It is fitting, before they leave they should receive some reward for their labor. The reward for each member should be appropriate to his ability that he has shown himself most worthy of, that would be most applicable to his needs in the future, or it should be a inomento symbolical of his characteristics during his four long years in Beaver Falls High school. 1. ROSA COVA— “A Sieve.” The class song bird. May she use this to produce fine music, but we hope that while singing through it she won’t strain her voice. 2. ELSIE M’CANDLESS— ‘‘Set of Dishes. With which to start housekeeping. 3. LOREE THOMAS— ‘‘Teething Ring.” Elected class pet baby, because she was cutting her wisdom teeth. 4 JOHN M’GOUN— ‘‘Oil Can.” The class politician must keep well oiled in order to be smooth. 5.

Hang this on your front porch and within a week you will get your male. The TIger 8. RUTH M’KANE— “Bottle of Glue.’’ She just hates to leave high; well stick around. 9. LOUIS GALTON— “Box of Paints.” He is going on the stage, therefore, he will never grow angry, for though Louis may be provoked, he will always “make up” again. 10. DE VERB JAMISON— “Package of Camel Cigarettes” “Tis better to smoke here than hereafter.” A burning question. 11. MABEL MARSHALL— “A Horn.” Let us hear more of you in the future.” 12. MARGUERITE SCHAUBUT— “Picture Frame.” I don’t know what to get you, Mag, so here, frame up something yourself. 13.

A famous historian gave the world this theory of History— “When human creatures first began to look about them in the world they lived in, there seemed to be no order in anything— days and nights were not the same length; the air was sometimes hot and sometimes cold; sun and moon would at times go out in eclipse. Sometimes the earth itself would hake under men’s feet and they could only suppose that earth, air and sky were managed by creatures as wayward as they.” It has taken thousands of years for men to develop from this early stage of helplessness to the condition in which we now live. This story of tho past life and development of mankind is the science called history. The life of our class in High School has been such a development and the story of this development is our history. We came into this new environment, High School, on the 8th day of September, 1914, 83 helpless and inexperienced Freshies. Quaking with fear, we assembled in the Study Hall with Mr. Stewart as our Class Advisor. There were few important happenings the first day except that we often got lost in the halls or strayed into the wrong class. But the more we came in contact with the things of this new world, the more we grew in wisdom until we became sophisticated Sophomores. How proud we were then and hew we did look down on the poor Freshies! However, we soon forgot our pride and at length acquired enough knowledge to make us wise Juniors and finally after three years of experience and careful training we became dignified Seniors. With the organization of the class, we learned to choose leaders w’ho wrere trustworthy and competent and ones wrho wrould work for the good of all and not for themselves. Each year we chose our president, vice president, secretary and treasurer, and gave to them the entire management of the class. Two members have always represented our class on the Student Council and they have helped to control the interests and discipline of the school. When wre became seniors our business affairs became so complicated that 18 The Tiger the class' found it necessary to choose Edward Rabinowitz to manage the business of the class. Along cultural lines our class has advanced and has shown unusual talent. For instance, it would be impossible to ask Alvin Braun a question in Science or Mathematics which we could not answer. Newton Samuels has learned his Latin vocabulary by heart and it is certain he will never stumble on a Latin word. In business knowledge Edward Busse has proved so efficient that he has already put it into practical use in the High School office. High ideals may be expected in art and literature and here again our class has not been lacking. Christine Boggs has painted many beautiful picture for us and Bernice Partington has expressed high thoughts to use in her fine English. To satisfy interest along special lines of work, clubs were organized in High School. There were the Archaean and Shakesperian Literary societies, and the Science and Radio clubs. The opportunities offered by these clubs have proved very beneficial to some of the members of our class. It has been said that the twentieth century is an age of athletics. The class of ’18 has contributed much toward that title for we have an all-round athlete in our class. Fred Loeffler doesn’t say much but we all know he thinks a lot. His faithful work in football and basket ball has proven it. Sara Clyde, another member of our class, has worked faithfully in banket ball and this year had the honor of being the captain of the Girl’s Basket Ball team. Life itself is a game and we are all striving to win. With good honest spirit, such as our class athletes have shown, is put into the game it is sure to be a real victory. We know that Fred and Sara will play the life game with the same good honest spirit. In all that we do in these present days, it is but natural to turn our minds to the world conflict, which is raging now on the fields of Europe. Of all History the world has ever known the greatest is being written now with the blood of our splendid men. Our class has been found very ready to help the right to win in this world conflict. The girls have been loyal in their work at the Red Cross and together with the boys have made four-minute speeches for the “Conservation of Food.” We are represented in the different camps “over here’’ and “over there” for Frank Moffet, a former member of our class, is on the “firing line” in France. The rest of us at home are waiting and hoping to have some part, however small, in the great task “Uncle Sam” has undertaken. This ends our history as a class of Beaver Falls High School. May the preparation we have received in High School help us to be useful members of society so that the future history of the world may be the better, because we have lived in the world. 19 The TTger HOWARD C.

