. Every moment
is filled with sixty seconds' worth of
achievement.
We are nearing our goal-but there
is yet much to accomplish. In the
dawn of this era, we reorganized,
electing Kier Boyd president, Louis.
Lustenberger vice president, Charlotte
Mears keeper of records, and Robert
Dixon, the modern Diogenes in search
of an honest dues-payer. VVe cele-
brated by dressing up in our prehis-
toric costumes fdidn't we, Lobie?j.
We looked on with envy as 'ZIM
strutted through the halls. But Our-
Day has come! To again quote Pan-
coast, "Old ideas, old ways of living,
have been greatly altered or altogether
given up." Our power is felt far be-
yond the limits of the class of 1922--
we have a following of 1,300 under-
classmen. Our ideas spread through-
out the whole school. XVe are "The-
Class."
Our high school pyramid of knowl-
edge is almost complete. Of course,
the rough stones need much polishing,
the niches need to be filled out more
completely, but we now know how to
do this task in a less arduous manner
--we go on to--whatever it may be-
with confidence that these four years
have been worth while. VVe have
"evoluted" intellectually from grovel-
ing cave men to embryonic geniuses.
But the fourthppicture fades away
--the history of the class of 1922 is
closed. Utinam ea in rfliqu-um tem-
pus egregia sit.

THE XVAH HOU 9
TWO BOSTON BAGS
Summer vacation had at last ar-
'ived, and james Bradford, known as
'Jim" among his friends, was prepar-
ng to leave Harvard for New York,
vhere he was going to visit some
friends before going to his home in
Slew Jersey.
However, just before his depart-
lre, he received a pleasant surprise in
he form of a telegram. It was a tele-
gram from an old friend of his
ather's, "Uncle Tim." It was an in-
'itation to a house party at Uncle
l'im's beautiful cottage at Lake Chau-
auqua. "I'll be there with bells on,"
aid a telegram which jim sent to
Incle Tim before boarding the Col-
inial Express" for New York.
Four days later found jim in pos-
ession of a chair on the New York
fentral, bound for Chautauqua.
There were not many people in the
ar, but even if there had been, jim
vould just as easily have noticed a
'ery beautiful fin his estimationj
'oung lady in a chair on the other side
if the car. He found himself lost in
dmiration. She was alone, too, and
im could not help wondering where
he was going.
"Gee, I'd like to know her l" sighed
im to himself. Then he remembered
e had been staring at her for the last
ve minutes, and, as jim was a very
fell mannered young gentleman, he
pparently became absorbed in the
ountry through which the train was
assing.
"VVh0 is she? Where is she going FH
im kept asking himself.
How he wished he knew her, or
new someone that knew her, but she
ras alone, and he was alone.
Now, there are two sides to every-
iing, and a Pullman car is no excep-
on. While jim was wishing he could
trike up an acquaintance, without be-
ing presumptuousx or violating any
rules of etiquette, lthe young lady on
the other side of the car was wonder-
ing who he was, and wishing he would
say something. i
Of course, our hero was handsome:
all heroes are. She noticed this, of
course, but she was always struck by
his athletic appearance and bearing.
But there seemed tio be something be-
sides thisg he seemed so cheerful,
though he didn't smile. His expres-
sion had a little Smile in it all the
time, and his bearing indicated that
he bore a good will toward everyone.
"VVhat a nice man," she said.
So they rode all day without speak-
ing, although each was wishing all the
time that the other would take the
.first step. j
The sun was just setting in the west
as the train stopped at the lake. The
young lady hurried, out with a Boston
bag.
"By cracky, she'is getting off here,
too!" said our hero to himself. He
took more time to get his baggage to-
gether, so he lost sight of her.
VVhen the steamer touched the dock
near Uncle Tim's cottage, it was- dark.
but Uncle Tim managed to find him
among the crowd ,and gave him a
hearty greeting. Most of the guests
had not yet arrived, so jim decided
since he was very tired from the long
trip, that he wouldinhit the feathers."
Having washed, helreturned from his
bathroom to his room and opened his
Boston bag. Out of it he pulled
something- i
He took a step backwards and
rubbed his eyes. NVhat was it? A
lady's kimonal Horrors! That was
enough for poor jim! He chucked
the objectionable article back into the
bag hurriedly and closed it. He fell
into a chair and mopped his brow with
10 THE XVXH HOU
a handkerchief. It was a lady's bag!
He was overcome, and leaned back in
the chair. His eyes lit on the bag and
he dashed over to it and threw it into
a corner behind the large chair.
"Out of my sightln gasped lim,
and collapsed on the bed.
"XVhat will I do with it, and what
am I going to do without my clothes ?"
How did he get that bag, anyhow?
Then he remembered That charm-
ing young lady in the Pullman car had
a Boston bag which looked exactly
like his. 'l'hey had been side by side
on the Hoor, and she has taken his
by mistake.
After a time, .lim plucked up cour-
age and walked over to the bag and
looked at its end. Un it were the ini-
tials, E. gl. B.
"Edith, Elizabeth. Ethel, Emma-I
wonder what it is," he said. Again
Jim dropped into a chair.
He had been sitting in this chair for
perhaps a quarter of an hour when he
heard a knock at the door. More
trouble!
.lim jumped to his feet: what could
he do now? He was only a third
dressed. Fortunately -limls brain did
not desert him, although in his condi-
tion it would not have been surprising
if it had. He grabbed a spread from
the bed and wrapped it around hin
self. True, he looked like a Roman
his toga, but what else could he do?
jim opened the door. It was a mai
and the first thing -lim noticed abo'
this maid was that she held a Hostc
bag in her hand.
"Miss Brown says that she mu
have your bag, sir. She says she mam
a mistake, and wants to know if yc
have hers."
lim's face lighted up and he hu
ried over and got the other bag. E
grabbed his own before the ma
could hand it to him.
"Hurrah!" he shouted, he had l
beloved bag, and she was at the hou
party. VVhat more could he wish?
The next morning Uncle Tim intr
duced .lim to his niece, Miss Eliz
beth Brown, and lim was supreme
happy.
The house party lasted two weel
and two weeks is ample time for tv
young people to become well a
quainted, when each is desirous
doing so. At the end of that time, s
was "Betty" to him, and he was pla
".lim."
As for the rest of this story, ti
your imagination.

A SAD MISTAKE
Not so long ago our church got a
new minister. He is a nice, good,
sociable man, but since he came from
a different district he was totally un-
acquainted with our people. For this
reason he made the following foolish
blunder:
About a week ago he called upon
Mrs. Jones. Her husband had died
suddenly just a week before and she
naturally supposed that his visit h
to do with this sad event. So after
few minutes she was not surprised
hear him say:
'Alt was a sad occurrence, was
not?
"Yes," she faltered, drawing c
her handkerchief in order to be p
pared.

"Oh, yes, we never dreamed of
such a thing."
"He died in the harness,I suppose ?"
"VVhy, no! Not exactly."
"I suppose you had grown to love
him ?"
"Naturally, sir."
The minister began to get perplexed,
but went on:
"He died of old age, did he not ?,'
"No, sir," she snapped. "Sun-
stroke."
"Indeedg you must have worked
him too hard."
"He could always take care of him-
self, sir."
"He must have been very intel-
ligentf'
"He was."
"I was told you had to administer
chloroform to put him out of his
misery."
"That was not so. He died nat-
urallyf'
"He did?" repeated the minister,
becoming more and more Hustered.
"He kicked the footboard down. in
his last agonies, did he not ?"
"He most certainly did noty'-very
indignantly.
"I must have been misinformed.
How old was he ?',
"Thirty-live."
"But he didn't do much active work
and you could easily fill his place with
another. In fact, you are probably
better off without him."
"Sir! I am not that kind of
woman."
Sleep, little stars, like happy children
in the spell of dreams:
Your slumber should be soft and
"You could easily get one as good.
lle was wall-eyed, I understand."
"He was not"-becoming angry.
"I saw him at ivvork one day, and I
and sure he had stiff knees."
"Inipossibleg he had a cork leg."
"But he had his good points, too."
"I should hope so."
"The way he held his head, for ex-

