THE SPECTATOR JOHNSTOWN HIGH SCHOOL JOHNSTOWN PENNSYLVANIA PUBLISHED BY THE CLASS OF NINETEEN HUNDRED THIRTY-TWO DEDICATION e, the class of nineteen hundred and thirty-two dedicate v this, our Spectator to Miss Ella C. Walter, for many years Head of the Department of History in the Johnstown High School. Through all the years of her teaching, Miss Walter has worked to establish and to maintain high standards of scholarship and to develop finer opportunities for education in the schools of our city. Her influence upon the lives of thousands of boys and girls who have been her pupils cannot be estimated; and we, as a class, take great pleasure in showing our appreciation of her devotion to the best interests of our school by inscribing to her our year book. FOREWORD It has been said that Everything wise has ' been thought or said, and all that is left for us moderns to do is to express old thoughts in new ways, to present at least something wise that has been thought or said in a different way. With this as our aim, we, the staff, have tried to organize the theme of our year book and the activities of the students in ways different enough to make our SPECTATOR a source of present interest and lasting memories.

WILLS CRCCK 0« CVWTJCRLANO MAP SHOWING PLACES IMPORTANT IN WASHINGTON'S EARLY EXPEDITIONS INTO PENNSYLVANIA (From A Towng Colonel from Virginia, used by courtesy of the Fort Necessity Memorial Association} WASHINGTON IN WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA. I. His Expeditions Between 1748-1770 Olive Bernard. THIS year which marks the bicentennial of the birth of George Washington is of particular interest to Western Pennsylvania. Even though Washington was a native of Virginia, some of the most important and the most historic events of his life occurred in our state; and those which belong to Western Pennsylvania are highly significant. Washington’s experiences in this part of the state cover eight periods during his life, beginning in 1748 when he made a trip as a surveyor; and ending in 1784 when he made a trip in interest of his lands, and in interest of developing waterways between the East and the West. The real foundation of Washington’s military career was made in Western Pennsylvania. His first acquaintance with the West came in 1748, when, under George William Fairfax, he set out on a surveying expedition into western Virginia, part of which is now western Pennsylvania. This expedition gave him a knowledge of Indian and frontier life that was of value to him in his subsequent expeditions. In 1749, the British crown chartered the Ohio Company which was granted 200,(XX) acres by the Virginia Council. At the head of the company was Governor Dinwiddie of Virginia. Three years later, members of the Ohio Company complained to Governor Dinwiddie of Virginia that the French were extending their fortifica- tions from Canada into the Ohio Valley, basing their claims on the explorations of La Salle sixty years before. Dinwiddie, realizing the gravity of the situation, chose George Washington, then a youth of twenty-one, as his messenger to warn the French that they were encroaching upon private property granted by the English king. Washington was instructed also to note the condition of the French forts, and to select a site for the Ohio Company’s fort. On this expedition Washington was accompanied by seven men. Two of these were Jacob Van Braam, his old fencing master, who acted as an interpreter; and Christopher Gist, a hardy pioneer who was an agent for the Ohio Company. This journey to Fort Le Boeuf was full of hardship but was attended by no me- morable happening. Washington delivered his message to the French commander, whose reply was to the effect that he was there by order of his king to hold the land which belonged to France. The return trip of the party was attended by dangers as well as by hard- ships. Washington sent all the men except Gist ahead with the horses and baggage while Gist and he undertook a shorter route. Escaping from a treacherous Indian guide, they attempted to cross the Allegheny River on a rudely constructed raft. Washington was thrown into the water, and saved himself only by holding to one of the raft logs till Gist and he reached an island where they were obliged to spend [9] PECEA10R the night. Fortunately, the river froze over before morning, and they were able to push on toward Virginia. The following year the Ohio Company made preparations to build a fort at the junction of the Allegheny and the Monongahela Rivers. To complete and defend this fort, Dinwiddie raised a troop under Colonel Fry to whom Washington became second in command. In April Washington, with less than four hundred men left Alexandria. Two months later he arrived at Great Meadows, nine miles east of the present city of Uniontown, Pennsylvania. At this place, he started to build a fort, meanwhile being on tbe lookout for French scouts. On May 28, with the aid of friendly Indians, Washington surprised a scouting party of French under Jumonville. Jumonville was shot at the first firing, and a letter of instructions found on him betrayed the real errand of the French. Shortly after this, the death of Colonel Fry placed Washington in command of the expedition. He advanced towards Fort Duquesne, but his scouts warned him that the French had been re-enforced. Feeling that the expedition would result in failure, Washington retreated to Great Meadows, and strengthened Fort Necessity. On July 3, the French attacked his forces. The French had the advantage during the whole battle. For nine hours in pouring rain, Washington withstood forces numbering twice those which defended Fort Necessity. The French finally requested a parley which Washington refused because he feared it might be strategy to gain admittance to the fort. The request was repeated with the additional sug- gestion that an officer might be sent to treat with them. At midnight, it was agreed that both sides should leave the battlefield in the morning with all the honors of war. Washington immediately set out for Williamsburg, Virginia, to make his military report to Dinwiddie. He succeeded in having his men fully commended for their services, but much to bis surprise. Governor Dinwiddie reduced his rank from major to that of captain. Washington immediately resigned his command. Historians have regarded this campaign as a defeat, but in the light of sub- sequent events, it proved both a military and a moral victory. Moreover it marked the beginning of the French and Indian War. The British government immediately prepared for military operations in America. General Edward Braddoek, appointed generalissimo of all the forces in the colonies, invited Washington to join his staff as aide-de-camp for a campaign against Fort Duquesne. On April 20, 1754, Brad- dock started from Alexandria and advanced to Cumberland. At Great Meadows, Washington became ill but Braddoek pushed on till he was within fifteen miles of Fort Duquesne. Here Washington joined him just in time for an attack by the French and Indians. Braddoek would not take advice in regard to methods of Indian warfare. As a consequence his army fell into an ambush and was overwhelmingly defeated. Braddoek himself was mortally wounded; and only the action of Washington and the Virginia riflemen saved the entire army from being cut to pieces by the French [10] and Indians. The effect of the defeat was disastrous. Colonel Dunbar, who com- manded the rear of Braddock’s Army that had not taken part in the battle, refused to advance or to stand his ground, and withdrew to Philadelphia, leaving the entire border at the mercy of the French and Indians. FORT NECESSITY, JULY 4, 1754 From a painting by David Shriver Stewart (From A Toung Colonel from Virginia, used by permission of the Fort Necessity Memorul Association] When William Pitt became Prime Minister of England, he sent substantial military and naval forces to America. France did not re-enforce her armies, so that the French forces in America were left to their fate. Washington had always urged that another expedition be sent against Fort Duquesne; and at last in 1758, an expedition was organized under Brigadier Gen- eral Forbes, with Washington at the head of the Virginia troops. A notable contrast to General Braddock’s disregard of George Washington’s advice was the respect shown by General Forbes, who asked the young officer to make for him a plan of march. The value of this plan was so apparent that it was adopted and followed. General Forbes’s expedition advanced slowly. The making of a new road through the wilderness was difficult, and the approach to Fort Duquesne was de- layed until in danger of being halted by winter weather. It is true that the French defeated an advance guard of the British under Grant, but General Forbes’s whole [11] army was too strong for them; they abandoned and burned Fort Duquesne and retreated down the Ohio. General Forbes took possession of the smoldering ruins, had the fort made defensible, and renamed it Fort Pitt in honor of the Prime Minister of England. The downfall of Fort Duquesne ended the border troubles, as Washington had pre- dicted it would. The restoration of order on the border ended the war for Virginia; hence the end of 1758 was the end of George Washington’s military service in the French and Indian War. Washington’s next expedition into the west was a peaceful one, when, twelve years later, he went out in interest of the land promised to the soldiers who had enlisted for the Fort Necessity expedition. The total amount to be given to the soldiers was 200,000 acres; of this Washington was entitled to a tract of 15,000 acres. Impatient over the delay in securing the land for the soldiers, Washington volunteered to take the matter in hand and perfect the grants for his old friends. In August, 1770, he was authorized by a conference of the officers of the troops to act as their representative to secure the lands. In October, he started for the Kanawha River. In November, after a journey which was easy in comparison with his earlier ones, he marked out at the mouth of the Great Kanawha River some corners of the Soldiers’ Land. By November, 1772, the entire 200,000 acres had been obtained, and most of the certificates of title de- posited. Of this land Washington eventually secured, by purchase from other sol- diers, 32,373 acres. It was partly in interest of these lands, but more particularly to plan for the development of this great West that he made his last trip into wes- tern Pennsylvania in 1784. [12] Ill 'PEC1AI0 II. Washington and Western Expansion Kenneth Klenk WASHINGTON in War has always been better known than Washington in Peace; although H. B. Adams says of him—“It would seem as though all lines of our public policy lead back to Washington as all roads lead to Rome.” After the Revolutionary War, no one knew better than he the lamentable condition of the country. His remedy for this condition was expansion, and his plans for expansion were for the sake of his country, and not for his own gain. In peace times he was not the distinguished gentleman taking life easy at Mount Vernon, as supposed, but an explorer and a pioneer. Washington said that a nation to live must grow, and he looked to the land west of the Alleghenies for hope and light. When men argued that thirteen weak states could not hope to hold the west, when England and France had failed, Wash- ington replied that the bond would be a commercial bond, one stronger than any military rule a country could devise. As early as 1763, he made attempts to develop the West. In that year, he was active in forming the Mississippi Company. This company was broken up when the King of England refused it a tract of land because of a proclamation prohibiting western settlements. This failure did not discourage Washington; he knew that the West would soon be luring more and more settlers. So strong was his faith in its development that he had William Crawford select good tracts of land for him near what is now Pittsburgh. At the end of the Revolutionary War, Washington resigned his command and returned to Mount Vernon where he was much needed. During the war his estates had suffered from want of a guiding hand; squatters were settling on his western lands, while thieving land agents were boldly selling them abroad. In the autumn of 1784, Washington visited these western lands partly to protect his own interests, but more particularly to study the western waterways; for he realized the importance of waterways in the opening and developing of the country. His main object in the study of waterways was to find an all-Virginia water route to the Mississippi and the Great Lakes. On September 1, 1784, he and his party started up the Potomac from Mount Vernon, and a few days later came to the home of a Mr. Stroud, where they stayed while Washington studied the rivers in the vicinity. While he was at Stroud’s, he found that the Mason-Dixon, line separated Virginia from the headwaters of the Cheat and Youghiogheny Rivers, thus making an all-Virginia water route to the west impossible. Several days later he came to the old Gist homestead, near what is now Great Meadows, the scene of his first military campaign into Pennsylvania. On his way to Gist’s he had talked with many traders about the western waterways. From these traders, too, he had learned that an all-Virginia water route was impossible, [13] Spectator not only because of the Mason-Dixon line, but because the Ten Mile Creek was im- passable, and did not come anywhere near the Little Kanawha At his tract of land near what is now Perryopolis, he arranged for a public sale of his lands in that vicinity. Here, too, he visited the mill which bears his name. This mill, erected for his agent, Gilbert Simpson, in 1774-75, by men obliged to live in block-houses as a protection against Indians, was one of the first mills west of the Alleghenies. While he was at Simpson’s, some squatters came to see him about buying the land upon which they had settled. They would not agree to his terms, so he took the case to law. In 1786. the Supreme Court at Washington, Penn- sylvania. returned a verdict in favor of Washington, who ejected the squatters. When Washington reached Beasontown, now Uniontown, Captain Benjamin Harding gave him a hopeful account of the passageway from the West Fork of the Monongahela to the Little Kanawha, assured him that the Cheat was navigable as far as Dunkard’s Bottom, and that a road led from that point across the mountains to the Potomac. Upon hearing this, Washington and his party visited the juncture of the Cheat and Monongahela Rivers, and from there followed the ridge between the rivers to the home of John Pierpont. near what is now Morgantown. Here he met General Zackwell Morgan, who told him of three roads from that point to the Potomac. From all the information which Washington had gained, he realized that the head- waters of the Potomac and the Ohio would have to be connected by road In order to explore one of these roads, he and his party returned to Mount Vernon by what was known as the New Road, leading past Fort Pendleton. This road Washington considered probably the best route for connecting the headwaters of the two rivers. When Washington was again settled in Mount Vernon, he wrote a summary of his explorations and drew up plans for a commercial union between the F.ast and the West. These he sent to Governor Harrison of Virginia. Harrison placed the plans before the Virginia Assembly, which passed a bill authorizing the forming of the Potomac Company by Virginia and Maryland. This was the first interstate cor- poration of the United States. The object of this company was to improve the Potomac, and to build a road from it to the nearest Western river. Washington was made president of the company, and prominent men of Virginia were the direc- tors. Subscriptions were begun in February of 1785, and four hundred and three shares totaling $200,000, were subscribed. In the interest of western expansion, Washington also wrote to Richard Henry Lee, President of Congress, urging governmental exploration of the West, and the building of a military road, with forts and soldiers, to protect the settlers and travel- ers from Indians. For nearly four years Washington devoted time, energy, and money to the development of this project; and as head of this great undertaking, he planned the work, and conducted much of the business. The activity of the Potomac Company gave impetus to internal improvements in other states. In 1792, Pennsylvania appropriated $100,000 for the improvement [14] of the Conemaugh, Allegheny, and Susquehanna Rivers; and in March of the same year. New York passed an act for the establishment of canals in the state. While Washington’s dream of waterways connecting the East and the West was never realized, his influence in the development of the West was far-reaching; for “He stood for a new system, a possession of the West that meant blessing to the possessor and to the possessed by commercial union. It was a pioneer idea, but in- stinct with genius, and Washington’s advocacy of it marked a new epoch in American history, and marked him as the first commercial American, the first man typical of the America to be.” WASHINGTON'S MILL On Washington Run, near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, built 1774-75 IFrom Washington and the West by Archer B.

