SENIOR CLASS. miot The sunset of school days has come, And with it, all the glow That makes the hour more beautiful To us, who must go. The sunset, and the day is done, How beautiful and clear We see our paths of duty there. Before the stars appear. Oh, Alma Mater, lead us on, Our hearts we give to you, And as we harder battles win We’ll give all praise to you. “Right and Forward,” bind us close. We always will be true. We’ll win our highest victories. Beneath our “White and Blue.” The sunset, and the daylight fades. And darkness gathers on; Oh, will another era bloom To meet the one that’s gone? Oh, will the daylight come again, Disclose the rising sun? May God His highest honors give, And bless us, every one. Elizabeth H. Simpson. 11 o r|N the autumn of 1912 twenty-six fresh- JJ men of the genus “Crudus viridus” were enrolled in McClellandtown High School. During the year we studied hard and won the respect of our Professors and upper class men. In faot our first class president won so great favor in the sight of a pretty young sophomore miss that we could not induce either to return to High School the following year, but we did give them an excellent “shower.” The second year we added fresh laurels to those already gained, contributing largely to the success of Literary Societies, Orchestra and Athletic Organizations. There were, however, only eighteen left, and these of a most diversified type. Of the fourteen left this year to graduate there are no two of the same opinion in anything, and as there are seven boys and seven girls all votes in our Class meetings are a tie. We have studied hard and in consequence have gotten a va’uable amount of substantial knowledge. A large number of us will probably be back next year for the additional work offered to the three year pupils. Longfellow has said “The history of the past is a mere puppet-show. A man comes out and blows a 1 ttie trumpet and goes in again; you look for something new. and lo! another man comes out and blows a little trumpet and goes in again, and it is all over.” When we were Freshmen we blew the trumpet, when we were Sophomores we blew the trumpet, this year you looked for something new, and lo! another man came out and blew a little trumpet, but it is all over. We bid our gentle readers an affectionate farewell; this is our last opportunity as a class. If you wish to keep track of us further you will have henceforth to look in the Alumni Notes for us.

By CHARLES PATTERSON HE world’s history is a divine poem of which the history of every nation is a canto and every man a word.” This definition. which James A. Garfield gives to history, is very good, and yet permit me to say that if the History of the present Sophomore (’lass, with its droll Harry, its funny Harold, and its whimsical Leroy and amusing Wallace, were set down as a divine poem it is probable that no one would read further than the first paragraph. The history of a High School is a humorous lyric, the history of each class is a stanza thereof, the Faculty are a line, the Seniors a period, the Juniors a semicolon, the Sophomores a dash and the Freshmen an interrogation point. On the first of September, 1913, exactly three dozen of us came rolling in through the front door of M. H. S. like so many eggs, we certainly were all “fresh,” but it was a question in our minds whether our skulls had developed sufficient haid shell to warrant permission to remain. We passed a very pleasant and profitable year together. In the fall of 1914 we entered as Sophomores; it was our time then to make the “dash.” Three of the original members did not dash, so we added another Mabel to the two we already had and took dn Arthur, making us but one short of the original number. The Sophomore Class gave a reception to the Freshmen on the 18th of September. This was a splendidly arranged affair and it must have been interesting to spectators to see how the Platonic Loves of a year’s duration had been broken and the Sophomore boys paired off with Freshmen girls and the Sophomore girls went to the table with a “Greenie.” Although we do not have the privilege to graduate in the old three years’ course, we can feel proud of the fact that we will be the first class to graduate in the new High School building. Our High School days are half gone, but with the new building during the next two years you can look for some wonderful th ngs from the Class of 1917. So hurrah ! for this grand McClellandtown High ! 18 o ii 11 a u i o v o o uq .()— There’s a song that fills the air, 1917! You can hear it everywhere, 1917! From the east to the west, 1917 is the best You can hear the echo; hark, 1917! CHORUS Then we’ll sing to the praise of our Class, Yes. we’ll sing; And we’ll up with a cheer for our school, Make it ring. And never for a minute will we forget. We’re in it. So hurrah! for this grand McClellandtown High. Oh, it’s hard to put us down, 1917! And we’re known all over town, 1917! For our colors clear and bright, R:ch purple and purest white, We defend with all our might, 1917! On the field or at our books, 1917! It is plain to him who looks, 1917! That we’re studious and fleet, That we never broke defeat, That we’re pretty hard to beat, 1917! When we graduate at last, from M. H. S., And the work and play are past, at M. H. S., We’ll come back and shout again, Till hills repeat the strain, From the school without a stain, M. H. S. —Song Committee. 19 FRESHMAN. ]mail Clasts -----o----- MOTTO : Nulla vestigia retrorsum.

