A college education is looked upon by many people as something to which only the sons and daughters of well-to-do parents may aspire. In the minds of many it signifies the outlay of a considerable amount of money during the four years usually required for a college course. No doubt n any high school students, at the present time, as the school year draws to a close, are putting aside the thought of college because of the lack of funds. Such impressions are decidedly wrong. Of course there are some fortunate ones who have a family pocket-book out of which they can pay their bills, or some other convenient source of revenue. But not so with all. However, if a boy or girl really wishes to receive an advanced education, and has not the means to do so, it is an easy matter to procure odd jobs which are open to the student who is willing to earn his way through college, and which will prove sources of revenue—jobs such as: selling household articles, dictionaries, station- ery, waiting on tables in a club or a fraternity, or doing general office work, stenography and typewriting, and any general labor. Students working their way through college are highly respected. The college is a democratic institution, and the working student often has for his best friends some of his more fortunate class-mates. The student who signifies a willingness to use his talents in this highly commendable way is not only respected by teachers and fellow-students, but is benefited morally and physically and displays traits of character that probably more fortunate ones will never equal. LAURA C. BARNETT ’23. THE TIGER 43 THE VALUE OBTAINED FROM MUSICAL CONTESTS. A great majority of the younger generation have taken a liking to “jazz” music. This kind of music seems to be practically nothing but a fad, and in time will be laid aside as other fads have been. And it may be said also that even though this new type of music has met with great approval throughout the nation, it is not an avdancement of good music. Fortunately, however, some of the older generation have noticed the lack of appreciation of classical music on the part of youth, and are now endeavoring to create a way whereby its fine qualities will not be depreciated. One method chosen by Boards of Education and Faculties in Beaver County, is the musical contest work, in which not only Beaver Falls High School students take part, but also the students of the other High Schools throughout the Beaver Valley. This contest will include musical memory work and chorus work of each of the schools. It is surprising to discover the great interest with which the contestants practice. With their practice comes finer tone quality, and a more thorough knowledge of the best musical compositions and composers. When students have something worth working for they will put forth their best efforts. In this way it brings forth the opportunity of discovering unknown musical talents in students. As the people of the United States are trying to make this nation one of the best, if not the best, they should consider all the different things which will advance education. And surely music is a phase of education which is so essential that it should not be neglected. DORIS BAKER ’24. THE GENEVA CUP. At the start of the basketball season of 1922, the authorities of Geneva College offered a silver loving cup to the high school of the county which secured the most points in the inter-scholastic contests. Last year contests were held and Beaver Falls emerged the winner with a total of twenty-three and one-half points. Points were awarded for first, second and third places in basketball, track, literary and academic work. The literary contests which are held during the months of April and May and the academic contests held near the close of the school year were an innovation in county high school activities. This year football, orchestra and chorus have been added to the list of interscholastic contests held to determine the winner of v 44 THE TIGER the Geneva Cup in the county. Beaver Falls is anxious to win the cup again this year as with our victory last year we would have a good chance of winning for three consecutive years and securing permanent possession of the trophy. The Geneva Cup serves as a stimulus to the interscholastic contests in this county and as a result of the diversity of the school activities that help to win points toward it, it offers a chance to all of the high schools in the county of winning the trophy. The Geneva authorities by donating this trophy have shown an interest in interscholastic activities in the county, and should be heartily commended for their work. R. H. S. ’24. THE REAL VALUE OF PUBLIC SPEAKING Since Public Speaking has come into our school, we have doubtless all been wondering whether or not it would be worth while to take this subject. Never was there an accomplishment so valuable as that of Public Speaking, and yet, strange to say, there is no department of modem education so much neglected. Many young men and women go through school and boast of having finished their education, yet they have aimlessly neglected an essential part of it. We may not think that we will ever need to know how to speak before an audience, but we cannot tell what we may be called upon to do in the future. Besides, Public Speaking helps us in the present. It helps us to be able to recite more readily and fearlessly in our classrooms. We know that we cannot all become great orators, and for that reason we think we do not need to study Public Speaking. But, in thinking this way, we lose the highest value of the subject. It is not only to make us public orators, but to make us know better how to speak without being self-conscious and to know how to express ourselves. We pay due respect and honor to writers and to poets of previous days, for the great thoughts they have been able to write, and although they have passed within the portals, their words live after them. Would it not be just as wonderful for us to be able to express our beautiful thoughts and have our words live with us, if not after us? Yes, and this is what Public Speaking will do for us. We hope that in the future every student of our school may find the real value of Public Speaking. GRACE WALSH.