[58] IN MEMORIAM HELEN HOLSINGER A Member of the Class of 1932 Born August 15, 1913---Died March 4, 1932 WASHINGTON THE SOLDIER He was not simply a great man, he was a great general, possessed of wonderful judgment and self-control, and yet capable of cold, quick, decisive action. • A TRIBUTE TO GEORGE WASHINGTON Eleanor Ruth A chivalrous Southern gentleman. Mastering his beautiful high-bred horse, Led the hunters on the chase for the sly foxes, Washington! O Washington! Commanding, intrepid, and prayerful, He led his army to victory, And his people to liberty, Washington! O Washington! A President stately, and gallant, Led the infant states through hardships. And built a nation. Washington! 0 Washington! Father, Commander, and President, He is not dead. His memory Still guides our Nation. Washington! 0 Washington! [63] THE SPY Mary Glumicich “Where have you been, you madcaps? Scampering over the hills without breakfast!” “Oh, father, it was so jolly! The hills looked glorious at sunrise; and the dew is so thick. Just look,” and Marianne held up for inspection a wet and muddy clog. “Knowst not that it is undignified for a female of your years to act in such a manner, Miss?” demanded Aunt Becky severely. Although it was three years since Aunt Becky had come from Boston at the death of Marianne’s mother, she had not been able to break away from her prim Puritan ways. “Aunt Becky, he a darling and have Julie get us something to eat,” begged Francois. Aunt Becky went out, muttering something about when she was a girl. At the sound of horses’ hoofs on the drive, Marianne’s father went to see who the rider might he. Visitors were so rare on the widely spaced plantations that any stranger was a welcome guest. As Marianne and Francois went into the dining room, he laughed. “Treading on your heels means I’ll dance at your wpedding, young woman.” “Thou’rt a forward youngster. Ye might wait till ye’re hid. Such impu- dence!” retorted Marianne in her best Aunt Becky manner. Francois and she had been betrothed for less than a month, and they found the world that morning, fresh, and sweet—radiant with the sun that set dew spark- ling on every blade of grass; fresh with the white clouds billowing against the heavenly blue of the April sky; glad with the joyous songs of the newly awakened birds and sweet with the odor of the lilacs. “Strike me purple!” cried Marianne’s father, coming back into the house. “Francois, the British have attacked the Americans at Concord. The country’s in a demined poor state when a regiment of arrogant Britishers are permitted to strike down our men. To arms, I say! Drive the infernal devils out of the country—hack where they belong! Gimini, I envy ye, m’ lad, ye’ll be right in the thick of it, but I’ll have to stay home and do what I can from here.” “Perhaps it can be settled in peace, Mr. Brandon. The country’s in no state for a war y’ know, and the King’s army is strong—ah, much too strong for our men to defeat.” “Humph, if it’s easy victory ye’re after I’ll have none o’ ye. ’Tis well known, sir, that what is worth while is not easily got.” “Father, Francois has no intention of holding back; of that I’m sure. If there is war, he’ll fight; never fear.” Marianne spoke as though she were trying to convince herself. She was intensely patriotic, and the thought that Francois might hesitate when his country [64] needed him was intolerable. She was not the type to swoon where danger threatened; she squared her jaw and met it. Like her father, she was determined, even to stub- bornness, when she felt that the occasion demanded it. Mr. Brandon, proclaiming that no Tory should marry his daughter, stalked from the room. Marianne’s, “We’ll be expeyting you for supper to-night,” was a dismissal, so Francois left. As if in accordance with Marianne’s mood, the sky became gray, and dark clouds gathered on the horizon. It was only an April storm, but it seemed strangely significant. At dinner, in the evening, relations between Mr. Brandon and Francois were strained, and they continued so for the next month though without an open breach. One night, Francois, having decided to enlist in the Continental Army, went to tell Marianne and her father of his decision. When he arrived, he found guests. It developed that General Washington, who had been appointed Com- mander-in-Chief of the Continental forces, had stopped at Brandon House on his way to Cambridge, where he was to take charge of the Continental Army. By nine o’clock such a terrible storm had arisen, that Francois, too, decided to spend the night at Brandon House. After the ladies had gone upstairs and Mr. Brandon had gone to see what was keeping Jacy with the Madeira for their night caps, Francois and General Washington discussed the existing state of war between England and her American Colonies. Just before Mr. Brandon returned, Francois gave his hand to General Washington, “I’ll do it,” he said, “and I give you my word that no one but you and I shall know.” Francois spent a sleepless night, tramping in his chamber, and occasionally stopping to curse every soldier in the British Army for taking him away from his sweetheart just when they were to be married. Finally, towards morning, he sat down at the table, drew the candles near, dipped the quill, and wrote a letter. He read it with haggard eyes, sighed, tore it up, and wrote again: Dear Heart: I am going to join the British forces. Believe me, darling, some day I shall be able to explain this. Believe me to be thine own, through death, and hereafter.” Ever and always, Francois. Quickly taking his cloak, he tiptoed down the hall, slipped the note under the door of Marianne’s room, crept down the stairs, and went out into the darkness. The next morning, after the departure of their guest, Marianne showed the note to her father. “The demned traitor,” he began. Then in his brusque fashion he tried to console her, “There, there, child—don’t you mind—I know it’s hard, but bear up. If I ever see that traitor again I only hope I’ll have my whip handy. Fighting against his own country, blast ’im.” [65] One year of war, twelve long months. The days dragged by for Marianne in spite of the fact that she had been kept busy managing the household affairs. All the slaves, under the supervision of Aunt Becky, were spinning, weaving, cutting, sewing—the soldiers needed clothing as well as food. Marianne had not seen Francois for a year, although she had heard that he was an aide to General Clinton. On a sultry July night Marianne was awakened by the sound of foot-steps. Suddenly the door of her chamber was thrown open and quickly closed again, “In heaven’s name, help me,” a man’s voice pleaded. It was Francois. “I’ll hide no traitor,” she said coldly. Francois quickly thrust a packet of dispatches into her hands, “Get these to General Washington somehow, they—At that moment the door was opened and several British soldiers rushed in. “Here he is!” called one. “And here’s all the evidence we’ll need against him,” said another as he snatched the dispatches. Francois offered no resistance; it would have been futile. He calmly left the house, surrounded by soldiers. Aunt Becky and Mr. Brandon, who had by this lime been aroused, followed the group to the door. Marianne remained motionless, staring into empty space. She remembered dully that it was just three days ago that the British had attacked Charleston from Sullivan’s Island. Colonel Moultrie and Colonel Thompson had beaten off the British fleet and the troops which had been landed from it, and thus they had saved the day. Their foresight, bravery and preparedness were the talk of Charleston. Now Marianne knew that it was through Francois that they had found how and when the British would attack. She knew, also, that the British method of dealing with spies was swift and deadly. Marianne and her father reached the British lines late that night. The story of the formalities to which they had to submit was endless, but finally Marianne was granted a permit to see Francois, condemned to die at sunrise. Francois turned his eyes with languid indifference when the lock of his cell grated. He supposed that it was merely Colonel Kirkland come to worry him with another interrogation, and he did not notice Marianne until her cry, “Francois!” startled him. For them the next hours were ghastly short. They forgot time and place, life and death; and it was not till a detail of soldiers came that they were brought back to a realization of the hideous present. “It is time,” said the guard in a monotonous tone, as though he had repeated it to hundreds of prisoners. “No, it can’t be—not so soon!” Marianne cried, as though the very emphasis of her denial could make the tragedy untrue. “Yes, darling, now. For my sake be brave and—.” Francois could not go on. Marianne looked up at his desolate figure—as desolate as she herself. Her foolish pride had destroyed them both, when she had had it in her power to save [66] him. As though she could endure no more, she threw her arms about his neck and buried her face in his breast. A soldier dragged her away; and in a daze, she stumbled after him. When they came to the end of the British lines, Marianne’s father was pacing back and forth at a little distance from their carriage. She staggered blindly toward him; and as he caught her and tenderly lifted her into the carriage, a volley of shots rang out. With a shudder of despair Marianne realized that, for her, life would be for- ever without hope. MOOD Martha Francis Seething With misery and despair, Wildly I fled to the woods. Wearily I leaned against A giant oak, whose massive arms Offered to me the seclusion I sought. Despairingly I poured out my woe To the heavens, To the looming oak. Gently the giant oak rustled its leaves In answer, Lightly the soft night wind brushed Against my cheek, The friendly stars twinkled down Sympathetically, And I was comforted. [67] WASHINGTON GIVES ADVICE Gwen Roberts TIME—September 20, 1783. PLACE—The Veranda, Mount Vernon CHARACTERS—George Washington; Lund Washington, His Hwce (Washington is seated on the veranda reading his journal. His niece, Lund Washington, stands at a corner watching him. Finally she quietly approaches). Lund: Good morning. Sir. La, is the journal so interesting to your excellency that you cannot spare a moment to one in dire need of your confidence? Washington: Good morning, my dear. An item in the news arrested my attention for the moment. I hope you have had a good night. Me thought you looked a wee bit worn after the Andrew’s ball last evening. Lund: Thank you, uncle. I feel much better this morning. The long drive and the excitement of the hall afterwards proved very wearisome. Ah yes, the life of a social belle is not the bed of roses you think it, Sir. Washington: Tis true, no doubt, but then all of us have our trials in this life. (He smiles indulgently). Tell me, what do you wish to confide to me? Lund: Now, Uncle, it is something serious, and I must have your full attention be- fore I can proceed. Washington: Very well, Lund, proceed. Lund: Well, I—that is—you see, Uncle, Captain Arnold wishes to marry me, and I have come to you for your consent and your advice. Washington: My dear Lund, I never have and believe I never shall give advice to a woman about to embark on a matrimonial voyage. When a woman will, she will and that is the end of the argument. Lund: Captain Arnold is a very agreeable and entertaining companion. Washington: Of that I have ample proof, niece; for I have observed your blushes after remarks of the young man which I deem were pleasing to you. Lund: For sooth, Sir, the captain has always had a fluent tongue—due no doubt to his European training. Washington: Mistress, a woman rarely asks an opinion or requires advice on such an occasion till her resolution is formed. So, therefore, I know it is no purpose to advise you to refrain when you have made up your mind. When you ask my consent and advice, Lund, it is with the hope and ex- pectation of obtaining a sanction, not that you mean to be governed by my disapprobation. But there, child, don’t look so downcast. I give my consent gladly, and may you both have a happy life. Bring the captain to me when he calls for your answer. Lund: Oh, thank you, Uncle. My father will surely agree since you favor the union. Washington: Very well, my dear. Now leave an old man to his thoughts. (As she exits Washington gazes meditatively after her). Of such as she is, will the coming generation be made, and what a blessing to the nation! [68] a lump in my throat as we strode down the trail. Below the falls, we surprised a doe and her fawn feeding, and succeeded in taking a picture before they fled. We reached the Bald Spot in about half an hour and started the descent, when 1 slipped and fell Tumbling over the rocks, I lay sprawled at the base of a ten foot drop. Woods yelled like an Indian and pointed out two copperheads not three feet in front of me. My rifle lay out of reach, having fallen from my hand. I dared not move for fear of startling the snakes. Cold perspiration streamed from me as I wiggled until I grasped the pistol on my belt. My hand shook so much it was im- possible to line the sights on the deadly creatures. Resting the barrel on a rock I fired and missed. The snakes went into action, and I emptied the pistol in their direction expecting to be struck any second by their poisonous fangs. I attempted to get up, but my foot was caught between the rocks. Rising on my knees I saw that both snakes lay dead, riddled by the hurried volley 1 had fired. Naturally we were both excited by the encounter. Woods was concerned about my cuts and bruises. However, he proved an efficient doctor and soon had me ready for the trail. Dusty, tanned a deep copper, and tired we reached Camp Reynolds. Here we stored our equipment; and, after a bath in the river and clean clothes, we went over to the Scout Camp to relax and await the coming of the morrow when we would enter Camp Reynolds for a month. LIFE Michael Wolfe Our life Is like the wind. It blows from place to place, But travels in a circle. From birth to death. [71] MY NOSE Adelaide Nokes I HAVE never questioned Nature’s generosity, but have often doubted her sense of proportion. Not in the middle, or top, or on the bottom of my face, but just there, is that oblique specimen of a feature of mine, known as the nose, otherwise my olfactory system. There are two types of deformities, classified as major and minor, the major being the type of a deformity that friends will overlook; and mine, the latter, the kind that even the best of friends will not forget. It is an accepted rule of etiquette to smile when being introduced to persons, but I have sometimes found it extremely difficult to meet their smiles when I know that behind their smiles they are concealing a little chuckle and a suggestion of a comment about my proboscis. I Holy Moses! Jumping Joses! Don’t those Nokes have big noses!) My nose might be called straight except for an interruption of a deformed bone which insists upon showing, and its tendency to turn up at the end. The his- tory of the uncontrollable bone dates back to the time when 1 was a mere child— the kind of a child that would never listen to her mother. It was then the fashion to roller-skate; and as I insisted on doing what my older brother did, I, too, had to have skates. My mother and father feared the worst, as 1 had always been a little bow-legged and had trouble staying on my feet, but they were finally won over. I was prouder than a prince when I ventured out to the street to skate. I wasn’t going to get scared like a girl. At a dare from my brother, I resolved to skate to the end of the street or take the consequences. 