GEORGE BROWN, ’18. George Brown would have .been a member of this year’s Senior Class but he responded early last spring to Co. D’s call for volunteers. While at G. T. H. S.. George was the back bone of our athletics, being an allround athelete. He was the fastest man that we have ever had on our basket-ball floor and holds the medal for first-place in broad jump in the Fayette County Inter-Scholastic Meet. Since in the army, “Brownie” has made good being raised from private to corporal. He played end on the Camp Hancock foot ball team, playing the game in his usual unique style. He had been appointed Camp instructor in bayonet drill and was selected one of the forty from the entire Camp for exhibition in bayonet drill in honor of Secretary Baker. Brown has the best wishes of G. T. H. S. for his success in army life, and we know that he will make good. I JOSEPHUS BAER, ’18. Josephus Baer was another member of this year’s Senior Class. He volunteered with Co. D. last April 27th and was moved to Camp Hancock, Augusta, Georgia, on Aug. 7th when his regiment was moved to that place. Big hearted, generous, willing, we miss him from our midst but are glad that he has joined so noble a cause. Josephus is well pleased with his new duties and is anxious to go over after the Kaiser. He is considered a good marksman in his company. CHARLES WEIMER, ’18 Charles Weimer was another of the trio of Seniors who went to the defence of his country to rid the world of the Prussian Military Spirit. While at High School, Charles had starred as tackle on the foot ball team. He held down this same position on the Co. D team. Weimer was a very jovial High School boy and well liked by all the stuidents. We know that with his mental superiority together with his grit, he will be far above the average soldier. CORP. TONY CAVALCANTE, ’19. Tony Cavalcante was a member of the present Junior Class, having enlisted in Co. D .before the close of his Sonhomore year. While at G. T. H. S., Tony was a very studious youth, considering education to be above everything else. He took part in every phase of athletics, starring on all the teams, playing full back in foot ball, catcher in baseball, and guard in basket ball. Tony has the right caliber in him that is bound to succeed. He already ranks as corporal in the National Army at Camp Hancock, Augusta Georgia. Keep going, Tony, you have the good will of G. T. H. S. back of you! —7— FOREWORD Due to the exorbitant prices, the many inroads upon our time, and the numerous sacrifices demanded by this war of world-wide Democracy, the Class of 1919 had hesitated this year in attempting to publish a LAUREOLA. However, at a late date, we had decided to present this, the ninth edition of the year-book, and to set down in a humble way all that enlivens, enobles, and enriches our school life. Therefore, kind reader, we beseech you to be lenient with us and not censure us too severely if this edition does not meet with your approval. Not as great poets do we try to entertain you, not as skilled artists do we attempt to paint master-pieces for you but rather in the role of High School students. If, fellow-students, alumni, and friends, we can make you feel and recall the many en.iovable moments that were once yours, whether it oe within the halls of G. T. H. S. or any.little red-brick school-house; if we can transfer you once more into the palmy days of youth, then shall we feel repaid. Should you peruse anything within these pages that seems to strike a discordant note, we assure you that it had crept in unbeknownst, and ask you but to pass it by and look for the better things. “If a bit of sunshine hits ye, Glancing sidewise from a cloud; If a bit of laughter gits ye, And your spine is feelin’ proud; Don’t forget to up and fling it At a soul that’s feelin’ blue, For the minute that you sling it, It’s a boomerang to you.” “THE STAFF.” —8— CALENDAR.

We’ll guard her emblem well, that none may float ahead Of Alma Mater’s banner fair, the Black and Red. (Harmony—Loud) O! Black ani Red we love thy fair, fair folds; A treasure that each son and daughter sacred holds. Then proudly wave as years go fleeting by Ths emblem of our dear old German Township High. (Unison—Maestoso). Hail to the Alma Mater that we love, And love her well, as each can tell. Hail to the flag that floats above them all, The Black and Red must float ahead, Hail to the motto that we love the best, “Scientia potestas est.” Wave Red and Black forever, Falter may you never, Dear Old German Township High! Thy praises we will sing, 0! Alma Mater dear, Our songs and cheers shall ring, for you from year to year The lessons we have learned, in life shall be our guide, And may we all, at duty’s call turn back with pride. —J. B.

Under the tutelage of capable instructors we were destined to learn the whys and wherefores of the problems of life. Among our class-mates were some earnest students whose sole purpose and desire was to receive a practical education; and others there came, not knowing why, unless it was because they had been sent. As for the latter the course proved a decided struggle and unfortunately failed to achieve the desired goal. Our vacations always seemed too short! But we found the September school days awaiting our return. Finally we became Seniors, proud possessors of a much desired state of being. The last moments of our school life at G. T. H. S. saw us truly and earnestly at work, in order to successfully carry out our plans we elected class officers. We found in the person of Robert McClelland a man worthy as President with a close second Isaac Hixon, as Vice President. And to Marie Jankey fell the lot of keeping the records of our important but stormy career. It is not the intention of the writer to make it appear that the Class, altho seriously inclined, did not participate in the lighter things of life. There were class plays, parties and numerous get-to- ethers—all for the purpose of arousing school spirit and a closer tie of friendship among our class-mates. At the moment of separation when the Class disbands, we summon ourselves to the conviction that we have failed to a certain extent in our duties, that we might have given more for what we received—but to our Alma Mater we pledge once more our loyalty—to bring whatever honors we may share in our lives to her fair name. —22— JUNIORS c W-B3E, s«mm 1 —23— THOMAS YANCHUS, President of Class. JUNIOR HISTORY. The matter of writing the history of the Class of 1919 is of no little concern. Not that we lack material and facts to speak of but that they may be presented in such a form as to receive the proper interpretation. We regret that so