Today it may recall to your mind only the happy events of the past year; in the future, it will bring to you the most cherished memories of hours that are gone. TABLE OF CONTENTS Foreword Dedication Administration Classes Activities Athletics Look Here Advertisements one who is respected, honored, loved—to one who is a true friend to every student, and most of all—to one who holds uppermost in her heart the good of our Alma Mater—to MISS LILLY the Class of 1931 respectfully dedicates this, the eighth volume of The Echo Trees —Their Beauty and Their Meaning 7 think that 1 shall never see A poem lovely as a tree: For poems are made by fools like me, But only God can make a tree.” Thus the noble soul of our own Pennsylvania poet. Joyce Kilmer, gives expression to his feelings. All of us cannot be poets; few have been blessed with that enviable power of pouring forth their thoughts and emotions in such beautiful language as to inspire others. Every one cannot touch the hearts and minds of his fellow-men, and elevate their thoughts, by his delineation of Nature’s charms. Nevertheless, in each of us there are just as lofty and as beautiful sentiments as those of the poet, for there can be no one with soul so dead as to be irresponsive to the beauties of Nature. So, almost any of us can. with little effort, derive some pleasure and enjoyment from the consideration of the many aspects of our woody friends. We can discern beauty in the mighty oak and in the feeble sapling; in the luxuriant maple and in the lifeless chestnut; in the snow-covered pine and in the bleak hawthorn. Each seems to be a living representation of some fine doctrine in the code of Life. Trees, somehow or other, seem to be human: they seem to have character and tradition and personality. We aspiring graduates, throughout our scholastic careers, could always, if we only had the will, look upon trees as inspiring symbols of a really worthwhile life. Their gnarled roots are but figures of deep-seated traditions which we should cherish. In their stately trunks and sturdy branches we could see mirrored the high principles and ideals of a productive life. Their clean-cut outlines suggest the progressive and forward-looking ambitions which we should foster. Their magnificent foliage should represent the fruits of diligent toil and care. Their cheery attitude and softly chanted songs in the wind can point out the personal satisfaction and genuine happiness which one derives from the right kind of life—a life of service to his fellow-men. —James A.

Kelly, Member THE FACULTY Mr. Eli.enberger Letter to Seniors There is a small high school on the hills in historic old Brookville that is very dear to the hearts of many. A view from this hill reveals the peaceful valley and the stream below with the wooded hills in the distance. Here, they have been taught the meanings of this environment and. with that, the meanings of the world of knowledge upon which civilization and good citizenship so largely rest; and upon which all fine leadership is predicated. Here, too, they have had social contacts of deep and enduring values. Like the peace of the village and the beauty of the stream those friendships add a touch to life that lingers, lasts, and grows with the years. Here, moreover, they have been living in a Christian community where the ideals of right living have been set up. Like the trees on the wooded hill tops which lift up their boughs to God, these influences have immeasurably enriched their lives, and life’s purpose defined. To this four fold effulgence Brookville High School invites you and welcomes you. Mr. Biery Review of the Year “There is no royal road to anything. One thing at a time, all things in succession. That which grows fast, withers as rapidly: that which grows slowly, endures. I believe that every outstanding and permanent success today is the direct result of perseverance, the ability to push steadily along, in spite of obstacles and hardships, until the goal is reached. Success is gained only by overcoming obstacles. “Energy, “judgment,” “intelligence —these are important words, but they tell only part of the story. Many a man, not especially gifted, has achieved success where those more gifted have failed, simply because he kept plugging along. Only by perseverance can you build the kind of chatactcr that will carry you through whatever you may undertake. We cannot all be brilliant or gifted, but this one thing each can do persevere. Our school stands as a symbol of the perseverance of the community. May the younger generation continue to carry on the great work. I can think of no more inspiring challenge to give to the students of the Brookville High School. m v MISS SARAH A. ALLEN, A.

