It is the unity of thoughts and ideals. In unity, there is strength. In strength, the greatest accomplishments of the centuries have been made. The great empires of Babylon, Greece, Rome, and France; the wonderful discoveries of radium and insulin; and the marvelous inventions of the steam engine, locomotive, aeroplane, submarine, and X-ray are all the results of combined efforts, strength, unity of ideas, and co-operation. Why did the great empires fail and wither under the glorious sons of smaller nations ? It can be blamed on one reason alone, the lack of strength. When they were in their infancy, their ambitions were accomplished because there was unity of thought and ideals. Consider Rome. As time passed and the empire grew, their thoughts were no longer similar and their ideals were no longer uniform. Instead of looking out for their fellowmen, instead of thinking of the general welfare, instead of honoring the empire, the leaders worked for their own selfish interests, and hence the strength was divided. The result was quick and sure. It failed and now several pages of our modern History Books tell of its wonders. Such is not the case with discoveries in science and inventions. The ideas of the inventor were preserved and promoters that followed took up the project where the previous one had left off. The ideas have been developed slowly but surely until now we are living in a wonderful day and age. Now, we as student of our High School must live up to the high standards set by our predecessors and do our part to keep Beaver Falls High School on a par with the best. We must aim high and then — 44 — work our hardest to put the High School to that level before we move on and the younger students take our place. Then they in turn willingly, will respect and honor our Grand Old High School and it will be able to remain among the leaders because of the strong spirit of co-operation. Harold Bruce, ’25. GENEVA CUP AND LIFE’S AMBITION Many wonder why the High School devotes so much of its time and interest in striving for the silver cup offered by Geneva College. They see only a foolish waste of energy and enthusiasm and consider that many worthwhile and practical things of life are neglected. Yet, this ambition typifies the great purpose in life—the attempt to make your life count for something. Most people drift through life, on the easiest road, carefully avoiding rough places. This attitude spells failure. In order to accomplish success you must first of all have a definite aim in life; something that inspire your life and spurs you on to your work; something you can feel in your own soul is worthwhile. Too many people exist from day to day, tired of life’s struggles because they have no definite purpose in view. The lack of a goal and influences associated with their environment sends them here, there, and everywhere. Therefore, get an aim in life. You should determine as best as possible, to use your energies in the special occupation that you consider congenial and profitable. Day after day work with determination towards that particular end. Perhaps years will be spent in trying and failing. Nevertheless, when you are striving for the attainment of a good purpose in life, you are building character. In the end then, success resplendent and satisfying, will come to you as a reward for continuous, persistent efforts. Alice Sakraida, ’25. GENEVA COLLEGE As students of Beaver Falls High School, we are eagerly looking forward to a higher education. So each of us comes to the question, “What college shall it be?” Many have already decided. Some will attend large universities, while others will choose schools of special vocational training. What a wonderful opportunity this is—and yet, how much greater is the opportunity of attending a Christian school — 45 — of good educational standing right in our own community—Geneva College. Geneva possesses these qualities which enables it to produce men of learning, who are able to cope with the most difficult obstacles ir. every walk of life. Much of this success is due to the instructors of excellent knowledge, and furthermore, there exists that Christian environment which subconsciously molds character. Such an institution deserves the truest loyalty of every one of us. In order that it may remain an accredited institute of learning, we must spare no effort to support it. Let us be proud to own such an institution in our city, and let us, who are most blessed by it, who receive three-fourths of its value, never cease to boost it on until it has met our highest expectations. Doris Bakei , ’24. TYPEWRITING CONTESTS IN THE SENIOR CLASS Much interest was aroused during the year among the commercial students in contests held by the three different typewriter companies, the Underwood, Remington, and Royal, for speed and accuracy in typewriting. Awards were given in the different tests in accordance with the rules of the company, to various members of the Senior class. These lests not only encourage the student to try to get the greatest number of awards, but results in greater speed being attained by each contestant. After the Gold Pin has been won from the Royal Company, a Card of Recommendation is sent to the student. A duplicate of this card is on file in the Pittsburgh Branch Office, and if the student desires a position in a Royal Office, the card serves as a recommendation and introduction to officials. After the Gold Medal has been won from the Remington Company, the student may try for a Remington Portable Typewriter. If he succeeds in writing sixty words per minute for ten minutes and no errors, he wins a machine. On May 16, a representative from the Remington Company will be at the local school to give an examination, and three or four of the Seniors expect to compete. After the Silver Medal has been won from the Underwood Company, the student may compete for membership in the “Order of Accurate Typists.” Two expect to compete for these honors. - 46 - Awards from the Underwood Company and winners were as follows: Elizabeth Johnston—Certificate, Bronze Medal, Bronze Bar, Silver Medal. Violet Gumpf—Certificate, Bronze Medal, Bronze Bar, Silver Medal. Alice Anderson—Certificate, Bronze Medal, Bronze Bar. Martha Chambers—Certificate, Bronze Medal, Bronze Bar.

