THE TATTLER i M p Svrninr. 0112155 ilpininrg. One fbright morning in September, nineteen six, a class of boys and girls entered BraddockHigh School, a class destined ,to make all the world wonder at tiheir ready wit, alertness, and -last but not least by their studiousness. Tlhe mindis eye, undimmed by lapse of time, clearly pictures our triumphal entry into .the study hall. VVe were at first actually frightened by the size -of the room and the gaze of so many curious orbs. Nothing daunting our valiant band, we s-oon became so accu-stomed to the n-ew work and studied so hard that we never knew- wihether there was a teacher in the study hall -or not. Wfe quickly got busy and raised our flag, wanting to get a little snatch of college life. 'Tlhe rush which ensued gave us an opportunity of showing our grit and strength. The boys' took more part in this than the girls, but .the fair sex made up for their lack of muscular energy in a more subtle and 'deadly way. ' They served a banquet to the Seniors and the Faculty which shall never be forgotten. The mouths of the Faculty wat-er to tihis day, when they think of those most delicious dreams of culinary craft prepared by the skillful hands of the girls of nineteen ten. Our heads greatly increased in size when the title of Sophomore was added to our names. Wfe were so lbig feeling that we were no longer content with the common- place, but unfurled our iiag on the very pinnacle of tihei building. Fearing the Hag would be harmed Mr. Mort-on re-scued it from its perilous position and saved any of us getting hurt or causing bad feelings among the classes. , The size of the school having increased the juniors and Seniors were crowded out o-f room F. Here we, as Juniors, enjoyed' the same privileges as the Seniors, indeedj quite an hon-or. The Sister Class did not have much love for us when elections for literary society were held. The way we nominated and elected Juniors to ill Uhe of- fices was beyond the conception -of their pondefrous brains., Wfe were very sorry to incur their anger, so in order to apease the wrath of the goddesses' we gave an elaboratelbanquet in their honor. The Carnegie Banquet Hall for once was re- splendent with wit and humor. The expressions of joy over the delights of that bouniteous feast were only surpassed by te patent gratitude ofthe Graduates. Their friendsnhip was ours h-enceforth ,and forevermore. The class of nineteen ten has great dramatic ability which needs only a little training to evolve theatrical stars -of the first magnitude, actors and actresses who will be capable of any Shakespearian production. The sketch given by the juniors in the Open Literary meeting of last year will truly verify the statement. . ' Starting out our high school life with a class of fifty-seven brilliant students we are sorry to say we number now 'but nineteen. Tlhese we sincerely believe will be the best of which Braddock High School can boast. Wfith hve stalwart men to help C?j us we are putting out this Tattler, which we kno-w will be the best and greatest that 'will be edited in many years by a'Senior Class. Wfe are standing. fast to our motto, Age quod Agis, Finish what you att-emp.t,', and that is the secret of our success. VVe will leave you to peruse the pages of our sacred book at your leisure, and hope you may find tlherein many things worthy of our great name. . pq v Q GRACE cURT1s,'1o. i
