And why did your parents call you that?" Could all of you answer these questions? No, for some answers are "for no rhyme or reason at all." So may it be with the streets in Elkland. Elkland was named for the elk in this part of the country. At one time Elkland needed street.: so badly that one was constructed that ran east and west through the town. Being the first street and also the main one, this street was call- ed Main street. As the town began to grow and progress more it needed more streets just as today it needs more houses. Then First Street was laid out and named because it was the first street that was laid parallel to Main Street. Second street came next and was so named because it was the sec- ond street laid parallel to Main Street. Now come Parkhurst, Pattison Extension, Buf- falo and River Streets. The Parkhurst Block used to be the Parkhurst farm when the street was constructed naturally it would be named af- ter the Parhursts. Then came Pattison Exten- sion which got its name from the Pattison's who lived in the house where Mr. Frank Simpson lives now. Buffalo Street seemed to be the hard- est street to find any history at all. This must have been named for "no rhyme or reason at all." Just the same, I will tell you all the storie. that I heard about this street. First was the story that buffaloes used to roam from one hill to the other, making a lane, which is now known as Buffalo street. Second was the story that the lane leading to the Buffalo and Su. quehanna Railroad, was named after the station. The third and most logical story that a farm- er's boy used to drive cattle to pasture down this lane. He called his cattle buffaloes and the lane was known as Buffalo Lane. Later when the street was constructed, it still kept the name, Buffalo. River .street was next and was named because it followed the river. Now let's go down to the other end of town and find out the history of those streets. Lets take Taft Avenue first. This was laid out when Presi- dent Taft was in oiiice and was named after him. Proctor Avenue was named after one of the two tannery owners at that time, Proctor and Ellison. ' ,' Coates Street was so named because the street went across so much of Coates' land. And now as citizens of the Boro of Elkland, why don't we have an organization or some kind of a commit- tee to name the new streets in, Elkland? At least let's hope our streets will soon have prom- inent signs to show what their names are.-O. M. IMPROVEMENTS OF ELK LAND If a person who Had not been in Elkland for the last year or two should return all about him he could see signs of growth and expansion. The town is beginning to perk up! An air of pros- perity lingers everywhere. Never before has Elkland experienced such a boom in building. Many new and attractive buildings have been built to accomodate the store., garages, and res- taurants which have recently been established here. Nearly every street in town has been im- proved by the addition of a new store. Main street takes her claim of improvement from the new garage, restaurants, and houses which have been added to it. In the lower part of town im- provements have also been made. The new houses which have been built recently are greatly needed. The construction work done at the tannery brought families here that decided to stay. Things are filled to over-flowing. Every available house and room in town has been taken, Tl-IE LOUD SPEAKER at least for the time being. Such things are a help to business and improvement. This newly acquired attractiveness and air of prosperity has acted as an incentive for pros- pective home buyers. As long as Elkland is pros- pering and growing in population and beauty why not buy a home here as well as any place. Buy- ing dilapidated houses in an equally run down town is not the usual idea of the general run of people. In:tead pretty little homes which lend an air of prosperity tend to make people want to buy. Now that new homes have been built, the streets need some attention. The owners of new houses where there are no sidewalks can have them put in for nothing, all they have to furnish is the material. The work is done by the town's relief workers. In other parts of town damage was done to the sidewalks by this summer's Hood wherever the walks cracked and crumbled they were replaced by new ones. The town is certainly growing. Business is on an upward climb, and everyone seems to be up and doing. Let's hope it keeps up. We are pleased to be able to have the pictures in this volume reproduced from copper cuts made from photographs taken by Ralph B. Dykins and hand-etched by the John and Allier Co., who fur- nished pictures for the Army and Navy year-book as well as colleges and other high schools. HIGH SCHOOL STATISTICS Because every day of the school year teachers are bombarded with questions such as "How many Seniors have you this year?" or "Do you have a large class this year," we have compiled the following facts for your information. The entire enrollment of the Elkland Schools is 592. Out of this number 157 165 boys and 92 girlsl are High School students. These students of High School come from Elkland and eight near-by communities. Osceola sends 31 tuition students, Elkland township, 115 Nelson township, 10, Farmington township, 103 Lawrence township 2, Woodhull Dist., No. 12, 1: and Tuscarora No. 10, 2. There is also one individual tuition stu- dent. Our teaching force consists of 21 teachers, in- cluding the supervising principal. Of this num- ber 14 teachers are grade teachers and 5 are high school teachers. In the High School, the Sophomore Class holds the record for the largest number of members.