There the red moon throws its rays on this old remnant of chivalry. There it stands with its crumbling battlements and the long forgotten moat with its green mossed banks. The rusty drawbridge is drawn up, for no one visits it now. It is ten o’clock in the village of Kadzidlo which is at the foot of the castle. At the inn, a young travelling soldier is talking of his bravery. With his dish of sausage and his jug of beer, he relates his experiences here and there. Among them are wanderings through foreign lands. He tells of the Russian Cossacks, of the terrible Tartars; he tells of the sneaking yellow-men, of the gayety and cruelty of Paris, of the lure of the Nile and the deserts. Then all at once Basek, the town’s fool, tells of Krakow, the forgotten castle, where no one dare enter, lest he never return. Then the soldier thought that having gone through so much danger, why should he not try this? The others warn him and feel sorry, that so young a man should willingly risk his life in unnecessary dangers. But, bidding good-bye to his fellow-friends he takes his knapsack and is gone. Whistling softly to himself on his way, he reaches the castle. It is several minutes before midnight. The moon that shone so brightly before, is now hiding behind the clouds; the wind is rising; the sky is darkening; while away off there is a low rumbling sound. A light flashes through the darkness, the grand river, Vistula, is lashing its waters. — 52 — Slowly, the soldier creeps over the moat, and reaches the old castle. The door is locked, but he pushes with all his might, and the rusty lock breaks. Entering the castle, he walks through a long, cob-webbed hall decorated with shields and swords. Here and there, a bat flits across his way. Opening the door to the outer chamber, he is startled by the monotonous striking of the castle clock. One, two, three and on till it strikes twelve, midnight. Somehow the air seems ominous, the rain is beating through the broken windows; the doors are creaking on the rusty hinges, the wind is bowline among the trees. He feels his hair rising, and chills creep up and down his back, for the door bursts open and an old- wrinkled, haggard woman enters. In her hand she holds a crooked staff, her withered shoulders are covered with a thin shawi, her grey hair is hanging in wisps over her wan face, but her eyes are darting lights, that make his teeth chattel . A moan almost escapes his lips. Hobbling up to him, she brings forth a dusty table, a knife, a fork and a spoon. Then from the old-fashioned cupboard she brings a cup, a dish, some bread and wine. First pouring the wine into the cup she drinks and bids him do the same. Then breaking the bread she eats and bids him eat. Suddenly a crumbling is heard, a crash, and a flash of lightning strikes the castle, breaking its highest tower. Looking at his companion, he beholds a stately woman with dark hair and smooth face. She wears a rich gown, of brocade and velvet. A heavy necklace adorns her neck and and a crown of pearls, her head. But the eyes are the same, darting, flashing points of light. Then, raising her hand she speaks, “Stranger, you have saved me from untold sufferings, I was the wife of the owner of the castle many, many years ago.” I was proud, stately, beautiful and selfish. Punishment in the way of a curse was cast upon me, because I refused to receive an old beggar and permit him to eat even my dog’s food. I thought he was not deserving of my hospitality. But, you have broken this spell since you ate with me from the same dish and drank from the same cup ,while I was a beggar-woman. Here, take this.” And, then in the peal of thunder she vanishes. In his hand is a precious document—the hidden treasures of the castle are his. On the morrow , at the inn of Kadzidlo, again with his dish of sausage and jug of beer, he told his story. Valeria Bohden, ’26. THE MILLIONAIRE PAUPER “Where did that kid go again?” said the governess of the Poor Farm of Quakerville. The girl referred to was Molly Smith, an or- — 53 — phan, who had been brought there when she was found on the street some twelve years before. But this time Molly had disappeared and left the farm for good. She was a slender, graceful girl of thirteen summers, very beautiful and attractive. One who had not known that she was reared in a poor farm could never have told it, for her smooth, white hands and delicate complexion told of nothing but gentleness. She had left the farm to seek employment as a dish washer in Madame Tower’s School for Girls in New York City. Madame had promised to help her get an education. On arriving at the school Molly was ushered into her presence. “My dear girl, if you wish so much for an education, you shall have it.” “I thank you and promise to live so as to make you proud of me,’' said Molly. Although Molly had no friends among the girls of the school she lived in contentment and happiness. She had one staunch friend in Madame Tower. The year passed quickly and she saved every penny she could toward her high school life. At last Madame Towers told her she was to be put in the High School division. Oh, how happy she was! Now she could buy that new dress and be allowed to go to the entertainment hall after school hours. Margaret Evans, sister of the society leader of the school, Carolina Evans, was not put in the High School Classes. She was jealous of Molly and confided her troubles to her sister. The girls vowed to get revenge on the pauper. The first entertainment was, of course, the Freshman Reception. Molly had not decided whether she would be present at that or not. The girls made a plan by which they would insult Molly, the pauper, before the school. To be sure that she would be present Carolina called on her one evening. “Molly are you going to the entertainment?” “1 am not sure,” said Molly. “I’ll lend you a dress if that is what you need.” “Thank you, but 1 couldn’t possibly wear your dress and besides I’d buy one of my own, if I were going.” “Oh, would you? Have you any idea how much it would cost?” “I know they are not cheap. Perhaps I won’t go.” “Remember you have a friend in me when you need any clothes. Mother always told us to help the poor.” She was gone. What a relief to poor Molly. Why had she spoken in that way? Did they think she couldn’t afford a new dress? But poor little meek Molly didn’t see any trick in the whole matter. She was too innocent. Next day Molly got out her savings, went — 54 — THE ORCHESTRA down to the Marvey Department Store and purchased a pink taffeta dress in which she appeared on the night of the entertainment. A1 though she didn’t know it, she had spoiled their first plan. And so the evening was spent happily by all. Everything seemed to turn out differently than the girls had expected. Her sophomore year passed very pleasantly. She was a junior and head of her class before she realized it. Madame Towers said to her one day: “My dear girl, you are surely living up to what you told me two years ago.” “Thank you, Madame Towers. Your kindness has helped me.” It was the last year of school for Carolina Evans, and she was determined that the pauper would get what was coming to her yet. She organized a club called the “Tangley Bunch.” She would let the girls of the Junior class vote for those who were to be members. By this method she thought Molly, the pauper, would be excluded. Great was her surprise when Molly was voted for by every member of her class, as president. The Juniors out-voted the Seniors by a majority of four. Molly was president. Carolina, of course, was the Seniors’ choice. Thus Molly had out-studied Margaret Evans, then out-witted Carolina. The Seniors thought of a new plan. They would have a party, invite a partner for every one except Molly. Any way, who would want a pauper for their partner? Carolina again delivered the invitation to Molly Smith. During the school hours there was a regular buzz, buzz, about the party. Mostly of course about what they were going to wear. At last the night arrived. Molly was greeted at the door by Carolina. “Ha,” thought Carolina, “I have you in a trap at last.” Molly soon realized she had no partner, and that the girls all shunned her. She felt like crying. How was she to have a good time? If only Madame Towers would hurry. How could she spend the time until she would arrive? But there was one in the company who seemed to see how beautiful the little lone girl was. It was Mr. Richard Dawers, a young lawyer, the one who had been chosen as a partner for Carolina. “Carolina, who is that girl in the blue with the beautiful hair?” he asked, as he gazed at Molly. “Only a-a-a-a student,” said she rather slowly. “I would like to know her.” She left him for a minute, but he wasn’t sorry, in fact he was glad. Madame Towers had come and was talking to the girl. He went over and spoke to Madame, she in turn introduced him to Molly. He found Molly very interesting and spent part of the evening with — 56 — THE LITERARY TEAM her. If ever a girl was angry it was Carolina Evans. That pauper defeated her plans every time. Now she had captured her partner. In the days that followed Mr. Richard Dawers became the dear friend of Molly and one evening when he called he told her of his work. “I am a lawyer you see,” said he, “We do every kind of research work even to finding the missing heiress.” “Tell me more. It interests me as I wish to be a lawyer myself some day. Maybe I can help,” said Molly. “The girl I referred to is Eileen Vanley Marshal. She is about your age, I think. You see she is an heiress of millions and can’t be found. We have searched eight years for her. The only identification mark is a baby’s ring with the initials E. V. M. and maybe she hasn’t that any more. Her grandfather is old Len Marshal about five times a millionaire. She is the sole heiress. “Let me help. I would be great fun,” said Molly. He gave her the addresses of seven people and told her to write to them for information. That evening Molly went into the work body and soul. She had written the letters and was now reading a book Madame Towers had given her. Never had she been so happy. However, weeks grew into months and she never received the long wished for letters, not one of the seven had been answered. One day she decided to visit the Quakerville Poor Farm. She told Richard that she was going to pay a visit to her home town for not in the world would she let him know' she had lived in the Poor House. On her arrival the first to greet her was the governess. “So here’s the kid back again. I knew you’d come back, Molly Smith. What have you been doing? The years sure made you pretty.” “I’ve been away at school Miss Meanes.” “Who ever heard of a pauper being away at school. Ha, ha.” She didn’t know how the last sentence tore at the heart of poor Molly. Molly’s stay there was very brief for she wanted to get back to the city. Before she left, Miss Meanes gave her a suitcase and a rusty key. “I guess you’d be takin’ these things since they’re your belongings and I’ve been saving ’em for you for all these years. I always thought you’d come back for ’em.” “What are they, Miss Meanes?” “Why your baby things. The little petticoats and all. They brought you here in ’em. Don’t you be tearing ’em up either. Just keep ’em you might need ’em someday. Never can tell. No you can’t, just look at Ann Perkins—” “Thank you,” said Molly, interrupting- the long speech she knew would follow. “And goodbye.” -58 - When Molly arrived in New York, Richard was at the depot to meet her. “Madame is ill, Molly, she needs you.” They wei'e soon in Madame’s room. “My dear I have been very lonely since you went down there. T hope you had a pleasant time.” “I had, Madame, very pleasant time indeed. Thank you.” “I have a chill. Get me a piece of flannel, dear,” said Madame later in the evening. Molly couldn’t find any. Then it came to her that there might be some in the suit case. Richard opened it, and to their astonished eyes came the delicate but very pretty baby clothes all of silk. Molly found a piece of flannel. In the afternoon of the next day, Richard said, “I want you to go down to the court with me, Molly.” “For what?” “You will see,” he replied. On arriving at the court house, Molly was ushered into the presence of a stout man whom Richard introduced as Judge Calvin. The Judge began to read: “Last will and testament of Len Marshal”------- “Why did you read that to me?” said Molly. “Because,” said Richard, “You ai‘e Eileen Vanley Marshal.” “Oh,” was all she could say. “I found the ring I had been seeking for over eight years, sewed to the hem of the baby dress in your suitcase. So you see that solves the problem. You are the Heiress.” Molly was dismissed but Richard was detained to sign the papers. She came out of the court room a new girl. Yes, even her name had been changed. Was she dreaming? Was it true that she was Eileen V. Marshal, whom she had helped to seek? It seemed too beautiful to be true. Soon Richard caught up to her, and hand in hand they walked on into the paths of life. ELEANOR SHUCKEKOW. A TOONGA SACRIFICE The men sat in easy chairs and smoked. The atmosphere was blue. They had been relating stories—weird stories of supernatural things. Each one had related some narrative of mystery—all except a square-jawed, keen-eyed young chap who lounged in a recumbent position fingering a cigarette. One of the elder men turned to him, “Well Tully—I guess it’s up to you. You should be able to entertain us royally having been to all four corners of the earth.” Tully yawned, glanced through smoky windows at the blurred lights in the haze of a London fog and then began. His voice was — 60 — sort of draw], yet clear and distinct. It reminded one of a cool pray dawn with just a flush in the East Immediately I succumbed to the charm of a story told by a narrator who holds his listeners spellbound. “I was down in the Islands two years apo, just after the war, you know. Odd place—any of those islands and the natives too. I lived in a villa about a half-mile out of Toonga, the principal town. Toonga is the name of the island as well; it belongs to the Pelew group. Well, after you live down there so long you begin to sympathize with natives—but you can never understand them. They are queer.” Tully paused, tapped his cigarette nervously and then proceeded. “On this island there is a custom—of sacrifice. Every seven years a sacrifice is made to the sea, to appease some .sea monster and to bring pearls in abundance to the fisheries From the description I decided the sea monster must be a giant octopus and I was told the sacrifices must be living—living human beings.” Tully’s listeners thrilled. “The time was due in a fort-night. The natives were excited, roused to a frenzy. There were dances and a lot of other doings night after night. The tom-toms beat continuously. There is something in the sound of them in the stillness of the night that gets you. 1 wanted to go and leap with the mad devils who danced in the gleam of ruddy fires. The sacrifices are alternately a man or a woman; this time the sea-gift was to be a man. You must know that the government has been unable to stop this practice. It would lead to a serious uprising and just after the war it would only plunge us into more slaughter on a smaller scale. Seven years previous a beautiful native-girl had served as food for the Sea-devil’ (as Toonga’s inhabitants styled the monster) just a few hours before the government boats steamed into the bay to prevent the rite. Those natives are crafty and religious fanatics. This time the government I presume had forgotten the ceremony and I couldn’t interfere. There were only five other white men in Toonga at the time, and I was alone on my mission—a government •affair I am not permitted to discuss. I caught the rumor that this rite was to be performed at sunset and somehow I wanted to see it. It was said that no white man had ever witnessed the ceremony. I stood in pretty well with the natives but I was taking no chances— not in that part of the world—and I obtained sufficient information from my trust worthy and devoted servant. He understood that I wanted only to observe without interference. He stated, however, that I must be cautious, discovery meant a native knife under the shoulder blade. In the heat of the afternoon sun I strolled leisurely into the jungle, following a dim, round about trail, according to Sana’s direc- — 61 — tions. I soon came to a point where the beach jutted well out into the sea parallel to a rocky ledge—with a sheer drop of three hundred feet. The water at the bottom of the cliff was somewhat murky in appearance. It was there that the sea-monster dwelt in some subterranean cave at the base of the cliff. I concealed myself in a dense mass or hammock of green vines and waited. From where I lay ] could view the entire sea for a mile around and could see all of the cliff that glistened like polished jet in the sun. As I waited somewhat impatiently I thought over the information I had received. The one chosen as a gift of the sea must be perfect in physique and willing- to go to his death without the least resistance. The death would be horrible. A cold sweat broke out on me as I thought of the thing that awaited his prey below. A true son or daughter of Toonga is never faint-hearted and it is considered an honour and immorality to be selected as the sea-devil’s victim. The victim must go at sunset to the west coast of the island, there he must face death alone, there dive from the precipice to death in the murky depths at the base. During the intervals of seven years, each day at sunset food is thrown to the devil-god, small game, bushels of fish and birds the natives snare or trap. The scene fascinated me. The sinking sun had painted the entire sky a pulsing rose. Toward the east the tint was not quite so vivid. The West was marked by a splash of crimson-like blood. The phenomenon was awful—it made me shudder with its strange beauty. The sea was a living mass of molten gold that shimmered and gleamed in the sunset’s splendor. Then I saw coming around the white curve of the beach, a native youth.. His bronze body glistened in the sun, his stride was lithe and free. Every movement disclosed smooth, rippling muscles in full play. 1 knew that he must be from some line of native kings and that lie was to be the living sacrifice even before I perceived the red death seal around his neck. As he passed my place of concealment I saw that his profile was like that of a Grecian God, a high intellectual forehead, a finely chiseled nose, a sensitive touch to the full curve of his lips and well moulded chin. His eyes were dark pools of mystery but there was a fire in their depths. He glided past and disappeared into the jungle at my right. A few seconds later my wondering eyes rested on the cliff. A figure of remarkable physique stood silhouetted against the glory of the dying day, arms raised to the heavens in a perfect attitude of appeal, head thrown back and facing the flaming West. A moment the figure paused, trembling, quivering on the very verge of that naked cliff and then—the form hurtled through space straight as an arrow into the depths of that sheen of gold—into the depths of eternity. — 62 — FOR BETTER OR FOR WORSE ? Horror stricken, trembling in every limb, I was powerless to move for as the body struck the water, one, then two, then four great long arms of the blood-sucking ocotpus seized their pi'ey. The water became a seething mass of an inky black. The tentacles drew their prey under. Suddenly, the water became slightly suffused with red, and— that was all. I ran from the spot, half-blind with a nameless dread. One white man had witnessed a Toonga sacrifice, and I hope to God, that another one never shall! Tully’s voice broke. The clubmen were in a trance, the silence could almost be heard. Tully’s voice strangely calm, snapped the tenseness. “Gentlemen, my story is not finished.” Yesterday on the Pall Mall I saw a face I had seen before, one I can never forget. It was that of the native-prince, the poor-devil I had pitied so in meeting such an awful death, and because he was so young, the best blood of the island. When he dived from the cliff I supposed it meant inevitable death, I think so yet. The victim carried no weapon of defense. Even with a knife the chance of escape is small unless a blow is dealt between the eyes of the octopus. Gentlemen, I repeat that I saw that native in civilian clothes yesterday. One glimpse sufficed, that same poise of head, that same physical perfection, that same tawny grace. The gleam of white teeth, and the flash of those dark eyes with the fire in their depths. I am not mistaken. The prince did not make that dive, did not live up to the honour of the sacrifice, or there must have been a substitution for him made, or else,” Tully crushed his cigarette in his sinewy hand, “or else —that native has Houdini beaten by a thousand tricks.” Dorothy Raymer, ’20. - 64 - GIKL’S INDOOR EXHIBITION The first annual indoor exhibition was given by the girl’s physical education classes of the High School on Friday afternoon and evening, December 11, 1924, under the direction of Miss Eckert, Physical Education Director. The afternoon demonstration was given for the students of the high school and grades, that in the evening for the parents and friends of the students. The program consisted of a number of demonstrations given by the different classes of physical education. A grand march, in eluding all the girls, opened the exhibition. Following this the Freshman and Sophmore girls formed the letters B. F. H. S. A series of gymnastic exercises were then given at the command and count of Miss Eckert. Dressed to represent a French Doll, Lilly May Johnston gave a solo toe dance. With her quaint “Papa-Mama,” she gave a very pleasing impersonation of a mechanical doll. The Scarf Dance was very gracefully given. The girls, dressed in white and using scarfs of pastel shades, presented a very beautiful appearance. The Mimetic Drill, a mimicry of different athletic features, proved very amusing. Next came a very complicated drill using Indian Clubs. This was led by Mary Carlton. The Parade of the Wooden Soldiers probably appealed most to the audience. It was a costume drill given to popular music. This was a new feature taken from the Russian play “Sheaux Souris.” — 65 — The Freshman girl’s Hornpipe Dance was certainly appreciated by the audience. The squad in Marching Tactics demonstrated alertness and quickness of the mind and body working together. The Volley Ball Game was probably the most interesting to the gilds themselves, as it was the championship game of the Volley Ball Tournament previously held in all the classes. This last game was between the two teams captained by Elizabeth Johnston and Blanche Hutzley. Johnston’s team was proclaimed victorious after a closely contested game. FLORENCE E. FRAZIER, ’24. SOPHOMORE PARTY f I On Saturday night, March 29, the gym witnessed a lively gathering by an equally lively crowd, namely, the Sophomores. At 8:15 o’clock the crowd quieted enough to listen to the marvelous entertainment presented by an all-star cast. Immediately after the entertainment a track meet was held in which prizes were awarded to the winners by Mr. Williams. This was followed by a delicious lunch that had everybody “rarin’ to go.” They later got their wish when the boys started to swing tbeir fair damsels around and around. At 10:45 o’clock after repeated approvals of a good time had been registered, tbe party was dismissed with the final melody, “Home Sweet Home.” RED CROSS DRIVE The Red Cross drive this year was carried on with tbe same “go get it” spirit that has prevailed for the past years. In most of the rooms a “collector” for both the subscriptions and the money was appointed. These so-called “collectors” saw that the money was turned over to the teacher, that the subscriber received a badge for the subscription and that his or her name was put up in the very best form on a large Red Cross ledger usually placed above the front blackboard. The “drive” took place an entire week and, at the close of this pei'iod, a string of subscribers were listed on each ledger. The fact of our pushing this over the top in such a satisfactory manner deserves much credit for our school. — 66 — GIRL RESERVES The Girl Reserve Club, organized this year in our High School, has been very successful, considering the short time of its existence. The girls entered into the spirit of the club with an enthusiasm that increased throughout the year. The purpose of the Girl Reserves is similar to that of the Hi-Y. It is attempting to do for the girls what the Hi-Y Club is doing for the boys. The program for the year is planned in order to afford the best development of the spiritual, the mental, and the physical sides of life. The program this year was under the supervision of Miss Carey and Miss Jamison, faculty advisors, Mrs. Seimon, a member of the Board of Education, and Grace Walsh, of the Alumna. The acquiring of an alert mind is one of the fundamental principles of the school, but this has also been included in the purpose of the Girl Reserves. Different speakers addressed the girls at the meetings on very helpful subjects. One of these speakers was Miss West, the National Girl Reserve Secretary. The Club was very fortunate in having Miss West and her talk helped them a great deal. The spiritual side of the program likewise was not neglected. A service supported by the Girl Reserve Club as a whole, was conducted — 67 — by the Hi-Y in the Baptist Church. This meeting attracted the attention of the townspeople to the nobility of purpose in both organizations. Later the girls attended another service, not only as guests, but also as participants in the program. The general Girl Reserve Convention in Pittsburgh was attended by three representatives who, on their return, gave to the Club a vivid description of all ceremonies and activities they had witnessed. The social side, too, was given due attention. Many parties were held and the good times will never be forgotten. The Girl Reserves have done much toward raising the moral standard of the High School girls and toward cultivating a feeling of good fellowship. It is hoped that in the near future this fellowship will grow to become a part of the life of every girl who enters High School. The girls are looking forward to far greater things next year and the years to come. BETTY MERRIMAX, ’24. — 6S — THE GIRL’S RESERVES THE Hl-Y CLUB HI-Y As a matter of fact the Hi-Y Club has been very active during the past year and its work in the betterment of the school is quite promising. The Hi-Y lives up to high ideals in all departments of school and work whether it is along social, athletic, religious or scholastic lines. The Hi-Y has been functioning properly due to the advice and guiding of Rev. Rees and Mr. Heckathorne. The achievements and accomplishments of the club have been very pronounced under their leadership. The Hi-Y club has done well in religious lines. One Sunday night the boys all went to the Baptist Church where a fine program was rendered. On another Sunday night a similar program including the Girls’ Reserves, was presented at the Presbyterian Church. Several of the boys and girls gave talks on the objects of both organizations respectively. Also several banquets and luncheons were held by the Hi-Y where the amount of fun and jollity was unlimited. More wonderful work by the Hi-Y is looked forward to in the coming year and if the new boys live up to expectations, the Hi-Y will be a succesful organization and a great help to both town and school.

