JAMES KILLIUS Principal of Johnstown 11igh School THE SPECTATOR The Office A MESSAGE TO THE CLASS Members of the Class of 1928: You are not only the first class privileged to complete the entire two years in the new high school building, hut you are also the largest graduating class in the history of the Johnstown High School. Needless for me to say that I am proud of you (and fond of you) individually and as a class. We have been accustomed to speak of the Class of 1928 in superlatives;— A wonderful class!'’ “Surli a cooperative bunch of youngsters.” High . Q's. Filled with loyalty and enthusiasm.” ”A class of many leaders.” Thus will you be re- membered. Your reputation as a class has been made. But such a reputation entails quite a responsibility upon you as individuals You must make good out in life. Excellent reports must come back from College and and Normal Schools concerning your progress. Success at work must be manifest. I might try to delude you by saying that all this is for the honor of the high school or for the glory of the class, but why continue the myth? Success founded [13] THE SPECTATOR upon ability and achievement is a personal matter. When you win success, it is yours. Others may follow your successes with satisfaction just as they may note your failures with regret. You must put forth the effort. You will learn much from experience. School is merely a few miles of paved street” in this great path of life. You will find if you have abundant success that you can share it with others; but it is always difficult to share failure. All the more reason that you should strive to actually accomplish things worth while. I sincerely hope that the intellectual and personality equipment which you have acquired during your school days will serve you well in time of need. May you have vision, inspiration and faith to get under way; may you have perscverence, ambition and energy to reach your goals. As our paths cross may you be able to say to me in all sincerity, “I’m doing finely; I’m getting along well.” Pest wishes. JAMES KILLIUS.

We, the members of her crew Look forward to our lonely trips, And plan great things that we shall do When we sail our staunch little ships. We launch our boats upon the water Each manned with a member of our crew Leaving forever dear Alma Mater And our beloved Captain, too. Two years we have cruised together, Wonderful years we’ll all agree; Now uncertain is the future weather As each alone sails out to sea. Our anchors we weigh, and bid farewell, But regret and hope peturb each mind As we set our bows to the ocean’s swell And leave old J. H. S. behind.

[91] THE SPECTATOR CLASS HISTORY Dorothy Bowman Perhaps there never was a more important event in the history of the Johnstown High School than the opening of the Senior High building. It was especially import- ant to the class of 1928, the first class to complete the two year course which is now regulated under the new 6-4-2 plan. Here were traditions to be preserved and experiments to be tried, amid new and beautiful surroundings. ’28 has had the ad- vantage over earlier outgoing classes for they have had more time to preserve and establish traditions, to experiment with new things, and to work in these beautiful surroundings. Possibly one of the elements of success of the class has been their respect for organization, for they organized early in the junior year and again in the senior year, when they elected Homer Ressler, President; Margaret Grady, Vice President; Betty Young, Secretary; and Joseph Kazamek, Treasurer. Not only has fine lead- ership been shown by these class officers, but also by those who have served as pres- idents of several clubs in which the class has a large membership. Robert McGraw has been president of the Hi-Y; Robert Bowman for the Inner-Council of the Hi-Y; Betty Young for the Girl Reserves; Philip Walters for the Boys’ Pep Club; and Betty Head the first president of the Business Service Club. The same kind of activity as that represented in the clubs, was shown in the classroom. An instance of this was the interest the class took last year in preparing orations on the Constitution for the National Oratorical contest. Happy were the members of the class to learn that in the final elimination, Anna Catherine Saylor was to compete with Harriet Knippel and Luther Snyder, both of Term XII. An- other example of high scholastic standing was evidenced at the inter-scholastic tests in Pittsburgh, April 30, 1927, when Mary Bock and Robert McGraw brought back honors both for the school and for the class. In the field of school publications, the class has been prominent. During the junior year, a number of the class were members of the staff of the “Blue and Black,” and for the past year, Elizabeth Peat, the editor-in-chief, has successfully directed the fortunes of the paper. She has had. associated with her on the staff, sixteen other members of the class. The make-up of the paper has been under the direction of Elinore Murphy, and her assistants, eleven of whom were members of ’28. The responsibility of the “Spectatot” was given to the class in January, when as Term XII’s, the class occupied the Senior section of the auditorium for the first time. Along with the dignity of their new position, came a surprise when Miss Ulery announced the names of the staff with W. Rauch Cover as editor-in-chief and Robert McGraw as business manager. The “Spectator” in which this history ap- pears, is of particular interest because the theme is the achievements of these two years in the new building. [92] THE SPECTATOR , Another publication to which members of the class have given their time is the Handbook of the Senior High School, which will be published for the guidance of pupils entering the school in September, 1928. The committee who compiled the material was composed of Walter Leibfried, Dorothy Bowman, Margaret Grady, John Given, Mae Collins, and Wilbert Theis, the first four of whom are members of ’28. The same interest shown in class work and in the school publications, was shown in special activities. The class has been well represented on the Student Council in the two years with such representatives as Homer Ressler, Withington Dixon, Rachel Varner, Clare McCleester, Joseph Kazamek, Robert Kazamek, Robert Hep- burn, Margaret Grady, Marion Grady, and Stanley Stephens. Walter Leibfreid and Dorothy Bowman have served as president and vice-president this term. In dramatics, successful actors of ’28 appeared in “The Knave of Hearts,” “The Birds’ Christmas Carol,” “King of Nomania,” “The Boor,” and “Lend Me Five Shillings.” In athletics, the lettermen, Walter Leibfreid, Lewis Meyers, and Mathew Siehl made fine records. Rachel Varner, Anna Viering, and David Jones, the cheer leaders, deserve credit for creating spirit among the student body. Socially the class has had much pleasure. The cordial relation between ’28 and '21 Vi was shown in the reception which ’28 gave for the graduates, and in the equally delightful dance of ’27 2 at which ’28 were guests. The culminating social event of the year, however, was the reception in honor of the class of ’28 at which the Term XI’s were hosts. And finally, the class have reached that long-dreamed of Senior Vacation, into which are to be crowded their final public appearances, the baccalaureate sermon, class day exercises, the class play, “A Tailor Made Man,” and commencement,— commencement which sounds contradictory, because to the class it means more of an end than a beginning, an end of their high school career. As the members of ’28 review their successes and pleasures, they realize their indebtedness and would express appreciation to their sponsers, Miss Mary Glenn and Miss Clarissa Hills, under whose sympathetic advice and guidance, the class have transacted their business and planned and enjoyed their social functions. As pioneers, the members of 1928 have found keen delight in the broader life of this new school; they have upheld former traditions and have established new ones. They leave the High School with the spirit of adventure expressed by Whit- man : “All the past we leave behind, We debouch upon a newer mightier world, varied world, Fresh and strong the world we seize.” [93] THE SPECTATOR PARENTS’ CLUB AND THE STAMPEDE One of the most active of the newly organized clubs of the High School is the Parents’ Club, a national organization. The object of this club is to obtain a broader knowledge of educational subjects; to advance the interests of education; to promote the welfare of the pupils; and to bring into close touch the parents and the teaching body of the high school. The members of this club have had two annual banquets, several open meetings and one closed meeting. Perhaps the greatest activity of this club was shown in the sponsership of the Stampede which was held February 17th and 18th of 1928. After the idea of having a Stampede was introduced at the Parents’ Club Banquet in Nov- ember, definite work was assigned to the faculty members and student understudies who belonged to the club. The definite work of these committees included such features as the main entertainment in the Auditorium, the Japanese Tea Garden, the arrangements for dancing in the Audion, the gymnasium exhibition, the waffle shop, and various side-shows. The Stampede was one of the most successful entertainments held in the high school. Through such work as was involved in the Stampede, many students were given the opportunity to participate in the various features; the public were shown how the student body and faculty work as a unit; and the parents were given a direct responsibility for activities in the high school. Although one of the purposes of the Stampede was to obtain money to pay for uniforms for the Band, the main reason was to bring the parents into closer touch with the activities of the school and to show them the abilities of the students. During this year, the following persons have served as officers: Mr. Edward F. Mills, President; Mrs. J. Ross Horne, Vice President; Mrs. C. H. Ashman, Secre- tary; Mr. Fred Costlow, Treasurer. 