HIGH SCHOOL SONG The school we love the best, is German Township High, And far above the rest, her flag shall always fly. We’ll guard her emblem well, that none shall float ahead Of Alma Mater’s banner fair, the Black and Red. (Harmony—Loud) Oh! Black and Red we love thy fair, fair folds; A treasure that each son and daughter sacred holds, Then proudly wave as years go fleeting by The emblem of our dear old German Township High. (U nison-Maestoso) Hail to the Alma Mater that we love, 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, Oh ! 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. Sheetz. 11----- J. B. SHEETZ, A. B..

SENIOR HISTORY (Elizabeth O’Lenick) In the fall of 1916, fifty-two vigorous ambitious boys and girls entered the halls of German Township High School. We were all rather “green” but the green soon faded away. During our Freshman year the class grew smaller and smaller, but the remainder struggled bravely on. With the help of our teachers we soon received the name of Sophomores. During that year the boys and girls from our class took part in the High School play. On March 22, 1918, we held a reception in honor of the Freshman class. It was very successful and everybody was pleased. In April, 1918, our class was saddened by the death of one of its most beloved members, Lowry Newcomer. Thus the Sophomore year was ended. On September 2, 1918, we assembled again, this time as Juniors. Though there were only fourteen, we were still trying to climb higher. School went along very well for six weeks, then the epidemic of Spanish Influenza broke out and we had no school for nearly three months. On January 6. 1919, we started to school again trying to do the best we could to complete our work during the short time left. This year we assembled as Seniors. Our work is finished. What the future of this class will be, we cannot tell but we know that it will always be loyal to G. T. H. S. 25 JUNIOR CLASS MOTTO—Um quam altior COLORS—Dark Blue and White FLOWER—Pink Carnation.

JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY On Sept. 3, 1917, a dreary rainy Monday morning, after many mishaps and accidents! fifty three muddy little Freshies with very bright faces arrived at G. T. H. S. eager to begin their high school career. With much trouble we found our way into our respective rooms. After several days we became acquainted and felt more at home. The principle event of the year was the reception given us by the Sophomore Class and at which we received by the upper classmen. So after much struggling with Latin, Algebra and other various studies our “Freshman” year finally came to an end and we were happy to think that when we returned to G. T. H. S. we would no longer be Freshies but would continue our education as Sophomores. With our heart full of joy from the memories of our summer vacation we once more took up our duties at G. T. H. S. When we have attended school for nearly six weeks the terrible epidemic of Spanish Influenza broke out and we had no more school for over two months. After returning as Sophomores gave a reception to the Freshmen. It required much studying and hard work to complete the work of the Sophomore year in the time allotted us. And the memories of this year are saddened by the death of two of our class mates. This year, on Sept. 2, 1919, we once more resumed our studies as Juniors. We have beeen very industrious and have met with a generous measure of success and although we have lost many members of our class since our Freshman year we hope that all the members of our present class will meet again next year as Seniors always striving to follow our motto “Um Quam Altior.” JUNIOR CLASS SONG. Our class we love so well, Of thee we’ll ever tell In tale and song; We love thy Blue and White We love thy spirit bright We love thy aim for right; Let it prolong. Old Nineteen Twenty-One, Let good for thee be done By all thine own! We give our hearts and minds We give that pledge that binds, We give that hand that twines, To thee alone. Long may thy banner wave, O’er sons and daughters brave, Old Twenty-One! Oh may thy motto shine Beside the victor’s shrine, Behold thy battle line! Twenty-two! 22! 22! —MARY V. HAGUE, ’21. ------3!

Of course we were all green, we do not deny, but not so green as the rest of the school seemed to think. All went well during the first six weeks of school, then the Spanish Influenza broke out, causing us to miss almost two months. When school reopened, nearly everyone came back with a determination to do hard work, for we had to accomplish the work of nine months in seven. The Sophomores gave us a reception on February 14th, which we all appreciated very much. September, 1919, when we started back to school, after a long vacation, we gave the name of Freshman to the class that had just entered, and now we go by the name of Sophomores. This year when the school took up basketball and other athletics, we found that our class countained a few very good players. These players have done their best in helping to make the basketball team a success. February 29th our class gave the Freshman a reception. Thus the term goes on and now we are looking forward to the time when we will assume the name of Juniors. —NANCY RIST. SOPHOMORE PROPHECIES. Name Future.

It was on that day that we came up from the Grammar School to enroll at G. T. H. S. With palpitating heart and unsteady step we entered the doors of the building. The way those upperclassmen did stare at us made us feel like sinking through the floor. The bell rang and we finally managed to find our seats. We got our books and in a short time there was a room of busy Freshmen. The first day of High School was soon over and not one of us would say we didn’t like it very much. We were all very excited about our mid-year exams and were glad when they were over. Most of us passed and were proud of our marks but we are sorry to say a few failed. They began again after the exams and worked hard until they are as far along as the rest of the class. The Sophomores tendered us a reception on the evening of February 27, at which we had a very nice time and we wish to thank them very much. W'e chose as our motto “Scientia nostra crescat”, meaning “May our knowledge ever increase.” We also selected Dark Blue and Gold as our colors to which we have been very loyal. The time has now come when we must part for a few months vacation but we hope to meet again next fall. We now as a class bid our gentle readers an affectionate farewell and the Seniors have our best wishes for their success in future life. —RUTH MILLER ,23 CLASS of ’23 ’Twas in the year of 1919 On a cool September morn, That we came to G. T. H. S. With great hopes newly born. We all seemed somewhat timid And wandered strangely about, Trying to decide which teachers We would like without a doubt. We thought at first the time might drag, But Oh, how it did fly! With classes, books and tennis, When the court was nice and dry. Soon we left for our vacation With fond memories in our hearts, And forgot examinations, Which played so great a part. Soon came the time for exam, Dear Me! how we were scared; For in Latin you can’t cram, Though we studied all we dared. To the reception we were invited Given by the Sophomore Class; There were none in school slighted, But ’twas for every lad and lass. In spring it was too pretty, To stay in school all day; But to our studies we were faithful, Never skirked our work for play. And when the end drew near Our hearts were filled with sadness Till thoughts of another year Filled our weary hearts with gladness.