By ANNABELL M COLLINS )JT[ ISTEN, dear reader, and you shall hear, not of the midnight ride of Paul Revere, but a short history of a lively class of students. August 31. 1914, seemed to be rather a gloomy day for the fifty-seven Freshmen who rolled into the McClel’andtown High School, because it was the beginning of a long educational journey. But we were bright and studious lads and lassies and took up our task with zeal and earnestness. We were in High School but a few weeks until the Sophomores demonstrated their high esteem for us by tendering us a reception, in which the professors joined, a’so expressing reverence for us. I might say that the class has never lost sight of its original motive in coming to H’gh School, namely to seek an education; for we chose for our motto “Nulla vestigia retrorsum,” meaning “No footsteps backward,” a motto which we have always tried to live up to. We also selected for our colors Gold and White. The class of 1918 has been very active in literary work. In both societies our members have worked zealously and have done credit to the class. While our class has been actively engaged in study and literary work, we have also tried to play pranks upon the professors, hut were greeted each time in return with the usual number of “Demerits” which we soon learned to escape by behaving ourselves. Now, as our first year’s labor is about to close, many interesting tales might be told if space would permit. However, we are very young in our High School course, and wh'le ours has been crowned with unusual success so far, we see still brighter things in the future. As we are about to part for a few months’ vacation, we hope that we shall all meet again for another round of life’s work, and may the lemaining years be as pleasant and cheerful as the first, and many thanks be to the professors and students for their many acts of kindness towards us; such are the wishes of the Class of 1918. 24 3're$hmmi Souq ------o------- (Tune: Tramp, tramp, tramp, the boys are marching.) In the County of Fayette, There’s a town we’ll ne’er forget; For its talent and its knowledge so profound; And we need not tell Its name For you’ll know it by its fame When the year of 1918 comes around. CHORUS. Forward, then is our endeavor. Backward, never steps to turn. With our colors Gold and White, We are bound to win the fight. When the year of 1918 comes around. McCiellandtown, as you may guess, Is the name we can’t suppress; With its teachers and its High School of renown. And our Class in time to come, In the school will make things hum, When the year of 1918 comes around. We the class of M. H. S. Striving hard to win success; Depths of Wisdom, and of Mysteries to sound, But to us it seems so clear, We shall nothing have to fear, When the year of 1918 comes around. Sophs, and Juniors, Seniors, too, Kiind regards from us to you, And by all of us may Wisdom’s way be found; And though we are Freshmen yet, Our Diplomas we shall get VV’hen the year of 1918 comes around. 25 —Helen G.

