E l A X THE Toxx?ER Cwntnarh Fifty odd pilgrims lilting a song, Reckoning little of the right or the wrong, Happy-go-lucky we traveled along- Merrily onward. Fifty odd pilgrims wending our way, Little by little we journeyed each day, Laughingly, lovingly, and one might say- Faithifully onward. VVe came and we go with the turn of the yearg Let those who love, bless us and wish us good cheer As We pass toward the new from the old and the dearh Sturdily onward. VVe hucldle like children afraid of the lightg VVhen our journey is o'er and the end is in sight, XVC pray we may go with the aid of Thy liliglll-' Fearlessly onward.

THE TOXVER 5 Iiaisturp uf the Jfehruarp 1917 Qlllass February, 1913-new class in Allegheny High School. Not an unusual occurence and still this one was, for never before had any group of students come into the High School in mid-year. How well I can remember those First weeks of our Freshman year. The little girls with the big bows on their hair and the little boys trying to act big. Freshman was the right name for some of those boys, for they certainly were fresh. Most of the girls were rather timid and would walk through the halls gripping each other by the arm and they did look so out-of-place, but after a month or two had gone by, our Freshman gained courage along with knowledge and strode bravely through the halls. They Went up the right side of the stairs now, and did not wait on the various floors for the elevator. ' Sophomore days followed quickly on the heels of Freshman days. The class of '17 began to wake up and feel its importance. Some of the boys and girls became interested in athletics and others joined certain clubs and formed new ones. Sophomore year was a good one for most of the Class. Then suddenly, before the class was aware of it, they called us, 'Qfulliorsy' and from this time 011. one could see the class jump in their growing. No more big bows tilted jauntily from the heads of the little girls, for the little girls were big ones now and most of them had stopped buying ribbons. The girls had grown up and the hair had gone up. As for the boys-well- the freshness had worn off by now. Our little boys with short trousers now had long ones and, following the latest mode, each young man had combed his hair straight back. ln Freshman year, one often saw the boys with dusty shoes, mussy hair, and often no necktie at all, but all changedg -the boys now wore the necktie shew liked best and the smell of shoe polish was very evident while many of the heads looked as if they had been oiled. Some of our class were elected to Student Council, and during the winter of our Junior Year, the class gave its first party in the Gymnasium. The Junior Year was exciting and interesting, and for many, a hard year as far as studies were concernedg but it was a good preparation for the year to come, our Senior year. Seniors l-was it possible? Taking up our new responsibilities we plunged on, eager for the day of Graduation. The first half of Senior Year surely was a busy one. New oiiicers were elected and new plans laid. Then the last half of that Senior year was more than busy. The Senior play was given and then came the Christmas Pageant and our Christmas vacation. And the farewell Senior-Alumni Dance, a night never to be forgotten. After this came our graduation and here, I believe, comes the real rush of High School life. E