many of those who started on the journey with us have discontinued it. We are glad that new ones have joined our ranks and have shared our trials and triumphs. We started the Junior year with an enrollment of sixty-two, the largest Junior Class in the annals of G T. H. S. which may be due, probably, to the fact that we were the first Freshman Class that entered the new High School Building. The Class of T9 has always taken an active part in the various school activities. Intellectually she is proficient, which is shown by the high averages, having worked hard and faithfully from the very beginning of the year. In literary activities, she deserves special mention. The Juniors have contributed their share to the musical organizations, having three in the orchestra and two in the Mandolin Club. In basket-ball, we have never been excelled. This year our class team carried, off the honors and won a large championship banner. Four members of 1919 helped to win fame for the varsity on the basket-ball floor. What our class will be we cannot tell; but this we know that is cannot be surpassed in loyalty and devotion for old G. T. H. S. —24— —EDNA VAJL. CORDINA BARZANTI Masontown, Pa. Hark—look—a bonny wee lass with hazel eyes and nut-brown hair. “Cora” is a very apt pupil but she does not like to get to school very early. She has great trouble in keeping her hair in shape, and her favorite expression is, “Oh, just look at my hair!” EGIDIO BLASOTTI Masontown, Pa. Hats off! to this little lad, who is always working and never shirking. This little youth is always found at the head of his class. In basket-ball, lie’s the life of the team and has helped to bring forth many victories to G. T. H. S. as well as his class and society teams. JEANETTE BLANEY Masontown, Pa. Jenaette thinks that there will .be a great demand for cooks after this war, so she has elected the Domestic Science course. She is a very good cook. Jeannette likes to run the typewriter and play the mandolin. She is a member of the Mandolin Club. KATHRYN COLLINS Masontown, Pa. Here is Katie, a quiet and harmless little lass, who devotes her time in getting out her lessons before pleasure. When everyone is out for recreation, she may be found hard at work in her classroom and for this reason she stands foremost in her class. She says business is before pleasure, so with this in mind we know that she will go through life a conquerer of all obstacles. —25— JOSEPH C. COVER Smtihfield, Pa. “Joe” spent his first two years with us as an agricultural student, but is now making good also in the commercial department. He is a worthy student and his happy look and sociable disposition shorten and enliven our long school hours. The class feels sure of Joe’s success. ELIZABETH DALZELL Mt. Sterling, Pa.

Hazel, or ‘‘Sally” as she is known, is a jolly maiden and has a smile for everyone. She likes to cook, sew and study. However, when there is any fun around, you can depend upon “Sally” joining the merry group. She takes the Scientific and Domestic Science courses. —27— - JOHN FRANKS McClellandtown, Pa. HATS OFF! For behold who is in our midst! He is the only one of his type in our class. The one peculiar characteristic of this evolutionized biped is his general dislike for all studies, whether pertaining to bookkeeping or to the vivesection of protozoans. But nothstanding this failing he is the possessor of other good traits and qualities with which we hope he may enter into a happy and prosperous future. MARGARET GANOCZY Masontown, Pa.

Who always looks forward to the right, BESSIE KERMES New Salem, Pa. “Bess” is another quiet lass of the Junior Class and is very studious and proficient in all classes. “Bess” is a rare type of girl because she does not make herself conspicuous in the halls. Let us hope that she will make a success in life in whatever path she chooses. WILLIAM MATYUS McCIellandtown, Pa. “Bill” is a good Junior, loyal and true. When not driving his Ford, he can be seen pounding the type-writer. Whatever you say about “Bill,” he has a mechanical mind and we believe that he should become a mechanical engineer. What do you say, Bill? —30— MARGARET MARUCKY Masontown, Pa. Here is a girl whose name is “Maggie.” She certainly isn’t very large but is always talking and full of fun. Margaret is a very loyal Lane-rian and has shown much talent in various High School performances. Margaret takes the commercial work. ETHEL McCANN McClellandtown, Pa.

It is not often that we are permitted to feast our eyes in unbridled joy and amazement upon such an astute paragon of infinitesimal and consummate wisdom Ray makes a fine business man as his splendid record shows in the capacity of the Laureola’s Business Manager. If he succeeds as well in life as in High School, he will be one of the few that the school will be proud of. J. L. NEWCOMER McClellandtown, Pa. Stop—look—listen—a Daniel has come to judgment. “Jake” is the heavy-weight champion of our class. Jake is 1t home no matter whether upon the stage, in the pulpit, or on the farm. His main hobbies are farming and studying literature(?). ELEANOR PAYTON -Martin, Pa. Well—here we are at last with one of the most loyal students in the class.

SOPHORIORE HISTORY. (By Lewis H. Blanc). It was on the second of October, 1916, that our class entered German Township High School. There were fifty-two members and all of us were fresh and green like the grass in the early spring. Our freshman year was passed very successfully although a few of our members dropped from the roll. The most interesting day for us was our trip to Uniontown to have our class photograph taken. The photographer said we broke about a dozen plates. Several of our members took part in the plays that were given at the High School. Then the next year we entered as Sophomores, were all happy as ever and anxious to be back at the dear G. T. H. S. to see some of those familiar faces once again. On the twenty-second of March, 1918, we held a reception for the Freshies. The gymnasium was decorated in green. This was not only to be in keeping with the Saint Patrick season, but also to be in perfect harmony with the verdure and greenness of the Freshmen. The reception was a very successful affair and every one went home that night with a smile on his face. Half of the High School days will soon be gone. The flashy neck-tie and the loud socks of the genus Sophomores will soon have evoluted into an almost new and distinct species called Junior. Until that time we will chase our Caesar ponies to pasture, and cultivate our war gardens and then come back to follow in the tracks of our worthy predecessors, the Juniors. —42— FRESHMAN CLASS.

