The boys, who belong to the football, basketball or the track team must deprive themselves of many enjoyable events in order that they may be in the best condition when they oppose a team from one of our neighboring towns. Those who work to make our Gazette and Hi-News a success must not be forgotten, because they have a task equally important, although their task taxes their mental ability instead of their physical ability. The Student Council, the Glee and Choral Clubs, and the Orchestra all tend to make our school bet- ter. because of the efforts of the members of these different clubs. What is to be said of those who never take part in any of these school activities? One cannot say they are not loyal as it is very often these students who in their own way support their school by going to the different games, plays or concerts which are held. One generally hears a word of praise for our school instead of words that cannot be called just the best. Even the smallest Seventh year students always have their word of praise to add. V . S., '26. By Their Vlforks You Shall Know Them One of the most recent and noteworthy attain- ments that the students of the Lock Haven High School have accomplished is-? Three guesses. Here are several clues. It is 1101 an athletic victory, for they have become rather common, as we usually win. Although it has nothing to do with the winning of the athletic contest, still it is through this strange something that we learn all the inside facts about the contest. Through it the public learns to know our school and what we are accomplishing. The students and teachers themselves learn things that are taking place about the school through this strange impelling force. alt is always timely, newsy, amusing. Now of course you have guessed it. Every stu- dent knows and reads the Hi-News. Many students contribute weekly that it may be a successg and it is a success, but the goal is not yet reached. Next fall i'Hi-News must be continued on a larger scale. If the students continue to strive to make this school paper better, much greater success is in store for the students and the school. L. G., i26. Forgetting There are joys and privileges of being a High School student. but no person would wish to remain one forever. There are heights to climb, other prizes to capture in the great game of life, and we must start out to capture them early if we wish to suc- ceed. When we go out this year, we shall take with us great memories of our studies, teachers, friends and experiences which we have collected during our school life. To be successful we must keep the straight path to the goal, and bear in mind the high pledges which we made during our high school days. We must remember that nothing is reached by a single bound, and that no one comes into success without previous ceaseless toil. .l. E. B., '26. Where Do We Go From Here? Where do we go from here? That is a question that confronts every graduate. How one is to an- swer it is up to the individual. There are some who choose a place where they can remain permanently and obtain success for themselves. There are others who choose a place where they have really no desire to go but are forced to, and where they will never stay. The latter kind are the type which are not advantageous to civilization. Put this question directly to the seniors of our high school. How will they answer it? Some will say, I am going to college or a Normal School, others, I am going to be a stenographerf' and still others. I am going to clerk or work in a mill. Wlhich of these are rightly answered and which are not? To the mind of the different individuals, his particular choice is very good, but to the minds THE G.4ZETTEe of the critics, is it? In looking over the places named above I think the first two are correctly chosen, but as for the last two, I can see no room for advancement. How many of us really choose the right destination? That is a question we, as seniors, can answer later in life. I hope the critics can say all members of the class of '26 chose the right road. V. M., '26. The Senior If you were to look in the dictionary for this word you would find that it meant elder, superior in rank or dignity. True, it means all this, but to the High School student it has a deeper meaning. To the underclassman the Senior is a person to be envied. That honorable person has the right of way in the halls and indeed has many such privi- leges denied to the other classmen. They sit and wonder if at any time they will be so popular as to have a meeting every day in the week, or get to usit before the camera, or even be able to visit and confer with Mr. Puderbaugh in the office without having been sent there by some irate teacher. Some- times it seems hopeless to them but time passes quickly and in a few short years they will be the Seniors. ' Then, perhaps. they won't enjoy it so much. They will be the examples for their younger classmates, and if they commit a misdemeanor the faculty will not look on and say, Oh, he is only a Freshman. We must have patience with him. Instead they will seriously consider your act in faculty meeting and the next day everyone will look at you and make you feel very guilty. Oh, yes. and it isn'u so pleasant to spend your evenings poring over Macbeth of Burke's Speech of Conciliation, They aren't nearly so easy to grasp as Treasure lslandi' or King Arthur's Court. And perhaps you will wish you were in Sev- enth Grade when you are called on to speak in chapel. It isn't the nicest thing in the world to stand before several hundred people and have your paper shake and your knees knock together. But. the good points of being a Senior outweigh the bad. You will enjoy the feeling that comes with this position and you will be proud that you are a Senior in High School. Not because you are through school and will have no more lessons to do, but be- cause you have finished your four years in High School successfully and willingly. You will be on the threshold of life and the time will have come when you must do your best in this great world: when you must put to use the knowl- edge received during those four years. Many of you will enter professions and perhaps some of you will make a name for yourselves. but sometime when you are weary of this game of life you will wish you' were again that envious under- classman in Old High. N. B., '27. Success WVhat is the aim of every boy or girl, who enters High School? What is the aim of everyone who starts out into the business world, what is that little thing that everybody wants but all do not care to work for, what is that which we all like to see others obtain? It is a very small word yet a very large world has been built by it. The word is simply, Success , B. s., '26. How to Know a Good Book You may ask the question, NWhat is a good book, anyhow? How am I to know a good book? or f'Why should I read a book that does not interest me in the least even though great men have praised it?i' The answers will be different from different people, for what some consider a good book, you may not like. The first thing that you have a right to ask of any book or piece of literature is that it shall in- terest you-give you pleasure. The second step is to test this pleasure. Would you enjoy read- ing it the second time? Another is to ask your- self if it is the kind of book that could be enjoyed by the majority of educated people of good taste, and finally, you may analyze the book itself. Does it contain the emotional, intellectual, and artistic qualities that have made books of the same class live for years? These are three of the most important ways of judging a bookg by the impressions it makes on you, by accepting the verdict of others, and by analyzing the qualities of the book itself. All books that can be classed as literature are divided into two classesg those that are read by everybody for a little while, then die and are for- gotten, and those that are read by everybody forever. You can readily see that the books that live are of a higher order than the others. It is a well known fact fstrange as it may seem? that the scenes, characters, and story of the novel of the hour are soon forgotten, while the characters of the long-lived books may become life-long friends. The present problem is to find the good books that are meant for you in your present phase. If, after a fair trial. a book fails to interest you, you may lay it aside knowing it is not meant for you-at least at the present time. even if it is a good book. It was a perfectly normal boy who complained about the way so many good stories were spoiled by put- ting in girls and thingsfso that so much had to be skipped. Children are introduced to good literature by Bible stories. legendary-histories, fairy tales, and the like. They like these stories because they ap- peal to their imagination and they understand them. Boys and girls in their early life like to read poems by Longfellow because they understood them. So it is with you and all of us. We must find the- books we understand before we can enjoy them. Ef H., '26. The Secret of Success l. Push, said the button. 2. Never be lead,'i said the pencil. 3.

History of the Class of 1926 TH'E GAZETTE We shall always cherish the fond memories of that day in the fall of twenty-one when we entered school as freshmen. Oh! how shy and timid we wereg but with the help and sympathy of our upper- classmen we soon became accustomed to our sur- roundings and we took on such dignity and pride that even Seniors did not know. We showed the fine spirit which has character- ized the class of '26 in our four years of school, by organizing early and choosing Frederick Hoffman to guide our faltering footsteps through that long year of uncertainty. After hours of bewilderment in a sea of beautiful colors, we chose blue and gold for our pennant. We immediately became a part of Old High and had Walter Levine represent our class on the cham- pion football team of that year. Soon after a new hero came to the frontg he was a big, muscular Frosh. and stood head and shoulders above his classmates in academic work. Today he is a shining light of our track team, was a star tackle on our national champion football team and better yet, is valedictorian of our class. We know this intellectual genius as Harold Kline, a red eyei' from Flemington. Later on in the basketball season, when the High School varsity struck a snag, our class came to the rescue, through the services rendered by Wal- ter Levine who helped the team over the rough spots. This same modest Walter is today in the athletic limelight of the state. When the spring play, Bob White, was pro- duced our class was asked to contribute some of its beauty and musical talent, we did our sltare and a score of our most beautiful belles and dancers represented our class and helped to make HBob White a real succex. Only one thing marred our happiness this de- lightful year and that was the thought of our final exams. But when. after a great deal of useless wor- rying, we learned we had passed we left school that year determined to do still better next year. Under the guidance of Harold Kline, as presi- dent, in its Sophomore year, the class of 1926 rose to a point of eminence from which it has never re- ceded,. Louise Agar was our able vice-president and Linetta Crier our secretary and treasurer. Although just Sophomores we established our po- sition in High School by winning both the girls' and boys' class championships in basketball. Buck Mc- Gill captained the boys' team and Louise Yingling the girls'. Buck is still with us and giving a good account of himself. Louise was obliged to leave school due to the illness of her mother. We regret having to give her up. '26 takes great pride in having contributed such football stars as Bull Levine, Charles Slopey and Harold Kline, who rose to prominence in their Sopho- more year by winning a place on the first team. They have continued to shine brilliantly ever since. That year we played Harrisburg Tech for the first time. We lost the game but we put up a worthy battle. Sophomore year gave us a good start in our High School life and showed us and the rest of the school the mighty things of which we as a class are capable. In the fall of the '24 we entered what was perhaps the happiest and most eventful year of our High School career. We had the gratifying knowledge that we now could look down on the underclassmen as we had before been looked down upon, yet we didn't have the thought of approaching departure ever before us, as do Seniors. We have always looked forward to the time when we would be Seniors. Without realizing that, as Juniors, we had that sense of importance that a Senior has, with- out the thought of parting and foreboding about the future. Red Fisher was selected to be at our helm during this eventful year. We selected our class ring and pin after much delay and many hard fought battles. One of the greatest things in this year was the Athletics. It was then we reached the high water mark in all around sports, and our class contributed a great portion of the stars. Who can ever forget that mighty football team, that for the first time de- feated Harrisburg Tech, Or our basketball team, one of the best in the state! Yes, '26 had stars there. toog nor was the winning track team destitute of representatives of the Blue and Gold. Our athletic activities were not only the events into which we entered. We presented our Junior Class play, The New Poor, and showed that we had not only talent along the lines of athletics. The next thing we undertook was the duty of host and entertainer to the departing Seniors. With much excitement and worry we planned the annual Junior Prom, with an aim to make it better than it had ever been before., And it was a success. Then there was a Junior night-with what fun and merri- ment we prepared for that. Between times, we managed to give SOIIIE thoughts to our studies and 'in a more serious moment tried to fit ourselves for the all important duties of a Senior. As each succeeding fall found us advanced one year, thus the fall of 1925 found us Seniors-our last year in Lock Haven High School. We realized, from the beginning, that we must make this last year count. After we had been in school a few weeks, the annual election took place. At this time we elected for our President Rishell Karachner. He always maintained a high scholastic standing, later being one of the Honor Students of our class and he proved to be one of our ablest Presidents. As usual, we contributed to the success of ath- letics, especially football. Each year we won new laurels, but this year we far surpassed the others. By defeating the strongest teams in the West, Engle- wood High School team, we won the National Cham- pionship. Practically the whole football team was made up of Senior boys. The election of the cap- tain was not held until after the football season and the honor went to Walter Levine. As soon as football was over, basketball season came to the front. The Fates seemed to be against us because we lost the majority of the games. Again, Walter Levine was the captain. The mid years came a few weeks after the Christ- mas holidays. As in preceding years, we worried and crammed for those ever dreaded examinations. Fortunately, we all passed and then prepared for the last semester. With spring came track. This year the girls also participated in track events. Soon after that work had begun, the boys lost their coach because of an THE G A ZEITTE unfortunate circumstance. The boys did not lose their courage and under the leadership of Mr. Pu- derbaugh carried on the work. The honor of cap- tainship was given to another Senior-Russell Burd, our invincible pole vaulter. To follow the precedent set by some former Senior class, it was our duty to give the annual class play. After discussing many plays, She Stoops to Conquer, by Goldsmith, was finally decided upon. Stars such as Richard Parsons and Madeline Harri- son, who show special dramatic ability, were again brought forth in the limelight. The play was a dazzling success and a credit to the Senior class. Two new things we started this year. At the be- ginning of the second semester, Hi News was started. This meant that every Saturday news of the High,School would be published in the Lock Haven Express. Each week a new editor appeared at the helm. As a result of this movement, a lit- erary club composed of aspiring young journalists, was formed with Kermit Claster as President. The other thing I spoke of, was our debating team. Here again our Seniors, such as Paul Wainger, shone forth as debaters. After four years of companionship in both work and 'iplayf' we come to our first separation-gradua- tion. Harold Kline who has always excelled in his studies and has been an all-around student, de- servedly won the valedictorianship. We shall al- ways hold in our hearts memories of High School days in old High. M. S., '26, M. D., '26g L. A., '26, I. S., '26. Prophecy of tl1eClass of 1926 I donned my best wings, adjusted my halo, bid good-bye to St. Peter and set off for my visit to the earth. You see, twenty years had passed since I had last seen my classmates of L. H. H. S., class of 1926, and even in that Land of everlasting happi- ness, one longs to see his old friends again. So I sailed down, down, down, for to reach the earth one must go through that land of darkness which had undergone many changes recently, thus changing from a much dreaded place to a spot of curiosity and excitement. Pluto himself met me at the gate, and gave me a 'iwarmu welcome. Well, John Fisher--how did you get here? I asked the gaily bedecked Pluto, in astonishment. Why, haven't you heard? I won the last elec- tion over Ralph Harvey who is now consoling him- self by having an affair with Madeline Miller who is the most notorious woman of New York, Paris, and Beech Creek. Follow me, you must allow me to show you through this beautiful country, so saying, John pointed out many bizarre buildings and such in gaudy colors. The whole place looked like a futuristic painting made in 1926. While sight- seeing in Hades that morning, I encountered several of my former classmates. Glenn Funk and Harold Gummo were enjoying a round of golf on a black golf course fall golfers usually land in the same place for the same reasoni. Carol Oberheim was fireman for the concern-he differed from the ordi- nary type of fireman, insomuch as he always had the place sufficiently warm. Marg. Coira was the boss of that land, that is, she was .Iohn's wife, his queen. - Are any more of my friends down here?'i I asked John as he led me to an elevator. Only Rob- ert Klewans, the ice man, and Wilford Law who runs the elevator. But many of them come down here often to cool off when the pace gets too hot for them on earth. laughed Pluto in reply. After promising John to visit Margaret and him on my way home, I boarded the elevator and started up to earth. I found Wilford to look much older, fnaturallyi but he was still the same Wilford, with the same plump face. and he hadn't grown a speck. He told me that he had married Gertie O'Day sev- eral years, ago. and that Wilford, Ir., only nine years 41 old, could make a saxophone talk.,' He also told me that his friend, Red Eberhart. was leading a wild life as the most eligible bachelor in Lock Ha- ven-that he had recently inherited a couple of millions-and Red, never having been too hard on the eyes-well-you know how it is! By this time we had reached China which was the terminus for the elevator on earth. I bid good- bye to Wilford, sent my regards to Gertrude, and went sight-seeing in the upside-down country of China. I changed my garb before entering the city limits of China and parked my wings and halo outside- for you know, the Chinaman has odd ideas of his own. But it seems as though I were a suspicious looking character to the Chinaman, even without my angelic faculties, because I had not gone far be- fore I was roughly seized and thrown into the coup. Imagine my astonishment on seeing Harold Kline -yes, the Harold Kline of 1926--locked up in the Pen, He was now a Deacon and had been doing missionary work. Because he solved some very diffi- cult world-wide problem, fsomething about the fourth and fifth dimensions, I believe, he said? these superstitious yellow men insisted on his being wicked, terribly dangerous crazy, or something- anyway, here he was in the pen-but WITH pardon in view from the American Consul who, he told me, was Rishell Karchner. At this point, who should walk in but Linetta Grier and Esther Smith, missionaries fLinetta hav- ing been a grass widow for yearsi to visit with Harold. They had me set free, and after bidding the Deacon gooy-bye, I set out once more. Before boarding an electroplane headed for Lock Haven, I stopped at an American restaurant for a bite to eat. My old friends, Gordon Meyers and Lester Yearick, happened to be the proprietors. Gordon's wife, formerly Emma Williams, waited on me. She told me that Mary Selfe and Thelma High were teachers in a high school in the African jungles, and were having loads of fun with the young canni- hals. Emma also told me that Dorothy Schadt and Harry Romig were leading a peaceful married life in the city of Castanea, and that Eunice Heckman was now Mrs. Theodore Harpster. After having met Q hands high above my head, I swung it THE GAZETTE ster's wife, a little China doll fLester always did h ve good tastel I again started out.