THE TIGER 4!) “THE YELLOW STREAK Jack Bentely was on his way from school. He lived in Chicago's suburbs, but today since there had been a street car wreck and the cars would be delayed, he decided to walk home. As he was walking- throug-h the slum district, three boys, about his age, approached. The largest he readily recognized as the leader, and a “tough egg.” Across the street, a “cop” was leaning against a telegraph pole. As the three boys passed, the leader said to Jack: “Hello, Sissy!” “I’m not a sissy,” responded Jack, indignantly. The “tough,” always ready to fight, stepped up and said: “You’re not, eh? Well, I said you was—see?” At the same time something heavy landed on Jack’s jaw, and he found himself lying on the sidewalk. When things stopped whirling around, he opened his eyes, saw his three adversaries walking on down the street, and another form bending over him. He recognized the policeman whom he had noticed a little while before across the street, and who now spoke to him. “Why didn’t you hit him, kid? Yellow, eh?” And then he, too, passed on. Jack picked himself up and resumed his way home. “I wish Papa had been a pugilist instead of a real-estate merchant, then I wouldn’t be such a baby.” Such were his thoughts as he walked along. That night the Boy Scouts held their meeting. Jack was a mem- v r o THE TIGER ber of one of the local troops, and even though he wasn’t feeling very well, after his treatment by the “tough”, he went to the meeting. It was Roosevelt’s birthday, and his troop was celebrating by having special talks by the Scoutmaster and members of the Troop Committee. These men told of his weakness in his boyhood, and of how he overcame this fault. They emphasized Roosevelt’s fondness for fair play and, especially, that he insisted on doing what he believed to be right, regardless of the cost. Jack started home, filled with thoughts of this great hero. As he was going toward the car line, he was attracted by a bright lighting of the sky a few blocks away, and a hurrying of the crowd in that direction. Since it was not very late, Jack changed his course and hurried along with the rest. As he approached the place, he saw that a large tenement fire was the cause of the excitement. He immediately rushed up to a policeman and said: “I’m a Boy Scout. I’ll help keep back the crowd.” The policeman turned, and Jack was surprised to see the same fellow who had called him “yellow” earlier in the day. The cop said, sneeringly: “We need men for this job. Not little kids, afraid to fight.” Jack, momentarily subdued, walked over toward the crowd. On the way he overheard two firemen talking. “We have everyone out now, except one baby, and he is up on the third floor, in a back room. I guess there is no chance to get him.” When Jack heard this, something inside of him said, “There is your chance. Show them that you are not yellow.” So without further delay, he rushed toward the entrance. On the way he stooped to wet his handkerchief in some water in the gutter, and tied it over his nose and mouth. Once inside the building, he easily found the stairs. He hurried up the first flight. On the second floor the smoke and fumes were thicker and almost suffocated him. But he remembered something he had read in his Boy Scout Manual about the air in a burning building being pure, within six inches of the floor, so he went up the second flight of stairs on his hands and knees. When he reached the third floor, he was quickly guided to the room by the cries of the baby. He rushed into the room, found the baby in a dark corner and started back to safety with it. Just as he came out he heard a crash below. He arrived at the second floor without mishap. As he turned to go down the remaining flight, he was surprised to find that the stairs were gone. The supports had burned away, and the stairs had fallen. So this was the crash he had heard! Jack almost lost his courage. But this thought came to him, “What would Roosevelt have done in THE TIGER 51 this position? He would have fought to the last.” And that is what Jack made up his mind to do. He turned and carried his burden back to the front of the building. There was a window there and, by putting practically all his strength into the effort, he opened it. He shouted and finally attracted one of the men below, and a net was spread for him. The baby slipped out of his arms, and dropped safely into the net. Then, his work done, and being exhausted, Jack sank in a heap on the floor. Hours later, when the flames had been subdued, they found the lifeless form. The flames had doubtless overcame him, and being too weak to rouse himself, he had died—just as many heroes before him had died. A burly form pushed its way through the crowd, which surrounded him and he who had twice condemned Jack bent over him and said: “He was a brave lad! May God forgive me for what I called him.” If ever you travel in that part of the country and happen to visit a certain cemetery on the outskirts of the city, you may see a little grave, with this epitaph on the tombstone: “He fought for what he believed to be right, yea, even died for it.—What more can any of us do?” RICHARD LUTZ—CLASS V. THE WISH. Long ago, when the Pharaohs ruled in Egypt, there lived on the outskirts of the city of Thebes, a poor stone-mason. At this time, the young ruler, Tut-ankh-amen, was overseeing with pride, the construction of a tomb which was to hold his body in security for its great journey. It was the building of this tomb which gave bread to the stone-mason, Naaman Abdul, his wife, and their twelve year old son, Ethan. The tomb was out of the city, only two miles distant from their home, in a gloomy, sandy valley. “Father,” the boy had often asked, “do wishes come true?” The good man would smile and say, “Ah, my son how can a wish come true unless it is so willed by Amon, himself?” Ethan was thinking of this as he walked along. Dusk was falling. He was on his way to the half-constructed tomb to bring home a tool which his father had forgotten. He was saying to himself now, that his greatest wish was to see his father famous as the chief factor in the construction of this well-known tomb. He wished that v THE ORCHESTRA THE TIGER 53 his father were in command of all the many other masons who were working daily on the tomb. He was nearing the tomb, which was deserted now as the workmen had all gone home, when suddenly his thoughts were interrupted by a vague consciousness that he was not alone. He quickly brushed the thought aside and approached the large entrance. He was again halted in his tracks by what sounded to him like a faint tapping. At first he thought that he had imagined it. But no, he could hear it plainly coming from far within, from the nearly complete portion, or inner chamber. He entered, his heart beating wildly, but Ethan was not a coward. He determined first to get his father’s tool which he reached without difficulty, as it was in the outer chamber. Trembling, he lay down and began crawling to the opening into the inner chamber. He peered cautiously in. In the semi-darkness, he could see the form of a man kneeling at the foot of the main pillar. Beside him stood what seemed to be a block of stone similar to those used in the pillars supporting the roof. As Ethan watched, he realized what the man was doing. There had been some talk of placing guards about the tomb when it was almost finished, but as yet, it had been left unguarded as Ethan had found it when he arrived. The man whom Ethan saw was now chiseling out the rock from the bottom of the pillar, so that when the men should return and begin work, it would be greatly weakened, and as a result, cave in. For some moments he watched. Soon the man rose and prepared to light a lantern. Ethan retreated, and after leaving the door ran rapidly toward home. Having delivered his tool he said nothing of the incident to his parents, but set out at once for the city. It was now dark. He did not know wTiat he -would do when he did reach the city but he ran nevertheless. When he arrived at the great square before the palace, he was awed by the sight of a great crowd of people, many, many torches and a long glittering procession. The king was coming out of the palace. Ethan realized that this was his opportunity. The crowd had parted to make room for the king and without a second thought, he rushed straight to the king himself and before the angry guards could drag him away, he had knelt down and was trying to speak, but could not find his voice. The king commanded that the lad be allowed to speak and Ethan falteringly stammered his message. An awed silence fell upon the whole multitude. The king realized how true Ethan’s words might be, and after very little questioning, ordered Ethan into the custody of some of his attendants while others were ordered to the tomb in charge of a trustworthy officer. Before returning to the palace, however, the king ordered that V THE TIGER 54 Ethan accompany the officer. When they arrived at the tomb the guards approached cautiously and found to Ethan’s dismay that the tomb was in complete darkness and there seemed to be no one there. With their lighted torches, the men entered and found nothing in the outer chamber. Then they entered the inner chamber and went at once to the main pillar. They saw nothing wrong with it. Poor Ethan! He wondered if after all, he had been dreaming. The other pillars were all hastily examined and they, too, appeared to be whole and sound. Ethan’s last hope died out. The head officer was already sternly demanding why he had caused this excitement. All eyes turned toward him. Before he could reply, a low cry drew every one’s attention again to the main pillar. One of the men had decided to take a last look. He had touched the lower block. It had felt to him a trifle unlike the rest. A strange curiosity within him made him try it to test its solidness. Of course he had known that he could not shake or in any way move the block, but nevertheless, he gave it a gentle tug and the block actually came away in his hands. He had been so surprised that he had uttered the cry which now brought the crowd of attendants, guards and servants to see what had happened. There, to his astonished eyes and to the eyes of the rest, was revealed an indentation in the rock which had slowly been chiseled out.. The part that came away was found upon closer scrutiny to be a wooden frame cunningly changed in appearance so as to resemble the surface of a block of stone. The purpose had been to hide the damaged portion. Ethan now remembered that this was what he had noticed beside the man when he had first seen him. A careful search was made ami the struggling culprit was brought forth from one of the niches in the wall where he had been hiding. It was later discovered that he was a priest of the lately overthrown god, Aten. He had escaped the fate of his fellow-priests and was seeking revenge, but was defeated as we have seen by Ethan, the son of a poor stone-mason. Did Ethan’s wish come true? Yes, in the morning, his father and mother, who had begun to fear that some evil had befallen him, were summoned into the presence of the king where they were met by the joyful Ethan. His wish was fulfilled and in the years which followed, he was known throughout Egypt for deeds far greater than the first. JACOB VENGER ’25. THE TIGER 5o THE EXPERIMENT. I. More than twenty years before the beginning of my story, Thomas Larkin, a promising young business man of Pittsburgh became a patient in the Homeopathic Hospital of that city. During that time he met and loved one of the nurses, a Miss Suttin, under whose care he had been, but she, unwilling to give up her profession, refused his proposal. In a fit of jealous pride he immediately married another young woman ,who died a few years after the birth of their child. With his daughter Ruth, Larkin moved to Avesbrook, to an estate left him by his father, just six miles from the city and there, while the father watched longingly in the direction where the high top of the Hospital might be seen outlined against the sky, in the heart of the daughter grew an intense longing for a mother. There had never been a close companionship between Ruth and her father. They had lived their own separate lives from the first and when one day Ruth found the picture of a beautiful woman’s face on her father’s desk she concluded it was that of her dead mother and asked no question. For hours, when her father was not at home and she was not under the immediate eyes of her governess she would gaze into the smiling eyes until the face almost became real. Thus, she created for herself during her six years’ stay at Avesbrook, a beautiful if only imaginary mother. After more than fifteen years of absence Ruth was once more at Avesbrook. It was early evening towards the end of June and she sat in the library comparing notes in the large manual lying open in her lap. “If I might only convince Dr. Hallam,” she mused. Presently, she heard steps approaching on the gravel walk. Laughing, she quickly hid her book from sight and hurried into the adjoining room. George must not find her pouring over that dreadful stuff, as he called it, again. During these last few months she had been too indifferent towards him. Three times within the last two weeks, when the experiment had been at its height and steady work alone insured its success, she had refused to leave her studying for him. Underneath Ruth’s yearning for love, although her imagination had not fully satisfied it, there had always been a marked degree of independence. This might have been explained by the fact that she had spent most of her real life away from home. As soon as she had been old enough her father had sent her first to boarding school and v THE TIGER 56 to college. At the former she had found happiness under the care of her women teachers. From the college she had come home with her own ideas about women’s rights and with the vote in her twenty-first year had come the desire to achieve and to accomplish. She had but a general education and her interest lay in no particular direction, until, scarcely a year after her return home, she heard of the illness and death of a friend, who had died of some incurable disease. About this time Ruth became interested in certain medical books and after two years of study under a great specialist, Dr. Hallam, a friend of her father’s, she received a doctor’s degree and was now interested in her own experiments, in spite of the objections of George Barton, a young man who had been her lover for the last five years and to whom she was now engaged. Dr. Hallam was the only person who knew the real import of her experiments and he sadly shook his head over her attempts. At last she had informed him of a result which she was sure would meet with success and there, in the library, she had been going over it all once more before George should arrive. This evening she had promised should be his and his alone. But it was not George who had come up the gravel walk. Instead it was a messenger with a telegram from Dr. Hallam himself. It read: “Have serious case. All hope gone. If willing to perform experiment come at once.” Dr. E. M. Hallam, Homeopathic Hospital, Pittsburgh. Quickly she wrote her reply: “Coming at once.” Ruth. It took her scarcely fifteen minutes to pack her small bag and to put on her wraps. The pleasant evening with George was forgotten. Nor did she think of him again until leaving a note by the telephone for her father, who was out for the evening on business, she thought to call him. He had not yet left home. “George?” she asked. “Yes.” “George—I’m sorry—but would you mind not calling this evening?” “Ruth,” in a hurt tone from the other end of the wire. “I’m sorry, George, but it’s absolutely necessary. I—” THE TIGER “Look here, Ruth. What’s the matter? What have I done? Are you sorry you promised to------------?” “Don’t be silly George and please don’t keep me. It’s nothing like.that at all.” “I know Ruth,” somewhat mollified, “but listen. I want to know for sure when we-------------.” Silence!-----then “George, if what I do tonight succeeds I-I’ll marry you—at once!” She gave him no time for reply. If she had, she reflected afterwards, she might have asked him to take her to Dr. Hallam, in his car. As it was she drove the six miles herself in her own little roadster. When she arrived at the hospital Dr. Hallam met her in the lower hall. “I’m glad you came,” he said, leading the way up the stairs. “There can be nothing more done save to take a chance. They are willing to let you try.” “But what if—,” began Ruth. “Then you will not be held responsible.” As they entered the room to their left at the top of the stairs Dr. Hallam spoke softly to the tall lady in nurse’s garb bending over the bed. “Dr. Larkin is here,” he said. As the lady rose and came towards her, Ruth started. She would have recognized that face anywhere. It was the same one, only somewhat older, which had been taking the place of her mother all these years. Could it be that her mother was not dead after all ? II. Ruth never could remember the details of that first experiment when she gave orders and others came and went at her command. She recalled dimly how she had persisted in holding the sleeping child in her own arms when others begged to relieve her. How she had barely had time to lay the little form gently back among the pillows, when she felt her senses leaving her, for the strain had been too great, and she fell in a heap to the floor. When she awoke she herself was in a bed. Dr. Hallam was anxiously bending over her, while the tall and beautiful nurse sat by the bedside tenderly holding her hand. They both smiled as they saw her eyes open. “The experiment,” she asked, “was it—?” V 58 THE TIGER “A success,” finished the lady. For a moment Ruth happily closed her eyes. Then, opening and bringing them to rest on the nurse. “Who are you?” she asked abruptly. “Why—I’m Miss Suttin,” answered that lady kindly. “Then you’re not my mother,” with a reluctant sigh. “No,” said Miss Suttin slowly. “But—I might have been,” she added softly. “Tell me,” said Ruth. The doctor had left the room and Ruth listened to the older woman’s story thoughtfully and attentively. After while she fell into a peaceful sleep. When she once more awoke Dr. Hallam was again watching her but his face was not so anxious this time. Miss Suttin still sat holding her hand and by the side of Miss Suttin rose the tall gaunt figure of her own father. Ruth had never seen him so happy before. There was an unfamiliar light in his eyes which made his countenance handsome. It was the same light which shone from all their eyes as they bent towards her. It was the light of love and seemed to fill the whole room with its radiance. “Love,” murmured Ruth softly. As the doctor, followed by Miss Suttin and her father, softly left the room, Ruth became aware of a fourth person. “I am so happy,” she said turning and smiling up at George. “So am I,” said he. Nor did he doubt that Ruth’s heart as well as her promise permitted the sacred kiss. Finis. SHAKESPEAREAN LITERARY SOCIETY As the excitement of the opening of school and the forming of the Football team subsided, our minds were turned to more educational thought, the Literary Societies. In October, 1922, the meeting of the Shakespearean Literary Society was held for the purpose of re-organizing. We missed the officers, as we had lost them in the June graduation. The new officers that were elected were: President______________________________Joy McCandless Vice-President_____________________________________Paul Hiddleson Secretary____________________________Adelaide Martsolf Marshal____________________________________Lyle Littell Reporter__________________________________________Clair Merriman Among the familiar faces seen in the meeting, were many new ones, including many students who heretofore had not been members of the Society. This was a result of the division of the student body equally between the Societies thus compelling every student to be a member of one or the other Society. This new ruling proved most favorable as it not only aroused much competition and rivalry but increased the enthusiasm to such an extent that the programs proved more and more interesting. The semi-monthly meetings were looked forward to with much expectation and programs were enjoyed by all. They showed much improvement over the preceeding years as a result of Miss Robins’ untiring efforts of persisting in finished products of her raw material. The second semester’s officers were: President_____J?_________________ Vice-President___________________ Secretary________________________ Marshal__________________________ Reporter_________________________ -Clair Merriman ___Charles Howe ___Rachel Dillon —Paul Hiddleson Joy McCandless During the year there were several joint meetings of the Literary Societies. One was held at the Carnegie Library Auditorium on December 20, 1922, and a Christmas program was presented. It was enjoyed not only by the student body but also by a number of the parents. Another was held on Washington’s birthday. Several musical numbers and readings were the extent of a most interesting program. THE TIGER 61 FORUM LITERARY SOCIETY On returning to school in September, 1922, everything was reorganized including the Forum Literary Society. Some of the members and officers had graduated, leaving vacancies in offices. At the first meeting Mr. Pitzer took charge and the following officers were elected for the first semester: President______ Vice President. Secretary______ Marshal _______ Reporter_______ Morton Clarke —Glenn Rhodes —Melba Brown __George Paff __Harry Haude This year it was decided to make the rule that belonging to Literary Societies be compulsory, with the result that the society is much larger and better. At the meetings of the society, programs were rendered which were both educational and entertaining. Much musical talent was discovered and often the audiences were entertained by very good selections. Not more than four meetings could be held in the first semester, on account of the vacations at Xmas and Thanksgiving. At the close of the first semester it was about a month before a meeting was held at which the following new officers were elected: President___________________________________Henry Lewis Vice President______________________________Harry Haude Secretary____________________________Elizabeth Merriman Marshal ___________________________________Morton Clarke Reporter__________________________________William Manor These officers were installed at the next meeting by President Morton Clarke, after which they then took up their duties. The former officers filled their places very well and too much praise cannot be given them. There is no doubt but that our present officers will endeavor to keep up the good work of those succeeding them and make the Forum Literary Society what it should be and, no doubt, will be. f HARRY J. HAUDE '24. 62 THE TIGER AMERICAN INFLUENCE. War clouds again hover over Europe. France has a firm grasp upon the Ruhr district, grimly determined to force a payment of her great war indemnities. Perhaps, led blindly hither by a wrathful desire to avenge her defeat and humiliation which terminated the Fran-co-Prussian War, or, spurred to action by a strong distrust of Germany’s plea to bankruptcy, she has thrust aside her ancient rival and recent ally, England, has destroyed the pact which settled the greatest war the world has ever seen, and has rashly entered upon a campaign which may prove disastrous to herself and tragic to the rest of Europe. What an utter disregard for the sacrifices of millions! What a destruction of a peace which knew no bounds, which was proclaimed throughout the world—a peace which brought the vision of a new era, and bore tidings of a universal democracy. To what can we attribute this fad of scrapping treaties, this peculiar mania for war? To affix a curse upon any one nation would be unjust for these are days of distrust, and the world is but to blame. Yet out of this utter darkness, this chaotic condition of the world, a faint ray of hope has arisen in the form of our great American nation, the United States. It is to our nation that the wearied eyes of Europe turn. It is in us they place an unfaltering hope for better days. But why? Because America has previously influenced the world in many ways. During the past ages of civilization the nations of the world had groped in darkness, conflicted aimlessly, and lived dormant lives either to end in a fall as did Rome, or to receive no advancement whatever, unless it be a small amount of territory which had been practically their God. Thus the world had merely existed until within the past two centuries our own nation arose as a reaction to this shiftlessness, a promise of progress. The world at large profited by this example. England stamped out the tyranny and oppression of her kings. France went through a period of revolution, war, suffering, and oppression until she too found peace and prosperity in a democratic government. Then Italy, and other nations found their goal. Germany, who refused to be guilded by these democratic ideals, selfishly threw aside the thoughts of brotherhood and perished as a nation at the expense of the world. But this was only an indirect result of American influence. America has set forth other examples which still further influenced the world. The Holy Alliance, which was formed Sept. 26, 1815, comprised the nations of Russia, Austria, and Prussia. This agreement was formed under the guise of benevolence and a development of THE TIGER 63 higher ideals, while in truth it was formed with the express purpose of stamping out all sparks of democracy. At this time Spain became involved in strife with her former colonies, the South American States, and was about to be supported in her movements by the Holy Alliance. Aid would soon have been granted had not the United States intervened with its famous Monroe Doctrine. In this document it was stated clearly, that the United States would consider any encroachments on independent American States by a foreign power, whether it be for controlling or practically governing as an unfriendly act against the United States. This decision not only met the occasion and established the freedom of the South American States, but also it continued from that time to the present to be a standing policy of our government. It was used effectively when France attempted to encroach upon Mexico after the Civil War, and still later in the Venezuelan affairs, when England tried to make unjust claims against that state. The United States gave an opinion in the case, which was acceptable to both countries, and acted as an arbitrator between foreign countries, and thus prevented the ravages of war. These incidents serve as examples of America’s ever present influence, and as a furtherance of the knowledge that many great questions can be settled amicably. What a marked contrast this presents when compared with the centuries of fruitless struggles between France and England, the constant antagonism of Prussia and France, the ever existing enmity between Austria and Italy, and as a whole the general unrest throughout Europe. If only the Eastern Hemisphere will put into actual practice the ideals of her western creation, trivial wars will cease, and greater conflicts will not be aggravated. In furtherance of our knowledge of America’s infinite works, let us consider other policies she has uncovered in her 130 years of exist-ance. The Open Door policy in Asia serves as a reminder of our nation’s benevolence, and has had an astonishing effect upon the world. Previously little was known of the Far East, for China remained hidden in her vast domains, and Japan sought seclusion in her small reeflike islands. Yet, with the fleet of Matthew Perry, a message was sent from the outside world—a message which broke the solitudes of the East, and laid the foundations of the astonishing growth and development of that great nation which is the formidable power of the Pacific. Such an awakening in the East provided new fields for European capitalists. Great improvements were made, and many miles of railroads were built. In fact, the advancement took place at a rate far too rapid, for the edification of the superstitious Chinese. In 1898 some German missionaries were killed in China and this gave Ger- THE TIGER r,4 many an opportunity of establishing a sphere of influence in the Shantung province. Immediately England, France, and Russia, not to be outdone, seized portions for themselves. This foreign aggression aroused the anger of the Chinese, who quickly responded to warfare conducted by patriotic societies known as Boxers. This war was directed against the foreigners in all sections of the country, and, resultantly, many innocent missionaries were killed. The uprising was brought to a close by the invasion of troops sent by Japan, Russia, Germany, Great Britain, and America. In fit reparations for this untimely revolt, China was forced to pay a huge indemnity to the nations involved, America’s share of which was returned to China for the purpose of educating her young men. Here again was a Christian ideal exhibited by America, the greatness of which hung far above the aspirations of the World. American influence has been quite evident in the various Peace Conferences or arbitrary councils of the world. Important conferences were held at the Hague in Holland with the purpose of insuring peace and good fellowship between nations, and peace throughout the world. Then the U. S. has been a factor in the arbitrary courts, and she submitted herself to their decision concerning the seal fisheries of Alaska which had been an article of contention between herself and Great Britain. But even superior to such actions was the American sacrifice of humanity in the late war. When Belgium lay distressed and ravaged and France lifelessly grasped the armor of war when England lay weakened by the onset of the Hun, and Italy had long lost hope, the guiding spirit of America again spread to Europe and the war terminated in a victory. Yet thousands of our boys in common with their brethren had paid the supreme sacrifice for humanity. What nobler deed could be done? What better example could possibly be set? And yet, with the close of the war and the loss of America’s guiding hand, Europe seems at a loss in her peace conference. The League of Nations was a failure, owing to America’s analysis and rejection of it; the majority of conferences, because of America’s policy of isolation, failed. Some link must be established between nations, and the question arises whether it shall be a solemn covenant, or a court composed of representatives of the several nations which will act as a high tribunal from whose decisions there will be no appeal. Europe is looking to America for enlightment in such problems, and the question develops, Will America arise to the occasion as of old? Will she bear the strain, and again save the world? She may achieve far greater deeds. Who knows ? LAURA C. BARNETT ’23. R TEW youMcgTc a CMN . Hovyc 66 THE TIGER PHYSICAL EDUCATION IN THE SCHOOLS. Until a few years ago Physical Education could not be enjoyed by all of the schools. The larger schools were practically the only ones to have the advantage of this science. When war was declared and men were summoned to the service, a large majority of the men were found to be both morally and physically unfit. It has become quite a known fact that America on an average has about two-thirds of the people physically unfit for most ail kinds of service. The war in one way, was a great benefit to the American people. It at least showed them the great need of having their people in good physical condition. Still, even after these startling discoveries some of the people payed no attention to this fact. But many more tried to find a way to correct the fault. The only good solution of this problem seemed to be the introduction of Physical Training in the schools. Many of the schools and colleges who had never considered the subject of this training began to include it in their courses. They soon found out the many ways in which it was beneficial. After the high schools and colleges had begun to include physical training in their work the graded schools gradually began to do the same, and now in the United States there are many schools that have adopted this system. Beaver Falls High School was the first in Beaver County that began to include this in their regular school work. When Physical Education was first introduced into our school, it was approved of by a great majority of the students. It has been included in our work for about two years, and in those two years we have found what a great benefit it has been to our students. THE TIGER 67 Physical Education in its broadest sense means more than the exercising of the muscles in the body. It, of course, includes this, but the most important meanings are the moral training, personal hygiene and the formation of an upright character. Under moral training fair play could be said to be the most important article. This must be put into practice even at the expense of losing the game, if it would happen to be in the case of a game. It also shows the need of good leadership, which unless tested out in this way would not be developed. Therefore Physical Education is beneficial to us first, because it involves a moral responsibility and second, before we can get the title of “Perfect Americans,” we must first gain possession of moral and physical health. JEAN M. WASSON. THE ABOLISHING OF HAZING. Hazing has been abolished in Beaver Falls High. For many years this custom has prevailed in the local High School. Many students have for a long time disagreed with this plan of welcoming the freshmen. No one, however, had organized against it. The Hi-Y Club seeing the evil influences of this manner of hazing decided to use their influence against it. A meeting of the boy students was held in the gymnasium, and, after some controversy it was decided by an unanimous vote to exterminate this evil. Although the vote was unanimous there were many boys who thought this form of hazing should not have been discontinued. Their chief argument was, that they had been hazed so why should not the others be hazed. This is a poor way to look at it. We all know the terrors that it holds for the freshmen for we have all passed through it. Many were the times that we came home from school in a roundabout way and later in the evening feared to venture on the streets alone. We can picture the embarassment of some of the braver freshmen at being hazed leaving the theatre in the presence of a large crowd of oidookers. After being hazed how often must they cancel some engagement because of their appearances for, the results of hazing do not wear off for a month or two. The past form of Hazing did not benefit many. The hazing was usually executed by a dozen or so boys. They enjoyed what little fun could be had of it. The upper classmen never did take hazing seriously. It was chiefly the lower classmen who did it and they did it more to follow the custom than anything else. Some class had to discontinue the custom and the present lower classmen did it. They should be commended for doing their part. No future class should attempt to restore this evil. We had a hard time to get rid of it now let us stay rid of it. VICTOR BOHDEN ’23. THE TIGER (5 S HI-Y CLUB. The Hi-Y Club has been a very active organization during the past year. The year may be termed a very successful one because the program of the club has contained activities which have afforded the members symmetrical development. Symmetrical development is the main objective of the organization. It embodies the following: Betterment of health, acquirement of an alert mind, enriching of the soul, advancement along social lines, and the achievement of service. This program was under the supervision of capable men. Mr. George Nichols, Jr., of the New- Brighton Y. M. C. A., was the efficient successor of Mr. Wooten, who had, in 1921 co-operated with Mr. Gensbigler in the work of organizing the club. After the club was started Coach Heckathorne was chosen as faculty advisor. It was then deemed necessary to have a spiritual advisor. Rev. Rees, of the Baptist church, was appointed to this office. A large part of the success of the club was due to the splendid guidance of these men. Acquirement of an alert mind is a fundamental principle of the school itself but the Hi-Y has carried this a little further. Different men spoke to the members at the meetings on subjects vitally interesting and helpful. The staging of the minstrel show might also be included under this head. Quite an extensive spiritual program was carried out. Rev. Rees conducted Bible study classes and gave an examination of the book which he used. This was most helpful. The club went to Sewickley to the Older Bovs’ Conference of the Y. M. C. A. There they had the privilege of listening to Cameron Beck of the New York Stock Exchange. Mr. Beck is noted as a boy’s worker. Prayer at each meeting and before each athletic contest is a noteworthy accomplishment of the club. Meetings were held at various churches in the community during the year. These meetings were very beneficial to all concerned. The social side was not neglected. The club participated in a county Hi-Y banquet held at the Y. M. C. A. Another event was the Hi-Y hike. This was a decided success. At several of the meetings the members brought refreshments which added greatly to the enjoyment of all. Finally comes the greatest of all, the achievement of service. For after all, these other things do not count unless we give to others the benefit of our development. Two great pieces of service rendered were the curbing of the tobacco habit in High School and the abolition of hazing by substituting Freshman Day. Since the club has had such a successful season we cannot afford to let this organization go out of existence. The members of the Hi-Y are all looking forward to greater attainments in the coming year. JOHN K. REEVES. Wftpr HI'Y CLUB MUSING. Sometimes as the sun is setting, And night is drawing nigh, I love to sit in the twilight And dream of the days gone by. As the firelight gently flickers And sheds its soothing ray O’er walls, and fender and hearth-stone At the close of a winter’s day. It seems to me in my musing That I can hear the notes Of some far away charming music As down the years it floats. And hark! I hear the music Of some distant pealing chime And the ringing of a school bell Down o’er the walls of time. Then I quite forget my troubles And my wrinkles pass away, My trials are forgotten In the thought of that other day. ETHEL STEPHENS. THE TIGER 71 THE FAIRY OF THE STORM. The rain-bow is a fairy—you wonder if its true? She is so gay and airy; her robe of wondrous hue I know is made by magic, from every flower that grows For where else could she find such lovely shades of gold and rose? The rain-bow is a fairy, and if you ever doubt, Just ask the happy children, who know her magic route; Although the showers bring her, her heart is kind and warm And she is loved by everyone, the Fairy of the Storm! Now here I’ll tell a secret; the wiser people say She has a kingdom of her own, beyond the sparkling bay, And if you follow to the end, you’ll find a pot of gold, But you may never more return, to tell of her, I’m told. But you may live forever, upon that wondrous isle, ’Mid flowers and birds and running brooks, and you may watch, the while, The merry raindrops dancing in the golden sunlight warm, In the kingdom of the rainbow, the Fairy of the Storm. MARY CELESTE HELMICK. Then Jacob caught her in his manly arms. He being so bewitch’d by her dear charms But Mary did not mind this act at all How could she, being but a china doll ? ABRAHAM TENOR. THE VISITOR. A robin came this morning; tapping at my window pane The merry rogue awakened me—indeed, he made it plain What he thought of folk who lie abed when April deigns to smile, He knew that I admired him, and he lingered there awhile, And when he left I saw him toss his saucy little head, As though in scorn for what I’d lost, in hours forever fled. And so I must rise early—catch Apollo’s brightest rays, Lest this saucy creature come again and chide my lazy ways, And censure me for losing all the morning’s zest and charm. He is an earnest little preacher, with his six o’clock alarm, He is following the Springtime o’er the valleys and the hills On the trail of stately lilies and sweet gold-cupped daffodils! MARY CELESTE HELMICK. THE TIGER THE GAME. The rival teams were meeting In that town across the way To test their skill in playing That bright Thanksgiving Day. The people waited patiently As on the field they came For renewed athletic friendship Depended on that game. The Brighton boys came prancing The Orange and Black to meet. Alas for expectations! Their efforts met defeat. For our boys were victorious In that town across the way, In a game that was notorious In the topics of that day. ISABEL SEANOK. AN EXCUSE. Dear Mr. Biggensler: On Wednesday I was not at school; I played hook like the rest, Because we beat the rival team And showed we were the best. But Daddy is a funny chap; He vowed he would not write A bum excuse for any boy Whose acts were not all right. So now it can be plainly seen Why I present you this; For you must give an alibi If any school you miss. Yours hopingly, A. T. Ruant. JOHN K. REEVES ’25.