While the cause of my depression And heart aching was, alas! I was fearful of the future Of the present Freshman Class. Then I had a mental picture Of this class, and failed to see Where you could pick out one genius From the entire thirty-three. True they all were splendid class mates And not one by nature mean Some were tall and some were shorter, Some were fat, and some were lean. Hut when you begin to wonder What this class could really do, You were forced to make confession, Their accomplishments were few. Then there came a little story, To my mind of long ago, How there grew a tiny floweret Beautiful and white as snow. How it longed to be the color Of the sky’s deep azure blue And by looking and by longing, Into that color grew. Now there flashed into my mind A thought that startled me. How we could great heights attain, Our class of thirty-three. How we like the little floweret Could become just what we would. If we chose for our example Persons noble, tried, and good. And I knew that for these persons We should not have far to seek. For we meet them in the class-room, Five days out of every week. Suddenly the room grew warmer. And the sun began to shine And I cried “there is no .better’’ Than this good old class of mine. And while we hope the other classes May go forth with flags unfurled We feel the class in ’21 Will surely beat the world. —HARRY DePRIEST. One rainy day in the early autumn of nineteen hundred and seventeen, fifty-one bright and willing boys and girls took their places in German Township High School. We realized early that a responsibility had been placed upon the shoulders of the high school but by careful study and with a will to do the task that was set before us, we have successfully completed our first year’s work and have laid a firm foundation for our four years’ course. A class meeting was held September 7th, 1917, at which we elected our class officers. They have been very faithful throughout the year and have conducted very efficiently, the affairs of our class. Our class stands especially high in scholarship and our averages have been a subject of much favorable comment among students and teachers as well. In athletics, our team although having won but few games, showed speed, good passing and marked team-work, and by next year, we will probably give the present holders the championship flag a close contest. Our colors are blue and white and the pink carnation is our class flower. ‘‘Umquam altior,” meaning “Ever Higher,” is the motto we expect to keep. Now at the close of the first one of our four years, our class history is a short .but noble one and although the class of nineteen hundred and twenty-one is at the bottom of the list, we are the future men and women of the nation and in completing our course here, we promise to make the best of our opportunities and go forth well equipped to help in the historymaking of the present century. —JESSIE GAULT.

September 3, 1917, saw thirty-six students enroll in the Commercial Department of the High School. In this enrollment was the largest number of students taking the regular four-year course that had ever been previously enrolled. Heretofore the majority of the students making up the Commercial Department were special students taking either one or two years of the high school course. We are increasing in the number of regular students every year and if the present demand for people with business training continues, the time is not far distant when the Commercial Department will be the biggest department in the school. This year seven Seniors completed their four-year course, and fourteen Juniors are now finishing the third year’s work. Commercial students have performed faithfully their part in school work and have had their share of the social activities of the school. While they have not figured prominently in the various plays and choruses, they have been faithful to their work and to the school, and endeavored always to help carry out anything which the student body has had an interest in. When hustlers were wanted, the Commercial Department was always called upon. When workers were needed we always had an invitation, and we never failed to respond and do our best. “Work and Win,” the motto of our Department, is kept constantly in mind and we believe that the student who renders the most service to his school will, as he goes through life, render the most efficient service to his fellowmen. The biggest and best citizen of every community is the man who renders the most service to that community. —51— INDUSTRIAL DEPARTMENT. (By Prof. C. K. Douglas). The Superintendent of Schools and the Board of Education of German Township, knowing that this community is in need of skilled mechanics and young men with a technical training, have decided to give the pupils entering the High School an opportunity to develop their natural ability along those lines. In view of the ever increasing scarcity of technically trained men, the School District has been very prompt in responding to the nation’s call. It is not the idea of the Industrial Department to teach the pupil to make things that he will never use, but (1), to train his mind and hands in the use of tools in such a way that will aid him in his daily vocation, after he has finished school, (2), to give him a trade that he will be better able to support himself, (3), to give him the foundations for a technical training better than we can give him in a High School Course, (4), to teach him that it is a necessity to develop the use of the hand as well as it is to develop the mind. To get this desired result the pupil will study Mechanical Drawing, Joinery, Cabinet Making, Pattern Making, Forging, Practical Electricity, Shop Mathematics, Machine Shop Practice, Foundry Work, Business English, Physics and Chemistry. The course is so outlined that each subject correlates with each subject of the others. For example, in Mechanical Drawing, the pupil is taught to make a detail drawing of the project to be made in joinery, also in the advanced Drawing, he first makes —52— a complete detail sketch of the article to be made in the pattern shop, which is afterwards cast in the foundry, and finally machined in Machine Shop practice. The Practical Electricity will be put to use in all four years of the course. First, the construction of a motor; second, the care; and third, the repairing of any broken part. This year our shop is equipped to take care of the Freshmen only, but each succeeding year it is proposed to equip a shop that will furnish apparatus for the training of the advanced class. In the Manual Training Department, the pupil is first taught the care and use of the hand-tools by giving him a succession of projects in which the advanced model includes new exercises, such as squaring a board, working, straight line, outside curves, inside curves, circles, and assembling. The following are a few of the projects showing the gradual succession of exercises; fitting block, bench hook, nail-box serving for tray, tie-rack, broom-holder, book-rack, coat-hanger, tabourette, chair, library table, and buffet. From this point, the pupil chooses his own project with the aid of the instructor. Mechanical Drawing includes free hand lettering, block letters and numbers, geometrical problems, projection, machine detail, third angle projection, isometric drawing, free hand sketching of machine parts, cam motions, forms for gear teeth, involute and worm gearing, intersectors and development, and belting. In closing, the department wishes to thank the School Board and patrons for the interest shown and extend to every one an invitation to visit and criticize our work. —53— u%TAr XX i T ICP □RILL PRESS MECHANISM IX reread j X7e rkuJ SENIOR THESIS BT CAar mt it km StonedJ-X- 8 Ccm ktad 4-IX'lQ SoTfth. iP 'AylI SHUT . —55— DOMESTIC SCIENCE. (Miss Minnie Hoover). At no time has the science involved in the keeping of the home made itself so evident as at present. Domestic Science has come to stay. It is becoming a recognized fact that it needs preparation. Present conditions will cause the future call for mothers who understood the care and feeding of the family much better than the mothers of the past have understood it. Have you been introduced to calories? One of these days they will be as familiar as pounds or dollars. The fuel furnished the body by different food-stuffs is measured in calories. For example, a quart of milk supplies 675 calories, the same amount of heat as each of the following will give: 9 large or 10 small eggs, 4 1-2 pounds rutabagas, 1 1-4 pounds halibut steak, 3-4 pound dried beef. Now compare the cost of a quart of milk with each of these, and you will see that it is really as economical food. The object of domestic science work in the school is that a girl may learn how to plan, cook and serve meals at home, calculate the cost, and purchase foods in the best market