Cherished memories are becoming obliterated by new factors of our existence, and the old pranks of school routine are being supplanted by new ones as each new enroll- ment is taken. It is natural and best that each class should have memories that will so entwine themselves around their school life as to make them a distinct and independent group of persons. lt is not our purpose to dwell upon these class individualities to any great extent: but to bring forth memories that should ever be held by those who received a part of their training in our little village. Could we but bring back our sons and daughters who -have gone forth from our circles, the walls of our building would fairly ring with the eloquence of those who have made, or are making themselves famous and at the same time are heaping laurels upon the school. The school had its beginning early in the nineteenth century, but we shall make our beginning with the year 1891. In 1888 the school became housed in the new building, and three teachers were employed. The school was then but an elementary school, consisting of the primary, intermediate, and grammar departments. llut in 1891 Prof. J. E. Scamahorn, seeing the need of higher edu- cation, offered a course in the higher branches. However. the fruit from this new department were not realized until four years later, when a graduating class of two was put forth. The school Hourished for a short time, but though it fiourished, it was not classified until in the year 1902. when, due to the efforts of Prof. XV. 1. Everson, the walls were adorned with a TH1Rn GRADE Charter. Shortly after this, owing to the enticements and allurements thrown out by the llingo Junction and Steubenville High Schools, our school began to decrease in numbers. Q Thus when Prof. H. C. Fouch took charge of affairs he found a lack of interest, and. strive though he would, he could not get the pupils to give up the idea of the city school. - Prof. XY. ll. Logan was also confronted by the same circumstances, and. like his predecessor. was unable to check the rush from home. Prof. R. K. Shoolroy was next to try his hand at the wheel, and with three in the high school promised much. llut after three months of service he was taken very sick and it devolved upon Prof. james L. Doran to Hnish his term. During all this time our lloard of Education maintained the High School as best they could, giving no heed to those who were leaving, but giving all its time to those who chose to remain at home. At last the craze for the city school began to die out. and when the school opened in the fall of 1914 there were four- teen pupils enrolled in the High School. Since then three have dropped out, but two have been added. Thus. you see, we are gradually gaining ground, and that the school may flourish in the years to come, is the wish of all.

