Crab” is a happy, care-free lad whose main ambition was to get a passing grade in French without working. The time he thus saved he spent in making his classmates happy by elucidating in catchy, ludicrous expressions. Although morally and mentally straight, alas! we arc afraid he has drunk enough pop to kink the major part of his backbone. Crab indulges himself in a manner unbecoming; of a Senior by fancying strongly the girls of the lower classes and by working on his fancies. LAt'KA N FI ,S( N.

Laura is liked by all because she is wide awake, jolly, and an athlete. When we hear her laugh ringing through the hall we know we have missed a piece of fun. She’s an all around girl, we must say. She doesn’t mind the I mg walk she has to school, and It has no evil influence over her. Three cheers for Nelson. CLARKXCK GKTST Operetta 24; Boys' Chorus ’24. ’25. In the four years which Clarence has been with us i! � one has ever seen a frown or cross look on his face, lie is always cheerful and always has a ready smile. He has managed to keep this amiable and happy disposition desp.te the fact i hat he is the owner of a Ford. It was rumored when Clarence first came to us that he intended I eeomirg a minister. He was quite sedate and bashful for the first two or three years, but this year it is i oticad that he is casting Ins eyes on several of the ••harming fair ones of our class.

RUTH HETRICK General Course; French Club ’23, ’24; Girls’ Chorus ’22; Pageant ’22, ’23, ’24. Ruth is one of those girls who think silence i.s golden, but don’t forget, st 11 waters run deep. She is very studious and one thing is sure. Miss Truman never has to tell her she Isn’t working hard enough. Ruth lives quite a distance from school and yet she has a good attendance record. She has nothing whatever to do with the boys. We never could have gotten along wilh-out her in our High School class. EDNA MAYS Girls’ Chorus ’21, ’25; French Club ’24. ’25. Edna hails from Haren, forme lv Root Jack, but since they have improved roads Edna has no use for Boot .lack, but spends most of he t me in Brookville. Edna i.s well liked by all those wh) know her. as a true friend, always willing to lend a helping hand to those about her. KATHRYN McLAUGHLIN Girls’ Chorus ’22. ’25; Pageants ’22, 23. ’24; Athletic Association '24: French Club ’24. ’25. Yes, when Kathryn is not cross she’s alright. But did you ever give her an occasion to get cross at you? Well, if you would like t have a calling down just try to get saucy some day when she works in the Red Bank Telephone office. Kathryn i.s rather quiet, but through her high school course she has worked very hard and d d not wa t for one aero s the aisle to do her lessons but did them for herself. Page Eight L’ANNUAIRE DAN1RI. AFTON. “DAN Banquet speaker '24 Latin Club, ’23 A. A., 24, 25. •Dan is a big double fisted, big hearted fellow from Alaska. Yes. it gets so cold out there where he lives that he would have to use enough hot water to thaw the Ford out to come to school that it would make a good eruption of Old F'aithful of the National Park. Daniel’s not shedding any tears over the past but is looking forward to the time when he will be a member of “Tarzan Bailey's cabinet at the white house. The Class of Twenty-five wishes him the best of success.

Sure, Trix” is one of our basket ball stars, but I guess evervone knows it without saying it again. “Trix liked History pretty well, I guess, but she surely loved French best of all. Oh, well! She talks rather Frenchy anvwav. Yes, and I guess she’s counting on being a nurse. ' Oh! I don't wanna get well! We send our love and best wishes with our own dear little girl. CHARLES A’HARR ATI Member of Hi-Y ’25; French Club ’25; English entertainment ’24; Junior Class Play ’24. Charles was just a little fellow when he came to Birookvilie High School, but with his four years of good, hard work, earning “IS,” he has grown quite a few inches taller. He made quite a Hit in the English Entertainment. as Jeff, with “Herb” as Mutt. We all think he would make a very good “Math.” teacher, as he could even g to sleep with a Plane Trig, for a pillow, and dream of Mr. Henry’s test, which always included the six functions of an angle. SARA KROH Girls’ Chorus ’22, ’23. ’24. ’25; French Club ’23. ’24; Girls’ Hi-Y ’25; Athletic Association 24. In classes, Sara’s a quiet little girl with nothing much to say. But when she gets out of school. Oh Boy! ( But we like her all the more for it.) She gives her tongue full sway. (Ask Bee for particulars.) 1 ANNUM HE Page Nine HELEN McCLAIN Member of Girls’ Hi-Y; French Club ’24, ’2.r� ; In Pageants; High School Musicales: Member of Year Hook Staff. Helen is quite a poet, as you may see by reading this book. In which our class poem is penned. VVe like Helen for her kind, loving and generous ways. Her ambitions are high—to climb to the top of the ladder. She is an all around sport and takes her share of responsibilities as well as pleasures. Helen has a pleasing personality and is a true friend to everyone. We don’t know what she has planned to do. but we do know that her sunny disposition will make her road easy to travel. GERALD BREAKEY Assistant Treasurer of ’Owl ’25; H. G. T. C. ’24. ’25; Boys’ Chorus ’24, ’25; Campus Pageant ’23, 24; Hi-Y ’25; Secretary French Club ’24. ’25. Few of our class possess a mathematical mind. Gerald aids materially in remedying this deficiency. Gerald, while digesting physical laws and assimilating figures, also is helping others who are less fortunate in their mental make-up. Gerald will go on with his mathematics when he leaves Brookvilie High School by working toward a degree at Westinghou.se Tech. We wish him success. HELEN SUMMERVILLE, “SUMMERVILLE.” “OOP” Girls’ Chorus ’22, ’23; Secretary of French Club ’23: Captain of Girls’ Basket Ball Team ’23. ’24: Operetta ’22. ’24; .Junior-Senior Banquet Committee ’24; ’Owl Staff ’23; Pageants ’22, ’23, ’24; Athletic Association 24: Attended school eleven years without missing a day. Don’t overlook “Summerville,” the good-looking little girl done up in a small package, with lots of pep. Helen was our star forward in the Girls’ Basket Ball Team in 1924. When Helen came on the floor. the big girls sat up and took notice, as we say. She believes in the adage “Look into your vanity case before you leap. Her popularity was due to her cheerful disposition—a charm school in herself. '4 M THORNTON BOTTENHORN Hi-Y '25. Thornton, a fine, quiet young man. ned our class just this year. “Dock,” if silence were gulden, you would be a multi-millionaire. He reminds us of Coolidge, a wise old owl, because he received his E” alright. Never mind, the teachers never caught him talking, and that’s something they can’t say about Joe” Means. But iust the same we wish he had joined the class of ’25 in 21. Page Ten 1 ANNUA IRE JOSEPH MEANS. “JOE.” “FOGHORN” Vice President of Senior Class; Athletic Association: Vice President Hi-Y Club; Senior Class Play “A Pair of Sixes;” Varsity Basket Ball Team 25; Boys’ Chorus ’22. ’23. ’24.