King Vidor had nothing on John Widmann as a director as he stood, shouting, Shoot!', through a egaphone. Timothy Cross was a cameraman and e of the other hands were Frank Hartman, .lohn rvey, and Donald Hickoif. When it was shot, I P R so H ra over to greet my former classmates. I learned th t they. were making scenes for that super-pro- d tion, The Sins of Hail Columbia, written by ery promising scenario writer, Lilith De Koven 'llard, who Tim told me was my old playmate A eline Yost-now Mrs. Ardelle Nestlerode. -and porter of the family. After talking with all my nds a while, I sought further sights on that fair a G su fri Isl . One, two, three, cavort, four, five, swish-swish! I t rned to see where all the swishing was coming fro and was delighted to see Pauline Heydrick, M tha Forsht, Nellie Limbert, Caroline Poorman. Be nice Heberling, and Lulu Palmer, all attired in gr s skirts, wreaths of flowers and bare feet. They lol me they had sworn off all men and had come down to Honolulu to lead their own free lives. Ma tha had been married to Earl Daley and later to harles Felix. She divorced both of them, nam- ing Ruth McCloskey, in the case of Earl, as co- res ondent. Charles she divorced for non-support an desertion. As it was about time for the electro- pla e to start on its way, I said good-bye to the girl and boarded the plane. Our next stop was to be aris. he electroplane was quite crowded, so we had to tavel at a much slower rate of speed. We had not gone far before I noticed a person performing stu s on top of a high pole. I asked my fellow pas. nger fwho happened to be, by the way, Mel- vin t idmannl what the queer looking pole was, and why that long-legged fellow was standing on top of the pole, waving .his arms in that silly manner. Mel- vin told me that the pole wask the North Pole and that the figure on top of the pole was Bernard Tim s, announcing a snowball game to take place het ,en the Ice Breakers and the Snow Pushers. Sure enough. there was Barnard, looking as natural as ever. I learned that the captains of the snow- ball iteams were also classmates of mine-Louis Mc- Gill, captain of the Ice Breakers, and Martin Stai- man, captain of the Snow Pushers. The electroplane came to a standstill, so I bid good-bye to Melvin. o this is Paris! I breathed a deep sigh of cont tment. Well, the old place surely looked nat- ural- in fact it looked more like Paris than it had CVC OVCT r,!looked before--people dancing and drinking all the place. I walked over to a crowd of merry- make s and there, to my surprise, found Winifred l-Iarn1,an's dancing to be the main attraction. Well, Bill OVC Harman! I exclaimed. She immediately came r ito talk with me. She had married Frederick Eichenlaub who was as yet a budding poet-and you know how these budding poets are-well-well- Bill just had to dance if she wished to eat. I asked her about the other Mill Hall girls, and learned that Eloise Brungard was a teacher in Mill Hall School, and that Bessie Smith was the new con- stable of that vicinity. Fay Greib and Lillian Shill- ing conducted an art school in Clintondale, Bill also told me. As for the Mill Hall boys, she told me that Frances Packer had married Francis Seybold af- ter Miriam Blesli, his old sweetheart had thrown him over for John Smithq and that William Krape had married Dorothy Confer and was leading a rather miserable life as Dorothy went in for women's rights. Oh, yes, do you know who .else is in Paris? Bill exclaimed. '6No, tell me, I coaxed. Ben Friedman who is now proprietor of the Monte Mart which he has changed into a health resort. After leaving Winnie, I walked on in the streets of Paris. hoping to see more of my old friends. Having a ticklish sensation in my throat I entered a drug store to buy a box of Smith Brothers Cough Drops. I came out, however, with a box of Ohl Brothers Cough Drops-yes, the Smith Brothers were out of the race in beards as well as in cough drops, so I learned, since Morris and Robert had taken a hand in that business. I was walking along, chewing my cough drops without much of a thought in my head when I heard my name called. Turning, I saw my old pal, Mid Gardner. Why! Mid, what are you doing here? I ex- claimed. I've been working for Sam Smithers, the Amer- ican Nut Manufacturer, since Cam O'Flage married Clare Shope. Hadn't you heard? S'long! I'm late now! With that she was off, and I walked on. I bought myself a New York newspaper and the Lock Haven Express fwhich as you know had some- what increased its circulation since I was last on earthi. and made my way to a park to enjoy a few hours of quiet reading. When finally seated on a bench I opened the New York paper first CI al- ways did save best things 'till lastl, and glanced at the headlines. Gyke Wainger, gang-leader of Chicago gun- men finally in the hands of justice. were the head- lines. Upon reading the article. I discovered that Blaine 'Kunes, the successor of Sherlock Holmes, was the detective responsible for this big catch of the season. I also read that Blaine's wife. for- merly Louise Armstrong. was very proud of Blaine. I turned to the scandal section and there, on the first page were pictures of Edward Hoberman, Kath- erine Hanna, Hiram Pursley and Marguerite Fish- burne. I read the article, thereby learning that Ed- ward Hoberman had been a dancing teacher and had been in love with Katherine Hanna, his as- sistantg but Katherine Hanna eloped with Hiram Pursley, the champion indoor golfer, and so caused two hearts to be broken-Edward's and Marguer- ite's-for Marguerite had set her cap for Hiram. Disappointment drove Marguerite to the circus. On reading the comic section, I learned that my old friends, Norman Morgan and Lester Shaffer had become very funny cartoonists CI mean their car- toons were funnyl. The only other thing of interest in that paper was .the advertisement, Have Creases Put in Your THE GAZETTE Brain While You Wait-Do Your Insects Suffer From Halitosis?-See Us!-Claster and Gage- Brain and Bug Specialists. I always knew that Kermit and Lewis would make good, I said to my- self as I put the New York paper aside, and picked up the Lock Haven Express. Cyrus Rote was now editor of this paper, fMr. 0'Reilly retired many years ago? and Gladys Car- stater and Annette Kryder were two of his assistants. .lulia Sykes and Arthur Rupert were reporters. ,I first perused the editorial section and there read a letter to the editor asking why a woman's base- ball team should not be organized in Lock Ha- ven, The letter closed with the sentence, We feel sure we, the undersigned, could make a winning team. The letter was signed by my old friends Kathryn Paul, Hazel Nolan, Helen Klinefelter, ,les- sie Hunter, Agatha Miller, Henrietta Murray, Bea- trice Selfe, Ethel Moyer and Katherine Weaver. Cn the front page of the Express were the head- lines, Lock Haven Woman Candidate for Sheriff of Clinton County -and the candidate was Van- etta Mader,.and she was running against Lynn Stephens who had a big pull in Beech Creek. I next turned to the personal column and there read, Mrs Burton Confer, of Beech Creek, formerly Catherine A. McNerney, of Lock Haven, and daughter spent Thursday in this city. 'allfiss champion Sophia Caprio has recently been elected embroider of Clinton County. Mrs. John Whiting, formerly Dorothy Conklin, caught a four-foot trout while on a fishing trip with her husband. Q Reading of so many of my old friends made me impatient board the time-table Haven in to reach Lock Haven, so I decided to next ship out of Europe. I looked at my and saw that one was leaving for Lock about fifteen minutes. I hastened to the Atlantic Ocean station, and got there just in time to make the ship. The ocean was great and I just loved sailing un- til five little bratty children made life miserable for me by asking no end of foolish questions and play- ing all sorts of tricks on me. Where are your par- ents? Why don't you run along and pester them? I crossly asked the children. I am their motherg did you wish to see me? spoke a voice back of me. I turned and faced the stout lady who was speaking. Ida Stouck-you! I nearly fell over from surprise. Not Stouck any more! with that she slipped her arm into Russel Burd's. They told me that they were just returning home from a pleasant trip abroad fpersonally, I didn't believe them-the trip couldn't be pleasant with such brats alongl. I asked Ida about several of our schoolmates and the only news I learned was that Hall Achenbach was chairman of the Entertainment Committee at the 'Danville Asylum at which Madeline Harrison was also an inmate: she had been there ever since the days of the class prophecy. Who is that with the red nose, standing in the middle of the ocean?-It surely isn't the statue of liberty! I ex- claimed. Oh, no,-that's Tom Wilt, the Atlantic prohibition agent, Ida answered. After an hour of sailing-we landed in the har- bor of Lock Haven. I bid good-bye to Mr. and Mrs. Burd and to all the little Burdies, and started up Main Street alone. The town was quiet as ever and tall didn't seem to have changed a bit. Even the figure comingdown the street, tipping his high silk red hat to everybody and everything, and waving a and white banner didn't seem to have changed at all, except that he looked much older. Margaret Diack was the first acquaintance that I met in the fair city of Lock Haven that afternoon. Marg, as fickle as ever, had been divorced three times and already had a prospective husband in viewg the new victim was Matthew Shaw, now a very successful minister. I learned from Marg that Ralph Miller was the new Mayor of Lock Haven, and that his wife was Gladys Lockard. We happened to be passing the district attor- neyis office, and as there seemed to be something exciting going on within, we entered. There we found Walter Levine, coach of the Lock Haven foot- ball team, trying to get a divorce from his wife, who was formerly Sarah Wainger. Bull claimed Sarah beat him up terribly and abused him all the time. George Meyers, also one of my classmates, happened to be the District Attorney. We didn't wait to see the result of the case but went on up to Achies tyes, it was still thereb to get a Coca-Cola. While sitting in Achenbaclfs, Georgia Hursh came over and asked us if we would play basketball that afternoon against the Flemington Belles. She said Lock Haven only had Catharine Greninger, Ethel Williamson, Naomi Wentz, and herself to play-and who ever heard of four girls winning a basketball game. Marg. said she would play, but I declined. I was just going out when whom should I see coming in but Maude Caldwell and Clyde Rishel. I talked to them long enough to know that they were married, and then went on. While going up the street, I met Harry Romig and Harvey Kryder who had bought out Barnum 81 Bailey's circus. They looked pretty prosperous too. I stopped at the Community Service building and there found Julia Grieco and Vida Shaffer, doing community service work. I learned from Vida that Helen Louise Van Dyke had married Mervin Bar- tholomew and that Louise .Iohnson had married Charles Shultz. She said both couples were very happy. .lulia told me that Samuel Remick hadn't been able to decide for the last ten years whether he loved Effie Apker, or whether Naomi Peter held the key to his heart. I said I hoped Sam would soon decide, and then said good-bye. 1 had had enough of the earth for a while--of course, it had been good to see my friends again but-it was a better land where I came from, and I was ready for my wings. -- -1 -- Thus ends the tale of the actual happenings that will occur to the class of '26-the most noteworthy class that has ever left the portals of old High.