The contest is sponsored by the League of Nations itself in order to give instruction to the youth of all nations, that they may ultimately realize that international cooperation should be the normal method of conducting world affairs. The nineteenth century, ushered in in Europe, as it was by prolonged and bloody conflicts, brought the gradual dawn of a widespread desire to put an end to war, and some tentative efforts to prevent it. Men and women, rich and poor, were beginning to feel that war was abominable and an unnecessary catastrophe. Toward the end of the century, an organized system of arbitration had been outlined in the Hague Conference of 1899 and 1907. But progress was too slow to thwart the disaster of 1914; this struggle overwhelmed all alike. For four years nations which claimed to be the most civilized on this earth massacred one another. In the agony of the battle, men in the firing line dreamed of a healing and lasting peace which might crown their sufferings. In America, England. France, Germany—everywhere, associations were formed to prevent the return of war. At last Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States of America, formulated the outline of the League of Nations, which, once signed, was to inaugurate a new international era and guard against fresh catastrophe. It was with the idea in mind that the youth of today should understand the steps being taken in the advancement of international cooperation that our High School thus adopted for the first time the study of the League of Nations. The class, made up of Seniors, consisted of Dorothy Hilliard. Julia Sayer. Dorothy Wood, Ruth Dickinson, Jane Anderson, Clayton Enterline, and James Marsh. Under the capable direction of Miss Reicherter. the group completed the study of the text book which prepared them for the examination given on March 20th. Miss Reicherter. Mr. Biery, and Mr. Ewing formed the committee to select the paper to be sent in for the county contest. The Federated Clubs of the county had charge of judging the papers sent in from various schools. Seven high schools from Jefferson County entered the contest, each school sending in the two best papers presented. It was with much pride that we learned that Clayton Enterline, representing Brook-ville High School, received first place in the county, and our other entrant, Jane Anderson. was accorded honorable mention. Everyone in the class feels much repaid for having completed the course, which broadened their knowledge of the League of Nations.

Even more did we realize this when we received notice that the 1930 annual had received Second Honor Rating in the national contest sponsored by the National Press Association. As our ideas began to take form and our plans developed, we became more encouraged. Today we present to you a volume of which we are proud, and though it may not excel others, we feel it worthy to be considered a companion volume. We feel exceptionally proud of the fine art work which was under the direction of Miss Jacobs. From everyone it has received votes of approval and praise. The panels, the opening pages, and the cover design are the work of James Shaffer; the division pages and pen sketches were made by Elly Kaupp. In these is a real display of ingenuity and talent. The circulation managers report at the end of the subscription drive indicated to us that the student body was anxiously awaiting the publication of their yearbook; and it served as an inspiration to all to work a little harder that the result of their efforts might be worthy. The staff, which is most deserving of praise, is; Co-Editors-in-Chief_______Jane Anderson William Corbet Assistant Editor __________ Vesta Black Business Manager ____ Herbert Cummings Assistant Manager ________ Lex Barnette Circulation Managers Roger Martz Randall Webster Art Editors _______________ Elly Kaupp James Shaffer Photograps Editors _______ Dan Eisenhart Gertrude Headstrom Administration Editor _____ Julia Sayer Class Editor _______________ Anna Snyder Activities ..............

Of the original band only thirty-five now remain. Under the capable leadership of its bandmaster. Mr. Cooper, this organization, through its efforts and tireless practice has developed into a perfected group of musicians. V e each can attest to the variety of their repertoire, as they presented it to us in various chapel programs.

The orchestra under the leadership of Mr. C. H. Cooper is composed of members of each class. Practice is necessary to make any work perfect, and the activities period on Wednesday and Friday gives the orchestra this opportunity. During the year the orchestra has furnished entertainment to the Jefferson County Teachers’ Institute, for the Yearbook play, “Adam and Eva,” and the Senior class play, “The Queen's Husband.” Violins Jane Anderson Robert Arthurs Mary Louise Hoffman Ruth Stewart John Anderson Florence Burkhardt Julia Sayer Dean Wallace Clarinets Wayne Barrett Woodrow Miller Forrest Stahlman Chester Stunkard Saxophones William Corbet Samuel Fike Trumpets Lester Benninger Robert Harriger Robert Hilliard William Kelly David Wallace Bass Andrew Oaks Piano Doris Thompson Drums William McKnight Junior High Orchestra The Junior High Orchestra, an organization which gives to the younger and less experienced musicians training in orchestra work, is composed of junior pupils. Junior High chapel programs have been given by the group and have proved most successful. The members have played for the play. Adam and Eva, and the play, The Queen's Husband, and their efforts were enthusiastically received by the audiences.

