Dis-interest became so prominent in some cases that it demands attention. It is true that this is the initial year for such contests, but at the same time this would not warrant absolute indifference on the part of the student bodies. The plan of the contests provides for each school to be represented by its particular literary team and the various meets are scheduled throughout the valley towns. The county is divided into two sections, thus providing a field for great rivalry and a supposed impetus to the supporters of the various teams. All this has had little or no effect upon the people, and as a result invites investigation. Can it be possible that the High School pupils and outsiders are not in favor of this plan? That is a very grave question. It seems absolutely ridiculous to even consider such a question at the present stage of civilization. Boys and girls, and even parents who do not value their community and its welfare any more than this, are certainly far from good and loyal citizens. There can be no doubt as to the benefits derived from the present plan, and as a result present conditions will bear the closest scrutiny. Perhaps the pupils of the various High Schools do not realize the value of their support. This in all probability strikes nearer the point. Is not any team a High School puts on the field of action, whether it be athletic, literary, or academic, deserving of the unbiased support of the student body? Furthermore, is not such a team justified in demanding such support? The support which the athle- 40 tic teams of the various High Schools receive and have received in the past cannot be censured; in fact, the two stand out in marked contrast. This fact remains only too evident, and is undoubtedly a disgrace to the school and community. We may well spare the community some embarassment by removing the previous question, but at the same time we will briefly consider another perhaps equally disgraceful. Can it be possible that the rate of admission is too high? This question may readily be answered negatively. The rate of admission has not exceeded twenty-five cents, and some cases has been as low as fifteen cents. People willingly pay thirty-five or fifty cents to view an athletic contest, which they desire to see. Why should fifteen or twenty-five cents keep them from enjoying a literary contest? This question in turn leads to another, which is perhaps the most important and most effective. An old adage says, “Where there is a will there is a way.” Perhaps in this case it is the will which is lacking. The people evidently view the contests as tiresome and as a result do not care to attend. Even though this may be the case, people should have such an interest in their community and its betterment that they not only attend, but also induce their children to do so. If this alone is the cause, it may easily be remedied. People may be brought to understand the great value of the contests as well as the amusing phases. This coupled with the knowledge that the team desires their support should certainly serve to create a newborn interest. An excuse may be offered at present. It is a new venture, and perhaps has not existed long enough to arouse the proper interest. However, it may well be overlooked this year, when there are better indications for the future. Proper advertising and careful consideration in the schools should have untold effects in the future. Why not commence now? It is a great benefit to everyone. JAMES M. BARNETT, ’22. BENEFITS OF A CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL With each succeeding year the enrollment of Beaver Falls High School has been continually growing. As the attendance has increased the school has become more and more crowded, until the conditions have finally come to the place where they necessitate a change. Several plans have been proposed by which these conditions can be remedied. One plan suggested, provides that each district maintain its own Junior High School, but unite with the other districts in building one 47 large central High School. Another provides that each district take care of its own High School. The plan which meets the approval of the most prominent educators, and the one which seems most likely to prove satisfactory, is that of building one central High School. A central High School would form a bond which would aid in uniting the smaller districts into one large progressive community, for the community as a whole cannot prosper while it is divided into small separated districts. This would eliminate the petty rivalries which dominate smaller schools. There is need for co-operation in building one large school which would be a pride and an asset to any community. A large school not only offers a more complete and varied course of study but provides a more efficient force of teachers. It is continually enlarging, thus improving its curriculum. A central High School would be maintained at much less expense to the community than several smaller schools. The advantages of a large school are very evident, and it can easily be seen that “In Unity there is Strength.” As the old patriot has said, “United we stand, divided we fall.” MAUDE SLATER, ’23. DAYLIGHT SAYING To the man whose occupation or business carries him to strange cities, to parts of the nation with which he is unacquainted, there is no greater inconvenience than that caused by the nationally undecided question of Daylight Saving. The question has been decided by various cities and counties, but in many cases the decisions conflict. One place will strongly favor the idea, another oppose it. Some people say, “The farmers want it,” but on the other hand the mill men, to a great extent, reject it. It is admitted that upholders of each side of the question have imposing and impressive arguments upon which to rely, yet, how much more convenient to all classes would it be if the issue would receive national attention and be decided. Would it not be a boon to business and commerce? Consider the commercial traveler, who, in all probability, is obliged to make his trips to at least four or five cities in the course of one day’s time. He must make numerous inquiries so as to comply with the time in each city. This condition is met by any person who travels now and then. Therefore, why cannot the people of the United States, noted for their progressiveness, have this topic decided either affirmatively or negatively, but uniformly? GEORGE PAFF ’23. 48 The Beaver Falls High School Alumni Association has apparently gone out of existence. Certainly for the last five years nothing has been heard of its activities. It is not surprising that interest in such organization should have been thrust into the background during war times, in answer to more pressing demands. Those demands have been met; is there not now a definite place for some such organization in Beaver Falls? In at least two nearby towns, the High School Association takes an active interest in school affairs. One of these associations is at the present time showing its loyal interest by raising a fund for further improvements on the new athletic field. No such help is necessary, some may say. Others may insist that more necessary demands on their time make it impossible for them to assume any new responsibilities. True enough; so let us not consider for the present any such undertakings but think of at least one piece of work to be done—a work which can be best accomplished by such an organization as an alumni association. We hear much about making Beaver Falls a better place in which to live. To bring this about, unsatisfactory elements should be constantly improving. The schools are, in these days of compulsory education, one of the most active agencies for carrying on such a program. But schools can not function properly unless they are well equipped. Up to date equipment demands, first of all, enough school buildings that all students may be taken care of comfortably. Lack of space hinders efficiency; and that fact will have to be faced here in the near future. Public opinion is a very real factor that must be taken into consideration. Those in charge cannot proceed far without public support. Many voters, unfortunately, have in the past been only too willing to let others do their thinking for them; it is, of course, less 49 trouble. But it is also infinitely less effective than a community united in pushing through a definite program of improvement. The opportunity is before us who have graduated from Beaver Falls High School. We, who have been members of the alumni association, should stand ready to do our part; demands for time and money would be trivial. We must remember, too, that many more members are available now than there were five years ago; they have never had a chance to show what they can do. Let us ask these more recent graduates to join us. Let us first make ourselves more intelligent concerning these problems—problems which should be of interest to each and everyone, if we would have Beaver Falls progressive. Then let us help others to be more intelligent. Within the last few years, a decided increase has been noticeable everywhere in the percentage of High School graduates, who go on to normal schools, colleges or technical schools. Recent classes graduated from Beaver Falls High School have kept up with this general improvement. Colleges near here have been most popular, perhaps, but some have gone farther away. Many of our graduates are making a record of which we may be proud; some in athletics, others in their academic work. We hope, in the coming years, to see an ever increasing number of students who will go out, to strengthen, by their records, the good name of our school. ALUMNI MEMORIES Those were the happy times When we spent our days in B. F. High, We all flocked in when the clock struck nine To answer the roll-call and then gave a sigh For we were sure we were due to be late As ’twas often our terrible fate. Lessons, tests, teachers, crams. They formed a language all their own, And when put together, made quite a jam, They made us cough, and groan, and moan And when we got our monthly card To keep from tears we found it hard. 50 But all the days were not such hardships Sometimes the world smiles down on you You meet and renew once more old friendships You cast aside when you were blue; Which now seem dearer for their absence And within you cause a tinge of repentance. And then you shout to an old pal here And soon a kind friend answers you there Until it seems that the air appears To be filled and ringing with kindness and cheer. Those were the kind days we enjoyed, They made all care and anxiety void. But now those days of gladness are done No more do we tread the old stone steps; No more do we hear the echoes of hushed tones As we passed thru the halls with spirit and pep Ready for battles on field or in gym Feeling quiet sure that we could win. They are but memories now, t’is true But they hold remembrances dear To every alumni like me or you. We’ll never forget those days, don’t fear They held such a world of joy and content That we ne’er shall forget. We truly hope dear High School friends You’ll not put us into the dim dark past As you, your daily ways do wend. For you also some day will pass And then with us you’ll wish that even Though you’re gone you’re not forgotten. G. S. ’22. 51 in jHemoriam It is with the deepest sorrow that we record the death of Howard McCandless, ’21, on October 22, 1921. The news of his untimely death came as a great shock to the entire student body, and created a most profound impression on all of us. “Howdy” was a great leader in the athletic life of the school. He earned his letter in every one of the four rrajor sports of football, baseball, basket ball and track. A history of his achievements in these sports during his high school career would be superfluous, for practically every member of the student body is familiar with the details of his athletic prowess. The tragic circumstances of his death, so fresh in our minds, tend to obscure the pleasant memories of those days when he was one of us. May we, in the succeeding years, think rather of his proficiency in his chosen sphere of athletics, and may time confirm and strengthen our appreciation of his services to Beaver Falls High School. • • • • The joys in preparing for the coming of the New Year were turned to sorrow when on December thirty-first a tragic automobile accident caused the death of three out of the four occupants of the machine. Our school was particularly sad for one of the most popular of its pupils, Lois Myers, was one of the three who were killed. Just like the joy and gladness of a new spring day where all nature is a song, so is the influence of a bright and happy young person. And just like on a gloomy and dark day we miss the joys of the sunshine and wish for its return so when a life full of cheer is taken we miss its influence and are sad. Such were the sorrows of our school when Lois Myers w as taken away. 52 THE AMERICAN MERCHANT MARINE They that go down to the sea in ships that do business in great waters, these see the works of the Lord and his works upon the deep.” Many centuries ago, David, the great Psalmist, sang these lines. During all the years since they were written, and even before that time, men have been going down to the sea. Perhaps it was love of adventure that just led man to sail the sea or it may have been a desire to discover some means by which he could carry on trade with the people on the other side. At any rate, he overcame his fear, and bravely put out in his little vessel, probably but a log, hollowed out in the middle. Through the ages this primitive ship has developed into a mighty ocean liner, manned by a crew of hundreds, carrying a thousand passengers. The part that America played in the development of Marine transportation was an important one. For two centuries, the ship that flew from its truck an American flag, was considered a model of speed and strength. We read that as early as 1776, one-third of the entire sea-going merchant marine of Great Britain had been built or bought in America. Nearly all the men of the towns and villages along the Atlantic coast were engaged in occupations intimately associated with the sea. Many of the New England communities built and operated boats in which everyone in the town had an interest. If trade was good, the townspeople prospered, if not, they suffered. The natural result of such a system was that the entire country took a great interest in the merchant marine. The average boy waited impatiently for that day when he would be old enough to go to sea, to follow the same walk of life as his father and his grandfather. When the boys grew up with this longing to go to sea, to satisfy an inborn thirst for adventure, when their fathers were more at home on the water than on the land, is it any wonder that America forged to the head in affairs nautical ? The story is told that while Jonathan Carnes, an old sea captain, 53 was cruising: in the East Indies, he heard that pepper grew wild on the north coast of Sumatra. When he returned to Salem he told the owners of his ship of this tale. At this time, there existed great rivalry between the ships owners of that famous old port as to the size and value of the cargoes their ships brought home. Hence they had Captain Carnes set sail for Sumatra immediately. His crew consisted of ten men, his armament, four guns. In eighteen months he returned to America with the first cargo of pepper ever transported in bulk, upon which, by the way, the owners realized a profit of seven hundred percent. It was feats like this that earned for America the respect and admiration of other nations—half way round the globe and back, in a sailing vessel with ten men and four guns. In the War of 1812 was demonstrated again and again, the strength and courage of our merchant ileet. This war was mode up of a number of naval battles, the land engagements being negligible. These naval battles were not like those of today, when whole fleets of warships, destroyers and submarines meet in combat—they were battles between two or three ships, alone and unaided. I shall not attempt to defend privateering; it was at best, glorified piracy. Nevertheless, the records of the engagements of the privateers of the American merchant fleet of 1812 furnish some of the most illustrious pages of our nation’s history; for instance, the battle between the American privateer, the General Armstrong, and the British ship of the line Plantagenet, carrying seventy-four guns, the frigate Rota, of thirty-eight guns, and the war brig, Carnation. Trapped in port by the three English ships the General Armsti'ong repelled their attacks for a whole day, giving up on the reload day only when the three English ships stood in to sink her with their big guns. Although technically defeated, the American ship won the honors of the day. Two Americans were killed, and seven wounded, while the loss to the English was one hundred and twenty in killed and one hundred and thirty in wounded. This is just one instance of the glorious battles fought by the American privateers. Of course, a few of these armed merchant men were content to prey upon unarmed ships, readily striking their colors when attacked by a ship of their own strength, but on the whole, they were a staunch, dashing lot, fighting to win, but not giving up in defeat. The five hundred privateers of 1812 captured altogether thirteen hundred skips whose value with that of their cargoes amounted to forty million dollars—a record to be proud of. America may indeed be proud of her achievements on the sea in the past, but the records of today are not deserving of praise. Today the great liners of the Atlantic are of EnglisTr or French registry; Japan, in proportion to her size, owns more boats on the Pacific 55 than does America. No longer do we take that interest in the ocean and ocean commerce which between 1790 and 1860, led American sailors into every comer of the earth. At the present time the American people, as a whole, pay very little attention to political and industrial policies abroad. This is a great pity. By observing foreign policies and comparing our own methods with them, we can derive much good for our country. Would not America take more interest in the affairs of other countries, would not the nation become more broad-minded if her ships and sailors were scattered over the seven seas and in every port and harbor of the world? During the World War America readily responded to the call for ships. Large ship yards were constructed and men from every part of the country rushed to join in the task of building ships, steel and wooden, to bear our soldiers to France and to transport food and supplies to our allies. By this means were released those ships that we had been compelled to borrow from England and France for transport use. Yet at the present time hundreds of these ships are lying idle in the harbors of the eastern coast. There they swing at anchor, monuments to that spirit, rampant in America during the war, that knew no bounds and recognized no obstacles. These ships do not have to be a liability to our country, they can be a tremendous asset. Today, no one will buy them at the ridiculous price of twenty-one hundred dollars. If America would take more interest in the sea, if her children were taught more of the wonders of the deep, we would have more sailors, and if we had more sailors, we would have a greater merchant marine. Then, again might it be said, that to the United States belong the best sailors and the best ships. JAMES MURRAY ’22. MODERN FABLES A MODEL FRESHIE Once there was a Freshman who was over three feet in height. He had his schedule arranged and found the right rooms the first day of school. He never ran through the hall nor got under the feet of the Seniors. He never threw an eraser. He never had to go to W. A. G. for a permit because the clock was slow. He never resorted to sixth grade tactics, such as taking a wallop at an offending classmate. He did not regard his teachers as equivalent to a police force. General assembly bored him, and he never contracted the habit of loitering with a select few of the upper classmen about the bulletin board—but he died. 56 A UNIQUE SOPHIE Once there was a Sophomore who never chewed gum, nor lorded it over the Freshies. She wore middies and dressed her hair in a simple braid. Bed-time was 8:30, and any social event that interfered with this program was not favored with her presence. Now this Sophomore never cared to associate with boys older than herself, and when several of the Senior fellows wanted to arrange a “date,” she turned them down with her never-failing excuse of “lessons first.” She never wrote a note in class—but now she’s making angel wings. AN EXTRAORDINARY JUNIOR Once there was a Junior who did not claim his class was going to win the inter-class track meet. He openly admitted the scholastic and athletic superiority of the Senior class, and advocated charging his classmates $6 per plate for the Junior-Senior banquet. He never looked at a Freshman girl, and was very particular about the Sophs with whom he associated. He never cut a class in Phys. Ed. He never changed his course from the Classical to the Scientific. He never thought he made a hit with some of the teachers, and was always very retiring and shy when in their presence. He studied a great deal at night—but now lie’s taking lessons on the harp. A TYPICAL SENIOR (?) Once there was a Senior who was never late to class. She never wore her faded valentine to school, February fifteenth. She had a remote idea that rouge was a word meaning something or other in the French language, but that’s as near to it as she ever got. She never stopped to powder hei nose, in fact she very seldom carried a powder puff. She refused to have her hair bobbed, in spite of the fact that her parents wanted her to do so. She wasn’t at all angry when she failed to get in the Senior play, readily admitting that the girls who did gee a part were more deserving than she. She never went to dances on school nights. She always knew the assignment in French—but they don’t study French where she is now. L. W. I. ’22. In editing this edition of the Tiger, it is not only our intention, but also an obligation to Beaver Falls High School, to portray the various activities of our fellow students. We, the Tiger Staff, take this opportunity of thanking the faculty, the advertisers, and those who in any way have aided us in the successful discharge of our duties. 57 THE WILL TO FRIENDSHIP OR THE WILL TO HATE American public opinion defies analysis. What can account for the one hundred and forty odd years of antagonism for all things English shared so enthusiastically by a great mass of American citizenry ? To what are we to attribute this antipathy of a century and a half, this peculiar mania which has been termed Anglophobia? What justification exists for the undercurrent of aversion to English policy, customs and ideals that one may detect in perhaps every section of the United States? Why does the popular mind still cherish what Owen Wister has aptly termed the “Ancient Grudge?” It is an enigma. Yet, those who have investigated this sad state of affairs with the object of ascertaining its cause, be they ever so remote, seem to have several definite impressions as to the source of ill-feeling. They agree the most logical explanation for the prevalence of anti-British sentiment seems to be a lack of education on the part of the average American. By this is meant no further education in the history of Anglo-American relations than that provided by his elementary school histories. Now, if the average American has failed to supplement by further reading his earliest instruction in American history, it is evident that the accuracy of this one source of information has become the all-important factor. It was shortly after our entrance into the great world war that the peculiar inaccuracy of our school histories first attracted widespread attention. It was then that many Americans became acquainted with certain phases of our early history hitherto a closed book to them. They learned about the Revolution. How many of you gained the idea from school histories that England was one unit of tyranny and oppression, determined to stamp out the spark of liberty we had kindled? Quite a number, I will venture. No such thing. England was violently divided in sentiment about us. King George III and his party were fighting to saddle autocracy on England; the other party, that of Pitt, Fox and Burke, were resisting this, and their sentiments and political beliefs led them to sympathize with our revolt against George III. When we refused to submit to the Stamp Tax in 1766 it was Pitt who exclaimed in Parliament, “I rejoice that America has resisted.” In 1777 Horace Walpole wrote-“I rejoice that the Americans are to be free, as they had a right to be, and as I am sure they have shown they deserve to be. “It is foolish to assert that George III and Lord North, in their policy of oppression had the unanimous approval of the English people. And 50 is it not just possible that this Whiff opposition to the autocracy of Georffe III miffht have been partially responsible for the very feeble way in which England prosecuted the war? You recall the conversation of Faust and the history student. “My friend,” said Faust to the latter, who was growing enthusiastic about the spirit of the past ages,—“my friend, the times which are gone are a book with seven seals; and what you call the spirit of the past ages is but the spirit of this or that worthy gentleman in whose eyes those ages are reflected.” Whether we hold this view of history or not, it is clear that our so-called historians who have written for the schoolboy of today have infused a great deal of their own personalities into their chronicles. Why have they suppressed historic truth from a whole nation, and so deliberately falsified and distorted facts? The period including the Revolution and the War of 1812 is the heroic age in American history. It may be that the expanding and perhaps pardonable pride of the school historian, as he contemplated the achievements of that inspiring age, marred his vision. It is but natural that Americans should look back with pride upon those perilous days when the fate of the new nation hung in the balance. It is eminently proper that we should venerate the handful of brave and earnest men, who held liberty dearer than life, and won our independence. But let us see events in their proper perspective, where the progress of time has placed them. If we trace the true course of English policy toward the United States during the last one hundred years, we will readily observe that the masses of the English people have almost always been sympathetic toward us. From the very day this great class made its influence really count in the government, the latter has held one policy paramount—friendship with the United States. So diligently has the English government adhered to this principle, that despite innumerable disputes over boundaries, trade with the British West Indies and Canada, interpretation of the Monroe Doctrine, and the rights and obligations of neutrals, we have had an unbroken peace of more than one hundred years. The history of this period is rich in incidents which show England’s sincere desire for the maintenance of peace with the United States. Many times a break has been imminent, only to be averted by the forbearance and good sense of her government. Often our willingness to make concessions saved the situation. But during all the years it has gradually become apparent that the fundamental aims of the two nations are the same; their interests mutual; their ideals of statesmanship much alike. 60 This unity of thought and purpose was further strengthened in that splendid era of co-opcration after the United States entered the World War. Following the conclusion of peace and amid chaotic world conditions, the leaders of Great Britain perceived the three fundamental obstacles to complete accord with American policy. We find them all represented in the pages of contemporary journalism of a year ago—The Anglo-Japanese Alliance, the Irish Question, and the unchallenged supremacy of British sea power. Pursuing her principle of friendship with the United States, England has, in the last year, eliminated these three possible sources of antagonism. The Anglo-Japanese Alliance was scrapped at the conference of Premiers in London last summer. The supremacy of the sea was surrendered at the Arms Conference, one of the most significant sacrifices in the history of nations. The Sinn Fein element in Ireland was granted the Home Rule it demanded, and Ireland given the same status as the Dominions. Of course, the desire for American friendship was not the only motive that led Great Britan to take these radical steps, but it certainly was the prevailing one. “Friendly co-operation with the United States is for us a cardinal principle,” says Lloyd-George, “dictated by what seems to us the proper nature of things, dictated by instinct quite as much as by reason and common sense.” To these words may be added the opinion of General Smuts, one of the ablest and most brilliant statesman brought into prominence by the war. He says, “To my mind it seems clear that the only path of safety for the British empire is that path which she can walk together with the United States.” Now let me ask you, if there exists this will to friendship on the part of the English people, why should not the United States avail herself of this great opportunity to cement the ties that tend to make the two nations one? The time for getting together was never more propitious. A formal alliance is not necessary, nor is it advisable. It is simply a question of kinship of the peoples, the common language, and the similarity of the problems only serve to make the union more natural. If it were only possible to make the English people understand and appreciate the forces which form the mainstay of American civilization, and if it were possible likewise to make Americans appreciate the spirit of English civilization—its stability and culture— then however different we might be in our personal habits, in our customs and manners, we should not be far from the idea of the universal community. Let us n ake it possible.