194] THE SPECI' AT OR The Fortune Tei.i.ers Minstrel Show Animal Show [95] THE SPECTATOR The Artist’s Dream Japanese Tea Garden [96] ■ V THE S P K C T A T () R The Wedding [97] T H E SPECTATOR THE MAGIC CARPET CLASS PROPHECY Elizabeth Peat One night I sat by my window dreamily watching the full, yellow moon. The silence was unnatural, though not oppressive. The night seemed to have a delightful secret in its keeping, but, like a child, half disclosed it with an eager air of expectancy. In such an atmosphere, my thoughts wandered; weird fancies and dreamy imag- inings passed through my mind. The moon seemed in perfect harmony with my moods—the round, cheery face smiled with me over happy memories of high school days and grew reflective, too, when my thoughts turned to the uncertain future which lay before my classmates. While I wondered, wishing that I might know the destinies of all my friends, I saw a black speck flit across the shining surface of the moon. I thought that it was merely a night-bird soaring high and attached no significance to it until my atten- tion was drawn to a dark object coming swiftly down the path of a moonbeam that shed its light on a branch of tree by my window. In a twinkling, the object was beside me, quivering after its downward flight and lightly hovering over the branch like a butterfly coming to rest on a flower. Then I saw that the black speck I had thought was a bird was really a little old man on a carpet. 1 was not so surprised as one might imagine, for the occurrence seemed quite in keeping with the spirit of the night. My unexpected visitor was clad in Oriental garments, wonderfully rich in color and design and lighted here and there by sparkling stones. His head, however, was uncovered and his flowing, snow-white hair and beard reminded me of pictures of Father Time. The carpet upon which he sat contrasted oddly with his splendor; it was old and faded; much of the fringe was gone, and it appeared too frail to bear much weight. It was for this last reason that I hesitated when the old man beckoned invitingly to me. He guessed the cause of my delay, and in a peculiar, but kindly old voice, said, “Oh, come! You need not fear the strength of my carpet.” He spoke so surely and in such a friendly manner that I decided to accept his invitation to board his queer craft. When I had established myself as firmly as possible in the center of the rug, he turned and said whimsically, “Whither away? My good ship, which looks so frail, will take you any place you wish to go.” “Even into the future?” I eagerly questioned. “Even into the future? What is it you wish to see?” [98] THE SPECTATOR “If it is possible,” was my rather doubtful reply, “I should like to learn the fate of my class mates, the members of the class of nineteen twenty-eight.” “A simple request,” said he, and with a word to the wonderful carpet, we were off. Up, up, up we flew. Strangely, I felt no fear, but an awed wonder for the magical powers of the carpet and its owner. I longed to know who my host was and from where he came, but he volunteered no information and I dared not question him. Still upward we flew! Up through clouds and mists we made our way, until we came to a region, the exact counterpart of the Earth, which my companion called the “Land of Years to Come.” We drifted low over mountains and valleys, rivers and trees, and, at last, my host announced that we had come to the hills of Pennsylvania. In a short time, we approached a forest where, in a clearing, a great fire was burning. Around the flames, two figures were whirling gracefully to the sprightly notes of a dance played by hidden musicians. As we drew nearer, I stared in amazement at the dancers. Yes, surely that was the stately dark beauty of Eleanor Oliver and the dainty sweetness of Martha Pacina, but dancing around a camp fire and in gypsy garb—what did it mean? Perceiving my wonder, my companion explained that a group of my classmates had grown weary of the tiresome rounds of their every day life and, with our class president, Homer Ressler, as their leader, had taken to the Romany Road. When the dance was ended, a familiar, tall figure—Homer—stepped forward to replenish the fire which leaped up and lighted the faces of the musicians in the shadows. John Lodzsun, Clare McCleester and Joseph Kazamek had their violins; Glenn Griffith and Philip Walter, flutes, while Craig Wonder, in lieu of a piano, strummed now and again upon a harp. A snatch of song like that of a nightingale came to my ears and I recognized the golden voice of Grace Henning. I could not see Olga but I knew that the twins would never be separated. As I eagerly watched and listened, one of Clair Hess’s quips put the circle in an uproar, but Kathryn Heebner’s cheerful giggle rose above all the hubbub, and was followed by William Wesner’s gruff voice, “Listen to that giggle! If it isn’t just like a girl!” Jacob Weil laughed ap- preciatively. Frederick John and Henry Lutz, still fast friends, added their share to the lively conversation, while Burton Jones and Robert Hershey piped up timidly once in a while. Rachel Varner was her own shy self and Wilda Lenhart, together with Esther Rosenbloom, was doing her best to bring Rachel into the merry mak- ing. Among the silent members of the company, I saw Susan Jane Keener, Marion Grady and Robert McGraw. P 9] T HE SPEC T ATOR I wished to speak to my old friends, but my pilot explained that the magic virtues of the carpet prevented me from being seen or heard. So, when he knew that I had recognized all the gypsy band, the old man murmured to his carpet and away we went over the tree-tops. We drifted along somewhat aimlessly until the roar of an airplane sounded. “That is what I have been waiting for,” said my companion, “I think that plane will be of interest to you.” He offered no further explanation, but changed our course to follow the plane. Shortly, we came to a landing field where the machine prepared to descend. We followed, and from the general conversation I learned that the airship was a trans- oceanic passenger flyer made by the Poliacek, Rhode and Reese Company. Many noted passengers had returned from Europe in the plane, among them Robert Goff. Mathew Siehl and Lewis Meyers who had been in different countries coaching famous football teams. Emma Keith and Meredith Miller had gained prominence as book collectors, and had been abroad adding to their collections. Nan Mamula had been in the British Isles propounding her theory that “Boxers are not educated men.” At the International Convention of Bankers, the LTnited States was represented by Max McFeaters accompanied by his secretary, James Torr. Last of these important per- sonages was Glenn Amps, renowned musician, who had been on an extended concert tour. When the last familiar face had disappeared, the magic carpet began to move. Now we were wafted to a little town in Idaho where an old fashioned camp-meeting was being held. I recognized Jacob Kraft as the fervent evangelist; Robert Morgart, the song leader; and Mary Catherine Cornelius, the pianist. While I sat looking on, the minister called for a volunteer choir, and, without hesitation, Mary Stokes, Robert Griffith, Mabel Weigel, Mary Lesko, Paul Weir and Wilbert Kinzey took their places on the platform where Thora Procter sat with her trumpet. We stayed no longer at the meeting but turned southward to overtake the ex- pedition Phyllis Lehman was leading to the South Pole. On our way we passed an island in the Pacific,—a new island which my guide said had recently been formed by an earthquake. It was American property, thanks to the efforts of Robert Bowman. As soon as the formation had become known, Robert had set out, like an explorer of old, to take the land in the name of his country. Then, by right of exploration, he had taken possession and, knowing of the vast profits in real estate, had planned a city and divided the ground into lots. Most people were skeptical about the venture, but Robert’s old classmates relied en- tirely upon his good faith and Louise Malbranc, Steven Gaydos, Telford Barrick and Rosella Bloom unhesitatingly entered into the proposition. Andrew Kolesar, Haws Burgraff and Rose Mary Smith served as Robert’s special agents. When we reached the southernmost point of South America, my pilot abandoned his plan of overtaking the Lehman expedition, and instead, told me something of its [100] T H E S P E C T A T O R members. Phyllis had chosen Tilda Fortier and Phyllis Hildebrand as second and third commanders; Mildred Weaver as official photographer, Marie Wolters, Zoe Shaffer and Evelyn Stephy as pilots and Croflford Ober, Robert Gavura and Donald Spence as mechanics. The passengers of the trip were Sarah Mangus, Margaret Diefenbach and Louise Diehl. Leaving South America, vve veered suddenly to the African coast where an organization formed by Lucille Platt, Vidamae Searle, Jane Schwing, Edna Lasta, Helen Link and Mildred Blackburn was trying to impress upon the natives the import- ance of learning shorthand for success in life. Laura Moffit, Betty Head, Eleanor Murphy, Margaret Grady, Velma Carnes and Edna Parks were doing the same good work in the interior of China. Florence Lovekin, the originator of the idea, was at home gathering more volunteers. On our way eastward we passed over Abyssinia where Frank Decker owned an extensive coffee plantation. He employed Gustav Bostert, Michael Bowers and Ed- ward Coleman among his coffee pickers. Now we were wafted southward to the little island of Kerguelen. There, a temple more beautiful than any of the ancient world had been built and dedicated to Art. A committee of American artists among whom were Genevieve Harrington, Mildred Sanderson, Mildred Barry, Joseph Gundlac and Norman Eirich induced art lovers all over the world to give their support to the project. The material used in the building had been invented by Charles Wagner, James Van Dusen and Carl Hoover; the plans were made by the Mattingly-Malasky architects while the con- struction was done by Withington Dixon and his experienced workmen, some of whom were Homer West, Domer Thiele, Michael Super, Carl Sigg and David Painter. Paul Gogel and Cecil Foster executed the carving which adorned the