However, in times like the present it must broaden its scope and as a social unit, along with the regular course, it must promote the interests of the Allies in this war. This Beaver Falls High school has been striving to do. It would be very difficult to compare its war activities with those of civic societies, but it may well be said, when we consider what has been done in the school along this line during the past term, that the students hold a front line trench in the field of war-work. To justify this statement we need only to turn to the High School Red Cross, the High School Public League, the Boys of the First Hundred Thousand, and other personal workers, each playing a part in the great game. The High School Red Cross Unit was organized in February under the direction of Miss McIntyre, with Miss Bernice Partington as president, Miss Hazel Gray as secretary, and Miss Elizabeth Seanor as treasurer. It attained a membership of one hundred and fifty young ladies, and fourteen dollars were pledged toward its support. Since that time it has maintained an average output of one thousand and fifty articles per month, including surgical dressings, towels, pillows, tray clothes, aand other materials of use in war hospitals. The members have worked faithfully, not only at their assigned periods, but at all times necessary to make the work as effective as possible. -w ’ v '37 RED CROSS AUXILIARY The TIger The Public Safety League has been a great factor during the past term in the promotion of personal work. First with Milton Francis and later with John Murray as chairman, it has done much to stimulate the sale of Liberty Bonds and Thrift Stamps, and to urge the donation of books to the soldiers. This league has been a “High School Chamber of Commerce” in this particular line, being really the nucleons of the work. To its appeals the students have responded loyally. The sale of Thrift Stamps has been high, and many books have been given for the camp reading rooms. I vast and greatest—because of the personal sacrifice—are the boys of the First Hundred Thousand. The boys pledged themselves to earn and give ten dollars to the Y. M- C. A. fund. They learned the lesson of sacrifice and worked to support the fellows “across the way.” When, together with all these, we consider the personal work done by various members of the school, and especially by Mr. Green who has been responsible for such splendid work in the execution of this great task, we can appreciate, I think, more keenly what has been done. So often in the very midst of things we fail to realize the progress we are making. But the goal of accomplishment has not been reached, students With the past experiment we must strive on and on until the task is over. Let us when, school has closed, continue the good work whether personal or otherewise. The greater our work now, the sooner it .will end. We cannot make the supreme sacrifice, we cannot do the work proper, but we can convert our money and energy into bullets. We can make America’s mighty guns, operated by her mighty men, in the midst of battle play for Germany : My Country tis of thee, Sweet land of Liberty, Of thee I sing: Land where my fathers died, Land of the pilgrim’s pride, From every mountain side Let “Freedom” ring. 39 B. L. S. The Tiger THE WRONG ATTITUDE Many young people, both in school and out, are prone to feel that they are not getting a square deal from those in authority. There may me a semblance of truth in this. There are, sometimes ungenerous attempts to keep a young man or woman down; and they will succeed, too, if the young person allows his mind to be diverted from its true channel, to brood over the attempted injury. Look about you, see for yourself if this feeling has not injured every person you have ever known to fall into it. The way for us to get ahead in this world is to improve ourselves in every way we can, never suspecting that anybody wishes to hinder us. A “knocker” is always a person on the outside who wants to get in The one who is all the time yelling about his poor marks is usually a slacker, who is jealous of the students with an “A No. i” report. His thousand pretences for not getting along better are all nonsense; they deceive nobody but himself. W. H. U. ONE RESULT OF THE WAR After reading some of the letters from the cantonments and from “over there,” I feel sure that after the war we shall have an abundance of experienced literary men. Some boys in the service have as many as 15 girls to write to. If ‘practice makes perfect” these boys in khaki will be the “men of Letters” of the future. W. U. FRENCH vs. GERMAN Gone, finally, the language of the greatest barbarians in the history of the world. How long has German been instilled into us a compulsory study, while French, the language of a people who have always befriended us in the hour of need has not until the beginning of this war, had a place in our curriculum. Is French inferior? No. Is it of less value? No. That great German system, with its “kultur,” has so permeated the very heart of a peaceful people and a peaceful nation, that it has obtained a grasp upon everything. Germany, herself, has been controlling our study of German. We have now broken away from that tool of “der Vaterland,” and with an apology to France, promise to study her language with new zeal and enthusiasm. B. L. S. 40 The TIger BE A BOOSTER Boost your school and by so doing aid yourself. Take advantage of the opportunities which it offers, get all you can out of them, and put all you can into them. It is the student who has the power to make his school and all that it does worth while. Start now to help yourself, and at the same time to