We want to learn to keep our cash And not old Caesar’s stuff rehash. We write our shorthand notes so fast It makes the dollars think they’re gassed. We like to grab em with a hook That we just borrowed from a book; And say, it helps to beat the band, To rake the shekels to your hand.

France today fills a place in the heart and mind of America that is unique. Never before has there been such close sympathy, such union of interests between these two great republics. This new feeling we now have for France is reflected in the great number of American pupils who are studying the French language. Since we entered the World War, the study of the French language in our schools has leaped into extraordinary popularity. Teachers of French, realizing this newly awakened and broader interest in France and French language, are seeking a better method of teaching the language to the American youth. They are also attempting to select texts that shall recreate for the pupil a characteristic French atmosphere. With this idea in mind there has been a veritable revolution in the teaching of the French language, and other modern languages as well- The Scholastic Method of teach- ing has fallen into disfavor. By this method, the first year was largely devoted to the study of grammar, rather than of the language itself. This method has proved inadequate. Teachers now feel that the French language must be taught as a living language. Thus we readily see that there is a strong tendency today to teach the French language from a changed viewpoint. German Township High School along with many other schools has changed her viewpoint and has for the past year used the Semi-Direct Method in preference to the Scholastic Method. We believe the Direct Method is far superior to the Scholastic Method for many reasons; First, it immediately places the pupil in the atmosphere of the French language, and he will therefore, give better attention, become more interested and consequently progress more rapidly. Second, by this method, the pupil cultivates the habit of concentration. He must train the ear, the eye and the tongue. Unless the pupil is made to think, to hear and speak the language, he cannot appreciate it fully or get from it what it has to give him, because speaking and hearing are the means by which the “Direct Method” accomplishes its aims. Pupils do not then look upon French as a language of disconnected words. Emphasis is placed on the spoken language, which develops self-expression and improve pronunciation. If a straight line is the shortest distance between two points, why isn’t the “Direct Method” the shortest course to be used in acquiring knowledge in a new language ? You go directly to the point of study, and begin its mastery at once, thus, losing no time in reaching the point. We believe that the interest of the American youth in the French language will continue to increase, because of the great number of books that are being published at the present time in the French language, dealing with events connected with the recent war. Many of these books teach sublime lessons of national service and of loyal devotion that are both timely and inspiring to the American youth. “There is no nation to whom the world owes as much as she does to France. Her name stands foremost in the World's greatest book of deeds most nobly done for liberty and humanity, of lives most nobly lived, of deaths most nobly died. The noblest thoughts were thought in France, the noblest words spoken there.” Martha L. Hartley. ----56 Pres- Frank I). Moser Sec. Mary V. Hague LATIN DEPARTMENT. (R. R McCombs) This article shall be Ciceronian in style, more especially after the manner of “De Imperio Pompei” and probably best appreciated by the members of the Latin section of the Junior class, Ciceronian in that it has an outline. As to the matter of an introduction, the Classical course provides four years’ work in Latin, namely, Beginner’s Latin, Caesar, Cicero, and Vergil, in the order named. It shall not be the aim in this article to induce all first year students to take the Classical or Latin course but rather to call attention to a few fundamental truths. First of all some beginners avoid the Classical course because Latin is one of the requirements, this perhaps is due to that prevalent but erroneous idea that Latin is a dead language and its study of little or no value, yet we find our most prominent educators making the statement that Latin is a living language in that it furnishes a source from which approximately sixty per cent of our English speaking vocabulary is derived. Classical Latin most certainly is obsolete as to prac- tical usage and form but surely not the basic stems. The freshman class has generally been about evenly divided but this year’s class proved the exception, and we have two sections taking first year Latin and one taking the Scientific course. In the first year’s course special emphasis has been placed on the practical use of Latin, in word analysis and in word derivation from the Latin stems, sight translation developed the fact however that too much confidence must not be placed in the similarity of the sounds of words, for example the Latin word Per does not mean Pear as the sound would seem to indicate. Most Freshmen will remember this incident. Just a word with reference to our Caesar class, they have a wonderful record and its members have been class leaders many times this year, syntax has been the chief aim but considerable attention and reference has been given to comparative military science, Ancient and modern. The Junior class has read five of the orations of Cicero and they enjoyed Latin prose during the first semester once per week. More time is allotted to prose in the third year than in the second year for a twofold purpose, first to afford a complete review of the syntax and the better to become acquainted with the style of Cicero. Cicero’s political orations offer concrete evidence of Roman legal practices and of the Roman Law which form a part of the foundation of our modern law. The study of Latin becomes more important from year to year and its study in this modern age grows more practical, Latin is the back ground for a complete understanding of the English and is best studied in the early period of school life, in fact it has been introduced into many Junior High Schools and with great success here more time can be given to its study and the drills are more easily mastered. In summing up Latin has its chief value in that it affords mental drill and discipline, strengthens the vocabulary, inculcates a knowledge of the basic principles of syntax which is the foundation stone of all language and at the same time permits a study of the subject matter of the Classic age and a fuller and more comprehensive understanding of Ancient civilization. DOMESTIC SCIENCE (Ada B Pfiel) Under Domestic Science is included such subjects as cookery, food chemistry, household management, laundry and related subjects. Because of lack of time only cookery and a very little food chemistry are taught in this High School. The cookery of today has changed radically from what is was only a few years ago. We may use some of the same methods but a great many things must change because of the new equipment on the market. Also there are a great many things to be learned in cooking more economically. Because of the high prices we must learn when we are getting the greatest amount of food value for the money spent. Food serves a threefold purpose to the body, namely, tissue building, heat and energy giving, and body regulators. Tissue building foods as eggs, meat, and the like are always high priced so that we must know when we have the proper proportion of it in order that too much money will not be spent on the higher priced foods. The majority of girls at some time in their life go into homes of their own. What