I was so glad last week to hear of your appointment to the President's Cabinet that I could have shouted for joy. You can't imagine how proud it makes me to say, 't0h, you mean Secretary Wynkoop? Yes, she and I were class- mates together." ---I THE LOUD SPEAKER Do you ever see Orma down there at Washing- ton? I imagine you'll see a lot of her this win- ter. Being a Senatoi-'s wife, she will probably do a lot of entertaining in the social circle. If you do see her, ask if she doesn't know an eligible bachelor down there who would be interested in a school ma'm such as I. More seriously though, Ruth, how our class has scattered in these last ten years! There are only a few of us left here in Elkland' 4Marion Wheel- er, Ida Vincent, Dorothy Burr, Myrtle Carr, Ruth Button and Marjorie Blackwellfsall of whom are married. All the rest of the girls have taken careers of some kind. The medical work has held the greatest attrac- tion it seems for our classmates, Jennie Milin- ski, Ethel Martin, Blanche VanDusen, Gertrude Croft and Vera Bartlett are graduate nurses. Most famous of our medical class-mates however, are Dr. Robert Lounsbury and Dr. Janet Wallis who are spending much time in research work on incurable diseases. I hear they have made some remarkable discoveries. Our Nelson classmates haven't done so badly either, Ruth. Do you remember that Morgan Colegrove uged to say that his sole ambition was to be a chauffeur to a rich man's daughter? Well, his grasp exceeded his aim. He married the daughter! Then there is Marion Finch 'hc i. chief drummer in the United States Marine Band. He is certainly talented. Isaw him at Coudersport last month at a band concert. Anna- belle Stewart with her violin, as you know, is the featured star on Cass' Seedles Watermelon Pro- gram. iEmery has a large melon plantation down southl. Christine Colegrove is private sec- retary to Llewlyn Wakely who is president ot some large concern in Helena. Montana. I have- n't heard from Eleanor Carpenter recently, but some time ago I heard that shc was traveling in Europe as a companion to an elderly lady. Fin- ally as of course you know, Ralph Mattison has become a famous professional baseball player. Say, I wish you could have gone to Fhautauqua with me this summer. Mary Prindle wa there and gave some most delightful dramatic per- formances. She is really very clever. She's the same old Mary, though. She doesn't seem one bit older than she did back in High School. Will you be able to go to the Thanksgiving football game at Yale this year? I'm anxious that you will because you know Jack is the coach of the team there, and they say he has worked marvels with them. Please try to arrange it, and let me know soon. Oh. yes, there is another rea- son why we should go, Edie Childs fRuth to usl is the chief entertainer at the Thanksgiving prom after the game. Did you see her in "The Silver Lining?" She was perfect in the role. I was so plea. ed when I heard about Velma O'Dell being an interior decorator. She was so tasty in all her work at school that I know she must be an expert in decorating. Elkland High has retained three of its students a teachers Janet Avery, Domestic Science: Nor- ma Van Zile, English, and myxelf, French and Latin. The high school a bit different from our high school which we attended. We have live times as many students as then, three times as many teachers, and seven new departments. What do you think of that, Madam Secretary, for progress? The West has claimed two of our class-mates. Roger King and Charles Snyder. They are em- ployed in forestry at Yellowstone National Park. I was out there last summer and had a long talk with both of them. They seem to enjoy their work very much. Only one of our boys has taken to agriculture. James Rice is now a prosperous farmer using thc most modern machinery and methods and special- izi.ig in dairy farming. When I review all these classmates and the names they have made for themselves I am cer- tainly not ashamed to say that I belonged to the l'lass of '36 of Elkland High, are you? Well. I really must close now, for I have two h"ndred test papers to mark before tomorrow. Such i the life of a poor school teacher. With love, Helen THE LOUD SPEAKER "THERE'S NO ART T0 FIND THE MIND'S CONSTRUCTION IN THE FACE" When Einstein walks down the streets of Princeton, New Jersey wearing knickers, with no hat and licking an ice cream cone, no one sus- pects him of being a famous mathematician. Sim- ply because, 'fthere's no art to find the mind's construction in the face." One can never be sure of his impressions. He may be impressed by the intelliegnt looks of a person only to find later that that person is below the average in intelli- gence. Then again, the intelligent looking per'- son may be an intelligent fellow. No one can walk through a school room and pick out the pupils above and the pupils below a certain avei- age just by looking at their faces. Julius Caesar thought that Brutus was his friend, yet Brutus helped kill him. Caesar could not tell from Brutus' face that he was an enemy or he would not have been so friendly with him. In the early history of the United States, Wash- ington considered Benedict Arnold a friend yet Arnold betrayed Washington. Washington cer- tainly had, "no art to find the mind's construc- tion in the face," of Arnold. In modern times. Huey Long's assassination is an example of this inability to tell what is passing through the mind of a fellow man. Long had an unnatural fear of being shot, yet he did not know Weiss was going to shoot him. Long also had S9V9l'ill bodyguardsvnone of whom knew Weiss contem- plated shooting Long. Yet they were emplovefl for the express purpose of protecting Long from a"sassination.