1 started—and took the consequences. My face became an interesting study; my eyes swollen, my nose bleeding, and the rest of it hidden by dirt. It was then that my mother resolved that I should never skate again. I was only too glad to give it up,—for a while; but after my face had healed, I was once more anxious to skate. Unheedful of my mother’s warnings, I ventured out again. This time my fate was even worse. I screamed as my nose collided with the sidewalk; but remembering my promise to my mother, I concealed the pain in my fear of being caught. It was with great timidity that I made my way to the dinner table. I was greeted by a cross, yet anxious look from my mother; a stern, yet a half amused look from my father; and an outburst of laughter from my brothers and sister. My nose, black and blue, was obviously exhibited in striking contrast to the rest of my features. Mother was the first to speak. “Adelaide, whatever is the matter?” I swallowed the choking pain that insisted upon rising in my throat and mumbled: “Why nothing. Mother, nothing.” The jeers and comments that I received the rest of the day were in them- selves, enough of punishment; but nature had to take her course, and as a result, for the rest of my life, I’ll suffer with a deformed nose. [72] CHANGING TIRES Jack Moberly NELL, I want to tell you about an adventure I had last week. You’ll latigh yourself sick, and some of the laugh will be on me, but you know I always could enjoy a joke at my own expense—that is, after I’ve had a little time to think it over. I w-as compelled to take a quick trip to Rainesville last week, and I went in my brother’s roadster. I found I had to make a detour on the Belleville Road and while I was on the detour I got lost on the worst piece of roadway I’ve ever travelled. It was a dusty, lonely, dirt road, and just when I was wondering if I’d ever get any- where—bang went a tire. I was so angry I could have cried. After thinking it over a while, I lifted the seat cushion, and what do you think that dumb egg of a brother of mine had done? That’s a rhetorical question. I’ll answer it myself. He had taken all the tools out of the car and had forgotten to put them back when he lent me the roadster. There I was, lost on a country road, with a flat tire and no tools with which to make a change. If there’s anything in mental telepathy, my dear brother’s ears certainly burned, for I thought things about him that couldn’t be guaranteed ninety-nine and forty-four one hundredths per cent pure, like the famous soap. I was as mad as a wet hen, although I was really dry and dusty. Just when I was trying to decide whether I would sit there until I died of old age or trudge through the ankle-deep dust in an effort to find a farm-house, I heard a car approaching. The word “heard” is used advisedly. It announced its approach with a collection of rattles and bangs that would have done credit to a boiler-shop. Finally it rounded a curve and came in sight, and it proved to be what I expected—one of Mr. Ford’s ante-bellum chariots. You know' the ones I mean; those brass-bound puddle jumpers that we used to see around wdien we were tiny girls. I jumped out of the roadster and waved my hands like the heroine in the melodrama, who stops the train on the brink of disaster; and the rattle-trap came to a stop opposite the roadster. The driver was a young man who could certainly have starred in the part of the hired-man in a rural drama. He was deeply sun- burned, and he had nice gray eyes. He wore a battered straw hat, and a shirt and overalls of some blue material. He had a stem of grass in his mouth, which cer- tainly made him look dumb. “You’re the answer to a maiden’s prayer,” I told him, after he had shut off the motor of his noise-maker. “What was the maiden praying for?” he asked. “Some one to come along with some tools that I can borrow to make a tire change,” was my reply. [73] “I reckon I can accommodate you, Miss,” he said. “I’ll change your tire for you.” “Oh, thank you,” I replied, “but it seems to be a terrible imposition.” “No trouble at all, Miss,” he said, as he started to work on the tire. I don’t know what imp of perversity made me think that it would be a good joke to have some fun with him, but that’s what I sought to do. “I’m a stranger in a strange land,” I said. “Reckon that’s so, Miss,” was his answer. “If it wasn’t a strange land, you wouldn’t be a stranger.” I looked at him suspiciously, but his face was blank. “What do you do with yourselves in a lonely place like this?” 1 next wanted to know. “Oh, we work, and sleep, and read the weekly papers and the farm journals.” “Don’t you ever read books?” I asked. “Well, Pap has a book. I read that sometimes.” “What is the title of it?” “It’s called The Diseases of Farm Animals ” he replied, as he continued to work on the tire. “Did you ever read Plutarch’s Lives?” I ventured. “Lives, did you say?” “Yes—Lives.” “What was this Plutarch—a cat?” he asked. I tried to keep my face straight while I explained: “No; he was a writer, and the lives were those of the great men he wrote about.” “Oh, I see,” he said thoughtfully. “Thank you for telling me.” He took off the old tire and placed the spare on the wheel. “Are you interested in art?” I asked. “Yes; I’m some interested.” “Do you know anything about Botticelli?” “No; but 1 ate some vermicelli in a restaurant once,” he informed me. “Botticelli was a painter,” I told him. “A house painter?” “No; a picture painter,” I explained. “I knew a picture painter once,” he said. “He made a picture of Grandpap. Made the old man look like a rhinoceros.” He finished the tire change and let down the wheel. “Will you let me pay you for your trouble?” I inquired patronizingly. “No; thanks, Miss. I have been repaid by your information on books and paintings.” “Will you tell me how far it is to Rainesville, and what roads I must take to get there?” I inquired. [74] “First keep straight ahead, and this road will bring you out on the highway, then you will be about six parasangs from Rainesville.” I give you my word 1 must have turned red as a beet. When the boy used the word “parasangs,” thus showing a knowledge of the Greek language, I realized that he had been poking fun at me all the time. It was a long time before I ventured to look at him. When I did he was shaking with laughter. “Can you ever forgive me for being so rude?” I pleaded. “I’m not angry,” he said. “We both had a good time; so I don’t suppose there’s anything for either of us to worry about.” “I’ll never forgive myself. If there were only some way in which I could make amends.” “You might number me among your acquaintances without making me comb creation for a mutual acquaintance who could introduce us to each other. Pap and Mom are respectable folks,” he said with a twinkle in his eye, “and I’ve never been found guilty of a misdemeanor or felony. I could produce references, if you re- quire them. If you’ll let me come to see you, I’ll come in a different car than Lizzie.” The result was that I invited him to come, and he’s coming tonight, Nell. VALLEY FORGE Agnes Udouch Amid Bitter, biting Snow, winds swirled through the pines; Men endured suffering far worse Than death. [75] MASQUERADE Jack Penrod “War,” said Lieutenant Earl Randell, “is peculiar. Just at the moment when we expect to he called into action, we obtain leave for a fortnight. I don’t under- stand it, hut I am far from complaining.” “Leaves are not uncommon for efficient officers,” boasted his companion good-naturedly. “Only last month I had a three-day leave in Richmond.” “And you haven’t told me of it!” cried Earl excitedly. “My dear comrade,” returned his friend, “you forget that this is my first opportunity to speak with you since my return.” “Then tell me about it now. How are mother and Johnny, and little Lucy, and the rest? Is old Parsons still living?” These, among a flood of other questions, poured from the lips of the young lieutenant. The two officers, Captain Walter Robinson and Lieutenant Earl Randell, were returning to their homes in Richmond for a short leave, after the long hard winter in camp. Each had given his best efforts to the Revolutionary cause. Before their enlistment they had been inseparable companions. Now difference in regi- ments had put them far apart. “There,” finished Walter, leaning back in the hard upholstery of the stage- coach, “I’ve told you all 1 know.” “But what of Ann?” asked Earl. “Did you see her while you were at home a month ago?” “Yes, I met her, but talked with her only a short time.” “Did she ask about me?” cried Earl, a note of anxiety in his tone. “Not that I can recall,” returned Walter with a sly twinkle in his eyes. This statement caused a momentary lull, but soon Earl spoke again, this time confidingly, “You know, Walter, I don’t believe Ann cares for me so much as she leads me to believe. True, she writes to me each week, but she writes of such unimportant things. Then, too, there are so many young soldiers stationed there. Do you think—?” He left the sentence uncompleted. “You shouldn’t distrust Ann,” Walter chided. They rode along silently for a period, Earl thinking deeply. Finally he said, “Do you know, Walter, I believe I’ll test Ann’s love. I think I have a plan that would work, if you’ll help me.” “What is your plan?” asked Walter beginning to show some interest. “When we arrive, I shall ask Ann for the privilege of escorting her to the masquerade ball which the Andersons are giving in our honor. Then on the night of the masquerade, I’ll send a letter expressing my regret and suggesting that you escort her to the ball.” “Oh, ho! so I am to be the spy,” laughed the other. “No, no,” protested Earl. “After you deliver the letter you will tell me if she will accept you or not.” [76] “But suppose she actually does accept me for an escort?” said Walter. “I’m very much in demand these days, you know.” “If she does,” replied Earl, ignoring the last statement, “then we shall ex- change costumes, and I will escort her myself.” “A pretty plan for a jealous lover,” commented Walter thoughtfully. “You’re being unfair with her and with me; but if it will set your mind at rest, I will carry out my part.” “Thank you, Walter,” said Earl. Shortly after his arrival Earl made his call on Ann, and she accepted his invitation so graciously that he half-regretted his plot. However, when the day of the ball came, he wrote the letter of explanation and sent it to her by Walter. He was waiting anxiously when Robinson returned. “What did she say,” he asked eagerly. “She accepted me for an escort,” answered Walter, “but she expressed sur- prise at your being suddenly called away.” “That matters not,” Earl replied. “Here, get into this French officer’s uni- form. You are to impersonate Lafayette, while I will go in your French peasant’s costume. You told her you’d be dressed this way?” “Yes.” “And you didn’t betray me?” “No, of course not,” said Robinson with dignity. “I hope you do not dis- trust me also.” When Earl arrived at Ann’s home he was surprised to have a little Dutch girl answer the door. She laughed merrily upon his recognizing her to be Ann herself. “Good evening, Mistress Ann,” he said, trying to impersonate Walter. “Your costume is most interesting and a splendid disguise.” “Thank you,” Ann replied. “Yours also hides your identity.” She continued talking while Earl held her cloak for her, and she carried on the conversation until they reached the Anderson home, where hundreds of candles shed their light through the windows. The host and hostess, in bright costumes, welcomed them cordially; and, as they moved through the rooms it was plain that Ann could be recognized in spite of her disguise. The house itself was decorated gaily for the ball. Besides this, the varied costumes made a resplendent blur of colors; and the mirrors, candlesticks, and even the buttons on the uniforms of the officers reflected the glow of light. Over the fireplace hung one of the first American flags, and immediately below it was a picture of the great George Washington. Ann and Earl were soon surrounded by a group of young dandies, pleading for dances. Without hesitation Ann gave away all the dances but two, saying to Earl as she walked away on the arm of a young clown, “I saved two for you, my dear.” [77] “By Jove,” ICarl exclaimed softly under his breath as he found a place in the background, “she never addressed me in that way in all the times I’ve been with her. Now, when she believes she is with Walter, she uses my dear.” As Ann danced he watched her jealously. She seemed to enjoy dancing with that young hotblood, Samuels, who stumbled over his own feet. Besides this, Earl fancied that she did not withdraw her hand from Samuels’ as quickly as she could have done, and this action served as fuel to the smouldering anger within him. He continued to observe her actions closely as she danced with the other young men. Here, too, she was more cordial, Earl thought, than a girl in love should be. When it came his turn to dance with her, he said quietly, “Don’t you believe. Mistress Ann, that you are being untrue to Earl, both by words and actions?” “Why should we think of that, my dear,” she answered, “when you and I are together?” By this time they were dancing and he could not speak further. “Wait until the last dance when we unmask,” he thought. “Then I shall have my revenge.” Finally the time for the last dance came. Ann greeted him gaily, took his atm, and walked with him towards the middle of the room, where the line of dancers was forming. “I am glad that this is your dance,” she said graciously. “Thank you, Mistress Ann,” he replied, and then added contemptuously, “You seemed to enjoy dancing with those young privates.” “One must be cordial, you know.” “Of course, but you seemed a good deal more than cordial.” “Oh, come now,” Ann said, “don’t preach to me. Let us enjoy ourselves.” At this moment the music began and the dancers swung into step. They curtsied, bowed and turned; they joined hands and pivoted. Each time they joined hands, Earl noticed that Ann held his longer than necessary, and once he thought she grasped it more tightly than usual. This angered him so that he lost step and was forced to drop out, amid the laughter of the other guests. Ann, however, dropped out also. Earl addressed her angrily. “Do you think,” he said, “that you are being fair to Earl in your actions to-night?” “While you are with me, why should we think of anyone else?” she replied gayly. At this Earl felt the blood rush to his face and he was about to shout, “I am Earl!” when he heard the command, “Unmask!” As he reached for his mask he said bitterly, “Now, my dear young lady, prepare for a surprise.” But her words stopped him. “No need for you to unmask, my dear. This is a game at which two can play.” Then she added more softly, “No mask could hide ynu from me.” [78] PECTATO MORNING Burke Gleason Sunrise On the hills, A scintillating beam Glances on a wee sleeping face— Waken!

THE HORRORS OF THEME WRITING Kenneth Daley CINCE the middle of January I had been sailing serenely through my English XII, studying about Mr. Burns and Mr. Carlyle and their works, until one morning my teacher announced that she had a pleasant surprise for us; we were to write themes of at least three hundred words! Soon 1 was floundering in the river of theme writing, vainly grasping at the log of a short story only to find it a vain joy. Any plot I tried to write about, I recalled I had read something like it in Collier’s or The Red Book Magazine, and this was supposed to be an original theme. Then I turned to a personal experience, and realized that I have never done anything that would interest anyone else. As I gazed around at my fellow students, every one of them had his pencil and was writing away for dear life. I inquired as to the subjects, and found that one was writing about a baby’s nursery, another about her nose, and the third about our lives as being compared to the gears of an automobile. All of these subjects revolved in my head and I wondered why I could not think of such subjects. While I was struggling with my theme writing, the dis- missal bell rang. I decided to let things ride for the time being, and to forget Eng- lish class with its essays, character sketches, and short stories. However, it just seemed that I could not leave it behind; for in the halls I heard, “What are you going to write about, Henry?” “Oh, about a fellow named Specs, and how he wiped out a machine-gun nest.” That night while I was lying in bed pondering the day’s events, I suddenly remembered my theme writing. Everything was so quiet that I figured now would be a good time to think up a plot. Let me see ... I have it—I will write about a fellow and his adventures up North. He will be tall and strong, with red hair and blue eyes and he will be able to ride logs and to paddle canoes and may be rescue his—But, oh bosh! That’s too melodramatic. Then I figured I had better try my luck at a character sketch. I would describe a girl I saw on the stage in assembly. [79] She wore a white shirt waist and a red jacket and had brown wravy hair. But how should I start to describe her? I remembered that a former English teacher had said something about everything in a character sketch leading up to something else, but the girl’s hands were not placed so that they led to her face. This teacher also said that all themes should be coherent, and that we should not have plural subjects and singular verbs. I wearily turned over and went to sleep, only to dream that a short story had captured me and turned me over to his henchman, essay and character sketch, for torture. As I entered class next morning, I decided to write an essay on my troubles. I discussed with the teacher the advisability of doing so; she told me it had possi- bilities, but to beware of my spelling. I returned to my seat feeling elated. Had I not been trying for three days to write a theme? I began and was interrupted by the teacher’s voice, which said that we should hereafter kindly refrain from using contractions—as if I had not enough to worry about without thinking of this. I started to write my objections, only to find that they diminished and faded until there were none left, and 1 began to wonder if my horror was not all my imagina- tion. AGE Old, forlorn, bewildered, Weakly he leans upon his wooden staff As he shuffles down the street. His dim glance appraises the world Unseeingly, His sensitive ear resents the Unfamiliar sounds. A car misses him narrowly. Like a flash he raises his staff And his tottering arm gestures Fiercely after the departing motor. The serene purr of the engine Reaches his outraged senses, Mocking his tottering arm, His helplessness. [80] A FOREST FIRE Carl Gillespie I The shifting danger advances. Helped by the elements, Clothing the towering spruce in garments of crimson And lighting the night with its flickering flame. On to destroy and lay waste all within its reach; Eating like acid its way through the brush, Fighting to win over the toiling ants in its path. II The half-naked humans, so small Beneath the hovering foe, Toil and sweat in feverish haste To stay the advance of the glowing disaster. They work as one man, All the same common clay, Ethiopian and Semite, rich and poor. Struggling side by side, Fighting to save their homes and dear ones from devastation and ruin. III Animals and men alike feel the danger And alike they strive to conquer and regain their own. Toiling steeds, foaming and glistening, help their masters Quell the red rebellion. Helpless small animals flit by. Seared in their final stand By the doors of the homes they love. IV The fight against odds continues, But man will conquer And rejoice again in peace.