"I SAID--"
He was just thirteen, an only son,
red haired and freckled, which may
have been an awful state of affairs
and which may have been trying to
him-but he was in a far worse pre-
dicament-he was in love.
His heart's desire, a very pretty lit-
tle girl, slightly smaller than he, was
the only daughter of the Vanders', a
family who were residing at their
summer home in the central and
most beautiful part of the town. Her
blue eyes and long curls gave her the
position of "the belle of juvenile so-
ciety" in Nelson. She could dance,
she had a bicycle all her owng in fact,
she had everything or could get every-
thing she desired.
To the younger members of the
town it would have meant "sure
death" if anything had been said
against her or her dog, in his presence.
In fact, he practically terrorized the
children with his threats of murder,
for he was king of the male society
there and held full sway over all mem-
bers. He had attained this position by
being able to turn hve cart-wheels in
succession, jump the highest and
shoot "commies, knee-heights" the
best.
He may have been king of all he
surveyed in male society, but he soon
learned that to rule women was a dif-
ferent matter. He claimed her by
right of conquest-but, as all con-
querors do, he met his doom.
One day, while standing near her
gate for no fiarfirnlar reason what-
ever, he heard voices on her front
porch.
"1 hate frerkled faced kids, don't
you P" p
"Uh, my mother said it ain't nice to
talk----" just then old Parkins' ma-
chine passed, and all he could hear
was "faced children " lt was spoken
in a loud, haughty voice which he rec-
ognized to be "hers.',
He was now lost-she had said that
her mother said that it a'in't nice to
even talk to freckle faced kids, and
his face was just full of them!
The next day among the mail re-
ceived by the Brooks' was a letter for
"Master James Brooks." His mother
opened it and read:
You are rordially invited lo attend a party
given by
Jllr. and Mrs. Vanders
in honor of
Miss Grace Vanders
at eight o'cl0ck
Friday, July 9, 1922
53 Pennsylvania Avenue
Nelson, Pennsylvania
Mrs. Brooks was filled with joy at
this evidence of the social prominence
of her son-but jimmy read it with 2
different view.
"Aw, what's the use of goin' to that
old party? They're a bunch 0:
snobsl" Had he been void of "nat
ture's spots" he would have been verj
willing to go, but he was blest bj
nature. However, his mother said ln
was going to go-and go he must.
But he had freckles "splashed" al
over his face-and she hated freckles
He must get rid of them.
That night he scrubbed his face a
it never had been scrubbed before, bu
the harder he scrubbed the mori
freckles appeared, and the scrubbing
made his face sore and red.
He once had read that lemon juic
takes out spots from clothes--if i
worked for spots so much the bette
--that's what he had.
The next morning he ran down t
the drug store and got one of thos
medicine advertisement books tha
have valuable information on anti
dotes.
THE WAH HOU 13
He took two lemons from his
mother's pantry and went up to his
bedroom. He followed the directions
specifically, just according to the book,
but the book referred to clothes and
it was his face that was to suffer. He
was rubbing in the last half lemon
when his fingers slipped and in went
the "darn stuff" into both his eyes.
He rubbed them, he dried them, but
the harder he rubbed and the more he
dried, the more seemed to go in.
He soon managed to dilute the
lemon juice with water and once more
he was able to see through half closed
eyes.
VVhat could he do now. Suddenly,
as not often before, an idea flashed
into his head! He would shave them
off. But where would he get a razor?
His father did not shave until Friday
night and he did not know where the
razor was.
If he asked his mother for it she
would become excited and think that
he wanted to kill himself-then she
would watch him too closely and he
would get no liberties at all.
He wondered to himself if Frank,
the barber, could perform the opera-
tion. He ran upstairs and took
twenty-five cents from his bank. All
excited, with his heart beating rapidly,
he was about to open the door of the
barber shop when he noticed that the
barber had two customers--they would
tell everyone in town that jimmy
Brooks had his freckles shaved off-
and the town surely must know of her
dislike for freckles. Then she would
know that he had done it for her-
that wouldn't do, and the next barber
was six miles away.
He turned away and was not five
squares from the intended shaving
when he noticed Freddy Parkins-he
had a big brother!
"I'll give you five agates if you will
:git your kid's razor for me." The
price loomed big in Freddv's eyes and
he accepted.
jimmy had just finished locking the
bedroom door and placing the cold
steel edge to his face, when he heard
a whistle-then someone called, "Ho,
jimmy," "Ho, jimmy!" lt was
Freddy. j
"VV'hat's a matter?', jimmy called
down.
"Gee whiz, blinnny, our kid came
home and he needs his razor. I'll get
killed if I go home without it."
jimmy's mother heard, but through
the various noisesj round about, all she
could make out was "killed," "Jimmy,"
"razor," "home."l She ran hurriedly
upstairs and, Ending the door locked,
became more excited than ever.
"jimmy, what's the matter F" "Open
the door! ! !" j
Jimmy threw the razor out the win-
dow and disgustedly opened the door.
"Jimmy, are you hurt? Tell me!
What were you saying about 'razor'
and 'killed'?"
"Aw, nothin' a'tall !" He turned
away for fear of more questioning
and ran downstairs into the yard.
That all happened Thursday.
On Friday at o'clock he prepared
to dress for the great occasion. He
scrubbed thoroughly in the hope that
a few stray freckles might come off
anyhow.
Then came the blow! He was to
wear a Buster Brown collar. If one
has ever seen a young colt being led
about prior to his being saddled--that
is the feeling one gets when he wears
a collar for the first time.
"I ain't goin' to wear no collar like
that !" J
But mothers will be mothers, so he
wore it. Then came the vital parting
of his hair-he couldn't find the part,
so he called downstairs, "Oh, maw, I
ainft goin' to that old party !"
"What's the matter now ?" a voice
14 'l' H li XR
YXH H00
called up.
"Oh, l can't part my hair or
nuthin'.'y
His mother soon found the part.
and changed hlimmy's mind. But for-
tune was not against him in every-
thing. His father had had to shave
that night and leave immediately.
jimmy had watched where the razor
was placed, and was soon wetting his
face prior to the fatal scrapingf He
dragged the steel down his cheek in
one slow stroke, then up again. He
looked into the glass. They 'Z2'01tId1l,t
rome off.
He knew he wasn't going now!
But, as I said before, mothers will
be mothers, so he went.
It was a nervous, excited, freckle-
faced youth instill freckledl that rang
the doorbell to "her home." He en-
tered, and immediately went into the
corner with his gang to avoid intro-
ductions. As he turned he saw her,
Graff' Vandvrs, in the corner speak-
ing to ri freckle-faced, red-headed
sissy. K
VVhether freckles are significant of
courage, or not, he had both. He man-
aged to get her alone and asked her:
"I thought you once said that your
mother said that it ain't nice to talk t'o
freckled-faced children, didn't you"
with an air of accusation.
'GI didn't say that," she managed to
say, reddening a bit. "I said that my
mother said that it ain't nice to talk
about freckled-faced children."
HT-t-then y-you like freckled-faced
kids PM he inquired anxiously.
"W-well Q she turned three shades
of crimsonj, I don't exactly-really
like them, but I don't hate themf, she
said.
"I sure am glad my mother made
me come !" sighed Jimmy as he fin-
ished gulping down a huge sponnful
of ice cream.
SYDNEY M. SAW.. '22.
THE BEGINNING OF A BEAUTIFUL FRIENDSHIP
Ile was trying in vain, it seemed, to
figure it out. VYould he never get the
report finished? Besides, he couldn't
multiply, then add, then subtract,
when the vision of a girl that he had
just met a few hours ago was con-
stantly in his mind.
"XVhy do all seemingly sweet domes-
tic girls turn out to be accountants
and so on E" he muttered.
'lust then she entered the room.
She was neither very beautiful nor
was she very homely.
"just about right," he had said to
himself at dinner.
"VVhy all the paper?" she asked.
looking around the room, the Hoot of
which. besides the chairs and desk.
was littered with paper that he had
used to figure it out.
"lust figuring," he answered, hur-
riedly picking up the papers that were
nearest him. "Can I do anything for
you ?"
"Your sister said that I would hnd
a vase here that she wants for How-
ers. Oh, here it is," and vase in her
arms, she left the room.
t'Nice old grouchf' she murmured,
but then she didn't know he was af-
Hicted with an income tax report,
which was commonly referred to as It
by the family. He evidently had not
made a very good impression upon
her at dinner and had not improved
it any in the last few minutes.
THE WAH I-IOO 15
Meanwhile he resumed his work
tgain, but he found that he did not
rave the book that contained the
nemoranda of last year's income tax
'eport. He conducted a diligent
search on the desk, examined all the
nooks in the bookcase, then turned to
ihe desk again and searched through
:he drawers. In the last one he came
ipon an old snapshot album of his sis-
:er's. Out of curiosity he opened it
md paged through, amused at the
pictures of people they had known
ten years ago when they were boy
and girl. But suddenly his attention
was caught by the snapshot containing
a girl entirely surrounded by in-
numerable kittens. He recognized her
by the kittens. There had been only
one girl in their neighborhood who
had shown such a marked preference
for them. That girl was Sally Mc-
Bride, and Sally McBride was she.
He had good cause to remember
Sally. Sally had made a decided im-
pression upon him with her tists and
fingernails, for he had incurred her
righteous wrath by tying tin cans to a
great majority of her kittens and by
hanging the minority with their tails
tied together on his mother's wash
line. The boy next door, who was
quitc a bully, had dared him to do it.
"I wonder if she remembers me,"
bemused. just then the telephone
rang and picking up the receiver he
heard over the wire the voice of the
president of the firm telling him to
make arrangements to leave imme-
diately or as soon as possible for
Chicago.
' lie left an hour after, giving his
mother instructions concerning his
business and also telling her to get an
accountant, from the ofhce if possible,
if not to hire one to hnish lt.
His mother called up the otlice to
inquire whether an accountant could
be spared, but she was unable to se-
cure one. That evening at dinner table
his mother mentioned his need. His
sister turned to Sally and said:
"Oh, it's a shame! That old income
tax has caused more trouble than
enough. It was the cause of your re-
ceiving a bad impression of him, I'm
sure. And now he has gone and you
won't be able to see him and know
him when he is really himself."
"VVhy can't I hx that report F" Sally
asked. "lt will only take me a short
time and it will save a lot of trouble.
Please allow me td do it."
"You're a dear," his sister answered.
"VVon't he be pleased when he comes
home and iinds it finished."
Sally began lt immediately, worked
hard and diligently at it for two hours
and then It was finished.
The next morning he unexpectedly
returned and fourld her straightening
up his desk.
f'It's a pretty mess, I suppose," he
said, "but dlgdnlt have time to ar-
range it. t as' been many a day
since this desk had been tidied up.
VVhy, what's this?" He broke QR
staring.
There- was his income tax report,
Eeagly piled, and, wonder of wonders,
e ound that it was finished.
"VVhy, mother secured an accoun-
tant atter all. VVell, this is a load off
my 1lI111Cl.H He rushed off to see his
mother.
She slipped out ot the room to pack,
as she had to return to work tomor-
row. As she was coming downstairs
to secure a strap for her suitcase she
niet him in the hall.
"1 can never thank you enough," he
began land lstopped. for he suddenly
remem merec how he had always
viewed girls who did this sort of
work.
.She smiled and answered, "Oh, that
will pay tor that awful scratching that
I gave you ten years ago."