I would not wait for anything; I'd use today that cannot last Be glad today and sing” This undoubtedly is the motto taken by the Girls' Chorus, for they feel that they can render a small service to our high school in this way. We appreciate as well as enjoy their efforts, because we often have the opportunity of hearing them. Under the direction of Miss Means they have made splendid progress and deserve credit for it. We are expecting big things at Clarion this year. Boys' Chorus This year has not been one of the most outstanding for the Boys’ Chorus from the standpoint of performances, but the efforts expended by both the boys and their director. Miss Means, give promise of a successful season next year. A great deal of time has been spent upon the technicalities of part singing, and we anticipate a busy future. Freshman-Sophomore Girls' Chorus Everything must have its beginning, and what a splendid one we have in our Freshman-Sophomore Chorus. It is from such as these that we form our Junior-Senior Chorus, as well as the Clarion Chorus later in the year. We realize that perhaps the members may feel that they are slightly in the background, but they will make their opportunity for success within the next two years. The Qirls’ Trio This is a group of which wc arc proud. Many have been the times that they have enlivened our chapel programs with their music and song. We regret that with graduation we shall lose two members of the group as well as the accompanist, but we feel assured that among the members of the choruses there may be found someone to fill each place. The members of the trio include: Lucille Rea ------------------------------ Soprano Mary Ann McGarey ....... ... ... Mezzo Soprano Ruth Dickinson .................................. Alto Jane Anderson ----------------------- Their Accompanist Miss Josephine Means ____________________ Their Director The Boys’ Quartette Here is a new organization formed in our school this year under the direction of Miss Means, the Director of Music. It has been composed of boys selected from the boys’ chorus. The quartet has given splendid performances at both chapel and plays, and they have been enthusiastically received by everyone. They expect to compete in the musical festival held annually at Clarion, and we expect them to return bringing new honors to their school. The members of the quartette are: Kimber Horton -------------------- First Tenor John Pfaff------------------------------Second Tenor Lex Barnette First Bass Bob Arthurs --------------------------- Second Bass G tr T y i a ' QlU r te’trLc i ■7 V p' h' n ii The Junior-Senior Banquet At last came the biggest event ever to be known in the history of the Juniors— the Junior Banquet. For weeks the Juniors had been working with all their might to prepare a banquet worthy of the Seniors. Finally, the moment arrived. 1 he boys and girls with their guests took their places at the daintily arranged tables. The gymnasium was decorated with blue and gold streamers that fell from a blue heaven. At one side of the floor was an imposing windmill. Dutch boys and girls were used as favors upon the table. The color scheme was further carried out in the yellow candles, and the yellow daisies mingled with blue asters. I he waitresses, garbed in striking Dutch costumes, served a delicious three-course dinner. Speeches, singing, and dancing concluded this happy event. Le Cercle Francais The French Club was first organized in 1924, and has been carried on each succeeding year by a group of students who have desired to promote an interest in French and to supplement the work of the classroom by more practical training. At each meeting held the first Monday of the month, an interesting program is arranged and carried on in French. All Seniors who are taking French are eligible to membership in Le Cercle Francais; and Juniors who have earned honor grades in French may become members. This year the club has been expertly guided in all its activities by Miss Black, and we who must say “au revoir” do it with deep regrets.