Wilkiiisoli .XLICE M. ALVEY. .-Xlice was born in Brilliant, where she has always resided. She has received ber entire training in our little village, and we are justly proud of her. She is one of our most persevering young people, so we ex- pect great things of her in the future. VVe give her our best wishes as she goes forth to Mingo junction to take up the High School work there. ULDENE VERMILLION. Uldene was born in Smirhtield, Ohio, and has been in school both there and at Brilliant. She is a social favorite in and about Brilliant: the girls say it is be- cause she is not so well known as they who have spent all their life about our little town. The boys, however, claim to have a different reason. At any rate she ought to be well known, but if you are not so fortunate as to know her, call in person at the postotiice for your mail, and you will meet her in the person of the postoftice clerk. She entered Mingo Junction High School in September to complete her lirst grade education. ROBERT R.i FAULKNER. Robert, better known as Dick or Bush, was born at lfVarren, lnd. For a while he attended school at that place and later came to Brilliant: from here he went to Mingo, but later returned to us. He is ot' an athletic nature and a jovial companion, as he can create enough amusement to arouse all his associates in a very short time. Let those of us who have known him in school remember him as: Robert Xvilmuth Richard Edward Bushnell Faulkner, and that barring none he is our lightweight pugilistic champion. EMMA E. HALL. Emma was born at Rush Run, Ohio, where she still resides. She attended school at Blues Run, Rush Run, and Brilliant. For four years she has been a teacher, having given her services for four mouths at Connor- ville, and four at Turkey Point, and three years at Rush Run. She is teaching this year at Hopewell. 'sr 1 Gllaaa Liiatnrg N THE autumn of 1913 the choice material of all llrilliaut gathered at the school house to take up the studies of a secondary curriculum. This class consisted of but two members, Alice Alvey and Jessie Cope. The class early promised great things and so eagerly did they apply themselves toward the accomplishment of these promises that our beloved teacher, Mr. R. li. Shoolroy, was unable to stand the strain, and as the third school month drew to a close, hc was compelled to resign his position and take treatment for his health. Mr. James L. Doran was the11 called to take charge of us, and so much infatuated with the pupils was he that he held school over until the middle of June in order that he might not be compelled to part with us for so long a time during the summer vacation. . Wlithin the time of our stay many humorous incidents occurred, among which permit us to mention the time Alice .-Xlvey was imprisoned in the basement and the remainder of the pupils sat upon the door and cracked jokes. ln a short time, however, Mr. Doran came to the window and was just about to empty a pail of water when he happened to notice the pupils assembled beneath, so he gave the warning of Lookout Below! whereupon the pupils dispersed. Mr. Doran then proceeded to empty the contents of the pail. but just as the column of water had in its descent about reached the door. Alice became aware of the fact that she might make her exit from the basement, so she raised the door and stepped forth into such a deluge as she had never known before. Another incident of this year that perhaps we should remember was that Jessie Cope became a nurse to the injuries received by Mr. Doran as a result of his awkwardness. How she did administer to the wound received that second morning he was in our midst no one but he himself can tell. How grateful he was to his beneficiary no tongue could tell. llut the injuries had their mission in his life, for he has learned the lesson that running after a street car is like run- ning after a girl-you might as well wait, for there will be another along in a few minutes. It was also during this year that Frank Derenberg was seen walking down the street, and not fifty yards behind him Jessie was seen running, unconscious of whom she was following, or that she was following anyone. One of her schoolmates. seeing this amusing incident, called to 'her and asked where she was going, whereupon she replied that she was chasing an algebra book. However she may have meant the expression, we know that it has become true just as it sounded. for as the term drew to a close she showed she was able to 'icopen with the situation and consequently chose to discontinue 'her school work and married the gentleman she was pursuing. As the school reassembled in the fall of 1914. Robert Faulkner returned from Mingo to resume the work at llrilliant. for he had learned that the only reason the pupils went from our midst was for the showing they thought it made to attend a city school. Harry Cox. who had attended school with the Class of l9l3g Ffmma lflall, who had formerly been a member of the class of 1910, and Uldene Yermillion, who came to us from Smithfield, made the Class of 1915. But before school had closed Harry Cox had dropped from our ranks in order that he might accept a position at XYeirton, XV. Va. Thus but four remained to go down in history as the class that did thingsfl For this was the first class that had made the physical geography and agricultural field trips, having made three trips of this nature, it was during the history of this class that the piano and library were installed, this was the first class that had the honor of being entertained by the Alumni, a sym- bol of the recognition given their extraordinary efforts, and, last of all, this was the class that had conceived of the idea of publishing an annual. Thus far we have put our motto of Either Find a l'ath or Make One to practical application, and it is the desire of each member of the class that this same motto may Gnd a practical application in the life of each individual. 0112155 rnphrrg 7 HILE walking alone through a wood, musing on the past, and wonder- XN' ing what the future might holcl ini store for each member of our class, suddenly a beautiful goddess appeared beside me. saying, Lol I am a prophet. I have come in answer to your musing. Come, I will let you peer into the future. I looked down the long vista of time. At first all was in- clistinct, but objects and people gradually began to take shape before my eyes. I saw myself seated in a large theater in London, awaiting the rising of the curtain. At length the curtain rose, and the prima donna of the world ap- peared upon the stage, and delighted the large audience with her singing. She was encored again and again. It was revealed by the prophet a little later that this prima donna was none other than Uldene Vermillion. After graduating from Brilliant High School, she went to Boston Conservatory and began the study of vocal musicg from there she went to Heidelberg, and thus was produced one of the world's geratest singers. This vision seemed to fade from my sight, and another took its place. This time I saw myself seated in a large auditorium in Chicago. After waiting aishort time, a dignified lady, with brown hair streaked with gray, came upon the stage and addressed the audience on XVoman's Rights. She gave a very learned address upon the subject, but s-he failed to tell how her husband must care for the home and the children while she was lecturing. Toward the close of the lee- ture I recognized in her Mrs. Asteth, nee Alice Alvey. , Again this vision faded and another took its place. I saw myself watch- ing the crowds hurrying along the streets of New York City. One of the pas! sersby attracted my attention. Turning to the prophet, I said, XVho is that tall, distinguished-looking man ? The reply was this: IV hy that is Robert Faulk- ner, of the Class of 1915. After graduating from Brilliant High School, he went to the Medical College at Baltimore, then to Vienna. He is today one of our most noted physiciansf, Thus we see him going on through life. perfumed with asafetida, giving pills and powders to all who are ailing. Once more the vision faded and another took its place. l beheld a school- house in Florida. On looking closer I beheld an old, gray-haired teacher sitting at the desk, busy with her work. From her appearance she had grown ol:l-maid- ish in the profession. Turning again to the prophet, I said, I see nothing inter- esting here. Wfhat does this scene mean ? The prophet answered thus: Do you not see in yonder teacher the likeness of yourself? ,lt seems to have been decreed that you must teach other people's children till the end of time. Then this vision faded, and no more took its place as I continued my walk through the wood, rejoicing in the fact that I alone 'had been permitted to peer into that future that awaited each member of the Class of 1915. EMMA lll.x1,L. Hilhnla zmh Zlhvala' HE average man in the street will not hesitate to tell you that we are the greatest people a11d ours the greatest country in the entire world. XN'e, as Americans, are immensely proudnof ourselves 1- we are proud of our prowess in war, of our natural equipment as a nation, and the limitless resources which God in His mercy has given us. We realize that we occupy the center of the world's stage, ours is not the complacency of mediocrity. but of success. To- day it is to a tune we are playing that the world is marching. XVe areboasters who make good our boasts. Gfttimes we sing our own praises with more enthu- siasm than good taste, but despite this fact our pride is so true that criticism loses more than half its point. Ive have self-confidence. and that. based on reason and optimism, can hardly prove disastrous to the nation. But like most great virile national characteristics, it is the source of some evils which can and should be attacked. . Infatuated with the theory of our greatness, we as individuals are indif- ferent to the abuses that do not closely concern us. and slow to take action against those that do. This is the chance given for reformers and exposers to arise and point out the gulf of ruin yawning for us, but generally, the average citizen, secure i11 his belief of his country's greatness, heeds them not. VVhat is tl1e true test of a uatiou's greatness? Is it wealth? Of course, in some measure, for wealth makes possible churches. schools and hospitals. as well as parvenues. undemocratic castes, and asinine ostentation. Is it power and prestige among the nations? Undoubtedly. for power breeds self-respect and responsibility as well as selfishness and greed. Is it the general well-being? Indeed, yes! For the welfare of the citizen is necessary to the permanency of the state. But is there not still something else? Is this out- cry against commercialism and That Almighty Dollar all bosh? The worn out notion of old fogies, who are out of step with our civilization. and blind to the greatness of our success and triumphs? Or does it COHIQ from incompetents 1 l and failures, who would solace themselves with the delusion that they cherish a more tender conscience than their prosperous fellow-men? Wie will find wher- ever we go the worship of Umaterial success. Its temples rise on every side. This is no mere fancy, the evidence can be found in whatever way we turn. Cities are run 'iwide-open, with all that that phrase implies of vice and shame, because it helps business and swells the stream of revenue. Rivals in business light Teach other with all the cunning and ferocity that they can muster up. They pay absolutely no attention to the Golden Rule: their Golilen Rule is Do others before they have a chance to do you. If truth does not tit in. they just tell a little lie and consider it perfectly all right. Everywhere 'illusiness is Business. Apparently ethics and business have no connection whatever. lVhen the business man has won a competency, what then? Surely he will soon be waving again the Hag of high ideals, and hearken back once more to the spirit of the Golden Rule. But we do not realize how hard this will beg old habits are hard to break, and so, gold and the power it brings is the Idol, and greed is the dominant principle. The Scriptures say, Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's. And so these sacrifices are laid upon the altars of the goddess, and the gold is gathered in. Surely this is not the rule of Christ? No! lt is simply modern philosophyg they seem to think: Be strong and masterful, be honest as you can, and 'Succeed !' Perhaps many of you think this makes all men ambitious rascals, but this is not so. All those within the temples are not worshipers. In the crowd you will find many goodly persons: those who thinkg yes, those who know they will win success. but not through tricking and vice. They will not bow down to gain success at the price of their ideals. To them the temples are shrines of honor and sacred trust. Golden Rule Jones of Toledo was one of these. VVoodrow Wlilson is another. The moralist need not despair. VVe have still many citizens who arc mczz. But let us not deceive ourselves, although we may regret the facts, they arc here. If we look the situation squarely in the face, we are forced to admit that the men of high ideals are not in the majority. 'What is to be done? How shall this theory, Success at any cost, be abated. Q Wlhatevcr change comes, must come through the realization by individual men and women that ideals are distinctly worth while, and if the nation is to pro- gress morally. as well as materially, it is of vital moment that our future leaders understand this truth, W'here can this best be taught? There is no better place than our present day schools. These schools can, and are teachers of High ldealsf' Throughout the land the fight for purer govermnent is being led by edu- cated men. fln every comnuinity they belong to the moral aristocrats. They are those in whom idols have not displaced ideals.. Let us then learn to believe. yes. learn to know, that the pocketbook is not the symbol of our national devotion, nor the dollar-mark the seal of our greatness. Z-Xgrirnlinrv anh Elia 1 ffvrta iipnn Gliuiliz-Minn GRICULTURE is one of the oldest sciences in the world. Long before history was written, in wl1at is known as the Old Stone Age, people raised crops, as their rude implements and pictures carved in stone in- dicate. Egypt, we are told in Bible history, raised not only enough corn for its own people, but supplied the surrounding country with grain. liecause of this pursuit Egypt became the first in rank of the civilized nations of antiquity. And because of the decline of this profession, due to the fact that the agricultural class was held inferior to the other classes, Egypt, under the reign of Necho, fell under the power of llabylon. another nation which owed its prowess to the fact that she too was an agricultural country. Egypt had greater fertility, but it was restricted to narrow boundaries: liabylon had wider domains and a larger ann more warlike population, and consequently waxed great while the declining ener- gies of the Egyptians wasted to feeblencss and extinction. The Romans at first were farmers. No other ancient people were so strongly attached to the rural life. Throughout the whole history of the King- dom, Republic and Empire the old rustic disposition asserted itself among the Roman people. The most dissolute of the emperors retained the ancient instinc- tive preferencc for country residences. Citizens, poets. statesmen-all looked forward with pleasure to an escape from the broils and heat of the city to a cooler, quieter life in some remote spot by the Alban or Sabine Hills. As the Republic of Rome assumed imperial proportions, there was esti- mated to be within the city half a million of idlers. These represented all classes of society-from the Patrician fop to the ragged loafer, from the granddaughter and nieces of the Emperor to the courtesians of poverty This vast throng hur-- ried from end to end of the city, seeking for something that should amuse or per- haps satisfy the unappeasable hunger of the idle. Perhaps no other city of the world has ever presented so vast a throng of protitless humanity-such a sea with its tides and storms. In the old 'hardy Rome of the early Republic the slaves were not numer- ous. The ancient Roman, even of the highest rank. was himself a laborer. Wfar, however, brought in its captives, and servile labor was substituted for free. Wfith this extra force in the field, our former freemen increased the rush to the city, and there both by day and by night wickedness and crime brought forth their progeny. The moral standard of ancient Rome began to recede and with it comes the physical degeneracy: so that when Attila and his band of barbarous invaders came in from the North. Rome fell a victim to her agricultural neigh- bor: her crops were ravaged and her villages burned, and in a very short time this once most powerful nation faded into a mere shadow of her former strength. Again let us cite the overtiowing of Spain by the iilohammedans in the eighth century., These newcomers were respectable, law-abiding citizens, who built homes and took up farming. Agriculture was their fort. The effect these new people 'had on Spain can be readily seen, for that nation rapidly rose from almost obscurity to the most powerful kingdom of Europe. lint when, in 1492, King Ferdinand drove them from his domains that country began rapidly to decline. Even our own glorious United States of America, though yet a young nation, has risen to a place among the Hrst of the powers of the world, simply because she has given attention to the agricultural problems that confronted her people. And today the government is doing all in its'power. through the public school, to encourage the agricultural movement, and to check the rush to the city. XX-'hy this movement? lt is simply because the nation sees what has taken place when other nations have neglected this phase of their advancement, and, fearing that history might repeat itself, she is trying to guard against any calam- ity of this nature. Thus we see that agriculture has developed nations because it has devel- oped the physical and moral side ofits citizens. The citizen of the rural com- munity is less apt to become a victim to the contamination of vile associates: and the youth raised in such an atmosphere is preparing himself for a patriotic serv- ice. for upon him the future of our country depends. s Mar aah lgnhlir tlbpininnv E NEED cast but a casual glance at the literature of today to know that this is an age of war, and not of peace. All Europe is eugagezl in one of the greatest conflicts that ever faced mankind. Peace ad- vocates had come with their cries of peace: men of wisdom had proclaimed that the world was too far advanced in civilization to ever aeain engage in su'h a deadly conflict. c be be B Q llut why such prophecies? They have come to naught, and the spirit of patriotism and loyalty burns brighter in the hearts of the people of these warring countries than does their desire for peace. XV e claim for ourselves a civilization far' in advance of that of any previous timeg we claim for ourselves an age of progressiveness, and yet we wonder if we are progressive. XVhen we look about us and see all the achievements of a past civilization shattered at their very base. we cannot but stop and think that we are receding into an age of barbarism. XVho has decried war? X-V ho has invoked this calamity upon the innocent and freedom-loving people? Is it the desire of the people themselves, or is itthe desire of some higher official in his eagerness for power? Ask the progressive business man, the mother, and the little ones their opinion of war and all will undoubtedly tell you that it is not their choice. but the choice of their country. There are times when war is justitiableg there are times when it is not. , - ' VVhen some nation tries to impose upon the libertyvand freedom of an- other, why should not the citizens rise in arms? Or when the ruling authority of some nation tries to suppress its inferior classes, certainly a revolt would be justifiable. There may be a few other instances that we might cite, but what do they all signify? These are only instances of barbarous attacks, and with the civiliza- tion that we claim to possess we would never be justified in making an attack upon some other nation. But it would be our duty to defend ourselves should any such barbarous nation attack us. Certainly the present European war is not justifiable. For what will vic- tory mean to either? Wife no longer live in the age when it is believed that victory is accorded to the right, for we know that it is brute force that conquers. It is true that the victor may gain some material advantage, or -wealth, such as the acquisition of new territory, or some indemnity. But their loss is considerably- greater. Once they may have needed territory, but now their 'citizens are gone, and the territory they might have used will be of no use, and money can never fill the place they occupied. Modern warfare means the extermination of one or both contestants. VVhat must be the agony of these contestants has they go nobly to their grave no one can tell. Do not mothers rear their sons for some nobler and more useful purpose than to be slain on the battlefield, or to be killed by the atrocities of war? s On a beautiful, sunshiny afternoon just a short time ago, the news Hashed across the water that the giant steamer, Lusitania, had been sunk, and fourteen hundred people went to a watery grave. Think of what must have been the suf- fering of those men, women and children! And we have such conditions as these in the light of the twentieth century. On every Sabbath, the world over, temples are thrown open, and men and women assemble to worship Him who is the Prince of Peacef' Yea, just in our own United States, this land of liberty and freedom, far more than 50,000 temples are thrown open. Is this a reality? Or is our Christianity a romance, our profession a lie? And so public opinion is crying against this slaughtering of the human race. Wle do not urge a sudden disarmament of the powers of the world, but we do ask that peace be upheld before the coming generations as the one goal toward which we should strive. As cities and states might be controlled by law, so might nations be controlled by international law. Enthusiasm for the hero placed Europe at Napoleoifs feet, enthusiasm for peace can organize the world. So that, instead of the clank of arms, the tramp of the war horse, and the pitiless scenes of death, decay and famine, we may behold the nations of the world of every religion, race, and color bound to- gether by the ties of the Universal Brotherhood of Man. Then let us pray, that come it may, As come it will, for a' that, That sense and worth o'er a' the earth, May bear the gree and a' that, For a' that and a' that, lt's coming yet, for a' that, That man to man, the world o'er, VV ill brothers be, for a' that. ls it not practical to think for peace, to hope for peace, and to believe in peace: to value it as we value our liberty of speaking, of thinking, of writing and of voting: to make it practical as we have made these practical? This should be an age of progress, not of war: of defense, not of destruction: and of life, not of death, .Xnd may the coming generations sec that peace, that which stands for what is most ideal upon earth. and for all ambitions for eternity, is grander than war: that to live for a worthy object is more glorious than to die: that nature and human courage are more poetic than flowing blood an l frenzied patriotism. Let us labor for that blessed time that shall last for ever when nation shall not lift up sword again nation. neither shall they learn war any more. And then what of the world's tomorrow? The power of prophecy dwells no more with men, yet the straining eye ever strives to pierce the secrets of the future. Come, let us look forward into the future and see. There, sntfnsed in the softened light of the dying day. resting upon a greensward, its wheels half- sunken in the earth, lies a cannon. lts threatening mouth is choked with roses, over its cumbrous form. a trailing vine elambers and creeps, chaining it to earth as if 'twould bind it down forever. lVhat does it symbolize? It symbolizes the banislnnent of earth's great armaments. a vine at every door, roses on chilclhood's cheeks, a song on woman's lips, no heart without its home, no soul without its hope. Down the dark future, through long generations, The echoing sounds grow fainter, and then cease: .Xnd like a bell, with solemn, sweet vibrations, l hear once more the voice of Christ say, Peace, l'eace: and no more from its brazen portals, The blast of XYar's great organ shakes the skies. llut beautiful as songs of the immortals, The holy melodies of love arise, . All the nrlifa at Saranac All the world's a stage. .-Xnd all the men and women merely players: They have their exits and their entrances: And one man in his life plays many parts. So it was three hundred years ago when the great Shakespeare penned these immortal words and so it is today. This world wherein we live is the great stage whereon we. the men and women, act our parts as we go about performing the daily functions of life. VVe ourselves determine by our own action and preparation whether we will be a principal or a minor character: whether our livesgshall be one of influence or one to furnish itself a stepping stone to others as they play before the public in this great drama. But whatever we may choose to make ourselves we shall at some time in our life come to the point where we shall choose to change our cast, and step forth into the foreground or recede into the background, whichever our previous actions may require. A leader must have ability. And it is not everyone of us who can possess this ability to such an extent as to become the leading actors, but must content ourselves with some more common role. ' There are those of us in life whose sole purpose is to amuse those about us: and again there are lives that pass that seem to be a comedy throughout their whole extent. They know no seriousness but, like the butterfly, tlit about beauti- fying all life with their constant humor. This man we shall call the comedian of life's Drama, and a spacious place must be accorded him. But he has his oppo- nent, whose sole mission is to inspire the people about him with the horrors and awfnlness of the world wherein they live. This man we shall call the tragediang and much is the sorrow he has brought to bear not only upon those who have played casts in the phases of this drama wherein he has played his part, but also upon the public at large, which has been an audience to the working of his awful crime. W'e little realize the influence which these two classes may have upon us, until it is too late and our lives have been marred of their beauty. Then we see their effects. So let us as we journey through life so blend these two factions that our influence may not be as a flaring meteor that passing through the air draws after it a trail of light, and then after a brief space of time passes into oblivion. lint let us be as a shining star which for centuries has diliiused its light upon the entire universe, undimmed, unstinted by the time through which it has shown. Wie cannot all be leading characters. ln the real stage setting only one out of about every one hundred is permitted to play this part: and in life this pro- portion is considerably smaller. Here only one out of thousands or even millions can play the leading part. In fact there can be but one leader in any nation. There is only one emperor, one king. one president. All the rest are only subor- dinates to him as he plays in the arena of life. They bring forth the setting, the rising action, the climax, and conclusicn. The general as he leads the nation into war is but making clear the entrance through which his hero must sooner or later pass. And whether he comes forth victor or vanquished, he has made the back- ground before which his chief must appear. Thus we see that we cannot all be leading actors, but let us improve the opportunities which, though they may seem insignificant, are foundations that lead to something higher. Our name may never go down in history. XV e cannot hope to be another Pericles. an Alexander. a Caesar, a Hannibal, a Napoleon, a Vtlashington, or a Lincoln. These men had their realms to rule and we have ours. Then whatever ours may be let us rule it well: For he who would be master of the world must first conquer himselff' After one has mastered himself by constant toiling and effort. other powers will come to him, for it is a well- lmown adage that 'flly diligence we prosper. Our lives are our parts to play, and may we so play them that when the time for our exit has come we may rest under honest conviction that we have played well our part. 1Ha1Phirinrg Wfe, the Class of 1915, are now about to sever our connections with the BRILLIANT HIKYH Sex-1ooL. lt is with pleasure that we recall the happenings of our association here, and loath are we to part with them. Broken and checkered has been our history, but our faith and loyalty throughout it all has not swerved from itspoint, and tonight as we stand upon life's threshold it is with a feeling that we owe a debt of gratitude to those about us. 'So hear me in behalf of the class, oh, Board of Education, and accept our thanks for the opportunities you have given us that we might better prepare our- selves to play our part in life's drama. life trust that in the future you may be able to offer even better privileges to the youth of the community. NVC wish to thank our teacher for his kind and patient efforts in his en- deavors to guide us along the path of knowledge. Ofttimes have our innocent pranks proven an eyesore to him. lint now it is over, and may his precepts and examples prove to be an inspiration to us all through life. i And now kind and loving parents we wish to acknowledge our apprecia- tion to you who have made it possible for us to attend high school. Vlle know that ofttimes we might have been of service to you at home. but you have toiled and labored that we might have opportunities which you yourselves were denied. Classmates, the time l1as now come for us to take our leave of each other. Thus far we have traveled together, henceforward we must travel diliferent ways. Each of us 'have our calling, and how we shall respond to that call depends entirely upon ourselves as individuals. May we choose that for which we are best fitted so we may be able to discharge our duties with the greatest elliciency. XV ith this thought in mind let us now say to one and all FAREVVELL. Gllaan nf 15115 KNIJI grt hut in in hrj 1 PEARL BELVILLE. Pearl comes to us from Rush Run. She was born at NVarren Ridge and has attended school at Hopewell, Connorville, Tiltonville, Glens Run, Scotch Ridge, Brush Run and Steeple Valley, before coming here. Pearl, like most pearls, is certainly a gem. She is a hard worker and a sociable companion. MYRTLE B.-XRRICKMA N. '- Myrtle was born at Franks Run, Dodgers County, XV. Va. She came to Brilliant in 1913, after having at- tended school at Ravenswood, W. Va.: Campton, Ky.: Hartford, Gibbstown, Cottageville, all in Xvest Vir- ginia, and Haggans, Pa. She expects to soon leave us to go to a farm near Atwater. VVe shall all miss Myr- tle aud her pleasant smile, but wish l1er success, and feel that her NVest Virginia experiences will count for much in her rural life. VVe trust also that there are sotne young men about Atwater, for Myrtle is very popular with the Fellows, ROBLEY E. ROBINSON. Rob is a native of xVCllSlJl1l'g', VV, Va. He began his schooling in that State, but shortly after came to our little village, where he has chosen to remain ever since. He has a very promising career. And perhaps we shall hear of him some day as he relates his mid- night walk Cor laterj beyond Empire. HAZEL YOUNG. Hazel was born at Martins Ferry. She has attended school at Tolleston, Ind, but is now a Brilliant young girl. She has a captivating heart and a winsome smile, which sometimes breaks into a laugh. She seems to feel very much at home. even when in school, and sometimes thinks she is addressing her mother, as she addresses the professor. DOTTIE RUCKMAN. Dottie was born at New England, VV. Va. She has attended school at Rayland and here. In the spring of 1914 she moved to Georges Run, where she now resides. Dottie also has a Fellow, if we are to judge from the way she says her Latin. I. GILBERT FLEMING. Gilbert was born in Brilliant and has always lived here. He has no other schooling than that which our little vilalge has afforded him, but that is nothing for one to he ashamed of, for those who know him know what he has been doing. He spends his spare time in working for Mr. 1-lukill in the grocery store. NVe won- der if he eats all the profit Mr, Hukill makes on Baked Beans. MARIE STINARD. Marie was born near Smithlield. For a while she attended school at that olace, but later went to Blues Run, and from there to Dillonvale. She now resides at Rush Run and comes to Brilliant for her training. She is well versed ni the ways of nature, and is apt to spring some of nature's working upon you at any time: of course, she will not tell where the spring is nor when it is coming. LEAH PENDERGRAFT. Leah was horn at Bethany, W. Va., hut later moved to Brilliant, and has received her entire training in the Brilliant Schools. She has never given Cupid much encouragement, but she is now in the market. Quaint, quiet and sweet- Such is Leah, we knowg Modest, gentle, and neat, But she's seldom seen a heau. l 4 l Qllzma nf1H1E XVith numbers equal to just half our class numeral we of the Freshman Class stand with pleasant faces viewing our past and at the same time awaiting with pleasant anticipation whatever the coming year might reveal to us. Never before has a class been so complimented upon its ability and effort. When but members of the eighth grade Mr. Shoolroy recognized our superior talent and took us into the I-ligh School room for instruction. VVhen Mr. Doran came to take charge of affairs he had a picture of the group, including. himself, taken. VVhen these pictures were ready for distribu- tion many were heard to ask: 'fVVho is that strange boy in theclass F nor were they chagrined upo11 learning that he was our new professor. And even Mr. Doran was overjoyed to learn of these statements, for, said he: 4'A higher compliment coiltld not have been paid anyone. Even the most severe of critics in speaking of the class, said: Never had a class more talent than has the Class of l9l6. From the time of its introduction into the High School room the class has entered with zeal into every phase of High School life. Wlithout it the plays and supper given would have been but a shadow of what they really were. Our baseball and basketball teams. which accomplished very little in the way of actual success, would have amounted to nothing: and our football career, which amounted to nothing as it was. would have been worse than nothing. Thus you see the Class of 1916 is no shirker. Only two, Stella Brown and Wlallace Miller, have fallen from our ranks as we steadily marched to our present attainments. And now as wc look back over the first half of our march we see it fraught with many difficulties, but through them all we have triumphed: so we feel that we justly deserve the rest we are now taking. NVith renewed interest we shall again assemble in the fall and may we complete the march so nobly begun with even more credit than is 11ow ours. ffiv 'IIIIE IERILLIAXT HIGII SCHOUI.

