Many in sad faith sought for her, Many with crossed hands sighed for herg But these, our brothers, fought for her. ar wr an Tasting the raptured fleetness Of her divine completeness: Their higher instinct knew Those love her best who to themselves are true, And what they dare to dream of, dare to dog They followed her and found her Where all hope to find, Not in the ashes of the burnt-out mind, But beautiful, with danger's sweetness round her. -James Russell Lowell SPECTATOR ignnnr illnll p JOHNSTOWN HIGH SCHOOL ALUMNI AND FOR- MER STUDENTS WHO ARE IN THE SERV- ICE OF THEIR COUNTRY Class of 1899-GEORGE FOSTER, First Lieutenant, unmarried, Mt.

Pains have been taken to make the above list as complete and accurate as possible. The reader will realize suchia list has been difficult to com- pile without mistake. F. M. G., '08, A Elrihutr A glance at the list of High School students and gradu- ates now serving the Government, together with a personal knowledge of the many sacrifices, the energy and exertions in qualifying for the service on the part of those who are in, must make us all realize that no effort of the past has gone for naught. From the trenches to the camps, in the hospitals, on every highway of transportation-water and land-we are represented. Is it not worth while, worth every word and act of support and encouragement of our great school, when we count the men and women from among us Who are willing to make the great sacrifice for human- ity and for country? If I may be permitted a paraphrase: 'Alt is rather for us to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fight for us have thus far so nobly advanced. That 5 26 SPECTATOR A we here highly resolve that this sacrifice shall not have been made in vain -that this, our alma mater shall have a new birth of service to the people, and that this college of the people shall be truly of the people, by the people, for the people. No greater monument to those ,who serve -for us-could be raised. ANDERSON H. WALTERS, '77, Gllama uf 19111 America, my country, I come at thy call, ' I plight thee my troth and I give thee my all, In peace or in war I am wed to thy weal, I'll carry the Hag through the fire and the steel, On sea nor on land shall it suffer disgrace, Unsullied it Boats o'er our peace-loving race, In reverence I kneel at sweet liberty's shrine,- America, my country, command, I am thine. ' -Grendahl. Nearly one-seventh of the total membership of the class of 1910 have answered the call, and figuratively speaking, have lived the above poem. When the 77 graduates of this class received their di- plomas on the night of june 2, 1910, little did twelve of them realize that they would be at this'date serving their country in a battle for the freedom of the world. But true to ,the old spirit of High School they responded to a call which came for the freedom of others and they are now with the cream of the nation elbow to elbow and foot to foot, determined to do their share to rid the world of a stagnant monster, Kaiser Wilhelm, emperor of all the Prus- sias, and would-be emperor of the world. For the class of 1910 its service men have gained sig- nal honors just as they did in their school days. And to these boys we wish to extend our earnest wish for their good luck. May we do at home at least half for our coun- try that they are doing on the field of battle. By the time SPECTATOR 27 the next issue of The Lyre comes out in 1920 we hope to have them all back with us to tell how the Kaiser was sent to St. Helena. - SEW DAVIS. ...- . A Qlllihnight Barrark Nutr C Company, 316th Infantry, National Army Camp Meade, Maryland 17 January 1918 The Spectator, ' Johnstown High School, Johnstown, Pa. Dear Editor: I am going to let my thoughts revolve around Cooper's legs, to keep from rambling too far afield, it is bad to write letters after taps. Corporal Cooper was one of the selected men, and his legs had been a very great worry to us in the Orderly Room at the Company. I first met his one day last September as he stepped oi? the train at the head of a sturdy quota of Pennsylvania Dutchmen. Cooper did not look at all military, his arms and legs had grown wild. so to speak, his waist measured more than his broad shoulders, and he ambled beautifully. There was an air of responsibility about him, however, and his Local Board had picked him to steer its little group to Camp, and he was worth watching. For several weeks I observed his painful efforts in making his feet do about face, and then, when he began to execute movements like a soldier rather than a windmill, he was made a corporal. To his great surprise, Cooper found him- self a teacher, showing Ignatius and Angelino the difference between right and left, and proving to himself that he would have to conquer his own unruly feet. One day he took a squad of men to a newly finished bath-house for a shower. One unsophisticated rustic, who did not know what to make of the overhead apparatus, exclaimed, I seen one of them things before. But he did not know the open sesame for it, and Cooper, to whom a shower was not such an old 28 SPECTATOR acquaintance, had to induct jacob into the delights of an army bath. One simple lesson like this followed another, Cooper learning just a little faster than his squad, and all learning something new every day. Unexpectedly the Company suffered a heavy loss in the transfer of the Clerk to Headquarters, and we had to comb through our qualification cards very carefully to find in our Berks County aggregation a man fitted for office work. Cooper had scored a modest line under the heading, Book- keeper, and we made him confess that he had also tapped a typewriter in a village store. With Cooper in the office the fun began. VVith elephantine grace he plunged into his work, but his legs were entirely too long for our tiny Or- derly Room. When an officer came in and he snapped up to attention, he always knocked over the chair or jarred the Captain's pen into making an earthquake graph. There was too much of him for our two-by-four office. He had made great progress on military lines, however, and one day the chance came. The Captain looked up suddenly from an order which had just come in. Cooper, how would you like to go to France? My God, no l was the startled answer. No one from the Company had gone overseas up to that time, and Cooper had been too busy to think of such an immediate possibility. The train leaves at nine o'clock, and that gives you about forty minutes to pack up, was all the Captain said. Cooper knocked over his chair, came up to a salute, and charged out of the room. A few minutes later he came in again with his barrack bag, and he looked rather sheepish. he said, I guess I didn't mean what I said about going to France. It came kind of sudden, and maybe there'1l be more room for me over there anyway. The Company was mighty proud of him as he marched down to Regimental Headquarters. That is the simple tale of one man, and it is typical. A cablegram came for a typist, and a good man had to be sent. It was not the long legs, always in the way, that HSir,!! SPECTATOR 29 sent Cooper to France, but rather his record as one who had made good in Uncle Sam's great university. Cooper's legs always make me think of Camp as a great university. Ditch-diggers and typists, butchers and school-teachers, plumbers and grand opera singers, all of them are living in one great school, learning new lessons in health and vigor, and in discipline of body and