Its deeds will go down in the annals of history and its name will be stamped on the records of “Time.” Since the memorable entrance of the class of ’26 through the portals of this noble institution of learning its members have always tried to the best of their ability not only to uphold the sacred standards and ideals of the Beaver Falls High School but also to establish others, equally as good, for the benefit of future graduating classes. Apparently Dame Fortune has always been with this class for the four years, during which the members have struggled to attain their goal, they have been very successful. There are always two questions which are conspicuous in their importance. First, What has the High School done for the class? and second, What has the class done for the High School ? It is practically impossible to say at this time what the High School has done for the class. Time only can tell. It is still a question as to what the future holds for this class. If every member has grasped all that the High School has offered them the Future can only spell “Success.” The knowledge gained during the past four years should establish a firm foundation for each 1926 graduate’s career. Golden opportunities have presented themselves at every turn and if they have not been grasped the loss is not for the school. And next, “What has the class done for the High School ?” Little can be said concerning this but it is the sincere wish of every member of the graduating class of 1926 that they have left something tangible, fine and inspiring which “Time” cannot obliterate. The activities have been many and the social events comparatively numerous and prominent. The entrance of this class was commemorated by the Freshman reception. During the Sophomore year occurred the Sophomore party and in the more important Junior year, the Junior-Senior Banquet, in our never to be forgotten Senior year the Senior dance in which both the January and June divisions participated, and lastly, the Junior-Senior banquet. There have been other social events but not as important as those mentioned. In athletics, the class of 1926 has been equally important. In basketball, football and track, many of its members have covered themselves with glory. 51 In academic work the class has been good. The averages of the graduates have been very high. It also can be stated with no itt e pride that this class is the largest yet to graduate from this High School. 'During aW four years of the class career, there has been very few who have ceased, to continue their school work:. For those who have gone on strugg iug to attain the best Life lias to offer, we can predict great things. Fame, Fortune, Happiness will be theirs. It is c uite possihie that there is in the ’26 class, future governors, presidents, statesmen and. pbiiti-cians. But to attain such ends we must wait for the unwinding of the mystery of Life and for Fate to unroYV the scrolls of destiny. For the present, the graduating class of Beaver Fails High Behoof, leaving memories dear and everlasting, to waYk forth on the paths of Life, can only say— “We have done our hest.” -TlieXma HiWey, PENN RELAYS i z zo F,NE B'ZHNESS CLASS VII OFFICIOUS President.........................Thomas Barber Vice President..........Ituth Dunkerley Sec'y-Treas........................Marie Jenney Ralph, Jack Barber, Thomas Bedore, Harry Bennett, Lulu Blazack, Barney Bond, Iluren Brooks, Theodore Camp, Ida Caplan, Rose Carlton, Richard Curti, Charles Daquila, Marguerite Dodds, John Dondalson, Helen Duncan, Dorothy Dunkerley, Ruth Ehrenberg, Isabel Farthing, Harriet Farthing, John Freed, Nellie Gilkv, Thelma Hanly, Winifred Harvey, Louis Hegner, Joseph Hill, Alberta Hill, Eleanor Hollander, William Jenny, Marie Johnston, George Jones, Louise Juhaz, Julius Knapp, Thelma Krepps, Margaret Lawson, Helen Long, Margaret Louthan, Charles Magee, Vera Marcus, Harold McCracken.

A person cannot lift himself by his boot strings though he pull ever so hard. Neither can a person ascend the ladder of success without the helping hand of some outward force. Progress is made not only by evolution but also by transformation; that is by external as well as internal forces. Therefore in the most outspoken way he condemns those of his own generation. The advancement cf civilization is like a great relay race. One generation passes on the torch of truth to its successor. So if one generation starts out wrong the greatest failure is not within that generation but in its predecessor which gave it that start. Is the old patriarch justified in this plainly spoken condemnation of himself? According to the scandal sheet I believe facts prove their implications; that the average age of the criminal has decreased from twenty-five to eighteen years. However, this cannot be taken too seriously, because modern inventions and educational development is more rapid and maturity is reached sooner. Daily papers for the most part blaze out the name of some notorious youth in the headlines. If groups could be judged by a few in the group, then the young people of today could point to ancient examples. They could say, “What present day flapper uses greater dexterity in the use of cosmetics than Cleopatra? Who is more notorious either for the wearing of summer furs or short dresses than Eve, when she first skipped beneath the banana trees in her bear skin kilts?” Cicero in his day reflected on the character of the youths, who thronged about the Forum in which he was speaking. He spoke of them as those, “Who knew no better than to dress in costly apparel and anoint their hair with glistening ointment.” 62 The TfGEn Great criticism is hardly founded. Every generation has brought forward both its noted and its notorious sons and daughters. The former are the offspring of sympathetic instructive parents, the latter of those who boast that they never touched their children with the paddle, and then grumble because some of the modern youths have no respect for law. The former are increasing, the latter are decreasing just as fast. No. The reformation is not over yet. Though it is several centuries since the Dark Ages, I truly believe that our modern youth is even now living in the childhood of the Renaissance. —Archie J. Dodds, ’26. GAMENESS If you would ask an oldtime boxer or a boxing authority just what the most essential quality of a great ringman must be, he would without hesitation answer—gameness. He would tell you that the one quality that makes or breaks a fighter in the ring or anywhere is the ability to assimilate punishment yet keep coming back ready for more. A year or so ago while every sport fan could think of nothing else but who would win the Dempsey-Firpo bout, we found the great Dempsey out of the ring, driven through the ropes by a murderous right hand drive from Luis Firpo, the Wild Bull of the Argentinan Pampas. The seconds tolled menacingly by, but at the count of eight, by a superhuman effort, the American champion clambered back into the ring and though his senses were dulled to the fullest extent he fought on, and in the next round knocked out the South American giant. He had faced defeat as he had never faced it before, but he had shaken off the icy fangs of despair, had weathered the gale, and finally had come through with Hying colors—a glorious victory. A few years back, Jimmy Wilde, the greateset little man the ring has ever known, came across the Atlantic to defend his crown against Pancho Villa, the lithe brown skinned Philippino sensation. Wilde, the hero of hundreds of battles, the idol of all England went down to defeat after eight rounds of terrible fighting. He had passed the Zenith of his career, but he fought his younger opponent toe to toe. When the eighth round arrived, referee Haley went over to Wilde’s corner and begged him to discontinue his fight but the game little Welshman, his skin cut to ribbons, his senses punch-drunk, his face clawed to a bloody pulp, his eyes unable to see but a few inches ahead, doggedly shook his head in refusal to Haley’s request, and kept on fighting. It was not long after that Villa ended Wilde’s misery by putting across a knockout wallop, but not before Wilde had given a toughened, hardened assembly of fight fans their greatest thrill by a wonderful display of sheer grit. And while Wilde lay stretched upon the canvas, a final victim to Mother Nature, all England heaved a sob in token of appreciation of Wilde’s wonderful gameness. Like Dempsey he had proved that gameness as a quality in a fighting man was nonpareil. This lesson of gameness can be transferred to real everyday life and assume even greater proportions than in the roped arena. No man can be truly great, no man can be a success, no man can truly claim himself a man until he has exhibited this great quality of staying on both feet under fire. Where would America’s two greatest men rank today if they had not possessed gameness to the fullest degree, or rather where would America stand today if it had not The TfGEn been for the outstanding; quality of gameness that was so deeply rooted in America’s two greatest humans, Washington and Lincoln. In the winter at Valley Forge, Washington found himself almost at his limit’s end. But that same indomitable spirit that still flickers in the world today was with him then, and the great Virginian kept on fighting and won. Honest Abe Lincoln faced sterner opposition during his term in the Civil War than any other President has been called upon to face, yet did he falter, did he quit coming back for more real punishment, did he throw up the sponge? Emphatically no! He faced the troubles that beset him and the Union with a courage that has never been equalled, with a spirit that was unquenchable, and pulled through in the very teeth of clenched antagonism, tasting adversity to the full. In the last war doubts assailed the Allies at all times, but with that never-say-die spirit, with that unforgettable display of thorough gameness, they kept fighting on, fighting on, until there came a time when they shattered the German morale and caused Right to conquer over Might. Let us get busy. Let us develop this spirit, and although we may lack the finesse of tackling life’s problems, although we may fail to possess all the qualities that make a truly great, with this great quality alone—we’ll go far. —Jack Henry, ’27. CLASS SPIRIT What is it that makes the world go around ? Why is it that nations have conquered other nations? Why is it that many times our better self is victor; that oftimes we do the right thing not always preferring to do that thing? The real issue behind the question is—spirit. It was because ignoble love overcame spirit that the noble Anthony fell before the wily Cleopatra. Nothing must overcome spirit, for only through this essential can success come. Students of Beaver Falls High School, only through spirit can your class succeed, class spirit that started its development in your Freshman year, for it is too late to wait until your Junior or Senior year to start developing class spirit. We must--- “Be Strong!” We are not here to play, to dream to drift, We have hard work to do and loads to lift, Shun not the struggle,—face it. ’Tis God’s gift.” —Babcock. Spirit is twofold in high school—literary and athletic. High School is not made up entirely of athletics, nor of literary events, but as it is a combination of both we shall have fulfilled the business of school life when we employ the one in labor and exercise—football, basketball and track; the other in study and contemplation. Only then does this elusive thing, spirit, find expression in ourselves and in our school. Bear in mind that you can root for the declaimer, the debator, the orator, just the same as you can root for your football squad; lead them on to victory with your cheers. It takes as much will power to make literary events successful as it does to make your football squad come out on top. Accomplish this through spirit, for through spirit comes success. There should be an inner voice urging us on to higher things.

The first contest of the year was the essay contest in which we were represented by Marie Jenney. Due to the fact that Miss Jenney had hardly sufficient time in which to prepare her showing of fourth was good. Soon after this Jack Henry was entered in the extemporaneous speaking contest held in Beaver Falls and by excellent work was able to win first place. Dorothy Wallace was the Beaver Falls entrant in the Declamation contest held one week later at Woodlawn. Margaret Barr appeared unusually strong in the Oration contest held at Ambridge, winning second place. She was defeated by a veteran of two years and deserves considerable credit for her work. The debating teams won one of their three contests, the affirmative losing their only meet to Woodlawn and the negative team losing to Ambridge and winning from Freedom High. Both defeats were by 2 to 1 decisions and the victory was a 3 to 0 vote. The various contestants were coached this year by Miss Esther Younggren and later by Rev. T. D. Rees.