-M. C. "ANGELS ARE BRIGHT STILL, THOUGH THE BRIGHEST FELL" There are times in everyones life when things go wrong, when your friends desert you, when your business fails, or even when you are ill and cannot even hope to get well. There are times when life seems hardly worth living, all because the one thing, in which you have put all your trust, all your faith, and perhaps all your for- tune. At such times as these man will think, "Well, what is the use? I have put my whole life into this project, I have nothing left to live for." The weaker mind will lose hope, his "Bright Angel" has fallen, it has failed. He will dwell upon this fact so much that he will become insane and end his life. He has only one "Bright Angel." He cannot look ahead and see that there are many opportunities for him if he will only seek them. Then again, one might compare a "Bright An- gel" to health. Many people have had to give up the life's work on account of poor health. They do not need to become despondent, because they are forced to cease following their "Bright An- gel." It has fallen down behind the hill of poor health. Still there are many other opportunities, many more angels living in the heaven of chance. Many men and women with poor health hav: followed another star, which by constant use as u guide, may become as bright or brighter than the old. There was once, in Scotland, a king who had been driven from his throne by a tyrant king. To all appearances the "Bright Angel" had fall- en from his heaven. He did not run away from Scotland and say, "There are no more "Bright Angels" in my sky, my army has deserted me, l have no way of regaining my throne, I have tried and tried again, but I have always failed." in- stead, this king transferred his interests to a new angel, his old, faithful, pea. ant subjects, and in the end by perseverance he succeeded in regain- ing his throne. Likewise we must let our hopes desert us when doing school work. If a boy cannot master his lessons in one subject, let him tran.fer his in- terests to a new angel, and, in the end, even if he didn't like to become a dentist, and did like to be a doctor, why not try something that he can really do. Perhaps he may become a great ma- thematician. In spite of the fact that our "Bright Angel" has fallen, there are other an- gels, who would become as bright, if we gave them our attention.-R. W. I .J L- THE LOUD SPEAKER TI-IE Ll-IGI-IND OF A LAKE IN POTTER COUNTY In the northern part of Potter County there is a beautiful lake with an Indian legend. This leg- gend was handed down from thc Indians. The lake, which is now called Rose Lake is a pretty place to visit when the green leaves of the yellow water lilies sleep over the calm surface. There are other beautiful plants growing around the lake. It was long before the arrival of the white man, when the red man lived his free life roam- ing through the deep woods. Here lived a tall strange Indian called White Pine, a lover of birds and flowers, and unlike most of his Indian tribes preferring a quiet life rather than the warring life of the braves. In due time he had his own family, but while he wa' away at war his squaw died. Never again would White Pine engage in wars on other tribes. Ile took his children to another home, a beauti- ful spot where deep woods of primitive pines and hemlocks covered the hills and dancing brooks leaped and sparkled and sunbeams darted through the boughs. Here grew up White Pixies daugh- ter. called White Lily. While the pines sang sadly to the lone father, to the daughter they were songs of joy and gladness. Many braves sought the hand of this beautiful maiden, but for a long time she would not listen. She was content in the home of her father. At last, she was won by a handsome brave. They settled some distance away but would journey back each year to see White Pine. To the happy pair one child was horn, a little daughter. who wa 4 named Arbutus, after the sweetest flower of Spring. One winter a hunting party stopped at the peaceful home and one young brave fell in love with White Lily. asking her to leave her husband to go with him to be his squaw. All his atten- tions were received with scorn and she ordered him to leave the lodge aml not enter again. The Indian departed, vowing, he would yet make her his squaw. A year later he returned with other braves and breaking into the lodge killed the husband and child and bound poor White Lily. After taking what they could they burned