So now we take great pleasure, ladies and gentlemen, in introducing to you the Class of '17, It is a great class. It is a large class. It is the largest class to have yet graduated from the Altoona High School. It is also the best. The purpose of this Animal is the same as all other Annuals, and that is to put in permanent form the activities, social, athletic and otherwise. of our school year. If we have succeeded in putting up a book, not that will be read and then thrown away, but a book that will be read and then preserved as an accurate record of this Class of '17, then we shall be satisfied as having succeeded. Pk vt wk :ic ff :s ak PF vs As a class we have the right to be proud, for we have in- augurated several new customs. One of them was our method of creating greater friendship between teacher and student, as wit- ness the several affairs of the Senior Science Department throughout the year. Another was the republication of a monthly school paper and establishing an exchange with other schools. Our hats are off to the staff of the "Maroon and NVhite." Then, too, we have the right to be proud of our athletic activities. The Class of '17 has furnished more athletes than any other class since the Altoona High School has been established. This is a remarkable record. It has been the cause, too, of a most successful season in all lines, a11d one sport was renewed last fall that had not been heard of for many years in this school. We refer to football. It is true only one game was played, but it was a start, at least, and now it is up to the following classes to carry it along to a further success and to bring our dear old Alma Mater to a standing of importance among the secondary schools of Pennsylvania. lk Pk if 'F if il: 'F PF ll' Then we havde to thank the School Board for increased ath- letic facilities. Ry securing a gymnasium they have placed Al- toona High School on the map as a school Hrst not only in scholastic instruction, but Hrst in athletics. May the following classes keep this record just as clean. , if Pk :sf Ik wx 21: wr xg we In the social sphere, finally, we have not been outclassed. Starting early in our Junior year, a succession of events took place that will long be remembered by every one there. In our Senior year many receptions and dances were held, until at last the time passed swiftly toward Commencement and our final departure from the A. H.

That representation of the human creation is known today as the Class of '1T. It was after we had discarded our long dresses and baby shoes that we began to prepare to play our part on the stage of life. The Goddess of Fate has done wonders to help the progress of humanity, but when, through her undiscovered artiiices, she succeeded in the uniting for further preparation those honorable personages who compose the Class of '17-when she had done this, I repeat, she accomplished one of the finally decisive steps in the progress of socialistic achievements, for this class, besides its bright hope for a glorious future has recorded itself in the social and educational history of the last four years. In the autumn of the memorable year 1913, when the summer sun was retreating to a more favorable region to the south, we entered the monstrous halls of this, our Alma Mater, to begin our primary course in preparation for our respective parts on the stage aforementioned. lYell do I remember that First yearg a year of work and yet a year of play 3 one of failures and yet characterized by success. The early days of that year were stamped in the memories of all by an unconquerable sense of fearg we doubted our ability to cope with the big things of life-which included dictionaries and certain men. Nevertheless, through all the trials of that year of introduction. with all the fears of authority in the persons of Seniors and teachers, through all this, I say, we lived successfully, like the frontiersmen of '48, in forging a passage through the unknown regions. :ef as we ff X . iz: :if sf wk 1914-15-Our Sophomore year was really but a continuation of the preceding year. As a matter of fact, the introduction time was past, and we strutted through the halls with as much dignity as that intended to be conveyed by the most humble of the faculty. lYe had discovered the characteristics of our surrouudingsg if we had occasion to visit the third floor. we took some one-fully qualified-along as our interpreterg if our daily pilgrimages led to the second floor, we learned to respect the advices of a certain short oneg or if the path of duty lay on the first floor, we were directed and hastened on our journey by the top of the yellow rod. the student's SIGN POST. :if ai: wk if if :zz if ak an The beginning of the war was not the only great historical event that marked this particular year apart as different from its fellows. October shall ever be remembered as the month of the momentous botanical expedition to Brush mountain, an event of school-wide importance. A second expedition of the same nature to that beautiful place known as Lakemont Park also set forth the remarkable conditions by which we were surrounded. These unusual events were scarcely impressed upon our minds till the honeysuckles and "skippers" proclaimed the term's end. Pk Pk Pls Dk Pk Pk Pk lk Then, on the seventh day of September, 1915, began the real history of our high school life-social and intellectual. XYe were actual students, The shepherd with his slender staff no longer -l 5 Srniur Eiatnrg-Qlnntinurh impeded our flights by "Here, boy!" but he called his sheep by name. VVhen the weak fell by the wayside, the shepherd's pro- tecting cry rang out: "This way, Harry, watch your step." I say we were real students. And then the leaders of the Class of '17 began to appear, we saw and heard our orators-the future presidents 5 we listened intensely to the theories advanced by our scientists, we gazed in wonder as cards and coins disappeared at the motions of our magicians, and the lawyers, theologians and poets sprang into prominence. :of 4: fr -of Pk w- :sc ar fr And then, on October 2, 1916, we entered upon the last lap of our sojourn in our Alma Mater. This was the only really important year of our life. After a peaceful period of several months our boys were suddenly aware of a strange vision before their startled gaze. One day the girls took it into their heads to become Freshies again-in appearance since they could not in fact. S0 they let their hair, which had been done up beautifully before, loose again, with the aforementioned result. And, not to be outdone, the boys next day appeared in Picadilly and Buster Brown "Clubs" 'F lk 4' Ik lk PK Ik bk lk Not much later the Juniors desired to declare to the rest of the school that they were still present. Deeming the posting of notices to be the best method of securing their ends, the Juniors greeted Mr. Robb and teachers and students one morning with green " '18's" painted on the sidewalks around the school and with a maroon " '18 " painted on a white cloth flying serenely from the top of the chapel roof. Here was a time for action, so our president climbed up the roof and brought the banner down. and in ten minutes every Senior boy had a piece of that flag. We were desirous of and intent upon wearing those pieces into chapel, but upon being kindly warned of the consequences, we said we would think it over. The pieces were NCT worn. How- ever, we had one satisfaction. Shortly afterward the stores near the school were being scoured for turpentine and scrub brushes- by Juniors-and, as I said, we had the satisfaction of seeing the Juniors scrubbing the pavement about the school. That sight alone compensated us for our not being able to wear the frag- ments of flag. sf sf if af fo- if wk an an And thus the year went on. af :nf ff 4: an rl: wk ak Pk So now, at this the close of our Senior year and of our High School pleasures, we turn our memories backward and review the past year's life. Society has flourishedg smokers, parties, dances, receptions, and the final picnic have served to unite the Class of '17 by ties of friendship. The class may be said to have established the school paper, "The Maroon and White", this act alone has served to elevate our standing among other schools. In athletics, '17 stands supreme, with three stars to our credit on the basket ball team and many more on the base ball team. And in general intellectual ability, according to some of the faculty, we have equalled any of our predecessors. Taking our past as a picture of the future, we can imagine unheard of successes for the Class of '17-successes engendered by the past four years of fellowship and good will. 0112155 ill HERE.-XS, ln order to dispose of the many individual and collective assets, characteristics, personalities and eccen- tricities of the Senior Class of Nineteen Hundred and Seventeen 119175, which class is now about to separate, it becomes neces- sary, expedient and proper to engage an honorable legal authority for the disposition of above assets, etc., we, 'The Class Annual Staff, representatives of said Senior Class of the Altoona High School, which class is of sound mind, memory and understanding, do, therefore, on this first day of May, Anno Domini Nineteen Hundred and Seventeen 09175, create, publish and decare this, the following, as and for its last will and testament, thereby ren- dering void all wills and testamentary writings at any time hereto- fore made: SECTION ONE.

