MADENFORD, '24 Four short years ago, a multitude of infants appeared in the corridors of P. H. S. When asked who they were, they answered, The Freshmen. Yes, we, as Freshmen were just as these. It took a long time to get acquainted with the building, but we were soon able to find a class-room. without back-tracking all over the building. Who. among our fellows can forget those Room XI days, and how quickly the room was emptied when some hard-hearted Sophs. appeared on the scene? However, we took it all in the same spirit in which it was given and are not seriously injured. Then came our Hallowe'en Party at Dives' Bungalow under the chaperonage of Misses Critz and Smith. Everyone had a great time and all looked forward to the next party. In our second semester elections, Doug MacKeeby was elected presi- dent. The rest of the year passed quickly and we were faced with the dreary prospect of two and a half months without study. Then we returned as '4Sopbisticated Sophsf' VVe were indeed sorry to note the absence of Misses Boyer and Smith, our friends of Freshmen days. VVe made the acquaintance of Miss Short. NVe shall always re- member her for her Parliamentary Law experiments. Vile also were con- fronted by three new teachers, Messrs. Booth, Grube, and Long. This term passed with incredible speed and we were again confronted by vacation. Now, we are juniors. VVe looked with dismay upon some of our slight- ly older friends who were Seniors, realizing that our turn would soon come. This year, as usual, we held up our end in athletics and also scholastically. VVe expect to have a large honor roll for our Annual. Early in the year we held our party at Dives', a most successful affair. Miss Filbert, Miss Moyer, Miss Reinhart, Mr. Diehl, Mr. Konrad, and Mr. Knowles enjoyed the fun with us. Soon we were obliged to bid farewell to the Seniors from that front row. We wished them all kinds of good luck and success in life. Again, we reported to school, this time as noble Seniors. We elected Agnes Holahan to be president for the first semester. We had our animal party at Dives'. This was a well planned affair, consequently well enjoyed. 16 The Minuet seemed more impressive than ever, probably because our class-mates participated. Then we began to think about a play. With Miss Kathryn Morris as directress, we put on Booth Tarkington's Seventeen, With George Hohman as president, we are looking towards Com- mencement. And now We wish to express our gratitude to our kind friends, the faculty and our fellow students. We have worked with you for four long years but shall never forget your frienship and devotion, W' ! 3--I 17 Senior Class Officers i-lil PRESIDENT GEORGE HOHMAN VICE PRESIDENT MARGARET HERMAN sEc1:.Ef1'ARY HOWARD FERNSLER TREASURER MILDRED BOWER 18 ,D LESLIE ALBER Les, Genesis, Sheik Much study la a wenrlness to the flesh. That is probably what Les thought for he left his sutdies one beautiful day and ventured forth to Fight forest fires. C?j As Genesis in the Senior play he made quite a hit, for he suah was a handsome niggah. 4 In the French Play, L'Anglais Tel qu'on Le Parle as Julien Cicandel Les showed that hedeserves the high marks he receives in French. Les loves to test the broad knowl- edge of Mr. Smith with his everlast- ing questions, he must think that everyone is a bureau of information. As Les has had a great deal of experience along the line of clerk- ing he should make a success of whatever he undertakes. Class Prophet Minuet Senior Play French Play CHARLES ALTER Charlie, Pa Baxter A workman ls known by his work. Absolutely the busiest person in the senior class! Charlie's duties are many, no wonder he frowns so often. Charlie is another of our stars, as he was an ideal father in Seventeen At A play practice Charlie was usually seen meander- ing to the extreme parts of the spa- cious auditorium to consult Lola. Charles will some day own a large newspaper, which he will success- fully manage. R. O. T. C. fl, Zj Class Basketball CZ, 3j Class Treasurer Q31 Senior Play Foot Ball Manager C43 Editor of Annual A.

Roze may be seen any time after school in the Centre Street line up, with her machine, causing all her classmates to dodge.

As Betty's father in the French play, he was most realistic, and wasn't he clever as Johnnie Watson in Sev- enteen ? It is rumored that Bud is quiie interested in a certain mem- ber of the junior Class? We will some day hear of Bud as a fam- ous artist or probably he will en- tertain the children through the comic section in Charlie's paper. R. O. T.

She expresses her thoughts to no one and requests no expression of another's opinion. She is very diligent and always has her lessons down pat. Anna displayed her faithfulness in athletics, being on the Basket Ball team for four years. She believes in iinishing whatever she attempts. She is a very dainty and clever dancer. Perhaps it is because of her numerous social ac- tivities that she has never consider- ed it worth. her while to tolerate the opposite sex. Yet, we have our suspicions about this matter. Anna. expects to do clerical work at the Warne Hospital in the future and we wish you success, Anna. Girls' Basket Ball Cl, 2, 3. 41 Girls' R. O. T. C.

She has a way all her own which she showed in the Senior Play. Marg made quite a hit as Sister jane. Since the play. however, Marg has grown up, as she recently shocked us all by appearing with her hair bobbed. Marg played hockey this year and was quite a star, be- ing johnny-on-the-spot when the ball rolled near her. VVe do not know just what Marg intends to do. She has hinted at teaching. Margie is in a healthy state of mind and body, and we are sure she will make a success of what- ever she undertakes.

In his so- journ in the Pottsville High School, Howard has been manager of the 1922 foot ball team, a member of the 1924 foot ball team, and of the 1923 and 1924 base ball teams. He is also president of the A. A. Board and the spark behind the gun in the A. A. play. Howard is one of our jazz kings. His work as pianist in the famous High School Orchestra is excellent and the talent he dis- plays allows us to expect great things from him in that line. Hawk appears to have fallen un- der the wiles of a certain young heart-breaker from Port Carbon, so watch your step. Howard.

He is short and stocky, and quite contrary to all laws of nature. and a general fav- orite with the girls. The only im- pediment in Ed's path of conquest is his bashfulness. Ed likes all girls but loves none??? Caccording to his testimonyj. Ed is a coal- cracker, coming from New Philadel- phia. His High School training Ca meager amount, to be surej was re- ceived at Cumbola High School, a back-woods institution. He, like many others came to Pottsville, the fount of learning, in order to in- crease his knowledge. At Potts- ville, he became one of the famous Trio. His talents in Base Ball and Harmonica Playing were ap- preciated by everybody. Classmates, a word to the wise is sufficient-get your teeth fixed! Ed's ambition is to become a dentist. We know that Ed will make good and we wish him luck Cincidentally, a well filled pocket-bookj in his chosen vocation. D V ELIZABETH GLASER Elizabeth Better lute than never. Elizabeth, is it because you like to hurry, or is it just an accident that you should be late so often, and just one minute, too? However we know when you do get to school you are ready for work. You never 'waste your time gossiping with your talkative neighbors in Room IV. Elizabeth sang Alto in the Girls' Glee Club. Many were the scold- ings the others got from never being in tune with her. We have not been able to pry into Elizabeth's af- fairs but we wonder if there is any certain young man she prefers. She certainly has never divulged any of her secret thoughts to us. She is one of the members of our class who always knows her P. of D., and her extensive knowledge is displayed in her startling recitations. Elizabeth may be found among the students at West Chester next year. We wish you success as a teacher, Eliza- beth. Glee Club R. O. T. C.

As Wil- liam Sylvanus Baxter, Esquire, in Seventeen he proved to all of us he was the only person in school who could have possibly taken that part. Silly Bill is very fond of writing poetry. Whom do you write to now, Bill? George is our class president, and has been very suc- cessful, in that position. What could the class have done without him? William loves school and wouldn't think of playing hookey. Not even to go to the Hipp. Drink to Me Only With Thine Eyes. Mr. Smith might-explain to anyone who should be curious enough to ask, the significance of these lines. Dottie Millington and George though they were unobserved on the occasion of the quoting of these lines, but somebody saw! Perhaps they will explain. We are not quite positive what Willie expects to do in the fu- ture, but we are sure he could easily gain a role in Mask and Wig. R. O. T.

On many occasions she has made speeches, -on others has presided at assembly over heated debates which she man- ages to rule strictly according to parliamentary regulations. Agnes -established a good reputation as a student when she was a freshman and is still getting good grades. Vtfithout a doubt Agnes is a shark at her work. They say she can work any geometry proposition mentally? But then maybe she is working for honors. Agnes is a foot ball player: she wears the gold foot ball, no wonder she comes out in sports.

We don't mean to say that Alma is situated. Alma is a fine worker and is one of Izzy Haskin's partners in the Latin Class -but then her sister is the teacher. Well Alma we wish you success, but stay away from Izzy, for if you ever become influenced by her or become entangled in one of her soap box orations she'll lead you off your straight road. Here is luck. from your class, for the future. JOHN KRAUS Smeck, Big john Smeck is one of the happiest members of the Senior Class and has many friends in Pottsville High .School as well as outside of its realm. John can always be heard broadcasting his weird cries through the ether, especially when Mac- Keeby is around. John is a great student. He is a shark at chemis- try and in the near future we expect to hear some startling discovery made by him, for many of his ex- periments differ from the book. But, then, there are many things that the world does not know, so why shouldn't John receive the hon- or of finding new things for the rap- idly advancing science. John de- served credit for his work of the basket ball team last year for he was one of the best players. Shut the door John and stay in Pottsville. We wish you the best of success in anything you take up in days to come. R. O. T. C. Cl, Zj 'Basket Ball C35 President Q33 Vice President C21 Class Basket Ball f2j LOIS LEFFLER l6L0is!!

Clayton was our track manager. Some peo- ple think this was the direct cause of the teamis victory. Limey is pretty lucky. He won the orator- ical contest at school, a part in the Senior play, and an Overland car, all in one year. He is also a won- derful student. No, he doesn't bluff??? Limey never bothers with the girls. He seems to find the fair sex both amusing and a nuisance. We wonder why. Maybe someone disappointed him. Don't judge the world by one individual, Clayton. Clayton expects to be a minister. We're glad some one in the class has high ambitions. Good luck, Clayton. We hope- you attain your ideal. Track Manager A. A.