raise the B. F. H. S. standard. THE “HI-Y” The thing Beaver Falls needs, and has needed for a long time, is a high-school boys’ club. This town furnishes absolutely no place where the boys can get together as they should. “Man” it is said, “is a social animaland this is especially true of the young man. He likes to associate with the fellows of his own age —the fellows who have ideals and ambitions similar to his own. This companionship with the “other fellow” is an education in itself. There are at the present time several self-supporting clubs in Beaver Falls, and they deserve great credit for the way in which they are managed. The only drawback to these clubs lies in the fact that membership is not restricted. It is out of the question to ask Beaver Falls to build a Y. M. C. A. at the present time. It seems to us, however, that the following plan worked out might prove a substitute: A bungalow on some quiet street rented for housing the club, hire a secretary and a janitor; limit membership to high school bovs. Think it over Mr. Business Man. W. H. U. APPRECIATIONS. We take this apportunity to express our sincere appreciation of the work done in the past by our superintendent, Clyde C. Green, who is now leaving us to take charge of the State Normal School at Clarion, Pa. The efficient organization of our school system, putting Beaver Falls High school on a par with the leading high schools of Pennsylvania, is due to a great extent to his untiring efforts in its behalf. Since Mr. Green is recognized as being one of the most capable men in educational circles, we feel sure that our loss will be Clarion’s gain. 41 The Tiger WHY GO TO COLLEGE IN WAR TIME First—Because the high school graduate who, under normal conditions, would go to college is now called in an imperative way to take the places made vacant by the large number of college men who have gone to the war. Second—Because of the unusual demand for trained and expert service in the multiplied activities brought about by war conditions. Third—Because the opportunities for well trained men in “the reconstruction period” after the war will far surpass any opportunities that have faced the young men of this country. Readjustment everywhere; extension in many diverse lines; pressure to make up for wastage of war; all these will be felt powerfully. Fourth—Because the new opportunities in science and in civil and political leadership will demand the type of man the American college produces. This demand will be a large one, and it will be difficult to meet it. Fifth—Because this generation must do its utmost to guarantee trained men for the next generation. The heritage of learning and scientific achievement must be handed on to those who shall come after us. The young man who persists in acquiring an education in these days of national stress may be just as truly patriotic as the boy who goes to war. If you are leaving high school this spring and have a definite aim in life, go to college this fall. If you have no definite aim in life, join the army. WHAT PRESIDENT WILSON SAYS (From a letter addressed to the Secretary of the Interior.) “I have, therefore, no hesitation in urging colleges and technical schools to endeavor to maintain their courses as far as possible on the usual basis. There will be many young men from these institutions who will serve in the armed forces of the country. Those who fall below the age of selective conscription and who do not enlist may feel that by pursuing their course with earnestness and diligence they also are preparing themselves for valuable service to the nation. 42 THE TIger “1 would particularly urge upon the young people who are leaving our high schools that as many of them as can do so avail themselves this year of the opportunities offered by the colleges and technical schools, to the end that the country may not lack an adequate supply of trained, men and women ’ Dr. P. P. Claxton, United States Commissioner of Education, makes an urgent appeal to the students in our high schools and preparatory schools as a patriotic duty to continue their classroom work next fall. In his appeal, he says: “If the war should be long the country will need all the trained men and women it can get—many more than it now has. When the war is over there will be made upon us such demands for men and women of knowledge and training as have never before come to any country. There will be equal need for a much higher average of general intelligence for citizenship than has been necessary until now. The world will have to be rebuilt and American college men and women must assume a large part of the task. In all international affairs we must play a more important part than we have in the past.” A colonel in our regular army who has been serving on “The Border,” in writing to his son in a preparatory school, says: “I want you to enter college this fall. Few boys who are under twenty-one years of age can stand the hard work demanded in the army at this time. Our experience in the regular army is that boys under twenty-one are not mature enough physically to do our work.” ‘Tn England and France many schools have been closed. In Germany the schools have been going ahead with their work. When the instructors left to join the army, old men were brought in as teachers. England and France now see that they have made a great mistake, and we ought not to make the same mistake here in America. When the period of reconstruction comes, the country will need men of trained brains more than ever before.” W. H. U. 43 THE TTger WHEN REGGIE JOINS THE ARMY. Come, stand at attention; aw, turn out your toes, Look straight out before ye, don’t squint down yer nose.