With smiles that ease the tired mind With greetings that you love; That somehow when you look on them Bring blessings from above. And when I’m very old and gray, I’ll look it through some dreary day; A bright clear picture I shall see Of pleasant scenes that used to be. WILDA ROBERTS. A DREAM I thought I dwelt in realms above, Where all is full of joy and love, Where everyone is glad and gay, And little children laugh and play. — 73 — One never hears a word of scorn, Nor sees a beggar sad and torn, Each person does a friendly deed, And helps his neighbor, when in need. When thru the clouds the sun did gleam, Alas! I found ’twas but a dream, So now let’s try some good to do, To make this little dream come true. GRACE MILLER. CIRCUS DAY Why, all the people gathered in town, Why all the smiles and nary a frown? Seems it’s the busiest day of the year, I’ve solved the problem, a Circus is here. The main circus tent stands on the right, All kinds of sideshows, oh what a sight; 'I'lie people are excited as they gaze around, Waiting the time for the tin horn to sound. Then comes the hour that its time to begin, AJ1 hear the sound of the horn of tin; Children are lost in the midst of the throng, But that’s all right they’ll be found ere long. Finally the tent is packed to its fill, If they didn’t get you—the boys in white will; Popcorn and peanuts and all kinds of stuff, You eat and you eat but you can’t get enough. Then an announcement falls on the ear, “Look out! Make room!” the animals are here; Jumbo is first—the king of the throng , He’s led that procession for ever so long. Horses and dogs and lions too, Ladies and gentlemen—clowns in blue; All make a sight that surely is grand Marching around to the time of the band. Donkeys and monkeys and a kangaroo,, All do tricks like the school they’d been through. Men fight with tigers and the wrestling bear, Makes thrilling escapes by the breadth of a hair. Horses act wild and jump o’er the fence, But that’s not queer for they’ve got hoss sense; Riders and acrobats all invite death In such thrills as they give, you can’t get your breath. Tricks of the animals roll along like a song, Cheers upon cheers burst forth from the throng; The people are amused for an hour or more, Then comes the time that the circus is o’er. • V «lV Wonderful, wonderful, all the crowd say, The greatest affair for many a day; One fact to be added that’s surely no joke, When the people go home they are all dead broke. HAROLD BRUCE, ’25. THE GARDEN As I wandered through the garden, On a summer day so clear, I discovered that I’d never seen Half the beauties that were there. There were many, many, flowers Flowers of today and those of old, Everyone with some sweet message That had ne’er before been told. There were roses, white and red ones, Hollyhocks and asters too, Each sweet flower gave her perfume, Each one showed her brightest hue. There I found the peace I longed for, In that flower garden neat, There the flowers breathe their message Ever pure and ever swreet. — 75 — JEAN GRAY, ’25. COLUMBUS Columbus stood upon the deck, And looked with eagle eye, And all that he could see afar Was endless sea and sky. His men grew restless day by day, And would have turned towards home; But he had grit, and fight and pep, And kept on till he won. So we must seek and persevere, And work till we are done. Then with Columbus we can say, “I’ve won, I’ve won, I’ve won.” JOHN K .REEVES, ’25. THE SUBSTITUTE The battle see-sawed back and forth; The players fought for all their worth. In spite of rooters deaf’ning roar Not either team could make a score. Around the end and thru’ the line Went nimble backs, time after time; But neither team could gain much ground. And not a weak spot yet was found. And now in midst of fierce onsluaught. In which our tackle well had fought, His head collided with a boot, And then they called a substitute. The game went on much as before, With all the players tired and sore; But yet a change had taken place; The game was played at faster pace. — 76 The Tigers now were gaining ground. A hole through tackle they had found. The substitute was playing well But rooters for the backs did yell. He made his plunges all unseen, The others acted as a screen But he who fights and plays the game Will surely get his chance for fame. The ball was on the three-yard line, And still our men were playing fine; But just then some one dropt the ball. The players all did quickly fall . The whistle blew; the game was o’er; The teams got up—there was a roar; Across the line, with that old fruit There lay a smiling substitute. JOHN K. REEVES, '25. TO A BUTTERCUP Buttercup, flower of the yellow dye, I see thy cheerful face Greeting and nodding everywhere Careless of time and place. In boggy field or public road In cultured garden’s pale You sport your petals satin-soft, And down within the vale. You cast your loveliness around Where’er you chance to be And you shall always, buttercup, Be a flower dear to me. FERNE FUNKHOUSER, ’25. — 77 — TO THE EVENING STAR O lovely star of Even Still flash your silver light Into the hearts of tortured men And on their blinded sight. Let fall the splendours of thy beam In greatest glory shed To tell that oft by thee alone A weary traveler’s led. O wondrous star of Even Long be undimmed the glow Of thy bright beams which fall upon The pilgrim’s path below. That through pathways rough and dark, His weary steps have gone. He may from thee still courage bear Go boldly journey on. MARGARET STOLZ, ’25. Silas Mamer, in a story old. Was falsely convicted of stealing gold So, disallusioned, sick at heart. He left his home for a distant part. His faith in God and man was gone. He cared no more to carry on. His friendship for his fellow-men. Who now seemed thieves; their world a den. And far away he worked at his loom; For money he worked mom, night and noon; At last his money became his God; When they spoke of the miser, his neighbors were awed. One day a thief his gold did steal. No more could Silas cease work and kneel To gold; his life became an empty dream And death to him did welcome seem. - 78 But God’s kind ways are seldom known, And Marner’s life came into his own; For on a stormy winter’s night, A God-send saved him from his plight. His faith in God and man returned, A yearning deep within him burned . For Eppie’s sake; he became once more, A man with men forever more. JACOB VENGER, ’2.r� . A person of benevolent turn of mind, Who always preached cheer to the whole of mankind, Came once on a scholar of more sober bent Who gave out an impression of sadder intent The apostle of cheer then cried, “Laugh out loud,’ ’ “There’s a lining of silver in life’s darkest cloud.” The scholar disturbed thus rudely from thought, For the point of the sudden interruption he sought. Then with a twinkle, that barely showed in his eyes, He retorted to the benevolent person’s surprise, “There’s a bottom to the ocean,” he slowly said frowning, “But that does no good to a person who’s drowning.” JACOB SALMON, ’25. GHOSTS OF YESTERDAY? Far on yonder mountain, A Silhouette against the sky Stood the Lonely Redman Last of his tribe to die. Survivor of a savage race, Victim of the white man’s greed, Age old sorrow on his face, Born of an unfair deed. Deep in the savage breast, Beats a heart of hate, Lies a longing that has no rest, A soul that must always wait. — 79 — Once again the call to the fray, Echoes o’er the hill, Only the Ghosts of Yesterday, Respond to the call that used to thrill. RUTH GILL, ’25. SPRING Hark! ’Tis the voice of Springtime Sounding from glade and hill, The bright warm sun is beaming On every joyous rill. The little brook awakening From out its winter sleep, Goes tinkling merrily on its way To join the river deep. The baby lambs so soft and white, Are frolicking in the sun, The birds are singing in the trees, That Spring has now begun. The trees are sending forth their buds. The earth its shoots of green, On every hand in every way Is Nature’s glory seen. BLANCHE LAUGHENY, ’25. FAIRYLAND Come, oh, come away with me, We’ll leave this land forever, And sail away in a fairy bark Down the shining river . And there we’ll go on a shining ship, Across a silver sea, To a land of love, and amity, A land of silvery symphony. — So — The Fairy fiddlers ply their bows, The Fairy Queen wears silver shoes, And Fairy maids at pearly dawn, Ply their brooms to cobwebb’d lawns. And Fairy choirs their anthems sing, In far-off heav’n the echo rings, Of the joy and peace, Good will to men, That reigns supreme in Fairyland. NELLIE CALER, ’25. WINTER The forests bare are clothed in white, The moon shines down with radiant light, The stars peep out, the snow doth shine With silvery luster, a sight sublime. The mighty oak its mantle shorn, A shadow on the snow is born, The wind is still, the night is calm, A silent spirit is borne along. JOHN ELMES, ’25. YOU SHALL REST AT EVE Traveler, faint not on the road, Droop not from the parching sun, Onward, onward, with your load Till the night is won. Onward though your bleeding feet From the narrow path would leave, Onward, through despair and heat, You shall rest at eve. JESSIE SCHRODER, ’25. — 8i — A morning; sky so wide and blue, The woods in sun and shadow too. A scarlet touch to all the trees, The only voice—the rustling: leaves. The forest loam ’neath Paches’ feet, The fall wind blowing: crisp and sweet. An easy lope upon the road. Oh the out of doors for my abode! Dark pines against the crimson sky, The purple hills in mystery lie. A wolf cry on the wind is borne, And Silvery Darkness reigns ’till morn. The moon climbs up beyond the hills, The forest trail in silver thrills. Pache’ glides on at a silent pace. Oh life is for me a glorious race! DOROTHY RAYMER, ’2d. MAY DAY—LYLIAN BOOTS, MAY QUEEN The annual Physical Education Exhibition was again presented by the schools and the large crowds present proved by their enthusiastic applause, that the affair was a great success. Picturesque dances, difficult drills and exciting games delighted the spectators, and enlisted them all to the cause of Physical Education in the schools. First grade children, dressed in white, opened the program with a ribbon dance. The skill and ease in which they executed their part of the entertainment was very remarkable, considering the age of the children. Second grade children followed with a novel flag drill. The perfect rhythm of the exercise held the audience spellbound. The Yankee Doodle dance by the girls of the third and fourth grades was one of the most enjoyable features of the program and added much to the success of the afternoon. Boys of the third and fourth grades, not to be outdone by the girls, excelled in exciting games. This different type of amusement introduced, prevented any possible chance of monotony or weariness. Fifth and sixth grade girls returned to the picturesque phase. They presented a dance, Green Sleeves, with skill beyond the expectation of anyone. The following drill, by the seventh and eighth grade girls was a fitting climax to the remarkable entertainment given by the grades. The Jumping Jack Drill, could not be surpassed in the enjoyment that it afforded. The High School girls began their part of the exhibition with a Hoop Drill. The fact that it was very difficult and required exact execution to time added a great amount of praise, otherwise earned by the beauty of the drill. - 83 - Then the most striking feature took place. The May Queen, seated on a throne decorated with flowers, was borne across the field. Small pages preceded her carrying flowers and the crown. The Queen, reaching the place of coronation, slowly ascended the steps anti in the awed silence, she was impressively crowned. Girls dressed in white, marching around the throne, took their formations and gave a fascinating May Pole Dance then headed by their Queen, the procession left the field. The High School boys, added a very interesting mass drill much admired by the spectators because of the difficulty entailed in a great mass, keeping perfect rhythm. The program was closed with a championship Soccer Football Game between physical education classes. The crowds thoroughly enjoyed the game and pronounced the afternoon as one of perfect enjoyment. A. S., ’25. “A” SOPHOMORE PARTY The goddess of beauty and her helpers had been working diligently to make the party of the noble Sophomores a success. The echoing gymnasium was beautifully decorated with Ceres own handiwork. As the time drew nigh unto eight the noble Sophomores anti their gallant friends had gathered to make merry at a party which the Sophomores had prepared. The wise Mr. Gensbigler made harrangue among us giving us lordly advice. Our honorable president spake unto us winged words which surely the goddess grey-eyed Athene had inspired in him. A play entitled “A Full House,” was given under the direction of Miss Tomasson of the raven hair. Readings were given by members of the class which caused us to sit spellbound, such was the eloquence. A grand march followed, the prizes were given to the glass-eyed Smith and Marie Jenney of ihe curly locks. A feast of the gods followed which was enjoyed by all. Too much credit could not be given to the renowned Mr. Mayers, who made the goodly ambrosia. Before the rosy figured dawn had broken forth upon the sky each Sophomore had found a place of rest in his jointed bedstead. Thus did the noble Sophomores prove themselves worthy of their name. B” JUNIOR PARTY Once more the class of li 2G assembled to make merry at their semi-annual party. This time instead of being the noble Sophomores, -84 - we had climbed up to the third rung of the ladder and now we find ourselves the nobler Juniors. By eight o’clock the spacious gymnasium was filled with the Juniors and their friends. A playlet entitled “Making a Movie,” was staged under the direction of Mrs. Greenhood. Solos were sung by members of the class ,which were received with thunderous applause. The orchestra then began to play and some of the less bashful students danced. It was not long though until every one was dancing to the melodious melody of the orchestra. Last but not least a goodly lunch was served to the Juniors and their guests, after which all departed even before the portals of dawn had broken forth upon the azure-blue sky. And once more the class of ’26 had held a party of renowned success. SOPHOMORE PARTY On the night of October 26th, The boys and girls began to mix At a Hallowe’en party of our class, And, oh! you should have seen the mass. The party was held in the High School Gym., And all endeavored a prize to win. Of all the girls—whose numbers were many— The best dressed by far was dear Marie Jenny. The boy who was best dressed like a myth Was a fellow who goes under the name of Smith. A play—“A Full House”—was given that night, And the kissin’ and all “came off” just right. Some selections were given by the Horrible Quartette Which sounded like they had been out in the wet. Ruth Bucher gave a couple of readings And then we went on with the “eats proceedings.” This was one party that you didn’t get “beat” On the amount of stuff you got to eat. And then we danced a few mighty whirls— Which was very pleasing to the fellows and girls. We then played games which ended the fun, And homeward we started—some two—some one. - 85 - “B” SENIOR PARTY Thursday evening, November the twentieth, the “B” Senior Class gathered at the High School for their annual party. About sixty members of the class were present. During the first part of the evening a greatly appreciated play entitled “The Love Pirate,” was presented by notable members of the class such as Betty Merriman, Lillian Solomon, Art Barnett, and Martin McGraw. Following the play a Fashion Show was given which was of much interest to the girls. Succeeding the Fashion Show a number of games were.played, during which everybody present had a jolly good time. A delightful lunch was served by the committee, after which dancing was enjoyed by the members of the class. At eleven o’clock we were sent home by Miss Cook and Mr. Ackley, for fear we would not show our usual brilliancy in our classes on the following day. One pleasant evening in October a number of the Seniors were entertained at the home of George Leech. The evening was pleasantly spent by playing games. A delicious lunch was served, after which the guests departed, each and everyone declaring that they had had a splendid time. A'l BIG PARTY MISS NELL ECKERT STARTLES GIRL RESERVES WITH SWIFT AND FORCEFUL PITCHING A grand party was started off with a Grand March the afternoon of Thursday, April 10, 1924, when the Girl Reserves hurried to the Gym. as guests of Miss Nell Eckert, physical training directress. As fastidious social manners had been left waiting at the door, the girls entered into a game of baseball with all enthusiasm. Both sides felt confident of being victorious until Miss Eckert decided to pitch for one team. It is safe to say that terror was struck in the hearts of the opposite team. Those balls! how they whizzed past the bat and caused the catcher to jump from side to side in an effort to save her life. Each batter tried to hit the ball—some did—and some did not. Though startled, the girls managed to end the game of baseball and engage first, in dodge-bat-ball, and then a basketball relay, base-bail relay, and finally soccer. The girls then showed their appreciation of the afternoon’s fun by giving a rousing cheer for the hostess. DOROTHY FREDERICK, ’24. — 86 — THE RECEPTION As the winter months proceeded And the first of March appeared, We sat thinking of the Freshmen, As their reception grew quite near. The Sophomores and Juniors And the aged Seniors too Took a hand in entertaining, Such as they always do. We kept everything a secret And the Freshmen ne’er found out What kind of entertainment We were going to bring about. As the days kept growing nearer, To the time of Freshmen night They’d pace restless through the halls, Thinking they were very bright. So that night when all was ready And the doors were opened wide Freshmen boys went strutting in, Each a lassie by his side. The first they saw was “Goo Goo,” A wild ferocious man, Whom the Seniors had secured From a far-off southern land. Then other spots of interest The little Freshies sought Till they got so very hungry That we fed them on the spot. After all the eats had disappeared And the dance had then begun The Freshies parked themselves beside And looked on to see the fun. As the dance got nicely started Upon the old Gymnasium floor The Freshmen left their parking seats And started for the door. When asked the reason for departure They’d answer with a grin, “Ma said for me to come right home And be in bed at ten.” So, home the little Freshies went — 88 — With a thought within their soul Of what they’d do when they grew To be a Junior bold. CLARENCE YOUNG. An exciting event happened when several members of our class went for a bob-sled ride down the long, steep, winding, dark and dismal hill back of Brighton Heights. It was indeed a wonderful ride until a large and stately telephone pole suddnely came into view, and to think that the party was broken up. Such a thing is enough to call on the gods for help. Instead of landing in the hospital these riders landed in the snow, none the worse except for a few bruises and cuts. EUGENE DOUDS. CONTENTMENT I would not change my place with you, my friend, For all the gold which Midas did control, I am content a poor man’s life to spend, And thus retain the joys that are my soul. For he who covets some one else’s place, Will never find the joys that I hold dear: We only find our joy but for a space: I hence do live my life from year to year. JEAN OSMOND, ’26. A DREAM I dreamed I lived in golden times of yore, Of maidens fair and brave knights clad in mail Of men who told or sang of peace and war Inspiring youths to fight nor dare to fail. I fought for love of maid, of home, of King To free the soul of man from tyrant’s yoke, And lived to hear the sound of gladness ring Above the joyful throng and then I woke. HELEN JASPER, ’26. — 89 — PARTY CLASS IV The Goddess of Reauty and her helpers had been working diligently to make the party of the noble Sophomores a success. The echoing gymnasium was beautifully decorated with Ceres own handiwork. As the time drew nigh unto eight the noble Sophomores and their gallant friends had gathered to make merry at a party which the Sophomores had prepared. THE FRESHMAN CHATTERBOX Mr. Pitzer, the English teacher, thought that we should have a class paper. Mr. Williams offered to typewrite three copies. Later there was such a desire for the paper, that more had to be printed. There has been six issues of the paper published. The paper contains the thrift record, sport news and class news. There is a good editorial in every issue, jokes, and short stories. Recently a contest was held'for the best short story. The Freshman Chatterbox is a very good paper. FRESHMAN RECEPTION By far the most brilliant affair of the semester, was the Freshman Reception held in the High School Gymnasium, on October 15. The “Follies” featured the entertainment for the evening. Its success was due to beautiful girls, funny comedians, music, dances and special scenery. Louise Hamilton as the Prima Dona, Madam Badovac, opened the program. She gained the utmost admiration in her clever musical act. The Hippoknezie Act followed. The clowns, Leech, Cohen, Montani, kept the “Freshies” in a continual uproar. Ruth Gill and Alice Sakraida, as Eenie, Meenie, Minie Moe, starred in the “Baby Sister Blues” act. The zig-zag follies topped off the success of the “Follies” when Freddie Ingram and a bevy of pretty girls featured in a special dancing chorus. The remainder of the evening was spent in a general good time, games and informal dancing. A bountiful lunch was served, after which all departed for their homes well pleased with the evening’s entertainment. SENIOR DAY, JANUARY DIVISION On a bright sunny day in January, the beloved mid-winter graduating class of Beaver Falls High School, held their Senior Day. — 90 — Quite a celebrated affair in the for mof a mock commencement done up in dashing style. Professor Brierly, assisted by Brother McMahon, dressed as sedate professors, kept the gym in an uproar. Messieurs Dillon and Flinner, as Seranade and Lemonade, dressed as girls, cracked several dry sayings and insisted on making love to Mr. Henderson. A number of essays, quite startling affairs, were rendered by Jean Pyle, Inez Herr, Martha Holtman, Annie Goodman and Raymond Snyder. Tannehill and Teichman, as a bashful farmer couple, played their parts well. The class managed to arrive for breakfast, as many brought their repasts along. These poor Seniors dressed in queer style, brought applause after applause, especially Senor Armand Walton, that well-known Italian Singer. After a few hours of fun in celebrating, the Seniors departed after receiving their illustrious diplomas. VERNON FLINNER, ’24. JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET The one event of the year, the Junior-Senior Banquet, was held Friday, December 14, at the Tamaqua Club. The tables were arranged to form the letter “S” for Seniors, and were attractively decorated in the combined colors of the two classes, green, gold and white, together with roses and candles. During the dinner two professional entertainers kept the room in an uproar. After a delicious four-course dinner, Richard Lutz, president of the Junior class, presided as toastmaster, with Miss Carey, Vernon Flinner, Margaret Stoltz, Anna Goodman, Jacob Salmon, Mr. Ackley and Professor Atwell, responding with toasts. A Song sketch was given by Arthur Barnett, Martha Chambers, Romaine Clove, Fern Funkhouser and Catherine Ague. The High School string quartet also gave several very good numbers. The remainder of the evening was spent in dancing until eleven o’clock, when all departed having a fine time. JUNIOR CLASS PARTY On the evening of November 3, the Junior class held a masquerade party in the gymnasium. The “party” began to arrive at 8 o’clock. A short play in which members of the class took part started the evening right. “Drop the Handkerchief” and games of like nature were enjoyed by all. After the “eats” were served, danc- — 9i — ing was indulged in until 11 o’clock, sharp! when the lights were turned off and everyone left feeling that they had had one good time. THE REVUE 0—1924 March 29th, one bright Saturday night The H. S. gym witnessed a very gay sight, For the Soph. Class decided not to let the opportunity pass To celebrate the prosperity of the class. At 8:15 the noises quieted enough To let the performers show their stuif, The success of this is already known For all through the performance there was not a groan. Then came the field meet in which all took part, And many got prizes which they took to heart, But when the awards were all given out An announcement of lunch was greeted with a shout. When all had finished that delicious lunch An orchestra was demanded by the bunch The music was greeted with lots of pep And shieks took their shebas and fell into step. At 10:30 Mr. Gensbigler looked round the crowd And wondered at the bunch of which he was so proud Then out of his pocket his gold watch he took And gazed at its face with a horrified look. To the orchestra he signaled, and gave the sign “Home Sweet Home,” was played sweet and sublime. The dancers gave a glance of despair And wished they were in Heaven for there is no parting there. — 92 — J GIRL’S BASKETBALL THE SEASON The girls turned out in full force at an early call for recruits. Miss Eckert took Mr. Ackley’s place as coach. She boosted the class games, in which there was a lot of competition, and had the girls ready for the real team before they knew it. Practice was started in good time and the outlook for the Girls’ Basketball team was rather promising. Finally it came time for the first game to be played. The girls said that they thought if the school gave them the proper support, they would come out victorious. Not much can be said for the support of the girl’s team, but they came out victorious at the end of the season. The girl’s team for the season of 1924 had a very successful schedule. Out of the eighteen games played only five were lost. At the end of the season the total score for Beaver Falls was 366, while the opponents only attained 251. W1LDA ROBERTS. GIRL’S CLASS BASKETBALL Never before was shown such inter-class rivalry in girl’s basketball. Night after night dozens of the girls donned their gym togs to battle for a position on their particular class team. Inexperienced, most of them, but possessing such determination to get there, that — 94 — THE GIRL'S BASKETBALL TEAM it was difficult for the coach to choose the teams. When all had been eliminated except the chosen few, the games began. At first it seemed that the championship was anybody’s except the Seniors. All of their experienced girls, as well as some of the Juniors, were on the Varsity squad, and could not participate in the Class games. The Sophomores were said to have a good team, but their best player was taken for the squad, and the Freshmen were showing up well, although a trifle green. Gradually two teams drew to the front, the Juniors and the Sophomores. The Juniors defeated the Sophs by a comfortable score, but the Sophomores in turn defeated the Freshmen. Until the Junior-Frosh game, the championship hung in suspense. But because the Juniors put all of their pep into the game, and won, they were awarded the Championship. NELLIE CALER.