more noble aim can a school have than to make efficient homemakers of its girls? Cookery plays a large part in the business of homemaking and a very little help no matter how meagre often helps to relieve the complex problems. The aim of the school is to make the work as practical as possible. Conditions in a school can never be exactly like in a home. In order to have the pupil get the most out of the work the hearty cooperation of the parents is necessary. A little home practice always make the girl do better work in the classroom. If a student worked Latin only when she was in the classroom, she probably would not get much. She must do both home and school work in order to accomplish very much. So it is with cookery, school work plus home work gives the best results- There has been some splendid cooperation on the pari; of parents regarding this home work and we thank them heartily for it. This article began by telling what Domestic Science in- eluded in our modern schools but here is what one great writer says about cookery. “Cookery means the knowledge of Medea and of Circe and of Helen and of the Queen of Sheba. It means the knowledge of all herbs and fruits and balms and spices and all that is healing and sweet in the fields and graves and savory in meats. It means carefulness, and inventiveness, and willingness, and readiness of appliances. It means the economy of our grandmothers and the sicence of the modern chemist, it means much testing and no wasting; it means English thoroughness and French art and Arabian hospitality ; and in fine, it means that you are to be perfectly and always ladies.—loaf givers.—” Ruskin. SEWING Sewing was introduced into the curriculum of the public schools many years ago. It was felt that girls needed to know how to sew, and as they failed to learn at home, the public schools provided this instruction. Complete education includes training in action, as well as in thought. The modern curriculum gives the opportunity to use the hand, will and mind together. Learnng to sew is a difficult task, as the manner of using the tools is hard to master. Setting a girl to make articles suited to her capacity and considered by her as worth doing is the only means of holding her interest until the difficulty of handling the tools is overcome. Sewing will add to the mental and moral strength girl. There is continual opportunity for connecting a course of sewing with the every-day life of the girls at home, at school, or in society, and gradually interesting them in the bettering of industrial conditions and in the standardization of style and material. Art education functions a very important part in a sewing course. The divorce of art from handwork is responsible for much of our bad taste, and, as a result, the furnishings of our homes are frequently vulgar; our clothing is commonplace, over-decorated or tawdry, and our shops are filled with poorly constructed articles. The product of many of our in- dustries is influenced entirely by the demands of women. When the homemakers shall be trained in the ideals of beauty that art becomes a part of their daily life, it will not be long before the effect wll be seen through-out the na-ton. It is necessary for our country’s success that, the taste and the knowledge of practical buying should be improved. The study of textiles has been accorded a place in the household arts course on account of its educational, as well as its practical value. Textile industries are especially influenced by women, and their knowledge or ignorance as consumers are controlling factors in the nation’s industrial development. The call of the government during the war crisis for clothing conservation and the present high prices for inferior material have lead to the movement for standardized textiles-goods that will be sold with a guarantee, will always be found on the market and will give service that will repay the cost. Never before was it so impressed upon the minds of the women to taste the moral and economic reward that comes from making over a cast off garment. In the sewing department of our Household Arts Course the girls have made, up to this time, ninety bloomers, ninety middies, sixty cooking uniforms, thirty work aprons, drafting the pattern for this apron, and much of the construction work belonging to the course. There will be made from this to the close of the term, kimono night gowns, corset waists, shirt waists and blouses. The youngest girls of our school, making the same kind of a garment, as made by the upper classes, have a finished product, in many instances, almost equal to that of the workmanship of the advanced classes. Such a result indicates that the girls are not given a chance soon enough to learn to sew. A large number of the girls do not enter high school and many leave the grade schools the moment the compulsory school years are over. The result is that most of these girls drift for a few years and then marry and begin homes of their own, but, even there, they are unprepared to be economic factors. MINNIE HOOVER PHYSICAL EDUCATION IN OUR SCHOOLS Physicial education has been defined as, “the training of the bodily organs and powers with a view to promoton of health and vigor.” The old school program gave no consideration to this phase of education. It was thought that the walk to and from school, the performance of home duties, and the recreation during recess periods gave all necessary physical exercise. The relationship between the development of the intellectual and moral powers, which comes to the child largely through play, was either neglected or not thoroughly understood. The “whole child” goes to school, and if the school does its duty by the child and by society, it must aim to reach all sides of child life, making ample provision for its normal physical development. To sit for a day in a class room observing indications of physical and mental strain, is to be convinced, beyond question, that such school-room work and conditions produce a tremendous nervous strain. One is impressed by the unnecessary handling of books and pencils; the bad postures in which the chest is narrowed and depressed, the back and shoulders rounded, and the lungs, heart, and digestive organs crowded upon one another in a way that impedes proper action. This nervous strain for both teacher and pupil, the need for vigorous stimulation of respiration and circulation; for an outlet for repressed social and emotional nature; for correction of posture; and for a change from abstract interest are all largely indicated. Nothing can correct these demands but games and physical drills. The typical school recess is a sad apology for the refreshment of mind and body. The first theory of physical educaton is re-creative, affording a change and rest from more serious activities. It gives the individual an opportunity to recover his flagging energy; to revive the exhausted nerve cells; to recharge the emptied brain batteries; and to bring his power of acquiring knowledge back to normal conditions. The great mass of games used in physical education originated in the childhood of different races as serious religious or divinity rites. Viewed in this light of their origin, 12------- games are especially fascinating. Folklore study throws a flood of light upon the heritage of games that passes from child to child, giving added dignity and worth to play. A child deprived of this heritage has lost a pleasure that is its natural right. Therefore, physical education contributes to the health, physical development, and pleasure of the individual. It has a positive educational influence visible to those who have observed the effects. Children who are dull and slow; who react slowly to external stimuli; who observe but little of what goes on around them; who are, in short, slow to see, to hear, to observe, to think, and to do, may be completely transformed by this phase of education. Many children, either because of lonely conditions at home or through some personal pecularity, do not possess the power to cooperate with others readily and pleasantly. Through games and drills, the timid child learns to take his place with others; the bold child learns that he may not monopolize opportunities; the unappreciated child gains self respect and the respect of others; team work and cooperation are developed; character is built; judgment and will power are promoted; respect for law is taught; and the individual is taught to accept victory and defeat. Physical education tends to lessen juvenile crime and juvenile accidents, and helps to Americanize the children of the foreigner. It is very clear that this form of education is fundamental because the issues of life are dependent upon it. The system of education that does not make proper provision for supervised play and physical education is neither modern nor efficient. 