One day when I was wandrin’ Through the valley and the hill; And the birds, how they were singin’ And their notes how they did thrill. I kept wandrin’ up a pathway To a lovely little nook, Where I’d sit and dream for hours By a tiny little brook. Oh! Those dreams I scarce remember, For they took me far away. Where the lands o’erflow with gladness And where sorrows cannot stay. Though we all do wish for gladness Yet we never realize That the land we really live in Is a lovely Paradise. V LYLIAN R.

Silence reigns in the study hall, And studious heads are bent, Not a ripple disturbs the quiet room, To tell that a note is sent. But down in front, some brave boy. Has resolved to do or die. And turning his head he signals back By the cautious wink of an eye. Then just a little piece of paper, Folded a peculiar way, But it holds some little message Easier to write than say. A little kiss, a poke, a glance, And up to the waiting line The precious lover’s note is passed With camouflaged design. A risky job, but blessed with luck, It reaches the waiting hand. An excited smile, a blush assures Receipt of the contraband. —MILDRED F. SHEETS. THE TIGER 75 OUR PUPPIES. Oh come and see our puppies here! We’ve four all brown and white, They’re very small and funny, too, Their eyes are shut up tight. They’ve got such weak and funny legs They can’t stand up at all. You musn’t lift or carry them For fear you’ll let them fall. So there they lie and sleep and sleep, And with their mother stay I wish they’d hurry up and grow And play with me all day. REBECCA MARCUS. HARE AND HUNTER. Red was the October sun, As the hunter with his gun Passed a thicket near the ground, There he heard a plaintive sound. Was it elf or woodland gnome Calling as he hastened home? “Cruel hunter,” so it cried, “Cruel ways and selfish pride. Tn your heavy bag you bear, Cold and dead, my brother hare. Hear my sigh and hear my moan. Please, O please, leave us alone.” Said the hunter, “Little hare, I’ve a garden made with care. Do not comb and nibble so— Let my sprouts and lettuce grow. If you’ll never enter there, Then I’ll never shoot a hare.” V REBECCA MARCUS. 76 THE TIGER HOME. Where is there so dear a place As home, sweet home? No other spot has such a charm Where e'er we roam, Whether we live ’neath lowly roof Or lordly dome, Forever lives within our hearts The love of home. RUTH LOUTHAN. A NIGHT IN JUNE.