at the lowest price. This includes knowing of the nutrative value of each food and its place in the diet. The comparison of a quart of milk with several other foods furnishes a good example to know whether a food is too high in price in comparison to its food value. With the progress of knowledge the needs of the human body —56— have not been forgotten. During the last decade much time has been given by scientists to the study of foods and their dietetic value, and it is a subject which rightfully should demand much consideration from all. I certainly feel that the time is not far distant when a knowledge of the principles of diet and of cooking will be an essential part of one’s education. Then the human race will eat to live, will be able to do better mental and physical work, and disease will be less frequent. The soldiers in the army contonments are given three balanced meals each day. The health and physical condition of the boys are self-evident proofs of what plain food, well balanced, will do for the human family. The health of every family is in the hands of the one who plans the meals and prepares the food they eat. In this day of incessant calls for substitution, the house-wife often feels that she is almost at her wits end to know how to meet these conditions and still properly nourish her family. We are greatly indebted to the labratories of food-chemistry, which are publishing in almost every magazine and in many daily papers, seasonable and tested recipes and balanced menus. It is the purpose of the domestic science department of this high school to put in the hands of the families, through the pupils of this department, as many of these recipes as is possible. Cooking means a knowledge of all the elements of food; it means carefulness, watchfulness, and readiness of appliances; it means the economy of our grandmothers and the science of the modern chemist; it means, in fine, that we be perfectly always ‘Ladies’—loaf givers. —57— —58— AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT. (Professor B. J. Saeta). Realizing that a chain is no stronger than its individual links, or that the German Township High School cannot receive the proper recognition as other schools of its size unless the different departments of instruction come up to the schools’ standard, the agricultural department has been making a valiant effort in trying to gain the same interest and importance as other lines of instruction in our school. Despite the many obstacles that confronted my predecessors, the agricultural department has been making rapid strides in the short time of its existence. When one considers that this region which is, figuratively speaking, wrapped up in interests other than developing agriculture, then, the work already accomplished deserves further consideration. Just what has been the nature of the work of the past three years in our department ? Besides the regular four years’ course of agriculture as outlined by the State Vocational Department at Harrisburg which includes theoretical principles and practical work in the field and class laboratory on all phases of agriculture, our students have carried on project work at home with reasonably good results. When the Township held its corn growing contest, the department saw two winners whose reward sent them on to visit their own State College of Agriculture. Another student was the most successful in raising more corn than any other boy in the County. On three occasions Community Day Exercises showed how boys of the school can make cooperation with the grown-ups of the community pay in developing an essential social spirit which promotes good fellowship and —59— sympathetic interest towards one another in the same fields of Agricultural endeavor. At the present time, the regular agricultural students are at work building hot-beds and cold-frames, making seed corn germination tests for farmers; for some, they are preparing incubators for Spring chicks; for others they are making milk tests for butter-fat. In one orchard, they have trimmed some apple trees which they expect to top-graft and later spray for fungus diseases and insect pests of the orchard. All in all, the classes are gradually renewing their interests in agriculture since their last instructor left. But the policy of patting one’s self on the back is not a good one—we realize that the work of the past is but a start for what must be done in the future in order to develop the agricultural resources of the community. At the present time when our country is struggling to crush German autocracy the students of our school should take their work more seriously. The Agricultural department of the German Towmship High School must cooperate with the other agricultural schools of the United States in doing their bit towards staying off defeat in the hands of imperalistic Germany. Our work then of the agricultural department must be clear and clean-cut. At this moment of our national existence when everything plays its part in helpin' our Allies, we must consider raising crops to the maximum production. Taking up the President’s suggestion of raising a volunteer army for war gardens, the school has plans already under way to organize community War-Gardens in the various sections of the Township; believing by this means to give a helping hand in the present day food situation. With renewed hopes, the agricultural department will endeavor not only to serve the school and communities, but the Country as well. —60— VARSITY VARSITY BASKET-BALL). (Egidio Blasoti). Blasoti, The need of quick action, sudden thought, and determination makes basket-ball a useful aid in developing the minds of boys and girls of high school age; and it has been for this reason that basket-ball has taken such a prominent part in school activities during the past few years. Although many High Schools and Colleges have adopted this year the plan of placing athletes under a war ban, still we deemed it proper that a team should represent G. T. H. S. on the basketball flooor. Due to a late start and the total lack of any of last year’s varsity men, we were a little handicapped at the beginning, but the boys soon made up for this by their willingness and determination. Contrary to what some of the results of the games were, the team played with a spirit and manner, which was remarkable considering the fact that to all of them this was their first experience of playing on a varsity team. The greatest achievement of the team was their victory over Uniontown High School team, one of the strongest in the County. Our boys placed their greatest efforts in winning the game and it proved to be one of the fastest and hardest fought games ever staged on our school floor. The game with Connells-ville, undoubtedly, would have had another tune had it not been for the loss of two of our men during the third quarter, as we had maintained the lead from the beginning of the game up until that point. As most of the boys will be back, we expect to have a strong and winning team on the floor next season. Blasoti.........R. F. Yanchus.........L. F. Smith.........Center Miller.........R. G.

CLASS OF 1918. CLASS OF 1921. CLASS OF 1920. CLASS OF 1919. INTER-CLASS BASKETBALL. Believing that sports and athletics are a real contribution to national defense, and that it is characteristic of our boys to indulge in them, the coaches tried to give the students of German Township High School this year an opportunity of making themselves physically fit, exhibiting their vigor and developing their alertness. For this reason, a strong series of inter-class games had been arranged whereby a large percentage of the boys were able to participate. These teams were developed from raw material by a corps of very efficient coaches, all of whom had a great deal of experience in the game, in the personnel of Professors McCombs, Douglass, and Saeta. These games were exciting from start to finish. Cheering was intense. Old time varsity players vied with their new opponents. The individual honors were carried off by Yanchus who had 28 field goals, Blasotti 23, Stofcheck 21, and Hixon and Blanc each 17. The various teams are to be commended upon their excellent scientific playing and true sportsmanship, being able to take a defeat as well as a victory. However, the Juniors had a little better of the bargain, winning all of the games in the series, carrying off as a prize a large championship banner of the Season of 1918. The following is the official score of games: Seniors 35...........................Sophs 25 Juniors 65........................Freshmen 9 Seniors 33........................Freshmen 17 Juniors 57...........................Sophs 28 Sophs 35..........................Freshmen 15 Seniors 17.........................Juniors 33 Seniors 35...........................Sophs 22 Juniors 53......................Freshmen 16 Total of points and standing: 1.