Just look at the list of activities that head this and then form your own opinion of “Foghorn.” Although no beauty prizes have fallen to his lot we are sure “Joe” ha , a good show in that line. Anyway, “Joe” has a passion for very light-haired girls. Nothing is so congruent with his make-up as his nickname “Foghorn. Kind of handy to have a siren when you travel through a foggy river valley to call upon another species of siren. MATTIE SWINEFORD Girls’ Chorus ’22. ’23. ’24. ’25; French Club ’24; Operetta ’22, ’23; Athletic Association 24. “Patient of the toil, serene amidst alarms” Excitement may rage, storms may roar, and luck may go against her, but Mattie remains calm. We all admire, not only her beautiful hair, but her pluck and determination to succeed. HERBERT McGAUGHEY. “HERB”. HUB Athletic Association ’24, ’25; Boys’ H i-Y '25: Class Play ’25; Toastmaster at Banquet ’24; French Club '24. Track Team 25. Lean, long, lank Herb has inscribed a lasting mark in the hearts of all his friends. He is always there with a smile or a good natured laugh. Did you see him m our class play, and did you ever see him coming from Miss Truman’s room at noon? We wonder. HELEN GALBRAITH Pageant ’22, ’23; Girls’ Chorus ’23, ’24. ’25; Athletic Association ’24; French Club and Chorus ’24. Helen i«s going to Indiana Normal next summer; then she is gonna be a “School Marm.” “Deary O Me!” Did you ever see her smile, why you would never forget it if you once saw it. I guess “Hub” thinks quite a lot of it. Now I will take just a line and tell what she looks like. She’s not too tall nor too short, and the purty blue eyes, ’er are they grey? Her hair is almost red, but one would hardly believe it for she is happy and gay the whole long day, and never once in these four years has anyone seen a frown on her face. UA nnumre Rage Eleven PARKS RAIREY Roys' Chorus '25; Roys Hi-Y '25; Debating Club ’25. Year Rook Staff '25. Our rl;is-s just couldn’t get along: without Parks. Ho likes to talk, and what is more unusual, we like to listen to him. Who knows, perhaps some day be may become an orator. Parks put the life in our English and History classes. RERRE KERR Girls’ Chorus 22. '22. '21. '25; Operetta '22. 23; French Club '2 1, ’25; Athletic Association '24. Those who know Belle are impressed with a certain dignity about hei. No need t wonder why she is such a wonderful friend she gives unreservedly of her st ire of friendship. She is an ideal companion, sens ble. but full of fun. Ml PORED IIKUAI AN Girls Chorus 23, 25: French Club 25; Latin Club 23, 24: Athletic Association '24. A merry heart d � eth good like a med’eine “Wit is the essence of life “Another Algebra test this morning and 1 don’t know a thing.” That’s Mildred. “Some think .the world was made for fun and frolic, and o do 1. and so do I hums Mildred down the hall She is ever brimming over with mirth and fun. She N a friend to everyone in the school and especially to on -outside of school. RICHARD ART! ICRS. “DICK President ’22-’23; Pageant ’23-’24: Sophomore B. B. ’23: Operetta ’23; Cheer Reader ,23-,24-,25; French_ Club: Ran iuet Speaker '24; Athletic Association '24-’25: The Annual Business Manager; Hi-Y ’25. If you ever want to start anything just tell Dick He will start it and carry it to the finish as he did the Cheering Squad. We had a well organized squad, thanks to Dick. He has pep in the very tips of his fingers. He works very hard in school as well as outside He likes mathematics as well as some of the girD. Have you ever eaten his “sodas or sundaes at Craig’s Drug Store? Try some and you will immediately say he makes them as good as anyone else downtown. Page Twelve VANNUA IRK DeFORREST STEELE.

Far and wide we might search, but Forrest remains unparalleled. He has a personality distinctly his own. Did you see him play the i art of the lawyer in our class play? Like Addison, he plays the role of spectator and like him. lie has well defined opinions. The feminine sex has no attraction for him—lie's invincible. MARY ALICE STARTZELL. “ADJECTIVE” Girls’ Chorus 22, ’23: Pageants ’22. ’23, ’24: Operetta ’22, ’23: I anquet Committee ’24: French Club: Hi-Y ’25. Yes, of course she has to do something to pass the time, so she just writes notes or talks—sure, she studies some. too. You can always find her when she is wanted. Did you ever hear her laugh? You can locate her bv that if nothing else. Say, did you ever hear that other laugh. “Ha! Ha! ? Still, we must admit she is a very fine young lady, full of pep. and has been a great help to our dear old class. HENRY SILVIS Athletic Association. Hi-Y ’25. One of the cleverest and wittiest fellows in the class is Henry. Have you ever met him when he didn’t produce that charming grin of lvis and ask How’re ya? ' or when lie didn't have some witty retort to make to you? He has a disposition guaranteed not to wear, shrink or fade. Henry is another who came to us this year from Sigel. He lias been with us only a few months but he certainly has made up for lost time. Every member of the Senior Class knows and likes Henry. MABEL CRAMER Operettas ’22, ’23, ’24; Musicale ’22, ’23, ’24: Pageant ’22, ’23, ’24; Girls’ Chorus ’22, ’23, '24. ’25; Cheer Leader ’23, ’24, ’25; Latin Club ’23, ’24; Banquet Speaker ’24; Banquet Committee ’24; Athletic Association ’24; Assistant Business Manager of ’Owl ’24; President Girls’ Hi-Y ’25; Treasurer Class ’25; Class Play ’25; Annual Staff ’25. Hats off to the treasurer of our class. Mabel is a sample of real pep. It takes pep to make the band wagon go and she sure has it. We have never had any activity of any kind that Mabel has not given her suggestions. Have they ever been defeated? No, not to the knowledge of our class. She knows no defeat. After starting, she continues to the end. These are the characteristics of a leader. Obtain them and you will obtain the qualities she has exhibited throughout her high school career. In her classes she never needed to count the minutes until bell time like a few of the rest of us. You wonder why? Well, she always got her lessons, and therefore, excellent grades. We think Mabel is going to be a nurse. We hope she will be as successful in that work as she has been in her high school work. L’ANNUA I RE Pa ye Thirteen .JOHN TRUMAN. “SNIP Boys’ Chorus ’25; Basket Ball 25; Class Play 25; Boys’ Hi-Y ’25; Athletic Association ’25. That he was tHe handsomest prince in the world was agreed by man, and alas! by many women! Handsome, dauntless, without a care. He is possessed of talents rare. With the ladies he's more at home Than was our friend Will Honeycomb. Did you see him as “Tony In the class play? You missed something if you didn’t.

A good definition of Kathleen might be: Peg that prepossessing, powerful, pent-up portion of potential pensive power put into a proportionately puny package possessing a pair of pungent pretty lips. All swains will do well to plug their ears when approaching this serene siren. There’s something about Peg they all fall for. This something is not indefinable, but—. WAYNE HALL French Club ’24; Pageant ’23; Hi-Y Club ’25; Athletic-Association. But the little old Ford rambles right along Sometimes it breaks down, too, and then Wayne is late for school, and then he is sent to the office and has to write a composition, and all on account of his little old Ford. Wayne has it pretty well trained now though, so when he speaks it goes. He works hard and all the teachers like him. One reason is because he isn't so mischievous and another is because he is a good student. INEZ HOTTEL French Club ’23. ’24; Red Cross ’22, ’23, ’24, ’25; Sketch Club ’24; Pageants ’22, ’23, ’24. If Inez weren’t sick so much nobody could possibly beat her in grades. She has quite a walk to school so cold, stormy weather predicts that Inez shall stay at home. She doesn’t choose her friends of the male sex from school, but has her chosen few outside. We wish her success in whatever line of work she takes up whether it be matrimony or otherwise. Page Fourteen L} ANN U AIRE JULIA COULTER Girls Chorus '22: Pageants 22. 23: Latin Club 23. 24; Athletic Association 24: French Club 21. 25: Hi-V 25. Julia is the kind of student some more of us should be. She believes in the motto, Perseverance Wins. She does not let failure overcome her: on the contrary, she overcomes failure. She is not the kind who practices the idea of getting by. They always say people of few words are the kind of people who know somethin ?. Although Julia is rather quiet, she is charming and kind hearted, and well loved by all. MAXINE CARNES French Club 2 1. ’2.r� ; Latin Club 2 1: Girls' Chorus 25: Basket Ball 21: Year Book StafT 25: Athletic Association 24. “A blithe heart makes a beaming visage. When it comes to mischief. Max has it all over” on Puck. Her face may look solemn, but take a peep at her eyes. They will give you a due. But she can be serious. Look at her marks.

Mildred is one of the few who have been with us since the very first year. When we have been desperately in need of a new idea to be carried out she could always furnish it. She has been very popular in a social way and has furnished ns all with lots of fun. Mildred has highly developed imaginative powers and if you don’t believe it read some of the impossible things she has predicted in the class prophecy. GERALDINE BRIN K LEY Girls’ Chorus; Pageant: French Club; Debating Team; Year Book Staff; Class Play; Musieale. The human dynamo! Fire glints from her eyes and epithets tumble from her tongue -when she is debating. We are glad for Jerry’s” future, fortunate that her asperity is merely external. We hope that she will be able to knock historic incidents into the receptive minds of future students as well as she knocks down the statements of her opponents.