FAREWELL POEM
We stood at the foot of the mountain
Only three short years ago 3
VVe started to climb to the summit,
But the way we did not know.
The slope was steep and rocky,
The road was long and drear.
Some soon gave up the effort:
We journeyed on in fear.
But how often, oh, how often
VVe wished that an eagle strong
VVould bear us away in its talons
To the height we viewed so long.
Yes, we have ever looked upward
And step by step we have climbedg
Now we find only the sunshine,
The clouds we have left behind.
Our lessons have been the mountain,
Our text-books have been the haze,
The summitls our graduation,
YNe're ending our High school days.
But from the top where we're
standing,
Other heights appear,
And our life work beckons onward
Through many a coming year.
And we look from summit to summit
Where the pathway is rough am
long,
Determined to pass ever forward,
Singing a grand new song.
We know we can reach each summit
For others this pathway have trod
Each bearing his share of the
burden,
With faith in himself and his God
just here We pause to look backwarc
And wave farewell to you all,
Then we'll turn about and face
forward,
Responding to Duty's loud call.
To Mr. Smith, who has led us,
To the teachers who have shower
the way,
To the students who have cheered us
We bid you Goodbye this day.
xNS,1'C sad that our school days are
over,
VVe're sad that today we mus1
part,
But while life remain with us, ever
A. H. S. will live in each heart.

THE ORACLE THAT WAS BETTER SILENT
"Say, what do you kids think I
am !" the traffic cop exploded. "A lit-
tle squirt jest asked me where the
Yale Cubs and the Eagle Midgets
wuz playin'g an' this afternoon one of
those growed up high school kids with
flat shoes and sawed-off skirts and
hair wanted t' know what car it wuz
that'd take her to her friend's house.
She didn't know what car it wuz, but
it left every hfteen minutes and what
car wuz it?,'
"And now you wanna iiztcrvicw
me!!! XVhere do you kids get that
stuff? Intcrvirrwf Huh!" and to
punctuate his disgust he shifted his
quid from starboard to port, blew his
whistle and raised his arms, at which
I instinctively ducked, before realizing
it was the semaphore signal to direct
traHic. But now, much abashed at his
belligerent attitude, as he stood with
outspread arms and cheeks Haming
with the united effort of blowing his
whistle and retaining his quid, I made
an abrupt about face, stepped out of
the way of two Buicks, over a Ford,
and directly in front of an on-rushing
truck. jumping to the curb, I looked
around in time to see the driver put
his hand to his heart and register ab-
iect disappointment. He had missed
me.
I realized I was the cynosure of all
eyes, so l slunk into the corner drug
store and, in an embarrassed manner,
ordered two nut sundaes. With a
strange look on his face, the clerk pre-
pared them.
The lllan About Town was the pic-
ture of dejection. He had counted on
an interview with the traffic cop, and
now, but one day before going to
press. no interview had been secured.
76 'l' H E IN A H ll O U
Then, realizing he was wasting time
which was both "precious" and "gold-
en," the M. A. T. summoned the
blonde soda expert, who was apprais-
ing himself in the only part of the
wall mirror not utilized by white-
washed letters. The blonde beauty
looked round with a bored air, hnished
correcting the alignment in the parting
of his hair, then produced the check
for which the M. A. T. waited.
The M. then started across Ohio
Street just in time to see his friend,
the traffic cop, momentarily forget his
pomposity in avoiding a machine
driven by a woman. The minion
of the law struck a pose, put his hands
on his hips, and glared at her, swal-
lowing tobacco and words.
But the M. A. T. did not stop to
gather round with the inevitable mob
that surrounds anything from a Korn
Kure demonstration to a side street
Socialist. He was a victim of cursed
melancholy. Mounting the steps to
the statue of "The Reading Black-
smith," he sat down to decide what he
should tell the staff in the morning.
"Interview, interview, interview," he
sighed, not realizing he spoke aloud.
"I can't get one anywhere."
"An interview is a mutual sight or
view, a conference 3 also the published
statement of the material so obtained,
so it is," quoth a lanate voice.
The M. A. T. looked up with fright.
There was no one near! Could he
have been dreaming?
"It can also be used as a verbg to
converse, confer or confabulate. You
can't fool me on a word," the melli-
Huous voice continued.
The M. A. T. then realized it must
be the Reading Blacksmith who was
speaking.
"Yes, I've been sitting here for over
two decades, reading this book by a
glosso-grapher named Noah Webster.
And it was my opinion until recently
that the now inanimate Noah had
them all backed otl' the boards, as
a passerby put it. when it came to
inventing words. But now I am fast
losing faith in the aforementioned
noted but now deceased lexicologist.
VVhy, young man, do you know that
only yester night a youth in bidding
farewell to his friend, stated, 'Ta, ta,
old oil can. I'm waltzin' over t' the
slide arena to tear off a coupl'a hops
with the Rig Berthasl' These high
school couples that pause here to sepa-
rate use hardly a word I can find in
this book. And every day I hear
words and phrases that the now de-
funct Noah never thought of. Last
Saturday night a young man informed
a young lady that she was the 'bee's
knees'g now, while I have never
studied the anatomy of bees, I pre-
sumed the remark to imply insignifi-
cance, and though he said it in rather
a flattering manner, I expected to see
him 'propelled for a goal,' if you will
allow me to use of colloquialism I re-
cently heard."
"But do you not find it almost un-
bearable-sitting here doing nothing
-forever ?" asked the M. A. T.
"On the contrary," replied the
Blacksmith. "There is not a more in-
teresting corner in the city. I have
watched the passing people and every
incident here from auto collisions to
verbal combats between man and wife
for twenty-two years. And the best
part of it is I am unnoticedg I hear
things that are not said for everyone's
ears. I see man at his worst. Before
I came here I used to feel an affection
for people--now the main reason I
seldom look up is to avoid seeing
them." T
"Is that the only reason you keep
your eyes glued to this book!" ex-
claimed the M. A. T.
"Oh, no !" replied the statue. "It
also enables me to hear and see things