Alice Elms, another “Andy” Although new is very handy. She has made a brilliant start Shows that she will do her part. — 97 — WILD A ROBERTS. GAMES EAST PALESTINE—DECEMBER 10 Beaver Falls—10 East Palestine—5 The season opened December 10, with a game at East Palestine. Since this was, you might say, the breaking in game of the season, the girls had their first chance to show their ability. At this game Miss Eckert was able to tell which girls were best. Although it was the first game of the season the Beaver Falls team succeeded in holding their opponent to a score of 5, while they scored 10. ALUMNI—JANUARY 1 Beaver Falls—10 Alumni—14 On January 1 the high school team played the Alumni team. The game was easy for the Hi girls because their opponent had never played girl’s rules before. In celebration of the very first night of 1924 the Hi girls attained a score of 40, while the Alumni stopped at 14. ROCH EST E R—.1ANUAR Y 15 Beaver Falls—15 Rochester—13 The next game was January 15 at Rochester. The Rochester girls had the advantage of the home floor, but our girls fought hard, and came out victorious. It was a very close game the whole way through, and when the last whistle sounded the score was 15-13 in favor of Beaver Falls. WOODLAW N—.1ANU A R Y 19 Beaver Falls—22 Woodlawn—16 On the 19th of January, Beaver Falls met Woodlawn at Beaver Falls. It was a pretty game because everybody seemed to do just the right thing at the right time. Our girls succeeded in getting six more points than Woodlawn, and the score stood 22-16 at the end of the game. After the game both teams were invited to Lillian Solomon’s where they had a good feed. After that they danced and had a good time until the Woodlawn girls had to leave for the train. - 9S - ELL WOOD—JANUARY 22 Beaver Falls—19 Ell wood—10 The game with Ellwood on the 22nd of January was rather onesided. In this game the subs had their first chance at playing in a game with another school. Our girls came out on the side of the score that said 19, and Ellwood had 10. BEAVER—JANUARY 25 Beaver Falls—24 Beaver—11 On the 25th of January, the maroon and gray knicker girls came up from Beaver to challange the girls wearing Orange and Black. Both teams played a hard game, but our team played over Beaver’s team and won by a score of 24-11. HUBBARD—JANUARY 28 Beaver Falls—12 4 Hubbard—8 On January 28th, Beaver Falls went to Hubbard to meet the team Miss Eckert coached last year. Things looked rather blue for Beaver Falls until the last three minutes. Then Alice Anderson saved the day by making three baskets. After the last three minutes the score stood 12 for Beaver Falls and 8 for Hubbard. NEW BRIGHTON—FEBRUARY 1 Beaver Falls—26 New Brighton—25 On February 1st, the girls played Brighton girls as a preliminary game to a boy’s game. Aside from the game being very close in score it was very closely refereed. The score was 26-25 in favor of Beaver Falls. There was more interest shown for the preliminary than the real game. R()( H ES I ER—FEBRUAR Y 8 Beaver Falls—13 Rochester—21 On February 8th, our girls played Rochester at Beaver Falls. It was at this game that our girls met their first defeat. The score, 13-21, shows that Rochester won by a large majority, but the girls — 99 — wearing Oi'ange and Black played the very best they could and deserve more credit than the score indicated. ELLWOOD—FEBRUARY 15 Beaver Falls—25 Ellwood—22 The 15th of February the team came down from Ellwood to try to get back at us. The game was close and hard fought, but our girls managed to conquer them. We won by a score of 25-22. BEAVER—FEBRUARY 19 Beaver Falls—9 Beaver—10 On the 19th of February, our girls went to Beaver to meet the maroon and gray knicker girls again. It was there we suffered our second defeat. Beaver said they would beat Beaver Falls if it was the last thing they did, and they succeeded by one point. The score was 9-10 in favor of Beaver. CANTON—FEBRUARY 23 Beaver Falls—11 Canton—18 On February 23rd ,the girl’s team from Beaver Falls went to Canton in Bob Sanders Studebaker bus. The game was played that night at the Y. W. C. A., against a team of Physical instructors. At the end of the first half the score was tied, eight all. The second half they got away from us and won by 7 points. The score was 11-18. After the game the girls got an idea of oriental food as they all went to a Chop Suey joint. They stayed all night at the Y and had lots of fun because it was their first over-night trip. Sunday morning they went sight-seeing to the interesting parts of Canton and came home in the afternoon in the bus. FREEDOM—FEBRUARY 26 Beaver Falls—II Freedom—7 The Freedom girls came up to play our girls the 26th of February. It was an uninteresting game because it was very one-sided. The subs got to play a good bit. The score was 41-7. —ioo — WOODLAWN—FEBRUARY 29 Beaver Falls—13 Woodlawn—22 The game with Woodlawn, the 29th of February, proved fatal to our jumping center. It was at that game that she came in contact with the elbow of the center on Woodlawn’s team. The power was knocked out of Powerful Katrinka. The game was rough and poor-spirited, and we were defeated by a score of 13-22. After the game hte Woodlawn girls entertained our girls at a feed. NEW BRIGHTON—MARCH 1 Beaver Falls—17 New Brighton—21 On March 4th Brighton had a chance to come back at us. The game was at Brighton, and they did to us on their floor what we did to them on our floor. The score was 17-21, in favor of Brighton. CANTON—MARCH 8 Beaver Falls—12 Canton—10 The physical instructors came from Canton, March 8th, to meet us in another game of basketball. In this game the girls came back at them and proved to the Canton women that youth is better than old age. HUBBARD—MARCH 10 Beaver Falls—23 Hubbard—9 The game with Hubbard on March the 10th was more interesting than the score sounds. Both teams played hard. Beaver Falls having the advantage of the home floor, came out on top. The score was 23-9 for Beaver Falls. After the game the teams had a party at Mrs. Abrams’. Bob Henderson, Harry Haude, and some fellows from Hubbard, were there as guests. FREEDOM—MARCH 18 Beaver Falls—23 Freedom—9 The game with Freedom on March 18 was the last game for the seniors, and the first game for next year’s team. Next year’s team had a chance to play and held the opponents more than this year’s team. The score was 33-9 in favor of Beaver Falls. — IOI BOY’S BASKETBALL The prospects for a good basketball team were dark at the beginning of the lb24 season. With only one letter man, Claire Merri-inan, around which to build a team. The Championship of Section IV was not in view, in fact the idea of winning half the games on the schedule was considered good. But don’t let this stop you from reading. Follow up the games and see what Heckathorne does with his bunch of “greenhorns.” “21” Team Defeats “23” Champions of Section IV The flashing of an array of basketball stars that has made the name of Beaver Falls High School one to be feared in this section of the W. 1. I. A. L. was insufficient to tame the new aggregation in the annual New Year’s alumni game. When the final whistle blew Hecka-thorne’s “24” outfit was on the long end of a 23-18 score. The most surprising feature of the game was that despite the fact that the team was entirely new from its last year's lineup, it looks as if they will make things interesting for most of their opponents this year. Louis Montani and Harold Bruce look like two good finds, while Merriman, McMahon, McClean and Robbins look like consistent players. Lineup: Beaver Falls—23 Alumni—18 Montani Ed.

