Soon we shall be graduated and others will 5 take our places. In the yearsyto come perhaps new friends, new in- ? terests, will almost blot out for us to the dearest memories of our school p days. Then if by chance this book helps us to recall the faces of our k classmatesg a memory grown dim ' with the passing of the yearsg helps is i to bring back the days of our youth when our hearts were happy and i our ambitionshigh, then we shall know this faulty work of ours to have been not wholly useless and 2' we shall be content with that re- ward. s f U n Q 3 r.

These -clames have pursued their studies ,entirely separately through-out the entire eight semesters. As is well-known, no social activ- ities are allowed in the school before the end of the first semester. As the mid-year students finished their school work at the end of the ni-st semester, it was decided at the organ- ization of the class 1n'Janua.ry to ad- mit the mid-year students to the or- ganization in order to permit them to ,participate in the senior entertain- ments and social functions: This decision was reached ,only after much., discussion ands some clashing, members of the 'class said last night. Q A N Averages Are Withheld Since the action taken at- the'Jan- uary meeting, the classes have been called one and there is but one honor a-oll,' which in a sense is fair, some members of the class say, but others point out that the June senior classof 260' members is without a valedic- torian, a. salutatorian' or a third honor student, as the nr t three on the announced' honor roll arenmem- bers of the mid-year class. -Another point of dissatisfaction was stressed when it was rumored that no averages would be made public, even to the. students, until after 'com- mencement. Members of, .the class and' parents of the pupils called at- tention ,tos the mix-up of last year whichlcaused a. sensation in the city, and resulted in a change in the vale- dictorlan. Miss Virginia.'Leader, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Howard E. Leader, 623 Fourth avenue, is valedictorian, ac-' cording to the honor roll. She is 18 years old and graduates in the clas- sical course. She has attended the Wright, Stevens, Jefferson and Cen- tral Grammar schools in her elemen- tary studies. Miss Leader, has :served as. an officer of the Girls League during the past -three terms. She was a, member of vthe. xnld-year class.

I will not become excited or dis- couraged because there are shadows on the ground, or clouds gathering on the horizon. "I will do my work as I have never done it before, with willing hand and alert brain. I will put something of myself into it before it leaves my hand, for as I work, so am I. 'AI will look out upon the whole universe with contentment and pride-glad for the day and proud that I am here. As 1ny feet search the uncertain paths of Earth, I will not forget to look up at the great, limpid skies and at their stars. I shall grow in understanding this day. "In short, this day'that is mine, I will do my very best. I will not hurry, or worry, or fret- I will just move on to the eventide knowing, that as I cross this tiny bit of eternity, I shall make progress! And, at night, I will laugh, and play, and sing, and sleep and dream, that I may do even better on the morrow l" XYith very kind regards and good wishes, I am Sincerely yours, I Principal. l ' OBO o pg 1,9 26 4 N- of-t:xg1,j li X J V c I Q 2 - I K.

Ray is one gf the feyv Whom good goods come in small packages. E Q n OBO we look upon as being worthy of the highest and best life has to offer. He believes in being happy and cheerful under all circumstances. Although he is rather quiet in school, he is a cyclone atbasketball. .lust watch him play sometime. Ray is "a true son of A. H. S." Gladys Feist Do you see that little girl with the brown curls, the one who looks as though she had just stepped out of a story book? That is Gladys. This quiet young lady who has not yet succumbed to the fashion of bobbed hair, is our vice-president. That is sufficient proof that we all like her. Then, who can forget Gladys as the heroine of The Gypsy Rover? Can she sing? XVell, I should say so. Mabel Pheasant Mabel is our secretary, but that isn't all. She's a fine student and has won several medals for her work. That shows that she is a good student. She types the work for the Mountain Echo and is always glad to help a friend. VVe wanted a secretary who had all of these qualities. No wonder we selected Mabel for the office. Ernest Linker VVho is that tall, handsome young man collecting money from the Seniors and cheerfully scribbling on a scrap of cardboard as if he did it every day? It is Ernie Linker col- lecting class dues. He belongs to the Industrial Class and surely is a hustler. A whizz, a cheery word, and he is speeding off down the hall to confer on some problem. Ernie is particularly gifted in wending his way about the corridor at Friday afternoon dances. Everyone is pleased to have him in the class of '26, for he is an all round good fellow. She is a good student and very popular. W'hy shouldn't we like her? W'ould you like to meet some- one who will help you if she pos- sibly can? Thatis Virginia. Would you like to know a- girl who is pretty and popular and a good student? That is Virginia. Pretty, witty, gritty, that's Virginia. Look up her picture. John Hollar john has accomplished something which seemed impossible. He has taken charge of the Annual without losing his temper. Such an accom- plishment is not to be disregarded. How many of us could have en- dured the thousand and one ques- tions John has continually been asked? Still, he doesn't look care- worn-not a bit. He's one of the most popular boys in school. VVe all are familiar with the words "Be yourselff' John seems to have taken these for a motto. No wonder he is a general favorite. E Helen Pearce Who's Who wouldn't be complete without Helen. She is the little brown-eyed blond who is always happy. And who wouldn't be happy if she were as popular as Helen? She was equally charming as the heroine in Daddy Long Legs, as a visitor in Come Out of the Kitchen, and as the stenographer in A Pair of Sixes. In the last play, both busi- ness partners wanted the stenog- rapher at the same time. When you know Helen, can you blame them? William Lingenfelter If you see a tall blonde chap go through the halls, looking as if he were on some business mission, you will know that it is our business manager, Bill Lingenfelter. He is one of the 'men who has made our QU l E U s-Ii:-22913-2o ? 1 9 2 6 444-of-m51f?,gf 53 , . . . . i .5 g CTS. . . s KAW- - -gf.-1 M EQPQEQ g ga LIIBEELL. f' 'oi'mEg3'S'k5' Q? 991 Gm QD Annual a success. But Bill isn't The Craine Twins 0 only a business lllilll. He shines in Twins Should not be Separated, 0 ll Q E H QDO social activities. And can he dance? Ask a11y girl. You j11st can't help liking Hill. Eleanor Wilson School wouldn't seem right with- out VVillie. lf some activity needs help, the natural thing to do is to call on Willie. This senior, who is neither lofty in height nor very dig- nified i11 manner-perhaps that's why we like her so well-is captain of our girls' basketball team. As a member of the program committee VVillie did much to make our socials the success they were. Her efforts for the Annual have been untiring. In short, VVillie is the kind of girl who is not afraid to help the class and who, by doing so, wins the friendship of everyone. Paul Smith One Senior Alley in school is par- ticularly well lighted by the pres- ence of Paul Smith. Paul will long be remembered-after the pages of this book are yellow with age---as the business partner in A Pair of Sixes. And, too, you Seniors who trip the light fantastic under the colorful decorations at the Senior socials, remember that it was Paul who so willingly climbed ladders to put up those decorations. Besides these services Paul plays basketball and we'll never forget how he did l1is bit to wallop Johnstown! Hail to Paul! A real A. H. S. graduate! Mary Henderson A dart across tl1e floor-a ball dropped into the basket. That is Mary Henderson. And that isn't all she does well. Her drawing heads tl1e Joke Department, but there isn't any joke when Mary makes things Hy. She's a peppy dancer and an all 'round good sport. She's one of those girls who always sees the bright side. Here's to our Mary. May she always shoot good baskets. V Gertrude and Alfred Craine have kept together in 1llOSlI of their subjects so it would not do to sep- arate tl1e1n now. No one has ever known the twins to fail in a recita- tion. That's an enviable record. It isn't a case of oneis knowing what the other doesn't, either. But we are more interested in the fact that they are alwaysready for fun. You should see them at the Friday after- noon dances and at the football ga111es. But it is seldom that you see one without the other. lf being twins is the cause of their ready participation in any sort, T'm sure we would all like to be twins. Raymond Koelle If you have ever seen a football game you will recall Raymond. He is the young man who gets into the game with all that's in llllll. Maybe you I'CIl1C1lllJC1' llllll as that fellow with a smile who 1narcl1ed up to get his letter when they were awarded. Dutch, as he is better known, is a member of the mid-year class. Con- trary to supposition, he is a good student, as well as a good fellow all around. Harriet Hoenstine VVhen electing officers for the Girls' League Miss Lentz said we should elect a president with execu- tive ability. Harriet was elected. Doesn't that say enough for her? Harriet surely has fulfilled all our desires, for a better president couldn't be found. Then Harriet is just like her nickname, always Happy. You can't feel blue whe11 she is around. Herbert Owens "Oh! I don't know where I'm going but I'm on 1ny way." Oh, yes, here hecomes. Meet Mr. Herbert Gwens. This fragment of song, although slightly moss grown, char- acterizes Herbie. He is a happy- go-lucky chap who cares for noth- ing in this life but basketball and ! O 5.

Herbie appeared in Come Out of the Kitchen, The Gypsy Rover, and A Pair of Sixes. The school could scarcely get along without this young man. Reba Johnson Of course you know Reba. Every- one does. Perhaps you know her because of her dramatic ability. Perhaps you know her because you like her stories. Perhaps you know her simply as one of those students who believes in banishing dull care. If anyone can feel blue when Reba is around, that person must be in- digo indeed. Her good humor and ability make it easy to understand why Reba is so irresistible. McClellan Wilson If he is tall, if he has dark hair and blue eyes, if he's popular and a good dancer, it's Mac Wilsoii. Mac is a living proof of the fact that one can be rather industrious and still be a good sport. This young man seemingly has the abil- ity to be everywhere at once. At least, he is always on hand when he's needed. Mac is the sort every- one likes and is glad to know. Beatrice Ayers Bee is one of those athletic girls of whom we are so proud, and justly proud, for Bee is a wonder at basket- ball. She is a brunette, full of life and enthusiasm. Besides her par- ticipation in that sport in which we are so greatly interested-baskeb ball-Bee sold tickets at the athletic field when our boys played football. In this way she proved that girls can help everywhere. Of course this isn't all that Bee has done, but it's enough to show what a good sport she is. Hilda Rodkey Tactful, charming Hilda has been quite prominent in the plays given by the Girls' League. As Florence, she did much to make A Pair of Sixes the success it Was. After all, the proof of any girl's popularity lies in her friends and Hilda has many friends. Best of all she keeps them by her never-failing tact. Hilda bewilders us. She seems too good to be true, and we are afraid she will vanish. But no! She is truly one of the class of '26, See the picture section again. Henry Bloom Therels at least one person in the school who looks industrious. Yes, it's Henry. lf you want to find him, look up and down the hall, for you may see him there. If that fails look in the English office. He's probably working on the school paper. The work of managing editor isn't easy but he does it effectively. Besides, his lessons are well pre- pared and he plays in the school orchestra. But at the Friday after- noon dances, you will Hnd our editor dancing-dancing blissfully, dream- ily-wholly forgetful of the big en- velope from the Mirror office on Miss Mulock's desk marked RUSH. john Schucharts john, Johnny, Cy-they are all one and the same to us, our hero of the mud, our hrm standby on a wet gridiron. NVe've heard of Johnny since Sophomore days. Football, basketball, Mountain Echo, Student Council and Annual! VVhat would we do without him? Johnny as- sumed the responsibility of music for the social and that speaks for his capability. Now, as we go our diverse ways hereis our best to Johnny! A better sport and friend no one could find. Helen Faust 'Len never seems to be in a hurry, but she always gets her work done on time. One has only to see her in Latin class to realize this. VVhen most of us are stumbling through Virgilis Aeneid and wishing that Aeneas had been drowned in that terrible storm at sea, Helen is al- ways able to give good recitations. 'Len is active in the work of the Girls' League, too, is interested in athletic events, and is a good dancer.