THE TIGER 77 “THE GAME.” As I was walking down the street I heard the tramp of marching feet; I turned around and saw a crowd And wondered why they were so proud. I heard a yell, a cheer, a song, And wondered what was going on. For as they passed they cheered with vim And someone cried, “We’re going to win.” And then I knew this was the day The High School Tigers were to play. The Orange and Black were going to win With eleven Tigers who had the vim. So then I had to join the throng And someone cried, “Come right along.” I stepped right in with a confident grin And thought the team would surely win. When we reached the place to play All were eager for the fray. And then there was a mighty shout From a truck nearby the team stepped out. They practiced hard with lips set tight, For it would be an awful fight, When upon their knees they bent To pray for strength when they were spent. The whistle blew the game was on, The ball was kicked by New Brighton, But Brighton didn’t have a show As all who saw the game doth know. The Tigers tackled sure and hard Not even once were off their guard, For when the Tigers went right thru The Tigers’ touchdowns numbered two. The whistle blew the game was done, The Tigers cried, “We’ve won! We’ve won.” Once more is heard the rolls of drum “Behold the conquering heroes come.” CYRIL HOLLINBACK. 78 THE TIGER A GARDEN. I went into a garden once, A garden old and sweet it was. The flowers all in bright array, Held up their heads in proud display. The reds and yellows, greens and blues, In gayest colors all they grew; Each one was hung with dew drops bright Which sparkled in the sweet sunlight. The roses red and violets blue, Prim holly-hocks and lark spurs too, Each one was nodding to and fro As if to fairy music low. The blue forget-me-nots seemed lost For above, the daisies gleamed and tossed Some hung their dainty faces down Until they almost touched the ground. And as I left this garden gay Which bloomed in all its bright array, I turned my head again to see And thot perhaps they’d look at me. But no, they gazed upon the sun As if they knew their race nigh run Would end when shrill November’s breath Would seal them soon in tombs of death. LOUISE HAMILTON. WHEN IT’S TOUGH. It’s tough to be late, just inside the door; It’s tough when you’re upon the second floor; But the toughest part of being late Is in the OFFICE, when you meet your fate. •By I who nose. THE TIGER 79 DREAMS OF FAIRYLAND. 1 sometimes wish that I could be A little girl and try and see The fairy lands of long ago Where fairies floated to and fro. The winterous knights of long ago, The ladies whom they rescued bold, The dragons whom they slew with might, The bold men whom they put to flight. Then I’d see all the mystic charms Of courts and castles old. The places where the kings and queens Were masters brave and bold. The time will fly on hastening wings And fairy scenes will fade away, But still I’ll dream of olden things When I am old and gray. ESTHER ROGERS. A TEACHER’S ERROR. A poem I must write, Although I’d rather not. I know t’will be a sight 'Tis such a lot of rot. For inspiration how I pray! A fellow student helps me some, But soon a teacher comes our way And says, “Of talking I’ll have none. Oh, if that teacher only knew The woeful havoc he had wrought! For from my brain all verses flew, And now I’m left without a thought. DOROTHY FREDERICK ’24. so THE TIGER THE SEASONS OF HIGH SCHOOL. The Spring of our High School Career Is what we call the Freshmen year, When Upper Classmen call us green And our abilities are yet unseen. Summer with all its beauties galore Is what we call the Sophomore; When our aspect on High School Life Seems to be just twice as bright. The Junior year is Autumn brown When we are seen no more to frown. We are upper classmen, dignified, And have won success in all we’ve tried. The Winter of our High School life Finds us Seniors free from strife; Its memories will live forever Though our class bonds then must we sever. HAZEL STICKLE. THE TOWN MOUSE. A town mouse to the country went A pleasant holiday she spent, Upon a farm with cousins three Whose home is in the granary. Instead of cheese and crumbs of bread On golden grains of corn she fed, And as a special treat for tea, She saw not what she used to see. One day all four mice did decide, In sacks of wheat to take a ride Upon a wagon down the hill That leads the way to the distant mill. THE TIGER 81 Then after running up the lane, That leads to where they keep the grain, On hay beds in the granary They slept as soundly as could be. At length, declared the happy mouse: “This suits me better than a house!” So, on the farm she settled down And never once returned to town. —ELIZABETH JOHNSTON. CHOP SUEY. It was a bright and sunny day, The birds were singing gay, The roses red were in full bloom, The world was empty of her gloom. The squirrels in the bushes did ramble And after the berries they’d scramble Up the trees they climb to the top, And then from one limb to another would hop. The wind did wrestle with the trees And part the branches of their leaves The robins to their God would beg That he might save their precious eggs. Then from out the hard patted earth The pretty little violets would begin to spurt, They seemed to stretch to the very extremes To get the sun’s most radiant gleams. i A POET (?) 82 THE TIGER RADIO CLUB. Officers First Semester Second Semester President, Harry Blackwood Vice-President, John Hoop Secretary, John Reeves Treasurer, Donald Zarle President, Donald Zarle Vice-President, Herbert Slater Secretary, Chester Ewing Acting Treasurer, Donald Zarle The Radio Club has been active during the past year. The club has had charge of the sale and distribution of the Scholastic this year. The plan has proven to be very successful and has provided the club with a small fund which has been very useful. The fund has been used to supply books, magazines, and other equipment needed by the club. The new equipment added this year consists of a Magnovox Loud Speaker and a battery charger. These additions have greatly increased the efficiency of the station. The sending set has been practically idle this year because of the lack of a licensed operator. It is hoped that, in the near future, some of the members will be able to secure a license because it will be necessary to have an operator in order to renew the station license which expires in the fall. At the beginning of the second semester a study of the fundamental principles of radio was taken up. A committee was appointed to provide a speaker for each meeting. One of the members is asked to speak on a subject chosen either by himself or by the committee. By following this plan some very interesting and helpful programs are arranged. A new feature was introduced this year. A small radio library was started. Some of the members used their manual training periods to construct a book-case for this purpose. During the football season some of the broadcasting stations sent out the big games, play by play, direct from the playing field. The members made listening to these games more interesting by-drawing, with a piece of chalk, a miniature field on a table in the laboratory, and moving a small object up and down the field as the plays were reported. When we consider that the field of radio is practically unexplored, we come to realize that in deriving pleasure from the science, we are unconsciously adding to our store of knowledge. Some high schools have already included radio in their curriculums. The members of the Radio Club take this opportunity to extend an invitation to all persons interested in radio work to come out and join the club. JOHN K. REEVES ’25. RADIO CLUB FRESHMEN RECEPTION. Green and bald-headed Freshmen were entertained by the upper classmen of the Beaver Falls High School, Saturday evening, September 30. Speeches were made by the presidents of the classes and some of the teachers. These were followed by a very entertaining program. Two playlets were presented, the first being, “Mechanical Jane.” In the cast were Adella Hemmeger, as Mechanical Jane, with Margaret Close and Laura Barnett portraying two old spinster ladies. The second playlet was a pantomine in which were Ruth Stewart, the one admired, and Edwin Miksch, John Reeves, Charles Townsend, Gregory Palmer and Edwin Snowden as the many suitors. This was followed by several selections by the Boys’ Glee Club. After lunch was served the High School orchestra furnished music for the remainder of the evening. COUNCIL PARTY. On a rather chilly evening of last October, one might have seen a number of persons hurrying to the home of Jane Brierly, for the student council of Beaver Falls High were holding their party on this evening. Games, dancing, music and eats were the special diversions which featured the program and some state that the last, namely that of the eats should have headed the list. All agree, however, that they enjoyed the most sociable of times and that Jane is an excellent hostess. THE TIGER 85 SENIOR PARTY, OCTOBER 21. On the night of October 21, the High School gymnasium was the scene of much activity, for the Seniors were holding their party. A delightful program was given, followed by dancing. At a late hour a Hallowe’en lunch was served and the guests departed for home. SENIOR PARTY, DECEMBER 5. On December the 5th, the Seniors were entertained in a delightful manner at the home of Elta Garvey. After an evening spent in games, practicing their “Medley,” a delicious lunch was served. As the guests departed, they were unanimous in voting Elta a fine hostess. SOPHOMORE CLASS PARTY, JANUARY DIVISION. On the eve of October 24, the class of 1925 assembled at the High School to enjoy a Masquerade party. The gymnasium was attractively decorated in Hallowe’en colors and decorations and a large number of masked figures were seen about the place. There was much fun to discover who was who and a grand march before bleachers enabled the judges to select the best costume for which a prize was given. A very enjoyable time followed and at a late hour a fine lunch was served by the committee. B JUNIOR CLASS PARTY. On Friday evening, October 27, 1922, the B Juniors, the present A Juniors, held their semi-annual class party in the gymnasium of the High School. The evening was devoted to dancing and games, one of them being a pop-drinking contest for the boys. It would be hard to say who was the winner of this. Another pleasant feature was a play entitled, “The Little Black Devil,” given by three members of the class, At the close of the party a lunch was served by the eats committee. 86 THE TIGER MID-YEAR COMMENCEMENT.

Morrows-Robbins orchestra furnished the music for the evening. A delicious lunch was served and all present enjoyed the evening. BASKET BALL TEAM ENTERTAINED. In honor of their victory over Beaver High School, the Basket Ball team of Beaver Falls High was delightfully entertained February 17, at the home of Mr. Holtzman. The feed was scheduled for six o’clock and a very fine chicken dinner was enjoyed by the guests. Those attending, besides the team, were Mr. Gensbigler, Rev. Rees and Harry Miller. Speeches were made by members of the team and visitors, Rev. Rees acting as toastmaster. An enjoyable evening was then spent and the team departed at a late hour expressing their appreciation for this fine treat by one of their most loyal supporters, Mr. Holtzman. THE TIGER 87 RECEPTION FOR FRESHMEN. February 24, 1923. A large attendance contributed to the success of the reception given Saturday evening, February 24, by the Beaver Falls High School in honor of the class of ’27. About 350 students, members of the alumni, and faculty were present. Green was the predominating color in decorations and each guest was presented with a green crepe-paper bird, which they wore during the evening. The following program was presented: Sketch, “The Picked Up Dinner.” Genevieve Leigh, Mary Gan-ley, and Clifford Smith. Musical Reading, “Gazinta” and “The Lilae Tree,” Melba Brown, with Lillian Maretsky playing the accompaniment. Reading, “The Usual Way,” Ruth Gill. Skit, “Mr. Gallagher and Mr. Sheen,” Page Hamilton and Ralph Jannuzi. Dancing followed the program and, last but not least, a delicious lunch was served. PARTY FOR MR. ACKLEY. On Saturday evening, March 3, the Girls’ Basket Ball Team held a farewell party for Mr. Ackley at the home of Mrs. Hunter. The girls arrived about 8:30 and to their good fortune Mr. Ackley was not there, but when he did come he was greatly surprised. The evening was enjoyed by all and a fine lunch was served after which the Captain, Ethel Davis, presented Mr. Ackley with a token of remembrance for the success of the year. A farewell speech was made by Mr. Ackley and at a late hour the girls departed wishing him great success in his new field of work. THE SOPHOMORE CLASS PARTY. On Friday evening, March 23, the gym was the scene of a lively class party held by the Sophomores. A good program was rendered, consisting of two plays which were ably directed by Miss Robbins with the assistance of Miss Howe. Martha Baker then entertained V 88 THE TIGER with a dance. Our jovial English teacher Mr. Heberer favored those present with a number of piano selections, after which dancing was enjoyed. A dainty lunch was served by the refreshment committee toward the close of the evening.

Those who object to pre-season training lose sight of the fact that football is miniature warfare, involving more or less physical injury, and that the players should be prepared for the game as the soldier is trained for service at the front. The present tendency to lengthen schedules and to abolish “practice” games makes the football camp more essential. Our schedule for 1922 was the most difficult one ever attempted by an Orange and Black squad. Without special training several victories would now be listed as defeats, while injuries during the season, outside of the memorable Rochester game, were few in number. In preparation for a strenuous season Coach Heckathorne called the fourteen letter men, headed by Captain Howe, to camp on the Connoquenessing at Jackson Stop where they were joined by an equal number of substitutes and beginners. Each member contributed ten dollars to the camp fund with the understanding that under certain conditions it was to be refunded at the end of the season. The site for the camp was ideal and the weather most of the time was perfect. Each day was divided into periods of work and play so that neither became monotonous. There was plenty of hard work, including necessary work around camp as well as the long morning hike and the longer period of football practice in the afternoon. But the THE TIGER 91 work was done willingly without exception, and the boys, as they rested around the camp fire each night, were confident that they had made some real progress in conditioning themselves for the opening of the season. Without that fine spirit of co-operation among the players, and with the coach, the camp could not have been successful. WOODLAWN. On Saturday, September 23, the Beaver Falls High football eleven opened the season with a victory over the Woodlawn High team, 14-0, with Hiddleson the star of the game, making both touchdowns for his team. The game was probably one of the hardest on the schedule of the Falls team as they were greatly outweighed, in the backfield especially. Hiddleson caught a punt in the first period and ran through a broken field for a touchdown. Woodlawn was dangerous at several stages of the game, but the excellent defensive tactics of the local boys prevented a score. Haude. Pettier, Howe and Hiddleson starred in the game. NEW CASTLE. On Saturday afternoon, October 7, Beaver Falls High and New Castle battled to a scoreless tie on the baseball field at Cascade Park, New Castle. With the exception of the diamond, the field was in fair condition, but the diamond was slippery, making the going hard during the first part of the game. Beaver Falls received the kick-off and ran the ball back to the center of the field where they were held for downs owing to the slippery condition of the field. Right away New Castle started to hit off tackle, where they made two first downs, but the Tigers tightened up and no more gains were made by the off tackle buck which seemed to be New Castle’s ground gainer. Exchange of punts marked the second quarter in which Littell more than held his own. Haude had an ankle injured and retired in favor of George Gabele who played a good game. This quarter ended with the ball in mid-field, each team playing the other to a standstill. At the beginning of the second half an exchange of punts gave Hiddleson the ball on the 65 yard line, who with splendid interference carried it over the goal, but was called back to the seven yard line and the officials declared he went out of bounds. On the 92 THE TIGER first play Eeaver Falls was penalized five yards after trying to penetrate the center of New Castle’s line which held firm. Littell dropped back and missed a drop kick, the ball falling about 5 feet short of the goal posts. It was a see-saw from then on, mostly in the middle of the field. As a whole it was one of the best games seen in New Castle for years. Both teams were evenly matched. Captain Howe, Schaal, Merriman and Hiddleson startled the Beaver Falls adhei'ents.

The hopes of our championship were shattered when our opponents took the game with a 13-0 score. Wilkinsburg’s team was large compared to ours, outweighing us several pounds to the man. However, on several occasions we were not daunted by weight and turned the Red and Blue back decisively defeated. But this time we stumbled and fell beneath the weight, although humbled, the Orange and Black team was in the fight every minute, making the W. P. I. A. L. Champs go to the limit. When the whistle blew as a signal for the end, Wilkinsburg realized its hardest game was over. Wilkinsburg’s first touchdown came when Beaver Falls fumbled on the first play after receiving the kick-off. Wilkinsburg used a FOOTBALL SQUAD 94 THE TIGER forward pass to good advantage, placing the ball on Beaver Falls’ five yard line where it took them four downs to shove the ball across. Wilkinsburg kicked goul. The ball see-sawed back and forth. The first half ending with the ball in our possession in mid-field. The second half was a repitition of the first. Wilkinsburg scoring again near the close of the third quarter, the ball being fumbled across the goal line where a Wilkinsburg player fell on it, making Wilkinsburg six more points to the good. The last quarter was a scene of several big gains, but were soon stopped before any damage was done. When the whistle blew the ball was again found in mid-field. Captain Howe and Littell played their usual bang-up game. Lineup: Beaver Falls—0 Wilkinsburg—13 Brown L. E. Woods Haude L. T. PefFer Schaal L. G. Wahl Howe C. C. Kiser Young _ R. G. Eagye Timm R T.

Ellwood made three first downs but they were held on the 20 yard line. After receiving the ball, Hiddleson carried it 55 yards for the first touchdown of the game. After that it seemed each time Beaver Falls received it was a race between Hiddleson and his interference THE TIGER 9.r to the goal for the next two touchdowns. Everybody on the Beaver Falls team seemed to clip out a man on each play. This gave the backfield men wonderful interference which they needed to run Ell-wood’s ends. The second half was the same story. End runs by Hiddleson and Littell, and line bucks by Merriman and Clarke gave Beaver Falls four more touchdowns, bringing the total points up to 52. The Falls lads seem to have hit their stride in this game and gave the best exhibition of football played all season. Captain Howe seemed to be in every play and proved himself to be a good leader. The backfield showed real form in clipping on every play. Never an end run being made but what the opposing end was on the ground. The whole Beaver Falls line from end to end played a great game, holding Ellwood to three first downs. For Ellwood, Parrillo, Law and Whitey Asper starred.

Sport writers tell us that of all games water polo is the roughest. However, anyone who witnessed the Beaver Falls-Rochester game will vigorously challenge that statement and if any doubt still remained, would refer him to Littell, Javens, Clarke or Merriman. The crowd was a large one, the weather was ideal, nothing but extremely hard football was played. During the first period of this great game, which was to help decide the championship of the Beaver Valley, the fighting Tigers, in the best of shape, outplayed their opponents in every department. THE TIGER 90 Who will forget the one hundred yard dash for a touchdown made by Whitey. Which by the way was one of the most spectacular and thrilling runs ever witnessed in a grid classic in the county. “Whitey” caught the ball on the five yard line but had to run behind his own goal line to dodge a Rochester tackier. From here he dodged, sidestepped and outran his tacklers, carrying the ball across for a touchdown. But to the much amazed crowd the ball was brought back by the official just because a Beaver Falls player clipped a Blue and White man from behind. It was on this play that Whitey received his injury. While lying on the ground behind the goal line, exhausted, a Rochester player dropped on him. It was due to the installation of these knockdown and drag-out tactics, that the tide turned. This accident together with the other injuries the Beaver Falls backfield received, left the Falls aggregation with only one regular backfield man to battle the remainder of the game. All considered it to be a wonderful game. Rochester “won, 12 to 0. The work of all our boys was good, but most impressive to the writer was the hard tackling of “Audrey” Schaal and Capt. Charles Howe, and the way Javens and Littell carried the ball while in the lineup. SEWICKLEY. Beaver Falls added 52 more points to their 1922 record when they defeated Sewickley High on the local field 52 to 3. The game looked good for a few minutes after the opening play, the Tigers held the Sewickley boys for downs on the 50 yard line. Taking the ball, Hiddleson, McLean and Clarke marched down the field through gaping holes made by the linesman and Timm carried the ball over for the first touchdown. Hiddleson played his usual game, making good gains off tackle and around the ends. Reese played a good game at end, stopping many end runs and turning them into the tackle. Captain “Chuck” Howe was here, there and everywhere, and played a stellar role in the victory. All the scrubs got a chance to “show” and did well, the smallest candidate on the squad was given a chance to show his wares and was given cheer after cheer. Anderson, the tall colored youth, proved to be a good sport and played a bang up game, as did McCracken, Sewickley right half. THE TIGER 97 BUTLER. With a special carload of rooters, Beaver Falls High School journeyed to Butler and met defeat to the tune of 3 to 0. Beaver Falls with three regulars missing from the backfield, staged an uphill fight and were able to run the ball to within striking distance of the Butler goal line, but lacked the punch to carry it across. Due to the rivalry between the two schools it brought out the best each had to offer, not only in playing, but also in the cheering duel which took place. Butler’s three points came in the third quarter, when their end dropped back and placed one right between the two uprights. Beaver Falls had several chances to score, having the ball on Butler’s two yard line twice in succession, but fate seemed to be against us and the ball was lost on downs. Beaver Falls, although beaten, gave the best they had to offer and the new backfield men showed that with a little more experience they would be able to keep up the pace set by the regulars. Howe, Young, and Reese played a good game on the line, while Hiddleson and Schaal tore off gain after gain in the backfield. Lineup: Beaver Falls—0 Brown ____________________R.

