Itiddlcsburg, Pa. The Interest he manifested in the affairs of the company and community was so great, and Ids work so well done, that four years later he was made su|«erintendent and general manager of the comimny at Ulddlesburg. For 50 years he was associated with the Kemble Co., which Is now the Colonial Iron Co., in an official capacity, as accountant, superintendent, manager, or advisor. Itut the service for which Mr. Lauder will Is longest remem- liered and which should Ik most appreciated by the boy and girls of Broad Top Township Is that which In , as a school man. gave directly to his own district ami Indirectly to the county and the Commonwealth. For 25 years he served the district as a echo'd director, always planning and often sacrificing much needed rest that the Imys and girls of the future might have equal opportuni- ties and might have access to the 1m sj training possible. He was a man with a vision, always from 10 to 20 years ahead of Ids day. Because of this he was often severely criticized, and for which the future generations will call him “Messed.” Mr. Lauder wns instrumental in providing free text book and a seven months school term a number of years Ik fore the Commonwealth made them a requirement. In 1 90. he persuaded his board of directors to give the schools of Broad Top Township the Ik im IBs of load supervision on a system entirely unique in the State. With the Introduction of local supervision in tin dis- trict his dreams «.f better things educationally began to crystal- lize when he frequently met with the teachers in their local In- 'Unites, and educational conference , at which gathering � he would make speeches on educational subjects. Through this ex- |K rlen« c he became accustomed to sinking In public and thus pre|Nircd himself for larger service. In 1903, In read a paper at the Bedford County School Directors Convention strongly em- phasizing the need of a revision of the School Iaiw «� f Pennsyl- vania. and recommended that a commission l e a pointed by the tiovernor of the State to go over the whole situation and report Its findings to the legislature. As a result of this paper. the present School Code was (Missed in 1911. which has revolutionized the school system of Pennsylvania. Mr. Lauder was a member of the School Commission and for ten years he was a memlier of the State Board of Education. In closing, we wish to quote from an article written by Hr. .1. tieorge Becht and found in the Pennsylvania School Journal. March. 1921. issue. In which he says f Mr. Lauder: “He was an active, energetic, |N rsonal force in promoting every plan and enterprise that tended toward tin public good. In all tlie public and semi- public positions he held, he regarded with keen Intereat the wel- fare of thoae whom he served. Church, school, and other social philanthropic institutions were the recipients of his lienefaction . His splendid | ersonulity made him hosts of friends. T’nassum- ing. loyal, openhearted. in met men on tls level of a common humanity, and with his own hands ministered to their needs. He will Ik greatly missed in the circle of his home and friends, hut he will ever live in the minds and heart of those who came with- in the range of his influence.” Page Three Ifnmunrft In publishing this second number of the Broad Top Microcosm as it now is. the Class of Twenty-nine was prompted by two major motives: To create a more worthy picture of our stay in Broad Top which would be a source of many pleas- ant memories, and in so doing, to produce a year book which would really be worthy of the school it represents. The task, though pleasant, has not been an easy one. and we are conscious of having fallen short of our mark. If, how- ever. by our example we have established a precedent where- by some succeeding class will publish a year book which will be an adequate tribute to their days in Broad Top, we shall consider our efforts well expended.