Johnstown—28 Westmont—35 Westmont overthrew Johnstown in a hard fought game which went into an extra period, all Westmont’s. Kamisky and Neafach stood out for the winners, while Elliott and Kirby played well for the losers. JOHNSTOWN GYMNASIUM—JANUARY 12 Johnstown—22 Portage—21 Portage was upset by Johnstown in a fast and close game. Portage up to this game had no defeats, hut the Johnnies proved too strong for the Portage de- fense. Guarding on the part of Demo stood out for Johnstown, and Tom Quin’s sharp shooting featured for Portage. JOHNSTOWN GYMNASIUM JANUARY 15 Johnstown—9 Altoona—24 Altoona easily defeated Johnstown in a one-sided game on the local floor. Platt starred for Altoona; Kirby and Lewis played well for Johnstown. JOHNSTOWN GYMNASIUM—JANUARY 19 Johnstown—25 Ferndale—15 Ferndale came to Johnstown with the idea of taking the first of the two game series. Their hopes were lost when they found Johnstown’s defense too tight and their offense too fast. Kirby and Lewis featured for Johnstown; Huber and Hite paved the way for Ferndale. JOHNSTOWN GYMNASIUM—JANUARY 26 Johnstown—28 Hollidaysburg—13 Hollidaysburg players, who annually rank among the best high schools in this district, were easily defeated by Johnstown. Hoover starred for Hollidaysburg; Lewis bagged 13 points for Johnstown. [90] CATHOLIC HIGH GYMNASIUM—JANUARY 29 Johnstown—14 Catholic High—16 After one of the most bitter battles of the year, which involved the Johns- town Central High and the Johnstown Catholic High, the Catholic High boys edged out the Johnstown boys by a single two pointer. Abele took the game for Catholic High, while Demo proved strong for Johnstown. WESTMONT GYMNASIUM—FEBRUARY 2 Johnstown—16 Westmont—13 The Johnstown boys and their followers invaded Westmont and got their first taste of defeating the Red and Gray boys. Heffley and Lewis kept Johnstown in the running, and at the same time Kamisky pul pep into his team. HOLLIDAYSBURC GYMNASIUM—FEBRUARY 5 Johnstown—23 Hollidaysburg—16 Johnstown went to Hollidaysburg with the hope of handing the Bears their second defeat. They succeeded by a close game. Johnstown’s team work was strong throughout the game. JOHNSTOWN GYMNASIUM—FEBRUARY 9 Johnstown—16 Windber—18 Windber High and its supporters came to town and toppled the locals in the last minute of action. The Windber team as a whole featured. FERN DALE GYMNASIUM—FEBRUARY 16 Johnstown—12 Ferndale—11 In a thrilling struggle at Ferndale, Johnstown defeated the Yellow Jackets for the second time, when Kirby bagged in a field goal just as the gun cracked. Telenko showed good form for Ferndale as did Lewis for Johnstown. ALTOONA GYMYNASIUM—FEBRUARY 19 Johnstown—16 Altoona—13 The biggest victory of the year was Johnstown’s defeating Altoona at Altoona. Altoona was said to have had an edge on Johnstown, but failed to prove it. Rudisill and Platt stood out for Altoona; Wesner and Demo for Johnstown. [91] JOHNSTOWN GYMNASIUM—FEBRUARY 23 Johnstown—22 Catholic High—21 Johnstown went into the game with one idea in mind, to break Catholic High’s winning streak. They succeeded, for Catholic High found the score wh'ch the Blue and Black established in the beginning of the game too much to over- come. Pejack and Abele were the outstanding players. WINDBER GYMNASIUM—MARCH 1 Johnstown—25 Windber—18 Johnstown evened up the score with Windber by a fast spurt in the final quarter of the game. Elliott took the game for Johnstown; Worley and Ripple showed good form for Windber. FRANKLIN GYMNASIUM—MARCH 9 Jchnsicwn—33 Cresson—23 At the end of the regular season of basketball, Johnstown was elected into the W P. I. A. A. eliminations for the state championship. Cresson was Johns- town’s fir t opponent. In this game, Cresson found Johnstown’s lead too strong to overcome, and Johnstown came out on top. Pejack and Elliott showed good style of playing for Johnstown. Kiste displayed wonderful shooting for Cresson. FRANKLIN GYMNASIUM—MARCH 12 Johnstown—17 Ferndale—13 The game was close throughout and many thrills were given to the fans. Pejack and Kirby showed good form for the Blue and Black boys. Telenko’s all around floor work featured for Ferndale. ALTOONA GYMNASIUM—MARCH 19 Johnstown—22 Huntington—27 Johnstown met Huntington on a neutral floor at Altoona. The game which followed was fast and furious. Johnstown found Huntington’s lead too large to overcome, and the game ended with Huntington victorious.

Their gaze on Freedom's great experiment. TERM XII GIRLS The Term XII Class has the distinction of being the largest graduating class in the history of our high school. An enrollment of two hundred eighty-eight is represented in the various courses as follows: College, one-hundred forty; Com- mercial, sixty-three; Vocational, fifty-two; Liberal Arts, twenty-six; Teacher Train- ing, seven. [96] fr TERM XII BOYS Not only has this class kept high scholastic standing, as the honor roll shows, but the members have entered whole heartedly into the work of the clubs of the school, and have held many responsible positions; in the various class ac- tivities and social functions. The class was under the leadership of Miss Margaret Evans and Miss June Hoffman, the sponsors; and the following class officers: Ralph Shannon, President; Cora Hirst, Vice President; Betty Nenstiel, Secretary; and William Diamond, Treasurer. 197] PECIAIOR TERM XI GIRLS THE TERM XI CLASS This group, the next senior class of Johnstown High School, has a student body of two hundred and three. To this class will fall the responsibility of carrying on the traditions and customs of this school. The class has for its sponsors Miss Helen Lockard and Miss De Grace Thomas. The present class officers are: Edward Kostora, President; Helen McGraw, Vice President; Margaret Livingstone, Secre- tary, and Richard O’Connor, Treasurer. [98] [99] TERM X GIRLS THE TERM X CLASS The present class of Term X’s is the largest class in the high school; it has a membership of four hundred and eleven. This group is well represented in talent and in scholastic standing. The members have also successfully entered the various organizations and clubs of the school. So far the group has not been organized, consequently does not have officers and sponsors. [100] TERM X ROYS [101] TERM IX GIRLS THE TERM IX CLASS The term IX class has a total enrollment of two hundred forty-three; one hundred forty-nine boys, and ninety-four girls. There are representatives in all the courses offered in the school: vocational, liberal arts, college preparatory, and four year commercial. The class has not yet been organized, but the members show lively interest not only in their courses, but more especially in the various activities. [102] [103] THE TERMS VII AND VIII COMMERCIAL GROUP The term VII and VIII Commercial group consists of eighty members, of whom twenty-six are members of the term VII class, and fifty-four, members of the term VIII class. The members of these classes receive their practical experience by working in the offices of the junior high schools part of the time. This year Catherine Marks received a medal for proficiency in shorthand and typing; Amelia Becker was awarded the bookkeeping medal. These medals are awarded each year by the Chamber of Commerce to the two members of the class who are outstanding in the aforementioned subjects. The officers of these combined groups are: President Michael Bobko; Secretary, Erma Simmons; Treasurer, Amelia Hanus. [104] THE STUDENT COUNCIL Every Friday morning during Activities Period, a large group of enthu- siastic students assembles in room 429. These students make up an organization that is known as the Student Council. They were elected as representatives from (heir respective home rooms. The officers of the Council were also elected directly by the student body. The officei‘3 for this semester of 1932 are: President, Tom Heffley; Vice President, Frank Kirby; Secretary, Jane Thom; Chaplain, Warren Phenicie. Miss Jessie Tomb is the sponsor for the Council. This representative body plays an important part in the affairs of the school. It aims to promote keen interest in school activities and to create good school spirit. It sponsors many campaigns and helps the school in general. It also sends repre- sentatives to the service clubs of the city: namely, Kiwanis, Rotary, Lions, and Business and Professional Women’s Club. [105] THE BLUE AND BLACK STAFF The one hundred and fifteen members of the lilue and Black staff meet every other Thursday in Room 419. The roll is called and assignments are given to the members. Usually, there is a souvenir such as an appropriate verse of the season, or a trinket. Carolyn Segel is the editor, and Mary Benshoff her assistant. The other officers of the staff are: News Collector, Dorothy Brown; Literary Editors, James Kennedy and Robert Hunter; Exchange Editor, Walter Link; Assistant Ex- change Editor, Robert Pringle; Recorder of Verse, Curtis Bauerle; Printer, Alvin Schrott; Cartoonists, Frank Pent ., Louis Fink, Leonard Kiziuk. The adviser for the publication is Miss Myra Swisher. During the year just closing a new plan has been used. Instead of printing the paper in the school, the Blue and Black has been printed every other Saturday in the Johnstown Tribune. It tells the parents and friends of the high school stu- dents just what is occurring in the school, gives write ups about some of the promi- nent students, shows the scholastic standing of the boys and girls, and publishes stories, essays, poetry, and cartoons which add interest to each issue. [106] THE LIBRARY STAFF The Library Staff is composed of thirty-six girls from all classes. There are two groups in the club, the Senior Staff and the Junior Staff; the former are upper term girls, and the latter, girls sponsored by the Senior Staff members. Miss Hoge, the Librarian, is in charge of this organization, and each Monday morning she gives the members interesting lessons in library training. The school gains much by the work of these girls, as more of our students become acquainted with the system used in our library, and thus more students can successfully help them- selves and be of service to others in finding material needed The officers of the staff are: Agnes Udouch, President, and Cora Hirst, Secretary. To the right in the above picture, a group of the Term XII’S is shown dra- matizing a scene from Louisa May Alcott’s well-known novel, Little If omen. The girls in the play are: Neva Fleegle, Esther Evans, Agnes Udouch, Vivian Van Horne, and Dorothy Small. [107] THE BAND For many years the band has been an outstanding institution of Johnstown High School, and twice has been honored with the Pennsylvania State Champion- ship in high school band contests. Our present band is well known in the city, having played at all of the football games; appeared on the stage as guests of the Cambria Theatre; marched in Armistice Day parade; marched at Conemaugh-Franklin Armistice Day contest event, where the organization won first place, a prize of twenty-five dollars; marched in a campaign for the Community Chest; played a concert for the Boys’ Motor Patrol; and the greatest thing of all—played a three day stage attraction at the State Theatre for the benefit of the Students’ Relief Fund. Our band boasts of an organization of seventy-five pieces. Under the capable direction of Mr. C. Porter Huntington, the members have practiced every Tuesday and every Friday morning. It is the custom for the school to award each of the seniors of the band a small pin in appreciation of their work. This year there will be seventeeen awards. [108] THE ORCHESTRA With the exception of the contest orchestra, which is augmented by musi- cians from the junior high schools, our present orchestra is the largest that has ever been assembled in senior high school. The enrollment numbers sixty-one mem- bers. The orchestra is well balanced except for the small numbers of violas, cellos and bass viols. Our orchestras usually have lacked enough of these instruments, probably because they are difficult to play. Mr. Huntington, director of the orchestra and band, conducts orchestra prac- tices during activity period each Monday and Thursday. The different sections— that is, the first violins, second violins, cellos, flutes, clarinets—have rehearsals after school. During this semester, the orchestra studied the first or allegro movement of Beethoven’s Third Symphony; the difficult fourth movement of Dvorak’s Sym- phony in E Minor, better known as the New World Symphony; and the second move- ment of Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony in A Major, besides a few short semi-classi- cal numbers. When it was announced that our orchestra would not participate in the Pennsylvania Forensic League Contest, the members were considerably disappointed, but they felt relieved when word came that the National Events were canceled, and efforts were being made to postpone the State Events until next year. [109] THE GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB From year to year the Girls’ Glee Club has been a source of interest to the girls of the school. Under the direction of Miss Weaver the club has improved to such an extent that the girls are able to sing without accompaniment. Of the seven numbers which they sang together with the Boys’ Glee Club at their concerts, only one was with accompaniment—the accompaniment in this case being the organ. The Combined Chorus sang at the Annual Spring Music Festival, given at the Johnstown High School auditorium; at a meeting of the Johnstown Music League in the Methodist Church; at a meeting of the Rotary Club; and at a meeting of the Kiwanis Club. The members of the chorus, with Miss Weaver, have had not only a success- ful but a very pleasant year. [110] THE BOYS’ GLEE CLUB The Boys’ Glee Club consists of sixty-five members, each of whom sings either first or second tenor or first or second bass. The tenor sections practiced on Monday during the Activity Period, and the bass sections practiced on Thursday at the same time. This continued for about two and a half months of the term. Then the sections practiced with the Girls’ Glee Club in preparation for the con- certs given by the combined clubs. [Ill] THE GIRL RESERVES The Girl Reserves is an organization, the purpose of which is to raise the ideals of the girb of our school. The symbol of the Girl Reserves is the triangle within the circle. The triangle represents the scope of life of the girl at the present, and the circle represents her ever widening view' on life, or her varied interests in life. The colors are blue and white, the blue representing truth, and the white purity. The officers of the club are: President, Rebecca Findlay, Vice President, Margaret George; Secretary, Ruth Leber; Treasurer, Margaret Kurtz; Chairman of the Service Committee, Ardythe Reighard; Chairman of the Program Committee, Laurada Osborne; Chairman of the Dramatics Committee, Anne Gerber; Chairman of the Social Committee, Mildred Fisher. [112] IHI THE HI-Y CLUB The Central Hi-Y Club is the oldest Hi-Y club in the Johnstown District. The number of clubs now being sponsored by the Johnstown Y. M. C. A. Boys’ De- partment is twelve. The Central Club has, through the years, furnished the back- ground for further Hi-Y development. The President is William Clark; Vice Presi- dents are Henry Elden and Jack Stewart; Secretary, William Goetz; Treasurer, Jack Moberly; Chaplain, Charles Schenkemeyer. The Sponsor of the Central Club is Price Jones. The Club holds its regular weekly meeting on Monday evenings at the Y. M. C. A. Programs, wh:ch are varied to include discussions, speakers, and social times, are held by the Club. The stated purpose of the Hi-Y Club is “to create, maintain and extend throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian character, through Clean Speech, Clean Sportsmanship, Clean Scholarship and Clean Living.” Membership is open to any student in the High School who desires to apply. The Hi-Y movement in Pennsylvania now numbers over 500 clubs; more than 130,000 high school fellows throughout the United States are members of the Hi-Y. The Clubs in the Johnstown District include Central, Southmont, Westmont, Colored Boys, Ferndale, Windber, Joseph Johns, Garfield, Cochran Roosevelt, Cochran Alpha, Benscreek, and Edgewood. [113] THE SPANISH CLUB A group of happy, expectant students meets in the Audion every other Thursday. Ask anybody there, and he will tell you that this is a meeting of the Spanish Club. The meeting is opened by the president who talks in Spanish, The Secretary reads the minutes, and business is taken up. Then comes a program of music, current events, and talks on Spanish subjects. After the program, there is dancing till five-thirty. This year the officers were: President, Maynard Womer, of Term XII; Vice President, William Palmer, of Term X; Secretary, Helen McGraw, of Term XI; Treasurer, Margaret Hammers, a Post-Graduate. The Spanish Club belongs to the World League, an organization which tries to further world peace by bringing together by correspondence the students of lan- guages the world over. At every meeting the president gives news of the World League that has been sent to him by its sponsors. [114] SCENE FROM THE TOREADORS This year, the Spanish Club gave The Toreadors, a light opera in two acts. It is of a comic nature and has a happy ending. The characters were: Senor Dic- torio, played by Edward Kostora; Benita and Juanita, Dictorio’s twin daughters, acted by Margaret Hammers and Irene Lewis; Juan and Pablo, the lovers of Benita and Juanita, performed by Maynard Womer and Charles Lotz; the two beggars, Senor Swateo and Senor Whackeo, played by John Skurner and Nick Hobar; and Dolores and Maria, friends of Juanita and Benita, acted by Beatrice Bow’ser and Mary Grace Nesbit. In addition to these principals, there was a chorus of boys and girls numbering about thirty-five, and two dancers, Cecilia Eperjessy and Jane Study. The story is: Senor Dictorio decides that he wants his daughters to marry the great toreadors, Senor Swateo and Senor Whackeo who are coming to visit him. His daughters object and so do their lovers. The lovers meet two beggars and bribe them to act as Senor Swateo and Senor Whackeo. The beggars are relieved of their bargain when a message arrives from the true toreadors saying that it wras impossible to come as their wives would not allow them to accept Senor Dictorio’s invitation. The beggars go on their cheerful course of begging, leaving Juan and Pablo to marry Benita and Juanita. The operetta was directed by Miss Laura Merritt and Miss Helen Lockard, Spanish teachers and sponsors of the Spanish Club. [115] THE GIRLS’ PEP CLUB Among the prominent organizations of the school is the Girls’ Pep Club, which was organized six years ago for the purpose of stimulating good sportsman- ship and arousing a spirit of pep and friendliness among the girls of the Johnstown High School. Since the first year, the membership, the activities, and the sphere of the Pep Club’s influence have grown, until today the club is one of the most prominent and most desirable organizations of the school. The membership has increased in the six years of the club’s existence from twelve charter members to sixty at the present time. The present officers are: President, Betty Nenstiel; Vice President, Fern Layman; Secretary, Mary Penrod; and Treasurer, Frances Cupp; Miss Fleck has acted as sponsor. [116] THE BOYS’ PEP CLUB The Boys’ Pep Club is classed as one of the outstanding clubs of the school. This club is active in all social events, athletic as well as scholastic. Completing its fifth year as an organization, it boasts of a membership of one hundred and fifteen students. This year’s organization has been under the capable direction of Miss Sophia Moiles, an active sponsor, and the following officers: President, Arthur Sim- ler; Vice President, Scott Griffith; Secretary, Charles Callahan, and Treasurer, Maynard Womer. Each year, according to an old custom, there are two Pep Club parties, the Girls’ Pep Club giving the boys a party in the first term of the year, and the boys entertaining the girls during the second term. This ,year the parties proved to be especially delightful. In all activities the Pep Club has again proved itself to be an institution of worth to the school, and especially to the students who were fortu- nate enough to be members. Of the membership this semester, there were twenty- nine boys who belonged to the graduating class. [117] PLUMBING SHOP MORNING CLASS Cloyd Epply, Orel Brown, Joe Laposata, John Sikirica, Elvet Morgan, Francis Friedhoff, Thomas Evanisko, Frank Berg, William Audi, George Zuenges, William Abdalla, Aldridge Tilley, Michael Danko.