H. M., ’26. 68 (MIthe tiger ifffiRiQ SHORT STORIES A SPLIT VERDICT “To the Victor Goes the Spoils” It was exactly one week before the big battle for the lightweight championship of the world, and the entire American sporting populace was agog. Battling McGovern, the battle-scarred, genial possessor of the world’s lightweight championship had decided to quit the fight racket and therewith proceeded to hang up his gloves, leaving a vacancy for the title. After much discussion a meeting of the boxing boards of all the States agreed to have the lightweight championship given to the winner of a proposed contest between Paddy Ryan and Lee Corbett, both of New York City. The match was quickly arranged and due to great publicity given by the newspapers it had jumped into the glare of the spotlight of sport. Ryan was a rugged, hard hitting Irish lad, who sported the moniker of “The Last of the Ryans.” Corbett was a cool-headed, left-hand boxer with a face like a combination of John Gilbert and Ramon Novarro. Ryan hailed from the Bronx, while Corbett was the Brooklyn idol. This is made as a background for the world’s championship and and inter-city struggle. A spirit of gloom had overset the Ryan camp at Atlantic City, although to the casual observer everything was going on well, but to the experienced ring follower there was nothing wrong. Ryan trained faithfully day in and day out but he constantly had his manager and trainer in a world of worry on account of his attitude before the big battle. The reason was a girl. For years Ryan had been in the habit of referring to a certain Kitty O’Connor as his girl and everybody concerned made no effort to deny him this right, that is, until a week before the championship melee. Boiled down it was just this: Ryan, in his pursuit of the ring profession had always found time to pay attention to Miss O’Connor, but suddenly, due to his selection as an opponent for Corbett, he had neglected her, and thoughts of his contest were always uppermost in his mind. Then reports had drifted into the Ryan camp that since Paddy had left for Atlantic City, Kitty was sporting a new beau. At first the grim descendant of one of the fightingest of the fighting families of Ryans, said and did nothing. But later one of Paddy’s friends, who had come down from New York to watch the training process, announced that so far as Paddy Ryan was concerned Kitty O’Connor was not interested. Frank Collins, Paddy’s manager, and Bob Lawson, the grizzly haired old trainer, expected Ryan to make some sort of outburst but the Bronx scrapper merely kept a stiff upper lip and went about his training duties as usual. 69 OfllHE TfGEn All went along fairly well until four days before the fight when suddenly Ryan quit training. He came down to breakfast on this particular day and announced at the table that he was through training for the title bout. Collins jumped up in his seat with an angry retort already framed upon his lips, but a warning glance from old Bob Lawson prevented him from creating a furore. Silence prevailed for a while with Paddy nervously toying with his meal, waiting for some scathing criticism to be heaped upon him. The retinue of sparr-ng partners sat around the table open-mouthed. Finally Lawson broke the ominous silence. “What’s the matter, Paddy boy?” he asked. “You’re not going to let a darn female dish you out of the world’s championship, are you?” The last of the Ryans remained motionless. “Say, listen boy, you have that championship cinched if you only want to work for it. Corbett’s a clever boy, I admit, but his punch couldn’t crack an egg. You aren’t yellow, are you?” Paddy sprang to his feet. “You know Pm not yellow, Bob, and Pll take the whole family of Corbetts on to prove it, but,” Paddy now talked slowly, “It’s this—er—love business that’s dropped me for the count.” “Well, I don’t know a whole let about this love business, but I’m saying this, if you don’t beat Corbett, you certainly are the yellowest fighter that ever laced on gloves.” With this Lawson left the table followed by all except Paddy, who sat starring fixedly ahead. It is the night of the fight and the huge Rotunda Hall is crammed with eager fight fans. The last of the preliminaries is being fought and the crowd is being worked up to a fever pitch for the main bout. Finally the last preliminary ends. The decision passes unnoticed by the crowd, who now tensely await the coming of the two battlers. Finally a mightly roar shakes the building as the smiling Corbett, attired in the latest style bathrobe, walks down the aisle to the ring. A little later a door opens on the opposite side of the hall and a grim faced Irishman walks out while another mighty acclamation bursts forth from the crowd, threatening to lift the roof. Bets are being made by the hundreds, while a few preliminary details are being taken care of in the ring. Despite all entreaties and pleadings on the part of Lawson and Collins, Ryan remained obdurate in his refusal to train, although by careful diet he kept his weight within the required amount. 70 The ItGEn Suddenly the crowd sat up appreciatively as a neatly dressed announcer steps into the ring1. With a stentorian voice he announce. to the crowd! “Ladies and Gentlemen, we have the pleasure to-night of witnessing a bout which carries with it the lightweight championship of the world. First, let me introduce Battling McGovern, retired undefeated champion of the world. (A great cheer was given the grand old fighter). He will referee this bout and since this is a scheduled 15- round contest, his decision will be final in selecting his successor. The announcer paused a moment but quickly recommenced speaking. “On my right, Paddy Ryan of the Bronx, weight, 134pounds. On my left, Lee Corbett, from Brooklyn, weight, 134 pounds even.’’ The two boxers waved to their followers as the announcer left the ring. The fourth round has just passed into oblivion. The crowd is restless, excited, even angry. Ryan, with a brilliant reputation for a willing boxer, has put up a novice’s brand of boxing. Corbett’s rapier like left has not only made Ryan look foolish but has drawn blood from various parts of the Irishman’s body. The fifth round passes with the same monotonous stalling on the part of Ryan. In the meantime, Corbett has beer, piling up points. Finally the infuriated crowd can stand it no longer and Ryan is badly booed and hissed as he walks head down to his corner at the end of round five. “Whoever told you that you was a fighter must have been telling you a bedtime story”, remarked one Rotunda patron. “If this is the last of the Ryan’s, thank God there’s no more” was another cry taken up by the crowd. Referee McGovern’s brows were knitted in perplexity at the way Ryan was performing. The worried Lawson took opportunity to tell Ryan what McGovern was thinking of him in hope to spur him on but the obstinate Irishman continued as unconcerned as ever. The sixth round was a vepetition of the previous rounds, Corbett making Ryan appear like a four year old but lacking the hitting power to win by a knockout. The warning of Referee McGovern and the derisive shouts of the crowd failed to have any effect on Paddy, who merely contented himself with swinging once in a while and then going to sleep on his feet and having his face peppered by Corbett’s left hand. “Oh! what a fighter. Some fake!” “He swings like a rusty gate!” 71 Tiged “Enter him in the nursery tournament!” “Take him out!” These and other cries were hurled at Ryan and thing’s looked ominous for the Bronx battler for as every round passed the most of the crowd grew worse. Then unnoticed by any of the fans a dapper young fellow with a confident air about him walked up to the ring and conferred silently with Lawson. Ryan greeted the visitor who was the same one who had watched the training at Atlantic City. Then the visitor quickly spoke while a change of color swept Ryan’s face. “Say, Paddy, old boy, guess who Kitty O’Connor threw you over for----guess.” “Who?” questioned Ryan thickly and uncomfortably. “Lee Corbett. Straight goods Paddy. I heard it from him himself. Also,” the young fellow wetn on briskly as the interval was growing short, “he’s been boasting to her all week as to how foolish he was going to make you look.” “He’s certainly doing his stuff well,” was the terse comment of Lawson. A fiery red continued to suffuse Ryan’s face and his muscles were twitching nervously when the gong clanged for the opening of the seventh round. Corbett lasted but two seconds in the seventh. Paddy sprang from his chair, rushed the amazed Corbett to the ropes, sent the Brooklyn boy’s head swimming with a left jolt and then calmly knocked him out with a crashing right to the jaw. The crowd sat still, astounded. Such an ending had been the most unexpected possible occurrance. Finally the crowd came to their senses and, forgetting their past abuse of Ryan, cheered him, as the new champion, to the echo. The excited Ryan followers led the new titleholder to his dressing room. Ryan refused to get dressed but sat listening, grimly smiling to the praise meted out to him. Finally, the excited fans leave the boxer, his trainer, and manager to themselves. A short silence prevailed, then Lawson arose, a few tears in his eyes, and said, “Paddy boy, I take back all I said. You’re the gamest two handed battler Pve ever met. Shake. The trainer and champion shook hands. Then Collins spoke. “Well, Paddy, we’re sitting on top of the world. Let’s celebrate.” Paddy mused slowly. “Yes,” but in a few minutes. 72 The IfGED “We can’t get everything. Corbett gets the girl (a suspicious :hoking noise emanated from the Irishman’s throat, at this point) md I—I get the title. At the best it’s a split verdict.” Paddy shook off his feeling, gamely replaced on his face a truly (rish grin and answered, “Let’s go!” —Jack Henry, ’27 “THE TOE OF TYPHOON” It was high noon in Bushville. The warm sun beat down upon the roof of the village store. Spring had at last come to Bushville. The two loafers sitting on the store porch could see it in the violets that peeped out from under the edge of the store porch. They could feel it in the warmth of the sun. They could hear it in the staccato crack of the carpet-beaters. It was evident in the faintly elusive, yet altogether satisfying fragrance of freshly growing things. They could even taste it in the obnoxious composition called by their wives, ‘Molasses and Sulphur Compound.” The two men on the porch knew that the annual miracle of spring had once again taken place. They were blind to its beauty, but they appreciated it, nevertheless.They appreciated it much more than their less fortunate friends, who under the direction of their tyrannical wives, were at this moment so industriously beating carpets. The two men were awakened from their reverie by the appearance over a hill in the distance of a slightly stooped man, whose extreme height was apparent even in the distance. He walked with a peculiar shuffle, common only to the denizens of the far north, where snow-shoes are not only helpful but a practical necessity. As he drew nearer, the cause of the shuffle was obvious. His practice of going without shoes had caused his feet, already abnormally large, to spread until they rebelled against all confines. The two men on the porch watched his approach with interest. It was a rare occasion indeen when Typhoon Brown deigned to pay the inhabitants of Bushville a visit in the middle of the week. Living far out in the country, it was his custom to come to the store but once a week and that merely for provisions. Naturally superstitious, the solitary life he led caused his imagination to run riot. In his credulous ears, the yowl of a lonely cat became the wail of a panther, and in a half grown garter snake, he saw a full-fledged rattler. For miles around his name was synonimous with exaggeration. His credulous disposition made him the butt of many a practical joke. Added to his credulity was boastfulness. He had been in a few minor engagements in the Span-ish-American war, and his tale of his own exploits lost nothing in the telling. As he came up the steps both men nodded. Si Evans spoke. “Well, Ty, how’s the weather out your way?” “Tolerable,” said Typhoon, wagging his head solemnly, “Tolerable, I can’t complain of the weather, but I sure do hate to have to listen to those spooky noises in the old Leaver Cabin next door to me. Not that I’m afraid or anythin’, but a feller can’t sleep with all that moaning goin’ on.” 73 The TfGEn Bill Parker chuckled, “You mayn’t be afraid,” he said, “but you couldn’t get me to sleep in that place for a good bit of money. I’ve seen and heard things in there. Why, I wouldn’t sleep in that house for ten dollars!” Typhoon laughed patronizingly. “I just wish somebody would offer me ten for sleeping in that house,” he said, “why with a good double-barrelled shotgun I’d sleep in there any day in the week.” Bill reached for his wallet. “Well Ty, I call your bluff. I’ll deposit ten dollars with Evans here and it’s yours if you stay the night in Leaver Cabin.” Typhoon swallowed hard. “I’d rather not tonight,” he said. “To tell the truth I hev a bad cold and I might git pneumonia or somethin’ worse.” His excuse was drowned ir. the roar of laughter that came from Bill and Si. “I knew it, ve old fraud,” said Bill. “You’ve no more heart than a chicken.” Typhoon was nettled. His bravery was being questioned. “Very few of the Spaniards said that,” he said proudly, “I’ll take yer offer and y’can get ready to hand over that ten tomorrow morning. By evening all Bushville knew of Typhoon’s rash bet. Likewise, the story of the haunted Leaver Cabin was told and re-told. The cabin was a famous one in the little town’s history. It had been occupied by one of the town’s first settlers, when Indian raids were still common. The Indians had surprised the home one day when all were away but Mary Leaver, a bride of a few months. The Indians, ever ingenious in devising new forms of torture, hit upon the novel expedient of cutting off their victim’s toes, one by one until she told the whereabouts of her husband’s gold. Mary was saved by her husband’s return, but her mind never took return to its normal balance. Even yet, she was said to return and roam about her cabin on moonlight nights. This story had been told often in Typhoon’s presence, but it had never affected him as it did now. As he walked home that evening through the dull gray twilight, he perspired in every pore. Why, oh why, had he been so rash as to accept that bet? Even now he seemed to see the pale, transparent form of Mary, flitting ahead of him through the shadows. He would have given everything he possessed to have been able to go home to his comfortable shanty, lock the door and go to bed. But no. Bill and Si had promised to come out and see him safely esconced in the Leaver Cabin. There was no way of dodging the issue. Either he must sleep in the Leaver Cabin, or be branded with the stigma of cowardice the rest of his days. He ate supper that evening, as a prisoner about to be hung with no hope of a reprieve. He started as footsteps sounded on his door step. Bill and Si entered. They were plainly nervous, and tried to pass it off with jocularity. “Sure is a nice moonlight night, Ty,” said Bill. “Yes sir,” said Si, “and I reckon if you’re gonna earn them ten plunks you’d better get an early start.” 74 The TfGEn DlDPlQ Typhoon rose with a look of determination on his ashen face. “Well, boys,” he said, “nary a Brown ever backed down on his promise. Let’s get going.” The three rose and went out into the night. Bill picked up the roll of blankets he had left outside the threshold. “Tnese are nice warm blankets,” he said sympathetically, “if they do be a mite short for you.” Ty had picked up his shotgun as he came out. “Yes sir,” he said, “I’ll be comfortable all right. What’s more, I’ll be on the lookout for any tricks.” It was but a few minutes walk to the cabin. All too short was the time until he was left alone, with no company but the sighing wind. He nervously climbed into the creaking old bunk, perhaps the very one that Mary had used. The long hours dragged slowly. Finally his keen eyes dropped, and Typhoon Brown slept, with the ghost of Mary Leaver still unharmed. He never knew why he wakened, Perhaps an unexplainable rustle. But never-the-less, he was awake with wide, staring eyes, and a smothered feeling around his heart. The room was flooded with moonlight, and there at the foot of the bed was a weird, uncanny object. A white serrated object, with five distincts parts, “The Toes of Mary Leaver.” With every nerve in his body tingling with horror, he reached for his gun and levelling it, fired. There was a scream of agony as the buckshot speed to its mark. The gun rebounded from his hands and fell to the floor. And then all was still. The following day was ironing day at Doctor Perkins’ house. Mrs. Perkins paused in her ironing and thoughtfully surveyed her husband. “Bob,” she said, “why was Typhoon Brown in to see you?” Her husband paused in the act of pouring disinfectant in the wash basin. “Very peculiar case,” he said. “The big toe was completely dismembered at the joint. Strange Brown is so ashamed of a hunting accident. He said he let an anvil drop on it, but I found a load of buckshot in the cartilage. —Wycliffe McCracken, ’26. TIME, WEATHER AND SEASONS It was at sunset, and the sun was setting slowly in the west, leaving its remaining glory in the sky, a sight beautiful in the extreme, with its pink and amber tints intermingled with a magnificent gold and red hue. As I slowly wound my way along the lonely road with only that beautiful sunset as a companion, I wondered what the next turn would bring for the road was combined of large bends, each one seemingly larger than the last. I was slowly approaching the largest, popularly known as Horse Shoe Bend. I at last rounded it and my attention was instantly attracted to a small child lying in the gutter, his eyes wide open and staring at the skies above as if entranced. I stood watching him and suddenly 75 The IfGEn and quite unexpectedly he turned his eyes full upon me. He stared at me as if I had been a supernatural being and as if he did not recognize to what species 1 belonged. With a sudden spring he was on his feet, and saying in perfect English, “Good day and where might you be going?” “Most anywhere,” was my immediate reply, “and where might you be going?” I added further. “Oh,” he said, “1 live in a little house up the road with two old gentlemen, Time and Weather.” “Time and Weather,” I mused, “what odd names,” and aloud, “What is your name may I ask?” “My name is Seasons: For three months of the year I am called Winter; for another three, Summer; for another three, Autumn; anc yet another three, Spring: but I am generally known as Seasons and oh,” he suddenly cried, “Would you like to meet my foster fathers?” “I most certainly would,” I answered. “Come, then,” he said and taking my hand we proceeded farther up the road. Silence fell heavily. At last my attention was attracted to a small house with two windows and a door. A faint light was gleaming from one of the windows and a slender wisp of smoke was wending its way from the chimney. The small boy ran ahead of me and threw' open the door, motioning for me to enter. I entered a room, scantily furnished ami dimly lighted, with a huge old-fashioned fire place at one side. It w'as occupied by two old gentlemen, gazing meditatively into the fire. They were very old looking, about the same age, wdth wizened faces, high cheek bones, snowy hair and beards, and knarled hands. Their eyes flashed like bits of steel, and they held an unnatural glow, intensely bright and shaded by shaggy brows. The small boy exclaimed excitedly, “Fathers, I met a stranger on the road and invited him to come in.” The two old men gazed at me piercingly and at last arose, extending their hands and said, “Stranger, ye are welcome, out hut is a shalter for the wanderer, a solace to the wild.” I shook hands with them and sat down and being bewildered, said nothing just then. Silence again fell heavily. At last to break w'hat wras becoming monotonous, I said, “I hope I have not intruded, I met Seasons on the road and he wanted me to come in.” The old man called Time answered slowly, “Do not be offended at our silences, we are old, not accustomed to meeting strangers and seldom talk. I any my companion here, Weather, are old men and our only ward is Seasons. I am nineteen hundred and twenty-six years old, Weather is the same age. For years we have been living together in this lonely hut outside of the world, knowing little of the w'orld and caring less. Being twro of the rulers over the earth, you w'ould expect us to be interested, but strangely enough we are not. Seasons here, pointing to the boy, takes care of the world with our assistance of course. 1 regulate time and Weather controls rain, snow, sunshine and the winds.” He had spoken in rather a dreamy sing- 76 1 The IfGEn song manner. He took out a large blue handkerchief and violently blew his nose, and then as if the effort had been altogether too strenuous, he sighed heavily. As if this was the signal for him to begin, Weather took up the conversation. “Stranger,” he began, “we live alone, but we are not entirely ignorant of the actions of the world, for Seasons keeps us well informed and verily many times we have been displeased.” And then suddenly as if this had touched a vital chord of his being, he flamed up and became so angry that I feared for my safety. He howled and suddenly like magic it was raining torrents outside, beating on the window panes in mad fury. It was thus that I learned that Weather was a man of a violent temper and changeable disposition. Then just as suddenly his face became calm, the rain settled down to a fine drizzle and again he haltingly took up his conversation, “Yea, verily,” he said, “the world is queer to the extreme. I for one cannot understand it. Seasons hath told us of your aeroplane and I alone can stop it, by sending bad weather. Yea, and he hath told us of your locomotives and that only great snowdrifts can stop them. Of course something mechanical might happen that would wreck them but Seasons would not understand. Ye know that my power was given by the Almighty to use as I saw fit and pedhaps I have wreaked vengeance when I should not have done so. Seasons has begged of me to send nice weather for the Spring and Summer and verily I have promised it. So be it.” As he finished, Seasons clapped his hands excitedly and looking up into my face said wistfully, “Yes and stranger, winter is almost over. I know the winter has been a rather severe one, but my father, Weather, has been frightfully angered many times, so as a compensation he has granted me fair weather for my Spring and Summer, and oh stranger, I would like to know where you live and what you know of the world.” I related the facts, one by one, telling him I lived in Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania. Then I told him all I could remember of the world, even relating something of our Beaver Falls High School. “How strange,” he murmured, “I know something of the world but not nearly so much as that, oh do tell me something more!” I, for want of something to tell him, described as much as I knew' of the first around the world flight of aeroplanes. Weather rose from his chair and bellowed forth, “Do you mean, stranger that those strange birds did that in defiance of weather?” “Yes,” 1 replied. He walked to the door and in his anger, roared. A crash of thunder, a flash of lightning issued forth. That was his answer. I awoke, sat up in bed, wondering where I was, then laughed aloud. What an odd, strange dream I thought, and the heavy rain w'hich w'as falling outside, strangely coincided with my dreams. —Thelma Gilkey, ’26. 77 The TfGEn THE PALACE OF A HUNDRED DOORS I found a palace of a hundred doors— A hundred chambers, strange and new, And as a traveller explores In foreign land, idly I, too, Slipt silently the palace through. Each room of mystery charmed in turn, And yet from each I turned away, Confident that I would discern A rival yet more new and gay— A merry game for youth to play! So much I missed, unknowingly, In mad and curious haste, Ignorant that not one step could be Ever again retraced! —Mary Celeste Helmick, ’21. 78 3 The Tiger FAIRYLAND Oh who will come and dare to roam with me, And for one day of worldly cares be free, Through meadows green to woods just o’er the hill, By sparkling stream so blue, we’ll roam at will. Here from the cool and grassy glens so deep, They sky and dainty budding flowers peep. While wafted on a gentle breeze we’ll hear The songs of many birds from far and near. ’Tis here they say the charming fairies dwell And weave about this place a magic spell. And here on silver moonlit nights so bright, They dance and sing and make a lovely sight. ’Tis only God could make this wondrous spot Wherein we glean our purest highest thought; As by the gentle babling stream we lie And watch the fleecy picture clouds go by. —Betty Brandon, ’27. “NIT A” Oh, she was slim and tall, She wore a Spanish shawl— A flash of color! Dark skin with just a hint Of dusky deep-rose tinge In her cheeks. Her lips were poppy red— The glory of her head Was black and glossy. Her eyes were like the light, Of camp-fires in the night, My Spanish beauty! —Dorothy D. Raymer, ’26. 79 IfGEn UK HAPPINESS The lights of the city are sparkling At the clay’s calm eventide, And the happy family is gathered Round the cheery home fireside. The long day’s work is over, And the time has come to rest In the comfort of those who love us, And the home that God has blest. —Margaret Leigh, ’27. COMPENSATION The man is born to live and learn And through the grade seems steep He will in days of future joy The gracious harvest reap. The sun sinks down at close of day The moon comes o’er the hill And goodness comes to everything For ’tis the great God’s will. —Richard Potts, ’27. “THE CALL” Have you felt the call of the road, Or the lure of wind and the sea ? It’s a call that tunes all your heart In a wild and sweet melody. You will want to race like a god! It’s a call of those who are free! It’s a song that charms, it’s the lure Of the road, and the wind, and the sea. —Dorothy Raymer, ’26. 80 The TTged WHO HAS NOT MADE A GARDEN? Oh, Adam had a garden In Eden, long ago, He walked in it at even-time To see the flowers a-blow. But oh, he never knew the joy, The wonder that is mine Each time I see the miracle Of bush and plant and vine! Who has not made a garden, A garden, great or small, Has never known the true delight Of summer-time, at all! Who has not hoed and planted The long rows, straight and true, And watched, with eagerness and pride, The plants slip softly through. Ah, he has lost a kingdom That he shall never know— Who has not made a garden, His own, to reap and sow! —Mary Celeste Helmick, ’21. CONTENTMENT The sun is setting in the west, The owl is rising from his sleep The cattle are lying down to rest From weary day in pastures deep. The clucking hen with many a peep Gathers her family under her wings To keep them safe from creeping things. Night has closed its hood o’er all Leaving the earth with darkness covered The winds have long since ceased to call The moon with mellow beauty hovered Overhead like a pot of gold uncovered. —Eugene Grimm, ’27. 81 TO MOTHER DEAR The sweetest poem ere’ whispered low, The finest song that we do know, The fairest word ere’ heard by ear, In every age is “Mother, Dear!” The one who brought our first wee toy, The one who caused our time of joy, The one who pined when we were sad, The one who laughed when we were glad, The greatest name the world will know, The sweetest name the world will hear, In every age is “Mother, Dear.” —Ruth Clark. THE ROSE AND THE BREEZE A beautiful rose in a garden once grew Who nodded her head to a soft breeze that blew. That pretty red rose bathed in perfume so sweet Came out of her shelter the cool breeze to meet, And nodding so shyly she whispered quite low, “Dear Breeze tell me please where it is that you go. Each eve when the sun slowly slips out of sight; And flowers their petals do close for the night; You rush by so swiftly and sigh soft and low. Why hurry, Dear Breeze, can you not slower go?” “I have work to do,” said the sweet cooling breeze. “Each evening I play for the leaves on the trees. They dance to my music and lullabies sing To birdies whose nests on the boughs gently swing. The foreheads so white of sick children I fan. On hot summer evenings I do what I can To make them more comf’y and put them to sleep; And through the windows the stars at them peep. Although I should like to I can’t tarry here,” And the breeze on the cheek of the l’ose left a tear. —Vella Welsh, ’27. 82 The TfGEn THAT BOOK OF MINE Who was your friend in days of old, Who gave you thoughts ne’er to be sold; Whom have you kept from hands not thine, The answer is: “That book of mine.” Where did you learn of toil and strife, Where did you learn the trials of life; From where did you learn thoughts divine, The answer is: “That book of mine.” —Ruth Clark. DOWN THE LANE Along the fields the shadows fall, The sun is hanging low, And on the ivy mantled wall, Soft lights oft come and go. A Zepher wafted from above, Drift’s o’er the waving grain, My heart goes out to meet my love, As he comes down the lane. —Vera Breckenbridge, ’27. LULLABIES Breathing words of rest divine, Crooning, oh, so soft and low; Mother to her babe sang sweetly, Lullabies of long ago. —Margaret Barr, ’27- THE SEA I love to sail upon the sea A sailor I was born to be I love to hear the captain shout And see the sailors scurry ’bout. Some folks don’t care about the sea, But if you were to ask of me The thing I like the very best, I’d say the sea before the rest. —Grace Simons, ’27. 83 The IfGEn LIFE’S SONG Are you the sort of person Who makes a say worth while ? Is there really sunshine In just your friendly smile? And when the clouds are gayest, Does the li.srht gleam through— If your eyes are shining, Like heaven’s deepest blue? Then life will be a song Of silver melody— And you will spend your days, In sweetest harmony. —Dorothy D. Raymer, ’26. DREAMS I once had a dream, It was really quite beautiful There was a blue sky, And white May blossoms, And my heax’t was young. Then I awakened And the dream was broken— My heart was broken too. It is strange how human beings Break their hearts over dreams! —Dorothy D. Raymer, ’26. A NOBLE THOUGHT A noble thought came drifting down The stream of Life one day. It drifted to the Shores of Thought, And there imbedded lay. It lay there, till the Waves of Time Did almost it obscure. But when the time to use it came It was still sweet and pui’e. And thus we find that noble thoughts To us are carried ev’ry day So we should cherish each one thought To aid us o’er some weary way. —Mary Kemp, ’27. 84 AMBITIONS A poet I would like to be, And of great themes write; Of warriors bold in days of old, Of maidens fair, great love untold; And yet, methinks, I too should like A sailor’s life at stormy seas, Where men are men, without pink teas. I’d scrub the decks, I’d turn the wheel, I’d wait on captains, at their meal; Now of the two, which shall it be, I can’t decide the best for me. —Grace Barchus. SPRING Speak not of melancholy days, When nature seemed so cold, For she but sleeps to rise again In beauty as of old. All the flowers again will bloom, And all the birds will sing, And all the trees again be green, When comes the smiling spring. —Clifford Boyd, ’27. ARBUTUS There are beautiful flowers in deep green forests, Exotic flowers in expensive florists, But, the first flower of springtime that seems to suit us Is the lovely, elusive trailing arbutus. —Bernadette Bedore, ’27. 85 The TfGEn SOMERSET BAY In the cool of the evening when everything’s hushed; When the beautiful rays in the West fade away, Then’s the time when I love to stroll down the paths To the old sandy beach of Somerset Bay. There I linger to list to the waves’ happy splash, And wish for a moment to join in their play, For so joyous and glad and cheerful they seem As they touch the old beach of Someset Bay. And as oft I have stood there and watched the waves beat ’Gainst the old sandy beach of Somerset Bay. I have prayed to keep on with life’s tasks Be as patient and happy anti cheerful as they. —Margaret Barr, ’27. MOTHER With heart so pure and true she stands With faith in you like iron bands With tender care and mercies she Lovingly watches both baby and me. For brother and me does all she can To make us both fine gentlemen. Oh, folks I say there is no other Can take the place of my dear mother. —Harold Seyler. BUTTERFLIES When I was in the Garden yesterday, I saw two little butterflies at play. They flitted here and there so quickly, I Couid hardly see them with my naked eye. With dust their velvet wings were covered o’er And on their heads they bright antennas wore. The first was red and it was splotched with blue, The other green which had a purplish hue. —Stewart McCready. 86 ’PLAINT OF A SCHOOL BOY Through the halls of high school Down the steps of stone, I hurry to reach the road way Far from the school’s dreary drone. I walk on the bridge o’er the river That runs past the pretty green hill, I wonder when school will be over And leave me to wander at will. I walk over numberless hillsides While my mem’ry flys aloft; I watch the birds and the insects And the eagle in high rocky croft; I hear the lark in the heavens; I list to the song-birds’ trill ; But I wonder when school will be over And leave me to wander at will. The pine-trees grow from the valleys Tall, strong, and straight. They remind me of some great professor Whose opinion would carry much weight. I wish I could grow like a pine-tree, Growing alone on a hill, For our school will never be over And leave to wander at will. I’d grow up there on the hill-side And watch the people below'. The men at their work, w'ould labor; The children to school w'ould go; But I would stand here forever Up there on the side of the hill For at school I could never be clever I’d wish I could wander at will. Apoligies to Sidney Lanier. —John Slater, ’27. 87 EVENING Gone the crimson glory of the west, Now all the bird? are hushed and still; Grant us peace and quiet in our rest, Till sun-up on the eastern hill. Down here in the valley it is night, The new moon beautifully serene. Shines a jewelled crescent, gleaming white— Two shimmering silvery stars between. Stillness soothes and brings us heart-felt peace There is a calmness in twilight. Sleep will come, and all our cares will cease Until the dawn comes rosy bright. —Dorothy D. Raymer, ’26. MY THOUGHTS How oft when dim twilight is lowering And gloom is beginning to fall; Comes thoughts of the days of my girl-hood And mother’s sweet gentle call. Come thoughts that are dear to my memory Come thoughts that I ne’er will forget, Of hours I would like to live over Of the things and the persons I’d met. They are loving and sweet to my memory Those times that departed too soon— I’d give all my hopes to live over Those times that but lasted a moon. 88 —Evelyn Mellon. The IfGED THE CHILDREN OF THE CITY They sing the praises of the city Who dwell near the sheltered walls— Prosperity, smoked and gritty, To her children oft befalls; Great ships bear a fabled treasure From many a distant shore, Here mansions high meet a sapphire sky, Like castles in days of yore. Power, that a man might die for, Wealth, that a king might give, Success, that t!ie wisest sigh for, And Fame, that will always live:— The doors seem widely open, But the Fates are guarding there— Whom the gods love best may pass the test And the crowns of laurel wear. But for one, in his robe of scarlet, There are many in rags of grey, Who toil on, on, to dusk from dawn, Existing day by day; Fugatives, lost, bewildered, With none to help them rise; For those who win in the city’s din, These are the sacrifice. Power—is it worth the battle ? Wealth—can it bring content? Success has a hollow rattle, And Fame never yet has meant The joy of a simple cottage, With enough and to spare for all, Where the ripened grain yields its gold again Freely, at the harvest call. They sing the praise of the city, Who dwell with the chosen few— But hear ye another’s ditty In praise of a sky that’s blue, And fields where the Spring comes gayly, To linger, tender-eyed, ’Til at last she goes, as she flings a rose To gladden the country-side. —Mary Celeste Helmick, ’21. 89 :ai and dkm.s cum -______'—. •'T ..