(By Ruth M. Ganoe). There is no subject taught in the public schools that holds more interest for the pupils than music when it is properly presented. While we have no special teacher of music, we have, by making use of the talent in our school and training corps, accomplished a great deal of work. Musical organizations of various kinds have been formed and have made creditable showing as well as the work they have done for the school. The Orchestra, Mandolin Club, and the Girls’ Glee Club are still doing their part in brightening up school life and entertaining the public. We feel the lack of regular instruction in music. It is made more noticeable by the fact that music is not given in the elementary grades as a part of the regular course of instruction. We are doing our best, but if the school board would employ a teacher of music for our school, we believe that teacher would find a rich field in which to work. Every teacher, every pupil and every alumnus of our school ought to urge the directors to furnish instruction in music. —68— ORCHESTRA. Piano—Helen Roycroft.

No great war was ever directly won with words, but it is as necessary to keep moist the tongues of a Nation’s People as it is to keep the powder of a Nation’s Army dry. When King Philip of Macedon tried to subdue the Peninsula, Demosthenes in his pure disinterested patriotism exposed the King’s grasping policy and hurled scathing invective against him. Cicero by his able oratory frustrated the conspiracy of Cataline and drove Verres the corrupt Praetor of Sicily from public life. Much of the success of Napoleon lay in his ability to command the affection of his army through addresses to his soldiers. The words of James Otis in 1761 “The only principles of public conduct that are worthy of a gentleman or a man are to sacrifice estate, ease, health and applause, and even life to the sacred calls of his country;” of Patrick Henry in ’75 “This is no time for ceremony. Gentlemen may cry peace, but there is no peace. The war is actually begun,” or of Samuel Adams in ’76, “The wish dearest to my soul is that these American States may never cease to be free and independent,” or the words of scores of other great men of the times had a great influence on the spirit which animated the soldiers that fought to make us a Nation and again to keep us united. Our “Four minute Speakers” throughout the United States have virtually set a nation’s people to thinking aright and fanned the fires of patriotism. Probably never before in the history of the world has oratory and public speaking been so much resorted to for a definite purpose as at the present time. Is it any wonder then that the Franklin and I anerian Literary Society meetings should have this year eclipsed anything heretofore attempted. Our motto and constant aim during the year was “Quality” and not “Quantity.” The Lanierians set a high standard in their Thanksgiving program. It was original in design and perfect in execution. The Franklins reached their zenith in a “Service Program” during the rendition which they presented to the High School a four by six foot service flag which has now thirty-one stars. The climax of literary society work was reached in the Christmas joint program when the Girls’ Chorus, consisting of Franklins and Lanierians rendered “The Song of the Angels,” a Christmas Cantata, and the boys of the two societies gave their original patriotic Pageant. Those who love the “Azure” have realized this year more than ever what “Faith is Duty” their motto means. For fifteen from their roll have responded to Duty’s call and are in the service. Those who follow the “Red.” as the great war goes on, and tragedy deepens, feel the hovering meaning of every word of their grand motto, “Virtus post funera vivit,” for they have sixteen in the service. —72— THE JUNIOR RED CROSS. (Ry Miss Lilian Rush). Standing face to face with one of the most critical periods in the history of the world; separated from friends and loved ones probably forever; and reviewing the rapid strides taken in the field of science in order to carry on warfare in the most cruel forms, we are prone to wonder whether or not these new inventions are not more criminal than beneficial. However with these new inventions for Militarism have come many improvements in Medical Science, such that gives us a satisfaction that our wounded men will receive care and attention of competent workers on the battle fields. What relief it is to know there will be no suffering in the present conflict as in early war times. For this feeling of relief we must look to the Red Cross, which is an organization backed ,by the Government and has for its President our own Nation's President. Woodrow Wilson. The organization had its beginning during the Crimean War under Florence Nightingale. Her service awakened others, and resulted in a Council of fourteen Nations at Geneva, Switzerland, in 18(54 when an international treaty was adopted, giving to the world the Organization of the Red Cross. In 1882 after the Civil War, through the efforts of Clara Barton, the Geneva treaty was signed by the United States, and the American Red Cross was established to act as a relief organization in time of peace as well as in time of war. Every true American should consider it not only a duty, but a pleasure to help along the great cause. It would be difficult indeed to estimate the amount of good done by the Senior Department. Boys and girls have said farewell to friends leaving for service and remained behind wondering what they could do to help win. The Junior Department of the Red Cross Organization answers this question for them, and calls for the service of every boy and girl in America. It is one big club including people of every nation, banded together for a common purpose and its work is what we call “Social Service Work.” The slogan of the Membership Drive of the American Red Cross was “A Heart and a Dollar.” But all the Juniors really need in order to begin is a “heart.” To be a member it is to be a part of a big movement with big ideals, the ideals for which our country is fighting to-day. The emblem of the organization is the em.blem of the Swiss banner with colors reversed. The red cross stands for sacrifice and stands on a white ground to give the idea of purity, for real sacrifice can come only from pure hearts. The cross has the same length on all four sides of its arms to signify that it gives life equally to all. It stands alone, no words or no markings on it. to show that the Red Cross workers have only one thought— “to serve.” When you wear the Red Cross button you are showing yourself a true, patriotic American boy or girl; and you are helping your father, your big brother and your friends to win the war. The McClellandtown Chapter of the Junior Red Cross stands for all Red Cross ideals and holds high the watchwords “Humanity and Neutrality.” The following officers have been elected to stand at the head of the Organization: President ........................ CARRIE McLEOD Vice President................CAROLINE DUGGAN Secretary ............................RUTH GANOE Treasurer.......................ARVELLA EL.LINGER Here’s wishing “Good Luck” to the officers and all members of the Junior Red Cross. —73— RUSTIC ROMEO.” (By Miss Marguerite Dearth). The efforts of the German Township High School students again met with marked success when they presented their second musical comedy “Rustic Romeo.” This play was written bp Walter Ben Hare, the author of “Savageland” which the pupils presented so admirably last year. Since this school has a great deal of musical talent, musical comedies are very popular here. “A Rustic Romeo” was given for the benefit of the Institute fund, and over three hundred dollars ($300.00) was realized from it. The speaking parts were well adapted and carried out in good manner that showed careful preparation on the part of both the actor and the coach. The music was catchy and well sung, while the dancing was splendid. The moonlirht scene was just as good. The waltz scene seemed to be the favorite of everyone and from the point of beauty it well deserved it. Again, as in last years’ play, the costumed, scenery, stage effects, lighting system, and all stage properties were designed by the high school students with assistance from the faculty. Great praise is also due Sara Sbarske, our proficient accompanist, without whose clever work the play could not have been such a success.