THE GAZETTE Last Will and Testament We, the Senior class of the Lock Haven High School, being of sound mind and memory, and con- sidering the uncertainty of this frail and transitory life, do therefore make, ordain, publish and declare, this to be our last will and testament. I. We order and direct that owing to the com- ing absence Of us, the Senior Class, the present Junior Class shall fill the vacuum left, and this in spite of the fact that many say there is much of a vacuum there at present. II. We bequeath to the future inheritors of our proud and noble estate, all of the supplements, which go therewith, including our stately dignity, our beloved pedagogues, our domain in the middle section of the auditorium and our loving kindness to such less fortunate creatures as lower classmen and athletic coaches. Recognizing, as we do, the in- calculable handicap under which all nascent senior labor-the fear that they may not be able to eapably uphold the traditions of the class of yore-we rec- ommend an entire casting away of old ties and bonds. Therefore courage and confidence, two great reasons for Our brilliant record, we have to present' the Junior class. We might say in passing that the first of these admirable qualities-our noble digirity-we warrant to be as good' as new inasmuch asqwe have taken special care not to impair it by any rigorous usage. III. To Mr. Tillman we devise Miss Crance's ability to find lost keys tmislaid by the Glee Clubl. IV. To Mr. Martin, we bequeath one book of chemistry experiments which the author does not 1W8nI. V.

To Mr. Puderbaugh, another intelligent, wide-awake algebra class. IX. To Miss Rivenberg, a rousing cheer from the rear left corner of her Cicero class. X. To Mr. Hoch, any excess elucidation in the Senior Class. We regret to say that Mr. Hoch is not likely to receive anything, XI. To the school as a whole, Harold Kline's brains.

The association is indeed proud of this, the latest class to leave tlte portals of our Alma Mater. Not only have you es- tablished a brilliant record scholastically, but in all other fields of endeavor. have your activities been of the highest rank. You have demonstrated that athletics and studies may go hand-in-hand in the achievements of your valiant Harold Kline. You have engaged in more and varied activities than any other class in the history of the school, debating. orchestra, Hi News, Rifle Clubg all these have been fostered under your interest and guidance. You have left a rich and fertile field for the oncoming classes, and you have added much to the noble heritage of 'iOld High. The association knows that your splendid en- deavor will always be given in upholding the .tradi- tions of L. H. H. S. Your best means of self-ex- pression to your school, is through the Alumni As- sociation. We know you will achieve splendid things, but will you remember in the midst of your triumph to keep alive your part of the spirit of the Lock Haven High School Alumni Association? We need you-1926-but we know you will not fail us. A memorial to the work of one of Lock Haven High School's first teachers. and through her a memorial to the work of all the teachers who have helped to build Lock Haven High School'into the fine institution it has become, is one of the pur- poses of the endowment scholarship fund campaign which the High School Alumni are carrying on this spring. The scholarship fund, however, is intended to serve also as a gift of appreciation from all the graduates. for the happiness of High School days. the service of High School instruction, and the value of High School associations. The endowment fund, according to the gradu- ates who are in charge of raising it. is to be placed in trust, at interest. The yearly income will be used for the awarding of the Agnes K. Reilly scholar- ship and such other scholarship prizes as the size of the income will warrant. The Alumni hope to raise from a thousand to 51.400 which will be enough to send at least one student to the Normal School every vear. The Alumni fund will thus serve three splendid purposes. lt will express the gratitude of the gradu- ates to the teachers who helped them learn some of the permanent values of life, teachers such as Miss Reilly who are remembered after many years with affection and respect. It will be a sort of con- crete recognition of the thought contained in this piece of anonymous verse: A Teacher? Soliloquy I gave myself to forty Who journeyed far away, And now I sit and wonder Where all I am today. One One of me builds bridges, is mining ore, One has bought a railroad, And one a candy store. One is making dresses, One is playing ball, One goes in for politics And I am with them all. I gave myself to forty, I wonder could it be That I went out with each of them Yet each one stayed with me? It will also give tlte graduates an opportunity to show some material appreciation of what the High School itself did for them. The four years which constitute the High School career are usually filled with experiences wlticlt become most pleasant mem- ories when High Scltool days are over. The Alumni fund will also reflect the graduates' recognition of the needs of the school. The Lock Haven High School has served Lock Haven more effectively than any other institution. The establish- ment of a scholarship such as the alumni propose might very well be a city project ,in which the whole town might join. Such a campaign is more fittingly undertaken by the graduates, however, since their interest in the school is more intimate and personal. Contributions for the establishment of the fund have been received in both large and small amounts. The most important thing is that they be received in large numbers. If a large nucleus can be estab- lished this year, with a fund large enough to send a student to Normal School or help pay his tuition at college, it would be the logical thing for other classes as they graduate and become members of the a'uxnni body to add to the fund and build it up yer by year. Thus the endowment fund might grow with the High School. keeping pace with its grow- ing needs and reflecting the constant spirit of appre- ciation on the part of the High School graduates. Did You Know That-+ Lester Claster, '22, graduates from the Wharton Pepper School of Finance, University of Pennsyl- vania, this June. Lester, who has been doing special research work, was chosen' class prophet, a tribute which shows the success Lester has made at U. of P.

Also the election of Eleanor Green, '21, and Erma Gast, '18, to positions on the High School faculty. Miss Green graduates from Sweet Briar this year and Miss Gast has been a very successful teacher in the Robb School. Paul Klepper, '14, has removed his family to Lock Haven, where he is employed by the Lock Haven Express. Paul has been connected for some years with the Grit Publishing Co., of Williamsport. That Don Griffin, '17 was offered the position of coaching at Lock Haven High School, but felt that he. would rather return to Princeton, where he has been very successful as freshman football coach? Friends of Miss Frances Smith, '25, recently gave a shower for her. She will become the bride of Mr. Merrill Gordon, of Bellefonte, Pa. That Reitz and Brownlee, '25, have made good at Kiski Prep School. Both boys were members of the varsity football, track and basketball teams. Speaking of the athletes from 1925, we saw Wil- bur Getz and Dean Fredericks at Easter time. Both these fellows wore the Varsity A from Alford Uni- versity, where they have been at school. Deaths The Alumni Association pauses to pay tribute to those who have passed, in the last year, from this world to the greater life beyond. We extend our heartfelt sympathy to those who mourn these loved ones, and trust that Time will heal the heartache and make dearer all precious their loved ones.

Shadows glided here and there, playing about the walls of the dark shadowy room. Standing before a mirror, .lane smoothed her hair, then on impulse, glided to the door to listen. Holding the candle with one hand she opened the heavy oak door, paused at the top of the stairs, and peered into a bottomless pit of darkness. Stealthily, yet cautiously, she crept dow11 the stairway-onfftwo-threev-four fiights. She came to some passages. Should she take the right or the left passage? She knew that she could not have ventured so far in this unknown house, but just as she was about to turn. her arms struck the wall. The candle fell from the holder. The flame was out and now she must feel her way back. At the same moment she most unhappily recalled the story of a haunted castle. In that castle some one's candle had been blown out by a mysterious draft. He had been stricken by the sight of a- She gasped. then frozefor around the corner about which she groped, stood faintly illumined the figure of a man. And indeed he looked like the ghost of a murdered man. She shrank against the wall, waiting. He coughed-then seemed to fade into the wall. The passage was dark again. Very boldly she stepped forward. She had read of many ghosts but she was certain that they never coughed- besides figures never faded into walls. A door slammed. ' She found the door, slightly ajar. Faint streams of music could be heard-so faint, it again reminded her of ghosts. She opened the door a trifle wider. The tall figure of a woman robed in white could be seen. Suddenly-she felt- herself lifted and held in a grip of steel. She screamed-struggled-but to no avail. The arms about her tightened. She glanced up! Horrors,-where had she seen that face! Au ugly, distorted. cruel face with hard, cruel, glitter- ing eyes which burned into her like steel needles. With her last ounce of strength, she struck the face bent so sneeringly over her. She was released-felt herself, slipping, slipping, slipping- .lane awoke, trembling and gasping from the fright of her terrible- dream. Never again would she go to see such pictures as The Phantom of the Opera? S. W.. '26. A Sad Story During the next few weeks millions of people in America are going to be driven from their happy homes and their houses will be devastated. Millions of men and little children will be forced to live on crusts and left-overs, and to wander helplessly about in search of some familiar habitation. The curtains will be torn from the windows, the very carpets from the floors. If you have any fishing-tackle, brother, bury it in the back yard. If you have an old hat that fits, put it in a safe deposit. For the hour of destruction is at hand. Leave no money in your old clothes, for, your garments shall soon adorn some hobo. Yes, some stranger shall soon be garbed in that old suit of yours that has begun to look bad, while you go about in one that looks worse. Your house shall become a pillar of dust by day, and a pillar of stones by night. You shall have no place to lie down, and no reason to get up. For the women of America are about to start their spring houseclean- ing! M. R., '26. Underclassmen: Do you think our work is ended? Do you think our task is through?