The time is just dusk, the sun has sunk behind a lofty mountain peak of the Sahara desert, sending its fleecy shadows over the emblazoned splendor of the sunrise. A small creek winds its way through the scorching sand of the snow-covered planes. Just inside the town is a store, or rather, the store. Around the eaves of the stately building is suspended a sign with the following words: PERCY VERANCE, Dealer in Soft and hard coal, ice cream, wood, lime, cement, perfumery, nails, putty, specticles and horse radish. Chocolate Caromels and Tar Roofing, also Gas Fittings and Undertaking. Inside this store were grouped the industrious ones of the village. They were all sitting, gazing open mouthed, with their corn, cob pipes griped vice-like in their firm set jaws, at one who from all appearances seemed a stranger. This object of intense interest was a man whose straight black 46 The Tiger hair hung in golden curls around his shoulders. His keen eyes were camouflaged by a pair of dark spectacles and the loud baying of his motor car could be plainly distinguished outside, stamping his well shod hoofs impatiently. “Well,” the stranger was saying, “My name is Ivan Pratzokiel-ryontmeisten.” “I'm spending the summer in Canada. I remain there in the winter also. I am what is termed a self-made man. My parents are poor. They have never been wealthy and at the time I was born they were even less wealthy than before. As soon as I was born their poverty distressed me. So immediately I set about for a plan to relieve their little deficiency. I resolved to aid them by my own pocket. But upon reaching into my pocket, immagine my surprise at finding no funds; also that I had no pockets. So my parents continued to be poor, and I was the sole heir to their poverty. “Large was my bounty and my soul sincere.” But nature did no do much for me in the way of beauty. I was quite plain when born and still retain that characteristic to a large extent. My freck les were of a peculiar type, of an olive green shade, fading into a delicate shade like our new liberty war bread. Like all other ambitious boys I attended an institution of learning. My teacher painted vividly before my overworked imagination, the picture of Abe Lincoln. She told me, that this season, poor boys becoming president was quite the rage among all classes. But no one knew better than I, although deserving the job. I could never stand for outstriping my worthy antagonists who also might covet the position. So 1 refrained from allowing my name to be posted as candidate for election. Then, too, I do not like publicity. So I became a wild man, a stage robber. I traveled many years in Europe making a study of special studies of Italian bandit and erman honesty and kaiserism, I acquired great fluency as a crook there, and some of my best work was taken from life. This was probably due to my taking ways, at least to this I partly owe my success. Now I am wealthy and only go for such deals for the pure enjoyment and wholesome moral influence thus evolved.” “Now gentlemen,” he resumed, in a voice that was horrible to hear, “you have heard my story, and now I come to business.” By drawing a huge piece of artillery (German Krupp pattern) from his vest pocket, he deliberately shot two of the worthy audience and demanded the combined finances of the remainder on pain of death if refused. Watches, nickles, penknives, tobacco and all the resources of the crew were piled upon a barrel in a huge stack. 47 The Tiger But hist! A small undersized boy, a hero, the son of a gun of the storekeeper’s son, Percy Verance, Jr., steps up to the desperado and says in a perfectly cool and collected manner, “Cease thy shameful pursuit of acquiring the fortunes of our honorable citizens, thou basest of villians. Cease I pray thee and a fitting reward shall be thine. I decree it. If instantly thou ceaseth, a one.half pound of sugar shall be thine own.’’ The affect was marvelous. The desperade broke down and sobbed, and kissed the little hero upon his manly brow and thanking the savior of Bugville most profusely he sprang upon the back of his motor car, lashed it with his whip, and, with the sweet product clutched to his breast, he departed, never to menace the growing population of Bugville again. DRAFTED Percy Galbraith was certain that his draft number would be one of the first; and sure enough—it was number four. Although Percy had expected this, nevertheless it came as a terrible blow-. It hardly seemed possible that he, Percy Reginald Galbraith, a Yale graduate, must throw aside the splendid career which lay before tim, to enter the ranks. Back and forth in his mind he argued the question. He had never enjoyed camp life and “common people” bored him. Moreover, to him it seemed a terrible thing to take human life. However, as the meaning of it all dawned upon him, he realized that the caause of humanity and liberty must be championed. So he determined to fight the fight like a man. Indeed, Percy might have become very patriotic had it not been for his loving mother and sister and a deep.rooted conviction of his own that, in a case of emergency, he might prove a coward. This feeling haunted him. Try as he would he could not dispel it from his mind. As for his mother and sister, they just could not think of their Percy away from home luxuries. Of course for some boys it would be perfectly all right; but with Percy—well, it was different. He had always enjoyed, shall we say, refined influence. Besides, Percy had never been strong. Indeed, when they came to think of it, he was decidedly delicate. For a time they secretly hoped he might be exempt on account of his physical condition. But of course he was not—very few were. They talked it over and over, but the more they did so the more they became convinced that Percy could not go. However, one beautiful Aiftumn morning, while the bands played and banners waved, Percy, along with the other draftees, boarded the train for the cantonment. 