SPECTATOR 17 In Memoriam By the death of Harry Walter Rhoades, the class of 1915 has lost one of its most loyal members. He was horn june 16, 1896, in this city and lived here all his life. After going through the lower grades of the public school, he entered J. H. S. in the fall of 1911. He left the High School near the end of his second year to work in the Franklin office of the Cambria Steel Company. He intended going to school this year again. August 16, 1913, he went to a camp along the Susque- hanna River and that day. in attempting to swim across the river, he lost his life. Everyone who knew Harry liked him. His school mates called him Happy, Through his death the members of the Johnstown High School have lost a dear companion.

Oh, yes, I do beat him, she said without emotion, I have a very bad boy of my own who needs beaten occasion- ally, so not to be partial I beat,Bob, too. You know Bob aint my boy, I took him in when his folks died, she ex- plained. Since you don't object, I guess I will take Bob then, said Don. You can have him, answered Mrs. Smith. During the conversation Bob had listened without stirring but at its conclusion he was so glad he danced for joy. Don fearing the Smith's might change their minds hurried Bob down the steps and into the car as quickly as possible. When they had ridden a short distance in silence, Don suddenly turned to Bob and said, We'll have some good time together, won't we, little pal P You bet ! was the quick reply of the little boy. lb -its X754 is

We feel assured that this spirit of co-operation has grown into all pupils until it has become a part of them. f