temple. Other decorators who assisted were Edward Strayer, David Ribblett, and Ronald Picking. Louise Hammer and Barbara Geiger planned the beautiful gardens. At the completion of the construction, John Given gave a famous dedicatory speech and lighted a fire upon the altar, a fire which Emily Simons, like a Vestal of olden times, vowed to keep burning. Helping her in her selfimposcd task were Mary Kathryn White, Katherine Keiper, Ida Gleason, and Elinore Murphy. Leaving Kerguelen, we flew to an Australian city where Anna Catherine Saylor had gained the dignified position of judge. In the same city, we passed an auditorium in which Roy Hawks and John Willett were entertaining a great audience; Roy, the speaker, and John, the musician. Several others of our class had settled in Australia. Glenn Hemphill and Robert Greenwood were ranchers while Alex Huston, Robert lames and David Jones were conducting a search for a gold mine. From Australia we went to a little town in India where Robert Kazamek and Robert Brownlee were collecting and training a troop of Boy Scouts. Hester Wickersham and Betty Young were engaged in Girl Reserve work near by. [101] THE SPECTATOR In the neighboring country of Afghanistan, we passed the establishment of Forrest Leffler, who had entered the carpet industry. His agents and clerics included James Kreider, Roy Jones, Merle Foust, and Sam Fyock. Forrest’s chief com- petitor was Dorothy Bowman, whose great success was largely due to her able assistants—Jacqueline Carnes, Harriet Byers, Margaret Cook, Yolanda Eperjessy and Margaret Isoczky. Next, we flew to Arabia where Helen Wissinger, Twila Lehman and Nellie Stombaugh were doing some research work in connection with the setting of “The Arabian Nights.” Olive Shadle and Dorothy Lees, as secretaries, accompanied the party. As we were wafted northward over Constantinople, I heard a muezzin’s cry, and recognized with amazement the sonorous tones of our Student Council president, Walter Leibfreid. Two other voices took up the cry—the familiar voices of Rauch Cover and Robert Keith. We did not linger in the city, but floated on into Greece. There, a party of tourists were admiring ancient ruins by moonlight; and, as we drifted nearer, I saw the well known features of Elizabeth Oboczky, Kathryn Studt, Margaret Smith, Jean Price and Kathryn Brown. From my companion, I learned that they were high school teachers making the most of their vacation. On our way to Italy, we drifted low over a ship on whose upper deck three men were standing. The captain I recognized as Logan Burkhart, and Luke Berke- bile and Thomas Weaver as first and second mates. We flew swiftly over Italy, pausing just long enough at Venice to see Wilma Rankin and Miles Sutcliffe in a gondola with George Warren a gondolier. In Spain, we saw Ronald Daugherty, Kenneth Mardis and William Mitchell who were studying the art of bull fighting. There too, Edward Peterson and Joseph Poad had taken up the culture of olives, while Stanley Stephens with the aid of Frank Chuchek and Kenneth Dyer, was trying to restore the Alhambra to its original grandeur. Leaving Spain, we floated northward into France over the vineyards of William Plack and Richard Johnson and on into Paris where I recognized Dorothy Alwine as the proprietor of a little shop. Irene Bell, Ethel Kaplan and Ruth Miller as- sisted Dorothy in her work. Standing near the shop was a group of laughing, chat- tering Americans. Marydee Johnson, Ann Viering. and Thomas Sheridan were there; and in a few moments, Dorothy Colly, Robert Neville and Lloyd Rager joined the party. Soaring away from the merry crowd, we flew quickly over the British Isles and Iceland to Greenland. There we found a miraculous ice castle wrought by the skillful hands of Jack Hockensmith. A liquid preparation made by Eugene Schmidt and Lynton Spangler had been applied to the structure to prevent all melting. In [102] THE SPECTATOR that same land Mildred Livingston and Dorothy Hampton were working among the Eskimos and had written home such glowing accounts of their life and work that Mable Sprengel and June Strayer had decided to enter the same field. Our mission in Greenland completed, we turned toward Alaska where Robert Ashman and La Verne Friedel were engaged in governmental duties. Marion Reitz, Helen Sanner and Dorothy Wcidncr were taking a great deal of pleasure in training a herd of reindeer; and Robert Baumgardner, a famous geologist, was pursuing his line of work. Robert Hepburn, who had found his life work in lecturing, too, was in Alaska. When we had seen all these persons, we turned east to the Dominion of Canada. In a short time, we came to a great fair. Drifting low over the crowd, we saw blue ribbons being conferred upon several ladies whose beaming faces reflected their pride and pleasure. They seemed vaguely familiar to me and finally my companion told me that they were classmates of mine—Bertha Clinger, Anna Diem and Esther Horner, all wives of successful farmers. Their skill in household arts had won for them the prizes just given. Now the donor of the ribbons turned, and 1 recognized George Allison. Grace Kimmel and Dorothy Koontz, noted authorities on domestic science were the judges of the contest. In the smiling group surround- ing the winners, I saw Dorothy Byers and Marcia Lewis. We delayed no longer but continued our eastward flight. As we skimmed along, 1 noticed two figures walking with steady strides along a country road. Some- thing familiar in their gait caused me to question my guide, who identified the two as Evelyn Fetterman and Sylvea McMinn, professional cross country hikers. Soon we passed a city in which Bernadine Noon, Marion McDowell and Elizabeth Metz- gar were serving as telephone operators. At last we came to the Hudson Bay where we found Richard Speicher and John Wilkinson sitting with hooks and lines—fish- ing for seals. Now we turned southward to Quebec to see the curio shop conducted by June Lehman and Eleanor Smith. As we passed, I saw Dorothea Luke coming from the shop with her arms full of purchases. And now we returned to the United States. On our flight through New England, I saw Lemuel Fisher as the head of a commercial school with Francis Maley as his assistant, Bessie Giffin and Olive Gehredes instructors. In one of the little villages, we passed a church supper in progress. Dorothy Hirsch, Alice Johnson and Margaret Meyers were among the ladies helping to serve. As we flew over New York City, I saw the names of John Nicely and Frank Cammarata in blazing lights high above one of the city’s best theaters. John and Frank were acknowledged leading actors of their day. Viola Gardner, well known writer of children’s books, was in New York, too. Having seen these interesting personages, we sailed away from the great metrop- olis to a lonely cottage where Mary Bock and Mary Young were preparing for pub- lication a book of philosophy. [103] '1' HE S P E C 1' A T O R We left the earnest couple and drifted silently through the air until my guide turned and said, “That completes the list of your class mates. Are you satisfied with your glimpse of the future?” So overcome was I with the astonishing sights I had seen that 1 dumbly nodded my head in response to the question. Leaving the “Land of Years To Come,” we soared out into space and began our downward flight. In an instant, we were again at my window. 1 was disembarking and attempting to thank my strange pilot for the marvelous journey. But he cut short my thanks with a wave of his hand, and, with a friendly smile, disappeared up the path of the dimming moon beam, leaving me to ponder the queer turns of Fate. [104j THE SPECTATOR Margaret Grady Marion Grady Maurice Malasky Jerome Malasky Grace Henning Oi.ga Henning The Twins 1105] The last activity finished, the reader may roam leisurely through A GAME OF CHECKERS Philip Walters To begin with, this story probably should have some kind of a love title, but as the person who told it claims that he can find nothing in it that comes up to his love standard, it evidently would not be appropriate to style it a love story. In- stead, Ed Yost contends that it is an excellent demonstration of the type of romance found among modern youth, and constantly employs it as an example in his amusing tirade on the relative value of love, as compared to checkers. I first heard the story when I returned to the home town for my vacation shortly after the War. Of course, most of the news at that time was concerning the conflict, but many people were also discussing the Minnie Richards-Dave Gerbcr- Miles Gaston affair. I obtained the complete details when I went to the Volunteer Fire Company Hall, and found my friends, Ed Yost and Dunklin Baxter, en- gaged in a game of checkers. “Well, well, if it isn’t our old friend back for his home visit,” cried Dunk, ris- ing to take me by the hand, and spilling the checker-board and checkers on the floor. “And if that isn’t the neatest way to back out of a bad hole, 1 don’t know any,” commented Ed. “But we’re glad to see you, partner. How’s business?” “Fine,” 1 replied. “How are you all? Any news about anything?” “We’re both first rate, to the being well question,” Ed stated. “And a little bit has happended. Come sit down. Dunk and 1 have one to go, and then the rubber. You won’t mind if we go on playing?” They started again after I nodded approval. I sat beside them and watched the slow-moving game. “Ever try anything besides checkers?” I asked after a short time, trying to get one of those old story-tellers started. “Nothing like it,” Ed asserted. “Everything else, as I look at it, takes a lot of a man’s time but gets him nowheres. Just to prove this, I’ll tell you about Minnie Richards and the young fellows; you’ll be wanting to hear it anyhow.” And then he started. It used to be that when two young people fell in love they stayed that way for a while. But with all the modern ways, you can't tell which of the six young fel- lows a girl is chasing around with she loves the most. And if you say which girl a young fellow is going to marry three months before the wedding, like as not you’ll get the wrong one. It seems funny to me, as I always used to think love was a pretty serious matter. You remember Minnie Richards, who used to live here. No? Well she was a girl of this modern type and always had a mob of young fellows at her heels. She was a pretty girl, I’ll allow that. Bobbed hair, a lot of color, the Richards’ mouth and chin; that was Minnie. She always was an eligible one for the young fellows, but about the time of the War, she had settled down a bit and was leading only two steadies. ! 