At the close of the season of 1927 we were having an i1n- promptu box party at the new Albright Theatre. The show was a hit and Tessie had a leading dancing part. So the party was a miniature class reunion. Comment was started by the general praise of Lowder's Orchestra, which was under the capable leader- ship of Morris himself. just then the Gables drifted down the aisle, and a few min- utes afterwards the Allens and Davises, much absorbed in each other. That started the talk in earnest. Every one contributed to the conversation. "Did you know that Rose Lenson and Harry IYhite are sing- ing at the Metropolitan Opera House this season F" "Yes, and Esther Eberle is making an concert tour of the Western States." "There are Morgan and janet, don't they look happy F' "Have you all read Lynn Davis' latest book, the one "Chet" Lingenfelter has illustrated P" "They say XYalter Roth is writing poetry for "Life," but is thinking of taking up more serious work later." XYell, we do have talent. There's Catherine Zeth, a reader for the best Chautauqua out, and "Ed" Felty has the old Castle House open, making New York go dance mad again. Catherine Shaffer is managing the American shop of Lady Duff Gordon. Pearl Deeter's curls put an idea into her head and now she is a famous hair-dresser, and in the athletic world we are represented by Walter Irwin, coach for the Yale Varsity Foot Ball Team, and by john McNelis, pitcher for the Athletics. Then Marjorie Sellers is head of the Modern Language Department of the Phil-- adelphia schools, and Louise Sisley has succeeded "Kitty" Stier as a teacher of modern dances. Violet Cox has joined the ranks of the school marins and is now teaching in Pittsburg. Robert Moore is the newly elected City Manager of New York, while in the same city George Meyers is increasing his fame as a temper- ance lecturer. Mrs. I. Isenberg, nec Theo.

His first defense was a chef d'aeut'I'e of oratory. And, oh, yes. there's "Bob" Zimmers holding down a Latin professorship at Yale. Talking about teachers, Olga was a fine assistant to Miss XYertz, but. of course, she's cooking for a private family now, and Pauline Mills has succeeded Miss Mulock in the English Depart- ment. and Gladys Manley Mr. Sharp in astronomy. Marie Lauver has the physical training classes now. "Herel I know something." Eleanor Fraker has made a splendid nurse, and I hear she's engaged to a doctor.

As a medium of publicity there is no better agent than the music of our institution. Our frequent visitors see us in a student body only during our chapel service. The music of that service is the only work of our school that is observed by the public. For this reason this phase of our school work should be at its best at all times. Realizing as we do that in the four years spent in ou: Alma Mater we have perhaps failed to reach the standard toward which we aimed, yet we feel that our class has played her part well in the musical life of the school. It is for the under classmen to profit by our failings and to take up the task where we have left off. an ufl,QiEfC The orchestra of 1916-17 was beyond a doubt more evenly balanced than ever before. NVith a larger instrumentation than in former years, it was possible to play several musical compositions with pleasing results. Another new feature of the orchestra is the fact that our conductor is a member of the faculty-Mr. Sharp has from the beginning of our school year shown his musi- cal ability as our director. Coming to us as a perfect stranger, he has organized the talent of our school into a commendable musical body. Our school should feel doubly proud of its instru- mental music this year, because besides a first orchestra, we can also boast of possessing a second orchestra. During the winter months our chapel services were varied by the music of this sec- ond orchestra. Through the training they have received they will stand ready to be substituted for those who go out this year. One of the Hrst things the orchestra did was to organize and elect officers. The result of this election was: Harold Moore, president, Paul Gleichert, managerg joseph Fay, treasurer, and Sara Plette, secretary. On special occasions and at certain intervals the school has l l i l l been entertained with musical numbers by the orchestra. They have always been selections of high standard and appropriate for the occasion. The 27th of April witnessed the combined musical organiza- tions. including the chorus and glee clubs and orchestra, come together in a splendid rendition of good musical numbers. The concert opened with a march from the opera "Aida," Wihile the orchestra was playing this selection, the chorus came to the stage. Under the splendid leadership of Miss Rollins, supervisor of music, our silver-throated song birds performed their parts with fine talent and skill. Selections by the Boys' and Girls' Glee Clubs followed and delighted the audience. Catherine Zeth. reader, and Robert Leman, violinist, assisted in the evening's entertainment. Miss Zeth gave one of James W'hitcomb Riley's bear stories as she alone can do. She was on the program for only one selection, but was forced to respond to the enthusiastic encore. Robert Leman played as we had never before heard him play. His splendid technique predicts a brilliant career for him. He also was forced to play a second number. -ESM Munir Erpartmvnt-Qlnntinurh Uhr Olhnrnn The chorus has rendered faithful service during the past year. Under the guidance of Miss Rollins' baton they have led the song service during the chapel period. On holidays they have entertained us with numerous vocal selections. Miss Rose Lenson seems to be the prima donna of our class. On the night of the Senior Girls' Reception to the Senior Boys. ,she delighted her audience with "The Old Refrain." XYith loud applause she was called back and sang "just a Longing for You." Esther Eberle, Harry XVhite, and Howard Thompson. who have all taken solo parts in our musical programs, we are also proud to own as members of the Class of 'l7. The classes which come after us will have the advantage of hearing a splendid Victrola. On April 12, the Hood College Girls gave a concert which was well received and enjoyed by a large audience. The club, under the direction of Henry Ward Pearson, made a splendid showing and delighted their audience with sev- eral piano solos as well as classical numbers, an original playlet, readings, and costume songs. The big feature of the evening was the singing of their college song, during which all the Hood alumni who were in the audience arose, showing that Hood is well represented in Altoona. We had the pleasure of hearing Mrs. Brumbaugh, of Harris- burg, who sang several selections for us and delighted us with an encore. She received deafening applause. Uhr Earth The band is slowly but surely coming into its own in the Altoona High School. It deserves a great deal of praise for the spirit it put into our team during the basket ball season just past. VVho is there with feeling so dead that he's not aroused when the band strikes up the lively strains of the "Old Gray Mareu? Our band had one trip this last year. Those who were at me game in Johnstown remember what a splendid "noise" they produced. But our fellows have not been trained to play only "ruff stuff." Several times during the term we have heard them play for our chapel service. This is where the brass section shines. for each time they first played the hymns over alone. VVe all enjoyed their music and wished for more. The uniforms for the band as yet are somewhere in the dim distance, but with a little more work and a lot more 'igreenbacksu those uniforms will become less visionary and more realistic. auf X , J gag' ' X I 'Z 1 Ay' 1, ,J X '55, uf' NX N , .ci 3 'll .X E9 I f f K 2 J x .