All the programs thus far have been very well rendered and it is evident that the society is making marked progress. It is hoped that they will continue to improve in the work so well begun. BETTY MERRIMAN ’24. THU UN ASSOCIATED MOLECULE A molecule is a very small part of a body. In fact, it is the smallest living object known to man. Ten thousand of them, we are told, would make a mass as big as the point of a pin. An unassociated molecule is one separate, alone, all by itself. Any high school senior could tell you that. Now George Curtis was not yet a senior, so he could not tell you that he was an unassociated molecule, but he w’as one—beyond the shadow of a doubt. He was one, separate and disunited, with only a few real friends. He was even less than a molecule in the eyes of the greater part of his fellow students. So you see, the definition fitted George, or rather, George fitted the definition. Now, the question arises, “Why?” He was an average boy in every respect, not good enough to try for the school teams, nor bright enough to take a place as a shining light in his studies, never misbehaving to such an extent as to be called down or reprimanded, George was never brought before the eyes of the school. And worst of all, perhaps, he was afraid of girls. He shied at anything with skirts and long (or bobbed) hair. Thus it was that George faded into the background of high school life. In the spring of George’s third year in high school, his class decided to have a party in the school building. Now, George was not particularly fond of parties. As we have stated above, he was no social butterfly, but after much consideration and hesitation he decided to attend the affair as a final trial of the gay life. So Friday night found George, arrayed in his best, wending his way to the high school. The first part of the evening was not bad. A play was put on by some of his classmates, and two or three rather interesting games wrere played. All too soon, however, the dancing began, and George was as a fish, far up on the sandy shore. He retired to the edge of the crowd and leaning against a door, surveyed with cynical eye the swirling throng. Suddenly he realized that he was leaning against the door of the chemistry laboratory and that a forgetful janitor had left the door unlocked. Mechanically George entered the room, shutting the door behind him. He was afraid to switch on the lights, but since there was a street light just outside, he could see his w ay about the room. Remembering that he w as behind in the number of chemistry experiments performed, George determined to utilize this opportunity of catching up. He luckily remembered a little of the experiment from reading it over, so he gathered together the materials needed, putting two in a large flask. He wasn’t sure about the quantities, so he used a lot of each. He was attempting to produce hydrogen, so after heating it, he lit 64 a match and held it over the mouth of the flask. The result was rather amazing. There was a flash and a roar, due to the union of hydrogen with oxygen. George waited not to observe the effects of his experiment, but they were disastrous indeed. Windows were broken, apparatus was smashed, the whole room resembling the stamping grounds of a troop of Huns bent on destruction. No, George did not wait. He left headlong, or to be more correct, head first. A rather blackened, much astonished George alighted in the midst of the dancers, almost before the noise of the explosion reached their ears. Monday morning dawned, and George arrived at school trying his best to escape the notice of his fellow students. But it could not be. A band of boys gathered and triumphantly escorted him to the bulletin board, where was a note: “Classes in chemisty have been discontinued until such time as the damage done in the explosion of Friday night is repaired.” Now, indeed, was George a “lion,” a hundred hearts sang his praise, seniors deigned now to look at him, his whole day was a series of triumphs. “Yes,” he heard a freshman girl say to another, “that’s George Curtis you know', the boy that blew up the lab. What? Oh, sure I’ve known him for years, he’s an old friend of mine.” JAMES MURRAY, ’22. 65 SHAKESPEAREAN LITERARY SOCIETY President_____________________________James Barnett Vice-President___________________________Frank Brierly Secretary_____________________________Mabel Grosglass Marshall_________________________Ellsworth McPherson Reporter______________________________James Wasson This literary society was organized on December 15, 1921. Much interest was shown at the first meeting and since then the members have shown their willingness to participate in the program. The interesting programs which have been given at the meetings have shown the benefits which are gained by the performers. Also it is highly instructive for those not taking part to listen and gain some knowledge and entertainment. Besides benefiting the performer and the on-looker, it is a benefit to the school. A team chosen from a literary society which competes for honors with other schools gains prominence for its own school. As in athletics, our literary team should be a leader among schools and if the students give their whole-hearted support to the literary societies the talent in our school will be uncovered and trained. • The officers who were elected at the organization of the society to serve for the first term were: President_____ Vice-President.