You should have been to the operetta. “Count” reminds us of the hexagon—so many sides. Actor, singer, athlete, and student, all crowded into one. Specialize. “Count.” and show us something. ALICE 9WINEFORD Girls Chorus ’22, ’23. 24, ’25: Operettas ’22. 23; Musicale 22. ’23: Sketch Club ’22. ’23, 24; French Club; Debating Club ’24. Bright blue eyes and curly hair. You can’t find a better friend anywhere. Alice, the girl with the curly locks, comes from the section of Brookville known as Belgiumtown. She has spent four long years with us. and we think very much of her. She is such a good sport, too. If she has anything she dislikes to do. she just goes right on and does it. Alice always studies and studies, but never mind if she does, you ought to see her grades. Some of the rest of us would be thankful if we had the grades she has. FRANCIS ALLSHOUSE Francis is a regular patron of the Hoodie-Bug. coming 1 n from Ramsaytown each day. He loves his books and his teachers, but is always glad when the gong rings at three-forty. He is a happy-go-lucky fellow and can always be counted on when there is some mischief or prank afoot, if at no other time. He always sees the funny side of the situation and when he sees it he is sure to laugh, even though he should get into a peck of trouble for it. ELLEN E. McNEIL Girls’ Chorus ’25; Operetta ’25. Many of the most talented of pupils who are graduated from Brookville High School come from schools out of town. One of the most talented of them is Ellen. There are some who surpass her in mathematics, but for a good, working knowledge, she is unexcelled. You have been a credit to Sigel, Ellen. We evince our friendliness by wishing you success. Page Sixteen L’ANNUAIRE LAURA GREENE Pageant ’22, ’23; French Club ’25. Laura went to Brock way ville her first year, but decided to come here and finish high school with us. Laura always has a ready smile for anything or anybody. She is a regular patron of the Hoodie-Bug. She was in the class of '24. but due to illness that year she missed practically the whole term. She decided to come back this year and brave the storm with the rest of us. Wherever there is a loss there is a gain, so the loss of the class of ’24 was a gain to our class. SARA RHODES Girls’ Chorus ’24, ’25; French Club ’24. ’25: Athletic Association ’24. “Merrily, merrily shall I live.” “Always the sunshine, never the rain.” says our Sara. What’s the use to worry, let’s take things as they come and go and be gay and happy. That’s Sara ell over, and did you ever see such a host of friends as she has? OVA UPLINGER Girls’ Chorus '22, '23, ’24. ’25; French Club ’22. ’23. ’24, ’25; Operetta ’24; Athletic Association ’21. The teachers are of the opinion that here is a model girl, indeed: but. between us. when she’s in a crowd— well, you’d be surprised! However, she has a deep appreciation of the serious things in life. too. FRED WALTERS Treasure of Hi-Y Club '24. ’25: Delegate to Hi-Y Convention ’24; Baseball Team ’24, ’25; Track Team ’22. 23; Basket Ball Second Team ’23. ’24; Athletic Association ’24, '25. Fred, the synonym for bubonic plague on hot grounders, is one of the most popular boys in our class as well as our best first-baseman. People often express the wish that those who really have talent for something might be searched out. If such a Utopian condition should ever exist. Fred will star as an acrobat or dancer. One look at his graceful body will suffice to convince critics. i L'ANNUM RE Page Re renter n WILLARD WITHEROW, “BILL Class President 24: ’25: President Bovs’ Hi-V '25; Manager Track Team '2 1; Vice President Athletic Association '24: Base Ball ‘22, ’23, '24.

Nothing has I een said about the medals he has won in track or in the Art class. Bill is a happy-go-lucky fellow with a perpetual grin, and say—did you ever hear that laugh? That laugh always brings merriment to a class ro m. He always is well stocked with jokes, but f � r all that he has a good head as well as a good heart. How could we get along without Bill?

Mary is a very sensible girl, and did n ' bob her pretty locks.

Well, he surely was a good butler, but he seemed t take to lovin’ better. Oh! I mean when Coddles wasn't near. Warren is one of the fellows who always pushes everything and helps to make every under taking a great success. He always worked hard in s.diool as well as down at “Means,’ ” and at a radio, too. and his efforts are not useless, for he makes a success of anything he undertakes.

Ge e came to us this year from Sigel. after completing a three-year course there. We do not know much about him except that he is rather quiet and does not seem to he given to rushing the ladies.

GRACE WILEY Classical Course: Member Girls’ Chorus; Latin Club ’23; French Club '24, Historical Pageant '24; Vice Chairman Girls' Hi-Y Club. Grace is our blackest brunette. Her hair is blacky Mack and her eyes snap and sparkle continually. She is here, there, and everywhere at once, and would certainly be heartbroken if she ever got anything but an E.” She is regular Latin shark, and we think some day she will write something better than Virgil’s Aeneid. EUGENE KUNSBLMAN. “GENE Latin Club ’21, ’22; Athletic Association; Class Play: Hi-Y ’25. Gene, the little fellow in size, but not in knowledge. We all feel sorry for Gene sometimes: so many think because he is so small he will stand for anything. But say! Do you remember the day in English class when he fooled Archie and some of the rest of us, too. I guess.

Yes. and in Geometry the little fellow sure knows how to handle the big propositions. VANNIjAIRE P ujc Nineteen CLAIR MEANS French Club; Base Ball; Boys' Chorus. Clair, we think, is going to make a second Babe Ruth. At least he is starting out that way. and we know he will not disappoint us. Around the ladies Clair is very bashful, that is, the ladies in school. Outside, we believe he is not so invincible. He is not a relative of Joe’s, but we think they would make a good pair. OLIVE HOTTEL Girls’ Chorus ’21. ’25; Red Cross ’21, ’25; French Club ’24; Pageants ’21, ’25; Operetta ’23. Olive is a good girl who likes her gum. She treads the well beaten path to the waste basket quite a few times in one week. One never hears Olive growling. Everything in her path seems to be sunshine and roses, or perhaps it is just her jolly good-nature that makes it seem that way. Whatever it is, she is an A-l scout and we hope she is as successful elsewhere as she has been in school. RAY BUZARL) Hi-Y; Operetta; Pageant '23; Athletic Association. Ray is one of those fellows who don’t have much to say but a lot to do. He is never to be seen without a smile on his face, and after all. that’s what counts. Ray is not only one person’s friend, but a friend indeed to everybody. We are not sure what Ray is going to do, but we wish him well whatever it may be.

She used to ride on the Hoodie-Bug. but when it became too crowded, she handed over her rights to some of the Freshies.

Queen has just been with us one year, and as our school year in good old Brookville High School is drawing to a close I know we will not forget that sweet personality of the “E” student from Sigel. because she was a cheerful helper, and iibout her we found no chilly ways, and wish she had joined us sooner.

EDITH BYERLY General Course: French Club '23. ’24; Girls' Chorus ’211 ’23: Pageant ’22, ’23; Athletic Association ’24; Latin Club ’23. ’24.

She is very ambitious to become a nurse. “All hail our little queen,” you will hear her patients say. as she climbs upon a chair in order to see her patient better.

Balma is a girl of high ambitions. “The early girl gets her lessons,” is her adage. Yes. she was our reference book and dictionary, and why? Because she studied her lessons and was a cheerful giver of anyth ng that would be of help or value to her school chums. She was always pulling some ioke that would make your sides hurt for a week from laughing. IRA BAILEY, “TARZAN “See the conquering hero comes with sound of fife and beat of drums.” There’s music in the air when Tarzan is around--and usually a crowd. It's his playing on the mouth organ that attracts. There would be a distinct void in our school life if Tarzan should be absent. Did you ever see a fellow hook his pencil in one of Tarzan's million and one curls? ADA JONES. “JONSEY Pageants ’22, ’23, ’24; Operetta '24; Girls’ Chorus ’24. ’25. Here is a girl who realizes the value of an education. She walks four miles to school. She has neither been absent nor tardy throughout her four years of high school, nor the two years preceding. We consider this a record well worth having. We are glad that anyone who has to come so far is so interested in getting a record like this. We feel certain that anyone with such a record will be a good teacher. This is the professi n she expects to follow. We wish her the best of success.

Well, now you’ve met the Junior class, And know just why they are leading; Now, don’t you think they’ll climb up fast And soon success lie winning? OH, WHAT A HOOK OF DREAMS I nervously pick up the Year Book, And right to 1925 I turned; Twas there all my interest centered, All other school items I spurned. I glanced at the opening verses, What a feeling of pride to me came! 'Twas one of my compositions, And there, on the front was my name. And lo! as T looked a bit further. My pulses beat quicker with joy, For one of my jokes was accepted; The feeling it gave me—Oh, Boy! ’Tis the same with good luck as mis fortune, Our class is always on the peak: I saw, near the end of the column, A jingle T sent in one week. Hut just then the gong rang loudly, And I heard Miss Reiclierter say, “Now that we’re through with Economics You can take Literary Digest the rest of the day.” L. E.

THINKING AND KNOWING Marie Snyder It is impossible to know a good many things and yet be shallow, inaccurate or incoherent as a thinker. It is also possible to not have much knowledge, and yet think accurately and connectedly on such matters as come within one’s range, though it seldom happens that a person with this capacity for thought does not rapidly extend the scope of knowledge. A statement, however, that seems to us wholly untrue, is this which occurs in the autobiography of one of the best known living Americans: “It often happens that a man can think better if he is not hampered by the knowledge of the past.” Perhaps what was in the eminent American's mind when In wrote the words, was the idea that the untutored intellect is more original in invention, more resourceful, more alert, than that of the man who has been educated by a study of the ideas and acts of other men. Even so, it is a singular hypothesis, and the weight of such evidence as history affords is all against it. Great discoveries have not been made by men who were entirely ignorant of the work that had already been done in the held in which they were laboring. Nor have great inventions taken complete form in the brains of men who had no knowledge of the appliances and devices of a kindred sort that had preceded their efforts to solve a mechanical problem. The seas of statecraft are strewn with the wrecks of those who ventured on them without the charts that the knowledge of the past might have supplied. The great works of literature and science and art, have not been achieved by men who thought that the knowledge of the past would hamper them rather than help them. The processes of creative power and labor are obscure, but the idea that the creative power of the mind is likely to be sapped by the exercise of ils acquisitive power is absurdly fallacious. The wider and more accurate a man's knowledge the more closely and cogently will he be able to reason.