Early in the Junior year the first dance was held on the second floor of the Vtfolf building. Mention of it brings back fond memories and worries, for to many it was their first dance. The highly polished floor covered with chunks of tallow and the dreamy music of the Andy Ettle- man Pep Orchestra proved dancing to be a real art. Those who had two reasons for not responding to the advances of the musi- cians, brought forth a billiard table from somewhere and amused themselves dropping the balls into the pockets and making bad breaks. One dance was not enough, so three more at different inter- vals and after several weeks of agitation on the part of persistent ticket sellers, were arranged at the attractive quarters of the Al- toona Social Center. These were all well attended, which showed that the class had early taken a hunch from the museum mummy who has not had any fun for over five thousand years. In June the "song of the wind in the rippling wheat" is heard and "the lilt of the brook under rock and vine." The honey bees which were tipsy upon the nectar of the locust blossoms in May are divinely drunk in the red clover, buzzing a merry tune to the glory of peace and plenty. The mocking bird has become a busy housewife, teaching a nestful of downy birds table manners and the difference between ferocious and edible insects. and the rudi- ments of the art of music which is as far as the end of the rainbow beyond the great composers and the so-called song birds of opera. In June, when all the world is so fair, our thoughts when Juniors, naturally turned to picnics. Wopsononock was chosen for the spot, where the class spent the day, getting back to nature on the mountain top with fun and frolic and futile efforts to keep warm around the merry-go-round engine. Hallowe'en seems to be the official time for masqueraders. However, the Seniors came to the first dance of the year minus the masque, but with plenty of new suits and cheap suspenders. Although stray pieces of corn stalks and dark brown chunks of ginger bread with blisters on had been scattered artistically oi' the floor, also on other surrounding points of interest, fox-trotting held its charm until an early hour. Once upon a time the polite social function was regardel merely as a glad and golden opportunity to stand around half the night in a pair of tight shoes and swap views on the weather or get an overdose of potato salad with machine oil on it. llut when the Senior Reception on February 1 was held, the whole class attended. A delightful little sketch entitled "Quits" was presented to an eager audience. The leading lady, called the Preceptress, wore a dress that had been fed into the jaws of a slow-geared sewing machine that Was hard to pedal, but she was proud and huffy. nevertheless. The leading man, Fred Olney by name, wore a twenty-five cent white bow necktie and rightat an exciting mo- ment it broke loose and tried to get up around his ears. It failed to do this, however, and finally compromised by riding the top of his collar both fore and aft. But he was as happy as though hc had on a high-priced neck tie guaranteed not to break loose from its moorings. It isn't the tie that makes the actor, anyhow. After delicious eats had been servedpin the banquet hall the rest of the evening was spent in dancing. Snrial Brpartment-Gluntinurh The reception was a grand success, from President Davis' ingenious plan of getting the girls home safely to the coffee which appeared to be like muddy water. lint the chairman of the Social Committee explained that it was "ground" before it was made! The students on the Social Com.mittee, although they had each told their' friends and relatives just 468 times that they were members and always looked modest when their achievements were mentioned, yearned after more publicity. At a secret meet- ing they decided to hold a dance at Russell's on March 23, and to have leather programs, with purple pencils, a drove of long-hairel musicians who had never been curried, a luncheon served in the French language, two colored men to stand at the door and an- nounce the names, and to let the welkin ring the neck of any per- spiring undergraduate who would try to get in. Did you get all this? I hope you did. The Social Committee didn't. Immedi- ately they set out to obtain the necessary money, but only suc- ceeded in raising 31.50 and the ire of their parents. However, all the class enjoyed the dance and each one read the names on the back of the programs. Among the prettiest girls in the room was Edward F elty-at least among them every time I saw him. During this year three Senior smokers were held at Russell's. The main parts of these meetings were the speeches and ban- quets. Many elevating subjects were discussed, such as: "Cigar- ettes and How to Use Them." Bright and catchy tables of gov- ernment statistics were read, showing the increased growth of the paregoric industry in the United States as compared with the increased number of infants during the same period. Sensational and thrilling booklets on the prevalence of epileptic fits among poultry and the thousand-legged worm were passed around. Pete Fox was the sensation of the First meeting, when he gave his immortal thesis on "How to Make a Hen Lay, and Other Feats of Parlor Magic." An alarming condition arose one morning. when the Senior Girls swept all ancient traditions to the four winds and decided to hold their entertainment for the Senior Boys iirst. These social functions clog the wheels of education and wear out every- body, from the High School janitor, Hen, to the most brainy and intellectual watchman that ever slept at his post. The girls, undaunted, however. hurried home to write out countless pro- grams and invitations and also to hunt up the family atlas to dis- cover the countries and their capitals. Hut in many homes their thoughtful little brothers and sisters had been ahead of them and had had a light over the worthy atlas. Reason had fled and in departing had left the United States and Mexico hopelessly di- vided, with war-stricken Germany torn out by the roots. all Gaul divided into three parts, the barren deserts of Africa tiezl to the tail of a cat, and a reign of terror and blackberry jam raging up and down the entire