SCH FNLEY AT BEAVER FALLS Schenly came to Beaver Fails in the first game of the season as sort of a practice game, one in which the coach could pick out the defects of the team's play, and then smooth off the rough edges of a “green” and inexperienced team. We did not know anything about Schenley. but they came to Beaver Falls with a likely looking team. —102 — The new Orange and Black quintet started to play “real basketball.” The game started with Paul Hiddleson on a guard position, the only game of the season in which he played, as he was not allowed to play any more on account of a sick spell. However, he gave a very good account of himself and demonstrated his ability to play basketball. Schenley could not keep up the fast pace of the Tiger quintet and our team emerged with a 30-23 victory. Lineup: Beaver Falls—30 Schenley Montani F. Simmons McMahon F.

BEAVER FALLS AT BUTLER Beaver Falls suffered its first league defeat of the season, when Butler took us over on her home floor by a majority of 4 points. The final score was 32-28. The game was very fast and hard fought, and the winner was in doubt until the game was over. Although the Orange and Black was not ahead at any stage of the game, she was always within two or three points of Butler. Robbins, our still guard, started the game, but gave way to Harold Bruce who proved himself a man that would bear watching. He was in the game a little over a half, yet he managed to score 3 field goals. Beaver Falls was considerably handicapped by the large floor and the out-of-bounds style of play used. Bayer, the Butler star, gave a fine exhibition of dribbling and long shots, of which he scored 5. Clair, out captain, guarded his man so closely, that he did not score a field goal the entire game, while Clair found time to score 1. Lineup: B. F. H. S.—28 B. H. S.—32 Bruce _F._ Bayer Montani F.

Team Fight, Fight, Fight, that’s what they had to do in order to take over Bridenbaugh’s New Castle quintet by a hairline score of 20-19. The pace set by the red and black-clad visitors in the first quarter which ended 8-4, made things look bad for Heck’s outfit, but the new “Tigers” came back with the old pep in the second quarter which ended 14-10 with us in the lead. During the greater part of the game and especially in the closing minutes only a scant margin of about two points separated the teams. • Bruce started the game at running guard, making four field goals and two fouls. He also held Hartman, one of the cleverest forwards in the league t otwo baskets. Joe McCIean had a bad leg, but he played a remarkable defensive game. In fact the whole team showed up wonderfully well.

STAGE COMEBACK IN LAST QUARTER That’s coming back after trailing the Rochester Five for three quarters which were filled with thrills, rough playing and fine teamwork on the part of the Orange and Black fighters. McCIean shot one from his guard position at the beginning of the last quarter and Beaver Falls held the lead from then on, finally ending the game, 24-15. Neither team could find the basket during the first quarter which ended 3-1 in favor o fthe Blue and White boys. The playing during the first half was poor for Beaver Falls failed to register a goal from the field, all points came from fouls. Beaver Falls still trailed Roch- 105 — ester at the end of the third quarter by one point with the score, 11-10. Montani was high scorer of the contest, caging four baskets and four out of seven fouls. While Merriman and McClean, playing hard at the defense, made two field goals apiece. Bruce had an off night, hut he came across with three points when we needed them. McMahon played his last game as he graduated that week.

TRIM WOODLAWN IN FINAL PERIOD Trailing by five points at the end of the first half Beaver Falls came back during the second half and defeated the Woodlawn five, 30-22. The first quarter was decidedly in favor of the “Red and Black” outfit who scored 9 points to the “Tigers” 3. The second quarter ended with Woodlawn 5 points in the lead and going strong. The “O'ange and Black” boys revived some of the old-time pep and fight during the rest period, and finished the third quarter in their favor, 19-10. During the final period the “Tigers” outplayed the Woodlawn bunch and worked the ball under the basket time and time again, only to blow the shot, that would have counted. The guards, McLean and Keppen, kept Woodlawn down to one basket in the last half. Merriman playing his usual high type of basketball, led with the scoring, Montani and Bruce closely following.

So completely did the “Tigers” trim the Ellwoodians that they only caged one basket in the entire game, that one coming in the last quarter when Lloyd, Ellwood’s captain, slid past one of the subs and dropped it in under the basket. The Orange and Black” seconds played the last quarter and scored more points than Ellwood did. Beaver Falls broke loose in the first quarter and scored twelve points to Ellwood’s 2. During the second and third quarters the “Tigers” passed and scored and then at times would take the ball from Ellwood and play rings around them. Captain Merriman led his boys in the scoring. Montani and Bruce were closely guarded, but were there with the old fight and pep. Keppen and McLean played like veterans, snatching the ball out of the Ellwood boys’ hands.

BEAVER FALLS DOWNS BEAVER IN EXCITING CONTEST Beaver Falls was kept on their guard by the Beaver team and the game turned out to be a rough and tumble game in which Beaver Falls was the victor. The Orange and Black boys had the best of the first quarter which ended 10-4. In the next quarter both teams played a “sew up” defense which resulted in neither team scoring a field goal, but Beaver made five fouls to our three, making the half end 13-9. The third quarter was in favor of Beaver Falls, in which we dropped in four baskets to Beaver’s two. The last quarter was hotly contested, — jo8 — neither team scoring a field goal and Beaver making four fouls to our two. Montani and Bruce played like veterans, dropping in eight baskets. Merriman proved a tower of defense aided by McLean and Keppen. The fight that has been characteristic since the first game is still there, and it is going to stay there.

NEW BRIGHTON WINS FOR THE FIRST TIME ON BEAVER FALLS FLOOR With everyon’e ears ringing with “We’ll win by golly, we’ll win,” and “You won’t by golly, you won’t.” Beaver Falls went down to defeat at the hands of New Brighton for the first time in the history of the school to the tune of 19-18. Beaver Falls started out like a whirlwind, playing a wonderful brand of ball, ending the quarter in their favor, 5-4. “The Old Fight” was in the Falls team in the .second quarter, and they scored ten points while Brighton scored two. It looked like a walkaway, but the half time came suddenly and turned the tables. New Brighton appeared on the floor with a look of determination to turn the tide, and they did during the third quarter, they scored eight points which placed them within two points of the “Tigers” who were hard pressed throughout the entire quarter, scoring but one point. This period ended 16-14 for Beaver Falls. At the beginning of the last stage of the game “The Crimson and Gold” boys had more pep than they have ever been known to have in a Beaver Falls game. In this period nothing was made but fouls, and that is what beat Beaver Falls. New Brighton made five fouls in the last quarter, while Beaver Falls made three points in the last half. Merriman played his usual fine game as did the guards. Montani and Bruce were closely and roughly guarded, but played a fine game. — 109 — « Beaver Falls—18 New Brighton—19 Montani .

TIE BUTLER FOR SECOND PLACE Beaver Falls and Butler again went into tie for second place in Section IV of the W. P. I. A. L. when the boys emerged from the, fray the victors by an 18-15 score. The game was extremely rough, hard-fought and bittei’ly contested at all times for Butler was determined to win. The Butler lads started to get rough, but by the end of the first half most of the roughness had worn off of both I teams and clean basketball was played. Butler was a hard nut to crack for they were in there fighting,I and Bayer, their little forward, played a game similar to that ofl “Whitey Littell.” Beaver Falls was off when it came to making a field goal, but they certainly dropped them in from the free throw line. Butler made three baskets to our on . While the “Tigers” made 10 fouls to Butler’s 9. Merriman and the two guards played a fine defensive? game, while the two forwards were trying hard to score.