The Toll of the Desert The sun rose from behind the grim gray moun- tains to shine like a huge molten ball of flame upon the dry dusty waste of the desert. The desert which, when under the folds of night was very cold, soon became quite warm casting large waves of heat from its burning sands. Far off in the distance could be seen huge gray mountains bordering the desert and acting like sentinels over the valley below. This great desert of sand carrying the terrifying name of Death Valley, is known as one of the most dreaded and feared places in the world. Every- where covering this valley could be seen bones of different animals, some large, small and medium and even here and there a human skeleton. There was not a tree or a sign of vegetation in sight which made the desert valley seem all the more dreary. Away out on t.he peak of the horizon could be seen a small spot moving closer and closer all the time. At first one would think it to be an animal, but then one knows that animals are very rarely seen THE G ZETTE .1 on the desert. It must be something else. Upon closer examination it was found to be a man walking with a hunted look on his face and always looking behind him. He was a roughly dressed individual with a great beard upon his face. and walked with a slight limp. He had a queer scar on the side of his cheek in the shape of a half moon. He walked always toward the sun with faltering step frequent- ly looking behind him as if fearing pursuit. He walked thus for hours, his steps becoming weaker and shorter all the time. All the while he was walking he was murmuring broken parts of a sentence which concerned a water hole a short dis- tance away. Suddenly he sighted his destination and running forward with renewed vigor and strength, came to what was paradise to him. an oasis in the desert with clear running water. He plunged down fiat on his face drinking the water with huge gulps and heaving great sighs of content. Suddenly he jumped into the air with an awful shriek of pain and saw gliding away in the distance a huge rattle- snake. Quickly pulling up the leg of his tattered pants he saw two tiny dots like pin-holes in his leg. He quickly clapped his hands to it and tried to squeeze out the poison but he found this impossible. His leg was swelling rapidly and becoming more painful causing groans of despair and pain. Soon his eyes took a vague lookg he lay on the ground now in a sort of stupor barely moving. As the sun sank in the west. he raised his head for a last time letting forth a shudder as if in pain and fear. then dropped apparently lifeless in the cool sand by the well. Soon large gray birds of the desert circled around above him. and making sure that their vic- tim was dead, swooped down upon him to add more human bones to the desert. Thus the desert had taken toll once more. At about the same time the K'I..os Palos Tribune came out with the following article: Noted crimi- nal. George English, escaped from the California state prison. He was very tall, walking with a slight limp and bearing a scar on his cheek in the shape of a half moon. YVhen last heard of he was headed in the direction of Death Valley. - R. B.. '26. To Paper Oh. paper. with what dismay I view you! My heart sinks as I consider your purpose-a back ground for the writings and scrawlings of authors throughout thousands of years. And now, as I rack my brain for a topic of an essay, I suddenly remem- ber you, paper. as the malicious factor enabling even me to write. Rambling on with my thoughts, and more seri- ously considering the above statements. I must, in all justice, alleviate those rather harsh expressions of dislike. For, paper. how could I become edu- cated without your aid? It is you who transmutes to me the knowledge and experience of othersg it is to you that I give my own thoughts to be preserved. Oh, yes, paper. I have grossly misjudged you. But now that I have retracted my hasty judgment. you need not become egotistical and think so highly of yourself that you believe me about to use much of you in your own praise. No! My words are brief and blunt, expressing both like and dislike. I admire you. paper. because of your age and the great services you have performed. If the life of any mortal can contain more useful deeds than are 52 in your history. since the days of the papyrus rolls of ancient Egypt down to the newspapers of 1926, that human I have never seen. Because of you, pa- per, we know the acts of our forefathers thousands of years ago-were it not for you, we should have to rely almost entirely on mere exaggerated tradi- tion. Yes, paper, not only have you been of use in the past, but you are a great factor in our present-day life. What great service you perform in your being used in newspapers! Who is so poor that he cannot buy, at least occasionally, a newspaper to keep him- self acquainted with the news of the day? Your use in other publications, too, is almost inestimable in value, for magazines are the monitors of the bet- ter class of modern literature. This statement has exceptions. True, but up to this point this discus- sion contains an optimist's viewpoint. Now for the pessimist's view. This attack is not aimed directly at you. paper, but at those who so depreciate and underestimate your value as to use you as a background for cheap, glamorous and tawdry literature, not worthy even of being classed under that term. You are lowered, you are cheap- ened, and just for the amusement of some persons whose sense of true appreciation has never been de- veloped. Nevertheless. paper, your greatness far exceeds all your absurd uses for the entertainment of indis- creet readers: I blush with shame as I think of those first statements I made against youg you have a greater presentg but greatest of all will be your future. I. C.. '28. The Bal Masque You can't mean it-you can't! gasped the young man. His face paled beneath its mask. But I do mean it-I do love your brother! I have always loved him! Mona Paige was more be- witehing than ever in her sweeping gown of pearly tints, shimmering in the pale amber lights. She was costumed as she had told him she would be. even to the butterfly buckles on her nearly hidden pumps. Her eyes laughed mockingly behind their mask as she gazed on the dejected figure seated beside her. Faint wails of a saxophone mingled with the sound of dancing feet drifted out to them from the crowded ballroom. So that was it then! Mona had never really cared for him at all! She had only been playing with him-she+she really loved his brother in- stead. i'But. Mona, Bill is only a silly kid-hasn't a brain in his head-what's more, you could never tolerate him! Surely you-- That will do, Mr. Ivinter. I find I was very mistaken to ever have thought you a gentleman. Mona still disguised her naturally sweet voice by making it sound rather gruff and squeaky. I never wish to see you again, Sir! With a swish of her skirts. she swept from the ante-room into the ballroom. where the people were already unmasking. Tom Winter followed in a daze carry- ing his mask in his hand. The outlandish clown costume which he was wearing did not help him to feel nor look the less foolish. Oh, what fools everybody was- Ch:-1rlestoning around and seeming to enjoy themselves in their idiotic disguises as Napoleon, Queen Elizabeth, Santa THE GAZETTE Claus, Red Grange and numerous other celebrities. But he was the greatest fool of them all-why had he ever come to this old Bal Masque! In disgust he turned to leave-Wllat!-No!-It was too absurd! -Yet he couldn't be mistaken-that girl in red was surely Monla-but how-why-She was already close enough to im to speak. Hello, Tommy! Didn't you recognize me in this outfit? Why, what is the matter? What ever are you staring at? ' Oh, nothing-nothing! gulped Tommy, with his eyes still fastened on some object beyond. Mona turned, but saw nothing but a crowd of masqueraders. Yes, to be sure, there was Billy, Tom's absurd kid brother, grinning like a Chessy cat, holding an auburn wig in his hand, and garbed in a shimmering, pearly gown. One might know Billy would do some such thing! Who else, but Billy, could ever think of such a silly disguise! Mona turned to Tom. Yes, one might know! echoed Tom, with an illuminated expression. Let's dance, Tommy! Yes, Mona, dear, let's dance! fl Theasure Ilunt I A captain and a commodore, Were reading, one summer day, The captain was reading folk-lore, The commodore, reading a lay. II A treasure hunt is jolly fun, The commodore suddenly cried, What say we have it begin with the sun, With pennies for a prize? III Twelve merry men, three days hence, Began their merry chase: They started at the Northern gate, Each at a merry pace. IV The captain and the commodore, Hurried, side by sideg Both said they knew their feet were sore. So both agreed to ride. V Into a motorcycle they then jumped, These two merry meng And along the dusty road they bumped Until they killed a hen. VI What ho! what ho! the captain cried, Seemingly with glee, A clue is on that garden hoe, Standing against that tree. VII And when they finally got the clue, They found it read as follows: There's no fool like the old fool Who'd follow even the swallows. ' M. F., '26. Sonnet Oh, life, 'tis said, is like a rough, cruel sea That swallows with a gulp our fragile bark. E'er scarce we've left the harbor and the dark O'er takes us long before we reach a sheltered lea. They say that like a mountain high tfwill be Forbidding, sheer, unscalable and even no lark Singing and soaring in the blue will lend a spark Of hope that sometime we may reach the pinnacle. Joyous, enchanting, passionate, and free, Intinitely beautiful and yet long Before we reach the end of the great melody Loath though we be to give up the sweet song, We must faint, heavy with ecstasy. M. H., '27. The Isles of Cfraduation In the year 1922, early in September, there set sail over the Sea of Knowledge a magnificent fieet proudly bearing the colors of Blue and Gold. This fleet was headed for a far distant shore called the land of Graduation, which could only be reached after a voyage of four years over a much traveled, but to them an unknown sea. There were four isles, Freshman, Sophomore, for the Land of Wise Foolsl Junior, and Senior, for the Land of the Owlsl-to be thoroughly explored before reaching this promised land. On board the vessels, which had been re- cruited from such minor isles as Lincoln and Penn, and other ports, were one hundred and thirty pas- sengers, each firmly resolved to succeed or go down with the ship. The first port reached was Freshman Isle. Here many of those on the ship were enchanted by the charm which clung to the placeg of course they were loath to depart. The ship sailed away with- out them, and they were left behind to he taken on by some other fleet, at the cost of arriving at the Promised Land a'year later. Upon Freshman Isle the travelers met with a strange kind of people, who called themselves Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors. The Freshmen entertained them at an enjoyable dance. They also challenged the Sophomores to a game of basketball, at which they displayed great skill which helped to win the Inter-Class cup, the next year. After an enjoyable year the Freshmen took their departure for the next port, The Isle of Wise Fools. As they neared this isle they began to feel im- portant, and thought themselves very wise indeed. After landing, they found that they were no longer Freshmen, but Sophomores, much like those they had met the year before, but much wiser. Every- thing was quite different from the Freshman Isle. Part of their food was changedg they now had French and European History in place of Civics and Ancient History, but though most of them relished the change, few were heard to lament for the more easily digested fare of Freshman Isle. Here as Sophomores, they gave some dances and won the Inter-Class cup, which truly belonged to them. It was also upon this isle, that they found Caesar's bridge, which they had heard so much about. Here. to their surprise, they found some poor strangers, remnants of the preceding Sophomore class, who joined them. They rescued the poor prisoners, and then left the land of Wise Fools, and sailed on. At last Junior Isle was reached. All the voy- agers landed expecting to spend another pleasant THE GAZETTE year. In the Junior Year, under the gleaming-haired pilot. they held many dances. They gave a dance to the Seniors which was called the Junior Prom, and it proved to be the best held by any class. The year passed rapidly, and the last and most important isle, the Land of Owls, was reached early in Sep- temher. On the Land of Owls, they found unexpected pleasure in store for them. They played the best football that could be played hy students on any team, thus winning the Conference Championship. They were cheerful losers in the basketball games, considering how glorious their former victories had been. Towards the end of the year they gave a play, which displayed more of their talents. At the end of the fourth year the knowledge absorbed was so great, that they found the Senior Isle to be the stepping-off place into the vast territory of the Prom- ised Land. The stepping-off place was called Gradu- ation, and a great number of friends came together to watch them take this short journey. The Freshmen of .1922 were the Seniors of 1926, and during the long voyage, they learned to show themselves ready for any test, that would be put to them. . E- B-, '26- Hanson Field A flat turfless field, chalk-ribbed bythe yard-lines of the gridiron season, a circular track, worn down by long usage and little repair, a small grandstand. long smoke-stained bleachers, and a high enclosure of weather-blackened boards-this to some people is Hanson Field. But the athlete more than this in her it as a scene school life. Here passed through his athletic apprenticeship, long months of thankless toil with scrubs. Here he re- ported day after day for monotonous but necessary workouts. Here again, he first experienced the thrill for varsity athletics' in playing for the school. And in this environment were formed bonds of friendshipethat no time or chance can break. Do you wonder that Hanson Field is hallowed ground to the Senior athlete? He needs but sit a moment on the deserted sub bench or look down upon the old field from the railroad and before his eyes flash ghostly visions. He feels again the old thrill of the game, the inexplicable delight that comes with the clash of shoulder against shoulder. and the joy of doing his best for the schoolg he al- most senses his teammates again at his side in the eomradeship of play. But such thoughts cannot be explained. To understand them one must have toiled through weary practice periods, have given his best in game or meet, and have seen the High School flag just a bit more glorious because of his and his teammates' efforts. However, for this year's graduate, the High School athletic career is ended. He has done what little he can for Old High and must now pass the baton to those following him. But the scene of so many hours of his school life will not be easily for- gotten. Perhaps the graduate will have other years of athletics in preparatory school or college. Per- haps he will have greater experiences later in life. graduating in '26 will see much Hanson Field. He will remem- of the best experiences of his as a Freshie or Sophomore he 54 But no person from the class of '26 will ever forget the days when as a kid athlete he played for his school on old Hanson Field.