especially dull on the heels and the in-
sides, he shined them himself, and
only half did the job. Therefore he
is lazy."
"ln other words," mouthed the M.
A. T., in mimic wonder, "you know
that all people are lazy by merely
looking at their shoes.
"Exactly," agreed the Blacksmith,
the irony missing him completely.
"And if the inside of the left shoe is
brighter than that of the right shoe,"
he continued, "the man is right
handed. If the shoelace is tied in a
good, firm knot it denotes a good,
Hrm characterg in a loose knot, vice
versa."
"What philosophical observations !"
said the M. A. T. derisively.
The statue, Hattered at the flow of
his own intellect, continued. "Also if
a high school girl Hurries past with
sport shoes bearing great footprints
of dirt on the toes, 1 know that she
is either popular at school and the fel-
lows think it is clever to step on her
toes, or else she comes to school on a
Crosstown carf'
"Marvelous, my dear Sherlock,"
acclaimed the Man, Wlatsonically.
"Your deductions are astounding."
"Yes," agreed the statue, "I have
been sittin' here for over twenty years
studying and observing. And things
are changing all the time. Even when
I first came here the Allegheny High
School lovers used this corner as a
trysting place. The boy then came up
in a racetrack suit and a startling mus-
tacheg the girl wore curves where they
were needed and a hat that sat up on
the top of her head like a brooding
chicken. And they would rattle away
in an old, one horsepower buggy. The
idea of a 'speedy young fella' in those
days was a boy! who had ribbons on
his buggy whip!
"Now the dashing high school Don
juan bounds up in a Ford and a trick-
belted suit, picks up the startlingly
dressed young lady and jogs off, hit-
ting on all two. yThere isn't much dif-
ference except that twenty years ago
the maid blushed--Now she shouts,
"Howdy, jim!"i
The M. A. T.iwas thrilled. He now
realized he could use the statue's re-
marks for an interview. jumping up,
he thanked the 'Reading Blacksmith,
who said, "Stop and talk to me again
sometime, or if you're ever confused
on a word. I intend to invent a new
dictionary when I am freed."
"Will you then some day be re-
leased ?" exclaimed the surprised Man.
The statue answered, "Yes, when a
Crosstown car passes that is not
crowded!"
lt was ll P. M. The M. A. T. COV-
ered his typewriter, which was still
hot. The interview was finished! But
the Man was left musing. He had
won an interview, but lost a friend.
The Reading Blacksmith had always
been a comfort to the Man: a silent
and sympathetic companion when he
needed one and the Man had always
thought of him as a strong and deep
characterg as firm and indomitable as
yon boulders, jutting from yon moun-
tainside, as the interviewers say of
XVilliam S. Hart.
The M. A. T. sighed resignedly,
"Sometimes it's a good thing these
strong silent men don't say muchg
you'd be disappointed if they did."

The editor sat slumped before his desk slowly masticating the end of his
"Dixon BB-305." He was vacantly staring straight ahead and his hands
folded on the desk before him slowly clasped and unclasped. He swallowed
hard two or three times and blinked rapidly as a tear slowly oozed out from
the corner of his eye and took its course down toward the end of his slightly
turned up nose. NVith a doleful sigh he came out of his reverie, and with a
hasty glance about the room, brushed the unmanly tear aside. Then sighing
still more deeply began slowly to push his "Dixon BB-305" across the page
before him, shaking his head from time to time.
What could ail him? Had he heard some of the comments about his efforts
in the last issue of the VVah Hoo? No! lt was none of these. The editor
was writing his last material for this paper, and he was loathe to do so, for
strange as it may seein he is fond of his department.

dramatics have not been confined to
the Senior Play, as the various mem-
bers have taken part in plays for Lit
throughout the semester.
While we have never pretended
to excel as social lions, we have
managed to have some mighty fine
times. As Luty says, "there are Z
kinds of good times. those with girls
and those without." We have seen
his judgment vindicated, having en-
joyed both. Our semester's calendar
has included a swimming party, and
several theatre parties Csaus les

Decoration Day picnic. a dinner
party, a dinner dance, and two or
three just plain parties.
Our good times as a club are not
going to end with graduation. They
are merely ending in Allegheny

career, we extend heartiest good

Although the Fadiula Club article

rapidly.
First, before giving you our social
activities for the past semester, we
wish the graduating class our best
wishes.
Now, that the preliminary part is
over, let us look over the semester's
activities. We have had two house
parties, one swimming party at the

hike, sleeping on the ground and
cooking our own meals like regular

this growing list, as all clubs should

Euterpean Trio
ln the fall of 19.21, a trio with Raymond
if liandi, violing Russell R. Cook, flute.
and lilla Stribrny, piano, organi7ed at
Allegheny High School as the 'tliuterpean
Trio." This trio had been working to-
gether for two years-their first public
performance given for Chapel in the fall
of 1019. The members then were R. C.
Randi. violin: R, li. Cook, flute: Alice
llolmes, piano. Their last performance
before the reorganization was at Com-
mencement, 1921, when R. Ii. Cook and
Alice Holmes graduated.
The trio played not only for school
activities, but for public recitals, at the
llfilliam Penn Hotel and with Ur. Koch
at the organ recital at Carnegie Nlusic
llall, April 9, 1922, rendering the following
program :
l. Herd Girl's Dream ...,....... rl. l.ubit.vky
Z. Romance from lfliclair .... I". li. Ilalevy
3. Nocturne 1 ................. lfrarz: Bchf
-1. livening on the Sea ........ Frou: Behr
On lune 5, 1922. the trio played in Alle-
gheny Chapel. rendering:
Swiss ldyl .....,............... .fl Lange
Serenade ...,.....,............. 11. E. Tit.
The last named piece was the first piece
which the trio played in 1919. june S
1932. will be probably the last appearance
in the Allegheny High School.
This trio has presented a grade of music
which is technically more difhcult anc
from the art standpoint more intellectua
than is usual among high school musicians
Allegheny High School has prophesiec
that a line future lies before the lfuterpear
Trio.

Lit
I am sure you will all agree with
me that the peppiest period of the
week is the Sth on Friday. It is true
that having Lit before lunch is quite
a hardship fto the actors especiallyj.
Every bell that rings reminds us of
the lunch room and the "contents
thereof 3" the sounds of walking and
talking in the hall add to the con-
fusion and usually just at the climax
of the recitation or play-ding-a-
ling-a-lingg and t-he whole thing is
spoiled. However, l think we have
adapted ourselves to this inconven-
ience and are getting more out of
Lit than we used to.
Then our programs-Our class.
abounds in great tragedians, and
tragediennes, comedians and come-
diennes, orators, musicians and de-
baters and they all gave excellent
examples of their ability. Our pro-
grams surely vvere spicy, for vari-
ety's the spice of life you know.
But when all's said and done -credit
should be givenl where credit is due
-therefore we tall heartily join in
giving Miss Hoyve a' vote of thanks
for all the benefits and entertainment
we have derived from "Our Lit."
The A. H. S. Band T
The 1922 Band of Allegheny High
School is recognized as one of the
best bands ever turned out in the
school. The organization of the
Band was very difficult, owing to
the fact that the Band is made up of
Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors and
Seniors, and that a schedule had to
ble m-ade up which would ht the
varying schedules of the Band mem-
bers.
The Band consists of forty-six
pieces, under the direction of Mr.
Ralph E. Blakeslee. and the manage-
ment of Robert C. Dixon and Harold
Morewood. The instrumentation of
the Band is as follows: Comets-
Keith Vlfildeson, Carl Dawson.
Harry Scarlatta. Edwin Ellis, .Toseph
Jarvis, Samuel Lichter. Charles
Low. John Thomas, William VVieg'
mang B Hat Tenor Saxaphones-
Edward Keil, Charles Berg, George

Yochem: Alto Saxaphones--Robert
Dixon, Harold Stangeeg Baritones-
Stanley Dodsworth, Kenneth Baird,

Donough, Ross Buck, Gilbert Sar-
verg A 1 Clarinets-Alvin Rudert,
John Jackson, Charles Herpich,
Ralph Ramacciotta, Maurie Cuda,

Cymbals--Edward Downes: Trom-
bones-Jacob Hill, Thomas West,
Harry Moreth, Ralph Welerg Tubas
-Harold Morewood, VVilliam Mar-
tin: Piccolo-Mark Ray: Flute-f
John Rathgeber.
The Band has played successfully
for the school several times this
year. It opened the Baseball Season
with a parade to Phipps Field. It
has played in Chapel twice, once for
Senior chapel, and once for the
Sophomore group. It was given the
honor. and was asked to represent
the Bell Telephone Co. in its annual
tournament of music at Motor
Square Garden. lt played for the
86 'I' H E KN
x
TAH HOU
Memorial Day parade. in which the
entire Allegheny High School
paraded to the Carnegie Music Hall.
The band has several more oppor-
tunities to represent the school in
the near future, namely, to play for
a corner stone laying in one of the
city's new schools, and to play in
ichapel again for the Seniors, and for
the Sophomores. The credit of or-
ganizing one of the most successful
Bands of Allegheny High School has
ever' had falls to Director Ralph E.
lilakeslee, and managers who aided
him, and the faithful boys that did
the playing.