Freedom came to Beaver Falls with one of the biggest teams ever seen in the Beaver Falls athletic field and were confident of taking the Falls boys over which they came just within two points of doing. Beaver Falls, although considerably outweighed, fought ’til the last whistle and were able to hold the larger Freedom team to one touchdown, while the Tigers succeeded in crossing their opponents’ goal line once, along with a safety which was made early in the second quarter. This gave the Tigers a 9-7 victory, and placed them up a notch higher in the county championship. The first touchdown came after a long run by Hiddleson. The Freedom safety man bringing him down near the five yard line. From here it took Beaver Falls three downs to shove the pigskin across. The safety came at the beginning of the second quarter when Beaver Falls punted to a Freedom man, the ball slipping through his hands and rolling over the goal line where he picked it up and started to run, but was brought down behind his own goal line. As a whole this was the best game on our home field this year. Hiddleson made some of the best runs seen on the local field in years, two of them being 60 yards and one 50 yards, while Captain Howe played one of the best games of his career, getting every tackle that came his way. For Freedom the playing of Holsinger and Cullen were the bright lights. Lineup: Beaver Falls—9 Freedom—7 Brown_______ Haude _____ Young _____ Howe, Capt..

In Beaver County’s great Thanksgiving classic, Beaver Falls defeated New Brighton on the New Brighton athletic field, Oak Hill. The score: Beaver Falls, 14; New Brighton, 0. The comeback of the Falls team showed the fans that they were the best team in the valley and was a spectacle to behold. Playing like Tigers of old we outplayed our opponents in every department of the game. New Brighton was game but were not equal to the task of stopping the Beaver Falls stars. Approximately eight thousand fans witnessed the great Orange and Black victory over the Crimson and Gold. The crowd was so great and scattered that organized cheering was difficult but the din from the Falls side was terrific when their boys were nearing the goal line on several occasions. The climax was reached when the second touchdown was registered for Beaver Falls. The game was clean and hard fought, only a few penalties called by the officials. Brighton did not die easily. Twice during the second quarter Beaver Falls carried the ball within the shadow of the goal, but by superhuman efforts were prevented from scoring. All the Beaver Falls backs worked together well, with Hiddleson and Whitey skirting the flanks and Merriman, Javens and Clarke smashing the center. The Crimsons were not able to stop the offense of the Tigers. The Falls boys were full of the fighting spirit and were there to win. To watch Hiddleson and Whitey run together was a rare treat. Merriman also contributed in the clipping for the fleet runners. The line also comes in for a word of praise for the way they played their opponents and the many times they held the runners on the line of scrimmage. The Tigers were there with the goods and brought home the bacon. There was no star in the victory. They were all stars. Lineup: Beaver Falls—14 New Brighton—0 Brown L. E. . Turner Haude L. T.

The first game played with Woodlawn showed the usual ragged offense that is to be expected of all football teams the first of the season. This game was won 14-0 by good straight football and no attempt at open formation was made. It was a good test for the boys and they came through in good shape. Salem cancelled on us the next week and gave us a two weeks’ rest before the New Castle game, which was our first big game of the season. New Castle was confident of winning the game and many of our men were playing their first real game of varsity football. Harry Haude played a good game for a new man in this game and Chuck Howe and Hiddleson also starred. A touchdown by Paul Hiddleson was brought back. It was a hard fought game and both teams were exhausted when the final whistle blew. Our game at Wilkinsburg was the beginning of our tough luck. Wilkinsburg scored a touchdown on a fumble two minutes after the whistle blew. This took the heart out of our team for awhile. Their star player Coleman was responsible for the victory. Our team came back the next week and ripped the Ellwood City football team to pieces. When the game was ended our boys were on the long end of a 52-0 victory. This was the first real exhibition of football our boys had ever shown and the prospects for a clean slate the rest of the season were very bright. Half of the spectators on the side lines were from Rochester as we were to play them the following Saturday. This was one of the games we expected to win and but for the unfortunate words of the officials we might have won it. Our boys were badly crippled in this game and our team shot to pieces, after Whitey Littel with perfect interference carried the ball for a one hundred yard run, was called back because one of the players was too eager and had clipped a man unnecessarily. This was disastrous to the moral of our team together with the loss of Merriman, Littell, Javens, Rhodes and Clarke. 102 THE TIGER Our team went into the Sewickley game determined to square themselves with the fans and literally massacred them on our field 52-3. The good showing made by the new men on the team was encouraging to the coach and we expected to win a comparatively easy victory over Butler. This was another hard luck game for us. Our team had the ball down under the goal posts on two different occasions but were unable to score. A field goal for Butler won the game in the second half. Our boys could not get started right in this game and we began to fear for our last two games of the season, the next one with the heavy Freedom football team and the great Thanksgiving classic with the Crimson and Gold from across the river. Freedom came over with a large delegation of rooters and expected their two hundred pound guards and tackles with the end of another two hundred pound battering ram in the person of Holsinger to smash through a winner. Our boys went into this game with the determination to stop him before he got started. They stopped him and we won after one of the best football games played on the home field dui'ing the entire season. Our team was slowly getting back into shape and by Thanksgiving every man was ready for the battle. We went over to Brighton ready to give them our best. They expected to win, but knew they had to fight. We played a scoreless first half then ran away with them the second half, scoring two touchdowns. This was a clean cut victory and satisfied even the most critical football fan and left no shadow of doubt as to which was the better team. It was a great climax to our “in and out” season and showed what the boys could do when they were going right. SCHEDULE FOR SEASON OF 1923.

Chuck was always in there backing up the line. He was especially keen on diagnosing plays and the ground made through him at center this year could easily be measured by a foot rule. He is lost to us this year by graduation and his place will be hard to fill. “YOUNG”—Guard “Opie” was always a quiet hard working player. Anybody that ever got through the middle of the line was just lucky. “Opie,” was the “Rock of Gibraltar” for the offensive to penetrate. “MOON”—Guard “Mott’ was another real guard. “Mott” had the weight and knowledge of the game. He seldom got pushed out of his position and got more than his share of the tackles. “SCHAAL”—Guard—Fullback. “Schaalie” was more than a good guard. He was a whale of a fullback. “Schaalie” could take punishment. He could break through the line and back it up. He was a good enough guard to be picked on the “All Valley.” “GABELE”—Guard—Tackle “George” was a big boy from the suburbs. He was a perfect type of tackle, big, husky, and hard to hurt. In his first year out for Beaver Falls, he made a name for himself. “PETTLER”—End. Lynn Pettier, who was our tallest end, was on the job. He was always there to turn them in if they tried to escape around his end. “REESE.” “Garf” was not very big, but you cannot measure a player’s skill by his size, so you can’t tell how good “Garf” is ’til you see him play. A sure tackier, a heady aggressive player, “Garf” made the “All-Valley” eleven. We hope he will be with us next year. “BROWN.” “Brownie” was a real football player. His weight and speed and nerve made him a classy end. He could always be counted on to get ’em or turn ’em in. 104 THE TIGER “RHODES.” “Rhodes” has developed into an expert end man. He is fast and big enough for the job. His work this year was good and this year’s experience will make a real star out of him. “JAVENS ” “Kenny” is a “smashing” full-back. When he hits it, something always moves back. A hard man to bring down and always sure of making ground in a pinch. “MERRIMAN.” “Clair” is a great modem type of full-back. He can hit the line, punt and pass. He has a good knowledge of the game and an ideal football temperament. He was out of some important games this year but will be in great shape for “23.” “HAUDE”—1Tackle. Harry held a tackle position for his second time. Harry is a quiet, hard hitting, hard tackling player. He can always be counted on to be in the thickest of the game. The thicker the better for Harry. “TIMM”—Tackle. Dutch who is one of our large tackles played most of the season with a crippled shoulder, but never was to be outdone. Dutch is a hard player and will be greatly missed on graduating. “McCANDLESS.” “Jake” is a student of football. He knows the game like a quarterback should know it. His choice of plays was always right. A good field general and the right football attitude—that’s all any coach needs. “CLARKE.” “Morton” is there with the pep, always keeping the team going at top speed. He carries the ball well and puts snap in the team. He and Jake were a great pair. We shall be sorry to lose them. “IBBY.” “Ibby” was a versatile athlete. He could be counted on to hit the line or play end. He was always a valuable man and we hope to have him with us next year. THE TIGER 105 “LITTELL.” “Whitie”—who hasn’t heard of “Whitie?” Picked on the “All-Beaver Valley” eleven. He can punt GO yards, run with the ball and forward pass. When that is done, it is all done. They just don’t make them better than “Whitie.” “Curly’s” our captain elect. A great broken field runner and a good leader. When “Curly” gets the ball, it is usually good for twenty yards. He gained yardage steadily all year and could always be counted on to make ground. “Joe” was a steady ground gainer, a real find this year and a sure man to carry the ball. Nothing ever excited “Joe,” and we arc glad he will be with us next year. In our coaches, Heckathorne and Wherry, we have a coaching staff that is second to none in the High Schools of Pennsylvania. “Heck” notices each member of his squad as they go through their practice, and has a way about him which makes the men work hard and give their best for him. During Heck’s stay in the Beaver Falls High School, he has been more than successful turning out championship teams in every branch of sports. Mr. W’herry, although he wasn’t with us the entire season, did wonders as soon as he took up the job. He is full of pep and always hustling. Mr. Wherry gave the team some very good talks before entering the games, which was a great benefit to the members of the team. “HIDDLESON.” “McCLEAN.” COACH LETTER MEN. Howe, (Capt.) Young Reese Hiddleson Merriman McLean Moon Gabele Littell Clarke Timm Pettier McCandless E. Howarth Brown Rhodes Javens Haude Schaal 1CK) THE TIGER BOYS’ BASKETBALL. The prospects for a good basketball team were very bright at the beginning of the 1923 basketball season. With Captain Littell, Howe and McCandless, who played throughout the previous season together, and with Timm who had the experience of playing in the elimination series at Pittsburgh, it looked as though they would go through and win another championship. The only real vacancy left on the team was at center, and with Clarke and Merriman to fill the center job left vacant by the graduation of Harry McCandless, the coach had little trouble in solving that. With these six lettermen back, together with such men as Schaal, Brown, Rhodes, Hiddleson, Haude, McMahon and Baker, Beaver Falls looked forward to one of the best teams in the history of the sport in Beaver Falls High School. ALUMNI. Beaver Falls High School varsity opened their basketball season New Year’s afternoon, winning over the Old Timers to the tune of 32-25, but don’t forget it, this contest was some tussle, as any team winding from such stars as H. McCandless and Merriman of Penn State; Hamilton of Geneva; Earl McCandless and Rabinowitz of the Stude-baker Five, have to travel a fast space. Littell ran wild for the High Five, dropping them in at will, scoring 28 of his team’s thirty-two points. H. McCandless gave a fine exhibition of dribbling and shooting, caging six baskets for the “Old Timers.” Joy McCandless, who was THE TIGER 107 guarded closely by his brother, managed to roll in two baskets. The floor work and guarding of Clarke, Timm and Howe was very good. Lineup: B. F.

Before an audience of fans, who filled every seat and all available standing room, Beaver Falls High sent the Butler five home defeated 38 to 26, and had revenge for their 3 to 0 defeat in football. Led by Captain Littell, the Falls boys, namely: Clarke, Mc- Candless, Howe and Timm displayed a brilliant brand of basketball, and were never headed. Littell caged six baskets for his team, and along with this, his wonderful floor work showed that he is one of the best forwards in the league. Only once did Butler come back. This was at the beginning of the second half when Hepler got the range of the basket and began tossing them through. From the play against Butler, it looked as though Beaver Falls would go through and win another championship. Lineup: Beaver Falls—38 Butler—26 Littell, Capt. F.

Coach Heckathorne’s boys proved far superior in every department of the game than did Coach Bridenbaugh’s boys. New Castle fought a hard battle from the start but it was evident from the first whistle till the last, that they could not put up the same calibre of game as their opponents. In fact, with the exception of Clarke, the Tigers were not as good as they usually are but were still good enough to bring home the bacon. At the jump the Tigers launched an offense that could not be stopped. McCandless started the scoring by dropping one in from the side. Littell made a foul and Clarke dropped in two in succession thus leaving the Castleites behind, the first half ending 20-5 in our favor. The second half New Castle came back strong, being able to drop them in from almost everywhere, but were stopped by the Tigers’ defense men, Howe and Timm, before they got too dangerous. Approximately 200 fans accompanied the team, and their cheers could be heard throughout the entire battle. The passing and defense of the Falls five was commended from all sides, all the New Castle baskets coming from the long distance route. Preston and Stone starred for New Castle. Lineup: B. F. H.

Rochester being routed by a score of 28 to 8 and not once were the losers able to score a field goal due to the good guarding of Howe and Timm and also the way the Falls boys formed their defense. The Blue and White were no match for Coach Heckathorne’s boys. 110 THE TIGER The first string men scored at will, the first half ending with a total of 21 points to Rochester’s 5. Littell, McCandless and Merriman bewildered the Junction City lads. This trio being able to take the ball down the floor and score at will. As a whole, it was a very good game, but too one sided. The Wrecking Crew was sent into the fray in the fourth quarter and put up a good brand of basketball. Lineup: B. F. H. S.—28. R. H.