64 SCIENCE SCIENCE IN THE HIGH SCHOOL German Township has repeatedly been congratulated on its splendid Laboratories and tecture room. Dr. Perisho said they are the best he has seen in any Township High School. To keep them so we must each year supply them with chemicals and materials with which to work. At present these things are high in price. Now comes the question. Does it pay? All Freshman boys are given a year of elementary science. It is taught by Prof. A. C. Le Due and has proved very popular. It is in this class where Freshmen are probably first required to do some real logical thinking. The Sophomores take zoology and botany. Plants and animals are things in which every pupil is interested. Whenever a grown person is not so interested it is a positive proof that the natural instincts of childhood either have been turned aside, or stifled by lack of opportunity to live and grow. A hunt for the life history of a plant or animal is an important step in real education. -----65---- Physics is taught in the third year. To the pupil of High School age it usually is considered uninteresting or perhaps intricate beyond his capacity. But not so in German Township. Ask De Priest, Blasotti, Thompson or Hoover. You just couldn’t get them to miss one of those laboratory periods. The girls too work with an accuracy unsurpassed by many college students. Every experiment must becarefully performed; it must have a purpose; it must reveal something: measurements must be accurate; results must be positive, and they are. Are we boasting? Satisfy yourself, come and visit us at work, examine our note books, compare them with the best. Chemistry is gven in the fourth year. The laboratory periods are double and average about three per week. Some very careful analysis have been made by this year’s seniors. Associated with the laboratories are the kindred activities as Wireless, Moving Pictures, Photography, Blue Printing, Testing soils, Fabrics, Foods, etc. Interesting books of reference are to be found on the laboratory book shelf and science Magazines are on the rack. The Radio Clubcontributed “The Wireless Age” and “Radio Amateur News” while the Electrical Experimenter, Popular Science, Coal Age, Chemist Analyst etc. were contributed by Prof. Sheetz. The science bulletin board in the lecture room has been found to be quite a valuable help to arouse interest. It is always supplied with copious interesting science bulletins. No pupil of German Township High School could be among such surroundings for any length of time without having a profounder contemplation of the laws of Nature, deeper knowledge of what is happening in the Universe, and a more eager desire to learn. Radio Engineer Richard Thompson “Thinks it is Venus talking.” President G. T. H. S. Radio Club Harry DePriest “Believes it is Mars.” G. T. H. S. RADIO CLUB The G. T. H. S. Radio Club is composed of high school students who are interested in radio work. It was formed in the early part of the school term, when the School board purchased a fine wireless receiving set. The officers of the club are: President ....................................Harry DePriest Vice President........................................Robert Kendall Secretary ............................................Thomas Hoover Treasurer .............................. .... Mario Blasotti The radio work connected with this club has not only proved interesting but has given a very clear knowledge of alternating and high frequency currents to the club members. Radio work is something in which interest can never be lost by one who starts it properly. As a hobby there is nothing better because, while it is very interesting it also produces a never-ending means of support. Therefore I believe that time spent while working in the Radio Club is far from lost. Thomas Hoover, 21, Pres. Edythe West, ’20, Sec. COLORS—Sunlight and Clear Sky. MOTTO—Every Click a picture. German Township High School Camera Club was organized for the purpose of incorporating the knowledge of the laws of Physics with the actual taking of good photographs, and also for acquiring the ability to use the knowledge of Chemistry in developing, fixing and toning, so that as a result of having studied these sieences the students may be able to produce better amateur work. Since the lower classes have not yet pursued these studies only Seniors and Juniors are eligible to membership. After the members of the Club had acquired the ability to take good pictures with an ordinary camera special features were introduced. The portrait lense, copying lense, telephoto lense, wide angle lense, duplicator and the ray filter were studied, their advantages noted and a fair test made with each. Blue prints and some good Sepia tones were made by several pupils who were especially interested in that line of work. The dark room was fitted for enlarging, and several good enlargements were made during the year, however the process was mostly illustrative, being im- practical without larger apparatus tor finishing. Photography is a fascinating art when one is able to get the results whch his particular camera will accomplish, but to have a high priced instrument, use high priced supplies and get poor pictures is not only discouraging but it also makes the amateur’s pursuit an expensive one. It is for this reason we have chosen the splendid motto “Every click a picture.’’ Photography has made possible many discoveries of tremendous importance in the realm of astronomy. It has played an important part in the World War. It has made possible the moving picture. It has been perfected to such a high degree that it is now possible to photograph a sound wave, a bullet being fired through a soap bubble, or a bouquet of flowers in their natural colors. When we consider the manifold and wide spread uses of photography and the pleasurable diversion that it affords, it seems safe to say that there is no other form of industry not an actual necessity that is of such importance to the welfare and happiness of the human race. The G. T. H. S. Camera Club ---69--- FUTURE VALUES IN AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION (By Ashley LeDuc, Agriculture Supervisor German Township.) Since the days of the small farm which was a unit and of which farm crops were raised to supply the family, and enough for food for the animals, farm life has seen many changes. Wool was raised which was spun into thread from which garments were made. They had home grown tallow for the candles; wood for the fires; in fact nearly all the simple household requirements were found right on the farm. Things have undergone as great a change in the farming industry as in any other industry—a great evolution has taken place. Where the farm was a unit unto itself before, it is now a part of a larger and more complex economc unit. The farm doesn’t supply all the needs of the farmer and his family. Formerly most