Mississippi valley. But the boys came, and the Reception Committee descended upon the unsuspecting eighty-seven delegates and pinned colors, cards, and remarks about the weather on their freshly-pressed suits. They were then invited to discover the ink and light well. Then a tall, heroic youth struggled for the stairs and with a big megaphone and a clean shirt informed the admiring groups that the worst was yet to begin in the auditorium. The stage was gorgeous, for it was covered with the High School beauties seated in a large semi-circle, with their sweet smiles and new shoes and all wrapped in domestic science, ath- letics, agriculture, forestry, etc. Ah! lt was a most impressive sight. Then one of the girls insisted on singing. She sang on uninterrupted. A brave violinist next sallied forth and with a stout heart and only three strings melted the souls of all that were in sight of the tune. Three beautiful readings followed hard on the heels of each other on educational subjects varying anywhere from bears and pirate stories to a goose with one leg. i Two graceful dancers with dainty dresses and tight shoes appeared next. They tried to persuade the eager audience with full arm and foot movements that they were "Coming Through the Rye." llut as all the rye had been put in the punch, they had hard work, for the audience would not believe it. The program was completed when an imitation little Dutch boy with wooden shoes and a pair of pants with several patches grafted on them beautifully demonstrated the Netherland Hop. After the performance all journeyed down stairs with a dainty appetite and later returned with acute indigestion. The rest of the evening was spent in fox trotting. until Professor Robb stopped the music. The Senior Boys. after repeated attempts to arrange a sta- tionary date. decided to have a Senior Vaudeville Show on Tues- day, April 2-L. They informed the girls on the day before that as they wanted to save themselves the labor, and that as the printing machine was broken, they would omit sending written invitations. XVhen the girls arrived large silk flags and generous bouquets of sweet peas were presented them at the entrance. They were then told to enter the auditorium, where Mr. Sharp had the or- Surial Bepartmrnt-Cllnntinuvh l chestra coralled. After repeated efforts to get the chord, he threw open the window to get the air. At 8.30 P, M., Gloom, after being borne to the stage amid the muffled sobs of the pall- bearers, undertaker, and the minister, whose faces resembled ani- mated gravestones, was buried somewhat roughly, leaving joy and Mirth to dominate the evening. After giving full instructions to the ushers when to start the applause, a brave youth with a speak-easy tongue and an extra shirt ascended the rostrum and, with one arm in the bosom of his forty-five-inch vest and the other wandering aimlessly through space, delivered a wonderful introduction, with gestures attached. for his great master, Prof. G. O. P. Fox, L. C. D., Ph. D., G. C. D. The professor appeared to be a mild creature-one who sits around in a corner by himself and thinks things over in dead lan- guages. Nevertheless he pulled some startling feats of scientific magic that would deceive the eye of any potato, even if it didn't want him to. Next came Prima Donna Sawtelle. Sawtelle used to be a good fellow until he contracted a serious case of musical talent. Some false friend told Harold that he had a voice, a regular bari- tone, I believe they called it,' that would look well on a Frenchman with long hair, and from that moment his mind seemed to totter. He used to get up at 4 o'clock every morning and sing "Free as a Bird" in his bare feet. till his parents secretly hoped that he would get a mouthful of words caught in his throat some time and strangle on them before competent help could arrive. But never- theless he sang very well. The curtain then arose upon a dainty tragedy. A maid was discovered dusting off the scenery. During her weary hours of toil she secretly yearned for the day when she could demonstrate .,,g.5.,,,, .,,, ,ve Burial iBepartmrnt-Qlnntinurh home-made soup to some Romeo who could supply her with three rooms and a picture of Lincoln. But she was not to live thus. A treacherous villain, with a string of murders fastened to his credit. entered upon her innocent young life, and demanded a kiss for his trouble. She was saved, however, from this humiliating scene by a powerful hero who had started out in life with a vest that had grown too short for him in the waist, but by dint of perseverance, punctuality, perspectibility, pertinacity and perspecuity, had won a deathless love from Trilby and demonstrated it with a half Nelson round the neck. The villain was assisted by the villainess, an infatuating beauty with a white dress and a red wig. Together they laid out their plans like an undertaker. It was a deep plot. The Countess of the House of Spondulix was the real mother oi Trilby, although she was now acting as an Abigail to the Countess. The villain had stolen her from her parents when she was a young babe, and now she had nothing but a poor memory and a cheap necklace to remember the incident. Fellow sufferers, if you have tears to shed get your shedder ready. W'hile the Countess was relating her history in a sad minor key, aided by the tune "Hearts and Flowers," played by a rising young genius with but one of his fingers, the low-cut villain and bewitching villainess entered, and with cruel hearts and a piece of garden hose, struck the conntess a deadly blow. The air was rent in twain by a wild shout, which sounded as though some one were being murdered with a dull pair of shears or a garden hoe, and a meek voice exclaimed: "NVhy, you mean things! You tried to l l l l l l l l l i l l i N murder me!" It was a thrilling moment. Trilby rushed in and placed the blame on the villain, who threw it off and put it on the villainess. But just then our hero rushed in. "What is the trouble P" he yelled, and grabbed Trilby in his arms. "T hey have murdered the Countess," sobbed Trilby. "But I know you won't let them do it." "No, Trilby. Even though I have a limited education and an uncle who works in a laundry, I will light to the finish." The villain, after he has taken a fatal dose of poison by mis- take, and sees that he is going to die, rather than be taken alive, shoots himself. The villainess then falls over his dead body, her- self killed in the general melee. As no scientist has yet discovered how far you will have to drop a feather to break a two-dollar bill, you will have to draw your own conclusion. The party ended after the students had eaten everything but the pictures on the wall and had danced their fill. After this the students settled down to get a firmer grip on their credits until June, when our 'final social events, the picnic and banquet, were held. 1.i VVe have Miss Helen Gehret to thank for the art design at the head of this department. 60 sFORTs X "X f , A: -I ' l ,"g5,"" "g1iQ' 1 ,, ff? 3 g"!2g. .