He is one of the few in the class who actually study, and is quite an asset to us. Don was brave enough to take the Scholarship test. Con- gratulations, Don. Donald was also in the Senior play, and sur- prised a great many of us. He is one of Miss Unger's best English students and is always ready with an answer when the rest of us have suddenly lost our power of speech. Don expects to go to Lafayette and take up mechanical engineering. NVe wish you success Donald. We know you can do it.

VVhile playing on the Hockey team, Kit got fussed during the Senior-Junior game and scored the point that won the game for the Seniors. Kay doesn't be- lieve in those silly school-day crushes, She's waiting for the real thing. We hope she won't be disappointed. However, we feel sorry for a certain young man in the class. g Kit is a great debater -but then, she ought to be, as she gets a good deal of practice.

Such is Otto's estimation, at least. Otto joined us in our junior year. He immediately made a hit-with some people. Otto is quite an athlete. He was quite proud of the letters he acquired this year but since he received his medal for track he gets his hats made to order. Otto has one weakness, namely, blondes, Otto's favorite out-door sport is riding with Georgine. Otto claims he is going to be a doctor. VVe wonder if a certain young lady will take up nursing. Surely Otto wouldn't leave her behind. We ex- pect to see Otto practising in Potts- ville in the near future, and wish him success: but he'll never be successful Cas a cloctorj if he insists upon parking at Port Clinton.

VVe cannot understand this. since she is a close associate of Betty Davenport and Dorothy Falls. However, Amelia never says much, but we'd hate to know what she must think-about some of us. But don't misjudge her. She is a true friend of anyone who knows her. Minchy is fre- quently called out to do typewriting for the Tuberculosis Society. She is an excellent commercial student.

Theodore is the star chemist of our school and manv owe their Chemistry credit to Mitsko'sl' note-bookg but please don't tell the Chemistry Prof, Theodore was the second speaker of the Senior Debating Team, in which the judges, but not the school, de- cided that the Juniors Wong his wise cracks about the little brown babies from the Philippines kept the audi- ence in good humor. Now, Theo-- dore really is a star pupil, establish- ing many records in Cumbola High School-who ever heard of that in-- stitution?

VVe might say that Nell is beautiful, as she was among those chosen to appear at Schuylkill Park in the contest to select Miss Pottsvillef' f'Nellie was very bashful and re- fused to appear or she would have knocked Isabel Lynch for a mock- brange.

Ernie is al- ways very happy and gay bringing merriment to many of her class- mates. As Miss Brooks in the sen- ior play Ernie displayed her talent as an actor. Ernie loves dancing and 'attends many dancesg perhaps that is why she is a judge of good orchestras.

Albert does not say a great deal in class unless his opinion is desired by the teacher and then the rest of the class know that they are going to learn something when he begins to talk. Albert has taken the state scholarship tests and we are certain that he has made a cred- itable showing in his work. Scheibie is the kind of a student who comes to school to learn and not to waste his time: With a few others of the sarfe calibre, Albert forms the back-bone of the class of 1924. VVith his studious nature and his pleasant manner Albert is indeed a credit to our class. Scheibie is undecided as to his plans after graduation but we are confident that whatever profession he under- takes success awaits him. MARIE SIMPSON Marie Oh, that I were French.

They had everything from refreshments to chaperones. 51 The committees in charge worked very diligently to make the party a suc- cess. Their efforts were not in vain. Through the kindness of Gertrude Scott the class was invited to spend a day on the Scott farm. No one needed a second invitation and all of us had a good time. Claire Stevens tried to get a few pointers on farming, by watching the men in the fields. She thought she would probably need it some day. No doubt she will.

In this sport we had to live up to the reputation we had made in our Freshman year, when we finally lost to the Seniors in the champion- ship game. Our first game this year was with the Freshmen. We easily defeated them with a score of 12-0, but they were good losers at that. Then came the lchampionship game with the Seniors. The girls were riff their usual game the first half, but they woke up during the second half and won with a score of 4-2. Hilores Bechtel, our captain, was the star of the game, making all of our four goals. We greatly enjoyed the Hockey Banquet where we, as champions. were the guests of the other teams. Our captain received the cup from Miss Potter, captain of '23, with a spec!-th written especially for the occasion. In football, Kimber Wilson and George Dimmerling made the Varsity. Our Class Party was held at Dives-across-the-railroad-tracks in the early part of November. Mildred Underwood, our class president, appointed many committees who contributed much t-o its success. The fine results of the decorating committee were without doubt due to their special meeting. Every one received a prize or favor, even the chaperones were given one -a box of candy. Moreover, there were plenty of eats, so every one had all that he wanted. The cake furnished by the refreshment committee was quite delicious. Toy balloons added to our enjoyment of the ride home in the trolley car.

The record follows in this wise: One autumn day in early September, Ninteen Hundred and Twenty- three, the good ship, Twenty Seven. weighed anchor at Port Grammar School and set sail for a hitherto unknown land- The Land of Understand- ing. We were a royal crew: beautiful damsels and gay young sailors that trod up the gang plank. On the dock stood many proud, anxious parents giving us a last good-bye and wishing us bon voyage. We were all eager for the voyage, so when the word came we gladly cast OH and hove toward the open seas. As soon as we lost sight of land the Purser registered our names, as- signed us tokour cabins. and gave us general directions. At first, sea life seemed strange, our eagerness was displaced by fear for the swaying motion of the ship and nothing but a small ship upon such a vast expanse of water made us realize that we were on a totally different journey than any one upon which we had yet embarked. But soon this feeling wore away, and we came to enjoy our new life. As we sailed on we found we needed some form of organization in which we could protect ourselves and state our needs and wants to the higher officers fthe Facultyl. So on the ninteenth of September we met in Cabin No. 10, and formed the Fo'c's'le Councilg chose as officers: President, Marion Whitehouseg Vice President, Marlin Morgan: Secretary. Thomas Matthews: and Treasurer. Mary Murtha. After a month or more of sailing we fell into most unfortunate circum- stances. One Saturday morning we put into Hockey Gulf to replenish some of our supplies, and upon leaving we found our passage blocked by the notor- ious pirates-the Sophomores. First mate Pickle and her mates manned the guns and prepared to combat with them. But alas! we were not strong enough, and after a hard battle we were put to flight. We soon forgot the defeat and as we sailed on we found we were in need of some diversion. Therefore, the Council met and decided to sail to some distant castle and hold a grand ball. Plans started immediately and the Captain granted us the privilege, provided we were supervised by some of the Officers. 65 On the fifteenth of February, we sailed into the Schuylkill Inlet and dropped anchor before Dives Castle, and as evening drew nigh we slowly gathered there. Everyone was arrayed in gala-day attireg the room was ablaze with lights, and gorgeous decorations hung from the walls. That night we danced, ate and made merry until the night grew old, and it was announced we must leave. We did it, not without some reluctance at leav- ing the cheer and mirth of the castle. Some days later the Fo'c's'le Council again met and held its second election. Those elected were: Thomas Matthews, Presidentg Lillian Kline, Vice Presidentg Helen Robbins, Secretaryg and Catherine Ryan, Treasurer. VVe had one serious misfortune. As we passed Latin Bay a severe storm arose and washed a number of our crew overboard. We immediately lowered boats to search for them. but not many were saved as they became entangled in Flunking Reefs. We sailed on until in June we reached Port Vacation. where our ship was to be overhauled, during which time we would be allowed a furlough home. To you who are interested we shall unfold the Purser's log and let you read the names and record of the crew of Twenty Sevenf, Sarah Alter-Sarah has been dieting religiously lately-she is so deli- cate you know.

ALLTON- Kit, Kitten A good head is better than n hundred strong hands. Here is a young lady who hates to see candy lying about loose.

Flowers is the gigglcr of our class, She is always laughing at something even though it is only a trifle, NVhen she isn't laughing, we know something has happenedg she either has had a scrap with Walter or she has lost her happy home. She and Mr. Knowles are very intimate although they have qunrrels more than twice a day. In Arithmetic she is our Star, but Mr. Jacoby docsn't realize it. VVe feel sorry for her father if she should be im- poverished because of Florics mania for candy. ANNA lil. CONYVAY- Connie, Anna One good friend is better thun the jewels of ull the world. Connie seems to be very shy C71 in school. VVe wonder if she is that way outside. All the quiet girls come from Port Carbon: don't they Connie-'? Anna is some shark in English CD. She can spell some of the most difficult words put before her, such as, cat, dog, rat, etc. Him is usually her main subject of conver- sation, There is a reason for her visiting St. I'atriCk's Church every week. VVE hope that Mr. Hall will find your work satisfactory. MARY G. EDELMAN- Mac, Toy To keep from falling you must keep climbing. Our model Bookkeeper happens to be our friend, Mac, She is somewhat shy QU in school. VVe hope she will remain that way in the future. Toy received a prize for doing the most work in Bookkeeping Class this year. Mac says she doesn't talk but you should hear her-she never stops. Nevertheless, she is studious-sometimes. A better penman than Mary is hard to be found. If Mr. Weiss knew you as well as we do, we are sure he would advance you from Cash Girl to Head Book- keeper. -- KATHRYN E. FOLK- Kitty, Betty H'hat I've been taught, I've forgotten: U'hat I know, I've guessed. VVe think this is an expression to suit you and we know you will agree with us.

Ed is a capable dancer, being one of Mr. Vallas' pupils, He is also a well-known musician, and expects to some day rival Alan Kirk as a saxa- phonist. VVe do not know whether the Pro- fessor prefers to follow a dancing or a musi- cal eareer, but we wish him suecess in which- ever he may choose. JOSEPH J. FREXV- Joe Training of holly as well as mind was his desire. Here is one of the athletieally iuoliued mem- bers of our class. Joe shone in basketball during his last year in Commercial School. He does not believe in over-lrurdening the mind with the laborious duties of routine study: nev- ertheless, he is a good student, and, when he wishes, ran apply himself well to any undertak- ing, however difficult. Joe likes the girls. but never renters his affeetions on any one member of the sex. He keeps them guessing. His eheerful disposition makes him a great favorite with both sexes. and he is, without a doubt. among the most popular of the boys of our olass, -l DORIS R.