Vu. 1914 lima iiiainrg In the fall of year 1912 we gathered at our school to begin our High School education, to tit us for life's journey. Wfe were at that critical period in our career in which many boys and girls somehow seem to fail to catch the real vision of life's possibilities. In consequence, they either abandon the idea of education entirely, or pursue their studies with a growing indilference. But lucky for our 1912 Freshmen Class, we had caught the vision and determined to develop it. . Our class .was small, containing only three pupils, namely: Sarah Tate, Nellie Flaherty and Robert Faulkner, but good goods are always done up in small packages, and so it was with us. XV e studied diligently and left a record ever to be remembered. Our teacher, noticing our superior talent, and our desire to soar higher, became greatly attached to us. So much so that when one of the pupils attempted, to run away from school one day, the teacher had become so infatuated with the youngster that he pursued the Heeing youth as he betook his course to the river, where he chanced to wade Robert Faulkner dropped out of school for awhile, as he chose to cast his lot with the Mingo people, thinking that he would receive a better pugilistic and athletic training there. Sarah Tate, being a young lady of extraordinary business quality, entered the Steubenville Business College, where she was trained to shorten her hand. Nellie Flaherty remained to commence the next fall term. To begin with we got a new teacher, then the Freshman Class was taken in our room, and then the eighth grade, owing to the increasing enrollment of the pupils in the lower grades. A play was given during the first semester, which met with a great success, owing to the Brilliant, actors. But as the first semester rolled away, we had to part with our teacher, Mr. Shoolroy, who had to resign his position on account of his ill health. Mr. james L. Doran then took his place, and we then entered into the real school life. 1Ve were always very patriotic to the American flag, so much so that when our teacher left the room for a few min- utes one day, we couldn't refrain from draping his desk with the Hag and writing words of its praise on the board, but when he returned he soon taught us that there were better ways of honoring the national emblem. As the term drew to a close a play entitled 1'The Sweet Girl Graduates, was given with the commencement exercises, in which Nellie Flaherty was re- warded by being the Sweet Girl Graduate, and received her diploma on June 18. 1914. The following winter she returned to the B. H. S. She is now at work in the oliice of the Eagle Glass W'orks, Wlellsburg, XV. Va., by day, and at night she is taking a course with the Steubenville Business College. She contemplates teaching in the future. N. F. iflififa Elnnvr meanings S A TRAVELER among the mighty mountains fails to realize the height to which he has climbed, so we in life's dusty pathway cannot estimate the distance we have traveled. Among life's bright Howers, its rugged slopes, its pleasant valleys, its dangerous pitfalls, we cannot realize the magnitude of the common things about us. VV e stand upon the brink-who can guess what say the dashing waters beneath? Who can interpret the silence of the eternal stars? Vlfe rest in the valley-who can understand the whispering of the leaves? VVho can read the secrets of the ocean blue? O! deep are the inner meanings- deep, deep are the mysteries of nature, infinite are the suggestions of life! Patiently have we followed each devious turn of this pathway, stopping at times to. pluck the bright Howers that grew by its margin. whose only duty was to give to us pleasure, and lighten our load as we journeyed along. Time and again have we been compelled to search for our Howers among the brambles, and many a time have we had to be content with plucking only a thorn. But oftener still than these have we found that the bright flowers we had gathered soon with- ered and drooped, and we had left only the course, dry stems. Pleasures are like poppies spread, You seize the fiowcr, its bloom is shed! Or like the snowfall in the river A moment white-then melts foreverg Or like the borealis race, That Hit ere you can point their place: Or like the rainbow's lovely form, Evanishing amid the storm. w But successfully have we passed over these pleasures, trials a11d tribula- tions, while others have fallen by tl1e wayside. until tonight, we stand upon the brink of life, looking down into the dark abyss, where many a pitfall lurks to ensnare our erring efforts. Casting our eyes back for one last view, we see our past life, which is so small, but the trials and tribulations of which will mean so much to us, But life is far too short for such meditations. Let us not look down nor back, neither to the right nor left, but raising our eyes to a level, let us look straight ahead into those broad Helds of activity, wherein there awaits an opportunity for us to play our role ere Father Time shall close his books and call us into an unknown realm. lVhat role we may be called upon to play, we ourselves have determined by our previous desires and preparation s. Wie can not all play leading parts, but whether our part be great or small we can play it well. Temptations are bound to arise and beset us upon every side, but let us fix our aim, and then so concen- trate our efforts toward its attaimnent that we may be able to overcome all ob- stacles that may arise in our path, and at last mount he shining ladder of success, for as one of the great poets has said : l'leaven is not reached at a single bound, But we build the ladder by which we rise From the lowly earth to the vaulted skies, And we mount to its summit round by round. l count this thing to be grandly true That a noble deed is a step toward God. Lifting the soul from the common elod To a purer air and a broader view. lYe rise by the things that are under our feet: lly what we have mastered of good of gain: By the pride deposed andthe passion slain. And the vanquished ills that we hourly meet. Let us then, in making this aim of our life, make it high, and though we may fall far short of its attainment we shall not feel that our life has been in vain. lVe should ever be content with our lot and condition, thus making our own life bright and happy, as well as the lives of those about us. Yet this contentment should not go so far as to prohibit us from ever being on the lookout for some- thing better. Let us then, as we go through this life, improve the opportunities as they are ours: neglect not our spare moments, and fulfill our occupied ones to the best of our ability, so that the oncoming generations may look upon our career, long after we have passed away and say: His was a life we might all do well to follow. Then let us: So live. that when thy summons comes to join The innumerable caravan, which moves To that mysterious realm. when each shall take lflis chamber in the silent halls of death, 'lihon go not like the quarry-slave at night. Seourged to his dungeon, but, sustained and soothed lly an unfaltering trust. approach thy grave Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams. NELL112 U.