Hi-Y Club
The Allegheny Hi-Y has just tin-
ished one of its most successful years.
The membership was larger than it
has been for several years. Under
the able guidance of Chief Xkilliams.
the club steadily and successfully
strove towards its object, namely. to
lift Allegheny higher. Over 200 fel-
lows were interviewed in M. Lf F.
week, a banquet and reception was
given to the football team, and later
in the year, to the basketball players.
One of the best events of the whole
year was a reunion held for all .Xllef
gheny Hi-Y members since the forma-
tion of the club in l9l2, with the
present members serving as hosts.
'lihe season's program included
many fine speakers, including llr. ll.
H. Davis, joe Mears, Reverend G. A.
Long, Mr. il. C. Mace, Mr. and Mrs.
VVill Cressy, Tom Anderson, R. A.
Mellowel, Herb Mcfracken and Mr.
Li. l'. Vlluertenberger. The otiicers
were: Childs Jamieson, presidentg
blames Neal, vice president, and .lohn
Gordon, secretary. The treasurer for
the first semesteriwas Robert Mckiune.
and at his graduation in February.
McThesney Adams was elected.
'lihe club is losing Chief XVilliams
next year, the pressure of his outside
work being too great for him to con-
tinue as club secretary. Mr. Rope.
from llultalo, will have charge next
year and is expected to keep the club
up to its present high standard.

Reverend M. B. Sloan
The reason that the class of 1922
dedicated this year book to .Reverend
Sloan is, of course, the fact that he
is the "Father of Allegheny High,"
having drawn up the resolution to
establish a high school in the old City
of Allegheny, now the :North Side.
But this is by no means Mr. Sloan's
only claim to a niche in the hall of
fame. To quote Mr. Sloan himself,
"There were but two things that kept
me from being president of the
United States-the nomination and
the election." But seriously speaking,
he was Captain of Company F, 105th
Illinois Infantry during the Civil War,
a member of the Board of Education
that established the first high school
in the City of Allegheny, and is at
present Chaplain of the Baptist Or-
phanage of this city. Mr. Sloan was
85 years "young" on the 13th of June,
and if the wishes of the students of
the Allegheny High School come true,
he will be spared for many more years
of usefulness and happiness.
Wanderlust
The surf breaks brave, milk white on
the wave,
A star looks down on its graveg
But a joy set free comes surging
through me Q
Aff I gaze on the silver sea,
Though the shimmering star sends its
beams afar
Engulfed in eternity.
The sea's breast gleams in the moon,
Like the light that lies in a gypsy's
eyes,
'Neath midnight skies in June.
The dark wave seems like a sea of
dreams,
And my soul it longs to see
The land that lies past those western
skies,
VVhere the crimson sunsets be.

YALE
To attempt to tell you, in a few
words, all that Yale offers and is, is
beyond me. Perhaps the best way
is to describe those things which
most impress a Freshman on arriv-
ing in New Haven. For Yale, you
know, is in New Haven, some seven-
ty miles, or two hours and a half
fsome say less, but that all dependsb
from New York. New Haven is on
Long Island Sound, has a beautiful
QD haxbor, lighthouses, and all those
marine effects.
Alighting, I mean getting off the
train in the New Haven Station of
the N. Y., N. H. 81 H. one balmy
summer afternoon in late September.
the twentieth to be exact. the towers
of New Haven rose before me.
QNote-They were not really towers.
I just said that because it,sounded
nicej. Unlike the arrival of Frank
Merriwell or Dick, his famous rela-
tive, or other famous Yale men, I
was not o'erleapt and -made rude
sport of by a crew of frenzied sophs,
for people regarded me not at all or
with a "VVell, look what the wind
blew in." Inquiring of a kind lady
at the Traveler's Bureau fahem!
cough here for effectj I found where
Yale was located and proceeded to
go there. For a fact, Yale has been
in New Haven some centuries but
several New Havenites looked at me
as if I were speaking Chinese when
'I' H E
WAH li UU 95
l asked the way to Yale. l"0h, he
means the college," said one intelli-
gent, keen looking youth, with a re-
ceding chin and a pearl tie-pin. Pro-
ceed-thenceward. I found the col-
lege, got a room, and next morning
proceeded into the entrance exam-
inations. I emerged a week later,
with my status as a Yale man still
undetermined. Then came a session
with the Board of Admissions and
finally admittance.
Then I embarked on my college
career, full steam up. Big Organ-
ization Meeting for Freshmen! The
Dean, the Registrar and all the big
professors in attendance! Much
solemnityl Much interest! Much
attention to the learned Dean's re-
marks and then Rules! The book of
Rules they gave us could have made
Mister Hoyle sit up all night to think
up something better. Having been
told all we needed to do to uphold
Yale traditions and to stay in school,
we were released with schedules and
lists of books to be bought.
Once outside, we had to pass
through a crowd of fervent students
selling everything from subscrip-
tions to the "Yale Daily News" to
chapel seats. But a kind, patient
smile of resignation and lofty pur-
pose, and a gentle, but firm refusal
usually turned aside a rabid sales-
man.
About the second night after
school starts, the Freshmen-Sopho-
more rush takes place on the old
Yale Campus. In all seriousness,
the campus is the finest part of Yale:
great elm trees, the grass, the old
fence, carved, covered with so many
initials, the walls and the old ivy-
clad buildings bring a slight appre-
ciation of all that Yale has and is.
On the Campus is Connecticut Hall,
the oldest Yale building. It is a
dormitory used by sophomores.
Nathan Hale. Yalelgraduate. roomed
here. Today, each of the inmates
claims that he has Nathan's room.
"Some rooms for Nathan," says I,
The Rush starts about 8 o'cloclr.
The Sophomores have a fence to
guard and the Freshmen have one.
The idea is for the Freshmen to cap-
ture the Sophomore fence. The
Sophomores do not want it to be
captured. Result? Collision. Neither
rules of International Law nor those
of the Marquis of Queensbury are
used. In fact, no rules are needed,
for the object to be attained is easily
understood, undertaken--sometimes,
undertaker.
Night has now fallen. Nobody
heard it? Well, it fell. Flaring torch
lights cast a lurid, flickering light
over the mass of struggling, tum-
bling young Americans, seriously in-
tent on their 'business at hand. Oc-
casionally, a protesting disheveled
figure is dragged from the mill by a
group of high-minded, good-hearted
boys who believe the overheated
youth should have a nice cold
shower. So farward to the shower,
and again, the youth yells. brings a
mob of allies to his side, and the cap-
turers are the captured and the show-
erers get the bath. And so it goes,
till everybody has enough.
Also, those big football games!
Imagine the Bowl, filled with some
80,000 people, the keenest looking
girls ever, and color, noise, action,
life. The Princeton game when we
twisted the Tiger's tail and sent him
fresh from a victory over Harvard
down to defeat!
The studes went wild. Led by
the University Band, there was a
snake dance. Nothing in this world
is more glorious, joyous, and gener-
ally exhilarating than a snake dance.
Try it sometime. The whirling,
swirling mass swings every way, in
and out, back and forth, little know-
ing where it's going and caring less,
94 'li H li XX
'AH
H U U
and above all rises the wildest up-
roar of songs and cheers that ever
fell to the lot of God's heavens to
receive.
And then those football rallies in
Wookey Hall to practice songs and
cheers. The cheer leader yells for
a loud one, and gets it. Then he
announces the football captain will
talk. Mac Aldrick, all-American
half-back and captain tries to, and
is overwhelmed by the rising tide of
cheers that will not be stopped. He
promises that he and his men will
give all they have to bring victory
to old Eli. Cheers break loose again.
Some more songs and cheers. The
meeting is over. After all this up-
roar and noise, come many quiet
hours put on the books, for studies
I
are a stern necessity.
There are so many, many things
I have not mentioned that should
not be slighted. If you want the
"do-pe," the Registrar of Freshmen
will give you a lot of it-all about
Self-Help Scholarships, and all those
not-so-interesting but essential de-
tails.
Finally, the biggest thing Yale has
is her spirit. It is an intangible
something but it is real, it exists. It
brings Alumni back from all corners
of the globe and keeps alive count-
less Alumni Associations. The chief
attributes of the spirit of Yale are
cooperation, tight, and loyalty to
God, to country and to Yale. '