YVe think it is a case of Ted, You can imagine the Sheba she is when she captures a Sheik like Ted, LAI'RA L. HAHNER- Larry, Lal She who is true to one friend thus proves herself worthy of many. Our best-natured girl is L:irry. Anything you want to know just ask Larry -she knows everything. She is very bright and if an eighty appears on her grade card, she is shoeked. ln Bookkeeping Mr. Knowles can be seen talking to Lal but not on the subject of Bookkeeping, Oh, no! on the subjeet of talking and laughing. He had to ehange her seat so she and Em would keep quiet. Aren't Lar- ry's dimples adorable? VVe often wonder if they were the means of attracting Mal for he oertainly was attracted by something. Are we to understand that Laura is eoming bar-k again next year to take another course? MARGARET L.

This motto does not mean anything to Al, She is not afraid to ask questions. She is very quiet-sometimes. But she is also intelligent. In some classes Al is talkative, especially in Law. Jake helps Florie to eat her father's profit. She studies all the time and has little time for recreation. VVILLIAM S. JEFFRIES- Bill, Jeff Empty wagons make the most noise. Bill believes this is true, and is, therefore, a silent boy in class. But when he makes a Fl'CiUiTi0T'l, he astounds the class with his bril- liancy. For Bill is well-informed on many subjects. KVe know that some day he will be a literary genius. Jeff is also an athlete, and was a member of Commercial School's Basket- ball Team during the last season. VVe do not know what Jeff's ambitions are, hut we wish him well in the future. HELEN M. LEININGER- Horrors, Ed If you cannot command success, you at least deserve it. Monkey Business tfuvorite expression! Uh! How she does type-write! VVhcn Mal- colni's speed excels hers, she gets cross and will not speak to any one for a week or two. She is a kind, good-natured. industrious girl. If she Lal, and Dot don't keep quiet in Law. we don't know what will happen. XVQ believe it will be an extra trip to the office. XVhat happened between you and Prof, I-lelen? NVc hope it isn't serious. Keep up the record you have established in l'. H. S. and you will surely come out on top in the Philadelphia. Business School. FRANCIS L. MADARA- Chip For him there is but one-Dol. Chip is without doubt a lady's man. He finds the girls more interesting than study, and is especially attracted to Dot W'hcre one sees lWot. Chip is also to be seen, for they are always together, even in classes. Chip is a great friend of .Ieff's. and a member of the Uommercial Basketball Team. Cl1lllu says he thinks he was the best player on the team. XVc know that his efforts were for I'Hot's sole benc- tit. and we wish them a happy future. free from all discord. -l SALVATOR S. MESSINA- Sal H'ith laugh and song the day soon passes. Sal is indeed care-free. Nothing ever wor- ries him: he takes life as it comes: and we ad- mire this attitude. He Ends the girls very in- tertstingg indcefl they are his main interest. barring sports. For Sal is a true follower ot' all lines ot' athletics. though we think he shines most brightly in baseball. He is a good man behind the bat, and has earned a place on l'ot.tsville High's Varsity this season. VVQ: shou':l not be surprised to see his name broad- cast with that of Harry Hyleman's over the world some day in the future. KATHRYN M. INIICKA- Kitty, Mic-ka Enjoy the sweet thought of wisdom. Une of the most industrious pupils of our class is Kitty, NVe seldom know she is in the class as she is never in any mischief. Kitty is a wonderful Bookkeeper. She can take a Trial Balance without going over it more than a dozen times. Every time we have a test in Law. Mr. Knowles makes known Kit's grade. She and Reshie are very good friends. They don't quarrel more than twice a day. Dad will be grateful for your services in his office. GRACE J. MOHRBACH Infant, Gracious !Vhen one is truly in love, one not only says it but also shows it. A sweet smile. dark curly hair, a heart with room for every joy, a charming maiden, indeed. Gracious is one of our best students. a good athlete. and a lively factor in class activities Now, Infant is fond of 'sports fall kindsj. She is especially attracted by a certain member of the .lunior Class. Don't ask any questions. Grace we are positive that he will appreciate your efforts and good work. EDN.-X L.

Nevertheless, she is full of fun and vigor, especially in her class rooms. Tootsie is very much interested in talking to Prof and Bill in Law Class and does not wish to he disturbed.

XVlierei'er Roses is, we are sure to see Francie Frances is al- ways at the right place at the right time. She does not make herself conspicuous hut she is one of the loyal students of P. H. S. DONALD XV. SCHOENEMANU Don, Schoenie Give every flying minute something to keep in store. Sc'hoenie excels in Bookkeeping. Mr. Knowles is sometimes astounded at his quick work in making up a Trial Balance. This would seem to predict a future for Sehoenie as Bookkeeping for a large firm, though we do not know whether his interest is to follow this line of work. or to become the future manager of the Pottsville Bip: Five's' Champion Basket- ball Team. iVe rather believe that Schoenie prefers the latter, after the successful season which the Junior Team just passed through, under his management. ETHEL E. SPEHRLEY- Ethel, Shorty Small of stature. lnrge of heart, Onre a friend, she'll never part. If you talk of midgets-let Ethel step for- ward, but cheer up-good things come in small packages: it is not always the size that counts. She doesn't say much but what she does say is worth while, Shorty is always willing to help anyone in distress-especially in a test! She is a faithful friend of Helens a good rooter for I'. H. a true Girl Reserve, and some day we know we shall hear of Shorty as a world wide organizer of the Girl Reserve Clubs. MALCOLM V. STERNER- Mal Ambition knows no rest. There are no two ways about itg Mal is the marvel of the Class. If the ability to write shorthand and to operate a typewriter meant success in polities. he would now occ-upy the presidential chair. He possesses a gold medal for both shorthand and typf-writing. The opposite sex to all appearanees has not yet ex- erted its influence upon him but if you happen to enter into a conversation with him on this subject his approval or disapproval of their characteristics is certainly marvelous and con- vincing. It is of no use to persuade him to give up in an argument. May suceess crown your efforts. FREDER-If'K YY. Sl'PER- Fritz Failure is for those who think failure. This is Fritz's belief, though it may not be actually in evidence. he has great ambitions. Tin,-y do not, however, run along the line of study, for Fritz has found interest elsewhere. Mistake not our meaning. It is not the girls: rather, athletics, Fritz is greatly interested in basketball. He and Joe were team mates in the East Side Cresc-ents. and helped to make a name for themselves during' the 1923-24 sea- son. VVe would not be surprised to find Fritz a guard for the New York Celtics in the future. ROSE L. TFFCI- Roses, Sweet Roses She is as happy as the day is long. Rose-'s friends know this to be true for she is always jovial. although she is a little llavk- ward and timid. Talk-she has every one beat- en a mile. She has received many awards for accurar-y in Typm-writing but there is a reason -she has learned to concentrate. She is a model for young' girls, being' opposed to bobbed hair an'l vanity boxes. I-loses' only ambition was to become old and settledg but what has ehangeil her mind? ELIZABETH A. VAYGHN - Betts Silence is Golden. Elizabeth lives up to this. She is a demure little frirl in school, Outside we do not know how she is. Her friend, Esther, has left school. Now Peg and Hazel are usually her two companions. Betts cannot be sur- passed in Penmanship. She can write the word nine without more than four crooked letters. NICHOLAS J. VVEREZ- Nick Knowledge in power. This adage impressed Nick, and he decided to arm himself with a thorough knowledge of all studies. Indeed, his teachers are sometimes surprised at his brilliant efforts, and unlimited capabilities. Nick is one of our musical members: his harmonic selections often are a source of entertainment to the class. He never bothers with the girls while in school, but we strongly suspect that there is one of whom we know naught. However, Nick is not one to divulge affairs of the heart, and our informa- tion on that subject is incomplete. VVe can say, nevertheless. that he is a true and sincere friend. HELEN F. XYRIGHT Sweetness, VVrigl1tie The price of lYlsdom is above rublef-I. I must say Sweetness is a brilliant student. In Shorthand she is very, very stutlious. She can always be st-en doing: her home work in class. VVrightie asks many questions in Law even though she dot-sn't know the topic Mr. Knowles is discussin,2'.

His idea to journey to California after he graduates is well-known to his classmatesg he and Fld have formed many plans whereby they are to visit the Golden State.