Page Forty-Four L’ANNUAIRE CLASS HISTORY Twelve years ago, along about the Inst of September, many anxious mothers were awaiting the home-coming of their boy or girl from 11is or her first day at school. Miss Edna McNeil, now Mrs. Albert Baur, launched ns on our delightful, but sometimes stormy, cruise through the grades, .Junior and Senior High School. They say some people have tin patience of dob, but surely Miss Edna, as we called her, excelled even that good man. After we were convinced of the fact that we were in .school, and couldn’t do just as we pleased, we settled down and learned our A B C’s. Of course there were a few who wouldn’t be good if they could, and those few gained a reputation that lias followed them all through their school years. Most of us were passed at the end of our first term, and we all went home, proudly displaying our promotion cards to everyone that we met, to show them that we had passed into the second year. Ac the beginning of our secouu year, being uniter me .strict supervision oi Miss jN ancy Corbett, we ueciaeu to discard our babyish ways and tricks and get to work. e entered the mysterious realms oi other subjects, rather than reading the A B U s. At mid-term a few oi the class were promoted, but the majority ot us remained to complete the second grade. The end of the year soon came, and once more we carried our promotion cards home. The following year pupils of Longview were to join u,s, and we were glad to have an addition to our class. We entered the third year of our educational career under the patient guidance of Miss Helen Richardson. She didn’t believe in sparing the ruler, and many of us have painful remembrances of smarting hands and tired feet, from standing in the corner. At the end of the year most of us were passed on to the fourth grade. For the first half of the year Miss l: ANNUM UF Page Forty-Five Emily Lane was our teacher. We came to love her, and were really sorry when we were transferred to another room at mid-term. II was at this time that wo added a shy little girl to our ranks. She turned out to be Julia Coulter, who lias proved herself a faithful member of our class. Miss P ess Hamilton steered us safely through the last half of our fourth year, at the end of which our brilliant assemblage was passed over to Miss Mary Deiner for our fifth year of instruction. This was an eventful year. Tt marked the beginning of our first love affairs. Although not long in duration, they were exciting while they lasted. In spite of the fact that this was one of our happiest school years, we weren’t sorry when it ended, for our next year was to lv spent in the high .school building, and we felt quite dignified at such an honor. We didn’t learn much in the sixth grade, for the teachers changed hands so rapidly that inst as we were beginning to get accustomed to one we were presented with another. Miss Campbell was the first of the series, and as she wore a sparkler on her left hand, we knew we would not keep her long. She left us at Christmas time, and about six different teachers then followed in rapid succession, until Miss Effie TTaines undertook the position. She remained faithful to us for the rest of the year. Two new members, Ralph Clark and Inez Hottel were added to our class in the sixth grade. The year our class entered tin seventh grade was the year that we had Junior High in our school. And. oh, how delighted we were because we were going to change classes jus4 like the big kids did! It was quite a sensation to go to a different room for each class. Our teachers that year were: Miss Florence Moore, Miss Mary Millen, Miss Ruth TTauck and Miss Bess Hamilton. Tt was a wonderful year. A happy one because of the many delightful things that happened, and beneficial because of the many things we learned. Nevertheless, we shed no tears when we were forced to leave that year behind and enter a new stage of learning. At the beginning of the eighth grade we added Helen Summerville Marv Alice Startzell. Hick Arthurs and Kenneth Gearhart to our class Thov had decided thev didn’t like the class thev were in. so thev didn’t stndv and snent their second vear in eighth grade with the illnstrions olnss of h ont Christmas timo of ns Tt was Mabel Cramer who has been with 11s ever since and h- c-heeomo a vorv worth v mrnnW Hertrndn Hondvean also ioinml nn� nonVc ohonf that time Olir tonclievs tho + vnnv wore - Miss T?n,ss Hamilton Miss Marv SJihlov Mrs F.va Sutherland and Miss Hessie Chamberlain. At mid-term we began to stndv Algebra, in niece of Arithmetic—another step toward greatness, and how big it made us feel! At the end of that year, the l'mje Forty-Six L'ANNUA IFF greatest event in our school lives took place, namely: the selecting of our class officers, colors, and planning of the party. We selected Dick Arthurs a.s president, and black and gold as our colors. The class party was held at the home of Mabel Drainer, and in spite of some disturbances by other school mates, we had a wonderful time. The fall of 1921, a hundred verdant freshmen became members of Brookville High School. About oue-lmlf of our number was composed of boys and girls from the surrounding country districts. Oh, what humiliations and embarrassments we suffered during those first few weeks of our Freshman year! We were green in every sense of the word, and were made the target for insults of ail kinds from upper classmen. Hut we were bright, and willing to learn, and it didn’t take us long to become accustomed to our new studies. Everything went splendidly that year. Our subjects were easy, and our teachers kind. And so, the supposedly worst year of high school receded into the past, and we were advanced a step higher, into the Sophomore class. This year we wore to have a new professor. The first time we saw him, we looked in awe and wonder. To say the least, we were scared to death of him. Hut our fear soon wore off, for we discovered that In wasn’t the least bit harmful. Wo weren’t long in discovering that it was going to In an extremely easy year for us. .Miss Garth, our English teacher, was so kind-hearted that she couldn’t bear to see us study, so she let us recite with our books open. And Charlie Stratton, our Algebra teacher! Shall we ever forget the way he fired erasers at the boys and shook the girls? Hut, he, too, had a generous heart, and let even the dumbest slip through AIgebra. We also made our first acquaintance with Miss Reicherter that year, and the few who were accustomed to taking things easy found out that they were up against someone who meant business. Those unfortunate creatures w h o made some breach of conduct in her room didn’t often repent it, for they discovered it didn’t pay to “get caught twice in the same thing.” We bravely underwent the trials and tribulations of that year, and passed joyfully on to the next. At the beginning of this year we reorganized our class. Dick Arthurs was dethroned and Willard Withe-row took hi.s place as president of the class of ’25. We also selected our class rings, and such a time as we had! But after much arguing and disputing we pieked one which suited the majority of ns. They were ordered, and then began a period of watchful waiting until they should arrive. Compared to the others, this was an extremely peaceful year. Nothing of importance happened until about mid-term, when we packed our belongings and moved into the new building. We all thought it wonderful, and promised to help keep it so. And so, eleven years of our school life was L’ANNUA IRE Page Forty-Seven spent, and some were happy and some were sorry that we had just one more year to put in. What glory it was to he a Senior, and how those little Freshmen looked at us with envious eyes! Hut 1 don't believe we all understood the importance of our exalted position. The task of setting an example for the rest of the high school was imposed upon us, but I am afraid we failed utterly. The Senior year wa.s full of activities, too numerous to relate, and with our studying, and the many other things, we were a very busy group. Our school days were fast drawing to a close, and 1 fear that a great number of us were not so sorry as we should have been. As in all cases, it was a survival of the fittest. We had lost a few each year, but about seventy still remained in our group. The majority of our class will leave high school this year, but if, by chance, we leave a few behind, we wish them the best of luck for the coming year. LIFE Marie Snyder Man enters the world without his consent, and leaves it against his will. During Ids stay on earth his ime is spent in one continuous round of contraries and misunderstandings by the balance of the species. In his infancy, he is an angel; in his boyhood, he is a devil: in his manhood he i.s anything from a lizard up: in his duties, he is a foolish man. I f ho raises a family he is a chump: if he raises a .small check he is a thief and then the law makes a fool out of him: if he is a poor man he is a poor manager and has no sense; if he is rich he is considered dishonest. but considered smart: if he is a politician, you can’t place him. as In is an undesirable citizen. Tf lie coos f° church, he i,s a hypocrite: if he stays away from church, he is a sinner; if he donates to for- eign missions, he does it for show: if he doesn’t, he is stingy and a tight wad. When lie first comes into the world everybody wants to kiss him; before In goes out, they all want to kick him ; if he dies young, there was a great future before him ; if lie lives to a ripe old age, he is simply in the way, and living to save funeral ex peases. This life is a funny road, but we all like to travel it just the same. JUST SO Freshman—“I lull ?” Sophomore—“What?” Junior—“I didn’t hear (lie question.” Senior—“T did not comprehend the nature of the interrogation.” Page Forty-Eight 1 ANNUA I RE (11)35 A. I).) M VUU(KI) 1 )()NAFjI)SON I itllv glanced over the topics in 1 Ik newspaper. As I noticed some alumni news from Columbia University, my mind reverted to my own classmates of B r o o k v i I I e High School. Where were they all, and what were they doing? I turned the page to the theatrical news, and there I received a shock. For what met my eyes was this news item, with big letters: “Thornton Bpttenliorn, Famous Star, Making Personal Appearances in this City. Thornton Bottonhorn, a second Rudolph Valentino, is to make a personal appearance at each showing of his famous play, ‘Plunders of the Sahara.’ Mr. Bottonhorn is a native of Pennsylvania, and is a graduate of Brookville High School. It i.s reported that he is even more popular than the famous Valentino, and is now the most popular matinee idol o f the flappers.” S h a d e s of Circe! One of the quietest hoys of our class the second Valentino! Before I had recovered from my amazement, I saw another advertisement. Mack Sennett’s Famous Bathing Beauties were to he at the Rivoli and Ova Uplinger and Sara Rhodes were billed as stars! Outclass surely had its amount of stars. I had only been in the city one day, having only arrived there the day before, from Bermuda. I took 1 taxi downtown and a,s we slowed down near it crossing, T thought the traffic officer looked familiar. And sure enough, if it wasn’t Herbert McGaughey. Who could forget him? I wondered how he and Helen were getting along, and if she was as jolly as ever. T stopped at the Paris Modes Shoppe to get some frocks to take along on my trip to Washington and the South. T was in the show room waiting for the model to come with some gowns, and T casually glanced up. What T saw made me fall back into my chair, wondering if my eyes were as good as ever! Imagine my astonishment, for there T beheld Laura Green as one of the dress models. T was so amazed that T didn’t know whether the dresses were blue, or orchid or raspberry. L’A A XU. I IRE Page Forty-Xinr As I was going along the street I heard two men having a heated discussion, as to whether or not Ralph Clark was too much of a politician to he elected director of the “Dry Squad.” Ralph must have had too much pop when he was young. New York City certainly held many attractions for my classmates. Rut T did not have time to call on any as T was leaving for Philadelphia the next morning Nevertheless, that evening in one of (lie restaurants T met Gertrude Goodyear. She was accompanied by an elaborately dressed man. Gertrude introduced him as a Spanish count. My word, but he looked as if all lx were good for was to be an advisor on how to dress. Gertrude was the hostess at this fashionable place. Tn the course of the conversation she mentioned that the day before, she had been on a motor trip with tin1 count and she bad seen Julia Coulter coaching the girls’ football team at Barnard College. Quiet Julia, a football coach! Then a very flashily dressed brunette young lady came in and Gertrude hastened over to greet her. When she returned she was accompanied by tin young lady and her escort. The girl turned out to be Inez TTottel, one of my classmates. Tnez laughed and said she was just in from Chicago because one of her former suitors was suing her for breach of promise. This was only the fifth time she had been sued for the same thing! According to poets, everything must have an end, and fso that eve- ning ended. Early the next morning, I left the city. Going down through the country I noticed the large bill board advertisements. On one 1 saw advertised “Alice Swineford’s Hair Curler.” Evidently the artist had a wonderful imagination, for on one side was a picture of Alice with straight, hair, and on smother was her real picture with her curls as they were when sin wsis still in school. I immediately resolved never to believe smother sidvertisement. I became tired looking sit the passing scenery, so I purchased si magazine from the boy on the train who sold them. 1 flitted over the pages, and my mind was occupied with other tilings. 1 blinked my eyes. What was this? An article entitled “Tin Romance of Gsis Drilling,” or “How I Won My Husband” by the former Queen Iiarriger, now Mrs. Lucas, the well known society leader in Pittsburgh and Newport. Some people surely are fortunate in getting what they go sifter. That evening, at dinner, I was introduced to a Mrs. Howell, of Boston. Her husband was a member of si scientific association then and sin told my friends about the ludicrous subjects upon which some wore working. One famous naturalist and explorer was trying to discover what brand of perfume Cleopatra had used to lure Mark Anthony. This scientist was none other than 'liarles Aharrah! Warren Snyder was the head of tin1 radio broadcasting stations in Philadelphia. Tn the evenings the only way Mrs. Snyder could get him Page Fifty ISA XXUAIRF to listen was to go to a broadcasting room and speak over the radio to him. Mrs. Windsor had a radio in her home, so we went there after dinner. We tuned in on Petropolis, Brazil, and heard Grace Wiley making an appeal to the people to send down all their old winter coats for the inhabitants of the Amazon jungles. Then the announcer said, ‘‘We take great pleasure in awarding the Nobel Peace Prize to Miss Belle Kerr, who has invented an automobile that will run without water, oil or ga,s, and repairs its own blowouts.’’ Belle certainly brings peace to many families. I intended to leave for Washington the next afternoon, but Dick said everyone was going to Atlantic Pity to the National Beauty ('on-test. The Judges were to choose “Miss America, so I decided to go out there with Dick. The board walks were thronged with the gaily dressed holiday crowd. Soon ) we approached the place where, the contestants were. .Vs they filed past, the people applauded. Among the girls I noticed two familiar f a e e s a n d figures. They were .Miss Violet Johns and Miss Olive Hottel. The judges finally awarded the cup to Miss Olive Hottel, who was “Miss Buffalo.” At all the book stores T noticed advertisements. At one I stopped and read: “Helen Galbraith, famous American humorist’s latest book “A Burlesque on Why We Should Have at Least Two Years of Algebra. 