48 The TIger The first few days at camp were very strange indeed. The commanders did not know, and cared less, that Percy Reginald Galbraith was a college man, or that he had money and position. He must eat and drill with all the others in just the same manner as they. As the strangness wore away, Percy realized that he liked it. He seemed to have more confidence in himself and the secret knowledge that he was helping his country was very pleasing. He worked hard. Since he was so careful and attentive in his work, he was given the office of Corporal. Yet, still he feared that put to the test, he might fail. Having completed his days of training, Percy sailed for France. On arriving there, he found awaiting him a promotion—the office of sergeant. His company, Company A, was stationed along the western front at a very advantageous point for the allies. At first, there had been another company with them, but as time passed, it had been withdrawn. A couple of weeks later Compaany A was surprised by an attack from the enemy. The command was given to charge. But in a short time the lines were thrown into confusion, many men and officers killed and the battle in a fare way of being lost. In the midst of the confusion Percy had a wild desire of slipping away. For an instant, the old feeling of fear and cowardice passed over him. Trembling from head to foot, he was scarcely able to stand and his gun fell from his trembling fingers. In the tumult, his companions would not notice him. Anything would be better than to face the cold, hard steel of the enemies’ blade. Yet an unaccountable force held him to his post. Around him, he saw the terror-stricken soldiers without their leader. He realized that the critical moment had arrived; that upon him rested the victory or defeat of the day. Forgetful of himself and everything else in the world save a triumphant charge, with renewed energy, he rallied his companions. Once more under a leader, they no longer feared and the scene of chaos about them nerved them on. Harder and fiercer they fought until the enemy were slain, and the few who remained driven back in disorder. The slaughter had been great but the battle had been won. Percy, wholly innocent of the heroic part which he had played, was conscious only of having proved himself uncowardly in a case of emergency. 49 The Tiger On the following weak the company received orders to meet with the general of the army. It was a beautiful day. On such a day as that only a few years before, the meadows would have been green, flowers and shrubs would have blossomed and birds would have sung in the leafy trees. Now, however, the meadows stretched ahead in a barren, desolate waste. On one side of the assembled company, flowed a dark, mirky stream poisoned by the enemy; on the opposite side towered the ruins of a once beautiful palace; here and there across the waste rose the smoke from an output and far away in the distance came the roar of cannon. The general of the army mounted the little platform erected for the occasion. He spoke to the company concerning the battle of the previous week and pointed out to them just how much it meant to the allies that that charge has been successful. He then reminded them that their victory had been brought about by one of their minor officers. He summoned Percy Reginald Galbraith to the platform. “Sergeant Galbraith, I present to you this gold medal to show you our appreciation for the very important service you have rendered to your country and to our allies. Furthermore, we appoint you captain of Company A and predict that soon you will be major.” His comrades cheered. However, no one was more surprised that Captain Galbraith himself, and none less surprised that his loving mother and sister who had expected it all along. American boys who are fighting “somewhere in France” for the Stars anad Stripes and the sake of humanity; “as long as the streams flow into the sea, as long as the shadows flit over the hollows on the hills, so long shall your name, your glory, and your honor remain.” C. S. S. 50 THE AKCHF.AEN LITERARY SOCIETY THE ARCHHAE LITERARY SOCIETY. The Archean Literary Club grew from necessity. It was organized in March, 1915, by John Howe, ’15, Chester Nagle, ’16. and William Shutte, ’16. It is the only Literary Club in this High School at present and is worthy of support of every person. We exemplify the slogan “Liberty, Fraternity and Equity,” for the boys and girls share equally in the benefits derived from it. John Howe was chosen the first president but very little was done because the end of the term was- near at hand. However, several good programs were rendered. The following term under President Chester Nagle and Secretary and Treasurer Victoria Daniel proved very successful and much interest was taken in the society. During the year ’16-’17 all interest was lost and there was left but the name of the club. Very few programs were rendered and very few socials held. In the fall of ’17, with but four members- remaining the society began to let the school hear from it. Several members were taken in and many good programs were given during the first semester ot school with Newton Samuels as president. The second semester the following officers were elected: President, Tommason. Bruce Schmunk was compelled to resign because of other duties and Abraham Belloff succeeded him as pres, ident. The society has grown rapidly and now the meetings are held in the evenings rather than after school hours. The society feels very honored in having as honorary members Miss Elliott, Miss Pearson, Miss E. Simpson and Mr. Heckathorn. and are very grateful for the interest which the whole faculty has taken in its work. 52 The TIger THE RED CROSS To France we cannot go, ’tis true But we at home our bit can do By making bandages and pads To bind the wounds of the hero lads, Or, perhaps, knit a sweater warm To protect some hero from the storm. Are they worthy?—or better still, Are we worthy of that noble will That sacrifices home and all To nobly answer the country’s call? Are they less gallant, brave or bold Than those gallant knights of old V. - o went out to right the wrong And save the sacred from despoiling throng? We entering now in behalf of the weak The defence of liberty and justice to seek For this our men are laying down their lives And that the supreme sacrifice Greater love hath no man or nobler Than to lay down his life for a friend or neighbor. How often do my fingers pause While patiently working with gauze As I wonder what brave youth shall wear This bandage I have made with care. Which of the boys, side by side, A nation and a mother’s pride In answer to his country’s call Somewhere in France shall nobly fall And with each bandage goes a prayer That with my help and the Red Cross care, The boys will be brought home once more. Safe and well to America’s shore. God, grant forgiveness where’er we shirk To do our duty at Red Cross work And may we give some of our time To that work almost divine. —ELIZABETH FULLERTON. 