Brhiratvh in Matter Zlrmiu E have with us in the enterprising Class of 11117. one who has won so many laurels, both in cage and on track, that we can find no better way of showing our deep appreciation of his achievements than to dedicate this page to him-VValter Irwin. At forward, i11 the years '15 and '11i, he displayed such marvelous speed, such an abundance of lighting spirit that he was unanimously chosen captain of the A. H. S. Basket llall team of '17. It was under his calm. yet mighty, leadership, his never-give-up spirit, and his splendid headwork, that the team of the season past was enabled to win twenty-tive out of twenty- seven starts, and the championship of the P. I. A. A. But, although his llasket Ball record totally eclipses any other ever made by an A. H. S. student, his record on the track is equally as good. Starting as a Freshman in track activities, he has made the team for four successive years, and each year earned his letter. Last year. had it not been for Irwin. the A. H. S. would have descended into utter oblivion in track circles. He was the track team of the year '1Ii. We are proud to have Walter Irwin as a member of our Class of 1917, and we can but hail him with the hearty cheers of fellow classmates, as the greatest athlete that ever wore the Maroon and White.

H. S. for 1916-17 was, from start to finish, the greatest team that ever wore the Maroon and W'hite. More records were established and more traditions broken by their marvelous passing, shooting, and team work than ever before in the history of the school. Starting in the latter part of Decem- ber, with neither practice nor coaching, they went through the hardest schedule a High School could possibly have had, and then twenty-live wins out of twenty-seven starts won for them the title "Champions of the State of Pennsylvaniaf, Here we Uhr On December 27, before a handful of fans in the St. Luke's Gym, the successful season was launched, almost at the cost of defeat. There had been no practice, no coaching, in fact, the team had not been together since last season. But through the hard playing of the boys, individually, we met and defeated the first challenger, who, by the way, was none other than our old foe, Hollidaysburg. Those present had little hopes of there being anything but an unsuccessful season this year. But those who knew only said, "Wait till they get together." At the end of the Christmas season the boys returned to their duties with the one determination to get down to good, hard, stiff practice and bring the team up to what it ought to be. They were met by Mr. Sharadin, who had been selected as coach. The work was started. Many anxious nights for those involved followed, might add that the credit of the successful season is attributed to the efforts in the years '14, '15, '16 of Coaches Hargraves and Roberts for producing such players as represented the Maroon and White this year. It is our only regret that they were not present to share the glory of victory. iVe cannot be too loud nor long in our praise of them, the two coaches that had the A.-H. S. at heart. VVith four regulars and as many subs from last year's VVestern Pennsylvania Champions, Coach A. J. Sharadin had his work already started for him. The team was there, all that was needed was coaching and practice. Swann but after much shifting around, the veterans held their own. The team picked for the first trip was as follows: Capt. Irwin and Healey, forwards 3 the center position was awarded to Braucher, formerly center of Juniata High School, while to Dietrick and Vaughn went to the defensive work. But, alas! hopes for a clear record were banished. DuBois handed us such a stinging defeat that it could only be swallowed rightly after a few tears had been shed. The team claims this defeat was similar to that of the'Light Brigade when they made their famous chargeg for the referee was to the right of them, to the left of them, and in front of them with but one aim-to call fouls every time an Altoonan touched the ball. But the next night this defeat was counterbalanced by a victory which showed what material the Mountain City boys were made of. They defeated HAVE- 6 Sparta'- Punxsutawney on Punxsy's own floor, something which, 'tis said, has never been accomplished by any other High School. The following XVednesday, amid the blare of the band and the ceaseless yells from the cheering section, the season was opened rightly at home. Huntingdon was the victim, and although they were easily downed, the boys lacked the pep and the team work necessary. There was no spirit displayed. Friday of that week Tyrone was humbled by a somewhat close score on their own Hoor. But the paths of victory seemed to lead but to defeat, for the following week the second snag was encountered. VVe were torpedoed, and, after forty minutes of struggling, finally sunk by a "U boat" run by the Hollidaysburgers. The torpedo was none other than the "burgers " sterling referee, Mr. Fuller. But again the listlessness of our team was evident, and this time it spelled defeat. Something must be done. Many things were suggested. new plays tried, but of no avail. Then came the change, the change that made ours a winning team. Irwin went to guard and Vaughn to forward. It was this lineup that won the champion- ship. XYilliamsport was the first to meet the revised team, and great was the poor lililltowners' fall, for they were completely swamped. The following week came a two-day trip, the results of which were two more victories. At Robertsdale they met a husky bunch of miners, and although there was some talk as to how these boys could dig something that rhymed with goal, they could not dig through our guards often enough to down the Altoonans. Juniata College Reserves were met the following night. Those who saw the collegians play in our gym will stand by the statement that they had Irwin's men outweighed by fifteen pounds. But obsta- cles had no weight with them, and when the smoke of battle had Olnntinueh I 1 i cleared away they were once more on the heavy end of the score. Four days later, on our fioor, after somewhat of a scare, the .lum- ata boys were downed again. Then came something which made the fans wake up. Friday, the 9th of February, the wearers of the Maroon and XVhite, accompanied by the band and 300 enthusiastic rooters, invaded the city of Johnstown, with the result that the poor Johnnies were completely mauled to a standstill. Neither their brilliant football tackles nor their persistent tistic tactics could stop our boys from making goals. XVhen the final whistle had blown they had beaten the johnnies on their own floorg almost an impossible thing to do. Next week with a sub-team Tyrone was easily defeated. Huntingdon proved another easy victory. The following day the coach sprung a surprise. VVhen the game was called with Chambersburg a whole sub-team was put in. There was much comment fro-m the stand, and the cries became louder for "The team! The team !" but the regulars were nowhere to be found. The half ended 14 to 4 in favor of Chambersburg. When the second half started, the regulars, tired out from the hard game the night before, had to not only defeat Chambersburg, but over- come a ten-point lead. Could they do it? The game ended A. H. S. 35, Chambersburg 23, while the score of the half was Bl to 9 in favor of the locals. Next came the inevitable. Something was accomplished that few High Schools can boast of. Five straight games were won in five days on five foreign floors. Tuesday, February 20, after a grand send-off, the team started on its big trip. Lewistown was the first to meet the onslaughtg in direct order the strong Ship- pensburg Normal five went under. Next came Chambersburg. Here the fouling and blocking of the Chambersburg Five almost overwhelmed the Altoonans, and had it not been for the fair ,gg-.