School to w hich each member had been privileged to ask one guest. One of the features of entertainments was an original pan-tomine called “Hiawatha,’’ presented by Public Speaking Class S. This semester the dub is planning on having an open meeting in the Carnegie Library, May 20, 1926. and after which will be a social gathering in the gymnasium. The dub will also hold a breakfast the last rooming of the the school term and possibly make it an annual affair. There has been a request for the formation of a Dramatic Alumni Club of former members of which we hope to hear in the near future. ‘ tffwers far First rewesier President_________Thomas Moltrup Captair Team 1______Harif Jenney Captair Team 2____Kicnael Progus Sec y A Treas____Dorothy 'W allace —Rose Caplan, S GIRLS RESERVE FIRST SEMESTER STUDENT COUNCIL The TfGEn THE GIRL RESERVES The Girl Warrior rode forth into the Battle of Life, prepared and unafraid On her left arm she bore a blue and white triangular shield with the inscription “Knowledge, Health and Soul” inclosing a device of the letters “G. R.” In her right hand, the Girl Warrior held aloft the bright sword service. Her eyes followed always a light of celestial origin as she faced the Dawn and the Battle of Life. All through the day she fought, destroying evil, righting wrong. And when the struggle was over and Peace at last reigned, then the Girl Warrior rode back comforting the heartsick, caring for the poor and suffering, healing all hurts and wounds. With all the tenderness and compassion in her heart, the Girl lifted her face and was glorified! She had lived up to her slogan, “Face Life Squarely” and to her purpose, “To Find and Give the Best.” She walked and lo! a trail of light appeared. This is symbolical of the Girl Reserve Club since its organization and of the work of the Club this year. A great deal of service was accomplished during the school term. In November the girls donated eleven bushel of potatoes to the Rochester Epileptic Home. This was the Thanksgiving service. At the Chrismas season the Club aided a poor family in Beaver Falls and brought Christmas cheer to this home. Gift of toys, clothing and a Christmas tree and trimmings were given and a Christmas dinner was also provided by the girls. Near Easter, the Girl Reserves sold boxes of candy eggs and chocolate bars to finance the sending of two members to Camp Ne-pahwin this summer. A bake sale was also held to increase the amount of money in the treasury. 93 The TfGEn In April the following officers for the next year wel manv President, Florence Jenney; Secretary, Margaret Barr. A gie‘ new members were also admitted earlier in the season, many new members were also admitted earlier in the season. This year the Club was even more closely adherent to the Constitution and the programs presented at each meeting were instructive as well as entertaining. Each Girl Reserve realizes that from the visions of youth come inspirations to make tomorrow better than to-day. These visions may become real in the giving of self in love for God and Man, love expressed in terms of human helpfulness, surely the Girl Reserve Club is truly “Following the Gleam” when she lives up to the purpose of the Beaver Falls High School Organization. The purpose: To promote Christian living amoung ourselves. To uplife the physical, social, mental and spiritual standards of our school. To serve the community in which we live.