Up to that time the high school had meant only a place to enter in search of lunch and to leave hurriedly, fearful of being late. But the time had come when the class had become so proud, yet it must be confessed nervous Freshmen. It was afternoon and we-yes, I admit I was of the group-met the upper classmen returning from school. They didn't appear to have been hurt, so we gathered all our courage and went on through the doors into the very school which was soon to become so familiar to us. The Hrst few days passed and we became adjusted to the school. VVho can forget the joys of meeting in the auditorium and incidentally missing a class? For it was afternoon, and to make time for chapel we had to take time from a class. But the days grew hotterg the novelty was wearing off. Grade schools had only half days. So did we, but the upper classmen had the wide-awake morn- ing, we had the afternoon. All through those hot days the Fresh- man class bravely walked to school, arriving tired and weary, but never- theless arriving. Someone should write a poem in honor of our fidelity. It could have the theme of The Charge of the Light Brigade. Finally the hot days were gone. Our attention was attracted by our school magazine. lt really was a magazine then, and its name was The Maroon and White. Of course we wanted to feel that we were helping to support it, so many of the Freshmen subscribed. But we longed for other worlds to conquer. Of course we liked the school magazine. Still we wanted something more. Accordingly in perhaps gave us the experience use- ful when the time came to help with our school paper. Finally the end of the school term arrived. For the last time we en- tered the school as Freshmen, the school, less awe-inspiring perhaps, but more satisfying. The timid Freshmen had become Sophomores. Sophomore Year Vacation was over. Once again we set out for school. How proud we were now to go in the morning with the Juniors and Seniors. As another recognition of our newly acquired dignity we occupied the balcony in chapel. From our lofty height we looked down upon the other classes, secretly envious of them. It must be admitted that we were too high to feel quite com- fortable. This was the year in which the school magazine was issued in newspaper form. Many of us con- tinued our own little class papers but we all felt proud of our school paper. Except for the school party and the school play, the Sophomore year was socially rather uneventful. VVhen the joy of calling someone else Freshie was no longer a novelty we began to yearn for vacation and a change of name ourselves. junior Year The vacation before our Junior year seemed very short and we were strangely glad to get back. Perhaps we were eager for more knowledge, perhaps we wished to see how it felt to be Juniors.

Oh, juniors, it does seem but a few weeks and not two and one-half years since we entered these homely yet beautiful portals, and then another year and we go out of this, our Alma Mater, as graduates. The tale of our freshman year is indeed a sad one, for we were sep- arated from our companions by a period of time known as noon. In other words, they went in the morn- ing and we freshmen in the after- noon. How hard it was for us to meet the glances of these super- cilious ones as we slowly and wearily trudged to school while they were going home. Nothing could have made us more conspicuous. We went in the afternoon-therefore we were freshmen. How often we went down the side of the street less frequently used in order to avoid these sophomore, junior, and senior glances. We toiled in the hot after- noons of spring while they were able to enjoy the glorious outdoors. But with all these troubles there was a silver lining. Yes, two silver linings. First, we could walk through the halls without being bumped about by some upper classman in a hurry. Second, the Girls, League had a heart and gave us a Freshman Frolic, and what a frolic it was! Then, too, there was the Girls' League picnic at Lakemont, and- shout it aloud l-the freshmen won all the important events. Having passed safely through that year of pitfalls and disgraces even through the tests so momentous to begin- ners, we came to the gateway of another year-as Sophomores. Now at last we could come into contact with that awesome body of reverends, the upper classmen. We were full of scholarly pride because we had left the estate of Freshmen and no problem in this world looked too big for us until we tried it. This year we had the great distinction of sitting in the balcony and reporting as near to heaven as was possible without using the roof. One great sorrow marked this year of our school life which, despite the joyful events, will always make us feel sad. On the day of President Coolidge's inauguration the radio wouldn't work and besides missing the ad- dress we were forced to return to our classes sooner than we had ex- pected. Through that uplifting year, not only uplifting in respect to being the students in our famous A. H. S., but from the daily coming together with the highlights of the then junior and Senior classes, we journeyed as would be expected and we budded forth as first class Sopho- mores. To the pride of our elders we opened the portals and entered juniordom. Even as Columbus sought for a new and strange land we sought in that new land more knowledge-and perhaps a little something else. We were strange in this new country and we tried to adjust our old world Sophomore puffed heads to a junior high hat. And here we are, half through our junior year with a glorious achieve- ment behind us, some of us already coming near the time when we shall leave our beloved Alma Mater, never to forget her. l 0 ,,,, , W, -EIIJES-sox? g g 1926 rl . .

On Tues- days and Thursdays of the afore- mentioned months a certain mysteri- ous man with a Roman nose and a seeking expression lurked in the hall about Room Eleven, even as he did on Mondays, VVednesdays and Fridays. He was only the janitor. The leader of the tried and true band of patriots to what the editor, called the meeting to order at ap- proximately 3:lO p. m. after giving the weak hearted members time to absent themselves from these trying ordeals. The details of this splendid enterprise engross several members of the band so deeply that the editor badly scratches Miss Stockton's desk by pounding so hard with his pencil. Finally order and attention prevail without the drastic use of dynamite, and the patriots are ready to continue plans for the revolution, The chairmen of the various factions give reports of their work. There is a noticeable lack of enthusiasm after the reports. Again several members become deeply engrossed in some subject, presumably concerning the Annual. The feeling is contagious. In a short time the editor finds him- self talking to empty air. The high ideals of the revolution wasted on thin air! Never! Attention and order are restored again, somewhat Worse for wear. The editor con- tinues his oration on the ethics of their peculiar patriotism. Suddenly the mysterious man with the Roman nose and seeking expression steps into the room. All eyes are drawn, as if by a magnet, to his. ln his eyes all fear to read the downfall of the revolution, the blasting of all hopes, the overthrow of their pa- triotism. He looks as if he is about to speak. Instead he picks up the waste paper basket and walks out. He is only the janitor. Their fears lulled, the editor continues. At this moment a fresh air fiend opens a window and confiscates a handful of snow from the window ledge. There is an air of impending dis- aster. Suddenly a lone male mem- ber on the other side of the room is painfully aware of a concussion of a mass of naturels geometric signs with his cheek. He too opens a window and takes his quota of snow. A battle is on. The editor quells this disturbance and introduces the business manager. The glowing description of high finance is so interesting that several drop off to the sweet realms of dream. The business manager Hnishes and the editor again indulges in a flight of oratory. A curious member dis- covers a College Humor while ex- ploring the interior of a desk. For a while hysterial, smothered laugh- ter and hiccoughs prevail. The editor perceives there is another disturbance and the College Humor is declared confiscated. The editor was a calm, cool, collected young man when he started. Now he is a haggard, wild-eyed youth afire with enthusiasm for his cause. The door opens and a person looks in and then asks if this is the Annual meet- ing. He is answered promptly and variously: f'The doctor is out now. VVon't you come in again?5' t'No. this is a meeting of the Board of International Complications on the segregation of the mentally unfit. Come in." And, "No, we hold this meeeting twice a week." The per- son decides it is the Annual meeting and he is welcomed like a sheep to the fold. The editor again speaks. In the midst of a fiery address the door opens and a mysterious man stands there like a man at the head of a band of police. The patriots QU ' aim--Y-fc D . . , nazi' la:-eel-if A u O E O r Eggs- .5 A' ALIBEELL 'IQ -Sa-swag gasp. However, he just replaces the waste paper basket and goes out again. He is only the janitor. Vari- ous motions are passed. It is get- ting late. The meeting adjourns. The editor goes his way to think over the work he has done and to dream of work to do. The mysteri- ous man with a Roman nose and a seeking ,expression slinks into the vacated room and looks as if he were searching for a clue. However he brings in a brush and pan and starts to clean the room. He is only the janitor. ' SCOTT GEESEY Farewell The staff of the Liber L grasps this opportunity to say Farewell to their friends and classmates. It was a great pleasure and a privilege to have such a group of splendid fel- lows and girls with whom we could workg our teachers from whom we have learned the value of integrity, fair play, concentration and clean living. Before we say our last farewell we would like to suggest something of Henry Van Dyke in which he says: "Four things a man must do, If he would keep his record true, To think without confusion, clearly, To love his fellow man sincerely, To act from honest motives, purely, we have been training for just such a challenge and here it is. Are we going to accept it or are we going to shirk it? If this book can bring back to your memory your school life it will have succeeded in a measureg but if it will aid in broadening some fel- lows life, if it will have given some- body a challenge to work harder, to concentrate more, to live life to its fullness, it will have attained a greater success than the mere suc- cess of its publication. Cnce more we say, classmates and teachers, it has been great fun being here with you, sharing your victor- ies and defeatsg and we are glad for the circle of friendship here in old Altoona High. Farewell, friends. To trust in God and heaven secure- 'ly IJ , May success in life be yours to the Is that not a great challenge for a better, broader life?