-.-.Av BASKET BALL TEAM AA UG Sparta referee the story might have been different. At Hagerstown the town team suffered defeat for the first time. Then the final game. Could they make a clean sweep of the five? It was a tired group of warriors that wore the Maroon and W'hite that night. XVaynes- boro had seventeen straight victories. They also boasted that they had never been defeated in their own "back yard." The half ended 14 to 11 against our boys. Then came a conference, the result of which was that the Cumberland Valley boys beat them- selves. Time and time again Irwin and Dietrick received knees, elbows, slaps in the face for which Pat dropped in fouls. The Wiaynesboro boys lost their goats plus the game, and Altoona won their last game of the trip. The next day when the boys returned they received so many hugs, slaps on the back, handshakes, and, it might be added, kisses, that they were almost completely smoth- ered. They had put the A. H. S. on the basket ball map. It took several bottles of liniment plus many hours of rubbing before they were able to get into shape for their next game, but they were brought around in such shape that Lewistown was held without a field goal. Twenty-four hours later Wfindber was lined up against the Altoonans on VVindber's floor. It has always been a tradition that Windber is Altoona's Jonahg but not so with this A. H. S. team, for again we came out on the heavy end of the score. But one feat was no more than accomplished until another one was brought up. Now came the cry, UB-eat Johnstown again. Beat Johnstown again." So great was the crowd that it was decided that Y. M. A. Hall, thelargest in the city, would have to be used. Long before the appointed time the large hall was filled to its capacity and many were being turned away. The Maroon and VVhite was in a blaze of glory that night and dare not suffer defeat. Away with traditions! "This is our year," was the senti- - Olnntinurh ment. XYe must win. lfVin we did, for at no time in the game could the poor .lohnnies get their heads above the water. Down they went to defeat, thanks to the wonderful fouling ability they had acquired. They committed just one foul every minute. A week later we met Willianisport on their own Hoor. It seemed the Billtowners had found our weak spot, for with six minutes to play they had the "Sharadinites" 26 to 16. Then came the rally. The Cherry and VVhite were so surprised that before they came to their senses the final whistle blew and A. H. S. was victorious with a score of to 28. Vtfhile the Billtowners were waking up, Vaughn had counted five from the field and Pat two with four fouls by the latter. Windber the following week made eighteen straight. But now since the season was fast coming to a close a cham- pionship had to be decided. Since their victory over the Al- toonans, Hollidaysburg had been in a state of unrest and now they came forth with the claim of the championship of Blair County. It was a challenge readily accepted. And again the Y. M. A. Hall was packed to its capacity. Wlien all was ready the band struck up "The Star Spangled Banner," and as the enthusiastic crowd rose to its feet, the five A. H. S. regulars trotted forth to battle with small .American flags sewed to the backs of their jerseys. It was a sight long to be remembered. Ere the strains of the beloved song had died away there was a swell of confidence in the Maroon and VVhite ranks, for well they knew that the old flag would never touch the ground that night. It was agfight from start to finish. The "burgers" played one of the fastest, cleanest games seen here thisyear, but their repeated attacks on our boys' defense was of no avail, for Irwin and Dietrick were impenetrable. Our first championship and twenty-third victory of the season were won that night. Sparta Friday of that same week the husky cage men from DuBois were our guests. Iiut they had forgotten their referee, and the five did not work very well together without the aid of their sixth man, for they could not keep up with the pace set by the locals. It was like a wagon trying to run on three wheels. This game finished our season, the most successful season the A. H. S. ever played. We were champions of Central Pennsylvania and in direct line for the championship of the I". I. A. A. Could the championship be decided? When all contestants had been eliminated it was found that Reading held the eastern title, while that of the central and western sections went to Ai- toona. Negotiations were immediately opened with the Dutch- inen, and it was finally decided that the championship of the State should be decided in Altoona on April 3. Once more the big Y, M. A. Hall was filled. It was a never-to-be-forgotten night. For the last time Capt. Irwin, Braucher, Dietrick and Davis would wear the Maroon and White, and as they trotted out 011 the floor the cheering was deafening. Could they win their last game-the most important of the season? Could they bring a title to the A. II. S. that it had never held before? Reading had our boys outweighed and practically outclassed in team work, but play as they might they could not overcome that never-give-up spirit so clearly manifested by the Altoonans. They dare not lose. Half time ended with Altoona leading by a close margin. Then came some inside "dope,' the "dope" which gave us the Dutchmen's weak spots. "Billy" Roberts, who was on the side lines, had noticed holes in the Reading defense, and with the ability he had shown in former years he mapped out attacks on their defects. Iie told each player how to work their plays, how to guard, who to "feed," with the result that ere the following twenty minutes had elapsed, Altoona was placed on the top rung Olnntinurh i l l l i 1 l i i of P. I. A. A. basket ball ladder for the first time in history. Hurrah! The boys had won their last and greatest championship.