Page Twenty Senior Glass There was never a brighter nor a happier group of high school students ever entered B. T. H. S. than that which entered for the first time in the fall of 1925. Eight long years had been spent in that little insignificant place known as grammar school, or more often called common school. But at last we had emerged from the underworld and were coming into the open to show our community what we knew. Some of the upper classmen were imperti- nent enough to call us green. Green! There was nothing green about us. Why, we could have given them some very wise counsel had they been so kind as to ask for it. But for some peculiar reason they wanted to hand out advice and rules to us. The first few days were very thrilling in- deed. Every one who has attended high school has some idea of the cause of these thrills. In Grammar School we were under one teacher, and in a very short time we should learn to pull it over on that unfortunate individual. Rut in High School we were confronted by five teachers, which meant that we would have to get down and dig for at least the first few months; after that we could probably bluff the rest of them. Alas! How ignorant we were. Then, too, traveling from one room to an- other was very dangerous and confusing, for often we tried to promote ourselves by going into one of the classes of our upper-classmen. Of course we were demoted quickly enough. Another experience which stirred us deep- ly was the introduction to our new friends, namely Latin. Algebra. General Science, and tSistnru Civics, and of course English was merely an older member of the grammar family of which we had made the acquaintance in our earlier school life. And now- for a brief sketch of that iron- clad faculty which we were doomed to obey during the first year of our High School career. Mr. C. H. Zimmerman was our principal. We had no class under him. but we were in his room several periods for study. Miss C. S. Little taught us Civics the first semester and World History the second. Mr. Sheetz was very highly honored by being our home teacher and faculty adviser, besides teaching us Eng- lish. Latin. and Algebra. Miss Fitzgerald was another member of the faculty, who was very badly slighted. She did not have the privilege of teaching such an illustrious group. Last but not least is Mr. Funk. He taught us Gen- eral Science. The only time any of us would admit we were green was the forty minutes spent in his presence. Then we were scared green. He was one of those 6 ft. 200 lb. men. and when a gave a command it was done wfith a hop, skip and a jump. Before proceeding farther you must be acquainted with some persons of our class. We had two giants, namely, Charles Barton and Donald McIntyre. Several midgets. Walter Foster and Joseph Waterloo. Joseph stayed with us only two years. There are many other characters who could be portrayed, but you have most of them in the pictures, which serve better than this description. And then began that memorable year of Page Twenty-one 1926-27. We had all new teachers except our our principal. Mr. Zimmerman, and to make it more lively we had a class under each teacher. Mr. Zimmerman taught us Caesar’s Gallic Wars, a study which we all adored! Mr. Salem taught us Botany and Biology, and Miss Hess taught English. Though none of us will ac- knowledge it. English was one subject that we all studied, for Miss Hess was the type of teach- er who catches and holds your admiration dur- ing your whole contact with her. Miss Conlon taught us History and Miss Maurey taught Plane Geometry. As we look back over that year we feel that fate played a very mean trick upon those teachers. All the new teachers were inexper- ienced in teaching, and we feel that though they may teach for a hundred years more they will never have as rich an experience as they had during that year in B. T. H. We now look back to that year and feel that it was an ideal year of school, for we cer- tainly taught those teachers that teaching is not a bed of roses. However, what they learn- ed from us was not of the highest type of edu- cation. That year we worked harder to get out of work than we worked at our lessons. The motto of our class was “Where ignorance is bliss ’tis folly to be wise.” At the end of our Freshman year a few fell under the load and were obliged to wait until the next caravan came along, but not so at the end of our Sophomore year. We all got through with flying colors. This was an exceptional year for scholarship in our class; there were only about three who did not pass all five courses, and they flunked but one subject. It was not the fault of the teachers that they did not pass in those courses, but of course there are some who do not make the best of an op- portunity. True to the old proverb, “A good begin- ning makes a bad ending,” our last five weeks of school were unpleasant ones. Our worries were all caused by a few rumors put out by the School Board. We were warned that the next year we would have a faculty that would make us work, with the emphasis on work! So we left school in May. 1927, feeling that the next time we crossed the threshold of B. T. H. we would have to roll up our sleeves and “dig in.” So with a heavy heart we said good-bye to our friends and bade our dear teachers fare- well. With a sigh of relief and a faint light of hope in their eyes, they also bade us farewell. With a very heavy heart we slowly ap- proached the school house after that short per- iod of suspense. We had a whole new faculty to face and we feared the worst. But, with all respect to them, they were not as severe as we expected. They were real good sports and jol- lied us along. We worked, but we found that work was not as distasteful as we had pictured it. But now I must introduce our faculty. Mr. Stone, the principal, was our Science teacher. Mr. Bair. Mathematics; Mr. Snyder, History and Social Sciences; Mr. Mowry, French, and Miss Shirk. English and Latin. It is unnecessary to give a minute descrip- tion of this faculty. It is enough to say that they brought us down to earth and gave us Page Twenty-two some very strenuous mental exercise. We can think of them as a stumbling block in our road to destruction. With but few exceptions, the year passed rather peacefully and uneventfully. Our class was well represented in the County Literary Contest and the Debating Team. We got sec- ond place in the inter-class athletic contest ar.d so sent representatives to the county track meet. Thus the term ended with very few re- grets and sorrows. A few of our members were detained in the Junior Class, but the most of us were doomed to be Seniors the next term. When school opened again in the fall of 1928 we welcomed back all our old teachers with the exception of Mr. Mowry. He was Charles Barton—“I love you, darling!” Emily Snyder—“Are you earnest?” Charles B.—“No. I’m Charles.” Florence F.—‘T could dance like this for- ever.” P. G.—“Oh, no! You’re bound to im- prove.” Miss Shirk—“How would you punctuate this sentence: “Kathryn a pretty girl is going missed by our class and by all the rest of the school. He had a joke for everyone and for every occasion. We wish him the greatest suc- cess and a long and happy life. Mr. Eckels was appointed to fill the va- cancy in the faculty and our Senior year has progressed rather smoothly. We were not able to show our literary ability very extensively, as the Debating Team and the County Literary Contest were both discontinued; but we are all well represented in the athletic contest. And now after four short, happy years in B. T. H. we must say farewell. We leave with the deepest respect for our Alma Mater, and we hope to be a success in life so that our Alma Mater can be proud of us. down the street.”?