4,000,000 copies sold already.” Helen always did make fun of her troubles. Dick received word that he was to go to Washington, too, so we decided to motor down. In a sleepy little town in Delaware, we found kills announcing that Ira Bailey and Francis Allshonse would give their famous mouth organ concert that evening. The loungers had even quit playing horseshoe, too, in order to discuss the concert in the “Opery House.” At Havre de Grace, Maryland, we met Richard Henderson. Richard was the owner of a big racing stable. He said that in his youth he became so tired of automobiles that he decided to take up horses for a hobby. He always had a liking for obsolete things. When we entered the Emerson Hotel at Baltimore, who should we run into but Mary Ruddock. Mary was engaged to a Russian prince who only had his looks and his long name to offer to her. Someone had said that Parks Bailey had his offices in Baltimore, so we looked up his address and dropped in for a little call. Parks was one of the most popular lawyers in the country, because he was noted for getting people the quickest divorces on the smallest amount of evidence. The first thing that entered my mind, while we were in the reception room, was that Park’s wife must have been his former secretary. What made me think this was because his secretary was elderly, and had a regular old inaid-ish look. My thoughts were interrupted by the opening of the door. And there stood Edith Byerly! L’ANNU. 1IRE Page Fifty-One “What on earth are you doing here, Edith?” I cried. “Merely consulting Parks concerning another divorce,” she answered, serenely. After we were in the private office Parks informed us that Edith was one of his best clients. This was her fifth divorce. Fay Masters, who was one of the chief operators in the telephone office, was preparing to publish a cross-word puzzle which contained same of the cross words to which she had to listen. In her leisure1 time Fay was helping a naturalist fake data on the monkey life at. .Druid Mill Park. She especially noticed the tourists. Next day, as we were driving along tin road to Washington wee stopped at a little hot dog stand. The voice of the proprietor sounded a little familiar, so I was eletermineel to investigate. The man had his hack turned when I came up but at last he turned, and there stood Harry Shirk. Harry remembers that we should profit by our past experiences. Have you ever had the feeling that you simply must have a double chocolate soda? Well, nothing satisfies you until you have that glass of cold, foamy, chocolate liquid before you. I was having that experience now, so consequently, at the first nice drug store, we stopped. Two attractive Southern girls were teasing tin soda slinger. The girls talked in low, drawling voices and demanded so much attention that it was some minutes before the young man came to us. Before 1 looked up, one of the girls called, saying, “You really must come up and fell ns more about Pennsylvania, Mr. Arthurs.” “Surest thing. Be there 7 :‘ 0” answered the young man. Pennsylvania—Art liars—the name was common, but 1 took a chance and asked if (la young man was Dick Arthurs, and he was flu very one. Dick was quite a success down there in Maryland. Mayb not a success in business, but with the girls. Dick and I beg in exchanging news about old friends, when suddenly he exclaimed, “Did you hear about Gladys Baughman? She's in quite a l ad od' r with the people. You know (Jladys wanted to demonstrate that a woman is as good a financier as a man, so she cornered the market on garlic! “And Mildred Baughman is the engineer of the Hoodie-Bug now. You know she .studied the mechanism of one of the cars and decided to take it apart and put it together again. I guess they haven't been able to find out yet where she managed to get all the different parts she had left over after she had put it together. “Oh, yes! And can you imagine what Geraldine Brinkley is doing? She i.s the head of a home for old maids and strayed cats and dogs. The home is in Wyoming, and slu says she doesn't see how there can he so many spinsters where there is such a surplus of males.” A,s our machine was driving down Pennsylvania Avenue, we heard the clang of an ambulance bell. There were some people gathered near the Page Fifty-Ttoo 1 I NX IMRE sidewalk, so we slowed down to see what the trouble was. There was the young lady who had evidently been hurt. When the policeman asked her name she answered, “Ada dones, Milliner, Brookville, Pennsylvania.” It later turned out that Ada was sight seeing down then , and had forgotten to look out foi machines. When the ambulance• came up, the young surgeon dressed in it is white suit, came over. I was turning away when someone called my name. I looked around, and there was Wayne Hall. He was the chief surgeon on this ambulance. I’ll 'net Wayne was popular among the nurses. He told me that Kathryn Fulton and Maxine Carnes were still down there. Kathryn was at the Walter Reed hospital, taking care of the soldiers, and Maxine was the private nurse for one of the r’u h, old Southern men who lived there. I could immediately call to my mind a picture of Kathryn, marching under an arch of swords, and wearing a beautiful wedding veil, and carrying a corsage of roses. The other picture was one of Maxine, standing beside her querulous but loving patient. After I had been shopping for a while at the Palais Royal, T went to Brownley’s Tea Room and Cafeteria for some iced tea and chicken salad. At an adjoining table sat two young girls, and they were evidently cross about something. Finally I heard one say: “T don’t see why these reformers always are trying to take the joy out of life. Look at that Ada Slmwkey trying to get Congressman Joseph Means, to get legislation to suppress the younger generation. What, oh what is t his world going to be like?” “That Mr. Means has a dislike for us dappers,” added the other girl. “Why, look! He even wants to limit the amount of time we should be allowed out!” Just then a newsboy came in calling “Extra! Extra!” I bought a paper and opened it to see what tin news was. There I saw in big, red headlines: “Interesting Situation in Race for Speaker of the House.” Below this I read that Mrs. DeFor-rest Steele was competing with her husband, tin famous statesman, for the honor as Speaker of the House. Thanks to Forrest’s training under Mr. Davis, he can debate both at home and in public. In the society column I read quite an interesting article. It stated that Frank Miller, the well known society man, was to take part in the tableau, “Romeo and Juliet.” He was to be the world famous lover, Romeo. The series of tableaux were given in the theatre by Washington society. As my cousins and I were entering the box, the curtain rose on the scene for the tableau. Frank was playing his part very well. The audience was very silent as Juliet turned, and holding out her arms, cried, “Romeo, my Romeo, where art thou?” Everyone was waiting for Romeo to rush in to her. The silence was startlingly broken by a man’s voice in the balcony, shouting, “Fm in the balcony, Julie, dead L’ANNUA I RE Page Fifty-Three drunk.” The man was inebriated. Needless to say, the rest of the lines could not he heard because of the laughter that greeted this contretemps. Next morning I called up my old friend, Mildred Heilman. She told me to come up to her apartment. Mildred was competing with Izzy Einstein for honors a,s the world's most famous moonshine sleuth. She already was known as the female Sherlock Holmes. Mildred carried on most of her work in Tennessee. “D’you know what I lea trice McCullough is doing?” she asked. “Well, she and George McAfoose have a ranch in Idaho. They raise cats. Beatrice was - gym teacher for a while, but the 55fe became too strenuous. “Helen Summerville is over in England, playing on tin stage. They say she was giving an impersonation of the teachers in the High School who taught the last year she went. And they say tin1 king enjoyed that more than anything else since Sara Kroh was there in that musical comedy. “Why Men Like Bungalows.” You know Sara made quite a hit in that. In one place she asked her leading man why men liked bungalows. lie said that they liked them because they were like a flapper’s head, painted in front, shingled in back, and with nothing in the upper story. “Eugene Kunselman Is traveling as a dwarf in a circus. He tried to teach school, but was too small. Mildred and I made an engagement that evening to hear Mattie Swineford’s lecture on “How to Live One Hundred Fifty Years.” The lecture hall was filled. We all were prepared to be bored by a tiresome long lecture. But Mattie made it short and .sweet. A summary of the lecture would be: go to no parties, don’t drink, don't smoke, don’t smile much, and be a pessimist. Even if you don’t live to be one hundred fifty, it will seem that long. “Helen McClain is in Han Francisco, teaching in a school for Chinese children.” Next morning, as I looked at my paper, I saw the startling news that Margaret Bullers, tin famous artist model, had eloped with a lumberjack who was employed in her father's forests in California. Margaret always did do sensational things. On the next page I saw the picture of a wrecked aeroplane. Underneath was written, “Miss Mabel Cramer, famous mail aviatrix, crashed into this tree yesterday. She was coming to Washington from Detroit in one of Ford’s new planes. From force of habit Mabel crawled out to crank the engine when it stopped, and tin plane got out of control.” Down on G street, near New York avenue, I saw a sign announcing that within was a beauty shop for men. When I asked who tin proprietors were, someone said “Kathryn McLaughlin and Edna Mayes.” As we were passing through one of the smaller suburbs of Washington, our machine was held up by a traffic jamb. When Dick came back he was laughing so that for several moments I could not get any answer Page Fifty-Four L’ANNUAIRE from him. When he calmed down, he said, “Yon know Willard Withe-row, the famous illustrator, who you said was in your class at school? Well, lie’s married to Mary Alice Ktartzell. The tie-up was caused by one of their several children, who couldn’t get his pet goat to quit chewing some papers on the street.” Down by the beach we saw a great sign board announcing that here was the great reducing school, conducted by Alexander dinger and Fred Walters. I suppose Fred serves as an example of how men will look when they have reduced. Luck seemed in our favor, so far, and we wore rapidly putting the miles behind us when—bang! a tire blew out. While Dick was fixing it, 1 noticed that the water supply in the radiator was getting low. I saw a lady working in a field nearby, so I crossed over to ask her for a pail of water. The sun’s rays were so glaring that I could not see the woman’s features until I was close to her. Then I saw it was Laura Nelson. She had been pitching up hay with her male employees. “So, you’re a farmerette, Laura? I asked. “I’ll say! Nothing suits me better. I did try teaching trigonometry but I played hookey as much as the scholars did. Say, Fll bet you can’t guess in a thousand years what Clarence Deist is doing. Restaurant owner? No, nothing so prosaic. He is a chemist, and is trying to find out the formulas for some beauty secrets, lie’s analyzing samples of powder, rouge and lip stick that he got, from King Tut’s tomb. “I had a letter from Marie Snyder too. She is a famous pianist, on the concert stage. She plays for Kathleen Fike, the grand opera priina donna. In her spare time, Marie gives .speeches on why immigration should be limited. But she doesn’t like to have her time limited. “Mildred Hall always had such a good voice that now she’s speaker for a sight-seeing bus in New York, •lust think! Ellen McNeil and Raima Johns are co-authors of a book on the latest forms of English grammar. They disagree on one thing: Raima says that the is the most important word, and Ellen says slang-words are most important. “Elsie was out to visit me the other day, and she says that everyone in Brookville is proud of Ray Buzzard. His ambition was to become an engineer. Ray is chief en-gineejr of the peanut trust. Ray worked things pretty cleverly, too. Rav was so busy working that he left the entertaining part to Gerald Brea key. Gerald looks like an Apollo, In wears his clothes so well. It was surprising how the women clients increased in number and how many ladies accompanied their husbands to Ray’s office.” As I started off, Laura called to me, “If you drive on for about ten miles you’ll come to where Daniel Afton is teaching the mountain children that it’s wrong to make fun of the federal dry agents. They might one day be one.” As we drove up to the school the L’AN Xli AIRE Page Fifty-Five children were coming out for recess. Daniel came over to the car, and after telling us about the school, he said in that voice we all know, “My greatest ambition was to be a general, like Foch. I always admired him for saying of the German hosts, ‘They shall not pass.' Since I cannot be a soldier, I say to my pupils, ‘You shall not pass.' ” As usual, the situation was relieved by this humor of Daniel’s. When we came to Richmond everybody was going to tin baseball game to see Clair Means, the world’s most famous left-handed pitcher. Instead of going to the game I went to see Viola Dickey. She was married to a wealthy cattle owner from the west, and they resided in Richmond for part of tin year. Viola had been a Latin teacher in a girls’ boarding school. Viola .said that the principal would say not to let one girl pass out of that front door while she was looking. Whenever the girls wanted to leave, she'd turn her back so she wouldn’t see them. Ruth Hetrick was a dancing teacher and Lucille Stahlman was the official food-taster in the same school. “D’you remember that Eugene Humbert, who sat beside you? Why, he used to be .so shy, and now lie’s a regular heart breaker. Tie was mining in the Transvaal, in South Africa, and he found the largest diamond now in existence. He takes two and three ladies out every evening to dine and dance. And yet he’s awfully miserable because he can’t decide whether the ladies want him or the diamond. He’s so modest.” At the hotel, I found a letter from my sister. She wrote to say that Henry Silvis was doing very well in his dental work. His last patient had only fainted once. Mrs. Raymonds, one of my friends, had a daughter at Blue Ridge Hall, a boarding school. Evadne was to come home that day for her week end stay. So I motored out there with Mrs. Raymonds. “My dear,” she said, “you’ll simply fall head over heels in lo f with the president. He’s so handsome. Tall, blonde, slender, but with big shoulders. And so flattering! Why, Evadne and all the girls are simply wild over him. And they say his dancing is divine!” The secretary ushered us into the room and said tin president would soon lie in. He was inspecting a dancing class. Soon the door opened and there I beheld .John Truman. SQUARING THINGS Mike O’Brien was convicted of stealing a pig. An elderly preacher approached him and asked what he would say in the day of judgment when he would be confronted by Mrs. Maloney and the pig. Then Mike brightened up and said: “An’ ye say the pig'll lx there?” “Yes, living evidence against you. Mrs. Maloney will lx there, too. What will you say?” “Yer Riverence, I'll say, “Widow Maloney, there’s your pig. Take it.” Page Fifty-Six IS ANNUM HE THE SENIOR CLASS PLAY (’AST OF “A PAIR OF SIXES’ The Senior class play, “A Pair of Sixes,” va,s presented on Thursday, March 12, 1025. The public liked it so well that the Seniors decided to give it again, the following Thursday, March 111, 11)25. The play was under the general supervision of Miss Marion Hamilton, supervisor of English. Tin High School orchestra, under the direction of Miss Grace Sowash. furnished excellent music for the performance. The cast was chosen by the faculty. Herbert McGaughey, as George B. Xettleton, played the part of the poor, tired business man and the overbearing master, to perfection. According to Warren Snyder, as T. Boggs .Johns, the butler, there seem to Ik several ways to approach and converse with a butler. Bill Witherow, as Krome, is the proud instigator of a new scheme in which one can retain his position, and please both his employers at the same time. Malrel Cramer, as Miss Sally L’ANNUAIRE Page Fifty-Seven Parker, proved to be a model stenographer, showing that one could still be efficient and at the same time have good looks. Business men wanting stenographers who don’t chew gum should put their application in early. Forrest Steele, a,s Thomas Yander-holt, the lawyer, discovered that his plan to help his old friend was a failure. When he went to visit George, In was almost frozen by the butler's manner when he answered the door bell. John Truman, as Tony Toler, found that all his trouble and efforts in bringing in the scalp of the North western Medical Company were wasted, due to a slight misunderstanding between the two partners. Mr. Applegate, played by Joe Means, convinced many people that no matter how hard they tried, their domestic trouble would get mixed up in their business. If throwing one’s self into a part is essential for success, we have nothing to fear for Eugene Kunsel-man, who played the part of Jimmy, the office boy. Jimmy certainly kept the audience in an uproar by his funny walking. Mildred Hall, as Mrs. Nettleton, had one of the most interesting parts of the play, of which she took every advantage. It was a very emotional part, rerquiring a great deal of acting. Mildred caused a great deal of mirth by her crying. Violet Johns played the part of Miss Cole to perfection. After finding her fiance a butler in her friends’ home, she tricks the lawyer, makes George jealous of his wife, and then finally walks off with Boggs, saying, “there isn’t any contract.” Geraldine Brinkley, as Coddles, was reported to have very nearh started a fad, in the mode of hairdressing. But never fear, girls. “Remember what happens to people who infringe on patents.” Geraldine was the scream of the play. The minute she entered the room, there was a lit of laughter from everyone . It's too bad she had to bear the misfortune of unrequited love, but she s� eins to have revived. “ARITHMETIC” lie was teaching her arithmetic, lie said it wa,s his mission; He kissed her once , he kisse el her t wice, And said, “Now. that's addition.” Then there followed smack for smack, In silent satisfaction; She timidly gave him erne back, And said, “Now, that’s subtraction.” Then he kisse el her and she kisses! him, Without an exclamation; Then they both hugged, and said: “That is multiplication.” But Dad appeared upon the scene. And smoothed with elecisiem; He kicked poor him three bletcks away, And said, “that’s long division.” Page Fifty-Eight L’ ANNUA IltE SENIOR CLASS POEM A.s Seniors now our work is done. From B. II.