The membership has steadily increased each year, and the many services rendered in return for the small fee more than repays those who join. This membership is confined to students of the Junior-Senior High School. The following persons were in office for the year 1930-1931: ------------------- President -------------- Vice-President --------- Secretary-Treasurer ------------Football Manager Assistant Football Manager Assistant Football Manager ----------Basketball Manager Assistant Basket ball Manager Assistant Basketball Manager Charles Manners ______ John Anderson ________ Iona Kerr ____________ William Irwin_________ Harry Truman Jack Deible .......... David Wallace Roger Martz_____ Glenn Fulton _________ The Athletic Association The Varsity B” Club Whether or not we are imbued with the doctrine of Muscular Christianity conceived by Dr. Thomas Arnold, the beloved headmaster of Tom Brown at Rugby. we wholesomely agree with him that life is a struggle, which requires hard and active clean living, and involves a fight to the end. If we have lived this doctrine on the football field, the basketball court, at the track meet—wherever we have had our wills, our strength, or minds pitted against others, we have won the sobriquet of Good Sport. and are proud to bear it. This, too, is the aim which has sponsored the formation of the new Varsity B Club. Athletes, who have received their B's in the various sports, automatically become members of this group and endeavor to carry on the ideals of the good sport. The members act as counselor or judge, as needs be, to the problems that confront any athlete. The acting officers are: Eugene McManigle President William Ingcrsoll Secretary and Treasurer Joseph C.

This year has proved to be a busy and prosperous one, and each meeting held on Tuesday at the Y. M. C. A. has been well attended. One of the great purposes of the club is to bring our girls of the high school into a more generous and sympathetic companionship with one another. This companionship has given us nobler pleasures, richer and deeper joys, and higher aspirations. With this has come a new regard upon life which may be considered thus: L” signifies look, to see things worthwhile: I to investigate: “F” for fruitful service: and “E” for effort. Among the social activities of the club year were the Little Sister and the Big Sister parties, Mothers' Night, the Hallowe’en party, St. Patrick's Day party, not to mention tureen dinners which we all enjoyed so much, at least until the unlucky “5.” ”10, ”15” or ’’20” fell into our unwilling hands. During the past year we have initiated fifteen new members into the club, and though we regret leaving the work fall into other hands we know they will be competent and will work toward the same goal that has been ours.

Early in the fall. Mr. Paul Stewart was chosen as Faculty Advisor, and under his guidance the work of the year was carried on. Several persons have contributed much to the success of the year s work. We wish to thank Rev. Dickinson for his interest in the development of the organization as well as his series of interesting addresses. Of course, the year offered social opportunities, among which were the banquet given to the Football letter men. and the bean” dinner at which the faculty was entertained. (It must be that Mr. Biery suggested the menu.) During the year several new members were initiated into the organization, and upon these will rest the responsibilities of the coming year. The officers of the club were: Robert Arthurs -....

M. C. A. The purpose of the club is to create a friendly spirit among the girls of Brookville High and to better serve our Master, our school, and our community. At an early meeting in the fall, officers were elected and Miss Smathers was chosen club advisor. The activities of the club have largely pertained to sports—swimming and basketball. Engagements with other teams have been few, but the girls anticipate a wider range of activities to accompany its growth.

The members of the cast represented each class in the high school, and each performed his part like a true professional. Miss Fulton deserves much credit, for it was through her advice and criticisms that the success of the play was largely due.

The three necessary elements of a successful play were in evidence: a plot which was interesting and intriguing: a setting, attractive through its simplicity and color; and a splendid cast, most capably directed by Miss Edna Taylor, that filled difficult roles in a truly effective manner. Praise is due to each person who was connected with the production of this success. The cast of the play w$s: Frederick Granton, the King's Secretary __________.... Erie Kahle Phipps.

The team, led by “Hooker,” fought through a season which was hard and trying for beginners. I can’t help but think to myself, I wonder if success and victory are always with the team bearing off the high score. I can remember cases where that was not true. The first three games were fought through without the opponents scoring—-but that didn’t last forever, and soon came the stronger, veteran teams—teams that had fought many notable seasons without defeat. We won, though not literally, for we gained valuable experience and we learned to take the bumps. Many notable plays took place during the season—one which I recall was a run made by “Huffie” in the East Brady game. In recollecting this play, however, I wonder what a backfield would have done without a line. Credit is surely due Fuller, Plyier, Linehan, Mayes, Corbet, and Ingersoll for their offensive work that sent these plays through. Schedule for 1930 B.H.S. OPP.