Around it still the Freshmen play And Sophomores are bawling. Within professor’s desk is seen Some very strange collections; Some red neckties, some battered hats, And apples bit in sections. The foolish hats upon their heads. The bright red hose, betraying Brains that once in Sophies’ heads, Are other places straying. The jaunty Seniors, with the-ir heads Chuck-full of brains and learning. Are naming now the salaries They think they’ll soon be earning. But yet another comes along, With eyes that burn and glisten. He’s full of business through and through. He makes you stand and listen. He talks in numbers high and low. Of profits large and small. He adds up figures by the mile, And never known to stall. He takes dictation by the hour. Sits down at the machine And typewrites letters for the boss. Without an error seen. He knows just how the business stands. The figures he can show. He knows just where to plant the seed To make the dollar grow. For he’s “Commercial.” Don’t you see He’s working on the plan That, when he grows up like his dad. He’ll be a business man. 29 of of of of of of Of of 'Ok ‘OXn frr- 2s Qs (is O' (2 O STUDENTS’ PAGE. (Ummnrrrial Tiftstunj (By Harold O. Gadd.) -----------O—-—--------- O a student who is to enter upon a business career, the Commercial Course offers his sole reasonable hope of success. The student who understands Bookkeeping, or Shorthand and Typewriting thoroughly, need never be out of employment. There are a great number of opportunities for a person who has completed a Commercial Course. Th Gregg system of Shorthand is taught. This system is easy to learn, easy to write, and capable of the highest speed. The Palmer Method of Business Writing has been continued. Certificates in Bookkeeping are awarded by the Southwestern Publishing Company. Free assistance in securing employment is given by this company to a holder of one of these certificates. In athletics and music the Commercial Department ranks high, having contributed several members to both the basketball team and the orchestra. Our Alma Mater has always found the Commercial willing and ever ready to help in any of the High School events. One of the most notable events which took place during the past year, was a surprise party given in honor of I. N. Riffle by the Commercial Department. This was a grand success and was enjoyed by all who w'ere present. In the M. H. S. Commercial Department there were 24 students the past year; one post-graduate, five sophomores, and seventeen Freshmen. One of us was married, another secured employment, and so on until twenty good ones were left to carry on the work here. 31 (fimtra? nf Utility OF GERMAN TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL Under the Four Year Plan, 8 Months’ Term.

AT the beg'nning of the school year an Athletic Association was formed, composed of all members in the High School who were interested in athletics. The officers elected were: Karl Kendall, ’14, President, and Joseph V. Blanc, T5, Secie- tary. On the retirement of Mr. Kendall, Prof. R. E. Rudisill was elected President. Out of this association the celebrated baseball and basketball teams were chosen. William Talbot was chosen captain of the baseball team, and he led his team through a very successful season, having defeated the strongest teams in the surrounding country. “Biscuit” Newcomer was elected captain of the High School basketball team, and this team also did some very good work on the floor. Professor Robert R. McCombs coached this team throughout the season. The manager elected for this team was Professor Ira N. Riffle. A team was organized by each society. The Lanierians elected “Biscuit” Newcomer as their captain, and the Franklins elected Wallace Moser to lead them through. Since it was late in the season, only one game was played between the tw'O societies. But we hope to continue the struggle in the fine basketball hall in the New High School building, which the School Board is doing its best to have completed in time for next season. We all look forward tc this basketball hall with great anticipation. 33 BASEBALL TEAM Karl Kendall, pitcher. Ray Lilly, catcher. George Brown, first base. Joe Blanc, second base.

She has added to her “Roll of Honor” some promising new members. It is with the greatest pleasure and satisfaction that we review the work of the past year. The literary work is a regular part of the High School Course This phase of the School work in former years was stimulated by an annual contest, and the Lanierians always carried away the honors by defeating their rivals. We are glad to say that, although we do not have the inter-society contest at the present time, the name Lan ' ierian still stands for victory. We met in the Lanierian hall this year with a greater number of members than ever before. With the right spirit from the very beginning, the weekly ptograms were rendered with a vim and force that was distinctly “Lanierian.” Interest and enthusiasm were evident though there was no con.est. The many well selected readings, recitations, musical numbers, and the debates, were a keen source of pleasure throughout the year. The special Anniversary Program held this year was a winner. Every number on the program was especially well rendered. The auditorium was well filled and our visitors showed their appreciation for the numbers on the program by many encores. At this meeting, two honorary members were unanimously elected to membership in our Society. Dr. S. B. McCormick, Chancellor of the University of Pittsburgh, and I)r. Thomas Marsh, Slate High School Inspector. Lanierian can indeed be proud to welcome these men into membership in the society. The Lanierian Literary Society is alive to every improvement, and to those who contemplate taking a course in this school, we would say, “Be a Lanierian.” 40 ICatuman Debating Hmm Presidents.