109] THE SPECTATOR Dave Gerber and Miles Gaston happened to be these two fellows, and straight, honest, hard-working boys they were, both of them. Where Dave may have had a little better weight, Miles might have passed him a bit in smartness, but where you’d get better matched fellows, I couldn’t say. Dave was a little the stronger, be- cause he was fond of work in the field, while Miles was up on all the books. Both were good-looking lads, and as fine as any that ever grew up. Minnie didn’t seem to be able to pick between the two of them, or perhaps didn't try very hard, and kept on about the same good terms with both; though I expect that she’d say nicer things to each of them alone, than when they were all together. But that’s neither here nor there, for I guess a girl has to take her time deciding—when it comes to fellows; though I can see no excuse for any girl giving en- couragement to a man if she doesn’t mean to be serious about it. The fellows, too, seemed to know it meant a lot to the girl, and didn’t rush her any, though perhaps if they had, she’d have married one of them, and matters would have turned out differently. Then the War came on, and that settled a good many things. We felt the shock of it as much as any place, and it was hard seeing the young fellows prepare for the big trip, and not knowing whether we’d ever see them again. (Do you really mean that. Dunk? There, 1 thought you didn’t.) Where was I, at the War? Well, Dave and Miles were among the first to enlist. Real patriotic they were, and everyone knew they’d look handsome in uniform. We were all sorry to see them leave, for while we knew they’d keep the name of the town proud, they might never come back, or be minus a leg or an eye when they did. It wasn’t long before the time to leave when Dave and Miles started thinking pretty much the same thoughts. And it wasn’t surprising that Dave would talk like he did when he saw Minnie on one of the few remaining nights before he left. “Minnie,” Dave said, “you know that I always did like you a lot, and so did Miles. And from what you’ve said lately. 1 know that you like me better than him. But I want to show that I’m a good sport yet. and although I’ve beaten him out, I know what a dreadful thing war is and how much danger there is of getting killed or wounded; so if I do get hurt I’ll release you from all promises, and you can marry Miles, for I know what an awful thing it would be to be married to a war wreck. I’ll send you a letter if anything happens.” That was some speech, now, and you’d think the hardest creature would be moved by it, and if anything did happen, she never could forget that fellow. Minnie comforted him, and told him he wasn’t going to get hurt, and not to say such dreadful things. She spoke to him quite a while, and Dave went home with a warm word in his heart. Miles Gaston, too, went to see Minnie a few days before he left, and he said to her: “It’s been quite a race between Dave and me, as to who’d win your affec- tion, Minnie, and I can tell that you think a lot of me now. You’ve made your choice, and I’m sure Dave would have no grudge. However, to show that I’m as fair as always, I’ll give Dave a chance yet. I know that there’s going to be a lot [tlO] THE SPECTATOR of risk of getting killed in this war, or of being maimed for life, so if anything should happen, I’ll write a letter and release you from all your promises, and you can marry Dave. I know you’ll always love me, hut I couldn’t stand to marry you if I would be maimed.” Now those were mighty serious words for any man to say, and you'd think that any woman would be so impressed that she would always think of him. And Min- nie told him what nonsense it was to talk that way, and how he wasn’t to worry. So Miles went to his home that evening with pleasant thoughts of love, and of how he was going to marry Minnie when he came back. The time came when the soldiers had to leave. We had a big parade down to the station; people came for miles to see the train leave. When it was time to go, every one was crying, and kissing, and yelling. The whistle blew, everybody waved and shouted goodbye, and in all that noise the train pulled out of the station, with our young fellows. Nobody could imagine what all would happen before we’d sec them again, if ever we would in this life, and we who didn’t go, went home with heavy thoughts. After the young fellows left, all the fun they’d been having about going disap- peared, and we were faced with the thoughts of what awful tragedy war really is, and scarcely a one didn’t go about his work without thinking of the boys most of the time. Rut if you’d think that a thing like war would hold Minnie down, you are mis- taken. ’Twasn’t scarcely any time at all before she had a mob again. True, she couldn’t have fellows her own age, but there were a number just a little older, and there was one man in particular, who came from Philadelphia, and went to see her often. At first we heard a lot from the boys, then they got in the fighting and we were hearing less and less, and what we did hear told of the bad luck they were having. After quite a long wait without word, a letter came for Minnie. It was from Miles, and read: “It is better that we forget all promises, and here are my best wishs for your future happiness with Dave.” Now that message looked like it stood for a great deal, and one would think that Minnie would about bawl her eyes out. Rut she didn’t, and in a few days the mob was as busy chasing her as ever. The news leaked out to us, in some way. and we were all worked up. That was just like Miles, not to say anything about being hurt, though it was easily seen that something terrible must have happened to him. And such a nice-appearing lad he was, too. It didn’t seem possible that we’d some day see Miles in a horrible hurt condition. ’Twasn’t long after that before another letter came for Minnie, and this time it was from Dave. He said: “Forget your promises, and after this war is over, marry Miles. Start writing to him now, and good luck.” That was all, and it showed the plucky spirit of the man. When a few of us got hold of the message we were terribly shocked. Dave always had been such a handsome chap, and to think that he, too, was probably marred for life. Legs gone, maybe, or eyes shot out! Oh, it was just too awful to think about! And those tin] 'I' HE SPE C T A T O R were the last words we had from them, or from any of our hoys, until it was time for them to come home. We could do nothing but sit and imagine what terrible misfortunes they might have suffered, and then pity the unlucky fellows. When 1 say that, I mean most of us, for Minnie Richards didn’t seem to take the messages much to heart, and kept on entertaining her mob. So it didn’t surprise us much when she finally ran away with the Philadelphia man and got married, though it seemed funny that she could really ever make up her mind. But there you are when it comes to the modern ways. Young people seem flighty, nowadays, and that’s why I’m in doubt concerning love today. Who would think that anybody ever could be as faithless as Minnie Richards. Well, as I said before, we heard no news from the young fellows, but we were getting all the newspapers, and we could see from them what was happening at the Front. There were our boys over there, suffering all sorts of things, and here we were enjoying life! And every once in a while we thought of the unfeeling actions of Minnie Rich- ards. We got news from her, and strange to say, she was happy! She wrote that her husband was such a splendid man, and that she liked Philadelphia. Only the thought of how our young fellows would be saved the trouble of chasing her when they returned, caused us to do any thinking about her. (My move. Dunk? All right, there you are.) Well, the next time we heard from the fellows, they were on their way home! We were all rejoiced, and naught but the thought of those two wounded fellows saddened us. But we took up a collection, and intended to give them the rest of their lives easy, you can bet. I don’t believe that there was a soul in the county who didn’t get down to the station that day, to meet the return train. The band was on a platform, and we packed in close to it, with our flags and the flowers we had brought for the wounded. Then the train came swooping in, and there were all our boys, back from the War, back home for good! Gosh, how we yelled and shouted! And we asked for Dave and Miles, and there they were, on the back platform. Now, what do you sup- pose had happened to the sons-on-guns? You’d never guess in a lifetime. There they were, both of them, with their French wives, and nary a bit hurt! Ed broke off abruptly, and concentrated on the board in front of him. “Hmm,” he said in a moment, “Dunk, I guess there’s not much to do. We’d bet- ter call it a draw.” 1112] 1' H E SPECTATOR INCIDENTS OF A VAGABOND TRIP By Marydee Johnson It was seven on a perfect June morning when we heard the last of the neigh- bors’ advice, made the final adjustments, persuaded the dog that the running board was really a delightful place to ride and started—started on our six weeks of wonder- ful vagabondage. Every available space in or on the car was occupied by a Johnson or by some part of Johnson baggage. We resembled nothing so much as an over- loaded moving van. Besides the tribe of eight Johnsons we were carrying every thing from tents and cots to dogs and dolls! The car was a genuine “packed hard,” The nine Johnsons answering roll call that morning were Mother and Dad, myself, the five terrors, Dot. Velma, Rita, Evcly, Junior and the dog Collegiate. Poor Col- legiate! I believe he would have preferred pining for us rather