of the things raised on the farm were used there, now most of them are sold and other products are purchased. This makes it necessary for the farmer to be a shrewd business man as well as agriculturist. There is competition in farming as in any other line of business. Where previously little business ability was required to carry on a farm; now a great deal is required. This is the case in all live and growing industries. The question comes up as to how a boy can learn about his scientific business called farming. The boy must learn all he can before he gets into business too deeply. The day of the old-fashioned apprentice has gone and industrial and vocational schools have taken its place. Life is too short to learn about a business when school days are over—the time to learn is while the plans for the future are being formulated. A young man to start in farming needs at least two kinds of capital—money and brains. The former can usually be hired but the latter cannot be bought except by hard study or experience. Experience is always a hard teacher so that all the knowledge that can be acquired before school is left is so much the better. Vocational schools and departments in High Schools have been formed for the sole purpose of training boys tc farm. Instruction is given in the class room and then practical demonstrations are carried on by the boy at his own home under his own conditions, so that he learns to farm by dong it at home under supervision of an instructor. In western Pennsylvania and Fayette County in particular there is a wide opening to intelligent, industrious boys for useful and profitable lives on this rich rolling land. Right at the door almost are good markets and good facilities for getting produce to those markets which fact cannot be overlooked when choosing a location for a farm. This section of the state is a great industrial center and it is around such centers that farming is usually the most profitable. All advantages point to a farm life career as one of the best for this section. There is a lot of wealth contained underneath the surface of the soil that is fast being removed; soon the mines shall cease to pour forth their riches and then people will necessarily have to look to the hidden wealth of the first eight to ten inches of the earth—riches that are not taken out and lost as soon as is the coal. There is a golden opportunity awaiting boys of the coming generation to study scientific agriculture. It is not necessary to go to Iowa or California. Western Pennsylvania has equal and better opportunities. % MANUAL TRAINING ANI) MECHANICAL DRAWING (C. Stanley Rothenhausler) Every year the Educational authorities are realizing more clearly the need of introducing into the Public School System, especially the High Schools, a more practical and applicable education. To this end great, progress has been made in the Manual Training and Mechanical Drawing Courses. Education in itself is of little value if it cannot be applied to the every day problems of life. However, there must be some medium to train the student to apply his knowledge and this is one of the greatest aims of Manual Training today- While the immediate benefits derived from it is the sikll in using tools and the acquirement of the principles of elementary joinery, the influence is greater than this as it is the adoption of knowledge of productive to skill. One cannot overestimate the importance of Mechanical Drawing, for all industry is dependant upon it. It is sometimes called the universal language. Such an important subject should be given a wide field in our vocational work. The course should teach the use and care of the instruments and equipment and cover sheets in letters and figures, the geometrical problems, principles of shading, projection and development, elementary isometric, intersection of solids. screw threads and bolt design and elementary machine design. The final work in the course is a sheet of machine design, the tracing and blueprint, which are accepted in lieu of the Senior Thesis. German Township High School has excellent equipment to pursue both courses . There are possibilities for great progress along these lines. MUSIC. (Claudia Chambers) “Music is the only presentative art; all other art is representative.”—Burney. The artist formulates impressions received through the eye and the musician formulates the direct expression of man’s innermost feelings and sensibilities.”—Sir C. Herber Parry. Public school music has this year been established in the schools of German Township as a subject required in the curriculum. This has been done because for a long time has been realized the important and necessary part that music plays in the life of the individual and of the nation. The aim of all education is to fit the individual to meet the various situations confronting him in life, that he may adjust himself to society in the world in which he moves, to meet its need and to uplift it. The value of music in education, as the value of any other branch of education is determined by how nearly it meets the three requirements which the experience of ages and the wisdom of educators consider necessary to justify the presence of a course of study in the curriculum of a school: First, it must meet both the social and the individual needs of mankind. Secondly, it must meet the present needs of the student- Lastly, it must give enrichment to life. Music is an art value and the value it has in the lives of men, is an art value; so that the general aim of music is to give the value it has as purely an art value to the lives of men. Character is defined in terms of mood (or, in other words, feeling is the core of being) rather than in terms of intellect. The effective nature is the essence or soul of man, and anything that makes effective a high range of mood is ennobling and exalting to character. This is the aim of all arts. We must not mistake “mood” for “emotion , it is the broad mood or temperament that is meant instead of spasmodic fits of rapture, anger, or sorrow; it is the innate feeling of the human race that is exemplified in a Beethoven Sonata, rather than the eratic disposition or depression of mind of the composer. The specific aims of. music are those pertaining first to the individual; secondly to society. To meet the needs of the individual, music develops first the physical side of this being, when it appears to his ear. A certain type of music which has a marked rhythm, such as “Stranz Waltz” develops his rhythmic sence, which is innate to a certain extent in every individual and to which rhythm the child reads instinctively. Interpretation of rhythm in action causes definiteness of understanding Developments of lungs, proper breathing, exact posture, should be the result of correct teaching of public school music. Secondly, music develops the emotional side ei the nature of the child or the individual. It gives happiness to him and rests his soul. All types of music involve certain emotion but a type such as “Shumann’s Songs” give first of all exhiliration, and only later satisfaction mentally in performance. Thirdly, music develops the mental side of the individual. In the structure and tone of a Back Fugue or a Beetohven Sonata music gives a strong appeal to the mind, which must listen for outline, form, tone for tone’s sake— structure as a whole and details composing it, and receives satisfaction and enjoyment in finding these. Fourth, the moral nature of the child may be developed by music, providing the child is through the hearing of it motivated to do something. This depends upon the suggestibility of the individual Profound emotion merges to action, elevated mood to ideals and visions. To sum up the value of music to the individual, the child studies music (1) to enjoy it, (2) to enter into the beauty of it, (3) to get a vision enabling him to live on a higher