This is the only shop work which has to be taken outside of the Senior High School. The group of seniors numbers eight hoys. Those sitting, from left to right are: William Everhart, Edward Snyder, and Frank McVay. Standing, from left to right they are—Mr. S. L Porter, instructor, Charles Byers, Michael Payerchin, Daniel Davis, Taylor Shaffer, and Joe Cover. [120] THE BOOSTER CLUB The Booster Club consists of about sixty members, under the direction of Mr. Lockner. The club was organized four years ago for the purpose of supporting school activities, ticket sales, and other campaigns, put on at Johnstown High School. The club has raised and maintained the standards of student conduct in the school. It has made a record of never having lost any campaign that it has undertaken. Probably the club’s motto, “Always ready to serve,” has incited the members to this achievement. The officers of the club are: President, Jack Penrod; Vice President, Adelaide Nokes; Secretary, Betty Nenstiel; Treasurer, Ralph Shannon.

The thought of a long vacation is a happy one, but farewells to our classmates make us realize the meaning of commencement—the end of our careers in J. H. S., and,—we wonder what next? [129] CLASS HISTORY Robert Hunter T HEN we consider the fearless Term IX’s in our school today, we have a ” very imposing picture of ourselves, as, on September 2, 1930, we timidly peeped through and finally entered the doors of the Senior High School. We came with the idea that we had put away our childish actions, but habits acquired in the Junior Highs were hard to shake off; and though we have convinced ourselves of the fact that we cannot become students without effort, some of us are still struggling to attain real scholarship. In the second week of school when the Blue and Black Staff was organized, many of us were electrified at finding our names among those chosen to work on the paper. Some of us were elected into the Booster Club, while others joined the Girl Reserves and Hi-Y Groups. Those of us with musical ability soon found our places in the band, orchestra, and the glee clubs, while members of our class who had an interest in acting were included in the dramatics department. While we were trying to keep on the crest of the social wave, we became lost in the whirlpool of themes, chemistry, geometry, and history. As a result of mixing too much pleasure with work, our first report cards, were satisfying neither to our parents nor to ourselves. The ancient fallacy that high school work is easy was exploded, and we set to work. The next two months passed quickly because they were interspersed with such high spots as the HijY Girl Reserve Party, the Booster Club dance, and the well known play. The Birds’ Christmas Carol. By far the most exciting events of the fall term were the football games. We were literally swept along by the excitement, even though our class was not repre- sented on the first team. This succssful football season brought us in good spirits to the Christmas vacation which followed. Football gave way to winter sports, and we were thankful for the heavy snow during the vacation. At the end of our vacation, we regretfully returned to school, but work had to go on, if we wished to become Term X’s. We all enjoyed the Senior Assembly of 1930 , although we had no part in it. We were awed by the noise and penny-throwing around us, and resolved never to appear on the stage if such would be our fate. We knew about a Senior Dance, and one or two venturesome couples of IX’s attended. Although they tried to act like Seniors, they fooled none but themselves. On March 20, the College Club, of which many of our teachers are members, gave a puppet show which proved especially interesting to Miss Glenn’s Term X English Classes, as they were, at that time, dramatizing scenes from Hawthorne’s House of Seven Gables. In presenting these short scenes, we as operators had al- most as much fun as the audience. Several times the puppets lost their potato heads, not figuratively but literally, and we had difficulty both in restoring the heads and in restoring the thread of our interrupted dialogue. [130] We did not become organized as a class until April when we elected Ralph Shannon, President; Cora Hirst, Vice President; Betty Nenstiel, Secretary; and William Diamond, Treasurer. These same officers have been retained. Our class party, late in May, was, to us, the last important event of the year. We almost succeeded at this party in imitating the Term XII’s in gay recklessness. Last September we returned to school restless from vacation and rather unmanageable; we soon became sobered by our debates in English, experiments in physics, and problems in “Trig.” We could not, however, have been called scholars, for we had yet to attain that standard. We worked industriously for several months with high social spots here and there. Then again we were distracted from our studies, this time by plans for the Senior-Senior, which we gave for the graduating class on December 4. The decorations which were in the form of an ice castle must have been very real to some of those present, for they sat frozen to their seats until refreshments were served. A visitor to our school on the first day of the second semester of the year would not have mistaken any one of us for anything other than Term XII’s. That first day we appeared as nonchalant as the graduated Seniors. Those of us who plan to go to college are making the most of our high position, for when we enter college as freshmen, we know we must begin all over again. After the Spectator staff was organized, the 120 of us who are to make the year book began to realize what a job it was. We on the literary staff racked our brains for ideas for the literary and humor sections, while the business staff can- vassed the town for ads. The way some of the business houses evaded members of the business staff were clever as well as humorous. The art staff did their part in carrying out the theme of our Spectator through illustrations. The experiences of the photographers with some members of our class must have been trying. As one pupil expressed it, “You can’t make a castle out of a pup tent.” This was not the truth in all cases, for there are very good pictures in the class section of our book, and we may be surprised by offers—to certain people—from the movies. Into our last month of school, wre have crowded the Senior play, the Senior- Senior, the Senior dance, in addition to other group entertainments. And now will come that last week of so called Senior Vacation, when the very people who skipped periods and played hook will come back to parade the halls, while the envious under classmen are sweltering in examinations. Another joy of that week will be our picnic, for we have not become so sophisticated that we do not enjoy a class picnic. And then will come that last culminating event, commencement, where at the close of a program by our classmates, we shall receive the diplomas which represent all the bluff, the work, and the play that we did to earn them. Soon we shall have left only the memories of those now too short years spent in the Johns- town Central High School. [131] PECIAI OR THE CITY OF DREAMS-COME-TRUE Tillie Harris T?AR away, in the Land of Heart’s-Desire, there is the City of Dreams-Come- True. This city, reached by only one way—the Road of Hard Work—is the most modern of metropolises. People engaged in every vocation throng its streets and many students throng the large University. Let us take an imaginary trip to this marvelous city and see the members of the class of 1932 who have been fortunate enough to realize their dreams. As we enter the city, the first objects we see are the buildings and campus of the University. Remembering that college was the goal of part of our class, we ask at the College Office to see the names of the students from Johnstown. En- rolled in the college for general work are: Christine Auses, Curtis Baurle, James Bender, Mike Berozowsky, Agnes Bowman, Vincent Brown, William Bungard, Morna Carney, Frances Cupp, Kenneth Daley, Michael Danko, Andy Demo, Bill Diamond, John Diebert, James Dimauro, Henry Elden, Margaret Edwards, Vera Farabaugh, Alex Freud, Anne Gerber, Edwin Gordon, Jack Grantham, Scott Griffith, Tom Heffley, Don Hershberger, Florence Hoover, Ray Horn, Evelyn Jacoby, Eliza- beth Jones, Robert Hunter, James Kennedy, Robert Kerr, Ellsworth Kimmell, Frank Kirby, Kenneth Klenk, Theresa Komisar, John McAfee, Jane McAllister, Jack Moberly, Elvet Morgan, Louise Nicholson, Bernetta Bewak, Josephine Swope, Elec- tra Panagotacos, Jack Penrod, Warren Phenecie, Louise Ream, Joseph Reiter, Helen Rodgers, Harry Rosenbloom, Eleanor Ruth, Eleanor Sanner, Ralph Shannon, Louise Sharpe, Arthur Simler, Thelma Sutter, Francis Swaney, Jane Thom, Drusella Thomas, Joseph Thompson, Ned Van Scoyoc, Jean Van Scoyoc, Jack Woodward. In the School of Dentistry are Harry Holzman and Ray Reininger; in the School of Medicine, Ray Brady, Vincent Buckley and Otis Holliday; in the School of Music, Helen Mamula, Louis Siciliano, Rebecca Findlay, Wilma Hansen, George Peterson, Irene Lewis, Rose Esther Long, Marjory McDowell, Ruth Moore, Mar- garet Peterson, Warren Strayer. Among the embryo engineers are Burke Gleason, Melvin Angus, William Audi, George Polishuk, Roy Shank; and among the ranks of future teachers, Olive Bernard, Mary Emerick, Esther Evans, Tillie Harris, Elaine Hastings, Margaret Kurtz, Phyllis Larrimer, Agnes Udouch, Henry Varner, Agnes Louise Wieheier, Paul Zimmerman, and Nancy Polishuk. Joseph Aaron is in Law School, Clifford Aschom in the School of Forestry, June Eppley in the School of Pharmacy, Betty Nenstiel and Adelaide Nokes in the School of Commerce, and in the School of Physical Education are Jean Burrows, William Clark, and James Ringler. Not far from the University is a large hospital with a huge porch, where a crowd of young nurses are seated. We recognize Donna Barnhart, Ida Bock, Hester Burns, Mildred Byroade, Catherine Connor, Ruth Cullen, Betty Davis, Dari Fisher, Ellenor Furry, Helen Gouchnour, Gertrude Griffith, Mary Kent, Margaret Machtley, [132] Alice Makin, Margaret Mayer, Ruth Powelson, Gwen Roberts, Georgetta Sigg, Dorothy Small, Hazel Smith, Dorothy Staehr, Emma Tredennick, Vivian Van Horn, Mary Wiegand, Mae Wilkinson. They tell us that Louis Opperman is Chief Osteo- path and Robert Beam is Chief Chemist. The hospital itself was designed by Willard Jones and Roth Ripple, and all the wiring and lighting was done by Edwin Wilson and Louis Rohde. The paintings in the lobby are by Emma Jane Williams; on the office staff are Mildred Alwine, John Amick, Gertrude Baltzer, Sara Baserman, Mary Jane Berkey, Olive Jane Black, Katherine Blackburn, Kathryn Blough. After admiring the hospital, we again start for our hotel. On the way, we pass many people, all unfamiliar, until we meet three young men in uniform. They are George Christie of the United States Navy, and Carl Gillespie and Don Baumann, cadets at West Point. We ask them for news, and George tells us that Clarence Cummings has become one of the best wireless operators in the Navy, and that William Blair, Daniel Davis, Kurtz Finnell, Kermit Mangus, and Richard Spangler are valued members of the Aviation Corps. When we reach the hotel, we are much surprised to see John Lubken wel- coming the guests. He tells us that he is manager of the hotel. He explains that the furniture was the work of William Paessler, Clarence Lewis, Louis McGrath, Walter Brasick, and Glenn Rhoades, all famous cabinet makers. The hotel has its own beauty shop with Dorothy Kessler, Dorothy Kyle, Ruth Lambert, Bertha Mangus, Theda Mangus, and Irene O’Palka as operators; the garage is managed by Joseph Cover and Michael Payerchin. Returning to the lobby, we buy a paper and go to our room to rest. Upon opening the paper, we find more surprises. William Boyd, Charles Walter, and Mary Glumicich are co-editors and their staff are Helen Jones, Homer Jones, Marion Kistler, Kenneth Jones, William Krone, Gerald Kurtz, Ruth Emily Long, Charles Lotz, Charles Mamula, Charles Marks, Jane McDermott, Steve Mihalik, Dorothy Milazzo, Louis Millivouch, William Muransky, Alvay Murray, Francis Pokrzywa, Arthur Ream, Ray Rhine, Madeline Sakmar, Esther Shaffer, Taylor Shaffer, Samuel Shambers, Helen Sievers, Josephine Sipe, Audrey Smith, Gerard Smith, George Stockberger, Melvin Strong, Angeline Walling, Katherine Weaverling, and George Zeunges. The printers are directed by George Hildebrand, Alvin Schrott, and Charles Wilson. Glancing through the paper, we see that Joseph Schultz has left for another extended trip through the Orient,—his third since graduation—and that Cora Hirst and Mildred Fisher are opening a new kindergarten. After a good night’s rest, we resume our sightseeing, and this time we try the shops. We first see a plumbing shop managed by Thomas Evanisko and Aldridge Tilley with Mary Boring and Mary Elizabeth Boyd as stenographers. Next, an exclusive dress shop interests us, and we discover the owner to be Neva Fleegle. Neva designs the costumes and Sara Coco makes them—for a price! Neva tells us that she is the creator of the stunning gowns and costumes used by Jane Study, the famous dancer. As we go out, we meet Edward Mangus, who has become rich from the proceeds of his poultry farm. [133] The bank on the next corner has Harold Miller for its president, who tells us that on his staff are Richard Broughlor, Anna Brencic, Carl Brown, Edna May Caldwell, Monica Callahan, Helen Clark, Lois Clawson, Denzel Dealer, William Everhart, Margaret Fleming, Martha Francis, Edgar Furst, Robert Goebert, William Goetz, Luther Grening, Ruth Griffith, Beryl Hershberger, Bruce Haslett, Russell Hileman, Donald Hipp, Nicholas Hobar, Margaret Jakab, and Alexander Johnston. And now, let us leave the City of Dreams-Come-True, for we do not have to depend on trains and airplanes to carry us away. We merely turn our minds to something else, and we are thousands of miles away in the dreary World of Every- Day. Yet, let us not lose the Land of Heart’s-Desire, for some day, our own hard work may succeed in transporting us there to live happily. JOHNSTOWN VS. ALTOONA IN 1960 (As seen by William Bungard) 17ROM a comfortable seat in the bleachers, I got my first series of surprises as the Johnstown team trotted on the field. Every man wore a full dress suit and a derby hat. I asked “Doc” Womer for the line-up. Here it is as he gave it: Arm- strong, Jr.; Geha, Jr.; Audi, Jr.; Wissinger, Jr.; McGraw, Jr.; Gillette, Jr.; Shan- non, Jr.; Hlivko, Jr.; Brinskole, Jr.; George, Jr.; Pejack, Jr.; with Lewis, Jr., and Keller, Jr., in reserve. I had scarcely finished jotting down this line-up, when Altoona came on the field. They, too, were in full dress suits. Each fellow wore a plug hat, white pumps with maroon buckles and carried a cane. The field, by the way, wras covered with soft carpet. Next came a man in ministerial garb, and carrying under his arm a book