It is a kaliedoscope of school life- recitations, lectures and study or the gayer moments, dances, socials, the school paper gives to the world in print the activities. The school paper is also a reflection of the school spirit active or dormant. To make a school paper function, a staff of reporters is necessary. In order to select this staff names of all those interested in newspaper work were brought from the home rooms by Student Council members. These names were presented to the Student Council and the names were voted on. The editor-in-chief pro- posed was accepted by the Student Council. The associate editors and business manager were chosen in the same manner. Then one day in October a number of names were read in chapel summoning the elect to Room 16 at the close of school. Racking their brains as to what new offense they had committed, those called bowed their heads to the in- evitable. But it was not so bad- they were to constitute the per- sonnel of the Mountain Echo staff and upon their shoulders would rest the responsibility of getting out the issues. Every reporter was permitted to indicate the phase of work that appealed mostly to him and the reporter that made the best effort eventually figuring in his chosen department. With the quiet resolution of High School students with a task to do, the Echo staff, headed by the very green and scared author of this article, went about putting out the first issue. After losing a few pounds of weight and fast gathering a crop of gray hair, he placed the first issue in the hands of the students and the stafffs trembling hopes were realized-the issue passed the gruelling third de- gree of the school and was a howl- ing success, although, until this day, the staff still wonders what the students howled at. The circulation of the paper this year was under the supervision of Student Council members. As in former years the authorities en- deavored to keep the price within the range of the finances of all stu- dents in school. All members of the Student Activities Association received the Mountain Echo at the subscription rate of twenty-five cents for the year, while the non- association members received the issues at the rate of five cents a copy. The paper was published semi-monthly as the demand for news proved insatiable. It has always been the aim of the Moun- tain Echo staff to make the reading matter as interesting and varied as possible. During the 1925-26 term a wider range of material has been covered than in the entire history of the publication of the Mountain Echo. At the beginning of the year the Powers That Be issued an edict stating that no advertising, whatso- ever, would be used, in order to give more space for timely school topics. For the athlete, there is the sports column, for the humorist, the hilo- grams and jokes, for the lover of poetry, the poems, for the music lover, the music department, and in general there are stories, editorials, alumni, commercial notes, and items for all. The most essential element in the success of any publication is mate- rial. To get material is usually harder than pulling teeth. It is an established fact that an editor's life is a path of roses, but the following sidelights will help to change the fact. At the staff meeting, when assignments are made, the editor Il O E ls , 1 nl DUO' g . 19 2 6 may , Q5 0 5 ll E Q n EQ?-at--E9 5. 'T 'LlBER,L. if C A ?:-Q-of-me-:Jigga sets a date commonly known as the deadline on which all material must be in. On the appointed day the ditor nonchalantly sets out for a stroll for material. Beginning at one end of the corridor, he leisurely runs a gauntlet. Accosting his com- panion-in-crime, VVard Konkle, he sternly asks for an editorial. The reply smites his ears that the edi- torial will be finished two days hence-couldnit get it done-dance last night. Muttering inaudibly, the editor meets Harriet Hoenstine who eagerly hands him the completed exchanges. Feeling that he has at least one dependable staff reporter, a voice indignant across the hall arouses the editor from his reverie inquiring, why Nellie Goodman's name did not appear among those of the alumnae reporters in the last issue. Assuring the inquirer that the matter would be corrected, a sleepy query comes from Bobby Boltz wondering why the Echo does not print more jokes-surely there must be some around school? Agreeing with the gentleman, the editor wobbles into a reporting where a red-headed poet, named Geesey, leisurely tenders a poem entitled "All About Girlsf' Passing out the door Cupid Reinhart hands the editor a manuscript enlarging upon the fame of the Industrials. Hope begins to revive the editor. At the light well, he pauses for a breathg Virginia Leader innocently asks if the Girls' League writeup can go until tomorrow morning, for they ought to be copied in ink? Yes, it will be perfectly all right Cone must be courteous to the ladiesj. Next stop is Ross Ackerman, who gives the editor an account of Mr. VVhosis' talk in chapel. but he could not remember the other speaker for he was asleep when the latter spoke. Drawing on his reserve strength, the editor asks Reba Johnson for Oh yes, but sorry-a friend of hers is reading it and will give it back soon. Choking back a sotty ex- pletive, the editor, a trifle Stone- wall Jacksonish, marches on. Ex- celsior! the goal fthe English officej is in sight. Sprinting on the last lap, the editoris way is barred by Sarah Tobin who demands to know why her writeup of the Minstrel Show was not in the last issue. Gulping audibly, the worn-out plea of lack of space is offered and after a stormy session is passed. That last danger passed, the editor col- lapses into a chair in the editorial sanctum and gloomily remembers through the mists that the typing, dummy ,pasting and circulation must be done before the issue will be complete. Yes, indeed, an editor's life is a path of roses, but why is he prematurely gray? Of course, when the Mountain Echo came out, it no doubt looked so nice and easy that often no one ever gives a thought to all that went to make it look that way. It is hard to realize the amount of collecting, reading, writing, and typing that it takes to send each issues to the press. This cannot be done without hardg-earnest and con- stant work on the ..'.. piirtof every staff reporter. However, the staff has been willing and' reliable and has helped the editorial. staff on every side to make the Mountain Echo a successful school paper. The editor wishes to thank Mr. Clark and Mr. Hall for their help in keeping the finances straight and, last but not least, Miss Mulock, without whose guiding hand the Mountain Echo would not exist. In spite of these little sidelights, it has been a fas- cinating and helpful task and it is hoped that the Mountain Echo will continue to grow bigger, broader, and better each succeeding year.

CDU 0 ll ll E ll QDO The Student Activities Association ' just before school began this year the School Board decided to give the Students of the Altoona High School a greater voice in the man- agement of their own affairs. The pupils were whole-heartedly in favor of this plan, and so on September 16, 1925, the Student Activities As- sociation was organized. Every one who was a student of either the Senior or the Lincoln High School and who paid his dues was a mem- ber of this organization. It was then necessary to appoint an executive body to manage the affairs of the organization effec- tively. This executive body is the Student Council. It consists of one representative from each of the forty-four attendance 'rooms. At the first council meeting, the following officers were elected: President .................. Raymond Hoffman Vice President Charles Flickinger Secretary .......................... Ward Thomas Treasurer .................,............. John VVood Since that time the Vice President has left school and Joseph Wilson was elected to take his place. Later as part of the Student Government plan, Home Room Clubs were established to hold meetings on Thursday mornings. At these meetings the Student Council member gives a report of the Council meeting held the Wed- nesday morning before. This club meeting indicates to the councillor the attitude of the students on any question he may bring before them so that he may in turn report to the Council. The Student Council takes all these views into consideration and acts in accordance with the feel- ing of the majority. The plan is very similar to that of our State government, the Stu- dent Association representing the State and its citizens, the Council, the legislative body, the Home Room Clubs, the polls where every citizen voices his opinion. This Student Activities Associa- tion is under the guidance of Mr. Hall, Student-Adviser and Assistant Principal. Its purpose is to bring the students of the school into closer relationship with each other, to foster more friendly feelings, and to train Altoona High School students along the lines of self government. The plan has been a success so far, and proves that High School Students if given the opportunity are competent to manage their own activities.

She left us with the thought: f'As girls we should strive to keep our standards above criti- cism, because we are the ones who shape the ideals of our country. We must not buy popularity but earn it through actions that become a girlf, Of course plans for the annual Christmas Party were being made by this time, and preparatory to this party planned for the twenty- second of December Miss Vtfilt and Mr. Tice of the Physical Education Department of the Junior High School demonstrated modes of cor- rect dancing. 9 The last meeting of the old year was an eventful one. To begin with-Christmas and the Christmas Party were in the air. Then, too, a most interesting program was in store. Frances Brallier and Betty Lingenfelter, two of our scholarship girls, presented a Dance and Music Recital. The piano numbers pre- sented by Betty Lingenfelter were: Beethoven's Sonata, Chopin's Im- promptu in C Sharp Minor and Prelude in C Minor. Frances Brallier danced the Hungarian Rhapsody in costume. Everyone was vastly pleased with the excellent work of these two girls. That evening the best party ever was enjoyed. There was a delightful program and fol- lowing that, dancing. Very clever and appropriate favors were given. Thus ended the old year! January the fifth began the meet- ings of the New Year. This meet- ing was featured by the presentation Tif'fl?mC354!

This Honor Roll includes students making an average of ninety or above in four five-period subjects for the year. The awards this year for the iirst time included the gold- pin girls-those who had maintained the average for three consecutive years. Fourteen silver pins were awarded to those who had main- tained the average for two years, and twenty-one bronze pins were awarded to the girls having kept the standard for one year. Doctor Robb in his usual happy way con- gratulated the girls on the Honor Roll, and giving them his best wishes, presented to the following their respective pins: Gold Pins fFourteenl Catherine Beattie Miriam Bechhoefer Dorothy Boyer Gertrude Craine Caroline Eckels Dorothy Geib Margaret Hall Virginia Leader Mary McKelvey Elizabeth McKee YVinifred McClure Elizabeth Schinnningcr Eleanor Stecknian Eleanor VVilson Silver Pins Ufourteenj Grace Baker Suzanne Banks Betty Bing Dorothy Brubaker Harriet Hocnstine Janice Kaulfman Margaret Leopold Ida Rubin Virginia Varner Bronze Pins fTwenty-onel Florence Barnard Helen Faust Gladys Feist Harriet Ferguson Marie Gee Thelma Isenberg Regina Meek Martha D.

This group pre- sented unusually well the one-act play by Edward Pepe entitled How the Vote Was Won, under the direc- tion ot Miss Ritts. The cast was ably assisted by Herbert Owens and Thomas Abernathy. The Girls' League has certainly appreciated the co-operation and assistance of the boys throughout the year. The main feature of the Marc-h meeting was a contest in extempo- raneous public speaking by the Girls' Forum. The girls participat- ing were given slips of paper on which were written assigned topics. The speakers were allowed from three to four minutes. The follow- ing particpated: Verna Antes, Elea- nor Barnhart, Cordelia Coffey, Mar- garet Leopold, Caroline Eckels, Eleanor Miller and Helen O'Neil. The judges were the presidents of the various groups of the League: Harriet Hoenstine, chairmang Mary Henderson, Reba Johnson, Louise Jamison, Louise Wilson, Verna Krumbine, Zora Miller. The con- test demonstrated the value of such training in floor speaking. The prize winners were Verna Antes, firstg Margaret Leopold, sec- ondg Caroline Eckels, third. While this sort of meeting was a bit un- usual, it was thoroughly enjoyed. And everyone was of the opinion that the Girls' Forum was a valu- able addition to the League. The last meeting was held in April. Naturally there was a lot of business. The annual reports of the Secretary and Treasurer were heard. The Washington trip was success- fully over, consequently an interest- ing account of it was given. April 30 was the evening set for the Mother and Daughter supper. Final arrangements were made by the Senior girls. The supper was a huge success. The guests of the evening included Superintendent Laramy, Dr. Robb, and Miss Charlotte E.