the lodge ami started away with their victim. When they stopped to eat she was un- bound and watched. Then the hunter told her she was to be his squaw, as he had said, remind- ing her that Indians never lied. But watching her chance, White Lily made a break for freedom from thc hated band. Tbc camping place was near the lovely little lake sure rounded by the forest. As she came to its clear water, she saw her captors close behind and kneii there was no escape. She broke into the death song of her tribe and plunged into the icy water. swimming bravely. As she neared the center of the lake she raised her arms with a cry to thc Great Spirit and sank from sight. The band of Indians. dumbfounded decided sho had done this to deceive them and had dived un- der some log or rock but search failed to find her. A fearful, storm arose unrooting the great hemlocks under which the party sought refuge and all but one man was killed. The one man left of the party sought help to recover the body of White I.ily, but she was never found. The next spring where the faithful Indian wife had sunk there appeared a beautiful clump of lil- ies, larger and fairer than any others. These were of a pearly whitness, the others yellow. No Indians would ever pick or harm these flowers for they believed they were the spirit of the lost White Lily and from that time they called the lake by her name. B. V. D. THE LOUD SPEAKER Organizations of E. H. S. THE TRI-HI-Y The most recent club in the high school is the Tri-Hi-Y which was organized last November by J. H. Ehlers, District Secretary of the State Y. M. C. A., of Ha1'risburg. Perhaps many ol' you wonder what the Tri-Hi-Y means. The "Tri" stands for the trios of important factors around which the club is built. Then Hi-Y merely stands for Y. M. C. A., in the high schools. Although this project is a new one in our school, we have promises of a wide-awake club. The officers for the school year of 1935-1936 are as follows: President-Helen Van Dusen Vice-President-Ruth Wynkoop Secretary4Mary Bailey Treasurer-Chirstine Colegrove Pianist-Bessie Horn Counsellor-Miss Eleanor P. Donovan THE DRAM ATIC CLUB The Dramatic Club was organized last year and proved so successful that it has been continued again this year. There are 35 members in this organization and Mivs Donovan serves as sponsor. The purpose of the club is to create an interest for better dramatics, give students a chance for self-expression and provide for social life among the students. Two plays have been successfully given already this year,-"Not on the Program- me" and "Christmas at Casey's.' The club officials are: President-Norma VanZile Vice-President-Kathryn Lyon Secretary-Mary Prindle TreasurerADoris Lyon LATIN CLUB The Latin Club, or the S. P. Q. R., is also now in its second successful year. This year there are 33 members all of whom are students of first second or third year Latin. Under Miss McCabe's leadership this club meets once a month usually on Tuesday evenings. One meeting which has stood out as a red-let- ter meeting this year was the Saturnolia or Christmas festival which was held in December. The program was planned and carried by Ruth Wynkoop. Everyone reported that he had an ex- cellent time. The officials of this club are: Pontifex Maximus4Douglas Skinner Consuls-Martha Knapp, Arthur McConnell PraetorAMarjorie Gross Censor-Hugh Niles Quaestor-Tressa Cevette Tribune-Jane Pattison Aeclilwltuth Wynkoop THE FRENCH CLUB The F1'ench Club, or Le Circle Francais boasts a membership of 40 students of French. This club also meets once a month usually on Tues- day evenings under the leadership of Miss Mc- Cabe. The purpose of this organization is to ac- quaint French students with French customs and songs and to enlarge each one's vocabulary by French games and conversation groups. Anyone who is taking French or has taken French ls eligible to join. The officers are: Le Preside-nt!Helen Van Dusen Couseil d'Administration: Irene Wynkoop, Harold Spencer, Jean Little. THE ENGLISH DEPARTMENT It is necessary not only to speak correctly and effectively today, but also to write clearly and concisely. As such training can be secured by Writing for publication, this year under the aus- -Ani ll-lE LOUD SPEAKER pices of the senior class a new project of publish- ing school news each week in the Elkland Journal has been flourishing. Clear enunciation and correct pronunciation are stressed in oral English each week and in training for a public speech of some length by each pupil in high school. A large number who are interested in dramatic work are given a chance in the Dramatic Club. No one is elected or selected, but those who desire to join may do so. 1 1 f THE LOUD SPEAKER X ! fix Niolins Jane Pattison Judy Watson Annabelle Stewart Marguerite Smith Jeanette Norton Nora Graham Larie Goodrich Marion Van Dusen John Hammond Members of the Crchestra Hornets Jack Behrnian John Vampbell Ernest De Sara Ralph Matti. on Malcolm Stull Lyle Baker Alto Horn Louis Barbano Trombone Hugh Niles Percussion Kathryn Lyon Marion Finch Piano Vlarinets Charles Fisk Paul Volante F.