The subject was introduced in the schools in the latter part of the nineteenth century. It filled a long felt want and is now being taugnt in most of the first-class high schools and industrial schools of the United States. In a large number of cases Manual Training is compulsory among the freshmen classes and should be more seriously considered by the upperclassmen. Manual training at the present time follows chiefly along the line of woodcraft. At his bench, the student becomes accustomed to the operation and use of the plane, saw, square, chisels, etc., which is of use to him in the walks of everyday life. This is one of the reasons why Manual Training is so popular in our school, simply because the student, in using the different tools, gets a practical knowledge along with the technical teaching. For instance, the student before beginning work on our article, has to draw a plan of the article under the direction of the teacher. Then in making the article he must follow the plan so that his article is made according to the specifications of the plan. He therefore, gets the technical teaching and the actual experience. Manual training is a very useful study for we can apply it to almost any science of today. To be a good civil, structural, or architectural engineer one must know wood-craft and at the student’s bench is the foundation of this craft. Then, manual training is a very interesting subject. It is the actual experience which makes it interesting for any topic, whatever it may be, is always more interesting if we participate in the actual making of an article than if we acquire the knowledge of how to make the article from a book. Therefore, summing up the achievements which the student has accomplished through his study of manual training, we conclude that manual training is not a secondary subject, but a subject which is 68 essential in our present day life, making it necessary that more time and greater efforts be spent upon the subject in order that the student may get a more vivid idea of carpentry, a greater confidence in himself, an advanced knowledge of nature and a broader scope of mind. We trust that in the near future, the school authorities will take a keener interest in carrying out the principles which manual training teaches, thus giving our men of tomorrow the teachings and experiences of this art which rightly belongs to them. WILLIAM T. ELMES ’22. PHYSICAL EDUCATION—A FAD OR A NECESSITY When will the Great American People awake to the fact that as a nation we are far from being physically fit? When will they throw ofT their smug complacency and begin to realize that physical education is not merely a fad, an innovation, but one of the most important of the sciences? Until a few years ago the advantages of this science could only be enjoyed in the larger schools of the country and few took advantage of it. With the war, however, came the none too flattering knowledge that many of us were physically defective. Some people pay no attention to the fact, while others seek for corrective measures. The army setting up exercises became popular as more and more people became familiar with them. Many high schools and colleges, which before had scarcely even considered the subject, now began to introduce physical education among their courses. Beaver Falls High was one of these and now after a year’s trial we already discern its benefits. Eyes art brighter, carriages are more nearly erect, and there is a real intense interest in the subject itself. On the street nowadays one may hear, “How was Physical Ed today?” or “Did you learn a new game this morning?” and the game with its accompanying thrills, is perhaps the keynote to this interest, though the drills and sports are equally popular. But now let us consider the science itself. Physical Education in its broadest sense means more than moving arms and legs, or coaching an athletic team. It includes moral training, personal hygiene, and the formation of a clean upright character. It teaches fair play, often at the expense of winning a game, and brings out leadership which, unless tested thus, had remained latent. In this class alone we are made aware that health, self control, self reliance, (59 fair play, reliability, duty, good workmanship, kindness, teamwork and loyalty are important factors in our career. So the next time you feel yourself lagging in Physical Ed class remember a few of these things and “Snap into it,” for not until we are in possession of a clean bill of moral and physical health, may we honorably lay claim to the title of Typical Americans.

Barnett On Saturday evening April 8, 1922, a French Club of about fifty-nine members was organized in the Beaver Falls High School. The object of this club is to promote better French in conversation as well as to create more interest in classes. Although there has been but one meeting thus far, all those joining are much interested and have signified their willingness to help to make the club a success in every way. L. C.