Think of it. after eight long years of banishment the good old game-the best of all school games-is once more to be played by the students of the A. H. S. No longer will the student followers of the gridiron have to sit back and read of other High Schools having championship teams, for now is their chance to get out and put the Maroon and Wliite back to the place where it belongs, foremost in scholastic foot ball circles. The material for accomplishing such a feat is everywhere year we did not give up hope. XVhen all around the schools were lighting for the supremacy of the gridiron the spirit seemed to become imbedded in us, and even at the danger of expulsion from school two teams were formed in our ranks, one from the Indus- trial class, the other from the General. In early November the battle royal was staged. It was one never to be forgotten, both for the game itself and the result it had on the future A. H. S. It was the final step toward bringing back the long-hoped-for game of games, foot ball. Although we have never had the chance to , , , l defend the Maroon and VVhite on the gridiron, we can say that cropping out in our school. Many of the A. H. S. bovs of former . l , ' , we helped to bring foootball back to A. H.

Base Ball Team of 1917. although of the first calibre, had not the unlimited success of the Basket Ball Team. Being set back time after time by bad weather conditions, it was the middle of April before the team had its first good work out on the East End Field. In the middle of March candidates were rallied and practice was held in St. Luke's gym twice a week. Under the watchful eye of the coach and also with the application of an unlimited supply of rub-down. the winter's stiffness was worked out and by the time "Old Sol" had dried up the mud puddles on the field, the pitchers and catchers were in true form. john McNelis, '17, was chosen chief of an effective group of pitchers, while to McGinley, '19, went the receiving job, making up a perfect Irish battery- something to be feared. Throughout the year Johnny pitched excellent ball, and it was only his tightness in pinches that saved us from several defeats. Braucher, '17, one of High's old iron men and of Juniata make, was the life around the initial sack. Vaughn, the junior athlete, performed the "Eddie Collins" stunt at second. Short stop position was filled by a speedy little man named Moore, called "Bobby" for short, and his activity plus his alertness plus his wonderful form won for him much applause from the stands, especially among the fair fans. Then came Beswick, '17, the other fourth, also the biggest fourth, of what could easily be called a Connie Mack S100,000 infield. "Bunk," although somewhat affected by his recent illness, was back in true form, and nothing in the line of hot grounders or line drives ever got past him. The outer garden was tended to in left by reliable Capt. Mathias Sanders, '18, clean-up man of the club. Mat's specialty is home runs and a batting average of round about .500. In center "Skinny" Hahn got all that looked like possible fence breakers, while the right end of the patch was superbly tended by Chas. Harrison, also of '17 class. The subs, always ready for a chance, were F. McNelis, '19, Harris, '19, and Miller, 'ISL Although the schedule was somewhat lighter than former years, when the team did get a chance to perform it certainly dis- played some excellent ability in its defense of the Maroon and XVhite. The opening was with Curwensville, a team of huskies that looked more like a town team than that of a High School. But with McNelis in the box and Mat there with his home run, things were rather easy for the A. H. S., and when the nine rounds had been faithfully fought we came out on the big end- 4-3. Next the boys went up against the strong Lock Haven Normal team, reputed throughout the state as one of the best in normal circles, but neither side proved the master and after a pitchers' duel the argument ended in a tie-3-3. A short time later the Normal boys invaded the East End Park for the sole purpose of being treated to a ducking, for after just four innings of fray with a pitchers' duel on, the game had to be called. The score was then a tie-4-4. To date this is all the games that have been played. but there is lots of chance for the team to show what it is made of. Sparta-Qlnntinueh Zllirlh 65112115 We cannot be too unlimited in our thanks to the Athletic Committee, which was composed of Messrs. Gaines, Ake, Irvine, Grimminger, Hammond. Sharadin, Ridenbangh, and Shriner. Throughout the year they showed their hearty co-operation with the school, and had it not been for their superior judgment it is doubtful if our athletics could have been carried on so success- fully. Many thanks to them. and especially to Mr. Shriner for the splendid five-day trip arranged for the Ilzisket llall Team this year. They made things worth while. Hats off to Homer Replogle. Ile is the one great cheer leader and with him leading the "Booin-get-a-Boom," the cheering section could make the rafters in any building creak. The members of the class of '17 wish to suggest to "Pat" Healy that he find a more secretive place than a llell's Gap Rail- road coach and a more appropriate time than 10 A. M. for the delicate purpose of holding hands with a certain DuBois maiden. Too much praise cannot be given to Messrs. lleswick and Hurd. They were there with the goods. Messrs. Dietrick and "l'uddy" Heess have secured work for the summer. They are going to pose for a patent medicine com- pany in a touching scene called "Before and After Taking." "That letter must have come from a Horal shop," remarked 53 C5 the postmaster at Waynesboro as he handed oy er a letter to smiling "Boots" Davis. "It sure smells sweet." How did it hap- pen, "Boots"? The one handicap of the year was our blushing center's beauty, and everywhere the team went the girls were after our poor Larue. In Punxsy there were several girls injured, one seri- ously, in a rush for him after the game. A new song is to be used in the A. H. S. from now on. "Ireland Must Be Heaven, for the Healeys Came from There." Ireland has no navy, but a company of Irish hand grenadiers would be something to scare the Teutons. The McNelis-McGin- ley battery, for instance. While speaking of the Irish, McCann's Irish cheering section must be mentioned. They yelled the loudest when Reading got its "Dutch" up. It looked like a tragedy. There lay VValt. Irwin all stretched out and the coach earnestly rubbing him with a rather pale looking liquid labeled 'AEmbalmer's' Fluid." The Senior'Class of '17 is thinking of buying a statue of "The Old Gray Mare," instead of a Minerva. Vaughn's ability to write love sonnets with Braucher's name signed to them has caused many a sigh throughout the ranks of the fair ones. ,-.6151--. Ll 0.7 S ol.