Farewell to thee, farewell to thee! Dear High School, in our hearts we'll ever hold Those years we've passed with thee, From care and sorrow free, With all their joys and pleasures, manifold. II But, as we travel o'er life's rolling main And the dark waves around us seeth and churn, Oft' with grateful, glad relief from care, Our memories to thy happy days will turn. Farewell to thee, farewell to thee! Dear High School, in our hearts we'll ever hold Those years we've passed with thee, From care and sorrow free, With all their joys and pleasures, manifold. L. A., '26. Pins A Small Boys Version of Pins Pins???? Why sure, I know what pins areg why they are as common as trees and houses and dirt-Oh, most anything like that. Everyone knows about pins! Everyone has them! Well, let me see,-to tell the truth I never thought about how many kinds of pins there are,-um, um7-com- mon pins, and safety pins, and hat pins, andiclothes pins-and-and-beauty pins-scarf pins.-hair pins - frat pins-rolling pins-Gosh, there's lot's of them, isn't there? I can't think of any moreg there ought to be lot's more though. What would we do without pins? That's a silly question! Why, we have always had pins-at least as far as I can re- member-that's right, I don't suppose the cave man did have a pin. Oh, well, he didn't need it any way. I read once in our History book that he just used a piece of tree or something like that to keep his clothes together. Gee, I bet he used to wish he had a safety pin when he had to hunt for a sharp stick or a thorn, I guess the History called it. What do you suppose our dressmaker would do without common pins? Why she'd never get Sis' dresses fixed in a thousand years. She uses almost a thou- sand pins to get the hems and tucks in straigllt. A safety pin sure is a good scout. Wl1y', when mother goes away and there's nobody to sew on our but- tons the safety pin is my best friend. You know Sis just hates to sew on buttons and then she's al- ways busy-so she says-but I don't see her doing anything. Say that reminds me, I just wonder what Sis would do if she didn't have a beauty pin or a good -luck pin to stick on somewhere. She'd have an awful time. Once my Aunt sent me a stick pin but I never wore it 'cause Dick never wore his. But what do you think, the other day Sis had it on at school. Well, it was my pin so I told her it was and that I wanted it. She didn't give it to me then but when I got home-I sure got the pin and something else. Sis told Mother she had been dis- THE GA ZETTE graced and all such stuff-Well, the only thing I wish is that I never had the old pin. Ted! what do you suppose Maggie would ever do if she didn't have rolling pins 'cause I bet there wouldn't be any ,liggs and that is what I like best in the funnies. Why-Xvliy, Ted, we couldn't ever have pies or any- thing like that without a rolling pin 'cause Mother has to have one to make them. I bet the cave man missed lots of good things to eat 'cause he didn't have one. Gee, thereis just pins and pins and pins!!!-but I'm glad we have pins even if some do cause a lot of trouble. ' C. A. M., '26. My New Shakespeare Like the average High School student, I always knew that William Shakespeare was the greatest dramatist that ever lived. I also dare say, like the average student, I didn't appreciate the real art and beauty which are found in his plays. On reading his dramas, I got the theme of the story, but not the finer characteristics which have enabled his playsto surpass all other like attempts of mankind. But now his plays stand in a new light. I now see them through different eyes. All this has been brought about by the study of Macbeth in Senior English, under the careful direction of our well known En- glish teacher, I was like a racing fan admiring the racer of the great. Tommy Milton by looking only at the out- side of the hood. .lust as it is necessary to lift the hood and examine closely each part and learn its functions, before we can really appreciate the fine mechanism of the engine, so it is necessary to analyze closely each character of the play, not from the out- side, but from the mind, before we can really ap- preciate the work of that great genius, Shakespeare, who treats both comedies and tragedies with the same skill. By studying his character, we can see in them our qualities, both good and bad, for they are like mirrors in which we are sized up and reiiected as others see us. Although his characters were created centuries ago, they still typify the man and woman of today, both in their thoughts and actions. They have stood the test of time and will continue to exemplify man and woman as they really are. Not only do his dramas reveal to us our weak- ness, but they also give us inspiration to overcome them. This is the true test of literature. for if a book does not give us an incentive to become a better man, that book isn't worth reading. Every Shakespearian play that we read adds to our mental growth and enables us to get more out of the things we read. M. S., '26. Dog Friendship The dog is one of the very best and most intelli- gent of animals that man holds in possession. He is the only true friend that man can claim. The dog more than any other animal has done more for the sake of humanity. Of all the animals I know the one that would be the hardest to give up and do without is man's hest friend, the dog. Let me take you with me to the city of Nome, Alaska, when that dreadful epidemic of diphtheria was raging. Great numbers of people died every day. The government of the United States tried all ways to get Antitoxin to the dying victimsg all failed save one, and that one was a brave man with a faithful dog team of Alaskan Huskies. The team that performed this great 'deed is proclaimed the world's greatest dog team. This team took the remedy twelve hundred miles over the land of ice and snow, through all kinds of weather and saved hundreds of lives. If it ltad not been for these dogs, faithful unto death, perhaps the entire population of Nome, Alaska, would have been wiped out. In a like manner the great St. Bernards of Switzerland saved thousands of lives in the Alps Mountains. One St. Bernard that was owned by a Catholic priest saved one hundred and ninety-three lives, and the very next one he attempted to save misjudged the dog and without stopping to think he killed the dog hero. In the World War the dog played a very im- portant part. You may ask your soldier friends who were eye witnesses if they played their part well. As I write this I cannot help but think of a poem I once read. The author of this poem I do not know, but I do know he must have been a dog lover. This poem which I think is the best one I have ever seen that was written for the sake of the dogg the poem is entitled, Only a Dog. HONLY A Doc I 'Tve never known a dog to show Half way devotion to his friend, To seek a kinder man to know Or richer, but unto the end, The humblest dog I ever knew ' Was to the man who loved him, true. II But I have known a dog to fight ' With all his strength to shield a friend, And whether wrong or whether right, To stick with him unto the end. And I have known a dog to lick The hands of him that men would kick. ' ' III The dog is listed with the dumb, No voice has he to speak his creed, His messages to humans come I By faithful conduct and by deed, He shows as seldom mortals do, A high ideal of being true. R. M., '27. ' 'sl ,,.A THE GAZETTE Old Tom . A cold driving rain beat upon old Tom as he doggedly made his way along the muddy wagon road. Ragged wisps of fog whirled and twisted around the bushy mountain tops, and the hollow roar of Lick Run added to the atmosphere of the December day. The 'old saw mill was reached at last. and Tom sat in the lee of a skid of logs to smoke his pipe and plan the hunt he intended to make. He talked and muttered to himself at a great rate. growing angry as he went on with his thoughts. Yes, he'd show that crowd back at camp a thing or two, the white livered dudes. sitting around the fire, afraid of a little rain. They had laughed at him when he started, jokingly offered to carry in any game he shot. Reckon I'll cross the hollow here, he said, and then I'll work along the bench, over the run as far as the lower point, then over Shide Hollow to Mud Lick and then over to the Colden Rod Camp. But I won't have to go that far because I'll get a buck or maybe a bear on that bench. Accordingly he knocked the dottle from his pipe and plunged into the hollow to his chosen bench. Two miles away another old timer was slowly making his way along the bench-a shaggy black bear, huge in frame, heavy fur, but gaunt for that time of year. Somehow or other the berries had been hard to get that fall. He should have been fat by that time, ready to go into winter quarters for the long sleep he so much desired. He was looking for a place to sleep during the winter, be- fore the snow became too deep. The wind grew stronger, whirling the snow in strange curls and streaks through the draws and hol- lows. Then came a blast in the storm, and Tom scrambled over some windfalls to the edge of the steep side hill. He could not see the opposite ridge, so he turned and started to make his way back to the bench. . They saw each other at the same time. The bear growled and started to advance half rising to his hind legs. Tom swung his rifie to his shoulder, fired full at the furry chest. The heavy .35 Win- chester roared. The bear jerked to the impact of the powerful bullet. Twice more the rifle sounded, shaking the huge bear with its messengers of death. Then a heavy paw swung with the speed of light, the rifle flew to one side, old Tom crushed and bleeding, whirled over and over, crashing down the hillside. The next moment, a thud against a tree, and old Tom's face down in the snow and leaves remained motionless. The old bear swayed in his tracks. gradually sinking to all fours. The three bullets had done their work. He trembled for a moment at the crest of the slope then went rolling and plunging down the hill to come to rest beside old Tom. The two old timers had gone to their eternal resting place. H. P., 26. Why the Daisy Hides Her Gold at Night The quiet pond daisy lived among her sister flowers, the Golden Rod and others. The Daisy al- lowed her gold to be exposed at night as well as in the daytime. This had occurred for many years until Loci, the God of Mischief, decided to. get this gold. A plot was formed by him and several ogres and dwarfs. Down in the dark damp caves he lived until the time came for the stealing of the Daisy's gold. Loci had noticed that the Daisy did not hide her gold at night, so he decided to rob it, late at night or at dawn. He, that night, with his ogres, stole around the hills and glens to the place where the beautiful Daisy lay asleep with drooping head. He moved cautiously until he came within a foot of the flower, when suddenly a thunder bolt was launched from the hammers of Thor. The ruler of men and Gods had seen Loci trying to steal the Daisyis gold and had ordered Thor to kill Loci, but Thor's aim was poor. 'Tis true he killed one of the ogres but not Loci for whom the bolt was intended. The thunder bolt awakened Daisy, and frightened Loci so badly that he ran away to his caves in the underworld. After that the Daisy was allowed to hide her gold from all thieves such as Loci. ANDREW BROWN, Eighth Grade.