mind. The typist straightens up his body, and the singer unbends his mind to a new at- titude on universal brotherhood. The democracy of the squad room is a destroyer of grouches and ill temper. The man who never learned to take a bath is given a lifelong lesson, sub rosa, by his bunk mates, with the aid of icy water, a concrete Floor, and scrub brushes, and the farmer who never saw a football in his life, and who, a month ago, slouched along like a camel, is becoming an expert basketball player. Tony is taught English at night school, and Reuben is taught French. The young officer comes in for more than his share of. the new education, and to him the mere thought of an eight-hour day is a joke. Primarily, of course, he is a military instructor, supposed to do everything better than his men. But that is only a small beginning. During four short months he may be called upon, without notice, to be in turn clerk, ofiice-boy, physical director, lire-chief, mess steward, lawyer, judge, student, teacher, lecturer on hygiene, First aid, anything, section-boss over ditch diggers, wood- man felling trees, carpenter foreman, and even a troop-train chaperone Six months ago he may have been a salesman or an engineer. All of us have become Coopers. working hard, under the inspiration of a great cause, to overcome the civilian handicap of contrary legs or lazy minds. I tell you, it is great. I have not related any hair-raising tales of trench-knives and whizz-bangs, because you have more time to read the real thing in magazines than I have. Let such tales wait for a later day, a pipe, a deep leather chair, and a crackling fireplace. It is pleasant, at least, to think of such al setting. Now, my letter finished, I shall not blow out a candle, nor 30 SPECTATOR crawl out of a tent to secure the flaps against a night wind, nor roll up in blankets on the cold ground. NVhat I shall do is to tiptoe down the hallway and out to a good hot shower, then open my window to get enough fresh air, turn out my brilliant electric light, and grope for the springs of a won- derful iron cot. , With best wishes to The Spectator 4 CARL E. GLOCK C105 Lieutenant 316th Infantry, National Army. L.- .. Extrarta Elirnm Erttmi nf Alumni in tha Sernire Extracts from a letter of William Byron, 1911: Were it not for the pleasure of writing you I should al- most regret my refusal to answer the call of the sun and the wind and the thoughts of the greenest grass and the trees heavy with foliage. But then the inside is comfortable, far more so than the last boarding house. There, while the room was comfortable, the woman in charge took just as much interest in the boarders as was necessary to assure prompt payment of the weekly bills, whatever they happened to be. In my case it was 35 shillings Q35 times 24 cents equals 38.405 for room, breakfast and din- ner. In English Private Hotels lunch is seldom served and if tea is desired it must be ordered in advance except on Sunday when the steeping takes place at 4:30. I discovered that a mid-day meal was absolutely unnecessary since the housekeeper at the office serves tea every day but Saturday and Sunday. To be sure the tea is the product of fifteen minutes' hard boiling with the addition of a little milk but the tissue paper slice of bread and the half slice of cake-oh! very crumbly cake-are edible. Since the law prohibits the making of nflakey pastry currants and raisins are largely used to hold the crumbs together. This meal lasting from 4 till 4:30 is sufficient till we go to our respective boarding houses at 7 o'clock. ' SPECTATOR 31 You never saw a more motley crowd than that which collects around the festive board at Miss Sandes. Of the 29 incumbents, 28 speak both French and English, 3 German, l South African, l Dutch, 1 Russian, and 1 Esperanto, and we make no more progress than the would-be builders of the Tower of Babel. The last mentioned linguist is a jewel. Small and slight, his face is provided with a most wonderful coat of shaggy, unkempt hair which waves in the wind of his own conversation. Believe me, there is no rest for the weary. He is a professor of Esperanto somewhere in Eng- land and he finds the call of the world language too strong for his conception of the eternal fitness of things. So he talks it in the morning, about it in the afternoon, and in spite of us in the evening. No matter what the topic of conver- sation may be, he always turns it into Esperanto. Like a chameleon, it is adaptable to local color. No, there is one exception, that is sanity. ak :oc af Now we'll forget him. Next in interest are the women. Most of them are of the better class, for the cigarette cases which they bring to'the table are sterling silver and real gold. I had to decline the young ladies' offers of a smoke even though they failed to see how any man worthy of the name could do without his drinks and smokes at least'once a day. ' Extracts from a letter of Carl Haller, '12: I read with much interest, in the Johnstown Tribune, where the High School Spectator was going to publish a war number with data and information about those of the alumni who are in the service, and I wondered if it would be possible for me to get a copy of that issue foril am very much interested and I am sure that information would help me locate a number of the boys whose whereabouts I have lost since we are in the army. ' I am now located in the so-called 'Sunny South,' but I think the sunny part must be a myth for it is as cold as the north, and yesterday we had a snowstorm which would 32 SPECTATOR make some of our northern ones take a back seat, the only difference, however, is that it never lasts and tomorrow one is liable to bake. The flying game is very interesting as well as exciting and I have just left the instruction list and am flying solo, so I shall be able to put in much more time now and finish up and get to the other side and get into the thick of things. Extract from a card of Carl Coleman CIZJ to Mr. Stock- ton: 4 Received the box of tobacco this afternoon, and it fits in the right spot. My sincere thanks to those responsible for the gift. Best wishes for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year ! Extracts from letters of De Witt Curry, ex. 1912: I see by your letter you are having your troubles at school. I hope you do not do as I did, get disgusted and quit. You are having the same trouble I had. I would study my English history until I was sure I knew it and when I would be called upon to recite I couldn't say any thing. I think you will make a big mistake if you quit J. H. S., be- cause you will have to take the same studies all over again. ' if 4: :sf W e appreciate the action the congregation took in our behalf. I often think of the people of Willow street, but there are too many to mention in my letters. wk wk wk We certainly can make good use of the handkerchiefs. The Government doesn't issue any and you can't buy any for less than a franc Q20c.j. . ff wk af Crawford got one of his old maladies. Can you guess what it is? It's the hives. When I went over Sunday morning his head was about twice its normal size but by evening he was feeling well and the swelling had gone down considerably. Crawford and I invested in the Liberty Bonds. Our SPECTATOR 33 company bought over 18,000 dollars' worth. This certainly is a beautiful country, as much as we have seen of it. VVould like to send scenery postcards but they wouldn't pass the censor. vs ik 4: J'VVe have a Y. M. C.