the size of Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary, w'hich he placed on a table in the center of the field while he reclined in an easy chair. He was followed by another gen- tleman similarly dressed. “Doc” Womer informed me that these men were Jack Woodward and Sam Shambers; and that they had been referees for the football games for the last ten years. In curiosity I asked “Doc,” “Is this to be a football game or a tea party?” He retorted by asking which backwoods I had come from; and told me that this was the championship game according to the revised football rules. He also in- formed me that, Tom Heffley, Warren Phenicie, Jack Penrod, Henry Varner and Jack Grantham had as much as $500 on this game. As the players lined up, the referees signaled to start. George, Jr., carefully adjusted the ball, tiptoed up, and kicked it as though it were an egg. [134] The Altoona halfback caught it and started up the field. At him came Shan- non, hat in hand. When the Altoona player reached him, “Rats,” Jr., made a courte- ous bow, asked him to stop, and hand the ball over. He did this amid cheers from the bleachers. On the next play, Hlivko passed to Armstrong. One of Altoona’s linemen made a misstep and upset Wissinger. The whole team held up their hands in horror. Woodward took time to look up a rule regarding this. In the meantime Coach Gillespie picked Wissinger up, washed his face, rearranged his clothes, and powdered his nose. Wissinger protested a litttle and wanted them to call for his mother, but Neva Fleegle, the school nurse came out, and comforted him. By this time Wood- ward found the rule and read a chapter on rudeness. For his conduct he barred the Altoona man from the game and penalized the team 25 yards. Just then Audi spit tobacco juice on the white pumps of one of Altoona’s men. Shambers ruled him from the game. Lewis replaced him and Altoona was given the ball as the half ended. The players retired to the B-Y shop where they were served w ith pink lemon- ade. After much hand shaking and apologies for rudeness they slowly strolled back to the field. Play was resumed with Pejack receiving the ball. He skipped up the field until he reached one of Altoona’s men to whom he bowed and presented the ball. Altoona refused and Shambers justified their refusal. Pejack had not used the proper method, he had not removed his hat! As a result Johnstown was penalized 30 yards. At this point Keller substituted for Hlivko and announced signals, two verses and a chorus of Harvest Moon. As a result Brinskole waltzed down the field unmolested for a touchdown. The teams began arguing as to which team should carry the ball and while they were arguing, George made the sensational play of the season when he picked up the ball and tripped over the line for a touchdown. This ended the game. Altoona’s captain, who was a good sport, treated our men to Spearmint Bubble gum, amidst thunderous applause and cheering from the bleachers. Final Score—J. H. S.—12 A. H. S.—0. [135] THE TOWN CRIER Again, as in the time of Washington, the Town Crier, appears. For us he announces the news of our friends, the advertisers. W e, the members of the graduating class V of 1932, wish to express our appre- ciation to those firms and persons who, through their advertising, have helped to make possible the publication of this book. We also thank those advertisers who have helped make possible previous issues of “The Spectator but for various reasons were unable to do so in this number.

Boats came from Pittsburgh to Johnstown by the canal. In that part of the city where the Baltimore and Ohio station and the Gautier Works now stand, the canal terminated in an extensive basin. From the upper end of this basin the boats were transferred to the cars of the portage railroad. This railroad connected Johns- town and Hollidaysburg by a series of five levels and five inclined planes on each side of the mountain, with an additional level on top of the mountain. The cars were drawn by horses or by locomotive to the foot of the first plane, where they were raised by a stationary engine to the next higher point. The same procedure was followed from plane to plane till the cars reached the highest point. From here, by reversing the procedure, the cars were lowered to the canal terminal at Hollidaysburg, where the boats were placed on the canal connecting that point with Columbia. From Columbia, passengers and freight were carried by railroad to Philadelphia. A trip by this system was a delightful adventure in the late l840's, and the lower rates and more rapid transportation of freight than was formerly possible made towns along the route centers of trade. Johnstown was one of these places. Prior to this time, it had had few interests except farming. With the coming of the canal, there was rapid growth, and finally in the 1850's the Cambria Iron Works were built, and Johnstown gained leadership in the growing iron and steel industry. But horse drawn canal boats were slow means of transportation, and the dc- velopment of the steam railroad eventually crowded out the entire Main Line of Public Works. This might not have occurred so soon if this system had been en- tirely a waterway. The necessity of transferring loads from water to rail and back again was too great a handicap, and was too expensive to compete with the faster steam railroad which carried passengers and freight from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh without change. The Pennsylvania Railroad, which was completed to Pittsburgh about 1853, bought the Main Line of Public Works, and in 1857, when business by the Line was no longer profitable, discontinued its operation. In the years since the canal and the portage railroad were abandoned, many changes have taken place. The railroads have grown in power, and the cost of railroad operation has increased greatly because of the strong organizations of rail- road employees, and the high wages which they command. This in turn, has caused very high freight rates, especially for bulk material, such as coal, brick, radiators, slag, and iron and steel products. ln Johnstown, the industries have to l9l v . xx! asus uttira lldlblll? I depend entirely upon the railroads for getting their raw materials shipped in and the finished products shipped out, while cities competing with Johnstown have the advantage of either shorter rail hauls or water transportation. An example of the advantages of water transportation is that of the Pittsburgh district. Until 1921, Johnstown's industrial plants had an even chance with those of Pittsburgh. In that year, some of the big steel companies began to ship steel by barge to points all along the Mississippi River system to New Orleans. The venture proved successful. Pittsburgh steel mills continue to manufacture all kinds of steel products because wa-ter transportation enables them to compete to advantage in all markets. Johnstown, however, cannot meet this competition, and as a con- sequence, has to make changes in her manufactured products to keep in the market at the present freight rates. In a recent address, Mr. O. P. Thomas, Civil and Mining Engineer of Johnstown, and a member of the Conemaugh-Kiskiminitas Valley Improvement Association, stated the situation clearly. He said, The freight rates in and out of Johnstown increased, and the water transpor- tation facilities afforded the Pittsburgh district not only lower freight rates by water, but also lower freight rates by rail, known as competitive rate. The time had arrived when the Johnstown plant could not manufacture and sell at a profit its excess pig iron, its steel rails, and its structural products. The management of this company had seen this condition approaching and had started to install new mills to manufacture certain products with which they could compete in these markets. These new mills are those for the manufacture of car wheels, nails, wire, and special automobile steel. This change in the type of products manufactured is probably the outstanding reason why the major industry of Johnstown has survived. But not only major industries have suffered by the non-competitive railroad rates. The smaller industries in Johnstown compete with plants in places where water transportation gives advantage of lower freight to great markets. The coal producing industry, second only to steel in importance, is equally affected. Coal must sell with profit to the producer, yet, to quote Mr. Thomas again, This district is subject to a non-competitive freight rate and a differential granted by the Interstate Commerce Commission to the coal fields in West Virginia and Kentucky whereby they enjoy a rate only a few cents per ton higher between their locations and the Northern and Eastern markets, although their coal is trans- porued several hundred miles farther to these markets than is the coal from the Johnstown district. Part of the advantages, especially in the West Virginia and Pittsburgh districts, lies in the barge transportation made possible through improve- ment of rivers. - What, then, is the hope of lower fair competition for Johnstown, both in trans- porting raw materials and manufactured products, and in transporting coal? The l10l QjlggllPIlE timrtiunl answer lies in concerted action for the improvement of the Coneniaugh-Kiskimirv itas River for barge navigation from Johnstown to the junction of the river with the Allegheny. The growing public demand for improvement of the Mississippi system to per- mit barge transportation has been urged throughout the entire territory drained by that system. All such improvement must be made by the Federal government. So far, 9000 miles of the Mississippi Valley System have been improved. Of the 6000 remaining miles of the system, only 3000 have natural resources which warrant im- provement. ln these 3000 miles, Johnstown and the whole Conemaugh-Kiskimim itas Valley has direct interest in three proposed projects: first--the improvement of the Conemaugh River from the Allegheny River, a distance of 76 miles, to Johns- towng second-the improvement of the Allegheny River from Kittanning to Lake Erie a distance of 110 miles, third-the improvement of the Beaver, Sheriango, and Mahoning Rivers from Beaver, on the Ohio River, to Ashtabula on Lake Erie by way of New Castle and Youngstown, a distance of 100 miles. To further the interests of the first of these projects, the Kiskiminitas and Con- emaugh Rivers Improvement Association has been formed with a membership from every town touched by these rivers. The association has used every means to place and keep the project before the United States Army Engineers and the Rivers and Harbors Committee of Congress. In 1930, Army Engineers made a preliminary survey, and reported favorably for canalization of the Conemaugh-Kiskiminitas River. The construction of this canal will be a Government project and must be de- cided by Congress. After Congress authorizes such work to be done, the United States Army Engineers will supervise the entire program of construction. It has already been determined that the territory to be included in this project would be divided into three sectionsg the first section extending from the Allegheny River to Apollo, a distance of about thirteen miles, the second district extending up the river to Blairsville, a distance of about thirty-two miles further, and the third district ending at Johnstown, which is about seventy-six miles from the Allegheny. To maintain a navigable depth of water throughout the system, locks for raising or lowering the barges to the next higher or lower level would be built at various points along the river. For storage of water about eight dams would be built. As stated before, the boats that would travel through this canal would be barges, not steam- ships as some people might imagine. The far reaching benefits of the canal to Johnstown and other points in the Kiskiminitas Valley can be understood best in relation to the other projects pro- posed: the improvement of the Allegheny River from Kittanning to Lake Erie, and that of the Beaver, Shenango, and Mahoning Rivers from Beaver to Lake Erie by way of New Castle and Youngstown, Either of these projects will establish a waterway from the Mississippi system to the Great Lakes, thus giving advantage l11l sue ii IUIIAJFCNDIIR I of barge transportation for raw and manufactured materials to and from the Great Lakes to the Ohio Valley with Pittsburgh as its cen-ter. When either of these routes is completed, it will be imperative that Johnstown should be in position to take ad- vantage of them. This can be done only by the improvement of the Conemaugh- Kiskiminitas to the Allegheny. The people of the districts desiring these improvements are working for them. If the people of Johnstown and the rest of the Conemaugh-Kiskiminitas Valley push their claims for improvement of the Kiskiminitas, the future success of existing indust- ries and the hope of new industries should be assured. In the past Johnstown has been an important center. Her history has been enviable. When the great flood swept away life and property, bringing distress and financial ruin, the people bravely turned to the task of rebuilding their city and of reorganizing their business and in- dustry. Now, when a crisis in solving the problem of cheaper means of freight transportation presents itself, the same courageous spirit should arouse interest and action on the part of the people to bring about improvement of the river for barge transportation. Arguments in favor of such improvements are strong. In a pre- liminary investigation, the United States Army Engineers reported: The river can be improved for such a purposef' and There is tonnage to justify the improvement. This is encouraging. Getting the canal will be a long, hard fight, requiring the same co-operation on part of the people that has brought our city success and pros- perity in the past-a co-operation that will give Johnstown water transportation that in turn will mean opportunities equal to those of other great industrial cen- ters. Speaking of the time required for the completion of the work, Mr. Thomas predicts, If we get busy now, we should be well along towards completion by the end of ten years which I have estimated as the time required for the completion of the link between the Mississippi River and the Great Lakes. The project cannot be carried through hurriedly. It will require repeated efforts to keep the matter before the Rivers and Harbors Committee, and to put through Congress the legislation necessary for the construction of the canal. How- ever, when it is completed, it will give Johnstown and other cities in the Conemaugh- Kiskiminitas Valley the advantage of barge transportation to any part of the Miss- issippi System and the Great Lakes. l13l , , , e My ' i . serene itimurdsle l THE NEW CANAL BLAIR BURKHART A group of early pioneers, Their fortune came to seekg They drove the Indian from this land, From valley, mount, and creek.