Two years later his parents and he moved from Leetonia to Elkland where Mr. Barocco began his work at the age of seven in the public schools. He was graduated from Elkland High School in the spring of 1926. In the fall of the same year he entered the Mans. field Sate Teachers' College. He was graduated from that college in 1930 with a degree or Bachelor of Science. . Since 1930 he has been a teacher of science in the Elkland High School. He had attended summer school at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina where he has been doing grad- uate work in science and education since 1932. From his work which he completed he received a degree of Master of Arts in the summer of 1935. Mr. Barocco has many hobbies. He likes to liike, hunt, fish, listen to good music, and read literature on scientific subjects and desires to do further work in higher education. In regard to education he has chosen the quo- tation from Horace Mann:- "The Common School is the greatest discovery ever made, and the author who stated that edd- cation is a treasure and culture never dies." Mr. RALPH W. DEMPSEY Among the well known residents of Elklanzl is Mr. Ralph W. Dempsey, born in Elklanfl, De- cember 19, 1894. He is the son of Micheal J. and Fannie I.. Dempsey, After graduating from Os- wego in 1910 he obtained a position at Cowan- esque, then later moved to Elkland in 1914 re- siding there until May ll, 1917, then he en'isted at Fort Slocum, New York. He served at Wash- ington, D. C. until August 6, 1917 when em- barked overseas to serve with American Expe- ditionary Forces, until August 21, 1919, and was discharged at Camp Meade, Md. September 26, 1919. In 1922 he mar1'ied Lena VanZile of Elkland and resided on Buffalo Street until 1933. In early part of 1934 Mr. Dempsey bought as lot on Main Street next to Joseph B. Redfield. and here he built a very attractive new home. Without any doubt his hobby is hunting, be- cause all his spare time is spent in the woods. Nevertheless, a few years ago he was very fond of baseball. Mr. Dempsey is employed as a foreman by The Elkland Leather Company. He is also a member of the American Legion, Osceola Lodge No. 421 F. 8z A. M. and Coudersport Consistory. When asked his opinion of education Mr. Dempsey stated that t'Everyone should obtain all the education that they can possibly get. It is one thing no one can ever take away from you." GEURGE B. DURRANCE A member of one of Elkland's oldest families, George Dorrance, was born March 17, 1895, the f'n'y son of G. G. and Carrie Buckley Dorrance. The first of his ancestors, on his father's side to come to this country was Rev. Samuel Dir- ranee, who came from Ireland in 1773 and set- tled at Bcultown, Connecticut. His son, Colonel George Dorrance, took part in the battle of Wy oming, July 3, 1778. He was wiundezl and taker, prisoner by the Indians and slain the following day. Colonel Dorrance's son, and father to the present George Dorrance, came to Elkland in 1829 and settled on the present site of the Dor- ll-lE LOUD SPEAKER lance family home on East Main Street. Benja- min Dorranee, an uncle, filled out the unexpired term of Hon. Hugh Young, in the Senate at Harrisburg and was reelectcd for a two year term. On his m0ther's side, the t'amily tree can be traced back to Israel Buckley uho came to Concord, Massachusetts from England in 11534. In 1800, Israel Buckley, great, great, grand- father to Mr. Ilorrance, came from Concord and located at Osceola, then Delmar township. Ile was a blacksmith, grist mill owner, and surveyor and agent for the Strowbridge Estate. Ile brought apple seeds from Connecticut in a saekq these seeds were planted and produced the first apple orchard in Tioga County. Mr. Ilorrance has in his possession. a copy of the Boston Gazette edited in 1770, which gives an account of the Hoston massacre and the boy- cott on all English made goods. Ile also has an Ulster Co. Gazette, published at Kingston, N. Y. in 1800, in this paper is an account of Presi- dent Adam's address to the Senate, llec. 10, 1775! and also a complete account of the burial ser- vices of our first President, George Washington. I thought the account of the burial services very interesting, as it gave the exact positions in the line of march and at the grave. Mr. llorrance received his grammar and high school education in the Elkland public schools. He was married to Cora Berg' on Oct. 20, 15119, and thev have three children, Frederick, John, and Mary. Mr. I1orrance's favorite sport is hunting. He very modestly admits that he usually brings heme a deer. He is very much interested in game protection and thinks that there would be fewer accidents if people were more careful and paid more attention to the laws concerning this. He says that fishing is a grand sport, but that it tries his patience too much at times! when the fish refuse to bite. At present, to use his own words, he is 'town cop'. Ile has served his town and county in many capacities, ten years as high constable, six years as deputy sheriff, and six years as fire warden- -the last position he still holds. When asked regarding his opinion of a high school education, he replied, "I think that a high school education is more essential today than ever before. I think that most of the crimes, committed in later life, have their be- ginning in truancy from school". C. A. FINCH Perhaps one of the oldest and best-known residents of Nelson is Charles Augustus Finch. He was born in lleerfield Township, which is now Osceola, on March 10, 1858. Ile was the son ot' Silas and Betsy Finch. In his youth he lived on the farm outside ol' Osceola with his part nts and attended school in Osceola. After he had finished his education, he spent a num- ber ol' years in lumbering, railroading, and fai ming. On September 23, 1885 he was united in mar- riage to Sue Warren of Nelson, and they lived on a farm outside of Nelson on Thorn- bottom Creek for about four years, but in 1889 they moved into Nelson. In 15102 he began carry- ing mail on Route no. LZ. Later he was trans- ferred to Route no. 1. and was the only carrier out of Nelson. He was one of the very first Rural Route carriers of this part of the country. He