THE VVAH HOO 97
E D I T O R I A L S
A Defense of the Flapper
Who and what is this much-talked
of person-the American flapper?
Most countries have a special name
by which they designate young girls
in their teens, the are called fiedglings,
buds, debs, and what not. In our
own country, we call them Flappers.
However, "VVhat's in a name ?"
Of course the fiapper is being criti-
cized today, as was the bud, or the
debutante, or the fledgling, of 25
years ago. Does the flapper deserve
all this criticism? Did the debutante
deserve it 25 or 50 or 75 years ago?
The girl of today is, fundamentally,
no different from the girls of any
past generation.
It is natural in the period following
a war, for the youth of the country
especally, to break from the bonds of
restraint. They become gay and care-
free as a natural reaction from the
depression caused by the war. Who
cared to dance and play when our
boys were being shot down on for-
eign fields? And now the pendulum
has swung back! Is the flapper noth-
ing but a candy-eating, soda-drinking,
empty-headed person with no ambi-
tions, no ideals, no serious purpose in
life? No! No! 'No! Is she the
sophisticated, self sufiicient, heartless
creature that the older generations
consider her? Again, No!
If the flapper does fail to take her
responsibility as seriously as her
mother did 25 years ago, whose fault
is it? Her parents are to blame. They
do not thrust family responsibility on
these young people-how can they ex-
pect them to develop a sense of respon-
sibility? Parents, teachers, and pas-
tors know so little about the younger
generation that they do not build up
intimate relations with them. As one
modern flapper explained the situa-
tion, "Mother, you just don't under-
stand."
Mothers, you should understand-
your Happer daughter should find in
you her closest confidante.
Teachers, you should understand-
your flapper pupils should find in you
a congenial friend, not merely an in-
structor.
Pastors, you should understand-
the flappers should find in you their
sympathetic adviser.
The responsibility is yours, you
older generation. The flapper has
come to stay-what are you going to
do about her and for her? Are you
merely going to criticize her or will
you attempt to understand her and to
guidr her?
Vocational Guidance
A very large proportion of the
high school pupils of Pittsburgh are
now training for "the game of life"
with a more definite aim than was
common in former years. VVith the
help of the Counselors they are dis-
covering their vocational tendencies
and desires, and planning their
courses to better advantage. VVe at
Allegheny thoroughly appreciate the
efforts of Mr. Porter, our Counselor.
Are you making the most of your
opportunities, along these lines, to
get ready for the game? Do you
know what position you are to oc-
cupy on the team after graduation?
Don't be disappointed if you do not
like the first thing you try. There
98 'l' ll li W A H H O O
are several things you are capable of
doing and succeeding in. Make as
many contacts as you can, then elim-
inate, choose, and concentrate.
The Public School Employment
Service, 403-404 Nixon Building.
Sixth Avenue, is doing field work for
our Vocational Guidance Depart-
ment to help you in your employ-
ment problem. Those who are car-
rying on this work find in their con-
tacts with -business and industrial
men and situations, that the most
valuable assets which young people
can possess when starting to work
are honesty, alertness, dependable-
ness, together with adaptability,
careful training, and a strong person-
ality. The employers are more and
more demanding high school gradu-
ates, possessing these assets. Plan
carefully and finish your high school
course. A diploma is not an indica-
tion of great mental achievement, so
much as it is of the accomplishment
of the task you have set out to per-
form. It pays to train for the game Y"
A LOVE SONNET
The silent woods in mists are bathed

The sun has long since sunk beyond

No friendly bird from leafy covert

And e'en the moon exhales a jaun-

All day the bubbling brook gave ine
delight.
I watched it leap the rocks in count-
less rills,
But now its distant lonely murmur

That happy mood that was so blithe
and bright.
Could I but from my tortured sight
erase
The shadow which a rival's figure

To look again upon her lovely face,

unclose.
But while that threat'ning shadow
keeps its place

OUR DRAMATIC ACH IEVEMENTS
The dramatic history of the class
of '22 has been a glorious one. As
her representatives have starred on
the athletic Held and Hoor, so they
have advanced the art of Shakespeare
and jonson in A. H. S.
As usual, however, the class dicl
not appear much before the public
until its last semester. But when it
did it came with the proverbial
"bang" The members were well pre-
pared from their intensive training in
Miss Howe's classes to take up the
work where the preceding class left it.
They were first called upon to co-oper-
ate with the Teachers' Association in
producing a masque, "The Wlasterf'
The success of this undertaking was
largely due to the tireless efforts of the
class.
VVhen the school was again at nor-
mal after the irregularities caused by
the masque, the seniors turned to the
task of furnishing programs for Lit.
Any member of the Literary Society
can Well testify to the unexcelled re-
sults of these efforts, for the quality
of the declamations, recitations, mono-
logues and even orations, is without
equal in the annals of tlie society.
Also the Oral Expression classes pre-
pared a number of plays for I.it.

"DEMAND AND ATTEND BETTER PLAYS"--Mr. Kenyon
"I wonder who that good looking
girl can be?" muttered the Man
About Town as he watched the dis-
missal of Schenley High. "Kier Boyd
says there is one pretty girl at Schen-
ley. Maybe that is she."
A dignified, thoughtful young man
came down the hall. "A senior, no
doubt," surmised the M. A. T. "A
senior of great promise."
"Pardon me !" said the Man step-
ping forward, "Could you direct me
to Mr. Kenyon ?"
"Mr, Kenyon ?" repeated the digni-
fied young man with surprise. "I am
he."
The M. A. T. mentally apologized,
but Mr. Kenyon would never realize
he had been mistaken for a high
school senior.
"So you are the interviewer from
the Wah Hoo ?" questioned Mr. Ken-
yon. "Let us go to my office."
Seated in the office, embarrassed by
Emerson's critical gaze from the cor-
ner and disapproved of by Thackeray,
who looked down in cool superiority,
the M. A. T. began:
"As president of the Pittsburgh
Centre of the Drama League of Amer-
ica, Mr. Kenyon, could you inform us
of some of the causes for the deca-
dence of the modern drama ?"
"The main reasons," he answered
immediately, "are the lack of good
playwrights and the acquisition of
wealth by an uncultured set who now
occupy the orchestra instead of the
gallery. Their only demand is the
privilege of keeping time with one
foot to the 'Won't You Write U-s a
Letter' song, sung by the 'ladies of
the chorus,' as they hold out pencil:
and pads with stagey coquettishness
This set now controls the theatre, anc
in catering to them the trusts' have
lowered the standards."
"Don't you think the war might bi
responsible in a Way?" ventured th'
M. A. T. "The war is the scapegoa
for everything, from crime waves ti
flappersf'
"Yes," laughed Mr. Kenyon. "Ni
one can disprove it. And, in trutli
the war, or the reaction from it, i
partly guilty for the flood of foolisi
T H E NY A H H U O l0I
farces and superficial musical come-
dies usurping the stage today. It is a
natural result, for tensity is generally
succeeded by laxityg it has been so in
the past. These are the main reasons
why today instead of seeing Ibsen's
'Doll's House' we see the 'Country
House' of Dick Harrington.. Dick
and his roadster and tenor voice and
tennis racquet are entertaining the
ladies of the chorus, now 'society
debutantesf Instead of Moliere's
'Middle Class' we see the 'Middle
Room,' where all sorts of antics and
acrobatics last through three hours
because some slightly befuddled gen-
tleman enters another gentleman's
apartments."
"This truly seems to be a period of
deterioration in the theatre," said the
M. A. T. "Does the drama flourish
and fall in cycles like music and litera-
ture, M-r. Kenyon ?'.'
"It does," answered he, "but not
so often and so decidedly as the other
arts. In fact, there-have been only
about three great eras in the history
of the stage. Its first, during which
the drama grew in the hands of men
like Sophocles, ZEschylus and Eu-
ripedes, the Golden Age of Athens.
has in some respects never been
equaled. Since that time there have
been only two great sustained rises
in the theatre-in an eon of over two
thousand years! The first came in
England at the end of the Renaissance
and was led by Marlowe, Shakespeare
and jonsong the second did not occur
until nearly 1900, and was fostered
mainly by Jones, Ibsen and Pinero.
And it is a strange fact that each of
the three ages was lead by three mas-
ter dramatists. However, there were
several masterpieces created between
these renaissances, as 'Everymanf the
greatest of the many moral and mir-
acle plays of medieval times, and Gold-
smith's 'She Stoops to Conquerf But
these plays mark no Age of Drama:
they are like Gray's Elegy, written
during a period of poetic decline."
By this time Mr. Kenyon had re-
ceded deeper ini his chair, while the
conversational sort of interview had
caused the M. A. T. to forsake his
business-like attitude Qwhich is a lot
harder to assume on a spring day,
anyhow.j Then in a voice far from
the clear, crisp ltone of an alert re-
porter, the Man, remarked, "You say
there are but two peaks in the Range
of Drama? Then surely there must
have been valleys of decline------of de-
teriorationf'
"Sounds like Pilgrinfs Progress,"
smiled Mr. Kenyon. "Peaks of Prog-
ress and Valleys of Decline and De-
spair. Yes. there were many Sloughs
of Despondency. Can you remember
the old Bijou, now l.oew's Lyceum?"
"Remember ?" exclaimed the Man.
"No one could ever forget the Bijou."
"These plays like 'Bertha, the Seam-
stress,"' continued Mr. Kenyon,
"which were made up of an invalid
mother who never complainedg a hero
with an iron profile and big enough to
look impressive when he knocked
down the villain with a 'Take that,
you dirty dog l' g' and Bertha---torn be-
tween dishonor and saving her
mother's health. But the beautcous
Bertha always saved both."
The M. A. T. laughed and an-
swered: "And the 'feature melo-
dramas' that were built around a
single mechanical device, the saving
of Sadie from the sawmill, or Thel-
ma's thrilling release from the rail-
road tracks to which she was tied as
the toy train galloped like a glacier
across the stage. And whenever the
hero did not quite unloose the hero'-
ine's bonds in time, the gigantic jug-
gernaut considerately chugged with its
nose in her side until the Seigfried
frantically finished his death-defying
deed. These plays required a hero
102 T H E VV A H H O O
who could heave his chest and a vil-
lain who could sneer and leer and
rant, and wear a big black mustache
-and whisper loud enough for even the
gallery to hear. And he simply had
to be able to leave the stage with
cackles of fiendish glee and rantings
of diabolical rage. VVhat a terrible
condition in the theatre," sympathized
the M. A. T., "when a man was a vil-
lain if guised in a two-quart hat and
-a hit and run suit, and a hero if clad
only in working clothes. The stage
of today is 100 per cent better!" de-
clared the Man, with all the effotism
of his age.
"Like all adolescents," murmured
Mr. Kenyon, half aloud, drawing up
from the depths of his chair. He then
added, "The stage of today is not
much better. What are the plays that
most people go to see? 'Scandals of
'22,' 'Hello, Hortensel' and 'Up in
Ruthie's Room.-' And instead of
M0liere's 'Don Juan' or 'The Middle
Class,' we see nothing but shows like
'Maid in America' with the chorus
moving to and fro in the old one, two,
three step. while Dick sings 'I Love
Them All' And it is a poor reHection
on Pittsburgh and America that the
b
'Bat,' a claptrap. antiquated melodrama
with slamming doors and oh:-stage
cries, and 'l.ightin',' a comedy-drama
with all the sympathy-stirring ingre-
dients used in melodramas of the day
we were laughing at, should be the
two most popular plays in America
today."
"The old melodramas are not dead.
They are living in these photoplays
that press agent as 'Tremendous Love-
dramas in which Smiles, Tears and
lrfeart-Throbs are welded together by
a Master Hand !' No, just because we
see how foolish our grandparents were
does not prove that we shall not be so
to our own grandchildren."
Then with a cordial handshake and
a pleasant word of parting Mr. Ken-
yon closed the interview.
The office grew dim in the gather-
ing dusk.
Emerson turned, and said to Byron,
"The modern plays are poor, but there
is Compensation in the younger dra-
matists such as OlNeil."
"Man marks the earth with ruin,"
said the cynical Byron.
"1 see where I made my mistake in
writing for the theatre," sighed
Shakespeare. "The audience must not
think."
Shelly, alone, looked out of the
window, dreamily. "The heaven is
mauve and the crescent moon is like
a scimitar in the east. The vault is
becoming violet-a deeper and deeper
purple. The silver stars shimmer like
the points on the spears of the gods.
And there, beneath the opalescent
glow of yonder are light, paces that
boy interviewer. He has been waiting
half an hour for a car."
'FEE BEE.