There has been no attempt to produce, in this work, any great masterpieces of literature. The sole purpose was to give a brief summary of the activities and a review of the accomplishments of the different ( lasses this year. We have placed most emphasis (quite deservedly, we think) on the Senior class. Every person who lias been asked to contribute, has done so with excellent spirit and student cooperation. This, above all other things, is responsible for any success that our book may attain. As is always the task of the Seniors, we have tried to sot the example for the underclassmen. Sometimes, I think, we have failed utterly, and have been gently reminded of our failure, but we have always come up smiling, to try to do better. Page Sixty-Four L‘ ANN U AIRE It is easy enouyJi to be pleasant When the world goes on with a song, lint the fellow worth while Is the one with a smile W hen ererything goes dead wrong.

Kathryn Fulton, Editor, ’25 WOKK M irie Snyder Do thy work speedily, child of the earth. Waste i d a moment in sorrow or mirth; Life is a mystery shaded with gloom, Hearing us rapidly on to the tomb. Work has been given you, do not delay, Carelessly trifling the moments away; Dreamily floating on earth’s silvery tide, Stealthily down to the ocean we glide. Life is receding, the hours as they pass, Hear in their blossoms the sand from its glass; Why should we linger on time’s crested wave, Gathering baubles to garnish the grave? Think you the treasures that lie in the deep, Would soften earth’s pillow, or sweeten our sleep? Far sooner the thought, that earth's glittering toys Were lost in the struggle for holier joys. WHAT DOFS IT MATTER? Marie Snyder It matters little where I was born, Or if my parents were rich or poor; Whether they shrank at the cold world’s scorn, Or walked in the pride of wealth secure; Hut whether I live an honest man. And hold my integrity firm in my clutch, I tell you, my brother, it matters much! It matters little where be my grave, If on the land or in the sea, Hy purling brook, or ’neath stormy wave, It matters little or naught to me; Hut whether the angel of death comes down And marks my brow with a loving touch, As one who shall wear the victor’s crown, It matters much.

