t ♦ THE SPECTATOR OF JOHNSTOWN HIGH SCHOOL JOHNSTOWN PENNSYLVANIA PUBLISHED BY SENIOR CLASS 1929 DEDICATION TO the memory of Joseph Johns and other early pioneers, and to the men and women of later years who contributed to the advancement of our city, we the class of nineteen hundred and twenty-nine, dedicate this our Spectator. CONTENTS JOHNSTOWN THROUGH PICTURE AND STORY THE ADMINISTRATION THE CLASS LITERARY EDITORIALS ATHLETICS ORGANIZATIONS HUMOR ADVERTISEMENTS FOREWORD E, the Class of nineteen hundred and twenty- nine, publish this book that our history may become a part of the annuals of our high school. Since we are also a part of the city and it is the center of our interests, we have chosen as our theme, the Spirit of Johnstown. In develop- ing the theme we have tried to show a little of this spirit as it animated the Johnstown of long ago. ind as it influences the Johnstown of today. OUR THEME THE SPIRIT OF JOHNSTOWN AN APPRECIATION In compiling this department of our hook it became necessary to make a wide search for ma- terial. This task was greatly lightened by the ready response to our inquiries for pictures and cuts of Old Johnstown. Those who so willingly aided us in our quest for information are Mr. Dwight Roberts, Air. IV. F. Cleaver, Mr. Cramer City Clerk, Mr. Fred Krebs, Air. David Barry, the Schubert Printing Company, and the Chamber of Commerce. IVe wish to acknowledge our in- debtedness to these people who greatly contributed to the subject matter and to the valuable pictures and cuts found in our book. ■i—--. 1|£ THE SPECTATOR THE FOUNDER OF JOHNSTOWN Polly Barnhart The name Shantz is probably unfamiliar to many of us, but when the German name Shantz is changed to Johns we have a name which every Johnstowner knows and respects. Joseph Johns was not the first white man who attempted settlement in Cambria County. At the date of his coming in 1793, there existed three small villages, Ebensburg, Loretto, and Beulah. More than twenty years earlier, the Adams family, two brothers and a sister, occupied and improved land in what is now Seventh ward. It was a period of Indian troubles. The Adamses repeatedly fled for protection to one or other of the nearby forts at Bedford, Ligonier, or Fort Palmer, and it was in encounters with hostile Indians that both Samuel Adams and his sister Rachel lost their lives. Although the Adams family established no permanent settlement, they left their impress upon the vicinity in the names of Sam’s Run, Solomon’s Run, and Ben’s Creek; and in the name of a hill beyond Geistown, known as Rachel’s Hill. The imperfect records of that pioneer period leave the dates of the activities of this family in doubt. Quite as unfortunate is the indefiniteness of the dates in Joseph Johns’s life, for neither the date of his birth nor that of his death can be proved by documentary evidence. The inscription upon his tombstone reads Joseph Johns Died Jan. 18, 1810 Aged 60 yr. 2 mo. 10 d. This makes the date of his birth 1794. However, a deed later disclosed the fact that he sold property during March, 1812; and the papers of administration for his estate were not issued until May, 1813. A possible error was admitted by his grandson, Joseph Johns, III, because the marker was not erected until many years after the death of Joseph Johns. We know, however, that this Joseph Johns was a man of German descent, and a pioneer such as at that time came from Switzerland and the Palatinate. Un- certainty again arises when we try to determine the date of his arrival in America, since there were several persons bearing the same name who immigrated within a few years of each other. According to family tradition, Joseph and his sister Veronica came to this country together. Of their first few years in America we know little, except that they lived in Berks County where Veronica met and mar- ried Joseph Crisner. The couple later came to Somerset County where they settled. Joseph Johns, while in Berks County married Miss Veronica Holly. They, too, moved to Somerset County where Shantz bought a farm near Berlin. In 1793 lie sold this farm to buy from James McLcnahan land at the confluence of the [7] THE SPECTATOR ____________ Conemaugh and Stonycreek Rivers. This land, called the “Campbell Tract,” Charles Campbell had secured through a government land patent after the territory had been opened to white settlers. On this tract much of the present city of Johns- town is now situated. It included the first three, and parts of the Fourth, Ninth, Tenth and Thirteenth Wards. At the same time Johns bought the “Henry Wise” tract, now part of the Twelfth Ward and then a dense forest; for, as late as 1823, the portion west of Market and Vine Streets was still wooded. Shantz built his house near the corner of Vine and Levergood streets in 1793, and was busy for the next several years clearing tracts of land to be laid out in a plan for his future town. In the Somerset County Courts on November 4, 1800, he recorded the charter for his village, Conemaugh Old Town. In this charter his name appears as Joseph Johns. The charter contained provisions many of which have had lasting effects. The Market Place, all public highways, streets and alleys were to be free to the citizens forever. Two lots, one on Market Street and the other on Chestnut Street, were to be given for the erection of public schools and houses of public worship. A plot of not less than one acre was to be used as a place of burial for the inhabitants. This is now known as Union Park. The square on Main Street was to be used for a court house, for Johns hoped that Conemaugh Old Town might become the county seat. And lastly, the strip of land called the Point was set aside for free public amusement forever. In 1807 Johns sold his Johnstown property; in 1805 he moved to a farm in Conemaugh Township where he spent the rest of his life. When he died he left no will so his property was disposed at a public sale. Joseph Johns II acquired it November 3, 1813, and it remained in his possession until a year before his death when he conveyed it to his son Joseph Johns III for the sum of twenty-five hundred dollars. Even to-day the land is in the hands of the Johns family. a W'.'.j-a' - Ti. , w7: The Home of Joseph Johns Built near the corner of Vine and Levergood streets [8] THE SPECTATOR 3 PICTURES OF EARLY JOHNSTOWN Frances Witt Joseph Johns, the founder of Johnstown, was a man of business ability and foresight, who looked ahead to see his settlement become the county capital and be- cause of that he put into the organization of Johnstown all that he had. It is interesting to note that today after more than one hundred years the plan of the business part of our city follows the original plan of Conemaugh Old Town. The charter for the town, received on November 4, 1800, stated that the town contained one hundred and forty-one lots, ten streets, six alleys and one market square. The main streets were known as Washington, Main, Vine, Chestnut, Market and Franklin streets. By an act of the State Legislature, Conemaugh Borough was in- corporated on January 12, 1831, and three years later the name was changed to Johnstown in honor of its founder, Johns. Our present Central Park, which was reserved for a Court House, consisted of lots 49, 50, 51, and 52. The plot was originally 264 feet square, but on the laying out of side walks it was reduced to 240 feet square. In earlier days the Square was used for public meetings, circus performances, and a playground. Here it was that Dan Rice and Van Amburg brought their circuses, until the ground was not large enough for the exhibitions. The first circus in Johnstown was on the Public Square [’] THE SPECTATOR 3gdg| Johnstown In 1840 From Sherman Day's Recollections of Sketches of Pennsylvania” in 1833. Also, here it was that the fakirs who came to town brought their wares. In 1872, the Square was laid out by a landscape gardener, and made a beauty spot. In the summer of 1890, a year after the Flood, it was again laid out as a park, and since that time has been controlled by the Park Commission. The study of the picture representing Johnstown in 1840, shows how slow the progress of the town really was; for foryt years after Joseph Johns recorded the charter for his settlement, Johnstown was still a mere village with a population of 949. The accompanying picture showing the Express Office, National Bank and Chris- tian Church, which were built on what is now known as Park Place, portrays the character of the business houses in very early Johnstown, as it also shows the mode of transportation by means of low sleds and horses.

In the white frame building beyond the Mansion House the Tribune was first published in 1853 V H THE SPECTATOR ME JOHNSTOWN IN THE DAYS OF THE CANAL James Dravis The construction of the Pennsylvania Canal changed the City of Johnstown from an agricultural community to an important business center. The canal system, completed about 1832, included a canal with locks and dams from Pittsburgh to Johnstown; a portage railroad from Johnstown to Hollidaysburg; a canal from Holli- daysburg along the Susquehanna to Columbia, and a railroad from Columbia to Philadelphia. The canal was started and controlled by the State, and later sold to the Pennsyl- vania Railroad Company. It was built with a width of twenty-four feet and a depth of five feet. On each side was an eight foot runway for the horses or mules. To keep the standard depth of five feet, there were locks to lower or raise the boats from one level to another. West of the mountains there were two important basins on the canal, one at Pittsburgh, and the other at Johnstown. The water for the basin and section of the canal near Johnstown was furnished by the dam on the Little The Aqueduct At Johnstown This aqueduct crossed the Little Coneinaugh at the rear of the Wood, Morrell and Company (now the Penn Traffic) store [15] The Weighlock At Johnstown This weighlock was on the north side of the canal at the entrance to the Basin about one hun- dred and fifty feet below Clinton Street, and Immediately below the bridge that connected the Island with the town Conemaugh River, Suppes Dam on the Stonycrcek, and the South Fork Dam. It was the South Fork Dam which was the cause of the great tragedy in 1889, the flood which cost more than 2,200 lives and destroyed the city. The basin at Johnstown was semi-circular. It commenced at the packet slip at Canal (now Washington) and Clinton Streets. It covered portions of what are now Third, Ninth and Tenth wards, between Clinton and Railroad Streets on the west and south, and Five Points, and Portage Street on the east and north. The portion of land between the Rasin and the Little Conemaugh River from Five Points to the waste weir at the overhead bridge was known as “The Island.” The waste weir at the entrance of the basin and under the bridge was 100 feet in width, and from the waste weir to the aqueduct in the rear of what is now Penn Traffic Store was known as Goose Island. The weighlock was on the north side of the canal at the entrance to the Basin about 150 feet below Clinton Street and below the bridge which connected the “Island” with the town. Here all the boats were weighed. The boats were pushed THE SPECTATOR , 1'6] SP EC TAT OR The Old Portage Tunnel The tuniu‘1 was ut through the rock at the top of Plane No. 1. about four miles above Johusfown.

The boat then rested on the frame of the scales where it was weighed. After the weighing was finished, the water gates were lowered and the water was let into the lock until it again became level with the canal. There were two types of boats on the canal, the section boats and boats of one piece. The boats of one piece were unloaded and the cargo was carried up the Por- tage Railroad in flat cars; the other boats were taken up in sections. The Allegheny Portage Railroad which commenced at Five Points at the upper end of the Basin was thirty-six miles long and had ten levels and eleven inclines. The boats were carried to the top of each incline by a stationary engine. From there they were pulled to the next incline by mules or horses. About 1835 the horses or mules on the Portage were supplanted by locomotives, the first of which was the “Boston.” This engine could pull ten cars up the steepest grade. The introduction of the locomotive even- tually meant the abandoning of the canal. The average time for the round trip of a section boat between Pittsburgh and Philadelphia was about three weeks. This included time of loading, unloading, tie-up [17] THE SPECTATOR M« Bridge No. 6 Ox The Pennsylvania Railroad Situated near the Old Portage Tunnel, and in sight of the tunnel , ff Jrs ' mt 7 c u- IHS K fa t 0V ,St o t f J tSr fo tr J - c $1 CiCC4t C ct iftirf C — L. 2 ? $ t d to 22 %}£ : { 'U - A Receipt For Services — A, - - Jfc I A. • r % THE SPECTATOR :. Efw-' JB The Viaduct This high single spau eighty-foot arch over the Little Conemuugh about eight miles above .Johns- town was built iu 1.833. Later it was used bv the Pennsylvania Railroad for its double tracks. It was destroyed by the Flood in 1889 on Sunday and often tie-ups to allow the crew to go to country dances or other merry making along the route. Seven days were a quick trip for a passenger between Pitts- burgh and Philadelphia. It is interesting to know that in operating the canal boats, each crew consisted of five men: the captain, boatswain, pilot, and two drivers. From the drivers to the captain, each had his special work. Each driver tried to train his mules better than the mules of another driver, and tried to make the longest trips in the shortest time. The drivers had two or more mules or horses, which they worked in relays, the average time for the relay being six hours. The horses or mules not on duty were carried in the bow of the boat. Each driver knew the different traits of his mules and often sang to them the songs of the time. The captain took pride in the appearance of his boat, the courtesy of his crew, and the speed and regularity of the trips. The packet boats usually had some sort of amusement. Sometimes one of the crew could play an instrument or perform tricks; and many times the passengers amused themselves with cards, stories, or dancing on the roof of the cabin. Younger couples often sat on the benches watching the moon or listening to the crooning voice of the driver as he sang to his long-eared charges; and there are tales to the effect that many a romance started on these boats.