entered the merchantile business in 1905 and kept a store for about five years. In 1927 he was retired from the mail service, a pen- sioned mail carrier. Mr. Finch is well-acquainted with the early history of the Finch family, His grandfather was born in Otsego County in New York State and migrated to this valley and settled in the vicinity of Osceola. He was one of the first set- tlers on the Cowanesque River. In 1820 Silas was born and he spent his life on the farm of his father. Mi'. Finch had eight brothers and sisters. but only one sister, Mrs. .lane Hotchkiss THE LOUD SPEAKER of Tioga, Pa. is living now. Most of his brothers have settled in this valley and vicinity. He has occupied a number of important posi- tions in Nelson. He was President, Secretary and Treasurer of Nelson School Board each for one term. He was also Town Clerk for about ten years, For many years he played on the Nelson baseball team and in the Nelson Band. At present he is a member of the Odd Fellows lodge, the Grange and the Mail Carriers Asso- ciation. He is very acive in the Mail Carriers Association, and he attends their monthly meet- ings regularly. His family consists of two daughters and two sans, Mrs. Mabel Harris of Bath, N. Y., Mrs. Edith Manley of Tompkins, Pa., Warren and Victor Finch of Nelson. His hobby is taking care of his bees. He attends to a large number of hives and they manage to keep him busy. When asked about his opinion of education Mr. Finch said, "I have always advocated and have always helped to bring about education for the young men and young women. I think that education is the finest thing in the world and as a whole this nation cannot progress unless the people in it are well educated and better trained". WARLEY G LEA SON Warley Gleason, a life long citizen of Osceola, was born December 27, 1885, the son of James and Jennie Perkins Gleason. Mr. Gleason attended the public school at Osceola, then he attended Elkland High School. As a young man he worked at the Mechanic trade four years in the West. La'er he became interested in chicken raising. Fourteen years ago he started in the chicken business. which has been a very profitable business. The farm on which he now lives has been in the family over one hundred years. He can remember when the tannery was at Osceola, sash and blind factory, four blacksmith shops, and eight blacksmiths. Osceola was at that time larger than Elkland. Six years ago, Mr. Gleason was elected school director at Osceola. He always used his best judgment for the welfare of the school and the children. Mr. Gleason's opinion of an education is: "I think every boy and girl should have the first eight years in school, and the more one can get the better. There cannot be too much educa- tionfl NED HAYNES Mr. Haynes was born at Nelson, Pennsylvania May 28, 1907. Mr. Haynes started school at the age of seven in the Nelson public school. He was graduated from Nelson in 1925, and finished his last year of high school at Elkland in the following year 1926. In the fall of the same year, he entered the Mansfield State Teachers College. He was graduated from that college in 1930. Beginning in 1930 he taught at Charleston High School two years. He taught mathematics and social studies. He also coached athletics, base ball and soccer-ball, He joined the Elklanil High School faculty in October, to teach history and social studies. He likes all kinds of sports. His favorite hob- by is fishing and hunting. When asked his opinion of education he re- plied, "I think everyone should have an educa- tion, so that they may enjoy the better things in life. The Business world demands educated men and women for work, some stores demand college graduates. Competition is keen in the business world. The person with an education will have the best chance."

This also burned, be- cause the town being temperate, the people did not care for licenses. They could not keep a hotel without. A drug store, a hardware, and a dry goods store were in the Big Block. The se- cond and third stories were occupied by ten- ants and the fourth story was the Masonic Hall. Above that was a cupola, which has been re- moved. Nearly all side walls were built of wood. She remembers when both railroads first came through. The Central was then the Fall Brook and the B Kr O was a narrow gauge called the Addison and Northern Pennsylvania. The first train which left Osceola on the Fall Brook was an excursion to Watkins where Barnum had a circus. Mrs. McDonough went and attended the circus for the first time in her life. When she was eight years old her mother died. At the age of ten she began keeping house for her father. Svmetimes she boarded somewhere else, but at the age of fourteen she kept house and went to school. She was educated in Osceola School, which at that time had twelve grades. She received a certificate from the County Superintendent al- lowing her to teach and secured a place to teach for three months at thirteen dollars a month and boarded around. Mrs. McDonough taught in five different district schools and taught two terms in New York State, then six years in Osceola-partly in the primary, and the rest in the intermediate department. After leaving school she clerked one year in the store of Mr. Baker. In the fall of 1902, she was married, and went to Costclla, Pennsylvania, where she and her husband lived two years. Born to them was one boy, Lawrence.'They moved back to Osceola and stayed until 1906, then moved to New Jersey. Her husband died in 1927. She then came back to Osceola in 1928. Mrs. McDonough has traveled quite a lot. She went to Washington in 1896, and has just re- cently returned from another trip to Washing- ton. She has been in New York City many times. About three years ago last spring she went to Texas, and two years ago attended the World's Fair at Chicago. When asked her opinion of education she re- plied, "I think that education should teach a person how to earn a living, and give one a bet- ter taste for books and music. It should fit you for the better things in life. HELEN R. PATTISON Helen R. Pattison was born in Farmington on March 3, 1891. She is the daughter of Joseph B. and Emma Bosard Redfield.