Some think we will and some think not. You get more news over there than we are getting where we are. But I don't know whether it is real news or not. Will write longer letter next time if we do any thing worth writing about and are allowed to say it. VVe have to sign our full name and address after each letter. Extracts from a letter of Robert B. Greer, 1914: Two days ago I was pleasantly surprised when I re- ceived the box from the High School. It came at a welcome time, as we had just heard that our Christmas boxes had been sunk with a torpedoed ship. It was certainly a gen- erous and thoughtful thing to do, and I am sure everyone of the boys who was sent a box will appreciate it. American things taste good over here, and I will tell you how mine was received. Francis brought it to me about 9 P. M. when we had just curled up in our tents for sleep. I opened it and the four other fellows in the tent all got up and in- sisted that they didn't want to wait till morning for their first taste of the cakeg so we ate some by candle light. wr wk ak It is gradually getting colder, and the knitted sweat- ers, etc., are very welcome as they are so convenient. The Government provided us with very high rubber boots, so we can keep dry, even in this wet climate. 34 SPECTATOR Extract from a letter of Ralph Coleman, '15: It certainly did me good to receive the box of cakes from Johnstown High School. Presumably all former stu- dents vvho are in the service are receiving these boxes, and I feel sure that they will agree that both the students -and the persons who planned this treat deserve plenty of ctredit for their thoughtfulness and generosity. Uncle Sam feeds us quite well but no camp kit is included in the rations. At present I am on detached duty at this hospital which is a pretty busy place. The work here is interesting because there is such a variety of it. The Medical Corps men may be called upon' to do anything from shoveling in a WlI1tC1',S supply of coal to helping a doctor in the operating room. Christmas will be quite merry over here. A few large fir trees grow in the court of the hospital building and sev- eral electricians are Stringing one of the trees with colored lights. The Red Cross bags have arrived and an enormous amount of gifts is coming in daily from ships. There are indications that the Christmas dinner will be about so good as a fellow would get at home. According to the scores in the Paris edition of the Chi- cago Tribune, the High School football team must have had a very successful season. I-Iere's wishing all the activities the best of success. Extracts from a letter of Maurice Pearman f'l5j to Mr. Stockton: The usual training routine continues in camp. By the latest dope we are scheduled for eighteen more weeks of it. Naturally this news is very disappointing to the fellows as they are anxious to 'get across' and into action. But I suppose we have to be patient and 'do our bit' as scheduled. I'm proud of old Johnstown High School and its fac- ulty for doing their share so nobly. Their work in the Red Cross and Y. M. C. A. is wonderful. Both branches surely have helped greatly toward the comfort and pleasure of the men in the camps. Give Coach 'Vic' and the football team my heartiest SPECTATOR 35 congratulations--their record for the past season was won- derful and appreciated by us all. May the coming basket- ball season be just as brilliant! Remember me also to the other members of the fac- ulty. as wk :of Oh, yes, by the way, tell Miss F. Glenn I'd appre- ciate the 'Spectator' each month. She can mail the bill??? Extracts from a letter of Clifford Pinder, '16: I certainly was pleasantly surprised last evening to ind a box for me from I. H. S. I wish to thank you kindly for it and all who were concerned. , It certainly is fine to eat some 'honest-to-goodness' cakes as we cannot get them over here. We do get sweets, however, but not like the ones made in U. S. A. I surely was glad to see how well the team made out this year. I had several friends who sent me all the scores and I was proud of their success. Give my congratulations to 'Vic' and the team. Ill lk FK I hear that old J. H. S. is doing herself proud by work- ing and raising funds for the Red Cross, Liberty Bonds, etc. It must be some patriotic school. You remember it always was quite patriotic, even on St. Patrick's day. We are having wonderful weather here now, quite cold and a foot of snow. A day at the range certainly makes us appreciate our little stoves when we get back. VVe leave in the morning before daylight and get back in the evening after dark, cold and ready for something warm to eat. Wishing all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, also the best of success for the B. B. team. Extracts from letters of Crawford Curry, 1916: At present we are having rough weather and lots of it. However, we are well taken care of and have fine over- coats for the chilly evenings. The last week or so has been my busiest. I was doing 36 SPECTATOR regular 'duty' and also helping in the Y. M. C. A. I am now doing nothing but Y. M. C. A. work. I have been detailed as an assistant to the secretary. The work is very interesting and I surely do like it. My work is somewhat the same as it was in Johnstown Y. M. C. A., except that it is among fellows of a different class. I told in the last letter of our new Bible Class. - - - We three of course are taking an active part. I have been honored with the presidency for the first term. It is a new experience to stand before the fellows of the class-fellovvs of all kinds: of all religions, of all natures, of all walks of life. You can easily see that I am having an opportunity that I was longing for. The experience alone is worth more than the cost. Pk if at VVe had a line feed of 'French' fried potatoes and waf- fles at dinner time and I thought I would never stop eating. at as as The 'Y' aims to entertain as well as help the boys. We have entertainments often and have athletic stunts to F111 in the quiet evenings. af PK sf You have often heard France called beautiful, but I think it is even more beautiful than described. This part is dotted with small valleys and contains a little village. Not like our villages but merely a cluster of farm houses and barns. All the buildings are of stone and many are quite old-sometimes going back to the 17th century. :nf :of wk f We were very glad to receive your letter in the last letter bag. I did not have my glasses and as a result I had to have the letter read to me. I had to ask him several times who wrote the letter. You have certainly improved since you entered High. If I showed you a letter you wrote a Week before you entered H. S. and let you compare it with your last letter you could