XVe wonder what the attraction can beg we have our suspicions. despite the fact that Dutch tries to make us believe he is airl- shyf' XVe wish you a pleasant trip, Dutch and hope you will make that journey to Pali- fornia before the gray hairs come. 79 CLASS C05l3lliliClAI, JIXIUR Zluninr Qlnmmvrrial ifiainrg September 10, 1923, will never be forgotten in the memory of the Junior Commercials. On that day we assembled at the Twelfth Street Dock. and made preparations to embark on an educational cruise through The Commercial Straits. Six vessels were lying at the wharf, but we were inter- ested in the one named junior Commercial. At 8:45 the gang-plank was lowered and we boarded the vessel. VVe walked around confusedly, until we received directions from our Admiral, Mr. Diehl, and our Captain, Mr. Knowles. There was much excitement until We were assigned to various state-rooms. Some of our fellow-voyagers never could find their way, and were piloted around by Salvator Messina, Walter Charlton, Dorothy Noss, Alverna Weigand and Elmer Donkin. About 11 o'clock we set sail, and after a few days discovered that the voyage was not going to be so calm as we had anticipated. At times the sky grew dark and threatening, but soon the menacing clouds disappeared. During the voyage we stopped at various ports-Typewriting, Arith- metic, Penmanship, English, Bookkeeping, and, last but not least, Shorthand. The characters here were very unusual. Some became acquainted with them readily, but others gave up i11 despair, thinking it was useless to seek for more intimate acquaintanceship. A The vessel continued on its course, and under the guidance of the Cap- tain and his able crew, who were on the lookout for dangerous rocks and reefs, escaped many shallows and shoals. But one day the signal was given: Danger Ahead. Some of the voyagers took heedg others did not. With a crash the vessel struck a rock, called by the natives Mid-Year Examination. We stuck there, but after three days' work succeeded in dislodging the ship and launching out again into the deep. This experience affected everyone. The more serious-minded passen- gers were prepared for the shock, but the others, who could not be impressed with the truth, became confused and dazed. Some of the indifferent ones re- gained consciousness quicklyg others still seem to be bewildered. Barring experiences of this nature, there is much pleasure in sail- ing-if your fellow-voyagers are congenial. When we set sail, most of us were strangers, but by daily contact we soon learned to know each other. Lest time effaces from our memories the images of our friends, we will jot down a few distinguishing facts concerning each one on board: First and most important of all is Elmer Donkin. His captivating smile and winning personality attracted everyone-especially the girls. As President he steered us safely through many financial difficulties. Don't trouble trouble till trouble troubles you, says Thomas Davis. Worry wrinkles the brow and over-exertion has killed some men! As Treas- urer, Tom handled the money carefully but no doubt he heard that the President was advised to put a Sherlock Holmes on his trail. Salvador Messina must be classed with Tom Davis. Nothing ever worries him. ,lohn Bast and Morris Cotler are the happiest, jolliest, and laziest boys in the crowd. They derive a great deal of pleasure from doing abso- lutely nothing. They need not fear that all work and no play will make them dull boys. Sl I We soon found a comedian of fame in our midst-Philip Zacko. In his performances he is usually assisted by Howard Yocum and always finds an audience in Ivan Sterner, Herman Barth, and Joseph Smith. Infants require attention, constant supervision and so do Lloyd Ferns- ler, William Hartstein and Clayton Shoemaker. Some people would call them midgets but we know they are babies. They can amuse themselves for hours at a time with a piece of string, a pencil, or a button. They say a name means nothing. Look at Helen and Florence Stoudt! VVith Isabel Price they make up the heavy-weight champions of the crowd. We hope their weight may help them to hold down responsible positions in the future. The boys were not absent when weight was distributed for Nathan Chinitz is a good representative also. Do you think it was tactful to tell him he broke the scales? Nathan's work shows that weight has no effect upon the activity of the mind. If opposites attract, mention must be made of our friend, Norman Jacoby-better known as Slim jake. He is so stern that his countenance becomes frigid-perhaps that results from his interest in the ice business. Viola Seltzer, Hazel Hughes and Marguerite Rosenberger constitute that trio which is known as the Three Twins. They are inseparable and seem to have a rollicking good time together. . Appearances are usually deceiving! Laverne Manhart, Isabel Kersh- ner and Anna Buehler have little to say in a crowd but Oh, my! Earl Long and Charles Mohn are very dependable. They work dili- gently and seem to realize that there is no royal road to success. Why hide your talents? VVe tried for months to discover something that Reuben Shefter could do and lo! one Hne day he appeared with the fa- mous High School Orchestra. He is a very promising drummer. It was not james Sterling's red hair that made him popular but his kiddish pranks and his good sportmanship. How many would have the pluck, if they were so small, to scrimmage with experienced football players? Miss Aldrich lectured on the effect -of cigarettes upon the heart. Allan Hummel listened attentively and now he is firmly convinced that the Hutter- ing of his heart is not from cigarettes. Ask Agatha! . If Esther Avancini is a fair representative of New Philadelphia, what must the other girls be like up there? She has a charming disposition but what is more important, much intelligence. Gilbert Moyer thinks that a change of scenery is good for anyone. -He delights in traveling. The home-coming is the only thing that is objec- tionable. We are,keeping close watch over Harry Lehman, Ralph Smith, Elmer Williams and Theron Boyer, for we fear they will be arrested for speed- ing f????D Slow down! What a contrast the Tuccis' are! Jennie is as quiet as a lamb but we can't say the same of Bruno. His parents were foresighted when they named him. Whenever a groan or growl is heard, it usually issues from Bruno's quarters. Not every person can master the English Language. If automobiles were English, Charles Inquartana would pass with IOOZ. 82 For Agatha Fleischut the world holds no one but Allan. Grace Lech- leitner seconds the motion. We hope a hair-pulling contesta will not be used to settle the matter. Andrew Campion doesn't realize that all girls envy him. It seems a shame that a boy should be blessed with such beautiful curls. Andrew is not a bit vaing in fact, it is not the exterior but the interior of the head that interests him. To be around Helen Shomo a few minutes would convince anyone that the human race was deteriorating. My, how those jaws do go! If Helen ever suffers from lockjaw, she can attribute it to a piece of chewing-gum. Florence Bohler and Laura Lee talk from sunrise to sunset and from sunset to sunrise and never stop. The only time Laura was quiet was when Billy proposed to her fin a play.j Proximity to Laura in the class has had a startling effect upon Paul Hoepstein. He concealed the truth for a long time. We know now he is interested in the girls, but is too shy to admit it. John Bennett and Vernon Shock have the reputation for never having their work prepared in Shorthand. Miss Hoffmaster condemns them to soli- tary confinement where they spend their time dreaming of lands to conquer where the script of the nation may be more intelligible. It is needless to say that Alverna Weigand is a supporter of athletics- particularly baseball. Is it the sport or the business manager that appeals to her? Lewis Poda and Adam Grossman left us three times to seek their for- tunes but always returned. Was it the Compulsory Education Law or the magnetism of Old High that drew them back? Whenever fashions or styles are the topics of conversation, Dorothy Noss is in her element. She displays good judgment in her selection of clothes and always makes a fine appearance. VVonders never cease! Helen Kaufman was quite individual with her long curls but the bobbing bug caught her, also. Alvin Riegal is so active that he can scarcely keep awake. Perhaps, he would rather sleep for then he can dream of Anita. A book is a source of entertainment at any time to Anna Francis, Cath- erine Royer and Gertrude Evans. Romances and Mysteries are their favor- ites. Helen Jacobs is a very reliable girl. She spends most of her time writ- ing. There is a reason. Hazel won second place in Penmanship in the Coun- ty Contest. Moran Koury is bashful-before a mixed audience. When the male members are removed, he seems to regain his self-composure. To look at Rebecca Reed one would never think she had the courage to argue with any of her superiors. Mr. Moose can vouch to the contrary. It is the ambition of Earl Berger to open a grocery store. With the help of Ronald, Wehner, we know he will succeed in establishing a Chain Grocery Store to compete with the Great Atlantic 81 Pacific. 83 Ruth Gittleman thinks A thing of beauty is a joy forever. She ad- vocates the reduction of working periods to 30 minutes. 0ne's nose gets so shiny in 45 minutes. Catherine Scheuer and Thelma Smith are interested in athletics and proved their ability on the Girl Reserves' Basketball Team. Anna Yoder and Doris Sherry are the quietest girls. Sometimes we look -twice to see if they still exist. A singer of note is VValter Charlton. He bursts into song whenever the inspiration comes. Time or place are of no concern to Pete, Artists are all temperamentalg therefore, the only thing required in dealing with him is Patience. Ten months of hard work has not lessened the color in Doris Bertsch's cheeks. If all the girls possessed the same natural color, they could dis- pense with their unruly vanity cases. Alberta Martz and Thelma Painter are our Society Belles. Each one has a number.of suitors and can be found at any time in earnest conversation about them. It's a wonder how so small a head can contain so much knowledge- in English. Ethel Leininger is Miss Reinhart's old standby. When every other person fails, Ethel comes to the rescue. Marguerite Schlottman and Laura Lawhead are making wonderful strides in their love affairs. The milk business interests Marguerite more than shorthand, but why shouldn't one study something that will be of bene- fit in the future? ' After you have been in the company of Edward Hamilton 10 minutes, you can plainly tell what his hobby is. He has memorized the lineup in every sport, and can give any information desired. Why is Arline Hodge so eager to get information. Is she inquisitive? No. Her mother is a reporter. Beware, girls! Anna Franck and Dot Schneck are very conservative. Education, not style, is their chief concern. With one real friend I count myself rich, says Dorothy Long. Cath- erine Royer should feel elated that she is held in such high esteem. Frances Brehony is an emulator of Hazel Jacobs. She was one of the first to be awarded a Penmanship Certificate. Here is an accomplished girl-Emily Zentner. She is a rival of Pav- lowa, Russian dancer. Emily is a coveted entertainer. Charlotte Wyncoop is following closely in her foot-steps. The winning personality of Eleanor Smith, Mary Reiter and Mahala Houser have gained for them many friends. Who could resist Eleanor's and Mary's smiles, and who could be so rude as to try to break away from Mahala when' she commences to talk. Leona Hauptly tries to outdo her, but in vain. . Albert Smith doesn't say much, but he thinks a great deal. Some- times we would hate to have him express his opinion of us. Don't worry, Albert! It is deeds. not words, that count in this world.