The cafeteria was attractively decorated and the High School Orchestra furnished the music for the evening. The main feature -of the evening was an ad- dress by Miss Ray, who spoke of the problems confronting a girl just entering college. This meeting with our mothers was one of the most pleasant events of the year. When in closing, as we sang our Alma Mater, we all realized and appreci- ated our privilege as Senior girls in such a never-to-be-forgotten eve- ning. Everyone agreed that the success of the evening was largely due to the committee: Regina Meek, Chairman Eleanor Wilson Margaret Hall A good deal of gratitude was felt These girls were all mid-year seniors of the class of 19252 and all capable of handling their offices. A picnic was planned for October 24. All arrangements were made but bad weather conditions com- pelled the plans to be finally aban- doned. The big task of this group was the planning of the school party for December 22, 1925. This annual party is really given by the Girls' League as a whole, but the prepara- tions for it are left to the girls of the Entertainment Group. Committees look after all' the details. The girls put forth their best efforts, with the result that the party was one of the nicest social affairs ever held in A. H. S.

So well did Paul Smith and Herbert Owens play these parts their teachers were worried for fear they would resume their feud in school the next day. The childish quarrels and petty differences of these two men brought on frequent attacks of hysteria on the part of Mrs. Nettleton who tried without success to bring about a peaceful settlement. Reba Johnson in this role of tears and nerves was so natural that we feared for her usual smiles and sunshiny manner. At last affairs reached a climaxg the partners would no longer continue in business together. They called in a lawyer, Thomas Vanderholt, to annul the partnership. Ralph Rider as the lawyer made a strong appeal with his calm and professional air. His dictation was particularly good. The two men refused all terms of settlement. At last in despair the lawyer suggested they should play a hand of poker, the winner to take over the business and the loser to be the winner's servant for the term of one year. If either partner told of the agreement he would not only lose his share in the business but Rodkey as the clever young miss who so skilfully ensnared the lawyer demonstrates her ability to lill the leading role. The joy of the part- ners upon this discovery was pro- found and the curtain falls on a repetition of the first scene, the part- ners arguing, only this time about the value of the other's assistance in the management of the business. The entire play was so well inter- preted that every minute was full of fun and excitement. The mem- bers of the cast played their various parts so naturally a stranger might have mistaken them for profes- sionals. The only regret is that such plays come but once a year. At the February meeting of the Girls' League the Dramatic Group took charge of the program. They presented the one-act play, How the Vote Was Won. This play was also given before the Parent-Teacher Association. It was received with great applause by both organiza- tions. This amusing little act dealt with the period in England when the women were struggling for Woman Suffrage. As all other at- tempts to winithe vote had failed, the women finally decided to give up their various employments and go to the home of their nearest male OU Qwefam-Q or if 1926 TT e we e-mga Dr E E VZ l ill lo O rSg6?gal:1:i5l.

VVhen all his female relatives invaded his house, Horace Cole, a poor young clerk who had no means to support his relatives, threatened to call the police if they did not leave. However, he realized the hopelessness of the situation and when Aunt Lizzie with her dog and parrots, Cousin Mollie with her golf clubs, and Maudie Sparks, the skeleton in the family closet, sur- rounded the house, all declaring their intention of living with him, Horace Cole suddenly discovered that he had always been in favor of VVoman Suffrage. He was spared the trouble of denouncing Parlia- ment for that long suffering body had been beset by men all over the country, goaded on by the thought of supporting a dozen women the rest of their life, and had passed a law allowing them to vote. After their object had been accomplished the relatives departed leaving the Coles to settle down to normal liv- ing. The audience thoroughly enjoyed the clever acting of the characters. Even the parrots-fickle birdsfthat had refused to talk behind the scenes for the cast suddenly found their voices while on the stage and squawked a number of unintelligible phrases, to the delight of the audi- ence and the confusion of the actors. And so the speech-inclined birds had to be borne away still protest- ing violently, no doubt intoxicated by their sudden rise to fame, and the cast resumed composure.

Mildred Mullen The work of group meetings of the Dramatic Section was specially helpful. Miss Ritts at different times contrasted the construction of early theaters with those of today, and stressed the elements that enter into a forceful and successful dramatic presentation. The girls appreciate the untiring efforts of Miss Ritts in behalf of the dramatic group. - THE SOCIAL SERVICE GROUP The Social Service Group of the Girls' League under the efficient direction of Miss .Phillips was or- ganized November 3, 1925. Sixty- five girls enrolled and elected as officers: President ................,......... Louise VVi1son Viee President ........ .....,.... A nna Fleck Secretary ....,.......... ,.,.......

Their duties include the distribution of greetings and Howers to those who are sick or shut in and they have helped an invalid boy to keep up with his work looking toward graduation. A growing interest has been the Christmas gifts to the orphans at the VVilliamsburg Children's Home. The list of boys and girls with their respective ages posted on the bul- letin board this year numbered eighty-six children. No one was forgotten and the gifts were taken to the home in person by the girls. Easter also was marked by the thoughtful remembrance of the sick in the two city hospitals with potted flowers. The children of the hos- pitals throughout the year were cheered by the scrap books made by the girls and sent to the con- valescent children. Many an hour was made less tedious and painful to the children because of the pleas- 0 , .W .

At the Girls' League Party the Social Service Group presented the Candle Exercise which was symbolic of the work done by that group. The number was one of the best on the program and was generally praised for its beauty. The members of the Social Serv- ice Department have maintained the traditions of the group for unselfish service and they hand on to the girls of 1927 the torch of light and service. THE VOCATIONAL GROUP The organization of this group for the year of 1925-26 took place in October, 1925, under the direction of Miss Eberle, with Verna Krum- bine as President, Dorothy Carter as Secretary, Gladys Cassidy as Treasurer. VVhile very little is heard of this group, it is probably the most active of all, it "carries on" every day, selling candy at lunch time. Candy selling is apparently a very profitable business, for this activity is the chief source of the scholarship and activities fund. The initial appearance of the Vocational Group was made at the Christmas Party. Groups of figures representing different vocations open to women was their stunt. The scientist was shown in Madame Curie, a woman's position in politics by Ma Ferguson, housewifely duties were represented by the dietitian and the Gold Dust twins. This un- usual stunt 'fwent over big" and won the recognition and admiration of all the other groups. THE GIRLS' FORUM One of the additions to the Girls' League this year is the dpeartment known as the Girls' Forum. The Forum was introduced to fill a keenly felt need, that of training for extemporaneous speaking. The first steps taken were in articulation and enunciation, and Miss Turner, who directed the work, had a rather hard time with the girls. In one of the first meetings the discussion was on what made a good conversation and a good speaker. Thereafter at each meeting a conversation was pre- pared by various girls. After the conversation the speakers were criticized and the fine points dis- cussed. At the Girls' League party the Forum introduced a new cus- tom, that of hanging wreaths in memory of former teachers of the Altoona High who have died in service to the school. But the Forum has not hidden itself in the cafeteria. On Tuesday, March 16, it made its debut in an extemporaneous speaking contest. The chairman was Harriet Hoen- stine, President of the League, and the judges were the presidents of the various departments. The con- test showed the results of the work of the Forum. It was both interest- ing and instructive, an inducement for under classmen when consider- ing departments next year. The speakers were allowed three minutes each, and Timekeeper Helen Faust was accurate to the second. lilanor Barnhart, Verna Antes, Margaret Leopold, Ruth Miller and Carolyn Eckels spoke. The judges based their decisions on delivery, organiza- tion, and subject matter. Verna Antes, who spoke on The Ideal Lady, won nrst place, Margaret Leopold, who told What Constitutes a True Friendship, won second place, Carolyn Eckels, telling what were The Keys to Success, was voted third. This year is the first year of the Forum's existence, and it is a group with few members, but it has been a successful, enjoyable, profitable year, and it is the hope of every member that the Forum may grow from year to year. The retiring oflicers who with Miss Turner have guided the work of the Forum are: President ......,............. Margaret Leopold Vice President .............

This Union Station impressed us both with its size and its beauty. In this building is the largest room in the world. An army of fifty thou- sand' meh could stand on its floor. This magnihcent station was built through the combined efforts of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, the Baltimore and Ohio, the United States and the District of Columbia. It is patterned after the designs of the triumphal arches of Rome. At the station we were loaded into the huge buses and thence transported to the Franklin Square Hotel. We were, with a little difficulty assigned to our rooms. After we had duly inspected them, off to slumberland we went. We were awakened on Thursday morning by the telephone ringing promptly at 7 :OO A. M. After a good breakfast we started our sightseeing expedition. First we went to the Corcoran Gallery of Arts. For many of the girls it was the first visit to a fine art gallery. Neighboring to the Art Gallery was the Pan-Ameri- can Union which we visited next. It is here that representatives from all Pan-American countries come to settle all questions which arise. In their conference room is a chair for each representative which is carved with the seal of his country. The Secretary of State presides at all these meetings. The most wonder- ful attraction in this building is the patio which abounds in all sorts of tropical plants of gorgeous coloring, flowers of dazzling hues. In the rear of this building is a beautiful open court in which grew myriads of spring fiowers. After this our guide conducted us to the Red Cross Memorial,Hall in which are relics of the World War and all those weapons which were used to carry our armies on to vic- tory. By this time it was almost noong hurriedly we inspected parts of the White House. The next day we re- turned to the Vtfhite House to meet and shake hands with our President. After lunch, some more hustle and bustle and off we went for the street car which took us first to the Arlington Cemetery where thou- sands of our heroic dead are buried. VVe gazed with awe upon the new Amphitheatre and the Unknown Soldier's tomb. We piled back into the street cars which took us on to Mt. Vernon, the old home of George Washington. We inspected all the rooms, marvelling at the quaint old pieces of furniture. The view of the Potomac from the lawn of Mt. Ver- non was superb. There was not one of the party who did not thor- oughly enjoy her visit to this beauty spot famous also as the residence and final resting place of the father of our country. The trip back to Washington on the steamer was es- pecially enjoyable. By the time we reached VVashington we were raven- ously hungry. That evening was spent at the theater. On Friday we visited the Capitol and it surpassed our highest ex- pectations. Wie saw Congress and the Supreme Court in session. This was a particularly interesting as well as profitable experience for all of us. Next-to the new and old Na- tional Museums which were hlled with countless wonders. Truly it would havc taken weeks to examine everything. That afternoon we toured the city in sightseeing buses. Some took the extended tour to the Cathedral of St. Peter and St. Paul or the Washington Cathedral. This Cathedral was in L'Enfant's original plan of Washington. The idea was to have a national church where would be buried the bodies of our II O 2.I "' I -W I IIII OI U Igi III II .I II II I I I I I. II ODQ 3 1 9 2 6 J 53'-7?f2.H73ElfKf I I 1 4 E S?