54 THE SENIOR CLASS fa: EDUCATIONAL ■S' THE VALUE OF LATIN The question may be asked: “Is Latin of any value to the student while in school or are the benefits not derived until later? This question would be answered in the affirmative because Latin is to most boys and girls a hard subject. At the high-school age something difficult is necessary to bring out the intellectual power of the students. One other study could be substituted. That is mathematics. But the higher mathematics are not suitable for the high school pupil. It seems that elementary algebra, plane and solid geometry and trigometry, comprise about all the mathematics that may be taught to young people in secondary schools. And besides- the study of Latin is a very desirable help in the study of English as it furnishes a key to the content and reference material upon which more of the best literature of most of the great English writers is based. In the first place we are able to handle the resources and solve the problems of the present only as- we are thoroughly acquainted with the past. As the Romans have contributed such a large share to the world’s civilization in law and philosophy, art and literature, it becomes important to know the attitude which they assumed toward the various questions which confronted them. And this can never be done unless we study their means of expression, the Latin language. In the second place it implies clearness of expression, both written and oral. It is evident that such clearness can be gained best through exercises in translation where there is constant practice 56 The Tiger. in finding the correct English word or phrase to express the idea in the mind of the author. And experience proves that, on the average, the students with classical training have acquired, a diction and style far superior to that of those otherwise trained. The man without training in Latin may not know what he lacks. But he really lacks much in ability to speak and write English. In the third place, the knowledge of Latin is highly important in many fields of learning and study of biology or of medicine without a knowledge of Latin are handicapped, because they do not understand the meaning of the multitude of technical terms employed which are nearly all of classical origin. The scientific names of all plants and animals are in Latin. The classically trained student thus has a great advantage in mastering these subjects since he appreciates at a glance the relation between the facts learned and the names applied to them. AGNES LYTLE. 57 SCHOOL NOTES. The Baccalaureate sermon to the graduating class of the January division was preached Sunday evening, January 2 0, by the Rev. F. C. Veile. The Invocation was given by the Rev. J. C. Slater, while the Scripture was read by the Rev. O. J. Schoop and prayer by the Rev. W. H. Patterson. The music for this occasion was furnished by the High School orchestra, under the leadership of Veo Blackwood. JANUARY DIVISION CLASS PLAY. The January division gave their class play, “The Return of High Jinks’’ in the Carnegie Auditorium on the evening of January 23. The play was given under the direction of Miss Carey. The plot which centered around the college students of Hoosier proved exceptionally interesting. The part of High Jinks was most fittingly chosen for Harry M. Bell since it allowed his witty nature full play. Miss Ruth McKane, as a young movie star, was charming. John McGown, as High Jink’s, rival showed his acting abilities especially well. Rosa Cova, as Mrs. Bumsky, the scrub-woman, brought peals of laughter from the audience and a successful stage career may easily be predicted for Rosa. Every member of the class took part in the play and all rendered their parts with ability. Miss Carey deserves much credit for the manner in which the amateurs were trained. COM M ENCEM EXT. The commencement exercises of the January Division were held in the Auditorium Wednesday evening, January 23. The class gave a very interesting program consisting of a reading by Miss Ruth McKane, Class History by Miss Dorothy Kinsel and Harry Bell as Class Donor. The ladder was accepted by Edward Busse of the Senior class, June Division in behalf of his class. Presentation by John McGoun. 59 THE STUDENT COUNCIL The Uger Prizes were awarded Miss Marguerite Schaubet for English, Dorothy Kinsel for Latin. A reception and dance followed at the Tamaqua Club. Morrow’s Jezz orchestra furnished the music. SPECIAL CARS. Several times during the year the students have taken special cars to accompany both the football and basket ball teams. The first of these trips was made to Butler in November. Although defeated the crowd had plenty of spirit and everyone reported a glorious time. Probably the most enjoyable of the basket ball trips was made Tuesday, March t. to New Castle. The fact that High won by a larage score added to the joyousness of the occasion. Everything from knitting to checkers’ provided the entertainment on the way to New Castle while movies, singing and “eats” were the diversions coming home. Another trip was made Friday, March 15, to Tree’s Gymnasium, Pittsburgh to witness the championship game between our own High and South High of Pitsburgh. This game decided the championship of the W. P. I. A. League and was won by South. “SOLIMEKS HOME.” High was honored the second week of school by two of her former students, Edward V. Corcoran and William McKimm, new enlisted in the serevice. Both Mr. Corcoran and Mr. McKimm spoke of their adventures in camp life and told some especially interesting incidents. The 53 service flags recently put up form a great inspiration to the students. Instead of one large flag, 53 small ones with the name of the soldier on—each have been hung in the windows of the Study Hall and new ones are being added daily. Prof. Baker of the Manual Training Department left in January to join the colors. Prof. Craig, a new teacher in the Chemistry Department, enlisted in the service recently and has won a First Lieutenantcy. Mr. Craig made a host of friends during his short stay at High, who were sorry to lose him. Mr. Harry Schaefer, secretary of the school board, leaves in the near future for