Our environment was one of much variety, consisting mainly of railroad freight yards, synagogues, steel mills, and the majestic Monongahela. Vile endured many hardships in our attempt to absorb knowledge. More than once we were nine-tenths frozen while waiting for a number SO at the P. X L. E. Station on a wintry morningg and upon arriving at school, the remaining tenth went with the other nine, for the portables were as warm as toast in Alaska. If we happened to forget our lunches we dined at Kissel's, getting chicken soup made of boiling water with the fowl ten feet away. Summer rudely jerked us from the sublime to the ridiculous. After being thawed out, we were roasted nice and brown and then turned over and well season- ed with aromatic spirits of burnt horse Hesh, issuing from a soap factory only two blocks away. VV ith all this we were gaining an educatione-or were supposed to be doing so. Some of the marvelous events that occurred during our stay at this famous all-year resort will go down in World History. Among them, we find these: I.-Pittsburgh Railways Company lost 250 straps from their cars. II.-75,9S7.5M transfers were used more than once. III.-The Dinkey was removed because of rough treatment. IV.-We absorbed enough knowledge to become Sophomores. Since the process of alternate refrigeration and roasting had failed to stunt our brain growth the borough council decided to remove us to the half flnished Dormont High School to try further forms of experimentation: and after observ- ing our reactions when we were sitting on loose nails, were crowned with falling boards and plaster, and were standing through lack of seats, they suddenly took pity on us and provided the necessary equipment for an organized school life. Hence we were surviving. hoping, and being provided for in our Sophomore year. Being at this stage done and seasoned to a turn. we employed our perfectly timid bodies and brains with the task of making a reputation for the class. Con- sequently, all school projects were boosted. The result was that room 101 re- ceived as a prize the first work of art to hang over a conspicuous finger print. But such success was merely a stimulant to our aspirations. and soon we had a loving cup under our Caesaristic thumb. Along with reports and failing grades came vacation, and general relief was expressed that a few erasers and bookcase doors had survived our victori.ous spirits. However, we were juniors. and to give tangible form to our elevation. they stored the crowd on the third floor of a school without elevators. But be- 29