W.XL'l'ER E. RUVH Rev. Walter E. Rueh, one of Osceola's most- beloved and out-standing citizens, was born in twenty-ninth, Northumberland, Pa. September eighteen hundred and seventy-one. He spent his early life in that vicinity, attending the gram- mar school there and. as a young man, working in the Puddling Mills of Northumberland. Rev. Ruch humorously referred to this experience as his Hschool of hard knocks". Later he attended the Academy of Bucknell from which he was graduated in 1397 and the University of Buck- nell from which he was graduated in 1901 with an A. B. degree. In that same year he was ordained into the ministry at Northumberland. His first pastorate was at Ridgway, Pa. From that time on he has served in many pastorates some of which are: Apollo, Sharpsville. Heilwood, Elwood Citv and Osceola all in Pennsylvania, also a short time in toth Virginia and Ohio. The Cowanesque Lodge No. 351 I". and A. lll. at Knoxville, Pa. and the Consistory at Couders- port claim him as a member. lle is also very active in the Presbytery at Northumberland. He is a member of the council of that body and of the Committee of Bills and Overtures. Each year the Presbytery elects two ministers and two elders to act as commissi"ners to the Gen- eral Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, the highest governmental body of the Church. Rev. Ruch had the honor of being elected ene of these commissioners, and last May he spent two busy weeks in Cincinnati where the Assembly was held. To be personally acquainted with Mr. Ruch is indeed a pleasure. He is now serving his ninth year in our vicinity having come here on Julie 1. 1927. During that time he has served faithfully and efficiently his three-fold pastorate of Knoxville, Osceola and Farmington where hc has won the love and respect of many. He is modest. unassuming and commands respect. His daily proceedings set an example to all for a beautiful Christian life. He is vitally interested in anything that pertains to the good of the conimunity, school or church. He goes about doing good and aiding the less fortunate such a.- was shown by his activity in the flood relief of last summer. The young people especially fiml a friend and an advisor in Mr. Ruch. A father of five children himself, he knows and understands them and is always a ready and willing guido for them. Two of Mr. Rueh's sons, Judson and Watson Ruch, are former graduates of our own high school. Judson has been graduated from Buck- nell University, ami Watson is a student at the same institution at the present time. Both boys have made outstanding progress there, and are indeed a pride of their father. Mr. Ruch's chief hobby is gardening. Well- kept flower and vegetable gardens with delicious celery and gladiolus as specialties are eloquent testimonies of a fruitful hobby. It is a familia- sight in Osceola to see him in a straw hat busi- ly hoeing or weeding in his garden. He says that he has another hobby which he would like to develop--sthat of chicken raising. As yet he has never had sufficient space to undertake this, but he is still hopeful. When asked his opinion on education Mr, Ruch gave the fol'owing statement on education as to its relationship with peace:-- "Not many years ago cducation was very largely summed up in facts. but to-day it deals with attitudes. It is the guide of the heart as well as the achievements of the mind. Education must devclop the proper procedure in the heart of the student as well as to fortify his mind, If the world problems of peace and war are ever solved. it will he brought about through a fuller knowledge of the social order. MRS. SARAH SEELY Mrs. Sarah Seely is the mother of Mrs. Harry Willliams of this place. She was born and hiw lived in this part of Pennsylvania most Of her life. THE LOUD SPEAKER After being graduated from Mansfield College she taught school here, in the years 1882-1883. Then the high school consisted of only two rooms and two teachers-one room upstairs, and the other down. She taught upstairs and Mr. E. H. Wakely now a doctor in Big Flats, N. Y. taught down stairs. Mrs. Seely, then Miss Bax- ter, and Mr. Wakely each had seventy pupils in their rooms. Some of the pupils Mrs. Seely can remember having are Mrs. Bedell, Miss Leah Graves, and Mrs. Fred Smith. Some of the school directors then were Mr. Henry Miner, who lived where Doctor Larson now lives, Colonel R. T. Wood, great grandfather of Clark Wood now our high school principal, and Professor Ward, a previous teacher. Some years later in the years 1894-1897 Mrs. Seely taught here again with Miss Gertrude Warren, Miss Abbie Weeks and Mr. M. E. Cass principal. During Mrs. Seely's years of teaching in Elk- land, her home was in Farmington. Her fathci brought her to Elkland every Sunday evening. She boarded where Miss Eleanor Donavan now lives. Then on Friday evening she returned to her home for the week end. Other places