There have been advanced almost as many theories as to the origin of the “Stars and Stripes” as there were stars in the original ensign. Many still hold to the view that the new flag borrowed the stripes from the ensign raised on the ship “Alfred,” by John Paul Jones on Dec. 3, 1775, and the stars from the colonial banner of Rhode Island; others maintain that the idea for the flag was borrowed from the Netherlands. Whatever be their origin, there is no evidence in the official records of the time which would lead us to the conclusion that the Stars and Stripes were in U3e before the revolution of June 4, 1777. However, we have recorded the paintings of Trumbull and Peale pointing out its earlier use. But, this is believed to be a case of “artist’s license.” The well-known story of Betsy Ross, the so-called maker of the Stars and Stripes, is one of the most picturesque stories which has grown up around the origin of the flag. There was a Mrs. Ross, who was a flagmaker by trade, living in Philadelphia at the time of the adoption of the present flag. But as to this Mrs. Ross making the flag many historians disagree. The story of the first time in history that the Stars and Stripes went into action at sea is told by Captain Thomas Thompson, the American officer who commanded the ships “Alfred and Raleigh.” Captain Thompson sailed from Portsmouth to France capturing a small fleet there. We, Americans, recall with pride and pleasure that the first official salute to the Stars and Stripes was accorded by that nation to which, more than to any other, the U. S. owes its existence— France, the blood-ally of our darkest day, now, in turn, valiantly succored by us in her peril and hour of sorest need. The colors of our National Flag have been set forth as the red, the white, and the blue of the Star Spangled Banner. As in the words of Henry Ward Beecher, who expresses that, “A thoughtful mind when it sees a nation’s flag, sees not the flag but the nation itself, and whatever may be its symbols, he reads chiefly Winner of Laureola prize —77— in the flag the government, the principles, the truth, the history, that belongs to the nation that sets it forth,” so we consider our flag. The American Flag has been a symbol of Liberty, and men rejoice in it . The stars upon it are like the bright morning stars of God, and the stripes upon it are beams of morning light. As at early dawn the stars shine forth even while it grows light, and then as the sun advances that light breaks into banks of color of red and white along the horizon, so on the American flag stars and beams of many colored lights shine out together, and whenever this flag is beheld by men, they see in it no castles or imperial authority; they see the symbols of light. Our flag is the “Banner of Dawn.” We may trace the flag’s ancestry back to Mount Sinai whence the Lord gave to Moses the Ten Commandments and the book of the law, which testify of God’s will and man’s duty and which were placed in the Ark of the Covenant within the Tabernacle, whose curtains were blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen. Before the ark stood the table of shew bread, with its cloth of blue, scarlet, and white. These colors of the Jewish church were taken over by the early Western church for its own and given to all nations of western Europe for their flags. When the U. S. chose their flag, it was of the colors of the old, but new in arrangement and design, and they called it “The Stars and Stripes,” the red for courage, zeal, fervency; the white for purity, cleanness of life and rectitude of conduct; the blue for loyalty, devotion, friendship, justice and truth; and the star signifying dominion and sovereignty. The flag of America does more than acclaim a glorious history. Its folds wave a benediction to the yesterdays of accomplishment and beckon the tomorrows with hope and progress. It carries a message of hope and inspiration to all mankind. The Stars and stripes are the voice of America calling to other nations to christianize, to teach the rospel of work, to advance education to demand ourity of thought, and to protect liberties of free government, from despotic nower, in this hour of peril or crisis, when civilization and the laws of humanity are being engulfed in death and destruction. We hear quite often said, what is the real meaning of a flag? A Flag is a symbol of the aspirations and achievements of the people. Its origin is divine fro when at the beginning of recorded time Jehovah made a covenant with man, in which he promised that he never again would cover the surface of the earth with water, he unfurled the first flag—the “Rainbow”—in the heavens as an assurance to future generations of his watchful care. Since that day man has had his flag denoting faith, hope, and high resolve. We know that in the primitive a?e, the Indian had his flag which was a means of distinguishing between his own tribe and the enemy tribe. If it were not for the flag placed before the “soldiers,” which —78— denotes high ideals, they never could stand up in battle. In the present world struggle in which the U. S. is now engaged, we hold to the ideals represented in history, and to the promise of the Stars and Stripes—the ideals of life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness for all mankind. We realize the fact that many must fall in the achievement of those ideals but a noble good will endure as a monument to their sacrifice. History can bestow upon no man, no higher title than that of Defenders of the Flag. “The Stars and Stripes forever!” SERVICE. (Ry Prof. Albert Montgomery). The world needs men and women, who are willing to devote their lives to the service of humanity. There has never been a time in the history of ihe human race when unselfish noble men were in such demand as they are to-day. Society perfects its organizations for the perpetuation of the best and noblest activities of its lite as expressed in the actions of its individuals. Schools, churches, societies, and other institutions of man are perfected and maintained in order that society may continue its coherence through the preparation of its members to render efficient service in the advancement of those things that tend toward the elevation and refinement of the race. 