He could scarcely be blamed, for when one is giving very close attention to a radio message, trying to catch some particular word or words, one does not especially care to be interrupted just at the criti- cal moment. No, he was not a radio bug listening for the call letter of a dis- tant station. Thomas J. Moran, District Chief of the U. S. Secret Service. was after bigger game. if deciphering a strange code message might be called such. He suspected these massages, which had filled the air for sev- eral nights, to be communications of the Corelli gang, that lawless band of anarchists whose network was spread all over the country. After hours of vainly attempting to decipher the messages, the key was almost in his grasp, and then it slipped from him. Suddenly in the midst of a yawn, he sat up straight. At the last stroke of the hour, out of the air came a hollow. unearthly voice. This is the hour I died! Beware! It is you I mean, Tom Moran. You killed me, but you could not kill my spirit. I swore I'd get you, and I will. Within forty-eight hours you will be with me! Beware the King of the Underworld ! A mocking. fiendish laugh and the voice was gone. Moran pinched himself. VVas he dreaming? That voice was Corel- li's. He would recognize it anywhere. But the whole affair was impos- sible. Corelli was dead, was even now lying in Lawnview Cemetery, sent there by a bullet from Moran's own gun in a raid a few weeks previous. The telephone rang sharply. As Moran answered, out of the in- strument, as if to confirm the previous message came the same ghostly voice. Remember! Forty-eight hours! You can't escape from a spirit. The same diabolical laugh was followed by a click as connection was broken. Frantically, Moran signalled the operator. VVhen she answered. he gave his identity and asked where the call had come from. In a few seconds which seemed ages to Moran. came the reply: Buttonwood 6542. Which is ? The office of Lawnview Cemetery? Shuddering, Moran replaced the receiver. He tried to steady himself by use of reasoning. His common sense dubbed the matter an impossibility, a practical joke. or perhaps an attempt to scare him on the part of Correlli's old gang. But the facts seemed to be against reason. He was positive it was Corelli's voice:-only one in millions like that. From Moran's very entry into the Secret Service, Corelli, gangster, bandit, bootlegger. anar- chist, and self-styled King of the Underworld, had been his greatest enemy. Corelli swore that some day he would get Moran. Up until Cor- elli's death, Moran's life had been constantly in danger. If the man could 86 still wield his power for evil from the spirit world, Moran dreaded to think of the consequences. ' Then the spirit of combat Hooded his features. His firm, square jaw, his tightly compressed lips, his flashing blue eyes, his bristling, bushy eye- brows-every line of his countenance showed a determination to light to the finish. Forty-eight hours to live! Well, I'll show them. I don't care so much for myself. But .what about the wife and the kids? And then, I'd like to break up that gang of Bolsheviks before I kick off. Means a big promotion if I do. Well, I'll see whether they'll bump me off so easily. Thus ruminating he made ready to retire, taking extra care that all doors and windows were securely locked. As a final precaution he slipped a short, ugly automatic under the pillow of his bed. The night was uneventful. but he tossed restlessly about. Much as he disliked to, he would have to tell his wife of the matter. Coming over the radio, as it did, the whole city would know and talk about the threat. What was the sinister portent of 'that ghostly message? Was it really worth wor- rying about? Was it a joke. or was it really serious? He decided to be on his guard, and to keep his senses alert. VVith dawn came increasing confidence and assurance. To be sure, his wife was violently disturbed, and begged him to remain at home and not expose himself to any danger. However, he finally persuaded her that the more sensible way was to go to his office and take practical measures., His private prediction was correct. The whole city did know about the threat, and was already buzzing with excitement. On his way down- town he was forced to dodge hundreds of morbidly curious persons. His office was crowded with reporters, but Moran refused them an interview, and cleared the office. Then he turned to his two wide-eyed assistants. Both were superb specimens of physically perfect manhood, but their alarmed attitude showed their regard for their superior. Well, Blake, and Thomson, I suppose you've heard something of this affair? Yes, sir. and we're with you to the last breath, replied Blake. I'm glad of that. Now I'm going to tell you something you haven't heard. Two minutes after the message came out of the air, the threat was repeated over the telephone. I discovered from the telephone people that the call originated at the office of Lawnview Cemetery and that's where Corelli is buried. If I'm still alive tonight I have an idea that the message will be re- peated. Now, Thomson, I want you to take four daring men and go out to Lawnview Cemetery tonight. Post two men in the same room with the phone, and you yourself and the other two keep a close watch outside in the vicinity. You may catch something human, or you may run up against a ghost. In either case, don't let it get away. Blake, I want you to work with me on this. Stay with me all time, so in case they do get me, you'll be right there to follow the matter up. Now send two men out to my home. Let one of them search the house from top to bottom while the other keeps guard outside. And tell them to stay there unitl further orders. A long distance call to Wilson, his superior at Washington, was next in order. Hello, Wilson! This is Moran. I have some hair-raising news for you this morning. The details of his experience were then related to the astonished Wil- son. And say, VVilson, can you go over to the Navy Department and get a loan of three radio detectors. You know the ones the Navy used during S7 the war to tell from which direction radio waves come. I have an idea this code-station is right here in towng and if I place a detector at three different parts of the city, maybe I can find its exact location. Besides, I think this ghost is broadcasting from the same station. You will! All right, rush them here as soon as you get them. Good-by. Moran worked till late at night perfecting his plans. Blake stayed with him. As they switched off the lights and entered the dark corridor, they be- held a sight which caused their hearts to stop beating and froze the blood in their veins. A few feet away, a pale, green faintly luminous head appeared to be floating thru the air toward them. As it came nearer, they recognized its ghastly features as those of the dead man, Corelli. The repulsive coun- tenance was twisted into a horrible, fiendish grin of triumph, which dis- played a set of almost beastlike fangs. Crack! A bullet whizzed past Mor- an's ear. The supernatural apparition evidently preferred natural weapons. Moran returnred the tire, but his shot went wild. Grab him, cried Moran as they rushed to the spot. But they grasped thin air. The thing had completely vanished. Not even a sound had be- trayed its departure. The day had been hot and sultry. The high humidity had made the heat almost unbearable. With the fall of night had come a terriffic thunder storm, accompanied by hail, wind, and much lightning. The skies began to clear. and the stars to peep out, and the air seemed cool and sweet. The streets were filled with rushing water. which, in the reflection of the few lights undamaged by the storm, seemed to be a mighty river. The storm had wrought much havoc. and everywhere wires were down. As Moran and Blake nervously wended their way to Moran's home. Thomson and his party were quietly approaching the Lawnview Cemetery. Due to the storm and the late hour, the streets were deserted, but nevetheless Thomson had his men scatter and approach on different streets. As Thomson neared the graveyard, he felt that nervous, superstitious feeling peculiar to everyone about to enter a cemetery at midnight. The fact that his purpose was to try to capture a spook made him feel no better. The plan was this: Thomson was to post himself across the street from the entrance: two picked men were to leap the cemetery wall, and approaching the office from the rear, were to force an entranceg the other two men were to place themselves on opposite ends of the burial ground, so that each man should command a view of two corners of the plot, which occupied a space two blocks square. Thomson placed himself opposite the entrance and looked about him. The building in the shadow of which he stood was an old dilapidated ware- house as were all the rest for a distance of several blocks, with one excep- tion. Fifty yards to his right was a large electric sub-station. A block to the left, a solitary lineman was repairing, by the light of the street lamp, the damage done by the storm. After satisfying himself that his men had gained an entrance to the office. he settled down to wait. VVith the approach of mid- night, the tension on his nerves increased almost to the snapping point. A few minutes before the hour. a disreputable-looking character passed under the arc light, and. in passing, exchanged a word with the lineman. As he approached, Thomson shrank back into the shadows. His face seemed famil- iar, but it was too clark to identify him. The stranger passed by without dis- covering Thomson, and entered the sub-station. Thomson breathed a sigh of relief. At last it was midnight. One, two, five, ten minutes passed, and nothing happened. After an hour's wait. Thomson crossed the street, and was admitted to the office by his men. Seen anything? he asked. Not a thing, but we're gettin' leery of this place. Let's go. S9 I' I'll use this phone to report to Moran, first. While Thomson had been engaged in observing the stranger's actions, Moran and Blake had arrived safely at Moran's home. Entering the living- room, Moran glanced at the clock. It was one minute to twelve. Maybe the ghost will have some excuse to make for his poor aim. Let's listen in for a few minutes. Moran was trying to be jocular, but he was far from that. Seating himself before the instrument, he turned the dials and listened. The code messages were flashing again. We'll find out where they're coming from tomorrow night, he com- mented. Then the clock struck the hour, and they waited expectantly. At the last stroke came the same familiar, spooky voice: You got away this time, but it won't happen again. Next time I'll get you right. No matter what care you take, you're doomed. This is the hour I died and at the same hour tomorrow night I'll meet you in- The sentence was broken off by the same awful laugh. Before either man could find words to express himself, the telephone rang insistently. Moran lifted the receiver from the hook. and again heard the voice: You thought it was hot today, but tomorrow night you'll sizzle in a hotter place. Remember, your doom is sealed. Again that nerve-racking laugh and the connection was broken. As before, Moran signalled Central, and asked the origin of the call. Again the answer was, Lawnview Cemetery. Altho possessing the courage and nerve of two ordinary men, Moran was ashen-faced and trembling. Blake was in no better condition. Moran found words first. If Thomson placed two men aside of that telephone and those two men staved awake, I can't understand how even a ghost could use that phone. Nor I, rejoined Blake. This affair is becoming more spooky every minute. ' I don't suppose either of us will sleep tonight: so we might as well wait for Thomson's report. For one hour they waited in silence. Then the phone rang again. This time it was Thomson. Hello, Moran! Thomson speaking from Lawnview Cemetery. Car- ried out your orders exactly, but didn't see a thing. What? roared Moran. The voice called here at one minute past twelve, and Central reported the call as originating from Lawnview Ceme- tery. It was Thomson's turn to be astonished. Say, there's something queer about this business. I'll swear that I saw no one except my own men enter the office, and they will swear that they were on the job all the time. To the best of their seeing. hearing, feeling. or smelling, nobody used that phone. Well, that certainly is queer. Bring in a detailed report tomorrow. That will be all for tonight. Needless to say, neither Blake nor Moran slept that night. In the ,morning Moran felt better. Rather than relax his caution, he doubled it. The guard about the home was strengthened to four, and a per- sonal- bodyguard of two men accompanied Moran and Blake to the office. All day this guard stood before the door of the office and allowed no one not immediately connected with the srevice to enter. The radio detectors arrived shortly after noon, were taken to widely separated parts of the city in charge of trained operators. Their positions 89 were marked on a large map of the city from which Moran explained the plan to his two assistants. VVhen the code-station begins to broadcast, the operator of each de- tector determined the angle the wave direction makes with a line due north and south. This angle is telephoned to the office here, and the lines are plotted on the map. The place where they intersect will be the location of the code-station. Do you understand P Yes, sir. Very well. Thomson, you will remain here this evening and attend to this matter. As soon as you find the location, telephone me at my home for instructions. Blake will go with me. When Moran and Blake went home that night the two guards went with them. Added to the four already guarding the house, this cordon seemed capable of frustrating any attack on Morap by natural means. It looks as though we're going to cheat the ghost, remarked Blake. Yes, but we'd better keep out of line with the windows. A man with a rifle could shoot in here from quite a distancef' The evening dragged slowly until half-past eleven. Then code signals began to come over the radio again. At 11:40 p. m. the telephone rang. Moran answered and heard Thomson's voice: The lines intersect at Twenty-first and Buttonwood Streets, sir. Twenty-first and Buttonwood? Are you sure ? Yes, sir. Just a moment. Blake, hand me that map of the city. Twenty-first and Buttonwood was quickly located. The men stared at each other with unbelieving eyes. Twenty-first and Buttonwood was the lo- cation of Lawnview Cemetery where Corelli was buried. The only building of any consequence near it was the electric sub-station. Hello, Thomson, take six men and go out to Twenty-first and But- tonwood and try to find the station. If you find the ghost there, be sure to bring him along. If you canyt find it anywhere else, raid the sub-station. Thomson hastily gathered his men, loaded them into two taxis and directed the drivers to Eighteenth and Buttonwood. The drive took less than five minutes, but it was sufficient for him to formulate his plan. Ar- riving at Eighteenth and Buttonwood Streets, he explained his scheme to the men. Two men would take a circuitous route, and approach the sub-station, which was to be the converging point, from the left. Two others would ap- proach from the rear. Thomson and another man would come from the right, while the remaining man would take his station before the office on the side of the street directly in front of the cemetery. If any man should discover a radio aerial which looked suspicious, he was to blow once the silver whistle which he wore. All the -members of the party would then go to the spot. lf. however, he should approach within thirty yards of the sub- station without discovering anything, he was to blow gently twice. If a raid on the sub-station then became necessary Thomson would then blow once. The men then set out. Thomson and his companion, having a short- er distance than the others to cover, proceeded leisurely. As they passed beneath the arc lamp, the same lineman they had seen the previous evening was descending a pole. Just then a suspicion struck Thomson. Perhaps this man had something to do with the telephone mystery. Grab that man, he shouted to his companion. The lineman, seeing them coming, jumped the remaining distance to the ground and started to 90 run. He had gone only a few steps when he felt Thomson's grasp on his arm and Thomson's gun against his ribs. Say, what's the big idea? Can't a trouble-shooter go about his busi- ness without some bull butting in? I ain't done nothin',,' he whined. No! Then, why did you try to run? Temporarily you are under arrest. So saying, Thomson handed the protesting trouble-shooter over to his companion with instructions to remain there till his return. Steathily Thomson resumed his search, keeping in the shadow of the buildings. But no radio aerial was to be seen. He came at last to the thirty-yard limit designated. In a moment came two low blasts of a whistle from the other side of the sub station. then two from the rear. Thomson answered, and while so doing glanced at the sky. There. outlined in the starlight, above the wires of the substation was a radio aerial of unusual heighth and length. This, then, was the place. He looked toward the building. saw but one light, but also thought he heard a low hum of voices. The build- ing had only one door. Making a dash for this. Thomson gave his signal for the rush, just on the stroke of midnight. Back in Moran's living-room, Moran and Blake were anxiously await- ing both the result of Thomson's raid and the further development of the ghost's threat. It was the zero hour. Nerve strain was increasing every moment. It was now one minute to twelve. Out of the air again came that dread summons: You have one more minute to live. Prepare yourself' Then the clock struck the hour. On the final stroke the telephone rang. Trembling, but with a feeling of relief, for he thought it was probably Thom- son reporting, Moran put the recevier to his ear. Hello! - His expression suddenly changed. the muscles of his body grew tense, his jaw fell open, and he dropped to the floor. And out of the air came a triumphant, fiendish laugh. Blake was at his side in an instant. Life seemed extinct, but there might yet be hope. Running to the open window, he shouted to one of the guards: Go for an ambulance and a doctor, quick. Then he summoned the family and the other guards and together they worked over him. He still seemed dead when the ambulance arrived. VVhile this event occurred. Thomson was raiding the sub-station. The five men reached the door almost at the same time. The place was empty but from a stairway leading to the cellar floated the sound of the most blood- curdling laughter they had ever heard. Down these steps, Thomson led the way, shouting: Hands up ! As he came to the bottom of the steps twelve pairs of hands reached for the ceiling. 'Thomson took in the situation at a glance. The room was equipped with a complete radio broadcasting outfit. Standing before this with his hand on the electric switch was the man Thomson had seen the night before. If he was not the dead man. Corelli. he was his exact double. A wire joined to one end of the switch was fastened to a telephoneg the other end of the switch was connected with a transformer bearing the words: Twenty-three thousand volts. The next day. Moran recovering from severe shock. received Thom- son's report in the hospital. His eyes beamed with approval. but they also bore a puzzled expression. There are a few things I'd like to have cleared up. First of all, how could the man you captured imitate Corelli's voice so easily ? 91 Easily enough, replied Thomson, because he is Corelli. The man you shot was not the 'King of the Underworldf it was his twin brother. XVell, it certainly is strange I never thought of that. But how did he make his telephone calls seem to come from Lawnview Cemetery ? Remember the lineman? He tapped the wires leading to Lawnview Cemetery. Two gone. Here's the third. VVhy dicln't the current kill or at least burn me? Because the telephone protectors on each phone were on the job. The protector broke down under the heavy load and ground the current. Now the last. VVhat was the ghost Blake and I saw when coming out of the office ? A combination of Corelli. luminous paint, and sneakers. Since only his face was painted, when he turned it the other way, he was invisible in the dark. The sneakers and his own cat-like tread made him noiselessf' Yon reported to Washingtoli, did you? VVell, here's a telegram I got just before you came in: Congratulations on your escape from death and the roundup of the Corelli gang. Am resigning today. Have recommended you to succeed me as Chief of the Detective Service at Washingtoii.-VVilson. Thereupon Moran turned to Thomson and said: Thomson, when my duties begin at VVashington you will be Chief of this district. Blake will go with me to VVashington where they have no ra- dio ghosts. mi 2 .gliigal il I .V 3- 1 .. 92 N N PHS Foot lall L Te nni.: l 'ie K, Base Ball 'L Track 'i x X3 f lf + Q jk RQ 'ij M4 l N R W A ff Xb 1 A f ,- .1 .1 . . 4 Mig ' lm V L Tg' 6 Q, Qjf,-nm 16 W L -a-u---- - President .....