T PEACH '-FRUIT SALAD ALIMONY OH FOR A FELLOW HI-Y Officers for Spring President___________________Albert Seaburn Vice Pres______________Tom Barber Secretary_____________________Paul Wilson Treasurer_______William Morrison Officers for Fall President__________Charles Corbett Vice Pres_____________Jack Balph Secretary_______William Morrison Treasurer______________Tom Barber The year of 1925-1926 was another crowning year for the Beaver Falls Hi-Y Club. Beginning the school term with the one idea in mind, to make the Hi-Y Club a success, the members of the organization have brought the club to an envious position in the eyes of the community and their fellow high school students. Probably the biggest feature of the two semesters’ work was the entertaining of the Older Boys’ Conference of Western Pennsylvania. The task of entertaining the several hundred boys and leaders who would be present for the conference was one of the largest that the local club has ever been called upon to do. By the hearty co-operation of the various civic organizations, the high school authorities, the ministerial association and the individual townspeople the conference was entertained. The value of having had this group of young people in our city is inestimable. The effect they have had on the young men of the high school and the remainder of the town was easily worth the effort expended. Albert Seaburn, president of the club at the time, was elected prsident of the conference. By constant effort on the part of the various advisors the members of the club have been able to bring the club to a high plane, where non-members may really look to it with respect. This opportunity is taken to show the appreciation of the organization for the services of Paul S. Weston, former faculty adviser, Rev. T. D. Rees, spiritual adviser, and Neal Matthews, present faculty adviser. These men have gladly given their time in order that they might give the boys the benefit of their expert knowledge of boys and boy problems. Membership in the Beaver Falls Hi-Y Club must come by election. It should be the ambition of every boy to become a member of a real, live, Christian boys’ organization in his high school. The Hi-Y Club is the only club which can fill this need. —W. H. M., ’26. BtooMtRS SHAKE WELL BEFORE USIH LLIIfl 0 immn Steves ford o� o LOST, STRAYED OR STOLEN.