than seeing the country from a running board. It has been our custom since the smallest Johnson has been able to venture abroad to spent at least one month during the summer traveling through the country like wandering gypsies. None of your stuffy hotels or smoky cities for us! We carry our own “private hotel.” Poor old Susy, the car, was headed South this summer morning, headed for Alabama and a summer of good times in the old plantation. We had planned to make as many miles as possible each day, until wc should reach the South and then to travel slowly and camp a few days at each stop. There had been heavy rains in Kansas that year and the rivers and streams that we passed were all swollen and racing madly. We had set the little town of Iola, Kansas, as our destination the first night out, and Susy pulled into the tourists camp there about six in the evening. The spot we chose as our camping site was on a small mound by the river. Under our patented “system” in which everyone from four year old Junior up has something to do, the Johnson menage is established soon after we stop. You who have not camped and helped put up the tents can never know the thrill one experiences as he sees the camp ready for the night; the sleeping tent and cots on one side, the mess tent on the other. If I were a poet I would write a poem about the smell of frying bacon in camp just at dusk with the world a million miles away. On that first night in Iola, we unpacked only a small part of the equipment as we had planned an early start next morning. Soon after the camp supper was over, from Collegiate up, we were ready to “turn in.” Oh, it's something to lie on your cot in camp, listen to the water and the trees and feel deliciously lonely and far away. And it is something more to know that to-morrow and to-morrow and even to-morrow are waiting. It was with thoughts like these that I fell asleep. Sometime early in the morning, I was awakened by a strange rustling sound. I glanced over the side of my cot and saw—water! The whole camp seemed to be swimming in water. I called to Dad in alarm. As he jumped from his cot, he sank 1115] T H E S P E C T A T O R in water almost to his knees. Some of the equipment was already floating away. There was plenty of excitement and action in the next few minutes, for the Johnson tribe were bent on self preservation. The whole family piled into the car, leaving Dad to splash around and throw into the car as many floating things as he could rescue. Collegiate and Junior added to the general confusion by howling in unison. Water in such large quantities didn’t appeal to them. Their howls awakened other tourists and they began shouting advice. Our car was standing on a mound sur- rounded by water, and we were—marooned! Later on we learned that a dam had broken and the water had rushed up into the park. We had an exciting hour get- ting the car through the water which was well over the running board, but with the help of ropes we finally reached a place of safety. But what’s a little dampness to campers? Figuratively speaking we shook the water of Iola from us and pushed on. By the fourth day out we were well into the South where one is greeted with “Wheah you-all from?” The south where everyone seems happy and carefree; where there is an abundance of negroes, but where every darky is overwhelmingly polite; where there are cotton fields and great fragrant pines; long, low houses and great magnolias; where there are flocks of goats and razor back hogs scuttling across the road. One of our most delightful experiences was in ferrying the Mississippi River at Vicksburg. It was Saturday, the gayest day possible for crossing. When we reached the river I was carried away back to the days when “Steamboat Bill, steamin’ down the river” was the favorite tune and when steamboats plied up and down the great river. Even the boat we crossed on. the Nancy Lee, tallied with descriptions I had read. It takes four hours to cross and those four hours were full of enjoyment. The side of the boat reserved for the colored people was crowded with negroes, whole families of them, looking uncomfortable in starches and shoes but supremely happy at so great an adventure. A Southern darky’s idea of heaven, I believe, is a steam boat excursion, a lunch basket and a dozen bananas. There were plenty of negroes in heaven that day. Every one of us was sorry when the whistle blew for the landing, especially the three youngest members of the tribe. They had been serenely playing with half a dozen pickaninnies, regardless of race or color. When discovered they were over-awing the little darkies with marvelous tales of the exploits of our family. One of the last days out was hot and sultry. We were in the most southern part of Mississippi. Seeing a huge oak tree in front of a tumbled-down shack we stopped to enjoy its shade. As we came to a stop, an old negro got up from his cane-bottomed chair on the porch of the shack and shuffled out to greet us. With the love of sociability characteristic of his race, he leaned heavily on the fence and in- quired “wheah we-all was from.” During the conversation that followed we told him of the privileges the negroes enjoy in the North. Instead of wishing that he lived in the North the old man said, “Yas, suh, boss, dem niggahs up Nof might have all dem priv-leges. But,” he added, impressively, “what good am priv-leges when you-all cain’t have no co’ne pone and [11+] THE S I’ E C T A T () R ’lasses? Dem niggahs up Nof might have got themselves gran’ houses to live in, but, boss, 1 sho would prcfah to live in my old shanty in de cotton field to any manshun you all got up Nof! We got priv-legcs and I sho is happy heah! My old ’ooman and the chilluns is hoein,” he added with a wave of his hand toward a near by cotton field. “An I sho would be out mahself but ah’m all stove up. They is fo’teen chillun countin’ little Gladiola. My oldest gal. Petunia, has went to the city and Begonia has lowed she aims to get married. My oldest boy Samuel Abraham Webstah am done drove de mules to de town to-day, but Ah spects him back mos’ anytime.” It was with difficulty that we finally tore ourselves away from the entertaining old man. As we drove off we saw him settling down again on his front gallery “to enjoy his priv-leges.” On the last night out we camped in Mobile, Alabama. Excitement ran high because in a few hours we’d be there—at the old house where all the old folks were waiting for us. We were scrubbed and shined from Collegiate up, and each little Johnson was sternly admonished not to move for fear of getting mussed up. It was just at noon that we bumped over the road, drove up to the gate and heard Zadie, the old cook, shout, “Lawd, folks, they is come!” “And Lawd” but we’re all counting the days until once more we may be vaga- bonds on our way to the South. NIGHT Mary Young Night! Cool, quiet night, Mysterious, yet lovely, Silent, yes, from the noises of the day, Night sounds are different. I stood under cover of night. The wind breathed softly. 1 looked up to the great maples. Their leaves moved softly in the breeze. A baby gave a tiny wail. I heard a far off street car creak in its ties; Then all was again silent. Suddenly out of the darkness I heard a limited gliding swiftly to its destination. 1 saw the stars twinkle in their bed of blue, I watched, and a star crossed the sky. I marvelled at it all, and wished to understand it, But if I could understand night, I would understand God. [115] THE SPECTATOR “FIVE BROTHERS” IN THE MINES F. Roy Jones Deep down in the bowels of the earth men toil, sweat and chew “Five Brothers.” Within those dark, dusty tunnels there is an unwritten law that all those who labor there must chew “Five Brothers” or some other foul smelling, bitter tasting leaf. Among the bosses there is a popular notion, that if a man has a bulky chew between his jaws he can work much better. This idea is based on sound logic. 1 he miner, who by the way regards life rather lightly, takes a chew of the cursed stuff and has to work and sweat to wear off the poison or manifesting feeling that comes over him. If it so happens that he is unable to counteract the effect, then he is doomed to inconceivable distress. One day within those cold, lightless pits, I found myself in just such a predica- ment. A husky chap offered me a chew, which I was inclined to refuse, but rather than incur the contempt of the brawny coal heaver, I accepted his poison. In a few minutes I realized that it was my duty to my ill-treated stomach to work off the effect of my first acquaintance with the “Five Brothers.” I worked, sweat, and worked some more, but all in vain. I was slipping and I knew the results would be disastrous. Cars seemed to be going everywhere and to get nowhere. Men took on strange shapes, and even the gray rats became larger in size and number. Old Mother Earth seemed to be spinning around at an enormous rate of speed with me at the center. The experience was an ordeal that one does not care to go through a second time. After things had cleared a little and I was able to collect my scattered senses, I solemnly swore off chewing. Others have sworn off and have gone back to try a second time. I, not unlike the others, went back and it is needless to say that I met with dismal failure. My faith in the old saying, “Try, try again and you will succeed,” is blasted. I haven’t the heart to try again, for those “Five Brothers” have too much horse power for me. LINDBERGH Robert Morgart Over the breast of the spring, the land, above cities, Amid snow-clad peaks, through clouds, heavy with dew, Up through the heavens he soars; Now lowering down ’neath the sun’s redd’ning beams, Gliding low o’er the white-circled barn, And swiftly runs across the bluish grass, Till we hear the deafening roar no more. [116] THE SPECTATOR THE DUKE OF KILDAIRE William Wesner I was born of noble Irish parents. My father disappeared a few years after I was born and my mother took me and hurried to France. Mother died five years later from a broken heart, leaving me to the care of a Spanish fencing master with whom 1 remained until the time of the French Empire when adventure