'Ihe advantage and protection that the commonwealth offers to its people impose an obligation upon its members. The more society offers to the inuiviaual the gi eater the indebtedness of the individual to the state. High school pupils should realize their obligations to the state. If any pupil completes his high school course without acquiring any desire to serve and assist his neibhbor, he has misled the .best part that any school should offer to its pupils. Education is not power unqualified, but power regulated and directed toward righteous ends. The work of education is fatally defective which gives faculties power without the power of right direction; strength of life without right tendency of life. The man who is untruthful or dishonest, of mean prejudice or revengeful temper, though versed in science and arts, is not educated. “The uncharitable, though he speaks with the tongues of men and of angels, though he have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, lacks one element of the rounded fullness of character which is the aim of education.” The boy who goes through high school and fails to learn professional courtesy will be a detriment to his fellow man. Any educational process that does not eradicate all willingness on the part of the individual to take advantage of cliques and combinations, detrimental to another, is pernicious. Though man walk up and down the dusty highways of knowledge, yet if he does not experience that desire to be of service to his fellow, he has failed in his conception of his duties. Service in behalf of humanity is the noblest incentive that can influence the activities of the individual. The greatest and noblest of the race have given their all in serving their neighbors. The world loves and reveres Florence Nightingale, Mother Bickerdyke, Clara Barton, Peter Cooper, and hosts of other men and women for their efforts on behalf of their fellows. Tne Great Teacher, “The Man of Gallilee” paid the last full measure of his devotion to humanity. Let each and every one of us so conduct our lives that we may be able to answer the beautiful sentiment in the following poem affirmatively: “When I am dead, if men can say, “He helped the world upon its way; With all his faults of word and deed Mankind did have some little need Of what he gave”—then in my grave No greater honor shall I crave. —79— If they can say—if but they can— “He did his best; he played the man His way was straight; his soul was clean; His failings not unkind, nor mean; He loved his fellow men and tried To help them”—I’ll be satisfied. But when I’m gone, if even one Can weep because my life is done. And feeil the world is something bare Because I am no longer ehere; Call me a knave, my life mispent— No matter. I shall be content.” THE AMERICAN REI) CROSS. (By Sara Sbarske, ’19). The first Red Cross work was started in the Crimean War in Russia, by Miss Florence Nightingale, about 1854. This war was between France, England, Turkey and Russia. The battle was a terrible one; the wounded were not taken care of, homeless not thought of and all in all, things were in a sad state of affairs. It was at this time that the young English girl, Florence Nightingale became important. She had been visiting a hospital and seeing the condition of the sick and wounded, and the care they received, was so touched that she immediately enlisted her services with several girls in her charge and began preparation for helping. This was done much against the wishes of her parents and social friends but nevertheless, she left home to take up her duties. Miss Nightingale’s first work was done at Scutori, a country in Russia, where thousands of wounded were lying in filth and disease without supplies and little food. She at once went to Scutori with her corps of nurses and in a short time had made such a decided change in the state of affairs that she became famous for her work at once. As soon as this idea was well started, it was taken up by several other prominent Europeans for their countries. Among the first to respond was a young Swiss, Henri Dunant, who wrote and published a book on the horrors of the battlefield of “Sol-ferino.” It was also this young man who thought of and carried out the plan that “what one person could do well alone, could be done considerably better by a large organization.” It was also proposed to work in time of peace for war times to come. These various plans were carried out fully. After the aforementioned ideas were well fixed, a council of fourteen nations was called in Switzerland. At this council a treaty was brought up forming a society to care for sick and wounded, etc. The Red Cross received its name and emblem from the Swiss. —80— Their flag is a red field in which is a white cross. By a provision in the treaty it was changed and the emblem of the Red Cross was a white field with a red cross. It was also agreed upon that one nation should not in any way harm or fire upon anything belonging to the Red Cross organization of another country; that Rea Cross nurses should serve all countries alike. The watch words chosen were “Humanity” and “Neutrality.” All this work, we know, was going on in Europe. Now about this time the Civil War broke out in America. Prior to this, America knew nothing of Red Cross work. The sick and wounded of the Civil War were taken care of by an organization known as “The Sanitary Commission.” The Red Cross work was now heard of and begun in this Country by several prominent people. Among the first were Dorthea Uix, a prison reformer; Mother Bickerdyke, a worker in the Civil War; and Clara Barton of the Civil War. Much money was realized and supplies were shipped constantly North and South. The work of the American Red Cross has not only been famous in war times. It has been of much service with the countries at peace. Several instances at which the R. C. displayed great power were the Michigan forest fire, the Mississippi Hood, the Johnstown flood, the San Francisco earthquake, and the Ohio flood. At each of these events the R. C. nurses and surgeons played active parts and did much towards relieving the wounded and homeless. The work was well rewarded and appreciated. The Red Cross has been and is being taken up to a greater extent in the present war than ever in its history. Money has been given freely for this noble cause and with that money the R. C. chapters have accomplished a great deal by launching campaigns and by various other means while Societies have been organized thruout the nation. At the front, hospital companies have been formed together with the base hospitals. These base hospitals are in back of the trenches and have bed spaces for five hundred men. Trained nurses and doctors are always at work here and the base hospitals are becoming quite famous at the front. There are about two thousand American Red Cross nurses at the front now and more than four times that many are ready to go when called. The American R. C. has at the same time been sending supplies to France, England, Belgium and many more of the allied nations. Now we come to the question, “How can I help the Red Cross?” There are many, many ways in which you can help the R. C. Think of our own fathers, brothers, sons and other relatives fighting in France for us and then try to figure out how you are going to help the poor wives and mothers and orphaned children over there who have no more parents and relatives to fall back on. The best advice that can be given now is to make a war garden, join some Red Cross Chapter, get a good education, help the Liberty Loan drives, impress the importance of Red Cross work on all minds and above all, try to do not only your bit, but do your best. —81— THE