THE G A Z E T T IC The Ideal Freshman Some of our dignified Seniors have the wrong impression of a Freshman. The ideal Freshman is just the fellow we need in our High School. What I mean by an ideal Freshman is a fellow who is good in his studies and who takes part in the school's activities. - When football season opens the plucky little Freshie goes out for the team. They use him for tackling practice and if he has enough courage they put him on the third team. Here he is bumped and knocked about by the big Seniors who tackle him hard regardless of his size, but still he sticks. Football is over and track starts. The Ideal Freshie thinks it over and decides to try track. At first he white washes the lines and next he shines the fellows' shoes, but some day he will be the track man and another Freshie will take his place. R. F., '29. Finger Nails We live by our minds not by things like clawsg and as we have not sufficient use for them they have grown smaller and weaker, just as our teeth, our bones, and our muscles in a large degree. Our finger nails have evolved with timeg until at the present day we have little use for them. But do we? When an ,insect has bitten us we use them to scratch with and they enable us to grasp objects better and to pick them up. Cats use them for fighting and climbing, and don't we often do the same? What would some of the large manufacur- ers do if they had no demand for nail polishes, nail files, and other manicuring necessities? We would be without the manicurist of whom we read and hear so much, and hundreds of people, who engage in studying whether the general trend for the next season will be long triangular-sltaped nails or round short ones, would be left with nothing to do. Think of the time that we spend every day on finger nails, that could be spent doing something else. The question is, would it be as profitable? We read the character of a person by the shape and form of his nails. In this way we can determine whether we are speaking to a teacher, dentist, crook, murderer. lawyer or a doctor. Yes, our finger nails are as use- ful as our heads, if we use them correctly. , A. M. Y., '26, Moods Have you ever seen anyone sitting in school day- dreaming? It seems that on some days we can do nothing but sit and dream: dream of some favorite trout stream or perhaps some' old swimming hole. It is usually when we are in this pleasant mood that the teacher suddenly bellows out our name, and shatters all our dreams. Doesn't that name from the teacher's shrill voice give us a funny feel- ing in our heads? At first we don't know exactly what to do. but then when one of the kind and helpful pupils nearby whispers what the teacher wants, we change our facial expressions altogether and pretend we know all about the subject. Aren't we students really the biggest bluffers on earth? Yes, yes, it is nice to he in this day-dreaming mood. Were you ever inspired on your way to school by a crisp, beautiful morning? When we go to school the sun is still low in the east and it sends tiny rays of silvery sunshine everywhere. lsn't the world beautiful at this time? This sunshine seems to penetrate our bodies filling us full of happinessg it makes us think that we ought to do something in the world and we go to school in a studious mood, alert and eager to learn. Are you a uhappy go lucky person? Most of us are although we do not realize that it makes us careless. When we are in this happy go lucky mood, we care not whether we have our work done or undone. If we do our lessons, we do them with- out much interest, if we don't do them, we do not worry. Of 'course we know this to be a bad trait but we probably tell ourselves that this happy go lucky mood will disappear when we become older and more serious. Stop now and thinkg aren't you sometimes mild- ly cynical? Of course you are because we have all been cynical at times but we should make this one of our rare moods and always try to wear a smile instead of being grouchy. We have perhaps many more moods, some which better us and some that do the opposite. The big question is: Can you control your moods? Of course you can, everyone of us can. Why not change our gloomy moods into one full of sunshine? It will do you and the world a lot of good. R. P., 26.

THE GAZETTE I Bred in the Bones ' ' A Russian Tale I The only light in the room came from a tiny narrow slit in the wall, and the only thing that lay outside that wall was another wall, three feet away, on which the only sign of life was an almost dead vine left clinging to the rough stones. It was an ill-smelling, dark room where lay a dying woman and baby. Such was the home of Ivan Karanoff, son of a leader in the revolutiong the father was said to be dead-killed in keeping the hungry mob from the Czar's great home. We must not believe that this was all Ivan had, for it wasn't: he had in- herited from his father courage and honesty, from his mother a kind and gentle nature. He had, too, a curly dog which he held in his stiff arms and around which he held his thin ragged cloak. His eyes rested on the vine where but two leaves re- mained. Yesterday there had been five. What should he do for food for his mother? What could he do? A piteous voice from the pallet roused him. Ivan, dear, run to the bakers for fresh bread. Our servants are so forgetful. Now don't forget your warm fur coat and mittens. How could he tell her there were no servants, nor money, nor coat? My mother. there is no bread to be bought even if we had moneyf' Silence, soon -the mother, roused a little, reminded him: You still have the curly dog. He must be sold! A starv- ing child and dog are worse than a child without a dog. Go-sell him! So Ivan, his heart heavy, wrapped his coat more closely about him and, taking the dog, hastened out into the street with the courage that was bred in his bones. II As he walked along the street of the frozen town, he tried to sell the dog to each passerby. However, each person he asked turned from him saying that he had too much to do to feed himself during the famine. Block after block little Ivan walked until he came to the doors of the St. Petersburg cathedral. At the foot of the Virgin he knelt, praying that food and assistance be sentg he also prayed in his inmost heart that the puppy would not have to be sold. He was becoming drowsy, he was sinking down and down into a soft feather bed. He was in a lovely villa where the sun shone and roses hloomed. He had fine soft clothes and what was more, the curly puppy with a big bow on his neck. His mother and little brother were there too. All was gay and happy. , III It was twilight. A little girl in a white fur coat and carrying a basket came down the street with her mother who also was dressed in furs. As they hurried along a tiny dog barked at their heels. A 5011, mother! said the child, there's a dog just like I've wanted. I wonder if his owner would sell him? In vain the puppy jumped about them, running often toward the cathedral. Finally the mother re- marked: That dog is trying to show us something --come Katherine, we must see what he wants. They followed the dog until they reached the cathe- dral doors. No light shown forthg no person was in sight, what could the little dog have meant? Surely he had' his directions confused. Katherine noticed a dark spot in the snowdrift at the foot of the statue of the virgin. She hurried to it, kneel- ing, she saw a hand stiffened with cold-she saw a boy. Mother, she cried, here's a boy, most frozen to death. Quickly, dear, open the bottle of wine you were carrying to your uncle. Rub his hands and body while I try to make him drink thisf, For some time they worked over the apparently lifeless body. No move on the part of the patient rewarded them. IV The world was whirling. His garden was he- coming lifeless. Cold winds pierced his fine gar- ments, tearing them. Snow was falling everywhere. He was aloneg no, two angels were bending over him. He was struggling to reach the villa. The villa was gone! In its place was a tower- ing wallg in his mother's place was the virging in the garden's place was now-drifted snow-falling snow-cold, cold, cold. The angels bending over him were asking his name and where he lived. Ivan K---. Ivan Karanoff--I live, ma'am, 62 R-1 Street. Men carried him home. Again he was among the roses-asleep. V Upon reaching the miserable home of the Kara- noff family, Katherine and Madam Ivanoff entered the cold room. When their eyes were accustomed to the dark, they saw a woman, closing and moan- ing on a pallet near the window. Madam Ivanoff lit a candle, took open her basket and went to the sufferer. My goodness. Katherine, she exclaimed when she saw the woman's face, it is Anna, my friend at the university. We must get her away from here so she can get well. Then calling to the men, wait- ing outside, she said: Order a cart to be brought here so I can move this woman. Someof you come and help me. No more need be said than that Ivan, his mother, brother and curly dog are among roses-only they are real roses this time, for because of the bravery and love for his mother that was bred in the bones of Ivan Karanoff, the tiny dot and the family are alive and among the roses today.

DEPARTMENT Lock I-lcwcn's Technical High School Many students of the Lock Haven High School as well as the Lock Haven people do not understand the scope of the work done in the Lock Haven Technical High School. The technical schools of today are among the outstanding schools of the country. They are pre- paring more young men for their jobs and problems of life than any other schools. Boys taking this course alternate between going to school a specific time, and working in some in- dustrial plant at their trade an equal amount of time. This enables the boys to see the value of an education, and they work much harder while in school so they can get more out of it. The studies in this course are similar to those of a High School, but are taught in a technical way. The drawing taught in a technical school prepares the students to draw and read blue prints of any part of various kinds of machinery, while that of a High School prepares for arts and decorating. The drawing in a technical course is one of the most important studies being much more important to a technical student, than the drawing of a High School is to the average High School student. All the studies of a Technical High School are essential and require careful preparation. The Technical course enables many boys to work their way through school. Boys who have no chance whatever for an education except for this course are working their way through school getting an education and receiving knowledge of a trade. The boys taking this course End it hard to par- ticipate in the activities of the High School on ac- count of alternating, but in spite of this drawback, we find boys taking part in the various sports at the High School, on the Glee Club, Orchestra, Press Club and the GAZETTE Staff. The pay received by the boys in an Industrial school varies, according' to their ability to work and their knowledge of their trade. As the boys increase in knowledge, their pay increases. The trade the boys work at also governs their pay. The Lock Haven Technical School is among the more prominent ones in the state. It is the smallest one in body but the largest in the field of trade offering. lt has been complimented many times by the larger schools of its kind. This school gives the boys a chance on any trade they prefer, while the larger ones have a limited supply of trades to offer to the boys. The Freshman year of an industrial course is called full-timei, trade, since the boys in this class are in school the entire school term. Under the guidance of an instructor these boys make a variety of interesting things that are not only useful them- selves but train the student in accuracy and trade knowledge. These boys keep the bleachers in re- pair, make and repair various other objects used in footballiand track, make cabinets, book cabinets for the grade school and repair many objects for their homes and neighbors. The studies covered by the boys in the Freshman Class are English, Industrial Arithmetic, Mechanical Drawing, Civics and Trade Theory. The second year or the Sophomore year is the first year the boys start alternating at their trades. They go to school a specified time in which they are required to study Industrial Arithmetic, Fcglish, Geography, History and Trade Theory aft.. which I THE GAZETTE they go out and work at their trade an equal amount of time. The studies required of the Junior and Senior students are: Business English, Mechanical Draw- ing, Geometry, Chemistry and Trade Theory. These studies are taught to the students so they can be made useful and helpful to their trades. The Lock Haven Technical School's first gradu- ating class was in 1922, there being four graduates. In 1923 there were five graduates and 1924 there were nine. We find several of these graduates al- ready in business for themselves while others are managing certain companies. Thus far the Lock Haven Technical Higha School has been a remarkable success. Much of its suc- cess is due to the co-operation of the business men who have shown such a splendid attitude toward the schools. S. E. REMICK, Industrial Editor. Why Not Have Marathon Bicycle Riding As a High School Sport? For general all-around health-making, invigorat- ing, stimulating, muscle-building, lung-expanding, leg-developing, tisue-strengthening exercise, com- mend me to the sturdy instrument of self-locomo- tion of our fathers-the bicycle. That is about as broad a statement as a fellow can put in a single paragraph. Fortunately I can make the recommenda- tion advisedly, for exercising for health's sake has been a hobby, and a pastime of mine for the last few years. But some of us are prone to be lazy. The trouble is, as we take on the years we are more and more inclined to take on the fat that Father Time is very willing to slip us. Again, a lot of us are willing to do a certain amount of exercise if somebody will come along and show us how it may be done in a swivel chair, and get a lot of fun out of it while we're at it. The first thing we Sil0l1ld think of and the last thing to receive our attention is the bicycle. There which combines such exhilarating pleasure. is no other form of exercise splendid exercise with such The circulation improves wonderfully, deep full breathing comes naturally, the pulse quickens joy- fully, and the blood courses happily and becomes purified. Swimming is an exercise that's as firmly fixed as a great stimulating exercise as any single sport I know of. But some more to be mentioned that are highly important, are rowing, boxing, jumping-rope, hiking, throwing the javelin, hammer-throwing, run- ning marathons, pole-vaulting, and high-jumping. But you have to do a little of each to get a balanced exercise, and that takes time, energy, and above all, unfaltering determination, The muscles used in all these and other sports are probably used when you ride a bicycle. Q All forms of body and brain exercise, I believe, are found in that ancient and still noble steed, the bicycle. You need no special long continued pre- liminaries before you become proficient in the art of pedaling. There is no cost, no set rules for con- quering girth controlg just a daily hardening of the muscles and broadening of the chest. Knute Rockne, physical director at the Univer- sity of Notre Dame, writes, Here at the University we have one hundred and twenty-five boys up to fif- teen years, every one of whom owns and rides a bicycle and every one of whom is in wonderful health, and in hue physical trim. Q That statement of facts needs no elaboration. I. B., '27. Better Machinery in the Shop The need of better machinery is clearly pointed out to any boy taking the shop course When the present machines were installed, they were in per- fect condition, the best machines available and were all that the boys of that time could require. But due to hard usage the machines are now badly in need of repairs Also due to the rapid ad- vance of the boys in the making of patterns, models, and other articles, the present machinery is inade- quate, as the course now requires bigger, better and more efficient machinery in the shop. , EDWARD Mvrzas How Machines Help the Industrial Pupils If machines were not available, the Industrial pupils could not get one-third the education that they get by using machinery. The lathe, planer and band saw are among the wood workers best friends. If it were not for the lathe they could not make round pedestals, floor lamps or anything that had to be turned down. Without the planer and band saw the pupils would have to spend much time planing with a hand plane and then might not have it accurate. In sawing it takes about five times as long to do it by hand as it does with a band saw. In the auto department the pupils would be com- pletely lost without the steel lathe, electric drill, hydraulic press, vulcanizer and emery wheel. With- out the lathe they could not turn down any steel T'HE GAZETTE objects. The electric drill enables them to drill things more quickly and accurately. The' hydraulic press helps them to press 05 gears that they could never get off any other way. If they did not have the vulcanizer, they could not learn vulcanizing. Last of all is the emery wheel which both auto and wood-working departments use. for keeping their tools in trim. I. M., '28. Days to Be Remembered Out of the Shop ls there anygraduate of a high school or college that does not remember the happy days spent in school? Not many. When two old college chums meet, they generally have a little chat pertaining to dear old school days. This also holds true to any shop boy. As a fresh- man he starts his course and perhaps he will not like this first year, but as he advances in his classes the shop becomes more of a home to him. He can look back several years and picture him- self in Mr. Barrickis Mathematics class. Perhaps he may not have his lesson prepared, or his night work finished. and he knows what will happen af- terwards, for Mr. Barrick has been known to hold after-school sessions. But after all he finally realizes that these special sessions are for his benefit. Then he may picture himself in Mr. KHECllI,S English Class with a book report due and he has not read a book for several months. Then when called upon he will get up and give the story of Captain Bloodf' which he has seen in the movies several nights be- fore. When Mr. Knecht says all right, he thinks he has fooled him and is happy but when reports come around, he is wondering why he received an NI instead of a HG . Then after graduation he has taken up his life's work, he will meet and converse with other members of his classes as to the good times he had while in school. If you wish to quit school, just go to a shop boy, who has had part time work and ask him which he preferred to do, quit school and work or continue to go to school. He will always, if a true student, answer in favor of the latter. This year we bid farewell to the shop graduates of '26 and wish them success in their life's work. C. K. S., '27. Value of An Industrial School Each boy has some ability to learn a trade which he will use sooner or later. A boy going to an in- dustrial school can accomplish a great deal in a trade which he thinks may suit him best. The pres- ent age is a great industrial age which requires ex- perts as electrical engineers, mechanics, machinists, aviators, draftsmen, carpenters and general contrac- tors. The man who is required to dig ditches and labor in the brick yards is the man who did not get the chance to secure a high school education or did not make use of it when he did have it. Do not be one of these men. Stay in high school and take an in- dustrial course. When you have successfully finished your iirst year in this course, you work at some de- sirable trade two weeks out of each month the other two being spent in school. In this manner you may secure sufficient money to finish your schooling and also give yourself a start in the great industrial world. ' CAL.