ary, but for a time was hindered by
the masque. However, they Finally
started to work and from the list of
possibilities chose for the senior play
the comedy, "Come Out of the Kitch-
en," as dramatized by A. E. Thomas
from the story of A. D. Miller.
Three performances were given, a
matinee Vtlednesday, June 21. and two
evening performances, the succeeding
Thursday and Friday. All three per-
formances went off without a hitch
and were well received by large audi-
ences.

The plot is the story of the attempt
of the four children of an old South-
ern family to raise sufficient funds to
defray the expenses of their father
who is in Europe for his health, and
to pay the mortgage on their home.
To do this they are forced to rent their
quaint old mansion to a rich North-
erner. The Northerner rents it only
on condition that it be equipped with
a staff of white servants, and herein
lies our tale, for the servants fail to
appear when wanted and in despera-
tion the brothers and sisters decide to
act as the servants until the real
estate agent, an old friend of the fam-
ily, and admirer of the older daughter,
can secure others.
Julia Hill played the part of the
beautiful Southern girl, masquerading
as cook and trying to keep her, broth-
ers and sister on peaceful terms with
the guests, in a most charming man-
ner.
ln making the production of the

Batter Up
South proved to be no match for
A. H. S. and were walloped, ll-l.
Considering that this was the first
game our team played fine ballg
Schmidt pitching up to standard, the
South team got only four hits.
Cochran and Rooney did some line
hitting. Ask "Andy" about his fa-
mous homer. South got their run in
the first on a single by their lead-off
man who stole second and scored on
a double. Allegheny came right
and got 2 runs. "Audy" got a free
pass to First, Art sacrificed, Alf
singled and went to second on a wild
throw to get him, "Andy" scoring.
Van then singled, scoring Alf. ln
the second Berger doubled and
scored when "Andy" was safeon the
short stop's wild heave. He wentito
second and from there on home on a
couple more wild throws.
Rooney's double followed by Hig-
gins', brought in one run and
"Audy's" triple made the 2nd in the
sixth.
In the eighth we ran wild and
when the smoke cleared away five
runs had been scored, making a total
of ll.

We Put the 'Brakes on Them!
Allegheny severely trounced West-
inghouse to the tune of 10 to 0 at
the D. S. 8: A. C. park on May Sth.
This was rather a dry game al-
though the field was in an aqueous
condition.
It was a pure walkaway for Alle-
gheny, Westinghouse men on only
two 'occasions reaching the third
sack. Two home runs on Alle-
gheny's part, one by Burger and the
other by Rooney served to liven an
otherwise dead game.
Rooney's home run in the fifth
with the bases full, was the high spot
of the game. Up until this time it
was anybody's game, but after
Rooney lost the ball, Allegheny had
the game in her pocket.
On to the championship!

"T he Thrill That Comes Gnce in a Lifetime" 1 '
"Ain't it a grand and glorious feel-
ing, Alf ?"
Al Schmidt entered the Hall of
Fame by pitching a "Perfect Game"
against Fifth Ave. on the Soho Field
on Monday, May the 22nd, Only 6
of the Fifth players got a whiff at
the ball for 21 of them carried their
bats back to the bench.
The game was one-sided, as the
score, 20-0, shows but up till the last
two innings when we gathered in a
dozen runs. Fifth held us with the
exception of the fifth when we gath-
ered 7 markers.
Triples by Alf and Van Horn and
a homer by Stotz were the hitting
features. "Audie" Cochran connect-
ed for four safe wallops, one of them
a double. On his other two trips to
the plate he got sacriiice hits, so all
in all it wasn't a bad clay's work.

110 THE WAH HOU
In Which We Uphold Our Record
Gnce more Alf's trusty wing led
us to victory, backed by the war
clubs of the champions of the city.
for this 15-0 victory gives us that
honor.
Only one Schenley man reached
first base, and he didn't hit-Alf just
passed him for "Good Luck."
There were not many features
only that our "Old Reliable" Van
Horn hit a homer with the bases
full-and that is not all-the next
time up he hit a double with three
on the paths. A pretty good day's'
work for him. He deserves credit.
Allegheny High can now boast of
the City Championship for Seven
Consecutive years.

This One Was Great
Butler come to Bellevue on the
2nd of June to defeat Allegheny in
the first game of the VV. P. I. A. L.
elimination series, but they were
sadly disappointed, Allegheny win-
ning the game by a score of 12 to 0.
Al Schmidt, our star, pitched a
fine game, having 16 strikeouts and
allowing only l walk and 3 hits.
His work at the bat was note-
worthy also as he had four hits,
among them a triple and a double.
His team mates starred at the bat
also, McCaw having a home run and
Van Horn and Stotz each having
doubles. The whole team altogether
had 13 hits.
.Allegheny gave Al time support,
only one misplay being charged
against them.
Butler played loose in the field,
having 5 errors which allowed two
or three of the 12 runs.
Their pitchers were ineffective,
giving ten walks and allowing thir-
teen hits.

Champs Again
Well we brought home the
"bacon" for fair this time, by de-
feating McKeesport High School at
Forbes Field on VVednesday, june
7, 1922.
By doing this we annexed the NN.
V. I. A. I.. Championship for the
seventh consecutive time. Al
Schmidt pitched perfect ball, allow-
ing only one hit, and striking out
twelve men in nine innings. He was
given excellent support by his team-
mates, only one error being charged
against them. .
The Blue and Red scored a tally
in the first frame, after Cochrane
was out. McCaw fanned, but was
safe at first when the catcher missed
the ball on the third strike. Schmidt
don-bled down the left field foul line.
McCaw speeding over the plate for
the first run of the game. In the
sixth inning, Rooney the first man
up hit the first ball pitched for a
home run. lt was a clean hit, the
ball rolling almost to the Hag-pole
in center field.
The other runs were made in the
eighth inning after two were out.
McCaw walked, went to second on
a wild pitch and to third on
Schmidt's infield hit. Chase then
fanned the next two batters, Rooney
and Van Horn, but Wittmer's Hy
fell safe between Sarpe and McAllis-
ter in right Heldg Stotz singled, ac-
counting for the third run of the
inning. Higgins was fanned by
Chase, ending the inning.