easily see what High has done. af wk 4: SPECTATOR 37 On Saturday I played football for my company. . I was captain of our team and we won-13-0. As a result I was as stiff as a board on Sunday. I had lots of fun in the game and scored both touchdowns. On Sunday and Monday we had real American movies. They were the first in this spot of France. The boys seem- ed to care more for the movies than they did for mess and that is saying a good bit. wk :r ak Last night Dr. Neysmith of University of Kansas was here and spoke to us. He is a wonderful speaker and also the 'inventor' of 'Basket Ball.' Pk wk wx The 'nrst snow was here and it changed the muddy roads into delightful streets. I was out on a little 'Y' trip the other day on my bicycle. You should see the beautiful little valleys with their snake-like streams winding in and out as if dodging the trees along their banks. Wlien one looks over these white valleys, dotted here and there with clumps of trees, it is hard to imagine that the world is trembling with this great disaster. :sf 4: :sf , The soldier boy is quite different from the fellow we worked with at school,- at home or in the mills. He feels mostly that he can do as he pleases, and when he falls there are none to stop him, because the large percentage are alike. wk if x It is true that there are many workers over here, but they are but a handful compared to the number of men. This is a large Held and an opportunity that should not be lost. Extract from a letter of james Taylor, 'l7: We drill all day and study all evening so this leaves us very little time to loaf. You know they despise loafing in the army. At least I have found it so. I saw in the paper the news that J. H. S. was to put herself on the Hoor soon. I assure you that I wish the 38 SPECTATOR team all the luck in the world. I know the material is there if it will only come out, and Coach Schmid can make it come out. Extract from a card of Earl Scanlan, ex. 'l8: France is just about the same though it does not seem like the holidays here. I guess it is. I am picking up a little French lingo. Extract from a letter of Carl Knauf, ex. '20: I have not been able to answer letters lately because I have been at the front for a few weeks and could not write while there. I should like to tell you about my experiences at the front but can write nothing about military affairs. The other day we came across a company of British 'Tommies' in a little village. They were the first we had seen and proved to be very interesting. Extracts from letters: Yesterday three of us went for a ride on bicycles. VVe rode through a large forest and had dinner at a little farm house in the centre of the forest. It was an interesting look- ing crowd at dinner. We ate out in the orchard under the trees. There was a Belgian oihcer Awith his family at one table, a young Portuguese and a girl at another table, a British officer and a nurse at the next one and several French officers next to us. The only one missing seemed to be a Boche. No doubt if there had been one there he would have been well roasted and quartered among the crowd. Ramsey and I have taken some long walks in the coun- try and down the cliffs. The scenery is Wonderful. The cliffs are about 300 feet above the English channel. When the sun shines on them the white chalk looks just like marble. Ramsey and I met a very interesting French family the other day, a lady 68 years old and her two daughters, one 30 and the other about 20. The father was killed at the beginning of the warg also the older girl's husband. SPECTATOR 39 They are very anxious to learn English just as we are to learn French so we try to teach them English while they try to .teach us French at the same time. Their home is in Paris but they have a little villa here where they spend the summer. The old lady is very unique. She justs sits and laughs at us while we chatter away. One custom which they have here is that of taking the mother with them when they go out. Qlnnnrruntinn The Government is making an earnest appeal to every household. To-day the women of the land are asked to make an attack on the enemy. The conquering of Germany depends as much on the kitchen as upon the trenches, It will require united effortg it demands self-sacriiice. To win the war wheat must be conserved. Since our surplus has already been shipped to Europe, the American soldiers, as well as the soldiers and the peoples of the Allies, can be fed only by the saving in the American household. This wheat can be saved by substituting or mixing other grains with it. Some of the substitutes which can easily be used are buckwheat, cornmeal. rye, oatmeal. rice. and barley. More bran and graham flour should be used in making bread because less of the grain is wasted in the grinding. The government asks every housewife to save one-third of the wheat each day which she formerly used. By eating more vegetables, especially potatoes, much wheat can be conserved. Since food will win the war, judicious choice of menus, should be exercised. How many households in Johnstown are observing two meatless days a week? No lamb or mutton should ever be served, for the wool is necessary to make gar- ments for the soldiers. All fats and sugar should be used sparingly. Federal Food Administrator of Pennsylvania, Howard Heinz, calls our attention to the crime of individual hoarding. 40 SPECTATOR He says that there need have been no sugar shortage to inconvenience us if family purchases had been kept on a rational basis. Salt, matches, and other commodities have also been drained from many markets. It is thus difhcult to keep pace with the demand. Mr. Heinz has urged that each township in every county of Pennsylvania be organized to meet these serious conditions. Miss Matilda Krebs, Director of Food Conservation of Cam- bria County, appointed by the VVoman's Committee, Council cil of National Defense, Pennsylvania Division, is thus or- ganizing each township, town, and borough of Cambria County through the teachers of the public schools. Miss Mary J. Cooper and Miss Katharine Ulery will supervise the work in Johnstown, while Miss Sarah jones will take charge of the work throughout the county. The teachers in each district. many of whom are graduates of the Johnstown lligh School. will assume direct supervision of the districts. The object is to send weekly messages to the mothers through the pupils by means of letters written as exercises in English. This will vitalize the work in the class room and at the same time teach lessons in patriotism. After the mother has read the message, she is requested to indorse it and rc- turn the letter. thus giving her pledge to do her utmost lu help win the war by daily conservation in the household. M.