For the first time in the history of the school a school orchestra plays for a dance. The dance, held by the orches- tra, was a most successful affair. 1 HALL ACHEN BACH llall is one of those noisy yet diligent fellows we hear so much about. He has taken an active part in dramatic work this last year and we wish him just as much success on the stage of life. LOUISE ARMSTRONG lslere is our honor student. standing fourth in the class. She is bound for Wellesley where she will prepare for teaching. MAX BOSSERT Max surely can play football and basketballg mostly anything. but when it comes to dancing-he says he simply can't undo the knots around that part of the body called feet. ELOISE BRUNGARD Here is one of the best natured girls in our classg and for all that, she is an honor student in almost everything. MAU DE CALDVVELL I want to be a teacher, is her favorite saying, but we do know she won't be 'Kan old maid. KERM IT CLASTER Here is a boy who possesses a vocabulary worthy of Samuel Johnson himself, fsince most of his say- ings come from Johnson's worksi but Kermit can talk and write we'll admit. He also made the de- bating team and was an editor for the Hi-News. MARGARET COIRA It would be easier to tell something that Mar- garet couldn't do instead of what she has done. Be- sides being on the GAZETTE Staff she has taken an interest, in Hi-News and in fact everything worth taking an interest in. Margaret hasn't decided on her future career as yet, but hereis hoping she leaves something for the rest of us. BURTON CONFER Burton has only spent one year with us but in that time he has established a line standing in scholarship. We only regret that he didn't come to Lock Haven earlier, LEWIS GAGE Every class so far in the history of L. H. H. S. has its hookworm and here is ours. What Lewis hasn't read isn't worth reading, whether it be mod- ern or ancient. .lust the same we want him to con- tinue this habitg for who would tear the pages apart in some of those new books if he wouldnit? LINETTA GRIER All Hail! to our Editor-in-Chief. She began her career with the class when she was elected Secretary- Treasurer of the class in 1923. From then until now she has charged ahead, taking part in dra- matics, the Hikers' Club and the Press Club. She is going to Normal next year to be school marim. RISHEL KARACHNER Our class will be able to supply the world with teachers for that is what our president intends to do also, besides being President, of the United States. Rishel is a good natured fellow and takes pride in doing all he can for his class. HAROLD KLINE Meet the Valedictorian of the class! Not only that, but he is going to be a minister. There is hardly any use in wishing him success, because he is certain of thatg but, the class is surely proud to have him as a member. .-its--my-q 4 l x i 1 ' -.-.s..-s. . , J THE GAZETTE ESTHER SMITH We wonder who is going to take Miss Crance's place directing singing in Chapel when she is ab- sent, after Esther leaves.

SARAH WVAINGER The smallest girl in the class, yet the biggest as far as scholarship is concerned. But size doesnit count in the least, Sarah has been editor of Hi- News and is on the CAzE'I'1'E Staff where W-o-r-k spells her favorite word. EDYVARD I-IOBERMAN , , The best natured, all-around good fellow in the school, is our opinion of Edward. YVILFORD LAW' Bashful? Yes, a little. But Wilford is indeed well known around school. He writes occasionally for Hi-News, is a member of the GAZETTE Staff where he has been kept busy getting ads, and can play a saxophone worthy of commanding anyone's attention. LULA PALMER The flower of the class, is the only way we can pay a tribute to Lula. ' RICHARD PARSONS Dick is a member of the Press Club, President of the Dramatic Club, where he has done unusu- ally fine work. and is on the GAZEITE Staff. We don't know whether he is fond of work but we do know that he does a lot of it, especially on the foot- ball iield this year. RUSSELL BURD - Russell may be a bit backward around the fair sex but when it comes to track and football well, he forgets everything else, and surely Joes break rec- ords. - MARGUERITE FISHBURNE She wants to be an accompanist and if talent is he only thing necessary, she surely will be one. ut Marguerite possesses a few more qualities, which e pleasing, besides that one. FAY GRIEB Here is a girl who places determination, scholar- s 'p, and friends above everything! Once you know he! , you like her. 66 l .Lets As-, scccc nmmssscccsscccccc -cc BERNICE HEBERLING We want Bunnie to feel that although sorrows may come and dreams may vanish, the class of '26 will always remain with her, in whatever she pro- poses to take up. GERTRUDE O'DAY Men may come and men may go but I go on forever, says Gertie. and she is about right. Gertie has taken a very decided interest in Hi-News act- ing as one of the editors, and is a member of the Choral Club and Dramatics.Club. MARGARET -DIACK Margaret is the treasure of the class, and is an- other of our honor students. She was in the class play, last year and again this year, where she did fine work. Bill Hoffman was unanimously elected captain of the football team for '26. It seems Bill is be- coming very popular of late, especially with the ladies. A certain little Junior in our class has suddenly taken it upon himself to grow up. By made his debut in The Whole Town's Talking. Still at the helm of the Juniors, is Jimmy Smith. Because the whole town was talking we heard of such people as Mary Wynne Phoebe Mader, Clara Miller, Sebastian Grieco, Nellie Bowmaster, Sara Moyer, and Harold Robb. There are a number of Junior boys who have been quite successful in track this season. Among them are John Rearick, Richard Miller, Byron Mc- Closkey and William Hoffman. The orchestra, too, claims some of our students. They are Leo Caprio, Conley Hayes, George Kling- berg and Calvin Snyder. It must be admitted that our class has some very able officers in Louise Agar, Vice Presidentg Martha Bittner, Secretary, and Ruth Grier as Trea- surer. CEditor's Notel-On account of the insignifi- cance of the heading Gossippe and of the attitude of some students towards having their names men- tioned under it, we have found it necessary to change the Cossippe department to the Hall of Fame. kk i 'V 3 I 1 pe its me C ' vi S D ORT Foreword Again this year Lock. Haven ranked very high in Athletics. Our accomplishments on the gridiron, in basketball and on the track are probably more remarkable than any other High School in the state can boast. Although a large number of the players on last yearis State Championship football team graduated, High produced a team that gained National Scholastic honors by defeating Englewood High School of Chicago 13-0, after winning the Western Conference Title for the fourth consecutive time. The Basketball season this year in contrast to the great football season was very unsuccessful due to a lack of material, a late start and several other vital reasons. This spring it seems that track has again come into its own at Lock Haven and with the scalps of Jersey Shore and the Bucknell Frosh we can look forward to a very good season. At the time of this writing there are yet meets at Carnegie Tech, University of Pitts- burg, Altoona and Reading.

Hopkins Cup Last year, Donald Hopkins, one of the High School's loyal supporters, presented the school with a beautiful twenty-one inch silver cup on which is the inscription, 4'Awarded in Recognition of the Finest Spirit of Sports- manship on the Football Field and in School Life. Last year Walter Levine's name was engraved on the cup in recognition of his sportsmanship. This year the committee chose William Hoffman for the honor. Bill played guard on the championship football team and is a star track man, being an excellent hammer thrower and shot putter. In addition, the letter men of the football team recently elected Bill football captain for next season. Congratulations, Bill! p L. H. G., '26. Captain-Elect Hoffman At a meeting of the letter men of the last year's champion- ship football squad, Bill Hoffman was chosen to pilot next yearis team. Bill's election was only just and is regarded by the stu- dents as the only fitting remuneration that could he given Bill for his all-around good work, for in addition to the fact that Bill is one of the best football guards in the country, he is also one of the best track men. Bill also stands high in his studies and in recognition of his good sportsmanship he was chosen by a com- mittee of High supporters to have his name engraved on the Don- ald S. Hopkins cup. We earnestly hope that Bill has all kinds of luck in piloting a championship football squad in the year to come. I.. H. G., '26. The Football Season at ci Glance Last Autumn Lock Haven High was indeed fortunate in attaining such singular success on the gridiron that the record of no scho- lastic football team in the country could be compared with ours. Starting the season with but few veterans in the lineup, few fans had the hope of a good season, but now it is well-known history to us how the team, after a slow start, began to defeat all oppo- nents by the score of fifty or more, until it won the Western Conference Championship for the fourth consecutive time and then gained National honors by defeating Engle- wood. Lock Haven has always been a cham- pion but last yearis achievements have no parallel in the history of a school. So, Hail to the Football men, they were real cham- pions. . L. H. G., '26. THE GAZITTTE Boys' Basketball, IQ26 Coach-S. W. Wolfe Captain-Walter Levine, '26 The year of 1926 was about the most unsuccessful basketball season High has experienced for several years. There were several contributing causes for the poor showing that we made on the basketball court this winter. In the first place we got a very poor start because of the fact that the long football schedule with its post-season game delayed the start of basketball practice until almost the date of our first scheduled game. In the second place the team and the coach were both handicapped by a lack of ma- terial and also because several of the letter men of last year's team had graduated. Even though we lost by far the majority of our games, in spite of the many handi- caps and despite the fact that a jinx seemed to pursue the team, Coach Wolfe pro- duced a scrappy, fighting team that began to display a real brand of basketball just before the season came to a close. This year we entered the Central Pennsylvania lnterscholastic League, acknowl- edged to be the fastest and strongest High school circuit in the state. In this league composed of Harrisburg Tech, Reading, York, Lancaster, Williamsport, Steelton, Sunbury, Gettysburg, Lebanon and Lock Haven, we finished in the cellar three full games behind the next team. One who deserves a large amount of credit for his sportsmanship and excellent record on the court is Captain 'iBull Levine, who was undoubtedly the outstanding star of last season's team. Bull was one of the high poi11t scorers in the league although he played on a losing team. Staiman, Smith, Pursley, Bossert, Harvey, Rearick and Young all deserve a lot of credit for their excellent playing and for the fact they stuck in the games and gave all they had to win even though all the odds seemed against them. 5 r Perhaps Lock Haven is too accustomed to winning teams to give the basketball boys all the credit they deserve, but we must remember that the teams we support can not always win and we must be ready to accept our defeats graciously, for at least we can be gratified by knowing that the fellows that made, up the basketball team were real sports. Those who earned their letters in basketball this season are. Captain 'iBull Levine, Hi Pursley, Dick Smith, Ralph Harvey, Mart Staiman, Max Bossert, Dick Parsons, Rearick and Young.