In the beautiful afterglow Of another year now ended, As the years are won’t to go— We peer forth into the future, A guide for the night, to find, Forgetting—yet still remembering That we can’t quite leave behind The flag, that has led us onward. When friendship won the fight, The flag above, the flag we love, Lanierian’s Red and White. And oft when the clouds hang heavy, And the goal seems far away, How then we yearn, and the memories turn, For the strength of the flag, to stay. The ache that comes when one’s alone; And we long for the song that we knew When the day was bright and there was no night To combat and struggle through. And the colors, then still remembered, RIaze forth in their strength and might. The flag of all, the flag we call Lanierian’s Red and White. 'Tis friendship most that is needed, And the clasp of a fellow hand. E’en only a smile will make worth while, The toil of a true blue clan, And tho’ on a sea that is troubled. Or still on a rocky path, That hand will steer, and that smile with cheer, As we meet the world with a laugh. For off where the goal is highest; Where the conqueror stands aright, A flag will be; a flag we’ll see, Lanierian’s Red and White. 42 —Charles II. Taylor, ’ll. ffiammmt 8 mtg From M. H. S. our cheers and songs are ringing out. To help us on and lead to victory. Dear M. H. S. has helped us all our honors win. Her praises sing in our society. CHORUS. Lanierians are inarching onward, To highest goals we lead the way. Our songs we’re singing, our cheers are ringing. We’ve fought our battles day hy day. Lanierians are marching onward. Beneath the banner “Red and White,” It will protect us; it will direct us. We’ll sing the victor’s song with might. We stand for truth and “Virtue lives beyond the grave. The motto that we hold the best of all, Will lead us on and win the day for M. H. S. With all our strength we answer duty’s call. When life is done and all have passed beyond the grave. The name we love, to highest points will soar. Lanierians will stand for battles fought and won, Her victories will stand forevermore. 4.°, —I. N. Rime. ODlft 3Frattkltn b Sjiatiirg T is said, “Happy is the nation whose annals are brief.” This applies to societies as well as to nations. The annals of our society, though brief, abound in good deeds, good fellowship, and great literary spirit. We do not boast of holding any exacted place, but ours is a society scarcely surpassed in “rounding out” the boy or girl. This becomes self-evident to one upon visiting the society at any regular meeting. So it is our aim to elevate the society as a whole and not have a few “shining lights.” We are especially fortunate this year in having added to our roll a large number of enthusiastic and efficient Freshmen, any of whom have proved themselves loyal and wot thy to work under the colors of “Azure and White.” “Old Franklin,” by which our society is known, has established a precedent of revering Benjamin, after whom our society has been named, annually with exercises appropriate for commemoration. Each year we try to improve upon the old one. Whether we do or not, that is the question. But this year we have eclipsed all former programs and the entertainment had been pronounced by all present as being an extraordinary one. The good fellowship which prevails among Franklins never dies out. This oannot be more evident that the scene on Anniversary Night when all the Alumni respond to the call and rally around our dear old colors, ever ready to uphold the honor of the “Azure and White.” May this spirit ever continue. At this meeting we elected to our society as an honorary member, a scientist of renown; a man who has united the Atlantic with the Pacific, not by a canal, but by telephone lines; a man known to us all—Dr. Bell. This makes the fifth great scientist of whom we can well feel proud. With five such men as Franklin, Edison, Alexis Carroll, Goethals, and Bell, side by side, whose thoughts could not be aroused? What society would not be glad to have them and feel well repaid in having them? 44 ODlii iPrankltn s Sfistnrg (Continued) ----------0---------- Old Franklin Hall has again resounded under the strains of her orchestra, which has added a great amount of inspiration on every occasion. The members comprising the orchestra are: Karl Kendall, ’14; Prof. Sheetz, Prof. Rudisill, Sylvia Gray, ’17; Albert Yanchus, ’17; Joseph Blanc, ’15, and Sarah Dearth, T7. In athletics, too. we are by no means