TREND TOWARD DEMOCRACY. (By Egidio Blasoti, ’19). It was democracy, one of the strongest forces that guides a nation in its progress of civilization, that Cromwell strove so hard and zealously to promote among a people harassed and worn out by the tyranical rule of despots; it was democracy for which the people of the Thirteen Original Colonies, tired of a despotic rule imposed upon them by George III, saw right to shed their blood on the fields of battle and again it was democracy for which the French fought so valiantly during the terrible years of the French Revolution; and now in this hour of peril, it is for democracy that all nations have joined hands in order to save the civilized world from bondage and slavery and to destroy forever the miserable rule of German autocracy. Democracy in its broadest meaning is a social principle which rests upon the doctrine of the essential equality of all men and of their equal worthiness. A government which is democratic or popular in its form is a republic, or a government in which the administration of the affairs of the state is committed to the people to be exercised by them either directly in popular assemblies like those of the Athenian Democracy or indirectly through representatives chosen by them, as in the republic of the modern day. The different forms of domestic government are being rapidly adopted by nations which previously have been rational and held under the yoke of despotism for centuries. These forms of governments are aiding nations to rise up from an age of darkness and ignorance into the light of the present day civilization. France, England, United States, and other countries that own a government ruled by the people, have found that not only does a democratic government promote the culture and refinement of a people, but also greatly increases the wealth and resources of the nation. The movement toward the progress of democracy was first set in motion by the primitive man, many centuries ago, when he first saw the benefit derived by banding together his neighbors and kinsmen into tribes for strength and protection. Although at that time it was in its most simple and crude form, still as years passed on, new people and new ideas helped to mold and polish it until today it is the birthmark of every freedom loving nation. Before the beginning of the nineteenth century every country in Europe with the exception of Russia and Turkey had adopted a constitutional government limiting the power of the crown and vesting a considerable amount of the political affairs into the hands of the people. But in no country has this attained so high degree of efficiency and success as in the United States, England and France. Even in England the democratic spirit has been somewhat delayed owing to the persistency of the aristocratic tradition which still preserves a number of legal rights based on birth and inheritance. And so as the principle based upon democracy is the chief source upon which the future of all nations depends, it is hoped that after the dust of battle rises from the war-torn plains of France, democracy will emerge a victor with a greater force than ever before, as it will have destroyed German Aut-tocracy and Militarism, its chief foe.

Thirty-one stars in our Service Flag In it’s honored place on the wall, Thirty-one boys, from “German High,” Have answered their Country’s call. None so bad and none so good Even as you and I, And they have stood Ready to do or to die. Thirty-one stars in our Service Flag Are placed where all may see, Thirty-one boys from “German High,” Are fighting to make men free. And through the struggle be long and severe We know they will stand the test Going forth bravely without thought of fear Each willing to do his best. Then here’s to the stars in our Service Flag, And the boys, for which they stand, Doing their best to win the cause For Freedom on the sea and land. And we trust when this awful struggle is done And the world is freed from strife Our thirty-one will enjoy, everyone, A long and happy life. —94— —Harry DePriest, ’20. Prof. Sheetz—“Dear, dear, David, surely you had more sense than to go looking for an escape of gas with a match?” David—“Sure, your honor, ’twas a safety match.” Prof. Montgomery—“Hush! Listen! I hear the gentle rapping of your wife.” Prof. Rudisill—“Gentle rapping? That’s not my wife.” Miss Hoover—“What’s a grape fruit Ethel?” Ethel—“Don’t you know? It’s a lemon flavored with quinine.' Edwin—“Shall I mark time with my feet, sir?” Prof. Riffle (sarcastically)—“My dear boy, did you ever hear of marking time with the hands?” Edwin—“Yes sir; clocks do it.” Miss Boger asked her pupils to use the following words in sentences: Attired, aneline, canopies, and cellar. These astounding sentences were written by Howard Beal: “I fish with a hook aniline —“I am attired I don’t know what to do“—“She asked for a canopies, but he wouldn’t cellar any.” Mrs. Jones—“Why did you take Elenora away from school?” Cook—“Cause de teacher ’aint satisfactory tu me, Mrs. Jones, she done tell dat chile dat IV spells four when yut ’ud know that it spells ivy.” Ed. Vail—“Prof., have gooseberries got legs?” Prof. Saeta—“Of course not, Edward.” Edward—“Then I’ve swallowed a caterpillar.” Teacher—“Edna, how do you think they will pay for this terrible war?” Edna V.—“Well they’ll either have to hock de Keiser, or sell the watch on the Rhine.” Different Ways. Freshman—“Huh ?” Sophomore—“What ?” Junior—“I didn’t hear the question.” Senior—“I did not quite comprehend the interrogation.” —95— Energetic Freshman—“In what course will you graduate?” Lazy Sophomore—“In the course of time.”—Ex. Miss Rush—“Name three kinds of nuts.” Bob K.—“Doughnuts, peanuts, and forgetmenuts.” “THIS WAY OUT.” I’d rather be a Could Be, If I couldn’t be an Are, For a Could Be is a May Be, With a chance of touching par. I’d rather be a Has Been Than a Might Have Been, by far; For a Might Have Been has never been, But a Has was once an Are. The Laureola is a great invention, The school gets all the fame, The printer gets all the money, And the Staff gets all the blame. Senior—“Do you like fishballs?” Freshie—“I never attended one.1 Junior—“They say this new Physics book will do half your work.” Soph.—“I think I’ll get two of them next year.” Miss Hartley (in history)—“Now Robert draw the Plymouth Rock.” Robert Me. (who wasn’t listening)—“A rooster or a hen?” The English teacher told each pupil to write a brief account of a basketball game. One boy sat thru the period seemingly wrapt in thought, while the others worked hard, and finally handed in their narratives. After school the teacher approached the desk of the laggard. “I’ll give you five minutes to write that description,” he said sternly; “If it is not finished then, I shall punish you.” The boy concentrated his attention upon the table, and, at last with joyful eagerness, wrote: “Rain—no game.” —96— COURSE OF STUDY. —Of the— GERMAN TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL.