Sahli Vice-President___________________________Charles Howe Secretary-Treasurer_________________Harry McCandless On Thursday, February 9th, Mr. George Wootton, Boys’ Secretary from the New Brighton Y. M C. A., met with Myron Robinson, Harry Hagerman, Andrew Hann, Charles Howe, Harry McCandless, Joy McCandless, Walter Timm, Lyle Littell, Arthur Barnett, George Paff and Edward Sahli and organized the Beaver Falls High School Hi-Y Club. The above named officers were elected and the club started on what is hoped to be a successful career. The purpose of this club is to promote Christian ideals throughout the student body in every phase of school life. It also aims to develop good will among the students, cleaner athletics, better school spirit, and true sportsmanship in any branch of competition. Through the courtesy and aid of the Rotary Club, two delegates, Edward Sahli and Arthur Barnett, were sent to the Eighth Annual Older Boys’ Conference at Warren, Pennsylvania, held under the auspices of the Pennsylvania State Y. M. C. A. in conjunction with the Warren Y. M. C. A. Meetings are held every Tuesday at 4 P. M. in the High School Building, at which time the work is discussed and plans laid for future developments. E. A. S. ’22. I SENIORS The winter’s storms are over, The world is growing bright, The sun that left its southern moor, Tends toward the North its flight. And with it comes the Springtime, The buds and trees burst forth, In answer to its trumpet call, To drive the cold up North. Now, Spring herself well founded, Continues all her works. From now till when old Summer come Her duty never shirks. Welcome, oh lovely summer, Farewell to you sweet Spring, For with this coming season, The school bells cease to ring. Ah, Summer is the season For every girl and boy, And with her sunny pleasures, Doth add much to their joy. Yes, truly to you Seniors, She is the greatest host For of all people leaving school, You need her mirth the most. 74 Oh Seniors, you have finished, Your days of toil now o’er. We wish that we were one of you, With work and cares no more. These words from under-graduates Fall unheard on your ears. As you on eve of leaving school Can .scarce repress your tears. Indeed, are you so fortunate As other people believe. Or is it just a fancy, comes And doth their minds deceive. Your childhood days are closing. Grave future now is near. You look upon his fast approach, With trembling lips and fear. Now Freshmen, you are fortunate, You have but just begun, For three whole years you are carefree Amid great joy and fun. Then Sophomores, although you are But one year further on. Get what you can the next two years. For two whole years are gone. Beware there Juniors, you are next, Just one more year of work. Do what you can in this one year. Your duty do not shirk. But as for you, Oh Seniors, The world is yours to meet. Success may bless your talents. Though smile, if it’s defeat. Now Summer soon is over,. The leaves fast growing brown. With Autumn’s hardy, biting frost Now quickly tumble down. 75 The school term now has started, There is a Senior class. Oh yes, they are the Juniors, Moved up a step at last. But yet methinks there’s something wrong, The answer’s what I fear, There are strange people in the school, And old ones are not here. Now, at last on feeble mind The explanations dawn, The new ones are the Freshman Class, The Seniors, they have gone. Yes, gone on life’s rough pathway, And though they slip and roll, Let’s hope they gamely bear their loads, And struggle toward their goal. JAMES BARNETT ’22. SMILE As you wander to and fro Smile, smile, smile. Spread good cheer where’er you go, Smile, smile, smile. Keep your heart all free from guile, Smile, smile, smile. Scatter sunshine all the while, Smile, smile, smile. —WILDA BEIGHT. There is a poet in the world But the world will never know it Since always for his work he signs Anonymous below it. If I could but a poet be I sure would let the whole world see And never would I care to sign Anonymous to any rhyme. 77 —EVA DENHART. Many is the time we did muse Trying to think of some ruse Whereby we could catch a thought That would develop into a plot. We thought of Spring and Summer and Fall, And track and tennis and baseball. We thought of play and work and school And all that comes to the thought of a fall. But all this thinking proved to be vain, For we could neither think nor feign. So now we will leave alone Those thoughts that dwell so far from home. THE BOLSHEVIK I BLUES Sometimes I have ambition, Which lasts for half an hour; But usually it’s just a bud That never comes to flower. One day I wished to write a book The world a tale to tell; But when I got my pencil out The inspiration fell. Oh sure! I’d like to have some work. An easy little job, Until I place my lazy hand Upon the office knob. I wished to be a garbage man Until the truck came near, And then I lost my strong desire But why, to tell, I fear. Of all desires but one stands out. I never take defeat At that great time, that glorious time, The time for us to eat. 78 —GEORGE STARR. FAREWELL TO THE FARM The coach is at the door at last; The younger children, mounting fast, And young and old together sing; Farewell, farewell to everything. To house and lawn, and people dear, With whom we had so much good cheer. To hay and clover, tree and swing; Goodbye, goodbye to everything. To chick and duck, to cow and sheep, To dear old Shep, and pond so deep. To haymows, where the cobwebs cling. Farewell, farewell to everything. Crack goes the whip and away—so fast. If those good times could only last. Now round the woody turn we swing, Goodbye, Goodbye to everything. —MORTON CLARKE. ONLY A SMILE ’Twas only a smile that was given But how much joy it did bring To a soul that was filled with darkness Instead of the sunlight of spring. ’Twas only a smile that was given But it cheered a soul that day And scattered the sunbeams of heaven Upon its darkened way. Who holds the key to the box of smiles That cheers the darkened soul And brightens up the weary miles Towards their earthly goal ? What do smiles cost to the one who gives them, Can they be bought with gold? I’d give my earthly treasures then One box of smiles to hold. 79 I’d scatter them all along the road Scatter them freely, too, Maybe a few would lighten a load Maybe that weary one—you. So if you hold a precious key To a box of joy giving smiles Unloose the lock, give the key to me And all the while scatter smiles. —KATHRYNE RHODES. A PICTURE As I walked into the woods one day, When the world was dressed in white, I was filled with a feeling almost gay, For my heart was very light. Mother Earth was covered with snow, And the trees and the branches were too, And the sun in the sky was sinking low, And the heavens above were blue. —GRACE WALSH. HARKEN! SENIORS Hail! Seniors, Hail! come one and all To laugh and weep and walk and dance Thru these old rooms and spacious halls, And give each object a last loving glance. We’ll sing our High School song once more Before we reach that farther shore Where stand the college graduates O’er all the world, thruout all states. We’ve reached the end of High School days, With a class of eighty-three, And we’ll give our knowledge and our ways To help this nation of men, born free. 81 Our class is big and extremely fine, You’ll find we have artists and writers and singers It’s just like going thru a good gold mine As they’re all fine fellows and sunshine bringers. Our class officers are all quite nice, But, you know, they have to worry, To find a way, us to entice To attend our parties, there’s one now, do hurry! Hail! our teachers, Hail! once more. To you we owe our knowledge, our start, For ’tis you who have opened that great door, And we thank thee all, each from his heart. Farewell! Schoolmates! now we must go But we’ll leave the rest to you To finish with honor, each step tho slow And help our country, Oh! be true! —FRANCES MacPHERSON ’22. MEMORIES Over a hill by a little brook Where the rippling water flows There stands a house which is dear to me, More dear than anyone knows. When I look at the side of the house I think Of my brother and sisters three, Who played there during their childhood days And were always so kind to me. When I look at the front of the house I can see As if in a wonderful dream My father and mother who sat there once And, Oh how their faces would beam. But time has passed and troubles have come And I see them now no more But we know that some day before very long We shall meet on that other shore. 82 —MARGARET WRIGHT. THE RECRUIT Look at Danny Bingle He just knocked a single. See the way he races When he steals the bases. See him running lightly by, As he catches the high fly, And next his wonderful peg home, To nip the man who far from third did roam. —VICTOR BOHDEN. CONSOLATION It is better to fail than never to try For many things could be worse, If I thought not so, as you no doubt know The world would be minus this verse. —GEORGE STARR. A TOAST TO THE CLASSES Here’s to the Freshman So small and so weak There’s chance for growth So don’t be so meek. Here’s to the Sophomores So giddy and bright Mentally and physically They think they’re just right. Here’s to the Juniors Whose pep is arising To such a degree That it’s really surprising. A toast to the Seniors We must not forget And always remember The standards they’ve set. 83 J. McCANDLESS. SEASONS OF LIFE When as children we start on the journey of life Happy, Carefree, with joy most sublime, And we look up to others for help and aid ’Tis then only life’s sweet springtime. Then the light in our eyes and the sweet winning smiles That lighten all tasks and all woes Reveal that the pleasantest season of life Is the summer, the time of the rose. But the years as they come and the years as they go, Bring some sorrows and joys to us all And the traces of care left on face, and in hair Show that summer has slipped into fall. Then the trembling hands and the enfeebled knees And the eyesight that once was so clear Now is dimmed by the years and the white hair, to us Brings the message that winter is here. —WE WONDER ? ? OUR TEAM “Whitey Littell,” our champion star, Can’t be beat from near nor far. Then “Smoke,” the captain as you see, He is an athlete true, say we. “Skinny” and “Jake” two rather thin lads, While playing they forget their fads. For they have their minds upon their prey, And hope to be victorious and shine, some day. “Dutch Timm” also, has his place You’d think he’d hate to spoil his face And “Chuck Howe,” the bashful boy, Goes after a game like the siege of Troy. “Morton” and “Claire” are two faithful subs, They both can stand the knocks and rubs. “Andrew,” “Mott,” and “Garfield” are also true Such a team, and such boys are very few. 84 —RUTH F. BUCHER. J am a babbling brook, In many a field I run; With music into shaded nooks That e’en the light does shun. My life is not as long As one would seem to think For winter breaks my merry song And then I freeze to the very brink. But then, I guess it’s for the best, For me to have a well earned rest, For then when spring time rolls around, The meadows will in joy abound. —RALPH JANNUZI. We’re a class that is jolly Though a class that is small, We all adore springtime And studies and ball. We’re always examples Of wisdom, so bright, That when we start shining Say—put out the light. We’re always ready For lessons and all And we don’t do talking Out in the hall. At general assembly We’re quiet as mice And teachers remark And say, “Very nice.” For such are examples That credit the school; Gives deserving praise To the teachers’ stern rule. TO ENGLISH LITERATURE Oh literature of England, Pray, what tribute can we pay To thy many great contributors For years and e’en today? We recognize thy power, Yes, we recognize thy sway, Which have grown and grown for centuries, Until the present day. What great aid you have given, Not one man would you spurn, And yet no doubt by doing this, You benefit in turn. Suppose your benefactors, Would no more interest show, Your chain of knowledge then would break, Your grasp much weaker grow. And now ’tis plain your duty To this great world of ours, To open up your mighty soul Just as the summer flowers, Reveal themselves before the sun, With mingled joy and mirth, And with their sunny radiance, Lend splendor to the earth. Suppose when men had need of you Sought access to your might, You’d slowly then withdraw yourself Refusing them your light. Ah, never act so selfishly, You may have reached your prime, But what all great men give to you You must impart in time. As hour by hour and day by day The time goes flitting by, Build up yourself whene’er you can, Your goal be but the sky. 86 Collect the good of every age, And all the great men too, And then when earth has need of them, She’ll quickly turn to you. And when in need, she’ll find you, Your great vast wealth unfurled, A benefit to minds of men, A message to the world. J. M. B. ’22. MOUNTAIN SCENERY The mountains this morning are wondrous to see, With their tops in the clouds all covered with snow. And pine-clad the slopes that seem calling to me, Where the deer may be seen, as like shadows they go. The valleys are shrouded in gray, fog-like mist, That billows and rolls as the waves of the sea; But the streams that flow downward wherever they list Come from summits as pure and as white as can be. —LEWIS HELMICK. MY WISH I wish I were a Senior With all those Senior airs Life then would be more cheerful All free from High School cares. For when I was a Freshman I thought of the coming year When I would be a Sophomore And forget my Freshman fear. So I’ve marched through all these years And now have come at last To that great land of Juniors And the end will come too fast. 87 —M. ETHEL CARNES. BEAVER FALLS HIGH SCHOOL RADIO CLI B RADIO STATION 8BSP President______________________________________William Siemon Vice-President_________________________________Maurice Stein Secretary_________________________________________John Hoop Treasurer________________________________________James Wasson The Beaver Falls High School Radio Club was organized for the purpose of instructing the members in the operation of wireless telegraphy and telephony. At the first meeting of the club this year only a few of the old members were present, but there are now over twenty-five members. The membership of the club is divided into a junior and a senior class. Any pupil above class two in the high school may become a senior member by passing an examination similar to the government amateur operator examination. The officers of the club for the first semester were: President________________________________Maurice Stein Vice-President__________________________________Dorothea Javens Secretary________________________________Donald Zarle Treasurer_________________________________________Hughes McClure Each week one of the senior members explains the operation of some part of wireless apparatus. On certain evenings during the week our instructor, Mr. Graham, gives code practice to any members desiring it. This instruction is very helpful to members who desire to erect a station of their own. Several improvements have been made this year. The purchase of a new storage battery, a two step amplifier and the erection of a longer receiving aerial has done much to increase the efficiency of the receiving set. A government license has been obtained for the sending set and the appearance of the station has been greatly improved by installing the transmitter in a panel. Five of the present members of the club have amateur operator licenses and are permitted to operate the sending set. With the receiving set we are able to hear the radiophone broadcasting stations at East Pittsburgh, Detroit, Schenectady, Washington, Newark and New York. S9 J. G. H. ’23. FRESHMAN RECEPTION On Friday night, October 1, the Freshman Reception was held. The Freshies turned out in full force and the upper classmen soon won the confidence cf the timid little things and made their acquaintance. The feature of the evening was the Minstrel Show in which Art Barnett, Bob Henderson and the Merriman boys starred. After the show a fine lunch and dancing were enjoyed. At eleven o’clock everyone went homo after having an enjoyable time. This was considered a rather late hour to keep the Freshies from their rest. GHOST PARTY On the night of October eleventh, the Seniors assembled at the home of Lee Merriman for a Ghost Party. Many of the members had quite serious accidents getting there. Robert Parks or “Andy Gump” fell into the garage pit while trying to don his ghost-like apparel and Lee lost his girl in the crowd. The home was beautifully decorated in Hallowe’en colors and presented a weird scene. Dancing and games were enjoyed during the evening and refreshments were the best ever. Lee proved to his class that he is a fine host. THE JUNIOR PARTY On the evening of November the twelfth, the Junior classes assembled for a grand and glorious time. Games, music and dancing featured the evening. A delicious lunch was served and everyone departed with the feeling that he had spent an enjoyable evening. 92 FOOTBALL SQUAD TREATED On December 12th, the football squad and the two coaches were entertained at a theatre party by Mr. W. W. Hayward, at the Regent Theatre. The boys gieatly appreciated this treat by one of their loyal supporters. FOOTBALL BANQUET The letter men of the football squad were entertained at a dinner, given by the high school faculty, in the gymnasium, Thursday evening, December eighth. After a delightful banquet had been enjoyed, speeches were made by Coaches Heckathorne and Black. Captain “Skinny” Hamilton, and Acting Captain James Reese. Mr. Pollock of Geneva College then spoke on “The Cultural Side of Athletics” and Mr. Gensbigler told of the success of the team for the year. Miss Gertrude Huff of Rochester, gave several readings which were enjoyed very much. Wells Rayle also played several selections on the violin of which he is a master. Mr. Hutchinson of Beaver, accompanied by D. Jamison, sang several solos which were greatly appreciated by the boys. The faculty was voted good sports and everyone went home in good spirits. FOOTBALL PARTY The letter men of the football squad were entertained at a real old Colonial dinner at the home of Harold Dershimer. Everything was put on the table and when dinner was over the dishes looked rather bare. Captain Hamilton sat at the head of the table and started the speech making. Everyone spoke of the past and future football seasons and Acting Captain “Smoke” McCandless told of the coming basket ball season. After giving several cheers and singing the “Orange and the Black,” everyone adjourned to the parlor and enjoyed the after dinner smokes. At a late hour nine rahs were given for “Dersh” and the guests journeyed home. Mr. Heckathorne and Mr. Black were invited, but to their displeasure and intense sorrow, were unable to attend. CLASS PARTY DECEMBER 29th, 1921 On December twenty-ninth the Class was pleasantly entertained by Miss Carey at her home in Monaca. The home was beautifully decorated with the holiday colors and a large Christmas tree adorned with many shining ornaments occupied one corner of the parlor. Lee Merriman completely tilled another. The first thing Lee spied 93 was a sprig of mistletoe which hung in the center of the room. Although he endeavored to catch one of the young ladies napping, he was unsuccessful. Games and music were enjoyed and a feature of the evening was Leo Maretsky’s rendition of the “Hungarian Rhapsody.” An exciting moment occurred when someone in Monaca struck a match and rang the fire bell. Some of the boys and girls rushed out to see the fire, but came back with the news that it had been extinguished before they arrived upon the scene. At a late hour a dainty lunch was served by the hostess. June Tea and Mary Crombie disgraced the class and shocked Mary Roberts by eating more sandwiches than was proper. Some left early and some left late, but everyone voted Miss Carey the very best teacher and hostess they had ever known. NEW CASTLE BASKET BALL TRIP Friday night, February 3, two car loads of High School students accompanied the team to New Castle to witness the grand triumph. The. first car left Fifth Street at six o’clock and the second car, which carried the members of the Avon Club and their friends, followed soon afterward. Quite a serious accident occurred on the Homewood Bridge caused by the electric wires in the front end of the car burning out. The rooters finally reached New Castle. The game had just begun and the score was already 14-2 in favor of Beaver Falls team. The cars left New Castle to return home about 10 o’clock and everyone had a good time and enjoyed seeing our team defeat our opponents by a score of 46-16. JUNIOR AND SENIOR BANQUET The A Junior Class of Beaver Falls High School most cordially requested the presence of the A Senior Class at a banquet held in the High School gymnasium on Thursday evening, January 12, at 6:30 o’clock. The gymnasium was decorated in the colors of both classes and made a lovely big dining room. A sumptuous five course dinner was served by Miss Dambach. During the dinner toasts were given by Lois Flinner, Lee Merriman, Thomas Perrott, Harold Dershimer and Mary Crombie, with James Reese, president of the Junior Class, presiding as toast-master. The speaker of the evening was Mr. Moore of Geneva, who gave some impersonations from the play “Rip Van Winkle.” After dinner each of the Seniors was presented with a remembrance by the toast-master and dancing was enjoyed for a while. At 10:00 o’clock everyone started for home, feeling that the Juniors had proved themselves excellent hosts. 94 9 BOYS’ ANI) GIRLS’ TEAMS ENTERTAIN ROCHESTER After the Rochester basket ball games, the boys’ and girls’ teams co-opei’ated with each other and entertained their opponents in our Domestic Science Room. A delicious lunch was served the teams and their coaches, and some real sporting spirit was shown. The Rochester teams, even though they had been defeated by our teams, gave yells for them to show their good will. SENIOR CLASS PARTY The Seniors spent a very pleasant evening on December fifteenth at the home of Miss Esther Erwin, joint hostesses being Miss Esther Erwin and Miss Elizabeth Cronin. They all had quite a time getting there, especially Miss Carey, who grew very tired walking so far, and Gertrude Gregory who tried to enter the wrong party. Miss Carey and James Lytle enjoyed “Shadows.” Lee Merriman overestimated the strength of the piano bench and tried to sit on it. After a delicious lunch they all journeyed home, and no one doubts but what Sam Fair beat them all, even though they did empty the tank of his machine. BASKET BALL GIRLS TAKE HIKE On Saturday, December 17, at basket ball practice, the girls decided to take a hike out the new road to Darlington. The entire team gathered early in the afternoon and started out very cheerfully—but Alas!—it rained. They were not quite half way to Darlington when the rain began, but they continued, and when they reached Darlington they were a queer looking group of girls. They were invited into the home of one of our Darlington students for some eats, and later in the evening came home via the bus. JANUARY DIVISION The graduating class of January, 1922, held their Senior Dance in the Tamaqua Club rooms on the evening of March 8. About fifty couples, including members of the class and their friends were in attendance. Everyone reported a very enjoyable time. BASKET BALL SQUAD ENTERTAINED On Tuesday evening, February 28th, the basket ball squad was given a chicken dinner at the home of one of our loyal fans, Mr. Har- 95 ry Miller. A fine dinner was enjoyed by all present. “Chuck” made a specialty of noodles and “Skinny” Hamilton of sherbet. Only one of the squad failed to appear, the missing player being Walter Timm. It is said that “Dutch” has cast his line into the sea of love again and was not able to attend because of this. After dinner, cards and music furnished entertainment until the wee small hours of the morning. The squad voted the Millers real sports and gave them a hearty cheer. Our loyal trainer, Mr. Mickey Craft, was also present. He said he enjoyed the dinner very much. BEAVER FALLS-BRIGHTON GAME Thursday, March 9, we went to Pittsburgh to play the New Brighton Basket Ball Team at Tree’s Gymnasium for the championship of Section 4. Two special coaches were added to the 5:08 train on the P. L. E. and everyone turned out—both students and other loyal supporters of the team. Special street cars met the train and conveyed the rooters to the gymnasium. Both teams were at a disadvantage in this game for Brighton had lost Hartman, and Beaver Falls, Hamilton. At first it seemed as if we were at a greater disadvantage than our opponents, for the score at the end of the first half was 10-8 in favor of Brighton. Between the halves, our newly formed Hi-Y Club got busy and our boys surely did respond nobly. Just after the whistle blew beginning the second half, “Whitey” Littell rolled in some field goals and then the rest of the team followed, and played real basket ball, as was shown in the final score which was 28-19. All returned from that game in a jolly mood for we had won our chance to play in the finals against Braddock. The School Board then called a meeting and decided to give us the next afternoon for celebrating. All students met in front of the H. S. Building on Friday afternoon and paraded down to Eleventh Street where a cheer meeting was held. FRESHMEN RECEPTION On the evening of April 1 the Freshies were received into the High School by the upper classmen. Speeches from a few of the wiser infants of the young class, acting in the capacity of officers and leaders, were in order. The sage advisor of all young freshies, Bruce Carver, also gave a lecture and rendered a song entitled, “School Days.” Then the entertainment furnished by the “older students” took place. Art Barnett’s famous quartet went through a few entertaining stunts, and a pantomine play was performed, all of 96 which seemed to delight the “children” for whose benefit it was given, immensely. The eats were a great success and were followed by dancing. Even in this phase of the entertainment the “youngsters” enjoyed themselves, some dancing and one or two displaying their musical talent at the piano. The fun soon ended though as Mr. Gensbigler decided that it would be entirely too late for the “little freshmen” to stay any longer. The party was a great success. The entertainment, eats and the amusement of the “little folks” was thoroughly enjoyed by the upper classmen. THE GIRLS’ BASKET BALL PARTY The Girls’ Basket Ball Team held a party at the home of Miss Helen Maloney on March 17. Diversions of the evening were music, games and dancing. A color scheme of green carried out the St. Patrick’s day effect. Lunch was served and favors consisted of small basket balls filled with green candy. Those attending were: Coach Ackley, Maude Erwin, Edwin Snowden, Ruth Patterson, Arthur Barnett Alma Timm, Willard Brown, Ethel Davis, Clell Shinier, Helen Ewing, Edward Sahli, Evelyn Hamilton, Joseph Hovelman, Paul Hid-dleson. All the guests voted Helen a fine hostess. SENIOR PARTY On Friday night, May 5th, the Seniors met at the High School for one last good time together. A large number of the class was present and all joined in the fun. A splendid entertainment consisting of a Hawaiian Troupe, a quartet, and guessing games was put on early in the evening. Later on the eats were served and dancing was the main diversion after that. The music was furnished by the High School Orchestra. PHYSICAL EDUCATION EXHIBITION The Annual Physical Education Exhibition was given at the High School Athletic Field on Friday afternoon, April 28th, at 2:30 o’clock. The program consisted of folk dances by the grade children, gymnastics by the seventh and eighth grade boys, and gymnastics and tactics by the High School girls. The Moose Band furnished the music. A large crowd of people were gathered to witness the exhibition and seemed to appreciate it very much. This is the first year that Physical Education has been introduced into the Beaver Falls Schools, but it seems that it has proved to be quite successful. 97 SOPHOMORE PARTY The Sophomores assembled at the High School on Saturday night, May 6th, for their semi-annual class party. The students turned out in full force and a fine entertainment was furnished by members of the class. The chief attractions were a Japanese play entitled, “The Fish and The Kite,” and some selections by the famous High School Hawaiian Quartet. At a reasonable hour a dainty lunch was served by the committee in charge. All present spent an enjoyable evening. HI-Y HIKE The Hi-Y Club and their friends took a hike on Tuesday evening, May ninth. They journeyed far out into the country where they enjoyed a feast furnished by the committee in charge and returned by the light of the moon. All had a good time. FRENCH CLUB MEETING On April 8th, the members of the French Class met in the gymnasium of Beaver Falls High School for the purpose of organizing a French Club. After the election of officers a very interesting program was rendered: Songs—Au Clair de la Lune--------------------------------The Club Frere Jacques M.