Greer Uhr Eraft ann Ehnmzua ilfrllg Duncan Bruce, '15 This draft question is one that concerns all of us college fellows, so Tom Kelly and I have discussed it frequently. And we have ample time to do so in the long walk home each evening, for we work together at the same drug store and live on the same street. It is natural, therefore, that I should know TOHl,S- opinion upon this question. It's all right for unskilled millworkers and clerks to be drafted into the army. he contendsg 'they haven't much to loseg they're not working very earnestly to advance them- selves. But with us college men, it's different. Take you and me, for example-you in XVharton and me in the Dental. We're here trying to learn a useful profession, spending a lot of money and four years time. And then, after a couple of years, when we're just beginning to get hold of things, SPECTATOR4 43 we're drafted and sent off to some training camp where any roughneck would do just as well. And we have to waste a lot of timeitraining and probably we'll never see France and the trenches. I tell you, it's not right. It seems' mighty useless staying here, working day and night to pay ex- penses, with that draft business staring you in the face all the time. Of course, Tom never said all of that at one timeg he isn't one of those talkative Irishmeng he becomes enthused only over the Irish questions. But that he thinks that college men should be dealt with separately-of that I am certaing and, on the whole, what I have given represents Tom's opin- ion of the matterg at least, what he led me to believe was his opinion. But Tom expressed a change of opinion several nights ago. If you have ever been in our store, you may have no- ticed that the ice-cream tables are, for the most part, glass topped, although there are three or four with wooden tops. In order that the former may serve the double purpose of serving ice cream and of displaying goods, the boss has order- ed that they be kept clean and well polished. Of course, when we are busy, it is suthcient to keep them wiped dry, but be- fore closing time, every table must pass inspection. And so, about eleven-thirty, Tom begins to perform the daily rite, polishing each top faithfully. This done, he then, as if a part of his task, expresses to me his fervent prayer that all late comers will betake themselves to the wooden tops 5 at the same time pessimistically prophesying that they won't. His prophecy is usually fulfilledg then. Tom's unmeasured scorn and utter contempt of the human race in general is vividly expressed in his usually good humored face. Several nights ago, when the last table was polished and we were ready to close, a man in soldier's uniform entered, purchased his check, and seated himself at one of Tom's well beloved glass tables. I didn't witness Tom's reception of him but Kelly's face was as good humored as usual when he came to give me the gentleman's order of a chocolate ice- cream soda. This was very strange for Tom knew full well 44 -SPECTATOR the inevitable result of a soda upon polished glass. QThere was once a man who succeeded in consuming an ice-cream soda in one store without spilling a drop, but that was once.j I was naturally curious to learn the reason for Tom's strange conduct, so that night after leaving the store, I cautiously introduced the subject of our last customer. Tom immediately became enthusiastic. You know that fellow was drafted about a month ago, he had to make a real sacrifice about thirteen years ago, he started to work for the Magna Company as a messenger. He isn't very bright and he didn't even complete the grammar schools, but his last job was a mighty good one. He got it because he's a real plugger and a faithful worker. He doesn't know a thing outside of his job and he'1l have a hard time of it if he ever comes back. But when he was drafted, he went without a kick. They say the Company even offered to claim exemption for him but he wouldn't hear to it. And so, he gave up all he got by years of hard workg thatls what I call a real sacrifice. It makes me sick to hear these college fellows, just a year or two out of High School, moaning about the sacrifice that is forced upon them. They moan continually about the money and time theyive spentg they don't know what real work is or what it means to sacrifice. And so, it seems that Tom's opinion has changed, but possibly not very much, for that soldier-boy looked Irish to me. Hiithnut illlalire Mary-Cover, '15 The audience sat silent as the curtain fell on the Christ- mas play and the last of the music was hushed-for the play was German. Then a storm of applause followed, for few of us had ever seen a Christmas play so lovely, so lofty in spirit as this one from our enemy. Here at college art could be international. XVe could fight and hate the military autocracy of Germany on one hand and gain from her music and liter- ature on the other. Indeed ,only those persons attune to the SPECTATOR 45 fineness of life which gives us art, can hate wisely the imper- ial policies which threaten its development. It is this patriotism, cultivated by our best institutions of leariiing that revolt at the petty hatred of everything Ger- man, which has arisen unfortunately, in some parts of our country. From the Metropolitan Opera House we have the announcement of no German opera. Pittsburg will have no German music on its concert programs. Some schools have dropped the study of the German language. Others have cut pages out of text books if they mentioned too favorably the eliiciency of German city government. The ridiculous extreme was reached when German fried potatoes were no longer served at restaurants, but American fried, very much the same. VVe have all heard the Sh-h when we refer to the German way of knitting, it must be peasant or con- tinentalf' Very recently the president has announced the war aims of the United States. These terms mark the beginning of a new, a democratic epoch in the history of international diplomacy. We have been asked to back the president's lead all through this war, and never before have we seen so clearly as by the address to Congress on 'Ianaury 8, where we are being lead. From the trenches comes the word that our president's messages help to keep before our soldiers the prin- ciples for which we are Fighting, that our war is with the German government, not with her people, or her art. Have We, at home, helped our lighters to remember this? Can we, as a people, light this war to the high-minded end announced by our president, if We have hatred in our hearts-hatred of the good as well as the bad that is German? And after the war, for the war will end some day, in the period of reconstruction, far more difficult that the pres- ent, how long will we deter our leaders in efforts of restora- tion by the hushed whisper of the word German ? 46 SPECTATOR Eraining Zllnr Uhr Big, 6681112 E. E. O., '17 The world is on fire. Are you? We are in a most trying period. How are we going to meet this situation? These are most serious times. The test of today is to stand with un- daunted courage amidst this confiagration holding oneself true to the principles of justice. Justice, not only to our neighbors, but to ourselves. It is a test of individuality. The time is not far distant when we shall all have a definite thing to do in life. If we are going to stand the test we must first prepare ourselves. just as we prepare to serve our country so must wehdiscipline ourselves to fight our in- dividual battles. The many things to accomplish in life and the way we do them largely determines our course of thinking. Our course of thinking determines our character, for our character is nothing more than the total result of our thoughts. This necessarily brings us face to face with habits. Habits are our best friends and worst enemies. A good habit is a helping friend while a bad habit is a deceiving enemy. They feed on the weakness of our brain. Most of us are not conscious of the habits we form or they would be different. VVhat then can be the cure for our forgetfulness? Discipline. Discipline the mind and make it the active power of the human de- velopment. Our minds must be mastered by teaching them the habit of obedience to nor will. They must be made to act immediately at our command. Then we can form our habits on what our brain teaches us in order that our gains may be measured by volition rather than by unscrupulous thinking. Without a doubt the question of self-mastery is the predominant factor with which we must reason now. Once we have become master of our habits it is our duty to rectify them and form new ones. Now if never before we must live a life of determination, and the first requisite of a strenuous personality is the acquiring of the habit of untiring industry and zeal. The spirit to do the right thing, the power to do it effectively, and the ability to stand prosperity will SPECTATOR 47 lead us on in