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

HISTORY ( r THK CLASS OF 1918 JUNE DIVISION. 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