The President of the Junior Class, George Paff, presided as toast-master and a fine banquet was enjoyed. Toasts were given by Mr. Gens-bigler and members of both the Junior and Senior Classes. After the banquet, the Senior Dance was the chief entertainment. This entertainment was enjoyed until a late hour and when the guests at last started for home, it was with the feeling that they had been well entertained. SPECIAL CHAPELS SENIOR DAY At a special chapel turned over to the Seniors, the January Division entertained the students for about an hour and a half. Scenes from the funr.y paper such as “The Gumps,” “Buster Brown,” “Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn,” and “The Katzenjammer Kids,” were represented. Lee Merriman surely was a scream as “Captain” in the Katzenjammer Kids.” A mock wedding was also staged with great success and it is rumored that “Gene” Daugherty is either a wonderful actor or has had experience. Many musical numbers were enjoyed and Clair Smith showed real talent in whistling. Oscar’s Oscillators, under the direction of Chamberlain White, gave a number of selections and the program ended with Aleah Maretsky’s singing “The Shiek.” A LITTLE STORY OF SENIOR DAY —The Funny Paper Series— The day we were waiting for, so long a time, Has arrived and we gaily go down with the line, A merry old chatter, the last we may hear Seems to welcome us merrily and bid us not fear. The Funny Paper Series that’s the name of the play, As w'e came out; there was a delay, Our old friend and actor, Mr. Mutt and his wife, Are found to be sick, after some strife. Dramatic talent is now displayed, Each in his part will not be delayed. All in a hurry, Sh! don’t you forget That line, it’s a hit, it’ll get them you bet. 99 Now it proceeds and all watch enthrall’d While the drams unfolds; And the audience spell-bound Watching intently, without e’en a sound. Our old friends Huck Finn and Becky and Tom, Also little Chester and good Buster Brown, All now have passed and seated await, The old-fashioned wedding which seems to be late. At last it is here, applauded by all The bride and the groom they’re vows utter now, Such sad solemn words, but soon there’s the ball, Why here’s some one else arriving; but how? —The Band— But who have we here, our famous old band, A band well known, the best in the land, The professor starts with a step and a bow, A sweet note is heard and all ready now. The music’s begun it sure has some pep, Each one with a smile is keeping in step, Now what a commotion and pray see o’er what? The fiddlist has fainted, and all become wrought, ’Twas a joke, ’twas a joke, we’ll pay him for that. And so it continues—now the Elegy’s heard, Now a sad change occurs, a violin’s mournful tone is heard, Heart rending, pathos, its appeal reaches our heart; There’s the director crying like a lamb, And tears freely flowing are checked with our hand. It’s over and ne’er did we know What a wonderful thing Gray wrote long ago, His elegy, true—a churchyard lay Was appropriate tune for Senior day. —C. WISNESKA ’24. MARCH 15 Wednesday morning, March 15, Mr. “Jimmy” Herron spoke in chapel on Friendship. He was introduced by Mr. Knott of the Ki-wanis Club and urged the students to make friends and be real true Americans. Everyone greatly enjoyed his famous “Ode to a Cootie.” We also had a very young visitor that morning who seemed to be gz'eatly interested in the speaking by the way in which he applauded. 100 MARCH 17 Friday morning, March 17th, the morning after our defeat by Braddock in the elimination series of basket ball games at Tree’s Gymnasium, Reverend Ellwood spoke to the student body in chapel. His attempts to cheer the crowd were successful and before adjournment, the school was in fine spirit and had just as much pep as ever. Art Barnett took charge and many yells were given for the team to show them that the school was still backing them. MARCH 23 Thursday morning, March 23rd, Mr. H. O. Allison, the Safety Engineer of the Beaver Valley Traction Co., and also a representative of the National Safety Council, spoke to us in chapel on “The Prevention of Accidents.” He asked for the co-operation of the students in this matter and also appealed to them to make up posters to help the cause. His speech was heartily received. On the same morning, the members of the Basket Ball Team, namely, Harry McCandless, Lyle Littell, Charles Howe, Lester Hamilton, Joy McCandless and Walter Timm were presented their letters. The School Board chose this means of expressing their appreciation of the fine work which the boys did during the basket ball season. SPECIAL CHAPEL Thursday morning, March 30, our devotional exercises were conducted by Reverend Tilp of the English Lutheran Church of Beaver Falls. After the devotional exercises, Reverend Ritter, acting President of Thiel College, Spoke on “The Necessity of a College Education in Life.” GRANT DAY The G. A. R. were the guests of the High School on U. S. Grant’s Birthday, which was April 27th. All who were able of the Civil War Veterans assembled in the High School gymnasium and the students presented a short program for their entertainment. The main features of the program were “Life of Grant,” read by James Reese; “Grant During the War,” by James Barnett; “McKinley’s Estimate of Grant,” by Clara Bert; “Governor Sproul’s Opinion of Grant,” by Willard Brown, and “Grant as President,” by Catherine Moltrup. Dr. Anderson acted as speaker for the Veterans and gave a fine talk on “Grant and Lee.” The students greatly appreciated having the G. A. R. with them on this day and hope they will visit the school again. 101 BANKERS All semester the students have had the privilege of hearing the Beaver Falls Bankers talk on “Banking.” There have been several of these talks at different times and all of them were greatly appreciated and enjoyed by the listeners. The speakers were Mr. Reeves, Mr. Sakraida, Mr. Bert, Mr. Potts and Mr. Bell. They explained the different phases of the banking system and gave the students a better knowledge of its working. The whole school appreciated the work of these bankers and extend their thanks to them.

Through the efforts of Chamberlain White and a few other industrious enthusiasts, a subscription was made by the business men and other fans which was sufficient to maintain a camp for about twenty-five players for two weeks. Coach Heckathorne made the most of the training camp opportunities and before school took up he had a fairly good combination whipped into shape. This training was a remarkable help in the season’s work. It practically put us about one month in advance of where we would have been without camp training. It is hoped by all that history will repeat itself this year and that a football training camp will become an annual affair. “Skinny” Hamilton, captain for the year of 1921, was barred from participation of league games this season and his energies will be greatly missed. The letter-men around which the team had to be built were: Harry McCandless, Charles Howe, James Reese, Harold Dersnimer and Mott Moon. 104 WOODLAWN—SEPTEMBER 24, ’21 As the opening attraction, the Woodlawn High Team suffered a severe mauling at the hands of the local eleven on the home field. The game was played as a preliminary to the Pitt-Geneva game. The strength of Coach Heckathorne’s team was doubtful at the beginning of the game, but by the end of the first quarter it was evident that he had developed a team of championship caliber. After the score had reached 27-0, substitutions were made, and the reserves also held the Woodlawn team and continued the good work started by the first team. Harry McCandless, “Whitey” Littell and “Chuck” Howe played best for the locals. Hiddleson was also able to make gains for the High School. From all indications Beaver Falls was expected to have a successful season. SALEM—OCTOBER 1, ’21 The trip to Salem proved successful for Beaver Falls for they handed the team of that place a walloping, 21-0. Salem was lighter than Beaver Falls but they put up such a strong fight that the visitors used all they had to score their touch-downs. Captain Hamilton, the real star of the game, was permitted to play in this game as it had no bearing on the W. P. I. A. L. standing. His runs through broken field and around ends was the undoing of the Salem team. Harry McCandless made a spectacular catch of a forward pass and scored one of the touchdowns; the other two being made by “Skinny.” Howe broke through and stopped plays before they were fairly started. Substitutions were made in the last quarter as usual. This is the third consecutive defeat Salem has suffered from Beaver Falls; even so, they showed themselves to be the best of sports. They placed at our disposal a physician’s service and were very willing to help us in any way. NEW CASTLE—OCTOBER 8, ’21 The New Castle game was played on “A Sea of Mud,” and it proved to be a very hard game for Beaver Falls. The New Castle team came to Beaver Falls rated as being the best coached team in this end of the state. They out-weighed our boys about ten pounds to the man and put up a stiff fight. The first half was in their favor entirely, they threatened our goal on several occasions and the half ended on the Beaver Falls 106 ten yard line. The second half was a little different for Beaver Falls came back with that never dying fight and with the help of a forward pass placed the ball over the opponents’ goal line. WILKINSBURG—OCTOBER 15, ’21 With two special cars and a twenty piece band, Wilkinsburg arrived in town confident of victory. However our boys showed a fight that could not be denied and won by a 14-0 score. The game opened with Beaver Falls receiving. The ball was advanced to mid-field where it see-sawed back and forth. Toward the last of the first quarter Wilkinsburg fumbled and H. McCandless recovered on the 30-yard line. Beaver Falls then gained first down on a forward pass and on another forward Littell went over for a touchdown. Littell kicked goal making the score 7-0 at the end of the first quarter. The second quarter was uneventful, neither side being able to advance the ball but Beaver Falls still held the edge. The half ended with the score 7-0. Wilkinsburg was determined in the third quarter to even matters but Beaver Falls always forced them to kick when they threatened. This quarter ended with neither team scoring. The Tiger came back strong in the last quarter and registered another touchdown when Dershimer intercepted a forward on the 18-yard line and Hiddleson crossed the goal. The game ended shortly after Whitey kicked goal. Score 14-0. The whole Beaver Falls team showed up well and the fans were proud to see them defeat one of the strongest teams of the Pittsburgh district. The lineup: Beaver Falls—14 Wilkinsburg—0 H. McCandless L. E. Hays J. Reese (Captain) - L. T. Soutter Schaal L. G. Kiser Howe - -C. Mnnn - R. G. Grassel Dershimer R. T. Love, (Captain) Timm R- F, J. McCandless Q Hiddlpsnn L. H Kearns Littell - -R. H Visley C. Merriman F. Touchdowns—Littell, Hiddleson. Goals from Toucrdown—Littell 2. 107 SEWICKLEY—OCTOBER 22, ’21 Beaver Falls suffered the first defeat of the season when Se-wickley handed them a 3 to 0 defeat on the latter’s field. Beaver Falls was a little too confident and even though Jim Reese, Littell, Moon and Javens were not in the lineup, Beaver Falls would probably have won had the boys shown a little more ability in handling the ball and not fumbled when they came within striking distance of their opponents’ goal. The only score of the game was made in the first quarter when Altaffer drop-kicked. Lineup: Beaver Falls —0 Sewickley—3 H MoCandless _ L. F. Lee MnKim L. T. Aston Sehaal L. n Hanable Howe _ C.

Anderson ROCHESTER—OCTOBER 29, ’21 It was a fine day from the weather man’s point of view but a poor one from the standpoint of the Beaver Falls fans when Rochester handed us a walloping, 35-6, before the largest crowd of the season. The game was featured by the end runs of Bloom and Hoel and by Logan’s line plunging. However, credit must be given to our boys for their great showing in the second half when they tightened their defensive and held their opponents to one touchdown while registering one themselves. The spirit displayed by the students of both Beaver Falls and Rochester was perhaps better than any that had been seen or heard for a good many seasons upon our field. The lineup.

BELLEVUE—NOVEMBER 5, ’21 Beaver Falls made the trip to Bellevue with the determination to finish the season with no more defeats and walloped the team of that town by the score of 19-0. Beaver Falls scored touchdowns in the first, second and third periods while their opponents never threatened to score. Coach Heckathorne substituted all his second string men and even they held their own with Bellevue. BUTLER—NOVEMBER 12, ’21 Following Bellevue’s downfall, Beaver Falls continued their winning streak by defeating their old rival, Butler, by the score of 7 t 0. Owing to the muddy condition of the field neither team was able to present their trick plays. The lone touchdown was made when Hiddleson intercepted a forward pass on the 20 yard line, from here it was carried over the line by the fine work of J. McCandless and Javens, Littell kicked, the goal making the score 7 to 0. This however did not daunt Butler’s fighting spirit, but the fine work of the Beaver Falls line made it of no avail.