This Cathedral is located on Mt. St. Albans. It is one of the most beauti- ful churches in the world. It com- pares very favorably with the Cathedrals of Europe. Of all the splendors of Wasliiiig- ton the most wonderful and beauti- ful is the Lincoln Memorial. This memorial, in its greatness and sim- plicity, is symbolic of the character of Lincoln. That evening we made a short visit to the Congressional Library. There were as many in- teresting things here that in a week we could not have explored all the little corners of the building. Saturday morning we arose early for our last day. VVe first went to Washingtoii monument where a very few exerted themselves to climb this wonderful structure. From the top of this the view is wonderful. The plan of the city is perfectly clear and all the important buildings are to be seen from the After this we visited the Bureau of Engraving and Printing where all our paper money is made. It was a grand sight to see paper money wholesale. One of the unexpected pleasures we enjoyed through the courtesy of the Hon. J. Banks Kurtz was a trip to and an inspection of the May- Hower, the President's private yacht. Promptly at 3 140 the train left for Altoona. VVe were very sorry to leave the most beautiful city in the United States. The hours of home- ward trip were spent in singing, playing cards and games and dis- cussing these things we had most enjoyed. The meal on the diner was another fine feature to most of us. VVe arrived in Altoona at 10:50 P. M. We were very nearly ex- hausted but all that we had seen and heard was complete reward for the little that we suffered. A trip like that one comes but seldom in a lifetime and the Senior girls of Altoona High School thoroughly enjoyed every minute of their rare O U ll top of the monument. pleasure.

I relaxed still more, and let my little craft go where it would. There was nothing to disturb my thoughts but the faint, sweet trilling of a songbird. Dreamily I pictured my classmates as I had last seen them on Commencement night- just a month ago. My vagrant mind lazily wondered where they would all be twenty years from now. I sank further down among the soft cushions. Was that really a bird singing close by? There surely was a human note in that lovely song. Truly it was a voice, a strangely familiar one-that of our ever charming Vice President, Gladys Feist. How foolish of me to have thought it a bird's! There was Gladys herself-with soft dark eyes and curling hair standing on a great platform. Before her a huge audi- ence of eager music lovers packed the floors of the Carnegie Music Hall. At the piano sat Helen Taylor, calm and self-possessed as of old and ever more skillful with her fingers. Evidently these two were giving a joint recital-a wondnerful, a beautiful concert. The scene faded. The same plat- form loomed before me but the set- ting was quite different. NVhere before it had been arranged for a musical recital now it was decorated with beautiful furniture set off by soft lights from delicately colored lamps. Behind the orchestra sat a great crowd of people, but this time the audience was rocking with laughter. Between their spasms of hysterical mirth, I recognized on the front of the stage the versatile dramatists-Reba Johnson and Her- bert Qwens. How I longed to see the programs. For no play with Reba and Herb in the cast would have been complete without our other dramatic star, Hilda Rodkey. All too soon the gorgeous theat- rical setting, the happy people, the brilliant cast faded. A faint clicking sound grew louder and louder. It was--yes, I could not have been mistaken-the sound of typewriters. A business office took form-and there sat the inseparable Bigelows. Twenty years had changed them little. My heart glowed at the sight of their sunny faces. These two, as capable private secretaries were working in a large' luxuriously equipped office. It was evidently a partnership firm. The initials "H, SL W.', were carved on all the rich furniture. My first conjecture that it was a business union of Hollar and Wilson proved correct. I could not discover what was their line of business but I was certain that it was a prosperous and happy or- ganization. Darkness veiled the office! The typewriters were silent. All was quiet and dark for a minute. But when the light became brighter I saw a great assembly of women, , banqueting. However, I discovered three men in their midst. I was greatly puzzled to see Raymond Hoffman, Earnest Linker and Charles Garrity among so many women. A lady began to speak whom I recognized as Harriet Hoenstine. Her words straightened out the tangle in my mind. I real- ized that this was the meeting of the League of VVomen Votersg that Harriet was Presidentg and that she took "very great pleasure in intro- ducing our distinguished guest, the Hon. Raymond E. Hoffman, candi- date for the oflice of Governor of Pennsylvania." I knew now that Earnest and Charles were there in this great crisis as allies of their old chum. After he had finished speak- ing, the spacious hall resounded with applause. Finally the clapping el EIIIIIA is . f E 1 al 5 . ll lin, ll Ill il inf HW 15 lif gd gl li? , 14' 1 4. 5 ls : 553 if if a i YQ lil If 5 ffl. ll alll.

Wilson." Dr. Wilson moved that the League of Women Voters of Altoona should whole-heartedly sup- port Mr. Hoffman in his campaign. It was seconded by Altoona's only woman lawyer, Regina Meck. The motion was carried unanimously. Eagerly now, while I had time I began to scan the faces of the other women. In the crowd were many of the alumnae of A. H. S. The mem- bers of IZ6 predoniinated and in- cluded Margaret Leopold, Dorothy Hafner, Marion Plitt and Eleanor Steckmang in the background with an expression of mingled anxiety and pleasure was Virginia Beam. Then, from her authoritative man- ner it dawned upon me that this was the cafe she had dreamed of even in High School days. Even- this most interesting scene became indistinct and at last, in- visible. I surely could have found more of my classmates in as an intelligent group as that which had just disappeared. However, in a moment a magnificent bank build- ing more beautiful even than the First National which in 1926 I had thought so handsome, took form before me. William D. Lingenfelter and Alfred S. Craine seemed to be in control here. They had not the worried expression which often had veiled their features in the days when I knew them well. Money must be easier to get in a bank than it had been from High School Seniors. No doubt now these boys reckoned in millions rather than in hundreds. No wonder their faces were wreathed in smiles. But all too quickly this picture slipped away, my visions were mov- ing faster-here, a splendid Girls' Athletic School presided over by Misses Mary Henderson and Bea- trice Ayersg there, a splendid Ladies' Beauty Parlor inspired by Mademoiselles Masterson and Ech- ardg now, a gorgeous ball room filled with dancers, the strains of jazz produced by Francis Wood's "Harmony Kingsug then-an im- maculate hospital whose head nurse I recognized as Harriet Fay and whose chief surgeon I knew to be Joseph D. Findley, Ir. Bump! Bump! Where in the world was I? No wonder things had been moving faster. I was nearly in the only whirlpool which marred the glassy surface of that little lake-a freak of nature-but, thank fortune, I awoke in time. Swiftly I regained my paddles and skimmed over the water to the shore. When I had pulled my canoe onto the shore and started back to my mountain camp I began to think. Were all those visions only idle dreams? Had sleep and that pleas- ant summer day created only fan- tasies in my mind? Surely not, it all had seemed so real. I must cer- tainly have been inspired by some god of nature. It is probable that I shall never know whether or not my dreams were prophetic. But somehow, deep in my heart, I feel that, true or false, they are auguries of a good fortune that is destined to befall the 'fiftieth graduating class of Altoona High School, the class of nineteen twenty-six.

It was the last belated high school affair of the season. Rain had caused the picnic event to be held indoors in the high school building. It was a gloomy night for a dance. Tom had asked Darby under family direc- tion too urgent to be denied. "You know Mrs. Lane expects you to ask Darby. NVe are such good friends. Anyway Mildred is away at school,', his mother had pleaded. "But mother, does a man have to have his whole life regulated by a gang of women? VVhy can't I go stag?l' "Just the same Tom, to please me?l' f "0 darnf' he had acquiesced. So accordingly, one misty, moisty night, when cloudy was the weather in a frame of mind to suit, Tom escorted Darby to the social. just before he left his domicile his none too jubilant spirits had grown less lively upon receipt of a tele- gram from Mildred. She announced she would return for the last half of the affair. an Now he was in dutch. They entered the building at eight thirty. In the noisy auditorium nonsensical and witty retorts were flying back and forth. Girls dressed in the latest phantom red, lovebird green, French blue made the audi- torium appear as a live Christmas the Whistle tree. Whisperings ceased as with great dignity assumed for the oc- casion the President announced the program. As the famous blue vel- vet curtains parted they disclosed the time worn quartet in their abso- lutely last appearance. Then came the usual play and some clever puns which caused some to squirm and several pairs of ears to redden con- siderably. Meanwhile Tom fidgeted and planned bearing everything in silence. Surreptitiously he glanced at his timepiece. Nine o'clock and Mildredls train arrived at nine fifty-five His accomplice and ally, Mart, had promised to be Darby's most ardent admirer until Tom managed to slip away and greet Mildred. And now at this late date Darby had to go and request refreshments. Darby was a good sport-but-she had one weakness. It was remark- able how the girl ever remained slender and then managed to make the basketball team too. Safely jostled through the danc- ing crowd Tom quickly ordered a Whistle, following Darbyls prece- dent. She had an insatiable thirst. Tom glanced at the clock. Nine Hfty. A far off train whistle dinned in his ears. Splash! and pop goes the VVhistle. A surprised brunette glared from her dress to Tom. Necessity surely is the mother of invention. , "O I'm so sorry!" he exclaimed. Illl call some of the girls to aid you." "That,s all right," stammered Darby, whose resentment had cooled. "If you'll excuse me a little while I'll get fixed up." 'flixcuse you, why I guess I will. I mean-O, I don't know what I'm saying. Is there anything I can do ?" 0 l I O lg?-tggmomy . 19 2 6 .