S.-- 71 Basketball Squad 'Track Squad 72 W THE GAZETTE T The Track Season, IQ26 This year the track squad has given every indication of winning as malty honors as last year's championship squad. ,Last year Lock Haven supported a team that won every track meet they entered by a wide margin, winning first places at Carnegie Tech, University of Pittsburgh, Penn State and Reading. This year a track schedule has been arrranged that might rival that of any prep school or college freshman team for its severity. Those that form this year's squad are Captain Burd, Hoffman, Kline, Slopey, McCloskey, Jerles, Cook, Stevens, Harmon, Hickoff and Brown. The first meet in which any of the team participated was a scholastic meet held at Ohio State. Coach Wolfe, Hoffman, Burd and Slopey made the trip where all showed exceptionally well. Although we took no firsts, each fellow brought home a medal. Hoffman placed third in the shot, Slopey came in second in the hurdles and Burd placed third in the pole vault. Lock Haven was the only Eastern team that competed and with only three entrants we made a much more creditable showing than many W6SlC1'Il teams. The following week in the iirst track meet at home we met the strong Bucknell Freshman team. The meet was very closely contested throughout, Lock Haven win- ning 661.fQ points to Bucknell's 5015. Due to some mistake of the officials the hammer throw was ruled out, which probably meant a nine point loss to Lock Haven, for undoubtedly our trio of hammer slingers would have cleaned up all three places. The meet clearly showed that while Bucknell had a slight edge on the running events Lock Haven was far superior in the field events which seem to be our strongest asset. Slopey was high scorer, having 23 points, Captain Burd followed with 13 points, while Hoffman had 11 points. After making such an excellent showing in our early track meets it seems that we should certainly show well in other meets and perhaps win some beautiful cups for the trophy case. . , At the time this article goes to print we are entered in the following meets which we hope to win: The Carnegie Tech Meet, the meet at Pitt, and the Reading and Altoona Meets. L. H. G., '26. f- .1 I 0 V I l The Rifle Club The Rilie Club has had little occasion to show its ability since it gut El rather late start. But judging from the scores turned in. a number of sltarpshonters have been discovered and a group of promising proteges remain to be developed. These boys carry on their work in a rather quiet. unassuming way preparing themselves by faithful practice for recognition that is sure to come.

Coach Stewart during his five years at Massilon, has produced winning teams in football, basketball and track for Washington High and won fame himself as one of the best coaches in 0hio. Next fall when Coach Stewart takes charge of athletics at Lock Haven High we expect that our teams will be of the same high calibre as those of previous years and we hope that our rec- ord will surpass that of any preceding year. The entire student body and the whole town will stand back of Coach Stewart and hope that as head coach next year he will continue to uphold the winning traditions of the school by turn- ing out champions in football, basketball and track. Q L. H. C., '26, Student Managers - Two boys who deserve much credit for their part in our ath- letic program are Clyde and Franklin Shuey. These brothers have, during the past year, been making the student management of the High School's athletics a family affair, Clyde being student manager, and Frank assistant student manager. Their positions are about the most monotonous and thankless that could be found around the High School. The student man- ager's duties range from the care of equipment, to the marking of the field in times of track meets or football games, and there is no vacation for him throughout the school year. Hardly has football season ended, before basketball takes up all the man- ager's time, until track season opens in the early spring. To make his life still more miserable he is the object of complaints from everyone, coach, players, and faculty. Anybody who will fill this position for the sake of his school, with little or no monetary compensation, certainly has school spirit. 1 There is nothing but praise for the way in which the Shuey Brothers have faced this task during the year past. By their efforts the loss in equipment has been reduced to a minimum and the duties of the faculty manager very much lightened. The two managers have not been in the limelight, like a few of the star athletes, but it is not because they do not deserve to be there. , Though probably a number of people do not remember that there is such a position as student man- ager, the football, basketball, and track teams realize how big a factor has been the work of Clyde and Franklin Shuey in making a successful year in athletics.

Q COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT 1 The Commercial Department of the Lock Haven H gh School offers a thorough and excellent course in business work. This department is conducted u der the expert teaching of Miss Suiter and Miss H ll, and the year of '25 and '26 has seen in it a in e flourishing condition than ever before. In th se days when the business world offers daily, hu dreds of positions to young men and women with buiness education, such a department is surely wo th while. C. R-, '26 Are You Dependable? fhe controlling thought with you must be your reliability? Can people depend on you for an honest day work? Can they depend on you for honesty and discrimination? When you represent them in any business transaction can they feel confident that it w ll be a sober and business-like representation? In o her words are you reliable in everything you do, ependable, and do you show fidelity to your empl yers, or to your profession, that which gives confi ence and means success? H. G., '26. Choosing The Best T e Commercial teacher has a very difficult time when she is asked to choose the best. By 'ithe best mean the pupils who are well fitted to accept positi ns in the offices of business men. They are the p pils who are intelligent, accurate and who have winning personality. Any business man who wishes to employ a girl from high school will ask Miss uiter to please send him 'the hest. ' She sends girl who she thinks is the best and if the man i not pleased, he gives her the title of 'ia poor judgeel The' following students have been chosen as uthe J best d are proving to their employers that Miss Suiter s not a poor judge : Hel Klinefelter is employed hy Mr. H. S. Set- terlee i the office of the Aetna Life Insurance Co. Nelle Limbert is working part time in the oliice . R. Hoag. of Dr. Mild ed Gardner has secured a position office of Fowleris Electrical Supply Company. Ethel Moyer is working in the office of Dr. A. W. in the Bauman. .Iule ykes is employed in the office of D. K. Shadleis arage. Thel a High accepted a position in the oflice of the Gene al Refractories Company, Mill Hall, Pa. almer is employed at Mill Hall in the office Lulu of the St te Highway Department. Mary elfe is working for Mr. Henry B. Otway in the o ce of the Mutual Life Insurance Company. Dorot Schadt has accepted a position in the office of t e Lock Haven Brick and Tile Company. Nevin ulger is employed part-time in the office of Schuyl r Brothers Garage. .lessie unter is working in the ofiice of Mr. Frank' Gro s. Agatha Miller secured a position in the ofiice of the Benja in Insurance Agency. Ethel 'illiamson substituted for two weeks in the Comm nity Service Office. P. H., '26. i . ss i l 1 Have I Chosen the Right Course? This is a question that confronts every graduate. It is startling how many of the graduates realize that they have not taken the course that will benefit them in their life's work. It is a difficult matter to choose the courses, for are chosen. many do not know at the time they what they really want to do after graduating from High School. In this way a person may take com- mercial work and then after graduating, decide to go to college and take a different kind of work. Many times this is difficult for the person may not have the credits that are required in subjects such as Latin, to enter the particular school that he de- sires. Then many may take the general or the academic course and then decide that they want to enter the business world. This is more easily done for there are a number of good business schools where they can enter. Many girls and boys try to choose the easiest course, but this is hard to do, as one is not much easier than the other. Many think the commercial course is the easiest, but it is as hard, if not harder than the others as one must be thorough to succeed in this line of work. Thus, many realize that they did not know what they wanted and are disappointed when they gradu- ate from High School. K. P., i26. Lock Haven Home again in the well known streets, In the place of my old school days. Loving the hurrying, heedless, crowds, And the old familiar ways. Searching for all my lost classmates, The ones that I long to see. Looking for long vanished faces, I'm wondering where they can be. They're scattered now at the ends of the world, And some may not have any home, Foot-loose and free, and hungry, perhaps, On through cities they roam. Yet one city lingers in every heart, Though far or near they may roam. And hack they will wander, as I have done, To make Lock Haven tlleir home. To some it is Naples or London, To me-but my dreams are my own, And my cherished town shall dwell in my heart, Though I am far from home. Yet, I shall love it forever, And Paris lights may shine In all their delight and splendor, But, I'll choose Lock Haven for mine. D. C., '26, The Typewfitefs Wail I am a Typewriting Machine. I live a life of hard work and hard usage. It wouldn't be so had if I were in some Business Man's oflice, but you see I am in the Typewriting Room in Lock Haven High- -if THE G ,Q ZETTE School, and I have to put up with all kinds of abuses. I sit on a little desk from morning until night. Early in the morning a person called a Student comes in and bangs my keys for an hour. This Student is a Senior, however, and is not so very careless. The worst time of my life is when a Be- ginner comes to my desk. He pounds my keys, whirls my ribbon back and forth, and slams my carriage across viciously. Not satisfied with tor- menting me this much, he rings my bell. He makes my keys jump all together and then blames me for not writing well. He does some more slamming around and then complains to the Teacher, This Machine is no good. The Teacher inspects my in- ner parts and finds them intact. Then the Student sits down again and the torture begins once more. My condition at the end of the period is serious. I have a torn ribbon, a broken shift-key, a weak space-bar, and my keys are covered with dirt from erasers. I am only a Typewriter, though, and I can- not complain. B. S., '26. A Change Which Might Prove Valuable X Why not take the road of least resistance when it is more efficient and accurate? For years short- hand has been taught in the schools and has been successful to a certain extent. Two full years are required in a high school to master the subject and this seemingly wasted time might be used in another manner. The dictaphone has taken the place of short- hand in many business offices and business men say it is a saving of time and money to have one in- stalled. They say they can dictate as fast as they choose, and can dictate even though the secretary is out or busy with other things. It can be used as freely as a telephone and there is no worry over possible mistakes. Now the question is what will we do with the time formerly used for studying shorthand? There are several ways in which it might be used to good advantage. If it were possible to install a dicta- phone beside every typewriter in the school, to give each pupil the practice of typing from the dicta- phone, the pupils would be more successful in their work as stenographers. Part of the time might be used in training the student to dictate. This is- a change which will come about in the future and we are hoping our school will he among the first to make the change. H. M., '26. The Value of Business English to the Stenogvapher Have you ever thought seriously about the value of Business English, especially to the stenographer? Have you ever stopped to consider what it is really worth to her? Is it necessary? Let us discuss it for a moment. I have heard that training in Business English is as necessary to the stenographer as her shorthand and typewriting, and that it is even more necessary than either shorthand or typewriting if she wishes to rise to the top of the ladder of Success. Now do not let that startle you, for it is the truth. No stenographer can afford to go out into an office with- out it, in fact she cannot get along in the so-called business world with only a knowledge of shorthand S9 and typewriting. She must have a thorough training in Business English. Perhaps we do not realize how necessary it is. Business English is not merely training in cor- rectness, but it includes correctness in spelling. punctuation, grammar and sentence structure. A stenographer must be sure of her grammar, for oftentimes it is her duty to correct faulty grammar when her employer is not sure whether or not he has dictated a sentence correctly. Then, too, there is more than correctness to be considered. Effectiveness is an important factor in a stenographefs training. She must have the abil- ity to compose sentences and paragraphs in which she states just what she means. She must be able to write a letter that will do just what she wishes it to do, in other words, to convey to the person for whom it is intended, just what she wants it to. We then learn that Business English is important. very important to the stenographer. After consider- ing the question, don't you think it gives her prac- tice in composition that she would otherwise not he able to secure? Doesnit it give hex' power to use the English .language correctly at all times, and doesn't it help her to gain the one thing she is look- ing forward to, a good business career? H. K., '26.