achievement. Our plan of daily life should be a success. VVe must mould our life by consistent and worthy deeds. VVe must keep ourselves in training. If strength and tenacity must be built for successful foot-ball what training is necessary to battle with life? Finally we must always hold ourselves within the realm of reasoning if we are going to root out the evils and make room for the cultivation of good habits. It is only after we have mastered and cultivated good habits that we can unite patience with progress and can learn to win. Reasoning is indispensible to success and the more we reason the smaller the mountain ahead. The world will not Wait on us and let us not be a weight on the world. Are we diverging from the path for which we have often planned and dreamed? Can we afford to discard our plans and throw everything aside just because the world has forgotten her- self? No, never, we are ablejto keep our patriotism tempered with reason. The seeds of disaster should never be ripened within our own hands. The intensity of our desires should be encouraged. The sharpening of our intellect it of infinitely more importance than the enjoyment of pleasure. In the desire of pleasure many people disclose the infirmity of their nature. They are victims of cancerous habits. We must face the truth with a closed fist. We will master our habits. The ambition to live and love and learn according to the highest ideals of life is an ambition that needs careful con- sideration. Vtfe can readily see that we are beginners in the art of living. But we can easily realize that success rests upon our daily accomplishments. VVe must forever keep in mind that the things we do when we don't have anything to do largely determines our career. We have so much to learn, even from those who surround us. Who can estimate the value of education ?' It follows then that if we are learning to win we must first look within. What is the duty of each individual when the nation is fighting to maintain its ideals amidst this terrible carnage of war? It is no more than to maintain our own ideals of justice governed by reasoning. VVe have an esteemed joy in living 48 SPECTATOR in America. As true Americans we must cultivate our better selves so that American culture will be the inspiring imprint on the world. just now comes the pressing need of economy. Are we going to waste time and money? VVe shall do Well to remember the old proverb that, he who buys what he does not need will need what he cannot buy. It is high time to ligure the cost of high living. W'e are in an age of determination. Every day each person should resolve to himself that. if life is my contest I will cleanse my hands to take a firmer grip on herg I will be an American in all my deeds and actionsg I will endeavor to build a tenacious and wholesome characterg I will be conscientious in my work in order that I may retrace my steps with pleasureg I will de- velop my powers of reasoning so that they can be applied effectively at all timesg I will strive for greatness knowing that it cannot be copiedg above all l will be a gentleman for that is what I am expected to be and to these ends I dedicate myself by clean living, clean thinking, and clean actions. I will make life a pleasure and push forward to the accomplish- ment of these ideals knowing that High School has laid me a foundation in my training for the big game. Uhr ilmpnrtant Hart A Huang Maman Svhnulh Flag At Hreavut Gertrude Suppes Wagoner, '17 As the days pass and we realize more and more that we are living at the time of the greatest war in the history of the world, we young women are awakening to the fact that we, too, have great duties to perform, if we wish our country to be able to withstand the great test to which it is now be- ing put. Every young woman should consider it her patriotic duty to take advantage of every opportunity for an education. The fact that many are deprived of this opportunity is all the more reason why those who have the chance of an educa- tion should make the most of it. From now on our country SPECTATOR 49 will be calling for women with trained minds and bodies. Thousands of men are leaving our country daily to take part in the great VVorld War. This means that there are thousands of positions left behind that must be filled by women. But unless we educate and train our minds, we shall find that we are entirely incapable of filling them. It is true, we hope, that the war will end in the near future. and that many of our men will returng but a'great percentage of those who do return will be so crippled and maimed that they will not be able to take their former places in the business world. So we must look to the women to be a great factor in the business world not only at present but in the future. Besides our business responsibilities we find that we also have new social trusts. Our country is overrun with thous- ands of ignorant and poor foreigners who must be looked after and educated to the present modes of living. Surely the uneducated can not teach the uneducated! Our first social service however, is to our own people. NVe must not allow the families of the soldiers who have sacrificed their lives for us to be in want and distress. The educated young Women of today must see that the children of these heroic men have a chance in life, and that they are not deprived of the privilege of having an education. What good will our mental training do us if we are physically unfit to make use of it? This means that we should educate our bodies as well as our minds, so that when we are called upon to perform the duties of men we shall find ourselves physically able. VVe shall be under great mental strain and to be able to withstand it our bodies can- not be sick. Some of us shudder when we think of the future genera- tionsg but if our whole thought and ambition are to keep our children and young people strong and healthy and to produce healthy children, the future generations will be able to take care of themselves. I so s P E c T A T 0.R 51112 Naual Auiatnr L. M. Meyer, '14 VVhen the Naval Aviation is mentioned, people ask, VVhat is its work? What has it done? Much has been heard of the Army Aviation, because of the spectacular air battles along the Western Front and because of the pre- ponderance of army activity in this war. But little has been said of the work of the naval Aviation, not because of the lack of activity in that branch, but because of the secrecy, which is characteristic of the British Navy. Only lately have we read of many of the daring exploits of the British Royal Navy Flying Corps. y The accuracy of gun fire in the Navy is as dependent upon the hydro-aeroplane as the accuracy of the artillery fire is dependent upon the aeroplane. In consequence of this fact, all the modern dreadnaughts and battle-cruisers are equipped with one or two hydro-aeroplanes. These planes are thrown into flight directly from the deck of the vessel by means of a catapult device. The seaplane, at the end of its Hight, lands on the water and is hoisted back to the deck by a Cl'H.11C. In battle the duty of the naval aviator is to find the enemy, telegraph the range and accuracy of shots, and often to drop bombs on the enemy vessel. The sea-plane is es- pecially necessary in modern naval engagements, because of the smoke screen, which the enemy puts up to conceal its movements. Naval reports show that the seaplane has played an important part in the various engagements, which have taken place, and from all indications will be the decid- ing factor in any future great naval battle. Another important role, which the naval aviator plays, is searching out the German naval bases and bombing them and making raids upon ports, munition factories, and Zep- pelin sheds. For this work the aeroplane, which is consider- ably faster than the seaplane, is used. Thousands of bombs have been dropped by naval birdmen upon seaports, forts, and Zeppelin sheds. Several Zeppelins have been destroyed SPECTATOR 51 in this manner and several large inunition factories along the Rhine have been destroyed. VVe are told that ocean transportation will win the war and it is in this connection that the naval birdman is doing perhaps his greatest work. The seaplanes are patroling the coasts, holding up and inspecting doubtful ships, locating mine-fields and destroying mines. conveying troop and mer- chant vessels, notifying destroyers of the location of sub- marines and even attacking submarines by means of depth- bombs. In all these duties. the seaplane has been singularly successful. There are many other duties. which the Naval Aviation has been put tog many daring feats, which have gone' un- heralded and we may be sure that the exploits of this branch of the service will fill many pages in the histories of the Great War. 52 SPECTATOR iirinripalli Magi, WAR ACTIVITIES OF THE HIGH SCHOOL Liberty Bonds .................................. 324,825.00 Y.