The team will never forget his fighting spirit. EUGENE McMANIGLE— Hooker” Hooker” can always be depended upon to give all he has, whether it is on the football field or the basketball court. He was a fearless player and a fast thinker. ALFRED FULLER— Bud One always felt safe when he saw Bud in his usual place in the lineup. He kept his end going on the offensive and more than did his own on the defensive. F1RL KROH—“Firl” Little but mighty—that's Firl. A fast, slippery man that kept his opponents on the alert—a dependable man upon whom his team mates could rely for support. WILLIAM KIRKLAND— Bill Bill gave his best at all times: he was an apt and capable wingman whose absence will be noted next year. DANIEL LINEHAN— Dan Without former football experience, Dan played his position this year like a veteran. He was a dependable and courageous man. EARL PLYL.ER— Earl” A guard who soon made his presence known to his rivals. Many were the times that Earl's getting of his man insured the safe passage of the ball. JOHN PLYLER—“Johnnie” John found it profitable to take some time off his other extra-curricular activities to make for himself a name upon the football field. We are glad that he did. JACK LUTHER—“Jack Jack worked wonders at end. When the impossible was to be done, Jack did it. We shall miss him next year. HAROl.D STEELE—“Steele Harold came here as a senior and immediately made a place for himself in B. H. S. athletics. More than once, when given the ball, did he hit the line for large gains. LLOYD CORBET—“Lloyd- One whose presence was felt through his fine fighting spirit, and one whos: absence is felt both today and tomorrow. He endeared himself to his team mates and his classmates by living his high ideals both in the athletic contest and in the classroom. ARTHUR BATTAGLIA—“Art- Art was one of the smallest but fastest men on the squad this season. He could be depended upon to give the fans the thrill they expected. We expect more of the good work next year. JAMES SELLERS—“Bud” Red kept the team in good humor by his wise-cracking;” but that isn't all that he could be expected to give, for his was an abundant store of surprises for his foe. ROBERT MORRISON—“Bob” A synonym for consistency and dependability—that was Bob. but still that did not keep him from making spectacular plays, either. HAROLD MAYES— Mayes” Harold probably felt the influence of Corbet's fighting spirit as much as anyone on the squad. His playing was dependable if not brilliant. WILLIAM INGERSOLL—“Bill Those long walks up East Main street surely did their share to keep Bill in training (the walks, you understand). On the football field he was full of fight and never gave up. RAY RICHARDS—“Percy” The honor of the sophomores was surely well placed in this player for he proved to be valuable when it came to impressing the opponents. Next year promises to be a busy one for him. PAUL HOFFMAN— Huffie” Once Huffie gets away, all that can be done is watch him tear down the field. His fleetness of foot and elusive running aided the Maroon and White in many a close call. We expect many glorious games for him within the next three years. JACOB PITTS—“Jake” Jake his the family honor to keep intact. He was not satisfied to live off the laurels given to another, and early showed evidence of this by his aggressiveness. Much is anticipated of this blond fighter and he may be sure of his support from the fair fans. ROBERT KIRKLAND—“Bob Though Bob never boasted that he was Bill’s brother, it was soon evident that they were made of the same goods. A bright future is surely in store for him. Basketball Memories We started out the season with a bang!—no team could defeat us. But like all clouds, ours had its rainy side. They tried to treat us rough at Emporium, but nothing doing. We went right on p’aying clean basketball and emerged at the end with a one-point lead. Reynoldsville came down to tear up the town, but decided to go home without fulfilling their plans. Kittanning couldn t seem to come out of the haze that enveloped them. But all good things come to an end sooner or later. Our encounters with Ridgway and DuBois helped to hasten this on. Indiana proved an opponent to be dreaded. During the season we kept playing McManigle and Kroh, who helped keep the other teams in a daze by their rapid passing. Tucker Truman played fast and furious ball: he just couldn't miss one from around the foul line. Do you remember at Punxs'y that the gym didn't have any back door for Art Battaglia to go out, and consequently, he was almost mobbed by those little girls. At Emporium Freddie got sick. Too bad, girls, that you had to let him alone for a few days. Call out the reserves!'' This was the cry raised to escort Haughie” to the restaurant, where he relished and ate for practically two hours. I hen his private car drove up and took him to Brookville. Near the end of the season. I happened to pass the coach s office just in time to hear these words: Well, Wallace, with your brains and my strength we ought to make a basketball team out of these Hebrews. Who or what failed, if any? Basketball Games 1931 B.H.S. OPP.