These girls show very great ability, and will supply plenty of material for a chorus in their Junior and Senior years. Their work has progressed steadily under her careful instruction. and they have learned many pretty songs. HOYS’ CHORUS The hoys’ chorus lias taken more strides toward the goal of attaining success than any of (In' other choruses. The boys are very much interested. and work hard, and they certainly are repaid for their work bv the applause which they receive whenever they entertain at chapel. We should be proud of our boys, for they have a good chorus, which can scarcely be surpassed by those of our neighboring High Schools. Our boys’ chorus took third prize at Clarion last year. ORCHESTRA Last year at Clarion, our orchestra won third place, and they were competing with High Schools much larger than ours. Many of the best players graduated la.st year, and everyone was rather pessimistic about the kind of an orchestra we would have this year. Rut every loss has some gain, and we gained players from the Junior High School orchestra. The players who were in the orchestra the previous year had all the more experience. Consequently, we have an orchestra which is about the best one around. Several of the players have given us individual concerts, and one of the best was the rendering of several selections on the musical saw. We all enjoy the music our orchestra gives us, and we are grateful to Miss Sowasli for her trouble. She has earned the many compliments which have been paid her by visitors. And not only does the orchestra entertain us, but they have caused our marching to improve also, much to the delight of Mr. McTlhatten and Miss Lilly. With the peppy music one can do nothing but keep in step. The Freshmen do get out once in a while, but they have three more years in which to learn.