A Bill For Services Rendered the 1‘orthRe Rnilroad by John V. Geary, afterwards «inertior of Pennsylvania In the early years of the canal the locks were in the care of keepers. These keepers usually had lodges by the locks. These lodges became the meeting places of the people of the surrounding community, and were often the scenes of corn husking and apple butter making. The lodge was a good place of refuge from storms. A stranger was always welcome, for to the keepers, strangers meant new tales and in- teresting adventures. But soon after the Pennsylvania Railroad Company bought the canal the lock keepers were removed. As the canal ceased to be profitable, the railroad drew more and more of the business and the canal was discontinued about 1863. During the time the canal was in operation, Johnstown, because of its position at the beginning of the portage, was the scene of great activity. Besides the transfer of goods from canal to railroad, or vice versa, the boats carried pig iron, coal and some manufactured goods from the growing city westward, and brought back mer- chandise and building materials. The wharf was the meeting place of passengers and townspeople awaiting the incoming and outgoing boats and trains. There were often from twenty to forty boats in the basin at one time. Today all traces of the route of the canal through the city have disappeared and the great basin where the [20] lW THE SPECTATOR The Head Ok Plane No. 6, Old Portage Railroad Tho hoad of this plane was at the top of the mountain east of Cresson. From Johnstown on the west to the top of the mountain there were live planes and six levels: from the top of the mountain to Hollldaysburjr there were five planes and five levels boats were moored and freight was transferred is the site of buildings of the Gautier Department of Bethlehem Steel Company. We think of transportation in the terms of the railroad and the automobile. It is true that the railroad offers speed, efficiency and luxury, but it does not inspire the traveler with a spirit of comradeship. The passengers on the train have neither the time nor the opportunity to mingle in the leisurely fashion that was part of the charm of travel on the canal described as, “A placid, even stream whose traffic ran quietly, softly, lazily.” [21] 7HE SPECTATOR ,. . INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT Frances Witt At the time when Joseph Johns received a charter for Conemaugh Old Town, tfie only profitable industry, outside of actual farming, was the building of .flat boats, and the operation of the same when the water was of sufficient volume in the streams. These boats were used mainly to transport iron to Pittsburgh. Many warehouses were built along the north side of the Stonycreek for receiving and sending out goods. One of the most important warehouse owners was Isaac Proc- tor, who also owned a store on the corner of Main and Franklin streets. It is interesting to note from Mr. Proctor’s account books the prices of some of the most important commodities. According to his accounts, coffee, pepper and ginger sold for fifty cents per pound, and salt for five dollars per pound. There were only two sawmills in the early history of Johnstown. The one was the Horner Mill, situated on Solomon’s Run, owned and operated by John Horner, who built his mill in the fall of 1797. The other was Jacob Stutzman’s mill on Cheney’s Run and built about 1792. These sawmills were used to make lumber for buildings and boats. About 1810 the first grist mill was built. The construction of the Pennsylvania Canal, finished in 1832 opened an era of prosperity, because Johnstown became one of the most important ports on the canal, second only to Pittsburgh in the western part of the state. The iron industry began during the canal days. As early as 1807 or 1808 Shade Furnace was built. It did not materially help the town, but its establishment Cambria Iron Works, 1871 [22] __j— Im j THE SPECTATOR led to the discovery that the ore found in the mountains could be used to make fair charcoal iron. However, not until 1842 did iron figure importantly in the devleopment of the town. In that year, a company known as the Geo. S. King Company built the first furnace in Cambria County. After a period of ten years during which the personnel of die firms changed, the Cambria Iron Works was in- corporated. The Civil War gave fresh impetus to every branch of manufacturing and Cambria iron rails became standard. At the close of the war, three new departments, the Bessemer, the Open Hearth Works, and the Gautier were added to the Cambria Iron Company, which engaged in the manufacture of steel products. After the Flood in 1889, the Cambria Iron Company was succeeded by the Cambria Steel Company, which in turn passed into the control of the Bethlehem Steel Company. The Lorain Steel Company, first established as the Johnson Company in 1882, is the second largest industrial plant in our city. Progress and development of the steel industry have been chiefly respons- ible for the wonderful growth of Johnstown. In addition to the great mills, the Johnstown of to-day has a diversity of other industries; which, together with steel, embrace 135 plants and represent products valued at $125,000,000.

The spectator sees first a lone, dim pinpoint of light which looks as if the blue wall of the heavens was pierced to admit that lone ray which represents the first glow of the star of modern education in Johnstown. The speck of light represents the dona- tion for school purposes of a plot of ground on the corner of Carr and Market streets by that far-sighted founder of our city, Joseph Johns. In 1810, there was erected on this site, a little one-story log schoolhouse. This building was never painted; and when it turned a dark gray and later a mournful black, it was called “Old Blacky” by the boys who received educational guidance there for six days a week under impetus of a gratuitiously applied switch, and who on the Sabbath day received their spiritual guidance there also. Two years after the act of Legislature of 1834, which provided for common schools, “Old Blacky” was supplemented by the “Little Brick” schoolhouse which was erected on the southwest corner of the grounds, opposite “Old Blacky.” In 1837 Judge Easly, a public spirited citizen, built the McConaughy Schoolhouse on the southwest corner of Walnut and Conemaugh streets. This building cost $200, and was considered a great step towards the advancement of our public school system. In 1850, the building was moved to the school plot and placed between “Old Blacky” and the “Little Brick.” After fitting repairs had been made on the McConaughy Schoolhouse, it was painted white and henceforth received the appela- tion “Old Whitey.” In 1855, these buildings were removed from the school plot to make room for the greatest forward step which Johnstown had yet taken in the advancement of her public school system. In their place was erected the less quaint but better equipped building called the Union Schoolhouse. It was built at the cost of $4,458, and was first used as a school on New Year’s Day in 1856. It was in this school that the first system of grading and promotion was used. [24] __Pi, THE SPECTATOR? As the years went by, and the enrollment increased, the need for high school work began to be felt. In 1868, Johnstown’s first high school was organized by S. B. McCormick. The building in which the first high school was located is now standing, and is used as the present Baltimore and Ohio railroad station. This high school boasted of one class with a roll of thirty students, who were taught by A. C. Johnson. Later, in 1880, the high school was moved to the Adams Street building, and the next year to Union Street. In 1882, the first commencement ex- ercises of the high school were presented. Here in the Union Street building the three year course was established; however two years later in 1884, it gave place to the four year course of study. In 1892, the high school was moved to the Somerset Street building where is remained until 1900. The star had been steadily growing larger and brighter and suddenly rose more quickly, because in 1900 a new building was erected on the old plot of ground donated by Joseph Johns. This schoolhouse was built at the expenditure of $100,- 000 and was considered the finest improvement in the educational development of Johnstown. In this building the high school was located until 1926, when it was The First High School Now the Baltimore and Ohio Station One room of this building was used as a high school transferred to the building on Somerset Street, a new building, erected and equipped at the cost of $1,328,805. A part of the high school development of the city is the junior high school. The first junior high school in Johnstown and the second one in the state of Pennsylvania, was the Garfield Junior High, which was opened September, 1915.

The second junior high in Johnstown was the Cochran Junior High School, which was opened November, 1924, to take care of the students in the upper Johnstown district. The third junior high school is housed in the old high school building and is named after Johnstown’s founder. Simultaneously with the development of the high school and the junior high schools is that of the grade schools. They have gradually increased in size and number until today we have twenty-seven grade school buildings housing a total number of ten thousand, six hundred and thirteen pupils. Nor should we forget another branch of our puplic school system, which is the school for crippled children established in the Orthopedic Ward of the Me- morial Hospital. Here because we can not hasten the cycle of time, and the end of our romance lies in the future, our tale must be broken. No one knows what the future holds in store for the star of public enlightenment in Johnstown, but this we do know: Whatever our city does for the betterment and advancement of our public school system will be for the cultural betterment and advancement of Johnstown itself. [27] THE SPECTATOR . ■ ..■--■3 DEVELOPMENT IN BUSINESS AND FINANCE In the following pictures we have tried to show the contrast between old and new Johnstown, comparing the business houses, the finances, and the recent im- provements. S. Hull Smith and company were the first bankers in Johnstown. Mr. S. Hull Smith, the head of the concern, lived until about twenty years ago, when he died in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, aged more than ninety years. Smith and Company discon- tinued business when the First National Bank was organized in 1863. It was the fifty-first institution to be chartered under the National Banking Act passed by Con- gress in 1862. In the late 50’s M. W. Kcim conducted a private bank on Main street, near where Zang’s Shoe is now located. In the year 1872 the private banking house of John Dibert and Company was organized and continued in business until the Flood of 1889. About 1890 the Citi- zens National Bank was organized, and about 1897 Speedy, Brown and Barry began business as bankers and later nationalized their business by organizing the Cambria National Bank. The Dibert Bank The niti� of this bulldlnir Is now occupied by the First National Hank [28] : s $i K' THE SPECTATOR; Then followed the organiza- tion of the following: Johnstown Trust Company, United States National Bank, Cambria Trust Company, Title Trust and Guar- antee Company, United State; Trust Company, Morrellville De- posit Bank, Johnstown State De- posit Bank, Moxham National Bank, Farmers Trust and Mort- gage Company, National Bank of Johnstown, Pennsylvania Trust Company, Johnstown Saving: Bank, Dale National Bank. The Cambria National Bank Citizens National Bank and the Union National Bank were ab- sorbed into the First Natioal Bank. The Farmers Trust and Mortgage Company, Peoples State Bank and Cambria Trust Company were absorbed into the United States Trust Company oi Johnstown. The National Bank of Johnstown was absorbed b the United States National Bank The institutions now in active business in Johnstown are the following: First National Bank, United States National Bank, Johnstown Trust Company, Title- Trust and Guarantee Company, United States Trust Company, Morrellville Deposit Ban k, Johnstown State Bank, Moxham National Bank, Johnstown Sav- ings Bank, Dale National Bank.

The total resources of the banks of this city are now fifty- three million dollars. Of the more than one thousand business houses in Johnstown, the Penn Traffic Company has th,e distinction of being the oldest. The celebration, a few months ago, of the seventy-fifth anni- versary of the founding of this store, gave an opportunity to trace its interesting and success- ful history, and to mark the sig- nificant changes suggested by the pictures of the earliest building with the present extensive plant. The group of business houses furnishes further contrast be- tween the first building of the Penn Traffic and other structures of today. At present in Johns- town there are 1,020 retail stores and 114 wholesale establishments. The Cambria Library, Johns- town’s only free library, was dedi- cated on February 19, 1892. The present building was erected to take the place of the one destroyed by the flood. Johnstown has two important newspapers, the Tribune and the Democrat. The first issue of the Tribune was printed December 7, 1853, with James M. Swank as editor. It became a daily on Representative Stores March 3, 1875; and on March 12, 1880, it issued both a weekly [31] The Stadium and daily. The first issue of the Democrat was published on May 5, 1863 with Janies F. Campbell as the editor. The first congregation to build a church was the Lutheran, who built in 1832. Then followed the Presbyterians and Methodists, who built churches in 1835. The Colored church was organized in 1873, and the United Brethren church was dedi- cated in 1869. The first Roman Catholic church was erected in 1835. To-day Johnstown has one hundred and three churches, representing many different denom- inations. Johnstown is on the main line of the Pennsylvania Railroad, and on the branch line of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. Steam railways, electric inter- urban railways, and inter-urban bus lines all lead into the heart of the city through the numerous state highways. The first Johnstown Street Railway Company was organized on April 11, 1882. Some other important improvements in the development of the city are: ten hotels, the largest one being the Fort Stanwix Hotel; eight hospitals; efficient police and fire service; eight public parks; twenty-one supervised playgrounds; one public stadium; two country clubs; fire service clubs; eleven theaters; one municipal swim- ming pool; a well equipped Public Safety Building; a Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. [321 JV b I. THE SPECTATOR osafa The Inclined Plane Besides all these improvements, the different parts of the city are connected by twenty-one bridges including fifteen city bridges and six railroad and trolley bridges. Seven reservoirs supply water for homes and industries. The Cambria Inclined Plane opened for traffic on June 4, 1891, is one of the steepest in the United States. This plane carries passengers and vehicles from the city to Westmont. It is oper- ated by cables with automatic brakes. [35] THE SPECTATOR A Part Of Johnstown Of Today As Seen [34] __ _ j—u !

When you have lived twenty-five years more, you will be, as we are now, “past forty” with more than half our lives behind us. I envy you. I believe your fathers and mothers, who love you and are proud of you, are slightly envious. Life holds much in store for you. There are many surprises ahead. You will enjoy, see, serve and discover things not yet dreamed of. Why should it be otherwise? Youth deserves such opportunity. I might as well admit, here in your Spectator, that I think you are worth-while, well iiitentioned young people who will bring additional honor to Johnstown High School. Not being seer or prophet, I do not know what greatness will be yours. This I do know, that your ambitions are keen and your prospects promising. The education your parents and I got in 1900 was good. Our teachers tried to prepare us for the future—the future we were to live. Wherein they failed they were not always to blame. Who in 1900 knew that the automobile industry was soon to be greater than any other? Who even so much as imagined that very soon we should take our music out of the air by radio? I am sure my teachers never thought of the aeroplane. And as for Mr. Einstein,—but then we are not well ac- quainted with him in 1929. Perhaps your education has been patterned largely for the year 1930. But what of 1950? What great material progress will correspond to the automobile, the radio, and the aeroplane ? How far will such men as Mr. Einstein take us in the next few years? That’s the reason, I say you must continue to read, and study, and learn. Learn by experience, by participation,— but learn. There is nothing more imperative than that injunction of old, “Get wisdom, and with all thy getting, get under- standing.” JAMES K1LLIUS L39] ' THE SPECTATOR I,- _____ —, ' -si CoA _______________JkxL THE FACULTY Reading from left to right, First Row: Mary I).