outclassed. Franklin has furnished several of the best players for this year’s basketball team. In receipt of a challenge, by the sister society, to contest in basketball, we were undecided as to whether we had the material or not, but realizing that Franklin can always do her best when called upon, mustered up a team in the persons of Blanc ’15, Moser ’17, Gray ’17, Brown ’18, Spicher ’18, Yanchus ’17, and defeated the Lanierians by the score of 29—14. However, all our success and victories we attribute, not to any merit of our own. but to our motto: “Faith Is Duty,’’ which has inspired us as a society to cover with honor the coveted goal, and remembering that “he who does all he can, does well, angels can do no more,” therefore all criticism we shall banish on the wings of the wind. —Historian. rftmiklm Po -------------o------------- As I sit here in the gloaming. Thinking of the days gone by. And my fancy goes a roaming, My! how time does seem to fly. Once again I see my schoolmates, Gathering ’neath the “Red and Black,” Working, striving, toiling onward, Always onward, never back. Oh! the times we had together. Always taking things at best, And we always will remember Franklin’s name above the rest. Like a moonbeam in the darkness. Comes to me a vision bright, And I see again a dear old Flag of “Azure” and of “White.” And what may that be ,you ask me? Flag of “Azure” and of “White.” ‘Tis the dear old Franklin Banner, “Blue” for heaven, “White” for right. How we fought beneath that banner, As the time did swiftly roll, Faith Is Duty,” as our motto, Helped us onward to our goal. Still we often had our troubles. Those who win must always fight, But we all had faith in Franklin And it made our burden light. But the work we did as Franklins, Bless that dear, familiar name, Helped to make our rough way smoother To a higher place in fame. And each year as some departing Filled with memories, sad, but sweet To themselves, that dear old motto, “Faith Is Duty,” oft repeat. 4G frank Bnonn (continued) ------------o------------ And as one by one they lefi us, Each with calm, determined face, We would always find some new ones Who were glad to take their place. With such records set before us. Which we did our best to break. How we strove to raise them higher, For our grand old Franklin’s sake. Here’s to dear old Alma Mater, Red and Black o’er all the rest. Wave your triumphant banner For only you can be the best. Here’s to all the dear old “Franklins.” Here’s to “Azure” and to “White.” And our motto, “Faith Is Duty,” Which has won us many a fight. —J. V. Blanc, ’15. ------------0-----------— FRANKLIN SONG. A song of dear old Franklin we will sing kind friends to you. And give to dear old M. H. S. all praise and honor due, For on the terraced banks of old Monongahela’s strand. There stands the hall of Franklin; she’s the fairest in the land. CHORUS. Loyal sons of Franklin, may we ever be. Living not alone for time but for eternity. To dear old Franklin’s standard may we keep our hearts aright, Hurrah. Hurrah for Franklin, the Azure and the White! The White and Azure proudly floats o’er Franklin’s famous hall, Extending a most cordial welcome to our members all. No spot on earth is half so grand, to memory half so bright, As where beneath old Franklin’s gaze we learned to do the right. Our motto, “Faith Is Duty,” let us bind it to our heart. And live that each immortal word becomes of life a part, As onward then through toil and strife our journey we pursue. May we be guided in the right by Fianklin’s teachings true. —W. E. Fairman. 47 ALBERT MONTGOMERY. ts % JACOB BURKHOLDER SHEETZ. RALPH E. RUDISILL IRA N. RIFFLE. Slnbrrt Say MrCEnittba Robert Ray McCombs was born in McClelland town, Pa., January 23, 1888. Hiis early education was received in the schools of German Township. He began .his teaching at the Lambert School, German Township. After teaching three years he entered Bucknell Academy, and was graduated in the class of 1908. Mr. McCombs worked with the Union Supply Company for one year and again took up teaching, accepting the Principalship of the Filbert Schools. Later he entered Bucknell University from which institution he was graduated in the class of 1914, receiving his A. B. degree. Shortly after graduation from Bucknell he took charge of the History and English Department of the German Township High School. ----------o---------- WHY A NEW HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING? — w HE question has often been asked “Why does the High School 1 (!jl . get so much money?”