Those fair ones will miss seeing him streak down the floor to a sure basket. KROH— Guard and co-captain plays his last year of basketball for B. H. S. A valuable player whose shoes will not be filled until the next Kroh comes along. HAUGH— “Remember Kittanning?” Haughie plays his first and last year of varsity basketball. KORB— John leaves us just as he makes a grand start. We regret that he didn't play basketball sooner. LUTHER— Jack barely missed a letter, but he was there as a good fighter, and that was what counted. BATTAGLIA— Captain-elect. Art played forward with Manners, and did he dig those baskets, I ask you? We anticipate a great year to follow for Art. INGERSOLL— “Big Bill” is Sweet William” now. Bill played a sub-center and was a good fighter. TRUMAN— Center of B. H. S. played his first year of varsity basketball. “Tucker” won laurels outstepping Anderson who is regarded as a good player. MANNERS— Freddie was sort of bashful (not with the girls), but when he got on the floor he showed that he could do as well as the rest. HOFFMAN— “Huffie can play basketball, too. Remember at Reynoldsville? Well, he led old B. H. S. in a great scoring spurt. WALLACE— Not so bad as a manager after he got his system established. He learned to pack— he may make a good bell-hop some day. THE CHEERLEADERS— Too much credit cannot be given to the four cheerleaders who were so consistent in their support, and who did so much to keep the old Maroon and White spirit alive. This is the first year that we have had a Junior High team governed by the same rules that are employed with the Varsity team. The organization has served as an incentive for good scholastic standing since grades have had to be kept up in order to play. The team had a very successful season, winning six league games and losing one. The scores were: Brookville 4: Brockway 10 Brookville 27: Clarion 13 Brookville 13; Punxs’y 12 Brookville 26: Clearfield 18 Brookville 1 1; Brockway 1 1 Brookville 26: Clearfield 15 Brookville 34; Punxs'y 12 The following players took part in the games: McManigle, E. Battaglia: Park. Pitts, Kelly, Schreckengost, Morrison, McAninch, Humphrey, Fuller, Rhinehart, Hilliard, and Sayer. Junior High Basketball Track The track season for last year was a huge success. Brookville went to several meets, and won events in all of them. The track team for ’31 promises to be an exceptionally fine one with so many men re-entering the events: Manners, McManigle, J. Plyler, and Korb: as well as many newcomers, promise another successful season. Tennis J. S. Barnett emerged last spring with several new classy strokes. As a result many persons became excited and aspired to be “Bill Tilden. Barnett. Biery, and a few other members of the faculty thought they were pretty good until Royer. Wallace and Truman came out and showed them that tennis was an “art. They revealed to them the difference between batting the ball around and playing tennis. The championship tournament was played off in '30 and Royer and Katherine Means emerged as champions. This season promises to be as exciting as last, and we look forward to even more enthusiasts of the sport making their appearance upon the courts. The Faculty Team The undefeated Faculty made its rounds this year, again beating all oncomers. The team, under the leadership of Coach Barnett, played a tough schedule, but came through undismayed. Among the choice plays of their season, we cannot forget the basket that Mr. Phillips made, the time Prof. Biery burned up the floor (or was it the other way around?) and the gorgeous shots of the captain. The members of the team were: J. Barnett (capt.) . Center F. Barnett Guard C. P. Phillips ... Forward W. Mooney Guard J. E. Biery Forward Wallace Scoreless Wonder The schedule of the games played: FACULTY OPP. Faculty vs. Second Team ... 37 36 Faculty vs. Juniors ... 56 13 Faculty ys. J. T. Professionals . 32 31 Boys’ Interclass Basketball The inter-class basketball competition this year was a rigorous one. The tournament started with each class well-represented. As the season progressed certain teams were eliminated, until only the best (?) team remained—the Seniors.