called me to the cavalry of Emperor Napoleon. After a series of brilliant exploits on the battle fields of France 1 won the command of the Hussars of Charleroi, the hardest fighting, hardest riding, and most loyal brigades of rascals in the Grand Army of France. Later Napoleon sent me on a secret mission to New Orleans. There I had the honor of drawing my sword for the American cause at the Battle of New Orleans. In this engagement I secured the means which discovered and won back my heritage in Ireland, for I turned back the saber cut which would have split the skull of the prince of pirates, Jean La Fitte; and that notorious buccaneer who had swept the Gulf of Mexico free of honest shipping, became my sworn friend. Learning my identity, he offered me passage when he sailed for France to pledge his sword in service of Emperor Napoleon. A bit of rough weather wrecked the rigging of his ship, the Audre, and we were forced to put in at a little island in the Gulf. Entering the cove, we discovered an English ship riding at anchor. To escape was impossible so the pirates promptly grappled with and boarded the other ship. When the engagement came to a close, La Fitte spent a short time in debate with a man who seemed to be in command. He was a direct contrast to the polite, courtly La Fitte. After a short argument the pirates ordered the cannon of the English ship to be tossed overboard and most of the sails slit. Then La Fitte ordered the ship away from the island. As it moved away he turned to me and said: “Treasure hunters. See! here is their chart. The captain offered to stay till we find the treasure. I could not refuse them for it would be discourteous and it will do me good to see him lick his chops when he sees all that yellow gold in our hands. Come, you must meet our guests of honor; the Earl of Stirling and his ward, Madamoiselle Sheila, lately from Ireland.” I did not like the bluster of the Earl but rather admired the beauty and spirit of his ward. Why not? Wasn’t she a fellow countryman? I talked with her, walked with her, and fashioned her a hammock on the quarter deck. She seemed sad and reserved which 1 attributed to her relations with her protector. After a night of close study on the chart which he had forced from the English- man, La Fitte landed on the island accompanied by some of the crew, the Earl and myself. Locating the centre of the island, La Fitte shouted, “Come, my bullies, fall to, and dig until you sight a large rock.” After the men has scooped away a layer of vegetation, they uncovered a large flat rock. Cutting a cane some five feet long, La Fitte planted it in a hole chiseled in [ 7] THE SPECTATOR the rock. Resting a musket across the top of the cane, he fired directly north. The bullet lodged at the base of a royal palm tree two hundred feet away. At his com- mand the pirates fell to digging around the tree where they unearthed a small metal chest and bore it joyfully to the boats, guessing at its contents. As they were about to push off, the Earl, whom no one had missed in the excitement of the hunt, stumbled out of the forest. That night we made merry in the large cabin. The company was made up of La Fitte, the Earl, the French officers and myself; truly a gay party. Through the port hole I could see the moon shimmering on the water and the palms swishing in the breeze. Sounds of boisterous celebration came from the fore-castle, where a keg of rum had been tapped in honor of the event. At La Fitte’s command some of the officers attacked the chest with chisels and hammers. There were loud groans of dismay when the chest disclosed nothing but a roll of yellow papers and a few stones. “As I told you, La Fitte,” rasped out the Earl, “it means nothing to you, but it may mean a duchy for me. Come, my friend! Plenty of good gold and a royal pardon will be yours.” “Presently,” responded La Fitte. “Rut first I must tell you, Messieurs, why 1 have wasted so much time on this wild goose chase for a bit of official paper. Many years ago. I discovered that a man had buried treasure on this island. Rut with a sword point at my throat I promised to forget about it. The gentleman was acting on some official duty so I forgave him and we became friends. Rut, Ventre St. Gris, not long after we were set upon by footpads in New Orleans and someone discharged a pistol full in my friend’s face.” The glass from which the Earl was drinking crashed to the floor. At the same moment a song accompanied by the twanging of a harp drifted in through the port. It was Sheila. Her rich contralto voice rang in a menacing undertone, almost a sob. I listened intently to the Gaelic of old Ireland, for it brought me a warning. It was for me alone; for only I could understand it. As the song came to an end my mind refused to function properly. La Fitte leaped to his feet and exclaimed, “I pledge a toast to the ward of our honored guest, the queen of women.” A rapid exchange of glances between the Earl and the Scotch cook ensued. Then we were handed glasses of sparkling white wine. The cook’s back was toward me and the Earl seemed to be interested in gazing out the port. I pledged the toast hand- somely, poured the wine into my open jacket and threw the glass over my shoulder as the rest had done. “Certes! Rut that wine makes my head spin,” I exclaimed as I slumped forward in my chair. Sheila’s song had fulfilled its purpose and I hadn’t drunk the poisoned wine intended for me. Rut a queer fancy bade me play the part. [118] THE SPECTATOR Suddenly a rough voice broke the silence, “Rest easy. One more and you four dogs will die. A pistol apiece you know, eh, cookie!’’ It was the Englishman. “Right,” answered the cook, “I got the two frogs at this end of the table covered.” “La Fitte, I enjoyed your little tale immensely. Now I will finish it. It was I who killed the Duke of Kildaire or Michael O’Malley, the father of our little Irish fire eater here. He was sent by King George to hide this chest safely but I se- cured the chart. His family was driven from Ireland by a royal decree. Now I have but to present the chest and I shall become Duke of Kildaire.” I was paralyzed by the facts disclosed by the Englishman. “I forgot to mention that two English men-of-war will enter this harbor at the stroke of twelve and catch you like rats. I arranged with them today while you were digging up this chest for me.” “Stirling, you dog, you’ve poisoned the lad. Mon Dieu, I shall appeal to your king if it is the last thing 1 do,” threatened La Fitte. “Softly. A soldier in the uniform of our greatest enemy would receive too much attention and my little plan might be discovered. You frogs will die immedi- ately from the yardarm, but he would be saved.” A red mist covered my eyes and my veins became liquid fire. I leaped toward him. His pistol exploded but the balls whistled through my hair. I whipped out my rapier and forced him. He cowered like a cornered animal. He wove all his skill into a close defense but his thrust went wide and my sword passed through his body with its hilt resting against his breastbone. At the same time La Fitte, tossing a bloody knife aside, sprang from the motionless form of the cook and cried, “There is yet time. Pipe the crew, douse all lights. Everyone to the rigging. Weigh anchor. Load every gun. Quick now; let’s be up and away!” We sprang to the deck. The sails were unfurled and the ship moved forward silently. The moon had disappeared behind a cloud as the Audre slipped through the narrow channel between the two English warships. We were none too soon. A terrible broadside crashed into the ships on either side of us as a stiff breeze carried us out of the range of their guns. Behind us the blundering Englishmen were pouring volleys into each other. Ahead lay the open ocean and freedom. “Dirty work,” exclaimed La Fitte. He turned away as Sheila stepped from the shadow of the cabin into the light of the moon. Her oval face with its regular features relaxed as a haunting look of fear disappeared. Her hair glinted in the moon light and her full red lips were parted wistfully. Bowing low over her hand I proclaimed gallantly, [119] THE SPECTATOR “Madamoiselle, with my whole heart 1 thank you for my deliverance. My life is yours for the asking; for it flew on the wings of your song.” “To save you was duty and pleasure,” she replied. “But I have killed the Earl!” “Ah! By ridding me of him you did me great service. He hounded me in hopes of gaining my domain.” “Would that I might protect you forever. It is my duty by right and might.” The quivering of her finger tips, as I took her hand in mine, gave me hope that my love was not in vain. Then truly my hopes ran high, for on the cabin table lay the chest which would win back my family honor and heritage, in my pocket reposed a commission in the Grand Army of France which would bring me a career and perhaps fame, and my suit had won favor in the eyes of the exquisite Sheila. What more could a man ask? SOLITUDE Ronald Daugherty I think that I should like to go Where bells don’t ring or whistles blow, Where there’s neither noise nor bustle, And people do not have to hustle. I’d like to go where the only sounds Are made where Nature, lone, abounds; Where gentle whisperings of the trees Mix with the humming of the bees. Where brooks in babbling over stones Make strange, yet soft and soothing tones, Where squirrels play, and herds of deer Travel quietly far and near. This, to you, may well seem crude, But as for me,—it’s solitude. [120] THE SPECTATOR NOISES Dorothy Hampton Oh, the lashing of the water, Laughing, lapping water, Dancing, dripping water, Flashing, splashing water, Soaring, pouring water! Scold or laugh, but still I hear Echoing of summer’s noises. Oh, the swaying of the trees, Creaking limbs in the chilly breeze! Oh, the singing and the sighing, As the grev-brown leaves are flying Midst the whisper and the whistle Of the wind-blown autumn drizzle! Noises, noises, yes I hear A score of autumn’s noises. Oh, the wind, Whizzing, whipping wind, Tweaking, squeaking wind, Moaning, groaning wind, Whirring, spinning wind, Mocking, fleeting wind, Shriek or sob, but still I hear The dreadful wintry noises.