The team was greatly handicapped because of the absence of experienced players but the boys stuck to the job and trained faithfullv. O. Miller, K. Falls, Wilson, Fernsler and Dolan returned from last year's team and formed the backbone to the team, but we did not have a Roseberry or a Rettig lighting on the line and had to train men to fill their places. Falls, Treon and Hopkins Worked at center and handled their part successfully, while Miller, Dimmerling, Wilson, Falls, Dolan and Robins held their own in the backheld. SCHEDULE Others P. H. S.

Otto did very good work on our team this year, having charge of the team several times during the season. The fast end runs of Otto made great gains. The school will miss Miller next year for he was represented in three of the major sports. K. Falls is also one of last year's men. He is one of the most spirited football players that ever lived. if he wasn't playing real hard he was rolling on the ground just for the fun of it. Falls played center several times and also handled the team from quarterback. The school will be greatly bene- fitted by Falls' return next year to,take up three sports. Kimber VVilson is one of the stars of 1922, and returned to P. H. S. full of pep for this year's season. Wilson was one of the heavy backfield men and a line plunge by him always made a gain. He was a great addition to the team the past two years and great things will be expected of Wilson next year. Dimmerling was one of the new men out for football and was a great help to the team. Dimmerling became very popular during Basketball season and the school expected many great things from him this year in football, but, unfortunately, the game was against him for he broke his ankle and was off the squad for the last part of the season. We are sure Ding will do his duty next year and back the sports as he has done in the past. C. Inquartano was one of the players who did not care whom or what he hit just so they went down. His first year on thevsquad brought him hon- ors for his hard playing was recognized by all. And the coach thought a great bit of his work, even if he did use the paddle once in a while. R. Dolan was little, but oh my, how he made them hit the ground. Rabbit was experienced and was sure a great help to the team. For a mat- ter of fact, the team thought so much of Dolan that they elected him as their captain for next season's team. James Robbins made his first appearance as a football player this season and played as well as any player on the team. Monk played the line during the first part of the year and also played the backlield several times. Robbins will be with the team next year and will surely do his best. Charles Hasler came out for football this year for the first time and his weight and speed was a great help to the team. Charlie was one of the leading basketball players of last year and was equally as good on the foot- ball field. Many a line plunge was stopped by Hasler, also his offensive play was of great note. David Martz was a great addition to the teamg in every game that David played he did his very best, always hitting the line hard. Dave was a new man at High School football and came out for practice and training very well. Dave will be with the High School team next year. Robert Hopkins was a Freshman but he showed us that he could play football by his hard work on the squad. Bob played center and end. At end he displayed his ability as a football player, breaking up all end runs and cutting in fast for line plays, always getting his man. Howard Fernsler was an old player, hardened to football and the rough ground of Dolan's Field. Therefore, Hawk was one of the greatest assets to P. H. S. football. Hawk was an all-around man, playing all parts of the team and giving everybody a run for their position. In the Thanks- giving game no player could come around Hawk's end without getting picked off. Howard graduates this year and the team will miss his old Fight. A. Pacenta was one of the cleanest cut football players on the team covering end. Pacenta intercepted many forward passes and played good offensive ball as well as defensive. Pacenta also starred in the Thanksgiv- ing game, making large gains -on forward passes. He will be a great addi- tion to the team next year. R. Schoen was one of the big boys on the team. we don't know what we would have done without him. Dick was a fighter on the line and when he hit a man the thud could be heard on the sidelines. Dick will be back .on the line next year. VValter Follett was also a strong line man. VValter kept training and was very faithful at practice. He was one of the best players and always hit the man hard. Charles Treon was out training for center and was making very good headway when he broke his leg which caused him to miss a greal deal of time from his lessons. C. Alter, Manager. 99 3 Q5 'G NVGIJ. 'I'IVflJ.5DISVfI LLISHVA Basketball JOS. F. MCGARRY VVhen the call for basketball came in December, it was so eagerly responded to, that in a sense it seemed to be the only sport in which the fel- lows could participate. About 30 candidates reported, and among them was almost a full team of veterans from the preceding year, and also many other experienced men, who were looked upon as valuable assets to the team, and who later proved to be so. The turnout was very gratifying to Coach Jacoby, and everything looked very promising for a championship team. The next move was to find a hall in which the men could practice. This, as is well known, is a yearly occurrence and a proposition that usually gives those in charge much difficulty. Cnr Sam's father greatly obliged us, however, by offering his hall for practice until the Armory was available. This we used for the first several practices. during which the fundamentals of the game were gone over, signals practiced, scrimmages held, etc. VVe appreciate very much the great help rendered in this incident, and assure Mr. Dimmerling that his service to the team was of great value. After several hard practices, the team rounded into Fine form, and the season was about to be opened. So on December 14, we started our schedule by visiting the Summit Hill High School. The team that represented Old High worked very hard to gain a victory, but with the absence of their cap- tain, Dimmerling, who had to remain out of the first few games because of the injury sustained. to his ankle in foot-ball, and the great work of Bonner of the opposing team: they were obliged to return home with an eight point defeat. This. however, did not dishearten the men as was shown in the next game, when we won a great victory over the Lehighton crew. In the first couple minutes of this game, our Varsity ran up a score of about 36 to the opponents 5, after which the first string men were removed for the extra men to get into the game. These players also worked mighty hard. and they finished the game with a six point lead. Cowboy Falls had nine field goals in this game. In the next game, which was played at Nesquehoning, P. H. S. was represented by a badly crippled club: four members of the regular team being absent from the line-up. The crew that played. however, made a good showing, and although greatly outclassed, were almost able to bring back a victory, the final score being Z9-19. During the game Greeny came through with two of his famous long shots. and helped to boost the score somewhat. Charley Alter, who started the game at guard, had his finger broken and although he finished the game, he had to absent himself from practices for it short period afterward. In the following week, we journey out to Tower City. where a quicklv arranged game was played, in which we were the victors by a 35 to 31 score. This game was marked by the return to the ranks of the team's cap- tain. Dimmerling, who had been out of the game for reasons already stated. Although this was the first game in which he played this season, he worked verv well with his teammates. and his return promptly settled the question of Who's goin' to play center? which had been heard so frequently up to this time. 102 Thus the season went on in a more or less successful mannerg we were winning many, and, of course, losing several Many hardships confronted us during the season, but most of these were successfully over- come, and the season carried through. So as we look back over the records, we find tabulated in the Sport History of our Alma Mater, for the Basket- Ball season of 1923-24 the following record: Game Opponent Where played P. H.S.