'fWhen did you arrive? How nice of you to come." "just a few minutes ago. The janitor let me in after I gave him my complete history." just then Mrs. Pritchard came and more enthusiastic greetings fol- lowed. That evening after Marjorie had been established in Marian's room, for she declared she would have it no other way, the three had a long pleasant talk. Marjorie explained, "I know you are both anxious to hear why I came so unexpectedly. Dad developed rheumatism and the doctor ordered him south. Of course mother had to go along. Then I was the prob- lem. I didn't want to go with them, so I remembered the invitation to visit you that you gave me when you were leaving last summer, Aunt Helen. So here I am. Can you put up with me for a whole winter, Marian ?'! "Can I? Wait and see the good times we will have!" As the days flew by Marjorie proved a welcome addition to the small family. Merry, helpful, and only a few years older, she was an ideal companion for Marian, and interested in all her school activities. On Christmas Day, trimmed with holly and pine with a tree bright with balls and tinsel and a fire burn- ing in the grate, the little apartment fairly glowed with cheer. Marian was joyously happy as she opened her gifts, books, gloves, and a scarf from Mother, just what she had wanted. But when Marjorie placed in her hands a big box she was almost too excited to open it. And when she did there was a dress, peach and silver-with slippers to match! Now she could go to the dance, oh joy! Marian went not only to that dance, but to all the others, looking lovely in sweet frocks-Marjorie's, of course! VVhat a dear Marjorie was to lend them to her! After Commencement, Marjorie went to join her Mother and Father who had returned. Marian hated to see her go. How much she owed to her-her whole happy year! Several days afterwards a letter came from Marjorie saying that her father had a position for Mrs. Pritchard in his offlce, and that Marian and her mother must come to live with them. A little sneaking thought came into Marian's mind. "VVhat if Marjorie's father hadn't had rheumatism?"

E I i i ! l o I I ll ill ODO The Brown Dog Jumps I watched from my window as the last truck left the drive. It was june and all the flowers were in bloom. Across from where we lived was a brown stone mansion. To me it stood for the greatest luxury. As I got the last glimpse of the Thor- ton family I wondered how they could leave so beautiful a home. To me it was a castle, a home ht for kings and queens. Many a night had I heard the strains of a dance orchestra as it played for a ball in the silvery glow of the summer moonlight. And I recalled many an incident of the past. How could people be so brave? They were brave indeed for they were leaving this palace where life had been a whirl of parties and entertainments for a small town where every con- venience was denied them. What if Mr. Thorton had failed as a con- tractor and must seek new work? Why leave this palace? Why not start over again here? But while I wondered they had gone. Many successes and failures have been wrought since that June day ten years ago. Today another fam- ily sports on those lawns, plays in that castle, and basks in the luxury of it all. But perhaps my readers would know the story of my dream palace, of this brown stone mansion, which today the Thortons do not own because Mr. Thorton could not afford the upkeep. To enjoy the story one must know a few little secrets about the neigh- borhood. It is rather a rural dis- trict with the houses quite a dis- tance apart. Where the street car stopped, a quarter of a mile down the road, there was a grove of trees. Attached to one tree and concealed in a metal 'box was the button or switch for the electric roadlights. These lights connected both at our house and that of the Thortonsl Two weeks had elapsed after the departure of the Thortons. The house across the way was quiet. The blinds were drawn and the doors locked. One day in July we saw Mrs. Thorton come to the house and afterwards she came and called my mother. On her face was consternation. "My dear Mrs. Alloway, can you tell me-oh, have you seen anyone near our house lately?" "No. Why do you ask?" asked my mother. "Because someone has been in. You know when we left we took only what we needed. I left much of the old family silver and the antique collections and good china -and ever so much more, and it is gone! It has been the work of days to remove what has been taken." No one could offer an explanation. The manner of entrance and exit was a mystery. Nothing showed signs of tampering. The only thing to do was to put detectives to work. The state police of the county took up the matter. VVe were introduced to Sergeant Austin of the State Police and I revelled in the acquaint- ance of so illustrious a person. Here I was in the heart of a robbery! Maybe I would find the robber. As I thought of the thrills that one might meet during the search for the plunderers I determined to have a hand in the unravelling of this mystery, and what is more Sergeant Austin had told us that we might be of use to him, to keep on the lookout. He told us we should have signals-more thrills, signals! I could hardly believe my ears. I listened intently. The signal to be given at the sight of a suspicious person lurking on the premises would be a quick switching on and off of the road lights. There would always be someone concealed on the 0 l ll in ll O U QUQ 1 9 2 6 J -of-Ezriilgfg? -"- . f P - 'ie Q ,',, DQ ,,,, .WT "f,QQfff, ' L' SEED 62-rfl5'5?-,. . N375 as A ..,. .... - grounds. That night I tossed in excitement with the thought that I might be missing something. From my bedroom window I could see the road lights. Suddenly they went on. Paralyzed with the suddenness I lay still. What should I do? However, after wasting some minutes in ex- cited thought I perceived that the lights were still on. This was not the signal. I looked out. It was only one of the family coming home. The next day I saw at the street car tracks a truck apparently aban- doned. There was a trunk on it, and a little brown dog sat on the driver's seat. I passed the truck with little concern for I saw it had a Hat tire and on the side was written "NVhite's Transferf, Days went by and no conclusion was reached. The case was given up. 0119 Eriday ZLIUOLLT six weeks Later my mother and I went to see a woman who had been doing our washing and who without sending word had failed to come the Mon- day before. just at the entrance to her house we met Sergeant Austin who asked us if we had noticed any movement about the Thorton house lately. At that moment in the door of Mrs. Dwight's house appeared Mrs. Dwight and what should rush past her but the little brown dog I had seen on the truck some weeks before. It jumped at me as if to bite, and Sergeant Austin rushed to tear the dog away. It turned its attention from me to him, bit at his leg and ran into the house. Sergeant feared the dog was mad and deemed it wise to catch him. I-Ie followed him into the house. The dog rushed from one room to another and was hnally cornered in the pantry, where it had pushed the swinging door to obtain entrance. Mrs. Dwight said she would go in and bring the dog out if we waited outside. After we had waited a few minutes Sergeant Austin grew impatient and entered. There was the dog crouching at Mrs. Dwightls feet. 'KI was just coming out," she said, "Brownie is quiet nowf' But he was not. I-Ie jumped, not at me nor at Sergeant Austin but at Mrs. Dwight, and as she took her hand to ward off the attack her other hand lost its grip-for she was holding something in her apron. Out fell some of the Thorton silver. A search of the house revealed all the stolen property. When the case was tried the story told was this: Mrs. Dwight on her vvay hgme from work at our house one day had seen a curtain in the basement move. She went over and found the window open just a crack. That night she returned and suc- ceeded in opening the window. From that time on she and her family had taken things from that house. That side of the house was not visible from ours nor was it passed by many people, so much of the robbery had been done in broad daylight. It was probably done without criminal intent, just with the desire for beautiful silver and store of pretty bric-a-brac, just as the brown dog had jumped, not to betray, but to sport in its own crude way, on the spur of sudden desire. Brown dogs often jump, but not every one brings down with it as prey-a rob- ber.

Nor was this his only distinguishing characteristic. He was the best dresser and the best looker and didn't have to worry about dance refusals. He has the glossy, sleek, precise hair, the creased balloon trousers, voluminous to the latest degree in style. His aquiline nose enhanced his appearance- All the girls wondered whom he was accom- panying to the social-all but one. She herself one of the classiest, entertained set ideas as to gentle- manly conduct. VVhen Peg Larner had entered the school late in the year she expected tribute. Her pretty blue eyes opened wide when she was brushed aside and jim stalked heedlessly on into the cafe- teria. Peg was not used to being ignored-few pretty blondes are. jim munched away on his second lunch. "NVho's the new girl?'l His sentences were abrupt from neces- sity. "Peg? Suits me. Guess I'll take her to the social." VVith a confident air Jim got an introduction and assumed a certain proprietorship. Later he conferred upon her the honor of attending the dance in his company. She sweetly accepted. Surprised, reader? Re- elements were in harmony. The moon was in the sky, the stars were all set right, and as jim whisked Peg off in his shiny Jordan he felt well satisfied. At last he had got a girl to suit. "VVow!" A puncture marred the silence of the night. Juno had des- cended in all her wrath and Troy was lost. jim slaved and toiled long hot minutes. Stray damp hairs straggled over his forehead. A black smudge of dirt marred his perfect features. Peg was carelessly sitting on his much pressed coat which he had laid aside while he performed his torturing work. The stars were still in the heavens, but a faint shadow was crossing them now. A car slowly drove up as if the driver were searching for something. "Hello, Jim. Sorry I don't have any spares to fit. Leave the bus here. I'll take you both along to the social if you don't mind traveling in a Ford. l'm going stag anyway." jim joyfully accepted. But a puzzled frown displaced his joyous expression of relief. XYhere were his keys? He searched his trousers pockets, then his coat laying in the automobile, then frantically both all over again. "I'll have to stay and fix it. You take Peg awhile if she wishes." "Too bad, Jimmy," Peg sweetly remarked as the motor started, "But age before beauty! You remember?" And for Georges benefit and ears alone as she settled back relaxed in the Ford, "I was so afraid I couldn't get those keys." MIRIAM lSl'll'HHOl'll"lCR 0 ,.... Q .

Why cast my lot with human men who think that they are wise, Whose four score years acclaim them seers in warped distorted eyes? My friends the years for eons past have looked on Mother Earth, They know a man and know a fool, and how to judge their worth.

Tho I myself am one of men, itys but as bodies are, 4 My heart a blazing meteor is ranging skies afar, It loathes this wasting blood and rust, this shallow vale of tears, It wantons with its carefree friends the tipsy gypsy years.

The years and I make merry with assorted fools and men, The years have understandings which are far beyond manls ken, They whisper them to me and laugh, I understand them too, We watch the fools and men at play beneath a sky of blue. Oh soon a silver lock or two shall stray among the gold, And dimming eyes and rusting voice shall tell I'm growing oldg They'll bring me these because they must, but let my heart blaze on, And thus unlike my fellowmen I still shall see the dawn. Someday Iyll hear the call of death and I shall cease to beg My soul shall cast the clay aside and enter Mystery. The only sorrow I shall feel, the only cause for tears, Will be the parting with my friends, the tipsy, gypsy years. "For consciousness of duty done and blessedness is pay" They told me that long years ago-it seems 'twas just today. The merry years make priceless friends and let my heart blaze on, And entering past the Mystery I'll see the Golden Dawn.

