26 THE TOWER john Kvatsak has entered into politics and is considered a good presi- dential timber for 1930. The Street Car Company employs one conductor of whom they have every reason to be proud. Don Luty is most eflicient. The way he yells NVatch your step and Fare, Please' is quite an accomplishment. Lenna Rugh has just arrived at the front as a Red Cross Nurse. lt is not known whether she will do much good because Lenna was always very careless and she might give some poor soldier camphor instead of castor oil. Some of the girls who went with her as nurses were Elizabeth VVright, Dorothy Volbreight, Mildred Harvey and Helen Avey. Mildred McKinley owns a chewing gum slot machine in the Union Station. She stands continually beside it and when she isn't extracting a piece of gum for herself she is busy looking into the mirror which is attached above the slot machine. And now that you've gone over each one, dear Hexbert, you had better go, because we must talk over these amazing disclosures. Oh, of course its always that way, when l've done what you wanted. But Iyve no objections. Say the quick spell and have me Bang-a-boo--bar Bang-a-boo-whack, XVitch is gone, Sun come back. Marrombah. Grace llorchers. Ruth St. Clair.

THE TOXVER 25 are Helen Bussey, Lorna Brown, Oscar XVallace, Elinor McKelvy, Florence Newell, Irene XVhite, and Albert XVesterman. I A concert is to be given at Carnegie Music Hall in East End. Elman the great violinist, Sembrick, Schumann-Heink, Paderewski, and other great artists will be there. Miss Ruth St. Clair, who we are proud to remember graduated with us from .Allegheny High, is the woman who will draw a great crowd that night, not only because of her winning personality, but because of her marvellous performance at the piano. She is on a tour around the World. A list of the patronesses are Miss Anna Belle Haley, Miss Elizabeth Garver, Miss Alice Black, and Miss Elizabeth Hammer. XVilliam Hart is working in Boggs and Buhls selling mirrors, powder, etc. XVe hear that the poor boy is soon to lose his position because of his use of the articles he is supposed to sell. XVith him is Joseph Gross and Nell Reid. Gunpowder instead of rice powder was applied and a terrible explosion occurred in Room 109 on the last day of school and Adelaide Peiters was seen no more in Pittsburgh. An article in the paper says that a person of that name, has been wandering about in China muttering wildly about the mirror in 109 and the evilconsequences attending any one who goes near it. Recently a new bank has been established and Paul NVineman elected its president. He is very etiicient and the lady customers all support him. Alice Beatty is busily engaged selling Kathleen Kelly's book. She is making quite a neat little sum of money this way but her specialty seems to be in selling combs. 1 In a deserted part of Pittsburgh is a little hut. At First it appears as though no one lives here, but later we find that the place is inhabited by Grace Braun who is still working' on Latin Prose Composition, thirty or forty years from now, she will be a marvel, putting poor Vergil entirely out of the limelight. VVilliam Seibert conducts a select dancing school. At all the dances now he and his partner, Miss Hilda Schodde, give exhibition dances. It is rumored that they are about to go on the stage. The Pitt Football team has again won the world's championship. One of our own classmates, Robert Irwin, is the captain. The star players are Robert Titzel and Talavsky. 1 Many medals adorn Edith Beck. No one now dares compete with her in swimming. The Kaiser has just sent a note to Dorothy Turkle asking her to come and advise him in a very grave state matter. She will probably not be gone very long as there is a great demand for her at many places. Jessie Elliot went with her. Sara l.endrum is the first woman representative from Pennsylvania.

THE TOWER 1 with Qpulugies tn ne Once upon an evening dreary, as I pondered with the query Of the deep and curious problems of our school days being o'er, Of the pupils who are quitting, wnodering where they'll all be Hitting As they leave the halls of Allegheny High School evermore,- Deep into this subject peering, long 1 sat there-wondering-fearing- Thinking of the happy days and friends we'll see no more,f How some girls may soon be teachers, and our liviliest boys be preachers Preaching what they never practised, nor will evermorez- How our shyest girls may marry, how the Hirtiest ones may tarry.- Hunting, searching for a soul-mate to cook for evermore: How some may go to college, to gain a better knowledge. Of the merry things they dipped into at Allegheny High, And some will only spend their time in pleasures as before- And laugh at those who earnestly are working evermore. So I sat there wondering--dreaming-pondering,-thinking- Of the studies, friends, and good old times we soon will have no more 1- But there's one thought comes to me, and I'm sure you will agree. That the days and friends of High School life in memory will stay: For even if we settle here, or in far countries soar, The good old days of .X. H. S. will linger evermore.