It took us Freshmen quite a while to get used to the different rooms. After three months of school had passed, we elected our class officers. We were led by Robert, assisted by Mable and Coletta. A few of our classmates quit school and some who did very little studying stayed in the same class. But the majority became sophisticated Sophomores. This year our class has run rather smoothly. Two of the members have made a place on the Microcosm staff, which is quite an honor for under-classmen. This year we again elected new class officers, led by Coletta and assisted by Mable and Virginia. The Class of 31 intends to graduate with honors, which seems to be the one point every class is striving for.

The boys have been practicing every day under the leadership of Mr. Eckels. As most of the 1928 team was lost through gradu- ation. the coach is having a hard time molding a squad capable of carrying off any honors at the coming track meet. This, however, holds no fear for the boys, as they realize that the same situation holds true throughout the county. We do not know much about the chances until the Inter-Class track meet is held sometime the first of May. We have held over from last year’s squad two letter-men, namely. Fleck and Runyan. Fleck placed in the broad jump with a leap of 19-3. He has improved over this mark and has been doing around 20’ daily. Our chances in this event are about even. He also has a splen- did chance in the dashes. In the weights our chances are slim. Hop- kins and Foster being the most consistent per- formers. They say they will do their best, and what more is to be asked? We have no one to throw the javelin and our chances are about even in the shot. In the mile we have K. Smith and Wm. Hopkins training diligently for the honor of carrying away first place at Saxton. This is the first year they have entered the mile, but they are making fine progress and we have high hopes of one of them winning the event. Here’s hoping we have better success than we have had in the past. GIRLS’ TRACK TEAM As the Inter-class track meet has not yet been held, it is hard to tell who will make the girls’ track team, or how good they really are. Mr. Eckels (track coach) has been putting the candidates through some very hard practice, but the girls work patiently on. We have with us girls from last year’s team who came through with honors, namely: Vera Lundquist, Roberta Waite, and Coletta McCavitt. Coletta McCavitt placed first in the fifty-yard dash, with the time six and five- tenths seconds. We are hoping that this year she does as well. Vera Lundquist, Roberta Waite, LaRue Rankin, and Coletta McCavitt went around the circular track at Bedford so fast that we came in first in that event, winning the first cup that has been brought to Broad Top High School. LaRue Rankin has graduated, but we have other candidates who will try to fill her place. In the basketball and the baseball throw, we think we have rather good chances, as some of the students are making very good throws. When Broad Top goes to Saxton this year, where the track meet is to be held, we wish her all the luck in the world. He was staggering over the burning sands of the desert, gasping his last gasp. His last hope of finding water had gone. Then this joy- ful thought burst upon him. Grabbing his Waterbury watch from his pocket, he knelt down and took a long and refreshing drink from the main spring. Pag Thirty-flvo GIRLS' GLKK TU B I’hki Thirty-six THE GLEE CLUB We’re sorry that we cannot tell of the glorious accomplishments of our Glee Club. But nevertheless we have had a club and a very faithful one throughout the term. When Mr. Bair called for recruits to fill the vacancies made by the Senior class of the previous year, he was answered by a very jolly and enthusiastic group. But as was demon- strated by the soldiers at the beginning of the Civil War. these pupils required considerable training before they could do the work of a member of a first class Glee Club. The club at present consists almost wholly of Freshmen and Sophomores. In the begining of the year the Glee Club planned to present a musical drama. The funds received from this drama were to enable the club to attend a musical recital at Altoona. But to put over such a project would have taken too much time from the regular courses and it was dropped. However, the year has not passed without a public appearance. At the last meeting of the Parent-Teacher Association, the Glee Club gave several special numbers. Among them were some old time songs, some college songs which we adapted to our High School, and a beautiful