This time it was orchid and yellow, a spring- like combination very pleasing to see and very much of a credit to the decorating committee. About eight oiclock we assembled in the auditorium where we enjoyed a splendid program arranged for us -a play entitled "Wl1ite Elephantsfl The cast included: Larry, a crook ...............,.... Alfred Hess Flo, his co-worker .... Mary Henderson Albert Fenton .............,...... Scott Geesey Irene, his bride ................, Iane Ohlwiler It was just another story of the trouble that forgetful husbands cause. After the play the orchestra started its usual peppy music and dancing was continued until ten o'clock when the signal for "lunch" rang. Everyone went to the cafe- teria where delightful and unusual refreshments were served. Dancing continued until eleven thirty-then "good-nights" were said, until the next time. The chaperons Were: Mr. and Mrs. Ohlwiler, Mr. and Mrs. Hoen- stine. Third Senior Social This social was held at the Senior High School Saturday evening. April 24. The lightwell was deco- rated with yellow-gold and French- blue colored crepe paper. It was a beautiful combination. The dance was a little late in get- ting started due to the absence of one of the members of the orchestra. About nine o'clock the dancing was started and the seniors enjoyed this until 10.15, when refreshments were served in the cafeteria. It consisted of cakes, ice cream and punch. The dancing was then continued until ll.3O when the guests left for their homes. The chaperons included: Messrs. and Mesdames Raugh, Faust, Hafner, Harris, Reinhart, and Kerlin. Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Thompson were also here as vis- itors. lx, 'fi FOURTH SOCIAL MAY 7. FIFTH SOCIAL MAY 28. BACCALAUREATE JUNE 6. BANQUET JUNE 9. COMMENCEMENT JUNE 10.

'S' LI131-:PCL C' fzsccsezsafsai MUSIC in high schools the study of music in all its branches is slowly but surely becoming equal in rank with other studies. Fine music when really studied is excellent mental training, and develops poise for any walk of life. It is one of the best agencies for the expression of emotion. Moroever it is probably the greatest of all recreations. Music certainly deserves its rank in our curricula. In our High School the study of music is being fittingly advanced and enlarged. For the last seven years under the direction of Pro- fessor Harold Compton, a student of the Cincinnati and New England Conservatories of Music, attention has been paid to all branches of President's To the Members of the Graduating Class I I wish to take this opportunity to extend to each and every member of the class of 1926, my sincere con- gratulations on having graduated from the Altoona High School. It is an accomplishment to be proud of. Also, I want to here express my earnest appreciation of the excellent cooperation between the class and its oflicers, and to pay tribute to the helpfulness and wise counsel of our class advisors. music. These include orchestra, band, chorus, boys' and girls' glee clubs, harmony, and free instruction on any instrument a student may wish to study. The membership of the Senior High School orchestra is now well over one hundred. The membership of the combined orches- tres of the Senior, Lincoln, and junior High Schools is over two hundred. From the Senior orches- tra a small Symphony Orchestra of about forty has been selected with which more exact and careful inter- pretations can be made because of its convenient size. The band with its membership this year of over eighty made a wonderful showing in the Defense Day parade and at football games. Message Rest assured that each one of you carries with you my best wishes for your welfare, not only in the im- mediate futurity but for life, and when you have taken your place in the great outside world, may this serve as a reminder, not only of the happy associations formed in school, but also of the time when you, as a member of the class of 1926, pledged faithful allegiance to the good old "Maroon and White" col- ors of the Altoona High School.

Holmes After being with us only the short span of one school year, Coach Holmes has endeared himself to the student body. He has proved him- self a good sport, a gentleman, and a good coach. It was he who originated the no alibi system. He brought us into the limelight with a strong combination in basketball that teams all over Westerii Penn- sylvania dreaded to meet.

He served as coach of lineman of our football team and coach of appren- tice teams of the Pennsylvania Rail- road. He was also a tower of strength in faculty basketball games. Coach Tice is one of those fellows who immediately becomes popular wherever he goes. Coach Owen C. Lewis We all"know this 'mighty fine young "man who came to us from Indiana State Normal School with a remarkable record and he isn't spoiling it here. During football season he did great work as back- field coach and cheer leader. He certainly is a real pep dispenser and an indispensable asset to our school. Captain Charles Flickinger Ted put up a mighty fine tight in every game despite the fact that he was out of several games due'to injuries. His never-say-die spirit led the team on through thick and thin. Captain George Beech Have you ever seen anyone that could play basketball like George? He has been the star for the last three years and captain for the' last two years. This season he led Maroon and White passers in the most successful season since basket- ball was introduced into our school. In spite of the fact that all our opponents were cautioned to watch him, he led his team members by a good margin. Besides being a crack shot and a nifty passer Pete served as a good general and always used his head. Captain Pete was classed as one of the best all round players in Central Pennsylvania. XVe hope to hear more of him as a star on some college team. 0 0 Q E ln 'u go DUO in-7-tibia-ef?-7, i CJ 1926 P rfih. 122- 2 l 6,1 J,.YX 2' ' 1 flw 24 r-I A 41 CD P4 F11 M U2 '-11 CD Q 41 D o rn m m 0 M ri 4-3 a-4 Nl -rn o 5 -C o U1 of 5 50 N M o 2 P: .2 '54 F: -.-1 a-4 UI tri if o 2 bf if -M .E 1-4 CQ vf E CU 'U 1 bf as G' 1-4 FU as M ll ,:: bD .v-1 I-4 Q 49 4-J V4 CJ .-. 3 O F-l o .-4 'cs ms E 'U O O 3 bi F' E .E .2 G' a-4 N D1 5 Q m 'U a-4 45 1-Ce' CJ ..-.

The Powdertown- ers were bigger boys than Altoona but they couldn't show the speed our fellows did and it wasn't long until it could be plainly seen that they were doomed. Mount Union always has one of the leading teams in the Mountain City League and the fact that the Maroon and Wliite defeated them by such a large score prophesied a good season for us. Our two star forwards, Beech and Hoffman, scored double the amount of points allowed the visitors. lt took Altoona the entire first quarter to get warmed up at the end of which time the score stood at 10-10. Then we got started and after that it was nothing more than a runa- way. Our players not only ran up the score in the last three quarters but they allowed Mount Union only ten points in the three final periods which shows that the guarding was excellent. Altoona Hi Fld.

The game was well attended both by Altoona stu- dents and Clearfield. Altoona took the lead from the first and held it through the game. Clearfield was never near the team in scoring points.

When the game started the Pittsburgh team was the favorite to win the game by a large score. Altoona surely did the trick when they came out the winner by the tune of 53-14. Every one was in a happy mood after this game. Cap- tain Beech just couldn't be held down by any of the opposing guards. He scored enough points to defeat the Smokytown boys himself.

But, when the Maroon and VVhite got organized the score soon began to go up. Beech playing his usual game easily outscored the entire visiting team during the first half. The second period ended 26-5. During the sec- ond half Coach Holmes gave the second string men a chance. State College took advantage of the sub- stitution and played a better game of ball, outscoring Altoona in both of the final periods. Toward the end the spectators became very much excited as the State score kept getting higher and higher. However the final whistle blew be- fore they could overcome the lead piled up during the first half.

Defeats Bellefonte Bellefonte was another easy vic- tory for Altoona. The score was only 41-16 because of Altoona tak- ing it "easy" once in a while to see if Bellefonte would take advantage of it. Bellefonte took the defeat courageously because she knew Al- toona was too fast for her lighting team. Altoona was highly thanked and praised for winning their sev- enth straight game.

Greensburg came here with a splen- did record for the season, only to have it spoiled here. lt was a fine game played by both sides. Beech started the scoring with a Held goal, but only for a second were we in the lead. Greensburg soon found the basket and were dropping them in at their own will. All their shots being from the middle of the floor. Franks held his man down to one shot in the first half. When the half ended Greensburg was in the leadg the score was 14-12. Al- toona found themselves in the sec- ond half and held the opposing team to one field to cinch the game for us. We obtained a lead of eight points and held it the rest of the game. The final score was 28-20 in favor of Altoona. The line up: Altoona Hi Fld. Fl. Fld. Fl.T0t. Beech ..... F 2 1 1 1 8 Hoffman . .F 1 0 3 2 10 Kearney . . . C 0 1 0 0 1 Franks ....

The game started with the regulars scoring almost at their own will. Beech and Hoffman were each doing their own part for their school. Franks the little 'fsorrel top" was on the job holding down the forwards of the opposing team. Hoffman was the big gun in this game scoring almost enough points to defeat Clearfield by himself. The first half ended 19-3 with Altoona on the far end of the score. In the final Altoona went wild in scoring against the opponents, scoring 26 points.

Little sorrel-topped Franks certainly took his place by fighting and coaxing the team to greater efforts. The little cyclone was out the first quarter on account of his arm, but Old High needed his support and in he went. Johnstown took A. H. S. by storm and surprise and rolled in the first few seconds of play, fol- lowed by Ray Hoffmanls making it even. lt lasted only a few seconds, Johnstown forged into the lead, and after that the battle began with the first half ending with Johnstown in the lead 18-16. The second half was faster than the first but because of Hoffman and Kearney's missing shots, Al- toona failed to score.

The game was a humdinger though. Because of Altoona's inability to make the bas- kets, the score was one of the low- est of the season. The ball just wouldnyt roll through the basket when needed most. That didn't dis- courage the Maroon and White team however, because they showed how fast they would work together, and succeeded in the last quarter in winning the game. Everybody in- cluding Windber received their money's worth at this close game. Altoona Fld. Fl. Fld. Fl. Tot. Beech ..... F 1 2 2 O 8 Hoffman . . .F 3 2 0 3 11 Kearney . . .C O O 1 O 2 Franks ....

Altoona took an early lead and at no time during the period of play were they in danger of being overtaken by the visitors. The game was started with Hoffman and Frands on the bench. Things didn't move quite as fast as they should have so they were subbed. Then things began to happen. At the end of the first half Altoona had a good lead. When the subs were given a chance during the second half they went great. All they needed was a start. There was no return game with Ferndale, so we hope they are satisfied with one lesson for the season of 1926. Altoona Hi Fld. Fl. Fld. Fl. Tot. Beech ...... F 5 1 7 O 25 Hoffman . . .F O O 2 0 4 H.