' tx xx, T . Q . Q5 'E fs 0112155 nf 139 S A MEMBER of the first graduating class, I greet you and hope that much happiness may be yours in the years to come. Wlhen I think of the lirst Commencement of the Brilliant High School, the old song. Just Twenty Years Ago, comes to me. I used to think what a long, long time twenty years were. llut now as I look back. it seems but yesterday. Was ever twenty years so fraught with important scientific discoveries and inventions. which have added to the comfort and convenience of the human race? Mr. Frank Clohan and your humble servant composed the Hrst graduating class. Franks subject was Tendencies of the Times. and I called mine The Realm of Thought. and you may be sure they were wry learned orations. .-Xs our class was small. Olive Connell with The L'se of Trying and George A. Wiaddle with The Stone represented the classes of '96 and '97, re- spectively, at the exercises. I forget how the boys were dressed. XYhat's the difference, anyway, it was only an ordinary black suit, I guess: boys never could glory in the latest style. Now our dresses were gorgeous, especially as to de- sign. Our sleeves were the biggest l It took a yard of yard-wide goods to make one sleeveg and then it must be stffened out balloon-like with crinoline. VVe were certainly proud of our big sleeves andtfull-gathered skirts. After we were seated on the stage and the orchestra was playing, George took a notion to rehearse his piece. gestures and all. tGeorge was just about twelve years of age, all legs and arms, it seemedj I-Ie was oblivious of the audi- ence and was causing much amusement :so I otfered him my fan, hoping to inter- rupt him, but he impatiently shook it away and went on with his rehearsal in an undertone. L I will always remember my old tfj teachers with gratitude, especially Mr. blames L. Cox, who first so patiently made clear to me the puzzle of arithme- tic. and Mr. il. E. Scamahorn, who spent so much energy and time in arranging the curriculum and establishing the I-Iigh School. I know if it had not been for the earnest effort of Mr. Scamahorn there would have been no graduating class lust Twenty ,Years Agofl I hope Father Time will deal so lightly with all of us as he has with Mr. Cox and Mr. Scamahorn. . Frank Clohan, whom we all so well liked, now lives in Menlo Park. Cal. He is married and has a family. My husband and I with family have spent some time in Oregon in search of health for Mr. Gilbert, which search, I am glad to 9-Ely, has been well rewarded. But my heart was ever with Ohio. In East or W'est it is the llestf' There is no State in the Union with greater possibilities than the Buckeye State. So the Class of 1895 spread clear to the Pacilice Coast! I was in Oregon long enough to be a Cl'fli5FlI of the United States and helped to vote that one State dry, and was very proud of the representatives of my sex, Miss Clarke, Senator, and Miss Towne, Representative. who so ably filled their positions. Attending sessions of the Legislature, I found, as Miss Clarke said. the women weren't the only talkers. And as Ohio is equal to or in the lead of other States, I hope that she will soon take her place with her more progressive sisters, by establishing the emancipation of the other and better half of her population. VV e speak of new inventionsg they or their principles are not new. The laws governing the wonders of the twentieth century have existed ever since the universe came into existence. It is only that 1114111 has developed from fear and superstition and has explored these fields, found these principles and applied them practically. It was possible thousandsof years ago to have had these wonders: wireless telegraph, moving and talking pictures, Hying machines, submarines, etc.. had man been ready, but he was still bound in the swaddling clothes of ignorance. But at last he has chanced to grow from this state. llut as we view it even today there is no limit to his possibilities. I can remember when people laughed at the idea of Hying! W'ho dares in the face of the evidence of the last twenty years, laugh at the idea of walking on the water ? Christ, the Divine Man, demonstrated the supremacy of mind: the supreme intelligence, over every obstacle, CV611 death and the grave! and every day brings forth new testimony of the power of thought. . And so my hope is that we may live yet another twenty years. and we will surely see still more wonderful inventions as men work out the old principles and laws. I feel. as I study the past, that the youth of twenty years ago with his open, inquiring mind, bursting the fetters of conservatism, has made more progress than has been made in any twenty years of the history of the world. This grow- ing enlightenment will burst the bonds of ignorance and poverty which envelope the major portion of our population. And, pierced by the bright rays of mind, the clouds of discord, war. and pestilence will vanish never to return. Wfishiug the li. H. S. many happy Commencements, I remain.

This one boy was the target of all the pranks the girls, not only of this one class but of the other classes also, could originate. And well does our young hero rememe ber the time when Llda Gilchrist began to tickle him with a hat pin. So you may not be surprised to know that after a few such violent thrusts poor Nvill was willing to single out two girls and appear with them before the public on Thurs- day evening.

' lint he. ever mindful of his matrimonial pleasures, decided to respond a sec- end time to Cupid's pleading voice. So on September 1, 1915, he reasserted his confidence, esteem, and love in the family of his first choice, and married another one of their number, Bliss Naomi Miller of Chicago. Miss Olive Connell married Mr. Irwin Dunlap in the year of 19- and they now reside at East Liverpool. where Mr. Dunlap is engaged as a cashier in a bank. Miss Dora Lfllrich is now engaged as a clerk in Mr. Hukill's grocery. She has never married, but she undoubtedly has had some desire to taste of the pleas- ures of matrimony. for she has changedher name, but, alas! it was only her given name, and henceforth we shall know her as Dorothy.

H Ginza nf 1397 N THE evening of june 24, eighteen years ago, the banner class of the lirilliant I-Iigh School made its debut under the colors of Red and Green a11d the numerals of '97. Wie have three claims to the honor of which we have just spoken. The first is that up to that time we were the larg- est class that had gone forth from the school, nor has there been a class since then that has excelled us in numbers fthe class of '03, however, had an equal num- berl. Our second claim to this honor is, never before nor since has a class had the honor of having one of its members, when they were in their sophomore year, represent their class at the Commencement exercises. And last of all there has never before nor since been a class that has had another class acknowledge them as their leader. Ilut such was the case with the class of '97, for no one doubts, and even Rodgers himself Qof the class of '96j, had to admit that he received an inspiration the time that Llda Gilchrist attacked him with a hat pin. Our class was rather tlowery, having two Lillies: we also possessed a Belle in our numbers. One of our Lillies was Lily llond. Now you have all heard of a brand of paper named Lily Bond. so, lest you thing the same of our class, I wish to assure you that ours was not a paper Lily, and although she may become wrinkled she will never become crumpled. So popular was our class that all but two have married and one of them has been so fortunate as to respond to matrimony's call with an encore. Lillie Davis. the clown of the class. thinks there must have been some mistake, for How, says she, 'could two men be justified in plucking one Lily from a bed in which two grew? Certainly one should have plucked the sister Howerfl But Llda says she thinks it is perfectly natural for Lillie Davis to be slighted, for, says she, I think it runs in the family. Trusting that this controversy may be soon settled a11d all may be made happy, we now bid you adieu. Glleusm nf ISHS COLORS: Rvd, White and Blnc. QTIIC Spunislz- r1'Hlt'7'fCtIlI Ufar C1ass.j af S .

Gllmm nf ISHS N THE fall of 1894- a few of the young people of llrilliant gathered at the lligh School to begin their training for the battles of life. 4XVith what anxious hearts we awaited that morning to see what the future might hold in store for us. and how earnestly we applied ourselves to the paths in which Pro- fessor Scamahorn might choose to direct us, no one but the class of '98 will ever be able to relate. But in the multiplicity of the problems of life that Freshman year has faded into insignificance, as also the other years have done, until the evening of June 9, 1898. under the colors of Red, Wlhite and Blue the honors of graduation were conferred upon Miss Nellie llarrett, a Lowe and Wleeldy girl. Since that time we have traveled separate ways. For awhile we traveled alone. but at last. growing weary of solitary life, Eva Wfeekly decided to launch out upon the sea of mrtrimony, and was married to Mr. Edward Davis. They now have a crew of live, three children, Olin, Catherine and Myron, having been born to them. ' Miss Jessie Lowe was next to venture upon that unknown sea and mar- ried Mr. NN-lilliam VVagner of Mingo. Miss Nellie Barrett has never had the courage to venture out upon this troublesome sea. but perhaps when men adopt the ladies' style of hair dressing she will be the Barrett to adorn some man 's head. ' Thus endeth the history of the girls three, One at home, and two at sea. l lx Qllewn nf ISHS Cuwks: Gold and IIf'l11'fv. Fuowliusz CUl'l1lIff0llS.

HIS was the song of The Irrepressibles, the class of Ninety-nine. noth- ing like it before or since. It registered the highest notch ever attained by any class of Brilliant High School. It was-well-similar to a cele- bration of the furies when loose for a holiday. One thing not in the school rou- tine was the Kicking of Old Nineteenth Century into his place of everlasting rest before his real demise. In fact, we had him in his coliin and the lid nailed on long before he drew his last breath, so much so that we had to sit on the lid to keep him from kicking it off. ' Wfell, we buried him softly and silently at high noon, in the world's ceme- tery, under a big tree, near Mrs. Mahala Scheetz's back yard. VV e sang the sad requiem found at the head of this sketch. Parson M. Brown delivered the funeral oration. Mr. H. A. Bruney officiated as undertaker, carefully arranging his man- tle about him. Miss Florise Humble performed a very Htting dirge on the mouth organ. The rest of the class shed a century's worthy of tears as we slowly con- signed Old Nineteenth Century to his bed in Mother Earth. lVell, the music was so affecting that the Superintendent had to suppress it and almost calmed the musicians. Looking, back through these sixteen years I think Old Nineteenth Century was a mighty good old fellow, but he died too slowly for us then. The class had energy to do its work and a fairly good sur- plus in reserve for those emergencies which students often meet. YVe studied harder than we cared to admit at that time. Our mission and motive was to be funny, Elllll when we were prevented from being that we were as funny as we could be. Wie might have been very appropriately dubbed The Terribles from the noise we could make. XVell, there was the born leader of mischief and fun, Florise M. Humble, the daughter of a Methodist minister, whose itineraey had given her the advantage of several schools and long enough in Seio College to take on college airs. She found a close second in several of the class and a unanimous yea vote to all the moves that furnished a break in the humdrum monotony of school routine study. Now this is about the place to give the class yell. Attention, class! Call the Roll! . - Melva G. Brown .... .... P lere Elsie A. Carpenter .... . . .Present Florise M. Humble... .... Here H.