camp, “somewhere” in the U. S. A. Cl The TTger Prof. Hill and Prof. Heckathorne, both new teachers this year, are awaiting their cards before leaving for the army. Harold Houston, known to his many friends as ‘ Louie.’’, left Wednesday, April 3, for Camp Sherman, where he enlisted in the Quartermaster’s Corps. “Louie” was our champion foul-shooter and will be greatly missed by everyone. CHAPEL ADDRESSES. Monday, March 25, Mr. Griffith, the present secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, talked to the students on the subject, “Turkey.” Since Mr. Griffith lived in Turkey for several years he was well acquainted with his subject which he delivered in a most interesting manner. It has been the secretary’s custom to visit our chapel services several times during the year and has proved a delightful talker each time. Mr. Rider, a noted chemist of Pittsburgh, delivered a forceful and impressive address, Wednesday, March 27, on “Chemistry and the Bible.” He spoke of the direct relation of physics and Chemistry to the Bible and astonished his listeners with the statement that the best law of radium was found in the Bible. Mr. Rider asked his audience to read the First chapter of Habakkuk, substituting the Germans for Chaldeans and they would find such implements of war as the aeroplane and submarine mentioned. THRIFT STAMP DAY. Every Thursday has been set aside as Thrift Stamp Day. So far the students have been very patriotic in saving their quarters. FOUR-MINUTE SPEAKERS. Four-minute speakers from the various classes have been giving talks at chapel on “Food Conservation,” “Thrift Stamps,” “The First Hundred Thousand,” and “Books for Soldiers.” The purpose of these speeches is to train the students to talk well before an audience as well as to stir the patriotism of the school to its fullest amount. “KAISER CANNED.” The afternoon of March 29, the bells rang at 3:45 and all the school was astir with curiosity when we were told to go to the study hall for a mass meeting. Prof. Green soon appeared on the scene and in behalf of the school board announced that they had “canned the kaiser.” Thundering applause greeted Mr. Green’s statement. In a wild show of a spirit all the German students piled everything “German” in one heap in front of the main entrance so that those coming in and out were forced to tramp upon the books. 02 The TIger “SOCIETY NOTES.” The Archean Literary Society met Tuesday evening in the Study Hall of High. An excellent program was given. The Misses Frances Murray and Sarah Feinberg composed the reading class and Misses Emma Ranck and Lena Tomasson, the declamation class. Miss Bessie Rabinowitz gave an original story and Miss Marcella Teich-man, a piano solo. Selections on the violin were given by Miss Frances Tanny which greatly pleased the audience. The society holds its meetings every two weeks. JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET. The semi-annual Junior-Senior banquet was held in the Gymn. January 19. The arrangement of the tables was especially clever. A large faculty table was placed in the center and small tables formed a circle around it. The gymnasium was beautifully decorated with American flags while the tables held the “orange and black’’ carried out in candle shades and unique “hat” favors. An exquisite basket of Marguerites formed the center.piece on the faculty table and was afterwards given to Miss Adda Elliott, dean of the girls. Miss Cook was toastmistress and toats were responded to by Prof. Green. ’ Patriotism”; “Seniors,” John McGoun; “Juniors,” Eugene Pettier; “O Joy, O Boy, Where Do We Go From Here,” Harry M. Bell; “Seniors,” Agnes Lytle, and “Cases,” Catherine Snodgrass. I RESHMAN RECEPTION. A large number of students attended the reception given in honor of the Freshmen, Friday evening, March 22. The usual Thousand-Mile Walk, was the first affair on the program to enable the students to become acquainted with their dignified superiors (?). Speeches were made by Prof. Green. Prof. Hill, Miss Elliott, Miss Simpson and Miss Solomon. An interesting feature of the evening was a reading by Miss Sarah Feinberg, a clever elocutionist and a member of the Freshman class. The Freshmen were given green ornaments and bows by the upper classmen. After a social time, dainty refreshments were served by the committee of which Ellsworth Thomas was chairman. The June Seniors will begin (heir series of parties at the home of Miss Abigail Holt in Riverview the evening of April 5. 63 SEASON or U I 7-’ 1X. At tliis critical time when scholastic and collegiate athletics play a prominent part in conditioning American boys both mentally and physically, for the greater, more consequent contests of war, it is the privilege of Beaver Falls High school to feci proud of her athletic record, especially in view of the successful season now drawing to a close. During the years in which our High School has participated in interscholastic athletics, she has established for herself an enviable reputation by producing teams of championship caliber in every branch of sport. Our school is noted, not only for the physical prowess of the athletics, but also for the spirit of courtesy and fair play that prevails among spectators and players alike. Football in particular has always been enthusiastically supported by the student body and friends of our school. The 1917 team, under the leadership of Captain Fred Loeffler. will be remembered as one of the best teams that ever represented Beaver Falls on the gridiron. It earned this distinction by winning the championship of the Beaver valley and the members of the squad that accomplished this feat deserve special mention. The backfield, in spite of its handicap of lack of weight, was especially aggressive. Straight football prevails as a rule and the ability of the bocks to hit the line accounted for a majority of the touchdowns made during the season. Ellis- Thomas at quarter, has the team well in hand at all times. The way in which he ran back punts in the championship game had much to do in deciding the winner. or, The Tiger Howard McCandless at right half was perhaps the most consistent ground gainer on the team. “Howdy” was usually called up to take the ball across for a touchdown. Hawk and Houston suffered injuries that kept them out of several games, however, Hawk was able to play in the last two games and the effect of his return was noticeable. The