With the exception of three pic- tures in black and white, the pictures were reproductions in color of famous masterpieces of art, and most of them related to the history, literature or picture study course prescribed by the state, and were placed in rooms where they would correlate with that work. In the art room we have arranged them according to schools. On one wall are reproductions of the ten Violet Oakley paintings in the capital at Harrisburg, flanked at the ends by work of Jessie Wilcox Smith. On the opposite wall is a group of Dutch masterpieces, two of Rembrandt’s and one of Frans Hal's; a group by English portrait painters, Reynolds, (lainsboro and Raeburn; and a group by Italian artists, including three .Madonnas Page Seventy-Two IS ANNUA IRE by Raphael. We also have a Max-held Parrish, a Turner and a Wyeth. The frieze of burlap below the pictures is used for displaying the work of tin art classes. The Freshman free-hand class has shown marked ability and individuality in the work completed, and is unusual for Brook-ville in the fact that half of the class are boys. They are awakening to the fact that the majority of artists in the world are men. The Sophomore free-hand class is small, but has done some line work. Both Freshman and Sophomore mechanical classes are large cbusses of bovs who have done careful, accurate work, and kept it up-to-date. The Sophomores did work with the inking pen during the last semester and seemed to enjoy it. Most of tin work of tin Junior and Senior girls was applied to design, trying to apply to practical, every day problems, (lie art principles learned during their previous training. That is the most showy work of the school, if we except the stenciling of the Freshman class. The breadboards and knives they completed for Christmas were well received, a number of them were sold for Christmas and many orders were received for more. Following a new fad, they also decorated glass bowls with oriental designs in colored enamel. The next problem, lettering and illuminating a motto for their rooms was quite different in character, but furnished useful training, while their block printed scarfs gave an attractive touch to their spring costumes. The Junior boys spent much time remodeling and learning to make molds and casts. They, and some of the Senior boys worked out some interesting problems in color concrete. Two of the Senior boys were especially interested in learning to represent things in color, so they devoted most of their time to painting in water colors or in oil, and Ave are proud of the results.

This docs liol mean j)hv.sica] courage, in which man is at least equalled by the bulldog, and yet the bulldog is not considered the wisest of his species. Real courage is that which displays itself in silent effort and endurance that dares to endure all and to suffer all for truth and duty. This is more truly heroic than the .achievement of physical valor which is rewarded by honors and titles or laurels, sometimes steeped in blood. Success does not come to us by asking. Let us not wake up too late and find that our companions have found success through ceaseless toil and that we have slept, expecting worthwhile things would flow to us .spontaneously. It appears in true form only after struggle and failure. Worthwhile achievements are acquired by those who labor persever-ingly without any glimmer of success in sight. The heroism men have displayed is to be measured not so much by immediate results, as by the opposition they have encountered and by the courage with which they have maintained the struggle. It is a mistake to believe that the greater part of courage is of a heroic kind. We may display our courage in everyday life as well as in the fields of battle. Let us consider the true meaning of common courage— the courage to be honest—the courage to resist temptation—the courage to speak the truth—the courage to be what we are, and not pretend to be what we are not. Life all sunshine without shade, all happiness without sorrow, i,s not life at all, or at least not human life. Take the lot of the happiest. It is a tangled yarn. It is made up of sorrows and joys, and the joys are all tin sweeter because of the sor rows. Even death itself makes life more loving, because it binds us close together while here. (treat men are always exceptional men; and greatness itself, is but comparative. Indeed, the range of most men in life is so limited, that very few have the opportunity of being great. Tint each man can act his part honestly and honorably, and to the best of his ability. We can use our gifts, and not abuse them. We can be trufc, just, honest, and faithful, in .small things. In a word, we can do our duty in that sphere in which providence has placed us. We may not have either money, prosperity, nor learning, nor power and yet we may be strong in heart and rich in spirit. Let us not mould an indefinite and purposeless life, like a pool of stagnant water, but let us dedicate our lives into a running stream doing useful work and keeping the machinery of the world in motion.

El NO Marie Snyder Are we complaining because of overwork? A re we condemning the teachers because we receive low grades? Whose fault is it? Have we done our best? ’an we say that we have occupied ourselves in the highest employment of which nature is capable, and can we leave school with the satisfaction that we have done our level best in making use of all our opportunities? If we are not satisfied with outwork. it is lack of effort on our part. Indolence must be carefully guarded against. It is as degrading to individuals as to nations. Sloth novel-made its mark in the world, and never will. It is a burden and incumbrance, and a nuisance, always useless, complaining, melancholy, and miserable. An idle dog will bo mangy and how shall an idle person escape? Idleness of mind i.s much worse than idleness of body; wit without employment is disease, which will lead to the ruin of the soul, and plague. As in a standing poo! worms and filthy creatures increase, so do evil and corrupt thoughts in an idle person. It is true that we all desire to possess that which stands for most in others. Rut to desire this without being burdened with tin trouble of acquiring it is as much a sign of weakness as to recognize that everything worth having is only to be had at the cost of effort. Even leisure can't be enjoyed unless earned by work. An honest, high minded per- son would revolt at the idea of sitting down and enjoying a feast and then going away without paying h'.s share for the least. While the slothful man drags himself indolently through life and the better part of his nature sleeps a deep sleep, the energetic man is a means of activity and enjoyment to all who come within reach of his influence. Even an ordinary drudgery is better than idleness. How small and narrow minded are those who contend that knowledge comes to anyone without work. Knowledge can not be planted in the human mind without labor any more than a field of wheat can be produced without previous use of the plow. No man can lx deprived whether by accident or by misfortune. of tin fruits of his studies. Let us labor conscientiously and improve our time while young. In youth, our steps are light and our minds are ductile, and knowledge is easily laid up; but if we neglect our spring, our summer will be useless and contemptible, our harvest will be chaff, and the winter of old age will be unrespected and desolate. Have we been sowing the seed of indolence during our high school course? Are you ashamed of the grades you have made in the past? If so, the future offers you a new chance. Are you going to take it? Some of us scoff at our fellow students who receive better grades than we. We call them teacher’s pets. But before we become jealous r if c Eighty L’ANNUA IRE of our fellow students, we must remember tlmt they have earned their grades by constant work and in the face of difficulty. They have toiled for something worthwhile. Power only belongs to workers; idlers are always powerless. Let us leave school with the determination that we will labor and toil until we will he able to say when life's journey is ended, we have dime our best. It is better to wear out than to rust out. Those were the happy days. Remember the Seniors of '2b as Ibex looked in the Eighth Grade. ltrookville High School enjoyed one of the most successful indoor campaigns since the institution of the sport in the local high school. Prospects for a championship live were not at all promising and Poach Pale was confronted with the task of rebuilding the organization around Haines, Galbraith and Kg mond. These men formed the nucleus for a very fast passing aggregation of courtmen, and hopes were entertained for the league gonfalon until certain infractions of training rules soon after the league season was ushered in, resulted in the loss of some of the most capable per formers, and thus jeopardized the possibilities of having a championship contender. It was during this period of gloom that certain events transpired which long will remain fresh in the memory of scholastic basketball fans. First of all, Clearfield was defeated here in a battle of wits and brawn when things were at their lowest ebb; secondly some potent reserve strength was uncovered during the “dark ages” and proved a source of satisfaction throughout the remainder of the season. John Mc-Graw once made the statement that a “team is no stronger than its reserve strength,” and this was only too forcibly demonstrated here last season. However, in spite of these adverse conditions the squad man aged to win ten of the regularly scheduled games. The most outstanding events of the year consisted of a double win from Kittanning, a squad which later participated in the W. P. I.

On the other hand, the local representatives were nosed oih of both DuBois and Punxsy contests and appeared woefully weak at Oil City and Meadville, chiefly because of the large playing floors. The most outstanding individual performer of the season was the elongated Paul Smith, who won tin1 Clearfield game at home unassisted, by virtue of his nine field goals, and continued this scintillating exhibition at Punxsy the following week, but to no avail, as his mates refused to come to his assistance. As the result of his consistent efforts, “Bones” ranked third in the individual scoring column of the league and inasmuch as Ik i,s only a Sophomore, much is expected of him before “finis” marks the close of his scholastic career. Captain Galbraith, Egmond and Haines were consistent performers who ought to be even better next year. John Truman, the other “walking derrick” is to be given due credit for his work of the past season. Snip is a Senior, and one of the two men who will be lost to the squad when another race rolls around. Joe Means is tin other Senior who will be conspicuous b his absence next year, and in passing, the writer might take this opportunity to commend this pinch hitter who always came through whenever the situation so demanded. Al. Means and Bill Ellis will long be remembered by local fans for their brilliant work in the Clearfield tilt at home. With only a few days’ practice, these men stepped into the breach and the outcome of that memorable .struggle is sufficient evidence of their playing ability. Karl and Blake Kroh filled in very acceptably whenever called upon and contributed more than their share to the ultimate success of the team. In conclusion the writer wishes to say a word of commendation for Coach Dale. Taking a green outfit and whipping it into championship form is up easy task at the best, and considering what he had to contend with at every hand, the thoroughness of his work stands out in bold relief.