Beaver Falls triumphed over one of the strongest championship contenders when they defeated Woodlawn at Woodlawn by a score of 28-25. The game was not as close as the score indicates, as Woodlawn was only able to keep pace with the Falls lads by fouls called. Twem ty fouls being called on Beaver Falls while only one fifth that many were called on Woodlawn, but the “Tigers” put in basket after basket and overcame the handicap. Littell played a bang up game, while Dull played best for Woodlawn. In the preliminary to the Varsity game, Woodlawn seconds defeated the Beaver Falls seconds, 12 to 11. Robbins and Rhodes starred for Beaver Falls, caging two field goals apiece, while Sennett starred for Woodlawn. Lineup: Beaver Falls—28 Woodlawn—25 Littell, Capt. F. Jones McCandless F.

THE TIGER ill SHARPSVILLE. On Friday evening, January 19, Beaver Falls journeyed to Sharpsville and defeated the Mercer County High School 29 to 23, after one of the cleanest and hardest fought games seen on the enemies floor this season. Sharpsville has only been beaten three times on their home floor in seven years, two of these defeats come from Beaver Falls, who beat them both last year and this. After setting them back last year, Sharpsville was all set for the game which they titled one of the hardest games on their playing schedule. When the Beaver Falls Tigers stepped off the train at 7:05, the Sharpsville fans were gathering for the battle and they were lined up for two squares trying to secure tickets and seats for the tussel. At game time the gym was packed to the door. And it might be said here that the fans of Sharpsville treated the Beaver Falls warriors in a sportsmanlike manner. The game started off with a rush, Beaver Falls scoring five points before Sharpsville got a point. From the start the Tigers led. Six point, five points and three points was the closest Sharpsville came to Beaver Falls. Hoban and Maloney, the Sharpsville guard and forward, gave a fine exhibition of basketball while the whole Beaver Falls team worked together well and every player turned in at least one or two points. ELLWOOD CITY—JANUARY 20. The next victim of the Beaver Falls five was Ellwood City. The game was easy for Beaver Falls, the score standing 56 to 6 when the final whistle blew. The Ellwood boys were no match for the fast going Beaver Falls aggregation. They seldom got hold of the ball and only once were able to register a goal from the field. Beaver Falls moved about so fast that Ellwood could not keep track of them. It was just a case of the tip-off, a race down the floor, and then another basket. McCandless starred for Beaver Falls, caging an even dozen baskets, while Parilla played best for the Blue and White. 112 THE TIGER Lineup: Beaver Falls—56 Ellwood—fi Littell, Capt. F. Lloyd McCandless F. Johnston Clarke C._ -Chambers Timm G. Kay Howe G. Parillo Field Goals—McCandless 12, Littell 5, Clarke 2, Timm, Howe, Rhodes 2, McMahon, Hiddleson. Fouls—Littell, 2 out of 4; Hiddleson, 1 out of 2; Johnston, 4 out of 8. BEAVER GAME—JANUARY 23. Beaver Falls High proved beyond all doubt her claim to the championship of Section IV, when she defeated Beaver by a score of 34 to 22 on the Beaver floor. The game was hard fought all the way through, but the Falls lads set a pace that the Beaverites could not keep up to. The small hall was packed to the doors long before game time, and the number that were turned away equalled the number that were in the gym. The score was even during the first three quarters, but in the fourth quarter Beaver Falls cut loose. In this quarter the Orange and Black were too speedy and made three baskets to Beaver’s one. The defense was also of the highest grade, Beaver being unable to pass the close guarding of Timm and Howe, two of the best guards that ever donned a Beaver Falls uniform. The passing and offensive game of the forward trio from the Tiger School was a sight to marvel at. Littell led the scoring from the field with eight goals. McCandless was next with three. Clarke at center, although suffering from a severe cold, played a bang-up game. Timm and Howe simply could not be passed, playing like real champions. This put the Tigers in undisputed leadership of Section IV. Lineup: Beaver Falls—-34 Beaver—22 Littell, Capt. F. Baker McCandless F. Kropp Clarke C. Marsh Timm G. Muhshinski Howe G. Field goals—Littell 8, McCandless 3, Clarke. Fouls—Littell, 10 out of 14; Baker, 6 out of 11. 114 THE TIGER NEW BRIGHTON—JANUARY 27, 1923. Beaver Falls ran rough shod over New Brighton in the Brighton armory. The score standing 46-23 with the Tigers on the long end. This victory gave the Falls aggregation a win over every team in its section once, and started them on the last half of their schedule with a clean slate. The Tigers jumped into the lead at the start and were never headed. The ball was worked down the floor like clock work, the floor work and shooting of Littell, McCandless and Clarke being very good. Brighton penetrated the Beaver Falls defense but twice on account of the sterling guarding of Timm and Howe, who were every place that a Brighton player tried to make a shot. With but four minutes to play, Coach Heckathorne sent the second team into the fray. This being the first time in the history the second string was sent in against a Crimson and Gold team. Lineup: B. F. H. S.—16 New Brighton—23 Littell, Capt. F. Ken ah McCandless .. F. Bishop Clarke C. Seiple Timm G McNeese Howe G. Kirker Field Goals—Beaver Falls: Littell 4, McCandless 5, Clarke 4, Rhodes; Brighton: Waddington, Seiple. CASTLE FIVE—JANUARY 30, 1923. The Tigers romped away with another victory by defeating the highly touted Castle Five team of New Castle to the tune of 33 to 8. The same old story, Beaver Falls excelling in all departments of the game. The Castle Five was a better team than the score indicates. The string of Beaver Falls baskets were not of the lucky type, but came as a result of brilliant floor work. No matter what the Castle Five attempted to do it was stopped by the Tigers and it appeared impossible to stop the races of the Tiger lads down the floor. “Chuck” was absent from the lineup and in his place was found Clarke, with Merriman at center. The forward trio dazzled the visitors with their flashy playing. THE TIGER 115 Clarke also came down the floor five times to make the ball go through the hoops, Timm was always in their path, and Whitey, Claire and Joy couldn’t be stopped. Lineup: Beaver Falls—23 Castle Five—8 Littell, Capt. F. Craft McCandless F. Bolisko Merriman C. Gillium Timm G. _ Genkinger Clarke G. Slobonski Field Goals—Littell 4, McCandless 2, Clarke 5, Craft 1. Fouls—Littell, 13 out of 16; Craft, 6 out of 15. Substitutions— Rhodes, McMahon, Haude, Hiddleson, Baker. Wood, Hamilton, Offett. BUTLER—FEBRUARY 2. For the first time all season Beaver Falls came from behind and pulled a game from the fire against Butler at Butler, 39 to 23, with the Tigers again on the winning side. At the end of the third quarter the score stood 23 to 16 in Butler’s favor. During the first half Littell was kept on the sidelines, owing to a severe cold. He did not go into the game until the second half, but when he did things started to move. With but five minutes to play and the score standing 23 to 21, Littell, McCandless and Clarke got together and threw them through the net so fast that Butler became bewildered and lost their stride. From here on, Beaver Falls kept piling them up until the whistle came for the end, the score ending 39 to 23, Beaver Falls scoring 23 points to Butler’s none in the last quarter. Lineup: Beaver Falls—39 Butler—23 Littell, Capt. F. Bayer McCandless F. Price Merriman C. Hepler Timm G. Dufford Howe G. Parker Substitutions—Littell for Clarke, Clarke for Merriman. Field Goals—McCandless 4, Clarke 3, Littell 2; Butler: Bayer 5, Price 2, Helper, Dufford. Ilf) THE TIGER NEW CASTLE—FEBRUARY 6. By defeating- New Castle on the Falls floor the Tigers practically clinched the championship of section four and earned the right to compete in the finals at Pittsburgh. The score being 31-14. The complete superiority of the Falls team was in evidence from the start. The Orange and Black made basket after basket while New Castle found it difficult to penetrate the Beaver Falls defense. Beaver Falls took the lead from the start, Littell dropping in a foul. New Castle scored from the same place, then a field goal by Littell and one by McCandless which he duplicated before the first period was over, put the Tigers in the lead, never to be headed. The quarter ending 7 to 3. The second quarter gave the fans an exhibition of real basket ball. New Castle could not score a marker while Beaver Falls scored 3 baskets and a foul. The second half was a repetition of the first, with the exception of New Castle showing a little more life and managed to score 3 baskets to 5 for Beaver Falls. This made the ninth league victory for Beaver Falls.

Fouls—Littell, 0 out of 12; Stone, 8 out of 16. ROCHESTER—FEBRUARY 9, 1923. Beaver Falls High removed another of the few remaining obstacles in their path toward the championship when Rochester High was defeated by a 36-22 score at Rochester. Apparently the BeaVer Falls team eased up after a strenuous campaign that carried them to the top of the section and played the game careless, but good enough to win. The Falls warriors knew that it would not be a hard task to defeat Rochester again and were very confident. Nothing spectacular, except a few occasional flashes of the usual Tiger team work that can’t be stopped, stirred the large crowd. Timm and Howe both played stellar guarding games and held the Junction THE TIGER 1 17 City lads to four goals on their home floor. A number of speedy movements by this pair stopped a number of excellent chances for the basket. Littell, the captain, lead in goals from the field, making 5, while McCandless was second with 3, and Clarke and Timm next with 2 apiece. Lineup: Beaver Falls—36 Rochester—22 Littell, Capt. F. Douds McCandless F Decker Clarke . _ _C Jersey Timm G. Ewing Howe G . Campbell Field Goals—Littell 5, McCandless 3, Clarke 2, Timm 2. Douds 1, Ganoe 1, Campbell 2. Fouls—Littell, 12 out of 16; Douds, 14 out of 25. WOODLAWN—FEBRUARY 13, 1923. The Orange and Black basketiers fastened the final lock on the championship of Section Four by defeating Woodlawn in the Beaver Falls gymnasium, by a 24-11 count. It was now impossible to take the Falls quintet out of first place in the standing of the section. The husky five could not get going again, as in the Rochester game and for a while it looked as though Woodlawn would give the boys a run for their money, but they were able to toss in enough to win the contest. The guarding of Timm and Howe was the only thing that came near being standard on the playing line. The Woodlawn team did not score more than three counters in any period and Timm by some fast work, broke up many of the attempts to move the ball down the floor. Beaver Falls was able to take the ball down the floor at will but could nor locate the hoop. Littell lead in goals with 3; McCandless second with 2, and Clarke with 1. Beaver Falls—21 Lineup: Woodlawn— Littell, Capt. F. Evans McCandless . F. Fleming Clarke C. Herbert Timm G. __Dull Howe G. Carl Field Goals— -Littell 3, McCandless 2, Clarke, Evans, Fleming. Fouls—Carl, 7 out of 12; Littell, 10 out of 12. 118 THE TIGER ELLWOOD—FEBRUARY 16, 1923. Beaver Falls journeyed to Ellwood and took the Ellwoodians into camp on the Shelby floor to the tune of 29 to 16. As in the two previous games, the Tigers could not get going. In the first half, shots went around the rim and came out, the passes went wrong, the half ending with Beaver Falls on the short end of a 11 to 10 count. The second half found Beaver Falls back in their own stride, The boys cut loose, taking the lead, never to be headed again during the game. In this half, Littell displayed a barrage of field goals and the game was soon safely tucked away. The game was slow, with nothing spectacular except for the shooting of Captain Littell who caged 8 field goals. Lineup: Beaver Falls—29 Ellwood—16 Littell, Capt. F. Johnston McCandless F. Fitzgerald Merriman c. Lloyd Clarke G. Kay Howe G. Miller Field Goals—Littell 7, McCandless 1, Merriman 2, Clarke Johnston 1, Fitzgerald 1, Lloyd 2. Fouls—Littell, 5 out of 8; Johnston, 8 out of 16. Substitutions—“Wrecking Crew” for “Varsity.” FREEDOM—FEBRUARY 20. Beaver Falls came back to life after being in a slump which lasted through three games, and walloped the Freedom High School, 48 to 16. Again the old time team work came to the front that simply could not be stopped. It took the Tigers one quarter to get warmed up and in the second quarter to open the “cut out” and keep going, piling one basket up after another, the second period ending 27 to 6, in the Tigers’ favor. The third period was a repetition of the second, ending 44 to 10 points. Every man on the team took turns in scoring. Clarke and McCandless dividing honors with six apiece, while Merriman hit the hoop four times. Dan Baker also caged one.

BEAVER—FEBRUARY 23, 1923. Beaver Falls High had little trouble in administering a sound drubbing to the Beaver High quintet in the Beaver Falls gym. The Tiger guards, Howe and Timm, played a “stop ’em” game, breaking up all prospects for baskets. The Beaver team was unable to score a basket from the field in any part of the game. The Forward trio, Jake, Morton and Whitey, played a bang up game. They worked the ball down to their basket like a machine. The star actors of the show did not appear until the last act of the fourth period when “Heck” sent in the renowned “wrecking crew,” they certainly lived up to their reputation, making four field goals and also holding the Beaverites scoreless. The game ended 41 to 7 with Beaver Falls on the long end of the count. Lineup: Beaver Falls—41 Beaver—7 Littell, Capt. F. Bayliss McCandless F. Kropp Clarke f! Marsh Timm G. Craig Howe G.

Beaver Falls defeated the Crimson and Gold on the Falls gymnasium, 34 to 12 being the final verdict. 120 THE TIGER From the outset the Falls boys set the pace and were never headed. A whirlwind attack netted six baskets the first half and together with good guarding kept the Brighton quintet from registering a field goal. Howe stopped everything that came his way, as did Timm. Both of these guards have been scored upon only in four games thus far this season. Littell did not play on account of a sore leg. Merriman was found at center, and Clarke at forward. These two, together with McCandless, formed a trio which Brighton could not stop and they had no trouble in scoring at will. As usual the wrecking crew was dispatched to the scene. They played the Crimson and Gobi about even and also carried out their “funny stuff.” Lineup: Beaver Falls—31 Brighton—12 McCandless F. _ Bishop Clarke . .. __F Waddington Merriman C. Sutherland Timm _ G. McNeese Howe G. _ Kenah Field Goals—Clarke 3 I, McCandless 3, Merriman 2, Timm Rhodes, Bishop and Miller 1. Fouls—McCandless, 12 out of 15; Kenah, 8 out of 19. FREEDOM—MARCH 5, 1923. The champs of section four of the W. P. I. A. L. had little trouble defeating Freedom High. Freedom was no match for the champs but put up the best game of any of the county teams against the all-stars. Our boys had little difficulty in passing the ball through but some good guarding by Freedom, coupled with a bunch of luck shots and the first quarter ended 5 to 1 with the champs on the long end. Clarke found the loop and they were ofT. Freedom scored but one count in the first half to 25 for the Falls boys. A few passes by the famous trio and then a basket. In the fourth period the “wrecking crew” was dispatched to the scene. McCandless came out first in scoring from the field with six counters, Clarke next with four and Timm two.