need of an experienced fullback was apparent and various experiments were tried by the coach until the return of Sampson made it possible to shift Smith from guard to fullback where he continued his good work. Hamilton and Windrow were noted for their speed in skirting the ends for long games. The inability of the halfback to break up forward passes in the early games, was a source of much concern to the coaches. This weakness was soon overcome to such an extent that the strong Butler High team, famous for this style of play, completed only one pass while our touchdown in that game came as a result of repeated intercepting of passes. The success of the backfield was, in a very large measure due to the fine work of the line. The team had, in Earl McCandless and Pettier, a pair of ends second to none in scholastic circles. “Puge’s” work was appreciated so much by his team mates that they elected him captain for next year. The work of Captain Loeffler, all-scholastic tackle, featured every game in which he took part. The other tackle position was filled by Wilson who, although it was his first year at football, won a place on an all-scholastic team picked by a prominent Pittsburgher. Sampson was welcomed back to left guard just before the Wilkinsburg game and was one of the mainstays of the line for the remainder of the season. Jones, at right guard, played his first year of football. From the first game he played like a veteran and could always be depended upon to open a hold in the opposing line or to stop plays coming through his position. A center can do much towards making or moving a team. McGoun, in spite of his injurires, played a steady and consistent game. His accurate passes added confidence to the back field and in backing up the line he was especially alert in deciphering plays. Shoemaker, McGrew and Ague were dependable substitutes who, no doubt, will take their places as regular linemen next year. Taken as a whole, the line was characterized by its 66 TheUger ability to hold at critical stages of the game. This ability was shown more than once when the slightest yielding would have resulted in a defeat. Special mention is due the members of the second team for their spring of loyalty to their school and team. They made possible the scrimmages that were so necessary for the first teams success. The experience they gained will be valuable to them when the time comes for them to perform on the varsity. It is the good fortune-of the athletes to have in their midst one who is typical of the athletic tutore of our school. A coach possessing all the qualities of a gentleman and capable of imparting knowledge of athletics to others. Mr. Heckathorne has been a model example to the boys and his influence off the field has been appreciated no less than his athletic instruction. He deserves special credit for the manner in which he handled the difficult football situation and for the final success of the team in winning the valley championship. The schedule arranged by the enterprising managers, Messrs. Schaefer and Hill, was a particularly difficult one, including exceptionally strong teams without as well as within the Western Pennsylvania Interscholastic League of which Bearer Falls is a member. In recent years, the basket ball floor has been the scene of the best display of Beaver Falls High School prowess. Again, as was true in the season previous our five was a strong contender for the championship of Western Pennsylvania. The 1917-18 team was a fast aggregation, exhibiting a veteran knowledge of the game and the skill of a college quintet. The positions were filled by men familiar with their duties and able to meet the requirements. Loeffler, at center, is aggressive, guards well, and is an accurate shot, leading his team. The fall and winter athletic seasons of the school year of 1917-18 as recorded, are especially gratifying to those who are interested in the welfare of our school. At this time of writing but light practice has been attempted in baseball, track and field athletics, yet before the conclusion of the term, fresh laurels will doubtless be added from these sources. Satisfied with our past record we look forward with hope to the future, confident that the same high standard will be maintained, and secure in our belief that the achievements of past teams will be equalled, if not excelled, by their 67 successors. FDOTBA The Tiger REAVER FALLS H. S.—GROVE CITY H. S. In the opening game of the season at the Public School field, Beaver Falls High School defeated Grove City High School 25 to 0. Beaver Falls gained almost at will and were held for downs but a few times. Thomas made the first touchdown on a 10-yard run around the end. Later Emory fumbled on Grove City’s goal line and Jones fell on the ball for the second. In the latter part of the second quarter, H. McCaiulless made the third touchdown, taking it over from the 10-yard line. Beaver Falls failed to score again until about two minutes before the final whistle when Hamilton took the ball across the line. When the whistle blew Beaver Falls had the ball on Grove City's 30-yard line. The lineup: BEAVER FALLS. H. S. GROVE CITY H. S. E. McCandless................L.E......................

Ellwood, although much lighter than Beaver Falls, held them to six points and endangered Beaver Falls’ goal line in the last half. In the second quarter Beaver Falls made a touchdown, but failed to make the goal. Although they made good gains through the line, they always failed to put the ball over when they got it close to Ellwood’s goal line. 70 THE TTger Owing to the weight of the Beaver Falls’ line, Ellwood could do little in that place.

The Cable to that goat did say, “Your doom is cast, you die this day,” He led him to the railroad track And there he tied him on his back. The train it came, the whistle blew, The goat, he knew his time was due, When, with an awful shriek of pain, He coughed up the shirt and flagged the train. HOW SHE MANAGED. She had tried in vain to get the telephone, but the other parties were using the line. The last time she heard one woman say: “I have just put a pan of beans on for dinner.” She tried later but the women were still talking. Exasperated, she broke in crisply: “Madam, I smell your beans burning.’’ A horrified scream greeted this remark and then she was able to put in her call. 89 The TIger THE NOBLE WEAKER SEX.