How much longer will it take, Bob T, asked Bud, a member of an inseparable quartet of boys who were on a hike. Oh, about ten minutes, Bob answered, glancing at his watch. Only this valley to cross, turn along the State Game Refuge, and we'll be there. The Wine- brenner place has a history, too, which I will tell you laterf' The boys tramped in silence until they turned out the trail along the Game Refuge and reached a level spot, snuggled against the side of the hill. The remains of a spring and a spring house stood in desolation, but of the cabin not a trace remained. What is the history of this place, Bob ? queried jimmy, the third member of the quartet. 'lWell, replied Bob, the story goes to the effect that one evening during the early autumn of l78..., old john Winebrenner sat alone in front of his cabin in this clearing waiting for his two sons who had gone over the mountain to the New Florence settlement. 'Wonder Fwhat's keeping the boys,' he mused. as he drew slowly on his pipe. 'They never stayed this late before. Maybe-.' . He did not finish his grim sentence, but arose and entered the cabin, from which he emerged presently, carrying his long rifle, pouch of balls, and powder horn. He carefully shut and latched the door, then turned and crossed the clearing. As he neared the edge of the forest, an arrow whizzed from its gloomy depths and pene- trated his shoulder. In surprise and anger, John snarled-for he was unable to lift his rifle. Realizing discretion to be the better part of valor, he turned and ran back to the cabin. He fumbled at the latch string, pushed open the door, and stepped over the threshold. But he was a moment too late. Another arrow found its mark in his broad back, and he crashed, inert, to the floor. With a wild yell, an Indian dashed across the clearing. A few moments later-his ghastly work done -he melted silently into the forest, with a fresh scalp at his belt. At noon the next day, two young men came through the woods. As they neared the cabin, they felt that something was wrong. No smoke came from the chimney, and the cabin door was closed. Cautiously creeping up to the cabin, they pulled the latch string, pushed the door open, and on the Hoor, saw the body of their father. That was a tough break for the boys, wasnlt it ? said Ned. sympathetically. Yes, replied Bob, this is only one of the many stories of Indian attack, and we are always more interested in the ones about families we know. But we have stayed longer than we should if we want to get around the hike we planned. Let's go out by the Haycock place. What is the Haycock place ? asked Bud. l49l I1 silent rcrarairnra H It is just an old farm where we can get some good apples. Then there is a path that leads to the New Florence-Johnstown stage coach road,'y answered Bob. After a hard climb and a long descent, the boys came to an old clearing with gnarled apple trees standing in short rows. Passing through this to a second or- chard, they found apples in abundance. After they had satisfied their hunger and stuffed their pockets, they proceeded down the path to an unused trail. With Bob in the lead, they struck over the hill to reach the Public Hunting Ground Boundary Line. From here the walking was comparatively easy, and they soon emerged on the New Florence stage road. As they walked along, they tried to imagine how the old stage coach had looked as it came rocking down the hill, and how the wood- ed hills and valleys had made excellent hiding places for stage robbers. All of which reminds me of a story about this road, remarked Bud, as they stopped at lVIcGuff's Spring for a rest and a drink of cold water. Listen, and Illl tell you. Late one afternoon, a team of panting horses pulled the old stage coach slowly up the hill and bumped to a stop at this very spring. The guard swung down from his seat beside the driver and assisted two women and a man from the coach. After a drink of water, they climbed wearily inside the coach again to resume their tedious journey to Johnstown. The man inside nervously fingered a small pistol which he had half hidden in an armpit holster. He was carrying the weekly gains from the Green Dragon Inn in New Florence to the bank in Johnstown. The dri- ver and the guard, who sat with his long rifle across his knees, were on the alert for robbers. The coach had almost reached the brow of the hill when a masked man stepped into the middle of the road and leveled a brace of pistols at the men on the seat. The driver pulled up his horses and raised his hands, the guard snatched his rifle in an attempt to shoot the bandit, but received a ball in his shoulder, which made his shot Hy wild. He dropped his rifle and raised his hands as the robber, snarling, Reach for the sky,' came closer to the stage coach and jerked the door open. As he did so, a gun roared, and he staggered back and fell. In falling, he dropped both his guns. Immediately the guard sprang to the ground and possessed himself of the pistols, while the passenger, stepping coolly from the coach, proceeded to reload the gun which he had just fired. With the help of the driver, they bound the bandit securely and threw him roughly to the floor of the coach, much to the consternation of the women. The men mounted guard over him, and the coach jolted to the top of the hill and down the other side to Johnstown, where the ban- dit was speedily consigned to a cell in the town jail. There was a moment of breathless silence when Bud finished. Then one of the boys laughed uneasily, and observed dryly, Your imagination is certainly good. Well, you will have to admit that it was true to the time, even it it didn't actually happen, rejoined Bud, rising briskly and adding, We may as well be on our way. l50l V WX- QSIPIIE iiimirdiia I Ned proposed taking them over the hill to Powdermill Run, a creek that he said had as interesting history as either of the two places they had already visited. They struck a course, almost due south, stopping occasionally to consult Ned's compass. Suddenly Bob called out that he heard the sound of rushing water. That's Powdermillf' said Ned. The boys started a mad rush, vying for the honor of being first to reach the stream. As they came to it, they exclaimed in delight at its beauty. Ned took them down the run, by miniature waterfalls and little rapids, which churned the water into white foam. Below the rapids, the stream ran smoothly, then made an abrupt descent in a series of falls, and finally forced its way between two stone walls, spaced about three feet apart. Below this point, the water smoothed out for a short distance, then rushed on, to the bottom of the hill where it flowed slowly into a forest of hemlock and pine trees. After the boys had enjoyed the rare beauty of the spot, Ned suggested going back up the stream to a large rock, just below the walls, to cook supper. Again they exclaimed with delight for the rock was a wonderful place not only for supper but for an overnight camp. Its sloping ceiling, varying from five to seven feet in height, overhung a space of about two hundred square feet. A fire- place had been built facing the rock, and there was a table with seats. Bob, the recognized cook, prepared the food, while the others gathered wood to keep the fire going. As the result of this co-operation, the boys were soon partaking of a com- fortable meal. As they ate, Jimmy begged Ned for the story of Powdermill. Ned responded cheerfully. Now, I'd have you know, he began, that all the parts of this story are not facts. However, about the latter part of the eighteenth century, there was a small powder mill, located at this point of the creek, which derived its name from the mill. The first owner of the mill, john Killen, had received the land as a grant from the King of England, and had built the mill. His direct descendant, John Killen, owned and operated the mill at the time of the story. The water wheel was so arranged that he could haul it up from the water and fasten it so it wouldn't turn during the night, and in the morning, he could lower it for work. Killen had few visitors, and he rarely left the mill except to carry powder to customers. One night while he was away from the mill, a band of Indians crept up. When they found the mill dark, they leaped to their feet with loud whoops and shot blazing arrows into the wooden structure. Almost immediately the mill burst into flames, as the loose powder on the floor took fire. In glee, the redskins danced about the burning mill until the flames reached some kegs of powder which were stored in one Corner. Explosions followed, and several Indians who had ventured too near, were transported quickly to their Happy Hunting Ground. The fire finally died and was extinguished, but the damage to the old mill was irreparable. Later, a descendant of the second John Killen built a grist mill on the same site as the powder mill, but it was too far from his neighbors to be a success and it rotted l51l X rx- M tsllb HE itlrauroiwala I aw-ay. All you can see now are these two stone walls which once constituted the sluicef' The boys Walked up stream to the old sluice and admired its solidity, for though more than a century had passed, it had resisted the ravages of nature. After the boys had carefully extinguished their fire, and were Well on their way home, Jimmy asked, Were any of the stories true ? Mine Wasn't entirely true,'i admitted Bob, although Mr. Winebrenner was actually killed at his cabin by an Indian. Nor Was mine exact, added Ned. The mills were here at the time, but I do 'not know what destroyed either of them. As they proceeded homeward, with the gloom of coming night encircling them, Jimmy said, Boys, I think We should start a Tall Story Clubg for the way you fel'- lows add to the truth to help it along deserves something like that. ' ' THE RABBI MARY PENROD Slowly and with care Rabbi Martin picked his way over cobblestones of back streets until he reached the door of his humble synagogue. His head was bent in deep thought, and he walked with his hands clasped tightly behind him. His face, deep-lined with cares-cares of his people, showed the sufferings, the everlasting hopes, and the never failing faith of the Jewish people. Then, too, the rabbi was thinking of his beloved wife, Sarah. Sarah, who had gone to her ancestors over twenty years ago. He looked across the years and fan- cied her watching for him at the window, waiting for him to come from the syna- gogue. How small she had been, how beautiful with her dark hair and black eyes. Sarah had left him with a small son. The small son, however, had not proved a comfort to Rabbi Ma1'tin. He did not understand his father, and he resented pa- rental authority. The very sight of him served to deepen the rabbi's troubles. Per- haps the son sensed his father's' attitude. Even as a child, he went from bad to Worse, and finally he ran away from home. It was over fifteen years since the rabbi had seen him. Rabbi Martin wondered how Sarah felt about joseph, their son. He seemed to see her condemning him with dark, reproachful eyes, for not better caring for the Wayward boy. And so it was that Rabbi Martin went to his synagogue with a heavy heart. c . His place of worship was small and unpretentious. As he slowly made his way into the room, he was greeted by Herman, the fruit vendor. Herman had taken care of the room for fourteen years, and he was now getting it in readiness for the long service of the day-the Day of Atonement. A l52l v ,SIP it tirairom One by one the worshippers came. They were all old men like Rabbi Martin. The younger generation, had built a great, new edifice, but the old men preferred the old synagogue. As the morning wore on, the prayers became a lamentation. Then by turns their voices revealed despair or exaltation. The sounds caught at the hearts of passersby, making them feel empty and depressed. All day Rabbi Martin prayed for his people and for his wayward son. There was pathetic appeal in his voice, for he felt this would be his last day of atonement, next year he would be with his fathers. The service attracted strangers who came and stood in the back room. Most of them, however, slipped quietly away, but a man, apparently about thirty years of age, remained the entire morning. He was smartly dressed, and he had the air of a successful business man, yet in spite of this, he appeared to be ill at ease. Finally, he moved forward and took a vacant seat. At first no one appeared to notice him as he prayed fervently, and his was the prayer of a son returned to his father's house. When the rabbi beacme aware of the presence of the stranger, with new light in his eyes, he thanked God for his goodness. At evening as the ,shadows crept through the windows, Rabbi Martin and the young stranger left the synagogue in silence. They walked side by side down the street, the father and his long-lost son ,while with them, Rabbi Martin felt, walked the invisible form of Sarah.

Whexi the war broke out I was just eighteen, and I was burning to enlist. My parents objected strongly but in the end they consented. Nothing eventful hap- pened while I trained in the States, and in time, I was sent across with other re- cruits. Here we were sent to different concentration camps where the instructors proceeded to discard all of our previous training and drill us intensely in new tactics. Finally the day came when we were mustered, given our orders, and entrained for the front. About three o'clock in the morning we were ordered to detrain and begin the final march to the front. Rain was falling in torrents and the roads were almost impassable. The sound of the guns became louder, and the horizon grew more lurid as we advanced. Ambulance lorries passed with their loads of tortured human wrecks, moaning in agony for aid that would not come. A company of Poilus tramped by in silence, a long line of exhausted men shuffling in ankle-deep mire. Their drooping heads, bleary eyes, unshaven faces were emphasized by the rain pouring from their helmets. After hours of weary marching, we came to trenches that we were to take over-ditches half-filled with stinking water and rubbish. The parapets were old cement bags with slime oozing through them. We were assigned positions, and I found myself taking the place of a young fellow who was wearily stepping down from the firing-step after doing guard duty until he was ready to drop from fatigue. He was a fellow with a face prematurely old-a sure sign of a veteran. He looked at me with haggard eyes and said, Call .me Lefty. WhatlsfyoL1rs? I continued to stare at him: at his sunken eyes, his pallid face, and his hair streaked with grey. He smiled crookedly. HSome mess, ainlt I? I'm the only fellow alive from my bombing squad that went on a raid last night. lt's plenty tough. His hands shook and spilled the cigarette which he was making. Between the two opposing trenches was no-man's land. It was cluttered with rubbish, rusty wire, rotting bodies, deep stagnant shell holes, and overrun with huge rats which gorged themselves on the dead-a repulsive sight which sickened me. Suddenly, before the out-going soldiers could leave the trenches, a red rocket shot into the air from the enemy side, and in a momentls time we were deluged with all sorts of high explosives. Trench after trench was battered in. We were short of ammunition, and withheld our fire until the enemy charged us. We did not have long to wait. The machine guns opened with a jittering laugh to the accom- paniment of clacking rifles and crunipling of hand grenades. Then came the cold steel at close quarters! Before I knew what had happened a giant Teuton launched l55l SHPHE tmidiln himself at nie, parried my thrust, and lunged in to finish me. At that same instant a rifle butt, swung by a mighty arm, descended with bone-crushing force upon my antagonist's skull and brained him. As I scrambled to my feet Lefty stopped, regarded me with a crooked smile, and went on. That was the last time I saw him alive. When I again saw him he was lying in a bloody heap over the Maxirn machine gun which he had successfully chargedg and strangely, too, he was smiling. All that I could do was to kneel be- side him with tears streaming down my face and huge sobs strangling my throat. He was buried there in a soldier's grave. Posthumously he was awarded the Congressional Medal which was sent to his mother. This is only one example of the thousands of boys who gave their lives for their comrades and their country, some without even a soldier's grave, and none cited for conspicuous gallantry. PLAYING THE GAME LABEEB GEORGE Bim Duncan's last year in the Rockdale High School was also his last chance to make the varsity football team. He played the position of tackle and would have been a varsity man in his junior year had he not broken his leg. There was one thing which Bim could do outstandingly well, and that was place kick. He could place the ball between the bars with almost perfect accuracy. The captain of the team, Speed lWacDonald, played quarter back. Speed was a fine fellow except that he hated to see anyone get ahead of him. He felt that Bim undoubtedly would be, a star, should he get a chance to play in the games of this last season. Speed had been the star in his junior year and he was jealous lest some one should establish a reputation equal to his. The night before the first game of the season Coach Martin called MacDonald to his room and gave him to understand that the Huston team was a formidable rival. In 'the first place, he said, they have a strong defense which leads me to be- lieve that it will be a hard task for us. to score. But we are at an advantage because of their weak offense. Their line outweighs ours five pounds to the man, but I think we can hold them. We may not be able to score a touchdown, but we have Dun- can's place kicking to rely upon. If it so happens that we advance within the thirty yard line, have Bim try a kick. Speed listened attentively to the coach's instructions, but made no comment. When he left the office he walked slowly home, turning over in his mind what the coach had said and what Bim's getting into the game meant to him. All through the practice, Bim had never missed making the kick, and in this coming game, ac- cording to the coach's analysis of plays, Bim would probably be the star. As cap- , I561 - 1 nv 1 gsie it itiitiroiiiis tain of the team, it was Speed's business to see that the players did perfect teamwork, but-an ugly thought crossed his mind-Why not? His expression hardened and he quickened his pace as though he feared detection of his very thoughts. The day of the game came. At the end of the first quarter neither side had scored. The half ended without score. At the end of the third quarter neither team had advanced within its opponentls thirty-five yard line. But about the middle of the fourth quarter, Rockdale blocked a punt and recovered the ball on Huston's twenty-five yard line. Speed called for a place kick. As Bim dropped into position, the crowd went wild with excitement. The ball was passed back. Bim kicked, but the ball missed by about five yards. The Rockdale 'cheering section showed its dis- appointment, and the coach and the team were much surprised for they had never seen any of Bim's kicks miss, in practice, by so much. The game ended a scoreless tie. The Rockdale team won the next game easily, but in the third game the play- ers were forced to resort to Bim's kicking. Again he missed. This time, however, he made a startling discovery. Just as he was ready to kick, he noticed that Speed, who was holding the ball, had tilted it to one side. So this was the reason he had missed the other kick. But he said nothing. The next game was to be with an old rival, the Thomson High School. This game also would decide whether Rockdale would be in the running for the tri- coun- ty championship. Thomson High had a strong team, and their chances of defeat- ing Rockdale were good. Two days before the game Bim met Speed near the school. He stopped him and said significantly, If you are going to try any more tricks like that, save them until after this game. Speed said nothing but grinned. This angered Bim further and he warned sharply, Think that over and decide for yourself whether it is not best to win this game. Speed tried to forget Bim's warning, but found that it was impossible. What good would this trick do him if Bim told anyone of it? After all, he was cheating the school, and under present conditions he could win nothing. The big game started. On the opening kick-off the Thomson quarter-back ran eighty-five yards for a touchdown, an unusual feat. At the end of the third quar- ter the score stood: Thomson, 145 Rockdale 13. Two minutes before the end of the game, with the score standing the same, Speed called for a place kick. As Bim went into position he said to Speed, Remember, your reputation as well as that of the team is at stake . Speed understood. The ball came back. Speed placed it perfectly. There was a moment of intense excitement. Bim kicked and the ball soared between the bars. The crowd roared its approval, just as the whistle sounded. The game was over, the score being Rockdale, 163 Thomson, 14. Bim was the hero of the hour, but the first thing he did was to shake hands with Speed. l57l issue it iiiimirdimiel You did it like the sport l used to think you were-and which I know you are nowf' he said heartily. And for the first time during the season Speed experienced a feeling that he had helped to win a victory. REVENGE JOHN SKURNER ln a remote part of California, John Cummins, an old man from Pennsylvania, went to an abandoned gold prospect which his uncle had willed to him. There, in the far off hills, he lived a quiet life. Every day he worked the old claim. The results were poor, but enough to support him. He was glad that he was far from the noise of cities. Although he was separated from civilization, he loved the life he led. lt is true that he had only two huge dogs as companions, but he found them devoted and faithful friends, who guarded his scant treasure and his shack in his absence and welcomed his return with expressions of joy. The dogs were so attached to him that no one could enter the cabin unless accompanied by him. One hot summer evening in August two men, with guns in hand, approached old Johnls weather-worn shack. lt was just getting dark and the old hermit cu- riously watched the two men come into the dooryard. i'Hi there, fellerslu he cried.