Goal from Touchdown—Littell. 109 ELLWOOD—NOVEMBER 19, ’21 Beaver Falls travelled via Harmony Route to Ellwood to be held to a 0-0 tie by the Ellwood lads. The team was specially prepared for this game and Coach Heckathorne had a few foolems up his sleeve, but the weather disappointed them so only straight football was tried. With five inches of mud on the field and a continual downpour, this proved difficult at times. The game was for the most part in Beaver Falls’ favor and although they threatened Ellwood’s goal several times, a fumble occurred or the ball was lost on down. Beaver Falls was also very successful to break up punts. They kept the ball in Ellwood’s territory nearly all the time and forced Ellwood to kick from behind their goal on several occasions. Charles Howe and Jim Reese were the stars of the day in breaking up punts and tackling. SHARON—NOVEMBER 24, ’21 Beaver Falls High School hit their normal stride in the Turkey Day game against Sharon. The Sharon team represented the strongest high school team in that section of the state and they looked their part in their bright orange sweaters and their well balanced team. In comparative appearance, Sharon seemed to be the favored team but when the action started Beaver Falls easily outclassed the visitors. The old star, Captain “Skinny” Hamilton, and Harry Mc-Candless were back in the game and kept things moving. Skinny, with his end runs and broken field running, gave the best exhibition of football seen on our field this season and probably for several seasons to come, for this is his last year at Beaver Falls High School. Harry McCandless’ ability to break up end runs, run down punts and to catch and intercept forward passes, displayed himself as the best end seen on the local field this season. “Smoke” will be lost this year by graduation. Lee Merriman and Jim Reese played their last game for Beaver Falls and they finished their football career here by playing their usual steady game. In fact everyone on the home team played well and we had no trouble in defeating Sharon 25-0. Hiddleson made a spectacular run of 60 yards and we look forward to better things from this promising young athlete as this is not his last year in high school. Due to circumstances our team did not make as good a showing this year as in past years but in the earlier part of the season when the team was in best shape it did some wonderful work. Wilkins-burg lost its only game of the season when they visited Beaver Falls and New Castle went down in defeat on our home field. The other 110 games were not so hard until we struck a snag in Sewickley. This game was lost through over-confidence. Several of the regulars were out of the lineup but that was not sufficient excuse for the defeat. Rochester struck us like a cyclone when we were at lowest ebb and they, evidently, at strongest. This game had to be played with three of the most dependable men of the team out of the lineup —Howe, J. McCandless and H. McCandless. In spite of this our lads went in the last half and held the strong Rochester team to one touchdown while we made one ourselves. In the first half the morale was very low and a 35 to G defeat had to be suffered. Ellwood proved the next hard game and due to the muddy condition of the field neither team could score and a tie resulted. Sharon, winner of the tri-county championship in the northwestern league, ( was handed a 25 to 0 defeat when they visited our town on Turkey Day. They were large and well coached but nothing could stop the fleet Halfbacks nor could they get around the ends of our team that day. Play after play was broken up before it was fairly started. We had our regular lineup in the game the first time since the Wilkinsburg game. The result showed it. Our ends this year did wonderful work. Harry McCandless, although he didn’t take part in all the games this season, could not be outclassed, in our opinion, by any end in High School circles. We lose him by graduation. Walter Timm held down the other end in the earlier part of the season, but was switched over to tackle when a new prospect, Garfield Reese, was substituted for him in the Rochester game. In this game the small but hard hitting Reese won a permanent berth and seems to be real football material. The tacklers, J. Reese and Timm, filled their positions as best they could. J. Reese was handicapped by broken ribs the larger part of the season and could not be expected to show regular form. Although this was Timm’s first year at tackle, he did wonderful work. Schaal, L. Merriman and Moon held down the guard positions with the help of Young toward the last of the season. Lee Merriman was the bulk of defense, put into stop center rushes, and Schaal, although small, was always full of fight, Moon also proved effectual in stopping plays through the line. Howe, our regular center, played a strong and steady game. He is a heady player and has size to go with it. He will be a good leader for next year’s team as he was elected captain at a meeting of the letter men a short time ago. From all appearances he will be considered for an all-scholastic position for next year. Willard Brown proved an able substitute at the pivot position and will be with us another season. Ill Joy McCandless, a new man on the regular lineup, filled the vacancy of quarterback. He worked like a veteran and guided the team to many victories. Hiddleson and Littell, also new men on the regular lineup, filled the halfback position. Hiddleson made several long runs this year and his speed and headwork combined will make him a very valuable man for next year’s success. Littell, although fast, does not have the aggressiveness of the other half but he has a very valuable foot which has helped our way to victory in several of the games. It is thought that by his gaining weight he will be of greater help in the season to come. Javens and C. Merriman held down the position of fullback. Both are new men but have line plunging ability that has not been witnessed here for several years. They will be with us a few more years. Merriman can also use his toe. Some of the most valuable subs are “Don” McKim, who won his letters this year. He could play any of the three outside line positions well and filled the tackle position like a veteran on several occasions. This was his last year. Haude looks like the best material to fill a tackle position and will be here next year. McClain filled in in several occasions to an advantage. Kenneth Boulding, a substitute halfback and quarter, filled the bill on several occasions as well as a regular. Although we might say our record was not the best we had a very successful season. Material was worked into shape for next year and Coach Heckathorne will have a better team to put on the field than we had this year. Spring training will help the boys to handle the ball and football training camp next fall will top things off for an early start. In Coach Heckathorne and Mr. Black we have what makes up one of the ablest coaching staffs in High School circles. Hecka-thorne’s sharp eye notes the ability of his squad members and brings it out as few football mentors are able to do. Mr. Black handles the scrubs and develops men from the rawest material. Under these men we look forward to a most successful season for 1922. J. Reese Howe Schaal Moon Brown Timm G. Reese THE LETTER MEN J. McCandless Hiddleson C. Merriman Littell Javens Hagerman Rhodes L. Merriman H. McCandless Haude McKim Boulding ■ :.,J 112 The candidates for the 1922 basket ball team began their practice shortly after football season ended. The class games which were very interesting, gave the coaches a chance to pick out new material. From last year’s squad there remained Harry McCandless (Captain), center, who did remarkably well at the pivot position last year and was much cause for worry of every opponent. Lester Hamilton, a small and fast floor man on forward or running guard. Charles Howe, a stone wall on defense, who breaks up most of the plays coming toward his still guard. Lyle Littell, the fast white haired lad who has won much fame for his unerring accuracy in judging long shots and considered a sure shot while near the basket. Joy McCandless, Walter Timm, Mott Moon and Claire Merriman are very promising material. The stars of last year’s team, Howard McCandless and Charles Harvey will be missed greatly, but the season’s outlook is very good and Coach Heckathorne is confident that his material can be worked into a very strong combination with chances of going through the season with few defeats. ALUMNI—JANUARY 3, ’22 With such stars as LoefTler, Harvey, Braden, Wilson, Todd and Timmins playing for the “Old Timers,” the varsity opened the season with an easy victory. In spite of the fact that the alumni consisted of college stars, our school lads showed them a bit of very clever floor work ir. the way of passing and dribbling. This showed well the training that Coach Heckathorne has been giving his boys. From all indications we have a strong combination on the floor which will probably have another opportunity of running for high honors in the W. P. I. A. L. Harry McCandless may be picked as the individual star of the opening game with the two forwards, “Whitey” and “Jake,” running close seconds. Hamilton and Howe were hard to pass. Harvey, Loeffler and Braden played best for the “has beens.” The lineup: 113 Beaver Falls—40 Alumni—18 Joy McCamlless _____________F----------------Loeffier Littell _________________F----------------Harvey Harry McCandless ___________C----------------Braden Hamilton____________________G----------------Wilson Howe _________________G________________Todd Substitutions—Timm for J.

NEW CASTLE—JANUARY 6, ’22 In a very interesting game replete with thrills, Beaver Falls High defeated their old rivals, New Castle, on the home floor by the score of 29-23. All through the game Beaver Falls kept the lead and demonstrated their superiority by possessing the necessary punch to score when points were needed. New Castle could not break up the fine passing and dribbling of our boys which invariably led to scores. Harry McCandless and Littell were the outstanding stars for Beaver Falls, while Stone and Preston played best for New Castle. FREEDOM—JANUARY 10, ’22 Beaver Falls boys handed Freedom a 48 to 13 defeat at Freedom. Everyone was in good form and this coupled with clever team work caused the score to increase rapidly. Littell starred for our team, ringing up 9 field goals and making 26 in all. With Captain Harry McCandless in the game we probably would have done better but he was out on account of a slight foot injury which he received in the New Castle game. Timm and Howe played a wonderful defensive game, breaking up plays and returning the ball from the danger zone. The Freedom boys only succeeded in getting 2 field goals. The second team was substituted late in the game and they succeeded in scoring a few points against the Freedom regulars. The lineup: Beaver Falls—48 Freedom—13 J. McCandless F. Hamilton F.

ROCHESTER—JANUARY 13, ’22 Before a large crowd in the Rochester basket ball cage, the Beaver Falls lads marched away to another victory. The first half ended by a wide margin, 28 to 12. Rochester made only three baskets in this period and our lads rolled in eleven. Littell’s uncanny accuracy at finding the loop from most any angle stood out in this game in such a way as to promise great things before the season is over. Captain McCandless played again after resting his injuries received in the New Castle game. He caged three baskets along with three from Hamilton and Joy McCandless. Howe remained under our own basket and protected it well from Rochester’s floormen. The second team substituted for the varsity part of the last half and put up a good exhibition of basket ball. These scrubs give promise of good material for next year. Brokett and Exstedt played the best for Rochester. Beaver Falls—44 Rochester—18 J.

WOODLAWN—JANUARY 17, ’22 Beaver Falls High School easily defeated Woodlawn High on the local floor 47-15. This game broke the three-cornered tie between New Brighton, Beaver Falls and Woodlawn. But Beaver Falls and 115 BASKETBALL SQUAD New Brighton are still in a tie for the championship of section IV of the W. P. I. A. L. Littell starred for the locals, dropping in nine field goals. The playing of “Jake” McCandless and Captain Harry McCandless also featured and no limit of credit can be given to “Chuck” Howe for keeping the score of the opponents down. Hamilton could advance the ball the length of the floor at will. Herbert played well for the visitors. Beaver Falls—47 The lineup: Woodlawn— J. McCandless F. Jones Littell _F. Yonkers H.

As a basket ball floor it would make a good dance hall as it proved very slippery and hard to stand up on for both teams. As usual the fans accompanied the team on the trip. The first half ended 13 to 3 in Beaver Falls’ favor, Ellwood failing to score from any place but the foul line, due to the good work of our guards, Howe and Hamilton. The gaipe was made fast by the referee allowing not a second of time go to waste. Ell wood’s large center, Johnston, played best for Ellwood, scoring two baskets.

BEAVER—JANUARY 24, ’22 Beaver proved to be poorly represented on the basket ball floor 117 this season when the team representing that school was severely mauled at the hands of the locals. At no time did the visitors show any indications of making the contest interesting. They could not tally from the floor at any stage of the game due to the ability of our guards, and to their inability to get the ball long enough at a time to attempt a shot. Howe always proved to be on his post while Littell and J. McCandless divided honors with 8 field goals each. Harry McCandless played a great floor game and succeeded in caging 5 field goals. It was almost impossible for the Beaver lads to keep their eyes on Hamilton as he was far too speedy for them with his floor work and his dribbling. There was no star on the Beaver team although Watterson went through most of the motions. The lineup: Beaver Falls—65 Beaver—10 Littell _F. _ Watterson J. McCandless _F. Krop H. McCandless C.

NEW BRIGHTON—JANUARY 28, ’22 On account of the small gymnasium in Beaver Falls only a few, in comparison to the number who wished to see the most interesting game on the home floor this season, could gain admission. This was the Beaver Falls and New Brighton game. The game was featured by close guarding and fast passing. Garver played best for the visitors and seemed intent on keeping “Whitey” Littell from scoring, but in spite of this Littell dropped in a field goal. The second quarter started with a score of 2-2 and J. McCandless, Harry McCandless and Hamilton all rang up two-pointers and at the end of the half our lads led by a score of 15-5. In the last half Littell got his field goal and the game ended 23-14 in the locals’ favor. Captain McCandless played best for Beaver Falls and was ably assisted by the entire team.

NEW CASTLE—FEBRUARY 3, ’22 On the third of February two cars carried the Beaver Falls rooters to New Castle and saw the locals hand a crushing, defeat to New Castle, 46-16. The cars were a little late in arriving and many of the ardent supporters failed even to see the game as the team had taken a more dependable convenience on the Pennsylvania R. R. and the game was in progress when they arrived. It is estimated that a crowd of 2,100 spectators viewed what they expected to be a fast and close game, but they were sadly disappointed in this respect as Beaver Falls was in good form and walked away with the home team. The result was at no time uncertain in the Beaver Falls peoples’ minds after the first few minutes of play. The first half ended with more than a comfortable margin of 24-6 in Beaver Falls’ favor and after that a number of thrills were added by the excellent work of Littell, who succeeded in caging one while sitting on the floor. Hamilton and H. McCandless dropped them in from different angles and the second string men went in shortly after the last half had started and proceeded to polish off the victory. MUNHALL—FEBRUARY 7, ’22 A new team came to Beaver 'Falls to fill one of the open dates on our schedule, and proved to be no more difficult to defeat than the rest of our opponents. Their team fought hard throughout and it made an interesting game, although they were no match for the superior playing of the locals. Littell and Harry McCandless were in their usual form and Ferguson, the diminutive forward on the visitors’ team, played best for them. Howe ventured down the floor (a custom he does not practice, usually being content to remain at his post of duty) and caged a nice long field goal.

GENEVA RESERVES—FEBRUARY 8, 22 As several of our players were accustomed to the Geneva gym, it was no handicap for them to play on the Geneva floor. The passing and dribbling was good and it made an interesting game. The Reserves at no time proved dangerous. J. McCandless played a wonderful game, dropping in 9 field goals. The second team took up the regulars work in the last quarter and continued their good work. Wilson and Tippen played best for the Reserves. The lineup: Beaver Falls—46 Geneva Reserves—13 J.

Referee—C. B. Metheny. ROCHESTER—FEBRUARY 10, ’22 With Rochester as their opponents, Beaver Falls cagers easily marched away with another victory. After Captain McCandless became accustomed to Brockett’s size, it was no trouble for him to drop the ball through the hoop with increasing regularity. The second team took the varsities place in the last part of the first half and succeeded in caging several baskets on the visitors. Harry McCandless did well to cage 5 field goals. His ability to twist out of another’s grasp and twirl the ball in from almost any angle was shown 120 in this game. Littell missed two under the basket but made up for it in long ones, getting 6 two pointers. Joy McCandless caged 5 field goals, three of them from a very difficult angle. Hamilton added 4 field goals and played a clever floor game. Howe as is characteristic of his playing stayed in his position, allowing no plays to pass. Brockett was the shining light of the Rochester team, scoring all of their points with 5 field goals and 11 out of 21 fouls. Good sportsmanship was at all times evident on both sides.

WOODLAWN—FEBRUARY 14, ’22 Due to the weakened condition of Woodlawn’s team, through some disagreement between the players and the manager, the contest proved to be more one sided than it would have been otherwise. The lads who shouldered the burden put up a very nice game and they should be given a lot of credit for what they did. Apparently our lads let down a little when the news came that the regular team of Woodlawn would not be on the floor and none of them played as well as usual. Littell played best for Beaver Falls, while Herbert was the star for Woodlawn. The lineup: Beaver Falls—35 Woodlawn—17 Littell ___________________F________________Malinch J.

Referee—Lippert. 121 ELLWOOD—FEBRUARY 17,’22 Ellwood came to Beaver Falls and suffered a severe defeat in a rough and tumble game which at times appeared as though it would end in a free-for-all. Both teams were at fault and it interfered with the fast basket ball that the spectators were accustomed to seeing on our floor. J. McCandless and H. McCandless displayed most of the offensive work while Timm and Howe limited the visitors to two field goals. “Horse” Johnston, Ellwood’s giant center, played best for the visitors.