We are fighting for what we believe and wish to be the rights of mankind and for the future peace and security of the world. Americans as a whole have resolved to de- vote the best that is in the nation-noblest manhood, most useful resources, and greatest wealth-to the cause of the future civilization of the Universe. In itself this marks the end of selfish motives for people on this side of the Atlantic, we as a nation are beginning to think less of individual pleasures and more of universal happiness-now and in the future. In many people a feeling of duty and a willingness tosacrilice all for the welfare of humanity has taken root. However, some of the seeds of unseltishness have fallen on stony ground. Some people wear their Hag-pins and red- cross buttons with a feeling that they have done their share. They have not been aroused to help the Red Cross Associa- tion. Is it not through the instrumentality of this worthy as- sociation'that most of our charitable ideals can take concrete form? The very fact that many members of the American Red Cross are doing active work abroad should be an incen- tive to us. It is through them that our real help to France and the other Allies is being felt. No ambition for reward and personal honor is inherent in the souls of those noble workers. They realize that they must do their share to ward off the evils of the enemy of civilization. The little that each one of us can do for them will help in the great cause. Every one of the members of the high school has mo- ments when he or she might be doing something for the men over there. Our financial support is needed, but we can do little things which will help a great deal. Remember when you are wishing that you might be a SPECTATOR 55 Red Cross Nurse or a soldier that charity begins at home. - - M. E. S. l Svrlinnl rum Mr N. C. Williams has resigned as instructor of com- mercial law in the High School to accept a position as auditor for the Johnstown Sanitary Dairy Company. Mr. XVilliams taught in the High School for three terms. During the foot- ball season last fall, he rendered very valuable service as treasurer of the Athletic Association in making the football season a financial success. His resignation was received by the students and faculty with feeling of regret. Mr. Williams has been succeeded by Mr. W. G. Davis, a teacher in the Johnstown High School until last year, when he accepted a position in Columbus, Ohio. VVe are very happy to see Mr. Davis return not only because he is a force- ful teacher, but because of the great interest which he al- ways had in the athletics of this school, and the inestimable service which he gave as treasurer of the Athletic Associa- tion during the two years of 1915 and 1916. ak It wr Owing to the increase in the student enrollment, caused in the entering of the mid-term Freshmen, two teachers have been transferred to the High School. They are Mrs. Myrtle Roudabush, of the Roxbury school, and Mr. Vincent Peter- son, former Principal of the Osborne school. - af 4: 1: The Grammar Grade commencement exercises for the mid-term class graduating from the eighth grade were held in the High School auditorium on Friday evening, january fourth. One hundred and ninety-four pupils were presented diplomas by Mr. J. N. Adee, Superintendent of the Johns- town schools. Of this number, one hundred and thirty-five have entered the High School and are now hard at work with their new studies. wk 4: if ss sPEcTA'roR A new course added to our curriculum is that of home- nursing, which was started at the opening ofthe new semester, January seventh. The Johnstown Chapter of the American Red Cross has fitted up a room in the High School building, where the class taking the course devotes the last period of each school-day to the study of home-nursing and first-aid. Twenty girls have enrolled 'in the class, which is under the instruction of Miss Fannie Kerr, the school nurse. wk Jr PK The first chapel 'exercises of this semester for the three upper classes were held in the auditorium on Wednesday morning, January ninth. Mr. Stockton gave a short but im- pressive talk relative to the student and his studies. He said that the student who always has a low class standing is generally the one who watches the clock, and who is satislied with 'tgetting throughl' in his studies with the least possible effort. This student has as an excuse, I forgot. In conclusion Mr. Stockton said that each student should be guided by his conscience and should have as a motto. Do what I ought, when I ought, whether I feel like it or notf' On the following day, January tenth, Mr. Stockton spoke to the Freshmen at the Freshman chapel. :sf :sf Pk The letter men of the Johnstown High School champion football team, and a number of other men interested in the star eleven, spent a very enjoable evening as the guests of Manager Powell Stackhouse at a turkey banquet given at the Country Club on Thursday, January third. Mr. Anderson H. Walters, Editor of the Tribune, who was toastmaster. called for speeches from J. C. Ogden. general manager of the Cambria Steel Companyg H. J. Stockton, Principal of the High School, V. M. Schmid, athletic instructor, Charley Col- bert, assistant coachg John Buchovecky, captain of the 1917 football team, and Mark Harrigan, captain for 1918. Music was furnished during the evening by a nine-piece orchestra from the Cambria Steel Company's symphony or- chestra. ak fr 1 SPECTATOR 57 One of the most interesting and impressive chapels of the year was the girls' chapel, january the sixteenth. It was devoted entirely to the junior Red Cross Work. The na- tional anthems were sung, and a solo given by Mary Bacon. Short talks were given by Miss Tomb, Marian Schade, Flor- ence Poad, and Margaret Kaylor, telling of the great need for Red Cross work, and urging the girls to do more work than they have done in the past. Miss Ulery also spoke, outlining the plans for the next semester. The names of the members of the Student Board, which is to co-operate with the Faculty Board, were announced. They are: Emma Taney and Madeline Picking, 19183 Harriet Nixon, 19l8Mj Julia Matthews and Ruth Ryan, 19195 Frances Moore and Gertrude Griffith, 192Og Gladys Williams and Margaret Witt, 19215 and Catherine Emmerling, 19215. The next morning nearly eight hundred and Fifty girls registered for Red Cross Work. Many of these were al- ready busy with sewing, knitting, or surgical dressings. This work is to be done either in the classes after school, or at home. While much has been accomplished for the Red Cross during the past semester, this enrollment promises not twice, but many times as much for the coming semester. wk if FK Inez Anstead was awarded the tive-dollar basket-ball prize. Miss Anstead sold the highest number of basket-ball tickets, seventy-two. :of wr wk The Regulations for the junior Red Cross: 1. Each class must meet for one hour and a half per week, or 28 hours the semester. 