Nuff said. 3 Think maybe it did commence. We got books, anyway, and they don t look like fiction, either. 4 One should always be willing to take what he gets—we got a holiday today. 5 Hot feet!! A new song? No, just a parade. Mrs. Lingbergh reviewed us. and of course Bill had to stumble as we passed the stand. 8 Work began this morning. Well, anyway, school started. 9 By all the Freshmen here you’d think it was spring instead of fall. 10 Chapel showed two things: that the Freshmen are there in quantity at least: and we were introduced to Miss Means. She s the new music teacher. 1 1 Football practice. 18 Bill and 1 sent a Freshman up to the shop to get a fire drill today. 1 guess he got it. We had one in about ten minutes. 22 To all who labor hard comes a day of rest. Well, who said I was talking about myself? 26 I’m getting my “maroon and white spirit out of moth balls. Bill says we 11 need both. 27 Who won? Didn't you see anyone strutting around? OCTOBER 3 Any old port in the storm. Bill says. We took Clarion. 6 General review in English today. Gee. school gets more like the army every day. They're having reviews for generals now. 1 0 According to Noah, a report is an explosive noise. Guess that s what Dad 11 make when he sees mine. 1 1 Brockway sampled our goods. Guess they decided not to enlarge the order. 1 6 Rain—lots of slickers, but not city. 17 On to East Brady ! ! I guess it wasn’t the rain that dampened our spirits. 20 Institute. Who’s that I hear crying? 25 Knox visited us, but results are better left unmentioned. 2 7 School is like Bill's Ford. It started unexpectedly today. 28 Bill and I went to the Hi-Y Hallowe’en doings. I was almost disgraced. Bill nearly passed out before the evening was over. He says he guesses he’ll take lessons from Dave Wallace if he’ll teach him to play “Kiddie Kar’’ polo. NOVEMBER 4 Bill and I went to the Senior Hallowe'en party. It was like we were—late, but sure. Bill’s girl didn’t know him even though she flirted with him all evening. 10 Athletic Association membership drive. Some classes got what I never get in mine—100%. 14 Vacation for two days. Saturday and Sunday. 18 In Economics class today Bill proudly proclaimed that chickens were the direct producers of eggs. 22 Today's game is playing stage hand, and is pulling down the curtain on 1930 football history. 24 Basketball material looks good. I can tell you what kind of goods later on. 26 Snow today. 27 Thanksgiving Day. Bill says he's thankful for—. Gee, I guess he went to sleep. DECEMBER 1 School again. Nothing doing today. 2 Basketball must have become an actor. The sport writers of our weeklies say it’s taking the center of the stage at B. H. S. 5-9 The goods seems to be wool, and a yard wide. Scores read: B. H. S. 17, Brockway 8: and B. H. S. 12; Emporium 11. 10 Good show this afternoon. Guess I’ll be sick. 12 First league game. 19-12, in whose favor? 1 6 Kittanning proved an easy victim, despite all rumors otherwise. 17 Had our Christmas entertainment today. It was great, especially the “three kings. 19 The team came out successfully, but the coach was defeated. Yea, he took the unlucky step. 19 Vacation begins. 29 Back again. Bill is wearing a new tie that he says Santa brought him. Gee, but Santa can pick peppy ties. 3 1 The band gave us some entertainment today. Bill thinks music cultivates the mind, even more than lessons, but Mr. Biery didn’t agree with him. JANUARY 1 Bill hopes the first day of the year will not determine all the following days. Who wants one of Mr. Phillips' tests every dayi 2 New Year resolutions badly bent. 3 New Year resolutions broken. 5 Surprise attack. DuBois took us by four points. 12 Got a Scotch cold today; it’s rather tight. 1 5 See you at the game tomorrow. That is. if Bill recovers from that Economics test. 16 Downed Sykesville. Great! ! 1 7 Just told Bill we lost the game to Indiana. He said he would start looking for it. 19 Classes and snow today. 