Alton, silent, demure, taciturn, so careful of being caught that eve11 a close ob- server would conclude Alton to be the personifieation of deeorum. When we said Yell, Alton! of course Alton didn't yell if the teacher was in good -hearing dis- tance. NV ell, we went through that year and the Commencement most superbly. Not with the same zest we could give our class yell, at every favorable oppor- tunity, but we decided good enough for anybody. Where are we all now? 'All here, thank you! Elsie A. Carpenter went from school to a clerkship in Robert CZ11'1JCIltCI'iS store. But the siren's song, Get Married! lured her away and she is now Mrs. Robert H. Clark of Bril- liant, Ohio. Florise Humble taught school for a time in the public schools in VVheeling, XV. Y a. She laid by the seepter of a school mar'm to become Mrs. Harry Beck of Martins Ferry, Ohio. Lillie B. Longbottom, after the closing of her school career, clerked for several years in MeCune Brosf store at Brilliant, Ohio, but is now one of the out- litters in May and Leopold's store at Steubenville, Ohio. Melva G. Brown is and has been in Mingo Junction. She is an artist of note in the mantua-maker business. H. Alton Bruney is pursuing medical studies, preparing to practice medi- eine. The zeal and energy of the class of '99 has not shown any signs of decay, and not one feels a day older than they did on the Sth of june, 1899, when they stood in the Old Town Hall under a canopy of Gold and Vlfhite and Fired live parting salutes to Old Brilliant High School.

Qllamz nf 19111 HE Sixth Graduating Class of the Brilliant High School was introflucezl to waiting friends on Thursday evening. May 9. 1901. The class was received with smiles of appreciation and Howers in profusion. No one who has never passed through and been a participant in a school commencement can realize the phantasy of hopes and fears that haunt the mind of a coming high school graduate. But whatever may be the feelings of the passing hour, it is recoinpensed by the satisfaction of achieving something worthy of much effort. Wfhile many things came to this class through persistent effort. one came by the workings of fortune or fate, that of being the Twentieth Century Classf' a distinction no other class from our school will ever be entitled to wear on their badges. XVho are the fortunate possessors of this distinguished title of honor? BELLE F. -GILCHRIs'r SARAH 1'lA'1 l'IiEVVS XVILIYIELMANA LOWE GERTRUDE K. NICHOLSON PEARL M. l'lUNTliR . Of this class there were no building poets, no rising statesmen., no prom- ising sculptors-no: not even an aspiring tonsorial artist. All except the Salutatorian and Valedictorian have taken the conjugal yoke. These two have taken to patient waiting. Sarah Matthews went into partnership with Mr. Reed Pender and is hap- pily domiciled in this city. ' Gertrude entered into a life alliance with Earl W. Everson, the contractor, and is now dwelling in the suburbs of the city. XVilhehnina became the helpmate of Mr. Clifford McDonald, and we note with sorrow that she of this school's graduates was the first to fall before the scythe of that Grim Reaper who respects neither youth nor age. Of the other two the genial Belle is still Belle Gilchrist, and the prospects for a change do not look very encouraging at present. Pearl Hunter is a professional player on the Bell Telephone switch-board at Xlfasliington, Pa. Of the five that composed the Twentieth Century Class Pearl deserves more than passing mention. In that struggle to achieve an distinc- tion, such as graduation from High School carries, she had much to overcome. Being greatly crippled from childhood, she took her way on crutches to and from school for nine years, until at last she stood face to face with the realization of a commendable ambition. It was not an achievement difficult, for one endowed with all the physical powers that the good Creator has given, to accomplish, but as the successive years of this school's history pass, her effort will add a growing luster to this honor roll of the Class of 1901, such as canbe claimed by very few classes of this or any other country: an effort well worthy of emulation. So if we take it all in all, the Class of 1901 is unique in so many ways that space would not permit of only a brief mention. That this class may verify the 'ithrec score years and ten promise, and more, is the best wish of Grapho. DEATH ROLL Mas. CLIFFORD LTCDGNIXLD. U ln 1910 a message was received by Mr. and Mrs. A. XV. McDonald from their son, Clifford McDonald, at Denver, Col., announcing the sad tidings of the death of his beloved young wife, Vlfilhelmina Lowe McDonald, at their home in that city Tuesday morning, May 31, 1910, at 9 o'clock. The news came as a ter- rible shock, as Mrs. McDonald. although she had not be in her usual health after she passed through a critical operation a year before, was thought to be slowly but surely regaining her health. Mrs. McDonald was a daughter of the late 11Villiam H. and Mrs. lVilhelmina Lowe. of Brilliant, and was born in their home in that place twenty-five years ago. She was a bright, vivacious young girl of fine per- sonal appearance. kindly in disposition, and beloved for her merry disposition and cheery. happy life. She married Clifford McDonald of Steubenville in July, 1907, and she made her home with Mr. McDonald's parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. VV. McDonald and became a beloved daughter in the household. In 1908 they moved to Mt. Vista, Colorado, for Mr. McDonald's health, and after ranching it for a year moved to Denver, where Mr. McDonald, having recovered his health, ac- cepted a fine position in a bank, and they had been making their home in that city. Her death thus in the beauty of youthful womanhood came as a crushing blow to her husband and homefolks in Steubenville and the bereaved mother in brilliant. She was a member of the First Presbyterian Church of Steubenville and also of the First Presbyterian Church at Denver, of which Rev. Dr. Elder was minister. The closing of this young life so fair and full of promise is one of those mysteri- ous dispensations of Providence. which cannot be answered till the veil of our mortal vision be rent by immortality. and we see not, as now, darkly, but in the divine light of love of Him who hath said: Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God. Xafhile her loss is keenly felt on earth and hearts are bowed in bereavement for her, it is the cross, the crown, the heritage of earth, exchanged for glory of divinest love. - Ollewa nf 19113 JESSIE CGOOCH3 WEISS, ZoARv1L1.E, OH1o.- Mzlrried Mr. NValter Weiss.

Linder the colors of Red and Wlhite, VVe gathered together Commencement night, NV ith faces aglow, all happy and bright- W'hat wonderful aims we l1ad in sight. Since that night many changes have come, newiideas, work, and new names to some, but still as we wander back to the dear old school on the hill, many are the pleasant memory pictures that come before us, being almost a mov- ing picture of fun and happy moments spent together, as well as many diligent ones spent in good hard study, as the brains UD in this class were very evenly divided, making each one hustle to keep up with the other one.. But along with our studies, this class one year would probably have excelled in the art of ballet, had our good teacher remained long enough from the room. Along with this amusement, we had a line Fly Quartette to furnish the smusic, this being con- ducted by Oliver Bruney at the rear of the room. How many and how funny are the jokes we could tell of those days long ago, but now we will take up the serious side of life, tellinff 'ust how bright we were then and where we are now. sl s Jessie Gooch, the synonym of neatness and order, was the first to steal a march on us and get married. NVQ wonder at this, for we firmly believed that Jessie would be a modiste. llow well we remember the tempting red apples usually seen on her desk. but how very often they were devoured by one other than Jes- sie. After distributing the several daily mails at the Brilliant Postoftice for sev- eral years, she resigned l1er position to take care of one male, Mr. VValter VVeiss. an agent of the VVabash Railroad. VVinnie VV. Wilson was noted for her determination and willful ways, due perhaps to having so many Wps in her name. She would hold on to a difficult task, burning the midnight oil, and as the morning dawned clear or cloudy and the call of duty was sounded, VVinnie was always there with those selfsame de- termined features. Having graduated as a trained nurse from the VVheeling City Hospital, and spending sometime in the Lakeside Hospital in Cleveland, she re- turned to the former city to enter into a life contract to care for Mr. Harry Schuh. Margaret Rodgers was the linguist of the class, and as no class can expect to receive notice without having a representative to speak on all public occasions, Margaret was always there with the goods, adding greatly to the entertainment. Having graduated from XVils011 College, with her name On the Honor Roll, she traveled to the West, also to many places of interest in Europe, but has at last removed from our minds anxiety by settling down and becoming the wife of llarry S. Peterson, Superintendent of The Senaca Oil NVorks of Wfarren, Pa. liizzie M. Lowe, having taken the honors of this class, received a scholar- ship with the Tri-State Business College, and, after iinishing the business course, has kept diligently at her post of duty, being now located with WV. F. Davidson 81 Company, Steubenville, Ohio, and as she travels to and from her work on the cars daily, no vexatious ever coming to the surface, we see she is still a firm be- liever in Mrs. XYiggs' home-like philosophy: .l'ut all your troubles down deep in the bottom of your heart, then sit on the lid and smile. Oliver llruney was the boy with an aim. very early in life he directed every energy toward becoming a railroad man. No train ever passed at a11 unusal time without his knowledge. Questions involving the transportation features were play for Oliver. llc usually came into the school-room at the last tap of the bell, on time, and with a good supply of steam. :Xfter making a trip to the Wfest, working at Cleveland and various other places in railroading, he finally settle:l down, got married, and is a trusted agent of the li'ennsylvania Railroad at lieaver, Pa. XVilliam llall gave early promise of the characteristics which make the real business man-always courteous, with the required amount of manly- dignity. XYill was born and reared in the country, but he soon demonstrated that he was no rube. Every lesson was satisfactory, or he was ready to make it so. He took such interest in the preparation of l1is manuscripts that few were ever ex- changedf' XVe always felt that he would some day be of some service to the rest of us and if you wish to enjoy real comfort along life's dusty highway. call on Hill, manager of the XYalk-Over Shoe Store, St. Louis.

Qllaaa nf 1911 f O RECOUNT the glories of the Class of 1905 is a task almost without li1nit. At the beginning the class consisted of six members. However, Maynard Carpenter left in the junior year to enter in business with his fatherg Ezra Wiilson in the sophomore year to accept a position at the Carnegie Plant at Mingo Junction, Belle Bailey in the junior year to take a business course. Thus but three girls were left to sail the sea of learning. Although small in num- ber, what was lacking in quantity was made up in quality. But though the Class of 1905 were students, they found fun as well as learning in school life. To our Principal, Mr. Everson, we give nmch credit for whatever success we may have had. Although he had had much experience in girl nature, he was unsuspiciously trustful. Taking it for granted that the class was always inter- ested in the 'lsubjectf' when asking to converse with their classmates across the room. never thinking that the problem to be solved was l'fudge. Persistency and a set purpose have gained for the class many things, as has been shown in the case of Mrs. H. M. Cattell, nee Margaret Hall, who said her aspirations in life were a diamond ring, a man, and an automobile. Of course, this demonstrates our motto: The Reward of the Faithful is Certain. Margaret Hall was born at Rush Run, Ohio. Her early life was spent on the farm as have been the lives of many of our noted men and women. She at- tended the rural school until entering Brilliant High School, where she completed her High School Course. After graduating, she entered Mt. Union Colelge, tak- ing a Normal Course, later teaching at Columbiana, Ohio, and Bellaire, Ohio. At the end of her fourth year of teaching Margaret thought she would like a course in Domestic Science, having married Mr. H. M. Cattell of Mt. Pleasant, Ohio, in 1910. She continues to like this course, which she carries on ve1'y successfully at Slllltllhfflll, Ohio. Edna Grace Cox was lJO1'11.ll1iliI'1lllEl11t, Ohio, where she entered school, finish- ing the Grammar Grade in what was then known as Spaulding's Addition, later en- tering Brilliant High School. Edna was the 'fSta1' Speaker of the class. Some of her best selections are The Kankakee or the Kokomo, and Say 'How Do You Dof But Not 'Good-bye'. Her' selections were- always rendered with mirth, though sometimes cut short by the good fellowship of her classmates. Although beginning with such a brilliant career in elocution, she has not continued in this line. After graduating she entered Steubenville Business College, receiving her diploma in 1903. She has held several sucessful positions since, and now holds a responsible position as bookkeeper at the XVeirton Plant, VVeirton, XV. Va. Mary Dean was born in Brilliant, Ohio. She received her early educa- tion in the Brilliant Schools. After graduating she took Normal training at Ohio University at Athens, Ohio, and has been a successful teacher in the Brilliant Schools for the past eight years. Last but not least, through the years she has successfully resisted the persistent attentions of Si Qllama nf 19117 BEATRICE QBELLH MILLER RHODESIEALE. OHIO.