hymn. We received hearty applause which was interpreted favorably. We may add a word of encouragement for our club. Since it is at present composed of Freshmen and Sophomores principally, we can promise a better glee club for the future. With- in the next four years, we will have as good a glee club as B. T. H. has ever produced. But do you realize how much more effi- cient our Glee Club could have been if each one of us could have had a musical background when we entered B. T. H. This whole com- munity is cheated out of the enjoyment and en- tertainment which it would receive from musi- cal recitals along with the other school pro- jects. How much more interesting our pro- grams, given by the school, could be. if they were accompanied by good music from the high school. This could be accomplished if a musical instructor or supervisor were employed by the School Board. The duty of this instructor would be definitely defined. He or she would travel from school to school all over the town- ship and give lessons in music. This individ- ual should be prepared to give both vocal and instrumental training in music. The rudiments of music could be taught early in the grades. A musical aptitude could be built up from the early grades, as are those for the other studies taught in our schools. Thus until pupils reach- ed high school they would be ready for some intense training in music. For this purpose the instructor should spend one day each week at the High School. With such instruction, favorable results would be certainly secured. It would without a doubt cause some extra expense for the town- ship. but it would be something worthwhile. If our Glee Club is expected to produce better results, more extensive instruction must be given to each member of the club. Page Thirty EXPRESSION CLASS We all are familiar with the contest held in Bedford County in Elocution. Spelling, Gen- eral Information and Oratory. Mr. Bair was our coach for the contest and besides prepar- ing us for the contest, he aroused our interest in expression. When we heard that there would be no contest, we were too much inter- ested to drop it. So, instead of discontinuing our class, we have met once a week. We are advancing rap- idly because we are all interested. In our weekly meetings, we take turns in reciting some selection that especially appeals to us. and in this way we make that particular selection so much a part of ourselves that we shall always remember it. It is for this very purpose, rather, that we learn some of the best that men have thought and fill our minds with all that is beautiful and noble. Nearly all the members of our elocution club have recited a poem in public. Since our main object has been to keep in memory and express a poem correctly, we have nearly all done this by giving poems at short notice in public. We hope to be able to continue this class next year. When we have our class next year we wish to have a larger class. The pupils that belong to the class at the present time are: Fern Bussard Mary McIntyre Lovine Musser Charlotte Buseck Elizabeth McIntyre Mable Raker Janie Winter Alberta Hopkins Edith Deluke Margaret Satterfield Page Thirty-nine Page Forty THE SHAWNESE SEWING CLUB The Shawnese Sewing Club, directed by Miss May Kemp, of State College, meets once every two weeks. The club was organized February 5, 1929. and has since been doing some very nice work. It was named “Shaw- nese” in honor of a tribe of Indians which once inhabited the Broad Top regions. The officers of the club are as follows: President. Mary Mort; Vice-President. LaRue Long; Secretary, Fern Bussard; Assistant, La- Rue Hitchens. On March 16, the officers of the clubs in Bedford County met at the Pennsylvania Hotel. Bedford. Pa., to hold their yearly meeting, the Shawnese Club being represented there. There will be a camp for the members of the clubs this coming summer. The time and location has not been decided. The represen- tatives from the Shawnese Club will be Mary Mort and Edithe Deluke. The club will have an exhibition at th ? County Fair, which will take place the latter part of the summer. The members are: Helen Everhart Mae Eisenhart Catherine McIntyre Mary McIntyre Elizabeth McIntyre Dorcas Stunkard Neva Stevens Vivian Figard Lovine Musser Mary Mort Mary Foore Fern Bussard Leila Dixon Elsie Stunkard Edithe Black Agnes Allen Maxine Foore LaRue Long LaRue Hitchens Coletta McCavitt Dorothy Swartz Helen Snyder Alberta Hopkins Pngp Forty-one Millard F.—“I’d like to try out for the Senior play.” Mrs. McIntyre— What makes you think you can act?” Millard F.— I had my leg in a cast, once.