Although she was born as long ago as 1830 and did not establish a distinct cult of poetry, she used many of the principles of verse which the poets of today arc naming and of which they claim to be the originators. Miss Dickinson was outspoken and daring and refused to be hampered by the accepted modes of poetical construction. This breaking of the cumbersome bonds of convention, without overstepping the laws of society by which each indi- vidual must be governed, was also evident in her life. Emily Dickinson has often been called the “Nun of Amherst,” but, strictly speaking, this appellation does not entirely suit her, for she never lost her delight in her surroundings. Her happy, carefree girlhood was marked by the strong attachments she formed for her father and her brother’s wife. During a visit to Philadelphia, Miss Dickinson fell in love with a young married minister. The stress of her emotion led her to seek seclusion within her house and garden, where she spent many delightful hours among her books and flowers. Her verses, written during this solitary life, were never intended for publication and four years elapsed after her death in 1886 before her first volumne of poems appeared. A compilation edited by her niece includes this early volume and three others, while a recent book contains her previously undiscovered poems. The first compilation is divided into several topics, such as Life, Nature, Love, Time and Eternity. However, her poems elude so distinct a classification and many fit under one heading as well as under another. For instance, this poem, which is considered under Time and Eternity, might well have been classed under Love. “The stimulus, beyond the grave His countenance to see, Supports me like imperial drams Afforded royalty.” In spite of her love for her poetry, Miss Dickinson felt keenly the reunciation of her lover, She says, “A wounded deer leaps highest.” And again, “Forbidden fruit a flavor has That lawful orchards mocks; How luscious lies the pea within The pod that Duty locks.” She felt, however, a soothing yet inspiring element in books, and in several stanzas she expresses her acknowledgement of the pleasure they brought her. She exclaims, [105] — — r THE SPECTATOR “And this bequest of wings Was but a book. What liberty A loosened spirit brings!” In another poem she voices her appreciation of the possibilities of books. “There is no frigate like a book To take us lands away, Nor any coursers like a page Of prancing poetry.” Perhaps the loveliness of Nature brought her even more happiness than her books, and it certainly contributed in large measure to the beauty of her poems. In speaking to the “housewife in the evening west” making the sunset, she addresses her with “You dropped a purple ravelling in, You dropped an amber thread.” Nature assumes human characteristics. The sunset “plied her spotted broom,” the hills “untied their bonnets” and “the wind tapped like a tired man.” What lovelier description of the sea could be expressed than: “An everywhere of silver, With ropes of sand To keep it from effacing The track called land.” Miss Dickinson hated the use of scientific names for plants and stars and fre- quently voiced her objection in words like these: “I pull a flower from the woods, A monster with a glass Computes the stamens in a breath, And has her in a class.” One of her loveliest descriptions concerns the sunset. In this she not only de- picts the colors in vivid tones but gives us the feeling of peace at the closing of day. “There seemed a purple stile Which little yellow boys and girls Were climbing all the while. “Till when they reached the other side A dominie in gray Put gently up the evening bars, And led the flock away.” What childish simplicity brings us this: “Split the lark and you’ll find the music, Bulb after bulb, in silver rolled.” [106] l-'-K fi-i Of such unromantic object as a railway train she writes “I like to see it lap the miles, And lick the valleys up, And then, prodigious, step “Around a pile of mountains, And, supercilious, peer In shanties by the sides of roads; “Then chase itself down hill. “And neigh like Boanerges; Then, punctual as a star, Stop—docile and omnipotent— At its own stable door.” She compressed a bit of her philosophy into these stanzas, in which much is hidden between the lines. “I asked no other thing, No other was denied. I offered Being for it; The mighty merchant smiled. “Brazil? He twirled a button, Without a glance my way, ‘But, madam, is there nothing else That we can show today?’ ” Although Emily Dickinson seldom went to church and has been accused of various irreligious beliefs, she had a deep-founded faith. In this simple analogy she voices her belief in spirituality. “I never saw a moor, I never saw the sea; Yet I know how the heather looks, And what a wave must be. “I never spoke with God, Nor visited in heaven ; Yet certain am I of the spot As if the chart were given.” Thus we may travel with Emily Dickinson through the realms of nature, the intricate labyrinth of the emotions, up to the lofty heights of majestic spiritual feel- ing. Such charm, versatility, sincerity, and simplicity as she commands will long bring contentment, peace, and love of the good and beautiful to the hearts of her readers. [107] rW: THE SPECTATOR STALLED Mary Ashman Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug! Then with a weak and final sigh the Ford stalled in the middle of the road. “Here, what’s this?” exclaimed Mr. Monroe, as he climbed over the camping outfit which was on the running board. “Well, I’m glad it isn’t a flat tire; three are enough for one day,” teased Catherine. “Yes, Father should have thought to bring extra tubes along,” sighed tired Mrs. Monroe. By this time the other Ford in the party had drawn up and Mr. Steele, jump- ing out called jokingly, “It isn’t another flat, is it?” “No, it’s engine trouble, and 1 can’t seem to locate it, answered Mr. Monroe. Mr. and Mrs. Steele and their daughter, Ruth together with Mr. and Mrs. Monroe and their daughters Catherine, Irma and Alice, were driving across the country from Sunnyside, Washington to Spokane. The scenery had been dull; all that could be seen for miles were the sage brush covered hills. There was no life except now and then a quail or perhaps a small prairie rabbit frightened from the bushes by the wayside. It had been a hot and dusty day; and together with the exasperating three flat tires, all the travelers were very tired. “Pile out,” called Mr. Steele, “Looks like we’ll have to camp here and go after repairs tomorrow morning.” “What about water?” questioned Mrs. Steele, “What we had is gone.” “I’ll drive to that farm we passed about five miles back and see where the nex! town is and also get water,” returned Mr. Steele as he cranked his Ford, turned it, and started back. The rest of the party proceeded to make camp inside of the fence of a deserted wheat field. Since the trip took only a day and a half they had brought no tent, intending to sleep out under the stars, except for Catherine and Irma who slept in the car. By the time Mr. Steele returned, the women had prepared a hot supper, and every one forgot fatigue, enjoying a good square meal. Mr. Steele reported that as there had been no rain for several weeks he could not persuade the woman at the farmhouse to sell water, but being very much in need of it he had gone to the well and had drawn three gallons of water. When the woman saw that he meant to have it she charged him ten cents a gallon for it. Every one retired with the sun’s last rays and was soon fast asleep. The moon came out and again it was as bright as day around the sleepers. Afar off over the hill a coyote cried and a playful little rabbit ran over the feet of the sleepers. The sage-brush rustled in the night hreeze and whispered of many unknown Indian legends. [108] .—n l UtV -J ''Tx'. t V .Wjr THE SPECTATOR __________ Next morning, almost before the stars blinked out, Mr. Monroe and Mr. Steele were up and had their breakfast ready. “We’re going into town for repairs,” called Mr. Steele as they started off. “It’s twenty miles so we won’t be back till about noon.” None of the other campers awoke except Mrs. Steele, who rolled over sleepily, looked at her watch, and once more lost herself in slumber. Suddenly Catherine and Irma, who were sleeping in the car outside the fence, were awakened by the rocking of the car, and the noise of angry snorts and bellows. The side curtains had been put on and the wind shield covered so they could not see out. Thoroughly frightened, they peeped out of the side curtains to see a rolling mass of curly backed animals shoving and pushing to get the car out of the way. Looking in front they could not see the beginning of the mass because of the dust. Looking behind they saw that the road for what seemed a half a mile was filled with steers. A large bull—his immense head lowered—shook his horns angrily, bellowed defiantly, and started toward the car, charging all those who dared to block his way. As his head struck the car it lurched forward. The girls heard a sharp, ripping sound. The bull’s horns had caught in the left front curtain and had torn a long slit in it. Through this slit in the curtain the girls could see the massive animals as they surged back and forth, knocking against the curtains and rocking the car. Too frightened to move, the girls huddled in the corner nearest the fence, ex- pecting any moment to see a huge head thrust into the car, and waiting—for they knew not what. “Hey, there! I hat’s all there is. 1 hope they didn’t frighten you much,” called a masculine voice. Gradually the bumping and rocking of the car ceased; the snorts and bellows grew farther away. With returning courage Catherine cautiously opened the door of the car. A mass of dusty, black bodies with a rider on horseback was fast disap- pearing in the dust, leaving no evidence of conflict except the torn curtain of the car, the trampled ground and two frightened girls. BROTHER’S AWAY Betty Machtley Now that he is gone, I stumble over one of his agates, His bathrobe is flung over my arm chair; A pair of his heavy shoes lie just as he kicked them off— I glance at his funny drawings and smile. The room seems vacant. [109] V-hTSt ' THE SPECTATOR FOREST FIRE Mary Rosamond Canan The horizon gleams with a wavering, golden line, A brilliance edges the high, level hill. Thick, smoky blankets cover earth and sky Till shifting winds reveal wee glowing bee-hive furnaces Dancing with pin-points of light. Row upon row, Little flickering furnaces, Tongue-twisting, as glittering As the tinsel trimming on a Christmas tree. Then, from a shifted screen, Angry flames blaze furiously Up into a wondering sky. Pigmy figures on their battle-line, Grim man-shadows, fight valiantly. On the farthest edge, creep fiery beads, Growing, bursting, straining ever on, Feasting on the underbrush— Marking out the trees, dark shapes of trees, Outlined against a frieze of flame, Giant shapes silhouetted on gray smoke puffs Rising, falling, shifting, drifting. Acrid smoke, weird beauty— Of a funeral pyre—a forest fire! SPRING IS IN THE AIR Betty Machtley This morning as I walked along the boulevard, A girl swayed past me on roller skates. A bird warbled in the branches above me, Emerald grass blades delicately waved as the wind brushed over them, The sun burned a path across the swollen river. I noticed a ring drawn in the mud with prints of heavy cleated shoes around it, The crocuses and tulips are pushing back the earth, All the bushes and hedges are bare— But spring is in the air! [110] 'V-. v 'Mn THE SPECTATOR THE SHORT STORY Saul W. Spiegel “For tomorrow please write a short story of your own selection, but please be original.” These words fell on the ears of Zack Hayden, and roused him from his lethargy. Write a short story! Where could he get a short story? If only something would happen so he could write it. Fanciful plots flitted through his mind—murders, mys- teries, love, adventure. He thought about it all afternoon, but when evening came he dismissed the matter as less important than going over to see Jim Fletcher. After supper he set out for Jim’s house. He took a short cut through a plot of ground on which stood an old, tumble down house; untenanted for years. As he musingly looked up at the house, there was a flash of light and then again it was dark. Zack stopped, his heart beating rapidly. What should he do? Rush in and see what was going on and perhaps receive some bodily harm, or better get help and then search the house? He was by no means a coward but he stood as if riveted to the spot. However, curiosity and a desire for a short story led him on. As he went up the steps they creaked dismally, causing him to consider again. He opened the door; and as it swung on its rusty hinges, he heard a groan upstairs. Treading as cautiously as he could, he went up the stairs, brushing aside cobwebs at every step, although he could not imagine why there would be cobwebs if someone had gone up before him. He reached the top of the stairs and found himself in a corridor with five doors opening into it. They were all closed but one, and this one he approached. Looking in he saw nothing except a gray heap in the center of the room. Lighting his pocket lighter he uttered a hoarse cry, for there in a pool of blood lay Ray Fleming, the town’s richest man, an ex-banker, noted for his parsimonious ways. As Zack rushed over to help him Fleming uttered one word—“Slip”—and fell back. Zack was in a dilemma. Bewildered, he did not run to the nearest house but all the way to the district police station and reported. His announcement caused a furor; the men jumped up from their cards, crushed on their hats, and buttoned their coats as they ran. The three blocks were covered in no time. Using flashlights, the police covered every entrance. The back door was found open and blood stains on the back stairs. Foot prints proved that there had been a struggle and they found that Fleming had been killed by a .38 calibre pistol wound over his heart. As to the word “Slip” the police had no idea what or who could be meant. The next day the town was in a state of excitement. The main topic was the murder. Short stories were forgotten as the students suggested various solutions. The pupils were given an extra day to write up the stories. After school Zack hur- ried to the police station for news. The police had searched Fleming’s papers and had found a number of indiscretions. Also among his papers were cancelled checks from [111] Ar':AC THE SPECTATOR Elm Davis, who had a bad reputation. He was a “big town” crook, and bank rob- bery was his specialty. Davis was known in crook circles as “Slippery Elm.” That was all the police had uncovered. Zack pondered over these discoveries. Suddenly a thought struck him. Checks from “Slippery Elm” and Fleming’s last word was “Slip.” Surely there was some connection. With this new discovery he hurried to the Captain. The Captain lis- tened to Zack’s tale and at once wired to all cities for the apprehension of Davis. The same day an answer came saying that Davis was in a little town about fifty miles away. He was brought to the city but the grilling of the police was of no avail. Fin- ally, as a last resort he was confronted by the checks. Davis, knowing that the police did not love him overly much, decided to confess. This was his story: “Well, do you remember when the Thirteenth National Bank was broken into? I did the job, but Fleming saw and recognized me. Instead of giving me up to the police he blackmailed me. Those checks prove it. Fleming was crazy for money. He made ten times more by backmailing me than he would have received from the reward. I wanted to set myself up in an honest business but the money I had to give Fleming prevented it. Last night I called him up and told him I wanted to see him. He refused, but I went to his house and forced him to come to that deserted house with me. I knew that if he made a rumpus he would not be heard there. Instead of listening to me he began to fight. I smacked him one on the nose and made him go up stairs. There he got unruly again so I winged him, intending only to hit him on the arm. But as I shot he jumped toward me and got it over the heart instead. I had a silencer on my pistol and—Say, how did you find out so soon ?” “This young fellow saw the flash of the gun.” “Well, if any jury will convict me for what I did, it’s O. K. with me. Fleming was a bigger crook than I was.” Zack went home musing over this confession; he was rather down hearted, for Davis was a likable fellow. Suddenly he brightened—he had his story and he wrote it in fine style. The next day though Zack was a public figure, he took his honors modestly. At last English class came. The teacher made the rounds of the class, and finally asked if anyone had been omitted. Zack put up his hand as being thus slighted. The teacher smiled sweetly and said, “You are excused from giving your story, Zack, by the Principal’s orders.” [112] A - - .j| , yr‘ -J ,i THE SPECTATOR 3 THE IDEAL STUDENT Wilbur Gregory Just as there are ideal presidents, ideal citizens, and ideal teachers there are also ideal students. The ideal student, recognizing both the value of an education and the fact that to secure an education he must develop in body, mind, and char- acter, strives to develop in these three ways. He develops in body by getting sufficient outdoor air, by eating wholesome food in proper amounts, by getting sufficient rest and sleep, and by getting enough exercise. He develops his mind by studying all his problems and reasoning through them to a conclusion, and by reading both the older classics and modern books. By developing his mind by such means, the ideal student gains an understanding and knowledge of life, human nature, and nature itself. He learns to perform certain duties, and in this way fits himself for an occupation in life. In preparing himself for an occupation, he realizes that a sound body and a well developed mind are the only elements which make up the successful person. Character is a most important element in gaining success in any worth while undertaking. The outstanding traits of good character are honesty, thrift, perseverence and loyalty. Honesty is always the best policy. One must be honest at all times in his deal- ings with others as well as with himself. By thrift is meant economy of time and energy. Many students waste time in an extravagant manner, and they not only waste their own time but that of others as well. Some students have a wrong im- pression of thrift. They think they can save time and energy by copying work. Just so they can meet the assignment of the day, they do not care how they get their preparation. Just so they bluff their way through the present, they let the future take care of itself. Perseverence is also an important trait of character of the ideal student for without it he can gain no success. Courage, patience, and will power are also ele- ments one must have to develop in body, in mind, and in character. 1 he ideal student is always loyal to his home, his school, his class, and his friends. By being loyal to his home, he makes himself worthy of it and makes of himself all that his family can demand of him. Loyalty to school is the helping to uphold standards in scholarship, in activities, and in school spirit. Loyalty to his class is helping to prepare for any class function or perform any duty. The ideal student is loyal to his friends in that he is courteous and willing to cooperate with them. When the ideal student leaves school and takes his place in the world, one would suppose that he would cease to be a student, but the world itself is a school, and all living beings are students so that the ideal student continues to be a student; and more than that he continues to be an ideal student developing in body, in mind, and in character. s. w. s. Alone, On the hill, In the soft, green grass— I gaze up at the white, fleecy clouds; The trees whisper of days long gone by When Indians stalked silently in the cool, damp leaves. Alone, On the hill, Far above in the pale blue sky. I wonder at Him Who controls all,—thunder and lightning Now, and forevermore. THE SKIPPER Mary Ellen Cooper Every day the Skipper waits at the corner for his “regulars” who come dash- ing madly over Somerset street for the twelve o’clock car. The noisy crowd runs shout- ing around the corner and jump on the car. The Skipper grins good-naturedly as he looks over the top of his glasses which rest on the tip of his nose. He has a word of greeting or a smile for each one, and he makes sure that each one drops his car-check into the box; but of course no one would think of cheating the Skipper even if he is near-sighted. After he has peered around the car and is certain that all his “regulars” are on board, he very slowly and skillfully starts the car and swings around the bend. We poor martyrs sink wearily into our seats and hope that we shall not be entirely exhausted from hunger by the time he reaches our stop. But there are some persons who tantalize us by telling of their adroitness in escaping detection in visiting Campbell’s or the Cafeteria for a bracing sandwich or candy bar. As a result they have the strength to open the back door or push each other off the seats into the aisle. Of course the Skipper could not have his car disgraced by such un- ruly conduct, so he brings it to a halt and comes back to reprove these disturbers. After he has once more restored peace and harmony he returns to the controls, and we continue on our way. One of the strangest things about the Skipper’s driving is that he always manages to reach Haynes Street just as the red light goes on. Also the Skipper has a host of friends to whom he nods or even stops the car to greet, but we forgive him for friendship’s sake. [114] THE SPECTATOR After we have passed Haynes Street and are beginning to make speed, we watch the Skipper as he steers his car along the Boulevard. As he sits on his stool we notice that his suit shows the result of hard wear though the very wrinkles bear levidcnce of earlier well tailored appearance. His blue motorman’s cap sits on his head just as rightly as a king’s crown. His feet are clumsy in a pair of huge arctics of which he seems to feel a need. His face as we see it in the mirror above his head is large and kind. His eyes, small and bright, seem to have no use for the glasses which rest on the end of his nose; the view of his mouth is obstructed by his enormous black moustache which hangs over his lip like sea-weed. As we near our step he stands up, and by the time we have arrived at Rose Street we are all crowded at the front of the car waiting to dash out the door as soon as the car stops. The Skipper is usually happily humming “Love’s Old Sweet Song” as we jump off the car and run across in front of it. He waits until the last straggler reaches the pave- ment and then he starts the car again and goes slowly up the street. PRINTING IN OUR HIGH SCHOOL Richard Kraft Printing was first introduced into the schools of Johnstown about sixteen years ago in the present Joseph Johns, Jr. High building, and had meager equipment. When the Vocational Educational Department was organized in 1916 additional equipment, valued at $400, was purchased. Two years later a linotype—the first in any public school print shop in the state—was purchased for the shop. From this modest equipment, representing a few hundred dollars, our present print shop has developed until now our equipment is valued at $15,000. A three year course is given in the department. During the year 1928-29 about fifty boys have taken this course as their trade unit. The different steps of the three year course include those from the beginning of type setting until the student can set the type for the job, lock it in the form, correct it, cut the stock, and then run it off on the press. Setting a job requires accuracy in sentence construction, spelling, punctuation, use of capitals and division of words. Balance, proportion, and harmony also govern this portion of the work. Cutting stock requires the use of mathematics as does the use of the point system with its rapid changes back and forth from inches to ems, and points back to inches. Speed, neatness, and accuracy are important factors that must be familiar to the student before he enters the commercial world. Five members of the class of 1929, are the first group to complete the three year course in the Print Shop in our new high school. Some of the work done in these three years has been the “Dedication Program” for opening of the new build- ing in 1926; the “Cochran Artists’ Series Programs;” the text book used in the [115] TT ,:-ijy THE SPECTATOR course in printing; booklets entitled “Graphic Arts;” and “Five Centuries of Print- ing’” both prepared by Mr. Cleaver. Three school newspapers are printed in our shop. They are: the “School News”—the grade schools paper; “The Blue and Black”—our high school paper; and the “Evening School News”—published by the evening schools. The practical value of printing as a trade unit in the schools is unquestioned. The standard of work maintained is the standard established for the commercial shops, and pupils taking the course are given opportunity of serving part of the required time of apprenticeship before they begin their work in the commercial field. AND SHE DIDN’T MIND Sara C. Byers The day of the finals was nearing two o’clock, the fatal hour at which Dick was to take his test in English Composition. The situation would not have been so distressing, had it not been that Dick was in love. But he certainly was in love. There was no doubt about his state of mind. All through the test, the merry eyes of Phyllis Sawyer persisted in dancing gayly between him and the paper. Struggling through the test as best he could, Dick hurriedly scribbled the last few lines; and turning in his paper with a sigh of relief, he dashed out to join Phyllis in a few games of tennis before dinner, and later to a party of the Sorority to which Phyllis belonged. The next morning Dick was summoned to the dean’s office. He wondered frantically what he had done this time. In answer to his timid knock, the voice of Dean Rutherford boomed out a threatening “Come in.” Entering the room he met the stern gaze of the dean with a brave smile. In the brief silence that followed Dick thought that Professor Rutherford would surely hear the “thump-thump” of his knees, over which he had no control at this particular moment. Would they never stop that terrible bumping together? “You wanted to see me?” said Dick, swallowing hard. “What does this mean?” roared Dean Rutherford, holding up a written sheet. “Why-er-what do you mean, sir?” stammered Dick. “Have you ever seen this before? Perhaps you will recognize the writing,” said the dean, holding the paper before Dick’s astonished eyes. In utter bewilderment, he read: “The most important element in English Composition is her beautiful eyes, and following the word grouping and sentence structure is her hair which falls in won- derful spun gold ringlets. As for the use of adverbs, they are used to glorify a verb or another Frat House Dance which I must ask her to. It is also important to be careless in the use of the invitations, which are to be mailed next week, etc. . . [116] THE SPECTATOR; “Why—I’m sorry, sir, I can’t imagine how this could have happened,” stuttered Dick. “Well, my boy?” said the dean sternly, notwithstanding the twinkle in his eye, which Dick missed, “I’m afraid that this will mean that you cannot pass the term’s work.” “Oh, Mr. Rutherford! Won’t you give me another chance? I promise I’ll do better. You see I just can’t explain, but 1 must pass the work. You see, I am think- ing er-ah-er of---- “I understand perfectly what you were thinking about. For the present, how- ever, you must concentrate entirely on your studies. You will take your retest at two o’clock tomorrow afternoon.” “Oh, sir! Thank you so much. I - - - Dick rushed from the office, and soon overtook Phyllis. They walked along arm-in-arm as Dick told her about the incident in the dean’s office failing, however, to tell her the whole truth. “Rut I can’t understand the reason,” insisted Phyllis. It was growing dusk and a warm breeze was blowing the tall trees on the campus. Suddenly Dick stopped, and turned to her, “It’s all your fault,” he accused her, “and I think I should be allowed to - -if you don’t mind - And she didn’t mind.