Qllaaa nf 19117 N THE morning of September 6, 1903, the Brilliant Class of 1907 began its career. There were a large number of us who volunteered to follow in whatever paths Prof. Evcrson might choose to direct us. However, before many months had passed the majority of the class had changed their minds and decided that they were better able to select their course than the pro- fessor himself. Therefore, the class began early to diminish in size, each one casting their lot in other spheres, save one, who not by choice was called from our ranks. for on September 21, 1905, death claimed our beloved classmate, Elizabeth W'ilson. This bereavement coming as it did at the beginning of the school year, caused a pall of gloom to fall upon the entire class. Thus one by one the class dwindled away until only three remained. Not being able to dispose of these three in any other manner, Prof. Everson at last, on May 16, 1907, came upon the scene and drove them away with a diploma. But this trio did not arrive at this goal without some pleasure. Vtfell do we recall the times spent in that old school building! And yet we have no really exciting incidents to relate: this is probably due to the fact that the class was one- third Greene But we were fortunate in having a real Belle in the class. She has since proven her right to the name, as she is the only one who has been able to capture a man. Last but not least we have Nellie llruney, always of a domestic turn. She has become quite an expert in the profession by this time, being at home with her parents. Gilman nf 19111 COLORS: Blue and Wlzifv.

Wie were early graced by the presence of one, Miss Vlfilda Skaggs, who chanced to cast her lot with us, and volun- teered to chaperon us over the path which she had already begun. But she early lured us into countless pleasures and difficulties. Among the first of these. let us mention the trip to the Addition School, and the inexpressible pleasure it fur- nished to its participants every evening for a week thereafter, but let it be said with justice to the High School that a few chose to remain and, with Prof. Ever- son, cuss and discuss the characteristics of Wihittier to the tune of That's the Wray for Billy and Me. For awhile we glided on without friction, but we were learning something besides book knowledge. Inasmuch as our library was small, we were compelled to bring outside materialg among this let us remember a famous recipe for kisses. How we all did relish it! One by one it passed around the room until the pro- fessor could wait no longer. then, with glowing face, he perused it: poor Ruth did not get to read it. but if Professor only knew of what pleasure he had robbed her he would no doubt fperchance his eyes should fall upon these linel, forward her a copy, for, judging by the eagerness with which he grasped it, he has pre- served it to this day. Thus ended our first year. As the second year dawned upon us a great many of our familiar faces failed to appear, few jokes passed, as our minds were drawn to higher ideals, for, let it be remembered by all that Bess Faulkner en- tered the High School at this time, and, as the school consisted mostly of girls, his presence was heralded as though it were a style from Paris, so pleasing his attitude, and so fascinating was the gaze of his azure eyes as they peered from beneath his taffy-colored hair. It is no wonder he made an impression on the fair damsels who had no better taste. VV ith minds still on Bess we decided to take a vacation from May until September. XVe then began the third year's work, but things were different, for at the beginning of this year a Boyle had gathered upon the class. and with this accumulated an addition of Ruth Fleming, Gaynelle McCartney, Tracy For- sythe, and Chester Dalrymple. XV e had new problems to solve, for how could we entertain one backward, blushing youth in an environment of girls? So, out of mercy for him, we decided to let the year pass uneventfully away. VVe then donned the more serious cloak of Seniority. That was the year of that memorable sled-ride to New Alexandria, Jefferson County, Ohio. It had always been the policy of Prof. Everson to set the prece- dent for his pupils, and inasmuch as the school was always an obedient group of persons, the majority would follow their teacher. So you cannot wonder when Professor made a headlong dive over the hill. to the barbed wire fence that awaited him below, that some of his pupils chose to follow. So pleasant was the experience that he responded with an encore. The girls were by that time afraiil to ride in the sled. that had up to then taken the lead, so they all piled in the other sled. It was selilom the boys had an opportunity like this, and so could not bear to leave the girls. consequently they walked along beside the sled that bore the fair damsels back to Brilliant. This was a very enjoyable year and gladly would we have had it last longer, but Prof. Everscn came in and drove us off with our diplomas. Unzler the colors blue and white, with our motto, ily Diligence V70 Prosper, ever as our watch- word, we sailed out upon that broad expanse of life as four school teachers. But Hazel Harris soon gave up the profession for rank with nobility, for a King came along and now she reigns as Queen of a family of four in the village of Mingo Junction. Tidley Skaggs was next to venture upon the sea of matrirnony. She received a Heap Qpardon me, I mean a Pylej, when she married. They for awhile resided on the hilltop of Smithfield, and while there accumulated a Little Pyle. They now reside in Brilliant. The only one in the class that ever got mad was Ethel, and oh! how she did Boyle For five years she offered her services as a teacher. but she has changed her profession and has begun to compete with Mr. Ackerman and Mr. Crooks, for since June we have had a new Barber. Let us give her our best wishes and all our trade. Ruth is new left alone: she is still a school teacher, her term will soon be done, but we hope she will not always be Dunn, For here's to Ruth, who's had many a chance, She may yet marry, if so says her aunt.

Married Richard Brettell, 1915, They have one son, Donald Edward, Gllaaa nf 12111 71-IEN Prof. Everson entered the class-room and looked over the future wx Class of 1911 he found eight seats occupied, five by Ethel Humphrey, Delbert Everson, Helen Kepler, Ethel jackson, Ada Anderson, and the other three by Edwin lNlcCune. Even the Professor afmitted that this array of talent promised great things. but hardly had the work of preparation for the future revolution of the affairs of mankind commenced when the ruthless hanil of Fate tcok one of the brightest stars from our midst to another fiell of work, and Ethel jackson was not permitted to Hnish with the class. Anil then, when this loss was still fresh i11 our minds. came the news that Helen, becoming weary of climbing the mountain figuratively as well as literally, discovereil that her social duties were so pressing that she would no longer have time to continue her stufl- ies. The remainder of the class, thus sadly handicapped, pursued the torturous path to knowledge the remainder of the session. During the summer recess still greater changes took place and at the com- mencement of the last session we find another pilot has take11 charge and Prof. Fouch is at the helm. VVe also find further depletion in our ranks and Delbert Everson, the quiet but ever pleasant headlight of our class, has left us to become a craftsman, and McCune, who occupied about as large a place in our hearts as he did in the class-room, goes from us to continue his exploration in the fields of knowledge in other quarters. And yet we recall with pleasure the splendid times we had together while these were still with us. Of how Kepler, having gained per- mission from Prof. Everson, organized a nutting expedition and so engineered affairs that she cornered the entire male element of the class and strolled off by one route, while the remainder of the class, finding themselves outgeneraled, sadly pursued another. Through all these joys, trials and disappointments came Ethel Humphrey and Ada Anderson, these' two arriving at the goal to which they had long aspired, received their diplomas at the hands of the Board of Education. Prof. Fouch reluctantly removed his hand from his coat Jocket long enough to say goodbye to the class as they passed into history. ' 1 ta 6 Ethel, better known as Giggles, is studying Home Economy, which she is putting in practice. for in 1915 she married Richard Brettell. Ada, the obedient one, is still at home with her mother, but is rejoicing over the fact that leap year is here. minus nf 1512 COLORS: Rvd and I'If'l11'fv.

Taught Stark School one year and Block House School one year. She returns to Block House for next year. D N l H12 fall of 1910 the llrilliant High School welcomed to its midst Prof. l , t H. C. Fouch. XYe. the class, later designated as a class of '12, had the rare privilege of being the only ones to begin our career with him. lt is no wonder that he felt embarrassed as he looked over that sea of faces, and felt com- pelled to keep his right hand in his coat pocket in order that he might make more room for the pupils, as they went about their work. 'llhe school was unusually large that year, so much so that the Professor was unable to make the acquaintance of his pupils, nor were the pupils able to fcrm an acquaintance with him. Perhaps those who were best able to make his acquaintance were .-Xda Anderson. Ethel Humphrey, Margaret Fryer. Grace Hus- ton and Clark 'llate. These comprised the High School. 8 So promising was our Freshman Class that Prof. Fouch early deemed us worthy of higher rank. so we were immediately placed in the Senior Class in that one study known as Dutch tlly the way, permit me to say that this was the Seniors' '.'bugbear: however. the Freshmen had not trouble with it.l Our class was unusually studious and instead of the Seniors setting the examples for the Freshmen. our class established the precedent. So that by the time the Seniors had reached their goal of graduation we had taught them how they should behave. This was the hardest task that confronted us. Thus, you see. by the time we' had conquered the haughty Seniors we had no time for pranks. So our Freshman year passed uneventfully into the pages of school his- toryl with one month's less work than any previous class had been permitted to do. 'Phe reason for this was that the Freshman Class was so extraordinarily bright and so well did the Seniors follow their lesson of application that both classes had mastered all the books furnished them. and in order that we might not while away our time the school was dismissed one month earlier than usual. After a brief vacation we again returned to begin our Senior year. Mary Cope resolved to complete her education with the glorious Class of 1912, so this made a Senior Class of three students. Having received all the information that Professor Fouch was able to give. the lloard of Education found it necessary to select a new teacher. 'llhis was XY. lei. Logan of Guernsey County. Ohio. This man came to us in a single state. but finding two young ladies and one young man in his Senior Class. and fearing that the lot of entertaining one of the young ladies would fall to him he decided to take to himself a wife. llut he did not arrive at this decision until after many trips to his former home. Mr. Logan and the young ladies were kept very busy entertaining Clark, for he was so bashful. and is to this day. 4 t liarly in the year Mr. Logan carved a paddle which he christened '.'Xunt lletseyf' and for this reason the Senior Class did not indulge in much mischief. Slowly the year waned away until May 31st, 1912. when our class arrive'l upon life's threshold. S Mary Cope entered upon life's sea as a clerk. but she has at last followel Klr. l.ogan's example aml has had the knot tied. She is known now as Mrs. XV. Cl. Horner.

Married Mr. Thomas Lyons in 1913 Qlleum nf 1913 X THE fall of 1911 there enrolled in the Freshman Class of the lirilliant High School three pupils, Grace Robinson, Harry Cox and Helen Breed- love. lint within a very short time Grace withdrew, and shortly after Harry followed suit. Thus, you see. with but one member there was not much of an opportunity for social activities, nor could we have many class pranks of which I might relate. So 1 must include within the annals of the Class of 1913 some incidents of a more general nature. . No doubt the Class of 1912 has given you an account of our beloved l'ro- fessor's matrimonial venture. This was perfectly natural, as that class failed when it came to entertaining our celibate instructor, and as you know it would not be consistent in a Freshman class to forge ahead of the Seniors in any social function. And so our class was compelled to stand back and see our guide launch into his venture without first giving us a chance to show our ability in that line. llut we have every reason to believe that Prof. Logan soon regretted his daring move. For well do we remember how one evening, with his mind un- doubtedly upon our class, he strolled forth to converse with one of the Board members while his wife prepared herself for an entertainment to be given at the Town Hall that evening. llut as the time for the entertainment drew nigh Mr. Logan. quite forgetful of his better half's existence. left her patiently awaiting his return, while he, accompanied by our School Director, wended his way to the place of amusement. Wfhen called upon to explain such maneuvers, he could only say that his mind was so absorbed in other matters tk we suggest the Freshman Classl that he had forgotten that his wife had planned to accompany him. As the second year dawned upon us, three from the eighth grade of the previous year entered the then newly created Freshman Class. Hut one of these soon left: and as there were then but three tall girlsl left in the High School, Mir. Logan, fearing that his wife, mindful of the incident of the previous year. might become jealous and distrustful of the schools true purpose, invited the fourth grade to our room and entertained them with frequent violin solos. 'llhroughout it all our class finally came to its graduation day. lille class was unique in several respects: never before had the salutatory and valedietory honors been conferred upon the same person. but in this class not only these two but all honors wre conferred upon Miss Helen Ilreedlove, the sole graduate of the Class of 1913.