Substitutions—“Wrecking Crew” for “Varsity.” Freedom—Ruhe, Mann, Cappett. GENEVA RESERVES. In a rough and tumble game on the Johnston Gymnasium, the Orange and Black defeated the Geneva Reserves quintet, 29-16. With two men out of the lineup, the Tigers went into the game with a rush and kept getting points. Beaver Falls drew first blood when Clarke threw a field goal, a double foul was called on Geneva and McCandless made them both which gave Beaver Falls a start. From here on Geneva could not stop the onrushes of the Tigers quintet, which scored at will. With the exception of several rough tactics by both teams, it was a good game. Rhodes deserves special mention for the way in which he filled “Chuck’s” shoes at guard, and Claire Merriman, who was found at center, also giving a fine exhibition of basketball. While for Geneva, Klee and Ray played best for the Reserves. Lineup: Beaver Falls—29 Geneva Reserves—16 McCandless F._ Elliott Clarke F. Emmert Merriman C. Loughry Timm G. Danver Rhodes G._ Smith Field Goals—Clarke 3, McCandless 3, Timm 2, Elliott 2, Ray, Klee. Fouls—McCandless, 11 out of 18; Elliott, 4 out of 7; Emmert, 1 out of 3; Ray, 1 out of 4. Substitutions—“Wrecking Crew” for “Varsity.” Geneva Reserves: Slater, Ray, Klee. 122 THE TIGER BRADDOCK HIGH AT TREES GYMNASIUM-MARCH 14, 1923. Beaver Falls went clown to defeat for the first time when Brad-dock High School Sectional Winners bounced them in the elimination series, 36 to 24. The game can easily be summed up in one way. Braddock was “on” and Beaver Falls was “Off”—with a capital “O.” They simply could not get going. Both teams played a good defensive game, which made all the baskets come from a long distance. In this department Braddock seemed to be perfect. Almost every shot from the middle of the (loor going through without touching the rim. All that Reed had to do was to throw the ball in the air and it would drop through. It was in the first period that Braddock gained a lead, the quar ter ending 17 to 3, with the Tigers on the short end. The second quarter found the Orange and Black playing a better brand of ball. They outscored Braddock in this quarter. The third quarter was the same as the second one. Beaver Kails again outscoring Braddock but not enough to forge into the lead. It was Whitey Littell’s brilliant work that kept Beaver Falls in the running. He made every one of the points for Beaver Falls. Had Beaver Falls played the game they were capable of, it would no doubt have been more interesting. And again had the Tigers been in better shape physically, there might have been a different tale to tell. Lineup: Beaver Falls—24 Braddock—3ti Littell, Capt. F. W. Reed McCandless F. Wroleski Clarke C. L. Reed Timm G. Sherwin Howe G. House Field Goals—Littell 3, W. Reed 5, Wroleski 3, L. Reed 4. Fouls—Littell, 18 out of 20; W. Reed, 12 out of 15. MONACA AT GENEVA GYMNASIUM-MARCH 27, 1923. Beaver Falls High successfully defended her title of Beaver County champions against Monaca High in a fast and rough game at the Geneva College gym, Tuesday evening. The final count stood 36-21. THE TIGER 123 Monaca battered away at the champs for three quarters, trailing by a few counts, tieing and then dropping back again, until the final period when the Falls warriors set a pace that the lower valley five could not keep up to. Monaca found a strong barrier in the Champ’s defense, while it appeared as though the Falls’ stellar forwards, Jake and Whitey, and the centers, Clarke and Merriman, could find the basket when a counter was deemed necessary. As the warriors cut loose in the fourth period and ran wild, the Monaca team was seemingly bewildered. Lineup: Beaver Falls—36 Monaca—21 Littell, Capt. F. Mateer McCandless F. Todd Clarke C. Hood Timm _ £ Romisher Howe G. Borkman Field Goals—Littell 3, McCandless 2, Merriman 2, Clarke 3. Fouls—Littell, 16 out of 18; Romisher, 8 out of 13; Mateer, 2 out of 7. SUMMARY. The season of 1923 for varsity basketball in the Beaver Falls High School was one of the most successful ever brought about by an Orange and Black quintet. The Tigers went through their entire schedule, which included twenty-one games, with some of the best teams in the state, but lost to the strong Braddock quintet in the first round of the elimination series at Pittsburgh. The Orange and Black scored a total of 650 points to her opponents’ 380, which is one of the best records set up by a Tiger team. The largest score piled up on Beaver Falls during the season was the one by Braddock High School, which scored 36 points. The rest of the teams played were all held to low scores and on three occasions during the season the varsity did not have a field goal scored on them, the opponents’ points all coming by the way of fouls. Led by Captain Littell, the star forward, the Tigers went through their entire schedule of 21 games, this being the greatest number of straight victories ever scored by a Beaver Falls team. They brushed aside all opposition in easy fashion and after being defeated, came back the following week and won the county championship by defeating Monaca at Geneva. This being the climax to one of the most successful seasons ever enjoyed by an Orange and Black team. 124 THE TIGER LYLE “WHITEY” LITTELL. Our incomparable captain and forward. Perhaps if you live in Abyssinia or Petrograd you have never heard of him. He is the champion player on the championship Beaver Falls team that went through an undefeated season. The champion of champions. The highest scorer, the best foul shot, the greatest floor man and individual player. When our team came to the W. P. I. A. L. eliminations, he secured every one of the 24 points against Braddock. After going through a wonderful season, just to show that it was not accidental, he entered fhe Press Foul Shooting Contest and hung up a record of 25 straight and won. Whitey has lots of honors. He deserves them all. He goes about his work in a quiet unassuming way. There is nothing of the swelled head in his make-up. Our school loves a great athlete. We shall always remember him. JOY “JAKE” McCANDLESS. Jake, by making 71 field goals, enjoys the distinction of being the highest field goal scorer on the greatest scoring machine in this section. Jake is a real team player. When he was in, he perfected a great machine; when he was out, there was something the matter with the team. His specialty is rolling them in off the banking board. Always where he ought to be at the right time. That’s what it takes to make a real player and Jake has it. When they start to picking the great forwards for the year, they will have a hard time overlooking Jake. A willing worker, a fine, quiet, gentlemanly disposition, and a great clean fighter, that’s Jake. We will lose him from our school, but we will never forget him. MORTON CLARKE. Morton is a great little center on a great big team. By his wonderful work Morton proved that a man did not have to be big to be a good center. Always fighting from start to finish, for he had to fight hard against taller and heavier men, Morton outplayed every man in his section and was picked along with the rest of the team as the best center in the section. A good student, a scrappy player, an earnest, sincere worker, always doing his best for the interest of the team. His first year of regular basketball he is a star. Too much credit cannot be given to Mort for his great work the first season. He will graduate with the rest of the team and it will take a great player to fill his shoes. THE TIGER 12o CHARLES “CHUCK” HOWE. A great guard on a great team. When they ran up against Chuck, they just stopped. It was his business to see that no one got around nim, and he was a master at looking after that very thing. When anyone made a basket on Chuck, it was more or less of an accident. Chuck is a quiet, hardworking, heady player. No matter how rough the going is, you never hear him complain. A good, hard, clean, uncomplaining player, but always in there fighting. That’s Chuck. We regret to lose him. His place will be hard to fill. WALTER “DUTCH” TIMM. Dutch is our running guard and was easily the best in the section. His specialty was shooting down the floor, dropping in a basket, then beating his opponent back under the basket. That is what a running guard has to do and Dutch did it to perfection. His points came just when the team needed them most. Dutch is a big fellow, built just right for a guard and is dangerous all the time. His long-arms pulled many a ball out of the air headed for the basket. He is a fine, quiet, hard working player, and a great fighter. He plays hard and fair. We hate to see him go, for wre know it will be a long time before our team gets another player like Dutch Timm. CLAIRE MERRIMAN. Claire is the tallest man on our squad. Built just right for a center. A good passer and shot and never disturbed by the crowd. His consistent work got him in a large number of the games and he was equally effective at guard. The string of twenty victories without a defeat could hardly have been maintained without the work of Merriman. Claire was what you might call a utility man on our championship squad. Always ready to go in and play any position and to play it well. He will not be with us next year but will always be remembered as a clean, quiet, efficient, likeable player. “WRECKING CREW.” Look out, beware, stand by, Don’t stop to ask the reason why. The team we are now- about to review, Is our famous High School Wrecking Crew. They have “finished the job” in most of our games. They play the game of rough and tumble as it should be played. Every basketball fan in the county has heard of these famous players. We shall mention them here so that their names may become im- THE TIGER 120 mortal. First and foremost comes the “Incomparable Dan Baker” at center, the North Sewickley Township star who won reno Wn while playing for the Grange of that district. Dan broke into the scoring column in the Freedom game, and sent the fans into hysterics. This great feat was almost equalled when “Jack Rabbit Rhodes” jumped completely over a man on his way down the floor and shot a basket while he was in the air with his eyes closed. These two marvelous stunts were simply part of the day’s work for the famous wrecking crew. The work of our two guards, “Invincible Harry Haude” and “Flash Hiddleson” was especially noteworthy. “Invincible Harry Haude” was our standing guard and is everything the name implies. “Flash” gets his name from his speed and quickness. He was a consistent ground gainer throughout the season. Hardly a game passed without “Flash” and the “Redoubtable McMahon” scoring first downs at will. “Redoubtable McMahon,” the foul shooter, was unfailing in his sense of direction. He invariably threw the ball in the general direction of the basket. This team will be the nucleous for the first team next year, and if fight and willingness will accomplish anything, they will have a great team. INDIVIDUAL POINT RECORDS.

There were only three girls left who had ever played on the team before, and of these one would graduate at mid-year. Then, too, basketball practice was started unusually late and there was not any time to lose. At the first call for practice a large number of girls reported. There were some who had been out the year before, and there were many new recruits who soon showed an unusual amount of talent. The girls came out faithfully during the whole season, and worked hard to make the team the best we have had for several years. There was so much material that the coach had difficulty in choosing the team. Finally when the season opened even the most hopeful were astonished at the team which Coach Ackley presented. ALUMNAE—JANUARY 1. In the game with the Alumnae the girls started out with a lot of fight and pep, determined to show the coach and school that the team this year could line up to the standard set by the previous teams. Although this was the first game of the season, and the team was composed of nearly all new members, the girls started off with a rush and soon took the lead. The Alumnae team never got started, and “Our girls” came out with the long end of the score. Our opponents were unusually strong this year, as four of the members were those who played on the regular team last year. The well remembered forward of last year’s team showed up brilliantly, but without teamwork it was difficult to pile up the points.

Beaver Falls unfortunately got started rather late in the season and it was necessary to meet Brighton for the first real game of the season. Captain Davis was in the lineup, and Beaver Falls started out determined to beat their old rival, Brighton. The girls got going in the first minute of play and never stopped until the last whistle blew, but Brighton with lots of practice and an experienced team, finally came out on the long end of the score, winning by two fouls. The first quarter Brighton was swept off their feet and the tally was 7 to 6 in our favor. Then Brighton got going and the half ended IS to 16 for Brighton. Coach Ackley’s players came back after a ten minute rest with lots of pep, and from then on to the end of the game the outcome was undecided. The score was 22 to 22 and with only a few seconds to play, Berry caged one for New Brighton just as the whistle blew. Although the fans always expect a good game between Beaver Falls and Brighton, they were utterly amazed at the way a practically green team held the Brighton girls. Many of the fans remarked that this was the best girls’ game they had ever seen. This game gave the team a good send off for the season and much was expected for later games.

The game between Beaver Falls and Rochester proved a thriller all the way through. At the end of the game the score was 12 to 12 and an extra period was played. Each side took several shots at the basket but did not succeed in making anything. In the last minute of play a foul was called on Rochester, and Beaver Falls made it. All that was necessary now was to prevent Rochester from getting a 130 THE TIGER basket or foul. This the girls succeeded in doing very well and the final score was 13 to 12.

Although Beaver Falls had lost one of their best players they were determined to win and show what they really could do if necessary. Ellwood had beaten Rochester by the same score as we had but on Rochester’s floor, so they were quite confident that they could win. Beaver Falls showed them that they must have made a miscalculation somewhere and the final score was 10-G. Beaver Falls—10 Lineup: Ellwood—G Patterson__________________F.

We had heard much of Midland, but never THE TIGER 131 met them so it was an entirely new team to us. Beaver Falls pot started right at the first of the game with their usual pep, and although the last half of the game was very rough, Beaver Falls played a good game and came out on the long end of a 12-7 score.

The second game with Midland came the same week as the first and it was our first game away from home. The car ride was not so pleasant and some of the players were half sick by the time they arrived at Midland, but evidently this did not affect their ability to play basketball, for it was at Midland that the team ran up the largest score of the season. Midland seemed quite surprised at our style of playing and became so amazed that the score became very large before they did anything to prevent the scoring. The game ended with a score of 35-22. Seemed like the score of a boys’ game. Lineup: Beaver Falls—35 Midland—22 Patterson F. McGeehan Cleckner F. Burke Barnett C. Y etso Davis, Capt. G. Folk Johnston G. _ - Benedict Field Goals— -B.

It is the longest trip away from home and the Cannonsburg girls always have a good team. The score at the end of the first half was a tie, 5-5, but in the last half Beaver Falls got their pep up and saved their rep. Cannonsburg rooters gave good support to their team and this spirit backing them made the girls work harder to win. Our girls certainly played a fine game and deserved to win. A lady member of the faculty went along with the team on account of this being a long trip. We hope Miss McKee enjoyed being with us as much as we enjoyed having her.

Owing mainly to the absence of the Captain, Beaver Falls girls met their second defeat of the season. Davis had been sick and was declared unable to play. The team did their best but were not able to overcome the handicap. The last part of the game was very rough and Cleckner came in contact with the wall and had to be helped from the floor. This shock awoke the players to the fact that they were not playing their best and things began to move but the lead was too great to overcome in a short time and the girls went gloriously down to defeat.

Either the last defeat or the thirteenth was too much for our team. Much to their sorrow they lost again. This time Woodlawn merely proved that they were too good for them. The Woodlawn players looked like giants beside our girls and the only way to get the ball away from them was to climb their frames. This two of the players tried to do and the result was personal fouls. However, the girls put up a good game and were not so far behind at the end of the game— merely eight (8) points.

