-1'------------------------T H E T o R c H----------------- farewell .-..-ng. Our four years in high school have passed. We are bidding good-by to the place where we have spent many happy hours, the place where we built the foundations for our later life, Dormont,High School. Upon leaving, we wish to thank the teachers who have been so patient with us, those friends who have given their spare moments to help us in our work, who have shared our failures and our victories. We also wish to express our appreciation of the Principals of our school for their contributions to our success. To the greatest and most helpful persons in the world, Our Mothers, we wish to speak some words of appreciation. Since we- were small children in the first grades, you have never lost patience, you have never ceased to encourage, never finished sacrificing for our benefit and enjoyment. It was you, Mother, who showed pride and joy in our successful achievements. Or, in our failures, you were ever faithful, ready with your sympathy and encouragement. As we leave Dear Old Dormont High and' take up our future, we know you will still be near us, urging us on to higher goals. SELMA GRIFFITHS.

The Faculty were surprised to find that a class who played ring around the rosy and consequences at a Weiner roast could wiggle a mean ankle on a dance fioor. Wiggling ankles , after our first attempt, became a Friday afternoon occurrence, opposed by many but boosted by a social committee who determined to pep it up. The junior division not only gave dandy Hallowe'en parties, dances, and weiner roasts, but often burnt the midnight oil absorbing Chemistry, a course whose educated name and red-haired instructor attracted scores to a year of toil, worry, explosions, acid-perforated garments, burnt skin, and queer grades. After winning a banner for talking the most Dormont people out of two dol- lars, and hanging over athletic field ropes to boost our class celebrities, we decided that the teachers and school owed the group a vacation, so we picked up our hats and left the building for july and August Cwhen Mr. Radcliffe gave us noticej. Seniors l Seniors ! Seniors l Absolutely! The Faculty finally managed to get us there without leaving any loose ends in the Junior year to further disturb the school. The class was do- nated to Miss Meyers and Mr. Herrington, who resignedly accepted the lot, but as Miss Meyers used too many school pencils tapping on her desk for the students' amusement she was deprived of her interesting charges, who were then turned over to Mrs. Karcher. just to show our helpful nature, we proceeded to elect the two report teachers as guardians, knowing full well that adjoining location and mutual sympathy would design a perfect advisory team. Our selections proved, however, too ambitious. prodding us into action on the most frivolous matters, such as Lecture Courses, and really not appreciating the liberality with which we permitted the underclass- men to win the prizes, Nevertheless, after a few weeks of training, the coun- selors did not disturb us needlessly, allowing us to study as befitted Seniors-until class picture time. It is to be noted that several beauty parlor madames purchased new limou- sines the week after O. C. Henry snapped the crow. The dancing waves had hardly vanished from the Senior damsels' heads when class play tryouts began. At this juncture, friends became enemies, and every- body beamed on Miss Blank, hoping to be noticed. Finally the decisions were made without the aid of the liberally scattered advice of the studentsg and the play production, final victory in debate, starting of baseball season, and commence- ment night welded the class together again, each one rooting for the graduating class of June, 1925, as the best ever, having both Quantity and Quality.