But in thus passing over, we are touching only lightly on some very important games. which will stand as records for some time to come. Among those of the most importance are the following: A The Mahanoy City victory in Pottsville. score 33-27, was the first victory P. H. S. won over this team in about four years. The Shenandoah team came here in the following week and received their only defeat of the season from a regional team, score 34-23. The only other team beating them this season, being Norristown, in a tournament at that place. On February 30, we ran up a score of 77 to 17. on Mauch Chunk, and thus boosted our averages in the league standing. At Lehighton, on january 18, we played a nip-and-tuck game with the team of that place. The score at full time was 34-34, but most of our regulars had been removed by the personal foul route. and our reserves who had replaced the regulars were unable to hold their opponents during the extra period, so we were forced to return again with defeat. Several specta- tors remarked that it was the best game ever played at that place. Score at close of extra period 40-34. 103 March 12, marked the only defeat of our season on our home floor, it being registered on us by the Summit Hill League leaders by a score of 45 to 31. We were quite successful in the Schuylkill-Carbon League this season, finishing the season in third place. Had it not been for the several unfor- tunate defeats in the early part of the season, we might have finished in first place, but we were, however, well pleased with the showing made by our boys in the last several league games, and are well satisfied with their work. As the above record shows, P. H. S. had a very strong offensive club this year. and in comparing them with their opponents, they scored 802 to their opponents 726 points. Falls, who has been elected captain for next season's team, led the scoring with 314 of the team's total points. The fol- lowing is the record as made by the individuals: Player Field Foul Total Falls, Forward ....... ..... 1 17 80 314 Dimmerling Center .... . .. 69 21 159 Hasler. Forward ..... 42 15 99 Zeigler, Guard ....... . . . 25 12 62 Krimmel.

Much credit is due Coach Jacoby for his untiring efforts with the boys and although the players regret that they did not win all the games, they want him to know that they did their best for him and their Alma Mater. and they further state that they will again do their utmost to boost the standards of Old P. H. S. HCOVVBOYH FALLS Cowboy Falls, our snappy forward, not only led his team in points scored during the season. but came within a small margin of also leading the League scoring. Bonner of Summit Hill lead the group. and our Ken was a close second. Do your stuff, Cowboy. and don't let that fellow repro- duce his victory next year. Falls was elected captain for the coming season, and we're sure that he's going to lead his men to a standing much above that in which we now rank. ' wAR-HORSE HAsLE.R Hasler played his usual hard game at forward. Cowboy and he work those forward positions like brothers, and it was through their hard work that many of our victories were turned in. Although Charley was absent from several games, his playing while at his old post was so great that he worked himself up into the third place in the standing. Charley will be back at his old post next year again, and we're sure that those two fellows who were ahead of him this year are going to work, if they are to hold their respective positions next year. Do your best, Charley. 104 SAM DIMMERLING Sam Dimmerling was our staunch center and Captain. Although he was absent from a number of games due to his injury, his playing was of such a caliber that his score ranked second in the number of points scored by the individuals of the team. George will be with us next year again, bat- tering for the high perch which he might have attained had it not been for his ill-luck. Try again Sam. No goal was ever reached without being re- peatedly tried for. MONK ROBBINS Robbins, like Hasler and Dimmerling, was absent from a few games during the season. This enabled his teammates to step out ahead of him, and although while playing guard, a great average is not expected, james pulled thru with a fair percentage. VVe're sure that the experience he re- ceived this year will help him greatly in the coming season, since this was his first year on the Varsity line-up. NGRUM P ZEIGLER Grump was one of the two extremes that landed over here in search of a position on our team this year. Having played on the Port Carbon team for two years. he was well experienced, and naturally landed a job at guard. This he held down remarkably. getting in practically every game of the season, except several when his knee was injured, and he was forced to remain out on this account. Crump may be with us next year. and if he is, this will mean another link in the chain of strength which we are pre- dicting for the team of next year. HFRISKYU KRIMMEL Krimmel and Crump Ziegler were the two members of our team that not only represented that famous town of Port, but were also dis- tinguished as representing the two extremes on our team, for just as Ziegler was high and broad, Krimmel was short and narrow. Puddles had also played in Port Carbon with Ziegler, so he had plenty of experience. Al- though retarded by size, Frisky played a great game at guard, and as he is only a junior. we can expect to see him perform again under the colors of the Crimson 81 White. GT MILLER Miller, The Sheik of St. Clair played a guard position on our team this year, getting in almost all the games, Otto took much pride in his hair and was always very particular in seeing that it was always in place before going on the Floor. He's the only one that will not return for next year's team. Greeny, Martz. and Kline made good whenever they played. Theylll all return for next year's team. 105 5 x XWL VI: 54 grim xl-X 7 -. J S.

This team is the only one- that has ever won first place for Pottsville at the University of Pennsylvania Relay Carnival at Franklin Field, Philadelphia. The team was composed of one seasoned veteran, Winfield McKeeby, captain, and three unseasoned men, VVallace Lime, Otto Miller, and Charles Carlin. Indoor practice started Tuesday, January llth. A fine squad of nearly twenty candidates turned out for practice. The members of the squad worked and trained hard. McKeeby's indoor record for the quarter mile was broken by Lime and Carlin in 59 3fl0 and 59 U5 seconds respectively. .Bad weather shortened the outdoor training period. The first day out- side was the only one that offered suitable weather. The boys had to run in the rain and against heavy winds. Although the weather was against them they had the advantage of training on better tracks than any previous team had had. They used the cinder track at the Minersville Ball Park. the Schuylkill County Fair Grounds and also Agricultural Park for a few practices. The coach, Prof. Murray, would not promise first place this year, but he said that the team would certainly finish among the first four, The team left for Philadelphia. Friday morning, at 8:35. That after- noon the boys went to Franklin Field as spectators. During the whole afternoon Prof. Murray pointed out to the boys the right and the wrong way of running so that they would be better prepared to run a good race on the morrow. After the race the boys had a workout on the Held. Saturday noon the boys left for Franklin Field. They went imme- diately to the dressing rooms. All the boys. except McKeeby, who seemed to be enjoying himself, were rather nervous. Their nervousness, however, passed away when they got into the air and sunshine and jogged up and down in the pen until their race was called. At 1:10 they lined up. The Latrobe man jumped the gun and was penalized. The second time they lined up they got away all right. Mc- Keejiy took the lead and held it all around the field and turned in the fastest time for any man ever sent from this high school. McKeeby's record is 53M second. Lime took the baton from McKeeby with a lead of about six yards. He set out at his regular pace. Along the back stretch he was challenged by the Easton man. He never changed his stride but let the man pass him. At deadman's curve he was challenged by the Latrobe man. At the center of deadman's curve Prof. Murray had told him to start sprinting. As soon as he hit the mark he cut loose with a terrible sprint finishing with an eight yard lead. Miller had a good lead but that did not slow him down. l-le went all the way around with no one ever challenging him and gave to Carlin a good lead. Carlin set out with a fine sprint which he lengthened into a long legged stride on the back stretch. The Latrobe man began to gain on him nearly catching him on the last curve but Carlin was made of good stuff and cut loose with such a strong sprint that he was able to beat the Latrobe man by yards. The time was 3 minutes 42 3X5 seconds. The team was congratulated on all sides. Each member received a gold medal and Pottsville High School a silk banner. . All honor to the 1924 Relay Team l 109 BASWLBALL EFL HSV!! NVFLL 'TIVSI Base Ball For a long time it was undecided whether there would be a Baseball season. But the feeling among the boys of the school ran high and it was finally decided to have a baseball season this year. As the High School had no field of its own it was obliged to play all its games on the fields known as the Yorkville Yanks Grounds. VVhen candidates were first called, about thirty responded. Practices were held for about two weeks before the first game was played at Mahanoy City. The team was seriously handicapped because they had lost their bat- tery of the year before. But among the candidates, Coach Jacoby soon found a pitcher and catcher whom we were proud of. Mortimer, our pitcher of last year, was back and we were not afraid of any team in the county. As the team of 1923 had not lost a game, our boys decided they would uphold the record. They defeated Mahanoy Township High in their opening game at Mahanoy City by a score of 12-7. This victory encouraged them and they won from C-oaldale High, 12-3. They next won from Shenandoah 6-5, in a hard fought game resulting in a victory in the ninth inning. The team of 1924 is considered as good a team as P. H. S. ever had and its record is due to the interest of the boys and the fine coaching of Coach Jacoby.