XVe then journeyed back to llrilliant, where we held a pow-wow near the Rodgers R Clark Store. After each one had been given a list of what they were to take for the dinner next day, we parted and each went to our separate homes. L'ntil late that evening each one was busy preparing something for the din- ner next day. Robley Robinson and Gilbert Fleming went to the boarding home of Mr. Doran, where they made fudge. which was very fine. lt was very late that evening before all was quiet in the little town of llril- liant, but at last all became silent and peaceful, while happy dreams of the mor- row danced through our heads. i Early the next morning all were up, and at 7 o'clock we met on the corner of Smithfield and Main streets, where we had the roll called. Alice Alvey. Jessie Cope, Nellie Flaherty. Myrtle llarrickman, llazel Young, Leah l'endergraft. Dot- tie Ruckman, Robley Robinson, Gilbert Fleming, Xklilliam lleadling and Mr. Doran were present. lloarding the car we started on our trip. Arriving at the Xlfabash bridge. we got .off and asked for permission to walk the bridge. After being informed that there were no objections we started to cross over the Ohio River. On reaching the middle of the bridge we stopped and viewed the scenery about us, then con- tinued our journey. At length we came to a small school house, where we stoppe.l for a few moments, got a drink and started on. After going some distance we came upon a man who was ploughing corn. 'llhe Agriculture Class became interested and stopped to examine the plants. lint the rest of us were thinking more of a good time, so we hurried on our way. XYhile going along the railroad track, we found a patch of wild strawber- ries and they were so large and ripe that it was impossible for us to pass on with- out picking them. So. while we were picking and eating those blushing berries. those of the Agriculture Class were examining corn, ryle and other farm crops. NYe were very glad we were not in the Agriculture Class just then. After finish- ing thc berries we went on until we came to a place where a bank of clay was formed on one side of the track. A large rock was projecting from the bank, and Leah, Myrtle and l were assisted to the side of it, standing there with our feet buried in the clay. we had our picture taken. Going on a little further we came to a bridge under which a clear stream of water passed. Looking down from the bridge, we saw a large rock which was shaded by the bridge. and as we were tired and it was rather hot, we decided to go down and sit by the stream and wait for the others to catch up with us. Ville were caring for part of the things we were to have for our dinner, and discover- ing that the sour pickles were in our charge. we opened the package and ate of the pickles. At last we became restless and tired of waiting, so we startedaon. We followed a road which took us to a large and beautiful farm house. A large I dog ran out at us, somewhat frightening us for a short timc, but on learning that he was not vicious, we stopped and petted him awhile and then went on through a gate and came to an irrigation plant, which Mr. Doran later explained to us. A little farther up the hill we came to a very large rock. which we after- ward learned was the largest rock in XVest Yirginia. lly the side of this rock were several large shade trees, and sitting down there we waited for Mr. Doran and the Agriculture Class. :Xt last we saw them coming around the bend, and when they came to where we were they told us of an adventure they had with a snake. After resting for some time we girls began to prepare the dinner. XVe placed our table cloth on the grass and then placed our food on the cloth. Our dinner consisted of baked beans, potato salad. pickles. meat-loaf. buns, pressed ham, bread, butter, lemons, cake and bananas. During our dinner we each took a large dill pickle, and, sitting in front of the rock, Xlr. Doran took this picture: . .Xller dinner was over and the things had been placed back in the basket, l three of the girls with an equal number of boys got on the rock and had this pic- ture taken. .-Xt last the boys and llr. Doran started for a ramble through the woods. 'llhey went about a mile and a half from where we were to see the house where Mr. Mooney had been shot by a boy from Steubenville. Wlhile they were gone we girls went down over the hill to the creek. where we enjoyed ourselves by wading. The creek was not very deep. but the water was clear. The trees along the bank and the bridge afforded us shade, so it was very cool, and we had great fun trying to catch crawfish. When we thought it was about time for the boys to come back we went once more to our resting place, and after eating our lunch started for home. After traveling for a short distance we came once more to the little school house where we stopped to rest a while. A foot race was run there, in which Leah Pendergraft was victorious.. After taking a picture of Gilbert Fleming and Nr. Doran eating baked beans. and also several other pictures, we once more started for home. After crossing the bridge and once more stepping into the State of Ohio, we decided to walk the entire distance home. So. with the exception of two of our boys, we walked all the way home. reaching there about 7 o'clock. lVe were all very tired and thenext day it was hard for us to keep our eyes open long enough to study. llut with all that we had a delightful time and I hope our class will go'on a trip this spring. lt we do l am sure we shall not be sellish, but will invite the last year's and perhaps the next year's Agriculture Class to go with us. D. R. .7-Xthlvtira ln the spring of 191-1 -llrilliant made her lirst attempt in the iield of ath- letics. .-Xt that time we organized a baseball team and played our neighbors, the Addition, three games. Our boys have always regretted that first game. and even the i'Xddition, or the XVells 'llownship High School boys, admitted that we did not receive fair treatment at the hands of the umpire.

S As you see, we have as yet failed to make good in athletics, but we trust that that same persistency that brought the school through a period of degeneras tion may bring our athletic teams through this period of discouragement to a place wherle they may be recognized as a successful association. Monday night, February 1, 1915, under the guidance of Professor Doran, the llrilliant team went to ltellsburg to battle with the Boy Scouts: but a series of plays and excellent team work on the part of the Scouts easily placed them in the lead. and as the whistle blew at the close of the game the score stood 36 to 22. However. the llrilliant boys did not fail to make a showing in the Hrst half, as they held their 'opponents to the small lead of 12 to ll. liut as the second half began the visitors were a The lineup follows: Brilliant. trille nervous and their host walked away from them.

Referee, Jacobs. lint defeat was not the only thing that faced the visitors that evening. The ferry between llfellsburg and llrilliant had stopped running at 8:00 o'clock, so nothing was left but that the boys must spend the night in the neighboring state. The Hamilton Club came to the front at this scene of the drama and placed a room at their Ohio friends' disposal. ln a short time the boys were gathered in their cozy little room and the roll call showed that Guy Smith, Clarence Mans-- field, Rex Edwards, Ross lVilson, Clyde Dickson. Howard Dickson. George Hathaway. Audrey Hathaway. and Xliallace Rine were present with their director. lllr. james l.. Doran. Robert Harris was the only one who had chosen to spend the night with relatives rather than share the fate of his less fortunate school- mates. However. his place was not left vacant, as Mason Wfade. a boy from Bril- liant, but who played with the llfellsburg Scouts, was also compelled to stay in lllcllsburg. and so cast his lot in with those whom he had helped to defeat. Having thus assembled together they immediately set about to prepare for the night. The gymnasium mats were brought in and placed upon the Hoor, some coats, sweaters, etc.. were brought out. and soon everything was in readi- ness. Everyone found his place and they were about ready to extinguish the lights when someone happened to suggest something to eat, and immediately ten voices went up expressing the same thought. So Howard Dickson and Rex Edwards were dispatched to secure the desired food. As pay for their errand the boys each got a piece of pumpkin pie besides the amount allotted them as members of the group. The food having been eaten, the boys got their places and were then enter- tained by the wholesome mirth and humor of Mason Wade and Vlfallace Rine. .Xt 12 o'cloek Rine resigned his place on the entertaining staff and Guy Smith was elected to fill the vacancy. The new man had scarcely taken his place when he. with his colleague, lVade. retired to the Scout's club room to partake of the con- tents of a sack of candy, which was their remuneration as the evenings enter- tainers. While in the club room the boys replenished their entertaining capacity by reading some of the splendid literature found there. ' During the absence of the official entertainers no one was elected to take their places and general quiet prevailed. lint after about forty-tive minutes Smith and XYade returned. They were full of ideas and they set about cracking jokes. This they kept up for about two hours. This part of the program was supplemented with an occasional joke from other members of the party and so well was the time spent that in telling of it afterwards, to those of the party who had gone to sleep. the boys told that they had not changed entertainers since Smith had taken the place and that they were in no hurry to do so as those were certainly good crackers. At 3 :OO .'X. Xl.. Smith was succeeded on the hoard of entertainers by Mr. Doran. lloran and XYade then chose to entertain the group with two debates. one on the Literary Test, the other on Religion. For two hours they argued pro and con, but no decision was given as the judges had gone to sleep long before the argument was tinished.-s lt was tiiena little after 5 :OO o'clcck. so the boys decided they had better begin to make preparations for their departure. So all were called and soon the room was back in shape as though no one had used it as a bed-room. XVhen the boys got out on the street once more they found that a damp rain was falling and that the river had raised to such an extent that the ferry has not started, so our young heroes had to take a car for the XVabash llridge, where they soon crossed to their home state and caught the next to the last car tthe later cars having stopped running because of high waterl, for llrilliant. . 'llhe boys were all home in time for school and were soon out of all rol- licking thoughts. lint the night of adventure told on them and the day that fol- lowed was long and tiresome to all concerned. Yet we doubt if any of them will ever forget that night in XVellsburg, and all have expressed themselves as having a very delightful time. 'llhere are one or two who doubt that Mr. Doran had a delightful time, as Mason XYade found it was necessary to tie his feet together, for when he slept he spread them apart and then there was not enough room for the rest of the crowd. lint Mr. Doran took it in a good humor as he did every- thing hc could for the interest of the team. We wonder how the Klingo teachers found Klason llfade in his work the next day, as he was the only one who served all night on the board of entertainers. llut perhaps the same reason that made it possible for him to stand that strain st: much longer than any of the rest would enable him to keep up for his school work. 'l'he reason he was so much stronger than the rest of the crowd was that he was the only one who had onions with his sandwich for supper. 'llhe boys wish to exteml their appreciation to the llantilton Club for the hospitality and courtesy shown them while in the little city across the river and to assure their hosts that it has taught some of their players a lesson. as one. XYallace Rine. will not again put on his overcoat and hat and then walk under the shower. for now' he knows what a shower bath is. A great amount of fun was poked at the boys when they got home and someone has said: Those lirilliant boys are centainly crackers. Xlihether that is so or not. we know that most of them were part crackers by the time they reached home. i T ntvrtainmvntrf sinh Svnrial 7 umm Wie claim for ourselves an originality in school life and entertainments and are glad to set the precedent for any of our neighboring schools.