2. Pupils are not excused except under very necessary conditions. 3. The teacher in charge shall inspect and record the work, so far as possible. 4. On completion of class work in May, the pupil may receive .10 unit-credit under the following conditions: faj that she has no unexcused absences on her'recordg Qbj that she has produced' a reasonable amount of work uf 58 SPECTATOR for the time employedg Qcj that she has done the work herself. 5. A pupil who has done unusually good work in quan- tity and quality, may upon recommendation of her teacher, receive a unit-credit of .20. wr -of ik The commencement exercises of the lirst mid-term class to be graduated from the Johnstown High School were held in the High School auditorium on Friday evening january eleventh. Eighteen students from the Class of 19l7M re- ceived their diplomas. The program was as follows: Music, Overture-La Brunette .... I. .High School Orchestra Invocation ........................ Rev.

High School Orchestra an if as Athletira Wake up, student body! The basketball team needs your hearty support. Your duty does not lie only in buying a season ticket. That part is the least you are expected to do as a loyal member of J. H. S. What our team or any other team needs in order to achieve the greatest success is the encouraging yells when they are playing. The proper spirit has not yet been shown. The main trouble is that 'the stu- dent body expects too much of the team. You cannot ex- SPECTATOR 59 pect the team to win every game it plays. If the team loses a game that is just the time when your support is most needed. The team can and will play better if it knows that the student body is backing it. A great deal in making a team or breaking it depends on the students. What are you going to do? ' When the call for candidates was issued, about twenty fellows responded. This surely does not represent the total amount of good material in over six hundred fellows. The following fellows reported and have been practicing: Buch- anan and Bellack, the only varsity men from last year, Reese, Griffith, joy, Gaffney, Thomas, Snook, Sharp, Gould, Harri- gan, Kahl, Hudson, Campbell, Tremellin, Harper, Ream and Galbreath. The great task which confronts Coach Schmid is to mold a team from practically all new material. High School is entered in the Western Pennsylvania In- terscholastic Athletic League this year. The winner of the League championship will receive a trophy given by the Uni- versity of Pittsburgh. The following schedule has been ar- ranged. 'january 11 McKeesport January 15 .... . ..

Qlurrvnt 71121115 It is curious that the land which formerly did so much to develop cultural arts should so have changed that now it seeks madly to destroy the results of those arts, especially when that destruction can have no military value. Cn the night of December thirtieth, German and Austrian SPECTATOR 61 aeroplanes dropped bombs on one of Italy's oldest and most famous art cities, Padua. One was aimed at one of those most wonderful ancient palaces, but although the house be- side it was shattered into bits, the palace stood unharmed. On the following night a more successful raid was made. Twenty incendiary bombs were dropped. The beautiful 16th Century Cathedral was struck above the gable and facade, the entire gable and upper facade falling to the street. The handsome bronze doors of the Santo or Basilica of St. Anthony were torn off and the sepulchre of St. Anthony, which is within, barely missed being struck. The priceless rose windows and renaissance stained glass were shivered to fragments. Many of the paintings and frescoes of great masters were torn and scratched. The most famous production of that skilled sculptor, Donatello, of the early 15th Century had been removed to a place -of safety, but not until its base had been severely damaged. ik :sf wk A memorable celebration of the birthday of Joan of Arc was held january sixth in France. In all the churches of France, masses were said both for American and for French dead. More beautiful than the mere fact of the national celebra- tion was the service held at the little village of Domremy, the birthplace of Joan, in the tiny chapel, where she so often knelt and communed with her Voice, Many people, unable to gain entrance to the esteemed chapel. knelt outside in the snow while mass was being celebrated. The occurrence was not only significant of France's af- fection for her ancient girl-hero, but also of her deep regard for America. lk lk Pk As a question, government ownership of the railroads in America caused much discussion, as a fact, it received uni- versal approval. Previous to the Congressional decision, the principal ob- jection lay in the fear that it might come to be permanent- 62 SPECTATOR a thing rightly to be deplored by a democratic nation. How- ever, poor transportation, which gave rise to a food and fuel famine in many of the Eastern cities, led Mr. Wilson to authorize government control. He wisely appointed Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo to be Dictator-General, thus providing not merely a con- troller of transportation, but likewise an authority over ti- nancing-the big problem of the railroad. McAdoo at once proved his capability by giving an order for all pleasure trips involving transportation to yield to freight shipping. So precisely has his order been executed that already the suffer- ing cities are realizing that aid is at hand. It is hoped that, under the guidance of Mr. McAdoo, the difficulties may soon be overcome, so that the railroads may do their bit in caring for the people. As for future owner- ship, surely America can trust her democratic government to prove loyal to her when the time arrives for a democratic ownership. 1.. -.