[121] THE SPECTATOR riij53_____ — _ --fS? _ • V ,J � _ THE SPIRIT OF JOHNSTOWN In this issue of the Spectator, we have attempted to set forth the spirit of Johnstown as displayed by the indomitable courage of the founders and the spirit of the city today. We have chosen this theme, the Spirit of Johnstown, because it has been found that in order to understand the present we must study the past. In studying the history of our city before and after the Flood, we have found that throughout the whole scheme there runs a single, unifying thread binding the past and the present, and that thread is the spirit of Johnstown. In the infancy of Johnstown, a certain energetic spirit was prevalent as was evidenced by the flourishing trade carried on with surrounding communities. 1 he people were busy farming, mining, making iron, working at all sorts of trades, but ever building and expanding the limits of the community. With the construction of the Pennsylvania Canal, Johnstown began to expand much more rapidly; and later, after the Pennsylvania Railroad was built, the city had an outlet for its products, and became a place of importance because of its iron and steel industries. Then came that awful catastrophe of 1889—homes were demolished, industries ruined, Johnstown was sick at heart. Hut Johnstown was young. And like a young man, struck by a great sorrow in his prime, but still unsubdued, our city went directly to work, with courage buoyed up by that unquenchable spirit that had actuated the founders of the city. By dint of hard and patient struggling the people overcame almost unsurmountable difficulties and hardships, built new homes and re-established their industries and business. They had a great struggle against calamity and sorrow, but won. The same spirit that inspired the founders of the city, that actuated the development of the city, that sustained the people in meeting those trials of the Flood, has carried on and exists today. About us now we see a happy and industrious people. The city glows with the pride of achievement, in the community, in the industries and business, in the schools —everywhere. And our city will advance ever onward and upward so long as the people are actuated by the Spirit of Johnstown. N. N. ACTIVITIES IN HIGH SCHOOLS Extra curricular activities, those activities which are not included in the regular program of study, have become important factors in high school work in that they are a vital help in training boys and girls to take places in the world. When our parents went to school they did not have the same opportunities to become interested in activities. This was due partly to differences in point of view, and partly to differences in surroundings. But as the cities grew larger, a need for recreation in the schools was recognized. Since the World War, that need has been realized more and more because of the importance of education in democracy. [122] '; v uV'Vrr THE SPECTATOR In order that extra curricular activities may advance and increase, it is neces- sary to hav'e certain underlying principles. The first one of these is a recognition of differences in children, and the importance of a program to meet these differ- ences. The second is that the best training for life is living, and the best training for citizenship is citizenship in a democracy. The third principle is equalization of opportunity, while the fourth is that extra-curricular activities make for a complete citizenship, leadership, initiative, cooperation, and obedience. Keeping these results in mind it is obvious that extra-curricular activities are of value to the student. Johnstown High School is fortunate in having many activities which afford students equal opportunities to become affiliated with work outside of the regular school routine. These activities are so varied and so well established that they meet the varied tastes and offer a wide range of choice to the students. Those who are musically inclined are free to join the Hand, Orchestra, or Glee Clubs, while those who are interested in good programs and good fellowship may choose the Hi-Y Club or the Girl Reserve Club. Then, too, we have the Photography Club for those who care to learn more about the camera, and how to develop pictures. The Boys’ and Girls’ Pep Clubs help to promote better sportsmanship at athletic events. The Library Club creates added interest in the knowledge of books. In reality, we have such a wide selection that any student who has initiative may enter high school with the knowledge that he can be represented in some extra-curricular activity which not only will be of profit and pleasure to himself, but through which he may render valuable service to the school. —F. W. AN APPRECIATION We, the class of nineteen hundred twenty-nine, wish to express our deep appre- ciation to our class sponsors, Miss Agnes Neary and Miss Elnora Felix; and to our “Spectator” advisors, Miss Katherine Ulery, Miss Jessie Wissler, and Miss Alice Gocher for the kind help they have given and the friendly interest they have shown us during our High School career.

He is sup- ported by the original cast. all finished actors. They are: Mr. En.vou,” Robert Myers- “Mrs. Enyou,” Dorothy Schnabel: “John Bartlett.

It behooves us to give credit to the teachers, who so nobly instilled within us those prin- ciples and doctrines of reaching for the truth. We. the class of ”29. hope that we have fulfilled their expectations. We were buds, then, to be developed by their teach- ings. Today they see the flowers to which they gave drops of knowledge. With thank- ful hearts we pay tribute. The faculty of Johnstown High will always be enshrined in our hearts. Prominent People Arrive in U. S. On board the S. S.

But when I began to consider what has made this possible, I tur11ed to the printed page, to the alphabet, those little letters which we now take for granted, those symbols through which many great works have been kept alive. I sat idly wondering how the different letters had developed, how our present alphabet had all co111e about, whe11 in the fire I noticed what appeared to be a small moving object. Gradually its form became larger and clearer till in a sudden burst of flame out of the fire came the figure of a man--if I n1ay call him a man-for he appeared to me' as a demi-god. He took my hand in his and. said, HI have come to take you back through the ages to the far distant past, and to live again with you through time to show you how the characters that you have just read were shaped, designed and simplified by the artists of many nations who used them in their day, the11 passed them 011 as a priceless inheritance to others till they appear now as you see the111. I have stayed with the alphabet from the beginning, and- But,,' I interrupted, there must be some mistake. I know that the alphabet is many thousands of years old, and you are young. 'AI knew you would say that, but you see I never grow old. I belong to all time. I have bathed in the everlasting fire of eternity: I was, I am and I always will be. Come, step with me into the fire. I accepted his invitation. The fire did 11ot affect me except to give me the feel- i11g of moving at a terrific speed. When we stopped we were standing at the foot of a hill in a COLIIlt1'Y that see111ed to be made of stone. People-queer people with lOl1g hair and heavy beards, a11d with animal furs for clothes and clubs for weapons- moved about us on all sides. I was bewildered and asked my escort, Who are these people and where are we? He smiled and said: We are back in the Stone Age and these people are the cave dwellers. If you 11otice on the walls of their caves they have drawn pictures. This is what people in your day call picture writi11g. Before people did this they spoke i11 gestures, even with speech they could not record their history, but as they advanced toward civilization and as they spoke i11 different tongues, they adopted picture writing. It was a long time before there was definite writing. But let us go to Chinag there I will show you some early examples. It is the land of quaint customs and queer ways i11 which the past still lingers in the script of the modern generation. l7l L A X .A pf A T: We is o: H.: El 5.-xs'I'I-,IIN IVESTERN fi H E E., nf!

A. Mason. Alphabet from .I Ilislory of ffm Ir Used by courtesy of MacMillan Companx In another instant we were in China, and my denii-god, as I named him told me that the Chinese had six hundred fundamental characters or ideographs, which formed the basis of the Written language. I-le also said that this language had no alphabet and likewise no parts of speech. We began moving again, and when we stopped I knew that we were in Egypt for I recognized the pyramids and the Sphinx. Two men approached us, the elder of whom stopped to talk with my guide. WVhen the man left, my guide told me that he was Herodotus who had come from Greece to study the hieroglyphs of Egypt which at that time were thousands of years old. Do these people have the characters to represent their words like the Chinese or do they spell them out? Ieinquired eagerly. l ISI f'?'e, J5YCQi1I sa?

