THB SPECTATOR 27 In looking back over our past records on the football field, we feel proud that the school to which we belong is represented by so many columns of victories. With es- pecial pride do we view the magnificent record of last year's team, and the place awarded it in the Ofhcial Guide of 1909. When a writer, reviewing the football season of such a vast Held as the middle states, places Johnstown High School in a class with the champion preparatory colleges, and especially commends its success, we can reasonably assume that our team was of extraordinary merit. Such is the magnihcent record behind us. Can this year pro- long it? From present indications, we can certainly continue our success. With nine veteran letter men, the entire back field and half the line, and with at least half a dozen eager and earnest candidates Hghting for each doubtful position, a winning team is forecast. If experience counts, we cer- tainly have a most cheering outlook. The business management however, is much dissa- pointed at the poor call for season tickets, for without money the team cannot be properly equipped. Every ticket sold is more than a bargain to the purchaser. It is a help to the team. Girls' season tickets can be obtained for the exceedingly low sum of Hfty cents, the boys' season tickets, which also entitle to annual membership in the Athletic Association, cost a dollar. Even with this low cost, and with such great numbers in High School, fewer have pro- cured tickets than three years ago. Get awake and show your spirit. I THE UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURG MEET I, On the twenty-second of last May, Johnstown High School was engaged in a large track meet at Pittsburg, held by the University of Pittsburg. Altho the local team only scored four points, yet it made a good showing in the relay race, winning second place. With Johnstown's team fol- lowing close upon the leaders, the scholastic relay record was broken. The meet was won by Indiana Normal with 502 points. Pittsburg High School came second with 34 points. Those who ran for Johnstown High in the relay race were Ludwig, Speck, Chamberlain, and Statler. The

26 THE SPECTATOR flight from Lake Constance to Berlin, a journey of three hundred and fifty miles, made in the Zeppelin Ill carying nine men and provisions. When two hundred and seventy miles of the journey had been completed, a propeller broke. The damage was repaired. During the past four months the nation has lost some of its greatest citizens. It grieves over the deaths of Henry H. Rogers, the oil magnate, Edward Everett Hale, our intel- lectual hero, Simon Newcomb, our greatest astronomer, and Edward H. Harriman, the railroad king. President William Howard Taft in now engaged in an extended tour covering many states of the Union. Many of his opponents regard this journey as imperialistic, and charge the President with neglecting his office duties and with spending government money on an early and veiled campaign for the next election. The country as a whole, stands with the president, and he should know the country in which he lives. As every visit is marked by demonstra- tions of friendship, such journeys of the President foster patriotism and are well worth while.