SURPLUS BAGGAGE SwiHMlN hole PAST STEPPERS '2 with 1 OH,BOB OUR MUSIC DEPARTMENT For the first time in the history of our school the department of music has played a very prominent part. With the coming of Paul W. Stevens, a regular routine for musical work in many lines was instituted in our school. Glee clubs were organized, the orchestra received the addition of many new instruments at the expense of the school, and chorus work for commencement, baccalaureate and the contest was well taken care of by our instructor. The Orchestra and Glee Club gave a concert at the Carnegie Auditorium to which the public voiced their approval as well done. In the contest work at Geneva we were only nosed out of some very close decisions to a a second in the chorus and a third in the Orchestra contests. —H. G. M , ’23. 100 THE ORCHESTRA The Tger 102 ) The TfGER THE FRENCH CLUB With the coming of Spring, many things renewed their life. The grass and the flowers came again and the streams began to flow as they had done in the previous years. Not last in the race for recreation was our French Club. This club was of great importance in previous years but as each class passed out of school, they took with them the bluk of French learning away with the students. Thus each year the French Club died a natural death only to be resurrected with renewed strength. This year the French Club was not lacking in interest. At the first meeting an interesting play, “Rosalie,” and also several vocal selections were given. These were successes due to the training of Miss Roney. The selection of officers followed which resulted in the election of John Dodds, president; Rondeau Brunelle, vice president; Ruth Dunkerley, secretary. The program committee, headed by William Morrison provided very interesting programs. It is predicted that the French Club will be a real success in future years. —A. J. D., ’26. JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET One of the most pleasing social events of the entire school year was the Junior-Senior banquet held in the High School gymnasium, Friday evening, May 14. Approximately two hundred members of the A Junior and A Senior classes, the faculty and their wives attended the affair. The party was all that could be desired, even from the very earliest part of the evening. The String Bean quartet, composed of string instruments and the Hollywood Howlers entertained in the upper hall before word was given to enter the dining hall. Here the guests saw the gymnasium attractively decorated in the colors of the two classes, blue and white and grey and old rose. The table was very prettily decorated and arranged. Following a sumptous banquet toasts were heard, Mr. Pitzer 103 The TfGEn Trf .'•peaking on “Smile, Smile, Smile,” Marie Jenney on “Eventually, Why Not Now?” Paul Wilson spoke on “No-Nox,” Rea Shupe, “It Never Rains, But It Pours,” Ruth Dunkerley, “Orange and Black,” and Tom Barber on “School Days.” The entertainment consisted of a violin solo by Grace Simons, a reading by Miss Younggren and a play entitled “Letters.” At the close of the evening’s banquet and entertainment music was furnished by the Tamaqua Club orchestra and was greatly enjoyed by all. —William Morrison, ’26. THE FACULTY PARTY On a certain night last spring the faculty of Beaver Falls High School gave a party for all the students who had participated in the academic contests during the year. At eight o’clock the fun started. The first laugh of the evening was afforded by the pantomine of “Lockinvar.” Mr. Homer Williams, with a blue tarn placed jauntily over one ear, made a dashing Lockinvar, and Miss Charlotte Roney as the blushing bride were the stars of the affair. Mr. Gensbigler as King, strode about waving a sword and looking very fierce. The audience was impressed with the calm dignity of the Queen portrayed by Miss Martha Cook. The gushing bridesmaids were Misses Lena Tomasson, Lulu Sutton and Olive Jamison. The second number was a thrilling bit of drama entitled “Bluebeard. ” Mr. Coovert took the part of Bluebeard the terrible. His acting was realistic that the audience actually shivered with horror. As the unfortunate, curious bride Miss Sutton proved to be excellent in an emotional role. Her pleadings for mercy would have wrung tears from a heart of stone. When the climax was reached, Mr. Graham as the brother, came to the rescue. When he had dispatched Bluebeard he very efficiently removed the villian via the back of the neck. In this play, all the spoken parts were spelled out letter by letter. The third pantomine to be presented was “When the Light Went Out.” Mr. Ackley was the double dyed villian, Mr. Williams was the brave lover, Miss Sager his innocent sweetheart, and the role of mother-in-law was played by Miss Le Cates. The feature of the pantomine was a wrestling match between the lover and the villian. The next part of the program was a field meet, in charge of Mr. Weston, with Mr. Ginsbigler and Mr. Ackley as judges. The students were divided into six groupes as families, under the head of a faculty member. In each event of the meet the families sent out their entries. Miss Tomasson’s group proved to be the highest scores. The events were as follows: 104 ) QQJIThe TlGEn 1. Mile Relay—Contestants astride Kiddy-Kars. 2. The 100-Yard Dash—Each entry chewed a cracker and then whistled a tune. 3. The 200-Yard Dash—Chewing gum race for three minutes. 4. Candle Race—Relay. 5. Shot Put—Throwing candy into the mouth, pitcher and catcher. 6. A Cheering Contest—Won by Miss Jamison’s group. The last event was a coon hunt. A hunter from each family selected four hounds and the chase was on! The coons were little licorice candies. After delicious refreshments were served, there followed an hour of dancing. This Faculty Party proved to be the most cleverly planned and the most delightful social event of the school year. The students are indebted to the faculty for their enjoyment of the evening, and in appreciation can only say that “Vive la the Faculty and many more of their parties.” —Dorothy Raymer, ’26. JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET The most elaborate social event of the season was held December 12, in the high school gymnasium when the January Division of 1927 honored the January Division of 1926 at the semi-annual Junior-Senior banquet. About one hundred and twenty persons attended the affair, including Juniors, Seniors, and members of the faculty. The gymnasium was nicely decorated with colors of both classes. Favors and menus were distributed to each person. A large bowl of roses decorated the center of the table. The Juniors’ welcome and the Seniors’ response were given by the president of both classes, Norman Woelfel and Thomas Moltrup. Toasts were given by William Belloff, “Be Loyal”; Mr. Weston, “Fight, Fight, Fight”; Irven Rirnby, “Have Faith,” and Margaret Blattner, “School Life.” The entertainment consisted of a one act play, “The Mayor and the Manicurist,” and “Ragged Grand Opera,” presented by members of the Geneva Dramatic Club. The entertainment was enjoyed by all. Music was furnished by Mr. Stevens’ special high school orchestra. —Nelly Freed. SENIOR DAY Another Senior Day was ushered in on January by the Januarv graduating class of ’26. Tom Moltrup presided as master of ceremonies, and announced the following funny amusements. First was a pantomine entitled “Julius Caesar” and parts of it had the tragic element that befell Caesar. The characters were enrobed in track suits, bath robes and other apparel. The next number was a colored 105 The TfGER sketch by Donald Gregory and Bob Hanes which took over the assembly. The next number on the program was by the “Banana Stock” orchestra composed of Jim Pollock, Bob Hanes, Harry Wolfson and Abe Lenkowitz. Then a number of girls having partners dressed like boys gave an exhibition of good dancing. To wind up the program the Senior class lined up and sang the “Orange and the Black.” —Robert Park, ’26. JUNIOR PARTY, OCTOBER 24, 1925 Clowns, gypsies, toreadors and other weird and grotesque figures of every description crowded into the high school gym Saturday evening, October 24, when the Junior class held their annual class party. A large sized crowd attended the affair. The decorations in the gymnasium were probably the most artistic and appropriate that have been used in the school. Corn stalks, pumpkins, and Orange and Black ribbons were all used to advantage. The dimmed light effect showed up well. An entertaining program was presented during the evening by various members of the class. The entertainment was under the supervision of Miss Younggren. The big feature was an Indian wigwam. An illustrated ghost story was also read. The affair was quite successful. A Hallowe’en lunch was served following the entertainment. Music was furnished by the Orange and Black Sirens. FRESHMAN RECEPTION FEB. 20, 1926 One of the best receptions in the history of Beaver Falls High School was given on the evening of February 20, to aid in getting the Freshmen acquainted with their classmates and environment. About six hundred students, members of the alumni and faculty attended. The following program was presented: Songs (selected)—Hopeless Hollywood Howlers. Humorous Sketch—Florence Jenney, Margaret Richardson, and Charles McGrath. Selection—High School Orchestra. One-Act Play—“The Hick Honeymoon”—Dorothy Wallace, Marguerite Daquila, Harold Marcus, Wycliffe McCracken, William Morrison. Dancing followed the program and last but not least, a delicious lunch was served. —Nelly Freed, ’26. 106 ) The uger nr FRESHMAN RECEPTION OCT. 17, 1925 A large crowd contributed to the success of the reception given to the Freshmen on the evening of Oct. 17. The entertainment directed by Miss Younggren showed our Beaver Falls High School talent. First on the program was a dance given by Marguerite Daquila and Clara Sakraida, which received thunderous applause. Harold Marcus’ Review was a hilarious success and proved to be one of the main attractions of the evening. A one-act play entitled, “Who’s Crazy Now,” by Dorothy Wallace, Marie Jenney, Eugene Douds, Albert Seaburn and Harry Slem was a howling success. The Orange and Black Sirens made their initial appearance, led by Richard Ridgely. After the entertainment, the remaining time was given over to the refreshment committee and to dancing the light fantastic. —Nelly Freed, ’26. FRESHMAN DAY, FEB. 12, 1926 On Friday morning, Feb. 12, the newly admitted Freshmen were placed in the center of the new gym to be gazen on by the upper classmen. After going through funny stunts, the greenies formed in line for a snake dance. Headed by Danny Debuno they shyly promenaded around the gym. At the conclusion of the fun the “kids” stripped off their green draperies and were then just one of us. Again we cannot neglect mentioning the praise which must be given to the Hi-Y for starting this day in place of the old time hazing. —Nelly Freed, ’26. SENIOR PARTY On the evening of March 19, 1926, the Senior class held their annual party in the high school gymnasium. A majority of the class were present at this function. The entertainment w'as of a high order. A humorous pantomine depicting an episode of early west during the days of the gold rush was especially enjoyed by the audience. Delicious “eats” were served directly after this entertainment. Music was furnished by a good orchestra and a number of couples danced until late in the evening. When the party at last broke up the unanimous opinion was that a very enjoyable evening had been spent. —Nelly Freed, ’26. FIRST SEMESTER SOPHOMORE PARTY Perhaps no affair of the eventful year appeared more interesting and enjoyable, than the one given November 16, for those Sophomores who are climbing the ladder of fame in the Beaver Falls High School. The guests arrived about 7:30 and went to the handsomely decorated Gym. A splendid program of entertainment was given. Dick 107 Ridgely gave several excellent Xylophone selections. Mary Carpenter d'd many amusing stunts, and Mildred Magee favored with a delicate dance interpretation. There was also a Ukelele Chorus formed to resemble an Indian midnight scene, led by Miss Esther Younggren. Dancing was enjoyed the latter part of the evening with the so-called Collegiate Boys taking their would-be co-eds and departing for home, having reported a wonderful time. —E. M., ’27. SECOND SEMESTER SOPHOMORE PARTY As the hands of the clock drew nigh unto 8 o’clock the noble Sophomores and their guests, Class V, assembled to make merry at a party arranged by the Gods and Goddesses. A play entitled “In a Taxi,” under the Direction of Miss Younggren was portrayed by Dorothy Raymer, Lady of Horses, and Addison Davidson, Man of Many Horns. Xylophone selections by Richard Ridgely, God of Music, were very pleasing. Songs from the String Bean Quartet, representing the people of the Sirens and the Charleston by Herman Snyder, God of Flying Legs and Mystery, added to the entertainment. A feast of the Gods, Demigods, and Athena, of the Golden Wand, added her final touch to the delicious lunch. As the Jazz Orchestra sounded forth their melodious tunes, the light-footed lads and lasses tripped gracefully to and fro. Fefore Dawn, the rosy fingered, drove forth across the heavens, each Sophomore had reached home and Athena, the Goddess of Wisdom had cast sleep upon their eyelids. The Sophomores, bv the will of the Gods, have always proven themselves faithful to their class. Thus the memories of the Sophomore parties are cherished by the Class of ’28. —R. A. G. and A. S., ’28. THE TIGER CUB For the first time in the history of Beaver Falls High School we have been able to publish a school paper. The idea of having a paper had been brought by many interested students but never before had the idea been carried out. The first edition that was issued was on October 2 and the issue was well received by the student body. It was necessary to have a number of extra copies printed to take care of the calls for the paper. During the course of the year a special edition was printed in connection with the Older Boys’ Conference held in Beaver Falls under the supervision of our Hi-Y Club. The staff of the paper included many different kinds of news that was forthcoming during the school year. Club news, basketball games, football and the like received considerable space. A very wide range of exchanges with school papers from all over the United States in which our paper received considerable comment was kept up during the term of the paper. 108 t QQJthe iTger At the start of the second semester, the staff tried to renew the life of the paper, but there seemed to be too much work bothering the minds of the students, so that the Tiger Cub was not edited for the second semester.