Beech shot a basket just as the final whistle tooted but it was not count- ed. This would have tied the game which ended 34-32 in favor of VVind- ber. The line up: Altoona T011- Beech .....

Altoona Defeats Tyrone On Washington's birthday in one of the hardest fought games of the season Altoona nosed out of the Altoona-Tyrone game with a three point lead. An easy win was predicted for the Maroon and White passers but Ty- rone proved a hard stumbling block. The fans were a howling mass from start to finish and were led in cheering by Paul Tussey, "Pinkey" Abernathy and Clarence Smith. The Tyrone fans were very much in evidence judging by the amount of noise they made but were easily drowned out by the Altoona rooters. "RayU Hoffman led off by mak- ing two baskets for Altoona. The scoring for the entire game was close. The first half ended 11-6, Altoona. Tyrone caught up in the last half and with two minutes to play the score stood 21-16, Tyrone. With all due credit to Hoffman's playing, he seemed to have an off day, and Brinkley was substituted for Ray. The team with their scrappy spirit now rallied and won the game. Everyone of the Maroon and VVhite passers played well. Bus Franks should be given credit for the playing he did. He was all over the floor at once it seemed. Altoona TOL Beech .....

Altoona vs. Indiana Normal Altoona expected to run up against a strong team when the Indiana fel- lows came to town on Friday, March 5. Indiana was strong but Altoona proved to be quite a bit stronger. The visitors lived up to our expec- tations for the first quarter, then our forwards began to get warmed up and the first half ended 23-11 Al- toona's favor. The second half was taken with equal ease, the final score being 49-23. The passing was fast and the guarding close. Beech was continually taking the ball from one of the normal boys and drib- bling in to make a basket without any assistance. Kearney, Hoffman and Franks shared in rolling up the score for Altoona.

Greensburg was too anxious to tear Altoona to pieces which resulted in a foul called for Hoffman who made it, which gave Altoona the lead in the first few seconds 1-O.

Wilkes-Barre No Easy Prey for Altoona There were plenty of thrills given the fans by VVilkes-Barre on Feb- ruary 13 in the Junior Hi gym. The team from the coal' regions showed a lot of new stuff and did some mighty Hne guarding. For a while it looked as if the Maroon and VVhite passers did not have a chance in the world and Wilkes-Barre had visions of being the first team to give Altoona a lick- ing on their own floor. In the first ten minutes Altoona was white- washedg Wilkes-Barre leading 8-0. The visitors took the lirst half 18-6, but in the second half Altoona man- aged to emerge the winner, 19-9. The style of the Wilkes-Bar1'e team was hard to fathom and the Maroon and Wliite quintet was literally "up a tree" until the visitors were solved. Kearney starred for Altoona.

But to the surprise of all, even the State College fans, Altoona lost. Altoona started the scoring by Hoffman putting in a foul. Brink- ley and Franks soon followed up with two points. About this time State College began to score for themselves and were not to be drop- ped for a while. The Hrst half was rough. When it came to a close State College was in the lead by two points, the score being 19-17. In the last half State seemed to run wild, and could not be stopped at all.

It was held under the direction of Dr. Guy S. Tippery, the prizes being furnished by the local merchants. All the squad participated in the program which took place at the Junior High School. There were events for the reserves as well as for the regulars. The potato race was taken part in by nine regulars. Brinkley won this race, Smith second, with Mc- Kague a close third. Hoffman made four out of five baskets to win the foul contest. Beech, Franks, H. Brinkley tied with three out of five. Beech won the shoot off with three fouls. Franks won third place. In the re- serves competition, Richardson got four out of five fouls to Win. Fris- bie and Hess shot a pair of fouls. Frisbie finally won. H. Brinkley received the field goal prize by making two out of three baskets from the twenty foot line. In shooting for third and fourth places, Weller and Means of the Y All Stars took a dozen shots before Weller won. H. Brinkley and Soyster won the pass and shoot contest. The basket ball game was the wind up of the affair. In the first quarter it looked as though the Y Stars would defeat us but before the half was over Altoona had rallied and led with a score of 18 to 15. The second half was a walk away for Altoona. The boys made one basket after another and completely baffled the Y guards with their team work.

One of the fastest games of the season was played on the Roosevelt floor February 20, when the Altoona girl's team succeeded in beating Renovo by the close score of 21-20. The visitors came here with a real team and managed to take the first half 14-10. By consistently good playing and guarding Altoona got 11 points to Renovo's 6 in the sec- ond half.

It was only in the last quarter that the tall lassies from the Normal had a margin and that was a small one. The final score was 25-20, Lock Haven. Altoona Bard McKinney Schwab Henderson Ayers Wilson Slack Fellows Willy Wilsoii-The fact that "Willy,' was the Captain of the girls' basketball team speaks for her ability both as an athlete and as a leader. She was always there with lots of grit and spirit. Bernadine Schwab-Babe was just a new girl out for the team. She stepped right along and suc- ceeded in becoming varsity center. She will be a wizard at handling the ball next year. Aunda Slack-Curly was a faith-- ful and energetic stand-by of the team for three years. She always played a splendid game of basket- ball. Helen McKinney-Mac was our dependable left forward. This was her Hrst year playing girls rules but they proved no hindrance to her shooting ability. Her shots besides being sure ones were beautifully performed. Louise Bard-Weez had no trouble holding a forward position. She made a fine working mate for "Mac" She also was a very good shot. Mary Henderson-Hen had enough Hghting spirit for the whole team. The team depended upon Mary to put a fighting spirit into them-and she could do it with her "Come on girls, let's fight." Anna Fellows--Anna plays guard exceptionally well. She is also a forward and a very capable one. Bee Ayers-Bee surely has earned her "A" as all who have seen her in action can testify. She held down two positions, guard and side center, equally well. Bee's there with the fight-we think she's all right. McKinney was the star forward for the Altoona girls' team this year. She made 84 field goals. Bard was her close pursuer with 52. Nellie McCauley made 6, Anna Fellows 6, Ruth Daly 4, and Kathleen Algoe 3. The total of points for the year was 341 against that of their opponents 198. The following girls played in all of the games of the season: .Captain Eleanor Wilsoii, Helen McKinney, Louise Bard, Mary Henderson, Bea- trice Ayers and Anna Fellows. YVhile Bernadine Schwab played in nine, Aunda Slack eight, Mildred Miller and Kathleen Algoe live and Eleanor Steckman four. 1.293-2U N 1 9 2 6 J -of-mtiiligf S. FOOTBALL TEAM A.

Although we had hard luck, we had a fighting team which did its best at all times. The Alumni Game The hard pre-season practice showed its effect on the squad, the team entering the Alumni game minus the services oi Flickinger, Shaffer, Mong, and Abernathy. Mong had a broken shoulder and was lost for the entire season. thinking their chances slim because of the strong lineup of the Alumni, but the fellows fought their best and proved to the older boys that they fwould have to be better or- ganized to hand the A. H. S. a de- feat. During this game the dust was so thick that it hindered the playing greatly- The Lineups: Alumni-0 A. H. S.-0 Mobus ....... R. E. ......... Getz Slip ......... R. T. .......

Our team was within DuBois' 20 yard line several times during the first half only to be thrown back by some penalty. Both teams fought hard for a lone score during the first half but neither succeeded in registering a point. When the second half started it seemed like a new game, both sides feverishly anxious for a score. The visitors played better the second half than they did the first but the Maroon and White played better still. Altoona was told between halves what their penalties were for and how to remedy them. The team remembered them and their manner of play during the sec- ond half was better. VVithout penal- ties to halt us we couldnlt be de- prived of a score and before the third quarter was over the Maroon and VVhite had crossed DuBois goal making the score 6-O. This served to make the visitors fight harder and the last quarter proved to be more closely contested than any other period of the game. The game ended without any further scoring, final score 6-O.

The game, for Captain Flickinger and Shaffer had recovered from injuries received before that game. Altoo- na's first score came when Holli- daysburg's quarterback fumbled a punt, which rolled over the goal, being tackled by two Altoona men behind the goal. This gave Al- toona a safety, making the score 2-O, our favor. Shortly after the opening of the second quarter, King, Burg end, picked up an Altoona fumble and ran thirty-five yards for a tochdown. The first half ended with the score 6-2 in favor of Hollidaysburg. Most of the third quarter the teams con- tested bitterly, but to no avail. Then Altoona came into possession of the ball close to the sidelines. Pulling the unexpected a cross-buck was run on the weak side of the line, Schugarts running close to the side- line until he reached the goal thirty yards distant, scoring Altoona's first touchdown. The point after the goal was missed making the score 8-6 Altoona. Hollidaysburg fought hard the rest of the game but suc- ceeded only in getting within kick- ing distance failing at the attempted kick. Final score 8-6. A. H. S. H. H. S. McCarthy .... L. E. .......

Altoona kicked off and W'il- liamsport ran the ball to the 50 yard line. Then Altoona held them for two downs but Lady Luck favored VVilliamsport and she ran the ball to the 15 yard line before pulled down. Then the fight began. Al- toona took the ball because VVil- liamsport was held for downs. Shingler, our new quarter, used his head like a veteran and called a punt. Running and punting, for- ward passing and all other tricks known in foot ball were used by both teams, yet no score resulted for either. The third quarter was the same old story, wet ball, fumbling, yards gained and lost yet no touch- downs resulted until the last quar- ter. Shingler caught a forward pass and with the speed of a cyclone passed under the bars and made six points for his dear old Alma Mater. Altoona kicked off and the VVil- liamsport men, fighting like crazy, could not gain a yard through Al- toona,s stone wall. Maroon and White Holds District Champs 21-0. After taking the first quarter to get organized and used to Lock Haven's style of play Altoona settled down and held the district champs to twenty-one points. Throughout the year Lock Haven piled up big scores against strong teams, and holding them to three touchdowns showed that Altoona had a good defense. Many times when their heavy op- ponents were working their way toward Altoona's goal our line stif- fened and held Lock Haven for downs and kicked back out of dan- ger again. Slopey was the mainstay of Lock Haven's offense and had the Altoo- na linemen busy watching him. Captain Flickinger was injured during the last period of play and had to be removed from the game.