Used by courtesy of Mac- Millan Company. Directly we seemed to be lost in space again and my companion told me that unbelievable as it may seem knowledge of a language can become lost to the worldg that such was the fate of Babylonia and Assyria. The people of these countries enjoyed an era of conquest and prosperity, but later they were vanquished by more powerful neighbors. The story he told me of the recovery of the writings and language of these countries proved to be absorbing and fascinating. l9l V G' 'Y fx 331157 -..I 1+ t 31 In our further pilgrimage to the lands of the alphabet we passed through Asia, through the valley of lkfesopotamia and finally arrived at Phoenicia. Nly guide told me that the Phoenicians were not numerous but that they possessed the high degree of intelligence, energy, skill, and craftsmanship that made their products desired by many other nations. Also we found that these people had two alphabetsg the Moabite which was used by the Jews up to the time of their captivity, and the Sidonian which was used in the principal cities of Phoenicia, and in Carthage. After studying their alphabet for a time my companion said, We are now going to a land of beauty, intellect, and culturef, Almost before I realized the change we were standing on a hill overlooking a beautiful city. In answer to my questioning glance my friend explained: HWe are now on the Acropolis, that city is Athens. Look at the inscriptions on these buildings. With this he showed me an inscription written in the ordinary Semitic manner, that is from right to left. Then we found one written back and forth like the Hittite writing. You see' these people Hellenized the letters and now they assume the left-to- right reading which, of course, you know is universally maintained. These Greeks are credited with many contributions which they made to the alphabet. But come, let me show you what Rome has given us. Another swift flight brought us to a place which, in some particulars, resembled Athens but which was in a state of ruin. f'This,I' my guide pointed out, is the Roman Forum, 11Ot the beautiful place of centuries ago, but still full of importance. Study these inscriptions. Following instructions I wandered about reading inscriptions. 'lWhy,l' I ex- claimed finally, these resemble our alphabet. Oh, yes, the alphabet you know descended from this one with the change of scarcely a single stroke. And by the way, I must tell you that the Romans developed their alphabet from the Greek which was introduced here in Italy at a very early date by the widespread emigration over the Aegean Islands to Spain. Roman civili- zation and culture owe almost everything to the earlier culture of Greece, and the foundations of the Roman alphabet were laid in that of Greece. This alphabet is the most widely diffused one in the world, being extensively used in England, Amer- ica, Australasia and South Africa. In Germany the Gothic black letter is used. The Greeks of your day still use the same alphabet you saw in Athens with no apparent changes. The Arabic alphabet rivals the Roman one in universality, being used throughout Central Asia. That is most interesting, and I have learned much regarding the alphabet. Now will you tell me something about the art of printing, especially its origin ? Because I have lived for so many centuries, my guide replied thoughtfully, HI consider myself capable of saying that the art of printing originated in the Middle Ages. You see, long before the middle of the Fifteenth century, many men of l10l T r S PCI' J Q T LN on V ii if J T ' in learning had appeared. These scholars and writers really revived the learning of the Ancients and influenced men of wealth to establish libraries and universities. If you will come with me, he continued, Uwe will visit one of the libraries that were built during the fifteenth century. hlany of the old books have been preserved. You see, We are here alreadyg but perhaps you are tired. I did not realize that you are human and tire easily. Please make yourself comfortable in this chair and I will secure some of the old specimens of books and show you their beauty. A few minutes later he placed before me some remarkable volumes, about l The Gutenburg Bible which he explained. Before the fifteenth century, as you know, all books Were written or copied by monks. They spent years in the making of a single book. These are some books that you will never forget. Notice the heavy leather binding of this copy. Here is one with a wooden covering inlaid with precious stones. This third book, with its covering of carved ivory, is the most precious. You will observe that the inside of each book is just as beautiful as the outside. Each page has some origi- nal touch of color, and many are works of art which have never been surpassed. The inside of the ivory-bound book is written with ink made of pure gold, so you can easily see the worth of the volume. Hlndeed, I can now see why it took so much time to make a copy. Great skill and patient labor must have been required to complete such a book. I wish I could take one home with me. Ah, my childf' he smiledgi 'fthese copies are priceless. I well remember when manuscript books could be bought at a comparatively low cost, but even in those 1111 .I Q We v' 'Y ' p HE S EC ATOR X ,V MIX X .QSVR '3eX3 Dd4 l days they were too expensive for most people. Often they were not sold, but placed in the monastery libraries for the exclusive use of the clergy. For a few moments my friend remained silent and looked dreamily into space. I was anxious to learn more about printing, and furthermore I was afraid that he would disappear leaving me in this strange library. Suddenly I thought of a good question. l'Sir,'l I inquired, did I understand you to say that printing originated in the Nliddle Ages? I believe that I have read somewhere that as early as the reign of Williaiii the Conqueror, stamps and seals were used on legal documents in England. Yes,'l he replied, fou are rivht. During the second centur I s ent most of I by 1, Y P my time in China where printing from Wooden blocks was practiced. I assisted in printing a book in Korea in 1337. That book is now in the British lkluseum. But you see for a time books were neglected, and not until the Middle Ages did learning again come into its ownfl Please tell me about the history of printingf' I begged, I should like rv to study printing with you. Wheix did it really begin? flWell, fortunately-or should I say unfortunately-the demand for cheaper books overwhelmed the monastic scribes in Iiurope and xylographic printing, or printing from engraved wooden blocks, resulted. Single sheets of paper were printed on one side only, sometimes two of these sheets were pasted together, thus forming a printed page similar to those of today. Originally they were printed on cloth, but later on paper. Large numbers of these block-books were printed, some are pre- served today in museums as well as in private collections. f'Not until the invention of movable type did the, real press printing begin. It is difficult to explain who the true claimant to the honor is . The public has always been of the opinion that Johann Gutenburg invented printing from movable types. I cannot say that he did not any more than I can say that he did. At lVIayence, in I4-Sl, Gutenberg began to print the Gutenberg Bible sometimes known as the Nlazarin Bible. He printed some three hundred copies. The forty-two copies in existence today are among the most valuable books in the world. The last copy that was sold brought Sl20,000. You see, it took a very long time to print a book in the time of Gutenberg. The early printers made their type by hand-a tremendous piece of work. It was necessary to cut each letter on a punch, harden it, drive it into a piece of brass to make a matrix and cast each, of hundreds of letters, in a hand mould. Today it is all made by machinery-None machine casting 48,000 letters a day. In the days of Gutenberg it took several years to cast the type and print a book. Gutenberg did not remain in business very long because John Fust, who held a mortgage for 2,226 guilders against Gutenberg, foreclosed his mortgage and be- came possessor of Gutenberg's outfit in 1455. John Fust took Peter Schoeffer, Gutenberg's principal Workman, into partnership with him. The Fust-Schoeffer firm U21 fy ff?E'Q33'CE.f se v Q roduced one hundred and fifteen books. When Fust died, in 1466, Schoeffer con- P . tinued the business in his own name with Fustls sons. Schoeffer produced fifty-nine books. He is sometimes called the 'Father of Tv e FOLIIICIIIIU, because ty e forced . P :D , P the monks to give up their copy work after the time of Schoefferf, But,', I interrupted, if the monks had done such excellent work, were they not opposed to printed books P No, they were not opposed to printing as it is sometimes believed. lVIany books of the first thirty years after the invention of printing were produced under the direction of monks and chiefly for their use. 16th Century Printing :Room Ujudging from what you have said, you have always followed printing very closely, I observed. Yes,', my guide replied thoughtfully, I love to wander. Niy chief interest is books and naturally I have followed their development. As early as 1464 or 1465, in company with two German printer friends, Conrad Seveynheym and Arnold Pannortz, I crossed the Alps into Italy which was generally recognized? as the home of learning at this time. We set up the first printing press in Italy. 'fAbout this time, too, Charles VII of France sent Nicholas Jenson to learn the art of printing in Germany. I followed his work with interest for when he returned to France, he produced Roman and Gothic types which have served as the basic pat- tern of later type designs. I I13l H4 fs H155 SPE KTUR i Ml can tell you also that I knew William Caxton. He was the master of sev- eral languages as well as an excellent writer. His first actual printing was done while'he was an envoy to Belgium. He owed his early knowledge of the art to Ulrich Zell, a pupil of Gutenberg. Later he returned to England and printed the first book in England. 'fYou may be interested to know that had not Aldus Manutus of Italy printed the Greek Classics of Aristotle, Plato, Sophocles and Demosthenes, they would have been lost. Italic type was first cut by Aldusg he was also the first to use small capitals. 311 ,, ll fill! 1 ll A 'i l ' . 'lllli iiiii ifflfii: Q it X in 4' Bleau Press, 1620 Wfhe sixteenth century marked a crisis in printing, for with the close of that century, printing changed from an art into a trade. Cheaper paper was made and poorer inks were used. The old beauty of the book was lost. Then, too, with the beginning of the seventeenth century the' famous Elzevir family of Holland reduced the size of books. They produced books that were as small as two by four inches. This made the book cheaper as well as more convenient to handle. John Basker- ville was the first printer to use glossy paper, and his main characteristic was clearnessf, I believe I could listen to you all day, I exclaimed enthusiastically. You know so much about printing. Won't you tell me something about its beginning in America?,' 'KBenjamin Franklin, my guide continued, printed the first American classic and he is often called the patron saint of printers. Franklin was not artistic, he believed that type was made to read, nothing more. The books of the early nine- teenth century were miserably printed and exceedingly cheap. But things worth while always find a way into the world. To my friend, Williaiwi Nlorris of Fug- llfl 0' t y' in .fl 7' W F THE SPE Aron Q., land, is given credit for reviving interest in printing as an art. Few people discrimi- nate between the good volume and the commonplace one. When one has had long training and experience with printing and book making, it is comparatively easy to distinguish the artistic qualities that constitute the differences. Printing as an art has retuned to its own only within the last quarter of the present century. Before that time it had not unfolded its possibilitiesf' f'But, I interrupted, 'fa moment ago you said that your friend, Williaxmi Morris, had revived interest in the art of printingf, Fi! fa 4 ef: I if 1' lm re. , Q ,,,.L p JSI? fJpl.,jL,,.,i nu W lg., ' .5 1 N 5524!-I ' ,.----- if Z. .

'alt was backf, in 1895 that Morris first recognized the significance of decoration combined with type. However, it was not until after the first Wave of the popularity of his books had passed that they were judged on the basis of real bookmaking. Earlier they were regarded as beautiful objects of art rather than as well designed books. Coming to the changes and improvements of more recent time, let me say that in the early part of the twentieth century, the reading public had greatly increased. As a consequence faster presses were needed to keep up with the demand for news- papers and books. One of the first high speed book presses was invented by Richard M. Hoe, a master printer of the early twentieth ccntury. The outstanding feature of this press was that the type was secured to a large revolving cylinder while the other and smalled cylinders carried the sheets. This scheme of doing away with the reciprocating bed allowed the press to run as fast as two men could feed paper into it. Its capacity was about eight thousand sheets per hour. The next marked improvement over this press came when the curved stereo- type plates were invented. These plates instead of the type, were fastened to the cylinder. All modern presses are constructed on this principle. l15l Although rotary presses were built, they were still not fast enough in opera- tion to keep up with the times. lt was to meet the demand for speed that the Web press was invented. In this press, the paper had to be pulled through, a process that limited the speed of the printing to the strength of the web. ln 1917, Harry A. Wise Wood invented a press in which the paper was carried through Without strain, and so increased the speed. His first press was set up in a Philadelphia publishing house. This press prints at the extremely fast rate of 1,920,000 sheets per hour. HOne outstanding improvement of the twentieth century was the multicolor press of Waltel' Scott. He first used five tints of ink, now by over-printing, mo1'e than thirty shades can be printed upon the same paper. f'Before I leave you at your own fireside, let me say that such triumphs of printing, developed by gradual changes, show the various Ways by which learning and culture have been preserved and transmitted. Through five centuries of struggle and success, men in different countries, have evolved the printed page and created the artistic book. I have given you the names of great men of the past. What vol- umes of the twentieth century and what master printers will be included in the triumphs of even the first quarter of the century are yet to be determined by the test of time. ln Europe and in America history is being made in printing as an art. The results are encouraging, yet undreamed of possibilities remain to be developed. Your generation will pass, leaving its influence upon the making of books, while l shall live on to inspire in men love for artistic design and perfect printing, for l am the Champion of Printing, l am the Spirit of the Perfect Book.