The team consisted of-Betty Boone, Captain, playing Guard, Mary Dimmerling, Center, Leanore Bigler, Side-Center: Mary Stayman, Forwardg Olive Moore, Forward, Sara Clayton, Guard: Mivvey Bower, Forward, and Hilores Bechtel, Guard. Miss Rhinehart, our coach, struggled hard and faithfully to make something ofthe raw material with which she had to work, and we certainly appreciate her effort. Mildred Bower, our manager. was able to schedule only twelve games as some of the towns haven't a girls' varsity team. Out of these twelve games, however, we won I-ive and tied one. Our team and those we played were greatly handicapped, for almost every town played differently. VVe hope next year some understanding can be reached among the various towns and a standard game agreed upon. This would certainly be much easier for both coaches and players and the re- sult would be a much better game -for all concerned. VVe are quite encouraged about the team, and though it is far from perfect we expect to be much better next year and each succeding year. 115 up 5 1 X f' J- -125 'K C Hnlyllllll In ll mm IIIWV INVSLL XEDIOOI-I .WIHI9 Hockey . The opening of the 1923-1924 Hockey season was ushered in, as usual, with great delight and enthusiasm by all of the girls. The weather, being more favorable than that of last year, encouraged the girls to play, and, as a result, quite a number appeared for the practices, which were held either at Dolan's or the Playground, the former being preferred by most of the players. Shortly after the opening the different classes held meetings and chose their captains, which were as follows: Senior-Mildred -Bower. Junior--Lotus Knowlton. Sophomore-Hilores Bechtel. Freshman-Eleanor Pickle. ' The first game of the season was played by the Seniors and Juniors, the former being victorious by a score of 2-O. The next game. the Freshies, who were excited a great deal over their first game, were defeated by the Sophs with a score of 12-0. Then. the final game between the Seniors and Sophomoresl It was a hard fought battle, as both teams were determined to win, which resulted with a victory for the Sophs, the score being 4-2. At the close of the season a banquet was held at Dives' Bungalow, where every- one present, enjoyed themselves immensely. Sophomores Seniors H. Bechtel .... .... L . F. .... ..... C . Martz B.

H. S. was held Friday, May 16th, on the 12th Street grounds. Due to heavy rains and circuses held on the grounds they were not in good shape for fast times, and the sprinters, both boys and girls, sur- prised everyone by the speed they displayed under adverse conditions. W. McKeeby, winner last year of the Silver Medal, won the Gold Medal this year in the Meet, J. Robbins the Silver Medal, and C. Carlin the Bronze Medal. The first medal in the Lightweight Class was won by D. Knapp, second medal by M. Lefkowitz, and third medal by R. Shefter. C. Scheuer, a new'- comer in the ranks of the girl athletes furnished the surprise of the day by winning first prize in the girls' section: H. Bechtel winning the second prize and L. Bigler the third prize. h There was a fine turnout of the student body, both competitors and spectators, and the athletes exerted themselves to the utmost for the honor of their class. Five girls ran the final heat of the 50 yards scant inches apart in seven seconds, cutting 2X5 of a second oii? the old record. The boys' heavyweight final 100 yards found three runners finishing in 10 4X5 seconds. The quarter mile race between Carlin and McKeeby was a thriller. The Sophomore Class came through strong when the Sophomore girls won the girls' half mile relay over the Junior girls, winners of the relay in 1922 and 1923. The Sophomore boys won the mile relay, defeating the strong Senior team handily. 119 P LAY SENIOR HSEYENTEENU- + 4 P'I ! l l l P'l ! l'1'1 l l'+'l l l l'1'i P'P4' Q -a - hratrtmlz THE SENIOR PLAY The presentation of SEYIiNTIiEN. on .-Xpril 29-30th. was greatly enjoyed by those who attended. The play was given by the class of '2-lg only members of that class participating. It was directed by Miss Kathryn Morris. a graduate of this school. and also the National School of Elocution, Philadelphia. The cast included, Miss Catherine Martz. who enacted the role of Mrs. Baxter, quite ably, and with great understanding: Charles Alter, who made an excellent husband, and fatherg George Hohman, who took the part of a typi- cal seventeen year old boy so well, he won the hearts of his audienceg Miss Olive Moore, who played the role of Lola the baby-talk lady, so naturally, she astonished everyone: Miss Margaret Cauley. who was simply captivat- ing and irresistible as the tantalizing little sister: Clayton Lime, who took the part of an irritated father quite well: Miss Margaret Herman. who made a charming young lady and a thoughtful hostess: Charles Bader, who de- lighted his audience by his true boyish actionsg Leslie Alber. who made a wonderful negro servant. and spoke his dialect well: Richard Cobden, Donald Madenford and Otto Miller, who played their parts excellentlyg and Miss Ernestine Kramer and Miss Elizabeth Davenport, who were worthy of fav- orable comment. The cast worked hard and well. as was proved by their excellent per- .formances The High School orchestra furnished the music for the two evenings, Franklin VVilliams made a very efficient business manager. The costumes and stage settings which were supplied by Friedberg's and Hum- mel's were very attractive. -l. ... . THE MINUET On the Twenty-second of February the Senior Class presented the stately and graceful Minuet to celebrate the natal day of the First President of our Country. The practices started early in the month and good judgment was shown in this early start, as much valuable time was taken up by VVintield McKeeby in learning one of the steps. Mack's feet never failed to get into terrible po- sitions when the skating step took place. The swords were obtained from the P. O. S. A., and they were used faithfully in practice and out. Miss Critz directed the practices and Charlotte Niece assisted Miss Critz and the members of the Minuet as pianist. Unusual difficulty was found in procuring suitable costumes and it was not until the morning of the presentation of the Minuet that all the cos- tumes were obtained. 121 The twelve members of the Minute, Madeline Robinhold, Russel Sinton, Marion Underwood, Leslie Alber, Mary Reid, Otto Miller, Margaret Herman, Franklin Williams, Margaret Neal, Charles Rigg, Ernestine Kra- mer and Winfielcl McKeeby,,dressed in the costumes of colonial days made an agreeable and pleasing picture as they stepped to the tune of ye old time Minuetf' L'ANGLAIS TEL QU' ON LE PARLE This well known French Comedy was presented by the members of the second and third year French classes before the school and friends, on May 1. Frances Roehrig as Betty qui sais si peu bien parler francais and Leslie Alber as her devoted husband were a delightful couple. Charles Bader was a most realistic irate English fatherg the audience appreciated his spats and cane. La Caissiere was admirably portrayed by Marian Hause. David Savidge played the leading role as the interpreter who knew one language-his own. Much of the success of the play was due to David. For true Parisian accent, no one excelled Elwyn Jones, the most efficient police inspector. Carol Beecher as the maid, and George Hohman as the policeman, added much to the amusement of the audience. - Miss Dorothy K. Critz deserves very much commendation for the suc- cess of the play. She may feel well repaid for her efforts because the result of her perseverance was portrayed by the entire cast and the French depart- ment feel honored that they have one who can so readily interest them in their subject. PRINCESS BONNIE Princess Bonnie was presented May 22, 23 in the High School Audi- torium to a large audience that applauded to the echo of the splendid efforts of the cast and chorus numbering more than one hundred high school stu- dents. Every one acquitted himself most creditably. The opera was presented with full scenic effects and costumes which added to the spectacular features of production. Julia Flaig who took the part of Kitty Clover won great success and carried off many honors. Kenneth Falls acted the part of the villain ad- mirably. Who would ever think that Cowboy could be so wicked? Shrimps, the role played by Howard Fernsler was exceptionally clever. He brought many a laugh and carried off the honors of the entire show. The work of every member of the cast was good and all displayed re- markable talent. Those of the cast were julia Flaig as Kitty Clover, Ruth Reichard as Princess Bonnie, Mildred Underwood as Susan Crabbe, Estelle Richards as Donna Pomposaf' Howard Fernsler as Shrimps, Elynn Jones as Roy Sterling, Russel Taylor as Captain Tarpaulinf' Kenneth Falls as Count Falsettif' Ray Berkheiser as Admiral Pomposaf' Charles Treon as Capt. Surf, Ted Steidle as Salvador and Dorothy Schablein as Spanish Lou a jazz singer. 122 In addition to the cast, the following aided in making the opera the splendid success it proved to be:- Opening Chorus-Dorothy East, Anna Conway, Lois Michael, Fran- ces Knecht, Laura Potts, Ida Tobias, Ruth Fetterolf, Verna Lewis, Sarah Royds, Lillian Hutchinson, Margaret Bright, Kathryn Conway, Augusta O'Connor, Hannah Rudnick, Mary Dinimerling, Kathryn Nagel.