The work has been under the direction of Rauch Cover as editor-in-chief; Marion Reitz as associate editor; Dorothy Bowman and Max McFeatcrs, literary editors. The business management has been under the leadership of Robert McGraw and Lucille Platt. Miss Ulery was the general adviser; Miss Gocher, business adviser, and Miss Wissler, art director. 1125] THE SPECTATOR THE REALM OF THE HIGH SCHOOL In choosing a theme for our year book we have taken the achievements of the high school as a two year unit. Our class is the first group to complete the two years of work under the new 6-4-2 plan. We began these last two years with high hopes of everything that a new building, splendid equipment and fine supervision could offer. Experiments in organizations and in the work of the various departments have been tried. In these experiments the members of our class have taken an active part and from the results they have derived lasting benefits. We recognize these achievements as due largely to the efficient and admir- able administration of our principal and the work of the faculty, who have directed our activities. Our yearbook records in concise form the outstanding features of these years. In it we have pictured views of the building, showing examples of the splendid archi- tecture; we have compiled a chronological record including everything of importance that has taken place during the past two years; we have presented delightful bits of writing from the class; we have given pictures of the different organizations and write-ups explaining them; we have shown humor through picture and clever writ- ings. All of these in a way illustrate the activities in which we, as a class, have taken part. We have developed initiative through the opportunities offered to us in every line of work; and we, the class of 1928, sincerely hope that after we leave the realm of the high school we shall be able to go out into the world and be of a benefit to it. W. R. C. “KNOWLEDGE IS POWER; POWER IS SUCCESS” We wonder whether the wise ones who submitted the mottoes for the class chose the above because the idea of knowledge, power and success captured their fancy. The words do arrest our attention. In one form or another we have met them all our lives. We do not all think of success in the same terms, nevertheless success is our goal. The question is, how much have we as a class done through knowledge to gain power that will bring the coveted success? What have we accomplished in our studies which will give us information? Will that information prove a source of power in further education whether we gain our education in higher institutions of learning or in business and industrial life. We have chosen a fitting motto. The world demands definite knowledge. In business, in the professions, and in industry, knowledge manifests itself as power. The man who knows and is able to use his knowledge is successful. We have chosen a fitting motto. The world demands definite knowledge. Are we to go out into the world with the knowledge that will give us power that will bring us success? How much of that power have we gained? We hope to prove that we have a greater share than our principal and teachers give us credit for, and that in the untried future we may attain through knowledge and power a fair measure of real success. M. R. [126] THE SPECTATOR AN APPRECIATION In reviewing our activities and achievements of these two years, we realize our indebtedness to our class sponsers, Miss Mary D. Glenn and Miss Clarissa Hills. To them, we as a class, wish to express our gratitude for their services which have brought about success as well as the pleasant relations that have existed in our High School work. With regard to the “Spectator”, the staff wish to thank the members of the class who have so willingly given their time and material in helping to issue this book. However, the material contributed would not have been in such a presentable form had it not been for the guiding criticisms and advice of Miss Katharine Ulery, M iss Jessie Wissler, and Miss Alice Gocher. Not only the staff, but the entire class wish to extend their most sincere appreciation to these, our “Spectator” advisers for all that they have done in making this book a true product of our two years in Senior High. 1127] And, now with quickened step, all hurry into THE SPECTATOR BASKETBALL SEASON Johnstown did not experience so successful a cage season as desired although the Blue and Black quintette defeated some of the strongest teams of the year. The team played eighteen games, winning six and losing twelve. The score of the opposing teams totaled 587 while the points of our school team amounted to 523. The new letter men for this semester are: Fred Abdalla, Ellsworth Kunkle, Reed Irwin, John Price. Dean Bittner, Captain Siehl, Cecil Foster and Manager Edward Drycorn. [130] THE SPECTATOR GAMES Johnstcwn—19 Junior College—27 J. H. S. Gymnasium—January 10 Although the “Johnnies” showed good form in passing, and made more field goals than the opposing team, the Junior College assumed the lead in the beginning and was never threatened until the last quarter when a rally was cut short by the timekeeper’s whistle. Johnstown—35 Altoona Apprentices—41 J. H. S. Gymnasium—January 13 The “engine makers” displayed a well coached, easy moving cage machine. Each team, playing its best, found the first half ended with a score of 26—26. At the end of the third quarter the points totaled 35—31 in favor of the Apprentices who were uncertain of their ability to retain this lead. During the last quarter the Altoona lads made a sudden spurt and froze the ball which resulted in their victory. Johnstown—42 Dale—28 J. H. S. Gymnasium—January 16 This was the first victory of the season for the Blue and Black passers. The entire team played as one man although “subs” were frequently sent in during the last half. Johnstown—28 Femdale—22 J. H. S. Gymnasium—January 23 The second string men started the game and stayed on the floor until the score became 12—7 in favor of the visitors when the varsity crew was sent in. At the end of the first half the score was 12—10 and at the end of the third quarter 18—13 in favor of Johnstown. The home team continued to run up the score until the end of the game. Johnstown—14 Altoona—39 Altoona—January 27 In this encounter Coach Peden’s team suffered the worst defeat of the season. Altoona showed superior basketball during the entire game. Smith starred for Al- toona, scoring 14 points. [131] THE SPECTATOR VARSITY CLUB The Varsity Club which is composed of the letter men reorganized and elected their officers: President, Roger Spence; Vice President, Walter Leibfreid; Secretary, Matthew Siehl; Treasurer, Lewis Meyers; Sergeant-at-Arms, Robert Goff. To be a member of the Varsity Club, the player must have a letter in football, basketball or track. The club aims to promote better spirit in high school athletics. The new members of the club for this semester are Robert Boring, Hite Lam- bert, Collins Haire, Matthew Siehl, Robert Goff, Roger Spence, Lewis Meyers, Reed Irwin, Wayne Rice, William Galliker, Walter Leibfreid, John Price, and Harry Sloan. [152] THE SPECTA T O R Johnstown—39 Catholic High—24 J. H. S. Gymnasium—January 31 The Red and Gold squad easily led the first half of the game, ending with a score of 15—13. At the beginning of the second half however the “Johnnies” began to receive the tip off and succeeded in running up their score until the game ended. Each team made many fouls. Johnstown—27 Westmont—28 Westmont—February 3 By a one point margin the Westmont team secured their biggest victory of the season. The Johnstown team was in a slump during the entire game and “could not get going.” Johnstown—34 Portage—45 J. H. S. Gymnasium—February 7 Portage displayed a speedy and easy moving team while the locals suffered from inability to get the tip off. During the second half the game was nip and tuck but the home team could not overcome the former lead. Johnstown—32 Windber—35 J. H. S. Gymnasium—February 10 During the first half, each team struggled for a noticeable lead. The second half proceeded much the same way until Windber forged ahead and kept a three point margin. Johnstown—34 Hollidaysburg—45 J. H. S. Gymnasium—February 14 The Hollidaysburg team set the pace and kept it throughout the game. The locals who were much smaller in stature could not successfully break through the op- posing defense. Johnstown—34 Westmont—18 J. H. S. Gymnasium—February 17 The Johnstown team entered the game with the determination to win because of the one point defeat by Westmont earlier in the season. The Johnstown offense was particularly good. 1133] THE SPECTATOR Johnstown—34 Portage—35 Portage—February 21 Johnstown struggled hard to receive the tip off, but failed repeatedly. The winners were handicapped by the loss of Captain Steinbach. Siehl starred for Johns- town, making seven field goals. Johnstown—26 Dale—29 Dale—February 24 The high school players unused to a small floor and unable to get the tip off, did not make much progress during the first half. The third quarter ended 26—26 with the excitement tense and the din deafening. During the last quarter Dale made two successful throws, a foul and a field goal, winning the game by three points. Johnstown—14 Catholic High—31 Cochran Gymnasium—February 28 The Red and Gold team, profiting by their knowledge of the floor, were super- ior in their shooting and defense. The Johnstown team scored only at the free throw line. Johnstown—23 Altoona—22 J. H. S. Gymnasium—March 2 The varsity crew was replaced by the second team during the second quarter which ended 17—16 in favor of Altoona. Helped by the free throws on account of fouls committed, the reserve team steadily crept up and finally won the game by one point. Johnstown—18 Hollidaysburg—34 J. H. S. Gymnasium—March 6 The Hollidaysburg team put up a stone wall defense and an equally good of- fense. In the third quarter our team gave them a scare, but failed to complete the rally. Hughes starred for Hollidaysburg and Varner for Johnstown. Johnstown—35 Femdale—18 J. H. S. Gymnasium—March 9 Throughout the entire game the Johnstown team played the better basketball. Each team gained a number of points on foul throws.