Tne purpose of the Club is to advance the honor of the school and to promote and direct sportsmanlike athletics among the girls. The Athletic Club has four ideals which every girl tries to follow. They are: No gossip. Good sportsmanship. Cleanliness in thought, word and deed. Strive for health. A moonlight hike was the first social event held. The girls hiked to Brady’s Run, where they cooked supper and afterwards played games. At the beginning of the second semester, each girl brought a friend into the club, increasing the membership to sixty. A “kids” party was held to initiate the new members. A lunch was served and every one spent a delightful evening.

The club has sponsored a number of tournaments and they have all been a success. 109 The TTgeh The conditions of the courts have greatly handicapped the interest of the same and for this reason the membership has been held down to those who really love the game. This year the school board has promised to put in order two courts for those who have really worked and will work for the furthering of this sport. With the two courts in excellent condition there will evidently be a rush to the courts for the purpose of playing, but remember that those who have worked under the disadvantages of former years will also be there, and an organization of the Tennis Club will be a very helpful thing to join if you like to play tennis. SCIENCE CLUB School had hardly begun till those of scientific mind, began to clamor for an overtime discussion of scientific matters. Their hopes were realized when Mr. Mayers and Mr. Ackley called a meeting for the purpose of organizing a Science Club in our school. A constitution committee headed by William Morrison and a program committee headed by Harold Seyler were elected. After several meetings a constitution was adopted. An election followed and William Morrison was elected president, and Ruth Dunkerley, secretary and treasurer. Many interesting talks were given and a grat amount of knowledge was gleaned by those who listened. COMMERCIAL CLUB The Commercial Club of the Beaver Falls High School was organized in the first semester of the past year. The purpose was to interest commercial students in business and business men and women. Meetings were held monthly at which business men were the speakers and members of the club gave interesting talks. Mr. Williams, chief adviser of the club, helped the members in working ou some very interesting programs. Some of the most interesting talks were given by Mr. Potts, Mr. Januzzi and Mr. Ginsbigler. Officers are elected every semester. Officers for this semester are Marguerite Daquila, who was re-elected president, Bessie Lit-zinger, secretary, and Elizabeth Stoops, treasurer. The Seniors who graduated in January and June will be considered as honorary members, if they so desire. 110 t GIRLS’ ATHLETIC CLUB 111 K IKKMKN FOOTBALL At the close of the 1924 football season, fourteen letter men were on hand for the 1925 season. When the curtain was lifted for the first time in the Fall, two of these men were missing. Henry Lewis had met with a sad and untimely death while swimming, early in the Summer; Dale Lieper had taken up his course of study at Beaver High School. The season as compared with former Tiger football seasons could not be called a successful one. The team was good and showed championship caliber on several occassions. The fellows worked hare' and faithful under the guidance of good coaches. Both coaches and players deserve much praise although they did not come through with the championship. Nine letter men will be missing when the roll is called next Fall. A little more cooperation on the part of students who are able to develop into football players will be appreciated not only by the coaches but by the many loyal supporters of the Beaver Falls Tiger. With six letter men remaining, Capt. Winslow, Nelle, Greco, Wahl, De Buino, Krukenberg and other experienced fellows including Stingle, Wilson, Webster, Hendrikson, Shaubet, Canich and Walton we look forward to a successful season next fall. 113 SEPTEMBER 26, MONACA Beaver Falls won its opening game with Monaca on the High School field by the score of 10-6. Captain Punch Howarth was the big scorer of the game, collecting all ten points, although every other player did his part. This victory gave the Tigers a high rating as the Monaca team was considered one of the strongest in the county.