Here is just how they happened to do it: The New Castle guard were playing a hard and rough game. Doing a lot of fouling. Beave — i jo — Falls could not get started. The ball would hit the hoop, linger and then drop off. Andy Hartman, one of the best forwards in the league, had a horseshoe” up his back. The only angle he did not try to shoot from was standing on his head. But at that New Castle outplayed us. The Orange and Black boys played a hard losing game.

ROCHESTER AT BEAVER FALLS “Another Victory To Our String” This proved to be the “Tigers” second victory over Rochester in the same season, and it was won rather easy, as the second team played a good part of the last half. Rochester was completely bewildered by the fast offense the Orange and Black displayed, and by the stellar work of our guards, Rochester was able to register only two field goals the entire game, both of which were made by “Jap” Douds, the shining light of the Rochester quintet. This was perhaps one of “Louie” Montani’s best games as he was in the game up to his neck and he managed to roll in six field goals. Merriman played his usual steady game and managed to annex three field goals, as did “Brucie,” our little forward. When “Heck” thought the slaughter had gone far enough, he injected the second team into the game, and they managed to finish it in great style. Farthing and Scanlon, of the second team, each rang up a marker. Lineup: B. F. H. S.—38 R. H.

BEAVER FALLS AT YVOODLAWN This was considered to be practically our hardest game away from home as Woodlawn is very hard to beat on their home floor. It is like a squirrel cage, being very narrow and long, but the Tiger stood the test, and pulled the unexpected, for the team trimmed Wood-law'n 23-20. To show you how good Woodlawn is on their home floor, I’ll let you know they decisively defeated New Castle and New Brighton, so that shows how good our team played. A prominent W. P. I. A. L. official who resides in Woodlawn, said Beaver Falls gave them the finest exhibition of basketball they witnessed the entire season. All in all, it was a very tight game as every quarter but the last one ended in a tie. Merriman, Montani and Bruce proved themselves a speedy trio when it came to advancing the ball through Woodlawn’s guards. McLean and Robbins guarded very well the entire game, holding the Woodlawn forwards to four field goals. Evans was the shining light for Woodlawn, scoring one field goal and playing a fast floor game. Montani led the scoring for Beaver Falls with four field goals, wdiile Merriman and Bruce scored 3 and 2 respectively. Lineup: B. F. H. S.—23 W. H.

Ellwood scored one field goal in the-game that being made in the first quarter which ended 11-2, Beaver Falls. — 11 2 The second quarter opened by the “Wrecking Crew” appearing on the scene of battle. This quarter was somewhat of a farce, bringing cheeis from the spectators who were anxious to see the second team give the Ellwoodians a neat lacing. This period ended 14-9, favoring the Orange and Black. The “Tigers” varsity squad started the third period decked in their new jerseys, and walked away from the Ell wood boys to the tune of 29-11. The “Wrecking Crew” appeared on the scene in the fourth quarter, and scored more points than the Ellwood varsity, for when the whistle blew the score was 34-13, Beaver Falls. Brooks and Scanlon played a fine game, each dropping in a field goal. Merriman played his usual “bang-up” game, and caged four baskets as did Montani, who led with the scoring. Bruce closely following with three to his credit. The guards played a “stitch ’em” game, holding Ellwood to one goal from the field. The “Wrecking Crew” played a “smash-up” game.

Having taken them over on our own floor, we were out for a second victory over them. The entire game was fast and furious, but Beaver did not have much of a chance. Toward the end of the game, things slowed up a little, as the Tiger quintet started to take it easy, having a good lead. With but a minute and a half to play, the lights wrent out, and it was announced that the game would have to be called off. The score at that time was 2( -l(5 in favor of B. F. H. S. After some discussion by the school heads, the — i 13 — same was awarded to Beaver Falls, as their lead could not have been overcome. Bruce and Merriman divided honors for the evening-, each scoring three markers.

BEAVER FALLS AT NEW BRIGHTON “Tables Are Turned at New Brighton’s Expense” Flashing all the ferocity and deadly intent of his jungle brother, the Tiger clawed to shreds the championship aspiration of New Brighton. It was a “gala” day for Beaver Falls, when they returned home, “Victors,” with a capital “V,” by the score of 28-18. It was one of the few basketball classics that you read about and the foremost star for the Tiger quintet was Bruce. Beaver Falls entered the game the under dog, but New Brighton could not hold “Brucie” down. The first quarter was very hard fought, and B. F. scored 10 points to Brighton’s 3. The following quarter was given mostly to defense by botji teams, with the results that few points were scored. The half ended with the Orange and Black on the long end of a 12-4 count. At the beginning of the second half, Brighton came back strong, and nearly knotted the score before the third quarter ended, Beaver Falls having only a one-point lead. At the beginning of the final period, Kirker caged one for Brighton, which gave them a one-point lead, that being the only time of the game in which they were ahead. It looked a sthough Brighton was going to win very much the same as they did at Beaver Falls. But Coach Heckathorne’s boys stood the test and just before the game ended, dropped in a shower of field goals, which gave them a comfortable margin to put the game safely on ice. Merriman and Montani were also in the game up to their neck and found time to — x 14 help along with the scoring. The guards also deserve much credit for the way they held the Brighton forwards to a low score. Lineup: B. F. H. S. N. B. H. S.

For the first quarter, they played a fast passing game, and, with a few lucky shots, were leading Beaver Falls at the end of the first quarter, 8-2. Beginning the second quarter, “Louie” settled down, and the whole team got “warmed up” and settled to play real basketball. “Louie” scored three field goals and Brucie registered one, so that, together with a few fouls, put the Orange and Black ahead of Freedom 14-9 at the end of the half. Starting the second half, the “Oiltown Boys” were unable to cope with the stellar guarding of “Joe” and “Barney,” with the result that they scored only two field goals the second half. Clair and “Louie” and “Brucie” advanced the ball into Freedom’s end of the floor any time they wished. “Brucie” was high scorer of this half with five field goals to his credit, while Merriman and Montani scored two each. About five minutes before the game was over, “Heck” substituted the entire second team, and they continued the good work, by holding Freedom scoreless. Lineup: B. F. H.

TRIM COLLEGE BOYS’ GENEVA RESERVE Leaving all love at home the “College Boys” tried to hand the High School ‘“Kids” a trimming, but the “Tiger” outfit, minus Mon-tani and Bruce, turned the tables and defeated the Genevians 16-12. Cooper, a student at Geneva, new at the officiating game, helped things along by his levity in calling fouls. I nfact the game assumed the aspect of a war at times. The high school with both regular forwards out, was not conceded as having a great deal of chance of winning the game, yet they came through in fine shape with the help of the star subs., Scanlon and Farthing, in the vacant positions. The Reserves led at the end of the half, 6-5, but Heckathorne’s outfit came back in the second period with, sufficient determination and pep to win the game. Lineup: B. F. H.

S. AT PITTSBURGH Spurred on by their victory over New Brighton at the Armory, the Beaver Falls quintet won the right to enter the elimination games, when they untied the knot of Section IV, by defeating New Brighton, 24-22. In the first eight minutes of play, Beaver Falls scored 7 points to Brighton’s none. It looked as though the Orange and Black were going to win by a large majority. However, Paton of New Brighton came to his team’s rescue, when he registered a field goal and two fouls. This ended the scoring for the first quarter. Beaver Falls, 7; New Brighton, 4. The second quarter was filled with thrill after thrill. Paton again came to the front when he scored two field goals, and his teammate, Kenah, one, and Kirker scored one foul. Not to be outdone, Bruce sank one which brought the crowd to their feet and Merriman —116 — scored two fouls. This ended the half with the score knotted at 11-11. The third quarter was a repetition of the second, with the first one team ahead then the other. “Harney” Robbins featured in this quarter by ringing the bell once, with a shot over half the length of the floor. Scanlon was injected into the game at this point, and he scored several fouls. Kirker of New Brighton scored a field goal this period, as did “Brucie,” who sank a neat one from the middle of the floor. All in all, a very tight game, for the end of this quarter, saw the count tied at 18-18. The last quarter saw both teams fighting for a lead ,and immediately, Kirker scored for his team, but Bruce evened things up by dropping in two fouls. Bruce scored every point made by the Tiger quintet in the final period, and his fine work enabled the Orange and Black to emerge with a 24-22 victory. This victory gave us the Championship of Section IV, and the right to meet Edgewood in the Championship games. The whole team was a combination of stars, and they all deserve credit for the remarkable game they played. i H. S.—24 Lineup: N. B. H. S.- Bruce F. Paton Montani F. ___ Kirker Merriman, Capt.

EDGEWOOD AT CARNEGIE TECH “This Is the Way To Do It” After defeating New Brighton, we took on Edgewood, in the second round of the elimination games at Carnegie Tech Gym. Few fans expected Heckathorne’s boys to win, but again they pulled the unexpected, by bumping the Edgewood team off, to the tune of 29-17. The team went into the game with a determination that could be seen on their faces, to fight to the end. Edgewood’s team was not so large, but they were exceptionally fast. The game started off with both teams straining to their utmost and the quarter ended in a 5-5 count. The second quarter saw our team open up a flashy attack that — 117 — netted them a few counters, and they gained a slight lead over their opponents, the score at half time being 11-8, in favor of the “Tigers.” After the rest intermission, which refreshed both teams, the second half opened up with both teams out to finish the game in a quick decisive manner. But Brucie, our little forward, dropped them in from all parts of the floor, and together with the fast passing and brilliant teamwork of the other fellows, Edgewood was soon left in the fog. Beaver Falls Team was well supported by a trainload of fans, and not a single one was disappointed by the showing made by the team. Everybody aroused lots of pep to support the team against Homestead the following Saturday. The whole team was a star in itself, and believe me, one of first magnitude. Lineup: B. F. H. S.—29 • E. H.

HOMESTEAD AT CARNEGIE TECH “We’ll Get That Cup Yet!” After putting Edgewood in the sack and the game gone past as ancient history, we went out with all kinds of “pep” after Homestead’s scalp. We started out in first-class manner, just as the real Indians would have done, but we didn’t quite finish the job, for Homestead rather took us over. However, that was no disgrace, for later in the season, Homestead copped the Pennsylvania State Championship. The team went into the game with a determination to win and fight ,as they were the “under dog,” and for the first half, we played Homestead off their feet in an exhibition of whirlwind basketball, the half ending in favor of Homestead at 16-14. Scores indicate nothing, however, and the second half was the one that would tell whether Homestead or Beaver Falls would be “champs.” It was too much. Campbell, however, as this little forward caged a total of seven goals ii8 — from the field, in the entire game. It seemed as though our fellows could not locate the basket. “Brucie” managed to score two markers, as did “Louie,” and “Barney” sank a sensational shot from the middle of the floor. Beaver Falls took the defeat in good style and everybody praised the team for the style of a game they played, and it was just a case of being up against a more experienced team. Lineup: « H.

FREEDOM AT FREEDOM “Topping the Season Off Right” Freedom wanted the honor of playing a team that had been in the championship series, so we scheduled a game with the boys from the “Oil Town.” The game was played in a church built into a gymnasium, so it could not help but be a “good” game. Freedom kept our team on the jump in the first half, by the superb work of King, their tall forward, and at half time, the “Oilers” were leading by a one-point margin, the score being 17-16. Beginning the second half, “Brucie” settled down and rang the bell five times in the third quarter. Merriman and Montani displayed a fine passing game that dazzled the Freedom players, and Freedom found a hard time getting past “Barney” and “Joe.” When the final whistle blew, the “Tigers” were victors, by the score of 39-29. The boys played good hard basketball all season, as the record shows, and the way they closed the season with a great big BANG was good to see. Lineup: B. F. H. S.—39 F. H.