plane. To meet the needs of society music is greatly used. First, the individual aims of physical, emotional, intellectual values when there is a combination of individual in a group makes the group as a whole enriched physically, emotionally, mentally, morally. Secondly, the enrichment of life or appreciation of music by the community at large should enable a large audience to react in a comprehending manner to the good music of a concert program. Thirdly, community singing (as action opposed to reaction), where the people are the performers instead of the audience, is said to be the greatest socializing agency. When a huge group of people of all classes, ages, and creeds sings “The Star Spangled Banner” or ‘ ‘Tenting on the Old Camp Ground,” all individuals are blended into one heart, one mind, one soul, with one purpose—patriotism. The music meets the first requirement needed to justify its presence in the course of study, there can be no doubt, for it has been proven that music meets both the social and the individual need of maniknd. As for the second requirement, that it must meet the present needs of students, it is known that the child is continually surrounded by music on the street, at public gatherings and public performances, in the home, at the church, at school. The need of development of the individual when his rhythmic sense, his emotional nature, his mind, and his ideals and aspirations demand music, is ever present. The child, therefore, must be able to receive music with an understanding, and must be able to choose the good in prefer ence to the bad in order to give himself a suitable environment during life. Perhaps music’s greatest value lies in the enrichment which it gives to life, the third requisite to a good course of study. All art enriches life by putting such beauty and pleasure into it as nothing else can give. Music should be studied for its own sake, and as a consequence, the student, after continual contact with or a sincere study of good music, will receive the sensitive ear of appreciation for the good and of disapproval for the bad. It is the enjoyment of tone and of the perfection of form in good music and the exaltation resulting from a broad mood that enriches life. Therefore, music, satisfying so completely every demand made upon a good course of study, is gradually receiving its rightful place as a required subject in the curriculum of every school. THE LIBRARY. (Mary V. Hague ) Another improvement was added to our school this year in the establishment of a library by Superintendent Rudisill. The work was clone by the manual training corp3 of the Junior Class, under the supervision of Professor Rossier. Many may wonder of what value a library is to a school. It is a well known fact that books are instructive as well as entertaining. Emerson says, “The theory of books is noble; and that when well used are man’s best friend, but when ill used are man’s worst enemy.’’ The books of our library are well selected and from the best authors. They inspire us with nobler ideals; set higher standards for us and give us a broader view of life. In the library are one hundred and fifty volumes of popular fiction, a complete set of Encyclopedia Brittanica, a complete life of Washington, by Irving, many kinds of reference books, and many other books of great value. Several splendid books have been contributed to the library by progressive citizens of this community and by the high school student body. The library work is smoothly carried on by Professor McCombs and his assistant, Miss Hartley. The books are handed out semi monthly and a fine of two cents per day is paid on overdue books. Each student receives only one book at a time so that it is not necessary for him to neglect his school work to read the book. Much credit is due the Junior boys, who labored so diligently in building this library, which shall ever remain as a monument to the class. LITERARY MY BLUE AND GOLD A service star hung in my window, A star of beautiful blue, It stood for my boy so noble, My soldier so loyal and true; The rising sun gleamed upon it And the light of the bright mid-day, In my labors I failed to notice That the blue was fading away. One morning I looked on the flag, Just as the bright sun rose, Its rays touched the faded emblem, Making a star of gold; I thot what a beautiful picture Was the service star there in the sun. When I quickly recalled that a gold star Stood for a fallen one. A pang of anguish o’ertook me, At the thot which a gold star bore; I resolved to hang a new emblem As blue as the one before. Then I heard the sound of the door bell, And hurried to answer the call, ’Twas the postman bearing a message— The news of my brave boy’s fall- I have gathered his dear belongings, Manhood’s treasures, childhood’s toys, Precious are they to my wounded heart, The source of my deepest joys, A gold star, now, I am keeping, And the peace of the comforting thot Lightens my cares and gladdens my days, “Blue fades, but gold fades not.” M. E. MUNDY, ’21. -------7! LITERARY SOCIETIES The value of the Literary Societies in our High School can be readily ascertained by noting the advancement of the pupils in public speaking from the time they enter as Freshmen until they have graduated. Our Literary Societies not only help us to overcome our timidity and backwardness when facing an audience, but they also cultivate a taste for good music, good literature and good speaking. We could not have chosen better men for whom to name our SQcities than Benjamin Franklin and Sidney Lame . Men whose ideals have been so lofty, and who have contributed so much to the world’s literature. Sidney Lanier, who has been called “The Sweet Singer of the South,” and Benjamin Franklin, the practical, self-made man of Philadelphia, have both contributed so much good to the world by their acts, their writings, and their inventions that they deserve and receive our highest loyalty and gratitude. The Literary Societies have made great progress this year. They have already rendered several programs and expect to render more before the end of the year. These societies were organized eleven years ago. Since that time the Lanierian Literary Society has enrolled 287 members, and the Franklin Literary Society 291 members. CLARA B. LEE, ’21. FRANKLIN SONG A song of dear Franklin we will sing kind friends to you, And give our dear G. T. H. S. all praise and honor due, On, the terraced banks of 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 her 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 and 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 Franklin’s teachings true. LANIERIAN SONG From this old school our cheers and songs are ringing out, To help us on and lead to victory; G. T. H. S. has helped us all our honors win, Her praises sing in our society. CHORUS Lanierians are marching onward To the highest goals we lead the way; Our songs we’re singing, our cheers are ringing, We’ve fought our battles day by day, Lanierians are marching onward, Beneath the banner “Red and White,” It will protect us; it will direct us, We’ll sing the victors’ song with might. We stand for truth and “virtue lives beyond the grave,” The motto that we hold best of all, Will lead us on and win for old “Lanierian,” 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 and won, Her victories will stand forevermore. —I. N. Riffle. ----82---- 83 HIGH SCHOOL PLAY j “THE COUNTRY DOCTOR” The German Township High School gave the play, ‘ rl )' • Country Doctor,” as the first play of the season. It playe i to a capacity audience, the evening of January 30, 1920, It was so successful that the performance was repeated Saturday evening, January 31. Our business manager, Mr. McCombs, reported a net profit of three hundred fourteen dollars. Many compliments were received on the splendid character of the play and on the fine acting.