Beaver Falls broke their hard luck streak and won from Ellwood by one point. The game was slow and uninteresting except toward the last when with only thirty seconds to play Ellwood slid down the fioor with the ball and bravely missed a shot. The girls were much pleased to be able to take home the “bacon” to their absent coach and prove that although he was missed he had an able assistant. m THE TIGER ver Falls—10 Ell wood—9 Patterson F.

The gills got started in the first quarter and held their lead throughout the entire game. In this game the girls made the most field goals they had ever made this season. The game was very uninteresting both from the side line and from the player’s viewpoint. Beaver Falls had not expected to play Freedom as Freedom had cancelled this game, but it was arranged a few days before the game was played. The Freedom lassies put up a game fight but Beaver Falls was just too good for them.

For the second time this season our girls met and conquered the Cannonsburg girls. The game was fast and kept the spectators watching to keep from missing anything. This is the second game that our gills allowed the visitors only one field goal. This is a pret- 136 THE TIGER ty good record considering the caliber of the teams we have met. Cannonsburg has a fine team and their teamwork is good. They are all fast dribblers as well as sure passers. The Cannonsburg girls had plenty of pep to begin the game but it was the Beaver Falls pep which lasted the longer. The reason for this was due, no doubt, to the spirit of the spectators.

NEW BRIGHTON—FEBRUARY 28. The girls met their old rivals and were defeated much to the surprise of many people. They started out with lots of pep, but were unable to keep up the speed. The captain was suffering with a sprained ankle, but from the way she got around the floor, no one would have suspected it, for the first quarter Brighton was taken by surprise and for the entire first half seemed confused by the resemblance in color of the middies. However, as soon as the Brighton girls got really started “Our lassies” were unable to stop them. “Our girls” did their best, and that is all that could be expected of them.

Beaver Falls journeyed to Woodlawn and was defeated by a score of 25-8, the worst defeat of the whole season. The girls had no support from the school, and not even girls can be expected to win with no backing. To begin with, the odds were against them, and they thought that only a miracle could make them win, but as miracles do not happen for the asking, Beaver Falls came out on the short end of the rope. Once again Woodlawn came out on top. After the game, the Woodlawn girls served a light lunch but it was touch and go, for as everyone knows “Time and tide wait for no man,” and neither do trains wait for basketball girls. The rest of the lunch is to be collected at some future time. Lineup: Beaver Falls—8 Woodlawn—25 Patterson F. _ _ Murray Cleckner F. C. Davis Barnett C. Hoffman Davis, Capt. G. Marden Johnston G.

Either due to the Coach’s departure or the desire of the girls for some fun, the outcome of the game was doubtful until the last few minutes of play when Captain Davis laughingly dropped in three on a straight just to show what she could do if she tried. Nevertheless the game was interesting and kept the spectators thrilled. As this was the last time the members of the team played together, they probably did not play as hard as they could until they saw a few more points were necessary to win the game. Then they started in to get those few points and succeeded in doing it.

SUMMARY. The girls’ basketball team of Beaver Falls High School for the season of 1923 was very successful in its chedule. Out of the fifteen games played only five were lost and although Beaver Falls only had a total of 249 to their opponents 219, they did very well, considering the practically new team and the kind of opponents they had. Davis, captain, a regular player on the team for four years, showed her usual brand of playing and was a capable leader for the team. Johnston, a new player, held down the still guard position and the scores show that she knew her job. Timm, at center, played only a few games before she graduated, but she was a help in starting the season right. Barnett, after Timm’s graduation, took hold of her job and showed that although new at the game she could do as well as the rest. Cleckner, that light-haired forward, was a terror to her guard and her record of field goals shows how well she got around the guards. The name of the fifth witch of the team is Patterson. Much credit is due the “subs” and second team this year for giving the first team the needed practice. The three “subs,” M. Davis, Anderson and Hutzley, who will receive their letters next year will surely make the first team from all indications. The absence of Davis next year in the lineup will leave a big gap. She has played four years and is improving every year, if that is possible. Barnett, although a new player, showed her caliber and THE TIGER 1:39 we regret that she did not start sooner—for she too, will graduate. Patterson will also graduate. However, there are enough players left to make a first class basketball team for next year, and we sincerely hope they will be as fortunate next year as they were this in the success of their season. Next year there will be a new coach. Mr. Ackley has found a better position and we wish him success. Although we wish the team luck, we don’t think they can ever find another coach just like our Coach Ackley. We, the members of the basketball squad, appreciate the tireless work of Mr. Ackley to make our season successful, and we wish him all the happiness and good fortune that life can give him.

The Beaver Falls High School Tennis Club met for the second election of officers in April, 1922. Charles Townsend was elected president, Louis Ingram, vice president, and Helen Maloney, secretary and treasurer. The next week the club met for the purpose of arranging a schedule for an inter-class tournament. This took place early in May. The Junior team carried away the honors, which was not so easy a feat as it may souund. Each match was strongly contested. On April 16, 1923, the third election of officers took place. Edwin McMahon was elected president, Vernon Flinner, vice president, and Laura Barnett, secretary and treasurer. Plans were discussed by the club for the starting of a Tennis Team to represent the High School and the prospects of Tennis becoming one of the major sports of the school. It is to this end that we are going to work. TRACK. The track team in the spring of 1922 in Beaver Falls was very successful. Although we lost the County Meet to the crack Beaver team by only a few points, as a whole the season was a most success- TRACK SQUAD 142 THE TIGER ful one. In the dual meets which were held with Rayen, East Palestine and New Castle, bringing together some of the best track men in Ohio and this part of Pennsylvania, we won the first two named and lost the last. Then came the W. P. I. A. L. meet at Pittsburgh. The Beaver Falls team went up and took fifth place which was exceptionally well. The relay team finished second, being able to beat the Beaver High School team which had previously beaten them in the Valley Meet. This season, although losing some of the best men through graduation, it is thought by many that the Falls team will clean up. Some of the men that were lost to the team this year are: Banks, one of the best quarter-milers in the state; Brown and Balph, both relay men, and Gabele. With one hundred candidates out besides the lettermen, Captain Rhodes, Hiddleson, Littell, Timm, Merriman, Moon and Hoy. From this assortment Coach Heckathorne will develop a track team which will find hot competition from the other schools of the County which are much stronger this year than in former years. Although the outlook for a good track team are not the best we have had in previous years, we can depend on our Coach to keep up the good work of making teams out of new material and bringing the track championship to Beaver Falls High School once more. £ THE TIGER 143 EXCHANGE. “The Clairtonian,” Clairton, Pa.

If it’s head up we’ll go to the movies; tails, we go to the dance; and if it stands on edge, we’ll study.” t t t t An officer was showing an old lady over a battleship. “This,” said he, pointing to an inscribed plate on the deck, “is where our gallant captain fell.” “No wonder,” replied the old lady, “I nearly slipped on it myself.” t t t t A woodpecker lit on a Sophomore’s head And settled down to drill, He bored away for half an hour And then he broke his bill. —A Freshie. t t t t “Mama, I want a bicycle.” “Well, you will have to ask father.” “Oh, you ask him, you’ve known him longer than I have.” t t t t She (sentimentally)—“For why should you fall for me?” He—“Y’our line was iust low enough to trip me.” t t t t “So you graduated from Barber College. What is your college yell?” “Cut his lip, cut his jaw, leave his face raw, raw, raw.” t t t t German Lady—“I want a box of talcum powder.” Clerk—“Mennens ?” Lady—“No, Vincennes.” t t t t Question—“What bird sits at every tea table?” Answer—“The swallow.” 15C) THE TIGER SPEAKING OF SOAP. Bill Young to Miss Jamison—“May I hold your palm olive?” (Palmolive.) Miss Jamison—“Not on your life-boy.” (Lifebuoy.) t t t t AN ESSAY ON FROGS. What a wonderful bird the frogs are! When he stand he sit, almost. When he hop he fly, almost, He ain’t got no sense hardly. He ain’t got no tail hardly, either. When he sit, he sit on what he ain’t got, almost. t t t t NOT WHAT THEY SEEM. You go a-walking down the street And trail a nifty Jane She trots a pair of high spool heels And floats a hefty mane. You double time and hurry up, You plot a clever scheme, But as she turns and looks around— Things ain’t what they seem. —Froth. t t t t He—“I have one of Caesar’s coins.” She—“That’s nothing, I have some of Adam’s chewing gum.” —Exchange. t t t t She—“Do you like tea?” He—“Yes, but I like the next letter better.” t t t t Customer—“Oi want a pair of shoes for me boy.” Clerk—“French Kit?” Customer—“No, Oirish.” t t t t She—“It’s my principle never to let a boy kiss me.” He—“I wish you’d forget your principle and take a little interest.” THE TIGER 157 She (angrily)—“I should think you would be ashamed to look me in the face or speak to me when on the street.” He—“I am, kinda, but I’ve got to be courteous.” —Froth. t t t t JUST FOR SPORT. Can you start a fire with a baseball match? Can you mend your gloves with a cabbage patch ? Do they call it a strike if you bat your eye? Or give you a base if you swat a fly? Is the tennis racket just the noise and clatter? If you broke the home plate could you use a platter? Is the pitcher made from silver or glass? Are the golf links iron or gold or brass? Is a caddie for storing tea? Is a locker simply a great big hey? Is a foul a chicken or is it a bird? Do they arrest a player for stealing third ? t t t t A GEOMETRY PROPOSITION. Given—I love you. To prove that—You love me. Proof—I am a lover. All the world loves a lover. You are all the world to me. You love me. —Exchange. t t t t Dean—“You can stay in college on three conditions—” Frosh—“Hoorah! I only have two.” t t t t Bright Freshie—“If you can guess how many pencils I have I’ll give you both of them.” t t t t Freshie—“Why did that man jump into the river?” World Soph—“Oh, I suppose he was after a duck.” t t t t Freshie—“When do you expect to graduate?” Senior—“Every year.” THE TIGER 1 .r 8 Diner—“1 have eaten much better steaks than this one.” Waiter (through force of habit)—“Not here, sir, not here.” —Exchange. t t t t Here’s to the Faculty, Long may they live, Even as long As the lessons they give. t t t t “Say, did I tell ou what a fright I had on my wedding day?” “Sh! You shoJd . t talk about your husband that way.”—Froth. t t t t “The breaks are .'-gainst us,” said the bad: wheels as the car slid down the hill. t t t t To the prettiest girl: Here’s a toast to the prettiest girl in the room, There’s no doubt she’s a stunner, But to point out v. h'ch one won d spoil all the fun And besides, I m not much u a runner.” —Exchange. v JL 1 t f f John’s quit smoking, So has Bill They smoked last In a powder mill. t t t t LAMENT OF A LATIN STUDENT Latin is a dead, dead language As dead as it can be It killed the Ancient Romans And that’s what’s killing me. t t t t First girl (at a basketball game)—“This is the third quarter.” Second girl—“How many quarters in a game?” THE TIGER 160 MISDIRECTED ENERGY. Chewing gum. Trying to argue a teacher into raising your marks. Waiting for a Junior to say something brilliant. t t t t Bill (pointing to the menu)—“Waiter, give me some of this.” Waiter—“Sir, the orchestra is now playing it.” t t t t Pat was a real Socialist. He said so himself. He chanced to meet his friend Mike one day and began explaining to him the mysteries of Socialism. “Now Mike, if I had two million dollars, and you didn’t have any, being a good Socialist, I’d give you one. And if I had two steam yachts and you didn’t have any, I’d give you one of my yachts. That’s Socialism. “Yes, Pat, and if you had two pigs, would you be giving me one of your pigs?” “Ah, go on with you, Mike, you know I have two pigs.” t t t t Mr. Pitzer—“I will now take some Nitric Acid and some Hydrochloric Acid.” Bob Henderson—“Good idea.” t t t t A Freshman once to Hades went, Something he wished to learn, But they sent him back to earth again He was too green to burn. •!• 4- -I- 4- Glenn Rhodes—“I’ve an invention at last that will mean a fortune!” Sophomore—“What is it?” Glenn—“Why, it’s an extra key for a typewriter. When you don’t know how to spell a word you hit that key and it makes a blur that might be an e, an a, or almost anything else.” t t t t Son—“Father, what is the Latin word for people?” Father—“I don’t know son.” Son—“Pop-uli.” Mother—“How dare you tell your father he lies?” THE TIGER 161 You can tell what kind of wheels a man has in his head by the spokes that come out of his mouth. t t t t Funny—“Why is my suit like a storage battery?” Bunny—“Because it’s charged, I guess.” t t t t Girl—“I want a yard of ribbon.” Merchant—“Shall I give you some of this loud green ribbon?” Girl—“It doesn’t make any difference. It’s for a deaf woman.” t t T t Senior—“That’s the fourth time you’ve dropped that book! You’ll break it pretty soon.” Junior—“Don’t worry; it’s a solid geometry.” t t t t AN AMBIGUOUS SIGN “What’s this extra charge for?” asked Mr. Hayseed. “We charge extra for gas burned all night,” replied the clerk. “Why, consarn your everlastin’ pictures, you’ve got a sign there as plain as day, ‘Don’t Blow Out the Gas.’ ” t t t t HOW FAST SOUND TRAVELS Sound travels at the rate of 400 yards a second, but there are ex ceptions to this rule: Scandal—1,000 yards a second. Flattery—500 yards. Truth—2 V2 yards. An Alarm Clock—Barely one foot. t t t t At one time a gentleman had occasion to give his servant a ten dollar bill. “Now, my man, how much money have I given you?” “A ten dollar William, sir,” said the servant. “A ten dollar William!” exclaimed the gentleman. “Yes, sir,” said the servant, “I’m not familiar enough with it to call it Bill.” 162 THE TIGER Johnny, on being sent to the store for plums, had been instructed lo pinch one or two to make sure they were ripe. On returning, his mother asked, “And did you pinch one or two?” “Did I?” replied victorious Johnny, “I pinched the whole darn bunch, and here’s your quarter.” f t t t “He’lo Art, how’s the hogs?” “Fine, how’s your folks?” t t t t Freshman at College—“Were you ever in Boston when Barnum robe Jumbo?” Senior—“No, but I was in Hartford when Providence Rhode Island. t t t t Small Fresh—“Gee, Chuck Howe is just like a Bermuda Onion.” Second Small Fresh—“How’s that?” First Small Fresh—“Cause he’s so big and strong.” t t t t Miss Solomon (in Latin Class)—“What is the Latin race?” Claire Merriman—“It’s a race between a Latin pony and the teacher’s goat.” X J. 4.