'fWe want to shoot them quail o' yourn, referring to a flock of quail which were pets of old John. l'You'll do nothing of the kind, broke in the old hermit. Them quail's minef' All right, we'll see you again. Revenge is sweet, you know, the one yelled as they started down the dusty road. That night old John carefully analyzed the conversation. He wondered how these men knew him. About midnight, a thought struck him. f'Can they be the men l testified against in court? he asked himself. Then as he recalled them more distinctly, he felt that they were two thieves against whom he had testified many years before. After serving their sentence in prison, the men had followed him across the country in order to get revenge. He had done justice. Why should they harm him? The following day he prepared his old shotgun for immediate use. He also laid off work that day. To his surprise, the men did not visit him, nor did they l5Sl 'lv asiapuwt itimtioiiaa come the next day. Two days later he went to work, and when he returned home the sun was setting. On entering the dooryard, he found his pet quail dead on the ground. Those beasts! he muttered angrily. Cautiously he approached his humble shack. The door was half-opened, and the dogs sprang joyfully to greet him, and then whined as though to explain the situation Land ask his approval. On the Hoof lay the body of one of the men, his still form badly mangled by the strong jaws of the dogs. ln a farther corner was the other thief, face downward, dead. Ah ha! cried old John, overcome with emotion. Revenge is sweet, he whispered as he caressed his dogs, but the revenge is mine.

It had always been a habit of mine to lie there staring at the mirror until sleep overcame me. On this particular night, Ivlother and Dad had gone out. My grandmother and younger sister had long since been asleep, and I was the only vigilant member of the household. Somehow I sensed the presence of another person. Did my eyes see rightly or was it an hallucination! A sneaking, stealthy creature opened the third floor door and stood looking furtively up the stairs. If Dad had only been there! My heart skipped a beat and I-'held my breath. Then, fool that I was-incited by stark fear and desperate foolhardiness-I grabbed the covers, like an ostrich which thinks that if its head is covered all is well, I ducked beneath them, thinking, It's intolerably hot, but, by golly, I'll stay that wayf! Then- Heavens! He might stab your little sister or, worse still, make a dash at Grandma. I abruptly uncovered my head to find my surmise correct. He was making for Grandmals room. I knew that a scare to a person of her age would be fatal, so I grabbed my 32 caliber Colt and sprang noiselessly into the hall. Aloud I Warned, I have you covered, you insufferable wretchf, CIt was my best version of a low voiced, manly tone.D Is that you, daughter? My grandmother's anxious voice gave me determi- nation. No, it's I, Grandma. I got up for a drink of ice water. Oh, very well. Now for some action or all is lost, I thought to myself. HGet down those steps! My unearthly whisper cut through the stillness of the night. Stand here, I ordered, but thought immediately, No, idiot, not in front of the china closet, if you should shoot, you'd break all of lNIother's good dishes. HStand here, facing me, or I'll bore you full of ragged holes! I dared not raise my voice because Grandma might hear. Being careful not to fall over a chair, I backed up to the telephone, thinking, What'll you ask for? Police headquarters. That's it. No. l. What a relief! Keep your eyes on him. Thank goodness for monophones! A screaming siren sounded. It was the police. Don't tremble now, I told myself. You did all the work, now finish it. They're at the door. No, don't let them break down the door. March him out to them! Sure, you've got Scotch blood anyhow. The Chief's calling you a brick and slapping you on the back. I-Ie's praising you. Grin, fool, grin. You like it. The above adventure will never happen. I have planned it at least twenty- five different ways. But do you think I can get a break? For years I've carried that same egotistical and unspoken wish-to be a heroine in somebody's eyes, even if they were my own dull orbs. l60l 1 1-X li SWF uni lElIAlIGlbllR 4 X H 1 Z X I , W. 1 :M-' 4 ,. 44 9 I WX J Qi-'-'A rif A NIGHT IN WINTER VERA COLENIAN The night is hushed.

SHP ut itrfuroinu i THE SEASON The Johnstown High football squad of 1932 completed a successful season when they won over Windber on Thanksgiving Day. At the beginning of the seas- on the outlook was not encouraging. Before the first game, the ability of the new players on the squad had not been tested, and the results of the game, which ended in a tie, indicated weakness. Although changes in the line were made, the next week Johnstowxi lost to the Peabody team. The third game was a happy contrast to the Kit. Union and Peabody games. The Lock Haven team lost to Johnstown, fourteen to seven. Johnstown completed the rest of the season without suffering a defeat, and tying but two games, the Schenley game and the Altoona game. To Coach Harrick and Coach Fisher should be extended congratulations for producing undoubtedly the best team in the conference. The particular manner in which the Western Conference totals its points enabled Altoona to beat out Johns- town by a small margin of points. Unfortunate losses on the part of Bedford and the tie with Mt. Union account- ed for the fact that Johnstown was runner up, in one of its most successful seasons. MT. UNION--JOH NSTOWN September 24 A plucky Mt. Union team held the Johnstown team to a tie. Johnstown ran through Mt. Union's line for long gains and worked trick plays successfully, but as soon as Johnstown brought the ball near the Mt. Union goal, the players were re- pulsed by the more experienced Mt. Union team. Late in the last quarter, Johns- town took the ball to the Mt. Union ten yard line, only to lose it on downs on the Mt. Union two yard line. In spite of the fact that Johnstown gained five times as much ground as Mt. Union and played much of the game in Mt. Union's ter- ritory, the score at the end of the game stood: Johnstown, Og Mt. Union, 0. PEABODY-JOH NSTOWN October 1 Even though outplayed by Johnstown during the first half, Peabody came back the second half and won the game. Near the end of the third quarter, Johns- town blocked a Peabody punt and gained possession of the ball on the Peabody one yard line. Brunskole went over for the touchdown. Napotnicys failure to convert was what later decided the game. Peabody took the ball and went forty yards to a touchdown. Coleman then converted the extra point for Peabody. With the mak- ing of their touchdown, Peabody's defense stiffened, and after that Johnstown failed to make any noticeable gain. When the final whistle blew the score stood: Peabody, 73 Johnstown, 6. l69l W YV . if ,H Y W Y. .i ,YY, .,,,,..-Y .W , Y 2 I ' ' HPHE riltftlforvllla f 'Li U AC ik v , A touchdown for Johnstown in the Portage game. LOCK HAVEN-JOHNSTOWN October 8 At the opening kickoff, Lock Haven took the ball fifty-eight yards for a touch- down and made the extra point. Johnstown then took the ball sixty-four yards for a touchdown, with Brunskole going over on the final play and Napotnic making the extra point. At the beginning of the second half, Johnstown took the ball eighty- three yards for their longest touchdown of the year which Brunskole made by going over from the five yard line. Napotnie then converted the extra point. The Hnal score stood: Johnstown, lllg Lock Haven, 7. , SCHENLEY-JOHNSTOWN October 15 Schenley was one of the heaviest and classiest teams ever seen in Johnstown. Even though they outplayed Johnstown all through the game, they were unable to score against the lighter Johnstown team. A number of times Schenley brought the ball up to the Johnstown goal only to lose it on downs. Johnstown had no chance to score. Once the players reached the Schenley twenty-Eve yard line, but were easily repulsed. They played their best game of the season against Schenley. The score at the end of the game was: Johnstown, Og Schenley, 0. l70l -- . I QWEEIP HE reiraurouilil -Ei- -ight? Brunskole of Johnstown, hits the li11e for a short gain 111 the Sehenley game. PORTAGE-JOHNSTOWN October 22 The first quarter of the game looked as if Portage would Win, for the heavier Portage team stopped Johnstown on every play. But when Portage took the ball eighty yards for a touchdown, Johnstown's fighting spirit rose. On the next play, Johnstown took the ball on her own forty yard line a11d went sixty yards for a touchdown. The rest of the game was played in Portage's territory. Keller of Johnstown intercepted two passes and Tflll for touchdowns both times. Brunskole and Pejack each scored a touchdown. Napotnic made three extra points while Brunskole made one. This was the first game in which the whole second team figured, and they played a fine game. The final score was Johnstown, 283 Por- tage, 7. BEDFORD--JOHNSTOWN October 29 The Bedford game was almost a repetition of the Portage game. Johnstown was outplayed by Bedford during the first quarter, but when Bedford threatened the Johnstown goal, Johnstown forced Bedford to play the rest of the game in her own territory. Soon after the beginning of the second half, Johnstown made a touchdown and kept making touchdowns until the end of the game. Brunskole made two, while Abdella made one. Pejack scored the extra point. The second team almost got a touchdown, but were prevented from doing so by the ending of the game. The Hnal score stood: Johnstown, 193 Bedford, 0. l711 it IUIFAJIFGJILR, as Brunskole of Johnstown, skirts Schenley's right end for a long gain. YOUNGWOOD-JOHNSTOWN November 5 The Youngwood game was one of the I110St spectacular that Johnstown played. Johnstown got the ball on the kickoff and went seventy-five yards for a touchdown. A moment later, Johnstown got the ball again and went forty yards for a second touchdown. Youngwood got its first touchdown in the third quarter when Tucci intercepted a Johnstown pass and ran seventy yards for a touchdown. Olmer then converted the extra point. Next, Johnstown went sixty-five yards to a touchdown. To this, Youngwood retaliated by going sixty-tive yards for a touchdown. Johns- town then got possession of the ball, made seventy yards and a touchdown. The game ended before either side could score again. Brunskole made all touchdowns for Johnstown. Napotnic made three extra points, while Pejack made one. The final score was: Johnstown, 285 Youngwood, 13. ALTOONA-JOHNSTOWN November 12 During the first half of the game, Johnstown outplayed Altoona, and late in the second quarter Brunskole returned a punt, through the entire Altoona team, fifty-six yards for a touchdown. Napotnick made the extra point by going through right tackle. But the second halt was entirely different. Right from the kickoff, Altoona went sixty-six yards for a touchdown, and Edgar converted the extra point for Altoona, to make the score 7-7. But Altoona was not satisfied with a tie. They started a drive toward the Johnstown goal only to lose the ball on downs on Johns- town's one yard line. Johnstown then punted out of danger. A moment later the whistle blew, ending the game, and leaving the score, 7-7. E H l72l l TH aagllv HE NUIFMFGMIR ' in lpt Johnstown hits the Portage line for a first down in midfield. WINDBER-JOH NSTOWN November 24 Every minute of the annual VVindber-Johnstown game was filled with thrills. Early in the first quarter, Johnstown took the ball forty yards for a touchdown, with Pejack going fifteen yards on the final play. The try for the extra point failed. Immediately Windbei' took the ball sixty-seven yards for their first touch- down. The final play was a pass, good for fifty-two yards. The extra point was converted by the use of a placement. Early in the second quarter, Wiiidber took the ball to the Johnstown ten yard line and kicked a field goal. Johnstown's second touchdown came in the third quarter when Johnstown went fifty-six yards for a touchdown, with Napotnic going over from the one yard line. Napotnic's try for the extra point failed. Early in the fourth quarter Johnstown took the ball thirty- four yards for their third touchdown, with Napotnic going over from the three yard line. Napotnic then hit the center of the line for the extra point. Neither side scored again, and when the final whistle blew the score stood, 19-10 in favor of Johnstown. JOHNSTOWN HIGH SCHOOL GOLF TEAM-1932 Last spring, for the first time, Johnstown High School was represented by a golf team. Mr. West, faculty manager of athletics, was the manager and coach. The following boys comprised the team: JosephiDubinsky Ccaptainj, Joseph Torok, Stephen Conway, Jr., and Bernard Wass. l73l . . ' Y 4' . 'o SHP Illifriimifgiitlli I W. from The Johnstown High School Band parades at the Schenley game. The team played the Hollidaysburg crack golf team at their golf course, and a return game at the Moose Golf Club. In the first game, Dubinskyys opponent was James Hunter, a youthful runner-up champion at Blairmont Country Club, while Torok played against Blair Worley, caddy champion of Central Pennsylvania. Conway and Wass also had prominent boys as their friendly foes. The game was a walk away for the Hollidaysburg team. lN'Ir. West, our adviser, had instructed us to play for par golf and not play our opponent. When the game got under way, our opponents shot sub-perfect golf, or in 'cfher words '+birdies,', which isfone 'under par. The result was a victory for them. The second game, played at the Moose Club at Johnstown, was also a victory for Hollidaysburg. On the first few holes. our team had a little edge on the visitors, but this did not stop them from winning. Though our golf team failed to gain any honors, the members wish to express their appreciation for the kindness of golfers who furnished the regular equipment, and lVIr. West for his advice and coaching. The team hopes that next spring a larger golf team can represent Johnstown High School, and that the team may equal the achievements of other high schools. l7+l LSEIP HE lElfMfG1b1lR THE CHEERLEADERS OF 1932 The Johnstown High Cheerleaders of 1932 are: QLeft to rightj hierle Phillips, Lorraine Zubrod.