FARRELL—FEBRUARY 21, ’22 Tuesday, February 21, 1922. Farrell came to Beaver Falls after having won the championship of their district. This proved to be one of the most hotly contested games of the season. The low ceiling and cork floor proved a handicap for the visitors, but in spite of this they played a good game. Their foul shooter was one of the best we have seen on the home floor this season, having such records behind him as 21 out of 23, and 19 out of 20. In this game he made 15 out of 19 besides one field goal. Captain McCandless played his usual fast game from the first whistle until the last, caging four field goals besides making some very clever passes. He also succeeded in getting the tip off nearly every’ time. Littell caged two and passed well. Hamilton, with his fast dribbling, brought the ball down under the basket and was directly responsible for several goals, two of which he himself made. “Jake” McCandless started the scoring with a two pointer which he duplicated before the first period was over. Howe’s remarkable work kept the visitors from ringing up more points. The score 122 stood ten field goals for the locals to two for Farrell. The game was a comparison of the brands of basket ball played in the two counties.

BEAVER—FEBRUARY 24, ’22 Beaver Falls went to Beaver and added another easy victory to their series of wins, which made a total of 14 in all, with no defeats. Our team displayed its regular form and dropped them in from all angles and positions. “Smoke” McCandless played best for B. F. H. S. while Whitey Littell and Jake McCandless came close behind in floor work. “Les” Hamilton bewildered the County Seat lads with his wonderful exhibition for dribbling. “Chuck” Howe as usual stuck to his post and allowed no play past without a fight. Waterson and Marsh played well for the Beaver team. Littell broke the county record with 14 fouls through the hoop without a miss. Lineup: Beaver Falls —57 Beaver—28 Littell F. Frick McCandless, J.

Referee—McGlinchey. 123 FREEDOM—FEBRUARY 28, ’22 The Freedom aggregation came to Beaver Falls gym and suffered their worst defeat of the season, although they played a plucky game up to the last whistle. They showed good sportsmanship throughout the game. “Jake” McCandless found the basket more often than the others in the game ringing up 7 field goals and he also showed good passing and defensive work. “Smoke” McCandless and “Whitey” Littell did well at six field goals each; while Hamilton made two and Howe one. The second team played the last quarter with success almost equal to the first teams, scoring a total of 11 points. Butcher played fine for the Freedom tossers making 14 of their sixteen points. Five lads of his caliber would have made a hard game for Beaver Falls. The entire home team played a fine game. The lineup: Beaver Falls—65 Freedom—16 Littell . . F. Harrold J.

NEW BRIGHTON—MARCH 4, ’22 Beaver Falls received the first defeat of the season at the hands of the fast New Brighton quintet by the score of 38-23. The game started as a duel between foul shooters, no field goals being scored in the first quarter. “Whitey” Littell tallied first with a foul and Hartman followed up with another, then “Whitey” dropped in another and the score stood 2 to 1 Beaver Falls’ favor, which was the last time they held the lead in this game. The first quarter ended 7 to 6 in New Brighton’s favor. The next period began with the rush which only happens when two good teams are matched. Beaver Falls missed long shots constantly. Lewis of Brighton dropped in a long one which almost raised the roof. Waddington, a new lad on the squad, and Garver, the backbone of the Brighton team, both added a basket to the score while Hartman dropped two fine shots in, making a total of 16 to 8. “Whitey” having made a free shot and missed one in this period. All through this first half our lads found 124 it hard to pass and dribble, due to the narrow floor. Brighton’s team showed wonderful floor work in one particular instance by a very fast bit of team work when Garver made a basket after a series of passes made on finger lips by the center and forwards. This was the most spectacular play of the game. Our boys could not get together as was customary for them to do. Harry McCandless played a star game while Howe played a very good defensive game.

L. our boys journeyed to Trees Gymnasium at the University of Pittsburgh, followed by a large crowd of supporters, to play off the tie that existed between Beaver Falls and New Brighton for the championship of Section IV W. P. I. A. L. The game was exciting from the beginning and proved to be one of the best exhibitions of high school basket ball displayed on that floor this season. The first half ended 10-8 in the favor of New Brighton. Brighton had made a field goal and 8 fouls in the first half while Beaver Falls had only made 8 fouls. The second half started with a rush and our lads seemed to suddenly hit their stride when Littell started things by dropping in four consecutive long shots from the middle of the floor. They were not lucky shots for they scarcely touched the rim of the basket. He followed this up with a short one and his wonderful work throughout the game proved him to be one of the best forwards in the league. Harry McCandless, the backbone of the High school team played the ball at all times and outplayed his man at all stages of the game. His two field goals made through clever floor work helped to widen the breach between the two teams. Hamilton could not play in this game, being disqualified by the league officials and Garver of New Brighton should have been restrained from playing. It is useless to say how much we missed “Skinny” but the boys played all the harder with the determination to defeat their old rivals, New Brighton. Timm filled the vacancy left by Hamilton and fitted in well, breaking up plays coming down 125 the floor like an “old timer.” A lot of credit goes to “Chuck” Howe, the ever dependable guard, for his excellent work, while Garver and Kenah made it hard for Beaver Falls to get to the basket.

High, Champions of Section IV, met and played an elimination game at Trees Gym, Pittsburgh. The first quarter of the contest brought forth very poor play. Neither team defended well and the hurried manner in which both teams passed and shot was not productive of scoring and the period ended with each team sporting one point. But the second quarter, in contrast, produced better playing and by clever passing each team scored a field goal and the half ended 7-6 in favor of Braddock. Littell was the sensation of the game during the third quarter when he tossed in 3 fouls out of 4 tries in addition to 2 field goals'. H. McCandless also scored one in this quarter. Both of LittelPs goals were made from the middle of the floor. In the last quarter, when only forty seconds of the game remained, Braddock snatched victory from within the grasp of Beaver Falls. At this point Beaver Falls led by one point 19-18, having allowed its advantage to dwindle from five during the four preceeding minutes. While guarding their own basket awaiting the final whistle, Cibula slipped through the defense of Beaver Falls and scored a field goal, winning the game for Braddock.

SHARPSVILLE The people of Sharpsville were raising a “Milk and Cracker” fund and Beaver Falls, on account of its fine record, was chosen to play an exhibition game with Sharpsville Hi for the benefit of this fund. Sharpsville wished to defeat Beaver Falls decisively in order to show their superiority over their rivals, Grove City, who defeated them in an extra period game by one point in the Mercer County Tournament. Grove City had defeated Beaver Falls in a pre-season game played at Grove City. The whole town, from the oldest resident to the youngest, believed their team to be unbeatable. The size of the gym alone prevented the entire city from seeing what they hoped would be the downfall of the team that should have been W. P. I. A. L. Champs. The gym was packed to the side lines and many were turned away before the game time arrived. The Sharpsville team was made up of large experienced players, who had been through the fire of championship games and were playing at the height of their form. The game was fast and rough from the start as Beaver Falls did not seem to be a bit awed by players and spectators who were determined to end the season with a victory. The first half ended 13-9 in favor of Sharpsville. Hober, running guard, made three sensational shots from mid-floor, while Mahoney and Mehler each made a field goal. Three points were added from the foul line. J. McCandless tallied for Beaver Falls and Timm made one of the longest shots of the game. Whitey picked up five points from the foul line out of seven tries. Fast as the first half had been, the real game began with the start of the second half. Beaver Falls had decided between halves that Sharpsville could have their “Milk and Crackers,” but the game must come to Beaver Falls. They proceeded at once to show that they had been nourished upon a more invigorating diet. The air seemed full of “Orange and Black.” Mistakes in guarding were corrected so that Sharpsville scarcely had an open shot. Joy found the basket twice in quick succession, tying the score. Whitey was closely covered by orders of the coach but was able to register once from the floor. His great work was done at the foul line. The score at the third quarter was tied several times, however, 127 towards the end of this period Beaver Falls drew away when Harry began to count from the floor. He seemed to be all over the floor and in every play. While Harry, Whitey and Joy made points for Beaver Falls, “Chuck” and “Dutch” were guarding so closely that only two baskets were made by the home team in the second half. The game ended with a score of 30-21 in favor of Beaver Falls. Many of the spectators appreciated the class of the Beaver Falls team and were heard to express themselves that Sharpsville was not disgraced in being beaten by a team ranking among the best in the state. Taking the basket ball season as a whole, our team was very successful. They succeeded in capturing the championship of Section IV of the W. P. I. A. L. and playing in the finals where they were defeated by Braddock. It seems, for some uncanny reason, to require super-human power for Beaver Falls to defeat a team in the Pittsburgh district but quitting has never entered our minds and next year you will find us up near the top again. Our team: LITTELL The light haired and light footed forward was a menace to all teams. One of those fellows whom the other side dreads to see lay hands on the ball, because he was such an accurate shot either from under the basket or from the middle of the floor. He exhibited his ability when the team needed it most on several occasions. He has been elected Captain for 1S23 and even greater work is expected from him as leader of the squad. He is also to be commended for his foul shooting. JOY McCANDLESS “Jake” held down the other forward position and was a good running mate for Littell. He won favor with the team and followers by sacrificing shots which he felt the light haired youth had better chances of making. He will be with us another year and he is expected to continue his good work. HARRY McCANDLESS (Captain) With this name comes the thought, to those who are acquainted with the local team, of the “Backbone” of the Beaver Falls team. And such he was. No center in the league could keep the pace set by him and he undoubtedly outplayed his opponents in every game. He is only five feet eight inches tall, but he made up for this by his aggressiveness combined with his defensive work. He was chosen on the all-scholastic second team. 129 HAMILTON The diminutive guard played up until the last two games of the season when he was disqualified by the league officials on a charge of professionalism. While this lad played he fairly bewildered the opponents by his speed, clever passing, and dribbling which had no equal throughout the league. This stonewall of defense, ever present to stop any play threatening our goal proved to balance up with the rest of the team as few would do. He was one of the few guards of the league who was content to stay at his position without trying to heap laurels upon himself by points scored from the floor. By doing this we all agree that he benefited the team more than he could have done otherwise. He will be with us another year. “Dutch” substituted in the guard position and proved a very strong defensive worker. His help will be more appreciated next year. Other good men who showed up well were: Ilann, Moon, Schaal, Reese, McMahon, Clark, Robinson and Merriman. Coach Heckathorne demonstrated his ability by putting such a good team on the floor. He instills in his men good sportsmanship as well as good playing. It is hoped that he will be successful again next year and put a championship team on the floor to represent Beaver Falls High. HOWE TIMM LETTER MEN Harry McCandless Lyle Littell Charles Howe Andrew Hann Mott Moon Morton Clark Claire Merriman Joy McCandless Lester Hamilton Walter Timm 130 GIRLS’ BASKETBALL At the close of the football season every one was anxious to get the basket ball teams started. On November 27 a meeting of the girls was held in Room 10, and a large number of girls responded to the call for candidates. It was an enthusiastic crowd when they were told they would play class games. Teams were soon organized and during the first part of the season a large number of girls turned out, and Coach Ackley put the players through some very hard practices. ALUMNAE—JANUARY 3, ’22 In the game with the Alumnae, “Our Girls” played hard to get a good basket ball reputation which they hoped to keep the remainder of the season. “Fran” Schaubhut not having lost her old time skill, starred for the Alumnae, along with Grace Clyde. Every member of the High School team played hard to show both the coach and the Alumnae that we would not be defeated again as we were last year. The fact that the Alumnae were not able to get the lead any time during the game, would seem to indicate that Beaver Falls had derived much profit from the holiday practice. Lineup: Beaver Falls—12 Alumni Erwin F. Schaubhut Hamilton F. G. Clyde Ewing C. Rowe Davis G. S. Clyde Maloney G. _ Cova Substitutions—Tommason for Rowe, Kennedy for S. Clyde, Timm for Ewing. Field Goals—Schaubhut 2, G. Clyde 1, Erwin 3, Hamilton 1, Timm 1. Fouls—Schaubhut 2 out of 4, Hamilton 2 out of 4, Erwin 0 out of 1. CANNONSBURG—JANUARY 6, ’22 Cannonsburg was a new team to Beaver Falls, but having heard they were such good players, our girls desired to see what they could do. Cannonsburg scored first and continued to keep in the lead the entire game. Both teams were evenly matched, making both sides work hard for every point they scored, only the visitors were more successful than Beaver Falls. The crack center of Cannonsburg was 132 the star of the game. The final score was not what we desired, but who was it said, “Revenge is sweet? ' Lineup: Beaver Falls—6 Cannonsburg—7 Erwin . F. Neish Hamilton . -F. Heckart Timm . -C. Chesson Davis . G. Mountford Maloney . G. Anthony Substitutions—Ewing for Timm. Field Goals—Chesson 2, Neish 1, Erwin 1, Davis 1, Ewing 1. Fouls—Chesson 1 out of 4, Hamilton 0 out of 5, Erwin 0 out of 1. FREEDOM—JANUARY 10, ’22 After the defeat by Cannonsburg our girls were determined not to let a Beaver County team do the same thing to them. This was the first time the Beaver Falls girls had played Freedom for a number of years. The team came on the floor with the determination of making at least a good start. Erwin carried it out in the first few minutes of play, and after getting a start, continued to star during the remainder of the game. “Hammy” also helped to add to the score. The game was interesting throughout, in spite of the “one- sided” score.

ROCHESTER—JANUARY 13, ’22 Our girls, not to be outdone by the boys, handed Rochester girls the first defeat in a number of years by the Beaver Falls girls. These two teams always have been “old rivals” and, as usual, Rochester expected to win, but lo—they were badly disappointed when the game ended with Rochester having the short end of the score. Davis played a fine game at guard, scoring one field goal and all the other players did their best, either at goals, fouls, or team work, as 133 their fighting blood was up and they proved what they could do. It was one of the best and most hard fought games of the season. There were some faithful rooters who accompanied and supported the Beaver Falls team. Calhoon and Cole played well for the loosers along with McCalister, who played a fine game at still guard.

WOODLAWN—JANARY 17, ’22 This game was marked by close guarding of both teams, which seemed to be evenly matched. Our girls were able to locate the basket a number of times, but after the ball was almost in the basket it took an outward course instead of a downward one and went rolling away in the wrong direction. The game was a matter of making the fouls count for both sides as there was only one field goal scored during the game. The winners could not be determined at any time during the game and even at the close the score was 6-8. A five minute extra period was played and for a while luck did not seem to be in the game. At the last second K. Hoffman dropped one in which greatly pleased Woodlawn but caused disappointment to the Bpaver Falls girls. Each girl on the Beaver Falls team played her best and all deserve a great deal of credit for holding the Woodlawn girls the way in which they did. Lineup: Beaver Falls—G Woodlawn—8 Erwin F. K.