M 1 X., X t ' A SOUL DOCTOR Louise HANSEN As the beams of the cold November moon 'silently spread over the smooth grassy space in front of the large stone house they seemed to gather themselves into a single intense ray to blot out the flame of a lighted candle placed at an oblong window of a room in the east gable. All night the gleam shone outward until the candle burned low, then flickered out as in the far eastern sky the morning rose with the sun. A winding pathway led to the house where a heavy door was slowly pushed OPCII. A lovely little girl ran down the steps and tripped over the lawn. As she ran her golden hair was blown from her temples and played about her shoulders. Paus- ing at the hedge which divided her father's property from that of a neighbor, she placed her tiny dimpled hands to her mouth and called: Anthony, it's time to play now. Hurry. Where do we go today? A sturdy lad of perhaps ten years joined the excited child. They exchanged a few wordsg then skipped hand in hand out into the grassy meadow. Let's play we've grown up, suggested Anthony, and I'll be a soul doctor. The little girl stopped and looked searchingly into Anthonyls lighted face. A soul doctor ? asked she. What is a soul doctor? Well, Cecelia, ' began the boy, a soul doctor is what I want to be when I become a man. A soul doctor is a priest. Oh, Anthony, you would not be a priest, would you? The girl was alarmed and her voice carried a notd of despair. The boy did not answer, but a peculiar smile curled his lip. Cecelia withdrew her hand and stared at her playmate. When Anthony looked at her again, he saw that she was deadly pale and shaking as if with terror. He put his hands upon her shoulders and tried to hold her quiet, but she tore herself away and ran homeward. Anthony followed and when he reached her, he demanded: Q f What have I done, little one? I thought you would like to play that we had grown up. I was going to let you be my wife and I would be your husband. I would be a soul doctor and then you and I would make all the people good. Don't you want to play with me, Cecelia ? The girl remained rigid and did not attempt to move her lips. Anthony, alarmed by her strange mood, grasped her by the shoulders and shook her until her curls bobbed up and down. When he released her, she fell to the ground quite unconscious. Anthony, realizing what had happened, caught her in his arms to carry her home. Before they reached the house, Cecelia regained consciousness and clinging to him sobbed, 'Tm afraid, Anthony. I'm afraidf, Anthony was truly puzzled. Never before had Cecelia said she was afraid. f'But-what do you mean? Why should you be afraid ? l71l 'V V ' uf TITIE SPE TATUR A XV legal Cecelia was silent again, her eyes were closed and she could not answer. Anthony carried her to a stone bench that was shaded by the high hedgeg then, when she was calm he urged her to tell him why she was afraid. Last night, she began slowly, when I was sleeping, I had a dream. I dreamt about a priest who took you away from me, and I didn't have anybody to play with. The birds and the trees all cried, and I cried too. Your mother and father couldn't stop the man, for he ran very fast. He took you through a hig gate and you couldn't get out again. Your mother and father couldn't get in to see you for the gate was locked. After you were out of sight they never saw you againf, Cecelia was crying now and through her tears she pleaded with Anthony. Oh, Anthony, you say you want to be a soul doctor and take other little boys away from their mothers and fathers. Don't, Anthony. Oh, don't be a soul doctor when you grow up! Hush! commanded the big-brother playmate. Don't be afraid, little one. Priests do not steal little boysg it was just a bad dream. But I have dreamed it many times, Anthony. lNIother always puts a candle in my window to scare the wicked dreams away, but I dream this same wicked dream nearly every nightf, You must say your prayers, Cecelia, and ask God to keep the east gable room from harm. Tell him to guard the room with the candle at the window and keep the wicked dreams awayf' But even when I don't dream wicked dreams, I am always afraid of the night. When the moon is out in the heaven, then I am braveg but I'm always afraid at night. Ach, don't be such a baby! You are a big girl now, almost seven years old, you shouldn't be afraid. Only bad people are afraid, you know, and you are not bad, Cecelia. 'fYou are not bad either, Anthonyg you are not even afraid of the dark, are you? No, he answered calmly. God made the dark. But you have spoiled our play. What shall We do now ?,' 'KI don't want to play, Anthony. Let's go into the house and see mother. Clinging tightly hand in hand, Cecelia and Anthony walked slowly and silently up the winding path and disappeared through the massive doorway. All this happened fifty years ago. sie sie A narrow, stony road crawls up a slope just about two miles distant from the little village among the mountains, and ends at the gate of a gray monastery which rests on the highest point of the mountains. The white clouds hang over the massive structure and only on very clear days can one see its pinnacles. The wind l72l of t effaisaii - mfs if Q E s AT - f and rain, the snow and hail beat upon its defiant walls but to no avail. The centuries- old 'building is solid, and the inmates seem safe from disaster. V Days have faded into weeks and months have become years, but still Anthony does not descend the rocky path. He lives there now with age coming on, but he does not complain. Anthony paints and prints from morning till night. He loves his Work. He is a part of the church, and has no connection with the world outside of the dreary monastery.. He lives so high above the little village of his childhood that he seems to have forgotten it. He could not live without his pen and brush, for they are his real comradesg they give expression to his soul. A perfect book is his aim and he lives for its accomplishment. He often sits silently all day in the scriptorium with other monks and Writes. Then on days when the sunlight penetrates the heavy clouds, he takes his writing to the cloister with the blue heavens above. At such times he paints remarkable illuminated initial letters into his book. Into the illuminations he works figures of Madoniias and angels. Faces remembered from childhood appear in his designs. Some resemble Cecelia while others lool-1 like his mother. In one of these beautiful paintings a tiny golden haired girl and a larger dark haired boy appear tripping hand in hand over a lawn. Further years melt away and the faithful Anthony works patiently, even enthusiastically, upon his book of which important chapters remain unfinished. His hand has grown unsteady, his eyes have lost their clearnness, but his faith that he will live to complete the remarkable manuscript is firm to the end, . Cecelia, now the last of her family, is a beautiful white haired woman. She still fears wicked dreams and keeps a candle burning in the east gable window of her old home. She has remained true to the love of her childhood and as the years come she lives over those sweet days of childhood and youth. Every evening when the moon strikes the cold monastery walls, empties its silvery beams upon the quiet little village, sweeps the grassy lawn and floods the east gable room with light, from her window she sees on the distant heights a gray pile outlined against the moonlit sky. A contented smile crosses her delicately sweet face as she turns, places a lighted candle on the window sill and utters her evening prayers. sa ssc sz Kfore than four centuries have passed since Anthony poured his soul into his book and Cecelia protected herself from harmful dreams by the light of a candle. In a great library of a continent undiscovered when Anthony and Cecelia lived, Anthony's manuscript book is a priceless masterpiece of the Middle Ages. And it may interest the reader to learn that in the little mountain village far away the people still proudly show Anthonyls cell in the grim monastery, and point out Cecelia's east .gable window which they fondly call the window of the candle of dreams. U31 ,, ff f. JffBYC5?i , v' fr THE WELLINGTON DYNASTY H ELEN PE1,.'xl.,xs i William Waltham VVellington was seated at a broad polished mahogany desk in his study. This study, planned by his grandfather Wellington, made evident the dominant characteristics that had existed throughout the Wellington dynasty. No article present seemed to be of ordinary size. There was a big ink stand in the center of the table, a big pen rack in front of it, and the pen holder which William VVellington held in his hand, was a bit longer and thicker than ordinary ones. Everything in the room was impressive. The table was larger and the easy chairs were deeper. Yet, these seemed ordinary to the possessor because he himself was created on a larger scale than most men. He was a man of large frame, and his rugged features with high forehead, distinguished nose, firm-set mouth and deter- minate chin gave an impression of strength of character. At first sight one might think him harsh, even cruel, but as the person looked into his eyes, which were rather small when compared with the rest of the features, he suddenly became aware that William Wellington was a kind man in spite of his obstinacy. Yet, in spite of this kindliness people felt an unaccountable sense of inferiority in his presence. Some one knocked on the massive oak door, and lklr. Wellington answered by a clear and resonant, Come inf, The door opened to admit a tall, lanky lad, who resembled the man himself. Good morning, Father. Klother said you wanted to see me, ventured William Waltham Jr. in a shaky tone, for he knew for what his father wanted him. Now, son,'l hir. Wellington began in a clear, incisive tone, the first William Waltham started this tradition, each of us has respected it and carried it on. You know that soon you will inherit what I inherited from your grandfather, and it is now your duty to prepare yourself for this responsible position which means your future, your children's future, and their children's futuref' Yes, I understand, Fatherf, And something else, my sonf' said the elder Wellington carefully and deliber- ately selecting his words. As you already know, our great manufacturing plant began as a baby and grew with each generation, through the practical ideas of the Wellingtons then in power. It is time that you should begin thinking of what you will do in order to improve or add, as you may see fit, to this mammoth industry. Mr. Wellington rose abruptly, took :Q few steps, then glanced at his watch and said, I have a meeting, my boy, and I must go, but think over what I have said. The younger Wellington was left alone in the room he feared and hated because the portraits of his ancestors hanging above the low book cases, seemed to urge him to a career which he loathed. He felt that he belonged to nature, not to the unhuman continual movement of machinery. He realized rather hopelessly that l74l we 'jawn , J 'Q a.JHE Aa he was a victim of circumstances, and in the weeks following the interview with his father, he could not escape a sense of the utter futility of rebellion against family traditions. There were many times when he wanted to break away from all this, but he never had the strength. Rebellion seemed so hopeless. He carried this feeling of disappointed aims and thwarted purposes through his college years, but at graduation he complied with his fatheris wishes and entered the business which he would eventually inherit. Into the life of any man there comes romance. So it does not seem strange that even into the disappointed life of Williain Waltham, jr., there came a woman whom he loved and later married. In another year 'William Waltham was a proud grand- father. He felt that now he could leave the world in peace, since another had been born to inherit and carry on the great Wellington Nlanufacturing Firm. This boy was named for his grandfather William Waltham Wellington, III. As the boy grew older he heard his elders discuss the day when he, too, would enter the firm. The day finally arrived when his father called him into the Welling- ton study to tell him of his future. He knocked on the door and without waiting for an answer, walked in with a stride unknown to any Wellington. Hello, dad. Before you say anything--for I know what you are going to say -I want to tell you that I'll never go on with that mad driving machinery. My life is my own and I want to live it my way. Dad, I want something that's alive- nature, that's it, that's what I want, and Ilm going to get it. I know this is a terrible disappointment for you, lim awfully sorry, but I hope you can see things my wayf' For a moment the father remained speechless, then he looked at his son sor- rowfully and said, My boy, I didn't expect this. You have taken me by surprise. You are free to do as you please, but if ever you wish to come back, a place will be open for you. Thanks, dad . I knew youyd understand. Youyre a great scoutf' With these words the son hurried from the room and the father was left alone with his thoughts. He thought of the time when he had almost denounced his stern dignified puritanical ancestors, yet, unlike his son, he was afraid to go on with it. He wanted his son to be free, but when he looked at the stern faces of the Wellingtons about the room with its uncommon furniture, a tear fell on his hand, he wondered who was to carry on the traditions that were a part of the family. William Waltham Wellington, III. left to take courses in the different univer- sities. After many years of hard study in America he went to Europe to continue his work. During these years he did not forget his parents. He wrote them con- stantly about his work, the part of his letters which were read eagerly, and of his ambitions being fulfilled-a part which they read indifferently. In those years, he worked in the field of economics and became a lecturer. The grandfather was deeply dissatisfied with his grandson, as he could not understand why he should choose to l75l ff' , , we s .. T 4.5 i r T substitute philosophy and economics for work, when real work to this elder, more experienced Welliiigtoii, meant only machinery. Te11 years passed. The grandfather remained unconsoled and the father moved with a heavy heart. ln those ten years much had happned. The boy had reached his goal and was a success, for he knew what he wanted. But his father was not so successful. A crisis arose in thef firm which he was unable to meet-a strike, The elder Wellington had had many labor troubles in his period and he knew the nature of them. He thought that in the last one, which had occurred while he was still active he had made capital and labor understand each other and come to an agree- ment. But now a month had passed and labor still remained unreconciled. William Wellington would not let his son give in so readily to the strikers, they must be forced to acknowledge that capital was supreme over labor. But as the days steadily moved on, and the continual, even movement of machinery was not heard, he became morose to a state of despondency. One morning while VVilliam Waltham and his son William Jr. were having breakfast, he read the headlines of the morning paper: SUN OF CAPITALIST T0 SPEAK TO LABOR. f'Willi:un Wulthznn Wellington. Ill.. is to be the main sneaker at 11 special meeting for the strikers. Young Xvelliugton has refused. to discuss his subject with the newspapermen, although, it is rumored that the XVel1ington Firm will not succeed in putting over to such a great extent as before the terms to bring back their employes. The grandfather furiously crumpled the paper and flung it to the floor. That boy not only rebelled against us but he also is plotting to ruin the- firm which we have spent our lives trying to bring to the point where it was only a short time ago. It's bad enough to have the strikers against us, but our own flesh and blood. -It's-it's preposterous l HWhy, father, what has happened? What does all this mean ? remonstrated his son. What does it mean ? shouted the older man. You sit there and ask what it means when your boy publicly admits that welre wrong. Look at the paper! The younger Wellington picked up the paper and read the news article care- fullyg then he remarked quietly, Father, this doesn't say definitely that he's against us. Welll attend the meeting tomorrow and see for ourselves. The next night father and son were impatiently waiting for young Wellington to finish his speech. He had told the strikers that capital could not exist without laborg neither could labor exist without capital. Therefore, they must work co-oper- atively, and meet each other in a half-way basis in order to get along. At the close of his remarkable speech the strikers cheered him and the leaders congratulated him. Now there's a chip off the old block, growled the grandfather proudly. I knew he was going to put it over big. Didn't I tell you so yesterday? Remember how flustered up you were ? His son looked at him with a questioning glance but finally understood. l76l v' f' e?lf:NGE W V' ' X Mffh v A A A Q T a lN'Iost of the strikers had gone by this time, others were in groups talking in undertones, and three were talking with the third Wellington, when he saw his seniors. Grandfather! Dad! he said extending a hand to each. IVIy boy, I was surprised to read about your return. Nevertheless, welre both proud of you, said the grandfather. Yes, my son, I knew you'd make goodf' 'flVIy boy, interrupted the grandfather, HI see your point of view and I realize that what this firm needs is men with new ideas, who can keep the machinery working and labor and capital reconciled. I hope you'll stay, my boy. 'fYes, grandfather, I can keep the Wellington name in the industry it made, and yet study the nature of the laborers right here and help themfl That evening when the elder Wellingtons had retired and young Wellington was alone, he went into the great study where he sat in the great chair and thought- fully smoked his pipe. As he studied the portraits of his stern-looking ancestors, he smiled because he thought of the way in which they all had reacted: his grandfather, father, the strikers and himself. He got up from the chair and as he emptied the ashes from his pipe he muttered softly, Well, now the Wellington dynasty is safe. FIVE HOURS OF TERROR LESTER DIXON Just three hours before, I had entered this cave after a period of darknness and terrible pain, the cause of which I could not remember, because, when I tried to think, my head hurt and I became dizzy. Since then, however, I had passed through experiences such as no man in this day has ever dreamed of in his wildest nightmares. When the period of initial darkness ended, I seemed to be moving without ap- parent volition toward the mouth of a widely yawning cavern. I moved toward it as though some one was drawing me against my will. Within the mouth of the cavern all was dark, so I drew from my pocket the flashlight which I always carried. Its feeble rays penetrated the darkness only about a hundred feet. The deadly gloom had an exciting effect upon me. The darkness seemed to be fraught with danger. I had the feeling that the light was struggling against an intangible but formidable enemy that was trying to smother it. I imagined all sorts of stealthy movements in the side passages, which wound at irregular intervals from the main corridor in which I was. I was puzzled to account for the existence of this cave at this place as I had rec- ognized the mountain as one on which I had camped? several years before. I could plainly see that the cave had been worn in the soft rock by erosion of an under- l77l ground stream. When I had camped on this mountain, I had explored several small caverns but I had never heard of this one, nor had 1ny guide, because I had asked him if he knew of other caves in the vicinity. At last I decided that it might have been recently uncovered by a slight earthquake shock Cto which I knew that California was frequently subjectedj. I began to explore the side passages as I came to them, but, after nearly falling into large abysses several places, I stayed in the main passage which seemed com- paratively free from these dangers. As I proceeded I began to realize that ever since I had entered the cavern I had had a curious feeling of being watched. This feeling had grown in intensity until I was becoming quite uneasy. I turned my light from side to side, but whatever was watching me was quite adept at keeping itself concealed. I became so uneasy that, having no firearms with me, I turned to go back to the outer world. I went in the direction where-in my belief-the entrance lay. Suddenly, going round a turn, I threw myself backward so forcefully that I nearly fell. Before me stretched a great pit, at least fifty feet wide and extending from side to side of the passage. I knew that I had not come this way, since there had not been even a small pit in the main passage. Anxious to get out of this pitch dark before my light burned out, I went quite swiftly back to where the main corridor had turned aside from the one in which I now found myself. Hearing a noise in one of the side corridors, I turned my head in that direction. This was my undoing. I stumbled over a rock and fell, my lamp which I still grasped tightly, went out as it struck the ground. I rose and found to my horror that I had broken the bulb of the light. I reached in my pocket for matches and found none. Calming my madly beating heart and strained nerves, I tried to remember which way the entrance lay, for I realized that I was lost in this den of horrors, lost in this place where I could not see my own hand when I held it close to my eyes! In spite of the darkness, I became gradually aware that there were spots of light which finally resolved themselves into pairs of eyes coming from the corridor in which I had heard the noise. While observing the eyes, I felt my way slowly through the inpenetrable darkness toward what I thought to be the entrance. After my first sur- prise had passed, I, realized that the beasts-and there seemed to be at least fifty of them-were not very large unless they were shaped like crocodiles or snakes, since the eyes were not more than a foot or a foot and a half from the Hoor of the cave. However this might have been, there were more than enough of them to overcome me in my weaponless condition. Seeing a group of several pairs of eyes coming closer, I cautiously stooped and found a stone about the size of my head. This I threw with both hands at the nearest pair of eyes. There was a mullled thud and that pair of eyes disappeared. The others stopped and slowly withdrew, the dragging noise of their departure proclaimed that they I l73l V 'U' g lii t Wo 'P' K 49 HE SPE ATER lb ,,. X -- X We ff'-ra J U were taking the body of their dead or wounded comrade. For a short time the only sound was the horrible noise of their feasting on the body of the disabled animal. Taking advantage of their preoccupation, I managed to grope along the walls for about three hundred yards before I had to repeat my stone-throwing. The next time, being more wary, the animals were ready, and I did not hurt any of them. Wheii I advanced toward one side of the ring, the beasts there retreated and the others closed in. Then, suddenly the eyes disappeared and the sound of many, shuffling feet came to my ears. After a few seconds, I heard another sound of feet, which, although louder than the others, seemed to be made by only one animal. I strained my eyes in the direction from which the sound Came, praying for a tiny ray of light to lessen the Stygian gloom of this cave. The noise came closer and then, even as I wished for light, I got what I wanted but in a form most terrifying. Around a turning came a shining, phosphorescent form which cast a ghostly radiance that accentuated the darkness. Imagine a Tyran- nosaurus ten or fifteen feet high with unearthly, malignant eyes and its body shim- mering all over like the figures on a watch dial. This is precisely the kind of monster that was after me. In my terror, I forgot the dark and forgot the hidden dangers as I began to run from this weird beast. Emitting a peculiar whistling snort, it came toward me. As I ran along the corridor, I realized that I was running from an enemy as my first ancestors had run, because it was larger, stronger and greedier than myself. In four hours I had gone back as many geologic periods. lVIy legs began to get shaky, my breathing became labored. The beast seemed to realize its opportunity and began to gain on me. Then, joy of joys, I saw a faint light ahead. This stimulated me to fresh effort and, with a great burst of speed, I staggered through the cavern mouth with the awful monster not more than ten feet behind me. Outside the cave, I fell exhausted on the grass and waited for the end. How- ever, the monster seemed not able to pass through the opening, and with a snort of rage it retreated into its dark lair. Ely senses reeled. A sharp pain shot through my side and I was seized by a terrible fit of shuddering, Then everything grew black. When I opened my eyes I found myself lying on a seat in a large automobile. A man was bending over me. He seemed to understand my thoughts for he said: You have been in a wreck. From your watch, which stopped at the time of the accident. your car was wrecked just Hve hours ago, it stopped at 6:30 p. m. and it is now ll :30 p. m. You have been unconscious but you are not badly hurt. Your head is cut and you have hurt your side, but that is all. When he Enished talking, I silently offered thanks to God that the cave and all that it contained was only a figment of my imagination, conjured up by delirium. Then I slept. l79l gg, THE SIiE ATO1 5 TREASURED TRASH ISY HELEN PANAGOTACOS The rain was coming down in torrents when Pat arrived at Gaynelle's home. This upset their plan of going out buti started them thinking what to do. Finally, they went into the living room where Gaynelle's Aunt Louise was seated by the fire- place, embroidering, and Gay complained, Auntie Lou, we just can't decide what to do. Canlt you offer any suggestions? , Aunt Louise thought for a second, then said, Gaynelle, you know that your mother wanted you to gather up that thrash Kas she calls itj that you have lying in the attic. Why not take Pat up and tell her what everything means to you. I'm sure Pat will enjoy hearing you.', Turning to Pat, 'fReally, she's very good at itf' Oh, Auntie Lou, thatls great. I never even thought of' the trashf' said Gay- nelle. Now, run along or you'll not have time to go through it all.', The girls laughed at her banter and left the roomg a moment later Auntie Lou knew they had reached the attic, as she could no longer hear their voices. Gay, where is this so called trash ?', asked the ever inquisitive Pat. Some of it is in that trunk, and the rest is in the second drawer of that old dresser. Let's take the trunk first, said the proud possessor. r The girls opened the trunk with a key which Gaynelle produced from behind the frame of an old painting. Pat had never before seen such a congloinerationyand she thought to herself, This certainly is trash. I By the expression on Pat's face, Gaynelle read her thought, 'flt won't seem so terrible after I tell you what it means, she explained. But first, promise you won't laugh at some of the childish things. 1 All right, but really it seems so funny, especially for you, Gay, giggled Pat. Gaynelle proceeded to explain the things that reminded her of her early childhood. First, came dolls with long curls, about which Gaynelle boastfullyinformed her at- tentive listener that her mother had bought them just becauseithe curls matched her own. Then came two teddy bears, one green and one red, which she had won at a carnival with only one chance. Both Gay and Pat found additional pleasure in looking over drawings she had done in the primary grade in school. Of course, they laughed because what first appeared to be a tree, turned! out to be a many and that which seemed so much like a house, suddenly took the form of an elephant. Finally they came to a roll of papers tied with a faded ribbon. These, theyl discovered con- tained some sort of writing. They were not sure whether it was-English, until Gay- nelle remembered it was her first attempt to write her name. After much laughter, Pat spied a piece of chalk. Holding it up, she teased, Gay, could you enlighten 1ne as for what this piece of chalk could have been used ? . 1801, H ep. ' . JB ij v f'Why, Patricia Courtney, don't tell me you never played hop-scotch? Good gracious, I never thought of that! Thanks. But to keep chalk for that! and she giggled almost hysterically. Gaynelle, produced a piece of plaided cloth, some moss, branches, and several smooth, white pebbles. She didn't give Pat a chance to ask about these odd things, but said, All of these I treasure because they bring back memories of a wonderful day. We suggested to the teachers in school that it was a typical day for hiking and they agreed that it was. In the afternoon we started for the Country, and-I' Pat broke in, I fail to see what that's got to do with these things. I- f'Oh,,' interrupted Gay, I forgot to finish. The teachers were about to pro- nounce the hike a success but they didn't know a little demon was urging me to find a path to the brook. I don't understand how I escaped the keen eyes of the teachers, but I did. I hurried to reach the brook before the others did. As I was rushing down I tripped over some twigs, turned a somersault, caught my skirt on several bushes and landed by the brook. Several minutes later, the others arrived and found me crying. Sometime later, Dad wanted to see the place, so we went back and while we were there I collected a few reminiscences of the episodef, HGee, sighed Pat. You,re a strange girlly' An hour later, they had gone through note books and compositions from all grades. Then, Gaynelle took pleasure in showing two mimeographed copies of a newspaper which her class in the eighth grade had made. They were laughing over an article she' had contributed about an epidemic of measles, when they heard foot- steps on the stairs. Oh, I'l1 just bet mother's home, said Gaynelle. As she spoke her mother appeared at the doorway. Hello, dear. Why, hello, Patricia. I couldn't imagine who would be up here with Gaynelle. lway I join you? Auntie Lou is asleep, and I don't want to waken herf' Why, mother, of eoursef' said Gaynelle happily, You see, we are talking about my trashf, Mrs. Stevens looked into the trunk at the trash, and her glance was caught by a few sea shells which she picked up. Has Gaynelle told you about these ?'l she asked Pat. No, she hasn't, Mrs. Stevensf' Several years ago, we went to the sea shore. It was rather cool the first day, and the breakers were high. Cf course, Gaynelle didn't see any harm in going near the water. She began gathering shells while I was continually telling her that she was going out too far. Suddenly, a great wave covered her. When the life guard brought her in, she was still holding on to these shellsf' That's just why I kept thesef' added Gaynelle rather gravely. 1811 Te e A 5 QX i f M After Pat described a similar incident which she had experienced, Gaynelle brought out several boxes. In one she had butterflies, in another grasshoppers and other such creatures which she had collected during her study of biology. Both Gaynelle and Patricia wanted to go through the contents of the second drawer, but Mrs. Stevens thought it was too late and that they would have time the next day. Patricia, won't you stay with Gaynelle for the night ?H I'd love to, responded Pat. The three went downstairs where they met Auntie Lou. Oh, I must have been asleep whhen you came home, Nell. Have you been here long?U Yes, I was upstairs with the girls going through Gaynelle's treasured trash which I never thought could be so interesting. 'Tm going td call Patricia's mother and ask her if Patricia may stay here for the night. Pat's mother consented, and when the girls were in their room, Pat reminded Gay of going through the rest of the trash to-morrow. 'lPat, since you're so interested in it, why don't you begin collecting different articles? Then, next year, you ought to invite Auntie Lou and me to see every- thing. You know, Auntie is really the originator of all this, but she began hers after graduating from high schoolf' Hiiaynelle, I think I will begin since it's not too late and I'l1 start it by writing a note about all that happened this evening. I understand now why you call it treasured trash. It's part of youf, As they fell asleep both girls were happy, Gaynelle waiting for the to-morrow to display the remainder of her treasures, while Pat was waiting for a to-rnorrow when she too would have accumulated an endless amount of trash that she would tI'C21SU1'C.