At the station he took the stage, which was drawn by two dilapidated horses, and found that he had no smaller change than a tive-dollar bill, which he handed to the driver.

A Roselawn poultryman was awakened about 3 o'elock one morning, and, upon going to his bedroom window, saw two negroes emerging from his poultry house. Hastily grabbing his old-fashioned revolver, he fired at the thieves, but before he could load and Iire a second time, the negroes were out of sight behind a bend in the road. The chicken fanciers ran like mad until they thought they were at a safe distance, then they stopped, and one of them said: "Sam, did you-all hear dat bullet ?', "Ah sho' did," replied Sam. "Ah done heard it twice." "Heard it twice? How do you make dat out ?" "Easy 'nough," said Sam Q "once when it passed me, an' again when Ah passed it." 1 U 1 i A MISTAKE. On the basket ball trip the players were at the hotel in Hagerstown waiting for dinner, and they noticed that young fryers were special for that meal. So Dietrick turned to the pretty waitress and asked: "How's the chicken ?" "Oh, I'm all right," she blushed. "How are you ?" if l U 'K NEIGHBORLY.

After having listened to your pro- found words of counsel and wisdom, and after having heard your new and beautiful views of life and success, I feel that there is probably not much that I can say. XVith your kind permission. however. I shall try to give you a few of my views on the great theme of 'Life' as I have found it. You, tonight, are standing on the threshold of life. as you yourselves have admitted this even- ing not less than 56-I times, if I have counted' correctly. I have greatly enjoyed listening to your lavender-colored essays and your orations with perfumery on them, and, I presume, as you sit here with your new shoes on and gaze out upon life as far as the eye can see, you imagine that it will be easy to conquer, and that it will all be more or less of a rose-tinted dream. Life is not altogether one grand, ceaseless, free-for-all, open-air picnic. with a free bus going right ont to the grounds, nor is it made up alto- gether of moist and mildewed gloom. Life is a mixture of sun- shine and shadow, pleasure and pain, poetry and poll tax, matri- mony and measles, pride and porous plasters. The babe in the cradle today kicks up its heels and laughs and tries to put one foot in its mouth and has a grand old time, but tonight it will be filled with sorrow and tincture of paregoric. A boy gets a licking and a piece of pie and goes to bed to dream of Santa Claus and Satan. Man stands on the proudest heights of his glory with an onion poultice on his chest, and full many a poet wears a wreath of laurel and a liver pad. "Once, years ago, I stood where you stand tonight. Ah! l remember how I stood up in my new pants that struck me just around the shoe-tops and told a vast and eager audience how to conquer success. But I can see now that it is pretty hard for a boy with a buttonhole bouquet to step right out and cause much of an uproar and commotion in the great, waiting world. Tonight you will take your dear little essay, with its wonderful sugges- tions for haltering success, and you will fold it up and tie a pretty double-bow knot around its waist and lay it away in a quiet place and sprinkle sachet powder on it, and then, tomorrow, you will start out into the world. Then, some day, after you have had a few hand-to-hand scufiies with the world, in which you have not succeeded in doing any great and irreparable damage to the world, you will get out your cream-colored essay and read it all over in a quiet, subdued tone of voice, and then you will note, as I have been observing, that it is one thing to sit here on this plat- form, surrounded by rose-geraniums and members of the faculty, and make plans with soft, oriental fringe on them, but it is quite another thing to step forth and carry them out. "But stick to your dreams. Nearly every great man was once a boy with a dream, and the reason the dream came true was because he stuck to it and was not disheartened or turned aside by ridicule of spring hats. If you have hitched your wagon to a star, let nothing dismay you." ALBERT ALBRIGHT, '17. --,,,6,-- 9 ALL KINDS OF CANNED GOODS Thank You! 7'E take pleasure in thanking you for your patronage.

Through trains between Altoona and Lock Haven make it very convenient for students who wish to spend an occasional week-end at home. The Central State Normal School has its course of study so arranged that the maximum amount of professional work is given. The Central State Normal School graduates are in great demand because superintendents know that all these graduates have done one whole year of practice teaching under the supervision of critic teachers and in addition that they have received special training in rural school problems. The Central State Normal School has high standing professionally because all of the instruction is given by instructors who have made special preparation for the snbjects they teach. All the senior and junior classes are taught by the heads of the different departments. The Central State Normal School offers the very best Teachers' Course at the least expense. There are no extra charges. The Central State Normal School offers special courses in Music, Domestic Science, Art, Kindergarten, Expression and Business. It is possible for a good student to take a regular Normal course and at the same time do some work in a special course. The Central State Normal School is so situated that few places excel it in picturesqueness of scenery. It is supplied with an abundance of pure mountain water. The rooms in the dormitories have lots of light and are neat and cheerful. The health of students is exceptionally good. The Central State Normal School is a most excellent school for one who is preparing for the teaching pro- fession. All of last year's graduates have schools and many more could have been placed in desirable positions.