TRACK
They're Off !
The Allegheny High School
"tracksters" got a flying start by vir-
tue of a 69-39 victory over South
High.
The first meet showed a well bal-
anced team. No one man stood out
as the big point getter, a condition
that is more desirable than having
two or three stars do all the work.
We have one man who has a good
chance to break the interscholastic
record in his eventg viz., Lutz in the
high jump.
Spotts and Yochan took third in
the 100 yd. and 50 yd. respectively
but did not get their points owing
to the rule permitting only 2 men
from one school to place.

A Feast on Fifth 1
ln about as one-sided a track meet
as ever took place, we Walloped Fifth
00-19 at Phipps, May 2nd.
We took first in every event ex-
cept the 50 yd. clash for sophomores:
Van Horn with a First in the discus
and shot, and Luty with first in the
75 yd. dash for Seniors and the high
jump and Ches. Schoemaker with
Hrst in the 100 and 200 were the big
Scorers.
Van Horn gave promise of break-
ing the record for the discus with
a heave of 102.10. Luty completely
outclassed the jumpers as did Bill
Howells in the mile. Ches. Schoe-
maker surely stepped in the dashes
and I'll dolf my chapeau to the man
that shows him his heels.
For the second time the mile re-
lay went to us by forfeit.
Both South and Fifth failed to
place teams against us in the event.
Evans, Durbin, Weinman and
Kammieur Hnislhed third in their
events but owing to the fact that a
school can only place two men they
failed to get tlieir points. Tough
luck fellows! i -

THE WAI-l HOU 121
She had blue, blue eyes as the sum-
mer skies
And hair of a golden sheen
A baby stare, the innocent air
Of a violet that's bloomed unseen.
A young man met and said, "l'll bet
l'm the only man she's known,
She is so pure, so shy, demure,
I'll win her for my own."
He called all right, that very night.
With a firm determination
And found her sitting so shyly sweet
ln the midst of her relations.
"This maid I must gain, for 'tis very
plain
A sheltered lily is she:
I must be kind and always mind
To guard her tenderly."
And night after night he curbed his
love,
Not daring to hold her hand,
But her guileless touch Cfor he loved
her muchj,
The lires of his passion fanned.
So at last he told in wavering tones
The story of his devotion,
She raised her eyes in shy surprise
At the depth of his emotion.
He gave from his vest, what he loved
best, '
The badge of old A. B. C.
She modestly blushed and her voice
was hushed
As he clasped her tenderly.
The young man sighed, "What a
pure young bride,"
As he pressed her to his chest.
But he failed to see that S. O. pin
Concealed in her lacy vest.
By AGONY.
It isn't everyone who can be sec-
retary to the business manager of
the VVah Hoo, is it, Mabel?
We suggest that Mr. Porter cap-
ture Childs Jamieson for his next
tag campaign, as he seems to be
fond of flowers,
Speaking of ihitiations, ask Jack-
son, Bigelow of Higgins how they
liked their reception in Ingomar.
Beauty is only skin deep.
Freckles are apt to 'be more genu-
ine than blushesp.
Will some one ask jane McCorkle
how she puts her spit curl up?
Jud Finkins says folks often try
to speak kindlyi of a bad show be-
cause they hate to admit they
haven't had their money's worth.
New York is getting so crowded
that soon we shall have to stand in
line before being robbed.
Prof.: Do ,you know where
shingles were first used?
Fresh: I'd rather not tell.
She: I wouldn't marry you for a
million dollars.
He: But I have live millions.
She: Oh, well, that's different.
Popular Sets - Radio, Social,
Onion, Sun.
First sorority sister: I'm sorry I
couldn't have tea with you, dear:
but, you see, er--I had a class.
Second sorority sister: Yes, darl-
ing, I saw him: some class.

the pug fretrouseej nose will find
that she looks best in one of these

new lodger as he came down to
breakfast the first morning.
"Good morning, sir," she wheezed.
"Good morning," said the lodger.
"I hope you've had a good night's
rest," said the landlady.
"No," said the man. "Your cat
kept me awake."
"Oh,', she replied, tossing her
head, "I suppose you're going to ask
me to have the poor thing killed."
"No, not exactly," came the reply,
"but would you very much mind

Miss McCreery still thinks that
Pepper's fight for senator was very
hotly contested.
The Mystery.
It was the year 2008. The main
street of Fitchburgh, West Va., was
crowded with people of every nation-
ality. Bells were sounded, whistles
were blowing, street-cars jangling-
all helping to do their share in the
confusion. Little street urchins
were yelling at the top of their
voices, the grown-ups were jostling
each other to get a look at the object
of mystery, and on the whole every
thing was bustle and confusion.
Everybody was asking everybody
else what they were looking at. Was
it a fire, a hold-up, a robbery, a mur-
der, or what was it? Finally a man
in front yelled at the top of his voice.
"lt's a horse."
Hvmr HARRrsoN, IOH.
The Bumble Bee.
The bumble bee goes buzzing 'round,
And makes a kind of lazy sound,
As if he wasn't carin' much-
Or clidn't have much spunk. or such.
But you just get him angry once,
.Xml then von'll Find out who's the
dunce.
Yon'll think some dynamite ex-
plodedg
And you'll be right: his wr-apon's
loaded. -5
You can talk about your artists who
pointed long ago,
Of Raphael, Turner, Reubens, Hunt
and Michael Angelo,
They were near divine you say: their
paintings were sublime!
But for true beauty l will choose
Coles Phillips every time.
l need say nothing more of him, for
everybody knows
That he's the guy that paints those
ads for girls in Holeproof Hose.

Myself and Me
l,11l the best pal I ever had,
I like best to be with meg
I like to sit and tell myself
Things confidentially.
I often sit and tell me
If I shouldn't or I should,
And I find that my advice to me
ls always pretty good.
I talk with me and walk with mc,
And show me right and Wrong,
I never knew how well myself
And me could get along.
lt's great to know yourself
And have a pal that's all your own 3
To be such company for yourself,
You're never left alone.
just get together with yourself
And trust yourself with you,
And you'll be surprised how well
yourself
VVill like you if you do.
First Senior: VVhat shall we do?
Second Senior: I'll spin a coin.
If it's heads we'11 go to the movies:
tails we go to the dance, and if it
stands on edge we'll study.
Reporter: l've got a good piece
of news here this morning. I found
a person who has been confined to
his room his entire life.
Editor: Good, send it up. Who
is it?
Reporter: W'hy, a three-day-old
baby down at our house.
"Willy was Dr. Cutter so severely
reprimanded by the club librarian?"
"They caught him absent minded-
ly removing the appendix from the
book he was reading."

tApologies to Byronj
There is a pleasure in the drawing
room,
There is a rapture on the dancing
floor,
There is society where none in-
trudes,
By fragrant ferns, far from the
trombone's roarg
I love not Man the less but VV'oman
more,
From these our interviews in which
I steal
All that I may-all I have stol'n
before:
To mingle with the debutantes and
feel
What I can ne'er express, yet cannot
all conceal.
Number 4
We grow a-weary of women,
We grow a-weary of wit:
We pay our dull duty to ravishing
beauty
But soon we grow tired of it:
We grow a-weary of kisses-
O. pity the last caress,
When he looks in her eyes
And mechanically lies
With a heart full of dull distress.
Tm: REE.
We are deeply worried about
Katherine Sauer and Louis Lusten-
berger. Cause of worry-such a
long postponement. 'Fess up, chil-
dren. we may be able to help you.
Clergynian: Iive brought back
the second car I bought from you
last week. It's too obstreperous.
Dealer: What's wrong? Can't
you run it?
Clergyman: Not if I remain a
minister.

The teacher asked her class to ex-
plain the word "bachelor" and was
very much amused when a little girl
said, "A bachelor is a very happy
man."
"Where did you learn that ?" asked
the teacher.
"Father told me," came the reply.

Teacher: James, write on the

At a southern railway station it
is the custom of the darkies to sell
chicken-patties and other delicacies
to passengers. A passenger who had
enjoyed a patty was leaning out of
the Window to buy another, asked of
the dusky salesman:
"VVhere do you get your chick-
ens ?"
The darky rolled his eyes. "You
all f'om de No'th, ain't you, sah?"
he queried.
"Yes," was the reply, "But why do
you ask that?"
"Cause sah, no gem'1'm'n f'om de
South ever asks a nigger whor he
gits his chicken."--The Argonaut.