A part of the group will receive certificates showing completion of work at Commencement, June 1. [141] THE SPECTATOR VOCATIONAL BOYS, TERMS VII AND VIII These boys have had definite training leading towards skill in one of the trades. [142] THE SPECTATOR STUDENT COUNCIL The student government organization is the Student Council, made up of repre- sentatives elected by the students from each Home Room. The chief duty of the council is to set before the student body ideals of good Christian character and cit- izenship not in words only, but in deeds. The members individually are responsible to the council for the good citizenship of the pupils in the various home rooms. Members of the council act as representatives at meetings of the civic organizations of the city, thus securing co-operation between the community and the High School. The present officers for 1928 are: Walter Leibfreid, President; Dorothy Bow- man, Vice President; Eleanor Cauffiel, Secretary; and Edward Ciolob, Treasurer. [143] THE SPECTATOR “BLUE AND BLACK” STAFF The staff of the “Blue and Black” consists of fifty-three members of various terms. With Elizabeth Peat as editor-in-chief, an able and efficient one, the paper has been interesting not only to our school but to our exchanges, several of whom have used the “Blue and Black” as a model. The publication under the supervision of Miss Mary I). Glenn as literary ad- viser and Mr. Farrell as general adviser, appears twice a month, and the issues are printed in the High School Print Shop. [1+4] THE SPECTATOR THE LIBRARY STAFF The Library Staff was organized this semester under the name of “The Jewel Box,’’ each member being known as a “Jewel.” The work which the staff accom- plished was a series of articles on “The Evolution of Books.” These articles are to be kept for future reference work. There are ten members of this club. The officers are: Colletta Rhoades, President; Clare McCleester, Secretary; and Meredith Miller, Treasurer. Miss Elizabeth S. Hogc, the librarian, ably directed the club in its work. [ 1+5 J THE SPECTATOR THE HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA Under the direction of Mr. Wright the orchestra played at many public perform- ances. An unusual honor came to two of our players. James Hosmer, flutist, and Howard Kress, cellist, were selected to represent Johnstown High School at the Chicago Annual Musical Conference. James Hosmer, by competitive examination, won the honor of being first chair flutist in the National High School Orchestra which played at the Conference. « [146] THE SPECTATOR THE HIGH SCHOOL BAND These young musicians are proud of themselves. One of the outstanding things which the band has done this semester was preparing for the State and National Band Contests. In the State Contest the Band won the championship. The National Contest does not occur until after the Spectator goes to press, but good wishes fol- low the band to joliet. The organization is under the direction of Prof. Ralph Wright. [147] THE SPECTATOR GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB Among the various activities represented in our High School, is the Girls’ Glee Club, composed of one hundred and fifteen members. Owing to the popularity of the organization there is always a waiting list. No night work is required, no tests are given, but each girl receives one-tenth per cent credit at the close of the semester. The girls, and their leader, Miss Mary Weaver, have appeared in public on several occasions and have shown their ability and training. [1481 T H E S 1’ E C T A T O R BOYS’ GLEE CLUB The Boys’ Glee Club is one of the musical organizations of the High School. There are approximately fifty boys who have elected this activity. This organization is called upon to sing before the Service Clubs and other organizations of the city. M iss Mary Weaver has the direction of the Club.

The Monday meetings were given over to developing films and those on Tuesday were devoted to printing pictures and to talks on the fine points of photography. The officers of this enterprising club are: President, Robert Brownlee; Secretary. Carl Hoover. The sponser is Miss Modes, the teacher of physics. [151] THE SPECTATOR THE BUSINESS SERVICE CLUB In September, the Business Service Club was organized. The membership in- cludes forty-six upper term commercial girls who have high class standing. The aim of the club is to acquaint the students with such work as is expected in the bus- iness world; consequently the members do stenographic work for the faculty or for any authorized school organization requiring such service. The club is under the direction of Miss Gocher and Miss Bollinger, as sponsers, and the officers, who are: Betty Head, President; Edna Lasta, Vice President; Helen Link, Secretary; Marg- aret Grady, Treasurer.

L15 3 ] THE SPECTATOR THE GIRL RESERVES The Girl Reserves of the Y. W. C. A. has been one of the popular organiza- tions in the high school. There are forty-five members in the club. The officers are: President, Betty Young; Vice President, Martha Jane Goughenour; Secretary, Margaret Grady; Treasurer, Dorothy Ressler. “Gracious in manner; ready for service” was borne out in their ushering at the school affairs. They were especially “ready for service and dependable” when the call for supplies for the needy miners came. Every Monday at 4:15 o’clock, this group meets at the Y. W. C. A. under the capable sponser, Miss Ida Hawman. [154] THE SPECTATOR THE HI-Y CLUB The Hi-Y Club, with a membership of thirty-five, is under the affiliation of the Y. M. C. A. The purpose of this club is for building up the boy’s character and ability as a leader. The officers for the past semester were: President, Robert McGraw; Vice Presidents, Stanley Stephens and Homer Ressler; Secretary, Robert Hershey; Treasurer, Robert Bowman; Sponser. Mr. Baumgardner of the Faculty. [155] Now let us laugh and be merry in THE SPECTATOR Kodak Pictures SOME FUTURE STENOG3. JUST TERM XU'S COULD FORD BE BACKING THEM? 407 GAXK3 E.WO. CLUB PITTSBURGH GANG [158] THE SPECTATOR DONT’S FOR THE YOUNG AND INNOCENT (Simple helpful hints that can he mastered by fifteen minutes study each day) Do you want to become a dignified senior before many years have passed? If you do. I will let you in on some secrets which will help you to become as great a success as all the Term XII’s. Pay close attention and let your conscience be your guide. 1. Don’t ever get to the entrance of the school before 8:29, because Miss Young is greatly opposed to students reporting early. 2. Don’t walk out of Library without permission. Miss Hoge will page you. 3. Don’t hide behind counters at Charlie Campbell’s, for Mr. L'ggctt may have lost his collar button and he is sure to look in the place that he is least likely to find it. 4. Don’t talk during Assembly. Mr. Killius is able to describe faces and loca- tions very accurately. 5. Don’t make too strong a difference between your opinion and that of the teachers, for you must remember it is they who mark down the A’s. 6. Don’t write notes; take the seniors for example, they never do. 7. Don’t talk too loudly in the halls. Miss Walter, Miss Tomb, and even Mr. Killius are on the lookout for people with strong voices. 8. Don’t chew gum while reciting, most teachers think you cannot do two things at once and do them well. 9. Don’t borrow your friend’s Algebra problems. Mistakes alike call forth Mr. Todd’s opinions. 10. Last, (very important), don’t under any circumstances, be rude to the seniors, for they have the power of life and death over all poor mortals like you underclassmen. This helpful advice has been contributed by the courtesy of Drudging Don't HELPFUL HINTS TO THOSE WHO NEED GUIDANCE 1. Go to bed before 9:00 o’clock so you will be fresh and bright in the morn- ing. The seniors do—sometimes. 2. Come to school with a bright smile for everyone and a cheerful Good morning.” 3. Give not less than three hours to your lessons at home if you wish to make so thrilling a record as we seniors have made. 4. Take your song books to Assembly. You might be the lucky one whom Mr. Killius will choose to sing a solo. 5. Go to Charlie Campbell’s when you cut a period. It’s a safe place. [159] THE SPECTATOR 6. Always wear clean gym suits and give Mr. Teeter the pleasure of seeing you lie on the clean (?) floor to do calisthenics. 7. Always chew gum in class; this gives you an air of distinction among the teachers. 8. Try to look intelligent in the sight of the teachers. (Long practice will do it.) 9. Always ride the elevator; it is for your use—if the janitor doesn’t sec you. 10. Always wear dark neckties if you want to be different from the other sheiks. Advice by Always Alert.

In contradistinction there- to, absence of loyalty is one of the most despic- able of the failures of human character. Loyalty to family and friends is a common enough impulse. Loyalty to school is con- stantly exemplified by student bodies. But how many give thought to loyalty to the community in which they live? What higher form of pat- riotism can we exemplify than loyalty to our community, for it naturally follows that we will then be true to our country. We invite the sympathetic interest and co- operation of Johnstown students in our effort to awaken in our people a spirit of civic pride and community loyalty such as will make Johnstown a finer city in which to live. nvn Chamber Commerce [175] THE SPECTATOR I COMPLIMENTS OF McGra.w Bros.