Mrs. Seely taught were Nelson, Osceola and Westfield. Later she married Mr. James Seely and resid- ed in Austinburg and Knoxville. After the death of Mr. Seely she moved to Elkland with her daughter and her husband, Doctor Harry Wil- liams. SAMUEL SEELY Samuel Seely, a very well-known resident of Osceola, was born on a' farm near Osceola, Pennsylvania, in 1884. He was the son of Mary and Judd Seely. He has one brother Lee Seely. Mr. Seely obtained his elementary and high school education at Osceola. At that time there were twelve grades where there are only eight now. We can see Mr. Seely is a farmer, because all his life was spent on his farm until four years ago, when he moved into Osceola. In 1903, he was married to Bessie Tubbs of Nelson. To them were born four children, Dora Church, a teacher in the Osceola Graded School, Rex Seely who married and remained on the farm after his parents moved, Beryl Bishop of Westfield, and Allan, who is attending school at Elkland. In 1929, Mr. Seely was elected assessor and has been holding the position ever since. He has also been an active member of the School Board for over twelve years. When he was asked his opinion of education. he replied, "Don't stop at what you know, keep right on learning." GUSTIN K. SMITH Gustin Kenneth Smith was born in Elkland, on August 27, 1900 as the fourth son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Smith. As a boy he commenced his schnolhood days in the brick school house on Parkhurst Street. He attended this school for the next twelve years when he was graduated with the class of 1918 with outstanding honors. In Mr. Smith's schooldays we find he attended a short term at the University of Buffalo, and why he didnlt finish he does not know. On September 1, 1924 he was united in mar- riagp to Mae Austin of Campbell. They are now the parents of a daughter, Alyce Mac. All residents of this vicinity know that Gus is a great business man, and to show his work which he accomplished well we find the following positions which hc has held since graduation from the Elkland High School. The first few years of his working life he worked in the Elk- land Post Office under Joseph Smith. After this he obtained a six-year job for the B 8: S Rail- road, four years later for the Elkland Leather Company, and last but not least we find Mr. Smith is still holding the same position he start- ll-lE LOUD SPEAKER ed eleven years ago, rural letlcr carrier. Besides this Mr. Smith has held other positions too npi- merous to mention. When asked for his opinion of' a high school education he says he believes that "every boy and girl shlluld have a high school education if for no other purpose than to learn the method of applying one's self to any given task." .l0SEl'H SMITH Joseph Smith, the oldest active Democrat in Elkland, was born in West Union, New York in 1860 and received his education in the West Union School.

His love for young people and his kindness aml sympathy toward them is one of his most otit- :tanding characteristics. He is superintendent of the Methodist Episeol pal Sunday School and the teacher of the !1ll'll'b4 Bible class. Mr. Stanherry is an earnest Christ- ian and a really remarkahle Bible student.

Mr. Stanberry's reply when he was asked his opinion of education was "Every person should have a high school edacatiwn hy all means. Never quit until you have that much. and if there is a possihle chance for more, keep on. A high school education is enough for any persiin unless they are going' to take up a professi.ni."

FLA RK WOOD Mr. Wood, at present principal and Athletic coach of Elkland High School, comes from a line of distinguished and highly respected an cestors. On the paternal side was a grea: grandfather who served as a eolonel in the Civil War, and his motherfs father was superintendent of the toy factory here about thirty years ago. Mr. Wood also takes an active interest in the affairs ot' the church and school. lle is well liked and is very prominent in the affairs of his ehurch. At school hc exhibits some unilefinable power uhich helps him secure the cooperation of both the girls and boys in lzasketball and other sports. As a teacher hi: help is also valued, and students like to take sulrjccts under him. Ile niakes you work, but when you get through you know something about XOUI' subject, Mr. Wood was born in lsllklanrl. l'a. on July 4. 1902, the son of Mr. and Mrs. T. C. Vt'ood llis boyhood was spent in Elkland. where he obtainel his early education.

Because he takes such an interest in it, he makes a very good coach, Mr. Wood's opinion of education is practicallv time same as W. Faunce's who writes: "Most Americans do value education as a business asset, but not as the entrance into the joy of in- tellectual experience or acquaintance with the lpi st that has been said or done in the past. 'lhey value it not as an experience but as a trol." Eff . vt! .