Brighton had not won from Beaver Falls for a period of some sixteen years but in this game, a determined band of fighters turned the trick.

FOOTBALL LETTER MEN “Punch” Howarth, Captain “Punch” Howarth needs no introduction to the readers of the Tigei He is a real fighter and was one of the mainstays of the Tiger line. Captain Howarth at center was the hub around which the fighting spirit of the team was moulded. He was in every play both on defense and offense. Needless to say “Punch” will be missed next year. Carl “Red” Winslow, Captain Elect “Red,” like Punch, is another all-county player. He is fast on his feet and continually tearing off long end runs. Red was rewarded for his good work by being unanimously elected Captain of next year’s eleven. Albert “Red” Seaburn “Red,” our big fullback, played his third and last year as a varsity man. Time and time Red plunged through the opponent’s line for gains and often for touchdowns. “Al” will be lost through graduation this year. “Clarence “Kay” Smith “Kay” has played quarter-back for the past two years, being-shifted over from half. “Smithy” is a three year letter man. He graduates this spring and will leave a gap in the backfield which will be hard to fill. 119 The IfGEn John Wahl John is only a Sophomore and already has two years of football. He has two more years to play ahead and we expect great things of Johnnie. “John “Buck” Nelle “Buck” Nelle, the fighting halfback, was in every game, giving his best. He has two more big years of football ahead. George Reed Reed who has earned great fame on the track proved he was no slouch at football. Breaking up play after play he has developed into a wonderful end. He will graduate this spring. Dan De Buino “Danny” “Danny” the little freshman fought hard in every game. Anyone who watched Dan in the Ell wood game would put in a good word for him. “James Greco “Posey” “Posey” won his letter this year after nursing an injured leg for more than a month after the season started. Jim certainly deserves credit for his strong comeback. We expect to see him a regular on Heck’s eleven next fall. Win. Thomas “Bill” “Bill” played his second year of football alternating at quarter. What Bill lacks in weight he makes up in brains and speed. He is another football player to graduate this spring. C'arl Walters “Hutz” “Hutz” graduated in January and his tackle position will be hard to fill. He is a real scrapper, going into every play with the fight than won him fame. Gerard Sakraida “Gerry” “Gerry” played his second year on the varsity. He is a valuable lineman always a barrier to the opposition. Zigmond OIczak “Ziggy” A hard fighter, deserving lots of praise. Ziggy was always in the midst of the fight. He too graduated in January. William Ramella “Bill” Bill after being injured last season returned this year and won a berth on the team. He has left school but we hope he’ll be able to return. Harry Krukenberg “Peck” “Peck,” a linesman, was a big asset to the team of ’25. He will be with us again next fall.

TKAM The IfGEn BASKETBALL At the first call for basketball practice Coach Heckathorne was greeted with so many candidates that he was compelled to have two new baskets erected in our gym. With four lettermen back from last year’s team, it looked like another championship for Beaver Falls. The team got off to a bad start and lost three league games. Every team has its tough breaks and Beaver Falls experienced its through sickness. Staging a comeback the Tigers started with New Brighton and defeated every team in the section at least once without tasting defeat until the second New Castle game at New Castle which was lost after a bitter fight. A run of twelve successive victories was hung up proving that Beaver Falls was as good as any team in the section. At the end of the season Beaver Falls was tied for second place with Ellwood. The season as a whole was very successful; but six games were lost out of some twenty-three played. A total of 606 points were piled up against 438 for our opponents. 123 DUQUESNE The Tigers opened their season slightly upsetting the dope by trouncing Duquesne High on the latter’s floor by a 23-17 score. Johnny Farthing played one of the best games of his carreer on the defense as well as leading the Tiger scorers with a quartet of field goals. Minnich and Kowallio always threatened for Duquesne. B.

The appearance of the oldtime stars attracted great attention. J. McCandless, Brucie, Hiddleson, Montani, H. Mc-Candless, Merriman, Brown, McLean, and Chuck Howell broke into the game.

Beaver Falls’ offensive was working fine and was successful in many baskets. The defense work of Farthing and Greco was commendable.

Due to the illness of two players, the team was in poor condition. Laying aside all alibies Harr’s five deserves much praise for defeating the Tigers on their own floor. Howarth led the scoring for Beaver Falls while Greco deserves mention for holding his forward scoreless. Harris and McDonald played best for the visitors. Beaver Falls H. S. 14 Woodlawn H.

ELL WOOD CITY Ellwood came to Beaver Falls leading the league; their team was the biggest in the league, our team looking like midgets compared to them. Ellwood set the pace the entire game and up until the last few minutes were ahead but the Tiger spirit of Beaver Falls tied up the game only to have Hennon, star forward of Ellwood, put the game on ice for Ellwood. This was one of the hardest and cleanest fought games seen on this floor. The hard playing of Howarth featured for Beaver Falls while the entire team played well for Ellwood. Beaver Falls H.

Before the game, Beaver Falls was not conceded a chance to win being, being the underdogs. It looked like a walkaway for the Crimson and Gold team, after leading the Tigers the first half by the score of 14 to 11. When the second half opened the Tiger team played like the team of old and completely vanquished the Crimson team. The playing of Stingle was the feature of the game, his floor work and playing reminded one of Whitey Littell although the entire Beaver Falls team should be given credit for then-victory.

The game was fast throughout, Beaver showing real basketball. Dale Leiper, former Beaver Falls athlete, was injured in the contest but remained in the game. The entire Beaver Falls team worked well. Farthing, besides playing a bang-up of a game at guard, rolled in three pretty field goals. Irons and Chambon looked good for Beaver. Beaver Falls H. S. Beaver H. S.

The crowd was the largest that attended a game up to that date. Again Beaver Falls entered the game as the underdog but the Tiger spirit which our team displayed throughout the game overcame all the odds. The game was fast and interesting with the Tigers setting the pace, although the game was in doubt up to the last minute. Beaver Falls won out in the end to the tune of 27-24. The playing of Balph was spectacular and he was ably helped by Stingle. The guarding of Howarth, Walter and Farthing was little short of sensational. Day featured for New Castle. Beaver Falls H.

Our team fighting with the same Tiger spirit succeeded in rolling up the largest score of the year, completely overwhelming the Ambridge team 41 to 18. The playing of Howarth, Stingle and Farthing was of the highest type while Greco and Balph put up their usual high type of good playing. Beaver Falls H. S. 41 Ambridge H.

They did succeed in holding the Tigers to a lower score than at Monaca. The guarding of Farthing and Greco was fine, and as a result Monaca tallied only twice from the field. Clarke succeeded in getting both of these. The entire Beaver FaPs team played well. Balphie was on and rolled in a total of seven field goals, scoring 17 of our points.

ROCHESTER “Revenge is Sweet” was the thought that ran through the Tiger’s mind after defeating Rochester on the local floor 29 to 20. Although Rochester had not won so many games, they never failed to giv Beaver Falls a stubborn battle. Greco and Farthing played a nice game at guard. Moran and DeVinney looked good for the visitors. Howarth and Balph were the main factors in the Beaver Falls scoring. Beaver Falls H. S. Rochester H. S.

FREEDOM Freedom came to Beaver Falls with hopes of giving the Tigers a setback but their hopes were blasted when the Tigers after a poor start made a spectacular finish and as a result the Oiltowners were on the short end of a 32-15 score. The game was interesting am rough at times, especially when our subs were injected into the game Stingle, Howarth and Farthing featured for Beaver Falls. Corbetl Wilson and Seaburn showed promise of becoming basketball stars. 130 WOODLAWN Beaver Falls went lown to Woodlawn in hopes of avenging a defeat given to them earlier in the season. The game was hard fought and as the result there was little scoring done by either side, but the Beaver Falls boys clearly showed that they had the better team and won by a score of 14 to 7. Stingle led the Tigers in scoring, closely followed by Balph. The guarding of Greco, who held his man scoreless, and was instrumental in stopping all the Woodlawn plays, stood out. Beaver Falls H.

NEW BRIGHTON AT HOME A wild crowd of nearly two thousand people lined the High School gym to witness the second great clash of the ancient rivals, Beaver Falls and New Brighton. The game was fast and exciting, the first half ending 8 to 8. Balph and Mentz had been the big scorers. The TTgeh m The beginning of the third canto found Beaver Falls starting a barrage of baskets that swept the Crimson team entirely off the floor. Howarth, Stingle and Farthing led the Tiger attack. ’ Johnson succeeded in caging two neat goals for the visitors. No Tiger player can be called the star of the game, they were all stars. Johnnie Farthing deserves special mention for his feat of holding Hecker to one lone point while the Beaver Falls guard rolled in three baskets. Mentz and Johnson showed up best for New Brighton. Greco’s guarding was also commendable. The entire Tiger wrecking crew took charge of the game for a few minutes and continued the varsity’s good work. Beaver Falls H. S. New Brighton H. S.

NEW CASTLE After a string of twelve straight victories, Beaver Falls traveled to New Castle only to be defeated 37-30 after a stubborn battle. The game see-sawed back and forth for three periods until New Castle finally forged ahead. The victory gave New Castle the undisputed championship of Section III with only one defeat and that was handed to them by Beaver Falls some weeks ago. Friedman and Day led the New Castle offense. For Beaver Falls, Punch Howarth was the real star. He played rings around Robinson, the big New Castle center and scored a total of 17 points. Punch put up his best game of the season and clearly showed the fans that he earned his all-sectional position at Center. Punch was ably assisted by Balph and Stingle while the guarding of Farthing and Greco should not go unmentioned. Beaver Falls H. S. New Castle H. S. Stingle F. Friedman Balph Howarth _ _ F. . C.

It was a free scoring contest because of the large floor. The game was never in doubt, Beaver Falls clearly showing its superiority. Howarth led the Tigers in scoring, although every man on the first team scored at least one field goal. Beaver Falls H. S. Ambridge H. S. Balph_____________________________F------------------------R.