Robert Faulkner had been catching flies, when Mr. Doran noticed what he was doing: so, calling him to attention, he gave the following lecture in the form of a reprimand: Robert, I am surprised at youg I should think that a boy your size would be ashamed to kill an innocent little tly. You are certainly old enough to know that the same God that made you made the little tly and that he loves it as much as he does you. I-Iowever, it seems as though the little insect is despised by everyone and as it has neither father nor mother to take its part, I should think that you, a young Senior, would like to take your stand for the right and protect G-od's creatures. Throughout this discourse Robert remained speechless, occasionally nod- ding assent to the professors words. .llut no sooner had Mr, Doran turned his back to the school than Robert was at his old prank. I-Ie soon caught a fly, and, placing it on the palm of one hand, he gazed piteously at it, and as he did so in words audible to those near him, he gave the following words of consolation to his little captive: Poor little Hy, nice little ily, you haven't any father, any mother, any brothers, any sisters. Nobody likes the little Hy but God: God likes the little fly -then, striking the other hand down upon the tly, he continued: Go to God! All was quiet in the school room. Everyone seemed engrossed in study. Suddenly Irwin Pendergraft raised his hand and asked: XVhat is the capital of Maine ? A Mr. Doran: 'Z-Xugustaf' Irwin: 'Ilhat's what I thought. And what is the capital of New Ilzunp- shire ? Mr. Doran: Concord, Irwin: 'I'hat's what I thought. And then proceeded to ask the capital ofanother state, and so he continued, taking the states in order until he had got- ten so far down the Atlantic Coast as Florida. To eachof these querries Nr. Doran replied with the capital of the state in question. Each time to his response he heard the same remarks: K'That's what I thought, from Irwin. So, becoming somewhat disguested when Irwin asked: VV hat is the capital of Florida ? Mr. Doran replied with the following question: XY hat do you think I am, a fool P Again Irwin replied with the same words: 'I'hat's what I thought. 221 X S S as Mr. Doran was hearing the class in Agriculture and was explaining to them how skinswere used for leather, when Dottie Ruckman began to question him and the following dialogue ensued: Dottie-So you say all skins are used for making leather? ' Mr. Doran-Yes, ma'am! Dottie-lAVell, how about banana skins? Mr. Doran-Oh, they're used for making slippers. Mr. Doran was illustrating the magnet, but found that it would not attract the attention of any of the class but Leah Pendergraft. This was probably due to the fact that she is part Steel. :Q s s s :zz Wihen Uldene Vermillion came to Brilliant, Gilbert Fleming and Robley Robinson were overjoyed, and each began to comment on when they would take her for a quiet walk some Sunday afternoon. Gilbert was the Hrst to make known his desires and so was the first to be permitted to walk with her. Robley, finding himself thus ontwitted, decided to follow at a safe distance so as to see and hear all that might transpire, and yet not be discovered by them. This is the story Robley brings back: F or a considerable length of time they journeyed along the road without saying a wordg at last they came to an orchard, a favorite resort for young lov- ers: then L'ldene broke the monotony by saying: 'Let's go over and sit down under an apple treef 'All right, was all Gilbert said: llut they climbed the fence and went over under a tree laden with green apples and sat down. There they sat for almost an hour without a word. Then, as the wind blew through the tree, making a low, murmuring sound, Uldene again broke the silence with the following words: 'Do listen how this tree moans and groans !' XVhereupon Gil- bert replied: 'Yes, and if you were as full of green apples as that tree is, you'd groan too l' it X . A RECIPE ron Krssits.

On Friday evening, April 9, 1915, the old graduates of the llrilliant High School met at the school building and then decided to form themselves into a permanent organization. They then elected James L. Doran, 1'resident. and Mary Dean. Secretary. The society then voted to accept the invitation, from the Senior Class of 1915, to submit their separate class histories and participate in the publication of the tirst issue of Tint liRlLLl.XX'l'l.XN. The historians from each class were then elected andinstructed to not only prepare a history of their class, but to secure the pictures of each member of the class and submit the same to Mr, The historians elected were: Doran.

The well-laden tables. the bright crowds around them, The jocular words that continually flowed, The toasts and the humor with which they abounded, What seed of enjoyment tonight we have sowed. Such an event was never before known to occur in Brilliant. Councilmen, ministers, members of the Board of Education, teachers and alumni were present to welcome the Graduates of 1915.

XVe learn that since the organization of the High School there have been 51 graduates and of that chain of 51 only one link has been lost, and now the other 50 have been welded to- gether for the buildingof a greater l-ligh School, and of course they will do it. What can't 50 do banded together for a worthy and deserving purpose? Vtfell, they say there was speech-making galore, so that when Mr. Clock raised his hands toward heaven the alumni a11d their friends went their way ready to vote that this was the greatest event in the history of .llrilliant High School. Much of the credit for the successful conclusion of organizing and perfecting the first alumni of the school is due to Mr. Doran, Superintendent, but many of the older graduates went at the work with a zeal that knows no such thing as failure, and to them nmch of the credit belongs.

T OLD THINGS PASSED AXVAY Old things passed away. There is a tinge of sadness in this subject. How we delight to hark back occasionally to things, conditions, methods, forms and customs that the withering hand of Time has ruthlessly destroyed. The olQl hearthstone is being superseded by the gas stove and the heating furnace. The old family horse and buggy is crowded off the highways by the automobile. Even the old-fashioned courting period, marriage, iinfarv and serenade seem to have given way to the more modern eight-week, fancy-Hirtation, justice-of-the-peace. divorce, ready-to-try-it-again method. In most cases, however, the evolution of tinfe gives us something, newer, fresher, more elevating and generally superior to the f'Old things passed awayf, If my brief time permitted of comparisons, there are evidences by the score of advancment socially, intellectually, educationally, industrially and in most every way. To Prof. James L. Doran is due the credit of introducing to this little vil- lage of Brilliant a custom 'of which we will grow prouder as the years go by. I predict that it can and will be said of him in after years that he builded better than he had ever dreamed. ,ln an incredibly short time it will each year be a delight to look forward to the alumni banquet. It will be the time for the reuniting of the scattered ones-the time for the rekindling of the old embers of the fire of friendship that l1ad been smouldering almost to the expiring point. This institution of an annual alumni banquet being born around this festal board tonight, will stimulate beyond measure as the years come and go. the ambi- tion of young folks to continue their studies until graduation. Our fond recollec- tion of this-our first alumni dinner-is best expressed in the words of the poet Moore when he was inspired to pen those magnificent and immortal lines: SWI-Il'I'l' Ri':MliMnR.xNclfs. Let Fate do her worst: there are ielics of joy. llright dreams of the past, which she cannot destroy: And which come in the night-time of sorrow and care. And bring back tl1e features that joy used to wear: Long. long be my heart with such memories filled: Like the vase in which roses have once been distilled. You may break. you may shatter the vase, if you will, lint the scent of the roses will hang 'round it still. b .l.ll:1.Li-2 GILcmus'r, '0l. COMMON SENSE. There is a new religion. lt has come without blare,of trumpets. without arguments, without shoutings, agitation or violence. This new religion is slowly. but surely, conquering the world. lt is being preached from every pulpit and is being advocated by all the rabbi priests, preachers and teachers in Christendom. lt is so reasonable. so gentle. so simple aml yet so eisticacious that it is being ac- cepted without opposition-yes, with hardly the realization that it exists. In form the old doctrines remain. but they have become honeycombed with doubt and were hardly sufficient to meet the needs of an adolescent race. The old is being interpreted in the light of the 11ew. From the ruins of the past, material is being snatched to construct the edifices of the new. This new religion assumes that that which is good in this life, must be good in another. lt deals with but one world at a time. The object of its chief concern is humanity. It does not offer to make peace with the skies. but shows that man's chief success is in making peace with his neighbor. lt is a religion of self-preservation and thus has made the strongest passion of the human heart. its ally. Curious-ly enough the'men who have accomplished most to bring this reli- gion about are not conscious that they are religious in their tendencies, actions or mode of thought. The new religion is not a revealed religion in the sense that it has been whispered by the Inhnite to one or two. lt has been born in the mul- titude and practical men of the world are its chief promulgators. It requires no interpretation, explanation, or defence. It came in with the one-price system, it was accepted when honesty was discovered to be an- asset. lt recognizes the l.h'otl1erhood of Man and is built on the solid bed rock of the welfare of the race. Lies lead to destruction 5 nothing pays but truth. ln transactions of every kind and nature both sides must profit. , This new religion tends to eliminate fear, doubt, hate and prejudice. It has sympathy, imagination, hope. faith and love. lt has the power to put itself in the place of the other person. ln it there is no tyranny, no force, no threat. It wins only by its innate nature. 'Those who practice it must thrive. Through it the world is being redeemed. Sickness, distress, regrets, misunderstandings. sorrows, before it Hee away. The chief charteristic of this new religion is its antiquity. It has alfvays been known by the elect few. llut non' the masses are accepting and practicing it in their lives. lt is taught in all public schools, in busi- ness colleges, in shops, stores, factories, banks, and. what means most to us, in every day life. lt is practiced on the great railway systems, in the plants of our immense steel industries. and is understood by those who sow and reap. This is the religion of Common Sense. lts tenants are industry. economy, efficiency. expediency, reciprocity. appreciation. good cheer, co-operation, illu- mined by the all-powerful light of brotherly love. XVhile we find devotees of this new religion in all walks of life. and the army of its disciples is vast, there is yet much to be done. The Evil One, seeing that about to take place which he fears most, is bending every energy to combat this awakening of mankind. Satan has always known his limitations. lt is only 'IlIfIll- who has been ignorant of the fact that evil has no power except such as man himself has given it through lack of understanding. Men of common sense may vary in ability, but this is always true: they are safe men to deal with, whether they be drivers of drays, motormen, clerks. cashiers, or presidents of railroads. Paranoiacs are people who are suffering from fatty enlargement of the Ego. They demand obeisance, bouquets, and compliments. They are the an- tithesisgof the Common Sense men. They imagine that they are being wronged, that the world is down on them. They have grievances., not principles. ' - Thieves have a habit of shouting that they have been robbed. Anyone who steals your dog will call you a thief as long as he lives. Men of common sense are not given to accusationsg they are usually too busy. They are more interested in doing their work than what other people will say about it. They do not play to the gallery. They act their thoughts, and think little of the act. The paranoiac almost without exception is one who has been made exempt from useful work. He has been petted, waited upon. coddled, cared for and smiled upon. There can be no doubt but that the antique idea that the child must work for his parents until he is twenty-one was a great deal better for the youth, than to let them think that the parent must work for them. Nature intended that we should all be poor. That we should earn our bread every day before we eat it. XVhen you find a common sense man you will End one who lives simply every day, no matter what the state of his finances may be. Any man who thinks he has the world by the tail and is about to snap its head off for the delectation of himself and friends is unsafe, no matter how great his genius. The common sense man does not spend money until he earns it. lile pays N. his way. He knows that nothing is ever given for nothing, and keeps his hands olf other peoples property Men who by habit of nature are untrue to a trust are dangerous just in proportion as they are clever. The world needs a university devoted to turning out safe men instead of merely clever ones, common sense men instead of learned ones.

SUPPLEMENT TO DATE. In the fall of 1915 in anticipation of the incorporating of the Addition, which took place in january, 1916, the Wfells Township High School was merged into the Brilliant High School, and the building at the lower end of town deter- mined upon as the place for the location of the High School. The Board of Education, remembering the rivalry that had existed between the two places, and desiring an amicable settling of affairs, decided to let Prof. C. 1. Britt, who had been principal of the XV. T. H. S., become principal of the B. H. S. Ever anxious for the welfare of the majority, Professor Doran consented to this change, and agreed to devote his energies to the eighth grade for the year 1915-1916. As a result of the change the following pupils, who have been aforemen- tioned, dropped from the school's enrollment, most of them finding it more con- venient to board the street car and go to Mingo Junction, than to walk to the lower end of Brilliant: DOTTIE RUCKMAN, '16 PEARL BELVILLE, '16 GILBERT FLEMING, '16 MARIE STINARD, '16 IFIRXVIN PENDERGRAFT, '17 BRILLIANT, OHIO Chose to enter the Carnegie Mill at Mingo Junction instead of entering High School.

Doran. to a literary contest, but, mindful of the over- whelming defeat sulfered at the hands of the eighth grade at the school exhibit February 19, 1916, it was thought best not to attempt anything in the way of contests with persons that were everywhere acknowledged as pupils of superior ability. The eighth grade, not to be deprived of an opportunity to show its ability. next threw down the gauntlet to the Smithiield eighth grade. This time -they vteie accepted and on May 17, 1916. the two schools will meet in the Brilliant lowu Hall to contest for honors in the following items: Choruses fone eachl.