Perhaps this strange story may help someone else in a decision between right and Wrong. If it does, then my life may not have been in yaing if it does not, at least my sanity will have been established. As the only boy and youngest child in a wealthy family, I had been pampered and spoiled all through my early life. I had always been passionate in my likes and dislikes, so when I became fascinated by the art and science of embalming, no one thought of opposing my decision to take it up as a profession. After I drifted leis- urely through five years of college, I felt that I should have a vacation before starting business seriously. My vacation, as it happened, led me into China just in time to be hailed by the first shots of the numerous wars between the Tuchons'l and the Representative government then in power. Unfortunately, during my stay there, I was the means by which one of the military governors saved his life. As a reward for my services, unwilling though they were, he, gave me a small, curious phial containing, he said, the Waters of Life. Ah, if only it had fallen and broken as he handed it to me, per- haps my life would not be the tragedy it isl It was my most priceless treasure, and as a treasure I guarded it all during the journey out of that war-torn country. Happy in the ignorance of my future, I spent the next two years in establishing my reputation as an undertaker. My family was delighted that I had finally settled down, and I fancied myself quite important until the death of my cousin, Isobel. She was a small, sweet child, loved by all who knew her. Her parents were fran- tic with grief and insisted that I try the magic water to restore her to them. I refused, for I felt that some day there would be a far more precious being to use it on. I was selfish, egotistical, and regarded the entire world with contempt. I was heartless even with the death of my kind parents. I would not part with my fluid. After this, my relatives would no longer recognize me. Fricndless, homeless, cast-off by my family, I began to realize how grave a mistake I had made. I had nothing left but my business. Since I had made such a miserable failure of the rest of my interests, I tried to make that at least a semblance of success. In this narrow groove I stayed for two more embittering years-until I found Rosamond. She was tiny and slender. Her face was sweet, almost pathetic. Her hair was golden and shimmering, she was exquisite-but she was deadl Imagine my joy, my exaltation as I saw her lying before me. My opportunity had come. Now I saw that I had kept my liquid to use on her, to make her' mine! Quickly I began to plan to bring her back to life, to take her away without anyone's knowing. I was willing to sacrifice my business-I had found something greater than that! For a considerable amount of money, I had made a wax model of Rosamond to take her l93l l , fm ea We v' is XTHE SPE TATOR X N I LGA-4. 330 3! egg' 9 place in the cofhn provided by her family. Then fearfully, tenderly, I poured the liquid on her face, on her eyes and lips, and on her tiny hands and feet. At first nothing happened. Then her eyes opened slowly to gaze steadfastly into mine. I trembled, my blood pounded in my ears. I took her in my arms and kissed her hun- grily, passionately. Softly I laid her on the bed. I was quite cool now, and calmly planned our marriage and exile to a small isolated village. For a few weeks, I was deliriously happy. I had sold my inheritance and in- vested the money so that my income was a small fortune in itself. At first, I thought my little wife was as happy as I, but gradually, she began to trouble me. Her eyes especially impressed me as being unnatural. They were blue, gloriously blue--but vacant. The look I had mistaken for steadfastness was merely one of emptiness. She never moved unless I bade her to do. She agreed with everything I said, but never added any information or suggestion of her own. Slowly I began to grasp the awful truth, I had brought the flesh to life, but the mind and the soul had not been touched by the liquid. They were dead-as dead as the flesh had been when I first saw her. I had given my heart to a woman without a soul and must now suffer because of it. It had been wrong to keep the liquid, but would it have been kindness to have given life to my mother, merely to become what my wife had become? And yet they accuse me of madness! Oh, if they only knew of my agony, of my desperation, they would understand. They say that I am neglectful, yet my wife never notices my coming or my going. I am an outcast, a man with a sad, empty past and a sadder, emptier future. I have built myself a wonderful laboratory on the other side of the village, and there I spend every day and most of every night. With a little of the Chinese water, I am trying to derive the formula from which it was made. Not that I ever intend to use it again, but just as something to make me forget, for the time, the tragedy of my life. They said I was mad when I refused them my phialg they said I was mad when I ran away, they say I am mad now because I work incessantly to gain nothing, but they are mistaken. I am not mad now. I was not mad then, I was merely learning a bitter lesson. But alas, I learned too late. SHE JANET LOUTHER She is thoughtful, kind and gay, Not the one to stop our play, She is always there to help us Wheii dire troubles do engulf us. I need say she is no other Than my own dear, charming inqther, l8+l fr' .ra Y-+ vt E THE DIAMOND RING HELEN APPLE l'She doesnlt need to think that she can lord it over us. You might think that she was a senior and I a freshman, the way she responded to my welcome, said Sally Thompson indignantly. 'fAndre Simons certainly high hats all the girls here at Nliss Stanton's School, spoke up another girl of the group gathered on the lawn. 'fLet's not talk about her any longer. That topic of conversation will only peeve us more. Let's talk about her sister, Elizabeth, she is so bright and happy, suggested another girl. She certainly has a drawing personality. All the girls who have seen or spoken to her have been completely fascinated by her charming manners,', agreed Sally. Cn further acquaintance the girls of the school felt the same way about the sisters. They thought Andre proud, while in truth she was shy and sensitive and turned to Elizabeth as a protector. Elizabeth loved Andre, and because she under- stood the cause of her reserve, she naturally shielded her from things which caused her distress. From the unkindness of one girl, however, she could not shield Andre. Anita Raymond, previous: to Elizabeth's arrival, had been the favorite of the school. She resented her loss of leadership and openly insulted the sisters. She could not seriously hurt Elizabeth because of her friendliness, but she sought to hurt her by humilating Andre. Things came to a crises one day when Anita, startled her class- mates by saying, I have lost 1ny diamond ring. It annoyed me when I was working in the library so I took it from my finger and placed it on the table. When I finished my report, I left the room but discovered that I did not have my ring. I went back to the library immediately, and found the room vacant. The only person who had been near the table, where I had been working, was Andre Simons. She must have taken my ring. I am going to her room now to demand an explanation. The girls were shocked, f'What will Elizabeth do?', exclaimed Sally. She adores her sister. Anita carried out her threat by interrupting the sisters in their study. When she had stated her mission, Andre said quietly, I have not seen the ring which you speak off, UHOW dare you suspect my sister? I have been here ever since she returned and I have not seen your ring, cried Elizabeth thoroughly angered. Anita had to leave without further satisfaction. During the week that followed, Andre's guilt became more certain in the eyes of the whole school because she avoided the other girls. Elizabeth, sick at heart, l85l . T. 'FZXUWTFPI We 'V J HE SPEQTATOR K ', we 1 A 41 I A ,eg 5:'!Eg f withdrew from social intercourse with the other students. The accusation of theft seemed to break her spirit. Once she had been the life of every class, now she could have been absent for all the difference her presence made. A short time later the sisters were walking about the campus. Anita with a companion came upon them unexpectedly. As the two groups passed, Anita called back sneeringly, How does it feel to wear some one else,s diamond ?',. This so shocked Elizabeth, who was weak from brooding over the troubleg that she fainted. Andre called Sally, who happened to be near, and together they re- vived Elizabeth. Then they carried her to the infirmary. No concern was felt about her condition until the next morning when the nurse asked the girls to be very quiet in the vicinity of the infirmary for Elizabeth was seriously ill and very delirious. A few days later when Elizabeth was in a critical condition nervously the doctor asked why the patient should talk continually of diamonds and theft. The girls were eager to give all the details that in any way would help Eliza- beth. After hearing their story the doctor said, The first time she regains con- sciousness, we must tell her that the diamond has been found other than in her sister's possessionf' This plana was carried out a few days later. Elizabeth began to improve, but the mystery was not satisfactorily solved although the girls now felt certain that Andre was not guilty. Two weeks later Elizabeth returned to her room almost well. Sally with her arms about her was saying, 'KI am so glad that you are well again. The other girls were offering the same assurances when the door opened to admit Ann Hardin, the room-mate of Anita Raymond. She had just returned from her home where she had been called by illness of her mother. She told Elizabeth how glad she was to see her so improved. Then she added, What made you so dreadfully ill? You must tell me for I was not heref, Elizabeth was silent, but Sally told the painful story in a few words. At the close Ann stared at her aghast and exclaimed. You are surelygmistaken. Why, just this morning I was looking at Anita's diamond as it lay in the drawer of her dresser. I have always admired it you knowf' This speech caused great consternation. A few minutes later a group of girls found Anita. KAWTICII did you find your diamond, Anita?'l demanded Sally angrily. Anita flushed darkly but answered, I have not found it. l'Oh, and how about its being on your dresser this morning? You should have taken Ann into your confidence. There was a chorus of scorn from the girls. In fact, their contempt for her was so great that she soon left school. In the meanwhile, the girls had glimpsed Andre's true nature and as the year went on she became as great a favorite as her sister. l36l e EWYNCQL7 e A THE SPE A1611 iff fi f Q .