BASKETBALL LETTER MEN Captain Robert Stengle (Casey) “Casey” completed his second year on the varsity. He is not much for size, but size doesn’t seem to be a handicap for Bob. He is a good floor man, passer, dribbler, and a good, shot at the basket. Casey will be back again next year, we know he will make good again. “Casey” has established a record for not missing a practice since he has started his basketball career. Harold (Punch) Howarth Holding down the pivot position for two years and winning a berth on the all-county team both years, is just some more of Punch’s accomplishments during his stay in school. He was continually giving shots to the forwards when he could have taken them himself. Punch will be sorely missed next year. John Farthing (Johnnie) Johnnie was the only Tiger player to be mentioned on the all W. P. I. A. L. team. He won a guard position on the second team, which is indeed a great honor. To see Johnnie dribble the whole length of the floor and drop the ball through the hoop was not an uncommon sight. Johnnie graduates this spring and will leave a guard vacancy to be filled next year. 134 The TfGEn James Greco (Posey) Posey played his first year as a regular and certainly played it in Mne style. Jim won the only position that was left open from last year. He is a fine defensive player. Time after time his opponent held scoreless. Jim will be back again next year and he tingle will form the nucleus around which Heck will p. ob bly build his team. Jack Bulph (Balphie) This year Balphie was the teams leading scorer, and he rightfully rates the title. Time and again when other members of the team would fail to score, Jack would come through with a long shot. His value as a shot, dribbler and passer, is inestimatable. In many cases he was chosen as an all-county forward. His college career will be watched with interest. Charles Corbetl (Chuck) “Chuck”, a substitute, was well able to take care of either of the forward positions when called on. He is a real fighter and we look for him to be a regular next year. Paul Wilson (Beans) “Beans” showed that he could get into the closest games without slowing up the Tiger team. He can be used at center or at guard position. He will also be back again next year. John Seaburn John was used as a guard substitute. He is good on defense as well as on offense. We expect to hear more from John next year. George Reed George, a substitute forward, showed up good when he was needed in the lineup. George has won letters in football, track and basketball, having earned the distinction of being a three-letter man. Carl Walters (Hutz) The team had the misfortune of losing a valuable guard at midyear graduation. Hutz was holding down a regular berth when he had to leave us. He was a stonewall on defense and a good shot from mid-floor. (). H. Heckathorne (Heck) The basketball season would not well be passed up without a few words for the coach. He has worked so hard with the fellows, night after night, drilling clean sportsmanship into the boys. To coach a winning basketball team such as Beaver Falls enjoys year after year, unassisted, is not an easy task. Heck well deserves all the credit he is given. 135 The TfGEP BEAVER FALLS Beaver Falls 33-Beaver Falls 14 Beaver Falls 39 Beaver Falls 14 Beaver Falls 17-Beaver Falls 25-Beaver Falls 30.

They lost only four of their sixteen games, yet they gained only fourth place in the county. The team was under the coaching of Miss Eckert and the losses were not due to any one person. Norma Heinrich was elected captain and she helped to bring her team to victory many times when the outcome was doubtful. Letters were received by the girls and those who are not graduating are looking forward to next year’s season with pleasure. JANUARY 1, 1925—ALUMNI Beaver Falls girls defeated the Alumni very easily in the opening game. Sakraida and Grossglass were the stars of the game. The defense of Heinrich and Christy were good, to say the least. The final score was 23-7. B. F. H.

The score doesn’t indicate the gam at all. In the first half, Rochester was ahead but the girls came through in the second half. Julia Christy was certainly guarding her “man” that nite.

She was upt into the game about the third quarter, when the score stood 18-7 in favor of Freedom. Immediately she found the basket for she dropped in eight field goals; one right after the other, and one foul. During this time Freedom had dropped one in here and there and had one basket to their advantage and about two minutes to play. Sakraida, who was substituted for Miller, took the ball from the center of the court, passed it to Ross and the score was tied. Two seconds later the game was over. The tie was not played off. B. F.

Grossglass made three field goals and one foul, but it was the team work that brought the girls through. Sakraida at side center was a decided match for Schwartz, her oppenent. She may be said to have the edge on her for she always just a little bit quicker than the New Brighton lassie. The defense was impenetrable. The girls should be given much credit for this victory as this is the first time in years that the New Brighton girls have been defeated on their own floor. Also it is very remarkable that the girls from across the river did not score a field goal. B. F. H. S, 12 New Brighton 3 Sakraida__________________________F__ Grossglass________________________F._.

Ross put in 3 baskets while Wright dropped one in. Grossglass and Hemminger were lost at this time (lue to graduation, but the change in the lineup brought success anyway.

C------------------------Woodin Stevenson__________________________G__________________________Frey Christy--------------------------- G_________________________Evans Norma Heinrich, Captain Norma Heinrich, better known as “Heinie”, was elected captain of the Beaver Falls High School Girls’ Basketball Team. “Heinie” u-S uGn a mem er °f the varsity for three years, and well deserves this honor. She was considered one of the best guards of the county, and we always find her sticking to her “man.” She has played at different positions, but her glory goes with the guarding position. Norma is a member of Class VII and it is not likely that she wil be out next year for her regular berth, but we believe that there will not be a better guard in and on the team for a while, yet to come. 144 Clara Sakraida “Clay” is a very valuable and popular member of the team. She has been a regular on the varsity for the past two years and will be missed greatly. This year she started as forward, but was found be or more value in the sicie-eenter position. She was one of the quickest and best players of the team. Clara graduates with the June division of this year. In the early part of the season she became ill of diphtheria and was therefore missing from the lineup. We cannot praise this player too much for she surely kept the team going. Isabel Ehrenberg “Skcogy” wan one of the girls who held a berth on the varsity '•-r pnjsf three years. She was very consistent in her scoring ability and therefore very valuable. Her best scoring came through r • 1' Ithough she made quite a few baskets She also graduates w'th the J”ne division and will not be playing High School basketball ; :r: . ore, although we expect to see her on some Independent team. Julia Christ ' Julia played the positions of guard and center at every other game. At guarding she could not be much better for her long arms d her bod e would shoot up in the air and get the ball before her opponent could get it. At center she always got the jump, another result of her tallness. More than likely she will not be out for this sport next year as she will graduate in the January division but she will be missed for her alround good playing. Rosalie Stevenson Rrralie in another one of the girls who will graduate this June. She was p verv va!uable member of the team, being capable of play-in mmrd and side-center with equal ability. She was very quick and could break up the greater part of her opponents’ dribbles. She b another person we expect to find playing on an independent team, for her quickness is hard to surpass. Adeline Ross A delme showed her ability in a1 most all of the games in which she played. She will he in the school for a couple of years yet and it is possible that she will improve with the coming seasons. She made p great manv of the team’s points, but if she plays for the next —wrs she will be making progress in that line the whole way Hr'ough. 145 Dorothy Miller Dot is another of the girls who will be eligible for the team next She has played on v.he varsity for only one year, but will probably advance as time goes on. We certainly wish her success-in her work next year, for the team knows her value and how she will be missed if she does not go out for the sport next year. Corrinne Hemminger and Ella Mae Grossglass graduated in the January division. Not much can be said on account of this for them, but they were of a great deal of assistance while they were on the team. Hemminger surely played her game a center, while we cannot say a thing against Grossy fcr she surely showed her ability to find the basket. Last of all comes the subs. They surely are one jolly group and many of them ought to be next year’s first string men. Among the leaders we find McClure, Wright, Timm, Latto, Hutzley, Magee and Januzzi. All of these girls are eligible for next year and will more than likely make it. Each of the above mentioned have shown their ability at their own positions and have proven themselves of value. 146 TRACK AND FIELD Opening its track season at the Westminster College meet, held at New Wilmington and closing it by sending the crack relay team to the State meet at Bucknell, the Beaver Falls High School track team enjoyed on' of the most successful seasons it has ever had. The teams greatest hopes were with the star mile relay team, which entered five meets and won a first in each, except the State meet, where they were awarded thrid in the championship medley race, and the New Wilmington meet, in which they were second to New Castle The quartet was composed of Smith, as lead-off man, Corbett, Wilson and Reed. In addition to their fine showing in the relay races, the various members of the team showed up well in other events which they entered. Reed in the half mile, and Corbett in the low hurdles, were especially good. Seaburn also showed up well in the pole value and Taylor in the discus. The ch'max of the season came in the county meet. With Beaver Falls, Beaver and New Brighton running a close race for first place. The Tiger squad forged into the lead by winning the relev and led Reaver and New Brighton with the final score standing 48, 43 and 41. So far this year the team seems to be as good as last. The relay team, composed of nearly the same men as last year, is decidedly stronger After winning their event at the Penn Relavs, held in Philadelphia, they came through with first place in the New Wilmington meet. The Philadelnhin team was composed of C. Corbett, Abmlmms, .T. Corbett and Reed, while the Wilmington race was run by C. Corbett, Wilson, J. Corbett and Reed. At the last named meet, C. Corbett lowered his own record in the low hurdle race and established a track record at that place. The relay team also holds a record. The Beaver Falls team also competed in the Tech meet, W. P. I. A. L meet and the county meet. The team this year is captained by George Reed, a veteran of three seasons. With good material and good coaching, Reed expects his charges to do everything of which they are capable. 150 m The IfGED Mr. Graham: “Can you tell me what makes the tower of Pisa lean ?” “Fat” Steele: “If I knew I would take some myself.” n. f. ii. s. •‘Rob” Paik: “Do you love me?” Ruth Dunkerly: “No, the reason I talk this way is because 1 have a cold.” B.

A driving the car full o’ kids is the thing, That always occurs with the coinin’ o’ spring. There’s something about it that gets in the blood, ‘Specially when the air’s full o’ pep and the road’s full o’ mud. But, shucks, it’s real fun to be flirtin’ wi’ luck And trust to the Muses that the car don’t get stuck. You see little by-ways where traffic is thin, As you clatter along in your bundle of tin. You’re drivin’ the family and oughta be glad, In spite o’ the fact that they’re drivin’ ya mad. The wife tells you this and the kids tell you that; No wonder you never krow just where you’re at. They call you the “Driver”—that’s just a wise crack Cause, really the driver is always sittin’ in back. The man at the wheel has my sympathy any day, He drives a lot, but he has very little to say, Its fun to go touring; its pleasant to roam, But, shucks, for the driver, its fun to get home.

It can fret you a lot, but you won’t get a bit, If the stuff you’ve got Ml never make you quit.. You can’t quite expect every thought that’s bent, To bring forth results of a hundred percent. Some things, undertaken, fall shy now and then, But, remember, old top, you can always try again. The fellow who figures and plans all day, And sticks to his task in his own sweet way, Can feel fairly sure that he’ll reach the top, When setbacks and such never make him stop. The easiest way is to give right in— That is, if you never expect to win, But the better way, when the going’s rough, Is to plug on through—An’ show your stuff!” Alexander S.