. Is it right to pay a surgeon $500 for an operation lasting an hour, when a washerwoman works a whole year for less than that amount? If the operation could save some one dear to you, would you pay the money? What ds the High School doing that makes it worthy of so careful nuture? We used to think education is a preparation for life. The adolescent will not stand that definition. His world is an eternal now. Education is not a preparation for life. Education is life. The High School period is the time when the appeal comes that makes a pupil do his best for the fellow next to him and for himself. The child’s mind is not so much a store rcom as it is a garden. Neglected, this garden grows up in weeds of ignorance and vice. Cultivated, it produces plants of use and beauty, and there are two strongly differentiated growing seasons, each with its own most suitable crop, and requiring its own special method of cultivation. The first matures when the boy is 12 or 14. and the second when he is 18 years of age. It is during the second period of growth that society demands specific returns. There are two main arguments in defense of the Public High School. “One is the philanthropic motive for furnishing to all young people, at public expense, equal opportunity for personal advancement. The other is the more selfish incentive that prompts society to give better training in order that it may be more efficiently served.” To be explicit, the subjects of study, the methods of instruction, the buildings and equipments of twenty years ago will not suffice to fit young people for college, for business, for professions and for the home under our more recent and infinitely complicated conditions of life. The High School period is the time for the acquirement of greater skill in manipulation, and for the exercise of the several faculties that make a pupil self-reliant and self-directive. At this time the best laboratories and appaiatus available, the best libraries of reference books and efficient class and lecture rooms should be provided. Quoting from Horace Mann, “Education is capital to the poor man, and interest to the rich man.” Every cent invested in a good educational equipment will yield to society what it demands from the investment, namely, efficient service. RUSSELL COFFMAN Born March 13. 1893. Died May 2, 1914 IN MEMORY Of our dear schoolmate and alumnus, whom it pleased the Great Master to summon from our midst to the School Above. 54 V- i:t svc (� •n EXT to rel’gion music is perhaps the most universal and most potent influence in human development. Combined with religious sentiment, its influence is irresistable, for in it the loftiest thought finds its most perfect expression.” Potent as the influence of music is when heard from without, it makes its deepest impression when it becomes the means by which the human soul expresses itself to its maker. Through hygienic singing both the lungs and the vocal organs can be fortified and perfected as to help them ward off serious attacks of cold and the like. It is music that helps to make “home, sweet home”; dt tends to sweeten friendship; it promotes social heartiness; it fosters a love for school; it fires the heart with patriotic sentiments; it draws the soul into the very presence chamber of God and the things of God; it is preeminently the “divine art.” Realizing the influence of music and its importance in our curriculum course, we are by no means selfish when we say that we try to be above the average in this phase of school activities. We are especially fortunate in having teachers interested and trained in the art of music; so we are not handicapped in this respect. Appreciating and having a love for that which is the highest and best, we have faithfully pursued our course in singing in our morning's chapel, so that we have cultivated a taste for good songs. Our school orchestra has been faithfully 'practicing from time to time, and we do not boast in any exalted manner concerning it, but we can truly say with gladness that its members have demanded many encores. The members comprising the McClelland.own High School Orchestra are; First Violins—Prof. Sheetz. Sylvia Gray T7, Albert Yanchus ’17. Elizabeth Szbarske ’18. First Cornet—Prof R'tfie, Alva Molton '15, Karl Kendall '14. Second Cornet—Glenn Emory '14. Cello—Prof. Rudisill. Hi urns and Traps—Joseph Blanc T5. Pianist—Sarah Dearth ’17. 55 N.