20 Classes today. 23 Why the excitement? We got Punxs'y’s scalp at 20-18. 27 Sick today. 31 Bill has decided to go in for mice and “Mouse Traps,” too. FEBRUARY 6 And still the game goes on. We're planning a scalp exhibit. Clearfield's is the last one. 7 Guess Bill heard about the scalps today. He wasn't at school today. I’ll have to ask his mother if he enjoyed the rest under the bed. 1 5 Everyone is sad. Lloyd Corbet is gone. 1 7 School was dismissed in memory of Lloyd. 20 The Gray essays were read. Bill guesses they lost his before the judges saw it. 23 We are getting leaguey.” There is a league of teachers and pupils going to study the League of Nations. Bill wonders when they’ll give their attention to the National League. 27 If we had nine months of school that were all like February, we’d be happy. MARCH 4 March the 4th is always an important day. Miss Flanagan and her Irishmen” kept this from being an exception. 6 Bill congratulated the new members of the Honor Society, and there weren't any sour grapes, either. He says to the victors go the spoils, and his middle name isn’t Victor. 6 Punxs'y is aching over the fall from the fall from our hands. Why not? They fell pretty hard. 10 Busted my pencil. Can't write anymore. 1 1 Haven’t got my pencil sharpened yet. 1 2 Played Hookey today. Keep it quiet. 13 Snow. 14 Snow. snow. 1 5 Snow, snow, snow. 1 6 Bill came to school on snow shoes today. 1 7 I thought with cooling down of the Freshmen, that green would not disturb my dreams anymore. Where did Bill get that nightmare of a tie? Even St. Patrick himself would see snakes if he caught a glimpse of that. 18 We saw scenes from Adam and Eva. They look encouraging. 19 It looks like fun making chicken coops. Bill wishes he could coop a real nice chicken. Maybe Adam can give him advice there. 20 Tests—but this time just the league we told you about. Clayton got the county prize, too. Bill still wonders about the National League. 21 Class play practice. It's something about The Queen’s Husband. 23 I was sick today. I got traveling bag or grippe. 26 Bill, John, I worked today. 1 mean John and I did. APRIL 2 It’s a good way to start a month—with a holiday. We always do things the best way. We had four days. 6 Play practice. Bill hopes Miss Taylor makes him co-director. He knows a lot about Queens. That’s his dog's name. 7 Well, yesterday was Monday. Today is Tuesday. 9 My great-uncle died yesterday, so no school tomorrow. 10 S funny—Bill’s great-uncle died. too. 1 7 Football banquet last night. Bill's sick today. 20 Miss Taylor offered us three strikes at each question today. Bill had a no-hit game. 22 “You know, I know—Shake’’? 29 Those reports sure were explosions. Bill says it looks like a red letter day for him. 30 “The Queen’s Husband came out from behind those feminine barricades. MAY 4 Gee. Bill, didn't Mr. Phillips give us a surprise! 5 We pledged our support to good health, at least as Miss Lilly means it. 8 Bill and I are going to the banquet. Hope Bill doesn't get sick this time cause he borrowed my shirt. 15 The song birds are going to soar at Clarion today. 20 The curtains are lowering and we are inviting a crowd to see it occur. We got the invites today. Speaking of seeing it. Bill says he is having the whole front row reserved for his friends. I don’t blame him. Whoever thought he would get to that place? (He didn’t). 21 Say, I wonder when that annual is coming out. 29 Won’t tomorrow be a memorable day? Imagine a Memorial Day on Saturday. 31 Baccalaureate Day—solemn and sad. Bill says he guesses he’ll take some of the advice. JUNE 2 We thought we were ending it. but they call it our Commencement. 3 Well, it’s all over. Gee. I’ll miss the good times, and what will I ever do without Bill? Epilogue WE, the 1931 Echo Staff, hope that we have created a book which will recall the life in our school during the past year.