AS WE SEE OUR BASKETBALL TEAM CLAIR MERRIMAN “Clair” was our captain of the team last season, and he sure filled the position, not only as captain, but as center on the team. When the season opened up, things looked very “black,” but Clair very ably took care of the position left vacant by the graduation of “Clarkie.” Although our team had no outstanding stars, the hard consistent work of Merriman was noted. In the game, he was here, then there, always in the thick of it. Opposing forwards found it hard to shoot past his upstretched arms. Not only is Clair a hard worker in basketball, but also in football and track, being a three letter man. It was partly due to Clair’s fine leadership, that made our season such a success, as he always tried to get an example for the rest of the fellows to follow. Did he succeed? We all say he did. “BRUCIE” Although Harold did not start the first few games of the season, he sure was a regular when he did start. “Brucie” got his first chance in the Butler game at Butler, and he did as a good many other fellows would not have done; he took advantage of it. Thus we find him one of our flashy forwards. “Brucie” is quite small and light, but it all seemed to be to his advantage, as he was a terror to opposing teams. All guards failed to hold him scoreless the entire season. What “Brucie” lacks in size, he makes up for it in “pep” and “dash.” He is an accurate shot, both from the mid-floor and under the basket. In our championship games at Pittsburgh, he proved to the Pittsburghers and local fans, that he was a forward worthy of mention, although he did not make the all-section team; we expect to see his name on it next year. “Brucie” is a quiet, unassuming, as well as a nice boy, and as he is only a Junior, he will be back next year for the team, and we are sure that it will be even a bigger year for him than the past year, and we wish him success. “LOUIE” ’’Louie” is our forward. This was “Louie’s” first try out for the team, but the Coach could hardly keep him off it, even if it was his first year. “Louie” was the President of our class, and, as he graduates, he will be lost to the team next year. He was very quiet, and 120 — in a game, he never said much, but just the same he was always there. “Louie” was a hard player, and he carried the responsibility of his position well. He was very fast, and he played “around” his opponents instead of with them. At all times his coal-black hair could be seen Hashing over the floor, and the other team could not keep up with him. He very seldom got angry at an opponent, because he did not let them distract his mind from his own game that much. “Louie” always set his mind on one thing, and that was to win for B. F. H. S., then he set out to accomplish it. Although Louie only played one year on the team, he will be remembered as one of the boys on that team which went down in History for B. F. H. S. JOE McLEAN “Joe” is another example of Coach Heckathorne’s ability as a Coach. “Joe” never played much basketball prior to last season. Coach Heckathorne, seeing the hard proposition ahead of him for the season of 1923-1924, took “Joe” in hand, and made a star running guard out of him. “Joe” is a Junior, too, and will be back next year. “Joe” is also a football man, and is as hard as nails. “Joe’s” man very seldom got past him to score any field goals. “Joe” had a unique, but very good habit of jumping up and getting the tip-off and passing the ball to one of the forwards, who would score it. He is very fast on his feet, and he could keep up with the best of them on the floor. In “Joe,” and “Louie,” we have examples of what boys can do for the Honor of the School, in time of need. And we surely did need some boys like them for the team of 1923-1924. ‘“BARNEY” ROBBINS “Barney” had been out for basketball the preceeding year, but failed to make a letter. He sure “came back” this season, in more ways than one. What we mean by this is: After starting the first two or three games of the season, “Barney” was taken to the bench, for some unknown reason, and then after somebody else was given his position for awhile, “Barney” came through with the fight that wins out, and won his position back, and kep tit for the remainder of the season. “Barney” is a tall, light haired boy from Steffin Hill, and the night air up there seems to do him good, as he is a letter man in all branches of sports. “Barney” came through with some field goals in the championship games at Pittsburgh, and they were all spectacular shots, remindful of the ones that “Whitey” Littell used to make. In honor of the successful season, “Barney” gave a banquet to the basketball squad, student managers, and cheer leader, which was appreciated by all. “Three cheers for “Barney.” — 121 — “ED” McMAHON Last but no least is “Eddie.” Although he was not with us the entire year, “Ed” put forth his best efforts to the team while he was here. He graduated with the January Division, and his vacancy was filled by Harold Bruce. “Eddie” was the “fair-haired” boy of the squad, but he played a good game and wasn’t afraid of getting it mussed up. He was not a player of flashy type ,but just a good steady player and always on the spot when the ball got there. SUMMARY OF THE 1923-24 SEASON In closing this season, B. F. H. S. looks back on the most successful basket ball season in the history of the school. At the start of the season, not a varsity man was available for the team. Clair Mer-riman, a letter man of the preceding season, had played in a good many games, and was the only likely looking material for the team. Then “Heck” got to work and sized up each candidate, and finally picked on Louis Montani, Eddie McMahon, Garf. Robbins, Joe McLean, and Clair for the varsity. He spent all his time on these men, and when Eddie graduated, put “Brucie” in his place. You can see for yourself what the efforts of Coach and these boys have done. When it is stated that this is the greatest B. B. team that ever came from Beaver County. Although every game was not won, enough games were won to enable us to go to Pittsburgh and play in the Championship series. The Beaver Valley Championship, as well as the Sectional Championship, were annexed to B. F. H. S. At the start of the season, Sclien-ley Hi and the Alumni were met and defeated. Then at Butler, our first league defeat came. The team then set a pace and won each following game, until Brighton defeated us on our home floor. Embittered by a defeat at the hands of New Brighton, we put Butler in the sack when they came down here. The next game was at New Castle, and as they were rather good on their own floor, they defeated us pretty badly. Things began to look black for Beaver Falls, yet the team kept up the fight and won every game thereafter, including a great victory of Brighton on their own floor. Since New Brighton had been defeated by Woodlawn and New Castle, we were tie for first place in Section IV. In the playoff at Pittsburgh, we won again, and this time, won the Sectional Championship. In our first Championship game we put Edgewood out of the race by defeating them. After this game, Homestead was met and they proved to be the better team, later winning the State Championship. Thi§ game finished a very successful season. — 122 INDIVIDUAL POINT RECORDS Field Goals Foul Goals.

F. H. S., Coach Heckathorne has never once failed in what he started out to do. He has put six years of hard work into championship teams while coaching at Beaver Falls. His brilliant work of moulding a championship team out of practically nothing, as there was only one letter man left, for the Basket Ball season of 1924, was something that made people sit up and take notice. Coach Heckathorne came here from Grove City, where he was a star on the baseball team, and by continued success, season after season, he has made an enviable record for himself. Coach Heckathorne is one whom the boys all like and this helps along the spirit of the teams. Some people are prone to criticize one’s methods of coaching, but the coach who sticks to his principles and methods is the one who wins out in the end. — 123 — Football is a game that requires training and consequently a lot of time must he spent upon it. Coach Heckathorne realized this and having profited by a football camp last year, re-established it for ’23. “Heck” took five letter men and a bunch of green men headed by Captain Hiddleson to Jackson Stop where the Camp was located last year to begin the task of turning out a team. The boys were coached on different points of football in the morning and signal practice and scrimmage in the afternoon. But all of the time was not devoted to work. There were other sports such as swimming, hiking, games, EATING, camp fire stories, and K. P. After two weeks of preliminary training a call for candidates was made and practice was resumed on the home field, with about forty men out to get a berth on the team. Coach Heckathorne picked about six men who would be regulars but had a job on his hands filling out the other positions because the rest of the men had not shown up well enough to land a position. And so with the nucleus of five letter men “Heck” built up a team that certainly was a credit to his reputation as a football coach. WOODLAWN With evei’y one out to see what kind of a team B. F. H. S. had for the season, the boys defeated the strong Woodlawn bunch by a score of 13-3. The game was looked forward to as a hard game and in the first quarter when Woodlawn scored three points, the boys got together and aroused such a fighting spirit that they played Woodlawn off feet for the remaining three quarters. The first half ended 7-3 featuring Hiddleson’s touchdown. “Let’s make another one” so they crossed the line for the second time. — 124 — THE FOOTBALL SQUAD In the last quarter a good many substitutions were made, for the Coach had a lot of new men who needed a try out. The bright lights among the Tigers were: Haude, Merriman, Hiddleson and McLean. Lineup: Heaver Falls—13 Woodlawn—3 Robbins . L. E. Suppoch Haude L. T .Milligan Miller _L. G. Barry Keppon C.

The game was possibly the worst played game ever seen on any field, many fumbles and misplays marring both teams’ work. The neck seemed to be the only place the players were able to make a sure tackle. Merriman and Haude both contributed touchdowns in the first quarter, followed by goals by Hiddleson. This’ ended the scoring until the last quarter when Baker added two more to the total by falling on the ball behind the Beaver goal line. Hiddelson, Merriman, Javens and Baker showed signs of ability at times during the contest. Javens turned in a run of 50 yards by eluding all except the safety man, being downed on Beaver’s 15 yard line. Howarth played probably the best game of any and deserves credit for the fight he instills in his teammates. 126 — THE STUDENT COUNCIL Lineup: Beaver Falls—16 Beaver—1 Robbins L.

WILKINSBURG In front of a fifty piece band from Wilkinsburg, and about 100 times as many followers from both schools, our boys like “Tigers” of old pounced upon their prey defeating the red and blue by a score of 17-0. This game was predicted to be a hard one and would have been, had not the boys gotten the jump on their opponents. After they got the jump they kept on jumping. The first half ended 10-0 featuring Hiddleson’s field goal in the first quarter and Javen’s touchdown in the second quarter. Howarth made a touchdown in the third quarter and Hiddleson kicked goal.

But WOW! The Ellwoodians jumped on us and scored a touchdown in the first four minutes of play. Ellwood being heavier than us, smashed through our line making large gains. Beaver Falls not being able to get together finished the first half with the score 12-0 against them. The second half was marred by our continuous fumbling but was brightened by Hiddleson crossing the goal line for a touchdown in the third quarter. In the last quarter the Tigers were within five yards of the goal line two times but lost the last one on a forward pass and next by a fumble. McClain made some long runs catching the ball from punts. Haude blocked a kick and also made some fine tackles. Lineup: Beaver Falls—6 Ellwood—19 Robbins -----------------L.

ROCHESTER In front of one of the largest and most enthusiastic crowds of the season, Beaver Falls lost to the strong Rochester eleven by the small score of 6-0 on our own field. Although the blue and whites were larger and possessed more experienced men, the Tigers were determind to even up the score of the past two years. It is better to have tried and lost than to not have tried at all. The first quarter was opened by Beaver Falls kicking to Rochester. Then the battle started. Keppen caught a pass making about 7 yards. A punt to Rochester was blocked. R. H. S. got a five yard pass and after considerable see-sawing the Rochester lads hammered over a touchdown. The second quarter opened by a punt to Beaver Falls. This quarter was marked by the way in which each team plunged and smashed up and down the field neither side making any headway. Rochester opened the third period with a pass which Beaver Falls recovered. This quarter was a contest between the punters, Beaver Falls punting five times matching Rochester’s five punts. The last period was a hard fought fifteen minutes in which the Tigers came very near to scoring. Hoffman made a 25-yard run bringing the people to their feet. The team fought and worked like a machine consisting of these most outstanding players: Howarth, Haude, Hoffman and Merriman. Lineup: Beaver Falls—0 Rochester—6 Robbins __________________L.

Beaver Falls traveled to Sewickley and defeated the Sewickley lads in what proved to be a one-sided affair. After the first minute of play. Sewickley received the ball and in four plays Beaver Falls took it from them, when Haude broke through the line, blocked a punt and recovered running 80 yards to the six yard line before he was stopped. Hiddleson skirted left end for the first six points of the game, also kicking goal making the score 7-0 in favor of the Tigers. Beaver Falls continued their bewildering and irresistible attack during the remainder of the quarter until Hiddleson broke away making another touchdown and also kicking goal. The game started to lag until the final period then Seaburn was substituted for Luger. He ripped off two 20 yard runs through the center of Sewickley’s line followed by Hiddleson hitting off left tackle for the final touchdown of the game. He missed the goal. Beaver Falls did not only prove superior at the straight football but their aerial attack was one of the finest type shown this season. The local boys scored 10 first downs to Sewickley’s 5. Which goes to show that they were in there fighting not only for the school but for Merriman who was out of the game. Hiddleson taking Merriman’s position played like a veteran scoring all of the points. Haude was here, there everywhere playing at top speed throughout the game.

NEW CASTLE Showing more power and pep than at any time this season our boys went down to a defeat at the hands of the greatest eleven that ever came from New Castle by the score of 26-0. The score does not show the way in which the boys fought the champions of Section IV, who were slated to win by a fifty point margin. The boys could not outgain the two year team of Coach Bridenbaugh, but have the honor of holding them to the lowest score this season, and for a green line and crippled backfield, the Tigers covered themselves with glory. New Castle made a touchdown each quarter, but they had to fight for them. The entire line played a whale of a game. McLean and Smith were the outstanding players in the backfield. Howarth did the punting. — 132 — Lineup: Beaver Falls—0 New Castle—! Robbins _ _ _L. E Sargent Haude L. T. Cunningham Hnwnrth L. G. Fox Keppen C. Haug Miller R. G. _ Monath Hoffman R. T. T.

FREEDOM Coming back in the last two minutes of play with a touchdown by Hiddleson, the boys tied one of the hardest fought games this season by a score of 7-7. The game see-sawed until the last of the third quarter when Freedom fell on a punt on our one-half yard line forcing us to kick from behind the goal and also up-hill. Instead of kicking Howarth passed but it was incomplete, this ended the third quarter. Captain Holsinger allowed Beaver Falls five yards more to kick on so that the punter would be on an equal level with the team. The punt was not over thirty yards and was returned to the twenty-yard line. From here Holsinger took it over in three plays making the score 7-0 in favor of Freedom. Beaver Falls received, Howarth punted 70 yards which was the longest kick made by any player in the valley so far this season. Freedom kicked to us and we immediately started an aerial attack which ended in Howarth throwing a long pass to Hiddleson, who, while hitting about sixty per toward the opponents goal, nabbed it on his finger tips, and raced past the safety mark for touchdown. While 133 — the Beaver Falls fans held their breath and the Freedom fans howled (LUCK) Hiddleson kicked goal ending the game, 7-7. Our lads with three regulars out, fought hard to keep the much heavier opponents from scoring until early in the fourth quarter. When a Freedom man fell on the ball kicked by his own man thus making us kick from behind goal. Howarth did some wonderful kicking, while the fierce tackling of Haude, Keppen and Hoffman were partly responsible for Freedom’s only making one touchdown. The entire team deserves much praise for their work. Lineup: Beaver Falls—7 Freedom—7 Robbins L. E. _ Gondola Haude L. T. L. Holsinger Brierly L. G. Cullen Keppen C. Blatt Tannerhill R. G.