We shall find that some people have planned carefully and have made a good choice, while others, greatly influenced by the success of other men and women in particular fields, have not analyzed themselves carefully to find their abilities and limitations and consequently have chosen occupations for which they are unsuited. We have made a special investigation of the graduating class of 1929K2 and this investigation has 'yielded the following information: Out of one hundred twenty-two who responded to our inquiries, fifty-two graduates were able to tell what colleges they expect to attend and what courses they expect to follow. Ten othersfindicated their decision to go to college but gave no choice of place or the courses they expect to pursue. Then there were thirty who are going to work imme- diately after graduating and have already decided on the positionsiwhich they will fill. Another twenty-two are not going to college but have no definite jobs in mind. Also there were seven who were undecided as to whether to attend college or go to work. In marked contrast to these is one girl who responded with the statement that she would get married soon after graduation. Among the professions and occupations which members of the class have chosen are: medicine, surgery, forestry, engineering of various kinds, music, journalism, teaching, nursing, undertaking, baking, printing, and stenography. The majority of those who will enter these professions and trades have a genuine desire to succeed, there may be a few whose intentions are not so worthy, and who may have chose occupations from desire to profit as much as possible in a financial way with the least amount of service rendered. Cf course this is merely a maladjustment.to the surroundings or a mistaken idea about the work and may apply to any occupation. Printing is an excellent example. To a. boy in high school a printer has what seems to be an easy and well-paid job and the boy decides to be a printer. The things that he does not usually know are that a printer serves five years as an apprentice unless he takes a special course in printing in some school like our high school. Then there is also the fact that, if he merely works as a linotyper or compositor, he will not be able to advance very far, while, if he is able to get work on the editorial staff of a paper, he may in time be the head of the paper if not actually the owner. Then there are the stenographers and the bakers and undertakers. These are some of the occupations on one side of the scale while on the other side of the scale are the doctors, nurses, ministers, engineers, and artists. Between these two extremes l91l e 1 g YEE'Tl-Wfiif 63 ,49 HE SPE , X ' f' o, k are the choices of the members of this class. TIN-sc choices give some idea of the complex world of today which calls such occupations into being. This wide range of occupations shows that the members of the class are ready to take their places in the world's business. And since it takes all kinds of people to make theworld and all types of occupations to keep the industries of the World running smoothlyjevery one has his or her part to play in the great scene of Civilization, the only trouble being that some people make mistakes and play the wrong parts. We feel quite safe when we say that none of this graduating class will make this mistake and that they will all play their parts in a manner Worthy of themselves and to the credit of our Alma Mater, Johnstown High School.

In spite of these handicaps Coach Harrick trained the men into players of ability. The victory over Jersey Shore alone is evidence of the strength gained by the team under the direction of Mr. Harrick. Captain Lumnitzer led the team through a successful season. As a final tribute we can rightfully state that the team was composed of genuine sportsmen who fought fairly to the end. MR. JOSEPH HARRICK Mr. Joseph Harrick, coach of the Johnstown High School football squad, started his football career at West Virginia University, playing tackle on the varsity squad. He spent four years under the tutelage of Coach lNIc1ntyre and Doc Spears. He graduated from West Virginia in- 1922. Since that time Nlr. Harrick has spent five years in coaching high school football. He was at Gary, West Virginia, for a year. Four years ago he took over the work at Jeannette where he made a success of the athletics. At the beginning of the present school year Nlr. Harrick came to Johns- town to take charge of athletics. He has coached the football team of the High School and has done much toward the progress of athletics in Johnstown by co-ordi- nating the activities of the three Junior High Schools with those of the High School. SENIOR PLAYERS Captain Paul Lumnitzer, one of the most outstanding players of the Senior Class, held the terminal position in both 1928 and 1929 seasons. He was elected captain for the season of 1929 and won honors with his playing. Lee Kostora was an outstanding defensive man who backed up the line in fine fashion. He played half-back in 1928 and full-back in 1929 until he injured his ankle in the Lock Haven game and was obliged to leave all athletics for the remainder of the season. Paul Good, center on the 1929 Johnstown Football team, made up part of the stonewall line of the team. He played a steady game at the center, giving his best at necessary times. He was out for football in 1928 but did not finish the season. This year, however, he made a come-back and proved his ability. Edgar Wendle was a strong defensive boy at center. Ed, who was a dramatic student of noted ability, performed just as well on the playing held as on the stage. Jack Davis played guard and filled the position in fine fashion, playing on the varsity team in 1928. ln 1929 season he played the first few games but because of an injured ankle did not play regularly towards the end of the season. 1941 Q YEFQGYCGL? -f Y if is i T TTITIIQ QSPECTATGR.

Hegwas a Wonder at spilling interference and getting under points. We expect to hear more.. of Keating in football limelight in future years. - 3.7. THE CUMBERLAND GAME J0hnSl0Wl'l-0 Cumberland--0 The first interscholastic contest of the season was with the Allegheny High School of Cumberland. A large crowd of spectators saw the Johnstown team out- play the opponentsin the first half, but the visitors had the edge in the latter stages of the game which ended in a scoreless tie. Although this opening game was not especially impressive, the Johnstown team showed promising possibilities. y THE LOCK HAVEN GAME Johnstown-0' Lo-ck Haven-19 Supported by a large cheering section, and with the high school band and cheer leaders to encourage them, the Light Blue and Black team played an exciting game of football with the heavy Lock Haven team. The Johnstown team held the Purple and White players to a scoreless tie in the first half showing especially strong del- fensive playing. Captain Lumnitzer and Kostora were the outstanding players on the defensive. The latter who gave such promise was injured at the close of the first half, and was obliged to give up athletics for the remainder of the season. In the second half, Smith, giant fullback of Lock Haven, tore loose with three touchdowns. Smith was the only outstanding player for Lock Haven on the offense. He was also strong on the defense. THE MEADVILLE GAME Johnstown-0 Meadville-20 This, the first night game of football played at Johnstown, proved to be an interesting spectacle, witnessed by about 5,500 fans. The Meadville team had an early and clear advantage over our team, due largely to the fine work of Hogan and Weber backs of Nleadville, and also to the weight of the hleadville team. Terebus, halfback of Johnstown, was the only local player who gained ground consistently, but he had to be removed from the game on account of injuries. His removal was keenly felt by the locals. Cox, 128 pound back of Johnstown, got off all his kicks in fine shape, keeping llflcadville from getting a higher score. lvfrl v f 'N' QWCGELf I ft W fvb o TITIE SPE 62 - r fNw:1:2ffo JOIINSTOVVN vw PORTAGE Kowalski of Portage skirts left end for slight gain IOHNSTOVVN vs PORTAGE Terebus with ball about to be Tzxckled by Portage men. l'77l i fav? L WYQY , YJ ' 1 H E THE PORTAGE GAME Johnstown-O P01-tagea-7 Portage, the old rival. This was a hard fought contest. In this game Johnstown showed better offensive playing than in previous games. By a concerted drive in the first period, Kowolski, fullback of Portage, made the touchdown for the visitors. The Johnstown team rallied in the later stages of the game but too late to score. Captain Lumnitzer was the outstanding player for Johnstown, being especially strong on the defensive. Terebus, who was the Johnstown star of the 1928 Portage-Johnstown game, was injured, but played a rather good game of football in spite of being handicapped. THE INDIANA GAME J ohnstown-1 5 Indiana-6 Although completely outweighed, Johnstown registered the first victory of the season against the Indiana High Eleven on a muddy playing field. Two touch- downs and a safety gave the Light Blue and Black team a margin of victory over the visitors. Rishell and Terebus, halfbacks of Johnstown, scored the touchdowns for the locals. Corraine, back of Indiana, made a touchdown for the visitors. The locals outplayed Indiana in the first three quartersg in the final period, Indiana re- sorted to an overhead game to count their only touchdown. THE ALTOONA GAME Johnstown-0 AIf00na-1 9 Johnstown was forced to bow to its old rival, Altoona, before one of the largest crowds that ever witnessed a high school game at Johnstown. At least half of the crowd was composed of enthusiastic Altoona fans. The defeat was the first inflicted on Johnstown by Altoona since 1922. The conference champions ran up a score on Johnstown lower than in any other conference game which they have played. Cap- tain Rush, Milton and Thompson scored touchdowns for Altoona. Rush also made the extra point.gg I 4 ag ..V 1 f THE FORD CITY GAME Johnstown-33 Ford City-I4 In this game Johnstown displayed more strength than in any previous contest. Captain Lumnitzer and his players launched their most determined offensive efforts of the season in the second period when they counted three touchdowns. Considering the playing of the team as a unit, it was evident that Coach Harrick's training had done wonders for the men. Jacques scored two touchdowns and Rishell three for Johnstowng while Pryor and Carney scored for the visitors. In previous games Coach I-Iarriclc had tried different players at calling signals. In this game Dick Cox, fullback of Johnstown, was shifted to the post and proved himself worthy of the responsibility. i981 v ff QM THE SPE ATO if Q V .1 T t JOHNSTOWN vs ALTOONA Largest Crowd of the Season JOHNSTOVVN vs PORTAGE Portage player cuts thru Johnstown's line for slight gain, l99l V, .3 'QV ' THE JERSEY SHORE GAME Johnstown-12 Jersey Shore-7 Yea Johnstown Rah l The great Johnstown-Jersey Shore game will be long remembered in the hearts of the players, school supporters and the fans of Johnstown. Again Johnstown was set up against players much heavier than its own men. There were many nervous points in this exciting game. The Johnstown line was somewhat of a stonewall when it held the giant backs of Jersey Shore, yielding them only 51 yards. The left side of the line, from Good to Lumnitzer, was exceptionally strong on both offense and defense. ln spite of the weight of the Jersey Shore team,.Terebus, half- back of Johnstown, found holes in the line to gain much ground. A fine type of football playing was used which gave Johnstown a higher standing in the conference. THE WINDBER GAME J ohnstown-0 Windber--0 Several thousand fans braved the cold weather to see the Johnstown-Vvindber teams in the annual Turkey Day contest. A type of football playing was used in this game that Johnstown fans have not seen for a long time. Although the players were handicapped by the cold weather, they performed some spectacular feats. As a result the teams played to a deadlock. In the first period, the Blue and White threatened the Light Blue and Black goal only to lose the ball on downs. The playing was very even in the second and third stages but in the final quarter Johns- town missed its opportunity to score when the game ended as they were in scoring territory. This game marked the end of a successful season for Johnstown, ranking the team about eighth in the conference which is composed of eighteen teams. lluuj K 4 x fxx, X L 'ZWEYQYQETVL ' 4.5 T L X HIGI-I SCHOOL BAND AT THE POINT STADIUM H011 i V YR' L W- 'Q T!