Riffle JUNIOR CLASS PLAY. There was not a slow moment from the time the curtain went up on the performance of Whose Little Bride Are You ? until Simeon Singleton was finally in the clutches of the fair bride of Skowhegan. For good action, smoothness of performance, and genuine thrills, the Junior Class Play could not be beaten by any amateur organization. The story of the play was a little dierent from any yet produced here and because it contained the little human touches that make a story interesting it pleased two lage and appreciative audiences. Every character was well taken and no one seemed to stand out above the other, but everyone came in for his just praise. Harry DePriest as the Doctor and Mario Blasotti as Simeon Singleton, unwilling suitors for the “lady from Skowhegan” kept the audience in laughter. Frank Moser as the mistaken butler had the sympathy of the audience from the very first and played his part extremely well. Harry Riffle as the drunken “cockney nephew” played his part so realistically that some wondered where he got the “strong stuff.” Richard Thompson as the pest of a boy came near taking the honors of the cast and especially when he presented his specialty of “Oh Mother” with a chorous of pretty girls and the assistance of Josephine Meckling. Mary Hague as the pretty maid was great and we really can’t blame Singleton for turning her head. In fact she looked very er,-um,-kissable. Sara Givens took the part of the daughter of the absent minded Doctor Bellows and is to be congratulated on being the only human being in the house. Clara Lee again displayed her dramatic abilities in her characterization of Mrs. MacEckron and won many compliments on her adaptability to various parts on the stage. Josephine Meckling as the little girl was a decided hit and from the very first she and her teddy bear had the audience with them. Clara Kelly as the “little” bride was a “huge” success and certainly made the men step lively. Two specialties were introduced between acts. Richard Thompson and Josephine Meckling with their chorous presented “Oh Mother” and Frank Moser and Sara Roycroft gave a beautiful woodland swing scene. The following chorous girls assisted in the play: Sara Roycroft, Anna Franks, Eva Walek, Ruth Rider, Mary Flen-niken, Maude Stilwell, Margaret McCloy, Helen Yanchus, Thelma Taliaferro.

German Township, has had this year, one of it’s most successful athletic seasons. This is probably due to the conveniences we have here in the school building. Basketball was the most important athletic game at our high school this year. We have had good success in this sport and although we were defeated a few times, we did not lose confidence in the team. We finished the basketball season with a very good lead over our opponents. Piofessor McCombs, as coach of the basketball team, trained a very good squad to represent our school on the llcor. Manager Huston booked games with several schools, that had quite a reputation as first class teams, and our team, captained by “Joe” Baer, proceeded to show them how to play basketball. At the time of publication of this Laureola, a track team is being formed under the surveillance of Prof. Roth-enhausler. We have a great amount of good material in this school and should be able to win over any other school. We now’ have a number of meets scheduled with other schools and Manager Blanc is confident that we shall win all of them. An inter-class track-meet is scheduled for April 16th. The winners in this meet will then practice for the varsity. At the same time, a baseball team is being formed under the management of C. L. Honsaker, one of our foremost players. He expects to have a team that can take care of any high school baseball team in the county. In closing, I know that the future of German Township High School, in athletics, is assured, because of our splendidly equipped gymnasium and athletic field, which is undoubtedly the best in the county. Another reason for our future success is the growing number of pupils in this school and also the good spirit that prevails. I 90 BASKETBALL (By Herman E. Butler) The Athletics of the G. T. H. S. this year were the most successful of any since the history of the school. In our basketball we came out with many laurels, with Kendall and Blanc as forwards. Blackshere at center, and Kelley and Baer at guards. One of the best games of the season was pulled off on the local floor and the local team being defeated by a small margin of three (3) points. The game with Connellsville at Conellsville was lost by a margin of six points and the one on our own was lost by one (1) point. The game with D. T. H S. on their own floor was lost to them by a score of 22-7. And the game on our floor was won by 31-30 in favor of the locals. This game was very hotly contested when in the first ouarter the opposing team led with a score of 10-8. After that the locals led to the end of the game, winning the game by a score of 30-31. In this game Blackshere was the star, caging 7 2 pointers. The game with South Brownsville, played on the local floor, was won by a score of 50-7, the opposing team never scoring a field goal. The next game with N. U. H. S., on our own floor, won by a score of 32-8, while the opposing side scored one field goal. On Dec. 19, 1919, the locals played California on the local floor and defeated them by a score of 28-13. One of the cleanest and best games of the season was played on our own floor when Carmichaels Alumni lost to our team by a score of 26-14. California Normal was very good to our team, they invited them down in time for supper, which they delightfully partook of, then after that supper they visited the various rooms till time for the game. On March 22, 1920, the Bucknell Freshmen clashed with the G. T. H. S. team on the latter’s floor, being handicapped by sickness our team lost to their opponents by a score of 53-13. After the game a reception was held in honor of the team and the players were invited to the dining room for luncheon. They departed for their homes about 11:45. On March 11 the Lyrics of Uniontown met defeat on the G. T. H. S. floor by a score of 35-27. Although some of their players were very small they played a very good game. The following are the games played and points scored by the opponents and our team during the season: Opponents 7 South Brownsville G. T. H. 50 8 North Union High School 32 27 Connellsville 21 13 California Normal 28 19 McClellandtown Alumni 28 25 Connellsville 23 . 'I Uniontown 22 22 Dunbar 7 19 Mt.