ELLWOOD CITY—JANUARY 31, ’22 The girls’ basket ball team journeyed to Ellwood City and added another victory to their list by defeating their opponents by a score of 16-9. The Ellwood girls were outplayed during the first half 134 when the score stood 11-2. At the start of the second half the Ell-wood girls put up a hard fight and were rewarded by four field goals. After getting a start at the beginning of the game, our girls continued to lead till the final whistle. Erwin playing as per usual and as she is expected to play, caged six field goals. “Davy” who, even though playing guard, never misses her chance to shoot when there is an opportunity, caged two field goals besides playing a good guarding game. Brown played a good game for Ellwood. Lineup: Beaver Falls—16 Ellwood—9 Erwin F. Hamilton F. Timm C. Davis G. Maloney G.

MONACA—FEBRUARY 2, ’22 This was the only game our girls played at home which was not a preliminary and it was not witnessed by a very large crowd. The game was very one-sided and from the start Beaver Falls was the winner. Erwin hadn’t any trouble in locating the basket and “rained” 8 field goals in, “Timmy” and “Hammy” also found the basket. Our girls had little trouble in guarding Monaca, and were able to keep them from scoring in the first half, and held them to 1 field goal during the last half.

The gym was crowded to its full capacity and fine spirit was shown by the spectators. The teams were evenly matched and the score was close at all points of the game. The Rochester girls started out with a rush and Capt. Cole made a field goal in the first few minutes of the play, this being the only goal going to Rochester’s credit. “Hammy’s” two fouls and “Timmy’s” field goal then gave Beaver Falls the lead. The game see-sawed back and forth, with Beaver Falls maintaining a two-point lead throughout with the final score being 8-5. Timm and Hamilton starred for Beaver Falls, while Capt. Cole played her usual stellar game for Rochester. This was the 4th straight win for our girls and the second time that they had defeated Rochester during the season. Lineup: Beaver Falls—8 Rochester—5 Erwin F. Richards Hamilton F. Calhoon Timm C. Cole Davis G. McCalister Maloney G. _ Ewing Field Goals—Timm 2, Cole 1. Fouls—Hamilton 4 out of 10, Cole 0 out of 2, Calhoon 3 out of 10. WOODLAWN— FEBRUARY 14, ’22 Our girls journeyed to Woodlawn and played the hardest and best game of the season. Woodlawn, contrary to expectations, received a good lacing from the Beaver Falls girls. Just look back over the record of the Woodlawn girls’ games and see what the Beaver Falls girls did to that, fine record, what they did to the team which was the Champion team of Beaver County last year, and who had hoped to be again this year, but not after the defeat which our girls handed them. Then, too, it was the first defeat the Woodlawn girls have had for two years and it was given to them on their own Iloor, which adds more to the credit of the Beaver Falls girls. During the first quartei neither side scored many points but in the second quarter our girls came on the floor with the “old fight” and Erwin located the basket and for a while just “rained” them in. Only once during the entire game was Woodlawn able to take the lead from our girls but the rooters from Beaver Falls cheered the girls on and soon they were again in the lead and continued to' remain there until the final whistle. The game was rough and fast throughout. The floor was on the order of a “fine dance floor” and at times our girls had a hard time to keep on their feet, being used 13(5 to what they considered a—better floor. Every member of the team had their “fighting blood” stirred up and all played a fine game. Lineup: Beaver Falls—14 Woodlawn—8 Erwin ____________________F________________K.

ELLWOOD CITY—FEBRUARY 17, ’22 The Ellwood girls came to Beaver Falls with the determination that they were going to win. During the first quarter they put up a hard fight and when our girls made a point they made one also. The first quarter ended 4-3 in favor of Beaver Falls. During the next quarter Beaver Falls pulled ahead and the half ended 10-5 in our favor. Our girls were too much for the Ellwoodians and in the last half Patterson dropped three in, much to the surprise of her guard. The playing and guarding of Beaver Falls team was very good as Ellwood did not make a field goal. Although the Beaver Falls girls came out ahead, the Ellwood girls put up a good game, considering the few practices they were able to have.

NEW BRIGHTON—FEBRUARY 24, ’22 The game with the New Brighton girls was played before a very large and enthusiastic crowd. The game was a hummer all the way through. Both teams, swinging into action at the first whistle, extended themselves to their utmost. While the game was exceptionally fast, each girl played her hardest, the play was clean. The New Brighton and Beaver Falls girls had not met in a game for two 137 years and each team had been doing fine work. This made it one of the most interesting games played on our floor this season. The game was hotly contested and was undecided at all points, the final whistle telling the winner. Both teams started out with a rush and the first quarter ended 4-4. The second quarter was played with great pep but neither side was able to make much of a gain, and it ended 10-8. During the last half the teams ran an even race, our girls not letting their opponents outdo them. The final whistle found Beaver Falls with the short end of the score. It would be a difficult matter to pick out any individual star for Beaver Falls, as every member of the team played a good game. Alexander and McPherson did the best work for New Brighton.

Fouls—Hamilton 7 out of 13, Timm 0 out of 1, McPherson 7 out of 14. MONACA—FEBRUARY 26, ’22 Beaver Falls had little trouble in defeating the Monaca girls, the score being 26-7. Our girls took the lead at the start of the game and at no time during the game was Monaca dangerous. The floor was a very rude affair and the lights, oh my! they couldn’t be seen nor could we see by them. The game was interesting at times. The score ended 16-3 at the first half. In the last half the Monaca girls came back stronger and put up a good fight, which made our girls work harder. Beaver Falls played a good guarding game and was able to hold Monaca to one field goal. Lineup: Beaver Falls—26 Monaca—7 Erwin F. Schackren Hamilton _ F. Kline Timm _ C. Davis G. Schackren Maloney G.

Fouls—Hamilton 4 out of 14, Timm 6 out of 11, Brockett 2 out of 8, Betts 3 out of 7. 138 FREEDOM—FEBRUARY 28, ’22 Freedom completely bewildered by the team work of Beaver Falls, lost by a score of 41-3. This was the second time this season our girls won from the Freedom girls. In the first half Beaver Falls scored 25 points, which included 12 field goals and 1 foul. When it came to locating the basket Beaver Falls was very much on the job. They were also able to again hold Freedom from scoring any points, just as they had done in the game earlier in the season. In the second half substitutions were made and still our girls continued to score. But we considered that it wouldn’t be good sportsmanship not to let Freedom score when they were our visitors so our girls let them make 1 field goal during the last half. D. Gibbons was successful in making the only foul which she had the opportunity of shooting. During the last quarter “Davy,” who plays guard but who is good at shooting, tried her hand at the forward position and played a fine game. Lineup: Beaver Falls—41 Freedom Erwin F.

CANNONSBURG—MARCH 3, ’22 Our girls’ team had hoped to carry out “revenge is sweet” when they again played Cannonsburg but were not able to accomplish it. The game was interesting despite the low score. The locals played a good defensive game, holding Chesson, the star of Cannonsburg, to only one field goal and only letting one other be made. Beaver Falls took the lead at the beginning of the game, but their opponents soon caught up and ran the game neck and neck, with Cannonsburg not being able to lead by more than two points during the entire game. “Hammy” scored all of the points for Beaver Falls and made the only field goal which went to Beaver Falls’ credit. The guarding in this game was close and our girls were forced to take long shots which were unsuccessful. The first half ended 4-3. During the last half our girls were unable to make much of a gain, not being able to 139 O I IIL.H' 13 - V SKETI5ALI. SQUAD score at all in the third quarter. “Hammy” was successful in making 3 out of 4 fouls in the last quarter, bringing our girls nearer the top. The final score, however, found Cannonsburg the winner.

NEW BRIGHTON—MARCH 13, ’22 Our girls’ team was defeated for the second time this season by the New Brighton girls. The game was fast and furious throughout. Beaver Falls scored three fouls before Brighton scored at all. Then Brighton ran up a score for themselves and surpassed that of our girls. The score ran a zig zag course and the first half ended 9-7 in favor of Brighton. Our girls came back strong at the beginning of the second half and the score soon ran up to 13-12 in favor of New Brighton. Beaver Falls was unable to overcome the one point lead. In the last few seconds, Berry took the ball through our defense and caged a field goal. At the end of the game Beaver Falls found themselves with the short end of the score. All our girls played their very best. It was hard to loose this game since it was the last one on the schedule.

The Girls’ Basket Ball Team of Beaver Falls High School for the season of 1922 was the most successful in the High School for a number of years. Out of the 15 games that were played, Beaver 141 Falls won 10 games and scored 263 points to their opponents’ 110. Captain Maloney playing still guard, and Davis at running guard played fine games. Many opponents found it quite difficult to pass by Maloney as she was always on guard. A record of a number of field goals for Davis show that she played both a good defensive and offensive game. Timm at center played very well. Altho’ not as tall as some of her opponents, she could usually get the ball to the right player. “Timmy” was good at shooting fouls and many times had no trouble in dropping the ball in the basket from difficult angles. Erwin played a good game at forward. Being both small and fast she was able to get the ball and take it down the floor at a great rate of speed. When it came to locating the basket, she was on the job. She has a record of 50 field goals and 3 fouls, making 103 points in all. Much ciedit is given to Erwin and to her fine work. Hamilton along with Erwin played a fine game at forward. Many games were won by her foul shooting, when goals could not be made. She made a record of 24 goals and 18 field goals, making 76 points in all. Patterson, playing a forward position, and altho’ quite small, made many field goals much to the amazement of her opposing guard. The team will lose three players by graduation but there are some good players on the second team, who, by practice will be able to fill the vacated places, and give Beaver Falls High School a winning team next year. Much credit should be given to the second team, who gave the first team hard practice. We hope they will have a chance to make good on the first team. Here’s to Captain “Bloney” and “Davy” who helped to give their opponents the short end of the score. Here’s to “Timmy” who usually got the “jump” and started the game in the right way. Here’s to the forwards,, “Maudie”, “Hammy” and “Pat” who dropped them in and made High School proud of the team. We, the members of the Girls’ Basketball Team, appreciate the unceasing efforts, and the spirit in which our coach, Mr. Ackley, helped us to complete our season successfully and uphold the athletic reputation of Beaver Falls High School. LETTER GIRLS Maloney Patterson Davis Timm Erwin Ewing Hamilton 142 TENNIS On April 24, 1922, the Tennis Club had their first meeting and preparations are under way for repairing the courts and arranging Inter-class matches. Although Beaver Falls has never had tennis before it is hoped that enough interest and enthusiasm can be aroused this year to have a Tennis team which will share in the honors won or lost along with the other sports of Beaver Falls High. Mr. Ackley has been the chief backer of this sport assisted by Mr. Graham. If the same interest is shown in the future, Tennis will undoubtedly take its place as a major sport in our school. TRACK In the spring of last year Beaver Falls had a very successful season for track, winning the championship of Beaver County and defeating New Castle and 'East Palestine in a triangular meet. Our team was not quite so successful in the meet held at Allegheny College and the W. P. I. A. L., but they did very well competing against larger schools. This season will have to depend upon new material for any success which it has for we have lost three good men of last year’s team. They are Howard McCandless, Lester Hamilton and Harry Boulding. We still have Hiddleson, Banks, Littell, Howe, Moon and Rhodes. Some of the new material showing up well are Gable, W. Brown, Lackner, Merriman, Sahli, Ransom, Patterson and Hoy. From this assortment Coach Heckathorne will develop his track team for 1922 which will find hot competition from other schools in the valley. Although our outlook does not seem to be the best we have had in the last few years, we depend on Mr. Heckathorne to keep up the good work of building up teams to meet the occasion. It is ardently hoped that Beaver Falls will again put forward a championship team. 143 BASEBALL Beaver Falls has not had a baseball team since the season of ’19 but this sport is not altogether forgotten by the boys of our school. Every season heretofore Inter-class games have been played to decide the championship of the school and from present indications we are again going to enjoy the game of baseball in our school. Also Mr. Black, instructor in Physical Education for boys, has started games between different teams in his classes and it is hoped that in this way we will not be allowed to get away from the “Great American Game.” avnDs hovhj. “Keramos,” East Liverpool, Ohio.

I am a telephone. While I am not broke, I am in the hands of a receiver. I ha e a mouth-piece, but unlike a women I never use it. Fellows use me to make dates with girls and girls use me to break said dates. Husbands call up their wives over me and wives call their husbands down over me. I never get to call anywhere, but sometimes the company comes and takes me out. I am not a bee, but I often buzz. I am the “Bell” of the town, and while I do not get jewelry, 1 often get rings. t t t t She—Do you know the shape of a kiss ? lie—No, i don’t. She—Well, give me one and we wall call it square. t t t t The potatoes eyes were full of tears, The cabbage hung its head, For there was grief in the cellar that night, For the vinegar’s mother was dead. t t t t Hello, old top.

She is, of course, feminine. If she is singular, you are nominative. You walk across to her, changing to verbal and then become dative. If she is not objective, you become plural. You walk in and sit down. Her little brother is an indefinite article. You talk of the future. She changes the subject. You kiss her and she becomes masculine. Her father becomes present, things are tense and you become the past participle. t t t t “John, wake up. What’s that noise down in the library?” “Oh! never mind.

I GENEVA FOUNDED 1848 , A . . • ' Beaver Falls High School is famous for a high type of school life. Many of Geneva’s best men and women are graduates and in turn wish to co-operate for the best interests of the local High School. We hope year by year to make Geneva bigger and better, to the purpose that she may serve adequately the interest of Beaver Falls and the Valley—scholastically, religiously, industrially and socially. This year Geneva has a total of 842 students, with 504 taking college courses. In the Geneva type of student, in moral tone, in scholarship, in athletics, in culture we invite comparison with any college in the United States.