NEW BRIGHTON The Beaver Falls boys dropped the lid on football Thanksgiving Day, when we defeated New Brighton in the annual Turkey Day Classic by the score of 22-0. Before the echo of the first whistle could be heard, the Beaver Falls boys pounded on the “Crimson and Gold” like “Tigers” of old and scored a touchdown in the first five minutes of play. Haude made the touchdown, which came after a steady march down the field, aided by the end runs of McClean and Merriman. After a 14 yard penalty on each team Beaver Falls marched the ball to the yard line from where Hiddleson dropped back and kicked r34 — the ball neatly through the bars, making the score 10-0 in favor of the “Orange and Black”. During the entire second period New Brighton had the upper hand as they kept our boys on their toes, and demonstrated some of their old time pep and strength. The half ended with the score 10-0 in favor of Beaver Falls. With the opening of the third quarter Beaver Falls uncorked some new plays which worked to perfection on the New Brighton boys. Beaver Falls worked the ball up to the one foot line with two downs to put it over. One of the “Tigers” fumbled and Bob Brierly fell on the ball over the line making a touchdown. On line bucks by Merriman and Hiddleson also by a pass from Hiddleson to Merriman who ran fifty yards before being downed we placed the ball on the 17 yard line from where Hoffman took the ball over for the final touchdown which ended the game. The work of Merriman in punting and passing, backing and hitting line was the best that has been seen on the local field for many years. The work of Haude and Hoffman the tackles who each scored a touchdown were responsible for many of Brighton’s plays going for naught. The ends and guards did superb work while the backs upon receiving the ball from Keppen the fighting center made some nice gains.

That’s what we think of him. His place will be hard to fill in football, basketball and track for he was a real, clean athlete and a credit to all his teams. Robbins—End “Barney,” who played end on the varsity this year, is also a useful man in basketball and track. Remember him in that Winkins-burg game? Tannerhill—Tackle “Buster Keaton” always looking for a tackle was right tackle, formerly called “Tanners.” Lean, lanky and dependable. Palmer—Center “Palmer” who played a good game at center is remembered for his hard playing, hole plugging and bearcat fighting game. Luger—Quarterback “Pete” has a clear head when calling signals and is also a good man at carrying the ball. Seaburn—Fullback “Red” always ready to buck the line for a gain will be an important man on the “24” team. Haude—Tackle “Haude” who is just like a cork for plugging up holes, can always be counted on to play a hard and superb game. His place, like Merriman’s, will be hard to fill. M c M a ho n—E nd “Eddie” although we lose him we will always remember his having played an end on the varsity. McClean—End-Halfback “Joe” the hardest man on the team and the one we always expect to bring home the bacon, proved his worth and we expect great things from him on the “24” team. — 136 — Hiddleson—Quarterback “Ikey,” Captain and quarterback of the team. He was an allround athlete who will leave the High School with quite a few letters and medals. To “Ikey” goes the credit for our biggest scorer of “23.” Keppen—Center “Atsey” who could always be found near where the ball was, had a successful year at center. Another man we lose for “24.” Gone but never forgotten. Miller—Guard “Fat” who held down a guard position wonderfully well this year will be expected to hold it again next year, and, if possible for anyone to do better we hope he will improve with age. Brierly—Guard “Bob” the heaviest man on the team who made a touchdown against New Brighton. This was Bob’s first year, and he proved beyond the shadow of doubt that he can be depended upon for a couple more seasons. Smith—Halfback “Smitty” is a short half-back but try to stop him. He never needed his glasses to find that hole. Slem—End “Slammy” who shined on the end position and who will be with us next year. Another job Heck shouldn’t have to worry over for “24.” Huffman—Tackle Myer” or ‘“Sam” was the Sheik of the team and also a hard-fighting tackle. HONORABLE MENTION: Brooks, Morrison, Leiper, Javens, K. Javens, Lenox, Hollenback, Howarth, Haines, Patterson, and Sylvester. Summary The season as a whole this year was a success owing to the faithful guidance of Coach Heckathorne and the co-operation of the team. - 137 “ The first game was the Woodlawn, and it was encouraging to defeat one of the hardest teams in the valley in the opening game. The next game was with Beaver. This game which was supposed to be an easy one, turned out to be a loosely played game in which we were the victors. Our old rivals from the Pittsburgh district came up to defeat us, but we tore them to pieces. Wilkinsburg did not shine that night for we had an easy job taking the “Will” out of Wilkinsburg. After winning three in a row the boys were feeling good and somewhat over confident. They went to Ellwood and the Blue and White boys jumped on them before they could get their breath, defeating them 19-6. The second defeat was at the hands of Rochester in a very tight game which at some stages looked as if we would be the victors. Pulling together in the next game with the team crippled by the absence of Merriman, Sewickley was overwhelmingly defeated at Sewickley. The “Tigers” were the under dogs in the New Castle game, but played one of the best games this season, holding New Castle to the lowest score of the season. “Don’t stop playing until the last whistle blows” is a wise saying for the boys tied with Freedom in the last two minutes of play. The last but not least was the defeat we handed New Brighton on our own field. This game showed what the boys could do when they got down to work and played football.

Miss Eckert, Physical Instructor of the girls, gave them a chance to play it in the gym classes. Although the gymnasium was not quite large enough for the regular game, it gave them some idea of how it was played. As oon as the weather permitted the physical education classes went down to the athletic field for practice. At first, the game seemed to : e a trifle rough, but after some practice did not prove so. Everyone seemed to be very enthusiastic about soccer, as it is a game played in the fresh air and plenty of exercise is derived from it. TRACK In the first week of April, all candidates for girls’ track, were isked to report at the athletic field. About one hundred reported, ind from the very first practice, all prospects were good. As the points counted in the Athletic Meet at the Junction with the boys, every one was very enthusiastic about it. As every one knows, Beaver Falls has won the Geneva Cup for tw'o years and were trying iard to keep it this' year. Since the track was the only thing in which the girls could help they were determined to show what they could do, and started with lots of fight. The events in which the girls competed were: One hundred yard lash, four-forty yard relay and baseball throw. For the past two 139 — years the Beaver Falls girls have won some events at the final meet at Junction, and from all indications had a good showing this year. Previous to practicing down in the field, the coach held races in the gymnasium to give them an early start. There were several letter girls from last year, so there was, in addition to the new ones, a good squad. FIELD AND TRACK The B. F. H. S. track team of ’23 was the first in the history of Beaver County to win a W. P. I. A. L. track meet. The ’23 team not only went down in the history of B. F. H. S., but in the history of Beaver County also, as the greatest track team that ever came from this part of the League. Beaver Falls was presented with a W. P. I. A. L. trophy. “Whitey” Littell was also given a trophy for being the highest individual scorer. “Whitey” won the low hurdles, tied for first place in the pole vault, getting second place, and he flew into second place in the broad jump. Clair Merriman showed them how to sail the discus, 109 feet, taking first place, he also took third in the shot put. Barney Robbins jumped into third place in the broad jump. Early in the season the team defeated Beaver on the B. F. H. S. field while in the Beaver County meet. Beaver defeated Beaver Falls by winning the relay race. The Beaver Falls boys needed the relay to win the meet. Beaver Falls seems to have fallen in a rut at the Beaver County meet the last two years, having lost both meets to Beaver by close margins. It is hard to lose after taking the meet for four consecutive years. There are about fifty men out for the ’24 track team, and some of them look like “comers,” Captain Barney Robbins, Merriman, Hoy, Hiddleson, and Corbett are the letter men who will form the nucleus. These old timers with the new men will make any County school STEP to win the Junction Meet this year. The Juniors won the Class Meet, 59 to 53 on Friday, April 28. This meet is hedy every year between the Classes to see if any “dark horses” show up. “Red” Seaburn made a good showing in the hurdles, also in the pole vault, going over nine feet, six inches. Elwin Smith looked good in the mile and George Reed was fine in the half mile. Corbett and Robbins are sure of a position on the relay team, while McGraw, G. Seaburn, and C. Smith are out for the vacancies. The Seniors would have won the meet had not Merriman been hurt the day before, and Hiddleson was sick. No records were broken, but by the looks of things some will be broken before the season is over. — 140 TRACK SQUAD BOOKS OF INSPIRATION Jim Thompson sat among his pillows at the soldier’s hospital and wearily waited for something to happen. All the rest of his friends in ward “A” had received either letters or packages from their families that morning. But Jim didn’t have any family and the few people whom he had called friends forgot about him after the war. He never expected anything but still he always waited the arrival of the mail with a faint fluttering of hope—but today was like all the rest. As he sat deeply thinking about the cards fate had put into his hands he felt a touch on his shoulder and heard a cheery voice say, “Jim Thompson, come out of that dream and see what I have for you.” He turned and saw the nurse of ward “A” with her arms filled with books. She smiled and said, “My sister sent these and told me to hand them out to the boys, but I thought I would let vou read them first because the rest always get so much.” Jim thanked her and accepted the books eagerly. As he glanced at them he found that they were high school magazines, and he smiled as he remembered his own days on the staff of the high school annual. Jim was still young and he could still enjoy reading the stories of school life. The first book he opened was a neat little volume called the “Arrow.” When he finished reading it he smiled to himself and —143 — said, “That was interesting, but I had to read halfway through it before I found it was from Midland, Pa.” Then glancing down he saw the name “Arrow” again with “Mid-year” printed after it. Upon opening it he found that they had improved their publication by putting the name of the school on the second page. The next book that he read was the “Quippas” from Tarentum, Pa. He completed reading it in a few minutes and commented silently that, “It is a fine paper of school life, but I would have enjoyed some snaps or short stories from them. It had been so long since Jim had been interested in anything that he forgot everything about him in the pleasure of reading the “Spectator” from Vandergrift, Pa. He read eagerly to the end and reluctantly put the books aside when the nurse carried his tray to him. As she rearranged his pillows and flashed on a light near his bed she noticed how cheerful he looked. “Well,” she said, “did you enjoy the books.” “Enjoy them ? Say, this has been the shortest day since I came here. That last book I read, the “Spectator,” surely is great. I read a couple of dandy stories in it.” The nurse chatted with him for a few minutes and then went on to the next bed. Jim ate heartily and then started another annual before bedtime. This time it was the “Maroon and White” from Gettysburg, Pa. He liked the headings of the various departments and the way in which the students cooperated with the town by writing several appropriate articles, but he missed pictures of the teams and students. As Jim closed the book he admitted that he was really sleepy for the first time in weeks. He slept soundly and awoke early so that he could finish his reading and then pass the books on to the other boys. The nurse asked him if he wouldn’t like to be wheeled into the sun-room to finish his reading and then added, “But I doubt if the sun can make you any brighter than my sister’s gift has.” “Well, she certainly had a bright idea when she thought of sending them. The first one I read this morning is going to be the “Elevator” from Conemaugh, Pa.” As he said this he turned the cover and started to read only stopping long enough to tell some joke to a passing buddy or to tell another to be sure and read such and such a story in the “Elevator.” As the doctor made his morning rounds he suggested to Jim that he rest his eyes until afternoon and let one of his abler comrades — 144 — wheel him through the grounds. Jim decided that would be fine for he didn’t have much left to read and he didn’t want his afternoon to eem long. Afternoon arrived and Jim looked at his fast disappearing books and chose three small numbers of the “Coker” from Connellsville, Pa. They all had interesting little stories and verses. It did not :ake Jim long to read them, and, as he finished the third, he said to limself, “I wonder if they publish an annual ? They have good material and with some pictures they would have a fine year-book. Jim stopped long enough to watch two twittering birds in the :ree outside his window. As they flew away he picked up the ‘Ellwoodian” from Ellwood, Pa., and read their interesting account f athletics and several good short stories. “Well, I'm all set for the last, the “Munhisko” from Munhall, Pa. Let’s see what it offers.” By the time he had completed it the nurse was around to him igain, and he excitedly stopped her and asked her to talk to him. “You know,” he said, “I had about given up hope of ever being f any use again, but I just read here that this is the first annual Munhall has published since before the war, and I concluded that if hey could stage such a wonderful comeback, I would buck up and ry to do the same. It was a long speech for Jim Thompson to make, but his nurse Knew that he was in possession of a new spirit and that within the lext few months there would be another World War veteran out in he world fighting a game fight.

PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS TILES Tiles are produced by firing specially selected clays, feldspar and flint at high temperature which causes these materials to combine in chemical and physical union. They cease to be clay, cease to be feldspar, cease to be flint and become tile—an entirely distinct material of extreme wear-ing qualities, and beauty, which in use provides a degree of permanence, healthfulness and of charm by virtue of its character and decorative fitness, and by its sanitary qualities, that is not obtainable with any other finishing material. A finished piece of tile, if it could speak, would tell you a wonderful story of its processes, of the close attention to detail, of unremitting care. How its ingredients are gathered from the far places of the earth to insure basic quality ; how' those ingredients are weighed and mixed with extreme care and ground to an infinitesimal fineness to make smooth, even texture certain; how the tiles are shaped in dies, fired in kilns, and inspected and graded with exactness so that the product may carry the elements of merit through to the finishing touch—these represent the multiplicity of operations that are required in the production of tiles in the modern factory. The many remarkable improvements and refinements in the manufacture and design of the world—old historic tile have made it today a surprisingly, widely useful material—beautiful and lasting.