Hague) The German Township High School was started in the fall of 1906 to meet the demands for an opportunity to acquire a secondary education. Since that time ten classes have been graduated and 197 boys and girls have received diplomas showing that they have taken advantage of the excellent facilities furnished them for enlarging their sphere of usefulness. Of this number of graduates forty-four have entered colleges and universities on the certificates of credit which they have received, and twenty-seven have entered normal schools. This is a very high percentage to take up higher work and a fact of which we can justly feel proud. In addition to those completing the courses, numbers of others who had only the means and opportunity of taking a part of the work have been placed in better positions and are becoming useful citizens. Eightv-three pupils have taken up teaching as their profession and their work speaks for itself. From a very humble beginning we have arrived at the place where we can boast of having wireless clubs, camera clubs, war gardens, cadet organization, shops for manual training and mechanical drawing, athletics in all its phases, dramatic organization, musical clubs, domestic science and household arts, commercial clubs, employment bureau, and a school annual which we are proud of. This year the commercial division brought out the Microscope, a newsy paper showing the various school and township activities Has the high school paid? Does education pay? Some people actually try to figure the results of high school training in dollars and cents and think they arrive at the final result. Any man who thinks he can figure the value of our high school in money values has a long way to go yet. What would your community be worth if we took out the schools and churches? Absolutely nothing. What a glorious promise the future holds for tnia community when the present gen eration of boys and girls who are now ip high school become the • eaders of this township? Then, and only then, will we see some of the real benefits of having our own high school. ----102 R E. RUDISILL, Supt. of Schools. CONCERNING TOWNSHIP SCHOOLS Brief History of Balsinger School It was a very pretty fall morning September the eight, that we all assembled at the Balsinger School to take up our school work for the coming year. We numbered seventy bright and happy boys and girls. There has been quite a number that have moved and as our school was crowded the Superintendent thought best to send several to Footedale School. We have five pupils in Seventh Grade, and are preparing to enter High School next year We fear this is quite a hard task before us. We have been working several weeks for a picture of ---103-- our First President, George Washington which we won a few weeks ago. There has been quite a lot of influenza and whooping-cough in our school. A few weeks ago one of our little school mates, Meloure Scott was called by the Great Teacher. Now the fine sunshiny weather is coming. Then we can play games and have happy times together. We are preparing to take a little hike through the woods which will teach us Nature’s study, and I’m sure we will all enjoy it. We have just finished our monthly examination for March, and I’m sure it did us all an abundance of good. We are now getting ready for Easter. We have made Easter Baskets. Chickens, Rabbits and Tulips, and it makes our scholroom look very pretty. It will soon be time for our school to close. We are preparing to have a basket picnic, and we all hope we will have a very good time. We’re sure this has been a very profitable term. One thing that has made ur school so successful is, we always salute our American Flag, and never forget to ask Our Father to guide us through the coming day. VIRGINIA GRAY. MIDDLE LAMBERT (By Nellie C. Stilwell) Asistant, Antoinette Franks. Teachers may complain and find fault with the school-board, because their rooms do not have furniture to make them like parlors, but why should we complain, so long as we are comfortable. We do not have up-to-date buildings and very little playgrounds, but we try to make the best of the situation. Our rooms are made from “shanties,” each sixteen feet by twenty feet. We have a very small space of blackboard, only enough for three pupils to write at one time. Perhaps we will be criticized another year, but we hope, and trust the patrons who knew of our surrounding, will understand the reason for this. From an enrollment to seventy-five pupils we are working hard to be ready to promote at least fifty. How the pupils enjoy these warm days. Every day that is favorable we take the children out for a hike at noon. When we tell them we are going, every child is ready to start at 2:15 o’clock. We usually start off with some contests, such as climbing steep banks, running races, and rolling stones over banks. Every one seems to enjoy this very much. We have ----105----- also taught them the names of many trees, plants and insects. It is wonderful how close the children of the small grades observe. If there are any teachers who Pave never tried this, jus: go out and try it, and the teacher will have to be very poor observer if she does not get some good out of it herself. EDENBORN Edenborn is one of the largest schools in the Township having an enrollment of about two-hundred ninety. The pupils have done very well in attendance during the term, despite the fact that sickness of some kind was ever present. The term's percentage of attendance was around the ninety mark. Fine work has been done in all grades and but very few times has there been any relaxation on the part of any pupil, in anything attempted. During the term several public entertainments were planed and put underway but each time had to be called off for unavoidable reasons. However in preparation and practice those pupils who were given parts showed very good talent and it is hoped that in the future we may hear of these pupils becoming great in their line- A great interest has been shown in nature work and there is no doubt, had we a more natural looking world in the vicinity of the school there would be excellent things accomplished. Nevertheless a few excursions were taken a short distance from the school and lessons in Geography and nature were learned that could not have been learned in the school room. Bird study was taken up and as a result quite a number of bird houses were constructed. Visiting day was held during the winter, and nearly aii of the homes, represented by pupils, were visited by the respective teachers. WEST MASONTCWN (J. S. McClelland.) This is the last year for the old West Masontown schools. German Township is rich, we are told, and the present buildings on the most traveled road in Fayette county give the township a poverty-stricken air that she cannot well afford. But the present huts are being replaced by an up-to-date building of six classrooms, three play rooms, inside toilets and a modern system of heating. We have tried to make cheerfulness and good humor one of the features of the school, and we have not had a serious dispute during the term. Our ball team played nine games and won them all. The freshman team failed to show up so we feel that we were cheated out of one more victory. Our present eighth grade consists of as fine a group of boys and girls as was ever assembled within the walls of a school room. See if the West Masontown pupils have to take back sets during the 1920’21 school year. ---107—- but—OH! THAT BREATH She leaned back in the big plush chair.

That’s the only way,” urged the officer. So, geinning in a tragic voice, he chanted— “Should auld acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind ? The blooming cook fell overboard and is 20 miles behind.” The train was crowded, and a woman, not content with a seat for herself, had spread her belongings over another. A man, when a courteous request to clear the seat met with no response, cleared it very carefully himself and then sat down. “I should like you to know,” she said, “that I am one of the directors’ wives.” ‘Can’t help it, madam,” he replied. “If you were the director’s only wife I should do the same again.” AMBIGUOUS “I advise a walk every morning on an empty stomach,” said the wise young doctor to his first patient. “On whose?” asked the dyspeptic patient who still had a sense of humor.
